SPEAKER 05 :
My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion nonsense. And these are policies that were absolute nonsense throughout the government and the private sector. With the recent yet somewhat unexpected great Supreme Court decision just made, America will once again become a merit based country. you have to hear that word merit based country and i’ve made it official an official policy of the united states that there are only two genders male and female and we will have no men participating in women’s sports and transgender operations which became the rage will occur very rarely that is the uh… president
SPEAKER 09 :
He’s speaking there. He was speaking at the World Health Organization. And it’s… I mean, his remarks were pretty good. He got up there and he basically… Take it down a little bit. He got up there and basically told them off to their face. And it was interesting. He was invited and he was supposed to go there to speak at the World Health Organization. Or not World Health, sorry, the Economic Forum. He’s at the Economic Forum. And he’s… was supposed to go to Davos, but then, you know, he’s going to North, he’s going to the Carolinas, he’s going to Los Angeles, he’s going to be viewing the damage from the fires, all that. And so he did, he joined this World Economic He joined it remotely and just kind of told everybody off and it was kind of it was nice to watch. It was nice to watch. Welcome to the show. Dana Lash with you. We are at the top of this first hour and we are broadcasting from Keltex booth at SHOT Show here in Las Vegas and it’s. It’s always a crazy, always a crazy event. Yesterday was a crazy event. You can, by the way, you can also look and check out all of our discussions. All of our, we had Don Jr. on yesterday. We have a packed show for you today. If you get the newsletter over at Substack, I sent that out. So you’ll have that. You can see, get an idea of who we got coming on today. So lots of stuff happening. We’re here. It’s the National Shooting Sports Foundation. It’s their annual industry event. And so it’s a private event. It’s not like a lot of the other firearm expos or conventions or anything of that nature. It’s for the manufacturers. And so NSSF is the lobbying entity for the manufacturers. So they have this every year. It’s interesting because the ATF booth is downstairs. And I walked by the FBI booth. Like on my way, you know, they’re here to recruit. That’s what they’re here for. But fascinating stuff. It’s always interesting to see the emerging tech that comes out of these events and to see what’s happening and what you can expect in terms of Where I mean in terms of what people are carrying and the future of firearms and it’s just really fun So anyway, so we’re live from Vegas now. That’s why I don’t look like I’m in my regular studio and also on top of it We’re in the I call it the snow white box. It’s a glass box. It’s a snow white box. It’s a glass box and It’s supposed to be soundproof. Top’s open. But it’s right here at the Caltech booth, right here on the floor in the middle of it. So we have a lot of fun. All right, so let’s get to it. We’ve got a lot of stuff to hit today because, like I said, the president speaking at the World Economic Forum, having that discussion, going up there and saying, look, you guys haven’t been so nice to us. I love how he went up and was saying that, you know, Europe hasn’t been so great to us, that Europe hasn’t been so nice. And, you know, you send us all your cars, but we can’t hardly send you anything. And he said that, you know, unless you basically make it fairer, then he’s we’re going to implement tariffs. We’re going to we’re going to go for the implementation of tariffs. That’s what we’re doing. And I thought his remarks were good. They were, you know, he talked about his historic win and all of that. But everyone just kind of and I think he got a good reception there. I think that there are enough countries in Europe, especially if you’ve watched the way that the elections have gone, they’ve They’ve they’ve had it. They’ve they’ve had enough. They’ve had enough of the complete collapse of borders, no control over their own sovereignty. Of course, a lot of that was the EU agreement. But they’re they’re tired of all of it. And so I think they’re really welcoming this. And he got a really he got a really good reception. I got some other audio as well. This audio soundbite three. Trump was talking about his visits to North Carolina and L.A. later this week. Let’s play that.
SPEAKER 05 :
It makes no sense. So I’m stopping. I’m stopping in North Carolina. First stop. Because those people were treated very badly by Democrats. And I’m stopping there. We’re going to get that thing straightened out because they’re still suffering from a hurricane from months ago. And then I’m going to then I’m going to go to California. Will you meet with Gavin? I don’t know. I haven’t even thought about it.
SPEAKER 09 :
I haven’t even thought about it. I like his, he hasn’t thought about it. Well, because, I mean, Gavin Newsom, I mean, he’s spent so much time in petty partisan politics and politicizing even the wildfires and the response to the wildfires. And so there’s not going to be, there’s not a lot of, there’s not a lot of, for Gavin Newsom anyway, not a lot of sympathy for Gavin Newsom because he helped create these problems that the state is facing. So that would be, I mean, I think that that’s, That’s a decent… I mean, he’s going there this first week. He’s already making some of these big trips. He’s going to North Carolina, going to visit all of the fallout in the Carolinas from Hurricane Helene because people are still homeless, freezing, going to Los Angeles, looking at the wildfire damage. All good things. So he’s done so much already, I think, in just the first couple of days. My gosh. I wanted to get into some other stuff because there’s all… It’s like I said, the first… The cool thing about all gas, no brakes and going hard the first six months is that you’re getting a lot done. However, there’s a lot to cover. Like for instance, he was talking about interest rates dropping immediately. He’s already, I mean, this is already having a pretty significant impact. And I was reading this is over from The New York Post. He’s looking at interest rates after the mortgage and credit card hike under Biden. He talked to at this World Economic Forum about his economic policy, because right now everything has been so focused on energy. And in fact, that was noted when he was speaking at the World Economic Forum. So much of it is was focused on energy. But he was talking about what he’s going to do. for the average everyday American tax cuts. We’re going to have a huge tax cut package. He said that the tax cut package that he is looking to pass is actually going to exceed the amount in savings for taxpayers last time, his first term. So incredibly significant. Huge. That’s very significant. And if we can reduce government spending, all the better. Imagine what that would look like if he could also reduce government spending a few other things To get into all of this the see some of the other fallout. I’m just going over some of these headlines here You have the ATF adjusting leadership titles under this DEI order you had the the ATF there they had a chief diversity officer and that was changed now to senior executive because they’re trying to hurry up and get this all situated, make sure that they can retitle their people so that they can keep them. Maybe Trump won’t notice that the senior executive used to be the chief diversity officer. So they defied his order because he wanted to get rid of all of these DEI workers that were he wanted to get rid of all of them. And Now, the ATF is trying to, well, they’re trying to dodge the order. So I think that there should be penalties. There should be penalties to pay, I think. This is, I mean, he was told, or he told, he gave this order to all of these agencies. It’s time to get rid of your DEI positions. And ATF said, no, we’re not doing it. So they rebranded it. And the funny thing is, is they try to rebrand it on their website without… any kind of indicators that they had done so. They tried to very surreptitiously do it. But they were still caught. They got caught rebranding it. They all got to go. They all have to go. If you look at the number of bureaucrats that are running the ATF, it’s asinine. They all have to go. So that was pretty significant. They’re already trying to dodge this. They’re already trying to do it. So this coupled with what he’s been saying as it relates to the energy unleashing, domestic energy unleashing, getting our stuff out there for exportation, and then also tax cuts. This is significant. Cutting government spending is more. He took questions from the World Economic Forum as well. But I just like that he went up there. I don’t know if you caught any of it, Kane. I just like that he went up there and he just told them off. He was like, you guys aren’t helping us. Europe’s not helping us. They’re not. It was really nice to hear that articulated. Because it’s true. I get really tired of defending, you know, tariff… the tariff issue because the people who engage in it and act like you’re the one who’s engaging in big government, they omit constantly the fact that every other country, they put tariffs on our product. I mean, it’s asinine.
SPEAKER 14 :
They don’t even accept any immigrants either. No. Illegally. He knows what they’re doing. The narrative globally has been that we’re the bad people of the world. And Trump is quite easily showing that that is not the case.
SPEAKER 09 :
So, again, remember how I was saying it’s like drinking from a fire hose? All of this. So it’s been reported. Daily Wire has the story. He’s pardoning. This is brand new. He’s pardoning pro-life activists that were targeted by Biden’s DOJ. And apparently they’re going to get pardoned in days. You have one woman, Lauren Handy, I think, isn’t she the grandmother? She’s 57 months in prison. Paulette Harlow, she’s a grandmother, 24 months in prison. They would stand outside, whatever your thoughts on it, they were standing outside abortion clinics and they were praying for the women that were going in. And they were being accused of obstructing. Which, you know, you have an overzealous DA. Pretty sure I’m not going to trust their interpretation of things. But they said it’s an immediate priority and it’s going to happen in days. So that’s huge. That’s significant. So already there’s so much stuff being done. Like I have just a whole list of stuff that there’s so much that is happening. And it’s only like, what, day two, three? Good night. It’s going to be like this, I would imagine, for the next six months because they’re going to try to get done as much as possible. That’s what I think. We’re going to get into a lot of this, including some of the ICE raids in Boston. They detained a number of people who were in the country illegally. I haven’t seen it confirmed, but there were reports that some of them were like Tren de Aragua adjacent. We’re going to get into all of that. I also have a number of guests for you coming up. We’ve got Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. We’re going to have Ken Shamrock, who’s joining us. Because why the hell not? You’re at SHOT Show. It’s the first hour. Why not have Ken Shamrock? Come join halfway through the hour. And then later on, we got, do we have Randy Couture today? Yeah, we do. We got Randy Couture coming up. Taryn Butler, who did all the gun food for John Wick, all that stuff. So we got a lot of stuff happening. With everything going on in the world right now, the economy, conflicts, the open border, spiraling national debt, the devastating inflation, it’s critical that you have a plan for diversifying and protecting your savings. And that’s why so many, including myself, have turned to precious metals like gold and silver. to help protect our savings.

SPEAKER 14 :
And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, you guys are going to be so sad. This is such a sad headline. CNN is going to lay off hundreds of employees as a post inauguration transformation begins. You know why they’re laying off employees? I keep so I’m not in my regular studio, so I feel like I can, you know, be a little wilder. I got to be very careful. The reason that they. are not that they’re having to lay off all these employees is because it’s been a poonado. It’s been a horrible fecal storm of nonsense. That’s why. It’s because they’re so biased. Take it for somebody who was the token conservative there back in 2012. And then they never really ingratiated conservatives in the company. They never really ingratiated them with upper management, et cetera, et cetera. So that’s why. Because people are tired of watching that nonsense. They’re tired of it. Also, I guess they’re bringing back Duck Dynasty at A&E. Where has it been? Has it been on this whole time? Still? So it’s going to be the revival. And apparently it’s coming back to A&E. The last episode aired in 2017. I did not know that.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s been that long?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I did not know that. By the way, how sad is it? Like a couple of years passed and we’re all like, it’s been that long? That’s so wild. What? NFL suffers playoffs ratings blow for division round despite ESPN’s record as the Bills and Ravens failed to deliver big numbers. Why is that? They just didn’t like who was playing? Like, what’s up? Whoa, what does that mean?
SPEAKER 14 :
There’s a lot of different speculations. Some people sour, some people not. But it could be just a simple Nielsen ratings thing. So we don’t know yet. We’ll see.
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t know. That’s very unlike your typical tinfoil hat stuff. I’m not satisfied with that answer. Former VP Kamala Harris. There’s now they’re saying that there’s turmoil because the word is that she’s blaming his scandals for her losing the presidency. She’s got, you know, as a strong, empowered woman. it’s paramount that you pass the buck to the closest male. That’s how that works, right? So his scandals, remember the nanny scandal? It’s all being blamed for her losing. Not the fact that she just copied and pasted Joe Biden’s policies or that people retired under living under this Democrat regime. That’s why. In addition to that, the Gulf of America is already appearing in government documents. They said that the shock and awe orders kick in. That’s what they’re calling it, shock and awe orders. But they said now already in government documents, Florida was the first. The U.S. Coast Guard has now officially used the Gulf of America in their press release when they were announcing the immediate action in support of the executive orders from the president. So they said, they said Gulf of America. They said it. So it’s now, I mean, it’s like, I guess after it’s been used in enough places, government documents then yeah then it works there you go so that’s pretty huh that’s pretty interesting and uh also i had a couple of other things for actually you know what i should probably because i’m not going to get this headline in so we have ken shamrock who’s coming up uh i know he’s got that what wwe legends that he’s coming back with i read an interview with him where he was talking about why he never wanted to get into the ring with china and that was kind of like a contributing factor to him Exiting. Very interesting. You know, especially when boys are playing girls sports. Stick with us. It is a big week, and we’re not just talking about Inauguration Day.

SPEAKER 09 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you broadcasting from NSSF Shot Show. We come here every year. You all know the drill. It’s like the one time I’m out of my hobbit hole. And this is a great event to come to. I haven’t even seen hardly anything. I was just talking to my friend Ken Shamrock, the most dangerous man on God’s green earth. That’s not his official title. It’s the world’s most dangerous man. I think he’s like the universe’s most dangerous man. I have watched a number of his matches and he looks like so, you know, he’s so pleasant and so nice. Right now. I mean, totally not, you know, just so nice. And Ken joins us live here in Vegas at SHOT Show. And by the way, you guys are, people can watch the show, Channel 347, DirecTV. We’re at X, Facebook, all over and terrestrially. So welcome. It’s been a while. The last time I spoke with you, it was in Dallas and it was like seven or eight years ago. So it’s been a while. We’ve grown up. We’re big kids now.
SPEAKER 16 :
Is that real? Are we grown up?
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t know. Maybe not. I don’t know. I question sometimes. I see the way stuff goes down. I don’t want to grow up. I know, man. I’m telling you. So you’re at SHOT. You got in, I think, the same day that we did. And you come to SHOT Show a lot. I mean, you like the stuff here. I mean, you walk around. You kind of take it all in. You stay busy. Have you gotten to see anything yet this year?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, you know, usually when I come to these, I mean, I don’t have a specific thing I’m doing here other than when I’m coming in and doing something like I am this time. But, yeah, I’ve been able to browse around and look and see. And it’s just, for me, man, it’s just such a breath of fresh air to come here and see this thing grow. Yeah. See that we’re… We’re getting our rights, you know, that we’ve had for I don’t know how long, ever since man has been man, to be able to bear arms and the amendment. And it’s moving forward. And there for a minute, we didn’t know if that was going to happen. So it’s awesome to be here, see this thing flourishing and growing and seeing all the different designs and things that are coming out with the weapons and things like that. It’s just an awesome show.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, the weapons tech is, I love the progression in technology. And I love this industry because people don’t realize that, I mean, you do, but a lot of people don’t, that these are all mom and pop businesses that got really successful in various degrees. And I don’t know any other industry really that is like that.
SPEAKER 16 :
It seems like, you know, there’s the freedom to be able to kind of explore and take up different designs and start businesses, you know, and this is one of them where they can just literally, you know, say, hey, I’m going to do this and jump in and do it. But again, I want to go back to that part where it’s like, you know, six months ago, we weren’t even sure we were going to be able to bear arms. So it’s a refreshing thing to be here and see this thing growing.
SPEAKER 09 :
You seem, like, very satisfied and rested after November, Tuesday in November. A very certain Tuesday. You seem very happy.
SPEAKER 16 :
I think a lot of us were that way. Whereas, like, you know, it’s a major deal, you know? And for that to be something that we had to fear is just beyond me. I can’t even think of how that would even be possible.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s, I mean, I think we’re going to look back on the previous… term, the previous administration, I wonder what in the hell was going on. What was happening for those four years? I mean, we’re paying taxes out of the nose. For what? We’re getting involved in every international dispute. They can’t articulate any kind of American interest for it. I mean, every single thing that, every day it was something new. It was exhausting, tiring, it affected Americans’ moods. Now everyone, like you are so calm and happy right now. You’re actually, you’re almost like, you’re almost giddy.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s probably the closest to Giddy you’d be. Yeah, again, like I said, it is a good feeling to wake up and know that we’re on the right track. We have a great president that’s in there now. And it just feels like the sky’s the limit. And that’s really what I feel as opposed to six months ago where I felt like we were confused.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. We’re talking with our friend Ken Shamrock, the world’s most dangerous man. I mean, he is a UFC legend. He’s a WWE legend. We’re going to talk about some of that stuff. There was an interview that you gave, you know, speaking of, you know, where we were six months ago and how weird through these weird policies society has been made. You gave an interview and I thought it was so poignant. You were talking about your relationship with WWE and you and somehow like I guess China got brought up. And you were saying that you didn’t want to, you didn’t feel it was appropriate to get into the ring with her. And you were like, I got kids and they see this. And I thought that was incredibly, that was a really just, as a parent, I’m like, I get that. I get exactly what he’s saying right here. That makes sense. And also you’re an athlete and you understand just, you know, basic anatomy and physiology. Yeah. You’re like educated, unlike some of these people in HHS apparently.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, you know, and this was back when my kids were still in, you know, kindergarten and grade school. Yeah. And, you know, I was doing, obviously doing well in the WWF, just finished a career, you know, with UFC and over in Pancras becoming a world champion and, you know, the actual fighting. Then I went into pro wrestling and, you know, WWF and had some fun there. And it just, there was a time where I was asked to, get in and actually have a match with China. And now this is pro wrestling, right? So most people in their minds are thinking, Ken, come on, brother. It’s not real. It’s pro wrestling. You guys are going to go out there and do a script and tell a story. And, you know, it’s just what it is. And I looked at him and I said, I have kids at home. And there’s all these other kids out there that are watching me. They don’t know this is entertainment. Oh. and so for me to walk in there even though china is in tremendous shape and i give her all the respect in the world and i loved her and i felt bad on how things turned out with her i was not going to get in there and beat up a woman even though it may have been entertainment the rest of the world or half the world that are young kids do not know that right and so i took a stand and i basically said no i’m not i’m not going to do that Good for you.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s amazing because it’s just, I think a lot of people, because it’s a huge professional thing. I mean, it’s not like, you know, you make a move in that industry and everybody knows about it. So this, you know, it became some news and it made some headlines. But I also think it set a precedent because you look at what’s happening with sports. And one of the reasons why I think, you know, November went the way that it did, people are so tired of having to defend just like basic science and say, why can’t boys play on boys teams, girls play on girls teams? I’m just glad I don’t have a daughter. I have boys. I’m a boy mom. I can’t imagine raising a daughter in that kind of environment and having to defend her before she even gets on the court or on the field.
SPEAKER 16 :
And then it’s difficult for them to defend themselves because then they’re looked at as being weak. You know, like, well, what are you afraid of? It’s like, yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, kind of am, a little bit, yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
There’s a big difference between a man and a woman when it comes to the physical nature of sports.
SPEAKER 09 :
Do you think that point has been made with the last election? Do you think that maybe the people that have been pushing this in society, that they’ve gotten the message, is this going to stop? I mean, how long are we going to have to deal with this?
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t know if it’ll ever go away, but I don’t think we’re ever going to have to deal with it in the schools, or at least for the next four years, maybe even longer than that, if things go the way I hope they go. I don’t think we’ll have to deal with that in our schools. I do believe that we’re always going to have to deal with it in society.
SPEAKER 09 :
I can’t imagine being a principal and having to deal with this with the student body, and then forcing it on the student body, and then the parents… come in and one of the parents is Ken Shamrock. And Ken Shamrock comes in the principal’s office. That has like the opposite intended threat. Usually you’re scared if you go in the principal’s office. Ken Shamrock coming in the principal’s office is a whole different issue. But how does dad Ken deal with that? I have four girls, three boys.
SPEAKER 16 :
God love you. I just know this, that I haven’t had any serious issues. I wouldn’t imagine you would. Yeah, but I also think it’s the way that I’ve raised my kids and choices and decisions that they make. And that I’ve always instilled in them that no matter whether it’s a principal, a teacher, an adult, anywhere that you’re at, your voice matters. And that if you run into something, whether it’s you know, something that you have in faith or, you know, obviously, you know, gender and things of that nature, you have a right to speak up and to stand your ground on what you believe in. And so most of the time I’ve never had to really intervene. They’re very strong-minded women, thanks to my wife, because she’s definitely strong-minded.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I would have to imagine you’d have to have the female equivalent against Shamrock.
SPEAKER 16 :
She’s a strong woman, and it’s definitely been instilled in our daughters. So I haven’t really had a head-butted situation where I had to really get in and take care of it. We’ve had situations, but they’ve dealt with it.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s awesome. That’s awesome. Talking with our friend Ken Shamrock, who’s got a lot of stuff coming up, which I’m going to ask you about, because you’ve got the WWE Legends. You’ve got a lot of stuff coming out on your plate. Tell me. You’ve been busy.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, you know, it’s been exciting, even though I’ve kind of stepped away from actually getting inside the ring. Right. Kind of stepping in and doing other things, even outside the ring, trying to stay involved in something that I love, which was the combat industry. So there’s a couple things I got going. One of them is… We have an organization where we’ve actually done two fights so far. We’ve done in Florida and it’s true bare knuckle. And reason why I jumped into that was because I saw what was going on in mixed martial arts and you know, they put gloves on and you know, talk about safety. And the reality of it is I fought with gloves and no gloves. And I always felt like I took more damage with gloves on than I ever did with bare knuckle. I mean, I got lacerations or broken nose, maybe broken hand. but as far as the amount of punishment that I took on my brain I felt like I sustained so much more with the gloves on because guys were able to protect their hands not my head like they didn’t put gloves on to protect the head they put it on to protect the hand so that tells you something right there. Like, oh, I’m going to throw more punches. I’m going to hit this guy more often and I’m not going to hurt my hand. That makes sense. So I thought, you know, if I ever had the opportunity, I’m going to, you know, change that. And I’m going to go back to what I thought was pure and more real. And that was bare knuckle. And so we’ve done a couple of fights, been successful, got some great business partners. And we’re really at just the beginning of restructuring and building this thing and really making a move on the combat industry. And that’s one of them. And That right there kind of brings me to where we’ve actually met some other people that kind of align with what we were doing. Survivor Man, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but it’s on Pursuit Channel.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I’ve heard of Survivor Man.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s where we’re going. Mr. Man, Survivor Man, his last name’s actually Man, and he is a SEAL Team 6 guy. I mean, look him up. I mean, he is decorated. He’s amazing.
SPEAKER 09 :
He’s like Captain America.
SPEAKER 16 :
He’s a bad man. Dang, when you’re saying that. Yeah, he’s a bad man. I mean, I think I’m tough. That dude’s triple times tougher than me, man. I don’t want to mess with him. Wow. Wow. But this show is incredible because it is a lot aligned with how I used to train fighters. You know, where it was like push them to the limit, push them past what they think they’re capable of doing. This is what Survivorman does.
SPEAKER 09 :
I love that.
SPEAKER 16 :
So I’m like completely into this thing. I know we had actually met because I was playing golf up here with Blitnikoff’s tournament here. Where they do charity for battered women and children. So I’ve been doing that for about 20 years. And I met somebody there, Bronco, who actually introduced me to these guys that were doing this show. Because he felt like this was aligned right with you. And he’s right. And I saw a clip of it and I was like, oh man, I want to do this. So we ended up contacting him. kind of met everybody and started to meet some of the people mr. Mann and a few others and I’m just everything just seemed to line right up like this is exact Providence yeah it’s like bringing me back to old school and I’m like I didn’t think we could do this anymore I love that yeah bring back this macho
SPEAKER 09 :
you know where it’s not so corporatized and you have like real fighter skill where you got to kind of think outside the box because anything i mean i feel like especially when you’re talking about bare knuckle there’s just there’s a skill set i appreciate it i watch my husband is crazy into ufc i love i like the fighter story so i get another woman aspect of it like i i started following you and watching all your matches and i’m like i like mr shamrock he’s Such a nice man. Such a nice guy. But it is, it’s a total, it’s a different skill. Correct me if I’m wrong on that. It’s a different way of approaching hand-to-hand combat. It’s definitely, I think, like an elevated skill.
SPEAKER 16 :
It really is because if you’re not looking closely at it to how those things actually play out when it comes to the bare knuckle and actually having a glove on your hand, you don’t really notice it unless you’re in it. And the one thing that is the biggest difference between the glove and the hand is that it’s less power. You cannot be swinging for the fences or throwing hard punches because if you miss… my gosh your hand yeah and fights over right right so it’s really about more accuracy more footwork and and it and it also limits the amount of brain damage that you take over years and years of training because you’re not sparring as much you don’t have to it’s more about accuracy and speed and footwork so it really is and I think we’re at the actual beginning point of of, you know, when UFC came in, it was kind of this cult following, it was a small group of people, and then it went mainstream, and then all of a sudden everybody got to see it, and it was like, oh my goodness, this stuff is awesome. I think that’s where Bare Knuckle is right now, where it’s kind of got this following, but we really haven’t gone mainstream yet, but we gotta package it right, we gotta deliver it right, and then we’ve also gotta be able to put in the
SPEAKER 09 :
The actual stuff that we found over the past few years of the medical findings on this on how it’s safer That’s huge and not taking as much brain damage when you’re putting gloves on that’s that’s absolutely huge because that’s I never had honestly ever thought about that the presence of the glove and all of that so Ken Shamrock surviving man and then you also have the legends contract because you’re gonna be you’re gonna be coming back on with WWE as well and I mean, we’re running out of time. I would love to have you back anytime that you want to come on. Anytime you want to talk about anything, you know, you got an open mic here.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I really appreciate it, man. And yeah, right now things are awesome, man. I’m blessed. You know, I’ve had a great career and I’m not done.
SPEAKER 09 :
There you go. Where can people go and find everything that you’re up to and read more about Bare Knuckle?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, Chew Bare Knuckle, you can go to chewbareknuckle.com. And then, you know, Surviving Man is Pursuit Channel. I know there’s a few other places, but I can’t remember off the top of my head.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I’ve seen it advertised. Yeah. So, awesome.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s a great show. I’m going to be watching. If you really want a man’s sport, and for women, too. I don’t want to get beat up by my wife. Women love the drama of dudes in combat.
SPEAKER 09 :
They just they like the drama of like there’s some about it like when they go and when you know it’s like an athletic, skilled, artistic match. There’s a drama and a pageantry in it that I think is very appealing to women. we like it i don’t know well i think i i yeah and i i think she’s being modest i also think she likes it because they don’t have their shirts on either i would never say that i would never say such a thing mr shamrock all right we gotta get moving ken shamrock you can follow him on x at shamrock ken congratulations my friend on all your success and more success to come god bless you appreciate you and as we move our partners that don’t make it possible the folks over at super beats the super marine product which is now available at sam’s club There are a lot of people out there that are trying to act like they’re also Super Beats. And just let me tell you, I don’t care if they claim to be the number one selling, blah, blah, blah. They’re not. Super Beats actually hand over fist is the number one selling because it’s the real deal. They don’t just like pick whatever garden variety beet. and decide to, you know, make product out of it.

Caffeine is the most amazing adult nectar ever. All right. So first off, welcome Dana Lash with you. We are broadcasting from SHOT Show. So we are in Las Vegas and we’re broadcasting from SHOT Show. And this is. I don’t know how many we’ve done of these. We’ve done a lot of them. But we’ve had on, we had Donald Trump Jr. on yesterday. We had Ken Shamrock on a little bit ago. We’ve got Randy Couture coming up. Did I tell you I have really strong coffee? It’s amazing. I think it’s making my hair grow hair. It’s that good. So I am, I’ve actually had enough sleep, but I am so, I’m getting so over-caffeinated because I accidentally ate four of the Super-V tartews. I’m not even lying to you. I ate four of them and I’m about ready to shoot through the ceiling right now. On purpose.
SPEAKER 14 :
Accidentally.
SPEAKER 09 :
I was like, I need some energy today. But anyway, we’re here at SHOT Show broadcasting from the NSSF event. We’re talking about guns, and you don’t even have to like guns or have guns in order to appreciate the formula in which you can plug in a gun. The left loves to use them as a scapegoat to take your rights when they act like… Oh, it’s about saving lives. No, it’s not. It’s not about saving lives. It’s not about that at all. I also, we’ve been following, so POTUS, did you hear it came? POTUS is coming tomorrow.
SPEAKER 1 :
What?
SPEAKER 09 :
POTUS. He’s here? Mm-hmm. Nuh-uh. It is. I did not hear that. Can I just say how weird it is to, okay, I feel like, I don’t know how else to put it. Does it feel like a parent is back? So when you were a teenager and you would, when you’re a teenager, did you, you know, like maybe you got left home alone for a weekend. You were like a young teenager. Your parents went out for the day and you know, while it was fun, you know, you were staying at home by yourself. Then, you know, night came and you really wanted your parents to come home. You wanted somebody to make dinner. You wanted that security of having someone in charge, knowing that someone’s guiding the ship at home. It kind of feels like that now. Kane, doesn’t it feel like The parents are back?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. Remember when they told us in 2020, or 2021, the adults are back in charge? Yeah, I had the same.
SPEAKER 09 :
Wait, were those the adults that had, can I say tranny? Or is the woke mob going to come for me to give a double-barreled finger salute?
SPEAKER 14 :
You may want to have to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.
SPEAKER 09 :
Let’s do it in pig Latin so it’s less offensive.
SPEAKER 14 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
So do you remember when the ranny trays were on the, it’s less offensive if it’s in pig Latin.
SPEAKER 14 :
It is, and more funny.
SPEAKER 09 :
I am fluent in Pig Latin. I speak it fluently all my life. But it’s when the Ranny Tays, yeah, the Ranny Tays were on the lawn, I can’t remember which one, that’s unimportant, of the White House, and then one of them went topless and the other was like… On Easter. Well, I think it was the Pride thing, but it was Easter, you know what, you’re right, because it was Easter weekend. It was Easter. And that’s when they did the Pride thing on Easter weekend.
SPEAKER 14 :
So, the adults were back in charge. No, but you’re absolutely right.
SPEAKER 09 :
That was an adult thing.
SPEAKER 14 :
It feels like now, oh, this, it’s almost like we’re reminded what leadership looks like.
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t know what to do with the press conferences. I am so not used to this. For four years, I’m like, well, I guess I don’t have any work to do because our president’s not talking. And we just focus on Congress. And now Trump is on TV every damn day. And then he’s like, yeah, I got… and you know how some people do dollar dollar bills he’s like legislation legislation executive order executive order and it’s coming in so fast i love it but also i’m like damn potus take a second can’t even finish this draft take a second so I love it but he’s so anyway POTUS is gonna be at SHOT Show he spoke at SHOT Show one year and I was like I think you just won the nomination and he likes coming here he’s the president is not like he I know people get they get mad at him and look I I was right there y’all know where I was when the bump stock thing and he knows about firearms but he doesn’t know a lot about firearms and he doesn’t shoot he doesn’t hunt not saying that you have to have those things as a requirement to respect rights he does want people left alone and i think he understands the application of big government in one industry sets establishes a precedent to create it in another and so for that And he’s got his kids in his ear because Don and Eric hunt and they legitimately hunt. They’re not like Tim Walls who they go and get a shotgun. I mean, Don does his own reloads. They hunt all the time and they really, really agree with all of us on 2A issues. And so whenever he’s got, you know, a question. He’s got his kids that he can just immediately lean on. And they’re not going to let their dad ban the stuff that they like to do. You know, Don’s not going to let his dad, like, ban, you know, half of the firearms he has. I mean, they’re already… It’s so… I think that helps a lot. But he likes coming here because he likes the people. I mean, this is, I mean, I look like I’m dressed up, but I’m in jeans and boots, right? You know, everybody comes here. They’re chill. They’re relaxed. It’s casual. They’re looking at all the tech. They’re looking at all of the, you know, the progression of firearms over the years. They’re talking to the mom and pop businesses. It’s just a great experience. So, yeah, POTUS is coming here tomorrow. And again, it’s weird, dude. Like our president talks to people again. Make talking great again. Make press conferences great again.
SPEAKER 14 :
Make connection great again. Our last president had zero connection with the American people.
SPEAKER 09 :
Zero.
SPEAKER 14 :
And I think Donald Trump has just naturally that kind of a guy that likes to make this connection.
SPEAKER 09 :
I legit was laughing my backside off when he brought out, when they’re like, yeah, he was at that ball and he’s on stage and he goes, yeah, we’re going to sign some executive orders. Oh, right now. And then there’s the desk and they bring them all out and everyone was going, wait, what? what and you know that vince mcmahon level that meme where he’s like different levels of excitement like vince mcmahon oh i’m pleased by this news oh this is exciting what and then like you know his eyes turn red into red lasers people were freaking out over it and then they he narrated every that man opined on every single one of those executive orders there’s a 200 of them they were there all night then he went to the rest of the oval office it’s weird all right so We got a lot. We got Andrew Bailey’s going to be coming up. Do you guys want to hear, because I got more politics, but you want to hear a funny non-political story? I wasn’t going to talk about it, but one of my friends, Dark Storm Norm, who’s got the most beautiful, had the most beautiful Frenchie, and we both had brindles. He’s here. He’s a vet. You know, one of the sweetest guys. And they have a booth here at SHOT Show. And he had his Norm, his dog, his Frenchie. That dog had its own power wheels. That dog was, like, privileged. That dog had its own power wheels. It would drive around like the dog didn’t, but he would. And he lost his dog recently and he was there with a friend who has a Belgian Malinois. And you guys know we had, we got a rescue pup. So he’s like part Belgian Malinois and part Rhodesian Ridgeback. And I’m used to, I’ve had working breeds before, but that was, you know, when I was like 20. Or when I was a teenager. Different now when you’re like 40. It’s a lot different now to have to have a working break dog now. So Wick is not having a good time. He is with Nana. And Nana has been watching all kinds of dog videos. Nana and Wick watch videos, animal videos together, and she talks to him like he’s a person. She treats him like a grandchild. And he lost his mind and totally destroyed everything. Well, he totally destroyed the floor in our bedroom where he sleeps because he was mad at being put to bed. So we’re… I don’t know what to do. So anyway… Before we adopted Wick, I’m going to tell you this story, and then we’re going to get a meat and potatoes. I swear to you guys, you’re going to use this to make fun of me, and I’m going to let you have this because I’m in a good mood. I was driving. I was going to the tailor, right? I had to pick up a business jacket. Actually, I think it was the brown version of this one that I’m wearing right now. I had to go pick up this jacket, right, because the sleeves were a little long. I was getting a tailor. And I’m driving, right, and I see this mangy-looking gray dog, right? Now can I just preface this by saying animals in Missouri are a lot bigger than animals in Texas. Like whitetail are huge in Missouri. Here in Texas they’re like anemic. It’s weird. But you get what I’m saying. Like even the, all the wildlife is bigger up there. So I see this like mangy, like gray, dirty dog. I’m like, oh my gosh. that is a free pet you know and I’m pulling my car over and I get out of my car and I’m like walking to the dog I’m like I don’t have no snacks or nothing to lure I was like and the dog acted like it was going to come over to me and then it ran off and like I mean it got real close to me it was like three feet away and then it was like sniffing at me and then ran away And I was so upset. No sooner did I get home than Glenn Story, who owns Patriot Mobile, texts me because he lives in my neighborhood. He texts me and he’s like, did you see this? There is a coyote that is roaming the neighborhood. And I got a picture of it. It was and he sent me that it was that dog. It was that dog. I literally almost caught a coyote and took it home. Now, I say, I know what coyotes look like, yes, but they are so much smaller in Texas than they are in Missouri. It’s just weird. Animals are bigger up north. But I literally almost brought home a face-eating coyote. Can you imagine if I would have gotten that thing in my, like Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights with the puma in the back? Can you imagine if I would have got that damn coyote in my car, in my rig, and took that thing home? Oh my gosh. And I didn’t say anything at first. And I was like, yeah, I think I saw it. And Chris immediately knew. He immediately knew. He’s like, woman, did you try to take that damn dog home? He immediately knew because he looked at my face and he’s like, did you try to take it home? Do you want to hear one more funny story? I’m in a good mood. You want to hear one more? All right. So I got into a wreck over Christmas. I’m fine. It’s fine. It’s a long story. That’s not the point. The point is this. So I pull up, you know, we’re doing the post-accident stuff, and it was totally not my fault. We’re doing the post-accident stuff. And I called, you know, the police, the non-emergency number, and I called my husband. I was like, my husband is best compared to Rip from Yellowstone. And… In certain occasions, I can be Beth, right? Legitimately, shut up, Kane. Shut up. I’ve never seen you look so smug in your life. Not even talking to you right now. Why am I talking about this instead of meat and potatoes? What? I don’t know. Anyway, so… He knows me because I can be very aggressive and overpowering sometimes. So he gets there before the police do. He’s in his big old rig. He’s got giant tires. I can’t even get in and out of that thing without ladders and help. You know, I fell out of it in the Tom Thumb parking lot one time, just after church, going in to get some bread. I looked like a fool. Anyway, so, he pulls up immediately. Like, parks perfectly in one move. Swings the door open. And he comes around the corner of the car and he goes, you, over there. Because he knew immediately, my, he’s like, you, over there. Like, total rip. Like, I don’t have time for your crazy right now. And then I looked at his feet. He came. My husband, I don’t let my husband leave the house looking a mess because that’s not what proper wives do.
SPEAKER 14 :
This is an accident. This is an emergency situation just in his defense.
SPEAKER 09 :
Anyway, I look at his feet. He’s got on cherry red socks and camo Crocs. Camo Crocs. That is the thing that exists. And he wears them proudly after saying he would never wear such a shoe. And I forgot all about my accident. And I was like, what in the hell is on your feet? And he was like, woman, you call me saying that you got into an accident. I’m not going to be putting on fancy shoes. Look, can we focus on that? And I couldn’t get over it. I’m like, oh my gosh. I felt like a teenager. I’m like, what is on your feet? Like, why did you leave the house wearing red socks and camo Crocs? And he just stares at me. Then he goes, get over there. Handled it. Walked through the airport. Vegas. Going to the airport. Coming out here in those damn camo Crocs. I’m going to find them and set them on fire. Anyway, I thought you would all enjoy a little personal information. I may not ever do it again, because I’m just anticipating the amount… I hope the chat’s entertained. You guys will be entertained by that. I’m going to try to get a picture of the Crocs, but long story short, you know, he didn’t care. He was coming in clutch with them cherry red socks and camo Crocs. I can’t even deal. So, I… Yeah, tried to take home a coyote and all that stuff. Anyway, a friend of mine, there’s all kinds of service dogs that are here, too. You’ll have a lot of veterans at this event, SHOT Show in Vegas. And I know you don’t pet the service dogs because they’re working, but it takes everything I have because I feel like I’m Snow White, right? And animals talk to me, and butterflies will land on my arms, and birds will help put ribbons in my hair, and the mice will set out my slippers. I feel like I really could be that. And so I see the dogs and I’m like, pet? You know, in my head. And I’m like, no, Dana, you can’t pet them. That dog is a hard worker. Working nine to five. And then Dolly Parton comes in on my head, you know. Working nine to five. And I can’t pet them.
SPEAKER 14 :
All of that is normal.
SPEAKER 09 :
Takes everything I have.
SPEAKER 1 :
100%.
SPEAKER 09 :
When he told me I could pet his dog, I lost my mind. I was like… All right. We got a lot more on the way. We’ve got Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, literally the most wholesome man in politics. He’s doing so many things to along with a lot of other AGs and a lot of governors to make sure that these this agenda, this Trump agenda gets implemented.

We are here in Vegas broadcasting from SHOT Show. We got the Attorney General of Missouri hanging out as well. We’re going to be diving into a lot of these issues coming up with him in just minutes. The Austin home price per Newsweek has dropped 50%. Texas housing market has cooled. Maybe, maybe people are waiting to see, like, you know, you got some of these other blue state governors that are coming up for election. And I don’t know, maybe they think something’s going to change. Housing market, I mean… political cycle. It tends to cool at this time anyway. However, it’s very interesting. Jamie Dimon says U.S. stock market is kind of inflated. I’m not even going to I’m not even going to I’m going to rage if I address this story in any more depth beyond that headline. I mean, it’s true that all that’s going to change. Egg prices are soaring again. Man who lives on a cruise ship has spent 24 years at sea. I would not live on a cruise ship to save my life.

SPEAKER 05 :
My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion nonsense. And these are policies that were absolute nonsense throughout the government and the private sector. With the recent yet somewhat unexpected great Supreme Court decision just made, America will once again become a merit based country. You have to hear that word. Merit-based country. And I’ve made it official.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s been so long since I’ve heard a politician say merit. I mean, at least president. For the last four years, it hasn’t been meritocracy. That was President Donald Trump who says that he’s abolishing all the DEI nonsense. Effective immediately. Hallelujah. Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash with you. We’re here at SHOT Show NSSF, their industry event. And joining me right now from my home state, Missouri Attorney General, superstar in politics, Andrew Bailey. I know we need to get like a studio audience in here. We need to just like cram some people in the corner over there. It’s good to see you, General. Thanks for being here.
SPEAKER 13 :
so much for having me on. I really appreciate it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Of course. So this is not your first SHOT Show, is it?
SPEAKER 13 :
This is my first SHOT Show.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is your first SHOT Show.
SPEAKER 13 :
First one. It is incredible. I can’t believe I… It’s overwhelming. It is.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s in like three… You know it’s also in like Caesar’s Palace here and part of Harrah’s?
SPEAKER 13 :
I haven’t even made it over there yet, so I gotta go check that out. But yeah, I mean, I… I feel like I circle, and every time I go back through the same area, I see something new. And it just adds to my list of guns that I need.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, it’s a great, I mean, it’s a great place to go shopping. I mean, we’re here in the Kel-Tec booth, and I don’t know if you, they have a, not that I’m like, you know, promoting this, but they have a concealed carry 5.7.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, yeah, I mean, some of the Kel-Tec stuff is incredible.
SPEAKER 09 :
With a stripper clip instead of a mag. So all the people who like clips instead of mags, they made this gun for them. I mean, not really, but, you know, it works. There’s all kinds of really, there’s so many cool things here. One of the things I love about this, which I’m sure you’re seeing, and you know, because you know guns, is that this industry is so unique. Every single business here has a story. They all began as a mom and pop shop. And whenever the gun control lobby, like for instance, with all the Chicago stuff, which I know that they were, which I got to bring that up with you, going after like Glock in Chicago. And they forget that all of these companies started as mom and pop shops. They had different degrees of success. I don’t know any other industry that’s like that.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, no, you’re right. Especially as I look at my home state of Missouri, your home state, I mean, there are so many gun manufacturers.
SPEAKER 09 :
Black Rain Ordinance.
SPEAKER 13 :
Black Rain, Fiocchi Ammunition has a plan. Ozark, Lake City Ammo, Olin Winchester, up outside of Kansas City. I mean, there’s, you know, Bass Pro, obviously Johnny Morse is from, Southwest Missouri. You’ve just got this great confluence of the Second Amendment, freedom-loving Midwesterners in Missouri, outdoorsmen, you know, just it’s great and great industry and you’re right it employs working missouri families and protects our our right to keep and bear arms your first shot show you filed something very important today yeah that you just told us about when we’re getting ready to come here tell everybody what you did yeah daniel look this is a groundbreaking uh we are filing a petition for writ of certiorari at the united states supreme court today and it’s to protect missouri’s second amendment preservation act and it’s the first of its kind in the nation Our General Assembly, our people’s elected representatives passed a statute that basically codifies the anti-commandeering doctrine from the 10th Amendment and says we’re not going to let the federal government coerce the apparatus of state and local government into achieving unconstitutional gun restrictions. And the Biden Department of Justice sued the state of Missouri over it. And we’ve been defending it ever since I’ve been in office. My predecessor, Eric Schmidt, who’s now in the United States Senate, began that defense. We carried it on and we’re taking it all the way to the United States Supreme Court. It’s an interesting vehicle because you’ve seen jurisprudence on the Second Amendment from Heller and its progeny that identified the individual right to keep and bear arms, applied an appropriate interpretive methodology saying, you know, we’re going to look at the Second Amendment in a historical context, not some, you know, evolving… Yeah, all that garbage that undermines the rule of law. The words meant what they meant at the time they were written down or they have no meaning at all. And the Supreme Court acknowledged that in the subsequent decisions after Heller. But this is different because this is really as much about the Tenth Amendment as the Second Amendment. And, of course, the Tenth Amendment stands for the proposition that any authority not given to the federal government or denied to the states is enjoyed by the states and the people of the states. Do states still matter? That’s the question we’re putting before the court.
SPEAKER 09 :
Ooh. I love that. Do states still matter? We’re talking with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who’s really been at the tip of the spear on a lot of this, talking about Missouri’s Second Amendment Preservation Act, which was huge. I remember at the time that that was getting passed, there were some Republicans that were kind of iffy about it. Not every Republican’s the same, but I think people are learning, you know what, this is a formula that you can interject any variable into. Today it’s firearms, tomorrow it’s another freedom or it’s another right. I feel like people are waking up to that fact.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and after four years of the disaster that was the Biden-Harris administration, where they used the federal government to brainwash children in school and push a radical transgender ideology and prevent criminal prosecution of actual criminals and try to deprive us of our Second Amendment rights.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, let me ask you about it. So one of the first things that Trump did his first full day, he just obliterated the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. I had to remember the name. And that was tasked with implementing the bipartisan communities through the gun control bill. They were bragging about that bill, saying that state by state it helped reduce crime. I mean, that was like a whole separate post that Harris came out with. That’s not what you’ve seen as a top cop in Missouri.
SPEAKER 13 :
Not at all. In fact, the opposite is true. Biden’s Department of Justice administered grants that basically helped Soros-backed prosecutors not enforce the law, abuse their prosecutorial discretion to not go after criminals. That’s why there’s so much more crime, because we weren’t arresting and prosecuting criminals. It’s not legitimate gun owners that are the problem.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s the criminal, so let’s go after them. And I’m so happy to see President Trump in office and kind of reset the conversation on that stuff and restore a sense of logic and rule of law. At the end of the day, again, if we just agree that the words mean what they meant when they’re written down and we all play by the same rules, it’s a better society for everybody.
SPEAKER 09 :
works well for everybody it feels like somebody’s back in charge i know we were talking a little bit earlier about doge and i love the idea of doge because i always if he’s unleashing energy we talked about his energy plan the other day today he talked to the world economic forum said he’s going to be cutting taxes and he just socked it to everybody there which was amazing but then also cutting government spending which my one criticism other than tax cuts were not made permanent during his first term My one big, big, big criticism was that the government spending needed to be reduced more so Democrats couldn’t, say, justify increase in taxes as a way to offset it. With Doge, they’re already coming out with a number of things that they’re cutting. But I also am very aware that this has to go through Congress. And as I was telling you earlier, I’m really concerned about how gummed up that’s going to get. Because you know these lawmakers. I mean, if they can throw a wrench in it, they will. But you say this could be expedited.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I think so. I think we’re at a unique point in our constitutional history of the United States of America for a couple reasons. Number one, we are a government of limited federal authority diffused over three branches of government with checks and balances. The founding fathers are rolling over in their graves at the idea that there’s this unelected, unaccountable fourth branch of government, the administrative state. and so what happened in the last supreme court term was the supreme court overturned the chevron doctrine that granted deference to that administrative state’s interpretation of their own statutory authority no longer will article three federal courts uh give the jump ball to the uh bureaucratic apparatus and so you’ve got that happening you’ve got trump coming into office you’ve got four years of republican he’s like myself and my colleagues filing lawsuits to try to slash and burn and cut back on the growth of that administrative state. So it’s this confluence of events that could really turn the tide and once and for all restore the constitutional order and the separation of powers doctrine that maxes minus freedom. At the end of the day, it’s a zero-sum game.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
More government, less freedom.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. I love that. That’s such a simple answer to this, because I’m sitting there thinking, gosh, how are they going to how are they going to implement all of these cost suggestions from Doge? And it’s just going to get caught up in this committee and that committee. And, you know, some Republicans are better than others in the House. But that’s an excellent way. And that I mean, I would feel like they’re going to bring that pressure to bear on those lawmakers, especially from the White House.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I think so. And again, to put a finer point on it, if you get rid of the code of federal regulations, get rid of the rules, you don’t need the federal employees administering those rules. You don’t need the funding paying for those rear ends in the seats in those cubicles in those government buildings. I mean, it’s a brilliant and yet simplistic solution to the problem. And again, it’s the constitutionally right answer.
SPEAKER 09 :
How different, we’re talking with Missouri AG, Andrew Bailey, for those watching or listening across the country. This is kind of a funny question because I was, you know, I always joke, I’m like, Andrew Bailey waits and then he sues people because I have never seen anyone do as much as you do in your office. It’s very, I mean, we were talking about how with Trump, it’s like drinking from a fire hose. It’s kind of like that with what you do too. Like every day you’re like, I’m also going to sucker punch this person and I’m kneecapping this one. Is it, so you’ve had to be on offense. for such a long time what does this change in terms of how you’re approaching because i know you still got stuff to clean up from the biden administration how much easier is this now going to be for you and missourians and really you know because these ags pass you fight for stuff that sets precedent it helps all of us because now you know we’re in power what does that change
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I mean, let’s take the First Amendment for an example. Missouri v. Biden was about ending government censorship on big tech social media platforms. You and I have talked about that before on this show. And look what President Trump did on day one. One of his executive orders was to dismantle the apparatus of censorship, the vast censorship regime in the federal government. He’s ending that. So, like, what do we do now? Well, the lawsuit exposed it and gave him the target to then shoot at, which he did with that executive order. But that doesn’t stop big tech corporations. censorship and so we’re using consumer protection law. We proposed a rule that would require algorithmic choice from some of the major big tech corporations in order to empower consumers to choose the algorithms they want to maximize their content and by encouraging competition in the algorithmic marketplace, we will break up corporate censorship as well. And so it’s things like that. Look, the radical progressives that are going to be fleeing Washington, D.C. with Biden-Harris running with their tail between their legs, what’s going to happen is those radical progressives are going to end up in blue states and blue cities. And so we still have to stay on offense. It’s just adapting to the evolving battle.
SPEAKER 09 :
You mentioned tech and the algorithms because this has been one of the approaches to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act with trying to figure out how best to, without tearing everything down, I always think that if you’re editing your algorithms, that’s editorialization. I mean, just because it’s not words, we’re in a different era. That’s still editorialization.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, and the Supreme Court agreed with you in the Net Choice decision.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, well, look at that. SCOTUS agreed with me. I’m almost as smart as the Attorney General of Missouri. Look at me. Smarter, smarter. Look at that. But that’s, did it, knowing that, I was trying to figure out how to feel when I saw all the tech titans at the inauguration. Because on one hand, I’m still mad at some of them. On the other hand, if they’re motivated by trying to stay in the good graces of the administration, as long as I know your currency and what motivates you, then I know how to respond to that. What are your thoughts on that? Is that a promising thing, or are they just being exploitative, like, we’ll do this if a Democrat wins in 2018?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, look, I mean, we’ve got to close the door behind us, right? I mean, we’ve suffered, conservative voices have suffered corporate censorship, government censorship for too long. We can’t go back to that world. This is a strategic objective in order to save the United States of America, and that’s why it’s too important to let go. What Zuckerberg did is a step in the right direction, but remember, all he said was that, hey, look, We’re going to change and let users choose more content as it relates to gender ideology and immigration. Well, that’s great, Mark. Thanks. Those are 80-20 issues. The rest of America, beyond conservative movements, the rest of America is with him on that. But what about pro-life? What about 2A? What about those issues? Notice he didn’t comment on those. So I don’t think it goes far enough. I think that’s why things like encouraging competition in the algorithm marketplace and using our state’s consumer protection law to mandate algorithmic choice, again, it protects consumers, it breaks up the monopoly, and it maximizes freedom of speech.
SPEAKER 09 :
You do such a good job of representing my home state. My whole family just loves you. My folks always watch you on Fox, whenever you show up on Fox. And then they were calling me like I knew. They were like, well, we hear that Attorney General Bailey’s been going down to Mar-a-Lago. Trump’s not going to poach our Attorney General. And they started getting pretty sassy about it. You didn’t get poached because you made a decision to stay in Missouri. That’s all I’m going to say. But you had a lot of people that did not want to let you go. They were going to put up a fight. So I just had to tell you that.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, I appreciate your family. I appreciate the support of people across the state of Missouri. And, you know, at the end of the day, I’m excited about the Trump administration. He’s got some great folks coming in and these cabinet level positions top to bottom. And he’s got a vision. And you think about the Trump’s first term and how the deep state tried to stymie his forward progress. And he’s clearly not maneuvering. Yeah, he’s absolutely outflanked them. And things are already, you know, in just a few days moving in such a better direction. I feel the energy. You feel it here on the floor of SHOT Show.
SPEAKER 09 :
Everybody’s calm and happy.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
They’ve been crabby lately.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s really cool. So it’s a great opportunity for me to serve the people of the state of Missouri.
SPEAKER 09 :

SPEAKER 12 :
Did God bless the United States of America? Pastor Alan Jackson says yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
I believe God has blessed this nation, that he’s called it into existence. It isn’t perfect. There’s no such thing as perfect. We continue as we lean towards the Lord to make improvements. There is no greater expression of liberty and freedom amongst civilized human beings than we’ve seen from our own nation in the last 250 years. As imperfect as it may be, that’s true.

Well, this one truck driver was very excited about the snow, and so he thought, you know, I get it. He’s like, why not do donuts? But you’re in a truck, and he crashed in Walton County, Florida, And this is now made it to where Florida Department of Transportation come out and they have to go, guys, we know you’re very excited about the snow. Let’s not be taking our big rigs out there and be doing donuts out in it. All right. Is it probably melted already anyway? But he’s OK. Deputies responded to the crash. It got reported in.

SPEAKER 14 :
We need to clear this up. Not all old people are innocent. Stop what you’re doing. Not all old people are innocent. And this is an example of one of those not all old people.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, he’s 73 years old. He was naked. Sorry, I’m doing the Ozark pronunciation. N-E-K-K-I-D. Naked. That sounds dumb to say. Doesn’t it? Naked. That sounds so weird. He said that he was literally walking around the park in his neighborhood. Buck naked. And when police arrived, because obviously everyone and their brother called the police, he said, he said, well, there are new parks here. There’s new beaches here because there are new beaches in Florida. And they’re like, sir, you’re not at the beach.

SPEAKER 05 :
Finally, as we restore common sense in America, we’re moving quickly to bring back strength and peace and stability abroad. I’m also going to ask all NATO nations to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, which is what it should have been years ago.
SPEAKER 09 :
boom i love it i so i was this morning first off welcome back dana lash with you you can listen across the country coast to coast on a market near you terrestrially uh also we have channel 347 direct tv the chats at rumble uh they’re usually rowdy and the best of ways over there uh and then also x YouTube. Geez, I don’t even remember anymore. I just had like a brain fart. Like what? We’re everywhere. Anyway, welcome back. Dana Lash. We’re broadcasting from Vegas at SHOT Show, which is the annual event. I love coming here. Yes, because I shop. And yes, also because I love this community. I love the brains in this community. I love the… Some of the best all-American stories are in this community. These are mom-and-pop shops that have all various degrees of success. And it’s just part of the American fabric. This is Juan’s first SHOT Show. Juan is… God love him. He’s going to be so tired when he goes back home. And he hasn’t even hardly seen anything.
SPEAKER 14 :
He’s tired now.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is his very first SHOT Show. So he’s not used to this overwhelming, like, it’s very poorly organized chaos. But we love it. So I was in my room getting ready to come down to the floor. And I’m brushing my hair. And I’m watching Trump address the World Economic Forum. And the thing that struck me, and Cain, tell me if you agree with us. I feel like this is his don’t G-A-F era. I feel like his first term… He still I felt like he was being careful or maybe he was being advised. I think he’s got a way better team of advisors this time around. I think he is infinitely more disciplined this time around. And I think he does not GAF.
SPEAKER 14 :
And here’s what I think. I agree with you on that assessment, but I think it’s actually that he gives.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, he doesn’t care about how they’re going to. So what he said in front of the World Economic Forum, I’m brushing my hair. I almost dropped my brush because he stopped for a moment and looked the room. He’s speaking remotely, but he’s doing this all for a fact. And he stops and he looks around. He goes, some of you haven’t been so nice to us. And I fell out. I thought I’ve never. I like being defended, right? I want to feel like someone is sticking up for my interests. I mean, I don’t care how selfish it sounds. That’s why you all vote. You all vote because you wanted to help you. Come on. Yes, in the country.
SPEAKER 14 :
But our interests aren’t really selfish.
SPEAKER 09 :
Our interests are the country’s interests. So they’re one and the same. But he’s out there. He tells them this. Audio sound by 19. Listen to this. This is great.
SPEAKER 05 :
nato by nato also from the forum this morning go ahead steve finally as we restore common sense in america we’re moving quickly to bring back strength and peace and stability abroad i’m also going to ask all nato nations to increase defense spending to five percent of gdp which is what it should have been a second there because
SPEAKER 09 :
They were only… Some of them were only making 3%. And I know I’ve talked about this before, but can you… In your mind, I want you all to go back. I think it was… Was it 2017? And wasn’t it like a G… one of the g meetings over in europe all i remember is that he was there with uh it was true you had trudeau you had the uh prime minister of japan uh you had angela merkel uh you i don’t think maloney was there yet but he maybe she was he was sitting at the table with his arms crossed and merkel was leaning over and she looked like a mad hot mess he That came after he had made comments, that photo, to give you context. That came after he said, NATO, these European countries need to start pulling their weight in terms of NATO. Because the United States cannot make up financially and with resource the shortfall of them not paying. This is for your own defense. And Merkel was livid. And there were reports that Trump’s aides and Merkel’s aides kind of were like, but, you know, he didn’t back down from it and he reiterated it again. And so then it came out. Kane, who is the the A.I.? I put this in here because his name just slipped my mind. He’s Masayoshi-san. Masayoshi-san had been talking about… This is about the investments, right? With AI, etc. Remember, at first it was going to be a $100 billion investment, and then Trump’s like, make it two. And then, now it’s like almost $500 billion. It’s almost a $500 billion investment. Look, I know that people… in the past and, you know, maybe even with some stuff now are torn on some of the stuff that Trump does, but his best, he is at his best when he walks in a room with these leaders and he’s like, you’re going to give me what I want because he is very old school and they have not come up in that crucible. And part of that, there’s so much psychology that’s in this and it fascinates me. He is some like some people were saying oh he was just brutish and the way that he was talking with markle no he wasn’t he’s been a leader that’s what leaders are supposed to do leaders don’t give a rat’s ass whether or not french citizens are going to be upset with the policy that best benefits americans and i want a leader like that i wanted jackass that’s going to go in there and is going to stick the boot up the backside of some of these weak leaders why should you have to work three months out of your life for your salary to have that taken and go towards, oh, I don’t know, shoring up Germany’s defenses. When they can take a percentage of their own GDP to spend on their own self-defense, why do you have to shoulder that burden? That’s the point he was making. Cain, you were watching some of it. What was the clip that you said that you liked, or the soundbite that you heard?
SPEAKER 14 :
When he was talking to Davos?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, he was talking about their anti-human agenda. It’s over. And he’s like, you know, he just continues and talks about the dismantling of the quote-unquote terrible Obama-Biden regime agenda. He was, I mean, the looks on these people’s faces were like, what is happening?
SPEAKER 09 :
I wish that, because he seems to be having a lot of great success with this, now the success for finalizing his cabinet needs to be done. So, forgive me, because I’m pulling up. I don’t have my four and a half foot game screen. Isn’t, from what I saw, isn’t Murkowski… Because we got a judge that’s blocking right now temporarily his order that ends constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship, which there is none. That’s so poorly misunderstood. We’re going to talk about that. But also, I think it was, I’m going to pull this up. I think we had Lisa Murkowski who was saying that she’s still not sold on Hegseth. Is that what I’m reading correctly? Yes. because he’s facing some and i knew he was going to this this he was going to be the most he and tulsi gabbard are going to be the most difficult ones but i think particularly him because it’s sec def uh because it’s the pentagon because it’s dod because you’re dealing with this you know decades of entrenched bureaucracy and um so to that point this I think that they need to get these cabinet members solidified. This has got to get done. We can’t waste time on this. You know, he made his pick. Do it. Just get it done. Because we have got to keep this exact same pressure on going all the way through until summer. Otherwise, if they start throwing these hiccups like this, and this is one of the reasons why they were moving so fast, if they keep throwing these hiccups like this, all this is going to start slowing down. And it’s going to give the left time to maneuver. So far, he’s outmaneuvering them. uh… but if we keep running up against roblox like the c you know that’s that’s going to be a problem now the cabinet i think it’s very important i he we gotta get the cabinet done i mean there’s a lot of things you know we that we have to have the cabinet in place in order to fully implement so we got rubio uh… he got a unanimous vote ninety nine oh ninety nine oh he’s a former senator you know what that speak you know what that is indicative of his skills of diplomacy. I don’t agree with Rubio on everything. And I, you know, when we were on stage at Parkland and he, you know, had crumbled about the red flag law and that, one of the things I will say positive about him, and I think he’s mad at me forever because I criticize that, but can I offer a positive nugget? He knew how to be diplomatic and he knew how to handle different factions. And I think that’s really important when you’re going for Secretary of State. That is the kind of person that you want in that role. Because you can let Trump be the heavy. And then you have bad cop, good cop. And I think that’s a great formulation. But we’ve got to get everybody else done. I think what we’ve got, we’re still waiting for Burgum’s Department of the Interior nomination. We’ve still got to wait for that. We still have Lee Zeldin for EPA. We’ve got Chris Wright, Energy Secretary nomination. I think, isn’t Burgum supposed to be, I think that might happen today. uh… that that’s one of the cabinets that i think i might happen i think i might have a day uh… yeah and and lorraine confirms she found the tweet i could not find god love you uh… she at least a murkowski is a no she has a big old post that she wrote on acts she says she does not make the decision lately uh… she says that she has gathered all this feedback she’s not with him it’s a trade sector up And it comes back to women in combat. That’s honestly what I’m seeing. Although he is, she says, quote, although he has recently revised his statements on women in combat, he didn’t. She says, I remain concerned about what message that confirming him sends to women. Shut the hell up and just vote for the damn nominee. This is what makes me mad. We’re going to hold this up because you’re trying to pander to women. Do you know what helps women? A strong military. Do you know what helps women? Strong men and a strong military. Do you know what helps women? Strong leaders who are working with strong men to make a strong military. He did not revise anything. He said, yes, you can have combat pilots. That’s great. We have tons of those women. Love what they do. God love them. And they can do that role. What he’s specifically talking about for these Skeksis that want to misinterpret it purposely for a malicious narrative, he’s talking about women being on teams and kicking doors in. No woman has any business doing any of that. And if you’re a big birther type of girl and you think you can, God love you, sister, but you’re an exception. You ain’t the rule. Let’s be realistic. Because you know what this is? This is more woke garbage. It is more woke garbage that’s in this. So just make the damn vote, Lisa. I’m so tired of this stuff. So tired of it. And I get really passionate about this. I got military age males in my family. And that’s all I’m going to say about that for that particular moment. But I I’m really been watching this almost more closely than just about anything else. And for her to hang it up on that. If you think that he revised his statement, you didn’t listen to his statement in the first place. You didn’t. He was very, very clear. You can have complaints about Hegseth all you want. One of the things you can’t do is make up stuff that he said. I hate that. That he was specifically talking about women like being deployed on teams, strike teams and going in and being literally right there with the dudes hand to hand. I have tons of female veterans who are friends and in my own family, and they all agree with that. A thousand percent. I have not met a woman who has served who does not agree with that. She’s like, and I know women who served in combat as pilots, as helicopter pilots. And they’re real good. Women are great pilots. There’s a role for that. But on the ground, with the other dudes, that’s a whole different story. But the media thinks you’re stupid. They think you’re a bunch of dumbasses. And they’re going to try to conflate it so that you think that he’s being sexist and talking about all women. And I’m so tired of this stupid nonsense. If it’s not the stupid Nazi stuff, then it’s this. I get so tired of it. He’s been very clear. You either vote and confirm it or get your ass out of the seat so we can find someone who will represent the people adequately and do what needs to be done. Aggravating. Now, I know we got a lot more on the way. Now I’m mad. I was in a great mood. Now I’m mad. I need. Thanks, Lisa. Don’t be a Lisa.

SPEAKER 14 :
And now all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s quick five.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right. Welcome back. Broadcasting here from Vegas. And we got some quick headlines for you. So, you know, like these machines like Peloton and the NordicTrack and all of this, apparently they are harvesting your data and sharing it. So your private data, this is one of the other reasons I hate all that kind of stuff, your sensitive information, and a lot of people bought these over lockdown. Consumer Reports is saying that they’re harvesting your sensitive information, your basic data, your height, beyond your height and age. They’re collecting information like your dietary habits, your pregnancy status, all kinds of stuff. Bowflex too. They found, Consumer Reports found that Bowflex’s privacy contract allows them to even check olfactory data or the user’s smell. How is that even possible? That’s super creepy. So they said that Consumer Reports did add the caveat. They’re unclear if it’s actually happening, but it’s happening. They’re taking the stuff. So all kinds of very interesting things. I’m going to skip that next one. That’s not. No, no. A woman chases another woman with an axe. In Washington, Percival Creek, Olympia. I mean, I don’t know if this is like road rage gone wrong, but she went after a 26-year-old woman who was arrested Saturday. Last Saturday, she picked up an axe and chased another woman, according to the Olympia police. She was booked on suspicion of first-degree robbery while armed with a deadly weapon, Thurston County Jail. They were in a dispute over a hip pack. And then the acts got involved. Ladies, there’s enough hit packs to go around for everybody. I’m just saying, you don’t need to be that upset. Come on, come on. This, apparently in Manila, Coffins on the road really messed up traffic. That tends to happen when you’re like, you know, doing something. Yeah, that tends to happen. Coffins fall out everywhere and they gum up traffic. This was in Philippines that they had coffins fall out on their expressway and it took a little bit. This one guy, a witness, motorist Noel Luardo, says he witnessed it. He was driving home with his family and he saw the coffins fall out of the back of this truck on the road. You know what I’m very sad about is they didn’t say whether or not there were bodies in there. Our friend Taryn Butler, Gun Fu, up next from Shot.

SPEAKER 04 :
Brighten up your timely news consumption with a Dana Show podcast, where every update comes with a little dash of Not So Serious on YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
SPEAKER 09 :
Welcome back to the program. Dana Lash here with you, broadcasting from Las Vegas. We’re at SHOT Show, NSSF, their annual event. And my very good friend, Taryn Butler, sitting right here with me. And we’ve been talking all kinds of smack about stuff going on in L.A. We’re going to get into what’s in this fun, magical box.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
And all the fun stuff you’re doing. But you’re safe, though, because I know you’re kind of close to where all that’s been happening.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yesterday got the closest.
SPEAKER 09 :
When you say got the closest, what does that mean?
SPEAKER 08 :
Like you could see the smoke? It was in Ventura County. It was a mountain area. That’s like 40 minutes for me. Then another one was closer where I used to shoot competitions. But our firefighters out there kick butt and they’re knocking it back pretty good.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, because that’s the last thing you want to have is a wildfire approaching your facility and your area because that’s a whole other set of issues.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, my CEO Chris Perez had to leave last night, bail out of the hotel. It was right by his place. Sent me a picture of the backyard. It was like five miles away. It was crazy. But this morning, he’s good. I said, get those sprinklers on your roof. You can never be more prepared for fires.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ve been through eight fires now. I had one in 2004 burn everything down except the house. 2007, we had an internal fire, a bunch of video game stuff. That burned half it down, and I can’t build it back. Because the regulations are insane, so I can’t live on my property anymore, as of now, until I figure out some way to get around all these, so many things I want done. And then 2019 was the worst one. That burned, like, I had my whole life of ammo in these 40-foot containers and Glock mags and all the good stuff. Oh, my gosh. It was blowing up. going crazy. I had to just use fire extinguishers. You can’t have enough fire extinguishers or hoses. Look, firefighters are great, but you can’t rely on them. You’ve got to have your stuff together. And it was nuts. I had to get fire extinguishers and just run back and forth to save the house. It was on fire underneath. Holy cow. And my cat Tinker Boy was still in there under powder poof. So I put this jacket on and the container is facing the house so the bullets are coming out and hitting the wall. And when they hit me, they didn’t hurt super bad, but it had this old dopey jacket that protected me. Oh my gosh. But one actually went through the wall. I don’t know how it did that. That’s insane. But I was just doing drive-bys and saved the house.
SPEAKER 09 :
So, for people who are, anybody who’s watched the show for, you know, any amount of time, and we’re on hundreds of markets across the country, we got, you know, the live stream as well, Channel 347, DirecTV. So, Taryn is like, you’re, I think, the greatest gun-fu, the greatest shooter in the world. That’s accurate. That’s accurate.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ve done good stuff. I’m super good at hip shooting, instinctive shooting.
SPEAKER 09 :
You have like so many disciplines where you’re like a master. You’re like a legit grandmaster. You have so many disciplines.
SPEAKER 08 :
I recently became the first ever nine time grandmaster. So that was super cool. I’ve been around a long time and I just got there just in time for anybody else about a year before anybody else with a limited optics division, which was a new division that came out. And I love the shooting sports. It’s action. It’s fun. It’s not just sitting there for half an hour shooting one shot. It’s based in like a real… It’s dynamic. It’s an over-the-top shootout. It’s like a John Wick shootout, which isn’t realistic. But if you could do that kind of shootout, you could do a real shootout.
SPEAKER 09 :
Exactly. And that’s what Taron does. So Taron is, he is the go-to guy in Hollywood for, if you’re watching a film and it looks like they know what they’re doing, it’s because they train with Taron. So he did all the John Wick stuff. You did Lioness too, didn’t you? You did Lioness.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
You’ve done so many things. You’re also doing this new, or you were working with Austin Butler for this movie coming out.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, Austin’s a total natural. Really good. Really good.
SPEAKER 09 :
You said Lewis Hamilton was the best person that you’ve ever trained.
SPEAKER 08 :
Most gifted, but doesn’t want to do it like all the time. Right. It’s a guy that just naturally just, it just naturally can. Yeah. But other guys that really like it get super good. Like, Henry Cavill’s really super good.
SPEAKER 09 :
I can imagine that Henry Cavill would be really good.
SPEAKER 08 :
Never shot before. He’s phenomenal.
SPEAKER 09 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 08 :
Unbelievable. I’ll show you a video later. And also, Chris Hemsworth came out years ago for Red Dawn. Way back. Tall, skinny kid. Oh, I may just become an actor now. I’ll drive my little CRX Honda Code, you know.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s actually really good.
SPEAKER 08 :
And he’s like, I’ll be a big star someday. I’m going to think about this movie called Thor coming out. It’s going to be awesome. And then, this is like 15 years later, he comes out with his son. And his son, Tristan, is just amazing. Ten years old. That’s awesome. And Chris is just total natural. We even did double gun, which I don’t do that that often. Let’s do it, mate. Come on. Who cares? Let’s do it. Like, really? It’s not really broken. He’s like… That’s awesome. He’s a natural, too.
SPEAKER 09 :
And you just worked with him, too, you told me a couple days ago.
SPEAKER 08 :
He’s such a wonderful guy. Just amazing. Like Keanu. Just super nice, respectful, self-deprecating, fun guy. Wonderful guy.
SPEAKER 09 :
When you’re approaching… how you’re going to work out these scenes in these movies. What does that approach look like? Because you’re working with the director, you’re working with the actor, but it very much is in some ways like a kind of choreography.
SPEAKER 08 :
Usually it’s like I ask them what guns they’re going to use. Like recently there was an actress coming out, she’s going to shoot a saw machine gun. and they want to pay for a ton of training, I’m like, what are we going to do with that, right? So Gary tours ISS, we have a saw, a blank gun, and basically it’s a sit down racket, after that I’m like, we’ve got all these hours, let’s teach you to do other stuff, because it’s completely, what are you going to do? It’s like, here’s your scene, open an iPhone up, okay? We’ve been training for six months, okay? So we did that, but usually I find out what’s it about, and I always like to add a little more, like if they’re like, it’s just a rifle scene, They’ll get that down, but I want them to learn pistol. You can do another movie, right? You’re a big movie star, so let’s get your pistol reloads figured out. We’re not doing dorky stuff and cup and saucer and all that stuff. It’s hard in Hollywood. You could do the movie and they could still edit and mess stuff up a little bit. Editors don’t really know weapons or whatever. A couple movies have been messed up for me a little bit, pissed me off, but it is what it is. I do the best I can, and 90% of it’s come out really good. I’m happy with how it comes out on screen. Clearly, John Wick, Hallie, everybody was amazing. And a bunch of other films. He just did a back in action, trained the crap out of Cameron Diaz. She’s super good. Oh, that’s amazing. She’s so fun. Again, she’s exactly who you think she is.
SPEAKER 09 :
She’s like America’s sweetheart. She seems like the nicest person ever.
SPEAKER 08 :
She’s wonderful. Everything, like health to Tetiana. all the things you know just know so much knowledge and they hit it off they’re like BFFs and train together like crazy and then in the end the movie doesn’t have much action it’s just a bunch of random stunt guys getting shredded down a hallway but it looks but when she’s doing it it looks real and you make it look attractive like these scenes it looks attractive and it looks accessible and it ends up being so good that you watch it and you’re like I could do that And what I liked in this movie with her and Jamie is that she’s tall. She’s like 5’10”, 5’11”. She really throws some power into knocking down the bad guys and stuff. And Jamie’s just so much fun to come out. He’s just charismatic and surreal. And he’s so cool because he’ll sit down with you and talk to you for like an hour and a half about your life. Like, you want to know everything about me? Really? You want to know about me, this stupid shooter guy? He’s like, I want to know it all, man. And just, we talked forever. It was funny because we were on set in England. and it was a 25 years to the date of when they did Any Given Sunday together, and it just happened Saturday Night Live was on, that old one, it was an old repeat, you know, and Jamie’s on there with Cameron Diaz, she’s in the audience, all this stuff, and we’re in England, and I go, hey, what do you think’s doing, Super Bowl’s coming up, a Super Bowl party. He throws us this crazy, raging Super Bowl party, you know, with all his friends, everybody, and that’s where he sat us on the couch to ask Tetiana all about her life, her career, me, with all these other guys running around, let’s go party, man. And he’s like, I don’t have time for that shit. Sorry. And just, it was a wonderful guy. That’s awesome.
SPEAKER 09 :
Super fun. He seems like very down to earth. And that makes, also, I think it makes the training easier. And it really translates beautifully on screen. We’re talking to our friend Taryn Butler, who’s also, he’s got great stuff with Canik. You’ve been doing so much. There’s a new series that I knew you were working on. I saw the trailer and I was like… Taron Butler did that. It’s ballerina. It’s the John Wick world. And this is centered on, so when he goes into his Russian family and they’ve got all the women on stage doing ballet.
SPEAKER 07 :
The Russaroma and everybody. Exactly.
SPEAKER 09 :
Then that’s that story that takes off. Because I always wondered how that was going to play in. I thought that was featured too prominently to just be left.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
So you’re doing that series, which I am stoked about.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s set, so people understand, it’s set between John Wick 3 and 4. Okay. So in John Wick 4, he’s dead, we don’t know if he’s dead, the lions get to decide if they need money, he’s not dead, you know, Keanu’s knees are bent, you know, all that stuff, you know. It can happen, it can not happen, it’s up to Keanu, if he wants to do it. If you do it, it’s going to make billions, right, whatever. So it’s set between there, so when Keanu, when you watch the part with Angelica Huston walking downstairs like, we did all this for the puppy, it just wasn’t a puppy, you know.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, they have Anna on the staircase there watching them come down. They have that scene. Basically, it’s set during that era. And obviously, Keanu comes in to help her deal with a bunch of crazy people. And she has, we built the custom gun for her character.
SPEAKER 09 :
I want to do what you do. This is a beautiful.
SPEAKER 08 :
This is the gun we built for Ballerina.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh my gosh, look at this. This is beautiful. Taron Tactical.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s the Combat Master X. It’s got the twin jet compensator on it. It’s a 24 round 9mm, in the movie it’s 9mm Magnum, so if you look at the barrel it says 9mm Magnum on there, which is a real round made in Vegas here by a company.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is a beautiful gun. You make, you make really beautiful stuff. I love the grips on this too, because you incorporate. So the stuff that you do when you’re with your competition shooting, when you’re customizing, especially stuff for film, you’re adding those elements into those guns for, I mean, and it, and it works at translate beauty. It looks great on screen. So you’re incorporating all of that into what they’re shooting. So she has, and this is what you would, I mean, if you were going into competition, you would have these like exact same features.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. Very similar. Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, this is beautiful.
SPEAKER 08 :
And the director wanted a compensator on the gun, so we built, made this comp for the movie. It’s, uh, it’s got a very, like, you know, you want a comp to look good. There’s a lot of comps out there. Yeah, yeah. It looks like a boxing in the end of his pole. She just wanted to blend in nice and look, and just look good. Like, guns gotta look good. You can’t sell a beautiful Ferrari.
SPEAKER 09 :
Gun has to be beautiful, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, yeah. Then we have another gun here.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, excellent.
SPEAKER 08 :
Coming out in the movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
In case you guys didn’t see this. This beautiful piece right here. Here we go.
SPEAKER 14 :
Just so people know, anybody watching the stream, we had to pull the video out because on the first, the stream, they can’t show.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, that’s all right. That’s all right. We’re still doing it on the… Can’t show guns, which is sad. This is beautiful. Look at this. Wow.
SPEAKER 08 :
So this… So that’s the Viper. That’s a 5.4-inch barrel, 5.5-inch, so half-inch shorter than the Pit Viper. It’s got a sight tracker barrel on it. Front sight doesn’t move when you shoot it like a typical gun. It’s got the new Trijicon HD on there. It’s a great optic. Nobody can get them. It’s like impossible.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I was like, that’s a beauty.
SPEAKER 08 :
Instead of 17 rounds like your typical 2011 mag, we took a year to make this mag, better springs, better follower design, 20 rounds. Yeah. You know, instead of 17. And the spring doesn’t, you know, take, you know, go super weak in like six months. Yeah. Yeah. And try the trigger.
SPEAKER 07 :
Nice.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh my gosh. That was, that’s like butter. This is beautiful.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is beautiful.
SPEAKER 08 :
And that’ll be in a movie coming out soon too.
SPEAKER 09 :
And so, so this is going to be, this will be available.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m not going to tell you when it’ll be the same.
SPEAKER 09 :
You’ll figure it out though. It rhymes with Schmalerina. Right. Maybe. I didn’t say. I don’t know. This is gorgeous. This is a beautiful gun.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. So these two are, they’re pretty awesome. So.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. I was, actually when I was at our range. I can remember when we were at the range, we were shooting up stuff, and I can’t remember what we were doing, but I saw you had a whole display, a Texas gun experience. You had a nice display there.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, so we were like, oh, there’s Terran stuff. I almost sent you a picture. It’s like, oh, here’s all your stuff. It’s a very nice display. So you’ve got Ballerina coming out, and you’re rebuilding. I want to go back to that with the fires real quick, because does that change production for you? Like, how does that…
SPEAKER 08 :
I mean, I know they were talking about… The fire in 2019 burned the entire range, like melted all the props and all these dumb rubber dummies out there. There were literally nothing left but the metal stands. And the whole kill house is burned to the ground. You’ve seen these Keanu videos back in the past. Wiped it all out. It was kind of a clean slate, you know, to build a nicer range. But it sucks to see all your stuff burned. Especially the ammo. The ammo was blowing out like crazy. And that ammo, then I go to call Black Hills. The price now, for $200 a thousand, for $253 now, my price is like, for that kind of special match tip, it was amazing stuff. Like VMAX and Burger Bullets was like $1,000 a thousand now. I’m like, dang it. Oh my gosh. I can’t replace any of it. No, you can’t. Holy cow. I had these special Triton rounds they made. They don’t make any more. They’re a 45 turns into duplex rounds. And it just blew out. And the fire wouldn’t stop. It took a day and a half. I’d actually get a Benelli. I only had to save blue holes in the wall of the connex so the firefighters could crank a hole in the back because it was so far in the back. Because I saved the first thing. I thought I was a hero. I saved the house with the stupid fire extinguishers. I’m like, how does the connex catch on fire? It’s a big metal thing. The wooden building’s not burning, but the connex. It’s all the little leaves up there with all the birds and stuff. So I run down this 40-foot connex and I start passing out from the smoke. I run out and I almost die. Tony McBride came to help with her dad, everybody. It was madhouse. And now it’s like an aftermath now of just Glock mags, which are now metal because there’s no more plastic coating. Thousands of them. Just what a mess.
SPEAKER 09 :
That makes me sick.
SPEAKER 08 :
That makes me sick.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s not even my stuff. We’re out of time this time. Taren Butler, you’re always welcome to come on the program. I’m going to get out there to California as soon as these fires kind of dissipate.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m going to build you a special box with a special gift.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh my gosh, that would be amazing. Oh my gosh, this is Terrence Abbas. Terrence Abbas.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thanks for having me again.
SPEAKER 09 :
Of course, as always. All right, folks, we’re going to take a quick break. We’ve got a lot more here from SHOT Show coming up. We’ve got Randy Couture standing out there as well, I think. Stick with us. Our partners, this is an interesting partner because when they first came up to me, I was like, let’s talk a little bit. Because I’m always going to tell people, I’m going to carry. I have no problem using the lethal force to protect myself or my loved ones. I train. I know the drill. But I have friends, like I have a very good friend who’s very conservative. She works in the press corps in Washington, D.C. She got one of the very difficult to get licensed to carry there. But she can’t carry anywhere. One of the things she can do, though, and she went out and got this, is a Berna gun. It’s a non-firearm firearm. Berna SD is the most popular model. It shoots chemical irritant projectiles that can deter threats from up to 50 feet away. I just think it’s all, you got knives, you know, everybody gets blades, you get, you know, different kinds of calibers. It’s always good to diversify your weapons, your self-defense array. And that’s what Burna is there to offer. Like another option so that you are not left defenseless. They don’t care about gun-free zone signs, no background checks, no waiting period, ships right to your door. This is the perfect time to take inventory of your self-defense options.

SPEAKER 06 :
You like that skit? Yeah. I was for the MMA Awards. And one of those first years we started doing the MMA Awards, they asked me to do that skit. And I thought it was hilarious as someone who’s been divorced a couple times. And… And everybody thought it was real. Like, oh, are you going to be a lawyer now? What the heck? Yeah. Oh, there were tons of stories about it. And it came back out like a year or two ago. It came back out and started making the rounds again. It was hilarious. Attorney Randy Couture. Kiltip was amazing.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
I had a charity ride in Cocoa Beach.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, wow.
SPEAKER 06 :
Two years ago. And we got to tour. Blue Horizon, Bezos’ rocket company, and then Caltech. And the CC&Rs and both of those, and the dichotomy of the CC&Rs, because Caltech makes all their own stuff, all those little parts and everything, they make it all. And I was amazed at what they had in their facilities. They were really, really cool. George Kellgren is kind of like a mad scientist. Yeah, it was really cool.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s like he said, the 5’7″, or what they call the 57 that they’re coming out with, where it’s the clip, the stripper clip. I just got it. You got it already?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I just got it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Randy Couture got his before me.
SPEAKER 06 :
He’s got that 5’7″, with the weird mag that loads to the side, and the rounds sit in, and come around, and then get…
SPEAKER 09 :
It is. I’ve never seen a 5.7 that’s that light and thin before.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it’s really cool. It’s different. I haven’t shot it yet. I literally just got it a week ago.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, I’m so jealous. I don’t even have mine yet. Don’t even have mine yet. So I want to ask, because you have so much stuff going on. It’s like every time we talk or every time I see you, you’ve got either a series coming out, you’ve got something, a movie, something. that you have in the works.
SPEAKER 06 :
You’re basically saying I can’t find my butt with both hands and that’s true. It’s like, yeah, managed chaos. I did a film in August, the last one I did was called Pitfalls, a horror flick, a lot of fun. I played the psycho, running around the woods killing people.
SPEAKER 09 :
You were great.
SPEAKER 06 :
It took two hours to glue all that hair on.
SPEAKER 09 :
I was going to ask you about the makeup process for that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it was quite a process. Because obviously I don’t have any hair of my own. Yeah, you know. But it was a fun movie. Very ambitious. We shot that film in 20 days up in Canada in Langley.
SPEAKER 02 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 06 :
And, man, we banged it out. Had a blast doing it, though. Yeah. Most slasher flicks, they don’t really give you any backstory.
SPEAKER 02 :
No, they don’t.
SPEAKER 06 :
Why is this guy a psycho? What’s this all about? They don’t give you that. And what I liked about this script is it actually did flashback to why this guy is a maniac running around the woods killing people.
SPEAKER 09 :
And in some ways it made it scarier.
SPEAKER 06 :
And I thought that was cool. It did. You actually knew what he’d been through and then knew what he was capable of.
SPEAKER 09 :
Randy Couture, if you’re around tomorrow, you’re always welcome back. We’ve got to get going. They’re going to drop us. Dana Lash, I’ll be back tomorrow. Randy, always a legend.
