Mr Bearded Truth – 36 – If you love something, protect it.


Across the nation, in the hearts and minds of us all, we’re looking to find the best way forward to stop and prevent mass shootings. With the tragedy happening to Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX this past Tuesday, it has left many calling for action from the government to make the necessary changes to stop the needless killings. In truth, there is much that should be done by the government to help ensure that our next generation is protected. Join Jason as he discusses the horrific event and why many of the proposals being made wouldn’t actually work as intended to make us any safer.

so let’s dive into what happened tuesday there was a little bit uh you know
7:15
tuesday’s night show on muddy waters media if you guys missed that make sure you guys go back and check out matt and spike as they were talking about it but
7:21
it was too early because on tuesday is when the shooting happened down there in uvalde texas um at
7:28
rob pardon me down at rob elementary school
7:33
and so with all of that it was too soon for them to be able to talk about this um you know they’re
7:40
probably gonna hash this out again on tuesday coming up next week so make sure you guys are tuning in for that of
7:46
course because they’re going to have a lot more information than what even we’re having today because of the ensuing conversations because of the the
7:53
legislation being proposed um because of the grandstanding on different floors of
7:59
different congresses across the country um so there’s there’s going to be a lot of value there but i also wanted to be able
8:06
to take this opportunity to talk about this what’s going on terry um i wanted to come out here and talk about this as well
8:12
so sadly tuesday was not a good day for the country sadly tuesday was another
8:20
situation where we had somebody who [Music] wanted to take an opportunity to commit
8:27
as much pain and suffering as possible and of course this was um
8:35
for those of you who haven’t seen any of this and i don’t blame you for not wanting to follow this uh there was a
8:41
young individual 18 years old just just just turned 18 dropped out of high school um
8:47
came from a past with living with his mother where she was having
8:52
difficulty in life and she was uh she was an addict and there was a lot of issues circling around her life he moves
9:00
to live with his grandmother um earlier this year and so just for a couple months he was
9:06
living with his grandmother and he was having one-on-one conversations with somebody and said
9:11
that he was going to shoot her well tuesday was the day and so he did
9:17
um armed with two ar-15s within his kit he had ar-15s um he had a
9:25
vest in order to carry as much ammo as possible and he drove a truck crashed it out of
9:32
school and along the timeline so at a
9:37
11 40 the gunman was able to enter
9:44
into a school into the school of robb elementary school in ivaldi texas
9:49
and was able to enter the officers this is where it gets really interesting in the way the
9:55
timeline breaks down the officers at 11 44 so four minutes
10:00
later show up to the scene and when they show up to the scene they took the opportunity to go we’re gonna
10:07
go stop this guy and upon heading towards the building the gunshots were still ringing throughout
10:14
the school they decided instead that in order for their their protection in order to save
10:21
themselves they were going to create a perimeter around the school and prevent anyone from entering and not allowing
10:28
anyone to exit while the school is in lockdown while the gunman is inside still actively shooting
10:34
over 40 minutes maybe even over an hour depending on where you’re looking
10:41
there was nobody entering the school from law enforcement side eventually an immigration um heavily armored team was
10:48
showed up to the school about an hour later in order to go inside and find the gunman barricaded in a fourth grade
10:55
classroom during this because of a result as a result of this
11:00
21 people have been killed so it was a major travesty
11:07
my heart breaks for all the families my i’m just so strongly convicted that we
11:13
have to have a conversation around this entire circumstance because there are so many points of
11:19
failure in the way that our society has been structured due to legislation due to supreme court opinions that we have
11:26
to talk about at all um i think one of the biggest
11:31
there’s there’s points of failure in the beginning before tuesday even rolled around but on
11:37
tuesday a lot of things were highlighted the first one of course is that the gunman was able to enter in through not
11:44
through a main entrance during the middle of the school day which means that they did not have the
11:49
safety protocols as they said they did um of ensuring that out exterior doors
11:54
were locked at all times the to force anyone who would enter the school to go through the front door of course even
12:00
entering through the front door would not have stopped somebody in this circumstance they
12:06
it would have resulted in different people dying i have very little doubt of this
12:12
because these schools are commonly not armed with somebody is a public school
12:17
they may have one person or two people there that are armed at any given time up to but even in the circumstance where
12:25
somebody is driven to commit a tr an atrocity like this having one armed guard at the front door
12:32
means that that’s the first person that gets killed and then you have free reign for the rest of through the rest of the building so
12:40
of course the security protocol of not having the doors locked during school that is something
12:46
that was missed that’s a that’s a major issue but upon the time of when this began when this began
12:54
in that four minutes that it took officers to show up when when seconds matter
12:59
the police are minutes behind four minutes for them to show up and then
13:04
a couple seconds later they realized they’re not going to enter this this is ruled on by a supreme court opinion that
13:12
law enforcement despite many of them very proudly having on their police
13:17
vehicles to protect and serve have no obligation to put their own lives at
13:23
risk now many people are out there talking about many people you know making memes and having conversations
13:29
stirring it up of pointing out that what if firefighters didn’t want to go into a home because it was risky for them
13:37
what if you know paramedics didn’t want to help save somebody’s life
13:43
because potentially that person had a you know had hiv and they had to cut on
13:48
them and they didn’t want to risk their lives you know the the the externalities of all this the the
13:54
extremes that you can go to and some of them are a little more ridiculous right maybe the maybe the medic one doesn’t
13:59
work for you but the firefighter one stands firmly on scorched earth
14:06
but it’s it’s a matter here that when law enforcement don’t have to protect and serve
14:13
there’s a major fundamental issue now there’s another level to that 40 to an hour
14:19
that they were standing by creating a perimeter i told you that they were preventing people from coming in this
14:25
included family members that were nearby that knew that their children were inside
14:31
and this raises a massive concern
14:37
because i’ve heard i’ve listened to i’ve argued i’ve discussed with former law
14:43
enforcement and active law enforcement that law enforcement in those circumstances
14:48
should be preventing people from going in because it could be dangerous for them
14:55
so in other words it is the law enforcement’s job
15:01
to not go in and stop an active shooter in a school
15:06
to allow him to have free reign over a school for 40 minutes an hour we’re just
15:11
gonna start saying an hour from here on out understand that it may be 40 minutes maybe an hour there’s conflicting
15:16
reports on this to give him free reign in there and then
15:21
to also not allow to protect that area and to serve in his interests
15:29
of not allowing people to go in and try to protect their own
15:34
because it could be dangerous for them this is a conversation that needs to be
15:40
had around this country because we all have this
15:48
inherent right this inalienable right to being able to have self-defense to
15:54
practice self-defense and a part of self-defense is the defense of oneself
16:00
in the defense of another now these people were violated they had
16:06
their rights violated many of them were detained tackled to the ground and arrested or
16:13
had handcuffs placed on them they were detained tasers were threatened
16:18
and my concern is and as we’ve discussed about so many different laws across this country as we’ve discussed you know the
16:26
eric garners where selling blue cigarettes could be a death sentence
16:31
that if somebody really wanted to go inside in order to save the life of somebody else would law enforcement in
16:38
that circumstance been willing to kill somebody preventing them from entering
16:43
into that school to save the life of a loved one what is the level where is the line of
16:51
what law enforcement was willing to and not willing to do in that circumstance of ensuring that that barrier was
16:58
created now i’m reminded of in colorado just this last year of a mass shooter inside
17:05
of a mall that was stopped by a good guy with a gun we commonly talk about the good guy with a gun as
17:11
the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun because when seconds matter the police are minutes behind
17:17
now of course this is johnny hurley he was a libertarian he believed in the self-defense in the defense of others he
17:24
believed in these ideas he carried an order for that in that pursuance of defense
17:31
and in that circumstance he did save countless lives because he took down the
17:36
shooter and in that circumstance johnny hurley was killed by the police upon
17:42
showing up they didn’t ask any questions they didn’t see that the situation was calming down at all they didn’t take any
17:49
time at all to assess the situation they shot first and asked questions later and still not anyone has been held
17:56
accountable for killing john hurley so we have this entire system
18:02
where people are entirely held unaccountable for their actions we have a system where people cannot be
18:09
responsible for their lives or the lives of others cannot be able to be out there to protect their
18:15
own so i’m i i’m really hoping for a good conversation and sadly as a result of
18:21
this circumstance there in uvalde texas we’ve only seen more
18:26
grandstanding we’ve seen people standing on the bodies saying that we need to have more government well in the
18:32
circumstance of when it comes to gun-free zones more than 80 percent of mass shootings happen in these these
18:39
gun-free zones when you make aries a soft soft target such as
18:44
a prime example would be the pulse shooter in florida back in i believe it was 2016. in 2016 a man wanted to wreak
18:52
havoc one evening and so he drove around in florida and
18:58
drove to i believe the number was five different nightclubs
19:03
the first four had armed guards outside you’re not going into that there’s too
19:10
much risk and not a guarantee for the reward of what he wanted to pursue
19:15
that’s when he found pulse nightclub and that’s when so many people were
19:20
irreversibly damaged or killed that trauma that terror that he
19:28
instilled into others was because they were they were not protected
19:34
and so there has to be a conversation of how do we protect american children in the education
19:41
system and sadly because of a lot of the systems in the department of education
19:47
and the way that we have our our system structured our public education our public schools our government ran
19:54
schools more accurately described they have a higher rate of violence whether that’s in bullying assault
20:01
or even mass shootings in the last couple of years over the last i believe it was a decade there’s
20:08
122 school shootings or 100 and i’m sorry 132
20:14
school shootings and there was only eight of them in other than government-ran public schools
20:21
we have a major problem in this country and there has to be somebody out there addressing these issues rather than just
20:28
thinking well if we just implemented a background check the shooter here would have passed it
20:35
there are concerns about potentially him threatening to shoot up a school later when he was 14 years old
20:42
as a juvenile there’s maybe a potential that that could have populated on someone
20:49
on a background check but it’s not likely you have people pushing just to remove
20:54
firearms in general well back in 2014 before the cdc was prohibited from doing
21:00
gun studies they found that between five hundred thousand and three million defensive uses of firearms are
21:08
occurring each and every year and with five hundred thousand defensive
21:13
use of firearms each year just on the low end of that spectrum
21:18
just on the the smallest part of that spectrum 500 000
21:23
that is 500 000 homicides prevented that is 500 000
21:28
thefts that are prevented that’s five hundred thousand rapes that is prevented that’s five hundred thousand assaults
21:34
that are prevented there is so much good that can come from this in a society that
21:41
embraces the ability for people to have an equalizer to be able to defend
21:48
themselves and so maybe the opportunity is not to force schools to have
21:53
you know this type of a security that type of a security but to allow for schools to make those determinations to
22:00
allow for the individuals the teachers the faculty to be able to determine
22:06
if if i want to be able to practice my rights maybe there could be a a quick
22:12
examination a monitoring system of monitoring their mental health things like that to allow for them
22:19
to not have their rights stricken from them especially without due process in
22:24
accordance with the constitution but to allow for them to be able to protect it their lives and the lives of those
22:30
children in those schools it’s clear to me
22:37
that when we just say we just want to make the law abiding citizen have a harder time to obtain these weapons to
22:45
do these things that it’s missing the entire
22:50
big picture that these are people that don’t necessarily care what the law says
22:55
right i’m going to obtain a weapon on the black market i don’t care that it’s the black market
23:02
if if there are people that are driven to commit atrocities the amount of
23:08
legality there is not a matter that is a concern for them many of these people are doing it in the pursuance of causing
23:15
a national conversation they many of these people are writing manifestos to tell you exactly what their political
23:22
agenda is with this and they do not care whether they live or die as a result of
23:28
these these are people that by many standards are deranged and
23:35
so we look at these things and we understand that a lot of the things that
23:42
republicans and democrats are talking about are not actually in the pursuance of protecting the children
23:51
one of the most important institutions in any kind of a society is the
23:56
education system that’s why it’s such a high value in how i conduct myself and things that i
24:03
look at is how do we make the education system better because if you’re able to raise up those standards you raise up
24:09
the society’s ability to to prosper to do well for themselves and for others
24:15
it’s an incredibly important institution so maybe it’s time that we look at actually being able to protect them
24:23
pardon me and so so security
24:29
allowing for faculty and staff members to be able to protect them one of the biggest um strawmans that i’ve seen
24:36
when i bring that up is the idea is that well you know staff members then have
24:41
guns won’t they shoot up the kids and it’s like that is a valid concern that you know we
24:47
don’t want people to shoot up the kids of course i agree with you that is a major concern the problem is is right
24:54
now the way the system is structured you still can’t you could still shoot up the children these faculty members can
25:02
still shoot up the children this isn’t a matter of suddenly now it’s on the table because
25:08
you’ve allowed for people to step up and to step into those roles i want this to be a voluntary thing
25:15
just like owning a firearm for your home just like going through
25:20
and carrying a firearm on your person i want these to be voluntary i don’t want to force anybody to do these things but
25:27
i want people to have the opportunity to be able to protect themselves in the way that they see fit
25:33
um so i’m just looking at all this and i
25:39
it’s frustrating to me because i feel like we aren’t actually having good conversations across the
25:44
spectrum and so i i you know i welcome anyone and everyone to be able to be a part of these conversations let me know if you think
25:51
i’m wrong let me know if you think i’m right you know spread this message if you think i’m right drop it in the
25:56
comment section if you think i’m wrong but so many of the aspects that are coming out
26:02
are just window dressing for what happened but they’re also to push an agenda
26:14
okay so here’s a here’s a quick comment that came in from youtube people are talking about giving teachers guns my significant other gets a hundred dollars
26:21
for supplies for the year where is this gun money hiding this is you know when it comes to the
26:27
second amendment right you have a right to self-defense you have a right to firearms but you are you have a right to
26:32
obtain firearms but you don’t have a right to the firearms this is something that you know i would not expect a
26:38
school system to go in and have a fund for paying for their teachers to buy ammo to
26:44
buy guns and everything else especially as the rates of these as especially as the costs continue to grow
26:53
and so i am i i understand some of the concerns when
27:00
it comes to the money when when people bring that up we’ll sidebar this for for a couple
27:06
seconds real quick when people talk about the money that teachers are not getting and i
27:12
agree with you and you look over the historical facts of things teachers are not making that much money private
27:18
school teachers make even less than public school teachers by metrics public schools are not doing
27:24
as well as private schools it’s a weird thing but
27:30
a lot of the money the revenue going to the school systems themselves
27:35
has been increasing incredibly so like every other government department and agency out
27:40
there so it’s staying at the top because these people at the top they know what’s best and so they should be paid what’s
27:47
best and so there’s a battle within that and there’s a lot of corruption in the way that the funding is allocated by our
27:54
education system throughout the education system it is a very much a top-heavy thing and is not to the
28:00
benefit of the students it’s not a benefit to the to the staff and certainly because of those things is not
28:06
a benefit to society and this is why i’m a huge proponent
28:11
of school choice so
28:20
the when i mentioned earlier about um a potential for this the shooter to have
28:28
been arrested this is being alleged today by a texas republican he’s
28:33
claiming this um he was uh arrested while being a minor after he told people
28:39
he intended to attack a school when he turned 18 quote this wasn’t hearsay i got this
28:45
late last night the shooter was arrested years ago four years ago for having his plan
28:50
for having this plan to for basically saying you know when i’m a senior in 2022 i am
28:57
going to shoot up a school his juvenile record has not been confirmed by police to this point
29:08
and when we talk also about the failures of the school system i should have read this and i apologize for making this a
29:14
little bit out of out of place so cnn from cnn reported thursday that
29:20
the uvalde school district had a safety plan that includes its own police force social media monitoring and
29:27
a threat reporting the system to provide a safe and secure environment for students the two-page document on the
29:33
district’s website lists 21 measures that it says
29:38
it has undertaken for the safety of the school community ranging from an apt for reporting
29:44
bullying to physical security measures like unlocked doors like fencing and a
29:50
buzz indoor system it’s not clear what degree the plan was developed with active shooters in mind
29:57
and i saw also that when we we’ve trained
30:03
we have trained students on active shooter drills
30:09
for years and so when they grow up and should they decide
30:17
to shoot up a school such as this individual they understand the plan
30:22
they understand how to maneuver and navigate through these things they understand where and how
30:30
and everything else because these are not going to be um
30:37
anything more than semantically different from school to school to school because it’s the same organization providing it for all of
30:43
them across the board of course that is the department of education
30:48
so we’re having a massive thing where we think just navigating people around in a facility
30:54
is going to save them this isn’t true there has to be a
31:00
difference there has to be a change that comes about that allows for safety
31:05
to be enacted to be put in place to be able to protect our kids especially in the public school system where this
31:12
violence is so much more rampant than other places
31:20
money has been become the god of this whole world i agree um it’s it’s terrible so
31:27
there’s so much of this conversation that needs to be had
31:32
amongst people who want to see a difference not to stand on the bodies of 21 people and
31:39
say i had this idea that’s not actually going to address this circumstance that’s not actually i
31:46
want to implement more background checks
31:51
that would have not solved this that would not have solved this at all
31:57
he bought it over the table but turns out through things like fast and the furious
32:02
we’re willing to give cartels guns guns that are not legal for americans to
32:07
own we will give it to people and those will be distributed out as they see fit the
32:13
black market isn’t is is an easy way and private to private sales you cannot
32:20
force a background check on a private to private sale if it is not going through a ffl dealer if it is not going through
32:28
um you know a lot of these different things that are required by law
32:33
you can navigate around it by doing a private or private sale so if somebody is deranged enough to get this you have
32:39
opportunities there so these background checks while they sound nice they sound like they would be in the best of
32:45
intentions the implementation would have not solved this and so this is what we have we have
32:52
people standing on the bodies of these people and they’re in they’re trying to implement changes that won’t stop those
32:58
bodies from growing that sorry from from the number of those bodies from growing
33:04
it is a horrific situation it is tragic to see things like this there was two
33:10
families that lost two children apiece
33:16
you have some republicans now talking about red flag laws red flag laws would have been great
33:22
if it meant that people had due process and you know it would have been great for gary willis but instead gary willis
33:29
was killed when they tried to implement or when they tried to confiscate his guns in maryland
33:35
red flag laws would be great if we didn’t have a right to due process red flag laws would be great if it wasn’t
33:41
predicated on a snitch system wherein that we’re trying to find people
33:47
to point out other people and say you need to go rough him up government and take away his stuff and then let’s see
33:54
if he’s going to be mad about it we’re in a struggle we are in a giant
34:00
struggle to find a good effective way of stopping these things
34:05
in so far my understanding to the
34:10
all the research that i’ve done to all the people i’ve spoken with the idea that if we allow for people to
34:17
protect themselves that that is a massive deterrent
34:22
to to these atrocities from happening nobody is going to go shoot up a gun
34:29
range gun ranges are frequently having people in there shooting firearms and it is so
34:37
incredibly rare and mostly just freak accidents if somebody is to die in one of them
34:43
because people are not going to go shoot up a place where they are going to be at risk for what they are doing
34:50
so i’m hoping that we can understand some of the stuff and we can push that way of actually
34:57
implementing things where instead of we say government save us
35:03
because when you get rid of temporary freedoms temporary liberties and the pursuance of freedom you receive neither
35:10
because just like in there on tuesday
35:17
when seconds matter police are minutes away an hour away
35:23
and it’s not even the police it’s the immigration forces and this is of course coming off of
35:30
in 2020 you’ve all the uh city or county was boasting about a
35:36
new swat team in order to come in and save the schools and save the day they were gonna be there in time they’re
35:43
to rush in and they’re going to save the day so i’m sure many of you have seen this on facebook and everything else it’s not
35:49
working they’re not going to come in and save us they’re not going to come in and protect
35:54
us they’re going to wait until it is safe for them to step in and protect and
36:00
serve and this is a massive problem i’m glad to see republicans and
36:06
democrats crying out for that that the handling from the police was absolutely wrong and abort and it needed
36:12
to be handled better i’m glad that that happened but it sucks at the uvalde police chief
36:19
daniel rodriguez when he issued a statement on thursday two days later
36:28
he said it is important for our community to know that our officers responded within minutes they responded
36:34
within minutes and as i said they created barriers and prevented people from going in and trying to protect
36:41
their loved ones when the police were refusing to do so
36:48
he also said that officers who responded to the shooting saved lives despite waiting before physically
36:55
confronting the suspect who was held up in classroom they saved lives by not allowing people
37:01
to go in and try to actually save the lives instead of allowing for a man to
37:06
be sitting there fishing from a barrel
37:14
it’s disgusting i’m i’m so entirely
37:19
disgusted and nauseated from this circumstance in the way that it’s unfolded
37:24
and that we are not anywhere closer to looking at actual substantial changes
37:30
being made in order to help protect our schools to protect our children
37:41
another comment coming in i saw yuvaldi police posting not to donate to gofundme and to only donate to
37:49
an account they acquired for the families they won’t do anything to save the children but they will accept money
37:58
that yes they will they would be happy to benefit from this they would be happy to go
38:04
forward and benefit from this but when it comes to actually putting themselves at risk
38:11
we need to create a barrier and detain the family members
38:16
we need to detain the people from being able to protect so we can save their lives
38:26
i want to know what you guys are hearing what are you are you guys are you guys hearing the same thing that
38:31
i am it’s just nothing but good intentions to a
38:36
circumstances that are not based around this context at all that won’t actually solve the problems
38:43
that we’re facing that is actually just going to make it
38:49
worse off for law-abiding citizens we need to have longer holds we need to
38:55
do this than the other we need to make it to where it costs more money so that poor people can’t afford to get their
39:00
guns we need to make it you know this than the other this is all that this conversation has boiled down to and i understand the gun
39:06
control conversation is one that is being had so prevalently over time you
39:12
have people adamantly who have never been around a firearm in their life basically i admit that they understand these
39:19
circumstances that they understand how they work and they function and they understand that every firearm out there
39:24
is a fully automatic weapon it’s a ghost gun it shoots a thousand rounds per minute
39:33
we need to have a level of understanding in this country on something that so many people are so incredibly passionate
39:39
about you cannot reason with somebody
39:44
on you cannot reason with somebody and give them logic to change their mind
39:52
if they came to it from an emotional point of view
39:59
this is the biggest struggle that we face when it comes to this conversation around gun control is how do we take
40:05
emotional people who got to their position who got to their passion through an
40:11
emotional means and how do we match that emotion
40:17
to be able to challenge their idea on their level to be able to bring them to a point of
40:23
of logic and reason to be able to actually have substantiated conversations of course if
40:30
you guys look back at the previous shows we’ve talked a lot about this there’s some important skills and so i’ll leave
40:36
you guys to go check those out um
40:41
i apologize i am coming over a sinus infection from over the weekend and uh it’s still a struggle
40:48
but i will leave that to you guys to be able to go check out those episodes to find out ways of being effective in your communication with people so you can
40:55
talk on the same level to be able to to move those um
41:01
but
41:06
i if you guys follow my twitter i was talking the other day or i shared a tweet and i think i shared it on money
41:12
watchers media page itself um but it was basically to the effect of everybody is
41:17
using their nine-year-old their seven-year-old their six-year-old their four-year-old um to come up with these
41:23
grand ideas and they post them on twitter they post them on facebook and it was kind of
41:28
comical to me i believe that this one was um was the wash was a washington post
41:34
article but they had actually used a nine-year-old
41:41
oh never mind no this was a mother but she had a nine-year-old nine so this this woman suggested officers should
41:47
have been willing to sacrifice their own lives to save children i don’t think that’s necessarily a bad idea we expect our military to step in
41:55
even when it’s unsafe for them to go and do the right thing of course the mission is most important so you have to be able
42:01
to find safe ways to navigate but sometimes there’s no safe way but you have to get the mission done in this
42:07
circumstance when you have an active shooter actively shooting in a school
42:12
by himself that’s the mission not to create perimeters and everything
42:18
else
42:23
she continued on with a quote that’s what they signed up for it’s common sense if they had shot him down the kids have
42:29
come could have come out through the door heartbreaking to know that these kids were left
42:36
with nothing to protect them but just the limited number of rounds
42:43
that he had on his person and of course we’re going to see legislation where it’s like well we just
42:50
need to ban ammunition we need to make ammunition more expensive we need to to
42:55
ban magazine sizes um even standard magazines
43:00
we need to limit the amount of resources that people can use and this
43:05
is of course where the point of five hundred thousand and three million defensive use of firearms is so it
43:12
carries just so much weight on this conversation five hundred thousand defensive uses
43:18
three million defensive uses between that range is is it clearly a
43:24
large spectrum but even at the most conservative of values of 500 000
43:33
it is it’s massive and so we have to listen to those things
43:42
but i want to let you guys know that [Music]
43:52
i wanna let you guys know that tonight we are having a special here at mighty waters media at 10 p.m
43:57
that while we continue to find out more information on this circumstance as we
44:02
continue to build out the case that our government doesn’t care about
44:09
us in the slightest way you aren’t required to be protected by them they will not force themselves to protect you
44:14
they will not allow for you to protect you um as this case continues to grow
44:20
and be more and more sinister
44:26
and obvious um we will let liberty rise we will we will continue to come out here and have
44:32
these conversations and because of you guys sharing this out because of you guys supporting this this platform this
44:37
show and everything else that we will continue having this that we will continue to push this and we will
44:43
continue to see more and more people turn towards liberty turn away from the government because you know if i can use
44:50
a quote that was said today there in reno um
44:57
let me find it real quick we don’t have the power to change
45:02
this we have the right and we need to be able to come out and exercise our rights
45:09
band together work together and see the positive change for our societies that that are necessary
45:16
but like i was saying tonight 10 p.m eastern here on muddy waters media you’re going to get muddy murica one
45:22
more time we have the uh the lp national chair debate happening in
45:29
reno tonight 10 p.m eastern and so we
45:35
being matt wright and myself we will be talking about that and pushing forward on a conversation to not only hear what
45:42
the chair candidates are saying but also to be able to break some of that stuff down to you know maybe we can challenge it um on
45:49
what they’re saying to see if they’re saying the right things or if they’re just trying to blow smoke up our asses it’s important that for us that as we
45:55
continue to work towards discerning candidates as to what they truly mean and what they truly desire so i hope you
46:01
guys will join me myself and matt wright tonight 10 p.m eastern here on muddy waters media
46:07
