02-13-26 Mark chats with Paul Markel on jokes, Canada, and New Mexico

This is Armed American Radio's Daily Defense. Armed American Radio's Daily Defense, because they don't want me to, that's why I do it. Presented by the National Rifle Association. From the CZ Studios. They're never going to stop us here. Here is your host, the loudest conservative voice in America fighting the enemies of freedom, Mark Walters. Welcome in, ladies and gentlemen. Armed American Radio's daily defense begins right now on your Friday the 13th. Are you having a good Friday the 13th? Are you superstitious? I didn't even realize it was Friday the 13th until about midday. Welcome in. CZ Studios are fired up for you. I am Mark Walters filling your prescription for freedom today and every day, Monday through Friday here in the CZ studios on this Patriot mobile powerful microphone at the Patriot mobile command center. That's correct. Greg in Dallas, Texas. How you doing, my brother? Not too bad. Yeah, it is Friday the 13th. Yeah, it didn't sink into you, did it? Oh, I knew it. Any day the month starts on a Sunday, you know you're going to have a Friday the 13th. I did not know that. Yep. Really? That's true? Absolutely true. Even in a short month like February? Correct. Because we're not 12 days in February. Okay, but I never thought about it. Greg just enlightened me. I had no clue. Yeah. That's how I pay attention to Friday the 13th month. If I know our Sunday show is the first of the month, then we're going to have a Friday the 13th in almost two weeks. Okay. Well, that would make sense. Yeah, it adds up. Does 2 plus 2 ever equal 5? Never. 3 plus 1? Help me out here. I don't know. That's like one of those card tricks that just happens. It's not really a card trick. It's just a mathematic thing, and everybody thinks, wow, look at Jim, man. He's a great magician. No, it's just mathematics. It's always going to be that one. Everything just falls in order. Okay, good deal. What's the weather in Dallas real quick before we go to our guest? I don't know the exact tip, but we are actually pretty good, about 70 and partly cloudy skies. Yeah, I had the top down on the vet today for a little bit. All right. First time in about three weeks, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, yeah, it's a Friday. Let's get cracking. TGI. Let's get your weekend started. TGI. Yeah, TGIF. Greg's favorite day of the week. I have to say I'm kind of glad it's Friday today, too, to be honest with you. It's been another very long week. It has been a week. Let's go to Paul Markle, student of gun in beautiful Wyoming. Paul, how you doing, my brother? Welcome in. Happy Friday the 13th, bro. Yeah, sorry. Do you know why Friday the 13th is bad luck? I do. I do. I do. Okay, wait a minute. Greg is in my ear saying, I do, I do, I do, and I don't know if you've heard that. No, I'm on the air. I'm on the air. Yeah. You are on the air? Okay, so tell us why. Tell us why. It's not a good day for Templar knights in the 1400s. Yep, that is the day that the king of France betrayed the knights Templar so he could get their money. Massacred them. So he could take their money. Sounds like a bunch of Democrats. Yep, that's exactly, I mean, it's been going on that long. They had money and he needed it and he's like, I need to make them look bad and this is what I'm going to do. And so he made him turned him into heretics. And then, of course, being them being heretics, that gave him the right to seize all their money. So what was his name? King Philippe. Yeah. Was it Mamdami? King of King. King AOC. King Sanders. King Biden. Bummer. No. Sounds like a Democrat. I had I did not know that I'm learning a lot today, guys. You guys just educate me today. Take the show. I mean, I'll learn new stuff. Let's just talk cool things. Here's one for you. Have you ever heard the term pass the buck? Do you know where that comes from? Typically when they pass the collection plate in church, right? No, no, no. That may be one theory, but the theory I'm going to tell you is pretty cool. Paul, have you ever heard this? No. Pass the buck? I know where the buck stops. Okay, well, back in the day. I'm going back into the late 19th century, back when America was expanding west. You know, people used to hide a lot of their money roll. They would roll up some of their dollar bills if they were, you know, carrying any bills. They would roll those rolls up, and others were, you know, Morgan silver dollars and all that stuff, and they would stick them into a cylinder in a six-gun. And they would spin it, and they knew that in order to fire the gun, they had to pass the buck. Now, that's one theory. There's lots of them out there, but I thought that was kind of a cool one, so I'll run with that one. We'll never really know, but, you know, that's kind of a cool theory. Do you have any fun stuff like that to tell us on a Friday? Well, I know why a quarter is called two bits. Tell us. Because back after the Civil War, Americans, especially Americans from the South who were heading West, did not trust paper money. but back then they still had spanish gold dollars and so what they did double ones yeah they had well they had this this mexican gold the gold whatever um pesos and any who's here so they but a whole dollar's worth of gold is a lot you don't need that much to buy a plate of beans or a drink or whatever so they they cut them up in the into eighths quarters and eighths and so two bits of a Mexican dollar was one quarter of a dollar. And that's why they call it two bits. Speaking of quarters, anybody know why the quarters have ridges on the edge of it? Stop. No, okay, is this not FCC friendly or something? See, I'm not in the know again. I'm not in the know again. Now, I know Greg's at the network. Are we allowed to talk about this or I don't want to get in trouble here? No, not if you want to. Unless you want to commit suicide in your cell by handing yourself to toilet paper. All right. I'm not going there. Guys, I have no idea what they're talking about. I really, truly don't. So I'll just move on. Okay. All right. Well, I had one I was going to bring up, and now I can't remember what it was because I got off sidetracked on that. I wondered if I was going to get in FCC trouble. But I know I trust Greg at the network. The FCC will be mad at you. The FCC will not be mad at you, but there will be other people that will. Okay. Well, let's not go there. will be mad. We are not going there. Well, I guess I don't even know why I'm laughing, but apparently that's funny for a reason, so I'll find that out during the break, guys. Some of your audience knows. So you're telling me there's people laughing right now somewhere? They're probably shocked I brought it up, actually. Well, I'm laughing and I don't know anything about it, so I'll leave it. I'll just leave it at that, Paul. Give me another one. Got another one for us? Oh, I don't know. I'm usually full of these things. I usually know. I'm having trouble thinking about it, maybe because I'm on a live mic. But I usually have all this stuff. I was telling my kids all kinds of cool stuff about those little – I don't even know. What do you call those? Anecdotes? Anecdotes would be good, yeah. There you go. I'm not on my game today. What can I tell you? No. Give me another anecdote. Come on. Give me one. Let's just take the segment and do it. Give me some anecdotes. More useless information? Yeah, I didn't know I had homework today. Useless info. Yeah. Well, neither did I. I'm just riffing off the top of my head when the subject comes up, so I think I'm done for the day. Yeah, well, I'll find out during the break just how done you are because I don't know that I'm going to ask you again after I – yeah, okay. Hmm. So do you know why there's hair? I'm not going to. Well, all right, I got one for you. Do you know why if the sheriff in the West, like out West, If they arrested you and you claim self-defense and there were six cartridges in your 1873 revolver that they would charge you with premeditated murder. Really? I have not heard that one. Yeah, because you only carried five in it. The reason you only carry five is because the 1873 has the hammer firing pin on the hammer. And when you lower it, if you lowered it onto a loaded cartridge, it could go off. So what you do when you load an 1873, you load one, skip one, load four. So that way, when you release the hammer, it falls down onto an empty chamber. Also, if you had a hammer down on a loaded chamber with that kind of gun and it got bumped or banged or dropped. You bumped it or dropped it. And, you know, that goes hand in hand with the pass the buck, by the way. Yeah, it would go off. That's how that came out. That's why that's all part and parcel of the same thing. But, yeah, and there are still people. Paul, there are still people out there that tend to do that. There are still people out there that will only put five rounds in a revolver for that very reason. It has a firing pin hammer and, yeah, all that stuff. Yeah, well, you know, there's people that, you know, back in the day, right? We say back in the day. They remember those things, right? Well, they don't remember it. We got people that are doing stuff that have no idea why. That's true. That's what they were told back in the day from people who lived back in that day. It's like black cat superstition. Yeah. Well, guys, I guess you can tell by now we really got nothing for you today, so we're just going to kind of have some fun with it. I had no idea where we were going to I did want to talk about what happening in New Mexico and we go there But I going to see if I can conjure up some more anecdotes during the break just for fun And I got to hear this one from Greg Because that went right over my head. Well, Paul got it right off the bat. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the laughter was instantaneous. Paul Markle, the professor, student of the gun, is with us today. You can check him out. He is the professor. SOTGU.com. And for all things, Paul Mark will find out about his training, get his new books. We'll talk about his newest book and all that fun stuff when we come back from this break, which I really hope would hurry up and get here because I got nothing right now. I'm just kind of jabbering. There it is. There it is. There's the burn. There's the burn. I feel like Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men taking a sip of bourbon at the bar down there on Malibu Beach. There's the burn. There's the burn. Armed American Radio's Daily Defense will be back. No idea where we're going. Really, truly have no idea, but it'll be fun. Don't go away.

I had them on this morning when I walked out to the studio and it was a little cold. Then it got warm. Paul Markle, student of the gun. Welcome back in, brother. Hey, it was a little cold this morning for you. He's in Wyoming, right? Yeah. Yeah, it was 28 this morning when I got up. I was upset that my son parked his truck in the driveway blocking me to the garage. I couldn't get the vet in the garage, so it sat outside all night. I got in and the seat was cold when I went up to Best Buy and returned to receipt. It was giving me all kinds of garbage. And I said, no, no, no. Move that thing. Let me get it in the garage. I'm such a wimp. Hey, so check this out. A fisherman returns from his fishing trip, you guys, and tells his friends, I caught a fish that was so big, when I got it back into the boat, the boat sank. His friend says, that sounds like a whopper. He says, it was. I said, the fisherman, it was. But that's not the best part. When I swam back to shore, I found the fish sitting there waiting for me. Nobody gets it. You don't get that. Was it that bad? I walked into a bar with a dog. Was that really that bad? Do I have to retell it? Maybe emphasis? No, no, don't do it. All right, let's go to New Mexico, Paul. Unless you have any more fun anecdotes. No. Well, I mean, we can go to New Mexico. Wait, hold on, hold on. You know how Led Zeppelin got their name? I figure you might know this. I do, no. Okay, hold on, let me tell it. Because there's a couple of variations of it, but it is true. And this is in its rawest form. But back when the band was forming, they had actually auditioned, I believe it was Jeff Beck. If I'm not mistaken. And he said no. He didn't want to join the band. He said they sucked and they were going to go down like a lead balloon. And that's actually, there's a little, you know, maybe a little twist to that. But that's a true story. That's how Led Zeppelin got their name. It was a play on that. Everybody knows how Leonard Skinner got their name, right? Was their high school gym teacher in L.A., lower Alabama. That's true. Some weird stuff for you. Anyway, let's go. So, moving on. So, moving on. Thanks, AWR. Appreciate that. I had a funny conversation with him today, too. So today, the New Mexico House is holding a hearing. No, it's holding a hearing on Wednesday, I think coming up on Wednesday. No, it was yesterday. The hearing was yesterday. Guys, I'm out of it. I apologize. The hearing was yesterday. I don't know yet what's going to happen here, Paul. But the New Mexico House held a hearing on SB 17, which is their huge gun ban bill that bans America's most popular rifle, as well as numerous semi-automatic shotguns and pistols. So because the New Mexico Senate passed SB 17 on Saturday last week by a vote of 22 to 17. And yet again, Democrats carried the day on a gun ban. But the bill targets semi-automatic firearms and also contains new restrictions and requirements for licensed firearms dealers. Check this out. So they claim this is under security requirements, Paul. Listen to what firearms dealers, that's your gun shop, ladies and gentlemen. Listen to what they're calling for. Sight hardening at your local gun shop, including locks on the doors. Do you know of any gun shops that don't have locked doors, Paul? Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, I guess back in the day they just left everything there, right? Back in the day again? Yeah, they just trusted everybody. No, there have been locks on doors since locks were invented. They're going to require sight hardening, which includes locks on doors and windows and other features. and those features, according to the bill, shall be designed to prevent unauthorized entry, which may include bars or grates, security screens, and commercial-grade metal doors, installation and use of video surveillance systems, including video recording devices at each point of sale and each entrance and exit to the premises, which shall be recorded from both the indoor and outdoor vantage points, and the dealer shall maintain such recordings for a period of not less than... How long do you think? Take a guess. I don't know, three years. Greg, you want to jump in? In perpetuity. No, you both went over. The winner would have been slightly under. But it was two years, for two years. And the dealer shall maintain such recordings for a period of not less than two years and other reasonable requirements. And other reasonable requirements, as determined by the department and the attorney general, they get to determine the reasonable requirements, in addition to what they just told you. to reduce the risk of burglaries at dealers' premises and the theft of firearms in shipment to and from dealers' premises. Because what happens if you don't comply with that? You're a criminal. Oh, yeah. So people breaking into your store, which is already illegal. Now, this is California-esque. Yeah, right. This is Californication of New Mexico. Same thing is going on in Virginia, although I haven't seen this yet in Virginia, but they'll probably take this idea and run with it as well. Paul, what gives? Well, I know what gives. New Mexico is the landscape of New Mexico is beautiful. The peoplescape of New Mexico is horrible. It is filthy, disgusting. Their cities are filthy and disgusting. Their cities are filthy and disgusting. They're run by Democrats, and they're populated with Democrat voters. And the state is, ask any person that's driven through Albuquerque or northern New Mexico or anywhere. You can tell. You leave, you know, if you're heading either east or west, you know, you, like, go from Arizona or you come from Texas and you go across New Mexico. You enter New Mexico and you get off the highway and go into a rest area or a bathroom at a gas station. Then there's graffiti everywhere. We stopped and we had to drive because we were coming down from the mountains and we cut through and blah, blah, blah. So our route took us through New Mexico. and they're in the middle of the day the maverick gas station which doesn't mean anything to east coast people because maverick's out here but the gas station it's one of these big ones you know it has like 12 pumps and it has all the delis and the pizzas and stuff like that there was only the normal setup is you can go from the side door or the front doors or whatever well the side door is locked in the middle of the day. So you have to go through the front door. There's an armed security guard at the front door in the middle of the day at a gas station. And that if that doesn't tell you what kind of place you're at, because they don't they don't pay armed security guards. They don't they actually get paid. They don't do that for nothing. Hold the thought. We're getting ready to take a break. Hold on. We're getting ready to take a break here. When we come back, we'll go back to that. But it was kind of funny when Paul, when he said it's one of the big ones, he's got 12 pumps. He clearly has never been to a Buc-ee's. And I think that's what Greg was mentioning when Greg said 12 pumps. When you were thinking about Buc-ee's. We'll be back. Two more segments with Paul on a Friday don go away The following segment of Armed American Radio's Daily Defense is being brought to you by Patriot Mobile.

They are at every function that you attend or wish you could have attended. It doesn't matter. They're there in states across the country. They are so busy. That management team is always on the ground somewhere fighting for your right to bear arms as a mobile phone company. And I joke with Scott over there at Patriot all the time and kind of caught him off guard a little bit a few weeks ago when he was at the shot show and retreated to his hotel room to come and take a little break and get off his feet for a little bit and join us on the program. And I said, do you have the biggest booth there between the mobile companies? And he kind of chuckled because the other mobile companies don't go there. We did the same thing with Danielle yesterday. Patriot Mobile's at every single one of them. They go to gun shows. They go to conventions all across the country, and they fight for your right to bear arms. That's the company you want to do business with. It's real easy. PatriotMobile.com slash AAR. Swapping a phone takes a few seconds. You get to keep your number. It's super easy to do.

Every day is Pride Day at Patriot Mobile, ladies and gentlemen, because they're very proud of their product. And they should be because they've got a good one. And I have it. You can do the same thing, patriotmobile.com slash AAR. Paul Markle, student of the gun. Welcome back to the CZ Studios with me. So continue, if you would, about New Mexico. I just want to say, to me, New Mexico, to me, looks like the moonscape. You know, it's got a weird geology to it that doesn't look like Texas and doesn't look like Arizona. It's kind of weird to me. But that's OK. Yeah, the state is very attractive. I mean, the land is. And if there's anyone in New Mexico listening and you're offended, that's tough rocks. Because the reason that New Mexico, I mean, it's a crap hole. And it's a crap hole because apparently that's what the people want. The people who live there want it to be a crap hole. It's like the people who live in New York City. They want to live in a filthy, stinking, rat-infested, trash, garbage-infested crap hole. That's what they voted for. That's what they voted for. They got it, too, by the way. And they got it. I saw some jobs online for New York City snow shovelers, but I'm not going to go up there. While we're on New York City, that Mom Donnie communist is in a tiff with the Trump administration right now. The federal buildings in New York, they pulled the pride flags down. The federal government did, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. It's a great thing. And Mom Donnie is going crazy. And a group of protesters and activists went ahead and put the flags back. So they're in a row right now with the federal government. Guess who's going to win that one, ladies and gentlemen? I guarantee you're not going to win. No, you're not going to win that one. but they try first of all when they do try paul it just shows where their priorities are as you just mentioned snow's 10 feet high garbage is 10 feet high it's like going back to the days of marcoch man which i remember very well i was spent a lot of time in the city back then it was a dirty rotten stink hole yeah and that's what they want and that's what they're going to get you know they're getting it in real time you're a guy who's sworn in two months the you know here's the thing it's all about money and i know there's federal federal tax dollars flowing into that crap hole um take it away you know and that's how you fix the problem that's how we won i mean we actually we won the cold war um we defeated the soviet union by making them pay for their own stuff because communism can't pay for its own stuff socialism can't pay for socialism. Socialism requires other people to pay for it. OPM, ladies and gentlemen, other people's money. And, you know, it's not a hard thing. It takes courage. It takes guts to say it because what's always like, oh, you hate children. You want children to starve. It's like, well, why is it the people of the United States of America's responsibility to prop up California? Because that's what we're doing. We're propping up California. All right. Well, this is along the lines. I'm going to go to Virginia on this one. It's not about I spent a couple of days this week talking about Virginia's gun laws as the blueprint for the nation and did a pretty deep dive and compared some court cases and gave some predictions as to what would happen in courts using historical analysis on lower court decisions and what's likely to happen at SCOTUS eventually in some of these cases down the road. But we're talking years down the road. But there was an article up on Fox News today. I don't know. I'm sure you're aware of this, Paul. But the Democrats in Virginia right now are now pulling an unconstitutional power grab and going to redistrict the entire state to benefit them in the midterms and wipe out about five or six Republican districts so that they can guarantee themselves power through 2030. Now, they're too stupid to see beyond that because it will come back to bite them. There will be Republicans in office and the Republicans will make changes. but it doesn't matter to them. And as far as socialism, the reason I bring this up is because the tweet that I put out today, or the ex-post, whatever you want to call it, formerly known as Twitter, was, guys, accept this fact. The Democrats have left you. They hate you. Neil McCabe was talking about it on the show last week. And it's true. They've left you. They hate you. Paul, it's time for a national divorce. That's what I put out on the tweet. Let them live in their blue cities. Let them live in their blue cities and watch those cities turn gray and dark under socialism, the weight of socialism and communism. Let them have their illegals. Let them protect their criminals. Let them do whatever they want to do. And meanwhile, the rest of America will flourish in color while they go back to black and white. And that is exactly what will happen. And it's, you know, the other option is not good. Let them have it. I'm all for it. It's just to go down with them. You know, that's the, that's, everything you just said is going to take courage. It's going to take guts. And honesty. It's going to take people, and it's going to take people saying, you know what? I don't care. Oh, but you should be emotionally invested in this. No, I don't care. I don't care. I'm done caring. I'm fed up. Well, many people in Virginia that I know have tuned out and are feeling that right now. And I've heard from a lot of people that I don't know as well that agreed with my comments and with my buddy's comment. These guys lived their entire life, born and raised, multimillionaire, made all his money dredging the Norfolk Naval Station yards and all that. You know, a ton of money over the years. and now retiring, sold the business, and he's tuned it out. I don't care. I'm going to live the way I want to live. These Democrats are not going to tell me what to do, period. I'm going to live my life. I'm going to carry my guns. I'm going to own what I want. They can't tell me anything. They have no moral authority. And a lot of people in Virginia are tuning out. Let them do it. Divorce. Go. Get out. I'm sick of them. That's my Friday comment. I need to talk to somebody who's an assemblyman. There needs to be a name for it. I can't think of the name, but essentially what we have to have, and I don't know if we have the courage, because it's going to take courage, to put it forward, is we need every state to have an electoral college-type system. Of course, of course. Let's face facts. I mean, Illinois is the perfect example. Chicago and Cook County is a cancerous tumor on the state of Illinois. And it doesn't matter how much the rest of the, you know, all the southern counties of Illinois and the central counties of Illinois. But it doesn't matter what they do. They're going to be governed by the criminals in Cook County because they have they have their voter block. And this is that was all I mean, let's face facts. This was all done by design. The fact that Albuquerque in New Mexico is whoever wins Albuquerque controls the state. End of story. Right. So they designed it like that. They set the system up so that they don't need to. It's like it's pointless to go out to some rural county and campaign because you don't care about them anyway. You know, the person running for governor in in New Mexico doesn't need to go out to these little tiny rural counties. They just need to win Albuquerque. That's it. And, you know, ditto, Illinois and so forth. And there's no way that you're going to peaceably be able to fix these states. And look at Virginia, northern Virginia, rich men, you know, north south of Richmond or whatever. You know, the rich man, north of Richmond. Yeah. That's exactly what they've got. They've got this this voter block set up. And I mean, heck, look at Michigan. I was born in Michigan. And you only need two districts to control that entire state now. Yeah, well, you know, it's sad when we come back, ladies and gentlemen, we'll wrap that up. And then I want to go, well, to Canada transgenders. Wait till you hear how the police are treating the transgender killer in Canada It will shock you but it won We be right back This segment is brought to you by Attorneys on Retainer.

So time is always limited, and this is a short segment. So let's just jump over to Canada real quick. Oh, I do want to shout out Bill Lawrence in the chat, who I guess corrected me. I made it clear that it was some variation of the Led Zeppelin thing, but it was Keith Moon who made the comments, the drummer for The Who. It was a joke made by Keith Moon, who suggested that the band would go down like a lead balloon. Jimmy Page later adopted the name for his new band, which originally started out, of course, well, maybe a lot of people don't know this. I do, but it was the New Yardbirds. So, yeah, Jimmy Page, a monster on the guitar. So, hey, Bill, thanks for that. I do remember seeing that in the documentary, as I mentioned during the break. All right, Paul, let's go to Canada. Oh, this is utterly mind-boggling, guys. I sent you a picture. I saw it. That's where we're at. This is where we're at. This is so sad. Now, it's like it's it's we're living in psycho world. Yeah, it really is living in psycho world. We are. Canadian police are referring to the biological male who we talked about the other day, the transgender as they and the cop. I don't have the audio. I'm going to play it on Sunday for you. So make sure to tune in. They have the audio of him explaining the individual. We are using the pronouns. This person's a killer, this killer man, killer, the murderer. Oh, but that's okay. We don't want to offend his dead self, referring to him as they. In a press conference honoring the pronouns this killer suggested. I don't know how, it just is sick all the way around, but it gets even better, Paul. it's better than that better than a than a police chief saying they're going to respect the pronouns of a murderer it gets better i don't know how it gets better but go on you've heard of the rcmp right the royal canadian mounted police everybody knows who the rcmp is right they dress real pretty and stuff and got their horses and all that and they're the canadian gestapo the canadian The Royal Canadian Mounted Police described the suspect shooter as a blank in a presser on Tuesday's attack at Tumblr Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia. And you want to take a guess before I tell you what the word is? As a female. No. As a woman? It gets even better. It's even better. A gun person? Gun person. A gun person. Call for the win. They were a gun person. Not he was a killer. They were a gun person. This is sick. It is twisted. I don't want to live like this. I do not want to live under a political party that does it. We saw this with Biden. It's nonsense. We've had enough of it. I'm sick of it. Let them move behind their blue wall and get off my lawn. The older I get, the bigger and meaner that sign becomes, Paul. I am so fed up with this nonsense, and I know I'm not alone. Well, brother, all I have to say to your Canadian listeners is it's time. Anytime you want to take your country back, go ahead. Of course, the system has been set up for them not to be able to do that. Canada is the perfect example of the slow boil of the frog, you know, the death by arsenic. They are the death by arsenic. It's like, well, a little bit ain't going to kill you. No, but eventually it will. And when they allowed the, I don't know if it was the World Bank or whoever you want to call it, but when they allowed them to install Fidel Castro's bastard son as their prime minister, and then they kept that scumbag after he accused his own people of being terrorists. Let's never forget that. the truckers, the Canadian truckers, were called terrorists by their own prime minister. And their money was seized. Their bank accounts were seized. Their trucks were seized. Their livelihood was seized. They took it from them. For protesting against their criminal government. Well, he's Katy Perry's problem now, from what I understand. Well, he's all of Canada's problem. But that's what happens when you allow the World Bank to install. I mean, France did it. Australia did it. New Zealand did it. Germany did it. But, hey, I don't know what else to tell you other than it's way beyond time. And if you think the system is set up so it doesn't matter what you vote for or how you vote, that's how Illinois is set up that's what they're getting ready to do that's what they're getting ready to do in Virginia it doesn't matter what they're getting ready to do is take away the power of your vote and when they do that that is an unconstitutional power grab you are being taxed without representation you know you say because it is high time that something happened and I truly believe that this is going to occur this cannot continue this is not sustainable in this country I don't want to live with them. I don't want to. I'm tired of pretending. I'm sick and tired of pretending. I don't want your lifestyle. I'm not calling any male they. I'm not going to refer to someone as a gun person. And at some point in time, you're going to say, well, I'm not going to give you my money either. So how does that work? Guys, if you live near the border, anywhere in any border state in Virginia, shop across the border and don't give your tax money to the state of Virginia where you live. Quit giving them your revenue. Start there. Because what's going to happen is once Spanberger signs this, your vote makes no difference. They have literally written you out of the electoral process in the state of Virginia. Pure power grab. Unconstitutional. So the bottom line is, I ask you this question, what is your red line? Not my red line. I don't live in Virginia. What is your red line? Has it been crossed yet? I don't know what else it takes. Paul, I really truly don't. If you can leave, that's what I would tell you. If you can leave, you'd be better off leaving because they are literally destroying your right to vote. Paul, where can people find you? You've got 20 seconds. SOTGU.com. Use the promo code AAR.
