3:28:24 Alex, it's an honor. I wanted to speak on the pardon. I am a convicted felon and I'm proud of my past, but I was a drug, a druggy and got ended up in prison at 19, lost my gun, right? Along with everything. Um, they were restored to me after, you know, doing my time and everything I needed to. And, uh, After that, I built a family and wanted my kids. I grew up out in the woods hunting, fishing, all that. And now not having my right to bear arms is kind of a soreness towards me. I tried to apply to get it back actually and ran into all sorts of hurdles. But I can speak to that. I can speak to- Sure, just to recap, people that just tuned in, Trump is set
3:29:16 to officially effectively repeal the 68 gun control act by mass pardons of any convicted felon that is non-violent. I think it's a great idea and they're codifying the plan right now. I was told that by high-level people yesterday. That's awesome. I hope it happens. I'm also, this would be my second pardon. I happen to be at the Capitol January 6th and went through that hell and they actually tried using my past against me, but they couldn't. I actually won Anyhow, I plaid out, that's a long story, but I'm just really grateful and just called in to be on. Liberty is alive and well, and I think God's in the process of redeeming the time, and I'm claiming that for me and my family and my household. And I would just encourage all patriots out there to just press into God and fight. Fight for your family and fight. Fight for this country and fight for our freedoms. Beautifully said, sir. Thank you. And again, I've even told a few of my pro-Trump conservative friends, but
3:30:20 They're not super hardcore about this yesterday and today privately. And a couple of them are like, man, that's gonna be bad PR, giving pardons to nonviolent felons. And I was like, I think I'll just give it to everybody. I mean, a real hardcore criminal that's not reformed and is gonna have recidivism, they're not gonna follow a law when they're already a felon. But the way the laws have been written, all the innocent people and the crap we've seen, and you know cases where the EPA, that's on the news, Ted Asia was talking about it earlier, they gave him a felony charge and he couldn't fight it with the money, it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so he pled to it for having an old muffler on his
3:31:09 Tractor and that's the laws they put it federally now. They're arresting people that get caught using Freon for God's sakes. It does nothing to the environment. So, they want to put you in jail in the future under the regulations they try to push through if you've got a, if you get caught repairing a rain stove. I mean, California, what in 2030, it's going to get repealed. Banning the sale of gasoline cars, banning the sale of RVs. I mean, come on people. Next they're going to say they're going to arrest you if you're driving one. They're making normal activity illegal. So I'm gonna say it again, do you think MS-13 are any of these people? Do you think they follow the gun laws? No, they're here illegally, they're committing felonies all day long. So I personally think you served your time and you're gonna legally go out and get a gun? I mean, I'm sorry, you serve your time. You serve your time for murder, 20 years.
3:32:10 Okay, it's not premeditated. We'll say manslaughter. You get out and you don't get to have a gun. You get out with no money, nothing, and you're gonna be living in some slum and you don't get a gun? And then people get a gun and then they get back in prison for it. And then a lot of times criminals, you know, just try and try and try. I'm not defending him. I know the psychology and I've studied real criminology and reform. You need an economy, you need jobs, you need social groups that help these criminals get in and stop being criminals and they need Christianity and they need all that stuff. No, they've turned these prisons into colleges of crime. But you get psychos and nuts and scammers and gang members, you can see them. They're thugs, they're evil, they're not reforming. They think it's cool to be a thug. Well,
3:32:59 You're not gonna affect them by them getting out after a decade in jail and okay, I'm a psychotic just because there's a log that's been having a gun. No, only the good people get barred by these laws. So this is how our country ran until 68. So if you say you're an American folks, this is how it works. And so People need to get it. Okay, it's like the first amendment. Well, I believe in it, but you shouldn't be able to say the N-word. Give me a break. I don't want to say something mean to somebody and probably get in a fight, might get my ass kicked. I don't want to call a black person name, put them down. But the point is they make that the ultimate crime, but then black people can call you all names they want. Just grow up everybody. Just grow up. Somebody calls you a crackerhead, whatever. Somebody calls you an N-word, whatever.
3:33:56 You got more self-respect than that some person to say that to you. They're obviously stupid. I mean, you know, it ain't like black people on average are exactly wimps. And so somebody's calling you the N word. They're probably crazy. Some black person, I've had crazy black people call me cracker head and stuff. I'm just going, okay, because I mean, what does that mean to me? I'm my own person. Just cause you call me a honky ass cracker or whatever. Okay. Looks like I gotta feel sorry for you. Must've been brought up by bad people. But I gotta tell you growing up in Texas, I never heard the N-word, I never heard anybody say it, I never heard... It was seen as trashy and that you were looking down on people because of what color they were that you would say that. And it didn't mean people were happy about racist black people attacking white people. No, it's like, yeah, no, there's some black people that are racist and dumbed down and think white people owe them everything. So you need to be, you know, but a lot of black folks are great. So you just need to judge people by how, who they are, what they stand for.
3:34:55 But I don't care if I have to pull over on a road trip at midnight at a gas station in some bad city. You can see white thugs, Hispanic thugs, black thugs. You all see how they look. You know who they are. You know, it's not their color. It's their bearing, how they're walking, what they're doing. You pull up at a gas station in the middle of the night, there's a black family or a white family sitting there doing their, you're not scared because they're black or they're whatever. I mean, it's that simple, folks. You know what thugs look like. They come in all colors. And that's why when I've got to go on a road trip and I'm out there, I got a gun in my pocket. I'm not looking for trouble or anything, but you know, I'm not gonna sit there and bring my fist to a gunfight. If somebody pulls a gun on me, I'm gonna jerk mine and I'm gonna kill them. All right, let's go ahead and talk to Strauss in Oregon. You're on the air, go ahead.
