>> EACH DAY WE ARE REMINDED
THERE IS NOTHING GUARANTEED
ABOUT OUR DEMOCRACY.
NOTHING GUARANTEED ABOUT OUR WAY
OF LIFE.
WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR IT, DEFEND
IT, AND EARN IT BY VOTING.
>> Ashley: PRESIDENT BIDEN
FILES TO FIGHT AGAINST
GUN VIOLENCE AS SIX PEOPLE
KILLED AND DOZENS OTHERS HURT
DURING FOURTH OF JULY PARADE IN
ILLINOIS.
>> Griff: WESLEY HUNT RUNNING
FOR CONGRESS AND HERE TO REACT,
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU SAW
GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER TALKING
ABOUT THE TRAGEDY AND GOING
RIGHT TO TALKING ABOUT GUNS AS
WELL.
YOUR REACTION THIS MORNING.
>> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR HAVING ME ON.
OBVIOUSLY, MY THOUGHTS AND
PRAYERS ARE WITH THOSE WHO LOST
THEIR LOVED ONES AND INJURED IN
THOSE VICIOUS ATTACKS.
YESTERDAY, WE WERE ABLE TO
CELEBRATE OUR COUNTRY’S
BIRTHDAY.
WHENEVER OUR PEOPLE BESMIRCH
THAT BY TAKING THE LIVES OF
OTHER AMERICANS, YOU KNOW IT IS
ABSOLUTELY AN AWFUL THING
ESPECIALLY OVER THE COURSE OF
THE PAST YEAR.
BUT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THE IDEA
OF PROTECTING SECOND AMENDMENT
RIGHTS BUT UNDERSTANDING AND A
BAD GUY HAS A GUN AND WANTS TO
HURT INNOCENT PEOPLE, THEY ARE
HARD TO STOP.
SO WE HAVE TO KEEP THE GUNS OUT
OF THE HANDS OF THOSE PEOPLE
THAT WANT TO DO HARM TO OTHERS.
AT THE SAME TIME KEEP IN MIND
THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND
MOVING FORWARD TO.
>> Ashley: EVEN A DIFFERENT
SHOOTING THIS WEEKEND, HE BLAMES
THE VIOLENCE ON THE
SUPREME COURT AND AUTOMATICALLY
WENT BACK TO THAT.
WE INTERVIEWED 911 DISPATCHER IN
CHICAGO 30 MINUTES AGO.
HE SAID SOMETHING TO ME THAT
STOOD OUT.
HE SAID THIS IS BECOMING THE
NORM HERE THAT IS NOT GOOD.
HOW DO WE REVERSE THIS THOUGHT
PROCESS?
>> I THINK CERTAINLY THERE IS A
MENTAL ILLNESS PIECE OF THIS
CONVERSATION WE HAVE TO HAVE
NATIONWIDE.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE COME AGAIN
TO KEEP THE GUNS OUT OF THE
HANDS OF PEOPLE THAT SHOULD NOT
HAVE THEM HERE THIS WILL TAKE A
LOT OF TIME AND AN OVERVIEW IT’S
PROCESSED LIKE RED FLAG LOST
TRAMPLING ON OUR CONSTITUTION
AND TRAMPLING ON THOSE THAT WANT
TO HAVE PERSONAL PRIVATE PROPERT
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION
NATIONWIDE AND IT’S BEGUN.
AGAIN, THIS IS A TRAGIC DAY
CERTAINLY IN REGARDS TO THE FACT
WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR COUNTRY’S
BIRTHDAY AS WELL.
>> Griff: YOU TALK ABOUT THE
CONVERSATION, LESLIE, AND I
DON’T WANT TO GO BACKWARDS BUT
GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER STRUCK ME
BECAUSE ON 246TH BIRTHDAY OF OUR
NATION, THE FOUNDERS FOUGHT WITH
MUSKETS, NOT A SOUL TO RIFLES.
A HIGH POWERED ASSAULT RIFLE WAS
USED AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS IT,
BUT IS THAT THE ROLE OF
POLITICIANS NOW WHO SHOULD BE A
CONSOLER AT THE MOMENT?
WAS THAT THE WRONG CHOICE TO
TALK ABOUT THAT?
OR IS IT TIME TO HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION RIGHT IN THE MIDST
OF TRAGEDIES.
A FIGHTING FOR LIVES IN THE
HOSPITAL?
>> OF COURSE, THIS IS ACTUALLY
AN INTELLECTUALLY LAZY ARGUMENT.
THERE WAS A SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE
FOUNDING FATHERS TALKING ABOUT
FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
LET’S HAVE THAT CONVERSATION,
TOO.
WE NEED TO BE MORE CONSOLING OF
THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND
SHOW COMPASSION PARTICULARLY IN
THAT TIME YOU’RE IN A LOOK, I’M
A GUN OWNER AS WELL AND NEED TO
PROTECT MY FAMILY.
IT IS MY SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT
AND I GET IT I AM A MILITARY GUY
AND LIKE TO CARRY FIREARMS.
BUT I DON’T THINK THAT WE SHOULD
BE TAKING AWAY FIREARMS FROM
PEOPLE THAT SHOULD LEGALLY OWNED
THEM AS THE CONSTITUTION HAS
ALLOWED THEM TO TO DO SO.
>> Ashley: DH
SECRETARY ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS
CLAIMING OF THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING HARD
AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> I THINK THAT WE ARE DOING A
GOOD JOB, THE MIGRATION
OCCURRING THROUGHOUT THE
HEMISPHERE IS REFLECTED OF THE
ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, INCREASING
VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT THE REGION.
THE RESULT OF THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC.
THE RESULTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
>> Ashley: WOW, THEY ARE
TRYING TO PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS
AND BLAME EVERYTHING BUT
THEMSELVES, WESLEY.
>> THIS IS THE RESULT OF
ABSOLUTELY BAD POLICY THAT HAS
BEEN PASSED DOWN FROM THE
CURRENT ADMINISTRATION OVER THE
PAST YEAR.
WE HAVE AN OPEN BORDER POLICY.
WE HAVE ENOUGH FENTANYL TO KILL
EVERY AMERICAN FIVE TIMES.
WE HAVE BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE.
WE HAVE INFLATION, WE HAVE WATER
CRISIS, GAS, BUT EVERYTHING IS
BURNING TO THE GROUND.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT
HE WAS ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT.
EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE POOR
POLICY THAT HAS KILLED THIS
COUNTRY.
BUT GUESS WHAT, THIS IS WHY
PEOPLE ARE RUNNING FOR CONGRESS
BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE HECK OF A
MIDTERM AND RECOGNIZING THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT
SLEEPING.
WE WILL VOTE WITH THEIR
POCKETBOOKS.
KEEP THAT IN MIND OF THE LEVEL
OF INFLATION WE HAVE SEEN IN MY
LIFETIME IS THE HIGHEST IT HAS
EVER BEEN.
THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WILL NOT GET
THAT IN NOVEMBER.
>> WE SHALL SEE.
LET ME JUST GET ONE MORE TOPIC
AND HERE, WESLEY.
THANK YOU FOR GETTING UP EARLY
THIS MORNING.
>> NO PROBLEM.
>> Griff: KAMALA HARRIS,
LIKENING ROE V. WADE TO SLAVERY.
LISTEN.
>> WE HAVE HAD A HISTORY IN THIS
COUNTRY OF GOVERNMENT TRYING TO
PLAY OWNERSHIP OVER HUMAN
BODIES.
>> EXACTLY!
>> AND WE SUPPOSEDLY EVOLVED
FROM THAT.
>> Griff: YOUR REACTION.
>> LIKENING TO ROE V. WADE
OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE TO
SLAVERY IS LIKE APPLES TO
ORANGUTANS AND ABSOLUTELY LAZY.
LET’S KEEP IN MIND THAT
ONE-THIRD OF ALL ABORTIONS ARE
AT THE HANDS OF BLACK WOMEN YET
WE ONLY REPRESENT 13% OF THE
POPULATION.
IN NEW YORK CITY, MORE ABORTED
BLACK BABIES THEN WERE BORN LAST
YEAR.
IF WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE,
LET’S TALK ABOUT SOCIETY THAT
MAY BE COMFORTABLE WITH A
PARTICULAR GROUP OF PEOPLE NOT
ALLOWED ON THIS EARTH AT THE
SAME RATE AS EVERYONE ELSE.
I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A TOUGH
TOPIC BUT THAT IS WHY IT WAS
OVERTURNED.
THESE TOPICS HAVE GOT TO BE
DISCUSSED AT THE LOCAL AND STATE
LEVEL.
TALK ABOUT SLAVERY, MY GREAT,
GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS A.
MY GREAT-GRANDSON IS A
UNITED STATES CONGRESSMAN IN
PREDOMINANTLY WHITE DISTRICT.
WHY MUST YOU MARK WE HAVE MADE
PROGRESS.
WE MAKE STRONG ARGUMENTS ABOUT
SLAVERY BUT WE CHEAPENED THE
PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY WENT
THROUGH SLAVERY.
IT HAS ABSOLUTELY GOT TO STOP.
AGAIN, IT IS INTELLECTUAL
LAZINESS, DOG WHISTLING AND IT
HAS TO STOP.
>> Griff: I’M A CANDIDATE FOR
