Speaker 1 (00:00):
From Great Lakes Gun rights are good. Friend Brendan Boudreau
with the latest over the weekend. Like I said, well,
we were sort of lulled into a Turkey coma Whitmer
the turkey herself decides to stuff this nonsense down our
Gullet's the latest, folks just heard about with the report
from the Midwestern or today, Yeah, Phillis in Man. There
was so much going on last week. I wanted to
(00:21):
make sure we got to this, so I'm glad we
could do it today.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, good morning, justin yeah, just in time for the holidays.
Governor Whitmer decides to reveal her next gun grab and
of course, you know it's it's for our health. That's
that's the new building and this is nothing new. Gun
grabbers across the country. The Biden administration try to take
the anti gun agenda. You know, you can go to
(00:46):
any of these gun control group's websites just copy and
paste and say this is for public health. And that's
exactly what the Governor Whitmer's and v ajhs did here.
You know, they took the gun the anti gun agenda
and said well now this is for this for public health.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
You know how long ago. Was it ago? Just five
years ago?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Now where the governor was declaring all sorts of emergency
edicts from the Governor's office for for the sake of
our health. Now you know, now she's got her new
excuse if you want to do anything by executive fiat.
But even more so, this is pretty clear what the
Democrat agenda is going to be in twenty twenty six. Uh,
they if they take back complete control of Lansing.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
You know, it's interesting because this this this whole issue
of this public health threat. We we've i just like
that we've seen this come in a few years back,
and remember talking about this specifically. I mean, this isn't
anything new, is it.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
No? This is this is this is something a play
that they've been trying for years.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Uh. You know, the Democrats, either to the Biden administration
Whitmer we've seen in other states. They'll create these gun
violence prevention task force forces, and then they'll get all
these supposed healthcare experts and uh, psychologists and all these
other various you know, social social worker degrees and all
(02:13):
these other types of experts, and they'll basically cook up
for themselves an agenda that includes unsurprisingly every single thing
that the that the gun band agenda wants, you know,
assault weapons, bands, magazine bans.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Now in Michigan, they want to make it make it
so that if you have a CPL concealed a pistol license,
you have to go through two background checks in order
to purchase a firearm. They're calling that a loophole that
if you have a CPL, you can go buy a
gun without having to go through another background check. So,
you know, this is just more of the more of
the same from this administration. Of course, they use the
(02:51):
horrific shooting at Michigan State to ram through red flag
gun confiscation, universal permitted to purchase, and the manage meditatory
storage laws.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
But that's never enough. You know, that's they're never satisfied.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You know, if if you ask an ask an anti
gun Democrat, of course, that's kind of repeating myself nowadays.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
You know, if you ask a Democrat if there's a
form of gun control that they want to support, you're
just gonna get blanks there at them, because they support
our reform and fashion.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Of gun control. Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There there is not a version of gun control that
they they would not support this point and all we
have to do is look at you know, their claims.
On its face, well, we're not going after law binding
gun owners, we're just going after criminals. Yet look at
so many of these proposals, they are squarely aimed at
law body gun owners here in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, what's what's wild about this too? As you mentioned,
it's kind of like they're this this latest assault weapon,
which again is the whole weird thing in itself. Explain
what that is? Tell us what that is? Yeah, well,
you know, just weapons they don't like they look, they
look scary. Is that is that?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
What if?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
What if? Well, you know, there's there's this there's a
great clip of Biden binding appointing to the a c
F who was asked to find an assault weapon and
he couldn't and he said, well, I'm not an expert.
It's like, well, if you, who are trying to be
the you know, the head of the ATF can't describe
or define what an assault weapon is, then who then
who defines what it is? And of course what it is.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah. Their their goal is to ban.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Semi automatic firearms, you know, and that includes uh, you know, hey,
Michigan ers, that includes your honey rifles.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You know, there's there's a meme that I saw, you know,
a couple of years ago, says they're not going to
ban your honting rifles.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
They're going to call a sniper rifle first and then
bam it. That's that's what they do.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
They play games with terms and and then phrases and
they make it sound scary and then they ban it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
What do folks need to do? I mean, obviously people
lots of folks in this audience support you guys and
have been for a long time. Great Lakes Gun Rights
Uh the website Great lakesgun Rights dot org. Brennan the
founding founder and executive director. There you guys are pushing for.
I would say a common sense approaches for the legislature
(05:08):
to consider what I think most folks here in Michigan
would consider, Like I said, common sense, But unfortunately nowadays
we don't see a lot of it's not as common
as we as we'd like to see. But what what
what are the ways that folks I'm obviously speak up,
you know, call these are all the things we're used to,
(05:30):
But what particularly do people need to know and do
about this this?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
This?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, I think I think people need to look at
the twenty twenty six election cycle and see what's really
on at risk in twenty twenty six. The Democrats in
twenty twenty three, after winning the twenty twenty two election
with a single seat majority in the House and you know,
one or two seat majority, and the Senate ram through
red flag gun confiscation, universal smit's purchase. What do you
(05:56):
think they're going to do if they get complete control
and seeing in twenty twenty six again, they've made it
clear with this DAHHS document, and you need to realize
that even though Jocelyn Benson didn't you know, didn't come
out sharing this report necessarily, you better believe she subscribes
to it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Same thing with Mike Duggan, you know, somehow is he somehow.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
He's an independent now, but he's a Democrat that's you know,
subscribed to the Democrat talking points on guns as far
as I can tell. So, and realize that if they
get complete control again in twenty twenty six, this will
be their agenda. Gun bans, magazine vans, more gun free zones,
and make it harder for you to defend yourself and
(06:37):
your families and frankly should be a wake up call
for the Republican Party in Michigan too.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
That now is not the time to come and fear.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now is the time to stand boldly for something, to
stand up for the Second Amendment that they all campaign on,
and realize that there's a lot at risk in this
next election cycle.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You know, I'm not one to say this is the
most important election.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Of our of our lifetimes, but boy, this one seems
pretty heavy for the for the future of our state.
We're seeing what you know, the left is doing to
states like Virginia. You know, they're they're loaded for bear Democrats.
They are probably going to be going for an assault
weapons ban next year at not worse, and and we've
seen what they did in Colorado and they're going to
run the same playbook here in Michigan if we're not
(07:21):
prepared for it. So people need paying attention, be very
involved in twenty twenty six is not a cycle to
take off.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
You know, you're you're absolutely right, Brennon what I've been saying,
and I'll I'll just get your take on this. But
like as important as twenty twenty four was for the
rest of the country, that's what i'm I'm I consider
the significance for Michigan in twenty twenty six. I mean,
it's just it's it's the chance to get things back
(07:50):
on track here. And if we're not serious about it,
I mean, we could lose a state for decades.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, I mean, that's that's absolutely true.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And that's that's a sad fact, is that you know,
we all want to raise our families here. We want
to you know, we love Michigan. There's a reason that
we're here. But you know, if we take this next
election off and you look at twenty twenty two, what
happened then twenty eighteen, it's it's been a disastrous few
election cycles for Michigan. I mean, thank the Lord, we
have this brief reprieve here when divided government in Michigan.
(08:24):
But you know, we need to make sure that we're
we're shown up at our a game in twenty twenty six,
and that includes the activists, you know, to make sure
that you know, we're getting to find out where these
politicians really stand on these issues, and that we're also
holding you know, discipline starts at home. We should expect
conservatives and Republicans who are running for office to take
(08:44):
fold stances in support of our right to keep bear
arms and Republicans should.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Not take owners for granted on that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You know, we've had Republicans here in Michigan the last
few years vote for gun control. That's inexcusable and we
should expect more from them, especially in the face in
the danger that we're facing with the new face of
the anti anti gun Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You know, they're coming for it all and we need
to be prepared for that.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Hey, great question over on Getner from Dan who says
has Great Lakes gun rights endorsed a candidate for governor
or will you do that at some point?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
We have not, You know, we are it's very early
in the process here. But what you can start doing
is look at the records of the people that are running.
You know, for example, you've got Tom Leonard, he was
former Speaker of the House in the Michigan House of Representatives.
He's the only Speaker of the House who brought constitutional
carry up for a vote back in twenty seventeen, where
it passed. You know, we are one one chamber away
(09:41):
and the governor's signature away from from removing the requirement
to have a permit to carry concealed or open in
the state of Michigan. There are now twenty nine states
that have that as well in the books, and Tom
Leonard pushed out through the House. Eric Nesbitt, he's co
sponsored constitutional carry in the Senate, and he voted against
all gun control since he's been the Senate minority leader.
(10:04):
You know, John James, he's been a mixed bag. You know,
he returned our national survey before, but he's been quite
more quiet and mum on the gun issue of late,
and that has us concern. If you're running for the
Republican nomination these quote unquote pro gun party and you
can't seem to mention anything about the governor's anti gun
(10:25):
agenda that she just released last week, that's problematic and
that's that's a concern. If if the candidates are remaining
quiet about what Governor Whitmer just said last week, that's
a tell. That's a tell that they see the gun
rights issue as non important or at worse, they see
it as something they don't want to deal with. So
that's where it's important for us, As you know, Great
(10:45):
Leags gun rights. We're going to be surveying all these
candidates and find out where they stand on these issues,
and we're asking them also the pledge that they're they're
going to work to repeal Whitmer's gun control regime and
they're going to actively work to restore our rights because
it's not enough just to pay lip service.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
We got to see.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Brendan Boudreau, founder and executive director of Great Lakes Gun
Rights Great Lakes gun Rights dot org. Always the privilege
and a pleasure, my friend. Thank you so much for
being here with us today.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
