Welcome to the Live To Shootpodcast.
My name is Jeff Doddle, and Ihave been a licensed fire and
dealer live for the last 18years.
In this podcast, we talk aboutall things related to amendment.
Anything else going on in theworld, a sports story, or
anything else that I might findinteresting, so welcome,
welcome, welcome.
And what a week it has been,President Trump took office on
Monday, the inaugurationhappened on Monday, I don't know
(00:37):
if you got to see it, I watcheda good bit of it in the morning,
all the way up to him escortingBiden, to his helicopter, to get
out of Dodge, and it was a, itwas a great thing, his speech
was amazing, he came outpunching.
And then following all thefestivities he got to work.
Trump got to work and he startedissuing his executive orders
(01:00):
and, and coming true on hispromises.
A good number of the promisesthat he had made on the camping
trail.
He, he issued right out thegate.
So, I mean, his first you know,set of executive orders were
first.
He, he started naming hiscabinet.
And then he went and he issuedan executive order of rescinding
(01:20):
all these harmful executiveorders that Biden had done in
his last few weeks.
I mean, I went through the listof them.
There's about 50 of them.
Then he did a restoring freedomof speech and ending federal
censorship executive order.
Basically said that the U.
S.
government was not going to bein the business of pressuring
you know, online platforms and,and other methods to censor and,
(01:43):
He didn't control people's freespeech anymore.
He gave that back to us.
He issued an executive orderending the weaponization of the
federal government again.
You know, getting thesedifferent agencies away from
attacking our citizens andweaponizing it for political
purposes.
He issued a return to work forgovernmental employees.
(02:03):
He issued a hiring freeze forthe executive branch that they
could not go and fill anyopenings which is a great he
then the big one that he didthat was his longest promises is
he pardoned the J Sixers.
And that was controversial, buthe did it.
He put a temporary ban on theTikTok banning the TikTok ban.
(02:24):
He withdrew us from the WorldHealth Organization.
All sorts of things.
And this is just within thefirst few hours of his
presidency.
He declared a national emergencyat the southern border.
He declared drug cartels as Asterrorist, and that's
(02:45):
interesting because that thencan allow us to use the military
to potentially execute raids onthe cartels in Mexico.
If they don't do, do startplaying ball with us.
He unleashed unleashing AmericanInjury and he started, you know,
Drill Baby Drill.
He started securing our borders.
He did a putting people overfish executive order where he
(03:08):
charged the secretary of theinterior and to, to figure out a
way to get more water into intoCalifornia.
And, you know, where in the pastenvironmental issues have been
in the, in the way of it.
Yeah.
He declared, you know, we have anational emergency with Eric
(03:29):
national energy emergency.
He he issued another variety ofpardons.
He He established DOJ, that's abig one and put that on board.
He in his speech, he said, youknow, that there are two
genders, and he issued anexecutive order to that and he
also ended affirms of actionhiring in the federal government
(03:52):
to going back to a merit based,uh, process.
He changed the name of DOJ.
Mount Denali back to MountMcKinley, and the Gulf of Mexico
to Gulf of America.
That is just a bold move, and,and shows how, you know, we're,
we're going back for Americangreatness.
The the pardoned Russ Ulbrich,who was the founder of the Silk
(04:17):
Road online site that was usedfor a variety of purposes but
he, it was, you know but a lotof it was used for illicit
purposes drugs and things likethat, and Ross, Ross, Ross had
gotten two licenses plus 40years for his involvement in
that.
He gave him a full pardon onthat he you know, started an
(04:37):
entire AI initiative which We'lltalk about that later at some
point.
So, I mean, he has come outswinging, and he has kept his
promises, you know.
And that's the one thing I'vealways said about President
Trump, is that he kept hispromises, and he did what he
could in his first term.
Considering all the roadblocksthat were put up in his way.
(04:57):
So now, and we've gotten, youknow, we're off to a pretty good
start.
We've got Rubio was alreadyconfirmed as Secretary of State,
so we are getting his cabinetput in place pretty quickly.
Pete Hexhus got past his firststep, so he should be getting
confirmed here pretty soon.
Pat Bondy should be pretty soon,and then we're gonna have the,
you know, the FBI and all thoseother, uh, Robert Kennedy Jr.,
(05:22):
oh, and that's the other thing,he declassified the records
pertaining to the assassinationsof John F.
Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Dr.
Martin Luther King.
Those should be some interestingreads so.
This president works.
They are getting things done.
And that is important to note.
So it's been a big week.
(05:42):
A big week in our country.
We feel like we are on our pathagain.
A lot of work to do.
A lot of work still to do.
We've got to start implementingthese executive orders are one
thing, but we still have toknock down the administrative
barriers that are in place.
Now the one thing that reallyhasn't come up in this first
week is anything regardingfirearms.
(06:02):
You know, that is still a to bedetermined.
And we will have to see whereall that lands.
You know, we've got questionsabout Panbandi but we will
definitely keep our eye on that.
You know, the President has seta proper tone, at least for this
government, and that is that weare going back to respecting our
Constitution and being free,unlike Joe Biden, who, on the
(06:24):
last day of his pregnancy, hepardoned his entire family.
And the story is that He wrotethe the pardons out on the 19th,
but they didn't get actuallypublished until 1130 on the
20th.
That is when everybody, JoeBiden, all of them were seated
in the Capitol during theinauguration.
(06:45):
He did not want President Trumpknowing about that because
President Trump would havecalled him out in his speech,
but he, he's, you know, whypardon people?
It's his, his brothers.
Sister in laws everybody thatwas in his direct, his sons
children as well.
So it was a crime family andthey've been put, put down.
(07:08):
And so it will be interesting tosee what happens going forward.
You know, he pardoned you know,the J6 committee, Liz Cheney.
And, and, and.
Millie and all of those folks soyou know, there's still
questions we need to get answersto and that's one thing I'm
gonna keep an eye out because inthe past we've kind of let
things you know, thesegovernment people commit these
(07:33):
Actions these criminal actionsand then once we move them out
of office, we kind of like, oh,that's okay Let's just forget
about that.
Let's go, move forward.
These people have been gettingpardons.
But I still want to know whathappened.
We need to bring it into lightso it doesn't happen again.
And that people know that theyare being, that it is
unacceptable.
And that this is America and weare, we are governed by a
(07:56):
constitution that instillsfreedoms and rights to every
individual.
And that you can't just createthis rogue government to
investigate and put your enemiesin jail.
And that is what happened.
And now Biden has gone alongtrying to pardon all the people
that he, that was involved.
But it's not going to completelyprotect them.
So, it'll be an interestingtime.
(08:17):
So, nothing on the SecondAmendment this week.
We will be watching it.
The SHOT Show is going on inVegas.
That's always a good time.
Might be posting my newsletter,maybe some stories coming out of
the SHOT Show.
So again, if you haven'tsubscribed to my newsletter,
subscribe to it.
And Otherwise, I will bewatching the Chiefs play the
Bills anxiously to see if we cango back for our third straight
(08:38):
Super Bowl this week.
Great week, and have a greatone.
