Nick Reed PODCAST 06.23.22 - Gun Control & Blaming Gas Stations For Prices
Hour 1 - Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: President Biden was accused of demonizing working-class service station owners when he demanded they reduce the price they are charging for gas. After Senators released the text of their new gun bill — the "Bipartisan Safer Communities Act" — on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) rushed to hold the first procedural vote on the legislation within an hour of the text going public and before many senators had a chance to digest the full 80-page bill. Tuesday night's vote prevailed 64 to 34, but the speed with which Schumer moved to a vote drew the ire of those who prefer to study legislation before voting on it, including Senator Josh Hawley who voted "no." A new survey shows that most independent and Republican voters believe that the government would ultimately abuse “red flag” laws.
