1:00Welcome home. Thanks. Been a good trip. Been a good week, man. Yeah, you were off all week. What a week we had. Well, yeah, well, you haven't asked me how I had to tell everybody how many cups of black out coffee I had all week. I wasn't used to that. So before we get into all that and I set the show up for you because we have a good one lined up for you. I'll let you tell everybody where we are, where they can participate in the chat and all that good stuff. And I'll explain what's going on here live in real time for our listeners and our viewers.

I'm on my second couple black out coffee and I've got it sitting right here in front of you. Okay, save you that right there. I just made it a few minutes ago. And so the 1776 roast, it's very good.

2:00You can check it out at blackoutcoffee.com slash AAR. So here is what we had scheduled for the first half of the first hour of the program today. And that was Demetrio Daga. Greg, you remember Demetrio Daga? I do. Demetrio was here. What about a month ago with his attorney? Yeah, about a month. Yeah. I'm going to say it was in that vicinity. You lose track of time. It was about a month ago. And Demetrio was facing trial. Now, Demetrio, let me just give you a backstory here, ladies and gentlemen, about what's going on here and let you know that live in real time. Demetrio is attempting to call the program and the number that he is calling to get to our studios is being restricted from where he is. And he cannot get a hold of it. And we are live now. And there's not much I can do about that at this moment in time for obvious reasons. So I'm going to try to work on this during the break Demetrio. If you are tuned in, we are working on this behind the scenes to see if we can get you in for that second half of the segment. We can't give numbers out live on the air again for obvious reasons. But I want to read to you, ladies and gentlemen, from the Albany County District Attorney,

3:02Albany Man convicted for 3D printing personal arsenal, personal arsenal. This is, you know, Albany County, New York, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening, you're tuned in at Albany, New York, you're listening to us up in Albany for 3D printing personal arsenal. Albany County District Attorney, Lee C. Kindlin announced today, and this is back on what date I believe just last week. About two weeks ago, I guess, Albany County District Attorney, Lee C. Kindlin announced today that a 44 year old Albany man who was found to be 3D printing a vast array of firearms in his home that he had no legal permits for has been convicted after a jury trial. So Greg Demetrio was convicted. Rob reached out to me to let me know that he was, I was following this while the jury was deliberating. They were not out long. They did convict him. Demetrio Daga was found guilty after a seven day trial on all 15 counts of a grand jury

4:06indictment, one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, three counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and nine counts of criminal possession of a firearm. Hey, Mark, yes, I'm sorry. We've got Demetrio via third party. If you want to go to him, I've got him on the phone. Let's do that. Let's bring him in right now. Demetrio is coming to us from the Albany County Correctional Facility, and I want to thank him for his tenacity. Demetrio, can you hear me? Okay. Hey, Mark, how are you? I'm doing wonderful. I was just reading for our listeners, Demetrio, the district attorneys, the Albany County District Attorney's Statements from their web page about the Albany man who is you convicted for 3D printing personal arsenal Demetrio seven day trial. You were convicted on all 15 counts on that grand jury indictment, and you are calling us now from the Albany County Correctional Facility, correct? Yes, sir.

5:07All right. Do you want to take the mic and tell us you went through the trial. I was following it as the jury was deliberating and then found out about two hours later because I was on air that they had reached a verdict that you were in fact convicted. So what's the prognosis? Let me just ask you that. What's next? I'm sure. So I am a waiting sentence on a 20A. So I'll be in the Albany County Correctional Facility until we've done not sure how that's going to go. The trial itself, you know, a lot of concerning things that occurred right along with the judges' instructions that we want to have to talk about certain things to the jury that may have helped that decision, you know, particularly we weren't allowed to discuss the fact that I was facing any kind of prison time or, you know, all of the consequences would have

6:08been. So these people could have thought I might have been doing a fine or probation, you know, which ironically when I went through a pre-sentencing interview with the Albany County Correctional Department, they put forth a pretty extensive 16-page report to the judge on their recommendation, prepushment. And that ended with them concluding that I should face no prison time whatsoever and should get probation only given the lack of criminal history or criminal activity. And that was kind of tossing aside. That was pretty concerning. Some of the other things that happened in there, you know, we had the troopers were giving us different versions of stories and getting caught in lies on the stand. Every time they would get caught alive on my attorney, Kevin O'Brien, they would get shut down. One of the more concerning ones was in the Warren application, they stated that they had

7:09been diligently following me and observing going to a smoke shop in Albany and then for Duncan Donuts and then they lost me following me somewhere. The smoke shop that they had sworn they saw me go into, I didn't see his and dad lock by New York State Office of Canada's Management and Force, but the division six months before they say they saw me go in there. So we brought the people worked out for that seizure order to the investigator who wore his song and go in and then it became, oh, well, I didn't actually see him go in. I was driving by and then I see what you're trying to do here, you're calling me a liar. And this is the investigator on the stand. Pretty concerning stuff and the judge shutting us down at every opportunity, you know, every time we'd get caught in a lie, we would get shut down. That was pretty concerning. Yeah, I mean, I can't even imagine Demetriar real quick.

8:10What was going through your mind and what you were feeling at that time when you knew that what they were telling you was false and here you are facing what in New York is heavy charges at work. You know, we're going to keep going with you. We've got you for the other segment. I do want to point out when we come back from the break, I want to read from a ruling in Delaware district about ghost guns, quote unquote, ghost guns, which is their whole deal here because you would not have been convicted in other states. But again, this is New York. So at this point in time, you're now sitting where you are. Are you feeling good based on what you're telling us down the road for a possible retrial and appeal? But here you are in jail. Wait a waiting charge or waiting for sentencing. Yeah. It's not an ideal situation. You know, but I'm trying to make the best of it. I can. One of the things I may be surprising for people to hear me say considering the circumstances but when I was coming in, I was extremely nervous. I've never been to trouble before like that and I'm not spending any time really in jail

9:14at all. Right. I was concerned about not just the innate, but what would the guards be like? I have a new found respect for what the men and women do here. Again, I may be difficult for people here, but the level of insanity that these men and women deal with on a daily basis and then have to go home for their families. It blows my mind. I've seen some things in my 44 years, but this is. It takes a cake. I'm sure it does. And what they're trying to make what they're trying to do to you is worse. What are you being told right now as far as potential sentencing if everything stays equal to where it is right now? What are you facing here on these quote unquote 15 counts of the ghost gun personal? Apparently. Apparently, I'm facing 40 years in prison. Good Lord.

10:17And as it stands now, is it possible you could be given probation based on this? Is that a possibility here? I don't think that's likely given to judges comments. And given where you are mentioned even prior to trial. You know, all right, Demetri, we're getting ready. We're getting ready to take a break when we come back, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to keep going. We've got Demetri O'Dogga, who you heard on the program pre trial. Now he's here post trial and he is calling us from the Albany County Correctional Facility. We'll be back with Demetri, oh, this very sad story right after this. Don't go away. The following segment of Armed American Radio is probably being brought to you by the National Rifle Association. Help us defend freedom by visiting nra.org slash a a r and join today.

11:19Welcome back to the show. Yeah, welcome back to the show, ladies and gentlemen, National Rifle Association rejoiner. You need to join us at the NRA if you haven't yet. Lots of victories and more to talk about. And more will be coming. The NRA has their hand in every single one of them, National Rifle Association. Of course, can be found at nra.org slash a a r. We make it real easy for you. One year, $35. It's that simple. I want to give you a quick heads up. It will first of all, you can find the NRA and all of our great partners, including a couple of new ones over at armedamericanradio.com.org. We've got you covered coming up in the next half hour. We're very honored and proud to have Tate Adamiak join us for his first and what will not be his last appearance on the armedamerican radio network, national radio broadcast. Of course, he was just pardoned last week by President Donald Trump and released from a 20 year sentence. And we're going to talk with Tate and we're proud and honored to do that. In the meantime, let's get back to Demetrio Daga, who finds himself in the Albany County Correctional Center with New York State prosecutors going after him hard core. Demetrio, we've got you for another segment.

12:23Some of the things that Greg and I were talking about the break. I just want to let you know we were talking about how right now level headed you sound and I hope you stay that way. You have a lot of support on the outside. You do know that, right? I want to make sure that you're aware of that. I think that's important. You know. Yes, sir. Absolutely. Thank you. I think part of the point of this whole situation, they are trying to break me. They're trying to make me give up. And I'm here to tell you, sir, no uncertain terms that is not happening. I'm in the fight. I realize that my purpose here may be larger than just getting out of here. You know, this is really to restore the rights of other New Yorkers, not just mine. Then I'm in the fight. I'm we're not back and down. We have a bigger legal team assembled now that I don't know how much I can get into but the strategy is solid and it's going to be going hard.

13:24We're not giving up that. I don't want you to give any details away and I'm not going to ask you any questions that would do so. I want you to keep that down. I don't want anything that you say here to be able to be used against you at some point in a sentencing hearing or anything else that happens because there's obviously the sentencing hearing. When did you say the sentencing was to me, trail? Sure. That's going to be October 28th. Okay. So October 28th, you've got to sit there and wonder and I know you're keeping busy while you're there. You mentioned in the previous segment that you do not expect that the judge in this particular case is going to want to show any leniency whatsoever. Is that your feeling on that based on what you saw? Based on some of the behavior and trial and statements that were made. I unfortunately don't think it's likely that this is going to end in any kind of terrible way for me, at least in the, you know, in the conviction kind of it.

14:26You know, but that doesn't mean that there aren't things that we can't talk about. I mean, the biggest concern for me are the flat out lies under oaths that these investigators pay. And it wasn't just about the warrant application stuff. You kind of, you know, use of block cameras, which, you know, top-lit niches, you know, I don't like to about that. We were given four different positions during the trial about the use of block cameras. Now nothing in the discovery that we received included any kind of flock footage or class or anything like that. Three days before the trial started, that website launched have I been flocked.com and I happened to spend in my plate and some family members plates and long hold. They were actually used. I'm sure. Yeah. Kind of a more concerning thing is it wasn't just on me. It was on my father-in-law, my mother, my brother, my wife.

15:29And alarming is they used the flock cameras or bail my wife. Like five times me who was the part of the investigation. So for instance, I was viewed on four devices or 400 minutes across 500 devices. My wife who had nothing to do with anything in my case, her plate was viewed 1200 minutes on 24,000 devices. Yeah, you know, that's alarming. It's extremely alarming. And that's a topic that we covered on the program a couple weeks back that we're going to stay on. I'm working with a young woman here in my neck of the woods. That's a real true warrior on this flock deal. And it is incredibly alarming to be honest with you. And the more we'll come out about that, but states like New York, they love these things, man. They're tyrants. That's that's me saying that. And you know, okay. Yeah. You know, I'm saying it, okay.

16:30That was quite an interesting situation. I've never heard of a district attorney who's immune with the ability to put people in prison and get their freedom going after a case that hadn't even said anything. It wasn't even involved in the interview. So you know, a lot of that stuff too. It almost felt like a high school argument. I mean, except it's not. I listen, we can hear the background. We can, I can, I can, we can hear where you are and what you're having to deal with. And it's not fun. And I, my heart breaks from you. No. Now, let me point this out. Ladies and gentlemen, the US District Court, Delaware District Court, found that the ban on making possessing ghost guns, unconstitutional, you're sitting in jail right now in New York for

17:33what other courts are finding to be unconstitutional. That is likely when it's all said and done going to be found to be unconstitutional in the long run. But that's not helping you right now. No, it's not unfortunately. And you know, hey, I didn't think that it would get this out of control with the lying and some of the conduct that occurred. But you know, even during the trial, we asked about the clock footage. We were given four different answers. First, the prosecutor essentially had to check on it and came back and said, oh, they didn't use them, but they didn't keep any records. Then an investigation here gets up there and says, oh, I don't know if it was used or it might have been used by the requested and we didn't keep any records. Then their civilian analyst gets up there who's never been a police officer or investigator or any sort. And he gets up there and he says, oh, yeah, I got a request by email and then I hanged the footage to another investigator. And then that investigator who you said he knows who gets up there and goes, no, I never

18:36sent any emails or saw any emails about it. Somebody else did it. So it was like a bunch of like, you know, that moon with the spider man's all pointing at each other. Yeah. Yeah. Meanwhile, your freedom is on the line. Meanwhile, they're coming after you to take your freedom away from you. And I just want to ask real quick, how was your wife and family doing right now through all of this at this point? My wife is an absolute trooper through all this. She's incredibly strong and managing a lot, not just with, you know, handling my situation. She's been coordinating with attorneys. She's been incredibly supportive to me and my children and my family's been helping out with, you know, I think they can as well as hers. I also want to thank Theresa Inaker in the board of the ARA who reached out to my wife as well and had been very supportive and offered a lot of a place and among other things. And I can't say enough about her, my wife and the angel.

19:40The way through all this. Demetri, I have to stop you. I have to stop you because we're getting ready to come to a hard break. I want to leave you with this. We're going to be back and touch with you. I have access to you on a regular basis. You have access to my microphone. Ladies and gentlemen, Godspeed to you, Demetri, we'll talk soon. Freedom is not free. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have it in you? We'll be back. This segment of our American radio is proudly being brought to you by Blackout Coffee.

20:44This is a conversation I've been looking forward to having for what nearly two years now. Yeah, absolutely. And he is, I can see him on camera. He's looking great. So the beauty of technology, pardoned by Donald Trump last week in what had to be one of the most joyous phone calls I ever got. I can't even imagine what you were feeling. Welcome to our American radio for the first time. Welcome back to freedom. Welcome back to your life. Brother, jump in here, man. It's so good to have you here. We knew you were going to do. We knew this was going to happen. We just didn't know when and we're just damn proud to have you on the program. How are you, my friend? I'm a lady that's great to be here. It's an honor and a privilege. Wow, I got to tell you, you know, when you and I talked last week, we talked for quite a while and I was asking some questions about how you felt. I wanted some of the, some of the details and I want to ask you to tell the audience because the, the daily show audience literally Greg, what we've talked about, take at least once a week for last two years. Yeah, easily.

21:44If not more and of course on this program as well and your father has been involved in the chat and he's been involved in the conversations and you know, we made some pretty bold predictions about you through these gut feelings that we knew you know when something's wrong. What happened to you was flat out wrong. You don't need to understand the law and the constitution to know something's inherently wrong. You were wronged and here you are. You've got to tell the audience across the country today. What happened when you got that phone call? Would you repeat that story for us, please? Yeah, absolutely. So it's been less than 10 days, just nine days ago. I got the call that would forever change the rest of my life. I was sitting in a really draconian rough prison system, you know, a really dark place. Not knowing. Am I going to get out this decade, next decade, maybe sometime in 2042. So I mean, that warning, it was, you know, I was back in court, back in Virginia. They transported me from New Jersey and you know, I was pending a hearing, a recentencing hearing for a count that we succeeded on a field that we got overturned essentially.

22:49And I was going to get recentenced, but it wasn't looking promising. They weren't looking at my evidence. That's a whole long story. But to answer your question, it was a normal warning just around noon. I normally stood there and I watched the news, try to keep up on that. We're waiting for our lunch trays, which are horrible. And a lieutenant came down to the cell, the cell block that I was on. And that was kind of unique because you never really see them. And so she comes in the door and the first thing she did to say, I'm going to butcher this name because nobody can say my name. And I'm already kind of walking towards her, expecting it. And she says, Mr. Damienk, I'm like, yes, she pulled me out and soon as we got out there, she said, hey, the Bureau of Prison is called. They want to know what your release plan is, who your point of contact is and what your plans are once you get out. And I was like, huh, what's this for? She said, I don't know, the Bureau of Prison, are you getting out soon? They called. And I'm like, I have a 20 year sentence. We're working really hard to have that happen. But I have no, I don't know.

23:51And so I wrote down the stuff and she, she gave me no information. And me, do you went back in and I texted one of my brother's Adam and kind of let him know the scenario and it was kind of just odd. So I was like, this was weird. Let's not get our hopes up too much. There's been several times over the last four years. I was in prison where we had a little bit of hope and got crushed every time. And, you know, I mentioned it to him and then about immediately after that, I called my dad, tell him the same thing. And by that point, I get a text back from Adam and he told me, hey, it's done. President Trump pardoned you. I'm on the way. I'm coming to get you. So, oh, man, you know, I look, I know what it's like just been following your case. I can't imagine being you. You were listening in the previous segments to Demetra, were you not? I was, yes. Okay, that's incredibly disheartening. And there are some similarities there because of what happened at the trial. So we'll make sure to connect you to as you and I talked previously because I know

24:52you wanted to look into this case a little bit. And now here you are outside. Now after Adam called you and said it's done, President Trump signs your pardon. How long before you were standing outside? Because I know he was on his way to get you. So by the time I got that message from him, it was probably around 1231. It's a blur at this point, but it had to be around that time. And then I pretty much got out that, you know, I went back in and I kind of waited a couple hours for the staff to come tell me, but by this point, I already knew. So I'm trying to kind of maintain my composer. I didn't really want to alert other inmates because they'll swarm you and just be annoying. So I kind of just told a couple of the, my friends that I was closest to there kind of gave away all my stuff, got my some of the legal material I had packed up ready to go, had everything ready. And I think I walked out just around 4 p.m. that day and it was perfect timing. Adam was just pulling in. He hit some traffic, but he got there five minutes before I walked out the door. So you were in Hampton Roads, right?

25:54You were down in Hampton Roads, Virginia? Yeah, I was at a jail called Western Tyrewater Regional Jail, Horrible Place. Yeah, you know, Lee has been informing the audience that that was far worse than the federal places that you were at. True? I would say so, yes. I mean, the county jails are really a like a super max. I mean, I have not seen sunlight. I had not even seen sunlight since June 16th between September 4th and June 16th. So I mean, that says, that says something there and just, you know, in prison, there's things you can do to keep busy, such as programming and, you know, going to the gym and things like that. But there's nothing to do in jail. There's nothing at all. And the worst part is really the food. I mean, it's just not something to look forward to. And eating is one of the only things you can look forward to in prison. So. Yeah. And when you can't look forward to that, you look forward to that. That's pretty bad. The fact of the matter is you're out. What was when you stepped outside, when did all of this become real? Were you driving down the road back towards Virginia Beach with Adam and it dawned on you

26:58that you were touching the grass and smelling the air and getting close to the water? I mean, you know, I just got to know, I just got to know. It's still not even real. I mean, I'm down here. I'm in Virginia and I'll be doing kind of the same things I used to do before, before all this happened. I'm working on my truck. I'm, you know, doing yard work. I'm trying to get everything situated. I'm trying to help him. He's helping me and he's been great. And we still, I'll still just stand there. I'll be watching my hands at the sink and just be like, wow, it's finally over. The moment we've been waiting for for years to finally over, it's really hard to actually grasp. I can't, I just, I can't even imagine. Congratulations to you, my friend. It's been, it's been quite the ride. Greg, I want you to jump in here if you would please because we all have questions for you. Go ahead, Greg. Yeah, sure, Tate. I just, I'm curious. What was your first meal? What was the first thing on your mind when you got out? You were like, I got to have this thing. People think this is funny. I don't know. I have my favorite thing ever and I learned about these in California when I was stationed

27:59in San Diego, but a California burrito, a burrito about this big stuff with french fries. All right, all right. You know, it's funny. You asked that, Greg, because when we were talking about, I said, when I found out the day that he got the part, we had Lee on the program with us. And I said, I hope, I hope he goes out and just grabs a big Mac or something like that Nicole beer and it wasn't the big Mac, but it was the burrito, which is the big Mac of Mexican food. So it's kind of, it's kind of similar. But you know, that had to be good, right? That had to be good. Tell me. Well, it was amazing. Adam came with me, obviously. He got the same thing. He had about 25% of his, I crossed my whole thing. Oh, it's crazy. The little things, isn't it, man? It's crazy. The little things. It's not so little when your freedom is taken away from you. And some of the conversations, I know we're going to be told we're going to take a break, but you're going to stay with us for the remainder of the of the hour in the next segment. And I do have some other questions for you as well since you've been out. I will say this, ladies and gentlemen, let me take this opportunity.

29:01Greg, how much time do we have before the break? But 20 seconds to music. So take, hang with me here. When we come back, I'll let you know, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to meet, take you can do that. Coming up the 26, 27th and 28th. In Dallas, at the Gunn writes policy conference, okay? Get off your duff and come see us. We're all going to be there. We will be interviewing Tate as well. And guys, GRPC, 2026 coming up, you'll be able to meet Tate. Greg, we're going to do the break deal right now. And when we come back, we've got Tate for just, well, we've got 25 seconds left. We've got another segment Tate. So hang in there with us. So let me push that GRPC again. I was off on my time by 30 seconds, but you can actually come and meet Tate, shake his paw at the Gunn writes policy conference. That guys more information about that is available for you at S-A-F dot org, S-A-F dot org, or CCR KBA dot org. Please come out and say hello. I know he'd love to shake your paw. We'll be back with Tate right after this. Don't go away. The following segment of armed American radio is proudly being brought to you by the National

30:13Rifle Association. Help us defend freedom by visiting NRA dot org slash AAR and join today. Welcome back to the show. Yeah, welcome back to the show, ladies and gentlemen, National Rifle Association, NRA dot org slash AAR. You know where to go to get them and all of our great partners because of the nature of who we have on here. I'm just going to take a blanket out. All of our great partners can be found at armedamericanradio.com. We'll talk more about them through the remainder of the two hours. Let's go right back to Tate, Adami Akugius 10 days ago was pardoned, full 100% unconditional pardon by President Trump. Tate, welcome back to the program. It's so great to see you and it's great to talk to you and know that you're doing well. Have you have you seen your dad yet? Have you talked to dad yet? Yeah, he's here with me right now. Him, my brother, talker, and my brother Adam. We're all here together. Let's you ought to bring him in behind you. I'd love to see him if there's any way they can get on camera with you. That'd be wonderful if you could. I probably can't. I think he's watching him there. Dad, if you heard that, come on out. Yeah, okay. They might be able to do it. So maybe about 30 seconds out. We'd love to see the family together. Yeah, that would be outstanding. I, you know, we, you and I talked on Friday and when we did, some of the questions might

31:17seem silly, but they're not because other people face what you face. And hopefully this is a wake up call to a lot of Americans. What happened to you? Because you, they lied. Now you're going to have an opportunity to meet and the irony here, Greg, is not lost on me. We talked about this on Friday and that is you'll have an opportunity to shake the paw of Robert Sakata, the director of the ATF. And who do we have back here with you? Yeah, this is my dad coming in and my brother's coming too. All right, good deal. If Adam wants to come too, I'd like y'all here, honestly. These men have been standing beside me since day one fighting. This is my brother Tucker, my dad, Dave. I hope Adam's coming, but yeah, these guys have been relentlessly fighting for me. Guys, thanks for, thanks for, thanks for jumping on camera with us guys. We appreciate it, man. It's good to see all of you together. I think it's, we knew this day was coming. We just didn't know when and that's important. He's in there somewhere behind that. Hey, take the question I have for you is you're going to have the opportunity to sit down

32:21and talk to the director of the ATF, the organization that, in prison for 20 plus years. Now it's, is it, the irony there is not lost on me because it was the Biden ATF that put you away. It was the Trump ATF who you're going to be able to meet in just a few days in Dallas with us. I mean, what do you say? How, how is, how you going to handle that one? Well, I'm looking forward to it because something you said there is key. This happened under a different administration and I understand that the, and recognize that the leadership now is not that. And I mean, I look forward to talking to him, but I think there are a lot of key players in this. Literally thousands of people, including your show. My dad's been keeping me informed on all the good work he's been doing, telling my story, but I think it's people like him that ultimately pushed the needle. And I'm grateful for that. So yeah, he's the ATF, but I mean, I'm proud of what he did. And I think, you know, I trust Trump's leadership and those are right choice.

33:22And I'm grateful. Yeah, well, the fact that you're sitting here is absolute living proof of that and congratulations for that. That irony was not lost on me. You know, you've got, it guys, that's the politics involved here, ladies and gentlemen. That's what happens when you've got an organization that's being run a particular way versus the way it's being run now. It's unbelievable to see what happened in jail out of jail simply because of a political change and an organization that is now playing by the rules. We're seeing victory after victory in the court status. You know that now. Okay. Absolutely. Victory. Do you have maybe I, maybe I shouldn't ask the, but I'm going to and I see it in the chat now. Do you harbor any ill will towards the individuals who did this to you? And do you have it? Are there any future steps that you can take now after this? Or is it just well enough left alone? And I've got my freedom and I'm moving on with my life. How do you handle something like that? Well, my legal team and I were exploring all of our options.

34:24So I'm not really sure what that's going to look like. I would say this is far from over because the big thing like you'd mentioned this could happen to somebody else. And if I just gave away four years of my life for nothing, what's the point in that? So I hope to be able to bring more attention to the flaws that happen in my case or event it from happening to anybody else in the future. So when you hear a story like we were talking about you were listening with Demetrio where these laws, it's a violation of law in one state. It's not elsewhere. They're likely going to be struck down federally as unconstitutional down the road. In the meantime, guys like you had to do this. And I commend you for that, believe me. That was the answer I was hoping to hear from you. Yeah, you can't throw four years of your life away. Man, you've got to make this worthwhile. And it sounds like you're going to do that. And then when you hear a guy like Demetrio, does that just want to increase the fight in you to see to it that nobody else is wrong like this? Absolutely. It does. I mean, I just learned about his situation after getting out.

35:25Actually, you informed me and I just read up on it a bit and it's just, it's a gracious. And I hope that, you know, people do exactly what everybody did for me and bring a lot of attention to his case because he could have stepped his, he could have stepped over the border into Pennsylvania and been completely fine. So something that can expose somebody that upwards of 40 years in prison for something that 20 miles away might be perfectly legal as ridiculous. We are all Americans. We are all Americans. Absolutely. Whether we live in New York or Pennsylvania, well, say does, you know, but it shouldn't, I guess, is the point that I'm trying to make. As an American citizen, we have the same constitutional rights and it shouldn't matter when we cross that imaginary border line that we can't even see, let's there be a sign there that says, Oh, now you're going to go to prison for 40 years. Now you're not going to go to prison. What you're doing here is fine. It's constitutional. What you're doing here isn't. And we're going to put you away and lock you up. I mean, good heavens. Do you have anything on the microphone? Because I, you know, I, Greg and I were talking before, you would make a perfect round table guest.

36:25So we're going to talk with you about that in the very near future. Well, I'll have an opportunity to shake your paw and person in Dallas and we'll talk about some of that. But you have an awful lot to say and we don't have enough time here. Unfortunately, with the time that we have left. So I want to give you the final word here. Is there anything you want to say to Lee? Is there anything you want to say to listeners? You know, there were a lot of people behind the scenes and I don't mean, you know, Sakata and the rest of them who are doing that heavy lift in Washington to get you out. That did not happen without a lot of very powerful people pushing in your direction. And it took a lot of pressure from the outside. What do you want to say to those people who were right there in your corner the whole time? The, the challenging thing is that there were so many people in my corner, not only the people that you just mentioned, of course, Lee Williams, he got up on the rooftops and screamed my story and got the attention of the APF. But there are so many people I'm grateful for my legal team as well. Matthew, Laura Osier, my column well, where's that stuck up really without asking for anything in return just because it was the right thing to do?

37:26Your channel, all the YouTubers, the journalists, everybody, all the people that even just went and signed my petition or shared my story. I'm grateful for everybody. So I mean, I'm just I'm elated. Well, you should be and it was really fun to see you take over just little things that get to me about this. Like when you took over your, your Twitter account, freedom for tape is now your name on the, on the X account because you're now free. It's little stupid things like that. Don't let I see that. I think, wow, you look back just a few days ago versus that. And here you sit on armed American radio for the first time and I can promise it's not going to be the last time. And I will say this when I shake your palm, Dallas, I'm going to shake your palm on behalf of every listener out there who has commented who, who, you know, and there is a heavy lift there. It's good to see Americans pull together when they know that something is flat out inherently wrong. Greg, how much time before the break? We're getting ready to end this. We have 60 seconds. So, take, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to leave it with this with you. Okay. And Dave and Adam and Tucker, it's great to see you guys.

38:28You know, it's great to see you guys together as a family. It was something we knew was going to happen. And God bless each and every one of you for keeping up the fight. And ladies and gentlemen, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my listeners who signed and called and did things and contacted the ATF and did what you did to help all of this come to fruition. And I want to beg each and every one of you. If you have an opportunity, what a great time to come to the GRPC and meet Tate and shake his paw and not just listen to him on the radio now because it's not a story, ladies and gentlemen, it's Tate's life. And he's now free in large measure because of the efforts of an awful lot of people. Yourself included. Tate, we love you. Godspeed to you, brother. Welcome home. Welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing you in just under a week in Dallas, Texas. Ladies and gentlemen, Tate and Dominic, guys, we're going to flip it over on the next side. We've got another hour coming up with AWR Hawkins and John Lott. We'll be back after the break. Thanks, Tate. We love you, man.
