This is Armed American Radio's Daily Defense.

Armed American Radio's Daily Defense, because they don't want me to.

That's why I do it.

From the CZ Studios.

They're never going to stop us here.

Here is your host, the loudest conservative voice in America fighting the enemies of freedom.

Mark Walters.

On American Radio's Daily Defense, welcome inside the CZ Studios with me today.

Mark Walters coming to you live,

Memorexed, live from the National Rifle Association annual meetings and convention, 26 in Houston, Texas, at the convention center downtown.

You're in front of the Patriot Mobile mic with me. And of course, we tell you every week it's brought to you by the National Rifle Association.

So buckle in. We're going to have a lot of fun all week. We're going to tape a bunch of segments for you. We can't do it live for you. So I just let, you know, throw in that disclaimer out for radio stations and affiliates around the country that we are taped in advance, about an hour before the show airs on your station today. So welcome in with me, sitting in front of me.

And it's always fun.

Craig Deleuze.

Craig, I get to shake your paw here. It's really fun. How you doing? Man, I am too blessed. Too blessed. You live in California. I don't know if you're too blessed. Well, you know what? The weather is nice. I will tell you. They say, was 1,000 by my left and 10,000 by my right, but nay shall it come near me. May shall I come near you? I still don't understand how you turn the news on every day and look at Gavin Newsom's face as your governor and not literally want to leave. I can't watch the man on TV. I can't see the politics. What's going on with Swalwell, California. What a mess. But I appreciate, love you, and applaud you for fighting

the fight out in California. Well, you know, a lot of people don't understand that if we weren't

fighting the fight in California, that fight would be fought in other places. Like Virginia?

Nevada or Virginia or Colorado. You know, sadly, the Californication of other states is a thing.

And if we were fighting in California, it would be happening to a much greater degree in other parts of the country.

You know, I don't think I told you this.

I was out in Arizona for the attorneys on retainer convention a couple months back.

My rental car, they gave me, had California tags in Arizona. That's a no-no on Arizona highways.
