Hello and welcome to the Bullock Podcast I'm your host Tim Miller. We got a double

header today but first isn't it nice to be pleasantly

surprised? It's nice to be pleasantly surprised every once in a while. On yesterday's

podcast, I made kind of a snide remark with Will Salitan about how the Senate has a pretty light

there was not any evidence that Democrats were going to actually move on this issue.

was going to get off his ass and do something.

Chuck Schumer announced yesterday that this week they're going to try to pass a bump stock ban.

And so I think that this is one of those cases where the policy is right, for the safety of our country it is right to do this and hopefully

the Republicans will get on board, but if the Republicans don't get on board, then it's a political

winner for Democrats because let me tell you. This just isn't a winner.

You know, the device that created a mass murder

with our 800 rounds fired in Las Vegas.

The Republicans want to be the ones defending that device, not even a gun, then, okay, well, we'll see how that works. We'll see what swing voters think about that. So I was pleasantly surprised, good news news good on you Chuck Schumer and now I'm

delighted to be here today with Lauren Windsor she's been in the news lately an activist
