Patrick Adamiak

You know, from the lens of incrementalism, it's pretty, um, unusual, [laughs] because, I mean-

And I guess I, I, I didn't even pull up a story from this one, but yet another example of this, right, is Tate got pardoned.

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

[laughs]

It's, it's cool to see.

Yeah, no, the, I mean, of, of, of course, yeah, since this was within the last week, we, I, we didn't get to talk about Tate getting pardoned.

Um, and I'm, I don't think that's on the show notes, so we can just talk about that real quick.

I am at the GRPC, and I hope to see you there at the Gun Rights Policy Conference, where I'll be interviewing Robert Sicotta, the head of the ATF, along with Rob Leider, the chief counsel at the ATF, on the stage at the GRPC, on camera in front of the crowd for forty-five minutes.

Tate Adamiak, just pardoned by Trump, will be there, and it is going to be a fantastic weekend.

The lineup is amazing.

I was discussing it with Cam Edwards on Cam & Company today.

We'll be at the joint board meeting together on Thursday afternoon.

And, of course, Tate Adamiak will be speaking there as well.

So I'm looking forward to that.

Are you excited about GRPC? This is going to be a good one, man.

Good heavens.

Yeah, this is amazing, and there's so much to celebrate.

It's going to be great to see you, Mark, obviously, listen to Tate Adamiak and others speak.

I mean, this is going to be a powerful GRPC this year.

...

when I had Tate Adamiak on, and I, I didn't have you on the program for a reason.

That was for a specific reason, because you have a lot coming up with Tate, and we're gonna talk about that today.

Because you have a column that's, as of yet, I'm gonna assume right now, still unpublished, correct?

All right.

You know, Lee Williams is the one that led the charge, and Greg, we kind of need a cavalry sound here with this, [laughs] because he was on the horse, man, with the sword.

It was Lee that was, that was running this operation for a couple years, and 30-plus columns that brought a tremendous amount of attention that eventually reached into the White House through the ATF and others, and culminated with Tate Adamiak getting a pardon late last week or early last week, or I don't know, I'm losing track of time what the exact day was, but a, a full unconditional pardon from President Donald J. Trump.

And he's back.

As usual, AWR Hawkins, I, I, I don't even know where [laughs] to start with you after the last hour.

You know, we just had Tate Adamiak, who was, uh, jailed for 20 years with the whole mess with the ATF.

You're familiar with that story.

Now he's out.

He has issued, to my mind, a couple of pretty good pardons in this last week.

Patrick or Tate Adamiak has been pardoned by President Trump.

This guy, we did like a whole segment on him a couple years ago when he got convicted.

This is the case of the U.S. Navy sailor who spent years in jail, like four years in jail on...

This is something we talked about extensively and covered extensively and something that the GOA has been involved in and others regarding this issue.

Our friend Tate Adamiak and our friend Jeremy Kettler.

What happened with these gentlemen?

So, yeah, let's start with Jeremy Kettler.

He's back out there.

But still, that was time from taken away from him.

On top of that, we can take a look at Tate Adamiak.

So Tate, who we've talked about before, where he was convicted by a jury, you know, for possessing an unregistered firearm, transferring, possessing machine guns, possessing unregistered destructive devices.
