This video discusses a legislative effort by Representatives Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene to defund the office of the ATF Director, Stephen Dettelbach, using the Holman Rule.

The move is a response to ATF actions like the BRACE Rule and zero-tolerance policies for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), which the representatives argue overstep statutory authority.

This video analyzes the concessions made by Kevin McCarthy to secure the House Speakership, focusing on how these changes empower rank-and-file members and potentially impact gun rights and government spending.
