   TLP 578: 2A Sellouts & Woke Flops Roasted

   The Jackwagon Train is steaming through JULY, and Talking Lead Podcast is unloading a full-auto barrage on the year’s biggest duds! Lefty’s got the Lead Head Brigade locked and loaded, joined by 2A titans Ton Jones (Firebird Targets, world-record airgun marksman), Ryan “Koup” Kuperus (USMC Force Recon, The Reason Outdoors), and Tommy (TNOUTDOORS9, YouTube ballistics guru). These pros shred posers and flops with the precision of a well-aimed shot, exposing betrayals that hit harder than a .308. From 2A hypocrites to Hollywood’s woke misfires, here’s the Jackwagon Train’s hit list for July 2025. Catch the episode on Rumble, submit your own Jackwagons, and join us at the 2025 GOALS convention in Knoxville, TN, August 8-10! Jackwagon Lineup: The Worst of 2025 Shawn Ryan: The 2A Fumble Shawn Ryan, host of The Shawn Ryan Show, thought he’d score points gifting Gavin Newsom a Sig Sauer P365 XMACRO on July 14, 2025, but fumbled by letting Newsom’s “I’m not anti-gun” claim slide. X users like @MrColionNoir roasted him for the softballs, and his bizarre “furbies” remark about trans kids sparked backlash (@BooRadleytoo called it a “PR disaster”). Lefty quips, ““Shawn’s 2A cred imploded quicker than the Titan submersible". Gavin Newsom: The Slick Hypocrite California’s "God Da*n" Governor Newsom grinned for the cameras, accepting Ryan’s Sig Sauer while dodging his anti-2A record. His July 14, 2025, interview dodged lockdown questions and fumbled a Rogan jab with “Motherf**ker”. Koup says, “Newsom’s ‘pro-gun’ act is slicker than his hair gel!” A perfect Jackwagon for the Brigade’s scorn. Tim Kennedy: Tall Tales & Fake Valor Tim Kennedy’s Bronze Star with Valor claim crumbled on July 8, 2025, after veterans called out his Scars and Stripes exaggerations (like 50 hand grenades!). Black Rifle cut ties, and his website vanished. Lefty notes, “Tim fought more in his book than Iraq!” A betrayal the 2A crowd won’t forgive. SilencerCo & Capitol Armory: NFA Cash Grabs SilencerCo’s “Tax-Free Tease” (July 8, 2025) hyped the OBBB’s $0 tax stamp but hiked prices 20% (a scam). Capitol Armory’s $150 “Fast Pass” (July 10, 2025) promised ATF shortcuts but got lost in their deception. Ton snaps, “These cons hit 2A wallets harder than ATF knocking on your door!” A duo fleecing the faithful. Hollywood’s Woke Flops: Marvel & Disney Misfires Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World (Feb 14, 2025) bored fans with a B- CinemaScore and 80% Popcornmeter, slammed for “empty” plots and “corny” vibes. Disney’s Lilo & Stitch (May 23, 2025) and Skeleton Crew (June 17, 2025) flopped with DEI backlash and kiddie pandering. Lefty growls, “Hollywood’s woke duds make a jammed mag look epic!” Why These Guests Rule the Roast Ton Jones, airgun sharpshooter, blasts overhyped gear like his Firebird Targets make a blast on the range. Koup Kuperus, Force Recon vet, snipes posers with tactical precision. Tommy, TNOUTDOORS9’s ballistics king, dissects Hollywood’s failures like a 9mm through ballistics gel. Their 2A cred makes this roast a Lead Head Brigade classic, exposing betrayals that sting worse than a misfire. Join the Fight! Catch TLP 578 on Rumble and join the Jackwagon Train! Submit your 2025 Jackwagons in the comments or on IG & X. Don’t miss Lefty, Ton, and Koup at the 2025 GOALS convention (Knoxville, TN, August 8-10).

Published 18 Aug 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Like my poor way of having an ability to go into their families, you know, they had five plus kids on each. And now women have jobs and, you know, other things to pursue. So, I think that's kind of an inevitable, you know, but I mean, also, you, this have to stop. I mean, the population's budget is interesting in that in my lifetime, the population of the world is more than doubled, just in my lifetime. And that's kind of incredible. I don't think that was a sustainable pay. So it's going to level off and, you know, start to decline, which will be interesting because nobody's ever handled that before I sense maybe the black death. […]
