On RFK Jr.’s website “Nominees for the People” where people were able to go online and offer their support for nonbinding votes for President-elect Donald Trump’s “unity government” cabinet nominees (actually sounds like something Kamala would call it if she had won), Guntuber Brandon Herrera, aka The AK Guy, is the leading nominee to head up the ATF.
Many people believe even though it’s a tongue in cheek recommendation, Herrera would be a much more reasonable choice than Biden’s current head of the ATF Steven Dettelbach, whose ignorance of basic firearms operation and terms was on full display earlier this year during an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation.
For Herrera, who is funny as hell in many of his videos and tackles such compelling topics as testing the gun that killed Abraham Lincoln, testing Joe Rogan’s JFK bullet theory by shooting a dummy skull and even testing the assassination attempt shot on Donald Trump as well as the Secret Service’s return fire skull-smasher on the would-be assassin, he said he would gladly accept the nomination if Trump offered it.
Herrera, a San Antonio, Texas, resident who “narrowly lost a primary bid to oust incumbent U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales” earlier this year, put some grease on the votes he received according to the San Antonio Current. The Current reports:
So, where did Herrera get the idea to pursue the role of ATF director? Robert F. Kennedy Jr., of course.
In a Wednesday YouTube video, Herrera told viewers that the Nominees for the People website, a crowdsourcing platform run by RFK Jr. prompted him to chase the job. The forum allows people to nominate and vote on who they want to be in charge of government agencies under Trump.
“I don’t know what the actual likelihood of something like this happening is, but my God, this would be one of the most legendary appointments Donald Trump could ever make — and one of the funniest,” Herrera said in the clip. “There’s nothing I’d rather see more than the headquarters of the ATF turned into a f***** Spirit Halloween.”
The clip first aired just a week after Trump won the 2024 presidential election while liberals across the country were whining and bitching about the loss, blaming it on racism and misogyny (I had to look that word up), threatening to cut off their hair, threatening not to have sex with their significant others who may have supported Trump, threatening to uninvite Trump-supporting relatives from Thanksgiving dinner, swearing they were going to move out of the country (please, please do) and basically showing their real colors as the true party of intolerance in America.
“Before we begin this episode of Gun Meme Review, I just really wanted to check in and ask you guys, after the results of last week’s election, how are you doing?” he asked with a concerned look on his face, before busting into a wide grin, “Because I’m doing f***** great baby. Ice cream man is out; McDonald’s man is in. We’re in for a fun four years.”
And if Herrera actually got named as the new ATF director, that fun would only be that much more for gun owners, retailers and manufacturers. When you think about it, in a world where Jake Paul is about to fight former greatest fighter who ever lived Mike Tyson, is it really that far fetched. Elon Musk, after all, is about to become the co-leader of the newly created DOGE!
Other nominees on the website included Gary Sinise (aka Lt. Dan) for Director of Veterans Affairs, Edward Snowden for CIA Director, Alex Jones as Press Secretary and Theo Von for Press Secretary among others.
Check out Herrera’s clip. It’s worth wasting the nine minutes of your life you’ll never get back.
Trump does like a good troll. He has a history of nominating people that have problems with the way these departments have been managed. There’s a chance he’d do it.
Be hard to top Gaetz for AG.
Gaetz is not likely getting the job. He has too many Republican senators opposed. I don’t know what the magic number is, but it is not many.
“Trump does like a good troll.”
RFK Jr. doesn’t have a chance surviving nomination, so I suspect it was a just a troll to prove his cred.
Red meat for the base, and all.
He can say he tried, and end up nominating someone like Dr. Ben Carson…
The now majority congress needs to subpoena utube and question those worthless ratbassturds about free speech violations…email your reps or stay silent and let utube get away with it.
Someone as bright as yourself should know that the First Amendment only protects free speech from government overreach, not private entities.
you do know that through threats, coercion, conspiring the Biden-Harris admin censored and infringed the first amendment rights of millions of Americans on social media platforms, right?
That is government doing that.
So YouTube has cause for action against the government, except they participated in the action. What YouTube in turn did to the public is not protected free speech.
It doesn’t matter what youtube can or can not do or did or did not do, and it wasn’t just youtube and was also facebook and twitter (before Musk bought it) ..the fact the government (Biden-Harris admin) took steps to intentionally censor and infringed the first amendment rights of millions of Americans on social media platforms is a violation of the first amendment by government.
Google/Alphabet Inc./YouTube should be fined for the billions they have contributed to the Democrat Party by skewing their algorithms for political gain. Without the tech oligarchy and the MSM working for dems 24/7, the electoral map would have more resembled the 1984 map.
…And with standard election fraud prevention measures.
“…should know that the First Amendment only protects free speech from government overreach, not private entities.”
Twitter had a direct line to the Biden white house, so that was government suppression of free speech…
Akex Jones might make a good press sec. He seems to have a real talent for getting people to believe stuff.
I think Dana White would make a better Press Secretary after seeing him on election night after Trump won.
No smart-ass reporters in that press room any more, I betcha.
Jones is a nutjob, full stop.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders would be ideal, but she’s busy being Arkansas’ governor…
Well, Brandon said he met and knew Gaetz pretty well during his campaign run. Plus, the establishment (House Speaker Mike Johnson) interfered with that primary, so he does have all that going for him. I don’t think it would be that far-fetched. But if he gets in, hooooooobooooy are we are gonna have a fun time!
So, you might as well go over and support him (Nominees for the People is the website)
I’d sleep a lot better AND enjoy my free time more.
Bettleback was Bidens henchmen.
Now Biden is gone.
FEMA needs to reap the repercussions of a Biden approved agenda along with Biden.
This is going to date me, but I’ve heard tell that oldsters who are comfortable in their loose skin don’t care any more, so here goes…
95% of me celebrates all the fresh blood that Trump is wanting to bring in, to shake things up. The other 5% consists of remembering this old Bud Light commercial.

Man, if you get the ride, go for it!
I think the Bud Light boycott was a turning point. The insane left realized they had pushed too far, too fast, and the average Joe realized they actually had some power. Notice how the dems have mostly been ignoring their gender ideology promotion since then compared to the post-Cultural Revolution of 2020. It became a losing issue. AOC removed her pronouns from her X bio. AOC!
AOC went from a bartender to a congress critter worth millions. She realizes that her new found status and wealth are at risk so expect her to go more moderate in days to come.
“AOC went from a bartender to a congress critter worth millions.”
JWM, did you see where she asked her constituents that voted both for her and Trump why they did? 😉
This morning on the way home from an over nighter at the lab to finish up an experiment I stopped for some breakfast. I ran into a Kamala voter conversation between two people. Could not avoid it, they were talking loud enough for the whole place to hear. Man, these people are really all kinds of butt hurt and delusional.
After a round of “I just can’t believe Trump won…” said in various different ways and then complaining about a little of everything about Trump, they turned to Trumps appointments. One of them mentioned Herrera and said “Did ya see where Trump has appointed that Herrera nazi to run the ATF? And that guy, whats his name, uhhh …”
I was sitting at a different booth but I trolled them a little and spoke up and said “that guy, that would be Tony Stark a senator from Rhode Island.”
They guy said “Yeah, that’s the one, Tony Stark, Trump is gonna appoint him to run the Department of Education.”
What kind of experiment were you overseeing?
