The OFFICIAL preview with my next guest, Chris Bayless, a 30-year ATF Special Agent who spent the majority of his career undercover. Bayless infiltrated the Hell’s Henchmen Motorcycle Club and was inside when they patched over to become the Hells Angels, with his undercover intelligence helping build the federal RICO case that took down Mel Chancey and the Chicago Hells Angels leadership.
Today’s release is with Mel Chancey, former President of the Hells Angels Chicago chapter, who shares his journey from a strict Catholic upbringing to becoming one of the youngest presidents in Hells Angels history, leading through a violent six-year war with the Outlaws, facing a federal RICO case, serving time in prison, and ultimately finding faith and rebuilding his life. Mel also discusses the upcoming movie being developed about his story with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jon Bernthal. Then on Thursday, I sit down with Chris Bayless, the undercover ATF agent responsible for infiltrating the club and helping take Mel down. This week, you’ll hear both sides of the story from two men who once stood on opposite sides of the law and are now close friends. @melvinchancey
Congratulations to Rob Cekada on his confirmation today as the next Director of @ATFHQ!
Rob is an outstanding leader who has served as the Deputy Director of ATF over the last year, and is an integral part of our team. I look forward to our continued work together to make America safe.
“Shall not be infringed” means exactly that and under the bold leadership of @POTUS, this Department of Justice is taking unprecedented action to defend the Second Amendment rights of Americans. Today, we are announcing regulatory reforms to @ATFHQ gun rules, which protect public safety, while not infringing on one’s right to bear arms.
While the previous administration did everything it could to restrict the constitutional rights of American citizens, this administration is restoring them.
Here's @chicagotribune op-ed piece written by my husband, ATF SA Chris Bayless (ret). Podcast to follow, stay tuned! https://t.co/U55caoWkWv

ATF Chicago, along with our @TheJusticeDept partners, are assisting @HSIChicago@ICEgov and other federal law enforcement partners with their immigration enforcement efforts.
With the recent news, I pray that people start paying attention to those who are sharing accurate information with the potential to impact lives. This is not meant to brag, but I’ve had numerous discussions with Sarah Adams, Scott Mann, and Legend on the Shawn Ryan Show to help inform the American public—and people abroad—about the growing threat of an enemy that is not being taken seriously. It’s heartbreaking that this information is becoming more real with each passing day. Please, if you would, kindly share this with those around you.
Episodes of the Shawn Ryan Show to pay attention to are:

It is with great sadness we mourn the loss of the longest serving explosives technician with the Chicago Police Bomb Squad and a very wonderful human being. Larry was a wealth of knowledge and truly a joy to be around. We pray for his soul and his family during this time.
“We didn’t find any racial bias in police shootings.”
Economist Roland Fryer tells @bariweiss at @uaustinorg about the 2016 paper on policing bias that led to his need for an “armed guard” for over a month and the academics who told him not to publish. https://t.co/dklaGtiMxT
