- 1:38that microphone out of the elderly woman's hands, and then she self righteously.
- 1:46I don't know. I mean that I was cringing for her. It's this
- 1:49day is all about me. I don't like the way you grabbed that mic
- 1:52out of my hand. So I'm gonna make this day all about me?
- 1:55What about all the other gradues? Exactly? I know? And it was
- 1:57her behavior was reinforced by her family. You know. There you get girl,
- 2:01go girl. It's like this is the problem we see in real time.
- 2:07What the real problem is is where she was raised? Who raised her?
- 2:12Can you believe? Can? Okay, let me ask you this,
- 2:15Kimberly, if one of your children did this at graduation, what would you
- 2:20do? What would you say? How would you handle? It? Would
- 2:22never happen. I did not raise them that way. Would never happen.
- 2:28There would be an of consequences for this, do you family? Yeah,
- 2:35Oh my gosh, public shaming. Would your mama, None of us want
- 2:42to mess with her? She would, she would go public, I think,
- 2:46and give a video iology I would make my kid do a video apology
- 2:51and and talk about I want at least a five point essay on why that
- 2:55was wrong and how that sets a bad example for everybody else in society.
- 2:59And will read that online or you will not be in my house. Absolutely
- 3:04yes, and you will write a letter of apology to each person at that
- 3:07school. And by the way, you were going to volunteer to pick up
- 3:10trash at that school all next time. Do you know if my kids did
- 3:15anything wrong, if I ever had a teacher write in a notebook you know
- 3:17your child was talking too much in class, you're even the smallest things.
- 3:22My children had to publicly apologize to that teacher, and they had to write
- 3:25a letter explaining why they did what they did. They're so sorry. It'll
- 3:30never happen again. They hated it, they would cry, they'd go but
- 3:34it was mandatory, and the behavior never repeated itself, never repeated it.
- 3:38So when you say this would never happen, a graduation is because you've exactly
- 3:44Yeah, we had one of our cousins, Robin. She she gave her
- 3:49son a warning, if you just rupt this class, do you remember this,
- 3:53I will come up there. I will come up there. I will
- 3:55sit in class with you. Or he continued to be the class clown.
- 3:59Guess what. She didn't just show up. She showed up in her robe
- 4:01and curlers. She talked to the teacher ahead of time, she sat in
- 4:04the class. He was humulated. Never happened again. See that was not
- 4:09so funny for me, because my mom threatened to do that. We never
- 4:12got that. Yeah, well, I'm constantly amazed, like the entitlement and
- 4:16then her the way that the self what's the word indignation, Like the self
- 4:21righteousness of this is my day? Yes, are you crazy? It's unbelievable
- 4:30to me. And to have her parents if that was it may not have
- 4:32been. Maybe that was just people that happened to be right there at the
- 4:35time, going you go girl. But it sounded like what this all started
- 4:39with. If you just listened to the clip, it sounded like she was
- 4:41actually trying to take the microphone from the woman's hand. First the woman said
- 4:45no, and then so she was trying to take the microphone to have her
- 4:48moment, yes, and and the administrator wouldn't let her do that because it
- 4:53wasn't supposed to just be about her. We have another couple hundred graduates out
- 4:56here today, and that's what made if you have a chance to our listeners
- 5:00to go view this and you see the way that she basically battles this woman
- 5:06for that mic, she like almost turns her over for it. Yeah,
- 5:11it is. I mean it could be assault if that woman wanted to do
- 5:15press charges. You know, it could have been anything. But the way
- 5:18she walked off, like like, I'm thinking, you just graduated. I
- 5:21thought it was college, could have been in high school. You just graduated.
- 5:26You're about to enter the next chapter. And this is who we have
- 5:30that's going to be the adults in the room, right what yeh, go
- 5:33start your job at dairy queen. Yeah, let's go see dude. I
- 5:38think that this is one of those times that it would really do our country
- 5:42good if people would stand up against this and come out and say what she
- 5:46did was it's just not it's not okay, it's not acceptable. I feel
