  Speaker 1: This is a miracle, there is no question. And there
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: are problems in this country between police and community. Yes,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you are a donkey to the latest on that police
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: killing of a black man, now a new developments in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the deathly Spas shooting rampage. If it was a really
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: bad day for him and this is what he did,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and so we are in a state of emergency. Okay,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: White supremacist violence is it always have been the number
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: one threat to oxicide. But I'm also very proud that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: my wife was white. The breakfast club bitches, all right,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: please tell me why was I your donkey of the day. Well,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: donkey to Day for Thursday, October twenty f goes to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the entire state of Texas well, not the actual people,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: but the powers that be, in particular the Texas State Legislative,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the Texas Education Agency, Texas State Sendator Donna Campbell, who
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: sponsored the SB twenty one fifty eight bill, and that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: bill is the reason they are getting done here today.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And of course Governor Gray Gabbett. Now, as a parent,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: sending your kids to school nowadays, I'm sure if you're
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: like me, causes your anxiety to go through the roof.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: All right, parental paranoia is at an all time high.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: The only thing we can tell ourselves as parents is that, hey,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the kids will be fine, but we don't know for
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: sure that will be the case. We're just hoping for
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the best. Okay. I thought that my kids would just
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: have to face some of the same things, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: we faced when we went to school. You know, the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: things that we saw growing up. The teasing or if
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you want to call it bullying, maybe a fight, or
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: teacher getting slick with your kids, or the kids grades
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: slipping because they're distracted, things of that nature. Okay, the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: regular stuff. But this generation of kids has things they
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: have to worry about that I was born in the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds didn't have to deal with. And that's a
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: school shooting. It's not saying they didn't happen back then.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: First one I can remember was Columbine and that was
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine, But it seems like in twenty
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: twenty two, mass shootings at schools are something we as
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: parents have to think about, and truly don't believe anyone
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is trying to fix the problem, because if they did,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: we would have some type of gun control legislation in
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: this country and some type of comprehensive mandatory mental health
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: services from kindergarten to twelfth grade. I'm not saying that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: will totally fix the problem, but man, it's a better
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: idea than this one. What do you mean this one,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: uncle Charlotwell, let's go to w k X A n
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: NBC for the report. Police children in Texas tonight are
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: coming home from school with DNAH test kits and it's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: all thanks to a twenty twenty one state law. But
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it's causing anxiety for some parents in the wake of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the Uvaldi school shooting. But as Armonica Madden reports, the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: law was intended for something entirely different. Like any parent.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Dallas mother Tracy Walder wants her seven year old to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: be safe at school, but she says the fact that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: kids are being sent home with DNA kits is rubbing
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: her the wrong way. No one wants to think about
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: taking their child's DNA because they may get killed at school,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: especially after the Uvaldi shooting. We are treating in a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: way schools like cor zones. So when I served overseas,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: my DNA was on file. In twenty twenty one, Republican
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and Democratic lawmakers passed the Child ID Act requiring the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Texas Education Agency to provide identification kits to K through
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: sixth grade families. DNA kits to help identify your child
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: if they get killed in a school shooting, Texas. That's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: all y'all got everyday. Homeschool is looking like a better option.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Number one. There's a lot of people who don't feel
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: comfortable sending their kids, you know, DNA out, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to anyone for any reason, because of privacy reasons. You know.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I know folks that don't even do the ancestry test
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: because they don't want to give out their DNA. But
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the fact that elected officials have decided that they would
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: rather spend money on giving you a kit that reminds
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you your child potentially could be the victim of a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: mass shooting, a mass school shooting that leaves them so
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: damaged they won't be recognizable, instead of actually doing something,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: anything that could correct this problem, is mind blowing to me.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I know, school shootings are complicated, you know what I mean,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But they usually involve two things, feelings and guns. All right,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: These kids who have suicidal thoughts and anger and trauma
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: they haven't dealt with, and access to guns usually project
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that hurt they're feeling onto other people, which is why
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: mental health literacy and social emotional learning are absolutely necessary.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: You have to have mandatory mental health services and all
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: these schools. Okay, give these kids someone to talk to.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Spend money on creating a mindfulness wellness climate in your school.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Make these kids feel safe to talk to someone, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: provide them resources for when they are ready to talk. Okay.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: All these kids have emotional and behavioral problems, invest in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: getting them to help they need. Okay, And how about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: investing in some damn metal detectives and more security all
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: over these school campuses make schools like the airport. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: would rather my kids being venience having to go through
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: metal detectives and stuff like that, and have my kids
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: being inconvenience by having to do random school shooting drills okay,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: school shooting drills and DNA kits being sent home so
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: parents can identify the bodies. This is what happens when
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you don't have a plan to fix anything, because you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: have decided that not restricting guns and providing proper mental
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: health services for people is not high on your list
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of priorities. Okay. The state of Texas is a larger
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: reflection of what's happening in this country in regards to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this issue. And what's happening is absolutely nothing. You know why,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: because the NRA has these folks in their pocket, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that's what they care about more than anything. Their pockets,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: their bottom line. Okay. To NRA lobbies against gun control laws,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and it's the biggest gun owners organization in America. In
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the NRA spent about two hundred and fifty million,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty ms. Okay, that's more than all
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of the countries you know, gun control advocacy groups put together,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: all right. According to some reports to R he spends
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: about three million per year just to influence gun policy.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: But that's only the recorded contributions to lawmakers of gay
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: trust to believe considerable sums to spent elsewhere via pack
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and independent, independent contributions, okay, and those funds are difficult
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to track. What the moral of the story is lawmakers
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: be getting paid from a group that doesn't want gun control.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So all we are left with is DNA kits to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: identify our child remains in the event that they are
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the victim of a school shooting. And by doing this
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and not coming up with any comprehensive solutions. They are
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: simply saying, not if, but when, let us pray. Please,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: let me give the Texas State Legislator and the Texas
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Education Agency the biggest he hall heha heh. You stupid mother,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: are you dumb? Nasty out here? Nasty out here? All right?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey of the day, Charlomagne.
• 6:59
