  Speaker 2: This is Americle.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: There is no question, and there are problems in this
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: country between police and community.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, you are a donkey.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: The latest on that police killing of a black man,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: now the new developments in the definitely spotshooting rampage man yesday,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: it was a really bad day for him and this
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: is what he did.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: And so we are in a state of emergency.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, White supremacist violence, it is always have been the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: number one threat to our society. But I'm also very
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: proud that my wife was white.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: The practice club bitches. All right, Henny, please tell me
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: why was I your.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Donkey of the day. Donkey today for Thursday, September eleventh
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: goes to the gun lobbyist, the gun industry, and all
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the politicians who refuse to pass common sense gun reformed
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in this country. Today is nine to eleven, the twenty
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: four anniversary of nine to eleven, and over two decades later,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: America is still in a state of emergency. Okay, we
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: are still having constant terrorist attack, but the attacks are
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: more frequently coming from within.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It's like we keep repeating ourselves, and things seem to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: be getting progressively worse. For example, yesterday three teenagers are
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in critical condition after a mass shooting out of Colorado
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: High School. Now, I was born in nineteen hundred and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: seventy eight, so I'm old enough to remember the mass
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: shooting that happened in Denver back in twenty.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Twelve at the Aurora Theater.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: That's when James Holmes through tear gas in the theater
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and started shooting in the audience. Twelve people killed, seventy injured,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: fifty eight of them due to gunfire. You would think
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a situation like that would lead to some type of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: massive change in America, but no. I did some research,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and by research, I googled, and the Colorado Department of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Public Health and Environment website said in a ten year
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: period from twenty fourteen to twenty twenty three, Colorado experienced
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: seventy seven mass shootings in which one hundred and three
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: people were killed and two hundred and ninety nine were injured.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Guns Okay, I was on mass shooting Tracker dot com. Yes,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that is an actual website, Mass shooting Tracker dot com.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: And in twenty twenty five, this year, it has been
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty six mass shootings in America, six
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty eight mass shootings since January first,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, and zero days I repeat zero since our
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: last mass shooting.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Zero days. Now I am two a all day.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I believe in the right to bear arms, but I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: also believe in common sense gun control. But I thought
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to myself yesterday, the term gun control is an oxymoron.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: When you think of a gun, you have to know
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the gun industry, right. You got to think about the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: gun industry when you think of guns, and that's one
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of the most powerful industries in America. It's protected by
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the constitution. The gun lobbyists, especially the NRA, they have
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: significant influence over politicians, and guns are worshiped like religion
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in this country. So no matter what the tragedy, Okay,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: no matter how much blood is filled, no control will
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: ever be placed on guns as long as those campaign
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: contributions keep coming in, keep coming in.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And when we use the word control, right, gun control,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: control is something this country will never have.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Gun control will never happen in this country, especially when
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: lobbyists the NRA are writing the rules.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, you put gun and control together.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It sounds good on paper, but in reality, it's like
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: saying organized chaos are honest politicians. Okay, These politicians won't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: even be honest with you on why they can't even
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: create legislation to ever get to a point where we
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have common sense gun reform. But it's never happening in America. People, No, no, no.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It is a complete oxymoron to say gun control, okay,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: gun control in America, because America doesn't control guns. Guns
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: control America, all right. We treat the Second Amendment like
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's one of the Ten commandments, Okay. In America, historically,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: guns have had more rights than women, immigrants, the LGBTQ.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And black people combined. Okay.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And the reason we need gun control is because people
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: clearly have no self control. I agree with anyone who
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: says guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And since those people don't have any discipline or any
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: self control, that's why.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: We need gun control. Okay, common sense gun reform that can.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Protect us all and every time there is a mass
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: shooting or a tragic shooting, we should absolutely blame the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: gun lobbyists in the gun industry. I was reading a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: great article that was published last year. It was on
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a website called every Town for gun safety, and the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: headline was how the gun lobbyists and the gun industry
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: fan the flames of excremist ideology, and it spoke to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: how in recent years, political excremism and excremists violence in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the United States have risen at an alarming rate. Okay,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: many excremacy guns is the most effective tools for their
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: violent aims, and lacks gun laws in the US often
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: able these excremists to act firearms. We saw that play
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: out yesterday when we witnessed the murder of right wing
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: political activists Charlie Kirk. Okay, he was shot and killed
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: while speaking at Utah Valley University. Of course, immediately people
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: start politicizing his death. The right is blaming the left,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: saying their rhetoric about the right is what led to this.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: The right is blaming the left, saying their rhetoric is
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: what led to this. And we don't even have the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: person who did this in custody. We don't know what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: this person's issue.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Is or was with Charlie Kirk.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody is just assuming this is political violence, and it
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: quite possibly is.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I'm sure it is, But
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you know what else, it is? Gun violence?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, These nutjobs who don't believe in freedom of speech,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: clearly believe in their right to bear arms, and because
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of the lax gun laws in America, they are able
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to get firearms to carry out these violent acts.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And now let the.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Record show what I heard, what happened to Charlie Kirk yesterday.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I immediately felt fear. Okay, I was afraid. I'm a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: black man in America. I think about getting shot every day.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: But guess what every American should think about getting shot
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: every day when you are out and about in a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: public place, simply because it's been zero days since the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: mass shooting happened in this country. But my personal fear
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: was also because I'm a media personality. I don't want
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to live in a country where media personalities are being
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: shot and killed for their opinions are what they believe.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: But I also know that as much as we like
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to point to the First Amendment and say we all
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: have freedom of speech, we are not free from the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: consequences of said speech. That's why mindfulness of what we
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: say is very important, because there is a cost to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: everything that comes out of our mouth, and unfortunately we
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: don't get to set the price. And I must say,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk understood the price of our freedoms more than most.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I was watching this clip of him go viral yesterday.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Can we play it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: You will never live in a society when you have
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: That is nonsense. It's drivele But I think it's I
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: our other God given rights. That is a prudent deal.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: It is rational.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Now, He's absolutely right because of the way the Constitution
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is structed. Because we have no common sense gun laws
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in this country, these high gun deaths will happen every
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: single year.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It is a consequence of the right to bear arms.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Just like we don't get to determine the consequences of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: our free speech, we also don't get to determine the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: consequences of everyone having the right to bear arms in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: this country. I just wonder when people say things like
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk say, play a clip again.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Right, you will never live in a society when eve
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: That is nonsense. It's drivele but I think it's I
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: our other God given rights. That is a prudent deal.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: It is rational.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I just wonder when people say things like that, do
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they think they may be one of those deaths? Is
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it worth it when one of those casualties is you
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: are someone you love to protect the rights given to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: us by the Constitution. If they believe they too could
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: be one of those deaths and they're cool with that,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I respect it. So I guess you honor Charlie Kirk
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: by buying more guns based on that logic. Yeah, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know about y'all. That sounds kind of ridiculous
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to me. See, even if Charlie Kirk had a gun yesterday,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't have protected him when somebody got to drop
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: on you, they got you. Only thing that could have
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: saved Charlie Kirk yesterday was keeping guns out of the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: hands of violent excremas like the person who killed him.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And the only way to do that is with common
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: sense gun reform. I believe we can find a way
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to protect our Second Amendment rights while also having some
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: type of common sense gun reform that keeps the guns
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: out of the nut jobs hands who want to exercise
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: their right to bear arms to kill those of us
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: who want to exercise our freedom of speech. Please give
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the gun lobbyists, the gun industry, and politicians who refuse
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to create common sense gun reform the biggest he huh,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 9:28
