  Speaker 1: You're trying to be a fake ass charlamage.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: They only wants charlamage. Damn Chalomame who is given dusky
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: other day soon now well, Sexy red Donkey today for Thursday,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: August fourteenth goes to two teenagers in my home state
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: of South Carolina. They're teenagers, so I don't have their names.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: But this isn't really about them. It's about us, Okay,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: a teachable moment. See, I'm thinking about President Trump and
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the federal takeover DC, the police, and you know, mobilization
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: of the National Guard.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, we know.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: This is yet another distraction that the Trump the Trump
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: administration has created to attempt to get people to stop
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: talking about the Epstein files. But listening to the President
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: cite a lot of false and misleading claims about murder
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and youth crime in the nation's capital got me thinking,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: just because the data and information he may have cited
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: is wrong, doesn't mean that youth crime in DC and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: all over the country isn't happening. Because, let's be honest,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: we all know it is, and we all know why
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it is because the powers that be aren't doing anything
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to truly combat crime in our communities. They never have Okay,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: if you aren't addressing the social and economic factors that
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: contribute to crime, then you're not serious about combating crime.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: But we're gonna get back to that because I need
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to talk about these teenagers. In South Carolina, two juveniles
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: have been detained for stealing a train and causing a derailment.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: This is impressive, stupid, but impressive because I've never, ever, ever,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: ever heard of somebody commit a crime like this. Let's
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: go to NBC four for the report.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Police two teams in Lawrence County are facing charges for
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: taking a joy ride in a train. Lawrence Police said
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it happened sometimes Saturday night. They say two juveniles unlawfully
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: entered both the Carolina Piedmont Railroad and CSX Transportation Railroad
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: facilities and stole a train. Investigators say they drove around
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the rail yard and when they tried to return the engines,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: they crashed into parked railcars, causing a derailment. Official say
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: both those teens face several charges that include second degree burglary,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: grand larceny, and malicious damage to property.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Listen, I need all my nieces and nephews out there,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: please listen to your uncle. Shalah If you can take
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the time to unlawfully into a railroad facility and figure
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: out how to start an engine of a train that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: was connected to other trains, and then drive those three
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: trains around the yard before taking them onto the rail
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: line that connects toward Greenville. If you can figure out
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: how to do all that, damn it, you can do anything. Okay.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: There is literally nothing in your mind can conceive that
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you can't achieve because your brain told you to do
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: this and you did it. First of all, my whole life,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I've never thought about driving a train ever. But those
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: are the kinds of thoughts that if we were investing
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: in our kids the way we should, they could share
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: with us and we could help them become an actual
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: train operator. I wish that these two kids would have
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: told an adult that, Hey, I want to drive a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: train and connecting with someone who can make that dream
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: come true for them, Okay, like a ride along program
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: or something. Because I just googled this morning, how do
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you become a railroad train operator? And correct me if
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong. All the railroad train operators out there, but
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: from what I see, the requirements are pretty basic. Okay,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you could become a railroad train operator by having a
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: high school diploma are the equivalent of it. It says
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you got to pass a physical exam and complete training
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and certification through the Federal Railroad Administration. An entry level
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: positions often require on the job training and advancement to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: engineer roles. They typically involve years of experience as a conductor,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and they make pretty decent money. Okay. The best paying
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: jobs in railroads include locomotive engineers. They earn around eighty
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: five grand a year, railroad conductors make about sixty five
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a year, Railroad yard masters which I don't even know
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: what that is, earn up to seventy grand a year,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and signalance WWITCH operators can make over eighty grand. My
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: point is, kids, if you can spend time and energy
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: doing the wrong thing, you can use that same time
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and energy to do the right thing. But this is
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: where we, okay, come into play. We are feeling a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: lot of our kids. Man. I already know that Trump
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: administration wants to make America a police state, but making
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: America a police state isn't going to solve the problem.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You really want to combat crime, you have to deal
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: with the social and economic factors that contribute the crime.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know why I invest so much of my personal time, energy,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and resources into mental health initiatives. It's because I understand
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: that if you help someone be the best version of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: themselves mentally and emotionally, you make society better. Okay, when
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you help someone deal with their unheald trauma and that
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: pain and hurt the individual is feeling, when you help
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: them get some healing, they don't go out here and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: project that pain and hurt on the other people. Okay,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: but that is dealing with what's in people's head and heart.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We got to start dealing with what is in people's pockets. Okay.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Acting like poverty and crime don't go hand in hand
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: is retarded. Okay. You have to give these kids opportunity
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and something to do. Idle mind is a devil's playground.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: When kids don't have nothing to do and no legal
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: means and making ends meet, they will resort the crime
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: unless you provide them with opportunity. We know the answers
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to all these problems. Are governments know the answers to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: these problems. Okay. We got to stop saying the system
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: is broken, all right. It's designed to do exactly what
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: it's doing. For example, you want kids to not turn
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the crime. Okay. You need strong family support, which is
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: why this system goes out its way to tell families apart.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: You need positive community involvement, after school programs, recreational activities,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: mentorship programs, commute the engagement, youth clubs, religious groups. You
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: have to give these kids a real sense of belonging.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: But they cutting funding for a lot of these programs. Okay,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: because they know it gives them purpose. Of course, education,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of course, job training and employment opportunities. Okay, Social and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: emotional development that goes into the education piece. They need
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to have social and emotional learning from pre k to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: twelfth grade. Teach these kids empathy and compassion, conflict resolution skills.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: We know the solutions to these problems, but we don't
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: implement them because the school the prison pipeline is big business. Now,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: let's get back to the real root cause poverty and inequality. Okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: address that and you getting right to the root cause
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of reducing the risk factor associated with crime. Mental health support.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I will stress that until the day I die. Okay,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: help them deal with their trauma and emotional distress. Early
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: intervention programs okay, target these at risk youth. Not by
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: militarizing the police and sending the FEDS into these cities.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Target them with early intervention programs that can prevent them
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: from developing harmful behaviors and trajectories. Okay, trade schools, steam programs,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: job call and once again, mental health services. Okay. See
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: when I look at these kids who went for a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: joy ride on this train before they deralted, I don't
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: see lost causes. Okay, I see the right energy going
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: in the wrong direction. Because once again, if they can
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: come up with it and idea to go into a
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: railroad facility, start a train and drive it, then they
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: can walk into a trade school and then how to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: do HVAC. Okay, they can go to school in major
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and anything in steam. But we have to be their guide.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: We have nobody coming to save us because the upward
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: mobility of these youngins and queens is not part of
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the plan of their system. Please give these young teenagers
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to stole that train in South Carolina the biggest sy hall.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: But we have what have them? I mean, look, oh yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I knew that already. Hi Jess, how are you? I'm good?
