  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are. This is our last
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: break of the day. The show is almost done. Thank
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you for listening. We appreciate it. Steve, give us some
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: closing remarks please, Hey.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: You know what this is for young people, grown men too.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I want you all to think about this. You know,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: in light of the recent tragedy that had happened at
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the track meet in Texas between this young African American
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: boy and his young white kid, where that whatever happened,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: how it happened. Yet what ended up happening was this
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: young black boy reached in his book bag and got
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a knife out and stabbed this white kid. Now, the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: tragedy in this is that this one young man is dead,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: he's gone man, and and over what over? But the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: other tragedy is this black boy who was seventeen years old,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: just got thirty five years. He's ruined a great portion
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: of his life and over what you know. Look, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: know we have this Second Amendment in this country that
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: allows everybody to bear arms. I got that, and the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: gun laws in this country are loose. This wasn't even
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: a gun law. This was a knife incident. But what
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I want to say to young people is if you
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: carry a weapon of any kind, I want you to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: understand that now that weapon becomes an option. So if
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you run up into any conflict, your resolution skills are
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: up only up to a certain point. I've always used
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: my mouth to resolve matters. Even growing up, I never
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: carried a weapon because you know, at one point in time,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it's gonna come down to it. But we're gonna throw
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: these hands. If we couldn't resolve it, we was gonna
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: throw these hands. That's not the world we live in today.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So what I want you young people out there is considered,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: is the option that you're carrying comes with consequences, dire results.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: If this young man didn't have a knife in his
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: book bag, we wouldn't even be having this conversation because
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: this incident would have resolved itself some other way. Look, man,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: this is a tragedy on so many levels. But if
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you didn't have this knife, none of this happened. This
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: stand your ground. It don't matter when you got to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: do time this self defense. It don't matter when you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: lose thirty five years of your life. It don't matter
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: when a young boy loses his life over what. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: cannot think of anything that I've ever argued about with anybody,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: any conflict I've had with anybody where the best results
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: would be one of us to lose our life. But
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know what, I removed the gun and the knife
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: as an option, because then, guess what when you don't
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: have a knife or a gun, here's what the options become.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: All right, man, my bad? I bet you, I bet
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you bet not push me again? Did he push you again?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Then you swing on him. Eventually all fights get broken
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: up or stop for some reason. That would have been it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Oh hey, man, how about this one? All right, my bad,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I'm out and just walk away. Man, any one of
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: them options would have been better a fistfight and embarrassment,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: they calling you chicken you walked away. Any of them
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: options would have been better, man, than this young boy
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: losing his life. And now you, Fina sit at seventeen
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: in a prison cell for thirty five years in the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Texas Department of Corrections. This is heartbreaking all the way
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: around the board. So what I'm saying to you is this,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: whatever decision you make, I want you all to remember
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that all these decisions come with a consequence. These young
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: boys that carry guns everywhere, it's a fourteen year old
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: had a gun on him. Why at fourteen? Man, let
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: me tell y'all something. The hood ain't that hard. You
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: can say it is, and you can make it up
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: if you want to. Now, if you're living in one
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: of these gang bangle cultures, which is complete ignorance. Again,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: if you cripping in blood and then you out here, man,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I got news for you, partner. You out here cripping
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in blood for no red crips and bloods don't even
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: know why they banging. Ask them. They don't even know
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: this territory you fighting. You ain't even homeowners in it? Yup, man,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: this is so crazy what we're doing. Man. Now, listen,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: all this happened to this young man who lost his life,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and all this happened to this young man who's on trial,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and now he's faced with what we got to deal with,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: all our lives and all white jewelry. How you think
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that's gonna work out? All white jewelry. A seventeen black
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: person kills a white person. Twelve jury members of his
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: peers they picked all white. You don't stand a chance.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Keep yourself out these situations. Young people. Stop carrying guns
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and knives and find another way to resolve confluence. It
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is always good to walk away, live to see another day. Man,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It's what a tragic situation. Let's make better choices. Y'all.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Get in these kids' heads fathers. Tell them you don't
• 6:33
