like this here. Uh the mental part of that that
you're uh that the young lady addressing you know, I
I we got to understand what what is mental? Mental
(18:26):
is a person that's out of touch. And a person
that is out of touch would hurt you. I mean,
they would actually hurt you in any way they can.
That is a mental person. And it might come with
a job, or it might come with the abuse of
(18:51):
when they was a child. It could come from anything.
But those people that are actually mental is not getting
no help because they don't call it mental and then
they got the job title to protect them and help
her to speak on that, I offer my assistant to
(19:14):
go into the police department law enforcement period to speak
on how drugs affect the workplace. One thing about mental
it's dangerous because those people that really think that they're
(19:36):
okay simply because you've got a job title and you
ignore the biggest problem in the world. It's it's it's
it needs to be addressed.

they would actually hurt you in any way they can.
That is a mental person. And it might come with
a job, or it might come with the abuse of

But those people that are actually mental is not getting
no help because they don't call it mental and then
they got the job title to protect them and help
her to speak on that, I offer my assistant to
(19:14):
go into the police department law enforcement period to speak
on how drugs affect the workplace. One thing about mental
it's dangerous because those people that really think that they're
(19:36):
okay simply because you've got a job title and you
ignore the biggest problem in the world. It's it's it's
it needs to be addressed.
