Speaker 1 (00:01):
While the numbers from the weekend shootings are in and
guess what, it is not good. It is not good.
In fact, it was the deadliest week of mass shooting
gun violence this year, with at least eighty two people
wounded or killed. This is according to USA Today. The
shootings in which four or more people were killed or
injured occurred in Philadelphia, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Saginaw, Saginaw, Michigan, Omaha, Nebraska,
(00:29):
and other cities. The shootings occurred where people should have
felt safe, like, for instance, graduation parties or a nightclub,
a popular entertainment district and a strip mall. We're just saying,
you know, hopefully these lawmakers will get it and they
won't let us down this time. They'll actually come up
with a viable solution. But you know we have to
(00:52):
do what we can do too, and that's take action
and vote. These are terrible statistics. This is terrible. I mean,
you know, you get tired of saying it so much.
You know that doesn't stop it from happening. I mean, look,
you know you want to draw attention, right and you
want to you want to spread the news, But as
far as giving commentary, I don't even know what to
(01:16):
say at times run out of words. I mean, you know,
how many times can you say this is this is unacceptable,
this is something has to be done. How many times
can you say we've got to change these laws? How
many times can you do any of that? You know?
And we're just sitting up here going like you know,
(01:36):
and now we make these announcements like it's the norm. Yeah,
it's like we're sitting ducks waiting for the next one
to happen. You don't know when or where, but you know,
that's how out of control the situation is. And you know,
I just I don't know what else to say. I
don't know how to keep saying condolencens go out to
the family, our hearts and prayers go out. You know,
(01:59):
I don't know how to keep saying that over and
over and over because we say it so much. What
does it mean? Yeah? Right? Where they act to stop
this from happening again? And are really the only ones
that care? I mean, you know, the people that are
speaking out about it. What about these lawmakers the Senate?
(02:19):
You got to vote them out, man, God, to get
rid of these people that don't care about you and
your kids. Or your families. No matter what they say,
it's about what they do, right, right, right, Tommy, I
hope crews get voted all the way out, man, and yeah,
(02:40):
yeahs in Texas. Yeah. But it's amazing, man, how you
discover the true feelings of the people who reside in
this country because these people keep winning the elections, because
they keep having constituents that vote for them. Ted Cruiser
(03:01):
is in office because people put him there. Abbot is
in office because we put him there. Trump was president
because they put him there. Listen, man, it's three hundred
and fifty some million people in America. Over seventy million
voted for Trump. Now, if you think about the voting age,
the voting age, and I don't know the percentage of anything,
(03:24):
but of the three hundred and fifty some million people
in this country, I'm assuming half of them are voting
age okay, eighteen, and it's a lot of kids. And
then you know, you got the people that's real old
that don't even go to pose them or whatever. But
let's just say half of that. Let's just say it's
a hundred and eighty million voters seventy million voter for Trump.
(03:50):
That's pretty scary, right, that's here what exactly every other
one Trump for the second time, boy boy. Yeah, that's
(04:11):
the scary part, and that so many people think and
feel that exact same way, which is going to make
it difficult to get rid of these people. But if
the people on the other side all went to the polls,
we could change it. But because they do this electoral
(04:31):
vote and they do it by state, and Texas is
who Texas is. Yeah, and y'all almost got rid of
a couple of boys, but not quite. You've got to
keep going more other folks to go to the polls.
That's right, that's right, all right. Coming up next it
is the nephew in the prank phone call for today.
