Dr. Greg Fremin - Former HPD Captain Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six, twenty three. Our time here this morning news. Doctor
Greg Freman, former HBD captain, joins us to talk about
gun control. Here we go again. Every time there's a shooting,
we have this discussion. Let's let's start. Let's start with
gun control. Is there is there a law that does
not exist as relates to guns that, if it did exist,

(00:21):
would make this problem go away.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
No, there's not, Jimmy, and good morning, and thanks for
having me on. And your commentary was spot on. And
that's exactly, unfortunately, what the left does, and they don't
want to address the elephant that is in the room,
and that's to address these violent felons that keeps having
a revolving door and they're getting put back out on
the street. And the analogy that I would give is Chicago, Illinois.

(00:46):
They have the most stringent gun control laws literally in
the nation, but they also have the highest homicide rate.
So the fallacy that if we have more laws restricting
gun ownership and purchasing, it's going to reduce violence is
just it's absurd, It really is. In my opinion.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Although I think criminal violence we have to kind of separate,
don't we criminal violence from political violence, which is what
happened yesterday in Dallas, to what happened to Charlie Kirk,
what has happened in the whole fariday of places mainly
perpetrated by the progressive left. We have somehow managed to
weaponize people who are on the edge emotionally or mentally

(01:24):
with words. And yet we can't get the people using
those words, you know, Comparing Ice to the Gestapo, comparing
President Trump to Adolf Hitler, we can't get. We can't
seem to get people from stopping using those terms, and
it does seem to be having an effect on people
who are emotionally unstable.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Now, there's no question in my mind that the rhetoric from
the left has created this environment as we have seen
play out. And you have an entire population of individuals
that are mentally unstable, and all they need is that
trigger word that is being said Nazi, gestopo, fascist, etc.
The same mantra that they've been preaching, and it impacts

(02:05):
people that truly are mentally ill and they need help.
But they act on these words, and words do matter significantly.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Okay, Well, let me ask you a really deep question here,
and I don't mean to take you to an uncomfortable place.
But I think inquiring minds at this point want to
know they continued to do it. They double down on it,
They triple down on it. They've repeatedly been asked to
stop doing it, they won't stop doing it. What is
the end result that these people are looking for? Do
they want the political violence to continue? And if so,

(02:33):
for what purpose?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Jimmy, I honestly deep down inside, and that is my opinion,
and I think that's the opinion that many of us hold,
is that they want us to just go away. And
it's as tragic as that is when you have tens
of thousands of people that are jumping for joy and
dancing and mocking the death of Charlie Kirk. And these
people are not all mentally arranged. Many of these people

(02:58):
were professionals, nurses, educators in higher education. So you have
an entire group of people out there that just want
our voices, silence and an answer to your question. They
think that they just did a poll the other day
soing that fifty seven percent of the left believe that
it was acceptable for what occurred to Charlie Kirk. Justifiable

(03:21):
fifty seven percent. Now, I don't know who they polled.
But that's a very alarming number and it's very shocking
to our society as a whole to think that we
have people in this country to think that murder and
assassination is an acceptable form to silence your opponents when
you don't like what they're saying.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's a bad combination, is it mental illness combined with
a lack of morality. That's pretty tough to overcome, that.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
It is. And again, you have a group that does
not want to address the mental health care crisis that
we have in this nation, especially with violent offenders. And
their answer is they make them the victims instead of
the offenders that they are, and they remove the victim's
status from the true victims. Out of giving them assistance
and help, they affirm their behavior. And that's what condones

(04:05):
this type of attitude in the nation unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
All Right, sir, thank you for observation. I do appreciate it.
