Speaker 1 (00:02):
Ah, when did we all get this dump? Almost only
counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear warfare. I don't
see anybody, so it doesn't count. I'm the chef. I
want to hear one thing. Yes, Chef, come on, man,
(00:22):
here's your brain. The ym Angry Podcast start now. All right,
it's the ym Angry Podcast. We are back. It's been
a little while. We took a little break, kind of
figured out some things, figured out life, worked on some
(00:47):
different quality issues we've been having, and now we are
back and better than ever. I think. This is the
chef and uh, we're here in the man Cave Studio,
the Freestyle man Cave Studio here in northern Dayton, and uh,
(01:09):
you know, there's been some things over the last couple
of weeks that I want to address that I've wanted
to talk about, but I wanted to get out of
the super publicized sides of things. You know, this this
this new school shooting again. It it just you know,
(01:30):
and honestly, it breaks my heart. You know, we we
have we have mass shootings, and mass shootings are bad,
killing more than four or five people in a single run.
And that's you know, said kind of tongue in cheek.
But you know, you know, killing killing any amount of
(01:54):
people in in the course of your day is probably
not a good thing for you to do, obviously, But
when you when you go out and you and you,
you go out with the intention of killing multiple people.
And this one, the more and more you hear about it,
the more and more that that goes goes into it,
(02:16):
the more you find you know, it's you know, he was, he,
she whatever was. You know, it was deeply disturbed. And
one thing that I don't know if anyone else caught on,
(02:38):
but the one thing in the in the two manifestos
that I saw, and I didn't get a fully full
chance to read all of them, but they were there.
Somebody was showing and I just happened to see it
as I went by. Somebody was showing how in the
two manifestos between the the Texas shooting and the of
(03:06):
the Presbyterian Church school and this, uh, this recent one
in Minneapolis, is that both of them talked about taking
the innocence of the youth, and in in that, you know,
(03:29):
I thought that was was interesting and disturbing and and
kind of you know, I happen to listen to some
Eric Erickson the other day and he he surprised me
and he came out right out and said, it honestly
sounds like demon possession. And we talk about how, you know,
(03:55):
as as a Christian, I I've I've kind of kind
of talked about it with my wife, who who is
has a degree in psychology, and you know, just what,
you know, what this whole thing looks like, and it yes,
you know, it can be it seems like it's a
(04:16):
mental health issue. But we've talked about it kind of
kind of at length, and it really feels more than
more than just a mental health issue, as a spiritual
condition an issue with the fact that it could be
(04:38):
demon possession, it could be an influence of that kind
of of of strong man in the community. And I
know that, you know, people don't talk about that, but
there is there are spirits, and there is is good
(05:00):
and evil in the world, and there is a God.
And honestly, there's a lot more going on than I
understand and I know. And so with that being said,
you know, I think that that we have to be
(05:21):
we have to be careful, we have to be aware
of what's going on, and you know, we can we
can shout and cry about whether there's guns, or whether
we should have guns, or or who thinks the guns
are good and who thinks the guns are bad? And
and the Constitution says that the guns should not be
(05:42):
infringed upon and so we shouldn't create new gun laws
or we shouldn't restrict guns, and we can and we
can say that we need responsible gun laws, or we
can say that we need to ban guns altogether, and
we can. We we can fight all all about the
(06:04):
weapons that we use to kill people. But you know,
I looked up, you know, the laws the difference between
the UK and America in in the murder rate, in
the homicides, and I thought, you know, and I just
wanted to get the full, full kind of picture between
(06:28):
you know, a country who who heavily bans guns and
a country who you know, embraces guns as a as
a weapon of safety and a weapon of security. For
our country. We you know, you can say anything you
(06:50):
want about our forefathers, but our forefathers held a strong
sense that you know, our government could could attack us
at any time because the second that we didn't want
to pay taxes for you know, as a as a
(07:13):
group because we weren't being represented represented and we we honestly,
as a country at that time, in seventeen seventies seventeen sixties,
we just wanted to be represented. We just wanted to
have a vote too, you know, be able to to
(07:39):
say yes, we need we need to be you know,
we need these taxes or no. And we wanted some
of that money that we were paying the government to
come into our own country. You know, we were spent.
We were sending taxes on sugar, we were sending them
taxes on on tea. We were sending them taxes on
(08:02):
the things that we grew, you know, an overall excise tax,
and import tax and export tax. We you know, we
were paying taxes to the government for everything, but we
weren't getting anything in return. You know, there there wasn't
a giant British you know military here keeping us safe
(08:26):
from you know, the Native Americans or the French or
the Spanish, because there were French and Spanish settlements in
the in the United States, which was not the United States,
which would have been America or North America as it
is now. I mean, it just would have been America
(08:47):
at that time. But you know what they what what
they built, what they put into the Second Amendment was
the right to protect yourself. You know, I at this
point in the US, if we win and rounded up
(09:08):
all of the guns, we would still at least for
fifteen or twenty years, probably still have gun violence because
of gangs, because of cartels, because of rowdy Canadians. I
(09:33):
don't know, I mean, you just you know, Mexico doesn't
control their guns. You know, you've got in Europe it's
a little different because the European Union has made an
effort to control the guns and stuff like that, and
so there aren't there aren't as many weapons in the country.
(09:57):
And honestly, there may never have been as many weapons
because you know, as Americans, we have relished and we
have have you know, as law abiding citizens. You know,
we've made guns of hobby. You know, what better to
protect yourself than to be and and than to be
good with the weapons that you're using to protect yourself.
(10:20):
I mean, think about you know, the Revolutionary War. You know,
we were a bunch you know, the these people were
a bunch of farmers and and a bunch of of
you know, there were some some people adventurers and stuff.
You had your john Smith's and things like that. It
came over to the country. But but it was it
(10:41):
was a vast amount of people that had come to
the country for political and religious freedoms and so to
to you know, at that point the you know, most
of those people weren't well versed in guns. You know,
(11:04):
maybe some of them had learned because of the the
way that the terrain was that there wasn't cleared cities
that we didn't have you know, big populations in places
other than maybe you had. You know, you had started
up building bigger you know, bigger towns and I would
(11:26):
say they were only towns in Boston and you know
New New York, which I don't think was named New
York at the time, and you had you know, Philadelphia
and in those places that you know, population had accumulated.
But it's not like there was a million people there
(11:47):
or you know, five hundred thousand people there. Probably you know,
it was more like twenty or thirty thousand people. And
you know, so we weren't we we weren't as well versed,
but we were getting that. You know, some people had
(12:08):
to be well versed in guns because they had to
do it to survive. You know, you still had you know,
black bears in the northeast and moose and things like
that that honestly could kill you at any moment. So
(12:28):
we when we argue that you don't know what the
the forefathers wanted, you know, wanted from it that they
were only there to protect from, you know, to to
shoot some deers and things of that nature and and
go duck hunting and and and stuff like that, it's
(12:51):
not the truth. They they knew that your their government
could attack them, and they went through that that you know,
there wasn't there. You know, sometimes there's not a peaceful solution.
And if they were going to create a government that
was going to be over them here in the US,
(13:17):
you know, within their own borders, within their own locality,
then they needed to do that with the reassurance, especially
at that time, the reassurance that they could they could
defend against it, that if if there was a tyrannical
(13:40):
you know, leader, then they could defend against that. And
you know, right now, one of the main and even
during World War two, the Japanese said, you know, the
one thing that they would they didn't realize that they
(14:01):
did was attack a population of millions of gun owners.
You know, that was why that's that's also why other
countries have not just formally come marching in and you know,
ran boats up to our shores and attacked. You know.
(14:21):
That's one thing you can say about any European country
that you know, control that have banned guns is that
if an army rolled up, then all of those people
in that town or in that coastal region are soft targets.
(14:43):
We're in the US. You roll up to any coast
and you'll have your soft targets, but you'll have a
group of ten to fifty thousand people ready to shoot
shoot at you in any moment. And that's not just
the war the army coming up. That's that's the the
(15:07):
rural population and the the the people that that own guns.
I mean, you know, two three hundred million people in
the US two hundred are eligible or so to own guns,
and they sell somewhere between you know, one hundred million
(15:33):
guns a year, and so they say there's around four
hundred to five hundred million guns in the US and
(15:54):
we have a population of probably gun ownership of you know,
one hundred, one hundred and fifty million probably is what
I figure based on who's eligible, you would think, you know,
there's about a one hundred million kids in the US
between the ages of zero and eighteen or twenty one,
(16:19):
and you know, you've got about one hundred and twenty
five thirty thousand women and about seventy thousand men and
between that or seventy million, sorry millions on both of
those men. And you figure that maybe about one hundred
(16:41):
and fifty million of the women and men are legal
have not committed felonies or whatever or more or health
issues or mental health issues or anything like that. And
that's probably, you know, actually really low. But you know,
(17:03):
you put those numbers together and just about everybody that
could own my own guns could own about have about
three or four guns. Now personally, I've lost them, all
of my guns in a terrific you know, river boating
accident that I just can't find them. But you know, anyhow,
(17:29):
the guns, though, are just a tool. And we and
I know that we can say that, and but having
the accessibility to guns makes it far more likely that
you could get shot by guns. You know, it's the
(17:51):
whole live by the sword, die by the sword type thing.
You know, if you walk around the streets with a sword,
and fifty million other people walk around the streets with
the sword. Then it goes to reason that sword violence
would probably go up because we get excited, we get
(18:13):
we get crazy, you know, we feel that we've you know,
we get in our feelings and get emotional and and
you know that kind of thing, and then we we
spout off and we do something stupid. And so I
do think that, you know, if the world were perfect
(18:37):
and we could you know, trust our governments two to
uh not attack us, to not to be a benevolent
and upstanding units, then I think that it would be
(19:03):
you know that not having guns would be wonderful. Not
having missiles would be great. Not having to have autonomous
you know, drones that we send to other countries and
blow their stuff up would be cool. And honestly, if
(19:24):
we had none of those things, then it would make
not having to have them so much more easy because
it would make the world bigger again. And what we've
done by creating all of these weapons that can reach
across the globe and everything is we've made the world
(19:45):
so small that you have to have a defense system
that can be activated in seconds as opposed to back
even during World War Two when when honestly rockets were
being invented and being you know, starting to be used
(20:09):
by the Germans and and and things like that that
you know, you could see, you know, you could you
could still have a sentry post near the border, see
five to ten miles. You know, you could see that,
and you would know that within the next you know,
by by mourning or by you know, in the next
(20:30):
couple hours, four or five hours. You know, you may
be attacked, but but most likely it's just a you know,
you're getting mortar attacked or you're getting you know whatever.
And so you know, your your attack your attack speed
wasn't what it is today. Now, your attack speed is supersonic.
(20:51):
You know, it's almost non seeable, and you and and
sometimes it is non seeable because it's stealth technology, you know,
and they're honestly, the more and more we get to
the point where it's autonomous and casualties happen, But then
(21:14):
the casualties from each country don't happen from the actual attack.
You know, there is no collateral damage from from the
attack on our side because we don't have anybody in
the battle there. We're just sending a drone to blow
stuff up, and so the collateral damage is all on
(21:35):
their side and it becomes very impersonal and it's scary.
But that's not what we're talking about today. We're talking about,
you know, the legacy of what should happen from you know,
we want to talk about how we how we prevent,
how we stop these school shootings, in these school school
(21:57):
attacks from happening. I mean, this is this transgender person,
just for the fact that he was transgender, or he
or she was transgender, they were transgender, to be politically correct,
barricaded the door. I don't care if you're your cisgender, gay,
(22:22):
non binary, straight, afflicted with any kind of of whatever.
You know, you got smallpox or you got any you
know anything, I don't. When you go and you you
(22:48):
do things that do not allow people to escape, you're
just there to cause a mass, mass tragedy. And if
you if you didn't, if you didn't have guns, you'd
(23:11):
use a pressure cooker as a bomb. You'd you know,
you you would figure out a way to still make
that happen. You know those people, you know, not having
guns is going to dissuade a few people that commit suicide.
(23:35):
You know, honestly, the suicide rate would go down quite
a bit without guns. It would just change from guns
to pills. You know, really a lot of a lot
of the suicide it's pills anyhow, or drugs or you know,
some kind of some kind of of easy way out
(23:59):
and guns seemed like that that sometimes. But but these
people who are who are are committing mass murders or
mass tragedies. You know, this guy, this guy didn't just
or this person didn't just wake up in the morning
and say, today's you know, today's the day that I
go out and commit a mass tragedy or a mass murder.
(24:24):
This guy, this person went out and and was there
at the at the school a week or two. But
a prior scouted the building, had been to the building
years prior when he went to school there, mother had
had had taught there. In all of this preparation, though,
(24:52):
is there no one out there that sees this guy
and says, are you are you okay? Are you do
you need some help? No one comes through and helps
this person with their mental health issues. Because you can't
(25:12):
tell me that this guy doesn't have mental health issues.
That this guy seemed like, oh, but he seemed so
well adjusted. No, he didn't. He has video and video
of him talking about how the innocence of the youth
(25:38):
is it needs to be is corruptible and how guns
and speaking in Russian, and he didn't seem like a
regular guy. Regular guys don't go out and turn them
in and change their names to Robin. I know, we
(26:01):
want to regularize that, but no one reached out to him.
And as a Christian, as a an American Christian, what
else do we have to do? Like we are not
you know, we're we're not trying to figure out a
(26:22):
strategy of how to how to keep ourselves from the
governments stealing our bibles or we're not allowed here trying
to figure out, you know, what's the best way to
get the Bibles, the Bible distributed to people, because all
we have to do is buy a Bible and distribute
(26:44):
it to people. And there isn't it's not it's not
like it's not anything else. So somehow, accountability wise, we
missed it as Americans in this country, as as Christians,
(27:14):
we missed a hurting person. And you know, on that
side of it that that it hurts, you know, because
when you miss a hurting person, Hurting people, hurt people.
(27:39):
People who are hurt hurt people. I mean, that's a
simplistic statement, but it's so true. Think about even when
you just just when you when you argue with your spouse,
when when things go down and you are I mean,
(28:05):
when you get hurt, you lash out just like the
just like the animals that you know are on there
and get their back up against the wall and fight
themselves out of a corner. When you get when you
when you get hurt and you feel like it's the end,
you lash out and try to make one last big stand.
(28:29):
And honestly, it wasn't. You know. It's funny how we
politicize these things and how we just just whatever we
want to do. You know, we push our agenda based
(28:51):
on whatever happens in the news and things of that nature.
But I mean, the Alabama Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth posted
a thing saying that, you know, there it's time to
recognize that there's a growing link between transgender and mass shootings.
(29:14):
And there he you know, he m he mentions there's
about nine mass shootings that have happened in the last
you know, four to five years or so, including the
the Minnesota shooting, and all of them are you know,
this is Denver shooting, Aberdeen shooting, Nashville, Georgia. Uh, the
(29:38):
Iowa shooter was was gender fluid. But we've we've we've mentioned,
you know, but that's nine nine shootings that you know,
if if it were if it were white bold guys
had shot nine, you know, nine of the last how
(29:58):
many ever shootings, then they would say, well, you know,
white ball guys are are a problem. We need to
start looking into what makes white bull guys tick. And
we've done that before because we've said skinheads are it.
They're killing all our black people. And at that time,
(30:22):
being a skinhead, there was there was a thing, you know,
you you set yourself apart, you showed yourself as as
you were this and you you did you know, you
were a white supremacist and you had that ideology or
that the mentality. And so I don't know why we
(30:46):
are not saying, can we not get you know, some
can we not figure out some mental health way to
help trans gender people? Maybe there's there are is a
huge population of well adjusted transgender people out there. I
(31:08):
don't think there's a huge population as huge a population
of transgender people as they want you to think there is.
But in this Verify a company who is very who
does verification of news and whatever, and obviously posts from
(31:31):
on on X got on and said, you know, just so,
just so everybody knows, there's missing context here. The majority
of mass shootings in recent years have been cisgender men,
and for that they or or men obviously cis gender
(31:53):
means that they identify with their assigned to birth. And
then it's it's great because they then go back to
a US Secret Service threat analysis released in twenty twenty
(32:18):
three analyzing mass public shootings over a five year stretch
from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, where they found the
attackers background were ninety six percent men, three percent women,
and two percent transgender, which really shows a tries to
(32:45):
skew it to it's ninety it's only two percent transgender here.
But that was in twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, where
we didn't do a lot of We weren't we weren't
(33:05):
as as fluid with who who was out, who was in?
Who was this? Who was that? You know, we are
now starting to follow it, and and none of those
those mass shootings had been had happened yet, and so
(33:29):
you know five year period or or a you know,
five years from period. You know, that's that's almost half
a generation of people. That's that's that's a completely different
time period. From twenty sixteen to twenty twenty. We we
hadn't had the pandemic yet. We were just coming into
(33:50):
twenty twenty twenty as a pandemic year. You know, things,
you know, things hadn't changed. The whole D D E
and I movement hadn't really pushed into things yet. We
were we were still you know, we still had the
the affirmative action and and things like that, and we
(34:12):
just we're just we we were a different it was
a different time period, and you can say that again
in twenty thirty that you know, twenty twenty to twenty
twenty five, it was a different atmosphere. They were recovering
(34:34):
from you know, COVID, they were recovering from you know,
they're just they were having troubles figuring out this this
transgender movement and how they were going to you know,
we we haven't we haven't created the structure to even
you know, it's almost like we said that if we
(34:56):
had a third party it would mess you know, it
wouldn't fit the system that we have now, and we'd
have to restructure for a third party and to add
a bunch of sexual orientations to whatever we're you know,
whatever we're we're doing, you know, especially in sports and
(35:22):
things of that nature. That's not how we have it
have it set up right now. We have two genders
set up, and those two genders are male and female,
and that's we have women's sports and we have men's sports.
There there isn't a transient gender sports. There isn't a
(35:46):
a gay sports or or a you know or whatever.
And the reason there isn't you know, gay or lesbian
sports or because you know, they pretty much which would
be men or women. I mean, they still you know,
identify as as that. And so but this, the whole
(36:09):
gender changing is is more to it than than just
being attracted to somebody else, you know, And so in
all honesty, there should be if if that's what we're
(36:31):
going to go to, where then we need to uh,
we need to make sure that we're changing things. You know,
that they have their their stuff and their stuff is
whatever whether I believe in transgender lifestyle or not, and
(36:56):
whether I would affirm it or not, you know, either
get the mental health the mental help you need to,
you know, and we need to put out to help
them with whatever decision that they're gonna make, because honestly,
(37:17):
there I've seen all kinds of different statistics and data
and things of that nature that you know, with with
the actual implica implications, with the actual implications put together
(37:42):
for that then there, you know, a lot of them
have chosen either not to not to get there, you know,
they're surgeries and things of that nature, and not to
(38:04):
go through with transgender changes, and that once they do
a lot of these hormone changes and things of that nature,
that they are regretful of doing that. And I'm not,
(38:28):
you know, not here to say that you should or
shouldn't do that, but I do know that for certain
reasons that we you know, there has to be a
gender assigning ability because there are people who are you know,
it's less than one percent of the population that are
(38:51):
born with both at birth for whatever reason, not here
to say or judge. I do have one in my
family that was born that way, and they I before
I knew them, before I was part of the family.
(39:13):
They chose and you know, and that and that's and
that's what they had to do at that time. So
the biggest thing though that I see beyond this is
beyond helping the shooter and helping, you know, try to
(39:36):
figure out how to to not get you know, to
to not have these incidents happen at all, is it's
that why do we run everyone through a metal detector?
(40:01):
In federal buildings? We have armed guards at every entrance.
We have all of these protections for our federal and
state buildings. Even the local city buildings have police officers
(40:22):
in them that guard against something like this. But in
schools run by a the the county, the state, the city,
we fight so hard to either have a person or
(40:47):
a couple people. We we are they're they're the they're
the whatever officer and you know, they're the the officer
for the for the building, blah blah blah there, you know,
And yet we don't secure our forty nine million young
(41:11):
people kids possibly up to fifty five million that are
in public schools and private schools. You know, government employees
(41:38):
get protected, but we're not going to but we're not
going to protect our kids. We're going to say that
(42:06):
these adults there's there are four point three million government
employees and maybe this makes it easier for them to
be protected. And one point three million of those four
(42:30):
point four point three million government employees are active duty.
So with state and local governments, you got about nineteen
million employees in the in the in the local and
(42:51):
state governments, and we protect all of those people with
a you know, a share for two. I know that
the government, I know that times are tough, money is tight.
You know, there are ways that the government can add
(43:12):
money to it. You know, even even if these schools
hired a private security firm, Yeah, it's more expensive probably
than having a sheriff sit at each school, or to
two sheriffs, you know, two officers. And we have metal detectors,
(43:36):
and we have you know, locked and blocked entrances from
the outside, and and we we create more emergency entrances
out of things, and and you know, you know, the
the entrance to a building is secured in that and man,
(44:01):
if your kid has to take an extra few minutes
to get in the building and you have to drop
them off a blah blah blah amount of time early,
or the school has to be somewhat lenient on getting
to first period. Then oh boy, let's inconvenience forty nine
(44:25):
million kids so that they can go home at the
end of the night or into the day safe and sound. Now,
would this have stopped Columbine, No, it wouldn't have. Would
it have lessened Columbine? Probably not. Would this have stopped Minneapolis? Yes?
(44:54):
Would it have changed the Minneapolis shooting, yes, stop to completely.
Maybe not. But having a police officer on the property,
having some security cameras or whatever on the property, like
(45:15):
you could run a mass security system set up with
two or three guys on the property of any school,
with some cameras, which costs nothing. Anymore, cameras cost zero.
I mean, you can get you could have ten or
fifteen cameras for less than a thousand bucks. And you
(45:41):
can't say the government doesn't have a bazillion cameras just
sitting around somewhere, whether they're new, old, or whatever. And
you can say, well, every year you got to upgrade
or every year you got a maintenance, and it has
cost this, and that it doesn't matter. You're now putting
a You're you're now putting at an extremely low price
(46:06):
on the lives of our kids and This is just
one more notch in my belt to say I'm going
to homeschool my kid. Because if you're the government, your only, main,
only big reason for existing is security is to keep
(46:31):
us safe in our country, is to be there to
make sure that the borders are secure and that we
have some sort of security in our lives. And honestly,
the government has been crappy with it. We have the
(46:53):
higher we have the highest murder rates and homicide rates
in the world in our country. And you know how
that's been happening, or when that started back in the nineties,
started steadily rising, not with newer and better, not with
(47:16):
the AR fifteens implementation or newer, better guns, not with
more people buying guns, because per capita, we probably had
more gun owners back in the fifties than we do
now by far. And the gun and there hasn't been
(47:40):
a new major gun caliber or style in fifty years,
maybe even one hundred years. But somehow we keep pushing
(48:03):
this stupid agenda that if we had, if we could
round them all up, if we could, we're gonna try
to round up four hundred million guns, as opposed to
putting three to five guys on a campus of a
school that holds thousands of people every day. I mean
(48:31):
some of these big schools they graduate five six hundred
people in each class, and some even more. But we're
gonna say, well, a school idea is enough. I never
(48:56):
had a school idea when I was in high school.
Our school I don't think still has school ideas. There's
no scan in, no, no nothing. We use zero technology
to keep our kids safe. We give them computers and
(49:21):
we say, go on the internet, do whatever you gotta do,
do what you're doing. And we don't. We don't put
parental guidelines on them, and that's on us parents. So
we let our kids get cyberbullied. We send our kids
to public schools that don't you know, this is this
(49:42):
is the parental accountability thing right here. We send our
kids to schools that don't have security. We we we
sit during Christmas vacation, we sit during you know, summer vacation,
(50:03):
and we wait. We count the hours to get rid
of our kids and send them back to school. And
when they go back to school, we are so relieved.
We've got so so much. Well, man, it's so great.
We're peace and quiet for seven hours a day. That
(50:25):
we're not even there, we're at work. Why do you
have kids again, because one day they'll take care of you,
(50:49):
But why would they take care of you because they
don't even know you. That's why. That's part of the
problem we have in this country is that we we
don't respect one another. Because we don't respect one another,
we don't respect our kids as humans. We don't respect
(51:12):
our parents as as being mature and wise and ahead
of our time because they're advanced in their time. There's
just there's there's there's not a level there. You know
(51:35):
that that level of respect is gone, that level of
of of responsibility. And I and I think that that's
part of it, is that we've tried to take responsibility
away from everyone and we've tried to put it on
whoever else we want or we can see that is
(52:01):
not us. Well, he wasn't taught how to do his
laundry growing up, so it's okay that he goes to
college without knowing how to do his laundry and just
doesn't know how to how to provide for himself. I mean,
(52:28):
he just never wanted to do chores and then things
when he was growing up. So we just didn't make
him and you know now it, you know, we laugh.
It's funny. Okay, if you want your kid to be
non self sufficient, there are there are places they can
(52:51):
take their clothes to get laundered. There are restaurants that
need people to come in every day to feed their kids,
to feed your kids, there are any number of places
(53:13):
that will take care of people pretty much from head
to toe. You can know, you can hire a maid,
you can all of this these different things. And it's
not that that some people don't need it because you know,
being being the the house parent, the house husband that
(53:38):
I am, now, I there are not enough hours in
the day to keep the house, the outside, everything in
tip top shape. I don't know how they did it.
I'm maybe I'm not the you know, maybe I'm not
the man that that my grandfather was or or anything.
(54:02):
And I'll and I'll admit that. But with my wife
working full time and and all of that, we still
prioritize our daughter. We prioritize that there are days that
we don't want, you know, we want to we would
(54:24):
want to send her off to whatever, but we prioritize
giving her the attention and and the the time that
she needs. You know, she's three and she needs some
(54:45):
attentions from time to time, and sometimes we see when
she's acting out. Yes, we still discipline. Yes there's a corner,
a spanking, you know, a whatever that you know, hitting
leads to. But also there's some time where acting out
(55:08):
leads to you need some time, you need to go
run outside, you need to redirection. And we we as
a society, we've tried to figure out all of the
ways that we could pawn the responsibility off on someone else.
(55:35):
And I think, here we are, you know, mass shootings happen,
and we're not securing places, you know, we're walking around
like you know, like we're taking the responsibility on our own.
And in a school, we've done everything we can do
(55:58):
to strip the ability to secure a location from our
our teachers, from our janitors, from our whoever. And we
(56:18):
also just and then, and then, and then we say, well,
this is such just a one off traggedy. How many
of these one off tragedies does it take two to
then be no longer a one off tragedy? You know,
(56:45):
how easy would it to be to have a campaign
that normalizes mental health issues, that allows you to to
think it's okay to go get help for mental health
issues and not normalizes it as in, you know, oh, everyone,
(57:07):
everyone has to you know, we have to we have
to be sensitive to your mental health, not not normalizing
it as in let's be overly sensitive and coddle these people,
but or or the things that we go through, but
normalize it as in, it's okay. It's okay to cry,
(57:28):
It's okay to be you know, to be down. It's
okay to to have depression and to have anxiety and
things of that nature. It is. It is not okay
to run them up and use them as a as
an excuse. You know, It's not okay for me to say,
(57:51):
I'm not going to feed my child because I don't
feel like getting out of bed today because of ADHD.
It's not okay to say, I don't want to get
off the couch. I'm going to sit here and watch
TV all day and the house is going to become
a disaster, and my child is going to run them
up because I have ADHD. Now, there are days that
(58:18):
she runs up and she is pretty good at three
years old at getting her own yogurts in the morning
and letting dad sleep an extra half hour with his
eyes half open while she plays in her bedroom and
has a yogurt, or you know, while I lay on
(58:39):
the couch and I give her some cereal and throw
some Curious George on and allow her to just absorb
that for a couple hours or an hour while I
catch an extra hour after having been up, putting her
back to bed and going, you know, and just the
(59:01):
normal everyday man over forty, you know, bathroom routine, sleeping
cycle type things. But it's not okay to use it
as an excuse to do why. It's why I was
(59:21):
not a good parent or a man. It's not an
excuse to why I got angry and yelled at somebody.
(59:44):
It's just not an excuse. And so we need to
normalize that. So normalize getting the help you need figuring
it out. All of these people who went and got
a degree in psychology that can't use it for anything
(01:00:06):
because it's not a master's or a doctorate, Well, these
people should have some training in psychology and should be
able to help somebody by at least listening to them,
at least forming a group that of like minded people
(01:00:28):
that are able to you know, you should be able
to do something and so all of these people out
there who need help, Let's get them some help. Let's
make an AI thing. Let's get these people some help.
Let's figure out the bottom line of all of this
(01:00:49):
PTSD stuff that allows our soldiers who fought, who put
their lives on the line and literally have put their
lives on the line for us because it was the
right thing to do, and have now put their lives
(01:01:12):
on the line because they're now homeless because they can't
fight PTSD the way that they need to, because they
don't have the mental capacity anymore to get past what
they saw. And some people maybe they'll never get past it,
(01:01:34):
but we're not helping them by allowing them to live
on the streets. And you're always going to have your
people who live on the streets. Even the Bible says,
you'll always have your poor and you're downtrodden, and you're
you know, and you're you're honestly mentally handicapped people or
(01:01:56):
mentally unhealthy people. You'll always have those people. You'll always
have your people with leprosy or whatever that that are
not able to function in society. And we should take
care of those people. You wanna you wanna go and
(01:02:21):
and and we want to to worry about all of
you know, these people that we've just sent out of
our country. Well, let's let's make our country great. Let's
let's let's take care of those people. You know. Let's
let's feed our hungry kids here in the US that
(01:02:42):
have you know, depravities because they're not you know, they're
not there, their family can't afford to feed them. Let's
stop sending millions of dollars to Ukraine. I understand the
the why we need to keep Ukraine sovereign, but we
(01:03:06):
were sending millions and billions of dollars to Ukraine to
pay for Biden's sons mess up, to pay for to
repay the the the mistake he made or whatever he
(01:03:26):
did in that country, and for the they that they
paid for the access to to Biden. Somehow they paid
for access to Biden, gave Hi there, gave Biden's son
a job, and somehow he messed it up, and we
now had to pay back millions and millions of dollars
(01:03:49):
so that they could they could stay sovereign, so that
the government could be in in place the way it is,
and so that you know, so secrets come out let's
(01:04:11):
take care of our people. Let's start with securing our schools.
I don't care that three people hiring three people cost
three hundred thousand dollars to a school. You know, and
(01:04:45):
if we if we just took public schools, there's about
ninety nine thousand public schools in the US. If we
just took public schools and secured them, private schools would
(01:05:11):
secure themselves. And maybe that private school charges a little
bit more, maybe it does. You know, what is it?
You know, what does that matter? If a private school
(01:05:33):
charges a little bit more, It doesn't, It doesn't. People
who go to private schools, people who send their kids
to private schools, they weigh the costs, and I'm pretty
sure that any of them would would jump at the
(01:05:59):
chance to have a more secured school. You know, if
we if and if we did this, we've talked about,
oh there's not there's not good jobs out there. You know,
we would create two hundred and ninety seven thousand jobs.
You know, we're talking about places coming in into our
(01:06:19):
into our in our state that are going to you know,
they just gave seventy eight million dollars, seventy six million
dollars to the airport in Dayton. Some of it's directly
to the airport, some of it's part of the project.
But they just you know, about seventy six million dollars
(01:06:43):
to create to create anywhere from two thousand and six
thousand jobs. We're putting about. We're putting three officers, three
security officers just for this school, just for the school,
each school, and some of them only need too. You know,
(01:07:06):
if you've just got you know, whatever, If you've just
got a building and everybody goes to one school, fine,
But if you have multiple buildings and you know, you've
(01:07:28):
got one guy, one or two guys that you know, check,
watch the cameras, keep on, keep on those guys, and
you get you know, I don't know that there's anywhere
that some AI program they you know, some programmer can't
AI program a security camera set up that allows them to,
(01:07:56):
you know, show unidentified people on the property. I can't
see that that wouldn't that wouldn't be something that Okay,
we boom it pops up at Google, searches their face
or whatever, and shows who they are, if they're a threat,
if they're not a threat. You know, I got no
(01:08:19):
problems with that. We already live in a in a
society of overwatch. We already live in a society. We've
talked about it. We live in a society that's in
surveillance all the time. You know, we're in surveillance in
our in our intersections, We're in surveillance when we're near
(01:08:42):
federal buildings, We're in surveillance anytime that you know, you
go to a major city, you know there are multiple,
multiple surveillances. And h why aren't we doing that? Why
aren't we securing our schools? You know why? And this
(01:09:11):
is this is gonna sound This is gonna sound redundant,
This is gonna sound tongue in cheek, this is gonna
sound perfect world situation. But it's because we let the
government freaking do this. We allow that. You know, you
think about how much you pay in dues. You pay
blah blah blah amount in dues every year. And if
(01:09:43):
I got to delete a couple of things here real
quick and say that you have I don't know, fifteen
hundred kids in your school. It just seems like a
round number. It seems pretty low. But if you have
one hundred kids, one hundred and some kids in your school,
this is just a smaller school. I guess one hundreds
(01:10:05):
some kids per class. And you got twelve year twelve
twelve classes, you know K through twelve, so you got thirteen.
Really that's a little over one hundred people in each class.
And you know, we're paying taxes sometimes a couple percent
(01:10:28):
of what we owe or of what we get is
our taxes for our kids or for the schools. And
say that we you know, we pay you know, every year,
we have to pay so much for dues for school
books and dues and stuff like that, and say that
(01:10:52):
that whole total ends up being I don't know, what
do you think five hundred five hundred bucks, which seems
pretty low again, you know, right off the top, you're
talking about not too much. Seven hundred and fifty yeah,
(01:11:17):
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And then they pay.
They get a bunch of money from or they're supposed
to get a bunch of money from these lotteries, millions
of dollars from these lotteries that we have right now.
The lottery in UH, you know, for the for the
(01:11:37):
UH powerball is one point two billion dollars. They're going
to tax that person over half, like fifty six percent
pretty much for that, you know, for that for that
lottery that's just one like this, it's gone over months now.
(01:12:06):
But for that, you know, that goes to your schools.
You know, if we took the money, if we took
the money that we spend in taxes and you spend
up to up to twenty five thirty percent in taxes,
if we took that money back from the government and
(01:12:28):
we spend it on our schools as a private school,
and we put millions of dollars from us into our schools,
you don't think we would hire great teachers. We don't
think we would hire great security. It's the government and
we want to and then we want to go in
(01:12:49):
and say, yeah, you guys who can't who can't run
our can't keep our our kids safe. You guys that
can't keep our borders safe. You guys that can't keep
you know, they can't they can't keep yourselves together, that
(01:13:10):
aren't they can't keep yourselves from corruption. Yeah, let's let's
give you guys all the guns. Now. You see why
(01:13:32):
it doesn't make sense to restrict guns. It doesn't make
sense also that we're not securing things with all these
guns that we're not. We're not securing our schools that
we're not, you know, And we can say all we
(01:13:55):
want about let's give let's give some school teachers some guns.
It's a good idea, but it's just one minute idea.
School teachers have guns. But we're not deterring anybody by saying, well,
some do and some don't. If we put a big
(01:14:18):
old sign up front that says you're coming through security
to get in our building or get on our property,
like you know, we don't have gates on our property
with you know, with an I you know, an ID
that allows the gate to pop up to get on
the property. We're not you know, some of our community.
(01:14:39):
You know, we're protecting our communities better than we're protecting
our schools that have kids who can't own guns. Who
blah blah blah. You know, they're kids. Let's keep them safe.
Let's get them home safe. I'm not saying let's put
them in tanks. I'm saying, let's do what we do
(01:15:02):
for us. If your if your company didn't secure you
and you worked with secure materials, with sensitive information, with whatever,
and they didn't keep you safe, and they and any
any moment you know that some crazy person could be
shooting you up. You're not in this business. You're not
(01:15:25):
working there, You're not going to that business place unless
you're crazy like a military person, unless you're a police
officer the ones to jump in the line of duty,
and more power to you if you are. But then
they arm you if you go to a job. Ninety
(01:15:46):
percent of people, if they go to a job that
is deals with sensitive material or puts them in the
line of danger, they either guard you or they give
you the weapons to fight against somebody that was going
to come at you. Now, I'm not saying we hand
guns to kids. I'm saying we we we secure the kids,
(01:16:11):
we guard kids, take care of them. You know, I
know I've ranted along a long time on this, but
you know there are multiple steps to it. There are
multiple layers to this, and I understand them, and I'm
showing you I understand these multiple layers. But the Second
(01:16:31):
Amendment says the guns should not be infringed upon. So
to get that changed is going to be a ton
of work and not and and honestly, I don't think
it should be changed. But let's start with the simple,
(01:16:53):
stupid problems and fix them. You know, the easiest fixes
are the easiest fixes, and most of the time those
easy fixes are the things that will actually work towards
towards actually impacting things. Let's impact people and let's keep
(01:17:18):
people safe. Honestly, it really is a thing that I
put on the list about about keeping my you know,
about setting my kid to school, and and you know,
(01:17:44):
I know that I don't have armed guards around my home,
but I also know that I'm going to protect my
child with my life, and that teacher has thirty five
children to protect with her life for his life. I
got better odds, and you know, with with Google and
(01:18:12):
AI and all of these different programs, I have all
the skills and all the tools that I need to
give my kid a good or better education than you
can than you can at schools. And the more and
more I think about socialization and things of that nature,
(01:18:35):
the more I put my kid into situations where they
have to talk to adults and have to talk to
other kids, and have to learn how to get into
a social situation like I'll take her to the park
and say hi to the other kids. Let's go ahead
and play with the other kids, get into you know,
(01:18:57):
that's what we deal with all the time. When we
walk in to a restaurant, when we walk into you know,
when we go to the bar, when we go clothes shopping,
or or we go try to buy a car or anything.
Is we have to deal with either people who are
older or younger than us, and we have to get
(01:19:19):
into a situation where we have to introduce ourselves and
we have to, you know, within a few seconds, tell
our tell our story, you know, if you're buying a car,
or my car broke down and I need a new car,
you know, and we we don't, for one, we don't
(01:19:44):
teach people how you know, kids, how to how to
be comfortable in a situation where you're meeting a new
person for a first time. And part of that is
is we you know, we have stranger danger, but we
don't teach them the nuances beyond what stranger danger is. Well, yeah,
don't put yourself in a situation that the guy with
(01:20:07):
the white van and the candy picks you up and
takes you but the person at the store that you
willingly just walked into. Talk to that person. Mm hmm.
Wave at a stranger. Not everybody out there in the
(01:20:31):
world is out to get you. There are those that
are and putting a thousand kids in a school, you know,
definitely put your kids at risk. But publicly, if we all,
(01:20:53):
you know, spent one hundred bucks a month and put
a thousand bucks into our into our schools every year,
an extra, you know, we all spent that, We all
put our money into our school systems and got to
choose where they went because of their you know, security,
(01:21:15):
because of whatever criteria you deem important, instead of being
lazy parents and just sending our kids to the school.
And I know a lot of people who have sent
their kids to public school. I went to public schools,
and but I always know that my mom, my dad,
(01:21:35):
my parents went to the school, checked out the school.
And a lot of times they did that, even before
we bought the house or or rented the house or
moved into the area, is that the schools were checked out.
And I don't. I don't. I don't feel like we
(01:21:57):
do we do that, like we do, like we did
you know, I obviously I haven't in the last few
times I've bought a house or rented a house that
because I didn't have kids to to to check the
school out. But I always know when I when I
when I moved into an area, what the rating of
(01:22:18):
the school was, just in case somehow sometime that that
would happen. Now, our school district does not have security,
doesn't have a ton of security. I'm sure it has
some security. A lot of the schools have on duty
(01:22:40):
officers that do their thing, do do the best they can.
And this is no indictment to the officers that will
already work on school campuses. It's just the fact that
we haven't given them resources to be the best they
can be, to be the highest security that they can be.
You know, it takes nothing to put like I said,
(01:23:04):
ten to twenty cameras on five or six buildings and
have a secure central location, closed circuit or whatever to
be able to secure a location. It doesn't take that
(01:23:28):
much to put fences or security checkpoint areas, security bottlenecks
around our properties to keep our kids safe there either.
You know, most of these guys that are shooting up
schools or walking on with bags of guns, and it's
(01:23:50):
not the bags of guns that are the issue. It's
the people who do not stop the bags of guns
getting on our property. Let's stop it. Before it happens.
Now you can say, well, what if this guy gets
(01:24:10):
through the security checkpoint because he says blah blah blah.
Then he says blah blah blah and gets through. But
how many did we stop or how many did we
deter from even showing up because there's a chance that
they don't even get through the security checkpoint. That's where
(01:24:32):
you know, it's it's just the level of care. Think
of the things that the that the bad guys think of,
and then stop those things. You know, the best security
is going into the mind of a bad person and
you know, fixing the problems. We haven't done a lot
(01:24:55):
of fixing problems over the last fifty years of laws
and regulations. We've done a lot of reacting to the
you know, things that have already happened. You know, the
best the best security is the security you never have
(01:25:16):
to use because nobody ever gets to that point. You know,
drenade launchers in the middle of the school would be
a great security as if no one ever had to
use them. So so I just again I went along
(01:25:46):
on this. I've got a couple of other subjects I
want to I want to talk about and uh, you know,
I may add them to this podcast, I may just
make a completely separate podcast. And just uh, you know,
the dust has settled a little bit, we're kind of
starting to see the picture. You know, transgender woman attacked
(01:26:07):
a school. And it really still gets me that these
those people from the last couple of shootings have talked
about attacking the innocence of our country. And you know,
we're taking we're more and more taking the Bible and
(01:26:28):
taking Christianity out. But that doesn't mean it's gone. That
just means that the religion of Christianity is gone. The
spirits are still there. The devil's still trying to attack you,
and and he's still trying to take you out and win.
And so you know, the more the more we we
(01:26:52):
we equip ourselves, the more that we build ourselves up
to be a beacon of light for God on, the
better we are, you know, the more we can we
can fight spiritually, the the better we are. And so
I think that you know that this is it for
this podcast, and uh, you know, and just pray for
(01:27:14):
you guys, and just pray that you know your your
kids get home from school safe and that you don't
ever have to worry about your kids, not so love
you guys, and uh you know this is the Why
Manger podcast. Sign it all saying cion or see you later.
I'll still a lega. Remember to follow, like, and share
(01:27:38):
