1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: This is a miracle, there is no question. And there

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: are problems in this country between police and community. Yes,

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: you are a donkey to the latest on that police

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: killing of a black man, now a new developments in

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: the deathly Spas shooting rampage. If it was a really

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: bad day for him and this is what he did,

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: and so we are in a state of emergency. Okay,

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: White supremacist violence is it always have been the number

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: one threat to oxicide. But I'm also very proud that

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: my wife was white. The breakfast club bitches, all right,

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: please tell me why was I your donkey of the day. Well,

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: donkey to Day for Thursday, October twenty f goes to

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the entire state of Texas well, not the actual people,

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: but the powers that be, in particular the Texas State Legislative,

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: the Texas Education Agency, Texas State Sendator Donna Campbell, who

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: sponsored the SB twenty one fifty eight bill, and that

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: bill is the reason they are getting done here today.

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: And of course Governor Gray Gabbett. Now, as a parent,

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: sending your kids to school nowadays, I'm sure if you're

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: like me, causes your anxiety to go through the roof.

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: All right, parental paranoia is at an all time high.

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: The only thing we can tell ourselves as parents is that, hey,

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: the kids will be fine, but we don't know for

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: sure that will be the case. We're just hoping for

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: the best. Okay. I thought that my kids would just

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: have to face some of the same things, you know,

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: we faced when we went to school. You know, the

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: things that we saw growing up. The teasing or if

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: you want to call it bullying, maybe a fight, or

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: teacher getting slick with your kids, or the kids grades

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: slipping because they're distracted, things of that nature. Okay, the

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: regular stuff. But this generation of kids has things they

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: have to worry about that I was born in the

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds didn't have to deal with. And that's a

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: school shooting. It's not saying they didn't happen back then.

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: First one I can remember was Columbine and that was

37
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine, But it seems like in twenty

38
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: twenty two, mass shootings at schools are something we as

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: parents have to think about, and truly don't believe anyone

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: is trying to fix the problem, because if they did,

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: we would have some type of gun control legislation in

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: this country and some type of comprehensive mandatory mental health

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: services from kindergarten to twelfth grade. I'm not saying that

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: will totally fix the problem, but man, it's a better

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: idea than this one. What do you mean this one,

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: uncle Charlotwell, let's go to w k X A n

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: NBC for the report. Police children in Texas tonight are

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: coming home from school with DNAH test kits and it's

49
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: all thanks to a twenty twenty one state law. But

50
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: it's causing anxiety for some parents in the wake of

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: the Uvaldi school shooting. But as Armonica Madden reports, the

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: law was intended for something entirely different. Like any parent.

53
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: Dallas mother Tracy Walder wants her seven year old to

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: be safe at school, but she says the fact that

55
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: kids are being sent home with DNA kits is rubbing

56
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: her the wrong way. No one wants to think about

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: taking their child's DNA because they may get killed at school,

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: especially after the Uvaldi shooting. We are treating in a

59
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: way schools like cor zones. So when I served overseas,

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: my DNA was on file. In twenty twenty one, Republican

61
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: and Democratic lawmakers passed the Child ID Act requiring the

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: Texas Education Agency to provide identification kits to K through

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: sixth grade families. DNA kits to help identify your child

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: if they get killed in a school shooting, Texas. That's

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: all y'all got everyday. Homeschool is looking like a better option.

66
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: Number one. There's a lot of people who don't feel

67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: comfortable sending their kids, you know, DNA out, you know,

68
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: to anyone for any reason, because of privacy reasons. You know.

69
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I know folks that don't even do the ancestry test

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: because they don't want to give out their DNA. But

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: the fact that elected officials have decided that they would

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: rather spend money on giving you a kit that reminds

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: you your child potentially could be the victim of a

74
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: mass shooting, a mass school shooting that leaves them so

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: damaged they won't be recognizable, instead of actually doing something,

76
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: anything that could correct this problem, is mind blowing to me.

77
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: I know, school shootings are complicated, you know what I mean,

78
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: But they usually involve two things, feelings and guns. All right,

79
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: These kids who have suicidal thoughts and anger and trauma

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: they haven't dealt with, and access to guns usually project

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: that hurt they're feeling onto other people, which is why

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: mental health literacy and social emotional learning are absolutely necessary.

83
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: You have to have mandatory mental health services and all

84
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: these schools. Okay, give these kids someone to talk to.

85
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Spend money on creating a mindfulness wellness climate in your school.

86
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: Make these kids feel safe to talk to someone, and

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: provide them resources for when they are ready to talk. Okay.

88
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: All these kids have emotional and behavioral problems, invest in

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: getting them to help they need. Okay, And how about

90
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: investing in some damn metal detectives and more security all

91
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: over these school campuses make schools like the airport. I

92
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: would rather my kids being venience having to go through

93
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: metal detectives and stuff like that, and have my kids

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: being inconvenience by having to do random school shooting drills okay,

95
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: school shooting drills and DNA kits being sent home so

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: parents can identify the bodies. This is what happens when

97
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: you don't have a plan to fix anything, because you

98
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: have decided that not restricting guns and providing proper mental

99
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: health services for people is not high on your list

100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: of priorities. Okay. The state of Texas is a larger

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: reflection of what's happening in this country in regards to

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: this issue. And what's happening is absolutely nothing. You know why,

103
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: because the NRA has these folks in their pocket, and

104
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: that's what they care about more than anything. Their pockets,

105
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: their bottom line. Okay. To NRA lobbies against gun control laws,

106
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: and it's the biggest gun owners organization in America. In

107
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the NRA spent about two hundred and fifty million,

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty ms. Okay, that's more than all

109
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: of the countries you know, gun control advocacy groups put together,

110
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: all right. According to some reports to R he spends

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: about three million per year just to influence gun policy.

112
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: But that's only the recorded contributions to lawmakers of gay

113
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: trust to believe considerable sums to spent elsewhere via pack

114
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: and independent, independent contributions, okay, and those funds are difficult

115
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: to track. What the moral of the story is lawmakers

116
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: be getting paid from a group that doesn't want gun control.

117
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: So all we are left with is DNA kits to

118
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: identify our child remains in the event that they are

119
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: the victim of a school shooting. And by doing this

120
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: and not coming up with any comprehensive solutions. They are

121
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: simply saying, not if, but when, let us pray. Please,

122
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: let me give the Texas State Legislator and the Texas

123
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Education Agency the biggest he hall heha heh. You stupid mother,

124
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: are you dumb? Nasty out here? Nasty out here? All right?

125
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey of the day, Charlomagne.

126
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Now coming up next, we have asked ye if you

127
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: have any questions about anything you need advice on. It

00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: could be relationships, friendships, finances, workplace situations. Call us up

129
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: one eight hundred and five or five one oh five one,

130

Speaker 1: and we got you on a breakfast club. The breakfast
