Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. So much happening in the world,
Speaker 1: but America can't focus on any of that stuff because
Speaker 1: once again, America is reeling from mass shootings all the
Speaker 1: way from Buffalo, New York to your valley, Texas. People
Speaker 1: are asking how long can this keep going on? And
Speaker 1: here's the good news. In response, a major bill has
Speaker 1: been announced which would ban the new sales of handguns
Speaker 1: and allow the government to forcefully buy back assault rifles.
Speaker 1: In Canada, Yeah, this is completely real. Canada saw what
Speaker 1: happened here and they're shutting down guns there. Yeah. At
Speaker 1: this point, America is basically a scared straight program that
Speaker 1: gets other countries on the right path. Yeah. It's like
Speaker 1: you have a smell someone so bad you know that
Speaker 1: you decide that you need to take a shower. That's
Speaker 1: what America is with gun laws. Now, to other countries,
Speaker 1: they're like, we need to do something about guns. And
Speaker 1: while most Americans liberals and conserve is open to common
Speaker 1: sense restrictions on guns to keep Americans safe, there is
Speaker 1: still a small yet powerful group of guns who believed
Speaker 1: the problem with gun violence is not because of guns, No,
Speaker 1: it's because of everything else. Part of The problem is
Speaker 1: how this generation that kids exists mostly online. They see
Speaker 1: actual violence as it is portrayed in the movies they watched,
Speaker 1: the music they listen to in the games of video
Speaker 1: games they play. When I played War growing up with
Speaker 1: my friends, the boys were allowed to be boys. I
Speaker 1: said to my friend Andy, Bang, you're dead. But the
Speaker 1: differences we knew it was fake. And Andy got up
Speaker 1: afterwards and we went and jumped in the fire hydrant
Speaker 1: or whoever had a pool. What First of all, why
Speaker 1: do I feel like Andy's fake? And second of all,
Speaker 1: what is this loser talking about? Kids know that games
Speaker 1: are fake? My man, no one is turning off Grant
Speaker 1: after we like shit? I just ran over Andy pedestrians.
Speaker 1: Should I get a lawyer? Oh my god, I'm too
Speaker 1: young for jail. What am I gonna do? The argument
Speaker 1: that American music and video games causes gun violence totally
Speaker 1: falls apart when you realize the entire world listens to
Speaker 1: American music and plays American video games. Yeah, but they
Speaker 1: have nowhere the same level of America's mass shootings. And
Speaker 1: don't getta twisted. It's the same music. It's not like
Speaker 1: in Sweden they're shnoop dogg is like rattat tat tat,
Speaker 1: and I never hesitate to put a hat on a cat.
Speaker 1: It's the same music, while they're not getting the same results.
Speaker 1: And please, please please gun gun fanatics, they don't. They
Speaker 1: don't just want to ban video games and music. No, No,
Speaker 1: it's going to further. They also want to replace those
Speaker 1: things with what they say are some lost values. The
Speaker 1: only solution is Christ, Jesus and being able to get
Speaker 1: some type of spirituality and prayer back into our schools.
Speaker 1: Right now, today, we live in a country where our
Speaker 1: millennials participation rate for churches is under thirty percent in
Speaker 1: a lot of locations. This is the lowest church participation
Speaker 1: we've ever had as a nation. Uh. And so it
Speaker 1: just shows you why you see so much chaos in
Speaker 1: our streets. Yeah, I mean that that could be one solution.
Speaker 1: We need to bring Jesus into our schools. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how Jesus would feel about that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because if I was Jesus, I'll be like, yo, forget that.
Speaker 1: Look at what you guys did to me with nails.
Speaker 1: I'm not coming back when there's guns are fifteen ship.
Speaker 1: I learned my lesson, but again, if you think gun
Speaker 1: violence in America is high because people aren't going to church,
Speaker 1: then why don't they have the same gun violence in Europe?
Speaker 1: Because there nobody goes to church. It's like a thing
Speaker 1: that's done. Now. If you go to church in Germany,
Speaker 1: you'll be the only one that even the preacher will
Speaker 1: be like, oh jeez, you'll scared the ship out of me.
Speaker 1: Nobody comes in here anymore. I even forgot there was
Speaker 1: a doll. Oh oh my god, that was crazy. H
Speaker 1: The point is, gun lovers have been blaming the same
Speaker 1: causes over and over again for decades, although this time,
Speaker 1: to their credits, they've come up with a new thing
Speaker 1: to aim. It's not the guns, it's the books. We
Speaker 1: stop teaching values in so many of our schools now
Speaker 1: we're now we're teaching wokeness, which we're in doctoring our
Speaker 1: child with things like CRT. Yeah, that's right. That's how
Speaker 1: evil critical race theory is. It's only been around for
Speaker 1: like a year and it's already caused three decades of
Speaker 1: school shootings. It's really tough. It goes back in time.
Speaker 1: It's so powerful. Book man. I know you guys want
Speaker 1: to blame anything but guns. But it still has to
Speaker 1: make sense. Can we agree on that? Right? You can't
Speaker 1: just blame stuff that you are already mad at. These
Speaker 1: guys are like, maybe there wouldn't be so many, you know,
Speaker 1: violent shootings in schools if my wife would stop flirting
Speaker 1: with the landscaper. I mean, is it just me that
Speaker 1: making it sound like there used to be a lesson
Speaker 1: that was about the importance of not shooting people, but
Speaker 1: they never got to it because they spent too long
Speaker 1: on teaching slavery. This doesn't make any sense. And if
Speaker 1: it's not religion, and if it's not video games, and
Speaker 1: it's not the music, what else could it be. Well,
Speaker 1: according to some gun lovers, maybe it was the school's faults.
Speaker 1: One of the things that that everyone agreed is don't
Speaker 1: have all of these unlocked back doors. Have one door
Speaker 1: into and out of the school. I would like to
Speaker 1: see this a national push towards instead of parents buying
Speaker 1: their kids all these tools and toys and games, invest
Speaker 1: in the classroom to make it safer. They have blankets
Speaker 1: that you can put up on the wall that are
Speaker 1: colorful and beautiful, but there ballistic blankets. We need to
Speaker 1: install man traps, a series of interlocking doors at the
Speaker 1: school entrance that are triggered by a trip wire. Trip
Speaker 1: wire can be a gunshot, broken glass, or manual switch
Speaker 1: choice by a school employee, and it traps the shooter
Speaker 1: like a rat. Are these people hearing themselves? You think
Speaker 1: kids contel fantasy from reality? But your suggestions like how
Speaker 1: about we make a school with steal doors that slam
Speaker 1: and windows that turn into on creat or even better,
Speaker 1: the whole school becomes a transformer. Yeah, so that way,
Speaker 1: when the school shooter comes, the whole school can run
Speaker 1: away from man Not to mention, have you guys ever
Speaker 1: been in a school? Huh? Eunize the fire alarm gets
Speaker 1: pulled as a prank like once a week? You think
Speaker 1: the jocks are gonna be constantly tossing nerds into the
Speaker 1: man trap? Do you listen to yourselves? And even if
Speaker 1: those ideas don't work. Even if they don't, there's one
Speaker 1: solution that conservatives love to come back to time and
Speaker 1: time again, and over the weekend, it was proposed yet
Speaker 1: again by none other than Donald jo Head Trump. What
Speaker 1: we need now is a top to bottom security overhaul
Speaker 1: at schools all across our country, and above all, from
Speaker 1: this day forward. Every school in America should have a
Speaker 1: police officer or an armed resource officer or duty at
Speaker 1: all times. Yeah, yeah, you know, you always hear people
Speaker 1: saying this after a school shooting. What we need is
Speaker 1: armed police officers in the school. What's amazing about the
Speaker 1: debate this time is that they're still saying it's even
Speaker 1: though in the shooting that just happened, there was an
Speaker 1: armed police officer and it didn't help. Classic Trump proposing
Speaker 1: a solution after it already failed. I mean, he would
Speaker 1: have been a lot of fun in the lifeboats after
Speaker 1: the Titanic. Next time, we should just ram that iceberg
Speaker 1: really hard. What's the worst that could happen? What do
Speaker 1: you think, Jack, what do you think? And as we've
Speaker 1: all heard by now, there wasn't just an armed resource
Speaker 1: officer on the scene. There was a whole platoon of
Speaker 1: police officers who responded to the shooting but didn't do
Speaker 1: ship to stop it while it was still going on.
Speaker 1: And I'm willing to guess it's because they also should
Speaker 1: scared of a gunman armed with an a R fifteen.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's what we are to ask ourselves
Speaker 1: as a society. Do we want to live in a
Speaker 1: world where anyone can legally buy weapons that the police
Speaker 1: are scared of. Huh and just by the way, just
Speaker 1: by the way. For me, it's been amazing to see
Speaker 1: how some people love guns so much that they've gone
Speaker 1: from Blue Lives Matter to screw these bitch ass cops
Speaker 1: if they're not here to get shocked, And what's the
Speaker 1: point of having them around the police? Oh, now you
Speaker 1: don't care about the cops lives? Like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me. I would rather say, get rid
Speaker 1: of the air fifteen's and make these officers jobs a
Speaker 1: lot more safe. Maybe it's just me. It's long how
Speaker 1: people flip, You just flip whenever you feel like it's
Speaker 1: so so crazy. How the cops they can't do anything right.
Speaker 1: They shoot people because they think they have a gun,
Speaker 1: and then now they're like they know it's a gun.
Speaker 1: They're like, well, we can't shoot them if it's a wallet. Maybe,
Speaker 1: But I mean, so, look, I know that America is
Speaker 1: never going to do what Canada's doing. I don't even
Speaker 1: expect that. Right. There's a gun culture in this country
Speaker 1: that is far too ingrained to ever truly get rid
Speaker 1: of it. And I also know that we're not going
Speaker 1: to stop gun violence altogether. I'm not naive, but I
Speaker 1: would hope. I would just hope that after a tragedy
Speaker 1: like this, Americans could agree that losing some of these
Speaker 1: is worth it to prevent losing more of these. The
