1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Buggle up and hold on tipt is subject my Valentine's

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Day present. Dear Steve and friends. My husband and I

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: have been together for four years and married for one year. Now.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: We're raising three young children, with one on the way.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: I am taking part time classes at a local college

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: and work part time. My husband works full time. I

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: think we know each other very well. In fact, any

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: time I need something, he's all right on top. He's

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: always right on time with it, and I to him.

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: He has a devoted father and a hard worker. His

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: passion is with firearms and his new government security job.

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: He has his own collection of firearms and military armory.

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: All I can say is that if he were ever

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: called into duty on our home front, he would be

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: more than suited. But I think he had a relapse

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: in his memory bank. Valentine's Day is supposed to being

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be romance and love, but instead from

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: me this year, I got cold steel. He is usually

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: more thoughtful and organized. He asked me what I wanted

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: this year, and I said some perfume, maybe dinner or

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: a movie, just something special and for just us two.

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: He took that insight and brought me a handgun. Hello,

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: this is not what I asked for. Granted, I love

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: going out with him fishing and shooting at the range,

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: but Valentine's Day is for romantic gestures and gifts of love. Well,

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: I think he means well, But good god, I think

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: we have enough firearms in the home now. We are

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: very careful and responsible with the arms that we have

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: in the home now. But outside of the home, you

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: never know what you will encounter. He always said that

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: he was going to buy me one for my own

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: personal protection for times that we are not together, but

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would come on Valentine's Day. I'm

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: not a picky person or even ungrateful, but come on, Jesus,

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: he should have had a clue. I want to tell

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: him that I love the gift, but the timing was

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: way off. How can I tell him without hurting his feelings?

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Your friend, Well, dear friends, this is a first. Um.

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: You're right, A handgun is not your typical It is

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: not your typical Valentine's gift. You've got a good man.

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: You said, he's a good provider, devoted dad, dependable. He

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: just doesn't listen. Apparently, how we got handgun out of perfume,

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: dinner and movie. I don't know. I just think he

44
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: was trying to be different, you know, give you something

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: to talk about. Valentine's is the day for lovers in romance,

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: and since this is his passion, um, you know, he

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: just wanted you to share it with him in this way.

48
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: You yourself said, he's usually thoughtful and very organized, so

49
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: it's his passion. He wanted, you know, you guys to

50
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: be together on this thing. I couldn't end my response though,

51
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: without voicing my concern about handguns in the house. Okay,

52
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: we hear time and time again about accidents happening in

53
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: the house. Even though you guys say you're very responsible

54
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: with the guns you have in the home, you never

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: know acts that's happened, especially with young children. It is

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: your home. To enough is enough? Even one handgun can

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: cause some problems, and I just ask you to think

58
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: about that, Steve. I don't have adequate enough time to

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: really tell us down and explain to you what's happening

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: in your relationship. This ain't Gary. Wow. Let me just

61
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: start before we go to break. Okay, your husband and

62
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: I have been together for four years and been married

63
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: for one. We are raising three young children with one

64
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: on the wait. I am thinking that a lot of

65
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: love making has been going on at gunpoint. No man

66
00:03:52,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: now unless Jesus kids, y'all head be four years married,

67
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: four years together, one year married, three kids already one on.

68
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: Somebody got to lay down when they don't feel like

69
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: said lay down. I said lay down. A lot of

70
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: babies in a four year span. People really don't do that.

71
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: No more like sister Clemens at a church, Mr Clemmons,

72
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: what about it was? Was pregnant every year, every single year.

73
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: Guns at her house too, No what, none of that.

74
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: But let's just say when she was in the basement

75
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: at the Big Sail and had her April, it was

76
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: a sight. Got to do with this? I don't know.

77
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: I just got thinking about Sister clementson and Lord that

78
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: merch all the babies took a toll on. He was

79
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: bad Valentine's Day presidents and subjected steven friends. My husband

80
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: and I've been together four years and married for one year.

81
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: Now we're raising three young children with one on the way.

82
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm taking part I've already told you how I feel

83
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: about that. I'm taking part time classes at a local college,

84
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: and I work part time, my husband works full time.

85
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: I think we know each other very well. In fact,

86
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: any time I need something, he is always right on

87
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: time with it, and I told him. He is a

88
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: devoted father and a hard worker. His passion is his

89
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: firearms and his new government security job. He has his

90
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: own collection of firems and military armor. All I can

91
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: say is that we ever called into duty on our

92
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: home front, he would be more than suited. But I

93
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: think he had a relapse in his memory. Bank Valentine's Day,

94
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be romance and love, but it stard

95
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: for me. This year, I got cold steel. He is

96
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: usually more thoughtful and organized. He asked me what I

97
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: wanted this year and I said some perfume, maybe the move.

98
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 1: It just something special and just us too. He took

99
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: that insight and bought me a handgun. Hello, this is

100
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: not what I have for Not granted, I love going

101
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: out with him fishing and shooting at the range. But

102
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day is for romantic justice and gifts of love. Well,

103
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 1: I think he means well, But good god, I think

104
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: he I think we have enough firearms in the home now.

105
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: We're very careful and responsible with the arms. That we

106
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: have in the home now, but outside of the home,

107
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: you never know what you will encounter. He always said

108
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: that he was going to buy me one for my

109
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: own personal protection for times when we are not together,

110
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: but I didn't think it would come on Valentine's Day.

111
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm not a picky person or even ungrateful, but come on, Jesus,

112
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: he should have had a clue. I want to tell

113
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: him that I love a gift, but the time it

114
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: was a way off. How can I tell him this

115
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: without hurting his feelings? Your friend, don't tell him. You

116
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: have got to look into this letter. Like I said,

117
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: the years and the mount of kids. I'm assuming maybe

118
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: y'all had these kids before. If not, I can only

119
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: assume that a lot of love making that, as I said,

120
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: has been under gun point. He's gonna lay down. You're

121
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: gonna lay down now, but scary at the same time. Right,

122
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: and then you work part time, go to school part time,

123
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: your husband work full time his he's a devoted father.

124
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: But here's where the letter just takes its own life.

125
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: His passion is with firearms and his new government security.

126
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Y'all right there, Your man love his pistols and his

127
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: new government security, y'all, which enables him to carry a

128
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: gun obviously when authorization from the government. Come on, we

129
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: can stop reading right now because you have said that

130
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: your man's passion. It's his firearms and his new government job,

131
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: not you, not two kids. He's a devoted father and

132
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: a provider. But like I told you about men and women,

133
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: I can prove it to you all along. There are

134
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: the three piece of manhood that show us that we determine.

135
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: Our Number one is out professing. If we say we

136
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: love you, if we're willing to tell people we love you,

137
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: introduce you as our woman, our wife, our girl, whatever.

138
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: That's the first sign your man. Look. The second sign

139
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: is he is a provider. The third pea of manhood

140
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: is he is there to protect you, your honor, your family,

141
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: the kids, everything. M Well, he's doing that. That's what

142
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: he's built to do, except he's taking it to the extreme.

143
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: Now for Valentine's he's crazy. Asked him when out and

144
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: brought you a handgun? Your man? Stupid? That's just your man, stupid.

Speaker 1: You tell you man, you want some perfume? Maybe then

147
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: on moving just something special for just us to he

150
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: it through, and I would rather give you a damn pistol.
