1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: So Michael Verie Show is on the air. Do you

3
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: know what's not funny? Shipley Donuts being sold to a

4
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: private equity firm. That's not funny. They better not change

5
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: a single thing because Shipley Donuts is perfect. I don't

6
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 2: get to eat them because they tear my tummy up.

7
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: But once in a blue moon, like etc. Said, I'll

8
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: do something right, I eat me one of them Shiftley donuts. Oh,

9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: it really is a phenomenal donut. And the amazing thing

10
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: is we just happened to live in Houston. I didn't

11
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 2: come to Houston because of Shipley Donuts. They just happened

12
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: to be here. It's like I didn't choose to be

13
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: in the world's great medical facility. It just happened to

14
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: end up here. Now, it turned out to be real

15
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: useful for my mom and my dad that they could

16
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: come to where I live to get treatment instead of

17
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: us all having to fly to Rochester or Minneapolis. To

18
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: the phone lines, we go Teresa or Teresa Teresa, good morning, Michael. Well,

19
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: for some reason, Teresa Ramone spelled at T E R

20
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: E S S A the second a, suggesting that the

21
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: long E became an the Santa Fe schools. I guess

22
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: just they just didn't teach how the sounds or to

23
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: work out, you know, the whole English language. It's horrible.

24
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: I understand. What do you have? Love? You have a

25
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,400

Speaker 4: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

30
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: Oh that's lovely. Even you're counting. You could read the

31
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: phone book and it'll be But how old are you?

32
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: Teresa sixty eight? You have the best voice. I'm serious.

33
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: You have a voice for radio.

34
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: Well, I'm a former singer for a band, so maybe

35
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: that's where it comes from.

36
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: That's it. And you've got a little bit of a

37
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: Kim Karnes to you. I like it, just a little

38
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: bit raspy. It's it's uh. I'll stop there before I

39
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: say something in prov but i'll it's it's wonderful. Well,

40
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: thank you, Michael. What'd you call with us?

41
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: So?

42
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: I am a five year cancer survivor. I had breast

43
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: cancer diagnosed in twenty twenty in the middle of the

44
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: COVID epidemic. Not Able to get surgery for months after

45
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 4: by being diagnosed because all of the surgical centers were closed.

46
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: So made it through it five years. And I go

47
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: around and laugh about the fact that I have one

48
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: and a half boobs now, and no, I don't walk

49
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: around in circles. But and I looked at having a

50
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: reduction and decided, why did I want that much pain

51
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: to meet? The different sizes is my badge of honor

52
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: for having survived breast cancer. And I also now have

53
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: wavy hair from the medications I took for five years.

54
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: I always had stick straight hair, wanted wavy hair, and

55
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: now I hate it. So be careful what you wish for,

56
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: because God.

57
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: Might give it to you. So do you straighten it now.

58
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: Occasionally?

59
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 2: So Theresa, my mother had I've spent more time studying

60
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: breast cancer than probably most guys, just because we had

61
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: so much of it in my family. And my mom

62
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: got a relatively early diagnosis that she had it, and

63
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 2: so she chose to have rather than just the lump removed,

64
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: she chose to have the boob removed because three of

65
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: her four aunts had all had breast cancer. Two of

66
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: them died from it. And so you know, we're talking

67
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: about it every day and what she should do, and

68
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: so she had her boob removed. And my brother. If

69
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: anybody's ever been around a cop, a nurse, a mortician,

70
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: there are certain people for whom dark humor is their

71
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: cooping technique because they can't afford to be emotional like

72
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: the rest of us. They have to the other ones

73
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: have to get in there when the blood spells right.

74
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: They're the ones that have to when the rest of us,

75
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: you know, quincy uh, you know, turn and pass out.

76
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: They have to. And so I would come in to visit,

77
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: my brother would would be there, and my mom would

78
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: be wearing these caftans that my wife had brought to

79
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: her from India. They're just real comfortable. It's like a

80
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: big mumu. And my brother would scream out, Mom, go

81
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: put your boob on, because she had a prosthetic boob.

82
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: And she'd say, Christopher Wayne, I am not putting my

83
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: boob on. Do you need to see me with a boob?

84
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: I have one boob? Would you like to see the

85
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: other one? And that was my mother's sense of humor.

86
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: And and he'd say he'd put his hands up over

87
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: his face, like you know, he'd been caught on the

88
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: Coldplay kiss cam and he say no, please, no, and

89
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: we would play out this whole thing and nobody would

90
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: ever admit they were joking, but it was kind of

91
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: a Laurel and Hearty routine. Everybody knew their role. And

92
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: she'd said, I'm gonna pull it up. I'm gonna show

93
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: you the boob I got here. Just check it out.

94
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: See if I have a lump, and he would cover

95
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: his face. No, please no, make it it's awful, please no.

96
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: And that was kind of our way of dealing with

97
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: the fact that, you know, we never knew if she

98
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: was going to get cancer in her other We laughed, right,

99
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: and I realized that a lot of people just never

100
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: learn to do that, and that's unfortunate because laughter is

101
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: like you know, when you when you put the rice

102
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: on the on the kettle and the steam comes off,

103
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: and that tells you the pressure has reached too much.

104
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: If you don't have that, you explode, and it's most unfortunate.

105
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: It's most unfortunate.

106
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 6: Teresa here, Mary, I I am oh no, I am

107
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 6: a hospice nurse, so I'm very oh familiar with the

108
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 6: dark humor.

109
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: Said every day around here because we have to and

110
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: you're right. And before I had surgery, I was talking

111
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: to the late Matt Patrick one day about Oh, they

112
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: were having a day in Austin. Basically it was a

113
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 4: breast free day. They wanted you to take off your

114
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: shirt and run around the state House and I told

115
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: them I couldn't do that because I'd end up with

116
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: two black eyes. And so, you know, we have to

117
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: laugh at life because if we don't, we spend all

118
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: our time crying.

119
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the it's the classic. I don't know whether

120
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: to laugh or cry, you know, Teresa, I'm going to

121
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: tell you something we are taught at Cops and veterans

122
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: and teachers are heroes and they're so important and all

123
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: that is very true. It is incredibly true and poignant

124
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 2: and important. But I have to tell you, hospice nurses,

125
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: not just nurses. Nurses are special, but hospital to get

126
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: up every day and know that you might have to

127
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: bury one of the people you're caring for, and then

128
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: to take on and do it. If God bless you,

129
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: you are one of God's specials at special angels. To

130
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: lose a great call, fantastical lift life doing it big

131
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: on The Michael Barry Show, Arthur Seberger, longtime listener, will

132
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: often send me clever lines, funny jokes, witty commentarian. He's

133
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 2: had multiple prostate cancer surgeries and he wrote my first

134
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: prostate surgery. I was lying on the table, legs up,

135
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: and those stirrup things downstairs was pretty open. It was

136
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: colder than Hillary's handshake the bill on their wedding night.

137
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: So you know what happens to the old hanger down her.

138
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 2: Then for very young, very attractive, you can even tell

139
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: with masks, come in freaking. I said, y'all have seen

140
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: the Seinfeld show about shrinkage. Right, I'm a white guy

141
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: and it's freezing in here. They were all howling. Don't worry,

142
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: mister Seburger. We'll be seated at your head. Oh that's good.

143
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: That's that's uh, that's very good. Before we get back

144
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: to the calls, Joan Rivers is not for everybody. She's uh.

145
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: She was a She had a ribald sense of humor.

146
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: But a man starts getting offended because she made a

147
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: joke and she let him have it. Give this a listen.

148
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: I hate.

149
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 4: The only child I think I would have liked.

150
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: Everyone was helling kell, but she didn't talk.

151
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: It is.

152
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 7: Yes it is, and if you don't, then leave. I

153
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 7: happen to have a deaf mother. Oh, you stupid ass.

154
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 7: Let me tell you what comedy is about me? Oh please,

155
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 7: you are so stupid. Comedy is to make everybody laugh

156
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,080

00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 5: me in a hole. I lived for nine years with

160
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 5: a man with one leg.

161
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 7: Okay, you ask how we're gonna talk about what it's

162
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 7: like to have a man with one leg who lost

Speaker 7: because that's lilittery. So don't you tell me what's tonny.

165
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: Comedy is to make us lay nine eleven.

166
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 7: If we didn't laugh, where the hell would we all be?

167
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: Think about that?

168
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 5: Where the hell would we be? How do you not

169
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,439

00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: Find a club. I follow the tool.

173
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: A comedy to someone that's not a person you want

174
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 2: to be around. When people say to me, oh, oh

175
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: I like funny stuff, I like funny, I have yes,

176
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: I love I love funny stuff, but that's not funny

177
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 2: when you are offended because you don't find a joke

178
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: to be funny. I'll guarantee you I can tell you

179
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: ten things about your life. You're a miserable human being

180
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: who makes everyone around you miserable if you're the person

181
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: who constantly says of humor, well, I like I like comedy,

182
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: I like good joke, like good joke much as the

183
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: next person I do. I can tell, I can really tell,

184
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: but that's not funny, that's not funny, that's hurtful. You know,

185
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: you can't fix some people. You can't. You can't give

186
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: them a better perspective. And it's tragic. But I've come

187
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: to learn this. There are certain people who aren't happy.

188
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: Unless they're unhappy, they don't want to laugh. Woman sent

189
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: me an email a few minutes ago. She and her

190
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: husband buried their child, which nobody should have to do,

191
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: and then everything was done, and there they were left

192
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: with no child in their home. What to do? So

193
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: they went to Blockbuster, which was always remonta stream to

194
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: work at Blockbuster, they went to a True Story. They

195
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: went to Blockbuster and rented a bunch of comedy movies.

196
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: And she said, we just.

197
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 8: Sat there for hour after hour after hour and laughed

198
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 8: and laughed and laughed, and ever so often, in the

199
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 8: middle of the laughter, there'd be a tear come down

200
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 8: because we knew we were stifling the sadness, but it

201
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 8: felt so much better to laugh.

202
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,520

214
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 9: an athom's wound care pouch. The survivor of two liver

215
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 9: transplants and a kidney transplant. I developed what you call

216
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 9: a wallbal systela after my second liver transplant and kidney transplant,

217
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 9: and I'm telling you this thing, actually it controls my life.

218
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 9: They just can't seem to find it's the fistola is

219
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 9: right under the rib cage on the right side and

220
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 9: right in the center of the scars for the for

221
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 9: the transplant. Okay, I have to fill this whole thing

222
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 9: in with taste, and if I move wrong, the paste

223
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 9: pulls away from the skin and it starts getting on me.

224
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 9: I have to stop what I'm doing and change this thing,

225
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 9: and it can take It's taken me up to eleven

226
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 9: and a half hours.

227
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: Oh man, let me tell Ramon what official is, Ramona.

228
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: This is what it says. A ficula is an abnormal

229
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: connection or passageway between two organs or body cavities, or

230
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: between an organ and the skin. Fistulus can develop due

231
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,119
Speaker 2: to various reasons, including surgery, injury, infection, or inflammatory conditions.

232
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: They can occur in various parts of the bodies, such

233
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: as the anus, bladder or gastro intestinal tract. And your

234
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: fistula is where.

235
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 9: It's right in the right under the rib cage on

236
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 9: the right side and in the center of the scars

237
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 9: from the transplants.

238
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: You've had two liver transplants in one kidney or vice versa.

239
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, two liver and one kidney, yes, sir, And.

240
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: What was wrong? What caused your your liver to fail.

241
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 9: Well, the first one I did to myself.

242
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: The czar he's on, well done. So this is the

243
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: Michael Berry Show and it's so risty up. The basis

244
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: of the conversation today was that Dion Sanders announced yesterday

245
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: that he has bladder cancer. They've kept that amazingly quiet,

246
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: considering every time he goes for treatment. Somebody's going to

247
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: see Dion Sanders at the cancer hospital, all the different

248
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: people that he would have consulted. Do you know why

249
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: stories like that get out? Because Dion calls a buddy

250
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: Warren sav I was going to make up a name, EMMITTT. Smith,

251
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: somebody that he's known from back in the day. He says, hey,

252
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: you anybody's gone through this, that's what I'm thinking. And

253
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: then that person tells a p because people can't keep secrets.

254
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: And then that person calls their buddy that's in the

255
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: medians and to say I got a scoop for you,

256
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 2: because then they look good for being the one to

257
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: give a scoop. And then Dion's control of his personal

258
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: private story is no longer in his control anymore. They're

259
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: calling and asking for comments and speculating about it when

260
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: he didn't want it out there, and reporters feel that

261
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: it is their prerogative to get to do that. I

262
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: hope that happens to them. I always found it fascinating

263
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 2: that after nine to eleven, they had the phenomenon known

264
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: as jumpers. People would jump from the buildings that were

265
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: on fire to their deaths, and the New York media

266
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: decided that they would no longer cover those jumps because

267
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: they knew too many people involved. So, in other words,

268
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: when it happens in Beaumont, put it on TV. It

269
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: serves for our enjoyment. Get some popcorn and we'll watch.

270
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: But when it's our own family members and friends who

271
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: are jumping to their deaths, let's not put that on

272
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: TV because they're actual humans. Because if we know them,

273
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: they're actual humans. But if they live somewhere else, they're

274
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: here for our amusement. Ed you're on the Michael Berry Show.

275
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 10: Go ahead, sir, Hey Michael, Yeah, last year was at

276
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 10: the VA hospital. I've got the I got the cold cancer.

277
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 10: But every time I tell somebody about you know, I

278
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 10: got cold cancer, oh man, I'm like, don't be sad.

279
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 10: So now I call it the booty cancer. And so

280
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 10: when I tell them that it's they they're not upset.

281
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 2: When they hear that.

282
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 10: So one of my friends, her son's going to m

283
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 10: I T and they're up and Salem and they're checking

284
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 10: out all those Salem witches and all that stuff. And

285
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 10: she bought me a plague doctor from my booty cancer.

286
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: And I like how you deal with tough news. I like.

287
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: I like your approach. You know, I've known people in

288
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: my life who you call and check on them. How

289
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: you doing?

290
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: Well?

291
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: What's wrong? Well? You know our dog died, Oh okay,

292
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: all right, when it was back in January. So I

293
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: haven't talked to you in two years. And I called

294
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: and year down because your dog dad six months ago.

295
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: Really you call that same person a year later? Hey,

296
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: how you doing.

297
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 4: All right?

298
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 2: I just tired, I've been long. What's wrong? Well, our

299
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 2: next door neighbors, veterinarians, technicians, brothers, cousin. Their house got flooded,

300
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: and so we're trying to help them find some clothes

301
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: and things. Okay, flood was in September, it's December.

302
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 3: I know.

303
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: It's just I think what I'm hearing from you is

304
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: there always needs to be one thing that you hyper

305
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: focus on that is really sad and traumatic, and you're

306
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: always kind of in a state of listlessness and exhaustion

307
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: over that. I got news for you. Your problem isn't a

308
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: flood or a dog. Your problem is you're in an

309
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 2: endless loop of mild depression. That's what this is. People

310
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: like that don't want funny, they don't want laughter, they

311
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: don't want happiness. What makes the left so sad is

312
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: they want to destroy your happiness. They want to destroy

313
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: the excellence of America. They want to destroy the pride

314
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: in America. They want to destroy the honor and integrity,

315
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: the glory that we get of being the greatest nation

316
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: on earth. They want that to e and other people's

317
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: happiness makes them miserable. And you will find that we

318
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: have some folks on our side as well, and you

319
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: come to the conclusion you just can't fix them, David,

320
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: You're only Michael Berry Show.

321
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 11: Oh yes, I was a years ago. It was recovering.

322
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 11: I didn't realize in the recovery room for a fusion

323
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 11: back surgery, and I wake up and I just see,

324
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 11: you know, the upper lights, so it looks like, you know,

325
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 11: the bright light. So I thought in my head you're

326
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 11: in the tunnel.

327
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: I'll change.

328
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 11: I'll change, Yeah, I'll change the word starts with the S,

329
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 11: I'll change to the sea. I said, oh crap, I

330
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 11: didn't make it. And all of a sudden, I hear

331
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 11: this laughter and I'm going, oh lord, it's not really

332
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 11: warm in here.

333
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: So I'm thinking you I went down now going up?

334
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 11: Well, I see this the face mask from the surgery team,

335
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 11: the recovery team, and they use that to you know,

336
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 11: questioned me to see my recovery and stuff. And they said, man,

337
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 11: we didn't even have to make anything up. You gave

338
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 11: us the line right away. So it was they did

339
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 11: good with that. But I mean, you just you don't know.

340
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 11: And with the fusion, they got you completely tied down,

341
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 11: so you know, you can't move, so you just kind

342
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 11: of like, oh and you see the.

343
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: Light and oh lord. So yeah, I said a different words,

344
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: you can't doe radio.

345
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 11: No, Well, I guess you be a hell of a trick.

346
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: And me calling you on the phone right now, I

347
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: don't know, it had a different sound to it. You know,

348
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 2: I thought maybe JB. You're on the Michael Berry Show.

349
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 2: Go ahead, sir.

350
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: You know, mister Michael, I've got a story that I

351
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: think you can turn bad situations into funny unless it's

352
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: just really, really, really bad. So I've had issues with

353
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 3: my left hip for many years. I'm sixty nine. I

354
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: worked oil and gas forty years. Was up in East Texas,

355
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 3: and when we moved here ten years ago after I retired,

356
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 3: what a culture shock to come down and live in

357
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: the Houston area because for years I'm on the road

358
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 3: up in the country and Tyler, you know, it's not tiny,

359
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: but it's nothing like.

360
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: Living down here.

361
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: And so Russe Lindbaugh taught me a lot about illustrating

362
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: absurdity by being absurd, and I always cherished him for

363
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: that gift. So, for example, I got on Facebook about

364
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: five six years ago. I always said I wouldn't do it,

365
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: and then I found the footprint that I like with it,

366
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 3: and I kid around a lot. But for example, I

367
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: saw a post and it was like a like a

368
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: five hundred pound woman and she's holding up a sign

369
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: and it says I will day gun hunters. And I

370
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: laughed and laughed, and all the guy friends I sent

371
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: it to just thought that was hilarious. Well then I

372
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: reposted it and you couldn't believe some of the people

373
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: that just would flashed me told me how insensitive that

374
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 3: was the post.

375
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 5: So well, well, lucky you, The Michael Ferry Show continues.

376
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: You're lucky day both lassus in a district. When we

377
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 2: told you the story of Chase calicut who was committed

378
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: to North Shore, I'm sorry, north Shore player committed to Georgia,

379
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 2: which means he's pretty good football player. If you get

380
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: an offer from Georgia to play ball after high school,

381
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: you're one of the best players in the country. You

382
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 2: were in your own league. You're really good. Now, that

383
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 2: doesn't mean necessarily you're going to play pro ball. The

384
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: odds are still against you. But for an eighteen year

385
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: old kid, no matter how tough the circumstances are are

386
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: at home, you got a real shot here. Don't mess

387
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 2: this up. But as we know, that wasn't enough to

388
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: keep him out of trouble. He made some threats on

389
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: some classmates at his school and then as he drove

390
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 2: his buddy, Isaiah Phillip, unloaded his gun on those classmates

391
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: as Chase Callicutt drove up on them, and then his

392
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: buddy Isaiah Phillip, two weeks later, was shot and killed

393
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: at a pool party at seventeen years old. So it

394
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: turns out Chase Callicut isn't the only kid at north

395
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: Shore High School to have problems. Three players from that

396
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: team have been shot and killed over the last eighteen months.

397
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: You got a real problem here. You've got a civil

398
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: war occurring. You've got young black men growing up shooting

399
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 2: and killing each other over nothing, good grief over nothing.

400
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: To their credit, the north Shore community held a meeting

401
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: last night to address the ongoing violence and parents were

402
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: urged to start being parents. KPRC TV with the.

403
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: Story it was a night of straight talk in East

404
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: Terris County as dozens came together in the way of

405
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: deadly youth gun violence that recently has made headlines involving

406
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: north Shore High.

407
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: School today and he's just seeing therefore going.

408
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: Today many of the room connected to the Powerhouse football

409
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: program at north Shore, as well as to three of

410
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: the players that have been lost to gun violence in

411
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: the last sixteen months. Reginald Gordon, better known as OG one,

412
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: says the focus shouldn't simply be on those who have

413
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: made headlines.

414
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: We losed fourtun many in the streets that nobody even

415
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: speaks about.

416
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: The teens we spoke with say that in light of

417
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: the violence they have seen recently, they've been changing their

418
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: ways and the.

419
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 9: Time right now is really just keep your hand on

420
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 9: your shoulders and look behind you at all times. That's

421
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 9: really what it is.

422
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: Now, and I hate that it's like that.

423
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 8: We as as individually, we always talk about Iiji's not

424
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 8: going to parties no more because that's how our friend died.

425
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: However, changing the community for the better is not an

426
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: overnight fix, according to parents. That loud voice you hear

427
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: belongs to Drea Wedge, the mother of a former North

428
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: Shore player. Her message, as well as the message of

429
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: others like og One, is that parents need to start

430
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: being parents.

431
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 3: If we don't hold our kids accountable, they're going to

432
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 3: continue doing everything they want to do.

433
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: Andrea's message wasn't just about holding kids accountable, it also

434
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: was about holding parents accountable. And what she said to

435
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: everyone inside the room and garner an applause, was that listen,

436
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: if you're a parent and you have someone coming to you,

437
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: another parent saying hey, I have concerns or I have

438
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: some issues with regards to your child, you shouldn't immediately

439
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: defend your child. You should actually look at yourself and say,

440
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: is my child a problem? And how do I get

441
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: them the help that they need in order to not

442
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: find themselves the victims of potential violence.

443
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: You know, every day you see criticisms by people who

444
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: hate white people, whether it's on CNN, MSNBC, in the classroom,

445
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: politicians criticizing what is known as white culture or white privilege.

446
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: White privilege is no longer relegated to wealth, the aristocracy,

447
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: the blue bloods. It is considered white privilege. If nobody

448
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: has shot into the window of your home, it is

449
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: considered white privilege. If nobody in your family is imprisoned.

450
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: The cultural rot that has occurred in some, not all,

451
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: but some black households and black neighborhoods in this country

452
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: is shameful. It's embarrassing, it's sad, but it's not surprising. Two,

453
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: many people in this country have learned, just as Palestinians

454
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: have learned to blame Jews for their problems, just as

455
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: the sixteen majority Muslim nations in the world blame the

456
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: Jews for their problems. No, this ain't whitey's problem. This

457
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: is cultural rot. And here's where it starts. At some point,

458
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to break the cycle. But let's somewhere tonight.

459
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: A black man will sleep with a white sorry, a

460
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: black man will sleep with a black woman, I say

461
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: sleep with. There won't be any sleeping involved. There will

462
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: be a sex act. It will be unprotected. Now, it's

463
00:30:53,760 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: not that there aren't unwanted pregnancies among white folks, but

464
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: the percentage is far higher for blacks. There is a

465
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: recklessness with regard to that. But to be clear, it's

466
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: not just I don't care if she gets pregnant. It

467
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: is him and her wanting to get pregnant. She gonna

468
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: have a baby for him. That's how that goes. It's

469
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: an honor for him that she'll get pregnant carry his

470
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: baby to term, and he's not in any way involved,

471
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: nor is he expected to be. Well. Now you've created

472
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: a situation. We've seen the statistics. The problem isn't raised

473
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 2: in this country. It's fatherless homes. Turns out fatherless homes

474
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: with only a mother. In white and Hispanic communities, there's

475
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: a huge drop in the likelihood they'll graduate from college.

476
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: There's a huge increase in the likelihood they'll end up

477
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: in prison. All of those problems are exacerbated by one person,

478
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: a mother trying to raise a child and support a child.

479
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: It all starts right there at the fatherless home, and

480
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: then it continues with what's that father doing by day?

481
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: Is he working or is he gangbanging? Is he involved

482
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: in criminal activities? And you're just creating this cycle over

483
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: and over and over again, and no one wants to

484
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: stop it, No one wants to fix it, No one

485
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: wants to call it by its name. This is cultural right.

486
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: This isn't racism or slavery or jim Crow. This is

487
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: none of those sorts of things. This is behaviors that

488
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: are worse today than they were in the sixties. Many

489
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: black folk live better in the sixties than they do today.

490
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: There was pride, There was a desire to improve oneself.

491
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: There was a desire to contribute, to raise kids who

492
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: live better than you do. Not to day,
