Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Once again, America is reeling
Speaker 1: from mass shootings all the way from Buffalo, New York
Speaker 1: to your valley, Texas. People are asking how long can
Speaker 1: this keep going on? And here's the good news. In response,
Speaker 1: a major bill has been announced which would ban the
Speaker 1: new sales of handguns and allow the government to forcefully
Speaker 1: buy back assault rifles. In Canada, Yeah, this is completely real.
Speaker 1: Canada saw what happened here and they're shutting down guns there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: At this point, America is basically a scared straight program
Speaker 1: that gets other countries on the right path. Yeah. It's
Speaker 1: like you have a smell someone so bad you know
Speaker 1: that you decide that you need to take a shower.
Speaker 1: That's 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 conservatives are open to common
Speaker 1: sense restrictions on guns to keep Americans safe, there is
Speaker 1: still a small yet powerful group of gun fights who
Speaker 1: believed 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's 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, my
Speaker 1: friends the boys were allowed to be boys. I said
Speaker 1: to my friend Andy, Bang, you're dead. But the differences
Speaker 1: we knew it was fake. And Andy got up afterwards
Speaker 1: and we went and jumped in the fire hydrant or
Speaker 1: whoever had a pool. What? Trust of all, why do
Speaker 1: I feel like Andy's fake? And second of all, what
Speaker 1: does this loser talking about kids know that games are fake?
Speaker 1: My man? No one is turning off Grant thefter like shit,
Speaker 1: I just ran over eighty pedestrians. Should I get a lawyer?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm too young for jail. What am
Speaker 1: I gonna do? The argument that American music and video
Speaker 1: games causes gun violence totally falls apart when you realize
Speaker 1: the entire world listens to American music and plays American
Speaker 1: video games. Yeah, but they have nowhere the same level
Speaker 1: of America's mass shootings. And don't get a twisted it's
Speaker 1: the same music. It's not like in Sweden they're Snoop
Speaker 1: Dogg is like rattat tat tat, and I never hesitate
Speaker 1: to put a hat on a cat. It's the same
Speaker 1: music while they're not getting the same results. And please,
Speaker 1: please please, gun gun fanatics, they don't. They don't just
Speaker 1: want to ban video games and music. No, 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
Speaker 1: Europe because there nobody goes to church. It's like a
Speaker 1: thing 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, 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. Uh.
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 blame. 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. Man. I know you guys want to
Speaker 1: blame anything but guns, but it still has to make sense.
Speaker 1: Can we agree on that? Right? You can't just blame
Speaker 1: stuff that you are already mad at these guys are like,
Speaker 1: maybe there wouldn't be so many, you know, violent shootings
Speaker 1: in schools if my wife would stop flirting with the landscaper.
Speaker 1: I mean, is it just me there making it sound
Speaker 1: like there used to be a lesson that was about
Speaker 1: the importance of not shooting people, but they never got
Speaker 1: to it because they spent too long in teaching slavery.
Speaker 1: This doesn't make any sense. And if it's not religion,
Speaker 1: and if it's not video games, and it's not the music,
Speaker 1: what else could it be. Well, according to some gun lovers,
Speaker 1: maybe it was the school's vaults. One of the things
Speaker 1: that that everyone agreed is don't have all of these
Speaker 1: unlocked back doors. Have one door into and out of
Speaker 1: the school. I would like to see this a national
Speaker 1: push towards instead of parents buying their kids all these
Speaker 1: tools and toys and games, invest in the classroom to
Speaker 1: make it safer. They have blankets that you can put
Speaker 1: up on the wall that are colorful and beautiful, but
Speaker 1: the ballistic blankets we need to install man traps, a
Speaker 1: series of interlocking doors at the school entrance that are
Speaker 1: triggered by a trip wire. Trip wire can be a gunshot,
Speaker 1: broken glass, or manual switch chics by a school employee,
Speaker 1: and it traps the shooter like a rat. Are these
Speaker 1: people hearing themselves? You think kids contel fantasy from reality.
Speaker 1: But your suggestions like how about we make a school
Speaker 1: with steal doors that slam and windows that turn into
Speaker 1: a concrete or even better, the whole school becomes a transformer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that way when the school shooter comes, the whole
Speaker 1: school can run away from it. Not to mention, have
Speaker 1: you guys ever been in a school? Huh? You know,
Speaker 1: as the fire alarm gets pulled as a prank like
Speaker 1: once a week, you think the jocks are going to
Speaker 1: be constantly tossing nerds into the man trap? Do you
Speaker 1: listen to yourselves? And even if those ideas don't work.
Speaker 1: Even if they don't, there's one solution that conservatives love
Speaker 1: to come back to time and time again, and over
Speaker 1: the weekend, it was proposed yet again by none other
Speaker 1: than Donald jo Head Trump. What we need now is
Speaker 1: a top to bottom security overhaul at schools all across
Speaker 1: our country, and above all, from this day forward, every
Speaker 1: school in America should have a police officer or an
Speaker 1: armed resource officer or duty at all times. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you always hear people saying this after a
Speaker 1: school shooting. What we need is armed police officers in
Speaker 1: the school. What's amazing about the debate this time is
Speaker 1: that they're still saying it's even though in the shooting
Speaker 1: that just happened there was an armed police officer and
Speaker 1: it didn't help. Classic Trump proposing a solution after it
Speaker 1: already failed. I mean, he would have been a lot
Speaker 1: of fun in the lifeboats after the Titanic. Next time,
Speaker 1: we should just ram that iceberg really hard. What's the
Speaker 1: worst that could happen? What do you think, Jack? What
Speaker 1: do you think? And as we've all heard by now,
Speaker 1: there wasn't just an armed resource officer on the scene.
Speaker 1: There was a whole platoon of police officers who responded
Speaker 1: to the shooting but didn't do ship to stop it
Speaker 1: while it was still going on. And I'm willing to
Speaker 1: guess it's because they also scared of a gunman armed
Speaker 1: with an a R fifteen. I feel like that's why
Speaker 1: we have to ask ourselves as a society, do we
Speaker 1: want to live in a world where anyone can legally
Speaker 1: buy weapons that the police are scared of huh and
Speaker 1: just by the way, Just by the way. For me,
Speaker 1: it's been amazing to see how some people love guns
Speaker 1: so much that they've gone from blue Lives Matter to
Speaker 1: screw these bitch ass cops if they're not here to
Speaker 1: get shocked, And what's the point of having them around
Speaker 1: the police? Oh, now you don't care about the cops
Speaker 1: lives like, I don't know. Maybe it's just me. I
Speaker 1: would rather say, get rid of the air fifteen's and
Speaker 1: make these officers jobs a lot more safe. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: just me. It's long how people flip. You just flip
Speaker 1: whenever you feel like. It's so so crazy, how the
Speaker 1: cops they can't do anything right. They shoot people because
Speaker 1: they think they have a gun, and then now they're
Speaker 1: like they know it's a gun, They're like, well, we
Speaker 1: can't shoot them if it's a wallet. Maybe, But I mean, so, look,
Speaker 1: I know that America is never going to do what
Speaker 1: Canada's doing. I don't even expect that. Right. There's a
Speaker 1: gun culture in this country that is fought too ingrained
Speaker 1: to ever truly get rid of it. And I also
Speaker 1: know that we're not going to stop gun violence altogether.
Speaker 1: I'm not naive, but I would hope. I would just
Speaker 1: hope that after a tragedy like this, Americans could agree
Speaker 1: that losing some of these is worth it to prevent
Speaker 1: losing more of these. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. He
Speaker 1: represented Newtown when the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre occurred
Speaker 1: a decade ago, and following the devastating school shooting in Uvaldi, Texas,
Speaker 1: he begged his colleagues to act. Why do you go
Speaker 1: through all the hassle of getting this job, of putting
Speaker 1: yourself in a position of authority If your answer is
Speaker 1: that as this slaughter increases, as our kids run for
Speaker 1: their lives, we do nothing. What are we doing? Why
Speaker 1: are you here if not to solve a problem as
Speaker 1: existential as this? Joining us live now from Hartford, Connecticut,
Speaker 1: Please welcome. Send it, Christ Murphy to the day, Sandra Murphrey.
Speaker 1: It it must feel at some point like you you are,
Speaker 1: you know, going up against an immovable force. It must
Speaker 1: feel at some point like you're engaging in a conversation
Speaker 1: that seems to go around and around in circles. But
Speaker 1: it seems like in and around this time there is
Speaker 1: some movement. There are some Republicans who have said, you
Speaker 1: know what, maybe there is something we should be doing,
Speaker 1: even if it is not the perfect solution. Let's let's
Speaker 1: jump straight into that and talk about what you've seen
Speaker 1: in terms of a bypasses and move to change what
Speaker 1: gun safety should be in America. Well, Trevor, thanks for
Speaker 1: having me on. And it does feel, UM, often like
Speaker 1: deja vu repeating itself. UM. Ten years I've been at this, UM,
Speaker 1: the American public has made up their mind. There's nothing
Speaker 1: in this country that's as popular as changing the gun
Speaker 1: laws to make our kids safer. Of Americans support things
Speaker 1: like making sure that everybody has to go through a
Speaker 1: background check before they buy a gun. UM, but we
Speaker 1: run up against this brick wall, which is the power
Speaker 1: of the gun industry and the gun lobby. But you're right,
Speaker 1: it does feel different this time. UM. I just got
Speaker 1: off the phone off a zoom call with UM about
Speaker 1: uh ten or twelve Republicans and Democrats that are trying
Speaker 1: to pass something that will save lives, not do everything,
Speaker 1: but try to break this log jam. And I think
Speaker 1: it's because of the very unique cataclysmic nature of this
Speaker 1: last mass shooting, but also because over the last ten years,
Speaker 1: you know, we've built an anti gun violence movement that
Speaker 1: is powerful, that has just as many members and just
Speaker 1: as much money as the n R and the gun
Speaker 1: lobby has, and that has started to have an impact.
Speaker 1: So I don't know whether this is going to succeed.
Speaker 1: I've been, you know, Charlie Brown kicking up football that
Speaker 1: gets pulled out from under me over and over again
Speaker 1: enough times to know that maybe this won't turn out differently.
Speaker 1: But UM, I owe it to the families in Texas,
Speaker 1: the families in my state, in Sandy Hook, to give
Speaker 1: it a try. What seems to be the hold up?
Speaker 1: What are some of the internal conversations that you're having,
Speaker 1: you know, without betraying anybody's trust, what are the sticking points?
Speaker 1: Because if if so many Americans, if such a large
Speaker 1: percentage is in support of many of these common sense measures,
Speaker 1: why then do their representatives not seem able to put
Speaker 1: those things into effect? Well right now, this is a
Speaker 1: problem only inside the Republican Party. Every single Democrat in
Speaker 1: the Senate would support things like expanded background checks, and
Speaker 1: and the reason that there's a problem in the Republican
Speaker 1: Party is that UM to win a Republican primary today,
Speaker 1: a lot of my colleagues think that you need the
Speaker 1: endorsement of the un lobby, not not just because of
Speaker 1: the money that comes from groups like the n r A,
Speaker 1: but because, um, you know, associating yourself with the gun
Speaker 1: industry has become kind of a proxy for a broader
Speaker 1: set of conservative values. And so we've got to solve
Speaker 1: that problem for Republicans. We've got to find another way
Speaker 1: for them to demonstrate how conservative they are without having
Speaker 1: to do the bidding of a of an industry that
Speaker 1: is supported by only ten percent of their constituents. But
Speaker 1: that's starting to change because now a lot of Republicans
Speaker 1: are starting to see if they vote for things, um,
Speaker 1: you know, like restrictions on UM assault weapons, they actually
Speaker 1: we rewarded by larger numbers of their constituents than ever
Speaker 1: before that support these things. So I think the political
Speaker 1: calculations of some of my colleagues are beginning to change,
Speaker 1: but it's slow. You know, for decades they were told
Speaker 1: you can never ever beat the gun lobby in an election.
Speaker 1: That's not true anymore, but it takes a little while
Speaker 1: for that lesson to be learned. Let's talk about some
Speaker 1: of the concrete steps. Then you're looking to take. You know,
Speaker 1: every mess shooting in America is fall load very promptly
Speaker 1: by people saying this wouldn't be solved by that solution.
Speaker 1: This solution wouldn't solve that problem, and it becomes a
Speaker 1: chicken and the egg scenario that never seems to end.
Speaker 1: What are some of the concrete measures that you can
Speaker 1: take now to change some of the gun laws in
Speaker 1: America to make the country safer at least, if not perfect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think it's really important to remember that there's
Speaker 1: a mass slaughter in this country every single day. I
Speaker 1: get it, there's good reason why this country pays more
Speaker 1: attention after a catastrophe like Evaldi, But there's a hundred
Speaker 1: and ten, d twenty people every single day who died
Speaker 1: from guns. And in fact, since you've ad the there's
Speaker 1: been eighteen mass shootings in the United States. Now it
Speaker 1: was four people, ten people, twelve people, not enough to
Speaker 1: get the headlines, but there's a crisis every single day.
Speaker 1: What are we talking about? Red flag laws? These are
Speaker 1: the laws that allow you to take guns away temporarily
Speaker 1: from kids like this guy. And you've all day who
Speaker 1: is showing signs of doing something disastrous. We're talking about
Speaker 1: strengthening our background check system. We're not going to get
Speaker 1: all the way to universal background checks, but making sure
Speaker 1: that more gun sales come with these background checks. UM,
Speaker 1: we're talking about UM money for community anti violence initiatives,
Speaker 1: trying to wrap services around at risk kids, especially in
Speaker 1: our cities, UM, where poverty also often leads to violence. UM.
Speaker 1: That could make a big impact as well. So it's
Speaker 1: not everything I want, but it would be the most
Speaker 1: significant set of gun reforms in really thirty years, and
Speaker 1: we're closer than ever to getting it done. There are
Speaker 1: many UM, people who voted for Democrats who I think
Speaker 1: would sometimes look enviously at what Republicans are able to
Speaker 1: do despite despite you know, their setbacks. You know, we've
Speaker 1: seen what Mitch McConnell has been able to do with
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. We've seen what Republicans have been able
Speaker 1: to do with abortion and restricting it around the country. UM,
Speaker 1: do do you ever consider these options? Do you ever
Speaker 1: think to yourself, oh, man, we should also be looking
Speaker 1: at ways to use the tools and the mechanisms to
Speaker 1: present to us in America to get something done, or
Speaker 1: or is there a reason that you don't take that approach? Well,
Speaker 1: right now, we have a majority in the House the
Speaker 1: Senate that support expanding background checks to every gun sale,
Speaker 1: which would probably save the most lives. We were president,
Speaker 1: will sign that bill. The problem is the rules of
Speaker 1: the Senate right now require you to get sixty votes,
Speaker 1: not fifty votes, in order to pass a bill like that.
Speaker 1: So for the American people, it's frustrating, right because they
Speaker 1: did their job. They put majorities in the House, the Senate,
Speaker 1: President of the White House to support where they support
Speaker 1: expanded protections when it comes to our nation's kids in
Speaker 1: the safety of our communities. But the rules of the
Speaker 1: Senate stand in the way now. When Mitch McConnell wanted
Speaker 1: to get conservatives on the Supreme Court to outlaw abortion,
Speaker 1: he changed the rules of the Senate. But right now
Speaker 1: we are a few votes shy in the Democratic Caucus
Speaker 1: of changing the rules now that we're in charge. So yes,
Speaker 1: I don't think we should deliver really adopt the policies
Speaker 1: of Mitch McConnell. But I do think that when we
Speaker 1: have power, um, you know, when the voters have given
Speaker 1: us power, we should listen to them, um and do
Speaker 1: what the majority of Americans want us to do. The
Speaker 1: ongoing Russian war with Ukraine, or, as the Russian media says,
Speaker 1: there is no war, but we're also winning it. Ever
Speaker 1: since Vladimir Putin decided to aggressively crash on his neighboring
Speaker 1: country's couch, Ukraine has been asking America for bigger and
Speaker 1: better weapons to help them defend themselves. Now, usually when
Speaker 1: you ask America to send you weapons, they'll send them
Speaker 1: quicker than a restaurant that pre cooks the food in
Speaker 1: the morning and then just reheats it when you order
Speaker 1: it at nights. But because America and the rest of
Speaker 1: the world is terrified of starting World War three rightfully,
Speaker 1: so they've had to find ways to support Ukraine without
Speaker 1: being accused of attacking Russia. And so just today President
Speaker 1: Biden announced this. This morning, President Biden has announced the
Speaker 1: US will stand another seven million dollars worth of weapons
Speaker 1: defense systems to the Ukrainian military. And among the newly
Speaker 1: provided weaponry is the multiple launched Rockets system, which is
Speaker 1: a highly capable long range system. This has been the
Speaker 1: subject of debate inside the Biden administration for weeks now
Speaker 1: whether or not to provide Ukraine with these more advanced,
Speaker 1: longer range weapons systems. Concerns within the administration that Russia
Speaker 1: might view this as a provocative step, giving Ukraine the
Speaker 1: ability to strike within Russian territory. That's why the United
Speaker 1: States actually sought assurances and secure those assurances from Ukraine
Speaker 1: that they would not use these these rockets systems to
Speaker 1: strike Russian targets on Russian territory. Yeah, that's right. Biden
Speaker 1: made Ukraine promise that they will only use the rockets
Speaker 1: in Ukrainian territory, they will not use them in Russia. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's basically giving them advanced rockets like a dad
Speaker 1: gives his teenager credit card. It's like, now, remember what
Speaker 1: I told you, this is only for gash groceries and
Speaker 1: the strip up. No tax books this time. I don't
Speaker 1: want to see that charge again. But this is major help. Though.
Speaker 1: Seven hundred million dollars, that's a ton of rockets. Well
Speaker 1: maybe it's like ten rockets. I never know with military equipment, Like, no,
Speaker 1: you never know how much anything costs, you know. It's
Speaker 1: like when someone tells me they spent a hundred dollars
Speaker 1: at safora I have no idea if that's like one
Speaker 1: face cream or enough I gletter for a whole season
Speaker 1: of euphoria. I don't know how much it is. And look,
Speaker 1: I get that America is trying to find the balance
Speaker 1: between helping Ukraine and triggering its own war with Russia.
Speaker 1: But still this is putting Ukraine in a tough spot
Speaker 1: because who knows how easy these missiles also use. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't want us to be in World War three
Speaker 1: just because some Ukrainian soldier entered the distance in kilometers
Speaker 1: when it was supposed to be in miles. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like all at one point six.
Speaker 1: But I will say this is good for Ukraine to
Speaker 1: defend themselves, and this is good for Russia to know
Speaker 1: they can'cious push other countries around. And you know who
Speaker 1: this is most exciting for American missiles. Yeah, what a
Speaker 1: different experience this is going to be for them. I'm
Speaker 1: so excited. Oh, I'm so excited to be going overseas
Speaker 1: for the first time. And the best part is I've
Speaker 1: been invited. Wow, because my dad went to Iraq but
Speaker 1: he wasn't invited, and my grandfather he went to Vietnam,
Speaker 1: and boy did they not want him there. But look
Speaker 1: at me. I got invited to Ukraine. I'm a miss
Speaker 1: I'll go in to Ukraine. They invited me. I'm a
Speaker 1: good miss. Outlet my family la. My new one Man
Speaker 1: showed Missile in Ukraine will be debuting next week. You
Speaker 1: guys can joining All right, let's move on. Disney released
Speaker 1: a new Star Wars show on their streaming platform, Disney Plus,
Speaker 1: which I've heard is good but not as good as
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus. Now, this Star Wars show is not the
Speaker 1: one about the Mandalorian, and it's not the one about
Speaker 1: Boba Fett. No, this one is about Obi Wan Kenobi,
Speaker 1: the Galaxy's most powerful hobo. And anyone can see where
Speaker 1: this is going. All right, just like show off the
Speaker 1: show on Disney. You see what they're doing now, you
Speaker 1: get it. They plans to release a show about every
Speaker 1: character in Star Wars. It's genius, like a ton of money. Personally,
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the job of the hot sitcom.
Speaker 1: What I know, she broke your heart, job, but you've
Speaker 1: gotta start dating again. Dude, changing her up and putting
Speaker 1: it in a gold bikini doesn't count as a date. Silly.
Speaker 1: That shows also premiere next week anyway. The Obi Wan
Speaker 1: Kenobi show is introducing a lot of new characters to
Speaker 1: the Star Wars franchise, but there is one character in
Speaker 1: particular who isn't getting the warmest welcome from the fans.
Speaker 1: This morning, Obi Wan couldn Nobi himself putting his force
Speaker 1: behind co star Moses Ingram where is after social media
Speaker 1: users launched racist attacks against her after her debut in
Speaker 1: the Jedi Knights new series. She brings so much to
Speaker 1: the series. She brings so much to the franchise, and
Speaker 1: it just seconed me to my stomach to hear that
Speaker 1: this has been happening. We stand with Moses, We love Moses,
Speaker 1: and if you're sending her bullying messages, you're no Star
Speaker 1: Wars found in my mind. Moses, sharing she had received
Speaker 1: hundreds of racist messages following the series premiere. There's nothing
Speaker 1: anybody can do to stop this hate. I think the
Speaker 1: thing that bothers me is that like sort of this
Speaker 1: feeling that I've had inside of myself, which no one
Speaker 1: has told me, but this feeling of like I just
Speaker 1: gotta shut up and take it, and I'm not built
Speaker 1: like that. Neither should you be. No one should have
Speaker 1: to just shut up and take racism. I agree with that,
Speaker 1: especially in stall Wars like, what is this? What is
Speaker 1: this you racist? Installed? Like from the very beginning, this
Speaker 1: has been a series when no one thinks twice if
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford is best friends with a giant dog bear,
Speaker 1: or if a brother and sister want to smash, no
Speaker 1: one complains about that they're not getting death threats. I'm
Speaker 1: so tired of fans attacking black people in Star Wars
Speaker 1: when there are so many other races and species they
Speaker 1: could begging to bigts it against. Think about it, you
Speaker 1: could hate everyone going to rant about the creepy twilex,
Speaker 1: you know, or the greedy jawas. There's so many more
Speaker 1: opportunities for racism than just black people. Mix it up,
Speaker 1: brought in your horizons, you know, Or is the Ewoks
Speaker 1: saying nevi? You know, I gotta think bigger and where
Speaker 1: it is. Get out there and you know, it's really
Speaker 1: great that even McGregor made a video supporting his co Stoff.
Speaker 1: But I think Star Wars needs to come back even
Speaker 1: harder at the racist right, make them suffer. You should
Speaker 1: give Princess Leiah and new black boyfriend. Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: It's will be a dope. See, he's gonna come back
Speaker 1: in and be like a yo leiah, I got the
Speaker 1: plans for the death. Stop we don't tonight? All right, finally,
Speaker 1: let's talk about families. You know, one of the best
Speaker 1: parts about having a family is that you have people
Speaker 1: to blame in therapy for why you haven't succeeded in life.
Speaker 1: And and also you have people who will continue your
Speaker 1: lineage deep into the plastic bad global warming apocalypse. Now,
Speaker 1: there are a few cultures who take family more seriously
Speaker 1: than Indian people, but as this next story shows, some
Speaker 1: of them might be taking it a little too seriously.
Speaker 1: Pilots take a quick peek at what's trending right now
Speaker 1: and unusual lawsuit in India. Parents are suing their only
Speaker 1: son for not giving them a grandchild. Sadiv and Sadaya
Speaker 1: Pasad say that they've done their heard. They paid for
Speaker 1: their son's pilot training, a lavish wedding and even a honeymoon,
Speaker 1: and they say that they've waited six years for a
Speaker 1: grandchild and now they have filed a lawsuit saying that
Speaker 1: if their son and daughter in law don't give them
Speaker 1: a grandchild within a year, they owe the parents fifty
Speaker 1: million rupees, which is equivalent to six hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. Damn, damn, this is wild. They're suing
Speaker 1: their son for not giving them a grandchild. Being parents
Speaker 1: is so weird. You spend the first eighteen years doing
Speaker 1: everything you can to stop your kids from having sex,
Speaker 1: and then as soon as they grow up, you turned
Speaker 1: into fret rose. You know, you gotta get laid, dude,
Speaker 1: and don't use a condomator. That ship's losers. Just do it.
Speaker 1: Do it now. As weird as it is, part of
Speaker 1: me sees where these parents are coming from, though, I mean,
Speaker 1: the only reason you have kids is so that you
Speaker 1: can get grandchildren. Yeah, let's be honest. Nobody wants to
Speaker 1: be a parent, you know. It's just what you have
Speaker 1: to do to become a grandparents. The name is in it.
Speaker 1: It's grand it's better. And also grandkids and grandparents are
Speaker 1: on the same page. Of course, grandparents want to be grandparents.
Speaker 1: You know they were. They're the same thing. They both
Speaker 1: loved telling long and pointless stories. They have so many
Speaker 1: of the same life experiences. And she's like, hey, Grandpa,
Speaker 1: I walked it into park and I saw a puppy
Speaker 1: and I PopEd it in my pants, like Wow, same
Speaker 1: here kid. Oh but look, if these parents really want grandkids,
Speaker 1: I don't know if the lawsuits it's really gonna help
Speaker 1: make that happen, especially with like a year you've given
Speaker 1: them a year you're in less every time. Now their
Speaker 1: son has sex, he's thinking about his parents. They did this,
Speaker 1: not me, and that lawsuit is definitely gonna help his
Speaker 1: dirty talk. Can you imagine this poor Indian guys gonna
Speaker 1: be in his bedroom he's just like, do like that?
Speaker 1: Dude like that? You're like the way I'm trying to
Speaker 1: avoid paying six d seventy five dollars to my parents.
Speaker 1: This is a do million rupee pump r idea fifty
Speaker 1: million rupee? How would you do that? On May, a
Speaker 1: man armed with an Air fifteen style rifle shots up
Speaker 1: a supermarket in Buffalo. Ten days later, another man with
Speaker 1: an Air fifteen style rifle shot up a school in Texas,
Speaker 1: and just yesterday a man with an Air fifteen style
Speaker 1: rifle shot up a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Now
Speaker 1: you might think the problem here is all the Air
Speaker 1: fifteen style rifles, but that just shows how little you know,
Speaker 1: because the real problem, according to some is all the
Speaker 1: doors have one door into and out of the school
Speaker 1: and have that one door armed police officers at that door.
Speaker 1: If there should be one entrance in and one entrance
Speaker 1: out in all of our elementary and all of our
Speaker 1: middle schools are small enough to do that. It is
Speaker 1: about the single point of entry. If the school was
Speaker 1: on lockdown, could of the door have been locked where
Speaker 1: he couldn't have gotten in? Classroom? Doors should be hardened
Speaker 1: to make them lockable from the inside and close to
Speaker 1: intruders from the outside. That's right. America has a doors problem.
Speaker 1: In fact, some doors are totally unhinged, and yet politicians
Speaker 1: are doing nothing. And since we know other countries don't
Speaker 1: have America's mass shooting problem, that clearly means that they
Speaker 1: know something about doors that we don't. So we asked
Speaker 1: Michael Costans to hit the streets and find out how
Speaker 1: other countries deal with their doors. In the days since
Speaker 1: you Valley, we've had eleven more mass should hold on
Speaker 1: ship another one. In the days since your Valley, we've
Speaker 1: had twelve more mass mold on news alert, thirty fourteen
Speaker 1: mass students. But for some reason, mass shootings are the
Speaker 1: one part of American culture that isn't popular in other countries.
Speaker 1: How often are you having mass shootings in India? It's
Speaker 1: a weekly, it's a daily. Never never heard of? Wow?
Speaker 1: So what are they doing differently than us? Mass shootings
Speaker 1: in America? Everyone knows what's causing them. No one's really
Speaker 1: saying it. It's the elephant in the room. Let's say
Speaker 1: it together. America has too many gos. Wait what did
Speaker 1: you say? The one thing America can do to prevent
Speaker 1: mass shootings is to limit each school to one or
Speaker 1: even better, zero doors. What that doesn't make sense? One do?
Speaker 1: How is that going to look? Like? How are you
Speaker 1: going to get into fire? Let's say we're in the
Speaker 1: school together with no doors and we're in the fire.
Speaker 1: That's why the kids should have guns. You shoot out
Speaker 1: a circle, I'll grab your hand, will be like I
Speaker 1: saw it an action movie once and then we then
Speaker 1: we go out or we shoot out the window. What
Speaker 1: a guns have to do with it? I'm talking about
Speaker 1: like doors, you know, like the shooters come in through doors.
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure why these two weres for ignoring the
Speaker 1: real threat to our nation doors? How did the Polish
Speaker 1: government defeat the door lobby? They don't. They just let
Speaker 1: people have doors. Okay, and how many shootings have there
Speaker 1: been exactly what? Yeah, but these are little European doors,
Speaker 1: like little ones that like Hansel and Gretel walked through.
Speaker 1: This isn't the old days with the old doors, the
Speaker 1: big wooden heavy doors that was real difficult to open.
Speaker 1: You know. These are new modern doors, like even a
Speaker 1: kid can open them. There's so many heartless manufacturers like
Speaker 1: Smith and West No like greaton barrels have to do
Speaker 1: with the doors. I realized doors are a hot button issue,
Speaker 1: but just keep your cool. I'm not saying anything crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you should have a license to buy
Speaker 1: a door. You should have a background check to buy
Speaker 1: a door. If you have committed a violent crime in
Speaker 1: the last five years, maybe there's a waiting period for
Speaker 1: you to buy a door. So you say that buying
Speaker 1: a gun should be easier than any or do it
Speaker 1: when the guns have to do with it. Guns are
Speaker 1: what keep us safe. Foreigners like to say that Americans
Speaker 1: are obsessed with guns, yet when it comes to preventing
Speaker 1: mass shootings, all they wanted to talk about was guns. Now,
Speaker 1: who's obsessed? Do you think it would help to ban revolvers? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know, the doors that go around like, oh, I thought, sorry,
Speaker 1: you were thinking of guns. But what about your constitutional
Speaker 1: right to have a gun? Constitutional right? Whoa does it suck?
Speaker 1: Over there? We have a No, you can't buy a gun.
Speaker 1: Just like that. You have to have permission to have
Speaker 1: a gun permid a license. Yeah, a license. You can't
Speaker 1: go in the shop and have a gun. It's complicated.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what's simple. One door. You keep
Speaker 1: coming back to these guns, right, People are coming through
Speaker 1: the doors to do dangerous stuff. Wow, they have to
Speaker 1: have something dangerous with them, like a gun, and it
Speaker 1: does I don't know. You walk through the does and
Speaker 1: I can't see that. I'm sorry, I can't understand. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you apologizing and apology accepted. Maybe one day these
Speaker 1: foreigners will have some actual advice and how to stop
Speaker 1: mass shootings in America. But until then, our door is open.
Speaker 1: Before we go. Please consider donating to every town for
Speaker 1: gun safety. There are movements of parents, students, survivors, educators,
Speaker 1: gun owners, and concerned citizens fighting to end gun violence
Speaker 1: and build safer communities. Research shows that common sense public
Speaker 1: safety policies can reduce gun violence and save lives. Every
Speaker 1: town works with local, federal, and state governments to enact
Speaker 1: and implement those policies, so, if you can, please donate
