1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: You're trying to be a fake ass charlamage.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: They only wants charlamage. Damn Chalomame who is given dusky

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: other day soon now well, Sexy red Donkey today for Thursday,

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: August fourteenth goes to two teenagers in my home state

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 2: of South Carolina. They're teenagers, so I don't have their names.

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: But this isn't really about them. It's about us, Okay,

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: a teachable moment. See, I'm thinking about President Trump and

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: the federal takeover DC, the police, and you know, mobilization

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: of the National Guard.

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Yes, we know.

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: This is yet another distraction that the Trump the Trump

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: administration has created to attempt to get people to stop

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: talking about the Epstein files. But listening to the President

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: cite a lot of false and misleading claims about murder

15
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: and youth crime in the nation's capital got me thinking,

16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: just because the data and information he may have cited

17
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: is wrong, doesn't mean that youth crime in DC and

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: all over the country isn't happening. Because, let's be honest,

19
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: we all know it is, and we all know why

20
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: it is because the powers that be aren't doing anything

21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: to truly combat crime in our communities. They never have Okay,

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: if you aren't addressing the social and economic factors that

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: contribute to crime, then you're not serious about combating crime.

24
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: But we're gonna get back to that because I need

25
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: to talk about these teenagers. In South Carolina, two juveniles

26
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: have been detained for stealing a train and causing a derailment.

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: This is impressive, stupid, but impressive because I've never, ever, ever,

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: ever heard of somebody commit a crime like this. Let's

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 2: go to NBC four for the report.

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: Police two teams in Lawrence County are facing charges for

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: taking a joy ride in a train. Lawrence Police said

32
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: it happened sometimes Saturday night. They say two juveniles unlawfully

33
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: entered both the Carolina Piedmont Railroad and CSX Transportation Railroad

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: facilities and stole a train. Investigators say they drove around

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: the rail yard and when they tried to return the engines,

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: they crashed into parked railcars, causing a derailment. Official say

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: both those teens face several charges that include second degree burglary,

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: grand larceny, and malicious damage to property.

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: Listen, I need all my nieces and nephews out there,

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: please listen to your uncle. Shalah If you can take

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 2: the time to unlawfully into a railroad facility and figure

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: out how to start an engine of a train that

43
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: was connected to other trains, and then drive those three

44
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: trains around the yard before taking them onto the rail

45
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: line that connects toward Greenville. If you can figure out

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: how to do all that, damn it, you can do anything. Okay.

47
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: There is literally nothing in your mind can conceive that

48
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: you can't achieve because your brain told you to do

49
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: this and you did it. First of all, my whole life,

50
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: I've never thought about driving a train ever. But those

51
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: are the kinds of thoughts that if we were investing

52
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: in our kids the way we should, they could share

53
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: with us and we could help them become an actual

54
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: train operator. I wish that these two kids would have

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: told an adult that, Hey, I want to drive a

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: train and connecting with someone who can make that dream

57
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: come true for them, Okay, like a ride along program

58
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: or something. Because I just googled this morning, how do

59
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: you become a railroad train operator? And correct me if

60
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. All the railroad train operators out there, but

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: from what I see, the requirements are pretty basic. Okay,

62
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: you could become a railroad train operator by having a

63
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: high school diploma are the equivalent of it. It says

64
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: you got to pass a physical exam and complete training

65
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: and certification through the Federal Railroad Administration. An entry level

66
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: positions often require on the job training and advancement to

67
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: engineer roles. They typically involve years of experience as a conductor,

68
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: and they make pretty decent money. Okay. The best paying

69
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: jobs in railroads include locomotive engineers. They earn around eighty

70
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: five grand a year, railroad conductors make about sixty five

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: a year, Railroad yard masters which I don't even know

72
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: what that is, earn up to seventy grand a year,

73
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: and signalance WWITCH operators can make over eighty grand. My

74
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: point is, kids, if you can spend time and energy

75
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: doing the wrong thing, you can use that same time

76
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: and energy to do the right thing. But this is

77
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: where we, okay, come into play. We are feeling a

78
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: lot of our kids. Man. I already know that Trump

79
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: administration wants to make America a police state, but making

80
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: America a police state isn't going to solve the problem.

81
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: You really want to combat crime, you have to deal

82
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: with the social and economic factors that contribute the crime.

83
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: You know why I invest so much of my personal time, energy,

84
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: and resources into mental health initiatives. It's because I understand

85
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: that if you help someone be the best version of

86
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: themselves mentally and emotionally, you make society better. Okay, when

87
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: you help someone deal with their unheald trauma and that

88
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: pain and hurt the individual is feeling, when you help

89
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: them get some healing, they don't go out here and

90
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: project that pain and hurt on the other people. Okay,

91
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: but that is dealing with what's in people's head and heart.

92
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: We got to start dealing with what is in people's pockets. Okay.

93
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: Acting like poverty and crime don't go hand in hand

94
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: is retarded. Okay. You have to give these kids opportunity

95
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: and something to do. Idle mind is a devil's playground.

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: When kids don't have nothing to do and no legal

97
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: means and making ends meet, they will resort the crime

98
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: unless you provide them with opportunity. We know the answers

99
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: to all these problems. Are governments know the answers to

100
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: these problems. Okay. We got to stop saying the system

101
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: is broken, all right. It's designed to do exactly what

102
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: it's doing. For example, you want kids to not turn

103
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: the crime. Okay. You need strong family support, which is

104
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: why this system goes out its way to tell families apart.

105
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 2: You need positive community involvement, after school programs, recreational activities,

106
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: mentorship programs, commute the engagement, youth clubs, religious groups. You

107
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: have to give these kids a real sense of belonging.

108
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: But they cutting funding for a lot of these programs. Okay,

109
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: because they know it gives them purpose. Of course, education,

110
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: of course, job training and employment opportunities. Okay, Social and

111
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: emotional development that goes into the education piece. They need

112
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: to have social and emotional learning from pre k to

113
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: twelfth grade. Teach these kids empathy and compassion, conflict resolution skills.

114
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: We know the solutions to these problems, but we don't

115
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: implement them because the school the prison pipeline is big business. Now,

116
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: let's get back to the real root cause poverty and inequality. Okay,

117
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: address that and you getting right to the root cause

118
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: of reducing the risk factor associated with crime. Mental health support.

119
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: I will stress that until the day I die. Okay,

120
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: help them deal with their trauma and emotional distress. Early

121
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: intervention programs okay, target these at risk youth. Not by

122
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: militarizing the police and sending the FEDS into these cities.

123
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: Target them with early intervention programs that can prevent them

124
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: from developing harmful behaviors and trajectories. Okay, trade schools, steam programs,

125
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: job call and once again, mental health services. Okay. See

126
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: when I look at these kids who went for a

127
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: joy ride on this train before they deralted, I don't

128
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: see lost causes. Okay, I see the right energy going

129
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: in the wrong direction. Because once again, if they can

130
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: come up with it and idea to go into a

131
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: railroad facility, start a train and drive it, then they

132
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: can walk into a trade school and then how to

133
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: do HVAC. Okay, they can go to school in major

134
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: and anything in steam. But we have to be their guide.

135
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: We have nobody coming to save us because the upward

136
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: mobility of these youngins and queens is not part of

137
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: the plan of their system. Please give these young teenagers

138
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: to stole that train in South Carolina the biggest sy hall.

139
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: But we have what have them? I mean, look, oh yeah,
