Speaker 1 (00:00):
Damn he how.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's time for Donkey of the day. I'm trying to
beat donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by
what they already did. I'm not making these people do
these days called donkey of the day, and it really
caught me off guard. Damn Charlamagne. Who got the donkey
out of the day today? Well, Jessica Robin Moore a donkey
of the day for Thursday, April twenty fifth. God the
lawmakers in Tennessee who have passed the bill that allows
(00:25):
teachers to carry guns in school Let's go to NBC
News for the report police.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Chaos erupting in Tennessee state capital, where lawmakers just passed
a bill that would allow teachers to carry concealed handguns
in schools. Emotions were high as protesters descended on the
House gallery waiving signs as health representatives voted sixty eight
to twenty eight to pass the bill, following the state
Senate's lead, we are.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Being blamed for putting guns in schools, but the purpose
of it is to protect our children.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
The teachers would be required to have a permit, due training,
get a background check, and mental health evaluation.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Currently it's just one of those gun free zones where
people know they can go there and take advantage of
folks preastreather.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
NBC News.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Now, let the record show we have had this discussion
here on the Breakfast Club before, and I understand maybe
why a teacher would want to carry a gun into school.
I mean, if you have a license to carry a
gun and pistol, if you're not to properly use your
gunna pistol, if you have, you know, your gun a
pistol in a secure place, just like you do it
do at home. I don't have an issue per se
(01:33):
with you being able to carry your gun anywhere. And
the reason I'm giving these lawmakers in Tennessee donkey today
is because this bill was passed a year after a
shooter opened fire and killed six people at Nashville school.
You mean to tell me, instead of coming up with
a comprehensive plan to reduce gun violence, out of all
the things you could have done to attempt to curb
(01:53):
gun violence, this is the best y'all could come up
with out of all the collective perspectives that could have
come from this group of legislators. The best y'all could
come up with In response, to a mass shooting is
let the teachers carry guns. See. The reason I believe
a teacher should be able to carry a gun is
because I don't know no better. I'm not a legislator,
and because I'm not a legislator, the only thing I
(02:14):
can think of is self preservation. If nobody can come
up with any great ideas to protect me, then I'm
going to resort to what I know to protect me,
and that's prayer in my pistol, God and the clock.
But once again, I'm a country boy, raised on a
dirt road in Monsco going to South Carolina. I am
not a legislator. Legislators in a developed country like America.
By the way, no other developed country has as much
gun violence as America. But in a developed country like America,
(02:35):
there has to be a better way, and there is.
But America does not know how to solve problems. Lawmakers
should be passing gun laws that actually reduce gun violence.
How about background checks for all private sales and restrictions
on multiple purchases. How about gun violence restraining restraining orders? Yes,
gun violence restraining orders. These allow family members of law
(02:56):
enforcement to petition to court the temporarily bar and a
rich person from buying firearms. Police may also be permitted
to confiscate their guns. One of the things I found interesting,
you know, was this thing called investing in smart gun technology.
President Obama said in twenty thirteen, if we can set
it up so you can't unlock your phone unless you've
got the right fingerprint, you know, you should be able
(03:18):
to do the same with a gun. And by the way,
all this safety technology is available. Entrepreneurs have introduced products
that use biometrics to identify a weapons right for owner
while locking it for everyone else. And I read that
once these smart guns, Oh, if they have these smart guns,
they may not prevent mass shootings with firearms purchased legally,
but they can prevent crimes or suicides with weapons owned
(03:41):
by somebody else. A lot of times you hear stories
about a kids stealing their parents' gun or stealing somebody's
gun and going to commit these mass shootings. They don't
even fund gun violence research like they should. In fact,
they have tried to eliminate the funding for gun violence research.
And you know why because in nineteen ninety six Congress,
with a push from the NRA. And we'll get to
that past the Dickey Amendment, named after its author, former
(04:03):
Republican Representative Jay Dickey from Arkansas, which mandated that no
CDC funds could be spent on research that may be
used to advocate or promote gun control. And this, ladies
and gentlemen, is why we really can't get any proper
gun legislation anywhere in this country because so many of
these elected officials benefit from NRA money, if not the NRA,
(04:25):
other gun lobbyists. Okay, the Governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee,
signed an executive order meant to strintend gun restrictions and
he urged state lawmakers to consider stronger gun restrictions. But
how can state lawmakers do that when they receive funding
from the NRA. Last year, a data from Open Secrets,
which is a research group that tracks money in US politics,
found that quite a few Tennessee senators received money from
(04:48):
the NRA. Let's listen to some of them.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
These are the numbers for Senator Blackburn. D NRA has
donated one point three million dollars in direct and indirect
contributions to the senator. In all her Campaig has raised
more than eleven million dollars contributions from the NRA make
up about twelve percent. Senator Haggerty accepted almost sixteen thousand
dollars since his first run for the Senate in twenty twenty.
(05:12):
Now his fundraising totals at about eleven million dollars. Congressman
Fleischman on the House side, receiving about the same amount
from the NRAs. His campaign total is almost eight point
seven million dollars, and the NRA did endorse him in
twenty twelve. The Gun Rights group and its support for
Congressman Burchet looks like this, just a little less than
five thousand dollars from the NRA. In all, he has
(05:34):
raised almost three point eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
So once again, these politicians will never vote for any
type of comprehensive gun reform because they are in the
pockets of an organization that advocates against gun restrictions. So
of course their solution will be more guns. And that's
how we've gotten to the point where Tennessee lawmakers have
passed a bill that teachers can carry guns. Please let
(05:59):
remy MA give you these Tennessee lawmakers the biggest.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
He ha he ha he ha, you stupid mother, Are
you dumb?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's the best thing can come up with, yeah, what
is sad?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
And even if you do, if you are a registered
gun owner, you're not allowed to take your gun on
school grounds. It's like certain rules and regulations you have
to have to have a gun's less you're a police
officer or lessure of the law. So would somebody that
doesn't do it for a living be precise enough to
shoot somebody that's doing something bad and not hit a
(06:35):
student by accident bullet not go through the wall to
move off of being smarter that emotion?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I don't know. But when you have lawmakers who can't
have who can't come up with proper legislation to protect
individuals or to even slow down gun violence, I can
see where somebody would probably resort to self preservation. I
want to resort to self preservation.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Like you said, we spend all this money, sending all
these millions and billions of dollars to all these other nations. Yes,
we can afford. At one time I was like, well,
it's gonna be too expensive now, but if we can
send billions of dollars overseas, we can afford to have
security police officers in schools.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Would yeah, I would rather that if you're not gonna
fund you know, gun violence research, then you know, how
about fund these schools and you know other institutions fund
them to be properly protected.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Right And if you don't want, you know, police officers
and uniforms in school all day, protect them because you
feel like your kids will feel awkward or uncomfortable, put
under covers. Just have that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Have somebody there, Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You mean like the fire marshal on the plane kind
of Yeah, all.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Right, well, thank you for that. Donkey Today.
