I I could believe it. That’s what they do? Um, okay so the key is the shooting.

02:58.70 J. Aundrea

Um, the kids. Yeah.

03:05.00 Bruce Anthony

Ah I feel like we have to talk about it even though I don’t want to talk about it and and

honestly it’s because I might be a little desensitized now because it’s happening so

frequently.

03:15.95 J. Aundrea

I think after Sandy hook when the bozos and the murderers of this country realized that

our government was not going to do anything to even protect 6 and 7 year old children.

That’s like it was like all the gloves are off the bar is in hell and um, now they’re

just I looked it up. Cdc says for ages between what one and nine

03:52.24 J. Aundrea

1 of leading cause of death is assault homicide for children. Um in this country and that’s

our fault. That’s our fault. Um, in just this month alone and just in March Twenty Twenty

three there have been 38 mass shootings 57 people have been killed.

03:53.82 Bruce Anthony

A.

04:00.90 Bruce Anthony

Um, there.

04:11.62 J. Aundrea

Ah, hundred and thirty thirty people have been injured according to axios again, it’s

only a third month I mean but that was just for the month of March yeah, that was just

for the month of march.

04:17.34 Bruce Anthony

We’ve only been it’s only the third month like we just only the third month of the year

there oh that wasn’t that wasn’t 2023 altogether that was just march.

04:30.75 J. Aundrea

No in 2023 altogether there’s been a hundred and thirty mass shootings. It hasn’t even

been a hundred and thirty days in this year yet the math is yeah.

04:40.25 Bruce Anthony

Dear that math is mathing that math is mathing. Yeah you write look people want to talk about

rights the second amendment and I’m not for repealing the second amendment. The last thing

I want is the only people that have guns. Is the government and the police I yeah I

believe in tooling up I also believe there’s no justifiable reason for us to have assault

weapons there assault.

05:01.22 J. Aundrea

Boo. Yeah I am with all there.

05:10.80 J. Aundrea

Correct correct.

05:16.13 Bruce Anthony

Weapons that it’s in the name right there if you need an assault if you need an a r

fifteen to go duck hunting dam it then you just need to retire from from hunting cause

you can’t shoot you worst in Omar Epps and and and into deep and if y’a don’t know that.

05:25.12 J. Aundrea

You ain’t bringing you ain’t bringing no meat home.

05:35.89 Bruce Anthony

Movie dammit grow up. There’s some good movies in the 90 s but in it in into deep Omar Eps

was told to shoot some ah to shoot some people and he missed he emptied the clip and missed

everybody. He couldn’t shoot. That’s what they said he can’t shoot so like if you need.

05:37.11 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah, on.

05:48.47 J. Aundrea

See.

05:55.16 Bruce Anthony

And all that to kill some ducks or some deer a dear. Ah dear, do move fast but a there

is a gigantic target like if you.

06:01.48 J. Aundrea

But but again, you’re not coming back with any meat you’re sending the hound off to go

get the duck and the dog come back confused as Hell because the duck don’t exist no more.

You didn’t blown it to hell. Okay, thank all the season little lips move.

06:12.41 Bruce Anthony

Obviously Obviouslyll is a little the lips the beak. Thank you I didn’t know what it

was.

06:20.59 J. Aundrea

But little duck billll moving and the dog your dog is confuing. They don’t know what

you send them all for because you so you’re not hunting with them. You’re not doing that

You’re not protecting your home with them because you don’t need an assault rifle to

protect your home. You.

06:28.50 Bruce Anthony

Right.

06:35.54 Bruce Anthony

And and this preparation for this government takeover that everybody that that that the

people that will defend The reason why having the Ar fifteen because they need to form a

a a. Good militia. Let me explain it to you that Ar fifteen if the government come at

us that Ar fifteen a gonna do nothing to them drones because it they say the Civil War Theyin

line up, they they sending out them drones and there’s like oh everybody’s in a big group

with New. That’s.

06:57.60 J. Aundrea

Um.

07:02.95 J. Aundrea

Yeah, had not um, no no and Asho ask.

07:12.28 Bruce Anthony

That show asks. Mr Postman like that’s it. So i.

07:15.26 J. Aundrea

So for this shooting it occurred in Nashville at a private school sorry y’all I’m coming

back from vacation. So I did a lot of a a a so my voice is going in and out and that

that’s how you that.

07:27.41 Bruce Anthony

A black women. Love to say a a okay.

07:35.27 J. Aundrea

That’s our hype. That’s how we hype you up. We gonna hit you with the a so my voice is

going in and out but a covenant school private a private school um in ah connection with

the covenant. But ah presbyterian church um, a what was she. 28 year old former student

um trans male use he uses he him pronouns. Ah that has no bearing on anything but I just

want to note and again is another mass shooting by a white man.

08:09.41 Bruce Anthony

Hi but you know what and I was reading the article they made a point to say that he was

Trans and I was like here they come here they come here they come despite the fact.

08:21.77 J. Aundrea

Um, here I come with the with the he.

08:28.30 Bruce Anthony

That that the most of the time these mass shootings are done by heterosexual Cis white

males like I don’t know what the percentages are but it’s like 99% of the time like like

it.

08:42.59 J. Aundrea

I feel like probably yeah ninety. Yeah Marjorie Taylor Green and and and but her rationale.

08:47.16 Bruce Anthony

Yeah, it’s it’s like really high I knew they were going to choose the 1 thing and and guess

who jumped on it. Yeah jumped right on it.

09:02.28 J. Aundrea

Was to talk about mental Health and testosterone. So again, we’re talking about disturbed white

males. The conversation has not pivoted from disturbed white males getting their hands

on assault rifles.

09:05.89 Bruce Anthony

Are.

09:15.43 Bruce Anthony

But I just knew it was going to be an attack on the transgender community and as what it

should be an attack on men. But I knew I just knew it I knew it as soon as I read it I was

like oh there it go.

09:19.29 J. Aundrea

Nice attack on man. Yeah.

09:27.34 J. Aundrea

I.

09:33.79 Bruce Anthony

It’s gonna be they won they just need and and God Forbid God forbid as I’m as I’m detouring

the conversation God Forbid one drag Queen harms the child.

09:45.57 J. Aundrea

Yeah.

09:48.71 Bruce Anthony

You know I’ve said into some of my other podcasts I’ve said in my personal life for people that

listen to me like that know me and it like I was like you That’s not a thing because

you have not heard of it because when it happens and I’m not sure that it wouldn’t be a plant

if it did happen when it happens if it happens it’ll be.

10:02.59 J. Aundrea

And. Right? Oh and will litter they may orgasm on screen it is it will be.

10:07.63 Bruce Anthony

Plastered all over ah right wing conservative news like you’ll hear about it.

10:18.27 Bruce Anthony

Hit it.

10:24.20 J. Aundrea

That would just be let it be a black drag queen harming children. All bets are off everything

at listen they are talking about shipping us back to Africa at that point.

10:33.10 Bruce Anthony

Oh my goodness. Ah.

10:40.37 Bruce Anthony

But I but I aint never been I don’t know where to go.

10:45.85 J. Aundrea

Um I don’t know where to go either. That’ll be my first time there but um, back to Nashville

was supposed to be.

10:52.25 Bruce Anthony

Yeah, we’re making light and and and I’m trying to bring an upbeat tone to something that’s

tragic in my own crazy warped way because.

10:59.76 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah. Here.

11:08.29 Bruce Anthony

Like I’m tired of yelling screaming and crying and and I just interviewed a gentleman that

interview will be up in a couple of weeks that is a foster care advocate and has fostered

over 60 children and he gave me some ah he gave me some statistics and.

11:09.88 J. Aundrea

Yeah.

11:25.82 Bruce Anthony

And 1 of the deep dark secrets in this country is how many children are being trafficked

and trafficked and he said yeah nobody ever wants to talk about that because it’s the

it’s the the darkest thing in our country so they talk about anything else but that.

11:28.89 J. Aundrea

Yeah.

11:42.84 J. Aundrea

Home.

11:44.88 Bruce Anthony

And it’s like the first thing that we should care about in this country are the kids they

care about the unborn kids they they they they right? and we’ll get on to the next thing

when they don’t want to feed the kids but we focus in right now on Nashville so.

11:48.12 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah care about they care about you a lot until you’re born.

12:03.28 J. Aundrea

Yeah, um, 6 people were killed I do want to say their names and I I got it written down

so I don’t get that incorrect and I again if I do mispronounce a name I apologize.

12:03.66 Bruce Anthony

Ah, continue on what you were saying I’m not gonna cut you off anymore.

12:18.93 Bruce Anthony

I’m not worried about you mispronouncing names I’m worried about that frog in your vote in

your throat when it’s serious right now I’m being you clear your throat.

12:21.64 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah, it’s it’s given me um, it’s given very much like um, quiet storm Vibes Ham ham.

12:31.59 Bruce Anthony

Now your voice is already deep enough. You don’t need to be no deeper.

12:40.59 J. Aundrea

I don’t know is is is gonna be like this guys I have fun on my vacation I don’t know what

to tell you? Um, so you have ah Evelyn ah Dykehouse Haley Scruggs and William ah William

Kenney they were all nine years old

12:45.45 Bruce Anthony

We’ll get to that we’ll get to that.

12:58.79 J. Aundrea

Um, Cynthia peak 61 Mike Hill 61 and Katherine kuz 60 who was the head of the school died

tragically and the this shooter was killed by police. Um.

13:05.64 Bruce Anthony

Um, yeah.

13:16.45 J. Aundrea

Far be it from me to shout out the police but shout out to the police for an incredible

response time 14 minutes and they had this thing shut down. Yeah.

13:22.26 Bruce Anthony

Yeah, you could shot out the police look little La La La La don’t don’t have people out here

thinking that we completely antipolice we not because as soon now as soon as let your

car get stolen. Let your car get stolen somebody breaking your house you gonna call the police.

13:30.30 J. Aundrea

I and leave current farm. Yeah I’m ah call the insurance company and then I’m gonna call

and then I’m Goingnna call onstar because Onstar will locate my vehicle faster than

the police will so.

13:40.65 Bruce Anthony

Natural cold.

13:44.55 Bruce Anthony

Okay, where now I don’t got a one star I’m a call to cops I’ll push our on Star button

though.

13:48.32 J. Aundrea

Again, Um, yeah, we know you will. That’s a is my joke. That’s that’s a good one. That’s

a good one.

14:00.68 Bruce Anthony

Oh we should tell that story We should tell that story at the end of the episode. Yeah

I If dad was here he would tell the story in such great detail. It would have everybody

on the edge they seat. We probably would not.

14:05.43 J. Aundrea

Well actually it was It wasn’t much of a story I don’t know.

14:13.12 J. Aundrea

Yeah, because I just no, we’re not going to be as good a storytelling as as he will Biden

does have an assault weapons ban out there for congress to vote on the house passed it.

14:18.96 Bruce Anthony

No, all right back to the kids.

14:31.70 J. Aundrea

House passed a ban on assault rifles back in July um, but they’re saying it’s largely

symbolic because it’s going to fail in the senate. So um, but you know I mean yeah, right.

14:42.32 Bruce Anthony

And that was back in July when Democrats had the majority they no longer have no no, we

have a no republican led house democrats still hold the senate.

14:49.60 J. Aundrea

Now we have a Republican led senate in cominging senate. So that’s right, Yeah, but it’s gonna

die. It’s gonna die in a senate by yeah, it’s gonna die in a senate I mean you know.

15:01.44 Bruce Anthony

There.

15:07.95 J. Aundrea

We talk about. We’re always talking about the mass shootings. There’s always and nothing

and that I’m so tired I think we all are and you have a gop that’s more interested and

we were talking about this earlier in these in this dog whistle.

15:13.13 Bruce Anthony

I’m sick of talking about it. Yeah.

15:26.98 J. Aundrea

Type of politicking where they’re railing against people of color mostly black people

and quote unquote woke culture and the Lgbt plus Community specifically the Trans Community

um under this.

15:34.76 Bruce Anthony

Woke. Ah.

15:43.75 J. Aundrea

I don’t know if it’s ironic or hypocritical. It might be both my mind’s not working right

now I’m still in Carter Hangia but the guys of protecting children when in reality you

could make a huge step towards protecting children.

15:50.00 Bruce Anthony

We don’t get to that.

16:02.79 J. Aundrea

By banning assault rifles which literally I mean we just said this have no real value

for the average citizen aside from just having it and saying that you have 1

16:18.30 Bruce Anthony

Well I’ll go you a step further if you’ve had a gun for 10 years will it shoot 25 years

50 right people got guns that are hundred years old. So.

16:25.38 J. Aundrea

Yes, yeah, people that people got them old last must be yes.

16:36.65 Bruce Anthony

Theoretically, there’s no real reason to continuously buy guns so is is it in our culture that we

are fascinated with guns. Yes American culture is fascinated with guns but also people want

to keep attacking the and nra and they absolutely should.

16:39.39 J. Aundrea

Threat.

16:51.95 J. Aundrea

Ah, the Nra’s tweet after this was disgusting if you are something about I’m paraphrasing

if you want to ban assault rifles. Then you’re a anti the second amendment full stop but

it was right after this.

16:55.43 Bruce Anthony

I didn’t even see the tweet. What what did? What did they tweet.

17:07.25 Bruce Anthony

Yeah, where there are lobbyists. Theyre lobbies but you know who they’re lobbying for the

gun Manufacturers. It’s a look. It’s not a theoretically. It’s not a viable business

because once you buy a gun.

17:11.93 J. Aundrea

Is.

17:16.36 J. Aundrea

Yeah.

17:24.81 J. Aundrea

Yeah, you right.

17:25.64 Bruce Anthony

You have a gun the gun works. It’s not like buying an air fryer. You get an air fryer.

It might last you my air fries burn out every 2 three years because I always get the cheap

ones and then I cook every day in them. But if I bought a a good one. It might last me.

17:36.32 J. Aundrea

Yet.

17:41.66 Bruce Anthony

5 six years but you can still have to replace the same thing with Tvs and things and this

it needs to be replaced guns last there are a hundred year old guns out there that will

still shoot right? So they have to.

17:42.81 J. Aundrea

Right? Your tre is everything in your daily life. Ah it needs to be replaced.

17:54.44 J. Aundrea

No.

18:00.76 Bruce Anthony

Entice the people to continuously buy more and one guns look. There is no justifiable

reason why you got 10 guns in their house if you’re a collector of guns I guess if you’re

they’re antique, maybe okay I kind of get that you want to have some some symbolic historic.

18:07.21 J. Aundrea

Mad.

18:19.67 Bruce Anthony

Artifact and you could let guns people collect a lot of different things. Okay, but ar 15

s ain’t ain’t a historical artifact right? Like so why do you got a whole who is the

politician I think it was a Tennessee politician that took a picture.

18:21.30 J. Aundrea

Yeah, sure. Not.

18:34.51 J. Aundrea

When.

18:37.80 Bruce Anthony

During Christmas that him and his whole family and everybody holding a r fifteen s even the

5 year old kids like that’s grooming if you want to know what grooming is that is grooming

so I mean look it’s capitalism baby. That’s what we represent in this country capitalism

get that money.

18:43.58 J. Aundrea

Yes, yes.

18:54.26 J. Aundrea

Capital.

18:57.79 Bruce Anthony

And these gun manufacturers don’t get that money. Yes, the Nra is a lobbyist organization.

But the main enemy the big boss the Thanos the the king the conqueror can we still bring

up king to conquer even though he hit his girl. We can’t bring him up anyway. Ah.

19:13.58 J. Aundrea

Yeah, can King King the conqueror probably has hit a woman or 2 now I’m not going about

the actor I’m talking about the actual character. Yes, so so.

19:16.74 Bruce Anthony

The King the.

19:22.40 Bruce Anthony

Um, yeah, yeah, well he’s killed them. He’s killed them. Yes, Yes, yeah, um I Baly will

to take that in real life. You portrayed a character Anyway, um I’m not gonna get into

that. But.

19:32.95 J. Aundrea

We’re not.

19:41.95 Bruce Anthony

The big bet are the gun manufacturers. It’s business Guess what ladies and gentlemen The

big bad is always business. It’s the it’s not the politicians. There are culpable but

it’s the money behind that.

19:42.14 J. Aundrea

M.

19:49.80 J. Aundrea

And yeah.

19:57.00 J. Aundrea

Yes, it’s always the money. It’s always the answer is always capitalism and the thing

that really truly boggles my mind is that is the people who really honestly truly believe

that it is their constitutional right to have a R fifteen and.

20:00.97 Bruce Anthony

It’s always my.

20:15.88 J. Aundrea

And to have an entire arsenal in their house and they’ve fed in to the propaganda to continue

to buy more and more guns to make a ah handful of people extremely rich like it’s literally

not about that. It’s they only care about your money.

20:32.97 Bruce Anthony

Well, but I mean you get that though right because it’s fear like they’re they’re they’re

pushing fear right? like you and our brother went to Texas to help with hurricanes hurricane

hard right.

20:33.45 J. Aundrea

They only care about your money right? Yeah work How they do it.

20:48.40 J. Aundrea

Hurricane Harvey yes yes,

20:51.60 Bruce Anthony

You were driving from Atlanta to Texas what was mom and dad’s instruction to you guys

as you were driving.

21:02.26 J. Aundrea

There was a lot of instructions because um, you know we’re driving through Alabama Mississippi

and Texas um be careful where you stop? um drive the speed limit at all times. Um.

21:04.43 Bruce Anthony

Right? on taxes. Okay, right.

21:18.78 J. Aundrea

Comply Comply comply you know.

21:18.95 Bruce Anthony

So did you and our brother have any problems when Yaa made that drive back and forth. Not

to say that things don’t happen in those areas.

21:25.92 J. Aundrea

No.

21:34.37 J. Aundrea

Um, because of the route I took I wasn’t going through west but Jesus nowhere Alabama Mississippi.

21:34.54 Bruce Anthony

But it is not 1960 anymore. Ok ok, but it’s a fear. It’s a fear that is warranted right?

It’s a fear that is warranted because of the history. But it’s like It’s like when I went

to Boston and Boston is notoriously a racist town I was kind of in the outskirts of Boston

and I went to a borrow I was literally an only black person. Maybe it’s my stature all

right? So there’s some. There’s some privilege in that because ain’t too many people when

they see me in person go mess with me.

21:57.29 J. Aundrea

When.

22:12.23 Bruce Anthony

But those people it was like I was having conversations with with neighbors right? that

that the idea of what Boston is may very well absolutely still be that. But it’s not the

1960 s 1970 s anymore.

22:15.32 J. Aundrea

Yeah.

22:26.70 J. Aundrea

Well I’ll I’ll make a point about it. Um, for anybody who knows anything about Texas

I spent several nights in vider Texas vider Texas is historically a sundowntown.

22:35.13 Bruce Anthony

I Don’t know what vote by was fire.

22:43.12 J. Aundrea

Um, for anybody who doesn’t know what a sundowntown is it means if you black if you blacken you

there after suntown that show ass if you’re there after sundown that show ass and down.

Yes, yes, um.

22:44.95 Bruce Anthony

Break it down from.

22:51.77 Bruce Anthony

In that suntown sundown during Jim Crow Times yes

23:00.86 J. Aundrea

But still also now it’s not that far from Jasper where they dragged that man back in

the 90 s um on three separate occasions while I was down there and I was talking to customers

about where I was living. They.

23:05.91 Bruce Anthony

Um, right.

23:16.39 J. Aundrea

Offered to let me stay these are black people offered to let me stay in their homes. They

do not know me but their advice was to get the hell out of there as soon as I pulled

into the neighborhood where I was staying. There was a giant confederate flag flying

on the corner. Um.

23:19.56 Bruce Anthony

In.

23:31.12 Bruce Anthony

Yeah.

23:35.25 J. Aundrea

And you know the person whose’s home I was Staying. It was a white man with an Asian

wife and he was like no, that’s not an issue. You know my wife’s Asian We don’t have a problem

those black folks were telling me they don’t have a problem with Asian people. They don’t

have a problem with I Saw. Um. Women in full he job at the at the grocery store. They’

have problem with them. They don’t have problem Latinos they are anti black so is is very

much still a thing.

23:58.91 Bruce Anthony

Are.

24:05.82 Bruce Anthony

I didn’t say that ah my my art. My point was it’s not the 1960 s 1970 s anymore. But but

the fear is still there and it made you react.

24:12.41 J. Aundrea

Right? yes.

24:21.10 Bruce Anthony

And handle things a certain way the fear that they are telling these people they don’t take

away all your guns. You’re gonna be left to defend yourself with nothing and oh by the

way, there’s an invasion coming at the border black people are getting uppity.

24:21.50 J. Aundrea

Correct.

24:30.85 J. Aundrea

Next.

24:40.45 J. Aundrea

Um, you’re you’re becoming Irrelevant you’re becoming obsolete not safe.

24:40.51 Bruce Anthony

You’re not safe. That’s what they’re telling these people What what? they’re That’s what

they’re telling these people so when you look at it from that prism and you’re and you’re

in an area where in a lot of where everybody kind of looks like you.

24:56.42 J. Aundrea

Yeah.

25:00.12 Bruce Anthony

Media what I mean by the media is not so leading news organizations but television and things

of that nature shape how you view other individuals so you watch Tv and the criminal and the bad

guy is always person of color you being programmed.

25:07.45 J. Aundrea

No.

25:17.90 Bruce Anthony

To be fearful of that person and who are you not being programmed to be fearful of that

person that looks like you That’s got more money than you That’s got their hand in your

back pocket whispering in your ear pointing their finger ahead saying that’s enemy not

me I’m on your side. So yes I can understand why the the fall victim.

25:30.36 J. Aundrea

Move.

25:36.54 J. Aundrea

Yeah.

25:36.87 Bruce Anthony

To it I mean you know rich rich white men in this country have always been the best

peps. They’ve always been the best at hypnotizing the people and making them say hey yeah I

should follow you.

25:46.44 J. Aundrea

10 x.

25:51.98 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah.

25:54.15 Bruce Anthony

All the while they’re exploiting them. So yeah and I mean I get I get why? why people

do that Then you got to be you got to be enlightened. What’s another word for enlightened woke.

26:06.54 J. Aundrea

Woke and it was funny. They ah this is a little off top of about be quick. They did an interview

with Erika Badou who they said coin the phrase woke in 2008 in a song. Um, which is actually

true and um. They played a clip of I want to say as Ron Desantis and his attack on woke

culture and then when it stopped. She’s like I think he met black. Yeah that’s all it is

attack on blackness.

26:33.69 Bruce Anthony

Yeah, that’s all it is look to end this off just want to pray for them babies all those

kids that that saw that they are forever traumatized and changed.

26:40.47 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah.

26:47.27 J. Aundrea

And changed.

26:51.71 Bruce Anthony

Because of what they saw and what they experienced that day. Maybe we should care about the kids

a little bit more.

26:56.97 J. Aundrea

We just don’t though.

27:06.88 Bruce Anthony

Speaking to the kids and not caring about them.

27:11.87 J. Aundrea

Boy We really really fail children in this country but go ahead. Thank you this month.

27:17.50 Bruce Anthony

I sent you I sent you a clip I sent you I sent you a clip about North Dakota North Dakota

Congressman and and and you know what.

27:28.52 J. Aundrea

Is North Dakota yes Yes,

27:37.20 Bruce Anthony

Um, just go ahead and play the clip for y’all this is from a more perfect us it’ a Twitter

account. It’s a clip from a congressional a state congressional meeting about school

lunches. And giving kids school lunches. Ah let me play this for you guys I’m messing

up I’m had to edit all this out. Damn it hold on.

28:18.00 Bruce Anthony

Um, we talk about personal responsibility as one of the major principles that the republican

party stands on yes I can understand kids going hungry but is that really the problem.

Of the school district is that the problem of the state of North Dakota is really the

problem of parents being negligent with their kids if their kids are choosing to eat in

the first place which is entirely the problem that could be existing here I don’t believe

that it is our responsibility. To carry on a program in excess of what the federal government

already does where does it stop. We talk about personal responsibility. Okay, that was a

republican personal responsibility is.

29:03.71 J. Aundrea

So that’s senator mike will be will bema senator mike will bema I think that’s how you pronounce

it. He’s a republican from Valley City in North Dakota um boy oh boy.

29:16.91 Bruce Anthony

So we’re not protecting the kids from being shot in school and we’re not gonna feed them

because I mean I guess they don’t even want to eat anyway, I mean I guess babies Ai n’t

hungry and and just to be clear. This is this this wants to end.

29:21.63 J. Aundrea

And.

29:29.76 J. Aundrea

So so.

29:36.63 Bruce Anthony

A free lunch program Free breakfast and lunch program for the kids ah because in his opinion

the parents are just negligent.

29:47.20 J. Aundrea

So okay, so the federal government already has a program in place to provide free lunches

for anyone who has one hundred and thirty percent but um.

29:57.76 Bruce Anthony

Below the poverty line.

30:00.84 J. Aundrea

Below the poverty making one hundred and thirty percent of the federal poverty line. So not

just like if the poverty line I think is like 32100 and 30% of that. Um, what this bill

is house Bill. Ah 1491 with this bill would have done. Was pay allocate state funds to

pay for school lunches for people, 200% of the federal poverty line so it would fill

in a gap for the people who were between one hundred and thirty percent to 200% um mind

you. Minimum wage in North Dakota is still $7 and twenty five cent it has remained stagnant

for the last few decades. Um, there are I don’t know the statistics I didn’t get a chance

to look it up about the number of people in North Dakota below the poverty line but it’s

enough that they. Thought that this this ah percentage above what the federal government

already provides would be worth it. So the original bill which was proposed obviously

by a democrat in in. Obviously.

31:12.99 Bruce Anthony

I Mean obviously.

31:17.50 J. Aundrea

Um, was set to allocate 90000000 the bill got absolutely gutted um to where it was six

million over two years it were from 90000000 to 6000000 and they still couldn’t pass. It.

It didn’t pass by 1 vote. Was struck down 23 to 24? Um, and I think.

31:42.64 Bruce Anthony

So let’s let’s do the math on that I don’t know how many people are in North Dakota I’m

gonna assume I mean already I did look it up. It’s way way smaller than even Dc I think

they’re in like four hundred maybe five hundred thousand people in north of.

31:55.10 J. Aundrea

Who Yeah, it’s not a lot of people. There’s not.

32:01.86 Bruce Anthony

It’s not a lot of people but out of that. Let’s just say it’s 500000 out of that 57

people had the deciding vote on and I’m going to say the poverty line in North Dakota is

pretty high.

32:17.80 J. Aundrea

I mean.

32:20.25 Bruce Anthony

They’re the ones that chose that these people wouldn’t be able to feed their kids at school.

32:30.32 J. Aundrea

There are um, just under 800000 people and yeah

32:34.60 Bruce Anthony

Um, it’s more than I thought I thought that would be north and South Dakota combined but

this isn’t the only state. This is also happening in Idaho.

32:38.60 J. Aundrea

Yeah, no South Dakota has all.

32:49.27 Bruce Anthony

Where a person or what a congressman said hey I don’t even know of any hungry kids I

don’t think that’s a thing and I’m like excuse me like these hunger kids out there. It’s

something else that I don’t remember what state it was but something else that I saw

brought.

32:55.90 J. Aundrea

Ria for.

33:08.40 Bruce Anthony

And I Never even thought about it that they next having feminine hygiene products and

middle schools and high schools that would be supplied by the state saying that it should

be supplied by the family and I never thought about that like that’s an. Added expense for

a female that males have no idea like like we know like like we know that there are feminine

products but we don’t really equate that to adding that to your monthly expense and that

people that are already on a poverty line that are struggling to pay their rent.

33:27.72 J. Aundrea

Yeah, and.

33:37.34 J. Aundrea

Drive.

33:44.50 Bruce Anthony

Utilities don’t have extra money sometimes for hygiene products much less feminine hygiene

products and I remember distinctly there was a girl in high school and she smelt bad. We

knew that she didn’t have a lot of money.

33:50.20 J. Aundrea

Small.

34:03.34 J. Aundrea

And.

34:04.17 Bruce Anthony

But she Smellt bad but it wasn’t like be o it was like a female not taking care of her

smells smell bad and nobody said it to her face. Ah because she had them hands so nobody

was.

34:11.67 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

34:21.31 J. Aundrea

The threat.

34:22.13 Bruce Anthony

Brave enough to say it to her face but behind her back. Everybody has something to say and

now it now god I don’t know how many years has been since I’ve been in high school. It’s

been a long time now that I’m older and this has come to the forefront in my early forty

s I’m like oh wait a minute. Her family was already poor. She didn’t have a lot of clothes

to begin with they probably didn’t have the extra money for feminine hygiene products

and I was talking to a friend of mine that there are you know groups out there just like

you could have. Ah um, we food banks. There are.

34:57.82 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they’re immediately gone. Yeah.

35:01.45 Bruce Anthony

Banks out there for people to get feminine hygiene products. But she said that it’s like

as soon as they come in, they go out. They’re immediately gone and here we have is another

state once again, not protecting the kids not protecting the kids.

35:19.60 J. Aundrea

Not providing for and and and ah providing is protecting um a tiktoker. Her name was

coyote Annie made a really great point. That’s you know he talked about.

35:22.76 Bruce Anthony

We’re providing is protecting right.

35:34.57 J. Aundrea

Is it the state’s responsibility is it the school district’s responsibility. You know

these kids are in school for 8 hours a day five days a week and we all know I don’t think

there is a pediatrician in the world that will not tell you that. Proper nutrition is

fundamental for education. Yes.

35:55.40 Bruce Anthony

I Could tell you as a nutritionist you need food to fuel you for energy to be able to

do anything.

36:03.81 J. Aundrea

Yeah, you literally anything and so even if even if we take him as if that was a good

faith argument which I think we both know it was not.

36:16.65 Bruce Anthony

I think he believes it.

36:20.32 J. Aundrea

I definitely think he believes it because he’s incredibly out of touch with the reality

of the world. Um, or even just his state so I looked it up federal poverty line for a

family of four thirty thousand dollars so for anyone making a family of 4 making 60000

or less. They would be eligible for free lunch in North Dakota had this bill passed meeting.

36:40.55 Bruce Anthony

And if you’re making 60000 with a family of 4 You’re broke.

36:47.60 J. Aundrea

You’re broke you’re broke ah median income in North Dakota sixty 8000 so this would have

helped a lot of people out. It would have alleviated some financial burdens and for

a lot of people. But even if we take him.

36:51.17 Bruce Anthony

A.

37:03.56 J. Aundrea

At Face value and say that this was a good faith argument and that it is really is negligent

parents again. Why are you? okay with allowing the children to be punished for negligent

parents.

37:20.19 Bruce Anthony

Ah, ah, ah bet I bet not even looking up his profile that he’s pro-life I guarantee he’s

pro-life so he wants to control a woman.

37:28.25 J. Aundrea

Um, oh of course he is of course he is.

37:37.77 Bruce Anthony

Being able to have give birth or have an abortion but then absolve himself from any responsibility

after the fact that’s perfect. A lot of these politicians are if if they’re so.

37:40.42 J. Aundrea

And move.

37:47.19 J. Aundrea

Yes, he’s a deadbeat dead.

37:57.60 Bruce Anthony

They they feel like it’s their children and they need to protect these unborn babies.

They are absolutely dead beatat deads these po that’s that’s a good one notion. That’s

it we you should run you should coin that you should coin that get little. You heard

it here first we’re recording this on March thirtieth

37:59.40 J. Aundrea

From here. That Yeah yeah, you heard it here First people. Yeah.

38:15.20 Bruce Anthony

At Eight Forty Two p M it’s the time that is us you you ain’t hurting nowhere else.

38:18.69 J. Aundrea

Yeah, yeah, heard anywhere else there de be dads. Um, the another point he made this was

so so stupid. Um, where where does it stop. That was his question where does it not.

38:28.86 Bruce Anthony

Here here.

38:35.30 J. Aundrea

If we’re providing food for children where and it ends when all children have access

to food. That’s when it ends and if you don’t and if you don’t see that as a.

38:47.26 Bruce Anthony

Supposedly.

38:53.38 J. Aundrea

Fundamental right? Not a privilege access to food is not a privilege. It is a fundamental

right and necessity for a human being to have access to damn food if you don’t see that

as a fundamental right.

39:09.16 Bruce Anthony

Um, food.

39:12.34 J. Aundrea

That needs to be protected by our government. Why the hell are you even in government. Why

are you even a person.

39:22.60 Bruce Anthony

I don’t ah yeah I don’t understand what he thinks government’s role is I guess the rights

for him are ah right to life second amendment rights.

39:28.30 J. Aundrea

If not to protect the rights of the people.

39:40.15 J. Aundrea

It’s not a right to life because I’m dying of hunger.

39:43.66 Bruce Anthony

Now but you got to live though and and it’s your dead beats parents fault.

39:49.60 J. Aundrea

And it and it and you know what I’m a say here you heard it here first I’m not bashing

the people of the dakotas I’m bashing the governments of the dakoas. The dakotaas is

trash because not only does North Dakota have this North Dakota has that terrible ah abortion

ban.

40:07.80 Bruce Anthony

A.

40:09.51 J. Aundrea

That is currently currently been struck down by a judge but you know I’m sure they’re going

to be fighting that South Dakota has now become the second state to ban gender affirming care

for trans youth the first no.

40:21.46 Bruce Anthony

Oh but that’s that’s that’s going all over. We can’t We can’t single out the de code is

on that one.

40:28.65 J. Aundrea

The first state being Utah but I mean tutah this we thought we knew that was gonna be

the first thing Utah sps this is enough said like.

40:30.70 Bruce Anthony

I mean yeah when that where we knew the house company but this Utah. Did you know who gets

the most money from the and Nra Mittens Mitt Romney I think they donate something I read

it was something like 13 close to 14000000.

40:46.70 J. Aundrea

Who.

40:55.30 J. Aundrea

Nice well cream three casual.

41:01.79 Bruce Anthony

A cream y’all look I’m getting depressed I don’t want to talk about how we doing the

kids no more like we don’t protect kids in this country we talk. Ah.

All that’s enough for this depressing stuff. Let’s talk about some fun stuff. Well, that’s

because that’s what’s that’s you know I mean we do current stuff. You know we we talk about

what’s going on in the world and and and and something else is going on in the world as

you just got back from it. Can this.

41:43.98 J. Aundrea

And you you pick some heavy topics and yeah, right.

42:01.14 Bruce Anthony

Be considered a vacation.

Good time is one of my yes we had a good time. You absolutely have to know spanish at least

functional spanish to get around um very few people speak english so Google translate helps.

Um, but it doesn’t always translate.

46:40.96 Bruce Anthony

Google translate wasn’t even helping.

46:49.88 J. Aundrea

To like if they use slang or they use different term I think Google translate is based on

spanish from Spain so not all the things translate quite the same but it was helpful I speak

very very minimal spanish but it was enough.

46:55.30 Bruce Anthony

A.

47:07.73 J. Aundrea

Where I was like helpful at least um, my friend whose birthday it was tried not at all, not

all to speak any Spanish sheet it. She did not put forth any effort.

47:08.60 Bruce Anthony

Yeah.

47:19.38 Bruce Anthony

ah founded by escaped slaves. And they call themselves Africa outside of Africa and it

literally did feel like I had stepped into Africa it was absolutely beautiful. The way

that they maintained. Um so much of that cultural heritage and it was It’s important to them.

They have a school there to learn the traditional dancing um to the food even the traditional

way of preparing the food. Um, they literally take an hour to crush corn by hand for cornmeal
