THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. FOR INSTANCE, RUSSIA IS STILL INVADING UKRAINE, AND IN RESPONSE THE EUROPEAN UNION JUST ANNOUNCED THEY WILL BE BANNING ALMOST ALLER RUSSIAN OIL IMPORTS WHICH WILL TURN RUSSIA'S CURRENCY INTO THE TICK TOCK CRIME FILTER ALL THE TIME. THERE'S ALSO A GROWING OUTBREAK OF MONKEYPOX, A DISEASE KILLING OFF EVERYONE'S N.F.T.s. SO PLEASE, EVERYONE, VACCINATE YOUR MONKEY, REMEMBER. ( LAUGHTER ) AND, BY THE THE WAY, THEY'RE SAYING IT'S SPREAD MOSTLY THROUGH SEX, YEAH. SO AT LEAST NOW WHEN YOU SHOW UP TO THE DOCTOR WITH MONKEYPOX, YOUR DOCTOR CAN BE LIKE, MY MAN... ( LAUGHTER ) OH, AND ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, SOMEONE THREW A CAKE AT THE MONA LISA. YES. WHICH APPARENTLY WAS TO PROTEST CLIMATE CHANGE. ( LAUGHTER ) SOUNDED WEIRD, BUT APPARENTLY MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS ABOUT THE MONA LISA, BUT IF YOU WIDEN OUT ON THAT PICTURE OF HER, SHE'S ACTUALLY DRIVING A HUMMER. NOT COOL. THAT'S WHERE THE PICTURE'S FROM. SO MUCH HAPPENING IN THE WORLD, BUT AMERICA CAN'T FOCUS ON ANY OF THAT STUFF BECAUSE, ONCE AGAIN, AMERICA IS REELING FROM MASS SHOOTINGS, ALL THE WAY FROM BUFFALO, NEW YORK TO UVALDE, TEXAS, PEOPLE ARE ASKING HOW LONG CAN THIS KEEP GOING ON? AND HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS, IN RESPONSE A MAJOR BILL HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED WHICH WOULD BAN THE NEW SALES OF HANDGUNS AND ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO FORCEFULLY BUY BACK ASSAULT RIFLES -- IN CANADA. YEAH, THIS IS COMPLETELY REAL. CANADA SAW WHAT HAPPENED HERE, AND THEY'RE SHUTTING DOWN GUNS THERE. YEAH. AT THIS POINT, AMERICA IS BASICALLY A SCARED STRAIGHT PROGRAM THAT GETS OTHER COUNTRIES ON THE RIGHT PATH. EVER SMELL SOMEONE SO BAD YOU DECIDE YOU NEED TO TAKE A SHOWER? THAT'S THE WAY AMERICA IS WITH GUN LAWS TO OTHER COUNTRIES, THEY'RE LIKE -- SNIFF -- SNIFF, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT GUNS. LA OFFLAUGH LIBERAL AMERICANS ARE OPEN TO COMMON SENSE RESTRICTIONS ON GUNS TO KEEP AMERICANS SAFE. THERE IS STILL A SMALL YET POWERFUL GROUP OF GUN (~BLEEP~) WHO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WITH GUN VIOLENCE IS NOT BECAUSE OF GUNS, NO, IT'S BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING ELSE. >> PART OF THE PROBLEM IS HOW THIS GENERATION OF KIDS EXISTS MOSTLY ONLINE. THEY SEE ACTUAL VIOLENCE AS IS PORTRAYED IN THE MOVIES THEY WATCH, THE MUSIC THEY LISTEN TO AND THE VIDEO GAMES THEY PLAY. WHEN I PLAYED WAR, THE BOYS WERE ALLOWED TO BE BOYS. I SAID TO MY FRIEND, AN DI, BANG, YOU'RE DEAD. BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS WE KNEW IT WAS FAKE. AND AN DIGOT UP AFTERWARDS. AND WE WENT AND JUMPED IN THE FIRE HYDRANT OR WHOEVER HAD A POOL -- >> Trevor: WHAT? FIRST OF ALL, WHY DO I FEEL LIKE AN DI'S FAKE? AND, SECOND OF ALL, WHAT IS THIS LOSER TALKING ABOUT? KIDS KNOW GAMES ARE FAKE, MY MAN. NO ONE IS TURNING OFF "GRAND THEFT AUTO," LIKE, SHIT, I JUST RAN OVER 80 PEDESTRIANS, SHOULD I GET A LAWYER? OH, MY GOD I'M TOO YOUNG FOR JAIL! WHAT AM I GONNA DO? ( LAUGHTER ) THE ARGUMENT THAT VIDEO GAMES CAUSES VIOLENCE FALLS APART WHEN YOU KNOW THE ENTIRE WORLD POPULISTENS TO MUSIC AND PLAYS VIDEO GAMES. NOT LIKE IN SWEDEN SNOOP DOGG IS LIKE RAT, AT THAT TIME, AT THAT TIME, AND I NEVER HESITATE TO PUT A HAT ON A -- CAT. SAME MUSIC, WHY NOT GETTING THE SAME RESULTS? PLEASE, GUN FANATICS DON'T JUST WANT TO PAN VIDEO GAMES AND MUSIC, THEY ALSO WANT TO REPLACE THEM WITH WHAT THEY SAY ARE LOST VALUES. >> THE ONLY SOLUTION IS CHRIST JESUS AND BEING ABLE TO GELT SPIRITUALITY AND PRAYER IN OUR SCHOOLS. TODAY WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE OUR MINIMUMMIALS PARTS RATE FOR CHURCH IS UNDER 30% IN A LOT OF LOCATIONS. THIS IS THE LOWEST CHURCH PAFORTS PAYS WE'VE EVER HAD AS A NATION. AND, SO, IT JUST SHOWS YOU WHY YOU SEE SO MUCH CHAOS IN OUR STREETS. >> Trevor: YEAH, I MEAN, THAT COULD BE ONE SOLUTION, WE NEED TO BRING JESUS INTO OUR SCHOOLS. I DON'T KNOW HOW JESUS WOULD FEEL ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IF I WAS JESUS I WOULD BE, LIKE, YO, FORGET THAT, LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME WITH NAILS, I'M NOT COMING BACK WHEN THERE ARE GUNS, AR-15s, I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON. ( APPLAUSE ) IF YOU THINK GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA IS HIGH BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO CHURCH, WHY DON'T THEY HAVE THE SAME GUN VIOLENCE IN EUROPE BECAUSE THERE NOBODY GOES TO CHURCH. IT'S LIKE A THING THAT'S DONE NOW. IF YOU GO TO CHURCH IN GERMANY, EVEN THE PREACHER WILL BE LIKE, OH! OH, JEEZ, YOU SCARED ME, NO ONE COMES IN HERE ANYMORE, I FORGET THERE WAS A DOOR. MOAMGD, THAT WAS CRAZY. OH... ( LAUGHTER ) GUN LOVERS HAVE BEEN BLAMING THE SAME CAUSES OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR DECADES, ALTHOUGH, THIS TIME, TO THEIR CREDIT, THEY'VE COME UP WITH A NEW THINGS TO BLAME. IT'S NOT THE GUNS, IT'S THE BOOKS. >> WE STOPPED TEACHING VALUES IN SO MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS, NOW WE'RE BEACHING WOKENESS, INDOCTRINATING OUR CHILDREN WITH THINGS LIKE C.R.T. >> Trevor: THAT'S HOW EVIL CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS, AROUND ONLY FOR A YEAR AND ALREADY CAUSED THREE DECADES OF SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. IT'S SO TOUGH, GOES BACK IN TIME, IT'S SO POWERFUL. ( LAUGHTER ) LOOK, MAN, I KNOW YOU GUYS WANT TO BLAME ANYTHING BUT GUNS, BUT IT STILL HAS TO MAKE SENSE. CAN WE AGREE? YOU CAN'T BLAME STUFF YOU'RE ALREADY MAD ATE. THESE GUYS ARE, LIKE, MAYBE THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MANY VIOLENT SHOOTINGS IF MY WIFE WOULD STOP FLIRTING WITH THE LANDSCAPING. IS IT JUST ME? ( LAUGHTER ) THEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A LESSON ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT SHOOTING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WE WANT TOO LONG ON SLAVERY. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IF IT'S NOT RELIGION OR VYINGS, MAYBE IT'S THE SCHOOL'S FAULT. >> ONE OF THE THINGS EVERYONE AGREED IS DON'T HAVE ALL OF THESE UNLOCKED BACK DOORS. HAVE ONE DOOR INTO AND OUT OF THE SCHOOL. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A NATIONAL PUSH TOWARD INSTEAD OF PARENT BUYING THEIR KIDS ALL THESE TOOLS AND TOYS AND GAMES, INVEST IN THE CLASSROOM TO MAKE IT SAFER. THEY HAVE BLANKETS YOU PUT UP ON THE WALL THAT ARE COLORFUL AND BEAUTIFUL BUT THEY ARE'RE BALLISTIC BLANKETS. >> MAN TRAPS, WHICH COULD BE A TRIP WIRE, AND IT TRAPS THE SHOOTER LIKE A RAT. ( LAUGHTER ) >> Trevor: ARE THESE PEOPLE HEARING THEMSELVES? YOU THINK KIDS CAN'T TELL FANTASY FROM REALITY, BUT YOUR SUGGESTION IS HOW ABOUT WE MAKE A SCHOOL WITH STEEL DOORS THAT SLAM AND WINDOWS THAT TURN INTO CONCRETE OR EVEN BETTER WHOLE SCHOOL BECOMES A TRANSFORMER, YEAH, SO THAT WAY WHEN THE SCHOOL SHOOTER COMES, THE WHOLE SCHOOL CAN RUN AWAY FROM IT. ( LAUGHTER ) NOT TO MENTION, HAVE YOU GUYS EVER BEEN IN A SCHOOL? HUH? YOU REALIZE THE FIRE ALARM GETS PULLED AS A PRANK ONCE A WEEK. YOU THINK THE JOCKS AREN'T CONSTANTLY GOING TO TOSS THE IN OTHER WORDS INTO THE MAN TRAP? ( LAUGHTER ) DO YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELVES? AND EVEN IF THOSE IDEAS DON'T WORK, EVEN IF THEY DON'T, THERE'S ONE SOLUTION THAT CONSERVATIVES LOVE TO COME BACK TO TIME AND TIME AGAIN, AND OVER THE WEEKEND IT WAS PROPOSED YET AGAIN BY NONE OTHER THAN DONALD JARHEAD TRUMP. >> WHAT WE NEED NOW IS A TOP TO BOTTOM SECURITY OVERHAUL AT SCHOOLS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND ABOVE ALL FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, EVERY SCHOOL IN AMERICA SHOULD HAVE A POLICE OFFICER OR AN ARMED RESOURCE OFFICER ON DUTY AT ALL TIMES. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Trevor: YEAH. YEAH. YOU KNOW, ALWAYS HEAR PEOPLE SAYING THIS AFTER A SCHOOL SHOOTING, WHAT WE NEED IS ARMED POLICE OFFICERS IN THE SCHOOL. WHAT'S AMAZING ABOUT THE DEBATE THIS TIME IS THEY'RE STILL SAYING IT EVEN THOUGH, IN THE SHOOTING THAT JUST HAPPENED, THERE WAS AN ARMED POLICE OFFICER, AND IT DIDN'T HELP. CLASSIC TRUMP, PROPOSING A SOLUTION AFTER IT ALREADY FAILED. ( LAUGHTER ) I MEAN, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT OF FUN IN THE LIFE GOES AFTER THE TITANIC. NEXT TIME, WE SHOULD JUST RAM THAT ICEBERG REALLY HARD. WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN? WHAT DO YOU THINK, JACK? WHAT DO YOU THINK? ( LAUGHTER ) AND AS WE'VE ALL HEARD BY NOW, THERE WASN'T JUST AN ARMED RESOURCE OFFICER ON THE SCENE, THERE WAS A WHOLE PLATOON OF POLICE OFFICERS WHO RESPONDED TO THE SHOOTING BUT DIDN'T STOP IT WHILE IT WAS STILL GOING ON. I'M WILLING TO GUESS BECAUSE THEY'RE SCARED OF A GUNMAN ARMED WITH AN AR-15. I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES, AS A SOCIETY, DO WE WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE ANYONE CAN LEGALLY BUY WEAPONS THAT THE POLICE ARE SCARED OF? HUH? AND JUST BY THE WAY, FOR ME, IT'S BEEN AMAZING TO SEE HOW SOME PEOPLE LOVE GUNS SO MUCH THAT THEY'VE GONE FROM BLUE LIVES MATTER TO SCREW THESE COPS, IF THEY'RE NOT HERE TO GET SHOT, WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING THEM AROUND, (~BLEEP~) THE POLICE. YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE COP'S LIVES? I WOULD SAY GET RID OF THE AR-15s AND MAKE THE OFFICERS' JOBS MORE SAFE. MAYBE IT'S JUST ME. ( APPLAUSE ) IT'S WHY PEOPLE FLIP, WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT. IT'S CRAZY HOW THE COPS CAN DO ANYTHING, RIGHT? THEY SHOOT PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY HAVE A GUN. AND NOW THEY'RE, LIKE, THEY KNOW IT'S A GUN. THEY'RE, LIKE, WHOA, CAN'T SHOOT THEM. IF IT'S A WALLET, MAYBE. BUT I MEAN -- SO, LOOK, I KNOW AMERICA IS NEVER GOING TO DO WHAT CANADA IS DOING. I DON'T EXPECT THAT. THE GUN CULTURE IN THIS COUNTRY IS TOO FAR ENGRAINED TO TRULY GET RID OF IT. I KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP GUN VIOLENCE ALTOGETHER, I'M NOT NAIVE, BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT, AFTER A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS, AMERICANS COULD AGREE THAT LOSING SOME OF THESE IS WORTH IT TO PREVENT LOSING MORE OF THESE. DON'T GO AWAY BECAUSE AFTER THE
