| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Dershow. I am mad. I am angry. I am angry at this 18-year-old who |
| 0:20.0 | was able to buy two guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition and go into a school and slaughter |
| 0:28.0 | 19 children and two teachers. I am furious at the governor of Texas for his press conference |
| 0:36.8 | in which he blamed it on the lack of facilities for mentally ill and mental illness. Let's make |
| 0:44.0 | a few things clear. Number one, there are no more men allele people in the United States than in |
| 0:50.3 | Sweden, Germany, Israel, and Japan. But there are many many many many many many I can go on |
| 0:58.5 | and on many many many many more shootings and killings in the United States than in other countries |
| 1:04.2 | of equal number of mentally ill people. Mental illness is not the cause of these shootings. It's |
| 1:09.4 | the easy availability of guns. If this mentally ill kid, I don't know that he was mentally ill, |
| 1:14.8 | there was no indication he was mentally ill according to the excuses made by the governor of |
| 1:19.6 | Texas and others. He was mentally ill assuming he was mentally ill. If he didn't have easy access |
| 1:24.3 | to guns, maybe he would have stabbed his grandmother. Maybe he would have tried to come to a school |
| 1:28.7 | and stabbed 19 kids. Not easy to do. People can fight back, but you can't fight back against |
| 1:35.1 | an AR-15 or other essentially weapons of mass destruction and mass killings. There are so many |
| 1:42.7 | mass shootings in the United States. I just heard a statistic that this year there have been more |
| 1:46.8 | mass shootings than there are days of the year. That is there's been more more than one per day |
| 1:52.0 | average of mass shootings depending on how you define mass shootings. Obviously we don't have 19 |
| 1:56.8 | every day or 10 every day like in in Buffalo, New York, but we have an enormous enormous number. |
| 2:02.1 | And don't tell me as a constitutional lawyer that the state cannot prevent 18 year olds from |
| 2:11.0 | getting AR-15s from getting other weapons of mass destruction. Don't tell me that it's not true. |
| 2:17.6 | Oh, you can cite a court of appeals decision in the Ninth Circuit. It's dead wrong. Yeah, |
| 2:23.2 | California passed a law saying kids between the ages of 18 and 21 not old enough to go to a bar |
