#DDMS 32: Second amendment, Founding Fathers' Legacy, Gun Rights Debates, and Reflecting on Life's Fragility
Ever wondered how the founding fathers' youthful dynamism shaped the Constitution and how it parallels today's political landscape? Join us in an engaging discussion where we navigate the labyrinth of gun rights, legislative changes, and the often misunderstood stance of law enforcement on Second Amendment freedoms. From the excitement and controversy of hosting a 4th of July parade to the critical examination of bills impacting gun legislation, this episode promises to challenge your perspectives and provide you with a deeper understanding of these pivotal issues.
Have you considered the crucial link between mental health and firearm ownership? In our exploration of the Rahimi case, we underscore the importance of mental stability for responsible gun ownership and the essential role of government intervention to protect vulnerable victims. This conversation also broadens to address societal issues like hate and prejudice, advocating for a more tolerant and understanding society. Through heartfelt personal anecdotes, we bring these abstract issues into sharp focus, highlighting the real-world implications and the human stories behind them.
Finally, we reflect on the preciousness of life through the lens of harrowing experiences as a first responder. The emotional toll of responding to tragic incidents serves as a powerful reminder of the value of cherishing our loved ones. We delve into the ironies and contradictions of societal behaviors and regulations, touching on everything from gender identity debates to economic disparities and social media dynamics. This episode is a heartfelt and comprehensive exploration of some of the most pressing issues of our time, woven with personal insights and critical reflections.

Speaker 2:Good morning everybody. Welcome to the Deputy Dane Morning Show. I appreciate all y'all for being here. We got some stuff to get into. I really don't know what we're going to get into, but we'll get into something. Sit back. Oh, yep, there's the sirens. I think we're all going to be detained. Sit back and enjoy the show. Sit back and enjoy the show. Good morning all you sexy mamma, jammas or people or whatever I'm supposed to say. I don't even know anymore.
Speaker 1:but good, morning to you. Um, this is Debbie Dane coming at you again.
Speaker 2:yeah, it's crazy, crazy times we're in. I know I've said that a lot in this whole podcast. I mean I've had like what 30 something episodes. I've said that a lot in this whole podcast. I mean I have like what 30-something episodes. I've said that a lot, but it really is. It's wild. We've got things going on in the White House. We've got gun bills being passed and all sorts of crazy stuff that if we don't open our eyes, yeah, crazy, just crazy. So, that being said, let's make this a good week.
Speaker 2:We did some stuff for the 4th. I was in a parade, did the parade. After the parade, kind of hung out a little bit, flashing my lights, telling people to slow down. We did a live. There was a lot of fun in the live, a lot of good people in the live, kind of hung out a little bit, flashing my lights, telling people to slow down. We did a live. There was a lot of fun in the live, a lot of good people in the live. But there's always the crybabies in the live and it floors me, it floors me and we'll kind of get into some of that.
Speaker 2:Lately, one of the main things that people bring up in the live. It's not lately, it's all the time. But you have these dudes that are always like. They think, because I work in a government position that I wouldn't stand with the everyday people if something were to happen. If they're ordering me to do outlandish things, I'm not going to do it. My agency wouldn't do it. The sheriff I work for, the new sheriff that's coming in they wouldn't force us to do these things and if they did, I'd be out okay.
Speaker 2:I mean, like some of the stuff that everyone's worried about the whole gun ban and stuff and I always say watch what you're signing in bills and then you'll see how they're slowly taking your gun freedoms away through bills. It's not what they're thinking, that the sheriff's office is coming door to door, kicking in the door and taking all your guns. That's not what it's going to be. Because the majority of us are Second Amendment advocates. We love the Second Amendment. A lot of us have a lot of pew-pews that we go play with on the weekends and the days that we're off I said weekends, like we have weekends off but a lot of us have a love for firearms. So the fact that people lose their ever-living fucking mind about how, what are you gonna do when the sheriff tells you to come, uh, kick in my door. You're gonna come, kick it in. I know you are Sorry, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty hyper today.
Speaker 2:It's been a hyper week for me. So you get this stuff. So a lot of my rebuttal to them is I say pay attention to the bills that you are signing and that you are agreeing or voting on. Pay attention to those bills, because that is exactly where our issues are going to come from. Is those bills?
Speaker 2:And then one dude was on a big battle with me saying that that's outlandish Bills are not where it gets to happen. There's no bills that pass it. Does nobody remember the bill that was just passed in the last couple years where there's certain states that can't have a magazine higher than shit? What does that count? I mean it's, it's, it's. I wish I had like one of those little secretaries like joe rogan has, um, high capacity magazines Hell, I don't even know. But there's Shit. I don't know. But they were trying to pass that. I don't know if it ever did.
Speaker 2:I know California's got some outlandish laws. California just passed a new law that is pretty along the lines of what we're talking about In this law, which is AB 28,. It's a firearms tax. It says it imposes 11% tax on firearms and ammunition sales to fund gun violence prevention and school safety programs. California is the first state to enact such a law. So my thing is this we're already paying taxes more than any of us want to pay and everybody automatically thinks this goes to law enforcement and the fire department and blah, blah, blah. It does not. Some does.
Speaker 2:In my area a lot of us get paid off sales tax and the sales tax we get paid off of was voted by the citizens in the county to implement like a half-penny sales tax. I don't know exactly how much it was, but the sales tax goes up by this much and it goes to schools and it goes to the county and the first responders and stuff. So when I say that like there always people come in and they're all, they're always like well, you get paid by my taxes, well, you don't live in my county, so that's a. That is a lie. Um, a lot of my agency is paid off that sales tax and that is what gave us the ability to have as many deputies as we have. If we didn't have that, we would not have very many deputies. So again, that sales tax that's in the county. If you live in Vermont, I don't get any money from you in that aspect for sales tax that's in my county, unless you came here from Vermont and then did it Either way. I don't know. I don't know. It's pretty ridiculous to me. But then you're going to implement this 11% tax and you all know that it's not going to go to what they're saying it's going to go to. It's going to go to whatever they need money for. In California I'd say probably water, some aspect of water, but that's a prime example. Right there, right there, they passed it saying they're going to charge that.
Speaker 2:Now a lot of you might be saying, well, they're not banning guns. No, they are not, but they're finding ways to nickel and dime us so that way we can't have the firearms that we are legally allowed to have. So there's things like that that are popping up and it's just going to keep popping up. It's just going to keep happening. So I told you we'll kind of break down the amendments, because you have all these people that want to know about the amendments in my lives and stuff and think I don't know which one. I got a computer, so it's not really going to matter. I got it right here. But either way, the Second Amendment okay, we all know what it means. You can have grizzly bear arms, okay. So the second movement, a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. So what is that saying? That is saying that a well-regulated militia could be really anybody. I mean, you see these dudes as doomsday preppers and stuff, but what it's saying is that you have the ability to have firearms. There are some countries you can't have firearms because they don't want you to overthrow the government. Now, when our forefathers, which it it, did you. This is. This is going to be a crazy thing here. Um, I don't want to like misspeak, but this is nuts. Let's see, this is crazy.
Speaker 2:We all think about the founding fathers of this country and then the Declaration of Independence and all that. What we don't think about is do you know how old these founding fathers of our country were? Think about it. How old do you think they were? I'll give you a second. And a lot of people don't even know exactly who the founding fathers were.
Speaker 2:So we'll start with the youngest to the oldest. James Monroe, when he became a founding father, did everything. Was 18 years old. Aaron Burr 20 years old. Alexander Hamilton 21. James Madison 25. We all know a few of these names Thomas Jefferson, 33. John Adams 40. Paul Revere the British are coming, 33. John Adams 40. Paul Revere the British are coming, 41. And George Washington.
Speaker 2:We all think about George Washington. It's kind of crazy because even growing up I never really realized how old they were during the Declaration of Independence and signing everything. I always assumed that they were older and that they knew their shit. George Washington was 44 years old. We have a president that's almost twice that fucking age right now, um, in our office. That's jesus christ, it's bad. It's bad, we'll get that later, but that's the age of our founding fathers, when they came up with all these amendments and they came up with the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, and they did everything as the founding fathers of the United States of America. And then what they did is they came up with ways for the people to be in charge of the country, and it seems our government has forgot a lot of that.
Speaker 2:And I guess people assume, because I'm a cop, that I side with the government. I can't stand the government as much as everybody else can't stand the government. Um, a lot of the stuff that we're spending money on makes no fucking sense to me. A lot of the stuff that we're spending money on makes no fucking sense to me. A lot of the stuff that we're doing makes no fucking sense to me. I'm taxed an outrageous amount, just like everybody is, and for some reason people come at me because I'm doing TikTok and stuff, saying I'm wasting their money. I love the military, have nothing but love and respect for any man and woman that would step up and fight for our country. But do you know how much goes to those men and women sitting around? And don't even get me started about the fire department. I've been down that road. You know how many hours my money is spent for dudes sitting there just in case something happens?
Speaker 2:But if we don't have these men and women, or trees or wolves, whatever the fuck you identify as nowadays, if we don't have these people, fuck. You can't even say people anymore. You know what? Fuck it, fuck it all. If we don't have these men and women to have these positions, when shit hits the fan it gets bad because we don't have people to come and it just it kills me. We're automatically side with the government is what people think. It's wild.
Speaker 2:I can't stand it either. I can't stand the amount of money that we are sending everywhere else when we have people hurting. Here we have men and women that stepped up and fought for our country and they are not getting treated fairly. But yet we'll send money to countries just to help them, and a little bit here and a little bit there, and then we fucking found out we sent money to the ammo and guns and everything to the wrong people. So then we send money, ammo and guns to the other people and now their whole war is supported by us. Their whole war is us. We gave them the ability to fight that way, and who's paying for that? We gave them the ability to fight that way, and who's paying for that? But yet we're going to worry about $36,000 for a deputy in the middle of rural America. But that is what it is.
Speaker 2:So these Bill of Rights, these amendments, were sitting there. They were put in place so that way we all can take care of ourselves and take care of our country. So the Second Amendment is a big one. It's a big one that we still fight. We still fight with all these people that are for gun control and gun control this and gun control that, and a lot of them. It's mild. It's wild to me that a lot of them don't understand firearms or anything about firearms, the way that they act like they do in all these damn interviews and stuff, and it's freaking crazy to me. But with this one the Second Amendment, that these forefathers, no matter how young or old they were, wise beyond we could ever imagine, they put stuff in here that we still to this day, from 1775, 1776, when they really went everything in, and we are now still living by these amendments of these men that were most of them younger than me. How awesome is that these men put this stuff in and but yet we still have the government now trying to push our boundaries with it. There's a whole agency out there, three-liter agency, that pushes the boundaries. Might start with an A and end with an F.
Speaker 2:I don't know what the middle T is, I don't know what it is, but right there, that's our gun. Right, we have the right to have guns. No point. A lot of the argument that I see is that people say it's for well, it's for hunting. That's what guns are for. It doesn't. It does not. It doesn't say that. It is saying that we are. It's a necessary freedom that we have for the security of a free state, meaning the security of our country being free, and if the government shall push, we have the ability to say back the fuck off. It doesn't say a well-regulated militia of hunters to go out there and gather whatever kind of meats they need for their family during the winter. It doesn't say any of that. People jump to whatever they want to believe just to fit their narrative and it goes in so many ways. But there you go. Second Amendment right there we have the right to our firearms.
Speaker 2:I showed one right now with a tax Again. I know you could argue that that tax in California has nothing to do with me. It doesn't. But if you read what it says, even in the headline, it says California is the first state to enact such a law. What does that mean? That means that other liberal states are probably going to jump on board and other states are going to feel pressured into doing it and then we're paying more in taxes on top of everything else and they're already controlling it more than ever because the actions of some, a few bad actors.
Speaker 2:Now, just because you make it illegal doesn't mean the criminal stops A lot of the guns that are obtained or illegally obtained are stolen from their family member. So it's just crazy to me that we sit here and we fight this whole nonsense, yeah, and then you have people that want to sit here and argue, but then they don't even. They don't even I don't know. It's just crazy to me. They sit here and they go to my lives and they start arguing with me about blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and they don't even know what they're arguing for. They don't even know their side of the argument before even coming at me. Don't come at me, you don't even know your side. That's crazy to me, just fucking crazy. But there's a bunch of them that are really out there of challenging um, the second amendment you can break down, one which was mcdonald versus city of chicago. Pretty much that was 2010.
Speaker 2:A 76 year old man pretty much said that that the city is violating his rights by not letting him have a handgun for defense. He ends up taking it to court. They pass it up to appeals. Appeals pass to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision in favor of McDonald, holding that the Second Amendment, right to bear arms, is applicable to state and local government through the 14th Amendment's due process clause. So, that being said, he argued that Chicago is holding back from them keeping firearms and pistols and such because of the strict gun control laws they have in Chicago. And he said, well, hold on, through the 14th Amendment, there's a due process in there. That gives it to the states. The state says, nope, we can do this. They say no under the 14th Amendment, which would give due process. It gives the amendments. Amendments are originally for the federal. It pretty much knocks it down to the state. And he says that, due to the Second Amendment, through the 14th Amendment, I have the right to carry a pistol. Supreme Court says you do, you are correct. Now there's another one that was in 2024, and this is kind of a.
Speaker 2:So I get asked a lot of time what I think about felons with firearms and there's a hit or miss. I think if you have a violent history, I don't think you should have a firearm. I know it's going to piss a lot of people off, but under the Second Amendment it says they should be able to. If we can trust them to be out in the public, why can't we trust them with a firearm If we can trust them to be out in the public. Why can't we trust them with a firearm?
Speaker 2:Now, do I think someone that has nothing involved with firearms or anything violent like you have a history of tax evasion or you have a history of fraud or a history of drugs not selling, not doing, but keeping a high amount for yourself no firearms ever involved? Do I think that they should have the right? I Do. I think that they should have the right I do. I think that they should have the right. But it also comes down to are you stable? Same thing that I think there does need to be a way to control the instability of people, if that makes sense. You know there's a lot of people that are not mentally stable and they're allowed to get firearms. Do I think that's right?
Speaker 2:No, so a lot of the time we get a thing for a protective order on a domestic violence situation, meaning a husband or a wife has done something so much to the victim that the court says listen, you can't talk to them, you can't text them, you can't do anything and you're ordered to give up your firearms. Now some people argue with that. Now, I still think there's stipulations there and this is my personal opinion. Now the law says no. No, the judge says take the firearms. Sorry, now, I think that there are some stipulations. Sorry, now, I think that there are some stipulations, but protective orders are pretty cut and dry. You know you've done something. This person has a fear in their life. So you go back to United States versus Rahimi I don't even know, I think that's who that is. It was over a domestic violence situation, so this one's kind of all over the place. Let's see here.
Speaker 2:So he got a restraining order by the state of texas on february 5th 2020. The order barred him from engaging in certain harassment behaviors. This one time he can't talk to him, can't talk to the girl, can't talk to child, can't do that, and he cannot own a firearm. So this protective order came up after he assaulted his girlfriend in a parking lot during an argument, noticing that a bystander had witnessed the altercation. He fired a gun at the witness. Despite having a pro, pretty much not being able to have prohibition to having firearms. He's not supposed to be with his girlfriend, he's not Pretty much. He was having a domestic violence situation and fired at a person that witnessed it. Now he is taking it saying that that's violating a Second Amendment To my opinion, you are now trying to kill a witness with a firearm. Okay, I'm sorry, the Second Amendment, in my opinion, only goes so far. That's just my opinion. I'm not a people make a lot more money making a decision, but that was 2019, 2020.
Speaker 2:Now, between 2020 and 2021, rahimi took part in five shootings. First, he shot a man who purchased drugs from him after he spoke disrespectful to him. Then he fired into a man's house with an AR-15. The second the day after the prior shooting, rahimi was involved in a traffic collision and fired at the other driver. Rahimi was involved in a traffic collision and fired at the other driver. Following this, he fled the scene of a crash, returned, fired more shots at the driver, then fled again. Third, three days after that shooting, rahimi fired a gun into the air while in the presence of a child. Fourth, some weeks after the prior incident, a truck on the highway flashed its headlights at Rahimi when he sped past the truck. Pretty much he gets past the truck and shoots at the truck. Then, a fifth time, he shoots in the air at a fast food restaurant after his friend's credit card was declined.
Speaker 2:So you have a history of he's obviously not mentally stable or responsible enough to have a firearm. Okay, the whole history of this feller says he's a bad dude. I don't think he should have a gun Now. I didn't read into it. If he what they desire him in, let's see. Hold on, let me read in this and I'll be right back.
Speaker 2:Okay, so pretty much the supreme court says no. The second amendment doesn't cover crazy assholes. So it is so pretty much. The nation's historic traditions demonstrate the right to bear arms is not an unqualified license that must leave vulnerable family members to live in fear. So what that's saying is the government has to protect this victim and other victims. You could be a vulnerable victim and be the hardest badass dude in the world. You could be the hardest badass dude in the world, walking down, getting Dippin' Dots at a shopping center and get shot by a stray bullet of some ass clown because his car got declined and you were a vulnerable victim. Does that mean that you couldn't defend yourself or anything? No, it just means you didn't have the ability to defend yourself, so you're vulnerable. Now it is the government to protect you by taking people that can't control their anger and fire upon people randomly just because their day's not going the way they want it to go. He has a history of domestic violence, a whole bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2:So do I think the Second Amendment does get technically jumped on a little bit? Yeah, do I think that it deserves to? Yeah, I'm sorry, I think you have to be mentally stable to own a firearm. I've learned that I'm not the only crazy person. We're all crazy. We all have intrusive thoughts. We all do. But we learn to control intrusive thoughts and we learn through morals and beliefs and everything that we know what intrusive thoughts are and when we should or shouldn't act. Now, some people don't have that ability, so they just lose their shit. You're carrying a pistol with you, your credit card gets declined. You look like an idiot. A lot of us are like, oh fuck, this is embarrassing. Homeboy pulls out the gat and starts just bow, bow, bow, bow. That's not acceptable. Homeboy pulls out the gat and starts just, that's not acceptable. That is not a mentally stable, sound person that should have a firearm, in my opinion. Again, this is all my opinion. Okay, some people are going to like it, some people are going to hate it.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of libertarians that hate me. I kind of agree with a lot of the stuff the libertarians say they hate me because I'm a cop. I don't know, I don't go one way or the other. I think there's things about democrats I like. There's things about republicans I like. There's things about independents I like. There's things I like about libertarians, very far liberals. There's not a whole lot except and we even say back in the day, they seem to be like happier and live a better life. Now they're in everybody's fucking business. They're a bunch of Karens. I can't do that. If they were happy, that's cool. You know, people want to spread so much fucking hate for no reason. You know, like straight people hating gay dudes, this hating that, this hating that.
Speaker 2:I'm friends with a few gay people that I've met through TikTok and stuff. One of them I watch. He's a photographer. Okay, am I gay? No, do I have any desire to be with a man? No, but I don't hate on somebody, but I watch this man's life and this man is living a life of just amazingness. He's happy all the time. He's going to places that I wish I could go, and he's happy all the time. He's going to places that I wish I could go and he's doing what he wants to do. But people hate him just because he's gay. What does that matter? Why does that bother you? If you don't like him, don't follow him, don't go hang out with him. No point is he hit it on like hit it. There's no point that they hit it on me. Even I think I'm a piece of ass. There's no point that he's hit on me or done anything like that. We've had just like talks through here and I'm like, hey, man, you're living life, I fucking love it and that's awesome to me. I think that's fantastic.
Speaker 2:But there are too many people want to be in other people's business and then you have people over here that don't want you in their business but yet they're in somebody else's business. It's wild to me, which I guess that's kind of what my job is. I mean, I kind of walk in contradiction. My job is to get in your business and go into places that I'd rather not go. People think I want to go search your nasty cockroach dog, shit-filled house, but I don't. I'm going to do it to find the clues and evidence of the crime that I'm trying to get you on, but it just, I don't know, just kills me. Be a good person, be a good person, be a good human being, no matter what the other person's. I mean, leave them alone, don't fuck with somebody, because you never know when you're going to fuck with the wrong one and that dude's going to fuck with you back and it's going to be a bad day, you know. Just be you, let them be them and we're good. So there we go.
Speaker 2:We went through the second amendment, broke down the second amendment a little bit. Um, I think it did pretty good, just kind of went through and we showed a couple things. There's a whole hell of a lot of cases on second amendment. A whole lot. There's just a shit ton because the second amendment is being challenged every day, atf is being challenged every day, atf is doing it every day and then it's all a money grab. That's all it is. It's a money grab.
Speaker 2:What's the difference between me having a brace and me having a stock? Be for real. The brace that we all know with the Velcro, that's a fucking stock. I like it, I have one, but at the same time it's a fucking stock. But they let it go and now they're like, ooh, we could have made money on this. I think it's a bag of dicks. I think it is.
Speaker 2:I think we shouldn't have to pay ATF licensing just to say we have something to give them more money. We're paying a tax stamp on something that we've already paid taxes on and that we already bought, and just for us to own it and put it together, we have to pay more taxes. It's crazy. It's like how now PayPal and all them are starting to tax on taxed money. Already, if I send my friend money, susie, I send Susie money and then they want to tax that on top of me already being taxed on it. Now she's taxed on it and it's taxed again. It's crazy. To me, it's all. It's just a money grab, but yet we're trillions of dollars in debt because we send money elsewhere to help everybody else, but we have so many people starving here.
Speaker 2:It just. There's just so many things that floor me. It just kills me. It just it just. I don't. I don't even understand. I don don't understand. Like today, I'm scrolling through Facebook. Facebook has now started throwing a bunch of just random shit my way Some of it. I get entertained, I watch it, I'm like what is going on. But they sent one to me. It's a trans chick dude thing. Whatever. I don't like you do you. But then they start.
Speaker 2:They said they identified as a wolf. What Like? First of all, being trans and changing whatever you do you, whatever makes you happy. But now, like you're a wolf and like you knew you were a wolf after watching a cartoon anime, now you knew you were a wolf. I'm part wolf. Shut up Mowgli Good Lord, crazy, crazy times. Knew you were a wolf, I'm part wolf. Shut up Moe Willie, just good lord. Crazy, crazy times. Crazy, crazy times. That's why I say we're in crazy times, because we are. So then again, I don't know, just crazy People identifying as wolves and then doing outlandish things.
Speaker 2:And then, like I love watching all these people like debate with people about cisgendered and pan gender, it's whatever. You want to be dude, it's fine, but don't get mad at somebody that they misgender you on accident, like if you tell them they keep doing it, fine, whatever, I don't know, I don't know, it's crazy, just just crazy. It's a crazy time we're living. You got a president that says just outlandish things. You got a previous president that says outlandish things and then you got men that compete in women's sports and are kicking ass in women's sports.
Speaker 2:Women have fought so hard to be treated fairly just for to be shit on by a man beating them in their sport, and then all these people are like it's, it's progressive. You know, you just gotta. You know, this beautiful thing, that he has now found his inner beauty, became a lady and now it's kicking ass where he used to suck against males. But he's just kicking ass and taking names. I mean, he took a different name when he changed his name, so you might as well just take some more names. You know, you just, you just never know. It's crazy, crazy. And then you have like women now wearing the women, swimmers wearing a thing that says like not a penis right on their vagina, but then I'm sure they'll get mad. If you look, it's a crazy, crazy time. Women selling their bodies, making more money than anybody could ever imagine.
Speaker 1:And I.
Speaker 2:I'm, whatever you do it and you're doing great, selling butthole pictures.
Speaker 2:Those butthole pictures, lady, get it crazy, crazy. And then now these women want to be equal and stuff. Now I've got a question here. I'm all about equal rights. I'm all about women being the same as a man. I'm all about the woman making more than the man because the majority of the time, they're a lot smarter than our dumbasses.
Speaker 2:There's some other things I am curious about, like why do I have to get up in the middle of the night to go walk down the hallway with a golf club or a baseball bat? Wondering to God if I'm going to today's the day, praying, like, okay, if today's the day, god, please say I've done well with everything and I've been doing good. And or like a zombie apocalypse. I would say like if we're walking in the woods and I have to fight a bear but how many times has that happened that someone had to fight a bear? Now, those people that do fight bears, okay, I get it, that's crazy, but like you can't be. Like well, baby, just don't know, if we're ever walking and a bear comes up, I'll protect you. I mean, that's crazy, can't really use that. You do the dishes, because if a bear pops up, I've got you, baby, I got you, I'll take care of that bear's ass. Just, I don't know. Crazy, crazy, crazy. I think it's just going to get worse before it gets better. I mean, it's just a point that, like I don't know, though, there's a lot of people that are getting fed up. There's kids in school getting fed up. There's kids that don't even know what it was like before shit was woke, and they're like I don't think this is what life is about. But uh, I'm gonna have to say fuck you and your kitty litter box, I'm done with that shit. No, thank you. I'll tell you that I don't know.
Speaker 2:Something's going on also in the ocean. Okay, we're doing some conspiracy theory shit, but something is going on the ocean that we're pushing all these sharks to shore. You know, I used to go swimming at the beach and I used to swim with sharks and I enjoyed it. I loved it. I wanted to be a marine biologist. That's always my biggest goal. I wanted to do it, didn't do it, obviously, um, but right now, no, I'm good dude there's something that's getting these sharks aggravated in the ocean, and probably a lot of it's our own fucking doing, a lot of our own pollution, overfishing, everything. I mean the amount of stuff we pull out of the ocean like we think there's not going to be a consequence. Well, I think we're starting to see some consequences.
Speaker 2:You know, I watched one in South Padre that this lady was being drug up and her calf was missing. Man, man, man, I mean it'd be a cool war story later. But like, yeah, fought a bull shark, I won, like the dude in Jaws, went in the water Just doing good, flashing around. I even had my what's that damn seltzer? Oh, I even had my white claw. It was a mango white claw. And there I was with my mango white claw.
Speaker 2:We're all singing and having a good time. Yo-ho, yo-ho. I love swimming in the ocean. The shark came up, took my fucking calf Now I don't have a calf. Ugh, boy, that voice hurts. And that voice went to like half hispanic or something. I don't know what that was, but 72 people went in the water. 73 people came out. Like what dude? 72 people went in the water. You had pulled an extra one up. What the shark, bring you somebody. What the fuck boy? I'd be living that up, though. I mean it would suck ass, don't get wrong, but I'd be. I'd be living that up later on.
Speaker 2:Grandkids are like grandpappy, tell me what happened that? Well, baby, there I was just swimming away. Now, me, I'd be having like some little floaters on. But I'm not gonna tell them that. I think I'm like well, I was swimming with my floaters on and I was having such a good time. We were talking about everything we're going to do go shopping and stuff and then the shark came up and it just got me. I'm like well, grandbaby, let me tell you what grandpappy did, for there I was swimming, swimming in the ocean. Yes, it's dangerous, but I live a life of danger.
Speaker 2:All of a sudden, I see a child getting swept out to sea, got a hold of one of them rip currents, baby, we're in a time where you don't go swimming in the ocean anymore, so you don't know where the rip current is. But if you got grabbed by a rip current, you might as well kiss your ass goodbye, because it's over until Tuesday. Yes, today's Monday, but we won't talk about it, but either way, it don't matter. So, yeah, you're being dragged out. I went out there to get them. That little kid was screaming and I said I will save you, my child. I went out there and grabbed the kid and as I was bringing him up to shore, a shock came on and bit me in the calf. The kid started screaming.
Speaker 1:I said, oh little kid, to give you that I'm going to do everything.
Speaker 2:I need to do to take care of you. I'm starting to pass out. Everything is getting a little dark. Sorry, that went on way too long. I don't know. Like I said, I'm fucking hyper. I've been all over the place, man. I've been on this and on that. Who knows? You never know. Guys, it's been a great week. I appreciate all the love and support I've got from everybody. We can kind of finish it up here.
Speaker 2:Fourth of July I was out working. I worked a total of I don't even know like 18 hours. I'm sitting there and we get a rollover wreck call. I'm heading that way and I hear that there's a two-year-old child in the rollover wreck. I knew I was going to beat the boo-boo bus there. One of the deputies beat me there. I got there and he had the dad and the child in his car and I get up to the window and the kid's screaming and crying and I look. Luckily, by the grace of God, whatever you believe in miracle, whether you believe in religion or anything, that baby's still here, that dad's still here.
Speaker 2:The amount of injuries just sustained from the wreck that they had was mind-blowing. They had a bunch of scratches and cuts and bleeding. But to see the fear in that baby's eyes. She's just a little bit older than my baby, but my baby's about the same size. But just to see her crying and couldn't get it under control, it broke me. I don't know Something hit me.
Speaker 2:Something hit me hard. It hit me real hard. I cried on the way home. I don't even know why. My kid's fine, that kid's going to be fine. But I had the fear that maybe there was a turn of bleeding or something. I don't think there was, but just the fear of it. Just to see that baby crying, all I pictured was my baby crying and I was like, oh, I got to get home. I got to get home and I got to get love on my baby because, I don't know, it just hits you and it hits you at random times. That one was pretty rough. I know a lot of people always want to ask me or I get it all the time well, what's the worst thing you've seen? And all that. And I've seen a lot, I've dealt with a lot and I'll talk about it on here, but I'm not going to publicly go just on TikTok and tell everybody If you? Um, my wife and I, after we got married, we moved to alabama. This is another one that hit me hard.
Speaker 1:We had an amazing wedding.
Speaker 2:It was a beautiful wedding we got married uh, obviously, the wedding dumbass. We moved to the beach and uh, got on the fire department there. Um, for a little while there I was doing volunteer firefighting while I was kind of unemployed, finishing my school, and my wife was working and I was working on getting a job. Well, when I didn't have a job I was able to respond to everything all day, every day. And uh, I remember getting called out to head on collision on the highway that takes you to the beach, cause that's the way that everybody goes. I get there, um, I'm first, first, first responder on scene, and I get there and there's a woman not moving in the car. I walk up to the window and I see she's got a very apparent, very obvious really is what I should say very, very obvious um deformation her head's deformed bit, very, very, very obvious. Um, I see she's not moving so I go check on the other car. I go over that car, uh, the driver's screaming and crying. At the time I didn't know. I opened the door and, uh, his knee fell out and his knee was exposed like no other. We got end up getting helicopter form and stuff.
Speaker 2:But come to find out, lady was just driving home from work. An ass clown in that car was a local turd that did a lot of dope. He is high as a kite, having a good old time, went into into her lane, hit her head on, killed her instantly. The thing that got me about that was it took hours for us to cut her out of the car Hours. By the time we finally got her out of the car she was mush Her bones, every bone was broken, everything. It was bad. It was a bad deal. So spending hours watching this lady, trying to get this lady out of this car. We knew she was deceased, but you still, we still do. That person deserves to be treated with dignity. This poor woman was heading home from work, nothing more than that.
Speaker 2:And that's when I realized that it could be my wife one day, my brand new wife I just married. I plan on spending the rest of my life with, and it could be her. She could be heading home from work and some fucking ass clown who loves dope and doing stupid shit more than anything kills her instantly and he lives. And that hit me. It hit me hard. That made me realize that was the first time I really go. Oh fuck, this is real. I've been in the fire industry for 10 years at that point about and I've seen everything, done everything. But you just kind of get in that motions of doing it. But now I had a wife. I didn't have a girlfriend. I had a wife and to me that meant not possessive, but she's mine, I'm hers and it's more than just a girlfriend. I mean, you don't want to lose your girlfriend either, but I didn't realize how much.
Speaker 2:And seeing that baby on the fourth was the same thing. It hit me, just hit me so hard and I was like God it could be anything. This guy he's one of our local dopies, not a bad dude Just got hooked up in the wrong life. Um doesn't have a license, so he's driving out of license. He has taken his daughter to go get fireworks for 4th of July. Um was driving, had a blowout, flip the car, they flipped over a fence. Um, luckily the child was on the passenger side. If she was on the driver's side she would have been smushed. She was completely in her car seat, well restrained. There's so many variables there that that baby could have been gone and it's also the dad shouldn't have been driving in the first place. You kind of feel bad for the dude because the dad, dad wanted to give his daughter best 4th of July. But you also got to wonder is that really what he's doing, or is he going to find a bag of dope? I don't know, I don't, I don't give two shits.
Speaker 2:At that point, the license was the least of my worry to see the fear in that baby's eyes and nothing I could have. Just I just held her hand. She cried, I teared up a little bit, but just to see the fear in that baby's eyes and I realized that could be my baby, we could be doing something just so simple and something could happen. And it just I just cried with that baby. I held her hand, um, I talked to her, but she, she was. You know, she's two year old. Two year old. That just been through.
Speaker 2:She went flying through the air, bleeding and injured. We know how much babies, when they get injured in general, they stub the toe and it's into the world. Well, if I stub my toe, it's into the world, it doesn't matter either. You know how it is. You just got to remember to love the ones that you love and continue to Be there for them Friends, family you never know you never know.
Speaker 2:I knew my dad was getting sick and I knew I was honestly surprised he lived as long as he did. But even when it hit it didn't seem real. Still doesn't seem real. You got to love the ones that you love and let them know you love them, because you never know. Life is a terrible, terrible thing and it's going to end in a second. So, whoo, I'm tearing up thinking about that baby. Good, good lord. Either way, guys, sorry about that, kind of went down a dark path of shark attacks. And now that Guys, please love one another, don't let people get you down. Life is too short to let these assholes that have nothing better to do than get on TikTok and tell you you're not a real cop, because they're a real cop. Oh sorry, it's going down my path.
Speaker 2:Sorry, Don't let people get you down. Obviously, some of it bothers you, but you just learn to deal with it, cope with it and just move on. They're the ones that are that sad with their own existence. Be good to one another For everybody.
