00:00:03.063 --> 00:00:04.564
We do have an update for you,

00:00:04.585 --> 00:00:05.525
some breaking news that

00:00:05.565 --> 00:00:06.727
we've been following today.

00:00:06.807 --> 00:00:08.048
Sources tell ABC News the

00:00:08.208 --> 00:00:09.189
FBI and Department of

00:00:09.228 --> 00:00:10.089
Homeland Security are

00:00:10.109 --> 00:00:11.752
investigating the cause of

00:00:11.811 --> 00:00:14.153
a massive nationwide cell phone outage.

00:00:14.615 --> 00:00:15.515
Officials are working to

00:00:15.574 --> 00:00:16.716
determine if the service

00:00:16.736 --> 00:00:17.917
disruption is the result of

00:00:17.957 --> 00:00:19.599
a cyber attack, a hack,

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:21.600
or simply a technical malfunction.

00:00:22.282 --> 00:00:24.161
AT&T customers are slowly

00:00:24.202 --> 00:00:25.443
now coming back online

00:00:25.503 --> 00:00:26.562
after thousands of those

00:00:26.582 --> 00:00:27.382
cell phones went down

00:00:27.443 --> 00:00:28.303
earlier this morning.

00:00:28.803 --> 00:00:30.024
The cellular outage affected

00:00:30.044 --> 00:00:30.923
phones all across the

00:00:30.963 --> 00:00:32.103
country with thousands of

00:00:32.204 --> 00:00:33.465
users reporting issues in

00:00:33.524 --> 00:00:35.325
cities including New York, Houston,

00:00:35.344 --> 00:00:36.884
Chicago, and San Francisco.

00:00:36.905 --> 00:00:39.246
AT&T tells ABC News, quote,

00:00:39.286 --> 00:00:40.345
some of our customers are

00:00:40.386 --> 00:00:41.506
experiencing wireless

00:00:41.527 --> 00:00:42.947
service interruptions this morning.

00:00:43.487 --> 00:00:44.448
Our network teams took

00:00:44.487 --> 00:00:45.789
immediate action and so far

00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:46.691
three quarters of our

00:00:46.731 --> 00:00:47.911
network has been restored.

00:00:48.393 --> 00:00:49.334
We're working as quickly as

00:00:49.414 --> 00:00:50.735
possible to restore service

00:00:50.776 --> 00:00:52.036
to remaining customers.

00:00:52.537 --> 00:00:54.020
Verizon and T-Mobile said

00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:55.441
they are not experiencing

00:00:55.561 --> 00:00:56.622
any service disruptions.

00:01:06.174 --> 00:01:07.635
Welcome to the Truggers Lounge.

00:01:07.736 --> 00:01:08.417
I'm DePriest.

00:01:09.378 --> 00:01:10.099
I am Eugene.

00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:12.021
Yeah, okay,

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:13.781
so now I see why my phone

00:01:13.822 --> 00:01:15.623
wasn't working this morning.

00:01:16.245 --> 00:01:16.665
Yeah.

00:01:16.864 --> 00:01:18.546
I was one of the victims this morning,

00:01:18.587 --> 00:01:18.906
too.

00:01:19.628 --> 00:01:21.209
I'm hooked up with AT&T,

00:01:21.269 --> 00:01:23.352
and both my phones were saying SOS.

00:01:24.832 --> 00:01:27.375
But I hadn't even did the update yet.

00:01:27.974 --> 00:01:29.715
And on one of my phones,

00:01:29.736 --> 00:01:31.057
when I did the update,

00:01:31.736 --> 00:01:34.638
then the SOS went off one of them.

00:01:35.179 --> 00:01:36.078
But the other one,

00:01:36.299 --> 00:01:38.040
it took up to like this afternoon,

00:01:38.081 --> 00:01:39.861
probably about two central

00:01:40.662 --> 00:01:42.483
before the SOS came off and

00:01:42.522 --> 00:01:43.743
I was able to make calls

00:01:43.804 --> 00:01:44.963
and receive calls on it.

00:01:45.405 --> 00:01:47.066
So, yeah, I was completely out of sync.

00:01:47.085 --> 00:01:47.346
You know,

00:01:47.365 --> 00:01:48.887
I had to call you on messages

00:01:48.947 --> 00:01:49.367
this morning.

00:01:49.387 --> 00:01:50.507
Yeah, I was on my wife.

00:01:50.628 --> 00:01:51.207
I was working.

00:01:51.688 --> 00:01:51.847
Yeah,

00:01:51.867 --> 00:01:53.090
I was wondering what was going on

00:01:53.129 --> 00:01:53.670
while you called.

00:01:53.709 --> 00:01:55.671
Why is he calling me on the

00:01:55.712 --> 00:01:56.632
messages like that?

00:01:56.772 --> 00:01:57.134
Yeah.

00:01:57.153 --> 00:01:59.656
Yeah, I didn't know what was up with that,

00:01:59.716 --> 00:02:00.096
you know.

00:02:00.417 --> 00:02:02.980
But apparently they was

00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:06.063
talking about it last night on Facebook.

00:02:06.143 --> 00:02:06.823
I missed it.

00:02:08.284 --> 00:02:08.665
You know,

00:02:09.627 --> 00:02:11.788
earlier I had saw some posts not

00:02:11.808 --> 00:02:12.569
too long ago.

00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:13.631
And I said, man,

00:02:13.651 --> 00:02:15.353
they was already talking about it.

00:02:15.492 --> 00:02:18.657
And this girl, she posted this here.

00:02:18.697 --> 00:02:20.459
Let me adjust the screen here.

00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:21.721
But this girl,

00:02:22.221 --> 00:02:24.243
she had posted this right here,

00:02:24.264 --> 00:02:25.064
a screenshot.

00:02:25.104 --> 00:02:27.247
So people are already having

00:02:27.407 --> 00:02:29.889
issues with their phones

00:02:29.969 --> 00:02:31.551
saying SOS last night.

00:02:32.293 --> 00:02:33.894
i didn't catch it because uh

00:02:34.414 --> 00:02:35.694
I wasn't talking to nobody

00:02:35.754 --> 00:02:37.537
after a certain time I i

00:02:37.576 --> 00:02:39.858
was just watching like tick

00:02:39.897 --> 00:02:42.039
tock facebook you know

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.600
which is on your wi-fi

00:02:43.721 --> 00:02:44.980
hooked up to you yeah right

00:02:45.481 --> 00:02:46.222
right right because you

00:02:46.262 --> 00:02:47.862
know with the at t phone

00:02:47.902 --> 00:02:49.003
you know I had been kind of

00:02:49.044 --> 00:02:50.664
having on and off issues

00:02:50.724 --> 00:02:53.046
with my 5g that when I left the house

00:02:53.866 --> 00:02:54.627
Like, you know,

00:02:54.647 --> 00:02:56.449
like I like to watch YouTube when I'm,

00:02:56.669 --> 00:02:57.588
you know, well,

00:02:57.609 --> 00:02:58.770
I don't like to watch YouTube.

00:02:58.789 --> 00:02:59.949
I like to listen to YouTube

00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:01.010
when I'm driving.

00:03:01.711 --> 00:03:04.332
And sometimes my YouTube

00:03:04.573 --> 00:03:06.093
would be saying offline.

00:03:07.153 --> 00:03:08.594
I can't get access to the

00:03:08.675 --> 00:03:10.195
Google or whatever.

00:03:10.276 --> 00:03:11.436
Sometimes I may have to cut

00:03:11.475 --> 00:03:13.396
my Wi-Fi off and cut it back on.

00:03:13.477 --> 00:03:14.557
This is while I'm out.

00:03:15.237 --> 00:03:17.378
And every time I call AT&T, they're like,

00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:18.520
well, you know,

00:03:18.539 --> 00:03:19.439
they want to do all that

00:03:19.539 --> 00:03:20.580
troubleshooting stuff.

00:03:20.941 --> 00:03:22.322
Updatings and all that stuff.

00:03:22.981 --> 00:03:23.241
Well,

00:03:23.282 --> 00:03:25.062
they want to do troubleshooting first.

00:03:25.143 --> 00:03:27.683
They want to know if you got a VPN,

00:03:27.704 --> 00:03:28.764
do you got this on,

00:03:28.805 --> 00:03:31.526
do you have that enabled and all that.

00:03:32.006 --> 00:03:34.526
And after having so many issues,

00:03:34.586 --> 00:03:36.888
you most likely than

00:03:36.987 --> 00:03:37.728
already did the

00:03:37.768 --> 00:03:39.788

didn't catch it you know

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:54.800
this morning because like I

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:55.841

00:03:58.282 --> 00:03:59.324
no I'm going to say I

00:03:59.364 --> 00:04:01.284
remember reading uh earlier

00:04:01.344 --> 00:04:02.724
when when I was watching

00:04:02.824 --> 00:04:04.066
some of the stuff or the

00:04:04.086 --> 00:04:05.146
people talking about their

00:04:05.206 --> 00:04:08.808
phones uh saying the sos um

00:04:08.829 --> 00:04:09.788
they said it hit a lot of

00:04:09.808 --> 00:04:10.949
the health care the health

00:04:10.969 --> 00:04:12.449
care industry also a lot of

00:04:12.490 --> 00:04:14.592
pharmacies and and all this

00:04:14.611 --> 00:04:16.833
stuff uh they experienced

00:04:16.853 --> 00:04:19.134
here called change healthcare isn't

00:04:20.156 --> 00:04:21.338
yeah that's through united

00:04:22.057 --> 00:04:23.218
uh the united healthcare

00:04:23.358 --> 00:04:24.939
owns them I guess it's yeah

00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.180
it's one of their companies

00:04:27.141 --> 00:04:28.221
that's uh I don't know if

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:29.262
it's a sister company or

00:04:29.461 --> 00:04:31.322
they own them rather but

00:04:31.362 --> 00:04:32.322
yeah it's through united

00:04:32.442 --> 00:04:34.684
healthcare and they got hit

00:04:35.165 --> 00:04:36.365
along with a lot of

00:04:36.425 --> 00:04:38.266
pharmacies across the

00:04:38.326 --> 00:04:39.567
country and one of the

00:04:39.687 --> 00:04:41.007
articles that I read about

00:04:41.047 --> 00:04:42.028
it they were saying that

00:04:43.288 --> 00:04:44.187
they started seeing an

00:04:44.387 --> 00:04:49.071
uptick in cyber attacks during COVID.

00:04:50.230 --> 00:04:52.411
Mainly because since everything was closed,

00:04:52.872 --> 00:04:55.392
they started doing those virtual meetings,

00:04:55.894 --> 00:04:56.533
you know,

00:04:56.574 --> 00:04:58.615
seeing your doctor virtually and

00:04:58.634 --> 00:04:59.954
having a virtual checkup.

00:05:00.314 --> 00:05:00.776
And they said,

00:05:01.576 --> 00:05:04.019
That system, the health care network,

00:05:04.678 --> 00:05:06.521
wasn't designed to go

00:05:06.581 --> 00:05:08.302
virtual overnight like that.

00:05:09.103 --> 00:05:11.086
And so it opened them up to

00:05:11.125 --> 00:05:13.928
those type of cyber attacks, you know.

00:05:14.009 --> 00:05:16.732
So but they said they got it

00:05:16.891 --> 00:05:18.132
pretty much got it underway.

00:05:18.473 --> 00:05:19.795
As soon as they start seeing

00:05:20.295 --> 00:05:21.115
that they were having

00:05:21.276 --> 00:05:22.937
issues with those cyber attacks,

00:05:22.978 --> 00:05:24.980
they went on ahead and got on top of it.

00:05:27.045 --> 00:05:27.285
Yeah.

00:05:27.704 --> 00:05:28.165
Yeah.

00:05:28.345 --> 00:05:29.565
I was reading on that.

00:05:29.605 --> 00:05:30.526
They said it was having a

00:05:30.545 --> 00:05:33.586
delay in filling people's prescription.

00:05:34.786 --> 00:05:36.187
And they had to disconnect

00:05:36.247 --> 00:05:37.827
from the system to avoid

00:05:37.867 --> 00:05:38.947
any further attack.

00:05:39.848 --> 00:05:40.269
Right.

00:05:41.028 --> 00:05:41.548
Yeah.

00:05:41.848 --> 00:05:44.709
And so that affected a lot

00:05:44.750 --> 00:05:45.970
of people across the country.

00:05:46.709 --> 00:05:46.971
Right.

00:05:48.831 --> 00:05:49.230
Right.

00:05:49.810 --> 00:05:52.512
Yeah, because it was a country over there,

00:05:52.711 --> 00:05:54.333
Africa, they got hit too.

00:05:54.432 --> 00:05:55.752
One of those leaders

00:05:56.536 --> 00:05:58.437
over there was talking about it.

00:05:58.478 --> 00:05:59.997
I didn't completely read the article,

00:06:00.038 --> 00:06:04.999
so it was a worldwide, well,

00:06:05.098 --> 00:06:07.740
global cyber attack, basically.

00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:08.220
Yeah,

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:09.279
because we were looking at a map

00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:12.401
earlier showing the parts

00:06:12.461 --> 00:06:14.841
that it had hit.

00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:16.581
They said it was coming from China, right?

00:06:16.601 --> 00:06:18.141
That China was behind it?

00:06:18.161 --> 00:06:21.103
Yeah, I think that was Mark Rubio.

00:06:21.343 --> 00:06:23.783
Mark Rubio was saying that China...

00:06:26.754 --> 00:06:27.194
Basically,

00:06:27.235 --> 00:06:28.536
the cyber attacks from China

00:06:28.555 --> 00:06:29.295
would be worse.

00:06:29.817 --> 00:06:30.877
So he didn't necessarily,

00:06:31.076 --> 00:06:32.117
I don't think he was really

00:06:32.158 --> 00:06:33.579
saying that it was China,

00:06:33.978 --> 00:06:35.740
but he's saying China was

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.100
behind something like that.

00:06:37.141 --> 00:06:38.122
It would be a lot worse.

00:06:38.862 --> 00:06:40.083
And basically saying we need

00:06:40.103 --> 00:06:41.903
to get prepared for stuff like that.

00:06:42.903 --> 00:06:43.204
Right.

00:06:44.305 --> 00:06:46.867
Well, I feel like this here.

00:06:47.846 --> 00:06:49.608
I'm an American and I'm for

00:06:49.627 --> 00:06:50.608
the American way.

00:06:50.649 --> 00:06:52.649
That's why I suggest...

00:06:53.475 --> 00:06:54.815
AT&T should be knocking off

00:06:54.855 --> 00:06:57.557
some percentages on this cell phone bill.

00:06:58.377 --> 00:07:00.377
I missed out on some of my time today.

00:07:01.017 --> 00:07:04.778
They got more money than I do.

00:07:05.658 --> 00:07:07.358
I have nothing to be giving away free.

00:07:07.418 --> 00:07:09.619
I'm going to call them tomorrow.

00:07:09.798 --> 00:07:13.240
I urge everybody to call

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:14.579
your cell phone company if

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:15.821
you was affected by this

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.701
and ask for some kind of incentives.

00:07:18.841 --> 00:07:21.021
I mean, damn.

00:07:21.062 --> 00:07:22.581
We paying them for this.

00:07:23.228 --> 00:07:24.250
When was your first phone?

00:07:24.632 --> 00:07:26.156
Your first phone.

00:07:26.177 --> 00:07:27.120
We need to get back online.

00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:30.101
my first one got back online

00:07:30.141 --> 00:07:31.583
this morning when I had did

00:07:31.603 --> 00:07:33.084
the software update on both

00:07:33.144 --> 00:07:36.105
my phones uh you know my

00:07:36.206 --> 00:07:38.627
first line it it it it came

00:07:38.668 --> 00:07:40.189
back up this morning while

00:07:40.228 --> 00:07:41.649
we was talking on messaging

00:07:42.550 --> 00:07:44.411
oh and uh right but the

00:07:44.512 --> 00:07:46.273
second one it it it was

00:07:46.333 --> 00:07:47.293
right about two something

00:07:47.394 --> 00:07:49.875
today uh central before it

00:07:50.154 --> 00:07:52.857
it came back up and it was

00:07:52.896 --> 00:07:54.959
back and forth sos and then

00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:56.259
it'll show my bars it would

00:07:56.278 --> 00:07:57.279
never show the 5g or 4g

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:01.541
nothing like that, or that LTE sign.

00:08:01.701 --> 00:08:03.322
It would never show neither one of those.

00:08:04.242 --> 00:08:08.805
So I know that Cricket is owned by AT&T,

00:08:08.845 --> 00:08:10.605
so I saw that they were affected also.

00:08:11.406 --> 00:08:11.646
Yeah,

00:08:11.666 --> 00:08:14.148
we saw a TikTok video of a guy that

00:08:14.187 --> 00:08:15.288
was talking about that.

00:08:15.627 --> 00:08:15.927
Yeah.

00:08:15.968 --> 00:08:19.069
Because see, before that, you know,

00:08:19.329 --> 00:08:21.130
I was seeing videos of

00:08:21.170 --> 00:08:23.192
people saying we was under a cyber attack,

00:08:23.232 --> 00:08:23.492
but...

00:08:24.468 --> 00:08:24.728
You know,

00:08:24.767 --> 00:08:26.488
we'd have been on a cyber attack before,

00:08:26.548 --> 00:08:27.569
so it didn't really like

00:08:27.649 --> 00:08:31.291
raise any alarm to me in that sense,

00:08:31.411 --> 00:08:32.152
because, you know,

00:08:32.231 --> 00:08:35.394
we all know what happened during the, uh,

00:08:36.195 --> 00:08:37.054
shoot, really both,

00:08:37.394 --> 00:08:39.876
both of Trump elections is when, you know,

00:08:40.256 --> 00:08:41.597
recent time I can remember

00:08:41.918 --> 00:08:43.359
when we had all these cyber

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:45.259
attack infiltration in our

00:08:45.299 --> 00:08:48.120
communication system and so forth.

00:08:49.201 --> 00:08:50.322
it didn't really raise any

00:08:50.383 --> 00:08:52.105
alarms in that way because

00:08:52.144 --> 00:08:53.245
you know they was using it

00:08:53.285 --> 00:08:54.907
at that time for propaganda

00:08:54.947 --> 00:08:56.528
which they also can use

00:08:56.567 --> 00:08:58.350
cyber attacks to break into

00:08:58.690 --> 00:09:00.230
your accounts and you know

00:09:00.412 --> 00:09:01.272
you see what they did to

00:09:01.292 --> 00:09:02.533
the medical industry they

00:09:03.053 --> 00:09:03.933
shut down people getting

00:09:03.955 --> 00:09:05.115
their medication you know

00:09:07.517 --> 00:09:10.360
yeah that's that's um yeah yeah

00:09:12.101 --> 00:09:12.381
So,

00:09:13.903 --> 00:09:16.245
I know that with a lot of those cyber

00:09:16.264 --> 00:09:18.506
attacks, I think, what was I saying?

00:09:18.626 --> 00:09:20.087
They were saying that

00:09:20.567 --> 00:09:23.470
President Biden had tried

00:09:23.509 --> 00:09:25.392
to beef up the cyber attack

00:09:25.432 --> 00:09:26.533
security for the ports.

00:09:27.745 --> 00:09:28.126
You know,

00:09:28.267 --> 00:09:30.788
to keep keep that down at the ports.

00:09:30.828 --> 00:09:32.710
I don't know what ports may

00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:34.951
have been affected as a result of this.

00:09:35.652 --> 00:09:35.952
You know,

00:09:35.972 --> 00:09:36.893
I don't know if it really has

00:09:37.113 --> 00:09:39.355
affected the security of the country,

00:09:39.916 --> 00:09:40.755
but I know they were saying

00:09:40.775 --> 00:09:41.576
it was beefing up

00:09:41.677 --> 00:09:43.217
cybersecurity at the ports

00:09:43.918 --> 00:09:44.698
as a result of this.

00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:45.840
Yeah,

00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.802
probably lip service because we

00:09:47.822 --> 00:09:49.143
wouldn't know what they beefing it up.

00:09:51.051 --> 00:09:52.091
or not you know we wouldn't

00:09:52.110 --> 00:09:52.932
know anything the only

00:09:52.951 --> 00:09:54.272
thing we could do is take

00:09:54.312 --> 00:09:55.631
them as they word and as

00:09:55.672 --> 00:09:57.253
for me I take what

00:09:57.293 --> 00:09:58.332
politicians say with a

00:09:58.373 --> 00:10:00.634
grain of salt I and I you

00:10:00.653 --> 00:10:02.094
know because you can easily

00:10:02.214 --> 00:10:03.215
I doesn't say you beefing

00:10:03.274 --> 00:10:05.914
up cyber cyber security and

00:10:05.934 --> 00:10:07.255
the tech teams around the

00:10:07.296 --> 00:10:08.816
world is just doing what

00:10:08.855 --> 00:10:10.756
they normally do to fight

00:10:10.817 --> 00:10:12.277
against cyber security you

00:10:12.297 --> 00:10:13.477
know probably really

00:10:13.538 --> 00:10:14.898
nothing extra they put in

00:10:14.957 --> 00:10:17.078
he a statement he probably

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:18.158
came out with to keep

00:10:18.658 --> 00:10:19.799
people from panicking.

00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:20.821
I mean, you know,

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:23.043
we already showed the world

00:10:23.503 --> 00:10:27.706
that when something drastic happened,

00:10:27.725 --> 00:10:30.048
like a global situation, like a pandemic,

00:10:30.087 --> 00:10:30.347
you know,

00:10:30.368 --> 00:10:31.469
we're about to hell out of some

00:10:31.489 --> 00:10:32.250
paper towel.

00:10:32.750 --> 00:10:34.551
So we already showed the world.

00:10:34.650 --> 00:10:35.251
And some sanitizer.

00:10:35.892 --> 00:10:36.232
Right.

00:10:36.273 --> 00:10:37.193
So we already showed the

00:10:37.214 --> 00:10:39.355
world we'll do some of the oddest things.

00:10:39.434 --> 00:10:42.958
So that was probably lip

00:10:42.999 --> 00:10:44.679
service what he was talking about.

00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:46.881
They ain't beefed up nothing.

00:10:46.922 --> 00:10:49.244
They done burnt up so much money.

00:10:49.264 --> 00:10:49.965
Shoot.

00:10:50.065 --> 00:10:51.005
You know what I'm saying?

00:10:51.025 --> 00:10:53.086
You need to beef up some of these bridges.

00:10:53.868 --> 00:10:54.428
Yeah.

00:10:54.589 --> 00:10:55.549
Our own infrastructure.

00:10:55.590 --> 00:10:56.029
Definitely.

00:10:56.049 --> 00:10:56.269
Yeah.

00:11:01.647 --> 00:11:03.466
it's gonna be a beef up by

00:11:03.466 --> 00:11:04.128
40 and going across

00:11:04.248 --> 00:11:05.788
arkansas I know that's

00:11:05.847 --> 00:11:07.388
right yeah that's what you

00:11:07.408 --> 00:11:12.068
need to be for uh but yeah

00:11:12.109 --> 00:11:13.828
so yeah so that was the

00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:15.149
deal with the phones and

00:11:15.210 --> 00:11:17.789
everything you know I i I i

00:11:17.809 --> 00:11:19.270
was kind of man my feelings

00:11:19.331 --> 00:11:20.591
kind of hurt about about it

00:11:20.691 --> 00:11:22.451
I i mean I honestly felt

00:11:22.551 --> 00:11:24.272
lost today behind it I mean

00:11:24.292 --> 00:11:25.491
it just goes to show you

00:11:26.251 --> 00:11:28.253
how much tech has spoiled us.

00:11:28.332 --> 00:11:28.613
I mean,

00:11:28.913 --> 00:11:31.993
how many of us can say that if that

00:11:32.072 --> 00:11:34.014
happened on a large scale

00:11:34.053 --> 00:11:36.453
that we had a communication blackout,

00:11:39.174 --> 00:11:40.495
how long would it take for

00:11:40.554 --> 00:11:44.495
you to snap out of it and

00:11:45.256 --> 00:11:46.677
get back to functioning and

00:11:46.716 --> 00:11:49.857
going with plan B or C or D?

00:11:50.038 --> 00:11:53.379
Or do you even have a plan B or C or D?

00:11:53.479 --> 00:11:55.099
I don't think we think about that enough.

00:11:55.884 --> 00:11:59.025
no we don't yeah so you know

00:11:59.046 --> 00:12:00.586
now one thing I have been

00:12:00.647 --> 00:12:01.626
trying to learn how to do

00:12:01.647 --> 00:12:05.448
relearn how to do what and

00:12:06.229 --> 00:12:08.429
is memorizing phone numbers

00:12:08.750 --> 00:12:11.850
yeah people don't do that

00:12:11.890 --> 00:12:13.792
now yeah because they don't

00:12:13.831 --> 00:12:15.211
do that now you know

00:12:15.231 --> 00:12:17.013
because back in the day you

00:12:17.052 --> 00:12:17.972
know you had to know

00:12:18.234 --> 00:12:19.494
people's numbers by heart

00:12:20.173 --> 00:12:21.375
you know you had it written

00:12:21.414 --> 00:12:22.695
down in that on a sheet of

00:12:22.754 --> 00:12:24.135
paper or a phone book

00:12:24.878 --> 00:12:25.977
But for the most part,

00:12:26.437 --> 00:12:27.719
you already knew your area code,

00:12:27.739 --> 00:12:28.278
which you didn't have to

00:12:28.318 --> 00:12:31.058
put in an area code on the house phone.

00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:32.580
Didn't have to put in an area code.

00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:35.519
You just put in those first

00:12:35.539 --> 00:12:37.639
three numbers and the last four.

00:12:38.461 --> 00:12:39.020
And generally,

00:12:39.061 --> 00:12:40.000
everybody who lived in your

00:12:40.081 --> 00:12:41.081
area had the first three

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.062
numbers the same.

00:12:43.101 --> 00:12:43.761
You just had to remember

00:12:43.782 --> 00:12:44.782
their last four numbers,

00:12:44.841 --> 00:12:45.621
and that's really it.

00:12:46.361 --> 00:12:46.881
But hey,

00:12:47.182 --> 00:12:49.202
most people that was in your circle,

00:12:49.543 --> 00:12:50.143
your mom...

00:12:51.644 --> 00:12:53.125
your grandparents or whatever,

00:12:53.865 --> 00:12:55.105
your friends and family,

00:12:55.186 --> 00:12:56.407
you pretty much knew all eight numbers.

00:12:56.787 --> 00:12:58.187
You knew at least five to 10

00:12:58.187 --> 00:12:59.649
numbers off the top of the dome.

00:13:00.529 --> 00:13:02.530
Right, and as to me,

00:13:02.571 --> 00:13:03.412
that's what make you

00:13:05.033 --> 00:13:06.153
supposed to worry about

00:13:06.193 --> 00:13:07.595
your children because it's really,

00:13:08.726 --> 00:13:09.888
it's really most of their

00:14:12.782 --> 00:14:15.344
generation like around my

00:14:15.464 --> 00:14:17.024
oldest son age that that

00:14:17.304 --> 00:14:20.147
that 17 year old up to your

00:14:20.187 --> 00:14:22.408
late 20s y'all need to get

00:14:22.448 --> 00:14:23.429
in the habit of at least

00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:25.110
remembering your health

00:14:25.292 --> 00:14:26.932
phone number right

00:14:28.171 --> 00:14:28.691
You know?

00:14:28.850 --> 00:14:29.331
Yeah.

00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:30.250
That's very important.

00:14:30.932 --> 00:14:32.211
Because I was lost this morning.

00:14:33.032 --> 00:14:33.272
Right.

00:14:33.292 --> 00:14:33.351
Now,

00:14:33.432 --> 00:14:35.091
I made a habit when my children were

00:14:35.152 --> 00:14:39.913
small that I made sure they

00:14:40.033 --> 00:14:42.453
memorized my full phone number.

00:14:42.614 --> 00:14:44.014
So I've had the same numbers

00:14:45.335 --> 00:14:46.375
about 15 years.

00:14:47.154 --> 00:14:50.416
And so I made sure that they kept that.

00:14:50.436 --> 00:14:51.515
So to this day,

00:14:52.096 --> 00:14:53.716
they know my whole number

00:14:53.895 --> 00:14:56.616
by heart because I made sure that

00:14:57.822 --> 00:14:58.822
If anything happened,

00:14:59.563 --> 00:15:00.424
they could call me from

00:15:00.465 --> 00:15:02.427
wherever and they knew my whole number.

00:15:03.769 --> 00:15:04.068
Yeah.

00:15:04.429 --> 00:15:05.831
I'm glad you brought that up

00:15:05.910 --> 00:15:07.712
because that's another thing too,

00:15:07.753 --> 00:15:10.537
you know, to everybody in the audience.

00:15:11.297 --> 00:15:12.399
Just because you switch

00:15:12.458 --> 00:15:13.840
phone carriers don't mean

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:15.562
you have to give up your phone number.

00:15:15.662 --> 00:15:17.063
If you got people used to

00:15:17.144 --> 00:15:18.184
your phone number,

00:15:19.046 --> 00:15:20.586
transfer your number over to

00:15:20.626 --> 00:15:21.388
a different carrier.

00:15:22.148 --> 00:15:23.769
I used to see a lot of young people,

00:15:23.809 --> 00:15:25.671
they would change phones,

00:15:25.770 --> 00:15:27.932
and I'm guilty of it too.

00:15:28.373 --> 00:15:29.793
I was kind of shamed into

00:15:29.833 --> 00:15:30.653
keeping my number,

00:15:30.693 --> 00:15:32.054
not knowing I was really

00:15:32.095 --> 00:15:33.657
doing something that I

00:15:33.736 --> 00:15:34.636
shouldn't be doing.

00:15:35.057 --> 00:15:37.019
But people don't think about that.

00:15:37.038 --> 00:15:38.879
When they switch carriers, new phone,

00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:39.780
new number,

00:15:41.042 --> 00:15:42.302
get your number transferred

00:15:42.942 --> 00:15:45.024
and keep your number.

00:15:45.585 --> 00:15:47.907
Especially in the age of spam callers,

00:15:48.527 --> 00:15:49.827
right people like me don't

00:15:49.908 --> 00:15:50.928
answer their phones when

00:15:50.948 --> 00:15:52.710
they see spam risks or

00:15:52.870 --> 00:15:54.530
unrecognizable wireless

00:15:54.571 --> 00:15:55.991
phone number calling you or

00:15:56.011 --> 00:15:58.552
whatever uh yeah if you

00:15:58.572 --> 00:16:00.234
keep your same number you

00:16:00.274 --> 00:16:01.835
know like anything could be

00:16:01.875 --> 00:16:02.554
happening you could be

00:16:02.615 --> 00:16:03.956
running for your life and

00:16:03.975 --> 00:16:05.297
you just need that phone

00:16:05.356 --> 00:16:07.138
call for somebody to meet

00:16:07.177 --> 00:16:09.879
you at a spot or come aid and assist

00:16:11.826 --> 00:16:13.427
and you calling from a different number,

00:16:13.447 --> 00:16:14.229
they don't know the number

00:16:14.249 --> 00:16:15.309
and they don't even pick up

00:16:15.549 --> 00:16:18.432
because they thinking it's a robocaller,

00:16:18.452 --> 00:16:19.614
a spam caller,

00:16:19.693 --> 00:16:20.674
somebody trying to sell

00:16:20.735 --> 00:16:22.236
insurance or something.

00:16:22.256 --> 00:16:22.998
Yeah, that's true.

00:16:23.578 --> 00:16:25.461
Yeah, and you know what I'm saying?

00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:26.140
That's another thing.

00:16:26.201 --> 00:16:26.902
How the hell are you going

00:16:26.922 --> 00:16:27.783
to beef up the cyber

00:16:27.802 --> 00:16:29.004
security when we can't even

00:16:29.024 --> 00:16:30.346
stop these spam callers?

00:16:32.650 --> 00:16:34.772
you know that that that's a

00:16:34.851 --> 00:16:36.312
cyber breach right there in

00:16:36.352 --> 00:16:38.974
my opinion yeah they call

00:16:39.033 --> 00:16:40.674
and ask and sure they be

disease and a thyroid condition.

00:19:39.078 --> 00:19:40.180
Her team says the medical

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.702
diagnosis was made sometime last year.

00:19:43.223 --> 00:19:44.786
Medical experts say primary

00:19:44.846 --> 00:19:45.906
progressive aphasia is

00:19:45.967 --> 00:19:47.548
caused by the deterioration

00:19:47.588 --> 00:19:48.349
of brain tissue,

00:19:48.450 --> 00:19:50.412
important for speech and language.

00:19:51.012 --> 00:19:52.474
It also is the same disease

00:19:52.535 --> 00:19:54.217
that Bruce Willis is battling.

00:19:56.299 --> 00:19:56.980
Now, look,

00:20:00.181 --> 00:20:02.582
enemies and everything,

00:20:02.602 --> 00:20:04.083
but you got to admit that's

00:20:04.123 --> 00:20:05.482
heartbreaking.

00:20:05.502 --> 00:20:05.824
It is.

00:20:05.903 --> 00:20:06.903
That's heartbreaking because

00:20:06.943 --> 00:20:08.044
she's still a human being.

00:20:09.005 --> 00:20:09.224
Yeah.

00:20:10.244 --> 00:20:10.545
Yeah.

00:20:10.565 --> 00:20:12.346
I mean, it's not like she killed anybody.

00:20:12.385 --> 00:20:14.047
She just ran a mouth a lot.

00:20:14.467 --> 00:20:15.366
But that's heartbreaking.

00:20:16.892 --> 00:20:18.814
yeah to see that um see

00:20:18.854 --> 00:20:22.198
anybody who um goes to that

00:20:22.258 --> 00:20:23.519
extent we know they they

00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:24.800
kind of start losing their

00:20:24.862 --> 00:20:26.042
memory and everything

00:20:26.083 --> 00:20:26.903
because I have family

00:20:26.943 --> 00:20:28.905
members who who've gone

00:20:28.925 --> 00:20:29.767
through that who's battled

00:20:29.807 --> 00:20:31.048
with dementia or

00:20:31.229 --> 00:20:32.770
alzheimer's and stuff like

00:20:32.810 --> 00:20:35.374
that and it's heartbreaking to see um

00:20:36.394 --> 00:20:37.516
sometimes they remember who

00:20:37.556 --> 00:20:38.436
you are and other times

00:20:38.477 --> 00:20:41.038
they don't you know and so

00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.382
and to see her basically

00:20:45.402 --> 00:20:46.643
she'd be full of life and

00:20:46.663 --> 00:20:47.463
to kind of see it kind of

00:20:47.483 --> 00:20:48.744
in a vulnerable state right

00:20:48.805 --> 00:20:49.885
now just that is

00:20:49.925 --> 00:20:52.407
heartbreaking right right

00:20:52.607 --> 00:20:53.989
and then uh you know and

00:20:54.009 --> 00:20:55.329
from my understanding you

00:20:55.369 --> 00:20:59.854
know she's pretty much broke you know um

00:21:01.686 --> 00:21:02.667
The documentary,

00:21:02.688 --> 00:21:05.730
I was listening to a

00:21:06.030 --> 00:21:09.434
YouTube video this morning about it,

00:21:10.214 --> 00:21:11.336
and they were going to

00:21:11.396 --> 00:21:12.637
scrap the documentary

00:21:12.657 --> 00:21:13.858
because that's when they

00:21:13.898 --> 00:21:16.480
started noticing that she wasn't right.

00:21:17.321 --> 00:21:18.363
The production crew,

00:21:18.803 --> 00:21:19.963
when they was on set to do

00:21:19.983 --> 00:21:20.784
the documentary,

00:21:21.084 --> 00:21:23.085
then they figured just go

00:21:23.105 --> 00:21:23.965
ahead and shoot it,

00:21:24.006 --> 00:21:25.006
because I guess they felt

00:21:25.046 --> 00:21:26.086
like the world needed to

00:21:26.166 --> 00:21:27.647
see what she was going through.

00:21:28.067 --> 00:21:30.068
But they said nobody knew

00:21:30.429 --> 00:21:31.769
when they was getting

00:21:31.789 --> 00:21:33.431
scared to do that documentary.

00:21:33.671 --> 00:21:34.672
They said documentary

00:21:34.692 --> 00:21:35.872
supposed to be something else,

00:21:35.951 --> 00:21:39.213
like basically her comeback, you know,

00:21:39.654 --> 00:21:40.494
to the industry.

00:21:41.108 --> 00:21:42.530
But now, you know,

00:21:42.590 --> 00:21:45.814
they see that she's most

00:21:45.874 --> 00:21:47.536
likely not coming back.

00:21:48.236 --> 00:21:49.478
And that's pretty much why

00:21:49.538 --> 00:21:50.739
she had kind of left her

00:21:50.798 --> 00:21:52.240
show kind of early because

00:21:52.280 --> 00:21:53.561
of the different sicknesses

00:21:53.682 --> 00:21:54.583
that she was dealing with.

00:21:55.163 --> 00:21:55.344
Yeah.

00:21:56.105 --> 00:21:56.184
Yeah.

00:21:57.300 --> 00:21:58.643
Yeah, the up and downs.

00:21:59.763 --> 00:22:01.425
That's a sad situation.

00:22:01.746 --> 00:22:02.886
But what do they call it?

00:22:03.007 --> 00:22:05.349
Apesia?

00:22:05.390 --> 00:22:08.252
What did the lady call it?

00:22:08.794 --> 00:22:09.694
I forgot that,

00:22:09.714 --> 00:22:10.596
but I know they were saying

00:22:10.615 --> 00:22:11.997
she was dealing with Graves' disease.

00:22:12.018 --> 00:22:14.980
Right, yeah.

00:22:15.741 --> 00:22:16.923
And I forgot the other part

00:22:16.962 --> 00:22:17.763
she was dealing with.

00:22:19.061 --> 00:22:22.284
Yeah, it's a frontotemporal dementia.

00:22:23.584 --> 00:22:26.486
If I'm saying that wrong, I apologize.

00:22:26.546 --> 00:22:29.387
But yeah, that's what it is.

00:22:29.407 --> 00:22:31.848
It said the news was shared

00:22:32.048 --> 00:22:33.349
in a press release on

00:22:33.450 --> 00:22:36.211
Thursday to correct

00:22:36.310 --> 00:22:37.731
inaccurate and hurtful

00:22:37.832 --> 00:22:39.133
rumors about her health.

00:22:39.173 --> 00:22:40.913
They got that in quotation.

00:22:42.134 --> 00:22:44.115
care team for when Williams

00:22:44.215 --> 00:22:45.277
wrote in a statement

00:22:45.938 --> 00:22:48.298
yesterday they said as

00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:50.500
Wendy's fans are where in

00:22:50.520 --> 00:22:52.281
the past she has been open

00:22:52.323 --> 00:22:53.844
with the public about her

00:22:54.384 --> 00:22:57.767
medical struggles with graves disease and

00:22:59.528 --> 00:22:59.708
Man,

00:22:59.748 --> 00:23:01.307
I can't pronounce a lot of these

00:23:01.367 --> 00:23:01.969
medical words.

00:23:02.068 --> 00:23:02.888
I don't want to say the

00:23:02.909 --> 00:23:04.568
wrong thing and then end up

00:23:04.608 --> 00:23:05.368
putting something on this

00:23:05.429 --> 00:23:06.588
lady that's not there.

00:23:07.170 --> 00:23:08.269
But in a way,

00:23:09.170 --> 00:23:10.630
as well as other significant

00:23:10.650 --> 00:23:12.310
challenges related to her health,

00:23:12.971 --> 00:23:14.951
the press release states

00:23:15.310 --> 00:23:16.711
over the past few years,

00:23:17.311 --> 00:23:18.571
questions have been raised

00:23:18.652 --> 00:23:20.192
at times about Wendy's

00:23:20.251 --> 00:23:22.333
ability to process information.

00:23:22.853 --> 00:23:25.093
And many have speculated

00:23:25.212 --> 00:23:27.953
about Wendy's condition, particularly

00:23:28.693 --> 00:23:30.836
When she began to lose words,

00:23:31.375 --> 00:23:33.198
act erratically at times

00:23:33.657 --> 00:23:34.739
and have difficulties

00:23:34.858 --> 00:23:37.701
understanding financial transactions.

00:23:38.842 --> 00:23:39.122
Wow.

00:23:40.843 --> 00:23:41.903
You know, that's what, you know,

00:23:41.943 --> 00:23:43.484
me and you had discussed before.

00:23:43.505 --> 00:23:44.885
That's why I was telling you

00:23:45.086 --> 00:23:47.067
about some of the people that we lost.

00:23:47.167 --> 00:23:49.150
These issues appear over time.

00:23:50.211 --> 00:23:51.632
you know you know when you

00:23:51.672 --> 00:23:52.873
messing with your brain and

00:23:53.012 --> 00:23:55.375
all that it's it's signs

00:23:55.556 --> 00:23:56.777
this this there that appear

00:23:56.817 --> 00:23:57.837
over time like when you

00:23:57.877 --> 00:24:00.240
have these memory blocks or

00:24:00.260 --> 00:24:01.561
these you know being

00:24:01.602 --> 00:24:03.063
forgetful or stuff when you

00:24:03.083 --> 00:24:04.265
know your mind used to be

00:24:04.325 --> 00:24:06.547
stronger than that that

00:24:06.727 --> 00:24:08.949
that that to me now I don't

00:24:08.989 --> 00:24:10.049
know if that's a medical

00:24:10.109 --> 00:24:11.592
fact but to me that could

00:24:11.612 --> 00:24:12.653
be signs of dementia

00:24:14.223 --> 00:24:16.326
Alzheimer's, you know,

00:24:16.425 --> 00:24:17.767
that could be setting in.

00:24:17.787 --> 00:24:18.827
You know, if you ask me,

00:24:18.949 --> 00:24:20.289
I think a lot of this stuff

00:24:20.930 --> 00:24:24.453
is caused by not only abuse of drugs,

00:24:24.574 --> 00:24:26.915
but just stress on your brain.

00:24:27.777 --> 00:24:29.638
You know, you know what I'm saying?

00:24:29.919 --> 00:24:30.920
I mean, you think about it.

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:33.402
If you compare your brain to a computer,

00:24:34.022 --> 00:24:35.304
what happens when you put

00:24:35.344 --> 00:24:37.066
too many files in your computer?

00:24:37.567 --> 00:24:38.950
computer starts to buffering

00:24:39.310 --> 00:24:41.354
starts to slowing down so

00:24:41.413 --> 00:24:42.957
if the brain operates like

00:24:42.997 --> 00:24:44.660
a computer just just just

00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:47.044
just let that sink in just

00:24:47.084 --> 00:24:51.151
think about that yeah and um

00:24:51.791 --> 00:24:53.813
I think that, um,

00:24:55.153 --> 00:24:56.294
oftentimes people that are

00:24:56.433 --> 00:24:58.234
real close to you don't

00:24:58.414 --> 00:25:00.195
always pick up what's going

00:25:00.296 --> 00:25:01.635
on or they don't

00:25:01.715 --> 00:25:03.217
necessarily know the right

00:25:03.297 --> 00:25:05.278
course of action to take.

00:25:05.857 --> 00:25:08.019
You know, if they do start recognize, okay,

00:25:08.038 --> 00:25:09.839
some ain't right because if

00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:10.760
it's something that's not

00:25:10.840 --> 00:25:12.101
happening all the time,

00:25:12.141 --> 00:25:12.922
if it's just something that

00:25:12.942 --> 00:25:13.902
happens here and there,

00:25:14.402 --> 00:25:15.383
everybody may not be able

00:25:15.403 --> 00:25:18.243
to pick up on it and know how to, um,

00:25:18.806 --> 00:25:21.627
directed in the right path to get help.

00:25:22.268 --> 00:25:22.488
Yeah.

00:25:22.528 --> 00:25:22.709
So.

00:25:22.729 --> 00:25:24.150
All right.

00:25:24.730 --> 00:25:24.910
Yeah.

00:25:24.950 --> 00:25:26.550
Cause see, cause I think all this stuff,

00:25:26.611 --> 00:25:29.073
like Alzheimer's dementia and stuff like,

00:25:29.492 --> 00:25:30.634
doesn't that also affect

00:25:30.653 --> 00:25:31.934
your nerve system too?

00:25:32.974 --> 00:25:33.375
Yeah.

00:25:33.596 --> 00:25:34.496
I think it does have

00:25:34.516 --> 00:25:35.217
something to do with your

00:25:35.277 --> 00:25:37.597
nervous nervous system and other organs.

00:25:40.539 --> 00:25:41.721
Cause I know a lot of people

00:25:41.760 --> 00:25:43.281
who've had Alzheimer's, you know,

00:25:43.321 --> 00:25:44.762
they began to really

00:25:44.803 --> 00:25:45.983
deteriorate over time.

00:25:48.003 --> 00:25:51.285
yeah so I forgot the exact

00:25:51.605 --> 00:25:53.684
uh organs that it it

00:25:53.724 --> 00:25:56.205
affects at first I just

00:25:56.246 --> 00:25:57.306
thought it was something

00:25:57.346 --> 00:25:58.406
dealing with memory loss

00:25:58.826 --> 00:26:00.067
until I've heard of people

00:26:00.106 --> 00:26:01.227
saying oh yeah they died

00:26:01.287 --> 00:26:03.087
from all time so they died

00:26:03.127 --> 00:26:04.288
from this so I didn't know

00:26:04.327 --> 00:26:05.508
you can actually die from

00:26:05.548 --> 00:26:06.288
it I just thought it was

00:26:06.307 --> 00:26:07.449
just dealing with memory

00:26:07.489 --> 00:26:12.130
loss yeah so yeah you you

00:26:12.150 --> 00:26:12.869
see something on it

00:26:13.654 --> 00:26:15.415
well yeah uh no I didn't

00:26:15.435 --> 00:26:16.635
really catch nothing you

00:26:16.695 --> 00:26:18.836
know on on the nerve

00:26:18.856 --> 00:26:19.596
because see what I was

00:26:19.656 --> 00:26:22.958
gonna uh mention you know

00:26:23.018 --> 00:26:24.638
like you know my my my

00:26:24.798 --> 00:26:26.278
older brother he had a

00:26:26.318 --> 00:26:27.078
stroke and one of the

00:26:27.118 --> 00:26:28.319
things that I admire about

00:26:28.380 --> 00:26:30.381
him he got he really got in

00:26:30.421 --> 00:26:31.641
tune with studying the

00:26:31.701 --> 00:26:33.642
nervous system studying the

00:26:33.682 --> 00:26:35.642
brain you know what causes

00:26:35.682 --> 00:26:37.843
these things to happen and

00:26:38.103 --> 00:26:39.002
and the reason why I was

00:26:39.022 --> 00:26:40.263
saying that dementia

00:26:41.183 --> 00:26:42.464
It's possible that it could

00:26:42.505 --> 00:26:43.807
be related to a nerve.

00:26:43.866 --> 00:26:45.327
I mean, that's not a medical fact.

00:26:45.387 --> 00:26:47.750
I'm not a doctor or anything.

00:26:48.611 --> 00:26:50.512
I just lost a lot of family

00:26:50.532 --> 00:26:52.795
members due to a lot of different issues.

00:26:53.236 --> 00:26:54.817
And it does come back to that.

00:26:54.916 --> 00:26:57.640
But he compared the nervous

00:26:57.680 --> 00:26:59.060
system to a fuse box.

00:26:59.682 --> 00:27:00.703
you know he said the way

00:27:00.723 --> 00:27:02.227
that the doctors educated

00:27:02.267 --> 00:27:03.789
him and the people where he

00:27:03.829 --> 00:27:05.271
was doing rehabilitating

00:27:05.332 --> 00:27:06.875
him and he was like you

00:27:06.894 --> 00:27:07.817
know it's just like your

00:27:07.856 --> 00:27:08.999
nervous system is just like

00:27:09.038 --> 00:27:11.363
a bunch of fuses if you remove a fuse

00:27:12.673 --> 00:27:14.076
it could shut off certain

00:27:14.115 --> 00:27:15.196
things like your speech

00:27:15.336 --> 00:27:17.980
your memory uh your ability

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:20.163
to go use the restroom it

00:27:20.222 --> 00:27:21.544
you know just certain parts

00:27:21.604 --> 00:27:22.484
in your nerves because he

00:27:22.505 --> 00:27:24.186
said it's it's billions on

00:27:24.227 --> 00:27:25.909
top of billions of of

00:27:26.028 --> 00:27:27.170
nerves running through your

00:27:27.210 --> 00:27:28.632
body and all of them have a

00:27:28.692 --> 00:27:30.473
role to play on how we

00:27:30.753 --> 00:27:32.155
operate on a daily basis

00:27:33.497 --> 00:27:37.078
breathing on our own is part

00:27:37.118 --> 00:27:38.159
of the nervous system,

00:27:38.219 --> 00:27:39.680
something that we take for granted.

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:40.680
We do naturally.

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:42.079
You know, if you're like me,

00:27:42.140 --> 00:27:43.441
you don't really appreciate

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:44.381
the fact that you're able

00:27:44.401 --> 00:27:45.342
to breathe until you get

00:27:45.382 --> 00:27:48.063
congested and you can't

00:27:48.103 --> 00:27:49.923
sleep at night and you stopped up.

00:27:50.023 --> 00:27:51.443
Then it becomes irritating.

00:27:51.644 --> 00:27:53.785
Imagine if that was your life.

00:27:55.426 --> 00:27:56.146
That'd be sad.

00:27:56.606 --> 00:27:57.768
I'm reading this right here

00:27:57.928 --> 00:28:00.989
and it says primarily as

00:28:01.048 --> 00:28:04.690
the disease of dementia progresses,

00:28:04.869 --> 00:28:06.269
it starts to harm other

00:28:06.730 --> 00:28:08.211
bodily systems as well.

00:28:08.631 --> 00:28:09.892
As the brain deteriorates,

00:28:10.231 --> 00:28:11.632
it has more difficulty

00:28:11.971 --> 00:28:13.452
controlling parts of the body.

00:28:14.153 --> 00:28:15.393
Yeah, if it's dealing with the brain,

00:28:15.432 --> 00:28:16.013
it's dealing with the

00:28:16.074 --> 00:28:17.354
nervous system as well.

00:28:18.233 --> 00:28:19.454
Because that's where all our

00:28:19.494 --> 00:28:20.795
nerves hooked up start,

00:28:20.815 --> 00:28:21.335
you know what I'm saying?

00:28:21.355 --> 00:28:23.256
The root start, you know.

00:28:26.163 --> 00:28:28.164
saying that's that is saying

00:28:28.244 --> 00:28:31.247
you know yeah I think

00:28:31.287 --> 00:28:32.186
that's one thing you just

00:28:32.207 --> 00:28:37.130
have to uh man it I think

00:28:37.170 --> 00:28:38.630
with everything with every

00:28:38.690 --> 00:28:40.871
disease or every cancer you

00:28:40.932 --> 00:28:42.291
know you talk to health

00:28:42.332 --> 00:28:43.192
care professionals

00:28:43.373 --> 00:28:46.493
everything um can be I

00:28:46.653 --> 00:28:47.694
ain't gonna say prevent it

00:28:48.630 --> 00:28:50.431
Because everybody who tries

00:28:50.510 --> 00:28:52.612
to be health conscious is

00:28:52.692 --> 00:28:53.711
trying to do what they can

00:28:53.731 --> 00:28:55.053
to prevent certain things.

00:28:55.673 --> 00:28:57.354
Especially if you understand

00:28:57.973 --> 00:28:59.733
what your sickness is that

00:28:59.753 --> 00:29:01.555
your family have dealt with in the past.

00:29:01.575 --> 00:29:03.276
If you've got heart disease

00:29:03.296 --> 00:29:04.536
that runs in the family or

00:29:04.655 --> 00:29:06.757
whatever disease that runs in the family,

00:29:06.777 --> 00:29:08.178
then you try to be conscious.

00:29:08.978 --> 00:29:10.798
to do what you can to

00:29:10.838 --> 00:29:11.818
prevent those things from

00:29:11.878 --> 00:29:12.680
happening to you.

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:15.121
But when it comes to things of the mind,

00:29:16.060 --> 00:29:17.102
the healthcare professional

00:29:17.122 --> 00:29:17.801
would basically say

00:29:18.021 --> 00:29:22.723
everything really can be, I guess,

00:29:22.864 --> 00:29:23.403
lessened if

00:29:24.932 --> 00:29:27.074
you have early prevention, you know,

00:29:27.134 --> 00:29:27.673
so going,

00:29:27.713 --> 00:29:29.175
doing your checkups and doing

00:29:29.215 --> 00:29:31.057
those other tests outside

00:29:31.096 --> 00:29:33.499
of just your regular annual checkup,

00:29:33.939 --> 00:29:35.560
you know, asking for certain tests,

00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:37.041
but you got a good doctor,

00:29:37.582 --> 00:29:38.963
a healthcare professional,

00:29:39.003 --> 00:29:40.924
they're going to recommend, hey, at 40,

00:29:40.924 --> 00:29:42.445
this is what you should be testing for.

00:29:42.946 --> 00:29:44.087
At 50,

00:29:44.087 --> 00:29:46.128
this is what you should be testing for.

00:29:46.170 --> 00:29:47.431
Let's do this type of scan.

00:29:47.451 --> 00:29:49.412
Let's do this type of test, you know,

00:29:49.571 --> 00:29:51.534
and if they aren't doing those things,

00:29:52.454 --> 00:29:53.635
hopefully you're studying

00:29:54.195 --> 00:29:55.576
and you're asking for those

00:29:55.615 --> 00:29:57.517
things for yourself right

00:29:58.636 --> 00:30:01.137
right you know in school we

00:30:01.298 --> 00:30:03.117
all learned about uh health

00:30:03.198 --> 00:30:04.178
and wellness what's that

00:30:04.278 --> 00:30:06.338
economic uh uh what they

00:30:06.358 --> 00:30:07.818
call it oh a health I don't

00:30:07.838 --> 00:30:10.099
know health in school we

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:11.319
took health uh you know

00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:12.579
yeah right but they call it

00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:13.460
something else with an e

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:15.681
though uh health the health

00:30:15.721 --> 00:30:19.000
class uh I should call it

00:30:19.040 --> 00:30:19.862
something being called

00:30:19.922 --> 00:30:21.021
health in my school

00:30:21.761 --> 00:30:22.103
Yeah,

00:30:22.403 --> 00:30:23.684
it was called something with an E.

00:30:23.704 --> 00:30:25.988
But anyway, you know, you know,

00:30:26.067 --> 00:30:28.029
you learn about health and wellness.

00:30:28.069 --> 00:30:29.291
I think if I'm not mistaken,

00:30:29.311 --> 00:30:30.432
they got a whole chapter to

00:30:30.452 --> 00:30:31.213
just say health and

00:30:31.273 --> 00:30:32.736
wellness or book to say

00:30:32.776 --> 00:30:33.517
health and wellness.

00:30:35.678 --> 00:30:36.759
i didn't understand what

00:30:36.818 --> 00:30:38.721
health and wellness like

00:30:38.800 --> 00:30:41.584
really truly meant until I

00:30:41.624 --> 00:30:43.726
got older and health and

00:30:43.766 --> 00:30:45.487
wellness means everything

00:30:45.548 --> 00:30:47.568
about your being you need

00:30:47.588 --> 00:30:49.411
to protect not only do you

00:30:49.451 --> 00:30:50.833
need to eat right and

00:30:51.093 --> 00:30:52.614
exercise you need to

00:30:52.673 --> 00:30:53.914
protect your mental health

00:30:54.256 --> 00:30:56.018
your emotional health you

00:30:56.057 --> 00:30:57.618
need to all that play a

00:30:57.699 --> 00:31:00.281
role in your deterioration

00:31:01.242 --> 00:31:01.583
You know,

00:31:01.643 --> 00:31:02.785
you start messing with your

00:31:02.845 --> 00:31:04.405
emotional and your mental.

00:31:04.767 --> 00:31:06.729
Now you deteriorating, you know,

00:31:06.808 --> 00:31:09.310
things going on with your your cells,

00:31:09.372 --> 00:31:11.473
your nerve system, your brain.

00:31:11.554 --> 00:31:11.953
You know,

00:31:12.295 --> 00:31:13.556
that's why it's important to keep

00:31:13.615 --> 00:31:15.178
toxic people out your life.

00:31:16.531 --> 00:31:18.153
I don't care how much you love them.

00:31:18.193 --> 00:31:19.174
You need to learn to love

00:31:19.194 --> 00:31:20.536
them from a distance and

00:31:20.576 --> 00:31:23.097
let whatever it is be.

00:31:24.058 --> 00:31:24.338
Yeah.

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:24.880
You know,

00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:26.842
the most important thing that I

00:31:26.882 --> 00:31:28.282
learned throughout my life

00:31:28.423 --> 00:31:29.663
was the serenity prayer.

00:31:30.964 --> 00:31:32.467
And, you know, and...

00:31:35.108 --> 00:31:36.608
part of their prayer says

00:31:36.689 --> 00:31:38.690
you know to ask god to help

00:31:38.750 --> 00:31:40.230
you to accept things that

00:31:40.269 --> 00:31:43.451
you cannot change you know

00:31:44.191 --> 00:31:45.731
right you know when you you

00:31:45.971 --> 00:31:48.011
you you know a person like

00:31:48.071 --> 00:31:49.432
me a person like me I have

00:31:49.472 --> 00:31:51.792
to be in full control of my

00:31:51.853 --> 00:31:54.693
zone my bubble I have to be full control

00:31:55.273 --> 00:31:56.075
and when you're a person

00:31:56.115 --> 00:31:57.476
like me that can tend to

00:31:57.596 --> 00:31:59.998
stress you and add on you

00:32:00.018 --> 00:32:01.358
know unnecessary

00:32:01.419 --> 00:32:02.618
deterioration to your

00:32:02.659 --> 00:32:03.799
health and wellness and I'm

00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:05.201
working progress on that

00:32:05.260 --> 00:32:07.103
right now just really just

00:32:07.282 --> 00:32:08.403
putting myself in a state

00:32:08.443 --> 00:32:10.644
of not just to say not

00:32:10.765 --> 00:32:13.606
giving a but just just

00:32:14.607 --> 00:32:16.028
just putting it in the most

00:32:16.048 --> 00:32:17.308
high hand because the most

00:32:18.068 --> 00:32:19.230
the only thing you can do

00:32:19.269 --> 00:32:20.109
when you care about

00:32:20.150 --> 00:32:22.611
somebody is is is tell them

00:32:22.951 --> 00:32:24.751
that's all you can do what

00:32:24.951 --> 00:32:26.672
however they take it after

00:32:26.712 --> 00:32:28.633
that it's on them I mean

00:32:28.673 --> 00:32:30.493
it's nothing you can do right

00:32:31.542 --> 00:32:34.244
But at least you can do your

00:32:34.286 --> 00:32:36.666
part and drop the seed and

00:32:36.748 --> 00:32:38.769
hope it grow before they

00:32:38.788 --> 00:32:39.609
make their mistakes.

00:32:39.670 --> 00:32:41.171
And if they do make their mistakes,

00:32:41.211 --> 00:32:42.451
which we should allow

00:32:42.531 --> 00:32:43.792
people to make their mistakes,

00:32:44.173 --> 00:32:45.894
let's pray and hope that

00:32:45.934 --> 00:32:47.316
they learn from their mistakes.

00:32:47.576 --> 00:32:49.837
They gain wisdom from their mistake.

00:32:51.219 --> 00:32:52.279
yeah and they go ahead and

00:32:52.861 --> 00:32:55.122
get on the right path right

00:32:55.742 --> 00:32:57.403
right because because some

00:32:57.443 --> 00:32:58.684
people journey to the right

00:32:58.724 --> 00:33:00.185
path is longer than others

00:33:00.446 --> 00:33:01.627
and we have to simply

00:33:01.708 --> 00:33:03.368
understand that especially

00:33:03.429 --> 00:33:05.510
when we know we we've done

00:33:05.631 --> 00:33:06.811
everything that we could do

00:33:07.271 --> 00:33:08.232
even when they come to our

00:33:08.292 --> 00:33:09.834
children sometimes we have

00:33:09.854 --> 00:33:11.536
to let them lead the next I

00:33:11.596 --> 00:33:12.797
mean you can't let that

00:33:13.116 --> 00:33:15.598
that uh stress you or worry you you know

00:33:16.038 --> 00:33:17.160
how many mothers if you

00:33:17.180 --> 00:33:18.080
think about it how many

00:33:18.121 --> 00:33:20.182
moms and grandmas have we

00:33:20.221 --> 00:33:22.084
seen leave in their 60s and

00:33:22.144 --> 00:33:24.545
70s and you think back to

00:33:24.565 --> 00:33:26.067
what you or your siblings

00:33:26.146 --> 00:33:28.028
may have put her through

00:33:28.167 --> 00:33:30.009
over the years right you

00:33:30.029 --> 00:33:31.911
know I mean just because

00:33:32.171 --> 00:33:33.612
you were going through your

00:33:33.672 --> 00:33:35.634
stages so right you know

00:33:35.653 --> 00:33:36.894
you just you you were being

00:33:36.934 --> 00:33:38.195
you and they were worried

00:33:38.215 --> 00:33:39.517
about you all that time

00:33:40.156 --> 00:33:45.038
right yeah so yeah so yeah I

00:33:45.078 --> 00:33:46.599
say it's it's a sad

00:33:46.660 --> 00:33:48.201
situation I wish wendy and

00:33:48.221 --> 00:33:49.980
her family uh well and I

She may have came on her

00:35:27.918 --> 00:35:29.380

it says the close friendship first

00:35:32.304 --> 00:35:35.027
grew out of gossip back in

00:35:35.027 --> 00:35:38.010
2020 after years of being

00:35:38.090 --> 00:35:39.753
mentioned on William's show.

00:35:41.135 --> 00:35:42.916
Chyna decided to set the

00:35:43.016 --> 00:35:44.177

00:35:50.722 --> 00:35:52.184
entanglements with the

00:35:52.463 --> 00:35:56.186

00:35:56.266 --> 00:35:57.507
you know developing a

00:35:57.547 --> 00:36:00.429
friendship out of beef okay

00:36:16.364 --> 00:36:17.945
we got this amazon driver

00:36:19.106 --> 00:36:20.505
who uh I think you said

00:36:20.525 --> 00:36:21.947
this video from 2021 who uh

00:36:22.246 --> 00:36:26.347
yeah he was split in half

00:36:26.427 --> 00:36:28.947
by his his vehicle yeah

00:36:29.108 --> 00:36:31.829
right I say he was

00:36:31.869 --> 00:36:33.108
splitting here that's a

00:36:33.128 --> 00:36:34.128
picture of the vehicle

00:36:34.168 --> 00:36:35.949
right there the van that he was in

00:36:37.170 --> 00:36:40.952
okay wow boy blessed he man

00:36:41.371 --> 00:36:43.152
yeah he really is blessed

00:36:43.211 --> 00:36:45.652
man I man I tell you we got

00:36:45.693 --> 00:36:46.994
a clip for anybody who

00:36:47.034 --> 00:36:48.773
hasn't seen the clip I i

00:36:48.813 --> 00:36:50.675
just seen the clip uh gene

00:36:50.695 --> 00:36:53.155
said he saw the clip last

00:36:53.215 --> 00:36:55.657
year so it's it looks like

00:36:55.717 --> 00:36:57.157
it's more coming up on this

00:36:57.197 --> 00:36:58.737
story so I'm I'm gonna run

00:36:58.757 --> 00:37:01.778
the clip here okay just a moment here

00:38:00.512 --> 00:38:00.731
Well,

00:38:00.791 --> 00:38:02.273
that's a clear view of the railroad

00:38:02.313 --> 00:38:03.273
tracks and you can see the

00:38:03.293 --> 00:38:05.556
railroad crossing sign in the background.

00:38:07.257 --> 00:38:08.978
So he just went over,

00:38:08.998 --> 00:38:11.240
he just did the crossing sign.

00:38:11.561 --> 00:38:12.521
See, because from that angle,

00:38:12.561 --> 00:38:13.302
you can't tell if the

00:38:13.322 --> 00:38:16.105
crossing sign came down or

00:38:16.425 --> 00:38:17.485
if the crossing sign was

00:38:17.525 --> 00:38:19.827
down and he just went through them.

00:38:20.668 --> 00:38:24.030
You know, I couldn't tell from that.

00:38:24.532 --> 00:38:28.034
But another clip that I had

00:38:28.074 --> 00:38:29.036
seen of that video,

00:38:30.181 --> 00:38:32.041
He said that the driver had said that,

00:38:33.822 --> 00:38:35.561
well, he's deaf in his left ear,

00:38:36.463 --> 00:38:37.043
that driver.

00:38:38.123 --> 00:38:38.543
Oh, yeah.

00:38:39.103 --> 00:38:41.983
Yeah, so he didn't hear the horns,

00:38:42.804 --> 00:38:43.864
and he said there were no

00:38:43.925 --> 00:38:45.664
flashing lights or warning signs.

00:38:47.105 --> 00:38:48.965
So I don't know.

00:38:50.512 --> 00:38:53.213
yeah but I don't know how he

00:38:53.253 --> 00:38:54.474
gonna make that happen man

00:38:54.514 --> 00:38:55.494
because you know you can

00:38:55.534 --> 00:38:57.114
still I mean it's just my

00:38:57.135 --> 00:38:58.034
opinion I'm not trying to

00:38:58.074 --> 00:38:59.655
discount anything that went

00:38:59.856 --> 00:39:02.257
on with that driver but I

00:39:02.297 --> 00:39:04.556
mean come on now you know

00:39:04.597 --> 00:39:06.717
what I'm saying I mean you

00:39:06.737 --> 00:39:07.679
don't send the railroad

00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:09.018
tracks was clearly there

00:39:09.278 --> 00:39:10.900
you can see that in the background

00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:14.561
And the railroad signs was clearly there.

00:39:14.621 --> 00:39:16.521
So I don't know.

00:39:16.581 --> 00:39:19.641
But it says that TMZ shows

00:39:19.701 --> 00:39:22.021
the immediate reaction of a driver.

00:39:22.561 --> 00:39:25.722
His name was Alexander Evans, by the way,

00:39:26.663 --> 00:39:28.003
after his vehicle was hit

00:39:28.182 --> 00:39:29.523
in November 2021.

00:39:29.523 --> 00:39:31.362
The collision happened when

00:39:31.402 --> 00:39:33.684
he turned onto the tracks

00:39:34.123 --> 00:39:35.423
of a railroad crossing.

00:39:36.184 --> 00:39:37.623
The impact from the oncoming

00:39:37.684 --> 00:39:40.505
train cut the vehicle entirely in half.

00:39:41.315 --> 00:39:42.295
Evans appeared to be

00:39:42.375 --> 00:39:45.536
startled but was luckily not injured.

00:39:45.715 --> 00:39:47.016
According to the reports,

00:39:47.456 --> 00:39:48.996
he went to the hospital as

00:39:49.016 --> 00:39:51.217
a safety precaution but was

00:39:51.438 --> 00:39:54.378
only sore after the incident.

00:39:54.418 --> 00:39:55.139
I bet he was.

00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:55.978
Yeah.

00:39:56.059 --> 00:39:58.199
During an interview with

00:39:58.300 --> 00:40:00.940
local news station WISN,

00:40:01.340 --> 00:40:03.121
the father of two described

00:40:03.621 --> 00:40:04.802
his surroundings as,

00:40:05.442 --> 00:40:07.204
after the train slammed into

00:40:07.244 --> 00:40:09.766
him on his birthday photos

00:40:09.826 --> 00:40:11.447
showed the damage of his

00:40:11.507 --> 00:40:13.429
vehicle which was partly

00:40:13.528 --> 00:40:15.951
crushed with packages still

00:40:16.050 --> 00:40:20.034
inside he said it just

00:40:20.155 --> 00:40:23.398
boomed he told the outlet

00:40:23.538 --> 00:40:25.579
in 2021 just air and the

00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:29.143
pressure I felt the airbags I didn't

00:40:29.858 --> 00:40:32.298
know uh what to feel to be

00:40:32.358 --> 00:40:34.039
honest with you the

00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:35.440
railroad crossing was on

00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:38.380
river valley road and uh

00:40:39.021 --> 00:40:40.262
it's I'm gonna spell this

00:40:40.302 --> 00:40:44.003
city name it's it's l x o n

00:40:44.344 --> 00:40:47.405
I a that's the city of a

00:40:47.465 --> 00:40:50.385
town in wisconsin it's it's

00:40:50.425 --> 00:40:52.527
about 42 miles from milwaukee

00:40:53.463 --> 00:40:54.806
So according to the reports,

00:40:55.286 --> 00:40:56.510
there were no warning

00:40:56.570 --> 00:40:58.673
sounds or signals near the

00:40:58.733 --> 00:41:00.115
crossing that would have

00:41:00.155 --> 00:41:01.860
given Evans a heads up

00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:03.782
before driving over the track.

00:41:04.605 --> 00:41:05.326
Now you say you saw

00:41:05.346 --> 00:41:06.248
somewhere that he was dealt.

00:41:07.509 --> 00:41:08.690
oh that's what he said he

00:41:08.710 --> 00:41:10.570
was deaf on another article

00:41:10.610 --> 00:41:11.831
that I had read that he

00:41:11.851 --> 00:41:12.711
said he's deaf in his life

00:41:12.811 --> 00:41:14.273
okay yeah I see it said

00:41:14.432 --> 00:41:15.893
evans was also caught off

00:41:15.954 --> 00:41:17.795
guard and didn't hear the

00:41:17.855 --> 00:41:19.795
horn due to being dealt in

00:41:19.876 --> 00:41:22.016
his left ear despite this

00:41:22.538 --> 00:41:25.059
he eased far enough over

00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:26.519
the tracks at the last

00:41:26.619 --> 00:41:28.661
second avoiding deadly

00:41:28.721 --> 00:41:33.304
consequences yeah but

00:41:34.990 --> 00:41:37.213
um even being just my

00:41:37.233 --> 00:41:38.893
opinion even being deaf in

00:41:38.914 --> 00:41:40.715
your left ear you would

00:41:40.735 --> 00:41:41.757
think that the train horn

00:41:41.777 --> 00:41:42.978
would still be loud enough

00:41:42.998 --> 00:41:44.159
to be able to still hear it

00:41:44.778 --> 00:41:46.880
in your right ear I didn't

00:41:46.900 --> 00:41:48.981
see just on the side that

00:41:49.061 --> 00:41:50.362
we saw I didn't see

00:41:50.543 --> 00:41:51.543
anything like it was

00:41:51.643 --> 00:41:53.204
covering the tracks where

00:41:53.626 --> 00:41:55.266
he couldn't stop and just

00:41:55.327 --> 00:41:56.827
look both ways even if he

00:41:56.867 --> 00:41:58.630
had to lean up over steering wheel

00:41:59.820 --> 00:42:01.603
but most people don't stop.

00:42:01.643 --> 00:42:03.788
But them M tracks do come quick, though.

00:42:03.807 --> 00:42:04.809
Uh-huh.

00:42:05.538 --> 00:42:06.858
Now, you said most people don't what now?

00:42:07.579 --> 00:42:10.019
Most people don't stop at train tracks.

00:42:10.780 --> 00:42:10.920
Right,

00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:13.280
but we supposed to handicap common sense,

00:42:13.340 --> 00:42:13.601
dude.

00:42:14.121 --> 00:42:14.702
That's true.

00:42:15.161 --> 00:42:16.262
But I'm just saying that

00:42:16.302 --> 00:42:17.663
most people don't stop.

00:42:17.682 --> 00:42:18.523
They just gonna go.

00:42:19.103 --> 00:42:19.483
You know,

00:42:19.503 --> 00:42:21.744
they just gonna drive across

00:42:21.804 --> 00:42:22.425
railroad tracks.

00:42:22.485 --> 00:42:23.826
They don't see anything coming.

00:42:24.306 --> 00:42:24.646
You know,

00:42:24.686 --> 00:42:26.306
you relying on the safety

00:42:26.367 --> 00:42:27.827
measures that are in place.

00:42:28.307 --> 00:42:29.188
You're relying on...

00:42:31.610 --> 00:42:33.210
the crossing arms or the

00:42:33.271 --> 00:42:35.853
flashing lights and hearing a sign.

00:42:35.992 --> 00:42:36.992
I'm hearing the siren.

00:42:37.293 --> 00:42:37.474
Now,

00:42:37.494 --> 00:42:39.574
a lot of those railroad tracks don't

00:42:39.655 --> 00:42:41.936
have the crossing arms,

00:42:41.956 --> 00:42:43.358
but they may have flashing lights.

00:42:43.438 --> 00:42:45.958
But you still should hear the sirens,

00:42:46.018 --> 00:42:47.139
but a lot of people are

00:42:47.179 --> 00:42:48.320
putting their trust in

00:42:48.981 --> 00:42:50.702
those mechanisms working

00:42:50.922 --> 00:42:53.023
when they're supposed to be working.

00:42:53.204 --> 00:42:54.505
And I don't know at that

00:42:54.565 --> 00:42:56.746
particular location if they

00:42:56.806 --> 00:42:58.266
had any of those things.

00:42:58.648 --> 00:42:59.668
He said they didn't have

00:42:59.708 --> 00:43:00.429
those things there.

00:43:01.009 --> 00:43:02.690
you know so that would mean

00:43:02.710 --> 00:43:03.809
that everybody who crossed

00:43:03.829 --> 00:43:05.510
those tracks are supposed

00:43:05.530 --> 00:43:09.311
to look both ways yeah you

00:43:09.351 --> 00:43:10.972
know that right there would

00:43:11.012 --> 00:43:12.472
give everybody a reason to

00:43:12.532 --> 00:43:15.813
start doing that I didn't

00:43:15.833 --> 00:43:16.735
see anywhere where they

00:43:16.755 --> 00:43:17.894
said he was suing or

00:43:17.934 --> 00:43:19.936
anything like that um

00:43:22.467 --> 00:43:24.867
uh let's see uh let's see he

00:43:24.907 --> 00:43:27.769
said I uh I i made a look

00:43:27.989 --> 00:43:29.891
as I was I was going down

00:43:29.931 --> 00:43:32.172
the hill to swerve and I

00:43:32.211 --> 00:43:34.492
didn't see anything he was

00:43:34.813 --> 00:43:36.614
on my left side evans

00:43:36.693 --> 00:43:39.735
explained to wisn literally

00:43:39.994 --> 00:43:42.115
it was like one long beep

00:43:43.056 --> 00:43:44.918
horn from the train and I

00:43:45.277 --> 00:43:47.458
put my foot on the gas kind

00:43:47.518 --> 00:43:49.659
of like trying uh

00:43:50.554 --> 00:43:52.655
i don't know how far I'm

00:43:52.695 --> 00:43:54.817
going to get away from him

00:43:55.516 --> 00:43:59.237
uh that he he he said he

00:43:59.257 --> 00:44:01.039
heard a beat so he but but

00:44:01.059 --> 00:44:01.958
he said he was on deaf in

00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:05.800
one ear right and in that

00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:07.260
left that left ear that he

00:44:07.300 --> 00:44:08.641
got hit on the side he got

00:44:08.661 --> 00:44:10.541
hit on yeah he said he

00:44:10.583 --> 00:44:11.762
heard one long beat

00:44:12.987 --> 00:44:15.489
so I don't know I i don't

00:44:15.528 --> 00:44:16.849
see anywhere in here where

00:44:16.869 --> 00:44:18.532
they like indicating unless

00:44:18.612 --> 00:44:19.833
I missed it that he was

00:44:19.853 --> 00:44:21.014
going to be like pursuing a

00:44:21.074 --> 00:44:27.498
lawsuit uh I don't know you

00:44:27.579 --> 00:44:28.260
know what I'm saying I

00:44:28.300 --> 00:44:29.440
guess they just deemed he

00:44:29.481 --> 00:44:30.681
was their fault you know

00:44:30.742 --> 00:44:32.623
I'm assuming I don't know

00:44:32.664 --> 00:44:33.864
that for a fact yeah

00:44:36.112 --> 00:44:37.514
and at that point he was

00:44:37.554 --> 00:44:40.175
probably so thankful that I

00:44:40.215 --> 00:44:41.275
was about to say damn that

00:44:41.295 --> 00:44:42.336
lawsuit when you go through

00:44:42.356 --> 00:44:43.737
something like that I was

00:44:43.777 --> 00:44:45.018
about to say that he was

00:44:45.038 --> 00:44:46.059
looking at it could have

00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:47.800
been worse that's probably

00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:48.599
what he was looking at it

00:44:48.659 --> 00:44:49.840
could have been worse and

00:44:50.601 --> 00:44:52.041
he just went on ahead and left it alone

00:44:55.389 --> 00:44:57.471
Man, I've been scared two times.

00:44:57.550 --> 00:44:59.331
I've been scared that, you know,

00:44:59.831 --> 00:45:02.213
not only did I get hit, but you know,

00:45:02.273 --> 00:45:03.393
but the time it took for

00:45:03.413 --> 00:45:05.474
the train to go by after it hit him,

00:45:06.094 --> 00:45:07.255
I've been, you know what I'm saying?

00:45:07.295 --> 00:45:09.596
Probably like just wondering, like,

00:45:09.635 --> 00:45:10.356
I hope it ain't gonna

00:45:10.396 --> 00:45:11.617
derail from hitting me.

00:45:12.376 --> 00:45:12.817
Yeah.

00:45:13.097 --> 00:45:14.257
You know what I'm saying?

00:45:14.557 --> 00:45:16.277
You know, you thinking you home free,

00:45:16.338 --> 00:45:16.759
you know?

00:45:17.878 --> 00:45:18.239
Wow.

00:45:18.898 --> 00:45:19.880
That was horrific.

00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:21.440
Yeah.

00:45:21.541 --> 00:45:24.661
Cause usually, uh, on accidents like that,

00:45:25.021 --> 00:45:25.202
well,

00:45:26.786 --> 00:45:27.746
That one wouldn't cause a

00:45:27.786 --> 00:45:30.568
whole lot of damage to, well,

00:45:30.648 --> 00:45:31.469
I can't say what kind of

00:45:31.509 --> 00:45:32.530
damage it would cause to a

00:45:32.630 --> 00:45:33.951
passenger train.

00:45:34.592 --> 00:45:35.192
A freight train,

00:45:35.211 --> 00:45:36.313
it wouldn't cause any damage.

00:45:37.012 --> 00:45:38.835
But a passenger train,

00:45:39.775 --> 00:45:41.737
the passengers that actually on the train,

00:45:42.077 --> 00:45:43.938
they can do a lawsuit if they chose to.

00:45:44.759 --> 00:45:47.320
yeah you know but but but

00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:48.442
like they but they would

00:45:48.481 --> 00:45:49.601
have to sue who at fault

00:45:49.661 --> 00:45:50.842
wouldn't they they would

00:45:50.862 --> 00:45:51.884
have to sue who's at fault

00:45:53.605 --> 00:45:55.847
and if I guess a court

00:45:55.887 --> 00:45:57.327
would determine who's at

00:45:57.367 --> 00:45:59.208
fault like that yeah

00:46:02.311 --> 00:46:05.472
Because I would say this, I'll say this.

00:46:05.931 --> 00:46:08.072
If that train track had

00:46:08.152 --> 00:46:11.693
those warning devices and they could,

00:46:11.733 --> 00:46:12.554
if they could prove that

00:46:12.594 --> 00:46:13.793
those warning devices

00:46:14.514 --> 00:46:15.974
weren't working at the time,

00:46:16.074 --> 00:46:18.076
then the train company

00:46:18.096 --> 00:46:19.596
would be the railroad company.

00:46:19.916 --> 00:46:20.096
Well,

00:46:20.115 --> 00:46:21.876
who owned the tracks on that

00:46:21.956 --> 00:46:23.097
intersection will be at fault.

00:46:23.856 --> 00:46:25.217
Not necessarily Amtrak.

00:46:25.257 --> 00:46:27.418
Whoever runs that portion of

00:46:27.438 --> 00:46:28.518
that track will be at fault.

00:46:29.278 --> 00:46:29.458
Yeah.

00:46:31.777 --> 00:46:32.958
He lucky, but like I say,

00:46:32.978 --> 00:46:34.260
the way the scene looks,

00:46:34.420 --> 00:46:35.960
it looks like it was open

00:46:36.021 --> 00:46:37.481
enough where he could have saw,

00:46:38.342 --> 00:46:40.603
you know what I'm saying?

00:46:40.764 --> 00:46:42.684
It just seemed like he, you know, like he,

00:46:42.804 --> 00:46:43.684
you know, like you said,

00:46:43.704 --> 00:46:45.586
it seemed like he just went

00:46:45.646 --> 00:46:46.286
on across the street,

00:46:46.306 --> 00:46:47.987
like a slight pause and

00:46:48.347 --> 00:46:49.688
skirt on across the, you know,

00:46:49.708 --> 00:46:52.010
the Amazon drive, you know how they roll.

00:46:53.706 --> 00:46:56.409
And the way I was looking at that video,

00:46:56.809 --> 00:46:57.911
he had on a big coat,

00:46:58.572 --> 00:46:59.954
which kind of prevents you

00:46:59.994 --> 00:47:01.635
from just really looking,

00:47:01.715 --> 00:47:02.878
turning and looking to the left.

00:47:03.878 --> 00:47:04.820
As he was turning,

00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:06.141
I never really seen him

00:47:06.181 --> 00:47:07.704
just really look down the tracks.

00:47:08.590 --> 00:47:09.710
well before he got to the

00:47:09.750 --> 00:47:10.530
tracks it didn't look it

00:47:10.550 --> 00:47:11.371
didn't appear that he just

00:47:11.411 --> 00:47:12.130
really looked down the

00:47:12.170 --> 00:47:13.351
track until he started

00:47:13.431 --> 00:47:14.791
crossing them and you seen

00:47:14.811 --> 00:47:15.952
him look to his left and he

00:47:15.972 --> 00:47:18.313
seen that train coming

00:47:18.353 --> 00:47:19.193
that's what he went over

00:47:19.213 --> 00:47:20.673
here and tried to get on it

00:47:20.693 --> 00:47:22.054
but at that point it was a

00:47:22.074 --> 00:47:28.336
little too late well thank

00:47:28.376 --> 00:47:30.898
god he's okay you know but

00:47:31.398 --> 00:47:33.039
uh people it's okay to

00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:35.920
pause at a at an intersection

00:47:37.222 --> 00:47:40.704
At a railroad track, it's okay to pause.

00:47:40.764 --> 00:47:41.385
Both ways.

00:47:42.146 --> 00:47:43.266
I'm telling you, I mean,

00:47:43.306 --> 00:47:45.728
them few little seconds is

00:47:45.807 --> 00:47:47.429
not going to make you or break you.

00:47:47.650 --> 00:47:47.929
I mean,

00:47:47.949 --> 00:47:49.030
if you're on your way to work and

00:47:49.070 --> 00:47:50.771
you lose a job behind a few

00:47:50.851 --> 00:47:53.012
minutes for taking safety precautions,

00:47:53.054 --> 00:47:54.795
you ain't need that damn job no way.

00:47:55.414 --> 00:47:55.574
No.

00:47:59.516 --> 00:48:02.077
When I became a bus driver,

00:48:02.318 --> 00:48:04.278
I was doing my training to

00:48:04.318 --> 00:48:05.199
be a bus driver.

00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:06.639
That's one of the things

00:48:06.699 --> 00:48:08.699
that they had taught us was

00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:10.240
even if you got the green

00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:11.601
light going through an intersection,

00:48:12.141 --> 00:48:12.840
look both ways.

00:48:13.282 --> 00:48:14.922
Somebody could be running a green light.

00:48:15.081 --> 00:48:16.922
I mean, running a red light on their side.

00:48:17.742 --> 00:48:18.583
So you want to be able to

00:48:18.623 --> 00:48:20.706
look both ways to at least

00:48:21.786 --> 00:48:24.108
minimize the chances of an accident.

00:48:25.248 --> 00:48:25.369
Right.

00:48:25.489 --> 00:48:26.550
And you do the same thing

00:48:26.590 --> 00:48:27.891
with railroad tracks.

00:48:28.231 --> 00:48:30.293
Even if there aren't any flashing lights,

00:48:30.333 --> 00:48:31.934
there aren't any crossing arms,

00:48:32.355 --> 00:48:34.717
you don't see the signs of a train,

00:48:35.197 --> 00:48:36.038
just look both ways.

00:48:36.077 --> 00:48:36.599
You never know.

00:48:37.739 --> 00:48:38.039
Right.

00:48:39.420 --> 00:48:40.302
right because I know

00:48:40.382 --> 00:48:42.702
everybody got something to

00:48:42.822 --> 00:48:44.603
do the next day besides

00:48:44.724 --> 00:48:47.686
dying today that's a good

00:48:47.706 --> 00:48:49.186
one you know yeah I know

00:48:49.748 --> 00:48:51.128
yeah just just just just

00:48:51.188 --> 00:48:52.289
let that marinate and

00:48:52.329 --> 00:48:53.409
hopefully that'll make

00:48:53.429 --> 00:48:54.710
everybody take their time

00:48:54.731 --> 00:48:55.911
because life is so precious

00:48:55.931 --> 00:48:57.351
you don't get but one and

00:48:57.391 --> 00:48:58.273
if you don't think about

00:48:58.313 --> 00:48:59.253

00:49:48.952 --> 00:49:49.913
Down at the bottom.

00:49:53.876 --> 00:49:54.197
right here.

00:49:54.217 --> 00:49:56.880
Right here.

00:49:57.001 --> 00:49:58.782
Exactly.

00:49:58.963 --> 00:49:59.782
Exactly.

00:50:00.023 --> 00:50:00.583
Exactly.

00:50:00.643 --> 00:50:01.945
Please do support us.

00:50:01.965 --> 00:50:03.047
You know, we want to be heard.

00:50:04.271 --> 00:50:06.594
So, yeah, this bill that came across,

00:50:08.454 --> 00:50:10.295
found out about it today, is in Illinois.

00:50:10.996 --> 00:50:13.518
And so it's a transgender bill.

00:50:13.998 --> 00:50:15.239
And so this bill, it says,

00:50:15.340 --> 00:50:16.561
Illinois would define

00:50:16.681 --> 00:50:20.123
parents as abusers for

00:50:20.163 --> 00:50:23.105
denying gender-affirming services.

00:50:24.005 --> 00:50:26.146
And those who may not know what that is...

00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:30.561
Gender affirming services is

00:50:30.641 --> 00:50:35.164
basically allowing your child,

00:50:35.605 --> 00:50:36.726
now I got to get what the

00:50:36.965 --> 00:50:38.887
age limit is or the minimum

00:50:39.047 --> 00:50:41.728
age on this is, but allowing your child,

00:50:42.409 --> 00:50:44.170
they would have their own consent.

00:50:45.304 --> 00:50:48.927
to have transgender drugs,

00:50:49.788 --> 00:50:51.648
surgical procedures like

00:50:52.068 --> 00:50:55.291
penis or breast removal and

00:50:55.452 --> 00:50:57.193
any type of medical

00:50:57.253 --> 00:50:59.914
services for a transgender.

00:51:00.914 --> 00:51:02.815
But if you denied them,

00:51:03.297 --> 00:51:04.297
according to this bill,

00:51:04.818 --> 00:51:07.338
if you denied them those

00:51:07.398 --> 00:51:08.840
gender affirming services,

00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:11.362
then as a parent,

00:51:12.461 --> 00:51:14.664
They'll label you under this new bill.

00:51:15.123 --> 00:51:17.626
They'll label you as an abuser,

00:51:18.487 --> 00:51:19.407
as an abusive parent.

00:51:20.648 --> 00:51:21.989
And so basically being

00:51:22.028 --> 00:51:23.070
labeled as an abusive

00:51:23.130 --> 00:51:24.010
parent in the state of

00:51:24.070 --> 00:51:25.612
Illinois means that you can

00:51:25.672 --> 00:51:26.853
lose custody of your children.

00:51:28.313 --> 00:51:29.074
and other things.

00:51:29.114 --> 00:51:31.317
So this is something... Now,

00:51:31.456 --> 00:51:32.438
a bill is just that.

00:51:32.637 --> 00:51:34.639
This is just a lawmaker or

00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:36.161
lawmakers coming up with

00:51:37.663 --> 00:51:38.623
something that they want to

00:51:38.664 --> 00:51:39.525
sign into law.

00:51:39.885 --> 00:51:41.327
It still has to be voted on.

00:51:41.726 --> 00:51:42.768
And so those people who are

00:51:42.788 --> 00:51:43.768
in the state of Illinois...

00:51:46.550 --> 00:51:47.672
I will speak out against this.

00:51:48.913 --> 00:51:50.114
Or at least voice your

00:51:50.393 --> 00:51:51.875
opinions or your concerns

00:51:52.414 --> 00:51:53.556
on this issue if you don't

00:51:53.596 --> 00:51:54.536
know anything about it.

00:51:54.876 --> 00:51:59.280
Because if this bill is passed in Illinois,

00:51:59.300 --> 00:52:01.661
then what other states around it,

00:52:01.961 --> 00:52:02.822
it would take precedence,

00:52:02.862 --> 00:52:04.043
what other states around it

00:52:04.784 --> 00:52:05.884
will begin to follow suit.

00:52:09.306 --> 00:52:09.567
Well...

00:52:11.115 --> 00:52:12.840
i I i want to make this

00:52:12.940 --> 00:52:15.764
clear I have no phobia

00:52:16.246 --> 00:52:19.733
whatsoever so what I'm

00:52:19.753 --> 00:52:21.315
about to say is just how I

00:52:21.356 --> 00:52:23.219
feel now I feel that anybody should do

00:52:24.016 --> 00:52:25.836
should be able to do what

00:52:25.876 --> 00:52:28.559
they want to do as an adult

00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:30.320
when you start messing with

00:52:30.380 --> 00:52:31.920
these children I don't I

00:52:31.940 --> 00:52:33.882
don't like that because we

00:52:33.922 --> 00:52:35.483
living in this narrative

00:52:35.563 --> 00:52:39.505
that uh I was born to be a

00:52:39.585 --> 00:52:42.007
girl if you was born a boy

00:52:42.027 --> 00:52:42.927
you know we live in that

00:52:42.967 --> 00:52:44.429
kind of narrative now I've

00:52:44.449 --> 00:52:47.050
seen now I live by this

00:52:47.150 --> 00:52:48.510
creed if you know if I

00:52:48.530 --> 00:52:51.092
could call it you know the creed that

00:52:51.949 --> 00:52:53.990
okay a child is a product of

00:52:54.010 --> 00:52:59.197
they surround now if you have a child

00:53:01.177 --> 00:53:03.338
that's that that that has

00:53:03.438 --> 00:53:04.878
parents of the same sex or

00:53:04.918 --> 00:53:06.840
has a parent that's dating

00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:08.539
the same sex it's a high

00:53:08.619 --> 00:53:10.221
possibility if that child

00:53:10.300 --> 00:53:11.541
growing up seeing that

00:53:11.621 --> 00:53:12.380
they're going to think

00:53:12.481 --> 00:53:14.382
that's normal now I know we

00:53:14.402 --> 00:53:15.641
living in a world now where

00:53:15.722 --> 00:53:17.182
we say that that's normal

00:53:17.422 --> 00:53:19.003
I'm from the world it's not

00:53:19.103 --> 00:53:20.963
normal for two people of

00:53:21.003 --> 00:53:22.605
the same sex to be together

00:53:22.664 --> 00:53:23.425
I just feel like it's

00:53:23.445 --> 00:53:24.804
deceptive today because the

00:53:24.864 --> 00:53:26.766
world is advancing and I'm

00:53:26.826 --> 00:53:28.186
okay with that I'm just not

00:53:28.365 --> 00:53:29.586
okay with it being

00:53:30.507 --> 00:53:32.708
such a flamboyant movement

00:53:33.548 --> 00:53:34.889
I'm not okay with that you

00:53:34.949 --> 00:53:36.992
know because uh even though

00:53:37.072 --> 00:53:39.172
you may be gay or whatever

00:53:39.592 --> 00:53:41.193
you don't have to be all

00:53:41.715 --> 00:53:43.916
all loved up in in public

00:53:43.976 --> 00:53:45.777
like that I mean and and to

00:53:45.858 --> 00:53:46.777
me that's just having

00:53:46.818 --> 00:53:47.918
respect for the children

00:53:48.780 --> 00:53:50.201
you know because you need

00:53:50.221 --> 00:53:51.621
to give them an opportunity

00:53:51.661 --> 00:53:54.143
to find themselves besides

00:53:54.282 --> 00:53:55.884
mimicking what they see and

00:53:56.144 --> 00:53:57.585
and I really feel like

00:53:58.393 --> 00:53:59.773
that's part of the problem

00:53:59.833 --> 00:54:01.074
on that so I i don't like

00:54:01.114 --> 00:54:02.536
that bill you know when

00:54:02.556 --> 00:54:03.456
they start messing with

00:54:03.496 --> 00:54:04.677
these children you telling

00:54:04.697 --> 00:54:06.639
parents they're abusers

00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:07.338
that's got to be the

00:54:07.418 --> 00:54:08.900
craziest thing that you can

00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:10.860
hear and see keep in mind

00:54:11.141 --> 00:54:12.402
this is election year

00:54:12.702 --> 00:54:14.364
they're only I feel like

00:54:14.403 --> 00:54:15.224
for the most part they

00:54:15.244 --> 00:54:16.545
probably only doing this to

00:54:16.585 --> 00:54:18.867
placate toward the lgbtq

00:54:18.907 --> 00:54:20.447
community for votes

00:54:22.269 --> 00:54:23.710
that's all that is and you

00:54:23.751 --> 00:54:25.813
know and and and again like

00:54:25.853 --> 00:54:27.313
I say I have no phobia I

00:54:27.353 --> 00:54:28.393
have nothing against

00:54:28.974 --> 00:54:31.295
anybody who's homosexual by

00:54:31.396 --> 00:54:33.898
bisexual uh they identify

00:54:33.978 --> 00:54:36.079
as binary non-binary I i

00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:37.400
don't have anything against

00:54:37.420 --> 00:54:38.161
that I'm just a

00:54:38.221 --> 00:54:40.123
heterosexual male that's

00:54:40.182 --> 00:54:41.824
entitled to my belief on

00:54:41.864 --> 00:54:43.824
how I view things now if

00:54:43.844 --> 00:54:46.266
you know my children you know were uh

00:54:47.106 --> 00:54:49.407
uh uh gay or whatever yeah

00:54:49.507 --> 00:54:50.668
of course I would accept

00:54:50.708 --> 00:54:51.807
them because you know when

00:54:51.827 --> 00:54:52.807
you look at your children

00:54:52.847 --> 00:54:53.728
you're supposed to still

00:54:53.748 --> 00:54:55.088
see that baby that came out

00:54:55.128 --> 00:54:56.608
the womb no matter how old

00:54:56.628 --> 00:54:58.389
and ugly they get so you

00:54:58.449 --> 00:54:59.570
know of course I'm going to

00:54:59.590 --> 00:55:00.769
you know I'm saying accept

00:55:00.809 --> 00:55:02.590
them will I agree with

00:55:02.630 --> 00:55:04.510
their lifestyle choices in

00:55:04.650 --> 00:55:05.911
in that sense probably most

00:55:05.971 --> 00:55:07.510
likely not but I wouldn't

00:55:07.550 --> 00:55:09.512
just ridicule them and keep

00:55:09.532 --> 00:55:10.552
them down for that right

00:55:11.311 --> 00:55:12.512
if they feel like that's who

00:55:12.552 --> 00:55:13.994
they are and that's who they want to be.

00:55:14.373 --> 00:55:15.594
Just understand that if

00:55:15.614 --> 00:55:17.295
you're going through an experiment,

00:55:17.695 --> 00:55:19.036
there's no turning back.

00:55:19.536 --> 00:55:20.416
Be prepared to get

00:55:20.597 --> 00:55:22.577
counseling if you just out

00:55:22.597 --> 00:55:23.579
here experimenting,

00:55:23.619 --> 00:55:24.860
trying to find your way,

00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:27.041
because people who do that

00:55:27.121 --> 00:55:29.541
can eventually possibly end

00:55:29.601 --> 00:55:31.003
up with some kind of trauma

00:55:31.943 --> 00:55:33.485
behind their experimenting

00:55:33.525 --> 00:55:35.485
because they're trying what

00:55:35.606 --> 00:55:37.067
they see in other people do.

00:55:38.306 --> 00:55:39.268
you know that's the thing

00:55:39.309 --> 00:55:40.789
about that transgender

00:55:40.809 --> 00:55:42.592
stuff is no why not allow

00:55:42.612 --> 00:55:43.773
to wait until the children

00:55:43.813 --> 00:55:45.755
are grown and let them do

00:55:45.976 --> 00:55:46.737
make that make that

00:55:46.797 --> 00:55:49.181
decision then don't start

00:55:49.221 --> 00:55:50.342
giving your child uh

00:55:52.452 --> 00:55:54.753
with hormones and you know

00:55:54.793 --> 00:55:56.152
when they're young you know

00:55:56.213 --> 00:55:57.172
you're doing hormone or

00:55:57.213 --> 00:55:58.713
doing sex changes when

00:55:58.733 --> 00:56:00.934
they're young you know uh a

00:56:01.014 --> 00:56:02.373
child changes they mind a

00:56:02.434 --> 00:56:03.514
hundred different times by

00:56:03.534 --> 00:56:05.315
the time they 18 one minute

00:56:05.335 --> 00:56:06.355
they when they were small

00:56:06.376 --> 00:56:07.016
they wanted to be an

00:56:07.135 --> 00:56:09.295
astronaut a police officer

00:56:09.315 --> 00:56:10.275
and then that next thing to

00:56:10.315 --> 00:56:11.317
change they may want to be

00:56:11.356 --> 00:56:12.737
a basketball player then

00:56:12.777 --> 00:56:14.878
later on they just want to

00:56:14.918 --> 00:56:17.617
live life you know so you

00:56:17.637 --> 00:56:18.338
got to give them that

00:56:18.438 --> 00:56:20.219
opportunity as they get older

00:56:20.682 --> 00:56:21.487
when they're grown,

00:56:21.507 --> 00:56:22.251
where they can make that

00:56:22.291 --> 00:56:24.320
decision exclusively on their own.

00:56:25.190 --> 00:56:26.172
Right, right.

00:56:26.271 --> 00:56:26.891
And you know what I'm saying?

00:56:26.911 --> 00:56:29.594
That also, you know, I feel like,

00:56:29.793 --> 00:56:31.014
and don't get me wrong,

00:56:31.135 --> 00:56:32.115
I understand we're living

00:56:32.155 --> 00:56:34.137
in different times, but still,

00:56:34.436 --> 00:56:35.597
like with these commercials,

00:56:35.878 --> 00:56:37.820
I don't feel like we have to do that.

00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:39.460
You know, we shouldn't have to do that.

00:56:39.780 --> 00:56:43.023
I mean, okay, people are gay,

00:56:43.123 --> 00:56:45.244
they're non-binary, they're binary,

00:56:45.264 --> 00:56:46.606
they're homosexual, they're trans,

00:56:46.646 --> 00:56:46.965
whatever.

00:56:47.385 --> 00:56:48.306
Okay, that's good.

00:56:48.907 --> 00:56:51.409
It don't have to be pushed on everybody.

00:56:51.969 --> 00:56:53.110
No, I don't agree with that.

00:56:53.630 --> 00:56:54.090
Yes.

00:56:54.929 --> 00:56:55.909
talking about it being

00:56:55.949 --> 00:56:57.451
pushed yeah the way they

00:56:57.471 --> 00:56:59.032
doing oh yeah yeah you know

00:56:59.052 --> 00:56:59.731
what I'm saying we don't

00:56:59.771 --> 00:57:02.414
have to turn on regular tv

00:57:02.434 --> 00:57:03.554
and see a commercial two

00:57:03.635 --> 00:57:05.615
men kissing and being

00:57:05.755 --> 00:57:07.137
intimate like that I i mean

00:57:07.177 --> 00:57:08.958
I think that's wrong I mean

00:57:08.978 --> 00:57:10.920
I i don't I don't care

00:57:11.820 --> 00:57:13.400
hopefully nobody gets mad

00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:15.121
at me about my belief like

00:57:15.163 --> 00:57:18.023
I said I'm not uh uh uh

00:57:18.525 --> 00:57:20.286
ridiculing anyone for their

00:57:20.306 --> 00:57:21.226
beliefs if that's what they

00:57:21.246 --> 00:57:22.347
want to be I mean that's

00:57:22.387 --> 00:57:23.628
just not my taste but I

00:57:23.668 --> 00:57:24.668
don't think it have to be

00:57:24.989 --> 00:57:27.530
pushed like that you know

00:57:27.791 --> 00:57:28.952
and and I'm willing to

00:57:28.992 --> 00:57:30.413
debate with anybody on the

00:57:30.432 --> 00:57:31.653
show about it if you want

00:57:31.673 --> 00:57:34.476

00:57:37.659 --> 00:57:38.840

we won't mute you the only

00:57:43.362 --> 00:57:44.583
thing that I would ask is

00:57:44.623 --> 00:57:45.844
that you know just keep it

00:57:45.885 --> 00:57:46.945
respectful let's have a

00:57:46.985 --> 00:57:48.547
respectful dialogue even

00:57:48.586 --> 00:57:49.947
though we may disagree

00:57:51.146 --> 00:57:52.909
You know, give each other time to talk.

00:57:52.949 --> 00:57:55.052
Let's not make it an argument, you know.

00:57:55.253 --> 00:57:56.755
But it could just be a simple discussion.

00:57:57.096 --> 00:57:58.016
Come on in, you know,

00:57:58.036 --> 00:57:58.878
in the truckers' lounge.

00:57:58.918 --> 00:57:59.960
We ain't here in the lounge

00:58:00.021 --> 00:58:00.882
chilling anyway.

00:58:02.525 --> 00:58:03.626
You know, so when we here,

00:58:03.706 --> 00:58:04.949
we love to talk.

00:58:06.431 --> 00:58:07.411
Man, I got this story.

00:58:07.431 --> 00:58:08.132
I don't know if I ever

00:58:08.192 --> 00:58:09.012
shared this with you.

00:58:09.092 --> 00:58:11.014
I have to tell you about my time.

00:58:11.074 --> 00:58:11.974
I spent the weekend in

00:58:12.014 --> 00:58:15.117
Seattle one year doing Pride Fest.

00:58:15.617 --> 00:58:17.097
Yeah, I think you did,

00:58:17.137 --> 00:58:18.039
but I vaguely remember.

00:58:18.059 --> 00:58:19.340
But share it with the people, though.

00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:21.541
Yeah, man, so back in 2016,

00:58:21.541 --> 00:58:24.342
I was running the road, and I had a load.

00:58:24.483 --> 00:58:27.684
I got in Seattle back in, like,

00:58:27.744 --> 00:58:30.726
on a Friday evening, and it was my habit.

00:58:31.268 --> 00:58:32.467
Then I said, okay,

00:58:32.889 --> 00:58:33.949
whenever I would get into a

00:58:33.989 --> 00:58:35.070
town that I'm going to be

00:58:35.090 --> 00:58:36.030
there for the weekend,

00:58:36.510 --> 00:58:38.192
I'm going to make the most

00:58:38.271 --> 00:58:39.213
of it for the weekend.

00:58:39.273 --> 00:58:40.173
I'm at a truck stop.

00:58:40.574 --> 00:58:42.394
So I plan out my weekend.

00:58:42.454 --> 00:58:43.335
So I planned out.

00:58:43.416 --> 00:58:45.956
I learned the bus system for Seattle,

00:58:46.157 --> 00:58:47.378
that Seattle area,

00:58:47.858 --> 00:58:49.179
which I was actually in Tacoma.

00:58:49.539 --> 00:58:50.900
I think that's Tacoma at the

00:58:50.940 --> 00:58:51.960
Love's truck stop there.

00:58:52.362 --> 00:58:52.862
But anyway,

00:58:54.262 --> 00:58:55.983
I saw there was a bus stop like

00:58:56.023 --> 00:58:56.784
a mile away.

00:58:57.144 --> 00:58:58.465
I walked to the bus stop and

00:58:58.485 --> 00:58:59.485
I got to the bus stop.

00:58:59.505 --> 00:59:00.327
This is a Saturday.

00:59:01.059 --> 00:59:02.880
bus stop was filled with

00:59:02.900 --> 00:59:04.501
people and I'm like dang I

00:59:04.521 --> 00:59:05.563
ain't never known bus stop

00:59:05.583 --> 00:59:07.063
be this many people that

00:59:07.184 --> 00:59:08.945
they deep down there so

00:59:08.965 --> 00:59:09.846
there's a lot of people and

00:59:09.865 --> 00:59:11.487
they they got face paint

00:59:11.648 --> 00:59:13.289
rainbow face paint and me I

00:59:13.329 --> 00:59:14.389
was just clueless I didn't

00:59:14.409 --> 00:59:15.351
know what was going on but

00:59:15.371 --> 00:59:16.371
they had a rainbow you

00:59:16.411 --> 00:59:17.431
didn't know what the

00:59:17.452 --> 00:59:19.653
symbols meant exactly I

00:59:19.693 --> 00:59:20.675
just didn't pay attention

00:59:20.715 --> 00:59:22.376
to it they had rainbow face

00:59:22.436 --> 00:59:23.237
paint I'm thinking there's

00:59:23.257 --> 00:59:24.318
a festival going on they

00:59:24.358 --> 00:59:25.358
just get their face painted

00:59:26.460 --> 00:59:27.701
So rainbow face paint,

00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:29.702
rainbow ribbons and

00:59:29.882 --> 00:59:34.646
wristbands and all that type of stuff.

00:59:34.686 --> 00:59:36.989
So we got on the bus to go downtown.

00:59:37.009 --> 00:59:38.110
I just wanted to go downtown

00:59:38.130 --> 00:59:38.911
to just sightsee.

00:59:39.210 --> 00:59:41.273
$6 to get on the bus to go downtown.

00:59:41.833 --> 00:59:42.434
Got on the bus.

00:59:42.534 --> 00:59:43.896
It was standing only.

00:59:43.916 --> 00:59:44.775
I had to stand up because

00:59:44.815 --> 00:59:46.318
the bus was filled with people.

00:59:47.065 --> 00:59:48.985
right get downtown other

00:59:49.025 --> 00:59:49.947

00:59:53.108 --> 00:59:55.070
you know I get down there I

00:59:55.110 --> 00:59:56.510

00:59:56.530 --> 00:59:57.592
dang they got a festival

00:59:57.612 --> 00:59:59.552
going on I said okay I said

00:59:59.592 --> 01:00:00.693
I can get some good food

01:00:00.733 --> 01:00:02.534
and everything I can walk

01:00:02.614 --> 01:00:03.695
up that hill get up that

01:00:03.735 --> 01:00:05.836
street uh they on the phone

01:00:07.481 --> 01:00:09.362
Everybody wearing what you

01:00:09.402 --> 01:00:10.402
call them type of clothes,

01:00:10.422 --> 01:00:12.364
but everybody was wearing

01:00:12.503 --> 01:00:13.563
all types of clothes.

01:00:13.963 --> 01:00:14.244
Drag.

01:00:14.304 --> 01:00:14.384
Drag.

01:00:14.423 --> 01:00:15.364
That's what I'm looking for.

01:00:15.824 --> 01:00:18.385
Man, dude with face paint.

01:00:18.885 --> 01:00:21.347
I seen old dudes, man,

01:00:21.387 --> 01:00:24.748
walking around with drag faces and drags.

01:00:25.891 --> 01:00:30.494
Jeans skirts on with old man tennis shoes,

01:00:30.514 --> 01:00:31.514
you know, them British Knights.

01:00:32.295 --> 01:00:33.594
Right, right.

01:00:33.815 --> 01:00:36.097
I was like, golly.

01:00:36.637 --> 01:00:39.117
And so the street was so full.

01:00:39.918 --> 01:00:41.159
I seen that they had a float

01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:41.719
and everything.

01:00:41.760 --> 01:00:42.920
They had a big sign saying,

01:00:43.581 --> 01:00:44.420
welcome to pride.

01:00:45.222 --> 01:00:46.101
I said, all right.

01:00:46.842 --> 01:00:48.342
And so I started Googling stuff,

01:00:48.603 --> 01:00:50.224
and I'm in the middle of a pride fest.

01:00:50.244 --> 01:00:51.684
Because, see, I went downtown.

01:00:52.126 --> 01:00:53.146
I was going to go to the

01:00:53.206 --> 01:00:54.166
Seattle Space Needle.

01:00:55.568 --> 01:00:56.550
I wanted to go to the top.

01:00:56.891 --> 01:00:58.331
But that street was so

01:00:59.132 --> 01:01:00.753
packed with people

01:01:00.994 --> 01:01:04.777
celebrating and kissing out in the open.

01:01:05.418 --> 01:01:07.539
And just, I was like, God.

01:01:07.619 --> 01:01:09.201
I mean, I'm like, I'm looking.

01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:09.601
I mean,

01:01:09.641 --> 01:01:11.443
you literally had to squeeze

01:01:11.842 --> 01:01:12.384
through people.

01:01:12.403 --> 01:01:13.545
I was like, man, they everywhere.

01:01:14.284 --> 01:01:15.106
How long were you there

01:01:15.126 --> 01:01:16.867
before you caught on what was going on?

01:01:18.528 --> 01:01:19.329
It didn't take long.

01:01:20.010 --> 01:01:21.411
Once I got up on that street

01:01:22.012 --> 01:01:22.811
and I've started...

01:01:23.891 --> 01:01:24.492
It was a guy.

01:01:24.934 --> 01:01:26.536
He was talking, you know,

01:01:26.597 --> 01:01:27.938
talking about the firemen.

01:01:27.998 --> 01:01:30.664
And he, you know, he was gay, of course.

01:01:30.963 --> 01:01:33.208
And the way he was talking, very feminine.

01:01:33.737 --> 01:01:34.577
Then next thing I know,

01:01:34.637 --> 01:01:36.619
I seen two women over there

01:01:36.659 --> 01:01:39.039
just kissing out in the open.

01:01:39.059 --> 01:01:39.300
Right.

01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:41.601
So it was already going on around you.

01:01:41.681 --> 01:01:42.481
You just didn't pay

01:01:42.541 --> 01:01:43.541
attention until you heard

01:01:43.581 --> 01:01:44.563
that conversation.

01:01:44.963 --> 01:01:46.344
Then you started looking around.

01:01:46.384 --> 01:01:47.784
Your senses started kicking in.

01:01:47.965 --> 01:01:49.666
I started looking and everything.

01:01:50.865 --> 01:01:53.047
You had a Christian group down there.

01:01:53.068 --> 01:01:53.788
They had a sign.

01:01:54.228 --> 01:01:56.168
saying jesus loves you this

01:01:56.248 --> 01:01:58.128
isn't right I i still

01:01:58.148 --> 01:01:59.088
didn't pay attention I

01:01:59.108 --> 01:01:59.889
didn't know what was going

01:01:59.909 --> 01:02:00.688
on I just thinking they

01:02:00.708 --> 01:02:01.829
were just street preachers

01:02:02.469 --> 01:02:03.250
you know what I'm saying

01:02:03.769 --> 01:02:05.771
until you had a couple two

01:02:05.831 --> 01:02:07.311
women they walked in front

01:02:07.331 --> 01:02:08.271
of their sign they read it

01:02:08.630 --> 01:02:09.231
and they just started

01:02:09.271 --> 01:02:11.431
kissing each other in front

01:02:11.452 --> 01:02:13.032
of it so they had

01:02:13.112 --> 01:02:14.331
christians out there trying

01:02:14.353 --> 01:02:16.052
to deter them like anti-protest

01:02:16.813 --> 01:02:17.012
Right.

01:02:17.934 --> 01:02:18.333
Yeah.

01:02:19.135 --> 01:02:21.775
And so I was able to get

01:02:22.115 --> 01:02:23.356
through and I ended up

01:02:23.396 --> 01:02:24.498
going on the next street.

01:02:25.378 --> 01:02:27.980
And it's surprising to me.

01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:30.280
The route that I was taking

01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:33.382
was the route of the festival,

01:02:33.682 --> 01:02:35.164
of the parade that was going on.

01:02:35.503 --> 01:02:37.224
And I was like, man,

01:02:37.806 --> 01:02:38.806
I can't get away from it.

01:02:40.168 --> 01:02:41.489
Well, did you have a good time?

01:02:42.268 --> 01:02:45.391
I had a good time, you know, because... Yo,

01:02:45.452 --> 01:02:45.811
go ahead.

01:02:46.432 --> 01:02:47.472
I said I had a good time

01:02:47.534 --> 01:02:50.275
because the things that I was doing,

01:02:50.695 --> 01:02:51.717
like I said, they didn't bother me.

01:02:51.797 --> 01:02:53.478
Didn't nobody try to hit on me.

01:02:53.797 --> 01:02:54.679
Didn't nobody call,

01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:56.079
wasn't nobody catcalling.

01:02:56.641 --> 01:02:58.181
Nobody called me out my name.

01:02:58.746 --> 01:03:00.949
I came down there to do what I wanted.

01:03:01.010 --> 01:03:01.451
None of that.

01:03:01.530 --> 01:03:02.072
No, not at all.

01:03:02.092 --> 01:03:03.052
You know what I'm saying?

01:03:03.094 --> 01:03:05.097
Because I know one time that was the call.

01:03:05.918 --> 01:03:07.159
Oh, yeah?

01:03:07.260 --> 01:03:08.362
Okay.

01:03:08.503 --> 01:03:09.824
Yeah, my neighborhood.

01:03:10.144 --> 01:03:10.266
Yeah.

01:03:12.650 --> 01:03:14.193
yeah so I end up going down

01:03:14.233 --> 01:03:15.934
there man pay my money they

01:03:15.974 --> 01:03:17.255
go up to the top of the

01:03:17.655 --> 01:03:18.916
that space needle and you

01:03:18.956 --> 01:03:21.538

01:03:21.577 --> 01:03:23.119
didn't let it deter me I

01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:25.000
had a good time yeah but

01:03:25.079 --> 01:03:25.981
you know because that's

01:03:26.001 --> 01:03:27.242
what I wanted to say like

01:03:27.442 --> 01:03:28.922
now my experience with gay

01:03:28.943 --> 01:03:30.965
people they know how to have a good time

01:03:31.385 --> 01:03:32.485
they well they know how to

01:03:32.545 --> 01:03:34.326
party yeah you don't say

01:03:34.346 --> 01:03:36.646
just those flamboyant I'm

01:03:36.666 --> 01:03:37.748
not gonna say flamboyant

01:03:38.188 --> 01:03:40.009
the reckless ones who don't

01:03:40.068 --> 01:03:41.690
have that level of respect

01:03:41.769 --> 01:03:42.769
thinking they could turn

01:03:42.829 --> 01:03:44.331
somebody out they're the

01:03:44.471 --> 01:03:45.731
ones I got a problem with

01:03:46.672 --> 01:03:48.413
them the ones I have a real

01:03:48.452 --> 01:03:49.913
bad problem with and they

01:03:49.972 --> 01:03:52.815
cause like anxiety you know

01:03:52.974 --> 01:03:54.474
amongst people who's trying

01:03:54.534 --> 01:03:55.675
to accept their culture and

01:03:55.695 --> 01:03:57.036
they run across somebody of

01:03:57.077 --> 01:03:58.436
their community that's

01:03:58.697 --> 01:03:59.938
that's really a predator

01:04:01.666 --> 01:04:03.347
yeah so that's the problem

01:04:03.367 --> 01:04:04.807
but but yeah overall man

01:04:04.827 --> 01:04:06.307
they they know how to have

01:04:06.347 --> 01:04:08.329
a good time them white

01:04:08.369 --> 01:04:10.690
people they know how to

01:04:10.730 --> 01:04:12.750
have a good time I mean I

01:04:13.030 --> 01:04:15.130
that far as hanging out and

01:04:15.190 --> 01:04:19.592
clubbing being amongst white people

01:04:20.824 --> 01:04:22.547
and and and and I don't give

01:04:22.567 --> 01:04:23.507
a damn what my brothers and

01:04:23.527 --> 01:04:24.648
sisters said about this all

01:04:24.668 --> 01:04:25.409
right you know what you

01:04:25.429 --> 01:04:26.931
said you want to say being

01:04:26.972 --> 01:04:28.554
amongst white people and

01:04:28.773 --> 01:04:30.155
and and people in the gay

01:04:30.195 --> 01:04:31.956
community you have a good

01:04:32.097 --> 01:04:33.159
time where you're not

01:04:33.219 --> 01:04:34.039
feeling like you're in

01:04:34.139 --> 01:04:35.942
danger none of that kind of

01:04:35.961 --> 01:04:36.862
stuff I mean you have a

01:04:36.902 --> 01:04:39.144
good time around and that's

01:04:39.266 --> 01:04:39.985
and that's one of the

01:04:40.025 --> 01:04:41.407
things I can always say is

01:04:44.284 --> 01:04:45.704
A lot of people aren't open

01:04:45.804 --> 01:04:47.106
to doing things differently,

01:04:47.545 --> 01:04:49.206
which is why that was one

01:04:49.246 --> 01:04:50.226
of the things I did because

01:04:50.266 --> 01:04:51.887
I was by myself and I had a

01:04:51.907 --> 01:04:53.949
good time around.

01:04:54.028 --> 01:04:55.929
I didn't go there to kick it with nobody,

01:04:56.550 --> 01:04:57.771
but I was just there just

01:04:57.811 --> 01:04:58.871
doing my own thing.

01:04:59.251 --> 01:05:00.833
But everybody that I was around,

01:05:01.994 --> 01:05:04.114
everybody was friendly and

01:05:04.155 --> 01:05:05.434
I just had a good time,

01:05:05.594 --> 01:05:06.456
ate some good food.

01:05:07.454 --> 01:05:07.775
You know,

01:05:07.815 --> 01:05:09.057
really took in the sights and

01:05:09.117 --> 01:05:10.639
everything that I came there to see.

01:05:10.699 --> 01:05:11.260
So, yeah.

01:05:11.802 --> 01:05:14.144
But that was my story about

01:05:14.505 --> 01:05:15.708
being around them and just

01:05:15.748 --> 01:05:16.869
being caught off guard.

01:05:17.150 --> 01:05:18.452
I had never heard of a pride

01:05:18.472 --> 01:05:20.635
week or a pride fest, you know.

01:05:21.922 --> 01:05:23.844
Didn't know anything about it until then,

01:05:24.264 --> 01:05:25.166
when I was in the middle of

01:05:25.206 --> 01:05:25.945
it by accident.

01:05:27.186 --> 01:05:28.668
Right, right, right.

01:05:29.429 --> 01:05:29.690
Well,

01:05:30.210 --> 01:05:32.052
back to that bill and we gonna close

01:05:32.112 --> 01:05:32.632
with this.

01:05:33.253 --> 01:05:34.934
Back to that bill, I think,

01:05:34.974 --> 01:05:35.574
you know what I'm saying?

01:05:35.855 --> 01:05:36.635
Even if you gay,

01:05:36.695 --> 01:05:37.896
you should fight against that.

01:05:38.556 --> 01:05:39.637
These are children we

01:05:39.657 --> 01:05:40.978
dealing with here and we

01:05:41.018 --> 01:05:42.559
shouldn't let children have

01:05:42.619 --> 01:05:43.740
a choice of that because

01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:46.003
children change their mind.

01:05:46.043 --> 01:05:46.344
You know,

01:05:46.503 --> 01:05:48.204
one minute they want an Xbox and

01:05:48.324 --> 01:05:49.987
another minute they want a PlayStation.

01:05:50.507 --> 01:05:52.148
they're not old enough and

01:05:52.248 --> 01:05:53.550
responsible enough to make

01:05:53.610 --> 01:05:54.471
decisions on their

01:05:54.510 --> 01:05:56.333
sexuality and shame on

01:05:56.373 --> 01:05:57.494
those politicians for

01:05:57.534 --> 01:05:59.434
wanting to pass a bill like

01:05:59.474 --> 01:06:00.856
that and shame on people

01:06:00.916 --> 01:06:02.498
who agree with that that's

01:06:02.597 --> 01:06:03.719
I mean that's just sad you

01:06:03.739 --> 01:06:05.240
shouldn't do that exactly

01:06:06.621 --> 01:06:08.083
yeah but that's all that we

01:06:08.143 --> 01:06:10.226
