Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. Yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society.
Starting point is 00:00:29 But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. That's a breakfast club, bitch. All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day for Thursday, March 30th goes to President Joe Biden, as well as the Republicans in Congress who have said in regards to to gun violence they have done all that they are willing to do uh if you haven't heard there was a mass shooting this week at a christian elementary school in nashville that basically a lot of folks in washington are just shrugging their shoulders at okay i told you earlier this week that when you hear politicians say this is not who we are as a
Starting point is 00:01:01 country scream out you lie like a horse on the side of the road or whatever the hell jamaicans be saying okay when somebody's lying uh mass shootings are the american way all right it's part of our culture all right guns are a part of our culture violence is our culture and all these old white men in washington have accepted it all right this is republican tim burkett of tennessee he was on the steps of the capitol just hours after the shooting that killed three children and three adults in his home state. And this is what he said. Three precious little kids lost their lives, and I believe three adults.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I believe this. And the shooter, of course, lost their life, too. So it's a horrible, horrible situation. And we're not going to fix it. Criminals are going to be criminals. And my daddy fought in the Second World world war fought in the pacific fought the japanese and he told me he said buddy he said if somebody wants to take you out and doesn't mind losing their life there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it we're not going to fix it criminals are going to be criminals yes criminals are going to be criminals but you make it easier for them to commit the kind of carnage they commit when you don't do things like pass common sense
Starting point is 00:02:00 gun reform okay legislation that can expand brady background checks and ban assault weapons where the hell do these people's kids go to school that they are not terrified like the rest of us because i want my kids to go there too and it's not just about the kids it could be you all right what if somebody just rolled up to the steps of the capitol while you was talking tim burkett and just opened fire with an ar-15 i bet you if you live to talk about it you would want them to pass common sense gun reform immediately you know people don't care about anything until it impacts them all right and then president biden said this week that there's nothing else he can do without congress let's listen i have gone the full extent of my executive authority to do on my own anything about guns
Starting point is 00:02:41 but congress has to act the majority of american people think having assault weapons is bizarre it's a crazy idea we're against that and so i think the congress should be passionate about that so i can't do anything except plead with the congress to act reasonably president biden that was unbelievably honest and pathetic. OK, it's absolutely pathetic for a sitting president to just concede and say I'm powerless without Congress. Is he right? Yes. But how about call out the senators by name who won't pass common sense gun reform because they are in the pockets of gun lobbyists? Call them out. Let people know the senators who have benefited the most from NRA money. Let people know whose political campaigns have benefited from NRA dollars. Let people see the correlation between senators who oppose gun safety legislation and whose political campaigns have also benefited from NRA money. All right. There's literally a
Starting point is 00:03:33 website you can go to that shows you which senators have benefited the most from NRA money. OK, Mitt Romney, Richard Burr, Roy Blunt, Tom Till's, Marco Rubio. It's like 48 of them, guys. But you can go to this site and it shows how much the NRA spent on their campaigns and how many gun deaths have happened in their states. OK, I would much rather see President Biden calling them out instead of just throwing his hands up and saying, all I can do is beg them to do something. I have to plead to them to do something. It's nothing I can do without them. Of course, you can't do anything without them, but at least call them out by name. Bill Cassidy, Tom Cotton, Pat Toomey, Ted Cruz, Steve Daines all received money from the NRA for their campaigns. To not call him out after another mass shooting and not just another mass shooting, another mass shooting of kids is gutless. All right. CNN reported that mass shootings have gone up every year since 2013.
Starting point is 00:04:21 In 2013, it was 256. 256 in 2022 it was 646 and guess what in 2023 the gun violence archive is counted 130 mass shootings okay but all our elected officials including our president can do is nothing all right at the least get angry like congressman jamal bowman was yesterday let's listen freaking cowards they're gutless we're not here i'm talking about gun violence that allows Let's listen. teachers. Have you ever worked in a school? Have you ever worked in a school? Have you ever worked in a school? I worked in a school for 20 years. I was a teen. I was standing before you and you interrupted me. Probably a clue box for Jamal Bowman. Be irate. You know, show some passion. I'm telling you right now, all you elected officials, eventually it will impact you.
Starting point is 00:05:25 All you Republicans in Congress doing nothing about this. It's literally like driving a car with no brake pads. All right. When you drive without brake pads, you are putting you and everybody else on the road at risk. And eventually you're going to crash. OK, this is what will happen eventually to all the elected officials who don't want to move on common sense gun reform. You will eventually be cannibalized by the same monster you're feeding. Okay? God told me to tell you that. Please let Remy Ma give the Republicans who refused to pass common sense gun reform and President Joe Biden for not calling him out by name the biggest hee-haw.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Hee-haw. Hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Now can we woosah? All right, let's woosah. Thank you for that donkey today. Donkey of the Day is brought to you by the law office of michael s laminsoff don't be a donkey dial pound 250 on your cell and say the bull if you've been hurt in a construction accident
