 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. If you look at some of the issues with society today, it is a lack of parenting. We see it all the time and now we see what happened in Oxford, Michigan and that is a prime example why there is a lack of parenting and it is reaching extreme measures. People don't wanna be parents anymore. They want to be friends. They want to be advocates. They want to be defenders of their kids when their kids completely screwed up. When I was a kid, I wasn't worried about the police. I wasn't worried about the teacher. I wasn't worried about the coach. I was worried about my dad and what he would do to me if I messed up. That was where my fear came from. He would tell me one time and then if there was an issue, he would very sternly explain to me. If he had to, he would throw me up against a wall and then once he felt like I understood what the issue was, he'd give me a hug and ask if I wanted to talk. That's parenting. That's discipline. Now what we see going on now, we see hard work and sacrifice being traded in for a life of comfortableness, a life of being offended, a life of laziness, a life of video games where people go through these fake scenarios, shoot and kill everybody. These young kids are doing it, blood and guts all over the place. And then when the kid actually fantasizes about portraying such a violent act, we act surprised. And we say, well, I can't believe this happened. This stuff shouldn't happen. And yet you have the parents there defending those actions. Let's take a look at what happened in Oxford. You've got a mom and dad who purchased a gun for a 15 year old psychotic kid. You say, well, how do you know the kid was psychotic? The kid was drawing pictures of blood and guts and dead and guns and all this crazy stuff and saying, help me in fantasizing about killing people. When the teacher saw the picture and contacted home, the mother texted the kid and said, you have to learn how to not get caught. LOL, I'm not mad at you. Because if I was mad at you, then I may actually have to do something that would require a parent to discipline their kid. So of course they wouldn't go in that direction. And then you see the left, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a senator already calling for gun control saying, well, if there's not a prime example of gun control, this is it. You know, a 15 year old kid got a gun. Well, there's already a law against that. You know, the dad bought the gun, he passed a background check, I'm sure he did, because that's what you have to do in Michigan with a purchase, bought it, added gun store, a SIG, most likely a P320, bought the gun and then they said they gifted it to their kid. The kid proceeded to post pictures on social media, bragging about how he is the new gun owner of the SIG. And so there's a broken law, it's a straw purchase, that's a broken law, the kid took it to school, that's a broken law. There are already laws on the books for everything that happened. The kid shot other students and grazed the teacher on the shoulder. That's against the law. Everything that is already on the law was broken. But what does Senator Chris Murphy say? We need to ban assault rifles. Well, there wasn't a rifle in this situation. What we have here is a lack of parenting. Drawing pictures of people getting killed and guns and blood and everything else. That's not against the law, but it's certainly immoral. And there's an integrity issue there that was never upheld by the parents. So what did the parents do? They wanted to defend the kid. The first thing they say is don't say anything. Wait till we get a lawyer. Well, I often give that advice as do many people when there is a legal self defense shooting. And it seems like every time that there is a shooting of any sort, you've got the left out there crying for stricter gun control. But if these people would actually take a look at what happened and all the laws that were already on the books that have been broken, you would see that the gun control that you are being a proponent of was nothing to do with that situation. And none of that would have prevented that scenario because there are already laws on the books. And that's one of the questions I often say is, outside of the 10,000 plus gun laws out there, which one are you gonna come up with to stop a psychotic shooting like this? There's a lack of parenting going on. They don't wanna discipline their kids. They wanna be their friends. They don't want to take responsibility for the actions of their kids. They want to defend them. They don't want to sternly take away their phone, their video games, every comfort in life because they want them to be comfortable. And then if anybody else questions them about it, then all of a sudden they are offended. And then I hear, okay, boomer, okay, boomer. Well, let me tell you something. Old school discipline works. I got paddled as a kid at school. I learned to never do it again. Now that's abuse. You know, the discipline that I experienced is gone and it's been traded in for be lazy, don't sacrifice, see what you can get for free. And if you don't like it, complain a lot and try to get it changed. And if you can't get it changed, then you know damn well your parents will. And it's really a disgrace what's happening. And so you've got some psychotic kids, some psychotic parents who went on the run by the way because they got charged and I'm happy for it because they bought their kid a gun. The old man bought it, but they said it was the kid's Christmas gift, why would you say that? You know, and I'm all for bonding, you know, taking your kid shooting, I'm all for that. But I'm not for doing that with some psychotic kid who has these deranged mental ideas about what he's gonna do with that gun. And then the mom says, LOL, I'm not mad at you. It's a lack of parenting going on out there. We need to bring back old school. I'm not saying we need to beat the kid, but I am saying that we need to implement discipline again. We have to stop worrying about being comfortable, stop worrying about being offended by everything and stop worrying about being a friend to a kid because it's really hurting society. And old school discipline, the boomers, they had it right. They knew how to discipline their kid and then give him a hug and sit down and discuss it afterwards, where a message is really getting across. Not the message, I will defend you no matter what, no matter what heinous crime you commit, no matter what psychotic ideas you have. It's really quite pathetic. And so this lack of parenting is hurting society. And then we've got the liberal politicians who wanna say that's not the issue. The issue is the guns. And the issue is not the guns because we already have all these laws on the books that were broken one after another in this case. We've got a psychotic kid, a psychotic parents who don't wanna do anything and it's showing every day in today's society. Let's get back to old school discipline and let's start parenting our kids. They're not our friends. They are our kids and they need to live up to a certain measure of respect, integrity and strong morality so that they could be a productive person in society. I appreciate you watching and you guys be safe.
