You in the crux of the world should have forgotten national emergency. You know what, if Trump wants to stop Mexicans he's just put it of New York, tell you should be again coming around and finally either, What today is rights, Hey

It's the one day. You can dress up as a baby, insured people, people bow and arrow and get away with it, and it's really nice have a day where we just need to show that actual someone that we care? Isn't it you until the men up That's all you need to do. Because not everyone can afford flowers or chocolates or a private Kenny geek So like honey, Wes, no Valentine's day, just about sure doing. What's in your heart your girl, no, that you love her now, ladies, if he doesn't have flowers or bail, something you need to cut him loose because clearly does not respect for the queen. That you are, I mean he had all year to save up a nice front as a kind of for a box of chocolates. That's fine,

Ninety nine workers, you can say five. Ninety nine, that's too turnstile jumps, that's all that is if you're mad won't job prospects for you. You need to cut in any way happy Valentine's day. Let's move on top story, while most people are celebrating Valentine's day today. It's important to remember that this is a day that also marks the one year anniversary of America's deadliest high school shooting I'm almost mass shootings in America seem to be a moment of shock, followed by. So grieving and then people move on the students have parkland have made. This time the stories difference,

it was high school, had become the faces of America's war on gun, violence, fight for your lives before it, someone else's chop becoming a political and cultural horse marching on Washington lobby lawmakers racking up awards magazine, covers quickly gaining influence. Among celebrity than politician, since the Portland Massacre, twenty six state, Legislatures plus Washington DC, have passed sixty nine different gun control measures more. Gun control measures more than any year since the twenty twelve sandy hook, shooting wow that's amazing, wearing a major problem that is faced with these kids states have past. Sixteen New gun control lost sixty nine nice.

Because you see I mean they heroes, but this Lisbon kids. They know what they were doing. There probably gonna, be seventy laws and they like. Well- oh, oh, oh, oh, let's keep it out that number or sixty nine perfect. Maybe next year we could do for twenty cause, a way for congratulations and all jokes. Aside. This past year we ve seen gun control. Laws outnumber the number of laws that Lucian gun control and the federal government, didn't do much of anything. Many of the states have stepped up in their own ways. Seven states expanded. Brown checks and eight allowed law enforcement to confiscate weapons from at risk individuals in Florida, a new or raise the minimum age for by your fire arm to twenty one Maryland, which has a republican governors well enacted a red flag law and Ban Bob Socks. Oregon close these, so called boyfriend loophole. Yesterday, governor roused nor them sign legislation authorizing. I stop gun violence. Plaint, yes, Florida Maryland, Oregon and Virginia made it harder for people to access guns and budget.

Was so fired up. They were like Wilson Gonna make a license plate which I know seem small, but I'm ready, of Governor Ralph Nothin. For doing that, I mean even used own hand for the picture so thoughtful, but thanks I didn't painted face, but very soon the poverty, kids and their allies more. The only ones making some long overdue changes right. They also put pressure America's most powerful citizens- the corporations after apartment America has made some changes: Walmart raise its age limit, thereby guns and ammunition to exporting good, stop, selling assault style rifles, the airlines and hurts no longer offer discounts in our members, Bank of America will no longer lend money to gunmakers that manufacture military style, assault rifles for civilian use programme, the nations largest grocery store chain, no longer selling arms to anyone under twenty one, while ok props to Kroger Philip,

selling guns to anyone on the twenty one, but also what was a grocery store, selling gun didn't even know. There was a thing I mean you know blonde buying them for hunting all the foods right there? Unless some people like buying this foolish choisy, I wanna heart my own yogurt commie directive, so strange that we are not going to America's next level buying guns. At the same time, you by your produce like ours, that even work gifted of a gun is ripe. Is that what you do people going around, squeezing it firing off a few rounds is like a work, this one's kind of hard, but I'm only gonna shoot at next week's. I think it's. Ok, it's ok! So all of these measures a great news- let us not fool ourselves: any time. Does a movement to restrict gun rights in America there's always a backlash and this year was no difference. Twenty six. Program. Laws were enacted at state level for exam

pull stand our ground laws which allow the use of deadly force in response to threats. Found in Oklahoma and introduced in Idaho and Wyoming West Virginia this business owners to allow guns in parking lots and why I repealed a law which had outlawed guns in churches, tat and why are you can carry guns in church? I'm if that makes me comfortable when it's time to pray- and I was just like everybody. Then us close our eyes. No, you close your eyes. Okay, we both closed eyes on the count of three one. Two three was, as you guys, you're meet me Jesus first, I will say this: I was it is about guns in charge, but I think the one church where people should be

The carry guns, isn't the catholic church yeah be like hey Timmy, want to see? What's in my chamber, know you want to see what's in my chamber bitch so because it seems, like America isn't going Good by two guns, anytime, soon some school, have decided to stop waiting for legislation and they gonna. Take matters into their own hands, investing in dozens of products that advertise security, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore spent nearly sixty thousand dollars on bulletproof white boards and a school district in New Jersey spent more than four hundred thousand dollars on shatter resisted, filled for glass, the Columbia, Anna School District spending, twenty six hundred dollars on panic buttons for teachers to where he's down teachers in Colombia, Ohio are training to take down unarmed intruder, with pepper, spread, their called a threat, extinguishers and cost

If ten hundred dollars a can all hold up. All up that pepper spray thing cost. Fifty hundred dollars feels like a rip off and we all know the teachers are desperate. But how effective that would be a real someone's shooting at you. They won't scared than you actually didn't start spree someone, because you and amiable by running into walls and shit like our life. I would rather just take this hundred dollars and singles? And then, if it You too, comes in just thrown up here, because I don't care who you are when there's money falling you're gonna, stop what you're doing and you can try. It gets up its human nature. We can control it. I don't care who would have this modified around you referred rabbit. You could be Warren Buffett and huge will be that guy. What am I doing? I have all that money does not match our all fifty, hundred dollars is way too much for that thing and also one of the poor schools gonna. Do they call for these measures, but have actually

teachers, pepper grinders, just get a real close say when saying when say when say when say were not yet not yet not yet from when it comes to gun regulation in America. Clearly, there are still a long way to go, but I will say this: the year since parliament has been a historic one, forgets safety thanks to the efforts, of these determine kids, I just want to say ammo Gonzalez Jamal Emmy, Kai Cobalt, colleagues know about all the other amazing young people who fought for what they believe in. Thank you so much for inspiring us, and so many others. In fact, for Valentine's day, instead of chocolate, actually got you guys

who can of gratitude gap, but I would save you the of the fifteen hundred dollars and get you each one of these pepper sprays. The really easy to use all you do. Is you ain't them at the thing and the jobs that it will be right back. February, which means its black history months and we are celebrating all month with. Why would junior and cp time welcome to see Peter The only show that's for the culture. Today, We will be discussing music without it you'll meet. Three headphones, would just be two hundred dollar earmuffs.

We all know that the best music is made by black people and their wives. Love is still they stole jazz They stole rock and roll this all something called Mumble Rep. One familiar with. It contains the word reps, I'm sure he did but as much We get angry at white people for still not music. We also realise that it is saved us from a lot of shame, because there are many embarrassing musical John was with black routes that black people, should be glad white folks to, for example, electronic dance, music or ie which is just loud thumpin that never ends? supposedly music, then the construct Gentlemen, Jack in the concrete outside my house at seven, a m is Mozart, then, Beethoven Buck. Even though idiom is identified with white culture, it was actually created. Gay black dancing. It makes

Eighty Chicago, led by african notes, The fact remains that India is horrible, I want all the that is more enjoyable. If you will under the influence of a droll called Molly. Now, of course, A man of mustache has never taken the mollet until now. Let me put absolved from his middle school. I don't know how many times you supposed to take one was no said, I really feel anything she's gotta watch And what people didn't just steel music from black people they stole visible instruments to, for example, the banjo.

The banjo derives from instrument used by was african. Sleeves sits the seventeenth century, but then white people adopted it. Now, ironically, the cell. The banjo today- tells black. Will they shouldn't be the white people, I be grateful for the banjo without it grass music would just be put no overalls and using a washboard that music s just show, was. Actually another thing that black people did very cleverly. We trick white people into doing chores We must look at how much forum have enormous you. Washbowl uniformity is called new nets. Up is squared dancing and I know that when you think of Square Danton, you think genes and cowboy hats and senior citizens get the free goal, but it was actually

blood sleaze that learn square. Dancing and taught it to their white masters? Although if you ask me I think that the slaves told it to the white people so that they would be too tired to beat them Why people get very exhaustive trying to find a beat What is so white people? We know that you love still an amusing but be careful because some the Butler zone. Where. Smell Mon emotions, the time we have today been seen Peter remember before the court,

one blows the I guess life Social Justice advocate an entrepreneur and an artist who has written and when more cold the master plan. My Ernie from life in prison to a life of purpose. Please welcome Chris, wasn't waters was shocked by gravity your book your journey is genuinely one of the most shocking stories I have ever read. You lived a life that many people should not have emerged out of you. You talk very early on in the book about how you grew up in a world that you're you're therapist refer to as well.

Growing up in a combat zone. What does that mean amazed what's a lot of gun violence in my neighborhood, I buried five of my friends before the age of seven I lost family members. Are brother was shot my cousin, has gone down in front of the house, and the stuff was happening every couple of months and you you lived in the world where there was a lot violence on the outside, but vital, on the inside as well, because you you you talk about in the Balkans, it's really hot wrenching. About how your mom was physically abuse. By your dad at the time who is a policeman? How did that? How did that check your your world? I mean because you you're going up in this world with so much violence, and then you have this man. The policeman who is creating, more violence in your world. So he was so he was my stepfather right now, but I'm a mom was data him. It was a nightmare, was a nightmare and it started out verbal abuse and then it just became physical and because he was a police officer, women

call the police. They wouldn't do right to that. That change your perception of police, most kids grow up thinking the police are heroes there. I actually wanted to be a police officer, I'm like embarrassed admit that now like police officer from they will come to school. I was like it was that there was a role that I wanted to play and an enormous experience has grown up so my neighborhood it was. There was a negative experience. You you you, you, then, want to talk about how you went into a world where crime was basically the only avenue that was opened up to you again, for crimes young kidnapping at fourteen? Yes, and the time you are sixteen, your deep into it and you, you get sentenced to life in prison gas at the age of seventeen? Seventy Seventeen years old, sentenced life in prison. What is what

going through your mind when that's happening? What, when that, when that verdict comes down what is happening in your brain, it was. It was like receiving a death sentence as you can imagine going to prison, is like being teleported to another planet and so and only weigh like a hundred and twenty pounds. I was like super terrified of going into present as a child being charged as an adult having to grow old and die there? So I was terrified and well what have you been arrested for first agreements right, and so now you live in a world of violence. You're seventeen year old has been sentenced to life in prison. You go into prison this story, seems like its ended now and yet that is just. Of the story in this book right genuinely one of the most amazing stories, because you, you, you said, As for yourself, you get into prison. And then you decide that you're going to make your life better, imprison right? Why so I knew growin up. My mom is still to me that I was a good person, We want to be entrepreneur and a grown up.

Land chess and plan a shallow people. My neighbour hoboes. I meant us, not cool man, you do ass. I never really apply myself. So once I was. Finally, I was sentenced to life in prison and everyone I just get comfortable, you can grow and daddy. I knew my heart that I was a good person, so I wanted to write a plan and apply myself and put her myself, who to everyone else that my life was redeemable right. Well, when you were in prison, did you feel like prison? Helped you believe that your life was evil. Now no prince and like it was? It was mostly punitive and he would say make a comfortable. You belong grown and daddy, but there were people that met imprisoned, who actually solved central Emmy and gave me hope that I can get out right. You you talk about one of your. Why are you so mates who ff

students earn mass, and then he would punish you if you couldn't get the right, which is, I mean, a great way to learn about being a prison cell with someone like yeah, I'm a learned how many I am alone my four times table on this very interesting way to learn interesting, let low, there's gotta death. He would give me problems, many would say, are making this problem, and you need to beat your time if you can't do it. You think I drink a cup of water. You got to do twenty five push. Ups right, I put on a lot of but also about my high school diploma like two months right now, now you you you you talk this journey, and when you, when you went into prison, it was it was a life sentence. But then you get out after how many years sixteen and have half and that for many, Who is the beginning of an ending, because you are now a fellow, but you are now someone who society has deemed dangerous. Right or somebody who has been found

guilty of first degree, murder right, waiting and begin your journey now. No I'm prison sentence. I knew that society will look at me that way when I will see a lot of people get out of prison and come back in prison and so on. Emma man, you no kind of like a mental Forty two that I was going be able to get out end work very hard to prove people wrong, and they often times we always stories about people get now and commit another clan. Why? I wanted to prove everybody wrong by showing that we can come home and be successful This is what was interesting and then this is fascinating. Like you, you you, you went into prison being what many? people would consider the worst of society right and in that time you go in you you, you study. What what all the team is, that you that you give yourself in prison, just listening can really impressive, so our first I gotta

We diploma. I got my college degree and sociology right. I taught myself to read and write and speak spanish Italian went on alert man or any sort of book club started career planning. Funny you you come up with all these skills you go. So the real war, but the real world doesn't appreciate a person who has rehabilitate themselves. We ve learned that society without a change that, but we, but we have known that you start going business. You want to become a business present. The bank's don't want to give you lost, how even begin the journey of getting the money? How? How does that work? So it is actually very very strange to gonna to banks. My companies, when I started my first copy was profitable. I was making intellect one thousand dollars a month, and we're going to the bank's Annie, five thousand, all line of credit and, like everybody, I told me: no innovation, found out was because I was a convicted fella. And so it is made it very difficult for me to be successful and that's what ass to a lot of people when it come off, imprison sake

you want to do the right thing, and do just shut everywhere. You turn so is very. Very very different and now you, you ve, decided to make that part of your purpose. What does your come? we do, and how do you work with with people who have come out of prison system my first company, which is a furniture design, company making, high and furniture. I saw the second company construction, contracting company and both of our companies, I didn't know at the time when I was in prison, but I wanted to create opportunities for people, and so I now know the term social entrepreneur, but I create job opportunities for people who need help the most, and so you know very proud of, God that's writes about someone. Someone who is pro punitive system might say Chris clearly, American

prison system works because you went in as a murderer and then you came out as a model. Citizen, isn't is isn't that what the present system is is supposed to do. How would you respond to that site will push back when that right so, but it all depends on who you, some people, think the present systems that work and find a desk. In our communities are people of color, but you know, I think, that the present system Broken and it didn't help me. I had a really like push myself to learn. All I can, even when I finish alteration of got my ass with diploma. I re hunt hundreds of books right, but the other thing I say too is you know we got it, about what we're doing Children I went to prison as a child and My brain wasn't develop, you know my life was threatened and I took a person's life it s wrong right, but I should have been thrown away. And you know as a society, we should should be more thoughtful of giving children who commit crimes. A second chance

a dedicated my life? If you go- in your life and you look at that decision that you made chicks. But he also life. What do you think could have changed in your community that could have prevented you from getting into the life that you did There's a lot of things why, in my neighborhood, like one like the crack epidemic, swept through my neighbour, Teachers under pay. It was alive, crime, there were so many things. I can't really say what what a magic solution. What a ban, but I guess, like this Otis Ass, a sweatband like Mama, if my mom had like more support. Like my mom was sexually in front of me and ass victim. I watched her slip down hill and it was no for her, even watching all my friends that it was no one they come top,

may I say how you feel about like watching your friend, I am able to say to be ok, I would think about these Emma is everyday and I couldn't concentrate in school. I couldn't like function. I had to sleep on the floor because straight bullets will come to go to our house, and so is tough and a lot of children grow up like that, and so I want to be a voice to speak against these conditions and and continue to do so. When you look at people, come out of prison now. Do you I told them the importance of speaking to someone you tell him. The importance of therapy doo doo, trying to get them into the soda southerners does very very important. I talk about this in the book is like thirty some things that you can do with implementing your master plan right like the first one is like my right that shit down like writing down and in Give like someone else like a copy can hold you accountable and, like me, I did my grandmother because I know one tills. No one light

You always obey your grandmother had other things like you know, create your own personal board of advisers. Why so someone was like an expert like finance or, like you know, released, ships and right to take him off a lot like once a month right. You just do stuff like that, an end like fire. Dislike. Never, never quit never give up a surrender yourself. What like positive people, their push you and an after me, say you know your stories amazing, and maybe it is, but it's not a special about me only me this far because a handful of people so potential in and pushed me to make me believe that I could be success. One is still like this to this day. A disagreement. I think the stories very special. It's not a perfect story unless it makes perfect about the Marshall plan. An amazing story. Amazing book is available now before from everybody.
