Porn, rap music, abortion rights, not enough prayer.

00:00Maybe if we heard more prayers from leaders of this country instead of taking God's name in vain,
00:07we wouldn't have the mass killings like we didn't have before prayer was eliminated from school.
00:14And it's not like we're not willing to consider the best way to stop mass shootings.
00:26Some people want to blame guns. Some people want to blame gun manufacturers.
00:29All this couldn't be more misplaced.
00:31Looking at broken families, absent fathers, declining church attendance, social media
00:38bullying, violent online content, desensitizing the act of murder in video games, chronic isolation.
00:48Think of the basically pornographic materials that our young, young, young are able to have
00:56access to now. Think about the violence in video games that that we continue to promote to our
01:04youngest. When I was growing up, we didn't have these mass killings, OK? They weren't there.
01:10They didn't occur. What's the big difference between when I was growing up and today?
01:14The big difference is a decline in the moral values, a decline in the respect for human life.
01:18We stopped teaching values in so many of our schools. Now we're now we're teaching
01:22wokeness, which we're indoctrinating our children with things like CRT,
01:26telling some children they're not equal to others and they're the cause of other people's problems.
01:31Kids are exposed to all kinds of horrible stuff nowadays, too. I look back and I think about the
01:35horrible stuff that they hear when they listen to rap music, the video games that they watch
01:39from a really early age with all of this horrible violence and stuff. And I just think that,
01:43you know, and they have access to the Internet on a regular basis,
01:46which is just not good for kids. I don't think.
01:48A speeding automobile in the hands of a madman is dead.
01:53And I go back to September 11th. Airplanes were used that day
01:57as the weapon to kill thousands of people and to inflict terror on our country.
02:02There wasn't a conversation about banning airplanes. There was a conversation
02:06about connecting the dots. There's been a noticeable breakdown of the family.
02:10There's been an erosion of faith and there's been a seismic drop in social interactions
02:15in large measure due to the overuse of these dang smartphones and the proliferation of social
02:21media, which is probably better described as anti-social media.
02:24Something has happened to our society. And I go back to abortion when we decided it was OK to
02:29murder kids in their mother's wombs. Life has no value to a lot of these folks.
02:36Why do these bills do nothing to address the mental health crisis that we are facing,
02:39driving the violence? It is the guns. It is not the guns. It is the people.
