11:41 am
were walking home and i saw some valentine's day teddy bears on the street which was just horrible because like that they were supposed to be filled with love and just your happiness. and it was like taken away so quickly. the night before on sheen asked me after a basketball game. hey jonathan, we stopping by some flowers for tomorrow, for tory, his girlfriend, providing thing saying the we got school set. okay. that i love you. he read the flowers. it said, call me i. so you get told me the flowers, so i know what happened and what was that reaction? and that was the other text from one of the teachers. he said sandy. nobody's heard from fucking. that's not this kid's not this get.
11:42 am
put on the news and the desk countless, maybe 5 or 6 at that time and i thought that was the worst i could get there saying 5 bodies at 7 bodies. it is all i need was caused by his dead clock. him was dead. meadow was dead. elena was dead. nicholas said, the wife was going on. my mom didn't want me going out the 1st night and i felt that i had to for my sister because she was crying so much. you know, lawrence for closest friends passed away in the violence. that's why i went out there in the 1st place. my mom and dad went to basically try to physically stopping me from going. and i basically said, hell, no, i'm going. i got my camera and i, i went the so i'm here, i'm
11:43 am
11:44 am
11:45 am
you know, you hear them step is just the fluid, so in your components the was unable to answer the phone. yeah. is a visual of the yeah. but i do have to make sure that people come down. yeah. i'm literally so frustrated with as much. it's gonna get to play the show you a different level may assist you with when you do it on different shifts and which the technology you can throwing up at the let's just sponsor, excuse me, just go out. i don't like for you to go or you don't wish to just go in and put in the see it is done with this or fix it on this one was self employed. so sort of all the jamie was my baby girl. she'll be forever 14 till one. she wasn't. she was killed. my daughter running down the hallway,
11:46 am
that air 15 of her back running for her lights. that is in my head every 2nd of every day. think about what these kids witness. think about what they heard. think about some of these kids who were in the same room is other chance who died and they watched their friends phone when we were in front of me by doing nothing. let that happen to them. for kids that lives through this and in our entire generation is i do it through this combine happened 2 years before i was even born. and this has happened again and again and again and again. and again, because people continue to stick with the system and say, you know, we're going to try changing a few things and it's like, oh god, the energy pushing against us like we need to submit to them because they're big and scared. and we have jobs to lose. we don't, we've lost our friends. what else do we have to lose?
11:47 am
my initial reaction was to get political and i this just so angry. david was doing a lot of interviews because that's what he knew how to do work. children, you guys are like, are the adults. you need to take some action and play a role for it together, some of your politics and get something to i was organizing because that's what i need to do. is it on demand in periods of 100 students from storm and douglas high school forwarded buses, taking their flight for gun reform to the states capital? 450 miles away. karen called me over to his house and told me that he had this idea to do a large and i was like, all right, let's do that. at that point, person was the up a center of the world. the
11:48 am
of all eyes are on us. so we had to take it and run with it. the people were like, this isn't going to work and it was like in the party was fine august. 4th, the task is incorrect. that's a rest. and always has to have the level of to america to day after he turn 3 the what do you wash various point? let me guess less. if neither one of the house he was very,
11:49 am
very shy. that's. that's a start changing way. he decided to face the where he became a teenager to stay and be having a voice the at school he was, well, non sure. his friends from high school. i think they found that way. the easy way to call him is there was he, you know, trying to pro, now the name. i think they can we the idea maybe they were teasing him about what are the very everybody started calling him? what was, what was the, she was very knowledgeable about what's going on. she was the one who was the 1st one that was defending everybody throughout the voice of the class. so that's an
11:50 am
attitude that it came from and that that relationship happenstance working was for . when it was a dad, but he was always a friend. he left just like she was that really he with the fancy had any friends, but he was my body. he loved to play basketball. one day he got side calls from the rest 5 calls, one after the other, and she complained and the rest threw him out of the gate. on our way back home, he said that i actually saying that that wrapped is receiving money from the other things. so i don't think there is any way we can win this game with that rest in charge then february,
11:51 am
and then i needed to do something. sony and my wife is sort of these organization called change the rest the rest is represented by people in congress because they have to make the calls and they are attached by money or personal interest with a lobby like the an array. we're going to change the risk free, so we can have better calls on a 1st game. it's a perfect way of wondering, walking the guys, friday i fly tomorrow. so i'm really not really the best right now.
11:52 am
no. seeing this all comes together and it being led by students organized by students, don't even have words to describe how happy i am or even how proud i am. i can't wait to see where actually comes out of this because i know we're not going to stop . so i think they're a little under prepared for the the attack of the teenagers, the mercer eliza never again. the kids of parkland really have 5 main points. repealing dicky amendment to allow cdc research for gun violence as right now they can
11:53 am
allergies and funding towards it. the atf had strictly paper records of guns, sales and gun registries. so digitize that. pretty simple, pretty common sense. banning high capacity magazines and things like pump stocks as they are very dangerous and hunters can still hunt without them. so most accepted across the country is universal. background checks, something that nobody has put to the floor yet. and the most controversial would be the assault weapons ban. basically, we want to make sure that certain things that are just too dangerous for regular civilian shouldn't be in the hands of those people. young people who purchased a vivian, i'm more lazy and 50000 people show up. it's the biggest protest
11:54 am
11:55 am
11:56 am
to the i'm just putting this price tag or on the back the if you did. 2 the all the money given to mark, review of a better divide that by the students in florida it's, it's $1.05 for students. sort of the meaning of that. i don't know if i'm gonna and it's worth it for me to even bring it in a system. there's not even like as a fashion statement, but just embarrassing that our school is going through this the let me ask you a question right now. do you know for a 100 percent that i don't have a knife in here?
11:57 am
exactly. the little pistol in my bag is there. definitely don't thing any young people were involved in this. this is, it's probably the same generation that's been playing a saw for the past 6 weeks. i think they're doing a lot to kind of just humor us. this is one of those times we're waiting real change. the i asked my friend, emma gonzalez, a she was able to find out later back,
11:58 am
but formation did. so that's why kings clear backpack and it's filled with the things that he needs to bring out his voice. i filed that arts is a good way to communicate to people and to gain 14 to boys even if he's not here the difference between what's that happened today and moving forward. and what already happened in miami, in new york is that it's going to be more demanding. a loud or message, maureen packed, the, one of the things that we learned very quickly about brock obama was that he was
11:59 am
not a friend of transparency. he was not a friend of whistle blowers and he was very, very easily influenced by the c i a and by the rest of the intelligence community, perhaps because he came to the presidency with no foreign policy experience. worked behind perhaps because he just believed in the mission of the c. i a and the us intelligence services the on the
12:00 pm
lake. some countries give up its silver in phoenix change percentages and become someone set the right reset. last remains for right and add independent. that message is coming from present by them. it puts in during a riley by the countries runing policy present is ready as strikes are reported to killed maybe 50 palestinians in residential areas of northern does, a french rule. they can condemn these well over the killing of a pension government wilka who lives in a private residence during an idea of attack on dogs. the life of most of this is all to you. my name's words have i'm in 30 me.
