JD Vance Knows Security Won't Stop School Shootings | Bulwark Takes

I have a rant I need to get off my chest and I was looking at the week schedule here and I didn't see where we were going to be able to fit it in and so we're just going to do it right now just you and me Monday morning talking about the JD Vance quote um about uh the school shooting in Georgia I don't like this I don't like to admit this I don't like that this is a fact of life but if you're if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines you realize that our schools are soft targets and we have got to bolster security at our schools and there was this kind of meta media convers ation around this phrase fact of life and whether that was offensive or not that JD said that um he doesn't like that this is a fact of life and I don't I don't really have strong feelings about that debate and whether the other people are taking him out of context or not because to me it's the next sentence it's the bad one but if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines you've realized that our schools are soft targets and we've got to bolster security at our schools like I I don't I don't really know if JD believes this um as or if this is just like insulting to everybody this notion that somebody that is running for the vice presidency of the United States thinks that the right thing to do in the face of this epidemic of school shootings that only happens in this country like the thing is that we need to get more security at our schools like I guess so I'm for additional school security but like the notion that this is the solution to this or that this is even an important part of the solution is like insulting and ridiculous uh because like there is no unless we're turning the schools into maximum security prisons unless we're we're creating a public school TSA system which would like cost like half the defense budget because because there are orders of magnitude more schools in this country than there are airports so unless that's the plan where we're doing one in one out where people you know you got to buzz people and like the gate closes there a couple there are some schools that have this um okay I I mean like you're doing that at every school in the country um then as we all know other things will become soft targets right like there'll be soccer games or basketball games or School picnics or School functions but um that that I guess is JD Vance solution that we're going to have maximum security prisons where people come one in one out um I I I don't exactly know how we're going to pay for that um I I don't think that that's a serious proposal that he really thinks that we should do because it's not something that's going to be ex that is going to be put into place you know and and there are all kinds of practical reasons that we all know I I think about my High School in Colorado it has probably 20 entrances right like what what are they going to build the Great Wall of China around it as I as I picture it I I one time tweeted out a picture of my high school from above to some somebody that was talking about the school of security and said what is your what's your plan on on securing a campus such as this um I think about I was picking up when we were in Dallas I went to meet one of my college besties and we did School pickup together before the show um and we went there and it was right after the school shooting and I'm I'm watching and and they they they go to a fancy School in Suburban Dallas and they have a security guard and you know you got to check in to get into the school all the basic stuff but at dismissal what happens but the kids leave like the kids all leave and some of them walk home like me and my friend did with his kid uh some of them have car pickup some of them you know there are a lot of different some of them carpool so multiples of them are running out together I was just sitting there watching this this you know like you don't want to have these horrible nightmares in your mind when you're doing your school pickup with your buddy but I was just watching all this I'm like what what is the plan here for secure securing this situation like if there's a kid that goes to this school that wants to what what did he say make headlines and find a soft target like they're going to be able to figure out that they can just do it at dismissal or at pickup or at again a sporting event like the whole thing is insulting it's insulting to our intelligence to say that this is the solution and and it it's and it's callous and it's callous and the reality is I almost would prefer not almost I would prefer if JD Vance would just say I don't give a about the school shootings I don't care I don't think that we can do anything about it I care more about ensuring that 20year olds have unfettered access to assault rifles and bullets then I care about this I care more about like my don't tread on me flag and the fact that we're not going to be a country where we have gun buybacks or where we have um requirements about how you store your weapon I like I I I care more about my fetish fetishization of this weapon than I do about these deaths at least that's honest at least that's honest don't spit on me and tell me that you care about these kids and that your solution is is we need fencing around every school it's it's it's ridiculous it's not true it's not the answer we all know what the answer is you don't you don't want to do it JD Vance you're not interested in doing it and so so you're happy to just do Russian roulette with kids lives at schools like that's where you've landed on this because you care more about the guns I mean we look at the situation in Georgia and and the dad thank God is going to be um held accountable for this it seems like at least he's going to have to go to trial and it's like the FBI came to this house and warned him that his kid was making threats and he still gave his kid a gun as a present like the security at the school is the problem or that that or the the parent is the problem and the laws are the problem and the way that we're and the way that what the limitations on what that FBI agent could do is the problem because that kid if his school was the most secure school that we have in the entire country it wouldn't have mattered would could have gone to a different school could have gone to the mall could have gone to the movie theater could have gone to wherever so um anyway I'm sick of it and I just I will I will not allow these things to go by where they can where where people that want totally unfettered rights to to Weaponry to high powerered repy to like Gaslight us into thinking that there's some other solution than the one that is obvious so anyway um that is my rant about JD Vance I had another rant which maybe we'll do later this week about Donald Trump I don't know if you see this seeking out School hallucinations Donald Trump was uh Donald Trump was talking I think for the second or third time now about how Little John can go to school get operated on get a sex change operation and then come out the other side as a woman that's something that's happening in our school is crazy in our country so like these guys like live in a totally fa fabricated hallucination and rather than actually deal with the real problems that we have in this country that's where they're going to live um we're not going to try to live there here on this [Music] podcast for
