Trigger warning. The contents of this
episode has references to subject matter that listeners
2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:10.160
may find disturbing or triggering of personal
past experiences. For more information referred to
3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:20.879
the description of the episode, please
proceed with caution. Hey everyone, this
4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.519
is Bellamers. Thanks for joining me
on another episode of Big Time Fresh.
5
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.199
This one's going to be a different
one at different vibe, different topic,
6
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:33.640
different everything. I try to stay
away from politics, but this one is
7
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.840
not just politics. It's also about
reproductive rights. So I just wanted to
8
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.159
give you one more time a trigger
warning for this episode. Going forward,
9
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.640
we will be back to our typical
format, but this one is important to
10
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.240
me on an important topic, so
I definitely wanted to share my perspective.
11
00:00:52.880 --> 00:01:03.880
Um, I will catch you next
week. When children are removed from their
12
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.200
homes because of abuse and neglect,
it's because of extreme abuse and neglect,
13
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.359
and these children have been traumatized.
When we take them into our system of
14
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:18.959
care, that's when we start re
traumatizing them, and that's the beginning of
15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.799
their life and care. All of
us felt like we were criminals. We're
16
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:29.599
being disciplined for something that our parents
did. It's like we're money to them,
17
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.079
like you see like Mr Gary would
come to work in his corvette.
18
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.480
Well, all of us don't even
have foodges. I remember one group home
19
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.599
and there's literally a boat lock on
the fridge. That lock was always there
20
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.040
unless we had a visitor, which
meant that we went some nights without eating.
21
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.560
So before we get too far into
the into the story, there's gonna
22
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.159
be a lot to unpack here,
and I'm not going to be able to
23
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.159
break it down. So I'm not
going to really be able to break it
24
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.120
down all the way. But I
wanted to mention real quick that I'm going
25
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:04.120
to have a link in the uh
in the description of the episode that's going
26
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.240
to have the link to the article
that I wrote. Because of that article
27
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.479
is where you can find a lot
of the sources to where I actually got
28
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:20.360
the data, but also where I
got the video and or in this case
29
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.759
the audio clips um but with the
article has the links that you can watch
30
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.199
the actual videos as well. Here's
a little bit more on the foster care
31
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:43.840
system in the total United States.
Sex trafficking of miners is a major problem
32
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.439
in group homes, but despite the
fact that this is commonly known by both
33
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.719
staff and case workers, underage girls
and boys are able to easily leave the
34
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:57.639
home at all hours of the day
and night. Once gone, sexual predators
35
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.759
are not far behind. We're the
hotel across the street from the group home.
36
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.639
The guys would bring the girls here. They buy them alcohol, buy
37
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.759
them marijuana, They bring them in
a room, they get drunk, they
38
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.400
get HI. Whatever they wanted to
do. Our case workers weren't providing for
39
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.159
us. The girls felt that the
only way they were going to get anything
40
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.560
is if they got it themselves.
The prostitutes range from twelve to seventeen.
41
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.520
Some girls prostitute for money, Others
prostitute for food. Others prostitute for drugs.
42
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.000
Some prostitute because they think that the
person are with lovesome and being a
43
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.120
foster kid, mostly these bill don't
get a lot of love. There's a
44
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.479
ton of foster kids in the system
all over the United States, So I
45
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.159
do want to kind of get some
insight into what it looks like right now
46
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:52.719
if you did want to become a
foster family or or adopt the child.
47
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.759
Here are some of the things that
I found online that we're definitely a resource
48
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.159
to use. At the same time, was kind of uh discouraging. I
49
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:10.000
guess, just the way it's set
up like a sergery tool, so you
50
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.240
can go onto the website and search
for different things that you are looking for
51
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.839
in a child, either to adopt
or to to be a foster parent too.
52
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.519
And to me, what's what's sad
is is that you know again,
53
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:30.040
I don't even know how. I'm
sure the chain of command and pointing fingers
54
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.000
and blame is is all over their
place. But the way it's set up
55
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:39.399
right now is you can say I
would like a three year old who is
56
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:46.079
white, that is that has no
behavioral issues. There's also options to say,
57
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.839
yes, I don't mind siblings,
I don't mind special needs, I
58
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:57.720
don't mind if they are they have
behavioral issues. But you can also exclude
59
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.439
those options. So any of the
results that would come up in the database
60
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.879
would show you the children that are
available to be adopted or to um be
61
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:13.519
uh so that either to be adopted
or have an opportunity to be a for
62
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.079
you to foster. You can pick
and choose from there. So it's just
63
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.879
hard. The pictures are up there
with the kids, all of the information,
64
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.279
a little bit about their background,
so it breaks my heart. But
65
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.839
you know, this is why we
need reform. This is this is um.
66
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:39.399
This is going to get worse because
with the overturn Roe v. Wade,
67
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.759
this is just a reality that's that's
going to get worse. So,
68
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:50.319
um, let's get into the state
of Texas specifically, a federal judge scolded
69
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:56.399
the people in charge of the Texas
foster care program about unsafe conditions for children.
70
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.720
Oxford Rolling Brown joins us with the
story, LORI, how they're in.
71
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.279
One of the cases in question,
a caretaker put two girls in a
72
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.079
hotel while she went out of state. She then asked two men to go
73
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.279
and check on them, and the
men assaulted the girls. It's one of
74
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:16.199
the many failures that the judge reviewed
today. This has been going on for
75
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.279
eleven years now because of how bad
the foster care system is in Texas.
76
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:29.040
The state of Texas has been in
litigation against Greg Abbott for not doing anything
77
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:35.040
or not addressing what needs to be
done. Eleven years okay, and because
78
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:44.720
it's so dangerous and there's no solutions
that Texas is providing. Guess who else
79
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.480
they're shipping out of state? Oh, kids, They're shipping foster kids.
80
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:54.480
Foster children are being shipped. And
I say shipped because that's what they say
81
00:06:54.480 --> 00:07:00.040
everybody else, they're being taken out
of state. Two. The example I
82
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.319
have here from the source that I
have here, uh, two point one
83
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:14.160
million dollars in was put for children
to move out of state into a different
84
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.240
foster care system in another state.
Oh. That sounds exactly like how much
85
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:28.199
money it took for uh for the
Santis to fly those Venezuelans who were not
86
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:33.360
here illegally, they were seeking asylum. They did it legally and they sat,
87
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.639
you know, let's fly him over
to Martha's vineyards. That was about
88
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:46.040
two million dollars right. Recently,
one of these instances here a prairie harbor
89
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:51.120
foster home m a prairie hard harbor
foster home. So that foster home on
90
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:59.639
its own, uh, showed the
structural deficiencies that violated the General Classes fourteenth
91
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.360
the men meant right to be free
from an unreasonable risk of harm. Let's
92
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:13.839
go to twenty nine. Let's go
to the number of suspected unconfirmed incidents of
93
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:26.199
sex trafficking. Number of confirmed incidences
of sex trafficking in Texas for the children
94
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.559
for the Department of Family Protective Services. Okay, in one year, one
95
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:41.600
one eight numbers of confirmed incidents of
sex trafficking in for children involved with the
96
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:50.039
for the Department of Family and Protective
Services. Here are some examples. A
97
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.759
woman who was sexually abused children at
one facility was fired from one that facility,
98
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.720
but then was hired by a different
fastic care facility for victims of sex
99
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:05.440
track picking and soliciting, selling and
selling news of the girls in her care
100
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:13.080
subs and this is from the ruling. Subsequent sexual aggression manifestation as child on
101
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:20.879
child sexual or physical abuse is also
quote typical, common and widespread throughout Texas
102
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:30.360
foster care. Another former foster child
name uh I'm gonna leave out the name,
103
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.200
testified that sexual assault between foster children
was a common thing in big group
104
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:43.519
homes where caregivers were simply not able
to watch everyone. So the judge who's
105
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:50.320
still on the case, uh,
Judge Judge Janice Jack has been on this
106
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.519
class action lawsuit for these alas for
these last eleven years. In her scathing
107
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:00.879
three fifty five page ruling, Judge
Jack reprimanded the state for running a system
108
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:07.200
where rape, abuse, psychotropic medication, and instability are the norm, where
109
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.960
children are almost uniformly leave the state
custody custody more damaged than when they entered.
110
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.960
Federal Judge Janis Jack told leaders with
the Texas Department of Family and Protective
111
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.240
Services that their actions have been shameful. She voiced her frustration with the lack
112
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.919
of controls to keep workers accused of
wrongdoing at one facility for being rehired elsewhere.
113
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.799
One example, an employee with the
refuge a care facility and bash drop
114
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.960
for child victims of sex trafficking.
The employee allegedly exploited child residents, selling
115
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.799
nude photos of them and using the
money to provide alcohol and drugs to the
116
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.879
miners. The judge questioned why there
was no state database to show that employee
117
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.000
had previously been terminated by the juvenile
justice system, and response, state leaders
118
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.519
told Judge Jack their access to certain
files is restricted under state law. Paul
119
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.159
yet Or, the attorney who brought
the case against the state's foster care system,
120
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:09.679
said that needs to change. Uh, the lawsuit that was filed against
121
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.480
the crag Abbott and it's like the
fourth or this is on the eleventh year,
122
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:20.159
so it was either a response or
sanctions. I don't know. I'm
123
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.559
so sorry, but um it's three
hundred and fifty five pages. Right at
124
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:31.360
the end of those, at the
end of the on three one of civil
125
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:39.480
action number two eleven CB zero zero
zero eight four, he says teachers were
126
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.039
not present in two of the classrooms
during three of the days the monitoring team
127
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:50.480
visited, and the school district did
not provide substitutes, So students were just
128
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:56.000
chilling. Uh, they were playing
cards and sleeping under death and and um
129
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:01.399
and playing games. So the picture
they took is of um, some of
130
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.639
the kids that were sleeping on the
floor because there was no substitute teacher.
131
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:16.799
So the judge, the judge who
has been on this case for the eleven
132
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.120
years that it's been in existence,
it says they planned to have plans to
133
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:30.000
levy substantial finds after Texas failed to
comply with court ordered fixes to its foster
134
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:37.679
care system. Uh, the Abbott
the Abbott's Administration's lack of competence and failed
135
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.879
promises were all part of the Texas
Supreme Court's decision to hold them in contempt
136
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.120
of court with the three page ruling. Okay, that's what that was.
137
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:58.519
It was a ruling. And so
this executive order for the Family First Prevention
138
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:05.799
Services Act was signed into or this
it was an executive order signed in by
139
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:15.320
President Trump with bipartisan support to quote
strengthen America's child welfare system by signing a
140
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:22.399
historic executive order aimed at improving outcomes
for children and families. This executive order
141
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:28.159
focuses on three key areas of action, improving partnerships, improving resources, and
142
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:37.080
improving oversight. However, the state
of Texas is failing children and families in
143
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:43.840
Texas. Therefore, Texas is going
to lose seventeen point four million in federal
144
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:50.600
support and in two and twenty five
point six million in three because it's not
145
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:58.000
compliant with the Family First Prevention Services
Act. Yeah. So this is something
146
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:05.799
Trump put into UH as an executive
order, which is wonderful. Um,
147
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.639
but his buddy Abbott is not like, oh okay, great, I don't
148
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.200
care. So because of that,
he lost, he's about to lose.
149
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:22.000
I don't know if he has ord, but the article says he was um
150
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:30.279
supposedly about to lose seventeen point four
million dollars and federal support in two and
151
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.519
twenty five point six million because he's
not compliant with the Family First Prevention Services
152
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.799
at So it's his fault. He's
not doing what he was supposed to do,
153
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.679
and he's not he's not filling the
requirements that needs to be filled to
154
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.440
in order for these fundings. That
makes sense. I guess how many children
155
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:58.120
are staying in unlicensed foster homes in
Texas? Over four hundred If you look
156
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:09.000
back in ten, it was about
less than fifty twenty eighteen, probably about
157
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:15.720
ten right now on a legal situation
that has been ongoing for about a decade
158
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.559
accusing Texas of running an unsafe foster
care system, and this week a state
159
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:26.000
judge says that she's still unsatisfied despite
changes that have been made even up into
160
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.960
the last few months, so she
will soon start slapping the state with some
161
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:35.320
massive fine similar to what happened back
in She says the system is still a
162
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.960
dangerous system for the more than thirty
thousand children in its care, so much
163
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.440
so that she sees it as a
violation of constitutional rights. How So,
164
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.440
well, the judge has acknowledged a
few facts. There's a high rate of
165
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.120
sexual abuse, with the court finding
as many as one in four kids have
166
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.440
been victims. There's a lack of
permanent housing, with children being housed in
167
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:02.039
motels and office buildings. There's a
lack of background checks on foster care employees
168
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:07.159
and poor follow up for foster families
who are not following regulations. The judge
169
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:12.440
says she's sick of hearing horror stories
that she feels were preventable. And we
170
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:17.000
begin tonight with the story that you'll
only see here on Fox. An employee
171
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:21.759
with Child Protective Services is caught on
camera telling a fourteen year old girl in
172
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.080
foster care to become a prostitute.
In the video, she tells the CPS
173
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.919
employee she wants food. The CPS
worker tells her to be APPROPS. There's
174
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:34.639
all of this going on, this
sexual abuse, this sleeping on floors,
175
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.799
these you know, kids coming in
worse, leaving worse than they came in.
176
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.919
UM. In some cases, I
think only sixty two of the children
177
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:51.000
who come in as group sibling groups
actually get placed as siblings into the same
178
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.720
foster care, into the same foster
home. That's just traumatic in itself.
179
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:03.799
UM. But now, not too
long ago, remember this, remember this
180
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:11.359
press release investigating gender transitioning procedures as
child abuse. Because the Texas Department of
181
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.960
Family and Protective Services is responsible for
protecting children from Abuse. I hereby direct
182
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.960
your agency to conduct a prompt and
thorough investigation of every any reported instance of
183
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:29.359
instances of these abusive procedures in the
State of Texas, says the Letter to
184
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:34.799
Protect Children from Abuse DFPS and all
other state agencies much followed must follow the
185
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:44.200
law as explained in OG opinion number
KP zero four zero one. Um,
186
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.279
why don't you fix the problems that
you already have before making it worse from
187
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.440
people that don't even need to be
UM investigated? Why would you take why
188
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:59.079
would you investigate somebody like step back, take everything out of it, take
189
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:06.720
all the bullish it of trams and
whatever. If a child is happy in
190
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.440
their home with warm and loving parents, why would you take them away and
191
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:19.559
put them into an overly it's over
capacity? Uh, sexual abuse rampant,
192
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:26.519
Uh, sleeping on the floor.
Look, environment, why would you put
193
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:32.559
them environment? Then you're making them
worse. All of the kids are worse.
194
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:38.920
Okay, So let me wrap this
up because I'm just I'm just getting
195
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:44.720
pissed now this one in particular.
I'm just gonna read through to here's some
196
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:49.480
more facts. Sixti percent of siblings
and foster care were placed together at one
197
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:55.839
of the foster Cares at home foster
care facilities in San Antonio. Foster Care
198
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:02.240
Shelter had two thirty nine citations that
were documented finding of abuse, self harm,
199
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:07.079
medical neglect, and sexual allegations.
Texas has yet to come up with
200
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.200
a way to track where children in
foster care are placed. In one thousand,
201
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.960
seven hundred sixty seven children and you
were missing at some point during the
202
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:21.359
year, within the Department of Family
and Protective Services, they were one eight
203
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.359
confirmed cases of sex trafficking. Um
that I said that one earlier, So,
204
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.200
uh, this one's sex the most
and I need to do a little
205
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:37.440
bit research. It was in a
reputable news um from a reputable news article.
206
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.039
I personally want to go through the
state budget because all of that's public
207
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.200
online. So if you go through
the states where they spend all the money,
208
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.319
it's it's probably in there. It's
just data I need to go through.
209
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:57.559
But here's here's where it is.
Uh. In Governor Abbott took thirty
210
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:03.240
one million from the state's Juvenile Justice
fund so that he could pay for Operation
211
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:11.359
Loan Star, sending National Guard to
the southern border of Texas. Governor Greg
212
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:17.799
Abbott redirected five hundred million from other
agencies to fund Border Security Mission, taking
213
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:23.720
funding from two hundred and ten million
from the state's Health and Human Services Commission
214
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:30.279
over two years and about a hundred
sixty million from the Texas Department of Public
215
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:38.839
Safety. Operation loan Star cost Texas
taxpayers two million dollars a year. Uh
216
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:44.480
So this this is the way beyond, This is way beyond a problem of
217
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:51.599
uh, reproductive healthcare. I wouldn't
have an abortion because I don't want to
218
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.640
have a child. This is a
reality that they didn't. They need to
219
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:57.920
fix on the other end, or
at least addressed on the other end.
220
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:04.680
If if a child can't if a
child has to have a child, uh,
221
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.880
if a child is forced to give
birth not old enough to work,
222
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:15.319
the does a grandmother have to take
custody? Uh? If the grandmother can't
223
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:21.119
take custody and nobody else in the
family can take custody, then I assume
224
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:26.400
the child goes to CPS. Right, Um, so what's the plan there?
225
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:33.279
And then also the minimum wage in
Texas is seven dollars and twenty five
226
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:41.400
cents an hour. So okay,
how are you supposed to buy diapers?
227
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.960
Which are like I don't know I
don't know, I don't remember, but
228
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.160
they're like twenty bucks at least a
month. I think they're like forty bucks
229
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.680
a month. So how are you
supposed to buy that? Um if you
230
00:21:52.920 --> 00:22:02.039
physically aren't able to breastfeed, which
was my case formula. Uh, how
231
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:07.160
are you supposed to go take care
of the baby with no money if you
232
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.319
can't pay for electricity or a place
to live? Like, there's a lot
233
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:15.559
of assumptions that there's gonna be people
to support, but clearly not the state
234
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.839
of Texas because Medicaid is one of
the things that they decided not to um
235
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.440
extend like the rest of this,
like most of the states in the United
236
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:32.039
States, So there's no there's no
plan um. So what I think should
237
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:37.119
happen is that every single man in
the United States should be forced to have
238
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:42.079
a vasectomy and when they're ready to
have children, they can get it reversed.
239
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:45.640
Problem solved. Then we don't have
to deal with any of this.
240
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.599
Okay, So how old are you? Six? Team? Great? Time
241
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.960
for you to get a vasectomy.
You have no choice, no choice for
242
00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.880
you, Uh, no choice in
your body. So vasectomy for you.
243
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:03.759
They're reversible, So it's okay.
Vasectomy sixteen, when you're ready to start
244
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:10.720
a family, you come back and
we'll get that vasectomy reverse. Um,
245
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.920
And so you let, okay,
it's reverse. You've had kids and now
246
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.440
you need a viagra. Oh,
we're not going to have that anymore.
247
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:26.359
It's not a thing because viagra leaves
to children. Viagra results in and pregnancy.
248
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:32.640
That's what it does, medication that
causes pregnancy. Now, clearly i'm
249
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.960
being sarcastic, but let's say this, Um, this, this is okay.
250
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.640
If the solution is women can't control
it, then the solution is men
251
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:48.799
shouldn't be able to either. So
men at sixteen years old must get a
252
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.119
vasectomy, and when they are ready
to have children, then they can go
253
00:23:53.400 --> 00:24:02.599
get the procedure reversed. Problem solved. Right when you're older and you can't
254
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.440
and you can't get an erection,
well that's fine. It doesn't matter.
255
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.160
You're not trying to have a kid, right since the only reason to have
256
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.519
sex is to have a kid,
So why do you even need it if
257
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.319
you want to have a kid.
Maybe until you get somebody pregnant and then
258
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:23.799
we'll take you back off of it. So that's my solution. Um,
259
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:26.640
thanks for listening. I had to
rance about this one. I couldn't take
260
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.359
it anymore. I still can't take
it. And I don't understand why this
261
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.680
isn't a this isn't this isn't in
the news. What is happening after the
262
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:40.000
fact. We need to look even
if we look one year forward, what
263
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.799
are the implications one year forward?
And I'm gonna be talking about that and
264
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.640
writing up about that after I do
my data nerd research. Um, the
265
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.920
cost to the taxpayers. There's no
way this money is gonna come out of
266
00:24:52.920 --> 00:25:00.559
nowhere. Someone's gotta pay for it. We were supposed Texas with supposed to
267
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.559
get help to pay for it from
the federal government, but they didn't follow
268
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.119
the rules. Okay, so taxpayers
are going to have to fill that gap.
269
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.759
There's just no way around it.
People need to think forward. So
270
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:17.839
again my solution, this is my
solution. At sixteen, all men need
271
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.079
to get vasectomys. When they're ready
to have children, they can get reversed
272
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.200
and then um older. If they're
not able to get it up, they
273
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:32.799
can have their viagra, but only
if they're trying to get pregnant. Otherwise,
274
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.559
no viagra for you. And as
soon as you have that child,
275
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.759
you get off of viagra, and
as soon as you're done having children in
276
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:48.839
general, you get that vasectomy again. And we're on the same page anyway.
