One word Chris Jones podcast talking with Chris this month about how how is it bringing a child in to the world. Now when we're dealing with everything that were dealing with with you know that the riots around the country and around the world the pandemic that we've all been basically quarantined from everybody else. Is it scary to be a new dad or a dad to be in this time. I'm so excited. So excited. I have a little bit of perspective because I got into his three books and over so you know you if you have been an argument in 1920 and I just want to read the case, you can look back and take a minute there will be done in the past to get the interesting thing is that my twins were born in 2001. In November 2001 after the attack on the on our country and on the 9/11 attack is and at that time I was scared to death like what are we doing bringing children into this world at this time but you know they've done really well and then they graduate this year when everything's kinda shut down so I mean they had a couple of trying times. I think that'll push them to be that much better in the future, and my hope is that's the case for baby Jones as well. Very good perspectives that motivate 18 years old. Yeah. Like the young kids like your kids age can't fight a war that noted they are going to happen if there were any evildoers and therapist to be a fast war were just getting it the dominant he's been dead for a while now, when you see the world doing now that you know you had the riots happening around the country and you know I heard this morning on the radio that there happening around the world that there's some writing happening around the world for George Floyd. Do you think that this will end up being something or changing for something like that when Rodney King when that happened. I thought that that was going to change the world and I don't think it did gas and try to change the world as I try to make the world stop spending anything like this change of enactment of Jackson, but we've been with the world. We spend together. You know that the long way. I still have hope because I'm not going to be salt." I was reading very light misinformation going around saying that George Floyd didn't die that the priest and actor and stirring up some conversations that should not be a conversation at all. So who comes up with this conspiracy BS that's what I want to know this thing is true for Sandy Hook people so there's to get your gun Nazis had PR people ban public relations that even the client had public relations people they work on their image, and someone said no when and if he created this happened, yes, let's push that story and the accident happened. That's why I love journalism even more now. One of the first things he suddenly started talking today is that you are reading in the history books and that this kind of stuff is happened forever, and I believe that what you just I believe that I think that nowadays we're more aware of it hyper. Where is it now because of the fact that we have everything at the palm of her hands who can speak and get information immediately if not sooner. Assess happening and things in the past weren't always that way because I mean in a think about when when our parents were children that they went to the movie theater and theirs in Israel at the beginning of the about of a show. Oh yeah, that was under comedy side think that the bank robbers back in the day. Yeah, they rob a bank. Maybe have gone and shoot their initials into the side of the wall. I get it with copper and the boy. No police and then you know that when I was because I'm 20 years older than you. When I was a kid we'd find about it on you know in the newspaper because it came in. No sooner when you were a kid. It was things are on television immediately when it happened because they had to come up with, you know, ways to do that and then you know when my kids is Internet and by the time your child is older, who it might just be like thought processed into their heads. I know that so that's a weird way of thinking about things, but immediately look at how how things have changed and how we get our news now compared to the way that we got it in the past and it's just really right. I get that physical paper to my house delivery, five days a week. So many things you have so much technology like the CCX to watch the weather channel and she's like, how come we can't stop hurting we can on their we can't stop 20th is running the family's home. The more things change, Chris the morning to say the same minute identity feel their status in other states. I think the date that I got the answers and then something happens that I have no idea what the hell's going on anywhere you have control of my own life. What about something else you know is right. It's crazy. So let me you know I hate to but I hate to bring race into our conversation, we doing so being a black man now with what's going what's going on you know with with the everything in the in the world right now. I mean, is it different than it was two weeks ago, all without a doubt to his guy went running and running and now I go running and I don't want to wait a police car, but I feel obligated to live in a neighborhood that has a lot of police officer next to me. I don't want to leave. It's not right away when walking the dog. Like to go running my running too fast, and still something. How do I look like I'm clearly a runner and not losing someone's home to me that is me being sensitive remember an Georgia man was shot by civilian for running or jogging and in that man was are you are you more aware of it because it because you're black I'm aware of that I did not say that I would be oh you mean when you came to Chicago in your talk about when he got pulled over and that there are some black people and excellent. He told the story we were laughing at what she said a little bit of you being naïve in your my wonderful friend said I was very quiet and I have the little things are opposite and we were like yeah like that's where it starts to get pulled over like we asked permission on the department let them know my wallet in my pocket. Can I get it, like we get super scared we get pulled over when I was told the story and then you do, you mentioned that to me I was you know at the time is 2019 or 2018 and whenever was no surprise that happens, you know, in those days, and now all this is 2020 and the PS it happened in Minneapolis is unacceptable. I mean it's it it's hard to believe that that kind of crap happens in 2020 and then I'm embarrassed to say I don't member the name of the way I think it was Breanna. She was in bed with her boyfriend or husband and police Louisville first in the home without a warrant would identify and complete the her boyfriend was in the house was a burglar hired a couple shot fire multiple shots and they killed her and she was the first to find out if we can't find her and she is gone now but it wasn't on camera and the man who shot the burglar was brought up on trials tempted and drop now but Stacy she argued. Why is it that when a black man shot killed by police was unarmed. Get national attention and was a black woman don't hear about it. That's it. That's a legitimate question Chris. I don't know if you think I don't. Do you think a lot of what we have or having now is caused by media. I wouldn't say that I wouldn't say that that's wrong. If we unpacked some ugly stuff he always gives more prestige and power to men. And so when something is fighting against the powers that be. A man is usually attacked track down what happened to unpacked it further and be very ugly if a black man, was accused of raping a white woman went to kill him. I would show up in 2020 oh nine in the okay okay okay you get accused of like Emmett till was a Chicago kitty went out and allegedly whistled at a white woman and a light knock showed up or he was staying his cousin, and held them for a few days… I just tortured and then the men were later acquitted, and then wrote a book saying and I was one of the great awareness about all this to say we don't protect women fighting to get married and got to that happens to woman when I will be doing in their claim that the boat when it's on camera. I would like okay now I see what I believe are all the facts and opinions and then people hate it is semi final thoughts they Chris last night I couldn't sleep too well that I kept thinking about all lives matter. One of the suburbs of Chicago. There was a black watch another project in all lives just across the street and if you're going to say all live in that I'm saying you would like an angry person you are going that I don't love arguing all lives matter, my life matter as a white person on each putting down my value as a white person I would say you don't believe all lives matter because it is separate from the parent right now and intentions you don't believe in ice member life matters. You don't believe that some across the border illegally matters you don't believe that kids have the right to grow up and not get shot in our own American schools are. You don't believe all my it's a fine argument to last about two seconds really truly heart wanted to be an advocate for all lives matter worth you wouldn't be angry in the way that you are.
