This is Empire Talks back. I'm Wallace Allen here on the case for truth and justice with the right information to help improve the situation. Part of that folks is to remind you that you got to vote early. Do not let November catch you with your ballot still in your hand. Vote in October. Get that thing done. I understand that there is a potential Trump terror. You know the man's a bully. Potential. Well, we're fighting it. There are people just as determined to prevent his terrorism and bullying as he is to present it. But I'm telling you, no need in getting out in that tall cotton, gone and vote early. Let those who are prepared for the battle do the battle.

You and I, we need to vote. Vote early. Get your decision down on paper. Figure it out now or as soon as you can and vote. And I think it's important for me to point out that our president is indeed... An example for your children, my children, everybody who believes that being president of the United States is a position that we should honor and respect and try to be like. That was cool when Obama was in. It wasn't really that bad with Biden. He was at least assuming a position of humility and compassion. But now we have the I man. As far as he's concerned, there need be no other letter in the alphabet, but I. But then, if he were alone, that would be great. But he's not. We're blessed today to have as a guest, Mr. Jerry L. Green. Jerry is a author. He's written a book called Bullying is a drug. Jerry Green is a United States Air Force veteran who continues to serve by advocating for students, families, and employees affected by harassment. affected by intimidation, affected by bullying, discrimination, and retaliation through thousands of consultations and real-world interviews and interventions. Jerry has witnessed how bullying can spread through individuals, families, schools, workplaces, and entire communities. His book, Bullying is a drug. Reframes bullying as more than an isolated behavior or one-time incident. It explores an addiction cycle. An addiction cycle. Bullying is an addiction cycle, fueled by power, silence, insecurity, and repeated harm. Jerry combines his military service, personal experience, advocacy experience, compassion, his accountability and practical strategies to help audiences move from silence to safety, from pain to purpose, and from awareness to meaningful action. Meaningful action. Mr. Green, how are you this morning? Fantastic Wallace, thank you for having me. Well, you've taken on quite a load. I know that advocating for students is a beginning, but as you move into that basic problem that you see of bullying, I see that you have recognized that it is not isolated, it's not isolated to students, though we as a society tend to leave it at an age for young folk.

Yeah, young people bully. Old people, you know, they strategize and use a few little intimidation tactics here and there to make things occur the way they want to inspire blah, blah, blah, blah, bloop de blam, bloop to blue. Jerry, I had my understanding of bullying expanded as I've talked to you in the last couple of days. I realized that it's pretty easy to accept, accept things that should be accepted, strikeed out of the activity of us on a normal basis, a regular basis. But people tend to think that telling other folks what to do and having leverage over them is a good thing. I'd like for you to explain to my audience, our audience today, why bullying and these other varieties of intimidation and so-called inspiration all really boil down to the same thing. Mr. Green, you have the class. I'm sitting in it, and I am paying attention. Ryan C. Crest here. So every great barbecue takes a little patience. And while the food does its thing, you can enjoy a little Chumba Casino. The perfect recipe. Chumba Casino, always good to have you back. No purchase necessary. VGW Group, void for prohibited by law. CTs and Cs and C is 21 plus sponsored by Chumba Casino. So let's start off and talk about the reference or the baseline platform for the book. Bullying is a drug. It's not only the book. It's the organization and it is the work we do. Because the same endorphins you get from bullying are the same endorphins you get from getting high. So... People, not just students, enjoy the high. And it's not just in the environment of K-12 school districts. It's within organizations. Because you can look now and see the mean girls in school also belong as adults to organizations. And they're still using that same tactics to belittle and... minimize other women who are not in that organization. So when we look at the bullying, and we also have to look at it as an adverse childhood experience, because it might be a bad relationship or situation at home, that that's where the research is done, but there's not enough research done for when kids are hurt in school. And the thing, when you heard a baby in school, now because of the law, they're forced to continue to come back in that environment unless the parents decide to homeschool. So we have laws that are set to protect students from bullying, but we have circumstances in real life that encourage people to bully. Yes. So let's look at this right here. So right now.

We see jobs being lost, people being laid off. We see all the gas high, waters high, everything is going on. So what's means is it's stress in the household. And when a bigger kid feels that from their parents, now they could go to school to bully a younger kid. And what happens? So now you're looking at your water bill and you're wondering, wow, why is my water bill so much higher this month? Because your student is taking two or three showers because someone told them they stink. They're brushing their teeth more because someone said their breath stinks or they're making fun of their teeth because we know kids have challenges before they get braces at a certain ages, you know, with their teeth. Jerry, you've known me long enough to know that I've often said that. I kind of despise the concept of sitting up talking to somebody and then going to and look in a mirror and see that I had a little hanging in my nose. Right, right. And the idea that that person didn't tell me is offensive to me. And the idea that I'd be talking to one of my friends and have not gotten rid of all of the onions and cilantro that was in my lunch. and it's on my breath and I'm talking to them and they know I'm getting ready to go to another meeting and they don't say anything to me, Wallace, you know, you might want to take a man. Right. You know, because they don't want to bully, because they don't want to give me information and because maybe the last person they said gave a good hint to. considered it. What do you mean my breath stinks? Well, I didn't say your breath stink. I just, you know, offered you a mint because, you know, it is kind of offensive. Right, right. It's kind of tired. It's kicking back. Yeah, so how do we, how do we distinguish there? Because as a child, well, that's the thing. As a child, they haven't went through enough life to understand that it's, uh, that when someone tells you as an adult, then you're strong enough to receive it as, hey, they try to help me. But the kids, you know, kids are cruel in school. And even in corporate America in the workplace, you have bullying. So the same situations that happen in school, and a kid is traumatized at four, five, six years old, seven years old, now they go into... And it's the same scenario if they're being retramatized. So when we have a case, a situation at a school where a kid has been being bullied, and we may have an instructor or adults around who are the result, they think the positive results of people having overcoming bullying or having become used to it enough to not pay attention to it.

Adults accept bullying as long as it really isn't affecting them too much. You may talk to a baseball player, professional baller, or a great salesperson, and they'll say, well, you know, the fact that we were having a pie in the face contest. motivated me to go out and talk to a few extra people and I made a couple of extra sales. And I did not get that pie in my face in front of all of the other salespeople at the end of the sales day because I didn't make a sale. And that intimidation is there, but it helps them make some money. And that's what they're there for. But there's going to be somebody that's embarrassed. Hopefully that guy's embarrassed because he only made five sales and everybody else made six. And he can at least smile as he gets hit in the face with the pie because he made some money. But Jerry, we accept these things. Our president bullies at an international level. And people who watch him, who work for him, have taken up the same persona. So at the same time, we're telling our kids in our school districts and our people who are working with these kids that they shouldn't be bullied, that it creates lifetime issues with them, are we really getting to ears that are sensitive to our concern here? Jerry, let's take a short break and let you think about that. And when we come back, please jump right on that wagon. This is Empire Talks back. I'm Wallace Allen. We're speaking to Mr. Jerry Green, the author of Bullying is a drug. And we'll be right back to see how high you guys have been getting.

Boy, we're prohibited by law. See, terms and conditions, 21 plus. Bullying isn't just a problem. It's an epidemic. And like a drug, it spreads, fast, silent, and devastating. After more than 8,500 consultations, Jerry L. Green reveals how bullying isn't just a moment in time. It's an addiction to power, control, and pain. Bullying as a drug was written to expose the psycho and to help you break it. Bullying is a drug, the truth that heals. Order now at bullying is a drug.com.

Well, we're back. This is Empire Talks Back. I'm Wallace Allen, and Jerry O. Green is on the line. All right, Mr. Green, I'd ask you a question earlier before the break. Are you ready? Let's get into it. So the environment now, because of what's going on in a household, is going to create more bullying situations, even from staff. A third of calls we get is from staff. So school districts say they have a zero tolerance policy, but bullying is going on every day. Anywhere for one in three to one in five students are being bullied. So bullying is a bigger issue than drug use because you don't have one in three or one in five students doing drugs. So what happens is, is a student is being bullied. staff know about it or see the kids different behaviors, which are from the indicators that something is going on, but they don't intervene. So when we get the call, we start doing the investigation with our 15-minute consultation seeing what's going on. If they do bring us on the team, then we know because of the legislation. where we stand at the position we have of authority to hold school districts accountable. Jerry, you said we, and we have not talked about your organization and your advocacy and, you know, how you come in and help students. And I guess it would be important, too, to find out how students are introduced to you, how parents, why a parent comes to you and what's happening in the classroom that brings that attention to where they are, I guess. needing an advocate. So maybe I should get you to back up a little bit. Let's talk about Johnny in class and what has occurred with Johnny and how we have come up with the need for an advocate. Okay. So Johnny's in class and now Johnny is being bullied. So he's being talked about and being bumped. They might even take his food in the cafeteria. So no, Johnny can't concentrate on his education. And he goes home and tells his mom or dad or guardian, hey, I can't eat. This kid keeps bothering me. Da, da, da. So now they call the school and say, Johnny's being bullied. Please address that. Two weeks later, Johnny gets socked. He gets assaulted. Now, Johnny comes home crying and says, I don't want to go back to school. So that right there is a violation of Johnny's civil rights because the school district did not protect him because the other student messed with Johnny's academics, mess with Johnny's personal property.

mess with Johnny's position to participate in extracurricular activities and also affected Johnny's mental state. And Johnny had told the school that this guy was picking on him. The school district was given notice. And it doesn't have to be a teacher. It's anyone who's an employee at the district that a student or a parent talk to that's notice. So Johnny's in the cafeteria, and every day the kids are taking his dessert, his fruit, whatever. And maybe they slap him upside the head, and he decides to slap one of them back, and they got into a little tussle in the cafeteria. So, right. So now with that right there, when Johnny was the victim, In California, that's California, end code 48900. He was assaulted. When Johnny fights back, that's 48,900, A2. That's mutual combat. So when Johnny initially was assaulted and told the teachers, and they said, ah, Johnny, don't worry about it. That was an assault that the kid got away with or the school let him get away with. Correct. And encourage that kid to feel comfortable slapping Johnny around a second time. Correct. And this second time, Johnny hit back. However, Johnny now is also cited. Correct. So with that, Johnny's probably should get two days. The other kid should get five. Okay, so let's stop here because I know a lot of parents are going to say, well, I'm not sending my kid to school to be a punching bag. And I don't suggest that. I suggest your student should defend themselves. I'm not going to tell a parent their student should sit there and be punched on. But there are two different situations. Because I'm going to address why the school district didn't protect Johnny initially while we deal with the suspension. So there are two different situations we're dealing with there, but the school district is liable and they're wrong. So the advice to the parent. So the advice to the parent. Boy, and I'm glad just as a new advice, because the advice I gave in mind were coming up was, you know, kick a bully's ass, excuse me, for saying it like that, but that was the idea. Stop the bully from bullying you. You catch a bully bullying anybody, you know. Anyway, so my kids are all safe. They came through school, none of them went to jail for that. So let's unpack that. Yeah. Because a bully does not have boundaries. The victim has the set boundaries. No different than takers don't have boundaries. Givers have to set boundaries.

Meaning if you don't stop a bully, meaning the student or the administration, they're going to continue. And that's the situation in most districts now is Johnny did it. So now Robert thinks he can do it. So now Karen thinks she can do it. So now Susie thinks she can do it. So now you have an entire class. of 30 students who's terrorized by four or five students because the teacher did enforce the zero tolerance policy of bully it. That's pretty tough. So a parent, not a parent, a parent like a parent Lee, but a parent giving advice to his child about dealing with the bully at school. Looking for a little Hollywood-style fun?

Yeah, you got a call for help. Not because you can't defend yourself, but because we don't want you to get a citation. I don't want you to end up being the one that... goes to court and has people care about it. So, Johnny's... Wallace, that happens a lot. That the school district didn't protect this student. And when the victim got put in the corner, they had to fight back. So now, at any time students fight, it still can become a penal code in actual assault, a case. So you're talking on the right lines. So if the parent and the student has warned the teacher that Billy Bob is trying to beat up on my kid every day, and Billy Bob beats up on my kid another day and my kid doesn't do anything. Have we seen situations where the school actually acts on the information that they've got a bully prior to this student having to defend himself? Sometimes. Because I would think that that type of action would be the first thing that a school would want to have the opportunity to do early in the year was demonstrate what they would do when a bully rises above the crowd. Yes. And makes themselves known. That's what that, if school districts really had zero tolerance, like the policy says, when a student violates their education code, they would discipline them. And if they got to be in school detention or if it needs to be a suspension, other kids would know. But it's just the opposite because Johnny gets away with it.

Karen, going to try it. So now the environment is rich for creating bullies. All right. And then there's the incident where the child watches WWE wrestling or mixed martial arts with their dad or uncle. And they see the enjoyment that goes along with being a fan of such. And they go to school and they want to demonstrate to their schoolmates. And they innocently jump off the table onto somebody because they think at school. And now they are, they've talked to someone. Yes. So now that right there, that student who assaulted the other student should be disciplined. And so it comes down to if the school district actually. did their discipline policy like is written, we would not have a lot of the bullying situations. They would have a lot of parents who are concerned and upset probably at the beginning of the year. And we're going to take another short break. And while we're taking that break, I'm going to call my son-in-law. Because we have my granddaughter's a W.W.E. Wrestling club. I want to be sure if she goes to school tomorrow that she understands. Because one of my sons jumped off of the bunk bed onto his brother when they were young. And I let him know. I said, oh, that stuff ain't cool. That's fake. And he said, well, he didn't know it was fake. And the one that jumped on said, they don't feel fake. So innocence can lead into guilt. Yes. And our children are innocently picking up our habits and the things we expose them to and the things that the heroes in their life demonstrate. And they can get in trouble for that. And how it lingers and affects them throughout life is very important. Jerry, some of the long-term effects of bullying. Can you talk about that right after this break? This is our power talks back. I'm speaking with Mr. Jerry Green, the author of Bullying is a drug. We'll be right back. In California, about one in every ten babies is born too early.

The idea too is that Being bullied as a child can affect how you live your life. Jerry, talk to us a little bit about that. So let's look at a situation where a student is being bullied. So someone have had their shoes being attacked or so on the footwear they wear. Someone's been talking about them. Well, if I'm wearing Nikes and you're wearing Adidas, chances are, I may say your shoes are Adidas. They're not Nikes. Yes, they're not Jordans. Yeah, they're not Jordans. So now because of that, that student creates a complex. So now they grow up. And if someone steps on their shoes, now they might retaliate with violence. Or because of that, they only want to purchase expensive shoes and stay in the known with fashion. So their whole lifestyle is created around the bullying situation happened when they were very young. So also what happens is you look at.

is that the book, Bullying is a Drug, is the 15-letter acronym of what happens when you bully. So it breaks your confidence. It undermines your self-worth. It limits your potential. Why is that? Because now you don't have the confidence to compete for a job, for a school, for a trade school, because your confidence has been broken. I tell parents that when you bring me on the team, I'm protecting your generational wealth. How is that? Because if your student loses confidence, has less self-worth, you can leave them $2 million, but they're going to buy relationships. They're going to buy a husband. They're going to buy a wife. They're going to buy a girlfriend. They're going to buy friends and go through that money. Because that's how they feel they're going to have their friends, and that's the value. So that's why it's so important that I tell families is the first call during a consultation. When I talk it to them, I'll tell them they're a student and everyone else in a household needs therapy because it's traumatic for the whole family. Because if your baby come home after being assaulted, your natural response is going to want to react with actions of violence. War. Yeah, but you can't do that. You have too much to lose. So now you have to talk to someone to help you navigate that system because you never been there before either. So it's brand new to you. That's one side of it, Wallace. The other side is this, is that your teacher when you were young, or let's say myself, I always used myself, when I was young, said I wasn't going to be worth anything. And my life didn't work out the way I wanted it to. So now that teacher I had, now is a district coordinator or superintendent. And now because of my PTSD of dealing with the school, I can't even have the strip to go advocate for my own student who've been assaulted. That's the effects when a kid is bullied as a young child. So they just changes your whole trajectory of your life. Plant that seed of inadequacy. Over time, we let that turn into a tree of misinformation about who we are. I get that. Yes. As adults, are we as affected by bullying? Are we approached by bullying? Do we recognize it as bullying? And is it as critical as having been bullied as a child? Yes, because the thing is this, is that if we've been bullied as a child, different things of people, the way someone says different things to us, the way someone treats us, puts us back at that same mindset as that kid, meaning that how many times have you heard someone say,

I'm not your kid because when they were a kid, their parent talked to them a certain way. And when someone as an adult talk to them that same way, it brings back that feeling. And they have to let that person know, I'm not your kid. You're not my daddy. Exactly. Yeah. Okay. And I guess then when we get on the basketball court and we're playing, you know, to the 21. And we're both at 17 and I'm trying to get to you and I get a basket ahead of you. And I say, yeah, I'm your daddy. Who's your daddy? This kind of signifying, as we call it, is designed to break down the next person's ego. Correct. Now, is there something different about that type of expression and the bullying that takes place? in the workplace where the salesman is told that, you know, it's kind of, your string is kind of short, buddy, you're a couple of sales short. I'm not sure that you're going to be here next month if you don't get these sales done. Is that intimidation? Is that... Inspiration, is that just telling it like it is? It all depends who the person is and who's delivering the message. And how they deliver it? Because let's face it, most of these work environments are terrorist environments. They lead by fear. You know, they tell you, if you don't get to sale, you're out. You know, so that they think is motivating you, but that's leading by fear. We've been here in companies 30, 40 years. Oh, they have a culture there. Yeah, they have a culture there. That's a culture of fear for when people go. They're fearful of losing the job, so they stay in line. They don't say anything against the company. They don't say we need to approve here. They just fall in line. Do they fall in line just because of the fear or because the fear is protecting a really big check? Yes. So Wallace, I advocate. So we'll trade our integrity and our oof in life for an extra bit of money. Yes. Or another piece of watermelon. Yeah, you know, another butter biscuit. Yeah. You know, so it's one of those things to whereas I probably know 10 to 15 educators because I advocate for educators also that are in therapy. because they still go into that hostile work environment because they have a $200,000 student loan. They have a mortgage. They have a 521 plan for their student. They want to have a college fund and they have a card note. So they have to suffer in silence. And that's the work we do. And we have an app.

You know, that's right here, the crest behind me is safety over silence.app because we know people are suffering in silence. And we what this app does is that when you load your information to the app or register online. You register as a parent or guardian with your name, email, phone number, superintendent name, email, sister's superintendent name email, and principal name email, and the director of public safety name email. So if your student is being bullied and they have their phone and they say, I'm being bullied by another student in the cafeteria, when they put send, all six of us get an email. But me and the parent also get a text message. The information to the school staff is anonymous because we don't want the school staff then to bully that student and say nothing happened. So now the parent have the choice to call me, to call their student, or call the school to see what's going on with their student. Sounds good. Yeah. Sounds like a... like a reasonable plan. How have people responded to that possibility? We're getting more parents signed it on now because we just wrote it out about a month ago. You know, after doing a lot of research and seeing what's in the marketplace. And the difference is also, let me say this, Wallace, this is not the first kind of app that's out in the marketplace like this. But this is the first app that I know of, which gives the information to the parent. Because school districts buy apps and information like this, but suppress it. But we're exposing it, and that's the work we do, is bringing things to light and letting parents know that you're not going through this situation by yourself. It's other students that's going through the same situation at that school site or within the district. So it's systemic. So it's like anything else. If you get a flat tire, you may know how to change it. But the guy down at the tire shop knows how to change it faster and more efficiently because he does it all day. That's it. Same thing with a parent who's got a child and having issues at school. An advocate like yourself. knows the ropes. Yes. And you know what to ask for and you know when you're being shuffled around when they don't provide the right information as you ask for it. So advocacy is important. Jerry, I recommend your book. Tell people how to get it one more time. And one of the things that I'd like to do at this point is, you know, take a short break and come back and explain to people again how we as individuals.

can respond to bullying and that we are in an atmosphere nationwide where bullying is not only accepted, it seems to be propagated as the way to do things because our president does it. And he's hired on people that if they don't do it, he gets rid of them. And so what do we do when it's time to vote? If somebody at the polls decides they want to be a bully and try to push you around and tell you where to stand. And if they happen to be non-pole workers, you know, how do you do that? It's just as easy for a parent on their way to vote to get caught up in an altercation with some idiot and lose their vote and end up having to go explain it in court. That's why I say vote early. don't want to be involved with the silliness that is apparently planned to take place at some of the polling places. This is Empire Tech talks back. We want to take a short break. Let's see if we can't separate those, Mike, separate those at commercial for me. And we come back and I'm going to talk a little bit about what we can be doing. Since bullying is such a problem, maybe we should spend some time figuring out how to be nice to each other. We'll be right back. In California, about one in every 10 babies is born too early. But for black women, the risk of giving birth early called preterm birth are nearly twice as high. Early births mean more health risk for both the baby and the mother. That's why the black infant health program, B.I.H is such a vital resource in our community. BIAH recognizes that racism, economic stress and where you live can all affect the mother's health and the baby's chance of survival. The program offers a free culturally supportive program for black and African American women. If you're a black woman who is pregnant or has had a baby in the last six months, BIAH is for you, regardless of your income. Program participants can earn essentials like diapers, clothes, baby supplies, and safe sleep supplies. BIAH is more than just classes. It is a community where you can build friendships, gain confidence, and feel seen and heard by someone that cares about you. If you or someone you know is pregnant or has a newborn, reach out. These programs are free, supportive, and grounded in love, respect, and culture. Together we can build healthy beginnings for black families.

All right, I'm back. This is Empire Talks Back. I'm Wallace Allen on the case for truth and justice with the right information to help improve the situation. One of the things we need to do, folks, is be nice to each other as an African-American community who has gone through so much from our first experience here as captured enslaved people, ignoring the presence that was here prior to that. They called it Moores, not M-O-R-E, but M-O-O-R, dark-skinned people from Africa who occupied America for a long time. But we have black-owned businesses. That's a good way to support who we are and demonstrate to the world that kindness and self-support is possible, even as we are picked on. pushed around and told that we are less than four-fifths of it. Come on, please. Anyway, let me tell you about Pat's Place at 26-001 East Baseline. That's the first light east of Stirling, first light west of Victoria. in San Bernardino. He's open Wednesday through Sunday. That's today. From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. You get the fried chicken, the smothered chicken, fried catfish meatloaf, smothered pot roast, smothered turkey wings.

You can give rock a call, too. 909-275-3360. 909-275-3360. He's on Route 66. Go get your kicks. Not a bad thing to do. Jerry, I say we should be nice to each other, and we should make an effort. To not bully. How do we make an effort to not bully?

Because it's been baked into our beings since we were kids. It's been baked into our being as we watched our TV shows, as we listen to our leaders. They use words like, you got to do this, you got to do that. They push us around as though we don't have a brain to make decisions. How do we change that, Jerry? How do we change that approach? We start with the man in the mirror. And once we move away from the mirror, we see the same person as we see ourselves. And look at that person as if you're talking to yourself. And do you want to be hurt by the words that you are saying to yourself? that self-talk that we do sometimes is a lot worse when it goes towards someone else. So that's how we need to address treating others better, fairly. And to respond to your, to the bullying, how parents should deal with bullying at the schoolhouse. I'll say this, and this is a blanket statement, but I'll stand by it. I've dealt with a lot of school districts who will straight out lie to a parent. And when I get on or they bring me on the team, I understand because I've been through it so many times. Again, we have over 9,200 consultations, almost 1,000 meetings with schools, meetings with different school districts. So I heard the jargon before, and I understand that I'm thinking three or four steps ahead because I know what's coming down the pipe. So parents, the best thing you can do when you're dealing with a school district is first, don't go in there with a hot head because they're going to look at your actions and deal with you before they deal with the situation of your baby. They want you to come in there mad because then they can deal with that. Deflect away from the issue. Correct. And if you go in there upset, cussing and fussing. They will hit you with a civility code. And what that means is they can put a restraining order on you so now you can't go to the school to handle the business for your student. So understand you have to go in with a level head and ask for everything to be documented. When they start talking, the three questions you want to ask. Where is it located in the student handbook? Where is it located on the district website? Where is it located in legislation or the law? Which is it in California is the end code. Where is it located? Show me that and what you're doing to let me know you're doing right. So we should assume. Assume that the school district wants to do the right thing and go to talk to them very calmly. and very efficiently, and very Jack Webbish. I don't know if you remember Jack Webb. He was the policeman on, what was the name of that show, but he said Just the Facts, ma'am. Just Facts. Oh, yeah, Adam 12. No, no. That was it at 12? No, you're so young, my goodness. It's funny. What was it?

No, gosh, you guys are, man, I guess I'm sure. Jack Webb was on a TV show. It was the police, one of the first police shows. And he said, Justice Fax, ma'am. I'm going to get to. Oh, no, no. Yeah, I remember it was a. I can't think of the name to show either. But yeah, he would, because they go off, he said, just the facts. Just the facts, ma'am. Just the fact. But the idea was he was always so calm. Everybody else was, you know, they could be hyped up either way, but he was always calm. And the idea, folks, is that if we want to be efficient and we want to be defending our children, we need to go and prove to the folks that the child did not learn any bad habits from the parent.
