Preventing Tragedies Seems Impossible Is It Us?

you yesterday. Uh, the schedule is gonna be a little off because I have a myriad of appointments over the next two days. You know, if if I were dating a doctor, it would it would be actually more helpful to me because it appears they're the ones I'm seeing socially highly said the chatroom, Hello, everybody. The chatroom is at YouTube dot com. Forwards, Ashley Correll. Two programming notes before we begin. First of all, yes, these schedules a

little weird this week. Second of all, Landon, Okay, I want to talk to all of you patrons. Okay, most of you are the reason this show exists, and you know a lot of you pledge ten fifteen twenty some of you one hundred, and then life happens and you

have to change your pledge. And I have to tell you I was on KGO radio doing it from my front room before I got my tough studio and the United States George W. Bush was president ick and the United States was talking about chemical warfare and biological warfare.

People were rushing to get cipro in case a FRAX was released, and they actually the US government put out a notice that you should get plastic and you know vis Queen and duct tape, should you need to make a closet into a safe space to be in case of biological attack. And I went on air and said, the only reason they're saying that is so they don't have to provide body bags, because there is no way in hell that duct tape and plastic is going to stop you in a closet from being, you know, a

victim of biological warfare. And a scientist called in from Antarctica with a group of scientists. There were four others there with him. How they were listening to me or why, I'll never know, but that started a love affair with the Correll cast that has lasted almost twenty years. Landon would show up at my live shows at the Wrathroom and ask if he could broadcast it to the friends in Antarctica. He would bring a computer and everything, and he would pay for a ticket for every person that

was gonna watch on the video. So if there were four people watching on video and he was one person in person, he'd buy five tickets. So Landon has been one hundred dollars a month supporter forever. But of course situations change and economics change, and all of my Antarctica boys have now split up and they're no longer in their little underground area. They're in Antarctica, which I always thought sounded fun. Four men trapped underground for months. Hell yeah.

And this morning he had to amend this pledge from one hundred down to twenty and twenty is a fabulous pledge, by the way, twenty hours a month. And he felt a need to apologize. And I just want to tell anyone, whether you've given a one time donation to the show or an ongoing monthly donation through Patreon at patreon dot com, you don't have to apologize one time. I'm twelve times, or in Landon's case, twenty years worth of support forever will have my gratitude and my love and my thanks.

Whether it's a one time donation of twenty dollars or two hundred, or two thousand, or in one case, ten thousand, whatever the case might be, you all will never know how much reaching into your pockets in these times, whether it's been for five dollars a month, or ten dollars a month, or one hundred a month, or one thousand a month, whatever it's been, you will never know how

much that has touched me. Because for me, being an old school broadcaster, it's almost demeaning to have to ask you to support these multi billion dollar entertainment corporations that charge these huge streaming charges, and they want to and they still make billions of dollars. I'm not like that. I can't do that. I don't want anyone to ever be strapped. Because I've been so broke where I've had to count change to go to taco bell. I've been so broke where I've had to borrow twenty dollars to

put gas in the car. I know what it's like to reach into your pocket and give that money away. And so to all of you patrons at patreon dot com, forward slash really Carrell, or to anyone who might have gone to PayPal dot me, forward slash really Carrell and donated just a one time donation to anybody who has just listened to the show, commented, hit like and subscribe, shared that We're not going back video, which is up

to six hundred plus views. Now, to any of you that in any way have done anything to support this show on KFI or kgo or now at the Corell cast here from Vegas, you have my undying gratitude, unending gratitude. And whether it's a dollar or five. I have people on welfare, on government aid, and all they can afford is two dollars a month, but they do it, and that's more than than many other people do. So it's

always the poorest people that give the most. And I know that, and I love you, and I thank you Landon. I thank you for twenty five years of support of this show, for showing up at live shows and paying for people that aren't even there, for being one hundred dollars a month subscriber for probably five years to like six thousand dollars. I thank you. I thank you all I'm gonna get Tierry. I thank you all for your support because what we're doing here is little, but I

think it's important. So thank you. Thank you for spreading the word, thank you for reposting the videos, thank you for liking and subscribing, and thank you for going to patreon dot com and giving four dollars, five dollars or ten dollars or whatever you can give, because it's enough where whatever you're doing, it's enough. If it's a dollar, it's enough. If it's five, it's enough. If it's ten, it's enough. Do I want Patreon to be up above thirteen hundred dollars? Sure I do. And is it down

to eight hundred dollars a month now? Yes it is. Would I like to build that up by five hundred a month? Yes I would, but only with people who can afford it. So thank you, all of you. Thank you. I'm all right, get all emotional here. My emotions are all over the place. Today I'm getting my breast scanned,

I'm getting my groin scanned. In this afternoon, I'm probably having a tube stuck up my penis because I'm going to see the urologist, and they love to do that as much as dermatologists love to come in with the canon freeze you all over. And then tomorrow I go see the surgeon for the results of this and of this down here, and the urologist today will either order

more test or whatever. So you know, in the sleep study didn't go well, and I've just this week, this week, you know, and I've got this great song, and maybe will we start with frustration is fuel and then segue into the tragedy back in Georgia because I'm frustrated right now. We're not going back. Is the best song I've ever written, and Thea's performance is one of her best performances. And for it to only be viewed six hundred times, I'm grateful.

Stevie Wonder three days ago released a song about the election, and he's got fifty two thousand views, which is more than me ten times more, but no one hundred times more. But that being said, he's Stevie Wonder and his video has only gotten sixty thousand views, so in comparison, you know, I think we're about four percent as famous as Stevie Wonder,

and we've got about four percent of the views. So but I'm frustrated and I don't have money, and again I'm not saying send me big checks unless you could afford it. If you guys believe in the song, If someone out there believes in the song and you've got five grand lying around and want to be an executive producer, I'll slap your name on it. We will hire radio,

people will hire whatever. But you know that's not going to happen, so barring that, you know, and even if it did, you don't make a lot of money back in music. I just want it to be out there during this election cycle. I want people to hear it because everyone that does loves it. So there's a frustration there, and I know that you, as Americans, feel this frustration that I'm feeling about the song about so many things, for instance, about our country. You know that our country

can be good. You know that you've seen it. You've seen the good that the country can do. You've seen the good that government can do, You've seen the things. You know that there are humans out there that can do remarkably positive things, and you're frustrated that we are mired down in this horribleness that is Donald Trump and mad Maybe in your own life, you know you can

achieve more. You know you can do more, You know that you can go to a next level, but getting to that next level seems almost impossible, and you get frustrated, Why why am I doing it? Why am I beating my head against the wall. While you know, we all get there, whether it's about music or life, or the country or a job or family, whatever it might be, we all get to a frustration level where it's like, why am I even doing this anymore? You know why? Why?

And believe me, I am sixty one and I have not had the career that I that I want yet, and I haven't had the fair I'll be honest, I haven't had the fame that I want yet. Because with fame comes the ability to get your voice out there, to get your message out there. That's why I want fame, to be able to get my message out and so whether it's music or movies or the show or whatever, I want to be able to get it to more people.

And it's frustrating. I get frustrated, just like you go to the grocery store and you look at prices and you think, this doesn't have to be this way. These companies do not have to charge us this amount of money. You go to the gas pump and say, this doesn't have to be this way. I don't even have to get gas. I should be getting hydrogen, or I should be on solar or whatever. And you get frustrated. And that's maga. That's what they were born of. They were

born of frustration. They were seeing their country become diverse and becoming multicultural and multicolored and multi sexuality, and they were frustrated because they didn't want it to They wanted it to go back to the way it was, to white supremacy and cisgendered male supremacy. That's their frustration lies in that we're changing and they can't seem to stop the change, and they want to because they don't want equality.

They don't. They're frustrated because we want things that they don't, and so they're fighting tooth and nail to keep their bigoted, racist, stupid ideas. And they're doing it out of frustration with us, with the enlightened people, with the people that want to move forward, with the people who want equality and who want equity and parity amongst people. They're frustrated that we

want to accept people. They're frustrated that we want to love more than we want to hate, and their frustration has turned into anger and hatred and bitterness, and it can do that. Frustration can make you a very bitter person, or it can be fuel in the gas tank. You can eat up that frustration and use that energy to actually get moving in and one box at a time, one step at a time, one moment at a time.

You can use that frustration to say, you know what, Yeah, I've failed a lot in my lifetime and there's a lot of things that I've done that I thought should be bigger. But I'm not going to stop just because they aren't. I'm going to find new ways. I'm going to find ways to vent this frustration through success, through effort. And I think that's the difference between liberals and MAGA. I think as liberals, when we get frustrated, we want to take action, we want to change the situation that

frustrates us. And if the situation, you know, and MAGA, when they get frustrated, they just hate. That's all they do. They just hate. I'm not going to let frustration over this single make me hate making music. You know, I'm frustrated, I want it out. I want it to a bigger audience, but I'm not going to let that stop me from doing other projects in the future. So if you find yourself frustrated, turn it into fuel, Turn it into energy, to do something thing about the source of your frustration.

Do something, as Michelle Obama said, because that's that's what frustration should be used for, for fuel, for energy. It shouldn't be used to turn you angry and mad and violent, you know, it should be used. I mean a lot of the shootings come from frustration. These people, they're they're mentally ill, but they're frustrated about something. They don't feel they're being heard, they don't feel they're being seen, and that's their way. We're going to talk about that when

we come back. Don't go anywhere on this Thursday morning at nine fifteen except to my live chat at YouTube dot com forwards clash. Really, Carrell, I'm gonna go read it right now.

Thanks from thirty years of support to the loudest, craziest, most unhinged gay guy and his little dog. And let's keep the party going as long as we can. Hello, my friends. Hello, all right, you know I got thinking this morning. It's

come out like me I'm coming. It's come out that the FBI had warned the police in Georgia about this now fourteen year old kid who I can't imagine at fourteen thinking a gun is the answer to your problems. At fourteen years old, I was too busy trying to be gay and listening to disco and roller skating everywhere. Guns with the least of my new roller skates were what I wanted my dog freckles. But anyway, he was

on a list. You know, this kid, and this is not the first time that we have heard that one of the mass shooters in one of these incidents, since there's so many, has been on the list. And the first question everyone asks is if you knew about him, how come you couldn't stop him? And it's easy for us to say that, you mean, you knew this kid was a danger. But if you examine that, what exactly are they supposed to do when someone's been reported as

a danger like that? Are they supposed to put an ankle bracelet on them and just monitor them twenty four to seven? That's pretty or willian for you know, are we supposed to go all whatever that Tom Cruise movie was, because he's crazy and I don't keep track of his movies. But where they actually go in and stop people, they're able to see that they're going to commit future crimes, and so they go stop them before they commit the crime.

Minority report. That's it, you know, are we going to go all minority report and stop, you know, start prosecuting people before they commit a crime because they have the capability the mindset of committing a crime. And I started thinking in a broader sense, what can we do? For instance, I say, ban guns, band assault rifles, ban guns, make ammunition expensive, make everything licensed. And while in countries that do that, they don't have the gun violence that we have,

like Great Britain. What do they have in Great Britain? A fifteen year old kid that walks into a dance studio with a machete and kills six kids. You can't outlaw knives. And so I started thinking about the broader picture of how can we stop these tragedies? And the answer becomes we can't. We can't. Now, we can make them harder to occur, meaning we don't have to give them the weapons readily, you know, to use. But ultimately, can we stop violence? Can we stop people from hurting

one another? No? And how do I know? Because we've done it since the dawn of time? And I think it's a flaw in humans. Something goes wacky in the brain. I think the only way to stop the tragedies would be to identify humans that have whatever gene it is that makes them want to go and do this and literally just actually lock those people up before they happen, based on their genetics or their brain scans or whatever. Short of that, until you know, happy people don't commit

these crimes. Okay, people who aren't frustrated don't commit these crimes. Now, granted, most of them are mentally ill. And you know, there's no way this kid was mentally ill. He's fourteen, and he things picking up a gun and going to school and shooting is okay, that's mentally ill. But we've always had this section of quote mentally ill people in our society who think violence. Sometimes they're presidents, you know, people like Vladimir Putin that think that violence is a means

to an end. That's mentally ill. Vladimir Putin is mentally ill. He thinks that violence is a means to an end. It's not. And so I started thinking, how do we stop it? And unfortunately we can't because we're humans, and humans are one of the few species, I think, the only species that will kill and murder for no reason. At all, not for food, not for territory, not for water.

We'll just kill to kill. And I don't want us to reach a point where we accept that, in other words, where we're not horrified by the terror that these people inflict. I never want us to just accept it like we are accepting it and just become blase about it. I want us to do all we can to stop it. But I don't think we ever really addressed the broader picture of how we can stop it. You know, there is the experiment with rats where they put two rats in a cage just with food and two water bottles.

One water bottle regular water, the other water bottle had drugs in it. If you put the two rats in the cage by themselves, no toys, no nothing, just two rats by themselves in a sparse cave, ultimately one of them ods on the water that has the drugs in it.

If you take two rats and put them in a rat topia with other rats and things to do, and you know, little caves and things for rats to explore, and you give them access to drugged water and versus regular and you know food, only about one quarter of the rats drink through drugged water and nobody ods. None of the rats o d. And the message there is that happy rats don't medic Also, in that experience experiment, they found that there weren't the rats, weren't attacking each other.

They lived harmoniously. When they all had their own space, they all had their own little rat partners, they were able to live in peace. And I don't think we ever address the state of the human condition enough. People who can't afford to live month to month are frustrated. People who don't have the money to buy healthcare, to pay for drugs, to buy food, to buy fuel, they're frustrated. They're not happy rats. In fact, as a society, I don't the only happy rats. You know, you never hear

of billionaires going on shooting sprees. You never hear of millionaires. Almost never hear of millionaires. There was that mertag guy and a few others, but you never really hear of millionaires going on wild shooting sprees. Whatever. They're happier rats than we are because they have the key ingredient to happiness in modern days on all society resources, wealth, housing, food.

If we went back to basics and address the very basic needs of every human housing, food, healthcare and made those much easier to provide, made happier rats, we would see violence go way way down. But because we are so unhappy, that pushes these sick people over the edge. And again there's always going to be humans that want to attack other humans always, but the quantity that we have, the number of humans that we have that want to kill each other, I think it's so high because we

are such an unhappy people, and not just Americans. There are very few societies that are happy. Switzerland, Finland, places like that, sure, but there are very few societies where most of their residents are happy, and in the societies where they are, there's very little violence. Violence and happiness go hand in hand, and we don't ever really make that connection until here on my show. But the truth is, happier people tend to be less violent, So a happier

society would tend to be less violent. And this violence that is America that we just accept as normal now it comes to be because we're so unhappy. And I think the only cure, or at least treatment, is to try to make more people feel less frustrated, more empowered, more in control of their own lives. That comes with allocations and access to resources. I truly believe it, all right.

I was really thrilled to find out that Tucker Carlson's been named by the Department of Justice in this indictment against Tenant media, which is wholly funded by the Russians. And now we find out that right wing influencers and people like Tucker Carlson and Fox News people were paid directly by the Russians to influence our election and spread disinformation. And while we can't really do much to Russia, we

should nail these motherfuckers to the wall. Any influencer who took money from Russia should have their accounts immediately canceled on all social media period. End of story. Tucker Carlson, his happy Ash should be thrown in jail. Ash should others, because it is treason to take money from our enemy Russia and use it to usurp a United States election. That's treason, in my book, betraying your country, it's betraying your people, it's betraying your profession media. As far as

I'm concerned, throw them in jail. We won't. Tucker will get out of it. Bill O'Reilly will get out of it. But we need to throw their asses in jail. It's a big scandal, go read about it. The Department of Justice has indicted Tenant Media to net Media, which is

a company that has paid these like Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk has probably taken Russian money the broadcaster, you know, because they have paid through this media company right wing influencers and they're going to scream, well, we didn't know the money was from Russia. We didn't know that Tenant Media was Russia owned. So you take money from a media company and you don't research who owns it. That's convenient. By the way, I need more comments down below the videos.

Just because you're in the chat rooms now doesn't mean that you can't, you know, down below give your comments. I want to see them, I want to hear them, I want to read them, I want to answer them. So comment down below the video about anything we're talking about, and you know, great, All right, before we go, I like to talk about my recent binges. I just watched over the last three days while doing work around the house the show Chaos on Netflix, and a lot of

people were lukewarm on the show. I have to tell you I loved it. I loved it because it shows the absurdity of believing in gods because they're real. In this Jeff Goldblum is Zeus, which if there is a Zeus, I want him to be Jeff Goldblum. And there's all the gods Perseus, and there's Dionysus and just all of them, Hara. And it's a great eight episodes and it deals with

a lot of issues going on in today's world. For instance, I'm not going to spoil the show, but one of the themes is people are so how do I say this, They're so convinced that there's another life that when they die the gods renew them and give them another life, that they're not taking the best advantage of this life. And do we in the show, do we find out that there is another life or not? Yes, we do,

and it's exactly what I believe. But the whole point of that storyline is to remind people to live the life you've got to the fullest now and be the best you can in this life now, and then if there is another life, you're already taken care of because you lived a great, full life. And we're a kind, gentle, loving person and so you pass on to a better life. If there is no other life, then guess what you

lived the best life you could at the time. And that's such an empowering message for any TV show that no matter your belief in God, no matter whether you believe in Zeus or Yahweh or Muhammad or whatever, who Buddha, whatever God you believe in, don't let that God tell you that there's a better life after this one. Make sure that you make this one the best life possible. That's a great message, isn't it. So watch chaos. I like it. I am Corell, be you who you want

to be, so i'n't hurt anybody. I will see you tomorrow. I don't know what time, maybe nine am against that could work, So we'll try to get it ready for nine am tomorrow morning, and let's go back to ten o'clock. Thank you for joining me, Thanks all of you for your comments below. Life subscribe to Express now. We're not going back video around. Please. We'll have the audio of it today or tomorrow on Spotify, and this broadcasting from

a completely different point of view yours. Listen daily to the Corell cast on your favorite streaming service.
