Yesterday was a really powerful day in the Michigan Senate. They had some speakers that came in that had firsthand accounts of what the latest school shooting at Michigan State University has done for their lives. And last hour, you played some audio. Who is in this audio again?

So this is the dad and the sister of Hannah St. Juliana, who was killed. She lost her life tragically in the Oxford High School shooting.

Speaking about the school shooting there.

It feels as though I haven't been able to take a breath, but how could I? I haven't heard Hannah's laugh or gone into her room without it being empty and dark in over a year.

It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when this is going to happen again. and it's going to touch you. Don't wait.

They also had some parents of some of the kids that were involved in the Michigan State shooting. They had some family members that were there talking about the loss of these three innocent lives and then all those that have been affected by still the shooting. We can't forget those that are still even in the hospital recovering. So they were doing this yesterday in the state Senate. And while they were doing this in the state Senate and they're trying to, you know, come up with some game plans. Tomorrow, I'm very intrigued when I go to Michigan State to the basketball game to see what it's like to be at a game after this. Like, I know that Michigan State has played basketball, and they remember played that game in, God, what am I brain farting on, what's the name of the stadium, Chrysler Center in Ann Arbor, and how powerful that was. I mean, we all saw that, either watched the game or saw the picture of Tom Izzo crying, you know, at half court and stuff. It's going to be wild just to see how the students are in the student section in the is zone. But Mike was talking about something before the show even started that just kind of makes you realize. Like these kids that are going to school nowadays, they're doing stuff in school and having to have to do stuff at school that we never had to do. Did anybody on the show, maybe KP, did anybody on the show have school shooting drills?

I did.

You did have school shooting drills? It was after Columbine. After Columbine.

He started doing them, yeah.

But it wasn't a ton of them, was it, like it is nowadays?

No, it was a lot of them. Was it? Yeah. Were they Alice drills? Mm-hmm. Is that what they called them then? Yeah.

We called them Code Grays, but that might have just been the kid term for Alice drills. No, I think we had just mostly tornado drills. Really? We didn't have any school shooting drills.

You're kidding me. No. Because it's wild, because I was talking to Jacob, my son, who is actually-

actually 25 so you're what 23 yeah and he was talking about some of the school shooting drills that they would uh that they would have to do i guess i wonder when it became mandatory i wonder

if it was probably we you know our drills were we really didn't specify what kind of drill it was we had a lot of drills where we would leave the school and go to a different building so i feel like they might have grouped that all into the same type of drill they didn't specify so now

No, it's Luke. Luke said it's I mean, it's so often that they have it. And I was talking to Luke because he's going to be going to college next year at Michigan State. And I was asking him questions about, you know, what have his friends been talking about or how things are different since going back to class? And Luke said it said it's been something that's always been on his mind, but it's even more on his mind now. And I think a lot was he had so many friends that were, you know, from Oxford. so they had to go through that shooting and um now he has so many friends that are actually on campus at Michigan State and he's like he's like dad it's it's so common right now it's like so

scary that's so sad it really is kids can't put themselves into that situation I remember texting my daughter who is at Grand Valley but all her friends at Michigan State were chatting with her that night as things were unfolding and my other daughter's also in college she's 18 about to have birthday and they they um it's just hard because you're there's not much i feel like we can do to comfort them we can distract them we can show them good news happy news we can try and relieve their anxiety but it's hard when you don't have an answer for them and when they're talking to their own friends that are hiding in their dorm closet and stuff like that and honestly even uh

even aside from the the shootings everything in the world is bad right yeah i mean we keep talking

about the amount of bad news and events that they digest on a daily basis and of course we all talk about the screen time and the amount you know the whole world at their fingertips at this age it's so much it's such a heavy weight aside and the peer pressure and all the anxieties that come from social media but it's just we didn't know at our age we didn't know about every bad thing that happened every day you know we heard there were certain ones i remember watching the space shuttle explode in school because we're all watching it because the teacher was on board i remember like attempts on president's lives and stuff like that but otherwise you didn't see daily news kids didn't watch news they didn't have you didn't have the social media

posting news and i don't remember the news covering murders like they do now like i know that if you look at murder statistics that there are stats that will show you that murder rates have gone gone up in certain places but i don't remember murders being such a huge thing on television and uh like you know in the news like it's always i'm sorry megan let me finish this if it bleeds it leads has always been the talk of the thing and honestly it to me it didn't feel

like it was that when i was younger but what were you saying how much of that is now we're on a very vicious 24-hour news cycle well that's the thing that and we're inundated with it everywhere so there's not only tv there's social media there's media there's print there's people people go live on tiktok when there's a shootout and you're watching live events so many different venues

you know what's amazing when's the last time that you went on social media and saw somebody go live and they were just giggling and doing stuff that was happy like i always feel like i'm either being sold something or it's something negative like they're in a confrontational situation you know you never see somebody just live on a ferris wheel you know that's why i love when megan and

jillian just go live and they're just giddy oh i love that i love watching because it's just a whole lot of nothing it's great it's like fun because it's just mindless and not it's positive

honestly i go live for like two hours pretty much every saturday on tiktok and just hang out with people and it's a great time it's just nice well it's not enough of it that was that was seriously

why I wanted to go to that concert I really didn't want to go to that 90s concert because it was during a week and I knew I was gonna be tired today but it when I was sitting there listening to these songs from artists who can't sing them anymore I was going oh my god I remember where I was and when I was and stuff like that and even like last night Vanilla Ice was talking about how you didn't have social media you had myspace that was it right and napster and all that what's up

and i put our our phones down last night and just played board games for a few hours awesome that

that's like the best what's going on jennifer hello hi this is jennifer in waterford i talked to you guys before with my son harrison and i even met you at the um halloween uh trunk and treat I don't know if you remember, but Harrison's in kindergarten here in Waterford, and they have these drills for what he calls the bad guy.

very sad because you know i grew up in the 70s we only had tornado drills fire drills um and they don't tell us so the first time it happened he got in the car and he's like mommy there was a bad guy at school today and i'm like what are you talking about and he's like yeah there was a bad guy and we had to hide under the um desk and i said are you sure i'm sure it was probably just a drill not even knowing they did drills like this come to find out you know it was a drill And they keep doing them and not letting us know, which is, I think, terrible because your kid gets in the car and they want to talk about it and you're caught off guard.

Yeah, they should definitely give you forewarning at your school. I'm shocked that they don't. That's wild. Mike, although, Mike, what did you find out yesterday about Cecily's school?

So they do this, and I don't know if they do this everywhere, but they have a, it's called a therapy dog. And his name's Mystic, or her name's Mystic. and it is a dog that is in the building at all times and teachers had to sign if they didn't want their kids around the dog or whatever but it's basically if the kid is anxious or if something like this was to happen it is supposed to be there as a way to calm them down and i part of me is like that's really cool and forward thinking and like very cool that we're trying to to do something in situations like this but the other part of me is like why do we have to get to the point where We're putting an animal in there, and how is that helping mental health, really? I mean, it's a great idea. It's a great start, but, like, part of me is like, why are we to this point? How am I supposed to explain that to my daughter? There's an animal in the building to try to make you feel okay because I can't be there to go and make you feel okay right now. But, see, I don't know if you need to say that to her.

No, I think that is a very good comforting thing for them.

Yeah, I can tell you Dakota, the yellow lab, was introduced to my girls' school the year they were leaving, And they they they said it was so they has been so help. In fact, I think Dakota went to Michigan State last week to help students. They took her the therapy dog up there, but they said it really helps to lessen social anxiety, helps the kids. Really? It just calms kids and brings them out of their own mind. Sometimes if, you know, there's a student just having a crying fit, going through anxiety or depression, they say sometimes the dog can help to pull them out of that. But also helps bonds with students, helps reduce fights and incidents in the hallway. It just creates a sense of common calmness and joy over seeing the animals.

Do they talk in your school, because Jennifer's still on with us here, Mike, do they tell you about the drills and things that they do with Cecily?

So she, no, actually, now that I think about it, they may have mentioned it in the beginning of the year, and she talks about it like it's no thing. she talks about it like it's crazy yeah yeah like just something we did

Harrison's excited because he gets to hide under the desk yeah and that's not like he's like i like bad guy days i get to hide under the desk and i'm like no you don't like bad guy days yeah well that doesn't seem to let us know because all other districts after the fact will send an email or send something that says hey just let you know today we had a drill your child may talk about it yeah yeah we would get those emails i wonder if that i'm not a psychologist but i

wonder if on a kindergarten level if they're saying it's maybe not you don't want to scare kids you want to just get them to learn the drill and then later they can realize the severity right

did you guys have uh nuclear uh nuclear drills in school because oh yeah we did because we did near a nuclear power plant we did because of that movie the morning after do you remember that movie

Oh, yeah, everybody thought the Russian was going to bomb us.

There was always a talk about that, and we had nuclear drills. What would you do for that? Basically, kiss your ass goodbye. No, you would go in. There was almost kind of like a tornado drill. You would go into the rooms that were more of the solid rooms. I don't think it was going to protect you. We would go into the science room. I remember that, the science lab room, and that was like the place. But really, I don't know if they even knew if it was going to be something, And if there was a nuclear war, the forewarning, I believe, that they felt like you would have is you would have enough time to be able to get to a safe area, like the basement or whatever.

I thought you just had to get inside and stay inside. Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

It was kind of like that, yeah. Kind of like tornadoes were.

Away from windows, you know.

Don't go outside, and if you were outside, like, wash yourself immediately.

Yeah. I'll be honest with you, like, with all the craziness that's going on in this world, and something obviously we're talking about, and we're going to get off of this now because I hope that our show is a release of not doing what you see on TV and the news and then social media. But it just feels like there's just so much out there, and honestly, that's why when we do a segment like Tell Me.

something good or we get to volunteer with our time team of you know that when we get out and about or our breaking entering christmas wish when we do that and we get to meet people and we start realizing that people are actually genuinely good people oh yeah majority of people in this world are good people and we need to be community we need to have community and just be there for each other and it's weird that we're only there for each other when there's a time of need or it's christmas right and we got to try to do it a little bit more often the official language of
