A 12-Year-Old Baby Shower?! What Happened to Our Culture?

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:31]What's going on everybody? Welcome to the David Seatin Show live. It is Sunday. It is Mother's Day. It is May the 10th and I want to say happy Mother's Day to all of the women who follow the David Seeden Show who are checked in tonight. Our first comment is from Chocolate 82467.

[00:00:53]She just checked in two minutes before the show started. So, chocolate, go ahead and throw in the comments section.

[00:01:01]Are you a mother?

[00:01:03]Answer that for me. Are you a mother?

[00:01:05]And if you are, how many children do you have? So, let me just say in advance, if you are a mother, happy Mother's Day again, it's always a pleasure to have everyone join in. This has been a kind of a regular thing that I do at the st at my household at the Sedan household.

[00:01:22]I've got my wife. I've got uh my mother who is 81 years old who lives with us.

[00:01:28]Uh I actually just had my daughter's uh cousin. She came by. So, shout out to Stavana. Happy Mother's Day to her. She was here with her two sons. And I've been barbecuing. I woke up. I ran to Tony's. I grabbed some food. came back, barbecued some some drumsticks, uh some chicken legs, and some boneless chicken thighs and a little bit of extra stuff.

[00:01:53]There goes the camera. I don't know why the camera is not cooperating. It just did one of those random things real quick. So, I'm trying to get that back in focus for everybody. I apologize for that. Let me see if I can get that get that focused. I hate when that happens.

[00:02:12]just some random stuff that messes up the picture. So, let me see if I can go ahead and correct that really quickly. Uh, you're going to hear me, but the picture is going to go off for a second. Wait, did it straighten out? Yeah. Let me You're going to hear the audio. Let me go ahead and reset the actual audio or I'm sorry, the video.

[00:02:34]I want to make sure that that is in focus because the camera just kind of jumped out of nowhere.

[00:02:42]Let me go ahead and see. Oh, I see it on my end, All right.

[00:04:14]There we go. There we go. Okay. All right. Apologize for that. Technical difficulties that happens on live streams. So, you can see that we're back up. I apologize for that. Uh that's that was something that happened in real time. So, I guess I'm glad that it happened because that lets me know how I can deal with it in the future. And like I said, as you know, this is uh this is a oneman production. So, this is me uh doing this on my own. So, I got to figure this stuff out in real time. So, I'm trying to get the camera back. There we go. There we go. All right. See, it jumped again. Uh that's what happens in real time. But again, I want to say happy Mother's Day to everyone who is coming into the feed right now as I am trying to make sure that I don't have that camera issue going forward. Let me go ahead and turn off that autoframing and I think that will correct everything and that we are good. All right, now it looks like we're good. All right, I appreciate your patience on that. Shout out to Chocolate. She said that she is a mother of three, I'm sorry, two grown children. Uh Melanie Payne, she just checked in. Correctional officer Michael Brisco. And then Wanda Mosner checking in from North Carolina. Thank you for checking in. Again, I apologize for those technical difficulties, but I appreciate you hanging in there with me.

[00:05:38]That's what happens when you have a live show and you have to figure out things on the fly. But again, I'm gonna keep this show kind of short and sweet tonight because uh like I said, I grilled some I was just saying earlier, I did my thing where I was cooking for I did all the cooking today for my mother, for my wife, uh my daughter's uh older cousin. She came by with her two kids.

[00:06:00]So, now I'm waiting for my daughter to come back into the house cuz she went out and she worked in one of our businesses so that my wife didn't have to go in tonight. My wife went and got her hair done. Uh, so it's just a lot of things going on in the house. So my 81 year old mother, you know, she had a good time. You know, she was able to uh, you know, you know, I just kind of just like I said, made a big dinner for the women in the family. uh grilled some chicken and some short ribs and made some beans and some uh spinach and had a cake and then you know we normally have the bar full at the seed and household so we uh we always check it you know kick it at the bar when it's all said and done. Shout out to Brian Boon checking in everyone. Melanie Payne said, "Oh, how nice." Thank you very much. Uh but you know what? one story leapt out at me and it's kind of serendipitous that it's Mother's Day that this story happened. So, I've got a poll question, but I've got to let everybody see this crazy story that came out. A lot of people have been talking about this online. Let me share this story in case you haven't seen it. I've heard of stories like this before, but this story has a bit of a twist.

[00:07:17]So, this is criticism. This story happened in Mississippi. A 13-year-old boy got a 12year-old girl pregnant down in Mississippi. So, these are two pre-teens had a child out of wedlock.

[00:07:34]That happens from time to time. 12 years old, I think, is 12 and 13 is way too young to be having a baby. I don't I mean we shouldn't I think we need to reccalibrate the the culture to stop having children out of wedlock period but 12 13 years old way too young. But what makes this story kind of stand out and everybody online has been paying attention to this story is because this mother apparently her name is Sheila Marble.

[00:08:08]She threw her 12year-old daughter a baby shower.

[00:08:17]Let me say that again. This 12year-old girl got pregnant by a 13-year-old boy.

[00:08:25]Obviously, it's an out of wedlock birth, but the mother threw her 12year-old daughter a baby shower.

[00:08:38]And I went back and I was looking and again I've been having these kinds of conversations going back 30 years. I remember a woman who I was whom I was dating when I graduated from high school and her 18-year-old her younger 18-year-old sister had a baby out of wedlock and they threw her a baby shower and I said to her, "That's the worst thing you can do. When you throw an out of wetlock teenage girl a baby shower, you're gonna have other females around that young lady who are going to think about getting pregnant and then they're going to go to her and say, "Well, how did you do it? What did you do?" They're going to go get advice. That's why back in the day, I'm 52 years old. Back in the day when I was coming up, if a girl got pregnant, they sent the girl down they sent the girl down south because they didn't want that to they didn't want there to be social contagion where other young girls see another girl get pregnant. It appears from the outside looking in that it's easy because she's got all this familial support blah blah blah. Now you have another young lady who goes out and replicates that behavior.

[00:09:51]So this girl, so going back to my my uh the woman whom I was dating back when I was 18, when I said that to her, she told me I was crazy.

[00:10:01]The baby shower is for the baby and you shouldn't punish the baby because the mother had a baby out of wedlock, blah blah blah. So she and I broke up and then a few years later she and I kind of ran into one another and she told me she said, "You know that one time that my sister got pregnant and you told me we shouldn't throw a baby shower and how they give advice to each other?" So yeah, I remember that conversation. She said, "Well, right after you and I broke up, my younger sister was sitting in the living room. I walked into the living room and as I was walking into the living room, I heard another girl who was still in high school asking my younger sister for advice because she was thinking of getting pregnant, but she saw her friend. Everybody threw a baby shower, she got a car seat, she got the stroller, you know, she got the the free social, you know, whatever the wick, what a milk, blah blah blah blah blah.

[00:11:02]So she came to her older sister came to me years later and said, "You know what?

[00:11:06]You were right.

[00:11:09]Baby showers used to be a thing that we did for young married couples who were starting off in life. They had meager resources. So the community would get together and they would give them you know things pampers and and uh you know bottles or you know clothing blah blah blah because hey we want to help out this young married couple who had a baby because they did it the right way. What signal is it sending in our culture that a mother is having a baby shower for a 12year-old girl?

[00:11:53]Not even not even a teenager. 12 years old. That that's just unfathomable to me. And there'll inevitably there's going to be someone who's going to go down in the comments and say, you know, say something stupid like, oh, we celebrate life. Or I've heard people say, you know, in the past when we have these types of conversations, they'll say, uh, Jesus's mother Mary, she was 12 years old when she got pregnant with him. Well, yeah, that was 2,000 years ago when the life expectancy of human beings was maybe 30 or 40 years old.

[00:12:25]What has happened to our culture that what hap what happened in these kids' lives number one that at 12 and 13 they didn't have anything better to do than to go have sex number one. I can remember being 12 years old. Sex was the last thing that I was trying to do when I was 12 years old. As a matter of fact, my freshman year in in high school, and there are friends of mine who will tell you this to this day, when I was 13 years old, I was I was the only male, you know, in high school that was saying proudly that I was a virgin and I was going to remain a virgin until I got married because that's the way I grew up in the church. And so that's that was my worldview at the time. Now, I was unsuccessful. Let me say that. Let me admit that. I didn't I wasn't able to maintain my virginity until I got married. Uh, as a matter of fact, me saying that caused some women to or some girls to target me because I was so unabashed about proclaiming with no embarrassment. I remember male friends, you know, or acquaintances at the time telling me, "Hey, man, don't tell people you're a virgin." And I was saying, "I don't mind telling people I'm a virgin because I am." Now, most of the boys, you know, in my circle who were trying to discourage me from saying that were virgins, too. And they were lying because blah blah blah blah blah.

[00:13:50]But I was of the mind that, hey, I'm a virgin. I'm going to try and stay a virgin until I get married. So, again, didn't even occur to me at 12 or 13 years old to even have sex. But to be a parent and then for this young 12year-old girl's mother to throw her a baby shower is just the worst. And then she posted the pictures on social media. And if you look at this story, you know, there were like over 7 million people who commented on this on social media and was telling, you know, trying to embarrass this mother. That's shameful. There's there is no shame left in the black community.

[00:14:38]Just the worst behavior, the wor the worse the thing is, the more proud of it. Some of us, you know, this this particular echelon of people about whom we are conversing tend to be. No reason in the world why at 12 at 12 years old you should be riding bikes and riding scooters and playing video games and going bowling and being in the Boy Scouts or the Girl Scouts. There's so many other things that one could be doing, one should be doing at 12 or 13 years old. And now guess what? This young girl is 12 years old. She's going to be a mother. And be when this girl, think about this, when this girl turns 20 years old, she's still in eight, she's she's uh 12. So in 8 years, she still won't be legal to, you know, uh get to buy alcohol. She won't be legal to do, you know, enter into a lot of things. But when she's when she's 20 years old, in eight years, she's going to have a eightyear-old son or daughter.

[00:15:47]When think back when you were 20 years old, most of us when we were 20 years old weren't ready to be parents.

[00:15:57]Certainly, we weren't mature enough to have a 8-year-old kid when you're 20 years old. This girl is not even This girl is in like the sixth grade. She's going to have a kid. She's going to have a child walking and calling her mom before she's a freshman in high school.

[00:16:16]And rather than her mother being embarrassed, whether rather than her mother saying, "I dropped the ball somewhere." Her mother throws this 12year-old girl a baby shower. Let me go to the comments. I see a bunch of them populating. Uh let's see. We got correctional officer in the house, man.

[00:16:36]Always a pleasure, brother. Uh let's see. We've got Sharita McKithan 1358.

[00:16:42]That's a new name. Welcome to the show, Sharita. I appreciate you checking in.

[00:16:46]Carol Beck 3645. She's still a little girl. Yes, she's still a 12 years old having a baby. Chocolate is saying what?

[00:17:00]Yeah. Uh correct. Uh Brian Boom posted, "David, remember you mentioned redneck culture that white people shake after one generation where black people pass it on." Yeah. Yeah. most other cultures.

[00:17:15]And and let me make this let me qualify this by saying one thing. Every ethnicity has a subculture.

[00:17:22]The subculture is that bottom 10 15%. So when you look at white people, you know, you call them rednecks. When you look at black people, you call them nwords. Uh, you know, I've got Latino friends that they're embarrassed when they when they talk about Latinos who come across the border wearing the big hats and the big uh belt buckles and the cowboy boots and the small teeth or, you know, even with Asians. Everybody, every ethnicity has a subculture, but most cultures are embarrassed by the subculture in their ethnicity. We are the only ones. I have a I have a video up right now that's there that was about this really really really ghetto black woman. Uh and she, you know, she checked all the boxes. The video was about her getting fired at her job and she's being very combative and confrontational with her employer, with police. And you would not imagine how many black people go into the comments of that video. That video has almost over 100,000 views. Uh, and if you so if you go in my, like I said, if you're a member of the channel, if you subscribe, you'll see that video. And this uh, and a matter of fact, I might just go ahead and put the the actual link to the video just because I think it's interesting.

[00:18:40]Did so many black people attack me in the comments saying, "How dare I, as a black person, hold another black person accountable?"

[00:18:50]And that's why that 12-year-old girl is pregnant down in Mississippi because no adult in that young girl's life sat her down and said, "You're 12 years old. You're too young to be having sex.

[00:19:06]You're certainly too young to be having a child. You're not old enough to be a mother." What happened to just basic common sense and holding each other accountable? Let me go back to the to the comments section. Uh let's see.

[00:19:21]Michael Brisco posted, "Can a 12-year-old even have a natural birth? I have two daughters. They didn't start their monthly until 14 15 years old."

[00:19:29]Yeah, I know. Uh an interesting comment, Michael. I I have women in my family who started their menstrual cycle when they were less than 10 years old. So, you know, it just depends on your particular genetics. But yes, it's absolutely possible that you could uh that you could have a child that early. Chocolate posted, "It's so sad that these kids are looking at having babies as a way to get attention and not as the serious responsibility it is." You know what, and I've said this before, this is how you get rid of out of wedlock births to young girls like this.

[00:20:04]You got to be 26 year years old before you have before you're able to get welfare.

[00:20:10]You you implement that law, a lot of out of wedlock teenage births will go away overnight.

[00:20:19]You have to be 26 years old before you can enter the welfare system. That I would look don't put me in charge because that would be an executive order. If David Satan is ever governor, mayor, president, I would write that executive order immediately.

[00:20:38]Brian posted Thomas Soul should be a must-read in American high school. Yeah, but nobody's going to read Thomas Soul because Thomas Soul talks about self-accountability.

[00:20:50]Thomas Soul talks about racism is not an excuse. People used to attack me on the radio all the time when I would say, "Yeah, racism exists, but it's not an excuse."

[00:21:02]Let me say that one more time.

[00:21:05]No white person or no system can hold you back from doing anything. It might slow you down maybe, but if you have your stuff together, if you got money in the bank, you got a solid job, you're you're a you you have you're you're a stable person, nobody's going to stop you from becoming a homeowner. Don't let people talk about this red lining.

[00:21:29]There's no anybody who has the money, you can move anywhere. If you have the money or you have the credit together, you can walk into any bank and you can get a business loan to start a business.

[00:21:39]So again, so let me stipulate that because like I said, racism does exist still, but you're making your life a hund times harder by becoming a parent at 12 and 13 years old. And this mother, the mother of this 12-year-old should be ashamed of herself, but instead she gave her a baby shower like she's an adult woman who's married.

[00:22:08]I can remember being in high school, I'll say this and then we'll move on to the comments and I want to share another video on this. I can remember when I was in high school. Matter of fact, before I was in high school, the church that I grew up in, if a girl got pregnant, she was ostracized and she was ostracized because we didn't want to celebrate out of wedlock teenage births. That's a bad thing.

[00:22:34]Maybe like that was like maybe I was 10, 11, 12 years old. By the time I got to high school, I remember I was a sophomore in high school and these ghetto chicks were throwing baby showers during passing period where they'd go decorate a girl's locker and and during passing period, that was their way of celebrating her getting pregnant. And I remember the second or the third time that happened that the principal got on the PA and announced to the entire school, no more baby showers at the locker because he was trying to not celebrate that type of behavior. I would that was at Proviso West in Hillside, Illinois. I graduated in 1991, so 35 years ago. Fast forward till today, Proviso West and Proviso East high schools have daycare in the school for the students. When I was coming up, if a girl got pregnant, they sent her to another school. There was a school specifically for behavioral problems and there was a separate school for girls who got pregnant because they we have this sense of community. We don't want to cause a social contagion of undesirable behavior. And like I said, this mother is giving a baby shower to a 12-year-old. It's just it's so sickening that nobody in our community is standing up and say and pointing out bad behavior and saying we don't condone this. This is this is that is that is sick. It's one thing for a 13 to 12 year old kid to go out there. They're experimenting.

[00:24:12]they don't have any supervision and they have sex and they get pregnant, have an unplanned pregnancy, that's one thing.

[00:24:20]But to give the 12-year-old a baby shower and and again, shame on the mother and shame on every everyone who went to that baby shower and bought a gift. That's the way we stop this stuff.

[00:24:33]If somebody called me and told me, "Hey, David, my 12year-old daughter is having a baby shower. Would are you coming?"

[00:24:41]Hell no, I'm not coming because I don't want my presence there to affirm that type of bad behavior. And we have to black people are at the bottom of every good list and we're at the top of every bad list. The least we can do is stand up as a community and say no, we don't want 12 year old girls pregnant in our communities.

[00:25:07]That's like I said that that's the bare minimum. Uh, let so let me get off that soap box because I I'll, you know, I'll go there and and like I said, I hate that type of behavior. Melanie Payne posted, "As much as I love the South, especially Mississippi, there is literally nothing to do. I'm never shocked at things like this in the deep south. No, I'm not saying it only happens in the deep south." Yeah, I completely understand. Melody Payne also posted, "Uh, they don't have any entertainment in the SIP now. I go there often for taxlean auctions." And when I say it's nothing to do, I really mean it's nothing to do. Melanie, when Melanie, put in the chat how old you are. And I hear what you're saying, but when I was coming up, this is precomputers, this is pre video games, this is pre all that stuff. We used to we used to play games that you didn't even need anything to do. Hideand go seek, red light, green light, ding-dong ditch.

[00:26:03]Uh the the the game, I can't remember it. the game where the first person to like, you know, if you touched the tree, then that was like the base and and and you couldn't get tagged out. Hell, we used to play flag football. We used to play games like piggy. I I hear what you're saying that there's nothing to do, but generation X, we made up games or you didn't need anything except your imagination. So, I hear you, but I reject that you don't you if at 12 years old, no one should have to give you something to do rather than or other than giving you the morals to understand that at 12 years old, you're not supposed to be having sex. That's that's just period end of story. I I I can't even I can't even wrap my mind around even imagining a scenario where I can try and make that permissible. Shout out to Tread 1775.

[00:27:01]He is a follower of the Davis Seatan show and he has uh the most comments. I believe he is over 300 comments on all of the over 1,600 videos that have been posted on the David Seat Show. So, if you've just been watching the lives, do yourself a favor, subscribe, turn on your notification bell, and just go binge watch. You know, I've got a bunch of playlists. I've got videos that, you know, that cover a variety of subject matter. A lot of it is about Chicago and about Brandon Johnson. I got a whole playlist. I think the playlist on him is over 55 videos going back three years.

[00:27:37]So, definitely do that. But, Tread 1775 gifted five David Seat Show memberships.

[00:27:44]I appreciate that, brother. Again, Tread, shout out to you. So, again, if you want to become a member of the David Seed Show, there are three levels, and Tread just gifted five of them. So, you can go back into the, you know, into go to the channel, sign up for one of the memberships, and you will get one of them for free because Tread just go went ahead and he donated five of them. So, Tread, I appreciate it. Uh, really, really appreciate it. Like I said, make sure you become a member of the David Seeden show. Grandma, go sadly get a check. Yeah, grandma is going to sadly get a check. Exactly. Some girls start early due to how the mother eats. Again, yeah, definitely has to do with genetics and environment. Common sense isn't that common from window 6468. You're absolutely right, brother. Uh correctional officer, how will child support be enforced upon the 13-year-old? It won't be enforced upon the 13-year-old. It's going to be enforced upon the parents of that 13-year-old.

[00:28:41]wrap your mind around that. The parents of that 13-year-old are going, I got to figure out why his camera keeps jumping like that. I'm have to work on that. Uh, Michael Brisco posted, "Grandma does realize that she'll be raising her own grandchild. I hope." Yeah. Here's the thing that we didn't find out in the story. We didn't find out how old the mother is. We I we can't say with any certainty. I couldn't tell from the picture, but she doesn't look that much older. She might be 24 to 30 years old.

[00:29:10]Maybe she had her daughter when she was a teenager. That's that's just as likely. But it still doesn't it still doesn't absolve us from the reality that we as a community have to send stand up and say enough is enough. No, no more 12 no more teenage out of burst. I was so naive that I thought women stopped doing that. I thought that got played out because I remember it used to happen.

[00:29:33]You know, I I grew up during a time where it morphed from it being socially unacceptable and taboo to it becoming ubiquitous.

[00:29:44]And so, I'm always surprised when I when I see that stuff happening today. Uh, let's see. Uh, Carol Beck, when I was 12, I was still playing with Barbies with my sister. Exactly.

[00:29:55]Exactly. So, that goes to uh the the post earlier where she was saying that there's nothing to do down there. Go buy your kids some Barbie dolls. Go buy your Go buy I mean at 12 years old you're I mean again think back. Somebody put in the chat for me what were you doing when you were 12 years old? What were the what were the activities that you were with which you were involved? Were you out there having sex? There's going to be those outliers where they'll say, you know, there'll be some people who are doing that, but they usually come from bad parents and bad families at 12 years old. That's just that's just the bottom line. So, here's a here's the poll question. Here is the poll question. Should we celebrate out of wedlock births for children? You can put a one in the chat for yes, two in the chat for no. Uh, like I said, I I I just can't I just can't imagine. But let me let me pay this other video because there are a bunch of people who are actually commenting about this. Uh most of them were on Tik Tok and some of the comments are really really unfortunate.

[00:31:01]Uh this first one, this woman kind of took the mother to task. Take a listen to this.

[00:31:06]>> Did y'all see that [ __ ] in Mississippi last month where they threw a baby shower for the 12-year-old baby mom and the 13year-old baby daddy? Like y'all done let two babies be thrown into lifelong adult consequences.

[00:31:24]I just need to know where the [ __ ] was y'all before this happened.

[00:31:31]I'm going to stop her right there because she uh you know, some of her some of her uh comments, you know, she she used a lot of vulgarity and I don't want to I don't want to poison the the stream with having a bunch of that information, but there was another one.

[00:31:47]There was another one that I want to find real quick. Uh again, there was this one girl There was this one girl, this one woman who was kind of condoning it. And you would be surprised how many women were actually condoning this behavior, saying, "Oh, it's not the girl's fault and she shouldn't have an abortion and blah blah blah blah blah."

[00:32:09]Let me play this other one. I was trying to find that one in particular that I saw earlier. But let me go ahead and play this one on from Tik Tok. Again, another reaction to this 12year-old girl and her mother throwing her a baby shower. I've been seeing a post that's been coming up on my feed line about some 12year-old girl that's pregnant and the mother gave her a baby shower and the father is 13 and everybody's giving her back backlash about giving her daughter a baby shower. The bottom line is the damage is already done.

[00:32:50]What you going to make her suffer? I mean, hello.

[00:32:56]She's already having the baby.

[00:33:00]It is what it is.

[00:33:04]What you going to do? What you going to do? It's already done.

[00:33:09]So, you move on and you live on.

[00:33:15]>> And that's one of them. That type of ignorance just boils my blood. Oh, she's already pregnant. So, so treat her like she's an adult. Treat her like she's a married woman. Celebrate the fact that a 12year-old girl is pregnant. She said, "Oh, you're going to make her suffer?"

[00:33:34]Yeah. Yeah. You make her suffer so that she knows the bad choice that she made and so that the friends around her know, "Yeah, I'm not going to do that. Yeah, I'm not going to do." That's why again when I was coming up when a girl got pregnant and she was a certain age they sent her down south because people then had a sense of responsibility that they didn't want their child's bad choices to adversely impact the rest of the girls in the community. But it went from that to being proud to have throwing a baby shower for a 12-year-old. And again, you're gonna have those ignorant, mostly women, who are going to say stuff like that. Oh, she's 12 years old. The damage is already done. No, way more damage can happen. Way more damage can happen. Again, vote in the in the poll question I've got. Should we celebrate out of wedlock births for children?

[00:34:35]Children. This girl is a pre-teen.

[00:34:40]One for yes, two for no. actually uh again I see a bunch of you voted actually ain't this uh Ryan Boom posted actually ain't this criminal. Okay, isn't this criminal? No, because they're both underage.

[00:34:56]No, that that's that's the that's the sad part of the situation. They're both underage. So, no, it's not criminal.

[00:35:02]Let's do this, though. Let's look at this. I I'm going to go ahead and do this in real time since you posted that.

[00:35:07]Let's go ahead and look at this together because I hadn't uh I hadn't thought of where'd it go. New tab. Uh let's go ahead and look at let's let's look this up together. What is the age of consent in MIS PPI in Mississippi? Age of consent. The age of consent in Mississippi is 16 years old. Individuals 15 or younger cannot legally consent to sexual activity and engaging in sexual acts with someone under this age can lead to statutory rape charges. Mississippi also has a close in age exemption Romeo and Juliet law where participants close in age may not be prosecuted provided the gap is less than 36 months. Okay, that's definitely some Mississippi stuff. 36 months is three years. So, so they're going to make an exemption.

[00:36:02]They're gonna say the age of consent is 16, but if you're 16, dating a 13 year old or you're within 36 months, so it's okay.

[00:36:12]Again, completely completely off the rails. 12 12 years old, uh, throwing a baby shower is is is worse is probably the worst thing I can think of. Let me find another.

[00:36:24]>> So, now we throwing baby.

[00:36:25]>> No, that's the same woman. I suggest y'all mind your business. Like I said in my video, I learned my lesson the one time I did it and the person that I was talking about was extending a lot of grace to me because we had a conversation off to the side. Everybody is not gracious.

[00:36:45]And this is a blatant lie.

[00:36:50]This is the person who's >> Okay, here we go with that.

[00:36:54]>> Okay. baby shower for a 12 and 13 year old. Let's talk about it. So, before y'all jump up in my comment section, I already know it ain't my none of my goddamn business that they business.

[00:37:05]However, it's on the [ __ ] internet, so it's everybody business. Okay.

[00:37:10]Now, mind you, at 12, I was playing with barber dolls, making mud pies, playing kickball.

[00:37:18]Y'all [ __ ] out here having goddamn whole damn babies.

[00:37:22]Great point. Again, I'm going to cut her off because she was using a lot of profanity and like I said, I don't want to offend anyone in the fe in the feed, but yeah, 12 years old.

[00:37:33]12 years old. And then, like I said, it's one thing to go out there and make a mistake. It's another thing uh for the mother to celebrate it and throw a baby shower. Melanie posted, "This is where social media is a curse. Folks post everything online." Exactly. Guess what?

[00:37:48]I'm online right now. I post this story online. If someone goes in my comment section and they say something or they criticize me, when people criticize me, I just say, "Hey, I appreciate you watching. I appreciate you making the comment." Because whether it's a comment that's in favor of what I did or against what I did, you're helping me because you're programming the algorithm to know that you're interacting with my video.

[00:38:09]So, you're free to just like I'm free to have my opinion. You're free to have yours. And guess what? Don't post things on social media. Once you post something on social media, it's out there. You can't tell people not to comment on something that you voluntarily provided the information. If that woman didn't didn't put post that on social media, the only people who would know about it are the people down in that city in Mississippi and the people who perhaps attended the baby shower. But if you put something on the internet, yeah, anybody can comment on it. Stop putting your business out there if you don't want people to comment on it. So, again, I want to keep this poll open a little bit longer because we've had several votes.

[00:38:47]I appreciate you. Chicago Rocks put hail too exclamation point.

[00:38:54]Michael Brisco posted uh he was uh snake hunting and BB gun wars. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:39:00]Yeah. Yeah. Chicago uh Rocks posted uh Brand Brandon Johnson gives you a lot of material. He really really does. He really really does. I I I I almost kind of have to pull back a little bit because I don't want my coverage of him to appear gratuitous. But yes, he is a he's a bottomless well of of of information. I'd love to know his opinion on something like that. Like I said, we're at the 7:39 uh mark. Again, it's Mother's Day. I don't want to hold you a a whole lot longer, but last sat what was it last Saturday or sat not not not yesterday but Saturday before last I was on 560 a.m. hosting for John Anthony on Black and Wright on WD 560 a.m.

[00:39:48]Again, just a really really first class operation. I can't say enough good things about that. And he gave me a shout out yesterday during his show. Uh, he said that the previous radio show where I worked, it was their loss and it's 560 a.m.'s gain. So, I'll just leave that because John Anthony said it.

[00:40:08]Hopefully, I'll have an update for you on that sometime with uh within the week, definitely this month. But I did talk about when I was on 560 a.m. this whole thing about the Walgreens store being closed in Cadam and all of the black people coming out and saying, "Oh, Walgreens is turning its back on black people and they shouldn't leave." And this and this and that. Now, this is in Chadam where they've lost Walmart, Target, CVS, uh you know, another grocery store. Now they're losing Walgreens. And except for people, nobody wants to hold the people in Chadam accountable for the behavior that led up to the closing of that store. They want to try and hold Walgreens accountable. But let me just play this little piece of sound really quickly because again, I'm just really, really tired of our people when these types of things happen. They never want to talk about the cause. They want to criticize the effect. Take a listen to this real quick. This is really, really sad. store on the city southside is closing its doors next month and people who rely on it for prescriptions say they will be in a pharmacy desert. Our Marissa Sulich heard from neighbors and Walgreens officials about their major concerns today.

[00:41:25]>> On June 4th, this Walgreens here at 87th in Cottage Grove will close its doors.

[00:41:30]Walgreens says it's closing because this store has lost over a million dollars in the last year and their team member safety is at risk. Signs outside this Cottage Grove Walgreens explicitly warn customers it is closing in less than a month. It's a big deal especially for people who depend on this specific store like Randy Evans.

[00:41:49]>> Now you going to tell me it's not racing.

[00:41:52]Okay. I mean you didn't close nothing in Andersonville >> and I'm so tired of black people like that.

[00:42:02]No, it's not racially motivated. They're losing a million dollars.

[00:42:08]People are going into the store, robbing the store, are costing the employees.

[00:42:13]Walgreens has got to lock everything up.

[00:42:15]They're spending extra money on security. Uh Alderman Will Hall was talking about this and he was comparing this store to the store that's on 12th and State Street that's in what's called uh uh Southshore uh South South Loop.

[00:42:30]It's a South Loop uh neighborhood of Chicago. You compare those two stores, South Loop, they've only got 15% of people on Medicaid, so they're not losing money there. They don't they're they only they're the crime rate in South Loop, Chicago is only, you know, it's like 15% of the Chicago average.

[00:42:51]The the average in the Chattam store is twice the crime rate is twice that of the average in Chicago. So, no, everything that happens to black people doesn't happen to them because they're black. Here's a thing here. Here here here's something interesting and I wanted I wanted to make a mental note to say this on this live.

[00:43:10]Instead of getting together and protesting the store closes the store closing, why don't you get together and protest and tell Mayor Brandon Johnson and and Superintendent Snelling of CPD, put police officers in our in this area and arrest these people so we don't lose another store.

[00:43:30]Instead of complaining about having grocery deserts and pharmacy deserts, you know what they never have in the hood? Liquor deserts.

[00:43:40]You know why? Because people can't go in there and rob the liquor store because all of the inventory is behind bulletproof glass. And they're going to go in there and they're going to pay their money and they're not going to mess up the liquor store because they don't want to lose a liquor store in their neighborhood. So, they're not going to do that. But meanwhile, they're going to complain about it being a pharmacy desert and you got to travel more than a little over a mile to the nearest Walgreens. Sucks to be you.

[00:44:03]Stand up and make sure the police and the mayor are enforcing the laws against the people who are breaking the law and causing Walgreens to close in the first place. Walgreens is not a 501c3.

[00:44:15]That is a for-profit corporation. Let me let you listen to the rest of this cuz I don't want to go off too, like I said, I I I really hate this victimhood BS that every time something happens in a black neighborhood, the first thing these the first thing that people will do is jump to the racism conclusion. But just listen to this a little bit more so you can hear exactly why this store is closing.

[00:44:40]>> Germany, I don't drive. Having to go across town to get my medicine will be an inconvenience.

[00:44:46]>> At a community town hall inside St. Mark's United Methodist Church Saturday morning, officials from Walgreens sat at the front while a few dozen people wanted to know why this location.

[00:44:56]Walgreens says theft there is at 16%, four times the company average.

[00:45:02]Prescription volume fell 30% the last 5 years and pharmacy reimbursement rates are 25% below Walgreens's average.

[00:45:11]Let me let you see that one more time.

[00:45:14]Theft 16%, four times the average of stores in Chicago. Prescription volume down 30% over the last 5 years. And pharmacy reimbursement rates are 25% below average. Guess what that 25% is?

[00:45:33]The exact number of Medicare has a reimbursement of 80%.

[00:45:40]Medicaid has a reimbursement of 65%.

[00:45:45]So 47% of the people who go to this store in Chadam are on Medicaid.

[00:45:52]The reimbursement is lower. Prescription volume is down. Theft is four times as much. What do you think Walgreens is going to do? They're not closing because they're racist. They're closing because they're losing money at that store and they should close. And more stores are going to close until the people in Chadam stand up and say no more.

[00:46:17]>> 5% below Walgreens's average.

[00:46:20]>> A lot of times those lock boxes are getting destroyed. And that's a great cost to the company.

[00:46:25]>> Walgreens says lock boxes and full-time security costs $400,000 a year at this location. Even that doesn't stop customers from jumping over counters to steal liquor, cigarettes, and make threats to team members.

[00:46:39]>> Listen to what she just said. They've got $400,000 invested in lock boxes, but people are jumping over the counter stealing alcohol, cigarettes, and attacking Walgreens employees.

[00:46:53]>> $400,000 a year at this location. Even that doesn't stop customers from jumping over counters to steal liquor, cigarettes, and make threats to team members.

[00:47:03]>> Just imagine being a cashier, your daughter, your son, um, being a cashier, uh, and witnessing those things.

[00:47:12]>> To prevent more locations from closing, Walgreens says they will pay for security features and swap out their guards for tactical security.

[00:47:20]>> These guards are more experienced to deal with death, violence. But even these reasons are not enough for some neighbors who now must trek over a mile to get prescriptions. Now customers that you >> and guess what? If you have to trek over a mile to get your prescriptions and you never call the police, you never call the mayor's office to tell them to crack down on crime. If you know you've got a knucklehead niece, nephew, son, daughter, cousin person in your family who's going to this Walgreens and they're robbing them and you don't say anything, then I don't care if you have to travel a mile. I don't care. No. And nobody nobody cares. Walgreens doesn't care. They're not going to keep that store open while the pe while the local people in the Chattam neighborhood are stealing liquor and cigarettes and beating up their employees. That's a liability to Walgreens.

[00:48:19]When are we going to figure out that we need to change our change the behavior of the antisocial subculture in our communities if we want to see better outcomes? Nobody owes you a grocery store or a pharmacy. And no, they're not leaving because they're racist. Think about this. for the for the dummies that keep saying that it's racism. They moved there in the first place knowing what this what the demographics are. Let's look at the demographics real quick. I don't want anybody to say, "Oh, David was lying or David is misle misleading people or whatever." Let's go right here and Google it. Let's look right here.

[00:49:02]What are the racial demographics of the Cadam neighborhood of Chicago?

[00:49:17]I misspelled neighborhood. You'll usually catch it, but let's just make sure.

[00:49:24]Look at this.

[00:49:26]Chadam is 92 to 97% black.

[00:49:34]Look at that. Chadam is 92 to 97% black and they want to say it's racism that Walgreens is leaving. No, you can't blame anybody else. You can't blame racism. You can't blame the white man.

[00:49:52]You can't blame immigrants. You can't blame migrants. You can't blame Trump.

[00:49:57]You can't blame the Republicans. You cannot blame anybody else when up to 97% of the people who live in Chadam are black. That means the people who are robbing Walgreens are black.

[00:50:13]I'm so tired of this victimhood always playing the race card, always blaming everybody except the And I'm trying really hard not to curse. I've had to catch myself a couple of times because I really want to curse. But again, out of respect for the people who are watching, I'm going to I'm going to control myself.

[00:50:34]It is if a neighbor if Chadam is up to 97% black, that means it's black people who are robbing these stores. That means it's black people who are the cause of Jewel and Walmart and Target and CVS and now Walgreens closing and leaving that neighborhood. And unless and until you're going to have the same level of accountability for the black residents of Chattam that you have for the for Walgreens leaving the community. if you're not going to have the same amount of accountability to the residents of Chattam.

[00:51:14]Guess what I I'm I'm saying as a black conservative, let me just say to all of the businesses, all of the big box businesses, all the national retailers who are in Chattam and neighborhoods like Chadam in Chicago and throughout the country. I was just in Philadelphia on a business trip last week. a colleague of mine and I, we walked to a Walgreens, the closest Walgreens that we found. It was closed at 6 PM in downtown Philadelphia and everything was locked up just like you just saw in this Chattam location. So guess what?

[00:51:50]Walgreens, Albertson's, Kroger's, CVS, any store out there under the sound of my voice, I I am saying to you as a black person, as a black member of the a person, a black person in the black community in Chicago, close every store in every neighborhood that is not profitable and stop meeting with these communities and these BS church uh uh meetings and sending black people in there to try and be the ambassadors for your brand to try and soften the blow. F them. If they're not going to tell their kids and their nieces and nephews and sons and daughters and cousins, if they're not going to tell the other people in their neighborhood, stop robbing these stores so that your grandmother has a place to go get her medicine. stop robbing these grocery stores so your grandmother has a place to go get her groceries. If they're not going to hold each other accountable and they're not going to reach out to the the local politicians and the local PD to say, "Hey, we need you to come in here and arrest these thieves so we stop losing the resources we need in our neighborhoods." If they don't want to do that, close them all. There's enough black people out here like me and enough black people out here like Brian Boone and and and a correctional officer and and and the people who are in this thread. We're in 100% agreement. Close them all. You don't owe them anything.

[00:53:23]Come open up a second one down the street from me so I have another option because the Walgreens and CVS's and the grocery stores out here don't get robbed. I'm tired of this making excuses for bad behavior and then I'm the bad guy as a black person. If I come out and say we need to hold other black people accountable, I'm a sellout and a [ __ ] and whatever else. If a non-black person tries to hold us accountable, they're racist. But you don't want to hold the people accountable whose behavior is the catalyst for us for them losing the stuff in their neighborhood because it's not me. I don't I got everything I need within a mile of where I live. But I don't I I don't live in Cadam and I would never live in Chattam. I would never live among those people because I know how they live. And that's just because we have the same skin color doesn't mean we're in the same group.

[00:54:11]We're in the same family. That's those aren't my people. My people are the people who believe like I do, live like I do, work hard every day, do play by the rules, and try to be successful. As far as people going around and robbing stores until they close, like I said, I don't know what to tell you. Sucks to be you. I don't care. I do not care. Let me read a couple of uh a couple of more comments before we get out of here. Like I said, I promise I didn't want to hold you too long. By Boone posted, David, I'm a baby boomer. Don't get mad when I say this, but Hall but Will Hall and Mayor Johnson are the example of young politicians who never experienced a prosperous community. never experienced a prosperous community and never actually ran a private business. That's the thing. Uh Brian, they never ran a business. Every job they had, Bri, uh uh uh Will Hall is a pastor of a church and he's a an alderman.

[00:55:04]He's never had to go out and actually buy a business and make it work and invest his time and his energy. Only thing he's had is has passed around a collection plate and raise people's taxes for him to get his paycheck. So, I don't I don't have any uh regard for what he has to say about what's going on with Walgreens. Chocolate posted, "Sadly, we want to blame everyone else when our own actions are the cause."

[00:55:30]Exactly. Exactly. Uh Lauren, is this Lauren's gamer or GMA? Starting at 12, she will have more than one at 20.

[00:55:42]Okay, I don't I guess I I'd missed that one. Melanie posted, "This is where social media occurs. Folks, post everything online. Exactly. Uh, let's see. Eric Eric Stevens. It ain't kids robbing Walgreens. It's the adults. When is the last time a kid w robbed Walgreens? It's the kids. It's the kids who walk in and just grab stuff and run out. It's the people who work at the Walgreens who are unloading the stuff on the back of the truck and giving it away to people. It's the adults who walk in and do it do it. But again, it's it's a small percentage of the people who are doing that. Let's just say it's 10% of the residents of Chadam who are doing this. It's the other 90% who aren't holding them accountable and saying you got to stop this. We're not going to let you cause our neighborhood to lose another business because you want to rob them. Point blank period. Whether we're the same color, whether we're the same family, whether we got the same last name or not, I am not going to let people come into my community and then give them a pass just because we're both black. That's the dumbest. Again, I'm trying not to curse. That is the dumbest Let me just go ahead and curse one time.

[00:56:49]That's the dumbest [ __ ] I've ever heard in my life. I'm not going to look the other way when I'm being robbed by someone and I'm going to say, "Hey, lift your mask up. Oh, you're black. Yeah, yeah, go ahead and rob me." No, that doesn't make sense. And we have to stop excusing bad behavior just because the person who commits that behavior is someone from our community. That is stupid.

[00:57:13]David, you are 100% right and on point.

[00:57:15]I appreciate it. Correctional officer and Wanda, for some reason, it won't let me tell my story. Listen, you go ahead.

[00:57:22]Listen, it's eight. It's It's 3 minutes to 8. So, again, I didn't want to not come on live tonight. So, again, I appreciate every single person who was on this stream tonight. Let's see. Uh let's see. Regina Gibson posted, "I am a member." There we go. There we go. So, everybody who's on the feed tonight, like I said, Tread, he posted uh he he gifted five memberships. So, if you're not a member, this is your opportunity.

[00:57:52]There are five memberships from Tread.

[00:57:55]And Tread, also, he sent a a $2 super thanks. I will have to catch this on rerun. Be good. Absolutely, Tread. It'll be up, like I said, in a couple of minutes. There's a couple of different ways, several ways you can support the David Seat Show. You can send a super thanks. You could become a member. Uh you can send any if you want to, you know, send a $5 for a coffee, you can send that to da seed through Vinmo, the the the David Seatin show at cash app seat.david.a@gmail through zel. But the the easiest thing that you can do is you, like I said, subscribe, turn on your notification bell, and share the show. As soon as this show posts, I'm going to cut it up into uh I'm going to cut it up into shorts, so you'll be able to see those shorts on YouTube, and I also post them on Tik Tok. I don't really post a ton on Facebook, but let me know if that's the ecosystem that you like. If you think that I should go ahead and post some of those shorts on Facebook, I think what do they call them? Reals.

[00:59:04]If you'd like to see reals, uh, you know, that'll have snippets of the show on Facebook, you know, let me know. And if you have an idea for a show, you can always email me at the davidseatinshowgmail.com.

[00:59:18]Last comment that I will post, correctional officer, brother David, when you and I have our cookouts, you will be able to curse all you want. My backyard will accommodate us men to talk. uh to to real talk over barbecuing my patients.

[00:59:32]Yeah, man. I appreciate it. I'm looking forward. Andrew, the baby's daddy is the grandfather, too. Yeah, man. We We've got to do better. We've got to do better. Uh a lot of times I'll have shows like this and I'll talk about issues that I see and inevitably there will be a minority of people that say, "David, you always talking about the negative stuff about black people. You never talk about the positive stuff." We have too many things with which we need to deal as a community for us to glaze over that and talk about some feelgood stories. We've got a lot of problems in the black community. And it's not racism holding us back. It's not the white man holding us back. It's not Trump holding us back.

[01:00:22]The biggest thing holding us back as a group is us.

[01:00:29]And unless and until we are willing to have that serious conversation and talk about the solutions, the first of which is just holding each other accountable.

[01:00:41]That's the minimum we can do. The minimum we can do is when you see somebody doing something wrong, say something. If they don't listen to you, you never have to say anything ever again. But you should if if enough people if if that subculture understood that when they go rob that Walgreens, every black person in that store is going to pull out their phone and they're going to call the police. Hey, 10 of us got a picture of this uh person who just robbed the store and and we know this person. They live in the neighborhood. Like I said, Chadam is 97% black and you got people blaming Walgreens calling them racist when they're telling you they got 16% a 16% theft rate, which is four times the minimum or the maximum level that they would accept. So guess what? They're going to close the store. and Will Hall and Brandon Johnson and all these other people meeting at churches and trying to throw trying to make Walgreens trying to conol them or or or you know trying to get guilt them into staying. That's that's how you that's why this stuff keeps happening in these neighborhoods because these people don't understand how businesses work. Businesses don't stay because you like them. Businesses stay somewhere because they're profitable.

[01:02:01]That's it. That's all. Uh, let's see.

[01:02:04]Solid commentary. I appreciate it. Uh, let's see. Uh, author author author or is that author thing 7403? I think that's the first time I've seen that name. I appreciate you for checking in, man. He posted, "My dyslexia saw this as 21year-old baby shower. This is effed up." No, brother. 12.

[01:02:24]12.

[01:02:28]12. That mother should be ostracized by everyone in the community where she lives. And if she goes any place else, she should be ostracized because she dropped the ball terribly that her 12year-old daughter was even in a position to get pregnant, but then throwing her a baby shower is is is I want to it makes me want to throw up.

[01:02:55]Makes me want to throw up. Virginia Gibson, what a great show. I appreciate it. Last comment. Uh Andrew, no. The police prosecutors and judges won't do Jack. The real citizens just pew pew.

[01:03:05]I'm going to do another show. I'm I'm going to probably do a show and I'm going to just do one show one night where I just come and show uh you know all of the all of my handguns that I own and we can just have a show about the Second Amendment because Illinois is horrible. They will pass any law they could possibly pass. Here we go with the camera jumping again. I don't know what's going on. I'm going have to get that straightened out. But Illinois will pass any law that they can to try and uh to try and take away people's gun rights, but they won't they won't hold people accountable who are the actual Okay. the autoframing uh that got turned off. So that's that's what was happening.

[01:03:46]Uh yeah, they'll do anything they can in the world to pass laws to to uh you know curtail the gun rights of legal gun owners like the people on this feed, but then they'll turn right around. And so they're passing laws to stop law- abiding citizens from owning guns for self-defense while simultaneously laws like the Safety Act is letting criminals out and not holding them accountable.

[01:04:12]Why do we continue to vote for the Democratic party in the state of Illinois? You know why? Because all Democrats have to say is that Republican candidate is either racist or supports Trump and we just like lemmings just fall in line and vote for the Democratic party.

[01:04:34]We got to do better, man. And we're going to hold them accountable right now on the David Seat show. I promise you that. Let's see. Brian Boon, how about a crossgenerational debate? I would love that. I would absolutely love that.

[01:04:46]That's JB Prickster. He wants us to be sitting ducks. Yeah, Melanie. I'm not.

[01:04:50]Hey, Darin. I'm not a sitting duck at all. And Michael Brisco 2-way. Now we're talking. Yeah, Michael Brisco. Let's do that. Let's do a Second Amendment correctional officer. Hey, man. We might just have to connect and just go to the gun range, man, and just just do a show.

[01:05:04]uh you know and I'll start I'll even start you know making recommendations to people like hey if you want to go get your concealed carry license I got some places I can refer you if you want to get your 48 card I'll even tell the story about what happened with me trying to get my concealed carry license I reached out to my local state senator and uh use them you know constituent services because it was being held up in Springfield. Um, but we need to talk about that black people black people h are the have are the lowest percentage of legal have the black people in America have the lowest percentage of legal gun ownership, but we have the highest percentage of being victims of crime.

[01:05:46]Let me say that one more time. Black people have the lowest legal gun ownership of any ethnicity, but we have the highest experience of being victims of crime. And according to the FBI, 80 to 85% of people who experience gun crime or gun violence experience it from someone of the same ethnicity.

[01:06:11]So, the legal black people won't buy guns. We're being we're experiencing the highest amount of gun violence at the hands of other black people. That doesn't make sense. We got to do we have to protect ourselves because the law enforcement you pick up the phone right now, call 911, and somebody's kicking in your door. Chances are you're going to have to defend yourself before the police get there. We need to have a conversation about Second Amendment in black America. Uh let's see. Andrew posted, "Bailey better not fly in any helicopters till after the election."

[01:06:40]Melody, great show to brother David. I appreciate that. Correctional officer author. I was brainwashed by Dems for 35 years. I can't believe how far they went off the deep end. The stuff that they do is that of fiction. You are absolutely right. And Andrew, Illinois Republican state reps are surprised. Democrats, too. So, we've got to find some Democrat or we've got to find some conservative representation to balance out this farleft progressive Democratic supermajority that's in Springfield right now because all they care about is raising taxes, making criminal justice reform, making it easier for criminals, making it more difficult for law-abiding citizens and immigrants. Those seem to be their four issues. And for some reason, we keep black people in the majority. Black people in supermajorities keep voting for them. I think it's sickening to me.

[01:07:39]We've got to get that taken care of.

[01:07:41]Let's see. Christian Maxwell for districts for district one when I have her back on the show really quickly or really really soon. And correctional officer weapons training for with firearms is an extension of martial arts self-defense. The gun the gun is an extension of the arm.

[01:07:56]Hey, I can't wait for us to do a full Second Amendment show. And like I said, share this show. Make sure you're subscribed.
