>>> THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR ANOTHER EDITION OF DONNYBROOK.

AND THE LIVE SHOW IN JUNE, FIRST, LET'S MEET THE PANELISTS WHO ARE SEATED AROUND THE BIG BROWN TABLE.

STARTING WITH SARAH FENSKE, WHO'S KIND ENOUGH TO SIT IN FOR WENDY WIESE.

MR. BILL MCCLELLAN.

FROM THE ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH.

RAY HARTMANN, AND ALVIN REID JOINS US FROM THE ST. LOUIS AMERICAN.

AND OUR ALERT VIEWERS WILL NOTICE THERE'S NEW ART WORK ON THE SET.

WET TO THANK OUR FRIENDLY, KATE -- DELIVERED AND LOANED TO US, 314, IT'LL BE ON DISPLAY FOR A MONTH OR SO.

SEE MORE OF HER ART WORK AT MAGICAL LIGHT SHOP.

I WANT TO ASK YOU OF A HORRIBLE INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING ON SOUTH GRAND.

ONE GUY DRIVING AND A PANEL CRASHED IN A CHEVY, KNOCKING ALL EIGHT PASSENGERS OFF GRAND ON TO FOREST PARK PARKWAY BELOW.

FOUR OF THE OCCUPANTS DIED.

AFTERWARDS, THE MAYOR WAS SAD AND SAID THAT MOTORISTS HAVE TO START OBEYING THE RULES OF THE ROAD.

THAT'S REALLY GOOD, AND SHE SAYS TO WORK WITH MODOT TO RECONFIGURE THE STREET.

SHE'LL SIGN A PIECE OF LEGISLATION, OF $40 MILLION TO REASSIGN SOME OF THE STREETS TO CALM THEM DOWN.

I DIDN'T HEAR HER SAY BOOST LAW ENFORCEMENT, HAVING MORE PATROLS, AND HANDING OUT TICKETS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> I DID NOT HEAR HER SAY THAT EITHER.

I CAN SAY, A YEAR AND A HALF AGO DID PUT IN AN ATTEMPT OF TRAFFIC CONTROL.

I HAVE SOME FRIENDS THAT GOT LONG TICKETS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE COMMITTING VIOLATIONS ALL OVER TOWN.

THE ROADS ARE OUT OF CONTROL.

FOCUSING ON INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART TO SOLVING THIS.

AND I DIDN'T ALWAYS FEEL THIS WAY.

I READ A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO STUDIED UP ON THIS, ON THE ROADS AND THE DEATH SAYS, WHAT THEY SAY THE STREETS LIKE IN ST. LOUIS , THAT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE THE AUTOBONN.

IT'S A CITY DESIGNED FOR 800,000 PEOPLE, WE HAVE 300,000 IN IT, AND THERE'S A GIANT, EMPTY BOULEVARD, MULTIPLE LANES THAT WE CAN RACE ON IT.

IT'S GIVING US PSYCHOLOGICAL CLUES, TO DRIVE AS FAST AS YOU WANT.

TO GET PEOPLE SLOW DOWN, YOU HAVE TO KEEP TICKETING, COME BACK DAY AFTER DAY, YEAR AFTER YEAR.

THE BETTER INVESTMENT IN MANY CASES IS TO REENGINEER SOME OF THE STREETS.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THE CITY PUTTING MONEY INTO IT.

>> THAT MAKES SENSE.

SURE, IN A PERFECT WORLD THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH OFFICERS PAID WELL ENOUGH AND ALL THAT TO DO THIS.

BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RIGHT NOW TO BEGIN TO CRACK THE VIOLENT CRIME.

I DON'T THINK WE GIVE UP ON ENFORCEMENT, WE TALKED ABOUT -- I THINK THE CITY HAS, CAME UP WITH A THING AT THE CONVENTION CENTER, THE BIG ISSUE IS THAT THAT TRAFFIC IS OUT OF CONTROL IN A WAY IT NEVER WAS.

WE ALL REALIZE THAT, BUT THE OBVIOUS.

>> I THINK YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING BUT NOT BECAUSE ALL THE STREETS ARE WIDE.

SOME ARE WAY TOO WIDE, AND GRAND AT POINTS.

BUT ANDY KITCHEN POSTS THE VIDEOS OUTSIDE OF HIS PLACE, PEOPLE BARRELLING DOWN HIS STREET.

THAT'S NOT A WIDE STREET.

AND THE HORRIBLE ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF THE GIRL WAS ON ST. CHARLES.

MY OPINION IS THE POLICE ARE NOT PATROLLING.

LAST WEEK, ONE POLICE CAR FOR THE FIRE FOURTH DISTRICT.

YOU CAN DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT LICENSE OR INSURANCE.

AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A PUNISHMENT.

>> I THINK IT'S A GOOD POINT BUT IT IS A PEOPLE PROBLEM.

SPEAKING OF -- I WAS THERE WITH MY GRANDKIDS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

THERE WAS GUN FIRE NEARBY.

WE DECIDED TO TAKE OFF.

AND I THOUGHT, WE'LL GO TO FIFTH AND DELMAR.

AND TWICE AS WE WERE DRIVING, I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND A CAR WENT ZOOMING BY ME, THROUGH THE RED LIGHT.

NOT JUST EASING UP AND RUNNING A LIGHT.

I'M TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE RACING PAST.

THAT HAPPENED TWIESZ TWICE ON -- TWICE ON THE WAY TO ROOT BEER.

YOU CAN'T CALM THE STREETS FROM STUFF LIKE THAT SO MUCH.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU.

I THINK YOU DO HAVE TO -- YOU HAVE TO TRY SOMETHING.

THIS WEEKEND, FRIDAY NIGHT, THE SOCCER, BIG CELEBRATION AND GAME IS SATURDAY NIGHT AND THE MISSOURI VALLEY CONFERENCE IS HERE THIS WEEKEND, AND THE HOME SHOW IS AT THE DOME.

TREVOR IS AT THE -- WHATEVER WE DO THIS WEEKEND TO KEEP THINGS CALM, HOW ABOUT WE MAKE THAT THE PLAN FOR EVERY WEEKEND?

I GUARANTEE THERE PROBABLY WON'T BE A LOT OF CRAZIES.

>> OH, KNOCK ON FAKE WOOD, WHATEVER THIS IS.

>> REALLY.

I PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS -- >> TO YOUR POINT, EXACTLY WHEN THE SPORTS TEAMS, THE POLICE, THEY'RE NOT IN SHORT SUPPLY AND I THINK THAT IT IS A -- I AGREE WITH YOU.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE MORE POLICE PRESENCE.

I WAS SAYING IT'S MORE REALISTIC TO HAVE THE IMPACT.

>> THE $40 MILLION COULD BE SPENT ON POLICE SALARIES.

>> LOOK AT THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING.

THE ONE THAT WAS SO TRAGIC.

I DON'T CARE HOW MANY OFFICERS YOU HAVE OUT THERE, IT'S UNLIKELY THERE WAS AN OFFICER THERE TO STOP THE CRASH.

>> THE MOTORISTS DON'T THINK THEY'LL GET PULLED OVER.

OR ANY PUNISHMENT.

>> AFTER THAT HORRIBLE ACCIDENT, THERE WAS A VIGIL ON FOREST PARK PARKWAY.

UNFORTUNATELY FOUR OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR DIED.

AND LATER, DAVID CARSON OF THE POST DISPATCH TOOK PHOTOS AND FOUND OUT THAT SOME OF THE GUYS HAD FIREARMS, AND ONE HAS A GPS ON HIS ANKLE WHILE HE WAS BRANDISHING A FIREARM.

HE WAS OUT AND ABOUT.

AND A STORY ON A WOMAN WHO SHOT SOME PEOPLE OUTSIDE A HIGH SCHOOL.

I'M THINKING THE GPS MONITORING BRACELETS DON'T WORK.

>> I'M NAIVE OF THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

I THOUGHT IF YOU VIOLATED IT, YOU MIGHT GET A STERN TALKING TO, BUT IF YOU DID IT TWICE, YOU'RE IN JAIL.

I HAD NO IDEA.

BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP, THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE MAYBE THE PERSON DOESN'T WARRANT TO BE IN JAIL, BUT THEY DON'T WANT THEM TO LVE THE HOUSE OR TOWN.

>> THEY COULD BE LEGALLY CARRYING A FIREARM.

>> I DON'T THINK WHILE THEY'RE WAITING FOR TRIAL THEY CAN BE LEGALLY CARRYING A FIREARM.

I'M SKEPTICAL OF THAT.

PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE GPS PROBLEMS, THIS IS TALKING WITH LAWYERS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, IS THEY'RE CONSTANTLY WRACKING UP VIOLATIONS.

IT'S HARD TO NOT GET A LOT OF VIOLATIONS ON THESE THINGS.

EVEN PROPERLY.

AND THE PROBLEM FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WE KNOW WHEN THERE'S SERIOUS VIOLATIONS, THIS WOMAN IS OUT OF -- SHE WAS TRYING TO TAKE THOSE OFF.

THEY DON'T TAKE THOSE SERIOUSLY, THEY'RE LOST IN THE TIDAL WAVE OF LITTLE STUFF.

THE DEVICES DON'T WORK THAT WELL.

THEY DON'T LET PEOPLE ROT IN JAIL FOR A YEAR, THAT'S A TERRIBLE MOVE TO MAKE.

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAY, THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND DAVID CARSON FOR A MINUTE.

HE'S THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

HE WAS ONE OF THE ACE PHOTOGRAPHERS IN FERGUSON WHEN THE STAFF WON THE PULITZER PRIZE.

HE WAS INSIDE ONE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WAS BEING LOOTED, TAKING PICTURES.

CHASED DOWN THE STREET.

AND NOW HE'S OUT THERE, TAKING PICTURES OF PEOPLE WITH FIREARMS, AND BRANDISHING WEAPONS.

HE'S ONE OF OUR UNION LEADERS AT THE POST DISPATCH.

THE PAPERS ARE HAVING ALL SORT OF LABOR PROBLEMS NOW.

AND THE COMPANY IS WANTING TO FURLOUGH PEOPLE.

AND DESPITE IT ALL, THERE'S DAVID CARSON RISKING HIS SAFETY.

>> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AND GO TO YOU, AND YEAH.

DAVID CARSON, PRETTY INTERESTING STUFF, HE HAS IN -- FOLKS, WE'LL HAVE A GREAT DONNYBROOK JUNE, HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US, HERE'S THE DETAILS.

>> I LOVE HEARING THE CONVERSATIONS, I HAVE THIS TO DO, AND IT'S NEVER A DULL DAY, HERE AT NINE PBS.

COMBINATION OF THOSE THINGS.

LET'S JUMP TO IT, I'LL SAY HOW TO SAY THANK YOU WHEN YOU BECOME A MEMBER.

THE $75 LEVEL AT ONE TIME, THE CHOICE OF THE NINE PBS MUG.

I LOVE THIS MUG.

IT'S MY FAVORITE MUG.

I DRINK OUT OF IT EVERY DAY.

AND THEN THE CHOICE OF THE TICKET.

ACCESS TO DONNYBROOK ON JUNE 15, AT THE SHELDON CONCERT HALL.

THIS IS, I PROMISE YOU, ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVENTS OF THE YEAR.

TOUGH CHOICE.

THE $12 A MONTH LEVEL, NOT A CHOICE BUT A COMBO.

OF TWO TICKETS TO DONNYBROOK ON JUNE 15 AND THE MUG.

TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS COMBINED.

I PROMISE YOU, YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

THE SHELDON CONCERT HALL IS INCREDIBLE.

RIGHT NOW, OVER TO THE TABLE WITH THE DONNYBROOKERS, WITH THE SPECIAL GUEST.

I KNOW -- >> I AM THE TWEETER OF DONNYBROOK, AND I'M HERE WITH 80% OF THE USUAL CREW.

WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT DONNYBROOK 2023.

THAT'LL TAKE PLACE ON JUNE 15.

DONNYBROOK IS BASIS DEBATE.

ON POLITE DISCOURSE ON THINGS THAT PEOPLE DO NOT AGREE.

BUT I THINK THAT WE CAN CERTAINLY BE SAFE IN SAYING, THAT THERE'S NO DEBATE THAT DONNY BASH IS THE ST. LOUIS SOCIAL EVENT OF THE YEAR.

WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT?

>> OF THAT NIGHT.

I .

>> IT'S A LOT OF FUN, A CHANCE TO MINGLE WITH US, AND A CHANCE TO MINGLE WITH THE VIEWERS.

IT'S A GREAT FUNDRAISER FOR NINE PBS.

AND IT'S A LIVE BROADCAST.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT, WE HAVE A LIVE AUDIENCE.

AND JOHNNY CARSON HAD A GREAT RUN, BUT HE NEVER RETIRED TO THE AUDIENCE FOR DRINKS.

>> AND HOW MAJORITY CAME OUT THERE -- MARTIN CAME OUT THERE WITH HIS CANE ON THE STAGE.

AND AFTERWARDS, MARTIN AND MAY SAT IN CHAIRS LIKE ROYALTY.

IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT OF ALL TIME.

DONNYBASH IS GREAT.

>> OKAY.

IT'S A MARVELOUS NIGHT, WE HAVE DONE THIS SO MANY YEARS.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED SINCE WE WENT BACK AND BEFORE WE HAD THE BREAK, THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW FACES TOO.

THAT'S COOL.

NOT IMPRESSED WITH US BUT THE EVENING.

AND THAT'S THE FUN PART.

FROM BEGINNING TO END, IT WAS A FUN NIGHT.

>> I DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE FULLY KNOW, IT'S EVERY BIT AS GOOD FOR US AS IT IS -- I'M NOT EXCITED ABOUT MINGLING WITH US ESPECIALLY.

>> LIKEWISE.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

I DON'T LIKE TO MINGLE WITH MYSELF.

IT SUPPORTS THIS STATION AND THE STATION IS PART OF THE PBS NETWORK.

SO MUCH GREAT PROGRAMMING, AND WE'RE LUCKY TO BE A PART OF IT.

>> I AM GOING TO ACTUALLY ENTER THE DEBATE.

DEBATE ALVIN.

I THINK PEOPLE ACTUALLY ARE IMPRESSED WITH YOU ALL.

I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THERE'S PEOPLE STAR STRUCK OUT THERE.

I'VE WITNESSED IT.

ONE YEAR I TOOK MY DAD TO IT.

AND HE WAS STAR STRUCK.

AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, HE TURNED TO ME AND SAID, THIS IS ALMOST ENOUGH TO FORGIVE YOU FOR THE BAD REPORT CARDS.

>> THEY BASICALLY LOOK AT US AND SAY, REALLY?

WHAT DO YOU DO ON THURSDAYS WHEN YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE?

>> YOUR DAD HAD HIGHER HOPES FOR YOU, NAMING YOU YALE.

>> THAT'S VERY TRUE.

>> WAS YOUR DAD A LOCKSMITH.

>> WE'LL THROW IT BACK TO -- >> PLEASE, PLEASE.

>> TAKE IT.

>> SEE, THIS IS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT.

WHEN YOU'RE LIVE ON JUNE 15 AT THE HALL, YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LAUGH WITH THE DONNYBROOKERS.

I'VE SEEN PEOPLE STAR STRUCK, AND YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE WITH US.

BECOME A MEMBER, GIVE US A CALL.

AND I'LL TELL YOU OF THE LEVELS RIGHT NOW.

$75 LEVEL, THE CHOICE OF THE MUG, THE INCREDIBLE MUG.

IF YOU SEE THAT, OH MY GOSH, I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE THEM.

HERE'S YOUR SHOT.

THE TICKET GETS YOU TO THE SHELDON CONCERT HALL ON JUNE 15 THIS YEAR AT 67 P.M. DONNYBASH IS AN AMAZING EVENT.

TIMES TO JOKE AROUND, AND IF YOU'RE LOVING THIS CONVERSATION AT HOME RIGHT NOW, YOU'LL WONDER WHERE IT HAPPENS.

SEE THAT MAGIC ON JUNE 15.

[INAUDIBLE].

AND TWO TICKETS TO DONNYBASH.

GIVE US A CALL.

BECOME A MEMBER RIGHT NOW.

BACK IN TO THE DISCUSSION WITH DONNYBROOKERS.

.

>>> THANKS SO MUCH, AND WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE SHELDON IN JUNE.

RAY, BEFORE THE BREAK YOU WERE INTERRUPTED.

>> THE APPLAUSE OF THE AUDIENCE.

I HAD A COUPLE OF OBSERVATIONS WHEN WE WERE TALKING BEFORE.

DAVID CARSON IS A THROW BACK, REALLY.

I'M NOT AFRAID TO CRITICIZE THE POST, BUT WE NEED MORE [INAUDIBLE].

A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS, ONE, YOUR SUGGESTION OF MORE PEOPLE KEPT IN JAIL, EVEN IF I DISAGREED, IT'S WISTFUL.

THERE'S NO PLACE TO PUT THEM.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE MEDIUM SECURITY WORK HOUSE.

>> IT'S NOT ON OPTION.

THEY'RE ALREADY CONVICTED.

>> THAT'S TRUE BUT SOMETIMES THE GUYS GET OUT OF JAIL ON THE ANKLE BRACELETS.

>> I DON'T KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE BRACELETS.

WE WERE TALKING BEFORE, THE FEDS APPARENT WORK BETTER -- >> MILLER WAS A FEDERAL PAROLEE.

>> AS FAR AS THE OTHER SHOCKING TO SEE THE FOLKS AT THIS VIGIL WITH THE BALLOONS ALSO WITH THE GUNS.

BUT EXACTLY WHAT JEFF THINKS WE WANT TO DO.

>> IT'S TRUE.

>> I DON'T LIKE IT, IT'S THE WILD WEST.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE NOW.

>> YOU HAVE TO CHARGE YOUR OWN GPS THING?

>> IF YOU'RE IN ONE OF THESE DEVICES, YOU HAVE TO STAY CLOSE TO A PLUG.

IT'S HARD ON PEOPLE TO DO THIS, AND HARD NOT TO -- >> I'M NOT TRYING TO LAUGH BUT OKAY.

>> I THOUGHT THE TECHNOLOGY WAS BETTER.

>> IT'S IMPERFECT SYSTEM, AND PART OF THE PROBLEM IN ST. LOUIS WE WENT FROM A TOP OF PEOPLE LOCKED UP WAITING FOR THE TRIALS, IF YOU WERE RICH ENOUGH TO PAY FOR CASH BAIL, YOU'RE OUT.

AND EVERYONE ELSE WAS STUCK IN THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE SUPREME COURT MADE THE CHANGES THEY HAD A SERVICE TO MONITOR THE PEOPLE AND TO TAKE CARE OF THE NEW ISSUES.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BEING HURT THE TRYING TO BE IN COMPLIANCE, AND THEN WHEN PEOPLE GO ROGUE, THERE'S NO ONE THERE TO SAY HEY, THIS PERSON NEEDS TO WAIT IN JAIL FOR THE TRIAL.

>> I WANT TO ASK YOU OF THE RED LIGHT CAMERAS.

THE IDEA THAT THEY'LL COME BACK.

THE COURT CALLED THEM UNINSTITUTION -- DO YOU THINK THERE'S A WAY TO BRING THEM BACK?

>> I THOUGHT THEY WERE A BAD IDEA.

THE STREETS ARE SO OUT OF CONTROL RIGHT NOW, I APPLAUD THE MAYOR FOR THINKING OF ANYTHING.

HAVING THE HORRIBLE SIDEWALK BIKES IN THE ROAD, AND I'VE ALWAYS HATED RED LIGHT CAMERAS.

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

TRY ANYTHING.

I'M GAME FOR THAT.

>> I DO NOT APPLAUD THE FOUNDER.

YOU DESCRIBED THE SCENE ON DELMAR.

NOT ONE, NOT ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TERRORIZING PEOPLE DRIVING LIKE THAT, DRIVING DOWN ST. CHARLES AND ON SOUTH GRAND.

NOT ONE OF THEM WILL BE DETERRED BY A RED LIGHT CAMERA.

THE SAME PERSON THAT HAS IT IN THEM TO DO THESE THINGS, OH MY GOODNESS I CAN'T DO THIS.

NO, THEY ARE REGRESSIVE TACTS, AND THEY'RE VERY UNFAIR, AND THEY CAUSE MORE ACCIDENTS THAN THEY CAN STOP.

>> I USED TO AGREE WITH THAT.

BUT WE CAN CHANGE THE PENALTIES.

IF YOU DO LIKE THIS YOUNG MAN, HE GETS IN THE NORTHBOUND LANE GOING SOUTH BECAUSE TRAFFIC IS STOPPED AND ZOOMED THROUGH, SOMEONE LIKE THAT GETS CAUGHT, WE'LL HAVE A MUCH HIGHER FINE OR TAKE THE CAR AWAY, DO SOMETHING.

>> THIS GUY ALREADY LOST HIS LICENSE MULTIPLE TIMES.

FOR ALL THE TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS.

HE'S STILL OUT THE THERE, PASSING IN THE RIGHT LANE.

>> BUT THIS IS NOT REALLY A LAW AND ORDER QUESTION.

THESE ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

I WAS GOING TO FIGHT ONE UP CHICAGO WAY AND THEY DROPPED IT BEFORE I HAD TO TAKE ON ALL OF THE -- I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST.

>> CHARLIE WOULD HAVE GOT YOU.

>> THEY KNOW WHO THE DRIVER IS.

AND FIRST OF ALL, PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH EXPIRED TAGS.

BUT YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER IS DRIVING YOUR CAR OR SOMEONE WHO STOLE IT, WHO GETS THE TICKET?

TO THE OWNER OF THE CAR BUT BY STATE LAW, ALL SPEEDING TICKETS HAVE TO BE GIVEN TO THE DRIVER OF THE AUTOMOBILE.

>> YOU CAN'T -- NONE OF THE PEOPLE, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ABIDE BY THEM.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT IF YOU WANT TO JUST HAVE THE CAMERAS THERE TO DOCUMENT THE CRIMES.

I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THAT AT ALL.

THE MORE CAMERAS THE BETTER.

BUT THAT'S A SEPARATE MATTER THAN GIVING -- >> AGREED, YOU CAN'T GIVE SOMEONE A TICKET BASED ON WHAT THE CAMERA SAYS.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT.

>> YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

IT'S SO WILD.

>> IT'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING.

>> WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE VIDEO THAT WAS RELEASED.

RAY, TO YOU ON THIS ONE, THE VIDEO RELEASED OF A HOMICIDE ON TUCKER THIS WEEK IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.

PICKED UP BY CNN.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE VIDEO WAS.

BUT THE STORY WAS, THE NEW YORK TIMES, POST, A NATIONAL STORY THAT APPARENTLY A HOMELESS GUY SHOT ANOTHER ONE.

AND THE SHOOTER, TOOK HIS TIME, VERY MEASURED, LOADED HIS MAGAZINE IT'S ALL VIDEOED BY SOME PEOPLE.

AND PULLED THE TRIGGER AND HUMAN LIFE WAS LOST.

YOU PUBLISHED NEWSPAPERS IN THE PAST.

WOULD YOU HAVE PRINTED SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

>> NOPE.

I WOULD NOT HAVE ATTEMPTED.

IT'S LEGAL, CERTAINLY ON TWITTERED TO DO IT.

I DON'T QUESTION THAT.

BUT IT'S NOT A CLOSE CALL.

THE EQUIVALENT OF A VIOLENT TRAFFIC ACCIDENT.

THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW AND A NEED TO KNOW CERTAIN THINGS, BUT THERE'S FAMILIES INVOLVED, VICTIMS, FAMILIES, AND IT'S JUST, MAYBE I'M OLD SCHOOL ON THIS MAYBE, BUT WOULD IT BE A CLOSE CALL.

I WOULD NOT DO IT.

>> I OPPOSE VIDEOS.

WE WOULD NOT DO THAT ONE.

IT'S NOT MY CALL ON THAT ONE, BUT WE WOULDN'T DO THAT.

>> THERE WAS A HOMICIDE FOR -- AT THE BAR.

>> THAT WAS A BLOCK AND A HALF AWAY.

RIGHT DOWNTOWN.

>> BUT IT DIDN'T RESONATE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SEE IT.

A VIDEO LIKE THIS, CAN EXPLAIN THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND FRANKLY THE VERY UGLY OF A SITUATION.

THAT WORDS CANNOT.

>> I SAW A NUMBER OF PROMINENT JOURNALISTS SHARING THIS ON TWITTER.

AND PERSONALLY, I WAS DISGUSTED BY THAT.

I FEEL LIKE CLOUT CHASING, I HAD THIS FIRST.

THIS IS A HUMAN LIFE THAT WAS LOST.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE IN ST. LOUIS WITH THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.

A HOMELESS PERSON, LIKELY SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, KILLS ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.

AN INDIVIDUAL CAN SNAP.

THIS IS NOT THE THING THAT GARDENER WOULD HAVE PREVENTEDED.

THIS IS ONE THE POLICE WILL MAKE AN ARREST AND BRING THE CASE.

>> PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT ON TV, ANYWAY.

I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

>> WHERE DID THIS PERSON GET THE GUN, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT.

>> ONE THING WE CONTINUE TO -- THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP.

THE FACT IS, A BIG COMPONENT, NOT THE ONLY ONE, A BIG COMPONENT OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE'RE ARMED TO THE TEETH.

LIKE NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AT THIS POINT.

AND IT'S NOT WORKING.

>> THE THING IS ALSO, TO YOUR POINT, I'M NOT SURE A POLICE OFFICER WOULD BE ABLE TO FRISK OR STOP THAT PERSON IF HE OR SHE SAW THE PERSON WITH THE FIREARM.

SINCE -- ALLOWED TO CARRY A FIREARM, THERE'S NO REASONABLE -- >> [INAUDIBLE].

>> TO COMPLAIN TO ME ABOUT THAT.

IF THEY STOP A CAR AND THERE'S FIVE KIDS IN IT, EVERYONE IS CARRYING A WEAPON, IN THE OLD DAYS GET IT FROM THE CONCEALED WEAPON, TAKE THE GUNS AWAY, NOW SAY, HAVE A GOOD DAY.

>> SEND THE VIDEO TO JEFFERSON CITY.

>> THERE'S A GOOD WUP.

>> THE TIME-OUT SIGN AGAIN.

WE'LL HONOR THAT, AND COME BACK IN A MOMENT, FIRST, INVITE YOU TO JOIN US AT THE SHELDON IN JUNE.

E DONNYBASH.

A LIVE BROADCAST, HERE'S MORE.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY MEMBERS, WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH BY SENDING YOU SOME INCREDIBLE THANK YOU GIFTS.

INVITE YOU TO COME DOWN, JOIN THE PARTY WITH THE DONNYBROOKERS.

YOU GET THE CHOICE OF ONE TICKET ON JUNE 15 AT THE SHELDON CONCERT HALL AT 6 P.M. OR THE MUG.

THE MUG IS SO AWESOME.

YOU SEE THEM DRINK OUT OF THIS EVERY WEEK.

YOU WANT TO BE JUST LIKE THEM, I DO, RIGHT?

THE $12 A MONTH LEVEL, YOU'RE WITH THE TWO TICKETS TO DONNYBASH.

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBER, WHOEVER, BRING THEM DOWN AND EXPERIENCE DONNYBASH FIRSTHAND.

AND ALSO YOU GET THE MUG.

>> BUT I LOVE DONNYBASH.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY ON JUNE 15, HEAR THEIR CIVIC DISCOURSE AS THEY DISAGREE WITH EACH OTHER.

LOT OF, JOKE AROUND, AND YOU PARTAKE IN QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE.

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT'LL HAPPEN.

IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVENTS OF THE SEASON.

I PROMISE YOU.

JOIN US JUNE 15 AT THE SHELDON CONCERT HALL FOR DONNYBASH.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A MEMBER, CALL.

RIGHT NOW.

OR GO TO NINEPBS.ORG.

RIGHT NOW, WE'LL HOP ON TO THE TABLE WITH THE DONNYBROOKERS AND MY FRIEND YALE.

>> THANKS.

WE ARE BACK AT THE BIG ROUND TABLE, AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE HERE ON THIS DONNYBROOK SET WILL BE AT THE SHELDON, ON JUNE 15, 2023.

EVEN I'LL BE THERE.

I'LL BE IN THE STANDS.

ROOTING FROM BEHIND.

>> WENDY WILL BE THERE.

>> WENDY WILL BE THERE WITH A SCARF.

THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT THING OF DONNYBASH, EVERYONE DRESSES TO THE NINES FOR THE SHOW.

IT'LL BE A COMPETITION BETWEEN RAY AND CHARLIE AS TO WHO WILL WEAR THE SNAPPIEST SUIT.

>> NO, NO.

>> ALVIN AND I.

>> AND I BELIEVE IT'S THE FLASHY GUY.

>> ALVIN IS FLASH.

>> BILL WILL BE THERE.

AND WENDY WITH HER SCARF, IT'S A FASHION SHOW.

>> I DON'T DRESS TO THE NINES OF COURSE.

>> COME AS YOU ARE, AND BE PREPARED FOR A GOOD TIME.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE DRESSED UP, IT'S A FUN TIME.

IMPORTANT TIME, WE DO HAVE TO STAY ON THE AIR.

THE ENTIRE NETWORK, IT'S A FUN WAY TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT.

YOU CAN TELL THAT WE HAVE FUN.

>> I AM -- MY WIFE COMES EVERY YEAR.

AND MY GRANDKIDS.

AND MY GRAND DAUGHTER EVIE USUALLY ASKS THE LAST QUESTION.

IT'S A TRADITION.

TWO YEARS NOW.

>> IT'S A GREAT TRADITION.

>> I THINK ONE OF THEM INVOLVED CROWN CANDY KITCHEN.

>> SHE DID, ASKED WHERE IS THE BEST CANDY AT.

THE BEST FUDGE SOMETHING.

AND I SAID CROWN CANDY KITCHEN.

AND ANDY HAPPENED TO BE THERE.

>> PRETTY SOON, AM I GOING TO HARVARD OR YALE?

>> CANDY ANDY IS A REGULAR AT DONNYBASH.

THERE'S A LOT OF REGULARS THERE.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT IT, IS YOU DO REALLY GET THE LOCAL LUMINARIES, AND THE REGULARS ALL COME OUT FOR THIS SHOW.

YOU NEED TO BE A PART OF IT.

SUPPORT CHANNEL 9 AND YOU'LL GET YOUR TICKETS AND THE MUG.

THAT'S THE SECOND MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION THAT YOU GET AT DONNYBASH.

WHAT'S IN THE MUGS?

>> WATER TONIGHT.

I USUALLY HAVE COFFEE.

>> WHAT'S IN THE MUGS.

THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION.

AND EVERYONE IS VERY UPFRONT ABOUT IT.

IT'S A GREAT TIME.

AND ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT DONNYBASH IS THE FACT THAT EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH DONNYBROOK, THEY'RE NOT TALKING HEADS.

THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE BECAUSE OF SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS.

THE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP IS YOU.

ALL OF US ARE ACTUALLY CITIZENS OF THE ST. LOUIS METRO AREA.

SO THE AFFAIRS THEY'RE FIGHTING ABOUT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO THEM AND THE AUDIENCE.

>> IT'S A GOOD POINT.

THE ONE THING ABOUT THESE GUYS AND WENDY.

WE'RE NOT -- WE DON'T HAVE THE TALKING POINTS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE AISLE.

AND AS A RESULT, SOMETIMES BILL IS ON THE RIGHT, AND SOMETIMES ON THE LEFT.

RAY HAS COME UP WITH POSITIONS ON THE RIGHT, FROM TIME TO TIME.

I WAS TALKING TO FRIEND OF MINE FROM CHICAGO.

SHE MET A PROFESSOR FROM -- THEY GUESSED WHAT SIDE BRENNAN IS ON.

AND THEN THEY DRINK IF THEY'RE WRONG.

>> WITH THAT, WE'LL THROW IT BACK TO HER.

>> I'M GLAD HE BROUGHT UP THE WORD COMMUNITY, THAT'S ALL WHAT THIS EVENT IS ABOUT.

BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

WE, AT NINE PBS IS LICENSED TO YOU, THE COMMUNITY.

THAT MEANS IT'S OUR JOB TO SHARE YOUR VOICES.

WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU, FOR BECOMING A MEMBER.

THE $75, RECEIVE THE CHOICE OF THE MUG, AND THE TICKET TO DONNY BASH.

JUNE 15 AT THE SHELDON CONCERT HALL.

BUT NO CHOICE AT THE NEXT LEVEL, $12 A MONTH, TWO TICKETS AND THE MUG.

BOTH OF THESE ITEMS ARE MY FAVORITE, DONNYBASH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS WE PUT ON HERE AT NINE PBS.

AT THE SHELDON CONCERT HALL, JUNE 15.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

IT'S AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN WITH YOUR FELLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

AND HAVE CIVIL DISCOURSE BETWEEN OURSELVES AND THE SEATS, AND TALK ABOUT YOUR FAVORITES AND FAVORITE TOPICS.

THIS IS A GREAT THING WE'RE SO EXCITED TO BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE COMMUNITY AND THE DONNYBROOKERS THEMSELVES.

CALL OR TEXT.

OR GO TO THE WEBSITE, NINEPBS.ORG.

RIGHT NOW, BECOME A MEMBER.

BUT WE'LL GO BACK TO THE PROGRAM RIGHT NOW AND ENJOY MORE FUN CONVERSATION.

>> FOUR POSSIBLE ROUTES, WITH METRO LINK AND LIGHT RAIL.

THE IDEA IS TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO JOBS, BUT WOULDN'T IT BE A LOT, MORE EFFICIENT IF WE USE BUSES OR MINI BUSES THAT COULD CHANGE THE ROUTES DEPENDING ON WHERE PEOPLE DECIDE TO LIVE AND WORK.

AND COULD BE ADDED RATHER EASILY.

IF WE FOUND THAT MORE SERVICE WAS NEEDED AS OPPOSED TO TO A METRO LINK?

>> YEAH, I'VE BEEN DISAGREEING WITH YOU A LOT TONIGHT.

THE COST PER MILE OF LIGHT RAIL, VERSUS BUSES, THERE'S NO COMPARISON.

LIGHT RAIL IS SOMETHING THAT UPPER MIDDLE CLASS WHITE PEOPLE LIKE.

THEY WANT TO TAKE IT TO THE GAME.

NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR PARKING.

PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DEPEND ON THE BUSES, THE BUS SERVICE IN THE TOWN IS CUT.

RIDERSHIP IS WAY DOWN BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

PEOPLE ARE WAITING AN HOUR AT A TIME FOR A BUS.

ON THE MAJOR LINES YOU THINK I'M ON SOUTH GRAND, A BUS WILL COME.

IT DOESN'T COME.

THE SCHEDULES ARE NO LONGER FULLY CORRECT.

WHY ARE WE PUTTING MONEY IN THE SHINEY NEW TOY.

>> THAT WAS FOR MY FELLOW WHITE AFFLUENT PEOPLE.

I THINK IT IS, BUT I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT RAIL.

I'VE SAID ALL ALONG, I THINK IT'S BETTER SERVED TO RIDE IT EAST TO WEST.

YOU HAVE INSTANT, AS SARAH POINTED OUT THE, WE WANT TO GO TO THE SGAM HAVE A GOOD -- GAME AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.

I DO, I'M NOT MAD THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PUT ONE NORTH-SOUTH.

RUN IT EAST-WEST.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE BUSES?

>> AS FAR AS IF YOU -- IF IT WAS RUNNING A DIFFERENT ROUTED, DO THE BUS.

QUITE FRANKLY, ME AND MY AFFLUENT WHITE PEOPLE -- >> [INAUDIBLE].

>> YOU'RE NOT -- >> IN LA.

THE AFFLUENT GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE ARE RIDING THE BUSES, ARE THEY NOT?

>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

>> I'M PRO LIGHT RAIL.

THE NORTH-SOUTH, BUT I'M A BIG FAN OF -- THEY COULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN PEOPLE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR.

NORTH-SOUTH IS WHAT ST. LOUIS NEEDS TO CONNECT.

THEY KNOW THE BUS SERVICE.

THEY RUN A VERY GOOD BUS SERVICE.

AND I AM SURE IF THERE WAS MORE DEMAND THEY WOULD MEET IT FOR BUSES.

IT WAS ALL IN THE POLITICS OF HOW THE SYSTEM DESIGN WAS MESSED UP.

THE PROBLEM IS IT DOESN'T GO ENOUGH PLACES.

THEY'RE TRYING TO CORRECT THAT.

>> IT'S TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE.

THE BUS, REDUCED ALL THE SERVICE.

PEOPLE CAN'T USE THE BUS ANYMORE.

THERE'S A STORY IN THE PAPER, PEOPLE TAKING THEM AN HOUR AND 45 MINUTES TO GET TO WORK.

IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY TO HAVE A NEW LIGHT RAIL GOING NORTH AND SOUTH.

>> THE FUNDING FOR, FOR ONE THING.

YOU COULD SAY IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY.

THEY HAVE FEDERAL FUNDING -- >> THERE'S A FINITE AMOUNT OF MONEY.

>> AS FAR AS YOU TALK ABOUT WHITE -- I DON'T HAVE CLASS.

I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO KEEP EXPANDING.

>> ALVIN REID, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF MEASURES IN JEFF CITY THAT WOULD FURTHER LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF FARMLAND THAT FOREIGNERS WOULD BUY IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI.

>> THEY DON'T WANT THE CHINESE BUYING MORE FARM LAND.

BUT THE RELATORS AND THE FARMERS LIKE IT.

THEY KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY IN CHINA.

THEY DON'T WANT A LOWER PRICE FOR THE LAND.

>> WE'RE PASSING ON THE -- WE DON'T LIKE THIS OR THAT.

THINGS WILL CHANGE.

LIKE THE REPUBLICANS PASSING LAWS, IN 50 YEARS THEY'LL TRYING TO CHANGE BACK.

THIS IS ONE, WE DON'T WANT THE CHINESE TO BUY THE FARMLAND.

>> WHAT ABOUT AUSTRALIA OR GREAT BRITAIN?

I THINK YOU NEED TO LET THE MARKETS DETERMINE WHO CAN BUY WHAT.

>> I WAS IN VANCOUVER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

THE CHINESE ARE BUYING UP VANCOUVER.

IT'S LIKE RUSSIAN -- THE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN, THIS IS A GOOD INVESTMENT INVESTMENT.

I'M SURPRISED THEY WANT TO BUY UP A LOT OF MISSOURI.

IN A SENSE -- I CAN SEE BUYING VANCOUVER.

BUT MISSOURI, IT'S STILL, IT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT TO ME.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, OUR LAND IS OWNED BY FOREIGNERS?

DOESN'T SOUND GOOD >> WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I DON'T THINK YOU CAN RESTRICT WHO CAN BUY LAND THAT'S FOR SALE.

THAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN'T DO.

>> THE 1% INTERNATIONALLY OWNING EVERYTHING.

>> I THINK THERE'S BEEN MANY PLACES THAT HAVE PASSED LAWS ON WHO'S ALLOWED TO PURCHASE PROPERTY.

I'M WITH -- YOU SEE THE BILLIONAIRES, LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PARK THEIR MONEY.

I DON'T THINK IT'S A GREAT TREND.

ESPECIALLY WITH THE FARMS, THIS IS A CRITICAL INTEREST TO OUR COUNTRY.

WHAT HAPPENS WE GET TO A POINT WE CAN'T IMPORT THINGS WE RELIE ON.

ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT THIS MEASURE IS GETTING DEMOCRATS BEHIND IT?

>> A LITTLE BIT.

THE PEOPLE ARE TALKING TO POLICE OFFICERS, THEY CAN SEE HOW DEMORALIZED THE POLICE ARE RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN GO TO AN EDWARDSVILLE AND GET A $20,000 RAISE INSTEAD OF WORKING IN ST. LOUIS.

WE HAVE CONGRESSMAN -- COUNSELLING SERVICES TO FAMILIES.

THAT'S THE BIG ISSUE, PICK UP THE PAPER TODAY, AND THERE'S FOUR KILLED IN THE CONGRESSMAN'S DISTRICT.

AND CITY IS ABOUT TO HAVE AN ELECTION.

AND WE'RE GOING PERHAPS MORE PROGRESSIVE.

AND THE OLD WAY WAS BETTER WHEN WE HAD A POLICE BOARD.

AND SURE, THE POLICE COMMISSIONS ARE APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR AND THEY'RE RICH BUSINESS MEN, THEY SELECTED THE CHIEF.

THAT'S BETTER THAN NOW.

>> FRIENDS, FAMILIES AND RELATIVES OF THE POLICE OFFICERS IN THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS LIVE IN THE DISTRICTS WHERE THE DEMOCRATS ARE BACK.

I THINK THEY'RE WATCHING THEIR BACK.

I'M NOT THAT THEY'RE ALL ON BARD WITH THIS.

I THINK -- I DON'T THINK THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT THE -- >> THE POLICE ARE SUPPORTING IT, THEY'RE DEMORALIZED.

>> WE'RE OUT OF TIME.

THIRD TIME THE CHARM.

>> IT'S OKAY.

>> WE HAVE TO GO TO THE MAIL BAG.
