say that I appreciate that the council

377
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,280
is taking the time to consider a

378
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,720
moratorium on smoke and vape shops in

379
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,799
the city uh I wanted to remind council

380
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:23,159
members that uh the the more tobacco

381
00:20:23,159 --> 00:20:25,400
marketing and promotion that youth see

382
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,280
the more likely they are to smoke or

383
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,200
vape we also know that the majority of

384
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,360
the marketing and promotion that youth

385
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:36,240
will see will be in those retailers that

386
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,200
are right in their neighborhoods in

387
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,960
November of 2023 we did a uh store

388
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,760
observations of stores within 1500 feet

389
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,280
of schools and 31 of of retailers with

390
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,799
were within 1500 feet of schools in the

391
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:54,960
city of skincity and the majority of

392
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,919
those sold flavored Vapes 2third of

393
00:20:57,919 --> 00:21:00,360
those those had exterior advertising

394
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:02,400
which is in violation of state

395
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,000
law

396
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,880
um those those licensed tobacco

397
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,880
retailers are in disp are

398
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,080
disproportionately located near schools

399
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,520
in high poverty neighborhoods in the

400
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,080
city

401
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,600
um and those children that live in those

402
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,039
High poverty neighborhoods have the

403
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:22,440
greatest exposure to that tobacco

404
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,360
marketing we also know that 52% of those

405
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:27,400
stores sold flavored electronic

406
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,000

days that's nothing I do it because it's

561
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,440
in my city and I want to work in my

562
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,350
city if you guys don't ask the

563
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:23,360
questions I don't know what else to say

564
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:25,519
Gary I I to tell you the truth I'm I'm

565
00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:26,840
just and I know I'm not supposed to

566
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,039
speak directly you but I kind of feel a

567
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:31,600
certain way because I always believed in

568
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,159
you even when you first started running

569
00:28:34,159 --> 00:28:35,880
and I always told my neighbors and

570
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,960
everybody else if it's the law it's in

571
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,159
the books he's going to make sure they

572
00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:45,760
do it right I and I just feel like it's

573
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:46,919
not being

574
00:28:46,919 --> 00:28:49,039
done and the fact that I had a

575
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:50,679
one-on-one with

576
00:28:50,679 --> 00:28:52,799
you really just makes me feel like

577
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:54,200
you're not paying attention to what's

578
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,360
going on out here that's an insult to

579
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,440
what they're doing they're feeding you

580
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,360

581
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,640

okay okay with respect to our trucker

587
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,720
friend uh I think my observation if we

588
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,279
have a trucker brought it and trucking

589
00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:46,840
is a tough job and it's important that

590
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,559
they are treated fairly which means you

591
00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:51,600
know don't circumvent the law so I'm

592
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,840
totally in support of this

593
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,480
trucker Okay so anything you can do to

594
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,320

602
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:30,669
musician who's performing over in G in

603
00:30:30,679 --> 00:30:33,480
gway and uh so he appreciates the Dan

604
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,159
ancers we had here and okay uh the the

605
00:30:38,159 --> 00:30:40,919
uh the proposed way after night might

606
00:30:40,919 --> 00:30:44,000
have sounded pretty uh outside the norm

607
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,080
a month ago over the last weekend the

608
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,519
two United States senators from Vermont

609
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:51,679
came around and saying the same thing so

610
00:30:51,679 --> 00:30:54,880
we'd like the uh City connected to be on

611
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,360
the record saying the same thing so so

612
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,840
the proposal is for the city of the city

613
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,000
of skinuti urges the president of the

614
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,760
United States and Congress to

615
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,559
immediately stop funding and supplying

616
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:12,559
weapons to Israel that are now being

617
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:16,240
used uh to commit Unthinkable crimes

618
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,720
against Palestinian people in Gaza and

619
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,440
Humanity including genocide by weapons

620
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,159
and

621
00:31:24,159 --> 00:31:27,440
starvation ethic cleansing destru ction

622
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,440
of homes hospitals universities and

623
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,000
spiritual and historic sites leaving

624
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,480
desperate people with nowhere to go so

625
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,559
that's a proposal that I hope you can

626
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:42,639
vote on and the City of skuy can come

627
00:31:42,639 --> 00:31:44,919
down on the side and we hope to make the

628
00:31:44,919 --> 00:31:47,559
same work with other cities communities

629
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:51,639
villages to do the same thing

630
00:31:51,639 --> 00:31:55,679
uh the the the contact is

631
00:31:55,679 --> 00:32:00,279
the again the Jews were settled and Palestine had

632
00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:04,080
a choice of working in peace and

633
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,080
cooperation with the native Palestinians

634
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,720
as was envisioned by Albert Einstein and

635
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,760
others but chose to forcefully remove

636
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,919
Palestinians from homes with a go of an

637
00:32:15,919 --> 00:32:19,519
ethically pure Jewish Birthright

638
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:21,799
population extending from the Jordan

639
00:32:21,799 --> 00:32:25,039
River to the Mediterranean Sea as prime

640
00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:27,799
minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed on

641
00:32:27,799 --> 00:32:29,600
the map to the United Nations in

642
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,159
September

643
00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:34,679
2023 the pursuit of this Total

644
00:32:34,679 --> 00:32:36,880
Domination required a massive amount of

645
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,600
the United States tax

646
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,880
money uh and weapons with no constraints

647
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,360
on the

648
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:50,200
use again see since October 7th on of

649
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,559
2023 Israel could have exercised the

650
00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:54,440
right of

651
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,039
self-defense by restoring effect

652
00:32:57,039 --> 00:33:00,639
effective monitoring on the wall

653
00:33:00,639 --> 00:33:04,120
and that keeps Palestinians and Gaza out

654
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,880
of the Israel and recovered hostages by

655
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,080
exchange with uh what has happened since

656
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,039
shows a Total Domination rather than

657
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,799
defense is is the goal so I need you to

658
00:33:17,799 --> 00:33:20,200
summarize please okay soorry I got three

659
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,200
points there sorry one the property

660
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,039
damage in Gaza from thousands of United

661
00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:27,840
States supplied bomb boms and airplanes

662
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,600
exceeds the combined damage to herim and

663
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,360
Nagasaki from the atam bombs their

664
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,080
deaths and destructions are approaching

665
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,960
the many and may surpass the J Japanese

666
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,559
deaths that happen from the bombs

667
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:43,440
finally a genocide by starvation is

668
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,519
being done by un under by undermining

669
00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:49,000
the United Nations based food agencies

670
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,279
and blocking uh deliveries by truck the

671
00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:54,840
United Station States is feebly

672
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,960
responding with humanitarian Aid needs

673
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,080
via parachute and telling of a plan to

674
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,080
construct emergency Pier to deliver sea

675
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,000
the cruel irony is the United States is

676
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,960
trying to act heroically to help the

677
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,599
victims of the United States supplied

678
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,599
bombs being dropped by Israel and the

679
00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:16,960
closing thought evil can happen when

680
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,200
good things are when good people are

681
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,320
silent and also when they're okay with

682
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,879
it okay thank you thank

683
00:34:25,879 --> 00:34:27,720

00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,560
just a few sentences I I listened that

688
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,879
initial prayer that you mentioned in

689
00:34:38,879 --> 00:34:41,879
that prayer you asked uh help God help

690
00:34:41,879 --> 00:34:45,040
us to bring honor and glory to God help

691
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,520
us to make the right decisions in the

692
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,639
Pledge of Allegiance you said that we

693
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:51,440
want to bring liberty and justice for

694
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,879
all within 5 months

695
00:34:55,879 --> 00:34:57,599
31,000

696
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:00,560
people have been killed more than 70% of

697
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,560
them children and women the bombs as our

698
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,240
tax dollars are thrown they are buried

699
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:12,920
under the uh buildings hungry thirsty

700
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,480
and it may not work it may not have any

701
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,560
effect but it shows at least some

702
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,560
conscientious people say because this is

703
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,880
done at our in our names people around

704
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,320
the world know this it's only the media

705
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,280
here that keeps the American people

706
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,960
under informed so it would be nice for a

707
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,359
city ofc to say we are not being

708
00:35:33,359 --> 00:35:36,359
Bamboozled by what ABC NBC shows this is

709
00:35:36,359 --> 00:35:38,200
against the humanity against the

710
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:44,390

00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,119
um this past Friday they made that

872
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:33,200
announcement so I just was uh glad we

873
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,200
were most of us were able to attend and

874
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,319
I'm glad to see that happen um as we've

875
00:43:39,319 --> 00:43:43,359
all heard about the the tragedy of the

876
00:43:43,359 --> 00:43:46,319
child that was um that was killed here

877
00:43:46,319 --> 00:43:49,040
in the city and uh someone asked me a

878
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,960
question uh and saw that thought that we

879
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,160
should pass legislation regarding

880
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,839
abandoned child act so I just wanted

881
00:43:54,839 --> 00:43:57,000
everyone to know uh that there is

882
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,960
legislation called the abandoned infant

883
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,760
protection act where someone can bring

884
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,640
an infant to a c safe place and they

885
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,480
there's no questions asked about it so

886
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:07,960
in response to the person who raised the

887
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,160
question whether the city council would

888
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,559
be passing any legislation there already

889
00:44:11,559 --> 00:44:14,040
is legislation in place where um someone

890
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,200
can bring an infant if they think

891
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,119
they're going to harm them to bring this

892
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:22,200
someone to a like a firehouse uh police department a hospital or

893
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,520
someone they feel that can take care of

894
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,880
the infant and will take care of the

895
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,400
infant but I just want people to know

896
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,119
that that is in place and um we uh our

897
00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:30,880
hearts go out to the families of the

898
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,720
child Halo and just pray for the entire

899
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:36,599
family because it's a tragedy no matter

900
00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:37,920
how you look at

901
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,160
