James Corden's Message After the Texas School Shooting

- After at least 20 people were shot and killed in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, James shares his sense of heartbreak about the day's events and frustration about the way nothing ever seems to change when it comes to America's rampant gun violence.
- Zábava
I’m extremely depressed and I don’t even have kids. This is so sad, and disgusting. How can a human do this? How?
You are a suburb person!!
And the shooter only 18 years old, their next generation is messed up
@@worldcitizeng6507 yeah, games addiction is very bad, i read in the news once a couple month ago a teenager about 14 year old shoot entire family and think they will alive again because has been playing pubg
@@xaviermaster1 yeah okay sure
@@worldcitizeng6507 yeah def, let’s blame video-games instead of gun laws.
I live in Uvalde. Everything feels unreal this morning. Our community is in shambles. I thank you, James Corden for your words.
My old boss Zach Rivers lives there idk if you know him but he has grandchildren he hasn't answerd my calls I hope he didnt lose a grandchil take care brother i used to work in Del Rio I cant believe this happened
I’m from rocksprings! Prayers to uvalde and the families🙏🏽❤️😢
@@shurmainemason8154 rocksprings damm didn’t know people lived there 😅 no offense beautiful place would understand why you live there so isolated was working on that 42 inch pipeline with strike as a welder
Actually I live in Oklahoma but I call rocksprings home cause I went to school there and graduated from there.
@@shurmainemason8154 did you ever canoe down the devils river I did holy shit was one of the best things I’ve done in my life better than Vegas Disneyland and all the stuff I’ve done was so beautiful
I'm an American, and I unfortunately agree with this message.
Nothing is going to change until we do.
Joe Biden is mentally defective, so Joe Biden should not be allowed to own a gun.
And Hunter Biden was allowed to own a gun and Hunter is a crack addict
It’s people like yourself that will drive the change. The only way to get change is to admit something is not working and want to change it. I want to see the face of every innocent child and person put on a billboard on every highway and freeway and every carton of milk and juice. The only problem is there wouldn’t be a billboard big enough to fit all the victims of a years worth of school shootings on them.
Part and parcel, stiff upper lip, keep calm and carry on
Why is so easy to carry guns in America ?
You can even buy online?
These school shooting its not happened first time
I remember Columbine shooting !
@@katarzynamuszynska5426 Criminals don't care about if its legal or not Law abiding gun owners make this Country safer
Well spoken James! This country is falling apart. My son school was part of that threat going across the country earlier this year. I was scared to death even for just that day. Seeing all those family's have to actually go threw it. Words can not describe. My heart goes out to all the victims and thier family's. May God rest those poor innocent souls! 💔🙏✝️👼
I bet someone you know owns a gun... Maybe ur the problem.. Its so normal for you. The rest of the world see it as backward.
Pull them out of school, all it does is propagandize and keep kids from enjoying the sunshine the only chance they get to be a kid.
“Words of thoughts and prayers will come from our leaders but I fear change never will.” Well said James.
Leaders can hide behind "thoughts and prayers" without doing anything.
Change means standing up and doing something, and not one politician is brave enough to do that when the country is held to ransom by the NRA.
Not referring to politicians as "leaders" when they are failing to lead might be a good place to start. Identify the real leaders in your communities, state, etc. Work with *them* for the changes you want to see. The US is just too high on guns. It's weird to watch.
"Thoughts and prayers," from "leaders" with the power to do something and refuse to, are blasphemy. Nothing more, nothing less.
What change?
@@moimeself1088 did the drug war work?
My four-year-old implicitly trusts us. When I pick him up and he is climbing over my shoulders he's not thinking he will be dropped. When he's in my arms he does not suspect injury. Children are innocent to the horrors of the world. If I got that phone call, and didn't immediately go into cardiac arrest I would be looking for the quickest way to end my life. Those families. It makes me cry

Kevin I understand exactly what you mean. I had trouble not discussing this event with my wife in the presence of my 4 year old today. But if this happens to my child, I will punish accordingly and accept my fate only after that. Empathy must be enforced or there will be no change.
This brought tears to my eyes
@@brandonward2619 true. Well said
@@brandonward2619 our deaths would just leave more pain. We need anger at those responsible. Real anger.
43 year old dad in the UK here and I remember being a teen when the Dunblane massacre happened here and the shock and the revulsion and the horror and pain we shared collectively. And then the immediate action which stopped it happening again. There's still violence and our young people in cities have to deal with the threat of knife violence. Indeed, this week I've been reading of a case of some deranged attacker on the subway with a machete; there's footage on CZcams. It's horrific how he targeted a random stranger. Lives were changed in that case, but no-one died despite dozens being contained in the carriage during that flash of aggression. Had he had a gun...
Like Corden, I don't see America changing. It's not like people don't know what needs to be done. It's a choice. And to be frank, it's consistent. The lawmakers who would force a rape victim to go through with a pregnancy because they abhor abortion. The politicians who think nothing of families paying hundreds of dollars for basic medication that we get for free in the UK. The companies who pressurise staff not to take annual leave (the only developed country not to give a right to time off). States that still murder its citizens as a punishment for certain crimes. It is consistent that this country puts macho gun ownership above the peace of families, and above the lives of children. Number one cause of child death in America - absence of compassion.
Get your children out of America James.
Very similar in Australia. The Port Arthur Massacre ( which occurred a month after the Dunblane Massacre). The two are forever linked in my mind.
I’m in the U.K. pal, but I have to pay for my (sub par) medication through taxes and National Insurance, as does everyone I know. Abortion is legal everywhere in the US, so why lie about that? Very strange. Also, do you understand what it is to be a citizen in a republic? They are sovereign, unlike here where the Queen is sovereign and we are subjects. To be sovereign, you have to have the power, therefore you need the tools for power. Why criticise what you don’t understand? To virtue signal. ‘Yeah, I’m super nice because I’m against the brutal murder of children, but I’m not above using their deaths to make me feel good about myself by telling everyone how good I am. Please, just don’t do that. It’s weak af.
@@Dude0000 Hello. I can answer your points. Our medicine is not sub-par. My wife is in pharma medical research and the opposite would seem to be true. Yes, we pay for national insurance, but whether or not we pay for it, our medicine is free or capped at £10. Compare that with a $100 asthma inhaler or $2.5k for a broken arm.
Yes, I understand the difference between a republic and a constitutional monarchy, but you need to connect the dots for me between my points about the US and this. Because there are other republics that don't have the same values as the USA.
I didn't say abortion was illegal so I didn't lie. I'll quote myself 'The lawmakers who would force a rape victim to go through with a pregnancy because they abhor abortion'. When I say 'who would' I'm capturing a desire to change - do you not see that? It's pretty common knowledge so if you don't know then do some research including how access to abortion has been made more difficult.
Lastly it doesn't make me feel any better about myself talking about this subject. I find it a strange accusation but I suppose it might succeed in getting opponents to shut up if you don't want to hear their arguments. Change happens when people make their voices heard.
@@vladimirimp Totally agree with you mate! This guy is being d*ck!
And I am 45 and I remember Dunblane so vividly and whenever one of these happen, my mind always goes back to the newspaper with the photos of all those kids...it was heart wrenching.
This has hit me super hard as my daughter is the same age as these kids and I lost a beloved family member to a mass shooting. While it’s always horrifying to hear, unless you’ve personally experienced the terror and pain first hand you can never truly comprehend it. It’s been 3 years since the Christchurch massacre and it still haunts me. My heart is broken for these families as there is nothing worse in this whole world than losing a child and to lose them so violently and senselessly where it could have been avoided makes it even more unbearable. I really hope the US gets its act together as this can’t be allowed to go on or ever happen again!
As the wise Mayor Khan said, "part and parcel"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well spoken James. Am also a father from Australia and I dropped my kids at school this morning. My heart bleeds learning about shooting events in USA. Our prayers and thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones ❤💐

Well said James - RIP to all the victims and families of this and all mass shootings
How do we know how many real victims there are amongst all the false flags.
need to stop saying RIP. How do you know they are resting in peace? some of them may become vengeful spirits and some become wandering spirits. It's ignorant to assume their state of being! You're being spirit phobic! Shame on you biggot!

@@karlhawkes3820 are you seriously going to talk about this?!
@@jayforerunner965 I did on my twitter
There are things about James' personality that I don't like but I am with him 100% on this. As an American I thank you James for posting this. Thank you so much.
Good words. I live in Europe and I have to admit, the idea of a mass school shooting is nearly unfathomable in most counties in the EU. There are no fancy and expensive school security systems and people don't live in fear if being shot in malls, movie theaters, schools, dance clubs, etc.
Doing something about it is better than being a coward. This evil needs to be stopped.
WHY THE HELL THOSE GUNS ARE SO REACHABLE FOR EVERYONE.I'm European and you can not just buy a gun on online .You need to have a licence for to carry a gun around and a good reason to have it .Like the hunting reasons etc.This is absured .I wasn't even know school shooting was a thing before i saw those news but no wonder why there is so many school shooting in America .I'm so so sorry for you guys .
if marcus ruttrell is there he will go in the first minute.
The shooter was mentally ill. The politicians who continue to do nothing because they are being legally bribed by the gun industry to look the other way are the ones who are evil. They do what they do with a clear head. Well, some of them. There are a lot of bat shit crazy Republicans these days.
@@HarryPotter-om7zg BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT HAS A HISTORY ATTACKING OUR PEOPLE!
@@HarryPotter-om7zg do you really think criminals in Europe don't have firearms? You're funny. And you can't just buy a gun online in the USA. They get shipped to FFL dealers.
I don’t personally know the victims, but I am grieving with them. Its a heartbreaking and pain is indescribable 💔😭
As a parent and seeing this in the news, I cry for those families who lost their kids. So heartbreaking.
Thoughts and prayers to those families
Same
But that’s the thing though @ObraTi PH, you do not have to know them personally in order to grieve with them. But simply, for the fact that they are human beings alone like you and I, you naturally or instantly relate thus, the grief. It’s just very sad to see a country like America, which the rest of the world adore and admire for their works and many opportunities yet, is far back on something so fundamental as this🤦🏾♂️…just as James said. We are not machines nor are we some algorithm bound by certain set of rules as to how to respond to situations. Machines do not have instincts, empathy, ‘conscience’ and many other qualities we human beings possess. Which is why on the other hand,in order to solve these problems we need to think like human beings and not machines because situations like these are relatable. If only we are able to grasp this simple concept, many issues in America can be solved including discrimination and race related issues. Then America and world would truly be great. That said, my thoughts and prayers as always goes these families too🙏🏾. I’m truly hurt.💔#AmericaCheckYourself
@Tsuna Kimura 👇 why post a porn page on a video of this nature , you should be ashamed of yourself , grow a brain , have a heart
Backwards and so EMBARRASSED! To think the shit both my parents went through to become US Citizens.
For a better life in America…..to each parent,
Child, grandparent, aunts and uncles who have been devastated by this event may god shelter you this moment and always. Americans we need to do Better.
Well said James,Its depressing to think of how violent our country has become.I remember as a young school boy,i never worried about a mass shooter coming in to take our lives, you worried about the bullies or the neighbor,s mean dog attacking you on your way to school,that was it.This has got to change.Otherwise,why are we sending our children to school for?
Hard when you don't vote against guns.. You just post here
Also my heart especially goes out to those two teachers who lost their lives in this tragedy. As an early childhood teacher any school environment should be a safe space for learning and belonging for both the students and teachers. And to see that be ripped away so abruptly and horribly breaks my heart
sorry to add more sorrow but i just read that one of the teacher that passed away, her husband died of a heart attack after learning of her death ..
I'm a parent and live in Australia. And my heart breaks for the families, teachers and children in Texas!! But you also don't need to be a parent to not understand the extreme sadness this tragedy is. The teachers are an example of how much they care for the children, teachers on the front line doing their job, and these children are family too them. Something has to change!!! It cant continue Enough is enough!! And James says it all.

Prayers for all of the little children and teachers who fell victim and their families. 🙏😢. It's just inconceivable to think how this actually happens once, let alone over and over again. Thank you for those words that need to be said.
It will continue to happen. All politicians care about is money and power. And all voters care about is themselves.
💛🙏🙏
Well said Corden. I can't even imagine what these people might be going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families. May God give them the strength in this difficult time.
I cannot imagine how all of the kids felt from the gun shot it's just heartbreaking
They felt why don't the cops come in for almost an hour.
I 100% agree to James "America is one of the most backward places in the world " - about mass shooting -- my heart goes out!!!
I could not agree with you more. When people want to peacefully protest about inequality their met by bullets from counter protesters and police. When people talk about children dying they say that talking about it is an emotional fallacy despite it being fact that children do indeed die.
Hear hear...james..hear hear
It’s backward everywhere and all the systems especially. There is no justice. The police just makes things worse. The war on drugs is a joke. It’s all so pathetic. They should be helping people not condemning them and arresting them. But look when Little children need help and protection and saving the cops are nowhere to be found
America is backwards in a lot
100% even in Oklahoma I don’t feel safe
James, just to add up to your perfect statement: we are not only talking about England, Japan or Australia - developed country - when we talk about not having shootings like this. I’m Brazilian. I live in a country that still struggles with massive economic, violence and inequality issues.
And these shootings that happen in America are absolutely insane to us. Like a horror movie thing. It happens once every decade in Brazil. It happens once every month in America.
More like once every week.
Once a week actually. There have been multiple mass shooting in Texas within 7 days
@@chrisyoung109 There's actually more mass shootings than days this year. 27 of them occurred in schools.
@@chrisyoung109 Shootings for nothing? Lmao that happens only in the US, yeah shootings happen in Latin America but they're usually people who are in gangs killing other gang members or because they want to rob something but not just to kill for fun especially kids that have no fucking clue or responsibility for what happens to these psychos.
@Drew It is utterly embarrassing. I honestly believe monkeys would make better "leaders" here. Puppies, toddlers, hell parrots would be better. When you make decisions such as, make guns legal and abortion illegal, your priorities are capital eff'd up. Imagine, the ongoings of my womb being more regulated than gun violence. I just cant anymore here in America.
Hey James ...thank you for the kind words and prayers. I am from Uvalde and we are heart broken....sad.... hurt....and don't know what to do!
I did not have anyone of my family hurt in this tragedy but we are a small town. We are all affected as is everyone else in the world. I can't talk about this to anyone because you cry...yup we are crying and feel so bad. We wanted much more for these kids but the reality is we failed. They will be forever 9 and 8 years old children who we failed.
May we hug our kids a little bit harder tonight and thank those teachers who do what they do for our children, as these teachers did for ours. Hugs and prayers from Uvalde Texas!
#Uvaldestrong.
I think I know you,but I agree we have to stay strong throughout all this
You know it scares me at the thought of this. When I was younger I would walk right into my school that happened to be in America and not worry about anything remotely bad happening. Now I’m on my last year of high school and I’m scared, I walk into and pray to god that my school won’t be hit. It scares me that when I leave that car to get an education I always have to be alert at the back of my mind that there could be a shooting and I might not make it out. I’m so sorry for those who have lost their children to the massacre that happened in Texas, I can’t imagine the pain your going through. A parent should never ever have to see their child getting put in the ground, they should never have to get a call that says, “They’re a victim in the shooting and their gone.” The utter shock these parent would have to go through that their child who they left at school for a while is gone. I agree with James, there probably won’t be a change and it will happen again. I’m so sorry if you’ve lost a child or anyone to a shooting.
Sometimes I just hate being from America. It's sad to think we just become numb to this. The leaders will send their condolences. Talk about it and go on like nothing happened. Something needs to change

Excuse me. What needs to happen is for our politicians to take action. I will absolutely pray for those children and teachers that lost their lives and their suffering families. I commented on Mr Cordens speech. Which he is right. And acknowledged those lost and their families. Which yes they need the prayers and support of everyone in our country. That we are thinking of them. Don't take your nastiness out on me please. I have a strong faith in God and in our country. This needs to be stopped. Our children should feel safe in school or anywhere. I'm on their side.
Such powerful words James, thank you. I myself have two primary school aged kids here in New Zealand. The thought of them not coming home one day makes me sick to my stomach. And what makes matters worse is that we all know that the US will never change in this regard. It truly is a backward place.
We all know The Christchurch Shooter is an Australian transplant, but New Zealand immigration policy will never change. It truly is a backward place
My sister is an elementary school teacher and this has made me so nervous for her because I don’t want to lose my sister ina situation like this .
I’m watching this 20 min before I have to wake my own 8 year old daughter up for school, and I’m scared to do so. Our country is really sick. And no one ever does anything about it! Dying by gunfire in a classroom is a uniquely American way to die… and it just keeps on happening.
James has such a way with his words when it comes to serious topics and you can’t help but reflect on his message at the end. He sets the tone beautifully and I applaud him for addressing issues like this when they come up.

@@theturtleman986 yes.
We (the world civilisation) once had the right to straight up killing people just because of their beliefs, skin colour, sexuality etc.
We had the right to rape women.
We had the right to accuse people of witchcraft and therefore decide over their fate.
We had the right to kill outlawed people.
We had the right to cut off the fingers of a thief.
We had the right to have slaves. To actually OWN people.
And so on and so on.
It is a GOOD thing that the world and one's rights are changing. I don't want any of those previous rights back. But I want the children to have a right to live.
Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot were all gun control advocates too.
It's been almost ten years since Sandy Hook, and now this happened. A number of young souls are gone, and they had their lives ahead of them.
Its been 23 years since Columbine. Nothings gonna change as long as republicans are ignorant and democrats are lazy.

I’ll be honest, as an outsider looking in, I can’t really find it in me to feel any type of way about it. Like obviously it’s sad, but I feel like every other week there’s a news report of another shooting in America. It would be better if I was angry about it, but that was my initial feeling when I first started hearing about it, so the lack of emotion is really telling and it’s kind of scary. Every time this happens, it’s always ‘send prayers’ and ‘not appropriate time for gun talk’ or ‘good guy with a gun, defeats bad guy with a gun’. Alright 🤷🏽♀️
Sadly James you're right... Too many people in this country are like "muh rights! Its not dangerous to own automatic weaponry if I have one too!" Like its so insanely moronic and stupid how senseless and arrogant the people and politicians of the place I call home are... America is destroying itself for ignorance and pride... Save a spot for me in the UK Mr. Corden... I may have to move there soon

the best fight you can fight now is VOTING to change your gun laws and educating people about what gun restrictions actually are, as so many Americans think gun restrictions means zero guns allowed but it means the inability to buy automatic, fast-firing, made for mass death weapons, restrictions of people who can purchase guns, and regulations of safe storage of guns.
@@sarahkillip5687 the real solution is armed police officers on school campuses. 90% of these shooters are some frail 18-19 year old kid and in a 1 on 1 situation I’ll pick the trained police officer. Unless it’s that kid from the Buffalo shooting, he had an insane amount of training for his age
@@asianburritoo You are completely missing the point. Why should our schools - OUR SCHOOLS - need armed guards? Then I guess from there we’ll move on to places of worship and then grocery stores? We need real change not more people with guns.
so when they are not arabs or muslims they are not called terrorists?
just shooters ? so you only use the word terrorist as a form of brainwashing
James said all the right words and you can hear the pain in his voice. I can’t imagine the horrific feeling of getting that phone call those parents received but thoughts and prayers go out to each and every student and family that had to go through that
It wasn’t even a phone call. They had to sit at the civic center desperately awaiting news, then realize why they haven’t been reunited hours later, then give DNA, and then be told their child had been murdered horrifically. 💔💔💔💔💔💔

GREAT WAY TO USE YOUR PLATFORM JAMES !! EXACTLY THE SAME I WOULD DO WITH MY BIG FAN BASE IF I HAD!!! CHANGE NOW AMERICA ! NOW IS THE TIME, NO MORE!
Why is it that the most wise words spoken about this tragedy had to come from a British late night host and not the so-called “leaders” of this country. Gun laws can be changed while protecting people’s right to own them. If we can change the laws and prevent even one of these tragedies from happening again, it will have been worth it. Thank you for saying what needs to be said James. Good on you
Very well said! I'm a licensed to carry gun owner, as is my husband and we believe you should be able to bear arms and protect, however, as a country we give guns to just anybody! I want the laws to change and I want to be still be able to carry my firearm as a responsible licensed to carry gun owner who wants to protect my family if need be. I work in corporate America, I have a normal life, we have a teenager and I want to know that we can protect our family if need be AS RESPONSIBLE gun owners
@@sherriandwaynejohnson3185 that's the tragedy of America's gun laws. They're no longer fit for purpose. They're sold like candy to anyone without proof that the owners will use them responsibly.
In my country guns aren't available to all and sundry without appropriate checks.
@@sherriandwaynejohnson3185 I just want to ask you something and please don't take offence to it. What if i asked you to accept option 1 and relinquish your ownership and possession of all your firearms and I paid you double the market value for all those individual firearms (as a caveat you're no longer able to purchase another firearm or any make or model) and just hypothetically as result of doing that with every person across America there were no more mass-shootings. In this dilemma would you rather that offer or the latter option 2 whereby you keep your firearms (as does everyone else) and mass-shootings continue. Now substantively this question is fallacious and unrealistic but we're talking hypothetically here. In this scenario would you go with opinion 1 or option 2? Set aside the constitutional amendment for the purpose of answering this question.
@@sherriandwaynejohnson3185 As Corden said, all the other countries named live without the gun culture American has. This leads to not needing; to have your own gun to protect your family. Having the right to bear arms is the worst 'right' to have that ultimately has lead to your countrys gun culture.
@@thisguy976 Exactly, it seems like she doesn't realise she is apart of the problem.
So well spoken James. Coming from Sweden where school shootings is so far from our community, it breaks my heart to see that the supposedly most influential country in the world, fails to recognize and understand what their gun laws does to a community. As I dropped my 7-year old son off at school today, and looked on the calm surroundings his school is located in, I cannot even begin to comprehend how politicians think it is ok that these children who survived the school shooting, will now live in constant fear, and will be scarred for life, and will never be able to think back of their time in primary school as a time of joy and playing with friends. Instead they will be haunted by the memory of seeing their 7-year old classmates being shot and killed right in front of their eyes!! Nowhere else in the world does this happen, so how can the United States of America fail to see what they have become....a nation that when you drop your child off at school, in the back of your mind, you migh think, is this the last time I will see my child alive?
Agree with all of that. Here in Australia we had a shooting massacre in the ‘90’s that shocked & horrified everyone. The government acted swiftly & banned all automatic & semi-automatic weapons & tightened the laws re gun ownership in general. A very popular & commonsense ruling. It worked here, but sadly, will never happen in the US. Their devotion to firearms is entrenched in their constitution. It’s hopeless.
The person who committed this awful act was 18. Meaning his entire life he's experienced mass shootings. Video games didn't do this to our kids. Our society did. This is what they have grown up with. Sandy hook, Parkland, Vegas concert, Orlando night club, Churches. Synagogues, grocery stores, nothing is off limits and nowhere is safe. We have angry, sad, scared, depressed, anxiety ridden kids. We have failed them all.
Here in Colombia ; once the most dangerous country ; we have never had a school shoothing . So sad
I suggest homeschooling is the best for Americans ......period
Just recently a guy in Norway(could have been a different nordic country) killed 5 people in a supermarket with a bow and arrow. Not justifying the US obsession with guns, just putting this out there.
You are not my favourite celebrity, but thanks for being genuine and concerned.
These are beautiful Words I could not agree more. Thank you for using your platform to send your hopes and prayers and spread awareness unbelievable that it’s been that many in general let alone five months into the year. I am praying for a change there is absolutely no excuse
Thank you,, James. We need every single person with a voice to voice this point loud and clear.
I can't stop crying. I am a grandmother of two beautiful little girls - my heart goes out to the families that lost their loved ones. So sad.... so terribly sad.
Alot of respect to James for saying this
Thank you for this post. God bless all the families involved. ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
It breaks my heart thinking of the horror this children felt before they were killed. I pray the Lord gives the parents strength to get through their grief.
"Thoughts and prayers" = Let's DO nothing.
For American fans watching this I thought it would be worth explaining that James come from a generation and country where we saw a mass shooting in a primary school in Dunblane in Scotland in 1996. It was the deadliest mass shooting in British history. 16 children and a teacher killed. Another 15 injured. The name Dunblane is etched in our memories. Even people who weren't born then know the name. For those at school then it became the thing of our nightmares.
The government immediately responded to tighten gun laws, to the point that it is now very rare for anyone to legally own guns, or be killed by guns in the UK. Hunting is still permitted, but often clubs will store the guns rather than have them held in personal residences.
There hasn't been a mass shooting in the UK since.
Parents in the UK send their children to school without the fear they may not return. Teachers work in environments where they feel safe and worry about drugs and smoking, not hiding from killers.
It is very hard for us to comprehend that mass shootings are so frequent they rarely make the news, and that no one is willing to do anything to change it.
But don't y'all make up the majority of knives violence in the world as in knives have replaced guns.
Also as an American you can look at the history and founding of the US to understand why guns are a founding cultural thing in the nation like freedom of expression and beliefs cause the British where hindering that.
A majority if not all the founding articles are based off things the British did that the colonist didn't want the new government to do to them.
Like it's illegal for military personal to enter and use your home without permission because the British army was doing that without the colonist consent.
Without guns we'd still be under the British who were abusing the colonist.
I know the US history is but a blip in British history but still research.
Also fun fact in the US Constitution it is legal to overthrow the government and replace it if the people feel it no longer serves or represents there wills or wishes again because of the history with the British.
@@solisprime2669 the UK doesn't even make the Top 20 for Knife related homicides in the world (percentage of population). Nor does it make the top 10 with the most stabbing deaths (source UN Office of statistics).
In North America firearms deaths were responsible for 76% of all homicides. Knife related homicides were less than 20%. In Europe guns account for less than 20% of homicides and knives 40%. (Source as above).
Stabbings tend to have less victims as they involve close contact between attacker and victim. Guns can kill from a distance and many more hurt in one attack.
You can look at American history and say there is a justification for slavery too. But I think we have all moved on from that. Certainly Britain abolished slavery long before America.
Without guns our wars would be fought with bow and arrows, or missiles. Depends on the advancement of the people at war and the time the war took place. But surely we can agree that things have moved on since 1776, and our schools have no reason for guns at all?
@@carriew5106 you wanna bring up slavery. Who brought the slaves to the Americas it was the British, of course it was your responsibility to end it you all started it.
Don't take credit for starting the house fire then stopping it.
We simply inherited it even the founding fathers where against it but didn't have the capability to remove it at the time of the founding of the nation cause it was too ingrained but we did stop it in shorter time then the British did.
British African slavery 1698 to 1807 that is 109 of African slavery American 1776 to 1865 so 89 years of slavery so ended it in a shorter time then the biggest empire of the time.
Also to your last point no people will find means to do evil with knives, guns or a crock pot like the marathon bombers so you wanna ban crock pots.
Like the old saying goes an armed society is a polite society and in the event the US becomes tyrannical the people can defend themselves cause as history has shown when the government has all the power and the people no means to fight back the people suffer look at Venezuela or Germany or Russia.
So true. Thank you for sharing. I’m a Canadian with family and friends in many states one being Texas. I refuse to visit. Not playing my $ to a country that has leaders that will it change this culture. There is tragedy that hits the world everywhere but holy man USA do something. Did people know about the law suit from Governor Abbott. He was jogging at 26 after a severe storm in Texas. He sues the tree company and the owners of the property. Accordingly he still until 2022 receives 400k every 3 months and 14k every month until 2022. Not sure if this is true but if it is this is so bad. He is republican that does not like Obamacare….well his medical expenses seem to have been covered
@@cindicescon3149 as an American I applaud you for not spending your money here. I am beyond pissed at the continued failures from Republicans that are bought and paid for by the NRA. It is simply disgusting. They are literally still have a freaking NRA convention in Texas tomorrow. It’s beyond sick. I honestly am frankly embarrassed as an American. No other country in the world has this problem and statistics all back it up.
I know somebody from North Carolina that moved close to me and she survived a school shooting when she was 7 I forgot the town but she told me 2 people died and she had to hide in the bathroom she told me her best friends little brother died and a lot were injured I pray God will help us its so bad in America we have shooting drills and were one of the only countries that has them while some places have never even had a shooting in 20 years or more.
Wow good on you James for using your show to stand up and say this it’s unbelievable i can’t believe that happened I’m in nz myself and honestly my heart just broke when I heard this my prayers and thoughts will be with the people of Texas
Thank you for speaking on this - as an Australian, I will NEVER understand how people are holding onto this document written hundreds of years ago, when women and non-whites were not seen as people or equals... And thinking it holds value. It's disgusting. It is NOT an individual's "god given right" to a weapon and the potential to harm another (or many), as you said... It's so backwards. It shows the lack of education in America.
Hey I feel the same way about how and when the Bible was written but it's still around.
Says the person who comes from a country where a monarch is the head of state. Talk about archaic systems. Without a Constitution the legislature can do whatever it pleases. Start ignoring parts of the Constitution and one may as well not even have one. You also don't have protections for free speech in Australia. Nor do you, incredibly, have prohibitions against double jeopardy.
@@Anon54387 You sound a little defensive there mate.
It's the same way the hold onto their bibles... have you seen the atrocities written - and applauded - in there?
@@Anon54387 I mean, at least we don't have people shooting up kids at school my man
Steve Kerr: “When are we going to do something? I’m so tired of coming up here offering condolences to the devastated families. I’m so tired of moments of silence. Enough.” He calls out senators to take action. “We can’t get numb to this.”

Oh god love you for being so tired🤔
Steve Kerr is the one that led the charge to have armed guards removed from public schools. Yet I bet he sends his kids, if he has any, to a private school. Notice how these things never happen at private schools? I bet they have armed guards at Sidwell Friends. If it's good enough for the politicians' kids to have that security shouldn't it be good enough for the rest of us?
The fact that not even a week after the elementary school someone shoot up a hospital center
James, thank you for expressing what so many of us feel. Especially as a teacher, I'm furious that nothing seems to change, as you pointed out.
I don't know why teachers don't quit en masse until something is done. I would be refusing to work if I were you. And the idea that the solution is to arm teachers is ABSURD. Its not your job to be a security guard. But Texans do this to themselves. They should spend less time legislating what a woman can do with her own body and sort out gun violence instead. A right to life extends beyond birth.
War never changes
How about armed guards? How about armed staff?
By armed staff do you mean guards or teachers? Because there are so, so many reasons why it would be both dangerous and unprotective for me to have a gun in my lower school classroom. Not to mention, I don't know a single teacher who has time for weapons training
Also, WHY is it on me or on my school to protect my students, instead of on the government to just keep guns away from them??
@@dina53 the government aren’t gonna protect ya u gotta do smth for urself
He’s 100% right! All the talking in the world will not mean a thing until there is action. They say action speaks louder than words and every action has a reaction. When is enough enough.
What kind of action do you want? Do you have any answers?
Your elected officials have a responsibility to make laws which suit the people. With modern technology, how hard is it to start gathering support locally, then spreading to other states collecting signatures and inundating your officials with emails, until you're heard. We can't allow one more child to die needlessly.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@victoryiswithinus ... obviously nothing will ever change whilst you have the obsession with guns. Get rid of them! That's what you could do.
@Mary Beth the laws aren't strict enough when all and sundry can own guns without reason.
The killer is one of many so his story is irrelevant. What's important is that American children, who've barely started their lives, are being murdered in droves well before they can fulfill their dreams or futures. The suffering to their grieving parents is incalculable.
All this while Americans continue to debate over their idiotic right to bear arms. Ridiculous.
I'll never understand the desire of wanting to live in a society which is fully armed as all that does is ensure more opportunities for shootings.
in my country experiencing a school shooting is a thing that never even crosses anyones mind , in their entire lifetime!!
america ! its time you stop lecturing others and get your shit together!!
Thanks James. Somebody has to say it. This is a heartfelt message and I support 100%.
I'm so heartbroken 🥺💔 This needs to end!
I had goosebumps through out his entire monologue. I still don’t understand prioritising overturning abortion laws rather than focusing on gun reform. It is truly a sad day.
I have been shouting this from the rafters. Americans only care about life in utero.
They don't care about those fetuses once they are born either. They just want control over people
You are absolutely correct!!
@Mary Beth You could get rid of the guns and watch the school shootings at least half. I would love to hear a reason more important than saving thousands of innocent children being murdered
@Mary Beth You are absolutely insane...
Very well said my heart goes out to the family and friends rip little angels
God bless the people of America 😥😞🙏
so money is worth more than people's lives?? Completely disgusted by Americans
Mitch McConnell and the NRA need to be held accountable. There is the blood of children on their hands.
Exactly what did the NRA do ?
@@Crazy-Horse-Tx. uhh lobby politicians to block reasonable gun laws duh
@@pandapower5902 Hey smarty pants ! Tell me what more gun laws are you referring to ? Because I have never purchased a firearm without approval from Form 4473 from a FFL.. And even with my License to Carry I must still fill out the form and must be approved.
I teach middle school. It's so horrific to me that every year, my students will think of a plan based on my room setup of how they would deal with an active shooter.
Absolutely tragic my thoughts are with the families of these innocent children and their teachers 😔 😢 💔
As an ex pom living in in Australia I can not ever understand it.RIP SWEET BABIES.
Well said, James. It's on these days that I am ashamed to be an American. And there are many other days where I think of moving elsewhere, another country that doesn't have the easy access to assault weapons, or the amount of crime that we have, or lets $$$$ buy our politicians and keeps them from doing the right thing... to limit guns and safeguard our children.
And before anybody even considers replying about how great America is or our rights to guns... I had an in-law family member who was a police officer and a volunteer fireman, that was killed in the line of duty by gunfire... by a felon who should have never had a gun to begin with.

Very good points!
Bless you. i am an Australian mum
,my daughter, now 24 , said how lucky she was to never know the fear these kids must have felt. Praying for something to change for you. X
i’m with you too. i want to leave the U.S. so badly but i just know everyone would think i’m ridiculous and crazy.
Such beautiful comments you made this evening. It’s time America, we look at ourselves in the mirror.
still goes strong now, now months later we had at least 8 shootings the day of our nations independence holiday
Although being a comedian, James corden is a really eloquent speaker on tragedies
In the same breath that your President expressed his thoughts about gun control in the USA, he also says he will act with military force in support of Taiwan. It's the culture of America, if there's a problem a gun will fix it. So heartbreaking for those little lives that will never grow up.
I can not stop crying .. my heart hears only the screams of parents from Texas and far to many other places in this country .. why do we allow this to continue ? No other country has these stats .. surely we can learn from them ? It’s not lack of plausible working theories .. it’s greed and power plain and simple we trade our kids for political clout and power in DC .. shame on us all for accepting this as normal 😔

Forgot about that one already. There’s been so many since then.
I knew James would say something eloquent- he always does. And he's right. We are backwards when it comes to gun laws.
I think it's time that Conservatives stop calling themselves "pro-life."
Well said
I'm starting to believe that for most conservatives life lasts 9 months...from conception to birth...after birth they don't give a fuck
I'm pretty sure they still support babies right to live.
You probably thought in your head your comment sounded awesome, but it doesn't.
@@anonnymous31 yeah, but they keep supporting the gun laws that lead to children dying. They are not pro life, they are anti abortion rights. They don't give a shit about your life once you're born.
@@bonnie7898 Gun laws have nothing to do with death.
That's like saying supporting driving license, means you support death because some people die in car crashes.
Shitty argument. 1/10 points to you for trying.
I love you James. You can make me laugh when I'm not in a good mood (Beckham with his statue...) but you can also put my feelings over this terrible shooting in words !! Thanks you for both !!
I had a terrible birthday because of shooting and i had just turned 15 on the day it happened and it's something I'll never forget
Thank you, James and well said. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was the most heartfelt message out of all the late night show hosts.
nope. Jimmy Kimmels was the most heartbreaking go find it
@@bonbonvegabon I would say that both James Corden and Jimmy Kimmel gave extremely heartfelt monologues; as did Stephen Colbert.
@@michaellovely6601 lmfao they were so cringe. They were fake crying 🤣
@@borris3768 how can you know that💀
I’m so thankful I live in Australia!!😢😢
Same here. I can’t imagine how traumatised the survivors, and families of the victims are. It’s so depressing.
At this rate, we will be leaving this country just to make sure if my children, husband, or dies, that it's of a freak accident or health probpems. Not a mass shooter who decides it's our last day today to live because we want an education, to go to a grocery store, to see a movie, to go out to dinner, to go to the doctors, and to go to a family event.
I was in Preschool when the shooting at Columbine High School happened back in 1999; so I grew up in a post Columbine school system. However, I really didn't give it much thought until I was in sixth grade and the shooting at Virginia Tech occurred in 2007. Suddenly, I had a rather mild fear that my school would be shot up. These fears came to the forefront when I heard about the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut during my senior year. That was the first time I cried over the loss of young children who had so much ahead of them in life. The second time I have cried over the loss of young children was after I heard that seven children lost their lives at Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, Oklahoma during the EF5 tornado that hit Moore on May 20th, 2013 and the tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas was the third time. Though because I work at my local hospital; the shooting at a hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma hit particularly close to home. Shootings at hospitals, nursing homes, and doctors offices are practically unheard of in the United States to the point where hospital employees have a mindset of "something like that can't happen." But they can and unfortunately do happen.
Sending love to the USA
To those desperate for change.
To those reliving their own horror tale of gun violence in the USA
To those grieving a loss.
I send love and hope for change.
We love u USA
From here in Australia
Let's be honest: these shootings are not even a surprise anymore. I'm not from the US nor do I live there, so shootings like this are so far out of my day to day life, but I read about them all the time. And so, even though my heart goes out for the poor kids and the families, my head sometimes just shrugs and thinks that this is just another one. One more on the list. Nothing special.
And it is extremely sad that such horrendous events became somewhat normality.
So I beg the people from the US: do something against weapons. Do something against this madness. This should never, NEVER be normality. Its your children that are dying. 18 more unnecessary deaths. 18 more children who couldn't fulfil their dreams.
The solution is not more guns. All the other countries don't have this enormous problem. Do they have more guns? Do all people in Germany, France, Sweden, Japan, India, Australia... run around armed till under their teeth? NO! They simply have very strict regulations. The causality is very clear. More guns=more people getting shot. Less guns=less people getting shot.
So please, end this.
My thoughts and love to all the kiddos and families ❤️
Thank you James for expressing our feelings so eloquently and having the courage to speak up against this gun crazy madness. 💐💐💐🌺🌸
in a country that supposedly has freedom of speech it shouldn't be brave to state the freaking obvious.
This is how everyone who wasn't born in America feels. We can't understand it and we don't think it will ever get better.
Plenty of us who were born in America feel exactly the same way. We feel the same bafflement and the same despair.
Bravo James! Such a tragedy, well said mate. Prayers to all the people affected by this senseless act of extreme gun violence
It hurts so much every time I see something like this, especially when it happens to little kids. Praying for all of the families 🙏 impacted by this horror. My condolences to the parents.
Well this is what Joe wanted, welcome to Joe Bidens America
Prayers mean absolutely fuck all.
You want to make a difference? Don't vote for the scumbags taking NRA money. Don't tune in to the news channels and content creators who say gun laws aren't the issue.
Thoughts and Prayers is the polite was of saying "Oh no. Anyways..."
its great that you're praying but actually what America needs is action.
As a child, I dreamed of the American dream. Now, at 20, I can't imagine living there permanently. I don't know how people can live in a country where guns are so easy to access and the government doesn't do anything about it.
@Mary Beth WTF?
@Mary Beth never mind that rubbish. Did you hear the FACTS? 212 mass shooting in less than 6 months. Only in America! You probably don't know cos you've never lived in a normal country before but everyone laughs at your gun laws lol. When there's another school shooting only Americans are surprised. Where as we're all like yup same old same old. They don't have a problem at all 🤦♂️🤣
@Mary Beth you do not understand.
1. Knives are easily available in every country including America, and knives are atleast defendable, you can atleast pick up a stick or a chair or anything to defend yourself but you can't defend yourself when someone shoots you with a gun.
2. where bombs are easily available, people actually can't live there, atleast not peacefully for even a second.
3. bad people are everywhere, but bad people all with guns aren't.
learn to accept the truth. or atleast give a reasonable reply.
@Mary Beth The real question why is there a strong prevalence and occurence of gun violence and mass shootings in American probably than anywhere else in the world and at schools where children abide at that?? Your being defemsive about your right to own when no one is attacking it but rather a more comprehensive regulation and is screening is what most sensible people would suggest.
@Mary Beth Wow, you compare a knife to a gun or assault rifle? Didnt the person you conversed with initially in this thread already answered you 1 to 3 which you didnt reply to? Do you have children or loved ones that go to school or public places? Are you this daft? or youre just plain delusional. Comparing a knife to a gun? Where did you even get that kind of rationality? In USA? No wonder innocent children die.
