Dale Hansen at WFAA-TV (Channel 8) has gone viral once again after his "Hansen Unplugged" commentary Monday night on the Parkland, Fla., students and their fight for gun control.

“I used to be those kids, and it bothers me a great deal that I'm not anymore,” Hansen says in the segment. “I used to think that my generation could change the world, and in some ways we did, but not nearly the way we thought we would.”

The 2 1/2-minute monologue began with Hansen’s assurance that he is not taking a stance, though he says people will think he is. Hansen first shared his thoughts on Saturday’s March for Our Lives, a nationwide demonstration supporting gun control organized by students from Parkland.

While Hansen laments his own departure from being enthusiastic about changing the world, he encourages the Parkland students not to lose their passion.

“The survivors of that latest school shooting have mobilized America, and part of the world too, and maybe this time it will be different,” Hansen says. “The cynic in me doesn't think so because the people they're trying to reach don't work for you and me. They never have. They work for their biggest donor. They work for a check, and the money always wins.”

Hansen says he hasn’t voted since 1972 because of his desire to vote for the perfect candidate, not the lesser of two evils. The issue with not voting, as Hansen explains it, is that "sometimes the bigger evil wins."

Hansen uses Rick Santorum as an example of such evil, criticizing the former U.S. senator's recent comments on CNN that suggested student protesters should spend their time learning CPR to better prepare for shootings.

Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland organized the March for Our Lives after a shooting at the school left 17 dead. The march quickly gained national support, with more than 800 locations across the U.S. hosting rallies. Thousands marched across North Texas, including in downtown Dallas, calling for bans on assault weapons, better background checks and more reform.
