your support. Real quick for people who care about this

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,679
sort of thing, which is like hundreds of thousands of people.

11
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:41,679
The North Carolina Senate approved to bill to provide local

12
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:45,840
school districts a tte T little bit of flexibility on

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,759
their school calendars, their school year calendar. This issue has

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,479
been an issue. It's as long as I've been covering

15
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:00,759
schools in Charlotte, which goes back to the year two thousand. Okay,

16
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:06,599
there's this constant fight over the school year calendar. And

17
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,640
I would just point out here again that the problem

18
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:12,799
is the model, the K twelve gov CO model, And

19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,640
so because you're trying to create a standard for you know,

20
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:22,159
millions of people, and you cannot possibly create one that's

21
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:27,239
going to satisfy everybody, because everybody's lives are different. You know,

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,560
like Christy and I are looking to plan a vacation,

23
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,959
and you know, I have different scheduling pressures with this

24
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,719
job than she has with hers, and so you got

25
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:39,599
to block off different times. And if you want to

26
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,480
go on a vacation, you got to make sure that

27
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:43,680
you got the time off. And when we go and

28
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:45,920
we travel up to New York and we go see

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,760
family up in New York, both of my sisters up

30
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,239
there are teachers, and so their schedule is different than

31
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:59,000
the schedule for my brother and his wife. Their kids

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,319
are in school in Atlanta, and so when we're all

33
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:04,680
trying to organize this stuff, their time off is different.

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,439
They go back to school later than we do. So

35
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:15,479
the problem is the model. It's too expansive to take

36
00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:19,360
into account all of these different factors and pressures. And

37
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,800
then you have the tourism industry, right, they want to

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,080
make sure that they have the season that they need,

39
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:30,639
the length that they need, and whatever. So there are

40
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,199
all these different pressures being applied to the lawmakers to

41
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,560
change the schedule. Always has been, and so Senator Burger,

42
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:42,280
after they pass this bill, Burger said, it's time for

43
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,280
us to put this school calendar debate to rest. Oh, yes, please.

44
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,599
But here's what the school calendar Flexibility Senate Bill seven

45
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,800
fifty four. Here's what the act does. It allows school

46
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:04,639
districts two options. You get two choices here, all right,

47
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,719
for when to start your school year. It retains the

48
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:14,199
current school calendar law, which is that you are to

49
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,439
start school no earlier than the Monday closest to August

50
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,400
twenty sixth. The Monday closest to August twenty sixth, Okay,

51
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:28,599
that's the earliest you can start, and you can't end

52
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:34,879
it any later than the Friday closest to June eleventh.

53
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:38,000
And the reason for that is it protects this summer

54
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,800
vacation period. Okay, So that's the existing calendar, So you

55
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:48,840
can keep that, or there's a new option to begin

56
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:54,479
no earlier than the Monday closest to August nineteenth and

57
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:57,560
ending no later than the Friday before the last Monday

58
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:01,319
in May. So basically, what is it. It's a week. Okay,

59
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,159
it's a week. You could keep the current calendar now,

60
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,919
or you can start a week early, a week earlier

61
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:18,839
in August. Smell and savor the flexibility. The bill would

62
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,800
implement new compliance measures as well and penalties for school

63
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,920
districts that defy the calendar law because apparently some school

64
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,360
districts have been doing that, they've been doing their own calendars,

65
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,319
and there's been a lot of tut tutting over that.

66
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,240
The Superintendent of public Instruction is now required or would

67
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,439
be under the bill, to report and investigate any violations.

68
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,800
The State Board of Education is then required to direct

69
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,079
the local school board to fix it if they are

70
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,480
found to be not compliant, and then if the local

71
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:58,959
board doesn't address the violation, then its central office funding

72
00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:03,959
will be withheld until becomes compliant. Also, any person who

73
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,639
lives or owns a business within the local school district

74
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,199
boundary would be able to sue the local school board

75
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,199
if it defies the school calendar law. Opens the door

76
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,920
for litigation that might prompt some compliance. Again, just pointing

77
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:31,199
out the problem is the model. What else? There's another bill?

78
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:38,199
Class size. This is a piece from wrl TV. Kindergarten

79
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,959
through third grade class size limits would go away, so

80
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:49,399
K through three class size caps lifted. This is how

81
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,879
SPIL eighth six. It would also allow up to half

82
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:58,160
of school teachers to be unlicensed. So first up, the

83
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:02,000
class sizes. They have been in place in some form

84
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,040
since the founding of the country. No, I'm kidding, it's

85
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,639
only been since twenty eighteen. OK. So just keep that

86
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,480
in mind when you hear people like, oh my god,

87
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,639
I believe we're going backwards and all this. It's twenty eighteen.

88
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,680
They put the cap on in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,

89
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,079
and they stipulate that the schools have to have an

90
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:25,639
average of only sixteen to eighteen students in K through three.

91
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,360
House Bill eight oh six makes those class size limits

92
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,079
mere suggestions, no longer requirements. Some school leaders have objected

93
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,120
to these limits for the lower grades because they say

94
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,120
it makes it harder to hire teachers in other subjects

95
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,279
and other grade levels because of limited funds and classroom space.

96
00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:55,279
And if you think about it, it does it does

97
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,319
probably require bigger schools, right, if you're going to set

98
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,279
a cap of sixteen students, then you got to build

99
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,480
more classrooms if you end up with one hundred students

100
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,680
versus if you made just bigger class sizes. Right, I mean,

101
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:18,639
I remember my class sizes were always always mid twenties. Also,

102
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:25,480
they effectively increase fourth and fifth grade class sizes. Wake

103
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,000
County School Board members have long lamented that they also

104
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,120
require more schools to be built or trailers to be

105
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,480
brought in for classroom expansion. Class size limits were originally

106
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:36,959
intended to improve student achievement and school preparedness at those

107
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,680
young grade levels, but the research has been mixed as

108
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,240
to whether or not it actually helps. Okay, so there's

109
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:49,720
that then. House Pilato six also allows schools to hire

110
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:54,759
unlicensed teachers. Charter schools can do this right now, but

111
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:59,480
the traditional K twelve schools cannot. Now. It would still

112
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:02,160
require that at least half of the teachers on staff

113
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,160
have a license at each school. College degrees would be

114
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,759
required for teachers in core subjects math science, social studies,

115
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:13,600
and language arts which used to be called English. Unlicensed

116
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,439
teachers would need pre service training so they would be

117
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:20,959
able to know how to identify and educate kids that

118
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:28,399
have disabilities, how to manage positive student behaviors, effective communication

119
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,639
for de escalating behavior, as well as safe in appropriate

120
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:39,080
use of seclusion as punishment and restraint in case the

121
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:42,039
kids getting out of control. So they would get training,

122
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,759
they just don't have the license. Here's the thing too.

123
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,159
If you're not a good communicator, I highly doubt you're

124
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,000
going to be a good teacher. The best teachers I

125
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,240
have ever had were good communicators. They made the material

126
00:08:57,759 --> 00:09:03,120
compelling and interesting and enter. You can have all the

127
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:07,039
licensing you want, but if you cannot convey the material

128
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,480
to the kids, I don't think you're going to be

129
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:13,039
a good teacher. I'm not saying all teachers. I'm just

130
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,399
saying I think it's okay if you open it up

131
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,320
for people who don't have the license, right, and then

132
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,360
they can go in. They can see how they do.

133
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,440
You can see how they do, and maybe they're really

134
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,240
good at it, and maybe they're not. If they're not

135
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:27,559
really good at it, fine, you can get rid of them. Right.

136
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:31,639
If they are really good at it, awesome, you got

137
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,159
a good teacher now. And don't you. Guys keep saying

138
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,000
that we have this teacher shortage, so we have to

139
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:39,159
get more teachers, so this would help do that.

140
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: No.

141
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Another piece of legislation, House Bill five seventy three and

142
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:46,840
its companion bill in the Senate twol four, would remove

143
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:50,679
the requirement that prospective teachers take and pass three different

144
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,000
exams before becoming licensed teachers. These are just a couple

145
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,919
of the bills this session that are aimed at removing

146
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,120
the licensing re requirement and all of the hoops that

147
00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:05,120
you have to jump through in order to become a teacher,

148
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,480
which you know, not too long ago, you didn't need

149
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:12,519
all of this stuff. You did not need all of

150
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,200
these requirements to become a teacher. And finally, House Bill

151
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:20,919
fifty six that would require local school boards to publish

152
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,320
detailed explanations of what each school system's central office position

153
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,759
is and how much employees are paid. Some argue that

154
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:36,240
there are too many administrators. School systems argue that there

155
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:39,519
are too few. So now we'll we'll get a look,

156
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,879
publish the list and see how much they're being paid,

157
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,720
because the explosion of the administrative bloat is a real thing,

158
00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:52,480
all right. So spring is here a time of renewal

159
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,080
and celebrations. You've got graduations, weddings, anniversaries and the special

160
00:10:57,159 --> 00:10:59,559
days for mom and dad. Your family's making memories that

161
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,799
are going to as a lifetime. But let me ask you,

162
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,200
are all of those treasured moments from days gone by?

163
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,440
Are they hidden away on old VCR tapes? Eight millimeter films, photos, slides.

164
00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:14,039
Are they preserved because over time, these precious memories can

165
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,799
fade and deteriorate, losing the magic of yesterday. At Creative Video,

in Raleigh, The North Carolina House past legislation yesterday allowing

177
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,679
school personnel and teachers to carry firearms on private school

178
00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:10,919
grounds in an effort to bolster school security measures. Okay,

179
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,480
so I go over this again, because people hear this

180
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,200
stuff and sometimes they just like literally their brains shut

181
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:22,320
down after they hear conceal carry teachers on campus. This

182
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,080
is at private schools, so not the K twelve Gov

183
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,120
co schools. Okay, those are still completely you know, I

184
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,480
should say completely unguarded. They are school resource officers, taxpayer

185
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200
funded school resource officers. But in the private school setting,

186
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,840
a lot of times the schools aren't very large, and

187
00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:46,000
so they would like to be able to have people

188
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,559
who are armed. And if you have a concealed carry permit,

189
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,440
you should be allowed to conceal carry when you are

190
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,000
at work and you would then become a line of defense.

191
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:04,120
And for people who have not gone through a concealed

192
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:09,159
carry process, the concealed carry process is you got to

193
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:13,519
you submit your application. You if you're in Meckelberg County,

194
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,919
you got to wait like seventeen years for the sheriff

195
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,919
to approve it. No, I'm kidding, it's not that long,

196
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:21,440
not a little bit short of that. But they run

197
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,840
your background check. They run your name and information through

198
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,440
like the mental health systems to make sure that you

199
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,559
haven't been you know, adjudicated or you know, confined or

200
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,000
something like that. What else, Oh, you have to take

201
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:42,000
a class. You have to take the eight hour training

202
00:13:42,039 --> 00:13:46,320
class and part of that class is range time. You

203
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,320
actually have to pass the range requirement. You have to

204
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:54,960
forget what it is I think it's it's like twenty

205
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,639
two out of twenty five you have to hit the

206
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,279
target twenty two out of twenty five times, something like that.

207
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,240
So there is an amount of training that goes into

208
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:14,639
getting a concealed carry and permit, and so once somebody

209
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,639
decides to do that, go through that process. They then

210
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:23,200
carry their firearm and they conceal it so you don't

211
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,919
know they have it. And what that does is if

212
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,799
there are and the population of people who conceal carry

213
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:34,000
is not large that we know of, No, it's single

214
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:40,720
digit percentages of the population generally, so you're not going

215
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:44,360
to know who is packing and who is not. And

216
00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:52,200
generally speaking, the people who conceal carry are they commit

217
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,000
far fewer crimes than like every other demographic. They are

218
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,879
the most law abiding popular The very fact that they

219
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,919
went through the process to get the concealed carry permit

220
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,679
rather than just illegally carrying it concealed, tells you these

221
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,960
are people that value following the law right. And so

222
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:21,480
the private schools have asked for these changes, so staff

223
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,240
have the option. This is not a requirement. You don't

224
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,720
have to carry if you don't want to. If you

225
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:31,000
are a concealed handgun permit holder and you don't want

226
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:34,120
to bring it to the workplace, you don't have to either.

227
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:37,480
No one's forcing you to do it. It's allowing you

228
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:42,000
to do it if you choose to. Dare I say

229
00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:50,679
it's the pro choice option. This is a particular concern

230
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:55,639
among Christian schools, which have been targeted in recent years.

231
00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:00,919
The Firearm Law Revisions Bill allows individuals with valid concealed

232
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,240
handgun permits to carry on private school property if the

233
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,879
school allows it and provides written permission. So those are

234
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,039
your requirements. If the school doesn't want the teachers to

235
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,519
carry on campus, then the school can ban it too.

236
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360
But if the school would like that to occur, then

237
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:27,200
you would have to get permission in writing from your school.

238
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,639
So this way, if you know they don't want you carrying,

239
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:34,240
but they want somebody else carrying or whatever, the school

240
00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:38,759
would be able to do that. Representative Keith Kidwell, Republican

241
00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:42,360
from Beaufort, said data shows two million times a year

242
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:46,360
legally owned guns are used to defend people in the

243
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,159
United States. The bill passed sixty two to forty four

244
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:56,559
along party lines. Representative Marsha Morey from Durham she's a

245
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,879
Democrat and a former judge, which is amazing. I have

246
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,799
not she said, I have not heard from one private

247
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,599
school teacher saying I'd like to have a gun and

248
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,480
the ability to take one on my school. Do we

249
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:11,640
really want more guns in our school? Yes, more guns

250
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,200
in the hands of people who are not trained, okay,

251
00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:18,759
Number one, Representative Maury, I would submit that you're not

252
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,720
hearing from private school teachers asking you that because they

253
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:25,960
know what your politics are on this matter. They know

254
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:28,559
that you don't want You would ban all the guns

255
00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:30,640
if you could, so they're not going to come to

256
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,000
you and ask you for this. You're also in the minority.

257
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:39,200
You have no ability to affect outcomes here in the legislature.

258
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,839
You don't have much juice. So of course people aren't

259
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:46,640
coming to you to lobby for you to help them

260
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,319
conceal carry at their Christian school. Okay, So that's a

261
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,279
ridiculous argument. Just because no one has come to you

262
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,519
personally doesn't mean that people aren't going to lawmakers and

263
00:17:56,599 --> 00:17:59,240
asking for it, Number one. Number two, do we really

264
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:02,720
want more guns in schools? Yes, that's how you protect

265
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,960
from maniac shooters. Right when a maniac shows up at

266
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,079
the door with a gun. Somebody with a gun is

267
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,920
going to be the reason why that maniac stops shooting.

268
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,359
That's it. That's how those things end. Always somebody else

269
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,400
with a gun stops the maniac. So if my option

270
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:28,559
is to have one maniac with a gun and nobody

271
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:32,400
else armed, or have one maniac with a gun going

272
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,480
into a school where potentially three, four or five people

273
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,039
in that school have guns, yeah, I'm choosing that one.

274
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,200
So yes, more guns in the schools, that would be

275
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,920
a solution, absolutely, And I already went over the training

276
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,160
part of that argument.

277
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:46,319
Speaker 3: Now.

278
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: The Senate also has a bill that would allow parents, teachers,

279
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:55,240
or others to serve as volunteer armed guards for schools.

280
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:01,759
They'd be required to take eight hours of annual training first.

281
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,400
Private schools can already hire. This is, by the way,

282
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,519
only for the private schools. Again, only for private schools.

283
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:15,319
Private schools can already hire private security, although supporters of

284
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,680
the bill say barely any schools have actually done that.

285
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,160
Many schools are small, with only a couple dozen students,

286
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,880
and so they lack the funding to hire professional security.

287
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,160
Other larger schools would simply rather spend money on different purposes.

288
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,680
Supporters say, and so they rely on volunteers to provide

289
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,079
free security right now. So what they're saying is, we

290
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,359
already have these volunteers that are participating in their child's education.

291
00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:47,000
They're volunteering to act as security for the private school.

292
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,279
We would like for them if they choose to, and

293
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,880
if they go through the process of getting a valid

294
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,640
concealed handgun permit and they would like to carry concealed

295
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,720
while on campus, we would have no problem with that. Again,

296
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,960
all of this is voluntary. And here's the thing too,

297
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,839
This is the beauty of the private model, which is,

298
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:08,480
if you don't want your kid going to a school

299
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,400
that has an armed security officer, then you don't send

300
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,680
your kid to that school. You get to choose send

301
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,880
them somewhere else where they'll be unprotected. All right, if

302
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,680
you're listening to this show, you know I try to

303
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,519
keep up with all sorts of current events, and I

304
00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:22,759
know you do too, And you've probably heard me say

305
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,920
get your news from multiple sources. Why, Well, because it's

306
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,640
how you detect media bias, which is why I've been

307
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,240
so impressed with ground News. It's an app and it's

308
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,200
a website and it combines news from around the world

309
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,680

313
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,039
ago and more recently chose to work with them as

the phones and talk with Joe. Hello, Joe, Welcome to

324
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:25,839
the show.

325
00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:28,079
Speaker 3: Hey Pete, how you doing that?

326
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: Okay? Right?

327
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: And sunny day, little cloudy, but it's a great day.

328
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:37,079
I'm enjoying listening to your discussion about the school system

329
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,920
and kids and private school and public school. But I

330
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,319
think one thing we can do to help our society

331
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,799
and help our youth is during their k through twelve

332
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:51,319
when we'm speaking public school during their K through twelve

333
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,839
matriculation to graduation and come out into society, that they

334
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:04,519
are required through their physical education to receive martial arts training.

335
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,319
Now they can get up to a fifty they can

336
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,279
become a fifty breed black belt, and maybe that's something

337
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:14,400
that you require before for them to receive a North

338
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:20,039
Carolina diploma. And by them going through that training, they're

339
00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:25,440
taught discipline, they're taught the ability to not engage in

340
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:32,200
bullying behavior, and they have a few more life skills

341
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,000
that would keep them from being victims.

342
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: So all right, The first problem I see with this

343
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,720
idea is that it relies on the assumption that kids

344
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,759
are still actually required to do fizz ed every year.

345
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 4: I don't think they are.

346
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,519
Speaker 3: I'm in high school and yeah it's a part of

347
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:53,440
the yeahs. As they sign up for their courses, they

348
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,559
have to have certain hours, and one of the hours

349
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:57,720
is in physical education.

350
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they don't. But it's my understand Like one

351
00:23:01,039 --> 00:23:04,000
of one of my nephews, he only goes to school

352
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:04,920
like two days a week.

353
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: Well, he's probably he's probably taken his house of phizz Yeah,

354
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,400
I know, he only has a few court. I know

355
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,240
some students they call him flick students. Yeah, don't one

356
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:20,559
or two classes left. But yeah, that's because they've already

357
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:23,880
have the credit hours and the things that they need

358
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,839
for graduation.

359
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: Right, So you would have to actually require physical education

360
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:34,319
for every single year that they're in school, and there's

361
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,640
no and and the fizz ed actually has to be

362
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:40,240
fizz ed like when I was in elementary school and

363
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:43,160
it would rain outside in the wintertime. Also, like we

364
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,640
would have to stay in the gymnasium and for like

365
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,519
one chunk of the time I think, like a like

366
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:52,400
three or four weeks every gym class was square dancing.

367
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,839
They taught us how to square dance.

368
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,759
Speaker 3: Well, what a great opportunity to have a martial arts yes,

369
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,400
to learn how to protect yourself, yes, and to learn

370
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,960
how to engage with people.

371
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,559
Speaker 1: I think that's a great idea to at the very minimum,

372
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:12,240
to offer something like that in the schools. My concern

373
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,920
with mandating it for every kid is, right now, there's

374
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,680
like a self selection process because it's not required, So

375
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:20,960
kids who want to learn this they go and they're

376
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,160
motivated to stick with it and all of that. I

377
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,119
don't know if I want the kids who don't want

378
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,880
to learn it, or the kids who are like who

379
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,359
turn into bad adults. Like, I don't know if I

380
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,839
want highly trained killers coming out of the schools that

381
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,759
are then going to be preying on me when I'm

382
00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:36,359
an old person.

383
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 3: Well, whether they have a physical skill or something in

384
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:46,000
their hand, they're still a dangerous person. Right, But it

385
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,839
would be really it would be really interesting. We wouldn't

386
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:52,079
have we would have less bullying because nobody would know.

387
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: Right. So with that guy, right, Well, you have to

388
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,240
if you're going to a school, well, you know, you

389
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,200
you've got to assume that everybody would know the stuff

390
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,240
that they're trying to teach you too. Although I do

391
00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:12,279
see one potential problem. Maybe the older kids would know more,

392
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,160
they would be better trained and skilled, and so they

393
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,440
may be able to employ those skills for nefarious purposes

394
00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:22,640
with greater efficiency and effectiveness on the younger kids. But

395
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,559
like I know, the martial arts training like it does,

396
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,440
it does create in a lot of people like that

397
00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:34,799
kind of mental discipline and sort of a code where

398
00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:39,240
they don't engage in that kind of behavior exactly exactly.

399
00:25:39,519 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: And I think all of what we're talking about, and

400
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,240
we talk about violence and schools and things of that nature.

401
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,839
It's an American mindset that's needed, that needs that needs

402
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:55,599
to change. Our mindset as Americans is so vastly different

403
00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:58,359
than any of the culture on earth.

404
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure about that, and we need to

405
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,079
I don't know about that. There are some places on

406
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,519
this planet that I mean that that do a whole

407
00:26:08,599 --> 00:26:11,160
bunch of really terrible things to each other on a

408
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,119
regular basis.

409
00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: You could probably count them on one hand.

410
00:26:16,319 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: No, No, I can think of many societies, like, for example,

411
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,720
we don't here here's a good example. When is the

412
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:27,680
last time you heard of people having arms chopped off

413
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:34,920
in the streets with machetes, right, or tires lit on

414
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:38,039
fire and draped over their heads and burned alive, you know,

415
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,599
stuff like that, were stoned to death in the public square,

416
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,680
or flung off of the tops of buildings, stuff like that.

417
00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:47,400
So I'd like, I don't think we are unique in

418
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,599
in in the these these violent.

419
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 3: Actions, well what were not unique, but but within our

420
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,759
own front door, I think we can work to do.

421
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: Oh well, no doubt about that. Yeah, I agree with that,

422
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,559
no doubt. And yeah, there has to be there has

423
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:10,559
to be a focus on Uh, the value of life.

424
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,279
I think that's where it starts, is that is that

425
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,839
all life is precious, and you want to make sure

426
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,640
that you're raising people and have a society that values life.

427
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:24,839
I think that's at the core exactly.

428
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,279
Speaker 3: And getting and getting rid of three ugly words when

429
00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:33,640
they're put together and the words are I don't care.

430
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,440
If we can, if we can teach your young people

431
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:42,279
to read that language out of out of their their

432
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,559
mind view of not caring, I think we have a better.

433
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,279
Speaker 1: Society is with Joe. I appreciate the call, buddy, thanks

swamp last week.

468
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: Yes, I was not. I did not get you know, assimilated.

469
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:34,079
Speaker 1: Good.

470
00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:37,559
Speaker 2: I'm not assimilated in this no swamp fever contrala.

471
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,079
Speaker 4: That no, not really good.

472
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: Meet anybody famous or.

473
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: Yes?

474
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,119
Speaker 1: Okay, game besides you?

475
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: No, no, no no. But we had a whole bunch

476
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,839
of people coming through, so it was right.

477
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: It was. It was good and a lot a lot

478
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,319
of them were the worker.

479
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: Bees, which is an important thing because these people were

480
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,079
definitely working hard to get that messaging out.

481
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,279
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I don't know if you were just listening.

482
00:30:02,319 --> 00:30:03,960
We were talking. I got a call from a guy

483
00:30:04,039 --> 00:30:08,240
named Joe. You were talking about guns in school and stuff,

484
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,240
and he suggested that we make martial arts a mandatory class.

485
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:18,200
Yes for K twelve? You like it? Okay, Rob mcga,

486
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:21,359
I okay, So I don't know if I see. So

487
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:28,480
here's my concern is that I've seen the documentary Karate Kid,

488
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,039
and I think that I think you could end up

489
00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:38,359
with some with some bad Johnny apples in there. Not really,

490
00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:42,400
and now they're going to be highly trained, yes, but

491
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,880
if they're bad apples like Daniel was that, I.

492
00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:49,599
Speaker 4: Feel Daniel was not a bad apple.

493
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: Oh he he was Daniel. He was the villain of

494
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,119
that story. Wow yeah, wow, we think about it. It's true.

495
00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:58,920
Have you ever seen this yellow car? There's been a

496
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,400
write up on this very thing they put They spliced

497
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:02,960
it all together.

498
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,559
Speaker 4: If like, so he's the problem.

499
00:31:05,839 --> 00:31:09,359
Speaker 1: Yes, he completely overreacts all the time, like when they're

500
00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:12,519
on the beach and he bashes poor Johnny's radio and stuff.

501
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 4: But what about Sato? When Sato was that was like

502
00:31:16,759 --> 00:31:17,720
karate Kid for I.

503
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,039
Speaker 1: Think, oh yeah, I don't know.

504
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 4: I think I saw how many of them have you seen?

505
00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:25,799
Speaker 1: I think just one? Maybe it is just the first one. No,

506
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,160
I saw the second one where he was doing the kick,

507
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,279
but I saw it come in when he's on the

508
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:33,440
stump on the beach or whatever, like I saw that

509
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,160
coming because it was the same movie again.

510
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: So, but Kravmagod would be an equalizer. Everybody would would

511
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:41,160
be trained in the same sort of way.

512
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,039
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. If you're in the class like

513
00:31:43,079 --> 00:31:44,839
you and I are in the class together. And let's

514
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:48,519
say I'm the bully, okay, and I know, like, because

515
00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:50,000
I can see you, because we're in the same class.

516
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,720
I can see if, like, what your skill level is

517
00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:55,200
and whether you're keeping up with my skill level. And

518
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,400
when I know if I'm a bully, I'm gonna know

519
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:03,000
which kids won't be able to employ the tactics against me,

520
00:32:03,319 --> 00:32:05,119
and so then I can I can go in then

521
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,599
hurt them very easily, you know what I mean.

522
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: I feel like they're okay. So you got two choices.

523
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,799
Speaker 1: I don't like false choices, and I only get two options.

524
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:19,559
Speaker 2: Mar martial arts Marshall marsh martial arts where you get

525
00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:24,640
those like burner less than lethal oh uh, ceramic gun

526
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,799
things that you can use if I mean, if suddenly

527
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,000
there's problems.

528
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: So rather than so, the idea the general Assembly is

529
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:38,279
allow teachers to conceal carry if they choose on campus

530
00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:42,359
at private schools only. And your answer, O answer is

531
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,799
that arm the kids, give all the kids guns. No, no,

532
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:50,759
let's be called firearms, not firearms, right, whatever the burner

533
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:51,640
thing I'm saying.

534
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,039
Speaker 2: But if you're not going to let them do martial arts,

535
00:32:55,319 --> 00:32:57,279
you have to have the teacher I would give the

536
00:32:57,279 --> 00:33:00,839
teacher the kinetic weapon that is less than.

537
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: Leath, but a kid with the kraft maga krav magat

538
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,559
would be able to take out that teacher.

539
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 4: Everybody should be trained in it.

540
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,319
Speaker 1: Are you trained in it? Would you tell me if

541
00:33:11,359 --> 00:33:11,640
you were?

542
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,319
Speaker 4: I would not. Let's see, I would not.

543
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: I figured you would not.

544
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,359
Speaker 4: I would not. I is that rule one?

545
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: Well, you could use whatever martial art you want. Yeah,

546
00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:24,200
judo judo is fine. It's it's it's you know, a

547
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,680
lot of flips and things like that.

548
00:33:25,759 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

549
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, using inertia and all that. I liked. So and

550
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,599
this is what I told Joe what he called I

551
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,480
like the idea because people who who go down and

552
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:38,519
get this training and stuff, they they have a much

553
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,000
better mindset about, yes, the use of violent right, because

554
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:44,920
they understand now fully what it.

555
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: Is the degrees of violence that you can use. And

556
00:33:47,799 --> 00:33:51,759
in addition, we're getting rid of the obesity problem because

557
00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:53,640
people will be in like super tight shape.

558
00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:55,839
Speaker 1: It's one of the things I never really understood was

559
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,799
the overweight karate instructors.

560
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:02,319
Speaker 2: You don't really see to have many. It's maybe because

561
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:05,880
they've got there. They've got like multiple belts and they're

562
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:10,159
you know, they'regither. Eventually you're gonna kind of retire or

563
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,639
be of council as they would say. I am emeritus,

564
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,079
but I do have an you know, remember back in

565
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,920
because you know you and I remember back in the day,

566
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,119
like the Bruce Lee movies.

567
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 4: And stuff like that, you know Channel nine w R

568
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,119
and and you know it would be like, don't go

569
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:29,199
near him.

570
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: He can be in two locations at the same time

571
00:34:31,559 --> 00:34:34,840
and has a seventeenth degree black bright.

572
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: And the throwing stars. I thought I was going to

573
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:40,480
tell you. I thought I was going to be dead

574
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,320
by the age of like sixteen.

575
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 4: Did you have throwing stars?

576
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,519
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to get killed by either

577
00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:48,400
the throwing stars or quicksand that was it.

578
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 2: I always I always thought quicksand I actually got stuck

579
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:53,760
in Quicksand one time, did you really?

580
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 4: On the West Coast in Venture.

581
00:34:57,519 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: Adventure California, I stooped went by myself to the beach

582
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,760
and I went and I didn't want to walk the path,

583
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,480
so I went, I cut across and I got down

584
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:12,519
into Quicksand how quick was it? It's not as quick

585
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:15,039
as you think, but you quickly get nervous and it

586
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,039
went right up to like my waist.

587
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:18,679
Speaker 1: No.

588
00:35:19,199 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I had to like basically.

589
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: Crawl out.

590
00:35:25,199 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 4: No, but how do use some of my martial arts

591
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,280
to get Oh my god? I levitated at it?

592
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,039
Speaker 1: You levitated at like Bruce Laye.

593
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 2: No, but I just jumped and threw myself onto like

594
00:35:33,519 --> 00:35:34,320
a sand bank.

595
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

596
00:35:35,079 --> 00:35:37,039
Speaker 4: And then I was like, I'm not going back there anymore.

597
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Did you like put up some cones or something around it,

598
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:43,360
warning quicksand? Look, That's what I was always advised too,

599
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,360
that there's always a sign that says warning quick sand I.

600
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,199
Speaker 2: Always thought that quick quicksand was going to be a

601
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,519
much bigger deal. I throwing stars, not not as much

602
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:54,280
numb jucks, yes, numb jucks Like that was like the

603
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:55,159
top of the line.

604
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,280
