So, these public schools have just not been able to keep up with the fatherlessness crisis that we have going on in our country because they are so liberal and they try to be so forgiving to every segment of the population that they don't put discipline in these kids anymore. Your kids can't go to a public school and have real discipline. Everyone wins. You don't have anyone there that's bridging that gap for these fatherless babies. That is the real issue. Yeah. And we have to take a stand. We have to allow these kids to go to religious institutions, allow these kids to go to charter schools, and be able to get access to a quality education that every other country across the world -- Yeah. -- gives to their children. I think you make fantastic points. And you know, these, all of these individuals work hard. They pay taxes. Their tax dollars go to these public schools. And as you point out, some of these places spend $25,000 per student. So something is not right there because they're not getting a $25,000 education. And people say, we need more money. You got to throw more money at the schools. But that's not true because some of these areas that are serving the children the least are spending the most per capita on these students. This is what Joe Biden said about school choice. Watch this. If I am president, Betsy DeVos' whole notion from charter schools to this are gone. So, he, you know, has said that it's gone. And he, his platform says that he is in favor of school choice but he's not in favor of portability of dollars to private schools or religious schools. What do you say to that? And do you think the attitude on this is changing among people who watch all of this play out? 

It is. Black moms in particular are listening to this and they want their kids to get access to education. Yeah. There are so many single moms that need that. The school is the place, I tell you. People think I'm crazy, Martha. But I'm calling to bring the paddle back to our schools. That's what we really need to do. We need to bring the paddle back, start bringing discipline back in our schools. And Joe Biden is a scary man and America should be really hesitant to see what he is doing. Because for a person to come and stand against school choice, that's evil. Well, I don't know if a lot of people would agree with you on the paddle idea but I think that a lot of people would agree that we do need to not be afraid to have discipline of some form in some schools. And I know that during the Obama administration they really cut back a lot on, you know, suspending kids and all of that. That cut way back on it. We did see it makes a difference in terms of discipline in the school. So, always good to hear your opinion, sir. Hey, Martha, if they -- Yes, go ahead. -- if they come to the school where I spend time and mentor and teach, they will ask for that paddle to come back I tell you that. We will see. Thanks for sharing your opinion tonight. Jack Brewer, always good to see you. Thank you, sir. God bless you.
