00:00So before I begin I do want to say a few words about this tragic shooting that
00:06took place this morning in Winder, Georgia. We're still gathering
00:12information about what happened but we know that there were multiple fatalities
00:17and injuries and you know our hearts are with all the students, the teachers, and
00:24their families of course and we are grateful to the first responders and the
00:29law enforcement that were on the scene but this is just a senseless tragedy on
00:32top of so many senseless tragedies and it's just outrageous that every day in
00:39our country in the United States of America that parents have to send their
00:44children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive.
00:50It's senseless. We've got to stop it and we have to end this epidemic of
00:57gun violence in our country once and for all. You know it doesn't have to be
01:02this way. It doesn't have to be this way. So we will continue of course to send
01:09our prayers and our thoughts to the families and all those who were affected
01:14including you know I I'm going off script right now but listen I mean you
01:19know at the last year I started a college tour and I traveled our country
01:28meeting with our young leaders right and so it was college-aged young leaders so
01:32I did trade schools, colleges, universities, community colleges. By the
01:35way I love Gen Z. I just love Gen Z but I'll tell you one of the things one of
01:44the things that I asked every time I went to the auditorium and it would be
01:47filled with these young leader students and I'd ask them raise your hand if at
01:53any point between kindergarten and twelfth grade you had to endure an
01:56active shooter drill and the for the for the young leaders who are here who are
02:02raising their hand I'm telling you every time the auditorium was packed and
02:06almost every hand went up you know a lot of us I'll talk speak about myself you
02:11know we had well I grew up in California earthquake drills we had fire drills but
02:16our kids are sitting in a classroom where they should be fulfilling their
02:22God-given potential and some part of their big beautiful brain is concerned
02:29about a shooter busting through the door of the classroom. It does not have to be
02:34this way. It does not have to be this way and you know this is one of the many
02:44issues that's at stake in this election. So New Hampshire look we have 62 days to
02:50go 62 days to go and I'm gonna tell you what you already know this race is gonna
02:58be tight until the very end. Don't miss out log on to OneIndia.com for more
