Blackstar is proud to introduce the HT Venue series, Mark II. After three years of intense R&D, they essentially answered all the requests from the guitar players and made an award-winning line of HT Venue series amps even better. What they really wanted to do was take that clean channel and really make it more powerful and more musical. So the clean channel now has knobs for bass and treble, so EQ, but it also has a voicing switch. Clean channel voice one is going to be a classic American sound, which is sparkly and clean. Voice number two is going to be a classic British sound, which has a little bit of break up at higher volume settings. So you can get super sparkly clean or a little bit of kind of an edge of break up clean on that single clean channel. Moving to your left, you're going to see OD1 and OD2, those are your two overdrive channels, each one having its own voice. Voice number one of those overdrive channels is going to be more dynamic and more responsive. If we switch over to voice number two, you're going to get more articulation and it cuts better. Moving to the left of that, you're going to see all of your EQ settings, the ISF, bass, middle and treble for your overdrive. You're also going to move to the left of that and see the master section. The master volume is going to be your overall output volume that controls all of your channels, but it's also going to have presence and resonance, which is kind of a master EQ that controls master top end and master low end for a little bit more clarity or a little bit more thump on the low end. Each of the Venue Series Mark II amps has a button that allows you to switch it down to 10% of its output power. Now it's not just practical, it's great that you can take a 100 watt amplifier and push a button and turn it down to where it lowers the volume but still keeps it responsive and musical. What it also allows you to do is to get the sound of a dimed amp with all the sag and compression and musicality at a much lower volume so you get the benefits of a loud cooking amplifier without all of the liabilities of the volume. If we turn the amplifier around, you'll see a handful of output options. The most common of course is going to be plugging into a speaker cab so you have a handful of outputs for any number of different speaker ratings but you also have a balanced XLR out. That allows you to go direct out to a recording console, front of house, direct box. You have a headphone line output as well. Something new for the Venue Series Mark II is a USB out. That allows you to plug directly into a desktop or laptop computer and get amazing recorded guitar tones silently and easily. You also have the Series FX loop which is a carry over from the Mark I version of the HT Venue amplifiers. That allows you to choose between instrument or line level sources so you can use pro outboard rack gear or you can use your normal stop boxes in that FX loop. On the back you also have lastly a switch to choose between light and dark reverb.  Each of the amplifiers comes with a two button foot switch but there's an optional five button foot switch that expands the functionality of the HT Venue Series Mark II. Not only can you switch channels which you would expect but you can also foot switch the different voices of these channels as well. You can turn reverb on and off and then the five button foot switch gives you access to a master volume boost. It's not just sonic improvements that Blackstar made with the Venue Series Mark II. They made each one of the amps a little bit smaller, a little bit lighter and a little bit more portable. So overall, the HT Venue Series Mark II represents a groundbreaking leap forward in an already award-winning amplifier line.

town, dark city, and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers. That's with the U.S. Marshal and the spell of gun smoke. Gun smoke. Starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America. The story of a man who moved with it. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. It's hot today, Mr. Dillon. Yeah. Used to get hotter in sweetwater though. Texas. Yes, sir. But I wasn't there very long. No. What'd you do there, Chester? Oh, I was a salesman, Mr. Dillon. Salesman. Well, what'd you sell? Lightning rods. Lightning. Oh, well, now there are good things to have, Mr. Dillon. Why, I had a line of lightning rods. I don't explain it to me, Chester. Too hot. Well, I'll go get us some beer. Maybe that'll help. I don't think I want any beer, Chester. Well, then why don't you just go take a siesta, Mr. Dillon? I'll stay here in the office. Why don't you just leave me alone? All right, Mr. Dillon. Marshal. Yeah, what do you want, Doc? A couple of cowboys been feeding their liquor over at the Texas Trail. That's what saloons are for, isn't it? And they were giving Kitty a bad time. Oh. She got rid of them now. But they're down at the end of Front Street now, making remarks and pestering the town ladies. It just might lead to trouble. Well, I'm not going to walk down there in this heat just to lecture a couple of hard-nosed cowboys. I'll go, Mr. Dillon. Oh, good, Chester. You go, huh? Just tell them to take it easy and leave the ladies alone. Yes, sir, I will, Mr. Dillon. All right, boys. Now, that's enough. Who's this? A preacher, maybe. That's him. Boys, Marshal Dillon sent me down here. And we're going to send you right back, tell us. Mr. Dillon said you can have all the fun you like, but to leave the ladies alone.  They've been left alone too long. Yeah, well, they need us a couple of big-handed Texas men. Look, now, why don't you go over there to the alfaganza?  You will, huh? Well, that's mighty thought of you, Mr. We just don't want any trouble, that's all. Sure we don't. And I got an idea how we won't have any. Why don't I get on my horse here? Stay with our friend a minute, Travis. Hey, mister, I'll make a bet. What kind of bet? What do you mean? Any kind. You name it. Come on. Well, but I don't... I got him. He spilled his gun, Travis. Pick it up and grab your horse. Yeah, he's getting his rope off of me. Maybe you wear off, mister. You're going for a ride. Dragon, sobo dragon! Let's go! Mr. Marshall. What? Who got Chester? A couple cowboys. They wrote him and dragged him out of town. Come on. Well, which way? West, I'm going with you. Hurry. There they are, but they're not dragging anything. They must have cut him loose. There he is by that sagebrush.  Look at him. He's bleeding all over the torrent of ribbons. I'll stay with him, Marshall, if you'd like to... No, Charlo.  I'll get him back to the dock right away. All right, Marshall. So, Mr. Chester, I got you now. We'll be at the dock soon. Easy, Chester. Easy fellow. Carry him when you get tired, Marshall. I won't get tired, Charlo. Not for a long time. He's in bad shape, Marshall. The worst is something that's bothering his breathing. I don't know what it is. We'll just have to wait and see if it goes away. If he lives the next few days, he'll pull through. I know, I know, I know. I'll stay right here with him. Why did I have to send him? Why didn't I go? Oh, and I don't blame myself, Marshall. I told him to go, didn't I? Yes, but... Doc, can I talk to him? No, no, Marshall. No, not for a while. All right, then. Would you tell him this for me? Going after those men, I'm going to bring him back. Alive. Or at least half alive. On the street outside, waves of heat move back and forth, making things seem unreal. Like Chester lying up there at Docks. That seemed unreal somehow. I walked down to the jail and I went inside and I sat there for a while. Then only once I got up and unbuckled my guns and I hung them on a peg behind the desk. And I went over to the Texas Trail. I'm over here, Matt. Sit down. Matt, I heard about Chester. How is he? Doc doesn't know for sure. They were in here bothering you. Who were they kidding? I never saw them before. One was a kind of weasel-faced man named Trevitt. And the other? Big man, real brute. Named Stobo, I think. I see. What outfit, they say. Would it be the crow track? Yeah, and the crow tracks holding my herd up the river. Can I get kitty? Wait a minute, Matt. Yeah? No business of mine to ask, but where are your guns? It would have been easier for Chester if they'd have shot him and killed him. But I don't see it. So I'm not going to shoot them. Chester dies, I'll see him hanged. Otherwise... Otherwise what, Matt? I don't know. But I'm going to bring him back and we'll wait and see. You're taking an awful chance. Maybe. Oh, Matt. Please be careful. Kitty? Yeah, Matt. Looking on Chester once in a while, we can maybe... Oh, of course I will. Don't worry about him. Thank you, Kitty. So long. What is it, Shiloh? Marshall, I want to ride after those cowboys with you. No, Shiloh, I'm going alone. But we could use you here at the jail. Here? I'm going to take two prisoners. I don't know when or how, but I need a jailer when they come in. So I'll bring them in with you and then I'll be... No. That's something I have to do alone.  Tease her in my desk. Here's my horse. I'm going now. Hey, uh, wait a minute, Marshall. You're not armed. I know it, Shiloh. Goodbye. Who's the trail boss here? Where is he? Here I am, and I don't need any riders. Maybe not, but you got two riders I need. That's the Cotrack outfit, isn't it? That's right. I'm looking for a couple of your men called Stoboe and Truvin. I ain't here, mister. And where are they? They come back this afternoon, picked up the gatherings and left. Didn't even wait to get paid off. I'm telling you this just because they're no good and I'm glad they're gone. Which way'd they go? I wouldn't tell you if I knew, mister. I didn't think you would. Who are you, anyway? I'm a U.S. Marshal of the Dutch. That's all? Well, I don't know what you want them for, and I don't care, but how you going to take them, Marshall? Put salt on her tail? You ought to at least take a club if you're going after that Stoboe. He's mean. He's big. Besides, being a Texan. We've hung Texans up here before, mister. Yeah. I heard Stoboe and Truvin say they were heading west, following the Arkansis. Where are you from, son? Texas, near Waco. And what are you sniveling around and forming on these men for? That Stoboe kicked me. Knock me down and kicked me. All right, son, I'll ride along the Arkansis. But you ride back to Texas and learn how to fight your own battles. We will return for the second act of gun smoke in just a moment. But first, the conventions start next Monday when the Republican Party takes over Chicago. CBS Radio's greatest reporting names and the core of technical experts manning mobile units and studios covering the convention floor and corridors are all set to bring you history as never before. Whatever happens, wherever it happens, you'll miss nothing when you tune in the conventions on CBS Radio starting next Monday. Now, the second act of gun smoke. I cut straight down to the Arkansis and followed it west. I rode close to the water where I could use the sound of it for only my cover. After an hour or two, I spotted a hobbled horse alone. Stoboe and Trebek must have separated. I got down and followed the animals tracks as best I could in the moonlight until I cut the dying coals of a campfire on the bank ahead. To one side, I can make out the huddle figure of a man asleep in his blanket. It took a long time to crawl to his head where I saw the weasel face of the man Trebek. His gun belt lay on a saddle blank at an easy reach. I stood up and evened it out into the river. And as Trebek sat up with a snap, I kicked him back down. Don't shoot. Don't shoot.     Now where's your rope? I told you to lie down. Now where's your rope? Under my saddle there. You gonna lynch me? No, but you may hang legally if you live that long. Now keep your arms not blank and lie still while I get you roped up here. Oh, you missed it. That'll do it. Let's just say I'm a good friend of a man you dragged out of dodge this morning. Stoboe was in on that too. It was his idea. He did it. Don't worry. I'll find Stoboe. Yeah, gonna leave me like this. I'll be back. Too bad for you, I'm not.  He'll take you under dodge right to the jail. When you get there, tell Shiloh who you are if you can still talk. He'll give you a nice clean self. You're the Marshal. I'll be back when I find Stoboe. You can't do it, Marshal.  Ride like that across a horse. No, no, listen. Stoboe's about a mile up there. We had a round. I left him. See, I told you, Marshal. Let me go now. Trevon, how would you like to go to dodge behind my horse with a roper on your heels? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Marshal.  I'll pack you on now. I tied Trevon across my horse and started him off in the direction of dodge, and then I forgot about him. Stoboe was next. I rode west on Trevon's horse. Don was just breaking when I saw him. Crouched behind a campfire, cooking breakfast. His horse was saddled and stood nearby. I rode straight up, got down, and walked over. Strange, eh? No. I'm not lost. Stoboe. No tricks, mister. I don't see a gun, but no tricks. No tricks. Relax, Stoboe. I'm unarmed. Who are you? Matt Dillon from U.S. Marshal, out of Dodge. You're a long way from Dodge, Marshal. Stoboe, you and your pal had some fun with a friend of mine. Yesterday you heard him bad. Maybe you killed him. You rode out here without a gun to tell me that? You're the craziest Marshal I ever saw.  What do you think of that? I expected you wouldn't.  You're about the coolest man I ever saw, Marshal. Do I eat? Sure you do. Sure.   I know. It's too bad I only got one dish for your last meal, Marshal. A man can keep sassy on meat alone, Stoboe. Yeah, he sure can. Well, looks about done. At least this here piece says you can't... All right, I got your gun, Stoboe, so don't try anything.   Just a few calls.   You can't hurt me like that! On your horse! Come on, now! Get up there!   There, now. Now, you ride toward Dodge.  All right. Yeah, Trevitt, get here. More dead than alive, but he's here. That was rough, Marshal. Real rough. Yeah. Doc ain't sure yet what he's live. Lock Stoboe up. I'm going over to Dodge. All right, you get down and walk straight. I'll shoot you through both knees. With the Doc, let me take a look at him. It seemed to me he had more trouble breathing than before. But the Doc said another day might see him out of it. And there was nothing I could do. So I went up for a steak and some sleep. And the next morning, I went back to the jail. Morning, Marshal. Is everything all right, Shiloh? Doc looked over your prisoners. Trevitt's pretty sick yet, but Stoboe's all right. Got a few burns, is all. Nothing could hurt that moose. A hangin', might. Sure, but what if Chester pulls through? You can't hold us then, Marshal. I don't like the sound of your voice, Trevitt. But you can't hold us. Be quiet. You too, Stoboe.  I don't even want to look at him. You're kind of sorry for Trevitt.  I don't feel sorry. Don't you take it out on me, Marshal. I didn't send Chester off to do my job. Are you? I'm sorry. Go get some breakfast, huh, Shiloh? I'll wait here now. I'll be back later. Doc? Well, what is the Doc coming? Chester, he's going to be all right. But are you sure? Well, of course, Marshal. His breathing suddenly changes. The pressure's off. Somewhere else, oh, he's going to be fine. That's good. Of course, he'll be in some pain for a while yet. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Doc. I'll come see him in a little while. I'll tell him for you, Marshal. All right. Come on, Trevitt. Where to? Come on, I said. What's up, Marshal?  I'll get going. Come on. Stoboe, didn't he? Not me. You can't do anything to me.  Trevitt, your horse is down at the national. Go get on it. You're turning me loose? Get your horse and ride and don't ever come back to dodge, not while I'm alive.  Yeah, yeah, sure. Sure, I'll go. What you do is, Trevitt, put a knife in him. I turned him loose. Now come on, get out of that cell. Am I free too? You will be in a little while. So the Doc, Marshal, Chester, hey, where you going with Stoboe? Going to shoot me in the back, probably. That right, Marshal? I'm going to do what I should have done three days ago when I sent Chester after you. Bring him outside, Shiloh. Let's go, Stoboe, slow and easy. Bring him over here, Shiloh. You're going to drag me, is that it? You try that. That's what you do, isn't it, Stoboe? Don't try. Never mind. Shiloh, hold my gun. Here. What? Oh, I get it. You're going to fight me. Oh, Marshal, you're crazy, isn't I? Why, I'll tear your throat out. If he wins, let him go, Shiloh. Maybe I will. I said you'll let him go. All right, Marshal. All right, maybe you're crazy, but I guess this is your party. Come on, Marshal. I'll make it short for you. Real short. Stand back, everybody. Get back to your hearth.  Why you? Give me my gun, Shiloh. Here, you don't look too good, Marshal. I'd better get that down. He's hurt, but he isn't dead. If he can't ride, throw him on the stage. We'll get him out of here. I'll see him again. I'll shoot him. Can I come in? Yes, Mr. Dillon. Been lecturing a couple of hard-nosed cowboys. One in particular. I'm sorry, Mr. Dillon. Those two sort of got the drop on me. Yeah, it sure did. Mr. Dillon? Yeah. I've been thinking, and... Yeah. What is it, Chester? Well, Mr. Dillon, I'm not much help to you here. Maybe I better just... That's enough, Chester. Well, but I've been thinking that... Well, just stop thinking. Yes, Mr. Chester. Now, look, Chester, I'm going to tell you something. I, uh... I need you here. You see, you're the only man in Dodge I can really trust. Yes, sir. Well, you can trust me, Mr. Dillon. Yeah, and I know. And I'm thanking you, Chester. But you're sure no help to me lying there, you know? No help at all. Well, I don't even stay here long. The doc says I'll be up and around again.  Huh? Well, what do you say? Well, that'd be fine, Mr. Dillon. Well, I'd sure like that. Gun smoke transcribed under the direction of Norman MacDonald stars William Conrad as Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshall.

Okay, so we are going to talk about how to set up mic control or a switch 3 or switch 6 with your SingThing. So SingThing comes with this microphone, it's the MP75 which has a mic control button. There's also the MP76 which has several more buttons that you can use to control and then that's sold separately. Also sold separately are the switch 3 and switch 6 and same idea you can use. See any of these buttons or switches to control any of these effects, you can use it to bring up that guitar tuner if you want to, lots of great stuff. So it's pretty simple to set up and actually there's a guide built right into the SingThing so it's even easier. So what you're going to do is you're going to hold down the home button and that'll bring you to this screen, it says switch learn mode and it's a prompted guide as to how to set up your switch. So it says press a mic button or a foot switch so I'm going to use the mic, press down that mic control button and it says switch selected MP75 then it says choose functions. So I'm going to say I want delay to turn on when I use this. So you hit delay make sure it's blue, home was flashing, hit home and now when I use this button you'll see it triggers delay on and off.  The other one you can do is with your switch three or switch six, same thing, hold down the home button, it says press a mic button or foot switch and hold down one and then it says choose your function, I'm going to say that I want harmony to come on. So select harmony and hit home. And now I can trigger harmony on and off with that switch.  So yeah there you have it.

Today the Supreme Court handed down another batch of rulings and the question is which civil rights and civil liberties that we lose today folks? So the first is they decided to gut Miranda rights So in the event a police officer arrests you and doesn't read you your Miranda rights And you end up self-incriminating and then later on that self-incriminating evidence is used against you in the court of law Well, you can't sue the police officer who failed to read you your Miranda rights Now the reason why Miranda rights are incredibly important is because most people I'd argue probably don't know about their Miranda rights They don't know that they have the right to remain silent So when you don't remind them of that they could likely self-incriminate So that's why this was an important civil liberty and important for police officers to do the Supreme Court said mm. Don't really care Now on top of that They also stripped away our right to remain safe and secure in this country by striking down a New York concealed carry Regulation Josh Gerstine of Flitico reports the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of gun owners who want to carry their weapons outside the home Striking down New York state's rules giving local officials brought authority to deny such permits for almost any reason Writing for the majority Justice Clarence Thomas said New York's requirement that gun owners show proper cause to carry a weapon outside the home for self-defense Violates the Constitution's guarantee of gun rights quote We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need Thomas wrote that is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant's right to confront the witnesses against him And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self defense Yeah, so I mean anyone with a brain can acknowledge that it is abundantly clear how these far-right Supreme Court justices are detached from reality They're actually comparing the right to purchase a deadly weapon designed to kill to somebody saying something unpopular Well, you don't have to get a permit to say something unpopular Therefore, why should you get a permit or show proper cause to get a permit to buy this weapon to kill people? And sure most people will not purchase a gun with the intent to kill people Perhaps they get it for self-defense, but I want to be abundantly clear here New York did not ban concealed carry all that they are asking Reasonably so is that if you want a concealed carry permit you simply show proper cause why you need this? So that way if somebody says well I want a concealed carry permit because I plan on robbing someone this day can say no But the Supreme Court is saying actually they don't have to show proper cause at all They could just get a concealed carry permit that's unconstitutional now They are limiting the scope of this ruling to New York's law But other states who have similar laws will likely see their law struck down in the coming years as Zack's going filled up the Hill explains Thomas noted in his majority opinion that some other states have similar restrictions to the one declared Unconstitutional on Thursday Thomas explicitly referenced proper cost standards Like the one in New York and laws enacted by California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Yeah, so needless to say those laws in those states are on borrowed time right now So what this case does what this ruling does is it drastically Expands gun anarchy and limits the state's ability to enact gun regulations that curtail the level of violence that we see in the United States But the implications are broader than that slates Mark Joseph Stern explains that this new test that the court is imposing on states Quote will render many many more gun control laws unconstitutional and he adds before today about 83 million people About one in every four Americans lived in a state that strictly limited concealed carry to those who had a heightened need for self-defense Now zero people live in such a state now We haven't even gone to the most absurd element of this case because of the precedent that they're setting Well the gun legislation that the Senate is working on right now the bipartisan gun legislation Because of this precedent that legislation could eventually be struck down Literally, and I just want to for a second remind you about that gun legislation It is not even the bare minimum it will not do enough But Republicans are presumably trying to go along with something just so people can get off their backs and they can use This as an excuse after the next mass shooting and say well We passed something so this is not even sufficient It's not gonna curtail gun violence, but there's some good elements in it however, the far right Supreme Court is establishing a precedent that would likely Claim that this bipartisan gun law, which is milk toast is Unconstitutional so they're going further than the far right Republican senators currently Scoonfield continues Adam Winkler a professor at the UCLA School of Law Raises doubts about the court upholding red flag laws which allow courts to confiscate weapons from someone deemed a danger to themselves or others A law like a red flag law part of the Senate compromise is a new modern innovation He said there is no historical tradition of taking guns away from people who are in crisis He also raised alarm bells about the legislation's closing of the so-called boyfriend loophole The legislation would expand existing regulations that prevent abusers in certain circumstances From obtaining a firearm to abusers in romantic and dating relationships so because of this ruling today Well the law that the Senate will likely vote on this week Could and will likely eventually be struck down That is how extreme this Supreme Court is to the right of Senate Republicans now Biden denounced the decision and a statement But one thing that he said following this news really rubbed me the wrong way and I want to get to that So CNN senior reporter Edward Isaac Dovia writes Biden in a statement on the Supreme Court guns decision Sent to reporters by email says I call on Americans across the country to make their voices heard on gun safety Lives are on the line now. I'm sorry. I've got to ask what does that even mean? You are the president of the United States You have power currently and you are calling on a nation of Americans who are powerless in the face of corporate Overreach and far-right extremists to do something when you're the one who's supposed to act I mean Biden just about seven days ago signed legislation Expanding security for Supreme Court justices. So I mean if we want to protest in front of their homes Which would actually get their attention then I guess that's frowned upon now Hence the need for more security because they can't trust the peasants to be civil So I mean what do you want us to do? Do you want us to protest? Do you want us? What exactly is the takeaway, Biden?  You are the president of the United States if you truly cared Then nominate a new Supreme Court justice to the court There is no constitutional restriction on the number of justices and since Republicans packed the Supreme Court already You can argue that you're simply unpacking it balance the court nominate someone He has a couple of months left and I guarantee you This isn't even a possibility that he's entertaining now. Let's get to some responses here Ellie Mistal says people need to understand that one of the only things keeping conservatives in line 20 years ago Was the concern of political revolt if their decisions were too extreme now? They don't fear that at all. They think the opposition is too weak They're going to keep doing this and he's absolutely correct Jason Campbell writes apparently our right to shop go to school attend church and live our lives in Safety is less important than overgrown children pretending to be a John Wayne character Kate Smith writes Sorry to be controversial, but maybe everyone frantically refreshing a website to figure out what rights they still have Isn't the democracy we think it is exactly I mean we are losing multiple civil rights and civil liberties every single week at this point This is unsustainable people are losing faith in the Supreme Court in Democracy our institutions are being Delegitimized and this much instability this much extremism within our government is going to lead to the downfall of this regime and For those of you who are excited about that hoping something better will emerge How close do you think we are to a socialist regime compared to a fascist? Authoritarian dictatorship we're closer to that I'd argue then socialism So things are just going to continue to deteriorate and we will have feckless leaders who are supposed to be the opposition Just sitting by and saying man. I wish somebody could do something After they just got elected two years ago. It's just it's ridiculous so Yeah, I don't I don't know how to really process this information You know it kind of just rolls off my shoulders because we're all accustomed at this point to losing rights on a weekly basis But really don't let them dupe you into believing that this is an expansion of rights Because an expansion of gun rights that might be technically what's happening here But this is curtailing the rights of American citizens who want to be safe and secure in their fucking countries But because gun anarchy is what the extremists want Well, that's what they're giving us.


Inside the last 18 minutes of the Sports Max on for this Wednesday football is where we turn to a head of Jamaica's upcoming Nations League battles with Honduras on Friday and Haiti on Tuesday members of the JFF led by General Secretary Dennis Chung gave an update on the organization's departmental improvements over the past year. These improvements ranged from financial human resource and general program development. But it is the latter which would be the most intriguing to fans of the sport. Assistant manager John Wall who is in charge of player development lamented the need for change in how players are developed island wide. We want to expand our development more onto the ground trying to reach players on an everyday basis as much as we can. Because as far as I concern, every day that ends with a why you can train and every month of the year you can train and compete. Whereas in Jamaica, I'm not going to wrestle the elephant at all. The school system is here and it's going to be here. School boy, school girl. But what happens to the 12 year old who might be a little bit late developed? And she's a girl. Is she supposed to play against 19 year olds? I think we have to look ourselves deep into reflection mirror. What are we doing with the kids? Well, also spoke on the Federation thinking beyond the next World Cup cycle. My concern is more not to qualify for the World Cup. My concern is how are we going to look at 2027? How are we going to look now that the girls did such a great World Cup? I'm always thinking ahead and looking at the future. That's my and playing that smart part is really important. Whatever we do with what we have, we need to maximize it. Because the talent is one thing. The work is a complete different thing. Yeah, positive signs from the JFF. Will the positivity spread onto the pitch? I guess that's the question that would ask Chapel. Yeah, listen, it's important what John Wall is speaking about because development for the future of the football program, not just in Jamaica, but right across the region is important. And so he makes a very important point. It is interesting that he spoke about schoolboy football and the fact that schoolboy football or schoolgirls football, for that matter, is very much here and is really in many ways the developmental platform for many of our youth players. You asked the question at the top of the showlines whether that should actually be the case. In my opinion, systems will differ. And you have to find the system that works best for you. I think in the Caribbean context, definitely in the Jamaican context, the schoolboy football system is important. If you look at track and field, schools track and field has been an important aspect of the development of that sport and the quality that comes through. And it is effective. So my thought process is that we need to figure out the reasons why that is the case and figure out how we make the schoolboy football product effective in also turning out high quality football talent as well. So I think the point Wall was making, though, is that as far as the football is concerned, it doesn't have the age group strata in the same way that the track and field has, because you have class four, class three, class two and class one for girls. And in the boys class three, two and one. And he was saying a 12 year old in football doesn't have this strata of going through the different developmental stages as that person would have if he or she were a track and field athlete. But not so much because you have you 14 football, you have you 16 football.  And I know, but I guess I guess I guess he referenced a girl. Yes, in making it. Well, the girl does not have that right. The girls do not have that. So the girls have one age football program is completely underdeveloped. Yes. And nowhere compares with the boys. True. But part of the reason for that is because when the schoolgirls competition started, you just did not have the numbers to have them across age groups. And so you started with essentially one age group. But I think if the numbers grow, then the program in terms of the competition can also grow. Yes. One of the other things was said, and I heard that narrative from Hal Grimson, the head coach of the reggae boys, when he first arrived for his first press conference. And it was a very, very important point. What happens after the World Cup cycle? Because we've seen in the case of the Jamaica reggae boys qualifying for France in 98 and Trinidad and Tobago qualifying for the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany. Both football structures haven't really benefited from the highs that they achieved in 98 and 2006. And it speaks to an infrastructural problem or deficiency where, you know, administrators focus on trying to qualify for World Cups without developing the base. So I think John Wall touched on a serious issue there that has to be tackled by not only the JFF, but all football federations in the region. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I agree totally, Lance. Break time. Back with more after this on the zone.
