| 0:00.0 | Holly and Cheneyce are prepping for a big weekend away and it needs to go exactly to plan |
| 0:05.5 | so they need to know exactly what they get in, like the choice of over 800 hotels. |
| 0:09.9 | Yes! Right in the centre! |
| 0:12.1 | So there are only moments away from where they want to be, with a super comfy bed waiting |
| 0:16.8 | for them at the end of the night. And with checkout by 12pm they can even hit snooze. |
| 0:22.6 | Enjoy the same feeling whatever the trip. Premier in, rest easy. Only available to book at |

| 0:35.0 | This is CVSI in the world. I'm John Bachelors. Violence from firearms is constant in the |

| 1:30.7 | detected and analyzed. And so you can put an infinite number of them on bullets. And the idea |
| 1:38.4 | would be that you would require that you'd license to sale of ammunition. And each box of ammunition |
| 1:45.9 | you'd have to preserve whatever the identification was on it. You'd have to connect it to the person |
| 1:51.6 | who bought it. I'm not suggesting there would be a reduction in the total sale of ammunition. |
| 1:57.8 | It would just be that all firearms ammunition, you know, we're not talking about artillery shells |
| 2:04.4 | here and I think that all firearms ammunition would be, would be traceable because you know, |
| 2:10.0 | you know, when it was used, when the bullet was recovered, you could see the marking on it and |
