Rush Hour with James Golden,

0:02

entertaining and informative on

0:04

the Red Apple Podcast Network.

0:07

Welcome, my friends, to the It's

0:09

Monday again edition of Bows in

0:11

the Middle East Rush Hour. If

0:14

you would like to be part

0:16

of the program this afternoon, 800 -848

0:19

-9222 is how you reach us, 800

0:23

-848 -9222.

0:29

And of course,

0:31

as with any

0:33

day, lots

0:35

going on. We

0:38

begin this

0:40

week with

0:42

the 100th day. It's called the

0:44

100th day week. This is

0:46

the week where the 100th day

0:48

of the Donald Trump 47 administration

0:51

happens.

0:54

That will come. Day

0:57

after tomorrow, I believe, is the 100th day, but

1:00

already we are

1:02

seeing action and more

1:04

action, especially on

1:06

the immigration front. Cut

1:09

one, Carlos. Let us

1:11

start with Caroline Levitt. Donald

1:14

Trump's, of course, amazing

1:16

press secretary and

1:19

she speaks about what will

1:21

be happening during this 100

1:23

day. Today,

1:25

we kick off 100 -day week with

1:28

a focus on the president's historic effort

1:30

to secure our southern border. Later

1:32

this afternoon, President Trump will sign

1:34

an executive order on law and order

1:37

in another executive order on sanctuary

1:39

cities. The first EO will

1:41

strengthen and unleash America's law

1:43

enforcement to pursue criminals and protect

1:45

innocent citizens. The second

1:47

EO is centered around protecting American

1:49

communities from criminal aliens, and it

1:51

will direct the Attorney General and

1:53

Secretary of Homeland Security to publish

1:55

a list of state and local

1:58

jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement

2:00

of federal immigration laws. After

2:02

these are signed, the president

2:04

will have signed more than 140

2:06

executive orders already, rapidly approaching

2:08

the total number signed by the

2:10

Biden administration over the course

2:12

of four years in office. Now,

2:16

what that means

2:18

just identifying and publishing

2:20

the list isn't everything

2:22

that takes place. The

2:25

cities and states who are

2:28

on that list that

2:30

Caroline Levitt referred to could

2:32

face a cutoff in federal

2:34

funding, possible

2:36

criminal and civil

2:38

lawsuits, If they

2:40

refuse to change their

2:42

ways, if they still

2:44

insist on remaining quote

2:47

unquote sanctuary cities, it's

2:49

quite simple. Ms.

2:51

Levitt said, obey the law,

2:53

respect the law, don't obstruct

2:55

federal immigration officials and law

2:57

enforcement officials when they are

2:59

simply trying to remove public

3:01

safety threats from our nation's

3:03

communities. We

3:05

will have a little bit more on that. A

3:08

little bit later, but there

3:10

have been two things that took

3:12

place over the weekend. The

3:15

headline in the

3:17

Daily Mail earlier this

3:19

afternoon. Exclusive.

3:22

Exclusive. Breaking.

3:25

Exclusive. Migrant

3:27

scene with Ice

3:29

Barbies. Kristi Noem's Gucci

3:31

bag. an American Express

3:34

after snatching purse from DC

3:36

restaurant, an illegal immigrant. This

3:39

is just so ironic, isn't

3:42

it? An illegal immigrant

3:44

has been charged with the

3:46

robbery that took place of

3:48

the woman that they now call Ice Barbie, DHS

3:52

Secretary Christine Ohm. He

3:55

immediately, apparently after robbing the

3:57

bag, used her credit

3:59

cards, for a quote

4:01

-unquote boozy night in

4:03

DC. Mario Bustamante

4:05

4:08

this week after robbing

4:10

Noam at the Capitol Burger

4:12

restaurant downtown DC, took

4:14

over three grand in cash.

4:17

Her Gucci bag

4:19

also took off with her

4:21

makeup bag, driver's license, passport,

4:23

medication, apartment keys, DHS, access

4:26

bag, and some blank

4:28

checks. in

4:31

new documents obtained

4:33

by DailyMail .com. It

4:35

is claimed that Bustamante Gleave has

4:37

then immediately went to sit at

4:39

a nearby bar in the end.

4:43

And Yolo, a restaurante

4:45

Italian restaurant, where he

4:47

stayed until midnight. He

4:49

spent about $205 .87 in

4:51

the bar, drinking

4:54

apparently, fell asleep at an outdoor

4:56

table at the restaurant until

4:58

7 .30 the next morning. Then

5:00

he called police officers to say

5:02

his bag containing a Chilean

5:04

passport and $1 ,000 in cash

5:06

had been stolen from him. This

5:09

guy has been in the United

5:12

States illegally for years, believed

5:15

to be part of a

5:17

wider robbery organization that

5:19

terrorizes East Coast, he's Chilean.

5:23

He was one of

5:25

London's most prolific

5:27

robbers, had a career

5:29

of robbery overseas in

5:31

the UK. jail

5:34

there for three years

5:36

after stealing over twenty seven

5:38

thousand dollars close to

5:40

twenty eight grand worth of

5:42

telephones wallets and computers

5:44

in just five months no

5:46

fixed address jobless

5:48

father of three

5:50

yet he makes it over here

5:52

somehow through our borders with

5:54

all of that and steals

5:57

the

6:01

Purse of the

6:03

DHS Secretary and

6:07

illegal immigrant while he

6:09

has been caught And now

6:12

this one when I when I

6:14

got this next update I immediately

6:16

thought of the countess of conspiracy

6:18

because For while we wondered whether

6:20

we would get to the truth

6:22

of this or whether there was a

6:25

darker conspiracy at work It

6:28

turns out it wasn't a

6:30

dark conspiracy. We

6:33

now have

6:35

the identities of

6:37

both involved. It

6:42

was April 9th, my friends,

6:44

on this very show

6:46

that we broke the news

6:48

to many of you

6:50

of what had taken

6:52

place on a New York

6:54

City R train. Then

7:01

we did not know

7:03

the man, the persons,

7:05

the victim. We

7:07

do now. 37

7:11

years old, Hodelhay

7:15

Gonzalez, smoked

7:19

a cigarette on the train. After

7:23

lighting up, smoking the

7:25

cigarette on the train, the

7:27

R train, Mr.

7:31

Gonzalez

7:33

died. That

7:37

would have been the end of the story,

7:39

except, what

7:43

a hey Gonzalez. While

7:48

exiting the body. Story

7:54

did not end. That's

7:57

because another gentleman

7:59

who at the time

8:01

was unknown and up

8:04

until now has

8:06

been unknown, decided that

8:08

he wanted

8:10

Mr. Gonzalez dead

8:14

or alive. Dead,

8:18

it didn't matter. Now

8:22

we know his name, Felix

8:24

Rojas. Discovering

8:30

the dead body

8:33

of Jorge Gonzalez, Mr.

8:38

Rojas, 44 years

8:40

old of Bensonhurst, decided

8:44

that

8:47

he would rob

8:49

Mr. Gonzalez in more than

8:51

one way. He

8:54

robbed him of

8:56

what material possessions

8:58

he could find

9:01

and then Mr.

9:03

Jorge Gonzalez

9:06

orally

9:09

and annually

9:12

raped the

9:14

body

9:17

of the expired

9:19

Jorge Gonzalez. A

9:25

short time later, after he

9:27

had been taken, abused,

9:31

used, in

9:33

ways that many of us just

9:35

cannot believe would happen, Mr.

9:41

Gonzalez was robbed a

9:43

second time. Someone

9:45

else came. A

9:52

woman. and

9:54

try to rob him

9:56

of what was left. And

9:59

it wasn't much. The

10:02

case was

10:05

broken

10:08

after the son

10:10

of Felix Rojas

10:12

recognized his father

10:14

in security footage.

10:17

He couldn't believe that his

10:19

daddy He

10:23

could not believe that

10:25

his daddy would

10:27

abuse the departed

10:29

Jorge

10:31

Gonzalez in

10:33

such

10:35

vile ways

10:37

But It

10:44

turned out

10:46

it was indeed his daddy Now

10:53

Felix Rojas has

10:55

been taken

10:57

into custody is

10:59

charged with

11:01

rape Had no

11:03

previous

11:05

criminal history

11:08

Such a

11:10

tragic story, but

11:12

we are thankful to

11:14

know that this

11:16

was not part of

11:19

some broad Conspiracy It

11:23

was happenstance as

11:26

it were. Mr.

11:30

Rojas of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn is

11:33

expected to be arraigned

11:35

today in

11:37

criminal court

11:40

after being

11:42

accused of

11:44

orally and

11:46

behind sex

11:48

with

11:50

the corpse. of

James Golden, entertaining and

12:49

informative on the Red Apple

12:52

podcast network. I

12:54

really am like I'm not gonna

12:56

lie to you. I had no

12:58

intense tensions on paying my student

13:00

loans back. Like I really have

13:02

not. Like my model was they

13:04

gonna get it back in blood,

13:06

but apparently they're trying to get

13:08

it back in blood. So, um, yeah.

13:12

I'm about to just go for broke, pack

13:14

a bag, take my dog, and get the

13:16

f*** out of the United States to see

13:18

what happens. Like, literally, what's the worst

13:20

that could happen? At this point.

13:25

Really? Really?

13:28

Um, it counts as a conspiracy.

13:31

Very disappointed in my update. Look,

13:33

I wanted to make sure that

13:35

everybody knew that this wasn't some

13:37

alien invasion. This

13:40

was just... of your

13:42

regular pervert invasions

13:45

not an alien invasion

13:47

and I do a lot

13:49

of research finding stories to

13:51

keep every everybody. She's accused

13:53

me of being sick You

13:55

can't just a conspiracy. I need

13:57

serious help for what I

13:59

I look at things in the news

14:01

I scour the news day and

14:03

night to find things to report what's

14:05

going on. She says stories not

14:07

worth it So

14:10

unappreciative And

14:12

she told me I give you better stories

14:15

you and I use some of the

14:17

stories Once in a while that the countess

14:19

of conspiracy sends me to because there

14:21

are things that like you know

14:23

anyway Just keeping

14:25

you informed Let us

14:28

go very quickly to

14:30

cut number two Eugene

14:32

Daniels the big White

14:34

House event the correspondence dinner

14:36

was this weekend Wouldn't

14:38

know it didn't get that much

14:40

coverage like it usually does

14:42

because Trump wasn't there President wasn't

14:44

there because pretty much the

14:46

White House Correspondence Association is being

14:49

reduced to a nothing organization

14:51

But here's the head of it

14:53

Eugene Daniels and this is

14:55

one of the during his speech weird

14:57

journalists are a lot of things We

14:59

are competitive and pushy. We

15:01

are impatient and sometimes we

15:03

think we know everything But we're

15:05

also human We miss

15:07

our families and significant life moments

15:09

in service to this job. We care

15:12

deeply about accuracy and take seriously

15:14

every responsibility of being stewards of

15:16

the trust. What a joke. What

15:19

we are not is the opposition. What

15:22

we are not is the enemy of the people

15:24

and what we are not is the enemy of

15:26

the state. Yeah,

15:33

you can clap with your hands all you

15:35

want to. and but guess

15:37

what in many ways you

15:39

have proven to be the

15:41

enemy of the people because you

15:43

only cover one side you're

15:45

not interested and i'm speaking

15:47

of the mainstream legacy media

15:49

especially the white house press

15:52

corps of that ilk from

15:54

the mainstream press

15:56

negative negative negative

15:59

tds all the

16:01

time One of the

16:03

reasons why the American

16:05

people's faith in the

16:07

media institutions is so low at

16:09

the moment is because of the track

16:11

record of those people that he is

16:13

lauding as not being the enemy of

16:16

the people the people of the United

16:18

States at least half of them Do

16:20

not see it that way coming back shortly. Don't

16:22

go away The

16:25

rush hour with James Golden,

16:27

entertaining and informative. On

16:29

the Red Apple Podcast Network.

16:33

Has put up about 100 posters of

16:35

what they say are unauthorized immigrants who

16:37

have been arrested for violent crimes. You

16:39

can see them there. They put them

16:41

up on the driveway of the White

16:43

House. If you look here, that's the

16:45

West Wing just at the forefront, the

16:47

executive mansion itself to the left. But

16:50

what's particularly noteworthy about this

16:52

location, is it is right

16:54

directly behind the positions where TV

16:56

correspondents do their hits from the

16:58

White House lawn. So therefore, no

17:00

matter what network you're on, that

17:03

includes MSNBC, if

17:05

you're doing a hit from the White House

17:07

right now, those pictures will be behind you.

17:09

The White House doing a briefing in about

17:11

a half hour about what they're doing here.

17:15

Another reason, my friends, to

17:19

love the Trump administration. James

17:22

Golden is narrowly with you

17:25

here elections in Canada

17:27

today my

17:29

friends So far

17:32

the pre -election

17:34

surveys Are showing

17:36

that Prime

17:38

Minister Mark

17:40

Kearney Has a

17:42

slight advantage over the

17:44

conservative leader Pierre

17:47

Poivier Who used to

17:49

be up 25 points before the

17:51

tariffs Are

17:53

you sure it's the Tariffs and not the way he choose

17:55

an apple? It's

17:59

the Tariffs, plus there were

18:01

some other things beside the Tariffs. For

18:04

instance, and this was

18:06

unreported. Thank

18:09

you, that's Peter the Tariff of

18:11

Chicago and then his own

18:13

brilliant career. This

18:16

was not reported widely in the

18:18

United States. You know, one of

18:20

the things Polyeth has been railing

18:22

about is immigration, immigration, immigration, illegal

18:25

immigration. And you

18:27

would think that if there

18:29

was some story concerning immigration, it

18:31

would be widely reported everywhere.

18:33

It wasn't. Down here it

18:35

was up there down here. They only

18:37

say Donald Trump Donald Trump Donald Trump

18:40

is the reason that he's not a

18:42

leader Donald Trump the reason that he

18:44

lost his it there was a story

18:46

that and I wouldn't have known about

18:48

it except for my Canadian journalist friend

18:50

They'd be Pellshade who said to

18:52

me have you seen the story

18:54

on pulling of us? No,

18:56

what story the story that despite

18:59

all this talk about immigration

19:01

He and his family bit

19:05

over backwards to help

19:07

an illegal immigrant member.

19:09

It was the family

19:12

and they

19:14

pretty much sheltered

19:16

an illegal immigrant. The

19:18

wife, that's the long and short of

19:20

the story. I'll have to dig out

19:22

the facts. But that's the way the

19:24

story at least was perceived. Total

19:27

hypocrisy on

19:30

police. It was hard to believe. Now

19:32

that story made a lot of

19:34

waves up north It got

19:36

nothing in the media here because

19:39

the media here is all

19:41

about Donald Trump Donald Trump is

19:43

the reason for all ills

19:45

for the people that have TDS

19:47

in our now in fact,

19:49

let's continue with this

19:52

dinner that used to

19:54

be a big deal and now it

19:56

is becoming highly irrelevant, which

19:58

is the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.

20:01

This is Alex Thompson, Cut

20:03

3, who won an

20:05

award. Listen to

20:07

this. President Biden's decline

20:09

and its cover -up

20:11

by the people around him is

20:14

a reminder that every White House,

20:16

regardless of party, is

20:18

capable of deception. But

20:22

being truth -tellers also means telling the

20:24

truth about ourselves. We,

20:27

myself included, missed

20:30

a lot of this story. And

20:32

some people trust us less because of it. We

20:36

bear some responsibility

20:38

for faith in the

20:40

media being at such lows. Yay,

20:47

yes, let's self -fragulate. Let's

20:49

self -flagellate for a moment.

20:51

I say this because acknowledging

20:53

errors builds trust. Right.

20:58

Okay, so Caroline Leverett at the

21:00

press conference, the White House press,

21:02

was asked about that, cut for,

21:05

and this is how she responded. Alex

21:07

Thompson said at the White House Correspondent's Center, and

21:09

I'm going to read his quote, We

21:19

myself included missed a lot of this

21:21

story and some people trust us less because

21:23

of it. Can you comment on those

21:25

remarks and whether you agree with that assessment?

21:28

I do agree with that assessment from

21:30

Alex Thompson who I understand won an award

21:32

for writing a story. months

21:34

and perhaps years after the American

21:36

people already knew that story to be

21:38

true. Millions of Americans watched our

21:40

mentally incompetent president struggle with his day

21:42

-to -day duties of this office. We watched

21:44

our country be ran into the ground

21:47

as a result. And nobody

21:49

in the media wanted to write

21:51

about that, talk about it. There

21:53

were many reporters, I will say,

21:55

right -leaning reporters who did talk

21:57

about that, who didn't get awards,

21:59

didn't get coverage. In fact, they were

22:01

lambasted for their coverage. I remember

22:03

being on President Trump's campaign, talking

22:05

about Joe Biden's clear mental incompetence

22:07

and being accused by people in

22:09

this room of manufacturing deep fake

22:11

videos, trying to persuade the public

22:13

into not believing what they saw

22:15

with their own eyes for many

22:18

years. And I think it's about

22:20

time the legacy media finally admits

22:22

that was one of the greatest

22:24

coverups and scandals that ever took

22:26

place in American history. And certainly

22:28

it did contribute to the decline

22:30

in the trust that Americans have

22:32

for the legacy media. Which,

22:34

by the way, is why we've made many changes to

22:36

this briefing room in this White House. It's long overdue.

22:39

And it doesn't end there. Let's go

22:41

to cut six very quickly. Marco Rubio

22:44

was on Meet the Depressed with that

22:46

woman. Kristen Walker and

22:48

listen just the way that she

22:50

frames the story. And I love

22:52

the way that Marco Rubio swats

22:54

it down. Check this out. Let's

22:56

talk now about some new reporting that

22:58

came in overnight. I want to

23:00

just go through it for you and

23:02

for our audience. Three U

23:05

.S. citizen children have been deported

23:07

with their mothers. Now this

23:09

is according to the Washington Post.

23:11

The family's lawyer says one

23:13

of them is a four -year -old

23:15

with stage four cancer. are

23:17

deported without medication or ability to

23:19

contact doctors. The family's lawyers

23:21

are also saying their clients were

23:23

denied communication with family and

23:26

legal representatives before being deported. And

23:28

it's raising concerns about the issue

23:30

of due process that it's

23:32

being violated. So let me ask

23:34

you, is everyone

23:36

on US soil citizens

23:38

and non -citizens entitled to

23:40

due process? Yes,

23:43

of course, but let me tell you

23:45

it looks an immigration standing the laws are

23:47

very specific if you're in this country unlawfully

23:49

You have no right to be here and

23:51

you must be removed. That's what the law

23:53

says somehow over the last 20 years

23:55

We've completely lost this notion that somehow want

23:58

or completely adopted this idea that yes We have

24:00

immigration laws, but once you come into our

24:02

country illegally it triggers all kinds of rights

24:04

that can keep you here indefinitely That's why

24:06

we were being flooded at the border and

24:08

we've ended that and that's why you don't

24:10

you see a historically low number of people not

24:12

just trying to cross our border trying to

24:14

cross the border in the Panama all the

24:16

way down in the Darien Gap I mean

24:18

it's been a huge help for those countries

24:20

as well on the headline that's a misleading

24:22

headline okay three US citizens ages four seven

24:24

and two were not deported their mothers who

24:26

are legally in this country were deported the

24:28

children went with their mothers there those children are

24:30

US citizens they can come back into the

24:32

United States if there's their father or someone

24:34

here who wants to assume them but ultimately

24:36

who was deported was their mother whose their

24:39

mothers who were here illegally the children just

24:41

went with their others. But it

24:43

wasn't like you guys make it sound like ICE agents

24:45

kick down the door and grab the two -year -old and threw

24:47

him on an airplane. That's misleading. That's

24:49

just not true. Just to be clear, because I do

24:51

want to get to the overhaul at the State Department,

24:54

is it the U .S. policy to

24:56

deport children, even U .S. citizens,

24:58

with their families? And I hear

25:00

what you're saying without due process,

25:02

just to be very clear there. No,

25:06

no, no, no, no. Again, if someone's in

25:08

this country unlawfully, illegally, that person gets deported.

25:10

If that person is with a two -year -old

25:12

child or has a two -year -old child and

25:14

says, I want to take my child with

25:16

you, with me, you have two choices. You

25:19

can say, yes, of course you can take

25:21

your child, whether they're a citizen or not,

25:23

because it's your child. Or you can say,

25:25

yes, you can go, but your child must

25:27

stay behind. And then your headlines would read,

25:29

US holding hostage, two -year -old, four -year -old, seven -year

25:31

-old, while mother deported. This

25:34

and this is the duplicitous way these

25:36

people stand up and they cheer

25:38

themselves on they self -flatter it Oh,

25:40

yeah, we didn't report on Biden, but

25:42

but we're good. We're good. We're

25:44

not enemies of the people. We're not

25:46

enemies of yes, you are your reporting

25:48

is totally TDS driven

25:51

including this story and she

25:53

wanted to talk with

25:55

him about the the Changes

25:58

over at the State Department the State

26:01

Department's being being Managed.

26:04

That's what's happening. And

26:06

yes, some people are out

26:08

of work. In fact, we have

26:10

an out -of -work State Department

26:12

employee. We have audio from

26:14

one of the women. It's cut

26:16

12. Carlos, who says she lost her

26:19

job because of what's going on,

26:21

the State Department is reorganizing. They're reorganizing

26:23

under Rubio. And

26:25

listen to this woman. And just let

26:27

me ask you a question. Do you think

26:29

that this is... Listen,

26:32

just listen. So this week I lost my

26:34

dream job at the U .S. State Department. I

26:36

worked in the war crimes office,

26:38

but Trump and Rubio decided to

26:41

eliminate that office, not to mention

26:43

the entire undersecretariat that deals with

26:45

human rights and democracy and labor.

26:48

So I'm out of the job. And

26:50

the only silver lining there is that

26:52

I get my voice back because I'm no

26:54

longer working for this administration, which is

26:57

hell bent on bringing us into fascism. So.

27:00

Branded a TikTok, just wanted to introduce

27:02

myself and say hi. I have

27:04

a PhD from Oxford University

27:06

where I focused on how

27:08

countries recover from genocide and

27:10

how victims get justice. That's

27:13

what I was trying to do as a

27:15

senior policy advisor in the Office of Global

27:17

Criminal Justice, which no longer exists at the

27:19

US State Department. So I'm here

27:21

and I'm looking for ways to continue the good

27:23

fight. So I

27:25

go straight to the department. I

27:27

worked in human rights

27:30

and criminal justice. And

27:32

I'm glad because now I can really speak

27:34

because I'm not a member of the administration.

27:37

And Trump and Marco Rubio took

27:39

away my job. And a

27:41

bunch of fascists. They're leading the country

27:44

into fascists. And so

27:46

they should have kept you

27:48

on so that you could

27:50

silently effect,

27:53

and this is, I am

27:55

so glad they are cleaning

27:57

out this liberalism that has

27:59

infested the State Department for

28:01

decades. The

28:04

State Department is supposed to

28:06

be about America's interest,

28:08

not some ideological road trip

28:10

for liberals. I got

28:12

my PhD from Oxford University

28:14

and and and Donald

28:17

Trump and Michael would be

28:19

all taking this dick department into

28:21

into the taking department into

28:23

fascism. Bye

28:26

bye, honey. This

28:28

happens. I don't celebrate people losing their

28:30

jobs, and I'm not celebrating this. But

28:34

clearly she has an agenda.

Golden, A .K .A. Most Nervy

30:23

Presents, Rapid Phones. Let's head

30:25

to the telephones and catch up with

30:27

Joan in Manhattan. Joan, how are you?

30:29

Thank you for waiting. Oh,

30:33

hi. Excuse me. Bo, I

30:35

wanted to ask you, what do

30:37

you know about this meeting

30:39

that the president had with the

30:41

heads of big box stores

30:43

like Walmart and Target? about the

30:45

tariffs. Apparently they're very unhappy

30:47

with the tariffs or tell me

30:49

they must be losing money. Do

30:51

you know anything about that? Well,

30:53

I don't know the inner workings

30:56

of the meaning. But yes

30:58

big box stores are unhappy because

31:00

of what is being forecast

31:02

especially by the media I saw

31:04

one of the stories today

31:06

that Christmas supplies Christmas 2025 is

31:08

going to be miserable because

31:10

they import the stuff they

31:12

need in from China and if you know

31:14

anything about the retail business You don't

31:16

all this stuff doesn't happen at the last

31:18

minute These things start arriving.

31:21

They're stored. They're ready. They're shipped

31:23

in and so there are concerns

31:25

obviously with higher prices and what

31:27

it's going to do to the

31:29

bottom line of Retailers what is

31:31

missing from this story is what

31:33

it's going to do for the economies

31:35

And so I think we'll all

31:37

learn a little bit more about

31:39

that meeting soon. Let's see. Do

31:41

we have time for a quick one? Oh

31:45

goodness George,

31:48

you've got Rockland County, 20 seconds. You gotta

31:50

make a count. Okay, it's

31:52

very simple, okay? People are not entitled

31:54

to the job. It's not a job for

31:56

life. People are supposed to it. That's

31:58

what time we have. Thank you. May God

32:00

bless, protect protect each and every single one of

32:02

you, your family, your loved ones. God willing,

32:05

we are back tomorrow for the Tuesday edition of
