Speaker 3: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,600
podcast network.

14
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:39,719
Speaker 4: Is really in kind of just not even moving all right.

15
00:00:39,759 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 5: We've got it unchanged, unchanged as anticipated. So this is

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,679
not the futteral reserve here bowing to the pressure the

17
00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:50,600
President saying he's been too late, it's time to lower rates,

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,200
he's decided not to, and Kevin hasse just said that

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,280
the economic indicators all point to the need to lower rates.

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,399
Speaker 4: But that is not what is happening.

21
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 5: So the market reaction basically is quiet because this was

22
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:06,439
what was anticipated, right, But.

23
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 4: It's going up a little bit, which is kind of surprising.

24
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: It's kind of ticking up I mean the rates are

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,840
as Kevin Hasset said, the rates do need by a

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,120
lot of accounts come down. But the Fed bord I mean,

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,319
you're talking about twelve people and they decided no.

28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,079
Speaker 2: Again a three percent of.

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 6: Three percent better than expected. That would be the highest

30
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,560
level since the third quarter of twenty four, when it

31
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:33,640
was up three point one percent. On the consumption side,

32
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:37,040
up one point four, very close to estimates. Up one

33
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:39,680
point four would be the best since the last quarter

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,799
of twenty four.

35
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the economy front and center today.

36
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,560
This is James Golden Both nearly Welcome to the rush hour,

37
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,920
the fastest hour in American media if you look at

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,719
the headlines. Hard to say if you're not in double take. Okay,

39
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:03,359
if I said to you US economy slowed in the

40
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:07,680
first half half of twenty twenty five as tariff scrambled data,

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,879
you might think would you think that the Let me

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,400
ask you this, Jonas US economy slowed in first half

43
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:19,199
of twenty twenty five, what does that mean to you?

44
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,039
The US economy slowed in the first half of twenty

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,199
twenty five, that basically has started losing momentum, is not

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,919
doing well. Mhm. Okay, right, that's what you're supposed to

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,479
get from the headline. Now, the same newsday, same story.

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,159
Let me give you that first headline was from the

49
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,919
New York Times, US economy slowed in first half of

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,879
twenty twenty five as tariff scrambled data. Now let me

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,000
give you a contrasting headline from the Wall Street Journal,

52
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:59,400
US economy rebounds in second quarter. What does that headline

53
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:01,919
say to you? Rebounds?

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,439
Speaker 1: Basically, it started off slow but now is doing well,

55
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:07,639
like it's increasingly better.

56
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:10,159
Speaker 2: M m. Now do you believe they're talking about the

57
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:13,120
same thing? One would lead walking You would walk away

58
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,680
with the impression, Oh no, the economy's in the tank.

59
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:18,919
The economy slowed in the first half of twenty twenty five.

60
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:23,039
Oh those damn tariffs. Oh no, oh no. The second

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,960
headline from Wall Street Journal, US economy rebounds in the

62
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,879
second quarter. GDP grew, but signs of weakness emerge in

63
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,759
first half of the year. First half of the year.

64
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,080
So the New York Times looked at the whole year,

65
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,000
They went through all that commotion with the tariffs and

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,719
put it in a conclusion that the US economy slowed.

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,439
Wall Street Journal economy rebounds in the second quarter. We're

68
00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:50,039
in the second quarter. These are quarterly numbers, and the

69
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:54,319
economy has ticked up in the second quarter of this year.

70
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:59,240
And that's the takeaway. Yeah, not what the New York

71
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,599
Times would And so you will have New York Times

72
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:04,120
people that only read The New York Times today walking

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,360
around telling each other, see, we knew it a Trump,

74
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,840
We knew the economy slowing down, the economy slow. They

75
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:18,519
do this on purpose to Offusekate. What is true, and

76
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:22,000
what is true is that the US economy is growing again,

77
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:28,000
helped by trade swings and American consumers who keep spending.

78
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:32,279
There are also signs of caution. The Commerce Department says

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,800
US Gross Department domestic product, the value of all goods

80
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:41,160
conservative produced across the economy, rows at a seasonally and

81
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,920
inflation adjusted three percent annual rait in the second quarter.

82
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,600
That's up from zero point five contraction in the first quarter.

83
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,120
So this is a remarkable rebound in just one quarter.

84
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,199
And that rebound, by the way, was caused emotional reaction

85
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,519
to when Donald Trump came in and started implementing the

86
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:12,199
tariff negotiations that are now taken route. Taken together, the

87
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,839
two quarters showed an economy that's growing, but more slowly.

88
00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:19,600
GDP grew an average annual rate of one point two

89
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,040
percent in the first six months of this year stepped down,

90
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:25,319
but that was because of the first quarter was so tumultuous.

91
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:29,759
These are big changes. This means to me the economy

92
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:33,759
is really and we haven't seen the impact of what

93
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,639
Trump is doing yet. The real impact of it is

94
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:41,240
just now. Princess Diana had said earlier she expects it

95
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,959
to be about a year. She follows these things very closely.

96
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:47,519
You see about a year and this economy is going

97
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,920
to be at boom level. And given all the announcement

98
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:54,759
that we have had regarding the tariffs and everything else,

99
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,160
I couldn't agree more.

100
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 7: Uh.

101
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: Let me see, all right, I believe you take now

102
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,759
from either Lady Benedict or Princess doing. I have to

103
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,639
click it open and see what this says. Here seems

104
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,439
to be some sort of domestic thing. Victim. Oh, that's

105
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:17,279
something different. That's the Kamala Harris story. Ladies and gentlemen,

106
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:21,839
Kamala Harris has decided she doesn't want to lose another

107
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,800
I'm sorry. Kamala Harris has decided Former Vice President of

108
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,160
the United States, the Campaign of Joy, the candidate of

109
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,959
Joy and Happiness and Exuberance, has decided that she will

110
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,959
not put her feet, or her hat or her face

111
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,920
in the campaign for the governor of California next year,

112
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,160
leaving open the possibility that she would mount mountain, or

113
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,480
that she would mount do We want to know who

114
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,079
Kamala Harris is, what that she would mount a third

115
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:06,120
run for the White House? She's going to mount possibly

116
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:14,920
mount it. Over the past six months, Miss Harris says,

117
00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:19,600
I spent time reflecting on this moment, and she sounds

118
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,399
burdened by the past. Over the past six she sounds

119
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,959
like she is burdened. Over the past six months, I

120
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,079
spent time reflecting on this moment in our nation's history

121
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,639
and the best way for me to continue fighting for

122
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,759
the American people and advancing the values and ideals I

123
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,120
hold dear. I wonder who wrote this in a statement

124
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:45,800
released by her office. I wonder if the office wrote it.

125
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:50,319
I have given serious thought to axing the people. She

126
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:52,680
didn't say that, she said asking, but I'm, you know,

127
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:56,839
trying to help her relate. I've given serious thought to

128
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,639
axing the people of California for the privilege to serve

129
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:02,639
as that governor or. I love this state, which we

130
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Democrats have turned into a Third World encampment. She didn't

131
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,360
say that. Let me stick to her script instead of

132
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:17,480
adding the truth to it. I have. I've given serious

133
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,360
thought to asking the people of California. Kate, No, I'm sorry,

134
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:26,160
I did it again. Stick to her script, Jane, stop

135
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,159
trying the ad lib through this. Stick to her script. Yeah,

136
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,799
I've given serious thought acting the people of California for

137
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:38,679
the privilege to service a governor or. I love this state,

138
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,759
the people in this promise, it is my home. But

139
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,320
after deep reflection, I have decided I will not run

140
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:56,000
for governor in this erection. In this election, She's gonna so.

141
00:08:56,039 --> 00:09:00,000
She never mentions Trump directly, even said our politics are government,

142
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,799
and our institutions have too often failed the American people

143
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:10,039
culminating in this moment of crises. For now, my leadership

144
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:14,399
and public service will not be in elected office. I

145
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:17,559
look forward to getting back out and listening to the

146
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,039
American people, hoping elect Democrats across the nation who will

147
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,200
fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead

148
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,600
about my own plans in the United States of America.

149
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:35,000
Power must lie No power must lie with the American people,

150
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,559
not anyway. And we the people must use our power

151
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,440
to fight for freedom, opportunity, fairness, and dignity for all.

152
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,919
I will remain in that fight, she says. But she

153
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,200
will remain in that fight, not running for governor of California.

154
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,759
Now there may be some insight that we had in this,

155
00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:57,759
you know, her political It's too bad some ways that

156
00:09:57,799 --> 00:10:00,360
you're so young, Jonas, because you'd know so of these

157
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,679
figures and I can't go through them all. But anyway,

158
00:10:02,919 --> 00:10:08,399
her mentor in California was downtown Willie Brown. Downtown Willie Brown,

159
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,320
this is way before you were born, was one of

160
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:15,240
the biggest black politicians in Mecca. Total total like you know,

161
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:18,080
coach to coach. Even though he was out there in La.

162
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,879
Out there in California, people knew who downtown Willie Brown was. Downtown. Well,

163
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,799
he ain't like the godfather, no, but downtown Willie Brown

164
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:35,960
was like the political godfather in California. In fact, Kamala

165
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,120
apparently was his girlfriend at one point. When I say mentor,

166
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:44,000
I mean mentor. She was a young thing. And you

167
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:46,639
know when she was young, just by the way she

168
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:53,480
didn't put it like this, you he took it downtown.

169
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,440
You had taken it downtown for a date. Put it like, yes,

170
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,960
that's a very good, very quicker on your feet. Yeah,

171
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:02,679
when she was those pictures are when she was young. Yeah,

172
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,200
you'd have taken her downtown too, Bro, I'm telling you,

173
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:08,559
and you'd have been like, ma, look at me, Ah,

174
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,679
I'm doing good. Yeah, I'm doing good, Ma, look at me.

175
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:18,399
You'd have taken a downtown right now. Now. Downtown Willie

176
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:26,440
Brown was is a political legend in California. Downtown Downtown

177
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,159
Willie Brown is her political godfather. In fact, there are

178
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,639
several uncomplimentary posts on social media about her relationship with

179
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:42,080
Downtown Willy Brown, which I, because I have classed, will

180
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,600
not stoop to getting into. But Downtown Willie Brown was

181
00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:53,279
interviewed last week or something and he was asked about

182
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,120
Kamala and this is what Downtown Willie Brown had to

183
00:11:58,159 --> 00:11:59,600
say to the interviewer.

184
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 8: I gave her the advice that when she was under

185
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:12,360
consideration one of the final five to be the person

186
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:17,919
that President Biden, then candidate Biden would take as his

187
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:22,399
running mate iris her, so that if he comes to

188
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,200
you a VP, tell them you want to be the

189
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:32,759
attorney general. Oops, because from the attorney generalship, you may

190
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,759
land where you I suspect the most talented, and that's

191
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:42,000
the Supreme Court, and you could easily end up being

192
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,039
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with your real talent.

193
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,919
I think she stopped speaking to me as a result

194
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,279
of that.

195
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:50,639
Speaker 2: May let me stop you there.

196
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 9: That's very interesting. So your observation knowing her over a

197
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,360
period of time is that her talent was to stay

198
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,240
in her lane as Attorney general potentially of the United States,

199
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:07,799
not as an executive or on the executive track.

200
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:08,639
Speaker 2: Correct.

201
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 8: Interesting now, and particularly where you are second tier. Yes,

202
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,960
the vice presidential job isn't good. You don't pass that

203
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,120
up if you're a politician, usually because it could lead

204
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,279
to your next step if that's where you're really hitted,

205
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,720
and that's where your talent seems to fit. I do

206
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:41,480
think people running for public office really are to fit

207
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:49,159
eventually where they are trying to land. And I really

208
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,519
do hope, frankly, that she comes to that of reality.

209
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,480
She may not want to run the governor of the

210
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,679
state of California. That may not be where she should

211
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,159
be going.

212
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,519
Speaker 2: Uh.

213
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be difficult for her to win.

214
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, goodness, folks, do you hear that? That was an

215
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,960
amazing put down. She should stand sucking tell she should

216
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,960
not get out of ha lane. She'd go with her

217
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:35,120
talent lies, and that's not elective, also not the executive exactly. That,

218
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:42,759
my friends, is just really amazing. I could break that down. Kamala,

219
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:46,000
don't run for president. You are not suited for it.

220
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,240
You should have never been vice president. That's not where

221
00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:53,559
your talent lies. You're second tier, you're not first tier.

222
00:14:53,799 --> 00:15:01,759
That's her mentor, that's the guy who's who's Oh, I

223
00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:03,000
can't go there.

226

Red Apple Podcast Network.

227
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: So today in Congress, my friends, the act passed through

228
00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:29,480
committee known as the Pelosi Act. It would it still

229
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,279
has to be voted on by the full House, but

230
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,679
it got out of committee. Eight to seven. Was the

231
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:36,879
vote this Donald Trump was asked about it. This is

232
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:37,840
what he said.

233
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:41,559
Speaker 10: I like it conceptually. And you know, Nancy Pelosi became

234
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,879
rich by having inside information. She made a fortune with

235
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,799
her husband, and I think that's disgraceful. So in that sense,

236
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,519
I'd like it, but I'd have to really see the

237
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,039
I you know, I study these things very carefully, and

238
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,720
this just happened, so I'll take a look at it.

239
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:01,240
But conceptually I like it. And what I do think

240
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,480
is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated because what she has

241
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:09,960
the highest return of anybody practically in the history of

242
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,159
Wall Street save a few. And how did that happen.

243
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:17,679
It happened by she knows exactly what's going to happen,

244
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,559
what's going to be announced, you by stock, and then

245
00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:22,840
the stock goes up after the announcements made, and she

246
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:24,879
hare to be investigated.

247
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,919
Speaker 2: Absolutely right now. We'll have more on this, but there

248
00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:32,919
are so many other competing stories today too. You know

249
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,159
that American Eagles story still it's just gaining steam. It's

250
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,440
not going away. That stuff is happening. We've got so

251
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,080
much going on in the world and in the news.

252
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,399
We'll cover as much as we can. James Golden, Slurly

to be here as we continue it. By the way,

256
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:05,559
the trade deals that is fascinating. News is still being

257
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,000
generated about that don't go away.

Speaker 2: James Goldan sternly, Okay, we have so much to do.

262
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,039
I mentioned the and you've already heard the a bit

263
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:33,039
about this Pelosi thing. It's still got a long way

264
00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:34,680
to go in Congress, so I don't want to spend

265
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,519
too much time on at the Pelosi Act, but let's

266
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:42,680
listen quickly cut three. Senator Josh Holly, talking about the

267
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Pelosi Act.

268
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:47,759
Speaker 4: Say that we have an opportunity here today to do

269
00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:50,559
something that the public has wanted us to do for decades,

270
00:17:50,599 --> 00:17:54,240
and that is to ban members of Congress from profiting

271
00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:57,319
on information that frankly, only members of Congress have in

272
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,599
the buying and selling of stock. Eighty six percent of

273
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,400
Americans say that members of Congress should not be able

274
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,720
to buy and sell shares of stock individual stock while

275
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:10,799
they are members of this body. And they are absolutely correct.

276
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,960
And the reason is, you can see it. There was

277
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:15,960
just another ethics referral in the House last week. We've

278
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,519
seen the former Speaker of the House make millions of

279
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:22,000
dollars in profits. We've seen members of both parties, I'm

280
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,759
sad to say, be investigated for their stock trades. And

281
00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:27,799
the reason for all of this is is that, quite frankly,

282
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:30,160
members of this body are privy to information that the

283
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,519
normal person just is not. Now is that insider trading.

284
00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:36,319
It is not under the laws. Sometimes people say, well,

285
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:37,960
we already have insider trading laws, we don't need a

286
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,079
stock band. Well, the information that members of Congress are

287
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:44,160
privy to is technically not covered by the insider trading laws.

288
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,319
But nobody really believes that the information that we get

289
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,319
isn't valuable.

290
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: It is quite valuable, exactly. So one of the things,

291
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,519
by the way, I think I'm mistakenly said, he clear

292
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:55,880
to House Committee, clear to Senate Committee eight on an

293
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,759
eight to seven vote. So anyway, it still has a

294
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:02,000
long time to go before the full Senate can vote

295
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,680
on it. We shall see where it goes. Yesterday after

296
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,440
the show, one of the funniest Spartacus had a meltdown.

297
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:17,559
Corey Spartagus Booker just had a full drama mode on

298
00:19:17,599 --> 00:19:20,599
the Senate floor. That's cut two. Let's just take a

299
00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:25,519
few listen for Spartagus. He was wound up, he was

300
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:29,000
off his Rocker yesterday, and this is what that sounded like.

301
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 11: The Democratic Party needs a wake up call.

302
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: Wig up Gold.

303
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:37,319
Speaker 11: I see your pole bending a knee to this president.

304
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,359
I'm hearing about the larger principles that does free speech

305
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,079
rights that you could take on any client.

306
00:19:43,279 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: Why are you bending the knee.

307
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 11: I see universities there should be bastions of free speech

308
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,119
bending at the knee to this president. I see businesses

309
00:19:54,599 --> 00:19:58,359
taking late night talk show hosts off the air because

310
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,799
they dare to a president. I see people who want

311
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,519
mergers suddenly they're gonna have to pay.

312
00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: Tribute to this president.

313
00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:11,839
Speaker 11: And one of the very people here elected to defend

314
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,000
the constitution of the United States saying, oh, well, today,

315
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,200
let's look the other way and pass some resources that

316
00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:21,240
won't go to Connecticut, that won't go to Illinois, that

317
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,559
won't go to New York, that will go to the states.

318
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: He wants we we we we we we we.

319
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 11: That is complicity with an authoritarian leader who is trashing

320
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,079
our constitution. It's time for Democrats have a backbone. It's

321
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,200
time for us to fight. It's time for us to

322
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:39,440
draw lines. And when it comes to the safety of

323
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,359
my state being denied, these grants. That's why I'm standing here.

324
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:47,599
Don't question my integrity, don't question my motives. I'm standing

325
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,480
for Jersey. I am standing for my police officers. I'm

326
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,319
standing for the Constitution, and I'm standing for what's right.

327
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,440
And Dear God, if you want to come up me

328
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:58,599
that way, you're gonna have to take it up with me,

329
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:05,839
because watch on the line out America. Process rights and

330
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,960
freedom of the speech rights and secret police running around

331
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,079
this country picking off the streets who have a legal

332
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:12,839
right to be here.

333
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,039
Speaker 2: This too, I don't have a legal right to be here. Lies.

334
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,039
Excuse me?

335
00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 11: Where are we going to stand together for principles that

336
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:24,440
I just heard that we're agreed with?

337
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: When are we going to stand together? Wa? This goes

338
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,680
on and on and on. You got the gist of it.

339
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,599
He's mad, everything's mad about everything. And by the way,

340
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,680
for the record, Cobert got thrown off because this show

341
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,359
was losing money. Your liberals can never get you know

342
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,599
who said? You know who did a really good, good,

343
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,559
good bit on that, Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan cut fifteen.

344
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:50,400
We're not gonna listen to the whole thing on that.

345
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,319
We don't have time. But Piers Morgan was on uh

346
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:57,359
that Fox show Outnumbered, I think it is, and he

347
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,720
mentioned that let's listen in.

348
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 7: So much heard so much guff about a reason for

349
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,960
a guy get canceled. His ratings were tanking. He was

350
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,279
costing them forty million dollars a year. You had two

351
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,079
hundred stuff. How many do you guys have? I mean

352
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,039
too are you say?

353
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 12: Does that bring it to two?

354
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:16,759
Speaker 2: No?

355
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 7: I know that Fox. You're number one by miles in cable,

356
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,079
and you have these very nimble teams of people, two

357
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:29,000
hundred people, and all they do all day is prepare

358
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,920
anti Trump jokes. So whenever I watched Colbert, which was

359
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,720
not a lot, whatever I did endless sneering, mocking, Trump bashing.

360
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,599
You know what, it's just boring. And so many of

361
00:22:39,599 --> 00:22:42,359
those late night guys. Kimmel does the same, you know,

362
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,400
Seth Myers does the same. John Oliver does the same.

363
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:49,119
It's a one trick pony Trump batching, trump bashing, Trump bashing.

364
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,279
And what happened is in the election, America went, you

365
00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:54,519
know what, we quite like Trump, so we're going to

366
00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:58,000
vote him back in because we're sick of you whiney liberals.

367
00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:00,880
And other wise I used to identify as them. I'm

368
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,000
sorry you.

369
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:07,559
Speaker 2: Got to gist to that. It was great. It's you

370
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:10,359
know what we caught rock him. We vote you mean

371
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:18,000
again right now? This Outnumbered crew also did a segment

372
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,640
on that attack that happened in Cincinnati that has just

373
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,640
gone so viral if you did not watch it over

374
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,839
the we I mean goodness. The videos are terrible, but

375
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,240
I will say this, and I'm not commenting on a

376
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,759
lot of it, because we are only seeing on those

377
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:42,119
videos from where the recording started. We are not seeing

378
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,400
what took place before. And there's a news account today

379
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,920
that's kind of like what buried in all of the

380
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:57,279
rest of this. So here's the segment from Outnumbered. Batragan,

381
00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:00,359
who I love her. I believe she is one of

382
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,440
the guests. Peers was on, Harris Faulkner was on. So

383
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,000
this was the segment they did on what's taking place

384
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,480
in Cincinnati. That would be a cut number fourteen. Jonas, Yes,

385
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:16,119
Cincinnati up in the newes you're telling.

386
00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 13: Me it was a fight when you see one hundred people,

387
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,680
one hundred black people beating up two white people, and

388
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,920
you're not what if this was one hundred white people

389
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,559
beating up.

390
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,319
Speaker 4: Two Asian people.

391
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 13: I think it would be pretty clear there is no

392
00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:31,839
place for this in our civilized society. And the fact

393
00:24:31,839 --> 00:24:34,839
that Cincinnati downtown in that area was bare and devoid

394
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,960
of law enforcement, that is on the shoulders of that

395
00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:41,240
police chief, Terry, And there is so much more accountability

396
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:44,559
to be had. That woman was a single mother who

397
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,400
was just attending a birthday party. Now she's fighting for

398
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,240
her life to the cheers of those one hundred plus people,

399
00:24:51,519 --> 00:24:52,839
and now we're going to have to pay for their

400
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,440
see three square meals a day by the way, in

401
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,880
prison going on, that's what they're gonna get. They're going

402
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,640
to enjoy the royal treatment in prison. How you look

403
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,880
at this, there's going to be zero accountability for those monsters.

404
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 12: Well, unless they get a soft on crime policy deal.

405
00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:08,640
I mean that's what we you know, where is the

406
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:10,759
justice can of be meted out the way Emily said

407
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:13,519
and if the fence get involved. I totally get that.

408
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,559
Speaker 7: So what has happened to our society? We have this

409
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,640
in the UK as well, when the first thought of

410
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,519
people when they see a woman knocked unconscious who may

411
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:24,440
be dead is to take your phone now and record

412
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,519
it on their phone and then post it on their

413
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,279
social media for likes. That is a sickening as almost

414
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:32,839
any other part of this. None of them apart from

415
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,640
one person cool for help, one person with a woman

416
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,079
who might be dead on the ground.

417
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 12: Well, and it's still not clear yet, Cheryl, if the

418
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,920
one person was in the bank of cars that was

419
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,640
being pushed back to traffic that couldn't come through it,

420
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,000
because this.

421
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,279
Speaker 2: Was right there. Okay, so Fox as you put today

422
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,400
on this third suspect in brutal Cincinnati beat down, arrested

423
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,920
and charged with assault. And anybody saw the video, So

424
00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:04,680
there's a bunch of black people's warmingness, the two white

425
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,680
people beating them down, and what the question? And she

426
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:12,119
quickly you could hear the clicks in her mind when

427
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,400
she said, what would happen if if one hundred white

428
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,839
people started beating Now she changed it to Asian, But

429
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,599
what would happen if it were one hundred people beaten

430
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,440
down to black people? You know what would happen? And

431
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:24,960
you know what would happen. You don't even have to

432
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:28,440
ax it. You know what the headlines would be, right now,

433
00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:33,000
everybody knows, right, So you have the report from Fox today,

434
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,039
third suspecting brutal Cincinnati beat down. Arrested charge with assault,

435
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:41,559
third person and rested in connection with the brutal beatdown

436
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:45,799
that left two people seriously injured. Police officers confirmed one

437
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:48,920
of them is name Jermaine Matthews has been arrested charged

438
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,880
with aggravated riot and assault. Days after the beat down,

439
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,839
three people have been arrested. The arrest comes a day

440
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,559
after thirty four year old Montenes Merriweather and twenty four

441
00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:07,920
year old decra ordikra or a Decra Vernon were arrested

442
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,160
on charges of felonious assault aggravated riot assault. All three

443
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:17,039
suspect appeared in court. Merriweather got five hundred thousand dollars bond,

444
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:22,000
Matthews one hundred thousand dollars, Vernon two hundred thousand dollars. Now,

445
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:28,920
I'm getting to the point. During the hearing, detectives alleged

446
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,319
Matthews was seen on the video chasing one of the

447
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,000
victims into the street. When the victim fell, Matthews allegedly

448
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,920
started kicking him several times. When he stopped kicking, the

449
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:43,480
suspected detectives playing Matthews appeared visibly just in rage before

450
00:27:43,519 --> 00:27:46,160
going on to hit another person When asked if the

451
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,400
punch looked like a surprise punch, the detective explained that

452
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:57,640
it appeared intentional. Still pay attention, Still, detective set in

453
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,640
one video, Matthews was seen standing in the area when

454
00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:09,599
the victim punched him in the face. Nobody's talking about

455
00:28:09,599 --> 00:28:14,920
that yet, So maybe the guy that was doing the beatdown.

456
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,440
We don't know. This is just one sentence, but it

457
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:22,480
is possible based on this one sentence, and we still

458
00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:24,440
don't know all the time. This is why I've kept

459
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,839
my mouth shut about this whole thing. I looked at

460
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,400
the video. I said, this is terrible, this is awful.

461
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,799
I don't know what the hell happened here because we're

462
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:37,359
only seeing a certain point. But this one little sentence here, still,

463
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,640
detective said. In one video, there was one video Matthews

464
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,920
was seen standing standing around in the area, just standing

465
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,200
standing there when the victim punched him in the face.

466
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:59,359
Now we're looking into that, says the detective. Matthews is

467
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,640
seen square up when someone with someone. When he gets

468
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:09,960
punched in the face, everything goes south from there. Oops,

469
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:16,680
that's an unexpected little thing. Now, by the way, some

470
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,000
of these Merriwether, one of the other people charged has

471
00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:25,079
an extensive criminal history. Seventeen years old, convicted of aggravated

472
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,559
robbery robbery. He also has faced robbery, aggravated burglary, kidnapping

473
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,640
charges themming from a similar incident. Blah blah blah. There

474
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,119
are a lot of questions that are going to have

475
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:38,559
to come out, a lot of things are gonna have

476
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:43,160
to be answered here. Now let me say this, and

477
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:49,000
I shouldn't say this, but I'm gonna say it anyway.

478
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,160
If you're around like a hundred black people or something,

479
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:56,680
and then all of a sudden, some guy pits another

480
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:03,359
guy in the face, just let me stop because we

481
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,279
need to get the facts on what happened here. I

482
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:08,279
don't need to say anything that could be taken out

483
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:12,279
of context. All I know is there. And am I

484
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:16,359
saying that there's justification for no that beat down? Just

485
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,519
let me be real clear. And that woman doing that,

486
00:30:20,559 --> 00:30:27,400
what was done to that woman, There is no excuse, none, none,

487
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:36,279
no excuses. It needs to be punished. And people that

488
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,359
jumped in there beating both of these people that weren't

489
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:45,359
a part of anything. This cannot happen without consequences. Cannot

490
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,880
and it's time to stop it and you have heard

491
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:52,079
me in this program talk about black racism before, which

492
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:57,880
is alive and prevalent and growing and growing unchallenged. There's

493
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,160
an aspect to we keep talking about these narratives what

494
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:06,079
happens when white people target black people. There is a

495
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:11,119
segment of black racist in this society who live for

496
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,960
altercations with white people, and that's a part of reality.

497
00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:19,680
And sadly, we don't have leaders with the moral courage

498
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,599
to speak up against the racism that is being taught

499
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,200
to black children at an early age, that is being

500
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:32,440
taught and excused by black people, including elected officials, who

501
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,200
see this stuff and who will not speak up against

502
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,680
it because they're afraid of being called names like oh

503
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:41,519
you are tom Oh you ain't black, oh blah blah

504
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:44,319
blah blah blah. But there's so much behavior that is

505
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,359
inexcusable inside of what is commonly called the black culture.

506
00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:51,960
And the black culture is not monolithic, by the way,

507
00:31:54,319 --> 00:31:59,079
and it is Look, it's time America will not heal

508
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:05,640
until that crap is just as unacceptable as any other

509
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:14,440
racist behavior should be unacceptable, period. So we have that.

510
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,279
I didn't even get to Texas. This tex Texas redistricting

511
00:32:19,359 --> 00:32:24,759
thing is jumping off, and it is jumping off hugely.

512
00:32:26,559 --> 00:32:28,279
We're gonna get to all of that. We gotta take

513
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:29,400
a quick break though.

514
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:33,319
Speaker 3: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple

515
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:41,839
Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden on the

516
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,680
Red Apple Podcast Network.

517
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: My friends, we are gonna pick it up with There's

518
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,200
so much more. I didn't even get to all this

519
00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:55,039
business with this Sydney Sweeney. By the way, I had

520
00:32:55,079 --> 00:32:59,519
no idea who this woman was, anything about her before

521
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:04,400
this American eagle thing took flight. It is still going

522
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,480
into high gear. We had a sound bite today. I

523
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,440
don't think let's just play some of it. Sixteen Jonas,

524
00:33:10,519 --> 00:33:13,279
let's just start. This is just and this is not

525
00:33:13,359 --> 00:33:15,720
even an inkling of a sampling of what's out there.

526
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:16,799
Go ahead, Jonas.

527
00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 14: I really wasn't going to weigh in on this, but

528
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:21,279
here we go. It is so difficult to grow up

529
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,720
as a person of color, specifically a woman, and view

530
00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:28,359
yourself as beautiful in any sense of the word. Growing

531
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,480
up in this country. I remember growing up in a

532
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,359
predominantly white community, wishing myself out of this body, out

533
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,200
of this culture. Take my name if it meant that

534
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:40,400
I could wake up blonde haired and blue eyed, never

535
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,440
having to explain who I am or worry about being accepted.

536
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:46,240
That is why this American Eagle ad with Sidney Sweeney

537
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:48,759
is especially off putting. There's a lot of rhetoric right

538
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:49,359
now online.

539
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,519
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, and if you get the gist. First of all,

540
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,799
why are people so hung up on their own self?

541
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,920
Why would you feel that it's so difficult to just

542
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:06,920
be who you are and appreciate God for who he

543
00:34:07,599 --> 00:34:12,400
for who you are. There's a lot more that I

544
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,480
want to say about this stuff, but we gotta go.

545
00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:17,840
May God bless protect each and every single one of you,

546
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,199
your families, your loved ones. Love and gratitude my friends.

547
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:22,280
Always you're being here with me, allowing me to be

548
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,639
with you, God willing. We are back tomorrow for the

549
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:31,840
Thursday edition of both nerds Rush Hour. Until then, my friends,

550
00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:36,960
