Speaker 1: Attention, dittoheads, attend bo Scouts Nedly, It's time for the
soul of excellence.
Speaker 2: He is a radio host here in New York.
Speaker 1: The Rush Hour is it's on the air Rush Rush.
Now here's James Golden.
Speaker 3: Welcome my friends. It's the Tuesday edition bos Nerdly is
Rush Hour and wow, so much going on. Let me
start by saying, this another loss, and this one hits
home personally to me.
Speaker 4: He was a friend.
Speaker 3: And I would not say we were like we weren't
best buds or anything like that, but we were friends.
And I would pick up the phone from time to
time and call him or he would call me back
once in a while. And Chris Jasper from the Isley
Brothers passed away. It was announced yesterday and apparently he
had passed away on Sunday. The family announced it yesterday.
Now I did an interview. In fact, we debuted on
this Saturday program. We debuted a song from Chris Jasper
that we're going to revisit this coming Saturday. It was
such a beautiful, spiritual, patriotic song. It was about America
and Chris and I talked to him. One of the
things he said was I said to him was that
he was unapologetically pro America, and he was. And he
was also unapologetically pro spiritual. He was very very in
winced by matters of the spirit. And we talked about that.
We talked about his great career. He is a member
of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so we
talked about that with and so we'll be playing some
of the Eisley's music today. And profound sense of sadness
that I have over the passing away age seventy three
of Chris Jasper. Apparently he passed away if he was
diagnosed with cancer in December. Of of course I was
unaware of any of that, and two months old and
later he's gone from us, so very very sad.
Speaker 4: On the political front.
Speaker 3: On the political front, I at one point I put
a post up just stop because I'm crying from laughter.
The Associated Press, as you may know, decided they were
going to stick their busy little middle finger up to
Donald Trump and haram varum tarum, how dare he change
the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf
of America. We're not going to listen to that. We'll
screw him. He's only the president of the United States,
so they stuck their middle finger up at him. The
White House then said, you know what, we have a
middle finger too.
Speaker 4: Here it is.
Speaker 3: You're not going to be allowed in the Oval office.
It's a very tight space and we're going to reserve
it for other news agencies.
Speaker 4: Here's that harm harrum's to you too too.
Speaker 3: The Associated Press then decided, well, we've got another hand,
and it's got another middle finger on it. So here
it is. We are taking you to court because you
can't do that to us. You can't deny us access
to the White House Oval Office or tell us we
can't be with you on Air Force one simply because
we hate your guts and try to display it in
every human way possible. So karns, well, today we got
the White House other hand. They have a middle finger too,
and cut one. Here is the White House's other middle finger.
Back to the ap.
Speaker 5: As you all saw yesterday, a federal judge denied the
Associated Press's emergency motion for a temporary restraining order against myself,
our Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Buttowich, and our Chief
of Staff Susie Wiles, for our decision to remove the
Associated Press from the White House press pool for certain
and special events. The judge's ruling upholding our decision to
deny the Associated Press such privileged access reinforces the truth
and it reiterates what I said from this podium last
week when that's it was filed, asking the President of
the United States questions in limited spaces such as the
Oval office in Air Force one is a privilege that
unfortunately has only been granted to a few. It is
not a legal right for all.
Speaker 3: Well, my friends, that is that, and that is so beautiful.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: I looked on the Associated Press website to try to
find the story of Associated Press losing.
Speaker 4: The battle, and guess what I didn't find.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's probably there somewhere, but it wasn't big,
huge block letters as the first story. Now, so you
don't have that other one. Well, later on, my friends,
Caroline Levitt delivered de coudeta, and this is the one
that had me laughing my head off. Laughing my head off,
the headline. Let me take some of the headlines from
various and sundry news sources. Okay, here's the rather mild
headline from the New York Times. White House moves to
pick the pool reporters who cover Trump. That's the mild version.
Politico decided they were gonna go for the more aggressive
version of the story. White House sees us control of
press pool will decide which outlets cover events with the president.
They seized like like you have it, play it, play it,
just play the daggone thing.
Speaker 4: Let's just hear it.
Speaker 5: A group of DC based journalists, the White House Correspondence Association,
has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of
the President of the United States in these most intimate spaces.
Not anymore. What I am proud to announce that we
are going to give the power back to the people
who read their papers, who watch the television shows, and
who listen to your radio stations. Moving forward, the White
House Press Pool will be determined by the White House
Press Team. Legacy outlets who have participated in the press
pool for decades will still be allowed to join he
or not, but we will also be offering the privilege
to well deserving outlets who have never been allowed to
share in this awesome responsibility. Just like we added a
new media seat in this briefing room, legacy media outlets
who have been here for years will still participate in
the pool. The new voices are going to be welcomed
in as well. As part of these changes, we will
continue the rotation amongst the five major television networks to
ensure the President's remarks are heard far and wide around
this world. We will add additional streaming services which reach
different audiences than traditional cable and broadcasts. This is the
ever changing landscape of the media in the United States today.
We will continue to rotate a print pooler who has
the great responsibility of quickly transcribing the President's remarks in
disseminating them to the rest of the world. And we
will add outlets to the print pool rotation who have
long been denied the privilege to partake in this experience,
but are committed to covering this White House beat. We
will continue to rotate a radio pooler and add other
radio hosts who have been denied access, especially local radio
hosts who serve as the heart feat of our country.
And we will add additional outlets and reporters who are
well suited to cover the news of the day and
ask substantive questions of the President of the United States,
depending on the news he is making on that given day.
Speaker 4: Folks, the tsunami in Washington, DC.
Speaker 3: Most of you are like, yeah, okay, I guess I
don't know what most of you are doing, but I imagine
some of you are like, Okay, what's the big deal.
This is a big deal. This is an earthquake in Washington, DC.
And announcing plans to hand pick the reporters who can
ask the president questions. The White House is breaking decades
of president, writes The New York Times. The change announced
by miss Levitt breaks decades of president. The White House
Correspondence Association, a group representing journalists who cover the administration,
has long determined on its own which reporters could participate
in the daily pool. Yeah, they were a bunch of elitists,
a bunch of mainstream media types who circle the wagons
among themselves. Wudn't let anybody else in their exclusive club.
And now Donald Trump has broken into the clubhouse and
they are not not, I repeat happy about it, not
in the least. The White House Correspondence Association rebuked they're
using biblical language here, folks.
Speaker 4: They don't just like it. They're rebuking it. They are.
Speaker 3: They're going to smite it, probably after they get through
rebuking it. The White House Correspondence Association rebuket then move
in a blistering statement. This move tears that the independence
of a free press in the United States. Eugene Daniels,
the president of the association, wrote, it suggests the government
will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a
free country, leaders must not be able to choose their
own press core. The association said that had been giving
no warning of Miss Levitt's announcement and that there have
been no prior discussions about it with the White House.
Speaker 4: The w h c A will never.
Speaker 3: Stop advocating for comprehensive access, full transparency, and the right
of the American public to read, listen, to, and watch
the report from the White House delivered without fear or
favor by the people that we pick. And only that
I'm just adding that to their statement by the outlets
that we pick that a part of our club.
Speaker 4: And we rebuke this.
Speaker 3: And we smite, We smite Miss Loving and we smite
Donald Trump, and we rebuilt.
Speaker 4: This dastardly move to take power and and and and
to and to and to not not allow.
Speaker 3: Us to decide what the American public hear is because
we are the way set the narrative. And if we
don't like the narrative doctor Trump administration is doing, by golly,
we're going to we rebuke this. We rebuke it, and
we're gonna keep rebuking it. As I said, we'll be
playing the music of the Isley Brothers in honor of
keyboardists singer vocalist Chris Jasper. Rock and Roll Hall of
Famer member of the Isley Brothers, James Golder is thirty.
Speaker 4: With you here.
Speaker 3: It's Tuesday. Both Rush Hour eight hundred eight four eight
nine to two is how you chose.
Speaker 6: You?
Speaker 4: Jupis choosing.
Speaker 2: Rush.
Speaker 1: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 7: James Golden, known popularly as both snardly, this is the
Rush Hour with James Golden. Rush eyeballs listening to the.
Speaker 2: Coming out of.
Speaker 7: That orange son of a bitch's mouth from threatened annexed
Canada to renaming.
Speaker 1: The Gulf of Mexico to.
Speaker 7: The Gulf of America, invading Greenland and understand what you
have done? No, apparently not, because you're all sharp as
mar Okay. He is going to destroy not only that
country that you live in, He's going to destroy.
Speaker 4: This whole world.
Speaker 7: Really, and a lot of you sons of bitches idiots.
Speaker 1: I think she's mad.
Speaker 7: I am just spitting because out of hand.
Speaker 4: Every day. Yeah, really that.
Speaker 7: He has to spew some kind of book in front
like he thinks he's the king of the world. I
hope when you start to suffer, may.
Speaker 4: That you suffer.
Speaker 7: I hope a few people are running after he's done.
You deserve it.
Speaker 4: I think she's a little upset.
Speaker 2: Folks, some of.
Speaker 3: My friends on the left to having temper chances. We
have to be gentle with them. Right now, I have
the distinct honor to have my friend back in the house.
Probably get mad because I call him my friend. He
is running from Mayor. So he had to give up Temple,
he had to give up his video show, maybe forever
if he wins the election.
Speaker 4: And he is a great broadcaster.
Speaker 3: But more than that, this is a guy who has
spent his life trying to protect the people of New York.
So it is my honor to welcome back to the
airways on this program both at least Rushauer, Curtis Leewell.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you both.
Speaker 8: Snerdley and I just arrived from the South Bronx where
a group of older African American men were singing as
if they were Donnie Hassaway, and some of the women
were singing.
Speaker 2: Like they were ROBERTA.
Speaker 8: Flack, and it was amazing a tribute to the loss
of ROBERTA.
Speaker 2: Flack.
Speaker 8: So I'm still sitting shiva. I'm sitting in mourning for ROBERTA.
Speaker 4: Flack.
Speaker 8: But they were doing duos of Donnie Hasway and ROBERTA.
Speaker 2: Fact Where is the love?
Speaker 8: The closer I get to you tonight, I celebrate my love.
I like the version done with Peeble Bryson later Ross.
Speaker 2: Oh, tonight, I celebrate my love. Oh oh, it's great.
Speaker 8: I was there for trying to help the people, mostly
women and children and elderly. They're putting two thousand, two
hundred single, able bodied young men of military age with
nothing to do and nowhere to go migrants and any
shelter when supposedly we're closing shelters in New York City.
Speaker 2: They just announced they're closing the Roosevelt Hotel.
Speaker 8: So why are we putting them in a different shelter
in the South Bronx, which already has shelters, halfway houses,
we have centers and in jail across the street.
Speaker 3: Two thousand, two hundred migrants coming in Bronx residents angry.
This is let's see, according to Fox News Digital on
the report, after learning they are powerless to stop it, Curtis,
we had to stop down for a quick break. You know,
my friend Chris Jasper passed away part of the Isley
Brothers plus Eisley Jasperisley. So we're Playingsley Brothers today too,
And yesterday we played with Bertha and we're gonna just wow.
Speaker 8: Well Ernie Issley best on the guitar forever.
Speaker 3: You know it. Anyway, Curtis, stay where you are. Let's
talk about this. Let's also talk about why you're running
for mayor and what you hope to do for the
city of New York if elected to be the mayor.
James Golden Sturly was here Both Sternly's rush Hour. Curtis
Lee was with me, don't go away, keep it right here, please.
Speaker 7: James Golden, known popularly as both Surly.
Speaker 1: This is the rush hour with James Golden.
Speaker 9: Rush it's Jasmine like and.
Speaker 10: We know, like, this isn't me trying to throw shade.
These are just the facts when you look at who's
voting for who the less educated folks. And when I
say educated, I'm not even talking about formal education. I'm
talking about people that literally don't want to read and
enlighten themselves on facts. Those are the people that typically
vote for the Republicans. And it's one of the reasons
that we have to stop writing in theses as Democrats, right, Like,
we want to give you every single little detail that
we can find so that you can have all the information.
But the reality is that the average person that is
going out there and voting, they're not paying attention to that.
Speaker 2: There is a lot of ways fraud and abuse in
the federal government.
Speaker 10: Though I'm not going to say that there's a lot.
I'm going to say that it does exist. I'm going
to say that exists. I don't think that there's a lot.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 10: We're in debt because we decide that we're going to
reduce the income.
Speaker 3: We're in debt, be course, we decide because we thought
we're going to reduce the income. And Republicans are so
dumb they don't read. But we in debt because we
decided we wanted to reduce the income. Oh wow, Curtis,
you know, you know what happened to the Grammys? Uh
in nineteen eighty one, this was Bob seekers here. This
is the year Bob Seger one for this one Best
Rock Performance, for this great song of his. I hope
you like it, Curtis, because you know you sometimes with music, Nah.
Speaker 8: Nor I'm coming off that high ROBERTA. Flack, Donnie Hathory. Yeah, man, people, Yeah,
you saying kind of hard to go the Siger out,
you know, like right off for that plus coming from
the hood the South Bronx. If I were have played
that music, they'd run me right off for one thirty
eighth and Brook and Cyprus.
Speaker 3: Curtis, they called you, didn't they? They called you to
come to the neighborhood, didn't they.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Black Reverence called me because they were getting
nowhere with the city administration, with Governor Hoko or the
police you know who, over attacks. They just don't have
enough police. So when all else fails, you know what
you do, James Golden, You call the Guardian Angels and
we always respond. I remember our forty sixth anniversary just
passed February thirteenth, and we started in the South bron
So we're now in thirteen countries and one hundred and
thirty cities, so we will always come back and pay
tribute to the people who made this all possible.
Speaker 4: Curtis, why are you running from here?
Speaker 8: Well, all you got to do is just look at
the streets and the subways, the quality of life that
has been diminished, the crime, the fear that has led
to flight, and the fact that we have, especially women,
who are being targeted again and again. And the different
thing that I do, James, I think you've noticed this
over the years. I don't vilify the emotionally disturbed of
the homers. I actually go down there and try to
tend to their needs. And if given the power of
being the mayor, I can then make sure the emotionally
disturbed persons and not living in the sob waste the
parks in the streets, but are actually in mental health
care facilities, and that all these migrant shelters that are
being abandoned now as migrants begin to get sorted out,
get turned over to be housing our Americans, especially veterans
who may have been in harm's way, who may have
served in war peace, but they deserve premiere treatment, not
the migrants.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you another question, Kurt, and we have
some calls for you, and I'm gonna ask you some
what I think may be some tough questions, but questions
I think that people want to know the answers to. Okay,
you have this image, right, you have not only excelled
in trying to make people's lives safe on the streets.
You're not afraid of battle. Right, you are a guy
that has taken bullets and lived to tell about it.
But are you the kind of guy, Curtis that's going
to sit down and in awe at city Hall and
work on a budget that, if you print it out,
is probably as big as twenty five thirty phone books?
How are you equipped to be the corporate kind of mayor,
the guy that's going to sit down and handle the
nuts and the bolt of city governance?
Speaker 4: Is that your style? Is that who you are? Well?
Speaker 8: Well, James Golden, We've had a series of individuals as
mayor who were very pretentious, who acted as if they
could handle all of those things.
Speaker 2: There are plenty of men and women in.
Speaker 8: That field who are the best that they could possibly be,
possibly be, And what you do is you encourage them
to come on board.
Speaker 2: And obviously take the lead.
Speaker 8: You're ultimately the person as mayor who makes the decision,
but you also have to be a mayor who somebody
can say no to, and you're going to listen to
them because they're an expert in the field.
Speaker 2: We haven't had that with Adams.
Speaker 8: We certainly didn't have that with Deblasio, and when he
was governor, we certainly didn't have that with Cuomo.
Speaker 3: All Right, how are you going to deal with the
City Council of New York? How are you gonna do
with all these diverse personalities some of them are complete
total left wingers that help the city get into this mess?
How does Curtis Sliwa deal and what is in Curtis
Leewer's background to give people confidence that you're going to
be able to go into that mayor's office and deal
with these really some of them, very very difficult personalities
who are diametrically opposed to everything that most people want
for this city.
Speaker 8: James Goldlin, you know, I'm the one person who has
been into all their neighborhoods. I've been in all of
their districts. I've been into neighborhoods where the only Republican
people I've ever seen is Abraham Lincoln on a five
dollar bill. So when they sit down with me one
on one, I know what they need in their neighborhoods
in order for them to be exalted, in order for
them to be praised. It's called discretionary money. They have
pet projects in their neighborhoods. And having seen how that's
operated before in successful times when we had mayors like
Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, you have to go into
their district, sit with them in their district, make them
feel comfortable.
Speaker 2: And then if you don't know something, you.
Speaker 8: Rely on them and their advisors and you make them
feel comfortable. Right now, they know they control the city,
so you have to be able to break bread and
have discussions. And I know what they need, which is
discretionary funds. And then that's when you start to negotiate
and you find out what they can do for you
and your agenda, and what you can do for their
discretionary funds.
Speaker 2: It's been done before.
Speaker 8: This mayor refuses to do it and build a Blasio. Well,
let's face it, he was too busy on the back
port smoking Maui Wawi and Hindu cushion working ahead to
spend any time with members of the City Council, of
which one time he served.
Speaker 4: Courteously. What about other schools in New York?
Speaker 3: I continue to say that it is disgraceful that in
this largest city, one of the largest cities in the world,
New York, consistently for decades now has had over two
hundred per a year failing schools. Over and over again,
we have failed generations of New York children and left
them unable to participate in America, in the world with
a decent education.
Speaker 4: What it will, mayor courteously we do.
Speaker 3: I don't think this is the problem that's going to
be solved in one term a mayor. I'm not looking
for a pioneer guy answer. If you have went great,
But what is courtesely we're going to do, mayor courteously,
We're to address education in New York City.
Speaker 8: Games Golden, There's no one answer that's going to resolve
all the problems, the serious problems we have in the
Department of Education, which right now takes one third of
the city budget thirty six billion dollars. And as you
pointed out, we get nothing, The children get nothing, the
teachers are having to reach into their pockets and actually
pay for items that the children need to be able
to function in a classroom. On a thirty six billion
dollar budget, you think we're ready for a little doze
action here, you know, not at the same level of
Elon Musk, but at a much smaller level in which
we cut out all the waste. We make sure that
the teachers have all the supplies that they need, and
that the children most importantly have a discipline atmosphere in
both the classroom and the hallways in the school, so
that they can learn and they are not going to
be frightened by those who are there for all the
wrong reasons. You have to be able to take those
young people out, put them into a different atmosphere of
vocational schools at which we don't have enough, teach them
a trade, and not only will they be productive, and
not only will they be good citizens.
Speaker 2: As a result, they may become small entrepreneurs.
Speaker 4: All of my.
Speaker 8: Cousins, James Gold and many of my cousins would have
probably gone to jail or prison if it hadn't been
for a vocation in high school teaching them to be
a carpenter electrician of plumbing, any of those trades that
it desperately needed. I mean, that's the demand of the workplace,
and we're not providing enough of those skilled laborers.
Speaker 3: Jacquelin in Brooklyn, you have a question for meryw candidate
Curtis Lee. What in New York running for the mayor
of New York City, the most important mayoral job in America.
Speaker 4: What is your question for Curtis Jacquelin high there.
Speaker 6: That's right, Thank you very much, Curtis. I hope that
you have a very good war chest behind you, and
I want to make the statement that it is imperative
that you become mayor this time around. There was a
disappointment that you didn't become mayor the last time, but
now it's truly a matter of life and depth from
the way I see it, as far as the way
the city has gone down the toilet, and you need
to start now with going after the possible Democrat opponents
in Cuomo. And I think I am the only other
person on the face of this earth that loathes and
despises him more than you do.
Speaker 1: You need to.
Speaker 6: Get billboards if your war chest can handle it, at
every bridge, tunnel, road, highway through way in the Tri
State area with his face on it, saying he is
the one that is responsible solely for congestion pricing. It
was his brainchild, and he is the one that was
responsible for no cash bail, which is why we have
the high crime rate that we do rampant throughout the city.
I know you can win this time, and I assure
you I will do anything and everything in my power
to get you elected mayor.
Speaker 8: All right, well, Jacqueline, first off, take this this website
down where you'll find out more things of what I'm
doing beyond just the good time that James Goldlin has
offered me to talk to you about how I could
be a good mayor, a better mayor than what we've seen.
Go to sliwa for NYC dot com. That's SLIWAFNYC dot com.
I am building up the war chest. I am strengthening
what I'm doing as a Republican because remember I just
won all five counties.
Speaker 2: That's the first time for me.
Speaker 8: The last time they were opposed to me, but I
won all five county support. I got to get the
petition signed, get the signatures not just for me, but
everyone who's running down ballot and that means the city
council people, the people are running for district leaders, committee people.
I know for those listening out there, you don't understand it,
but that's party building, that's building structure. And then once
the Democrats have their rumble, if Andrew Cormo jumps into
the race, whoever survives that process at the end of June.
Speaker 2: I'll be ready by then. But they got to build
a war chests.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna need money and I've got to make sure
that all the good Republicans are qualified to be able
to run for city council, district leaders and any people
so that we can party build in the process. So
it's a long process. Just go to Sliwa for NYC
dot com and you can help me that way.
Speaker 4: Jack, want to thank you for the call. Judith in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3: Got to make a quick time a fleeting, but I
wanted you have a question for Curtis.
Speaker 11: Okay, Hi, Curtis, wishing you a lot of luck on
miss Year. On the radio, Curtis listen, something came up
with a caller. I was very annoyed with him. I
felt he was trying to erase your achievements. And I'm
talking about you work so hard as a Guardian Angel
founder for so many decades, and part of your signature
identity is your beret is your jacket, and I have.
Speaker 12: To love it. And I feel that you could really
dress the success keeping that beret in jacket that's your symbol,
but also put on a great pair of drupans, the
best beautiful white shirt, gorgeous tie, and I think you
look fabulous.
Speaker 8: What do you think your fashioniche advice is spot on,
so you'll see me in the campaign.
Speaker 2: I will have the signature red beret.
Speaker 8: But I will have this suit, I will have the tie,
I will have the shoes that are appropriate to what
people associate with a serious candidate. So I appreciate all
that advice, and trust me, this time I'm going to
be reminding people. You know, you didn't listen to me
the last time, and James Golden, then I turn out
to be right on everything that I said.
Speaker 4: About damn thing, every single thing.
Speaker 2: So why wouldn't you listen to me again? And this
time give me the opportunity.
Speaker 8: And because remember the definition of insanity is to continue
to do the same things over and over and expect
different results. So whether it's Adams Cuomo or any of
the other liberal progressives as socialists, all you're doing is
making the same mistakes over and O. Give me an opportunity.
You know who Curtis slee is. You can't bribe me, James,
you can't buy me. Everybody, even my enemies, will say,
you can't buy Curtis Sliwa.
Speaker 2: You can't bribe Curtish Sleiwa.
Speaker 8: And wouldn't that be a nice touch that City Hall
will not be for sale when Curtis leew was mayors.
Speaker 3: It would not only be Look, Curtis, this is an
opportunity to break not only a cycle that's been going
on for decades, this is an opportunity to break a
cycle in New York that has gone on for two centuries.
Speaker 4: Folks, Really, when you really get.
Speaker 8: Down to it now, you'll be proud to know. James,
I was helping to close a wet shop the other
day because of the spread of bird flu. I saw
how the fowl and birds were treated. I'm not eating
chicken any longer. I gave up meat and fish and
venison long ago.
Speaker 2: I'm not quite the.
Speaker 8: Level you are yet, but that experience made me feel
like numb. I'm sorry these are our friends, These are
our feathered friends, these are our animal friends. I cannot
ever again eat that flesh. I'm sorry for everyone who does.
I'm not arguing with you, but I made that decision
because I saw what those creatures of God go through
get torturing and I mean butchering and slaughtering in the
most inhumane ways. Can never do that again, James, and
I thank you because you've talked about that before.
Speaker 3: Wow, Curtis, thank you, Curtis. Curtis se is such a
dear friend of mine and I love this man. He
is a hero. This is the man who doesn't talk.
He put his life on the line and puts his
life on the line for his fellow man. Give back.
It is my message. Okay, Curtis, you got to come
back and join us again. This is just the beginning.
I want to talk more in depth. You got to
wrap it up for now. Thank you Curtis for joining us.
Speaker 2: My pleasure and God bless you. ROBERTA.
Speaker 8: Flack, You entertain so many for so many, for so
many years, in such a great way.
Speaker 4: Amen to that.
Speaker 3: And right now, George Harrison's birthday is today, folks. So
while we talk about the music, Chris Jasper, the Issy Brothers,
