Rush Now Here's 17 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:07.840 James Golden. 18 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:17.120 I began to get innumerable text from friends, from foes, 19 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.920 from constituents about what was happening in that hearing. And 20 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.079 I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the 21 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.439 time was my constituent, who was not public knowledge at 22 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:39.079 that time that he was under federal investigation and you're huge. 23 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.959 Who was sharing information with me? 24 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.239 Know that Epstein had black property in the Virgin Islands, right, 25 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.120 What was your relationship with Epstein? 26 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.920 So, Jeffrey Epstein was a constituent, he was a resident 27 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.480 of the Virgin Islands, lived there, I guess more than 28 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.400 half of the year because he was registered there. I 29 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.640 had received donations from him. After the last investigation came out, 30 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.599 which was after this texting, I gave any donations that 31 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.759 I had previously received from them to women's organizations and 32 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.360 did not have any contact with him. But like many constituents, 33 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.360 individuals get your phone number, they text you about issues, 34 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.000 they speak to me. I have spoken with him about 35 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.039 issues that are relevant, things that are going on in 36 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.439 the Virgin Islands and elsewhere around the country. 37 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.439 The unbelievable Stacy Plasket, a delegate from the Virgin Islands, 38 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.919 explaining at nausea moncy and then her alleged her relationship 39 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:48.800 with Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, constituents, they just get your number 40 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.400 out of thin air. I mean, it seems to me, 41 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:57.159 given the scandal that she had with her telephone, she'd 42 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.280 be a little careful. If you don't know Stacy had 43 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:08.560 a problem pictures of her son's clothing got out and 44 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:18.680 apparently quite to the relating pictures, but it didn't buy it. 45 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.159 And of course the GOP in the mix with this 46 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:31.240 Epstein stuff. Last night, three Republicans Don Bacon of Nebraska, 47 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.639 Lance Gooden of Texas, and Dave Joyce of Ohio jumped 48 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.599 across party lines to shake it up with the Democrats 49 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.639 so that they would not censure Stacy Plaskett. And there 50 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.199 are a lot of Republicans upset about that. A backroom 51 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.879 deal apparently to protect a member of their own, Corey 52 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.560 Mills of Florida, who has been accused of domestic abuse 53 00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:02.680 and financial misconduct claims he denies, but Democrats now expected 54 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:07.199 to withdraw their censure measure against mister Mills. Is a 55 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.919 quid pro quo for these Republicans joining Democrats to make 56 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:17.959 sure that Stacy was not censured. And this story, I mean, 57 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.959 we have one more of Stacy from the House. No, 58 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.040 she was on CNN cut too. This is a follow 59 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.680 up with that discussion that she had on CNN with 60 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.160 Wolf blitzed me. 61 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.199 I believe that Jeffrey Epstein had information, and I was 62 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:37.079 going to get information to get at the truth having 63 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:42.480 a friendship with him is not something that I would 64 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.120 deem to have, and so I'm just looking forward. I'm 65 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.160 moving forward, and I think that that's what we as 66 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.519 American people should do, is move forward. If individuals are 67 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:58.879 not involved in illegal activity, extending his criminal enterprise or 68 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.600 his financial enterprise or all of those things, I think 69 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.920 that we need to look at what people are doing 70 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:05.879 moving forward. 71 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.720 Wait, let me just better understand that. 72 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:08.279 What is that point? 73 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.199 Because at the time he was. 74 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.319 A sex offender and it had been detailed all the sexual. 75 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.120 There are a lot of people who have done a 76 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.639 lot of crimes, and as a prosecutor, you get information 77 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:18.800 from people where you can. 78 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.720 She's pretending that she did not know. And the wording 79 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.319 on this was he a buddy. Well, I would not 80 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.879 deem to do But she never said guys not my friend, 81 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.240 never was my friend. I never had any I didn't 82 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.959 have relationships with that man, Jeffrey Epstein, whatever those relations 83 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.560 might be. And by the way, I'm waiting for the media. 84 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.040 They would do this if it were Republican. I'm waiting 85 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.680 for somebody in the mainstream press to try to dig 86 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:57.160 out her Returning, she says the donations to women's groups. 87 00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.000 What women's what women's groups? Did you give those donations too? 88 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.800 Where are the records of your giving them donations? Produce it? 89 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.199 Because her story is unbelievable, and if you just listen 90 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.839 to this nonsense, if you read the transcripts of the 91 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:18.000 of the text messages between her and Stacy Plaskett, it's 92 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.279 not just some little content. And this is after they 93 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:22.079 all knew what. 94 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:22.600 He was. 95 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:30.720 A predator, and now she's trying to gloss it over. Oh, 96 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:37.000 he's just another constituent. It's so full of it. Hakim 97 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.879 Jeffries also had to take a few questions regarding the 98 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.680 first of all, Hakim Jeffries was asked about plasket cut 99 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.120 for let's just get that out of the way right now, 100 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:54.000 Hakim Jeffries, Minority leader for Democrats, and just you tell 101 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.560 me whether he ever really answers the question that's posed 102 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.240 to him. 103 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.399 In the dream A high, very eye profile. 104 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.519 Michael Cohen hearing Stacey Plaskett was in direct communication with 105 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.759 Jeffrey Epstein, and this was after he pleated guilty to 106 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.920 sex crimes, as after the Miami Herald investigation into all 107 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.399 of these heinous acts. So why is a Democrat as 108 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:16.240 a Democratic leader. 109 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.279 Why are you okay with that? 110 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.560 I expressed my position on the floor yesterday. My statement 111 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.920 speaks for itself in a bipartisan way, a bipartisan way. 112 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:33.240 The resolution that was introduced targeting Stacey Plaskett was defeated, 113 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.560 and it was defeated for several reasons, including the fact 114 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.720 that it was a dramatic overreach related to throwing her 115 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.720 off her committee. So Democrats, Democrats, if you're gonna ask 116 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.079 a questions, you gotta let me answer. Democrats and Republicans 117 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.720 defeated the center. Stacey Plaskett has made clear her position 118 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.160 as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly, and her words 119 00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:58.959 speak for itself. 120 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.199 She said, quick up next, thank you later now following up. 121 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.720 Yeah, So right by the way, this is James Golan. 122 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.160 It's Snurdlely here with you. Fastest out on American media 123 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:15.199 both Nerdly's Rush Hour Wednesday edition welcome now, Hai King 124 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:19.279 Jeffries was also axed little ebonic language there, and Outreach 125 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:25.120 continually outreached to members of the community, asked about his 126 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:31.680 own Jeffrey Epstein issue cut five this and I'm gonna 127 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.000 have to just cut him well let's listen to it. 128 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.519 First cut, Flood. 129 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.240 Ask you about you because the White House has been 130 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.200 highlighting an email that I'm sure you've seen today that 131 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.519 Jeffrey Epstein got in twenty thirteen. They say it shows 132 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.759 you were soliciting money and dinner from an Epstein. The 133 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.919 email was not sent from you, sent from a political 134 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:53.840 consulting firm called Dynamic SRG that says, we were thrilled 135 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.759 to announce we are working with Congressman Hakeem Jeffries. Shoot 136 00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.159 us an email or give us a call if you 137 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.200 would like to get involved. What's your response. Do you 138 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.639 recall that email being sent to Jeffrey Epstein from that team? 139 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.879 Yeah, of course I have no recollection or the email. 140 00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:10.279 I've never had a conversation with him, never met him, 141 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:15.080 know nothing about him other than the extreme things that 142 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.799 he's been convicted of doing. And that's why, you know, 143 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.039 I'm just strongly supportive of the effort backing the survivors 144 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.240 to make sure that everything can come out whatever is 145 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.720 in those Department of Justice files. 146 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.600 So you never got a donation from Jeffrey Epstein or 147 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.360 anything like that, certainly not. 148 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:35.519 I never met him. 149 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.279 I don't know anything about him, who doesn't know anything 150 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.240 about Jeffrey Epstein. How King Jeffreys must be the only 151 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:47.879 person that doesn't know anything about Jeffrey Epstein except don't 152 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.360 know him, never met him. No, no, no, So we're 153 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:56.960 to believe that. And I'm gonna leave room for doubt 154 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:01.720 on this. You get a fundraising operation and they sent 155 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:06.120 a letter to Epstein and he claims he doesn't know 156 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:11.519 anything about it. All right, I'm as much as it 157 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:19.679 pains me, I must be fair. That is possible in 158 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:24.120 the world of political fundraising. It is possible that your 159 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.879 fundraisers just put together, compiled the lists of big donors 160 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.759 to the Republic, to the Democrat Party, sent them a list. Hey, 161 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.720 we're working with such and such. You want to jump 162 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.159 on this, let us know that is possible. So I 163 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.399 see a lot of people on social media saying, oh, 164 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:44.919 he took money from Epstein. He did not take money 165 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:49.799 from Epstein. That would have been discovered if he did. Well, 166 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.320 let me just put it like this. So far, it 167 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.279 appears that he has not taken money from Epstein. It 168 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.039 would have shown up on some of the reporting and 169 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.360 people are digging into that. So so far it looks 170 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.440 like he could be telling the truth when he says 171 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.159 he didn't take you any money if he's telling us 172 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.639 he never met him. Okay, I'm willing to take how 173 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.440 came Jeffrey's word for that, because that's certainly something that 174 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:24.440 could be you know, checked into to a degree. But okay, 175 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.039 then you had Jamie Ratskin who was on the house floor. Yes, 176 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:36.639 we'll break now defending defending Stacy Plasket. But we'll get 177 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.480 to that, and I'm gonna leave this Epstein stuff. Got 178 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.399 a few more things to say about it, but it's 179 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.279 not gonna dominate the show today because there's some other 180 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.240 things going on Charlotte. We're gonna talk Charlotte today. What 181 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.159 is happening folks in Charlotte is monumental and it should 182 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:54.759 be a history lesson for. 183 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.039 All of us. 184 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.600 And there are other things too, of course, President in 185 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:05.360 the news and so many other things.

The 189 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:28.279 Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative. 190 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:39.480 On the Red Apple podcast Network. 191 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.120 James Golden, known popularly as both snurdly. 192 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:51.279 This is the rush hour with James Golden Rush. 193 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.440 Now, as I mentioned, ladies and gentlemen before the break, 194 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:02.759 Jeffrey Uh Jamie Rats has had some issues here of 195 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.960 his own. He is being looked at for perhaps being 196 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:14.000 involved in going past a Bureau Prisons regulations and maybe 197 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:20.919 even who knows what else to get client privileged emails 198 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:26.240 from Gislane Maxwell and He which he used on the 199 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.000 glame she's called I call it Gislaine on what she 200 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:35.840 used during hearings, and that should be thoroughly investigated to 201 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.759 see if there's any wrongdoing. But he's one of the 202 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:45.960 ones standing up with some lame explanation for Stacy Stacy Plasket. 203 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.240 He was asked about that, well, he was the topic 204 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:54.240 of conversation James Comer White the House Oversight Committee, was 205 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.000 asked about that last night on Fox and they play 206 00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:01.639 part of Raskin's defense of class. So let's cut six, 207 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:06.039 let's listen into that, and let's listen to Comer on 208 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.159 Raskin on Plasket. 209 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.639 Dave arraigned a Democratic member for taking a phone call 210 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:17.080 from her constituent, Jeffrey Epstein in the middle of a hearing, 211 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.159 and of course I don't think there's any rule here 212 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.559 against taking phone calls. 213 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:22.480 Congressman. 214 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.840 Your reaction to all this, well, I've said many times, 215 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.879 Jamie r Askin's full of crap. He's the definition of 216 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.240 congressional hypocrisy. Can you imagine if that were Donald Trump 217 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:37.759 or me or some Republican that Raskin doesn't like, that 218 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:42.120 was texting with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who 219 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:46.039 the Democrats have now become obsessed over because they hope 220 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.879 and pray that he has something to do with Donald Trump. 221 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.559 If we were texted with him during a committee hearing, 222 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:57.440 I mean, it's preposterous. Remember Jamie r Askin appointed Stacy 223 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:01.519 Plaskett to be on the p to be an impeachment 224 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.919 manager of Donald Trump, and here we find out she 225 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:08.480 was communicating with Jeffrey Epstein in a plot to take 226 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.799 down Donald Trump. So for Jamie Raskin to try to 227 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.879 defend that on the House floor in front of America 228 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.240 is par for the course for Jamie Raskin. But it's 229 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:19.200 the definition of hypocrisy. 230 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.679 Okay, there's a lot of hypocrisy going around on DC now. Also, 231 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:29.000 CNN last night had a little exchange one of their contributors, 232 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.240 I guess, and I don't know whether she's an official contributor, 233 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.080 but she was on I think the Abbey show with 234 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.879 them is a woman by the name of Teslin Forgarro, 235 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.559 I've never heard of Teslin before, but anyway, this little 236 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.519 brief excert from Teslin. 237 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.759 I want to put. 238 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:48.440 Something on the table that I thought would roll up, 239 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.759 but I'm found very disturbing when he was talking about 240 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.600 she's founded on it actually is. There's another president by 241 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.679 the name of Thomas Jefferson who waked fourteen year old 242 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.039 Sally Hemmings was forty years old. So what we're talking 243 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:03.559 about right now has been going on, not just the 244 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.320 thousands of women you're talk about in high school. It's 245 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.000 been going on since the beginning of the time with 246 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.919 powerful men who have taken advantage of young girls and 247 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.000 then tried to make it be a love story. So no, 248 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.120 I don't think innocent people should have their name disparits. 249 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.519 What I'm trying to tell you is the files of 250 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:18.879 being released. So if you know, if you're in the 251 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.759 file and you didn't do anything wrong, then yeah, lord, 252 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:24.080 you're up because it's coming out and people need to 253 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:24.919 let me just know what's going. 254 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:26.200 Let Josh get you. 255 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.120 If you are in the file and now look, folks, 256 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.080 As much as I would like to take issue with 257 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.559 her calling out Thomas Jefferson on familiar he you know 258 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:45.399 I'm related DNA related to Thomas Jefferson. Now his relationship 259 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:52.000 with Sally Hemmings is a matter of record now, but 260 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.200 I never heard the word rape in connect world. Anyway, 261 00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.360 We'll be back, don'g away.

The whole point is 316 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.359 it's making safe. They have arrested I think over two 317 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.400 hundred people, including so many criminals, and this guy is 318 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:31.559 among many others complaining and never seen nothing like this, 319 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:38.119 never seen nothing like this at all.

He mentioned the schools are closing, the 322 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.400 restaurant folks. There are pictures coming out and images coming 323 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.920 out of Charlotte. There was an image taken at a 324 00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.920 home depot where normally will be busy parking lot is 325 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:58.400 just like looks like Sunday right before closing. At a 326 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.880 home depot. It's not that many cars in it. A 327 00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.359 woman took a video of a walk through in a 328 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:09.759 major supermarket and the owl's empty. You had a guy 329 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:12.599 complaining about his ice cream shop. You see other businesses 330 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.559 empty and people are complaining. But then you get to 331 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.319 the story of what's happening in Charlotte's schools. Here is 332 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:23.039 a teacher cut fourteen colors, a teacher giving us a 333 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.400 quick glimpse of what is happening in schools in Charlotte 334 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:32.880 this week. Now that Oyce is in the neighborhood. 335 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.559 GUS typically has sixteen students in it. 336 00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.000 We had four districtwide, there are one hundred and forty 337 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.960 five thousand, thirty students enrolled in Charlotte Mecklenburg schools on 338 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:46.279 Monday thirty three hundred and ninety nine were absent twenty 339 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.799 eight thousand, one hundred and thirty six unexcused. While CMS 340 00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:54.519 doesn't break down the numbers by ethnic origin, Gillespie, a 341 00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:56.720 multi lingual teacher, did. 342 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:01.440 Children of parents from in Gola, from Vietnam. But the 343 00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:05.680 students who were whose parents come from Latin American countries 344 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.880 were the students we were missing. So that was kind 345 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.440 of the line, even among the mL students, is that 346 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:11.920 we were missing Hispanic. 347 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:18.839 Students almost twenty eight thousand, if you get this right, 348 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:23.720 twenty eight thousand in a school system that has two 349 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:29.119 hundred thousand, not even two hundred thousand kids, twenty eight 350 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:38.119 thousand called out. Twenty eight thousand, which is a chunk 351 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:44.880 of the overall school population. What does that tell you? 352 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:48.720 Cut fifteen and you add that with this, and what 353 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.599 does this tell you? 354 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.559 Mm hmmmmm, No customers, No customers. 355 00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:02.119 People are scared to come out. You know, it's it's hard. 356 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.000 It's hard for my community. For example, normally. 357 00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:07.440 Like on a Sunday, we would have like all six 358 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.720 registers going and I have all times two registers, maybe three, 359 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.799 but it's I mean that the cells as far as 360 00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:17.920 that has gone down, but not only the cells.
