  Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: In the attempt, we used our vehicles to block him in. Mr.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Bergall refused lawful orders to exit his vehicle. He then
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: accelerated his vehicle, smashing into two of our government ICE vehicles.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: and then weaponized his vehicle and proceeded to accelerate going
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: towards other officers. Our officers, using their training and believing
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: that their life and the life of the partners in
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: the general public were in danger, used their training and
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: fired weapons. Mr. Bergall was struck by one of the
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: bullets or fragments superficially in the neck. He stopped his vehicle.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: We arrested him, rendered first aid, and then took him
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: to the hospital. Because of Mr. Bergall's lengthy criminal history
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and known fleeing, we placed him in a detention facility
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: outside of the state of New York.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: We will continue to prosecute this individual to the fullest.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: We will continue to place him in removal proceedings, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: we will continue to try to remove him from this
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: country as quickly as possible following his charges.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: I want to reiterate a bunch of things about this,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and I will. Welcome to the Friday edition. I can't
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: believe it's already Friday again, edition of Buster Lee's Rush Hour,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: the fastest hour in American media, the fastest week in
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: American media. Boy, these weeks just fly by fast. And,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: of course, outrage in New York, complete and utter outrage
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: over the fact that a criminal that they had and
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: let walk the streets, who then tried to ram ICE
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: agents with his vehicle, outrage on the part of the mayor,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: outrage on the part of the Bronx Borough President, outrage
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: on the incompetent governor of the state, Kathy Hochul, outrage
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: that this man has been apprehended by ICE with a
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: five-year-old boy in the car. And, oh, we're going to
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: get into that, too, because they keep going on. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: fake conservatives or former conservatives like this Scarborough character.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: Just outraged.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Outrage. How dare you apprehend a criminal in New York?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: You're not supposed to apprehend criminals in New York if
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: they're illegal aliens. You're only supposed to apprehend the black
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: and brown criminals in New York if they happen to
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: be American citizens. You're not supposed to touch illegal criminals
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: in New York. Only the American citizens. If you get
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: a white criminal in New York, you get bonus points.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: But if you're going after an illegal immigrant, well, hell no.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Leave the immigrants alone. Leave the illegal immigrants alone. We
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: will get into that. There's outrage on all corners. You
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: want to know what set off an international outrage? Let's
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: just jump into it. Carlos got one. And I'm using
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the overseas reporting on.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: This because.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: You can hear the shock. Almost, and you can hear
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: the shock almost as she's reporting it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Cut one, let's just play it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: From the United States. Now, Defense Secretary Pete Hexer has
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: said that the public would be able to watch the
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: firing squad execution of a former U.S. Army officer convicted
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: of a mass shooting at Fort Hood Airport. in Texas. Now,
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: the person in question is Nidal Hassan, former Army major,
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: who opened fire at the Fort Hood base on November
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: the 5th, 2009, killing 13 people and wounding 32. And
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: now Pete Hexner has said that the public would be
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: able to watch His execution, which would be by firing squad,
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: the execution would be carried out on December 3rd of
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: this year. And Hegseth goes on to say he's going
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: to get a firing squad of soldiers. We'll make sure
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: that people are able to watch it. That is the public,
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: because people need to understand that there are serious consequences
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: for these types of things.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: These types of things, you know, where you have a
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: terrorist who's in the army who decides to kill 13
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: people and injure 30. These types of things.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Hexeth. Hexeth says that people are going to be able
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: to watch it. I mean, how intolerable is this? People
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: are going to be able to watch it.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Do you remember the guy, Andrew, Judge Andrew Napolitano? I
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: think this guy, I'd have to do a scorecard list.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I think he was wrong on so many things. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: used to watch stuff, and after a while I noticed,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: whatever this guy said, I would kind of start going
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: in the opposite way, thinking of what's going to happen
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: at times. Anyway, he was on another news network, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: he raised questions about the whole thing with Nadal's execution.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Cut to, here he is. Go ahead.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announcing that the execution of
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: the Fort Hood shooter Nadal Hassan will be streamed live
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: for the world to see on December 3rd.
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: Judge, there's a lot going on here.
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: This suspect was moved from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Hood
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: for a public execution, held in the public, live streamed at.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: One o'clock in the afternoon.
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: Is all of this enough to say this is unusual?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It may not be cruel, but it's definitely unusual.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: Well, it's certainly unusual, and it's probably unlawful since federal law.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Prohibits the broadcast of killings.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: This is a statue that was written back in the 70s.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: You may remember this. You may be too young to
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: remember it. Snuff films from the 70s where people were
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: filmed brutally attacking others who consented to the attack. It
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: was an outrage. Congress prohibited it. The wording of the
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: statute arguably prohibits the broadcast of any act of violence.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: You can broadcast simulated violence like in a movie, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: you can't broadcast an actual killing. The problem is that
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: Hassan doesn't have a lawyer. This case went all the
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: way to the Supreme Court of the United States. With
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: him acting as a lawyer, all of his appeals were denied. Look,
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: his conviction is valid. His sentence is absolutely valid. The
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: question is, do we want to make a public spectacle
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: out of it? And if we do, does that rise
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: to the level of cruel and unusual?
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Really? Cruel and unusual? Yeah, okay.
• 7:00
  Speaker 11: Well.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Okay, President Trump, cut three.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: This is quick, ladies and gentlemen, and then we're going
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: to move on to some other things besides this.
• 7:11
  Speaker 12: In fact, we're giving a man the death penalty who
• 7:13
  Speaker 12: killed 14 soldiers a couple of years ago. Death penalty
• 7:22
  Speaker 12: through firing squad, and he deserves it. Killed and wounded many,
• 7:27
  Speaker 12: many people, a maniac.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, wounded about 30 people. And so now, uh, apparently
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: new stories are out today. JD Vance is saying he
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: wouldn't watch it. And he's a little bit squeamish. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: have to tell you, just to be totally frank and
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: honest with you. When I first heard the news, I was, uh,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: shocked that, that, and, and I wouldn't watch it either. However,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean that I'm necessarily opposed. I don't know.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I have mixed feelings about it. I mean, I have
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: mixed feelings about it. I'm not necessarily opposed to it
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: being live streamed. It's not something that I want to
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: personally watch. I'll read about it. I don't want to
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: watch executions. I don't want to watch anybody being executed,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: but it doesn't mean that they shouldn't be because I
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: don't want to watch. It doesn't mean that they shouldn't
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: be seen. I suppose is my point of view. Okay.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Speaking of executions, Cut three. We will get to the
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Mondami stuff. I'm just saving my powder on this. When
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: we played it at the top, this Mondami stuff is outrageous.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: And Kathy Hochul, I'll tell you, if there is a reason,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: if you, the campaign for governor in New York has
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: not received a heck of a lot of attention around
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: the nation. I think the consensus is, oh, Hochul's going
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: to win. It's New York. If Hochul, she's a disgrace.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: And both she and Mondami, to me, this is unforgivable.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Their reaction to what ICE has done. And then you
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: have this lunatic, I'm not going to be able to
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: get to this today, a lunatic statement. I'm not calling
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: the woman herself a lunatic. I don't know her. But
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: one of the more lunatic statements I've heard is from
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: the Bronx Borough President filled with profanities about getting ICE
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: the F out of town and all the rest of it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: But anyway, we'll get to that. Speaking of executions, cut three.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: This is Cameron Sexton. He was on News Nation with Cuomo.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: He's done Tennessee. Yeah, cut four. Here he is.
• 10:00
  Speaker 13: A coma and whatever happened to her by failing to
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: execute her twice could qualify as cruel and unusual?
• 10:10
  Speaker 11: Well, there wasn't an execution twice. What there is is
• 10:14
  Speaker 11: the process and procedure of when you do the lethal injection.
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: If the first injection does not work, then they authorize
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: a second injection. So it was still the same execution.
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: It wasn't two executions. It's the same process under the
• 10:27
  Speaker 11: first execution. But no, I do not find that cruel
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: and unusual punishment to take her back and execute her
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: through lethal injection.
• 10:38
  Speaker 13: Are you open to changing the law about the death
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: penalty in your state in any way?
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Yes, we are.
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: Look, I think 30 years of appeals is way too long.
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: I think the families are waiting too long. I don't
• 10:52
  Speaker 11: think that's swift and efficient. We need to figure out
• 10:55
  Speaker 11: how to speed up that process. 30 years is way
• 10:58
  Speaker 11: too long. 20 years is way too long. At the
• 11:00
  Speaker 11: same time, we need to look at different methods. Other
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: states have different options. We're going to investigate what some
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: of those options are and other methods and see if
• 11:08
  Speaker 11: we need to change. Maybe we do away with lethal injection.
• 11:10
  Speaker 11: Maybe we keep lethal injection. But we need to look
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: at all alternatives as we move forward.
• 11:16
  Speaker 13: Does it impress you that America is the only one
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: among its developed peer country partners that has the death penalty?
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: What do you think that says?
• 11:27
  Speaker 11: Well, that's what we do. But would you rather do
• 11:31
  Speaker 11: what some other countries do? And when you still chop
• 11:33
  Speaker 11: off a finger, chop off a wrist? I mean, they
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: have punishments as well that are very severe. You might
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: look at those and say, I don't agree with those.
• 11:42
  Speaker 11: But we do have the death sentence for very heinous crimes.
• 11:47
  Speaker 11: Not everybody who murders get the death sentence. Most of
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: them get life imprisonment or life without parole. But there
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: are some instances where they do get.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: The death penalty.
• 11:58
  Speaker 13: I'm saying that I don't compare America to Afghanistan. I
• 12:04
  Speaker 13: would compare it to Europe and other developed places that
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: don't practice savagery. So I don't accept the analogy that
• 12:12
  Speaker 13: you put out there, sir, because, no, I don't want
• 12:15
  Speaker 13: to be like Afghanistan. I just don't want to be
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: the only country. That isn't considering this as our European
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: peers have.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Why do you think.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You said, well, this is what we do?
• 12:27
  Speaker 13: I know we used to not allow interracial marriage and
• 12:31
  Speaker 13: a lot of other things.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: You change over time.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: You can evolve.
• 12:34
  Speaker 13: Do you think it's time for us to consider evolving
• 12:36
  Speaker 13: whether or not we should have the right to kill
• 12:39
  Speaker 13: another human being?
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: Well, the sentence is imposed. What they did is murder somebody.
• 12:46
  Speaker 11: We're carrying out an execution.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: And no, I don't.
• 12:50
  Speaker 11: I do not think that America should change or Tennessee
• 12:52
  Speaker 11: should change. The states have the power not to do that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 11: So it's a state's right issue. If a state does
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: not want to have the death penalty, the federal government
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: doesn't force them to have it. So it's in state control.
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: In the state of Tennessee, I can tell you it's
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: a bipartisan issue. Over 85% of Tennesseans, Republicans, Democrats, and
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: Independents want to have the death penalty.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Okay. Unbelievable.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: The Europeans. I don't want to be like those Afghans.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Who else don't you want to be like, Chris? But
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: the Europeans, our peers. So get what he's saying. The
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Europeans are our peers. Everyone else in the world is
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: not his peer. The Europeans are his peers. There's a
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: hint of something in that. And then he goes right with, well,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: you know, they didn't used to interracial. We ain't going
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: to bring in race into this, Chris. What's in the
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: back of this in your mind, Chris Cuomo? James Golden Sterling.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: We'll be right back. Fastest Hour on American Media continues.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden. Entertaining and informative.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: My friends, I have very influential friends.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: And very knowledgeable people in the media that absolutely listened
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: to this show from time to time. And some of
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: them are among the greatest minds in the world of
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: American media. One such person, and I'm not going to
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: mention his name. He didn't give me permission to do that,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: but he's won. He's the winner of multiple, multiple, multiple
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Emmy awards. He's one of these people that's been behind
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: some of the biggest broadcasts, not just in America, but
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: in the world. He's an amazing broadcaster. He's a legend
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: in the broadcast industry. And he is recognized as a
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: legend in the broadcast industry. He happens to be a
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: good friend of mine.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: He said, Mr.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Gowlin, you're totally wrong on the point that you raised.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: The broadcast of these executions is totally 100% unequivocally wrong.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: It doesn't feel anything but people's emotional mind vengeance. That
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: is amazing phrase. Emotional mind vengeance. And what it will
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: do is start more violence. Again, remember the heads being
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: cut off of Americans? This serves no smart purpose. There's
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: no evidence that proves this sort of thing fixes anything.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: We're creating martyrs. This is a very dangerous subject. Well,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I'm going to raise this subject because it's in the news.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: And as I said to you, I don't want to
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: watch anybody's execution.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: It is something, the idea of it turns my stomach.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I wonder what people say. I want to have a
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: broader discussion about this tomorrow on the Saturday show, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: we have time to take a few calls. I find
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: even the public executions that we used to have, the
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: depiction of them are too grisly for me to watch,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: especially in the past, what happened in the history of mankind.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: We'll be back, folks. Don't go away.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden. Entertaining and informative.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: But ICE is rotten to its core.
• 16:31
  Speaker 14: Today's shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we
• 16:35
  Speaker 14: have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity,
• 16:39
  Speaker 14: that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that
• 16:43
  Speaker 14: they have killed far more of our neighbors than they
• 16:45
  Speaker 14: could ever have claimed to save.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: This city wants ICE out. All they do is terrorize
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: this city.
• 16:53
  Speaker 15: ICE says the incident happened during a targeted operation where
• 16:57
  Speaker 15: agents surrounded the car of the 28-year-old from Dominican Republic.
• 17:01
  Speaker 15: Shots were fired during the attempted arrest, injuring the man.
• 17:04
  Speaker 12: So DHS says the illegal immigrant has a criminal record
• 17:08
  Speaker 12: and ties to the violent Trinitarios gang over in Venezuela.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: We spoke to the Republican candidate for New York Attorney
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: General who says it's the current system that allowed for
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: the illegal migrant to be out of jail despite his
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: past crimes.
• 17:21
  Speaker 15: Sanctuary City.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And blamed those policies on her opponent, Letitia James.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Our system in New York, it's broken.
• 17:30
  Speaker 16: We used to have laws in New York where they
• 17:32
  Speaker 16: would be held instead of released. But then bail reform
• 17:36
  Speaker 16: came along, and that was Letitia James who championed bail reform.
• 17:40
  Speaker 16: You would take the people who came out of state
• 17:42
  Speaker 16: jail and hand them over to federal officials at the
• 17:46
  Speaker 16: jailhouse door. No one had to go into any neighborhoods.
• 17:50
  Speaker 16: But that also changed because Letitia James sued to change it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 16: No one really wants to see these enforcement operations happen
• 17:57
  Speaker 16: in communities when they could happen safely at the jailhouse door.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, some people want to see it because it's
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: good for their politics. All right, let's get to this,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen. Oh, by the way, I've had a response.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Lady Benedict, uh, responded to the point that was made
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: from our esteemed member of the media. She says, I
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: think this public, if Hegseth is right, she says she
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: thinks this would show consequences. There is no sanctity for
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: life right now in this society. Kids play video games,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: they get desensitized. Maybe, maybe they ought to see what
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: it really looks like, what the consequences are. If they
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: engage in heinous crimes. We'll move this discussion. Carlos, you're
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: shaking your head. Just tell me why you're shaking your head, Carlos. Sure,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: they can do whatever.
• 18:57
  Speaker 17: I don't think the whole public showing is going to
• 19:02
  Speaker 17: be good. Because going back to the hanging of Saddam,
• 19:07
  Speaker 17: there were a lot of replications, a lot of kids.
• 19:11
  Speaker 17: And some of them, unfortunately, they died because it was
• 19:15
  Speaker 17: a hanging.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Pretty much. So, I'm not a big fan of them showing.
• 19:20
  Speaker 17: They can do whatever they want, but I'm not a
• 19:22
  Speaker 17: fan of the public show.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. I mentioned this before the break,
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: and I'm going to say it again. When I was
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: a young kid, I could watch a lot of stuff.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: And as I got older and I realized, the more
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: I thought about and realized how precious, what a precious
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: gift life is. Especially life in the human body. And
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: all life is precious to me, and you know, I'm
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: not trying to start a religious debate here with anybody,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: but to me, all life stemmed, all life stems from
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: one place. We know that the creator. And so every
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: being on in the creation has a spark of life
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: from the creator. Some people define that as a soul. Okay,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: let me just put that on the table, but say this.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: The older I get and the more we close in
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: toward our own mortality, I think many of us start
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: to appreciate more how precious this gift of life really is.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: And I noticed that even in my 20s, I started
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: to get squeamish about Watching depictions. I can't watch horror movies.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I can't watch stuff where it's like gory and I
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: can't watch it. It upsets my mental state. It affects
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: me emotionally. I cannot watch that stuff. Even scenes in
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: movies that I like. If it gets too gory, I
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: have to turn my head away. I cannot watch that stuff.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: So that's where I come from. And I think if
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: you look at this inhumanity There are depictions of what,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: if you look at the horror that human beings have
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: inflicted on other human beings, you can go through the
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: horrors that happened in the Spanish Inquisition. You can go
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: through the horrors that happened. You look at, to me,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: this business of draw and quarter, which hang, draw, and quarter.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: It is so ghoulish and so horrific. that even depictions
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: of it I cannot bear, I cannot tolerate it. So
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: I'm going to open this up for discussion again tomorrow,
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: and I'd like to thank those of you who responded.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: But I also agree, Lady Benedict said something about the
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: sanctity of life and about the desensitization that we have
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: for it. And that's something else that I want to
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: talk about. You know, people get upset with this. And
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: yet when you start talking about millions of people over
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: the years that have died inside the womb, in some
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: cases when they could have lived outside the womb, then
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden the argument turns. You don't get
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: the same sort of attention because then we start talking
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: about people's right to choose who lives and who dies.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: So I'll just put that out there.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Now, I want to get to this New York business
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: because to me, this is one of the most egregious
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: things I've heard. Let's go back to the Mondami. Let's
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: listen to as much of it as we can all tolerate. Together,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: cut 17. This is the mayor of New York, Zoran Mondami,
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: after this incident yesterday.
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: When ICE agents opened fire, a five-year-old child, a five-year-old
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: child was in the backseat of the car.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: Thank God.
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: That child is physically unharmed. For the past two hours,
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: I have been on the phone with President Trump and
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: Secretary Mullen, negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot.
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: Those negotiations were unsuccessful. Just moments ago, ICE put the
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Good. Let me say this plainly.
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: What happened today was an outrage Tonight, a five-year-old child
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: sits traumatized and terrified. Tonight, millions of our neighbors are
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: wondering whether they will be safe on our streets, in our.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Schools, at their work sites.
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: Tonight, New Yorkers across the five boroughs are asking whether
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: their civil liberties will be respected, whether law and order
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: is supposed to look like a man carrying.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: A long gun wearing a mask. We know that ICE
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: is rotten to its core.
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: Today's shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity,
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: they have killed far more of our neighbors than they
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: could ever have claimed to save. I also want to
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: say something on a personal note. I stand here not
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: just as the mayor of our city, but as someone
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: who is proud to be an immigrant in our city.
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: And I know that these kinds of raids, this kind
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: of terrorizing of this city leaves the three million immigrants
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: of this city asking if they are safe here, if
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: they belong here, if this too can be their home here.
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: We will not normalize ICE's viciousness. We will not accept
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: its cruelty. We know, and I have said this directly,
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: whether to the president or to the public, ICE undermines
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: public safety.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: It makes us less safe.
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: New York City will not stand by while ICE agents
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: shoot New Yorkers. And we will not back down from
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: the demand that so many, including myself, have put forward
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: time and again. This is an agency that must be abolished.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: With that, I am now going to turn it over
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: to our police commissioner and fiscal commissioner.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: All right, let me tell you something. This is outrageous.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: What is outrageous is this heinous speech by a so-called
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: elected official.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: Let's go through the points together. he went through, okay?
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: He went through two hours of negotiations to try to
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: release a criminal that New York City had already released.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: As you heard earlier... As you heard earlier.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: This man, Oscar Bilgao, the undocumented, which means illegal immigrant,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: should not have been in the country in the first place,
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: was shot after he tried to use his car with
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: a five-year-old inside that ICE agents didn't know was inside.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: They didn't know he had a five-year-old inside. But at
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: the same time, with a five-year-old inside his car, he
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: tried to use his car to ram law enforcement officials. Now,
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: if this guy was an illegal immigrant, Let's just say
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: he's your.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Gold-toothed bro with.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: A bunch of dreads and with his underwear showing because
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: his pants are drooped down halfway down his ass. Would
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: anybody be standing up in City Hall talking about, and
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: he tried to ram a car at law enforcement, would
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: we even be having a discussion? Oh, hell no. Every
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: single day. Police all over this country arrest people that
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: have broken the law. And if you use your car
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: as a weapon, they will shoot your ass. Because they
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: have to try to go home to their families, which
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: is important to them. If New York hadn't let these
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: people out of jail and just followed the law... As
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: it used to be, which is, hey, let's just turn
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: him over, as you heard earlier.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: He wouldn't have even been on the street.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: But this is all to protect illegal immigrants, people who
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: already broke the law coming here, people who drain the
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: resources of this country because they are here illegally. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: when they're criminals, that doesn't matter. You have never heard
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: the mayor of New York call the president of the
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: United States. You haven't heard Kathy Hochul speak up to
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: the president of the United States or anybody in any
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: other agency when in Queens, when in the Bronx, when
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: in Brooklyn, Staten Island, anywhere, Manhattan, you have your regular
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: thug gangbangers who happen to usually be black or brown
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: picked up and arrested.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: After they tried to do somebody, have you ever heard.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: And they don't care whose neighborhood these people terrorize. They're
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: not going up terrorizing Mondami. These people that do robberies
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: like this guy did. This guy who has been accused
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: of selling fentanyl, heroin, cocaine to undercover narcs.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Fentanyl kills people.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Does he care about the people that get killed from
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: this stuff?
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: Fentanyl?
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Does he care that law enforcement is trying to take
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: these people off the street? Does he care about the
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: people in the neighborhoods where this guy commits his criminal actions?
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Not a damn.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Not one damn does he care about the people in
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: these communities who get hurt every day by these criminals.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: The only thing that's on his mind is I hate ICE.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: I hate Trump.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Get him off the streets and let me feed my tedious,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: crazed election base.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: And ignore the law.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: And when these people terrorize neighborhood after neighborhoods, when they
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: turn once great neighborhoods in New York to hell holes,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: the Mayor Mondani's not around.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Kathy Hochul doesn't give a SHI you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Know what about what happens in these neighborhoods because she
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: and her friends don't live in these neighborhoods. You try
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: to get the criminals out of these neighborhoods.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: And what do you get? You get the mayor of New.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: York standing up for criminal gangbangers and calling law enforcement
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: a bunch of terrorists.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: You, Mr.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Mondami, are a disgrace. You're a disgrace to the office
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: of mayor. You're a disgrace to New York City. You're
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: a disgrace to the idea that law is important.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: You are a 100% total disgrace.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I find it hard to believe that somebody with your
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: political positions could actually even be elected to office. but
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: there you are, much to the detriment of New York
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: City and for the people who respect the law. You
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: are 100% a total losing disgrace to this city. We'll
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: be back. Don't go away. Clip of the day coming up.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Clip of the day is coming. Don't go away.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden. Entertaining and informative.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
• 30:07
  Speaker 16: The clip of the day.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: You want to hear it. It's the clip of the day.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: And the clip of the day comes to us from
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: PMS Now. The guy that morning Joe show. Man, I'm
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: glad I don't have to have coffee with that show anymore.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: Anyway, here he is.
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: With immigrants. twice in Minneapolis, killing Americans, killing immigrants in Maine,
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: killing immigrants in Houston, and now shooting into a car
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: in New York City.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: They may not know it, but ICE got lucky this time.
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: But luck is not a policy. And luck, Willie, is
• 30:57
  Speaker 9: not what those children... that are let out of school
• 31:04
  Speaker 9: at 4 p.m. in the afternoon and walking home with
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: their parents, that luck is not what they should be
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: able to depend on.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: This whole idea about.
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: Immigration, we're going to make the streets safe from gangs.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: Really? Really, why is it that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: These communities that they were supposedly supposed to protect, they're
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: actually scared of these ICE agents who act like thugs,
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: who aren't trained, who carry around guns and shoot wildly
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: into parked or move slowly moving cars.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: It is beyond outrageous.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you just laid it out really well, Joe.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Imagine you're sitting in a car wherever you are.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe, let me kiss your butt here for making
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: one of the most nonsensical statements ever said on television. Joe,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: first of all, they weren't shooting wildly. Their car was rammed.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: I remember when Joe Scarborough, I met him when he
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: first went up to Congress. I went to D.C. and
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: I met him with that group of incoming Congress. I
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: remember when he used to say he was a conservative.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I wonder if he even remembers what he used to
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: think back in the days when he was running for election,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: telling people he was a conservative.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: What?
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, man, let's leave peacefully. On this day in 1964,
• 32:25
