Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former U.S. Army officer and senior aide to Colin Powell, has made a powerful and controversial statement accusing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of being responsible for the deaths of innocent children in Gaza. His words highlight the intense emotions and global outrage surrounding the ongoing conflict. The call for justice and peace grows louder as the humanitarian crisis deepens.

00:30Hi everyone, Judge Andrew Napolitano here for Judging Freedom.
00:36Today is Thursday, May 22nd, 2025.
00:41Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson joins us now.
00:43Colonel, a pleasure, my dear friend.
00:45Thank you so much for joining us.
00:47Colonel, what is your take on the phone call earlier this week between President Trump
00:55and President Vladimir Putin?
00:57How do you read that?
00:59I don't know how to read it because I don't have a transcript, but from the aftermath
01:04in terms of what I'm hearing, I won't say it didn't go very well, I'll just say that
01:10they don't seem to have made much progress.
01:12At least that's my readout of it.
01:16President Trump and his team, by which I mean Secretary Rubio and Mr. Whitkoff, had been
01:26pounding the table, I'm not talking about Lindsey Graham and that crowd, the people
01:31that work directly for Trump, had been pounding the table for a ceasefire as a prelude to
01:37negotiations.
01:38I suspect, and I wonder if you agree, that whatever President Putin said to President
01:44Trump, they now are of the understanding that, I mean, they're so close to winning, why would
01:49they engage in a ceasefire?
01:51I say that because they've stopped asking for it.
01:54I think that's probably true, and I think it's even truer than just the ceasefire.
02:00Putin and Sergey Lavrov have said again and again, as have other Russian spokespersons
02:05whose views I take for trustworthy, that the root causes of this conflict have to be considered
02:13first and foremost and almost exclusively.
02:16The root causes are the fact that we were going to take Ukraine into NATO.
02:22Anything that even smacks of that, whether it's a retention of a single NATO individual,
02:29clandestine or open, inside Ukraine, is anathema to Putin and the rest of the complex that's
02:36waging this special military operation.
02:38So you just don't have a starting point if you're Donald Trump, particularly if you're
02:43Donald Trump, because he has to come out of whatever negotiation he conducts with at least
02:49a patina of success.
02:52And there is no such thing in this.
02:55Chris, I want to play the clip from 2017 with two senators in Ukraine.
03:06I don't even want to mention their names because the colonel might leave the camera if he knows
03:12who we're playing, but you'll see them right now.
03:17Your fight is our fight.
03:182017 will be the year of offense.
03:27All of us will go back to Washington and we will push the case against Russia.
03:39Enough of a Russian aggression.
03:43It is time for them to pay a heavier price.
03:50I believe you will win.
03:52I am convinced you will win and we will do everything we can to provide you with what
03:57you need to win.
04:01I was wrong.
04:02It's 2016.
04:03Trump has just been elected.
04:05He just defeated Mrs. Clinton.
04:07He hasn't been inaugurated yet.
04:10Do you know what the hell they're talking about?
04:13We believe you will win.
04:15What war is going on in 2016?
04:18The two Republican senators are in Ukraine promising aid and promising victory.
04:24The same war that had been going on, Judge, since I was chief of staff to Colin Powell
04:29in 2002 to 2005.
04:32The same war.
04:33Just beginning then, just starting then, just being in a very seminal stage then.
04:38By 2013, 2014, in full, full bloom.
04:44With four-star generals riding their Harley motorcycles down to coordinate with the remnants
04:51of the Bandera group, what Putin calls Nazis, and very rightfully so.
04:56We were in this from the very beginning and we were in it to put Ukraine in a position
05:02to bleed Russia significantly.
05:04If they didn't bleed Russia significantly, and there were people who said that wouldn't
05:10happen, at least to take it to the extent that some sort of agreement would be made
05:15afterwards that would indeed allow all this expansion of NATO to continue.
05:20To include Georgia, to include all of Ukraine, to include other countries that were being
05:26contemplated at that time in the Caucasus.
05:30We're looking at the United States having made a decision not only to expand NATO, but
05:36to use that expansion to essentially try to take out Russia.
05:40Or to put it in such a position that it couldn't possibly ally itself with China or anyone
05:46else in the world and take us on when we then turned all of our attention to China.
05:50I wonder how many of those people to whom Senators Graham and McCain were speaking are
05:56still alive today.
05:58Look at those two.
06:00This is anathema.
06:02Congressmen, Senators particularly, should not be conducting foreign policy on their
06:08own in such a dicey environment as that one.
06:12But they do.
06:13They do, and they often do with the connivance of the White House.
06:17Well, the White House was the end days of Barack Obama.
06:23Trump wasn't yet inaugurated, but look, Trump must have listened to them because you know
06:27what happened in the first Trump term.
06:30That's the heavy arming of Ukraine.
06:33He doesn't want to talk about that now.
06:35It's what got him impeached, the negotiation over the armaments.
06:39But that's when the heavy armaments started to flow.
06:42Am I right, Colonel?
06:43You're absolutely right.
06:44And there was tension in the Obama administration, especially in the second administration.
06:50There was significant tension.
06:51Obama was making statements that made people think, like me, around him, that he had some
06:57sense.
06:58He was saying things like, we can't possibly start a war in that area.
07:04Russia has all the advantages.
07:05And he went through some of those advantages like he was a military man, like he'd been
07:09briefed by someone at the Pentagon who had a brain.
07:13So there was a slacking, if you will, of this strategy during especially the second term
07:19of Obama.
07:20But Trump came in and put it on front burner again.
07:25Trump listened to Mike Pompeo and Jim Mattis.
07:30You must know General Mattis.
07:32You must know Secretary Pompeo.
07:34And he obviously listened to Senators McCain and Graham.
07:37Yes.
07:38He listened to the Republican Party.
07:40I mean, you could say it that way because there weren't too many dissenters within the
07:43Republican Party.
07:44This reminds me very much of the Republican Party that opposed Harry Truman and Dean Acheson
07:51when we wanted to form NATO.
07:53And it was a close run thing to start NATO, to stand it up and to shift all the money
07:59that Truman allocated.
08:01People thought it was for the Korean War.
08:03It was not.
08:04It was for NATO.
08:05It was a very close run thing.
08:06But then after that, they turned into the most ardent NATO supporters you'd ever want
08:12to touch.
08:13And Trump had backed off that since.
08:15And John McCain was probably one of the earliest ones of those you showed there or of those
08:20that we would think about and recognize the name of today who joined this crowd.
08:26What will Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton and those guys do if Trump walks away from Ukraine,
08:33throws his hands up and said, I can't get anywhere with these people?
08:37That's a good question.
08:38That's a question several of us have been asking ourselves if Trump just divorces himself
08:43from the thing and lets it go on.
08:46They don't have any armies in Congress.
08:49So I think it would be very difficult other than covert operations, which Congress has
08:54shown a hand in making happen sometimes, to continue the conflict in a way that would
08:59be significant.
09:00Putin would eat them up.
09:04Where do you think I'm switching gears here?
09:07Where do you think Mr. Whitkoff is going to go or accomplish with the negotiations
09:15with Iran?
09:16I mean, he's he's moved the goalposts, but it was happy 3.2 in Richmond, the Ukrainians,
09:23the Iranians can live with that.
09:24It's the same as the deal that Trump trashed.
09:27It's the same deal that John Kerry negotiated.
09:30It was a happy deal.
09:31Bibi didn't want it.
09:32So they got Whitkoff to move the goalposts now down to zero.
09:38In the last few days, I've been astonished that my assessment and I have to admit my
09:43assessment was tentative, to be sure, of Whitkoff as the gray presence, if you will, the man
09:51who didn't have any diplomatic skills or experience, but who was showing some diplomatic skills
09:57was a farce.
09:58He's backed up completely.
10:00And I don't take this as just a negotiating tactic, as some have insinuated it is.
10:06This zero enrichment thing is a war is across its belly for the for the Iranians.
10:11They have devoted billions of dollars and lots of blood with the Israelis and us from
10:17time to time, killing their nuclear scientists and such.
10:20They've devoted a lot of treasure and a lot of blood to this complex.
10:26And under the nonproliferation treaty, the safeguards agreement and the additional protocol,
10:30they have every right to enrich up to a certain percentage.
10:34And there's plenty of reason to think that you could set up a regime where they could
10:38get enriched uranium that they needed further than the 3.75 percent or whatever.
10:44They could get it from a third country.
10:46That was a provision in the JCPOA, for example.
10:50So this is preposterous.
10:51This is war causing.
10:52And here's here's the other thing, Judge, that really concerns me right now.
10:56Netanyahu is in dire straits.
10:59Israel is in dire straits.
11:01Israel is on the verge of collapse.
11:03Militarily and politically, what's going to happen when Netanyahu decides that this
11:11is the case?
11:12And I'm told right now he's got some people who are braving the storm, as it were, and
11:17telling him that both military and civilian.
11:20When he realizes that this is existential for him, he's going to start the war with
11:26Iran.
11:27Then the question and I believe that in my heart of hearts, he will start this war with
11:31Iran.
11:32And then the question becomes, what does Donald Trump do?
11:34Because he said he will not join him if he starts it.
11:37I think the weight on Donald Trump in this country is going to be so onerous, so heavy,
11:43so incredibly powerful, he's going to have to join.
11:47Are we talking the religious Armageddon here?
11:49We might well be.
11:52Some crackpot by the name of Randy Fine, a Republican congressman from Florida, told
12:00Fox News that the Israelis should use nuclear weapons in Gaza.
12:07So this character, I can't even call him a gentleman, this thug, wants to unleash Netanyahu
12:14to slaughter two million innocent people.
12:17Some of the things we've heard coming out of the more right-wing elements in Netanyahu's
12:21government and elsewhere like that have just been astounding to me.
12:26It's like listening to the Nazis again, truly.
12:29It's like listening to Hitler's people, his worst people, once again, with the clarion
12:35call for the absolute total destruction of these subhumans, in this case, called Palestinian
12:41Arabs.
12:42Before, it was the Jews.
12:45I got to play this clip for you, even though we've played it many times.
12:48I don't know if you've seen this creep.
12:50This guy is a former member of the Knesset, and at the time a member of the Likud party.
12:57I know who you're going to play.
12:58We're calling for the slaughter of children, the slaughter of babies.
13:03Cut number 10.
13:04Every child in Gaza is the enemy.
13:06We are at war with the Gazan entity, the Gazan terror entity, which we ourselves established
13:11in Gaza, in Oslo, and in the disengagement.
13:15The disengagement that Prime Minister Netanyahu voted in favor of, that is the enemy now.
13:21Every such child to whom you are now giving milk in another 15 years will rape your daughters
13:26and slaughter your children.
13:27We need to conquer Gaza and settle it, and not a single Gazan child should remain there.
13:34Let's stop telling ourselves this deception just to score points in this game between
13:38pro-Bibi and anti-Bibi.
13:40This isn't about left or right.
13:42It's about winning this war, and it's about justice.
13:46When will we learn?
13:48When will we learn?
13:50Now, Mearsheimer, Ritter, and the others all say that this attitude is shared by most of
13:59the Israeli public.
14:00There aren't even any peace demonstrations in front of Netanyahu's house as there were
14:05last year.
14:07I think that's a little bit too encompassing a statement.
14:10There are some.
14:11I don't know if you know Joseph Avizar, who runs the IPC simulations every other Sunday
14:16in this country.
14:18Joseph has been in Jaffa for some time now, and he's been doing interviews and making
14:23pronouncements himself on videos all over YouTube.
14:28You can find a few.
14:29I admit there aren't a lot, but there are a few, and they're the few who get quoted
14:33in Haaretz saying things like, how can I raise my children in this country that kills babies?
14:40That's a quote.
14:41That's a direct quote.
14:42Haaretz is one of the few papers that shows this sort of language and this sort of feeling
14:47amongst Israeli Jews, but there are a few.
14:51I will admit that they're right in terms of the majority.
14:54You could have put SS chevrons on that man's lapels and dressed him in the black of the
15:02SS, the Schutzstaffel, and he would have been perfectly in place talking about his own people.
15:11Ritter, Ritter, Scott Ritter yesterday said virtually the same thing that you did.
15:18Ritter also went on to say the guy should be dragged before the ICC tried convicted
15:23and hanged, but he was very animated by what he saw.
15:30Look at what we've done though, Judge.
15:32The ICC is in turmoil right now.
15:34The ICC is falling apart itself because of the sanctions and the accusations we've made
15:40against the Chief Judge.
15:42They're having trouble even maintaining a prospect of being in existence in the future.
15:48We're destroying the entire fabric which we had a great deal of hand in creating of international
15:56humanitarian law in the world.
15:59I don't want to segue into another topic, but I want you to know what the chat room,
16:04the people that are watching us now are commenting on because Chris posed this question to them.
16:13President Trump called out South Africa for genocide.
16:16Will he ever call out Netanyahu for the same in Gaza?
16:20We'll have the vote by the end of your segment.
16:23I can't imagine that he will.
16:25He won't even call out this SS-like creep that we just played.
16:30He won't even condemn that.
16:33I hope the vote's 5,000 to one.
16:37It's absurd.
16:38How can you stop the killing of babies, Colonel Wilkerson?
16:43The only way you do it is you change the entire approach of the empire.
16:48We have to take a stand and we have to tell Netanyahu we are taking a stand and that we'll
16:54get rid of him post-haste if he doesn't recognize that and sees what he's doing.
17:00It wouldn't be that hard to do really for Trump if he had the intestinal fortitude and
17:05the guts to do it and most of all had the willingness to stand up against those on his
17:11own team who were going to object strenuously, if not publicly, I don't think they would
17:16publicly, but strenuously in the background and perhaps even withdraw funding.
17:22Tom Fletcher, whom you may know, the United Nations Undersecretary General for Humanitarian
17:32Affairs and Relief, told the Security Council that 14,000 Gazan babies would die of malnutrition
17:40by the end of this week.
17:43And Doctors Without Borders, Les Medicines Sans Frontières, and several other groups,
17:49Doctors Against Genocide, the people from the UN who are still there who are working
17:54humanitarian issues have all said the very same thing.
17:57I listened to one this morning coming from the area and the Israelis had said that lots
18:03of trucks were getting in and so forth.
18:05She essentially said there are four trucks, four trucks.
18:08There are hundreds lined up to go and they need 500 a day, Judge, 500 a day.
18:14Ray McGovern said nearly the same thing.
18:17He said they need 500 a day and the Israelis only let five in.
18:22Yep.
18:23Three, Colonel, three were filled with food.
18:27Two were filled with shrouds for dead bodies.
18:33As well they should be, I mean, in terms of what the reality is.
18:37Now, Whitcoff calls President Trump a humanitarian.
18:42Right.
18:43He's a humanitarian like, well, I won't say it.
18:49Go ahead, say what you're thinking.
18:50He's a humanitarian, he's funding the genocides, he's as culpable as Joe Biden.
18:57Absolutely.
18:58Absolutely.
18:59That's, people don't seem to understand that our complicity, in my view, and my view as
19:04a professional military officer, our complicity is more heinous than Israel's execution.
19:12Why is that, Colonel?
19:13Because we're enabling it.
19:15We're enabling it when we could stop it.
19:17In some respects, Netanyahu can't stop.
19:20He will go to jail if he stops.
19:21I mean, I can understand that as much as I revile it, but we don't have any excuse.
19:28We could stop it on a pin drop, but we won't.
19:34Christie, if you have any numbers on the chat room poll, text them and let me know, because
19:43I know the Colonel wants to know.
19:48Where do you see this going?
19:50I mean, if Trump doesn't get sick and tired of Netanyahu or develop some humanitarian
19:58sense, neither, which seems like it has happened, what will stop the slaughter of these babies?
20:06I think it's going to end, just as I said, if we don't do something really forceful and
20:11quickly.
20:13Israel is in peril right now.
20:14In every dimension of state power, it is in peril, economically, financially, militarily.
20:20It is in grave peril.
20:22Netanyahu is not going to let that persist.
20:26He is going to start a war with Iran, and he is going to demand and bring all the power
20:32he can bring to bear through his emissaries in this country, which are many and wealthy.
20:38He's going to bring all the pressure he can to have the United States join us.
20:41Trump may have said he wouldn't join, but Trump is going to face a hurricane if he doesn't
20:46join.
20:47Then we're going to be off to the races, and I mean, you could go to the Bible.
20:51You can go to the Christian nationalists and others and get these scenarios.
20:54You can go to the Jews and get these scenarios, the ultra-Orthodox Jews, and they'll tell
20:59you all about the Antichrist and all about who is the Antichrist and all about what has
21:03to happen and all this crap, and that's what we're creating.
21:08We're creating Armageddon.
21:11So Trump called out South Africa for genocide.
21:14Will he ever call out Netanyahu for the same in Gaza?
21:1852% said, no, he won't.
21:2140% said, hell no.
21:257% think that Donald Trump has a soft part somewhere deep in his heart and said, yes.
21:34That is a reflection on America that I care not to contemplate.
21:38Yeah, well, Max Blumenthal just spent three weeks in Iran.
21:45I can't wait for him to come back.
21:47I have so many questions for him, but in some of his reporting where he interviewed
21:52negotiators and diplomats, they have opined that Whitcoff seemed ill-informed and preoccupied.
22:06I'm told that the entire congregation, as it were, around them, Omani, Qatari, others,
22:14are absolutely shocked at the lack of coordination, the lack of planning, the lack of any scintilla
22:23of strategy and diplomatic acumen that exists with the US team.
22:29It is as if we are a new team every single time there's a meeting.
22:34Wow.
22:35And is this Rubio and company, the State Department, or is this Whitcoff and whoever supports him?
22:41I don't even know if he has a staff.
22:44I'm being told it's the group that's around him, and the group that's around him comes
22:48partially from state, as I understand it, and partially from the National Security Council
22:53and the White House staff otherwise.
22:56Wow.
22:58It's a terrible observation.
23:00Yesterday, we won't bother playing the clip, but yesterday we played a clip of President
23:06Putin awarding the highest honor the Russians have, the Order of St. Andrew, who was the
23:12patron saint of Russia, to the greatest diplomat on the planet, Sergei Lavrov.
23:18He deserves it.
23:19The United States doesn't have anybody like that.
23:24We haven't had anybody like that for a long time, or someone like Wang Yi.
23:28I put Wang Yi in pretty much the same category as I do Sergei, and I've known Wang Yi since
23:3319, well, since at least 2001.
23:39A brilliant man, and as talented and skilled in his own way as Sergei is, and that's what
23:44we're up against in terms of diplomatic skill and talent in the world, formidably so, and
23:51we have nothing.
23:52We have nothing.
23:53Rubio can be very glib and articulate and speak in attractive ways, but I don't think
23:58he has the breadth and depth of knowledge anywhere near these people.
24:04And if you saw him in the recent congressional hearings, he was cute.
24:09He was cute, and he was acerbic, and he attacked, and in some instances, I supported the attacks,
24:15especially against that nut who's moved over from raping the Pacific Northwest as a Senate
24:22Appropriations Committee head, and now he's over on the Budget Committee doing everything
24:26else you can, Patty Murray.
24:29But basically, he was very, very undiplomatic, and he's the Secretary of State.
24:36Wow.
24:37Let's play cut number 19, Chris.
24:41Here's Secretary Rubio going at it with Senator Gene Shaheen of New Hampshire.
24:52On the issue of Ukraine, here's what we can all agree on.
24:54There is no military solution to this crisis.
24:56It will have to end in a negotiated settlement.
24:59And the fundamental challenge we have in Ukraine is this.
25:01Russia wants what they do not currently have and are not entitled to, and Ukraine wants
25:06what they cannot regain militarily.
25:08And that's been the crux of the challenge.
25:10I don't disagree with that at one level, but on the other hand, what Vladimir Putin is
25:17doing now is playing for time, and he's playing this president like a fiddle.
25:21And the more longer he plays it, the more opportunity he has to gain territory in Ukraine,
25:29and the harder it's going to be to get him to the table.
25:31What we need to do is to put pressure on Vladimir Putin in every way we can to ensure that we
25:37can get them to the negotiating table.
25:40Well, I disagree with this playing with a fiddle analogy, because the truth of the matter
25:44is when Vladimir Putin woke up this morning, he had the same set of sanctions on him that
25:47he's always had since the beginning of this conflict, and Ukraine was still getting armaments
25:51and shipments from us and from our allies, and the European Union is about to impose
25:55additional sanctions, and the U.S. is looking for no Patriot batteries to be able to transfer
25:59from NATO nations into Ukrainian hands.
26:03And what the president is trying to do is end a war.
26:05He's trying to end a bloody, costly war that neither side can win, and people are dying
26:09every single day.
26:11But this notion that, I don't know, what has Putin gained throughout this?
26:14He hasn't gotten a single concession.
26:16He hasn't gotten a single sanction lifted.
26:17And the more time he gets without additional pressure on Russia, the more incentive he's
26:24got to continue to gain territory and continue to play for time.
26:31Does either of them understand the Russian mentality?
26:34Well, Rubio showed a little better understanding than Shaheen, and I know her well.
26:38I've briefed her personally in her office on the draft and the need for the draft and
26:42a whole bunch of other issues where I just threw up my hands and left.
26:47She was very naughty.
26:50Rubio at least showed some grasp of what's going on.
26:52But what I wanted to ask him, and what I would have asked him had I been the senator in the
26:56chair asking the questions is, you're the Secretary of State, how come you're not involved?
27:02Because he isn't.
27:03He isn't at all, as far as I can tell.
27:06Is this just Trump's way?
27:09I mean, the de facto Secretary of State without portfolio is Steve Whitkoff.
27:16The de jure Secretary of State, the one that was confirmed under the law, is Rubio.
27:22And all he does is testify and give pressers.
27:24Bingo.
27:25All right, I've got to show you one more thing, which really, I'm dying to hear your reaction
27:31to it.
27:33This is not a topic we ordinarily discuss, but it is something you and I believe strongly
27:38in, and that is habeas corpus.
27:41Here is Homeland Security Secretary Deporter-in-Chief trying to explain habeas corpus, cut number
27:5116.
27:52So, Secretary, what is habeas corpus?
27:55Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove
28:01people from this country and suspend their right to-
28:04Let me stop you, ma'am.
28:05Habeas corpus, excuse me, that's incorrect.
28:08President Blinken used it-
28:09Habeas corpus, excuse me.
28:11Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public
28:16reason for detaining and imprisoning people.
28:19If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American
28:24citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.
28:28Habeas corpus is the foundational right that separates free societies like America from
28:33police states like North Korea.
28:35As a senator from the live free or die state, this matters a lot to me and my constituents
28:40and to all Americans.
28:42So, Secretary Noem, do you support the core protection that habeas corpus provides, that
28:48the government must provide a public reason in order to detain and imprison someone?
28:54I support habeas corpus.
28:55I also recognize that the president of the United States has the authority under the
28:59Constitution to decide if it should be suspended or not.
29:02It has never been-
29:03Let us be clear, though, that this president-
29:05It has never been done without approval of Congress.
29:07Even Abraham Lincoln got retroactive approval from Congress.
29:12She's right, Ms. Senator.
29:15Wow.
29:16And that is one of the most ignorant women judge I have ever seen step forward and take
29:22a microphone anywhere.
29:24And she's Secretary of Homeland Security.
29:26I told you what Max Blumenthal called the selfie that she took when she was dressed,
29:35let me just say, wearing very tight clothes in front of half naked prisoners in that El
29:41Salvador jail.
29:43I can imagine.
29:45Prison porn.
29:46D squared for-
29:50Only Max could come up with that.
29:55I'm trying to give you some laughs.
29:57I'm not trying to ruin your weekend, but-
30:02Just showing me her face ruined my weekend.
30:07Thank you, Colonel.
30:08Thanks for all your time.
30:12And thanks for your thoughts.
30:13You have a great holiday weekend.
30:16I'm sure you have people whom you will remember who you knew were no longer around on Memorial
30:23Day and who died in a uniform.
30:26We're going to have a special ceremony for Rich Armitage over at Annapolis on this coming
30:34weekend.
30:35I hope.
30:36I hope the weather cooperates.
30:40But thank you, Colonel.
30:41Thanks for everything.
30:42Have a great holiday weekend.
30:44You too.
30:47So next week is a short week.
30:49We are all off on Memorial Day, which if you're watching us or listening to us from
30:54another country is an American holiday.
30:58It's the beginning of our summer season.
30:59It's this Monday.
31:01But on Tuesday, we'll have the Monday crew for you.
31:04So on this coming Tuesday, which is May 27th at eight in the morning, Alistair Crook at
31:1110 in the morning, Ray McGovern at 1130 in the morning, Larry Johnson, and probably one
31:18or two others not yet scheduled, but posted on time for you to know it in the afternoon.
31:23Have a great three days, whether you commemorate this holiday or not.
