Now here's 29 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:37,680 James Golden. 30 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,239 Speaker 6: Yes, Look, we're going to be dialing in on it 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,959 obviously as we get closer to the midterms. 32 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: I'm very bullish. 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 6: I'm absolutely convinced that we're going to grow the House 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,480 majority and keep the majority of the Senate the House, 35 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,239 and allow President Trump four years and not just two, 36 00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:54,280 because if we lose the majority, they'll try to impeach 37 00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:57,120 him and stop everything. We've got to articulate that. The 38 00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:00,000 thing is, Maria, We've had so many successes, so many 39 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,560 categories of things that we've achieved, that there's been a 40 00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:05,280 lot to talk about. We need to narrow in focus 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,719 in more. It's a great point on affordability. That's a 42 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:09,400 big thing for people, and we've been working on it 43 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:12,080 every day. And by the way, the Working Family's Tax Cut, 44 00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:13,879 the big beautiful bill that we got signed in a 45 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,039 lodg July fourth. The reason we did it so early 46 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,800 in the Congress is because we knew all the major 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,919 provisions of that become effective after January and people will 48 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,919 feel those positive effects. Wages will be rising, You'll have 49 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,280 more job opportunity and have more investment, more jobs. All 50 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,560 these things will happen and people will feel it before 51 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,400 they vote in the fall. So we're anxious for all 52 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,360 that to take place. 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,199 Speaker 7: Welcome my friends to the It's Friday already again edition 54 00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:44,719 of Both and Release rush Hour. That was, of course, 55 00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. He was on with 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,280 Maria walked along with and you know what, the shutdown 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000 is still making news. We didn't talk about it too 58 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,280 much the aftermath of the shutdown yesterday, but there are 59 00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:02,159 a lot of things about to shut down that are 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,159 still impacting the political scene in not just Washington, d C. 61 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,360 But around the country also. We are hearing more and 62 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,759 more from the left coast, the upper left coast of 63 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Seattle and the new mayor of Seattle who sounds like 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,879 the female version of Mam Donnie. In fact, there's a 65 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000 cut her words Mondomnie's words side by side that we 66 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,439 hopefully will be able to present to you today. 67 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,479 Speaker 4: It was an interview she did on CNN. 68 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 7: There is an amazing my Friend's column by Michelle cuttle 69 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:53,000 in the New York Times today. She apparently has watched 70 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,199 The Godfather knows the Godfather lingo. Many of you who 71 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,800 have watched The Godfather over the years will recognize why 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,000 I say that from the headline Democrats need a wartime concigliari, 73 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,319 Hakim Jeffreys isn't one straight out of the Godfather. Of course, 74 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,199 Sonny Corleoni complaining that Tom Hogan is not a wartime consigliary. 75 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,560 His dad had a wartime and I stuck with you, 76 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,319 You're not a wartime guide. Well, big article there about 77 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,519 their displeasure with ha King Jeffrey. In fact, in this 78 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:44,319 lengthy piece she cites the radio broadcast Charlomagne the think 79 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,199 well anyway, Charlomag She cites his name for his nickname 80 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,839 for Hakim Jeffries, which is not at all flattering. Another 81 00:04:55,879 --> 00:05:02,079 piece today from the Hill another Democrat representatives Sess Moulton 82 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:09,959 of Massachusetts slamming Chuck you Schumer and saying that Chuck 83 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,120 you cannot keep the Democrat team together. So the fallout 84 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:21,199 is still continuing. Johnson's interview we let off with him saying, 85 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,079 of course, why it is important for the Republicans to 86 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:31,319 maintain control of the House of Representatives and what will 87 00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:34,439 happen if they don't. He had a few other things 88 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:38,120 to say in this interview cut number three, and this 89 00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:42,319 is kind of yeah, needed to be said. I'm glad 90 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,360 he said it. I'm skeptical because I've heard it before. 91 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,040 But this is Speaker Johnson on what I and many 92 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,800 others have called for, which is a return to regular 93 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:57,800 order in the House, which means the government can, finally, 94 00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:04,720 after decades, stop being funded by these continuing resolutions. And 95 00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:07,360 this is what does Speaker Johnson had to say about. 96 00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 6: That anything passed Schumer and Jeffreys and the Democrats right now. 97 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,680 But we're going to try to take that weapon out 98 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,160 of their hand. And what I mean by that is 99 00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:16,399 over these next several intense days, the next couple of months, 100 00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:18,439 we'll be working around the clock to make sure we 101 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,360 get more of these appropriations bills through the process. As 102 00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:23,959 you know, part of the vote Wednesday night was a 103 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,600 minibus of a small package of three of those appropriations 104 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,959 bills that we've now gotten off the table. There's twelve 105 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,519 of them in total, so we're working right now for 106 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,240 the next package of those to push through the process. 107 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,519 Speaker 2: And get this. 108 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,199 Speaker 6: Done in the way it's supposed to be done, by 109 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,879 regular order. That's how we operate as good stewards of 110 00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:43,319 taxpayer funds. And as you know, Maria, it hasn't worked 111 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,000 that way in Washington for a long long time. Since 112 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,439 I became speaker two years ago, I've been trying to 113 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,720 force that like a boulder up a hill, and this 114 00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:53,120 is a big innovation. It seems like a small thing 115 00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:55,920 to cheer on, but in Washington, having gotten three appropriations 116 00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:58,759 bills signed in a law, three individual prose bills is 117 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,720 a big achievement. We're going to do more of those, 118 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,160 and hopefully we can get all that done by that 119 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:04,199 deadline in January. 120 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,199 Speaker 8: Well, you've been talking about this for a long time. 121 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,959 What would be an appropriate number of appropriations bills? Do 122 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,959 you think that would be done by the end of January? 123 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,399 I mean, what's practical. 124 00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 6: Well, the goal is all twelve, and I'm doggedly determined 125 00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:20,000 to make that happen. If we fall short and there 126 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,639 are two or three left on the table, then we 127 00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:23,720 would do a continued resolution to finish those. But it 128 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,160 wouldn't be anything like the stakes of this long nightmare 129 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,240 that we just went through because remember all the bills, 130 00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:32,199 everything would be funded. Troops and essential services and those 131 00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:34,240 kinds of things would already be off the table. So 132 00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:38,199 farmers and federal employees, border patrol agency tsa air traffic 133 00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:40,480 ConTroll they wouldn't have to be sitting around stressed out 134 00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:43,279 about when their next paycheck's going to come. That would 135 00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:45,399 have been taken care of, so there'd be minor details 136 00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:47,120 left at the end of the year. That's the goal, Maria, 137 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,079 for us to get all that done. 138 00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:52,279 Speaker 7: You know, there's a way this needs to happen, folks, 139 00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:55,720 But there's also something else that should happen. And I 140 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:02,879 don't know why this isn't obvious. Republicans have the House 141 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,480 and the Senate. People that's shut down is still fresh 142 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,959 in people's minds. I don't know why there isn't a 143 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,399 bill that's put forward today limiting the scope of what 144 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,160 can be shut down if continuing resolutions are not voted for, 145 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:30,439 since they continue this dereliction of duty by continuing running 146 00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:33,000 a government by c or the Congress can decide what 147 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:37,960 who gets We've seen that, we've seen it, who gets 148 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,120 paid and who doesn't get paid. In the event that 149 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:48,120 a continuing resolution is not signed, and they could simply 150 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,840 say all of those entitlement programs and by there was 151 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,759 some benefit by the way to this. I think people 152 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,600 were not completely aware of how deeply corrupt the SNAP 153 00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:04,200 program was until this shutdown came. There was benefit into 154 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,679 it exposing I hope Obamacare A word on that in 155 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:13,200 a minute. But for the future Republicans and Democrats, can 156 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,480 you imagine right now bringing up a build It says, 157 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,320 in case there's another government shut down by either party, 158 00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:23,519 you have to pay for the military. You have to 159 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,320 pay the troops regardless. You have to pay benefits that 160 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,919 keep people eating, no matter what. You have to pay 161 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,679 the air controllers, no matter what, you have to pay 162 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,360 airline security, no matter what. Even though tsa that's a 163 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,320 but they could define who gets paid and who doesn't 164 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,879 get paid and take the weapon of the government shut 165 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,879 down off the table by lessening the impact of it. 166 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:58,799 There's nothing preventing Congress from acting on that today or 167 00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:04,440 tomorrow as they go about, according to Speaker Johnson, trying 168 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,080 to restore regular order. 169 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: Now. 170 00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 7: One of the things that was snuck into this bill 171 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,240 has gotten a lot of attention is this carve out 172 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,240 that eight senators made so that they can sue the 173 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,519 government collect five hundred ges five hundred large if they 174 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,240 are if the government's found liable for the government snooping 175 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,600 on them during Operation Arctic Frost, and that has ticked 176 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:35,559 off people from around the political spectrum. Johnson was asked 177 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,159 about that on Fox That's Cut five with Maria this morning, 178 00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:40,480 and this is what he said about it. 179 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,799 Speaker 8: With that addition, it has created some divisions. Certainly, why 180 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,759 are you against that addition? 181 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,639 Speaker 6: Well, the optics of it are terrible. I don't think 182 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,480 you should do it retroactively. We all agree that Arctic 183 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,679 Frost was a horrific abuse of our judicial system and 184 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,320 it was an overreach, and we've got to bring accountability 185 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,000 to those involved in it, and we have to make 186 00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:09,559 sure that stuff never happens again. But I think for 187 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,200 sitting lawmakers to vote in themselves an ability to go 188 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,240 cash in on something like that, to me, it was 189 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,399 just it was just a really bad look, and I 190 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:19,919 think many of them regret it. I think some of 191 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,519 them are coming out now saying that they will help 192 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,279 us to repeel that provision. It should never been dropped 193 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:26,480 into our clean cr I thought, so hard were you 194 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,879 to keep the r clean totally nonpartisan. That was the 195 00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:31,759 whole point of this, you know, and they dropped it 196 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:34,080 into the last minute. So look, John Thune, Leader Thun 197 00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,360 is an extraordinary leader in the Senate. He's a dear friend, 198 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,240 trusted leader. 199 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:37,799 Speaker 4: You know. 200 00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 6: I love working with him. And I think some of 201 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,120 these things happen in the haste of a last minute 202 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:44,759 filing of a bill, and it just shouldn't have happened. 203 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:46,799 I think they regret it now. I think we'll fix it. 204 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 7: Well, I hope they fix it. It's creating an unnecessary problem. 205 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,480 All right, we have so much more. I'm going to 206 00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:55,240 take a break now and leaves some time on the 207 00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:59,720 other side of this, because Johnson also said some things 208 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,200 up about the Affordable Care Act, the Unaffordable Care Act, 209 00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:06,639 and I want to highlight that, and I think, once again, look, 210 00:12:06,799 --> 00:12:11,240 I am rare to heap praise on any Republicans. 211 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 4: It doesn't feel natural. It doesn't feel normal. 212 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 7: After all these years of being hoodwink duped by Republicans 213 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:26,399 in Congress. But Johnson's strategy during this shutdown was brilliant, 214 00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:33,320 and he added the final icing on that cake. Today. 215 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,120 Both nearlies rush hour, the fastest hour in American media, 216 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,519 urging you to stay with us. 217 00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 5: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush 218 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,639 Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative. 219 00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 9: On the Red Apple podcast network. 220 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 6: James Golden, known popularly as most. 221 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,039 Speaker 2: Nerdly, This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. Rush. 222 00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:24,159 Speaker 10: Hey, So to all the people who are telling all 223 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,960 the moms who are about to lose snap benefits to 224 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,559 just go get a job, can you tell me where 225 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,080 to go get one of those jobs? Because I need 226 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,559 one to I need a job in the parameters of 227 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,279 my kids' school working hours, school hours, school hours. I 228 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:39,039 need a job that I can clock in and out 229 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,679 of and be in the school pickup line by to 230 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,559 thirty pm every day Monday through Friday except for their 231 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,440 early days. So you have to let me off early 232 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,840 for that day so I can go pick up my kids. 233 00:13:51,919 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 7: Let me know, Judge Michael Snurgly fastest out on American media. Okay, 234 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,759 I mentioned Mike Johnson. I won't spend more time with 235 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480 this other than to tell you this. Mike Johnson did 236 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,039 two things that were just really incredible. He sent his 237 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,799 caucus home ten days before the shutdown. They stayed home 238 00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:22,200 until the shutdown ended, they voted on the Clean CR 239 00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:28,320 and got out of Dodge. One of the brilliant tactics 240 00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:33,639 showed results when none of them could get together with 241 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:38,960 Democrats and try to undermine what was happening in the 242 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,600 Republican CAU. They weren't there. They couldn't try to come 243 00:14:42,679 --> 00:14:45,919 up with their own legislation working with Democrats to try 244 00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:48,600 to figure out a CAVN because they weren't in DC. 245 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,679 The other thing that was brilliant, and he put the 246 00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:55,639 icing on the cake. Today he was asked by Maria 247 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Bartaromo about him not promising to hold to hold sessions 248 00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:06,120 or to even bring to the floor this business with 249 00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:12,840 Obamacare subsidies being expanded, and he said, no, I haven't 250 00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:13,759 made that promise. 251 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,039 Speaker 4: He says he. 252 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 7: Doesn't see the need to continue terrible policies. He says 253 00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:22,639 Obamacare failed. The American people did the opposite of what 254 00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:25,960 they promised it would do. The reason premium is the 255 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:31,240 sky rocketing these terrible policies. That's why this COVID area 256 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,960 of subbody was about. He said, Democrats created this on 257 00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,200 their own. He echoes everything we've been saying about it, 258 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,600 and so no, I'm not going to bring it up now. 259 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:42,159 This is going to upset a lot of people. Healthcare 260 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,360 is going to be an issue, and when these subsidies 261 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,279 start to right, it is going to be an issue. 262 00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:52,120 We will have more on that, we will discuss it more. 263 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,519 But I want to get to something else here. That 264 00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:59,559 is what's happening in Seattle cut seven. This was the 265 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:06,120 press the mayor elect of the city of Seattle. 266 00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 11: There is an awful lot that I want to accomplish 267 00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:11,919 as mayor. I want everyone in this great city of 268 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,960 ours to have a roof over their head. I want 269 00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:19,240 universal childcare and free K through eight summer care. I 270 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:23,000 want word class mass transit. I want great, safe, public 271 00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:26,840 spaces where kids can run around with abandon. I want stable, 272 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:30,960 affordable housing for renters. I want social housing. I want 273 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,120 what much more land and wealth to be owned and 274 00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:37,240 sewarded by communities instead of corporations. I want a robust 275 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:41,120 economy with thriving small businesses, great living wage jobs, and 276 00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:44,399 strong rights for workers. I want a city where everyone 277 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,759 has the basics of a dignified life, including healthy food, 278 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,799 access to healthcare, and supportive communities. I want a city 279 00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:54,480 where your health and your life expectancy and your children's 280 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,120 future doesn't depend on your zip code or your race. 281 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,000 I believe that I will be stepping into office with 282 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,359 a strong mandate to pursue this vision. I believe it 283 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,519 is notable that all of that money focused on attacking me, 284 00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,359 but not my vision or platform. And that is because 285 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,519 this vision and platform are supported by an overwhelming majority 286 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,359 of Seattle residents, as demonstrated by the resounding victories of 287 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,519 the other progressive candidates running for office in Seattle this year. 288 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,559 Speaker 7: Okay, free k through eight daycare, social housing, whatever that means, 289 00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:35,240 in addition to getting taking the wealth from the corporations 290 00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:40,640 and spreading them out to the people. Yep hers. By 291 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,039 the way she talks about this mandate, she won by 292 00:17:43,079 --> 00:17:47,279 less than two thousand votes, and there are quote unquote 293 00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:51,759 anomalies in the votes. We'll be back. It's sternly here, 294 00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:53,279 fastest hour and media stay with. 295 00:17:53,319 --> 00:18:00,519 Speaker 5: Us yet The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative. 296 00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 9: On the Red Apple podcast network. 297 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,759 Speaker 8: James Golden known popularly as both nearly This. 298 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,759 Speaker 2: Is the Rush Hour with James Golden, Rush. 299 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 7: James Golden Sternly with you here.

I promised it 304 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,960 earlier in the beginning. We have the mondmi and comparison, 305 00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:18,400 the Mondomie comparison to the mayor elect of Seattle, Kat Wilson. 306 00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:26,759 Kat was on with Aaron Burnett on CNN, and let's 307 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:29,160 see you have that one Carlos on CNN. 308 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 4: With CNN's Aaron Burnett, Cut eight and this is it. 309 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 12: So obviously you just mentioned some of the words that 310 00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,039 here in New York we heard a lot from from 311 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,039 the mayor elect heres or on Mondani right when you 312 00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:47,000 talk about affordability, but the word echoes don't end their 313 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,640 mayor elect. Let me play some. 314 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 2: Of them, the very clear twin crises of affordability. 315 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 11: We are facing an affordability crisis, truly. 316 00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:58,079 Speaker 4: Affordable homes, affordable home ownership. 317 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: This city is your city. 318 00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 11: This isn't their city, It's yours. 319 00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:04,079 Speaker 1: A new generation of leadership. 320 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 11: We can see with our own eyes that we need 321 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:06,920 new leadership. 322 00:20:09,839 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 12: I mean we sometimes will put what we call a 323 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,160 montage together like that. It doesn't get easier than that one. 324 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,160 I mean, it really does sound you sound so much alike. 325 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,920 I guess I'm just curious. Have you ever met him? 326 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,079 Have you talked to each other at all since either 327 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,920 of your victories, which are so important on coast to coast? 328 00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:33,799 Speaker 11: Not yet, although I certainly hope to, you know. And 329 00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:36,079 it's funny because when I decided to run in this race, 330 00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:39,079 which was in February of this year, I had never 331 00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:41,160 heard of Zorn Mandani, and so it was a fun 332 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,279 process over the first few months of my campaign to 333 00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:45,400 start getting text messages from friends, Oh, you got to 334 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,440 check out this guy in New York City. And so 335 00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:49,960 I really do think it's remarkable and also makes a 336 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,759 lot of sense, right, I think that there are some 337 00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:54,519 similar conditions playing out here in Seattle to New York. 338 00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, they're both Democrat party run hell holes, those are similar, enougher, 339 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,240 I want to move on other things. Okay, thank you 340 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,240 to very much, folks. Immigration, the battle of immigration has 341 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,400 still not gone out of the news. If you saw 342 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,720 the conditions, if you've seen video from what took place 343 00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:19,720 today in broad View Illinois eleven wouldn't surprise you, this 344 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:20,960 is what it sounded like. 345 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,599 Speaker 13: But I do want to talk with you about the 346 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,039 protocol of dealing with the crowd this big and did 347 00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:29,440 we even anticipate this is what it would look like. 348 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: I mean, they're breaking through now. 349 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,839 Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm watching this right now, why you know, live 350 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,400 on Fox. 351 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 9: And it does seem like this crowd is getting you know, 352 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,279 getting more violent at pushing back and. 353 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,559 Speaker 14: It's certainly not what we would call free speece. These 354 00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:47,319 are people that are deliberately provoking law enforcement, trying to 355 00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:50,640 have a confrontation. And you can tell just by their 356 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,920 you know, you see the science in the background of 357 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,920 open borders and other things like that. These are people 358 00:21:56,319 --> 00:21:59,519 that are determined. They don't care about the conditions that 359 00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:03,400 were people in how that's a pretense because they weren't 360 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,359 open borders and annesty. And I think when you look 361 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,039 at this, the big picture of that, I think is 362 00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:12,039 the worst part of this all is you have Jab Fritzker, 363 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,440 the governor of Illinois, and instead of saying ICE has 364 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,240 a legitimate law enforcement functions and they should be suspected, 365 00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:22,000 he is on the side of these rioters and our 366 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,200 column riders because they are seemed to be getting violent 367 00:22:24,519 --> 00:22:26,880 and on the side of people that are trying to 368 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,680 prevent ICE from doing a legitimate jobs. 369 00:22:29,799 --> 00:22:33,799 Speaker 7: There was in mass folks and they were rioting and 370 00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:36,440 this guy's exactly right, and they were trying to commit 371 00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:40,440 violence against ICE agents. It is just amazing to me 372 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,640 that we don't have a and I mean ICE was there. 373 00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:47,960 The police were there too, and arrest were made, but 374 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,839 this crowd was growing and it was a huge crowd. 375 00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:57,079 Another funny moment happened in it. This is a CBS 376 00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:02,039 reporter from CBS Cut thirteen that was at that rally 377 00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:04,799 in broad View, and you will hear it for yourself. 378 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:10,279 Speaker 4: And this is almost hilarious, unhappy, like, you. 379 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,079 Speaker 15: Know, a group out here just trying to show some love. 380 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,519 I can read a sign from here that says God 381 00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:19,640 demands freedom. A lot of people around here have signs 382 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,400 that have Biblical verses on them. But there are also 383 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,440 some signs here that you know, we cannot show on 384 00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:27,200 TV because they have curse words that are that are 385 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,160 you know, pointed, like those I saw were Fox. 386 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 3: I'm actually live on the air right now.

Why you're from Fox? 396 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,799 Speaker 7: She was from CBS and she was trying to report 397 00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:57,920 on them in a positive way. Although there are some 398 00:23:58,079 --> 00:24:02,400 signs that we can't signs we can't tell you show 399 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,640 you because they're filled with venom.

Would Burn, Oregon. 405 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,279 They're having an issue now. Very carefully listen to what's 406 00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:37,920 being debated at the city council because there's no proof 407 00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:42,279 of anything. There's just speculations that something could be happening. 408 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,200 And this is what took place at one of their 409 00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:46,759 town meetings there. 410 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 14: Well, we'll suspend the operation of the flock camera system 411 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,559 all in favor of second Night. 412 00:24:53,799 --> 00:24:56,839 Speaker 13: City of Woodburn is turning off its flock safety camera 413 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,759 system for the next two months after community members have 414 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,440 concerns over the security of the cameras. K twos Jennifer 415 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,680 Saying joins me live from the live desk tonight with 416 00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:08,519 more on why the cameras are causing controversy and how 417 00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:09,960 the company is now responding them. 418 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 16: Yeah, these are the cameras flow cameras the City of 419 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,359 Woodburn is now investigating now. Woodburn residents during Monday's city 420 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,640 council meetings said they are concerned that the cameras could 421 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,920 be handing over data to the Department of Homeland Security 422 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,920 to help with immigration enforcement efforts. This comes as community 423 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,920 members say they've seen more and more ICE agents around 424 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,599 town and are calling on city leaders to take action. 425 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,279 Speaker 4: What are you going to do for all the ice 426 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,880 drinks that are going on right now? 427 00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:43,799 Speaker 16: Woodburn residents are calling on Woodburn City Council members to 428 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,119 protect the community from federal immigration enforcement, raising concerns about 429 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,079 the role of the city's flow cameras may play in 430 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:52,960 ICE arrests. 431 00:25:53,279 --> 00:25:56,519 Speaker 6: Flock security cameras that are President and Woodburn contribute to 432 00:25:56,559 --> 00:25:58,000 the terrorising of our community. 433 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 16: We demand the end of the flock program in the 434 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,880 City of Woodburn as a result the city of woods. 435 00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:07,839 Speaker 7: Okay, so here's the deal. There's some ICE agents out 436 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:13,640 in Woodburn apparently, and that's enough. There's no evidence at 437 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,599 all that these cameras have been used or data is 438 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,119 going by. In fact, a little later in the report, 439 00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:24,799 the company says, look, we give people the people have 440 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,640 in the towns, they run it. They decide what they're 441 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:33,079 doing with these cameras. We don't dictate that anything. They 442 00:26:33,079 --> 00:26:37,039 want an investigation into the company too, we're not telling them. 443 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,880 And so Woodbridge is in charge of how the videos 444 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,759 from these cameras get used. But instead they cowtil to 445 00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:50,680 these people, oh we see more ice. Oh their cameras well, 446 00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:58,480 maybe maybe maybe the town is giving ice information and 447 00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:01,559 they okay, let's not using the safety cameras for two 448 00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:11,680 months for nothing. The hysteria, my friends cut fourteen. This 449 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,839 is happening in Charlotte. You know, President said there's gonna 450 00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:17,240 be You're gonna try to clean up Charlotte, North Carolina, 451 00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:25,559 and of course panic has panic has erupted. Here's a 452 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,920 local reporter from one of the news channels there with 453 00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:33,599 his own report to help stave off the panic, because 454 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,240 law enforcement might actually be coming to Charlotte, North Carolina. 455 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 17: This is Joe Bruno from Channel nine. There are a 456 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,440 lot of rumors right now about Border patrol coming to Charlotte. 457 00:27:44,519 --> 00:27:49,319 I have some confirmed information. Sheriff Garry McFadden tells us 458 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,279 that he is confirmed through two different federal agencies that 459 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,680 Border Patrol agents are coming to Charlotte. They will be 460 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,599 here as soon as Saturday, but they also may get 461 00:27:59,599 --> 00:28:04,440 here next week. Congressman Ralph Norman tells me that this 462 00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:09,119 operation that they'll be conducting is focused on known criminal targets, 463 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,000 but he also says that the agents aren't going to 464 00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:15,839 turn a blind eye to anybody else they encounter. As 465 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,319 a result of this, we are starting to see event cancelations. 466 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,640 The Colombian Chamber of Commerce is canceled event that was 467 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,359 supposed to be in. 468 00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 4: This parking lot. 469 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 17: It was going to be an event for entrepreneurs with 470 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,720 a poice for Tot's donation drive. The organizer tells me 471 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,519 that at this point it's better to just cancel the 472 00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:36,880 event because there's such fear in this community. 473 00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:45,079 Speaker 4: Why is there such fear? If why? Why? Why? 474 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 7: Okay, we leave you with this on our immigration section 475 00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:54,599 for the day. A return to Chicago.

Wes Moore is not, this 544 00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:33,880 is my opinion, of course, not going to let Gavin 545 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:42,239 Newsom have that spotlight by himself. The presidential primaries. On 546 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:49,599 the Democrat side, the primary season has begun. Marjorie Taylor 547 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:57,519 Green said today that President Trump is making a huge 548 00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:03,880 miscalculation by opposing the release of files tied to convicted 549 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,880 sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and even their attorneys said that 550 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,800 Donald Trump was the only one that helped them. So 551 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,480 I'd better be very honest with you, the Georgia lawmaker said, 552 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,199 let me back that up. She's talked to some of 553 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,159 Epstein's victims and alleged the women themselves and said that 554 00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:25,760 Donald Trump did nothing wrong. Even their attorney said Donald 555 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,159 Trump was the only one that helped them, So I'll 556 00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:30,719 be honest with you. It is something I don't understand. 557 00:35:31,079 --> 00:35:33,880 I think it's a huge miscalculation. I just stand with 558 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,320 the women and I think they deserve to be the 559 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,519 ones that we're fighting for. You and the Democrats, Marjorie, 560 00:35:40,599 --> 00:35:43,760 are the ones that are more interested in seeing Now. 561 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,320 Of course, the DOJ now has gotten involved, and this 562 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:53,239 is good. President Trump said today he's going to direct 563 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:59,880 Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein's ties with a number of Democrats, 564 00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:06,800 including Bill Clinton, and from what I understand, a prosecutor 565 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:12,559 has been appointed to that end. I just don't even 566 00:36:12,639 --> 00:36:17,960 know how to explain to certain Republicans why this Ebstein 567 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,559 fascination that they seem to have in light of everything 568 00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:26,320 else that the Republicans are trying and especially President Trump 569 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,840 is trying to accomplish, it just does That's what doesn't 570 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:31,639 make sense to me. 571 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:34,679 Speaker 4: On this day. 572 00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:38,559 Speaker 7: In nineteen sixty, Ray Charles went to number one with 573 00:36:38,639 --> 00:36:41,800 the US Singles Chart on the Singles Charts with Georgia 574 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:53,079 on My Mind.
