Speaker 3: I The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 4: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 3: Attention, dittoheads, attention bo scouts, the students, nerdly, It's time
Speaker 3: for the soul of excellence.
Speaker 5: He is a radio host here in New York.
Speaker 3: The Rush Hour is on the air. Rush Rush Now
Speaker 3: here's James Golden.
Speaker 6: Look at these videos coming out of places like Chicago.
Speaker 6: It makes me incredibly nervous that we're about to see
Speaker 6: people in law enforcement, people in uniform military, get nervous,
Speaker 6: get stressed, shoot at American civilians. It is very a
Speaker 6: very very stressful situation for these law enforcement and for
Speaker 6: the community on the ground. So it was basically a
Speaker 6: warning to say, like, if you're asked to do something,
Speaker 6: particularly against American citizens.
Speaker 7: That voice, ladies and gentlemen was one of the people
Speaker 7: that are being called the seditious six. Senator Elisa Slotkin
Speaker 7: last Sunday on ABC's This Week suggestion that law enforcement
Speaker 7: would begin shooting American citizens one of the reasons that
Speaker 7: they released the orders. That has not happened. Instead, what
Speaker 7: has happened is that law enforcement, the National Guard has
Speaker 7: been attacked. Today this is both Andy's Rush Hour, fastest
Speaker 7: hour in American media, and we start off sadly today.
Speaker 7: Two of the National guardsmen that were shot this afternoon
Speaker 7: we got word of it have passed away. They've died
Speaker 7: to Western Virginia National Guard members shot today near the
Speaker 7: White House have died, said West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey.
Speaker 7: He confirmed their deaths in a social media post. There
Speaker 7: is a suspect in custody who was also shot. Has
Speaker 7: injuries that are not believed to be life threatening. A
Speaker 7: source reports one National Guard member was shot in the head,
Speaker 7: according to a person familiar with the details of the
Speaker 7: incident who spoke to AP the Associated Press on condition
Speaker 7: of anonymity. The President of the United States has released
Speaker 7: a statement that the animal who shot the guardsmen will
Speaker 7: pay as deep price. God bless our great National Guard
Speaker 7: and all of our military and law enforcement. These are
Speaker 7: truly great people, the president wrote. The National Guard have
Speaker 7: been in Washington, d C. Since August, when Donald Trump
Speaker 7: issued an emergency order that federalized the local police force
Speaker 7: and sent the Guard troops in from eight states and
Speaker 7: from the District of Columbia. The order expired, but the
Speaker 7: troops have remained, and that has been to the consternation
Speaker 7: of some Democrats. I want to be responsible and not
Speaker 7: say things that are inflammatory. Despite the anger that many
Speaker 7: of you and I and feeling of utter frustration at
Speaker 7: the way that law enforcement in this country has been
Speaker 7: treated by the Democrat Party. There are videos on social
Speaker 7: media today of Saint Paul, Minnesota, near riot breaking out,
Speaker 7: people standing in front of ice trucks. They had to
Speaker 7: use tear gas, pepper and spray, and in some cases
Speaker 7: there was a woman with a cane standing in front
Speaker 7: of a truck and she was She was removed by force,
Speaker 7: and protesters got angry with that. We have seen people
Speaker 7: jailed now for threatening to kill ICE agents, threatening to
Speaker 7: kill law enforcement. We have also seen in the past
Speaker 7: few months the mayor of Chicago urged people to quote
Speaker 7: unquote protect their land and to make inflammatory statements that
Speaker 7: could be construed as there's no other way to say it.
Speaker 7: It could be construed as to perhaps take matters into
Speaker 7: their own hands. There are other ways to say it, actually,
Speaker 7: So we don't know a lot of the details surrounding this.
Speaker 7: There was one report and I did not confirm it
Speaker 7: came from the news agency, so I'm not going to
Speaker 7: say it until I can confirm it that this was
Speaker 7: an ambush. The National Guardsmen in involved shooting in DC
Speaker 7: with an ambush attack. It's what I'm reading. I cannot
Speaker 7: say for certainty that that was the case, but I'm
Speaker 7: sure by the end of the day more details will emerge.
Speaker 7: What we do know is this, the Democrat Party has
Speaker 7: been relentless and the allies in the legacy mainstream media
Speaker 7: have been relentless in portraying Ice and border patrol and
Speaker 7: to a lesser degree, the National Guard as a force
Speaker 7: against good, when in fact they are the opposite. There
Speaker 7: have been story after story. In fact, there are stories
Speaker 7: today about how the nation, about how Ice is tearing
Speaker 7: apart families, which is the common refrain unjustly, how people
Speaker 7: that are innocent are being kidnapped. You've seen all of this,
Speaker 7: you heard all of it. These are the things that
Speaker 7: are now being shouted in the streets. For enforcing the law.
Speaker 7: The same Democrats that have riled people up into fits
Speaker 7: of anger are quiet when American citizens are subject to
Speaker 7: law enforcement. They don't claim that people are being kidnapped
Speaker 7: when police make an arrest of criminals and separate them
Speaker 7: from their families. When people criminals are apprehended, none of
Speaker 7: these same charge as a level. But because we're talking
Speaker 7: about illegal immigration, for the most part, everything has risen.
Speaker 7: The other issue that comes up, especially in Memphis, in
Speaker 7: places like Charlotte Memphis, is that somehow there's a racial
Speaker 7: component which I find not only to be offensive, it
Speaker 7: is without question evil because what they claim. The claim
Speaker 7: is that when law enforcement goes into cities like Washington,
Speaker 7: d C. Where the National Guard was helping to restore
Speaker 7: some level of safety, when they go into places like Charlotte,
Speaker 7: when they go in places like Los Angeles, the Democrat
Speaker 7: Party has made a point of saying this is racial
Speaker 7: black and brown people. They never talk about the impact
Speaker 7: that black and brown criminals have made in making the
Speaker 7: black and brown people who live in these cities' lives
Speaker 7: totally hell and miserable. Never is that DISCUSSI. They never
Speaker 7: talk about the fact that black children can't play in
Speaker 7: brown children in their own neighborhoods and have a normal childhood.
Speaker 7: They never talk about the failures of big Democrat Party
Speaker 7: institutions like the teachers' unions and their impacts on their
Speaker 7: impact on the poor education that continues generation after generation
Speaker 7: after generation in these black and brown communities. No, it's
Speaker 7: just racist to trying to finally try and bring some
Speaker 7: law some calm, some peace into these neighborhoods. James Golden
Speaker 7: is thirdly pre Thanksgiving. Keep it right here, Do not
Speaker 7: go away. The Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush
Speaker 7: Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative.
Speaker 4: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 8: James Golden, known popularly as most Nerdly.
Speaker 3: This is the rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 9: Here's how to respond to the stupid things that your
Speaker 9: liberal family members say this Thanksgiving. We really shouldn't celebrate
Speaker 9: a holiday rooted in colonial violence. Well, Thanksgiving isn't a
Speaker 9: celebration of violence. It's a celebration of gratitude, which has
Speaker 9: been twisted by activists who need outrage in order to
Speaker 9: stay relevant. We're not going to rewrite American traditions because
Speaker 9: a handful of chronically offended people are running out of
Speaker 9: ways to play the victim. No human being is illegal.
Speaker 9: We shouldn't even have ice.
Speaker 7: It's cruel.
Speaker 9: No, what's cruel is pretending that a country can survive
Speaker 9: without enforcing its own laws. Every single nation on Earth
Speaker 9: has borders and immigration rules. The US is no exception.
Speaker 9: The cost of Thanksgiving dinner this year is so much
Speaker 9: higher thanks to Trump you should probably fact check before
Speaker 9: repeating whatever CNN fed you. Wells Fargo's own analysis shows
Speaker 9: that the cost of a ten person Thanksgiving meal is
Speaker 9: down like three percent from last year, and Walmart's numbers
Speaker 9: back it up. So yeah, go ahead and thank President
Speaker 9: Trump for this year's crisis. Well, I have nothing to
Speaker 9: be thankful for this year, because women have fewer rights
Speaker 9: now than they did a decade ago. Opportunity, education, and
Speaker 9: economic freedom have never been higher for women in America.
Speaker 9: Women aren't losing rights. You're just angry that the left
Speaker 9: can't use abortion as a shield for every political argument anymore.
Speaker 9: This is why we need socialism. I mean, I wish
Speaker 9: that zo Ron Mamdani were mayor of my town. No,
Speaker 9: you don't, Becky, I doubt that you could name your
Speaker 9: current mayor, let alone three members of your city council.
Speaker 9: Socialism destroys every place that it touches, without exception. It
Speaker 9: doesn't create fairness, It creates equal misery. If you want
Speaker 9: government control of everything so bad, then you are free
Speaker 9: to move somewhere that has already tried it and it failed.
Speaker 7: Heavenly Birthday, ay Day for Bob Babbitt, nineteen thirty seven.
Speaker 7: He was born Hungarian American. Basis famous for his work
Speaker 7: with the Motown studio band The Funk Brothers on so
Speaker 7: many records, including this one, Wore Edwin Star, Tears of
Speaker 7: a Clown, Mercy Mercy Me, Inner City Blues on Marvin Gay,
Speaker 7: What's Going On album, Just My Imagination, The Temptations, and
Speaker 7: so many more. Bob Babbitt, who passed away into twelve
Speaker 7: twenty twelve, remembered here Heavenly Birthday any Day. Also John
Speaker 7: McVie from Fleetwood Mac. We went in WITHDS Birthday today.
Speaker 7: James Golin sternly with you here. Thank you, Princess Diana.
Speaker 7: The CBS story says this. It is a CBS story
Speaker 7: that federal officials have said DC National guardsmen shooting was
Speaker 7: an ambush attack. Federal law enforcement sources say, and that
Speaker 7: is from CBS. We will have to wait and see
Speaker 7: more information, so we will will keep you updated as
Speaker 7: we have more information there is. I mean, folks, the
Speaker 7: rhetoric coming from Democrats has consistently from this administration ratcheted
Speaker 7: things up. I'm not going to say that that's what
Speaker 7: is responsible for today's ambush as it is being reported
Speaker 7: of National guardsmen. Yet we will have more information. But
Speaker 7: you heard Elizabeth Slockin in this Edition six claiming that
Speaker 7: law enforcement was going to begin shooting American citizens. You
Speaker 7: heard that. Play that again. Please Carlos, the one that
Speaker 7: we opened up with, make sure that we have this right.
Speaker 7: This was Sunday. This is what Elizabeth. I'm sorry not Elizabeth.
Speaker 7: Alisa slot Can, one of this Edition six, said on
Speaker 7: her appearance on ABC Sunday News show.
Speaker 6: Look at these videos coming out of places like Chicago.
Speaker 6: It makes me incredibly nervous that we're about to see
Speaker 6: people in law enforcement, people in uniform, military, get nervous,
Speaker 6: get stressed, shoot at American civilians. It is a very
Speaker 6: very stressful situation for these law enforcement and for the
Speaker 6: communities on the ground. Is basically a warning to say, like,
Speaker 6: if you're asked to do something, particularly against American citizens.
Speaker 7: We are about to see law enforcement and people in
Speaker 7: uniform shoot American citizens. She'd made that claim. Today, two
Speaker 7: Americans in uniform were shot dead, cut one Scott Jennings CNN.
Speaker 5: The FBI is now seeking interviews with the Democratic lawmakers
Speaker 5: who said to the military, if there is an illegal order,
Speaker 5: don't follow it. Aren't so folks, in the military not
Speaker 5: supposed to follow illegal orders.
Speaker 10: So this is an issue where obviously you're gonna have
Speaker 10: two groups of people that see this completely differently. I mean,
Speaker 10: when I saw that video, I was outraged for the
Speaker 10: President because it's obvious what the Democrats were trying to do.
Speaker 10: They were trying to create narrative that the President had
Speaker 10: in fact given illegal orders. Nobody's yet named an illegal order.
Speaker 10: All the people in the video went on TV and
Speaker 10: got asked, what are the illegal orders? None of them
Speaker 10: can name any illegal order. A Lesislaka, who's supposed to
Speaker 10: be the moderate and the smart person in that group,
Speaker 10: said well, you know, we have this smoothie a few
Speaker 10: good men. I mean, it was so unserious, but the
Speaker 10: point was clear. They're trying to program their political party
Speaker 10: half the country into believing that the president has given
Speaker 10: an illegal order, which has not happened, and so he's outraged.
Speaker 10: Every Republican that I know is outraged. The legalities of this,
Speaker 10: The investigatory part of this, I'm less sure about, but
Speaker 10: I'll tell you this, it's not good to treat the
Speaker 10: military like pawns. These Democrats shut down the government forty
Speaker 10: three days and didn't pay them, and now they're out
Speaker 10: here using them in this illegal order video, which is
Speaker 10: obviously political. I think some people you know, and our
Speaker 10: coalition are thinking they keep treating the military like pawns.
Speaker 10: It's very disrespectful to treat the military this way.
Speaker 7: It is very disrespectful to treat the military in this way.
Speaker 7: It is also disrespectful to treat law enforcement the way
Speaker 7: they have been treated, like they are the enemy of
Speaker 7: the American people. You see it playing out in the
Speaker 7: streets across this nation, where they are simply trying to
Speaker 7: do their job and their lives are threatened. And today
Speaker 7: two members of the West Virginia National Guard paid the
Speaker 7: highest price they can pay for their service. Their lives
Speaker 7: were taken from them. It is disgraceful. When we get back,
Speaker 7: my friend's Thanksgiving weekend is upon us, and joining us
Speaker 7: will be our very own historian, Dean Carrianis and we'll
Speaker 7: explore Thanksgiving. Don't go Away.
Speaker 3: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative.
Speaker 4: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 8: James Golden known popularly as both Nervely.
Speaker 3: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 11: I hate being in my twenties I hate going to work.
Speaker 11: I don't want a job. I don't want to work.
Speaker 11: I hate not working. I hate I hate everything. I
Speaker 11: hate breathing, I hate sleeping, I hate waking up. I
Speaker 11: just hate everything. I hate our president, I hate the world,
Speaker 11: I hate people, I hate everything.
Speaker 12: What is like?
Speaker 11: I just hate everything. I hate everyone. I hate everything,
Speaker 11: and I hate everyone. And I don't want to do this.
Speaker 7: You know, my seven year old, newly turned seven year
Speaker 7: old nephew came in my office while I was playing
Speaker 7: that cut, and he looked astounded. And I thought he
Speaker 7: was astounded by the language. He wasn't. He said, she
Speaker 7: hate God? And then he said God may punish her.
Speaker 7: And I said, no, that's not what God is about.
Speaker 7: God loves all of his creation. But the question does
Speaker 7: she hate God? Was so profound after listening to that.
Speaker 7: James Golden Snerdley with us the official Historian about Snarly's
Speaker 7: Rush Hour and the Saturday Vibe. He is the head
Speaker 7: hancho ofhistoryauthor dot com, one of my colleagues with the
Speaker 7: many years we spent with The Russlan Boss Show, where
Speaker 7: he was web producer. He is a columnist with The
Speaker 7: New York Son. He is a columnist you can find
Speaker 7: his work all over and an author. He's an amazing guy.
Speaker 7: Historian Dean and writer and producer Dean carryanis is with us. Welcome, Dean,
Speaker 7: how are you this afternoon?
Speaker 12: I am good. Thanks for having me, James, and boy,
Speaker 12: I hope that the response someday, but that woman can
Speaker 12: be that she feels God's love and that God finds her.
Speaker 12: I know sometimes people are uncomfortable with that, but that's
Speaker 12: what it's all about. And that's said to hear somebody
Speaker 12: like that. I know that we tend to hear a
Speaker 12: lot of people on the right that mock each other
Speaker 12: and not to mention people on the left. But that's
Speaker 12: a tough intro for me, so I want to get
Speaker 12: away and say something about it.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, it's fine. I'm glad you did. I mean,
Speaker 7: it's profound. And then one reason I play those things
Speaker 7: is so we can hear what people are thinking from
Speaker 7: across the spectrum. And I think it is sad.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and you think of a place like Canada where
Speaker 12: they have that medical medical assistance in dying with that
Speaker 12: cute little acronym made. Somebody like that can walk in
Speaker 12: there and certainly won't be discouraged, but can end their life.
Speaker 12: And you think, I know, you know this. We've been
Speaker 12: around a long time on this big blue marble, and
Speaker 12: you look back at your life and say, my worst
Speaker 12: day when I was eighteen, when I was twenty two,
Speaker 12: when I was twenty four, Who wouldn't trade it for
Speaker 12: a bad day or even a good day when you're
Speaker 12: long into two of you, you've had medical challenges that
Speaker 12: you've fought. We both watched what Rush went through. You
Speaker 12: trade that that nothing is permanent. And you know, my
Speaker 12: wife Kathy and my co author in the cookbook you
Speaker 12: were so kind of mentioned regional Greek cooking. She says
Speaker 12: to me sometimes get get thee behind me, Satan. She
Speaker 12: said it to me today. Her dad's a passed there
Speaker 12: by the way, or was he passed away or gone home?
Speaker 12: As they said about the Hutch the great Ken Hutcherson
Speaker 12: Russia's friends, Oh Sehawk's great. But yeah, And I said
Speaker 12: through her, you know I say that all the time
Speaker 12: when I'm going through trouble. I try not to blame God,
Speaker 12: I said, but I'm a little bit more profane to
Speaker 12: the devil. I don't think you know you don't want
Speaker 12: to curtet a prayer, but I say to him something
Speaker 12: that starts with an F and something at wry with
Speaker 12: you to the devil, because that's where the bad things
Speaker 12: are coming from. And I think we're coming up on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 12: it's the time to be thankful and remember that that's
Speaker 12: who we're being thankful to. That's who the Pilgrims were
Speaker 12: thankful too, not to the Native Americans, although there were
Speaker 12: there was help there. They had a great relationship despite
Speaker 12: a lot of the revisionist history. Things do change later,
Speaker 12: as we know, not everyone gets along all the time.
Speaker 12: But it's something that I think that leads into that
Speaker 12: clip of just somebody literally professing their hate. It's a
Speaker 12: terrible thing to hear somebody say. And I just hope
Speaker 12: that she can find some help. And I think that
Speaker 12: everyone out there, if of the prank, praise for her
Speaker 12: to find somebody who you know, to just have a
Speaker 12: revelation and not let everything get you so down, because
Speaker 12: the older you get, there's more things to get you down.
Speaker 12: Don't let it get you down.
Speaker 7: Amen to that. And one of the things you mentioned
Speaker 7: rush here, and one of the reasons that the reason
Speaker 7: I asked you to come on. Is I remember the
Speaker 7: first year I did this show, I read straight from
Speaker 7: Russia's book, his story of the First of Thanksgiving, the
Speaker 7: real Thanksgiving story. And you and I have talked about
Speaker 7: it in subsequent years and I've done it, but today
Speaker 7: I want you to just give everybody the synopsis. I think, Dean,
Speaker 7: you know Rush thirty years. Trying to encapulate all the
Speaker 7: great things that he did on the air is impossible.
Speaker 7: But if there's one thing that I know he had,
Speaker 7: and there were many, but one thing for sure I
Speaker 7: know impacted and the impact still lives on, is that
Speaker 7: he was the first national broadcaster to actually tell the
Speaker 7: American people the true story of Thanksgiving. And now you
Speaker 7: see that story being repeated in so many different places
Speaker 7: by so many different people, not only broadcasters, but people
Speaker 7: from a lot of different walks of life. And I
Speaker 7: wanted to remember Rush doing that, to say how impactful
Speaker 7: it is, and to have you as our official historian
Speaker 7: this year instead of me walking people through that amazing
Speaker 7: story that Rush lim Law told.
Speaker 12: Well, I've written about some of this at atmysun dot com.
Speaker 12: People can go find it and see the way that
Speaker 12: just in my small way, you do it on the radio.
Speaker 12: I try to have it in writing and to put
Speaker 12: forth Russia's legacy. All the things be taught, and not
Speaker 12: because it's anything in a partisan manner. Russia didn't tell
Speaker 12: this story to own the Libs, as a lot of
Speaker 12: people say, or to get clicks. He told this story
Speaker 12: because four people like that young woman that you started
Speaker 12: the segment with, who were so in despair or feel alone,
Speaker 12: who think nobody's ever had it as bad, and we're
Speaker 12: all prone to depression and feeling bad and thinking it's hard.
Speaker 12: Little stories like the ones that Rush tells. They're the
Speaker 12: ones he told of the Donner Party. How many times
Speaker 12: did he mentioned Donner Party? And they had the resort
Speaker 12: to cannibalism and the only thing they wrote in their
Speaker 12: diary was it was a particularly cold winter. And the
Speaker 12: story of the Mayflower is a story not of those
Speaker 12: beautiful pictures that people arrive after the Mayflower Compact is signed,
Speaker 12: after they arrived the second wave of migrants. Stirry call
Speaker 12: them of immigrants, and they're shocks that these people are
Speaker 12: almost naked, they're in rags, they're suffering from disease and death.
Speaker 12: And my column last year at the New York Sun
Speaker 12: was called how a girl named Remember she was born
Speaker 12: on the ship aged and then we know as she
Speaker 12: was five on the ship there were two or three
Speaker 12: children born on the Mayplower. Imagine, you know you're being
Speaker 12: basically cargo under there age five and her fellow pilgrims
Speaker 12: endured the crossing of the North Atlantic to reach America.
Speaker 12: And this is something I've learned from russ. Just look
Speaker 12: at these people, they're not just names. You look at
Speaker 12: William Bradford and what did he write in his diary?
Speaker 12: And thank god he kept a diary, more details than
Speaker 12: the daughter party. And they didn't have much more to
Speaker 12: eat than the din of course the things that they
Speaker 12: brought with them, the food. I would encourage you to
Speaker 12: go back and you can read that column at ys
Speaker 12: A Coma, find it anywhere. I don't want to sound
Speaker 12: like I'm just plugging myself. It's just because I'm passionate
Speaker 12: about that story. Another one was about capitalism paving the
Speaker 12: way for them, and that's what this was a story of.
Speaker 12: And not because like people that are advocates of communism,
Speaker 12: they want to control and they want to perfect humanity,
Speaker 12: they have this god complex. But because we know that
Speaker 12: this is the best system, is capitalism. And that's what
Speaker 12: the Pilgrims learned. They tried in the beginning, as Rush
Speaker 12: would tell you after year, to have everyone have an
Speaker 12: equal share, to have everybody work for everybody else, equal
Speaker 12: plot of land. And what happened, what always happens with
Speaker 12: communism and socialism, is young men. That was the William
Speaker 12: Bradford quote. He felt, why should we carry? They thought
Speaker 12: it an injustice that they should carry for the wives
Speaker 12: and children of other men. So since they were getting
Speaker 12: the same share anyway, they would just lounge around there,
Speaker 12: which is considering there were no bars, no football, nothing
Speaker 12: they could do. But still they wouldn't work. And it
Speaker 12: wasn't until William Bradford decided, we're going to try something
Speaker 12: completely different. We're going to give everybody a little plot
Speaker 12: of land, let them raise what they want on it,
Speaker 12: let them have the profits from what they sell. And
Speaker 12: this is when they began to be able to trade
Speaker 12: with the Native Americans. And because they had a surplus,
Speaker 12: that's what it made. That's what all those hands working.
Speaker 12: Because you say, hey, if I get up out of
Speaker 12: bed this morning, go plant some more crops to weed
Speaker 12: my garden. I'm going to get more vegetables and maybe
Speaker 12: I can sell some to Johnson across the street. He's
Speaker 12: crazy for broccoli. I'll sell him some broccoli and he'll
Speaker 12: trade me one of his cows or maybe his daughter.
Speaker 12: This was the custom at the time. So that's the
Speaker 12: story in a nutshell, and I think that maybe people
Speaker 12: can hear me lighting up about it, or maybe when
Speaker 12: they read my words about it, I hopefully bring it
Speaker 12: to life, because it is such an amazing story. You
Speaker 12: look at the pilgrims and you say, boy, the buckled
Speaker 12: shoes they didn't have, and the hats by the way,
Speaker 12: which they didn't have. You say, they it must have
Speaker 12: been pretty easy. And then you are negative with them.
Speaker 12: People think, well, they're the harbingers of genocide. They weren't
Speaker 12: the first arrivals. For one thing. They did have very
Speaker 12: good local relations with the native people. But it reminds
Speaker 12: you that they were just like us. They had times
Speaker 12: in the belly of that ship where it breaks apart,
Speaker 12: it cracks the main beam in it, and they thought,
Speaker 12: this is it. It's over. We're dead. I hate this
Speaker 12: and don't think that even though they were religious pilgrims,
Speaker 12: they didn't cry out to God and say, what's up?
Speaker 12: We're going on this marble trip in this ship that
Speaker 12: was never meant to go to sea, just so we
Speaker 12: could praise your name and worship the way that we
Speaker 12: feel called to that you would want, where are you
Speaker 12: helping us? God? This really stinks. But they didn't lose
Speaker 12: that faith, and they still had learning to do when
Speaker 12: they got here, and they evolved to use the popular word.
Speaker 12: And I think when we condemn people when we aren't
Speaker 12: thankful enough, we don't work on ourselves. We forg yet
Speaker 12: that we all have that capacity. We may say or
Speaker 12: do or believe something today that we say the next day, Gods,
Speaker 12: I wish I hadn't said, done, or believe that you
Speaker 12: could kind of repudiate it. And that's the human story.
Speaker 12: That's the story of thanksgiving, and that's what they give
Speaker 12: thanks for, is that after all of those trials and tribulations,
Speaker 12: and there were so many of them, all that death,
Speaker 12: the starving, the scurvy, the everything was wet, The clothes
Speaker 12: were wet all the time. Forget about having a bathroom,
Speaker 12: forget about aldo deck. There was no Julie up there
Speaker 12: from love boat or go for your purser. It was
Speaker 12: a hard, hard trip. They were shipped not like cattle,
Speaker 12: but with the cattle and pigs and sheep. They had
Speaker 12: a little less than the size of a grave plot
Speaker 12: there for each passenger. There's no privacy at all. They
Speaker 12: went through all of that, And I think that that's
Speaker 12: why I love history, That's why I like to look back.
Speaker 12: It reminds me if I'm a little bit upset that
Speaker 12: my Wi Fi goes down, if I have trials and tribulations,
Speaker 12: I don't like who the president is, I don't want
Speaker 12: that to affect me. I'm thankful that I live in
Speaker 12: this time. I don't have to get on a rickety ship.
Speaker 12: I have liberty and freedom in America, and I have that,
Speaker 12: and I have all that plenty, by the way, because
Speaker 12: of what the Pilgrims learned and wrote down, and just
Speaker 12: for the sake of telling the story accurately, I'm really
Speaker 12: appreciative that you keep the true story of Thanksgiving alive
Speaker 12: because it's not to give a bias like I know this.
Speaker 12: This current ken Burns documentary is causing a lot of
Speaker 12: people to complain. And you know, I didn't like his
Speaker 12: last one because guess what he wrote the Freedman out
Speaker 12: of the story about Gettysburg. That probably wasn't his last.
Speaker 12: But in order for him to tell the story of
Speaker 12: Gettysburg and all this reconciliation and the handshakes, what did
Speaker 12: he have to do? He had to ignore the plight
Speaker 12: of black Americans at the hands of Jim Crow and
Speaker 12: a lot of those well ken Burns.
Speaker 7: I don't even want to get into the whole ken
Speaker 7: Burns things. I just wanted to because that's a whole
Speaker 7: discussion that you, believe me, one day I can't wait
Speaker 7: to have, especially about some of the other documentaries that
Speaker 7: have left people out that didn't make for the good story.
Speaker 7: But this story of thanksgiving that Rush brought out, I
Speaker 7: think is so important and I wish that it became
Speaker 7: the institutional story that is taught in schools. I know
Speaker 7: some schools have adopted it because it is factual. It
Speaker 7: is based on the history of what actually happened. It's
Speaker 7: not the feel good stories. The Pilgrims failed, the Indian
Speaker 7: saves them, and they were so thankful to the Indians
Speaker 7: they sat down for a meal with them. That's not
Speaker 7: what happened here. But at any rate, Dean, it is
Speaker 7: a remarkable story, and I thank you for spending the
Speaker 7: time with us to share those memories of it. Where
Speaker 7: again can people find your Dean.
Speaker 12: They can find me at historyauthor dot com, my columns
Speaker 12: at nysun dot com most frequently, and you can find
Speaker 12: me on X that history Dean, because I'm not going
Speaker 12: to make anyone spell Carrie anis.
Speaker 7: Dean, thank you so much for joining us. I just
Speaker 7: want to again give thanks for our time that we
Speaker 7: spent with Rush. It was monumental and all of us
Speaker 7: in the Rush alumni will never forget the times that
Speaker 7: we spent there, the times that we spent with each
Speaker 7: other and it and the good that came out that
Speaker 7: is still living through that experience of being with the
Speaker 7: great Rush Limbaugh.
Speaker 12: Amen to that, I will say, And also thanks for
Speaker 12: the audience all the people we still hear from who
Speaker 12: enabled us to have the greatest jobs in the world.
Speaker 12: We are thankful to all of you. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 7: Amen to that. Dean Boom. James Golden Snartly, thank you, Dean.
Speaker 7: Jancarrianisstoryauthor dot com our official historian here at both Newley's
Speaker 7: Rush Hour. James Golden Snurdly pre Thanksgiving. Keep it right here,
Speaker 7: do not go away.
Speaker 2: Rush.
Speaker 3: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush
Speaker 3: Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 4: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 3: It's the Rush Hour with James Golden. Now your's James Golden,
Speaker 3: breaking news.
Speaker 7: Ladies and gentlemen. We have with us Red Apple Media
Speaker 7: News director James Flippin with more on the story of
Speaker 7: the two National guards men. We're shot this afternoon. Good afternoon, James, Hey.
Speaker 8: Good afternoon.
Speaker 12: Bo.
Speaker 7: So yeah.
Speaker 8: In essence, this is a shooting that happened in downtown
Speaker 8: d C at the corner of seventeenth and Iye Street
Speaker 8: near Farragut Square in the nation's capital. The White House
Speaker 8: briefly went on lockdown. But President Trump, we know, is
Speaker 8: in Florida. Vice President j d Vance is not in
Speaker 8: the capital either.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 8: The twist within the last hour or so bo was
Speaker 8: that West Virginia Governor Pat Morrissey came out and said,
Speaker 8: sadly he can confirm that these National Guard members who
Speaker 8: are from West Virginia had died. Since then, that statement
Speaker 8: was actually retracted by the governor who said, we have
Speaker 8: received conflicting reports. We just had about a half hour
Speaker 8: press conference from Washington, d C officials, including Mayor Muriel
Speaker 8: Bowser and also FBI Director Cash Bettel was there saying
Speaker 8: right now, both National Guard members are being treated in
Speaker 8: the hospital in critical condition, so the initial report that
Speaker 8: they had died not true as of this time. The
Speaker 8: Mayor of d C, Muriel Bowser, saying this was a
Speaker 8: targeted shooting. We've seen photos from overhead cameras, maybe people
Speaker 8: up in office towers taking photos of the scene. A
Speaker 8: suspect who was taken into custody, strapped to a gurney
Speaker 8: while naked with a long black beard. But we don't
Speaker 8: know anything about the motive other than the fact that
Speaker 8: police and the Mayor of DC have said this was
Speaker 8: a targeted shooting. I also heard one of the cops
Speaker 8: talking about the shooter coming around the corner and opening
Speaker 8: fire at the National Guard members who were apparently armed,
Speaker 8: and fire was returned. The suspect in this case was wounded.
Speaker 8: So that's the latest that we know. In essence. The
Speaker 8: big headline bow was Patrick Morrissey, the governor of West Virginia,
Speaker 8: said that the two Guard members had died as of now.
Speaker 8: We're actually hearing they're still being treated at the hospital
Speaker 8: in DC.
Speaker 7: That is a heck of a great story so far
Speaker 7: for those people praying and hoping that somehow the worst
Speaker 7: has not happened. This is just great news hopefully, And
Speaker 7: we don't know, of course what's going to happen. Being
Speaker 7: shot in the head, of course is what we heard.
Speaker 7: At least one member was shot in the head, so
Speaker 7: we don't know what how it has to be a
Speaker 7: serious injury. But hopefully then this at least provides a
Speaker 7: ray of hope.
Speaker 8: Yeah, hoping for a Thanksgiving miracle.
Speaker 7: Bo, Thank you, James Flipping, Thank you for coming on
Speaker 7: and telling us that news got it f thank you.
Speaker 7: There are prayers up already. Please God give us a miracle. Huh,
Speaker 7: we gotta go. I'm off tomorrow, folks. May God bless
Speaker 7: protect each and every single one of you, your families,
Speaker 7: your loved ones, love and gratitude for your being here
Speaker 7: with me, allowing me to be with you, God willing,
Speaker 7: I will be back Friday, happy Thanksgiving and praying for
Speaker 7: our National guards men and all of our troops in
Speaker 7: law enforcement and Harm's way. God bless you.
