Speaker 3: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative on
the Red Apple podcast Network. Attention getowheads, Attention bow scouts.
Speaker 4: The pseudonym nerd.
Speaker 5: It's time for the soul of excellence.
Speaker 6: He is a radio host.
Speaker 7: Here any Yorpe.
Speaker 3: The Rush Hour is on the air, Rush right now.
Here's James Golden.
Speaker 8: With this announcement, seventeen of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies,
representing eighty percent of the branded drug market, have now
agreed to sell their drugs to American patients at the
lowest prices anywhere in the world.
Speaker 6: To have the lowest prices in the world.
Speaker 8: This will resulting the largest drop in prescription drug prices
in the history of the United States of America.
Speaker 6: I mean, it should be front page news, but it
won't be.
Speaker 9: Welcome, my friends, to the Thursday edition of both nervelies
Rush Hour, the fastest hour in American media. That was
President Trump at the Oval Office today. He had another
This was quite the amazing day over there. And by
the way, yes, already prescription drug prices are going on.
I don't see the stories about it, but he is
pressing for more affordability and that's what the event was about,
affordability and healthcare. At the White House today, he talked
about that. He also talked about bringing on They have
in this administration reduced the amount of time it takes
to get drugs through the FDA, and Carlos, that second
cut I sent you from Trump. It's a little bit longer,
but he talked about the impact of that, and I
want you to listen to that here.
Speaker 5: Also at the White House today, I'm.
Speaker 8: Also announcing that the FDA has just approved a new
drug from Regeneron called ohtarmony, a gene therapy curing a
rare disease that causes deafness.
Speaker 6: People are totally deaf, and it's amazing. I've seen some
work on it. It's actually hard to believe. We're going
to talk about it in a minute.
Speaker 8: Normally, cures for rare diseases can who has millions of
dollars and.
Speaker 6: Really the results aren't that good.
Speaker 8: But in this case, I'm pleased to say that Regenera
will be giving this away for free for a period
of time, for free. And here with us as two
year old Travis Smith. He was born deaf. Was he
totally deaf? This is one hundred percent. He was one
hundred percent, but he took this miracle cure. And now
I can hear his mom, Sierra say I love you,
and Sierra.
Speaker 6: Could you maybe say a few words. That's really incredible.
Speaker 10: It's absolutely incredible. Regeneron works miracles. Yeah, he didn't know
his name, he couldn't hear me tell him how much
I love him. And now with Regeneron and this amazing surgery,
he can listen to music and he loves it, and
he loves to dance and he loves instruments. And I'm
so proud of him. He's been so brave through all
of this. And yeah, now we can hear and as
a bright future ahead of him. And I'm so thankful
to everybody on the re general team.
Speaker 6: That's incredible. I mean, even the fake has to be
impressed with.
Speaker 9: Yeah, fake news isn't impressed with much President Trump. That
one really struck a nerve with me because, of course,
watching Russia Lombaugh do his radio show with the help
of cochlear implants for most of his syndicated career, which
is just amazing to me, you know, and wondering if
this kind of drug and these kind of drugs that
are coming up now will help with gene or related
His was like an immune immune thing, immune system thing
that caused his deafness. But I wonder if it's the
same in the same I don't know whether it's in
the same sort of field as this new drug regeneralund
that a president was just talking about. But anyway, this
is great news and it will not receive a lot
of coverage as it does not now on today's program,
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to dive a little bit
deeper into this s the Southern the sp LC, the
Southern Southern poverty of leadership a deal, because this is
a huge story, and it's huge in that for decades now,
the news media has treated Republicans that have objected to
what liberals do as kooks and as crazies. So when
Charlottesville happened, for instance, and you had people online saying, look,
there's something wrong here, this is like a false flag operation,
they're totally ignored. They were totally ignored and in fact
reviled for those remarks. And then you remember Joe Biden,
and the mainstream media took out of context Trump's words
and said pretty much that Trump was saying that the
white supremacists were fine people, and that's not at all
what he was saying, and it was twisted out of
words of political gain. People objected to that they weren't
heard against this giant mainstream medium machine that is built
to set the narratives of political discourse in America. Well,
now this story represents, and other stories that are happening
represent a dentt in the armor of the narrative. The
SPLC has been regarded by conservatives for years as a
rogue organization because they were used politically to demean conservative groups,
including Moms for Liberty, including Turning Point USA, including a
host of others. Anytime a conservative activist group started organizing
and going before the public to press their point of view,
in many cases they were demonized. And you remember, please
remember that it didn't just happen with the SPLC labeling
them help. It happened inside the administration. It happened during
the Obama administration, with the IRS and with Lois Lerner
and others pretty much targeting conservative activist groups and going
to war against them. It happened continue to happen with
de banking of conservatives. It continued and continued to happen.
And this is the first time in a case that
can be if these alleged charges are proven without a
doubt and indication of just how this war against American
conservatives has been waged from the left. Let's go to
cut one Cash Patel, who was by the way, targeted
by another left wing publication, The Atlantic this month right
before this announcement came out. The timing on it, trust me, Well,
you don't have to trust me, but the timing on
it to me was suspect. And I said it earlier
this week. I recognize a political hit when I see one.
I've been doing this a long time and this Atlantic
article was a political hit on Cash Pattel. Now, when
I say political hit, I don't mean to say that
every piece of reporting in it is false.
Speaker 5: There could be some truth to some things. I don't know.
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that I know
everything about Cash Ptel's life that I know he wouldn't
do or would do certain things I don't know. But
what I do know is that this was a hit.
It was a designed publication with a specific goal in
mind to discredit him. And whether he deserves discrediting or not,
I'm not saying, but it is a hit. And I
said it's a hit. And the day that I started
talking about, within hours we got in fact, during the show,
as the indictments came up, we started learning about it.
I said, now I understand why Atlantic was hitting Cash Patel.
Speaker 5: Were they?
Speaker 9: And this is Cash Pattel now on this story. He
was on Fox on the SPLC story, and.
Speaker 11: He doesn't lie. The charity that supposedly fought the clan
funded the clan. The charity that supposedly fought Neo Nazis
funded Neo Nazis. The Southern Poverty Law Center ran a
methodical calculated scheme to defraud their donor base of three
million dollars and lied to them and used an illicit
banking structure system to create shell companies to hide their
money and who it was being sent to, specifically for
the reason to sow discord and hate into our society.
This is the ultimate definition of hipocrips. And if you
look at the indictment produced by the Department of Justice
and the FBI, you will see that these banking institutions
tied directly the funding mechanisms in which the Southern Poverty
Law Center used to fund at least eight hate groups.
They supposedly wanted to take out, but they were paying
the very villains of our society they supposedly wanted to
protect us from.
Speaker 12: That's the ultimate hypocrisy.
Speaker 9: Now I'm gonna take a break right here because i
want to get a little bit more in depth, because
this goes deep.
Speaker 5: Folks.
Speaker 9: They're not just funding them, they were making money from it.
And that is the important component to remember here too.
This wasn't just that. This is a multi pronged attack
on conservatives and on the truth, and behind it was money.
James Golden snurbly, We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Rush.
Speaker 3: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush
Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 13: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 4: James Golden, known popularly as both Snarl.
Speaker 3: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 7: Rush.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I saw the indictment yesterday. I saw the Acting Attorney
General and FBI director do a press conference on it.
It was quite shocking to me to learn of the
egregious violations of the law of the Southern Poverty Law
center Wards committing and I think that's a story that
should be on the front page of every newspaper in
this country because they've obviously been duping their supporters and
the American taxpayers for far too long. It's a criminal organization, clearly,
and that's not our DOJ saying that, or Todd Blanche
saying that that's a grand jury indictment saying.
Speaker 9: That was Caroline Levitt. I want to play for you
a what I thought was Folks in this media industry,
we use the word package when you have multiple elements
inside a news story. Now, CBS did a package on
CBS News on the SPLC. It runs almost two minutes.
I want to play the CBS package because I thought
it was done exceptionally well, and I haven't said that
in a long time about a CBS package, but here
it is.
Speaker 15: Forty years ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center bankrupted the
Klan and later recovered millions from neo Nazi groups with
lawsuits representing victims of violence. But Tuesday, the tables turned.
The Justice Department charged the organization with fraud for allegedly
misleading donors and line to financial institutions. By paying members
of violent extremist groups millions of dollars to act as informants.
Speaker 12: The SPLC was not dismantling these groups, it was instead
manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources
to stoke racial hatred.
Speaker 15: Including the indictment. Alleges a leader of the twenty seventeen
Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, who quote attended
the event at the direction of SPLC, made racist postings
under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation
to the event for several attendees. But Law Center interim
president Brian Fair said the group had long used informants
and called the indictment a political attack by the Trump administration.
Speaker 4: They have made no secret of who they want to
protect and who they want to destroy.
Speaker 15: You have to wonder if this attorney Scott Frederickson question
the Justice Department's legal theories.
Speaker 16: Can the federal government persuade a jury that the Southern
Poverty Law Center was out there funding extremism for its
own purposes, manufacturing racism, and that's hard to believe.
Speaker 6: Obviously they'll have their.
Speaker 15: Day in court, but there have been calls to investigate
the Law Center for years. In nineteen ninety five, the
Montgomery Advertiser was the finalist for the Pulitt Surprise for
articles alleging that the center was misleading donors and wasting
their money. And more recently, critics say that it's hate
watch list of extremists includes many mainstream conservatives.
Speaker 3: Tony jan thank you very much.
Speaker 9: Now, there's a lot to unpack in that. So let
me just say this. If you look at what is
being alleged right now, it turns out that and please
hear me when I say this. Two, If this is true,
hate has become a big business. Hate is a business, folks.
After Charlottesville and the allegations there, the SPLC knew they
were doing these hateful posts. They funded travel to this
rally that was then used to target Trump as some
kind of racist and everything else. They knew. But what
happened with the SPLC folks after Charlotte They received a
ten of millions of dollars in donation increase. So, in
other words, what they're being accused of. They use these
groups to produce hate for the media and public consumption,
and then they make millions of dollars supposedly because they're
fighting the hate, but they are behind the hate that
they are supposed to be fighting.
Speaker 5: Folks. This is seriously corrupt and evils.
Speaker 3: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 13: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 17: James Golden, known popularly as most.
Speaker 3: Nerdly, This is the Rush Hour with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 9: James Golden, most thaly here. Thank you so much, ladies
and gentlemen. I just want to say, and I'm so
looking forward to catching up with Princess Die this weekend
because this, to me is one of the biggest stories
and it's not being treated. I mean, there's outrage, but
this is a huge story. This gives you the underpinning
of how filthy, dirty, disgusting, hypocritical that liberole.
Speaker 5: Hatred is, and.
Speaker 9: Also a window into how easily the American media plays
along with it. Because what happened that Charlotte Fielder was
imported woman. It turns out now that the SPLC May
it is alleged, was behind some of what we saw
with the hate.
Speaker 5: Being stirred up. It was manufactured. This was not.
Speaker 9: Happening effervesting from America. It was effervesting from a political
effort to put hate front and center as representative of
where the American people are. It was bought and paid
for hate, and it was done so for a political
and a financial objective. Let's keep the narrative going that
the Right are a bunch of haters, and while we're
doing it, let's make millions and millions of dollars in
donations and smear the right.
Speaker 5: Hate is big.
Speaker 9: Business, and we're talking about millions of dollars in donation. Now,
where does that money go? How much of that money?
How many people sold out if this is all true,
what they supposedly believe in order to live large in
the material world by selling hatred and a false political
narrative about America, to America and to the world. This
has broad implications. And if this group is doing it,
what other groups are doing it? We keep talking about
the money behind protest? What is the objective? Who are
the players? What we see in politics isn't the truth?
If this is true, then how much of what you're
seeing of the political narrative is They bought and paid
for a narrative to keep fundraising machines going and to
keep hatred alive as a business. Speaking of keeping hatred
alive as a business, let's tune in and cut forward a
Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor. The Republicans are passing
a resident they're a passing now funding a reconciliation build
to just go ahead and fund the Department of Homeland Security,
bought a patrol and ice for the rest of President
Trump's presidency. And Democrats are having a cow they don't need.
And by the way, the Republicans should have done this
before instead of even asking bothering to ask Democrats for
their vote. But here's Chuck Schumer melting down on the
Senate floor over it.
Speaker 18: Senate Republicans showed the American people where they stand. Not
for families struggling with the high cost of childcare, groceries, gasoline, electricity,
but for pumping one hundred and forty billion dollars towards
rogue agencies. What kind of bubble are they living in?
How apart are they from people's real needs?
Speaker 9: And he continued to demonize ICE and Border Patrol. Now
the new head of DHS is not standing for it.
Cut five. This is Mark Wayne Mullen responding to Chuck
Schumer calling out these brave agents of ICE and Customer
Border Patrol who have done so much to make this
country safe.
Speaker 17: Makes my ears red. It takes a lot to get
me upset. But Ck Schumer, no one respects you. The
definition of a lling scumbag politician, that is you. You would
be the definition if you googled you right now. I mean,
why don't you just come out and be honest with
American people. He wants to have open borders. If you
want to defund the Customer Border Protection Agency, if you
want to defind ice who is in there arresting the
criminals that the laws were passed by you, you had
time to change those during the Biden administration. You didn't
because you're for open borders, and you're for the criminals
running a monk in our cities. And for you to
say that is so disrespectful to the law enforcement that
that is out there protecting you because he has a
detail with him. How about he walks around these city
streets without a detail. I wonder how safe he would feel.
Speaker 9: All right, folks, we will continue with that. Let me
move on to this. The government debate in California took
place minus Eric Swalwell. Let me commend First News Nation
who hosted the debate. They actually didn't do for political
base what we have seen other so called networks, be
they ABC, CNN do, which has used their moderators to
try to steer the outcome of a debate with their
choice and not choice if they asked tough questions and
they asked decent questions. From what I have been able
to tell, I've seen many, many clips of the debate.
Didn't watch the whole thing, but the clips I've seen,
I saw dozens highly impressive of that debate last night.
Now the coverage, however, you know, I looked at something
in the Hill all the takeaways from the debate, and
it's all about the Democrats of the debate, you wouldn't
know that the two Republicans running are actually the front runners.
And we're not talking about by large margins. Anybody still
in the teens or low twenty. It's not by large margins,
but the Republicans are up top in those small margins.
But you wouldn't know that looking at the coverage of
the big takeaways. So here are some of the questions.
We're going to run through some of them really quickly.
The debate question. Cut six. Steve Hilton, the Republican who
right now is the number one candidate in California. Cut six.
Speaker 19: Mister Hilton, you said you were deeply honored to recently
receive President Trump's endorsement. That's despite the fact that sixty
two percent of Californians disapprove of the job he is doing.
Are those Californians wrong? You have sixty seconds.
Speaker 20: One of the proudest days of my life was that
day I became an America consitizen. It happened in the
ceremony right here in San Francisco. So it is a
deep honor for me to be endorsed by the President
of the United States. And here's the thing that's going
to help every Californian when I'm governor, is that we
will have a constructive relationship and partnership with the federal government,
which would be the case I would hope for any
party in that situation, so that we can make things
better in California. Work with the President and his administration
to manage our forest better, to harvest the timber so
we can build the single family homes we need for
our young families, to work to increase California energy production
as he wants to do, so we can lower gas prices,
to fight the fraud in our government, so we can
cut spending and cut taxes, to work to enforce our
immigration laws in all these areas and more. It will
benefit every Californian to have a governor. Mister Hilt is
a partner on these issues.
Speaker 5: Mister Hilton with the President and his cheage.
Speaker 9: All right, I want to get quickly and we have
more of Steve Hilton. But I don't want to just
spend this whole segment with him. Let's ask about let's
talk about Katie Porter. Now the Democrat Party trying to
promote one of the two. It's either Tom Steyer, this
billionaire who's dumped so many millions in elections across country.
Big climate change guy. By the way, Bernie Sanders, mister
anti billionaire, mister, the billionaires are a bunch of ola guards.
Bernie Sanders has endorsed the billionaire. It's just you can't
make it up. So he wants the billionaire billionaire for
Bernie and Katie Porter. Of course, former congress woman, horrible
reputation with her staff. But Katie Porter is the other
they're hyping up. Xavier Basra's in the race. He's not
actually allowed a person of color in the race. At first,
California UCLA was supposed to host the debate, they blocked
out all the candidates of color weren't allowed to participate.
But since NewsNation took it over, they're letting candidates of
colors debate as well. Out in California. So here's Katie Porter.
Let's do cut Ten asked about English proficiency for truck drivers.
This big You know, California is unleashed, so many truck
drivers giving them CDL licenses and they can't speak or
read English on the roads.
Speaker 5: She was asked about it.
Speaker 19: Cut Ten, Porter, same question, do you believe that English
proficiency language proficiencies should be strictly enforced for truck drivers.
Speaker 5: You have sixty seconds.
Speaker 21: I would absolutely fight the Trump administration because the job
of the California governor is to protect Californians, and right
now that includes protecting them from Donald Trump. Protecting Californians
also includes enforcing traffic laws, and we've seen sometimes a
need for oversight in California. For example, we have seen
that the Department of Motor Vehicles was not enforcing rules
around DUIs and drivers who had convictions for that. I
am stunned that mister Bianco would say to block and
brown Californians and immigrants who are being terrorized and racially
profiled that you have to get over racism. It's not
something that you get over, it's something that you fight.
And if he doesn't understand the importance of that, he
has no business representing a state with the diversity of California.
Speaker 5: Mis Porter, thank you very much, mister Biancle.
Speaker 19: I'll give you fifteen seconds to respond.
Speaker 7: Yeah, again, that's not even close to what I said.
What I said is we're Californians and I'm speaking for them,
especially from law enforcement when I deal with persons of color.
Every single day. Californians are absolutely sick and tired of
our politicians making race the basis of everything it is not.
And this racial divide that they are pushing between law
enforcement and the public or Democrat and Republican absolutely has
to stop. And I'm telling you we are sick of it.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 5: That is Sheriff Bianca.
Speaker 9: Who's another Republican who coming in second so far in
what's called the racist term jungle primaries in California. All right,
very quickly, Tom Steyer cut twelve, the same question.
Speaker 5: Should people with commercial.
Speaker 9: Driver's license have to actually be able to read the
road sign, speak English and do the rest? Here's Tom Steyer,
billionaire endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Cut twelve. Mm hm, cut twelve.
We're looking for cut twelve.
Speaker 5: Are you here, sire? Where do you draw the line
on this?
Speaker 19: Should language proficiency for truckers be strictly enforced, even if
it means that some of them will probably lose their jobs?
You have sixty seven y.
Speaker 4: I agree with what we said, which is we don't
know the context of this stop, but what I can
say is this racial profiling is illegal and in fact,
picking on people based on the color of their skin
in the state of California is illegal.
Speaker 9: So requiring truck drivers to actually speak English and know
it's all racist. It's beyond the payoff, folks. What's happening
out there. Xavier Bisarah, a person of color, was asked
to the same question. Cut twelve. Here's Xavier Bisera on
that same question.
Speaker 22: Should the CHP be giving English proficiency test to truck drivers?
And if not, would you, as governor push back against
the Trump administration on this policy? You have sixty seconds.
Speaker 23: I would definitely push back on the Trump administration and again,
a reckless policy. I would make sure that that officer
understands that he cannot discriminate against any driver without having
a basis to do so. I understood a little bit
of what that individual was trying to say. I don't
I couldn't see the signs, but it certainly sounded like
he was trying to describe what that particular sign was
trying to represent. And so we have to be very
careful that we're not profiling consumers in California, drivers in California.
Speaker 9: So none of these people can say, you know what,
people that don't know English can't speak the language shouldn't
be driving semi trucks, and we shouldn't be giving them
commercial driver's license. They just can't. Those are the Democrats.
The Republicans, on the other hand, the two Republicans can
say it.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 9: There is a quote. I'm going to send this quote
to Princess Diana, so high. King Jeffreys, he was asked
by a child today a question, why do it's take
your kid? At first it started off is take your
daughter to work and leave your stupid son at home,
And then it became take your take your daughter to work,
and maybe we'll have a day for the sons too,
And finally it became after people got sick of their sons.
Speaker 5: Being home.
Speaker 9: On that day and their daughter's going away, take your
kids to work.
Speaker 5: Screw it, just take them.
Speaker 9: So the kids came to work today, including at the Capitol,
and there was a kid that asked why how they
were allowed to ask questions of how King Jeffries now
were running a lot of time. It's almost a too,
it's almost a minute and a half. I don't think
we have time. We don't have time for it today.
But it's brilliant, and it's a brilliant question. So if
we can, we'll play it tomorrow. But I think I'd
rather almost wait till Saturday, because you know, some of
what Hakim Jeffrey says I found myself agreeing with and
that's scary. Some of what he said, some just a
little bit some. And then we have the brawl between
Haking Jeffreys and Ron DeSantis. Again, not time to cover that.
Today we have Tom Homan who invited the Pope for
a ride on with ice. He he wants the Pope
to come on a ride along. Elizabeth Warrent supporting a
guy he's her real man, this guy Graham, which is
named Graham Potter, who's running up in Maine with the
Nazi tattoo tattoo and has made remarks about women that
a rape should actually people should grow up and take
a little responsibility for themselves being raped. And Elizabeth Warren
has has signed on with this guy, and I hope
I'm characterizing that right, the rape remarks anyway, something to
that effect. I'll have to dig into it. We got
to take a break, however, James Gonna stunning fastest sound
