Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative on
the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Everyone, it's great to be back with all of you.
It's good to see you, good to be in this room.
I'm glad everybody showed up today. Let's get back to work.
We're going to begin with a few scheduling announcements tonight,
as you all know, at nine o'clock PM Eastern, President
Trump will deliver a major address to the nation on
protecting the integrity of our elections, and we encourage every
American to tune in. On Friday, the President will travel
to travel to New York City to attend a FIFA
reception at Trump Tower, followed by his attendance on Sunday
at the FIFA World Cup between Spain and Argentina. His
attendance will cap what has been the most watched, most secure,
and most successful World Cup in American history.
Speaker 3: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Caroline Levitt has returned to the
White House. A briefing is with that Humdinger this morning.
It is the Thursday edition of Bostnbrew's Rush, our fastest
Hour in American media, and as you heard, President is
intending on going to see the World Cup a challenged
between the colonizers, the ancient and medieval and Golden Age,
Golden Empire conquistadors of Spain versus the humble, good, down
trodden oppressed people of Argentina who they colonized or began
their quest for colonization. I should say in fifteen sixteen,
when one dis et old soulis first arrived. I'll have
more on that as the world draws closer tonight. However,
even in advance of the President declaring that he would
like to speak with the American people on media, the
mainstream press is in uproar mode. New York Times Trump
is expected to revisit election security. Here is what to know,
and they begin by saying Donald Trump has so doubts
about the integrity of US elections for over a decade.
What he has not done is furnished proof to support
his claims that there was widespread fraud, that foreign powers
of hijack joke vote, or that federal law state officials
plotted to rig either the twenty twenty election he lost
to Joseph R. Biden Jr. Or other contests he has questioned.
The Times goes on to say that Donald Trump is
likely to revisit some of these assertions during a prime
time addressed to the country Thursday that is expected to
center on election security, potentially intensifying his efforts to undercut
faith in the results of American elections. His false claims, however,
have at times either exaggerated or obscured some genuine security
concerns around elections, particularly as they relate to foreign meddling.
Let me stop there. This goes on. If you print
the whole thing. I printed out the time.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: They also also later on in here get into Joja
for a quick minute, and they tell us that even
though there's no proof of anything that in that the
Georgia's senators are already on guard pretty much as what
they're reporting, just in case Donald Trump raises claims about
what happened in Georgia, and why would that be a concern?
Why would that be a concern? Both senators in Georgia
apparently have ramped up efforts to make sure. Here's the
reporting that came from The New York Times earlier today.
This afternoon, Georgia's two Democratic senators didn't wait for President
Trump to try to undermine their legitimacy with false claims
about their crucial election victories in twenty twenty that propelled
Democrats to the Senate majority. In interviews and social media post,
Senators Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff has aggressively countered a
potential presidential claimed that they did not win their seats fairly.
They act after reports that the President would use the
speech schedule Thursday even to take aim at them, alleging
widespread fraud and Georgia voting six years ago, despite multiple
inquiries that produced no evidence of wrongdoing. Well, you know what,
if President Trump has something to say about it and
is presenting evidence, it would seem to me, rather than
try to discount everything in advance, the prudent court of
action would be perhaps to wait and to see if
there is new evidence. If this is going to be
what the New York Times says is going to be,
which is just another harangue of stuff that Donald Trump
has gone before, then what's the problem. What's the problem?
That's all you gotta say. You know, he's covered all
this before. If there is something new here, wouldn't it
stand to reason that we should hear what the president
has to say, judge what he's saying for ourselves, if
he comes up with evidence, have the evidence investigated. If
he doesn't come up within the evidence, that'll speak for itself.
If there's nothing to see here, there's nothing to see
here in wich case, why would he be asking us
to see what he's got on Thursday night? So you
get all this advanced basically what the Times mission is.
Whatever he says he's gonna lie, it's been false. It's
been The New York Times, the rest of the mainstream
media has made a point about saying everything concerning election
integrity that the Republicans talk about is false. Everything it's
all false, and even in their own things this little
paragraph that I read earlier from the New York Times.
His false claim, however, have at times either exaggerated or
obscured some genuine security concerns around election, particularly as they
relate to foreign meddling. Well, you know what, particularly foreign
meddling doesn't come to what most people that have studied
our electoral system are concerned about. Most of us are
concerned by the security problems around mail and voting and
ballot harvesting. And the New York Times doesn't bother to
mention that doesn't think it's a legitimate concern for people
to have. It is a concern and not an unreasonable concern.
When you have states that allow third parties, unchecked, unvetted,
to go around and collect ballots from people and then
turn them in, that's a concern. And I don't know
how it could be anywise if I just said to you, Oh,
you know what, I got a friend. He's going to
go out and elect a bunch of ballots and turn
them in. We're gonna go and visit nursing homes, and
we're gonna go and visit a whole bunch of places
where people are locked and collect the ballots from people. Well,
who are these people are they? Are they government employees? No,
they're just you know, volunteers, the people in some cases
paper they're gonna go collect. This entire ballot harvesting scheme
that Democrats have put into effect in multiple states undermines
the integrity of elections the way mail im ballots have
been conducted, especially when you get to states like Pennsylvania,
when you get to other states where judges have gone
against what the legislature intended to be the process to
say well, no, you can count votes for whenever after
it makes people have doubts about the integrity of the elections.
And I don't care what the New York Times says.
I don't care what the rest of the mainstream press say.
People have a legitimate concern about elections. I for one,
can't wait to hear what the President has to say,
and if he comes up with something, give it a
fair Listen. If you think, by the way, after you
hear the President speak that everything he said is just
pure total bs, well okay, but hear him out. I
don't think that's too much to ask for. And I
think the New York Times and others trying to set
the tone that whatever Trump speaks about tonight has got
to be false because it's Donald Trump. Instead of being
even remotely interested and is their new information to be had,
they are not interested in the lease, and I think
it speaks volumes to what their own prejudices and motivations are. Now,
there are other things in the news, we will touch
all this one. This one Carlos cut number five, Please
Caroline Levitt today.
Speaker 5: What steps is the White House taking to ensure something
like that doesn't happen on yet?
Speaker 2: Well, the White House has extremely strict ethical guidelines with
respect to issues like this, and as I just told you,
this individual will no longer be here. He'll be unpaid
administrative administrative lead. I'm sorry, without pay. The administrative lead
is unpaid. To be very clear that that was a
decision by the president, So I think that speaks for itself.
Speaker 3: Carlos, you have any idea what she's talking about. Have
you heard anything about the teleprompter guy at all? JJ,
you know what she's talking about. Have you heard anything
about the teleprompter guy at all? Oh, ladies and gentlemen,
the teleprompter operator, the teleprompter I'm reading a text here
as it comes in. I love this. They lied to
us about everything else. They lied to us about COVID,
they lied to us about Hunter Biden's lietop. They lied
to us about January sixth. I will add ben Ghazi.
I can go back and add stuff all the way
back to Whitewater that they lied about. So YO, why
should we believe the mainstream press is now anyway? Thank you?
Lady Benedict Toholk me that the teleprompter operator. Guys, ladies, gentlemen,
the guy was betting. He was betting on what you
know these prediction market bits. He was betting with the
group as to what the speeches would be about. So
he was making prediction bets about the president's speech while
he's the teleprompter operator. The guy apparently won over one
hundred g's in the prediction bet market and they found
out about He's gone, I mean, how stupid? How excuse me?
I'm sorry. I don't need to call a guy stupid?
Would you not think that if.
Speaker 6: You work for.
Speaker 3: Would you not think that if you work for the
White House? Sooner or later, somebody's gonna find out if
you're betting in the prediction markets, especially if you're cleaning up.
So I guess it'll be a new tele promptu operator
on duty tonight because the guy that was during the
teleprompter has prompted himself out of a job. James goldand

Speaker 3: You know, I want to get to the serious issues
of the day, folks, but I have to just stop
and do something that's not even connected to the news
at all. Carls, have you ever known a woman that
just goes off and you don't have to no names, please,
But she's totally wrong, but doesn't even realize she's wrong,
But she still goes off with all the passion and
fury that only a woman can go off. Have you
ever met a woman like that? Joy? Red, Oh, whoa joy?
TJ says he's met a woman he knows of that happening.
I'm not saying he knows. I just want you to
listen to something, folks, especially when it happens on the
ebonic side.
Speaker 7: Cut nineteen.
Speaker 3: This is a woman who's upset with what the mechanics
are telling her about her car Cut nineteen.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I'm so hot and aggravated right now. I'm up here
trying to get my damn breaks rotated. This wady talking
about they only rotate tires, ma'am. The brakes are a
part of the tires she's talking about. No, it's a
separate service. I said, Okay, how much is it to
rotate a the tires. She talking about two fifty two.
What that's hand heel for you to tell me that
the brakes aren't included when the brakes are built into
the tire. You're like, I'm confused, She said, I know, ma'am,
that's a separate service. We just replace the brakes. I
don't need the brakes replaced because they're not bad. They
just squeaking a little bit. I just need to take
the ones that's on the front and move them to
the back along with the tires she talking about. No, ma'am,
you don't even have the same brakes on the front
and the bed. So somebody that already missed my car
because I got two different type of brakes on my car.
The front brakes is not even the same as the
back break. So somebody already don't read like I'm over
here put my life on the line even driving his
car right now, somebody's gonna do something. So I said, well,
I just need all my brakes changed at this point,
because clearly this is dangerous.
Speaker 3: Uh what do you mean you can't. I want to
have my brakes rotated. They tell me they can't rotate
the brakes. I want to take the brakes off the
front and put them on the back. You want to
even mean she's single? Uh, how do you do? Mm hmmm, yeah,
Well anyway, do you realize that there are people out
here listening that have listened to that and don't know
what we're laughing about. But I want to have my
brakes rotated? James Golden both early here with you. It
is both earliest rush our fastest out on American media. Yes,
we're going to get back to the issues of the day,
but I had to do it. I just could not
let that one slide. Stay with us.

Speaker 6: Is openly threatening a shutdown in September unless Republicans eliminate
the filibuster and force it through his radical agenda. He
said it himself. Republicans have been trying to say we
want to shut down. We don't. We've been fighting it,
but Trump pulled the rug out from under them when
he said. Trump said, Republicans have to terminate the filibuster
or we'll have a shutdown in September, mister President, the
Save Act ain't passing. It. It ain't passing in the Senate,
it ain't passing with Democrats, and it ain't passing in
the courts. It's been rejected over and over again. I'd
say to Mike Lee, it's not happening, So give up
on that and start doing the real.
Speaker 3: Word now on Iran and the NDAA talk about passing.
Speaker 6: The American people need to know, of course, how and
why this chaos is spreading through their streets. And we
need a complete investigation that's independent now on Iran and
the NDAA. When all the Trust Administration.
Speaker 3: We know what's passing, Senator Schuler, it's you, huh, Chuck
Schumer passing, by the way, this whole deal that the
Save Act is not gonna pass. You know who else
is is here's the headline from the Hill today, folks.
Tillis Senator Tom Tillis, North Carolina. Tillis goes scorched earth
on Save America Act, threatening to stall it with Republicans
like this, And this has been the problem in the
Republican Senate. Who needs Democrats when you have Republicans like
Tom Tillis, like Lisa Murkowski and John Cornyn is now
I guess he's ticked off, showing you he's a little
bit upset.
Speaker 10: It's all John Thune's folk because he can't hold them
together and because they need to replace him from his position.
Speaker 3: Yeah, damn, Carlos is like getting political analytical here, bro.
Can I ask you a question? Do you think that?
Do you think that John Thune needs to get his
brakes rotated?
Speaker 10: He needs to get his stuff, He needs to lock
in and like start doing, you know something instead of
going on vacation all the time.
Speaker 3: Do you have you ever heard the have you ever
heard the expression about herding cats? Do you know what
that refers to? One of the ex Senate minority leaders.
I believe it was what's his face? The cheerleader guy?
What's his name? Anyway, he wrote a book about how
hard it is to coalesce, how to get the Senate
to agree, and he said, one of the reasons that
makes it so hard it's like trying to herd cats. Now,
if you think about cats and their personality, is how
difficult it would be to herd them up? For they're
not like sheep. Went a few sheep dogs out, they
all fall in line with the cats are different beings.
Here's the problem with the Senate, and I'm glad, I'm
so glad you raised that, because the Senate is the
most difficult body to deal with. Because of this reason,
every senator, any senator, can stop anything in the Senate
with an objection. So when you go to for instance,
when you go to put up something to vote, any
senator because I object, and they have to take a
vote on it. And now, depending on how popular or
not popular it is, it's difficult when you look at
the Senate. Also the way that it's comprised, where you
need super majorities to win, all you need with the
way that it's done is one or two three defections
on your side and you're in trouble. First of well,
it's hard for any side to get to the sixty
because neither one of them have a supermajority. So you're
always gonna need some people in the opposition. So you
want a piece of a legislation in the past, you're
gonna have to try to peel off anywhere from seven
to ten members of the opposition, and they're gonna have
to vote with you on areas where it comes with
a supermajority with the filibuster, which is why Trump is
saying get rid of the philipbuster. The filibuster is not
included in the Constitution. It is part of Senate rules. Now,
some of those Senate rules date back to the time
of Thomas Jefferson, but the Senate rules can be changed,
and Democrats change the rules when they don't like the rules.
So Trump is like, look, the Democrats already saying they're
gonna get rid of the sixty vote, then we need
to do it first and get stuff done with just
a fifty one vote majority wins. But trying to organize
when you have fifty forty nine fifty Republicans and five
or six of them are hard core Rhinos, And then
you have a lot of the ones in the Senate
that are pretending to be conservative but they're not really conservative.
They go out on the election trail every six years
and they pretend, oh, I'm the most conservative thing since
sized size bread. They get to the Senate and they
vote moderately. And then you have the ones that live
in blue areas. They need Democrat votes in order to
win their senacy, like Sue Collins. So you get people.
It's a hard I'm not making excuses for John Thune,
but I don't care who the Senate majority ly is.
When you have when you have such a close difference
in the majority in the minority, I don't care who
it is. Republicans don't stick together like Democrats do. They're
more of an independent breed. Now, when Harry Reid ran
the Senate with his little iron fist there, Democrats didn't
dare cross that guy. You crossed that guy, you got
in trouble. You don't go all the way back. George Mitchell,
who nobody probably remembers, he used to we call Diana
Princess Diana, and I used to call him the pharmacist
because he not because he was a drug, because he
spoke to you like a pharmacist. Good a high? Can
I get you something? What is it that I can
get for you? Oh, you're not feeling well? Well, let's
see if you go over and look at yourself too,
we might have something for you. There. He was so genteel,
but he was ruthless. The guy was ruthless. He was
the perfect example of that phrase, the velvet glove on
the iron fist. So my point is that no matter
who is going to be the Republican or would be
the Republican in charge of the Senate Caucus. In the Senate,
it is a thankless ugly job. And no matter who
the person is, he's gonna get complaints he or she.
That's just the way it is. And that's not to
say I don't think that John Thune should be replaced either.
But if he is replaced, don't expect everything to change,
because it's not going to. The only change that is
going to happen in the United States and is when
we get rid of rhinos and replace them with Conservatives,
and there are enough Conservatives that they can rule the caucus.
That's when things will change. It's a great question, Carlos,
speaking of which election time Sue Collins, who, of course,
is up in Maine. They're trying to still figure out
who the Platinum, who the plant for Platiner is going
to be when they pull out their next Democrat to
run against them. How many sound bites have we heard
from Sue can This may be the first or second
time we've ever played a sound bite from Sue Collins.
Let's play Sue Collins cut eight. This is Sue Collins
talking about go just play forty.
Speaker 8: Eight percent increase in the number of threads, that it
is increase raisingly dangerous to be a Supreme Court justice
these days. And it's appalling to me that some of
the rhetoric is coming from public officials on both sides
of the isle, who should know better than to levy
personal and political attacks against the judiciary and the Court specifically.
For example, a senator stood in front of the Supreme
Court building and called out two members by name, saying
that they had released the world when and that they
will pay the price. Other public officials have called the
Court corrupt, out of control, and serving an extremist agenda.
Speaker 7: This overheated language.
Speaker 8: This completely inappropriate rhetoric against the Supreme Court endangers the
lives of the justices and erodes public trust in our
system of government.
Speaker 3: Carlos had it right when he said that it was
Chuck Schumer who made those remarks about the world win
that would be levied on the Supreme Court justices. But
my point is that it has been years now since
Chuck Schumer did that, and right now, even before an election,
Sue Collins won't name names. It is the Democrats who
say the Supreme Court is unscrupulous and all these threats
to the Supreme is the Democrats. But this is what
I mean. Sue Collins needs Democrats to vote for her
in order to stay in office. So she's not gonna
call out Chuck Schumer by name. She's not gonna call
out all these Democrats that have been up against the
Supreme Court. She just makes some statement platitude to keep
the Republican base. Oh, Sue Collins is aware, we're all
supposed to say, oh wow, Sue Collin's just taking on
Chuck Schumer. I guess how we should support Sue Collins.
She ain't even call them out by name. This, folks,
this is what I mean. But do we need Sue
Collins in the Senate? Yep. You are not gonna get
a conservative running from Maine, a Republican MAGA conservative to
be in the Senate from Maine, and you're not gonna
get one from Vermont. So you need them hurting cats. Okay, man,
we got so much other stuff, but time is running short,
you know, Pete Hegseth for Pete heg Seth. Play cut fourteen,
Just just play cut fourteen, Promelo.
Speaker 4: Just an hour ago, the secretary of Forever Wars, Pete Heigs,
said that they are going to provide hormone therapy for
male service members who don't have enough testosterone. This, by
the way, is gender affirming care. And by the way,
male members of this committee, watch what you vote for.
Do you really want the government getting into your business
taking your test testosterone levels and determining whether or not
you have enough testosterone? Are you male enough to be
in Congress? That is the question now to go from
the absurd to the very very very serious. In the
past year, forty percent of transgender and non binary young
people seriously considered attempting suicide. Instead of shaming and targeting
them for seeking the care they need, as Republicans constantly,
do let us provide support to them?
Speaker 3: Okay enough? Fifteen Becky Becca Blint from Vermont, the Democrat
who said, and I quote, no, we got to take
a break that we need Hispanic people to wipe our assets.
That is what this woman said. She has a comment
about the testosterone and soldiers, but we may have to
hold it until tomorrow because we have the clip of
the day coming up, and the clip of the day

Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, there was a ministerial. I guess that's
a word for summit, a ministerial about left wing political violence,
about violence in the political sphere, and Marco Rubio was helldless.
This is apparently from the State Department. This came from
his speech at the ministerial today. It's just amazingly good.
Apprentice Diana and Lady Benedict made sure that I saw this,
and thank you both because I would not want to
have missed this SoundBite from Marco Rubio's Secretary of State opposite.
Speaker 5: One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism, for example,
is that it sounds good in theory, but it never
works in practice. That's actually not true. Communism does not
sound good in theory. The world of envisions for all
of US is small, flat, gray, leveled of all exception,
drained of all that is good and noble in the
human soul. The world of envisions is a world without courage,
a world without creativity or ambition, a world without heroes
or go or great causes to strive towards without a
world without miracles, without myths, without men who rise above
the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things. And the
world communism and visions is a world without God. For
these architects of revolutionary violence, the towering achievement of our
civilization for them, it's an unbearable humiliation, a reminder of
what they cannot do and a reminder of what they
cannot be. So they choose instead to destroy. They attack pipelines.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, folks, Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio
has come into his own Not that Marco Rubio wasn't
a good or to a great order, someone say before,
Not that, I mean Marco Rubio advanced from the legislature
in Florida into the United into the into becoming a
United States Senator. That wasn't an accident. He has advanced
his career is out of an advancement, but in his
role as Secretary of State of the United States of America.
Marco Rubio has elevated himself into a level that just
speaks of an incredible grasp of not just domestic policy,
foreign policy, but of the underpinnings of conservatism. And he speaks.
Every time he speaks, you hear it reflected. I'll tell
you something, Marco Rubio, this is one to keep your
eye on. Everybody's talking about whether it's going to be
Marco Rubio a JD Vance, and I'm not getting into
that right now. I'm just saying Marco Rubio has stepped
up into a level that he cannot and should not
ever be ignored. The Beatles worked on two songs on
this day in nineteen sixty nine, both from George Harrison
Something and the other one Here Comes the Sun, and
I love both of these songs. George Harrison, the Beatles.
