1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,919 Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative on 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,919 the Red Apple Podcast Network. 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,279 Speaker 2: Everyone, it's great to be back with all of you. 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,720 It's good to see you, good to be in this room. 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,199 I'm glad everybody showed up today. Let's get back to work. 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,160 We're going to begin with a few scheduling announcements tonight, 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,079 as you all know, at nine o'clock PM Eastern, President 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,359 Trump will deliver a major address to the nation on 9 00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,359 protecting the integrity of our elections, and we encourage every 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,920 American to tune in. On Friday, the President will travel 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,560 to travel to New York City to attend a FIFA 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,759 reception at Trump Tower, followed by his attendance on Sunday 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,960 at the FIFA World Cup between Spain and Argentina. His 14 00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:47,280 attendance will cap what has been the most watched, most secure, 15 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:50,679 and most successful World Cup in American history. 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,439 Speaker 3: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Caroline Levitt has returned to the 17 00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:03,960 White House. A briefing is with that Humdinger this morning. 18 00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:09,959 It is the Thursday edition of Bostnbrew's Rush, our fastest 19 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,439 Hour in American media, and as you heard, President is 20 00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:18,920 intending on going to see the World Cup a challenged 21 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:26,840 between the colonizers, the ancient and medieval and Golden Age, 22 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:35,640 Golden Empire conquistadors of Spain versus the humble, good, down 23 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:45,879 trodden oppressed people of Argentina who they colonized or began 24 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,079 their quest for colonization. I should say in fifteen sixteen, 25 00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:56,159 when one dis et old soulis first arrived. I'll have 26 00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:02,840 more on that as the world draws closer tonight. However, 27 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,680 even in advance of the President declaring that he would 28 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,439 like to speak with the American people on media, the 29 00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:20,599 mainstream press is in uproar mode. New York Times Trump 30 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:25,719 is expected to revisit election security. Here is what to know, 31 00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:30,759 and they begin by saying Donald Trump has so doubts 32 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,599 about the integrity of US elections for over a decade. 33 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,639 What he has not done is furnished proof to support 34 00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:45,960 his claims that there was widespread fraud, that foreign powers 35 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,439 of hijack joke vote, or that federal law state officials 36 00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:54,560 plotted to rig either the twenty twenty election he lost 37 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,520 to Joseph R. Biden Jr. Or other contests he has questioned. 38 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400 The Times goes on to say that Donald Trump is 39 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,280 likely to revisit some of these assertions during a prime 40 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,919 time addressed to the country Thursday that is expected to 41 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:23,120 center on election security, potentially intensifying his efforts to undercut 42 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:32,000 faith in the results of American elections. His false claims, however, 43 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,400 have at times either exaggerated or obscured some genuine security 44 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,719 concerns around elections, particularly as they relate to foreign meddling. 45 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,919 Let me stop there. This goes on. If you print 46 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,039 the whole thing. I printed out the time. 47 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 4: Oh. 48 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,919 Speaker 3: They also also later on in here get into Joja 49 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,240 for a quick minute, and they tell us that even 50 00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:00,719 though there's no proof of anything that in that the 51 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,639 Georgia's senators are already on guard pretty much as what 52 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,360 they're reporting, just in case Donald Trump raises claims about 53 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,680 what happened in Georgia, and why would that be a concern? 54 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,639 Why would that be a concern? Both senators in Georgia 55 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:27,759 apparently have ramped up efforts to make sure. Here's the 56 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,600 reporting that came from The New York Times earlier today. 57 00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:35,439 This afternoon, Georgia's two Democratic senators didn't wait for President 58 00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:39,639 Trump to try to undermine their legitimacy with false claims 59 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,879 about their crucial election victories in twenty twenty that propelled 60 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,480 Democrats to the Senate majority. In interviews and social media post, 61 00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:54,000 Senators Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff has aggressively countered a 62 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:58,720 potential presidential claimed that they did not win their seats fairly. 63 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,079 They act after reports that the President would use the 64 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,360 speech schedule Thursday even to take aim at them, alleging 65 00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:11,560 widespread fraud and Georgia voting six years ago, despite multiple 66 00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:15,560 inquiries that produced no evidence of wrongdoing. Well, you know what, 67 00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:23,000 if President Trump has something to say about it and 68 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,199 is presenting evidence, it would seem to me, rather than 69 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,279 try to discount everything in advance, the prudent court of 70 00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:38,480 action would be perhaps to wait and to see if 71 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,120 there is new evidence. If this is going to be 72 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,399 what the New York Times says is going to be, 73 00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:51,199 which is just another harangue of stuff that Donald Trump 74 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,639 has gone before, then what's the problem. What's the problem? 75 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,439 That's all you gotta say. You know, he's covered all 76 00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:00,920 this before. If there is something new here, wouldn't it 77 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,720 stand to reason that we should hear what the president 78 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,839 has to say, judge what he's saying for ourselves, if 79 00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:13,040 he comes up with evidence, have the evidence investigated. If 80 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,800 he doesn't come up within the evidence, that'll speak for itself. 81 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,399 If there's nothing to see here, there's nothing to see 82 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:24,360 here in wich case, why would he be asking us 83 00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:30,000 to see what he's got on Thursday night? So you 84 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,240 get all this advanced basically what the Times mission is. 85 00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:35,839 Whatever he says he's gonna lie, it's been false. It's 86 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,160 been The New York Times, the rest of the mainstream 87 00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:42,680 media has made a point about saying everything concerning election 88 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:50,680 integrity that the Republicans talk about is false. Everything it's 89 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,360 all false, and even in their own things this little 90 00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:58,839 paragraph that I read earlier from the New York Times. 91 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,279 His false claim, however, have at times either exaggerated or 92 00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:08,000 obscured some genuine security concerns around election, particularly as they 93 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,959 relate to foreign meddling. Well, you know what, particularly foreign 94 00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:15,759 meddling doesn't come to what most people that have studied 95 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,720 our electoral system are concerned about. Most of us are 96 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:25,800 concerned by the security problems around mail and voting and 97 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,720 ballot harvesting. And the New York Times doesn't bother to 98 00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,600 mention that doesn't think it's a legitimate concern for people 99 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,920 to have. It is a concern and not an unreasonable concern. 100 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,639 When you have states that allow third parties, unchecked, unvetted, 101 00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:49,480 to go around and collect ballots from people and then 102 00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:55,160 turn them in, that's a concern. And I don't know 103 00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:58,160 how it could be anywise if I just said to you, Oh, 104 00:07:58,199 --> 00:07:59,560 you know what, I got a friend. He's going to 105 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,720 go out and elect a bunch of ballots and turn 106 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,439 them in. We're gonna go and visit nursing homes, and 107 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,120 we're gonna go and visit a whole bunch of places 108 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,959 where people are locked and collect the ballots from people. Well, 109 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,759 who are these people are they? Are they government employees? No, 110 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,360 they're just you know, volunteers, the people in some cases 111 00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:27,920 paper they're gonna go collect. This entire ballot harvesting scheme 112 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,360 that Democrats have put into effect in multiple states undermines 113 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,159 the integrity of elections the way mail im ballots have 114 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:43,240 been conducted, especially when you get to states like Pennsylvania, 115 00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:47,320 when you get to other states where judges have gone 116 00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:51,080 against what the legislature intended to be the process to 117 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,960 say well, no, you can count votes for whenever after 118 00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:01,519 it makes people have doubts about the integrity of the elections. 119 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,080 And I don't care what the New York Times says. 120 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,759 I don't care what the rest of the mainstream press say. 121 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:18,600 People have a legitimate concern about elections. I for one, 122 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,279 can't wait to hear what the President has to say, 123 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:28,200 and if he comes up with something, give it a 124 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,960 fair Listen. If you think, by the way, after you 125 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,559 hear the President speak that everything he said is just 126 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:43,679 pure total bs, well okay, but hear him out. I 127 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,960 don't think that's too much to ask for. And I 128 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,159 think the New York Times and others trying to set 129 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,919 the tone that whatever Trump speaks about tonight has got 130 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,679 to be false because it's Donald Trump. Instead of being 131 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:03,759 even remotely interested and is their new information to be had, 132 00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:07,240 they are not interested in the lease, and I think 133 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:14,679 it speaks volumes to what their own prejudices and motivations are. Now, 134 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:19,279 there are other things in the news, we will touch 135 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,039 all this one. This one Carlos cut number five, Please 136 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,320 Caroline Levitt today. 137 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 5: What steps is the White House taking to ensure something 138 00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:33,679 like that doesn't happen on yet? 139 00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: Well, the White House has extremely strict ethical guidelines with 140 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,600 respect to issues like this, and as I just told you, 141 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,120 this individual will no longer be here. He'll be unpaid 142 00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:48,080 administrative administrative lead. I'm sorry, without pay. The administrative lead 143 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:51,200 is unpaid. To be very clear that that was a 144 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,919 decision by the president, So I think that speaks for itself. 145 00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:58,879 Speaker 3: Carlos, you have any idea what she's talking about. Have 146 00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:02,519 you heard anything about the teleprompter guy at all? JJ, 147 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,519 you know what she's talking about. Have you heard anything 148 00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:11,840 about the teleprompter guy at all? Oh, ladies and gentlemen, 149 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:20,960 the teleprompter operator, the teleprompter I'm reading a text here 150 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,399 as it comes in. I love this. They lied to 151 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,399 us about everything else. They lied to us about COVID, 152 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,480 they lied to us about Hunter Biden's lietop. They lied 153 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360 to us about January sixth. I will add ben Ghazi. 154 00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:34,559 I can go back and add stuff all the way 155 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,720 back to Whitewater that they lied about. So YO, why 156 00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:41,159 should we believe the mainstream press is now anyway? Thank you? 157 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:49,759 Lady Benedict Toholk me that the teleprompter operator. Guys, ladies, gentlemen, 158 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,399 the guy was betting. He was betting on what you 159 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,279 know these prediction market bits. He was betting with the 160 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:04,320 group as to what the speeches would be about. So 161 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,840 he was making prediction bets about the president's speech while 162 00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:13,399 he's the teleprompter operator. The guy apparently won over one 163 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,879 hundred g's in the prediction bet market and they found 164 00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:27,720 out about He's gone, I mean, how stupid? How excuse me? 165 00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:29,799 I'm sorry. I don't need to call a guy stupid? 166 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,960 Would you not think that if. 167 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,159 Speaker 6: You work for. 168 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,039 Speaker 3: Would you not think that if you work for the 169 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,799 White House? Sooner or later, somebody's gonna find out if 170 00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:51,960 you're betting in the prediction markets, especially if you're cleaning up. 171 00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:58,240 So I guess it'll be a new tele promptu operator 172 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,600 on duty tonight because the guy that was during the 173 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,759 teleprompter has prompted himself out of a job.

The brakes are a 201 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,080 part of the tires she's talking about. No, it's a 202 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,720 separate service. I said, Okay, how much is it to 203 00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:38,480 rotate a the tires. She talking about two fifty two. 204 00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:42,559 What that's hand heel for you to tell me that 205 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,080 the brakes aren't included when the brakes are built into 206 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,879 the tire. You're like, I'm confused, She said, I know, ma'am, 207 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,679 that's a separate service. We just replace the brakes. I 208 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,240 don't need the brakes replaced because they're not bad. They 209 00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:55,399 just squeaking a little bit. I just need to take 210 00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:57,399 the ones that's on the front and move them to 211 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,480 the back along with the tires she talking about. No, ma'am, 212 00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:02,519 you don't even have the same brakes on the front 213 00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:05,440 and the bed. So somebody that already missed my car 214 00:15:05,559 --> 00:15:07,759 because I got two different type of brakes on my car. 215 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,879 The front brakes is not even the same as the 216 00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:13,080 back break. So somebody already don't read like I'm over 217 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,919 here put my life on the line even driving his 218 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000 car right now, somebody's gonna do something. So I said, well, 219 00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:20,360 I just need all my brakes changed at this point, 220 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,840 because clearly this is dangerous. 221 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 3: Uh what do you mean you can't. I want to 222 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,600 have my brakes rotated. They tell me they can't rotate 223 00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:46,759 the brakes. I want to take the brakes off the 224 00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:50,159 front and put them on the back. You want to 225 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:58,639 even mean she's single? Uh, how do you do?

He 240 00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:58,440 said it himself. Republicans have been trying to say we 241 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,120 want to shut down. We don't. We've been fighting it, 242 00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:04,920 but Trump pulled the rug out from under them when 243 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,799 he said. Trump said, Republicans have to terminate the filibuster 244 00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:13,680 or we'll have a shutdown in September, mister President, the 245 00:17:13,759 --> 00:17:18,480 Save Act ain't passing. It. It ain't passing in the Senate, 246 00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:21,000 it ain't passing with Democrats, and it ain't passing in 247 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:25,039 the courts. It's been rejected over and over again. I'd 248 00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:29,559 say to Mike Lee, it's not happening, So give up 249 00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:31,920 on that and start doing the real. 250 00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 3: Word now on Iran and the NDAA talk about passing. 251 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 6: The American people need to know, of course, how and 252 00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:42,279 why this chaos is spreading through their streets. And we 253 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:48,119 need a complete investigation that's independent now on Iran and 254 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,839 the NDAA. When all the Trust Administration. 255 00:17:54,319 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 3: We know what's passing, Senator Schuler, it's you, huh, Chuck 256 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,519 Schumer passing, by the way, this whole deal that the 257 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,799 Save Act is not gonna pass. You know who else 258 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,519 is is here's the headline from the Hill today, folks. 259 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:20,319 Tillis Senator Tom Tillis, North Carolina. Tillis goes scorched earth 260 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:25,279 on Save America Act, threatening to stall it with Republicans 261 00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:26,839 like this, And this has been the problem in the 262 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,599 Republican Senate. Who needs Democrats when you have Republicans like 263 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,400 Tom Tillis, like Lisa Murkowski and John Cornyn is now 264 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,839 I guess he's ticked off, showing you he's a little 265 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,599 bit upset. 266 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,319 Speaker 10: It's all John Thune's folk because he can't hold them 267 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,319 together and because they need to replace him from his position. 268 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:54,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, damn, Carlos is like getting political analytical here, bro. 269 00:18:57,079 --> 00:18:59,400 Can I ask you a question? Do you think that? 270 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,799 Do you think that John Thune needs to get his 271 00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:03,640 brakes rotated? 272 00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 10: He needs to get his stuff, He needs to lock 273 00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:10,400 in and like start doing, you know something instead of 274 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,839 going on vacation all the time. 275 00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 3: Do you have you ever heard the have you ever 276 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:19,799 heard the expression about herding cats? Do you know what 277 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:24,839 that refers to? One of the ex Senate minority leaders. 278 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,759 I believe it was what's his face? The cheerleader guy? 279 00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:32,480 What's his name? Anyway, he wrote a book about how 280 00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:35,759 hard it is to coalesce, how to get the Senate 281 00:19:35,799 --> 00:19:39,799 to agree, and he said, one of the reasons that 282 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,160 makes it so hard it's like trying to herd cats. Now, 283 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,920 if you think about cats and their personality, is how 284 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,759 difficult it would be to herd them up? For they're 285 00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:55,599 not like sheep. Went a few sheep dogs out, they 286 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,920 all fall in line with the cats are different beings. 287 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,960 Here's the problem with the Senate, and I'm glad, I'm 288 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:09,240 so glad you raised that, because the Senate is the 289 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:16,680 most difficult body to deal with. Because of this reason, 290 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:26,519 every senator, any senator, can stop anything in the Senate 291 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,960 with an objection. So when you go to for instance, 292 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,960 when you go to put up something to vote, any 293 00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:38,880 senator because I object, and they have to take a 294 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,519 vote on it. And now, depending on how popular or 295 00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:46,079 not popular it is, it's difficult when you look at 296 00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:48,440 the Senate. Also the way that it's comprised, where you 297 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:54,119 need super majorities to win, all you need with the 298 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,960 way that it's done is one or two three defections 299 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,119 on your side and you're in trouble. First of well, 300 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,240 it's hard for any side to get to the sixty 301 00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:05,880 because neither one of them have a supermajority. So you're 302 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:11,519 always gonna need some people in the opposition. So you 303 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:14,000 want a piece of a legislation in the past, you're 304 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,880 gonna have to try to peel off anywhere from seven 305 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,599 to ten members of the opposition, and they're gonna have 306 00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:24,440 to vote with you on areas where it comes with 307 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,359 a supermajority with the filibuster, which is why Trump is 308 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,000 saying get rid of the philipbuster. The filibuster is not 309 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:38,119 included in the Constitution. It is part of Senate rules. Now, 310 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,319 some of those Senate rules date back to the time 311 00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:46,440 of Thomas Jefferson, but the Senate rules can be changed, 312 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,480 and Democrats change the rules when they don't like the rules. 313 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,599 So Trump is like, look, the Democrats already saying they're 314 00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:54,359 gonna get rid of the sixty vote, then we need 315 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,480 to do it first and get stuff done with just 316 00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:03,039 a fifty one vote majority wins. But trying to organize 317 00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:13,200 when you have fifty forty nine fifty Republicans and five 318 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,519 or six of them are hard core Rhinos, And then 319 00:22:17,559 --> 00:22:19,359 you have a lot of the ones in the Senate 320 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,200 that are pretending to be conservative but they're not really conservative. 321 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,160 They go out on the election trail every six years 322 00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:30,480 and they pretend, oh, I'm the most conservative thing since 323 00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:33,799 sized size bread. They get to the Senate and they 324 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:39,519 vote moderately. And then you have the ones that live 325 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,880 in blue areas. They need Democrat votes in order to 326 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:48,960 win their senacy, like Sue Collins. So you get people. 327 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,480 It's a hard I'm not making excuses for John Thune, 328 00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,559 but I don't care who the Senate majority ly is. 329 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:07,279 When you have when you have such a close difference 330 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,039 in the majority in the minority, I don't care who 331 00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:19,359 it is. Republicans don't stick together like Democrats do. They're 332 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,559 more of an independent breed. Now, when Harry Reid ran 333 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,160 the Senate with his little iron fist there, Democrats didn't 334 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,799 dare cross that guy. You crossed that guy, you got 335 00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:34,960 in trouble. You don't go all the way back. George Mitchell, 336 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,359 who nobody probably remembers, he used to we call Diana 337 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,519 Princess Diana, and I used to call him the pharmacist 338 00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:44,640 because he not because he was a drug, because he 339 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,039 spoke to you like a pharmacist. Good a high? Can 340 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,039 I get you something? What is it that I can 341 00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:53,960 get for you? Oh, you're not feeling well? Well, let's 342 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,640 see if you go over and look at yourself too, 343 00:23:56,079 --> 00:24:00,720 we might have something for you. There. He was so genteel, 344 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:08,440 but he was ruthless. The guy was ruthless. He was 345 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,400 the perfect example of that phrase, the velvet glove on 346 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:24,799 the iron fist. So my point is that no matter 347 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,000 who is going to be the Republican or would be 348 00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:34,200 the Republican in charge of the Senate Caucus. In the Senate, 349 00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:41,880 it is a thankless ugly job. And no matter who 350 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,119 the person is, he's gonna get complaints he or she. 351 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,640 That's just the way it is. And that's not to 352 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,400 say I don't think that John Thune should be replaced either. 353 00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:58,319 But if he is replaced, don't expect everything to change, 354 00:24:58,599 --> 00:25:02,160 because it's not going to. The only change that is 355 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,079 going to happen in the United States and is when 356 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,839 we get rid of rhinos and replace them with Conservatives, 357 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,799 and there are enough Conservatives that they can rule the caucus. 358 00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:17,359 That's when things will change. It's a great question, Carlos, 359 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:26,680 speaking of which election time Sue Collins, who, of course, 360 00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:29,400 is up in Maine. They're trying to still figure out 361 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,799 who the Platinum, who the plant for Platiner is going 362 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,319 to be when they pull out their next Democrat to 363 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,400 run against them. How many sound bites have we heard 364 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,160 from Sue can This may be the first or second 365 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,960 time we've ever played a sound bite from Sue Collins. 366 00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:51,119 Let's play Sue Collins cut eight. This is Sue Collins 367 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,799 talking about go just play forty. 368 00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 8: Eight percent increase in the number of threads, that it 369 00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:04,920 is increase raisingly dangerous to be a Supreme Court justice 370 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:11,480 these days. And it's appalling to me that some of 371 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:17,680 the rhetoric is coming from public officials on both sides 372 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,200 of the isle, who should know better than to levy 373 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:30,119 personal and political attacks against the judiciary and the Court specifically. 374 00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:35,119 For example, a senator stood in front of the Supreme 375 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,359 Court building and called out two members by name, saying 376 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,960 that they had released the world when and that they 377 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,599 will pay the price. Other public officials have called the 378 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:56,119 Court corrupt, out of control, and serving an extremist agenda. 379 00:26:57,079 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 7: This overheated language. 380 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 8: This completely inappropriate rhetoric against the Supreme Court endangers the 381 00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:14,359 lives of the justices and erodes public trust in our 382 00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:16,119 system of government. 383 00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: Carlos had it right when he said that it was 384 00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:30,039 Chuck Schumer who made those remarks about the world win 385 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,519 that would be levied on the Supreme Court justices. But 386 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:41,400 my point is that it has been years now since 387 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:46,599 Chuck Schumer did that, and right now, even before an election, 388 00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:52,119 Sue Collins won't name names. It is the Democrats who 389 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:58,519 say the Supreme Court is unscrupulous and all these threats 390 00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:02,160 to the Supreme is the Democrats. But this is what 391 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:07,720 I mean. Sue Collins needs Democrats to vote for her 392 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,799 in order to stay in office. So she's not gonna 393 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:15,839 call out Chuck Schumer by name. She's not gonna call 394 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,240 out all these Democrats that have been up against the 395 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,400 Supreme Court. She just makes some statement platitude to keep 396 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:29,039 the Republican base. Oh, Sue Collins is aware, we're all 397 00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,240 supposed to say, oh wow, Sue Collin's just taking on 398 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,480 Chuck Schumer. I guess how we should support Sue Collins. 399 00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:43,920 She ain't even call them out by name. This, folks, 400 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,000 this is what I mean. But do we need Sue 401 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,279 Collins in the Senate? Yep. You are not gonna get 402 00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:56,039 a conservative running from Maine, a Republican MAGA conservative to 403 00:28:56,079 --> 00:28:58,319 be in the Senate from Maine, and you're not gonna 404 00:28:58,359 --> 00:29:09,599 get one from Vermont. So you need them hurting cats. Okay, man, 405 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,240 we got so much other stuff, but time is running short, 406 00:29:13,119 --> 00:29:20,279 you know, Pete Hegseth for Pete heg Seth. Play cut fourteen, 407 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:30,000 Just just play cut fourteen, Promelo. 408 00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:33,039 Speaker 4: Just an hour ago, the secretary of Forever Wars, Pete Heigs, 409 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:38,160 said that they are going to provide hormone therapy for 410 00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:45,759 male service members who don't have enough testosterone. This, by 411 00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:50,240 the way, is gender affirming care. And by the way, 412 00:29:50,839 --> 00:29:54,519 male members of this committee, watch what you vote for. 413 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,799 Do you really want the government getting into your business 414 00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:02,880 taking your test testosterone levels and determining whether or not 415 00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:07,039 you have enough testosterone? Are you male enough to be 416 00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:11,920 in Congress? That is the question now to go from 417 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:17,559 the absurd to the very very very serious. In the 418 00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:22,720 past year, forty percent of transgender and non binary young 419 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:28,759 people seriously considered attempting suicide. Instead of shaming and targeting 420 00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:33,119 them for seeking the care they need, as Republicans constantly, 421 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,640 do let us provide support to them? 422 00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:43,559 Speaker 3: Okay enough? Fifteen Becky Becca Blint from Vermont, the Democrat 423 00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:46,880 who said, and I quote, no, we got to take 424 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,480 a break that we need Hispanic people to wipe our assets. 425 00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:53,640 That is what this woman said. She has a comment 426 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,160 about the testosterone and soldiers, but we may have to 427 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,480 hold it until tomorrow because we have the clip of 428 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,200 the day coming up, and the clip of the day 429 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:09,000 to day is must here, must must must hear James 430 00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:13,000 Golden's sternly Fastestiuren American media continues, Do Not Go Away. 431 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,599 Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative. 432 00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 7: On the Red Apple Podcast Network. 433 00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:29,359 Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative on 434 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,920 the Red Apple Podcast Network. The clip of the day 435 00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:38,799 you want to hear it is the clip the day. 436 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, there was a ministerial. I guess that's 437 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:52,680 a word for summit, a ministerial about left wing political violence, 438 00:31:53,759 --> 00:32:00,680 about violence in the political sphere, and Marco Rubio was helldless. 439 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:06,200 This is apparently from the State Department. This came from 440 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:13,279 his speech at the ministerial today. It's just amazingly good. 441 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,480 Apprentice Diana and Lady Benedict made sure that I saw this, 442 00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:20,319 and thank you both because I would not want to 443 00:32:20,359 --> 00:32:25,960 have missed this SoundBite from Marco Rubio's Secretary of State opposite. 444 00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:31,799 Speaker 5: One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism, for example, 445 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,000 is that it sounds good in theory, but it never 446 00:32:34,039 --> 00:32:39,720 works in practice. That's actually not true. Communism does not 447 00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:43,000 sound good in theory. The world of envisions for all 448 00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:48,240 of US is small, flat, gray, leveled of all exception, 449 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,079 drained of all that is good and noble in the 450 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,480 human soul. The world of envisions is a world without courage, 451 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,519 a world without creativity or ambition, a world without heroes 452 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,359 or go or great causes to strive towards without a 453 00:33:03,359 --> 00:33:07,599 world without miracles, without myths, without men who rise above 454 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,519 the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things. And the 455 00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:15,880 world communism and visions is a world without God. For 456 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,359 these architects of revolutionary violence, the towering achievement of our 457 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:25,000 civilization for them, it's an unbearable humiliation, a reminder of 458 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,759 what they cannot do and a reminder of what they 459 00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:33,119 cannot be. So they choose instead to destroy. They attack pipelines. 460 00:33:35,039 --> 00:33:41,119 Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, folks, Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio 461 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:48,079 has come into his own Not that Marco Rubio wasn't 462 00:33:48,119 --> 00:33:51,119 a good or to a great order, someone say before, 463 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,960 Not that, I mean Marco Rubio advanced from the legislature 464 00:33:56,599 --> 00:34:00,799 in Florida into the United into the into becoming a 465 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,279 United States Senator. That wasn't an accident. He has advanced 466 00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:09,400 his career is out of an advancement, but in his 467 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:13,320 role as Secretary of State of the United States of America. 468 00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:21,039 Marco Rubio has elevated himself into a level that just 469 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:29,360 speaks of an incredible grasp of not just domestic policy, 470 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:37,840 foreign policy, but of the underpinnings of conservatism. And he speaks. 471 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:43,360 Every time he speaks, you hear it reflected. I'll tell 472 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,280 you something, Marco Rubio, this is one to keep your 473 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,840 eye on. Everybody's talking about whether it's going to be 474 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:52,280 Marco Rubio a JD Vance, and I'm not getting into 475 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,400 that right now. I'm just saying Marco Rubio has stepped 476 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,920 up into a level that he cannot and should not 477 00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:11,559 ever be ignored. The Beatles worked on two songs on 478 00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:16,400 this day in nineteen sixty nine, both from George Harrison 479 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:28,199 Something and the other one Here Comes the Sun, and 480 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:34,039 I love both of these songs. George Harrison, the Beatles. 481 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,320 May God blessed protect each generary single one of you, 482 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,960 your family's, your loved ones. Love and gratitude my friends 483 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,440 for allowing me to be with you, God willing.
