Speaker 1: New York. The Rush Hour is on the air.
Speaker 4: Rush Rush Now here's James Golden.
Speaker 5: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the Friday edition of both
Speaker 5: Nerdley's Rush Hour.
Speaker 6: If you.
Speaker 5: Would like to be part of the program. This afternoon,
Speaker 5: eight hundred to eight four eight two is how you
Speaker 5: reach us eight hundred eight four eight nine to two two.
Speaker 5: It is a day of.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 5: I guess upset in some quarters of the world. Vice
Speaker 5: President Vance have so many stories. Dvance torches European leaders,
Speaker 5: NATO in disarray after the United States announces its security
Speaker 5: priorities lie elsewhere. Vance eviscerates Soviet style European censorship in
Speaker 5: an address to the Munich Security Conference, JD. Vance attacks
Speaker 5: Europe over this over migration, Advance, I guess lit it up.
Speaker 5: Closer to home, we have more chaos. The Kennedy Center
Speaker 5: staff describe a climate of fear fear as events drop
Speaker 5: from the calendar. Actresses and others. My friends have been
Speaker 5: saying they're not going to go on with the shows
Speaker 5: now that Trump has changed the leadership of the Kennedy Center,
Speaker 5: and uh, there's that. Then the w HCA has condemned
Speaker 5: this unacceptable. Unacceptable, I tell you unacceptable. The escalation as
Speaker 5: the White House bars the AP from a press conference.
Speaker 5: And when that story came out, then there was an answer,
Speaker 5: a clap back, if you will, from the White House
Speaker 5: after they said, this beautiful White House Correspondence Association.
Speaker 1: This is unacceptable.
Speaker 5: How dare the President ban the Associated Press from the
Speaker 5: the Oval Office? And then the White House clap back,
Speaker 5: They said, yeah, okay, take that, we'll raise you one.
Speaker 5: They're also banned from Air Force one. We're not going
Speaker 5: to be entertained. White House limits AP access to Oval
Speaker 5: Office and Air Force one. And guess what, it's indefinite
Speaker 5: from now one. So I guess now they're just warning
Speaker 5: the White House Correspondence Association keep talking, guys, keep talking
Speaker 5: about what you find unacceptable. I am so happy. Let's
Speaker 5: see how all these Washington insider press types deal with
Speaker 5: the fact that they really aren't in charge. A judge
Speaker 5: has set a five day limit for the Trump administration
Speaker 5: to start lifting and sending the money back to USAID.
Speaker 5: Another one of these district judges, a federal judge, you
Speaker 5: got five dis start sitting him the mini back. We'll see. Meanwhile,
Speaker 5: in New York stuffs hitting the fan. Latsia James had
Speaker 5: a hissy fit this afternoon over the I don't even
Speaker 5: know whether we're gonna get to it. We got so
Speaker 5: much other stuff to get to but Latisia James had
Speaker 5: a hissy fit. And then Xandorria Castes is now demanding demanding,
Speaker 5: demanding that Eric Adams be removed from office. Well, okay,
Speaker 5: much down the inner City Hall and kick him out, AOC,
Speaker 5: you miss badass, Just go ahead, kick him out. Kathy
Speaker 5: Hoko asked by Rachel Maddow, if begged by Rachel Maddow,
Speaker 5: practice somebody please please eb ad they have Adams on
Speaker 5: their target. Let's say you got all that going in
Speaker 5: New York. Meanwhile, of course, Tom Homan says that he's
Speaker 5: referred AOC to the Justice Department, a referral. Let's see,
Speaker 5: he wants an opinion. Is she trying to interfere with
Speaker 5: their efforts to deal with illegal immigration? So all of
Speaker 5: that is happening and more. But of course, before we
Speaker 5: tell any of that in depth, you know what today is.
Speaker 5: Carlos came in so clean today, he got a hair cut.
Speaker 5: I've never seen Carlos with a haircut before. I didn't
Speaker 5: even know his haircut cut. Probably went to the barbers.
Speaker 5: Barber's like, I don't know, sir, we don't know whether
Speaker 5: we can. We're gonna help you here. It's been since
Speaker 5: your first time in anyway. They even gave him a
Speaker 5: shape up. They shaped up they I didn't even recognize him.
Speaker 5: Almost Carlos came in and it was like, whoa, wait
Speaker 5: a minute, it's that day.
Speaker 7: It's what I needed a cut and I got a cut.
Speaker 1: You gotta cut hold on, hold on for Michael, wait here,
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 8: You.
Speaker 5: It's Valentine's Day. You Michael Henderson doesn't reach you.
Speaker 9: It's so okay.
Speaker 1: Now, this, ladies and gentlemen, is.
Speaker 7: Not as bad.
Speaker 5: One of the reasons I love Valentine's Day to get
Speaker 5: a chance to play. The great Michael Henderson was a
Speaker 5: bass player for Miles Davis others, and then broke out
Speaker 5: into his solo career.
Speaker 1: Amazing singer Michael.
Speaker 5: Valentine's Day twenty twenty five. Jaenis Scholand Post Center with
Speaker 5: you here. So whatever you've got planned tonight this evening,
Speaker 5: we hope that you enjoy every single moment of it. Jonas,
Speaker 5: of course happily married Jonas. I'm assuming Jonas, that you've
Speaker 5: already let your bride know how much you love and treasure.
Speaker 1: Her on this is Valentine's Day, haven't you, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I should have and I will after I get off too.
Speaker 5: M hmm.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing now, Carlos.
Speaker 5: I asked Carlos if he had a date for the night,
Speaker 5: and I was a little He got all stiffed up,
Speaker 5: got all clean. But he advises me that he'll be
Speaker 5: working tonight and he has to curtail his normal Valentine's
Speaker 5: Day activities. He had a date planned with Rihanna, but
Speaker 5: apparently she he had to call it off.
Speaker 1: She had to call it off.
Speaker 5: Oh, she called she Rihanna called it off because we
Speaker 5: all have to get up in the morning. We're here,
Speaker 5: God willing early, early, early in the morning, so some
Speaker 5: of us are not gonna have much of a night evening.
Speaker 5: But we certainly helpe that you enjoyed this Valentine's Day.
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen. We're sending it to you, sending you
Speaker 5: Michael Henderson, James Golden here both Selenbry's Rush Hower Valentine's Day. Okay,
Speaker 5: let us get into the uh. There's so much. There
Speaker 5: is so much to get to. I don't even know
Speaker 5: almost where to start. But since we started with this
Speaker 5: foreign policy business, let us talk about that very quickly
Speaker 5: before we get to our break. Vance lit them up, folks.
Speaker 5: Vice President Vance lit it up. He went before this
Speaker 5: Munich conference, all the EU leaders, the left doing leaders.
Speaker 5: They would not let into their conference members of what
Speaker 5: they call the far right or the far left. It
Speaker 5: was just their European Union, good Old Boys and Girls
Speaker 5: Network that were even allowed in. And Vance called them
Speaker 5: out on that, and he said, he said that the
Speaker 5: threat that he worries about most visa the Europe isn't Russia,
Speaker 5: it's not China.
Speaker 1: It's not an.
Speaker 5: External factor, he said, it's the threat from within Europe.
Speaker 5: He called them out on retreating from what he said
Speaker 5: were the fundamental values, things like free speech. He cited
Speaker 5: in it what they've done in Britain. I'm sure you've
Speaker 5: seen this, throwing a guy in jail because he was
Speaker 5: praying outside of an abortion clinic.
Speaker 1: Cop stops, what are you doing? You're praying?
Speaker 5: What are you praying about He's not allowed to pray
Speaker 5: apparently to yourself, to your God quietly in Britain anymore
Speaker 5: without the risk of going to jail. Vance called him
Speaker 5: out on them. He called out their campaign to destroy
Speaker 5: social media companies for their free speech. He pretty much
Speaker 5: told them that this idea of and between he and
Speaker 5: headseth of thinking that they're just that Ukraine is not
Speaker 5: going to have to give up any Land and there's
Speaker 5: not going to be a deal with Russia. They've disabused
Speaker 5: it and pretty much Van said, look in the future, Ukraine,
Speaker 5: this kind of thing you're problem, not ours. You're enabling Russia,
Speaker 5: especially in Germany with this Green New Deal stuff. You
Speaker 5: want Americans to fight these battles.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 5: He also called them out over their open borders policy,
Speaker 5: their migration policy, free speech, all of it.
Speaker 1: Now, I have.
Speaker 5: A reaction to his speech that I think is worth
Speaker 5: hearing from a guy by the name of Matthew Goodwin
Speaker 5: who's a commentator on gb News. That's cut fourteen and this,
Speaker 5: let's hear you know what that thing is almost two minutes.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. We'll take a break. When we
Speaker 5: get back, we will check out matt Goodwin from gb News.
Speaker 5: It was a great analysis of what's taking place over there.
Speaker 5: Your call is welcome, by the way eight hundred eight
Speaker 5: for eight nine two to eight hundred eight four eight
Speaker 5: nine two two two Yes, yes, trying to do too
Speaker 5: much respect? Why are we playing it? Otis redding Win
Speaker 5: the recording studio to day Atlantic Studios in New York
Speaker 5: actually and recorded his version. It was a ballad at
Speaker 5: first of this song, and he wrote it for Speedo Sims,
Speaker 5: a group called the Singing Demons.
Speaker 1: He rewrote the lyrics, sped.
Speaker 5: Up the rhythm and it became respect his version which
Speaker 5: he recorded. Then Resa got hold of it, and that's
Speaker 5: when Respect became.
Speaker 1: An iconic song.
Speaker 5: James gold It's thirdly with you here Valentine's Day twenty
Speaker 5: twenty five.
Speaker 1: Keep it right here, Do not go away. This is
Speaker 1: the rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 10: James Golden known popularly as bos Nerdly.
Speaker 4: This is the rush Hour with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 11: The lumin question on my mind on a daily basis
Speaker 11: is how working class people could be so easily duped
Speaker 11: into rallying behind billionaire South African yazis, whose open intentions,
Speaker 11: whose open intentions are to dismantle democratic societies for the
Speaker 11: sake of installing technocratic oligarchical rule, draining the earth of
Speaker 11: all its remaining resources, and pushing out natalist propaganda for
Speaker 11: the sake of accelerating a world ending event so they
Speaker 11: can have an easier time securing all those resources and
Speaker 11: ditching us to go do the same. I what what
Speaker 11: timeline is this?
Speaker 3: I'm this is insane.
Speaker 1: It's just so easy.
Speaker 11: They love it, they want it.
Speaker 1: It's it's like I'm in hell world.
Speaker 11: It's like I'm not on a real planet with real
Speaker 11: people want it.
Speaker 1: Honey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, They're doing a world ending event so that then
Speaker 5: they can plunder the resources after the world ends.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 5: On this day in twenty ten, Doug Fire passed away
Speaker 5: rhythm guitarists lead vocalist with the knack. This is their
Speaker 5: big hit in nineteen seventy nine. You know, this was
Speaker 5: the biggest hit for Capitol Records, went to the number
Speaker 5: one position a gold record, faster than any debut single
Speaker 5: since the Beatles I Want to Hold Your Hand had
Speaker 5: done in nineteen sixty four. Now, Sharona, he was twenty
Speaker 5: five years old. Doug met a seventeen year old a
Speaker 5: seventeen year old girl named Sharona Alprin. That's his Sharona.
Speaker 5: They hung out together for another four years. But yeah, Sharona,
Speaker 5: all right, I promised you A little reaction from Matt
Speaker 5: Goodwin of gb News across the pond Vice President Vance's
Speaker 5: speech there which has upset the establishment socialist, leftist European
Speaker 5: Union to no end.
Speaker 10: Here's his analysis media today, and it struck me that
Speaker 10: a lot of people who like to start wars are
Speaker 10: suddenly very angry with one guy who wants to stop
Speaker 10: this war and who have taken us into one disaster
Speaker 10: after another, war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, who has
Speaker 10: spent much of today on social media attacking Trump. What
Speaker 10: we're seeing, I think, is a reset of geopolitics, a reset.
Speaker 10: We're seeing the breakdown of what you might call the
Speaker 10: international liberal world order, which saw twenty thirty years of
Speaker 10: one foreign policy disaster after another. And Trump, you know,
Speaker 10: I was at the inauguration in America and people around
Speaker 10: the president are basically saying, you know, they've had enough
Speaker 10: of that constant interventionism, they've had enough of Europe. By
Speaker 10: the way, again, maybe a controversial point, but Europe not
Speaker 10: paying its way on defense, and they've looked to Germany,
Speaker 10: They've looked to France, they've looked at Italy, they've looked
Speaker 10: at the UK and they said, you know, what are
Speaker 10: you guys doing? You know, take Germany as an example.
Speaker 10: Germany under the Greens absolutely bonkers, becoming more dependent upon
Speaker 10: Russia because of its ridiculous energy policy, becoming more dependent
Speaker 10: upon China and then turning around and criticizing Donald Trump
Speaker 10: when he says We've got to end this war. I mean,
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, it doesn't make sense anymore. There are two
Speaker 10: things that need to happen.
Speaker 1: What right, it doesn't make sense anymore.
Speaker 5: We'll leave it there. James Golden snurbly Valentine's Day. Happy
Speaker 5: Valentine's Day to each and every single one of you.
Speaker 5: We're going to continue with bustling and news Russia. Just
Speaker 5: keep it right here.
Speaker 1: And enjoy it.
Speaker 7: Being with you on this Valentine's Day.
Speaker 10: James Golden, known popularly as both Nerdly.
Speaker 4: This is the rush hour with James Golden rush.
Speaker 11: To be clear, this is a local case with zero
Speaker 11: evidence that Biden orchestrated these prosecutions.
Speaker 12: There's no evidence whatsoever that the district attorney in Manhattan
Speaker 12: has any relationship with the Biden administrations is.
Speaker 13: Brought by a local prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, who doesn't respond
Speaker 13: to the federal government.
Speaker 14: He doesn't answer to President Biden, has nothing to do
Speaker 14: with the Biden administration other than the fact that he
Speaker 14: is a Democrat.
Speaker 5: You had to going nuts, ladies and gentlemen, the genesee
Speaker 5: and brings us back here. Singer songwriter nineteen seventy seven
Speaker 5: Janis Ian got received.
Speaker 1: Was spend one more beautiful.
Speaker 5: Four hundred and sixty one Valentine's Day cards from her fans.
Speaker 5: One of the lyrics in this one, at seventeen says
Speaker 5: lacking in social graces. One of the lyrics in the
Speaker 5: song says she didn't receive Annie never received the Valentine's
Speaker 5: State card. Her fans answered her with four hundred and
Speaker 5: sixty one of things say nineteen seventy seven seventeen, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I just got a text from a lovely, lovely woman.
Speaker 1: It's seventeen beautiful brown who says Valentine's Day ba humbug who.
Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no no no said pity.
Speaker 1: Please feel the love on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 5: My friend James Goldin is thirdly with you here speaking
Speaker 5: of people getting what they deserve. You know what, let's
Speaker 5: go since we were dealing with Rachel Maddow claiming, let's
Speaker 5: go to cut two, where she is begging, practically begging
Speaker 5: Hogel to fire use her position as governor to actually
Speaker 5: get rid of These are the people who always talk
Speaker 5: about democracy, how fragile democracy is, and here she is
Speaker 5: practically begging the governor of New York to fire Eric Adams.
Speaker 15: You are the only person who has the power to
Speaker 15: affect the fire Mayor Eric Adams and remove him from
Speaker 15: this position, which might conceivably moot this whole fight. How
Speaker 15: are you thinking.
Speaker 9: About that now?
Speaker 15: You could have done it at any point until now,
Speaker 15: But now, given this crisis that's emerged in federal LA
Speaker 15: enforcement around this case, are you feeling differently about that responsibility?
Speaker 16: Tell you from a couple of angles here. One is
Speaker 16: that this is unbelievably unprecedent for the Department of Justice
Speaker 16: in Washington to interfere in this way. My husband was
Speaker 16: a thirty year old federal product secutor. Barack Obama made
Speaker 16: him his United States attorney. You look at what happened
Speaker 16: here This is not supposed to happen in our system
Speaker 16: of justice. The bonding administration in that Department of Justice
Speaker 16: is already showing their corrupt. Now set that aside.
Speaker 1: Please reacting the.
Speaker 16: United States Attorney the allegation. They're extremely concerning and serious. Yes,
Speaker 16: but I cannot, as the governor of this state, have
Speaker 16: a knee jerk politically motivated reaction like a lot of
Speaker 16: other people.
Speaker 1: And what's smart, look what's right?
Speaker 16: And I'm consulting with other leaders in Goment government at
Speaker 16: this time.
Speaker 1: This just happened.
Speaker 16: I need some kind of process this and figure out
Speaker 16: the right approach.
Speaker 15: But you are consulting with other leaders, consulting with your
Speaker 15: advisors and looking anew at this matter.
Speaker 17: Of course, I am given the reasons, of course I am.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, because they dropped the case against Adams that
Speaker 5: was politically inspired by Joe Biden's corrupt Department of Justice.
Speaker 5: In that Department of Justice, I can't wait till cash
Speaker 5: Hotel gets in the FBI. Let's anyway, let's move on, folks,
Speaker 5: A lot to do here. Let's quickly change gears and
Speaker 5: visit the view for twenty seconds, Joy behar that would
Speaker 5: be number six still unhappy that Robert Kennedy was actually confirmed.
Speaker 18: How do you think ERFK is going to handle birds?
Speaker 18: Will just run over the chickens?
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean, why what is he going to do?
Speaker 18: Somebody said that they were free for their lives and
Speaker 18: also for the lives of their children and their wives.
Speaker 18: It's not just being not being reelected. It's physical preps
Speaker 18: that go on. All I can say is get your
Speaker 18: vaccines now, America.
Speaker 5: No thank you, Joy, You're gonna have vaccines when they're needed.
Speaker 1: Boil boy, oh boy, Okay, you all know.
Speaker 5: And I've seen reports on social media that Tom Holman
Speaker 5: has said he's going after AOC. This is actually what
Speaker 5: Tom Homan said when he was with law Ingram the
Speaker 5: other night on Fox. It is not clear that there
Speaker 5: will be any action taken against Congresswoman Alexander Leo O
Speaker 5: Costio Cordo tes yet. Anyway, this is what if you
Speaker 5: in doubt, this is what Homan actually said when he
Speaker 5: was with Laura.
Speaker 14: But Tom, you got AOC out there. Alexandra Casio Cortez,
Speaker 14: congresswoman putting out a webinar, doing a webinar to help
Speaker 14: illegals avoid I guess apprehension giving tips about how to
Speaker 14: continue to remain in the country and ultimately gain the system.
Speaker 19: And I sent an email today to Deputy Attorney General.
Speaker 19: At what level is that impedement? Is that impediment? I'm
Speaker 19: not an attorney, I'm not a prosecute. Is that impeedment?
Speaker 19: Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts?
Speaker 1: At SOL? What are we gonna do about it? Is
Speaker 1: she crossing the line?
Speaker 19: So I'm working with the Department of Justice and finding
Speaker 19: out where is that line that they crossed. So maybe
Speaker 19: AOC's gonna be in trouble now, but I need the
Speaker 19: AOG to opine on that. But because there's a impededment,
Speaker 19: it's impediment in my opinion, I'm not a prosecutor, but
Speaker 19: we need some further guidance on that. But again, if
Speaker 19: we have to take every federal dollar out of the city, lord,
Speaker 19: I mean we're done.
Speaker 1: We're all right.
Speaker 5: Let me move on, moving on to other things. Okay,
Speaker 5: so the alcs not baked in yet. Don't know it
Speaker 5: to be one hundred percent. Oh, Princess Thyana, this one's
Speaker 5: for you, my dear Donald Trump. President Trump was asked
Speaker 5: about Mitch McConnell voting against him on nominees and President
Speaker 5: Trump never fails. He always comes through with me. He
Speaker 5: was asked by Tate Caitlin Collins about it. So he
Speaker 5: does two things at once. He deals with Mitch and
Speaker 5: he deals with Caitlin. This is a brilliant answer. Caitlin
Speaker 5: Collins asking about Mitch McConnell, who is the only Republican
Speaker 5: to vote know on RFK and here we.
Speaker 14: Are r K Junior as the next Health secretary citing conspiracy.
Speaker 16: What's your reaction to that?
Speaker 9: Well, Mitch, and I was one of the people that led.
Speaker 9: He couldn't. He wanted to go to the end and
Speaker 9: he wanted to say leader. He wasn't. He's not equipped,
Speaker 9: wasn't equipped ten years ago.
Speaker 13: Mentally, in my opinion, he'd let the Republican Party go
Speaker 13: to Hello. The Republican Party wouldn't even exist right now.
Speaker 13: Mitch McConnell never really had it. He had an ability
Speaker 13: to raise money because of his position as leader, which
Speaker 13: anybody could do. You could do it even and get
Speaker 13: saying a lot. But the fact is that he raised
Speaker 13: money and he gave a lot of money to senators,
Speaker 13: and so he had a little loyalty based on the
Speaker 13: fact that as leader, you could raise a lot of money.
Speaker 13: Senators would call me and they say, he wants to
Speaker 13: give me twenty twenty five million? Can I take it?
Speaker 13: I'd say take the money, take the money. But he
Speaker 13: so he engendered there's a certain amount of I don't
Speaker 13: even call it loyalty. He you know, is able to
Speaker 13: get votes. But uh, I was the one that got
Speaker 13: him to drop out of the leadership position. So he
Speaker 13: can't love me. But he's not voting against Bobby. He's
Speaker 13: voting against me. But that's all right. He endorsed me,
Speaker 13: you know, Mitchmian. Do you know that Mitch endorsed me?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 9: Do you think that was easy? Well, he had polio, obviously,
Speaker 9: and I don't know. I don't know anything about he
Speaker 9: had polio. He had polio. I have no idea if
Speaker 9: he had polio. All I can tell you about him
Speaker 9: is that he shouldn't have been a leader. He knows that.
Speaker 13: Uh, he voted against Bobby. He votes against almost everything.
Speaker 13: Now he's a you know, very bitter guy. And uh,
Speaker 13: we we have a very strong party and he's almost
Speaker 13: not even really a very powerful memory. Let's say he's
Speaker 13: not a part he's lost his power and it's affected
Speaker 13: his vote, and you know, it's one of those things.
Speaker 13: But in the meantime, Bobby did great, got more votes
Speaker 13: than anybody thought. And I think he's going to do phenomenally,
Speaker 13: just phenomenally in that position. And everybody else likewise did well,
Speaker 13: not only well, they got more votes than anybody thought.
Speaker 9: Tulsie, look at how she did. She did great.
Speaker 5: Now let us continue. You know Donald Trump's lawyer, Aleena Habba,
Speaker 5: this woman is awesome. Before I play this down by
Speaker 5: for you, I want to go back and read, and
Speaker 5: those of you Rush fans will recall us. For many
Speaker 5: of us, the first time we heard the phrase in
Speaker 5: the political context, follow the money was when Rush was
Speaker 5: explaining some of the inner workings of the way that
Speaker 5: Democrats launder money, the way that democrats use money and
Speaker 5: use the government to become wealthy themselves. He said something
Speaker 5: that he talked about for ages, and he always was up,
Speaker 5: follow the money. If you have any questions about why
Speaker 5: certain things are happening in the political process, follow the money.
Speaker 5: So with that said, let us listen to Elena Haba,
Speaker 5: who was on Fox the other night discussing the abject
Speaker 5: panic in Washington over the things that Doge is doing.
Speaker 17: If we want to save money, people are gonna get upset.
Speaker 17: Why are they getting upset because we're taking money hits.
Speaker 17: The best thing that Elon Musk is going to do
Speaker 17: is going to look at people's salaries and say, Okay,
Speaker 17: if you make X amount of money and you're worth
Speaker 17: sixty eight million dollars, We're going to look at.
Speaker 14: Why that is.
Speaker 17: And that's really the bottom line. Because we could talk
Speaker 17: about everything every executive order, but there is a panic
Speaker 17: in DC at this moment where I now live, and
Speaker 17: it is very simple. We are cutting them off from
Speaker 17: their funding and that means politicians not just saving tax
Speaker 17: payer dollars, and that's where the panic is coming from.
Speaker 17: It's pretty basic. In our administration, we have a tremendous
Speaker 17: amount of billion who are successful businessmen and I could
Speaker 17: name them all, but we know who they are, who
Speaker 17: have taken a leave, sold their companies, walked away from
Speaker 17: their lives to sacrifice to help America be great again.
Speaker 17: There are many many. Now Elon's become a target for
Speaker 17: one very simple reason because he is cutting the funding
Speaker 17: to these politicians who have put their bureaucratic personal financial
Speaker 17: gain and interest above the American people. That is the
Speaker 17: difference that may not be felt by some of the
Speaker 17: other people that are in the administration that have done
Speaker 17: the same thing that Elon does that are incredibly successful billionaires,
Speaker 17: but they are targeting him because he is cutting their lifeline,
Speaker 17: their financial Listen, Nancy made how much money? And we're
Speaker 17: going to go down the down line of looking at
Speaker 17: all these people. There is no reason as a federal employee,
Speaker 17: me included, I shouldn't walk out richer from the federal government.
Speaker 17: That should not be the case.
Speaker 6: And I.
Speaker 17: And you don't do it. The only reason they're screaming
Speaker 17: about Elon it's very simple. Nobody has said it, and
Speaker 17: I'm gonna say it's because they're hitting their book.
Speaker 1: That's enough. That's it, and that's it. You got it.
Speaker 5: Follow the freaking money. Time is running on. I want
Speaker 5: to get some calls. But speaking of following the money,
Speaker 5: you gotta love the Controller of New York City was
Speaker 5: on with Chris Hayes from PMSNBC. That's cut eleven. And
Speaker 5: you remember how we the fifty nine million dollars that
Speaker 5: it was found out went against Donald Trump's orders. That
Speaker 5: was and they said, we're gonna claw this money back. Well,
Speaker 5: apparently it was Claude back and they're not happy about it.
Speaker 5: In New York City. Here is the Controller of New York,
Speaker 5: Brad Lander. He was on with pmsnbc's Chris Hayes.
Speaker 14: Anyone who's ever got a direct deposit knows that when
Speaker 14: it shows up in your bank, it's in your bank.
Speaker 1: You have the money. Let's be clear. I mean we
Speaker 1: spent it last year.
Speaker 12: We had actually moved it over the five days since
Speaker 12: they gave it to us. So when they actually did
Speaker 12: the clawback, it caused the account to overdraft by seventy
Speaker 12: nine point five million.
Speaker 1: Expected about that.
Speaker 12: On top of that, City Bank, this is an account
Speaker 12: at City Bank charged us a fifteen thousand dollars overdraft fee.
Speaker 12: I'm happy to say I reached out to City Bank
Speaker 12: and they have refunded the overdraft fee.
Speaker 1: That's mention of them. Better believe we're.
Speaker 12: Going to keep fighting to get every penny. You're still
Speaker 12: five million, you still have the money to us.
Speaker 5: Okay, So apparently they spent the money last year and
Speaker 5: then somebody from where was it this one came out
Speaker 5: of Yeah, DHS Homelands Homeland Security sent the money sent
Speaker 5: them fifty nine million, even though Donald Trump said, don't
Speaker 5: do it. That person, by the way, has since been fired.
Speaker 5: So they clawed back the money, but New York City
Speaker 5: had already moved the money around ended up costing them.
Speaker 5: So sixty million ended up costing them. They say it's
Speaker 5: through their accounts off by seventy one million. And on
Speaker 5: top of that they got smacked with the fifteen thousand
Speaker 5: dollars of fee which they got negated. Anyway, we have tomorrow.
Speaker 5: We're gonna be with Lizzie during the eight o'clock hour,
Speaker 5: God willing, everything goes well, Jamie Diamond is going to
Speaker 5: come up. We don't have time right now for Jamie Carlos.

Speaker 5: of expressing the sentiment and the frustration that many people
Speaker 5: have over the current younger generation workforce.
Speaker 1: It is brilliant.
Speaker 5: I can't wait till we play that one tomorrow on
Speaker 5: this Saturday Morning Vibe. And so we're gonna hold on
