Speaker 5: I The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative
on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 3: Welcome my friends to the Thursday edition in both Sturly's
rush hour, the fastest hour in American media. Doesn't feel right.
Maybe there's a good cop bad cop thing going on here.
Maybe they're working together, flipping it around a little bit.
Ill I'm reading a discussion that's going on about the
news story that has taken over the entire news cycle. Nah,
this is real, ugly bromance breakup. My theory. Oh, I
guess I shouldn't assign names to this because I don't
have permission to tell you who this chat is in between.
But two people very dear and dear and dear to
my heart are discussing what could be the biggest political
breakup in recent memory. And one person says, maybe there's
a good cop bad cop thing going on here. They're
really working together, flimming it around a little bit. They'll
get what they want in the end. And other person Nope, nope, nope,
this is real. This is ugly. The bromance is breaking up.
My theory is it Musk has huge daddy issues, surrogate dad.
Trump hurt him by not doing what he wanted. Teen
Elon is in meltdown. Now we're in a measuring contest
and Trump wins that one unfortunate. All of this unfortunate,
very unfortunate, but inevitable. Inevitable. Yes, my friends, the headlines
say it all. Musk says Trump would have lost the
twenty twenty four election without him as the big beautiful
bill feud continues. That's from Folks News. While speaking with
reporters on the Aural Oval Office hasn't been the oral
office since Bill Clinton days, Trump said he was very
disappointed by musk vocal criticisms of the bill. The president claimed,
Musk knew what was in the bill, had no problem
with it until the electric vehicle incentives had to be
cut out of it. Very disappointed, he said, because Elon
knew the inner workings of this bill almost better than
almost anybody sitting here, better than you people. He knew
everything about it. He had no problem with it. All
of a sudden he had a problem, and he only
developed a problem when he found out that we're going
to have to cut the evel v mandate. Musk pushed back,
said the President's claimed that this bill was never shown
to me, not even once. It was passed in the
dead of night, so fast that almost no one in
Congress could even read it. We talked about that yesterday,
and we're going to talk about that for a few
days to come. The Tesla founder has been a vocal
critic of the Trump administration and Republicans over the last
few days because of the legislation that the President has pushed.
Musk has taken to calling it the big Ugly Bill
and at one point advocated for a slim, beautiful bill Trump.
Elon was wearing thin. I asked him to leave. I
took away his ev mandate and that force w want
to buy electric cars that nobody else wanted, that he
knew for months I was going to do, and he
just rent crazy. Hey, the easiest way to save money
in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to
terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts. I was always surprised
Biden didn't do it. Oh. Turning to the New York
Times Live updates, Trump threatens to cut Elon Musk government
contracts as feud escalates. The President on Thursday threatened to
cut billions of dollars in federal contracts and tax subsidies
for Elon Musk companies, escalating a feud that unfurled on
social media and remarkably public and rapid fashion. Their unlikely
alliance dissolved into open acrimony, with the two men hurling
personal attacks at each other over matters both significant and petty.
It's remarkable how quickly this alliance unraveled. Less than a
week ago, President Trump fetted Elon Musk with an oval
office and off. Let's see. Here's an update. At three
twenty eight pm, after the President threatened to cancel contracts
with Elon Musk, company shares and publicly traded competitors to
must space Exploration program, SpaceX rose in value, ast Spacemobile
rose as much as five point eight percent, while Echo
Star rose to more than fifteen percent. Hmm, let's see
three thirty two pm. If President follows through to struct
to end government contracts with Elon Musk companies, it would
have massive implications for both Musk and space Exploration. Last year,
Musk companies were promised three billion dollars across nearly one
hundred different contracts with seventeen federal agencies. Just dodge know
most of these contracts are for SpaceX. Let's c going
back earlier in the day, three twenty two, Tesla stock
price slide has continued. The company is now down more
than sixteen percent, or in course to be the company's
worth fall since the onset of the pandemic back in
March twenty twenty, twenty twenty three, eighteen pm, this afternoon,
almost an hour ago. Not quite in the last hour. Oh,
this is ugly. Elon Musk continued his war of wards
with President Trump his warf words on X by claiming
that the President is in the Epstein files sill a
reference to government documents. He said, a nice day, three
point fifteen pm, still less than an hour before we
took to the broadcast air to inform you of the
day's events happening in rapid fashion across America. Elon Musk
is now setting his sights on Speaker Mike Johnson, essentially
calling him a hypocrite for voting for a package that
would add to the debt at a time when the
House is expected to adopt a package that would codify
spending and budget cuts put forward by the Musk led
Department of Government Efficiency. It gets worse from the air.
Just saw better. Just it's okay, folks, it's out there. Elin.
I had hoped to avoid this. When the first story
is come, I said, you know what, I'm not going
to really talk about this. Oh, that teacher is gone.
You know it was a craziness. I got a text
from America's small Caffeinated mom earlier, Rhonda Rhonda Shrock. She
sent me a picture of two ladies in front of
the White House. One had a T shirt on it,
and it looks all flowery and stuff until you actually
look at the bottom of the flowers. One of the
teachers says eighty six forty seven and they're standing right
outside the White House. She's a teacher at Middlebury Community
One in Indiana. She this was on a school trip,
so she decides to wear the eighty six forty seven
and pose in front of the White House. I just
got another text from america Small Caffeinated mo that teacher
has resigned today and that teacher is no longer threatening
young minds with or teaching young minds, depending on how
you want to look at it. Another headline. Let's see,
we're all over the place, folks, because that's where the
news is today. From the Hill. Trump threatens to cut
crazy Musk government contracts. While we already covered that Okay,
your thoughts quite welcomed. Maybe feel like taking some calls today?
We have We don't usually take calls during the fastest
hour of American media because we got so much other stuff,
and we have a lot of other stuff. But we
may take a few if Carls is up for it
at eight four, eight, nine, two to two, we may
take a few calls. Later on. We got plenty to do, folks.
I thought the big story of the day was going
to be Trump's travel band. Liberals are all already having
a cow about that, and the cow started. I think
we had Dan Goldman, Yeah, we have Dan Goldman somewhere.
You know. Trump issued travel ban last night, and this
is well thought out. The government under the Trump administration
has done in a risk assessment, risk assessment on a
lot of different factors. The proclamation suspended jury of travels
and immigrants from a bunch of countries here, Afghanistan, Mayamar, Chad,
the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Rita, or Haiti Iran, Libya, Somalia, Somalia.
I wonder what Ilhan Omar is gonna say about that.
So Dan and Yemen, and of course Democrats immediately jumped
to the conclusion that, well, the only obvious can be
the only thing that Democrats think about anything that happens
with Trump. They assigned the most horrible motives to it.
And I'm looking to see whether we have that because
I thought, I thought, do we have that Dan Goleman
response to the travel band. If not, we'll find it
for you a little bit later. But Dan Goleman pretty
much yeah, Dad, dad, dad, Dad. Let's cut four, cut four.
He was on with Kate Katie Collins from CNN and
of course the predictable Democrat Party reaction to the travel ban.
Speaker 6: Thomerson Dan Goldman of New York and it's great to
have you here, sir. I do want to ask you
about the auto pen and what is happening here at
the White House. But before that, the other executive action
that President Trump took tonight banning travel from these twelve nations,
restricting it partially from seven others. What is your reaction
to that move from the White House tonight.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's pretty consistent with what his quote unquote
immigration policy is, which is just essentially to keep anyone
who's not white out of the country, and that's what
he's trying to do with these massboard deportations of people
who are going through the asylum process, which is a
lawful pathway. That's now what he's trying to do in
targeting these specific countries. And so it's a combination of
this effort to push forward with this great replacement theory
as well as just to distract from what's really going on,
which is a revolt against his terrible reconciliation bill that
cuts taxes for billionaires and increases their deficit by two
and a half trillion dollars number.
Speaker 3: There is no revolt other than the elon was that's enough,
Dan Goldman and Katy We got to go to a
break anyway. But it's look, there are reasons that it happened, okay,
and there by the way our exemptions exemptions to it.
Why were this is from CBS News of all places,
why were the country selected? On the first day of
his second administration, mister Trump directed President Trump's CBS directed
officials to perform a security review of high risk regions
and make recommendations where immigration and traveler restrictions should be opposed.
The president said the factors considered were the large scale
presence of terrorists number one, failure to cooperate on visa security,
in ability to verify travelers, the travelers' identities, inadequate record
keeping of criminal histories, and persistently high rates of illegal
visa overstays. All of those factored into how the nations
were chosen. Not what the Democrats would have you believe
is that it's just it's a raised its He just
wants white people of Bologny. Yes, it's tiresome, but that's
all the Democrats have. James Goldin, slowly, do not. Whatever
you do, go away. Continue to enjoy the fastest hour
in American media.
Speaker 5: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
podcast network, The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and
informative on the Red Apple podcast networks.
Speaker 8: But the damage that he did was just really incredible.
He slashed two hundred and fifty thousand federal employees, more
than eighty five hundred contracts, more than ten thousand grants,
and his cutbacks on medical research cost the lives of
the foreign aid costs three hundred thousand lives, mostly children.
That's the damage that Elon must did. So I don't
think anyone should be listening to him about anything.
Speaker 3: I hope you have a good lawyer. You're claiming Elon
must murdered three hundred thousand children, Lady Benedict says, and
wants to know if Democrats are going to start buying
Tesla's again, And the comment has been made to me.
I hope, I hope this doesn't go on this stupid fight.
I hope there's more of this stupid fight. The world
is watching the whole way. You know what. That's a
phrase that I am just so sick in time. The
world is not watching anything. The world is too busy
making TikTok videos, having relations with each other. Regardless of
your tender mattress. We'll be back fast as our media continues.
The world is not watching, but they should be listening.
Speaker 5: Here The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red
Apple Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden Entertaining
and Informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 9: Today, I got told by my white Southern husband that
I need to get off my phone, get off TikTok,
and get my ass out into the real world and
I will see that I'm not being affected by everything
that's going on.
Speaker 3: In our.
Speaker 9: Yeah, presidency.
Speaker 3: Oh he said.
Speaker 9: That if I got out in the real world, I
would see that this actually won't destroy America. That's pretty
easy to say when you're a white person and you're
straight and you're married. Yeah, it's not affecting us, but
it's affecting a bunch of other people around us. And
if you can't have any empathy for that, and if
you can't stick up for people that are going through
absolute living hell right now, then shut your mouth. Oh boy,
how dare he tell me to get off my phone
and stop being informed?
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 9: Maybe he should get on his phone and learn and
see what is actually going on in people's lives. He
straight told me that Trump will not destroy America. This
will not destroy America.
Speaker 3: Yeah, poor guy. Okay, let's move on. We've got other
news to cover here. Want to get to things quickly.
We talked about this travel van very briefly. Again Democrats
with their one note samba racist, racist race. Everything is
either racist, sexist, or whatever instan is. And there are
valid reasons, including security reasons. Many of these countries were
not vetting the people that they were sending here whatever,
and there are exceptions, by the way, into this travel ban.
There are exceptions. The travel band outlines exemptions for Afghans
who assisted American forces and have special visas, diplomats, athletes
coming to the US for the World Cup, the Olympics,
and other spawning events. Dual nationality passport holders are also
exempted from this. It also includes exemptions for US permanent
residents and the spouses and children of US citizens who
have clear and convincing evidence of identity and family relationships.
So it's not some blanket ban on everybody from these countries.
As these uninformed, purposefully democrats, what have you believe? There
are some problems with the quote unquote big beautiful bill
on the Senate. We knew that was going to happen.
Senate Finance Committee Mike Croppo, corporal from Idaho's warning that
there are two likely no votes against the bill already
in the Senate GOP conference. One more defection and the
bill will not pass. But we know that both Ran
Paul and Ron Johnson are against the bill. We've heard
noises already from Sue Collins, and of course you know
Lisa Murkowski from Alaska is hanging out there. And I'll
tell you what we have. We have some sound from
somebody protesting outside of Ron Johnson's office today. And they're
not some pro bill person, they're just and again they
I guess these guys don't even know that he so
far is against the bill because this protest to cut twelve.
This is the same rant you heard Sonny Hostin talk
about all these people gonna die. Democrats have been talking
about that, haking Jeffries cut twelve. Here's what it sounds
like in the Capitol building outside Senator Johnson's.
Speaker 1: Don Johnson is killing people by kicking them off Medicaid
so he can give a tax break to fial companies,
which is evil. This is a choice he is making,
a choice he is making to kill people back health care.
Speaker 3: People will literally die. People are literally going to die.
This is the hysteria that is going on.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: I want to talk turn to a few other things
very quickly. We have one of the best I think
explanations of what's in the travel bill and also connected
with this business of the terrorists whose family was deported
on The Abbey Show on CNN, and of course Scott
Jennings just nails it. That would be cut one. And
let's listen and briefly folks, this was a good segment.
Speaker 10: I'm a Colorado judge halted the administration's attempt to deport
this attackers entire families, wife and children ranging from four
to eighteen. Let me just read for you, Scott, and
you can respond to what the attorney for the family said.
Punishing individuals, including children as young as four years old,
for the purported actions of their relatives is a feature
of medieval justice systems or police state dictatorships, not democracies.
Speaker 11: Is this family in the country legally or not?
Speaker 10: Actually, I'm not sure.
Speaker 11: I think they may not. I'm and obviously in the household,
you have extreme radicalism that has now led to the
literal burning of American citizens on the streets of this
country and a clear act of domestic terrorism. And so
again we have an individual district court judge stepping in
here to try to prevent the commander in chief of
the United States from protecting Americans from a clear invasion
of radicalism. That's number one. Number two regarding the travel ban,
he has a great reason. These countries don't vet people,
they don't share information people who come from these countries,
which all, by the way, the link is the governments
are essentially failed states. They're not functioning, and so they
overstay their visas. All of these countries present massive problems
for our own government when trying to figure out who's
coming here, why, and how long they're going to stay
and what are they going to do when they get here.
We have had an awakening in this country of the
abuse of the visa system. If you're on a visa,
you don't have a right to be here. You're a
guest in this country, and we've seen a number of
our guests turn on actual Americans that it needs to stop.
Speaker 12: Yes, he did run on another band, but the timing
is quite interesting because there's a Republican civil war right
now that he doesn't want to.
Speaker 11: Talk about civil war.
Speaker 7: Yes, civil war.
Speaker 12: Please, we know that the Republicans are at odds. Oh,
it's way, And even though I think it's a fake beef,
but I still think that this is trying to change
a subject away from this horrendous CBR report and this
anemic jobs report where thirty one thousand Measley private sector
jobs were add it. And so if we could be
talking about this as opposed to that, that's a one fright.
Speaker 4: So you think the Mosk.
Speaker 13: Trump fires like Reality TV, like Real housewives, and.
Speaker 12: They're making a fight so that they used to think
it's real.
Speaker 3: I'll give you credit for one thing.
Speaker 11: The Democrats are going.
Speaker 14: To take debate and make sure we talk about this
every time Donald Trump takes an action to crack down
on illegal immigration. Democrats take de bate and defend the
terrorists and illegal immorrants every single time, and they will
this time.
Speaker 3: And yes that is true. And wow, the fight has
now broken. I got a text from Princess Diana. This
text she sent me was a Bloomberg story that has
just broken. Musk says space X is going to decommission
Dragons spacecraft immediately. The Dragon spacecrafts will be what Carlos,
what what what? What speak? What is the Dragon spacecraft?
That's the that's the SpaceX spacecraft that goes up come
back down in lands by itself, by the way, can
be used again. And it's the one that helped rescue
those astronauts that got stranded up there when the Boeing
space capsule ride back home was can considered to be
too shaky ferry back and forth Americans. It's been very
useful for SpaceX. This thing is spiraling out of control
right now. This is not good. This is really really
not good. I'm just saying, we'll have to see where
it goes. Let's see Michelle Wu on immigration. I definitely
wanted to get to this today. This woman is the
mayor of Boston. That's cut nine. She has been outspoken
in her pretty much hatred for the Americans that are
bravely serving in federal capacity trying to get and follow
our immigration law. This is the latest from the Mayor
of Boston, Michelle Wu.
Speaker 15: I don't know of any police department that routinely wears masks.
We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks.
NSC one thirty one routinely wears masks.
Speaker 12: They are just a clarifier. You're comparing ICE, you said,
to NSC.
Speaker 9: One thirty one, the neo Nazi group.
Speaker 12: Are you comparing them to a neo Nazi group?
Speaker 15: What I said is that Boston police and no police
department that I know of at the local level routinely
wears masks.
Speaker 3: Yes, she is now comparing ICE to neo Nazis. That
is the mayor of Boston. Hakeem Jeffries also has remarked
about ICE agents and the masks. This thing has offended
democrats like these are the people that demanded that the
entire country mask up even though it wasn't scientifically necessary
or proven for COVID. These are the people that willrunning
around wearing masks inside their closed vehicles. These are the
people that were running around wearing mask outside when they
went for a walk with nobody else around, because they
just love the mask. These are the people that demanded
your school children wear masks, and some of them were
developmentally hurt by wearing masks. These are the people that
wanted to throw you in jail if you did not
comply with their mask mandates. These are the people and
also their vax mandates, and now they hate mask because
the ICE has to wear them to keep from being
docksed by liberal groups who are trying to cause harm
to these ICE agents and to their families. And this
is the Minority House Leader Hakem Jeffreys on ICE. Yes,
every single.
Speaker 13: Who's engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to
hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful
in doing that. This is America is not the Soviet Union.
Speaker 3: We're not behind the Iron Curtain.
Speaker 13: This is not the nineteen thirties, and every single one
of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how
long it takes, will of course be identified.
Speaker 3: So he is now threatening to identify ICE agents. So
what the Democrat left can go after them? How these
people are out of control? Okay? German Chancellor Frederick Mertz
at the White House today, cut fourteen. This I found
almost hysterical.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm here, mister President, to talk with you later
on on how we could contribute to that goal. And
we all are looking for measures and for instruments to
bring this terrible war to an end. And may I
remind you that we are having June sixth tomorrow. This
is d Day anniversary when the Americans once ended a
war in Europe. And I think this is in your hand,
in specific in ours now.
Speaker 5: Is not a pleasure day.
Speaker 16: No, that was not a pleasure in the long run,
mister President. This was the liberation of my country from
Nazi Nazi dictators, and we know what we owe you.
But this is the reason why I'm saying that America
is again in a very strong position to do something
on this war and ending this war. So let's talk
about what we can do jointly, and we are ready
to do what we can. And you know that we
gave support to Ukraine and that we are looking for
more pressure on Russia. The European Union did, and we
should talk about that.
Speaker 8: We will.
Speaker 3: Yeah, President brings up this is that tomorrow is the
anniversary of D Day. President. Yeah, that wasn't a good
day for you. Oh it's but he came back nicely
from it. I am getting so many tweets and things
from the tweets are still flying between Elon Musk and
Donald Trump. This is out of control. James Golden James

Don't Go Away.
Speaker 5: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden Entertaining and
Informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 3: I agree with her.
Speaker 11: I don't think she will, though I would argue that
it's pretty disloyal the political party that gave you your
biggest career.
Speaker 3: Shot that you've ever had.
Speaker 11: But I tend to agree with you. I mean, I
think the things we've learned in the last two years
is that the two least credible sources of information in
this world are the Gaza Health Ministry and Karine Jean Pierre.
Speaker 3: And when she.
Speaker 11: Puts this book out, every single person who reads it,
reviews it, or discusses it needs to remember that virtually
everything she said about what was going on behind the
scenes in the White House was an outright lie. And
so when she puts a book out, I think we
ought to treat it from a source that has a
proven track record of Lyne from the podium of the
White House to the American people.
Speaker 13: Oh, we will find it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been meaning to get to that story for
two days. Well, I don't know, maybe Saturday. James Goldin
is thirdly. Yeah, so many other things to discuss. I'm
just seeing if we can sneak one in eleven. This
is James Carville, folks, and I don't know. You tell
me will there be some blowback from this? James Carville, I.
Speaker 17: Tell you who just exposed in a more profound way.
And I hate this all the time. I mean, a
lot of you go to try and raise money from
really wealthy Jewish fundraisers. And he said, look, James, Democrat,
but I can't be a part of party because of
what happened at Colombia. What the did the Democrats have
to do with what happened at Columbia? By the way,
but because they have some students at Columbia fucking you know,
generally made an asset themselves. Well I can't do that,
but I can be for a party that that everybody
endorses the alternative for deutsch Land read the modern incarnation
of national Socialism if you will. And I just find
these kind of people. I literally my instinct is. And
they told me that you look at me right now,
I know you just want your tax cut. Now that
that that doesn't apply to me most most people, most
Jewish people see right through that. But the ones that
don't see through it, they just don't really at the
end of the day, they just want a tax cut,
and you can see it every day. So well, there's
a guy named Bill.
Speaker 3: That's enough. The wealthy Jews just want their tax cut.
According to James Carrville, we gotta go, folks. May God
blessed protect each and every single one of you, your family's,
your loved ones. Love and gratitude you're being here with
