Speaker 2: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network.
Speaker 4: Well here we are, ladies and gentlemen at the already
it's Friday edition of both Nearly's Rush Hour, and today
is already it's summer. Well, the unofficial started summer this week.
Of course, we have another few weeks to go before
it becomes officially seasonally summer. But Memorial Day weekend, as
you know, when it's celebrated, means that before you know it,
we'll be saying it's Labor Day weekend. And here we
are pasted another summer. But for now, let's enjoy summer
in America. Begins this weekend on the fastest hour in
American media. We begin our dive into the news with
Harvard University. A federal judge, US District Judge Jeffrey White
said that the Trump administration acted arbitrarily and capriciously. He
be a in efforts to terminate foreign students' visas. And
that's not exactly what's going on here. They did not
say that they were going to terminate the visas, as
I understand. What they were terminating is Harvard's right is
Harvard University program. What they suggested to the students was, Hey,
go elsewhere. If Harvey doesn't get it out, you can
go other places. You can move from Harvard because Harvard
is not complying.
Speaker 3: Now. Moments before the program began, I had my blood.
Speaker 4: Boil for a quick moment when I read a New
York Times article, which when I began reading a news
article on the New York Times from Vivian Wang reporting
from Beijing on the matter of Harvard. But I'll get
to that.
Speaker 3: In the meantime.
Speaker 4: Let us begin with the former president and day of
Harvard University, until, of course, he got in hot water.
This guy was a cool and hack. He was part
of the whole Clinton administration. Larry Summers, I think it
was his treasury guy, and then he left and did
whatever he did. He ended up at Harvard, and then
Larry Summers ended up in a whirl full of hurt
because he commented on women, specifically women in engineering. Maybe
Princess Tywood remind me I have to go back and
get the specifics of the case. I didn't have time,
and I was so busy looking through to remember completely
what it was that got Larry's butt in hot water.
But I think he made some comment about women not
being as it made it sound like women did not
want to pursue engineering as a career or as a
degree path as much as men, and that, of course
set off the entire left, even though it's true, and
so of course it's true, and not to say that
there aren't brilliant women engineers. There are plenty, But of
course commenting on anything that the Left doesn't like or
doesn't want you to comment on sets them off, and
they set off on poor Larry and Larry I just
by Larry, and then Harvard went downhill. From there, it's
been one successive who knows until that last woman who
was totally from the looks of it, incompetent. And then anyway,
Larry's back after the Harvard thing, and here's Larry Summers
commenting on the the brew haha at Harvard. By the way,
Harvard University is fofa They freaked around and found out
that the Trump administration is not playing. Trump administration said
send us these documents. Now I'm reading another article today
Harvard's claiming they sent to documents. Well, I'm not the
document checker. I don't know, but all I know is
Homeland Security says we didn't get the document from Harvard
and that they requested, and so they gave them seventy
two hours to either comply or whatever. Of course, Harvard
panties are in a wad to put the administration up there.
They don't want to comply with anything Trump. They don't
want to look like they're betting they're going to resist.
They're going to be the bad ones that stick it
to Trump. And they're finding out now. They found a judge,
of course in Baston right away who said, oh no, no,
you can't do that. We'll see, we'll see how this
ends up. In the meantime, form Harvard President Larry Summers.
Speaker 3: This is theous. It is illegal, unwise, and it is
very damaging.
Speaker 5: Why does it make any sense at all to stop
six thousands enormously talented young people who want to come
to the United States to study. If the Trump administration
has an objection to something Harvard is doing with respect
to foreign students, let it pursue the specifics of that
objection through the processes of law, growing six thousand students
out and denying the many thousands of students abroad who
have dreamed of coming to study at Harvard that opportunity
because they're angry about a fight.
Speaker 3: On other issues.
Speaker 5: That is not the way we do things in a
democratic country like the United States.
Speaker 4: It's certainly the way we do things. Yes, it is
the way we do things. The administration said that Harvard
had not complied with a list of demands that it
sent on April sixteenth. They wanted the records of protest
activity dating back for the last five years. Harvard keeps records.
Harvard has records. They want to know who these people
are that are disrupting universities.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 4: It's a really simple request. Their security keeps records. You
have all these foreign students here. They want to check
to make sure that some of these people that have
been disrupting the campuses are not foreign students who are
here as guests of the United States of America through
VISUS and the government has every right to ask for
that information. Harvard has been dragging its feet. They think
they have the right to not answer the government because
Donald Trump and the Republicans are running the show, and Harvid,
we don't have to answer to them. We are the
elite harvest. Well, they found out now. The lawsuit said
the university had been working to comply. That means they
haven't complied. You know, you have fifty three billion dollars
in your endowment. If you're saying you don't have enough manpower,
then hire some work them twenty four hours a day,
put them on shifts, comply with the government. This has
been going on for over a month. It's six thousand students.
They could go through their records. They could find out
what the government wants and get the information. Despite the
unprecedented nature and scope of the demands calling for information
on each student visa, Wait a minute, you have to
process these students.
Speaker 3: What's so on? Precedent about it.
Speaker 4: You have seven thousand people in on visa, the university
has to process them. You have the information. So how
is the scope of work a problem? It's not a
problem when the scope of work is to intake all
of these university students. How is it a problem to
outtake some of that information and send it on down
to the Trump administration's DHS.
Speaker 3: Don't give me that crap.
Speaker 4: Despite the unprecedented nature in scoop of the demands calling
on information on each student visa holders, don't you have
records on each one of those students? What's so difficult?
Harves is a submittedary required information on April thirtieth and
also complied with the follow up. Well, okay, let's see
if that if that be, we'll see yet on May
twenty second, DHS dean Harvard's response insufficient, without explaining why
or citing any regulation with what Harvard failed to comply.
The lawsuit says it references Donald Trump's post onto social
as evidence of his vendetta against Harvard. All right, we'll
see if they haven't complied.
Speaker 3: Boom.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: This was also the topic on CNN with Lulu Go
to see a Navado and f Chuck Todd. That would
be two f Chuck target ahead.
Speaker 7: The end of the day, what they are doing is
actually trying to make Harvard vend the knee. This is
not about protecting Jewish students, and this is not about
protecting you know, international students from not being safe. This
is about the federal government trying to impose its will
on an independent institution, which Harvard is. And it is
the most probable.
Speaker 4: Stop right there, just pause it. It is about the
government trying to get its will. The government has willed
that if you are a foreign student in the United States,
you should not be protesting disrupting campus life for other students.
You're damn right. That's the government's will and there's nothing wrong.
Since the people at Harvard University didn't see fit to
check some of these students and put them in their
damn place and tell them your guest of the country
stop disrupting. And since Democrat leaders are two chicken, since
they won't take on these leftists, it is up to
the federal government apparently to make sure the guests in
this country behave like guests in this count. If you
had done your jobs and stopped all of this in
the very beginning, and that goes for Harvard, that goes
for Colombia, it goes for Duke, it goes for Yale,
it goes to every Berkeley wherever else. These leftists think
they can just run and run amok and take over
like a bunch of spoil brat kids, out of control,
spoil brat kids. So damn right, it is the government's
will that if you are a foreign student and you're
coming here to dis wept, you are going to have
your ass taken out of America and sent your ass
back to the country that your ass came from. Damn right,
No apologies for it. We got to take a break.
We'll come back and finish her and get to F
Chuck Todd and the rest of these people that are
so miserable.
Speaker 2: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden on the
Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 4: All right, now, we decided we made an executive decision.
We're not gonna go back to Lulu Garcia Navarro. I'll
hold it till tomorrow and then we'll check in with
the F Chuck Todd part of that tomorrow, because I
want to buttress my point. But first, Princess Diana, she
always comes through. I love you, Princess. The president of
Harvard University provoked a fewer by arguing that men outperformed
women in maths and sciences because of a biological difference,
and that, as an example, doctor Summers told the conference
he spoke to about giving his daughter two trunks.
Speaker 8: He treated them like.
Speaker 3: Dolls and named them Mummy and Daddy. The left.
Speaker 4: The left had a cow, and the poor Larry Simmons
was gone to buttress my point about what I was saying.
This administration's intent on getting some of these out cut
twenty one, Marco Rubio with.
Speaker 8: A guest in the United States, Romelasa. No one's entitled
to her student jaw.
Speaker 9: Based on an off bed, which trump's the supreme law
of the land, which is the.
Speaker 8: Construt problems on our campus. We're going to revoke the
She didn't do any of.
Speaker 9: That, she wrote, bet she wrote, and I'm talking to
you about her particular case, and you reclaimed you reclaiming
my time. You revoked her student visa because she wrote
an off ed.
Speaker 8: Would you were going to do more?
Speaker 7: I have?
Speaker 8: We were revoked the visa of anyone who's in this
country as a guest.
Speaker 9: Are you going to revoke the visa of somebody who
made that case?
Speaker 8: I look at it.
Speaker 9: It's not just about revoking. If these are legitimate law
enforcement agents carrying out proper arrests, why are they hiding
their identities.
Speaker 8: Because then radical crazies will try to hurt them.
Speaker 4: So yes, this is what it's about, folks taking the
country back from these radicals. James Golden's thirdly, it is
the fastest hour in American media. Memorial Day Weekend underway,
Do Not Go Away.
Speaker 2: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network, The Rush Hour with James Golden on the
Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 4: And now Ladies and Gentlemen guest commentary from social media
concerning the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 1: Wake up, stop acting like somebody is coming to save us.
Speaker 10: They're not.
Speaker 11: You've got mother from the FBI to send it on Memphis.
Speaker 2: You've got politicians cutting benefits for everyone.
Speaker 11: You have immigrants being deported for.
Speaker 5: No stoddamn raison, taking kids from their families in Florida,
and you think what someone's gonna fix it?
Speaker 11: Get angry, Wake up, act like you give a Bood.
Speaker 3: It passed. Mmm.
Speaker 4: Huh, James Golden slurly with you here, Okay, I mean
the boy. Hey, I'm telling you all right, we've decided
executive decision. We've done enough with Harvard for today. Will
come back to it tomorrow because I still have more.
I have much more, but there were other things we
have to do. The crazy man that you heard of
social media upset about the upset, upset, upset about what
the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant was on Fox News and he
was discussing the Big Beautiful Bill with Bill Hemmer. And
we have I think two cuts from them. One deals
with that, the other. The news today that Trump and
Besson are just about tired with the EU, and Trump
said again, okay, EU doesn't want to play ball. We're
gonna put some tariffs on him. And by the way,
he won his friend Tim Cook. You want to make
your Apple phones overseas when it come in, We're gonna
slap some tariffs on them too.
Speaker 3: He's not playing anyway.
Speaker 4: Cut five, Treasury secretary on Fox News talking about this
whole notion. We talked about this last Saturday to Moody's
and some of the other bond houses have downgraded US
credit rating. It's a little downgrade, but they're saying over
concerns over the debt. And so Bill Himmer is asking
Treasury Scott Treasury Secretary Scott vesson't about that debt and
all of this whining that liberals are doing about the debt.
Speaker 12: Here it is and so economic growth here in your
comment there, this bill adds trillions to our debt.
Speaker 2: How is that acceptable to this administration?
Speaker 13: Well, again that you're referring to the CBO scoring, I believe,
which is tenure scoring and it's DC style scoring. So
we think that we can both grow the economy and
control the debt. And what's important, Bill is that the
economy grows faster than the debt.
Speaker 3: So what I would tell your viewers.
Speaker 13: To focus on is what I'm focused on, is what
Secretary Yellen was focused on, is what is the total
debt to GDP? Because we can grow our way out
of this. That if we change the growth trajectory of
the country of the economy, then we will stabilize our
finances and grow our way out of this.
Speaker 4: Now, I have mentioned to you that he also talked
about that we have all kind of moves articles about it,
but here's the bottom line. Trump threatening Apple, was it
twenty five percent tariff with EU? With the fifty percent
tariff EU not cooperating. Bill Hemmer asked Treasury Secretary Scott
bestn't about that and hits his.
Speaker 3: Hour ago quote.
Speaker 12: Our discussions with them are going nowhere. Therefore, I am
recommending a straight fifty percent tariff on the European Union
starting on June one, twenty twenty five, is about nine
days from now. There is no tariff if the product
is built or manufactured in the United States. And Treasury
Secretary of Scott Bessett here exclusively, and good morning to you,
mister Secretarium.
Speaker 3: Thanks for being here, morning, Bill, on what has turned
out to be a rather busy newsday, and good morning
to you.
Speaker 12: You were just in Canada the last few days, meeting
with members of the G seven the EU, and.
Speaker 3: I want to get into all of that. But with
regard to this move on the.
Speaker 12: EU, how bad was the conversation in Canada to lead
to this?
Speaker 13: Well, the conversation in Canada was fine. The problem is
the lead up to that, the ninety day pause on
the April second tariffs was based on countries or trade
blocks coming to us and negotiating in good faith. And
I believe the present believes that the EU proposals have
not been of the same quality that we've seen from
our other important trading partners. I've said there are eighteen
important trade deals.
Speaker 3: That we have to do.
Speaker 13: I'm working mostly on Asia, and that group has moved
forward with some very interesting proposals. They're negotiating in good faith.
We've already inked to deal with the UK. I think
there are a couple more coming in the near future.
So I think this is in response just to the.
Speaker 3: EU's let me get back to that in a moment.
I mentioned June first and nine days away.
Speaker 12: Is there an opportunity for negotiations in these nine days?
Speaker 13: Well, I'm not going to negotiate on TV, but I
would hope that this would light a fire under the
EU because Bill, I've said before, EU has a collective
action problem here. It's twenty seven countries, but they're being
represented by the one group in Brussels. So some of
the feedback that I've been getting is that the underlying
countries don't even know what the EU is negotiating on
their behalf.
Speaker 2: On Apple.
Speaker 3: There is more news to on that.
Speaker 12: Okay, here we go on true Social an hour ago.
I've long informed Tim Cook of Apple, but I expect
there are.
Speaker 4: And that was the Apple News. We cut it off
there because they already said the big deal. Hey, you're
gonna get some tires if you keep sending iPhones here
from overseas instead of making them here in the country.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's move on. We've got other news here, folks.
This is deep.
Speaker 4: I don't know whether we're going to have time to
squeeze it on, but we're gonna try. Senator Kennedy had
a discussion with the Secretary of Energy Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
We had to cut it up into three different parts.
I don't want to We're just going to go right
to it. You'll hear yourself. So let's start with fifteen.
Go through here.
Speaker 14: You go go back to some of your earlier testimony.
Be sure I heard it correctly.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 14: The seventy six day period you're talking about seventy six days.
Speaker 8: That's the period.
Speaker 14: Between the time that President Trump was elected and President
Biden left office. Is that right?
Speaker 3: The transition is correct.
Speaker 14: Transition during that short period of time, seventy six days. Okay,
how much taxpayer money went out the door of the
Department of Energy from.
Speaker 10: The Loan Program office in loans and commitments ninety three
billion dollars dollars for twice as much as in the
previous fifteen years.
Speaker 8: What How do you vet.
Speaker 14: And do due diligence on a loan in seventy six
days one loan, much less ninety three billion dollars?
Speaker 8: How do you do it?
Speaker 10: I think it's probably pretty clear it wasn't done in
many cases. As I mentioned, I'm told I'm holding back
clearly in place stuff. There is lots of funds that
have gone out the door and commitments that were made
from businesses that provided no business plan, no numbers about
their own financial solvency or how this project.
Speaker 8: So you're telling me the Department of Energy.
Speaker 14: In the seventy six day period transition before their boss
was going to leave office, Oh, transition, gave our loan
money to institutes that had no business plan, correct, no financials.
Speaker 3: Correct?
Speaker 10: A number of those were not even were before the
seventy six day period as well. That's that's I've come
in with great concern about how this institution, this great
American institution has been run and how American taxpayer money
has been handled.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry everyone's upset that we're.
Speaker 10: Taking some time to do it.
Speaker 8: But what we've seen, I'm up in record shows I'm
not upset. Could have received it. A lot of people say,
you haven't returned your calls.
Speaker 14: Could it be that you and your your colleagues have
returned the calls, but the people call and just didn't
like the answer.
Speaker 8: Could that be a possibility. I'm not. I'm not aware
of that.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 10: I give my cell phone number to any senator that
we do, and I return my calls.
Speaker 14: I mean, is your is your department gone dark? Somebody
said your department's gone dark?
Speaker 8: Is it dark over?
Speaker 3: There? Doesn't the dark?
Speaker 8: By no, I don't see any of you see rams.
Somebody made that charge.
Speaker 15: I see anybody's ms dark. Democracy dies in the dark.
According to The Washington Post, the doc be scared of
the dock, the docades out.
Speaker 4: The doc okay, so transition period all of a sudden,
more loans than the fifteen fifteen years, that seventy six
day period, little bit more than that. According to the testimony,
three billion dollars flaws out of the door in loans
impossible to vet. Let's pick up the discussion between Senator
Kennedy and the Secretary of Energy Christopher Rod.
Speaker 8: Let me ask you something Else's secretary, mm hmmm.
Speaker 14: Does anybody ever come to the Department of Energy to
get some of this free money.
Speaker 8: And lie to you?
Speaker 3: Now, who would lie to the government.
Speaker 14: I have not.
Speaker 10: Experienced that, but I think it's a reasonable assumption that
that has happened.
Speaker 8: Does anybody ever come to you.
Speaker 14: Or is it conceivable that some of these folks that
heard about this free money came to you with a
half baked idea.
Speaker 10: I think it's very conceivable. And in fact, I've seen
such plans that were.
Speaker 8: Would chable. They didn't have a business plan, right.
Speaker 10: Correct, A promise to develop one, to find a look,
give me.
Speaker 8: The money and I'll develop the plan later.
Speaker 3: Correct. This is insane.
Speaker 8: And now.
Speaker 3: Billion dollars not money that's already been caught. Okay, we
got it. Let's just just what I have to try
to get tomorrow. This tomorrow, if I can.
Speaker 4: You got the gist of it, folks, transition period, Remember
they tried to give Stacy what's your name down there
in Joja twenty billion dollars on a business that had
opened and had only one hundred dollars worth of business
in the year before. They were trying to give her
twenty billion dollars. I'm telling you these people, and they're
worried about a plane that we're getting from from Cutter.
This is all the hub hub from these people. Okay,
I got Kesha Lands bottoms here. We're gonna have to
scratch that. I'm just looking on what we can do
here with the time we have left, and not much
because this is the fastest hour in American media. But
I tell you one thing. Do we have two minutes? No,
we'll do it when we get back. I want you
to hear we have an interview from an actress in Hollywood,
and I just want you to hear the brilliance that
comes from America's acting community.
Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy The Rush Hour with James Golden on the
Red Apple Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden
on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 4: Apparently birthday to day for Robert Mogue, the inventor of
the synthesizer. The mog synthesizer was the first one. I
remember the first mode and then came the arp Odyssey,
and then so many is but the mog was it
the mog?
Speaker 3: The Arp.
Speaker 4: He passed away in two thousand and five, age seventy one,
but he invented his first electronic instrument when he was
fourteen years old. And birthday any day for Jewel. This
was hers Pieces of You, released in nineteen ninety five,
didn't hit right away, but then it caught fire I
think a year later or something, and this album just
swored up to number one.
Speaker 3: Man Who Will Save Your Soul? Okay?
Speaker 4: I promised you some Hollywood before we got out of here.
It's a glitz thing, so let's do this. Let's check
in with actress Natasha Leon. Don't ask me what she's in.
I don't know actress and actresses from anybody. I know
very few of them. But she's a big Hollywood actress.
She was interviewed by Hollywood reporter and she had some
profound things to say about about our society and things
going on.
Speaker 3: And here she is Trump.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yeah, and the orange drips. I what you know,
it's very weird to have like a showbiz guy and
John is surreal. I mean, because well, I'm actually pretty horrified.
By how strategic and effective this whole thing has been.
And I think there's a real disconnect in all of
the noise around like the individuals that are going to
be really taking the hits on an individual, like a
human basis in the trans community, gay community, black community,
you know, women like women the I hate violent so much,
and I just think it's it's like that's the part
of it. Like this country's always had, you know, insanity,
but to really have like a death toll and be
willing to do that is a pill too great for
me to swallow, Like beyond the sort of dialectic around
the oligarchs and whatever else. It's like when I think
of the kids, or like the twelve year old girl
that can't get an abortion or something, or you know,
it's that's what really like rips me apart that I so,
but you know, this is America, to quote childish Gambino
Donald Glover. So it's nothing we didn't know, but always
hard to see it front and I don't know, but.
Speaker 3: We'll keep trying.
Speaker 4: Wicked, that is a twelve years old girls can't get
abuation's apparently I don't know where that's happening, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 16: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: We have one more ladies and gentlemen from the left thirteen.
We have time for it, let's know, we don't. I
was gonna play, but then we'd run out of town,
so I'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow. Oh, just
play the first few seconds of it. We'll just fader out.
Speaker 16: Good morning, it's Monday. I have a question for those
that have voted for this administration. Yeah, yeah, did you
vote for the Department Education be taken out?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 16: Did you vote for that?
Speaker 15: Yes?
Speaker 8: Yes, I'm just curious.
Speaker 16: I'm sure you wanted to change things, but dismantling a
department that helps.
Speaker 3: Your children and they don't do that, that's the problem.
Speaker 16: Playing it with the States does not is not the answer.
Speaker 3: Especially Okay, enough for her. We got to go now.
Speaker 4: I can't respond to everything all the time because it's
the fastest hour and American media is already up, and
I have to go.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 4: May God blessing protect you and every single one of you,
your family, your loved ones, my friends. Love and gratitude
for your being here with me, allowing me to be
with you.
Speaker 3: Guy.
Speaker 4: Willing back tomorrow, seven am. Hope you are too. Until then,
