Speaker 5: Network for US vote. The OMB head posted this a
few minutes ago. It's a very straight and to the
point a tweet on X he said, and if you
guys could put it up, the riffs have begun. That
means a reduction enforce. This is what Russ Vote came
to the Oval Office to talk to President Trump about
last week when the shutdown began. They were trying to
figure out which agencies they could either temporarily or permanently
suspend or terminate, and a big part of that is
firing federal workers. An OMB source is telling us right
now that not only have the riffs begun, but that
they are substantial, which means that during a shutdown on
a Friday afternoon, whatever the White House considers to be
a substantial, number of people are receiving notices either from
their HR supervisors or via email that their services are
no longer needed by the federal government. Thrus Vote, I'm
gonna begin tirings out of employees that during.
Speaker 6: The supplement shotown taking place right down. It's all because
of the Democrats. The Democrats are causing the loss of
a lot of jobs with their Uh, it's a shutdown.
It's their shutdown, not our shutdown. It's their shutdown.
Speaker 2: Well, well, well, what have we here? Welcome my friends
to the already It's Friday once again edition of both
Nery's Rush Hour, the fastest hour in American media. As
you just heard, the riffs have begun reductions in force
Washington Post. The Washington Post says that Trump administration has
begins laying off federal workers amid shutdowns. The Trump administration
moved to begin laying off federal workers Friday while the
government was shuttered, fulfilling threats from President Donald Trump to
take advantage of the closure to shave off still more
parts of the federal workforce he dislikes. The riffs have begun,
White House Budget Director Russell Vote posted on x Friday,
using an acronym for the reduction in force. White House officials,
speaking on the condition of eminentanimity to discuss the plans,
confirmed the risks were starting, says there will be substantial.
White House did not provide specifics on how many employees
were affected, which departments were affected. Layoffs taking place in Commerce, Tweasury,
Health and Human Services, Education, and Homeland Security departments, though
that list is not exhaustive. According to multiple senior administration
officials and government workers who spoke on condition of amin
nominanimity to discuss personal matters. Well a little bit later
in the article, the shutdown Layers or the accumulation of
years years of groundwork laid by Vote, an architect of
the Project twenty twenty five playbook for Trump's second term,
which outlined a drastically reduced federal bureaucracy, the Vote's office
stretching into the hundreds, oh as threatened masters missials during
the shutdown, perhaps stretching into the hundreds, hundreds of thousands,
hundreds of thousands. Goodness, gracious, callos, did you hear that
hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of government workers might
be laid off? And you know what, there'd still be
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and
hundreds of thousands left. Go figure that Trump told reporters
before they shutdown he might fire a lot of people.
Wants to shut down begin Well, you know, look, I
want to be clear about something, and I say this
all the time, and I want you to please bear
in mind that I mean it, and I mean it sincerely.
I don't celebrate when people get fired from their jobs.
I'm not going to stand up here and wow wow,
because having been forward before in my life, it's traumatic
to be forred, it is traumatic to be Oh yes,
I'm just seeing texts from her majesty about that horrible
debate that Abigail's span Burger had last night against Windy.
It was terrible for her against Winsom Seers. By the way,
Winsome Seers is going to be on the scheduled to
be on the Saturday Morning Vibe tomorrow, so it will
be speaking. Hopefully all things go well with Winso Seers.
Now where was I? Oh, yes, I don't celebrate when
people get fired. It's traumatic to be fired. And you
know what, And I don't care who you are, unless
you really don't care about your job and you have
no no attachment to your work. If you are working,
are not expecting to be fired for cause, for not
doing your job for something that you or you're just
a lousy employee and you know it and they know it,
or if you don't have a work ethic. And I'm
not even gonna comment among that among younger generations because
that would be too true. It is a traumatic thing
to be fired, especially if you've got, if you're not
among the wealthy, if you're not among the well off,
if you're not among those who only work because you
want to work because not because you have to work.
If you have to work in order to keep your
bills paying, in order to keep juggling, as many people do,
unless they've reached the stage where they don't have to
juggle anymore. But if you have to work to keep
all the balls of your life in motion and to
keep everything pair, it is a trauma. It is a
trauma and a stressful trauma to lose your job. And
I'm not gonna make fun of you if you lose
your job. That said, Democrats don't care. Any sane person
in the opposition party that has watched the way that
this administration administration has done what they say they're going
to do, should have known that this was not an
empty threat. But Chuck Schumer TDS consumed and Hakeem Jeffries
TDS consumed have led a strategy that says we're going
to fight for the impossible. And their strategy seems to
be if it plays out long enough and if it
hurts enough, Trump will bend. And if that's what they're
banking on for this. Just buckle up, because not only
now do we see potentially thousands of government employees that
are perhaps losing their jobs right now, but if they're
expecting Donald Trump and the Republicans to bend on this,
they may have another thing coming. Folks. We're already in
day ten. The Senate has gone home, these senators, and
believe me, they're not worried about anybody losing their jobs.
They are going home and enjoying whatever they're doing on
the weekend. And so a bunch of government employees lost
their jobs. Do you think that they're going to be
working or calling them? How can we help, how can
we do something for you. They're gonna go about their
business and their schedule to come back when not even Monday,
because they don't have to show up Monday to work. No,
their work week starts on Tuesday, Carlos. They get out
of Dodge most of the time early on Friday afternoons early.
Try to get to DCA early and catch a flight
at around three o'clock in the afternoon. Good luck, that's Washington,
that's Reagan National Airport, fifteen minutes away from the Capitol.
Try to get yeah, it's just a hop skip right
over on the Virginia side. Try to get out of
there around three to four in the afternoon on a
Friday when Congress is in session. Good luck. And that
was before the shutdown. And now, well, I bet you
that all the TSA people are working not being paid.
Today's day they get their last paycheck, their last full paycheck.
But try getting out. Chyners beat you to the door,
and most of the time they don't show back up
until midday on Tuesday, Yes, midday on Tuesday, they usually
show up to NIC's life if you can get it,
you think that they honestly care that all these government
workers are being laid off. Well, okay, so we got that,
and we have a few on a few soundbites on that,
but we got to get to the Letitia sound bites today. Oh, Latitia, Letitia.
How much time do we have now? Not enough time
to be fair to Letitia. I want to be fair
to her. We have Winsome and Abigail Brandon Jonson, Christino,
let's do that. That's a quick When Christy Nome has
made an announcement that's playing in all of America's airports,
while that's supposed to be playing in all the airports.
You want to bet that there are some airports who
are saying, we're not going to run this announcement. We're
not out. Hell no, we're not playing. Cut number twelve.
This is Christy Nomes's announcement to the airport flights delayed
every in so many places around the country.
Speaker 7: Now, I am Christinome, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
It is TSA's top priority to make sure that you
have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible
while we keep you safe. However, Democrats in Congress refuse
to fund the federal government, and because of this, many
of our operations are impacted and most of our TSA
employees are working without pay. We will continue to do
all that we can to avoid delays that will impact
your travel, and our hope is that Democrats will soon
recognize the importance of opening the government.
Speaker 2: Have a train trick to wherever your final destination may be.

Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and
informative on the Red Apple podcast Network.
Speaker 2: James Golden, it is off Friday afternoon. Here, let's check in. Now,
let's get to a little lettah yeah, yes, Now Cassie
Hunt on CNN had this to say about the indictenment
yesterday of New York Attorney General Latitia.
Speaker 8: Jane Aside for a second, what tiss James, and again
we're still getting the details. But if it's related to
this mortgage issue, I mean, this is something that everyone
in America, or many people at least, if you're lucky
enough to be able to buy a house in America,
you deal with this.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 8: The federal government doesn't go after all of these people
for doing this?
Speaker 1: Does that.
Speaker 2: This is seeing in this Cassie Hunt, let's just get
to that again. Let's just break that downam in.
Speaker 8: For a second, what tiss James, And again we're still
getting the details. But if it's related to this mortgage issue,
I mean, this is something that everyone in America, or
many people at least, if you're lucky enough to be
able to buy a house in America, you deal with this.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's it. So here's ceing in Cassie hud this
is something in everybody in America. If it's this mortgage thing,
if it's cheating on your mortgage applications, this is something
that everybody, well, well many people in America do. If
you're lucky enough, if you're lucky, if you're if in
this horrible country you're in. I'm obviously just adding my
own interpretation of her remarks. Folks, if you're lucky enough
to be able to buy a house in this horrible country,
if you're just the few that actually even have a
house in you buy a house, you everybody cheats. Why
are they coming after Letitia for cheating on our mortgage?
So I wonder if anybody's gonna look at Cassie's mortgages
if she's a homeowner.
Speaker 10: Now, everybody cheats.
Speaker 2: Okay, Letitia, we are not going to have time to
play her full two minutes and eight second remark, but
just get the gist of it, because I don't want
to hear the whole thing anyway you've heard of this.
Speaker 11: Is nothing more than a continuation of the President's desperate
weaponization of our justice system. Who he's forcing federal law
enforcement agencies to do his bidding all because I did
my job as a New York State attorney. Gener Wow,
these charges are baseless, and the president's own public statements
make clear that his only goal is political retribution at
any cost.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks to Leucicia. Speaking of we'll talk about because
we've got some Leuccia from way back when we'll be
back with some of that. Keep it wrought here, folks,
don't go away, please.
Speaker 4: 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: My mission is clear. I'm focused, I'm prepared, I'm ready.
We've been trained by the best. I went to university, yes,
that overturned legal segregation in this country, the democratic classrooms
with very good Marshall once taught I'm not afraid of
no President Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: We're ready for you.
Speaker 9: We're coming for you, we're standing up for you, we're
fighting on We're not going down siding victory my.
Speaker 6: Friends, is clear.
Speaker 1: It's now and I'm not waiting four years.
Speaker 9: I'm waiting two and tell us speak about the name
of Hi King.
Speaker 2: Jeffries comes to bring us some rest.
Speaker 3: Come on, ladies, it's up to us.
Speaker 9: We saved this democracy before, we'll save it now. Let's go.
Speaker 10: Ready here the docking Jeffreys to do us some rest
though I'm come prepared, though I'm already. I'm my lister.
We're gonna save my figure from Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: That would be uh yes, Leticia James back in the day,
James Goldin slawly with you here, Yes, my friends, that
was of course Leaticia. Leaticia. Now, I was very puzzled
by a text chain that was passing me. Boy about
this Letitia's chain, and all of a sudden it turned
into Sesstuel and I'm like, what the heck is going
on with this? He's like, well, you know, Leuticia was
married to a father.
Speaker 1: Like hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 2: Let's not slander. Heyy hey, what are we saying here?
And then it said on the Brooklyn property, Letitia listed
her daddy as her husband. M that's a little weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fanny and her daddy. But Fanny's daddy was a different story.
Fanny said her daddy was the one that told her
to always pay in cash because that's a black thing,
and keep money, you know, in the house, don't put
it in the banks. That was Fanny's daddy, the daddy
of Fanny, the daddy Fanny. But she didn't ever, But
Fanny never said she was married to daddy. She didn't
put that on paper anywhere. He's a little teacher. I
don't know he married him. But daddy has just kind
of strawn. Isn't it even to put that on a
piece of paper sounds a little bit strange? Okay? Anyway,
believe it or not, there is pushback on this. Anderson
Cooper surprised a lot of people. This even was a tabloid.
The Daily Mail even went Google over this. One cut
five he was on with the famous baiter, the big baiter,
Jeffrey Tubin. You don't know why we call him the
big baiter, okay, jeff Tree Tubin was an analyst with CNN.
He was on a zoom call. During the zoom call,
he got caught work in the woody and seeing him
briefly suspended the guy. This was front page everywhere. He
was working his woody during some kind of zoom meeting
that they had became public and in almost every news
story not written by a liberal, they will point that
fact of Jeffrey Tubin's employment career out anyway, Anderson Coopery
was on with and that's why I called him the
big batter. He was on with the big beater. Jeffrey
Tuban was on with Anderson Cooper And this is how
that discussion went.
Speaker 12: According to PolitiFact, the day after she was elected in
twenty eighteen, Leticia James was asked by a community activist
if she was going to sue President Trump, and she replied, quote, Oh,
We're going to definitely sue him. We're going to be
a real pain of the ass is going to know
my name personally. I mean, that's not a great look
for somebody who has just been elected or just been campaigning,
who hasn't even looked I guess at deeply at any evidence.
Speaker 13: Well, that's you know that we live in a system
where attorneys general and district attorneys in this well mean,
it's it's a bizarre case in many respects.
Speaker 14: First of all, it's incredibly small potatoes. This is a
house that was purchased for one hundred and thirty seven
thousand dollars in twenty twenty, a year when the average
house in America was sold for three hundred and eighty
three thousand dollars, So any mortgage, any insurance on a
house of that value is going to be very small,
and in ordinary circumstances wouldn't draw the attention of the
Department of Justice. But more importantly, what is so chilling
about this case is that ever since Watergate, presidents have
imposed on them so the rule that they do not
interfere in criminal prosecutions, much less demand them. But here
you have a demanded prosecution and one that the career
people in the Eastern District of Virginia thought was an
unworthy case. That's a really chilling example of how the criminals.
Speaker 2: As well go chill. You go put your woody in
the refrigerator, freezer and chill that pal because there's nothing
chill about the Here's the deal. These all of these
DC types get on TV and try to pretend that
the Biden years never happened, the stuff that happened in
the Biden years didn't happen, that that dj was not
following the direction of the White House, was not following
Joe Biden's lead. They pretend that under Obama the Justice
Department was all it's just beautiful, wonderful independent agency, when
in fact, even Eric hold himself said, Hey, I'm Obama's wingman.
They didn't necessarily have to communicate through official channels to
know what they were doing. So let's stop this stupid
pretense that they try to sell on everybody every since
wire the Gate. Now a president his aver. That's a
lot of garbage. And anybody that follows politics knows it's
a lot of garbage. Okay, and number one, just because
presidents voluntarily put it on themselves.
Speaker 6: So what.
Speaker 2: We Democrats began to think they owned DC after they
newted Richard Nixon with Watergate. Trump is not Nixon in
that regard. He's not neuted by you Democrats, and he's
not gonna act like it, deal with it. And Leutisia
James came after Trump. Everybody knows it. Amoson Cooper, did
you Anathon Cooper acts surprised. Well, poly fact said this
and he acting like he'd never heard it before. We
all knew that. Letizia James even before she ran. She
didn't just wait to the day after the campaign. She
ran all the idea that she was gonna take Donald
Trump down. It was part of her campaign. So stop
this pretense or stop displaying your ignorance, whatever one. It
is a lot of these people in the mainstream press
don't know what we know because they don't follow the
news that we follow. They followed what they see on
their own echo chamber networks. That's why you get actor
Anderson Cooper acting all surprise. Oh that's not a good look. Well, hell,
we've been saying that as long as Letitia James it
wasn't a good look. Then it wasn't a good look
when she used the State Attorney's office. She and Alvin
Bragg and Fanny and let's not even talk about these
judges with their political connections that we're all supposed to
pretend don't exist anyway. So that's Anderson with debater Scott Jennings.
Of course, nail these nails it all the time. I'm
going to hold on to the Scott Jennings until tomorrow
because I want to get to some other things. And
daylight is fading for our hour. Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel, I
never watched the show. I saw a clip. I just
want to play it real quick. Get this out of
the way. Cut seven. It speaks for itself here, Jimmy Kimmel,
we want.
Speaker 1: To stand.
Speaker 2: There's no Antifa. This is an entirely imaginary organization. There
is not an Antifa.
Speaker 15: This is no different than if they announced they rounded
up a dozen Decepticons.
Speaker 2: We've captured the Trooper Cobra everyone. And then it was
Trump's turn to ratchet up the rhetoric with fiery images
conjured from No one has any idea where so Antifa.
According to this late night genius, there's no such organization
as Antifa. And this is what passes for nighttime television
in certain quarters of America. Now, as I said, tomorrow,
we're expecting to have win some series on that debate.
Last night was stunning. Three minutes of First of all,
you all heard about this Jay Johnson, who has said
this guy is running for attorney general, young black guy
running for attorney general of Virginia. He said of his
Republican opponent, he wanted to have fantasies of killing him
and not just telling him, of killing his children. Not
just kill the Republican, but he wanted to kill his
children as well. This woman running for governor refuses to
say this guy or to step out of the race.
This Abigail Spamberger wins some series. Just really let's listen
cut Ten as she deals with this.
Speaker 13: Over the last week, I've literally interacted with over three
hundred thousand plus.
Speaker 2: Real that's not the right one. We'll have to find it. Then.
I guess we're gonna hold it for tomorrow, because well, I.
Speaker 16: Think, as everybody knows, I'm a Christian, I'm a Christian
before i'm a Republican, and I'm required to forgive people.
And it's hard sometimes when somebody has abused you, etc.
But something you must do because not to forgive. It's
almost like, as someone said, you drink poison thinking that
it's going to affect the other person. And I want
to live a decent life and I don't want to
not have peace in my life.
Speaker 11: And so I, as I've said before, I would.
Speaker 2: Not say that.
Speaker 16: So that's why I'm wondering why my opponent won't say
beyond it's abhorrent and disgusting, why she won't it is
not okay, and that he must leave the race because
j Jones advocated the murder Abigail, the murder of a man,
a former speaker, as well as his children who were
two years, two and five years old. You have little girls,
what would it take him pulling the trigger?
Speaker 2: Is that what would do it?
Speaker 16: And then you would say he needs to get out
of the race. Abigail, you have nothing to say, Abigail.
What if he said it about your two children, your
three children? Is that when you would say he should
get out of the race, Abigail, You're running to be governor.
Speaker 2: This entire time, Abigail's pretending. She's just looking away like
she didn't hear a word. She is yet to answer
this question from anybody. A lot of Democrats do. Tim
Kane went so far as to say, hey, yeah, I know,
I still support the guy. I know, hm, I support him.
This guy advocated killing children, toddlers and killing his opponent,
and Democrats refuse to say he should not be running
for attorney general. It's stunning. Now, this whole transgender thing,
well that went next level. Okay, Katie Porter will have
to get to tomorrow. Katie Porter, she's imploding as she should.
That we got now just to briefly go back, Oh
oh oh oh. Adam Kinseinger. This is Adam Kinsinger, who,
by the way, also said Leticia James should have never
run on going after Donald Trump. But Adam Kinseinger had
something else to say about the men and women in
ICE that are helping to protect the country. And that
is cut number fourteen, I hope. And this is what
Adam Kintzinger had to say.
Speaker 17: And then you deport him and you piss all over
them so that you look tough on social media because
somehow it makes you feel strong because you never served
in the military. All these ICE agents and you think
that you know you were a coward, and now you
have a chance to go out and look tough. So
you're gonna grab a child and put them in a
zip tie. You're gonna take a mom away in front
of her kids and feel real tough doing that.
Speaker 2: Strength is not.
Speaker 17: Beating up, punching down on people less fortunate than you.
Speaker 2: That just makes you a piece of period. So Adam
Kinseinger has called ICE agents a piece of blank. He
claims they're cowards and that they're attacking kids. They're just
doing their jobs, folks. But this is what you get
from Adam Kinseinger. Noble Peace Prize. You all know what
happened there. And I look, the woman won this prize. Actually,
I think if there was still a real prize for
profiles and courage I think that Maria Karna Machado deserves that,
but she was one of the Peace Prize as well.
When she gave a shout out to Donald Trump, she says,
she dedicates the Peace Prize of the suffering people of
Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of
our cause. And you know what, here's the deal. Everybody
knows who Donald Trump has done. Everybody knows. Everybody knows,
whether they like to admit it, acknowledge it or not,
the efforts that Donald Trump has made in terms of
trying to secure a peace around the world. So okay,
let these people let the Nobel Prize humiliate and embarrass themselves,
because that's what they're doing. People see this, and the
bigger prize may be. But he didn't get the prized,
and everybody knows he should have, including some of his enemies.
So ladies and gentlemen, let's see what else we've got here.
Oh oh, oh, you know how Chicago says, nothing going
on in Chicago. Here's what's going on in Chicago. Cut
fifteen by way of Aurora, Colorado. Here's what's been going
on in Chicago.
Speaker 15: Police say the final suspect in a violent kidnapping case
from last year is now back here in Colorado to
face charges. Last December, a man and a woman were
allegedly taken into an empty apartment against their will at
the edge at Lowry Apartments. Aurora police say they found
the victims bound, threatened, they said, and assaulted. Today, the
police department announced the final suspect, Yorman Cuba Zabala, was
extradited from Chicago here to Colorado and booked into the
Arapaho County Jail.
Speaker 12: Police say with his.
Speaker 15: Arrest, all twelve suspects to the case are now finally
in custody.
Speaker 2: Those would be the trend that I brought people and
where was he hiding out in Brandon Johnson and Governor
Pritzker's Illinois and Chicago where it's okay to be a
lawless fugitive criminal.

Speaker 18: Donald Trump has turned the Justice Department into his personal
attack dog to go after his political enemies. This is tyranny,
This is outrageous. Every American should be horrified, absolutely horrified
about what is happened each day. Our case to fix
healthcare and end the shutdown gets better and better, stronger
and stronger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, chuck, you Schumer. As workers are laid off, their
case gets better and better. Yeah. All of a sudden,
he's worried about the doo. This is what tyranny looks like.
It wasn't tyranny when the government was throwing everything they
had at Donald Trump, his family and his associates, throwing
people in jail Navarro, remember jail, Remember Roger Stone jail?
