Speaker 2: The rush hour is on the air. Rush right now,
here's bos.
Speaker 3: Nerdly moments well within the hour or to go. In Congress,
the Republicans had a rebellion. Enough of them gathered together
to make sure that business got stopped so that they
could address a battle over proxy voting led by Representative
Annapolina Luna of Florida. They rebelled against their own leadership
and to try to block a vote on allowing proxy
voting for new parents. Annapolon A. Luna and others, including
some Democrat women and Republican men, some guys people that
I even whose vote voting record I think is admirable,
like Representative Tim Burchett, he was one of the ones
that cast his vote with her. Nine of them joined
every single Repubb Democrat. None of these Republicans, led by
Representative Annapolino Luna, joined the Democrats to vote against a
procedural rule that allows now there to be action forced
on this bill that basically makes it. You know, look, constitutionally,
members of Congress are supposed to be there to vote.
You're not allowed to vote from somewhere else. Even though
Nancy Pelosi broke the rules during COVID claimed it which
emergency allowed people to vote, and there were representatives who
took advantage of it, by the way, including one Democrat
who was out of the country partying and still voting
in Congress, who I don't want to mention his name
without the news story in front of me because I'm
a responsible person, don't want to make any miss but
he was from New York, by the way, Yes, partying
back overseas meanwhile voting in Congress, and the framers of
our constitution, the framers of this country, said nope, you
gotta show up now. What Anna, Anna, Paulina Luna, and
other women have pointed out was these rules were made
by men. If the argument sounds familiar, it is familiar.
Mostly all of them white men who started this country.
And these white men didn't anticipate women ever being in
position to be part of Congress. There were no women
allowed back then. In fact, women couldn't even vote when
these rules came into being. Many they didn't have the
right to vote. They were excluded. And now women are
in Congress. They have some of them have babies, and
they shouldn't have to show up today after having a baby,
they want to be able to vote or within the
first week two weeks they have newborns. In fact, some
of them showed up today with their infants, and they're saying,
and we deserve to be able to serve in Congress.
Mothers should should not motherhood should not prevent us from
serving in Congress. And after we give birth, we want
to be able to show up and vote. Not a
many people. That sounds very reasonable, Okay, but there's a well,
if you allow women, then why aren't you allowing why
aren't you allowing people who are sick? And we have
seen this year after year, session after session of Congress
where there's some important vote and somebody's dragged out of
the hospital literally, and this has happened as sick as
they can be to make it into Congress. In fact,
there have been members of the legislative branch who were
on their w we're dying literally and still managed to
get there for a critical vote that no one even
remembers now. But that's politics. So the question I act
of this audience. Now, by the way, this rebellion that
took place, Speaker Johnson is very very upset, you know,
he's pretty mild mattered. He speaks in that this is
a rory, disappointing result. On the floor there a handful
of Republicans joined with all the Democrats to take down
a rule that's rarely done. Johnson said, let me just
make this clear that role being brought down means that
we can't have any further action on the floor this week.
That means we will not be voting on the Save Act,
that's the act for election integrity that Republicans put up
a wanted to vote on. We will not be voting
on the rogue judges who are attacking President Trump's agenda.
We will not be voting taking down these terrible Biden
policies with the CRA votes. All that was just wiped
off the table because these wereen led by and Republicans,
nine of them, led by Republican Anna Pauline Luna, have
insisted that they're going to vote on this motherhood deal.
It's before everything. And then Anna is I guess, full
of herself, never better against the Luna, she says, And
then the other Democrat of the Democrat Peterson, holding her
infant in her arm, said their message to the speaker
was don't f don't f with moms. Well, somebody must
have f'd my mind? Just I, just I. How did
you get here? Why do you have the baby?
Speaker 2: Get here?
Speaker 3: Anyway? This is what Congress is speak to. How would
you callos you now? By the way, again, the Constitution
says you have to be there, but nobody. I guess
these women don't care about the damn Constitution. How would you?
I mean, you're a young guy, how do you see
this playing out? There work from home.
Speaker 6: It's very popular, and I mean, or it was very
popular like three or five years ago. So I don't
see any bad in this case. It's still their job.
But I'm not saying that you should be out partying
and you know, trying to do your job by voting.
But if you're sick, yeah, for sure. I mean you
should be able to do it from the hospital or wherever.
Speaker 3: Never mind, what to come says no, no, no, cool,
no forget. The Constitution's cool, okay, got it all right?
So I wonder what the audience is thinking about this
eight hundred eight four eight nine two to two two.
That's one of the issues. One of the other issues today.
Of course, there's a big I have never the numbers
are staggering how much money is being spent in the
Wisconsin Supreme Court race that is happening now. Bradchmeil, Republican
former state attorney general running against Susan Crawford, Dame County judge.
This judge, Miss Crawford led legal fights to protect unions, abortions,
to oppose this voter ID And what's really going on
with this election, if you want to, just the nut
of it is that if this liberal woman, Susan Crawford wins,
you can guarantee that Republicans are going to be redistricting.
That's the way that they're looking at this. Anyway, I
shouldn't say you can guarantee. They believe very strongly that
redistricting is on the way because it's in the courts,
and that they're going to be legals are going to
do their they're singing these Democrats and just redistrict them
out of office. So we've got that going on. We
had going on a rare case in Boston. An ice
agent has been held in contempt by a best in
judge for doing his job. We will get you all
of that and more. We will take a break so
we have some time for a change on the other side.
Speaker 7: The Rush Hour with bos Nerdly Nerdly on seventy seven
w DC, known popularly as this is the rush Hour.
Speaker 8: With has anyone figured out how to talk to Trump supporters?
Because I genuinely cannot figure out how to just.
Speaker 9: Have a conversation, Because I mean, even if you just
tell them read a newspaper, nine times out of ten,
they'll tell you no, what I mean, what do you
respond to that?
Speaker 3: If you don't even want to read.
Speaker 9: The newspaper, then of course we can sit here and
argue who's right and who's wrong, but we know that
actually has information and.
Speaker 3: One doesn't because you just admitted.
Speaker 9: To me that you don't read the newspaper for the news,
or watch the news.
Speaker 8: Or whatever get news.
Speaker 2: From any sort.
Speaker 3: I mentioned before the break, we're going to take your
calls on this business with uh. The rebellion in the
House of Representatives today that that closed all other business out,
the rebellion of the young moms who man that they
would be allowed to proxy vote even though constitution says no.
And let us I mentioned before that that there was
news out of Boston. It's quick. Here's a news report
from Boston twenty five News. Carlos s number six on
this whole idea of an ICE agent being arrested, let's.
Speaker 10: See con tense and unusual day in court as an assistant.
This comes after Wilson Martel Lebron was arrested last Thursday
outside of here by ICE agents even before his trial
was over. New video obtained from defense attorney marett Or
Kahn showing the aftermath of his client, Wilson Martel Lebron
after ICE agents took him away last Thursday.
Speaker 2: Or Cohn says.
Speaker 5: Lebron was leaving court for day one of his jury trial,
where he faced charges for providing false information on his
life since application. Judge Mark Somerville called an emergency hearing
at Boston Municipal Court last Friday where Tuesday troopers were
cross examined that continued Monday, with an assistant district attorney
for Suffolk County taking the stand about what information he
knew prior to ICE agents apprehending Lebron in the middle
of the trial.
Speaker 2: James Golden, known popularly as both snardly this is the
rush hour with those nerdly rush.
Speaker 3: And ask for calls. We have some calls on it.
Let's go to jan in Nassau County, New York. Jen,
you wanted to weigh in on this business, that this
rebellion that took place in the House of Representatives today,
representative from Florida and Apaulina Luna stopped with eight other
Republicans joined all the Democrats brought everything to a halt
because she's demanding that women who new mothers be allowed
to proxy vote, even though the Constitution says no jan
what do you say?
Speaker 11: Yes. First of all, James, I just want to thank
you for your program. You are truly a gentleman, and
you educate and inform and you're fabulous. That's what you
You're welcome. But I just wanted to tell you I'm
retired now, but I worked all my life and for
whatever reason, I don't have children, and so I climb
the corporate ladder and I'm happy to help out a
fellow worker if they need something, But I'm sick and
tired of covering for women who have children and expect
everyone else to bend to their will of making them
a mother. You can't do it all. It's a choice
to have children. And part of the choice is there's
one hundred percent of your time. There's not two hundred percent.
You have to give things up when you do something,
you have to arrange for care, and it's against the constitution.
And I just don't understand why everyone has to mother
their children or everyone has to be you know, I
want to go have my hair done on Wednesday. Can
someone cover for me? That's my important thing? Or I
don't have a kid to go home to. So that's
just what I wanted to say.
Speaker 3: Well, you said it very well, jan and I'm interested
to hear what other people have to say about it.
America's small caffeinated mom who joins us on Saturdays. I
just got a text in real time from Rhonda Shock
who says, you know what I think about motherhood, but
I'm very slow to recommend change the constitution makes me uneasy.
It's not an earth shadowing issue. Why push the really
big deals off the table? So then this is the
most important big deal. They're all out there with full
of puffed up don't f with mothers and although somebody
apparently already did that, don't f with moms, one of
the Democrat congresswomen said, and don't underestimate a luna. And
so I mean they're on full puffed up mode today
because they managed to stop every congressional action. Speaker says
for the rest of the week. We'll see Steven Pennsylvania,
you're up next? How are you this afternoon?
Speaker 4: Great James?
Speaker 3: How are you good?
Speaker 4: Just to get right to it, I think that there
are only two places that a congress person should vote.
One is from the Halls of Congress, and the second
would be from the El Salvador Prison I think it's concluded.
He and I'm a normal guy, right, I mean, this
is just the way it should be.
Speaker 9: This.
Speaker 12: I agree with you.
Speaker 4: We're about the same age. I remember people being dragged
in on cots to vote from their deathbed. And absolutely
and now and I like the prior caller, she's she's
you know, exactly right. It's a choice you choose to
have your children at this time in your life. Well,
you remember, Congress, you show up and next thing, you know,
I mean, look, the only person maybe could get her,
you know, are we on this is pete food to
judge if he becomes a member of Congress.
Speaker 6: Oh oh oh.
Speaker 3: No, no no, not nice joke. Not nice joke. We
leave that with alone. But Steve, now I hear what
you're saying is these women understood the conditions, what was
expected of Congress people before they ran for office. So
they get in.
Speaker 4: And now is that your point, yes, responsibility, You're representing
what four hundred thousand people, right, I won't show up
or whatever, I mean, you don't want to do it,
don't have your child, or resign, you know, resign you
can take a you know, yeah, or don't vote for
your constituen set you know that time.
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it. I look, I appreciate you, wigg.
I want to know if there are any young mothers
out there. I'll be curious to see what the young
mothers have to say about this. Uh, it's interesting. Okay,
we have other business I want to catch up with
really quickly. Yes, Corey Booker Sparta gust. I had to
remind myself with what his big moment was. Why do
I keep calling him Spartagust because during the Kavanaugh Justice
Kavanaugh hearing, he broke the rules he introduced, He released
emails he wasn't supposed to do. John Cornyn, the head
of committee, was under and he's like, this may be
the closest movement they get to see you spurtigists or whatever.
He said. Everybody mocked him. It's like you you're not
Sparta guess anyway he said that he well, last night
he stayed up all night speaking unbelievable. I think he
went by this morning it had been twelve hours, and
I think he kept talking. He took to social media
before his big talkathon that's cut eight to explain how
he what he was doing and why he was doing it.
So cut eight here's Corey Booker.
Speaker 13: I'm about to go to the Senate for where I
tend to recognize and when I am, I am going
to stop speaking. I'm going to not stop standing. I'm
going to go for as long as.
Speaker 3: I able to go.
Speaker 13: I've been hearing from people all over my state and
indeed all over the nation calling upon folks in Congress
to do more, to do things that recognize the urgency,
the crisis of the moment, and so we all have
a responsibility. I believe I'm going to do something different
to cause, as John Lewis said, good trouble, and that.
Speaker 3: Cause good trouble.
Speaker 13: Watch live on this platform.
Speaker 3: He's gonna cause controuble by staying up all night talking
and you can watch. That's what you want to spend
your overnight doing instead of sleeping watching Corey Booker. While
many of you didn't watch Corey Booker. So we have
just a little bit of Corey Booker. Cut nine gis Corey.
Speaker 12: People are sick and tired of being afraid to speak
their minds lest they be politically smeared as communists or
fascist by their opponents. Freedom of steep, he says, is
not what it used to be in America. It has
been so abused by some that it is not exercised
by others. So, Dear God, if I stand up in
this body and say it is wrong to put Pete
Hegseth in the cabinet as Secretary Defense because he's unqualified.
He's unqualified, he's unqualified. Look at a signal chat to
see how unqualified he is. The people of the United
States of America, all of us, have to stand up
and say no, not on my watch. I'm a Republican,
I'm a veteran, I'm a police officer, I'm a firefighter,
I'm a teacher.
Speaker 3: Not in America.
Speaker 13: We won't allow this.
Speaker 3: We won't allow this, we won't allow this. Thanks, thanks, thanks, Yeah, yes, Carlos.
Speaker 6: So you're saying he was talking all night, does that
mean there were people underneath like listening or was it
like an empty space and he was j justicing this?
Speaker 3: Believe me, the Senate chamber was empty, except they make
some posche love who's the President of the Senate, that
the pro temp that night has to stay there. So
then somebody has to stay there and listen to this
droning and this droning and this droning on from Spartacus,
and then other senators come in once in a while
to give him a break so we can go to
the potty or do whatever, and they just he yields
to them for a few minutes. At one point he
yielded to himself, even though he was it was just
a mess. It's it's, it's and no one cares. No
one's gonna listen to all this. No one doesn't even
want to hear him speak during the daytime, let alone overnight.
I mean, but Spartacus has to have his moment. He
did something important. He stayed up all night long, and
he spoke till he couldn't stand and talk anymore. Okay,
sparta is thank you. Yes. By the way, there's so
much more. This is now this you have to use
your imagination. This was perfect timing. I will describe to
you what happened. We're going to play, just so you know.
Carlos cut eleven. So you have a Senator Jim Banks,
who's on his way to somewhere in the Capitol building.
There's a guide behind him who's haranguing him. This ends
perfectly when you hear it end. He goes into the elevator,
the guy's still haranguing him, and then the moment the
senator finishes speaking, the elevated doors closed shut. That's the
timing of all this. Now here's the senator walking and
the person haranging him.
Speaker 14: Hi, I was a worker at HHS. I was fired
illegally on February fourteenth. Are there many people who are
not getting social service programs? Especially people with disabilities? Are
you gonna do anything to stop what's happening?
Speaker 3: You probably deserved it. I deserved it.
Speaker 11: I deserved it.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's great to hear.
Speaker 3: Why Why did I deserve it? Because you seem like
a clown. Okay, sir, you shouldn't have said that the
elevated doors. Are you gonna do anything about it? Well,
you probably deserved it because you sound like a clown. Perfect,
James Golden, more of your calls coming up. We've got
so much more.
Speaker 2: Is the rush hour on seventy seven Way DC.
Speaker 9: James Golden known popularly as this is.
Speaker 2: The rush hour with po Nerdly. James Golden aka bos
Nerdly presents rapid phones.
Speaker 3: Let's get as many as we can, Jim, make it quick.
Thank you for calling. How are you h yes, Jim,
how you doing.
Speaker 15: Wow, I'm from Boston, man. I want to hear your
dad accent.
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 15: What is the point the point you want to you
is that that with this new rule for women in
Congress that can vote remotely, I was just wondering with
these new rules that would implement the availability of this
procedure being revolving mostly around lacation.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 15: From their complete comedy, He's got he's got jokes.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Jim uh and yeah, besting, that's my
bad accent, my bist in accent. Mike in South Carolina?
How are you, Mike?
Speaker 16: Are you doing bo? Yeah? Real quick at the end,
you know, funny stuff. Maxine Waters, shame on you in
Jasmine Crockett and what you said Gaduet in Texas where
you refer to the governor.
Speaker 3: As wheels come on wheels?
Speaker 16: Yeah, hot wheels. And Maxine, you wanted you said, Donald
Trump want the civil war? Come on, you're an octogenarian
eighty six. I mean, you know you got a few
older years left and just stage left Maxine and done much.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now we're not wishing for Maxine to exit right now.
I don't do death stuff like that. But I understand, exit,
retire from Congress and live peacefully. Uh. Let's quickly head
to Sarah in Brooklyn, New York. Sarah, how are you?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 17: I'm fine and I enjoy your program. Let's I called
about the new law that went into effect today, the
compost law. But I would like to quickly, as a mother,
just say that my community, when it comes to voting,
we deliberately take the children to teach them the importance
of a citizen voting. And the people at the elections place,
they give these little kids stickers that they came with
their parents.
Speaker 3: So I would like that's lovely. I appreciate that. Now,
as for the compost law that goes in effect in
New York City today, residents will be fined if they
fail to separate leaf and yard food and food soiled
ill waste from their trash. They have to put it
in a special container otherwise you get fined. And I
just have this word to say, these people, folks are
nut and if they think this is gonna become if
they think this is really gonna work in New York delusional.
Jacqueline in Brooklyn, Hi, Jacquelin, James, Hi.
Speaker 18: You know I want to know why don't the Republicans
do jerrymandering and redistricting throughout the entire country so that
they can sue the elections just like the evil Democrats
do well.
Speaker 3: Because they don't number one in the red states, they
don't have to do it that much because they own
the states. Look, Democrats are in high population areas, and
in these areas like Wisconsin where they play games. In
New York where HKO is playing a nasty game, what
they're trying to do is wipe out the few Republicans
in the state that do have influence. Where are Republicans
gonna jerry mander they own? But anyway, and by the way,
don't think that Republicans don't jerrymander when they can. By
the way, Jacqueline, let's talk about this more. We gotta go.
May God bless and protect each and every single one
of you, your family's, your loved ones, love and gratitude
for your being here and allowing me to be with you,
God willing we are back tomorrow.
