Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative.
Speaker 5: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: Attention, gettoheads, attention bow scouts.
Speaker 4: Y the pseudonym motion Nerdly It's time for the soul
of excellence.
Speaker 5: He as a radio host here in New York.
Speaker 1: The Rush Hour is on the air Rush Rush. Now
here's James Golden.
Speaker 6: Well, this is usually where we play the clip of
the day. There was no clip of the day today
because so much stuff is going on, but it wasn't clipworthy.
So welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Friday edition, the
already It's Friday Edition in busn ner Les Rush hour
fastest hour in American media. I my phone started ringing
early in the morning. The text messages were going off,
ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. What have you
to say now, James? Everything? These are from my friend.
I have a lot of friends that disagree with me politically,
and we're still friends. And I love them very very much,
and they love me very very much. I assume no
they told me they do. I believe them because we
do love each other. But anyway, ding ding ding ding
ding ding ding ding. Did you see what your president posted?
How are you going to defend this one? How are
you going to defend And then did you hear what
his press secretary said? How are you going to defend
this Everything we've been telling you about him and white
supremacy and what is true?
Speaker 3: And here's the proof today?
Speaker 6: All right? What are you talking about here? So I looked,
and at first it was only two or three headlines.
Right now, it's all over the place. It has been
all over the place, full scale, full scale red alert.
Trump's racist post about Obama is deleted after backlash. White
House earlier defending it. Trump deletes Obama ape video. Trump
and Trump shares video that includes racist depiction of the Obamas,
sparking backlash.
Speaker 3: Oh and then they're more.
Speaker 6: Tim Scott calls Obama's video shared by Trump most racist
thing I've ever seen out of this White House. So
when I so, when it started, I started being bombarded
with all of these text messages and calls, I simply
said one thing. I'm not going to defend it. I'm
not going to defend something that's indefensible. Look, I happen
to be an American who is black, and I am
proud of my heritage, both as an American and as
a black person. Or if you really want to get technical,
mixed race person but mostly black in America. I mean,
you start delving through the DNA, and most of us
find that these labels have very little meaning as to
who we are from a quote unquote the racial construct
anyway is something. But anyway, but I'm not going to
defend it. Why would I defend it. I think it's reprehensible.
I think the post was reprehensible. I think the post
cannot be defended. I think that I don't understand what
has accomplished except giving fuel to a notion that this
White House is sympathetic to racist and it goes beyond
that with many people, and this is where I draw
a disagreement. While that means Trump is a racist, no,
I'm not going there at all. Racism to me has
come to represent something that.
Speaker 3: You do.
Speaker 6: Not symbols. It's what you do. You can speak all
the beautiful, flowery words about people and how much you
love them, but if your actions show that you do
not love them, and your actions show that you mean
to harm them or have harmed them, that's what matters.
Am I justifying this to No. I've had friends send
me over the years some of these memes that come
out of Michelle Obama and I talked about it on
the program for years. Have had people on the conservative
side of the aisle send me all this crap about
Michelle Obama being a man, and I have responded to
it by telling these people I think is outrageous that
I think it's horrible that they would think this or
spread around memes like this. But at the same time,
we live in an age where people spread memes and
some of them are funny and some of them are
not about all sorts of things. Are you justifying No,
I'm not justifying anything. I'm not justifying it. But this
is the reality that we live in. Memes are everywhere,
and some of these memes are offensive. They just plain
are I have found. I mean, the memes about black
people being apes and being monkeys is something that if
you're black, and you're American, and you're of a certain age,
you've been dealing with this crap all your life. And
people that don't share the experience that black people have
in America, Ah, there they go again and complain, Okay, fine,
that's your attitude. But it's something that black people have
been dealing with all their lives. And by the way,
let us not just point the fingers outwards. The things
that some black people say about other black people is
something that we deal with all our lives. Some of
the things that I have said about other black people
I wouldn't say on the radio a certain type of person.
And these discussions have are within groups. This is the
real stuff. We talk about stuff with each other that
in some cases when you get together a group of
people that we would not want repeated elsewhere. Is it
right to publish these things from the Office of the Presidency.
If you're no, it's not. Is it defensible?
Speaker 3: No, it's not.
Speaker 6: Does that mean that I'm gonna be anti Trump, No way.
Does that mean that I forsake all of my past
support of Donald Trump? Nope, not at all, not at all.
In fact, it makes me focus on what is important
about this presidency for black people and for all Americans.
We're to talk last week with Princess Diane about these
baby accounts. There's no color line on that. This is
a mechanism that will allow future generations of Black Americans
to give a firm financial start to their children. It's
coming from the guy that today is being pilloried as
being a white supremacist, being racist. No democrat in American
history has ever, ever, ever suggested anything like this that
would be a wealth builder for every American, but particularly
for Black Americans from the day they are born and
allow for these people when they reach age of eighteen
through twenty one to actually step out, start their own businesses,
start a life, and enjoy their birthright as prosperous American
citizens if they take advantage of it. Is that more
important about a meme from a president. By the way,
and I'm not justifying the mean by saying this, but
let's keep this in mind too. Obama tried to take
Trump out with a coup. He tried to take the
President of the United States out with its phony Russia
collusion coup that we still have not gotten to the
bottom of, and spying not just on that campaign, but
on the incoming president. It's phony Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
All the lawsuits have followed. Donald Trump has said everything
in the world thrown at him. Does it make the
theme right, No, it doesn't make the meme right. Is
it an excuse for the mean No, it's not. The
things are independent. But I'm saying, let's keep the total
picture in mind. What the Trump administration is trying to
do with immigration will profoundly benefit not just African Americans,
but but it will have profound impacts on black communities
all around America. Why because jobs, the cost of housing,
the cost of education, and everything else that has been
skewed out of whack in American society, making the American
dream unattainable for so many people because of policies that
the Democrat Party put in place and keeping place to
suppress for their own power, that suppress the prospects of
black American enjoying the full freedoms that they earn as
being American citizens and that their ancestors, our ancestors have
earned in some cases with their lives against Democrat Jim Crow,
against Democrat slavery, and that's what it was, against Democrat hostility.
So I don't want to have any confusion about where
I'm coming from with this. And I say this to
my friends that are on the other side. I think
it's awful. I think the meme was awful. I'm not
excusing it. I think it's terrible. Am I offended? Well,
you know, offending me takes a lot because I've been
through so many so I've been called every name in
the book by white liberals, from Uncle Tom this to that,
to this to that, and I've learned to ignore this stuff.
And yes, I've been called the in word any number
of occasions on social media by white liberals, by black liberals.
I've been called every name in the book. So am
I offended? I've learned a long time ago. If I'm
offended by every little thing, I'm not gonna have a
good life.
Speaker 3: And I don't.
Speaker 6: I want a good life, So I don't get offended
by stuff that offends other people. But do I understand
why people are offended? Yes, I understand why people are offended.
Do I understand why people are not buying the Oh
it was a junior person, because usually if a junior
person makes a misstep like that, the junior person's out
the door that day with a big public announcement. Oh,
this was the culprit, We kicked them out. The thing
is telling that that didn't happen. But am I gonna
sit here and just rant and rave on how awful
Donald Trump is? No, because he's not awful. Am I
gonna sit here and say that this administration is full
of white supremacists that hole? They don't know because what
they're doing in policy shows that they want every American
to prosper and to benefit by their actions. And actions
are louder than words. And guess what, my friend's actions
are also louder than memes, even the ugly, heinous, vile,
reprehensible mean actions means actions are louder than memes.
Speaker 3: Am I excusing it?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Did it? Does it make me wonder? Why?
Speaker 6: Why bother with that? With so many other things on
the tip? Yes, am I going to denounce the President
of the United States?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Hail.
Speaker 6: No, will I denounce this particular action. Yes, and that's
all I want to say. Well, that may not be
all I want to say about it, but that's some
of what I want to say about it. James Golden
snurdly with you eight hundred, Well, I started to give
phone numbers. That's tomorrow. We're coming right back. Don't go away. Rush.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush
Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 5: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 4: James Golden, known popularly as both Snardly.
Speaker 1: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 6: I guess my next move is to get in front
of a camera with a god microphone and do the
last thing on.
Speaker 7: This planet that I will.
Speaker 2: But you made me do it.
Speaker 6: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you and your right wing policies
are making this woman become a politician against her will.
And yeah, I have friends, some people are texting me,
what what what's going on here? That hadn't heard They've
seen the video that was the meme that was posted, posted,
not created by posted on True Social and then deleted
after the outcry began of the Obamas as apes and
the outcry in AACP A friend of mine sent me
there they're posting and this is what Trump really thinks
about black people, especially during Black History Month, a stark
reminder of how Trump and his followers truly view people.
Speaker 3: And we'll remember that in November. From the in a AACP.
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, here's something I'm going to remember
and urge people to remember in November. Remember in November
how the Democrats are trying to make sure that the
worst harm that comes to people, especially those who live
in black neighborhoods, is unchecked by law enforcement, that being crime.
Remember all of the promises that have been made about
affordability and prosperity and what is truly happening. There are
a lot of things that black people should be remembering
in November about the way that they've been treated for
the last sixty years by people who claim that they
wanted to solve the problems of these black communities, yet
the problems still exist. And remember remember how black people
are still being used as political pawns, like with this
whole voter I D thing like black people are too
stupid to have IDs. Remember all of it if you
want to remember something.
Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 5: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 4: James Golden, known popularly as most Nervely. This is the
Rush Hour with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 7: The cartel, the cartel is targeting ICE. Agents and gangs
all across America are banding together to fight this book.
I needed this good news today. You've got to understand
if the cartel and rival gangs coming together to fight you, yuh,
and I am all for that.
Speaker 1: Go get them.
Speaker 3: Boys, yep.
Speaker 6: Liberal woman urging on the cartel as you say, cartels, honey,
the cartel and the gangs to come together and defeat Ice.
Speaker 3: And this is what Democrats are supporting. Okay.
Speaker 6: I'm still getting text in messages and emails and people
on this Trump thing. And I had planned to move on,
but I'm not gonna move on. I read you from
the NAACP. This is what Trump. This is what. This
is a stark reminder of how Trump and his followers
truly view people and will remember that in November.
Speaker 3: All right, if you're gonna.
Speaker 6: Remember this meme in November, I would like you, as
the NAACP suggests, I'd like you to remember a few
other things. Okay, Remember that the Democrat Party and the
NAACP in particular, never saw fit to spoke to speak
about when Planned Parenthood, which primarily puts its locations in
Black and Hispanic neighborhoods, when it was when it became
known that they were excuse me for being very graphic,
but this is what was taking place inside Planned Parenthood centurs.
Speaker 3: They were.
Speaker 6: Dismembering black babies parts and selling the parts of aborted
black babies. Remember that. Remember that these same people never
raised a voice when Kenneth Gosnell was found and prosecuted.
It took an Irish filmmaker to actually try to expose
that story after it became known in all its gory detail.
He's the most prolific serial killer in America and Democrats
never say a word about it. Remember that in the
places that the NEACP says you should remember in November,
like in Baltimore. We have a clip today from Baltimore
of the mayor who gave his wife all kind of
perks in Baltimore. And remember that children in Baltimore, especially
black children, cannot read and the numbers are astounding. I
think they found if memory serves me right, only one,
two or three children that could read on grade level
or do math. In other words, over ninety five percent
of the children in these predominantly black schools in this
city are failing and will never have a life. Remember, Okay,
so I'm getting a text insults wrapped up in fancy
box votes though insult. I'm sad and disappointed. He's our
leader and needs to act like a responsible adult, and
he was selected to lead us. That means respecting all
of us. If he wants to look I understand if
I said I am not defending the indefensible. The meme
is indefensible. I said it before. It is reprehensible, it
is vile. I've said all of that. I also said
there are more important things in life than memes. I've
been called nigger every time in my life. If you
don't have to beep it, I'm calling my I have
been called that word. I have been called that word
by liberals because of what I believe. I've been called
every kind. I get memes on social media saying to
me about stuff with watermelon, fried chicken, you name it.
All the stereotypes, and I'm not gonna sit around my
life and be insulted because somebody said something nasty and
mean to me. What do they do is what is
important and what I'm trying to say to many of you.
What is it that is happening in the political machinery
of America right now? You have a president that is
trying his best to bring prosperity to your community, to
also try to bring.
Speaker 3: Folks.
Speaker 6: We have the lowest crime rate in America right now
in over one hundred and twenty years, thanks to the
actions of this president. This affects your neighborhoods where the
killing and the murders and the crimes have been out
of control, in places like Memphis, in places like New Orleans,
in places where he in Washington, d C. For goodness sakes,
Chocolate City, these trump accounts. If you take advantage of
those and you're able to compound interest your money to
help your family, by the time your kids go from
birth to eighteen years old, they will have enough money
to start businesses. They will be in some cases millionaires
by the time they are in their thirties. That is
more important than a meme. What he's trying to do
with education, bring back trades and skills, for people instead
of warehousing them in these liberal and doctrination centers call schools.
That is more important to all Americans, but particularly to
Black Americans. There are so many policies. The fraud that
is being exposed, how your tax dollars are being misused,
and it is huge impacts you. And trying to cut
your taxes in and actually help you keep your own
money impacts you. This meme on social media impacts nobody
except for your feelings.
Speaker 3: Is it reprehensible yes? Is it vile? Yes? Is it racist?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 3: That meme.
Speaker 6: Is not what is reflective of what's happening in this country.
And one of the things that I'm going to continue
and say, you know what they used to say in
the Civil rights movement all the time, keep your eye
on the prize.
Speaker 3: Keep your eye on the prize.
Speaker 6: What I'm going to urge my fellow Americans to do
is keep your eye on the prize. For the last
sixty years, you've been living in neighborhoods where no one
cares that your children and your children's children, and even
your elderly adults are getting murdered, raped, pillaged, robbed. It's
just become a way of life. Oh that's the way
it is. Well, this president cares about that and has
done something about it for six for over almost five decades. Now, Democrats,
the party that most black people in America vote for,
have said, let's bring in people from other countries and
treat them better than we treat the black people living
in this country and in fact all American citizens, by
offering them sanctuary. They don't give your people sanctuary. You
see all this fuss about, Oh, they separate people from
their family they When did the Democrats ever care how
many black people in jail have been separated from their families,
or how many Americans in jail?
Speaker 3: None?
Speaker 6: None, Okay, right now, dealing with that immigration thing has
huge impacts every single policy that is happening on a
broad scale, from financial policy to dealing with crime to
dealing with education, has the best interest of all Americans,
including black Americans, for America to prosper. All right, Already,
his disrespectful comment is like a cow giving a bucket
of milk and turning it around and kicking it up. Okay,
it's a meme. It is a racist, viole, disgusting meme.
I've said it a bunch of times. It is not
the policies that are governing in this nation. Put your
own perspective in order of what is important for this country,
what is important for your family, what is important for
your life.
Speaker 3: And I'm going to tell you everything.
Speaker 6: That this almost everything I have my and look, don't
think I don't see some of the other stuff going on.
I'm talking right now, specifically to some of my black friends.
Speaker 3: Books.
Speaker 6: Yes, I know there's a move right now that's going
on to try to supposedly rewrite the h of Medga
Evers and say that his assailant wasn't racist. I don't
understand who in this administration thinks that this is something
they should be pursuing or why I didn't understand this
whole deal about trying to go after Martin Luther King
Junior with the National Parks and in terms of the
holiday that was another Who in this.
Speaker 3: Administration is doing this stuff? I don't know.
Speaker 6: And not only is a bad look, it's bad policy.
Those aren't the defining policies of the administration. And do
I support everything that any president does one hundred percent
know and their policies that this administration does that I'm
not going.
Speaker 1: To support, But overall.
Speaker 6: I'm like ninety nine percent in because the big things
that are happening into in America will completely bring more
Americans to the possibility where they will be able to
obtain the the American dream. And I'm not gonna get
deterred in supporting that because of a mean no matter
how violent reprehensibility is, It don't matter how shoddy the
excuses are. And let me just say this, there's a
lot of outrage now about this. You want to find
some outrage, go read your history. Go read what Thomas
Jefferson said about your black people, and I happen to
be related to that guy through DNN to DNA. Go
read what George Washington said and did. Go read what
Democrat Woodrow Wilson did by instituting Jim Crow on the
federal level, throwing black people out of civil service jobs,
and making state sponsored segregation the new norm in America.
He was a progressive. Go look at what LBJ did
with the Great Society and how that disrupted black families
and they're still suffering today because of it. Look at
what they do. Don't get caught up with what's being
said either on social media today or in the band
look at what they do, and Democrats, the Party of
Slavery in America, the Party of Jim Crow in America,
the Party of Black Oppression in America, has done more
and is doing more by their actions to suppress and
deny the liberties and freedom of Black Americans and their children,
and to keep them oppressed in failing school's, crime ridden
neighborhood woods, and fiscally distressed lives than any meme ever did.
If you're gonna get angry, get angry over the real stuff.
Speaker 3: As well as.
Speaker 6: Your righteous anger over a meme that is disrespectful and vile.
