Speaker 4: I The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative
on the Red Apple Podcast Network Attention dittoheads, Attention bo scouts.
It's time for the soul of excellence.
Speaker 3: He is a radio host here.
Speaker 5: In New York.
Speaker 3: The rush hour is on the air, Rush Rush.
Speaker 4: Now here's James Golden.
Speaker 6: The truth is there's a quiet civil war going on
in the Democratic Party right now. You have an extreme left,
radical left. Bernie Sanders AOC Mamdani is just the banner
carrier for that movement versus the mainstream moderate Democrats. They
now call me moderate. They used to call me liberal.
Now I'm a moderate because the whole party shifted. And
that's what this election is about. It is that civil war.
I believe that far left will destroy the Democratic Party.
I believe it will destroy the Democratic Party nationwide if
that far left becomes dominant.
Speaker 7: That of course the voice of Andrew Como running to
become the mayor of New York still ten points behind.
Thanks for telling us what we all know. The radicals
have taken over the Democrat Party. We've been saying that
for a long time, and the Democrats are on parade,
these radical Democrats all across the country and they have been.
Now you have, as he said, they used to call
him a liberal. He's still a liberal, but the party
has gone so far left they started calling him a
moderate now that is Andrew Cromo started to day about
Mondommie's mom ad minning he's not looped. She uses the
word I don't have the story in front of me.
That's basically sort of a jab at Americans and he's
not one of them.
Speaker 3: So much is going to happen in New York with.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 7: Let me before we get into some of the issues
of the day surrounding the federal government shutdown, let me
just say a brief word of I don't know concern
fears over what took place yesterday in the Caribbean island
of Jamaica. And look, this one really hits hard to
me because I've known and I'm friendly with people from
the island of Jamaica. Some of the people I most
admire that have really shown what wonderful character they have
and the intellect, frankly, from that tiny Caribbean island is amazing,
even though some of that intellect has a left leaning slant.
A lot I know a lot of liberals. It's like,
how can you be so smart and be a liberal?
But anyway, it doesn't matter. All of that those are
the kind of arguments we have here. But what happened
there yesterday with with this a Cat five hurricane hitting you,
even if you are in a very well well developed nation,
can be devastating. I fear we are going to learn
in coming days. For instance, I heard singing Elizabeth Parish
was underwater. It's what I read to they. I don't
know what that means. And the infrastructure apparently has been
so badly damaged that it's the word getting out of
how truly devastating it is is may take some time,
and I'm just going to hope for the best, pray
for the best, and pray for all those that have
been affected by this negatively. And that storm has now
moved off the Cuba, supposed to move to the path
of it is going up toward Bermuda.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll see just.
Speaker 7: A lot of thoughts and prayers for people there that
are suffering through that. The thing that we've been focused
on for the last two weeks. We were on this
well before with the beginning rumblings of it, and now
it has become an avalanche of rumblings on it. Are
the people who live off your taxpayer dying one way
or another, whether their government shut down people affected by Obamacare,
or whether it's the impending crises of EBT that now
everyone seems to be in a mainstream press paying at
time engine two. There's a lot more on that today,
ladies and gentlemen, and so we will begin our audio
treatment of some of it with Chicago Governor JB.
Speaker 3: Pritzker.
Speaker 7: Cut three, and this Pritzker held a presser, and this
is part of.
Speaker 8: What he said. Well, I think, well, we're trying to
hear what Pritzker saying, but he's not co operating with us.
I think we're having a little bit of a technical
glitch somewhere with Pritzker.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's move on. We don't have Pritzker.
Speaker 7: Let us see if we can go to somebody else,
how about representative masts anything there. We are having a
major technical melt down with our audio apparently, folks. And
I'm hearing one word that, So let me just kind
of frame what I wanted to get into. Democrats today
are blaming Republicans as normal, and blaming Republicans as they
usually do for everything. One of the things that has
come up over and over again. And you hear Mark
Kelly from Arizona talked about it as well, and we
have him. Mark Kelly rolls out the sad story of
a guy who's going to have a raise in payments
from Obamacare. And Obamacare is at the center of this
shutdown in many ways, as you know, because the Democrats
are claiming that unless the subsidies that they put in place,
that Joe Biden and the Democrats put in place during
the COVID year are maintained, that people are going to suffer,
and suffer badly, and so they have shut down the
government to try to force, they say Republicans to restore
cuts to Medicaid, and those cuts were essentially used as
a back door loophole to fund the illegal healthcare, the
health care for illegal aliens. And the secondary issue is
and we have to come up with something legislation to
stop these subsidies from taking heights in Obamacare when they
run out. Now, they could do that if Congress were
in session. So they cut they shut down the government
so the legislation can go through on Obamacare. But you
can't get legislation through unless the government's open. None of
this makes sense. It is political bs. But to me,
the largest stories are being hidden in both the EBT
looming crises, the Obamacare angle, and I should say in
all three and the medicaids. Oh, we do have Brian Masted. Well,
this is representative Brian mast and what he said regarding
this shutdown and where the government is with trying to
reopen to say.
Speaker 9: They're going to prioritize funding feminism in Africa over the
food stamps of their own people. They're not that stupid,
but apparently Hakeem Jeffries is, and that's a real problem
for all of us here. I was on the phone
with an ambassador this morning.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say where, but we.
Speaker 9: Have requests for people to leave embassies abroad because of
very real threats that are going on. The people in
that embassy are right now trying to figure out if
they have cash funding to get fuel for vehicles or
to have diesel to put in their generators because they
don't have reliable electricity in the places that they're in.
Those are the real world consequences while they're also worrying
about their paycheck isn't coming in, can their family back home,
buy groceries, pay their bill for student loans, pay for
the fuel to get their kids to school, or the
tuition at their children's school, or all the other things
that they have to worry about while they're worrying about
can they even get out of country?
Speaker 3: So those are the difference of values.
Speaker 9: I guess I would close it by saying this, we
need five Democrat senators to pull their heads out of
their asses and go work for the United States of America.
Speaker 7: Well, that is hardly what they want to do. But
I'm going to tell you something, folks, even if this
government reup opens, I think there's a larger issue here
for all of us, for all of us concerned about
how taxpayer dollars are being used and the lies that
we have allowed as Republicans to continue to evolve. One
of the things that we have learned this past few weeks,
and you will hear hopefully more evidence of it today,
is how rotten to the core the EBT program is.
There is massive fraud, massive.
Speaker 3: People.
Speaker 7: Forty two million people are sucking on your tax dollars.
Forty two million of them. Some of them need help
because they cannot do for themselves. Others are using it
as a way of life because they don't want to
do for themselves, and we're not talking a few, we're
talking many. We have also learned that EBT holds within
it the means for a scam. People amass thousands of
dollars on EBT electronic cards. They sell the car, they
sell their benefits, and in some cases it seems to
be an organized criminal operation with retailers taking and paying
them in cash a percentage of what the card is worth,
and then cashing in the whole amount. So for instance,
a person gets three thousand dollars in benefits, they'll go
sell them get a thousand bucks if that. If a
retailer is involved, they end up charging the government to
three thousand dollars, making a profit of two thousand dollars.
There's a whole network of this of scams. There are
other people that are using the EBT cards and we've
known as because they have been arrested in New York
with people that with fake EBT readers, and they're buying
all sorts of things from weed to getting services that
have nothing to do with food. It is a corrupted program.
I had a call yesterday with an official after the show.
I call because I'm still trying to track down the numbers.
There was a report on a cable network that said
over half the people on EBT are not United States citizens.
And this report specified where these people were from the
refugee status that they had. As soon as they come in,
they get money, and so the claim was made that
on half or more of the people collecting EBT benefits
are not American citizens. I am trying to track that down.
I called a well known immigration expert to see and
he said, I read the same thing. I saw that
same report you saw. I'm trying to track down those
numbers as well. Once if we can verify that, I'm
going to go through case by case where your money
is going. But I think it suffice to say that
the EBT program is not only a failure in many ways,
it is a scam that is actively being perpetrated on
the American people as a means of underground economy for
people who does not want to work, for people who
should be working, and for people that the government is
subsidizing to have baby after baby after baby with no
requirements at all, as long as they're permitted to live
off of you. And it is time to end that
cultural rot that is part of EBT. And it is
time for it to be brought out in the open, exposed,
and for the American people, hard working people, to stop
being forced to pay for the cultural degradation of their
own country, and for people who do not want to
make the effort to take care of themselves. This James
Golden snurbly fastest our on American media. Then we get
to Obamacare. We'll do a little bit of that when
we get back. Almond Brothers sad note nineteen seventy one.
On this day, Dwayne Almond lost control of his motorcycle
and making Georgia. He was trying to avoid attractive trailer.
Three weeks shy of his twenty fifth birthday, Dwayne Aumond
of the Almond Brothers was killed back in nineteen seventy one.
James Golden snurly with you Don't Go Away Rush.
Speaker 4: This is the rush Hour with James Goldenly The Rush
Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative on the Red
Apple podcast network.
Speaker 5: James Golden known popularly as most Nerdly.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 7: Yes, my friend's fastest hour, and media continues. This is
a perfect example of what I'm talking about, and I
realized something too. A lot of the voices you hear,
and make no mistake about it, you can tell sometimes
who you're listening to by what they sound like. Many
of the voices that you hear are from African Americans.
That's not by design, that's just on social media, the
overwhelming number of comments are coming in from them, not all,
and I try to balance it out when I can
find others. But sorry, that's just a fact of life.
This next guy you're going to hear has to be
maybe twenty twenty five. He's in a car. Can't tell
what car, but it seems to be a nice car.
For little bit you can see and listen to this.
This is exactly what I'm saying. Why this program is
so corrupt.
Speaker 8: No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 10: Donald Trump, come to.
Speaker 3: The front line, baby boy.
Speaker 11: I am Donald Trump, and I'm I'm gonna make America
greater again. I'm gonna build this I built this country,
I made this country, and we're gonna bring it back
and bring it to the fourth the end of the world.
I am Donald Trump, and I served this country into
the United States.
Speaker 3: Mother fast.
Speaker 10: You coulda you coulda y'all better reopening government because I.
Speaker 3: Need my stamps.
Speaker 10: That's one thing y'all not gonna do by you crazy,
I live off of these stamps.
Speaker 3: Open that.
Speaker 10: I bet you one thing. I bet you by November.
No before November, you got a couple of days by
I'm gonna give you to Novend first to open this
this stump because I need my stamps and I need
it now.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't even play them games. No, open and
open the government backup. I need my stamps.
Speaker 10: I live off them them hole like, No, I'm not
playing with y'ally. I think I'm for real, but I'm
I'm I'm for real, but I'm not and I'm not
playing for reactively.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm fitning first of all, highly uneducated. Secondly sense
of entitlement. And there's so much more. We'll be back.
Don't go away, folks.
Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative.
Speaker 5: On the Red Apple podcast Network. James Golden, known popularly
as most Nerdly.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 12: So you think the food stamps thing isn't a problem,
but my nephew, my brother may struggle to feed my
nephew if they don't get food stamps, even if Wick
comes through, that's enough for my nephew. What is my
brother supposed to do, or his wife, or their roommate
or their roommate's son. What is my family supposed to do?
My mom, who's on disability because she has a stroke
and she can had to get around and can't work
a job like a full time job, has been door
dashing to put money back in the bank to prepare
for November since we most likely won't be getting food stamps.
Yet it's not a problem to you people. My mother's
going out and putting yourself in pain, But it's not
a problem.
Speaker 7: Many of you that have to work manually put yourselves
in pain every day so that you can feed your
families and keep your self respect and dignity by working
and doing your best under difficult challenges, and you don't complain.
Yet we get people in grates who have been living
off of you, the hard working people, for years, and
now they blame you because all of a sudden, the
Democrats have engineered esteem to try to accomplish something politically
because they're mad that they lost the election and couldn't
get it in votes. So now they hijack the government
and now these people are mad blaming you, these ingrates.
Never the word thank you. Never we're grateful for the
assistance that the American people have given us, Never a
word of thank you. All it is is straight up
blaming you for their life's condition. I'll tell you it's
kind of sick. Now there's something else that happens here too,
and I'm going to try to get through as many
of these as I can. Let's go with listening to
some of the Democrats still defending this nonsense. Here's Jake
Tappers and in Representative Stanbury from New Mexico. This one's
all over social media, always trying to blame Trump, always
wine with the same nonsense. She was on with Jake Tapper.
That's cut for and this is how that exchange went.
Speaker 13: Should the Democratic senators from New Mexico, your home state,
vote to open the government so that these snap funds
are not at risk?
Speaker 14: Let me be clear. The administration is choosing to starve
American children with money that they already have appropriate the
White House. This is a choice by the White House.
Speaker 13: Is also this is also a choice by Senate Democrats
to not volks open the government.
Speaker 10: Yes, it is.
Speaker 13: I understand why they're doing it. They're doing it because
they want Medicaid funds restored. They're doing it because they
want Obamacare premiums to be extended past the end of
the year. I understand the reason.
Speaker 14: I let me just be clear. The money for contingency
plans is sitting there. That is why the states are
suing the White Houses with holding funds worth.
Speaker 3: Of STAP funds.
Speaker 7: Yeah, two or three weeks if snap funds, And that's
what she's saying.
Speaker 3: That's they're all the argument. You see what just happened
in Jamaica.
Speaker 7: The funds that are in contingency or is for something
like that, for a national and natural disaster, if God
forbid people get struck and we have a widespread, horrible
disaster in this country. Those funds are expressly put away
for that, not for a disaster made by Democrats having
a temper tangent because they lost an election. I'm sick
of these Democrats with this nonsense too. And this whole
Obamacare thing. That's the other big scam that America has
been dealing with now for over ten years. Obamacare. Let's
listen to Mark Kelly, Senator Mark Kelly, Arizona, Cut nine
and listen, listen, listen to this tear jerker.
Speaker 15: Let me tell you a story about a guy named
Brent from Mesa. This guy worked in public safety for
thirty four years.
Speaker 3: He left that job.
Speaker 15: Now he's a substitute teacher. He gets his health care
from the Affordable Care Act, from the Exchange. He pays
three hundred and thirty nine dollars a month. That's gonna
go up by nine hundred dollars. He'll be paying over
eleven hundred dollars a month for him and his wife.
He can't afford it. This guy has an autoimmune disease.
He's got loupis. This isn't fair to him, and the
millions of Americans like him, through no fault of their own,
are now facing this huge spike in the costs of
their healthcare.
Speaker 7: It's through no fault of his own. It's through the
fault of you Democrats who sold America a bill of
goods and named it Affordable health Care number one. There
is nothing affordable about it. There never has been anything
affordable about it, and the healthcare end of it is
questionable as well. Now there's a story in the Hill
today send it. Democrats wobble as pressure to in shut
down rams up, and they keep talking about how now
Democrats are starting to feel the pain. So they're going
to introduce some measure to try to mitigate some of
this business with and there might be a vote on
it tomorrow to help give the ingrates and the rest
of the people who are not ingrates, and there are
many millions who are not. But to the millions of
ingrates sitting on snap demanding that they get their handouts
or otherwise they're gonna vander store, commit violence, and do
all kind of other mayhem to those that are selling
their benefits. And this underground economy, this underground criminal economy
that the Democrats have set up along with the people
who actually need assistance from the government. There may be
a vote on that coming this week in the Senate.
Democrats are trying to wrap that into a bigger bill
including Wick and other welfare benefits. And somebody, how do
we and how are we going to continue as a
nation when we are making the people that do work
continue to fund a system of entitlement that is destroying
the country. It is destroying the work ethic in this country.
It is destroying the ethos of self respect. It is
destroying people to let them leach on fellow human beings
and say this is okay.
Speaker 3: This is not a okay.
Speaker 7: What's happening in America with these endless stream of entitlement
programs where nothing is required from people that are basically thieves,
and they every time you talk about actually bringing some
kind of means test to it, you're nothing but complaints
from Democrats. It is this has got to stop. If
this nation is ever going to truly prosper and be
all it can be, this mentality that has been created
by Democrats on purpose has got to stop. Now again,
here's another one. New York Times Obamacare prices become public,
highlighting big increases. Trump administration has released a preview of
the available plans sold through Obamacare marketplaces in thirty states,
giving Americans who buy their own health insurance a first
look at just how much prices would go up. Insurers,
it says, have increased rates significantly for next year, an
average of about thirty percent for a typical plan. In
the thirty states where the federal government managed markets an
average of seventeen percent. Now, let's stop right there. The
federal government is managing these markets. Yet the insurance company
to saying, screw your management, we want increases of up
to seventeen percent. Well, it's not like they haven't been
getting the money. Democrats in COVID gave the insurance companies
billions and billions of dollars. They subsidized people. In fact,
one of the things pointed out in this article is
that they subsidized people so much that many people got
their Obamacare for free. It was what free healthcare? What
is that? Universal? Free healthcare? With Democrats have been wanting
for years. You don't have to pay anything. Someone else
pays for you. The people that work in this country.
Speaker 3: Pay for you.
Speaker 7: Everything behind this shutdown has been caused by Democrats. These
Obamacare subsidies they're arguing about, Democrats put them in during COVID.
The fact that Obamacare is unafflordable was created by Democrats
without a one Republican vote. And the time the Republicans
had a chance to actually repeal this thing, it was
one angry Republican, John McCain who stuck his middle finger
up to the entire Republican party and said screw you,
because he was pissed off at President Trump and decided
to keep Obamacare around. That's Senator McCain's lousy legacy. He's
the enabler of Obamacare. Obamacare has been a nightmare disaster lie.
Ever since it was enacted by Democrats, not a single
Republican voted for this nonsensical program. It has not been affordable.
Every year it has put more and more pressure on
the healthcare of this country for everybody that pays it.
It gave insurers free realm, and the insurers have made
billions upon billions upon billions in profit with no accountability
whatsoever from the very government that's supposed to be quote
unquote managing these marketplaces. The insurers have made out like bandits.
The American people have gotten hosed, and yet Democrats shut down.
Speaker 3: The government to keep this scheme.
Speaker 7: Of Obamacare rolling right along, where the insurance companies will
still end up making billions and billions of dollars, and
while Democrats can still hand out more billions of dollars
to ungrateful people who demand their their handouts or else
they'll steal.
Speaker 3: And loot America.
Speaker 7: Everything these people touch is excrement and turns into excrement.
Everything these Democrats touch and make you pay for is
excrement and turns into even a bigger pile of excrement.
Obamacare did nothing that it was supposed to do. It
is a legacy of failure. The not program is utterly corrupted,
and many of these other entire programs are doing nothing
but subsidizing people to work against the interest of those
who are forced to pay for them. That is what
is being exposed with this shutdown. How deeply the Democrat
Party has experimented all over America, and they have the
nerve to hold this government hostage and put people out
of work and keep people from getting their checks because
of all of these scams that they have perpetrated on
the American people, and this entire generation and multi generation
of people who live for nothing but to be able
to put their hands in working people's tax pockets and
take money out of them to fund their laziness.
Speaker 3: It is disgusting.
Speaker 7: James Golden, I'm sorry this stuff has me wound up. Folks.
I'm about the end of my room. And they keep
talking like this is normal. There's nothing about this that
is normal. There's nothing about these entitlement programs in the
way they're being abused. That's normal. There's nothing about the
scam of Obamacare that is normal and that should be
allowed to continue business as usual. You work hard every day,
those of you that work, and these people want to
take everything you have to fund these nightmares. And then
you get this guy mon Domi, who let's expand it.
Let's give you another pile of excrement and call it
something free.
Speaker 3: And we'll do that in the name of government daycare.
Speaker 7: Why because government education that has produced these multi generations
of non working, demanding ingrates has worked out so well.
And half these people can't even speak English. I'm fitting
to do this. I'm fitting to do that. They don't
even know how to say the word fixing. I'm fitting
to do this. And they proudly spout their ignorance all
over social media and make their demands on you, the
people who have worked hard all your lives and play
by every rule there is, and you have to try
to figure out how to make your lives work and
your families work because you're taking care of these ingrades
and people that don't even belong in this country legally.
We gotta go. I'm sorry, I want you. I was
a little warm. I was a little wound up today,
James Skullder's sturdy, fastest sound American media continues, don't go away.
Speaker 4: Right The Rush Hour with James Golden, The Rush Hour
with James Golden entertaining and informative.
Speaker 5: On the Red Apple podcast network. It's the Rush Hour
with James Golden.
Speaker 10: Rush.
Speaker 3: Now here's James Golden. I'm gonna tell you something else, folks.
Speaker 7: I've had this story sitting around for almost a week
and i haven't been able to get to it, you know,
and Democrats are still complaining, whining, moaning about the White
House Baldroom. The same Democrats, especially the ones from California,
say nothing about this. I have a news report here
from television station Casey RA that I saw about a
week ago, and just listen.
Speaker 3: We're not going to listen.
Speaker 16: The whole thing to meaing taxpayers in the dark about
their new office building under construction still cay.
Speaker 5: Serry three political director Ashley Savalla has been digging into
this story for years now, and she joins us with
the latest information.
Speaker 16: Golston, this project is clearly progressing in front of everyone's
eyes to see in downtown Sacramento, but state lawmakers are
not prioritizing the need to keep people informed about it.
It has been at least three years since they provided
the last cost estimate of about one point one billion dollars,
and even then that figure makes it one of the
most expensive buildings in the United States. Here's a look
at what the construction looks like so far. In the
structure looks like it's pretty much said, here's the.
Speaker 3: Story that you're listening to, my friends.
Speaker 7: While all these Democrats are moaning and groaning about the
White House ballroom that Trump is building and had funded privately,
in California, Democrats who own the state politically are refusing
to even tell taxpayers how much they are spending.
Speaker 3: So far.
Speaker 7: We are talking about billions, billions of dollars that they
are ripped taking from the state of taxpayers and paying
for a construction project for their own office space that
has gone on for years. It is so over budget,
nobody knows how much it costs for their office space.
Speaker 3: Billions of dollars.
Speaker 7: Funded by the taxpayers, one of the most expensive office
spaces in the country, and they're refusing to tell people
how much it costs exactly, and how much money has
been ripped off from them, while these same people whine
about Trump's ballroom that is being funded, and he's telling
everybody where it's rund it and by the way, it'll
be built before this thing will. We're gonna leave you
today with one of my favorites, Orleans. I so loved
Orleans and the music. And that's because in nineteen eighty
four and to stay Well's Kelly who was the drummer
for Orleans and also work with meat Loaf passed away.
But I mean, what great music we had from Orleans.
Part of the soundtrack, the beautiful music soundtrack of that era,
