Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative on
Speaker 4: the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 5: And I'm sorry, but instead we are not only gonna
Speaker 5: punch you back, but we are gonna knock you out.
Speaker 5: So I fully anticipate that we are going to take
Speaker 5: control of the United States House because that is what
Speaker 5: the American people want, and that is why Donald Trump
Speaker 5: and his regime is so afraid.
Speaker 6: And I promise you this president is going to He's
Speaker 6: going to be brought down. He's going to be brought down.
Speaker 6: He has to be brought down. And I don't mean physically,
Speaker 6: I'm talking about politically. We will bring him down. He
Speaker 6: will be impeached again.
Speaker 1: Welcome my friends to the Tuesday edition of bosnurlei'es rush Hour.
Speaker 1: Of course, the two voices that let us off of
Speaker 1: both Texas Democrats, very familiar Democrats, Jasmine Crockett and Al Green.
Speaker 1: Texas Democrats are of course defiant, hiding out as they
Speaker 1: are in New York, in Illinois and in other places
Speaker 1: to avoid doing their duty. This thing is still going on. Sadly,
Speaker 1: there are some Republicans who seem to be not as
Speaker 1: geared up for the fight as they should. NBC News
Speaker 1: reports and some swing state swing district Republicans in blue
Speaker 1: states object to what's happening with Texas doing their redistricting,
Speaker 1: and they want to put a stop to jerry mandering.
Speaker 1: Kevin Kylie, we played a lot of soundbites from him.
Speaker 1: He's one of the California Republicans in the House, one
Speaker 1: of the few in a very heavily gerrymandered state. And
Speaker 1: Mike Lawler from New York have called to impose nationwide
Speaker 1: limits on partisan jerrymandering. Of course, Democrats have jerrymandered their
Speaker 1: way into being competitive in the House, even though on
Speaker 1: the basis of House districts around the country and populations,
Speaker 1: perhaps they should have nowhere near the numbers they do.
Speaker 1: So I guess these two Republicans want to lock it
Speaker 1: in place so that Democrats, no matter how they fail
Speaker 1: in elections, will still have a competitive edge in House races.
Speaker 1: Now to Kylie's defense, he's also suggesting that Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: is trying to subvert the will of the voters by
Speaker 1: doing lasting damage to democracy in California. Fortunately, Congress has
Speaker 1: the ability to protect California voters using its authority under
Speaker 1: the Election Clause of the US Constitution, and he says
Speaker 1: that would also stop damaging redistrict wars from happening around
Speaker 1: the country. Mike Lawler, second term Republican in New York,
Speaker 1: gerrymandering is wrong and should be banned everywhere, including New York, Texas, California,
Speaker 1: and Illinois. He's introducing legislation to ban it. So I suppose,
Speaker 1: in all fairness, one could say, Okay, they have a point.
Speaker 1: I believe that what we need is, which I've said
Speaker 1: will never happen, a really scientific method of doing district
Speaker 1: thing where you don't get these quiggly dist tricks that
Speaker 1: are contoured for incumbents to prevail. But in the midst
Speaker 1: of this fight, to suggest that all of a sudden
Speaker 1: we want to put a stop to jerry mandering, okay,
Speaker 1: but are you going to go back as part of
Speaker 1: that fight and take away the jerrymandering advantages? And we
Speaker 1: talked about that in detail yesterday. Let me just pull
Speaker 1: excuse me a moment, I'm reaching away. Yeah, let me
Speaker 1: just look at some of the places Illinois fourteen representatives
Speaker 1: for Democrats, three four Republicans. Despite destroying Republican president press
Speaker 1: population presence. In Illinois, Maryland, they've all but gotten rid
Speaker 1: of Republicans, even though Republicans still have a significant presence
Speaker 1: in that state seven representatives to one. There are no
Speaker 1: no Republican representatives at all in Massachusetts. And you can
Speaker 1: go down the list. You look at what California has done,
Speaker 1: how they have divvied up their votes. Fifty two representatives,
Speaker 1: fifty two in the entire state, only less than ten Republicans.
Speaker 1: And California is estimated that Republicans go from anywhere from
Speaker 1: thirty six percent of the vote of voters, in some
Speaker 1: cases maybe forty. No one thinks that California is a
Speaker 1: majority Republican state anymore, thanks to certain factors over these
Speaker 1: twenty thirty forty years, certain factors that are starting to
Speaker 1: be adjusted for now ice. But California has jerry mandered
Speaker 1: their way into a super majority where Republicans have a
Speaker 1: voice in virtually nothing. And yet you have Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: saying that he's going to do his best to if
Speaker 1: Texas reflects the voters. By the way, you know, you
Speaker 1: hear a lot about how racist this is from people
Speaker 1: like Crockett down there in Georgia, and I'm sorry in Texas.
Speaker 1: But Bacha Unga Surgan was on CNN and she laid
Speaker 1: out an interesting fact about these districts, and so let's
Speaker 1: just take a listen at that and understand what these
Speaker 1: districts are that are being proposed.
Speaker 7: Well, jerrymandering is one of those things that everybody does.
Speaker 8: Like.
Speaker 7: The idea that Donald Trump made this up is I think,
Speaker 7: kind of insane. I don't think you really think that.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, definitely didn't say they fled to Illinois,
Speaker 7: which is one of the most you know, gerrymandered state
Speaker 7: states in the Union. I happen to love this story
Speaker 7: because I love the political theater of it all. I
Speaker 7: love that they absconded. I love that now there are
Speaker 7: arrest warrants out. I think that the American people don't
Speaker 7: care at all about this. But what's most interesting to
Speaker 7: me about this is that these new five you know,
Speaker 7: potential Republican controlled districts are all majority Hispanic. The Republicans
Speaker 7: are leaning into the victories that Trump had with Hispanic
Speaker 7: voters in twenty twenty four and saying, hey, we're gonna
Speaker 7: bet on ourselves. We're gonna bet that we're gonna keep
Speaker 7: these voters and we're going to try to get them
Speaker 7: into our coalition via these districts. And it's amazing to
Speaker 7: me that the Democrats, instead of fighting for those voters,
Speaker 7: are just kind of running away and seeing the point
Speaker 7: that these that these Republican districts full of Hispanics are
Speaker 7: now going to go for Republicans eternally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now that's really interesting because if these district lines
Speaker 1: are changed, they're still going to be majority Hispanic districts,
Speaker 1: which one would think under the old way of thinking
Speaker 1: pre Trump, means that Democrats would certainly own them. But
Speaker 1: Democrats are scared. Now who are the congress people that
Speaker 1: are going would be affected if this happens? Well? Al
Speaker 1: Green is one, Vicenta Gunzalez, Henry I use I just
Speaker 1: I always mispronounced his name. I call him sailor, but
Speaker 1: that's not his name. Quelar Henry Kuehlar, Lloyd Doggett is
Speaker 1: another one, and Greg Cisar. So I mean, you would
Speaker 1: think that in a heavily Hispanic district, certainly Greg Cizar
Speaker 1: would have nothing to worry about. Vicentake Gunzalez would have
Speaker 1: nothing about Henry Sela would have nothing to worry about.
Speaker 1: If if we were just playing identity politics, which the
Speaker 1: Democrats play, Al Green to a li lesser extent. Lloyd Doggett,
Speaker 1: longtime fixture in Texas politics, another that should have a
Speaker 1: base no matter how the lines are drawn. But Democrats
Speaker 1: nonetheless are frightened and worried, even though they don't want
Speaker 1: to admit it now. Yesterday we reported that Greg Abbott
Speaker 1: said he's going to perhaps if Democrats took money from
Speaker 1: other people to aid their escape into these other states,
Speaker 1: that might be considered bribery, might be considered a felony.
Speaker 1: He's also looked and look. Kim Paxton, the Attorney General,
Speaker 1: was on Fox yesterday. He said democratrats fleeing Texas to
Speaker 1: avoid a vote would face consequences either from the state
Speaker 1: House or from the state Supreme Court. But he's saying
Speaker 1: the speaker can find them. There are other consequences in
Speaker 1: the House. But this is he's not saying that this
Speaker 1: is going to be an easy matter. Typically, what we've
Speaker 1: done is we have governors, the Republican governments. We just
Speaker 1: keep calling special sessions because ultimately these people don't want
Speaker 1: to typically live in the state that they were going to,
Speaker 1: and they ultimately come back. Patson said yesterday, if we
Speaker 1: can't arrest them, we want to have an opportunity potentially
Speaker 1: to take them out of office, force them at least
Speaker 1: force them to come back to Texas for a court hearing.
Speaker 1: These radical Democrats are spitting in the face of every
Speaker 1: Texan they swore to represent. Now, yesterday the Texas House
Speaker 1: passed a motion to issue arrest warrants for the Democrats
Speaker 1: who fled the state. So we shall see what happens there.
Speaker 1: The FBI has been asked. Senator John Cornyn of Texas
Speaker 1: has asked the FBI today. He asked them to help
Speaker 1: locate and arrest dozens of Democrat state lawmakers who left Texas. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you think the chances are
Speaker 1: the FBI wants to be involved in this? What do
Speaker 1: you think the chances are that Pam Bondi cash Petel?
Speaker 1: What do you think Donald Trump would offer even though
Speaker 1: he doesn't run it. This is the FBI is under
Speaker 1: DOJ But what do you think the chances are of
Speaker 1: the FBI getting involved, going to hunt these Democrats down
Speaker 1: in different states and then arresting them and sending them
Speaker 1: back to Texas. I don't. I don't know. It would
Speaker 1: be a very aggressive move. Do you think they're gonna
Speaker 1: do it? I don't. Yeah, cashpatlogies, reassigned people. I still
Speaker 1: don't think politically that's going to happen. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a good political look. I don't think they're going
Speaker 1: to want to do that. But yesterday, as he said,
Speaker 1: Governor Abbot said that Democrats were committing could be committing
Speaker 1: felonies if if they solicit funds to pay the five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars in daily fines that they face for skipping
Speaker 1: this session. He was on with Hannity. That's cut four, Carlos.
Speaker 1: Let's just listen to what Governor Greg Abbot said last
Speaker 1: night while he was with Hannity.
Speaker 9: For example, I think Donald Trump won in all five
Speaker 9: of these seas that we will be making Republican seats.
Speaker 1: The same thing.
Speaker 9: Should apply in all those other states.
Speaker 1: Sean that you mentioned in.
Speaker 9: Your monologue where you pointed out the gross jurymandering in
Speaker 9: these blue states have rejected Republican candidates for office that
Speaker 9: should be serving those states, should be serving our country.
Speaker 9: It's a jerrymandering in the blue states that has started
Speaker 9: the politics in America.
Speaker 1: All right, Governor, good for you, good for the fight.
Speaker 10: We'll see if these guys show up and do their job.
Speaker 1: And Yeah, well, good luck on that. Good luck on
Speaker 1: that if they if they show up, We're gonna take
Speaker 1: a quick break. Ladies and gentlemen, come back. We've got
Speaker 1: a lot more to go, and there is there are
Speaker 1: other things in the news besides what's happening with this
Speaker 1: Texas fight. I you know, there's some things that I
Speaker 1: found regarding work. We talk all the time as Republicans
Speaker 1: about the work or conservatives rather about the work ethic.
Speaker 1: There are some things I want you to hear on
Speaker 1: social media concerning the work ethic in America. Nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 1: Toto's drummer Jeff Picaro, brother of Steve Piccaro, the Percaro Brothers.
Speaker 1: They were amazing, passed away from a heart attack. He
Speaker 1: was just thirty eight years old. Controversy in the death.
Speaker 1: Some say it was caused by an allergic reaction to
Speaker 1: garden pesticide. Others say, and what was the coch chain
Speaker 1: and Henry smoking? Uh Anyway, Yeah, I we don't weigh
Speaker 1: in on that. We just remember Jeff Picaro and the
Speaker 1: great music from Toto.
Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Speaker 4: Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and
Speaker 4: informative on the Red Apple podcast networks.
Speaker 1: I was so looking forward to just right after that
Speaker 1: commercial break, telling you about Chuck Todd and what he
Speaker 1: had to say, recognizing in his cut that Illinois is
Speaker 1: one of the and no one can deny it jerry
Speaker 1: mandered states, how ironic Democrats chose to flee there. Carlos
Speaker 1: always ask interesting questions. I'm so glad he does, he said.
Speaker 1: He asked me about the term jerrymandering, and I used
Speaker 1: to know it, and I forgot it over the years,
Speaker 1: so I revisited it. The term jerry mandering began in
Speaker 1: eighteen twelve. And where else Massachusetts, which to this day
Speaker 1: has zero Republican representatives in that state. In eighteen twelve,
Speaker 1: Governor l Bridge Jerry G. E. R. Roy signed a
Speaker 1: bill redrawing the electoral boundaries of Massachusetts for the state Senate.
Speaker 1: It favored his own party, something called the Democratic Republican Party,
Speaker 1: which sounds like a yata. One of those districts, located
Speaker 1: in Essex County, was drawn in a in a bizarre
Speaker 1: elongated shape, so the Boston Gazette published a political cartoon
Speaker 1: depicting this oddly shaped district as a monstrous salamander with
Speaker 1: claws and wings. The cartoon titled the Jerry Mander. It
Speaker 1: combined his name, of course, with that salamander imagery, and
Speaker 1: ever since then, the term jerry mandering has been used
Speaker 1: to describe the manipulation of political districts for political advantage.
Speaker 1: Now he signed the bill. The redistricting was supposed to
Speaker 1: benefit his party, but despite the success of the redistricting
Speaker 1: for his party, he lost in the next gubernatorial election.
Speaker 1: That wasn't the end of his political career, Olbridge. Jerry
Speaker 1: became vice president of James Madison. We'll be back, folks,
Speaker 1: don't go away.
Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Speaker 4: Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden Entertaining and
Speaker 4: informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: I want to shift gears here, folks. Yeah, we're going
Speaker 1: to continue to talk about the Texas redixtract thing, but
Speaker 1: this may be a little bit closer to home for all.
Speaker 1: I wonder if any of you have had an experience
Speaker 1: like this woman.
Speaker 11: I'm not sure what has happened, but I went into
Speaker 11: a sandwich shop and I went up to the window
Speaker 11: ordered the sandwich. I wanted which was a pre built menu.
Speaker 11: It wasn't like I went down the line and you
Speaker 11: built the sandwich for me in front of me. I ordered,
Speaker 11: and I got a drink and I went to pay
Speaker 11: for it, which I picked up at a different window,
Speaker 11: and I went to go pay and I pressed no
Speaker 11: on a tip and the transaction went through, and she said,
Speaker 11: you didn't tip me. I said, I know, I know,
Speaker 11: and I was very kind, very polite, like right. She said,
Speaker 11: well why not? And I said, well, I just I
Speaker 11: ordered a sandwich and I'm getting it to go. There
Speaker 11: was you know, I didn't feel like there was a
Speaker 11: tip needed. She goes, well, everybody tips us, and she goes,
Speaker 11: we were making your sandwich for you. And I said,
Speaker 11: isn't that what your hourly salery wage is for? And
Speaker 11: I guess I was like dumbfounded just a little bit.
Speaker 11: And I I still feel like I'm in shock and
Speaker 11: speechless just a little bit. But I am all for
Speaker 11: tips where it's deserved, you know, bartenders, servers. Wa Eature says,
Speaker 11: you know your hairstylist sometimes and however that works and
Speaker 11: you're part of the if it's built or you go
Speaker 11: to a car whatever, I am all for leaving a
Speaker 11: tip when it's a service job that you have given
Speaker 11: me a service for and an appropriate tip. But all
Speaker 11: I did was walk to the window, order and take
Speaker 11: it with me. Why should I have been felt guilty
Speaker 11: to not have left a tip on an eight dollars
Speaker 11: sandwich that was on your menu?
Speaker 1: You shouldn't. I don't know.
Speaker 11: I gotta get over that one before I drive away.
Speaker 1: What would you tell the woman? What would any of you?
Speaker 1: I know the three letters that I would that are
Speaker 1: an acronym for what I would want to say O
Speaker 1: KM anyway, twenty seven Beatles fans, not the Beatles. Beatles
Speaker 1: fans were a little bit outrage by what they considered
Speaker 1: to be the misuse of Beatles music. The big joiant
Speaker 1: conglomerate Procter and Gamble had purchased the rights to use
Speaker 1: this song, so they put it on an ad featuring
Speaker 1: a baby jumping on a Teddy Bear in a disposable
Speaker 1: nappy diaper which offered the ultimate leak protection. And Beatles
Speaker 1: frands are like, really, this great song for leak proof diapers, Hey,
Speaker 1: and leakproof diapers, and make sure that the older doesn't
Speaker 1: come out either. Well, you know they don't just leak.
Speaker 1: They do other things with those nappies. James Golding surly
Speaker 1: here with you. Okay, we started, we might as well
Speaker 1: continue down this work trail. Let's see the AX Secretary
Speaker 1: Brooke Rollins was on Fox Business and she was asked
Speaker 1: about jobs, jobs, because you know, previously she said, look,
Speaker 1: when people were complaining about unemployment, unemployment, especially among government workers,
Speaker 1: she was saying, look they can there are jobs out here,
Speaker 1: get a job on a farm, even, and some people
Speaker 1: just took that and ran with it. So she was
Speaker 1: asked about it literly bonic there, and this is what
Speaker 1: she said, cut fifteen.
Speaker 12: And we're moving the people at USDA closer to those
Speaker 12: we serve, the farmers, ranchers, and producers. So we're about
Speaker 12: fifteen thousand jobs less than we were when we started
Speaker 12: several months ago.
Speaker 1: So let me get this right.
Speaker 10: You've got fifteen thousand. I'm not going to call them
Speaker 10: job cuts, but there are fifteen thousand fewer people at
Speaker 10: your department than there were a few months ago.
Speaker 6: And that's right.
Speaker 10: You're moving two thousand, six hundred people out of DC
Speaker 10: and you're putting them in regional offices. Is that decentralization?
Speaker 13: We are.
Speaker 12: That's what we call draining the swamp. We are deconstructing
Speaker 12: the Washington administrative state. Listen, the founding fathers had a
Speaker 12: vision that the federal government should be small, that the
Speaker 12: government closest to the people under the Tenth Amendment is
Speaker 12: the government that should be in charge of America. Of course,
Speaker 12: that's gone completely upside down over the last one hundred
Speaker 12: or so years under frankly, both Republicans and Democrats. This
Speaker 12: president's vision is to move government out of Washington, and
Speaker 12: USDA is one of the largest agencies, and we we're
Speaker 12: basically enacting his vision at warp speed. So we're really
Speaker 12: proud of this plan and we think it's going to
Speaker 12: be great for amy at you now.
Speaker 1: She also wanted to say that we need to really
Speaker 1: think about the way that people that we work nothing wrong.
Speaker 1: We're working on farms, nothing, so they're reducing jobs over there,
Speaker 1: they're reducing jobs. Some people are complaining, well, everybody doesn't
Speaker 1: have the same kind We know this, folks, everybody doesn't
Speaker 1: have the same kind of work ethics that many of
Speaker 1: us grew up with. I have two sound bites or
Speaker 1: like you to pay attention to with regard to work, work.
Speaker 1: If you come from a family where you are taught
Speaker 1: the value of hard work, you grow up understanding this
Speaker 1: what happens if you don't cut fourteen. This is what
Speaker 1: happens when you grow up in a family where work
Speaker 1: is not considered a way of life.
Speaker 14: So my sister made a video about how my whole
Speaker 14: entire family gets EBT and everyone is calling us bombs
Speaker 14: because we don't work and we live off the government,
Speaker 14: and we are.
Speaker 15: Proud of that.
Speaker 14: Growing up, this is what we were taught. We were
Speaker 14: taught to not have to work. We were taught to
Speaker 14: live off the government because it is there for us
Speaker 14: to use. And from what I could remember, it all
Speaker 14: started back with my grandparents. My grandparents used to get
Speaker 14: the paper, like the paper coupons to go and pay for.
Speaker 3: You know, food and stuff like that.
Speaker 14: And that's when I was like, this is free money,
Speaker 14: like what So living off of EBT is literally a
Speaker 14: tradition in our family. Once my grandparents passed away, my
Speaker 14: mom started, you know, applying, and she got approved for
Speaker 14: off six.
Speaker 2: Of us kids.
Speaker 14: And then you know, once my sister got older, she
Speaker 14: had her first child, she applied for food stamps and
Speaker 14: she got you know like it was. It was just
Speaker 14: like you know, a domino effect. One after another. We
Speaker 14: all got approved for EBT. And guess what is not
Speaker 14: going to stop there?
Speaker 16: Why?
Speaker 14: Because I have taught my children and I'm going to
Speaker 14: be teaching my grandchildren that they should do the same thing.
Speaker 14: They don't have to work.
Speaker 3: They could just have.
Speaker 14: Children, put themselves on EBT, get child support, every all
Speaker 14: of that that I do so I don't have to work.
Speaker 14: They could do it themselves.
Speaker 1: Too, Everything that I do so I don't have to work,
Speaker 1: they can do it themselves to pass on from the
Speaker 1: grandparents to the parents to this one. And she's now
Speaker 1: planning on extending this for two more generations, her children
Speaker 1: and her children's children. Nobody works. They all live off
Speaker 1: you who do work. Now, there are other voices out
Speaker 1: here who don't like to work because well cut sixteen
Speaker 1: you'll see why this one why work is such an
Speaker 1: issue for this young lady.
Speaker 15: Oh, I quit my because I can't take care of
Speaker 15: my basic needs and work forty hours a week at
Speaker 15: the same time. It's really hard to say this out
Speaker 15: loud and put it online, but I know that I'm
Speaker 15: not the only person going through this. I've almost been
Speaker 15: fired from every job that I've ever had. And it's
Speaker 15: not because I'm not smart. I actually tend to overperform
Speaker 15: in the beginning. It's just that after some time, I
Speaker 15: inevitably burn out. Once I wake up one day and
Speaker 15: realize that I haven't taken a shower in like three weeks,
Speaker 15: it's really frustrating because I know that I'm an intelligent
Speaker 15: person and I've been able to accomplish a lot of
Speaker 15: really amazing things in my life, but I still can't
Speaker 15: manage to take care of myself. And it's not just
Speaker 15: a matter of not trying hard enough or not being disciplined.
Speaker 15: If I could take care of my basic needs and
Speaker 15: work full time, I would have done that, buy now
Speaker 15: and then some It's just it's a form of self
Speaker 15: sabotage to honestly be putting so much energy into these
Speaker 15: executive functioning skills at work and not have anything left
Speaker 15: to give myself. It's like I would dead ass, wake
Speaker 15: up at five am, at paceback and for it, start
Speaker 15: working at seven, finish work at sex, eat, sleep for dinner,
Speaker 15: and then problem but at eight o'clock and it's like
Speaker 15: a part of me does feel insane by quitting the
Speaker 15: ViRGE of a recession. But it's like, if I actually
Speaker 15: want to build a future for myself and get there
Speaker 15: in one piece, taking care of myself has to become
Speaker 15: my full time job. I was not born to raise
Speaker 15: shareholder value. I'm actually meant to live a life, and
Speaker 15: I need to learn how to be a person in
Speaker 15: order to do that.
Speaker 1: So so work is too hard, I have. My full
Speaker 1: time job has to be taking care of myself when
Speaker 1: I don't work, because working for the hours, I don't
Speaker 1: take a shower. I realized three weeks later, I haven't
Speaker 1: taken this shower. I've been going to work. I've been
Speaker 1: working and work. It's too high. Working itself hard. I
Speaker 1: have no time when I'm working to take care of me.
Speaker 1: I just need to like live off whoever I'm living
Speaker 1: off of in net work, you other people you work,
Speaker 1: you work, so I don't have to work. Five generations.
Speaker 1: My grandparents used to cha, I used to use the paper,
Speaker 1: and he used to just go in and buy the
Speaker 1: groceries with the coming. And then they taught it to
Speaker 1: my mommy. They my mommy taught it to me. With
Speaker 1: six kids, my mommy to six kids. We had a daddy,
Speaker 1: daddy's daddy, multiple daddies bore daddy or daddy. And then
Speaker 1: and I'm teaching my daughter how to how to do it.
Speaker 1: Are my children so that we can scam live off
Speaker 1: the government, and then we're gonna teach the grandchildren until
Speaker 1: we're gonna just keep this going as long as Americans
Speaker 1: will pay for us not to work. We are not
Speaker 1: going to work. Okay, then, ladies and gentlemen. Meanwhile, there
Speaker 1: are people who do want to work. Cut thirteen. This
Speaker 1: says Director Todd Lines of re quick report from Fox News. All.
Speaker 1: What's happening in the world of ICE. Oh, it's going great, Martha.
Speaker 17: We we have almost seventy seventy eight thousand applicants since
Speaker 17: we opened up, and we're going through. We're finding those
Speaker 17: people that really want to serve the country and really
Speaker 17: be in law enforcement.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great way to recruit.
Speaker 17: Now we're taking back our rehired anudance people that left
Speaker 17: the job early because they weren't allowed to do their
Speaker 17: lawforce permission. But we have so many people that are
Speaker 17: interested now in working with ICE because now they're seeing
Speaker 17: under Secretary's non leadership, we have a viable law enforcement
Speaker 17: partner in the community. You are actually out there making
Speaker 17: a difference. So we're really static about seeing the increase
Speaker 17: in new recruits that are applying.
Speaker 1: The Thank goodness, there are some people who are not
Speaker 1: afraid of work. Seventy thousand of them have applied to
Speaker 1: joint ois Ice. They're looking for ten thousand, so they've
Speaker 1: got a choice. They can pick a pretty good web
Speaker 1: from a pretty good pool of people who want jobs.
Speaker 1: And there are other jobs open here out here, despite
Speaker 1: what the Labor Department statistics may you see. Also, let's
Speaker 1: just quickly check in on the US trade deficit. You know,
Speaker 1: the trade deficit used to just be ballooning, ballooning, ballooning
Speaker 1: because of the nations were sending their stuff there and
Speaker 1: we couldn't send our stuff where to be bought in
Speaker 1: many of these other countries. Quick report. Another report from
Speaker 1: Fox News Cut twelve on the trade deficit, the deficit.
Speaker 16: And comparing the numbers from June to May. We did
Speaker 16: see the trade deficit shrink about eleven I'm sorry, sixteen percent,
Speaker 16: down to sixty billion dollars from the month prior. So
Speaker 16: we've seen those trade numbers continue go to down as
Speaker 16: they have tried to see the trade field level between
Speaker 16: multiple other countries. We're still waiting for the official White
Speaker 16: House reaction to this trade data that came out of
Speaker 16: it fifteen minutes ago. We're also looking to see how
Speaker 16: the markets may react to it. But the trade deficit
Speaker 16: shrinking from June compared to the month of May, down
Speaker 16: sixteen percent, down to sixty billion dollars.
Speaker 1: So trade moving in the right direction. Before we get
Speaker 1: out of here today, let's listen to some of the
Speaker 1: democh rhetoric. This one from Senator Elisa Slotkin from Michigan,
Speaker 1: and to me, folks, I would refer this if I
Speaker 1: were if I were in a position, I would refer
Speaker 1: this one straight over to the FBI straight over. Just
Speaker 1: put it on file. I'm not saying you have to
Speaker 1: do anything. Put it on file. Put it on record,
Speaker 1: because this rhetoric may come back to haunt somebody some day.
Speaker 1: Cut three.
Speaker 18: The debate now among Democrats is how do you answer
Speaker 18: the following question, Is Donald Trump an existential threat to
Speaker 18: democracy in his second term? Or is Donald Trump's second
Speaker 18: term bad but like his first term, surviv survivable. If
Speaker 18: we just waited out right, and I just want you
Speaker 18: to know from your senator, as someone who sits in
Speaker 18: that room on your behalf, I am in camp number one.
Speaker 18: He is an existential threat to democracy.
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do with him? As extential threat?
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do with him? Yeah? Well,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of crazies out here that listen
Speaker 1: to this kind of rhetoric and believe what she's saying.
Speaker 1: And if this is unconscionable for United States senator to'll
Speaker 1: be saying this kind of thing about the president. I
Speaker 1: don't care what party they are. I don't care whether
Speaker 1: it's a Republican in the White House, whether a Democrat
Speaker 1: in the White House. This over the top language needs
Speaker 1: to stop. No responsible politician should ever be uttering these
Speaker 1: kind of words period anyway. James Goldin's nearly uh you
Speaker 1: know that voice Dur's Day. The year was nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 1: Durrisday went to number one in the charts across the
Speaker 1: plond This was featured in an Alfred Hitchcock film, The
Speaker 1: Man Who Knew Too Much dars Day and James Stewart
Speaker 1: in the lead roles. You know, if you go back
Speaker 1: through those Hitchcock not just the films, but his stuff.
Speaker 1: So many You will see so many actors who made
Speaker 1: either their first appearances or they were very young, and
Speaker 1: you're like, wow, that in an Alphred Hitchcock. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think in the current age people have forgotten how powerful
Speaker 1: a filmmaker and television presenter Alfred Hitchcock was. Anyway, James
Speaker 1: Golden slur to keep it right here, don't go away.
Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Goldish on the Red Apple
Speaker 4: Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden Entertaining and
Speaker 4: informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: All right, here's that SoundBite from f Chuck Todd. That's
Speaker 1: what Rush used to call them. F Chuck Todd on
Speaker 1: Texas redistrict thing.
Speaker 13: It seems as if the strategies bring more attention to
Speaker 13: this make everybody uncomfortable. Right, The more painful you make
Speaker 13: the process in Texas, the more.
Speaker 1: It's hard to replicate.
Speaker 13: Maybe there isn't They may be their own colleagues aren't
Speaker 13: as interested in this. Congressional Republicans that serve in Texas
Speaker 13: whose districts are actually going to get impacted negatively also
Speaker 13: secretly are kind of hoping this goes away too. And
Speaker 13: I think they think the longer, the more painful they
Speaker 13: can make this in doing it. Maybe there's a way
Speaker 13: to shut this down. So I understand the strategy, and
Speaker 13: I think you get this. The part that I think
Speaker 13: is sort of bad. I think it's a bad look
Speaker 13: for a party that claims to be always trying to
Speaker 13: be protective democracy is to hold up in a state
Speaker 13: that jerry manders, I mean, one of the worst.
Speaker 1: You know. Look, Texas, Florida, Illinois, and Maryland.
Speaker 13: Those are your four giant gerrymanders states, you know, And
Speaker 13: if you're trying to make a point on gerrymander, I
Speaker 13: don't think I'd be going to this state of Illinois
Speaker 13: as a place to hide.
Speaker 8: There should be no reason why we don't do everything
Speaker 8: in our power to ensure that Illinois shows up for Illinoians.
Speaker 8: In fact, as much as I appreciate Illinois helping out
Speaker 8: people from Texas, the south side on the West side
Speaker 8: could use that same level of energy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that second voice was Brandon Johnson given a sideways
Speaker 1: look to what are you doing these Democrats? Why are
Speaker 1: you worried about Texas? Chicago has problems? Ah? All right, Musically,
Speaker 1: before we get out today, two things today is a
Speaker 1: sad day for fans of George Duke. And if you
Speaker 1: love music, you've heard George Duke, whether you've known it
Speaker 1: or not, worked on so many projects, his own projects,
Speaker 1: that great hit he did with Stanley Clark, Yeah, Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson's Off the Wall, so many other amazing artists. So
Speaker 1: George Duke passed away age sixty seven back in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: Also born today one of the great musicians. Ayerto Morrero drummer, percussionist,
Speaker 1: jazz fusion artist. His own albums are just incredible. In
Speaker 1: the early eighties, he was part of Weather Report. Of
Speaker 1: course you're listening to Weather Report right now, with their
Speaker 1: famous hit Birdland released in nineteen seventy six. The album
Speaker 1: the Heavy Weather album Sell My Friends. That about brings
Speaker 1: us to the end of this discoursion. For today, we
Speaker 1: have more, We have so much more. I have some
Speaker 1: bites we didn't get to today, some of the other
Speaker 1: Texas representatives and Molly Hemingway talking about the Russian collusion hopes,
Speaker 1: which we're gonna get to that and so many other things.
Speaker 1: We got to go make God bless, protect each and
Speaker 1: every single one of you, your families, your left ones,
