Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 3: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 5: If he dropped out, he's not going to win and
not looking too good for Cuomo either.
Speaker 1: But maybe I don't know.
Speaker 5: If he dropped out, maybe Guomo would have a little
bit of a chance, but not much because it looks
like the lead is it's not a great lead, but
it's it's big enough that he should be able to win.
So you know, I don't know that I want to
get involved. It's really a should have. Would I rather
have a democrat or a communist? And I would rather
have a democrat at a communist.
Speaker 6: Yes, ladies, and gentlemen, it is the Wednesday rush hour.
I am botionally changedous go and welcome aboard the fastest
hour in American media. You've heard the quote from Donald Trump.
Big story today, Also big story. Curtis Sliwa had a announcement,
but where he's not doing with his future again, where
he will never be again. And of course, look, I've
never called one Curtis lie with a drop out of
the race. I've never said anything because frankly, who cares
what I say about that. Curtis wouldn't listen to me
if I said, hey, Curtis, you need to drop out
of the race. And I'm not just gonna say it
to give myself virtue points. Oh he said, Curtis, Look,
there's a way that Curtis Leeber could win.
Speaker 1: He could.
Speaker 6: There's a way Curtis Leeber could win the mailwits. I'll
explained right now. He stands at fifteen percent in the polls.
If somehow over the next two weeks he wins thirty
five point six more percent of the vote, at least
according to the polls, if he's able to convince Democrats
because New York City Democrat city, and if thirty five
point six percent of voters, mostly Democrats, change their mind
from who they already said they're going to vote for
if they say, you know what he's offered me something
that Andrew Cuomo, who's also trailing in the polls, isn't
going to give or mom DOMI if if he can
come up with that magic solution to offer something that
thirty five point six percent of mostly Democrats want, well
he can win. Now what are the chances that would
be the biggest upset in American political history?
Speaker 1: But is it.
Speaker 6: Impossible to change what we perceive as the will of
the voters this close to election by such a huge margin.
It is impossible, is it? I don't know what's impossible?
Is it improbable? Highly improbable based on everything that we
know about politics. So that's my comment now. Mandami in
New York asked Carlos of Hugh's going to watch the
debate tonight. He's gonna watch it, But I don't really
think he. I don't think his heart isn't watching the debate.
I just don't. I think maybe, I don't know, if
there were a bad Bunny Show special somewhere on an
adjacent channel, he might flip over and watch bad Bunny
or big Bunny, or it is bad. It's not big, No,
it's big ball. It's not big anyway. Wall Street Journal.
Mondimie's promising the cheap of New York. Can he afford
to pay for it? Mondomie said he wants to generate
nine billion in new tax revenue by raising taxes on
New York City's wealthiest residents and businesses. He's calling for
a two percent tax, not a one percent like we
were all. Two percent tax on incomes of over a
million dollars, which he says will produce four billion dollars
in tax revenue. He wants to increase the state's corporate
tax rate to eleven point five percent. He says that's
gonna pick up another five billion, right.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 6: I guess he thinks corporations don't hire accountants and tax
people that can go through there and tell them how
to do this, do that, do the other, to not
pay what people like him want them to pay. Or
at some point some businesses just say you know what,
and they're doing this In California, Kate, some businesses are
already saying, you know what. This is not trending well
let's get out now and relocate and go to somewhere
where it's a little bit more friendly.
Speaker 1: But he thinks that's just gonna happen.
Speaker 6: Now, he needs Kathy Hochel if he gets in and
if he you know, if something does happen, if he's
the guy, he needs Kathy Hochel to sign and the
state Democrats to sign off on these big, humongous tax increases.
Hopel's up for reelection Governor Kathy Hockel in twenty twenty six.
So yeah, that'll be a great, great, great election. Slow,
I raised your taxes and I'm running again. There'll be
a great message for her to go out with in
twenty twenty six. I'm the tax raiser for mon DOMI
money for the commies anyway. And then so all of it,
he says he's gonna raise nine billion here, that's what
he's gonna do, nine billion in new tax revenue. And
how's he going to spend the money. Well, he's going
to spend the money. Six billion of it is going
to go to take care of other people's children, childcare.
So that's what people so in addition for the wealthy
taking care of their own kids. Now, they're supposed to
take care of everyone else's children. Supposedly, that's what they
just want to do. Chalk up billions more to take
care of other people's kids, because why Mondamie wants them
to do it. And then yeah, no cost to the parents,
no cost daycare. By the way, can you imagine the
lawsuits in the future over what's going to happen with
this big bureaucratic daycare can't wait? If you're a New Yorker,
you should be very pleased to just know that lawyers
are probably salivating over what's going to happen in the future.
Then he's going to spend close to another bill of
that giving everybody free bus ride heights. They tried that
already in a pilot program. He says, it's gonna make
it faster. In the pilot program it made buses run slower.
Then he's gonna screw the landlords. He's going to pause
rent increases for four years. If you have a rent stabilized,
then you can ask a whole nother discussion. This crooked
steam to tell property owners how and how they can't
deal with their own finances of owning a property. So
he's gonna screw the landlords by telling them they can't
raise rents for four years, because of course it's his property,
not their. He's free to tell them, hey, screw you,
We're just gonna let people stay in your place and
you're gonna pay for it, but you can't charge them
any increases, even if you have to do property repairs,
capital repairs, even if you want to whatever. It's your property,
but we tell you how to run it because we're
good commies, good socialists. Excuse me, So your property isn't
your property, and he's gonna freeze those rents. Now, Eric
Adams could screw them up a little bit with that,
because Eric Adams right now there are six board members
under this rent Guidelines board, and some of them are
serving under expired terms. All Adams has to do to
screw them up there is a point and get through
a bunch more people before he leaves. Then, of course
come the free grocery stores that won't have to pay rent, won't.
Speaker 1: Have to pay property taxes.
Speaker 6: Just drive the regular grocers in New York out of
business by trying to undercut them. And those are just
some of the things not to talk about. The police
who he in twenty twenty called wicked and corrupt and
you all know this, and yes, I know, and you
all know about the whole thing has links to people.
Speaker 1: That have been linked to terrorism and the rest of it.
Speaker 6: You know about his stance on some of the things
that he said regarding Jewish matters and the infantati, you
know all that stuff. So I'm not going to spend
much time on it. It gets talked about a lot.
New York is going to be an interesting test case
if this guy gets in, And I mean, I know
Republicans have a certain amount of glee with the prospect
of having an open socialist, last communist in office, and saying,
what's going to happen to New York City if this happens?
Speaker 1: Had the word's train wreck come to mind.
Speaker 6: But there were other things happening in New York as
it is, before we move on to other national matters.
Canal Street had a big, big ice raid there. They
got big ice raid, They got nine people. But you
know what happened. They had the resistance protesters, young openly
hostile ice out now where w W went went, we
don't want them in our king city. And as they
tried to carry it on hundreds of protesters, news reports
that looked like a war zone down in Canal Street.
Speaker 1: And what were they who were they picking up?
Speaker 6: Well, again, press reports, they were picking up some of
these street vendors from Africa, is what one news organization
made the point of the reporting from Africa immigrant, Well,
they're here illegally and guess what they were selling? Luxury
confederate goods. And one newspaper, actually one news outlet, they've
been a staple for years, as if somehow because they
have been illegally operating in the city for years with
nobody bothering them. Here comes these awful ICE agents to
disrupt their illegal, their illegal street vendor stores selling illegal
counterfeit goods. But ICE is the Ice of the bad guys.
And you have these protesters actually carrying on against ICE.
It is stunning. Now there is cut number seven. Todd
bwent Ice, the acting ICE director, had a few words
that might not comfort people in the New York area
who are out protesting ICE. And this is what he seed.
Speaker 7: Well, I think for the people in New York, they're
going to see ICE and our other fiddle partners do
the law enforcement mission right. This wasn't something that just
organically happened overnight. We decided to go hit Canal Street.
With any criminal investigation, you have to build up intelligence,
you have to work with sources, you have to go
ahead and have the right evidence and work with the.
Speaker 1: US Attorney's office.
Speaker 7: So, but you will see an increase in ICE arrests
because there are so many criminal illegal aliens that have
been released in New York specifically especially that are being
harbored in you know New York from the lap of
cooperation there in New York City. So you will see
us making those criminal arrests to make New York safe again.
But I will tell you that it's definitely intelligence driven.
It's not random. We're just noting people off the street.
There was a specific reason based on criminal intelligence and
criminal activity that we showed up on Canal Street.
Speaker 6: Well, there's gonna be more ice on both Sturly's rush
Hour the fastest hour in American media.
Speaker 1: Keep it right here.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush
Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative.
Speaker 3: On the Red Apple podcast network. James Golden known pop as.
Speaker 6: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. Ladies and gentlemen,
it's time to hop in the time machine. We take
you back one year ago today. It was a time
of hope. It was a time of joy. It was
a time of robust joy all around the country because
Joe Biden had gotten out of the race and Kamala Harris,
Kamala Harris was fueling her supporters, energizing her supporters with hope,
with joy, exuberance over her chances to win, and she
was attacking Donald Trump. In fact, a year ago today,
she blamed Donald Trump on the current lawlessness of the
United States of America's immigrations.
Speaker 3: Here she is on this issue of immigration.
Speaker 8: He has been an obstacle to fixing this problem. My
proposal includes strengthening what we must do to ensure that
we have an orderly and humane immigration system, and that
we fixed what has been broken for a long time.
It has transcended administrations and it needs to be fixed.
Speaker 6: And there she is, after letting eleven million illegal immigrants
crossed the border on her watch while she was bored
bizarre one year ago today, Kamala Harris blamed Donald Trump
for the broken immigration system and said her plan, which
I guess would let in eleven million, twelve million, thirteen
twenty million more illegal immigrants. Her plan would make everything right. Sadly,
all that joy didn't produce votes at the poland she
never got a chance to fix America's immigration system. And yeah,
the most qualified candidate ever to run for president didn't
make it. We're coming back, Don't go away.
Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative on
the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 9: James Golden, known popularly as most Nerdly.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 6: Rush James Golden's thirdly fastest hour in American media. Let
us turn to the other story that seems to be
dominating yesterday was EBT. EBT was dominating social media yesterday
over the past two days, this renovation Carlos, do you
ever watch HGTV Okay, have you seen like those those
two brothers from up in Canada to go in and
buy the houses and flip it. Or that other guy
and his girl that that that go out somewhere out
there in the Southwest, they go ahead and buy these
houses and flip these houses. And then also the vacation
guy that goes around and looks at all these vacation properties.
And Okay, after they get to the property, what after
they decide what's one of the first things they.
Speaker 1: Do take it down? Yeah, demo, They.
Speaker 6: Do a demo job on what's there so that they
can do what so they can renovate it. Ladies and gentlemen, Democrats,
including Hillary Clinton, have been losing their cookies over the
fact that the White House is being renovated. Hillary Clinton
had the nerve, the absolute gal audacity and nerve to
say and to criticize, it's not his house, it's your house,
and he's destroying it. She then went on to say
a Clinton would never defile the White House. This is
after the Clintons sold access to the Lincoln Bedroom. This
is after the infamous renaming of the Oval Office to
the Oral Office. Carlos, do you know why many people
in the political world started referring to the Oval Office
as the Oral Office?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Because Bill couldn't keep it in his fence.
Speaker 6: What's happening in the Oral office? He was getting a
Lewinsky in the Oral office.
Speaker 1: It is also the same.
Speaker 6: Bill Clinton that was accused by Kathleen Willie of raping
her or doing something close, if not rape to her.
Speaker 1: In the oral office.
Speaker 6: So Hillary Clinton, A Clinton would never defile the White House. Really,
you had Maria Shriver spoke up. Maria Shriver describes herself
as being angry and upset over the cost of it.
The taxpayers aren't paying for this. Caroline Levitt was on
with Jesse Waters. That's cut five and I mean, these
people you should see, they're going his his, They're all
showing pictures of the rental job in process.
Speaker 1: President Trump is desdrawing the White House.
Speaker 6: This is how democracies dying, and all these insane comments.
Caroline Levitt on with Jesse Waters. This is what she
had to say about.
Speaker 7: Are the Democrats jealous that Trump's building this big, beautiful ballroom.
Speaker 11: It certainly appears that way, Jesse, and I believe there's
a lot of fake outrage right now because nearly every
single president who has lived in this beautiful White House
behind me has made modernizations and renovations of their own,
and in fact, presidents for decades in the modern time
have quipped about how they wish they had a larger
event space here at the White House that can hold
hundreds more people than the current East Room and state
dining rooms can. In fact, President Obama notably complained that
during his tenure he had to hold a state visit
on the South Law and get a very expensive tent.
If you talk to journalists who have covered the White
House for decades, as I do here every single day,
they will also tell you that administration after administration have
publicly and privately spoken about the need for a larger
events space. So while many presidents have privately dreamt about this,
it's President Trump who is actually doing something about it,
and he is the builder in chief. In large part,
he was re elected back to this people's House because
he's good at building things. He has done it his
entire life, his entire career, and construction is a process.
At the end, the East Wing, which is an entirely
separate structure from the Executive mansion you see behind me,
will be more modern and beautiful than ever. And then
on top of that, the White House is going to
have a big, beautiful ballroom for generations of Americans to come.
And the best part of it all, it's not a
dime of the taxpayer's money. The President has worked hard
to privately fund this entire project from start to finish.
Speaker 6: He is getting a lot of criticism, folks, even Byron York.
You know, I like buying Byron York a lot, but
conservative commentator Byron York says Trump needs to tell the
public now what he's doing with the East Wing of
the White House, and then tell the public why he
didn't tell them before he started doing it. You have
the New York Times. Our hands are tied. Can anyone
stop Trump's tear down of the East Wing? Everyone's so upset.
The East Wing was put up in a renovation for
goodness sakes, folks, really, and who is to say that
when they do finish the renovation, it won't be restored
so that no one will notice a difference, or even
if so, then it won't be better. Rebecca Miller, executive
director of the DC Preservation League, a nonprofit one where
they get their money from that advocates for protecting his
storys in Washington, said, dozens, dozens, dozens of concerned citizens
from the city and around the country you have called
and emailed her to express outraged.
Speaker 1: I am outraged. Well, I'm not outraged. I hope that
they do.
Speaker 6: I hope they're doing a good documentary on this so
we can watch this on HGTV too. I like some
of those shows on HGTV. I don't watch them a
lot because I don't have the time to watch them
a lot. And then sometimes I watch them and I'm like, dag, oh,
how much that costs to do that? Because they'll tell
you sometimes how much these rentals cost, but other times,
you know, you get the feeling that these renolds.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 6: I hope they're gonna make a documentary series out of it,
so we can see that before and we can see
the after. But liberals are whining, you know what they're
also whining about. They're also whining about the story that
Donald Trump is that he is pressing the DOJ to
refund some of the money it costs with their malicious
persecution of him when he was out of office. CNN's
Caitland Collins asked him about that legonic language for you,
They're cut three. Here's Kitland Collins axing Trump about the
DOJ and follow.
Speaker 11: Up on her question to you, because in your Times
is reporting that your legal team is seeking two hundred
and thirty million dollars from your own Justice Department now
in response to the.
Speaker 3: Investigations into you.
Speaker 12: Is that something you want your legal team.
Speaker 5: I don't know what the numbers are. I don't even
talk to them about it. All I know is that
they would owe me a lot of money, but I
don't I'm not looking for money to give it to
charity or something. I would give it to charity, any money.
But look what they did. They ring the election, and
as you know, we had in one case sixty minutes
how to pay us a lot of money. George slot
Medopolos had to pay us a lot of money, and
they already paid. You know, they paid me a lot
of money because what they did was wrong. And you know,
when somebody does what was wrong now with the country,
it's interesting because I'm the one that makes a decision,
right and you know that decision would have to go
across my desk, and it's awfully strange to make a
decision where I'm paying myself, in other words, to give
to have one of those cases where you have to
decide how much you're paying yourself and damages. But I
was damaged very greatly, and any money that I would
get I would give to charity.
Speaker 1: So that's that.
Speaker 6: So we every day we make it a point to
hear voices from the social media world, we have two
for you today. We have one who's a lifelong Democrat
in San Francisco. You know, Trump is threatening to send
the National Guard to San Francisco. Democrats highly upset. Gavin
Newsom is beside himself every day. He's another one whining about.
He has a nerve to whine about Trump and the
renovations at the White House. When the Palisades, I just
saw a story today. International buyers are now moving in
to buy the burned out properties that are still sitting
vacant in Malibu Palisades. Those horrible fires, those people still
can't rebuild. And he's got the nerve, the nerve to
be whining about Trump, who actually gets things done.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 6: So we got a guy from San Francisco, and we
got an East Coast and the West Coast guy. We
got a guy from San Francisco, and then we got
a guy. It's an NBC Philadelphia report on a New
Jersey guy who's a business owner in New Jersey in
Passaic County about the Guvnor's race there. So let's listen
to our social media voices of the day, and let's
listen to two voices. One a Democrat in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: The other.
Speaker 6: We're going to go to Philsey Delphia first, that's fifteen
and sixteen. First, let's go to I left my heart
in San Francisco.
Speaker 13: You know, I'm a lifelong Democrat. I worked for President Obama.
I've never voted for our public in my life, but
I feel radicalized about what's happening on our streets. It's
absolutely insane to see the street conditions in San Francisco,
to see what families and children and working professionals have
to deal with every single day in our city. And
it's because a couple of far left Democrats have become
radicalized and empowered themselves to take advantage of our compassion
and our leniency to prioritize the rights of a couple
people over the rights of the rest of the city.
It is not compassionate in San Francisco to not hold
people accountable for their actions. That is exactly what is happening.
That is a state of our homelessness and addiction policy
in San Francisco and in California, and it has to change.
Speaker 14: Evasionally for the Dominican Republic. Angel Castillo runs this restaurant
now in a new Jersey County. That's in political spotlight.
Castillo is now supporting the Republican nominee for Governor, Jack Chitarelli.
But the larger story here is about President Trump. Castillo
says he used to be a Democrat, and then in
twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: I voted for Trump.
Speaker 15: Okay, that's the first time I ever voted for a Republicant.
So the way he spoke, I was like, man, this
guy speaks just like everybody else. And the way he
said he was going to do things, and I agree
with him in most of the things.
Speaker 14: Are you happy with how things are going so far
in his administration?
Speaker 3: Correct?
Speaker 1: You are? Yeah?
Speaker 14: What do you like?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 1: I like everything.
Speaker 15: I like how he just trying to enforce the law.
Speaker 14: Despite Castillo's vote, Hillary Clinton want Passaic in twenty sixteen,
Joe Biden won in twenty twenty, and Donald Trump flipped
it in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6: Now we had the two voices. We got to take
a break quitty soon. But I want to get one
other voice, and that from an elected politician. Brandon Johnson
should call go has a new plan, ladies and gentlemen,
on how to raise money for his city to cut thirteen, Carlos,
this is what Brandon Johnson wants to do.
Speaker 7: Just like we tax other addictive vices that are bad
for our health, like nicotine and tobacco.
Speaker 5: It is far past time we treat social media companies.
Speaker 1: The same way.
Speaker 16: Under his proposal, social media companies would pay fifty cents
for every active user each month. The first one hundred
thousand users are exempt. The Johnson administration says it would
raise thirty one million dollars, money they would use to
fund expanded crisis response in city run mental health clinics.
It's a tax no other US city has implemented.
Speaker 17: You've admitted that we would be the first in the
nation to do this. How confident are we of the
city's legal standing to levy that tax?
Speaker 7: Who exactly feels confident that we're able to implement Thislet mean.
Speaker 16: Department, the Department of Law, the city's budget director, facing
questions about the legality of the tax during a city
council here on Tuesday.
Speaker 10: In our discussions with the Department of Law, they feel
that we have a strong case that through our amusement tax,
this is a tax that the city can levy on
social media companies.
Speaker 16: But other legal experts see it differently.
Speaker 9: On its face, frankly, it's unconstitutional.
Speaker 16: Amy Boss is vice president of government affairs at the
trade association net Choice, whose members include social media companies
like Meta and Snap. She says a nineteen eighty three
Supreme Court decision backs her up.
Speaker 9: The court ruled that you cannot single out media for
special tax treatment. And this is what Chicago is doing here, right.
The city can tax businesses broadly, but the moment they
pick out specific media companies, it becomes constitutionally suspect. They're
going to have to find this money from somewhere else
because it simply won't survive the inevitable legal challenge.
Speaker 1: They want money from everywhere.
Speaker 6: They want to actually charge social media companies fifty cent
a user a month. This is what Brandon Johnson and
these democrats. Jensaki is out there attacking jd Vance and
his wife. If we have time, we'll get to that today.
If not, we'll hold it till tomorrow. James Golden.
Speaker 4: Rush This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The
Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 3: On the Red Apple podcast Network.
Speaker 4: It's the Rush Hour with James Golden Rush now yours,
James Golden.
Speaker 6: I'm comforted by the fact that we don't have to
listen to all of it to get to what is
disturbing people.
Speaker 1: Jen Saki, I.
Speaker 12: Think the little mentoring candidate, Jade Vance wants to be
president more than anything else. I always wonder what's going
on in the mind of his wife. You're okay, please
bring blink four times, We'll come over here, We'll save you.
And that he's willing to do anything to get there,
and that your whole iteration you just outlined. I mean,
he's scarier in certain ways, he's smarter in some ways,
and he's young and ambitious and ambitious and agile in
the sense that he is a chameleon who makes himself into.
Speaker 6: Okay democrat clap traps. They would upset a lot of people.
Just attack on his wife. It makes me when it's
going on with come over here, We'll save you. It's
just so disgusting and so vile the way that they
treat this. And this is not uncommon with Tinsaki, this
is a lot of liberals.
Speaker 1: It is just unseemly.
Speaker 6: And if I tell you, if Republican or conservative commensators
ever went after Democrat Party wives the way that these
people do well.
Speaker 1: People say, well you Michelle Obama.
Speaker 6: Michelle Obama was inserting herself in the news. J. D
Vance's wife does not born on this day today Eddie Bergotti,
who is the singer, songwriter, cold lead vocalist with the Rascals,
