Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 5: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 4: Attention dittoheads, attention bow scouts. It's time for the soul
of excellence.
Speaker 6: He is a radio host here in New York.
Speaker 4: The Rush hour is on the air, Rush Rush Now,
here's James Golden.
Speaker 7: Thanks the PLEAO, I thank Chairwoman the Vat Clark and
all of the distinguished members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Today's decision by this illegitimate Supreme Court majority strikes a
blow against the Voting Rights Act and is designed to
undermine the ability of communities of color all across this
country to elect their candidate of choice. But we're not
here to step back. We're here to fight back now.
When this decision came out earlier today, it's an unacceptable decision,
but not an unexpected decision. And now we're at a
point where affirmative action is gone. Diversity is gone, equity gone,
inclusion gone, racial tolerance gone, the Voting Rights Act largely gone.
But guess what, extremists, We're still here and we're not
going anywhere. And we believe in this country not a
perfect country.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is how came. Jeffries, of course, is the
House Minority Leader for the Democrat Party, railing against what
he calls an illeg legitimate and corrupt Supreme Court. What
does that mean? That means anything that the Democrats don't
like is illegitimate, is corrupt. And they're doing to the
Supreme Court what they do with Ice, what they do
with any agency that is acting to enforce the laws
of the nation or the Constitution of the United States.
All of that said, I do have a level of
some empathy for the way the perception of this will
hit a lot of African Americans. Come on, I mean,
how could I not. So you have a state like
Mississippi that in Louisiana, third black state and you got
one seat. Welcome to how it feels to be a Republican. Though,
if you're in states like Massachusetts, if you're in Illinois,
welcome how it feels to be a Republican in California
where you have no voice in the governance of this
state at all. So, I mean, this whole gerrymandering thing
there is a part of me. Look, I'm a political observer.
It's post early rush hour, by the way, fast the
Southern American media, the Thursday edition. I'm a political observer,
have been since I was a kid. Okay, observing politics,
and I have always liked the coverage of politics, and
so when these things emerge, these events that happened politically,
I even excited by them. To be quite honest with you,
It's like, Ooh, what's happening now? And at times it's
infuriating what is happening now? At times it's somewhat rewarding,
But there are always consequences for it. It meaning the
things that happen on a daily basis. The Democrat Party
in the United States of America has built their infrastructure
on corruption. Some of it is legal corruption, meaning it
is a corruption of a sense of fairness or morality.
For instance, the Democrat parties rushed to bring in eleven million,
eleven million illegal immigrants on top of the twenty assorted
million that we're here already, pushing the numbers of illegal
immigrants illegal aliens in this country to over thirty million.
Perhaps those thirty million people are in the United States census,
which means that those thirty million people who are here
illegally have a voice in the number of congressional seats,
and Democrats have used that corrupt notion to inflate the
number of seats that they have in Congress. Without thirty
million illegal immigrants in this nation, the Democrats would have
far less, far fewer congressional seats than they have today.
And they know it, and the news media that defends
Democrats on a regular basis know it. This is inarguable,
this is one of the ways that they have maintained
political power through through illegal immigration. And then you get
into the money that comes from that, whether it's through benefits,
whether we're the things that we see happening in Minneapolis.
Now you look at what has happened with the Voting
Rights Act, and the Voting Rights Act was signed with
good intentions because Southern Democrats Democrats using a Jim Crow
system that was started by Democrats, Progressive Democrats. By the way,
Woodrow Wilson was in front of the Jim Crow movement
in America when he came in and pretty much said
he didn't want black people serving in the state in
the federal government and put restrictions whites only, no blacks allowed.
It started with Democrats. It started with Democrats in reconstruction
after the Civil War. It started politically with Democrats with
Woodrow Wilson and other Democrats, and then it extended to
Southern Democrats blocking black people from having the right to
participate in the American democracy through poll taxes and through
other things that kept them from exercising their right to vote.
Democrats did that as a remedy. In nineteen sixty four,
following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, there was
a move to try to correct some of that injustice,
hence the Voting Rights Act and civil rights legislation. Now
what has taken place since then is that you have
seats in Congress that are pretty much based on the
color of Let's look at where black people are voting
and round up a district and that's where they if
they're clustered together, and we'll make sure that that district goes.
So the idea was, let gerrymander seats for black people.
It also, by the way, it's not just black people.
There are seats gerrymandered for large Hispanic populations to make
sure that those voting blocks exist. There are seats that
are gerrymandered on the basis of political party. If I
had my way, my way, everything would be a total scramble.
What do I mean by that? I mean we have
the technology right now in place that's available, that we
could look at the entire map of the United States
of America, its territories, its provinces, and use technology to
draw lines that are equitable based on population size and
the geography of those states. And who knows. I have
no idea who would be in power. I have no
idea how the states, how any of the parties would fare.
If that were the way that election lines were drawn,
that would be my preference. Put it up for grabs,
all of it. Make sure that it's all fair, that
all these things don't matter your party, your race, your ethnicity,
none of it should matter. Here's the geography, here's the
most even splits of the population. Here your election districts.
But you know what, neither party will do that, ever,
because they're all invested in making sure that the incumbents
stay the incumbents and this grab for power. And since
that is the playing field that Americans have been forced
to live with, then that's where the competition for seats
is going to be. And the Supreme Court acted in
accordance with the Constitution. The constitutions not to put supposed
to put a finger on the scale of one racial
group or another. It's supposed to be color blind, and
so to that regard, I think the decision was a
sound one. But Democrats are not happy, and I frankly
understand why they're not happy, and that's just too that's
too bad. Do I think that there might be some
unfairness in it? Yes, I do, But I also think
it's unfair that Reublicans are shut out of power in
the largest state in the Union. They have no power California.
In states like Massachusetts, Illinois, their power is either nonexistent
or severely limited, and there are no complaints about that.
So if you live under a system where unfairness is
the coin of the realm, then it's no sense complaining
about unfairness, because that is the coin of the realm,
and that's what we are dealing here with the way
that our electoral process has evolved. Yes, Carlos, that's.
Speaker 8: This Scotter's decision takes the whole Virginia affairandom out of
the picture that happened I had two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. That's a separate matter. These states redistricting,
and that matter is being now held up in the
courts because there are charges and allegations, and I believe
they are sound that Virginia did not follow the law
when they put this up for a vote, unlike Florida,
which we will get into shortly. So again, ladies and gentlemen,
if I had my way, Jerry Manderin would cease and
we would use technology and just scramble everything. All bets
off for both parties. Here's a straight scientific method of
how we draw districts and flip the coin no matter
what comes with may these are the people that are
going to be elected on a scientific basis of what
the districts are. But that will not happen in this country.
So we have to deal with what is. And what
is at this moment does not benefit the Democrats. They
may lose up to nineteen seats because of that Supreme
Court decision yesterday, and is it deserved, yes, based on
the way that they as a party have corrupted the
American electoral system. James Golden snow, we'll have more on this,
and we're not done with our King Jeffreys yet either.
And Florida and some of the other news of the day.
The night is here for some Democrats and they're not
seeing much light at the moment. They are afraid. They
are very afraid, and a lot of people are not
standing by them. We'll get to that too if we
have time. Don't go away. Oh they're crying. They're crying.
They are shedding, They're shedding tears.

Speaker 6: James Golden known popularly as both nedly.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 2: So on the date that this momentous and it is
truly momentous decision dropped from the Supreme Court. Of course,
Florida completed their redistricting map, butch Florida Governor Ron Desanchez
has said he's going to sign haw King. Jeffrey, of
course had spoke before that cut one. And remember this
was about two weeks ago from hakeenes O.
Speaker 7: Mess to Florida Republicans is f around and find out
if they go down the road of a DeSantis dummy mander,
the Florida Republicans are gonna find themselves in the same
situation as Texas Republicans who are on the run right
now and under no circumstances are Texas Republicans picking up
five seats, they'll be fortunate if they get two or three,
while in California we are going to get all five.
The Republicans are dumby mandering their way into the minority
before single voter's cast because they started this war and
we're gonna finish it.
Speaker 2: That was the day that he called for total warfare
or maximum warfare as you put it. Well, after Florida
passed each legislative map, Governor Ron Desantez had something to say,
and this is we gonna do.
Speaker 9: Maximum warfare against Republicans.
Speaker 2: Florida Republicans uf around. You're gonna find out all this stuff.
And you know what I said was.
Speaker 9: Listen and he's like, oh, I, if you do the redistricting,
we're gonna take out all your members. We're gonna do
all this stuff. And what I said was, go ahead,
make my day. You don't think we're gonna you want
to come down here and spend money and in Florida,
roll the dice and take your chances. But don't think
that you can come down here issue threats to us
and somehow you're gonna make us flinch. That is not happening.
And in fact, it did not happen because as soon
as he came out and started doing that, last week,
Florida legislature turned around and they passed a new map.
Speaker 2: And that new map essentially means that some Democrat seats
that we have well known could be up for grabs
or turned Republican more likely, including the seat of Debbie
Washerman Schultz, known affectionately by some as Debbie Blabermouth Schultz.
That's what I think Rush used to call her, Debbie
Washerman Schultz. I don't think her seat will survive in
Democrat hands given the new map of Florida. James Golden

Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative on

Speaker 6: Sure James Golden known popular as most nerdly as.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden, Rush Rush.
Speaker 2: If somebody tells you they had a SE day, you
know which thing you had a it was an S day?
Sh day at SE day? Or how are they feeling?
I feel like sh and then you know what they're
talking about? Right, Okay, Well, on this day in twenty
twenty five, the Dave Matthews Band agreed to pay two
hundred thousand dollars to people that were tourists on a
boat in Chicago. Their bus driver, who was alone on
board the bus at the time, was crossing a bridge
and he decided, well, I'm alone, this would be a
good time to dump the contents of the rest so
he dumped it, and the contents of the restroom of
their tour bus landed all over people that were under
that were on a boat under the Chicago River. Those
people had an se day for real. All the s
landed on them. So on this day in twenty twenty five,
Dave Matthews Band agreed to pay two hundred thousand dollars
to settle that se day for those people. They were
fined ten thousand dollars. They had already donated one hundred
thousand dollars to help protect the Chicago River. They offered
their deep apologies to over one hundred boat passengers. They
were on an archaeo archaeological tour at the time when
their se day happened. Yeah, Bill Castle's in the riverbank
of Yeah, what a story. James Golan's thirdly with you
now we left off with Florida. I want to play
you two things from State Representative Angie Nixon. As the
vote was being taken with the state map, you have
the legislature. They're all there getting ready to vote. This
woman dressed in this bright pink outfit takes a bullhorn
and start shouting as through the bullhorn as they're getting
ready to vote on Florida's new map. That's cut six.
Let's listen to Angie Nixon, state representative in Florida.
Speaker 10: Hey, y'all's the United States and Canada?
Speaker 2: Wrong one. I'm sorry. Let's go to cut number five.
That's it. Here she is, it is represented. Person's melca
has wave closed. The question now recurs.
Speaker 11: On final passage of HB one D, the clerk will
unlock the machine and the members will proceed to vote.
Have all members voted? Have all members voted the clerk.
The clerk will lock the machine and announce the vote.
Speaker 12: Eighty three yas twenty days, mister speaker.
Speaker 2: Show the bill passes. Read the next bill.
Speaker 13: None on the desk, mister speaker, the bill passes.
Speaker 2: Right, my god, she's still yelling. And you know what
I love about that clip. They're ignoring her She's parading
up and down the halls of the legislative body with
a bullhorn, yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs,
and they just ignore her. They're like, Okay, she's on
the loose. Ignore her. She doesn't look like she's gonna
bite anybody. Ignore her. No threat of physical violence or
anything like that. It looks like she's, you know, she's
just demonstrating. Ignore her. So she spoke afterwards, this is
the woman with the bullhorn in the pink outfit. Representative
Angie Nixon.
Speaker 10: Hey, y'all's the United States? Any candidates you want to
stay Representative Angie Nixon here, y'all. I'm so upset because
I had to disrupt the House proceedings yet again, because
you're just trying to push through illegally drawn maps that
diminish representation in the Black community, that diminished representation in
the Latino community, that diminished representation in the Jewish community.
This is a slap in the face of voters everywhere
in our state. And they're only doing it. Republicans are
only doing this so that they can look out for
Donald Trump and allow him to have un unfettered power.
I have a problem with these That's why I'm running
for United States centing we have to do something different.
Speaker 2: I have five kids, y'all.
Speaker 10: From a blended with my blended family, and I refuse
to allow them to continue to live in a place
where their rights are under attack and where people say
that they don't matter. If you want something different, y'all,
you'll do something different. I need you all to join
my people's powers.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do her campaign commercial for but
that's the woman in the pink and Nixon. Hey, y'all,
is I like how it is becomes the tooth syllable word.
I always love that. I love it when singers do it.
E is to it is. So she is very upset, apparently,
ladies and gentlemen, over what took place. It's a Republican
state and so yeah, just like California is a Democrat state. Apparently,
as I said, when unfairness is the coin of the realm,
all is fair? Harry Enton has something to say, apparently
from singing in and this I found surprising cut ten
about where black people are since so much of this effort,
you know you heard her raise it. They're dig ye
black people being better You heard her raise it. And
you know what, It may be true that the new
maps are going to encroach on some districts where you
have black voters, but that's not the extent of it. Certainly,
Debbie Washerman shut voters, that's it's Democrat voters. But you
see something's happening in the Democrat vote. And let's check
in with Harry ngenc N for this. This little.
Speaker 14: Right now in the numbers, as President Trump and the
Republican Party are chipping away at the long term advantage
that Democrats have had with black voters. With African Americans,
you can see it right here. Look Trump's approval among
African Americans at this point in term one, he was
at twelve percent. You know, he's been losing ground with
a lot of he's gaining He's gaining.
Speaker 2: Ground with African Americans.
Speaker 14: He's up to sixteen percent at this point.
Speaker 2: And you say, this isn't that big of a.
Speaker 14: Shift, But I will tell you Repulicans absolutely love this
shift that's going on because Democrats have had such a
long term advantage. The fact that he's actually gaining ground
versus where he was in term number one, this has
major implications for elections. Down the line because Democrats, especially
in a lot of these type races you talk about
places like Georgia, right down in the South, you see
this type of movement for Trump actually gaining ground. This
could have major ramifications and help put Republicans over the
top and a number of Southern places in the midterm elections.
Speaker 15: So do you see this as part of a bigger trend?
Speaker 14: I see this as absolutely part of a bigger trend.
Donald Trump's Republican Party is absolutely gaining ground, not just
him gaining in terms of his approval rating, but look
at the party I d margin Kate, because this to
me was absolutely stunning. Look at this party id margin
among African Americans. At this point in Trump term number one,
Democrats had a sixty three point advantage. That is absolutely
fall and look at where it is now, a double
digit shift away. Democrats of course still have the advantage,
but it's a twelve point shift to the Republican Party.
And I look back through Gallus records. They sent me
their records, and this, in fact lead that Democrats have
is actually smaller than any lead from two six to
twenty twenty one. So democratically, but again we're talking about
chipping away. Republicans are chipping away at this long term
advantage that Democrats.
Speaker 2: Have had among African Americans.
Speaker 14: We see it in terms of Trump's approval rating, and
we even see it to a wider degree among the party.
I d margin were all of a sudden, there are
a number of African Americans who are walking away from
the Democratic Party and a number of them who are
walking into the Republican tents.
Speaker 13: That was very interesting looking at that Pascal.
Speaker 2: That's all we need, yep, that's all we need. It's happening.
It's happening slowly, but it is happening. I want to
turn my attention to a few other things that are
happening as well. You know, Seattle, she's called the Mundamie
of the West Coast, ma'am Domenie of the West Coast.
Her name is Katie Wilson. That's cut thirteen. He or
she is in her war against millionaires.
Speaker 13: I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave
our state are like super overblown. And if you know
the ones that leave like by so.
Speaker 2: This is amazing. This is what the Democrats are doing.
The people that pay the most taxes in American cities
they're Democrats, are at war with them. They're ridiculing them,
they're laughing at them, they're targeting them. Is the case
of Mountdamia's targeting New York's millionaires, and they're insisting that
even though they pay the highest taxes in both New York,
Seattle other Blue cities. And you hear her attitude. So
the ones that leave, the ones that don't like it
get so what by okay, okay, by well, okay, We'll
see how that plays out long term. Not good now
in California, moving down from Seattle, this is interesting because
of what it represents and could develop. I don't know
how long this will to go through the court system,
but the mayor of Ela Caholme, Mayor Bill Wells, has
initiated a lawsuit. Let's listen in for the details. Cut fourteen.
This is El Caholne Mayor Bill Wells.
Speaker 8: This is might either one of the most important days
of my life.
Speaker 12: Standing outside city hall Alcoholane. Mayor Bill Wells and the
America First Policy Institute announce their lawsuit against California Attorney
General Rob Bonta.
Speaker 2: To see clarity on the presidents of law. What takes
president Federal or state law.
Speaker 12: At the center of the lawsuit is SB fifty four,
the state law that prohibits local police from working with
federal immigration enforcement. The plaintiffs argue federal law supersedes state
policies and say California's current law is putting local police
officers in a tough spot.
Speaker 8: What law should our police officers follow? Should they follow
the laws of the United States of America? Of course,
should they follow the laws in the state of California.
Speaker 12: Just last year, Elkoholone City Council voted to comply with
federal immigration law to help remove those with violent criminal offenses,
something state law already allows. Around the same time last year,
city officials say Homeland Security asked a city council member
if alcoholan police could help do welfare checks on children
in the city on its behalf. After asking the state,
the AG's office advised against doing so, citing SB fifty four,
adding that the county already has a system in place
to check the welfare of these children and protect their privacy.
Speaker 8: I shouldn't have been surprised what I was when the
state said, no, you cannot do welfare checks on children.
Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen. This is a big
deal because if if the court decides that, if the
court decides that the sanctuary policies of California are illegal,
it is going to have a dramatic impact on everything. Period. Okay,
let's continue. Turn off my phone. My phone wasn't on.
It's got a message. Turn off my phone. My phone
wasn't well well anyway, Okay, so we covered Seato, We've
covered California. Now let's head out to just a report
that came in on Snap. This is a quick report
from Fox News on some of your Snap recipients. Let's
listen into this report. That's number sixteen.
Speaker 16: Snap pun participants own more than fourteen thousand luxury cars.
That includes three Ferraris, eleven Lamborghini's, fifty nine Maseratis, one
hundred and forty one Porsches, and more than two thousand Teslas.
Speaker 17: So how does this happen? Secretary Brooks, just stop it
and just start it right there. This went by fast.
Want you to hear this again, Snap residents, you are
paying you at taxes. They are demanding food stamps. And
let's listen to the findings in just one state here's
what they found from SNAP. Among SNAP recipients, Pray from.
Speaker 16: The top, SNAP participants own more than fourteen thousand luxury cars.
That includes three Ferraris, eleven Lamborghinis, fifty nine Maseratis, one
hundred and forty one Porsches, and more than two thousand Teslas.
So how does this happen? Secretary Brook Rollins says there's
an exemption called broad based categorical Eligibility that allows people
to receive benefits without state officials reviewing their physical and
monetary assets. Right now, forty two states have the program.
Rowins believes they are very close to fixing that loophole.
The department says it has moved forty three million people
off snaps so far and it's pushing for more. And
this year, more than one hundred and fifty arrests have
been made for allegedly misusing the system.
Speaker 18: There are people in America who today are maybe not
able to have the amount of food they need to
feed their children. I don't know that there are thirty
eight million of those people, but there are certainly those people.
Speaker 16: And Rollins tells us most of those people arrested have
been American citizens, but they are looking into the possibility
of people committing fraud from overseas.
Speaker 2: Wow, well, apparently my phone somehow another was ringing because
I just got a note from my beloved programmed director.
We were hearing the ringing of your phone. I don't know,
I didn hear a thing. Don't know how that happened technology.
Sorry about that, my friends, I have pull Joyce. We
let me see. Okay, so you got that. We got
all the Ferraris, Maserats, Lamborghinis, fourteen thousand people that you're
paying food stamps for running around just one state in
luxury vehicles. That may any of you that are paying
for their food stamps would never be able to affoid
those vehicles or want those vehicles because they are so expensive.
And let us leave you with another SoundBite here. This
is a happy one cut eighteen from Fox. Listen to
this report, folks. This is great news, a.
Speaker 15: Real sense of excitement here at Gate D fifty five
in Miami International Airport. That's something you haven't seen up
on the board for the past seven years. Caracas, Venezuela
American Airline is going to make the first commercial flight
to Venezuela from the US in seven years to the
unrest in that country. It just hasn't happened for a
lot of people here in Florida. It's going to be
a chance for some to reunite with their family members.
Speaker 19: We are going to be able to see our families.
They are going to be able to come and see us.
This is amazing, so us, all of us, the Venezuelan
community here in Miami are so happy, and now it's
connecting the two countries, so amazing.
Speaker 15: They're pulling out all the stops here Cafe con Leche
for your rappas, and they're just starting to board right now.
This is a symbol not just of reunions, but how
much has changed in Venezuela.
Speaker 2: Over the point they were having a party, folks at
the gate, commercial flights resuming from the United States of
America to Venezuela. Happy days. We'll be right back. Don't
go away.
