Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Welcome, my friends to the Wednesday edition of Bosley's Rush Hour.
It is the fastest hour in American media. Buckle up,
lots to do, as always, Among the stories that we
will talk about this afternoon, the Big Beautiful Bill and
the CBO. Oh goodness, the CBO. Carlos, I'm not trying
to embarrass you. You have to know, I'm saying that
I'm asking this question for a point. What is the CBO.
That's it, that's all. That's that's that's cool, that's cool, TJ.
What's the CBO? Don't look at Google, don't don't, don't
I AI it or whatever. You don't know. Okay, So
most Americans they've heard it in passing, and they see
the news stories like you will see if you read
every single mainstream outlet today. CBO says that the differences
are gonna go up cb all. What's the CBO. The
CBO is a Congressional Budget Office. So the CBO and
the CBO has been a bone of contention in politics
as long as there has been partisan politic Clinton cracked
a joke at one of his states, the unions and
he suckered Republicans into it. He mentioned the CBO, A
bunch of Republicans groaned, and then he came back with
some witty, pissy comeback line about well, they were right
about this, they were right about this, blah blah blah,
and it was that was whatever. He shook that bony
little finger at Toms and cracked that same bony little
finger that got a lot of work during the Monica
Lewinsky days. Did I say something, I'm sorry, Well, he
shook that bony little finger at America and told us
he didn't have He wasn't diddling the intern when he
was diddling the intern. How that finger got worked? He would,
he would anyway. I that was a brief digression. I'm
so sorry, my friends. These things trigger me, the political memories,
they trigger you. So the CBO, and so he's been
asked about the administration has been asked about the CBO,
saying that this, if we passed this big beautiful bill,
oh my goodness, the deficit's gonna go up. We used
to have a senator, Senator Sasser from Tennessee. He used
to call it the deficit, the deficit gonna go the
deficit and it used to be that everybody used to
worry about the deficit. Oh my goodness, the deficits going up.
Then came Obama, and they exploded the deficit more than
you can imagine the people that are complaining about it now.
And the mainstream press didn't care that the deficits were
going up, big deal. As long as the left was
getting more money to do the things that the left
did to America, no one cared how much debt we
were in. I saw a story in the Washington Post
today about the deficit and how Donald Trump's going to
explode the deficit. And the first thing I said to myself,
you know what, I'd be interested in reading this story
about how the deficit is going to explode by a
few trillion dollars after you same people do a story
one of you media outlets, somebody, the New York Times,
the Washington Post, the La Times, even even though people
barely read that thing, even in La one of them,
the Chicago Tribune, the Atlanta Urine Constipation, one of those newspapers,
somebody please do a story on how four point seven
trillion dollars walked out of the United States Treasury and
nobody can find it and the money isn't traceable. After
you do the story on that and tell us where
that four point seven trillion dollars went, then I might
might be interested in hearing what the Congressional Budget Office
has to say about the deficit. Until then, I really do.
And guess what, I'm not alone CNN. This guy, I'm
telling you poster Henry Enton. This guy is this guy's
just for a poster on that outlet. I mean, this guy, oh,
has something interesting to say. Cut three. This is Harry
talking about the tax cuts and the deficit. It's quick.
Gotta listen close. Republican voters. They don't care. They don't care.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, cut taxes even if the deficit increases.
You know, you go back thirty three years ago, it
was just twenty two percent who said cut taxes even
if the deficit increases. But the Party of fiscal Responsibility.
Speaker 2: Is no more.
Speaker 3: Now seventy four percent of Republicans say cut taxes even
if deficit increases. So if Donald Trump, more popularly on US,
sticks his neck out, the Republican voters will absolutely be
with them because they believe cut taxes even if deficit increases.
Quite different than way they were in the early nineteen
hundred and nineties.
Speaker 2: And lone has changed his the nineteen nineties. My friend
now part of this and the reason he mentioned Elon Musk.
Elon is going full against the bill. Elon has escalated
his attacks on Trump's legislative package. He is now urging
lawmakers to kill the bill. Kill the bill, and he's
saying and pretty much he's again he's one of the
people citing the deficits that are gonna go up. Also,
there is another story in The New York Times, trying
to sound like a Lutitia James by editing after the
end of the words za the New York timesa has
said that after muscling their bill through the House, sah,
some Republicans have REGRETSA. Some Republicans are now regretting their
voter and they would vote no if it had to
do it all over again. But they don't. It's in
the Senate. When Republicans muscle their sweeping domestic policy bill
through this House by a single vote after an overnight debate,
they breathed a sigh of relief, enjoyed a celebratory moment
at sunrise, and then retreated to their districts for a
week long recess. That's recess, but ebonic recess. Okay. One
of those who regrets their vote, as it turns out,
is MTG Full Transparency. I didn't know about this section,
Miss Green posted on social media. She calls it a
violation of states rights. What is she talking about? Well,
she had been unaware that the mega bills she voted
for would block states from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade.
MGG said she didn't know that was in there, otherwise
she'd have voted Neil. Yet, Mike flood Of admitted during
the time whole meeting that he didn't know that the
bill would limit judge's power to hold people in contempt
for violating court orders. He said he would not have
voted for that measure. Well, what's happening here? What's happening
here is the usual that happens in Washington, DC. My friend,
doesn't matter which party's in charge, doesn't matter who's running it.
I kept thinking when I was in my naive days, Oh,
when Republicans get in charge, Oh, they're gonna correct all
of the things that the Democrats did that ran rough
shot over the American people. They're gonna return to regular order,
and people, please please don't go to sleep, ladies and gentlemen,
when we start talking about this congressional stuff. He's already
talking about that CBO. Now he's gonna talk about regular order.
Who cares? Regular order means simply that they were gonna
do things the right way. They were gonna send bills
kind of like what you learned in school. They were
going to have the little congress people right up the bills.
They're considered a little in the House compared to the
big guys in the Senate. And then they go to committee,
and then the committee would mark them up. And then
after mark them up, the committee would argue about them
and come up with the final product. And then and
then it get voted on, and then it goes to
the Senate. The Senate has their chance at it. Then
it goes back, if necessary, to the House, and loo lah,
the sausages made, goes up to the White House. White
House signs, the President signs or veto's or pocket vetos
a bill, and blah blah blah. It has never happened
like that in years, especially with the budget. And I
was under the impression that when the Republicans back in
my naive days. When Republicans get in and control the House,
all the Shenanigans are gonna stop. These people are serious,
they want to do things the right way. And if
that's what any of you thinks, then you're wrong. None
of it stops. In the case of the one thousand
and thirty seven page bill the GOP is calling the
one big beautiful Bill, active Republicans barely cobble enough votes
to pass it, and blah blah blah. And in the end,
Marjorie Taylor Green tells the truth a little bit in
this article. She says, you know what's wrong to read
over a thousand pages when things keep changing up to
the last minute before we voted on it. And that's
the part that I'm saying doesn't change. This has not
changed in years. They stuffed these big bills with the
things that most people say we want. We want tax cuts.
We Republicans want tax cuts, right, so, oh yeah, they
stuffed the bill with some tax cuts in them. Liberals
are all whiny the tax cuts they think they can
cheek text kids for them rich. It's gonna explode the deficit.
The deficit is gonna go up and then the Republican
is like me and you, we're sitting around, we watch it,
we say, okay, we got tax cuts, and we don't
care what's in the rest of the thousand pages either
because we're not gonna read it because we don't see it.
And even if we did see it. Have you ever
in your life tried to read a congressional bill? Have
you ever if you really want an exercise in pain
and torture, this is what teachers are to use in
school to punish students. They ought to make them read
congressional bills aloud. It is torturous. Unless you're a lawyer,
you have no idea, what have the shi you know
what is in there that you're reading because this thing
references that this thing, for instance, something that happened twenty
five years ago. This thing reference is something that's in
section B six of the annex and the the and
something of some other bill that happened. Who knows when
it is ridiculous to try to read these bills. They
are not in any language that any of us can understand.
And if you're a lawyer, then maybe you can. Louis
gomer I love Louis gomer I haven't talked to him
in a while. My brother, he used to actually read
the bills before they got voted on. He'd be up
all night long reading these bills. But most people in Congress, frankly,
and it is known, do not have the time to
themselves sit down and read through these bills, and their
staffs they take on sections of the bill, and sections
of the bill get written. But these things are massive,
and this is the game that both parts have played.
So yes, things get snuck in, and Republicans in this
respect are no different than Democrats. And the system of
doing this sucks. They're supposed to have seventy two hours
to read a bill, right with Marjorie Taylor Green set
is right up until the last minute. They're shoving stuff
in there. It's a joke the way that they do this.
So I'm not surprised there's upset. Is my point. Am
I saying don't vote. They shouldn't vote for the bill. No,
I'm not saying that, But I'm saying it's not all
tickety boo, folks. The way that things are being done
in Congress never has been. Sam's going on slurly fastest
hour in American media. Yeah, We've got more talk about
the DAFAIC when we get back, so just stay with us.

Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden on the
Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: That saxophone you're hearing Raffael Ravenscroft, musician, composer, author, born today,
Happy birthday, Heavenly. He passed away in twenty fourteen. He
played the sax riff here on this Baker Street. I
love this album Love Jerry Rafferty. He was paid twenty
seven pounds fifty shittings and supposedly the check bounced. His
solicitors kept it on the wall. This song earned Jerry
Rafferty over eighty thousand pounds a year in royalty. The
poor guy that played the saxon it twenty seven some
of our pounds and the check bounced. Okay, very quickly.
We don't have time for this right now. But Caroline
Leavitt also weighed in on the CBO stuff. We're gonna
hear about that. Now. Here's the thing, folks, Donald Trump
and the administration has been saying, all us talk about
the deficit is from the CBO, and they're not even
calculating the tarffs. Well, they calculated the tariffs today they
released the report that all its fear mongering going on.
You know what, the tariffs will reduce the deficits by
two point five trillion dollars over ten years, almost the
same amount that the tax cuts. As Donald Trump has
been right about all of this, that little information came
this afternoon that they finally did factor in the tariffs
and what Donald Trump has been saying about this economy
and his plans on how he's gonna do now. So
if the tax cuts a neutral with tariffs, what does
that leave the growth? And we are, as Princess Dai
has said many times, looking the next year, we are
poised for explosive growth in this country. Keep it right here,
We've got so much more. Don't go away.
Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden on the
Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 4: Trump recently cut taxpayer funded healthcare for illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2: What's your take on that? It's just irresponsible. I think
that's wrong.
Speaker 4: What if I told you that that's actually Governor Walls
who recently did that.
Speaker 5: I saw the Governor Walls had to do some compromising.
Speaker 2: No, I did hear that that's a matter of the budget.
I heard that he has to do that.
Speaker 4: White people have never built their own houses, farmed their
own farms, worked manual labor in the history of the
United States.
Speaker 6: So when all the workers are reported and there's no
one else here to fulfill that role, because Americans, especially
the ones that look like me, are not going to
do manual labor.
Speaker 4: Four five dollars, three dollars whatever. That's statistics and predictions
of literally AI bots who are smarter than humans. It's
not looking good for us. We as American citizens collectively
have to put it in to this corrupt administration.
Speaker 2: Like people have never built a thing, never built their
own houses. They never like where are these this generation
of a little young racist wake people? Now? Speaking of California.
This today from the Los Angeles Times, the Trump administration
sees no viable path forward to finish the high speed
rail project. It is moving finally to pull federal funding.
Four billion dollars could go bye bye within the next
thirty seven days after the administration found no viable path.
There's three hundred and fifteen page compliance review released today
by the Department of Transportation cites the budget shortfalls, deadlines,
misleading projected riderships in this project that were supposed to
connect San Francisco to Los Angeles via high speed rail
not a not any other track has been laid. It
was supposed to be finished finished in twenty twenty two.
Fourteen billion dollars has already been spent on this boondogo,
eighty two percent by California voters who are extremely high,
taxed eighteen percent by the rest of us through your
federal tax money. The Trump administration reportedly not going to
seek repayment of the pass funds, but they're saying, nope,
we're going to stop this not monstrosity. The budget has
shot up over one hundred billion dollars more than what
they said it were going to cost. They said it
would cost thirty three billion dollars in two thousand and eight.
They have already spent ten billions of dollars that are
not even projected and what it would really cost to
make this thing happen. Now they say they're just going
to limit construction to one hundred and seventy one mile
stretch between Central Valley because they can't get a high
speed line up from LA to San Francisco with one
hundred billion dollars. But they're han't laid track. This project
was supposed to be finished. They need somebody needs to
investigate with every single dollar of this win, who got
rich off this fleece from taxpayer. They knew from the
very beginning, By the way, I remember discussing this with
Princess Diana. I don't know what years and years ago
we talked about this, had a long conversation about this,
the fact that they knew that they would never be
enough riders to make this viable when they actually approved it.
They knew that it was never going to be profitable,
and instead this has been one massive get rich boondoggle.
We call it a boondoggle, but some people got rich,
very rich on seventeen billion dollars that was spent. Now
you want to know why that happens? Give you let
me give you another example back to I found this one.
We're gonna hit some sound bites here. I found this
today almost unbelievable. It goes almost two minutes and thirty seconds, folks,
so be patient. But this is this liberal senator out
of Rhode Island, Jack Reid, he's questioning Howard Lutnik the
Commerce Department. Just take a listen here at this conversation.
Cut Faijigo.
Speaker 7: And it's been reported in the press that you are
insisting on personally reviewing every commerce contract over one hundred
thousand dollars. That is true, Well, that seems to be
something that is not particularly efficient and at results in
the five seven hundred contracts just to know them. So again,
if you can't find reliable support to do those reviews,
I think you're wasting your time, Franklin.
Speaker 5: So I am tasked with the responsibility of my department
and contracts over one hundred thousand dollars should be reviewed
by the Secretary. Now I may have more energy and
more time. And if you drive by the Department of
Commerce late at night, you're going to see our lights
on because I'm going through it. I do it with
my team. I do it with the people who run
the bureaus, and I teach them how to analyze contracts,
not to push forward what was done before. And I'll
give you one quick example. They come to me with
the planes hurricane hunters, and they said there are six
hundred and seventy two million dollars. I said, wow, how
many planes do we get? We get two? Two planes?
Speaker 2: Wow? Can I see the plane? Please?
Speaker 5: Just show me a picture of the plane we're gonna
And they show me this picture of a plane. You
remember old planes that had like mullions and the windscreen.
And they showed me that three propellers on each side.
And I said, my god, when was this plane new?
They said no, no, no, you're buying a new plane.
Speaker 2: I said, no, when was the first one? Five things happen?
Speaker 7: Talk me about a six hundred million dollar acquisition. That's
a lot more than one hundred thousand dollars contract to
do something like cleaning in the buildings that you occupy.
Speaker 2: Oh, we end up.
Speaker 5: We cancel huge numbers of absurd contracts for software nobody uses.
I said, how many people use this software?
Speaker 2: Zero?
Speaker 5: These are waste, these are fraud or these are abuse
and it's my job.
Speaker 2: How many points? And this goes on and on. The
Democratic senator is complaining because this Secretary of Commerce is
actually asking to review every contract in that agency that's
over one hundred thousand dollars. He wants to see personally
what it is. And this United States senator is giving
him pushback on it. Why, folks, the entire Democratic Party
is built on they have shoveled so much money into
these nonprofits. So much money goes out the door, and
that shouldn't be going out the door. They are Actually
he is actually offended that the Secretary of the Commerce
Department wants to know how the money is being spent. Well,
that's a tremendous waste of time looking at things over
one hundred thousand dollars. Anything else to go?
Speaker 5: All?
Speaker 2: Right? Another hearing today the Senate, let's go through these
real clubs. There was an changed with Spartagus and with
Ted Cruz ran eight minutes. I can't play the whole thing,
but I can't take it out of context either. I
may have to wait till Saturday and see if we
can play it. But it is pretty hysterical, and it's
on the idea of these judges who had their homes protested,
Supreme Court judges and the Democrat response to it. But
there were some other things that took place. Ted CRU's
number six and then Senator Eric Schmidt on how Democrats
run hearings. We're going to play Ted Cruz first on
the judicial warfare that's gLing on with the courts and
Donald Trump in Senator Cruz.
Speaker 8: Since President Trump returned to office in January, there have
been over forty universal injunctions issued against the federal government.
That's in four months. Thirty five of those forty came
from the same five judicial districts. Let's put this into context.
In the first one hundred and fifty years of the Republic,
zero nationwide injunctions were issued.
Speaker 2: Zero.
Speaker 8: That's for one hundred and fifty years. In the entirety
of the twentieth century, twenty seven nationwide injunctions were issued.
That's over one hundred years. Under Presidents Bush, Obama, and
Biden combined, thirty two nationwide injunctions. Under President Trump's first
term four years, sixty four nationwide injunctions, and now in
just four months were already over forty in four months,
the Trump administration has seen more nationwide injunctions than the
entirety of the twentieth century, and more nationwide injunctions than
Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden combined.
This is not normal, This is not justice. This is
an orchestrated campaign of judicial obstruction. Joe Biden when he
was president nominated to the bench radicals. I have said,
only slightly tongue in cheek that Joe Biden did something
I used to think was impossible. He made me miss
Barack Obama. But by comparison, the Biden judicial nominees were
far more extreme and radical than they were under Obama.
They sought out radicals who would implement policymaking from the bench,
and they are doing precisely that.
Speaker 2: That's Ted Kruz. Now, Eric Schmidt, this is really quick.
We got to listen fast this, Marty Schmidt.
Speaker 9: Chief Justice Bosberg right here in DC has found himself
into four major Trump cases, a statistic impossibility. Boseberg took
over the Alien Enemies Act and ordered planes to be
turned around in the dead of night, despite not being
the emergency judge on duty that night. It seems clear
that as chief Judge, he wants to be able to
grab cases for himself. I've had first hand experience with
this non random case assignment in our federal appellate court system.
When I was Attorney General in Missouria, often found myself
litigating in the Eighth Circuit, a circuit of unique makeup
of the eleven judges in the Circuit, ten have been
appointed by Republicans, Yet the one Democrat appointee, Judge Jane Kelly,
found herself hearing nearly every political sensitive case in the
circuit time after time, case after case, miracle after miracle
for the Democrats, Judge Kelly would be there for nearly
every politically sensitive case. This was not due to the
good luck of Judge Kelly. The Circuit Clerk's office, which
assigned cases to appellate panels, was filled with her former
clerks in ideological compatriots. In practice, they set the nationwide
policy by rigging case assignment.
Speaker 2: So this is something that hopefully coming out of this hearing,
they supposedly the Senator is going to be working on
dealing with the way that these Democrat liberals activist judges
find their way on too cases. We shall see. I
have my doubts this one. Next, Senator Kennedy, I'm telling
you we got to go quick. Senator Kennedy today with
Professor Kate Shaw. She teaches law at the University at
Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania, and you know what, she's married to
this MSNBC host guy, I forgot his name. It's not important,
but anyway, this was that Christessor.
Speaker 10: Let me ask you this why I have you? On
April twenty second, two tenty twenty four, you said there
are some members of the Supreme Court that are evil.
Which justices were you talking about? I'll take it your word, Centator.
I don't recall it using that word, But all right,
here's what you said. You were talking about the majority
opinion in Mauldrove v. City of Saint Louis. She said,
quote Justice Kagan, I mean, will she be able to
control the opinion's future distortion by her evil colleagues? Probably
not end quote Who are you talking about, sir?
Speaker 1: I'm very skeptical.
Speaker 2: It's a transcription.
Speaker 4: It was probably a transcription error.
Speaker 5: I do not think.
Speaker 10: I think no, you said it once, you own up
to it, which you call some members of the Supreme
Court evil? Now which ones do you think of evil?
I would have to refresh my recollection.
Speaker 3: I've been very.
Speaker 10: Critical of the Supreme for this statement.
Speaker 3: Wren't you I'm doing off It doesn't sound like something
that you want to.
Speaker 10: Say pishtat that you're teaching our kids.
Speaker 11: I don't refer to Supreme Court justices as evil in
the in the classroom.
Speaker 10: On the podcast in April twenty second, twenty twenty four. Okay,
big as Dallas, and you're an officer of the court
and you're here advising us to be respectful of federal
judges and you say they're evil members of the United
States Supreme Court. Jag me with a spoon.
Speaker 2: We got to take a quick break room because I
want to squeeze on one more. The problem he called
it the problem. Yes, yes, we got to take a
break fastest hour in American media, folks, both smys Rush Hour.

spoken up about why we need immigration. This is a
progressive member of Congress. She comes from the state of Vermont,
and this is what democrats think of you. And when
just listen, please, of course.
Speaker 11: We have to come to a place in Congress where
it is no more a political issue. But we see
it as an existential issue for the country if we
don't have ours people to come here needly.
Speaker 9: To work when the mills are on here.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be right.
Speaker 11: Now, We're not gonna have anybody around the waur asses
because we don't have a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Speaking of immigration again, we need them to come here
because if we don't, we won't have anybody to wipe
our asses. We won't have anybody to wipe our asses.
That is Progressive congresswoman from the state of Vermont, Becca Balance.
We need immigrants in this kind of those of you here,
