Speaker 5: Golden Show on the Red Apple podcast network.

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 6: According to the Department of Justice, Eileen Wong and her

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,239
former fiance ran a fake website from twenty twenty to

29
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,760
twenty twenty two. They published articles at the direction of

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,000
the Chinese government. Here's an example from Wang's plea agreement,

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,719
in which she instructed to share a story denying the

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,799
existence of genocide and forced labor camps inside China. A

33
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:39,040
twenty twenty three report looked into the scope of Chinese

34
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:42,519
espionage in the United States. It found more than two

35
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,680
hundred incidents since two thousand, with a significant fight in

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,000
recent years. Last month, the FBI also gave insight into

37
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:52,799
China's nefarious tactics.

38
00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:57,959
Speaker 7: They do these very overt things just to scare the

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,920
rest of the community and recruit people to report, you know,

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,000
within the community. So they're creating this Poorwellian climate affair

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,240
where everyone is afraid to speak out.

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,719
Speaker 6: So there are Chinese spies among us, Ailean Wan admittedly

43
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:15,960
one of them.

44
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: Eileen Wan was the mayor of Arcadie, California, a Chinese spy.

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Almost every single news report of this, and there are many,

46
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:35,520
Almost every single one of the published news reports that

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:42,520
I have read failed to mention one thing. What political

48
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:51,599
party is she affiliated with? The admitted Chinese spy. Would

49
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:58,639
you like to take a guess? You wouldn't mm hmm, okay,

50
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,520
would you like to take a guest? You don't think

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:08,879
it would be a guest? Yes, she's a Democrat now,

52
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,800
in all fairness, she was a Republican before she switched

53
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,439
over to the Democrats. Maybe her bosses said, well, join

54
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:20,080
the Republicans and they realized that no, no, no, you're

55
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,680
I don't know what happened. She's a Democrat the Chinese spy,

56
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,000
and if it were a Republican spy, it would have

57
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:33,840
been in the headlines of everyone, republican Chinese spy, Please

58
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,439
takes a deal instead nothing. It's pretty amazing, My friends.

59
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:43,439
Welcome to the Tuesday edition of Boston Early's Rush, our

60
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,280
fastest hour in American media. I've got tons of we

61
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,439
always do interesting audio clips to play for you, including

62
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:59,639
what will be our clip of the day. But I

63
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,319
don't want to start with the clips. I read a

64
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,479
story yesterday said if we can had time, we'd get

65
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,479
to it. Couldn't get to it. I am determined that

66
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,319
we will do this story today, so we'll do it

67
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:18,439
right now. It was a story from Fox, and it

68
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,839
caught my attention, because this is a theme that first

69
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:26,079
came to my attention many years ago when rush Limbaugh

70
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:32,879
actually spent probably an hour discussing it in all of

71
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,560
its implications and ramifications, and in fact, it was so

72
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,800
profound that he devoted considerable space on his website to

73
00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:47,720
point to the actual data of the story that he

74
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,399
did then and the research that he had done. It

75
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,680
was the wealthy and what percentage of taxes they actually paid.

76
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:08,800
The headline from Fox is this six different ways that

77
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:13,879
prove the wealthy pay a lot more than their fair share.

78
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:20,560
Politicians demand more from the wealthy, but never define what

79
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:27,399
enough looks like in real dollars or percentages. Is the

80
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:34,720
sub head. If you listen to politicians like Vermont Independent

81
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,439
Senator He's a Democrat, communist socialist Bernie Sanders, and New

82
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:48,560
York Democrat Representative Alexandria Casocotes, there is a constant drumbeat

83
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:53,720
when they're not endorsing billionaires like they are in California.

84
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:58,000
I inserted that in the rich don't pay their fair share,

85
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:06,000
we don't need oligar. These are powerful sound bites. They

86
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:12,839
are also among the most intellectually lazy phrases in modern economics.

87
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,759
Because here's the real question. No one answers, what exactly

88
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,000
is fair. Let's start with the facts, which many people

89
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,439
don't like to discuss, and not feelings. Let's leave the

90
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,199
emotions out of this, and says Fox, and let's deal

91
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,120
with the facts. Nothing but the faction, not the fox.

92
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,920
According to the data, according to data from the Internal

93
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:47,160
Revenue Service and the Tax Foundation, the top one percent,

94
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,319
the wealthiest among us, the top one percent, pay roughly

95
00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:05,879
forty percent of all federal income taxes. One percent of

96
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:16,079
the people pay forty percent of all the federal income taxes.

97
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,480
When you look at the top ten percent of owners

98
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:30,199
of Americans, the top ten percent of earners, it is

99
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:38,720
close to seventy percent seventy percent of all federal taxes.

100
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:45,160
Almost seventy percent of it is paid by ten percent

101
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,000
of the people in this country, the top ten percent.

102
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:52,519
If you're in the top ten percent tax bracket, you

103
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,360
are among the group of people that are paying almost

104
00:07:56,399 --> 00:08:01,199
seventy percent of all taxes that fly in to the

105
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:15,639
federal government. Meanwhile, nearly half half, nearly half of Americans

106
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:24,240
pay no taxes at all. Half the country's not paying

107
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:36,639
any taxes, little to none. Half the country pays almost nothing. Meanwhile,

108
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,240
the top ten percent of paying seventy percent of all

109
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,720
of the federal taxes. So this is what Fox says

110
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,320
about it when someone sells. When someone says the wealthy

111
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,039
don't pay enough, what they're really saying is it's fair

112
00:08:55,879 --> 00:09:00,360
that lots of people pay zero, and they want the

113
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,440
rich to pay even more than their fair share. They

114
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,559
want the rich to pay even more than that share.

115
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,480
They want more from the people that are already paying

116
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:15,559
the most, while lots of people, almost half this country

117
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,759
pays nothing in taxes. So then the article goes on

118
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:23,639
to say, let's talk about what rich actually paying taxes.

119
00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:29,120
They pay They pay the federal income tax. So how

120
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,960
much is the quote unquote marginal rate? What's their rate?

121
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:38,720
If you are in the rich, you're paying thirty seven

122
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,360
percent of your income. Thirty seven percent of your income

123
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:54,120
is going into taxes divided up by a dollar one

124
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,720
hundred ones. If you're in the rich, before you get

125
00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:03,600
to the other taxes, just because you're rich, they're gonna say, okay,

126
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,559
gimme thirty seven of that hundred bucks and just keep

127
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:10,360
mote doing the math. Thirty per seven percent of that

128
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,799
you got one hundred bucks. The government's gonna take thirty

129
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,639
seven dollars off the top just because you're rich. Then

130
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:25,360
you pay state income taxes. So if you are rich

131
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,399
and you're in states like California in New York, you

132
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,639
can put another ten to fourteen percent on top of that.

133
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,799
So let's for the sake, make it easy, call it

134
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:42,000
another ten percent. You're rich. By the time you just

135
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,639
pay your federal and state taxes, you're up to forty

136
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,679
seven from either forty seven to fifty one percent of

137
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,639
your income, half of your income half. Look, if you

138
00:10:55,799 --> 00:11:01,679
get a divorce from your spouse, your spouse tells you

139
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,159
what I want half. I want half. We've only been

140
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:09,840
married six months. I can't stand you. But you're gonna

141
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:12,559
give me half, and you're gonna give me half in

142
00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:17,879
perpetuity until you find some way to get out of it.

143
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,399
I want half. That is what the government is telling

144
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,919
the wealthy, just state and federal government. Now let's say

145
00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:35,159
you own property. If you earn property, congratulations, you write

146
00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:38,559
a check every year to keep it. If you're in

147
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:43,799
states like New Jersey, Tejas, New York, you can easily

148
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:47,639
pay another ten g's to thirty g's just for a

149
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,039
higher value home. And guess what you keep paying that

150
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,320
year after year after year after By the time you

151
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:56,679
get through paying let's say you're in a home twenty

152
00:11:56,759 --> 00:12:04,159
years and you're paying thirty gees, what is that you're

153
00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:07,279
paying almost six hundred g's and just property taxes if

154
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:11,720
you will, if you hit that bracket, and some places

155
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:13,960
in New York thirty g's, they wish they could pay

156
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,039
thirty g's. They were paying that twenty years ago. Then

157
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,080
you get hit with sales tax. You go out and

158
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:27,799
buy something, then you're gonna get sales tax. There are

159
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,759
places now Tennessee Washington, for instance, where sales tax is

160
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:38,519
ten percent. So then on the money that you've already kept,

161
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:42,240
you're gonna pay another ten percent of that money when

162
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:48,559
you buy stuff. Now, if you're rich and you're already

163
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,000
paying half, then you go out and buy stuff and

164
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:56,519
stimulate the economy, and that pushes you up. If you're

165
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,279
paying tax on that to sixty percent of the dollars,

166
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:06,519
well over half of those dollars that you've earned are

167
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:18,120
paid out in taxes. Then capital gains tax, capital gains tax,

168
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,679
the states are coming after you with that. And then

169
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:31,120
you add on to that estate taxes. So you live

170
00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:33,519
all your you save your money before you can even

171
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,279
hand it off to you the next generation. Here come

172
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,960
these greedy politicians again with their hands in your pockets

173
00:13:40,159 --> 00:13:43,639
and they take on after you're dead, they're still taking

174
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,919
from you. And yeah, but you and not even talking

175
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:51,960
about the other specialized serve taxes along the way, the

176
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,960
gas tax that like what they're doing in Virginia where

177
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,399
they want to add fifty new taxes to people, including

178
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,240
a tax to go to the gym, attax to get

179
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,200
an Uber delivery, I mean uberdrive at tax if you

180
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,960
get something delivered to your house from Amazon. They want

181
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,039
to put a tax on that.

182
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:15,440

185
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: So with all that tax money that's collected, what happens

186
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:33,960
to it? Well, I know what we should do. Let's

187
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,559
take a visit, shehry. Let go out to Minnesota and

188
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,840
then let's stop in Columbus, Ohio.

189
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,399
Speaker 8: First, Minnesota charges announced tonight's after more than a million

190
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,600
dollars in snap benefits for stolen in Minnesota, and according

191
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:55,120
to those charges. Sixty year old added Waheed Muhammad used

192
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,200
other people's EBT cards to buy products from Walmart, Sam's Club,

193
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,519
and Costco and then sold those items at his own

194
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,759
grocery store called Minnesota Food Grocery. From March to August

195
00:15:06,799 --> 00:15:09,600
of twenty twenty one, he purchased one point one million

196
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:13,720
dollars this is in products through various EDT cards, and

197
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,120
an investigation found he promised payment and even free groceries

198
00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:21,399
from his store for people who gave him those cards.

199
00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:25,519
Speaker 9: Five months down to a fraud scheme that could potentially

200
00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:30,399
cost taxpairs in Ohio hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet,

201
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,360
a recent audit revealing major red flags in that state's

202
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,039
medicaid program. Mike Tobin following all of it, Mike joins

203
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,399
us now from a Midwest eurea.

204
00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:39,519
Speaker 1: Mike, what's you find out?

205
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:39,799
Speaker 8: Hello?

206
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 10: No?

207
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 11: Overall bill Ohio gets billions of dollars from the Fed

208
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:45,960
for its Medicaid program. The state's auditor has found some

209
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,000
very suspicious ways the home health care money is being distributed.

210
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,240
During a recent state audit, investigators found forty percent of

211
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:57,159
the money spent went to just one county. That's Franklin County,

212
00:15:57,159 --> 00:15:59,799
where Columbus is, and almost forty percent of that money

213
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,080
went to just two zip codes. The addresses are all

214
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:04,559
within four miles of each other.

215
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: The state auditor says.

216
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,759
Speaker 11: Overall, they found what they call an error rate of

217
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,679
almost sixteen percent. Now, error rate is just a bureaucratic

218
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:14,480
way to say money sent to people for whom it

219
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:15,600
was not intended.

220
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:18,679
Speaker 9: Now, some of them were dead people that were still

221
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,960
on the rolls, some of them were other type of errors.

222
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:29,360
But is sixteen fifteen point six percent something that's significant, Well,

223
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,960
in a program as large as Medicaid, you bet your

224
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:32,600
boots it is.

225
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 11: In fact, the Ohio auditor says, that could potentially equal

226
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,559
anywhere from eight hundred million dollars to four billion dollars.

227
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:45,919
Speaker 1: Overall, four billion dollars, it could go up to. That's

228
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:49,639
where your tax money's going, Folks. The fraudsters.

229
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,480

232
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: The audio bites the folks's fraud is everywhere. You're talking

233
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,640
almost four billion, maybe just in Ohio. A lot of

234
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,920
it's entering in money that's flowing through Columbus, Ohio HU

235
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,839
and then of course more fraud. Every day, there's more

236
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,160
fraud being uncovered in Minnesota. It's astounding. I want to

237
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:41,559
go very quickly to Javier Bassera. You know, I've been

238
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,279
pronouncing this guy's name more. I see an X at

239
00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:46,480
the beginning of a name, and for years I've never

240
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:49,119
known how to pronounce it, or even when I do

241
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:52,680
know when it's Javier, I keep calling him Xavier because

242
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:59,599
that's x a veer Xavier, but it's Javier Ollier. I

243
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:06,359
like it Xavier anyway, what a cooling x Xavier? Anyway.

244
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:10,480
He was on an interview with k t LA and

245
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:13,240
I just want you to hear the way the interview began.

246
00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:16,519
Cut ten. This is how they say the interview is

247
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:19,640
sitting across from him before it even gets going. This

248
00:18:24,279 --> 00:18:24,920
we do we have it?

249
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,519
Speaker 2: Do we have it?

250
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,559
Speaker 1: Cut ten? Exavia, basta? Here we hold on. I'm sorry, Javier.

251
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:31,680
Here here we go.

252
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,559
Speaker 7: This is the start of our interview with Javier Bassetta

253
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,400
in Highland Park.

254
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: By the way, this is a profile piece. This is

255
00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:39,160
not a gotcha piece.

256
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,839
Speaker 6: Right, Well, look, I think we're these questions are fair.

257
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:44,799
Speaker 2: It's in order to learn about you as a candidate.

258
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: So long it's about the profile.

259
00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:48,319
Speaker 8: I don't know how you define profile, but I'd like

260
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,640
to begin the interview.

261
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 12: The way I described profile is you talk about all

262
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,799
the things that I've done, things I want to do,

263
00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:58,440
and along with some tough questions, but not only tough questions.

264
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,039
Speaker 1: Before the interviews thought she's like, this is this is

265
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,480
this is a profile. Right, this isn't gotcha. You're not

266
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:12,359
gonna gotcha me. It's just amazing. So as the interview proceeded,

267
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,319
let's look to this cut eleven from Javier Buzzetta.

268
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 7: Every time is anxious a secretary.

269
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 5: A New York Times investigation found the Health Department couldn't

270
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,559
find some eighty five thousand children it had released.

271
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: That's not accurate. What you just read is not accurate.

272
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 12: First, that's what I'll say, because it was never the

273
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:36,319
case that we could not find kids. You're essentially I

274
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,680
don't know if you've got those talking points from Donald Trump.

275
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 6: It's from a New York Times artifact.

276
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: That's not what the New York Times said.

277
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,039
Speaker 12: The New York Times said that individuals of the children

278
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,799
and their sponsors did not respond to calls they didn't

279
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:49,880
say we couldn't find.

280
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:55,599
Speaker 8: Kids working overnight in slaughterhouses, replacing roofs, operating machineries and factories,

281
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,279
children as young as fourteen years old.

282
00:19:58,559 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 12: That part occurred after these children had left the care

283
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:04,000
of the partmenty Healthy and the Services.

284
00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:07,319
Speaker 6: Do you let these children go into those individual sponsors?

285
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 12: In their sponsor, some of these kids, probably because they

286
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,519
needed to earn some money, started working places that were

287
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,279
very exploited.

288
00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:21,279
Speaker 1: He's justifying child labor with these are old kids that

289
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,559
they let in under the Biden administration. He was helping

290
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,880
Human Services director and they lost these kids. And he

291
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,960
used to I don't know who's talking points? These are

292
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,240
you got Donald Trump? Tummant, No, sir, it's from the

293
00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:39,519
New York Times. God's wrong. It's not wrong. This is amazing.

294
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:42,440
He didn't like to gotcha questions. I mean, I don't

295
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,960
know whether you've heard about this. Remember those cuts we

296
00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:48,880
played from Spencer from Spencer Pratt the other day with

297
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:54,720
the LA debate, the LA Mayor's debate. Yeah, well, guess

298
00:20:54,839 --> 00:21:02,440
what they were supposed to have another debate tomorrow. Guess

299
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,720
what happened Wednesday's debate among candidates for mayor of Los

300
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:14,359
Angeles was canceled after the front runners decided against speaking.

301
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:17,319
The announcement from the League of Women Voters was set

302
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,680
to host the form. Came the news that Los Angeles

303
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:27,480
Mayor Karen Bass opted out of the debate, and then

304
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,279
also what's your name dropped out of the debate the

305
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:41,559
other Democrat there, so no debate. Pratt with their Well

306
00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:44,119
they're women, you're not supposed to say that, but he

307
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:50,359
bested them. I'll put it like that. He vested them embarrassingly.

308
00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:56,160
All Right, we have more on the you know what,

309
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:02,200
the elections and black people, and the elections and black people.

310
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,279
Let's dip into the well, yeah, this is getting tiring

311
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,319
every day. It's like we gotta go down this racial

312
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:16,880
rabbit hole every single day. But let's start with the Democrats.

313
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,920
Let's see where we start. Okay, let's start with cut two.

314
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:27,240
Uh Troy Carter, Democrat representative from somewhere. He just quick here,

315
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,680
So we can't we can together.

316
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,039
Speaker 5: And we gotta pike together, and we've got to demonstrate

317
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,000
that we're not going.

318
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,599
Speaker 1: To get angry, We're not going back. That's there, you go. There,

319
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,519
no second coming of Jim Crow.

320
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 10: That's what there will be no second coming of reconstruction.

321
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:51,079
Speaker 1: There will be no second coming of taking away the

322
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,000
rights that we fought for, that we died for.

323
00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:02,319
Speaker 12: But that only happens when we are informed, mobilized, and

324
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:02,960
we vote.

325
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:08,759
Speaker 10: There will be no second coming of Jim Crow. There

326
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:14,880
will be no second coming of reconstruction. You know why,

327
00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:20,359
because there will be no second coming of Democrats. The

328
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:23,440
game of Jim Crow and the.

329
00:23:23,599 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: Game of reconstruction, there will be no second coming of

330
00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:34,079
Jim Crow. Jim Crow two point zero will not happen.

331
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:40,400
Let's go to CNN the Abbey panel cut three. It's abby,

332
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:40,880
what do you.

333
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: Just think I have to wrestle with the carrier going

334
00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:49,720
to be the first generation to actually leave this country

335
00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:52,039
worse than the one that we inherited. And I think

336
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,519
for Black millennials, the progress that our parents and grandparents

337
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,359
gave us that we're watching being ripped away from us,

338
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,359
things that our generation is going to have to really

339
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,400
wrestle with. There's a price that was paid for this right.

340
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,400
There is a price that we uphold and whether or

341
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,359
not you value that where whether or not you value

342
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,920
that or not, there are people is wet and died

343
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,599
and were imprisoned for access to the ballot box. And

344
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,160
what we're seeing through what we're seeing throughout the South,

345
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,000
is that their voice, their vote, their representation, and people

346
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,359
who have lived experiences to represent them are not being

347
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,359
sent to Congress or where they need to go.

348
00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 9: This debate, by the way, is happening among the justices.

349
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: If you look at the Louisiana decision, the Conservatives are saying,

350
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,519
we've made time to let go of this of using

351
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:45,119
racial discripined. That's why, and that's why I utilize the

352
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,640
description of the different justice to say.

353
00:24:47,559 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 9: Exactly what you just said a party, which is there's

354
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:52,799
a history here that we're overlooking. Ellie, I mean the three.

355
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,519
Speaker 1: Years and let's stop right here because I got another

356
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:56,599
one to play. Is taken too long. This is the

357
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,960
next one. This is when he gets into it with

358
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,839
Kevin O'Leary. See and then cut four. This is BARACKI

359
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,440
sellers going at it with Kevin o'ldary, the same stuff.

360
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,039
Speaker 3: Everybody should take confidence in the fact Supreme Court basically

361
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,720
supported one vote.

362
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: One person, guarantee amen in perpetuity and the rest is

363
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,200
just map wars. And I think we should get.

364
00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 5: Used to it, and I think it's as you said,

365
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,039
a state based situation.

366
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: Add this to the mix.

367
00:25:24,599 --> 00:25:27,839
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, the state decides at

368
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,599
the state level.

369
00:25:28,759 --> 00:25:32,319
Speaker 1: It's in the constitution. Get over it. So the problem,

370
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,640
the problem with the problem with.

371
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: That sentiment is that you were born in nineteen fifty four. Yeah, okay,

372
00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:44,240
you're seventy one, Yeah, in nineteen fifty vampire. During your lifetime,

373
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,480
we've actually had brown v. Board of Education. I remember, yeah,

374
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:49,079
Brown V. Board of Education. I don't know how you

375
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:49,480
remember it.

376
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: I think you were like two months old.

377
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: But I'm not finishing.

378
00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: Let me finishing real back to yeah, you're still.

379
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: Alive, right, there's an entire generation of people Brownie board

380
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:02,839
it overturned Plessy V.

381
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: Ferguson.

382
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: My point is that my mother was born in nineteen

383
00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:11,319
fifty one. She desegregated schools. My father was shot in

384
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,200
the Civil rights movement. Those people, I'm going to finish

385
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,799
because you're being utterly disrespectful. So I'm going to finish

386
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,799
this comment. So what I'm telling you is that there

387
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:21,680
are people in this country who fought, died, and bled

388
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:22,960
for the right to vote.

389
00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:24,039
Speaker 1: Don't be a dick.

390
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 13: Just understand just under second on a second, because.

391
00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: Because we're not supposed to use the word dick on

392
00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:39,960
this show.

393
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: I want you to understand there there's a price that

394
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,519
was paid for this right. There is a price that

395
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,640
we uphold.

396
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,839
Speaker 1: And stop stop, stop stop. I have a lot of

397
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,200
sympathy for what Bakari saying. Number one, Okay, I get that,

398
00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:56,240
and I don't want you to think I'm making fun

399
00:26:56,279 --> 00:27:01,279
of Bakari sellers on this point, because like sellers like

400
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,960
Bacari sellers, I anybody born in this era and that

401
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,000
had parents that grew up in the Democrat Party South

402
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:12,200
knows what it means when you say people died and

403
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,759
people bled and people were treated horribly so that black

404
00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:19,559
people could vote. And I get that, and I get,

405
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,799
by the way, and I also get his passion over it.

406
00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:27,279
What I don't understand is his perspective now over it,

407
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,200
and that's what I take issue with. But I understand

408
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,079
where Bacari. I understand why he's so heated. But I

409
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,920
also get what Kevin's point is, which is where most

410
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,640
most people are with this stuff. Look, the nineteen sixties

411
00:27:39,799 --> 00:27:45,279
are over all red. D stop it. We're not in

412
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:50,759
the nineteen sixties already, stop it. What Debbie I'm repeating

413
00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:55,039
what Debbie duhanm just texted me. Ladies and gentlemen, she's

414
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,559
James your language. It wasn't my language. I'm not the

415
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:01,519
guy that called the guy a day. It was the

416
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,400
black guy that did it at CNN, not the black

417
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,799
guy here to call the guy a dick. He said,

418
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,240
stop being a dick to the white guy. And I

419
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:16,079
thought that that was a little over the top. Total

420
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,359
guy stopped being a dick on The Abbey Show. We

421
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,160
gotta take a break, by the way, because if we don't,

422
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,079
we won't get to the clip of the day. So

423
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,680
I mean, it wasn't me, Debbie, it wasn't me that

424
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:31,200
said it.

425

Speaker 5: The James Golden Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

426

Apple Podcast Network.

428
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:51,799
Speaker 1: Su Lighties and gentlemen, it is time for our clip

429
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,680
of the day. For the second day in a row,

430
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,119
we shall reach out to social media and experienced our

431
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,920
clip of the day from a young woman of African

432
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:08,880
American descent. This woman, ladies and gentlemen, is our clip

433
00:29:09,559 --> 00:29:10,559
of the day.

434
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 14: Surprise, surprise, the left is pulling the race card script again.

435
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,559
Black representation racism, white supremacy. It's the same playbook every time,

436
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,480
and they only pull it out when their power is

437
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:24,400
on the line. This past week really proved my point.

438
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,759
Last week, Tennessee read drew the ninth congressional district in Memphis,

439
00:29:27,839 --> 00:29:30,599
currently held by Steve Cohen, a seventy six year old

440
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,319
white Democrat, been there since two thousand and seven. Democrats

441
00:29:34,519 --> 00:29:38,599
lost their minds Jim Crow, white supremacy, the NAACP files

442
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:41,000
an emergency lawsuit, and then the truth comes out. The

443
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:44,680
Republican most likely to win that seat is Charlotte Bergman,

444
00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:49,599
a black Republican woman from Memphis, single mom who overcame homelessness,

445
00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:52,759
built her own business, lost her grandson to gang violence.

446
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,960
She has run against Steve Cohen six times. Six Democrats

447
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,880
spent twenty years keeping a white man in that maj

448
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:04,440
already black district, and CNN's response, it actually is racist.

449
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,359
A black woman replacing a white man in Congress is

450
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,759
racist and this is not new. Six months ago, Virginia

451
00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:15,240
governor Race Win some earls years marine veteran would have

452
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,279
been Virginia's first black female governor, running as a Republican

453
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:21,559
against Abigail Spanberger, a white woman who shows up to

454
00:30:21,599 --> 00:30:25,240
campaign against the black woman. Barack Obama cuts two ads

455
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:28,720
for Spanberger, flies to Norfolk and headlines a rally in

456
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,079
front of seven thousand people in a black community. This

457
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,319
same Barack Obama who one year earlier lectured black men

458
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,920
in Pittsburgh and told them that they had a mora

459
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,200
whole duty to vote for Kamala Harris because she was

460
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,319
a black woman. One year later, he's begging black voters

461
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:45,680
to reject the black woman because she's a Republican. Let

462
00:30:45,759 --> 00:30:49,039
me say this plainly. They don't care about black representation.

463
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,200
They never did. They just needed us to vote Democrat.

464
00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:53,039
Speaker 9: Is that was.

465
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,039
Speaker 14: Lbj's whole plan. He bragged he'd have us locked in

466
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,880
for two hundred years. That's why Charlotte Bergman doesn't count.

467
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,799
That's why win some Earl's doesn't count. That's why I

468
00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:05,400
don't count. Because we are proof proof that Black Americans

469
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,680
can think, vote and lead. However, we choose proof that

470
00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:11,279
the whole thing falls apart the second we walk away,

471
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,920
and they need you to ignore us. So hear me, clearly,

472
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:18,240
they don't care about black representation. They don't care about

473
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,119
black people, they care about our vote. They care about

474
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,119
our allegiance. They care about power.

475
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 3: That is it.

476
00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 14: That is all it has ever been, So stop letting

477
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:27,279
them use you.

478
