Speaker 3: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative on
the Red Apple podcast Network. Attention, gettoheads, Attention bow Scouts
by the pseudonym motion Nerdly It's time for the Soul
of excellence.
Speaker 1: Is radio host here in New York.
Speaker 3: The Rush Hour is on the air, Rush Rush Now
here's James Golden.
Speaker 4: But this is not about me.
Speaker 5: This is about all of us and about the justice
system which has been weaponized, a justice system.
Speaker 6: Which has been been.
Speaker 5: Used as a tool of revenge. This justice system which
has been.
Speaker 7: Used as a tool.
Speaker 5: Of revenge and a weapon against those individuals who simply
did their job and who stood up for the rule
of law.
Speaker 8: When when when welcome my friends to thee I can't
believe it's Friday already. Addition to both early rush hour
fast as our in American media that, of course, New
York's Attorney General, Letisia James, herself in the Dorcket today,
is a defendant on charges that she falsified documents pertaining
to her mortgages. New York Times, of course, has a
view of that Letitia James case shows ruthlessness, ruthlessness of
Justice department in Trump's grip yell right. The New York
Times says the indictment of New York's Attorney General Letitia
James is merely one part of a multi pronged, multi
pronged campaign that is helping to define retribution and President
Trump's second term. She They complain that in recent days
Trump aligned media outlets have run scathing headlines about her
relatives criminal records. They never say, of course, that it's
untrue anything, which is a really interesting sentence for The
New York Times. In recent days, Trump aligned media outlets
have run scathing headlines about her relatives criminal records, amplifying
the specter of wrongdoing created by the Justice Department on Friday.
Miss James, who had said the chargers have the will
appear in of Virginia court she did already came out
whining this idea. Let's just take one that one pair
of apart for a minute. Right wing supposedly or Trump
aligned as they call it, media outlets ran scathing headlines
about her relatives criminal records. What are the facts. The
facts are that Leticia James has family members, some of
whom were living in these properties that had criminal records.
And all other outlets did was reported who ignored it?
Outlets liked The New York Times supposedly where you get
all the news, it's fit to print. That used to
be their old slogan. But that's news. They ignored it,
and yet they're complaining, and they're saying here that this
is all about mister Trump's crusade against those who believed
wrong him. May once have been interpreted as a tit
for tat effort to go after his enemies, but it's
becoming lear that creating the trappings of criminality, the headlines,
the scrutiny, the reputational damage, is as much a part
of the formula as any realistic chance of conviction, and
they're complaining that this shows the power and utelli utility
of a justice department in the grip of eventual president. Well,
let's just deal with that for a minute. The New
York Times may have forgotten because their journalists don't seem
to be Whoever writes this stuff doesn't seem to have
a political memory beyond a few seconds. Letiza James went
after Donald Trump's businesses, she went after his family members,
She dragged all of them into court. She tried to
wrap the entire Trump name, the entire Trump enterprise in criminality,
and there were no complaints from the New York Times,
their writers, their reporters, they're so called journalists when she
did that. Now, Letitia James, some of her members have
criminal records and are engaged have been engaged in criminality,
even they're not denying it. They are criminal records there.
But yet they complain that somehow this is a multi
probmed campaign because it is being reported that not only
has Letitia James potentially committed criminal behavior, but members of
her family have and they're outraged. This makes zero sense. Now,
something else happened at that trial today, Then we're going
to move off Latitia because we've got other stuff to
cover here. Who move off Letitia? That would imply that
we've moved on Letitia, and I don't want to make
that ill. That's not anyway. Lisa Rubin on PMS NBC
had this report after today's proceeding that would be cut
three mm hmm.
Speaker 9: The most important thing that I heard from Valon Gallagher,
based on her being inside the courtroom, is that this judge,
Jamal Walker, has decided that he is going to grant
a request by James's attorneys to have her motion essentially
to disqualify Lindsay Halligan on the ground that she was
not lawfully appointed, consolidated with that of Jim Coney, who
also brought a similar motion. And what is particularly striking
is that the judges in each of their cases are
not going to hear those motions. They're going to be
referred to a federal appeals court, and specifically to the
Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit of the US Court
of Appeals for assignment to someone outside the Eastern District
of Virginia. And that's because the Eastern District of Virginia
judges not only see people from the US attorney's office
day in and day out, and the criminal and civil
dakas that they handle. But also because the statutes at
play have a role for the district judges to play
when there is a vacancy, and someone, let.
Speaker 8: Me just break all this gobblygook down. The judge of
the case is allowing a motion to go forward. She's
gonna join two motions together. James Komy's trying to say, oh,
this prosecutor wasn't the one legally supposed to do it.
Latisia James trying to say the same thing. So this
judge today is going to allow both Kombi and Leticia
to argue the same thing, the same argument that the
prosecutor shouldn't have brought this indictment, This prosecutor wasn't authorized
to be the legal prosecutor, and they're gonna send it
over to another federal court. That's what the skinny of
all that is, all right, Moving on from Letitia, the
race in New York continues to draw attention. Hakeen Jeffries
was on c NBC to the squawk Box, and he
was ducking and dodging cut six questions on whether he
would endorse Mandanmi. That was earlier.
Speaker 10: So what else has passed U after November one?
Speaker 8: The election for mayor in New York?
Speaker 1: Come on, are you ready?
Speaker 2: Are you ready to endorse Mamdani yet?
Speaker 11: Leader Jeffrey, As I've repeatedly said, Joe, I have more
to say about the Mayn's race. When I have more
to say about the mays race, Today's the.
Speaker 1: Day for more.
Speaker 12: Today is this is part of the future you were
talking about last time you were on. This could be
the future that you were talking about when you could
do it.
Speaker 8: No, well let me say that.
Speaker 11: Listen, I'm going to continue to lean into the principal
as Democrats affordability and a strong floor and no cities.
Speaker 8: Yeah enough, Okay, So after all at him dodging the
question late this afternoon, how came Jeffrey's let it be known. Yeah,
he's just this little tepid last minute endorsement. Oh yeah,
I'm for I'm for mom Donnie. Why are you taking
all this time? I'm for mon Donnie because what?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 8: Okay? Because because meanwhile the current mayor people might forget
that New York already has a mayor. Yeah, I mean
the guy he's almost forgotten. He wasn't for two weeks.
He's been in Albania for two weeks, doesn't didn't. Did
he ever announce what that lucrative job is that he's
got lined up? Yeah, he said he's got some kind
of big job lined up, opportunity of a lifetime and
all that. But anyway, Eric Adams out endorsing too, out
endorsing the guy that he called a snake in the liar.
We've covered that, but he explained today seven why why
when he's endorsing the snake and liar as he called him,
Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 13: We're not going backwards, folks. And so this was a ruling,
ruling time. And yes, am I angry that I'm not
the one taking down n the socialists and the communists
the dawn, right I am? But you know what the
city means more to me than anything, and it is
time for us as a family to come together. New
York can't be Europe, folks. I don't know what is
wrong with people. You see this plan out in other
countries because of Islamic.
Speaker 8: Extremism, not Muslims.
Speaker 13: Let's not mix this up in those Islamic extremisms that
are learning churches in Nigeria, that are destroying communities in
Germany that have taken over the logical thinkings.
Speaker 8: And that's what I'm fighting for.
Speaker 13: I'm fighting for the family of New York. That's why
I'm here today to endorse Andrew Formo to be part
of this fight.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 13: I'm going to give him a all these next few
days to make sure that black and brown community specifically
who have believed there's nothing at stake in this election.
Speaker 8: For them, it is. Let me see if I understand this.
M Eric Adams is saying that he does not want
mom Dommies, the socialist Communists, as he put it, to
be mayor because don't you people see what's going on
in Europe and we can't be Europe. We can't have
radical Islam taking over New York, is what he's saying here. Well,
let's see how that plays in the mainstream press. Talk
of radical Islam. The behavior is coming up. Also on CNN,
Scott Jennings was on the Abby panel. Folks, this this
next will speak for itself. That would be cut nine,
cut eight to Carlos. Scott Jennings on with the Abbey
people on c It is true.
Speaker 10: That Mam Donnie was taking a picture with an unindicted
co conspirator from the World Trade Center bombing the other
day and called him a pillar of the community. Cuomo
didn't make him take the picture. Mamdani took that picture
and seems to be pretty proud of it. That's a
legitimate thing to debate, But I think in this case
of the radio show, the core issue was Mam Donni
literally has no experience, and if you had a nine
to eleven scale event, would you want somebody who can't
prove that they can do anything in the chair?
Speaker 4: Legit is the question saying that he would cheer on
nine to eleven.
Speaker 10: He's taking pictures with unindicted co conspirators from the World
Trade Center.
Speaker 4: But I mean, are you willing to say that you
really think that he would cheer on nine to eleven.
Speaker 10: He's taking pictures with unindicted co conspirit.
Speaker 4: I mean, hey, look, it was a radio But I'm
asking Scott because Scott seems to think that's like a
totally above board line of attack. Do you think that
that's true.
Speaker 10: I can only tell you what I see on my phone.
I see a picture of Mom Donnie with a guy
who was an unindicted co conspirator from a terrorist attack
in New York City. Yeah, I mean, you think that
was a good picture.
Speaker 4: He is an unindicted co conspirator in that case, but
it's just worth noting for context. In two thousand and nine,
Bloomberg met with that same mom the last mayor who
just endorsed Eric Adams awarded him apparently an award fairly recently. So,
I mean, your criticism is taken, but I also think
that's a different point from saying somebody would cheer on
a terror attack that killed this.
Speaker 8: A minute, so according to Abby, wait a minute, Yeah,
he's taking pictures with a guy there was an unindicted
co conspirator in the nine to eleven terrorist attacks, and
he's supported proud and Averag's point is, but Scott, but Scott,
Mayor Bloomberg was friendly with the guy to Mayor Bloomberg,
and the guy's gotten an award. So I mean, I guess,
never mind all that business about him being chummy with
an unindicted co conspirator of the attack of the World
Trade Center, Scott, what does that matter? Scott Bloomberg chummed
up with him too, and and besides them, he's gotten
an award, so why are you complaining? Scott Huh Politics,

Speaker 3: James Golden, known popularly as bost nerdly, this.
Speaker 1: Is the Rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 10: Rush.
Speaker 8: You know, Carlos is just all over me. He's just like, yeah,
you have about a minute. He kept giving me the
break single. I kept running my mouth, and so now
he's just like digging the knife in. You did this,
and then people are triggering me. I get a quote,
I get a post. The only thing I see on
my screen is New York Young Republicans Club, and it's
a poll about the New York Mills. My first reaction is,
why do I want to hear anything from the New
York Young Republicans Club? The people that call black people
like me monkeys some of those people and other obscene names,
the anti semitism that came out of there, the racism.
Why do I want to hear anything from that bunch?
I thought they would disband it anyway. And then I
read it's that they're citing a poll that shows that
if Croomo drops out, oh there's a chance for if
this nobody's dropping out. Who cares what these stupid polls
say say about things that are not real. They're not
dropping out. It is what it is. We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
Speaker 3: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative.
Speaker 7: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 3: James Golden, known popularly as most Nervely.
Speaker 1: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 6: Take Away child Support, food stamps, section eight and Medicaid.
I'll bet some women will be more cautious of who
they sleep with.
Speaker 8: What play that cut that you just played, Carlos, I
want to explore that for a second.
Speaker 6: Take Away, child Support, food stamps, section eight, Medicaid. I'll
bet some women will be more cautious of who they
sleep with.
Speaker 8: Now that's interesting. I guess she's responding to all of
these things that we've been deluged with on social media
from women, a lot of them women of a certain culture,
that have been complaining threatening that they're gonna go in
and rob every single store they can if they don't
get their food stamps and they mentioned some of them.
I got five babies, and one I got seven babies,
another one I got, I got babies, and I got
blah blah, ten five children, seven children. And if I
don't get my food stamps, I'm gonna go in there
and steal everything I can. And I bet that's what
she's responding to. Play that one more time.
Speaker 6: Take away child support, food stamps, section eight and medicated.
I bet some women will be more cautious of who
they sleep with.
Speaker 8: Oh now, this woman says, if the government, if you
were the government programs that in a bowl behavior. Section eight,
which is we're gonna subsidize your living arrangements. We'll pay
for your apartment, we'll pay for your house, you and
your seven five, whatever number of babies. The government's paying
for that stuff, subsidize heavily subsidized housing. She's saying, if
you take that away, if you take away the EBT cards,
and some of these people are collecting thousands of dollars
a month, thousands in food stamp benefits, if you take
that away, if you take away the subsidized housing, she says,
you take away support. I don't know what support she started,
whether it's just the welfare chain or not. But I'm
assuming that's what it is, because most of the time
baby Daddy can't be tracked down for support. If you
take away that, if you take away Medicaid, then she says, equals.
The equal part of that equation would be that a
lot of women would be a lot more cautious about Hugh,
who they beed down with, presumably, and they wouldn't have
Perhaps she's saying, perhaps, unless I'm hearing it wrong, perhaps
she's saying, they wouldn't have so many children that require
government assistance. But isn't that do you think, Carls, let
me just ask you a question. Do you think that
this woman's being cruel with her analysis? Do you think
that that that's a cruel thing for her to say?
Now because kids cost a lot? Let's see, okay, then cruel.
Have y'all heard the Jasmine? You know what you know,
Jasmine crocket is it looks like with the Texas redistrict thing,
she's going to have to run in another district should
she choose to run, and therefore her chances of reelection
are not so great. So Jasmine Crockett yesterday floated the
idea that she Jasmine crocket would run for the United
States Senate seat that will be open in the twenty
twenty six elections. Right now, there are two Republicans running
for the primary. That would be the incumbent John Cornyan
rhino and the rhino most of the time, and Ken Paxton,
who's the state attorney general, who himself has quite a
few political enemies. Fair to say, but Jasmine right now
is contemplating throwing her hair in the Usually they say
throwing your hat, but in Jasmine's case, let's just call
it what it is. She's contemplating throwing her hair in
the ring. Now. Former Washington Post former c IN analyst
Chris Soliza has some words, some analysis of the prospect
that are good, good. Maybe a friend. We don't know
her personally, but she's a friend of the program because
we like playing her soundbites. Jasmine Crockett might run for
the US Senate to the US Senate seat.
Speaker 14: The problem is, it's very difficult for me to see
how Crockett would reach out to the middle, particularly in
a state like Texas where there just are not enough Democrats.
Even if you get all the Democrats to vote for you, you
don't win. So I think this would be a dream
scenario for Republicans because I think Ken Paxton has a
real chance at winning the primary against John Cornyn and
Wesley Hunt, and if he does, the best chance Republicans
have of keeping that seat is Jasmine Crockett is a
Democratic nominee. Right to me, there's no question that either
Colin all Read or James Tallerrico, or honestly maybe even
bed Or O'Rourke would be a stronger general election candidate
against Paxton or Cornyn or Hunt than Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 8: My guess here is she's.
Speaker 14: Sort of using her leverage in her notoriety to kind
of gin up this talk, maybe raise some money. I
don't think she'll ultimately do it, because I think she'll
look at the numbers and realize she probably can't win
and that she's probably better off running in a Democratic primary,
even if it's against another Democratic House incumbent in those
redrawn districts around Dallas. But the possibility will make Democrats
nationally nervous. I do not think that is the right nominee.
And what's worse for national Democrats, I think it's very
hard to stop Jasmine Crockett to winning the Democratic nomination
if she does run for the Senate.
Speaker 8: In that case, I say, oh, yes, she is. Not
only is she gonna throw her hair in the ring,
but she's gonna throw her eyelashes in the ring too.
So I hope she does. I hope Jasmine Crockett throws
her hair and her eyelashes in ring and decides that
she wants to damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead, Damn
those Republicans, full steam ahead. That redistricted me out of
being a lowly congress woman. I want to be the Senator.
I hope Jasmine Crockett runs. We should everybody should encourage
Jasmine Crockett to reach for the stars, reach for high
think bring you know. Bernie Sanders, by the way, has
said he's come out and said that AOC would be
a great presidential candidate for the Democrats. I support that too.
Can you imagine a twenty twenty six election with Jasmine
Crockett running for Senate with AOC. Maybe she should run
for Senate two as a precursor. She only has to
stay there two years, pull in Obama, and then run.
He said, she needs Thank you, mister Mike and so see, yes,
we ought to encourage all of this. Now we rarely
play basketball figures. In fact, this may be the first
because most of us didn't know. Oh this is gonna
sound terrible, but I'm gonna say it anyway, most of
us didn't know that most basketball players in the NBA
could speak in whole paragraphs that are intelligible. However, even
though he's not playing anymore, Shaq is intelligible. And Shaq
always has. Yeah, he's always been a We've always been
able to understood Shaquillo. In fact, you know, Shaquille o
neil did part of it. He did a rap thing
with Quincy Jump back in the day, just part of
a group they did Stomp over again, and Shaq was
part of that whole thing on Quincy's version of Stomp. Anyway,
Shaq has weighed in ladies and gumpmen on the scandal
involving the NBA and organize crime figures. And this is
what Shaquille O'Neill opines.
Speaker 15: They all know the letter of the law when it
comes to gambling in sports gambling. And I don't want
to sit up here like I'm some perfect guy like
I every now and then when I go to Vegas.
I'll play some crabs and I'll you know, I'll play
some roulette, but never gambled at anybody's house. Don't know
anything about pokers. I don't know but what they're talking
about when it comes to the to the Chauncey thing.
But I know, uh Chauncey. I know Damon very well.
Play with Damon's I don't want to sit up here,
but I'm ashamed that that those guys will put their
family and their careers in jeopardy like that. There's old
saying in the hood. All money ain't good money. So
if you're making nine million dollars and you're dealing a
certain things like how much how much more do you need?
Especially especially if you know you get caught, you can
do jail time, lose your career. You know, put put
you know, put put a bad image on yourself or
your family or on the NBA. I agree with you, Truck.
They they dropped the ball. You know, you know they
had dropped the ball, and like you never you never
want to have your name involved in that when you
know the letter and Earnie again, I know for a
fact every year they they cancel practice and say don't
do this, and don't do that and don't know that.
So all the guys have the information.
Speaker 8: So okay, folks, we have news illegal immigrants, gration, moving on,
and also we'll have more on the basketball scan and
we cot it. Uh, we have New York Commissioner just
we mark you on it too. But I want to
move one of some other things. I'm looking at the clock.
I don't want Carlos to chastise me again for poor
clock management. So we got Joy Reid whinding about the ballroom.
Does that? Does that sound enough interesting though? Should we
just bypass Joy? No? Carlos says no, Joy read okay,
we did. We got Joe Mansion talking about how the Democrats,
Joe Biden and his Democrats organized a retribution campaign against him.
I'm going to make an executive decision and hold that
till tomorrow because it's over two minutes and I want
people to hear every single word of that. I'll tell
you what we have one Pete Hegseth. You know, the
United States has sent one of our finest, finest naval
crafts into the Atlantic, headed down there toward Venezuela in
the Caribbean to intradict more of these drug narco drug terrorists.
And by the way, they blottled one out in the Pacific,
and now there was another strike I think either today
or yesterday in the Caribbean. He was Pete Heggksaths. He
was with the President. They were all sitting at a
big summit and Pete Heggsath talked about what is going
on with this war against the drug echo terrorists and
here's what he had to say.
Speaker 16: Generally, you don't see fishing in submarines either servant. So
this the US military, as I mentioned, nobody better in
the world at mapping networks, identifying who's connected to who
inside terrorist organizations. It's just the media is used to
hearing that when it pertains to Afghanistan and Iraq and
ISIS and al Qaeda. But if you reframe how you
understand the world in our own hemisphere, that's exactly what these.
Speaker 8: Foreign terrorist organizations are.
Speaker 16: And so we will track them, we will map them,
we will network them, and we will hunt them and
kill them because they're trying to and they are killing and.
Speaker 8: Poisoning the American people.
Speaker 16: And inside that we have all the license necessary, all
the authorities necessary to take these kinetic strikes, and we'll
continue to take them.
Speaker 8: That answers some questions coming from Senators such as Ran
Paul tim Taine and Adam Schiff about the legal authority
that is underpinning these strikes. Well, it didn't answer it.
They're saying they have it. I expect that battle to continue.
And also every time one of these strikes happens, the
mainstream prescoes bananas taking the side. And in fact, there's
a story today in neither either New York Times or
Washington Post about dead bodies washing up in Trinidad Tobago
and they're wondering if they're from the strikes, and it's oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The leftists do not like these strikes. You know, one
of the things political did and then we got to
go to a break real quick. You may know that
some anonymous donor has put up one hundred and thirty
million dollars to help the military get paid, despite the
fact that Democrats voted against paying members of our military
and other essential personnel. So Politico did a story on it.
DoD accepts anonymous one hundred and thirty million dollar donation
to partially cover troop pay and they haven't said a subheadline.
White House and military officials will not say who the
donor is or whether the gift has been properly vetted.
So here they are making some I guess veiled implication
that somehow or another one hundred and thirty million dollar
donation to help keep America's military men and women paid
could somehow be improper and they don't know whether it's
been vetted. You know what should have been the sub headline.
There should have been a two word sub headline, thank you,
or they could have even expanded it, thank you whoever
you are, which would have been a much more proper subheadline.
