the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 1: But everything in his country, all the natural resources.
Speaker 2: He even recorded a message to you in English recently
offering mediation.
Speaker 1: He has that he has offered everything. He's offered everything.
Speaker 4: You're right, you know why, because he doesn't want to
fire around with the United States.
Speaker 2: Thank everybody, Thank you, Thank you, everybody.
Speaker 1: Welcome my friends to the It's all Ready Friday Again
edition of both earlier Dress Hour with the fastest hour
in American media. That was Donald Trump, of course, in
the Oval Office. Today, Venezuela has mobilized troops and militias.
Even though you heard that, so one is for show Marduro.
Presidente Merduro says his country is ready for combat. Wall
Street Journal says yeah, even though it's military is underfunded,
ill trained, no match for American firepower. Venezuela moving troops
into position on the Caribbean coast, mobilizing. What President Dante
and Nicholas Maduro assures is a million strong militia, all propaganda.
There are no match for the United States. We know it,
which is why we're doing a big build up down there, folks.
Pentagon deployed elite special operations forces, including the very secretive
one hundred and sixtieth Army Special Operations Aviation Regiment called
the Knights Talkers, the Navy Seals Delta Force all down
in the Caribbean. Pentagon is also dispatched B fifty two
bombers Neila La according to flight data. That is where
Maduro's forces carried out drills last month, featuring jets, warships,
and amphibious vehicles. So it looks like we are ready.
There's reports out today. First I saw the breaking used
in the New York Toys and then quickly in other
places that we have captured some of the druggies, the
drug cartel guys that we blew up. Some survived, and
they are now in custody, which, according to the left,
means there are gonna be more issues because now you
know one of the legal one of the legal reasons. Yeah. Right.
And of course you have a boy partisan group of
senators who are moving already to vote to make sure
that we bar any ground strikes in Venezuela. Who are
some of those senators Well, Tim Kaine, Eyebrows of Virginia,
Adam Schiff, Shifty Shift of California, Kate and Ran Paul
of Kentucky. Those are the bipartisan Ran Paul And you know,
I like Rand Paul on a lot of things. On this,
He's just a thawing in the side of the president
when it comes to this. And I'm not saying by
the that he's wrong. I don't know enough about why
Senator Paul objects to it, except he's saying these things
like the strike is outside the law, although the President
has declared these terrorism. But it's like Rand Paul, just
I don't know people that don't understand that Venezuela and
these drug cartels have been at war with the United States,
and it's okay for us to I think most people
in America's view is we it's about time somebody is
doing something about this, and it's Donald Trump, And I
think a lot of people don't understand why rand Paul
is so has is objecting to it so heavily. Yeah,
last night the big Marril debate in New about Euroka,
Carlos is like big, all right, let's get to that,
ladies and Joe. Then let's hear from the guy that
they're all talking about. Cut two. And this is a
mayor candidate who happens to be in the lead, Mom.
Speaker 4: Dannie, I would be the mayor of this entire city,
and that means ensuring that the wealth that we generate
in this city is also wealth that every single New
Yorker can actually feel in their pockets. Because what we
have today is a system that has generated the most
wealth in the wealthiest country in the history of the world.
Where one in four of our neighbors are living in poverty.
That's unacceptable. We can't look at five hundred thousand kids
hungry every single night as just the cost of doing
business in the city. That's something we have to actually change,
and I'm going to do that by fighting for my
neighbors in Queens that I've come to know, who are
not only the ones who own teapots and toy stores,
who own diners and dry cleaners, but also the ones
who work there, because right now all of them are
being pushed out of this city by corporate greed, by
private equity, and by a politics that refuses to fight
for them. I will finally let follow up.
Speaker 1: Okay, now, let me well before I address that, let
me get to I think the defining quote of the
debate that would be cut four Mom, Donnie again.
Speaker 4: But the question is how you'll make them free. We
will fund the revenue that would have otherwise been brought
in from fares, and that's something that we would do
in partnership with Albany. And I've put forward two proposals.
The first is to raise taxes on the top one
percent of New Yorkers by two percent. That would raise
four billion dollars. The second is to raise the state's
top corporate tax rate to match that out of New Jersey,
which would raise five billion.
Speaker 1: We're going to be all right, so here we go.
Let me go back. I want you to play that
first cut, and then I'm going to ask you to
stop it. At various points. Carlos cut to man, Donnie,
let's start here.
Speaker 4: I would be the mayor of this entire city, and
that means ensuring that the wealth that we generate in
this city is also wealth that every single New Yorker
can actually feel in their pocket.
Speaker 1: Stop it right there, the wealth that we generate in
this city. Who is we? Who is we? There are
a lot of people in New York who have their
hands out who are not generating anything at all. Okay,
all of the illegal immigrants who are on benefits, what
wealth are they generating? Hands are out? All of the
habitual generational welfare clients in New York who live on
the government teat and have been not just one familiar generation.
Now we're going back two, three, four, in some cases
even more than that generational welfare. What wealth are they
generating at all? And we are talking in many cases
able body people who can work, who choose not to work,
but they are living on the dole. And yes, many
of them live in what we call quote unquote poverty.
But you must keep in mind, folks, at that line,
that they're living in in many parts of this world,
the reality is they'd be considered to be doing quite well.
Does it make it right?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Should they do better? Yes? Do we want priority for everybody? Yes,
But let's be honest. What Americans call poor? And this
was going back twenty years ago, at least twenty years ago.
Heritage Foundation, I believe it was Heritage did had a
major article that Rush cited, and it was about poverty
in America. And back then, we're talking maybe twenty twenty
five years ago, twenty twenty five years ago, the average
income of people in poverty when you looked at their
benefits was thirty five forty thousand dollars a year somewhere there.
And that's not including everything. And that was way back when.
Now it's got to be a pire. Now you're talking
about EBT cards and everything else, thousands and thousands of
dollars on them, et cetera, et cetera, depending on who
they are, immigrants, illegal immigrants in this country in some
cases score thousands and thousands of tax payer dollars. Yet
you have this guy sitting here talking about the wealth
that Regenerate is going to everybody, And what does that
mean that means that people who actually earn a living,
people who actually work from the sweat of their brows.
He wants to take the money from them and redistribute
it to people who don't produce anything, or whose production
is very menusuled compared to what they are sucking out
of other people who do work. Now, let's continue with
that quote.
Speaker 4: Because what we have today is a system that has
generated the most wealth in the wealthiest country in the
history of the world, where one in four of our
neighbors are living in poverty. That's unacceptable. We can't look
at five hundred thousand kids hungry every single night as
just the cost of doing business in the city. That's
something we have to actually change. And I'm going to
do that by fighting for my neighbors in Queens that
I've come to know, who are not only the ones
who own teapots and toy stores, who own diners and
dry cleaners, but also the ones who work there. Because
right now all of them are being pushed out of
this city by corporate greed, by private equity, and by
a politics that refuses to fight for them. I will
finally sell it.
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing he blames private equity people. He
blames corporate greed for pushing them out. Notice they never
blame themselves. The political class in New York has operated
in a vacuum from democracy for almost two hundred years.
It has been Democrat after Democrat after democrat. Once in
a while they throw a Republican mayor and he who
cleans things up, and then they go right back to
the high crime, bamboozled democrats who have run this city,
run New York City into the ground. It is not
corporate greed that is pushing people out of New York.
It is the fact that New York sucks out so
much money and has always misspent the taxpayer money that
they've had. They spend money where they shouldn't be spending money.
They have never been frugal or been good stewards of
the taxpayer's money. They have wasted it, and they continue
to expand government. And what does government do. Government restricts
the business of the free flow of business. Those businesses
he's talking about, they're burdened by New York City's government
and their style of government. It's not corporate greed pushing
people out of New York is what Democrats have done.
To every single blue city in America, and you look
at New York City, and you look at every other
blue city, and it's the same story. High crime because
they refuse to deal with criminals. They import millions of
illegal immigrants and try to give them everything that they
can that American tax payers earn. The education is corrupt
and horrible. People are leaving because they can't have their
kids educated in an unsaved city. All of the problems
with blue cities are Democrats are responsible for. And instead
they always point the other direction and point to something. Oh,
it's the greedy corporate people. It's the greedy heade fund people.
When we get back, I want to deal with this
other thing. Let's tax the rich, because that's all these people.
Let's tax the rich. Let's tax the rich. It is
a lie, it is a sham. The rich already pay
the majority of taxes in America, period, and you keep
on robin these people so that you can misspend the
money on getting out to your hand instead of actually
correcting the problem, which is to expand prosperity for everybody.
But we'll deal with that. We have to do this first.
Surbly fastest our in American media do Not Go Away.
Speaker 3: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden Entertaining and
Informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: James Goldner is slurdly with you here fit fastest hour
on American media. Okay, go back to that Mondamie cut.
He's gonna raise taxes. I'm gonna raise taxes that was
cut for of mister Mandami. He's gonna raise your the taxes.
Speaker 4: But the question is how are you on the country.
We will fund the revenue. Knew that would have otherwise
been brought in from fares, and that's something that we
would do in partnership with Albany. And I put forward
two proposals. The first is to raise taxes on the
top one percent of New Yorkers by two percent. That
would raise four billion dollars. The second is to raise
the state's top corporate tax rate to match that of
New Jersey, which would raise five billion.
Speaker 1: We're going to be okay, So here's what he's gonna
do in order to give you free bus rides and
everything else. It's absolutely nonsensical proposal. He's gonna raise fair
He's gonna raise taxes on the top one percent. The
top one percent is their go to line. They've been
raising it by one percent here, one percent there, one
percent here. Every time Democrats whine, they act like the
rich don't pay any taxes as it is, and they're
just going to only take one percent. Well, they've been
willing this one percent, and the one percent never stays
the one percent. The wealthiest people in New York pay
most of the taxes that keep New York going. Period.
There's no if ads are butts and what their banking is.
These people love New York and will stay regardless of
the financial pain. And when you say paying well they're wealthy.
They want to stay wealthy, and they earn their wealth.
And so you have. I just got a text Mandnie's proposal,
like walking into a diner with fifty people asking four
people in there, Hey, you four pay for everybody else.
They have enough money to get on planes, they have
enough money to leave. You chase them out, and you
see what happens. What happens, New York turns into Detroit.
It's insane. The wealthiest allready pay more, in most cases
not all, than their fair share of taxes. And this
is utter Madness.

The Rush Hour with James Golden, Entertaining and Informative on

Speaker 5: There is no sign that the race is tightening at all.
K Paul would if anything sorrow. Mandana's lead is getting bigger, wider, larger.
You look in September in a three way Mandanni was
at forty five Como fifteen points back Curtis Lee, while
the Republican at seventeen. Look at where we are now,
Mamdannie is actually up. He's up to forty nine percent.
Then you got Como thirty one percent, so a fifteen
point advantage back in September on the average. Now it
is eighteen points. The bottom line is this, Andrew Cuomo
needs something very big to change at this particular point, unless,
of course, he becomes Teddy Roosevelt overnight. Because if something
doesn't change over the final two and a half weeks
of this campaign, this race is pretty much over.
Speaker 2: What is the historical.
Speaker 1: Ay that of course Hen ends Harry Enton on the race,
the New York City race. All right, now, let me
just say this about that in New York, and then
we have other things to talk about one of my dear,
dear colleagues, Dominic Carter has been on fire. If you
listen to his program, suggesting that Curtis lee Will ought
to drop out of the way, just get out, You're
gonna be the forever spoiler. In fact, that today's he's
was urging Curtis to take off the barrette after he
saw Curtis put the barrett back on. But that's but, but,
and people have been yuppy with Dominic because Dominic has
been calling one Curtis to get out. I have a
somewhat different take than Dominant. First of all, I respect
Dominic's take, and I understand why he's saying it. You politically,
you look at the numbers, look at the math that's
says here's the thing that I believe. And at contrast
with what Dominic believes, I don't think it's Curtis's job
to puff up Andrew Cromo and make him a better candidate.
The voters have known who Andrew Cuomo is for decades.
He was the governor of the state of New York
for goodness sakes. Before that. He was missed a big
shot back during the Clinton years when he mismanaged his
time over in hud and all the rest of it. Now,
I understand you a choice between two of them. I
understand that Mondami is like, oh hell no, compared to
Andrew Cuomo, who's just a hell no? Right? I mean,
you want do you want? Do you want? Do you
want Andrew Clomo to be your mayor? Hell no? Do
you want Mondami to be? Oh? Hal no? No? Now,
Curtis acquitted himself well on some of these things. In fact,
there's a political story that today about Curtis's performance. It
was really good. But again, I know people calling him
to drop out, like, Okay, if he drops out, his
name is still gonna be on the ballot, His die
hard fans are still going to vote for him, and
people that follow him. And besides, what is to say,
what proof does anybody offer that if he drops out
all of a sudden, all those voters that support him,
the now thirteen percent according to that CNN poll, it
dropped to thirteen from fifteen. What's to say that thirteen
percent is gonna say, oh, okay, Curtis dropped out, Now
let me vote for for hell no instead of oh
hell no, there's no how do you determine that it
is not Curtis Sleewerd's job to secure Andrew. It is
Andrew Cuomo's job to persuade the voters that he is
the best candidate. And as a seasoned politician, he ought
to know that how do you not counter what Mondamie
is saying and be able to explain to people in
ways that they believe you what the wreckage is in
New York and what the wreckage will be under Mondami
again fears I'm quoting. I didn't get permission and I
always do it. I'll tell you who it is. I'm
reading the text. My biggest fear is the mass exit
of police officers from New York State. If Mondamie wins,
New York City also, EMTs won't feel safe, firefighters won't
feel safe, These people will start to leave. New York
will be turned into Detroit. You look at that, and
by the way, it doesn't take you know what could
damage New York like crazy? If you had fifteen, fifteen,
fifteen of the wealthiest New Yorkers, not one hundred and fifty,
not one thousand. If you had fifteen or twenty of
the wealthiest New Yorkers to say you know what. I'm
out of here. That's it. I'm done. This city's going
to hell. I'm out of here. That fifteen to twenty
people if they make that decision. New York City's finances
are in a turmoil. That is how much tax they
already pay to support the nonsense that Democrats keep making
them choke on. And Madame Mom Donnie, this is going
to be what is if he's elected, will be an
economic horror story. Now, why can't Andrew Cuomo make that case?
I don't know, I don't know anyway, said what I
had to say about that. Let's move on. Caroline Levitt
has really stepped in it. If you're Hakim Jeffrey, he
is so angry at her. What did Caroline Levitt say?
Cut six? This is what Caroline levitt said. And by
the way, Gavin Newsom's out there flapping his jaws also
run somebody else. He's like, oh, let's jump on that
so I can look big and tough. Anyway, here's what
Caroline Levitt said that has Democrats, especially Hakim Jeffries upset.
Speaker 6: Proved that the Democrat Party's main constituency are made up
of hamas, terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals. That is
who the Democrat Party is catering to, not the Trump
administration and not the White House, and not the Republican Party,
who is standing up for law abiding Americans not just
across the country but around the world, and not.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's what she said, and Hakim is livid.
Cut five Hakum Jeffries.
Speaker 7: We've not gotten any information specifically from speaker from House
Republican leadership, although it is a matter of deep concern,
like we've already seen a rise in political violence and
hatred in America. And then you've got swastikas apparently appearing
in the offices of Republican members of Congress, lie young
Republicans engaging in the most anti Semitic and racist speech
possible of them, Like this is apparently who many of
these people are. They are ripping the sheets off and
plain view of the American people, their words, they're ats
revealing themselves in so many different ways.
Speaker 5: And then you've got.
Speaker 7: Caroline Levitt, who's sick, she's out of control, and I'm
not sure whether she's just demented, ignorant, stone coal liar,
or all of the above. But the notion that an
official White House spokesperson would say that the Democratic Party
consists of terrorists, violent criminals, and undocumented immigrant. This makes
no sense that this is what the American people are
getting from the Trump administration in the middle of a shutdown.
So their actions continue to speak for themselves, which is
why they're on the wrong side of public sentiment.
Speaker 1: Let's go, let's talk these things. Members of Republican members
have schwashed the kids in their offices. This is so
much I almost want to say the BS word because
that's exactly what this is. One member, one Republican member
of Congress had a flag in his office vandalized, and
there is an investigation with the Capitol Police right now
to find and this member who called the Capitol police
to find out why this who did this and vandalized
a flag with a schwastika. There are not Republicans running
around with schwased the flags in their office. That is
a blatant lie. And for the minority leader of the
party not to know the facts, he's either ignorant and
hasn't checked before he opens his mouth, or he's lying.
Now the Republicans, the Republicans with the vile language. You
had seven or eight Young Republicans, and I went off
on it. They said vile things. Not the entire Republican Party,
not even the entire Young Republicans, fifteen thousand members in
the Young Republicans around the United States. You had seven
or ate miscreants that said horrible things and have been
widely condemned by most Republicans. Today Politico, New York State
Republican Party leaders voted unanimously to today to disband an
organization promoting younger members following Political's exclusive report on a
young Republican chat group filled with racist and anti Semitic rhetoric.
And you can see the people's names. They have been
fired from their jobs. They've been removed, all of them.
And now these organizations themselves have their charter has been removed, basically,
and they're done, and they're going to start all over
again with an organization. They still want to engage young
Republican voters, but they're gonna make sure that this kind
of crap, horrific as it is, doesn't happen again. Now,
let's go back to Caroline Levitt's statement. She did not
say the Democrat Party were terrorists. She said their constituins
and what is she talking about. She's talking about these
pro Harmasque protests that have royal this nation. And in
case anybody's memory is lacking, they dominated the news almost
all of last year and they're still out trying to
figure out what the protest for. And they, yes, they
were definitely taking what they call the pro Palestinian But
when many of us understood the pro terrorist point of view,
not all of them, not all of these protesters were
in favor of hamas, but enough of the loud mouse
in the group were including calls to kill Jews and
to annihilate Jews, and they were saying so, and that
is in support of the pro terrorist harmas line of thinking.
Mister Jeffries, In case you don't know or ill informed
about that, are they pro illegal immigrant? Why? Certainly they are.
All you have to do is look at the sanctuary
policies of California, New York and everywhere else that are
pro immigrants, and even in an election year, they are not.
The Democrats backing away from it. Cut one. This is
the woman Abigail Spenberger, who wants to be the next
governor of Virginia.
Speaker 8: In what we've seen recently, the really horrifying thing is
that now under the new administration of the Trump administration,
where every cross into the United States is considered a
criminal act.
Speaker 1: This is the candidate. The horrifying thing she says under
the Trump administration is that every crossing in which she's
talking about but won't say the word, every illegal crossing
is considered a crime. And she finds that horrifying. And
by the way, yes, you go back to the things
that they have said about Donald Trump and you compare
that to what Caroline Levit is saying and the things
that they still say. In fact, I got a story today.
There's a Democrat group out of Wisconsin that was giving
bracelets to children at a farmer's market. You know what
the bracelets had on them. Let me just find the
story real quick. They had bracelets that they were handing
out two children, and the bracelet said eighty eighty six
forty seven, pretty much the call to assassinate Donald Trump.
I will find that story. I can't put my finger on.
I brought that story up with me. I bought that
story with me. I just have to find it because
it's ridiculous. Oh, we didn't even get to John Bolton.
He can't travel out of the country, by the way.
But outside of that, he's done. Unions returned to court
as Trump ours additional courts. The unions are here. It
is I was seething. Mother describes appalling anti Trump bracelet
local Democrats gave her eight year old daughter. Democrats escalated
their attacks on Trump. Blah blah blah. Now here's a woman.
We're down at the former's market, having a conversation my
sister in law. Next to their booth. They had free
children's books and bubbles blowing into wind, kids having a
great time. We didn't think much of it. Out of
the corner of my eye, I see a man reaching
over giving our children a bracelet. Kind of waited for it. Okay,
so those would be fun. The child runs over hand
to to us. We both looked down and my sister says,
I really don't know what this is and says it's
I said, is he dead yet? Is he dead yet?
And the bracelets were that eighty six Wait a minute,
is he dead yet? Right? The bracelet? Some of them
had the language is he dead yet? Others include eighty
six forty seven. The manager of the farmers market said
they had so many complaints. Now they have banned, banned.
This is the Winnebago County Democrat Party had a booth
and this is what they were giving the children. And
you have Hakim Jeffries here wining about Caroline Leavitt. We
gotta take a break fastest hour in American That's right.
The bracelet said, is he dead yet? Is he dead yet?

And that's just part of her comments back to him.
She is totally on fire. By the way, I mentioned
