Speaker 4: Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative on the
Red Apple podcast Network.
Speaker 5: I do have to ask, and I know, and it's
just something that I think we're compelled to at this
moment with the attention on President Trump, with these questions
are out a part in did anybody see or hear
of the President himself doing anything inappropriate? As a related
to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3: No, you get up in the morning and you doom
scroll through things.
Speaker 6: And although I will say this, the last few days
you woke up thinking there might be news, just saying
just saying there will be news sometimes just so you
know there will be news.
Speaker 7: But I'll tell you who is a complete piecer. I'm
going to tell you right now, there are about a
lot of services him Walls for the governor of Minnesota
holding up a phone in front of a rally saying, well,
we thought we were going to wake up and find
out the president had died.
Speaker 8: Someday it'll happen.
Speaker 9: Someday it'll happen.
Speaker 7: I used to say it was the biggest buffoon in
American politics, but it's worse now. No political official, no
elected official, should be walking around saying well, I'm hoping
we wake up one day and the President of the
United States has died.
Speaker 3: Crazy, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's among the crazy news ladies and gentlemen. Of course,
the first story, this Epstein story that refuses the Liberals
refuse to let it go. In fact, I just I
didn't bother to print it. I saw a story I
think it was in The Hill, New York Representative Dan Goldman,
who is suggesting that there's some there there Trump is
trying to hide something that is right. Anyway, there's a
lot of Epstein in the news today, and for those
of you that want Epstein news, I played the relevant cut.
They're all trying to link Donald Trump to it. There's
no there there their demands. There was testimony on the
Hill from some of the Epstein survivors.
Speaker 3: They've been on TV and etc. Etc. The big news today.
Speaker 1: That is growing into a big story already is the
strike that the US military made on a Venezuelan group
called cartel. They say it's trendy Agua that was trying
to bring in drugs to the country. It was a
Narco vessel. The US struck the Narco vessel boom by
boom by. The US struck a cartel vessel in the
Southern Caribbean transporting drugs Tuesday, marking the first shots by
the American military in President Donald Trump's war against the cartels,
and the President did say he was going to commit
to a war against cartel the same kind of way
we deal with other terrorists. The strike sank a vessel
belonging to Venezuelan and drug cartel Trendagua on Tuesday morning.
Eleven cartel members confirmed debted in the attack. The strike
carried out by the US Southern Command. It was in
international waters. Three a GS class missile boat stationed alongside
other assets that are going to do their best to
disrupt the Latin American flow of drugs into America. No
US forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this
service notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into
the United States of America, beware. Thank you for your
attention to this matter, Trump said on truth Social last night.
So he did say earlier this morning on his orders.
In the strike, the US military forces conducted a kinetic
strike against positively identified trendi Agua narco terrorists in the
South com Area of Responsibility. TDA is a designated foreign
terrorist organization operating under the control of and we know
that Moduro and Maduro has been making thinly veiled threats
against the United States, saying that you know he's going
to defend our sees, our skies, our lands. Speaking of
venez Nuela, and he called the US deployment of forces
an outlandish and a bizarre threat of a declining empire. Well,
if anything is declining, I would suggest when need look
no further than venez Nuella. Now there is there are
already voices lining up to do the usual, which is
the President Trump does something, whatever action he takes. The
TDA crowd immediately, the TDS crowd immediately opens up. So
I'm already seeing stories. I'm sure you are too. I'll
find one during the break that I was searching for
just now, which is that, well, what legal authority, what
legal authority? There's another one in the New York Times.
Is Venezuela flooding the US with drugs? Here's what we need.
The Trump administration says, Venezuela is sending vast amounts of
cocaine to the United States. Venezuela is rolling the drug traders.
Overstated experts. Experts say experts. Anytime I see that sort
of headline in one of these mainstream press locations and
one of these drive by media types, experts say it,
immediately causes me to question, who are you experts? And
why are they saying it? Because I don't believe anymore
experts say. For every expert the Left can pull up
to say something, there are other experts who say exactly
the opposite or that have a difference of opinion. This week,
the move took a drastic turn. President Trump said Tuesday
that US fortunes had killed eleven people in a strike.
He then posted a video that depicted the attack Venezuela's
government claimed, without offering evidence, the video was made with
artificial intelligence. Maduro, at a news conference called the navy
build up the greatest threat that South America's continent has
seen in the last hundred years. Venezuela times is not
a major producer of cocaine's but serves as a transit
hub for it. The country's long poorest border with Columbia,
the world's largest producer along the coastline, provides traffickers with
global marketplace access. You know, okay, So we also heard
from the Presidente of Presidente of Columbia. He President Day
of Colombia not happy, world's biggest cocaine producing country, calls
Trump's Narco vessel strike murda.
Speaker 3: It's meda.
Speaker 1: Colombian President Gustavo Petro said in the post translated by
the Daily Caller News Foundation that the pilots of the
boat were likely poor young people and that the killing
was unjust because the transporters weren't the big narcos. Colombia
is not only the world's largest exporter of cocaine, but
also a place hosted some of Latin America's most vicious
cartoels and the militias. We've been capturing civilians who transport
drugs for decades without killing them. Petro said in his post,
those who transport drugs are not big narcos, but very
poor young people from the Caribbean and the Pacific. I
guess that's their version of saying people of color. It
sounds like it to me. Those who transport drugs are
not the big narcos, but very poor young people from
the Caribbean and the PACIFICO.
Speaker 3: No, and there's the booo Donald tributary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cocaine exported a record high two thousand, six hundred
and sixty four metric tons of cocaine in twenty twenty three,
according to UN stats. This president was formerly a member
of the M nineteen militia, a mark militant group and
Columbia that turned into a Marxist that's turned into the
political leadership. He has been a long standing critic of
Donald Trump. And you know what, Marco Rubio saying, guess
what we did it? President Trump said, we struck. It's
going to cause the cartels to think twice. Rubio says,
it's gonna happen again. We're not going to continue to
let these nations continue to flood drugs into the United
States of America unimpeded. They're just poor, They're just poor
children from the Caribbean, poor people. Well, the poor people
should find another line of work unless they want to
risk getting blown out of the water. And this is
what I was looking for a Wall Street. This is
the Washington Post where journalism dies in broad daylight. Trump
officials defend lethal strike on alleged the alleged Venezuelan drug vote,
but the administration has not provided a legal authority or
justification for the attack, which kills eleven. These people cannot
stand anything that Donald Trump does. I suppose if you
look at it from their point of view, the drug dealers,
they probably agree with this guy, the president of the
Marxist president of Columbia. Why they're just poor people trafficking
in drugs. Why are you bothering them? They should go
For decades and decades and decades, we've just been arresting
these guys and just they just keep sending the drugs.
But for decades we've been doing it. We don't really
try to stop. We just arrest them for decades, and
then we just keep shipping cocaine. And other drugs to
your country. Yeah, we arrest a few of them. Well,
different Secretary Pete Hegx has said Venezuelan President Nicholas Mudau
has some decisions to make after the strike. And one
of the things that is said, we have tapes. The
administration says that there are tapes they have of them speaking,
I guess meaning Nicholas Maduro and some of these narcos.
We have tapes. Massive amount of drugs coming into our
country to kill a lot of people. Everybody fully understands it.
Bags of drugs all over the boat that they hit.
Venezuela has been really bad, very bad, he said, both
in terms of drugs and sending some of the worst
criminals anywhere in the world in our country. And as
you may remember, the president has the playered war on
the narco, on the cartels, the drug cartels. So liberals
are gonna complain, they're already starting. They're already starting in
the Washington Post to defend the drug dealers, the drug
cartels that have been poisoning America because Donald Trump hasn't
provided a legal authority or any no justification. He's just
striking drug dealers with no justification. Whatsoever. The Left will
go to any means necessary to try to defend anybody,
any illegal criminal or illegal criminal activity. They will defend
it all if Donald Trump is trying to stop it.
These people are just They should be embarrassed, but they
are not. They don't even have the consciousness to be
embarrassed by their actions, by what they're putting in print.
James Goldenstern, We're coming back. Whatever you do. I'm going away.
Fastest hour in American media right.
Speaker 4: Here, The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red
Apple podcast network.
Speaker 8: James Golden known popularly as both snrdly.
Speaker 3: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden.
Speaker 10: I grew up in the suburbs and I've never had
to deal with gun violence until I was older, and
in my mid twenties, when I moved to Chicago once
my father passed away. My mother is originally from Chicago.
And the fact of seeing seniors getting cue, our children
getting killed, mothers getting killed, young men getting killed, and
we are not getting any help at all, it is
starting to become normalized. And that is not normal.
Speaker 1: And you know what else is normal? The number of
drug addicted deaths. The number the numbers of crime that
have been going on in this country for decades now.
It has become in a way normal for Democrats. This
is the way it is. In fact, you have television
series like The Wire. Who I mean, it's wow, look
at this. This is so real. Not that it should exist,
but it's so real. And so when President Trump decides
that he's going to head that he wants to go
after violence, whether it's in American blue cities where violences dominate,
or whether it's on the high seas. This drug cartel,
these drug cartels, what is the reflex of liberals, folks
to defend the drug dealers, defend the sources, the root
causes of this criminality. Because it's Donald Trump. I read
through these stories the AP and announcing this strike, Trump
said the operation which he said killed the eleven was
carried out in international waters. But then he goes on,
this AP story goes on. We found they quote some
experts supposedly from Insight Crime, which last month published a
sixty four page report on the gang based on two
years worth of their research. We found no direct participation
of TDA in transnational drug trade. Really, like they know
the ins and outs of everything, but yet This is
who gets it. The drugs were on the way. Our
intelligence spotted the drugs coming into America. They were blown up.
But now because Trump did it, the left will second
guess everything. Well, I'm not second guessing it at all.
The only thing I'm saying is in terms of dealing
with these druggies. About time.
Speaker 4: 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: Sure, yes, ladies and gentlemen, back here with you. Can
I just ask you a question and don't infer anything
from this. Do you get bored listening to this music?
Speaker 11: Not really?
Speaker 3: Not really, this isn't boring to you. No, No, I
don't know why. But no.
Speaker 1: I don't know why either. Okay, I'm just it's justin Timberlake, folks.
So yeah, you know, where's Philip?
Speaker 3: I asked?
Speaker 1: I thought I asked it. Ask Philip if this is
my bad or this is just me? I thought we
had a conversation in here from Mark Helprin and some
of his compatriots talking about the New York mayor's race.
I don't see it, and I'm looking for it because
I wanted to call it to your attention. And I
don't know whether we have it in there or not.
But let me tell you something. This conversation went on
and on and on. It's a long conversation, but what
is going on is quite interesting when it comes to
the New York we have it. Let's just play a
little of it, Carlos, and let's no, we can't play it.
Oh wrong link. Okay, I sent the wrong thing, and
I'm sorry. We'll have to deal with it tomorrow then.
But Mark helped and company did had a conversation and
I thought that this was soon. Maybe Adams is going
to drop out. You found it. Let's just play a
little bit of it, folks, and just just see what
you think about this.
Speaker 12: All right, my world, my inbox is filled with chatter
that Mayor Adams is going to get out of the
mayoral race. I don't know that it's true. I'm not
reporting that he's getting out. I'm just telling you a
lot of people are saying he's going to get out,
and these are people with some reason to know. We'll
see what happens, but but don't be surprised if he's
out of the race before two way to night. What
he's been promised, why I think that's in his interest
will be much discussed. This as a guy who likes
to trade things, Dan, what are the implications if he
gets at it.
Speaker 9: Would be absolutely massive because you it would allow potentially
another block of voters to move over to Cuomo. Now
and now the old the one left I think is
the easiest one to move. Now, you just say to
Donald Trump and the Republican Party and Steve Whitkoff and
all the people there who seriously don't want Mndnnie he elected,
you need to find an off rant for Curtis Leewa
so he may become the ambassador to something, he may
get appointed to, you know, some sort of position.
Speaker 12: But and did any doubt in your mind that if
it's effectively a one on one race because the fifth
guy got out yesterday, if it's a one on one race,
who would you make the favorite? Just one on one
Cuomo versus Mondanna Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 9: Because I have said this since since July first, Mndonnie
cannot get above forty percent. He cannot. He has not
moved in two and a half months. And that's okay
to New.
Speaker 1: York because I'm gonna go switch gears right now to
the New York Times story. Here's the story in the
New York Times today. Trump advisors have discussed a job
for Adams if he quits the mayor's race. The conversations
have also involved Curtis, with the goal of giving Andrew
Cuomo a better chance of defeating Zoran mom Danny In November.
Advisors to President Trump have discussed the possibility of giving
Mayor Eric Adams of New York City a position in
the administration as a way. I know what they should
make him. They should make him the csaar of Chicago.
They should put him in charge of the whole thing
in cleaning up Chicago. That's what they should make Eric
Adams do. Become the Chicago czar. I mean, working with
Tom Holman and why are you shaking your head? No,
I think it would be highly symbolic.
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I thank you for one big city, put in another one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, make him the face of change in Chicago.
I think it would be a great idea. Put Eric
Adams as the Chicago czar. Put him up against Brandon
Johnson and Pritzker and Christy and Dick Urbin. I'm sorry,
Dick Durbin. Yeah, the talks have involved finding a possible
place in the administration for the Republican candidate Curtis Lewa. Now,
in this New York Times story, they quote Tita as
they they quote Curtis Lewa as saying that he's not
interested in anything else but New York, etcetera, etcetera. But
keep your eye on this, Folks Brewing Brewing. And John Katzermatidis,
by the way, is quoted in the New York Times
article saying that he's spoken with Trump about the race.
D said he spoke with him last Sunday and that
Donald Trump's very concerned. How do they say it? This
is for all the tea in China. This is serious,
Mandamie was talking about. Now, there's another article today about
how many mom Donnie is trying to soften some of
his more radical approaches to politics and his radical solutions.
Keeping our eye on that. I want to get back
to Chicago's because the talk, yes sir, yes, yes, color what.
Speaker 13: You know, approvement by a political person is going to
make make him get over that.
Speaker 1: That is the big fear. Now, look, it's not to
say that he can't endorsement.
Speaker 3: Endorsement is the word I was looking. There are no endorsements.
Speaker 1: I believe that that look, endorsements have limited value in
my book, are they valuable? To some point? People are
going to vote for this guy either or not. They're
not going to vote for him because someone else says
vote for him. They're going to vote for him because
they either like what he's saying, or for any other
number of reasons. I don't think the endorsements make a
huge In some reasons, they may count a little bit.
Like for instance, I think the Robert Kennedy endorsement of
Trump helped because he was coming into the administration and
bringing people in based on what he wanted to accomplish.
That was a helpful political endorsement. He had his own
hardcore followers that saw giving Trump their vote a way
to do something or accomplish something politically that they wanted
to happen. That was a real endorsement. But your average
Joe blow politician that no one cares about anybody saying, oh,
please vote for this guy. I don't think most people
care about endorsements like that.
Speaker 13: So if let's say Brett Ladner was like a little
bit better, doing better in the polls, and then he
got out and he endorsed mom dummy, which I mean
with that, like who doing higher than what he is?
Speaker 9: Who?
Speaker 3: Brad? Yeah? See that's the problem. So who cares what he? Brad? Who?
He said I should do?
Speaker 14: What?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks, thanks Brad. Don't let the doorknop pitch you.
We had a good lad splitcher bye, Brad. Uh. Okay, Chicago, Carlos,
let's go through these while we have time. We got
a bunch of Chicago. Let's start with how King Jeffries
asked about Chicago. We can't play the whole thing two
minutes nineteen he's boring, but we'll play the beginning of
it for you because they're asking about it. Cut six,
how King Jeffries asked about Trump and Chicago. And by
the way, the reporter that asked them this was from
Daily Caller, which was interesting.
Speaker 3: You said that you would.
Speaker 15: Be opposed to having an extension of the National Guard's
presence here. Since the crackdowns began, carjackings have dropped sixty
six percent, and robberies have dropped twenty eight percent, and
violent crime fifteen percent, and You've been opposed to this
since their presence here began. But are depots finding themselves
on the wrong side of this issue.
Speaker 14: At all with such reports?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 9: I mean, are they beneficial.
Speaker 16: I had a very good conversation with the Mayor of
the District of Columbia. I'm going to continue to support
her position. Every single area of criminal activity that you
mentioned was on the way down prior to the arrival
of the National Guard. I'm going to continue to personally
support the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia.
I'm going to support the Chicago Police Department, the New
York Police Department, and police officers who protect and serve
all across the country. And if those local police departments
conclude that they want some support from the federal government,
then I support that effort by those local police departments
to partner with the federal government. It's as simple as that.
Donald Trump, Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Now he goes on his Trump rad Okay, fine, so
that's the way he's covering it. But of course he
just cannot come out and say, this is a great
idea by Trump and they should do it in Chicago.
So let's go to Chicago. And talk to that Mayor
Brandon Johnson nine percent approval rating I believe the last
time I heard, maybe it's higher these days. Not sure anyway,
cut seven Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Speaker 11: However, I also want to be clear about this. There
are measures that the federal government can take right now
to help continue to drive down violence and crime in
our city. We need the federal government to stop the
endless flow of guns into our state and into our city.
Chicago police officers have taken more than twenty four thousand
guns illegal guns off the streets of Chicago since I've
taken office. Over twenty four thousand illegal guns taken off
the streets of Chicago since I've been in office. They
have worked hard every single day to make our city safer,
and they've made historic progress. However, we will never be
able to end gun violence in Chicago as long as
the President continues to allow tens of thousands of guns
to be trafficked into our state and our city.
Speaker 3: Okay, vast majority of Oh, it's the president's fault.
Speaker 1: He's allowing allowing guns to be trafficked then, so it's
not the criminals, by the way, the criminals in Chicago
are innocent. The murderers in Chicago are innocent. The rapists
to use guns in Chicago, they're innocent. It is not
the fault of the criminals who commit crime. It's the
fault of the people that make the guns that's the problem,
not the criminals who use it. Let's go to x
Mayor Lorie Lightfoot really quickly cut eight and let's hear her.
Speaker 17: If you really cared about violent crime, go after the
gun manufacturers who are just mass producing these weapons that
have no liability or accountability. Go after the gun stores
that know that they're selling to straw purchasers that flood
into our city. Past common sense gun reform that we
have been begging for for decades. Those are the kinds
of things that actually would make a meaningful difference in
violent crime. He's not talking about any of those things.
He will not do any of those things.
Speaker 4: Walk around saying I feel twenty two percent, SA, what
do you think people feel like is happening in Chicago?
Speaker 18: Well, I tell you one thing. They feel like they
feel like they are too damn many guns in Chicago,
and they're coming in. Federal government want to help us
stop this flow of weapons into our city of Chicago
and state of Illinois. We know they're coming in from
state with lax laws when it comes to firearms, and
the federal government can do something about it. What has
this president done about it. He's eliminated, dramatically eliminated the
people who are supposed to make sure these gun dealers
are held to the law. That's an important step to
really reduce the crime in the area and reduce the
concern of local officials.
Speaker 8: My coworker was standing above me, saying, you're okay. We're
in the hospital. You've been assaulted.
Speaker 14: She then passed out again.
Speaker 8: Is the next thing I remember is my daughter Dianna saying, Hi, Mama,
I'm here, You're okay.
Speaker 14: And well, she doesn't remember what happened. A colleague who
is walking with her at the time told her this.
Speaker 8: She had said, this man came in between the two
of us, shoved us apart, and then hit me in
the face.
Speaker 14: That punch left Miles with several broken bones in her face,
as well as a concussion. According to police, she was
assaulted by thirty two year old William Livingston. A record
search produced thirteen mugshots of Livingston going back to twenty twelve.
A large number of those arrests for aggravated assault and
battery of both women and police officers. Something Miles found
out after the fact.
Speaker 3: Like what is enough?
Speaker 8: You know, what does someone have to do? Where someone
where he's going to be, They're going to be held accountable.
Speaker 1: According to Aunty, and this story goes on, my friends,
this is a typical story from where Chicago. This guy,
they show his picture, thirteen different month shots, thirteen attacks
in and out of jail in Chicago. This beating of
this poor woman happened downtown Chicago. She's lucky, she escaped
with her life. And but what do they do? Oh,
our criminals, We have good criminals, you see. It's the
gun manufacturers that are bad. They and state those red
states that that state Indiana. They're so bad they keep
sending gruns here and our poor little innocent criminals get stuck,
they get forced to use those guns that.
Speaker 3: Come in from Indiana.
Speaker 1: But it's not therefore we have good criminals here in Chicago.
Speaker 3: It's the it's the gun manufacturer. It's the blame. It's
the gun PayPal to blame.
Speaker 1: Not the fact that we endorse criminal behavior because we
let them out on the damn streets as soon as
we pull.
Speaker 12: Them in.
Speaker 3: Our We have good criminals in Chicago.
Speaker 1: That's the line. You are, Dick Turbin, Durban Lightfoot, Brandon Johnson,
it goes to Prisco. None of these Democrats will condemn
the criminals. It's like supply and demand doesn't exist. The
only reason that you have guns coming into the state
is because you have criminals who want them. And if
they didn't get them from wherever you claim they're getting
them from, they get them from somewhere else. You know
why they're criminals. Why is it so difficult for these people.
Speaker 3: No, it.
Speaker 1: Cannot be this difficult for these people to comprehend and
understand this.

Speaker 1: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am in the midst of a
huge online debate, and it's a very friendly debate with
Princess Diana, with Lady Benedict and myself. We're all talking
about this article that was in the New York times
in helporn on the Mayor's the mayor Adams suggesting he
might drop out. Now, Princess Diana advises me that Adams
has been offered a position at the US Department Housing
and Urban Development. According to a person with the reck
knowledge of the author, who was granted anonimity to speak
candidly about the sensitive matter, the mayor, who has a
friendly working and political relationship with Trump, met with the
President's team during his visit Monday to Florida. So Adams
in consultation. Now we both said, and I'm going to
just be blunt HUD. Oh, hell no, that's the black job.
That's the black job. They always shove off the black tabinet. Republicans.
Put the black guy over on Hud. Put him there.
They've already got the black guy in HUD. Adams can't
be second filled Scott Turner. Adams can't be second fiddle
to Scott Turner. I think they need to make him
the tip of the spear.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so racist.
Speaker 1: They need to make him the tip of the spear
in the big city cleanup or. Princess Dye says they
should appoint him ambassador to District of Columbia. We gotta go.
