Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network. Layoffs federal workers, well, this is all caused
by the Democrats.
Speaker 1: They asked us to do something that's totally unreasonable.
Speaker 2: They never change.
Speaker 1: They want to give money away to illegals, illegally, people
that entered our country illegally. They want to give a
massive federal money and we don't want to do that
because it means everyone's going to just keep pouring bet
Right now, absolutely perfect borders like you haven't seen in
many years, even better than the I had great borders
during my four years. But these borders are stone coll clothes.
Speaker 2: You can only come into our country legally now. But
the Democrats want to give it all away.
Speaker 1: They want to also they want to open up the borders.
Take a look at that big thing. They want to
open borders again. After what we're going through now, getting
rid of prisoners, getting rid of all of these people
dropped out from mental institutions, drug dealers, drug addicts, everything
that they're putting everybody.
Speaker 2: Into our country. It's all ended now. But this is
what Schumer wants.
Speaker 1: This is what the Democrats want.
Speaker 2: They want.
Speaker 5: Welcome my friends to the Thursday edition in Boston. Earlies Rush,
I are fastest hour in American media. At the top,
we played of course, your President, our President, Donald of J.
Trump on what looks like to be a variation of
a theme. The theme usual is that these things go
right to the minute, all this talk about government shutdowns,
and then somebody blinks. I remember the last time I
discussed this with our very own Princess of Policy, Princess Diana.
She said, I'm not even paying attention much to this stuff.
It says the usual stuff. They'll come up with a
last minute, and sure enough, at the last minute, they
came up with a deal. I'm wondering if the princess
maybe we ought to give her a call, but I
didn't ask her to. But let's just see if she'll
take a call. Maybe she won't, maybe she won't. Yeah,
just call her. Let's see whether she'll take a call.
I wonder if the Princess is thinking like I'm thinking
this time, this time, we may actually get a government
shut down. The stakes have been raised, my friends, Donald
Trump did something that threw this entire non story into
big story yesterday. The White House has begun plans for
mass firings if there is a government shutdown the White House.
This is the Washington Post version of the storty. The
White House is preparing federal agencies for widespread layoffs if
the government shuts down next week. By the way, that's
shutdown October first, this when it's scheduled. The directive has shaken, shaken,
shaken the federal workforce, which is already undergone sweeping layoffs
under DOGE, and is now scrambling to understand who who
could lose their jobs. As early as Wednesday, the White
House Office of Management and Budget issue to memo late
Wednesday directing byrecking agencies to consider firing employees working on
any program that is not funded by another law, such
as the Republicans One Big Beautiful Act enacted in July
and which does not align with the president's priorities. Once
government funding is reinstated after a shutdown, agencies should revise
their plans to keep only the smallest number of employees
necessary legally to operate. Says she's not thank you, Okay, fine,
I try to take it by surprise, you wouldn't take
de bait necessary necessary to legally operate.
Speaker 2: Folks, this is huge.
Speaker 5: We have not seen a Republican administration do this ever
in the history of back and forth between Democrats always
trying to blame Republicans for wanting a government shut down,
and this time Republicans daring a Republican of all Republicans,
Donald Trump, Hey, go along with us, otherwise we'll shut
the government down. Donald Trump is pretty much say, okay,
shut it down, baby, and when you shut it down,
we're gonna use that opportunity to pair this government down
so small you won't believe what happens. In fact, ed Morrissey,
and I saw the princess sent this to me. I
love the way the hot the air ed Morrissey. His
story is White House, nice swamp you got there, Chuck,
shame if something happened to it. That is hysterical. Two
days ago, Chuck Schumer threatened Donald Trump with a good time.
Now the White House threatens to make the good time permanent. Literally,
the deadline for a government shut down as fast approaching,
and Schumer tried to play hardball.
Speaker 2: This week. He and HAKEM.
Speaker 5: Jeffreys demanded a meeting with Trump to negotiate, which Trump
initially accepted but canceled after they issued a massive list
of concessions they wanted before the meeting even took place.
Schumer then ran out to the press and said that
Trump was chicken and that any shutdown would be his fault,
even though the House of Representatives has already passed the
clean cr that Schumer had demanded when Joe Biden was
president ish, which is a very nice way of putting it.
Of course, even with the spend that still leaves charge
Trump in charge. Vinny shut Down Marshy says. He explained
on Tuesday, any aspiring swamp draining president plenty of opportunity
to hammer the Democrat constituency. But he may have even
underestimated Trump's ambition. The Wall Street Journal reports today that
they will use any shutdown as an opportunity for permanent
mass firings, not just furloughs. The stakes have been raised.
Now this is inside swamp stuff. To a lot of you,
I got bad, bad folks. This is a big deal
if this plays out, if the Democrats, and what do
the Democrats want? The Democrats, simply put, are demanding that
illegal immigrants be restored to the welfare roles. That's when
you break it all down. Yes, yes, Carl, that's what
they demanding. They keep saying, for instance, you gotta see,
you have to learn how to speak Washington code, right,
and I'm a master at speaking Washington code. I understand
Washington code. So the Democrats run out and they say
things like Republicans are savaging the nation's healthcare, they're gutting
the healthcare. That that's cold. That doesn't mean that Republicans
are actually chopping off healthcare benefits to American citizens.
Speaker 2: They're not.
Speaker 5: American citizens wouldn't stand for it. What has been cut
are the illegal immigrants sucking on the big mammary gland
of the federal government. Via v vis a V healthcare benefits.
And the way it works is you have you have
these funds, and in some cases, the states have their
own healthcare program funded by the federal government. And what's
happening is the federal government has just said, Okay, look
we're going to trim this down. We're not paying for
illegal immigrants to have health care. They're here illegally, no more.
And so the Democrats run out me to oh, they're
destroying the health care set.
Speaker 2: No, they're not.
Speaker 5: And the Republicans did one other thing in this big
beautiful bill. You may have remembered some of the arguments.
They said, why able body people, people that are able
bodies should not be on benefits, should not If you
can go to work, go out and get a job. Simple,
it's a simple concept. If you're healthy, if you can work,
then you should be working. So they limited the amount
of time that people can sit on welfare, and they said,
you know, you able body, go get a job. If
you're here illegally, no healthfare, no healthcare, binnies for you.
There's no other country in the world that you can
come in to the country illegally and then start sucking
off those taxpayers except us. Well, maybe some of the
Western European nations do it too, because that's one of
the reasons they're in trouble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like in the UK, you.
Speaker 5: Have all kinds of people streaming over there and getting
on Bennie's over in the UK. But we do it.
We're the leaders, no question about it. And it's time
for that to stop. So they run out, they make
all these claims and they're destroying healthcare. Blah blah blah blah.
It's not true. But this is a checkmate. Okay, you
want to shut down the government, shut it down, babe,
shut it down. And since there's no funding for these
government workers while it's shut down, we're just going to
fire the government workers in mass that are not already
funded through like, for instance, the Big Beautiful Bill, or
we're not going to fund anything that doesn't align with
this administration view of what the government.
Speaker 2: Should look like.
Speaker 5: This is check check and let's see how the Democrats respond.
Now already Democrats are out trying to ratchet up the rhetoric.
But take your cue from the Washington Post and this sentence.
The directive has shaken the federal workforce, which has already
undergone sweeping layoffs this year. Now take it also from
this story your cue as to how this one is
being relayed to the Democrat base. Remember old mister Margherita,
Chris van Holland, go down. Let's have some margaritas with
illegal aliens down at him, Fox News. Senate progressive accuses
Trump of mafia style blackmail in show fight. A Senate
Democrat ripped President Donald Trump for recently a recently released
memo that detailed mass firings in the event of a shutdown,
and accused the President of engaging in quote unquote mafia
style blackmail. Senator Chris van Holland mister Margharita rallied railed
against the Office of Management and Budgets O and B
memo sent to federal agencies this week that outline a
plan to reduce employees across the government beyond those that
are typically furloughed. Van Holland charged that Trump is engaged
in a mafia style blackmail, with his threats ultimately harming
the American people. He's threatening to double down on the
fail actions of Elon Musk and his chainsaw, going after
patriotic civil servants that provide Americans with critical services. Despite
having to rehire many of these workers after Americans ex
experienced the negative impacts of those cuts. He said, yeah, yeah, yeah,
this is all gobblygoog because you know what, they shut
it down. These mass firings happen. Most Americans will not
even feel a ripple from it, but there are some
that will. And that leads me to an op ed
that I'm going to get to when we get back
from one of the candidates running for governor in the
state of Virginia. Yes, there are other things happening in
the news. Democrats are continuing to try to do two things.
Deflect from the violence that their rhetoric has caused in
terms of ice and pretend that it didn't happen, and
to pretend also also that what we're seeing is the
new normal in terms of the violence. Everybody does it,
not the left wing. So we got that story and
so many others. The economy is on fire three point
eight percent growth in the second Gordon. I shouldn't say
on fire. The fire has started. Let me put it
like this, it's not on fire yet, meaning that this
already second quarter growth exceeding previous estimates is a hint
of what's to come so here we are. James Golden
is thirty Don't Go Away, Coming Back.
Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple

Speaker 6: House is unveiling a Presidential Walk of Fame featuring portraits
of US presidents, with the exception of former President Joe Biden.
The new display, just outside of the Oval Office along
the colonnade there shows a framed photo of an auto
pen writing Biden's signature in place of the former president's portrait.
The White House released a photo today of President Trump
looking at them.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry, these are the kind of things that
Donald Trump does. Then at some point, yes, I have
to say, because I revere the President's so much, I say, oh, jeez,
that's not presidential. That's not presidential at all. Yeah, I said,
we had this story yesterday, but I was too busy
with it. But when you see the lawn walking down
this long colony, every every American president from the beginning
forty some odd white dudes except for Obama, and then
you get to Joe Biden, and there's there's a pin.
And of course the liberals, which even more what's even
funnier is the reaction from there, just harump, harumph, and
I don't I don't blame them for.
Speaker 2: Bed, don't blame them for being room or room on
this one.
Speaker 5: These are so not presidential because nobody else would do this,
Nobody else would do this, but Donald Trump had put
the picture.
Speaker 2: When the history of this age is written.
Speaker 5: This story, that story of the auto pen photograph is
gonna be in there, and to future generations, it's going
to be funny as all get out. It's gonna become
one of those folklore things. I promised a story from Virginia,
and I'm gonna get to it because it ties right
in with this government shut down business. And then if we,
of course, we have the Democrats going nuts, trying to
get away from the rhetoric that they have said, most
of them over ice all that and more so, keep
it right here.
Speaker 4: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple
Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden on the
Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 3: So when Newsmax claims that you made seven million dollars
from stock trades, what are you talking about?
Speaker 7: News Max is, first of all, a very questionable organization
that is paying multiple fines. I'm not sure what they're
talking about.
Speaker 2: Did you make some lean in stock trades at all?
Speaker 7: Well, I I haven't answered. I don't believe I did,
but I'd have to go see what what that was
alluding to again, what kind of came from?
Speaker 2: Did you?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 2: Did you make the money? Is about that bad? I
don't know that.
Speaker 5: James Golden State, she's running for the governor of New
Jersey and that race is tied. By the way in
the polls, the New Jersey Governor's race is tied. The
Republican candidate there is kicking ass. First of all, straight shooter.
I saw a video of him the other day and
he's just like, look, I'm from New Jersey. He went
through his family history, being working people in New Jersey
growing up too. He says a lot of people use
the governor's race to step stone the bigger things.
Speaker 2: He says, this is it for me.
Speaker 5: I'm running New Jersey so I can fix the problems
in the state, and after that, I'm done. I'm gonna
retire do what I'm done. I don't aspire anything else
but to be the governor and fix the state of
New Jersey.
Speaker 2: He brilliant.
Speaker 5: This guy's really good and he's so so likable too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I know this, but I know
that he did really good at the debate that had
the other day that she was.
Speaker 2: Jack C.
Speaker 3: Darelli did really good at the debate that she wasn't.
Then Mikey wasn't able to answer a lot of controversial
and like important New Jersey questions. And I don't know
if this is true, but the post posted that she
cheated back in the Naval Academy.
Speaker 5: No Ah, you're bringing up the scandal.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, let's get that right. She did not.
Speaker 5: She says she wasn't able to walk to graduation at
the Naval Academy. She didn't walk the graduation. Now, the
story is that there was a huge cheating scandal, but
she's not accute. At least her version is she did
not cheat, But what she did was refused to snitch
on people in her class that had cheated, and that's
why they didn't allow her to walk because she was Now, look,
you're supposed toly by the honor code in in naval
like it's like West Point. Not only if you cheat,
but if you see somebody cheating. You're supposed to turn
him in, and that's the way it is. No if
fans a but no whatever. So you're supposed to be
a snitch. But I think a lot of people will
cut her some slack on that and just say, you know, yeah, yeah,
you didn't want to snitch out some of your class fellows.
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a dicey one, but you but
you think that Jack won that one.
Speaker 3: I definitely do think that he did because she she
she resembles a lot of the Kamala Kamala interviews that
you know, you know what I mean, her whole like
being in the army back. I'm sure it's a strong point,
but may not elaborating on it. No, she doesn't doesn't
look like she cares about New Jersey the same way
Jack projected.
Speaker 2: M Hm, I love this political athactly care about their race.
This thing's just like pump in front of me and
I see them.
Speaker 5: Boy, Carlos is turning out to be a political analyst,
And I love your analysis, Carlos, I really do. Okay
now and then so I'm hearing about the Winsome Sears
race now in Virginia, and that, my friends, is the
other story we went through, the Democrats having a hissy
fit because Donald Trump has apparently or could be checkmating
them in a way that they would never expect. I
cannot tell you how that warms my heart. Republicans have
been getting excuse me for being graphic with language, Republicans
have been getting their asses kicked by Democrats when it
comes to budgets, to government shut downs, to playing insider
political plays. Democrats know how to execute, and the dirtier
that their play is, the better they executed. For instance,
the Russian host, that's not something Republicans can put together
and execute. They don't have the they don't have the
capacity intellectually, mentally, evilly, whatever it is to do a
dirty trick like that and get it to stick. And
they don't have the infrastructure of being able to pull
it off within the government. And Republicans have always gotten
their asses kicked in terms of strategy with these budget shutdowns.
Donald Trump is the first Republican that I have ever
seen that had knows how to handle these people like
they thought they had him in check, and then he
turns around and puts them right back in check. Oh,
you guys want to shut down. They had Hakem Jeffries
out there whining and yelling. We have two Hakms. Let's
play bow Hakiens. Let's just play the one with the
shutdown first cut too. This is Hakeen Jeffries on shutdown.
Speaker 8: They have no solution. Republicans have no path forward. There
is no viable bill, and so the only path forward
at this moment is for us to have a bipartisan
conversation as to a spending bill that would actually meet
the needs of the American people.
Speaker 2: And we were on track.
Speaker 8: To have that conversation in the White House until Donald
Trump and the Republicans backed out. They're running scared. They
have no defensible position, and that's why, unfortunately they're marching
us to a government shutdown.
Speaker 2: Okay, great country.
Speaker 8: Whenever progress has been made, it has tricked a among
those interested in elevated white white premacy.
Speaker 2: This is ugly under.
Speaker 9: Realm in American's society. There was a progress of emanciation
and reconstruction followed by the backlash of Jim Burrow.
Speaker 5: Now, the first one was how came Jeffries. Republicans have
no viable bill. They already passed their bill, and it
is viable. What do you mean they have no bill?
They have a bill, they passed it in the House.
Democrats did not get a bill passed. Republicans did. And
then he says Donald Trump is running scared. He's running scared.
He just threatened to decimate the swamp if you guys
dare to shut down the government.
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like he's scured me. He don't seem scared.
Not in the least. He ain't scured.
Speaker 5: Oh wait a minute, I'm getting a note from the
language police officer off the show, My debuty Debbie. Don't
see what she says, James, please use another word. Oh
I think she's upset because I said Republicans got their
asses kicked, and she wants me to use another word.
All right, let me use another word. Republicans for decades
have gotten their timid little heinies handed to them. Every
time they used to try to pull some strategy move
with def they Democrats used to just circle because they're
so timid and so scared of being called names that
they wouldn't act and stick it right back and fight
the fight. Donald Trump is taking it to these people.
He's not scared of him.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: The second cut by the way that second cut was
at the Congressional Black Caucus, some function for the Congressional
Black Caucasians in Washington, and how King Jeffers was talking
about basically Democrat history. Play that second quote again, because
the second quote is all about Democrat Party history.
Speaker 2: Just just go ahead.
Speaker 8: In the great country of all whenever has been made,
it has alway triggered a backlash amongst those interested in
elevated white supremacy.
Speaker 9: This is ugly underrel In American society, there was a
progress of emancipation and reconstructions followed by the.
Speaker 2: Backlash of Jim Crow, the k and a lynching epidet. Okay,
stop right there.
Speaker 5: It was the emancipation who did the emancipation, Abraham Lincoln Republicans.
There was a backlash actually, and he's he's accurate about this.
There was a backlash with the white supremacists. And who
were the white supremacists The Democrat Party, the klu Klux
Klan Democrat Party, those people that bought Jim Crow, the
Democrat Party, including their president Woodrow Wilson, who resegregated the
federal government and would not allow them to hire black people,
and they still honor him in Washington, DC with some institution,
the Woodrow Wilson bab blab bline. The Democrats still go
around praising him as the big progressive. He's the one
that brought segregation, state sponsored segregation back, okay. And then
the klu Klux Klan, Well, the klu Klux Klan. We're
talking Democrats, Jim Crow, Southern Democrats, the lynching epidemic, Southern Democrats.
So everything he said he is, except he's not telling
the folks at the CBC. Let's talk about the history
of our party. And they still have their foot on
the next of minorities all over the country. Now, I
gotta do this because I promised it in the first segment.
Now this coast is we talked about the government showdown.
Government showdown. Oh boy, shutdown. It's going to shut down,
and all these workers now may be out of jobs.
There is an op ed in the Washington Post today,
what Doja sled Hammer did to Virginia's economy? And it's
written by this woman running for office, This woman in
Virginia running for office, Abigail Spanberger. You have some mint
Julius for Abigail. I'm just accent, she says in the
Washington proach, a reckless approach to governing has been bad
for jobs, the cost of living. Turn off the TV
or get online you met with talking heads reading political
TV's I'm not a pundit, but I can tell you
what I'm hearing in the communities across the Commonwealth. As
a candidate to serve as Virgina's next governor, Virginas won't
leaders focused on alleviating the squeeze of high energy bills.
Donald Trump is doing that, by the way, the fear
of being fired or laid off with no notice, and
the lay not worries over how to make mortgage and
rent payments. This month, number of Americans filing for unemployment
benefits jumped to the highest level, and they're the four years.
While this trend is playing out nationwide, Virgina has been
hit a specially hard by economic turmoil. Our unemployment rate
rose to seven consecutive months, longest streak since the two
thousand and eight financial crisis that Democrats calls incidentally, that's
me now, huh okay, mal Vr Jennings are looking for
jobs and cannot find them. Well, heart damn. That is
not good, is it? Folks? In July, when Virginia lost
all spot as Americus Top state for business see NBC
cited the economic fallout caused by Donald Trump's reduction of
the federal workfor us. These cuts and the economic effects
of Elon must disastrous Department of Government efficiency aren't just
hurting the more than three hundred twenty thousand federal workers.
Speaker 2: Let me repeat that, these cuts and.
Speaker 5: The economic effects of Elon Musk disastrous Department of Government
efficiency aren't just hurting the more than three hundred and
twenty thousand federal workers who call Virginia home. Business Owners
are seeing family cut back on spending, and the chaos
is threatening the states over all economy and the future.
Electing promising the University of Virginia forecast virtually no job
growth next year, business leaders and economists appointing to one
clear cause, the Trump Administration's attack on thousands of Virginia jobs.
And she goes on and on and on from there. Now, folks,
this is a hell of an admission. She's saying there's
no growth economic growth forecast in Virginia. Why, Because Virginia
has built its economy on the growth of government. That's
what she's saying. Government jobs are what fuels the economy
in Virginia. They've got three hundred and twenty thousand government
jobs and that's where you get these ultra rich suburbs
like Fairfax County, ultra rich liberal suburbs in Virginia, and
they're all fueled by government jobs, not by private sector
economy stuff, but by fueling this ever growing government.
Speaker 2: And that's what she's upset about.
Speaker 5: She's not out saying, you know what, we need to
diversify our economy and bring in private sector jobs that
will create job growth. She's writing this op ed to say,
we need a governor that's going to fight for bigger,
more government because government jobs are how we float up
as a state. And that, my friends, should disqualify her
from ever becoming the government.
Speaker 2: The governor of that state.
Speaker 5: The guy that's running the state now, Youngkin businessman, and
what he's been trying to do is bring businesses not
aligned with government into Virginia. She's crying and moaning and
admitting something that most Democrats would think twice of admitting
the federal government and all these liberals in government are
what's fueling and what they depend on in Virginia to
fuel their wealth, not on the people. But on ever,
the taxpayers of America funding government growth and government employees
and goodness, if we don't have government growing our economies
in Virginia is going to sink.
Speaker 2: Is her view.
Speaker 5: And let me tell you, I know that that's not
the view of winsom Seers, and it's not the view
of the current governor of the state, Governor Ynky. This
is a hell of an admission and this needs to
be put in her face at every single debate. And
if wins some series campaign had the money to do it,
they ought to run an add on this. It's not
the government, it's you, not the government that is going
to be responsible for the prosperity of Virginia. James Goldni's
