Speaker 4: I The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 5: On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 4: Attention, dittoheads, Attention bo scouts. Nedly, It's time for the
soul of excellence.
Speaker 6: He is a radio host here.
Speaker 4: In your the rush hour is on the air. Rush Now,
here's James Golden.
Speaker 6: This is not some talking point. It is not some
thought exercise. I've heard from families across the country who
are staring down unthinkable healthcare hikes, premiums doubling, tripling, worse.
I'm talking to people who learn their monthly premium is
jumping by hundreds and in some cases, thousands of dollars
a month. Americans who are making painful decisions, wondering how
they can cut down on groceries or gas or other
essentials to cover these rising premiums, or whether they will
just roll the dice and go without coverage, even if
it means skipping checkups or rationing prescriptions. This is not
some talking point. It is not some thought exercise. The
mega healthcare is a reality.
Speaker 3: So much. That's that Patty Murray, Ladies and gentlemen, the senataurus.
It's called the mom and tennis shoes because when she
first came to the Senate, she came into the Senate
with a bunch of other women in an election cycle,
and it was like, oh, yeah, the women are taken
over the mom and tennis shoes because she wore tennis
shoes and so what and just yes, welcome it is
the ones the addition of both and earlies rush hour
fastest oue on American business. Of course, what she's talking
about the votes to happen tomorrow in the Senate, the mouthing.
The debates are happening now over whether to adopt a
three year increase in subsidies that Democrats proposed and that
are sunsetting a gift of money to prop up their
failing Obamacare, or whether to adopt another plan that has
been put forth by two Republicans that would be a substitute.
The thinking, the handicapping, as it were, is that both
plans will fail, leaving the extended subsidies a moot point.
And I suppose if one had to pick the worst
of all alternatives that or the best of all alternatives
to just let them fail, well that may be it.
But there is panic in Washington, DC. I mentioned yesterday
that the Republican plan that was put forth it gives
people a lump some I'll go through the details again
if you want it gives people a lump thumb thousand
bucks here, fifteen hundred bucks there, depending on your age,
and then you have to and that money gets put
into seeds, a health savings account for people. But they
still have to buy into the bronze Obamacare package on Obamacare,
and so Chuck Schumer was particularly dismissive of that plan.
We have that, but it still leaves the failed Obamacare
in place, which is the problem. So I have no
idea how any of this is going to end out.
It all looks disastrous. Now, there are two other things
that are happening that I'm sure have Republicans panicked. One
is a small thing that you might not have heard of.
The other you've probably heard of in today's headlines, and
that is that Democrat Eline Higgins flipped the Miami's mayor's race.
She defeated a Republican mayor, Millio Gonzalez in Miami Youorami,
first time a Democrat. She's the first Democrat to become
mayor of Orami since nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: She best did mister Gonzales, the Miami City manager who
served on President Trump's Homeland Security Department transition team. To
In defeat incumbent Mayor Francis Suarez. Now that's a it's
listed as a nonpartisan race, but it's so it's the
latest it's the latest boost for Democrats and the DNC
chairman Ken Martin said of the victory to Night's result
yet another warning sign to Republicans that voters are fed
up with their out of touch agenda that is raising
costs for working families across the country. I don't think
that's what was going on in Urami. I think what
was happening is and I will say I think there
is a lot of speculation that perhaps the sizeable Cuban
American population little bit less enthusiastic about some of the
things the administration has done, including listing Kuba, although to
me it should make them happy as one of the
nations that we're not interested in, you know, in businesses. Also,
my friends in Joja, there was a state election. Democrats
flipped a House seat there in the red leaning district,
a House District one twenty one. Democrat Eric Geisler defeated
Republican mar Mack Guest the fourth They call it a
major upset. Trump won that district by twelve points last
year twelve points and a Democrat flipped it local House
seat there. But I'm sure that that is causing people
to worry and say, what are we headed for in
the upcoming mid year elections. Going back to the Obamacare
the subsidy issue, we have another one from Patty Murray.
We talked about this yesterday. I said this would send
Democrats off the wall, and indeed it was. She was
walking through the Capitol building Cut five and somebody asked
her about the bill that Republicans put up, and this
is what she said.
Speaker 6: Women cannot get access to abortions through their plan. I
don't see anyway that this helps the people that are
being hurt right now by the tax credits gone away.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you, thank you. What she said, in case
you didn't catch that really quick, was women can't get abortions.
Women can't. They're not going to allow tax funder a
tax funded abortions in the Republican plan, women won't have
access to get tax funded abortions. No, no, no, And
those are the two I saw. They're not poison pills.
It's supposed to be for those that don't know. At
the High Amendment was a law put in place by
Henry Hide, the erstwhile senator from chi Illinois, I believe,
and the High Amendment said, and Hide was a Democrat?
Was Hide a Democrat? I think Hide? Was it? Anyway?
Henry Hide? The High Amendment said, can't use federal dollars
to pay for abortions, and you're not supposed to be
able to use them. Well, with Obamacare, that's exactly what's happening.
Americans are funded it, but they have these insurance plans
offer access to abortion the taxpayers are not paying for.
So in the Republican plan, this put up no. And
there's also no money for gender reassignment surgeries. You want that,
you pay for it out of your own pocket, don't
stick it on taxpayers. And those are non starters for
UH for the non starters for Democrats. And they're going
to get support for that. While we're on Patty Murray,
and before we leave, the mom in tennis shoes also
be itching about something else. She's itching about the tariffs,
and that's cut six. And this is Patty Murray b
itching against Donald Trump and the tariffs.
Speaker 6: Canada is Washington State, My state's second largest export partner
and our largest source of international visitors, and I want
you to know this President Trump's trade war and insults
have driven away Canadian visitors to my state and to
other states. It has delivered a huge blow to our economy.
Passenger vehicle border crossings in my state are down more
than twenty four percent in the first ten months of
this year. Spokane, Washington. Eastern Washington saw a thirty three
percent drop in visitors this year. The operator of a
ferry between Seattle and Victoria, BC has been forced to
lay off now a quarter of its workforce because ridership
is down thirty percent in my state. Americans are losing
their jobs and our businesses are struggling. And I just
really believe, mister ambassador, we should not be picking fights
with our close allies and neighbors like Canada. This trade
war has been a terrible blow to American small businesses
and I hope it ends. It has to end. If
it could end tomorrow, it would be so much better
for my state than so many other people. I want
you to know that, especially with Canada, this is hurting
my statem.
Speaker 3: You know, never any how do the trade war start.
Canada has been a nation that has protected Henry Hyde
was a Republican. Thank you. I don't know why in
the world I thought Henry Hide could have been I
should have known just instinctively that no Democrat wouldever restrict
abortion anywhere. But he was from Illinois, Chicago, in the
Chicago area. That's right, Henry Hyde. Anyway, Thank you, Princess
Diana to the rescue. Anyway. You notice Canada has very
protected industries and Americans have been suffering because of it,
particularly the dairy industries and others where they've restricted American trade.
So never a word from this senator about the impact
on Americans. And while the trade war has benefit or
will benefit, how Canada has been taking advantage of us economically,
as has as have many other nations across the world. No, no, no,
because of the trade war and the insults, the insults
visitors to might think you have going do well. Just
hanged tight, Patty, TI your tennis shoes tighter and hold tight.
Things will get better. Look I don't. I have a
lot of friends that are Canadian and they're still my friends.
And you know all of that. There are bigger things
at work here, Patty Murray, and perhaps you should care
about those things as well, particularly how your country will
benefit from better trade deals, not just from our nearest
trading partners, Canada and Mexico, but around the world. James
Golden is nearly with you. Fastest our in American media,

James Golden's Nerdly with you here. You know on this
day in two thousand and eight, and I remember this,
and many of you that listen to the Rush Show
will remember this because we had fun with it. The
Associated Press reported on this day, two thousand and eight
that the US military was using loud music to create fear,
disorient and prolonged capture shock for some of the terrorist
prisoners being held at Club Gitmo at Guantanamo Bay, Club Gemo.
Among what they used to do is blast music to
these prisoners twenty four hours a day. Some of the
music that they were you and Democrats said, this is torture.
This is torture. Some of the musical selections that they
were blasting to you will believe the Democrats to torture.
Democrats said it again, this is torture, to torture the terrorists.
They were using Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen,
Hell's Bells by ac DC, White America by eminem, the
theme from Sesame Street, and they were using I Love
You from Barney and Friends TV show, blasted twenty four
hours a day. At the time, they had no idea
of a song that would because it wasn't created yet
that they could have used. We have that song today.
That song was used the other day, two days ago,
when Jasmine Crockett announced her candidacy at the candidacy when
she threw her wig in the ring, well, she threw
some of her hair in the ring when she made
that announcement. At that precious event, listeners were treated to this.
Speaker 8: She ain't never scared of, she ain't never been. Who
is willing to go toe to toe against the president.
I can't wrap my head around someone who votes Republican.
She advocate for feeding kids if they protect folks touching them,
Trump and baiting his own country with our army.
Speaker 3: What did show we remember.
Speaker 8: Pearl Harper by illegiality bombing boats, which'all thought we wasn't
gonna do nothing, buddy, think again. They only trying to
scare out her running because they think she'll win. Listen,
thought I told y'all win' never scared. Now.
Speaker 3: Look who name on the docket.
Speaker 8: Got two words for every racist bigot Jasmine Crockett, Jason Races.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that might be true on the history Last Blackly Blue.
Speaker 8: So sad you want to choose me? I hope my
money goes.
Speaker 3: Okay, No, please, I can't. I can't. I can see
how I could see. Imagine that blasting for an hour, No,
imagine that blasting for fifteen minutes. No, imagine that blasting
for five minutes non stop in your ears.
Speaker 4: We'll be back the Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining
and informative on the Red Apple podcast network. James Golden,
known popularly as both Nervely. This is the Rush Hour
with James Golden Rush.
Speaker 3: On this day in nineteen fifty two. Nineteen fifty two,
American actress Susan Day, known for her television role as
Laurie Partridge on The Partridge Family, was born, one of
the hits from the Partridge Family back in nineteen seventy.
I think I love you, and I had to make
sure that we had this right. You know, yesterday it
was a big blunder with the music, big big blunder.
We're talking about the Doors. I'm going on this. The
Doors did the Doors did this, and we've got the
Dire Straits playing underneath. So of course I threw Carlos
under the bus. It's my fault. I mean, in my emil,
I'm saying something's not right, something's not right. But I'm
just busy going on. I should have known, and I
should have known it was distract I didn't. It didn't compute.
I'm like, oh, he must have picked another. I threw
Carlos under the bus. So today I come in, I say, Carlos,
you know. Look, I'm halfway trying to apologize to Carlos.
I say, I don't maybe just double check everything. I
don't want to throw you under the bus, Carlos. I
don't care if you throw me under the bus. You
don't win. You don't win when you throw me other
because I know what happens if you ever pick on me.
Your listeners get ticked off at you, and they write
you and tell you how nasty you are. So don't
worry about me. Throw me under the bus all you
want to. You don't win. Gee, Carlos, Wow, Carlos, thank you.
I don't but it wasn't his fart. It was my fault.
And I just should have said that yesterday instead of
and thank goodness, Jim Robinson was listening Jim Robinson simeulte, Hey, hey,
you ought to know this song that's playing anyway, something
to listen to. Yesterday, folks, we played social media comments
from people, primarily African American, talking about the immigrant situation
in the country. SMaL. You know. Trump did a rally
last night in Pennsylvania and he once again repeated the
phrase that certain countries were s holes, among other things.
Today we have voices that are somewhat different. These things
pop up and I say, okay, I'm going to play them.
We do have one woman happens to be African American
again that wants to talk about the immigration. But we
hear today from two Somali women, and I thought one
of the comments was, Lady Carlos, Lady Benedicta has weighed
in your favor as well. It is true you don't
win Carlos rules. Okay, folks, I really would love to hear.
By the way, and now your princess is joined in too,
I can't I can't stand it. By the way, Princess
Diana will be with us tomorrow. She has agreed to
come on a rare weekday appearance from her Majesty, your Princess,
Carlos knows his power. Okay, okay, your highnesses, those of
you in the Royal court, I would love to hear
what you have to say about these two. And of
course America's small caffeinated Mom is just this is all
happening in real time. America's small caffeinated mom says, you
have full immunity for everything that you do. Stick it
all right. I would love to hear from my Royal
Court on what they think about some of the things
that these two different Somali women are saying. First cut ten.
This is a woman discussing assimilation into the US culture.
Speaker 7: So I heard this word a lot. They don't assimilate.
What kind of beautiful culture you have that I should assimilate?
The culture that leave their parents in the national home,
neglected emotionally, physically, and financially. This woman had you in
her timmy for nine months, grace you without question this man,
and put a food in your table, and you put
them in nursing home because you no longer need them.
So you're gonna shift them to nursing home or you're
going to leave the house that you grow up in.
And when they call you and they want to hear
from you, you will get editated and say what do
you need? Why where you call? Whether that's how that
is that culture? Will you want me to assimilate? No,
thank you. I have a Koran who guides me to
teach me how to take care of my parents, neighbors
and loved ones. This culture is a broken system.
Speaker 3: So this in case you didn't catch all of that.
She's very critical. Why should I assimilate to your culture,
in your culture. Thank you. Finally, finally I get somebody,
the countess of conspiracy. He said, send me a text.
I love you, James. Don't worry about don't worry about it.
I love you. You're good. Thank you, Countess. This woman has
identified This Somali woman says, why should I you think
you have a beautiful culture here in this country. Why
should I assimilate into your into your culture? She says,
you are the people that put your parents in nursing
homes when they grow old, you don't take care of them.
Your mommy had you in her tummy for nine months.
She took care of you without questions. She took care
of you. Your daddy put food on your table, work
for you. He took care of you. And when you
grow older, what do you do to your parents? You
shove them in a nursing home and forget about them.
And even when you leave home and your parents call you,
you get irritated with your parents. You just you don't
want to be bothered with them. Why in the world,
And she says, we have a Koran that teaches us
to love our parents and teaches us how to be
responsible to our parents and take care of our parents
when they get old, to take care of our ooh ooh, ooh.
I'm getting one response already. We have, she says, a
karan that teaches us to take care to basically honor
our parents, to honor our family and our loved ones.
You people in America, your culture teaches you to throw
away your parents when you don't need them anymore. So
why should I assimilate to your culture? That's number one.
Number two is somewhat longer. Be patient and work your
way through this with me, folks. That is cut eleven.
Speaker 9: First things first, I'm actually so shocked that Trump is
attacking us. I think Trump should be thinking us in
multiple ways, and I'm gonna explain. First things first, I
think we are a good example of what the American
dream can look like, like some my Americans, and it's
making me sad. It's funny, like I know someone who
are very funny.
Speaker 6: We're like the.
Speaker 9: Class clan who also happens to be Valuatorian. Somai's in
Minnesota are so successful. I take multiple trips a year
to Minnesota and I leave so inspired. You have some
my only like some my own law firms, some my
owned pharmacy, some myown everything you can think of, and
it's so inspiring to see that what my community could
do in just thirty years. Literally we came to this
country and not speaking English, not anything. We're black, Muslim,
we're immigrant, and we're able to be that successful. It
should be really a plaud Like I need Trump to
stand up and applot for us because it's shocking. Literally,
my friend just moved to Minnesota and she was telling
me how when she gave birth, it was an all
Samali staff. Her midwife was someone, her doctors were someoning,
her nurses were Somalia. Like that is so beautiful to
see and it should be celebrated.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 9: Second of all, Trump, you should be thanking my people
for giving a random Midwestern state that much cloud and money.
Like I don't think other than Chaga, I think Minnesota
is really popping when it comes to tourism because of
Somali Americans like my me, like me. Okay, so you
should be thanking us because Minnesota would have been nothing
if someoneyes didn't move there. Like if we're being honest,
like we had made that state pop and we have
made it beautiful for the rest of the world, so
you should thank us, and if you want, you can
donate Minnesota to the great country of Somalia, like I
think it's a it's a nice trade off. And last,
but not least, I'm so happy that people are discovering
how funny, witty, Smali people are. We're very confident.
Speaker 3: And although Trump said what he had to say, like.
Speaker 9: I want him to know ye'a ney like, it didn't
even like bother like, it didn't do anything to our confidence.
We've heard everything you've said before. People always make fun
of samal ya da da da, But I still think
I'm better than everyone, like God has made me slim himma,
Like I'm okay, I have an age, I'm okay, I'll
talk about I'm smalling American Broskie like I'm winning on
both sides. But yeah, it's just nice to see that
everyone's realizing Slam people are very funny, very confident, and
that's never gonna change.
Speaker 3: It has not changed.
Speaker 9: Since Colonial Day's Baby Boy, and it's not gonna change
because somebody right now decided to make fun of us.
We're actually winning the war. So but yeah, that's all
I have to say.
Speaker 3: We're actually winning the war. Mmm, I didn't know there
was a war. Okay. A few things about this video.
One thing she says that I would love for many
of my fellow African American native born Americans to hear.
First of all, let's just dispel some of the things
that she said. First, the majority of the eight hundred
thousand of Somalis that came here are in some way
or another, from what I understand from on some sort
of another of government benefits. So as a large point
part of that population, many of them are accessing benefits.
So they're not all entrepreneurs that she seemed to say.
And and she also said this, it's Minneapo Minnesota, some
random state out there that wouldn't be in Minnesota, wouldn't
be nothing without this amount. It's nothing. It was nothing
before the Somalis. Get we made some Minnesota the state
that it is nothing. Nothing existed in Minnesota before the
Somalis came in. Let me dispel those two things.
Speaker 7: Hu.
Speaker 3: All the comments are rolling in from the Royal the
arrogance is off the charge, watch out for those no
go zones. Sure he is ivan well in Minneapolis. The
American taxpayer can't afford to take care of multiple generations,
while we're supporting so many not born here who believe
they're entitled the benefits, including fifty percent of the Somalians
who are on welfare. And then we need to cut
the aid that she's getting in support our elderly and
our veterans. And the first one was to that first
woman who was complaining, why should I assimilate you people
throw your parents away in nursinggo So why did she
come here in the first place? If you love this, Okay,
those are some of the comments. However, let me just
say this about that the second woman. She talks about
the pride that she has in going to Minnesota and
seeing so many professionals from the Somali within thirty years
owning their own businesses and having a strong entrepreneurial background
or professional background that is possible in America, and the
fact that a percentage of the Somali population is doing
that ought to tell those Americans who sit on their
haunches with their hands out, and especially let me be
really straight and to the point, especially the black Americans
who sit here pointing outward and saying it's the system,
the system, the white man. This the white man that
the system. This the system that there are people around
the world who understand this country and the opportunities that
it does have if you want to succeed, if you
have the desire and the ambition to succeed. And it's
just a shame that sometimes we have to listen to
people who have come here and within one generation have
figured it out, while so many people who have families
have been here for centuries now are still sitting down
blaming others for their problems or that happy note. I'll
take a break, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 4: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush
Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative.
Speaker 5: On the Red Apple podcast network.
Speaker 4: It's the Rush Hour with James Golden. Now your's James Golden.
Speaker 3: You know. As an offshoot to the things that we
just played, we're having an internal discussion here the Royal
Court and I as to who are the greatest scammers
and and we'll have to figure that out and get
back to it. Let me tell me. I wanted to
ask you to join Red Apple d Networks, AARP New
York City, the Police athletically, Ristides and Dugostino Supermarkets and
nationwide imaging services as we deliver holiday meals to more
than five thousand families across New York City. Go to

Your donation helps put a meal on the table, a
holiday meal. What a beautiful thing is that for people
in need. That's Redappleaudionetworks dot com slash Turkey, Red Apple
Audio Networks dot com slash Turkey. So we're having a
discussion here about scammers as a one thing that the
Somali scammers. You know, by the way, there's this it's
opening up in Maine too. Apparently there's a lot of
scamming going on in Maine too with within that universe
of population, and that's just now starting to come to light.
And I said, well, you know one thing that taught
me up until now, I thought that those segments of
the Nigerian scammers who scam had the scam markets locked up.
Those are the ones with the email thing. You know,
if you put ten thousand dollars ago, we have all
this money for you if you just go to the
bank and send us something that we'll send you the
rest of the money. We just need all those elaborate
email scams the Prince. Those guys said, well they got
it locked up. No, the Nigerian scammer don't have this
locked up anymore. And then Dinah said, don't forget the Clintons,
though they're number one scammers of all time. Well, wait
a minute, what about Newsom? Well Newsom with the high
Speed and the fire Charity. Well, no, what about the
Bidens and Ukraine's and Lensky, what about Pelosis? What about
the Democrat had the gold bars in the refrigerator? That
was William Jefferson out of out of New Orleans area.
And then it's like, wait a minute, we gotta think
about this anyway, folks. On this day in nineteen sixty seven,
the great, great R and B soul singer, superstar songwriter
Otis Redding passed away. He was killed in a plane
crash twenty six years old. Also killed with him were
most of the members of the Barkay's Soul Finger and
they were the house band for a lot of the
Stacks records. One member and they reformed the Barkays and
made it into a great group. Anyway. Posthumous number one
single for otis Redding. We gotta go. May God bless
protect each and every one of you, your families, your
loved ones, love and gratitude for your being here with me,
allowing me to be with you. God willing back tomorrow
with Princess Diana too. Until then, I bid you, I
do bye.
