Speaker 4: I James Golden Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 5: And I'm Jake Novak here in New York waiting on
James and vote to show up.
Speaker 1: Same guy.
Speaker 5: Of course, I wanted to make sure you're up on
all the stories of the day. Just here we are
right now at four pm, just after four pm Eastern
time here in the United States of America. As of now,
the ceasefi rates in the United States and Iran still holding,
despite the fact that Iran has had three of it
chips hit by US naval assets in the region. Three
Iranian flagships trying to break the US blockade not a
good idea. They got slammed. And of course, yesterday, at
this time, we were learning that the US had hit
a number of targets, relatively lightly compared to what we
saw several weeks ago before the ceasefire went into effect,
But those attacks were in response to Iran's threatening and
military actions in the Strait of Hormus, including trying to
fire on US naval ships. They also hit a Chinese tanker.
All of this, I'm just telling you now, the ceasefire
in name at least is still holding. And if you're
wondering about the folks with skin in the game, the
folks with money in the game, sometimes they tell the truth.
A lot more than politicians do. They're taking await and
see cautiously optimistic approach to it. Looking at the price
of oil. Now, oil ended its active trading at two
thirty Eastern time, but it's still going on in futures trading.
And you know what, it hardly moved it all today.
Ninety four dollars and eighty cents the barrel, something like that,
between ninety four and ninety five dollars a barrow. That's
where we were this morning, folks. So the folks with
skinning the game, just taking this instride, watching it, not
going to move their money too much time one way
or the other. Hey, James is here, James, so glad
we're hearing you.
Speaker 1: Now, welcome my friends, both severally especial our fastest hour
in American media. Having a few technical difficulties that we
will try to work out, but in the meantime you
can hear me, and so that's all we need. It
has been an incredible day, especially in the state of
Virginia what we thought. And if you hear some stuff
in the background, just ignore it because I'm having to
try to Just like I said, technical stuff. It has
been an incredible day. My friends in the state of Virginia,
as you know by now, the attempt by Democrats to
jerry mander that state has royally backfired. In addition to that,
yesterday we had Tennessee redistrict and that set off def
Con five in the Democrat Party protest. It looked like
an insurrection protest in the chamber. It was just insane.
So we have all of that. We have results from
across the pond. They had elections, although they were local elections,
but still it was a total repudiation for Ketstama. So
those are just the beginning. There are other things the
UFO release. We're gonna spend some time with that tomorrow,
hopefully on the Saturday Morning Extravaganza. I hope you are
all here for it. Let us begin with this cut
four Carlos. This Fox News report from earlier today on
the great news coming out of Virginia from.
Speaker 6: The Virginia State Supreme Court ruling the process to redraw
that state's congressional maps is unconstitutional. They had a referendum
on this state wide. Shannon Breen is here to join
instant reaction. Shannon, welcome to our coverage. Good day to you,
a couple of things here just come to mind. Barack
Obama was out there campaigning to make sure people were into.
Speaker 1: This issue, and we'll get out.
Speaker 6: It passed, but not by a lot, but it did pass,
and it would have effectively Democrats, believe made it ten
to one Democrats to Republicans. I think the current figuration
is six to five.
Speaker 1: Right, So this is thrown out. Is that the end
of the line for Shanna?
Speaker 7: It sounds like it.
Speaker 8: Because this was an issue of the Virginia Constitution, it
was a state law issue, and critics of this referendum
have said from the beginning that Democrats were on thin
ice because they did not follow procedures as outlined by
state law and state constitution. And what the court ended
up saying here is that violation irreparably undermined the integrity
of the entire voting referendum. So it makes it null
and void. And for that reason, they say the congress
district maps issued by the court in twenty twenty one,
the old maps are the ones that they've got to
use for the upcoming congressional election. Now, this was the
state matter of Virginia's Supreme Court, the highest court in
that state. It's a Commonwealthill remind you made this decision. Now,
it's not out of the realm of possibility that challengers
to this decision would try to find some federal hook
for it, to try to get to the Supreme Court
to say that there is some US constitutional violation in
the way that this ruling was made. It's a very
tough ask, but I wouldn't be surprised if they try
to do it, because what have you got to lose
at this point.
Speaker 1: Well, what they have to lose is face.
Speaker 9: I didn't have time to pull the KM Jeffrey's sound bite, right,
I've run right afterwards, and he went to the podium
and he said FAFO and we've got you. And then
for like forty eight hours there was news coverage saying, well,
the Democrats really flipped the script of redistricting on the president.
Then this week the President won those races in Indiana.
Speaker 7: To try to put.
Speaker 9: That back in, you had Tennessee do what it did,
You had the Supreme Court just last week. And so
now I sort of feel that the Virginian Democrats irritated everybody,
made everybody mad, and then they lost, and so what
they could lose is one self respect maybe, but also
funding and the seats that they thought they were going
to win.
Speaker 8: Yeah, in the momentum, because you mentioned all of those
things are such huge developments. That Calay decision out of
the Supreme Court last week triggered what we just saw
in Tennessee. Alabama's going to make a run out it.
Louisiana has to South Carolina maybe in the mix. So
while Democrats have seen to be gaining sort of a
net advantage and a lot of what they've done in
the redistricting, and they point to Republicans, you guys started
this in Texas. Those decisions and this one today that
just landed, they are big wins for Republicans.
Speaker 1: They are huge wins for Republicans, my friends, not just
big wins and another Hue. Well, I'll tell you what.
Princess Dine the last weekend when she was on the
Saturday Morning Extravaganza said Democrats had experienced the first week
politically in our lifetimes. That combined with what has happened
this week, these guys have not been winning on the
big front. This Supreme Court decision coupled with this Virginia decision. Oh,
Gavin Newsom immediately ran out and started crying about the
decision in Virginia being rigged. I have the story somewhere here,
and it's just astounding rigged. This guy, Gavin Newsom, rigged
from it here. It is right here. It's in the
Hill dot Com today. Newsom accuses MAGA of rigging election
after Virginia decision. California Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday accused
MAGA Republicans of rigging an election after Virginia Supreme Court
ruled against state democrats new congressional map Virginia's voter approved
maps thrown out. He wrote, MAGA has rigged the system.
How did MACA rig the system? They have a vote,
But anyway, this is coming from Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom
presides over one of the most gerrymandered states in our Union,
where Republicans don't have a say in anything in terms
of state election, they have no say. Gavin Newsom presides
over a state with well over a million illegal immigrants,
which gives the Democrats in that state House seats that
they do not deserve. That is a rig Gavin Newsom
presides over a state that just redid their maps and
re rigged the and he's complaining. Now, what does he
mean by margaret, I don't know. I assume that he's
uh singling out the Virginia Supreme Court justices. As of
twenty twenty six, the Supreme Court in Virginia is considered
to have a Republican leaning majority. Like this ruling was
a four to three ruling. The justices are officially elected
by the state legislature. They are not elected by the
popular vote. A majority of them were selected when Republicans
controlled the General Assembly. That is not rigging. That is
called democracy. The people elected Republicans. Republicans have the opportunity
to elect judges to the bench. They did so. The
court has a reputation for being conservative, merit based, or
engaging in nonpartisan decision making, but people often characterize it
as having a Republican appointed majority. That's democracy. So this
four to three ruling today was on the basis of
what was the constitution. Democrats are not arguing, none of them,
that the decision was wrong on its merits. Virginia lays
out how a redistricting effort is supposed to be done.
It also lays out how a legislative session, a special
session is supposed to be caught. Democrats ignored the rules
of how to call a special session and they got
busted for it. That's not rigging anything, it's following the law,
something that Democrats apparently are not used to.
Speaker 4: The James Golden Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
The James Golden Show Entertaining and Informative on the Red
Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, let us revisit our dear friend
in the House other than ha King Jeffreys. And this
was earlier when he was urging people to vote that
would be cut six time foot Neil.
Speaker 10: We're urging everyone to vote yes to stop the MAGA
power grab. And the voters of Virginia have an opportunity
to ensure that there's a fair national congressional map, because
we believe that it's the voters of Virginia and the
people of this country who should decide which party is
in the majority in the aftermath of the midterm elections,
not Donald Trump and his extreme MAGA sick offense and
state legislative bodies across the country who were ordered by
Donald Trump to jerrymanner the national congressional map as part
of their effort to rig the midterm elections. This effort
has failed because Democrats haven't stepped back.
Speaker 1: We fought back right. And of course you remember the
infamous quote about maximum warfare that has cut seven. Let
us remember that on this beautiful day.
Speaker 10: Maximum warfare everywhere, all the time, in connection with the
redistrict in battle that Republicans launch. I stand by it.
You can continue to criticize me for it. I don't
give a damn about your criticism.
Speaker 1: Well, you may not give a damn a better criticism,
but I know one thing you give a dame about.
Play cut too. This is what you give a damn
about today. Hachien Ballan walk us through this ruling.
Speaker 8: Why did the court ultimately strike it down?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so the Supreme Court here, the Virginia State Supreme Court,
is striking this map down on procedural grounds. They are
saying that the mechanism that the state legislators used to
call the special session to actually draw this map was
invalid under the state's constitution. Now, of course, this session
was called by the state Speaker of the House, but
in Virginia in order to call a special legislative session
like the one that was used to create this map,
either the governor needs to call it or a two
thirds majority of both houses in both houses of the
state legislator need to call that session. So this Supreme
Court is upholding a lower court, a lower state court's
ruling saying that that mechanism for the state speaker to
call this special legislative session was invalid, and so therefore
the map that they produced during this legislative session was
in valid.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's all invalid. Here's the thing, the Constitution of Virginia. Actually,
the Democrats, for them, constitutions don't matter unless they want
it to for something. They will cite the Constitution on
certain things, but for the most part, it doesn't matter.
The Constitution doesn't matter when they're discussing like in Colorado.
Colorado has just looked at the Second Amendment and pretty
much torn it up in their drive to regulate people's
not only weapons but ammunitions. That's going to be in
the Supreme Court, no doubt. When you look at the
very notion of sanctuary cities violates the Constitution, as do
sanctuary states, but they don't care. They will proceed along
their merry way. In fact, New York I think we
discussed this yesterday. New York has a budget that they
claim Kathy Hoko claims is being delivered, although some are
disagreeing that the budget is actually in place. But a
lot of this budget concerns Ice. For instance, you can't
They're gonna tell Ice where they can and cannot go.
They're gonna tell Ice you have to take off the mask.
You have to do this. That is a blatant, a
blatant attack on the Constitution of the United States. The
federal government has supremacy over state governments and over city governments.
So this is something that the Democrats do quite often.
They ignore the Constitution when it's convenient. But thankfully the
Virginia Supreme Court did not ignore the Constitution of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. And today Democrats are looking, how shall
we say, well, not like winners. We'll be right back.
Speaker 4: The James Golden Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network
to The James Golden Show Entertaining and Informative on the
Red Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: James Golden's thirdly with you here. I want to continue
very quickly with some analysis on this momentous decision in Virginia.
The thing that I love most about it two weeks
ago when they passed this Democrats and were gleeful the
MS now crowd the scene that they were gleeful. In fact,
there were stories, and I reported on one from the Hill.
There were questions about Mike Johnson, How did you get
out spent on this? The Democrats outspent you. The Democrats
outspent you by a lot. How did that? How was
that allowed to happen? The Democrats apparently, my friends have
spent in excess of sixty seventy perhaps higher million dollars
on this redistricting vote in Virginia today. That's sixty million
dollars that they could have used in the general election
in the midterms in November has been spent for nothing.
In addition to that, what happens to voters. You get
people all revved up. They go out, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we can and beat those nasty Republicans. We hate Maca.
We're in it. We're in and we district and we
can a beat Donald Trump unto reg Hack wearing Marca
get the magget and whatever else they call. They have
a lot of names. So they've gone out, they got
emotionally invested in it. They went out, they voted, they won,
they celebrated, they were celebrating loudly, and then two weeks
later the rug is pulled out from under them. No,
you didn't win, You won nothing. You wasted your time,
you wasted your money, you wasted your enthusiasm. Now, I
don't know whether that will serve as a suppressant or not.
They're bound to be some people. In fact, there was
a funny video of I'll try to get the audio
of it tomorrow. Didn't they have time to do it today?
There's a funny video of one lone woman. She's got
she's a little bit chunky on the chunky side, doesn't matter,
chunky's nice. But she has her pocketbook and some high
heels apparently or no, I don't know whether high heels
or Niggas couldn't tell that one anyway. She's walking outside
the Virginia Supreme Court House where the Supreme Court meet.
She's walking outside by herself. One man, old man is
like with a cane going into the courthouse. Outside of that,
on the street, there's nobody, and she's walking up and
down the street. Shame on you, shame on you for
taking away blah blah. I'll see what And she's just
ranting and raving to herself. A bus passes by and
you can't hear her for a minute, and then it's
the bus passes and she's still ranting by herself alone
outside the Virginia Supreme Courthouse, the Supreme Court Courthouse, by
her lonesome. It is. I don't want to gloat over that.
I just think it's symbolic. You repped up people, and
now there's this big letdown. How do you recover after
such a big letdown? So there are other things Tennessee. Okay,
where do we start with Tennessee? I know, let's start
as the best place to start in Tennessee is with
the women. You remember this woman often Bane that was
running for state I think she was either running for
the Senate or whatever in Tennessee. Ating she lost, She's
still in the state legislature. Aften Bane cut ten This
was aften Bane. She released a video today in the
aftermath tech of Tennessee redistricting.
Speaker 11: Today was really hard, in fact, excruciating bone crunching. Sad,
the Tennis legislature passed new congressional maps to eliminate our
last democratically held congressional seat in the state of Tennessee,
while our Republican colleagues in the Senate and the House
laughed and looked on one I want to think the
I want to thank each and every one of you
who showed up to the capital the last few days,
who called in sick, who left work to join us
and observe the degradation of our democracy.
Speaker 1: Against tyranny.
Speaker 11: And with all of us, we see you, and we're
grateful for you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I
want to say thank you to the legislative staff, to
the organizers and activists that lost sleep and ensured that
today was one that the state will never forget, and
that history of.
Speaker 1: Books you'll write about you. Thank you.
Speaker 11: And to my colleagues, you know, I would have loved
to have engaged in some civil disobedience, but this moment
requires us to be accomplices. And what that means is
that you step back, especially if you're a white person,
you step back and you elevate black voices and black leadership.
And so that is.
Speaker 1: What is saying is I would love to do civil disobedience,
but in this moment, we have to step back. We
white people step back and let black people step forward.
I'm giving me, white girl, I'm giving black people permission
to step forward. Go ahead, go ahead, Black people, you
step forward. I'm directing you because of course, you know,
I still think i'm your massa. But could you could
you give me julip by the way on your way
to step up? But you black people, we have to
just stand aside for a minute and let the doctor doctor,
let the dog skin people talk because because because this
is their moment for outrage. So so I'm I'm acting bang,
nice little liberal girl, but we're gonna stand aside because
I would like to be like breaking up stuff and
like having a Karen moment, but this is this is
the moment to let black people speak. So go ahead,
black people, you have my permission to speak.
Speaker 11: That was more important to me was to ensure more
space for black leadership and black voices.
Speaker 1: And so I was busy organizing.
Speaker 11: I'm sure you all saw me running around on my
phone trying to ensure that testimony was covered, uh, preserve
in thecy code, annotated and perpetuity, uh, and that things
ran smoothly. And so for those of you that have
done your own organizing, you understand that these events don't
happen in a vacuum. So, uh, what's going to happen next?
I am so enraged. I'm so full of rage. And
what I want you to able to understand. Tennessee is
not hopeless. The state is not hopeless. We are a
state that abolished the convict leasing system.
Speaker 1: We are a state it was.
Speaker 11: The encompassed the intellectual capital of the civil rights movement.
I know a lot of you feel like Tennessee is
a hopeless place right now, but you have to also reconcile.
We are a state of beginnings, hostibilities for state that
birth the ten valutory We are a state that can
come together and do a big and bold thanks and
right now I'm asking you, as you are feeling like
the world is collapsing and closing in, to radically re
imagine what is possible right now. And we are not
going to In fact, I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 11: So sleep, sleep up, get some sleep. Tomorrow's a new day.
I'm very proud of you. Let's keep fighting.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Afton, Thank you so much. We appreciate you,
and we especially appreciate you letting given permission for the
black people to step forward. So that they can speak
a little bit often. Even though you went on and
on now one of the interesting moments. I'm just wondering
if we should do this for the Clip of the day.
I think maybe we will. It is a very it
takes a while, but I think we have to put
two in there for the Clip of the day because
this one is is just special. There are two clips,
my friends, in today's Clip of the day. There are
two Justin's out here. One guy's name is Justin Jones.
The other guy's name is Justin Pearson. Both Justin's are
in the Tennessee State House, and both Justin's were very,
very very upset with what happened. So I'm gonna just
tell you that's gonna be our clips of the day.
We're gonna hear from the It's gonna be the Justin
brother Well they're not brothers, but they I mean, it
depends on how you want to use the word brothers,
like you know, like your brother, what's up? Brother? Like
they that's the kind of brothers. They did, like the
Justin brothers. So yo, So we will do that. Meanwhile,
I want to very quickly turn our attention to overseas,
to kettle Stammer. We are not going to have time
to listen to the whole thing, but I want you
to listen to a GB News report as the elections
results were just coming in. They weren't all in, but
this was cut seventeen. This is GB News as the
election results last night in the UK. These are local
elections all over for this councils, for the so forth.
It's like citywide elections, that's what they are, but it's
all over England. It's not the MP's, it's not the
members of Parliament there next, but these are the local
elections and they are huge. They make a big difference
over there. Here you go, Cut seventeen GB News from
across the pond. If you're a Labor voter.
Speaker 12: Now high behind the sofas, we've got some breaking news
in analysis now of all the seats far declared new
the ten councils have fully declared their seats, the Labor
Party has worn only seventeen percent one seven seventeen percent
of the seats it was defending. Fag packet math time
eighty three percent loss eighty three math time. Bear in
mind I just told you moments ago pretty historic former
loss we've got to get we've got got to get
the specs out of this one. Sixty six percent was
the former worst loss in twenty twenty five eighty three
eighty three percent loss ten councils who fully declared their results.
Labour's won only seventeen percent of the seats. Reform, however,
so far, has won fifty six percent of the seats.
It was contesting that. Bear in mind, Reform wasn't defending
any seats. Every seat is a fresh seat now a
even at the form UK leader Nigel Faroll has told
TV News at the party's Millbank towers, I think what
you're witnessing is an historic change in British politics forgets
left right. There is no more left right.
Speaker 1: It is good. Okay, So here's my friends is to
be here? When my friends is the skinny, he's the rub.
Here's the thing. Apparately, Chris Starmer has just about politically
topped himself. He's topped himself politically. You know, he's out
today saying look, I've got responsibility here. I'm not gonna
run away from it. Yeah. These were hard resorts, Yeah
they were They were hard, very hard, in fact, harder
than anything I've been able to come up within me
life apparently hard hard heard, but I'm gonna stick it
out because people elected me. And even though my party
so far lost eighty three percent of the seats that
we were defending eighty three percent last and the upstart,
the big news and all this, by the way, it
has been labor conservative, Labor conservative, Labor Party, Conservative Party.
That is not what happened here. The third party that
would be the equivalent in the stants here of the
Ross Paral Party. That would be like the Libertarians pulling
off a massive win of l fifty three bloody percent
of the It's massive, it's huge, it's astronomical, it's big.
We gotta take a break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 4: The James Golden Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
The James Golden Show Entertaining and Informative on the Red
Apple Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: Sure, yes, my friends, it is almost time for the
cuts of the day, but we have one more. I
promised you to you. I'm gonna give you three over performance.
It's cool, you see, Yes, so let us turn and this, folks,
is quite interesting. Tennessee. All you're hearing is they are
taking away the black district. They're taking away black, black black,
They're all you hear. I bet many of you haven't
heard this about the district. Do you know you would
think that this is all black district? You know who
the congressman is, way, dude, Cohen? We have Steve Cohen,
And do you know who might be who's polling well
after on the Republican side. Let's check in with Leah
moynihan on seeing it and cut a very quickly. She
had listened to the response. She gets to this.
Speaker 11: A little ironic that the woman now who is likely
going to win the ninth district in Tennessee is a
black Republican women.
Speaker 9: As a result of this redistricting effort, it's.
Speaker 11: Likely going to be a black Republican woman who beats
that old white man.
Speaker 10: Could I make this.
Speaker 1: Actually is we're going to take it so a black
woman might win this? And she asked the question is
that racist? Say you get to yes, it's racist. If
a black woman wins the seat, the white man deserves
the seat, not the black woman. I'm telling you, this
is today's Democrat Party. Now the cuts of the day,
Let's go to the Justin Brothers first Democrat Representative Justin Pearson.
He's walking out of the chamber. He puts his face
directly like face up into a state troopers's face. Cut twelve.
And this is what he says. He's calling the trooper
every kind of mf what's wrong with you? Boy? Now
imagine if this white trooper that he's talking to like
this had called him boy. There would be a national
meltdown right now in every liberal media outlet in the
country and perhaps overseas as well. But it's okay. Cut
number two. The other Justin brother this is Justin Jones,
another representative that would be yes. Cut eleven. Now, let
me explain what's happening here. Brother Justin Jones of the
Justin Brothers is burning a Confederate flag. He has a
small Confederate flag, looks to be about two feet by
maybe something. He's in the legislature, He's in the legislative building.
He's in the capitol. He lights it on fire in
the building, huge crowd around, and then after it burns,
he throws it on the floor and starts stomping on it.
As he's burning a flag inside the legislature. This is
what democrats are doing around him, Yes, that's it. Just
keep going. They're going nuts. You have a guy burning
a flag. Oh my friends, what can I tell you? Yes? Indeed,
well here's the deal. We have so much more, if
God willing we here tomorrow.
