in case you didn't, if you're 38 00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:17.729 up late, stick around until 2 or 3 o'clock in 39 00:02:17.770 --> 00:02:19.909 the morning. We got more ass kick for you. It 40 00:02:19.949 --> 00:02:23.409 was just nonstop ass kick all night long. 41 00:02:24.590 --> 00:02:29.020 Yes, I love that you are not into pity parties 42 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.439 right now because, you know, one of the advantages of 43 00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.479 the fact that we have been around a while, James, 44 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.830 is that we have been through this before. 45 00:02:38.849 --> 00:02:38.919 Yes. 46 00:02:40.909 --> 00:02:43.370 One of the things I want to say to the 47 00:02:43.430 --> 00:02:48.150 younger conservatives listening that, you know, to talk them off 48 00:02:48.189 --> 00:02:50.669 the cliff, this is not the end of the world. 49 00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:53.210 It is not the end of America. We lost a 50 00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:57.750 midterm election. We lost it handily. But, you know, this 51 00:02:57.849 --> 00:03:00.639 is something that we have seen before in our lives. 52 00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:03.539 You and I, we have lost, you know, it feels 53 00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:08.289 bitter to lose an election. However, There is going to 54 00:03:08.349 --> 00:03:13.659 be opportunities going forward. And as Rush always said, you know, 55 00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:15.219 it is never time to panic. 56 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.580 Now, let me just add something. I agree with that. 57 00:03:18.620 --> 00:03:21.780 In fact, I have a column today in the Daily BS. 58 00:03:21.860 --> 00:03:25.439 We lost an election. We haven't lost America. Republicans, we 59 00:03:25.659 --> 00:03:29.960 are not screwed, period. Now, some things are really not good. 60 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.099 The governorships that are gone. You know, at one point 61 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.669 we had Democrats only had 16 governorships. They have doubled that. 62 00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:44.580 But some of those guys will mitigate the damage on that. 63 00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:49.020 The House is going to be overwhelmingly Democrat, which means 64 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.180 they will pass a lot of Democrat legislation. It will 65 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.759 go to the Senate, where unless they get rid of 66 00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:59.419 the filibuster, it will die. Democrats will try to get 67 00:03:59.460 --> 00:04:03.039 rid of the filibuster, I predict. They're not going to 68 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.389 be timid like John Thune was. and trying to get 69 00:04:06.430 --> 00:04:08.629 rid of the filibuster if they think that they have 70 00:04:08.669 --> 00:04:12.199 a political advantage in it. And if they think that 71 00:04:12.620 --> 00:04:18.199 that would get them a step closer to having, they 72 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.459 still can't, from what I understand, even if they get 73 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.060 rid of the filibuster, I

don't believe that they can 74 00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:25.670 override the president's veto on that, and I'm going to 75 00:04:25.689 --> 00:04:26.670 have to look into that. 76 00:04:27.470 --> 00:04:28.870 Well, they need two-thirds. 77 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.480 They need two-thirds to override the veto. 78 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.040 So even if they got rid of the filibuster, they 79 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.810 still couldn't override the veto. 80 00:04:37.490 --> 00:04:41.649 So let me say— Unless Republicans join them. 81 00:04:44.689 --> 00:04:48.370 Please don't make me vomit. I've been in a good mood. 82 00:04:48.389 --> 00:04:53.470 I'm in a great mood. Most of the Republicans that 83 00:04:53.490 --> 00:04:55.089 would join them got wiped out. 84 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.250 Yes, you're absolutely right about that. But one of the 85 00:04:59.290 --> 00:05:01.790 things that's going to be fascinating to me is we 86 00:05:01.870 --> 00:05:05.829 are about to see what the Senate can do when 87 00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:09.139 the people who run the Senate are not afraid to 88 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.889 use their power. And so the contrast is going to 89 00:05:12.949 --> 00:05:15.689 be dramatic and it is going to be an example 90 00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:18.750 for when the Republicans are back in power, which they 91 00:05:18.829 --> 00:05:22.879 will be, what they must do. Just watch and learn 92 00:05:22.949 --> 00:05:25.899 how power is wielded because the Democrats know how to 93 00:05:25.939 --> 00:05:26.220 do it. 94 00:05:27.579 --> 00:05:30.579 Now, let me suggest something to you and bounce this 95 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.480 off of you and get your opinion. I am never 96 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.829 happy when Democrats win, period. Because at least currently, as 97 00:05:37.870 --> 00:05:43.829 they are currently constituent, the Democrat Party now. I'm not 98 00:05:43.870 --> 00:05:46.889 happy when they win anything. Because these people are just 99 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:53.459 policy-wise radical and beyond belief. That said, I had a 100 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.879 thought this afternoon, Princess Dorna, that perhaps in a way 101 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.500 this election was like the release of a pressure valve. 102 00:06:03.250 --> 00:06:06.189 Every liberal I know has been beside themselves for the 103 00:06:06.209 --> 00:06:09.540 last two years. But before that, they were beside themselves. 104 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.680 And it never ended, even when Trump was out of 105 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:17.339 power and when Trump was in power before. This, to me, 106 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:22.600 if you look societal, is like a major pressure valve relief. 107 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:26.300 These people have felt shut out. They've been holding their 108 00:06:26.379 --> 00:06:30.019 rallies all around the country. They're no king stuff. They've 109 00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:33.139 been out in the streets rioting and

carrying it on 110 00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:34.439 when immigration's out there. 111 00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:36.519 They've been activists in the street. 112 00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:40.069 Then they got the Gaza branch, the Palestinian branch that's 113 00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:44.759 been disrupting university life and rioting in the street and 114 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.160 everything else. And, by the way, they got one of 115 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.730 their members elected in. That would be El-Sayed. That news 116 00:06:50.790 --> 00:06:56.389 came at 2 something in the morning, just ghastly. However, 117 00:06:56.730 --> 00:06:59.129 so now the pressure valve is up. I got a 118 00:06:59.209 --> 00:07:02.930 text from one of them. Oh, this is great. America 119 00:07:03.029 --> 00:07:07.129 is back. They're breathing a sigh of relief. They've won 120 00:07:07.269 --> 00:07:11.660 an election. They're not locked out. Let's see. Let's see. 121 00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:13.240 In fact, I'm going to look for the text that 122 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:20.319 I got. The world is right again. The world is 123 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.120 all right. I'm going to read this to you. I'm 124 00:07:23.139 --> 00:07:26.089 going to read this to you verbatim. The world is 125 00:07:26.350 --> 00:07:31.029 all right again. Sanity is returning to America. And folks 126 00:07:31.089 --> 00:07:35.079 here are ready. But, hey, there won't be Trump to 127 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.220 run against either in 2028. 128 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.819 Yeah, I think that that is a pretty good analysis 129 00:07:43.939 --> 00:07:46.959 and that, you know, the left does feel that. I 130 00:07:47.019 --> 00:07:50.319 remember the first time I ran across this at a 131 00:07:50.610 --> 00:07:56.529 high school reunion in 92, where everyone was talking about 132 00:07:56.870 --> 00:08:00.029 how wonderful the new administration was going to be. And 133 00:08:00.069 --> 00:08:02.490 that was going to make them all so much happier. 134 00:08:02.550 --> 00:08:05.209 And that was the first time that I'm like, How 135 00:08:05.310 --> 00:08:07.740 is that going to make your life better? They were 136 00:08:07.889 --> 00:08:14.439 so upset with the atmosphere, you know, under Reagan and Bush, 137 00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:18.310 as they said, that, you know, the horror years of 138 00:08:18.370 --> 00:08:22.110 Reagan and Bush. Right. coming in was going to be 139 00:08:22.189 --> 00:08:26.290 just this happiness, you know. And so they do, on 140 00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:30.939 the left, it bothers them environmentally when in the air 141 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.559 there are ideas that they don't agree with. And they 142 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.440 are very unhappy and very uncomfortable. And, you know, on 143 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.970 the other side, we are kind of used to it. 144 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.539 We can roll with it. And in this case, as 145 00:08:42.580 --> 00:08:46.490 you see, there was no violence when the Republicans got, 146 00:08:46.570 --> 00:08:53.070 you Our side is basically, I think, grounded, and we 147 00:08:53.129 --> 00:08:56.250 know that we can lose elections, and we have, and 148 00:08:56.289 --> 00:08:58.950 we also can win. And that is going to be 149 00:08:59.370 --> 00:09:02.700 the interesting problem that the left has. They are going 150 00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:07.419 to over-conclude. from this election. And they're going to think 151 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.899 of themselves, as they tend to do, as a permanent 152 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.139 majority going forward. This is how it's always going to be. 153 00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:18.279 And they are going to overreach. And so that is 154 00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:22.070 something they cannot resist. They do it every single time. 155 00:09:22.250 --> 00:09:27.110 And so, you know, this is a frustrating situation legitimately. 156 00:09:27.289 --> 00:09:29.210 But in my view, it's temporary. 157 00:09:30.299 --> 00:09:33.159 All right, soundbites. Let's start. 17. 158 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.879 This was on The View this morning. That non-political show, 159 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.740 by the way. They're just a new show, according to ABC. 160 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.779 The View. Let's listen to Sonny. 161 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.110 My husband had to go to bed at 11 o'clock, 162 00:09:44.149 --> 00:09:46.090 and I said, nah, I'm not going to bed, because 163 00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:50.490 I wanted to see history. And I saw five black 164 00:09:51.009 --> 00:09:54.409 governors elected for the first time in the history. 165 00:09:54.009 --> 00:09:57.710 Of this country. 166 00:09:57.730 --> 00:09:59.120 One of them in Florida. It was. 167 00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:00.740 country. 168 00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:05.139 It was mind-blowing to me. I saw the first Muslim senator, 169 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:10.289 Abdul El-Sayed. I saw the first openly gay male senator, 170 00:10:10.350 --> 00:10:14.929 Chris Pappas. The first female Native American governor, Deb Haaland 171 00:10:14.950 --> 00:10:18.860 of New Mexico. The first Hispanic governors elected in both 172 00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:22.940 Texas and California and the first female governor of Ohio, 173 00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:29.100 despite the grotesque ads that Ramaswamy was putting out there. 174 00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:37.409 So I felt like it was Christmas morning. I felt like, hello, 175 00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:38.610 good blue morning. 176 00:10:38.789 --> 00:10:40.629 I'm so glad you brought up. 177 00:10:42.029 --> 00:10:43.750 Hello, good blue morning. 178 00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:49.570 And then Anna Navarro, racist to me, as can be, 179 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.649 with this, don't remind me we have a black governor. 180 00:10:52.690 --> 00:10:53.090 You know what? 181 00:10:53.250 --> 00:10:55.710 By the way, the headlines last night after I was 182 00:10:55.769 -->

00:10:59.549 watching online through all this stuff, too. And mainstream media 183 00:10:59.649 --> 00:11:05.779 after mainstream media, after Keisha Bottoms Up won the governorship 184 00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:09.179 in Georgia, which, by the way, Republicans in Georgia, you 185 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:09.960 deserve what you get. 186 00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:10.580 Yeah. 187 00:11:12.029 --> 00:11:19.759 Seriously, Republicans in Georgia, you people, anyway. So after Bottoms Up, 188 00:11:19.820 --> 00:11:22.620 Keisha Bottoms Up won in Georgia. 189 00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:26.269 Historic night, historic. 190 00:11:27.870 --> 00:11:34.129 Black woman wins governor's first, black woman to win governor's, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 191 00:11:34.450 --> 00:11:41.340 Byron Donalds wins. in AP in the headliner, Byron Donalds 192 00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:46.850 barely wins. He barely wins. Nothing historic about it. Nothing 193 00:11:46.909 --> 00:11:52.389 historic that in the old South Florida, the state of Florida, 194 00:11:52.610 --> 00:11:54.090 they have elected a black governor. 195 00:11:54.350 --> 00:11:57.679 It doesn't matter. It's not historic because he's not a Democrat. 196 00:11:58.940 --> 00:12:04.100 Exactly right. And that soundbite you ran of, you know, 197 00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:08.620 basically the thrill that they have of various people, not 198 00:12:08.659 --> 00:12:12.519 because of merit or their talent in any way. They 199 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:16.700 tick boxes, you know, in the constituency groups of the 200 00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:20.279 Democrat Party. And so that thrills them. We have our 201 00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:23.059 first this and our first that. And so, you know, 202 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.620 basically that is their measuring bar of measuring. 203 00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:28.620 And that is it. 204 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.620 And so they're happy today. And, you know, it does 205 00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:33.919 feel good to win an election. We have felt that 206 00:12:33.990 --> 00:12:37.600 happiness as well. Yes, it does. Going back to 94, 207 00:12:37.590 --> 00:12:38.389 if you remember. 208 00:12:39.110 --> 00:12:42.190 That's right. And it feels good to win an election. 209 00:12:42.230 --> 00:12:44.649 You are absolutely right. I got one more. I got 210 00:12:44.690 --> 00:12:47.120 to find it here real quick. Because this one. 211 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.539 Okay, cut nine. Let's see what cut nine. 212 00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:59.039 And they have candidates that are dropping like flies across 213 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.639 the country because they did not stand up to this 214 00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:04.179 guy when he was doing things that were wrong, when 215 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.620 he was violating the law, when he was running over 216 00:13:07.539 --> 00:13:09.610 our system. They didn't stand up to him, and they're 217 00:13:09.629 --> 00:13:12.210 paying the price. It's Jonestown tonight. You

join a cult. 218 00:13:12.690 --> 00:13:14.610 At some point, you go to Jonestown. That's where you 219 00:13:14.629 --> 00:13:16.870 are tonight, Republicans. Scott, I don't know if you want 220 00:13:16.889 --> 00:13:17.929 to check what's in your glass. 221 00:13:19.450 --> 00:13:22.360 You realize I'm sitting right here. I can hear everything 222 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:28.210 you're saying. I've been here the entire time. Well, look, 223 00:13:28.850 --> 00:13:31.269 I'm not going to sugarcoat it. There's a political science 224 00:13:31.309 --> 00:13:33.570 term for what's happening. It's called a country ass whooping. 225 00:13:33.590 --> 00:13:36.210 That's what's happening right now across the board. 226 00:13:36.250 --> 00:13:36.690 Kentucky. 227 00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:38.889 I think the modern term, Scott, is BTA. 228 00:13:40.269 --> 00:13:45.139 Look, you know, it's Jonestown. People. 229 00:13:51.750 --> 00:13:53.700 We're at first break. I want to get your reaction 230 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.820 to that when we get back from the break, Princess Diana. 231 00:13:56.179 --> 00:13:58.120 We got to tell you first, folks. Born in 1969 232 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.120 on this date.

And there's two paragraphs about 238 00:14:30.889 --> 00:14:33.690 why I don't have time to do it. Happy birthday, 239 00:14:33.710 --> 00:14:38.960 Behind Bars. I hope you have some icing since you 240 00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:41.360 can't get baby oil. Well, maybe they do have baby 241 00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:42.279 oil in commissary. 242 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.679 I don't know. I wouldn't know. 243 00:14:45.490 --> 00:14:48.450 James Golden is literally fast as how an American media 244 00:14:48.490 --> 00:14:49.529 princess dies with us. 245 00:14:49.590 --> 00:14:50.320 Don't go away. 246 00:14:51.429 --> 00:14:56.200 The Rush Hour with James Golden. Entertaining and informative on 247 00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.200 the Red Apple Podcast Network. 248 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.299 I finally got to Manu. 249 00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:04.899 Thank you. 250 00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:07.250 How do you deal with those candidates who won, who 251 00:15:07.269 --> 00:15:08.330 said they're not going to vote for you? 252 00:15:08.429 --> 00:15:10.529 Adam Hamilton, Troy Jackson. 253 00:15:10.830 --> 00:15:14.210 Again, to repeat the answer, the issue is not me. 254 00:15:14.830 --> 00:15:19.009 I'll be reelected as majority leader. But the issue is 255 00:15:19.149 --> 00:15:26.309 focusing on the American people and what they want. 256 00:15:26.350 --> 00:15:27.889 Princess Diana, that's Chuck E. 257 00:15:27.909 --> 00:15:32.320 Schumer, back and stronger than ever. For those that thought 258 00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:34.779 Chuck Schumer's days were numbered, Chuck E. 's days are 259 00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:36.519 not numbered. What do you think, Princess Di? 260 00:15:37.389 --> 00:15:40.240 Well, he has some violent language. I don't know if 261 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:42.740 you saw that quote that he was going to be 262 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:48.000 in charge of putting razor wire legislatively for Trump. I mean, 263 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:53.320 he and his compatriots are already threatening, you know, if 264 00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:55.659 lawyer up was one of them. 265 00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:58.620 Robert Garcia, yeah, lawyer up. 266 00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.019 Exactly. 267 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.179 So they're claiming that this is about the American people 268 00:16:03.299 --> 00:16:07.049 and it's all going to be about affordability. None of 269 00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:10.789 their policies do that. So basically what they're going to 270 00:16:10.830 --> 00:16:16.649 be doing is targeting the wealthy and targeting specific supporters 271 00:16:16.690 --> 00:16:20.649 of Trump, including Elon Musk. And so, basically, they can't 272 00:16:20.690 --> 00:16:24.039 help themselves. There's going to be no policy that does 273 00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:27.460 what they say, which is to help the affordability crisis, 274 00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:32.059 which they have been involved in causing. And so, this 275 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:38.169 idea that, you know, they're saying these wonderfully brilliant-sounding things, 276 00:16:38.450 --> 00:16:40.610 their behavior is going to be the opposite. 277 00:16:42.210 --> 00:16:42.429 Well. 278 00:16:43.340 --> 00:16:45.600 When we get back, Princess Diana, I want to talk 279 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.679 about President Donald Trump and the reaction we're already seeing, 280 00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:53.509 the sniping from some Republicans, unnamed, of course, the strategists. 281 00:16:53.970 --> 00:16:57.009 Oh, this is all Trump's fault. This is all Trump's fault. 282 00:16:57.429 --> 00:16:59.070 So I want to talk about that and also what 283 00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:02.110 the Republicans should do going forward. Princess Diana is in 284 00:17:02.129 --> 00:17:05.410 the House this day after the election. 285 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:08.460 We'll be back. Don't go away. 286 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:14.529 The Rush Hour with James Golden. Entertaining and informative. On 287 00:17:14.549 --> 00:17:16.529 the Red Apple Podcast Network. 288 00:17:16.529 --> 00:17:24.369 1938, on this day, Harry Elson was born. He, from 289 00:17:24.410 --> 00:17:30.220 the group, the Friends of Distinction. Of course, Grazing in 290 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.119 the Grass first was an instrumental by Hugh Masekela. 1968, 291

00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:39.869 I believe, it went number one. And they did it 292 00:17:39.950 --> 00:17:42.970 over and put some lyrics on it. Beautiful song. Friends 293 00:17:43.029 --> 00:17:51.099 of Distinction discovered by the American football player Giant, Jim Brown, who, 294 00:17:51.140 --> 00:17:55.519 by the way, also discovered Earth, Wind & Fire. And 295 00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:59.299 they went on to be signed to RCA Records. Harry 296 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.680 Olsen passed away in 2025. He was 86 years old. 297 00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:05.579 What great music. This was a great, great band. They 298 00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:07.779 have one of the best songs that was never a hit. 299 00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:11.259 If I ever do a show, a music show, I'd 300 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:13.420 like to do a show. Hits that should have been. 301 00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:16.779 They have a song called I Really Hope You Do, 302 00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:18.799 which should have been a hit. It was a B-side, 303 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:25.190 but man, this was a great group. Great harmonies. Jessica Cleaves, 304 00:18:25.230 --> 00:18:29.029 I think, was with them for a stretch. Anyway, Princess 305 00:18:29.069 --> 00:18:32.619 Diana is in the house. Um, so princess, we have 306 00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:37.599 today in WAPO, the finger pointing has already begun. And 307 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:42.279 then you have unnamed white house, a Republican strategist referring 308 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.470 to Trump's penchant for praising certain GOP physics. He added, 309 00:18:45.829 --> 00:18:49.470 it turns out voters, voters weren't voting on the best ass. 310 00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:55.309 And then, um, they have some others, uh, At the 311 00:18:55.369 --> 00:18:57.789 end of the day, mostly it follows a president and 312 00:18:57.809 --> 00:19:01.549 an incompetent White House that pushed every single limit that 313 00:19:01.589 --> 00:19:06.329 voters responded to in kind. Another unnamed strategist. And you 314 00:19:06.369 --> 00:19:09.359 can go through it. They're lamenting Trump is terrible. Trump 315 00:19:09.380 --> 00:19:12.759 is like a volcano that's on watch for eruption. The 316 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:14.740 pressure builds over the next day or two. I think 317 00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:17.349 we're going to have a very frustrated president. He may 318 00:19:17.410 --> 00:19:19.769 walk into the old boardroom and start taking up his 319 00:19:19.809 --> 00:19:23.130 old apprentice role, busting out a trademark line and start 320 00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:24.480 firing people in his cat. 321 00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:28.460 Princess, what do you think here? 322 00:19:29.230 --> 00:19:31.630 Well, you know, this is all what they've been thinking 323 00:19:31.710 --> 00:19:34.609 all along for the last 10 years. That crowd, as 324 00:19:34.650 --> 00:19:37.319 you say, none of the names put to what they're 325 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.319 saying have

hated Trump because he's run rings of circles 326 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:46.609 around them. Now, what happened was what happens when Trump 327 00:19:46.670 --> 00:19:49.130 is not on the ballot. He was not on the ballot. 328 00:19:49.170 --> 00:19:52.410 It's a different election. when he's on the ballot, and 329 00:19:52.450 --> 00:19:54.240 he's never going to be on the ballot. This is 330 00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:58.150 what the Republican Party, and they did not realize it, 331 00:19:58.579 --> 00:20:02.700 this is what the Republican Party brand gets from the 332 00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:06.400 voters when Trump is not on there. They got punished 333 00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:12.240 and they deserved it. You've had an amazing text from 334 00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:16.000 John Thune last night bragging about his accomplishments. I don't 335 00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:18.019 know if you read that. Over the last two years, 336 00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:21.559 Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishments. 337 00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:25.380 That's created safer streets, more money in Americans' pockets, and 338 00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:29.319 new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. He 339 00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.569 lists all the things that Trump did. and does not 340 00:20:33.670 --> 00:20:37.529 mention that he and his ilk tried to stop Trump 341 00:20:37.569 --> 00:20:41.259 at every turn. You had none of the Republican establishment 342 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:47.160 making a communication to the American public explaining the accomplishments 343 00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:51.140 of the Trump administration. They have been stepping aside and 344 00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:55.619 letting Trump try and carry the entire party by himself. 345 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.029 And when he's on the ballot, he can. And so 346 00:20:59.230 --> 00:21:02.589 this is, in my opinion, on them. But the finger 347 00:21:02.650 --> 00:21:06.769 pointing and the fight has to happen. The Democrats made 348 00:21:06.809 --> 00:21:10.430 the mistake after they lost in 2024 of burying their 349 00:21:10.509 --> 00:21:14.029 own report as to what the problem was. Our side 350 00:21:14.049 --> 00:21:17.309 has to have the fight. It has to be out loud. 351 00:21:17.650 --> 00:21:22.259 And it has to be instead of having unnamed sources 352 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.079 talk to The Washington Post. The voters have to weigh 353 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:28.859 in and basically say, you guys are the problem. Get 354 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.420 off your rear end and start enacting the agenda. 355 00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:36.769 Yeah, here she is, by the way, Nikki. Cut 14. 356 00:21:36.769 --> 00:21:40.890 The wannabe Nikki Haley from South Carolina, another lost state. 357 00:21:41.089 --> 00:21:44.269 This is not the time to whine, complain, or point fingers. 358 00:21:44.730 --> 00:21:48.440 You can't blame media. You can't blame academia. You can't 359 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:51.400 blame Hollywood. All of those have been against us years before, 360 00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:55.930 and we've won. The bottom line is... Republicans didn't listen 361 00:21:55.970 --> 00:21:59.130 to the American people. They listened to Washington, D.C. And 362 00:21:59.170 --> 00:22:02.210 while the American people were saying groceries is high, gas 363 00:22:02.269 --> 00:22:05.470 is high, health care is high, you're not listening. What 364 00:22:05.509 --> 00:22:09.769 you saw in D.C. was self-dealing and corruption and celebrating. 365 00:22:10.309 --> 00:22:14.279 And what I will say is get a good night's sleep, 366 00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:16.640 take our medicine, and let's get to work. 367 00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:22.559 Okay, enough, enough, enough, enough, enough, enough. What was that? 368 00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:23.940 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 369 00:22:25.109 --> 00:22:28.380 That is Democrat talking points, and she is a Democrat, basically. 370 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:33.829 Okay. 371 00:22:33.849 --> 00:22:35.990 So you don't think there's any value in what she 372 00:22:36.029 --> 00:22:37.750 said about not listening to the American people? 373 00:22:38.430 --> 00:22:41.930 Well, here's the thing. That was on the Republican Party, 374 00:22:42.230 --> 00:22:45.309 you know, to communicate. Trump, you know, did his best 375 00:22:45.349 --> 00:22:49.430 to go, you know, state by state, city by city 376 00:22:49.710 --> 00:22:52.799 for the last more than a month, you know, touting 377 00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:56.480 his accomplishments. Did the Republicans in any way do that? 378 00:22:56.980 --> 00:23:00.460 Did they say, look at the border as a party? 379 00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:04.480 What was the communication? You had the podcasters who were 380 00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:07.950 trying to do it. You had Trump himself. And you 381 00:23:08.009 --> 00:23:13.049 basically had a binary choice based on gas prices, which 382 00:23:13.250 --> 00:23:17.519 is not wrong of the American people. The American people 383 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.799 look at the cost of living. It's the old question. 384 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:24.599 Are you better off now than you were four years 385 00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.099 ago that Ronald Reagan asked? And people looked at their 386 00:23:28.299 --> 00:23:31.819 own wallets in this, and they basically said, we're in trouble. 387 00:23:32.460 --> 00:23:35.529 This is a problem. And if the Republican Party could 388 00:23:35.589 --> 00:23:40.269 communicate what the accomplishments were, in other words, the border 389 00:23:40.329 --> 00:23:47.569 being closed, the crime rate being down more than since 1900, 390 00:23:47.569 --> 00:23:52.630 if the Republican Party could explain that that in itself 391 00:23:52.650 --> 00:23:57.140 is is an increase in our safety, and you can't 392 00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.859 go back to the Democrat way of high crime and 393 00:24:00.900

--> 00:24:04.759 the cost of the border being open. And nobody explained 394 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:07.720 that other than Trump himself, and the media didn't cover 395 00:24:07.779 --> 00:24:12.019 that message. So in my opinion, the American people were 396 00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:16.039 reacting to a legitimate concern about the cost of living, 397 00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:21.240 and the Republicans did not explain what the Trump administration 398 00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:22.660 had done to alleviate that. 399 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:23.759 All right. 400 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:25.880 I want to get your take on this guy. He's 401 00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:28.789 now going to be the senator, the junior senator of Texas, 402 00:24:28.849 --> 00:24:29.890 James Tallarico. 403 00:24:30.369 --> 00:24:32.349 He was on Fox. This is cut three. This is 404 00:24:32.390 --> 00:24:32.910 what he said. 405 00:24:32.930 --> 00:24:37.490 Yeah, I think there's a wide variety of issues that 406 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.200 we could work together on. Immigration is one of them. 407 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:44.069 I think trying to pass comprehensive immigration reform that includes 408 00:24:44.109 --> 00:24:48.710 border security, give the president credit where credit is due. 409 00:24:48.849 --> 00:24:51.789 He has done a better job than the previous administration 410 00:24:52.109 --> 00:24:54.759 in securing our border. But we also need to create 411 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:58.240 more legal pathways for hardworking immigrants who want to come 412 00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.059 here and contribute to our economy, who want to make 413 00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:03.900 us richer and stronger as a nation. And we should 414 00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:07.829 figure out a pathway to citizenship for those hardworking neighbors 415 00:25:07.869 --> 00:25:10.029 who have been here for years and decades so they 416 00:25:10.069 --> 00:25:12.250 can come out of the shadows. I also want to 417 00:25:12.289 --> 00:25:15.700 work with the president on housing. He's a builder and 418 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.579 we need to cut the red tape, the regulation that 419 00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:21.460 sometimes my party has been guilty of so that we 420 00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:25.029 can build millions of new homes in this country. Last 421 00:25:25.130 --> 00:25:27.950 one I'll mention is I agree with the president on 422 00:25:27.990 --> 00:25:31.880 the need to legalize marijuana and reform this broken criminal 423 00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.380 justice system. These are just some of the issues that 424 00:25:34.420 --> 00:25:36.839 I agree full heartedly with President Trump, and I look 425 00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:39.829 forward to working with him for all 31 million Texans. 426 00:25:45.150 --> 00:25:48.460 I guarantee you we're not going to see one vote 427 00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:53.299 from Tallarico in support of anything Trump wants. So I 428 00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.640 thought that, you

know, he's a smooth talker. There's no 429 00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:00.579 question about it. He's politically talented, but it's not going 430 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:01.059 to happen. 431 00:26:05.529 --> 00:26:08.230 Well, all right. Then I got one more from Tallarico. 432 00:26:08.269 --> 00:26:11.569 He was on PMS Now. Cut two. Listen to this. 433 00:26:11.990 --> 00:26:12.809 Here's another joke. 434 00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:15.299 There's so many things I want to ask you about, 435 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.700 but I want to start with your acceptance speech. Just 436 00:26:18.829 --> 00:26:23.230 below you were the words, love thy neighbor. Your message 437 00:26:23.789 --> 00:26:26.890 was focused on unity and love. You got up and 438 00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:30.529 you said love is a verb. It is an action word. 439 00:26:31.089 --> 00:26:35.690 This flies directly in the face of the inauguration speech, 440 00:26:35.710 --> 00:26:38.079 as we saw from Donald Trump, both in his first 441 00:26:38.130 --> 00:26:39.859 term and his second term. 442 00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:41.579 Does your victory. 443 00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:45.369 start to turn the page for this country in how 444 00:26:45.450 --> 00:26:47.869 we see one another, how we treat one another, how 445 00:26:47.890 --> 00:26:48.990 we speak to each other? 446 00:26:50.289 --> 00:26:55.170 That's my prayer. There is something broken in America. Our 447 00:26:55.269 --> 00:26:59.579 economic system is broken. Our political system is broken. Even 448 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.960 our relationships with each other feel broken. And I think 449 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.140 that our campaign in Texas, I think, is pioneering a 450 00:27:08.579 --> 00:27:10.019 new kind of politics that. 451 00:27:12.630 --> 00:27:13.500 Your reaction, Prince. 452 00:27:14.109 --> 00:27:18.470 Laying that on so thick, it's unbelievable. I have to 453 00:27:18.529 --> 00:27:21.549 tell you, when you start talking about love being a verb, 454 00:27:21.809 --> 00:27:24.430 you know, that is all I can think about is 455 00:27:24.490 --> 00:27:29.309 his affection for trans kids, which he was quoted as saying. 456 00:27:29.390 --> 00:27:32.710 You know, I just am suspicious of that, you know, 457 00:27:32.890 --> 00:27:36.319 as a policy. And nothing he is saying, he is 458 00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:40.480 extremely dangerous, this guy. And I remember reading from people 459 00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:42.680 who worked with him at Texas, he is one of 460 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:48.319 the most dangerous dangerous people on the political landscape right 461 00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.180 now because he has that smooth talk he uses biblical 462 00:27:52.259 --> 00:27:55.430 sounding language but it is heresy. 463 00:27:57.029 --> 00:27:59.529 Uh interesting we are going to take a break because 464 00:27:59.569 --> 00:28:00.910 i want you to be here for the clip of 465 00:28:00.930 --> 00:28:03.210 the day usually i discuss the

clip of the day 466 00:28:03.250 --> 00:28:06.539 but today i'm turning over that responsibility to you princess 467 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:09.079 diana the clip of the day is coming next with 468 00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:13.599 princess diana's quick analysis of it ladies and gentlemen Whatever you. 469 00:28:13.539 --> 00:28:16.259 Do, keep it right here. Do not go away. It's 470 00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:18.579 a doozy. 471 00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:23.269 1966, on this day, the Beach Boys, Good Vibrations, entered 472 00:28:23.349 --> 00:28:27.750 charts across the pond. It went on to become the 473 00:28:27.789 --> 00:28:31.910 number one song in the United States of America and 474 00:28:31.990 --> 00:28:34.759 across the pond in the UK. 475 00:28:34.819 --> 00:28:40.059 Now, Good Vibrations. Brian Wilson's mum... They told him. 476 00:28:39.980 --> 00:28:43.150 The dogs could pick up vibrations from people so that 477 00:28:43.170 --> 00:28:47.910 the dog would bark at bad vibrations. So if that's 478 00:28:47.930 --> 00:28:52.910 the case, he turned that general idea into the song 479 00:28:53.230 --> 00:28:56.640 Good Vibrations. We're coming right back with the clip of 480 00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:57.640 the day. Don't go away. 481 00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:09.079 The Rush Hour with James Golden. Entertaining and informative on 482 00:29:09.099 --> 00:29:11.079 the Red Apple Podcast Network. 483 00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:20.640 The clip of the day. You want to hear it. 484 00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:22.640 It's the clip of the day. 485 00:29:24.589 --> 00:29:27.269 And with us for today's clip of the day, Her 486 00:29:27.369 --> 00:29:33.380 Royal Highness, Princess Diana, Princess of Policy. And Princess Diana 487 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.210 will give a brief analysis following this, the clip of 488 00:29:37.250 --> 00:29:42.690 the day, from, of all people, her government. Ron DeSantis. 489 00:29:42.890 --> 00:29:43.930 Here's a clip of the day. 490 00:29:44.210 --> 00:29:48.559 Let's just be clear about what happened last night. This 491 00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:53.059 is close to an extinction-level event for Republicans in many 492 00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:55.980 parts of the country, as we have seen probably in 493 00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:57.400 the last hundred years. 494 00:29:58.079 --> 00:29:58.880 In January. 495 00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:00.640 When. 496 00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:04.079 Everyone in office leaves who are either term limited or 497 00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:07.880 got voted out of the 10 largest states in this union, 498 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:13.519 only one state will have Republican control of their state, 499 00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:15.109 the state of Florida. 500 00:30:17.390 --> 00:30:18.109 Princess Nogana. 501 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:23.519 He has launched his presidential campaign. Absolutely. And, you know, 502 00:30:23.579 --> 00:30:27.200 he's wrong that it was, as he said, an extinction 503 00:30:27.269 --> 00:30:31.769 level event. You know, as you go through the midterms 504 00:30:31.869 --> 00:30:36.509 in history and 18 out of 20 since 1946 have 505 00:30:36.589 --> 00:30:40.390 had a midterm penalty. In other words, who held the 506 00:30:40.549 --> 00:30:45.200 power in the White House? Their party lost in the Congress. 507 00:30:45.579 --> 00:30:50.240 This is not extinction level. In fact, when Obama had 508 00:30:50.289 --> 00:30:53.529 his quote unquote shellacking in 2010, he lost 63 House seats. 509 00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.519 And we're not going to come close to that. And 510 00:30:57.539 --> 00:31:02.170 it is not an unusual thing to have large pendulum 511 00:31:02.230 --> 00:31:05.150 swings in the midterms. This is getting back to the 512 00:31:05.190 --> 00:31:09.289 historical norm. So what happened is not extinction. It is 513 00:31:09.349 --> 00:31:12.349 not good. We wish it hadn't gone that way. But 514 00:31:12.369 --> 00:31:15.210 he is just incorrect. And he's looking at a way 515 00:31:15.289 --> 00:31:17.490 to launch his presidential campaign. 516 00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:24.519 Oh, so you see another motive there, do you? Well, 517 00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:25.279 speaking of that. 518 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:28.980 Speaking of that, today there's speculation in one column that 519 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:30.859 I read that J.D. Vance is trying to do the 520 00:31:30.900 --> 00:31:34.579 same by distancing himself from the Iran war. 521 00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:39.420 And let's face it. I saw another article. 522 00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:42.269 There's another article for subscribers, and I'm not paying money 523 00:31:42.309 --> 00:31:44.470 for this particular rag, so I didn't bother to read 524 00:31:44.509 --> 00:31:51.009 the article. The presidential 2028 race starts today. Well, okay, fine. 525 00:31:51.049 --> 00:31:54.470 That's the way politics goes, and yeah, to a degree. 526 00:31:54.529 --> 00:31:54.630 Yeah. 527 00:31:55.460 --> 00:31:55.660 Yeah. 528 00:31:56.500 --> 00:31:58.880 Yes, they're going to be jockeying for position. It is 529 00:31:58.940 --> 00:32:02.109 normal in politics. And I have to say, although, you know, 530 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.269 I am not a fan of DeSantis, I'm very happy 531 00:32:05.609 --> 00:32:09.670 that I live in Florida. I'm happy that Amendment 3 passed, 532 00:32:09.769 --> 00:32:13.099 which is going to lower my property taxes. And I 533 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:17.779 am very happy that we maintain Republican control with Byron Donalds. 534 00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:21.140 Well, what do you make of the fact that people 535 00:32:21.609 --> 00:32:24.089 be itching and moaning that he only lost by two points? 536 00:32:24.150 --> 00:32:27.849 I had to remind some people yesterday when DeSantis first term, 537 00:32:28.809 --> 00:32:32.170 he didn't win by much more than that either. His 538 00:32:32.210 --> 00:32:34.220 first term and by the time he was through, he 539 00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:37.579

increased his power base in Florida. And I think Mr. 540 00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:40.980 Donald's Brian Donald's has the opportunity to do the same thing. 541 00:32:42.210 --> 00:32:45.519 I have seen so much criticism of him. It does 542 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:48.940 not make sense to me. We count the W as 543 00:32:49.019 --> 00:32:53.619 a W, you know. Thank you. And he came out 544 00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:58.240 and immediately praised God, and that is... He came on 545 00:32:58.259 --> 00:33:02.180 the stage. That is something to remember. We have our 546 00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:05.910 national motto, in God we trust, and all of these 547 00:33:05.950 --> 00:33:11.690 vicissitudes of politics are temporary, and our national trust in 548 00:33:11.750 --> 00:33:14.890 the Lord is what we have to keep our eyes on. 549 00:33:15.289 --> 00:33:18.890 I am so happy you said that, Princess Diane. I 550 00:33:18.970 --> 00:33:22.059 am beyond happy that you said that, because that's something 551 00:33:22.099 --> 00:33:24.240 that I was thinking about, too, and I didn't have 552 00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:28.549 a chance to say earlier. And And you mentioned this 553 00:33:28.650 --> 00:33:30.430 at the beginning when we first started talking. You and 554 00:33:30.470 --> 00:33:32.529 I have seen these cycles. We've seen the cycles come 555 00:33:32.569 --> 00:33:38.349 and go. We have seen, we tasted bitter defeat politically 556 00:33:38.809 --> 00:33:42.450 and had exhilarating wins. And it's all cyclical and no 557 00:33:42.509 --> 00:33:48.789 condition on this earth is a permanent condition. Life itself, 558 00:33:49.150 --> 00:33:54.289 this is all transitory. Everything will change. The only thing 559 00:33:54.349 --> 00:33:57.960 that will not change is the eternal. And the eternal 560 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:03.160 is the creator who created it all. And so that's what, 561 00:34:03.259 --> 00:34:05.640 at some point, no matter how invested we are in 562 00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:09.360 this politically, we need to remember the bigger picture. That 563 00:34:09.449 --> 00:34:11.949 we are here for only a brief moment in time. 564 00:34:12.429 --> 00:34:16.550 And we can't predict the future. And so what you 565 00:34:16.590 --> 00:34:21.170 just said, our national motto becomes so important to hold 566 00:34:21.269 --> 00:34:26.139 us through. which is the trust that we have and 567 00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:31.360 our faith in God. Your last words, Princess Diana here 568 00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:33.179 on this post-election show. 569 00:34:33.949 --> 00:34:36.789 Amen. I could not have said it better myself, and 570 00:34:36.829 --> 00:34:40.570 it is our national motto for a reason, through thick 571 00:34:40.989 --> 00:34:45.250 and thin, and the Lord is never changing and always faithful. 572 00:34:46.969 --> 00:34:47.289 Wow. 573 00:34:47.829 --> 00:34:52.110 Thank you, Princess Diana. It's such a pleasure. I look 574 00:34:52.130 --> 00:34:53.929 forward to catching up with you Saturday. I have so 575 00:34:53.989 --> 00:34:55.860 much more. I have so many articles here that I 576 00:34:55.900 --> 00:34:59.960 want to get to and discuss with you. And so 577 00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:01.980 hopefully Saturday you and I get together again. 578 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.639 I'm looking forward to it, Sir James. It's always a pleasure. 579 00:35:06.449 --> 00:35:09.809 Thank you, Princess Diana. Folks, we'll leave you today. And 580 00:35:09.849 --> 00:35:12.250 it can be, and I should say this is so 581 00:35:12.389 --> 00:35:22.789 fitting for today. In 1972, Johnny Nash. Started a three-week 582 00:35:22.949 --> 00:35:26.389 run at number one. U.S. singles charts with this one, 583 00:35:26.489 --> 00:35:28.750 I can see clearly now. Now, there are a lot 584 00:35:28.789 --> 00:35:31.530 of people on the other side. Like you heard Sonny 585 00:35:31.570 --> 00:35:34.280 Hostin and all that saying, oh, it's a blue day. 586 00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:35.239 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 587 00:35:35.260 --> 00:35:41.039 My friends, oh, America's regaining its sanity.
