00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:04.960
The Rush Hour with James Golden. Entertaining and informative on
2
00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:06.870
the Red Apple Podcast Network.
3
00:00:10.769 --> 00:00:13.810
The American people don't want us to get even. They
4
00:00:13.849 --> 00:00:17.989
want us to get things done on their behalf because
5
00:00:18.070 --> 00:00:22.230
life is way too expensive. We ran on affordability. We
6
00:00:22.309 --> 00:00:26.199
won on affordability. And now it's our job to govern
7
00:00:26.449 --> 00:00:29.480
on affordability. As a matter of fact, we made clear
8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:34.460
that we're fighting for an affordable America. and explicitly promised
9
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.399
the American people that we would fight hard to lower
10
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.799
the high cost of groceries and gas and housing, and
11
00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:42.920
that we were going to fight hard to make sure
12
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.500
that health care was affordable for every single American, and
13
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.520
that hardworking American taxpayers who are working hard and playing
14
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.229
by the rules, they should be able to live an
15
00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:59.049
affordable life. That's our mission. That's our responsibility. And we're
16
00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:01.750
going to work hard to make that happen.
17
00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:11.980
The incoming Speaker of the House, Brooklyn, New York's Hakeem Jeffries,
18
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.340
ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Wednesday edition of Boston
19
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.349
Early Special Hour, the fastest hour in American media. If
20
00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:22.829
you're looking for the pity party, it's not here. No
21
00:01:22.969 --> 00:01:27.280
pity parties today on this program, at least. Instead, what
22
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.000
we have for you is a treat. She's with us,
23
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:30.920
ladies and gentlemen.
24
00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:35.750
It's time for Radio Royalty with James Golden and America's
25
00:01:35.829 --> 00:01:37.930
Princess of Policy, Princess Di.
26
00:01:37.930 --> 00:01:41.109
What a great day to catch up with the nestness,
27
00:01:41.689 --> 00:01:52.150
the highness, the royal. You won't get anywhere else, even
28
00:01:52.209 --> 00:01:56.780
though she's not a pollster. Princess Diana is in the house,
29
00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.379
ladies and gentlemen. Welcome, Your Highness.
30
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.870
Oh, Sir James, what a night last night. It was ugly,
31
00:02:03.909 --> 00:02:05.849
wasn't it?
32
00:02:06.129 --> 00:02:07.329
It was an ass kick.
33
00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:09.550
It was like not only did I just drag the
34
00:02:09.590 --> 00:02:11.310
football on you, I kicked your ass on the way
35
00:02:11.389 --> 00:02:11.870
out the door.
36
00:02:12.129 --> 00:02:12.949
Here, here's some more.
37
00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:15.550
And by the way, 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. I hope he's having a good celebration.
233
00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:12.149
American former rapper, record producer, record executive, and convict. Sean Combs, a.k.a.
234
00:14:12.470 --> 00:14:15.710
Puff Daddy, a.k.a. P. Diddy, a.k.a.
235
00:14:15.950 --> 00:14:22.240
Diddy. Accredited with such artists as Notorious.
236
00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:25.730
B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, among many others. Of course,
237
00:14:25.750 --> 00:14:30.830
you know he's in jail. 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. Look, your choice
588
00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:46.360
on how you want to be. Depressed, not depressed.
589
00:35:46.619 --> 00:35:50.360
Optimistic. I'm always going to choose optimism. and happiness.
590
00:35:50.699 --> 00:35:52.679
We got to go. May God bless and protect each
591
00:35:52.739 --> 00:35:57.369
and every single one of you, your families, your loved ones.
592
00:35:58.070 --> 00:36:01.730
Thank you so much for being here and having me
593
00:36:02.269 --> 00:36:05.550
with you this afternoon, this and every afternoon that we're together.
594
00:36:06.530 --> 00:36:09.519
Be optimistic. Be grateful.
595
00:36:09.579 --> 00:36:12.699
We live in the greatest country in the world. And
596
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:17.619
keep your faith always. God bless each and every one
597
00:36:17.659 --> 00:36:21.070
of you. God willing, back tomorrow. Until then, I bid
598
00:36:21.090 --> 00:36:21.599
you adieu.
599
00:36:21.619 --> 00:36:21.690
Bye.
1
00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:04.960
The Rush Hour with James Golden. Entertaining and informative on
2
00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:06.870
the Red Apple Podcast Network.
3
00:00:10.769 --> 00:00:13.810
The American people don't want us to get even. They
4
00:00:13.849 --> 00:00:17.989
want us to get things done on their behalf because
5
00:00:18.070 --> 00:00:22.230
life is way too expensive. We ran on affordability. We
6
00:00:22.309 --> 00:00:26.199
won on affordability. And now it's our job to govern
7
00:00:26.449 --> 00:00:29.480
on affordability. As a matter of fact, we made clear
8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:34.460
that we're fighting for an affordable America. and explicitly promised
9
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.399
the American people that we would fight hard to lower
10
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.799
the high cost of groceries and gas and housing, and
11
00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:42.920
that we were going to fight hard to make sure
12
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.500
that health care was affordable for every single American, and
13
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.520
that hardworking American taxpayers who are working hard and playing
14
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.229
by the rules, they should be able to live an
15
00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:59.049
affordable life. That's our mission. That's our responsibility. And we're
16
00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:01.750
going to work hard to make that happen.
17
00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:11.980
The incoming Speaker of the House, Brooklyn, New York's Hakeem Jeffries,
18
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.340
ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Wednesday edition of Boston
19
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.349
Early Special Hour, the fastest hour in American media. If
20
00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:22.829
you're looking for the pity party, it's not here. No
21
00:01:22.969 --> 00:01:27.280
pity parties today on this program, at least. Instead, what
22
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.000
we have for you is a treat. She's with us,
23
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:30.920
ladies and gentlemen.
24
00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:35.750
It's time for Radio Royalty with James Golden and America's
25
00:01:35.829 --> 00:01:37.930
Princess of Policy, Princess Di.
26
00:01:37.930 --> 00:01:41.109
What a great day to catch up with the nestness,
27
00:01:41.689 --> 00:01:52.150
the highness, the royal. You won't get anywhere else, even
28
00:01:52.209 --> 00:01:56.780
though she's not a pollster. Princess Diana is in the house,
29
00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.379
ladies and gentlemen. Welcome, Your Highness.
30
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.870
Oh, Sir James, what a night last night. It was ugly,
31
00:02:03.909 --> 00:02:05.849
wasn't it?
32
00:02:06.129 --> 00:02:07.329
It was an ass kick.
33
00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:09.550
It was like not only did I just drag the
34
00:02:09.590 --> 00:02:11.310
football on you, I kicked your ass on the way
35
00:02:11.389 --> 00:02:11.870
out the door.
36
00:02:12.129 --> 00:02:12.949
Here, here's some more.
37
00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:15.550
And by the way, 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. I hope he's having a good celebration.
233
00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:12.149
American former rapper, record producer, record executive, and convict. Sean Combs, a.k.a.
234
00:14:12.470 --> 00:14:15.710
Puff Daddy, a.k.a. P. Diddy, a.k.a.
235
00:14:15.950 --> 00:14:22.240
Diddy. Accredited with such artists as Notorious.
236
00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:25.730
B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, among many others. Of course,
237
00:14:25.750 --> 00:14:30.830
you know he's in jail. 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. Look, your choice
588
00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:46.360
on how you want to be. Depressed, not depressed.
589
00:35:46.619 --> 00:35:50.360
Optimistic. I'm always going to choose optimism. and happiness.
590
00:35:50.699 --> 00:35:52.679
We got to go. May God bless and protect each
591
00:35:52.739 --> 00:35:57.369
and every single one of you, your families, your loved ones.
592
00:35:58.070 --> 00:36:01.730
Thank you so much for being here and having me
593
00:36:02.269 --> 00:36:05.550
with you this afternoon, this and every afternoon that we're together.
594
00:36:06.530 --> 00:36:09.519
Be optimistic. Be grateful.
595
00:36:09.579 --> 00:36:12.699
We live in the greatest country in the world. And
596
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:17.619
keep your faith always. God bless each and every one
597
00:36:17.659 --> 00:36:21.070
of you. God willing, back tomorrow. Until then, I bid
598
00:36:21.090 --> 00:36:21.599
you adieu.
599
00:36:21.619 --> 00:36:21.690
Bye.
