1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Head on American Sunrise early edition, Ready Set Wait. President 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: Trump threatens new tariffs and then puts them off. But 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: maybe the threat was the whole point in the first place. 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: You know something, It helps when you're the president and 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: you stop caring so much about what other people might think. 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: That's what it seems like it's going on right here. 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: President Trump pushed ahead with his peace plans for Russia 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: and Ukraine, and he says he wants Russia to rejoin 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: the international community. It was supposed to be the toughest 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: hurdle of all, but R. K. Junior was confirmed as 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: the new HHS Secretary. All he has to do now 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: is make headway against the Democrats, big Pharma, big food, 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: all the media, and his own family. 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: Good luck. 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: The Israel Kamas seesfire deal appears to be back in place, 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: but is the quote all the hostages must be released 17 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: by tomorrow by noon end quote ultimatium still in place? 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: And what happens if Hamas breaks the deal again? And 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: Senator Mitch McConnell may not be able to work or 20 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: even thinks straight, but he or someone in his office 21 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: is making sure he goes into full anti Trump mode. 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: Gee doesn't a. 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: Physically and cognitively impaired guy taking on President Trump's sound familiar. 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: How'd that turn out last time? American Sunrise Early Edition 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: starts now. 26 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom, 27 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 3: and the values that built this nation takes centers to. 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: Your good beefs and bad deaths.

I'm Jake Novak. 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: It is another no tie for I am also continuing 37 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: to add an eye into the word ultimatum. 38 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm doing that. It's early I guess. 39 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: Joining me now is Colchester Group bounding partner and former 40 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: White House staffer doctor James Nozzo. 41 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: Jim Mitch McConnell. 42 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: We got to talk about this elephant in the room 43 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: and a no pun intended on the symbol for the 44 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: Republican Party. It really feels like he's doing the full 45 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: John McCain right now. He is was the only Republican 46 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: vote against RFK Junior. He was the only Republican vote 47 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: against Sulcy gabbartt I believe there might have been one other. 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: Look. 49 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: I understand people who have objections against some of these nominees. 50 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: I get it, but it's hard to believe. This isn't 51 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: personal with Mitch McConnell. And this is the Mitch McConnell 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: who whip votes for the Republicans no matter what the 53 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: issue was for decades. 54 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: Any thoughts on what's making him so upset. 55 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he is the leader. He is one of 56 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 4: the leaders of the rogue state, of the deep state. 57 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: The deep state is being taken away. This is Mitch 58 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 4: McConnell who's worth eighty million dollars and he doesn't come 59 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 4: from family money. And the only thing he's ever done 60 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 4: is being a senator. And the question really becomes wherey 61 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: to get his money? You and I both know where 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: he got his money. He got it in a dirty 63 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 4: way by being a by being a United States Senator. 64 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: And now all of a sudden, the gravy train is 65 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 4: being taken away by both Trump and by Doge. And 66 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 4: he doesn't like it because that's his money. As far 67 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 4: as he's concerned. 68 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, listen. I think also his timing isn't 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: very good. I think that in the first Trump term, 70 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: being a Republican who ever voted against anything Trump said 71 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: or wanted was a highway to major media notoriety. 72 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: But it feels like the. 73 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: News media, as much as they may still not like 74 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, doesn't want to lionize Mitch McConnell like they 75 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: did with John McCain or William Crystal or people like that. 76 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to get that kind 77 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: of treatment. 78 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: Am I right? Or maybe I'm overestimating. 79 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 4: No, I think you're exactly right, Jake, and I think 80 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: you're exactly right for two reasons. One is that the 81 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 4: narrative has changed. Things are completely different than it was 82 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 4: even a year ago, even four months ago, even three 83 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 4: and a half weeks ago. We now have a change, 84 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: a sea change in the way in which the country 85 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 4: is viewing itself and this administration. So the idea of 86 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 4: going and taking on President Trump doesn't look as good 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 4: as it did when it was John McCain in the 88 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 4: first administration. Second thing is Mitch McConnell is cognitively and 89 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 4: physically debilitated. Do I think he has Parkinson's disease the 90 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 4: way in which the president, the former president has, I 91 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: haven't seen enough. Remember, I'm trained as a Harvard trained neurologist, 92 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 4: and as you know, Jake, about three years ago, I 93 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 4: was the one who called you up and said the 94 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 4: President's got Parkinson's disease. I don't know as to whether 95 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: or not McConnell has Parkins's disease, but he does have 96 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: a debilitating disease, one that is going to be progressive. 97 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 4: And frankly, Elaine Chow his wife should take him home 98 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: and he should spend the last few years of his 99 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 4: life if there were a few years left. And I 100 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 4: don't even know if he has that much time to 101 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: be in the blossoms of his family, because he no 102 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 4: longer has the capacity to be the majority leader or 103 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 4: the former majority leader of the Senate. 104 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and full disclosure, Jim did call me about Joe 105 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: Biden and suspecting he had Parkinson's, but he did not 106 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: write me a doctor's note to get off work on Monday. 107 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: So this only goes so far. 108 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: RFK Junior, our Kay Junior is officially in office, and Jim, 109 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: let's try to count all the enemies that are lined. 110 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: Up against him and listen. 111 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: They may be deserved, but this is extraordinary time in 112 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: American history to have a one singular cabinet member, not 113 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 1: even at the level of Secretary of State or Defense, 114 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: with these kinds of enemies. Okay, so here's what I got. 115 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: I got big Food, I got Big Pharma. I have 116 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: had this family and I have wild bears. Did I 117 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: miss anything? 118 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 119 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 4: You have the Democratic Party who completely hates somebody who's 120 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 4: turned against them. I remember this is this is somebody 121 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 4: who comes from the Royalty, the Democratic Party, and here's 122 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 4: someone who's turned their back on the Democratic Party. This 123 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 4: voting against him by the Democrats wasn't just political, it 124 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: was personal. It was your Kennedy, how dare you be 125 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: with Trump? This? This was a personal hit. Now, the 126 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 4: good news of having all of those people vote against you, 127 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 4: you owe them nothing, absolutely nothing. RFK Junior now sits 128 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 4: in that seat, and there's no one whose phone call 129 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 4: he has to take, no one who says, remember that 130 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 4: I supported you and put you over the top. So 131 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 4: RFK is now in a situation in which he can 132 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 4: go and rehabit, get against Big Pharma. And big food, 133 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: and I say, go for it, Bobby, go for it, 134 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 4: go after these people and absolutely nos compunction to take 135 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 4: them out. 136 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd love to see what his social media game 137 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: is going to be. Now it's pretty strong. But imagine 138 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: being able every day to open up a package of 139 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: a Twinkie or something like that and just explain what's 140 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: in there, and all the subsidies been more importantly, all 141 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: the government backing to keep that stuff on our shelves. 142 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: That's probably the low hanging fruit you should stick with. 143 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: That won't be controversial even or not. All Right, let's 144 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: go over to the Middle East. It looks like go 145 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: ahead at all. 146 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it's if you take a look at I 147 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 4: just came back from three weeks in Japan and I've 148 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 4: never felt so good. Why I didn't need anything that 149 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 4: was ultra processed for three and a half weeks. And 150 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: all I can tell you is why don't we have 151 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 4: food like Japan? That's what I. 152 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: Want to know. Yeah, it's an important question. 153 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: Right, Let's go over to the Middle East for a second, 154 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: because it looks like we're back on track with the 155 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. But we're not going 156 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: to see more than a couple of hostages released tomorrow anyway. 157 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: I you know, again, to me the Trump ultimatum telling Kamas, 158 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: I got to release all the hostages by noon tomorrow, 159 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: I would say, if I'm Camas, I don't think that that's. 160 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: Null and void. 161 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: And here's one more thing, again getting to your experience 162 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: as a physician, I don't think there's any more hostages 163 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: that Hamas is going to release that won't look even 164 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: worse than the ones last week. In other words, I'm 165 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: hearing wheelchairs at best for some of them, and God forbid, 166 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: but we know this is a strong possibility some of 167 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: them will be returning in coffins. 168 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to go over well in 169 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: the White House. 170 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 4: No, it's going to go over very badly. I mean, 171 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 4: the question is how many of them are alive, even 172 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 4: just alive, and the answer is probably far less than 173 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 4: we think. And even the people who have been in 174 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 4: Israel pushing that a deal happens so that the hostages 175 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 4: get released, are going to take a look at the 176 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 4: last set of hostages and then the new hostages are 177 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 4: going to come out, and they look like they have 178 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 4: been an Auschwitz, and there's nothing that sort of really 179 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: goes and hits the Jewish soul. Then, to sort of 180 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 4: see again people who have been in Nazi concentration camps 181 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 4: coming out of over a year of Hamas captivity. This 182 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 4: was a real bad blow for Hamas. Why they didn't, 183 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 4: since they knew they were going to be able to 184 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 4: release these hostages several weeks ago, started feeding them the 185 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: best food they possibly could so they didn't look like 186 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 4: they were emaciated is beyond me. But then again, nothing 187 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 4: Hamas does really should surprise any of us. 188 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm obviously clearly very much watching to see what 189 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: happens tomorrow. All right, now, let's go to the Russia 190 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: Ukraine conflict. You know, President Trump is really talking peace 191 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: and that has the neocons like John Bolton very upset. 192 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: Now I'm not a Putin fan. 193 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: I know you're not a Putin fan either, But Jim, 194 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: I think the world wants this war to end. 195 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 2: I think one of the things that the real enemies 196 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 2: of Putin and people who. 197 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: Like to have these conspiracy theories about his supposed power 198 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: in this country, I think something that they're forgetting is 199 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: the patience that the American people have, or the interest 200 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: or our attention span, that's the word. That's the term 201 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: I'm looking for for allowing this war to keep going. 202 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: I think it's long shut and anything to get this 203 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: thing over with I think will. 204 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: Be very popular. 205 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: And I once again warned Democrats and people who are 206 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: very much against everything Trump does, that may not be 207 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: the hill to die on to try to stop peace 208 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: from breaking out over there anytime in the next couple 209 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: of months. 210 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 4: Well, the other thing also we have to remember is 211 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 4: that Putin is in a very bad situation back at home. 212 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: He has expended an extraordinary amount of money and people 213 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 4: in order to do what he's done in the Ukraine, 214 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: and whatever he gets out of the Ukraine peace steal 215 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 4: is going to be scrutinized by the people in Russia. 216 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 4: And my sources of people who I've been talking to 217 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: in Russia think that the chances that Putin does not 218 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 4: have how do they put it, Oh, yeah, an acute 219 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 4: lead poisoning incident within twenty four months is pretty small. 220 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 4: They think that Putin is a dead man walking. 221 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: Well, we've heard that before. I'm certainly not throwing cold 222 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: water on that assessment from you, but we've heard that before. 223 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: I would say, maybe make a piece deal first and 224 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: then ask questions later. That's probably not a bad way 225 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: to go, doctor Jamesoniza, thank you so much. 226 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 2: For joining us. 227 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. I know you just came back 228 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: from Japan. You talked about the food there. We will 229 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: talk soon about some of your political assessments of that region. 230 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: Have a great weekend, Jim, Thanks I Jared being with you. Jake, 231 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: same here. 232 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: All right, okay, class, look to your right and then 233 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: look to your left, because at least one of the 234 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: people you just saw is a Commas terrorist. Welcome to 235 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: the world of terrorists in the dorm room at Georgetown, 236 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: I'll explain. 237 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: And a new report shows. 238 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: How the US aid those guys again funneled massive amounts 239 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: of money to the Taliban. 240 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 2: It may be actually the big. 241 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: Scandal yet in the hour by hour shamefest going on 242 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: in DC. 243 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: American Sunrise early edition will be right back live shot 244 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: of Washington, d C. 245 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: There's something about the monuments in DC, whether it's the 246 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: Washington Monument, the capital, especially the Jefferson Memorial that captures 247 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: the sun. 248 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: At the beginning of the day and the end of 249 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: the day in a really amazing way. I wonder if 250 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: that was intentional. I don't know much about that kind 251 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: of architecture. All right, welcome back to American Sunrise Early edition. 252 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 2: I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us. 253 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: A special wealth to those of you following and chatting 254 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: with us on Getter and Rumble. 255 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 2: I'm checking it out. Hey. 256 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: A new report by Daniel Greenfeld, an amazing journalist by 257 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: the way, I've known him for a long time. It's 258 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: in Front Page magazine shows how the US Aid Office 259 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: Aid Office used a number of shady practices to provide 260 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: one point seven billion dollars due the Taliban. The story 261 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: is filled with details about big palace of cash, shell banks, 262 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: and so much more. 263 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: I urge you to check it out. 264 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: But folks, just for a second here, imagine if you 265 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: had a loved one in the US Armed Forces who 266 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: was killed by the Taliban during our long war in Afghanistan. 267 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: How much people like that, how many people like that 268 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: are there? And how must people who feel that, how much? 269 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: How much people who have that experience, how must they 270 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: be feeling right now? I can't even begin to imagine 271 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: really really sad situation anyway that may be the biggest 272 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: scandal of all giving money to the people who killed 273 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: our American soldiers. But this is likely all just the 274 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: latest aspects of the already shameful and deadly US pullout 275 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: from Afghanistan twenty twenty one under Joe Biden. Remember that now, 276 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: the money was probably this is my hypothesis, hypothesis here, 277 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: The money was probably a payoff to keep the Taliban 278 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: from making that pull out in the aftermath even worse. 279 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how it could be worse, but I 280 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: guess it could have been. It's hard to see if 281 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: we got anything for our money either way. This is 282 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: really again a burgeoning scandal. 283 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 2: Now. It was bad enough. 284 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: When we saw many Hamas sympathizers on American college campuses 285 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: over the last year or so. But as I and 286 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: many others reported last year, there weren't just Kamas sympathizers 287 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: on campus. There were actual members of the terrorist armies 288 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: on campus too. 289 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: And here's the latest example. Check it out. 290 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 5: Meet Mafazi Sanna, a graduate student at Georgetown University's Center 291 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 5: for Contemporary Arab Studies. She's also the daughter of Akhmed Yusuf, 292 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 5: who served as a top advisor for Ishmael hania Har 293 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 5: Mass's former leader. More importantly, Sala herself has served with 294 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 5: him a US designated terrorist organization. 295 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: Right, so she's served with Ramas. 296 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: Georgetown is going to try to play dumb here, but 297 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: come on, I want to explain a couple of things 298 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: about this. Gaza does have a wealthy class of people, 299 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: or did have a wealthy class of people who lived 300 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: in Gaza. They're all members of the top levels of 301 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: the terrorist movements of Ramas or Palestin in Islamic Jihad, 302 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: and everybody knows this. Georgetown's admissions office knows this. So 303 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: when someone applies to Georgetown and can pay the full tuition, 304 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: they are absolutely either a member of the top top 305 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,479 Speaker 1: family of Ramas or they're probably someone that the top family. 306 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 2: Of Ramas is paying. 307 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: The top parts of Kamas are paying to make sure 308 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: that they get into the United States to do more 309 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: than just study. There are a lot of studies about this, 310 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: for example, when it comes to the children of Chinese 311 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: billionaires who are coming into America's universities. But these people 312 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: have every right to come in and study here. But 313 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: when you see that these are the same people who 314 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: are leading some of the anti Israel and anti Smit protests. 315 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: You have to wonder if the reason why they're sending 316 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: them here is not to get a degree and come 317 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: back and lead maybe a health campaign or something at home. 318 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: That's not what they're getting the degrees in this is 319 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: they're getting the degrees in more liberal arts. 320 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 2: Degrees, and they're going to come back home. 321 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: And they come back home and visit and they again 322 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: are mingling with their fellow Hamas terrorists. That this was 323 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: a female in this situation, but there are males as 324 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: well who were probably also combatants in the war against Israel, 325 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: the war against Israeli civilians. I should say you cannot 326 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: play dumb here in this situation, and I hope that 327 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: people won't going forward. Again, everyone has a right to 328 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: an education or they want to apply, and if they 329 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: are accepted on their academic merits, that's wonderful. But universities 330 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: have a responsibility to figure out where the money is 331 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: coming from. You can't just take money from terrorists and 332 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: other groups and say that's all, okay, it doesn't matter anymore. 333 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: That's not how it works. And again, there may be 334 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: some chances to get some regulations to look at where 335 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: the money is coming from for these universities just Katari money, 336 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: which is bad enough. Sometimes it's from comas leadership families directly. 337 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: And Georgetown won't be alone here, so I'm not going 338 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: to single them out. It'll be another university we'll find 339 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: out about pretty soon. All right, coming up, propping up 340 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: America's steel industry isn't just about jobs. It's about national security. 341 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: We'll look at how that is all coming together. 342 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 6: Also, we're flying without a navigational system and can't seem 343 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 6: to change course. 344 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: Are you telling us absolutely everything? Not exactly. 345 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 5: We're also out of coffee and. 346 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: Try not to I try not to panic everyone, but 347 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: a key coffee supplier from Brazil is closing its business down. 348 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: Stay away from sharp objects. American Sunrise early edition is 349 00:17:51,359 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: coming right back. That's a live look at Fort Lauderdale 350 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: on this Valentine's Day. 351 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: By the way, Happy Valentine's. 352 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: Day everyone, or if you are a child under the 353 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: age of ten, Happy Valentine's Day. 354 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: If you're a parent, you know what I'm talking about. 355 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: You're about ten or eleven or maybe twelve before you 356 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: start realizing it's an N not an M. But that 357 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: is a beautiful shot. That's my Valentine to you. 358 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: Every won that beautiful thought of Fort Lauderdale. All right, 359 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: let's take a look at where the markets will begin today. 360 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: We had a rally yesterday. 361 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: Leo's like, we're gonna start down today, definitely down for 362 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: the at least to start. We had a rally yesterday 363 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: when it turned out President Trump was going to delay 364 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: those tarifs that he was threatening. I'll explain that in 365 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: a second. But that's an interesting number there the I'm 366 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: looking at gold here. You know, we're waiting for that 367 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: three thousand dollars per ounce level where twenty nine to 368 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: fifty eight all time highs on gold. But you know, 369 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: there's also people who like bitcoin, and a lot of 370 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: investments in gold have switched over to bitcoin on the 371 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: long last few years. I bet gold would be at 372 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: like thirty six hundred to thirty seven hundred ounce if 373 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: that hadn't that all right? So what did president do? 374 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: What did President Trump do? 375 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 2: Let me explain. 376 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: He signed an order promising reciprocal tariffs on all countries. 377 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: That tariff are goods, but only after the White House 378 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: studies the appropriate tariff levels for each affected country. So 379 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: that is a great way of saying I'm holding the 380 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: sword of damiclays over your head. So it could take 381 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: months and maybe become moot if new trade deals are 382 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: made in the meantime, which I think was probably the 383 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: reason for President Trump's threats in the first place. If 384 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: he gets a couple of trade deals or a couple 385 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: of tariffs reduced against some of our goods, I'll take it. 386 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: The trend is your friend. You don't have to win 387 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: every single game. You just have to start gaining here 388 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: and there. Again, I don't one hundred percent know that's 389 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: the strategy, but it seems like that may work. 390 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: All right. Hey, Look the tariffs on steel. 391 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: And aluminum, however, are in place, the new tariffs that 392 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: he put in place, President Trump did, and. 393 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 2: Our Brian Glenn asked President Trump about it. Check it out. 394 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 7: Go here. 395 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 4: In the campaign, it was huge in Pennsylvania for britten 396 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 4: back mania packed right, Hocketing CEO says, the terrorists where 397 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 4: else is still a little. 398 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: Of what's the feedback? 399 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 7: They are in love with it, as you know in Pennsylvania, 400 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 7: and US Seal is through the roof to roll through 401 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 7: the roof. That's why I didn't want US Steel to 402 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 7: make a deal with Japan or anybody else. I think 403 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 7: it's going to do great. But I think maybe more 404 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 7: than anybody else's steal companies and a littment of companies. 405 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 7: They're in love with what's happened, and this will eventually 406 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 7: be the car companies and chip companies. We have to 407 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 7: have chips made of this country. Right now, everything's made 408 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 7: in Taiwan. Practically almost a little bit in South Korea, 409 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 7: but everything, almost all of it is made in Taiwan, and. 410 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: We wanted to be made. 411 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 7: We want those companies to come to our country. And 412 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 7: all due respect, you know, they took they took the 413 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 7: business away. Taiwan took our chip business away. We had Intel, 414 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 7: we had these great companies that did so well, and 415 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 7: it was taken from us. And we want that business back. 416 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 7: We want it back in the United States and if 417 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 7: they don't bring it back, we're not going to be 418 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 7: very happy. And pharmaceutical as well in China, that's national 419 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 7: secure brand of the prices China and other devices. We 420 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 7: want to get the pharmaceutical and drug business back into 421 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 7: the United States. 422 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: You know, again, don't forget what we also make with 423 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: steel and aluminum. We make a lot of our defense weapons, 424 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: a lot of our military products. The idea that we 425 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: might have to rely on a country that's very friendly 426 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: to us now but may not be in the future 427 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: to get. 428 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: Those things is dangerous. 429 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: It's just one of those things where even some libertarians, 430 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: if you twist their arm well, might admit that maybe 431 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: you have to have a domestically strong steel and aluminum industry. 432 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: And then pharmaceuticals, which Brian brought up at the end. 433 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: I mean, that's another discussion. All right, everyone's stay calm 434 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: because this next story may very much upset you. It 435 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: may frighten you, so I'm giving you the warning, but 436 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: it shouldn't. Everyone take a breath. A major coffee company 437 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: in Brazil, Central Du Cafe, has suspended its operations as 438 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: it seeks government help for its massive debts. Coffee is 439 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: a very volatile business, by the way, so this happens, 440 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: but the firm does believe it can get back into 441 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: operation and cease disrupting world supplies. I've seen a lot 442 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: of you without your coffee in the morning, and that 443 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: makes me afraid. 444 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 2: But I'm coping. 445 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: So here's hoping we get this resolve pretty quickly. All Right, 446 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: here's a shocker. People like trading bitcoin. Yeah, you know that. 447 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: You knew it already, So did the people at the 448 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: online trading platform Robinhood. They just reported a stellar Christmas 449 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: season earning support that included a seven hundred percent rise. 450 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 2: That's not a typo. I wrote it. 451 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: A seven hundred percent rise in revenue related to crypto trading. 452 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: Now Bitcoin's march to one hundred thousand dollars mark that 453 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: was a big reason for it. Of course, it got 454 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: well over one hundred thousand dollar marks for a second, 455 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: We're at ninety six thousand right now this morning. But 456 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: that was a big driver of interest, as you might think. 457 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: And so was the fact that President Trump was coming 458 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: back in office with the promise of maybe less regulation 459 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: for all crypto So check it out. That's what made 460 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: robin Hood a very very nice Christmas, all right. For 461 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: years now, the biggest reason for weaker home sales was 462 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: lack of supply. But with mortgage rates not really coming down, 463 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: the supply problem is just getting worse. More and more 464 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: sellers are yanking their homes off the market and waiting 465 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: for more buyers who can actually afford to buy the homes. 466 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 2: In other words, they're not lowering their prices. 467 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: They're waiting for mortgage rates to come down, hoping that 468 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: will do the job for them, and then they'll get 469 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: the same money, because if you're a seller, you get 470 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: the same money whatever the mortgage rates are, as long 471 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: as the base price for your homestays the same. Again, 472 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: this is something I've been talking about on this program. 473 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: The way that you can get interest rates and mortgage 474 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: rates down is to significantly cut government spending. Hello, Doge 475 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: Musk all that stuff. You cut government spending. That will 476 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: get interest rates down, That gets inflation down. You may 477 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: not believe government is the only driver of inflation, but 478 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: you got to be crazy to think it's anything other 479 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: than the biggest. 480 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 2: Driver of inflation. 481 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: And government spending coming down should help mortgages go down. 482 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 2: That's not a bad policy. All right, Control room, let's 483 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: hit the road another day. 484 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: Another major automaker comes off the politically motivated ev Sanctimony Hill. 485 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: I don't think any of these countries ever companies ever 486 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: really wanted to go fully electric. Accura is the latest 487 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: member of that group. It now says that that goal 488 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: it set a couple of months ago or years ago 489 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: to go all electric with its entire fleet by twenty thirty. 490 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 2: It's only five years by now. They are now admitting 491 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 2: that was a lot of hooey. That's the official term, 492 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: by the way, Hui. 493 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: Yes, Now, Accura says it will probably need to make 494 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: more hybrids first. Uh huh, Hey, I got nothing against 495 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: electric vehicles. 496 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 2: I got nothing against hybrids. I own a hybrid. 497 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: But folks, you gotta go with the market once. Stop 498 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: letting the government tell us what to buy unless it's 499 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: something really, really dangerous. And I'm sorry, a regular GASCR 500 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: is not at the level of a rogue gun or missile. 501 00:24:59,440 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: All right. 502 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: Nissan is also getting hit with some hard realities this morning. 503 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: The company is going to radically downsize three US plants 504 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: and cut twenty percent of its workforce and bring back 505 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: the practice of having to get out and wind a 506 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: crank before your engine starts. Okay, that last one was 507 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 1: an exaggeration, but bad things are happening over there, by 508 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: the way. The three plants where a Nissan is trimming 509 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: the workforce here in the US are Smerna, Tennessee, Canton, Mississippi, 510 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: and an engine plant in Decker, Tennessee. So hopefully they'll 511 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: be able to get off the schneid there in those towns. 512 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: But Nissan again not merging with Honda, which we thought 513 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: was going to happen as late as last week, not 514 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: happening again. So we'll have to see what happens to Nissan. 515 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: Interesting car story. That is an interesting brand. I think 516 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: they have a lot of great models, but they're in trouble. 517 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 8: All right. 518 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: I've been ragging on Ford a bit too much this week, 519 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: making fun of Jim Farley, the CEO. So here's some 520 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: love for the new twenty twenty five Expedition, which goes 521 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: on sale this spring. 522 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: This is what I want everyone to know about. This 523 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 2: is interesting. 524 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: The vehicle is already generating a buzz because of its 525 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: new split tailgate feature. Not everything that's amazingly new and 526 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: technological in a car has to do with the dashboard 527 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: display or horsepower. Sometimes, when you're a parent, you want 528 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: some other kind of technology, and that is demonstrated in 529 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: this video. It is called the split tailgate, which allows 530 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: you to have a regular tailgate, but then hold up 531 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: the bottom a little bit so that all your kids 532 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: stuff like their soccer balls and stuff, doesn't fall out. 533 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: This is genius, especially if you're on a slanted, sloped driveway. 534 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: And by the way, Ford and now this is not 535 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: just me saying this is important. Ford says it was 536 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: so worried about competitors spying on this that they had 537 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: to take it to this a very special studio and 538 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: plant that they have that's top secret. They had to 539 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: keep the prototypes under top top secret guard. 540 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 2: Now the expedition will have a. 541 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: Selling price starting at sixty seven hundred dollars. It goes 542 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: on sale this spring. No, I don't get a commission 543 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: from Ford. And remember I made fun of the company 544 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: earlier this week, so this is all in good fun. 545 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 1: But I do like this technology all right. Now for 546 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: a cool new way to help a worthy cause, listen 547 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: to this. Porsche is going to help the victims of 548 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: the LA wildfires by auctioning off the very last twenty 549 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: twenty three nine to eleven s now Portia made just 550 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: nineteen hundred and sixty three of those cars to commemorate 551 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: the sixtieth anniversary of the nine to eleven model it 552 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: came out in nineteen sixty three. 553 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 2: They retailed this. 554 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: New car, this twenty twenty three version, with the only 555 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: nineteen hundred and sixty three of them. It retailed for 556 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety one thousand dollars each, but this 557 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: last one, because it's the last one available, is expected 558 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: to bring in much more cash. Of course, if Porsche 559 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: really wants to help the wildfire victims, that could just 560 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: make a very big bus and use it to bring 561 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: in some local and state politicians who have. 562 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 2: Some common sense and decency. 563 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: But this is kind of a cool thing I think 564 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: it's going to probably bring in. My guess is if 565 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: it retailed for two ninety one k I bet itic 566 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: it's going to bring in more than three hundred and 567 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars for those victims of those LA wildfires. 568 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 2: And they do need help, all right. Coming up? 569 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: You know how you make sure a meeting with the 570 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: foreign leader goes well? You postpone threatened tarifs against them 571 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: right before. India's Prime Minister Modi loved that for sure. 572 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: And just how bad was the Biden teams neglect of 573 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: the western North Carolina flood victims. New details are coming 574 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: to light, and they're not good. American Sunrise early edition 575 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: will be right back. It's Friday, February fourteenth. Here are 576 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: some of this morning's top stories. On a Valentine's Day, 577 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: Ready set, wait. President Trump threatens new tariffs and then 578 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: he puts them off. But maybe the threat was the 579 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: whole point of the first place. G Those postponed tariffs 580 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: went a long way to make Indian Prime Minister Narendra 581 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: Modi happy to see President Trump yesterday. 582 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: Here they are sitting together, but they actually had a hug. 583 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: I didn't know the Donald Trump hugs anyone. 584 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: The two hugged it out in the West Wing before 585 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: this little sit down. But all kidding aside, that picture 586 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: in this picture must terrify China, But it's truly Splitsville 587 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: for the White House and Mitch McConnell, the former Senate 588 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 1: majority Lee, looks to be in total revote mold revolt 589 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: mode against all things Trump. 590 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: But is he even aware of it? 591 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: The Joe Biden cognitive decline tradition lives on in a 592 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: new form. It helps when you're the president and you 593 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: stop caring so much about what other people might think. 594 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: That's what seems to be at play here. 595 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: As President Trump is pushing ahead with his peace plans 596 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: for Russia and Ukraine, and he says he wants Russia 597 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: to rejoin the international community. 598 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 2: That's pretty controversial. 599 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition continues now. Welcome back to American 600 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak on a no tie Friday. 601 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: This no TI Friday tradition is freeing the masses. My 602 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: next crusade will be letting everyone know in America that yes, 603 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: you can go swimming within forty five minutes of eating 604 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: a tunficial sandwich. But I'm starting with the no ties 605 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: freeing the masses, all right, Welcome back. Bradley Devlin is 606 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: with us. He is the politics editor at the Daily Signal. 607 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: He got the me. He is also doing the note 608 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: time Friday. But Bradley, I think President Trump speaking of 609 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: things that didn't happen. I think he's hoping that the 610 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: tariff threats that he was making leading up to yesterday 611 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: and then he postponed it, sort of saying we have 612 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: to do a study. I think he's hoping they actually 613 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: never go into effect. And I don't think I'm being 614 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: the psychic psychologist here. I think I don't deserve even 615 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: a Nobel prize for guessing that. 616 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: Why does that. 617 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: Seem to be escaping our esteemed mainstream news media when 618 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: they decide to raise the alarm every time he says 619 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: the word tariff and talk about how we're all going 620 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,719 Speaker 1: to have to eat out of a dumpster. 621 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 622 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 9: I think the mainstream media fails to understand how Trump 623 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 9: negotiates with foreign leaders. I mean, this is something that 624 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 9: he does routinely, whether it's with our South American you know, 625 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 9: friends who send their people up in droves to come 626 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 9: into the United States, while he uses tariffs there to 627 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 9: get what he wants on immigration policy. And I think 628 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 9: for tariffs here, he's going to be trying to work 629 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 9: with Mody on confronting China, on making sure that Modi 630 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 9: and the Indian government are good partners, and finding a 631 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 9: peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine, et cetera. So 632 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 9: I don't know if he necessarily wants the tariffs to 633 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 9: go into place, but he's willing to put them into 634 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 9: place and say, hey, we want to be able to 635 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 9: put our products into your market. Why does your market 636 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 9: get to be insulated from American exports but our economy 637 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 9: just gets to have, you know, a fifty billion dollar 638 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 9: trade deficit with the Indian economy. We don't think that's 639 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 9: a good deal for America, and we just want to 640 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 9: be playing on the same level of playing field, right, 641 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 9: We want to be playing on the same terms. And 642 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 9: Trump last night, when I was there at the press 643 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 9: conference in the White House, was saying, you know, India's 644 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 9: a very difficult nut to crack because of the protectionist 645 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 9: trade policies of the Indian government. And in the future, 646 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 9: you know, I've tried, or in the past, I've tried 647 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 9: to negotiate with the Indian government to bring those barriers down, 648 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 9: and in the future if they don't, well, I guess 649 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 9: we'll just have to do what they do to us 650 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 9: and slap the same level of tariffs onto them. So 651 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 9: you can tell that there is something more than just 652 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 9: I like tariffs behind these types of considerations. 653 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you dropped a little bit. You slipped that 654 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: in there, Bradley, that you were at the White House 655 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: last night. 656 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 2: That's great. That's why I regul we're talking with you. 657 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: You know. 658 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: One of the things, though about the US India relationship 659 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: that drives me crazy, and this is true of the 660 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: India Israel relationship as well. We have so much in 661 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: common with them. They're the world's largest democracy. We really 662 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: should have had better relations with them over the many, 663 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: many decades. I think it was mostly India's fault for 664 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: most of that time, because they had a basically communist, 665 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: pro communist, pro Soviet government for so long, and then 666 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: they change back. For the last twenty years or so, 667 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: I think it's been mostly our fault. I think the 668 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: Obama administration, the Biden team weren't keen to be friendly 669 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: with India, and I don't know who they wanted to 670 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: be friendly with as an alternative. I mean, this is 671 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: a one point four billion person population country. They are 672 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: a democracy. They have a leader right now. By the way, 673 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: I think pre date. Yeah, he absolutely does pre date 674 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump in office. He was elected a couple of 675 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: years earlier, and there's a lot of similarities. He is 676 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: kind of also like a populous, make India great again 677 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: kind of guy, and obviously a different personality. All right, Hey, listen, 678 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: let's talk about another international issue, Bradley, the world's anti 679 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: Russia virtue signaling. People on Facebook are going to get 680 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: their hearts in ant right now over the adult and 681 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: practical way. I think President Trump is trying to deal 682 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: with Moscow. 683 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: Check it out. 684 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 8: I'd love to have him back. I think it was 685 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 8: a mistake to throw them out. Look, it's not a 686 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 8: question of liking Russia or not liking Russia. It was 687 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 8: the G eight, and you know, I said, what are 688 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 8: you doing? You guys, all you talk about is Russia 689 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 8: and they should be sitting at the table. 690 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 2: I think Putin would love to be back. 691 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 8: Obama and a couple of other people made a mistake 692 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 8: and they got Russia out. It's very possible that if 693 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 8: that was the G eight, you wouldn't have had the 694 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 8: problem with Ukraine. And if I was resident, you definitely 695 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 8: wouldn't have had the problem with Ukraine. Russia would have 696 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 8: never attacked Ukraine. But you ask a very good question. 697 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 8: The Gaight used to be the G eight, and then 698 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 8: these people threw them out. And I was arguing with 699 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 8: Trudeau and with numerous of the people. Actually Prime Minister Abbie, 700 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 8: a great man from Japan, agreed with me one hundred percent, 701 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 8: and some of the others did too. 702 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 2: But I got there it was the G seven. 703 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 8: As you know, they had already been terminated. I think 704 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 8: it would have been very helpful, and it still would 705 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 8: be helpful to have Russia be a part of that mix. 706 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 8: And I think if they were, I don't think you. 707 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 2: Would have had the problem that you have right now. 708 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 2: And I don't know. 709 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: It just doesn't sound so bad to me. And I 710 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: am really not a Putin fan. I ward an editorial 711 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: about him eleven years ago, and I had his whole government, 712 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: you know, yelling at me. But really, should anyone be 713 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 1: outraged by just even this suggestion, Bradley. 714 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 9: No, I think it's hilarious to watch the media in 715 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 9: real time figure out what negotiations mean. Listen, when you 716 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 9: walk into a room with Vladimir Putin. Yeah, you don't 717 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 9: know exactly what they're going to give you and what 718 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 9: you want to give them, but you want to keep 719 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 9: things ambiguous, right, You're not going to come out and 720 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 9: say that you know, we're going to create all these 721 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 9: different preconditions to at least just get to the table. 722 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 9: If our number one concern is putting an end to 723 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 9: the war in Ukraine, a war that's taken hundreds of 724 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 9: thousands estimates, some estimates say a million and a half 725 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 9: to two million lives. So President Trump his Defense secretary 726 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 9: Pete Hegseth saying that there are some unrealistic expectations from 727 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 9: Western observers, namely that the territorial integrity of Ukraine returns 728 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 9: to its twenty fourteen borders, and that Ukraine still has 729 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 9: a pathway to NATO membership. I mean, then, what right, 730 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 9: You've just totally undermined your ability to go with the 731 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 9: Russians because you've said, actually, what we're going to do 732 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 9: is make sure that we take more territory than what 733 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 9: you've taken in the recent conflict, and we're also going 734 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 9: to make sure that missiles are pointed at you all 735 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 9: across the Ukrainian territory. That's that's an intolerable position to 736 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 9: the Russians. That's a big reason why the Russians decided 737 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 9: to move forward with this, with this invasion of Ukraine 738 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 9: in the first place. And so I think it's absolutely 739 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 9: right for the Trump administration to point out that there 740 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 9: has to be a middle way here, there has to 741 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 9: be a give and take. And and you've even seen 742 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 9: that with the NATO General Secretary saying, oh, well, you know, 743 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 9: it was never an ironclad, permanent commitment that we were 744 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 9: going to have NATO except Ukrainian Ukrainian membership after the 745 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 9: war was over. Let's be real, the NATO General Secretary 746 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 9: was saying in the last last year, fall of last year. 747 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,760 Speaker 9: I believe that the path to NATO membership for Ukraine 748 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 9: was irreversible. Yeah, don't think so, because President Trump's in 749 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 9: office and the NATO Secretary has completely reversed his course, 750 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 9: and a lot of European countries are now getting pressure 751 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 9: not only from President Trump but from the NATO General 752 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 9: Secretary to increase their defense commitments to the alliance and 753 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 9: for the continent security Bradley. 754 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: President Trump may have pulled out his ace in the 755 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: whole argument for the now disgraced us AID office, and 756 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: it's Rkade Junior. It turns out, as many of you know, 757 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: his uncle, President John F. Kennedy created that office. Listen 758 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: to what R. K. 759 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 2: Junior had to say about it post recently. 760 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 6: I agreed, greatly appreciate it. I called you the day 761 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 6: that you announced the term age in. 762 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 2: The USA idea. 763 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 6: My uncle started the USAID in nineteen sixty one. Our 764 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 6: humanitarian pursystem point of our country on this side of 765 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 6: the war. It has been captured by the military industrial complex. 766 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 6: It is because sinisor propagator totalitarian is across and war 767 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 6: across the cloth, and very few people understand how Senator 768 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 6: to this agency really is. And President Trump saw that 769 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 6: and he stood up to mom with a master's show. 770 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 6: And we want to do the same thing with the 771 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 6: institutions that are stealing. 772 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,760 Speaker 2: The health of our children. 773 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 6: We need a revolutionary figure and you are that figure. 774 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 6: And I'm very grateful for you for. 775 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 2: Giving it his opportunity. 776 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: That's a brutal that's a brutal takedown. An office that's 777 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: meant for foreign eight and helping people is now the 778 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: tool of the military industrial complex. 779 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 2: It's pretty rough. 780 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a bit of an amateur historian when it 781 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: comes to JFK, maybe a little bit more than that, 782 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: and I can say pretty definitively that he would be 783 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: horrified by the USAID Office. Now, I think this is 784 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: something that people don't understand. This is such low hanging fruit. 785 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: We are finding out such horrific stuff. But are there 786 00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: people who are going to march down again to that 787 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: again in the coming days and get angry about it? 788 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 2: Shut down? I can't believe this, Bradley. 789 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 9: Oh, I'm sure they will, because these are the last 790 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 9: dollars of the NGO left wing complex. That right, all 791 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 9: of a sudden, something happens and there's just a thousand 792 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 9: people in the street on a Wednesday afternoon. Oh, it 793 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 9: seems like there's a paid activist class on the left. 794 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 9: And where are they getting all that money? Well, probably 795 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 9: from big contracts like the ones Doge has been uncovering 796 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 9: across the federal government. So I think, of course there's 797 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 9: going to be more protests, but they're going to run 798 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 9: out of money at some point because the Republicans in Congress, Trump, 799 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 9: the Executive Branch, Elon Musk, Doge, all those guys are 800 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 9: coming after that cash. And RFK Juniors absolutely right about USAID. 801 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 9: We used that initially to try to help people in 802 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 9: poor and underdeveloped countries, and it's turned into creating institutions 803 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 9: in those countries that sure might help some people, but 804 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,839 Speaker 9: other institutions that are meant solely to sometimes to stabilize, 805 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 9: sometimes influence the governments there in a way that imperils 806 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 9: US national security, that destabilizes certain regions of the world, 807 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 9: and also that just aren't good uses of taxpayer dollars. 808 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 9: When we're talking about you know, underwater basket weaving for undiscovered, 809 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 9: undiscovered tribes of the Amazon or whatever. You know, those 810 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 9: aren't particularly useful expenditures, right. You'd rather see that actually 811 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 9: going to feed the hungry and clothe the homeless, et cetera. 812 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know again, speaking of that kind of stuff, 813 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: read the book Dead Aid by danbie Zamoyo, a brilliant, 814 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: brilliant woman from Golden Sachs who is now a baroness 815 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: in the House of Lords. She explains how foreign aid 816 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: money going to any country, even when it isn't given 817 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: to a terrorist, is bad news. 818 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 2: Hey, Bradley, I just have about fifteen seconds. 819 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: Can you tell us where everyone can find your podcast 820 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: on what really happened in western North Carolina and how 821 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: the Biden administration abandoned them. 822 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 2: How can people find that? 823 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, go to the Signal sit Down on YouTube. That's 824 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 9: the Signal sit Down. I interview Representative Mark Harris. He's 825 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 9: a freshman congressman from North Carolina. He went down to 826 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 9: the disaster zone with President Trump. Talks about his experience 827 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 9: there and talks about how right now FEMA is trying 828 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 9: to push hurricane victims out of their hotels while the 829 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 9: legal migrants, of course across the country get to stay 830 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 9: in theirs. And of course we've seen DHS Secretary Nome 831 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 9: try to claw back fifty nine million dollars that was 832 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 9: appropriated for illegal immigrants in luxury hotels. 833 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 2: This has been a disaster. 834 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 9: It's been a nightmare. Representative Harris and I talk about 835 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 9: all the details that you need to know and how 836 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 9: the Trump administration is trying to fix it. 837 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 2: All right, that's on The Daily Signal. 838 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: Bradley Devlin, he is the politics editor at the Daily Sigal. 839 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us. Coming up, David 840 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: Rody's going to join us from the Big Show. We're 841 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: going to talk about whether panic is setting. 842 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 2: In in DC or not. I'll explain why we're coming right back. 843 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 2: That's a shot of Cleveland, Ohio. 844 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 4: There. 845 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: I used to live there, work at WJW back when 846 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,439 Speaker 1: it was called eight is News. We had to say 847 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: eight is News at the beginning of every story. Cleveland 848 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: turned out to be a great town. I was there 849 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,959 Speaker 1: in the early to mid nineties. The station not so much, 850 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: but Cleveland actually was fun. I got to see nine 851 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: Inch Nails concerts, like at the bar around the corner 852 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 1: for me for like five bucks. 853 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 2: That's how that city was right then. 854 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to American Sunrise early addition to no 855 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: Time Friday, at least for me. We know David Brody's 856 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: never going to comply with no tie Friday, and you 857 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: know what, I kind of respect him for it. But 858 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: still everyone else go with me here, Hey, look, the 859 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: layoffs are coming. The layoffs are coming. I know that 860 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 1: doesn't roll off the tongue like the British are coming. 861 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: But this is what's going on in DC right now. 862 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: We're hearing a lot about this, and there's even a 863 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: story in the Wall Street Journal about how these layoffs 864 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: are pushing these federal workers into It is a tough 865 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: job market for white collar workers. But I want everyone 866 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: to know a couple of things. First thing is, David, 867 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: the layoffs are coming for some very short term workers. 868 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: By that, I mean people who are short timers in 869 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 1: the industry. It's really people who have a year or 870 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: a little bit less than a year on the job. 871 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: So if you are a career worker, some of these 872 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 1: people who are very, very experienced and talented, that's not 873 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: who's getting laid off. The second thing is federal workers 874 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: have a union, despite FDR who worked very hard to 875 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: stop them from getting a union, and he was successful, 876 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: but years later JFK and the one I think biggest 877 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: mistake of his presidency because it's cost us the most 878 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: allowed them to unionize. But David, you're in DC. Are 879 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: people panicking? Are people asking you to live in your basement? 880 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: What's going on over there? 881 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 10: Well, we can only hope so I can charge some 882 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 10: extra rent. But no, that hasn't happened yet, Jake. But 883 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 10: I can tell you this that the Washington Post and 884 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 10: other liberal outlets just right on cue are doing the 885 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 10: sob stories. And look, I'm not trying to say I 886 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 10: don't have compassion for folks that are losing their job. 887 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 10: I mean, obviously just from a kind of a basic 888 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 10: human perspective. You know, obviously their lives will be upended 889 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 10: for a little bit. But then guess what, you'll find 890 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 10: another job. I mean, look, so here's what I mean 891 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 10: by the Washington Post. 892 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 2: I'm looking at this quote. Here there's a well, let 893 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 2: me say this. 894 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,280 Speaker 10: There's a headline in the Washington Post about a photographer 895 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 10: that is giving out free headshots to federal workers. 896 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 2: Come by her studio. She'll give you a free headshot. 897 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 10: To put on LinkedIn because she feels horrible, and she 898 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,319 Speaker 10: says she has to help these federal workers somehow, some way. 899 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 10: And then if you actually go inside that Washington Post article, 900 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 10: you start to hear the sob stories that this is 901 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 10: one lady who says she worked at USI AID and 902 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 10: she said, quote, babies are going to die, children are 903 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 10: going to die. The repercussions are so much bigger than 904 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,319 Speaker 10: just one individual like myself losing their job. And then 905 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 10: another woman said, getting rid of our work diminishes the 906 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 10: American brand of generosity. Look, here's the thing. I mean, 907 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 10: don't get me started on generosity as it relates to 908 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,720 Speaker 10: we give out so much money all over the world, 909 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 10: as you know, Jake, So don't start me on that. 910 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 10: But having said that, look, this is kind of the 911 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,399 Speaker 10: sentiment and answer your question. We're going to start now 912 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 10: to hear a lot of these stories regarding federal workers 913 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 10: being their lives are upended. But the truth of the 914 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 10: matter is is that you know, many of them are 915 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 10: getting chance to have an eight month severance package. 916 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,320 Speaker 2: Listen, can I get an eight month severance package? Please? 917 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 7: Can I? Please? 918 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 10: I mean, one time I was let go for my job. 919 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 10: One time I got a three month severance package, and 920 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 10: I was like, hey, that's not bad. 921 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:49,800 Speaker 2: I'll take three months. 922 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 10: You know, eight months, come on, come. 923 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 8: On, Jake. 924 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:54,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 925 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, if they're looking for people to 926 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,720 Speaker 1: lay off first, there were a number of federal workers 927 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: who made fun of the keys Stone Pipeline workers when 928 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: Joe Biden canceled that project and cold and said to them, 929 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: go learn how to code. I would start with those people. 930 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: Let's lay those people off first. If we're looking for 931 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: deserving folks. Hey, you just got about twenty seconds left. 932 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 1: What's coming up on the finale for the week? The 933 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: Friday edition of The Big Show. 934 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 10: Yes, the finale. It's like a Broadway show. The curtain 935 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 10: closes at ten am Eastern of this morning. We're going 936 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 10: to have Brian Glenn, of course from the White House. 937 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 10: Also Bill Federer will be here, a historian. Just a 938 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 10: fascinating tale if you will, down memory lane as it 939 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,240 Speaker 10: relates to Valentine's Day and the origins that actually started 940 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:36,839 Speaker 10: in the church. And there's a lot more to that, 941 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 10: but we'll dissect that today on Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day, Jake, 942 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 10: not that I'm saying that from you. 943 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 2: From me to you in a weird sort of way. 944 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,359 Speaker 10: I just want to say Happy Valentine's Day to hear Jake. 945 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and for again for all of you over the 946 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 1: under the age of ten.
