1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise, we are monitoring breaking news involving

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: former FBI director James Comy. He is under intense criticism

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: after this social media post that read eighty six forty seven?

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: Is this a veiled threat to eliminate President Trump? Ahead?

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: How calls for Comy's arrest are growing as an investigation

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: by the Secret Services underway. Plus, as House Republicans are

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: continuing to work through the budget reconciliation process, what do

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: the various proposals mean for your violence? And another story

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: we're watching, a House Democrat has some kind words for

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: President Trump as his trip to the Middle East is

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: coming to an end. So what did he have to say?

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: And a rare sign of Democrat support for the commander

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: in chief? And finally, borders are Tom Holman responding to

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: Squad member AOC for saying that members of the Trump

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: administration have broken the law. Those stories in so much

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: or right now on American Summer News.

17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, America, welcome to American Sunrise.

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Well it's culture.

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: We have breaking news to share with you.

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: Politics.

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: We've got your covered.

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: We have to protect the American family.

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: The American dream is still alive. I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence,

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: and I'm Doctentina.

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 5: Breaking News from Real America's Voice.

28
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: We begin this morning with breaking news. Hello everyone, I'm

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Terrence Bates. Always good to see. I'm here in the

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Real America's Voice, Denver News Room. So the breaking news

31
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: that we have involves former FBI Director James Comey, who

32
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: was under investigation by the Secret Service along with the

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security over a post of seashells that

34
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: seemed to spell out the numbers eighty six forty seven.

35
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: Now it's perceived as a veiled threat against President Trump.

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: You probably remember that Comy resigned as FBI director as

37
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: President Trump called for his firing. President Trump's Director of

38
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbertt out this morning saying that Komy

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: should be arrested.

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: Do you believe Comye should be in jail?

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 5: I do any other person with the position of influence

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 5: that he has, People who take very seriously what a

43
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 5: guy of his stature, his experience, and what the propaganda

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 5: media has built him up to be. I'm very concerned

45
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 5: for the President's life. We've already seen assassination attempts. I'm

46
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 5: very concerned for his life, and James Comy, in my view,

47
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 5: should be held accountable and put behind bars for this.

48
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: It is the big story of the day. So let's

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: bring in doctor Gina and David Brodie, who are both

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: in our Washington, DC studio, to talk more about this.

51
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: To be fair, James Comy has taken down the post,

52
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: and he claims that he didn't realize that it would

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: be perceived this way, that it was not a call

54
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: for violence. Doctor Gina, by your facial expression, I suspect

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: you don't buy them.

56
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: No, I don't buy that, Terrence, and I always like

57
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: to try things on the other foot. Let's pretend that

58
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: this was Telsea who posted this, or that there's for

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: cash who posted this. And forgive me for using the

60
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: casual names here, I should be using their formal names,

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: but anyone in a position. But this is deeper than that, Terrence,

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: because James Comy is someone that we know has deep,

63
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: deep ties into the deep deep State, that we know

64
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: wants to kill Donald Trump in some instances. How do

65
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: we know, for example, this wasn't a code right? He

66
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: needs He needs to be arrested, right, He needs to

67
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: definitely be investigated. There needs to be an investigation of

68
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: the all of the departments that could possibly have taken

69
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: this any certain way, because there have already been two

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: attempts on our president's life. So no one can take

71
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: this as cute or funny. You don't get to be

72
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 2: cute and funny with seashells on a beach somewhere when

73
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: you're James Komy.

74
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: That's the key. When you're James Komy, right, I mean,

75
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: this is not a guy for or a woman whatever

76
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 4: in X state around the country, you know, just doing that.

77
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: By the way, if you if you do that from

78
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 4: a federal standpoint, there's a penalty of up to five

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: years in jail for threatening a president two hundred and

80
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars fine as well. So no matter who

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: you are, that's the deal. But when you're James Comy,

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: that's the point. Listen. He might be a former FBI

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: director Terrence, but once FBI, always FBI always in his

84
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: case Deep State, for sure. He knows people. And I'm

85
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: sorry when you say eighty six, we all know what

86
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: that means. I don't want look I try to look

87
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 4: up eighty six on Google just to kind of see

88
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: how AI if you will, and Google on the algorithms

89
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: were spinning it. They were trying to come up with

90
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 4: some sort of well, eighty six could mean, this could

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: mean that. Now we know what eighty six means. That

92
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 4: means eliminate, That means eliminate. We know it. That's the

93
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: slang and that's the real meaning of that word.

94
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Tvates No, absolutely, and the investigations, and I said, are underway.

95
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: The Secret Service has jurisdiction. Cash Betel, of course, the

96
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: current FBI director excuse me, called for the investigation, but

97
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: also saying that the Secret Service has jurisdiction in this

98
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: particular case. Also the Department of Homeland Security is looking

99
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: into it as well, and outright saying this is an attempt.

100
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: This is an attempt to assassinate the president. That's what

101
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: this call was for. That's exactly what they're saying. All right.

102
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: For more on this James Comy situation and the breaking

103
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: news we just shared, let's bring in Maryland Congressman Andy Harris.

104
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: Congressman Harris, we appreciate you joining us on this Friday morning.

105
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: Your reaction to this post from mister comy.

106
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 6: Look, it's unacceptable, it's unprofessional, it's unacceptable. But he's done

107
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 6: many professional things in his career. This is just the

108
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 6: latest in them. Look, he has to be made responsible

109
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 6: for this. The bottom line is I don't accept his

110
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 6: weak explanation for it. The bottom line is this was

111
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 6: provocative and he should know much better than that.

112
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: Here's my question. You know, there's such a double standard,

113
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: such a double standard. Obviously, if it were any of

114
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: our department directors on the Republican side of things, and

115
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: they wrote eighty six forty six, we know what would happen.

116
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: Heads would absolutely roll. And it reminded me as I

117
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: was writing through Washington, d C. I'm in town for

118
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: the big Maha Institute media event, and it reminded me,

119
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: as I'm on my way here in the back of

120
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: an uber, I'm thinking, you know, I thought about January sixth,

121
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: is what I thought about. And I thought about had

122
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: January sixth the curred with a bunch of Democrats, no

123
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: one would have even thought anything about it. Democrats can

124
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: run through the streets and tear up buildings and destroy property,

125
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: and people can be hurt or worse, and nobody even

126
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: thinks that it's literally a one day newsplip if that.

127
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: But when Republicans did it, it was an insurrection.

128
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 6: Right.

129
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: So here we have this situation where if the Democrats

130
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: don't put this shoe on the other foot and come

131
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: out with a vocal, absolute, you know, a defense of

132
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: Republicans in this of President Trump seeing you know, condemning this.

133
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: If they don't do that, this spells out for such

134
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: a chasm within the between the deep state and conservatives

135
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: that I don't know if it's fixable, but somebody needs

136
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: to really demand some accountability here, don't you think.

137
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: I think that's right. But there has been no accountability.

138
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 6: We had Democrat members of Congress basically calling out in

139
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 6: the last administration, find members of the cabinet in restaurants

140
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 6: and basically, you know, verbally harass them and harassed him

141
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 6: in other ways. Look that they tolerate this. That's the

142
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 6: bottom line. The American people rejected at last November. They

143
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 6: want real justice. I do believe he has to come

144
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 6: before some part of the judicial system and explain why

145
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,559
Speaker 6: this should not be considered a threat to the sitting

146
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 6: president of the United States.

147
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: So just to follow up on that, when you say,

148
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: come in front of the judicial system. What do you mean. Specifically,

149
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 4: we had Tulca Gabbard specifically saying the D and I

150
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: Intelligence had saying that he should be arrested, which I

151
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: thought was a pretty provocative statement. Where do you come

152
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: down on that.

153
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 6: Look, you can arrest him, you can bring him in

154
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 6: for questioning. He has to be questioned. I mean, did

155
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 6: he do this? He says he found it on the beach.

156
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 6: I'm not so sure that's true. You know, Look, he

157
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 6: should be questioned, like any potential threat to the president

158
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 6: of the United States would be questioned. They should knock

159
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 6: on his door, bring him in wrestom or decide to

160
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,479
Speaker 6: arrest him based though on what he says during an investigation.

161
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 6: But he should be investigating. He's again, he is not

162
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 6: above the law. This is the same group that says

163
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 6: no one is above the law, and yet they're going

164
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 6: to come out today and say this is okay, implying

165
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 6: that James Comy is above the law.

166
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: It's not okay, And I think most reasonable American has agreed.

167
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: He has some questions to answer about all of that.

168
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: In the meantime, let's go to you and your colleagues

169
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: there on Capitol Hill. You're dealing with the budget reconciliation process.

170
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: It looks like it's moving forward. But what are you hearing?

171
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: What is the movement happening behind the scenes. Will a

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: vote happen and will it be a successful vote? In

173
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: your mind before Memorial Day, which is what Speaker Johnson

174
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: has called for.

175
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 6: I don't know. I certainly hope, so I think we

176
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 6: still have a way to go. We have to make

177
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 6: sure we deliver on the President's promise to end fraud, waste,

178
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 6: and abuse in the government. Is huge, fraud and abuse

179
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 6: in the Medicare system, Medicaid system. We have one million people,

180
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 6: for instance, who are collecting Medicaid benefits in two different states.

181
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, that's physically impossible. Kind of thing has to

182
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 6: be reversed. And unfortunately, the Democrats have even pushed back

183
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 6: against that. They pushed back against one point four million

184
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 6: illegal immigrants who are on Medicaid. I mean, this is

185
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 6: just craziness.

186
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: And do you what do you predict to happen? What

187
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: do you think will happen? And we're hearing rumors that

188
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 2: this could be actually a pretty good bill at the

189
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: end of the day, and that the Senate might even

190
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: refine it. I'm hearing in more conservative terms. What do

191
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: you think.

192
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 6: I think that's certainly possible. I think if it's not

193
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 6: pushed in a more conservative direction, I think it's going

194
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 6: to be dead on arrival in the Senate. That would

195
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 6: be a waste of a lot of time. So I

196
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 6: hope we iron things out this week into the weekend

197
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 6: and maybe we get it done before Memorial Day. Over

198
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 6: in the.

199
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 3: House, Congressman, what do you say to your colleagues, your

200
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: moderate colleagues, if you will, that want that salt cap

201
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: increased basically, and the Medicaid issues.

202
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: I mean, are you guys going to be able to

203
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: come to a final agreement here? You've got the House

204
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: Budget Committee actually taking up the whole thing potentially today

205
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 4: with the vote even what do you think is going

206
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: to happen? Well?

207
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 6: I suspect that the House Budget final vote will probably

208
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 6: be on Monday. And that's all right. That's still on

209
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 6: a timeline to get this done by a Memorial Day.

210
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 6: But I think there are a group of people, and

211
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 6: myself included, who say, look, we can expand the you know,

212
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 6: the salt deductibility, but in return we need to end fraud,

213
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 6: waste and abuse in the medicaid program because that will

214
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 6: help pay for it, and I think that that's a

215
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 6: reasonable bargain. I hope we get to that bargain by

216
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 6: the end of next week.

217
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: IMSM Harris, thank you so much for your time.

218
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Thanks Congressman, thank you.

219
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: We get an update from the White House straight ahead

220
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: with Brian Glynn and later federal authorities boiled a terror

221
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: plot in Michigan. What was this man planning? We have

222
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: all of these details ahead here on this Freedom Friday,

223
00:11:49,840 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: American Sundays heavy
