1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Coming up on American Sunrise early edition. We know his face,

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: we know his name, and his motive seems clear too.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: We've the latest on the Ivy League whiz kid, who

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: police say pulled the trigger in the murder of the year.

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: Subway hero Daniel Penny is fully acquitted, but the fight

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: for him and the safety of all New York and

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: all of our cities is far from over.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: We have more on the latest threats.

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: ASSAD has gone in Syria, but it's not like the

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: terrorist rebel forces are any kind of in charge politically. Meanwhile,

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Israel has taken a giant eraser to one of the

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: largest military forces in the world.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: So now what. For weeks now, it's.

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: Been Donald Trump who has been taking the leadership role

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: for America on the world stage, and we might like that,

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: but someone else is supposed to be president, and even

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: some Democrats think it's terrifying and dangerous that Joe Biden

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: shows no interest in the job at all. What exactly

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: is he busy doing instead? And while Joe is checked out,

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Tulsi is trying to check in. President Trump's choice for

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence faces one of the toughest confirmation

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: battles of all of the Trump team members, and now

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: she's making the rounds on Capitol Hill. American Sunrise Early

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,199

Speaker 2: gonna judge you.

Speaker 3: that matter.

00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: have found.

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Nobak starts now.

34
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: Good warning everyone, I'm Jake Novak. Thanks for joining us

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: here on American soun Early Edition. Well, police, and more importantly,

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: prosecutors have now identified the man they say shot United

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk last week.

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: They say it's twenty six year old Luigi Mangioni. He's

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: the shooter. Now, Mangioni is the graduate of the Ivy

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Leagues University of Pennsylvania and here you see him giving

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: the Valetoria address at the private Guilman School in Baltimore

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. Now, joining me now to discuss this

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: still developing story is Kevin Smith. Kevin is the founder

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: of the Loud Majority, and The Loud Majority Live is

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: also the title of his show on Rumble. He's also

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: a member of Our Long Island Posse. Today, Kevin, the

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: evidence looks pretty damning and Mangione has now been formally

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: charged with murder by New York prosecutors.

49
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: That happened overnight for those of you just waking up.

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: But it looks like we're dealing with and I know

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm editorializing yet, but I bet it really looks like

52
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: we're dealing with yet another privileged young person who somehow

53
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: became radicalized and violent.

54
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: What are some of the red flags you see here, Kevin?

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean, judging by this kid's social media. With

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: this guy's social media, he seemed to have a pretty

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: good life. I mean, he's backpacking in Hawaii. He went

58
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: to an Ivy League school. He seemed to come from

59
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 4: a relatively good family. But that wasn't enough for him.

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 4: That wasn't enough. He decided to take his left wing,

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: his radical left wing views which he got at his

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: prestigious university that people like you and I don't get

63
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 4: to go to. And you know, he decided to take

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 4: his frustrations out on the CEO of a company. And

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: what's so worrying about this is the sort of stochastic

66
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: terrorism that's going on here. He did it to prove

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: a point. Now we don't know the exact motive of

68
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: why he did it yet, but it would seem as

69
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: though he just reached twenty five years old, seemed to

70
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: have left his parents' health care system or his parents'

71
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: healthcare coverage, and now he's taking his views out on

72
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: a ceo. This could set a very dangerous precedent if

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: it's not called out by everyone, and unfortunately it hasn't been.

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: There's been some people selling breeding this murder and it's

75
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: terrifying the state.

76
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 5: You know.

77
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: That's a really good point.

78
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: And the thing that really hit me overnight and early

79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: last night actually is this is a guy who had

80
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: a dual BA and masters. He graduated with the BA

81
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: and Masters in engineering from Penn. So this is a

82
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: brilliant young person and there are people out there are

83
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: going to say, like, well, he was just trying to

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: strike a blow for people who can't get healthcare coverage.

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 2: No, he wasn't.

86
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 1: Okay, this is someone who could have created an app

87
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: or another method to increase health care supply to lower

88
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: the cost. I want ever one to understand this, if

89
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: you're cheering this man, the killing of one healthcare company CEO,

90
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: even though it's the biggest company, will have no effect

91
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: whatsoever on the cost for the poor, the cost for

92
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: the middle class, or anyone else.

93
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: None.

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: In fact, it may raise costs because now they're going

95
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: to pass down the cost to you and me for

96
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: the extra security all the executives are going to need.

97
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: So if you want to strike a blow for someone,

98
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: you don't kill a CEO who can be easily replaced.

99
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: But you know, obviously I don't think you're disagree Go ahead.

100
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 4: No, you're absolutely correct. And I mean where do we

101
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 4: take this from here? I mean, if the stock market

102
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: has a bad day, do you go down to Wall

103
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: Street and shoot some you know, a stock trader, If

104
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: somebody gets your order wrong in a restaurant, do you

105
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: shoot the waiter? Like, at what point are we going

106
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: to say this is enough is enough? And you know,

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: as you said, there are a lot of people out

108
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: there celebrating this, and it's it's horrifying, absolutely horrifying.

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also a monument too stupid but anyway, Kevin,

110
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: let's stick with law and order for this next topic.

111
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Penny, thank god, has been acquitted of all the charges,

112
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: and that's great news. But there's still the matter of

113
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: protecting him from death threats, making sure he gets a job.

114
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: That kind of thing and even more menacing. There are

115
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: several groups in New York and nationwide that are at

116
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: least hinting at violence and response to this.

117
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: A quick quitto.

118
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Now, we had some protests last night in New York,

119
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: the f train on the subway, a bunch of posters

120
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: on it.

121
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: I'll give him that. I'm not that worried if that's

122
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: all they're going to do. But are you worried that.

123
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: We could see something akin to the twenty twenty Black

124
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: Lives Matter riots in response to this acquittal?

125
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 4: You know, normally I would say yes, because people out there,

126
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: bad actors like Haalk Newsome are are always looking for

127
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: the spotlight. But it seems as though the sort of

128
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: BLM fervor has fizzled out for several reasons. One, many

129
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 4: of their protesters are too busy out there protesting Israel

130
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 4: right now to get in line.

131
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 5: With this one.

132
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: But also this just isn't the case for that, This

133
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 4: isn't the this isn't the sort of George Floyd Eric

134
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: Gardner's situation. It's not a cop, it's a it's an

135
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 4: average citizen. So I'm not as worried about it as

136
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: I as I was in twenty twenty, just because it

137
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: seems as though the energy has really died off from

138
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: the whole BLM antifa, let's set everything on fire movements.

139
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 3: I hope I'm correct.

140
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: I could be wrong, because you never know what these people,

141
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 4: but it's it's it is great to see that Daniel

142
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: Penny has been acquitted of this. You you were making

143
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: the joke earlier that everyone on the show today is

144
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: from Long Island. Daniel Penny is from Long Island. He

145
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 4: could have been he could have been any one of

146
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: us on that train. And I'm happy that somebody stepped

147
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: up protected average citizens, somebody who knew how to protect himself,

148
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: was a good Samaritan and was finally acquitted.

149
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: Kevin Let's move overseas for a second. The overthrow of

150
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: Basha Assad and his army in Syria, leaving a big

151
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: power vacuum in that country. And even though Presidents Trump

152
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: says it's not our fight. Look, he doesn't take office

153
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: for another forty one days, so I think you know

154
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: what I'm getting at here. Will the Biden team make

155
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: the situation even worse and somehow commit US troops and

156
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: a lot more money.

157
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: Or something worse. I'm worried about that, how about you.

158
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: Well, look, when it comes to Democrats, the question will

159
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: they make it worse is almost exclusively yes. We know

160
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: that Joe Biden is the last vestige of this sort

161
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: of neoliberal, neo conservative establishment that thinks nation building is

162
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: the way forward, and the fall of or the leaving

163
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: of Basher als Sade is something that Democrats have wanted

164
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: for quite some time. We know that Syria is next

165
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: on their list after they destroyed Libya and sent that

166
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 4: country into a failed state. So I worry that Joe

167
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: Biden will will step up in hamstring the foreign policy

168
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: of the Biden of the of the incoming Trump administration.

169
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: Now, I think you know one of the ways they

170
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: may try to execute more focus on Syria. Because speaking

171
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: of Syria, Kevin the Trump team member with the hardest

172
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: path to confirmation other than Pete Hegseth is Tulci Gabbert.

173
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: For d and I and years ago, you know, she

174
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: took this very controversial trip to Syria as a guest

175
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: at Bashar Assad.

176
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: By the way, a lot of Democrats. Other Democrats did

177
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: that too, like Nancy Pelosi.

178
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, as Tulsi works the halls of the Senate

179
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: to drum up support, I'm not sure Asad being ousted

180
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: is good or bad news for her. I don't really

181
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: know how the Democrats are going to try to use

182
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: it as me be a gotcha moment against her.

183
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: Is she in trouble with Trump's base at all?

184
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 6: Though?

185
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: Are they rallying around her like they are around Pete Hegseth.

186
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I think I think Tulsa Gabert, many of the

187
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: Democrats who have come over to the America first side,

188
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: people like Tulsi, people like RFK, are a lot of

189
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: the reasons why we're going to be taking office in

190
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: just over forty days. So I think Tulsa Gabert has

191
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: made the rounds on all of the all of the

192
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: shows that many on the many in the MAGA base

193
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: and enjoy. We've gotten to know her. We know that

194
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 4: she's real, we know that she's anti war, which is

195
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: a huge component of the America first base where Look,

196
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 4: I'm not doubting that things are very bad in Syria,

197
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: but I still don't know why. That's my problem, which

198
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 4: is the way I'd see a lot of US feelings.

199
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 7: So I think Tulsi.

200
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: I think Tulsi flies through unless the Warhawks stopper, unless

201
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: the warmongers of the neo conservative establishment don't like her

202
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 4: answers on nation buildings. So I think bisherl I saw

203
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: it going down right now could negatively impact her confirmation process.

204
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: Well, one thing I can report that might help her,

205
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: and people should get that out, is that some of

206
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: the most staunchly pro Israel, pro Jewish defense groups here

207
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: in the United States and the last week have come

208
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: out very strongly for Tulci Gabbart. And I know that

209
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: was a question that some pro is groups had about

210
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: her when she visited with ASADS. So some of these

211
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: groups who are right of the right, believe me, are

212
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: supporting her, then that's probably good news.

213
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: Kevin.

214
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: I want to get back to Joe Biden just for

215
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: a second, because we know he may be involved in

216
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: some kind of effort to screw things up on purpose

217
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: in Syria. Like we were talking before, for the most part,

218
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: he seems totally checked out. Okay, maybe our first instinct

219
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: is to say, great, get out Joe, But again, we're

220
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: forty one days away from Trump's inauguration, and if the

221
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: last seventy two hours have taught us anything, forty one

222
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: days is an eternity and no one is really minding

223
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: the store, at least that we know of. And Donald

224
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Trump is doing a lot, but he's still not officially

225
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: the president. You know, it doesn't have the nuclear codes

226
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: to put it that bluntly, I see this as a

227
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: national security scandal.

228
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: How about you? Are you as I mean, I don't

229
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: think this is a great thing right now?

230
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 7: No, it's not.

231
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 4: And look, I'm not a fan of Joe Biden. I'm

232
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: not a fan of Kamala Harris. But you know, they

233
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: were put in charge of the country. And the question

234
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 4: remains is currently who is running the country?

235
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 7: Who?

236
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't even know. I can't even think

237
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: of a name. Ron Klain is no longer there, is it?

238
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: So is it?

239
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: Is it? Is it the national security people running it?

240
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 5: Who is it?

241
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 4: Tony Blinken?

242
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 5: Is it?

243
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: Karine Jean Pierre?

244
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 5: Is it?

245
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: You know?

246
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 4: Are they calling up Joe and Mika over on MSNBC

247
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: and asking them what they think they should do. I

248
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: have no idea who's running the country, and I would

249
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 4: rather have someone I don't like running the country that

250
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: at least we can look to than what a a

251
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 4: gaggle of Ivy League elitists sitting around a room like

252
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: swirling their mustache on how they can destroy the next.

253
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 5: Country before Trump gets in.

254
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 7: It's a it's a.

255
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 4: Little terrifying someone somebody needs to be in charge, and

256
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 4: it doesn't seem like there's anybody driving this train.

257
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, you know, I have to agree, and I

258
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: have to say that understand, folks, that not knowing who

259
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: your leader is is a war against your freedom. Even

260
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: in Soviet Russia, the members of the Polyp euro were

261
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: well known to the public. It doesn't mean that they

262
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: had real accountability, but at least they had they didn't

263
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: have anonymity. And I don't know who's been running their

264
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: White White House over the last several years, but certainly

265
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: not since June. Kevin Smith, thank you so much for

266
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: joining us. It's been a great discussion, and uh, let's

267
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: keep our fingers pressed. Full disclosure. I did go to

268
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: one of those fancy schools. But promise, I promise, I

269
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: promise I didn't listen in class. And I've got a

270
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: lot of fraternity brothers who will go on the stand

271
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: to prove that.

272
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: Anyway.

273
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: Just ahead, we'll dig back into the Pete Hegseth nomination,

274
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: that battle and get a key take on what and

275
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: who President Trump and his supporters need.

276
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: To do to win that battle.

277
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: And later all those department stories no one goes to anymore.

278
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: You know those places you'll chop online? Right, Well, what

279
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: are you going to do with those properties? Would you

280
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: consider living at the mall?

281
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: Don't laugh?

282
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: Wall Street thinks you just might want to. We'll explain

283
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes. American Sunrise Early Edition.

284
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Okay, we've been talking about how everyone.

285
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: On this show on air and off areas from Long

286
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Island and we show the Manhattan skyline.

287
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: What's wrong with this? No, we love Manhattan.

288
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: Hey, The battle for Pete hegg SAT's Defense secretary nomination

289
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: is continuing in Washington and Jackisidy's Human Events program Here

290
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: on RAP he spoke to one expert about the extreme

291
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: hypocrisy on display right now in Capitol Hill. Check this

292
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: out how.

293
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: The American presumption of innocence.

294
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 8: President Trump gets his cabinet he wants and Lester, they're

295
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 8: just qualified. And if someone's gonna say that Pete was

296
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 8: a womanizer or he drank too much in his past

297
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 8: and therefore he's not qualified to take public office, I

298
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 8: think then there are a lot of senators who would

299
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 8: be disqualified under that standard.

300
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 5: So if they want to be hypocrites, we'll call them

301
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,239
Speaker 5: out on their hypocrisy.

302
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 8: And you know, well, not only will we call them out,

303
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 8: we'll put people to primary, put people up to primary.

304
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 9: Then well, you know, I noticed that, you know, you

305
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 9: mentioned people up to primary. You yourself, by the way,

306
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 9: hail from the great state of Iowa. And Joni Earns

307
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 9: the senator over there. Now, I'm going to give her

308
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 9: a little credit. I will give her a little credit

309
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 9: because she was posting up on Twitter earlier today that

310
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 9: she had a great meeting with Tulsea Gabbert and a

311
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 9: great meeting with Cash Hottel. And I think you know something,

312
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 9: Senator Earnst, that's wonderful. That's the type of behavior that

313
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 9: we love to see. And I believe she's going to

314
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 9: be having another meeting with pete Hegseth here in a

315
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 9: couple of days.

316
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: Is that what you're hearing as well?

317
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 9: On the Joni ernstfront, Mike, Look.

318
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 8: I know Joni Ernst and I like her. She's my

319
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 8: home state senator. Sometimes she gets bad advice from people,

320
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 8: you know, when these senators go to Washington, when they

321
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 8: surround themselves with Trump deranged DC insiders, they sometimes they

322
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 8: offer bad advice to these senators.

323
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 5: And so number one, I would recommend.

324
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 8: These senators actually hire people who are in touch with

325
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 8: their constituents back home. And then number two, I would

326
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 8: say this about Jony. She is going to do her

327
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 8: job and fully vets these nominees, and at the end

328
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 8: of the day, after she does her homework, I think

329
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 8: she will vote to vote to confirm Pete hexxth and

330
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 8: that is the right thing to do. Again, we don't

331
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 8: have a meet too presumption of guilts. There are a

332
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 8: lot of holes in this story that I've heard from

333
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 8: this accuser.

334
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 5: These allegations are very serious.

335
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 8: Of a cabinet pick actual raped a woman, he should

336
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 8: not get confirmed to anything.

337
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 5: But I don't think that's what happened here.

338
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 8: I think the police investigated these allegations.

339
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 5: And declines to bring charges. So that raises a big

340
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 5: red flag.

341
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 8: If you can't even get California law enforcement to take

342
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 8: this allegation seriously, maybe it's not serious.

343
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: And remember you can catch human events a Jackie VH

344
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: Monday through Friday here on Real America's Voice, and that

345
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: show airs from two to three pm Eastern time. But

346
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more right now

347
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: about Pete Hegseth and this battle and what it reminds

348
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: me of.

349
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: I have three words for all of you, Ulysses S. Grant.

350
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: I'll explain now.

351
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: Grant was the very controversial choice by President Abraham Lincoln

352
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: during the Civil War to sume the lead the lead

353
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: general role of.

354
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: The Union Army.

355
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: Now, when Lincoln chose Grant, many of his advisors were horrified.

356
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: They pointed out Grant's history of drinking and that he

357
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: wasn't from exactly a higher class family. But after general

358
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: after general who seemed to be more interested in posing

359
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: for portraits than winning the war, Lincoln knew Grant would

360
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: be different. His answers to those who objected to Grant were, quote,

361
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: I cannot spare this man.

362
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: He fights end quote.

363
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: I think Pete Heggseth is a fighter too, and he's

364
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: proving that right now, and that's really really important. By

365
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: the way, if you'd like to read more about the

366
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: General Grant, the General and the President Ulysses Grant and

367
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: this particular story that I just told you you gott

368
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: agreed ron chernow is excellent twenty seventeen book Grant.

369
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: You'll be very glad you did. Don't worry. I won't

370
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 2: quiz you on it.

371
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: It's a very long book, but that means you just

372
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: have a lot of enjoyment as you get through it.

373
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: And by the.

374
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: Way, you'll learn that the way people unfairly treated Grant

375
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: when he was a president not only mirrors the treatment

376
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth is getting, but the treatment President Trump has

377
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: been getting ever since he came down that escalator in

378
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen at Trump Tower.

379
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: You're going to really enjoy this book.

380
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: But I think it'll help you understand that sometimes presidents

381
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: need people by their side.

382
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: Who fight, and you have to fight sometimes.

383
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: If Pete Hegseth and the Republicans around Trump can't get

384
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: heg Seth confirmed, and I think this fight is going

385
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: to be a lot easier to win than some of

386
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: the other things they want to do with the Pentagon,

387
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: then there's no hope for the whole administration's Pentagon agenda.

388
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's becoming clear to a lot of

389
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: Trump supporters and the President himself.

390
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, you know about Russia, Russia, Russia, but.

391
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: Our money is being affected by all things China right now,

392
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: especially this week. I'll have the details on how Beijing

393
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: through a wrench into that recent Wall Street.

394
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: Rally we've been enjoying.

395
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: And also, Joe Biden grabbed the worst President title away

396
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: from Jimmy Carter a long time ago, but something he's

397
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: doing or maybe not doing right now is really making

398
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: old Joe look even worse by comparison. Brace yourselves. We'll

399
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: have the story and the details when we come back.

400
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: That was kind of cool. I saw the bitcoin.

401
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Necklace around the bull here on there on Wall Street. Now,

402
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the live futures here on

403
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: American Sunrise early edition. The live futures market looks like,

404
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit of a slight, slightly positive

405
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: open for Wall Street this morning. We had a down

406
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: day across the board yesterday, but still this has been

407
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: such a positive year for stocks, and it started as

408
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: I was talking about yesterday, it started to get even

409
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: more positive when the markets kind of woke up and

410
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: realized that Donald Trump was going to win the election.

411
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: We'll see how things go.

412
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: We are officially now on what people would like to

413
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: call a Santa Claus rally. Some people think the Santa

414
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: Claus rally starts like in September.

415
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: No, if you have a Santa Claus rally, it's starting

416
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: around now.

417
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: Just a few day before Christmas, a couple weeks before Christmas.

418
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: And if we're going to get that at better start now.

419
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: Because yesterday was a down day.

420
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: Now, a big reason for the losses yesterday was China.

421
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: The Beijing regime, I hate to call it, the Chinese government.

422
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: The Beijing regime is expected to take aim at AI

423
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: chip making juggernaut in Vidia, for those of you who've

424
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: heard that name in video, is a name of the

425
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: company that makes all those AI chips that are the

426
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: best right now.

427
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: And they're no surprise.

428
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: They are charging in Vidia with anti trust or monopoly practices.

429
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: That's what happens to every American tech company.

430
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 7: Now.

431
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: Nvidia has been the biggest stock market winner in this

432
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: whole AI craze. It's more than a crazy that it's

433
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: for real, and anything that threatens it gives investors the blues.

434
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: So in Vidia shares are still up one hundred and

435
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: eighty percent so far this year. God bless you if

436
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: you had a lot of Nvidia's shares, But they were

437
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: down yesterday by a few percent. They're also down again

438
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: this morning, but not by as much. All Right, it's

439
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: not quite the plot of a Madman episode if you

440
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: remember that show, but advertising giant Omnicom is buying inter

441
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: Public Group to form the biggest ad agency in the

442
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: world twenty billion dollars in annual revenue. That's a lot

443
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: of money.

444
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 2: Now.

445
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: The move combines the agencies who created the Apple Think

446
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: Different campaign, the MasterCard Priceless ads, and the Got Milk messaging,

447
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: among others. I mean, some of the ads that you

448
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: really remember. These guys and gals made it. But before

449
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: you get too awed by their supposed genius, remember these

450
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: are also the people. They're supposed to be an advertising

451
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: and messaging and they name their companies with the pathetically

452
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: generic and unexciting names like Omnicom and Interpublic. I'm sorry

453
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: those are awful names. Seriously, first thing, first job, get

454
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: a better name. But let's see if they can do that.

455
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: All right, we're just one day away from the big

456
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: November consumer inflation report, and you know, President Trump isn't

457
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: president yet, so it's not expected to show much relief

458
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: from higher prices.

459
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: Remember they said inflation was just transitory. Now, in fact,

460
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: the annual inflation.

461
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: Rate is expected to tick higher from two point six

462
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: percent to two point seven percent. Again, that's not a

463
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: big jump, I get it. But it's not going down.

464
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: That's the problem. And this all comes as President Trump

465
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: said on Sunday, remember this on Meet the Press. He said,

466
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: if you had to summarize his election victory, it would

467
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: be one word groceries. And tomorrow we might find out

468
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: why that's even more true. All right, here we go again.

469
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: We can give you some insight or information that only

470
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: you were going to know about a company we all love.

471
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: Every ten years or so, another candy or food company

472
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: tries to buy America's iconic Hershey's chocolate company. Okay, they

473
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: try every ten years, And right now there are reports

474
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: that European snacking giant Mandalize as the name of the company,

475
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: is trying to make the buyout again of Hershey's. They

476
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: failed back in twenty sixteen. Now Mandalese has already about

477
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Cadbury and they successfully bought America's Oreo Cookies, among a

478
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: lot of many other of our iconic snacks. But I

479
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: want to explain why Hershey will never be bought out. Okay,

480
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: it's because of something really interesting. The saintly Milton Hershey

481
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: and his wife kat Catherine. Many of you know, they

482
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: didn't have children, so they set up the highly respected

483
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: Hershey's School. It was originally only supposed to be for orphans,

484
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: but they eventually expanded it to anyone who wanted to,

485
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: who really needed that educational opportunity. And they made sure

486
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: that the school controls the company, the board of the school,

487
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: not the other way around. In other words, the board

488
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: of the school actually controls Hershey, and that board is

489
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: smart enough to know never to trust any outside enterity

490
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: that didn't have the love for the children that Milton

491
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: Hershey had to ever let take control of the company.

492
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: They try this every time. Now, every decade or so,

493
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: another hot shot team of legal of new lawyers, new

494
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,479
Speaker 1: young lawyers comes around and thinks they can get around

495
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: the stipulation.

496
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: But it never works.

497
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: Now her shee shares are up because anytime a company

498
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: is being mentioned for a takeover, almost always their shares

499
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: go up.

500
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: And if you have her she shared, enjoy that.

501
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you the chances of this deal going

502
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: through unless some kind of lightning strikes on that school board,

503
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: probably not going to happen. So rest easy everyone her

504
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: She's just going to stay in America in the hands.

505
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: It's not going to work this time either. Now, speaking

506
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: of lost causes, the Biden of inministration is being urged

507
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: to deduce everything it can to make life much harder

508
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: for the Trump team when it takes office on January twentieth.

509
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: That request is.

510
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 1: Coming from the corrupt regime media. Now on Steve Bannon's

511
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: war room, Steve talked with his contributor Bradley There about

512
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: a Politico column that openly calls on Joe Biden to

513
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: keep on creating obstacles to progress.

514
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

515
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 10: The story, the political story in particular, again is telling

516
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 10: him he needs to get off his duff. He needs

517
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 10: to do what he can to hurt Trump in the

518
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 10: next forty two days. That means pardons, paroles, special classes

519
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 10: for illegal immigrants Trump Ukraine, for example, torning Trump in

520
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 10: Ukraine and elsewhere.

521
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 5: So the story is.

522
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 10: Telling Biden to get off his stuff, get into action

523
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 10: to hurt Trump as much as possible, to help the

524
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 10: Democratic Party because today only Biden for the next forty

525
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 10: two days and then the Rhino Republicans in the Senate

526
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 10: are going to be able to thwart Trump's agenda. So

527
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 10: they're telling them to get going, work harder, do more

528
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 10: to thwart Trump.

529
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 11: Do My thesis that we've got them cornered in the

530
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 11: fact that they do these blanket preemptive pardons, which are

531
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 11: unheard of in American history.

532
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: Blanket preemptive pardons. We've got them.

533
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 11: Amy Klobcher and a lot of the more responsible Democrats.

534
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 5: Saying you can't do this.

535
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 11: I'm not supportive of you're going to blow us up.

536
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 11: But if they don't do it, they've opened themselves up

537
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 11: for these legitimate and continuous investigations.

538
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 10: Your thoughts, sir, well, I think the Democrats are solely

539
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 10: concerned with power at the end of the day, so

540
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 10: they'll do whatever is necessary just to saying that and

541
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 10: to shield the party and the key actors who are

542
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 10: involved in those activities from any type of justice, So

543
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 10: I expect massive pardons, see like we've never seen.

544
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 5: In those instances.

545
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 10: But also for groups that we're not talking about, for example,

546
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 10: the illegal aliens, and of course it's a legal issue,

547
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 10: whether you can parole them, whether you can create special classes.

548
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 10: But he's got forty two days to take a sledgehammer

549
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 10: to the United States and the pillars of our society,

550
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 10: our economy, our culture, our national security.

551
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 5: We should suspect that he's going.

552
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 10: To again, you know, turn off the TV, no more

553
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 10: Golden Girls episodes and get to work hitting the United

554
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 10: States as hard as you can.

555
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 5: To thwart Trump. Just the whole point.

556
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: And remember you can catch the eventAs Warroom here on

557
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: Real America's Voice every Monday through Friday from ten to

558
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: noon Eastern time. But let's just take a moment to

559
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: understand just how awful the Biden team is acting here.

560
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: And I say Biden team because it's so hard to

561
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: believe Joe Biden himself has the capacity to orchestra anything.

562
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take you back.

563
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: Let's compare him to that other disaster of a president

564
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, Jimmy Carter. Now, as bad as Carter was,

565
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: he spent the transition period trying to make things better

566
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: in at least one factor for his successor. Now, I

567
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: remember he got trounced by Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty.

568
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: I guess he was trans too, but he was trounced

569
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: and Carter after that loss, to his credit, he did

570
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: work around the clock in hopes of getting the fifty

571
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: two American hostages in Iran it released. Now, sure, I'm

572
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: sure one of the biggest reasons we wanted to do

573
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: that was so that he could still be president when

574
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: they were released, and that would make him look a

575
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: little bit better.

576
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure that was a big motivation. But that's fine.

577
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: But he wasn't deliberately working to make things worse for

578
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: President America and for President Reagan, and more importantly for America.

579
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what it looks like Biden is doing

580
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: right now at the urging of the corrupt regime news media.

581
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: So congratulations, Joe Biden, You're once again proving to be

582
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: even worse than Jimmy Carter.

583
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 2: What an achievement, all right?

584
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Tolci Gabbard is making the rounds on

585
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill in hopes of winning enough support for confirmation,

586
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: but will event.

587
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: In Syria help or hurt her chances?

588
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: And of course, we are tracking the latest on the

589
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: arrest of twenty six year old Luigi and Mangio n

590
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: Now he's the one who's wanted and now charged with

591
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: the shooting have United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and New York.

592
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at his possible motives. They seem pretty clear.

593
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: We'll look at that and we'll get down into it

594
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: in just a moment. Police and prosecutors, more importantly, believe

595
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: they have their man and the manhunt for the shooter

596
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: of that brazen murder of a health insurance company ceo

597
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: in New York last week. But what does the suspect's

598
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: background say about America's elite school. Yes, Subway hero Daniel

599
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: Penny fully acquitted, but the fight for him and the

600
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: safety of New York and all of our cities seems

601
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: to be far from over. We have the latest on

602
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: those latest threats. ASSAD has gone in Syria, but it's

603
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: not like the terrorists quote rebel forces are in charge

604
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: politically yet. Meanwhile, Israel has taken a giant eraser to

605
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: one of the largest military forces in.

606
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: The entire world. The US apparently is joining in a

607
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: little bit. But now what And while Asad is gone,

608
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: a woman often.

609
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: Connected to him, at least in the news media, is

610
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: trying to get in. What can Tulci Gabber do to

611
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: convince senators that she should get the nod for that

612
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence job? And can we make America

613
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: great again? If we still have woke generals? We'll explain

614
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: just how much rot is there at the top of

615
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: our armed forces.

616
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: I am Jake Novak.

617
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back to American Sunrise early edition. Well, he was

618
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: a bright young mind and the valedictorian of his elite

619
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: private school in Baltimore.

620
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: Then he was off to an Ivy League college.

621
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: But now he's the twenty six year old man accused

622
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: of plotting and carrying out the cold blooded murder of

623
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: a health insurance company CEO on the sidewalks of New York.

624
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: Joining me now to talk about this still unfolding story

625
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: is Jared Stepman. Jarrett is a Daily Signal columnist and

626
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: the author of the book The War on History.

627
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: Jarrett.

628
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: Obviously, these are only charges so far, but from what

629
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: police and prosecutors are telling us, including the discovery of

630
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: a manifesto, which, unlike some other shootings, they're reading and

631
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: telling us about, Right, Jarrett, But it sounds like all

632
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: the motives and all the plot are laid out there.

633
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: What is your big takeaway from what we know so

634
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: far about Luigi Mangioni and what this can tell us? Again,

635
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: as long as everything we're hearing from the police and

636
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: prosecutors is true.

637
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think this tells us and I actually think

638
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 6: that the bigger story is not just this one individual

639
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 6: who's decided to kill a healthcare executive. Is this sort

640
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 6: of respond from this response from the online left to

641
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 6: this incident, where there are many who are outright cheering,

642
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 6: I think for an individual to take marriage into his

643
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 6: own hands and conduct an assassination, it makes me very

644
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 6: much worried that we're heading into a period of increased

645
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 6: left wing violence attempts to assassinate figures, especially as the

646
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 6: left loses a lot of power in America, that this

647
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 6: becomes a tactic. I mean, we already saw this with

648
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 6: two assassination attempts on the now President elect Donald Trump.

649
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 6: Is this going to become a more common factor? Are

650
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 6: we going to see more individuals like this? College graduate.

651
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 6: This is not just a poor pressed man. This is

652
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 6: a person who actually is sort of from the elite,

653
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 6: simply taking marriage into his own hands and trying.

654
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 7: And actually killing somebody.

655
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 6: And I think that that something that's actually being celebrated

656
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 6: by many segments of the online left. You could even

657
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 6: say maybe the almost the mainstream left. Can I find

658
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 6: that the most disturbing aspect of this entire thing.

659
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, Jared, we're not courtroom strategists, not here on

660
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: this program, and we don't do that for a living,

661
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: but you hit something really important that if I were

662
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: one of the prosecutors in this case, if unless this

663
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: guy pleads out and there is no trial, but there

664
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: is a trial, well you know exactly what the defense

665
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: is going to try to do and to influence the jury,

666
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: They're going to try to say, hey, don't we all

667
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: hate these health insurance companies, don't they all deny us coverage?

668
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 1: And they're going to hope to try to get his

669
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: charges severely reduced, significantly reduced based on that sympathy factor.

670
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: But if I'm a prosecutor, I'm gonna pinpoint a couple

671
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: of things leading with, hey, you really care about people

672
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: who aren't getting coverage, or it's too expensive, or they've

673
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: been denied a surgery or something else like that. The

674
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: murder of a healthcare CEO will do absolutely nothing to

675
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: achieve that.

676
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, if you look.

677
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: At the defendant over there, Luigi Mangioni, this is someone

678
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: who has an engineering degree, who finished a BA and

679
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: a master's in engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in

680
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: four years, who has had a lot of AI training

681
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: and jobs. He could have created an app that increases

682
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: healthcare access. He could have done a bunch of things technologically,

683
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: you know telehealth for example. He could have done all

684
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: those things that actually reduce the costs and increase access,

685
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: and steady shot a guy on the streets of New York.

686
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: I think that needs to be the message, so that

687
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: we're not being toned deaf to the hatred and the

688
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: problems of the health insurance industry, which, by the way,

689
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: makes no business sense in my mind. All it is

690
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: is an intentional middleman. But that is going to be

691
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 1: you know, Jared, They're going to try to use that

692
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: to get this guy a very weak or sympathetic sentence.

693
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 6: Right. Oh, They're going to make him into a sympathetic character,

694
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 6: no question. I wouldn't even imagine that they won't have

695
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 6: big profiles of him and a lot of left wing publications.

696
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 6: I think that they're going to try to glorify this

697
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 6: man as a kind of you know, the kind of

698
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 6: jokerification of society, and I think that that's what's again,

699
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 6: it's so disturbing. I do think the idea that you're

700
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 6: going to change the healthcare industry by shooting a few

701
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 6: executives is frankly ridiculous. There used to be a time

702
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 6: where the left would say that, you know, they want

703
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 6: positive change to bring better healthcare to America through policy.

704
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 6: Now they just want to target people that they don't like.

705
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 6: I don't think that's going to work. I think that

706
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 6: there's going to be a huge response to this. I

707
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 6: think it does show that the direction that the left

708
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 6: is now taking, especially post twenty twenty four election, we're

709
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 6: a lot of especially if the online left, is going

710
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 6: to go after this.

711
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: Okay, Jerry, now that case is just starting, but we

712
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: did get I think a great result in New York

713
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 1: yesterday with the complete acquittal of Daniel Penny.

714
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: Of course, it's not over.

715
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: Many people are now calling for an investigation into the

716
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: Manhattan DA's office. I call for it too, and even

717
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: to the judge for letting this case go forward in

718
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: the first place. Now, what's your top priority? If it,

719
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: we're up to you to how to respond to this

720
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: case right now.

721
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, if I was the powers that be

722
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 6: in New York City clamping down on Frankly the urban chaos,

723
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 6: I mean the Jordan Neely's of the world, he wasn't

724
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 6: the only one. There are a lot of others in

725
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 6: New York City and a lot of other American cities.

726
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 6: I think that this case, I think that Democrats wanted

727
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 6: this to be a George Floyd two point zero. The

728
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 6: fact is is this case, I think actually highlighted for

729
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 6: many Americans that despite the fact that the Democrats are

730
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 6: the party of big government, they're not so interested in governing.

731
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 6: In fact, they're willing to let individuals like Neely be

732
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 6: out on the streets, a man who should have never

733
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 6: been there, a drug attic, a schizophrenic, a man who

734
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 6: destroyed himself in many ways, but was certainly a public danger,

735
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 6: and put Penny in a situation where he had to act.

736
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 6: And I think many Americans actually very much sympathized with that,

737
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 6: and I think that's why you saw a distinct political

738
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 6: shift of this last election. Clamping down on this urban

739
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 6: chaos I think needs to be a priority. It's something

740
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 6: that affects all Americans. It's not just a New York City.

741
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 6: It's in many cities across this country. And I think

742
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 6: that a lot of America, especially if you go into

743
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 6: a subway or you go into any of these public spaces, now,

744
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 6: you're more likely to be afraid. That has to stop.

745
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 6: I mean, that's what needs to be a priority. It's

746
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 6: very clear that Democrats and a lot of these prosecutors

747
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 6: who are on the left don't care to clamp down.

748
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 6: That they're willing to let us just go. I don't

749
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 6: think the American people are into that. I think that

750
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 6: needs to change very quickly, and you know, certainly to

751
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 6: get it in control in places like New York City,

752
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 6: which has become more dangerous in the last few years.

753
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: No question, Jared, Let's move overseas now. The Asad regime

754
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: has crumbled in Syria. Israel has destroyed just about all

755
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: of the Syrian defense infrastructure, and there's reports this morning

756
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: that US troops are joining in going into some buildings

757
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: where they think there may be chemical weapons of joining

758
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: with Israeli troops will have to get confirmation on that,

759
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: But that would be interesting, But so much could still

760
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: go wrong since the so called rebels are led by

761
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: notorious terrorists. So I'd like to say out of it

762
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: as much as possible as it unfolds. But do you

763
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: think there's a way the US can limit its involvement.

764
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 6: I think we can. I think that's an important take

765
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 6: on all this. Of course, these groups that they're taking

766
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 6: power in Syria, I think we shouldn't be having any

767
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 6: illusions that these are freedom fighters, these are nice people.

768
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 6: I mean, this is basically an offshoot of al Qaeda,

769
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 6: now one that's trying to message to the West that well,

770
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 6: they're moderate version of al Qaeda.

771
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 7: I don't think we should be deluded in thinking that

772
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 7: it is.

773
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 6: Unfortunately a situation of chaos and anarchy and a lot

774
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 6: of these vacuums as we see in the past. We

775
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 6: saw this with the Air of Spring, where a lot

776
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 6: of dictators that get toppled and deposed leads to actually

777
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 6: something that's quite a bit worse. And I think that

778
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 6: that's what a real fear at this moment, that that's

779
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 6: what's going to take place in Syria, and so I

780
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 6: do hope that the incoming administration now will have a

781
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 6: plan for what to do with this, and to especially

782
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 6: work with our partners like Israel in the Middle East

783
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 6: to ensure that radical Islamic groups like Al Kinda don't

784
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:54,959
Speaker 6: come to power.

785
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: Right now.

786
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: As saying on this topic generally, if you recall Tulsea

787
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: Gabbert when she was in Congress, she took a lot

788
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: of criticism for visiting Syria as a sas guest several

789
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: years ago. Of course, there's a lot of other members

790
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: of Congress who met with him, including Nancy Pelosi. But

791
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: how do you see events in Syria playing out? Because

792
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: Gabard has, at least in the context of Gabart's tough

793
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: confirmation fight, she's trying to become the director of National Intelligence,

794
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: and you can see some of the Democrats are being

795
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: snarky about that, about what's happened to bash our aside

796
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: as if it's a bad news for Tulsi, I'm not

797
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: so sure it's bad news, though, how do you take it?

798
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 6: No, And I think she does bring fresh thinking. She's

799
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 6: among that young cohort of those who fought in the

800
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 6: Global War on Terror, but the younger cohort, the people

801
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 6: were actually in many cases fighting in that war and

802
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 6: saw a lot of the mistakes of the previous generation.

803
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 6: I mean, after all, we had I think a lot

804
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 6: of foreign policy missteps where we actually went intentionally and

805
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 6: toppled regimes like in Libya that actually led to greater

806
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 6: regional chaos. And I think that Gabart brings a new

807
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 6: kind of thinking and to a certain extent, I think

808
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 6: that they will understand this moment that this not just

809
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 6: you know, the Air of Spring was not just bringing

810
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 6: freedom and liberty to people, That this is a fraud circumstance,

811
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 6: that sometimes we need to negotiate with people who aren't

812
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 6: so nice in the Middle East. That's just something that's

813
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 6: very common. I think that Gabbard understands this, and I

814
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 6: think Trump understands that he needs that kind of fresh

815
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 6: thinking is in his administration. I think that's very much

816
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 6: a good thing. So I think this is actually very

817
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 6: much an opportunity for Gabbert to have a lot of

818
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 6: influence in a changing time in the Middle East.

819
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I like your optimism.

820
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: I finally Jared, I want to ask you about your

821
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: recent column for The Daily Signal.

822
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: The headline rees, I love it.

823
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: Firing and competent and woke generals is necessary, not fascism. Well,

824
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: tell us how you really feel, Jared, But seriously, tell

825
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: us just how serious the woke virus is in our military,

826
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: not just in universities and in schools.

827
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 6: Well, you know, it's very much connected to our universities

828
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 6: and our schools in corporate America, and the military went

829
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 6: down this path just like all the other major institutions

830
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 6: in our society. I mean, you had the previous administration

831
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 6: that fully embrace us, and you have a lot of

832
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 6: people who made their way to the very very top

833
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 6: echelons of the military who brought this ethos into the

834
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 6: military that I think has always been noted for being

835
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 6: very traditional and conservative. I think that changed in recent years,

836
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 6: and I think that there needs to be a desperate reorganization,

837
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 6: especially as we are now very troubled times. I think

838
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 6: in part thanks to the previous administration, thanks to the

839
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 6: Biden administration. I mean, there's been reorganizations of the military

840
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 6: in the past.

841
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 7: George C. Marshall did so before World War Two.

842
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 6: I think thank goodness that he did so bringing you

843
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 6: thinking into the military. And you know, issues like the

844
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 6: DEI or the wokeness that I think very much has

845
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 6: been brought into the military. Hampers are war fighting in

846
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 6: the future. It makes the American military weaker and prioritizing

847
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 6: things like the greening of the military or DEI, these

848
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 6: are things that make our military less.

849
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 7: Effective in the long run. We have a historic recruiting.

850
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 6: Crisis, among other things, and there needs to be rethink

851
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 6: at the top. And so I think this reorganization of

852
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 6: generals that this commission that Trump has proposed is very

853
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 6: much a good thing. I think this idea that this

854
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 6: is just like, oh, this is some kind of red

855
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 6: purge is incorrect. This is about getting the military in

856
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 6: a better place for the potential conflicts we have in

857
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 6: the future. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

858
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, it's one of those things where

859
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: you knew you didn't have di I in the military

860
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: in the old days. So when you saw someone like

861
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: a Colon Powell reach the heights of the command structure

862
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: in the US Army, you knew that was because of

863
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: merit and not because of some kind of affirmative Action

864
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 1: Program or something like that, and we just can't say

865
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: that anymore. And that, to me is an affront to

866
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: all people white and black in this country and everyone

867
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: in between. Jared Steptman, thank you so much for joining us. Now,

868
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: just today, it's time to pay a visit to the man,

869
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: the legend, the DC spark Plug, David Brody, as we

870
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: talk about a political move that might be able to

871
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: seal the new unity in the Republican Party. And it's

872
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: all about this woman you see right here, larat Trump.

873
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. American Sunrise Early Edition has its final vow

874
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: in just a few moments.

875
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 2: Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition.

876
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Novak, you looking at the.

877
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: Cavernous streets of New York City.

878
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: Let's also welcome American Sunrise from the Big Show co

879
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: anchor David Brodie. Right now, Hey, David, we're all happy

880
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is leaving the White House. I think even

881
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: the Democrats are, But for all intents and purposes, he

882
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: already left. And you know, there's forty one days to

883
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: go before Donald Trump gets back into the job for real.

884
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: And this seems to me like a national security threat.

885
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 2: How about you, oh, there's no doubt about that.

886
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 12: But then again, Jake, this has been a national security

887
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 12: threat situation for what going on four years now. I mean,

888
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 12: let's be honest, we saw what was going on in

889
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 12: twenty twenty at those COVID drive in thirty people theater

890
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 12: type events, and he was nowhere to be found talking

891
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 12: about I don't know, stuff running up his leg and

892
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 12: all the swimming pool stuff. It was just the whole

893
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 12: thing was just bizarre right from the beginning. So this

894
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 12: guy's been a national security threat ever since the beginning.

895
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 12: Just let's go back to August of twenty twenty one

896
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 12: in Afghanistan.

897
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 2: But you know, Jake, he has.

898
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 12: Said seven words, seven words to the media since the election,

899
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 12: literally when asked questions by the media at X, Y,

900
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 12: and Z stops along the way, seven words.

901
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: This guy.

902
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 12: I mean, I don't know where he is. Maybe he

903
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 12: needs to be in the witness protection program or somewhere

904
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 12: along those lines, because this guy has been out to lunch.

905
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 12: But then again, we know, Jake, he's been out to

906
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 12: lunch for a very long time.

907
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know something I said just a few

908
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: moments ago, you know, as bad as Jimmy Carter was

909
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: one thing you got to give him credit for. He

910
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: worked very hard during the transition period after he got

911
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: whit by Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty to try to

912
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: get the hostages out and sure with some self you know,

913
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: he was trying to do that for he has some

914
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,959
Speaker 1: self interest there, but he was working hard.

915
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 2: Hey, David, a few months ago you interviewed.

916
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: Lara Trump, and now there are reports Wall Street Journal

917
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: has it, a few other publications have it. There are

918
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: reports that she indeed would like to replace Marco Rubio,

919
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: a President Trump Secretary of State nominee, as that US

920
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: senator from Florida that open slot that would be opened

921
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: by that Now the reports also say that President Trump

922
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: has spoken to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, because remember it's

923
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: up to DeSantis to appoint the person who gets that position,

924
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: and he's lobbied him to appoint Lara Trump.

925
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 2: Now, to me, this seems pretty smart.

926
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: If DeSantis does this, I would think that that would

927
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 1: end any more discussion about any kind of real separation

928
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: between the Trump and Desanta's teams. I mean, that would

929
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: be the ultimate barrier of the hatchet moment, right.

930
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 12: Agreed, And I think even more to the point, why

931
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 12: don't we just go ahead and put it as a

932
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 12: deposit in the twenty twenty eight Iron DeSantis running for

933
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 12: president bank as well. So I don't think there's any

934
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 12: question about that.

935
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 5: That's just a.

936
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 12: Smart political play. But let's also remember Jake here that

937
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 12: Laura Trump was thinking about a run for Senate in

938
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 12: North Carolina. That's her home state, originally her home state.

939
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 12: And she's got a couple of two key factors here

940
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 12: that work in her favor.

941
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: She's a great orator. She really is a great.

942
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 12: Communicator in all of how she presents the issues and

943
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 12: what's at stake, and that should not be taken for granted.

944
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 12: And the second thing is she's.

945
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 5: Really good on policy.

946
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 12: I mean, she actually has some real deep knowledge on

947
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 12: policy as well. And so when you put all those

948
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 12: two together, it seems a bit like a slam dunk pick.

949
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 12: And look, maybe it's not the Santus kissing the ring necessarily,

950
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 12: of course that's not how the Santus will frame it,

951
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 12: but it definitely makes sense for this play for sure.

952
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it seems like it's really it's not

953
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: any real skin off his back. It would be highly

954
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: awkward if he appointed himself or his wife to the position.

955
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: To some people were speculating that would be incredibly awkward.

956
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't. I don't really know if he has a lot.

957
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: Of options for himself in this, and so I think

958
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: it's actually quite easy. Hey David, what do you have

959
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: coming up in the next two hours of American Sunrise?

960
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 12: Well, Marjorie Taylor Green will be along with us to

961
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 12: discuss quite a few issues, including what's going on in Sirius.

962
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 12: So we'll have that, and.

963
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 2: There's just so much more we've got.

964
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 12: Steve Gruber will be along and you know, just the

965
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 12: whole cast of characters.

966
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 5: That's what we are.

967
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 12: We're just a bunch of characters here on the big show,

968
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 12: as you'd like to say, Jake. And you know you

969
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 12: call me the man, the myth, the legend. I try

970
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 12: to use that line on my wife the other day.

971
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 12: She said, yeah, great, okay, hey man, myth legend, go

972
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 12: take out the garbage. It does not work here from

973
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 12: a personal perspective. So I just want to be clear

974
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 12: of that. Maybe professionally that sounds great, not working in

975
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 12: my personal life. I'm still working on it.

976
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: Jake, all right, I'll just call you a good old

977
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: David Brody, how about that.

978
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: Okay, David, that's a great show.

979
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: That's all the time we have here on America's American

980
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: Sunrise Early Edition.

981
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for the big show.
