1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise early edition.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Now it's really a done deal, or at least both

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas have signed a ceasefire agreement, but a

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: change in the ratification process means the hostages won't be

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: starting to coming home until Monday. And you know what

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: else is happening that day, don't you. It was another

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: day of good progress for firefighters in Los Angeles.

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: The worst of the wind is.

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: Now passed, making the new challenge the extreme dryness covering

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: the entire region is dealing with La needs rain. It

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: was also a day of progress for a number of

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: Trump cabinet appointees at their Senate confirmation hearings. Suddenly the

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: traction seems to be slipping for the so called resistance

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: two point zero. Well, the Trump team truly clean house

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: starting next week. A new report says the foundation is

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: being laid already to do that, starting with the State Department.

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: Here come the pink slips, guys, And so far we're

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: simply not seeing any last minute reprieves for TikTok. It's

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: two days in counting before a fifty billion dollar business

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: gets banned in the US. Unless we see a miracle.

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: American Sunrise Early Edition begins now.

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom,

23
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: and the values that built this nation takes centers.

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: Your good, thieves and bad deaths. That's how we're gonna

25
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: judge you.

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the stories

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: that matter.

28
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: We will be letting the public know regularly what we

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: have found.

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak starts now.

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: Welcome everyone, Welcome to No Tai Friday. I'm Jake Novak.

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: This is American Sunrise Early Edition. Very grateful you are

33
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: ending your week with us. We had a lot of

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: back and forth yesterday, but now the deal to end

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: the Hamas war on Israel has been signed by both sides,

36
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: but the delays we saw yesterday mean that the hostages

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: won't start being returned until Monday.

38
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: That would be Trump inauguration Monday.

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: Joining me to talk about that and more is doctor

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: James and Azzo, founding partner at the Colchester Group and

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: a former White House staff for Jim. I still feel

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: like there's another shoe to drop here, maybe one or

43
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: two shoes, maybe five shoes. But you know, in a

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: few days, maybe things will look a little bit different.

45
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: I think you agree that we're not fully aware of

46
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: how all this is going to shake out yet.

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: Well true, though, when I heard that it was going

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: to be Monday and that the hostages were going to

49
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: be returned, I guess I'm old enough to remember the

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: moment when Ronald Reagan announced in the luncheon after he

51
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: had just sworn on the Bible that they the hostages

52
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: from Iran have passed out of Iranian airspace. It has

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: that same sort of theatrical feeling here. It is he's

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: able to win on the day of his inauguration.

55
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I hope that that will be something

56
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: that is at least symbolic. I mean, it's a symbolic thing,

57
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: but it's important, and it's also important for a president

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: to be able to come into office without as many

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: of the problems that the previous president created encumbering him.

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: So let's talk about that for a second, Jim. So

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: much of this war, this Kamas war on Israel and

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: October seventh, was the result of bad US foreign policy,

63
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: namely the coddling of Iran and the funding of Iran

64
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: by the Biden administration and the Obama team.

65
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Before that.

66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, this report that the Trump

67
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: administration is already telling three key State Department officials to

68
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: pack their bags feels like a good thing.

69
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: Is there more to come, Jim, I.

70
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: Think you're going to see that the Trump officials have

71
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: learned from the first time they came in. If you

72
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: remember the first administration, over two years after the inauguration

73
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: of President Trump, the first time, many of the deputy

74
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: assistant to the presidents now our deputy sistant to the

75
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: secretaries in all of these agencies. You've never heard of them.

76
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 4: They aren't confirmed by the Senate. But there where the

77
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 4: rubber meets the road, that's where the policy sort of

78
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: deals with the bureaucracy. And in the first administration, the

79
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: vast majority of them were still holdover from the Obama administration.

80
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: One of the points of the Heritage report that Donald

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: Trump said that he had denied ever reading or cared about,

82
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: was on day one, you've got a clean house. And

83
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: I think that you're going to see not just in

84
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: the State Department, but I think you're going to in

85
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: Justice and in a number in a number of the

86
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: other agencies such as the FBI, the CIA, and elsewhere.

87
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: A lot of heads are going to roll. You might

88
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: have noticed that John Radcliffe made it abundantly clear that

89
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: there are going to be consequences of THEI A. CIA.

90
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 4: If you happen to have signed the Hunter Biden memo

91
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: that went to the news media just prior to the

92
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: first election, Yeah.

93
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: I mean, the intelligence community is something that a lot

94
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: of Trump supporters have been focusing on, understandably so, for

95
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: a long time. But everyone needs to remember that it's

96
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: a state department that has probably the most ingrained culture

97
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: in Washington, that works independently of whoever the president may

98
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: be at any given time. This isn't just an Obama

99
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: and Biden team issue, although they did replace a lot

100
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: of people in the State Department with more radical folks

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: and more pro Iranian folks. But this is a state

102
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: of department that for decades and decades and decades has

103
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: pretty much been acting independently. Donald Trump can't stop with

104
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: those three people. In fact, part of that report, and

105
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: by the way, this was an exclusive report by Reuters,

106
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: want to give them credit for it. Part of that

107
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: report explained that the three people, and you don't have

108
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: to know their names, are not really that famous, but

109
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: Reuter's explains, and I did some double checking on it,

110
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: that the three people who are getting pink slips are

111
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: the kinds of people who would keep and block some

112
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: of these people from being fired, that would keep them there.

113
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: That basically they are kind of like the dam that

114
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 2: you're breaking to get rid of some other folks.

115
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: All right, Jim.

116
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: Hypocrisy is a key ingredient in politics, but it rarely

117
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: gets called out in real time and as satisfyingly as

118
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: it did yesterday during this exchange between Treasury Secretary Designate

119
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: Scott Besson and Senator Bernie Sanders.

120
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: Check this out.

121
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 5: These people have enormous influence over the media when they

122
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 5: spend huge amounts of money and be in both political

123
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 5: bodies to elect candidates. Iden said last night, is we're

124
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 5: moving toward an oligarchy. I'm asking you that question. Do

125
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: you think forget how they made their money. Do you

126
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 5: think that when so few people have so much wealth

127
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 5: and so much economic and political power, that is an

128
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 5: oligochic form of society?

129
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 6: Well, I wouldn't note that the President Biden gave the

130
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 6: Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think

131
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 6: would qualify for his oligarchs.

132
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: So this is not a condemination of any one individual.

133
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 5: I'm just asking you when so few people have so

134
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: much wealth and power.

135
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: But do you.

136
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 5: Think that that is an oligarchic form of society, Senator?

137
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 6: I think it depends on the ability to move up

138
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 6: and down the end.

139
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: No, that's not really dance.

140
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 5: I mean, even if you had that mobility, no matter

141
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 5: who those individuals might be.

142
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: President Biden just called out these oligarchs, and then Besson

143
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: immediately shows that he he just gave the Medal of

144
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: Freedom out of going out of his way to bow

145
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: down to people like George Sores and stuff like that. Jim,

146
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: can you help our audience understand the fact that the

147
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: populist people's faction of America right, love him or hate him,

148
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: is now much more represented by the Trump Republican Party

149
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: than any other party before.

150
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Trump Republican Party is the old working class

151
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: Democratic party of the nineteenth fifties in the nineteen forties.

152
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: Writ large, this is the largest percentage of non white,

153
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: non male votes that have the Republican Party has seen

154
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: in over sixty years. This is a profoundly different party.

155
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 4: This is not the party of en nineteen one hundred

156
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: not the Party of two thousand. It is not the

157
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: party of twenty twenty two, twenty twenty at all. What

158
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 4: we're seeing now is a brand new party, a party

159
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: that is made up of working people. That's the reason

160
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: why the Nippon Steel decision was made. It was made

161
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: to help working people.

162
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think there was an attempt to

163
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: go in this direction with Ronald Reagan in nineteen eighty.

164
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: You know, anytime you win as big a landslide as

165
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: he did in nineteen eighty, and granted he won a

166
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: bigger one in nineteen eighty four, but that was on

167
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: the shoulders of the nineteen eighty landslide, the nineteen eighty landslide,

168
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 2: and there was so much talk about how the manufacturing

169
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: base in America was weakening at the time, and so

170
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: many of those voters voted for Ronald Reagan. But as

171
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: good a president as Ronald Reagan was overall, I don't

172
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: know if he had the team assembled in nineteen eighty

173
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: one all the way through his leaving office in eighty

174
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: nine that really knew how to deal with that. In

175
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: other words, it wasn't a team that could take a

176
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: look at what they could do to keep factories open

177
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: without becoming a socialist country. What they could do to

178
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: help the blue collar workers in this country get a

179
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: tax break without giving one only to the very very rich.

180
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: You know this, This is a little bit of a

181
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: different team.

182
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: And I think maybe it comes to the fact that, granted,

183
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: Donald Trump didn't grow up poor and Ronald Reagan did.

184
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: But Donald Trump grew up, I think in a little

185
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: bit more aware of financial realities, and so he picked

186
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: the right team. I wonder if you think this any

187
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: what would you say is a big difference from twenty

188
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: sixteen in the team.

189
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: That he's assembled. I mean, I have some thoughts about that.

190
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: But what in the team he assembled in twenty sixteen

191
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: versus this team now in twenty twenty four that stands

192
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: out the most to you. And it could be an

193
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: overall impression as opposed to just one name.

194
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: But go ahead and do either, all.

195
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 4: Right, You want one word competence. These are people who

196
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 4: are competent. In twenty sixteen, when they came in, these

197
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 4: were folks who had never been in the White House,

198
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 4: even as to plead their own cause. For many of

199
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 4: these people, they had no idea what they were doing.

200
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 4: They walked in on day one and said, okay, so

201
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: what do I do now? And what do you do

202
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 4: when that sort of thing happens. You retain the people

203
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 4: underneath you who can say this, this is how you operate.

204
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: It is not unlike the British sitcom, which was Margaret

205
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: Thatcher's favorite sitcom, called Yes Minister, in which the minister

206
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: comes on top, but all of his underlings are people

207
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: who are going to undermind him. And we saw that

208
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen. In twenty twenty two, they have had

209
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: four years of the wilderness to make exactly certain what

210
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: they knew they were going to do hitting on day one.

211
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 4: That wasn't the case of sixteen.

212
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, listen, there's nothing like experience, all right, Jim, First,

213
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 2: I want to take a moment to be thankful for

214
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: the progress firefighters have been making the last two days

215
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles fighting those wildfires. It's been a couple

216
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: of days of good news, frankly, or at least relatively

217
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: good news. But my take is that no one in

218
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: America is keen to give Gavin Newsom or Karen Bass

219
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: a pass even as the fires get more under control.

220
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: If you had to guess who will crash down harder,

221
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Bass or Newsom or someone else.

222
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 4: Well, before we go and talk about the politics, I

223
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: want to give my condolences to Hunter Biden because a

224
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 4: report this morning was that millions of Hunter Biden's unsold

225
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: paintings have been burned up. Now the Getty was not burned,

226
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 4: it's surprising that Getty did not buy a Hunter Biden.

227
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: So for history, Hunter Biden's work of arts will be

228
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: consigned to the fires. And that's too bad. The second question,

229
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 4: obviously Bass, I mean Newsom has the entire state, that

230
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 4: not just Los Angeles, and Bass who was profoundly incompetent.

231
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: Incompetent enough that during the during the inauguration ceremony and

232
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 4: the party afterwards, she was specifically told by the State Department, folks,

233
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 4: there's a fire happening in York, in your city, and

234
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: she still didn't leave the party until it became very

235
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: clear to her staffers it will be horrible if you're

236
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: in ghana as Los Angeles ferns. It was like Nero

237
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 4: playing the fiddle.

238
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean she's and and you're right, you know

239
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: it's because I know there's a recall effort. She wasn't

240
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: really that popular before. You're probably right, But I also

241
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: think that Gavin Newsom's political future is I don't think

242
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: he's going to learn another.

243
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom was running on the idea that he made

244
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 4: California work. Well that's not true anymore. He cannot say

245
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: made California work.

246
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, doctor James Unders, thanks for joining us,

247
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: and thanks for playing ball on No Tie Friday.

248
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right.

249
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: Carrying up, Jake Tapper and his payals at CNN are

250
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 2: having a terrible, no good, very bad week.

251
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: I'll explain, and I.

252
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: May refer to another great children's book title or two

253
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: in the process.

254
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 4: That's a good book that let.

255
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: And do you know what this is?

256
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: This is one of the nicest and inspiring things I've

257
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: seen in a long time. Get your guesses in because

258
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: I'll tell you all about it when American Sunrise Early

259
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: Edition comes right back.

260
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: That's a live.

261
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: Shot of Fort Lauderdale and folks in the control room.

262
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: I think the Chamber of Converts of Fort Lauderdale may

263
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: assassinate us for showing.

264
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: This live shot.

265
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: It's nice, but it's a little gray. I don't see

266
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: any actual sun in this picture.

267
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: So they may kill us. So don't do this again.

268
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. It's good shot.

269
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome back, Welcome back to American Sunrise early edition.

270
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm Jake Novak.

271
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: Would it surprise you if one of the nastiest critics

272
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: of President Trump, America and Israel turned out to be

273
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: a low life in his personal life?

274
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 7: No?

275
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean neither. Jack Nosovac isn't surprised either, and

276
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: check it out.

277
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 8: Twisted as it is, ironic and a narrative that might

278
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 8: read like a dark comedy if it weren't so tragic.

279
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 8: Darren Bell, a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for none other

280
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 8: than The Washington Post, has been arrested for possessing and

281
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 8: distributing child pornography, including content generated by AI.

282
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: He has to heard that, right, AI.

283
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 8: Child porn possibly made by himself. Let's take a moment

284
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 8: to appreciate the sheear insanity here. Here's a man celebrated

285
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 8: by a media outlet that has often positioned itself as

286
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 8: the moral high ground in American journalism, preaching about ethics, integrity,

287
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 8: the dangers of the right wing supposed obsession.

288
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: With child pornography and pedophilia.

289
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 8: It is the same Washington Post that has in numerous

290
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 8: articles and editorials criticized conservative figures for their focus our

291
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 8: focus on child protection laws, often framing it as an

292
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 8: overreach or paranoia. But now one of their own, a

293
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 8: star in their editorial cartooning Firmament, has been caught with

294
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 8: his hands in the proverbial cookie jar, or should I say,

295
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 8: caught with over one hundred sick videos of child sexual

296
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 8: abuse material. The irony is palpable. The Washington Post, which

297
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 8: has been quick to label any conservative push for stringent

298
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 8: child protection laws as an exaggeration or a political witch hunt,

299
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 8: now is to deal with one of its own embroiled in.

300
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: This very issue.

301
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 8: And this isn't just about one person's criminal actions, by

302
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 8: the way, this guy want a Pulitzer prize. It's about

303
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 8: the platform on which has stood, the platform that sanctimoniously

304
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 8: pointed figures at others, now having to grapple with its

305
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 8: own skeletons. And this guy chief SJW social justice warrior,

306
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 8: critical race theory, all the rest of it as anti

307
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 8: maga as they come. And let's talk about the tech

308
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 8: issue here too, AI generated child pornography. This brings a

309
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 8: whole level of depravity into the conversation. We're talking about

310
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 8: technology that we were told was going to advance humanity,

311
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 8: and it's being used for one of the lowest forms

312
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 8: of exploitation. You have to remember that any tool can

313
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 8: be twisted into a weapon of moral decay. It also

314
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 8: shines light on the broader conversation about media integrity and accountability.

315
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 8: When a media organization has built its reputation on upholding

316
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 8: certain moral standards and one of its most prominent figures

317
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 8: is caught in such an act, it's not just a

318
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 8: personal failing, it's an institutional one. What about the wedding processes,

319
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 8: the culture within the Washington Post, the hypocrisy of their

320
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 8: public stances versus the private realities, and beyond that, beyond

321
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 8: the hypocrisy, there is a dark, sobering truth here. This

322
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 8: isn't about political points or scoring. It's about the protection

323
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 8: of children, the most vulnerable members in our society. Well, well,

324
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 8: I suppose if you can't trust the Washington Post, who

325
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 8: can you trust?

326
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: And you can catch You can catch human events daily

327
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: with Jacko Stobac every Monday through Friday at two pm

328
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: Eastern Time here on Real America's Voice.

329
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been.

330
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: Following this case, but the defamation lawsuit against CNN and

331
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 2: Jake Tapper Show is really really not going well for

332
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 2: the news channel. They reached a new low point this

333
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: week when the judge in the case told CNN's lawyer

334
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: that he no longer believed he had any credibility.

335
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: Oops now. The case was brought by a Navy veteran.

336
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: After CNN's Jake Tapper Show said that that Navy veteran

337
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: was price gouging and doing worse things to Afghan citizens

338
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: using his services to escape the country and Taliban rule.

339
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: They said they wanted to nail this guy. Other low

340
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: points in this case included Jake Tapper claiming he doesn't

341
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: pay attention to ratings, and some of his producers also

342
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: got caught showing no remorse for the harmful things they put.

343
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: On the air about the plaintiff.

344
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 2: Prediction, CNN will not only lose this case, but they

345
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 2: will be much reduced from what it is now by

346
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: the time we get around two things going around and

347
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 2: not maybe about six months to a year. It may

348
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: only be online only or something like that. Once Warner

349
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: Brothers sells it off. Boy is Warner Brothers trying to

350
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: sell CNN off. I don't know if it has any takers.

351
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: All right, now for some nice eye candy, and I

352
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 2: really mean that. No, I'm not gonna show you the

353
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: Swedish bikini team. This is a family show. But do

354
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: you recognize the man in this picture?

355
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: You should.

356
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: It's none other than subway hero Daniel Penny. Someone took

357
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: the shot of him riding the subway in New York

358
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: either yesterday or earlier this week. Remember this is after

359
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: he helped protect dozens of people from a durrained subway

360
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 2: rider in twenty twenty three. He was finally acquitted in

361
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: that horrific manslaughter case launched against him by Manhattan da

362
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg last year. Instead of staying away from the

363
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: city in the subways, which he has every right to do,

364
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: Daniel Petty is asserting his freedom, and good for him.

365
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: We can't keep surrendering. Daniel Penny back on the subway.

366
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: That's a good sign, all right? Coming up, pop quiz.

367
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: This is a pop quiz. What is the minimum wage

368
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: in your state and nationwide? You might think you know

369
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: the answer, but you don't, and don't bother googling it. Either,

370
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: because I will explain. And now it's time to give

371
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: out the award for the worst car of the last year.

372
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: By the way, that's an award show. I'd like to

373
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 2: watch worst car show. Good news. I'm going to give

374
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: out that award when this American Sunrise Early edition comes

375
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: right back. Okay, now, I think the New York City

376
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: Chamber of Congress would like that shot.

377
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: It's a great day in New York again.

378
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 2: We see a little bit of like orange reflecting on

379
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: the skyline.

380
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: They're not bad in New York City. It's gonna be cold.

381
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: It's gonna be cold all weekend.

382
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: And that playoff game in Kansas City is gonna be rough.

383
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 2: We don't play NFL playoffs in New York City.

384
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: We played them in Buffalo.

385
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: The enough news, All right, Let's take a look at

386
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: where the markets will begin today. Markets were down yesterday,

387
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 2: but they look like they're gonna rise higher today. Crude

388
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: oil creeping back, not bad, It's been a good week

389
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: for the market's mostly up.

390
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: All right.

391
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: There are a few things that are more misleading in

392
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: America than the term minimum wage, but that doesn't stop

393
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: people like Senator Bernie Sanders from pretending he knows what

394
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: he's talking about when he utters it or gets into

395
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 2: a back and forth about it with a Trump Cabinet nominee.

396
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

397
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 9: Right now, in America, we have over twenty two million

398
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 9: workers who are making less than fifteen dollars an hour,

399
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 9: and nearly forty million people.

400
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 5: In our country earning less than seventeen dollars an hour. Shamefully,

401
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 5: the federal minimum wage, despite the efforts of myself and

402
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 5: other people here, have not been raised since two thousand

403
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 5: and nine and remains an unbelievable seven dollars and twenty

404
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 5: five cents an hour. Will you work with those of

405
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 5: us who want to raise the federal minimum wage to

406
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 5: a living wage to take millions of Americans out of poverty.

407
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 6: Senator, I believe that the minimum wage is more of

408
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 6: a state wide and regional issue.

409
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 5: So you don't think we should change the federal minimum

410
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: wage of seven dollars and twenty five cents an hour.

411
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 6: No, sir, okay, misvestent?

412
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: All right, well, here's what I would have said to

413
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders. Here's the thing, folks, and this is time

414
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: for the answer to my pop quiz. I asked you,

415
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: what is the minimum wage. Here's a hint. The minimum

416
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: wage never changes. Did you get it yet, here's the answer.

417
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: The minimum wage is zero. It has always been zero.

418
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: It will always be zero because no one has to

419
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: hire anybody. They can always just close up shop or

420
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: outsource the job. Ask all the delivery people who were

421
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: laid off in California when that state updates pretend minimum

422
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: wage for fast food workers last year. It's always zero.

423
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: The only way to effectively raise wages, that's a tough one.

424
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: The only way to effectively raise wages for workers is

425
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: to do this.

426
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: Allow more businesses.

427
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: To emerge, compete with each other, and then they will

428
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: be enforced by the laws of economics to pay employees more.

429
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: Class dismissed again. The minimum wage is zero. It can

430
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: never be raised, it can never be lowered, always zero.

431
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: All right.

432
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: Target has some mixed news for America. It says it

433
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: looks like it's Christmas season sales are going to be

434
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: stronger than just about anyone expected.

435
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: That's good news.

436
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: We'll get the final stats on that in about three weeks.

437
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: But the retail chain also says that its profits will

438
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: not be so strong.

439
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: So you know what that means.

440
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: Inflation operating costs for companies like Target are slamming them,

441
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: just like they're slamming you and me. If Target is

442
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: taking in more sales and it's making less profit, it

443
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 2: means that it's dealing with inflation. Now, if this continues,

444
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: you can expect to see job cuts and maybe even

445
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: some store closures at Target and some of its competitors,

446
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: but maybe not Walmart, because, in case you haven't noticed,

447
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: Walmart's doing a lot better than Target. These days, people

448
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: are downgrading a little bit from Target to Walmart.

449
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: No offense to Walmart.

450
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: Walmart's kind of getting a little bit more upscale, I'd noticed,

451
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: but still people think Target is a little bit more upscale.

452
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that'll change, all right Bitcoin.

453
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: Speaking of upgrades, Bitcoin is back over the one hundred

454
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: thousand dollars mark. Last time I checked us a moment

455
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: ago was at one hundred and two thousand dollars. Now,

456
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: I want everyone to understand that this is likely the

457
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: result of what I think I call straggler investors.

458
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: Now.

459
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: When Donald Trump won the election back in November, bitcoin

460
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: started that big surge again because people know that the

461
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 2: Trump administration will impose fewer regulations on bitcoin. So why

462
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: did it take some of these people until yesterday to

463
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: start surging again, back over one hundred thousand, Because there's

464
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: always some late comers to the party, and that's when

465
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: you need to be a little bit worried. If you're

466
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: one of the smarter investors who put money in bitcoin

467
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 2: or any stock, when everyone else starts to join the party,

468
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: you might want to take some profits. I'm not saying

469
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: that bitcoin's going to crash. I'm not saying that this

470
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: surge today won't continue for another few days. Very very

471
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 2: likely that it will. But you just need to be

472
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: a little bit more aware if you're a big coin

473
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: of vest that everyone's joining the party right now, and

474
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: sometimes that can be a warning sign, a chance for

475
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: you to take your profits now.

476
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: You can always buy it back again later. All right.

477
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: Do you think it's hard being a truth teller in politics,

478
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: Try being a true teller on Wall Street. Guy named

479
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: Nate Anderson, who started the short selling firm Hindenburg Research,

480
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: is closing up the fun Why Because being the guy

481
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 2: who discovers bs on Wall Street and calls out over

482
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: priced stocks is a thankless job. It's like a death

483
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 2: threat level thankless job. Now, of course, first of all,

484
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: let's give credit where credit is due. Hindenburg Research. Is

485
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 2: that not the best name ever for a fund that

486
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 2: looks for stocks that are about to crash.

487
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: Let's give Nate that shot in the arm.

488
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: But the corollary to this is something else that's a

489
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: little bit more disturbing. You can go around on Wall

490
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: Street for years and pump stocks that are worthless, talk

491
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: about how great they are, talk about how great the

492
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: company is, and you'll be fine. Hardly anyone will attack you,

493
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 2: and if they do, it'll be someone does it very

494
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: quietly in the shadows somewhere. But if you go around

495
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: and warm people about a real company that's having real problems,

496
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: that is really overpriced, they'll come for you.

497
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: They'll come for your head.

498
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: You can make a lot of money doing that, but

499
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: you're probably better off doing it quietly. I give Nate

500
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 2: Anderson a lot of credit for starting Hindenburg Research. He

501
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: was dead on correct about a number of companies. But

502
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: you can see by the way he's a young guy.

503
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: He's not some old guy calling it quits because he

504
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: wants to go back and play with his grandchildren. It's

505
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: because he gets attacked every single day. And believe me,

506
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: you get death threats. All right, Now it's time for

507
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: the award for the absolute worst new vehicle of twenty

508
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: twenty four. Are you excited? Can you guess which it is?

509
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: Are you worried that it's your card.

510
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: Or your car?

511
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: Or let's have the envelope please, And the winner is

512
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: the Fisker Ocean SUV. Yes, Consumer Reports and other vehicle

513
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 2: reviewers are almost unanimous and choosing the Ocean as the

514
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 2: worst of the worst. Here are some of the notes.

515
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: Quote feels unfinished end quote. Quote needs a lot.

516
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: Of more R and D. Too many creaks for a

517
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: new car.

518
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: The body lean is concerning, and the ride is far

519
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: too loose on bumpy roads. One reviewer even said he

520
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 2: was quote offended by driving it. A better luck next time.

521
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: Fisker.

522
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: By the way, Fisker makes a really good push mower

523
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: that I use if you're an environmental nut job greenie

524
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: like some people I know.

525
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: I bought it for the exercise. They make good lawnmowers.

526
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 10: Cars.

527
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: I'm not sure so sure, but Fisker, I want you

528
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: to take heart. I grew up for a lot of

529
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: the years of my childhood in the backseat of my

530
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: parents nineteen seventy six Malibu Classic, and there is no

531
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: way that Fisker is as bad as that car, So

532
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: it's got to be better than that, all right. There's

533
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: a new documentary out about doctor Anthony Fauci called Thank You,

534
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 2: Doctor Fauci, but it's not complimentary.

535
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: Despite the title. The director of that film explains what

536
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: he was going for here check it.

537
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 7: Out, completely and totally a farce that this man represents

538
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 7: even the left. He has been an institution player for

539
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 7: fifty years, one used by highly powerful people to carry

540
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 7: out an agenda that ingratiates. Again, very bad act, and

541
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 7: so he responded. I think he's a relatively narcissistic, if

542
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 7: not highly narcissistic individual, megal maniacal, and you know, he responded.

543
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 7: But at the same time, I think that given his

544
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 7: security clearance and given the access he has to information

545
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 7: and his ability to probably check me out, chances are

546
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 7: he knew that I was already investigating him, and we

547
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 7: had We had an exchange with each other over email,

548
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 7: and I'm not surprised that he declined an interview because

549
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 7: the facts that I amasked and the questions that I

550
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 7: have for him, there is no good answer for and

551
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 7: unlike Congress, I'm not going to grandstand with him. I'm

552
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 7: actually going to focus on the things that were downright

553
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 7: criminal that he did.

554
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: And you can watch Thank You, Doctor Fauci, that documentary

555
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: on video on demand. A lot of places been including

556
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: Getter where you can watch this show as well. All right,

557
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: coming up, the deal is signed, but all the delays

558
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 2: in the Famas Israel deal to end kamas is war

559
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: on Israel means that the hostages won't be coming home

560
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: until Monday.

561
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: And you know what else is happening that day, right,

562
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: don't you?

563
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: And when that Trump inauguration does happen, what are stubborn

564
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: Trump haters like Congressman Jamie Raskin going to do when

565
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: faced with the choice of maintaining that hate or doing

566
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: what's right for America. We'll ask one of Raskin's key

567
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: challenges from his own state of Maryland. When American Sunrise

568
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: early edition comes right back. It's Friday, January seventeenth. Here

569
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: are some of the top stories this morning. Now it's

570
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: really a done deal, or at least both Israel and

571
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: Hamas have signed a ceasefire agreement, but a change in

572
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: the ratification process means the hostages won't start to be

573
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: returned until Monday. And you know what else is happening

574
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: that day. A number of Trump Cabinet appointees shredded the

575
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: opposite position at their Senate confirmation hearings this week.

576
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: Suddenly the traction seems to be.

577
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: Slipping for the so called resistance two point zero. It

578
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: was another good day of progress for firefighters in the

579
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: LA wildfire situation. The worst of the winds now passed,

580
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: making the new challenge the extreme dryness covering the entire region.

581
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: That is the real challenge. La needs rain or something

582
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: like it.

583
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: And a lot of the biggest Trump haters in Congress

584
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: are not attending Monday's inauguration. Now that's no biggie, But

585
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: how will they act when it's time to work together

586
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 2: to help America. American Sunrise Early Edition continues. Now, welcome

587
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak, so

588
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: gratefully you're here today for no time Friday. You gotta

589
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: celebrate Friday somehow. Now, listen, we had a lot of

590
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 2: back and forth yesterday, but now that deal to end

591
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: Hamasa's war on Is has been signed by both sides.

592
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: The delays though that we saw yesterday means this the

593
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: hostages won't start being returned until Monday. That would be

594
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: trump inauguration Monday. Joining me to talk about that and

595
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: more is Cheryl Riley. She's a PR superstar and former

596
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: Republican congressional candidate from Maryland, where she ran against Jamie Raskin.

597
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: By the way, we'll talk more about that in a second.

598
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: Cheryl, you know, just generally, are you happy about this

599
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: deal or are you maybe waiting for President Trump to

600
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: take office and maybe reassess this entire equation, because I'm

601
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: sort of doing a little bit of both.

602
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 11: Good morning, I'm with you, I'm doing a little bit

603
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 11: of both. Thank god a deal was made. I firmly

604
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 11: believe that that the Trump's negotiation negotiating skills and the

605
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 11: fact that he won the presidency had a lot to

606
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 11: do with that. It's it's sad to see that the

607
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 11: hostages won't be coming home until Monday, but you know,

608
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 11: certainly this administration, the outgoing administration, has taught us to

609
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 11: be wared. We just have to question everything that has

610
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 11: been done under their tutelage. So I'm hopeful and optimistic

611
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 11: that once Trump gets in, things will go smoothly.

612
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think I think a lot of

613
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: people need to understand that while it is true that

614
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: the pressure Donald Trump put on Hamas to get those

615
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: hostages releases absolutely made the difference here, the individual stipulations

616
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: and parameters of this deal will still very much a

617
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: Biden administration production, or should I say, an Obama administration production.

618
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: So I'm with you, Cheryl, that we have to be wary,

619
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: all right, Cheryl, Listen On a brighter note, I thought

620
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: it was a great week overall for the Trump appointees

621
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: who face sented confirmation hearings, And if I had to

622
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: sum it all up, I think this comment by EPA

623
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: Director Designate Lee Zelden would do it best.

624
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 12: Listen to this in the wake of being so round

625
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 12: it with so much corporate and fossil fuel influence, I

626
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 12: want to give you two opportunities. One is to answer

627
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 12: to me, now, how is it that you will be

628
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 12: able to separate yourself from the influence of these people

629
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 12: in these interests when they come demanding things that they

630
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 12: think they've earned politically. And I'll also turn that into

631
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 12: a QFR so that you can with a little bit

632
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 12: more basis for reflection make a more complete answer. So

633
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 12: with that over to you for your a sponsor.

634
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 13: Center, I don't need any extra time for reflection.

635
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 12: On that one.

636
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 13: There is no person who has ever provided any level

637
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 13: of support to me or anyone else who has any

638
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 13: special influence with me. When I was in the Army,

639
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 13: I wore around my dog tags the seven Army values.

640
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 13: The acronym is leadership, loyalty, duty, you, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity,

641
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 13: and personal courage. It is important for me to have

642
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 13: always been able to approach this position with a clear

643
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 13: content to make decisions that I can live with for

644
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 13: my entire life. There is no dollar, large or small

645
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 13: that can influence the decisions that I make, who has

646
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 13: access to me and how I am ruling in my

647
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 13: obligations under under the law.

648
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: Senator, I'm happy to.

649
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 13: Enthusiastically answer that question on any day on the spot,

650
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 13: and I would never need any extra amount of time

651
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 13: of reflection.

652
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: Cheryl, your public relations genius, give Lee Zelden a grade

653
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 2: on his performance there.

654
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 11: A plus A plus, A plus A plus. I think

655
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 11: that he hit the nail on the head. I think

656
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 11: that what we are certainly witnessing are those that can

657
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 11: be compromised and those that can't. And it comes down

658
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 11: to authenticity and their their their actions basically, So I

659
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 11: applaud late for that.

660
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think it's It's interesting because I

661
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 2: think that this week the Democrats thought that they were

662
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: going to spike the football and get a bunch of

663
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: moments where they could really dance on Trump's grave or dance.

664
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: He doesn't have any he's about to become president. But

665
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: I think that they thought that they were going to

666
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: score some big points. Maybe not against somebody like Lee Zelden,

667
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 2: but I think they thought they were going to score.

668
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: Big points against Pete hegg Seth. They didn't.

669
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: All they did was screech. I mean even the men

670
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 2: were screeching at Pete hagg Seth. Then you had the

671
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: mazing Herono show. I mean, she embarrassed herself over the

672
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 2: course of two different confirmation hearings.

673
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: You know. Again, So I get you. You give Lee

674
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: Zelden an a plus.

675
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 2: What was your impression of how the Democrats performed this week,

676
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 2: because I think they missed an opportunity and the clown themselves.

677
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: But I'll give you, I'll give you your word on that.

678
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 11: Well, you know, I think that certainly here in my area,

679
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 11: the Democrats have been playing the victim. Oh we're so

680
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 11: beaten up. On look, we're here for the people. Let's

681
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 11: and from a pr standpoint, from from just a normal standpoint,

682
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 11: they out of themselves. They were completely full of it

683
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 11: this entire time. Things that you know, I've been calling

684
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 11: out their lives and their deception for a very long time,

685
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 11: and they just they just showed their hand, They showed

686
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 11: who they truly are as a party and as individual humans.

687
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 11: Prano was just abysmal, a total embarrassment. I can't name

688
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 11: one person that actually did due diligence, ask questions that

689
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 11: were viable and on point, it was more of the

690
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 11: attack mode, which is what they do. And to me,

691
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 11: it's just to cover up their own misdeeds and because

692
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 11: they think the American people are stupid, frankly, and we're not.

693
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 11: They've underestimated the American people. And you know what, let

694
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 11: them keep doing it. Those that remain, those that are

695
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 11: still somehow able to squeak through their you know, cheating abilities,

696
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 11: if you will, I have no other way to put it,

697
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 11: and remain in office. They won't be they won't be

698
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 11: given free reign to say what they want any longer.

699
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 11: And it has nothing to do with free speech. It

700
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 11: has everything to do with just being purely deceptive.

701
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: I've said this before of American Yeah, and I've said

702
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: this before.

703
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, this is true when Republicans are

704
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 2: grilling someone as well. There is no worse advertisement for

705
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: the American Constitutional Republic than Senate confirmation hearings. They are

706
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 2: filled with sanctimony, ignorance, hypocrisy, and it's just plain nasty.

707
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 2: All right, But let's talk about something a little bit

708
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: more positive, just at least at the beginning of this story.

709
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: It has been a good few days sharel for the

710
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 2: firefighters out in Los Angeles trying to continue those wildfires.

711
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: They had two days of massive wins and the firefighter

712
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: and the fires didn't multiply. And my take is that

713
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: no one is really keen, however, on handing over.

714
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: A massive amount of new.

715
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 2: Federal money to Gavin Newsomber Karen Bass unless they change

716
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: their policies and stop making California into a tinderbox. Now, Cheryl,

717
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: you know you've been an aspiring person to join the

718
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: House of Representatives.

719
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: I wonder if you could give me your.

720
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 2: Take on Speaker Mike Johnson openly saying last week and

721
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: this week that unless California changes his policies, you know

722
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: he's going to be a little bit more cautious about

723
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: handing over the federal money that the House controls.

724
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: I assume you support that, But do you think.

725
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: He's going to take a huge hit from the Democrats

726
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 2: who are going to say he's just a grinch.

727
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 11: I absolutely support that one thousand percent. And I don't

728
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 11: care what the Democrats think. Listen, Gavin and Bass have

729
00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 11: proven they are ill equipped, they were unprepared, they had

730
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 11: no crisis management planning in place whatsoever. We we all know.

731
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 11: I live on the East Coast. I know about the

732
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 11: Santa Ana wins plan that they could reach, you know, higher,

733
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 11: higher elevations of win velocity. I say, put conditions and

734
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 11: tell them what those conditions are, and perhaps go right

735
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 11: give money directly to any any the firefighters themselves. Listen,

736
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 11: I'm in an area, and I know this is how

737
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 11: it works. Most people don't realize that our first responders

738
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 11: are literally governed by the local government. So the mayor,

739
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 11: the county councils, the governor certainly, and and they I've witnessed.

740
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 11: They've hindered their progress on any level the police fire

741
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 11: departments based on feckless virtue signaling policies that have not

742
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 11: allowed them to do their jobs. I know first responders,

743
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 11: I know many people know first responders. They go in there,

744
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 11: they join with the heart and soul to save lives.

745
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 11: Period when they are hindered at every turn, and they

746
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 11: know they don't have the right equipment or it's being

747
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 11: taken away from them, they're being defunded, there's a problem there.

748
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 11: So I support Johnson's stance on placing conditions enough. They've

749
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 11: had enough time to prove that they're up to Speedsom

750
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 11: and they've failed. Newsom and Bass have failed miserably. And

751
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 11: my heart goes out to the fire department, and my

752
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 11: genuine gratitude goes out to that fire department that has

753
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 11: had to work with subpar leadership that hasn't allowed them

754
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 11: to do what they're supposed to do. And I guarantee

755
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 11: that they knew they were ill equipped for such a

756
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 11: massive fire on this scale.

757
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 2: You sure, el I only have about a minute left,

758
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: but I wanted to ask you about your challenging of

759
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 2: Jamie Raskin in the election last time, and ask you

760
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: about what you think we can expect from him and

761
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 2: people like him, because look, President Trump's going to be elected.

762
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 1: We just I just had Scott rasmusson on yesterday to say.

763
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: That most people who are career politicals don't even expect

764
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 2: to follow President Trump's legal orders.

765
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: So what can we expect from these folks in the

766
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: next four years.

767
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 11: Well, certainly with Jamie Raskin the same he's going to

768
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 11: try to impeach him. He's going to pull the fourteenths.

769
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 11: He's gonna his goal will be to do anything but

770
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 11: what he was elected to do. And I use elect

771
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 11: very loosely. He has no interest in the betterment of

772
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 11: our country, the safety of our country or citizens. His

773
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 11: main goal is to deal with his vendetta against President Trump.

774
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 11: Because President Trump is a man of integrity who's a doer,

775
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 11: who wants to save this country, and Jimmie Raskin is

776
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 11: a Marxist who doesn't.

777
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to get more into that.

778
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 2: We'll definitely have you on again, Cheryl Riley, Thanks Sue

779
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 2: so much for joining us.

780
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend.

781
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 11: Thank you you too.

782
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, David Brody, He's going to be

783
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: joining us, and we're going to be discussing our inauguration

784
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: countdowns and wishless. You're not gonna want to miss it.

785
00:42:30,480 --> 00:43:01,479
Speaker 2: An American Sunrise Early Edition coming right back. What you're looking

786
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 2: at right now is the control room rubbing it in

787
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: my face. They're in West Palm Beach, you see it

788
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: right there. I'm in New York where it's freezing in gray.

789
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 2: This is cruelty and I would like to file an OSHA.

790
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: For a HR complaint right now.

791
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 4: No, they're great.

792
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: They're great over there, all right, Welcome back, everybody to

793
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 2: American Sunrise Early Edition. Joining me also from the cold Northeast,

794
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: although down in DC is David Brody and David you know, look,

795
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 2: they elevant in the room in a good way.

796
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: Republican elephant is that we've got.

797
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 2: The inauguration coming up, and you know, the speech and

798
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: all the events on Monday are going to be very

799
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: very important. But I can help thinking back to January

800
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 2: of twenty seventeen, when the news media decided to make

801
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 2: the choice that I think is actually the most lethal

802
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: thing about the regime. News media, more lethal than their

803
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 2: liberal base, more lethal than their geographic bias.

804
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: They're a real bias.

805
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 2: They're real Achilles heel is the fact that they're negative

806
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 2: all the time.

807
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: They try to frighten you, they try to divide you.

808
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: There are some right wing media folks that do this too.

809
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: I try not to.

810
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 2: And they chose on that after that first inaugural addressed

811
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: by Donald Trump, to frighten the American people. Do you think, David,

812
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: they'll do it again.

813
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 10: Absolutely, There's no doubt about it. It'll be a little

814
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 10: bit more measured, It'll be a little bit more cloaked

815
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 10: in niceties to a degree on the surface. But let's

816
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 10: be clear, this whole mandate we hear that Donald Trump has,

817
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 10: which he does. By the way, the media will buy

818
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 10: that routine and that narrative for about a quick cup

819
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 10: of coffee a chock full of nuts on fifty seventh

820
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 10: Street and sixth Avenue. I mean, that's as long as

821
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 10: it's going to last for sure. By the way, it's

822
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 10: eighth Avenue, not sixth Avenue. But who's counting. So look,

823
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 10: I think that's the most important thing to understand here

824
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 10: with the media is that don't believe this idea that

825
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 10: they are all of a sudden with the program or

826
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 10: they're not, and by the way, nor should they be

827
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 10: with Trump's program or Obama's program or any program. But

828
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 10: they are, and they have been with Biden for sure,

829
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 10: and we'll we'll see. It'll be interesting. It's gonna be

830
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 10: freezing out there, Jake. It's going to be close to

831
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 10: about zero with the wind chill, So yeah, it's gonna

832
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 10: be eighteen to twenty degrees, but with the wind chill,

833
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 10: it could be anywhere from about five degrees to ten degrees,

834
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 10: maybe even colder than that. So it's going to be nasty, nasty,

835
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 10: all right.

836
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: My apologies to John Stossel and everyone who knows the

837
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: truth about how you don't catch a cold from being

838
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: out in the cold.

839
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: That's not how you get sick. But I'm still.

840
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: Worried about a little bit of a William Henry Harrison situation.

841
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 2: You're telling me zero degrees. Please, everyone who loves and

842
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 2: cares for Donald Trump, make sure that he is dressed warmly.

843
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: We cannot have him get sick. By the way, at.

844
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 2: No time in my life, including the kite of the

845
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 2: COVID pandemic, have I known more people in my personal

846
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: professional life.

847
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: Who are sick right now, that's another story.

848
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on, but you know that

849
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 2: will probably allow for people.

850
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: Maybe to focus more on the speech. But you know,

851
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: you tell me it's going to be zero degrees, so

852
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: you know what that means.

853
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: They're going to say not a lot of people came,

854
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: that it wasn't a happy day.

855
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: They're going to do stuff like that.

856
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 2: But of course, I think for those of us watching

857
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 2: at home, it's going to be gratifying.

858
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, and there's no doubt. By the way, a quick

859
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 10: little weather note, it's going to snow maybe an inch

860
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 10: or two the day before Inauguration Day. Nothing compared to

861
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 10: nineteen sixty one. Would JFK had a deal with a

862
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 10: nor'easter that came in the night before or the day before,

863
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 10: I should say, on January nineteenth. You know, they really

864
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 10: should have gotten rid of the twentieth Amendment that basically

865
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 10: moved this thing from March to January.

866
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: Let's go back to March.

867
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 10: Though quite frankly, Marching DC is not great either, but

868
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 10: at least it's better than January.

869
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: Well, you know, listen, as long as I make the

870
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl a national holiday, I'll be happy. They can

871
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 2: do whatever they want with inauguration Tom all right, thank you, David,

872
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 2: Hey everyone, thank you so much for joining me all
