1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Just ahead on American Sunrise, the fight to execute death 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: row inmate teets up. President elect Donald Trump now responding 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden's commutes after Biden allows nearly every federal 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: prisoner on death row to live. Then well, Trump dump 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: speaker Mike Johnson. The pulse of the Republican Party isn't 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: too keen on Johnson? Could his time holding the gavel 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: be nearing an end? Also, California Governor Gavin Newsom wants 8 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: to dodge Trump's mass deportation plans, but doesn't want to 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 1: tell taxpayers what it'll cost them. Those stories so much more, 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: as American Sunrise starts right now. 11 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: Good morning, America. 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to American Sunrise. 13 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 3: Well werks, culture. 14 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: We have breaking news to share with you. 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 3: Politics. 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 3: You've got your cover. 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: This is what it looks like to be a patriot. 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: We have to protect the American family. 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: The American dream is still alive. 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and. 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 4: I'm doctor Tina. 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 1: Good morning everybody.

And you know, we had the 38 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: traditional Chinese food on Christmas. Go figure, Look it's a 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: Jewish thing. I grew up with Chinese food. I know 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 2: it's not sesame, chicken and Jesus. It doesn't necessarily go together. 41 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: But look here's the thing. So you know, we did 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: the Chinese food, and now I've sucked in all the 43 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: Gentiles forew my literally my Jewish upbringing, and now all 44 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: the Christians and not just my family but my in 45 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: laws family. Now we're all doing Chinese. So I want 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: to apologize to everybody. Let do you know Christians across. 47 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: The world you order takeout, that's what you do. 48 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 2: Yes, that's what we did. I had an egg rolling, 49 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: some wanton soup, and a couple of pieces of sesame chicken. 50 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: Fascinating, fascinating. Wow, we're traditionalists. We didn't order to you. 51 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: I didn't even know any place was open anyway. Fascinating. 52 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: All right, we'll listen to you, guys. Here's a nice 53 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: talker this post Christmas morning, Congressman Marjorie Taylor Green and 54 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: never afraid of shaking things up of Georgia, of course, 55 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: posting this holiday tweet last Christmas under Democrat communist control. 56 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: She said, you know, freedom is coming, though, she reminded, 57 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: and so that is exciting. Off we go. 58 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: You know what, I get the post. I think most 59 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: of us appreciate it. But I also warned, let's not 60 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 3: get too cocky, because now that we've got control of 61 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: the House and Senate, there are expectations, and if you 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: fall short of those expectations, there's going to be hades 63 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: to pay. So just my thought, David. 64 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you said hades, so you had me at hades. 65 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Go ahead, Yes, I agree. 66 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: Sorry I need to interrupt you, David, I was just 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: going to say with you. With with these blessings, though, 68 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: comes much responsibility. As Terrence gives almost an omenous warning, 69 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: I can feel it already. I agree with you, Terrace, 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: there will be a lot will be in no shortage 71 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: of discussion with control of all fee bodies. Let's be 72 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: sure of that. 73 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, So let's get to a couple of the 74 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 3: other headlines that we're going to be talking about today. Guys. 75 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: President Trump on record saying that our allies should pay 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: their fair share. Well now, he is also trying to 77 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: make sure that the US gets a fair return on 78 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: money invested in major infrastructure like the Panama Canal for instance, 79 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: ahead his latest tire to oversee things there in Panama. Plus, 80 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: the political calendar is counting down to President Trump's inauguration 81 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: and a new Republican led House and Senate. Like we 82 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: just talked about, but after last week's budget debacle, what 83 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: is Speaker Mike Johnson's future as the top man in 84 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: the House. It's one of the storylines that we're going 85 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: to be talking about throughout the next couple of hours. Plus, 86 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 3: whether you play the lottery or not. The country is 87 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: talking about the more than one billion dollar jackpot that 88 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: is up for grabs tomorrow. Just remember, if you play 89 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: and you happen to win, Doctor Gina, David and I 90 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: would appreciate just one percent of your winnings. Each one percent, 91 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: that's all we're asking for. Those are just some of 92 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: the stories that we're going to be talking about this 93 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 3: morning that we're working on for you. But doctor Gina, first, 94 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 3: would you give us our Bible verse? 95 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Let's check out today's Bible verse from John four 96 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: fifteen through eighteen. Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the 97 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: Son of God God, dwelleth in Him and he in God. 98 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: And we have known and believed the love that God 99 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: hath to us. God is Love, and he that dwelleth 100 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: in love. Dwelleth in God and God in Him. Herein 101 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness 102 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: in the day of judgment, because as He is, so 103 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: are we in this world. There is no fear in love, 104 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: but perfect love casteth out all fear, because fear hath 105 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: torment He that fearth is not made perfect in Jesus 106 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: and love, sorry, rather in love. You know, really the 107 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: thing I want to say about that that I think 108 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: is so important. My pastor Bob Curtis, when my children 109 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: were young, always pointed out that God is love, but 110 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: love is not God. A lot in our culture today, 111 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: a lot of people worship love and they take God 112 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: out of it. Love is not God. God is love. 113 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: And if you don't have God, you don't have perfect love, 114 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: and you never will. I love that verse. Let's discuss 115 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: this to though. Meanwhile, President elect Donald Trump sounded off 116 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: on Joe Biden's federal death row commute, saying he can't 117 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: believe Biden would do such a thing. Trump posted on 118 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: true Social quote, when you hear the acts of each 119 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: you won't believe that he did. This makes no sense. 120 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: So as soon as I'm inaugurated, I will direct the 121 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect 122 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters. 123 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: We will be a nation of law and order. Again, 124 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: let's do discuss this with Republican strategist Bobby Everley. Bobby 125 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: is the post of the thirteen Minute News Hour, Welcome Bobby. Bobby. 126 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Trump has always supported the death penalty saying many times 127 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: during his campaign in twenty twenty four, give us your 128 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: reaction after hearing this, because not only has he these people, 129 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: there are families sitting at home with raped, dead, dismembered 130 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: loved ones who were on death row, who now don't 131 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: have the justice they were promised by the country that 132 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: they are a citizen of. This is so disturbing, is 133 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: it not. 134 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's hard to be shocked anymore on 135 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 5: what the Biden administration does. But even so, when these 136 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 5: came down, you were wondering, you know, who's he going 137 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 5: to commute, what crony, what corrupt official, like we saw 138 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 5: on his first batch of or large batch of pardons. 139 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 5: But this one really hits home. This one is the 140 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 5: shocking one, and it just it slaps in the face 141 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 5: these victims, these survivors, the family members that have to 142 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 5: go on knowing that their loved ones aren't there thinking, 143 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 5: as you said, that that justice was done at least 144 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 5: at the human level and the government level, And no 145 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 5: it's not. And what's I think been missed in the 146 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 5: media is Biden's statement where he said, you know, I'm 147 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 5: not going to commit or commute those of terrorists or 148 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 5: people that did hate filled acts. Well, all of these 149 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 5: are hate puild. I mean, if you rape young kids 150 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 5: and kill them, that is hate. If you go into 151 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 5: a bank and you just randomly shoot people and kill them, 152 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 5: that is hate. And even at the very end, Biden 153 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 5: is trying to make this some kind of racial issue 154 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 5: that if you kill one group, it's worse than killing 155 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 5: another group. And that has gone kind of unsaid right there, 156 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 5: But that is the theme. And it also makes you 157 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 5: think that maybe some others, these far leftists are running 158 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 5: the show in the final days. 159 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: Bobby, I'd like to turn your attention to that building 160 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: right there behind you, specifically Speaker Mike Johnson's credibility with Republicans. 161 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: Somehow's GOP lawmakers want the president elect to dump Johnson 162 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: after the speaker push through that last continuing resolution. The measure, 163 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 3: of course, wasn't what President Trump wanted, rather the one 164 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: that Democrats were jockeying for. So soon to be forty 165 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: seven has repeatedly said that Johnson, excuse me, will easily 166 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 3: remain Speaker if he acts decisively and tough all the 167 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 3: traps that are being set by Democrats. So the question 168 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: to you here is will Johnson actually keep the gavel 169 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: when the new Congress takes over in January, or is 170 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: he going to be one of those leaders who was 171 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 3: simply on a short leash. 172 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 5: Well, you know, the thing is going into this that 173 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 5: the trap that it was set was not necessarily by 174 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 5: the Democrats, but by the establishment in general. You know, 175 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 5: shortly after the election he won unanimous apprisal from the 176 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 5: caucus to continue on his speaker and so you think 177 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 5: he could just ride out just you know, a month 178 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 5: and a half or so and do a good job 179 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 5: represent those on the winning side. This was a MAGA 180 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 5: America first victory top to bottom mandate, electoral college, popular vote, 181 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 5: and then what do we get that fifteen hundred page Hey, 182 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 5: here's a little bit for everybody. The deep state, the establishment, 183 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 5: and the shock from the grassroots. You know, it wasn't 184 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 5: just Elon Musk speaking out. He gets a lot of 185 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: credit for his influence, but it was the rise of 186 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: the grassroots, the people that will not be camped, the 187 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 5: people that are not going to be pushed aside that 188 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 5: their voices are now being heard. They spoke out. And 189 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 5: I really don't know if he survives this because this 190 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 5: again was a final test. It should have been an 191 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 5: easy test. Let's just fund the government a couple more months. 192 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 5: I mean, most conservatives are against even that. Let's pass 193 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 5: real budgets. But you know Trump's coming in, so let's 194 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 5: just let him get in. And they tried to put 195 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 5: this massive pork spending, and it flies in the face 196 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 5: of everything we represent. And I'm glad those thirty plus 197 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 5: voted against it. I would have voted against it as well, 198 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 5: and so he deserves the scrutiny that he's getting. Right now, 199 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 5: let's say that. 200 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 2: Hey, Bobby, let me ask you about President elect Trump 201 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: and immigration, because he obviously wants mass deportations. But California 202 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: Governor Gavin Newsom, I mean, you can imagine he wants 203 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 2: to basically skirt all of this or basically get rid 204 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: of it. He wants to dodge all of Trump's plans 205 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,479 Speaker 2: for this. Newsom's internal team is mowing this memo circulating 206 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 2: around their circle calling for this immigrant support network, which 207 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: would basically help illegals facing deportations to various providers. There 208 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: are no details of the plan, but this is spending, clearly, 209 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 2: it's spending costs passed on to the taxpayers. Bobby we 210 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: got about thirty seconds. 211 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this is really going to come back 212 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 5: to hard end because you see other blue cities such 213 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 5: as New York coming on board. You see Chicago where 214 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 5: Brendon Johnson isn't on board, but the constituents, longtime Democrats, 215 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 5: are fighting back and so Californians are not going to 216 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 5: react well to this, especially since they passed this new 217 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 5: shoplifting law where they're actually cracking down. I think people 218 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 5: will like a little law and order, a little public safety, 219 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 5: and that will bleed over into this issue as well. 220 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 5: This is not good for Newsome at all. 221 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: Bobby, everily, thank you for being on with us. We 222 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: appreciate it.

As 238 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four comes to a close, President Trump continues 239 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: preparing to take office in twenty twenty five and move 240 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 3: his America First agenda forward. One of his Christmas presents 241 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 3: to the country on Wednesday was appointing Kevin Marino Cabrera 242 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 3: to serve as US ambassador to Panama. In a true 243 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: social post on Christmas Day, the President elect claimed that 244 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 3: Chinese soldiers are illegally operating in the Panama Canal. He 245 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: also points out that the United States spends billions of 246 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: dollars in repair money on the canal, but has no 247 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 3: say about anything related to it, and that's where Preprea's 248 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 3: appointment comes in. In his post announcing the ambassador pick, 249 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: mister Trump writes, as a Miami Dade County Commissioner the 250 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 3: vice chairman of the International Trade Consortium, he has been 251 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: instrumental in driving economic growth and fostering international partnerships. Few 252 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: understand Latin American politics as well as Kevin. He will 253 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,479 Speaker 3: do a fantastic job representing our nation's interests in Panama. 254 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 3: Kevin Gribreer, by the way, previously served as President Trump's 255 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: Florida State director and a member of the R and 256 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: C Platform Committee. Meantime, President Biden is leading office by 257 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 3: signing an avalanche of bills into law. The fifty bills 258 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: he signed this week are part of Biden's push to 259 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: complete his final priorities before President Trump takes office January twentieth. 260 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: The measures include making the bald eagle the country's official bird. 261 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: He also established the first federal anti hazing standards. However, 262 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 3: his biggest splashes came earlier this month, when he vetoed 263 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 3: legislation that would have added sixty six new judges to 264 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: understaffed federal courts nationally. He also committed the commuted excuse 265 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 3: me the sentences of thirty seven out of forty federal 266 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: inmates on death row. Mister Biden also made headlines when 267 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 3: he pardoned his own son Hunter unconditional. The fifth largest 268 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 3: jackpot in the Mega Million's life history will be up 269 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: for grabs tomorrow. The hall was estimated to reach one 270 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 3: and a half billion dollars. However, after no one matched 271 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 3: all six numbers during the Christmas Eve drawing, this jackpot 272 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 3: could grow even more. Lottery officials say the odds of 273 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: winning tomorrow's jackpot are one in three hundred and two million, 274 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 3: five hundred and seventy five thousand, three hundred and fifty, 275 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 3: but there's a chance. Tickets are sold in forty five states, 276 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: along with Washington, DC, and the US Virgin Islands. If 277 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 3: you plan to play good luck, and don't forget about 278 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: me if you win, that's a great check of your headlines. 279 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 3: We'll have more headlines coming your way in just a 280 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: little bit. Also coming up, the mainstream media tried hurting 281 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 3: President elect Donald Trump's image, but voters rejected what they saw. 282 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 3: Now it's time for the Trump Empire to fight back. 283 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 3: We'll discuss the incoming president's legal actions against the major 284 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: news networks.

Though a quick look at this day in history. 288 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 3: It was on this date in seventeen seventy six that 289 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: George Washington crossed the Delaware River into New Jersey. He 290 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,239 Speaker 3: and his troops surprised and defeated fourteen hundred Hessian soldiers, 291 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 3: marking a major victory for the colonial army. More American 292 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: Sunrise coming your way right after this break. 293 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: Augusta, Maine here of the day after Christmas.

Joe Biden was very busy with the pen 296 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve. He signed fifty bills into law, including 297 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: making the Old Eagle the national bird, a bill protecting 298 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: children as well at treatment and care centers, along with 299 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 2: a resolution requiring public colleges to include campus hazing incidents 300 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 2: on their annual security reports. He did not, however, sign 301 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 2: a bipartisan bill that would have created more federal judge positions. Anyhow, well, 302 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: let's talk more about this. Joining our show here that 303 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 2: would be American centoraze to talk about this is Tony Kinnett. Tony, 304 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: of course, investigative columnist at the Daily Signal. Tony always 305 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 2: good to see you. You know, first we saw Biden 306 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 2: commuting and pardoning sentences like no other. Now he's signing 307 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: a slew of bills, most of the bipartisan What do 308 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 2: you think what could come next? I mean, what do 309 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: you expect here before Biden goes out and heads over 310 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 2: to Denny's and orders the Tilapia. 311 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 7: Well, I'm actually quite shocked that we haven't seen Biden 312 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 7: come forward and make a series of pleas with the 313 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 7: American people or give any special incentives to states that 314 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 7: he thinks are going to be under the jack boot 315 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 7: of trump Ism or whatever we're fear mongering about today. 316 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 7: So as far as Biden is concerned, at this point, 317 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 7: I'm just surprised he hasn't been seeing wandering the White 318 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 7: House looking for his pair of orthopedic slippers. 319 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 3: You know, to your point, it feels like this is 320 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: all about trying to create some sort of legacy. I 321 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 3: have to admit I'm still trying to struggle to see 322 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 3: what legacy it is that he's trying to cement. But 323 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 3: he had four years to do things, and I think 324 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: we largely agree that he fell flat on his face. 325 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: Now it seems like he's just trying to legislate his 326 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 3: way into some sort of some sort of you know, 327 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 3: remember me once, I'm going kind of thing. How do 328 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 3: you see all of this. 329 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 7: I'm really glad that you said that, Terrence, because when 330 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 7: you consider his legacy, it's really almost half a century 331 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 7: of time in the federal capital of the United States 332 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 7: working for Americans. And as far as his legacy is concerned, 333 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 7: imagine coming to the end of almost fifty years of 334 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 7: public service or again whatever we call living off the 335 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 7: taxpayer dollar and not having an obvious legacy, if anything, 336 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 7: for me in my family, that's a strong encouragement to 337 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 7: make a life and a legacy worth living so that 338 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 7: no one has to cobble together some hackneyed remember me 339 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 7: when I'm gone Sarah McLaughlin commercial like Biden is clearly 340 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 7: trying to do a month before he leaves office. 341 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: Well, from Biden's farewell tour to Trump's cases against the 342 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: mainstream media, Tony Trump's lawsuits against the leftist media networks 343 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: is not about revenge, payback or getting even It's about justice. 344 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: Totally different perspective really than what we've been seeing over 345 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: these last couple of years. 346 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 7: Well, I think that a huge part of it is 347 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 7: the guy that has been fact checking ABC News like 348 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 7: it's my job. 349 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: Oh wait, sorry, it is my job. 350 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 7: Fact checking the mainstream media over the last year year 351 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 7: and a half, what I've discovered is a lot of 352 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 7: cases of not just journalistic malpract but journalistic maliciousness. It's 353 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 7: ridiculous the amount of times that the media has tried 354 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 7: to not just ruin the lives of President Trump, but 355 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 7: also ruin the lives of his family, also ruin the 356 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 7: lives of people who support him, people in many cases 357 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 7: who were just defending themselves. And the amount of iyre 358 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 7: that the Ivory Tower Ivy League media has held in 359 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 7: regard to not just you know, President elect Trump, but 360 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 7: average Americans is something that a lot of people are 361 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 7: ready to see taken down and taken down the legal way, 362 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 7: unlike those on the left, who you know, support the 363 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 7: violent murder of those in vigilante style justice. 364 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: Hey Tony, I want to get your take. You're obviously 365 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 2: an investigative reporter. What would you investigate when it comes 366 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: to Biden? And there's so many things in this administration? 367 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: Where where does the list begin for you? And I 368 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: do want to mention as it relates to the media, 369 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 2: because obviously the media should be investigated too, about the 370 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 2: the lack of due diligence or what they were, what 371 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 2: they knew and when they knew it as well. The 372 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 2: New York Times is out with with This is from 373 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: their beat reporter at the White House is not an 374 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 2: op ed and it says this a reflective Biden harbors 375 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: some regrets as his term winds down. And they not 376 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: once in this kind of retrospective of Biden's last days 377 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: in office do they say anything about him being mentally 378 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 2: incapacitated at all at all. As a matter of fact, 379 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: when they mentioned the debate where he dropped out in June, 380 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: I'll just read that part of it to you. It 381 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 2: says it says the president does. This is the New 382 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: York Times saying the President does not regret debating mister 383 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: Trump in June, an appearance that created a slow bleed 384 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: in his support among Democrats and ended with his ouster 385 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: as the party's presidential nominee. They never say why. I mean, listen, 386 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: this is driving me up a wall. Where would you investigate, 387 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: what would you investigate? Who would you investigate? 388 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 7: Tony Well, my specialty is in communications law. This is 389 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 7: one of the things that when I was in education, 390 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 7: I understood what could and could not be brought up 391 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 7: as far as communication in public education systems. Since then, 392 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 7: I would not say that I am an expert at all, 393 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 7: but when it comes to releasing federal communications, this is 394 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 7: something that I go after. I want to see each 395 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 7: and every email, each and every text pertaining to the 396 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 7: federal government's work with media companies. I think that we 397 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 7: need to take a stronger look at what happened during 398 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 7: the twenty twenty election, during the COVID pandemic, specifically because 399 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 7: the federal government used the strong arm of either the 400 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 7: carrot and subsidies or the stick of investigation and audits 401 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 7: to cowerce communications companies, whether it's social media, whether it's 402 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 7: legacy media, whether it's organizations who are nonprofits who might 403 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 7: donate to certain organizations or advertise with certain organizations, and 404 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 7: if they didn't tote the right political leanings, then bad 405 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 7: things might happen through Ya kabees. That's the kind of 406 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 7: stuff that I really feel needs to be investigated, because 407 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 7: that's very cut and dried a lot of this stuff. Obviously, 408 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 7: I want to investigate Ukraine influence peddling with China. I mean, 409 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 7: that's like that's an investigator walking like the kid into 410 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 7: a candy store. I mean that is blatant treason that 411 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 7: could be investigated. Sure, but right off the top of 412 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 7: the bat, let's get the low hanging fruit. The social 413 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 7: media companies have come out and said, yeah, we collaborated 414 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 7: with the federal government, Yeah, we did it to censor Americans, 415 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 7: and the Americans just went, I knew it, and then 416 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:29,479 Speaker 7: nothing else happened. 417 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 3: So your mafia hit man reference wasn't lost on me, Kapeche. 418 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 3: So I am going to move the conversation to this 419 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 3: startling new report that's about to come out that basically 420 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 3: highlights the potential for more murders of business leaders. As 421 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 3: some new surveys found out, some twenty percent of Americans 422 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 3: had empathy for United Healthcare CEO alleged assassin Luigi Mangioni. 423 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 3: Another twenty seven percent say the slang was quote an 424 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 3: understandable reaction to the high cost of healthcare in this country. 425 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 3: And even more disturbing is that more than two thirds 426 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 3: of Americans say the murder of CEO Brian Thompson would 427 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 3: inspire copycats. What does this say about where we are 428 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 3: as a country. 429 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 7: It says that we've lost the understanding for the difference 430 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 7: between the French Revolution and the American Revolution. I've gone 431 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 7: over this extensively on the show, which is that the 432 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 7: French Revolution was the idea that the elites are all 433 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 7: coming for us, and so therefore if you are an 434 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 7: elite and I get to decide what an elite is, 435 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 7: then therefore they get the guillotine. And so they started 436 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 7: lopping heads off, and eventually someone noticed that Robespierre, who 437 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 7: was leading the French Revolution, thought hey, you know, this 438 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 7: kind of makes you an elite, and they lopped his 439 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 7: head off. Because once you start vigilante style the corporatized 440 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 7: victim meaning the individual who feels infringed upon without any 441 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 7: actual proof. Basically just they feel as though something went wrong, 442 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 7: so therefore it's institutional crime against them. Once that individual 443 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 7: starts to do in the head loopping, it never stops. 444 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 7: Cause most of the problems in your life are caused 445 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 7: by you. This is one of the truisms of humanity. 446 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 7: This is why the American Revolution said, let's fix problems 447 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 7: ourselves by setting up proper systems. The French Revolution just said, 448 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 7: let's kill people until we feel satiated. Well, human bloodlust 449 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 7: has no saytiet point, it's it's one of the truths 450 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 7: of original sin. And so when I look at this, 451 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 7: it's it's a deeply troubling thing to see. It's one 452 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 7: of the reasons why I am optimistic that so many 453 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 7: Americans are seeking faith, are seeking community at this time, 454 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 7: because I think that's one of the only things that 455 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 7: can turn America away from what truly would be were 456 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 7: this to become the mainstream ideal the end of the Republic. 457 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 3: Wow, there was a much deeper answer than I was expecting. 458 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 7: I like your former teacher. 459 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 2: I love some threads you pull on.

Sometime in your forties you begin 495 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: to really catch on to the ability to do that, 496 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: your own ability to just not have toxic people in 497 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: your life and put those people in your life nurture 498 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: and inspire you. I'm choking now on the cookies that 499 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm eating that Bo brought. I can blame him, all right. 500 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: Second tip. Second tip, reflect on all of the good 501 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: things and accomplishments that you've done in the last year. 502 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: Make a list if you have to. I do this 503 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,959 Speaker 1: all the time. You know now that phone our iPhones anyway, 504 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: have the notes in there. You can make lists all 505 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: the time. Make lists and then when you need to 506 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: refer back to them. This is one thing I do. 507 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: I make a list of all my best friends so 508 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: that I can just sit around and think about how 509 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: blessed I am that God has brought these people into 510 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: my life. It's one of those things that just keeps 511 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: you possible. Right, Make a list of the things that 512 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: you did last year that you feel good about and 513 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: how you're going to build on them this year. Make 514 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: a list of your accomplishments For example, if you wanted 515 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: to lose fifteen pounds this year and you lost ten, well, listen, 516 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: that's still a win, it's not a failure. Also, avoid 517 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: comparing yourself to others. This is so important. Life is 518 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: not a competition. And also life is not what you 519 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: see on Instagram, right. You know, you look on Instagram 520 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: and you see This is why I think it's really 521 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: important for people who do have a significant following to 522 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: post some of the real stuff too. Post your house 523 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: when it's a mess as you're getting ready for Christmas.

My house was a tornado 526 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: in the day's preceding Christmas. It looked pretty on Christmas, 527 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: but it was trash to get about ten minutes after Christmas. 528 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: So anyway, Third tip, engage in distractions at this time 529 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: of year.

We don't have 535 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: peonies in Florida, but if we did, those are my 536 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: favorite flowers and I love them so much.

Why not start a new tradition that means 544 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: something healthy. Maybe staying home, enjoying your pets without the 545 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: bad junk foods, without the alcohol. Challenge yourself to maybe 546 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: go through with just maybe if you're not going to, 547 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: maybe maybe challenge yourself not to drink at all. Or 548 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: you could challenge yourself to have one drink and then 549 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: a glass of water, and then another drink and then 550 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: in a glass of water.

Cancel culture at Death's door, an endless list 578 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 2: of people like actors, writers, musicians, comedians, along with political leaders, 579 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: definitely on the conservative side. They were targeted by the 580 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: woke mob this year. But with a new year and 581 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 2: a new president coming now in twenty twenty five, is 582 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 2: the witch hunt finally over? Well, let's talk about that 583 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: a little bit. Join us now is Hannah Faulkner. Hannah, 584 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 2: seventeen year old student.

So you're also, 587 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 2: By the way, we should mention the author of the 588 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 2: new book Last Chance to Save a Republic. We got 589 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 2: to get that in Hello Kitching, Hannah tell us about 590 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: the biggest cancel culture examples of twenty twenty four. I mean, 591 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: do you think cancel culture will drift away now that 592 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: President Trump is coming back into office in twenty twenty five? 593 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: What do you think the future is here? 594 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: Man? 595 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 4: I think Cancel culture died officially on November fifth, twenty 596 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 4: twenty four, with leadership that. 597 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 8: Has had had enough. 598 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 4: The Trump administration will say enough is enough, no to 599 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 4: this cancel culture that we're seeing it. 600 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: And here's what I say. 601 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 4: Cancel culture is like a nice way of referring to 602 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 4: the censorship that happens in communist countries. And the way 603 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 4: that the LAFT has tried to censor and silence American 604 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 4: citizens is disgusting. It's disgraceful. You guys saw what he did, 605 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 4: what they did to Harrison Bucker earlier this year. The 606 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 4: way that they tried to ridicule this man for simply 607 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 4: talking about traditional values. The way that the media labeled 608 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 4: him as was disgusting. And it's simply just for saying 609 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 4: that God and man for a woman, that we have 610 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 4: significant roles in society. That the way that the feminist 611 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 4: movement has destroyed our roles is plainly I mean, the 612 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 4: reason why we're seeing the things that we're seeing in 613 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 4: society today, and it's it's just the truth, right. And 614 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,959 Speaker 4: so we got to see how the left really hates 615 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 4: the traditional family. They hate traditional roles in society because 616 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 4: the number one thing that the communists, you know, they 617 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 4: hate the number one thing that they fear is strong, 618 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 4: godly structured families because they can't control them, and that's 619 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 4: why families are constantly under attack. But something else that 620 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 4: I saw, especially among students, and I know one of 621 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 4: my friends just over the past four years, they were 622 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 4: labeled as you know, extremists for writing the word biological woman, 623 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 4: biological female on their papers. They were labeled, you know, 624 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 4: those maga domestic terrorists in their their school system by 625 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,439 Speaker 4: these professors. So this was a recurring theme, especially among 626 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 4: the educational system. We saw with Nancy Mace just recently 627 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 4: being assaulted not just physically with words, but then not 628 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 4: just you know, verbally with words, but physically by a 629 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 4: trans person at at the Capitol recently. So, I mean, 630 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 4: cancel culture has been really just again a nice way 631 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 4: of referring to the censorship that happens in communist country. 632 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 4: But it died on November fifth, and I'm exciting for 633 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 4: this energy that we're seeing headed into twenty twenty five. 634 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: Hannah, the mystery behind the White House hiding Joe Biden's 635 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: cognitive decline will be a story for the ages. Everybody knew, 636 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: we all knew. We talked about it for the last 637 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: four years. Biden was babbling and bumbling his weight throughout 638 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: his entire presidency. But what's all too painful is White 639 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: House reporters never demanding answers, never asking the tough questions, 640 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: not doing their job. Hannah, Imagine if you don't do 641 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: your job, imagine having a job. You could be so 642 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: bad at it and still keep it. If you write 643 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: a book or you do terrible commentary, you're not coming 644 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: back on shows, and nobody's going to read your books. 645 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: You don't get to keep your job, right, Hannah. It's 646 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: bad enough that the attacks on President elect Trump had 647 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: to thwart off all of the things that he to 648 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: thwart from the media, but they kept no accountability on 649 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Your comments, Yeah. 650 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 4: No, absolutely, I mean you talk about recently what he 651 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 4: just did. The Biden Harris regime, they commuted thirty seven 652 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 4: vile criminals. These weren't just robbers. These weren't just those 653 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 4: that you know, maybe robbed a few things from Walgreens. 654 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: These were murders. 655 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 4: These were rapists, kidnappers, some of the most vile criminal 656 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 4: behavior that you could possibly think of. That Joe Biden 657 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 4: removed from the death row, for them to sit in 658 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 4: federal prison being paid for by American taxpayers, and all 659 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 4: the left, all the Biden Harris regime, all of their 660 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 4: reporters want to talk about, is how President Donald Trump 661 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 4: is going to pardon January six ers who mostly did 662 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 4: nothing wrong. There were maybe a few bad apples there 663 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 4: on January sixth, but by and large, they didn't murder anyone. 664 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 4: They didn't rape anyone, and they didn't kidnap anyone. And 665 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 4: they have served enough time. Anyone that is in prison 666 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 4: right now for being there in January six they have 667 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 4: served enough timing. 668 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: Enough is enough with this. 669 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 4: The things that they have done to January sixth is 670 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 4: completely disgusting. The way that they have sciartem. You talk 671 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 4: about what this Biden Harris regime has done. The reporters, 672 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,479 Speaker 4: those there at the White House, they have answered zero 673 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 4: questions like why are you guys saying Daniel Penny as 674 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 4: a villain and not the hero. Why are you panting 675 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 4: Jordan Neely as the hero when we now we see 676 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 4: you know, this woman just this week being burned at 677 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 4: the subway and this is because of your failed policies. 678 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 4: It's because of the Biden Harris regime allowing a wide 679 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 4: open border where thousands of thousands of illegal aliens every 680 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 4: single day coming across our borders. 681 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: We have no idea who they are. 682 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 4: MS thirteen gang members, trend Araqua members. Here in the 683 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 4: state of Tennessee and the major cities. It's disgusting. But 684 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 4: I do want to say this is day after Christmas. 685 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 4: I know people are watching. We do have some exciting 686 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 4: things to look forward to you. I mean, this is 687 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 4: the same energy I was at Amfest this past weekend. 688 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 4: The same energy that we saw in seventeen seventy six 689 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 4: when our founders signed the Declaration of Independence. Is the 690 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 4: same energy that we're saying here headed into twenty twenty 691 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 4: five with President Trump. So we've got lots to look 692 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 4: forward to, lots of stuff to do. This is a 693 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 4: movement that we're seeing. 694 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 2: I tell you what, Hannah Faulkner, when you speak, I 695 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 2: mean the future is bright.

Cloning that'd big fan ethically later, 705 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 2: what are some New Year's traditions that don't involve like 706 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 2: a ball dropping or champagne resolutions. We're going to be 707 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 2: back and talk about that. The fun starts again in 708 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 2: two minutes. 709 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 3: Welcome back to American Sunrise is always It's good to 710 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 3: have you along for the ride. I'm Terrence Bades. It 711 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 3: is now time to stay awake, not woke, and imagine 712 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 3: being compared to an Ostrich Well. New research from the 713 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 3: group Navigator Research finds that one person called the Democrats 714 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 3: just that because quote they've got their heads in the 715 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,720 Speaker 3: sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas even 716 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 3: when they're failing. Post election analysis proved the Dems have 717 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 3: a long road ahead to rebuild their party. Voters say 718 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 3: that left leaders are quote weak and overly focused on 719 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 3: diversity and elites, and they still have no real leader. 720 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 3: It's a blame game between Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Inflation 721 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 3: and woke culture. Let's bring in doctor Geena and David 722 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 3: to talk a bit more about this. And doctor Gina, 723 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 3: you have said for quite some time that you'd like 724 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 3: to see Democrats turn things around and at least get 725 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 3: on message or be able to relate to the regular 726 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 3: average American in terms of politics and in terms of 727 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 3: platform issues. That's one of the big failures right now 728 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 3: for Democrats. Their tone death. 729 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Democrats at their authentic best, right. 730 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I want Democrats to win without merit. 731 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: I'm saying I want a Democrat party that presents a 732 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: challenge again based on truth, based on goals for America, 733 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: based on helping Americans live better life, because that's the 734 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: role of government. Right. The only way they've won in 735 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: recent recent history, Terrence and David, as you of course 736 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: well know, is by lying, deceiving, manipulating, defrauding, committing treason 737 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: every dishonest way they can possibly find to win. I 738 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 1: want a Democrat party who goes back to its ruts 739 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: and tells their voters the truth and wins based on 740 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: good ideas that might be different from Republicans, but that 741 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: are still of the people. I want the elite eradicated 742 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: in this country. And I don't mean physically, I just 743 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: mean for their power base. 744 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 2: David, Yeah, it's such a great point. And I think 745 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 2: the keyword there is authenticity. They need to be authentic 746 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 2: with the voters, and they have not been. And there's 747 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 2: a reason for that is because their party has been 748 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 2: taken over by the radical left. And the radical left 749 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 2: can't win the authenticity argument because voters will not go 750 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 2: for that. They just won't. And so if you try 751 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 2: to win the argument from an authenticity standpoint with radical 752 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 2: left talking points, you're done not going to happen. And 753 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 2: so so I think that's part of the problem here. 754 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 2: And so what they need to get back to is 755 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 2: beyond just authenticity. They need to get back to the 756 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 2: blue dog Democrats. They need to get back to the middle. 757 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 2: They need to get back to those models. I mean, 758 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: think about Bill Clinton or Jay go back to JFK, right, 759 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 2: I mean JFK and you have Bill Clinton. Well, John 760 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 2: Kerry lost right because that was kind of like at 761 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 2: the beginning in nineteen what am I thinking of two 762 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 2: thousand and four, sorry, two thousand and four, I mean 763 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 2: Kerrie embraced that radical leftists, those many of those radical 764 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 2: leftist policies. You know, Al Gore didn't win, you know, 765 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 2: climate change and all that, so that is not the 766 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 2: winning ticket for the Democrats. But Bill Clinton appealed to 767 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 2: moderate blue dog Democrats. Chefk obviously before that those are 768 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 2: winning Democrat presidents. As for Obama, I think it's a 769 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,760 Speaker 2: one off there because he was making history to a degree, 770 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 2: and I think the I think also the country was 771 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 2: kind of going down a bit of a moral slide 772 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 2: for sure, at the beginning of a moral slide at 773 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 2: the time. The point is is that they must be 774 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 2: authentic because these focus groups, Terrence, in that article that 775 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 2: you talked about, they specifically said, we didn't believe what 776 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 2: Kamala was saying. She was just giving us a line. 777 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 2: And the reason she was giving people a line is 778 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,439 Speaker 2: because if she really revealed what she really wanted to do, 779 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 2: not that she would be five paragraphs deep, but even 780 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 2: two sentences deep on radical left policies aren't going to 781 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 2: get the job done with the voters. So she had 782 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 2: to be generic. 783 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 3: No, absolutely, It's going to be interesting to see what 784 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 3: these next four years have in store as Democrats try 785 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 3: to respond to a Trump presidency. We shall see will 786 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 3: of course be covering it as well, coming out the 787 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 3: best gifts moving forward in twenty twenty five can be 788 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 3: infused in our everyday lives, and that would be, of 789 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 3: course Jesus Christ at the center of it all. So 790 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 3: let's open more presents to allow the joy of life 791 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 3: into our lives. All of that coming up next here 792 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,720 Speaker 3: on American Summers. 793 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: Bless the Us. 794 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,240 Speaker 9: In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. 795 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody who Americans sunrize. I'm David Brody. Time 796 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 2: now for a moment of faith brought to us by 797 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 2: Lee Greenwood and the God. Bless the USA. Bible in 798 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,320 Speaker 2: focus today gifts from God heading into the new year. Now, 799 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,720 Speaker 2: many of us unwrapped our Christmas presents yesterday. One gift though, 800 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 2: that is definitely available to everyone, Jesus Christ as the 801 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 2: Lord and Savior. Well, let's bring in historian Bill Federer 802 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,280 Speaker 2: to talk about that. He's the author of so many books, 803 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 2: But how about this one. This one kind of rang 804 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 2: a bell for us, so to speak, There really is 805 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 2: a Santa Claus history of Saint Nicholas and Christmas holiday traditions. Bill, 806 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 2: you're the man with so many different books. Great to 807 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 2: have you marry Christmas to you by the way. You know, 808 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 2: a lot of attention is focused on Santa Claus this 809 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 2: time of the year, but Jesus, of course, bill is 810 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 2: the reason for the season. He obviously offers the best 811 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 2: gifts of all. So tell us more about the gifts 812 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 2: that are available really to everyone, not just a Christmas 813 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 2: but all year round. Yeah. 814 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 10: Well, you know, Christmas Day went on to become the 815 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 10: most important day in Western civilization. You had kings like 816 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 10: King Clovis of the Franks and three thousand of his 817 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 10: soldiers got baptized on Christmas Day in four ninety six AD. 818 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 10: Ten thousand Anglo Saxons were baptized in five ninety seven AD. 819 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 10: In England, Charlemagne was crowned Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day. 820 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 10: William the Conqueror was crowned on Christmas Day in ten 821 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 10: sixty six, And this was the most important day, you know, Christmas. 822 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 10: We recognize that God so loved the world that he 823 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 10: gave his only begotten son. And the question is why, Well, well, 824 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 10: God is just and he can't help it. And everything 825 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 10: we observe is laws, laws of planetary motion, laws of physics, 826 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 10: laws of optics, laws of gravity, and his laws for 827 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 10: human behavior is called being just, and so he has 828 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 10: to judge every sin. Otherwise he's denying is just nature, 829 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 10: and so he could never be loved back because if 830 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 10: he created beings with free will and we stepped out 831 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 10: of line and you have to judges. But he sent 832 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 10: his own son to take the judgment in our place. 833 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 10: Charles Wesley wrote to him, amazing, Love, How could it 834 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 10: be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? So 835 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 10: God is just and that he judges every sin. But 836 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 10: he's loving that he provided the lamb to take the 837 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 10: judgment for the sin. You know, it's foreshadowed when Isaac 838 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 10: asked Abraham, Father, we have the wood for the sacrifice, 839 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,800 Speaker 10: and we have the coals for the sacrifice, but where's 840 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 10: the sacrifice? And Abraham says, son, God will provide himself 841 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,760 Speaker 10: a sacrifice. And it has a double meaning. I'm trusting 842 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 10: God will have the ram up in the bush, but 843 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 10: the others God will provide himself as the sacrifice. And 844 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,400 Speaker 10: that's what happened. Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, 845 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 10: the only begotten son of God in the plan of 846 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 10: redemption that was hidden from ages. It was a hidden plan. 847 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 10: Possel Paul said, if the princes of this world had known, 848 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 10: they never would have crucified the Lord of Glory. The 849 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 10: plan of redemption that was hidden from the foundations of 850 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 10: the world, but now revealed in us his saints. And 851 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 10: this hidden plan, Jesus, the Son of God became man, 852 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 10: became the lamb, and he took the judgment for our 853 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 10: sins in our place, so that God can love us 854 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 10: without having to judge U. That's the miracle of redemption. 855 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 10: So God, can we approach God through the lamb, and 856 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 10: so he is all the judgment we deserve. One on 857 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,919 Speaker 10: Jesus again. So the Lamb is God's way to love 858 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,439 Speaker 10: you without having to judge you. One of the other 859 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 10: things I bring up is I wrote a book called Believe, 860 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 10: and I go through how an eternal being whose innocent 861 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 10: suffering for a finite period of time is equal to 862 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 10: all of us finite beings who are guilty suffering for 863 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 10: an eternal period of time. Right infinity times finite equals 864 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 10: finite times infinity. An unlimited being suffering for a limited 865 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 10: period of time is equal to all of us limited 866 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 10: beings suffering for an unlimited period of time. Jesus took 867 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 10: the judgment in our place so that we could be 868 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 10: adopted into the Kingdom of God. 869 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 2: Well, Bill Federer, just a great insight, great faithful insight. 870 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,919 Speaker 2: And boy, ask a historian a question and someone like you, 871 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 2: that's a lot of meat in that answer.

Mister Biden also made headlines when he 986 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 3: pardoned his son Hunter unconditionally. The fifth largest jackpot in 987 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 3: Megamillion's lottery history will be up for grabs tomorrow. The 988 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 3: hall is estimated to reach one point one five billion 989 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 3: dollars after no one matched all six numbers during the 990 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,320 Speaker 3: Christmas Eve drawing. Lottery officials say the odds of winning 991 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 3: tomorrow's jackpot are one in three hundred and two million, 992 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,800 Speaker 3: five hundred and seventy five thousand, three hundred and fifty 993 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,800 Speaker 3: sounds like a big number, but there's still a chance. 994 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 3: Tickets are sold in forty five states, along with Washington, DC, 995 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,959 Speaker 3: as well as the US Virgin Islands. If you happen 996 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 3: to play, good luck and don't forget about us. All right, 997 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 3: let's get you back over to David and doctor Gina. 998 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,840 Speaker 2: Now all right? Uh T, I appreciate it. As we 999 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,120 Speaker 2: get closer to inauguration day, House Speaker Mike Johnson is 1000 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 2: asking President elect Trump for some help. He's going to 1001 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,960 Speaker 2: need it. Fox News is reporting that Johnson is asking 1002 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 2: Trump to step in and help him keep the speaker's role, 1003 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,760 Speaker 2: and he added it could hinder the election certification effort. 1004 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 2: This comes after Trump allies reportedly said they were unhappy. 1005 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,879 Speaker 2: Excuse me, I'm all choked up with not having the 1006 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 2: debt ceiling portion in the budget deal and President elect 1007 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 2: Trump sent several truth social posts on Christmas. This one 1008 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,840 Speaker 2: he called on hockey legend Wayne Gretzky to run for 1009 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 2: office in Canada. Trump Trump posted, I just left Wayne Gretzky, 1010 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,280 Speaker 2: the great One, as he is known in ice hockey circles. 1011 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,880 Speaker 2: I said, Wayne, why don't you run for Prime Minister 1012 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,760 Speaker 2: of Canada soon to be known as the Governor of Canada. Yikes, 1013 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 2: you would easily, You would win easily. You wouldn't even 1014 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 2: have to campaign. You had no interest. But I think 1015 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,640 Speaker 2: the people of Canada should start a draft Wayne Gretzky movement. 1016 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 2: It would be so much fun to watch Trump is 1017 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 2: a piece of work. For more, Let's bring in the 1018 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 2: editor in chief of the Daily Signal, Rob Lewis. Rob, 1019 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 2: all right, I'll put the Trump thing on the back 1020 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 2: burner for a segment. But what are you hearing regarding 1021 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 2: the Johnson situation? Because the reality is, Rob, is that 1022 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,160 Speaker 2: if Trump endorses Johnson publicly for speaker, then he's going 1023 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,759 Speaker 2: to be speaker. I mean, you'll wonder though, if that's 1024 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 2: going to happen. And the timing is important here because 1025 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 2: that first vote of the new House, when lawmakers are 1026 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,800 Speaker 2: sworn in, is on January third. That's when they elect 1027 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 2: a speaker. The certification of the President, as you know, Rob, 1028 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 2: comes three days later on January sixth, So Republicans can't 1029 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 2: be fighting about this for weeks. 1030 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 11: Good morning, David, and you're absolutely correct that this is 1031 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,240 Speaker 11: a pivotal time for Republicans to get their act together 1032 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 11: and make sure that they start on a strong footing. 1033 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:00,960 Speaker 11: Donald Trump wants to see that. Of course, he won't 1034 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,439 Speaker 11: take office until January twentieth. But because the speaker vote 1035 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,919 Speaker 11: takes place on a Friday and then the certification vote 1036 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 11: takes place on a Monday, I'm not sure that Republicans 1037 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 11: are going to want to be digging around over the 1038 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,399 Speaker 11: weekend trying to figure out what to do about their leader. 1039 00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 11: So a Trump endorsement would certainly carry a lot of 1040 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 11: weight For Mike Johnson. I'm sure that he's counting on 1041 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 11: that to help him get across the finish line. He 1042 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 11: can't afford to lose maybe more than one or two votes. Remember, 1043 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 11: Democrats will not vote for him for speaker this time. 1044 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 11: They're likely to vote for Hakim Jefferies, and so that 1045 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,279 Speaker 11: means the margin is narrow. As ever, given the fact 1046 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,360 Speaker 11: that there are two hundred and twenty House Republicans and 1047 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 11: two hundred and fifteen Democrats. 1048 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,719 Speaker 3: So if President Trump doesn't vocally and publicly endorse him, 1049 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 3: is that an indictment. 1050 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 11: Well, Donald Trump is probably not too pleased with how 1051 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,919 Speaker 11: things played out at the end of the year. Given 1052 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 11: the spending bill, he wanted to take the debt ceiling 1053 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 11: off of the table and not have to worry about 1054 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,719 Speaker 11: that in his first year in office. And so Mike 1055 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 11: Johnson was not able to deliver on that. Were a 1056 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 11: group of thirty some Republicans who didn't want that included 1057 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 11: in the spending legislation, and they've had You know, there 1058 00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,880 Speaker 11: are reasons for doing that, and so I don't necessarily 1059 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,760 Speaker 11: blame those Republicans. It was kind of a last minute 1060 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 11: surprise on Trump's part. At the same time, Johnson has 1061 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 11: been criticized for not negotiating harder with Democrats. Remember that 1062 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 11: first bill that he produced was fifteen hundred pages, was 1063 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,240 Speaker 11: not something that Donald Trump was enthusiastic about. And then 1064 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,920 Speaker 11: Elon Musk and others rallied to oppose it. And so 1065 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 11: you have a situation where the dynamics are are kind 1066 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,920 Speaker 11: of tough terrence, and I'm not sure exactly how this 1067 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 11: is going to play out in this particular case, because 1068 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 11: an endorsement of Mike Johnson signals that Donald Trump has 1069 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 11: his back and he has the confidence in him to 1070 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 11: lead the House. 1071 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 1: It's very interesting because I sure do see Mike Johnson 1072 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 1: around here often, which tells me that he talks to 1073 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 1: President Trump off flying a lot that he you know 1074 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 1: that I believe they've developed what is truly a genuine friendship. 1075 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 1: But I also know that President Trump has got to 1076 00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,760 Speaker 1: be taking a lot of pressure from Magare. Mike Johnson 1077 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 1: is concerned, and it starts President Trump's term off with 1078 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: a big decision to make. Where do you think what 1079 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,479 Speaker 1: do you think will happen to the opposition right now 1080 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 1: for Mike Johnson? 1081 00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,680 Speaker 11: Sure, well, if you look at some of those who 1082 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 11: are opposed. You have Thomas Massey, a Republican from Kentucky 1083 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 11: who's known to be, you know, a bit of a 1084 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 11: maverick in his own right. You have the chairman of 1085 00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 11: the House Freedom Caucus, Andy Harris, who has said he 1086 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,800 Speaker 11: is now undecided after previously saying he would support Johnson. 1087 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 11: And so the two of them signal, you know, important 1088 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 11: constituencies in the House, particularly the Freedom Caucus. The Freedom 1089 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 11: Caucus is a group of conservative members. They were the 1090 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,800 Speaker 11: ones that largely delivered the no votes on the final 1091 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,640 Speaker 11: spending bill before Congress because they did not like the 1092 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,960 Speaker 11: fact that it was not offset with spending cuts and 1093 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 11: so Mike Johnson does not have a whole lot of 1094 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 11: room to navigate. And you remember that previous attempts to 1095 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 11: oust him as Speakers, he relied on Democrats to get 1096 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 11: across the finish line when there were votes for Ukraine 1097 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,040 Speaker 11: and other things that came before him. And so I 1098 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 11: think that what Republicans need to do is they need 1099 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,480 Speaker 11: to have the same mentality that the Democrats seem to do. 1100 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 11: They vote in the large blocks. You can afford to 1101 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 11: maybe lose one or two members, but that is it. 1102 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 11: And then the other factor here is remember Donald Trump 1103 00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 11: has picked several House Republicans to serve in his cabinet 1104 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 11: and administration, and so those Republicans will vacate the House meeting, 1105 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 11: the margins going to be even thinner. And so there 1106 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 11: are a couple of big things, doctor Gina, that we 1107 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 11: need to pay attention to. The first is reconciliation in 1108 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 11: order to get the money for a border wall and 1109 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 11: other things that Donald Trump wants to accomplish from a 1110 00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,920 Speaker 11: policy perspective, he'll need Monk Johnson to deliver on that. 1111 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,919 Speaker 11: And then secondly, extending the tax cuts which will begin 1112 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 11: to expire. And so that's a priority of Donald Trump. 1113 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 2: Robin thirty seconds or less. Reconciliation. Go explain to our audience. 1114 00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,520 Speaker 2: And there are various stude audience, but just you know 1115 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 2: what forget them explain to me. No, but just tell 1116 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 2: us a little bit about reconciliation. Explain that. I mean, 1117 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 2: we're not talking about kumbaya here, we're talking about other stuff. 1118 00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 2: Go ahead, that's right, right, thanks, David. Good reminder. 1119 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 11: Yes, reconciliation has been used in the past to get 1120 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 11: through on a fifty one vote margin in the Senate, 1121 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,920 Speaker 11: and so Barack Obama used it to pass the Affordable 1122 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 11: Care Act Obamacare. Donald Trump used it to pass the 1123 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 11: tax cuts in twenty seventeen. And so you don't have 1124 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 11: to go through the same process where there's that higher 1125 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,000 Speaker 11: bar to get sixty votes in the Senate. You can 1126 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 11: get it through with a simple majority, but you can 1127 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 11: only use it about once per year, or in this case, 1128 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 11: they're going to use some clever procedural maneuvers to do 1129 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 11: it twice in twenty twenty five. And so those are 1130 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,600 Speaker 11: opportunities to get through legislative priorities when you have a 1131 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,040 Speaker 11: narrow margin, as Republicans do. 1132 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 2: Great explanation. Yeah, that's right. Budget reconciliation. That's the name 1133 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 2: of the game. That's how Washington does it. All right, Rob, 1134 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 2: great to have you, Thanks so much, Mary Christmas, Thanks 1135 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 2: for Robb, Harry Christmas.

But first, as 1138 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,760 Speaker 2: we get closer to the new year, tax day nears again. 1139 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 2: How can you protect yourself against the big bad irs 1140 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 2: or like the big bad wolves, we assess that next 1141 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 2: American Sunrise returning after this, tell your ride Colorado. 1142 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 3: It is gorgeous up to this time of year.

It is time or soon will 1148 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 3: be time to file your taxes. That means the season 1149 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 3: of filing ten ninety nine W two's and so much 1150 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,720 Speaker 3: more fast approaching. It will start here in the new year. 1151 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,880 Speaker 3: But there are lots of questions about what is in 1152 01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,040 Speaker 3: store when it comes to your taxes. In twenty. So 1153 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,320 Speaker 3: let's talk about filing your taxes with Cameron Kinsey. She 1154 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 3: is a spokeswoman for tax Network USA. Cameron, always good 1155 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,920 Speaker 3: to see you, Marry Christmas to you and your family. 1156 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 3: But now it is time, unfortunately, to get back to 1157 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,800 Speaker 3: work for many of us, and for many of this 1158 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 3: that means also shifting our focus to filing taxes. So 1159 01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 3: what kind of services does tax Network USA offer people 1160 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,320 Speaker 3: who might be watching right now to kind of help 1161 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 3: ease their mind as they go into this period. Then, 1162 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 3: let's just be honest, can be a little frightening for 1163 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 3: most people. 1164 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:30,440 Speaker 1: It is. 1165 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,480 Speaker 8: I mean, look, taking on the irs by yourself is 1166 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 8: super risky. So at tax nek or USA, we're just 1167 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 8: here to give you some peace of mind during this 1168 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:40,800 Speaker 8: process because we know that it can be a burden. 1169 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 3: It. 1170 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,000 Speaker 8: Like you said, it's Christmas time, it's the holidays. People 1171 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,920 Speaker 8: want to spend this time with their family and friends, 1172 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,480 Speaker 8: not thinking about the burden of the government overreach and 1173 01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,680 Speaker 8: the irs. So their expanded reach under this administration, we've 1174 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,200 Speaker 8: seen it. It means that they're more aggressive than ever. 1175 01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,840 Speaker 8: And at tax Network USA, we have a tax relief 1176 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 8: professionals know the ins and outs of the tax code 1177 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 8: and can get better results than you could get them 1178 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 8: going into this process alone. So where your advocates were 1179 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 8: protecting your finances, so really you can just focus on 1180 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 8: your family and your future. 1181 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,960 Speaker 3: Cameron. In preparation for our interview today, I was reading 1182 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:20,600 Speaker 3: over several articles. In one of them basically talked about 1183 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 3: the new tax brackets they are coming up in twenty 1184 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 3: twenty five and some of the new tax laws. The 1185 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 3: reality is, and I consider myself a pretty well read person, 1186 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,680 Speaker 3: but I was confused after just reading an article. So 1187 01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,160 Speaker 3: I can only imagine what normal people are feeling as 1188 01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,200 Speaker 3: they try to go into this tax filing season and 1189 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 3: try to figure it all out. That's probably why it's 1190 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 3: so important to use a tax professional who should know 1191 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 3: the nuances of some of these new laws. 1192 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the IRS and forces a convoluted tax 1193 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:52,400 Speaker 8: code that often leaves hardworking Americans vulnerable to mistakes and penalties, 1194 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 8: and what the expanded resources like, we've seen it's more 1195 01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 8: aggressive targeting the everyday taxpayers. Hopefully this will get better 1196 01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 8: under the Trump administration, but it definitely won't change overnight. 1197 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 8: You know, when I worked in the Trump administration, we 1198 01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 8: focused on protecting middle income families by reducing IRS enforcement 1199 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 8: in their brackets and promoting fairness. So at Tax Network usay, 1200 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,920 Speaker 8: now we are here to ensure that you keep every 1201 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 8: single dollar you've earned, safeguarding your financial future, giving you 1202 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 8: that peace of mind as well. 1203 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,960 Speaker 3: The filing season will really kicking the high gear over 1204 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 3: the next month or so. People will start getting their 1205 01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 3: w twos here in the next few weeks and then 1206 01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,560 Speaker 3: start to look at how they're going to file and 1207 01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 3: what they're going to do. What advice would you give 1208 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 3: people as they're starting this filing season as opposed to 1209 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:41,840 Speaker 3: kind of ending it and trying to rush at the 1210 01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 3: very end. 1211 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, Terrence, I mean, look, I tell everybody this. I 1212 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,920 Speaker 8: would just say, don't wait, you need to take action. 1213 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,520 Speaker 8: Now we've seen it. Under the Biden Harris administration, the 1214 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:56,240 Speaker 8: IRS they've had more resources, eighty billion dollar funding boost, 1215 01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 8: eighty seven thousand new IRS agents. You know, they have 1216 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,560 Speaker 8: more resources than ever to pursue these collections, which means 1217 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,919 Speaker 8: delays could cost you more, etc. So here at Tax 1218 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 8: Network USA, you know our team of experts we specialize 1219 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 8: in creating manageable solutions like payment plans or settlements to 1220 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 8: reduce your debt, so acting now will give you more 1221 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,840 Speaker 8: options and just keeps the small problems from becoming bigger ones. 1222 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 3: Later on, Cameron, we appreciate your time, folks.

Oh my goodness, we're going to take a 1232 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:53,200 Speaker 3: look at that ahead first though, fire jets have either 1233 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 3: gone down or just avoided crashing through the friendly fire. 1234 01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 3: What's causing all of this? We'll ask that question and 1235 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:18,960 Speaker 3: try to answering next here on American Sunrise, Manhattan, Manhattan, 1236 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 3: New York. Yes, good morning, we're getting you ready for 1237 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 3: the opening bello at the New York Stock Exchange. It's 1238 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 3: going to ring here in about seven minutes, of course, 1239 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,840 Speaker 3: will take you there live. I can tell you pre 1240 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 3: market trading not looking so hot right now, particularly after 1241 01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 3: the holiday season. The Dow is down, as are the 1242 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,600 Speaker 3: S and P five hundred and the NASDAC. The good 1243 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:39,600 Speaker 3: news is the bottom part of your screen is in 1244 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 3: the green, gold, silver, and crude oil are all up 1245 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 3: slightly but still up, So hopefully all of that will 1246 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 3: change the moment the bell rings. Well, of course, will 1247 01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 3: take you there live once that happens. But now let's 1248 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,200 Speaker 3: get you back over to David. Good morning, Good morning tee. 1249 01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 2: All right, now over to Ukraine where russiall launched a 1250 01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:01,560 Speaker 2: massive strike of drones and missiles targeting energy fields. Ukrainian 1251 01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:05,440 Speaker 2: President Zelensky said the strike on Christmas was in humane. 1252 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,240 Speaker 2: The strike left about five hundred thousand people without heat 1253 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 2: and that comes as temperatures there are about zero degrees. 1254 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,040 Speaker 2: Seven people were killed in the strike. So what can 1255 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 2: we expect coming up here for more, Let's bring in 1256 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 2: retired Navy seal officer Mike Surley. Mike, good to have 1257 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,520 Speaker 2: you here. Well, let's talk about this. How does this 1258 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 2: play out with Trump coming on board now and all 1259 01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 2: the geopolitical ramifications. What's the short term prognosis and maybe 1260 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,720 Speaker 2: a bit of the long term one as well. 1261 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 12: Well, David, you know what I hope to see is 1262 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 12: when President Elect Trump takes office, is that he calls 1263 01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 12: for an immediate cease fire to start the negotiations to 1264 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,960 Speaker 12: bring this conflict to a resolution. Now, there's a lot 1265 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:55,840 Speaker 12: of people that are shocked by the Christmas attacks. 1266 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:56,440 Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. 1267 01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 12: You know what Putin is trying to do not only 1268 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:05,760 Speaker 12: take out their critical infrastructure, but just exact a psychological 1269 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 12: toll on the people of Ukraine. I mean, you take 1270 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,800 Speaker 12: away their energy, you take away their heat. That has 1271 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 12: a major impact on morale. And it's not surprising. And 1272 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:23,200 Speaker 12: for people that think a Christmas attack is deplorable, you know, 1273 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:27,200 Speaker 12: I will remind you that General Washington across the Delaware 1274 01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:30,560 Speaker 12: on Christmas to attack British and Hessian forces. 1275 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 2: No, No, that's a good point. So what do you 1276 01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:37,040 Speaker 2: think this is all about regarding Russia and Ukraine to 1277 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,320 Speaker 2: a degree which is that they know Trump is coming in? 1278 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 2: Is this everybody kind of getting there? I mean, I 1279 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,760 Speaker 2: hate to say it kind of last licks in before 1280 01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,720 Speaker 2: they have to come to the negotiating table. I mean, 1281 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:49,439 Speaker 2: is this all about leverage at this point? What's happening here? 1282 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 12: Well, David, you're absolutely correct what Putin is trying to 1283 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,600 Speaker 12: do while Ukraine is merely trying to defend their sovereignty. 1284 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,240 Speaker 12: Putin is trying to go for a landgrad. The further 1285 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,960 Speaker 12: he can move forward line of troops prior to that 1286 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 12: ceasefire in the negotiation gives him more claim or as 1287 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:09,800 Speaker 12: you said, leverage to declare more of Ukraine. I mean, 1288 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 12: the bottom line here is Ukraine is most likely going 1289 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 12: to lose the Dnbas region in these negotiations, and there's 1290 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:18,280 Speaker 12: probably just no way around that. 1291 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I was going to go there and expert, 1292 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 2: let me move on. Like and so, we had one 1293 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,639 Speaker 2: Navy fighter jet, American Navy fighter jet that went down, 1294 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,720 Speaker 2: another almost went down due to friendly fire incidents in 1295 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,439 Speaker 2: the Red Sea over there in the Middle East near Yemen. 1296 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,600 Speaker 2: How common are these? Does it come down to a 1297 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,040 Speaker 2: lack of readiness under the Biden administration or like, take 1298 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,760 Speaker 2: us through friendly fire and some of these incidents. I mean, 1299 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,439 Speaker 2: it's dangerous over there, but friendly fire is a different matter. 1300 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,799 Speaker 12: Yeah, David, a great point. I will say they rarely happen. 1301 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,679 Speaker 12: Fracture side is one of the most frowned upon things 1302 01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 12: in the military. Can you make an argument that this 1303 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,639 Speaker 12: is a lack of readiness due to the Biden. MI, Yes, 1304 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,200 Speaker 12: you possibly could, but I'll tell you this. What this 1305 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:07,640 Speaker 12: is is a mishap of failure in deconfliction of the 1306 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,840 Speaker 12: battle space. And this was conducted by the USS Gettysburg, 1307 01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 12: which is part of the Truman Carrier Strike Group. Now 1308 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,639 Speaker 12: tensions are high over there and what they probably thought 1309 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 12: it was was a retaliation from hoo they forces. But 1310 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 12: there will be a massive investigation to identify the root 1311 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,880 Speaker 12: cause analysis of why this happened, and what that's going 1312 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 12: to come back with is probably a lack of training 1313 01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,760 Speaker 12: communication in human error. You may see the commanding officer 1314 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,600 Speaker 12: of the USS Gettysburg be relieved to hold accountability in 1315 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 12: the military. But this is tragic in the fact that 1316 01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,559 Speaker 12: we lost a sixty million dollar asset, possibly almost lost 1317 01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 12: a second. More importantly, thank god that the two pilots 1318 01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 12: are okay and that someone didn't have to knock on 1319 01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,680 Speaker 12: the front door of their families to inform them that 1320 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 12: they lost their loved ones in the Christmas season. 1321 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 2: For sure, I'd be REMISSI I didn't ask you about this. 1322 01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 2: I mean it has military implication, clearly, definitely national security implications. 1323 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,639 Speaker 2: But Trump has talked about Hey, Greenland would be great 1324 01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 2: to buy if you will, from Denmark and Panama Canal. 1325 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,200 Speaker 2: He's talking about the Panama Canal and they better not 1326 01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 2: go back on the treaty and watch the tariffs there. 1327 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 2: I mean, these are important national security interests according to 1328 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,640 Speaker 2: Trump for the United States. What do you make of 1329 01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 2: some of the talk we're hearing regarding those two? He 1330 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,719 Speaker 2: even mentioned Canada, but we'll leave that on the backshelf 1331 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:25,160 Speaker 2: for now. 1332 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 12: Well, you got to love his style. Greenland is merely 1333 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:36,080 Speaker 12: a strategic geopolitical position for our forces for contingencies for 1334 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,640 Speaker 12: a broader global conflict. So it makes sense with the 1335 01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:44,920 Speaker 12: Panama Canal. We've continually lost, let's say, influencing that region 1336 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 12: due to the Chinese. Now the Panama Canal, and I 1337 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 12: shouldn't have to educate anyone on this is critical to 1338 01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:55,479 Speaker 12: maritime trade and the Panamanians have been taking advantage of 1339 01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,240 Speaker 12: our aid to them over the years, and it's about 1340 01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:02,040 Speaker 12: time that we take lets average back. I mean, remember 1341 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,400 Speaker 12: we helped build the Panama Canal and lost a lot 1342 01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 12: of Americans in that pursuit, So we do have claim 1343 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,479 Speaker 12: to greater negotiation powers and control over the Panama Canal. 1344 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 2: In my opinion, no doubt about it. And then of 1345 01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 2: course Greenland huge up there, especially with some of the 1346 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 2: melting that's going on in the Arctic, you've got more 1347 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:25,599 Speaker 2: trade routes that It makes it even more interesting for sure. 1348 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 2: Thank you, Mike, appreciate you, Thank you so much. 1349 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:30,960 Speaker 9: Thanks David all. 1350 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 2: Right, appreciate your service to our country.

On Christmas. Trump 1419 01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 1: posted on True Social page two Merry Christmas to the 1420 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:30,160 Speaker 1: radical left lunatics who are constantly trying to obstruct our 1421 01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,639 Speaker 1: court system and our elections, and are always going after 1422 01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 1: the great citizens and patriots of the United States, but 1423 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:39,840 Speaker 1: in particular their political opponent me. They know that their 1424 01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,360 Speaker 1: only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man 1425 01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,720 Speaker 1: who has absolutely no idea what he's doing. For more, 1426 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 1: or let's bring in the host Will Oh, I'm not 1427 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,200 Speaker 1: doing that yet. For more, I think I'm just going 1428 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 1: to talk to David Brody, David Brody and Jerry. How 1429 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,040 Speaker 1: lucky am I to be surrounded by such amazing gentlemen. No, 1430 01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,040 Speaker 1: but you guys, this is something that we kind of 1431 01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:04,400 Speaker 1: saw this coming. This does present a bit of a 1432 01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:08,080 Speaker 1: dilemma for President Trump. He's gonna have to make some 1433 01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:10,559 Speaker 1: big decisions on what he's gonna do with this Mike 1434 01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,120 Speaker 1: Johnson thing. And I could tell you one thing, you 1435 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,200 Speaker 1: guys know, I'm glued to our chat. I love our 1436 01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,640 Speaker 1: chat and all the great people, prayer warriors in it. 1437 01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 1: They don't like Mike Johnson. They don't like him at all. 1438 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:26,639 Speaker 3: Terence, Now I get it you and I've been thinking 1439 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,800 Speaker 3: about this really for the past couple of weeks. I 1440 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:34,160 Speaker 3: think in terms of character, sterling character, but in terms 1441 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 3: of chops, in terms of backbone, in terms of efficacy. 1442 01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,439 Speaker 3: There's some serious questions about Mike Johnson's lead at Johnson 1443 01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 3: as leader leader, But it comes down to what are 1444 01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 3: the other options? You know, Jim Jordan is a name 1445 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:49,800 Speaker 3: that's always going to come up, but let's just be honest, 1446 01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 3: he wasn't able to pull it out last time. So 1447 01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,880 Speaker 3: what has changed over the last six to eight months 1448 01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:59,479 Speaker 3: that might allow Jim Jordan to win this time. I'm 1449 01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,200 Speaker 3: not so sure he would. And the other option would 1450 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:06,120 Speaker 3: be that Democrats ultimately get some headway in a HAKEM. 1451 01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:08,720 Speaker 3: Jeffries or someone like that might win. And so I'm 1452 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,439 Speaker 3: not so sure. There are other options. Plus. The bigger 1453 01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:15,559 Speaker 3: picture here, David is Republicans, particularly in the House, need 1454 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 3: to find some way to unite in order to move 1455 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,080 Speaker 3: President Trump's agenda forward. If you can't even unite over 1456 01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,479 Speaker 3: who's going to lead you, then how can unite over 1457 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 3: a supporting the president. I think to me, that's frightening. David. 1458 01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:31,280 Speaker 2: At this stage, I agree with you on the Jim 1459 01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:35,360 Speaker 2: Jordan situation. What might make a difference is three days, 1460 01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:38,439 Speaker 2: in other words, January third, January sixth. In other words, 1461 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,080 Speaker 2: when that certification happens on January sixth, it has it 1462 01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 2: really does has to happen on January sixth. So therefore 1463 01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,519 Speaker 2: they've got to get a speaker in place, and that 1464 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,479 Speaker 2: puts more pressure to get someone in there. Now, what 1465 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,160 Speaker 2: I think is going to end up happening, and I 1466 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,080 Speaker 2: think we'll see the stories move here in the next 1467 01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,880 Speaker 2: week or so, is that there will be some behind 1468 01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 2: the scenes negotiations with the House free him call this 1469 01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 2: to say, look, here's the deal. Mike Johnson can have 1470 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,439 Speaker 2: first crack at this and let him try to do 1471 01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:09,880 Speaker 2: it on his own. If he can't, we got to 1472 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:13,080 Speaker 2: make sure Jim Jordan, slash whoever is ready to go. 1473 01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 2: I know some people are not the biggest fans of 1474 01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:18,760 Speaker 2: Jim Jordan too, let's be honest on that. But I 1475 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,000 Speaker 2: think they better have a plan B and it needs 1476 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 2: to be right away on January third. And the way 1477 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 2: I see this is like The Apprentice, you know, with Trump, 1478 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,920 Speaker 2: and like Mike Johnson walking into the boardroom like that's 1479 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,280 Speaker 2: what he's doing right now. He's walking the boardroom going 1480 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,240 Speaker 2: I need your help, and Trump's sitting behind the desk 1481 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,559 Speaker 2: is the host of The Apprentice going Mike, you failed me. 1482 01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,080 Speaker 2: You failed me, Mike. You know you know that was 1483 01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,600 Speaker 2: real tough. And then I kind of feel like if 1484 01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,360 Speaker 2: he's going to go all apprentice on Mike Johnson, he'll say, Mike, 1485 01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 2: you figure this out for yourself and you gotta do this, Mike. 1486 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,559 Speaker 2: Come on, you can do it, Mike, and let's see 1487 01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:57,200 Speaker 2: what happens. And if he fails, that's where the three 1488 01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 2: dimensional and four dimensional chess that Trump needs to play 1489 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,320 Speaker 2: right now comes into play. In other words, Trump all along, 1490 01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 2: while he's having that conversation with Johnson, is also having 1491 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 2: conversations with the House Freedom Caucus and others to say, Okay, 1492 01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:11,240 Speaker 2: who's our backup? What are we going to do here? 1493 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 2: Because what Trump's gonna say for sure is I don't 1494 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:17,720 Speaker 2: January sixth needs to go on as scheduled, and we 1495 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:21,519 Speaker 2: don't need any drama going into January tenth, twelve, fifteenth, 1496 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:25,160 Speaker 2: ninety twenty visits. So they're right, So therefore they got 1497 01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,280 Speaker 2: to figure this out. So I think that's what's going 1498 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,559 Speaker 2: on right now, Gina. I think that's what will go 1499 01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 2: on for sure. 1500 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not like they're going to fly blind here. 1501 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:36,240 Speaker 1: There are conversations happening. There will be a plan, you know, 1502 01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: we will watch it unfold. And Trump, I believe, is 1503 01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:43,080 Speaker 1: probably very well aware if he's hearing it all from 1504 01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 1: Maga like I'm hearing from Maga, which I'm pretty sure 1505 01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:51,040 Speaker 1: he is. He's under no illusion that Mike Johnson is 1506 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,840 Speaker 1: a popular speaker right now with his base. And so 1507 01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 1: while this presents a problem, this is this is the 1508 01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,240 Speaker 1: man we always expect to play fort echs and we 1509 01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:01,880 Speaker 1: should expect that he's doing it now too. 1510 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 3: Terrence, No, absolutely, and I think it will work out. 1511 01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:12,080 Speaker 3: But it doesn't create an atmosphere, a comfortable atmosphere, particularly 1512 01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:16,439 Speaker 3: going into this new environment in which Republicans have control 1513 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,559 Speaker 3: of the House and the Senate and the White House. 1514 01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,519 Speaker 3: There's an expectation. We've said it, there's a mandate from 1515 01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:25,439 Speaker 3: the American people, and I, for one, would be a 1516 01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:28,919 Speaker 3: lot more comfortable if we're entering this in a unified 1517 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 3: fashion and having everything already worked out, rather than the 1518 01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 3: wrangling happening behind the scenes, particularly when it comes to 1519 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,639 Speaker 3: leadership of a body that's already got a thin majority. 1520 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:41,639 Speaker 3: Right now, guys, let me. 1521 01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 2: Just say one last thing, maybe he needs a little 1522 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,280 Speaker 2: bit more Nancy Pelosi in him, you know, because Nancy 1523 01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:51,759 Speaker 2: Pelosi obviously, from an ethical standpoint, goodbye, Nancy Sia. That 1524 01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:55,000 Speaker 2: unethical train is left and you're driving the train on that. 1525 01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:57,800 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the fact 1526 01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 2: that she had an iron fish and she didn't play around. 1527 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,040 Speaker 2: And part of that, part of that is because the 1528 01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,120 Speaker 2: Democrats are a bunch of sheep and there's no free 1529 01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,280 Speaker 2: thought amongst them, so she has easier there's no doubt. 1530 01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the Republicans at least have some 1531 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,920 Speaker 2: you know, free enterprise and free thought and all of that. 1532 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,760 Speaker 2: So it's harder as a Republican. But having said that, 1533 01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:24,479 Speaker 2: he needs a little bit more iron fist one hundred percent. Uh, 1534 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,679 Speaker 2: and he doesn't have it. And so he probably needs 1535 01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,760 Speaker 2: more Nancy Pelosi and him and he doesn't have it. 1536 01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:30,640 Speaker 2: He just doesn't have it. 1537 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,280 Speaker 3: He'll never have his character, his personality. 1538 01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Okay, nice guy. Great, So you 1539 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,320 Speaker 2: know I'll vote for you for you know, pastor, but 1540 01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,800 Speaker 2: maybe not Speaker of the House. 1541 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 1: David, what are you hearing a back channel? You know 1542 01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 1: from some of the members of Congress that you talked 1543 01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 1: to Barre in Washington, d c. More often, perhaps than 1544 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:55,320 Speaker 1: Terrence and me. What are you hearing in terms of 1545 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,519 Speaker 1: what's going on? Because we have to remember that not 1546 01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,839 Speaker 1: every Republican is in any way, shape or form or MAGA. 1547 01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,760 Speaker 1: Maga's really I think it's a majority at this point. 1548 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:07,479 Speaker 1: But in terms of really strong MAGA, you know, I 1549 01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:09,800 Speaker 1: would say what, I don't know, what would you give it? David? 1550 01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:14,240 Speaker 1: Percent of the entire caucus? So what are you hearing 1551 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:18,400 Speaker 1: in terms of what's feasible considering that the majority of 1552 01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,960 Speaker 1: the Republicans our frankly establishment in Washington, d C. 1553 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:24,960 Speaker 2: Well, that goes to the fact that they would rather 1554 01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,200 Speaker 2: just have Mike Johnson be the speaker and let's move on. 1555 01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:30,200 Speaker 1: Right, Jay Wilson. But what does that mean in terms 1556 01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:31,200 Speaker 1: of how this shakes out? 1557 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, you know, look, here's what I 1558 01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:39,120 Speaker 2: think is, here's here's my sense of it. After speaking 1559 01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,600 Speaker 2: to a couple of these folks. I think that ultimately 1560 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,600 Speaker 2: Trump and the mandate are going to win out. So 1561 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,280 Speaker 2: what does that mean. That means that if Trump comes 1562 01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:52,760 Speaker 2: out and supports Johnson, he'll be speaker. If not, it's 1563 01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,200 Speaker 2: a free for all. And I think that that's where 1564 01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:58,479 Speaker 2: it's at, and that basically I think that's the way 1565 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,599 Speaker 2: it's going to shake out. But I do you think 1566 01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:05,040 Speaker 2: that others in the House Freedom Caucus are having conversations 1567 01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:08,479 Speaker 2: with Trump and some of his staff, But let's be honest, 1568 01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,479 Speaker 2: a lot of them are just talking to Trump directly 1569 01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,000 Speaker 2: about what the plan be is. But no, I think 1570 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:16,160 Speaker 2: I think that that's the bottom line. We're all waiting. 1571 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:17,800 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Tim Burchett said on this 1572 01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:20,800 Speaker 2: show last week, or earlier this week. I can't get 1573 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 2: it now all straight. I think it was earlier this week. 1574 01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,639 Speaker 2: If Trump, yeah, exactly, if Trump comes out and endorses Johnson, 1575 01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,320 Speaker 2: then it's over. Then he'll be speaker, and I agree. 1576 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 1: I agree with that too. But here's this, here's a 1577 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,519 Speaker 1: second question, Terrence. I know you like to think about 1578 01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:37,000 Speaker 1: the psychology like I do, and I'm perplexed over this. 1579 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,880 Speaker 1: Trump has two very strong predominant traits. What is that 1580 01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,800 Speaker 1: he definitely sees plays chess four deep, but the other 1581 01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:46,479 Speaker 1: one is Terrence, and you know this, he is so 1582 01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 1: incredibly loyal. Which which prevails here? Will he be loyal 1583 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,920 Speaker 1: to Speaker Johnson, his buddy, his friend, they've definitely developed 1584 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:57,080 Speaker 1: a relationship, or will he be playing chess and thinking, 1585 01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:58,400 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't know if I want to 1586 01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,160 Speaker 1: battle a week speaker for four. 1587 01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 3: You know what, I'm going to play politician here. I 1588 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,639 Speaker 3: think he's most loyal to the American people and making 1589 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,680 Speaker 3: sure that he's able to move his agenda forward. And 1590 01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:12,800 Speaker 3: if he, after analyzing all of this, decides that Mike 1591 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:16,080 Speaker 3: Johnson hasn't and likely won't be able to help him 1592 01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 3: move his agenda forward and won't be someone in the 1593 01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,880 Speaker 3: House that can really get him the votes that he 1594 01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:23,680 Speaker 3: needs to do that. I think he is going to 1595 01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,600 Speaker 3: move on to someone that he sees as being more effective. 1596 01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:29,040 Speaker 3: And David, you mentioned this just a little while ago, 1597 01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:30,800 Speaker 3: and it's what I've said. You just said it more 1598 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:33,439 Speaker 3: eloquently than me. I think Mike Johnson is a nice guy, 1599 01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,280 Speaker 3: and President Trump probably sees him as a nice guy, 1600 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,520 Speaker 3: but he hasn't shown the kind of leadership and backbone 1601 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,760 Speaker 3: that it takes to be an effective leader of the 1602 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,000 Speaker 3: US House. At least that's how I see it, and 1603 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 3: being in our ghetto chat, it seems that there are 1604 01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 3: a lot of other people that see it that way 1605 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,679 Speaker 3: as well. Go ahead, David, I'll give you the last word. 1606 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:51,120 Speaker 1: Sorry. 1607 01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:53,200 Speaker 2: Well, and Gina, you hit on the key part of 1608 01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,240 Speaker 2: that where you said week speakers. So what does that 1609 01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:56,920 Speaker 2: mean if you have a week speaker? And that means 1610 01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:00,240 Speaker 2: Trump has to spend more of his time, of his 1611 01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:04,360 Speaker 2: valuable time, cajoling members of Congress to see it his 1612 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:07,519 Speaker 2: way rather than letting the speaker do his job as 1613 01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,639 Speaker 2: a strong speaker. And that's the problem that Trump's gonna 1614 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 2: have to But. 1615 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 1: It's the devil he knows. It's the devil. He knows 1616 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,479 Speaker 1: Mike Johnson might be a weak speaker, but he doesn't 1617 01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,559 Speaker 1: know necessarily how strong someone else is going to be 1618 01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:23,120 Speaker 1: until they're put in that position. 1619 01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,040 Speaker 2: Well, and let's also remember that Mike Johnson. When Trump 1620 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,360 Speaker 2: came and said to Johnson, hey, I want the dead ceiling, 1621 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,160 Speaker 2: I want this, and that Johnson jumped. I mean, he said, 1622 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 2: here you go, Okay, we're gonna do it. I'm gonna 1623 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,679 Speaker 2: put on the floor. And and uh, there's not much 1624 01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,800 Speaker 2: Johnson can do about Tom Massey and other people. I mean, 1625 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,080 Speaker 2: it is what it is. I mean, I know, I 1626 01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,080 Speaker 2: know people want Johnson to crack the whip on Massy 1627 01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:48,840 Speaker 2: and take away maybe a gavel or this or that. 1628 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,320 Speaker 2: That's what he probably should do, but he's not going 1629 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,479 Speaker 2: to do it. And so I don't know. It's it's tough. 1630 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 2: But Johnson did jump when Trump said, uh, this is 1631 01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:58,880 Speaker 2: what I want. He did do it. 1632 01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. So what my argument though, is, Yeah, it's not 1633 01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,280 Speaker 3: about Johnson jumping. It's about him being able to push 1634 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,200 Speaker 3: everyone else and making everyone else jump and get in line. 1635 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,920 Speaker 3: And I feel like he's failed there. And again, I 1636 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,880 Speaker 3: don't know if that's just a personality thing. Or if 1637 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,120 Speaker 3: it's largely due to the fact that there are so 1638 01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 3: many competing factions, if you will, and ideologies within the 1639 01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 3: Republican Party that makes it a bit more challenging to 1640 01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 3: get everyone on the same page. I don't know, but 1641 01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,680 Speaker 3: what I do know is that Johnson hasn't necessarily been 1642 01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:27,800 Speaker 3: effective in the uniting. 1643 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:29,920 Speaker 2: But if we think Jim Jordan, if we think Jim 1644 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 2: Jordan and these other guys are gonna any of it, 1645 01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 2: I mean, who's going to crack the whip? Is there 1646 01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:36,839 Speaker 2: one Republican that could? I mean think, well maybe. 1647 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:41,840 Speaker 1: MTG speaker Bert I don't know, means yeah, you know, 1648 01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I know our audience would love that. You know, 1649 01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,200 Speaker 1: here's the thing is, it's going to be something to 1650 01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 1: watch and we're going to be watching it with this audience. 1651 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:51,720 Speaker 1: How blessed are we, you guys, to be going into 1652 01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five with an audience like this one and 1653 01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,479 Speaker 1: so pretty great? All right, you guys, coming up, AOC 1654 01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 1: has some new ridiculous claims for our country.

With President leg 1669 01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,799 Speaker 3: Trump said to be inaugurated soon, aoc thinks the country 1670 01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 3: is heading for an oligarchy. Take a listen. 1671 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:15,280 Speaker 13: Oh, I don't think we're witnessing the start of an oligarchy. 1672 01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 13: I think we are fully here. You literally have a 1673 01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 13: completely unelected billionaire who has just taken over and paused 1674 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:38,439 Speaker 13: government funding to specifically take out provisions regarding China and 1675 01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:45,960 Speaker 13: other areas that pertain to him. You have billionaires who 1676 01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:49,479 Speaker 13: run news outlets like Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post. 1677 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:53,960 Speaker 13: Billionaires that run the La Times, completely interjecting into their 1678 01:29:54,080 --> 01:30:04,760 Speaker 13: editorial boards and manipulating what's being written in them. 1679 01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,200 Speaker 3: To quote one of my favorite eighty sitcoms, what you 1680 01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:11,719 Speaker 3: talking about with us? I mean, where is she going 1681 01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,880 Speaker 3: with that? David? There were so many questions and so 1682 01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 3: many things that I could poke holes in that she 1683 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,519 Speaker 3: had to say. But I'll allow you to take that over. 1684 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:23,519 Speaker 2: Well, it's pretty rich of AOC who's part of the 1685 01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:27,560 Speaker 2: elitist party calling Trump and all of these folks in oligarchy. 1686 01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:29,800 Speaker 2: I mean, give me a break. That's what they're doing. 1687 01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,400 Speaker 2: Number one, But that's what they do. They always project. 1688 01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:34,360 Speaker 2: I mean, that's kind of their part of their playbook. 1689 01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,920 Speaker 2: Number two. Just on a super stylistic note, I really 1690 01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:42,320 Speaker 2: don't want to see AOC like kind of like lying 1691 01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,960 Speaker 2: down there on the pillow, kind of waxing poetic after 1692 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 2: a nap. I don't need I mean, stop, Gina, I 1693 01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:49,840 Speaker 2: don't want to see that. 1694 01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:56,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's so fundamental that democrats know so little 1695 01:30:57,120 --> 01:31:04,560 Speaker 1: about actual facts, especially elitists like AOC. The most foundational 1696 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:09,080 Speaker 1: principle of an oligarchy is you have to have centralized power. 1697 01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:13,639 Speaker 1: You can't have someone who's eliminating bureaucracies. And who's committed 1698 01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,799 Speaker 1: to give power back to the people, right, who's taking 1699 01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:22,080 Speaker 1: it away from the power brokers. You can't have that 1700 01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:28,040 Speaker 1: person be any sort of totalitarian leader. So it doesn't 1701 01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:31,760 Speaker 1: work to call him any of the things they call him. 1702 01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:34,080 Speaker 1: Basically just doesn't work to call Trump that. You can 1703 01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,880 Speaker 1: hate him all you like, and you can say, oh, 1704 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,439 Speaker 1: I'm really mad that he took money away from the 1705 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:42,760 Speaker 1: special interests that funded my campaign, Planned Parenthood, you can 1706 01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:46,639 Speaker 1: say that that's actually a fair accusation against President Trump. 1707 01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,080 Speaker 1: He is taking money and will probably continue to take 1708 01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:54,640 Speaker 1: money away from organizations like Planned Parenthood that have traditionally 1709 01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,960 Speaker 1: funded people like AOC. That's a fair accusation. But you 1710 01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 1: can't call him a kind of dictator or oligark are 1711 01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 1: any of those kinds of things unless he's willing to decentralize, 1712 01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:10,200 Speaker 1: unless he's willing to centralize power. And that's the fundamental 1713 01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:13,040 Speaker 1: flaw in anything she says that destroys all of her 1714 01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:15,759 Speaker 1: arguments and just makes her look either stupid or dishonest. 1715 01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:16,960 Speaker 1: Are both and probably both? 1716 01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,439 Speaker 3: Is the answer to you, I'm sorry she lost me 1717 01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:23,960 Speaker 3: an unelected billionaire. I was like, really, that's where you're 1718 01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:28,720 Speaker 3: going unelected billionaire. I beg to differ, and so do 1719 01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 3: a majority of Americans. But you know, hey, that took 1720 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 3: all the credibility away from me. So I'll just leave 1721 01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:35,840 Speaker 3: it there and we'll move on still to come here 1722 01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:39,040 Speaker 3: on American Sunrise. There is nothing like the love between 1723 01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:42,320 Speaker 3: the mom and her son. So ahead, how a military 1724 01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:45,320 Speaker 3: son surprised his mom for Christmas, We'll show it all 1725 01:32:45,360 --> 01:32:46,400 Speaker 3: to you coming out. 1726 01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:05,479 Speaker 1: Us.

It is time 1728 01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 1: now for our sunny side up and in the pan. Today. 1729 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:14,120 Speaker 1: A mom was given a very special gift this Christmas 1730 01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:17,479 Speaker 1: as her Air Force son surpriser and came home for 1731 01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 1: the holidays. There are no sweeter words to a mama 1732 01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:24,240 Speaker 1: than home for the holidays. Airman Logan Rivera has been 1733 01:33:24,280 --> 01:33:27,280 Speaker 1: stationed out in California since January. His mom was worried 1734 01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:29,639 Speaker 1: she wouldn't get to spend the holiday with her son. 1735 01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,599 Speaker 1: Jessica Rivera thought she was going on a Georgia radio 1736 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:36,479 Speaker 1: station to thank listeners for signing Christmas cards for her son, 1737 01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:38,040 Speaker 1: and then this happened. 1738 01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,200 Speaker 2: You certainly have a lot of Christmas cards that fish 1739 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:45,599 Speaker 2: listeners have had the privilege of signing and praying for him, 1740 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:47,559 Speaker 2: as they've been signing for him as well. 1741 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:49,679 Speaker 1: So you're gonna add those into a big box. 1742 01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:52,519 Speaker 3: And I guess the catch here is just how to 1743 01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:53,920 Speaker 3: get them to him on time? 1744 01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:56,559 Speaker 2: Yes, you know, yeah, it is the cash because Christmas 1745 01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:59,160 Speaker 2: is coming up. Wouldn't it be great if you could 1746 01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:00,559 Speaker 2: handle it for them to him? 1747 01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:05,559 Speaker 1: It would? Is he not going to be home for Christmas? Oh? 1748 01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:11,559 Speaker 11: Oh no, this is your first christmasnas without him? 1749 01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:35,800 Speaker 2: Turn around? Yeah, I can't, no, no, take it away? Yeah, jee, 1750 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:37,599 Speaker 2: I'd gotten rightly. 1751 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:42,160 Speaker 1: So you know, my son Jack was away for six 1752 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,800 Speaker 1: months working on Bernie Mourno's campaign for us and and 1753 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:46,799 Speaker 1: I didn't see him for six months is the longest 1754 01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:50,559 Speaker 1: time I've ever not seen him. And uh, having him 1755 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,000 Speaker 1: home this Christmas, I just can't even tell you. Having 1756 01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:55,560 Speaker 1: all of them home, all five of mine home, but 1757 01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:57,920 Speaker 1: especially him, just since he was gone for six months 1758 01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:00,200 Speaker 1: and that's such a long time for a mom to 1759 01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:02,280 Speaker 1: be away from her sign and I can't even imagine 1760 01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:06,160 Speaker 1: if he were serving in a dangerous capacity or something. 1761 01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:08,040 Speaker 1: I just I don't know how parents do it. I'm 1762 01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 1: so odd by families who commit to this level of service. David. 1763 01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt about it.
