1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise Early Edition, Trump the Peacemaker after

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: speaking with Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelenski. The

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: peace talks process between Russia and Ukraine is on. And

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: one of the catalysts for all of this was Secretary

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: of Defense Pete Hegseth telling NATO that Ukraine would likely

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: never join the group and would have to give up

7
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: hopes to gain its pre twenty fourteen borders. More roadblocks

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: have been cleared for members of President Trump's cabinet.

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 2: Tulci Gabbard is.

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: Confirmed as new Director of National Intelligence, and Robert F.

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior's hja's secretary nomination is out of committee and

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: headed for the Senate floor. Main Street and Wall Street

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: get the bad news on inflation. It's spiked higher than

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: expected in the last month of the Biden presidency. Another

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: inflation report is due out later this morning. And now

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: even Elon Musk is explaining how his DOGE team can

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: provide key inflation relief. It's a formula you first heard

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: about on this program. American Sunrise Early Edition starts now.

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: Good morning, America. Welcome to American Sunrise.

20
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,440

Speaker 4: We have breaking news to share with you politics. President

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 4: Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

Speaker 3: We've got your covered.

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 5: We have to protect the American family now.

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: The American dream is still alive. I'm David Brodie, I'm Terrence,

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: and I'm doctor Tina. Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition.

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Thanks for doctor g David Brody and Terrence doing a

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: guest appearance helped me out.

30
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: Boy, what a great lead and that was for me.

31
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: I'll do it.

32
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: I'll take it any day. But again, I am Jake Noveck.

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: This is American Sunrise Early Edition. Thank you so much

34
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: for joining us on a Thursday. We're teeing it up

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: for American centris. I call that the big show at

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: eight am. Joining me now is Edward and Nerrett. He

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: is of the Neuret files on Subsack, which everyone must

38
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: check out. And Edward, let's talk about all the main

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: stories today, and I want to start with the positive

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: because it does look like we have finally taken that

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: key first step in a peace process between Russia and Ukraine,

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: thanks to President Trump picking up the phone and making

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: some phone calls and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who talked

44
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: about basically telling Ukraine, hey, folks, you're not joining NATO.

45
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: We're stopping things right now. So I'm I'm optimistic about this.

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: How about you?

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 6: So?

48
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 5: Am? I?

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 7: I mean, look, this is way past to overdue. And

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 7: when I hear when the American people hear something like this,

51
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 7: I think the first reaction they're going to have is

52
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 7: how many hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian boys

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 7: had to die for us to get to this end result?

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 7: How many billions of dollars did the Europeans of the

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 7: Americans have to fork up for a result that could

56
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 7: have happened two years ago. I mean, this could have

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 7: gone on. This could have happened two years ago, and

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 7: this can go on for another four years, and the

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 7: result is going to be the same. Ukraine is never

60
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 7: going to defeat Russia.

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: They never were.

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 7: They're now fighting over preparably inches of territory. And the

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 7: reality is, in the end, Ukraine was never going to

64
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 7: be allowed to join NATO and realistically they were going

65
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 7: to have to give up some territory to the Russians.

66
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 7: That doesn't mean we want them to. I mean You're

67
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 7: going to see a reaction here in the media in

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 7: the next couple of days that Trump is caving to

69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 7: Putin and he's giving into Putin's demands. And the response

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 7: to that is, well, what else are you going to

71
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 7: do with the nuclear super You have a country with

72
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 7: over three thousand nuclear weapons and they are on Europe's border,

73
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 7: and so yes, there has to be some sort of

74
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 7: negotiation here to see an end to this war. I

75
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 7: think President Trump understands that, and part of that I'm

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 7: sorry for the Ukrainians, does include that they will never

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 7: be in NATO. And this is a start contrast from

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 7: what we saw under Joe Biden and the delusional neocons

79
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 7: in his administration, who honestly wanted the end goal of

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 7: deposing Vladimir Putin. They wanted regime change in Russia, and

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 7: they were guided by these false, idealistic beliefs that they

82
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 7: were going to able to keep Ukraine's territory intact and

83
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 7: that they were somehow going to defeat Vladimir Putin. It

84
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 7: was a lie then, it was a lie three years ago,

85
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 7: and it's a lie now. And thankfully President Trump sees

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 7: that and is going.

87
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 5: To put a quick end to this.

88
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I hope he does this.

89
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what's holding him back now, especially since

90
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: President Trump is in office. But now, Tally Bennett, who

91
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: was the Prime Minister of Israel very briefly when this

92
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: conflict started, had a peace steal all hammered out and frankly,

93
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: the Biden team nixed it.

94
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: He hemmed and hawd when he.

95
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Was asked about it a second and a third time

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: because you know why, he didn't want to anger Joe Biden,

97
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: who was then in the White House. But maybe we'll

98
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: get the full story now, because to me, that is

99
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: the biggest scandal. There was actually a deal on the

100
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: table years ago, and how many lives could have been saved.

101
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: Just an atrocity.

102
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: Really, all right, Eduardo, Let's now play a fun game.

103
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: I like to call it clueless mainstream media. And here's

104
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: our edition of the game today. Look at this headline

105
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: from USA Today. This makes me laugh. Five ways Elon

106
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: Musk is working to dismantle the federal government. Now, I

107
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: promise you the headline writer at USA Today doesn't get

108
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: the fact that more than half of the readers actually

109
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: look at that headline as a positive. They wrote that

110
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: headline Edwardo thinking this would be a scare tactic, make

111
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: something angry, make the people angry. So at Wardo, you know,

112
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that's exactly the way I think most

113
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: Americans are looking at this.

114
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: They the thumbs up. Someone needs to knock on the

115
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: clueless heads of the USA today.

116
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 5: Well, I love this, Okay.

117
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 7: So the US government last year spent nearly eight trillion dollars.

118
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 7: Five years before that, before COVID, it was around three trillions.

119
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 7: So according to USA Today, all of these Democrats, everybody

120
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 7: in the media, if we don't spend more than eight

121
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 7: trillion dollars, anything less than that, I mean, if we

122
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 7: just say, hey, can we go back to spending two, three,

123
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 7: four or five years ago, You're destroying democracy. You're dismantling

124
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 7: the United States Constitution and everything about our government. It's

125
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 7: completely absurd. The American people see this. That's why they

126
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 7: elected Donald Trump. And for all these claims, nobody elected

127
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 7: Elon Musk. Nobody elected Elon Musk. Actually a lot of

128
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 7: US Trump voters.

129
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: Did you know?

130
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 7: Trump was very transparent about bringing Elon Musk with him

131
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 7: on the campaign trail, saying very clearly, if I'm elected,

132
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 7: I'm going to appoint Elon to take a look at

133
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 7: some of the waste and abuse in our government, and.

134
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 5: That is exactly what he's doing.

135
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 7: I also find that line of commentary funny because this

136
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 7: is the same party, the Democrats, who are defending these nameless,

137
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 7: faceless bureaucrats who have been in Washington for decades, who

138
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 7: do these things that many of us don't aren't even

139
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 7: aware of.

140
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 5: They give out these contracts, they do these rule changes

141
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 5: in the department.

142
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 7: They really act unilaterally separate of the executive and the

143
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 7: legislative brands. So who elected those people? I mean, the

144
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 7: whole thing is absurd. Also when you consider the fact

145
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 7: that Joe Biden was running, was not even running this country,

146
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 7: that he had a cabal of people like Jake Sullivan

147
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 7: and Anthony Blinkin running things. I mean, did anybody elect

148
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 7: those two? So this whole thing here is a reaction

149
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 7: over the fact that Elon Musk is gutting the Democrat

150
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 7: slush fund. What do I mean by that most federal spending,

151
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 7: that is, to some of these silly programs overseas or

152
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 7: even domestically. I mean, in other words, take aside Social Security, Medicare,

153
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 7: and defense spending.

154
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: Most other spending is really to Democrat causes. If millions

155
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: and millions and billions of.

156
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 7: Dollars of US tax payer money was going to conservative

157
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 7: causes overseas, or was going to conservative domestic causes in

158
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 7: different states, you can be assured that the Democrats would

159
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 7: have tried to put a stop to.

160
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 5: This years ago.

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 7: The reason why they are getting so bent out of

162
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 7: shape about it is because their donors, their friends, in

163
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 7: some cases, their spouses. In Washington, some of these members

164
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 7: of Congress benefit from these so called nonprofits, these fake

165
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 7: charities that get millions and millions of dollars from the government.

166
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 7: They pay their board members upwards of two three four

167
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars a year.

168
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 5: I'm not making this up.

169
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 7: You can look this up and there's an entire employment

170
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 7: group in Washington that is based on these fake five

171
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 7: oh one c three charities, these nonprofits that keep all

172
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 7: of these people employed. And finally, after thirty years, someone

173
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 7: is coming to town and saying, the gravy train is over.

174
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 7: You're not going to live these luxury lives off the

175
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 7: American taxpayer. We're putting a stop to it. And honestly,

176
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 7: it's amazing to see and what I hope to see.

177
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 7: So you're going to be distracted out there in the

178
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 7: media by these small line item things. I think it's

179
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 7: great that Elon is pointing it out, but the real

180
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 7: fraud to me could be in Medicare and Social Security.

181
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 7: And I'm not talking about Americans getting their paychecks, but

182
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 7: what Elon is saying here and what I know to

183
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 7: be true, at least from my experience here in South

184
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 7: Florida Worth, I like to say we're the fraud capital

185
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 7: of America.

186
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 5: In many ways, there's a lot of healthcare fraud down here.

187
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 7: If he's able to find in Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security,

188
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 7: these benefit programs, fraudulent people using dead Americans to claim

189
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 7: these benefits, some of these benefits going overseas, which he

190
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 7: has said. He says he thinks there's upwards of hundreds

191
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 7: of billions of dollars a year in these programs being defrauded,

192
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 7: and it makes sense to me.

193
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 5: I mean, again, as.

194
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 7: I said at the top, I don't know how you

195
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 7: go from spending three to four trillion a year five

196
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 7: years ago to now more than double that, and the

197
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 7: fact that we can't say anything about that without being

198
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 7: accused of dismantling democracy.

199
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 5: It is laughable, and it shows you that there really

200
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: is no organized resistance to this.

201
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 7: The Democrats can huinh outside of these agencies all they want,

202
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 7: but they're losing and they know it.

203
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

204
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: You know, I've always felt like Medicare and Medicaid can

205
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: make a bumper sticker that says dead Americans.

206
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: They're not just for election day anymore.

207
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: All right, Eduardo, we got some more bad news about

208
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: inflation yesterday. The last month of the Biden presidency saw

209
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: inflation spike quite a bit more than expected. But you know,

210
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: Doge can help turn this around because government spending is

211
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: the key driver. Some people say it's the only driver,

212
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: but it's everyone agrees it's the key driver of inflation.

213
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: So if Doge is able to do even a little

214
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: bit of what you talked about, that could be something

215
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 1: that turns inflation around very quickly. I wonder if the

216
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: American people understand that. Are we doing a good enough

217
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: job of explaining that.

218
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 7: I think Elon and President Trump have done a good

219
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 7: job of explaining that they should continue to push that

220
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 7: they should.

221
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 5: Continue to attack anyone resisting this movement.

222
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 7: As someone who wants to keep prices high, and they

223
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 7: should say very plainly, because, as you said, this is

224
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 7: exactly the reason why we have the inflation and why

225
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 7: we had the very high eight nine percent inflation that we.

226
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 5: Did under Biden.

227
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 7: It's because US government printed trillions and trillions of dollars

228
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 7: in money in a very short year span. The MP

229
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 7: two money supply, which is a measure of cash and

230
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 7: certain US dollars in circulation at one point in the

231
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 7: Biden presidency, increased by forty percent. So the amount of

232
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 7: dollars in circulation right now, thanks to his presidency, is

233
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 7: far greater than it was before.

234
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 5: And that's from.

235
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 7: Again, these government programs that we're told are necessary. We're

236
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 7: told they need to keep our economy afloat. So if

237
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 7: they are able to cut that, that will be one

238
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 7: area of the inflation. And I think the other thing

239
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 7: we're seeing President Trump do is with regards to oil,

240
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 7: he's trying to get the Saudis and our domestic suppliers

241
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 7: to pump more TBD on whether they will actually do that,

242
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 7: but I think one thing we're seeing, at least internationally

243
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 7: with his negotiations with Venezuela, which is now accepting these

244
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 7: migrant flights back to their country, which is sort of

245
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 7: a surprise to the rest of it. I mean, most

246
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 7: people did not think Venezuela was going to accept these migrants,

247
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 7: and I think part of the negotiating employe there from

248
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 7: Trump could be Listen, you accept these migrants, will loosen

249
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 7: some of the sanctions you get pumping on oil. It'll

250
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 7: help your economy and it'll help us in terms of

251
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 7: lowering the cost of fuel, which if that comes down,

252
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 7: then basically every single good on the market which is

253
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 7: transported from oil will also come.

254
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 5: Down as well.

255
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 7: So I think that's part of the plan here. It'll

256
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 7: take a little while to happen. And frankly, anyone criticizing

257
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 7: Trump for saying, oh, you were elected to bring prices down,

258
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 7: and here it's six weeks into your administration.

259
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 5: You haven't done that, I mean, that's ridiculous.

260
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 7: Even the most diehard Trump supporters know that it's going

261
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 7: to take a while to really see the effects of

262
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 7: turning the economy around.

263
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 5: It could take a year, and so I think President

264
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 5: Trump is on the.

265
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 7: Right track and we'll just have to see how things

266
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 7: continue to play out.

267
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: Well, we got to win yesterday because the piece talks discussion.

268
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: Just beeen rushing the Ukraine drove oil prices down overnight.

269
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: In this morning, we're back down to the seventy dollars

270
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: a barrel level. So there's that.

271
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: Hey, I only have about a minute left, but can

272
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: you tell me.

273
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: I know that you're a big supporter of Tulci Gabbert

274
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: and she was confirmed as d and I can you

275
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: talk about a little bit of some of the objections

276
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: that patriots I'm not talking about the haters address. I

277
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: mean again, I know you only have a minute, but

278
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: some of the objections that some patriots might have about

279
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: her and address those.

280
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 7: Tulsi, as everybody knows, used to be a Democrat, and

281
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 7: so she's got some views on domestic issues and on

282
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,119
Speaker 7: the world, on foreign policy that differ from the traditional

283
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 7: Republican way of thinking. And so I understand that if

284
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 7: there's a policy objection, they disagree with her what I

285
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 7: object to, And like you said, it's the haters is

286
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 7: they use those policy different disagreements to attack her character

287
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 7: and I'm glad that those efforts failed. I know Tulsi well.

288
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 7: She is an honest broker. She's one of the kindest

289
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 7: and most honest people I worked with. She always cared

290
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 7: about finding the truth and getting to the truth, and

291
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 7: I think that will be pivotal in her role as

292
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 7: Director of National Intelligence. And for people who are a

293
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 7: little concerned, who say, well, I don't like her.

294
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 5: View on this issue or this issue. She's not in

295
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 5: a policy making role.

296
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 7: Her job, and I've seen this firsthand she's capable of doing,

297
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 7: is to provide the president with accurate intelligence and an

298
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 7: assessment of the intelligence community. I believe she will do that.

299
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 7: I believe most importantly, she will help restore faith in

300
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 7: the intelligence community, which has been destroyed. They have destroyed

301
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 7: their own credibility over the last few years, and I

302
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 7: think someone like her, who is supported by both parties,

303
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 7: who is supported by a middle crowd of Americans, will

304
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 7: be able to do that in a nonpartisan way.

305
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: Well, the best way to reform the intelligent intelligence community

306
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: maybe just to get rid of the community part of it,

307
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: the lifelong members of an intelligence community. That's probably you know,

308
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: I've got no problem with spies, and I know it's necessary,

309
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: but to be a lifelong spy in a place like

310
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: the CIA is just a recipe for disaster.

311
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: Edward Nerritt.

312
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: He has the NERET files on substack check out check

313
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: him out on x He's great.

314
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us, Jake, thanks so much.

315
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, Senator John Fetterman is starting to

316
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: seem like false advertising.

317
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: Hold on to your hoodie, I'll explain.

318
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: And the leftist ideological takeover of the medical community is spreading.

319
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: But there's one hospital that takes the cake.

320
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: You'll get the particulars when American Sunrise Early Edition comes

321
00:13:44,160 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: right back. You're looking at Cincinnati, Ohio on the Ohio River.

322
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: And maybe the next time that we show a live.

323
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: Shot of Cincinnati, I'll sing the We'll get the We'll

324
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 2: get the music from WKRP in Cincinnati, and I will

325
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: hit some of those notes. It's actually a great song.

326
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: All right. Welcome back everyone to American Sunrise Early Edition,

327
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: especially to all of you who are following us in

328
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: the chat and joining in the chat on Getter and Rumble.

329
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: Thanks for your comments.

330
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: By the way, Hey, is Senator John Fetterman just playing

331
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: bait and switch with US author and social media political

332
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: commentator Mike Cernovich.

333
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: Sure thinks so.

334
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: He actually never thought he was anything other than bait

335
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: and switch and in light of how Fvetterman just voted

336
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: on the Tulsi Gabbard confirmation, he voted no.

337
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: Here's what he has to say.

338
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: Cernovich wrote this, John Fetterman's no on Tulsi Gabbard was

339
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: a blessing. Democrats go on TV say something normal and

340
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: people get excited for unity and bipartisanship. John tester got

341
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: away with this for almost twenty years. There's no such

342
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: thing as a min Democrat. You know, He's got a point.

343
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: I think there used to be. But what really really

344
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: drives me crazy, folks, is the amount of popularity, money,

345
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: and power that would go to a truly moderate Democrat

346
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: if there really were one out there.

347
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: I just don't understand, even if it was just for

348
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: self serving, selfish.

349
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: Reasons, why we don't have more or any real moderate Democrats.

350
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: Is a big, big win and a big piece of

351
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: the pie just waiting for them, but they won't take it.

352
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: It's insanity, all right. Speaking of insanity, woke.

353
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: Politics have invaded med schools and hospitals across the country.

354
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: But one expert just told Charlie Kirk that the Cleveland

355
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: Hellenic takes the cake.

356
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: Check it out and.

357
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,479
Speaker 6: Is Cleveland clinic the wokest hospital in America. Will your thoughts.

358
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 8: Well, they very well well be. They seem to have

359
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 8: integrated wokeness into across the entire spectrum of activities from

360
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 8: integrating in DDI and everything they do. They're currently being

361
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 8: sued for discriminating against patients. This isn't just discriminating and

362
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 8: against hiring and promotion, which is normally what we think

363
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 8: about when we think about DEI. This is about discriminating

364
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 8: in how they apply medicines and treatment to patients, which

365
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 8: is about the most worst thing you could possibly think

366
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 8: of when you think of horror stories of DEI. They've

367
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 8: also integrated net zero pledges across their entire operations. This

368
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 8: raises costs for consumers. They've set some of the most

369
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 8: aggressive net zero achievements I've ever ever seen. There's no

370
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 8: way to do that with modern technology, especially with hospitals,

371
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 8: almost everything is plastic. What that really means is that

372
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 8: they're paying bribes things called carbon credits that they didn't

373
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 8: have to pass along those those fees to consumers. And then, lastly,

374
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 8: and perhaps the most disturbing thing, is that they have

375
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 8: been leading the way and providing so called transgender care,

376
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 8: gender affirmative care to children. What that really means is

377
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 8: general immutilation on kids under the age of eighteen, and

378
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 8: they've really.

379
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 5: Been charging on that.

380
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 8: And even after the passage of the Safe Act in Ohio,

381
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 8: where they're supposed to be they're supposed to be banned,

382
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 8: they've continued to consult with children around their gender issues

383
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 8: or their gender just for you. So it seems that

384
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 8: they are still continuing to quietly push this far left

385
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 8: transgender propaganda that harms children.

386
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 6: Look, the hospital cartels generally are one of the greatest

387
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 6: undiagnosed problems in the country. So help me understand this.

388
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 6: So the Cleveland clinic, why are they so interested in

389
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 6: the trans propaganda, performing child sex changes prioritizing race based care?

390
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 2: What is it?

391
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 6: Is it an ideological issue? Please help me understand.

392
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 8: That's a great question, and I wish I knew the

393
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 8: answer to that. I have my suspicions after what we've

394
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 8: seen out of the Department of Government Efficiency, that a

395
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 8: lot of this might just be straight up being paid

396
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 8: for by the federal government, incentivized by funding from the HHS.

397
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 8: You know, radicals within a lot of these government agencies

398
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 8: have been pushing this stuff, but that doesn't let Cleveland

399
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 8: Clinic off the hook. Their director of DEI has said

400
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 8: that they integrate DEI into literally every single thing that

401
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 8: they do. So that's not just again hiring promotion. That's

402
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 8: in how they treat patients based on their skin color,

403
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 8: and that includes, you know, pushing transgender propaganda on children.

404
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 8: So it's sort of a chicken of the egg problem.

405
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 8: It probably came partially because it's being incentivized by the

406
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 8: federal government, but then Cleveland Clinic has become taken over

407
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 8: by true believers of this radical, far left, destructive ideology.

408
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: Fascinating discussion, by the way, A lot more on this.

409
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show airs every Monday through Friday right

410
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: here on REV at noon Eastern time. All right, now

411
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: to that impending deadline for Ramas, two days to go

412
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: before President Trump's release all the hostages by noon Saturday

413
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: or else runs out. Now, Ramas just said that they're

414
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: going to return the hostages that they plan to a.

415
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 2: Few days ago on Saturday.

416
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: They're not going to release all of them on Saturday,

417
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: so you know, it's now Israel and President Trump's move.

418
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: But anyway, Steve Whitkoff, the Middle East envoy, explain how

419
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: the Trump team sees Ramas and Gaza.

420
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 9: Check it out, US is a terrorist organization and that

421
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 9: they can't be allowed to be a part of the

422
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 9: government in Gaza. It's an unhealthy situation and they need

423
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 9: to go. And the President said all that we all

424
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 9: need to know, which is Saturday twelve o'clock. He expects

425
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 9: that it be something different occurring, and if it's not,

426
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 9: then there's going to be a big problems.

427
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: Are all right, Steve Wickoff, Camas is a terrorist organization.

428
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: It cannot be allowed to exist and run things in Gaza,

429
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: as simple as that, all right?

430
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: Coming up, Big Tech is sounding.

431
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: The alarm about our power grid. Hey, welcome to the party, pal.

432
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: That's been a concern for many of us in America

433
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: for decades. But will someone listen now that the big rich,

434
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: big tech people are worried about it?

435
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: I hope.

436
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: And hey, the Daytona five hundred is this weekend. But

437
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: that great American tradition is going to be at least

438
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: somewhat marred in my mind.

439
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: I'll explain why when.

440
00:19:50,800 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: American Sunrise early edition drives right back, Well, that is a.

441
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: Santa Monica Peer. I've only been there like a couple

442
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: of times.

443
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: But even before the control and told me where it was,

444
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: I knew that was a Santa Monica Peer, a fun

445
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: place to go. I don't think I got too damaged.

446
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: In the fire. They were disrupted, so that's a good result. Hey,

447
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: let's take a look at what the markets are going

448
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: to open today and check this out because you learned

449
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: this yesterday. Look at that flat as a pancake, and that's.

450
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: Because they're waiting on another inflation report that's gonna come

451
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: out at a thirty And just like I told you yesterday,

452
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: the markets are going to move based on that inflation report.

453
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: So they're just waiting there, keeping their powder dry.

454
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: When the inflation report came out yesterday, let's talk about it,

455
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: because it was bad. It came out again showing as

456
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: we talked about a few minutes ago, bide inflation, not Bidenomics,

457
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: bide inflation spiked in his last month as president, and

458
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: the markets shot down down pretty sharply on that news.

459
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: Ended up closing mixed.

460
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: Not such a bad day yesterday at all at the

461
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: end of four hundred points down immediately as soon as

462
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: that number came out now. As I've been saying for

463
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: a long time on this program, a way to really

464
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: the best way to reduce inflation is to cut government

465
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: spending and waste and ras.

466
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: Brian Glenn got to ask.

467
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: A question about waste to Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt yesterday

468
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: and she had some massive numbers to talk about with him.

469
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: Check this out, Brian, Yes, I want to go back

470
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: to dog just for a second.

471
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 10: Earlier, the subcommittee, headed by a chairman Martin Taylor green

472
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 10: Hurt and her staff discovered two point seven trillion dollars

473
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 10: in improper payments which medicare medicaid overseas.

474
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: To people who should not have gotten it.

475
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 10: Some of this room might have missed that press conference.

476
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 10: Can you elaborate on what the president is.

477
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: Thinking at this point?

478
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 11: Well, again, that's another example. There's a very long list

479
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 11: of the fraud, waste, and abuse that DOGE is identifying

480
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 11: on a daily basis. Elon Musks also talked about yesterday

481
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 11: about Social Security payments that are going out the door

482
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 11: for people who are no longer with us. Unfortunately, I

483
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 11: would say that is certainly a fraud. There's also a

484
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 11: lot of contracts they've identified that just as a hypothetical example,

485
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 11: are a million bucks, but only five hundred thousand went

486
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 11: out the door, So where's the rest of that cash?

487
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 11: And so that's the thing. Those are the things that

488
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 11: Doge is working on every single day. And I would

489
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 11: just remind everybody in this room, this is what President

490
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 11: Trump campaigned on doing. He's delivering on a promise that

491
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 11: seventy seven million people elected him to do.

492
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, two point seven trillion dollars would be a savings.

493
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: That would be a good kind of earthquake for the

494
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: American economy. I understand this isn't just about cleaning up government.

495
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: It really helps our economy and not to have all

496
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: this government waste.

497
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: It's not just the waste.

498
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: When government's spending a lot, they drive up prices for

499
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: everyone else because the market gets a payer that's willing

500
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: to pay anything, so they jack.

501
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: Up the prices for the rest of us. A lot of.

502
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: Economics one on one on this show, and I hope

503
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 1: we do it in a way that's more interesting than

504
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: when you were in high school.

505
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: All Right, The Google geeks are in warning mode now.

506
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: They say the US is facing a power capacity crisis

507
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: as the tech sector races against China. To achieve dominance

508
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: and artificial intelligence. See AI takes a lot of power.

509
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: So one of the things that they're doing at places

510
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: like Google and Microsoft is contracting with power companies to

511
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: build micro nuclear reactors just for themselves, you know. And

512
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that, especially especially if

513
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: when they start using these nuclear reactors and there isn't

514
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: any major terrible effect, the American public can come out

515
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: of this hypnosis that's been in for forty years about

516
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: the oversized danger and hysteria about nuclear reactors. They are

517
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: much safer than they ever were. Yes, we've had some

518
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: incidents in this country, they've been incredibly minor when you

519
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: think about how long we've been using these reactors. We

520
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: need them. This is clean energy. We absolutely have to

521
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: have them, and hopefully this will start that trend.

522
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 2: So thank you Google geeks. You are now finally useful

523
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 2: to someone.

524
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: All Right, It seems like every day another major US

525
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: corporation is announcing sweeping layoffs. The latest company on that

526
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: list is oil giant Chevron. It's starting the process of

527
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: laying off about eight thousand workers. That's a lot, but

528
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: they may find new jobs those people fast if President

529
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: Trump is successful in opening up more opportunities for the

530
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: US oil and the fracking companies. So maybe this will

531
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: only be a temporary job lost for these people.

532
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 6: You know.

533
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Chevron told employees though, it needs to cut something like

534
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: two to three billion dollars in their cost and they

535
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: told their employees in an eternal town hall the other

536
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: day that the buyout process is going to start and

537
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: last than through April or May. Again two to three

538
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: billion dollars they need to cut. So this may be

539
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: just a Chevron accounting problem and not an oil industry problem,

540
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: but we'll see. And there's also an update on the

541
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: idea that President Trump had and floated last week about

542
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: how Ukraine can at least begin to pay back the

543
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: United States for all the money and the weapons that

544
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: we've sent them. It is President Trump's plan to get

545
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: some of those rare earths, so that is the stuff

546
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: that comes out of the ground that you need to make,

547
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: most importantly electric vehicle batteries, smartphone batteries, things like that.

548
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: And President Trump says a deal where five hundred million

549
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: dollars has been made that will bring to the US

550
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: those key rare earths from Ukraine. But this isn't just

551
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: about saving money and helping our economy. It's also about

552
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: keeping those rare earths out of the hands of the

553
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: Chinese who are trying to corner and have been trying

554
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: to corner the market on that for a long time.

555
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: All Right, control room, let's hit the road.

556
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I really want to start them Moving America segment

557
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: today with a good news story, and we got one,

558
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: a literal move to America. Moving America moved to America.

559
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: Japanese truck maker Isuzu is planning to move a significant

560
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: amount of its production to the US to avoid President

561
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: Trump's tariffs set to go in place next month. It's

562
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: not clear how many jobs that will bring to our shores,

563
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: but we will keep you posted. This is how it's

564
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: kind of supposed to work. Although I think President Trump

565
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: is looking for a political result more than an economic result,

566
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: but we'll take it. You're gonna sell a lot of

567
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: product in this country, and you can build the factory here.

568
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: Then you should as simple as that. All right.

569
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Used car prices continued to trend higher in January. We

570
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: just found this out. There was a jump in used

571
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: car prices since May twenty twenty three. That's when they

572
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: started to go up. The prices popped two point two

573
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: percent higher in January alone, and they were up one

574
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: percent from January of twenty twenty three, so a big jump. Meanwhile,

575
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: new car prices were flat in January, and they were

576
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: actually down zero point three percent from a year ago.

577
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: Hey, this is about supply and demand. Supplies of used

578
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: cars are down and new car supplies are up. This

579
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 2: isn't that complicated. That's what happens. Supply and demand and

580
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 2: used car supplies went down to the prices went up.

581
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: Simple as that. All right, here's a trend though that

582
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: bothers me a lot more.

583
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: Negative equity for car owners is now at a record

584
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: sixty four hundred and fifty eight dollars, and seven and

585
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: a half percent of all owners of cars have a

586
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: fifteen percent underwater situation with their cars.

587
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 6: That's what.

588
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what negative equity is. If you're

589
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: not sure what that means.

590
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: That means when you owe more on the car you're

591
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: paying off than it's worth. If you tried to sell it,

592
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: it wouldn't cover what you still owe in the payments.

593
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: Negative equity for a car is something that happens, especially

594
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: in the later years of your car Loan, but is

595
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: going through the roof here in America. And it disturbs

596
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 1: me because you might remember, being underwater on your house

597
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: was one of the catalysts of the big Great Recession

598
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine.

599
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: So it really disturbs me. Hopefully this trend will reverse

600
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: under President Trump. All right, call me a purist, but

601
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: this may be the story that disturbs me the most

602
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: of all. This morning on Morning America, and it's this.

603
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: The all electric Chevy Blazer is going to be the

604
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: official pace car at the Daytona five hundred this Sunday.

605
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: Say it ain't snow, I listen. I know this is

606
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: something jam is paying big bucks for. But Eve's and

607
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: NASCAR just don't mix for me. How about you?

608
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: You can let me know on the chat and get

609
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: her and rumble.

610
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't love this nos to GM, but come on,

611
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: Daytona five hundred and all electric vehicle pace card.

612
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: Give me break?

613
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 9: All right?

614
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: Coming up? Is peace coming soon to Russia and Ukraine.

615
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: President Trump took an important step in that process, it seems,

616
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: will discuss the chances of all this. And while some

617
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: federal judges continue to try to block President Trump's lawful powers.

618
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: Who the heck are some of these black robe guys anyway?

619
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition is coming right back. It's Thursday,

620
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: February thirteenth. Here are some of this morning's top stories.

621
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: Trump the peacemaker after speaking with Russian President Putin and

622
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Zelenski, the peace talks process, that's what I'm

623
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: calling it between Russia and Ukraine is on. The White

624
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: House is starting to win now some of the court

625
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: rulings upholding President Trump's legal powers, but there are still

626
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: plenty of judges refusing to uphold the law. Who are

627
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: these guys anyway? Elon Musk is now explaining how his

628
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: DOGE team can provide key inflation relief. It's a formula

629
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: you first heard about on this program. Thanks for getting

630
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: on board, Elan, and hiding won't help you. Egypt's President

631
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: Cci is reportedly refusing to meet with President Trump if

632
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: the White House insists on discussing its hopes for Egypt

633
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: to take in.

634
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: Palestinians from Gaza. Yes, that's how much Egypt does not

635
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: want these people unless they get paid for it. That is.

636
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition continues now Welcome back to American

637
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: Sunrise Early edition. I'm Jake Novak. This is Thursday, February thirteenth.

638
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: I checked again, by the way, so I'm feeling very

639
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: confident about that.

640
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us.

641
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: And again, thank you for joining us and participating in

642
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: our chat on Getter and Rumble. I do look at it,

643
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: I do participate, you can check, and I really appreciate it. Hey,

644
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: President Trump was working the fut yesterday. What a concept

645
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: with Vladimir Putin and Vladimir's vin Zelenski, and it sure

646
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: sounds like the beginning of a peace process was the result.

647
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: Can we make up a jingle to the tune of

648
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: its beginning to look a lot like Christmas and make

649
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: it about it's beginning to look a lot like a

650
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: peace process? No, okay, well it's in my mind anyway.

651
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: Independent investigative journalist Walter Kurt joins me. Now, Hey, Walter,

652
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm feeling optimistic. You know, I got the little jingles

653
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: in my head.

654
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: Am I am I going?

655
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: Am I getting ahead of my skis on this one?

656
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: To continue the winter analogy?

657
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 5: I really don't think so.

658
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 12: I mean, it seems to me that Trump has the

659
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 12: mission he's going to do what he promised. He's he's

660
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 12: going to see if he can get this peace deal done.

661
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 12: And what I found interesting was the the long report

662
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 12: that Trump put out from his true social about his

663
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 12: phone call with Putin. You know, he mentioned specifically and

664
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 12: he mentioned that he said that we're talking about visiting

665
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 12: each other's countries. I like this whole idea only mostly

666
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 12: because it's going to be very hilarious watching the Democrats

667
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 12: in the left try and figure out how to make

668
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 12: this a bad thing, you know, a peace deal, How

669
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 12: could this possibly be good? But it's exactly what he

670
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 12: said he was going to do. And I don't have

671
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 12: a doubt that, you know, Putin and Trump could figure

672
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 12: out how to work together. They figured out how to

673
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 12: work together last time. I think there's a lot more

674
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 12: trust and respect between the two of them. And I

675
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 12: also heard there's another bit on this that I heard

676
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 12: that the Zelenski phone call was much shorter and much

677
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 12: more to the point, and Zelenski says he's willing to

678
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 12: talk piece. So I think we're looking at a much

679
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 12: sooner piece deal than people think. I said, six months

680
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 12: from when the presidency started it maybe maybe it'll be

681
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 12: in the first one hundred days. I think that'd be great.

682
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take I'll take any reduction in that timeline. Hey, Walter,

683
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: this is my favorite headline of the day. Here it

684
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: is terrified staff left hysterical as well drilled doge nerds, storm,

685
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: hyper woke Department of Education. I just let I mean,

686
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: there's so many things in the headline. I like, Hey,

687
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: terror is the fear of being laid off from your

688
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: cushy government job.

689
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that's terror to them.

690
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: Terror to everyone else is having to spend an evening

691
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: with a bunch of important, self important federal workers.

692
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: It's happened to me. Believe me. That's the real terror. Okay.

693
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: It's a rare mix of arrogance and boredom when you

694
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: have to spend an evening with a few federal workers.

695
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: But all getting aside this discussion and having to deal

696
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: with federal workers who think that they have been put upon,

697
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, just doesn't work for me.

698
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 2: Walter.

699
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: Please tell me you know a little bit more about

700
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: the terror going on there, because I'm feeding off it.

701
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. Man.

702
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 12: Oh, it's incredible.

703
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen that headline.

704
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 12: That is a that is a glorious headline that really

705
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 12: really is. But it's not just in the Department of Education,

706
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,959
Speaker 12: though I've got lots of contacts in DC. My family

707
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 12: was private contractors when I was growing up, so I

708
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 12: know lots of people that still work in the agencies.

709
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 12: And I'll tell you they're all terrified. I mean they

710
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 12: are really stressed and worried about it. I had to

711
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 12: the funniest phone call just the other day. I was

712
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 12: talking with a source of mind and he said, you know,

713
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 12: it was the first day he had been back into

714
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 12: the office, and the attitude he said everyone, everyone was

715
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 12: so very tense. Said, they're all just we don't know

716
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 12: if we're going to get fired. We don't know if

717
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 12: we're going to make it. I mean, these people, they

718
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 12: haven't been to work in years, in years, I mean

719
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 12: they have been working from home and you know, enjoying

720
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 12: their nice, cushy salaries, sitting at their houses and in

721
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 12: their underwear, watching watching television while they work, and now

722
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 12: they're being forced to go back into the office and

723
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 12: younger people than them, that are better at them than

724
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 12: their jobs are telling them, what are you doing here?

725
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 12: And it's they have no idea how to handle it,

726
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 12: and it's really amazing. I've never seen anything like this,

727
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 12: you know.

728
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, they're not all sitting in their

729
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: underwear and lounging around. What a lot of them are

730
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: doing is running another business.

731
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: You have a.

732
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: Federal job where you can't get fired, so there's no

733
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: need to put any effort into that. So you have

734
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: the benefits you have even though it's you know, might

735
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: be a relatively small salary.

736
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: And I know so many federal workers in Maryland and

737
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 2: in Northern Virginia who have other businesses and why not.

738
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: That's what's also going on. It's not all of them,

739
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: but it's a lot of it. So they're not it's

740
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: not all about it's about lazy people. They're smart people

741
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: who took advantage of the system. But you know, if

742
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: you're thinking we're just laughing at people who are afraid

743
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 2: of losing their jobs, that's not what I'm doing here,

744
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: and that's not what Walter's doing here. What I'm doing

745
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: here is telling them welcome to the party. Pal.

746
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: Listen, I've worked in the television news media for a

747
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: long time. You work in this industry and many other

748
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: industries like it, like the auto industry every day, worrying

749
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: about layoffs every single day. That's the way it works

750
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: in most of the industries in America. Jobs aren't permanent

751
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: for the rest of us, and the fact that they

752
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: haven't ever experienced it is bad. It's worse that they

753
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: don't even know that. That is what the day to

754
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: day life is for many working Americans they have.

755
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 2: They don't even know that.

756
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: And they're supposed to the people representing us, all right,

757
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: we're not going to get anywhere.

758
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: Goo ahead, yeah, go ahead, that's right.

759
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 12: The one thing that I've heard from and this is

760
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 12: the attitude amongst government employees, the attitude amongst government employees,

761
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 12: it's my job. You can't tell me how to do it,

762
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 12: and it's my right to do it exactly how it's

763
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 12: always been done.

764
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: That's the attitude.

765
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 12: They have no belief that it's that it can be

766
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 12: taken from them, that they can be told how to

767
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 12: do it. They have no concept of that, and it

768
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 12: doesn't even exist to them. They've lived in a world

769
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 12: where they get to do exactly what they want to

770
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 12: do and it's their job and it's you know, you

771
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 12: will not tell them what to do with it. And

772
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 12: it's It really is amazing. They live in a completely

773
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 12: disconnected reality. They have never had to worry about time cards,

774
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 12: They've never had to worry about layoffs, They've never had

775
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 12: to worry about many of the things that's every American

776
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 12: across the country that has worked in you know, almost

777
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 12: any industry has had to worry about forever now. But

778
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 12: I think it's a great thing to hear that they

779
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 12: are all finally getting the wake up call they deserve.

780
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

781
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I was hoping for a career as

782
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: a pin setter, and then they made those automatic things

783
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: of the bowling alley and that was the end of me.

784
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: I just, hey, well, so we're not going to get

785
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: anywhere with this, with the layoffs that are needed, with

786
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: the cutting of the spending that's needed, if some of

787
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: these judges keep slowing down the process with their dubious rulings.

788
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: I know you've been posting about the conflicts of interests

789
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: that some of these judges have You have at it, Walter, give.

790
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 2: Us the ugly news.

791
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean some of these judges specifically, I think

792
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 12: the Rhode Island judge his wife is a USAID employee.

793
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 12: She was an administrator in usaid, how is that not

794
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 12: a conflict of interest? And if further than that, all

795
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 12: of these people, there's some great reports have been coming out.

796
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 12: They show that these all of these judges are working

797
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 12: together and that on December nineteenth, there was a coalition

798
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 12: of groups formed together to fight against the Trump agenda

799
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 12: coming up. And they worked with all of these different

800
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 12: federal unions. They went with all the federal different work unions.

801
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 12: They all worked together. They all set up a coalition.

802
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 12: This is underneath Mark Elias and Normalizen. They built this

803
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 12: coalition together so that they could specifically start targeting the

804
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 12: Trump agenda on day one. And that's why on the

805
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 12: very first day that Trump was in office, January twentieth,

806
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 12: while he was being sworn in, they were already filing lawsuits.

807
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 12: There's been three lawsuits filed every single day since Trump

808
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 12: took office. And you know, a lot of these rulings

809
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 12: are completely and totally unconstitutional and they know it. The

810
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 12: question is how long are we going to let it go?

811
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 12: Because you know, we can't have district courts across the country,

812
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 12: there's six hundred and eighty of them.

813
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: They can't.

814
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 12: We can't just let them shop around and continuously push

815
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 12: the agendants, try and stop the agenda every single day.

816
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 12: So hopefully we see some sort of reaction from the

817
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 12: from the higher courts, because this stuff is going to

818
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 12: go on forever if they don't, if they really don't

819
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 12: check it soon.

820
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, listen, you mentioned something in that and

821
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: part of the answer federal unions. Federal worker unions FDR,

822
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: the biggest expansionist in the history of the American government,

823
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: was vehemently opposed and blocked federal workers from unionizing because

824
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: he knew that that we lead to these kinds of disasters.

825
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: The only reason why we have them is that JFK,

826
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: coming off a very very close election, was pressured into

827
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: finally allowing it, and they have created such mayhem and

828
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: they are even to this day. I don't think JFK

829
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: did that happily, and it was the biggest mistake of

830
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: his presidency, even bigger than some of his other problems.

831
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 12: Hey, Walter, finally we may have a problem good the Department.

832
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 12: All these unions. The worst part about it is these

833
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 12: public unions they support Democrat causes everywhere, So it's your

834
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 12: federal tax dollars are actually going to support Democrat causes,

835
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 12: they donate to Democrat campaigns, they support them in the

836
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 12: in the polls, they support them on the ground. I mean,

837
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 12: it's it really is. It's a it's a union between

838
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 12: the Democratic Party and the UNI in the in these

839
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 12: federal worker unions that have been like that for decades.

840
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 12: It's it's a huge problem, and I hope that this

841
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 12: Doge situation really does start to curtail some of that power.

842
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: FDR.

843
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: FDR was against them, I mean on a case close.

844
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: All right, finally, Walter, let's get back to international affairs here.

845
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: We may have a problem with Egypt right now. President CC,

846
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: who is the military dictator of Egypt, is actually going

847
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: to bite looks like the hand that feeds him and

848
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: refuse to meet with President Trump if the guys the

849
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: relocation idea is even discussed. I'm sorry, but I love

850
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: my little banner about this, my little saying about this.

851
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: C see you later, CEC. I mean, honestly, we give

852
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 2: them a lot of money.

853
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: And one little thing I'll add here, Egypt has been

854
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: taking in some refugees from Gaza. If they pay eighty

855
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars ahead, and you know is collecting that money.

856
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: The son of President Cec. I call him Hunter Cec.

857
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: I mean, is he you think he's.

858
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: Gonna come around here? You know, will President Trump basically

859
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: give him an ultimatum?

860
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 12: I think all of these you know, tough talk from

861
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 12: foreign leaders is not really going to get them very

862
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 12: far Cec. They don't like this whole idea that Trump

863
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 12: came up with, because Trump, you know, essentially said that

864
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 12: he's going to build the Trump Gaza plaza in Gaza,

865
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 12: which is going to be hysterical. But you know, the

866
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 12: the entire idea of displacing the Palestinians. That the unfortunate

867
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 12: part is that nobody wants these people, which is just

868
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 12: to me. I know it sounds cruel, but I just

869
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 12: it's so ridiculous and funny to me that they cannot

870
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 12: figure out what to do with these people. They cannot

871
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 12: figure it out because no one wants them. They really

872
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 12: really don't. They don't want them in Jordan, they don't

873
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 12: want them in Egypt. They don't want to even disperse

874
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 12: them across the world. I mean, I don't know what

875
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 12: you do in that scenario, but I don't think they're

876
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 12: going to have a choice. You know, is Trump is

877
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 12: about done with this, you know, this conflict going on

878
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 12: and on and on and no one working together. So

879
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 12: I think that CC is going to be He's going

880
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 12: to come to two terms with it because there's no choice.

881
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 12: I mean, we give them a lot of money, we

882
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 12: give them a lot of aid, and I think that

883
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 12: both Jordan and Egypt are going to end up folding

884
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 12: to Trump's demands one way or another.

885
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

886
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: And also, by the way, we're also going to find

887
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: out how Egypt was complicit in allowing Hamas to operate

888
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: in and out of their country for a long time.

889
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: I think President CEC on an overall basis has been

890
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: an improvement over the last the previous two Egyptian leaders.

891
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong Morsey and Mubarak. But this is

892
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: his chance right now. This is his moment, and it's

893
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: not going to cost him his life like anwar Sadat

894
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: when he signed a peace three D with Israel. This

895
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: isn't going to be that kind of moment for him.

896
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that much to risk. And I think

897
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: you should take any deal that the United States gives

898
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: him because it's not gonna come without some from some goodies.

899
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, he probably must know that.

900
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: All right, Walter kirk Kurt, independent investigator, journalist the WC Dispatch.

901
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: Check him out on Suspect, on Substack, and on X.

902
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, an early happy weekend to you.

903
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me, Jake.

904
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: All right, Coming up, David Brodie will join us to

905
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: talk about a very sharp contrast.

906
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: That's New York Attorney General Letitia James.

907
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: She is the one getting sued now and the bad

908
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: news for her is that this time there are real victims.

909
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition will take its final bal for

910
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: today in just the moment. Yeah, that's the kind of

911
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: morning it is here in New York.

912
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 2: It's wet, but it's not that cold. It's still cold,

913
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: but it's not as bad. I'll take it.

914
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: It's also washing away. Some of the slush snow gets

915
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: dirty really quickly in New York, even in the suburbs.

916
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: It's nice for about five minutes and then it becomes disgusting.

917
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: So I like when the rain wa washes it away.

918
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition.

919
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: We're wrapping it up here before the big show, and

920
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: David Brody joins me right now. And hey, you know,

921
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 1: David's a guy who grew up in New York City.

922
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: I've been living in New York for most of my life.

923
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: And the one thing that New Yorkers, whatever our political

924
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: leanings are, are proud of us, that we stand up

925
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: for ourselves. And that unfortunately hasn't been the case for

926
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: these last few years, just on the illegal migrant situation alone.

927
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: Our own elected leaders are not standing up for New

928
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: York on this. And so now we have to get

929
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: a Florida person in Pam Bondi, the new Attorney General,

930
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: to sue our attorney general, our Attorney General, Letitia James,

931
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: and the governor and the head of the DMV because

932
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: these people are bringing in illegal migrants, they're using our

933
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: tax money to pay for them, and your tax money

934
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: if you live anywhere else in the United States, because

935
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 1: some federal money is going to.

936
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: Do a lot of it.

937
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: Frankly, and I actually have to hope that some Florida woman,

938
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: and she's great, stands up for New Yorkers. I think

939
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: this is insulting your core as much as it is mine.

940
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 2: David Brody, that's right.

941
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 4: We have to have someone from Florida bail us out

942
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 4: from New York. What are you're kidding me, I absolutely agree.

943
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 3: By the way.

944
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 4: Okay, so there's Letitia James and there's Kathy Hokeel. But

945
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 4: let's remember the one one relatively saying Democrat who maybe

946
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 4: now a Republican soon is Eric Adams.

947
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 3: So that's just kind of interesting the way that has worked.

948
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 4: By the way, as we as you know, Eric Adams

949
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 4: was a Republican before it was a Democrat before he

950
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 4: might become a Republican again. Anyhow, leaving all of that aside, Look,

951
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 4: I think ultimately what Pam Bondi here is not just

952
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 4: sending a message, but I think there's a legal fight

953
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 4: obviously brewing, not just in the federal court system, but

954
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 4: ultimately to the US Supreme Court. I mean, this is

955
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 4: all about what can the federal government do when it

956
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 4: comes to enforcing illegal or immigration laws in our country.

957
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: And the answer is everything.

958
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 4: That's the constitutional answer, and it should be a slam

959
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 4: dunk at the US Supreme Court. But but it's steps

960
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 4: like this the Bondi took in New York against this

961
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 4: law that we're talking about back from twenty nineteen, that

962
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 4: a lot of folks, a lot of Democrats, will say, oh,

963
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 4: it's against Letitia James, and it's against Kathy Hochld's retribution.

964
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 4: Give me a break, It's New York. It's a sanctuary

965
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 4: city in New York City. Look, they're not going to Alabama. Okay,

966
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 4: They're going to New York. And before that it was Chicago.

967
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 4: The week before that, it was Chicago that they're trying.

968
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 4: So all of these lawsuits are all intended, Jake, as

969
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 4: you know, to they're itching for a fight at the

970
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 4: Supreme Court on this to finally, once and for all say.

971
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 3: What is it?

972
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: Is it local?

973
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 3: Is it is a.

974
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 4: Federal in terms of who can enforce immigration law? Who

975
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 4: cannot enforce immigration law?

976
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 3: And I think that's where this is obviously all heading.

977
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there's a lot of gray area, and

978
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: hopefully most of you watching learned in high school the

979
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: different of the Constitution. There's a lot of gray areas

980
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: sometimes on some issues about whether this is a state issue,

981
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: because the states are given the right in the Constitution

982
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: to decide everything that is not already given to the

983
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: federal government. Sometimes there's gray areas about this. But as

984
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: you kind of alluded to, the border is absolutely the

985
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: federal government's purview period, and the border issue extends to

986
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: these illegal migrants. This is a slam dunk situation, and

987
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: it gives me my opportunity one more time, David to say,

988
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,760
Speaker 1: don't call it a conservative Supreme Court. It's a common sense,

989
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: six to three, common sense Supreme Court.

990
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 2: There's a lot of decisions. I don't remember an.

991
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: Actual conservative decision coming out of our Supreme Court for decades.

992
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 2: We just have common sense sometimes and sometimes we have

993
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: liberal decisions.

994
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: This, you're right, is a slam dunk. It's a common

995
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: sense thing. This is not a gray area. And after

996
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: they start lying about stuff in their headlines, they're going

997
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: to start pushing the whole wall. It's a gray area.

998
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: You know, we need the courts need to tell us

999
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: is this effect? I mean, it couldn't be more clear.

1000
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: This is the borders, as simple as that.

1001
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that about the Supreme Court.

1002
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 4: You're right, it is a comments more of a common

1003
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 4: sense court than a conservative court. Though there is a

1004
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 4: big asterisk, and that is John Roberts. I'm sorry, I can't.

1005
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 4: I don't trust John Roberts as far as I can

1006
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 4: throw him. He's been somewhat He's not reliable. Number one,

1007
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 4: he's and he's not necessarily David suitor, but he's working

1008
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 4: his way towards suitor.

1009
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 3: You know, what's the word of the suitor level? I

1010
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: should say.

1011
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 4: Look, bottom line is is that I think Roberts will

1012
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 4: probably be there on this. He's been, He's totally been.

1013
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 4: You know, he says he wants to call balls and strikes. Well,

1014
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 4: I don't know. He's just been all over the place.

1015
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 4: I don't trust him.

1016
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 3: And Amy Cony Barrett. I've got concerns about her too.

1017
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you know what I at the end

1018
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: of the day, I'm a little because of this issue.

1019
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 2: I'm confident. Like you, listen, the big show's coming up.

1020
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna have all kinds of white House stuff.

1021
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: We're wrapping it up here. I'm Jake Novak. This has

1022
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: been American Sunrise early edition. David Doctor, Geena Terrence coming up.
