1 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise, the Bourbon Street massacre. A suspected 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: terrorist raims's truck in the New Year's party goers, leaving 3 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: a deadly path of destruction. We'll have extensive coverage over 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: the next couple of hours plus what went wrong for 5 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: this attack to happen, from protective barricades not being ready 6 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: to trucks being allowed to drive down Bourbon Street. There 7 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: are lots of questions out there this morning, and we'll 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: try to get to the bottom of all of them. 9 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: We are also working on updates related to another potential 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: tear attack, this one happening in Las Vegas. It involves 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: a cyber truck that exploded outside the Trump Hotel. We've 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: got the late breaking details and so much more. All 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: of this as American Sunrise starts right now. 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: Good morning, America. 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise. We have breaking news to share 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 3: with you. 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 4: Politics. 18 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 4: We've got your couple. 20 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: This is what it looks like to be a patriot. 21 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 4: We have to protect the American family out. 22 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 3: The American dream is still alive. 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and. 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 5: I'm doctor Gina good morning everybody. I am doctor Gina. 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 5: We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. Let's 26 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 5: bring in David Brodie he's in Washington, DC. And Terrence 27 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 5: Bates he's in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, gentlemen. 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: Happy Happy New Year. 29 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 4: Happy new Year. 30 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 5: All right, let's get right too. You know what is 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 5: not happy at all? While many of us were enjoying 32 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 5: our weekends with our family and safest sleep in our bed, 33 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 5: there is this horrendous terror situation. Here's what we know 34 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 5: as of now. At least fifteen people are dead, many 35 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 5: more injured. As a forty two year old military man 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 5: from Texas with possible ties to ISIS, rammed his truck 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 5: through New Year's celebrations downtown Bourbon Street in New Orleans. 38 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 5: The FBI says the suspect, sham Said Den Jabbar, was 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 5: killed in a shootout with authorities. Subsequently, we're also hearing 40 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 5: about this suspect now. He recorded a series of videos 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 5: talking about killing his family, along with dreams that helped 42 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 5: inspire him to join ISIS. They've confirmed an ISIS flag 43 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 5: was indeed found in the truck. No idea why authorities 44 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 5: covered that up at first, Plus a scary thought that 45 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 5: didn't become reality explosive devices. More than one agents say 46 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 5: they found these deadly items in the French quarters, separate 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 5: from where the man rammed the truck into the crowd. 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 5: While President elect Donald Trump, posting on his true social 49 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 5: about the horror, said this, Our hearts are with all 50 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 5: of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the 51 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 5: brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department. The Trump 52 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 5: administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as 53 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 5: they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil. 54 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 5: You know, David, I know that you've been doing a 55 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 5: deep dive into the background because I heard you on 56 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 5: Jake's early morning show. Tell us a little bit about 57 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 5: what you know and the kinds of things you think 58 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 5: will be hearing as the day progresses. 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, this crazy guy in New Orleans lived a couple 60 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: of blocks from a mosque north of Houston. You know, Houston, 61 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: Texas has about what's one of the big Muslim populations 62 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: in Texas. Matter of fact, it has the largest Muslim 63 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: population in Texas. They have about one and a half 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: percent of Houston's population as Muslim. But where he lives, 65 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: where this guy lives. It's up at about three percent, 66 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: so it's two and a half times the size. Or 67 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: it is a Muslim community once again living blocks from 68 00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: the mosque. So attention FBI, attention local law enforcement. Maybe 69 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: you want to knock on the mosque at the door 70 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: of the mosques today and say, hey, we've got a 71 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: few questions. And so that's where I think this is going. 72 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: Because the truth of the matter is, Terrence, is that 73 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: in America from twenty ten to twenty twenty, in the 74 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: last decade or so, mosques in America have exploded in 75 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 2: this country up thirty one percent. There's almost twenty eight 76 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 2: hundred mosques now and many of them are huge, and 77 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: of course many of them are in the Bible Belt 78 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 2: and in the heartland. And we can talk about that more. 79 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: That's a separate conversation. But we need to discuss this, 80 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 2: and we need to be clear and truthful about it. Terrence. 81 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's so many tentacles to this story. One 82 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: of the ones that I'm following is that there's still 83 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: some co conspirators, or what investigators believe are co conspirators, 84 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: who are still out there and about they have not 85 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: been caught at this point. At last count, investigators believe 86 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: that there may be three men and at least one 87 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: woman who may also be involved, maybe even more, But 88 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: that's just who investigators have identified as gospel co conspirators 89 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: to all of this, and that last reporting, no one 90 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: had been caught, and so who knows what else might 91 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: be in the plans. Security is heightened now in New 92 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: Orleans where the Sugar Bowl is supposed to be played 93 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: out of course, as part of the college football college. 94 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: Football Championship program. 95 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: But that's why so many people were in New Orleans 96 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: in the first place, and potentially again no confirmation on this, 97 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: but potentially why New Orleans was a target for this 98 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: particular attack. So there's still a lot to be uncovered 99 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: in all of this, and of course we'll be on 100 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: top of all of it in the meantime, Doctor Gina, though, 101 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: I get the sense that we need, we need a 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: word from God this morning. We need our Bible verse 103 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: as we kind of deal with this first tragedy of 104 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. 105 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 4: Already, all right. 106 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 5: Let's check out today's Bible verse. It's from Psalm one 107 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 5: five four and it reads, seek the Lord and his strength, 108 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 5: seek his face evermore What a great piece of scripture 109 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 5: for us going into this new year. Head first. Joining 110 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 5: us now with more on the investigation into this act 111 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 5: of terror in New Orleans is author Charles Marino. Good 112 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 5: to have you. Charles, by the way, is a former 113 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 5: Homeland Security Department advisor. He's also a former Secret Service agent. 114 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 5: We're glad to have you. Well, so many questions here, Charles, 115 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 5: give us your expert analysis. I guess, on this possible 116 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 5: active tower, how high of an alert should Americans be on? 117 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 5: Who should be the most concerned? What does it show 118 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 5: you that this suspect was former military and had an 119 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 5: ISIS flag on his truck. 120 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 6: Well, regarding the overall threat level within the United States, 121 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 6: it's obviously elevated, especially as the FBI and law enforcement 122 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 6: continue to look for these accomplices in the scope of terrorism, 123 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 6: also known as a sell. That's a big problem. I 124 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 6: say that on purpose. I don't mean to say that 125 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 6: to be alarmed, but we got to call it what 126 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 6: it is. And right now we have an individual that 127 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 6: has declared an association with a major terrorist organization in ISIS, 128 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 6: and that could be through radicalization, that could be through 129 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 6: direct membership, it could be through a number of ways, 130 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 6: and the FBI need to find out how this pathway 131 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 6: to radicalization took place. It takes place online, Was there 132 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 6: suspect traveled to Syria and he wasn't flagged when he 133 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 6: came back, or did the radicalization take place right here 134 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 6: in the United States within that very community in Houston 135 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 6: that David was just talking about. 136 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 7: That's what the FBI I've got to answer. 137 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 6: But in the meantime, are there other imminent threats at 138 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 6: other locations around the country. We still haven't gotten clarity 139 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 6: on this situation out in Las Vegas in front of 140 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 6: the Trump property. There needs to be a link analysis 141 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 6: that's being done right now to see what the commonalities 142 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 6: are between the two instances in New Orleans and Vegas, 143 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 6: to see if this is part of an overall plan. 144 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 6: Just because you have one cell that's operating in New 145 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 6: Orleans doesn't mean that there's other cells not operating in 146 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 6: other places in the country who may not be speaking 147 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 6: to each other on a daily basis. So, look, this 148 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 6: is the situation we find ourselves in right now. 149 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 7: How that large event on New Year's Eve wasn't better protected. 150 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 7: I'll still never know. 151 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 6: This vehicle attack is a well known tactic, preferred tactic 152 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 6: of both al Qaeda and ISIS. They've been calling for 153 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 6: vehicles to be used as weapons for decades, and that 154 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 6: outer perimeter of that downtown gathering on New Year's Eve 155 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 6: should have been tighter where it actually prevented vehicles from 156 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 6: making its way down to Bourbon Street. 157 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 7: But that was not the case. 158 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: Charles. We have confirmed reporting this morning that this crazed 159 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: gunman there in New Orleans traveled to Egypt last year 160 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: for ten days. We'll have more on that soon. But 161 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: my concern actually, at first, you know, you want to 162 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: is an illegal immigrant, right, That's the first thing you 163 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 2: think of it when it crosses turns out, I think 164 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 2: this is far worse. Actually, an American citizen that was 165 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: in our military who's radicalized. I think of the ford 166 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: Hood shooter, I think of a few others. I mean 167 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: that this is something that has been around for a while, 168 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: and if we've got folks in our military that are 169 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 2: being radicalized and taking it into our military like that, 170 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: we've got a much bigger problem that way that we 171 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: do necessarily with a lone wolf of legal immigrant coming 172 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: into doing this. This is this could be much more 173 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: pervasive if it's inside the American United States military. 174 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 6: Absolutely, and we're going to find at the end of 175 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 6: this investigation that there were a lot of signs missed 176 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 6: by a lot of people, and that'll include the Department 177 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 6: of Defense under Biden, who's been solely focused on white males. Look, 178 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 6: these are the facts. We got to call it as 179 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 6: we see it, and you're going to see other signs 180 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 6: missed by associates of this guy. 181 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 7: Co workers, friends, family. 182 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 6: You're already starting to hear the information starting to trick 183 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 6: all out ef accurate. How there was a major change 184 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 6: in this guy's personality and outlook towards the United States. 185 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 6: And so there definitely wasn't the passing of what I 186 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 6: would consider to be vital information a law enforcement authorities 187 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 6: saying hey, something might be wrong here. 188 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 7: But you're right, we need to keep. 189 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 6: The main thing the main thing, and the fact is 190 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 6: is that we still have terrorist organizations that were allowed 191 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 6: to have a resurgence, by the way under the Biden administration, 192 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 6: that still want to do harm to this country and 193 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 6: the American public. 194 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: Charles, you mentioned earlier that cyber truck attack, the explosion 195 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: if you will, in Las Vegas. It happened in front 196 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: of Trump Tower. One person was killed, many more injured. 197 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: NBC News just identified the bombers thirty seven year old 198 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: Matthew Livelsburger of Colorado Springs, Colorado. They also say that 199 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: he has a military background, so that obviously raises even 200 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: more questions, particularly about whether these two cases may be related. 201 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: So at this point put into perspective for us, your 202 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: thoughts about the potential for these cases being related, and 203 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: just your overall concern about the threat level nationally, not 204 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: just in Las Vegas and in. 205 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 7: New Orleans, well nationally. 206 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 6: We've never faced more threats for more places at any 207 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 6: time in our history. 208 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 7: This is a fact. 209 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 6: We have a lot of people that are not big 210 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 6: fans of the United States, as I said earlier, that 211 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 6: want to come into this country. We've also had these 212 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 6: wide open borders that we've all discussed numerous times before, 213 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 6: where we have absolutely no idea who's entered the country. 214 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 6: But what we know for a fact that some very 215 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 6: very dangerous people from special interest locations around the globe. 216 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 6: We've encountered one hundred and eighty different countries have made 217 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 6: their way into the United States. So I don't think 218 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 6: the complete story has been told yet on the immigration side, 219 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 6: because we don't know what we don't know, And I 220 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 6: think this community in Houston is going to uncover a 221 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 6: lot of facts that are going to be disturbing to 222 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 6: the American people in terms of how this plan was 223 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 6: able to be hatched as discreetly as it. 224 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 7: Was out of that location. 225 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 6: But again, we have to look at Las Vegas as 226 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 6: if it could be connected. Right now, you've got two 227 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 6: known subjects, both were killed in their separate attacks. Was 228 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 6: there any connectivity between these two individuals. You're going to 229 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 6: see search warrants that of being executed right now at 230 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 6: the subject's homes. This is going to be in both locations, 231 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 6: at their homes. Any additional cars, they're electronic devices, interviews 232 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 6: of again family friends, as co workers, and certainly the 233 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 6: Department of Defense. But you know, I think they were 234 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 6: right to cancel the Sugar Bowl. I don't think twenty 235 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 6: four hours was enough time. I think they should have 236 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 6: said it's canceled until further notice. I do not know 237 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 6: if the city of New Orleans has the capabilities, with 238 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 6: everything going on right now, to provide the security that's 239 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 6: necessary for people to attend that event and that's why 240 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 6: they canceled it. They don't have a grip on the 241 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 6: overall threat yet. 242 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 7: In the United States and specifically in. 243 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 6: New Orleans, and they weren't comfortable with their security plan 244 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 6: at the stadium. 245 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 7: That's why they canceled it. 246 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 5: Charles Marino, thank you so much for joining us this morning. 247 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 7: Thanks. 248 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 5: Coming up, we check out the hottest headlines from the 249 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 5: RAP newsroom with Tabase and later, how about this start 250 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 5: to twenty twenty five.

Let's revisit 341 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 2: now the massacre in New Orleans. Fifteen at least fifteen 342 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: or dead, many more heard in that tragic attack during 343 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 2: New Year's celebrations. The FBI says terror suspect, forty two 344 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 2: year old shamsuond and Jabbar got around police barricades by 345 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: driving onto the sidewalk. All right, so city leaders say, 346 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 2: the protective barriers to stop attacks like these, we're in 347 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: the process of being replaced as part of an overhaul 348 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 2: to Bourbon street security, so they weren't in place at 349 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 2: the time. Instead, they had these things like they were 350 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 2: temporary asphalt that you could easily drive over as its replacement. 351 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: As for the vehicle he was driving, it's now been 352 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: confirmed that an ISIS flag was indeed flying from the truck. Also, 353 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 2: the truck and fourd F one point fifty lightning appears 354 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: to have been rented from Houston via a vehicle sharing 355 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 2: platform called Turo. All right, let's discuss all of this 356 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: and this possible act of terrorism. I say possible. We'll 357 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 2: keep it there for now, but we know the deal. 358 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 2: Real America's voice, corresponding host of Law on boarder Ben Berkwan. Ben, 359 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: good to see you, sir. So what are you hearing 360 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: about all of this, about the Sussex vehicle, about the 361 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: ties to ISIS, and your overall of views of what 362 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: we saw unfold yesterday in New Orleans? 363 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 11: Well, I'm hearing everything that you guys are here. Initially, 364 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 11: you know, there's some information that was sent out on 365 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 11: all these things, as you even said, we're going with 366 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 11: that as it appears to be. But in all these stories, 367 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 11: you know, half the time, you don't know what's true, 368 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 11: what's not, what's coming out that's that's factual, what's not. 369 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 11: And so we're monitoring it as it goes. I think 370 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 11: it's clear what it is, and I think the big 371 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 11: question becomes, how did this guy get radicalized and what 372 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 11: are the connections between him and the other Sounds like 373 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 11: there's another the the you know, the Trump Hotel in 374 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 11: Las Vegas, there's some connections there as well, And so 375 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 11: I look, sadly, I'm expecting more of this. I think 376 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 11: we have a generation, we have a society now that 377 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 11: has been weaponized. We have political weaponization and political fighting 378 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 11: that now is taken to the streets, and I think, 379 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 11: sadly we're gonna see more of it between now and 380 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 11: over the next four years. And I think it really 381 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 11: comes back to a couple of things. First is removing 382 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 11: God from our society, removing the truth of Jesus and 383 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 11: Christian values from our schools and raising kids up and. 384 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 4: The ways to go. 385 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 11: And I also think it's a government over the last 386 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 11: four years who has deprioritized the priorities that they should 387 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 11: have been focused on. And one of those is domestic terrorism. 388 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 11: The other is terrorism coming from foreign soil. And I 389 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 11: think we're going to see both of those sadly over 390 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 11: the next four years. And you look at what they've 391 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 11: done to our southern border, you look at what they've 392 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 11: done anti to stop policing, to defunding the police, to 393 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 11: focusing on DEI and our military rather than on fighting 394 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 11: wars and on killing bad guys, and now the good 395 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 11: guys seem to become the bad guys. And in the end, 396 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 11: I think the American people just look at this and 397 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 11: are somewhat confused and are very concerned, and I pray 398 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 11: that a lot of this starts getting fixed in about 399 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 11: twenty days. 400 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 5: Then on our early morning show that Jake Novak hosts, 401 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 5: my colleague David Brody was pointing to the fact that 402 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 5: there are Muslim countries around the world, like Egypt, who 403 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 5: go in and investigate these radicalized mosques. They check them 404 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 5: to see. Now there's some twenty five hundred, twenty eight hundred. 405 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 5: I believe mosques around the country, and no one's allowed 406 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 5: to take a look at them, no one's allowed to 407 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 5: ask questions. Why isn't that mosque where this guy went, 408 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 5: where he attended services. Why wasn't that one of the 409 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 5: first places that was, you know, checked, Why wasn't it 410 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 5: rated this morning like a church would be for sure 411 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 5: if anything were related, if a crime were in any 412 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 5: way related to something a Christian or Catholic or other 413 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 5: sort of situation. So my question for you is why 414 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 5: this hands off attitude regarding Islam in general? Number one? 415 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 5: And number two? How much of the blood of all 416 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 5: of this is on the hands directly of Joe Biden. 417 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 11: Well to the first question, because we've created this protected 418 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 11: class for Islam, and we've created the lie that it's 419 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 11: a religion of peace, and clearly, based on evidence and 420 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 11: history and Muhammad himself, it's not. And so I think 421 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 11: you but in our current society and our current woke 422 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 11: pop culture and our current woke policing, they've accepted that lie. 423 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 11: And I think we're seeing the fruits of that lie, 424 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 11: not just here in America, but we're seeing it all 425 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 11: over Europe. We're seeing it by the Islamization of England 426 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 11: and of Germany and of basically all of the Western 427 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 11: countries that have allowed mass illegal migration from all these countries, 428 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 11: and as you said, haven't done the work to stop 429 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 11: the radicalization in some of these moss No, that's not 430 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 11: to say that all Muslims are evil, mean people that 431 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 11: are going to do bad things, but there is a 432 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 11: clear percentage, a high enough percentage that every single person 433 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 11: should be concerned about this. And going back to your 434 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 11: second question, you know, it's hard to say in this 435 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 11: case that Biden's culpability. You know, this is again until 436 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 11: we get more of the details. But when it comes 437 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 11: to the rest of them, We've already had terror attacks 438 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 11: by Muslims that have come across the southern border illegally 439 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 11: into our country. We just had one not too long 440 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 11: ago up in Chicago by a Moretonian illegal. 441 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: So every single one of. 442 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 11: Those if they're if they're complicit in allowing terrorists to 443 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 11: come into our country, and again these are separate cases 444 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 11: what happened yesterday, then they should be held accountable. They 445 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 11: should be held as accomplices if their policies allowed that 446 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 11: to happen. I think they should be held accountable and 447 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 11: considered accomplices to the crime. 448 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 5: They raided a squirrel owner. I mean, I'm just I'm 449 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 5: pointing to the complete already here. They raided a school 450 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 5: owner home and they can't Yeah anyway. 451 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Ben, I'm going to follow you down this 452 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 1: road because I think it's important to point out and 453 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm asking you this question specifically because you are our 454 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: law and border expert and you spend a lot of 455 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: time at the border. It's not unreasonable to think that 456 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: there are some dormant extremist groups and cells in this 457 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: country right now that have snuck across our southern border, 458 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: are in this country illegally and very likely are plotting 459 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: or waiting for some sort of order for an attack. 460 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's one. It's not a question. It's not a 461 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 11: question of if, it's a question of when. And this 462 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 11: is directly from my border patrol contacts, my ICE contacts, 463 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 11: Tom Homan, all of our department, the real Department of 464 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 11: Homeland Security, not the one that's in charge right now. 465 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 11: There are multiple, potentially thousands of foreign terror cells in 466 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 11: America right now, directly as a result of our border 467 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 11: policies and as well as the domestic threat because we've 468 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 11: taken our eye off the ball of Islamic terrorism in America. 469 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 11: In fact, one of my FBI contacts, one of my 470 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 11: friends here in the Central Valley, I'm in the valley 471 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 11: visiting my family, he told me, when January sixth happened, 472 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 11: they actually took all of their FBI terror cases and 473 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 11: they took all of their agents that were following ISIS 474 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 11: and potentially at that time just ny Gi hottist terrorists 475 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 11: in America, and they transferred them to focus on American 476 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 11: January sixth participants. So that shows you why we're hardly 477 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 11: why we're in the situation we're in again deprioritizing the 478 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 11: real threats that face America and focusing on things that 479 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 11: really don't matter. And now we're living to see the 480 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 11: results of that. And sadly, I think, as I said, 481 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 11: it's not if it's when. 482 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 7: More happens, it. 483 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 2: Is for sure, Ben Burkwane, great to have you with us. 484 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,479 Speaker 2: Thanks Tom very much. 485 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 4: I appreciate it. 486 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna have more on the terror attack 487 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 2: and just a moment also coming up.

Plus the gym session 507 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 5: will feel a lot more motivating when you are actually 508 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 5: good and enjoying what you do. Good at and enjoying 509 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 5: what you do. Doctors say, seek out the challenge of 510 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 5: activities while finding it always enjoyable. Then treat workouts like 511 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 5: you treat your job. Schedule it in your day, arrive 512 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 5: on time, get ready to rock and roll. Make sure 513 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 5: you don't perceive only working out three times a week 514 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 5: as a failure. Doctor say a realistic range like that, 515 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 5: like three days, perhaps helps you slow and steady break 516 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 5: in period of being fit. So next early bird gets 517 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 5: the worm for a reason. Getting workout done early in 518 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 5: the morning sets it out of the way and eliminates 519 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 5: any excuses that you might have before your day gets 520 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 5: started and you get distracted. If you're anything like me, 521 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 5: distraction is the biggest biggest problem with a good solid workout. 522 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 5: Doctors say morning workouts help lower blood pressure, and older 523 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 5: adults and people who are overweight or obese, and many 524 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 5: people feel more energized throughout the day. Of course, there's 525 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 5: no one size fits all to exercising, so don't kill 526 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 5: yourself waking up at four in the morning to get 527 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 5: that jog in. Just do what feels best to your 528 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 5: body and what you think you can stick with the 529 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 5: most likely, all right, Also, don't forget to charge your 530 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 5: headphones or have a plan B headset music lifts you 531 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 5: up while exercising. It's more than just music. It actually 532 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 5: motivates you, making workouts longer and more meaningful. So don't 533 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 5: let an excuse of no music ruin your extra mile. 534 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 5: And it doesn't have to be just music. You can 535 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 5: listen to podcasts, audio books on a treadmill great way 536 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 5: to emphasize all of this workout, and you can listen 537 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 5: to this show.

The truth is that the forces responsible for 544 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 5: breaking it aren't going to go away.

A family and I were talking about this 563 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 5: over the weekend. What is the song that pumps you 564 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 5: up the most? What is your favorite pump up song? 565 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, you're assuming that I work out 566 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 2: number one, which is a very bad assumption on your part, Gina. 567 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 2: But if I had to say, I'd go with Pavarotti. No, 568 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 2: maybe Careless Whisper by Wham, No, never mind, I don't know, 569 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 2: I know you know what it is. It's the Rocky 570 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: theme song Rocky. 571 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 5: For so many Yeah, it's just going through your head 572 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 5: it's in my head already now, you know, I think 573 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 5: mine is. And maybe it's not so much for working out, 574 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 5: but just forgetting things done in general. Unwritten Natasha Beddingfield, 575 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 5: do you know that song? 576 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: I just love that song? 577 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 5: Yes, you know the rest is still unwritten, so go 578 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 5: write it right? 579 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 2: I love it? No, I when I go back to 580 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 2: Rocky Flying High, now it's like Hunter Biden's song. So 581 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 2: that's the one I go with. Okay, Gina, Let's talk 582 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 2: about the H one B visa controversy. Now, do Americans 583 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: like them or not? Well? According to a new Rasmussen 584 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 2: poll Erasmusen reports Pole I should say sixty percent of 585 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 2: Americans believe the nation has enough skilled workers to train 586 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 2: and hire for these jobs. Only twenty six percent that 587 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 2: say they were in favor of hiring more foreign workers. 588 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 2: By the way, the report also lists the top three 589 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: companies with the largest H one B visas in twenty 590 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: twenty four. Can you guess there? They are? Amazon, Google, 591 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 2: and Meta. Let's bring in EDWARDO Nerit, a conservative writer 592 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 2: and political analyst, to discuss this. EDWARDO good to see 593 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 2: again here on the show. In that same survey, about 594 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,959 Speaker 2: sixty fifty nine percent or so of Americans think businesses 595 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 2: with a shortage of workers in industries like manufacturing and 596 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 2: construction should be focusing on increasing wages and ramping up 597 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: their effort to hire unemployed Americans, even if it means 598 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 2: raising items and goods, which is interesting. What's your take 599 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 2: on that? And good morning, Happy New. 600 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 12: Year, Happy New Year. 601 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 13: Well, look, it's not surprising to me because that's how 602 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 13: the free market works. 603 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 14: Right. 604 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 13: If you can't attract talent at the wage you are 605 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 13: offering as an employer, and I am an employer, you 606 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 13: have to look at the situation and say, do I 607 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 13: need to offer more money? 608 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 12: Do I need to offer better incentives? 609 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 13: Do I need to offer a better work package to 610 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 13: attract the talent. I'm glad you mentioned that poll at 611 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 13: the top that sixty percent of Americans who say they 612 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 13: don't want any more foreign workers in this country. 613 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 12: And let's look at the situation and think why. 614 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 13: Okay, So say you're an American who has spent your 615 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 13: entire your entire life going through our education system from 616 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 13: K through twelve and then college. Your parents have paid taxes, 617 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 13: You have paid taxes into the system that funds our society, 618 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 13: and funds our education system, and then all of a sudden, 619 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 13: you graduate with a STEM degree and you can't get 620 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 13: a job in STEM because Silicon Valley and these big 621 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 13: corporations are able to hire someone at your same skill 622 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 13: level and your same position for far less than you do. 623 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 12: I would be teed off and the Americans should be 624 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 12: angry at this. 625 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 13: This is an issue that defined the MAGA movement basically 626 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 13: since it's inception. I mean, President Trump in twenty fifteen 627 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 13: and twenty sixteen promised that he would end the replacement 628 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 13: of American workers by their foreign counterparts. And this is 629 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 13: the issue that defines MAGA more than many other issues. 630 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 13: And so again you look at the situation that we 631 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 13: have with the H one B visa system, where for example, 632 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 13: in the United States you have over sixty percent of 633 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 13: American STEM workers who aren't working in STEM. 634 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 12: Again, why is that The talent is there? 635 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 13: We have the talent, but they're working in other fields 636 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 13: like finance, like law, And so you have to ask yourself, 637 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 13: is this really a system about attracting the best and 638 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 13: brightest across the world, or is this a way for 639 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 13: big companies to hire cheaper, more compliant foreign labor. They 640 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 13: want to hire people who are basically going to be 641 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 13: slaves in these jobs, who aren't going to ask questions. 642 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 13: It's very difficult for an H one visa worker to 643 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 13: apply to a different job, for example, once they already 644 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 13: have the visa. So what they really want is cheaper workers. 645 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 13: They want cheaper labor, and they don't want to hire 646 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 13: Americans at the value that they are. 647 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean so much of this it seems like 648 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 5: indentured servitude when you really get down to it, and 649 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 5: you really wonder is going to go on this? Do 650 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 5: you have any inclination? I mean, he has Elon with 651 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 5: Doge right, So if Elon would just stay in his 652 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 5: lane and not interfere with Tom Holman's immigration, right, I 653 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 5: don't see a problem. But then you had the comments 654 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 5: from Donald Trump that threw me off just a little bit. 655 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 5: What's your take? 656 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 13: Yeah, and look, Trump has changed a little bit on 657 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 13: this position, and I think it's because he wants to 658 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 13: do both things. I mean, for people who say he's 659 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 13: trying to backstab Magna or anything like that, I think 660 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 13: what this is is Trump wants to do what's best 661 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 13: for the country, and so when he meets with business 662 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 13: leaders they tell him, hey, we need this or our 663 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 13: businesses are going to fail. When he meets with maybe 664 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 13: people who share my views, the concern is a little 665 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 13: bit different. So I think we have to trust that 666 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 13: ultimately Trump will do the right thing. And maybe it's 667 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 13: maybe it's a compromise scenario. I mean, look, I definitely 668 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 13: think if you told most Americans let's get the elon 669 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 13: Musks in every single country, let's get the best and 670 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 13: brightest across the world, most Americans are for that system. 671 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 13: The only problem is that's not what the H one 672 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 13: B system is right now. 673 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 12: So if there would be a way to reform it. 674 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 13: As an example, my congresswoman here down in South Florida, 675 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 13: she pointed out over the weekend, Okay, we graduate about 676 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 13: half a million STEM grads every single year, but there's 677 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 13: about a shortage, according to her, of several million STEM 678 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 13: jobs of this country. So for someone like her, her 679 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 13: solution is, let's bring in those foreign workers. But as 680 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 13: I read her statement over the weekend, I thought to myself, 681 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 13: why could if it's really so severe, right, like, if 682 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 13: you actually need those workers, now, why couldn't you do 683 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 13: something where you bring those workers in part of their 684 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 13: job here in the United States is to train an 685 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 13: American at the same time, and then after the two 686 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 13: or three year they were turned back home, and by 687 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 13: then you would hope that the American is trained. I mean, 688 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 13: they never they never offer a solution that trains Americans. 689 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 13: They're always trying to shortcut the system and say we 690 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 13: need cheap. 691 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 12: Labor from overseas. So I think what we're gonna end 692 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 12: up seeing is a compromise system here. 693 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 2: You got to have a reform for sure. I mean 694 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: they say the cap is sixty five thousand. No it's not, 695 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 2: it's not even eighty five thousand. It's it's upwards of 696 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand. Definitely more than that.

The Bible says that 797 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 16: creation points to God existence and his power. I believe 798 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 16: God is gaining our attention and similar to the prodigal 799 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 16: in the Bible, we need to come to our senses. 800 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 14: And return home. 801 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 16: And as we return home, we need to seek first 802 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 16: God again and return to Jesus. And as we do that, 803 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 16: we want to give God our and our devotion that 804 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 16: is worship and David. As we start the year, let's 805 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 16: be intentional to cultivate some habits like spending time in 806 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 16: God's word. As we do that, We've created a source 807 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 16: every day twenty one days and it's healing, restoration and hope, physical, emotional, 808 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 16: relational and spiritual. Just Choosehope dot Org. We want to 809 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 16: walk with God together grow deeper in our faith. And 810 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 16: this is a wake up call for America. We're seeing 811 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 16: it on so many fronts. And instead of being in 812 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 16: denial or despair, God. 813 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:32,840 Speaker 2: Is going to give us grace. 814 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 16: God is going to give us strength, and we're going 815 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 16: to put our eyes on Jesus. 816 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 2: You know, there was a key word you said there, 817 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 2: which is intentional. We do need to be intentional about it, 818 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 2: and part of that is slowing down. Jesse. I mean, 819 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 2: I'm guilty, you know. Put me right at the top 820 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 2: of the guilty list on that. 821 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 6: You know. 822 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 2: I want to check my phone, I want to get moving, 823 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 2: I want to know the news of the day. I 824 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,439 Speaker 2: want to do this. I got a lot of stuff going, 825 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,319 Speaker 2: you know, in personal life and other things. But how 826 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 2: about slow down and maybe wake up an extra ten minutes, 827 00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 2: fifteen minutes early and spend some time with the Lord, 828 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 2: or however you're going to do it. But you got 829 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 2: to do it, and I'm guilty of it, to be 830 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 2: quite frank with you, Well, it's easy for all of us. 831 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 16: We spend eight hours a day on our devices and 832 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 16: the pace the culture right now, there's so much. It's crazy, 833 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 16: it's chaotic, there's confusion. 834 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 14: We need peace. 835 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 16: Jesus is the prince of peace, and in Psalm twenty 836 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 16: three we read Jesus as our good shepherd. Start to 837 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 16: read that Psalm every day as you wake up. It'll 838 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 16: set the tone for your day. And as you cultivate 839 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 16: that habit, let God's word dwelling you richly be filled, 840 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,279 Speaker 16: you know, David. At our house and in our car, 841 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 16: we have a setting for the temperature. The thermostat we 842 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 16: talk about should be hot or colder. Well, similarly we 843 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 16: set the spiritual temperature for our lives, and the Bible says, 844 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 16: set your eyes on Jesus that internal temperature. Jesus told 845 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 16: the disciples and John fourteen, don't be troubled in this world. 846 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,240 Speaker 16: There's so much evil, but he has overcome the world, 847 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 16: and Jesus is the victory. We need to abide with Jesus. 848 00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 16: And if we just rush into the day in our 849 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 16: own flesh and just try to self help our way 850 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 16: white knuckle through the day, we end up frustrated and depleted. 851 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 16: But with Jesus there's infinite hope and he doesn't run out. 852 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 16: Going into twenty twenty five, he is our source. So 853 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 16: let's lean into our faith. Let's abide with the Lord. 854 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 16: Let's trust his promises and goodness this. 855 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 2: Year, great advice, put the thermost out on the god setting, 856 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 2: Jesse Bradley, great to have you with us, really appreciate it. 857 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 2: Thank you. 858 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 16: Let's walk with Jesus together, David, the best is yet 859 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 16: to come. 860 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 2: Sounds good, all right, appreciate it.

Plus, speaking of trucks, 865 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 2: a Teslas cyber truck explodes outside the Trump Hotel in 866 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:07,399 Speaker 2: Las Vegas? Is this another act of terrorism? Details ahead, 867 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 2: and the Treasury Department says we could hit the debt 868 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 2: ceiling in just two weeks. What will Trump do and 869 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,919 Speaker 2: how will he handle the fiscal hawks who don't want 870 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,399 Speaker 2: to raise the debt ceiling? We have that so much 871 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 2: more as the second hour of American Sunrise starts right now. 872 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 2: Good morning, America. 873 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise.

I'm David Brody, I'm 880 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 3: Terrence and I'm doctor Tina. 881 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,840 Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody to the second hour of American Centrise. 882 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 2: I'm David Brody coming to you from DC. Let's bring 883 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,959 Speaker 2: in doctor G. She's in West Palm and Terrence Bates 884 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 2: in our Denver newsroom. Good morning to both of you. Boy, 885 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 2: I tell you what, the new year's starting off really 886 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,879 Speaker 2: in a tragic way. Doctor G. You've got that what's 887 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 2: going on obviously in Vegas and New Orleans obviously number 888 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 2: one in terms of all of that. But you know, 889 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 2: Donald Trump eighteen days it's coming, and that inauguration countdown 890 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 2: well underway, and boy, we need to see some change 891 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 2: to get some of this under control. 892 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,959 Speaker 5: Yeah, it makes you wonder, you know, how how long 893 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,879 Speaker 5: will it take to get us righted? So to speak? 894 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,439 Speaker 5: It really makes you wonder that, I mean, are these 895 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 5: are these attacks going to continue once Donald Trump is 896 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 5: president for a while. I think it's likely because it's 897 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 5: going to take some time to get some of the 898 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 5: programs and policies implemented. Terrence. 899 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a little frightening about all the things 900 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 1: that are coming down the pike. Obviously, President Trump and 901 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 1: his administration are going to have their work cut out 902 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 1: for them. But one of the things that we're seeing 903 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: from President Trump right now is that he's really trying 904 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 1: to put Democrats that's in particular, on notice and get 905 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: them on record pushing for various votes on things like 906 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling. He wants votes before he comes to 907 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 1: office so he can say, look, this isn't something that 908 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: I did, I inherited this, and now we've got Democrats 909 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: on the record. 910 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 2: All of that. 911 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 1: Though his stuff that we'll be talking about throughout the day, 912 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: we're also going to be talking more about what happened 913 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: there in New Orleans. It is really the big story 914 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 1: of the day, but some other big headlines that we're following. 915 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: The countdown for President Trump's inauguration is currently underway. The 916 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: soon to be forty seventh president met with Washington DC 917 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 1: Mayor Muriel Bowser this week to discuss areas for collaboration 918 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: between the local and federal government. In a statement following 919 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 1: that meeting, Mayor Bowser wrote, and I'm quoting here, we 920 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: look forward to supporting a successful inauguration on January twentieth. 921 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 1: In the meantime, President Trump says he'll attend funeral services 922 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 1: for recently deceased President Jimmy Carter, which are scheduled to 923 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:55,800 Speaker 1: begin Saturday and wrap up on Thursday. Carter State funeral 924 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: will happen on Saturday afternoon at the Carter Presidential Center 925 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,800 Speaker 1: in Atlanta. He'll then lyon repose in Georgia Sunday and Monday, 926 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 1: before his body is taken to Washington, DC on Tuesday, 927 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: where he'll lie in state at the US Capitol. A 928 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 1: national funeral services scheduled for Thursday morning at the Washington 929 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: National Cathedral. Congress returns to Washington, DC tomorrow, and choosing 930 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,279 Speaker 1: a Speaker of the House is going to be one 931 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 1: of the first things on the agenda. Current Speaker Mike 932 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: Johnson likely has the inside track after President Trump endorsed 933 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: him earlier this week. However, there are many Congressional Republicans 934 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,879 Speaker 1: who just aren't convinced Johnson is the guy for the job. 935 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,760 Speaker 10: We cannot actually swear in as members of Congress until 936 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,520 Speaker 10: we elect our speaker, so Friday is very significant. If 937 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 10: this doesn't happen in round one, or round two or 938 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 10: round three, we will not be able to swear in 939 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 10: as members of Congress. This is an important vote for US. 940 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 10: It's got to be someone that we can put our 941 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 10: trust in, that we can put our faith in to 942 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,800 Speaker 10: lead the mandate and to deliver give her the mandate 943 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 10: that the American people put the responsibility on us to 944 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 10: be able to do. 945 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,239 Speaker 1: After the one hundred and nineteenth Congress has sworn in, 946 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 1: the members will then go about the process of certifying 947 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 1: President Trump's election victory. 948 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 4: That is scheduled to happen on Monday. 949 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 1: Louisiana's Attorney general was promising the death penalty for those 950 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 1: involved in Wednesday's deadly terror attack there in New Orleans. 951 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:26,240 Speaker 4: We know the Army. 952 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: Veteran who was driving the pickup truck that plowed into 953 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve partygoers, killing fifteen people, had an ICE's 954 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,040 Speaker 1: flag in the vehicle with him. The FBI is on 955 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 1: the case in investigating the attackers. Terrorism agents are also 956 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 1: working to determine the forty two year old suspects association 957 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 1: with other terrorist organizations. They believe he has accomplices, potentially 958 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: three men and a woman. Investigators also confirmed that guns 959 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: in what appeared to be explosive devices were found in 960 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: the vehicle. The suspect is dead after being killed in 961 00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,359 Speaker 1: a shootout with police. Will of course, continue to cover 962 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 1: that story throughout the morning. 963 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 4: But now let's get you back over to David and 964 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 4: doctor Gina. 965 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,319 Speaker 2: Okay, tee, and you know what, why not cover it 966 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 2: right now? No time like the present, So let's continue 967 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 2: with our coverage on that heinous attack in New Orleans 968 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 2: and of course Las Vegas too. It seems to be 969 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 2: interrelated potentially. The FBI says it is investigating this is 970 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,359 Speaker 2: an act of terrorism, as Terrence reported, after a man 971 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,799 Speaker 2: plowed into a crowd of people with his truck, killing 972 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 2: at least fifteen and injuring more than thirty. Officials say 973 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 2: they found the nicest flag in the truck identify the 974 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 2: suspect as shamsu de Jabbar. Louisiana has already declared a 975 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 2: state of emergency. The Sugar Bowl will be played today 976 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,359 Speaker 2: in New Orleans at four pm after it was postponed 977 00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 2: from last night. For more, let's bring in former FBI 978 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 2: a special agent, retired Navy CeAl Jonathan Gilliam. Jonathan, thanks 979 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 2: for being here. What's your initial read on this investigation? 980 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 2: What are some questions you have and what do you 981 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:55,839 Speaker 2: suspect at this point? 982 00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 17: Well, so, there's different aspects of the way look at this, 983 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,880 Speaker 17: And first of all, I'll set aside what I see 984 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 17: as complete failures by New Orleans City and police when 985 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,440 Speaker 17: it comes to securing these known events. Will set that 986 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 17: to the side, and let's just look at the investigation. 987 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 17: I think if I gave took one hundred people that 988 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 17: have never met in this country and said I want 989 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 17: you to rent a car tomorrow, I can almost guarantee 990 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 17: you none of those people would have used an app 991 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 17: that both of these attackers in New Orleans in Las. 992 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 2: Vegas that they used. 993 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:42,319 Speaker 17: It's an obscure, basically unknown app at this point that 994 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 17: allows people to rent vehicles from individuals, not companies. Now 995 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,840 Speaker 17: I find that first and foremost very very intriguing. Also, 996 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 17: they both had rented electric trucks and drove them from 997 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,040 Speaker 17: out of state, and anybody who's ever dealt with an 998 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,560 Speaker 17: electric vehicle driving state to state that can be a 999 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,799 Speaker 17: hassle and it's not something that you can do in 1000 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,680 Speaker 17: a timely manner at times. So these are issues or 1001 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:14,439 Speaker 17: coincidences that I think law enforcement has to look at. 1002 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,359 Speaker 2: Because the attackers. 1003 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 17: May not have known each other, there may not be 1004 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 17: any type of physical link to them, but the planning 1005 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 17: or the planners could be linked. And I think that's 1006 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,839 Speaker 17: where they need to really concentrate on, is are there 1007 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 17: people that bring these two attacks together? And I think there. 1008 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,920 Speaker 1: Might be, Jonathan, to your point, officials are looking at 1009 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 1: that cyber truck explosion outside of President Trump's hotel there 1010 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas as a potential act of terrorism. The 1011 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:46,600 Speaker 1: New York Post also reporting that, So there are a 1012 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,200 Speaker 1: number of sources saying that. Also, we now know that 1013 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: the suspect is thirty seven year old Matthew Lovelsberger. 1014 00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 4: What more can you tell us about all of this? 1015 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 1: And really, I think the bigger question is are you 1016 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 1: expecting some sort of copycat or even more sorts of attacks. 1017 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 1: We already have established that they're very likely some dormant 1018 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,319 Speaker 1: terror cells in this country. Are you expecting this to 1019 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 1: potentially tip off even more of these sorts of attacks. 1020 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 17: Well, I don't like the terms lone wolf, and I 1021 00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,719 Speaker 17: don't like the term copycat because the reality is that 1022 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,240 Speaker 17: if these individuals are acting under. 1023 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 2: The same ideology or the same group, or they're. 1024 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 17: Loosely affiliated, I look at those individuals as part of 1025 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 17: that ideology. So I just I've never heard the guy's 1026 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 17: name before from the Vegas attack. So that's going to 1027 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 17: be very interesting what ends up coming out of what 1028 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 17: of who that individual is and what his religion is, 1029 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 17: what his political background is, because that attack was definitely targeted. 1030 00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 17: I mean, I don't if somebody just parked a vehicle 1031 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 17: under a Trump building, we could say, Okay, maybe they 1032 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 17: didn't like Trump. But the fact that they used a 1033 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 17: Tesla truck, they parked it underneath the Trump sign, and 1034 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 17: then they used explosives that we've seen used commonly by Antifa, 1035 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 17: I find that. 1036 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 7: Very interesting as well. 1037 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,880 Speaker 17: But the fact that both of these attacks, both in 1038 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:25,800 Speaker 17: New Orleans and here, used trucks and also explosives were involved, 1039 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 17: it starts to get very iffy if there wasn't a link, 1040 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,799 Speaker 17: because for these just to be planned on the same day, 1041 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:39,440 Speaker 17: that's it just doesn't usually happen like that unless they're coordinated. 1042 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,839 Speaker 5: Jonathan, back to New Orleans, excuse me, the city bowl. 1043 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 3: The city has. 1044 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 5: The Super Bowl next month and then Marty Grass short 1045 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 5: time after that. How heavily will the city be secured 1046 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 5: during those events? 1047 00:56:55,280 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 17: Hopefully very heavily, doctor Jase. We as we saw yesterday 1048 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,280 Speaker 17: in that disaster of a press conference, in New Orleans. 1049 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 17: I have great respect for Senator Kennedy. I would love 1050 00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 17: to see him do his own press conferences and get 1051 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 17: away from that nonsense. They act like they don't know 1052 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 17: what they're doing. And the defensiveness and the bragging that 1053 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 17: went on about how they host all these big events 1054 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,440 Speaker 17: all the time. Well, hey, that's great. You can host 1055 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 17: all the big events that you want. But are they secure? 1056 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 17: And it appears as though they're not secure, and so 1057 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 17: I think this is something that really has to be 1058 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 17: looked at close. And the Super Bowl is they've used 1059 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 17: to be a national security event. 1060 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 7: I think it should be that again. 1061 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 2: Jonathan, Let's talk a little bit about the mosques in America. 1062 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 2: They have been on the rise, the building of mosques 1063 00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 2: all across this country in ten to twenty twenty. In 1064 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,400 Speaker 2: that last decade, we've seen an increase of about thirty 1065 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 2: percent of moss We're almost about twenty eight hundred mosques 1066 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 2: now in America. What's the government's role here in terms 1067 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 2: of what they need to do to not just kind 1068 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 2: of blanket crackdown on mosques, but to really investigate what 1069 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 2: is going on. It's some of these mega mosques, especially 1070 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 2: the funding and how they're funded locally, because some of 1071 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 2: these mosques are huge, and they're especially like in the 1072 00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:30,800 Speaker 2: Bible Belt in places like that. 1073 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 17: Well, I think source recruitment out of mosques is very important. 1074 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,320 Speaker 17: Of course, you know, everybody who feels like their religion 1075 00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 17: if the federal government or state or local government starts 1076 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 17: looking into them, that that's a violation of their constitutional rights. 1077 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 17: But what I believe here is that if you have 1078 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:57,560 Speaker 17: known areas where terrorism is coming from, then you should 1079 00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:03,120 Speaker 17: be able to develop sources and find out what's going 1080 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 17: on inside of those I have heard through a source 1081 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,280 Speaker 17: who is a reliable source, but I haven't been able 1082 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 17: to corroborate it with another source, but that this individual 1083 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 17: and from Houston, was with the Nation of Islam. I 1084 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 17: don't know if I can't verify it one hundred percent, 1085 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 17: but if that's the case, it's going to be an 1086 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 17: even more interesting twist to this whole thing. But I 1087 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 17: think New York showed and the FBI showed that surveillance 1088 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:35,200 Speaker 17: on mosques paid off. It showed that having sources that 1089 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 17: worked in and out of the mosques paid off. And 1090 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,240 Speaker 17: quite frankly, Islam needs to step up to the plate 1091 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 17: and start policing themselves, because there's going to come a 1092 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 17: time when the United States is going to and the 1093 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 17: citizenry is going to start showing their displeasure with what's occurring, 1094 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 17: and there will be people that have nothing to do 1095 00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 17: with this that will get caught up in the middle 1096 00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 17: of it. 1097 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 2: Perspective of Jonathan Gilliam, Thanks for being here, great insight, Thank. 1098 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 5: You, Thank you. 1099 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 2: All right, Happy New Year to you. Coming up, we 1100 01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 2: have more coverage on the investigation into the New Orleans 1101 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 2: terror attacks, so stay tuned for more updates. We'll do 1102 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 2: it throughout the show. First, though, the Treasury Department says 1103 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,960 Speaker 2: we could hit the debt ceiling soon. What's the new 1104 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,520 Speaker 2: Congress going to do about that? We assess it when 1105 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 2: American Sunrise returns after this. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. 1106 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 2: I'm David Brody. Great to have you with us this morning. 1107 01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,000 Speaker 2: We're gonna have more on the deadly New Orleans terror 1108 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 2: attacks soon, but time now to drain the swamp. This morning, 1109 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 2: we're flushing out the Treasury Department, outgoing Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. There, 1110 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 2: she goes down the toilet, says we could hit the 1111 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 2: debt ceiling sometime in mid January. An action needs to 1112 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,480 Speaker 2: be taken, but we could be in for a bitter fight. 1113 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 2: We have President elect Trump who could have some issues 1114 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 2: with those fiscal conservatives inside of the Republican Party. The 1115 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 2: budget hawks want any increase of the debt ceiling to 1116 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 2: have spending cuts tied to it, and that makes perfect sense. 1117 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 2: During the government shutdown negotiations, Trump wanted to increase the 1118 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 2: debt ceiling and suspend it until twenty twenty nine. So, 1119 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 2: Gina and Terrence, here we are, Trump and the fiscal hawks. 1120 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 2: Sounds like a bad eighties band, But I don't know 1121 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 2: what's going to happen here between Trump and these fiscal hawks. 1122 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,880 Speaker 2: I will say this that the Republicans, Terrence better get 1123 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 2: their act together on this debt ceiling because if not, 1124 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 2: what's going to happen is Democrats are going to control 1125 01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 2: this deal. And what I mean by that is that 1126 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 2: Trump is going to have to go to Democrats if 1127 01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,360 Speaker 2: Trump wants to go if Trump wants to raise the 1128 01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,880 Speaker 2: dead ceiling, and Republicans aren't together to go to Democrats 1129 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 2: to raise the debt sealing, and that means they're going 1130 01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 2: to want something in return. That's the big that's the 1131 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 2: big concern. 1132 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 7: No. 1133 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 1134 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 1: In fact, earlier this week it was like Monday or Tuesday, 1135 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 1: President Trump took to True Social saying, look, we need 1136 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,360 Speaker 1: to vote on this debt ceiling issue now. We don't 1137 01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,400 Speaker 1: need to be waiting until June. We need the Democrats 1138 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 1: on record now in terms of how they want to 1139 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 1: respond so that this can't be blamed on Republicans. But 1140 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: I think, and you alluded to this, there's a bigger issue. 1141 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 1: There's an issue of spending. It's the debt ceiling is 1142 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,160 Speaker 1: one part, and it's it's at historic numbers, and it's 1143 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,160 Speaker 1: absolutely an issue. But I think the bigger problem that 1144 01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,480 Speaker 1: we're encountering, and this is a Democrat problem, it's a 1145 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 1: Republican problem, is the fact that spending is absolutely out 1146 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 1: of control in Washington, DC, and doctor Gina, even some 1147 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,960 Speaker 1: Republicans are out of control when it comes to this 1148 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,560 Speaker 1: issue of pork spending and just spending taxpayers dollars. 1149 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 4: Something that's got to be done. 1150 01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,880 Speaker 5: Now, you point to something so significant here at Terrence, 1151 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 5: and that is that this debt ceiling issue really illuminates 1152 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 5: the core eruption on both sides and in the system 1153 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,400 Speaker 5: as a whole that needs to be fixed. This is 1154 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 5: why we can't just say Republicans good, Democrats bad. This 1155 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 5: is really the issue that pinpoints where you have the corruption, 1156 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 5: where you have the military industrial complex, identified leadership in Congress, 1157 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 5: where you have, for example, the people that are too 1158 01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:29,800 Speaker 5: tired tied into big pharma, big corporations, all the rest 1159 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 5: of it, and put that interest over the interests of 1160 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 5: their actual constituents. This is where the people have a 1161 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,320 Speaker 5: good chance to see who the good guys are and 1162 01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 5: who the bad guys are, and to take out the 1163 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,800 Speaker 5: bad guys in both parties. And I'll tell you something else, 1164 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 5: there are a lot of Democrats from my home state 1165 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:52,480 Speaker 5: of Missouri and Alabama as well that they don't like 1166 01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 5: this either. So there's support out there for Democrats to 1167 01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 5: be strong on this issue as well. It really is 1168 01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 5: almost going to take someone like Trump to just come 1169 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 5: in and say we've got to do this. 1170 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,040 Speaker 2: You know, we always hear about the power of the purse, 1171 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 2: but there's the power of the people. Throw the bums out, 1172 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,480 Speaker 2: throw them out, you know. You know, if that if 1173 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 2: that said, I say throw the bums out, because that's 1174 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,200 Speaker 2: a you know, form of baseball expression if you will, 1175 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,600 Speaker 2: That's what they used to say. Uh, and it's true, 1176 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 2: you know, so, I mean, the power does rest with 1177 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 2: the people. Guys, there's no doubt about it. All right, 1178 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,439 Speaker 2: coming up on that was the show? 1179 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 7: Yes? 1180 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,640 Speaker 2: Please?

But what 1185 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 1: good are massive cuts when you still have massive spending? 1186 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 1: Is it going to off set I've got like serious 1187 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:39,320 Speaker 1: questions about that. 1188 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 4: It just doesn't jive. I'm not great at math. 1189 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 1: That's why I went into broadcasting, because I'm good at English. 1190 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 4: But it just doesn't jive. 1191 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:46,560 Speaker 2: The numbers don't jive. 1192 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,120 Speaker 1: You're talking about cutting two trillion dollars, yet still we've 1193 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 1: got historic debt ceiling and continued spending. 1194 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 4: Something ain't adding up. 1195 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know who's great at math? Congress in terms 1196 01:04:56,360 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 2: of magical math, fuzzy math, that's really good magic. 1197 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:02,200 Speaker 7: Mike. 1198 01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,640 Speaker 2: Oh wait, sorry except for topic.

Betsy, 1234 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I'm curious to get your initial 1235 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,280 Speaker 2: read on this situation and how hard is it going 1236 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:12,120 Speaker 2: to be to catch the other suspects, what happens now 1237 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 2: in the in the process, Betsy, Good morning to you. 1238 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,040 Speaker 18: By the way, good morning. 1239 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:16,360 Speaker 6: You know. 1240 01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,720 Speaker 19: My initial reaction was that America has now been refreshed 1241 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 19: about radical Islam, about the existence of terrorism in this country. 1242 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,360 Speaker 19: We've been hearing from the FBI director now for a 1243 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 19: couple of years. He's been going to Capitol Hill and 1244 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 19: saying an attack is imminent, and here we are, you know, 1245 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,560 Speaker 19: an attack maybe two. If you look at Las Vegas, 1246 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 19: you know, imminent, and now they've happened. So what's happening 1247 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:44,520 Speaker 19: now While you've got cops trying to secure the Sugar Bowl, 1248 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 19: that's a whole other issue. You've got this giant crime scene, 1249 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 19: plus you've got another crime scene or potentially more in Houston. 1250 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,640 Speaker 19: And at the same time, you've got, for example, the 1251 01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 19: mosque that this suspect attended is telling people don't cooperate. 1252 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:01,560 Speaker 18: With the FBI. 1253 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,560 Speaker 19: So and we also have a lack of communication, a 1254 01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:10,680 Speaker 19: lot of confusion coming from the FBI. The police chief 1255 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 19: just said this morning, well maybe there aren't any more suspects. 1256 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 19: A lot of confusion. It makes the American public nervous. 1257 01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,960 Speaker 19: We need leadership, we need information, and we need everybody 1258 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 19: to pray for those cops who are working so hard 1259 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:24,320 Speaker 19: to solve this. 1260 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:26,320 Speaker 2: No doubt about it. I want to get back to 1261 01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 2: the mos situation in a moment, But first of the 1262 01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl and the fact that they postponed it, what 1263 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 2: do you think was it best to postpone the Sugar Bowl? 1264 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,439 Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's some talk out there to say, hey, 1265 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 2: we're not going to give in to these folks that 1266 01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:41,760 Speaker 2: are going to do this type of stuff, and we're 1267 01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,600 Speaker 2: going to do business as usual. But you're saying it 1268 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,759 Speaker 2: could be a logistics issue as it relates to cops 1269 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,719 Speaker 2: on the beat and on the security front. 1270 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 19: I think it was a good idea to postpone it 1271 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 19: for one day, and of course they uped it to 1272 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 19: a Level one security event similar to the Super Bowl. 1273 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 19: You know, New Orleans knows how to do this, and 1274 01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,760 Speaker 19: so what they've done, They've expanded the perimeter. 1275 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,719 Speaker 18: You're going to see a lot less vehicular traffic. 1276 01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 19: They have spent all night sweeping the stadium, sweeping the area. 1277 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 2: You know. 1278 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 19: But to your point, the terrorists win when we alter 1279 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,960 Speaker 19: our lives, So to alter it by less than twenty 1280 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,200 Speaker 19: four hours, I think was appropriate and I think the Sugar. 1281 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:24,799 Speaker 18: Bowl will be incredibly safe today. 1282 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 2: Betsy. I think one of the big stories coming out 1283 01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,760 Speaker 2: of this is going to be a look much more 1284 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,240 Speaker 2: closely at these mega mosques that are popping up all 1285 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,920 Speaker 2: over the country. You know, where's the FBI going to 1286 01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 2: be on this exactly, and how much of a priority 1287 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 2: are they going to make it to not just blanket 1288 01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 2: investigate mega mosk We're not talking about that, but we 1289 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 2: are talking about devoting the resources to figure out what's 1290 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 2: going on because there was a radicalization going on, not 1291 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,800 Speaker 2: just that these Muskus, but also online. And I'm curious 1292 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 2: to get your take on that because he was in 1293 01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 2: this community up in north of Houston that I did 1294 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 2: some research this morning where he lived. He lived just 1295 01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,200 Speaker 2: blocks from the mosque. It's more of a Muslim neighborhood. 1296 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,120 Speaker 2: It's about three percent of the population in that zip 1297 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,439 Speaker 2: code in that area is Muslim. Only one and a 1298 01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,880 Speaker 2: half percent of Houston is Muslim, so it's almost double. 1299 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,840 Speaker 2: It's about double the average of what's going on in 1300 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,120 Speaker 2: Houston regarding Muslim the Muslim population. So what do you 1301 01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,680 Speaker 2: make of the mosque tie in here? Because this is 1302 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,080 Speaker 2: a challenge for law enforcement. 1303 01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:25,679 Speaker 19: Well, it absolutely is, because just because you're a Muslim 1304 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,160 Speaker 19: doesn't mean you're going to be a terrorist. 1305 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:28,519 Speaker 18: Most Muslims are not. 1306 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,680 Speaker 19: But we've got to look at what the FBI has 1307 01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 19: been doing. Remember they focused on what they called Christian 1308 01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,680 Speaker 19: nationalists on their website right now, one of the primary 1309 01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,479 Speaker 19: things on their website is still Capital terrorism January sixth, 1310 01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:47,000 Speaker 19: So have they been focused on radical Islam? Christopher Race 1311 01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:50,560 Speaker 19: talked about it a lot, but have they actually focused 1312 01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:54,520 Speaker 19: on investigating these types of crimes. 1313 01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 18: And you're right the online radicalization. 1314 01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:01,280 Speaker 19: Plus this is a man who went to Afghanistan, Afghanistan fell. 1315 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:05,440 Speaker 19: Did he somehow become sympathetic when he was in Afghanistan. 1316 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:09,400 Speaker 19: There's so much that we don't know and that the 1317 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:13,639 Speaker 19: FBI needs to not only get that information, but they 1318 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,200 Speaker 19: need to share it with the American public. We have 1319 01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 19: got to stop worrying so much about Islamophobia and worry 1320 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:28,200 Speaker 19: more about terrorism, not just school board moms and January 1321 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 19: sixth protesters. So this is why the National Police Association 1322 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:34,839 Speaker 19: endorsed Cash Battel. 1323 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,599 Speaker 18: January twentieth can't come soon enough. 1324 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 2: And speaking of cash Patel, that would I would assume 1325 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 2: that the hearings, these nomination hearings really need to come 1326 01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:47,840 Speaker 2: pretty quickly, even faster now, based on some of what 1327 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 2: happened here, I got about twenty seconds or so. 1328 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:56,200 Speaker 19: Cash Patel understands terrorism here at home and internationally, and 1329 01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 19: he understands the federal government. This is why we endorsed him, 1330 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,160 Speaker 19: and this is why the Republicans need to get these 1331 01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 19: Trump nominees through quickly so that we can take back 1332 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:08,680 Speaker 19: control of the homeland. 1333 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 14: Here. 1334 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 2: Betsy Branner Smith Great to have you such an important 1335 01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 2: analysis on this day especially.

Have Trump and his team been briefed 1412 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,560 Speaker 5: on this horrific situation and does Trump have any plans 1413 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 5: to visit New Orleans that. 1414 01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:20,559 Speaker 15: You know of? 1415 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:23,400 Speaker 14: Yes, good morning everyone. 1416 01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,080 Speaker 20: To my knowledge, President Trump has been breached on the 1417 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 20: situation there in New Orleans. He's also been brief with 1418 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:35,639 Speaker 20: people outside of the formal investigation there on the ground 1419 01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,760 Speaker 20: of New Orleans. Now, in terms of him showing up, 1420 01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:43,240 Speaker 20: he has done that historically. He has made appearances, showed 1421 01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:48,240 Speaker 20: his support after natural disasters and after terrorist attack and 1422 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 20: things like that we're looking at right now on your screen. 1423 01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,000 Speaker 20: Although right now I don't think that's his main focus. 1424 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,000 Speaker 20: As we are, what eighteen days away from taking office, 1425 01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 20: so he certainly has his eyes on the situation. But 1426 01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,439 Speaker 20: to my knowledge, there is no plans for him to 1427 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:05,680 Speaker 20: visit New Orleans. 1428 01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:08,720 Speaker 2: Brian. He's gonna have his eyes on the situation that 1429 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,840 Speaker 2: convenes tomorrow because the House sets a vote on that 1430 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,599 Speaker 2: speaker election. So he comes out and he endorses Mike Johnson. 1431 01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:19,479 Speaker 2: Good move, A smart move I think by him. But 1432 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 2: what do you think? I mean the way I see 1433 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:23,880 Speaker 2: the math, And of course it all depends on how 1434 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,720 Speaker 2: many people actually show up for the vote, obviously, so 1435 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 2: that's the caveat. But technically he can lose. Johnson can 1436 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:35,439 Speaker 2: lose one Republican after that he would not win. Massey 1437 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,400 Speaker 2: is a no. I mean, Massey's gonna vote no, So 1438 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to be shocked if he didn't. So that's 1439 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:43,760 Speaker 2: the one he can lose. But then you're looking at 1440 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,800 Speaker 2: Chip Roy, I mean, what's he going to do? You 1441 01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,080 Speaker 2: got others in the House Freedom Caucus. What is Andy 1442 01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,479 Speaker 2: Harris going to do? He's been a friend of this show, 1443 01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:55,680 Speaker 2: and there's others. I'm curious about, Eric Burlison. I think 1444 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:59,280 Speaker 2: Tim Burchett will vote probably yes for Johnson. But anyhow, 1445 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,679 Speaker 2: what do you make of what we could see tomorrow? 1446 01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 20: Yeah, and you've got Victoria Sparks as well that has 1447 01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 20: joined Massey in that, so you can have her on well. 1448 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,160 Speaker 20: But when you look at the way they vote alphabetically, 1449 01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 20: it's I would say the first person that potentially could 1450 01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,160 Speaker 20: come out would be Eli Crane in the seas right. 1451 01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 20: So as they go to bow Bird a birchet, like 1452 01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,640 Speaker 20: you said, obviously, I think that he will. You go 1453 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,519 Speaker 20: with President Trump, but it's going to be exciting day 1454 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,200 Speaker 20: no less, and think about this. Congress cannot get sworn 1455 01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:36,960 Speaker 20: into office until they have a speaker. So that was 1456 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 20: scheduled to take place later on Friday, late afternoon. So 1457 01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 20: if we don't get the speaker vote, if you don't 1458 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 20: read their speaker, we can't swear in the new session 1459 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 20: of Congress. But I think at the end of the day, 1460 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,599 Speaker 20: I do think he becomes speaker, David. I just think 1461 01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,639 Speaker 20: it may take a couple of rounds, but maybe that's 1462 01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:55,160 Speaker 20: what it takes to baby put the fear of God 1463 01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,599 Speaker 20: in Speaker Johnson to do the right thing and be 1464 01:18:57,640 --> 01:18:58,080 Speaker 20: a leader. 1465 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 1: And Brian, I'm going to get a step further. We 1466 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 1: don't swear in a speaker. We can't so we can't 1467 01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 1: get our house seated and then January sixth, we can't 1468 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 1: actually certify the election, and that's really that's the biggest issue. 1469 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,280 Speaker 20: No, you're right, and you know what, the Democrats would 1470 01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:19,760 Speaker 20: love nothing more than for us to fight amongst ourselves 1471 01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,439 Speaker 20: and prevent all of this from happening. 1472 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 14: That's what they want. They're gonna sit back and relax. 1473 01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 20: But I do feel confident, Speaker Johnson, will you retain 1474 01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 20: a seat and we'll move forward from that, Brian. 1475 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,759 Speaker 5: President elect Trump said to return former President Jimmy Carter's 1476 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 5: funeral over the coming weeks. What can you tell us 1477 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 5: about the preparations for that funeral? 1478 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:45,240 Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, as I drove in actually last night, 1479 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,160 Speaker 20: some of the J six style fenching fencing us up 1480 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 20: around a lot of the house buildings and things like that. 1481 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 14: Now they will. 1482 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,120 Speaker 20: For the body of former President Carter will be in 1483 01:19:56,280 --> 01:20:00,560 Speaker 20: Georgia the weekend before, so it'll have a couple of 1484 01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 20: days there at the capitol. Governor Brian Kemp and other 1485 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:08,400 Speaker 20: elect officials in Georgia will pay their respects to President Carter. 1486 01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 14: The body will then fly to d c where there 1487 01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:12,559 Speaker 14: is a. 1488 01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:18,000 Speaker 20: Horse carriage procession scheduled to go to the capital. Then 1489 01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:22,120 Speaker 20: later to the cemetery there, but I think it's going 1490 01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 20: to be a very huge gathering. Obviously, all politics aside. 1491 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,760 Speaker 20: I could disagree with everything that Jimmy Carter did to 1492 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,120 Speaker 20: this country. I think he ruined the economy and there's 1493 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,120 Speaker 20: other things as well. But the guy was a humanitarian. 1494 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 20: I actually spent some time with him back in the 1495 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:42,200 Speaker 20: early twenty twelve when he did a habitat for humanity 1496 01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,679 Speaker 20: in Dallas, Texas. He was with Garth Brooks and Trisha 1497 01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 20: year Would I was with an event project with them. 1498 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 20: Was a great guy. He will be missed, but it 1499 01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,639 Speaker 20: will be a large event. To my knowledge, I don't 1500 01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,200 Speaker 20: think as of yet, and maybe I'm wrong that he 1501 01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:00,679 Speaker 20: hasn't been formally invited to attend that funeral, but maybe 1502 01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:04,080 Speaker 20: that has changed in the last few hours. 1503 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,479 Speaker 2: You know, Brian, I don't want to go back to 1504 01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:08,280 Speaker 2: the Speaker Johnson vote, but I do want to say 1505 01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,000 Speaker 2: one thing. Members. By the way, members of the House 1506 01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,840 Speaker 2: do not get sworn in. Let's not get scorn excuse me, 1507 01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 2: do not get paid until they are sworn in, and 1508 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,240 Speaker 2: the swearing in comes after the speakers vote. So just 1509 01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:22,599 Speaker 2: an FYI, if they keep delaying it, they ain't getting paid, 1510 01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:24,599 Speaker 2: so that's important. I understand. 1511 01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:24,800 Speaker 7: Here. 1512 01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:29,240 Speaker 2: Let me ask you about the Congress coming up here priorities, 1513 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,280 Speaker 2: So the way I see it, tell me if I'm 1514 01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,519 Speaker 2: missing something, you got I'm talking about first hundred days, 1515 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,519 Speaker 2: but definitely first two years. I mean, it's got to 1516 01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:40,840 Speaker 2: be immigration, the tax cuts extended, and energy policy. There's 1517 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,040 Speaker 2: going to be other things too, obviously, But are those 1518 01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:44,879 Speaker 2: the three biggies or did I miss a biggie? 1519 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 14: Now you got them? You got it? From what I've 1520 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:50,639 Speaker 14: been told by several in Congress and auction. 1521 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,280 Speaker 20: You've heard the President Trump even talk about this what 1522 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,960 Speaker 20: he'd like them to focus on, it is going to 1523 01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:57,280 Speaker 20: be those those three items. 1524 01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:00,400 Speaker 14: Now I expect Doge to really excel rate. 1525 01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:03,559 Speaker 20: Though in my personal opinion, from what I'm hearing, you're 1526 01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,280 Speaker 20: going to see Doge turn some heads. And the way 1527 01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 20: they're going to conduct that committee is that unlike previous 1528 01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,679 Speaker 20: investigations and all these studies where we have to wait 1529 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,760 Speaker 20: months and years for the findings, they're going to come 1530 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 20: up with a report soon after a hearing. US done 1531 01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:22,160 Speaker 20: to be able to submit that and say here's the 1532 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:26,439 Speaker 20: recommendation that we suggest on cutting the waste views and 1533 01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 20: fraud in our government. So that's going to I think 1534 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,639 Speaker 20: making a dramatic impact from the very beginning. 1535 01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,080 Speaker 14: But you know, like you. 1536 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 20: Said, it all starts stuff tomorrow January third, on the 1537 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:41,280 Speaker 20: hill here in DC. 1538 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,400 Speaker 14: I'll be there on the ground for the speaker for 1539 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:45,240 Speaker 14: the speaker. 1540 01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 20: Race, and then and then bring you any kind of 1541 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,960 Speaker 20: coverage that falls out of that as well as it's 1542 01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:50,400 Speaker 20: it's a. 1543 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 14: Great time to be alive. 1544 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,720 Speaker 20: I think it's a great time to be for us 1545 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 20: to come into office, and there's so much in the 1546 01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,080 Speaker 20: news and there's so many problems that we have that 1547 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,560 Speaker 20: I think that takes President Trump in a collective agreement 1548 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,639 Speaker 20: in the Republican Party to make these changes. 1549 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:11,760 Speaker 5: Brian, regarding we're regarding departments, regarding department cuts and DOGE, 1550 01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,639 Speaker 5: what do you suspect is the first department to go? 1551 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,640 Speaker 5: Will it be gone completely? Which ones will be completely eradicated? 1552 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,360 Speaker 5: If you have any any ideas on that, and which 1553 01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:25,120 Speaker 5: ones will just be cut down to size where they 1554 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,400 Speaker 5: maybe could function a little more efficiently. 1555 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 20: Yeah, I haven't heard officially any you know, confirmed compartment departments, 1556 01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 20: but I know that President Trump rallied against the Department 1557 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,760 Speaker 20: of Education. Now I know, we have Linda McMahon in 1558 01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,360 Speaker 20: there at the Department of Education, but maybe we'll start 1559 01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:47,000 Speaker 20: to see some reduction within that department. I also see 1560 01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 20: us scaling back on some of our military across the world. 1561 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,960 Speaker 20: I mean, look how much money we send to these 1562 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:55,400 Speaker 20: countries to for what? 1563 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 14: Like what why are we sending that. 1564 01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,679 Speaker 20: I just found out this morning that we're sending billions 1565 01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 20: of dollars to the Taliban family as some type of 1566 01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 20: reparation for their loss. We're sending hundreds of millions of 1567 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:16,519 Speaker 20: dollars to other Afghan you know citizens, We're funding the 1568 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:18,519 Speaker 20: pensions of all these foreign governments. 1569 01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:21,559 Speaker 14: You throw it on top of what we've done to Ukraine. 1570 01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 14: We're broke. 1571 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,559 Speaker 20: I think those people in western North Carolina would love 1572 01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:28,840 Speaker 20: to have a little bit more governed assistance as we 1573 01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,840 Speaker 20: move into the winter months and they are still displaced 1574 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,760 Speaker 20: after all these natural disasters. So doctor Gina, I really 1575 01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:38,200 Speaker 20: feel like we're gonna look beyond our walls of this 1576 01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,120 Speaker 20: country and find out where we can cut these payments 1577 01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,840 Speaker 20: and bring this money back. We'll save it and we'll 1578 01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:47,280 Speaker 20: put it to better use and help Americans in this 1579 01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:51,599 Speaker 20: day and age that are suffering tremendously under what has 1580 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 20: happened during the Biden years, Brian. 1581 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 1: A debt ceiling vote isn't expected to happen until June, 1582 01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,679 Speaker 1: so it feels like we've got breathing room. Janet Yellen 1583 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 1: says that here with the next couple of weeks, I 1584 01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,920 Speaker 1: think the fourteenth to the twenty fourth is the dates 1585 01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:08,200 Speaker 1: that she's laid out in terms of when we'll hit 1586 01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling. Do you think that urgency, the fact 1587 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,840 Speaker 1: that we're there, is going to catapult that issue maybe 1588 01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:16,800 Speaker 1: to the top, to the forefront for Congress, and there 1589 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,000 Speaker 1: will be some sort of vote even in advance of 1590 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,479 Speaker 1: the prospective or projected June vote. 1591 01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 14: They could. I think so. 1592 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:27,040 Speaker 20: I mean, I think the doge. I think all of 1593 01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,400 Speaker 20: this goes back to how are we spending our money? 1594 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,360 Speaker 20: Where is it going? And if we don't get that, 1595 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:35,160 Speaker 20: if we don't get our spending under control, we're done. 1596 01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:37,240 Speaker 20: So I think Terrence, you've got it. You brought up 1597 01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:38,559 Speaker 20: a good point. I think we will see in it 1598 01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:40,679 Speaker 20: sooner than later, for sure. 1599 01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,000 Speaker 5: Brian Glenn, we thank you for your time, Thanks so much. 1600 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:46,080 Speaker 14: Thanks for much. 1601 01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 5: All right, what was the top story in the legacy 1602 01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:52,760 Speaker 5: media said they ignored in twenty twenty four.

Let's get right into what's in the cup today, 1617 01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:01,479 Speaker 1: and we're talking about CBS News saying the quiet part 1618 01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:05,160 Speaker 1: out loud. One of their correspondents said the most underreported 1619 01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:08,080 Speaker 1: stories of twenty twenty four had to do with President 1620 01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:10,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's cognitive decline. 1621 01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:15,040 Speaker 21: Undercovered, underreported that would be to me, Joe Biden's obvious 1622 01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:19,720 Speaker 21: cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate the 1623 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,280 Speaker 21: presidential debate was unquestioned. And you know it's starting to 1624 01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:28,479 Speaker 21: emerge now that his advisors kind of managed. His limitations 1625 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,400 Speaker 21: been reported in the Wall Street Journal for four years, 1626 01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 21: and yet he insisted that he could still run for president. 1627 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,240 Speaker 21: We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was 1628 01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:40,920 Speaker 21: fit for office for another four years, which could have 1629 01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,640 Speaker 21: led to a primary for the Democrats. It could have 1630 01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:45,920 Speaker 21: changed the scope of the entire election. 1631 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 1: All right, let's bring back in doctor Gena and David 1632 01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:54,640 Speaker 1: to talk more about this. David, duh, that's my response. 1633 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:58,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, duh. And by the way, this idea that 1634 01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:00,639 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, we should have done that. Yeah, it's 1635 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:03,360 Speaker 2: a good point. Yeah, we really just weren't quite on 1636 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:07,240 Speaker 2: top of it. That's a that's crock. That's a load 1637 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:10,000 Speaker 2: of croc. They knew exactly what they were doing. These 1638 01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 2: people love to call themselves the smartest people in the world, 1639 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,240 Speaker 2: and then they see this and they're dumb. I mean, 1640 01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:18,040 Speaker 2: you know, it's ridiculous. They knew what they were doing. 1641 01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:24,879 Speaker 2: They would rather see Joe Biden totally mentally, you know, off, 1642 01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:29,080 Speaker 2: way off than see Trump as president. It's just that simple. 1643 01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,799 Speaker 2: I mean, these people didn't want to investigate. They purposely 1644 01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 2: didn't want to investigate. And listen, do I can I 1645 01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:36,679 Speaker 2: prove it in a test tube? Of course I can't. 1646 01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 2: I can't prove intent. But I also had some common 1647 01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 2: sense and that's where my conclusion leads. Gina. 1648 01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:46,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a perfect example of where evil is 1649 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:51,040 Speaker 5: masquerading is stupid. This wasn't a lack of information on 1650 01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:52,920 Speaker 5: their part. This wasn't them just. 1651 01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 3: Being naive or oh whoops. 1652 01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 5: No, this was, as David eludes, this was very intentional 1653 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,200 Speaker 5: and this was an act of outright evil because let's 1654 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:05,280 Speaker 5: not forget that the entire time they were turning their 1655 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,360 Speaker 5: head to look the other way to maintain their own 1656 01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:12,439 Speaker 5: power and money base. Right the entire time, Americans were dying, 1657 01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:15,440 Speaker 5: people from around the world were dying. Americans will continue 1658 01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,680 Speaker 5: to die because of what they didn't do. Because of 1659 01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:23,840 Speaker 5: a complete lackluster absent administration for the last four years. 1660 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:28,479 Speaker 5: America essentially had no elected president for the last four years. 1661 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:30,160 Speaker 5: And these people. 1662 01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 3: Are the culprits. 1663 01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,679 Speaker 5: It is. The blood is on their hands. One hundred percent, Terrence. 1664 01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:36,559 Speaker 1: You know, and I've listened to that clip over and 1665 01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:38,720 Speaker 1: over and one of the things that strikes me this 1666 01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:41,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't about culpability. Yeah, we missed this story. We 1667 01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:45,080 Speaker 1: should have followed this. This really was hindsight is twenty twenty. 1668 01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,120 Speaker 1: And her ultimate point was, had we reported this earlier, 1669 01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,280 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have been stuck with Kamala Harris. We could 1670 01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,240 Speaker 1: have had a primary and we could have maybe mounted 1671 01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:56,679 Speaker 1: a candidate who could have really mounted a real campaign 1672 01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:59,720 Speaker 1: as a result of that. To me, that's what that's 1673 01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:02,880 Speaker 1: her real point, not the fact that they just missed 1674 01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:03,280 Speaker 1: this story. 1675 01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 4: David, That's what I took. 1676 01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:04,760 Speaker 15: Well. 1677 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:07,240 Speaker 2: But but here's the thing, Terrence. It shouldn't be the 1678 01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 2: main point. The main point should be it was a 1679 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:12,599 Speaker 2: national security It's a national security issue for the United States, 1680 01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:16,120 Speaker 2: and that should have been the issue, not about Hey, 1681 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,080 Speaker 2: he could have had a primary opponent who cares about 1682 01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:22,080 Speaker 2: the political ramifications. That's that secondary maybe even on a 1683 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 2: third level for sure. 1684 01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:26,200 Speaker 1: So here's seems to me that was the point she 1685 01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:27,760 Speaker 1: was trying to make. I fully agree, go ahead to 1686 01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:28,400 Speaker 1: Oh I. 1687 01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,960 Speaker 2: Hear you, No, I hear you. And here's the other thing, 1688 01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,040 Speaker 2: they're also trying to say this was some of the 1689 01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 2: folks that were defending this idea that they didn't they 1690 01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:37,840 Speaker 2: look the other way. They said, well, people were just 1691 01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:41,000 Speaker 2: going with agism on that. It was never agism. It 1692 01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:42,880 Speaker 2: was never about that he was too old to do 1693 01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:45,120 Speaker 2: the job. That was part of the discussion, as it 1694 01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,000 Speaker 2: relates to what Nicki Haleing and some other people are saying, 1695 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 2: But that was not the discussion. It was about his 1696 01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,280 Speaker 2: mental acuity. It's always been about his mental acuity. You know, 1697 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,160 Speaker 2: he could be forty two or eighty two or one 1698 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,320 Speaker 2: hundred and two, it doesn't matter. It was never about 1699 01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 2: his age. It was about Kenny do the job and 1700 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:00,360 Speaker 2: is he up for it? And he clearly was. Doctor 1701 01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:00,760 Speaker 2: jum No. 1702 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:03,640 Speaker 5: They tried every single time when we brought up the 1703 01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:07,400 Speaker 5: incompetence of Joe Biden, they tried to make it into 1704 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,360 Speaker 5: agism so that they could then say, oh, well Trump's 1705 01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:12,880 Speaker 5: about the same age, we probably shouldn't elect him either. 1706 01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:15,680 Speaker 5: So they're the ones that tried to make it into agism. No, 1707 01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,840 Speaker 5: this is the problem here, Terrence. It doesn't matter what 1708 01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,880 Speaker 5: they say. There's no maya culpa, there's no mana culpa. 1709 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:25,040 Speaker 5: For the fact that they put this nation in danger 1710 01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:27,720 Speaker 5: for four straight years, and really it extends beyond that 1711 01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:29,599 Speaker 5: we talked about in the first part of this show. 1712 01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:35,000 Speaker 5: The ramifications of a completely absent administration for four years 1713 01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:39,080 Speaker 5: will culminate in us, this country being in danger for 1714 01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:44,599 Speaker 5: years beyond where they have any power. This was all 1715 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:47,040 Speaker 5: about the power and the money to them and maintaining 1716 01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:50,920 Speaker 5: their elitist way of life. That's what this was about, 1717 01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,000 Speaker 5: and they were willing to do anything to protect it. 1718 01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:57,640 Speaker 5: Americans are under no illusion. Americans woke up because of 1719 01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:00,640 Speaker 5: what they failed to tell us. This was not an 1720 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:05,120 Speaker 5: accident and the level of greed, the sheer greed that 1721 01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:09,479 Speaker 5: must go into someone saying, oh, darn, I really wish 1722 01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,280 Speaker 5: we would have actually reported this because we might have 1723 01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:15,920 Speaker 5: STI won the presidency. No, you didn't deserve the presidency. 1724 01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,120 Speaker 5: The American people took it away from you because you 1725 01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:23,880 Speaker 5: proved yourself completely liable in an evil attempt right to 1726 01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:29,480 Speaker 5: manipulate this country at the expense of our very security 1727 01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:33,559 Speaker 5: and sovereignty. You should never be forgiven for this. These 1728 01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:36,320 Speaker 5: people should be gone for good from politics. 1729 01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:40,439 Speaker 1: With the next Yeah, absolutely, I'm curious to see what 1730 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,719 Speaker 1: the next four years has in storn how mainstream media 1731 01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:46,680 Speaker 1: will change over the next four years under a Trump administration. 1732 01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:48,360 Speaker 4: We shall see sooner than later. 1733 01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:51,000 Speaker 1: Still to come here on American Sunrise, we're going to 1734 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,040 Speaker 1: take a moment to play for the families and the 1735 01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:56,040 Speaker 1: lives that were ruined and taken in New Orleans. 1736 01:32:56,680 --> 01:33:13,200 Speaker 4: That's next, all. 1737 01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,639 Speaker 5: Right, Welcome back on Doctor g As we've been talking 1738 01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:19,160 Speaker 5: about throughout the show, at least fifteen people killed in 1739 01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:22,160 Speaker 5: the New Orleans terror attack, at least thirty others have 1740 01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,680 Speaker 5: been injured, and those fifteen families, as you can imagine, 1741 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,120 Speaker 5: will never be the same again. We send our thoughts 1742 01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:31,200 Speaker 5: and our prayers to those impacted, and we really do 1743 01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:35,400 Speaker 5: hope and pray that justice is ultimately served. 1744 01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:41,200 Speaker 2: David Well, justice can begin to be served if the 1745 01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:45,320 Speaker 2: federal government and local law enforcement work together and actually 1746 01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:49,400 Speaker 2: not put their heads in the collective sand and make 1747 01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:52,400 Speaker 2: sure they call out what this is and when they 1748 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:54,599 Speaker 2: find out, and it does, it's not going to take 1749 01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:58,600 Speaker 2: a rocket scientist to figure this out. This appears to 1750 01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:02,040 Speaker 2: be we'll say, appears for an hour. But radical Islamic terrorism. 1751 01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:04,639 Speaker 2: These were three words that Barack Obama would never say. 1752 01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,479 Speaker 2: That's when it all started, and we need to call 1753 01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:13,880 Speaker 2: it out. And we already have confirmed information about certain 1754 01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:15,920 Speaker 2: leanings that he had as it relates to the Qur'an 1755 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:19,559 Speaker 2: and the ISIS flag is confirmed, and there's a lot 1756 01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:23,920 Speaker 2: more his brother speaking about his loyalty to ISIS. There's 1757 01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:26,280 Speaker 2: a video of him talking about his loyalty to ISIS. 1758 01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:30,000 Speaker 2: So we know this is a form of radical Islamic terrorism, 1759 01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,400 Speaker 2: not saying that there aren't other factors, as it relates 1760 01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:35,519 Speaker 2: to despondency, and you know he was going through a 1761 01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,679 Speaker 2: lot in X, Y and Z, but this is where 1762 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:40,479 Speaker 2: the focused terrence needs to be. There's no doubt about it. 1763 01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,559 Speaker 1: And it's also a reminder and a wake up call, 1764 01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,759 Speaker 1: I think for our country that we are still a target. 1765 01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:50,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes when there's this lull, we rest on our laurels 1766 01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:52,559 Speaker 1: and get a little lax and this. 1767 01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:53,840 Speaker 4: Is a reminder that we can't be. 1768 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:56,519 Speaker 1: That there's still people out there and in this country 1769 01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,280 Speaker 1: right now who mean to do the country harm. And 1770 01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,120 Speaker 1: so we need to up the security, not just that 1771 01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:05,000 Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl, but around the country. And you know 1772 01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:07,400 Speaker 1: we always here see something, say something, Well, this is 1773 01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:10,200 Speaker 1: a reminder if you are out there and you see something. 1774 01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:12,840 Speaker 1: You've got to say something because you just never know. 1775 01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:16,639 Speaker 5: So true, Terrence. You know, the thing that's still shocking 1776 01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:18,040 Speaker 5: to me is the fact that you know, I was 1777 01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:22,240 Speaker 5: watching this whole thing break on X and that they 1778 01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,960 Speaker 5: covered up. Why did law enforcement take time to cover 1779 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,599 Speaker 5: up the ISIS flag in the back of that truck? 1780 01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,879 Speaker 5: Why was that the focus when you had people literally 1781 01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:33,280 Speaker 5: dying in the streets. I mean, this sort of thing 1782 01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:38,480 Speaker 5: continues to just enrage me. The American people deserve better transparency. 1783 01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:41,720 Speaker 5: We deserve more honesty from our law enforcement and from 1784 01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:45,360 Speaker 5: our politicians. I really pray that this new Trump era 1785 01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:49,320 Speaker 5: ushers in a level of transparency and accountability to those 1786 01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:52,360 Speaker 5: you work for, being real, the American people and the 1787 01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:54,840 Speaker 5: citizens that were waiting for medical attention while they were 1788 01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,120 Speaker 5: bothering to cover up a stupid ISIS flag. 1789 01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:02,479 Speaker 2: Anyway, Well, transparency is uncomfortable, but it's necessary. Yeah, it's necessary. 1790 01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,679 Speaker 5: Well, an informative show today.
