1 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise Early Edition. Don't look down. The 2 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: stock markets are set for another steep drop when trading 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: resumes in about two and a half hours. But President 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: Trump urges Americans to stay strong as he believes his 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: tariffs will strengthen the American economy. But not everyone inside 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: the White House is following the same playbook. Elon Musk 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: and top Trump advisor Peter Navarro don't agree on how 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: far the tarriffs should go and how long they will last. 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: But not to worry, they say, it's just a healthy debate. 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: Thousands of Americans came out this weekend to attend so 11 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: called hands off protests against President Trump and Elon Musk, 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: but it's not clear what they want and what they 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: don't want them to touch. In fact, it's not clear 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: what they wanted at all. American Sunrise Early Edition starts now. 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom, 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: and the values that built the nation take centers.

It is going 22 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: to be a busy one. I'm Jake Novak. This is 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: American Sunrise early edition. Joining me now is Daily Signal 24 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: executive editor Rob Louis. Rob, it's gonna be a rough 25 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: open for the stock markets again this morning, although I 26 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: should note we were down fourteen hundred points on the 27 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: now overnight it's now seven hundred points. I know that 28 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: still doesn't look back great to a lot of people, 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: but something maybe up here or maybe not, maybe just 30 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: some of the sellers decided to sleep in. But look, look, Rob, 31 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: we know the bankers and the brokers don't like these tariffs. 32 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: Not just for one minute, but what's your take on 33 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: how main Street is reacting to all of this so far? 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: Sure well, Jake, good morning to you. And I think 35 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: that that is the question on everyone's mind, probably most 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 3: importantly those staffers working in the White House and President Trump, 37 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 3: because you know, a remarkable thing about Donald Trump from 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 3: that moment that he entered politics in twenty fifteen, is 39 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: that he's always had the little guy, or the working 40 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: American top of mind, and I think that he's obviously 41 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: been able to have great success appealing to that group 42 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: of individuals because they recognize that the system is broken 43 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: and he's doing things to try to change it. Now, 44 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: as so many people have said, there might be some 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: short term pain before we see some of those long 46 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: term gains in terms of jobs returning to the United States, 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 3: the trade and balance wiped away. But in this meantime, yes, 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's important for main Street to 49 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 3: have faith that Donald Trump knows what he's doing. And 50 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: even as we have these debates among economists and others 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: in Wall Street, you know sees the Dow tumble, we 52 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: have to remember that this system is not working as 53 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: it should. Families are suffering, We're paying far more today 54 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: as a result of the government spending spree that Joe 55 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: Biden went on. It is going to take some work 56 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: and some time to fix things. 57 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that that's what most of Main 58 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: Street is willing to listen to for now. I think 59 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: it's been a bipartisan issue about trying to get more 60 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: blue collar jobs back into this country, more things made 61 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: in this country. And the reason why I say bipartisan 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: rob is because it's funny to see the Democrats uniformly 63 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: not only oppose these tariffs but stand up for Wall 64 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: Street billionaires. I mean that you've probably seen on social media. 65 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: For those of you who haven't, you can easily find it. 66 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: You can see video after video of some of the 67 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: biggest named Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Standers, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, 68 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: just some of them talking about how they're in favor 69 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: of tariffs, talking about how the trade balance against the 70 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: United States is impossible. They all sound like what Trump 71 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: is saying just a few years ago. But I've never 72 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: seen them fired up like they are for these Wall 73 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Street bankers today ever. I mean, you would think that 74 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: they were a trans trendio agua, a member who's trying 75 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: to play for the Washington Bullets or something. I don't 76 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: know what's going. 77 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: On here, Jake. It is remarkable. I remember back in 78 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: the two thousands, and obviously even before then, when Democrats 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: one of their most potent attacks was this billionaires for Bush. 80 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 3: I mean, they went after the Republican Party and its 81 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: ties to Wall Street almost daily, and you've had a 82 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: complete flip. Now it's the Republican Party that's looking out 83 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: for the little guy, the working class American. It's the 84 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: Democrats who are looking out for those big interest special interests, 85 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 3: Wall Street types. And you see it in the political 86 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: campaign donations. I mean, it's no wonder. Just follow the 87 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: money and you can understand why Democrats are taking the 88 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: position that they are. Almost uniformly, you're correct that Democrats 89 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: have come out and opposed exactly what President Trump has done. 90 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: The one exception seems to be the delegation from Michigan, 91 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: which I think recognizes the problems in that state with 92 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 3: manufactur in the fact that a lot of those good 93 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: paying jobs at automotive automobile factories have disappeared overseas. And 94 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 3: so I don't know ultimately where the Democratic Party lands 95 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: on this. In the past, they've obviously been more supportive 96 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 3: of things like tariffs, but again, they struggled deeply in 97 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four election with this very constituency of 98 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: working class Americans. And that's why you people had people 99 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: like Bernie Sanders come out and say, look, the party's 100 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: lost its way. We need to figure out how to 101 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 3: get back on track. 102 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, but Sanders is still sticking up for Wall Street 103 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: on this season yes, sars now it makes it. You know, listen, 104 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: it's one of the things I listen whether they deserved 105 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: it or not, and I think and I would make 106 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: the argument that they didn't. But if they deserved it 107 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: or now. The Democrats were very successful in branding themselves 108 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: as the party for the little guy, for the poor people, 109 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: not for the richest people around, and they've lost that branding. 110 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: It isn't just because of Donald Trump. It's also because 111 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: of their obsession with Hollywood issues, going too far, on 112 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: the environment, going too far, things like boys and girls, 113 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: locker rooms, all that kind of stuff. And now it's 114 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: coming home to roost. And it's amazing to me. They 115 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: had this one last chance to say, hey, you know what, 116 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: on this, we're going to go with Trump, and they aren't. 117 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: And they're and they're going and they're literally crying for 118 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: Wall Street. It's incredible, Okay, Rob. The mainstream news media 119 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: tells us that a million, billion trillion people stormed out 120 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: of their homes this weekend to protest for Donald Trump 121 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: and Elon must They called it the hands Off protests. 122 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: I looked at the protesters and most of them looked 123 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: like senior citizens who were definitely angry, but perhaps confused. 124 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: Should the president and Elon must be worried or should 125 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: someone call and report elder abuse? Because that really felt 126 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: like what that's this was this weekend? 127 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: Well, well, I encourage your audience to go to the 128 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 3: Daily Signal and check out some of the signs that 129 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: that are our team captured in the Washington, DC version 130 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: of that protest. And and yeah, I think, as you 131 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: see not only in articles like that and in the 132 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: news coverage of what happened over the course of the weekend, 133 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: a couple of things top of mind. Number one, there 134 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 3: were individuals who didn't clearly understand why they were even there. 135 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 3: I think that this Trump hatred is driving most of it. 136 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 3: They're not actually standing up for something, which is a 137 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: stark contrast for the Tea Party movement in two thousand 138 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: and nine, when there was a clear direction among those 139 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: protesters that they wanted to see smaller government, more limited government. 140 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: In this particular case, I think it's a hodgepodge of ideas. Yes, 141 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: maybe there were some seniors who turned out because they 142 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 3: felt that social Security benefits were a jeopardy, which, by 143 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: the way, has Donald Trump been more consistent about anything 144 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: since he entered the political frame than the fact that 145 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: he won't touch social Security benefits. So I don't understand 146 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: why people will get so worked up about that particular issue. 147 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: But then yes, any number of left wing causes you 148 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: see on display or represented in these signs, Jake and 149 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: I don't necessarily think that they connect with the American people, 150 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 3: in part because a lot of these issues that are 151 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: embraced by the far radical left, Conservatives have a huge 152 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: advantage on when it comes to the polling issue, and 153 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: so I'm not necessarily sure where all this energy will 154 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: ultimately lead. Obviously, they had a big win in the 155 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: Wisconsin Supreme Court race, but they also dumped a lot 156 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 3: of money into those Florida congressional seats last week and 157 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: they lost both of them. So you know, it's a 158 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 3: mixed bag on the part of Democrats and those on 159 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: the left. 160 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: I think that this has continued to happen since Trump's 161 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: first term. They can get a decent crowd out there, 162 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: and I give them credit for that. That's not the 163 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: easiest thing to do. It's still a little bit chilly 164 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: out there and rainy in a lot of parts of 165 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: the country. I give them credit for that absolutely, but 166 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: they lacked their inability to articulate a single message. They 167 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: were trying to a chant called hands off our Constitution. 168 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: These are the people who have been waging war on 169 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: the Constitution for a very long time. These are the 170 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: ones who tell us the Constitution was written by white 171 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: slave men, slave owners. I mean it, really, they just 172 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: don't have that kind of consistent messaging. No wonder people 173 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: are confused. I think they did frighten a bunch of 174 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: elderly Americans into thinking something was going to happen with 175 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: their social security and I think when they realized that 176 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: that actually hasn't happen and they've been getting their checks 177 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: or their deposits, they didn't know what they were doing 178 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: out there. But maybe they met some nice new young 179 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: people and talked about knitting. All right. Finally, Rob your 180 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: fine publication. The Daily Signal has a new piece out 181 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: about how the mainstream media has been really pushing tirelessly 182 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: to try to get everyone to accept the idea and 183 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: mainstream the idea of boys and girls' locker rooms even 184 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: older than boys just basically trans athletes, and really trying 185 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: to mainstream it. I mean, you look at every poll 186 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: and a very very strong majority of the American people 187 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: aren't going for it. So you could say, hey, this 188 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: campaign isn't working. But at the same time, you can say, well, 189 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: and now you see why they're trying to do it. 190 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: They're trying to push back. I mean, they're trying to 191 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: really push that boulder up the hill. I wonder if 192 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: you can tell us some of the things that really 193 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: stood out to you in this particular piece. 194 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and my colleague Peter Parisi there, who you have 195 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 3: on screen, decided that he wanted to document this because, 196 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: I mean, it is just the bias that you see 197 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 3: in the news media on this issue, particularly at the 198 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: Washington Post being one of the examples that he cites 199 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: in the story, is just consistent. And it has been 200 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: that way for probably the last decade. It was about 201 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: ten years ago then we started to see this trend 202 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 3: of really pushing this idea of transgenderism to be a 203 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 3: mainstream issue. And I think what President Trump has done 204 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 3: with his executive order banning men from competing in girls' 205 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 3: sports is probably one of the most popular things that 206 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: he's accomplished in these less than one hundred days as president. 207 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 3: And that's because I think that even if you are 208 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: a Democrat, you recognize the inherent unfairness. Now, this does 209 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 3: not translate though, when it comes to media coverage. We've 210 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: found consistently, including in this article, that the news media 211 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: will take the side of those transgender athletes, even if 212 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: it means that there are women who are losing out 213 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 3: on opportunities. And we've covered so many of these stories 214 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: at the Daily Signal, Jake, that is just really it's 215 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 3: truly sad that they are missing out on scholarships, they're 216 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 3: missing out on metals, they're missing out even you know, 217 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 3: frankly competing in finals because they don't make the cut 218 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: because there's a male athlete who takes that spot. And 219 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 3: so I don't expect this to change in terms of 220 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: the news coverage. I think that this is why Americans 221 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 3: are probably tuning out a lot of these publications and 222 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 3: looking for alternatives like yours and ours. 223 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And the thing that really strikes me is that 224 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: this has to be a coordinated effort. When you see 225 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: that the people aren't accepting it for year after year 226 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: after year, and you're still pushing it. I smell a rat, 227 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: I smell cutter. I smell some other people who are 228 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: paying these organizations, either directly or indirectly to take this 229 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: unpopular stance. But it's actually not unpopular with the New 230 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: York Jets. They've embraced the whole idea of taking a 231 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: disadvantage and losing and loving that. So other than the Jets, 232 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's loving this. Rob Leuie, thanks so 233 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: much for joining us, and have a great week. 234 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: Thanks Jake, you too. 235 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: All right, coming up, we always knew that Iran was 236 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: at least indirectly responsible for the October seventh Commas attacks 237 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: on Israel, but now we have evidence it wasn't just direct, 238 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: it was on demand. But leave it to people like 239 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer to think there are enough New Yorkers and 240 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: others who are completely uninformed about a shameful record on 241 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: Iran and anti Semitism. Unfortunately for him and his moronic 242 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: staffers who texted me yesterday, I'm not one of them. 243 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: I'll share the whole story with you when American Sunrise 244 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: early edition comes right back. That's the Dallas skyline this morning. 245 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: You know it's not Wall Street, but they're looking at 246 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: oil prices going down below sixty bucks overnight. I think 247 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: we're right at sixty dollars right now. I bet you 248 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: that's what everyone in Dallas is talking about right now. Yeah, 249 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: there we go, oh sixty forty nine. Thank you controlling 250 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: for throwing that up. We're gonna be showing you that 251 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: every once in a while. Close your eyes if you 252 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: don't like to see it. Although actually it's better than 253 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: it was overnight. We were at fourteen down overnight on 254 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: the Dow futures. Now it's seven sixty eight, so we've 255 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: kind of cut that in half. I don't know if 256 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: that trend's going to continue, but it's better if it 257 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: showed a few hours ago, it would have been worse. 258 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: All right. 259 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. 260 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining me, especially those watching 261 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: and commenting. We allow comments. This is an interactive program 262 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: on Getter and Rumble. After a series of massive rainstorms 263 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: and even tornadoes ripping across much of the Southwest and 264 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: south and the Midwest, not the Southwest, the South and 265 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: the Midwest over the weekend, forecasters say flooding could persist 266 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: for days as torrential rains linger over many states, including Kentucky, Tennessee, 267 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: and Alabama. Tornadoes are still possible in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. 268 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: Be careful out there, it has been Some people are 269 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: calling it once in a generation storms. Feels like we 270 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: get them all the time. But they say these were 271 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: very intense, all right? 272 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: Is really? 273 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: Defense Minister esra Al Katz revealed the document yesterday showing 274 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: that Hamas requested five hundred million dollars from Iran back 275 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, promising to use the money to 276 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: destroy Israel by twenty twenty three. Of course, that money 277 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: was indeed used to plan and carry out the massive 278 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: terrorist attack on October seventh, twenty twenty three. As the 279 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: primary sponsor for Ramas. For decades, it was always known 280 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: that Tehran at least indirectly planned and funded October seventh, 281 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: but this much of a blatant and direct Iranian involvement 282 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: was not publicly known until now. Now that brings me 283 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: to this surprising text message I got from New York 284 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: Senator and Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer yesterday. It tells 285 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: me that I should thank Chuck Schumer for standing up 286 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: for the Jewish community and standing up for Israel against 287 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders or something like that. Well, folks, this really 288 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: really got me. Chuck Schumer is a huge reason why 289 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: the Iran deal happened, why Iran had that five hundred 290 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: million dollars and a lot more to give Ramas you 291 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: might remember back in twenty fifteen, Schumer voted against the 292 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: Iran deal, but work behind the scenes to allow the 293 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: other Democrats in his head caucus, especially Kirsten gillibrand his 294 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: fellow switor from New York and people like Cororey Booker. 295 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: He allowed them to vote for the deal. He could 296 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: have held it up, he didn't. In other words, he's 297 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: a huge reason why the Iran deal happened, and then 298 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: worse when all the anti Semitic attacks started happening on 299 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the college campuses last year and the year before. It 300 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: has now documented that Chuck Schumer told Columbia, told Harvard 301 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: told some of those universities don't do anything because only 302 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: the Republicans care about anti Semitism. There is the Yiddish 303 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: word for someone who acts like that. It's called chutzpa. 304 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: The guy has tremendous nerve to send text messages all 305 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: over New York asking Jewish voters and people who support 306 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: Israel to thank him, thank him for what He's a 307 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: huge reason why October seventh happened. His betrayal is historic, 308 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to let him get away with it. Hey, 309 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer staffers, don't send me any text messages anymore. 310 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: You guys need to update your mailing list, all right? 311 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: Coming up? Prince had that great hit years ago, when 312 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: Doves Cry. I remember that song. What does it sound 313 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: like when Wall Street cries? It sounds a lot like 314 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: what you've been hearing the last few days. You're gonna 315 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: hear about it more in the hour or so, or 316 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: I guess two hours or so. When the markets open. 317 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: I'll have the latest on the futures and where they're 318 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: looking at in just a moment. And Chrysler Jeep and 319 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: Dodge Parents Delantis of that four company, Stilantis. It's following 320 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: Ford's footsteps in response to the tariffs. Don't go into 321 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: the dealer until you find out more when American Sunrise 322 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Early Edition continues right now. Neighborhood ballparks are the best. 323 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: Put them in neighborhoods. Please don't put them off an 324 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: exit ramp on a highway. Wrigleyfield Fenway Park, Wriggley is 325 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: the best of the neighborhood parks. You just need to 326 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: see that whole area around Wriggleyfield if you've never been there. 327 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: The entire neighborhood dedicated to it. In the summer, it 328 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: is so much fun. Here's something that it's not so 329 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: much fun. Let's take a look at where the markets 330 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: are going to begin today. Hey, actually, look at this. 331 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: We're only only six hundred and fifty two points down 332 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: on the Dow futures right now. Now I'm not joking. We 333 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: were down more than fourteen hundred points overnight on the Dow. 334 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: So I think that some bargain hunters are coming in. 335 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: They're looking at the prices of some of these stocks 336 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: and saying, I can't keep my hands off of that. 337 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: But look at gold. Gold is up this morning. It 338 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: is only down a very little bit since this whole 339 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: tariff thing started. I'll talk more about gold in a moment, 340 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: but you gotta love that. And I also love to 341 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: seeing crude oil prices Sorry Dallas, sorry Houston. I like 342 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: seeing crude oil prices down that there because I want 343 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: to see my gas prices go down even more. But 344 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: I know it'll come back. Now, let's look at bitcoin. 345 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: Bitcoin has not been immune from all of this. It 346 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: is all the way down to the seventy seven thousand 347 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: dollars mark. But again, if you're one of those people 348 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: who thinks that bitcoin's going to two hundred thousand a million, 349 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: this is a buying opportunity. If you have the money 350 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: to buy, don't go use your credit card, don't borrow 351 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: from your brother. But you get my point. So the 352 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency is also taking a hit, not so much as 353 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: bad as the rest of the markets, though. All right, Well, 354 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: at least we know the Trump team really does believe 355 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: in free speech. White House Counselor to the President Peter 356 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: Navarro and Elon Musk expressed some differing opinions let's just 357 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: say about Taris yesterday, and they included a Musk jab 358 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 1: about Navarro's alma mater. Musk talked about how Navarro went 359 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: to grad school at Harvard, and he brought up a 360 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: quote about how every bad policy in America has somebody 361 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: from Harvard connected to it. I'm in favor of Harvard bashing, 362 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: but clearly there is definitely some disagreement in this cabinet. 363 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: Howard Lutnik also has different things to say about taris. 364 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: The clarity on the tariffs is completely clear to the 365 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: companies and to the importers and exporters. But for Wall Street, 366 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: they're looking for some clarity. I think they're going to 367 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: get it in the coming weeks. I can't believe this 368 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: is going to stay the way it is for very long. 369 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: As soon as we get some trade deals made, that's 370 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: when I think we'll start seeing some positives in the market. 371 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: But you know what, again, a little bit of pain. 372 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: That's what President Trump's talking about. All right, here's a 373 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: story you may have missed. With all of the tarre 374 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: off tumult dominating the news, President Trump did indeed expand 375 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: the deadline for TikTok to either sell itself off to 376 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: a non Chinese government controlled owner or shut down completely. 377 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: That deadline was supposed to be Saturday. The White House 378 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: gave TikTok, the parent company of TikTok It's a Chinese 379 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: company called Byte Dance, an additional seventy five days to 380 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: seal a deal. There are reports that President Trump is 381 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: hoping to make a new trade deal with China that 382 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: would include something about TikTok. So in other words, any 383 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of trade deal with China will have a TikTok 384 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: deal put into it. And listen, TikTok is a very 385 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: valuable property. Don't laugh that that would be part of 386 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: a whole international trade deal because it is that influential 387 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: and it is that valuable. Love it or hate it, 388 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if I love it or hate it. 389 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes I like it, sometimes I hate it. But it 390 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: is worth a lot of money and powerful. I'm not 391 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: denying that, all right. They told us those big protest 392 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: rallies against President Trump elon Musk Saturday were about well 393 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: what were they about exactly? Something about telling Musk and 394 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: Trump to take their hands off the constitution, something like that. 395 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: That didn't really make sense. Our David Zeer went out 396 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: to talk to some of those demonstrators on Long Island, 397 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: and let's just say he didn't encounter the most air 398 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: udet of individuals all day. Here's one interaction. 399 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 4: You don't think the federal government's bloated. 400 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: It could be, but from what you think. 401 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 4: Government is bloated over a private sector? 402 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 5: Private sector business is onwn tolerate. 403 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 4: Ways, so they would go out of business. What about 404 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 4: the post office? They lose like what twelve billion a years. 405 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: Certainly that organization is self funded. 406 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 6: Well yeah, self fund still really is self government centric. 407 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 4: But yeah, I got it. 408 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: Again, that's your opinion. 409 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, health post Office has been around for him in 410 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: the beginning, from the seventeen hundred. Yeah, so it's not 411 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: very efficient. Uh, fact check. The Post Office is not 412 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: self funded. That's the lie they keep telling us over 413 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: and over again. The Post office biggest liability, in other words, 414 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: the biggest bill they have to pay every single day 415 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: is their pensions, and the federal government pays those pensions. 416 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: To say that the Post Office is self funded is 417 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: like saying my eleventh grader is self funded, which because 418 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: she buys her own lunch at school. That's the most 419 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I'm so tired of that lie, 420 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: and you can see how many people are brainwashed by it. 421 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: Breaking point with David Zeer. God to give them a 422 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: lot of credit for going out there and talking to 423 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: those folks. That airs every Saturday, eight am Eastern time 424 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: here on Real America's Voice. Okay, time to clear our 425 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: heads and let's take a drive. Well, so much for 426 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: the International labor movement. The Canadian branch of the UAW 427 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: it's known as unifor by the way, I don't know 428 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: if I like that name. They have officially come out 429 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: stating that they are opposed to the Trump tariffs. That's 430 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: despite the very strong support those same tariffs have from 431 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: the UAW here in the United States. It looks like 432 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: the old union solidarity slogan might soon be changed to 433 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 1: every man for himself. All kidding aside, this is one 434 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: of my biggest problems with unions now. In the days 435 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: before we had personal injury lawyers and labor lawyers, I 436 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: really think we had a need for unions in this 437 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: country just to protect the safety and well being of workers. 438 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know if you've turned on 439 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: the TV or listen to the radio lately, there are 440 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: lawyers literally begging people who have been heard at work 441 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: in any way whatsoever to call them. So I'm not 442 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: so sure we need unions for that anymore. We also 443 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: have a problem with unions in that they put a 444 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: ceiling over how much you can achieve if you're a 445 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: really great worker, and a basement under how much you 446 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: can be punished or gotten rid of if you're a 447 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: really terrible worker. And we're seeing what's going on right now. 448 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: If you're an American worker working here in the United States, 449 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: you are part of an international union that has people 450 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: who are just as happy to see your job go 451 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: away and go to their country. This doesn't make sense. 452 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: Unions as they exist today don't make sense for the workers, 453 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: don't make sense for young people who might want to 454 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: get into a trade. Have said this over and over again, 455 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: and this latest rift between the UAW here and the 456 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: United States and their brothers in Canada and Uniform is 457 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: just another example. This doesn't work. We need to find 458 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: a new way to help our workers, not only train them, 459 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 1: but then protect them. The lawyer's got the protection part. 460 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: Now let's work on the training part, all right. The 461 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: big auto company management, however, is being pretty together on this. 462 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: There's solidarity in the Detroit c suites, at least when 463 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: it comes to certain pricing. Now, last week I told 464 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: you about how Forward announced that it was going to 465 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: extend employee pricing discounts to everyone, you and me, anyone 466 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: else who walks in that dealership as a way to 467 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: defray the added costs of the tariffs. In fact, some 468 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: people calculated that the employee pricing discount will completely negate 469 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: the added prices that some tariffs would have added to 470 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: Ford cars, So you're not getting any discount, but you're 471 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: avoiding that added cost. So now the parent company of Chrysler, 472 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: Jeep and Dodge, that's a company called Stilantis, is doing 473 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: the same thing. Now with Stilantis, your discounts may vary 474 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: because they have many more cars and trucks that are 475 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: susceptible to the tariff byite than FOD does. In other words, 476 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: they have a lot of other cars and trucks that 477 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: are made overseas or have massive amounts of parts overseas. 478 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 1: So you're still gonna get some relief from the tariff 479 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: added on price, but not as much as Ford. So again, 480 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: choose wisely. In my neighborhood here on Long Island, this 481 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: entire area, they love Jeep. I don't think they would 482 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: ever sit in the Chrysler or even look at a 483 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: Dodge Ram unless they were working in a blue collar job. 484 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people like that here 485 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: on Long Island. But the average car buyer, vehicle buyer 486 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: here on Long Island only buys Jeeps, and they're probably 487 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: getting some sticker shock right now. If they wanted to 488 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: buy something for the spring and summer. All right, in 489 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: the age of the Internet, massive oceans between truck fans 490 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: and the trucks they want just aren't enough, because the 491 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: Internet shows us what we want. It has been just 492 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: a few months since US fans of the Ford Ranger 493 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: truck saw the video this video of the new Ford 494 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: Rangers Super Duty model that's only available in Australia right now. Well, now, 495 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: fans of that stronger model here in the US want 496 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: to see it sold here in the US, with one 497 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: Gearhead magazine even calling Ford cowards for not doing so. Hey, Ford, 498 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: give the people what they want. This is a bad, 499 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: bad truck man in a good way. I mean that 500 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: in a good way. It is a bad truck and 501 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: people want it all right. Now, for the dark side 502 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: of car ownership, I hate this story, but I also 503 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: love it. The owner of a twenty twenty four Kia 504 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: EV six wind and yes that is an electric car 505 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: is suing Kiya parent Hyundai now because he's had to 506 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: have his cars twelve volt battery replaced four times, just 507 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: forty five hundred miles into his ownership. Four times. He's 508 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: hoping to use several states in this country, which is 509 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: called a lemon law. He's hoping to use that lemon 510 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: law as part of his lawsuit. Now, most kia EV's 511 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: delivered in the United States come stand with a traditional 512 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: lead asset twelve vault battery rather than the AGM battery 513 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: that stands for absorbed glass matter batteries glass map batteries. 514 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: They're generally considered to be far superior. So maybe kia 515 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: wants to make that change now before another guy sues 516 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: him for having to replace his battery four times. It's 517 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: called caveat m tour.

We'll look at the latest 541 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: developments when American Sunrise Early edition comes right back. It's Monday, 542 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: April seventh. Here this morning's top stories. Don't look down. 543 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: The soup markets are set for another steep drop when 544 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: trading resumes in at two hours, but President Trump urges 545 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: Americans to stay strong because he believes his tariffs will 546 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: strengthen the American economy. Overall, thousands of Americans came out 547 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: this weekend to attend so called hands off protests against 548 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: President Trump and Elon Musk. But it's not clear what 549 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: they wanted them not to touch. In fact, it's not 550 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: clear what they wanted at all. A new document proves 551 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: Iran directly paid Hamas five hundred million dollars to carry 552 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: out the October seventh attacks. Is this revelation yet another 553 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: precursor to some kind of strike against Tehran? And a 554 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: new document proves Iran paid Amas five hundred million dollars, 555 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: like I said, to carry that out? Hey, is this 556 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: something else that we could be worried about in the 557 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: coming days? You know where the big stories are. The 558 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: markets are looking ugly. Let's take a look at where 559 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: the markets are starting this morning. It looks bad. I'm 560 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: going to give you that that little bit of a precursor. 561 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: We are looking at now seven hundred and fourteen points 562 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: down on the Dow as we get started. It was 563 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: much worse overnight. We were at fourteen hundred down at 564 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: the I think the hype maybe even sixteen hundred down overnight. 565 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: But again, look at gold. Gold is up and that 566 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: should tell you something. That's really the only safe haven, 567 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: and the silver usually goes up when gold goes up, 568 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: so of course silver a little bit less so, but 569 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: look at that. Those are interesting numbers. All right, Sorry 570 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: for that little fumbled open there. Everyone, Welcome back to 571 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. You guys have 572 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: your heads on much straighter than mine right now, I'm sure. 573 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: And joining me now is professor and published writer Sierra Clair. 574 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: And Sierra, these are interesting times, to say the least 575 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: for the American economy. What's your impression of the panic 576 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: that we're seeing from Wall Street? And I would still 577 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: say it's relative calm on Main Street, but I wonder 578 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: what you're seeing and what you're hearing. 579 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks for having me. 580 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 7: You know, I focus a lot on national security, and 581 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 7: so when I'm hearing people talking about these tariffs, I 582 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 7: really was paying attention to what Secretary Besent said last week, 583 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 7: which is that this is a national security issue, and 584 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 7: in that way, I think people can be comforted because 585 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 7: this is ultimately a good thing. Obviously, right now we're 586 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 7: going through a rough patch with the stock markets, but 587 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 7: I think that especially on Main Street, people are feeling like, 588 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 7: you know, we're getting back to some security we didn't 589 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 7: have you know, as we saw during COVID, we didn't 590 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 7: have the capacity to manufacture things like life saving medicines, 591 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 7: and so I think that is going to be, you know, 592 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 7: something that really assures people and hopefully gets us through 593 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 7: this rough patch. I would also say that, you know, 594 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 7: to people who are crying about their stocks and these 595 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 7: rich Democrats who you know are coming out against tariffs, 596 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 7: the Democrats spent one hundred and seventy five billion American 597 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 7: tax payer dollars on a so called national security issue 598 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 7: called Ukraine, and we. 599 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 5: Still don't know where a lot of that money went. 600 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 7: So, you know, in my mind, I'm feeling like, you know, 601 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 7: when I hear these people that are coming out and 602 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 7: trying to create panic over this, I say crimea river 603 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 7: because you know, until you've lost personally one hundred and 604 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 7: seventy five billion dollars, because that's what was taken out 605 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 7: of the American economy, and that's what was taken from 606 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 7: the American people. 607 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll do you one better, Sierra, because you're talking 608 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: about the Democrats. The Democrats, as you say, uniformly against 609 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: these terrorists. I understand there's some members of the Michigan 610 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: delegation who are at least being quiet about it. But 611 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: just about every other Democrat elected is against these terrorists, 612 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: and they are singing a very different tune not that 613 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: long ago. I want you to check out this series 614 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: of just a few sound bites from big time Democrats, 615 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: and I want to get your comments on the other side. 616 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 8: Check it out right now, we have a thirty four 617 00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 8: billion dollar trade death. 618 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 5: Sit for with China. 619 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 8: The nineteen ninety five figure, it will be over forty 620 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 8: billion dollars for nineteen ninety six. 621 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 5: Since the Tenement Square. 622 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 8: Massacre, this figure has increased one thousand percent. 623 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: We need to. 624 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 2: Not worry about manufacturing in America because what we should 625 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: establish is a policy of unfitted free trade. 626 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: We don't need tariffs. 627 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 9: What we need is to allow corporate America the freedom, 628 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 9: the freedom to throw American work is out on the street. 629 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 9: People are making fifteen twenty twenty five bucks an hour, 630 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 9: healthcare pensions. Throw them out on the street because somehow, 631 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 9: man of President, we are going to create wealth in 632 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 9: America and good paying jobs in America. As we shut 633 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 9: down plans, we moved to China corporations there, hey workers 634 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 9: twenty thirty cents an hour, and we bring the product 635 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 9: back into this country. 636 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 4: It's also proper for advanced economies like the United States 637 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 4: and swift on resciprosily formations like China that are no 638 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 4: longer solely poor countries to make sure that they're providing 639 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 4: access to their markets and that they stop taking intellectual 640 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 4: property and having a service. 641 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean, are they now President Trump's speechwriters? I mean Pelosi, Sanders, Obama, Gcierra? 642 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: What what changed? What changed? 643 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: I mean? 644 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 5: This is classic Democrats. 645 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 7: First of all, they don't really have core beliefs, they 646 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,479 Speaker 7: have soundbites. So it's not surprising they've flipped the script 647 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 7: on tariffs just because Trump is doing them now. 648 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 3: You know. 649 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 7: But more importantly, I would say this shift fits into 650 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,239 Speaker 7: the overall narrative that the Democrat Party has adopted in 651 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 7: recent years, which is that they have such a disdain 652 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 7: for the American worker, you know, working class Americans. That's 653 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 7: what this overreaction to the tariffs really comes down to, 654 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 7: is that this is a good economic policy for working 655 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 7: Americans and the Democrats can't stand that for whatever reason. 656 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 7: So they really don't like half the country and they 657 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 7: don't even bother to hide it anymore. And that's why 658 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 7: their approval rating is now at an abysmal twenty one percent. 659 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: You know, I think some of this. You know, you 660 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: talked about the disdain, and I do think that there's 661 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: something related to this that has nothing to do with economics. 662 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: You have a Democratic elected party leaders who have been 663 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: calling so many voters in this country, including people who 664 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: voted for Barack Obama twice for president, calling them racists, 665 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: calling them bigots, calling them insensitive and hurtful and even 666 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: murderous for not supporting boys and girls' locker rooms, or 667 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: not supporting every single DEI program, and basically just absolutely 668 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: denigrating the voters. And listen, the rules and politics have 669 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: been the same for a long time. You can say 670 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: the nastiest stuff you want about the people running for 671 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: office and the elected leaders. But somewhere around twenty sixteen, 672 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: with the deplorables comment from Hillar Clinton, the Democrats started 673 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: to actually bash the other side's voters. By the way, 674 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: don't ever do that. And here's where you have what's 675 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: going on here. I think that there are a lot 676 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: of people voting and more importantly elected Democrats who don't 677 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: like those people are who have been hurt by the 678 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: trade and balance, and so they're having a hard time 679 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,959 Speaker 1: standing up for them. So it's not just because of Trump. 680 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,479 Speaker 1: It's not because they just say whatever Trump says is wrong. 681 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: It's also because what you said, I think that they 682 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: have disdain for that middle of the country. Listen, you 683 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: can't call people a bunch of racist and bigots for 684 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: too long before you really start to hate them. Well, 685 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: speaking of people who come out and hate, we saw 686 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: those hands off protests in a number of cities over 687 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: the weekend. The numbers were big. And the reason why 688 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: I give them credit because I think there were a 689 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: lot of paid for protesters. A couple of people on 690 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: the Getter chat reminding me that of that, and they're 691 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: exactly right. But hey, they put their money and they 692 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: got people to show up. Sometimes you can pay for 693 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: people to show up and they still don't show up. 694 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: But I get that they don't like President Trump. I 695 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 1: get that they personally don't like Elon Musk. But other 696 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: than their disdain those two guys, I didn't detect a 697 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: real coherent message, did you. 698 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I really didn't. Didn't understand what this protest was about. 699 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 7: I mean, this hands off title is very unclear. There 700 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 7: have been no rights that have been taken away. So, 701 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 7: you know, in my mind, and I think in many Americans' minds, 702 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 7: these people have lost credibility. Their their message doesn't make 703 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 7: any sense. And they also they have used, as you mentioned, 704 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 7: these strategies of you know, bussing people in, having paid protesters, 705 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 7: So I think they really lost a lot of credibility 706 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 7: by doing that, and you know, using these protests to 707 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 7: stoke division and hatred. 708 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 5: And the other thing I would say is that. 709 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 7: You know, recent polls show that seventy five percent of 710 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 7: Americans do support dog So that's another reason that really 711 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 7: makes you wonder, why are what are these people even 712 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 7: talking about? 713 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, these protests? 714 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 7: You know, have you seen some of these videos online 715 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 7: of this cringe, fake acting. 716 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 5: This is twenty twenty five and nobody's buying it. 717 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: Well, you know, they were also for as far as 718 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: people coming out, even on a weekend, they were a 719 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: much older crowd. And so what I think happened is, 720 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: in addition to being some people who were paid to 721 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,280 Speaker 1: show up there, I think that a message went around, 722 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: either by text message or by email or word of 723 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: mouth that something was happening to social Security, that your 724 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,439 Speaker 1: social Security check wasn't going to come. Of course, that's 725 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: not true. That's probably what motivated these people in their 726 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 1: sixties and their seventies to come out. In some places 727 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: the weather wasn't that great, but where the weather was good, 728 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: they had some big crowds. It sounds like, Sierra, this 729 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: was a big misinformation campaign. And so when they finally 730 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: got out on the streets and couldn't claim that they've 731 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: been missing any social Security checks lately, they were confused. 732 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: I hope someone got them home safely. That's all I 733 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: can say. But Sierra, all joking aside, we did get 734 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 1: something meaningful this weekend, Israel's defense ministry. You so for all. 735 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: Katz produced the document showing that Iran got a request 736 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: from Hamas back in twenty twenty one for five hundred 737 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: million dollars, and Kamas said that they would destroy Israel 738 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: if they got that money by twenty twenty three. Sure enough, 739 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: October seventh, twenty twenty three, they tried to destroy all 740 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: of Israel. They got a lot further than anyone thought. 741 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 1: They could have a pretty the most devastating attack terrorist attack, 742 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: as far as numbers are concerned, in history. But my goodness, 743 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: how do you expect the Trump administration to respond to 744 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: something like this. This is a direct document. This isn't 745 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: just oh, world, we'll help you and back you up. 746 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: This is here's the money, go do this. 747 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,919 Speaker 7: This is pretty bad, Yes, this report is pretty bad. 748 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 7: I mean, this is you know, a clear and present danger, 749 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 7: an attack on democracy. And you know, the through Biden's appeasement, 750 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 7: the sanctions against Iran were lifted, and Iran has I mean, 751 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 7: the Iranian regime made close to one hundred billion dollars 752 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 7: from oil sales during the Biden years, and so that 753 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 7: built up their influences and their military capabilities through their 754 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 7: proxy groups throughout the region. And you know, honestly, we 755 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 7: don't even know the true figure of some of that 756 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 7: because our government was so dysfunctional under the Biden administration 757 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 7: that a lot of the sanctions that were on the 758 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 7: books weren't being enforced consistently. 759 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: You know. 760 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 7: So Trump has brought back the maximum pressure campaign, and 761 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 7: that is a crucial first step. So I think they're 762 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 7: I think they're doing very well with that. I mean, 763 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 7: they were left a mess and and they're doing very 764 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 7: well and cleaning it up so far. But this is 765 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 7: you know, the classic Democrat foreign policy playbook that we've 766 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 7: seen over and over again with Obama and then Biden, 767 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 7: you know, apology tours, appeasement, and ending the maximum pressure 768 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,359 Speaker 7: campaign that Trump had put in place in his previous term. 769 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 7: So the thing is, we know this doesn't work. They 770 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 7: come in, they they have the same old story. They 771 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 7: want to, you know, help the people of Iran. They 772 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 7: want to use diplomacy, they want to build up the 773 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 7: economy and see if Iran can become less hostile. You know, 774 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 7: we know that all this doesn't work because the Iranian 775 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 7: regime just steals all that money and uses it to 776 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 7: fund terror and and that's how we got October seventh. 777 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 7: So the people of Iran never see a dime of 778 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 7: that money. And even before Trump re instituted the maximum 779 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 7: pressure campaign, the Iranian economy was a mess. It was 780 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:38,720 Speaker 7: horrendous for the average Iranian with you know, runaway inflation, 781 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 7: people not able to afford food. So the regime takes 782 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 7: any money they get and they just use it to 783 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:54,479 Speaker 7: fund violence and destabilize the region. Yeah exactly, I think. 784 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: Yes, Sorry sorry to cut you ever, running out a 785 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: little bit of time, but thank you so much for 786 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: joining us, and you made a very good point there. 787 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: This was an Obama and Biden administration. They knew all 788 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: along with this money would go to and now we 789 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: have direct evidence. Thank you so much for joining us. 790 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 1: I have a great rest of your week, Seric Claire, 791 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you. All right. I know it's all 792 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 1: about the markets and tariffs today in all the big 793 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: news sites, but there's gonna be another big story at 794 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day that, believe it or not, 795 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 1: could become the number one story of the day. David 796 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 1: Brodie's gonna come and talk to me about it when 797 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:48,399 Speaker 1: American Sunrise early edition comes right back, because a live 798 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: shot of Cleveland, Ohio, yet another one of the cities 799 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: I used to live in. And by the way, if 800 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,320 Speaker 1: you are complaining about the tariffs and complaining about what 801 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: it's doing to your four oh one k and you've 802 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,479 Speaker 1: never lived in a blue collar city, I ever worked 803 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,479 Speaker 1: in a blue collar job, don't talk. Just don't talk, 804 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: as you come off like a white collar elitist. I 805 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: lived in Cleveland, worked in Cleveland, lived in Decatur, Illinois, 806 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: worked in Decatur, lived in Bangor Main. I'm not sure 807 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 1: that gives me the authority to speak, but it gives 808 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: me a little bit more authority than someone who's never 809 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 1: been off of Wall Street. 810 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 3: Right. 811 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. 812 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: David Rody's going to join me now. Now, look, we 813 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit in the last segment, 814 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: but we didn't talk about the major headline, which is 815 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 1: that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Desanya, who is in the 816 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: United States already. He came yesterday. He's meeting with President 817 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: Trump at the Oval Office. Some of you were saying, 818 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: wait a minute, didn't he just come and do that, 819 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: And the answer is yes, he was just here, and 820 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: so that tells you something. In my opinion, David, They're 821 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: not going to be talking about Gaza. They're not even 822 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: going to be talking about Gaza and Tarifs. They will 823 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: a little bit, but that's not why he's come back 824 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: so quickly. There's one word, and there's one reason why 825 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: he's back here so quickly, and that word is Iran. 826 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: Oh one hundred percent, Jake. 827 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 6: I mean, you know you don't have to be a 828 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 6: rocket scientist to figure that one out. 829 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a no brainer. 830 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 6: And look, they will spin it as he's here to 831 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 6: talk about tariffs and Gaza. Okay, they're gonna have a 832 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 6: little bit of that discussion. No, Look, you don't come 833 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 6: back and fly in essence, halfway around the world to 834 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 6: come over here to the United States and to the 835 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 6: White House to talk about tariffs. 836 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: This just and you can do that. 837 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 6: On the phone, So give me a break. Look, the 838 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 6: truth of the matter is here we are. We're at 839 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 6: a critical juncture with Iran. I mean, you know the deal, Jake, right, 840 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 6: I mean, Israel wants to strike them. They've been wanting 841 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 6: to strike Iran for a very long time, and I'm 842 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 6: talking about. 843 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 1: Specifically their nuclear facilities. 844 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,240 Speaker 6: They've they've gotten rid of the defense systems there in Israel, 845 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,280 Speaker 6: and then you got Syria is a mess with Bashar 846 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 6: al Asad gone, so there's instability there. You got the 847 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 6: Hamas and Hezballah weakened. I mean, it seems like the 848 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 6: perfect time to do this. The problem, Jake, and I 849 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 6: think maybe this is part of the reason for the 850 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 6: meeting where they have to have a head to head, 851 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,760 Speaker 6: is that Donald Trump's position himself as the peace president, 852 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 6: and though he's talked tough on Iran, the truth of 853 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 6: the matter is he'd rather do this economically, not militarily, 854 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 6: and I think that where that could be, where the 855 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 6: rubber meets the road, we'll see. 856 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that I would certainly want it to be economically. 857 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,280 Speaker 1: And as again we talked about with the last guest, 858 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: the question is did Obama and Joe Biden put us 859 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 1: in such a bad position economically by giving and allowing 860 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: so much money to go to Iran that it's irreversible now. 861 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: But the other thing I want to let everyone know 862 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: about is that there have been now two earthquakes reported 863 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: in the region of Iran where we know they have 864 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 1: the nuclear weapons or they're working on the nuclear weapons. 865 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: That says to me that they've tested those weapons, they 866 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,240 Speaker 1: weren't really earthquakes, and that to me is an urgent 867 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: red flag that would definitely produce the situation where the 868 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: President calls it and it's Onowen says we need to 869 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: speak one on one again, not confirmed, but there are 870 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 1: two reports of earthquakes just in the last couple of 871 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: weeks in that specific region. To me, that's got to 872 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 1: be a nuclear test. I hope I'm wrong, and I 873 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 1: agree with you. I really don't want any any strikes 874 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: at all. Not Israeli and certainly not America and on Iran. 875 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: But the question is are we are we too late? 876 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: Are we too late that are Obama and Biden give 877 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:05,720 Speaker 1: them too much money? 878 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, we may be too late or you know that 879 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 6: that's the concern. And we know, and I know Israel's 880 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 6: been saying this for a while about you know, Iran. 881 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: Is very close to getting a nuclear weapon X Y 882 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: and Z. 883 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 6: Well, look we know that just from an intelligence standpoint 884 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 6: within Israel's intelligence system. 885 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: They say it's within a week. They believe it'll be 886 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:25,879 Speaker 1: within a week. 887 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 6: I think that's the reason for the visit for sure. 888 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, well the markets are really down and 889 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: Iran's got a nuclear weapon. Have a nice day, everybody, 890 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: Mary Sunrise, the big show is coming up.
