1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Ahead on an American Sunrise Early Edition. The first cabinet meeting 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: of the new Trump team will be remembered for our 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: heartfelt prayer and the words of someone who isn't even 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: in the cabinet officially. But that's all part of the 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: very different group in charge right now. Another day, another 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: sign the Doge team is just getting started. Federal agencies 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: are getting warned to prepare for many more layoffs, and 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: agency chiefs are being advised on how to carry them out. 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: The Trump team wants to get a handle on just 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: how many illegal aliens there are in this country and 11 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: who they are. Perhaps the very suggestion of documenting their 12 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: numbers will encourage more self deportation. But leave it to 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: the businessman Donald Trump to try to make a dent 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: in the national debt. In this area. The President is 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: calling for a program that will allow wealthy want to 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: be American citizens to pay big Bucks to get a pass. 17 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: And instead of calling inflation transitory like the last White 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: House team, the Trump administration is implementing a plan that 19 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: should at least provide temporary relief on egg prices.

Eduardo Nehrett. He's 45 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: a conservative columnist, a political commentator, and the author of 46 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: the NERET Files. On substack and Eduardo, let's start with 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: Elon Musk's defense of the very simple request of all 48 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: federal workers to send an email and to basically prove 49 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: that they're working at all. Listen to this. 50 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 3: I think that email apps was best to interpreted as 51 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: a performance review, but actually it was a pulse check review. 52 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: Do you have you've a pulse and too neurons, So 53 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 3: if you have a pass in to a neurons, you 54 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 3: can reply to an email. 55 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: This is, you know, I think, not a high bar. 56 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. 57 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: This should be anyone could accomplish this. But what we 58 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: all try to get to the bottom of is we 59 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 3: think there are a number of people on the government 60 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: payroll who are dead, which is probably why they can't respond, 61 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: and and some people who are not real people like 62 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 3: the literally fictional individuals that are collecting paycheck. Well some 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: of these collecting paychecks are a fictional individual. So we're 64 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: just literally trying to figure out all these people real. 65 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: Are they alive? 66 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: And can they right an email, which I think is 67 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: a reasonable expectation for the You know, the American public 68 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: would have at least that expectation of someone in the 69 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: public center. 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: Edward, are you as amused as I am by the 71 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: hysterical response to this email requirement? I mean, critics are 72 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: acting like this is a human rights violation. 73 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 4: Well, number one, you know what else needs a pulse check? 74 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 5: All the dead people on Social Security and medicare so 75 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 5: I hope must gets to the boom that do. 76 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 4: But this story is amazing, right. 77 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 5: I think most Trump supporters knew that Musk was going 78 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 5: to be involved in his administration. 79 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: They both made that very clear before he ran. 80 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 5: But even I didn't think muskle was going to be 81 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 5: there every single day living in DC. 82 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 4: And I'm great. I'm happy to. 83 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 5: See his commitment to this movement, his commitment to cutting waste, fraud, 84 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 5: and abuse from the federal government. And so you have 85 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 5: him on one hand, again Elon Musk doing this for free, 86 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 5: sharing his skills, sharing his expertise. And then on the 87 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 5: other hand, you have hundreds of thousands of federal workers, 88 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 5: many of whom make six figures, many of whom we 89 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 5: don't even know what they did last week. 90 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 4: They don't even know what they did last week. They 91 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: can't tell us. 92 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 5: And the Democrats are outraged about the former about a 93 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 5: guy who is doing this for free, one of the 94 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 5: most skilled individuals in this country, contributing his time and 95 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 5: doing this. They are not interested in looking at hundreds 96 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 5: of thousands of people who are in effect, again, if 97 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 5: you're not really doing anything, if you're not producing anything 98 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 5: for the American people, you are in effect stealing from them. 99 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 5: It is a Democrat government gravy train. And it's amazing 100 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 5: to see that this is where their priorities are. And 101 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 5: so what so he was at the cabinet meeting and 102 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 5: he spoke and that's some sort of crime. Now, I mean, 103 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 5: the Democrats need to get used to this. They lost 104 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 5: an election. This is how it's going to be. And 105 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 5: so them crying about this for two years until the 106 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 5: midterms isn't going to get Musk out of there. 107 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 4: If they have specific issues that they. 108 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 5: Want to raise about what Musk is doing, about what 109 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 5: Trump is doing, they're welcome to make that case to 110 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 5: the American people and they can decide at the midterms. 111 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 5: But complaining that he's showing up at a meeting is 112 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 5: really showing you how low they've gone and how little 113 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 5: they have in their arsenal to stop Trump and message 114 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 5: against him. 115 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, honestly, isn't this the core of 116 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: what humanity is all about? Proving we exist? I email, 117 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: Therefore I exist, one of the reasons why I'm in 118 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: this business, for better for worse. There's a very high 119 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: number of documented things that I do every single day. 120 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: You don't like this show, that's fine, but I got 121 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: it documented. I sort of think I exist. My apologies 122 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: to the Greek philosophers who wouldn't take a video is 123 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: proofd But I just feel that way, all right, Eduardo. 124 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: Another hysterical reaction that's in motion right now is the 125 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: response to Homeland Security Chief Christy nomes announcement that the 126 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: Homeland Security Department is launching a database of all the 127 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: illegal aliens and asking them to register online as well. Now, 128 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: the pushback on this is that such act process could 129 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: be seen as intimidating or harassing the illegal aliens. Yeah, 130 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: that's the point, And isn't this kind of a policy 131 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: that's a great way to encourage self deportation without putting 132 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: anyone in including the illegal aliens in harm's way, physical 133 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: harms way. 134 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: You're absolutely right, it should be intimidating. 135 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 5: And by the way, it's my understanding that this program 136 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 5: is being created from a law that is already on 137 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 5: the books, which tells you that Congress wanted such a 138 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 5: program many years ago, and no president before Trump thought 139 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 5: of doing this. 140 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 4: I think it's a great idea, it's a great strategy. 141 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 5: Now, do I think millions of illegals are going to 142 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 5: come forward and register with the government. No, I mean 143 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 5: that's like thinking again that illegals are law abiding citizens. 144 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 5: By definition. These are people who are going to try 145 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 5: and skirt the law. But that's okay, because I don't 146 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 5: think that's the point of what this program is. I 147 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 5: think the Trump administration is creating this program for when 148 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 5: they ramp up deportations down the road. Now what do 149 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 5: I'm mean by that, Well, at a certain point, a 150 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 5: lot of whether it's judicial activist groups, whether it's judges 151 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 5: themselves the left, they're going to try to adjudicate a 152 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 5: lot of these deportations in court. It's also going to 153 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 5: be in the court of public opinion. And so when 154 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 5: that happens, the Trump administration wants to be able to say, look, 155 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 5: we gave these opportunity. We gave an opportunity to these 156 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 5: for these people to come forward and register with the 157 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 5: government as required by law. They fail to do so, 158 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 5: and therefore, by definition, they are in existing breaking our laws. 159 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 5: Not just the law that they broke many maybe many 160 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 5: years ago, maybe ten years ago by coming over, but 161 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 5: they are currently in violation of federal law. And that 162 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 5: is one of many reasons why we should send these 163 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 5: people home. 164 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 4: I think that's what they're doing this for. 165 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: And then of course you talk about the humane aspect 166 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 5: of it, which again. 167 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 4: You want to be able to do it humanly. 168 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 5: And maybe there is a message to a lot of 169 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 5: people out there. Look, if you come forward, we will 170 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 5: help you return to your home country. This doesn't have 171 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 5: to be difficult. But if you refuse to come forward, 172 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 5: we have no choice under the law but to make 173 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 5: it difficult, and we are not afraid to do so. 174 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: All right, EDWARDO, Now let's get creative. President Trump is 175 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: proposing a program where people who want to become American citizens, 176 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: including current illegal aliens, can pay millions of dollars for 177 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: a so called golden car to citizenship. You know what, Eduardo, 178 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: why the heck not. 179 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 4: Well? 180 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 5: Honestly, though I appreciate his creativity and trying to pay 181 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 5: off the national debt, I think this is a terrible idea. 182 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 4: The United States, our country. 183 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 5: Citizenship to our country is not something that should just 184 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 5: be sold off. There are millions of people, my ancestors included, 185 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 5: who fought for this country, who fought in every my answers, 186 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 5: were fought in every major war in this country's history 187 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 5: up until World War Two. And they didn't do that 188 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 5: so that some foreigner with money around the world, someone 189 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 5: in China, some rich Gulf Arab could come to this 190 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 5: country and buy their way in. They fought for their communities, 191 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 5: they fought for the values we have as a nation 192 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 5: and for our belief system. And I just think this 193 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 5: cheapens it too much. I mean, American citizenship has to 194 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 5: mean something. And what this really speaks to is a 195 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 5: larger problem with our immigration system right now, which is 196 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 5: that too many immigrants who come into this country, and 197 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 5: I've seen this firsthand living in Miami, Florida, they see 198 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 5: the United States as an economic tool from which to 199 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 5: extract value. The only reason they are here versus maybe 200 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 5: Europe or China or any other country. Is because they 201 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 5: feel that the United States is the place where they 202 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 5: can make the most country. There is no other loyalty, 203 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 5: there is no allegiance. They are here to make money. 204 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 4: That's it. 205 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 5: And I think that's a problem. You don't want an 206 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 5: immigration system based off that. Against Citizenship is not something 207 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 5: that we should sell off. We should not be cheapening 208 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 5: the value of what it means to be an American, 209 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 5: And unfortunately, I think that's all that this program would do. 210 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 5: Plus you look at the political implications. The last election 211 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 5: was decided in some of these swing states by less 212 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 5: than one hundred thousand votes. 213 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 4: So if you bring a million, two million. 214 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 5: Three million people under this program like Trump is talking about. 215 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 4: There are political implications here, their national security implications. 216 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 5: I think most of the people who have the money 217 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 5: to do this type of thing, they're going to be 218 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 5: rich Latin Americans, they're going to be rich Chinese, they're 219 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 5: gonna be wealthy Russians, Gulf Arabs. 220 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 4: And how do you vet these people? How do you 221 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: know that. 222 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 5: They're not coming to the United States for other purposes? 223 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 5: How do you prevent a Chinese comp I mean, a 224 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 5: spy from entering on such a program. 225 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 4: So I have a lot of issues with it. 226 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 5: I'm going to have to see how it's put forward 227 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 5: and how it's proposed, but under the way it's currently 228 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 5: been described, I am not a supporter of this program. 229 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: Well, you know, you make a good point, and I 230 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: think one of the other points is that I don't 231 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: know if we've done a good enough job telling our 232 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: own people what they should be proud of in America 233 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: other than trying to make a buck. I think that's 234 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: a job we need to right as well. By the way, hey, Eduardo, 235 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: you're a Florida resident, as you just mentioned, so I 236 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: want to get your reaction to Republican Florida Congressman Byron 237 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Donald's announcing that he's running for governor of the state 238 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: and he grabbed President Trump's endorsement already, this feels like 239 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: it could be a game changing candidacy if Byron Donalds 240 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: takes this thing and wins it. What are your feelings 241 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: about this. 242 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 5: Well, it's similar to it reminds me of DeSantis a 243 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 5: couple of years ago, in the sense that Byron Donald's 244 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 5: right now relatively unknown unless you're a diehard follower of 245 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 5: politics in the state of Florida or even nationally. If 246 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 5: you know him, it's from a rally or from some 247 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 5: of the TV appearances that he has done. And if 248 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 5: he wins, any candidate who wins is going to have 249 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 5: big shoes to fill in Florida DeSantis's. 250 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: Governorship I guess I would say, and I'm open right now. 251 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 5: I mean, any candidate who jumps in this race could 252 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 5: have my vote. I don't lean any which way. We 253 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 5: have to see who else is running. But I guess 254 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 5: as far as Donalds is concerned, one issue that I 255 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 5: have with him politically is he seems to make a 256 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 5: lot of decisions based on political expediency. 257 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 4: Now what do I mean by that? 258 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 5: A couple of years ago, Ronda Santis signed into law 259 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 5: in the state of Florida an education law that revamped 260 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 5: some of the state's education standards involving United States history. 261 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 4: And when he did that, the White House, Joe. 262 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 5: Biden, Kamala Harris, everyone on the left, MSNBC, Joy Reid 263 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 5: came out and smeared the state of Florida and Republicans 264 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 5: in the state as racist. Now what did Byron Donalds do? 265 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 5: He sided with them, He sided with the left. To 266 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 5: smear Republicans and voters in his own state as racist 267 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 5: for supporting this. 268 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 4: Law and the insight baseball. 269 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 5: And why he did that was he did it to 270 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 5: score cheap political points against DeSantis because Donalds was supporting 271 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 5: Trump in the primary. 272 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 4: I have no problem with that. I have no problem 273 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 4: with the fact that he supported Trump in the primary. 274 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 5: But to me, if you would go that low and 275 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 5: do some you know, take that line of attack that 276 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 5: is so despicable, pulling the race card, if you would 277 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 5: do that to score a cheap political point in a primary, 278 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 5: there's really no other low. I mean, there's no telling 279 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 5: what kind of low you would go to score other 280 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 5: types of political points. 281 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 4: So I have an issue with that. I don't forget that. 282 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 5: And then also when you look at some of the 283 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 5: other issues across the state, the entire left, the national 284 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 5: left has swooped into Florida over the last few years 285 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 5: on a number of different issues. 286 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 4: When Desandas was having his fight with Disney and even 287 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: this last. 288 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 5: Fault, when the abortion and the marijuana amendments were on 289 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 5: the ballot, which if passed, would have made Florida one 290 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 5: of the most liberal states in the nation in terms 291 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 5: of allowing unlimited abortion and basically unlimited weed use. 292 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 4: Yes, Donald's came out a couple. 293 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 5: Weeks before the election and said he opposed them, But 294 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 5: I don't remember seeing him out there fighting those fights, 295 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 5: on the front lines, really pushing hard to defeat those efforts. 296 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 4: And so again, what does it tell me? 297 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 5: He doesn't really have a history of jumping in and 298 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 5: taking a stand on an issue, even when it's seemingly unpopular. 299 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 4: Now, could he prove me wrong? 300 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 5: Could he be that candidate over the next two years 301 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 5: as he runs for the seat. Of course he can, 302 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 5: and I hope he does do prove me wrong. I 303 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 5: hope he does prove the people of the state of 304 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 5: Florida wrong. But outside of those areas, look, Donald's is 305 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 5: a run of the mill maga conservative that we've seen 306 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 5: these days, and he's a talented guy, and so I 307 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 5: think you'll have a pretty successful run. And we'll just 308 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 5: have to see what issues he runs on and how 309 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 5: he's able to convince the people of Florida from here 310 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 5: on out. 311 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: Okay, everyone, bottom line at Warder and Nerrette's endorsement ain't 312 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: easy to get, but if you get it, you should 313 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: be bad. Well done. Good analysis right there. All right, 314 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: Warder Nerette the Naret files on substack. Check it out, 315 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: and thanks so much for joining us. I'm going to 316 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: give you a and early have a good weekend to you. 317 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 4: Thanks so much, shake you too. 318 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: All right, coming up, I told you this Texas lottery 319 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: scandal was going to get bigger, and now it looks 320 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: like we're closer to a full blown investigation. In the meantime, 321 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: do not play these lottery games. You cannot win. I 322 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: will explain when we come back. And the facts never 323 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: seem to get in the way of one of the 324 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: oldest and most annoying Democrat talking points. Every time a 325 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: Republican is in the White House, President Trump may finally 326 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: put a stop to it. You'll see and hear it 327 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: for yourself when American Sunrise Early Edition comes right back 328 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: is a live shot of New York City this morning. 329 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: We've had some warmer weather here in New York lately. 330 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak, 331 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: and again a special welcome to those of you on 332 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: Getter and Rumble, the get Her chat talking about the 333 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: egg prices thing. We haven't even done that story yet. 334 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: I've already got some good insights from you, so thank 335 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: you so much. Hey, yesterday on this program, I first 336 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: told you about this brewing lottery scandal in the state 337 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: of Texas. I told you the story was going to 338 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: get bigger and will eventually become a national scandal. So far, 339 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: we're right on schedule. That's because Texas State Attorney General 340 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into these so called 341 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: lottery courier services that allow single entities to buy millions 342 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: of tickets with all the possible number combinations and guaranteed 343 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: wins for them. Then not you. Oh and this could 344 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: be used for money laundering too. By the way, now 345 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: it feels like all the politicians in Texas are weighing 346 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: in on this, including Texas State Representative Brian Harrison, who 347 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: had this to say to a Texas State lottery commissioner yesterday. 348 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 349 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 6: We got thirty million Texans we all serve, and they're 350 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 6: very sometimes split on whether we oppose or support legalized 351 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 6: gambling or gambling expansion. But I find it absolutely shocking 352 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 6: and outrageous of the state of Texas is in the 353 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 6: gambling business itself, just as a supporter of something I 354 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 6: like to call limited government principles. I have no idea 355 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 6: why the state of Texas is the biggest bookie within 356 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 6: our state, and quite frankly, we should abolish the lottery. 357 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 6: But I appreciate you being here to answer questions because 358 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 6: you exist. 359 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: Oh those are good points for Texas. But this is 360 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: going to be a national story because there's no way 361 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: that this is just happening in Texas. Thanks to these 362 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: courier services like Jackpocket, the technology and the means to 363 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: buy and print millions of tickets in a short amount 364 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: of time for a single customer or a single buyer 365 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: has arrived and this rigging operation can't possibly be going 366 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: on in just one state. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, do not 367 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: play state or nationwide lotto games. That's just my opinion 368 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: what I'm telling you right now. You cannot win, all right. 369 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: It also seems like Republicans can never win when it 370 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: comes to trying to cut spending in DC because inevitably 371 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: they are accused of cutting Medicare and Medicaid for Grandma 372 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: and all the poor. But President Trump isn't having it anymore. 373 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: Check out how he responded to that same old Democrat 374 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: talking point here can you. 375 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 7: Guarantee that Medicare, Medicaid, social Security will. 376 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: Not be touched? Yeah? I mean I have said it 377 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: so many times. 378 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 8: You shouldn't be asking me that question. Okay, So this 379 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 8: will not be read my lips. It won't be read 380 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 8: my lips anymore. We're not going to touch it now. 381 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 8: We are going to look for fraud. 382 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're okay with. 383 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 8: That, like people that shouldn't be all people that are 384 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 8: illegal Paalians and others, criminals and medicases, and that's with 385 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 8: Social Security. 386 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: We have a lot of people. 387 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 8: You see that immediately when you see people that are 388 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 8: two hundred years old that are being said checks with 389 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 8: Social Security, some of them are actually being said checks. 390 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 8: So we're tracing that down and I have a feeling 391 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 8: that Pam is going to do a very good job 392 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 8: with that. 393 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: But you have a lot of fraud and that No, 394 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: we're not doing anything. I don't worry the Democrats and 395 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: they're dishonest and not so smart. Allies in the mainstream 396 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: media will continue to push that narrative. But at least 397 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: now there's some good pushback, so we'll finally get somewhere. 398 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: All right, coming up, the LA wildfires may already be 399 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: affecting the price of new and used cars across America. 400 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: I will explain. 401 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 4: Baybay Reapa. 402 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 9: There is no gold in Akaba. 403 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 7: No gold. 404 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: The great Anthony Quinn and Lawrence of Arabia he was 405 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: angry about finding no gold in the Turk stronghold of 406 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: a Kabug. Imagine his rage if he could go on 407 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: that on site auditor Fort Knox. If we get one 408 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: and finds nothing there but an iou and a snow globe, 409 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: I'll break down why we need this audit now. When 410 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: American Sunrise early edition comes right back, that is the Dallas, Texas. 411 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: They call it the Metroplex. I like the better when 412 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: they call the DFW for Dallas Fort Worth. I don't 413 00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: think when we come up for these new names from 414 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: Chapolitan areas, is Dallas or DFW. 415 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 9: That's just me. 416 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at where the markets are going 417 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: to begin today. Looks like we're going to have a 418 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: little bit of a rebound, nothing too huge, but look 419 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: at that Nasdaq number almost almost a one percent higher 420 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: to start. I also want you to take a look 421 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: at gold. Gold is just now at the twenty nine 422 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: hundred mark, but it could go below that and crude 423 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: oil at sixty nine bucks. Now, let's take a look 424 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: at bitcoin. This is an interesting story. Everyone on bitcoin. 425 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: Bitcoin is at the well, that's a different number there 426 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: because it's it's definitely not a forty three thousand. There 427 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: you go. Bitcoin is at eighty six thousand right now, 428 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: up two thousand bucks since last night, all the way 429 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: down to eighty four thousand last night before it started 430 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: to rebound. If you're someone who believes that bitcoin's going 431 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: to soar well to something near a million dollars soon, 432 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: this is your chance to buy on the dip. But again, 433 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: it's at eighty six thousand. That graphic's going a little 434 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: funky for us. It's eighty six thousand right now. Okay, 435 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: the market is all about in Nvidia this morning. I 436 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: hate to bring up that nerdy sounding company, but big 437 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 1: in Nvidia. Vidia is that big chip company. Everyone on 438 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: Wall Street and anyone with the four oh one K 439 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: really should be concerned about what Nvidia does. It's the 440 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: big AI computer chip king, and it beat estimates on 441 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: profits and revenues for the Christmas quarter. Now Wall Street 442 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: was really ready to go seriously into the tank if 443 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: Nvidia had disappointed, and at first it was disappointed with 444 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 1: the fact that it didn't make even a bigger profit. 445 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: But overnight things turned around. Investors wanted a little bit more. 446 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: But we're taking a look at Nvidia shares right now. 447 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: They are up over two percent in the pre market. 448 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: They were down one percent. They've they've rebounded. So there's 449 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: no panic in the markets, at least for now. And 450 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 1: believe me, you would have seen a big panic if 451 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: Nvidia hadn't hadn't performed as well as people had wanted 452 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: it to. So a sigh of relief this morning. All right, Now, 453 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: let's go to the grocery store and the poster boy 454 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: for our inflationes in America eggs. The Trump administration is 455 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: planning to buy seventy to one hundred million eggs for 456 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: the American market for foreign producers in hopes of bringing 457 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: prices down until the domestic supply chain improves. A lot 458 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: of you talking on the chat and get her, by 459 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: the way, good points about how we probably killed too 460 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: many chickens in this country and that's why our supply 461 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: is down. Hopefully that will reverse itself. We're seeing a 462 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: lot of snobby people though, sneering at this program directed 463 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: at Agricultural Secretary Brook Rollins. Of course, those sneers are 464 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: coming from the usual suspects, mainstream media types, political class 465 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: folks who don't have to struggle to buy eggs. So 466 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: let's see how this plays out in the coming weeks. 467 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: It may be worth it as a stopgap measure while 468 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: we wait for more chickens to be born and hens 469 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: to start laying eggs. I'm no agricultural genius, but I 470 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: know that you need more hens if you want more eggs. 471 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: I learned that in school, all right. Washington Post owner 472 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos has initiated yet another big change at the paper. Yesterday, 473 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: he said that the Post daily opinion stories on their 474 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: editorial page will now only focus on two editorial pillars. 475 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: Those two pillars are personal liberties and free markets. Oh 476 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: I like that. That led David Shipley, who was the 477 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: paper's editorial page editor, to leave in response. You know, 478 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: I gotta love all this selective and delayed outrage by 479 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: the Washington Post quote unquote journalists. Hey, folks, Jeff Bezos 480 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: bought the Washington Post five years ago to advance his 481 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: own personal agenda. They already sacrificed everything about that paper 482 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: five years ago because and no one resigned over it, 483 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: because at that point Jeff Bezos was buying the paper 484 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: so he could promote his own personal PR He had 485 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: some PR problems. Remember he sends some not so savory 486 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: pictures of himself somewhere, remember that story. And also he 487 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: wanted to be anti Trump, and that's why I bought 488 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: the paper. No one was quitting the Post when he 489 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: did that. Now that he wants to have a pro American, 490 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: pro capitalist, pro freedom and editorial page, people are quitting. 491 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: That's all you need to know about the Washington Post, 492 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: all right. So this Fort Knox audit story is also 493 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: bringing out the snarkyments from the mainstream news media experts. 494 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: They're treating it like a conspiracy theory, which by the way, 495 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: only adds fuel to the fire. But the people who 496 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: really know about this stuff in the mining community aren't 497 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: sneering or laughing at all. Here's a column in one 498 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: of the top mining publications saying we should get a 499 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: look under the hood at Fort Knox. The gist of 500 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: this piece is that the gold market overall needs to 501 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: have better assurances about the inventory at Fort Knox. This 502 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: is serious and the seriousness of all these questions about 503 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: Fort Knox is also something one top gold expert explains 504 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: here to Charlie Kirk, watch. 505 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 4: What happens if the gold is gone? 506 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: Like, what does that mean to the economy? 507 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 4: Should investors be worried? 508 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: I mean, well, the price of gold skyrocket? What happens. 509 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 10: I don't think there's any situation that gold doesn't go 510 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 10: up in value. 511 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 4: And that's something easy. 512 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 10: For me to say, but I believe that because we're 513 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 10: basically if the gold's there, we're sending a message that 514 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 10: this is a key asset. And also it's an asset 515 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 10: that we own without debt. And we know how much 516 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 10: debt we're in thirty five thirty six trillion dollars, So 517 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 10: we actually have this asset, we revalue it, we put 518 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 10: it on the books. It gives us a little bit 519 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 10: more flexibility, and it sends a message to. 520 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: The world that we're strong. 521 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 10: If we don't have it, then I think we'll see 522 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 10: a precipitous drop in the US dollar, even the idea 523 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 10: of revaluing it from eleven billion to seven hundred and 524 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 10: fifty billion. If history repeats itself and the times that 525 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 10: we've done these audits, the dollar has lost significant value. 526 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 10: And it goes back to what I've talked about a lot, 527 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 10: is that owning assets right now in an inflationary environment 528 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 10: is extremely important. And even though people say, well, golds 529 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 10: hit at all time high, I don't know. It's it's 530 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 10: always been this way. Every year people say, oh, it's 531 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 10: HiT's hit another all time Hi, it's I mean, gold's 532 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 10: up forty six percent over the last year and a half. 533 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 10: So it's it's important to realize that assets are becoming 534 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 10: really important. And the US government and our president is saying, 535 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 10: we need to know what assets we have that don't 536 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 10: have debt. He's going to sell some of our land, 537 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 10: he's going to sell buildings that we don't need. But 538 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 10: this is a strong asset and he wants to put 539 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 10: us to the forefront. And President Trump always talks about gold. 540 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 10: I mean his apartments are gold. We're talking about this 541 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 10: five million dollar gold. 542 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, the gold card, calling the gold gold thought. 543 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 4: I thought of you. 544 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: I was like, well, we got calling coming on a 545 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: little bit, the gold card. 546 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 10: Everything, Yeah, everything he talks about leads us to gold. 547 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 10: And I would say further that this is really important 548 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 10: because the last three years and this has never happened 549 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 10: in history. Are the world has bought over a thousand 550 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 10: tons of gold for three years in a row. Think 551 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 10: about that. So they're creeping up on us. They're they're 552 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 10: becoming more dominant in the gold space. And so now 553 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 10: you know, Trump and his administration are saying, you know, 554 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 10: this is really important for us. And Judy Shelton, who's 555 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 10: in his cabinet, is a big gold butt. 556 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 4: I mean she just wrote a book about gold. 557 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 10: So all signs are leading us to money principles and 558 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 10: asset principles, and gold is a big part of that story. 559 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 10: So this is it's this is something I've wanted to 560 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 10: happen since I've been in the gold business for sixteen years. 561 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 10: They need to do this, they need to continue to 562 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 10: do this. I audit my depository every month. This is 563 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 10: important to do. So it is important for us as 564 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 10: a country to know because as elon My said. 565 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: The Charlie kirkshow aras here on Real America's Voice every 566 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: Monday through Friday at twelve new in Eastern time. I'm 567 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: like Scrooge McDuck when I see that gold and now 568 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: it's time for the gold standard in Automotive News. One 569 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: of the enduring questions from last month's LA wildfires was 570 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: how many cars and trucks actually were destroyed in those fires. Well, 571 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: now we have the number sixty three hundred. That's a 572 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: rough deal for existing supplies of both new and used 573 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: cars because demand is going to snap up. What's a 574 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 1: large part of the supply in this country. Industry experts 575 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: are expecting to see increases in average prices for February 576 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: because of this drain on supply. Good luck finding a 577 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: new car, a good use car right now with that 578 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: massive loss and supply, All right, another day, another rough 579 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: news story from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge parents Stilantis. We now 580 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: know that Stilantis lost a massive one point eight billion 581 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: dollars in the US alone in twenty twenty four. And 582 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: know they didn't leave it in their other pants. They 583 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: just lost it. They just lost it. Globally. Stilantis profits 584 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: fell seventy percent. This comes as the company is also 585 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: searching for a new CEO. But alas the captain of 586 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: the Titanic is not available, you got to find somebody 587 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: out over there, all right, Well, there's love and then 588 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: there's love. GM didn't have any of its vehicles chosen 589 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: as the top category pick for safety or reliability by 590 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: Consumer Reports this week. But that hasn't stopped the brand 591 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: from having the most loyal customers in America. This is 592 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: interesting S and P Global Mobility's US Automotive loyal Awards. 593 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: According to them, GM owners are now the most likely 594 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: to go buy another vehicle of the same make, model, 595 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: or manufacturer. Now that's loyalty. That's a lot of loyalty. 596 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 4: Me. 597 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: I'd settle for a partner who just doesn't ditch me 598 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: for a old high school boyfriend from Bayonne. But hey, 599 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 1: I'm no Chevy Blazer. All right. Hey, you gotta love 600 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: police car dash cam video, And here's one I wanted 601 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: to show you because it shows a police car and 602 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: the car the cops are chasing. It's a V eight 603 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: Dodge Challenger. Now, these models pack a serious punch, and 604 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: if you try to drive one with the traction control 605 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: turned off, you better be very good at what you're doing. 606 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: This driver was not h oh and by the way, 607 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: don't try to escape when the police are chasing you anyway, 608 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: no matter what car you're driving. No serious injuries were 609 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: reported from this mishap, but I'm laughing, and I will 610 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: be for quite some time. Do not run away from 611 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: the cops and learn how to drive without the traction control? 612 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: All right, coming up? They laughed, they talked, and they prayed. 613 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: The first Trump administration cabinet meeting was also a lot 614 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: about the news made by a non cat cabinet member, 615 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, and tens of thousands of Israelis turned out 616 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: for the funerals for the redheaded children Kafir and Arial 617 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: Beebis and their mother Shiri. A nation mourns, and so 618 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: do all the decent people on earth. More on that 619 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: solemn moment when American Sunrise early edition returns. It's Thursday, 620 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: February twenty seventh. Here as of today's top stories. The 621 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: first cabinet meeting of the new Trump team will be 622 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: remembered for a heartfelt prayer and the words of someone 623 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: who isn't actually even in the cabinet. But that's all 624 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: part of the very different group now in charge. Another day, 625 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: another signed. The dog To team is just getting started. 626 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: Federal agencies are warned to prepare for many more layoffs, 627 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: and the agency chiefs are being advised on how to 628 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: carry them out. The Trump team wants to get a 629 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,719 Speaker 1: handle on just how many illegal aliens there are in 630 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: this country and who they are. Perhaps the very suggestion 631 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: of documenting their numbers will encourage more self deportation. And 632 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: even in the face of agonizing tragedy, the massive turnout 633 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: in Israel for the funeral of the Beabs babies and 634 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: their mother stands as a sign of hope and strength 635 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: against terror. Now the question is how will Israel respond 636 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: and coordination with the Trump team. American Sunrise Early Edition 637 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: continues now, Good morning, everyone, I'm Jake Novak. This is 638 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition. We also, by the way, have 639 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: the breaking news overnight on the death of a true 640 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: American Treasurer actor Gene Hackman, dead at the age of 641 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: ninety five. No foul suggested that he, his wife, and 642 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: their dog actually were found dead in their home in 643 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: Santa Fe yesterday. We just learned about this overnight. I 644 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: have a special tribute to Gene Hackman with a clip 645 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: of what I believe was his greatest scene in the 646 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: very illustrious acting career. David Brodie and I are going 647 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: to be talking about that in just a few minutes, 648 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: but for now, we have some other big stories to 649 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: talk about yesterday's first big Trump two point two cabinet meeting. 650 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: The first one was a lot about someone who's not 651 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: actually in the cabinet. Elon Musk was featured as he 652 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: was answering questions very candidly about the dog team. He 653 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: even apologized for some of the missteps they've made so far. 654 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: When was the last time you heard anyone do that? 655 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: Joining me now is Daily Signal senior producer, Virginia Allen 656 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: and Virginia. They also started this cabinet meeting with the prayer. 657 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: I thought all of this was a refreshing change from 658 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: the norm. How about you? 659 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 7: It was a very refreshing change and change it was. Indeed, 660 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 7: I was really fascinating yesterday as I was researching that 661 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 7: cabinet meeting what happened and I went on X The 662 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 7: only thing for about the first twenty posts that I 663 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 7: saw was that prayer. I think Americans were so touched 664 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 7: to see that a president would take the time to 665 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 7: launch arguably one of the most important meetings of Trump's 666 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 7: first few months in office with a prayer, and that 667 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 7: really resonated, I think with so many American people. But 668 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 7: of course those images of Elon Musk standing up, his wording, 669 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 7: his phrasing of the speech that he gave to the cabinet. 670 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 7: It was both I think encouraging to see that Elon 671 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 7: Musk is not wavering in that course, and of course 672 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 7: his honesty is so refreshing. I think the American people 673 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 7: love Elon Musk so much because he just kind of 674 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 7: says it how it is. It's not sugarcoated. He just expressed, hey, 675 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 7: if we continue down this path of a ballooning debt 676 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 7: trillions of dollars that the US has as it's deficit, 677 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 7: but that's actually not sustainable, and just laying out, hey, 678 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 7: this isn't an option. And it was so significant that 679 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 7: he was there because while some people are saying he 680 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 7: shouldn't have been in the room, he's not a cabinet member. Well, 681 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 7: he needs to have full cooperation. The president needs full 682 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 7: cooperation from every single cabinet member to get on board 683 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 7: with what Elon Musk is doing in order to accomplish 684 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 7: the goal of really trimming the fat in the US government. 685 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 7: And so Elon is reaching out to every single one 686 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 7: of these cabinet members saying, hey, work with me. We're 687 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 7: going to work together to get down out of control 688 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 7: spending and to bring accountability back to our government. And 689 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 7: so he was absolutely meant to be in that room 690 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 7: and really speaks to where the priorities of the president 691 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 7: are right now, which continue on this path of getting 692 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 7: out of control government waste under control. 693 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, listen, Elon, if you're listening, I just want 694 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: to ride on SpaceX. But I do like what you're 695 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: doing as well. Hey, So a lot of the supports 696 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: is about layoffs at the federal level. And you know 697 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: what I think the layoffs are and what I would 698 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: call quote, you ain't seen nothing yet phase. We're learning 699 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: that top federal agencies and their leaders are being told 700 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: to be ready for more layoff orders Virginia. The polls 701 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: show the American people are overwhelmingly okay with this. Aren't 702 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: the mainstream media and the Democrats skipping a step in 703 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: this process when they tell the public these layoffs are 704 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: an outrage, But forget to explain exactly why they're an outrage. 705 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 7: Oh, they absolutely are. I think you're going to get 706 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 7: a very one sided view from what of corporate media, 707 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 7: and you know, for the American people, industries across the 708 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 7: US are very used to that blooming and that shrinking. 709 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 7: This is normal that an economy, as things ebb and flow, 710 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 7: one industry is going to get bigger while another gets 711 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 7: a little smaller. That's never happened in the federal government. 712 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 7: The federal government has done nothing but grow and grow 713 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 7: and grow for decades. So quite frankly, I think the 714 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 7: American people are pleased to see, Okay, there should be 715 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 7: a taking of stock. There should be an assessment of 716 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 7: are all of these positions positions that maybe we added 717 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 7: to the federal government thirty years ago? Does that position 718 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 7: still need to exist? Do we need to consolidate? What 719 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 7: does that look like? I mean, if myself, if I 720 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 7: never examined my own personal finances for decades, so people 721 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 7: will call me crazy. This is a practical assessment and 722 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 7: analysis of what is working and what isn't working in 723 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 7: the federal government. That's healthy not only for Washington, DC, 724 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,919 Speaker 7: but for the entire nation. 725 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: Hey, Virginia, you co wrote a new piece that's out 726 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: in the Daily Signal about how one of your colleagues 727 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: and a guest on this program, frequent guest Tyler O'Neil, 728 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: explained how the US Aid Office AID Office was used 729 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: to undermine and even attack the United States. Can you 730 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: give us some highlights of your peace please? 731 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 7: Absolutely. 732 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 733 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,399 Speaker 7: So, my colleague, as you said, Tyler O'Neil testified before 734 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 7: sub committee yesterday, and this is the sub committee that's 735 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 7: really focused on partnering with the work of DOGE Department 736 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 7: of Government efficients see to say, hey, the American people 737 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 7: deserve to know where their tax dollars are going, and USAID, unfortunately, 738 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 7: it has been revealed that many assets, many resources that 739 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 7: they had were going to further leftist causes, and in 740 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 7: some cases money that USAID was spending was actually undermining 741 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 7: US interests. And so what Tyler so articulately explained during 742 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 7: his testimony yesterday is that there are these these large, 743 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 7: very far left groups that are often backed by George Soros, 744 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 7: that have this connection to USAID, that have received money 745 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 7: from USAID, and sometimes it's a couple layers removed, so 746 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 7: you really have to look closely and say, okay, this 747 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 7: connection to this organization, this organization, but it's there, that 748 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 7: linkage is there, and it's fascinating to see the American 749 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 7: people's view on this. The Neapolitan Institute recently reported that 750 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 7: forty two percent of Americans do actually have a pretty 751 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 7: favorable view of USAI d all thirty two percent have 752 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 7: a very negative view. So we see, you know, across 753 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 7: the country, I think people are questioning, Okay, we need 754 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 7: to of course be you know, having that foreign aid 755 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 7: go to those who really need it. There is a 756 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:24,479 Speaker 7: strategy there, and there needs to be accountability for that money. 757 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 7: So again it gets right back to that heart of 758 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 7: government accountability of taking the time to assess where resource 759 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,760 Speaker 7: is going. Is this the best way to invest taxpayer money? 760 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 7: And it's been long overdue to take this assessment, and 761 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 7: certainly with an organization like USAID, incredibly needed to have 762 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 7: that accountability. When they are dealing with foreign nations, we 763 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 7: need to know how they are representing the United States overseas. 764 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 10: You know. 765 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: Finally, Virginia, I want to get to this last topic. 766 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: The whole civilized world has been gripped by the news 767 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,240 Speaker 1: of the deaths of the Bebus babies, Kafir and Ril, 768 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: ages four and actually one. When they were killed, we 769 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: thought that they may have lived to be five and two. 770 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: That didn't happen. The funeral yesterday was very emotional. This 771 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: is video of tens of thousands of Israelis lining the 772 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: funeral procession, and then there were more tens of thousands 773 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: at the actual funeral. I'm wondering what you're hearing maybe 774 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 1: in DC, guessing about how this response will go in Washington. 775 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: These are so many victims. There were over twelve hundred victims. 776 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: There were a lot of child victims, other children who 777 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: were murdered in very very grotesque and disgusting ways, but 778 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: of course their story because for so long we thought 779 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: they were alive. I mean, look at these look at 780 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: this video. I mean, it looks like the whole country 781 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 1: came out for this. I wonder, are you hearing anything 782 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: about a response to this in Washington? Is this a 783 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: game changer in any way? Anything that you're hearing. 784 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been interesting to see the response I saw 785 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 7: in Chicago yesterday they had a balloon ceremony releasing orange 786 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 7: balloons in honor of the Beavis children. And I think, 787 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 7: certainly among lawmakers, among officials in Washington, d C. This 788 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 7: is a little bit of a nail and a coffin. 789 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 7: You know, no pun intended there, of course, but it's 790 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 7: just tragic to see that, you know, these children that 791 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 7: for so long Americans Israelis, people across the world had 792 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 7: really held out hope. Maybe they're alive, maybe they've survived, 793 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 7: maybe they made it. And this really all goes back to, 794 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 7: of course, the evil that we have seen at the 795 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 7: hands of Hamas. If these children were allowed to grow 796 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 7: to live in peace, if they'd never been taken, of 797 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,280 Speaker 7: course they would be living beautiful, healthy lives. And instead 798 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 7: you have a nation turning out to mourn and to grieve. 799 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 7: And I think those kids have just become an image 800 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 7: for really the entire world of the cost of terrorism. 801 00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 7: This is it. You have innocent children, babies slaughtered. This 802 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 7: is the cost of terrorism. And I think it highlights 803 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 7: as well the need for a real change in leadership, 804 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 7: specifically in Gaza. This isn't going to work to have 805 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 7: a mass take over again. And Trump has been criticized 806 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 7: for saying there should be a hotel on the beach 807 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 7: of Gaza or whatever. But what his comments highlight is 808 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 7: that what has happened in Gaza repeatedly where Hamas comes in, 809 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 7: terrorists takeover, they lead. That's no longer going to work 810 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 7: because if something doesn't change, if there's not a real 811 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 7: dramatic change in Gaza, fast forward, five, ten, fifteen years, 812 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 7: we will find ourselves right back here. And who will 813 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 7: be the next victims, Who will be the next bevis children. 814 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 7: It's only a matter of time if there is not 815 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 7: real change in Gaza. 816 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: Well, and there are a number of accounts saying that 817 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: when President Trump learned of those murders, he was very, 818 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: very enraged and had a few choice words to say, 819 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 1: Virginia Allen. I hopefully we'll talk about better topics next time. 820 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us, and I'm going 821 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: to give you an early happy weekend to you. 822 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 7: Thank you so much, Jake, I appreciate it all right. 823 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: David Brody is going to join us in a moment 824 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: and we will be discussing a true American treasure we 825 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: lost last night. Geene Hackman, I want you to stick 826 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: around because you're going to about to see what I 827 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: believe was his greatest acting moment in a very illustrious career. 828 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 9: Stay with us. 829 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: It's a live shout of Chicago, Illinois, and that's what 830 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: happens in Chicago, and fog starts to roll in. Anybody here, 831 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: Remember the NFC Divisional Playoff nineteen eighty eight Bears versus Eagles, 832 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: the fog bowl. I really hope the Maris don't move 833 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: from Soldier Field because it's not far from this shot 834 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 1: is where Soldier Field is. I don't care if there's 835 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: fog there sometimes. All right, Welcome back to American Sunrise 836 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: Early Edition. I'm Jake Novac. Thank you so much for 837 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: joining us, and I really wanted to take a special 838 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: moment at the end of this program to honor the 839 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: life and career of actor Gene Hackman. We learned overnight 840 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: that he had passed away. We don't know all the 841 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: details yet. Police are saying there's no foul play. He 842 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: his wife, and their dog were found dead in their 843 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Again, no foul play suspected, 844 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: so we're not talking about a murder case here. We'll 845 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: find out a little bit more about it. Gene Hackman 846 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: was ninety five years old. He retired from acting. Talk 847 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: about having a lot of class. He retired from acting 848 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: at age seventy four because he just felt that he 849 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: had done enough and he didn't need to do anymore. 850 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to play for you, though what I believe 851 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: to be and this is saying something because he had 852 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 1: an illustrious career. I believe that this moment that you're 853 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: about to see from the movie Mississippi Burning in nineteen 854 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: eighty eight was his greatest acting performance moment. Check it 855 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: out comes from all this hatred. 856 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 11: You know, when I was a little boy, there was 857 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 11: no Negro farmer who lived down the road from us 858 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 11: name of Monroe, and he was, uh. 859 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 12: I guess he was just a little luckier, and my 860 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 12: daddy was. He brought himself a mule that was a 861 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 12: big deal out of that town. 862 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 11: And my daddy hated that mule cause his friends are 863 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,479 Speaker 11: always a kidney about. 864 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: Oh. 865 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 11: They saw Monroe out plowing. 866 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: With his new mule, and Monroe. 867 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 11: Was gonna rent another field. 868 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 6: Now they had a. 869 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 11: Mule, And one morning that mule just showed up dead. 870 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 11: They poisoned the water, and after that there was never 871 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 11: any mention about that mule around. 872 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 12: My daddy just never came up. 873 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: For legal reasons. I can't show you that entire clip. 874 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: It goes on for a few minutes. Here's how good 875 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: an actor David Brodie's joining me. Now here's how good 876 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: an actor Gene Hackman was. First of all, he could 877 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: play it any role. I mean, I saw that move 878 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: Mississippi Burning, and I immediately believe that Gene Hackman is 879 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: the son of a Mississippi farmer who decided to become 880 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 1: an FBI agent after her career as a sheriff. Second, 881 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 1: I don't actually agree with the conclusion that he makes 882 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 1: in that speech. He talks about how it really wasn't 883 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: hatred of black people that caused his father to do that, 884 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: it was because he was angry about being poor. I'm 885 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: a very big advocate for explaining that poverty or wealth 886 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 1: is not what causes people to do crime or not 887 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 1: to do crime. A rich person is just as likely 888 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: as a poor person to rob you, to hate you, 889 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 1: or to even kill you. But that's how good an 890 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 1: actor it was, because you hear him say it and 891 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 1: you really believe it. David Brodie your thoughts, and I 892 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: know you were. How could you not be a fan 893 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: of Gene Hackman if you have a pulse one percent? 894 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 13: And he ran the gamut? 895 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 11: Right? 896 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 13: I mean, lex luthor a Mississippi Burning. Hello, let's not 897 00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 13: bury the lead. And I know a lot of people 898 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 13: say the connections to lead, Okay, that's fine, Hoosiers, Come on, 899 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 13: I mean the guy just you know, you just go 900 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,280 Speaker 13: on and on. I think a lot of the generation, 901 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 13: the younger generation, and we'll actually remember him more for 902 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 13: Hoosiers actually, which was, by the way, ranked the fourth 903 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 13: best sports film ever made. So look, I mean so 904 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,359 Speaker 13: much going on. He had heart problems. He had some 905 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 13: surgery angioplasty. This was you know, decades ago, back in 906 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 13: the seventies. Like you say, he did retire. We'll find 907 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 13: out some more information about it all. But you know 908 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 13: what's interesting to me, and we were talking about this 909 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 13: during the break, he really didn't make the politics the 910 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 13: thing right like all of these actors are doing today 911 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 13: and so many actors do. 912 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 4: He didn't do that. 913 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 13: Now, having said that he was a Democrat, he was 914 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 13: a lifelong democrat. He had progressive policies, but he didn't 915 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 13: flat flaunt it. 916 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: If you will. 917 00:45:55,560 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 13: He was on Nixon's enemies list in nineteen seventy two, which. 918 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: Is fascinating to me. He would never really talk too. 919 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 13: Much about it, other than to say he was proud 920 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,439 Speaker 13: to be on Nixon's enemy list. But then he talked 921 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 13: very fondly of Ronald Reagan as well. So a bit 922 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 13: of an enigma wrapped in a riddle and you know, 923 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 13: God bless him, God bless him. 924 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: You know, an American Treasury.
