1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunria's early edition. The tariffs are officially 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: here as President Trump pushes back on unfair trade practices 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: lodged against the US for the last seventy plus years. 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Wall Street is crying, but that's nothing new. What can 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: we expect on Main Street? Truth or trial balloon? A 6 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: political article says Elon Musk is set to bolt from 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: the Trump team, but the White House says his timeline 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: has never changed. With someone trying to tear Elon and 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: the President apart. A California man shoots and kills a 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: pharmacy worker. He's in custody. But is this what we 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: get when the far left idolizes people like Luigi Mangione. 12 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: A new report details how the left wing political group 13 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: Act Blue received massive amounts of illegal foreign campaign contributions. 14 00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: Tell me again how American billionaires are the problem. And 15 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: speaking of investigations, we now know just how extensive the 16 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: government funded and orchestrated social media campaign for Ukraine was 17 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: during the Biden years. Wait, you mean those Ukrainian flags 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: and everyone's profile picture wasn't just an organic thing. American 19 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: Sunrise Early Edition starts now. 20 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. The show where faith, freedom, 21 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: and the values that built this nation takes centers. 22 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: To your good, thieves and bad deeds. That's how we're 23 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: gonna judge. 24 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 2: You join host Jake Nobak because he breaks down the 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: stories that matter. 26 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: He will be letting the public know regularly what we 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,639 Speaker 1: have found. 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Nobak starts. 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: Now, Welcome to a Thursday. Here an American Sunrise Early Edition. Well, 30 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: all the asset classts are down. Everyone's really worried about 31 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: the tariffs, but we are up this morning. We're good 32 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: and joining me right now is independent investigative journalist Walter Kurt. 33 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: And Walter, you know you have so many politicians and 34 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: pundits freaking out this morning and overnight about the Trump 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: tariff announcements. Wall Street's going to open sharply down. We'll 36 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: see how it closes. It may not close down, but 37 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: it's going to open sharply down. But you know, here's 38 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: my basic question, Walter, if tariffs are so bad, where 39 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: were the people who were complaining about them? Now? Where 40 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: were they when they needed to complain about all the 41 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: tariffs the US has been subjected to over the last 42 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: seventy plus years. Can you answer that question. 43 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: No one can answer that question because they're all lying. 44 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: They're all lying. Listen, the free trade argument. I love 45 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: the idea of free trade. It'd be great. Let's actually 46 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: have it, though, Like we would actually need to have 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 3: real free trade for that to be the true argument, 48 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: and we don't have that right now. 49 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: We haven't had that for years. 50 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I do like specifically that within this, he 51 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 3: said Trump when he announced it, he said that it's 52 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: not just levies that they're going after, but they're also 53 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: going after the currency manipulation. I think that's a really 54 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: important part of this. I mean, China has been manipulating 55 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: their currency for decades and everybody knows it, no one's 56 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: done anything about it. So I think these tariffs are 57 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: a great response to all that. And the only thing 58 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: I really have to say to people about it is 59 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: just if you don't if you think that Trump is 60 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: going to fail on the economy surrounded by the most 61 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: successful business people on the planet, then I don't know 62 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 3: what to tell you. Just let him cook. Let Trump cook, 63 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: It'll be okay. Everyone needs to relax. My guess is 64 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 3: that the majority of these countries already dropped their terriffs. 65 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: I know, we already saw Canada fold. We already saw 66 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: Mexico fold. Israel alread dropped their tariffs as well. They 67 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: didn't have very many, but they dropped them anyway. I mean, 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: I think that by the end of the week we're 69 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: going to see the majority of these countries are going 70 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 3: to completely fold on this. That it's we're actually for 71 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: the first time, and like you said, seventy years, we 72 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: might really have a free trade system. And if it 73 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: ends up being ten percent tariffs across the board for 74 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: every single country back and forth, that sounds a lot 75 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: more free than what it is currently. And I don't 76 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: know how anybody really has an argument against it, to 77 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: be honest with you. Yeah, you know, Walter, I'm trying 78 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: to find a piece of paper small enough where I 79 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: can write the names of all the people who are 80 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: complaining about the tariffs now, who complained about them for 81 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: the years previously, on the ones that were against us. 82 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: There isn't a piece of it. Maybe I can write 83 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: it on this little card. There aren't enough people in 84 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: the world like that for me to even discuss it. 85 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: And so if you are now talking about how terrible 86 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: tariffs are and how awful it is, and you never 87 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: spoke about them before. You are being sanctimonious. Look it 88 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: up in the dictionary, and sanctimony is my least favorite 89 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: type of political posturing. It's so annoying. I don't like 90 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: it in religion either. All right, let's talk about politics 91 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: on the more granular scale. The consensus media conclusion about 92 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: the Wisconsin judicial race that we learned about yesterday is 93 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: that it was a rebuke to President Trump and Elon Musk. 94 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: The left says this was these were big losses for 95 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: them and it was about them personally, and that the 96 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: argument was that voters don't get energized enough. This is 97 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: what the right wing media was saying a lot, that 98 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: the voters don't get energized enough when President Trump isn't 99 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: on the ballot. I say they're both wrong. I actually 100 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: think this was more about abortion, and I know you 101 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: think it was a little bit more about the actual 102 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: candidate who was running. What's your take on this? 103 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 3: Absolutely so, you know, watching the Shimmel campaign, I'm pretty 104 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: plugged into politics across the entire country, and you know, 105 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: watching this campaign, I don't think I saw a single 106 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 3: ad for Shimmel. I don't know what his messaging was. 107 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: I didn't see him advertised on any social media's. I 108 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: didn't see any I know a couple people I just 109 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: talked to a couple of the other night that said 110 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 3: they saw a few of his ads in Pennsylvania. So, 111 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: you know, I don't know what his campaign was being 112 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: run like. But what I do know is that you 113 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: don't lose by ten points after coming out of a 114 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: massive win in November. You don't lose by ten points 115 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: when you have the big guns coming in to support you, 116 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: when you've got Scott Presser on the ground helping you 117 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: with your ground game, when you've got Musk support from 118 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: the America Pack, when you've got him showing up doing 119 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: town hall events before for the final push, trying to 120 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: get help get the vote out. You don't lose by 121 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 3: ten points with all of that support unless you were 122 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: doing something wrong on the campaign. And you know, as 123 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 3: a political campaigns consultant, many times, I don't see how 124 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: it's possible that this campaign was not run properly. That's 125 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 3: the only thing I can think I can say. Probably 126 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: I would actually lay it more at the feet of 127 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 3: the RNC the RNC themselves. They need to be making 128 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: sure that they're running good candidates and that they can 129 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 3: really get their messaging out. And if they're not willing 130 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 3: to spend the money and actually pay attention to these races, 131 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: then you know, a ten point loss this is not 132 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 3: doesn't look good for the midterms if the RNC can't 133 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: get their act together. I mean, I think this I 134 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: don't know if it's as much of a bellwether versus 135 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: you know, if you don't do the work, people aren't 136 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: going to show up to vote, and you can't run 137 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: a campaign. I've said this since twenty two. Actually, you 138 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,559 Speaker 3: cannot run a campaign saying I like Trump. No one cares. Okay, 139 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 3: that's not a campaign message. It doesn't work. You know, 140 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: Trump is very popular, but you can't run on i'd 141 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: like him like. That doesn't work. So I hope that 142 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 3: this is kind of a wake up call for Republicans 143 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: across the country because we need to win the mid 144 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: terms and we need to make sure that we were 145 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: actually focused in getting people out. And you know, this 146 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 3: was just not it. 147 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: H We're kind of on the same page. I think 148 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: it was about abortion, but I think it was about 149 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: issues yes, you're right. It can't just be about Trump 150 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: or personalities. I think that if the Republicans run races 151 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: on the issues, not just on scare tactics about how 152 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: they're going to redistrict, which they will do. I didn't 153 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: mean that was a lie as far as a scare 154 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: tactic is concerned. They needed to talk about the issues. 155 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: If they run on keeping boys out of the girls 156 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: locker room, if they run on keeping the borders closed, 157 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: if they run on having judges who will approve deportations 158 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: for criminals, I think they win. I didn't hear enough 159 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: of that out of Wisconsin, and again in a swing state, 160 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: if you have a woman running for a judicial position 161 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: and you don't have a good answer for the abortion 162 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: question that some on the fence Republican women are concerned about, 163 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: and then you're going to lose. All right, Let's move 164 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: on to something else, because I know you saw this 165 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: new report about just how much illegal foreign money poured 166 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: into the Democrat liberal political action group Act Blue. What 167 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: are some of the things that stood out to you 168 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: and what else are you hoping to find out as 169 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: this investigation flushes itself out a little bit? 170 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: So I actually published at the beginning of this month, 171 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 3: I published an extensive article talking about this, and I 172 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: theorized essentially that we were going to find the lots 173 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: of foreign money that was poured into this. I mean, 174 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 3: if you read Brian Representative Brian Steele as chairman of 175 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 3: a committee that did an investigation into Act Blue, and 176 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 3: they found that during July of the previous year, during 177 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 3: the campaign, that during July they had a ton of 178 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: a ton of foreign donations or what they theorized were 179 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: foreign donations. Now we know that it was foreign donations. Essentially, 180 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: we know that for a fact. I mean, now we 181 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: know according to the New York Posts article that you know, 182 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 3: the Saudi Arabia, that Brazil, a bunch of different countries 183 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: funneled this in there. As this investigation goes forward, I 184 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: really want to see This is my theory that I've 185 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 3: been running with for a while. I want to know 186 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: if the money that came into from those foreign if 187 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 3: those were from organizations that received US tax payer dollars, 188 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: if it was from USAID funds. I want to know 189 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 3: where the financial tractions go. I want to go backwards 190 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: and see if they come back. So it's a kickback circle. 191 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: If we can prove that. I think that's detrimental to them. 192 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 3: But Act Blue is imploding right now, and I think 193 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 3: this investigation is only going to get significantly worse. 194 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean to put it very simply, if even 195 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: one dollar if USAID money went to a foreign country 196 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: or a foreign organization, and then that foreign organization donated 197 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: to Democrat politicians and Democrat political campaigns and packs, you 198 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: have a very major scandal here. You have the US 199 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: government being used, as you described as a money laundering 200 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: operation for I legal campaign funds. I'd be shocked if 201 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: there wasn't at least one dollar that went through that way, 202 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: and I'll be very happy to admit I was wrong 203 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: if they find no evidence of that, but I really 204 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: don't think that's going to happen. Finally, Walter, you also 205 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: have a story out on your own substack detailing the 206 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: massive government funded social media campaign and other ways that 207 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: was funded for Ukraine in the Biden years. And you know, 208 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: I thought all those Ukrainian flags and everyone's Facebook profile 209 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: were because so many of my friends and contacts are 210 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: experts in crimean topography. What gives here? Walter? 211 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: This was actually amazing. So this was I do a 212 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,479 Speaker 3: lot of work working going through some of these contracts 213 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: for dose see if I can help get attention put 214 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: on things. And this stood out to me. I was 215 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 3: just clicking through a contract and on the sub details 216 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: of the contract, it is unbelievable. It says, you know, 217 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: we're going to create a system. We're going to identify, 218 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 3: train and engage twenty five to forty social media influencers 219 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: to repeat State Department talking points. 220 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: That's what it says. 221 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 3: And their entire mission is going to be make sure 222 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 3: they create produce authentic and persuasive content, content that has 223 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 3: the ability to combat Russian disinformation. This is an American company, 224 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: by the way, it's actually the company itself is really strange. 225 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 3: If you look into the company, I found their office 226 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: front and it literally is a front. It's a It 227 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: is a single room in a bank in the middle 228 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 3: of noahm, Alaska, which is hysterical to me. It means 229 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 3: that they just used it as the Native Slope tribe. 230 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: There's ability to get government contracts using Alaskan Slope tribes 231 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: and it gives you a really quick way to get contracts. 232 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: But you know, there was three million dollars specifically for 233 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 3: this program, but the company itself got over twenty million 234 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 3: dollars in obligations over the past few years. I'm hoping 235 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: that this contract has been shut down. But this just 236 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 3: proves again that, you know, our government was trying to 237 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: force a narrative down people's throats and you know, just 238 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 3: lying to you about it. I mean social media influencers. 239 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: I think it's kind of well known at this point 240 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: that a lot of them get paid specifically to push content. 241 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 3: But you know, this kind of stuff where it's directly 242 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 3: from our government and the quote directly from it saying 243 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: that they have to be creating their own persuasive content. 244 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 3: It was just a bit too much for me, and 245 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 3: I made sure to put that out as soon as 246 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: I found it. But you know, I think everybody needs 247 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 3: to realize that you see these people that come out 248 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 3: of nowhere and have a new narrative. I mean, what else, 249 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 3: what else can you say? It's obviously not that big 250 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 3: of an issue to most Americans where Ukraine is what's 251 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 3: happening in Ukraine. But if you're told by the media, 252 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: you're told by a bunch of social media influencers, and 253 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 3: you're told by your government to actually do it. I mean, 254 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: people just need to start seeing through this stuff. And 255 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: I think people are starting to see through it, because 256 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: I refuse to believe that poll that came out last 257 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: week that's seventy percent of Americans actually support the idea 258 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 3: of increasing aid to Ukraine. I just do not believe 259 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: that pole for a second. 260 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: No medither. I'd love to see the actual question wording 261 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: and listen if you want to get people to like 262 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians. I mean, why they didn't use more video 263 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: of Ukrainian supermodels I don't know, because that's what they 264 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: did in some other countries on some comedy shows when 265 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: the war started. All right, Walter Kurt, thanks for joining us. 266 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Check out at Substack the WC Dispatch, and have a 267 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: great rest of your week. Thanks Jake, thanks for having 268 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: me on. All right. Coming up, another murderer blames the 269 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: healthcare industry for his crime. This time has at a 270 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: pharmacy in California. Is this the Luigi Mangione effect? And 271 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: speaking of California, is Governor Gavin Newsome trying to run 272 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: for president or disqualify himself three years early so we 273 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: can go back to eating dinners at the French laundry 274 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: I'll have the latest when American Sunrise Early Edition comes 275 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: right back. That's a live shot of Corning, New York, 276 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: a very beautiful part of New York. It's also where 277 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: the Corning Glass Museum is. I highly recommend you go there. 278 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: They've been working on their downtown for a long time. 279 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: There. 280 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: It's pretty early in the morning, but it looks nice. 281 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: Corning is a really, really nice place. Hey, welcome back 282 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake x Special. Welcome 283 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: to those of you following and watching on the Getter 284 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: and Rumble apps and commenting. Remember, this is an interactive 285 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: news program. It is not passive. I want to hear 286 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: from you. This is not the old school news media. Hey, 287 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: don't forget that the GOP did pick up two House 288 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: seats on Tuesday, and that is significant when you still 289 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: have fewer than a ten seat majority. Congressman Ship Roy 290 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: tells Steve Bannon what needs to happen when those two 291 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: Republicans from Florida are now getting into the mix. 292 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 4: Went down to Florida. We're actually going to get two 293 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 4: new members up here in the House. 294 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: That's good news. 295 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 4: And in the end, you know, I think it was 296 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 4: about twelve to fifteen point margin. You know when low 297 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 4: name ID. So I feel good about that and we'll 298 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 4: get you know, going. Once those two get up here, 299 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: I hope they'll join in and get the fight immediately. 300 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 4: But Wisconsin double edged sword voter ID. That tells you 301 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: where the American people are on voter ID. You know that, 302 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 4: I know that anybody on this show knows that we 303 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 4: need to move. It's why we're trying to move to 304 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 4: save acts here in Washington. It's been a part of 305 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 4: the rule. We got to get it off the House 306 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 4: floor and jam it through and get the Senate to 307 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: act on it. Look on the Supreme Court, I haven't 308 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 4: studied as well as some, you know, politically to know 309 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 4: exactly what happened. 310 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: It's in not my state. 311 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 4: I know there was a lot of work in there 312 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 4: at the last minute, but I feel like it was 313 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 4: if I had to just make my opinion on it, it's 314 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 4: that it was late. 315 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: We needed to be on that a long time ago. 316 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 4: And you know, I will say the Freedom Caucus, for example, 317 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 4: we were running ads I think six weeks eight weeks 318 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 4: ago because it was so critically and obviously important that 319 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 4: we win that damn race. We were trying to lean 320 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 4: into it, and it seemed like there was crickets at 321 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 4: least in the national conversation, and we didn't really nationalize 322 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 4: that until the last week. And I think, you know, 323 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 4: we should have been in there earlier. That's my quick assessment. 324 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 5: What do you how do you think this? 325 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: What does this portend for twenty twenty six. 326 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 4: Well, obviously we've got an issue now in terms of 327 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 4: redistricting and what you just pointed out in terms of 328 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 4: the number of seats, and we're going to have to 329 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 4: I mean, and that's going to mean a lot. I mean, 330 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 4: you know, that's an every seat we lose, that makes 331 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 4: it even harder for us to make sure we keep 332 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 4: the majority. What it also means is we need to 333 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 4: go frigging deliver on the agenda deals that we're not 334 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 4: meeting this week now. And you know there are reasons 335 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 4: why we'll get into and your listeners and viewers know that, 336 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 4: but we need to be getting the job done. We 337 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 4: got the Senator over there moving their reconciliation budget this week. 338 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 4: I don't know what that's going to look like yet. 339 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 4: We need to be aggressive. We need to reduce spending, 340 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 4: we need to do it significantly so we can fight 341 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 4: the inflation tax killing hardworking American families. We need a 342 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 4: tax package that is delivering on the President's agenda. 343 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: And you know, Steve Banners War Room airs every Monday 344 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: through Friday here on Real America's Voice at ten am 345 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: Eastern time. Don't miss it. California Governor Gavin Newsom's I'm 346 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: Different from the other Democrats operation is rolling along and crashing. 347 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Remember he recently told our Charlie Kirk that he thinks 348 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: allowing boys and girls' locker rooms is a bad idea. Well, 349 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: now he's letting us know that he does know that 350 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: some other Democrats are quote toxic. He's right on both counts, 351 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: but he's still doing it all wrong. Hey, Gavin, if 352 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: you want to run for president and reform your party, 353 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: you don't do it by going on podcasts. You don't, 354 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, thanks for coming on. You don't do it 355 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: by calling your other Democrats in public toxic. You do 356 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: the Bill Clinton thing. Bill Clinton did this starting in 357 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight. He tried to nicely convince the Democratic 358 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: Party to be less communist and to be less crazy 359 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: about things like abortion and gun control. And not only 360 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: did he move the party to the right. He made 361 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: them a winning party after they got their butts kick 362 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: in election after election after election. Gavin Newsom is doing 363 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: it all wrong and you'll see how that works out 364 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: for him in the polls. He's not even close to 365 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: the top in the Democrat polls right now. Kamala Harris 366 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: is still number one, so that shows how good he's 367 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: doing all right. In a more serious story out of California, 368 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: a man who says he had very serious complaints about 369 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical industry has been charged with storming into a 370 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: California Walgreens and shooting a worker dead. Suspect narcisso Gallardo 371 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: Fernandez had a handgun in his pocket Monday when he 372 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: went into a Walgreens in Madera and killed employee Eric Blasquez. 373 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: That's near Fresno. He pleaded not guilty yesterday. I don't 374 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: know why he's pleading not guilties on tape doing the 375 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: shooting anyway. Fernandez didn't know the victim, but he allegedly 376 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: told investigators he hates big pharmacies. I'm sorry to say this, 377 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: but I think this is the Luigi Mangion effect. In 378 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: a Luigi Mangione, who shot and killed United Healthcare CEO 379 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: Brian Thompson on the sidewalks of New York in December. 380 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: They made him a hero. I think this absolutely encouraged 381 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: this guy. I think, though those details will come out. 382 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: This is why we don't celebrate murders. And no matter 383 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: how angry we are at a particular corporation, I'm really 384 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: angry a lot of other politicians out there. I don't 385 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: advocate violence against them, and that's why, hopefully it won't happen. 386 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: This is really a disgrace. Hopefully this will be the 387 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: end of the copycats. All right. Now for a story, 388 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: a good news story I've been wanting to tell you 389 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: about all morning. Army Sergeant Derek Bishop of the eighty 390 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: second Airborne Division needs a bone marrow transplant. So when 391 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: the word went out earlier this week, more than eleven 392 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: hundred soldiers and veterans showed up at Fort Bragg, North 393 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: Carolina for a bone marrow donorus screening, and a thousand 394 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: others submitted a request online for test kids. This was 395 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: thanks to the Defense Department's narrow donor program. It's called 396 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: Salute to Life. The five year survival rate by the 397 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: way for people diagnosed with the disease that this guy 398 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: has and undergo a bone marrow transplant is higher than 399 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: seventy five percent. Leave no man behind. This is a 400 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: great story. Thank you all you vets and all your soldiers. Okay, 401 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: everyone check out this video. Check it out because it's 402 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: very much a sign of the times right now in America. 403 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a story, by the way, with a 404 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: sad ending. You see that tower crashing there. I will 405 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: explain though, but this is the sign of the times. 406 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: And some foreign car models posted amazing March numbers, but 407 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: will they hold up now that the tariffs are in place? 408 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: Find out who the big winners are so far. When 409 00:19:44,840 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition continues, that's a live shot at 410 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: Hide in Kentucky. I mean, is there any other news 411 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: program in America that's showing you live shots of Corning, 412 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: New York and then Kentucky. And the answer is no. 413 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: This is a real America and this is what it 414 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 1: looks like people getting off to work. I love it. 415 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: All these parts of the country most people don't actually 416 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: see if you only watch the big news programs. And 417 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: so this is great. Welcome back to American Sunrise early edition. 418 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: I'm Jake Novak. All right, I've been holding off. Let's 419 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: take a look at these ugly numbers. Le's look where 420 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: the markets are going to begin today. No, that's not 421 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: a typo. We're looking at a one thousand and forty 422 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: two point drop on the Dow as we open, S 423 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: and P five hundred Nasdaq all two and three percent down. 424 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: Even gold is down. Hey, but crude oil is down. 425 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: We're down back below seventy dollars. So I like that 426 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: almost four percent down right now, Let's take a look 427 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: at bitcoin. There's going to be more red here. I'm 428 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: going to tell you that right now. Eighty three thousand. 429 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: But by the way, that is really the range that 430 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: bitcoin's been in. Bitcoin was that eighty three a few 431 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: days ago, even before all these terriff announcements. So there 432 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: you have that. Look, it's going to be a sell 433 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: off this morning, that's what's going to happen. But stay tuned. 434 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: We may not be so deep in the red, and 435 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: we might even be in the green by the end 436 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: of the day. That's how volatile things have been on 437 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: Wall Street the last few days. And if you are 438 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: making your decisions in your life and your political decisions 439 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: based on what Wall Street is doing from day to day. 440 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: You're doing it wrong. That's not how it goes. Hey, 441 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: even though oil is down below seventy dollars a barrel 442 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: this morning, gasoline prices continue to creep higher this morning. 443 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: Nothing too steep. I don't want to say it's not 444 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: that bad. The average now is up to three dollars 445 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: and twenty three cents a gallon national average, and now 446 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: if you're living in California, you're looking at a five 447 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: handle in some places. If you're living in some places 448 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: like Texas, it's in the low twos. So I know 449 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: it varies, but the national average has gone up now again. 450 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: A year ago today it was three point fifty three 451 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: a gallon, thirty cents higher. So we're still really in 452 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: good shape. But I don't like seeing these gas prices 453 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: creeping up a little bit. Some of it has to 454 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: do with the fact that the Russia Ukraine War is 455 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: an ending in President Trump has threatened some oil tariffs 456 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: on people who buy Russian oil. Also, we're getting towards 457 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: the better warmer months of the year. When they switch 458 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: to the summer blend, we'll see what happens. But I 459 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: really think we should be seeing gas national average that 460 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: is below three dollars a gallon pretty soon, but so 461 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: far has been going in the wrong direction the last 462 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: week or so. We'll keep an eye on it, all right. 463 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: I want you to take a look at this video. 464 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: We're going to show you again because it's the sign 465 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: of the times in America. What you're looking at is 466 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: the implosion of what was once the biggest energy producing 467 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: coal plant in Pennsylvania. The coal facility is being cleared 468 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: away for a huge AI data processing center. This is 469 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: in Homer, Pennsylvania, by the way, So they're getting rid 470 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: of this old coal plant. They're going to put a 471 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: big AI processing center. But many of you watching this 472 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: are going to ask, hey, wait a minute, doesn't AI 473 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: need a lot of energy. How can they destroy an 474 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: energy plant to put an AI plant? And it's well, 475 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: that's a good question. The answer is they're going to 476 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: put a natural gas plant up right next to it. 477 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: And I am a big fan of natural gas. By 478 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: the way, it's half It has half the admissions of coal, 479 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: so it's cleaner for all you and greenies out there. 480 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: It's also basically an infinite supply, especially in this country. 481 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: Now there are some AI companies and companies investing in 482 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: AI that are also having small nuclear reactors built just 483 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: for their AI processing plants. I like that idea too. 484 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: I also want more nuclear power in America, but as 485 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: we all know, that's going to take some time. You 486 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: can get a natural gas plant up and running, especially 487 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: if it's in a smart state or a place that's 488 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: a smart city with a smart company, pretty quickly, So 489 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: it's a side of the times. I'm sorry about that 490 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: big coal plant having to go, but hey, if it's 491 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: going to be replaced properly with enough energy to replace it, 492 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: then it's okay. I guess that's progress, all right. With 493 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: the deadline for TikTok to either be sold off or 494 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: shut down fast approaching, guess what a lot of late 495 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: comers are rushing in to make a bid for the 496 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: social media media powerhouse. TikTok is a social media powerhouse 497 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: for By the way, for those of you who think 498 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: it's just kids stuff, it's not all right. Some of 499 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: the new bidders include a mobile technology company called app Lovin, 500 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: which is kind of a competitor at TikTok right now. 501 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: Also Amazon made a late bid to buy TikTok. Blackrock 502 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: is also getting into it. Saturday is the deadline that 503 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,239 Speaker 1: the Trump team is set up again. Either TikTok has 504 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: to be sold or shut down, and it'd be very 505 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: interesting to see how this goes. Saturday is the day. 506 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to get shut down. I 507 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: think the administration is going to agree either to an 508 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: extension to finalize a deal or actually announce the winner outright. 509 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: But someone else is going to get their hands on this, 510 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: and it is such a valuable property. Don't laugh at TikTok, 511 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: although they have a lot of funny stuff on there. 512 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: All right, here's another social media platform not having such 513 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,239 Speaker 1: a good day, Facebook parent Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made 514 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: his third visit to the White House yesterday since President 515 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: Trump's inauguration. He's becoming a regular visitor now. Zuckerberg was 516 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: reportedly there to lobby for the Trump administration to drop 517 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: the Federal Trade Commissions antitrust lawsuit against Meta. Now that's 518 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: even though the FEC has really been an independent agency. 519 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: I guess it doesn't hurt to try now. Zuckerberg may 520 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: have been there for another reason as well. Story I 521 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: reported a couple of days ago. The Senate is going 522 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: to be looking into just how much Meta and Facebook 523 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: did to get the Chinese government to allow it to 524 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: do business in China. For example, did they tell the 525 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: Chinese government they would help them find anti Chinese government 526 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: dissidents like Yahoo did years ago? Did they tell the 527 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: Chinese government they would help Joe Biden get elected in 528 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty? Hmmm? If I were Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, I 529 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: would do more than visit the White House. I would 530 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: start reforming what the heck is going on at his company. 531 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: That might be better than just paying a visit. And 532 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: the one million dollars which is literally like one penny 533 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: for him that he donated to the inauguration. All right, 534 00:25:47,280 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: let's get back on the road, shall we. You know, 535 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: we had a story in Politico yesterday claiming that Elon 536 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: Musk would be leaving the government service, maybe not on 537 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: his own volition. The White House said that was a 538 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: junk story, but Tesla Shares rose on that so called 539 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: news yesterday. The White House again strongly denying that story, 540 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: saying Elon Musk is on his own timeline. There was 541 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 1: no early time line to get rid of him, And 542 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: let's see how Tesla shares responded today because they were 543 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: up yesterday on the news. Now, for those of you 544 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: who think Tesla's going to be down today because the 545 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: whole market is down, you might be right. But remember 546 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: Tesla makes the top three most American made cars in 547 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: the world right now, so they will be affected the 548 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: least by the tariffs. So if you can overcome for 549 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: those greenies or people who started to love Elon Musk 550 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: yesterday but hate him now because he's aligned with President Trump, 551 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: maybe they'll see that new price tag compared to the 552 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 1: prices of other evs and change their mind. I don't know, 553 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: but Tesla is an interesting way to gauge whether or 554 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: not this story is true about Elon Musk leaving the 555 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: White House. All right, Mazda and Subaru just posted record 556 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: numbers for the month of March here in the United States. 557 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: Mazda sales jumped by sixteen point one percent, while Subaru 558 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: saw a sixteen point six percent increase. Those are big 559 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: numbers for one month. That's how they did in March. Now, 560 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: those games may have something to do with the fact 561 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: that some of the buyers were worried about tariffs. Boosting 562 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: the prices of Mazda and Subaru once they go into effect. 563 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: But like they did at midnight, I'm not so sure 564 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: about that. I know that there's been news programs that 565 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: have been talking about tariffs, but are people really talking 566 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: about tarifs all that much on main street before today? 567 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. The fact is, Mazden, Subaru have 568 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: cars that get recommended by consumer reports really regularly. Mos 569 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: has been making a comeback. I think this might have 570 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: to do with the fact that the cars are just 571 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: really good. But we'll see, We'll see how that happens. 572 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: We'll see what goes on this month. All right. Volvo 573 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: just announced the surprising leadership shakeup. Jim Rowan is stepping 574 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: down a CEO after three years at the helm. His 575 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: successor is no stranger to the role. Hockin Samuelson is 576 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: gonna come back. He was a CEO for ten years 577 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: from twenty twelve to twenty twenty two. He says he's 578 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: going to return for a two years while they look 579 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: for a long term leader. The decision to replace Rowan 580 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 1: comes despite Volvo reporting record sales, profits and revenue. It's 581 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. You just can't satisfy those Swedish people. 582 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: Unless you play Abba songs a lot, then you can 583 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: get away with anything. All right, This is an awkward 584 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: but I gotta say this, despite a massive advertising push 585 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: for its new EVS, more people bought long discontinued Dodge 586 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: Challengers and Chargers over the shiny new Dodge Daytona EV 587 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: a discontinued car. The comparison has to sting because those 588 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: vehicles were both taken off the market officially at the 589 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty three. This is a carrollary or 590 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: an addition, an appendix I should say to what I 591 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: was talking about yesterday with Ford and GM. Ford and 592 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: GM have their successful brands, which are trucks and SUVs. 593 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: For Dodge, it's muscle cars. It's not going to be 594 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: as big a company as Ford and GM is ever 595 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: going to be, even though they're combined with Chrysler and Jeep. 596 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: Dodge needs to stick with muscle cars. I don't think 597 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: they're going to be a successful brand if they switch 598 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: to EVS and continue to make this their focus. And 599 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: I think I've got the stats to prove it. People 600 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: are buying discontinued Dodge Challengers and Chargers more often than 601 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: they're buying the new Dodge charge and the new Dodge evs. 602 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: That's all I needed to say, all right. The IRS 603 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: is the largest collection agency in the world, and with 604 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: April fifteenth fast approaching, it's more aggressive than ever. In 605 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Enforcement is ramped up, and if you 606 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, waiting is not 607 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: an option. The longer you do, the worse it gets. 608 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,719 Speaker 1: Ignoring your tax troubles is the worst thing you can do. 609 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: April fifteenth marks another tax year that has passed you by. 610 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: Getting ahead of this now is the smart move. But 611 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: never never contact the IRS alone. Instead, let the experts 612 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: at Tax Network USA handle it for you. Why Because 613 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: not all tax resolution companies are the same. Tax Network 614 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: USA has a preferred direct line to the IRS, meaning 615 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: they know exactly which agents to deal with and which 616 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: to avoid. With proven st strategies to settle tax problems 617 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: in your favor, whether you oh ten thousand dollars or 618 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: ten million dollars, Tax Network USA's attorneys and negotiators have 619 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: already resolved over one billion dollars in tax debt. Talk 620 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: with one of their strategists today, it is free. Stop 621 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,959 Speaker 1: the threatening letters, stop looking over your shoulder, and protect 622 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: yourself from property seizures and bank levies. Don't let the 623 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: IRS control your future. Call one eight hundred nine oh 624 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: five eight thousand, or visit TNUSA dot com. Slash rav 625 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: April fifteenth is just around the corner. Act now before 626 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: the IRS acts first. All right, coming up? This new 627 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: anti Semitic protest at Harvard stands as evidence that the 628 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: university isn't serious about fighting hate. That's what my next 629 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: guest says. He will explain when American Sunrise Early edition continues. 630 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: It's Thursday, April third. Here are some of this morning's 631 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: top stories. That tariffs are officially here as President Trump 632 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: pushes back on unfair trade practices lodged against the US 633 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: for the last seventy plus years. Wall Street is crying, 634 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: but that's nothing new. What can we expect on Main Street? 635 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: Truth or trial balloon? A political article says Elon Musk 636 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: is set to bolt from the Trump team early, but 637 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: the White House says his timeline has never changed. Hey, 638 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: was someone trying to tear Elon and the President apart? 639 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: That's not nice. A California man shoots and kills a 640 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: pharmacy worker. He's in custody. But is this what we 641 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: get when the far left idolizes people like Luigi Mangione 642 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: And the Trump team is now focusing on pressuring Harvard 643 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: to clean up the anti semitism on campus masquerading as 644 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: pro Palestinian activism, but as Harvard really is interested in 645 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 1: that goal, American Sunrise Early Edition continues. Now, Welcome back 646 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak again. A 647 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: special welcome to those of you following on the Getter 648 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: and Rumble apps and participating in the chats. This is 649 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: an interactive program. This is not for people who just 650 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: like to sit and watch and maybe eather cheerios. Welcoming 651 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: right now. Let's welcome also right now campus civil rights 652 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: activists and former Harvard law student Ben Bdejo and Ben, 653 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: I had to have you back on this program since 654 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: you joined us last week because so much has happened 655 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: in just the last few days, particularly at Harvard, but 656 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: not just Harvard. So first off, we got the news 657 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: Ben that the Trump administration is probing Harvard for its 658 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: conduct connected to so many anti Semitic incidents on campus, 659 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: and of course a lot of money is riding on this. 660 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: Millions in funding is at stake, And what can you 661 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: tell us though about what the Trump team should focus on? 662 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 5: Sure, so thanks for having me. You know, as you said, 663 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 5: the Trump administration is reviewing nearly nine billion dollars in 664 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 5: grants and contracts and ulti year contract with Harvard. In 665 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 5: terms of what the Trumpet deministration should be focusing on, 666 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of difference in 667 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 5: viewpoint in what exactly Harvard should be doing first, but 668 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 5: there's a lot of low hanging through that Harvard should 669 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 5: be taking care of. One thing we know that we're seeing, 670 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 5: for example, is students clearly violating rules about demonstrations. They're 671 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 5: wearing masks, they're using noise amplification tools, they are using 672 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 5: unregistered student groups which they have been tooled clearly in writing, 673 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 5: it goes against Harvard policies. These are just, you know, 674 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 5: three examples of the ways that students are violating rules 675 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 5: clearly at Harvard, and Harvard isn't enforcing them. So the 676 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 5: first thing we should be wanting to see is something 677 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 5: that any school should be doing, enforcing the rules that 678 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 5: the school already has on the books. Meaning disciplining individual 679 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 5: students who break them. 680 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you brought the receipts bend because your 681 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: the viewers were just looking at a second ago this 682 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: video you shared on your x speed showing students marching 683 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: on campus using the loud speakers. And remember those are 684 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: loud speakers that are right outside classrooms, right outside libraries. 685 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,439 Speaker 1: We've talked about this before on this program. You can 686 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: have an encampment. You know, I have some problems with 687 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: those in campus, and obviously some of them go beyond 688 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: the rules, but that's a little bit harder to push 689 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 1: back on. But when you disrupt classes, when you literally 690 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: impede the civil rights of people to get an education, 691 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,439 Speaker 1: that's open and shut. Harvard should have every confidence in 692 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: removing those students, reporting them to the police, and then 693 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 1: expelling them. Shouldn't they should They really shouldn't worry about 694 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: doing that, shouldn't they? 695 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 5: Precisely, precisely, at the core, it's not just about the 696 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 5: fact that these statements and actions of many of these 697 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 5: you know, so called protesters, so called pro Palestine protesters, 698 00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 5: anti simmitic. It's that they are disruptive, sometimes they violent, 699 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 5: They are outside of student storms, outside of libraries, outside 700 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 5: of classroom buildings, yelling, screaming, marching with loud speakers. They 701 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 5: even had drums if I think the video that you're 702 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 5: showing shows that, and other videos showed even more clearly 703 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 5: they're marching with drums as students are trying to study. 704 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 5: Students should never be inhibited from being able to study. 705 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 5: Researchers and faculty should never be inhibited from being able 706 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 5: to properly teach and study. You shouldn't have any problem 707 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 5: going to the library and finding quiet so you can 708 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 5: do your work. But these so called protesters are inhibiting 709 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 5: the basic ability of all Harvard community members to do 710 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 5: their jobs, which is to be a student and to 711 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 5: study and to do research. 712 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, let's you and I issue a warning 713 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: to Harvard and all the schools like it right now. 714 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: This is again, this is open and shut stuff. I 715 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: know there are a lot of activist judges out there, 716 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: but I happen to think that a majority of the judges, 717 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: even now in America will have no problem approving major 718 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: mar lawsuits and basically a judgments in favor of the plaintiffs. 719 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 1: If you get young students saying that they couldn't study 720 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: that they couldn't get to class. And here's the other 721 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: warning for Arvard. If you don't crack down on this, 722 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: they risk the chances of becoming another UCLA. Because what 723 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: happened at UCLA is that some of the students who 724 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: couldn't get to class finally got frustrated and started pushing, 725 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: their pushing and shoving, which by the way, I support 726 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: pushing and shoving their way across these encampments to get 727 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: to class, and then UCLA called in the costs, and 728 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: now everybody's suing them. So really, this is honestly, they're 729 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: just sitting by. They're going to have a big problem 730 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: because at some point, the people who are being victimized here, 731 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: which is the regular students, are going to fight back. 732 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: And I mean that literally. 733 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 5: Well let's hope it certainly doesn't get to fight fighting 734 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 5: back physically would really be a shame at Clobber to 735 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 5: let the situation on campus de nature to that point. 736 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 5: But we're very close. For a year and a half, 737 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 5: students have been unable to function normally. The vast majority 738 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 5: of students at Harvard are just trying to do their work, 739 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 5: get a good education, and go on to do good 740 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 5: things in the world. They're being impeded from doing this, 741 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,919 Speaker 5: and I think we're likely to see more lawsuits soon 742 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 5: if Harvard doesn't stop us. And you know what makes 743 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 5: this even worse is that Harvard has already been the 744 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 5: subject of lawsuits over this conduct, and in fact is 745 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 5: still as we speak, facing lawsuits over this conduct. And 746 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 5: in response, they're inviting more lawsuits as well as their 747 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 5: vocation of up to nine billion dollars on Harvard claims 748 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 5: to care about I don't think they do care. Yeah, 749 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 5: if they did, they wouldn't be letting this continue. 750 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: So, Ben, that's not all the news. Harvard isn't the 751 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: only news that's happened since you last joined us. You 752 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: know that Columbia's interim president, doctor Katrina Armstrong, stepped down 753 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: last Friday, entirely predictable, I think, because she told the 754 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: faculty one thing, and she told the Trump administration something else, 755 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: something that you pointed out on the program here last week, 756 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: and so that really is what brought her down. But 757 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: is her resignation a sign of any progress over there? 758 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 5: I don't think her as a nation as a sign 759 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 5: of progress yet. First, as you mentioned, former president now 760 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 5: former president Coatriina Armstrong blatantly and shamelessly lied to the 761 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 5: government and then to the faculty, including for example, by 762 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 5: saying that there would be mass bands, and then it 763 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 5: was clear that the actual policy was not actually a 764 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 5: change from policies. Claire Shipman was co chair of Columbia's 765 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 5: Board of Trustees. Now she is president, but she was 766 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 5: part of the problem because she was part of the 767 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 5: Board of Trustees when Columbia lied to the government last week. 768 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 5: So I don't think much has changed. Further, just last night, Yester, 769 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 5: the afternoon into late last night, we saw four demonstrators 770 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 5: at Columbia chaining themselves to offense and it was only 771 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 5: around midnight last night that they were finally forced to 772 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 5: leave the chains were those four students were moved up, 773 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 5: you know, in the space they were, you know, chanting 774 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 5: themselves to the defense. They were chanting themselves to defense, 775 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 5: saying that they demanded to know who on Colombia's Board 776 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 5: of trustees you know, supposedly ostensibly gave the name of 777 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 5: mud Khalil and others to us to DHS, which you know, 778 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 5: I don't think is will to happen in the first place. 779 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 5: But Columbia let them remain chained to the gates, not 780 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 5: doing and even long before finally removing them. This isn't 781 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 5: a sign that Columbia is about to start being a 782 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 5: campus where students can study and faculty can do their 783 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 5: research without disruption. This looks like Columbia is essentially, you know, 784 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 5: be route on the Hudson River. 785 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not getting it right now. Finally, Ben, I 786 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: wanted to highlight another one of your ex posts because 787 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 1: I think it really is very similar to a metaphor 788 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: that I like to advance. The first I'm going to 789 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: read yours. You wrote this. Really, I think this puts 790 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,240 Speaker 1: things in perspective. Black students aren't told to tolerate fellow 791 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: students marching in KKK hoods, but Jewish students are forced 792 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: to walk through crowds of mass commas supporting students chanting 793 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: for Antifada and violent resistance they want to go to class. 794 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: It's disgusting and indefensible. Now, Ben, I think that's similar 795 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: to a scenario and a metaphor that I've been talking 796 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: about on this program, and I want you to I'd 797 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: love to get your take on it. Hey, everybody, if 798 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 1: a white student from South Africa, came to the United 799 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: States and enrolled at the University of Alabama and immediately 800 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: started coordinating with the local KKK to do marches and 801 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 1: other events on campus. I think everyone in America would 802 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: be in favor of deporting that guy. That's what's happening 803 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: with the Mahmud Khalils of the world. They are being 804 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 1: sent here precisely to do this. This is a metaphor 805 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: that I think more people need to understand. I think 806 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: it combine your message in mind, maybe we'll get some 807 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,280 Speaker 1: clarity for the American people on this issue. 808 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 5: I think that's an excellent metaphor. It would be nice 809 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 5: if we didn't have to keep drawing these analogies, because 810 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 5: it should be obvious to everyone. But between what's going 811 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 5: on with Jewish students having to experience the indignity inhibitions 812 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,399 Speaker 5: to being able to pursue their studies that bilates Title 813 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 5: six of the Civil Rights Tack. You know what we 814 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 5: know of the history of this country in the Civil 815 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 5: Rights Act, which is that we do not tolerate the 816 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 5: inhibition of students being able to study on the basis 817 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 5: of ethnicity and characteristics, ancestry, raised national origin. This has 818 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 5: to stop because Harvard and Columbia are breaking the law. 819 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 5: What they are doing is illegal. It is illegal, and 820 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,280 Speaker 5: it must stop. 821 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also stupid, I'm sorry, violent protests and yelling 822 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: and screaming on a college campus where everything else is 823 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: about debate, about discussion, about writing papers. You know, have 824 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: a forum on campus with some specific rules for these 825 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 1: people if they really want to make their voices heard. 826 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: Of course, they would never show up to anything like that, 827 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: because they just wanted to disrupt. Ben Didejo, I know 828 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: it's only Thursday, but have a great weekend, and thank 829 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: you again for joining us with these updates. Thanks all right, 830 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: coming up, David Brody is going to join us and 831 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: we're going to talk Tariff Johnny cum lately ism. I 832 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a real word, but I just 833 00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: made it up. Stay with us. That is Washington, DC. 834 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: I was showing you pictures of real America throughout the show, 835 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: and now we have to get back to the swamp. 836 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 1: But that's because we're talking with David Brody and David 837 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: has to live in the swamp. He's doing it so 838 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 1: that we don't have to welcome back to American Sunrise 839 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,399 Speaker 1: and you know, listen, David. I'm a free market guy. 840 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: I am a very big capitalist, so I understand people 841 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: who are pushing back on tariffs and things like that. 842 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: But here's my problem, David. If you had nothing to 843 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: say about the tariffs that have been levied against the 844 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: United States for the last seventy plus years, if you 845 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,919 Speaker 1: never had a problem with it, if you never said 846 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: the word tariff on your social media feed until yesterday, 847 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: that's called sanctimony, and sanctimoni is my least favorite mony. 848 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: I like money Moy the song, but I really don't 849 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: like sanctimony. And honestly, really I just don't want to 850 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: hear from those kinds of people. I'd rather hear from you. 851 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 6: Well, if you want to hear from me, then I 852 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 6: give you another money. It's all baloney. 853 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, how's that? 854 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:01,959 Speaker 4: Wait? 855 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: Did I just insult myself? I think I did. 856 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 6: Look Democrats being hypocrites on tariffs not shocking. You know, 857 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 6: they were okay with Biden's tariffs on China. Now I 858 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 6: understand these are a little bit more than just China, 859 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,840 Speaker 6: but they didn't say a word about China, and rightly so, 860 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 6: by the way. But the point is is that you're 861 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 6: gonna pick and choose what your form, what you're against. 862 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 1: So that's exactly what they're doing. 863 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 6: Look, the hypocrisy with the Democrats doesn't just end with tariffs, right, 864 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,799 Speaker 6: you look at the life issue, you know, look at 865 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 6: there's so many issues, but just take the life issue, right, 866 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 6: My body, my choice, my body, my choice. Oh wait, 867 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 6: I'm sorry, COVID get a job or you're out of 868 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 6: a job. 869 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 1: You know. 870 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 6: So this idea that this is their playbook, right, this 871 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 6: is what they do all the time. 872 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: And what struck. 873 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 6: Me yesterday, Jake specifically, is what transpired specifically in the 874 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 6: Rose Garden when all of those folks, the blue collar 875 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 6: folks of America were up there in jeans and wearing 876 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,839 Speaker 6: what they would wear on a normal work day, all 877 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 6: of that. 878 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: It was just so real. 879 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 6: And it also suggested to me that Democrats have clearly 880 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 6: lost that type of voter which is killing them, which 881 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 6: is literally killing them, and this type of stuff where 882 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 6: they're embracing, in essence, this idea that it's okay to 883 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 6: put tariffs on American goods coming in other countries. Look, 884 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 6: this is why they're losing the blue collar worker. 885 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 1: They've it's been happening for decades. Jake, Yeah, I mean 886 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: remember occupy Wall Street. I forget about that. You don't 887 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 1: even have to go back that bar. I mean you 888 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: have AOC and Bernie Sanders doing their anti oligachuy to 889 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,320 Speaker 1: or by the way, whoever labeled that should be fired. 890 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: That's the worst title of the tour I've ever heard 891 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: in my life. But anyway, whatever happened to them hating 892 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 1: Wall Street and saying that the corporate billionaires? I mean 893 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: literally now they're on TV crying about how Wall Street 894 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 1: is going to be done. The Dow is at forty 895 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: two thousand, it's going to open a thousand points lower 896 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,879 Speaker 1: where it closes today. I don't know, so for one 897 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: forty second of the value of the Now they've decided 898 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,359 Speaker 1: to change their allegiances and now they're going to cry 899 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 1: for Wall Street. I thought they're supposed to hate Wall Street. 900 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it should hopefully educate the American people about 901 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: how the messaging of the Democratic Party doesn't exactly follow 902 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: through when it comes to dollars and cents. There are 903 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 1: just as many Wall Street donors to the Democrats as 904 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: there are to the Republicans, maybe even more so now 905 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: to the Democrats. And they're going to be crying for 906 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: people who like to buy Mercedes and people who want 907 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 1: to rolls Royce and things like that. Look, I'm not 908 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: saying it's not going to hurt other parts of the economy, 909 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 1: but where is the consistency or they didn't they I 910 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 1: thought Wall Street was bad, and they're they're on TV 911 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: now on other bad networks crying for Wall Street. I 912 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: just can't believe it. 913 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 6: Well, it's not just right, as you know, Jake, is 914 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 6: not just a messaging, it's the actual policies. I mean, 915 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 6: they become the party of the elites. We've talked about this, 916 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 6: and I think the Terriff situation here is a great 917 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 6: example about how they are so concerned with walls stet. 918 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:01,720 Speaker 1: That's the bottom line. 919 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 6: You know, everybody talks about Donald Trump and everything he's doing. 920 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. 921 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 6: He is a transformational president in many different ways. But 922 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 6: I think maybe the biggest way, or at least I 923 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 6: don't want to talk about make America great again ways 924 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,399 Speaker 6: because there's all of those, but maybe the biggest way 925 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 6: he's been transformational is he's literally changed the Republican Party 926 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:24,719 Speaker 6: to be something that it was not. 927 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: It just wasn't under Reagan. It just wasn't. 928 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 6: I mean, it's very different. It's very different, and that 929 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 6: populous nature is probably going to be with us for 930 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 6: at least a generation, maybe more. 931 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I will say this, I think that he 932 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: is doing what Reagan started, however, trying to bring it 933 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: to a more blue collar America. Bring the Republican Party. 934 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan started that process, but then it really got 935 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:47,240 Speaker 1: off track. 936 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 6: Donal, But it's not the party of Reagan anymore. It's 937 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 6: not the Party of Reagan anymore. 938 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: It's not. But I think Donald Trumps trying to bring 939 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 1: that track back. All Right, American Sunrise, the Real Show 940 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: is back. It's coming up for the next two hours. 941 00:46:58,760 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 1: I'll be back tomorrow.
