1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,119
Speaker 1: Ahead on an American Sunrise Early Edition, while the focus remains

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: on the Doge cost cutting crusade. The House narrowly passes

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: the Trump budget bill with trillions of dollars with the

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: tax cuts.

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: Now the battle moves to the Senate.

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: Ice agents are in the crosshairs in one part of

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, as their faces and personal info has plastered all.

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: Over posters in a crucial part of.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: The city that's putting their lives and the lives of

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: their families in danger. But at the other end of

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: the spectrum, the pipeline of illegal aliens is slowing down considerably.

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: Southern border alien encounters are down to a fifteen year low.

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Funeral services held today for those two little Israeli boys

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: murdered by Hamas City and Kabir Bbis and their mother,

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Shiri laid to rest in a ceremony that touched all

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: the world. And Texas Governor Greg Abbott smells a rat

17
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: in the state's lottery system that could be a sign

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: of a nation wide rigging of all the big lotto games.

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: You didn't think you ever really had a chance to win,

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: did you. American Sunrise Early Edition starts now.

21
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom,

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: and the values that built this nation takes centers.

23
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: Your good deeds and bad deeds. That's how we're gonna judge.

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: You join host Jake Novak because he breaks down the

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: stories that match.

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: He will be letting the public know regularly what we

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: have found.

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Nobak starts now.

29
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, I'm Jake Novak. Welcome to American Sunrise

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: Early Edition on this Wednesday. Thank you so much for

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: joining us. A lot of news to cover, so let's.

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: Get right to it.

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: The breaking news overnight is that the House passed very narrowly,

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: two seventeen to two fifteen. Sounds like what's the NBA

35
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: scores are going to be like these days when they

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: don't play any defense.

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: We're getting there anyway.

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: But actually that was the vote count to pass that

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Republican budget bill that include all those tax cuts and

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: also some spending cuts as well. And this happens in

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: the wake of still most of the attention that we're

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: seeing on Doge, the DOGE cost cutting programs, things like that.

43
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: My guest this morning is Tom Slocum. He is an

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: oil and gas consultant, also a former Republican candidate for

45
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: office in Texas and Tom First, I want to ask

46
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: you just a little bit about how whether this is

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that the Trump team needs to

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: prove that it's still moving ahead with business as usual

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: in Washington. I know a lot of people don't like

50
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: parts of the bill, but it isn't just about tearing

51
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: things down. I wonder if you like the fact that

52
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: they're doing so many things at once.

53
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: You know, I'm really happy to see some action straight

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: out of the game with the Trump administration on DOGE

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: in a really big way. Shocking to a lot of

56
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: leftists and Democrats that we could actually pull this off

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: in such a short period of time with what I

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: consider real accountants. Let's make accounting great again is a

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: real thing right now, and I'm happy to see it

60
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 4: because we need it more than ever. Who can trust

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 4: these big time accounting firms that have their own lobbyists,

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: Remember the Arthur Anderson's of the world.

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: Are these people that you can really trust? For me?

64
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: The answer is no, I trust you know.

65
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: The twenty two year old kids in there with the

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: crazy screen names online that everybody's making fun of I

67
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: actually trust them right now more than I trust our

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: own officials to do this, because as we know, the

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: Pentagon's never passed an audit and the spending is out

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: of control. No American is signed up for the kind

71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: of spending which they've been carrying out for the past,

72
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: you know, fifty sixty years, to be.

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Honest, Yeah, I mean, I don't want to get ahead

74
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: of the viewers here in the American people here again,

75
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Not only is what Doge is doing very popular, and it'

76
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: to show you that poll again eighty percent of the

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: people basically in favor of what DOJE is doing.

78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: But the other aspect here that.

79
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: People don't know about necessarily is that Doge and what's

80
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: going on is the number one kind of issue as

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: far as what the voters are.

82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: Thinking about and talking about.

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: My friend Scott Rasmussen doing that poll the other day,

84
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: much more interested in that than what's going on in

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: the Middle East, much more interested in that than what's

86
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: going on with Ukraine and things like that. So I

87
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: don't want to get ahead of you, but I got

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: to say something here, folks. This is a story that

89
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: you're going to get excited about, and you're going to

90
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: hear about it here first, at least on a national level,

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: and that is this scandal that is growing right now

92
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: in the state of Texas. Here's what's going on. You're

93
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of it, Tom, so I want to

94
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: ask you about it. It is a national story, I believe,

95
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: because these lotteries are a national issue. After some fishy

96
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: lottery wins in the lone Star state, Texas is now

97
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: barring so called courier services. Those are those online websites

98
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: that you can go to to buy lotto tickets, and

99
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: they're barring them in the state. Here's why those services

100
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: make it possible for big buyers, could be hedge funds,

101
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: could be foreign governments, to buy millions of tickets in

102
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: just about a couple of days, with every number combination covered.

103
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: And that is how these things start. Now, Tom, your

104
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick personally went to the store where

105
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: one of the winning tickets was sold and here's what

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: he found.

107
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: Check this out.

108
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: So I finally did get in the back of the house.

109
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 5: They wouldn't let us take any photographs or video or

110
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 5: ask anyone any questions. But there were terminal after terminal

111
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 5: after terminal after terminal, many many more terminals than you

112
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 5: would ever see in the normal place that you buy

113
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 5: lottery tickets. So there's a lot of questions and there

114
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 5: are a lot of answers that we need because the

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 5: bottom line is, if people are going to have confidence

116
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 5: in the lottery, we have to be sure that no

117
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 5: one has an advantage. And again we're not suggesting anything illegal,

118
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 5: but this is not the way the lottery was designed

119
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 5: to operate.

120
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: All right, Tom, tell us how this is a big

121
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: story in Texas right now, and your prediction on whether

122
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: this becomes a national story.

123
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: I know I've already waited on it.

124
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is an incredible story, and the Lieutenant governor

125
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: is doing the right thing here by exposing this massive

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 4: sea of corruption. What I believe has happened, this is

127
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 4: my opinion, is that you have some lobbyists in there

128
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: from these companies, these courier businesses, and I believe that

129
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: they sought permission from statewide elected officials in Texas to

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 4: you know, quote, you know, have a waiver break the

131
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: law essentially and sell these tickets overseas and sell them

132
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: to people out of state, and just make illegal sales

133
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: all around together. And now you know that it's been

134
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: exposed and it's being shut down. I really want to

135
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: see the people that approve this to begin with, because

136
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: supposedly that's what happened here. That's the secret, the big

137
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 4: secret on the inside. But you know, Dan Patrick has

138
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: taken advantage of a situation to show that he's willing

139
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: to stand up for what's right. He has his own,

140
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: you know, agenda, he's got his own pet projects that

141
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: he wants done. Everybody does when you're a statewide elected official.

142
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: But this is something that you cannot ignore because it

143
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: appears that these these tickets, maybe in some cases, we're

144
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: even being sold to China. And so once again, you

145
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: know the CCP in Hero it's China. You know, It's

146
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: like it's like the meme online every single time you

147
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: turn around, it's China. Well guess what here again, I

148
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: believe we have China. And not only that, but we

149
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: have corrupt officials because I've been told that one of

150
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: these people that is involved in owning one of these

151
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: courier services was was getting multiple winning tickets.

152
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: You know, So how is that even possible?

153
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: Because the statistical odds of that are really outrageous, you know,

154
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: and you can't ignore that, and so that's the reason

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: why this is becoming a big situation. It's almost like

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: the monopoly McDonald's scandal. If you remember that, everybody was

157
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: wondering what was going on, Well it was rigged.

158
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: Well guess what.

159
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: In this case, it's rigged and there's money that's flowing.

160
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 4: And as we know with lobbyists and politicians, as soon

161
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: as they have a lobby and as soon as they

162
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: have a business, next thing, you know, all of a sudden,

163
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: politicians they're getting these checks, they tend to look the

164
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: other way. Colony Ridge a million dollars, you know, Greg Abbott,

165
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: you know what, Hey, you know I wouldn't have passed

166
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: any of these people to be corrupt as hell, because

167
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 4: you know, now, Greg Abbott's really happy about Colony Ridge,

168
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: but a year ago there wasn't a whole lot he

169
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: was doing. Well, guess what? How long has this been

170
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: going at the lottery commission here in Texas? What do

171
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: they want to do? They want to replace it with

172
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: a gambling commission and backdoor gambling in Texas. No, we don't.

173
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: This is extremely corrupt. This is a whole other reason

174
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: why we don't need gambling in Texas. This is the

175
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 4: biggest reason we should never get gambling in Texas is

176
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: because you can't trust these people to even hold a

177
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: regular lottery where you're just drawing balls out of the

178
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: cage and saying, here's who's one.

179
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: No, that's too.

180
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 4: Complicated for these people. They need to pull the plug

181
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: on the entire thing. This is extremely corrupt. I guarantee

182
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 4: you there's money going places it shouldn't.

183
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to tell you. And also, there's no

184
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: way it's just Texas. I'm telling you that right now.

185
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: What has always stopped?

186
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: What you know? If you haven't, let's I mean, let's

187
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: I just want to explain.

188
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Really quickly before we wrap it up about this particular topic.

189
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: How this works.

190
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: If there's a let's say there's one hundred million dollar

191
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: jackpot and you have twenty five million dollars lying around.

192
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: Who has that kind of money a.

193
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: Hedge fund or a foreign countries sovereign well fund, and

194
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: they can buy twenty five million tickets with all the

195
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: number combinations. Now, why couldn't they do this before? Because

196
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: the technology wasn't there. These internet companies are buying up

197
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: these little stores like you saw on the video, tons

198
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: of terminals, in the back of the store where they're

199
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: printing out tickets twenty four to seven and they can

200
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: get that many tickets printed with all the different number combinations,

201
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: and so.

202
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: It's guaranteed money. They're going to get a winner.

203
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: That's what's going on, and it is clearly going on

204
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: in other states as well. Folks, you don't have a

205
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: chance to win these lotteries. I know you never really

206
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: thought you had a good chance, but you have no

207
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: chance and this needs to end, all right, Tom, I'm

208
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: going to ask you about something else about a story

209
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: that's coming from outside of Texas but now affects you

210
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: in Texas some a little bit different than this lottery story,

211
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: and that is something I think you can educate us

212
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: about too. As you probably know, New York Governor Kathy

213
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: Hochel is supposed to be in the process of nixing

214
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: natural gas hookups and going for all electric gas heating

215
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: all over the state.

216
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

217
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: Because prices have been going up anyway, the fact that

218
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: you would cut off natural gas would make them go

219
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: really high, and so now she's slow walking it. Tom,

220
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: can you explain to Governor Kathy Hochel the law of

221
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: supply and demand from someone who knows the oil and

222
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: gas business, please.

223
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: Me, this is outrageous.

224
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: What's going on in New York There are reading their

225
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: citizens like, you know, just lower than Earth's scum. Basically,

226
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 4: they don't think anything of you when they're limiting your

227
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: options and they want to make it as difficult as

228
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: possible to live in your state. Does this woman want

229
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 4: people to actually live there, move there, want to come

230
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 4: to New York? If so, she needs to give people options,

231
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: you know, by just charging people, you know out the wazoo,

232
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: what are you actually doing to contribute to the betterment

233
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: of your state.

234
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: You know.

235
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: I have a lot of criticisms is Greg Gabbott, but

236
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 4: I think he does want lower utility costs. And until

237
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: you get on board with hey, we need lower utility costs.

238
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 4: We need to make it easier for every American to

239
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 4: live in this world with massive inflation, you've got serious problems.

240
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 4: So the green policies really, you know, a lot of

241
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: this stuff needs to be killed off by Donald Trump.

242
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: I would like to see executive orders.

243
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: I would like to see one to where we could

244
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: actually get loans again in the oil industry and make

245
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 4: loans great again. Because if there's no loan, baby loan,

246
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 4: there's not going to be any drill, baby drill, and

247
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 4: we need to have reserve base lending RBL made great

248
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: again right now in the oil industry here in Houston, Texas.

249
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 4: That's got to happen. I want to see some action

250
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 4: from the President, I really do. I want to see

251
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: him tell Kathy Hokel, Hey, you're a crazy person. You're

252
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: going to ruin your state. You're going to bankrupt your state,

253
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: and we're not going to be here to beil you

254
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 4: out when it's all over with. So don't come looking

255
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: for a bell out when you make bad decisions and

256
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: you're way behind the ball because you decided you wanted

257
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: to take natural gas offline in the entire state of

258
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: New York. I mean, this is outrageous policy. No one

259
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: with a brain would ever do this. This is clearly

260
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 4: just virtue signaling for the Democrat Party. And look, she

261
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 4: could be a leader right now. There's no leadership of

262
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 4: the Democrat Party. She could take the mantle right now

263
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: from everyone and say, hey, you know what, we're going

264
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 4: to make New York great again. We're gonna work with ice,

265
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: We're gonna work with the administration. She's going to the

266
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: opposite direction. She's missing out on a great opportunity right

267
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 4: now as a Democrat, her own party.

268
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: That's right, big big poll boost that she could get.

269
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: And you know again, I hope everyone notices that the

270
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: two big stories we covered with Tom our wars on

271
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: the poor.

272
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: The lottery is a war on the poor. It is.

273
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 2: It's a tax on the poor.

274
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: And going for these green policies in states that have

275
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: cold winters is also a war on the poor.

276
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: That's who faces the biggest cost.

277
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: Tom Slocum from Houston, Texas, thank you so much for

278
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: joining us.

279
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: Have a great rest of your week. Thanks, Jake. My

280
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: pleasure are coming up.

281
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: A new report says angry CIA agents are becoming more

282
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: likely to revolt against President Trump by selling America's secrets

283
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: to foreign countries.

284
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: Say what you'll hear what one congresswoman.

285
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Has to say about that, and I'll have more details

286
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: on the disturbing trend of illegal immigration supporters, because that's

287
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: who they are putting ICE agents and their families in danger.

288
00:13:48,120 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: American Sunrise early edition is coming right back. You looking

289
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: live at Myrtle Ba, South Carolina. You might remember last

290
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: week I asked a question I didn't know the answer to.

291
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: What is the Mason Dixon.

292
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: Line for palm trees?

293
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: What's the Maybe someone in the Ghetter chat can tell

294
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: me what's the northernmost point in America the United States

295
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: where palm trees can grow. I assume it's somewhere in

296
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: South Carolina, and it might be Myrtle Beach for all

297
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: I know, but I'd love to hear the answer to

298
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: that question. All right, Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition.

299
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm Jake Novak, and again very special welcome to those

300
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: of you following on Ghetter and Rumble. This is a

301
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: positively frightening story I got to tell you about out

302
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles area. One part of the city

303
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: known for housing a large number of illegal aliens, is

304
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: now also home to dozens of posters with pictures of

305
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: ICE officers, their names and other personal information.

306
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: What could go wrong?

307
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: Now? Needless to say, this puts those ICE agents in

308
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: their face, families in danger. But this is precisely what

309
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: you can expect from these kinds of sanctuary cities, where

310
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: hardened criminals not only enjoy high levels of immunity, but

311
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: they feel free to threaten and even attack police and

312
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: other law enforcement agents. Who's paying for these pictures to

313
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: go up? And by the way, this is something I

314
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: want everyone to remember. The same people crying right now

315
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: over the federal workers being required to send emails to

316
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: DOGE or they who might get laid off because that

317
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: is somehow a terrible threat to them, have no problem.

318
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: They're cheering some of this.

319
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: They have no problem with putting ICE agents who are

320
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: also federal workers, by the way, have no problem putting

321
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: their faces and their names and their addresses up on

322
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: posters in areas filled with criminals. This is selective outrage.

323
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: I spoke to a former LA sheriff about this. He's very,

324
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: very worried about it. We should all be worried about it.

325
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: You don't like this policy, that's fine, But don't come

326
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: to me and say you're upset about someone having to

327
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: send an email to DOGE when you're also cheering putting

328
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: ICE agents lives in their families in dangers. Credible hypocrisy.

329
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: I know politics is a lot of hypocrisy, but this

330
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: one takes the cake.

331
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: All right.

332
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: Now, here's another real outrage, the CNN report. I don't

333
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: know how they.

334
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: Got this report, but let's let's take their word for it.

335
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: A CNN report says CIA agents who are angry at

336
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: President Trump are now more likely to sell state secrets

337
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: government secrets to foreign countries, including our enemies, because that's

338
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: they want to that's the way they want to protest.

339
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: Well, here's what Congressman A. Napoleon A. Luna told Charlie

340
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: Kirk about that.

341
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 6: I've CNN reporting that there are actual agents at the

342
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 6: CIA that would even consider selling our classified information because

343
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 6: they don't like President Trump, they don't like Republicans in

344
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 6: the White House to our foreign adversaries. I genuinely believe this,

345
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 6: that that is treason. That they will be held accountable.

346
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 6: So my message to them is, if you do that,

347
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 6: you will have the full might and force of the

348
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 6: law against you, and you will be held accountable, whether

349
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 6: that's going to prison or I would argue even harsher,

350
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 6: harsher penalties, Charlie. But also to remember, less than a

351
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 6: week ago, or about a week ago, I was announced

352
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 6: as taking over the Task Force to be the action

353
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 6: arm for President Trump and aid in the declassification efforts

354
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 6: of the GSK. Martin Luther King and RFK files and

355
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 6: then also pushing for declassification on other things covering epstein

356
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 6: to nine to eleven, to COVID nineteen, et cetera. What

357
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 6: I will tell you, Charlie is, after that task force

358
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 6: was announced, it seemed like there was a massive effort

359
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 6: to really push back against the task Force, even though

360
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 6: we don't hold declassification authority, to try to undermine our

361
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 6: efforts in executing President Trump's agendas. And then we find

362
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 6: out twenty four hours after the task force is announced

363
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 6: that the SBI finds thousands of pages of documents related

364
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 6: to that declassification executive order. And then we find out

365
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 6: last night that an SBI whistleblower, Gara O'Boyle, comes forward

366
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 6: and says that he has knowledge that there are people

367
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: at the SBI who, prior to to Tell's nomination and confirmation,

368
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 6: that they were deleting and destroying evidence related to the

369
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 6: documents that we were all requesting. So there's absolutely an

370
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 6: intelligence war happening. And what I can tell you, Charlie

371
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 6: is had President Trump not gotten elected, I do believe

372
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 6: that we would have lost this country.

373
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can guess what the rest of that sentence was.

374
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: We'd be in much Bigger Trouble.

375
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirks Show airs here on Real America's Voice

376
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: every Monday through Friday at twelve noon Eastern time.

377
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: Check it out all right? Coming up?

378
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: The competition in the weight loss injectable drug industry is

379
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: getting so heated that street pushers might even be blushing

380
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: at what one company is doing in hopes of getting

381
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: you hooked, I have the details, And how do you

382
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: feel about self driving cars? And how do you feel

383
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: about them now compared to a few years ago. Don't answer, however,

384
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: before you consider one very important thing I'm going to

385
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: bring up about them. When American Sunrise Early Edition and

386
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: our Moving America segment rolls to you just ahead. You're

387
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: looking live at Wrigley Field on the north side of Chicago, Illinois.

388
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: I have a couple of words for everyone here. Neighborhood ballparks.

389
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: That is the answer.

390
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: It makes it such a difference to go to a

391
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: baseball game or a football game. There's hardly any NFL

392
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: stadiums in actually any neighborhoods. The Buffalo bill Stadium is

393
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: I can't think of any other. They're all off of interstates.

394
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: They have no feel that neighborhood in Chicago is so

395
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: dedicated to the Cubs, restaurants, bars, parks.

396
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: It's just wonderful. That's the way you do it.

397
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: Make all the use of you can of your downtowns

398
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: and things like that. All right, let's take a look

399
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: where the markets are going to begin today. We had

400
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: a mixed day yesterday, the down one up, the Nasdaq

401
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: went way down.

402
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: I just wanted to give everybody a little bit of

403
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: a heads up.

404
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 7: You.

405
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at also, a crude oil down

406
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: to sixty eight dollars barrel level.

407
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: That's cool. I think we're going to start.

408
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: To see a national average of for gasoline at under

409
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: three dollars. A lot of you watching already have two

410
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: dollars gas, but a lot of people don't. I think

411
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: we're going to get there in the next couple of days.

412
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Potentially we're at three fourteen at the national average. Now,

413
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: let's take a look at bitcoin, because it's still struggling

414
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: right now, or at the eighty eight thousand dollars mark.

415
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: It is really treading water right now at that mark,

416
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: but it went down from ninety six just a couple

417
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: of days ago. We'll see where this goes. A lot

418
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: of you watching, probably thinking this is a buying opportunity.

419
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: If you're one of those people who thinks you're going

420
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: to see two hundred thousand dollars three hundred thousand dollars bitcoin,

421
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: this would be a time to buy. If you're worried

422
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: about it, then don't touch it. That's a simple that's

423
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: a simple advice. All right, Hey, there's a company called Nvidia.

424
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too technical technical here, but

425
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: you should know why your four oh one K is

426
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: moving one way or another or your IRA.

427
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: There's a company called Nvidia.

428
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: Not many you've heard of it, but you should because

429
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: about two years ago it became the main driver for

430
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: computer chips that are doing AI type technology. A lot

431
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: of the computer chip companies do it, but in Nvidia

432
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: got really the top market share, and they are considered

433
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: to be the top computer chip company for AI. I

434
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: know that kind of stuff is really technically, here's where

435
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: you should care. In Vidia started to go up, and

436
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: when that happened about two years ago, and that is

437
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: why the stock markets have been going up.

438
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: For the most part.

439
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: There's been a huge amount of investment in Nvidia and

440
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: other technology companies now that have anything to do with AI.

441
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: Now here's the deal.

442
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: In Vidia is going to announce their earnings numbers after

443
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: the closing belt today at four pm Eastern. How they

444
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: did during the Christmas season is what they're going to

445
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: tell us. And I gotta tell you, if those numbers

446
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: aren't good, it's going to be a big, big freak

447
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: out on Wall Street and a lot of money's gonna

448
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: get taken off the table. If they do better than expected,

449
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: that'll be fine. That probably just stay the way the same.

450
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: If they do a lot better than expected, you could

451
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: have a really big rally. So my question to you,

452
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: folks is do you feel lucky? Do you want to

453
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: bet on the markets before that earning support comes out?

454
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: Because if you're doing that, you're really making a bet.

455
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: We really don't know what their numbers are going to be,

456
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: So it's an Nvidia market.

457
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: That's what you should know about, all right.

458
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: Now, here's something else you should know about the cutthroat

459
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: nature of the injectable weight loss drug war is getting

460
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: hotter every day. This is really really intense competition. Now,

461
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: big pharmer giant Eli Lilly is kicking things up a

462
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: notch by offering lower cost, higher dosage, single use vials

463
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: of its zet Bound weight loss injectable for people who

464
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: can't afford the usual sticker price or can't get the

465
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: monthly prescription from their insurance. Now the companies that make it,

466
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: the two big players in this game are Novo Norgious

467
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: that's a Scandinavian company. They make Ozepic, you've seen those commercials,

468
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: and Eli Lilly, which makes zet Bound. I have to

469
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: tell you something. This sounds like what street pushers do.

470
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry if anyone from Big Farmer's watching and you're.

471
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: Offended, but it just does. That's what street pushers do.

472
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: They give you a high dose, low cost first hit,

473
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: sometimes for free, sometimes for a low cost, and then

474
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: they get you on the comeback. It's the comeback that

475
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: they get you on. This is what's gonna happen. Unfortunately,

476
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: I think with this zep Bound look, I don't don't

477
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. I'm not telling you everyone should

478
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: no one should take the drugs. That I'm not saying

479
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: everyone has great willpower. Will power some people might believe

480
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: is actually even a myth. I hear you, I hear you,

481
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: I hear you. But these drugs rub me the wrong way.

482
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: They have a lot of side effects. You can never

483
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: get off them if you want to stick keep that

484
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: weight loss, by the way, and now they're doing things

485
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: like street pusher games.

486
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: It really doesn't look good to me.

487
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: But hey, if doctors are prescribing, and I guess we

488
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: have to trust them that I'm staying away from those drugs,

489
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: you should probably too. Now. The airline business, that's another business,

490
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: is having problems right now. They've been taking some pr

491
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: hits lately, no thanks to some air traffic control issues,

492
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: and this incident in Chicago yesterday won't help.

493
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: Check it out.

494
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: As a Southwest Airlines jet about to land at Midway

495
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: Airport pulls up at the last second, because you see that,

496
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: there goes that little private jet right in the runway.

497
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

498
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating. Of course, so was

499
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: the owner of the private jet, the company known as Flexjet.

500
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: Preliminary reports say it was the private jet that was

501
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: told by air traffic control to hold this position. It

502
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: either didn't hear it or didn't listen. That is a really,

503
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: really frightening video that would have been a major, major

504
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: tragedy would have knocked out a major airport for god

505
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: knows how long. And yeah, thanks controlling for showing that

506
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: in a loop. Unbelievable. All right, hey, time for some

507
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: good news. I'm not all gloomy and I'm not all preachy.

508
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: This morning home Depot it reported better than expected profits

509
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: and its first comparable same store sales and numbers that

510
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: were better in two years for the Christmas season.

511
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: So you went to home Depot for the Christmas season.

512
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: Now, the reason why this is good news is more

513
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: than just because of Home Depot, home Depot shareholders and

514
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: the people who like to avoid their families by hiding

515
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: in enormous stores where you can't find anything.

516
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 2: The reason why it's.

517
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Good news is because home Depot is seen as a

518
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: indicator for the wider economy, especially in the construction and the.

519
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: Home improvement business.

520
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: So if home Depot is doing well, and we just

521
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: got news this morning that Low's home Depot's number one

522
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: competitor also did well during the Christmas season, maybe this

523
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: fear that we're about to go into a major recession.

524
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: Maybe that's not founded.

525
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: But I will say this, do not take your children

526
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: into Home Depot on a day when the PA is

527
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: on the fritz, you'll never see them again if they

528
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: get lost anyway. Home Depot shares rose three percent in

529
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: trading yesterday on that good news. So again, I'm not

530
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: all bad news, folks. Okay, control room, let's start our engines.

531
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: It was some good news, some more good news. According

532
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: to new data from Cox Automotive, the average price of

533
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: a new vehicle in the US dipped went down two

534
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: point two percent in January to forty eight six forty

535
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: one dollars. I know that's still pretty pricey, but that

536
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: January dip was the first monthly drop in five months,

537
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: so we're finally seeing a break here.

538
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: Thank goodness. All right, So, how should you.

539
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: Spend your money on a if you're really caring about

540
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: reliability and a top at safety as.

541
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 2: Your top concern.

542
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked, because Consumer Reports annual car survey

543
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: just came out, and here are three of the top choices.

544
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: I think I actually got four in the top categories.

545
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: The top mid size car was the Toyota Camra. The

546
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: top mid size suv was the Toyota Highlanders. Seeing a

547
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: pattern here. The top small pickup, though, that was the

548
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Ford Maverick, and the top small car was the Nissan CenTra.

549
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: Hey, Nissan, isn't that great news.

550
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: I've been talking for a couple of weeks now about

551
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: how Nissan got dumped by Honda. Is feeling very very

552
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: bad about itself, wondering if it's fat. It turns out

553
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: its small car was the number one recommended car by

554
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: Consumer Reports. Hey all, kidding aside. Consumer Reports isn't a

555
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: very sexy magazine. It's not Car and Driver, it's not

556
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: Motor Trend. They don't sponsor pace cars, they don't do races, but.

557
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: This is what they do.

558
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: And I've been in the television news industry for more

559
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: than thirty years. It is very hard to find someone

560
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: outside of Consumer Reports to give you an honest review

561
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: of a car. Almost all those other publications that I

562
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: mentioned deal with sponsorships and things like that. So I'm

563
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: not saying they're lying, but they're a little bit biased.

564
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes Consumer Reports boring, boring, boring, I get it. But

565
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: they give very good reliability of reports, and you might

566
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: want to check them out.

567
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: All right.

568
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: The top electric by the way, the top Consumer Reports

569
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: electric car was the model was a Tesla Model. Why

570
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: now I know I spend a significant amount of time

571
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: on this program making fun of electric vehicles. I don't

572
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: really mean to do that. I believe there is a

573
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: place for electric cars in the vehicle market, like ten

574
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: percent of a place. I'm not kidding, because they're almost there.

575
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: The data shows that in January, electric vehicles in the

576
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: United States had nine point one percent of the sales.

577
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: So again, I don't mean to be harsh, but the

578
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: thing is, if you watch the other news organizations out

579
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: there their reports on cars, or if you take a

580
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: look at other kinds of reports in the news media,

581
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: all they ever do is talk about electric cars, and

582
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: the car companies themselves talk about it.

583
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: You would think it's.

584
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: More than half the market already. It's not, because again

585
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: it's unrealistic. We need to have a little perspective. Nine

586
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: point one percent of the market is nine point one

587
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: percent of the market. It's not even ten percent. That's

588
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: about all we can do with electric cars. That's the

589
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: demand for them. I think they have a place in

590
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: the market, but my goodness, all they ever do is

591
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: talk about electric cars. I have to make fun of

592
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: them a little bit, because really, most Americans don't want them.

593
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: The ones who do can buy them. Good for you.

594
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: That's fantastic, all right.

595
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: On a similar note, there's always been a lot of

596
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: hype about self driving cars in the news media, but

597
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: that's the opposite kind of hype. Whenever you see a

598
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: story about a self driving car in the news media,

599
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: it's usually about an accident or some kind of problem

600
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: with self driving cars. But a new survey shows that

601
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: Americans are much more comfortable with self driving cars with

602
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: every passing year. Now, for those of you watching who

603
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: don't with that, I just have one request to make

604
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: of you. Before you get really upset about self driving cars,

605
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: before you say they're too dangerous, you don't trust them,

606
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: and you'd like to see them eliminated from the marketplace,

607
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: I just want you to remember one word disability. There

608
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: are millions of Americans with disabilities who are chained to

609
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: their homes, who have no access to a real full life,

610
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: can't even get to their doctor's appointments, and they live

611
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: in places where getting an uber or getting a cab

612
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: isn't really an option. And if they do, of course,

613
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: they get bankrupt really quickly. Those are expensive self driving

614
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: cars give people with slight disabilities and sometimes with major

615
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: disabilities a chance to get around while still being responsible

616
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: on the roads.

617
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 2: So before you say you don't want to see them anymore,

618
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: remember those people.

619
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: You might still come to your same conclusion that you

620
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: don't like them, but I'm asking you to consider them.

621
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: That is something I've been doing for a long time

622
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: and trying to talk about. All right, coming up, Republicans

623
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: in Congress are showing their true colors. I think some

624
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: of those Republicans by pushing back on Elon Muskin Doge,

625
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: are they just really part of the swamp.

626
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that in just a second.

627
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: And something is happening at the southern border that we

628
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: haven't seen in fifteen years, and this time it's something good.

629
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: The details will be legally migrating your way when America's

630
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: sunrise earlyer.

631
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 8: Dish, she continued.

632
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, February twenty sixth. Here are some of the

633
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: top stories this morning. The focus remains on the Doge

634
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: cost cutting crusade. But meanwhile, the House just narrowly passed

635
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: the Trump budget bill with trillions of dollars worth of

636
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: tax cuts.

637
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: Now the battle moves to the Senate.

638
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: Can you say progress Southern border alien encounters are down

639
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: to a fifteen year low. Promises made, promises kept. The

640
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: long tradition of top news media organized deciding who gets

641
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: access to the Oval Office and the White House press

642
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: room is over. The Trump team says it will now

643
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: act as the gatekeepers and it won't keep anybody big

644
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: out anyway. And this is a story that I predict

645
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: will go national. Texas Governor Greg Abbot smells a rat

646
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: in the state's lottery system that could be a sign

647
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: of a nation wide rigging of all the big lotto games.

648
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: You didn't think you really had a chance to win,

649
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: did you. American Sunrise Early Edition continues now Welcome back

650
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: to American Sunrise Early Edition. A special welcome to those

651
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: of you watching on Getter and Rumble and the Getter Chat.

652
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: You ask and I receive.

653
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: I asked you to tell me what's the northernmost point

654
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: in America where you can get palm trees with the climate.

655
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: The answer is Newport Beach, California. Thank you for everyone

656
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: who gave me that answer. I've always wanted to know, like,

657
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: how far south do you gotta go before you can

658
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: see a palm tree? Now I know, by the way,

659
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: I like hearts of palm, So if anyone wants to

660
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: send me those for my salad, I'll be very haiph Hey.

661
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: Joining me now is Daily Signal Politics editor Bradley Devlin,

662
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: And first I want to ask you about this budget

663
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: bill passing the House overnight and how that big win

664
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: for the Trump administration to the Trump White House. But

665
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: I also want to ask you about how some of

666
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: those same Republicans in the House who voted for this

667
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: bill are supposedly pushing back on Elon Musk and Doze

668
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: right now. And I want to know about again that

669
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: win for the Trump administration or whether you think this

670
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: Republican gets skittishness about Elon Musk is getting any traction.

671
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: So those two topics to start, Bradley.

672
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's start with the budget resolution. And we have

673
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 7: to remember this is just a resolution. This is basically

674
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 7: outlining the rules of the game for the policies that

675
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 7: the House and Senate are going to make in order

676
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 7: to pass the MAGA agenda. We've seen the Senate move

677
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 7: on a two bill reconciliation strategy and their budget resolution,

678
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 7: but they are shocked to a certain degree that the

679
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 7: House was able to pass this one bill deal. It

680
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 7: is a big win for the Trump administration, but the

681
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 7: real win is actually getting the policies that the administration

682
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 7: needs in order to deliver on the agenda, whether that's

683
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 7: in border security very importantly, especially as we talk about

684
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 7: trying to lower costs on energy. And then of course

685
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 7: we have the tax cuts four and a half trillion

686
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 7: dollars in tax cuts, two trillion dollars in cuts and

687
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 7: eight hundred and eighty billion of those coming from the

688
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 7: House Energy and Commerce Committee. That's going to be a

689
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 7: difficult road to hoe. So we'll see how things play out.

690
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 7: As the Senate is probably going to be able to

691
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 7: adopt quickly a one one bill resolution strategy, and then

692
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 7: they're going to have to make their policies and the

693
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 7: certain committees and kind of reconcile them between one another

694
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 7: after passing. So that's going to be interesting to see

695
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 7: as it plays out. Of the Doge Musk thing. You know,

696
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 7: these Republicans are frustrated at the executive branch because this

697
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 7: is exactly what we talk about in the federalist papers, right,

698
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 7: you want to pit ambition against ambition, knowing that human

699
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 7: nature is good, but also this mix of fallenness, and

700
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 7: so the genius of the founders was we're going to

701
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,479
Speaker 7: pit the executive branch versus the legislative branch, and they're

702
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 7: gonna butt heads, and hopefully the result is going to

703
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 7: be the best for the American people. And so with

704
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 7: the executive being assertive with Trump and Doge, well, a

705
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 7: lot of Republicans have to go back to their districts

706
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 7: and answer for that. And they're not necessarily looped in

707
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 7: on everything that the executive branch is doing. And frankly,

708
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 7: for good reason, they're not looped in, or else they

709
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 7: would be the president of the United States. So you're

710
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 7: going to have skirmishes like this. It's a natural part

711
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 7: of the constitutional order. I don't think they're mad that

712
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 7: Elon Musk is finding finding cuts, finding waste, finding fraud,

713
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 7: finding abuse. It's they are having to be. They're the

714
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 7: ones that are having to hold the bag right now.

715
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 7: And once those door Doge policies are incorporated into what

716
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 7: Congress is doing in terms of budget reconciliation and appropriations,

717
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 7: I think everyone will be much happier. Everybody will be

718
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 7: on the same page, and they'll be able to move forward.

719
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: Thank you so much about it.

720
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for clarifying that being a budget bill resolution

721
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: setting up the parameters. That's an important clarification. You mentioned

722
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: it just briefly that the border, and I think the

723
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: border was arguably a bigger issue for the voters in

724
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: this last presidential election than even the budget and even

725
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: debts and even taxes. So I'd love to get your

726
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: reaction to the news that came out yesterday that southern

727
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: border illegal alien encounters have hit a fifteen year low. Now,

728
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't think this is necessarily an unrelated story. If

729
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: you get these kinds of successes at the border, can

730
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: it help President Trump get momentum for some of his

731
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: other goals of this administration.

732
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 7: Well, I want to jump right back to the budget

733
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 7: conversation really quick. Yeah, don't understate the win though, Jake,

734
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, you were right to point out

735
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 7: that this is a massive win for the Trump administration,

736
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 7: especially after the whipping effort that had to take place.

737
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 7: This is a massive win, most importantly for Johnson. I mean,

738
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 7: if Johnson failed on this, it would be very difficult

739
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 7: for Johnson to find a meaningful path forward that includes

740
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 7: a one bill strategy. He might have had to go

741
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 7: to a two bill strategy. So I don't want to

742
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 7: I don't want to discount it. It's just the devil

743
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 7: is in the details. As they said, the reason that

744
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 7: the Biden administration failed previously in its attempt to raise

745
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 7: the minimum wage and do all these other things via

746
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 7: budget reconciliation was because they screwed up the resolution which

747
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 7: handcuffed them. As for the border, yeah, absolutely, this is

748
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 7: the number one campaign promise from the Trump administration, from

749
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 7: the Trump campaign. Delivering on it is crucially important. Not

750
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 7: only are you seeing these border crossings plummet, but you're

751
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 7: also seeing a number of self deportations. Migrants are using

752
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 7: roads that they once came up through to get to

753
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 7: the United States to go back to their home countries.

754
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 7: So there is a level of self deportation here. I

755
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 7: think what's interesting though, is as they experience is as

756
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 7: they experience these kinds of successes, Tom Home and others

757
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 7: in the administration have been honest with Congress saying that

758
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 7: if we want to scale this up, if we want

759
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 7: to undo the damage that has been done by the

760
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 7: Biden administration and thirty plus years of poor border enforcement,

761
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 7: well we're going to need resources from you all. So

762
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 7: showing that the border patrol is using these resources that

763
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 7: they already have competently gives Congress a longer leash to

764
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 7: give them more of those resources. And what are those

765
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 7: resources going to be used towards. Well, of course we

766
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 7: know there's going to be walled and there's going to

767
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 7: be more enforcement at the southern border. But what about

768
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 7: ideas like taxing remittances. We don't do that on a

769
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 7: federal level, and we are the number one country that

770
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 7: sends wages earned here back to other countries. Other states,

771
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 7: such as Oklahoma have policies that are taxing remittances. They

772
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 7: tax all remittances under five hundred dollars at five bucks,

773
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 7: and over five hundred dollars it's taxed at one percent.

774
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 7: Maybe that's something that could earn revenue, or a border

775
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 7: adjustment tax, which is both a tariff, a trade tariff

776
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 7: mechanism and an immigration mechanism to a certain degree. What

777
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 7: about workplace enforcement? How is Congress going to approach that.

778
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 7: We've seen recently lawsuits trying to prevent the Trump administration

779
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 7: from doing deportation operations in schools and churches. Well, you know,

780
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 7: people can only hide out in those places for so long.

781
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 7: They have to go to work, and that's where you

782
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 7: can find a lot of these folks and deport a

783
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 7: lot of these folks. It's not going to look like

784
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 7: massive raids with guns. I mean maybe unless someone's a criminal,

785
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 7: but it's going to look like, Hey, you know, show

786
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 7: up at a work site, talk to the managers involved,

787
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 7: talk to the people on the ground there, ask them

788
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 7: to see their paperwork. With knowledge, Right, this isn't just

789
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 7: random checks, but with knowledge that they are going to

790
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 7: find people who have abused this system and send them home.

791
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: Right.

792
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 7: That's what needs to be done, and the Trump administration

793
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 7: needs the resources to do it, and having these early

794
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 7: successes sets them on the right path.

795
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: Hey, Bradley, I only have about a minute left, so

796
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: can you give us a preview? You have a very

797
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: interesting piece in the Daily Signal now you speak to

798
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: a former USAID Office official talking about how corrupt it is.

799
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: Can you give us a little bit of a preview

800
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: of that? Just have about the thirty forty seconds left.

801
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, So this is an interview that I did with

802
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 7: Max Primak. He was the chief operating officer for a

803
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 7: time at the USAID under the first Trump administration. He

804
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 7: breaks down everything that happened with USAID in the last

805
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 7: few months, but also goes back to his early times

806
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 7: working as a member of an NGO in Eastern Europe,

807
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 7: interacting with USA for the first time and seeing those

808
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 7: just beginning parts of corruption. This is an interview that

809
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 7: I did for the Signal sit Down, which is my

810
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 7: weekly interview show. This week we'll have on Jim Justice,

811
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 7: Senator Jim Justice, and Baby Dog, so check that out.

812
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 7: This Max Primirak episode, though, was picked up by Elon

813
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 7: and it is a must watch for you to figure

814
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 7: out exactly what went wrong with USAID.

815
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

816
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: I think it's important for people to hear it. It's

817
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: just an incredible story of corruption. I probably corrupt at

818
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: the core. I think maybe the first few years under

819
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: JFK was, but after that I just think it was

820
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: used as basically some kind of a political money laundering operation.

821
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: Bradley Devlin, thank you so much for joining us. Have

822
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 1: a great rest of your week. Thanks all right, Coming up,

823
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: David Brody and I will discuss the new White House

824
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: access rules laid down by Caroline Levitt.

825
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: Is it censorship or is it.

826
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: Just finally injecting some sanity and fairness it's a way

827
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: the presidency is covered in the modern era.

828
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 2: Emphasis on the word modern.

829
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 8: Stay with us.

830
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: You're looking live, well, and that's not live, it's just

831
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: a beauty shot of Anchorage, Alaska is in this the

832
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: time of the year where they have no light in

833
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: those places.

834
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: Man, that's really bad for your mental health. But some

835
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 2: of those I guess you love it out there.

836
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: If you do morning television news like I've been doing

837
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: for years or did really early, and you have to

838
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: sleep during the day, maybe working in Alaska is a

839
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: good idea. You don't have to worry about pulling the

840
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: shades down. These are the things you think about when

841
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: you work at crazy hours. So welcome back. I'm Jake Novak.

842
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: This is American Sunrise Early Edition. And this is the

843
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: time in the show where we look into the mind

844
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: and the soul of our colleague David Brody, and he has.

845
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 2: Something to talk.

846
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: About today because we have this incredible and yet yeah,

847
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: the mind and the So this is the metaphysical part

848
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: of the show where I look within the souls of you.

849
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: No, just kidding, but we.

850
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: Had something very very not metaphysical, something very very tangible

851
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: yesterday from Caroline Levitt the White House Press Secretary. Let's

852
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: hear what she has to say about the new rules

853
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: about White House access.

854
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 9: As you all know, for decades, a group of DC

855
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 9: based journalists, the White House Correspondence Association, has long dictated

856
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 9: which journalists get to ask questions of the President of

857
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 9: the United States in these most intimate spaces.

858
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 2: Not anymore.

859
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 9: I am proud to announce that we are going to

860
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 9: give the power back to the people who read your papers,

861
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 9: who watch your television shows, and who listen to your

862
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 9: radio stations. Moving forward, the White House Press Pool will

863
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 9: be determined by the White House Press Team. Legacy outlets

864
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 9: who have participated in the press pool for decades will

865
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 9: still be allowed to join, fear not, but we will

866
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 9: also be offering the privilege to well deserving outlets who

867
00:42:55,520 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 9: have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility.

868
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: All right, So basically saying, the news media doesn't get

869
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: to choose anymore who gets to be in these briefings.

870
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: And I think, if I'm not wrong, this is alluding

871
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: to the fact that there are some outlets that actually

872
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: get more of an audience than at any given night

873
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: on a CNN or an MSNBC, and they need to

874
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: get access to me.

875
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 2: That's the headline.

876
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 1: Of course, the people are freaking you know, the usual

877
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: suspects are freaking out about this.

878
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 2: What's your take on all of this, David, Well.

879
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 10: A couple of things.

880
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 11: First of all, I know this atmosphere very well. I've

881
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 11: been around it for decades.

882
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 10: Now, let's start with this. There, no one's being kicked

883
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 10: out of the briefing room.

884
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 11: Okay, These legacy media outlets, the White House Correspondence Association,

885
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 11: they're all there.

886
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 10: They've got their seats. That's that We're talking about press

887
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 10: pool events. What does that mean?

888
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 11: You know, when you go into the Oval office, when

889
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 11: you go to Air Force one, where you follow the

890
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 11: President around town or on the road.

891
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 10: That's what we're talking about.

892
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 11: And there's an actual set of journalists that are hand

893
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 11: picked by the White House Correspondence Station Association. It's it's

894
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 11: a rotating pool. That's what the White House is talking

895
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 11: about here. Now full disclosure, Jake, I am a current

896
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 11: member of the White House Correspondence Association.

897
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 10: I've been a member before in the past.

898
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 11: This whole thing to me is utterly ridiculous because let's

899
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 11: be clear, if the White House was cutting off the

900
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 11: White House Correspondence Association from covering the president. Hello, I'd

901
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 11: be right at the top at the gate, right there

902
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 11: saying I does protest that.

903
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 10: That's ridiculous. You can't do that.

904
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 11: That's not what they're doing. That's not what they're doing that.

905
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 11: Not only do they have seats still in the briefing room,

906
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 11: but beyond all of that, let me be very clear,

907
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 11: the White House Correspondence Association, the journals that make up

908
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 11: that group are still going to be at the press

909
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 11: pool events. In other words, if you have NBC, ABC, CBS,

910
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 11: any one of the big legacy media, and believe me,

911
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 11: one of them will always be in the room. They're

912
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 11: just talking about other people in the room, but one

913
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 11: of them will be in the room.

914
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 10: Well one of those members.

915
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 11: All of those members are White House Correspondent Association members.

916
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 11: So you're therefore the White House Correspondent Association is being

917
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 11: represented in those press pool or will be represented in

918
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 11: those press pool events going forward. So this idea that

919
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 11: you know that they have to give an accurate accounting

920
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 11: about regarding the President's doings in.

921
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 10: That day, well they are. I mean, if you have a.

922
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 11: White House Correspondent Association person in the room, which there

923
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 11: will be at least one, maybe more. Then what's the problem.

924
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 11: I'm still trying to figure it out. It's not like

925
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 11: their access is being curtailed. What they don't like is

926
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 11: that the decision is being made by the White House.

927
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 11: But once again, if the decision was no White House

928
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 11: Correspondent Association reporters at all will cover the president.

929
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: Ever.

930
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 11: Yeah, I got a problem with that, big time, absolutely,

931
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,959
Speaker 11: But in this case they're still there.

932
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 10: I don't see why this really needs to be a

933
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 10: big deal.

934
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: And of course the elephant in the room is that

935
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: this is the most successful president of all time.

936
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 2: He tells you what he's thinking on his own.

937
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: He's already had more press encounters than Biden had in

938
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: all four years, by some factor of three something like that.

939
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, let's let's not ignore that fact.

940
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 10: Yeah. Well, let's also make very clear.

941
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 11: So we've got journalists now concerned about access and transparency

942
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 11: to the most accessible and transparent president in United States history.

943
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 10: I mean, that's basically what they're saying.

944
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 11: It feels a little bit like Doge and the folks

945
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 11: the Democrats saying, you know, waste, fraud and abuse.

946
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 10: I'm for it. I'm for it. It's kind of like

947
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 10: the same things, like, wait a minute, hold on what

948
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 10: it makes no sense? Shake, Oh, I'm getting I got

949
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 10: a lather, I got a lat Wait what does that

950
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 10: even mean? I got a lather anyhow, I'm lathered up.

951
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 2: Yo.

952
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: That's good because you've got two more hours to go.

953
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: American Sunrise, the eight to ten AM show, starting in

954
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: just a few moments. Don't forget to catch that. This

955
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: has been American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak, and

956
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: I will see you tomorrow.
