1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise early edestion. Even if the US 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: keeps supporting Ukraine, it still might lose the war to Russia. 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: That's President Trump's latest message to Vlodimir's Lensky as he 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: hopes to pressure both sides into serious peace talks. The 5 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: questions about just who was in charge at the White 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: House over the last four years are getting louder. This time. 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: They're coming after a conservative group looked into just how 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: most of Joe Biden's orders were actually signed. What's the 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: cost of denying Jewish students civil rights on a college campus? 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: Try forty million dollars. That's the total federal funding yanked 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: from Columbia by the Trump administration, and the Ivy League 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: school is scrambling to respond. And here's another reason why 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: this is happening. So then Palestinian grad student at Columbia, 14 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: he's been detained by Ice and is in the process 15 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: of being deported for planning and now participate and what 16 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: looks like very clear civil rights violations. And speaking of 17 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: civil rights violations, a whistleblower says Facebook couldn't wait to 18 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: violate the privacy of every man, woman, and child in 19 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: China just to break into the Chinese market a few 20 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: years ago. Is there anything to make us think Zuckerberg 21 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: and his pals won't or haven't already done that? 22 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: Here? 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition starts now. 24 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition.

That's how we're 27 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: gonna judge you. 28 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 3: Join host Jake Novak because he breaks down the stories 29 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 3: that met. 30 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: We will be letting the public know regularly what we 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: have found. 32 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak starts now. 33 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novac. 34 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: I hope you remembered to leap forward with daylight savings. 35 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: Count me among the many Americans who, for twenty thirty 36 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: years has been calling on getting rid of this, but 37 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: we still have to live with it for now. Fingers 38 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: crossed that this will change pretty soon. But thank you 39 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: so much for joining me an hour earlier on American 40 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: Sunrise Early Edition. My guest this morning is Bradley Devlin. 41 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: He is politics editor at Daily Signal and Bradley, what 42 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: do you make of President Trump's claim now that Ukraine 43 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: could still lose the war even with USL I feel 44 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: like this is another push towards the negotiating table. 45 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 4: Don't you, of course, But I also think it's true. 46 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 4: We've seen through hundreds of billions of dollars of aid, 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 4: so it's military and financial that the Ukrainians have not 48 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 4: been able to really push back that Russian line. The 49 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 4: Russians are pretty dug in. Remember in the summer of 50 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, we were promised this massive counter offensive 51 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: that never really came. It was a lot of fired missiles, 52 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 4: it was a lot of dead soldiers, and not a 53 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: big change in the line. So if the United States 54 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 4: decided that putting troops on the ground was a way 55 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: to solve this conflict, then yeah, maybe the line might 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 4: move back towards Russia. But that is not something that 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 4: the United States signed up for. The United States is 58 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 4: not allied with Ukraine in any meaningful way, and of 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: course that would probably spark a massive NATO conflict. If 60 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: the United States hinted that it was okay for European 61 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 4: or American troops to be on the ground in Ukraine, 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 4: and with that NATO commitment, right we hear now that 63 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 4: France and other troops from Europe want to become peacekeepers 64 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 4: in Ukraine to protect the country or what's left of it, 65 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 4: And if that is to pass, then there's going to 66 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: have to be some sort of natocarbout because chances are 67 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: the skirmishes between Russia and Ukraine will follow for a 68 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 4: really long time, even if there's some sort of broker 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: agreement territory swap. So we'll see how it all pans out. 70 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 4: But I think Trump is absolutely right. This is the 71 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 4: common sense that the American people were looking for when 72 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: they elected him in November. 73 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: Well, they were looking for a clear message. I don't 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: remember President Biden or anyone in that administration ever telling 75 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: us clearly what the endgame was, and they never did. 76 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: They just kind of just said, we have to support 77 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Ukraine and here's all this money and weapons. You have 78 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: to have an endgame in a war, otherwise you have 79 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: no plan. Bradley the Herit Speaking of Joe Biden, the 80 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation has found that an alarming majority not all 81 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's executive orders and other key policies were 82 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: done by the auto pen. That's that electronic device that Frankly, 83 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, we don't have a video of anyone actually 84 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: signing a pen. I can understand that for convenience sake, 85 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: especially when the president is traveling, but just about all 86 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: of them that is giving me a little bit of 87 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: pause because of this. Perhaps you remember this revelation from 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: House Speaker Mike Johnson back in December. 89 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 5: He and I are standing awkwardly in the middle of 90 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 5: the Oval office, right over the rug coffee table, and 91 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 5: I said, Miss President, thanks for the moments. You know, 92 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 5: this is very important. I got some big national security 93 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 5: things I need to talk to you about that I've 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 5: heard and I think you know, and what do we do? 95 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 5: But first, real quickly, miss President, can I ask you 96 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 5: a question I cannot answer this from my constituents in Louisiana. Sir, 97 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 5: why did you pause LNG exports to Europe? Like I 98 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 5: don't understand. You know, liquified natural gas is in great 99 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 5: demand by our allies. Why would you do that because 100 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 5: you understand we just talked about Ukraine. You understand your 101 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 5: fuel in Vladimir Putin's war machine because they got to 102 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 5: get their gas from him, you know. And he looks 103 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 5: at me, stunned with this and he said I didn't. 104 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: I didn't do that. 105 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 5: And I said, miss President, you yes, you did. It 106 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 5: was an executive order, like you know, three weeks ago. 107 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 5: And he goes, no, I didn't do that, and he's 108 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 5: arguing with me. I said, miss President, respectfully, can I 109 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 5: could I go out here and ask your secretary to 110 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 5: print it out. We'll read it together. You definitely did that, 111 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 5: and he goes, oh, you talk about natural gas. Yes, sir, 112 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 5: he said, oh, no, I did you misunderstand? He said, 113 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 5: what I did is I signed this thing to we're 114 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 5: going to We're gonna conduct a study on the effects 115 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 5: of LERG. I said, no, you're not, sir. 116 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: You paused it. 117 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 5: I know I have the terminal, the export terminals in 118 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 5: my state. I talked to those people this morning. This 119 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 5: is doing massive damage to our economy, national security. It 120 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 5: occurred to me, Barry, he was not lying to me. 121 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 5: He genuinely did not know what he had signed. 122 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: Bradley, I'll ask you this question because I'm asking everyone 123 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: who was in charge of the White House when Joe 124 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: Biden was supposedly the president. Do you have any idea? 125 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 4: And I'll give you the same exact answer that everyone 126 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 4: else has probably given you nobody knows. You can say 127 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: that it was raw and play, and you can say 128 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,239 Speaker 4: that it was the guy who owns Call your Mother's 129 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 4: Bagels for crying out loud. Nobody knows who was president 130 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: of the United States for the last four years, and 131 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 4: that is what made the American people supremely uncomfortable with 132 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 4: Joe Biden, even before his massive flop in the debate 133 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 4: with President Donald Trump. 134 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it was probably a group of people, 135 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, to be more serious about that answer. And 136 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: this is a huge scandal. And I know he's not 137 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: president anymore, and we have a new administration, and yes, 138 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: of course we're going to move on. And anyone watching 139 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: the Trump administration's very active for six weeks is certainly 140 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: not claiming they haven't moved on. But there needs to 141 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: be some kind of investigation into this because it will 142 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: happen again. We can't have proxies and empty suits. Literally, 143 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: as President Bradley, speaking of disturbing scenarios, let's call it that. 144 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: This week a Facebook whistleblower got a story about them 145 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: in the Washington Post, and it's really upsetting. It really 146 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: talks a lot about how Facebook went to extreme lengths, 147 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: wrote a lot of letters promises, wrote of a bunch 148 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: of policies promising the Chinese government basically to give up everything, 149 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: the identity's locations, everything of everyone using Facebook in China 150 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: in order to break into the country. Now, in Facebook's defense, 151 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: they never actually did it, they never actually made the deal. 152 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: But Bradley I compared this to someone finding love letters 153 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: a significant others love letters to somebody else that are 154 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: goingung on and on and on, and then that person says, Oh, 155 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: it's nothing, it's nothing we had. We didn't end up, 156 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: I didn't end up leaving you. It's really really disturbing. 157 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: Is there anything to make us believe that Facebook isn't 158 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: already surveilling us doing things like this to us in 159 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: this country? 160 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: Oh? 161 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 4: I definitely think that Facebook has been gobbling up our 162 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: data for years and selling it. And what does that require? 163 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: Right? 164 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 4: That requires essentially what is mass surveillance, surveillance and analysis 165 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: of that data in order to share it with other 166 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 4: corporate partners or even scarier scenario, foreign governments. This is 167 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 4: why JD Vance told Margaret Brennan in that interview that 168 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 4: even though all the big tech CEOs were at the inauguration, 169 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 4: those companies are still very. 170 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: Much on notice. 171 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 4: We talked in the previous segment about the Oversight project 172 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 4: and figuring out exactly who was running the country for 173 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 4: the last four years. That's a question for Congress, right, 174 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 4: Congress has those subpoena powers. The Senate, the House can 175 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 4: do a law to figure out and expose exactly what 176 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 4: transpired for the last four years, who exactly had the 177 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: powers that the people were supposed supposedly vested upon. Joe Biden. Well, 178 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 4: this is also a question for Congress. I think Congress 179 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 4: can do a lot of investigation into this uh, into 180 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 4: this scandal, into this whistleblower report, into what exactly Facebook, 181 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 4: meta other big tech companies are collecting and providing to 182 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 4: whether that's other corporations or foreign governments. They have a 183 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 4: role to play in this, and of course the DOJ, 184 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 4: cash Fattel at the FBI, et cetera. They can play 185 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 4: an outsized role. And exactly how they go about investigating 186 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: this will, I think, determine the future of these companies, 187 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 4: because you know, the Trump administration for the last few 188 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: years has really been on the receiving end of a 189 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 4: lot of abuse from big tech companies, and of course 190 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 4: everyone went down to mar A Lago and kissed the 191 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: ring while he was president elect. That does not mean 192 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 4: that everything is history and that these companies might not 193 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 4: have hell to pay moving forward. 194 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, and memo to Meta Facebook pr you should have 195 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: let this one slide. As far as they responded to 196 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: a lot to this story yesterday on social media, including 197 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: one of them who responded to me very respectfully, there 198 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: was no nastiness about it, But to me, that was 199 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: streisand effect. Does anyone realize, you know that these newspaper 200 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: circulations aren't that strong anymore. I think the fact that 201 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: they're responding to it and basically saying, hey, it's no 202 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: big deal, we didn't actually do this, I think brought 203 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: extra attention to it. They should have let that slide. 204 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: But no one listens to me when it comes to 205 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: crisis communications. But they should, all right, Bradley, there's so 206 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: much focus right now on all the firings in DC, 207 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: the DOGE cuts and things like that. But you have 208 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: a new piece out in the Daily Signal talking about 209 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: all the people the Trump administration is hiring. Tell us 210 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more about that, Bradley. 211 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is these are numbers from the president Personnel Office, 212 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 4: led by Sergio Gore. Sergio Gore was on TV speaking 213 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 4: to Sean Hannity about how many people the administration has 214 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 4: placed in crucial roles. These are all the presidential appointees. 215 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 4: Of course, we've talked a lot about the cabinet level 216 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: nominations and confirmations, which are on record pace right now. 217 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 4: Lori Chavez Dreamer should be getting a vote in the 218 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 4: very near future. And of course, at least Deefanic, the 219 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 4: UN ambassador that's at a cabinet level position. She's still 220 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 4: a member of the House of Representatives because Mike Johnson 221 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 4: needs her to stay in order to make sure that 222 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: budget reconciliation and continuing resolutions, et cetera and all continue 223 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 4: on time. But this is awesome for the Trump administration 224 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 4: because last time around they did not have the support 225 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 4: even on the right, even amongst the right, for the 226 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 4: agenda that the president got elected on. And now what 227 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 4: you see is on day one, the PPO and the 228 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 4: Trump transition team established a beachhead of third teen hundred individuals, 229 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: and in the last six weeks they have been sending 230 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 4: hundreds of reinforcements to the front. There are many thousands 231 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 4: of presidential appointees. Some say that there's ten to fifteen 232 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 4: thousand different hires that the administration makes across the federal government, 233 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 4: and that of course pales in comparison to the absolute 234 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 4: or total size of federal workers across the Pentagon, etc. 235 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 4: And all. And so that means that the faster that 236 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 4: you can get your presidential appointees into place, and the 237 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 4: more civil servants that you could say, hey, maybe you 238 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 4: should consider taking this buyout since you're never going to 239 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 4: support the president's agenda. Right, Improving that ratio of allies 240 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 4: of the president versus people who could try to undermine 241 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 4: the president is not only crucial for the Trump administration's success, 242 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 4: it's crucial for our republic to function because, as we 243 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 4: talked about in the Joe Biden segment, well, the Constitution 244 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,359 Speaker 4: in an article two, the people vest power into the executive. 245 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 4: And if the executive does not have that power afforded 246 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 4: to him, if it's some unelected, unknown class of bureaucrats, 247 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 4: then we don't actually have a constitutional republican anymore. So 248 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 4: good on Ppo, Good on the Trump administration for knowing 249 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 4: that establishing the beachhead and sending a bunch of reinforcements. 250 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: We'll see how that ratio continues. Bradley Devlin, thank you 251 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Have a great week. Thank 252 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: you all right. Coming up, a disturbing incident near the 253 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: White House this weekend was an armed gunman shot by 254 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: the Secret Service trying to target President Trump. And now 255 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: it's going to cost them. Columbia University gets slammed to 256 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars for allowing 257 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: this kind of nonsense to continue. American Sunrise Early Edition 258 00:13:50,360 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: will be right back. Good morning New York and the 259 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: rest of the country. And good morning everyone following on 260 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: get her and rumble and to get her chat. Thank 261 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: you so much. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. 262 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm Jake Novak. 263 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 6: Hey. 264 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: The Secret Service shot an armed man near the White 265 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: House early Sunday morning. The man parked his car near 266 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: seventeenth in f Streets. That's close to an entrance to 267 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: the White House. Apparently the Secret Service had been tracking 268 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: him since he left for d C from Indiana. The 269 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: man was taken to a local hospital. I haven't seen 270 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: any new updates on his condition, but he is alive. 271 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: Some reports say he only had a BB gun. But 272 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: of course no way for the Secret Service to know 273 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: that President Trump was actually in Florida at the time 274 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: of the incident. ICE agents have arrested a student leader 275 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: of the riots and I call them riots on Columbia 276 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: University's campuses, and they're preparing to revoke his green card 277 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: and deport him. His name is Marhunjrahalil. He calls himself Palestinian, 278 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: but we all know for sure. All we know for 279 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: sure is that he worked for the infamous pro Hamas 280 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: un agency known as UNRA, and he supposedly got his 281 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: undergraduate degree at the University of Beirut. All right, here 282 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: is some video of Khalili. I'll get at that right now, 283 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: at one of those blatantly illegal student riots at Barnard 284 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: College last week. Barnard is affiliated with Columbias across the street. 285 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: It's part of the university. Disrupting classes are students studying 286 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: the library. Like you see right. There is a much 287 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: clearer civil rights violation than just an encampment on the quad. 288 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: So this looks like pretty damning evidence for this guy. 289 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: I don't think he has a really strong case. Now, 290 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: this comes as the Trump administration began the weekend with 291 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: an announcement that it is pulling four hundred million dollars 292 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: worth of federal funding for Columbia because of its failure 293 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: to protect the civil rights of its Jewish students, who 294 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: are routinely targeted by these riots pretending to be protests. 295 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: Columbia's interim president says the school wants to work with 296 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: the administration to fix the problem. Now, I want to 297 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: explain this a little bit for those of you who 298 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: are coming to this story. Honestly, as free speech advocates, 299 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: aren't a little bit worried about protests being shut down 300 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: or a student being deported, even if he is before 301 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: a national with a connection to a very pro Commas organization. 302 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: First of all, they are indeed targeting Jewish students. It's 303 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: one thing to march on campus. It's another to look 304 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: for the obviously Jewish students, the ones who have the 305 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: Jewish star necklaces or a yamica on their head and 306 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: deliberately get into their face. That is what's happening at 307 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: these protests. That's clearly a civil rights violation, especially if 308 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: those kids are on their way to class. That's what's 309 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: happening and again, as I said before, it's one thing 310 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: to have an encampment on campus that's a little bit 311 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: of a disruption, or sometimes a lot of a disruption. 312 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: I still think that's a civil rights violation, but I 313 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: can understand the legal argument saying that that should still 314 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: be protected free speech. Okay, But when you go into 315 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: a library, when you go into a classroom, as these 316 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: protesters have done on a number of occasions, now, there 317 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: is really not much of an argument anymore. You are 318 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: literally deprived of having those students their right to an education. 319 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: When you do that, and you do it over and 320 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: over again, and you're given a chance to protest elsewhere, 321 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: you're given a chance to speak out elsewhere, and you 322 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: still do it. That is a very serious problem. And 323 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: that's what's going on, and not just Colombia, but a 324 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: number of other universities. And the Trump administration may not 325 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: end up permanently pulling the four hundred million dollars from Colombia. 326 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: I understand the interim president President Armstrong at Columbia is 327 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: admitting that they have a problem and they want to 328 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: work with the administration. But let's see how far they go. Clearly, 329 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot they can do to stop this. They 330 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: have every right to call on the NYPD and fix 331 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: this problem. But what they've been doing lately is they've 332 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: been getting rid of some of these students who in 333 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,239 Speaker 1: the protests and then just not even punishing them, let 334 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: alone expelling them. This has to stop, and it looks 335 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: like we've reached a new level here where maybe something 336 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: positive will happen now that the punishments are clear. All right, 337 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: coming up, tariffs and persistent inflation have a lot of 338 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: Americans worried about the R word that's recession. You'll hear 339 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: what President Trump has to say about that. Am Are 340 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: you looking for some bargains on the used car lot? 341 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: Don't hold your breath. We'll explain in our Moving America 342 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: segment coming up. You know, we were just getting to 343 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: the point where this show had Sunrise going even before 344 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: we started, and now we do this leap ahead for 345 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: daylight saving and I'm in the dark again. We'll be 346 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: back in about three weeks, but here at Chicago, Illinois 347 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: this morning, still in the dark. I'm Jake Novak. Thank 348 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: you so much for rejoining us here on American Sunrise 349 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: Early Edition. Let's take a look at where the markets 350 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: will begin today, and that's also a little dark. Dave's 351 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: gonna start three hundred points lower if we open right now. 352 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: But look, there's some good news there. Look at crude 353 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: oil still barely at the sixty seven dollars a barrel level. 354 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: I like that, and we don't have it up here right. 355 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: Interest rates are also down. The ten year note, which 356 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: is the way that we kind of gauge our mortgages 357 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: in this country, is down to four point two five percent. 358 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: So if you're in the business of selling or buying 359 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: a house, that's good. And now it's look at bitcoin, 360 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: which is also taking a shot across the bow at 361 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: the eighty two thousand mark. Again, if you're one of 362 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: those people who thinks that bitcoin's going to go to 363 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: a million soon, you know, here's your buying opportunity. You 364 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: can't say I didn't give it to you. I'm not 365 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: selling a bitcoin, But if you believe that, then you 366 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: know you got to buy on the dips all right. 367 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: Inflation is still sticking around. You know that if you 368 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: went to the store recently. And now we have these 369 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: tariff warriors to worry about, and it's hitting a lot 370 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: of investors and a lot of consumers where it hurts 371 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: in the wallet. So well, things get worse financially before 372 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: they get better. Here's what President Trump had to say 373 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: about that yesterday, about the chances for a recession. 374 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 7: I hate to predict things like that. There is a 375 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 7: period of transition because what we're doing is very big. 376 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 7: We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing, 377 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 7: and there are always periods of it takes a little time. 378 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 7: It takes a little time, but I think it should 379 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 7: be great for us. 380 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: Of course, not all the news is bad. Even right now. 381 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: We have gasoline prices going down. I think we're going 382 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: to be below three dollars national average pretty soon. And 383 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: interest rates are also going down. So there's a lot 384 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: of data to consider. So remember that. All right, Let's 385 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: continue with those questions about energy prices and also tarifs 386 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: with our next guest, doctor Robert lou He's the CEO 387 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: of Solar Bank, which is a US and Canadian company 388 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: listed here on the Nasdaq. Doctor Lou, I just said 389 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: those trigger words US and Canada. So you know what 390 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you, how is this tariff battle 391 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: shaking out not only for your business, but really for 392 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: the economy overall so far. 393 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 6: You know, Jay, we being your wonderful northern neighbor for ages, 394 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 6: I would say, and yes, Solar Bank is listed in 395 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 6: the US on the Nasdaq as you you in, and 396 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 6: in Canada as you in, and we benefit actually from 397 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 6: the electricity demand increase in both countries. Yes, there are 398 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 6: tariff I think there's a lot of going on, but 399 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 6: we see teriff as both the challenge and opportunity. You know, 400 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 6: as you know, solars making about seven percent of US 401 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 6: electricity already, it could be more than forty percent by 402 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 6: twenty thirty five. Tariff on solar equipment could potentially slow 403 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 6: solar deployment, raise prices, and impact employment. However, those TIFFs 404 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 6: may benefit building a more resilient domestic manufacturer for the 405 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 6: solar industry. They can improve the compatitiveness of our own manufacturers. 406 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 6: We actually are working with domestic suppliers like kip Cell 407 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 6: to get more and more made in the USA equipment 408 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 6: for our one gig go as plus of solar deployment. 409 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 6: You know, we are putting American first by getting bankable, 410 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 6: available and low cost equipment domestically, right, I. 411 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: Think that you know, the American people are fine with 412 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: the all of the above energy option, especially solar, especially 413 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: when it's because of the competition and the actual free market, 414 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: which you were describing as opposed to someone from the 415 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: government knocking on your door and saying you have to 416 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: do this. So that's where I wanted to talk about. Doctor. 417 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: You say there's an opportunity for a major energy boom 418 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: in the US and Canada under President Trump. I believe 419 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: you mean that includes everything fossil fuels and renewables. You're 420 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: not you weren't just talking about the fossil fuel, because 421 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: that's all we ever hear is real baby drill, and 422 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: I love that too. But you're talking about all the 423 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: kinds of energy that we can get. 424 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 2: Correct. 425 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 6: Absolutely, it could be a real energy boom in the 426 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 6: US and Canada, mainly because of the demand of electricity. 427 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 6: You know, over the last of many the demand has 428 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 6: been very stable. However, as the you know, the technology 429 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 6: artificial intelligence data centers on so force, the demand for 430 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 6: electricity in the US expected role by sixteen percent in 431 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 6: the next five years. Right, So, so that. 432 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 8: Is why that we need to see that it's important 433 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 8: to expand all forms of the energy supply. Yes, there 434 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 8: are you know drill, baby drill. 435 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 6: We do have a lot of liquid gold and our feet. However, 436 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 6: one big reason that solars are expected to keep growing 437 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 6: is that the US need them. Solar can be built 438 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 6: very fast to meet those mounting demand. To ensure timely, reliable, diversified, 439 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 6: and affordable supply, companies and great operators are looking at 440 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 6: not only gas and co but also solar and a 441 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 6: nuclear Right you think about natural gas already producing more 442 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 6: than forty three percent of our power. The new nuclear 443 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 6: power plants will take some time to build. We can 444 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 6: use battery storage when there's short of electricity. We could 445 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 6: also delay the closing of aging copower plants. But we 446 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 6: can continue to push the solar energy to supply no power. 447 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 6: The Trump administration is very right to cut red tape 448 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 6: that is holding back energy production. As you know, solar 449 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 6: is the fastest growing source of electricity. 450 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 2: In the US. 451 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 6: We have spent more than two hundred eighty billion dollars 452 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 6: on renewable energy and this is mainly driven by the 453 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 6: federal tax credits, state mandates, and the technology advancement. And 454 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 6: those advancement have reduced the cost dramatically over the recent years. 455 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 6: As you know, there's no few costs to produce a 456 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 6: solar power there's no carbon cost and after this built 457 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 6: is very a chief the maintain. So that's economics have 458 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 6: never never been better. 459 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: All right, everyone, Doctor Lou again from Solar Bank, and 460 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: they shares by the way, they trade under this sock 461 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: tick or symbol su u N here in the United States. 462 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: You're coming off your lows from December. You had a 463 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: i think an eighty percent year to date run to 464 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: the to the upside. So I think I think the 465 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: markets are saying a lot of what you have to say, 466 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: and they're putting their money with their mouth. As doctor Orjrulu, 467 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. We're gonna speak 468 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: to you again because we need all this energy, especially 469 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: with AI and bitcoin mining. You are so right about 470 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: the need for more energy. Thank you so much. Have 471 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: a great week. 472 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: Thank you Jay. 473 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: All right, control room, let's start our engines. Well, everyone, 474 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: it is still mostly a seller's market for used cars 475 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: right now in America. The supply of unsold used vehicles 476 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: on dealer lots is up seven percent from a year ago. 477 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: That's the good news, but it's down from January. And 478 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: this is the key. The supply of the cars that 479 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: the buyers really want, the ones that are three years 480 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: old or less and hybrids. That's really the main demand 481 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: right now. That supply is extremely low. The other problem 482 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: is interest rates on used car loans remain near a 483 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: forty year high. Here's the price, by the way, the 484 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: average used vehicle listing price was twenty five three and 485 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars in February. No bargains yet. However, that 486 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: last thing I said, second and last thing about interest rates, 487 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: they are coming down. I think that we could see 488 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: that relief there. That'll get your monthly payment down at 489 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: least that's the best like an offer year right now. 490 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: All right, here's something out of the ordinary. For those 491 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: of you who follow the news regularly, and I know 492 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: you do. Workers at a car battery plant co owned 493 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: by GM and South Korea's LG have voted overwhelmingly to 494 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: join the United Auto Workers. Now, usually the UAW strikes 495 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: out no pun intended, and when it comes to plants 496 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: in the South, they don't usually get a pro union 497 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: vote there. But it could be because those Southern plants 498 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: are usually owned by foreign car makers. Now, remember this 499 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: facility is co owned by GM and their workers are 500 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: a better target for the unions because they have so 501 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: many fellow co workers at gm UP North who already 502 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: are UAW members. Is a little bit of a relationship there. 503 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm talking this up to. Let's 504 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: see how this works out. I would hate to see 505 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: some of these factories move again from away from the 506 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: United States because they're becoming too costly to hire people. 507 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: All right, here's something that's costly. The European Union had 508 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: a chance this week to rethink the EU's twenty thirty 509 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: five deadline for banning all gas powered vehicle sales on 510 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: the continent. Yes, that's just ten years away, and they're 511 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: literally still going to keep this timeline. I think it's insane, 512 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: but the EU is sticking with the plan for now. 513 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: It did relax some of the emissions levels car makers 514 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: have to meet before then. In other words, twenty thirty 515 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: five is a drop dead date, but they were giving 516 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: people certain levels that they had to cut each year 517 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: until then, so they're relaxing that. But that's not really 518 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: that much of a gift because that's just going to 519 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: make the conversion to zero that much harder. It will 520 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: be very interesting to see when the EU drops this goal. 521 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen in twenty thirty five, but 522 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: believe me, they will drop it. I'm just wondering when 523 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. They might wait until President Trump leaves 524 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: office so they can pretend it wasn't about the United 525 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: States changing its policies for the better. But this is 526 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: not gonna happen twenty thirty five. No gas powered cars 527 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: on the entire continent of year. Are you getting me 528 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: all right? Well? He tried. A twenty three year old 529 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: irishman has been jailed after he tried to buy two 530 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: cars in counties Cork and Wicklow buy photoshopping. This is amazing, 531 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: photoshopping screenshots on his phone that made it look like 532 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: he had made bank transfers to the dealer. That's a 533 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: new one. I hadn't seen that scam before. Please don't 534 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: do it to me. He got a two year sentence, 535 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: but all the three of those months were suspended. He 536 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: is going to jailman now for long. But by the way, 537 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: the guy actually did get as far as getting one 538 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: of the cars all the way back to his driveway 539 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: and keeping it there for a few days. His targets 540 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: were a pair of brand new BMWs that told more 541 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: than two hundred thousand dollars. Nice work if you can 542 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: get it all right. Coming up, maybe you've noticed that 543 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats aren't making as much noise about the Trump 544 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: order and deportation policies. That was just a couple of 545 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: weeks ago. But the polls might be the reason why 546 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: they're quieting down about that. We'll see. And what are 547 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: the polls also saying now about the economy with inflation 548 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: and new grocery store prices and all that kind of 549 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: sun Tarris peers. We're gonna ask Ace Polster, Scott Rasmus 550 00:29:40,080 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: at about that when American Sunrise Early Edition continued. It's Monday, 551 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: March tenth. Here are some of this morning's top stories. 552 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: Even if the US keeps supporting Ukraine, it still might 553 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: lose the word of Russia. That's President Trump's latest message 554 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: to Volodimir Zelensky as he hopes to pressure both sides 555 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: into serious beast talks. The markets are worried about recession, 556 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: but what about the American people going to shop at 557 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: the mall? And whom do they trust more on the economy. 558 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: Now we have some answers to. 559 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: Share with you. 560 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: This looks like the first real example of the Trump 561 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: administration getting tough on campus anti semitism. This Palestinian grad 562 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: student at Columbia has been detained by Ice and is 563 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: in the process of being deported for planning and now 564 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: participating in what looks like very clear civil rights violations. 565 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: And speaking of civil rights violations, a whistleblower says Facebook 566 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: couldn't wait to violate the privacy of every man, woman 567 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: and child in China to break into the Chinese market 568 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: a few years ago. They didn't do it, But is 569 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: there anything to make us think Zuckerberg and his pals 570 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: won't or have are already done stuff like that here 571 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: in the US. American Sunrise Early Edition continues. Now, welcome 572 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: back to American Sunrise Early Edition, and it is early. 573 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: We did go through the Daylight Savings pain yesterday. I 574 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: hope you remember it and moved your clock forward. I'm 575 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: Jake Novak, and let's get right to it with Scott Rasmuss, 576 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: and a man who understands the American people and the 577 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: way that they vote, at least better than anyone I've 578 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: ever known. He is the president of RMG Research and 579 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: the Depolitan News service, Scott, I want to start with 580 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: your poll on the border situation, because we've hearing a 581 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: dog that is embarking right now, and maybe it's because 582 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: of what you found. You found that sixty nine percent 583 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: of Americans believe both that illegal immigration is bad and 584 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: legal immigration is good, and that among those voters, only 585 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: nineteen percent think that the Trump deportations have gone too far. 586 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: Did those numbers surprise you or are they indicative of 587 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: any shift in the voting support right now? 588 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 2: They don't surprise me at all. 589 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 9: In fact, the first number, about sixty nine percent saying 590 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 9: legal immigration is good illegal is bad. That number is 591 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 9: held steady, literally for decades. It is just a deeply 592 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 9: held belief of the American people, and it's one of 593 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 9: the reasons people have been so frustrated about border security. 594 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 9: The fact that very few think among that group think 595 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 9: that deportations have gone too far not a surprise either. Overall, 596 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 9: among all voters, just thirty percent deportations have gone too far. 597 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 9: Most of those are people who really don't think we 598 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 9: should have a border anyhow. So it's the mainstream view, 599 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 9: the middle of the road view is we have a problem. 600 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 9: It's being dealt with and let's keep moving. 601 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: Now, Scott, you also did a poll about the economy, 602 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: and this is an interesting one as well, and whom 603 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: the voters trust more on this issue. It's getting to 604 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: be more serious slightly. President Trump had to answer some 605 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: questions about it yesterday. What did the voters tell you 606 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: about that? 607 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 9: Well, for a very long time, going back throughout the 608 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 9: entire twenty twenty four campaign, the top issues were inflation, 609 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 9: other economic concerns, and immigration border security. 610 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: That hasn't changed at all. 611 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 9: Right now, there's still a huge concern about inflation because 612 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 9: only thirty three percent of voters believe that their income 613 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 9: is keeping up with inflation. And yet despite all of that, 614 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,479 Speaker 9: right now, by an eleven point margin, voters say we 615 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 9: trust Republicans the Trump team more than Democrats on inflation. 616 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 9: Forty five percent trust the Republicans, thirty four percent trust 617 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 9: the Democrats. Numbers are very similar when you talk about 618 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 9: the overall economy. So what this tells me is, right now, 619 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 9: voters are saying, yeah, inflation is a concern, the economy 620 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 9: is a concern, but we recognize that Team Biden was 621 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 9: in power for four years. It's still their economy. For 622 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 9: the Trump administration. This is an early warning sign. If 623 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 9: the numbers about perceptions of the economy don't change a 624 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 9: year from now, it will be Trump's problem. So there's 625 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 9: good news at the moment. Voters trusting the team that's 626 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,479 Speaker 9: in power. Are they trusting the team in power more 627 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 9: to deal with inflation? 628 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 2: But it is something that has to be addressed, you know. 629 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: And I think that that poll and this situation now 630 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: is indicative of the biggest shift in political sentiment in 631 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 1: this country that I've ever experienced. You and I both 632 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: know that for the most part, for the last seventy years, 633 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: the American people have trusted the Republicans more on foreign 634 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: policy and the Democrats more on the economy and domestic policy. 635 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: And that has changed with President Trump, although I don't 636 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: think he's lost foreign policy support, but there's a chance 637 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: for the Republicans to get both if they don't fumble this. 638 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a huge shift, isn't it. 639 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,280 Speaker 2: It's a huge shift. 640 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 9: And one of the big things that we're saying is 641 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 9: the main street voters, not the elites, the people who 642 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 9: are working for a living. They tend to be much 643 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 9: more OPTI mystic about the Trump economic policy. Then than 644 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 9: the Democrats policy. So there is an opportunity. It ties 645 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 9: in with all the discussions we've heard in recent years 646 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 9: about the Trump ability to connect with working class voters. 647 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that may When you say main street, 648 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: I got to say, and this is something that even 649 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: a lot of Trump supporters just don't even talk about enough, 650 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: which is the doubling of the standard deduction in that 651 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: tax bill in twenty seventeen. People have no people people 652 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: in this business have no idea what an impact that had. 653 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: It was the first real trickle up tax cut. Love 654 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: it or hate it, it actually was a trickle up 655 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: tax cut, and it affected a lot of people. All right, 656 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: let's go speaking of foreign policy, let's go overseas, the 657 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: rush of the Ukraine War. It doesn't look like a 658 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: majority of the voters are going to get too upset 659 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: about President Trump cutting off, or at least threatening to 660 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: cut off Ukraine, does. 661 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 2: It, Nelick doesn't. 662 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 9: I got to tell you that one of the funniest 663 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 9: poll results that we've had in a long long time 664 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 9: highlighted the gap between the way official Washington views the 665 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 9: world than the rest of America. Does you know there 666 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 9: was that big blow up in the Oval office with 667 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 9: Trump and Zolenski, great TV. As the President said, well, 668 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 9: when you took polls, we did it right before and 669 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 9: right after that event. Absolutely no change. The American people 670 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 9: still tend to support Ukraine. They'd like to be helpful, 671 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 9: they'd like to see Ukraine win. Before the survey, forty 672 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 9: one percent thought that President Trump was more on the 673 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 9: side of Russia than Ukraine. Well, going to the poll 674 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 9: after the fact, absolutely no change. 675 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: But the key is, and this has. 676 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 9: Been consistent for a very long time as well, the 677 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 9: voters overwhelmingly say, yeah, we'd like to help Ukraine, we'd 678 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 9: like to see something we like them to win. We 679 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 9: don't like the Russians, but it is more important, by 680 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 9: a two to one margin, to keep the United States 681 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 9: out of a wider war with Russia than it is 682 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 9: to help Ukraine. 683 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I don't like the Philadelphia Eagles either, but 684 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm not going to join the offensive line for the 685 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: k C Chiefs, all right. I mean I don't think 686 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: I do a good job. I get it, all right. 687 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: This one surprised me a bit, and you send it 688 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: to me. Not only do a strong majority of Republican 689 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: voters support sending in the National Guard to protect Jewish 690 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: students on campus. But a pretty clear majority of Democrats 691 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: in your poll agreed as well. Tell us a little 692 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: bit more about this question and the response to it. 693 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been part of an ongoing series. 694 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 9: You know, we've been testing how people are feeling about 695 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 9: the you know, the disturbing rise of anti Semitism and 696 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 9: the relations between the US and Israel, and voters still 697 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 9: continue to see the US or Israel as our ally. 698 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 9: They continued not to see the Palestinians in that way. 699 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 9: In fact, a full third sday they are absolutely an 700 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 9: enemy of the United States. But the questions that we 701 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 9: got into dealt with the campus protest. Voters tend to 702 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 9: have a very negative view of the protesters, and if 703 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 9: the schools are unwilling or unable to protect Jewish students 704 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,280 Speaker 9: to let them get to class, to participate in campus life, 705 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 9: two out of three voters say we should send in 706 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 9: the National Guard. And you know, when I looked at 707 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 9: those numbers, it reminded me of a long time ago, 708 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 9: and I don't remember this, but I read about it 709 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 9: in history books, when President Eisenhower sent in troops to 710 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 9: make sure that the Little Rock nine, the black children 711 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 9: could go to school and be safe. This is something 712 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 9: that people believe very strongly in. These students have a 713 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 9: right to be in school. We're in a nation where 714 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 9: we're supposed to treat everybody equally. We're not supposed to 715 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 9: have this kind of anti Semitism, and voters want to 716 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 9: do everything they can to protect those students. 717 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: You know, the video that we're looking at right now, 718 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: are we're just looking at right before. I think that 719 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: that actually had a bigger impact on the American voter 720 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: than the video of the October seventh attacks of the 721 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: wars overseas. Americans are kind of used to seeing that, 722 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that we're desensitized to it, but 723 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: I think that seeing these protests on these campuses and 724 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: in some cases spilled over into the streets in cities 725 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 1: like New York and some other cities. I think if 726 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: you would have told me a year ago or two 727 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: years ago that this would have an effect on the 728 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four election, that an issue, you know, an 729 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: issue in Israel in the Middle East, I would have said, 730 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: I really don't think so. But this feels like a 731 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: domestic issue, doesn't it. 732 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 9: Absolutely in fact, we track that in the numbers. You know, 733 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 9: after October seventh, people were horrified. They wanted us to 734 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,959 Speaker 9: support Israel and to be protective, but you know, war 735 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 9: is messy, and over time we saw people declining in 736 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 9: their support for Israel, saying, really, we should stay out 737 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 9: of it. 738 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 2: We want the fighting to end. 739 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 9: The first time that we saw a renewed uptick in 740 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 9: support for Israel came after the protests began. And it's 741 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 9: because it's not because we're desensitized. It's because Americans don't 742 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 9: really pay that much attention to foreign policy. When things 743 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 9: happen in the United States, when there are protests on 744 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 9: campuses and elite schools, and especially when they're not being 745 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 9: dealt with, voters are saying, hey, this is an issue 746 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 9: we can deal with. This is an issue close to home, 747 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 9: and that's what has been driving the dialogue. 748 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it isn't. And again, your polls results prove 749 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 1: it something I've been saying for a long time, which 750 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: is that these protests are not meant to change hearts 751 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: and minds, which is why you really can't call them protests. 752 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: There's something else. Maybe they're attacks, maybe they're takeovers, but 753 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: they know that they're not winning hearts and minds when 754 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 1: they're doing this kind of just disgusting stuff on campuses 755 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: in the streets. Scott Rasmussen, always really great to get 756 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: your insight. Thank you so much for joining us. Very 757 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,240 Speaker 1: very important to talk to you as much as possible. 758 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: Everyone follow him on Twitter, Everyone follow him at RG 759 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: Research into Politan News Service. Thank you so much, Scott. 760 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:40,359 Speaker 1: Have a great week. 761 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 2: Thank you, have a great week. 762 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: All right, coming up, how can we keep America first 763 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 1: when the CEOs of so many big corporations are willing 764 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 1: to do anything to get business into China. David Brody 765 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: and I will talk about that when American Sunrise Early 766 00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: Edition comes right back. Oh look, everybody, it's the sun. 767 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: Why do we keep running away from the sun with 768 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: this daylight savings nonsense? We were doing so well. The 769 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: sun was up before the show started, and now we're not. 770 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 1: But anyway, that's allattered about this. The beautiful shot right there, 771 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 1: and the sun is finally here. Hopefully it'll continue as 772 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: it always has. All right, Welcome back to American Sunrise 773 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,760 Speaker 1: Early Edition, the aptly named program. Right now, David Rody's 774 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: going to be joining me in just a second. This 775 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: is a story we're going to talk about. The Washington 776 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: Post did an exclusive story on Sunday with a whistleblower 777 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: who says that Facebook, that back before they called them 778 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: sells Meta, was all ready to make an incredible deal 779 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,479 Speaker 1: with the devil in China just a few years ago, 780 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,479 Speaker 1: to basically agree to surveil the entire nation of China. 781 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: That's more than just a few people. By the way, 782 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of Chinese people in return for 783 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: allowing them to come and do business there. Now, Facebook 784 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: in the end didn't make the deal. Okay, good, but 785 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,839 Speaker 1: boy were they willing to do it. They didn't just 786 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: offer it a little phone call. They wrote up reports 787 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: and policy charts and things like that. And that gives 788 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: me pause. And I wonder if it frightened somebody like 789 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: David Brody, who was never someone who scares easily. David, 790 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: that story just gave me a lot of chills. I 791 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: don't know about you. 792 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 10: It frightened me, Jake, but it didn't surprise me. And 793 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 10: I think that's the bottom line on all of this. 794 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 10: I mean, here's the thing with Zuckerberg, right everybody's talking 795 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 10: about him CosIng up to Trump. That's exactly the word 796 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 10: CosIng up to Trump, CosIng up to power, coosing up 797 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 10: to access, CosIng up. 798 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 11: To his financial bottom line. I mean, that's what it's 799 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 11: all about. Whether it be Trump, whether it be the CCP, 800 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 11: whether it be anybody. 801 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 10: Look, he'll do business. He's Zuckerberg, will do business with anybody. 802 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 10: Morality is not a portion of his quotient here. Now, 803 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 10: let's be clear, we don't know the details specifically is 804 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 10: why he didn't get involved with the CCP. 805 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 11: But my guess is is. 806 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 10: That morality or immorality, excuse me, wasn't stopping Zuckerberg. It 807 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,280 Speaker 10: had to do something clearly with some sort of agreement 808 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,720 Speaker 10: that may have made Facebook at the time Facebook look bad, 809 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 10: or there was some sort of regulation that couldn't be 810 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 10: in place or wouldn't be in place. 811 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 11: But if he could have done it, he would have. 812 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 10: There's no doubt about that. This kind of reminds me 813 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 10: and dare I say it, I'm going to go there. 814 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 11: I don't care. I don't give a rip. It concerns me. 815 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 10: Also about Elon Musk. You know a lot of people 816 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 10: are talking about Elon Musk. Look, I want to be 817 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,479 Speaker 10: very clear, I'm all for the chainsaw stuff. Great, knock 818 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:41,760 Speaker 10: yourself out one hundred percent. 819 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 11: We should be doing that. 820 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 10: And as for what he's done on Twitter from a 821 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 10: free speech standpoint, great, two thumbs up. As Donald Trump 822 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 10: would say, having said that overall the guys a globalist. 823 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 10: I mean, let's be honest. This is the big rif 824 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 10: between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk within quote MAGA. You 825 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,839 Speaker 10: know this idea that Elon Musk is. I mean, Elon 826 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 10: Musk was not MAGA before he was MAGA. I mean, 827 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 10: you know, he's not about make America great again. He's 828 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 10: about make America financially great again. There's a big difference 829 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 10: between and that's why the H one B visa situation. 830 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 10: Sorry I'm going off now on a tangent that hel On. 831 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 11: Musk, but that's one of the H one B visa issue. 832 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 10: Cropped up between ban and Musk, because that's the demarcation line, 833 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 10: if you will, So look, I only bring. 834 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 11: Musk up to simply say that Musk, Zuckerberg. 835 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 10: All of these tech titans, if you will, have one 836 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 10: thing in mind, it's not about MAGA. 837 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 11: It's not about the movement. 838 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,359 Speaker 10: It's not about America and getting back to where we 839 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 10: were as a country. 840 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 11: It's not all about that. It's more about finances. 841 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 10: It's more about bottom line and basically trying to be 842 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 10: prosperous again, rather than culturally ready to go as a 843 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,839 Speaker 10: country again like we were back in the day. 844 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 11: That really is the big difference. 845 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought up the other because you know, 846 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: to be fair to Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg, he's not alone. 847 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,919 Speaker 1: I mean, we all remember what the NBA did. There's 848 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: a ton of company. I mean, there's really not any 849 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 1: companies in the United States who haven't been already doing this, 850 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 1: probably much more to the extent that Facebook ever actually 851 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: did it. But there's a little bit of a streisand 852 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,320 Speaker 1: effect going on here. I don't know if we have it, 853 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: but one of Facebook's metas PR people responded to me 854 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: personally to remind me that this didn't happen. And you 855 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: know what, that was a bad move by METAPR because 856 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 1: the Washington Post is not read by the same amount 857 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: of people anymore as it used to be. I think 858 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 1: that they should have responded, but waited three or four 859 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: weeks after no one's talking, because really, no one's talking 860 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: about the story as much as they should be, and 861 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: then made a new policy statement. Now more people are 862 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: talking about it. They were way too aggressive yesterday, David 863 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: in reminding everybody about this because you know, I don't 864 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: care that they didn't do it necessarily, and I'm glad 865 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: they didn't. But this is like finding love letters that 866 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: your wife has written to some other guy and heard 867 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,799 Speaker 1: her say, well, well we never got together. I didn't 868 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 1: leave you. I mean, that's supposed to make me feel better. 869 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 1: This is a bad PR move. I'm sorry to tell 870 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 1: them their job, but they didn't do a good job here. 871 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 11: That's quite the analogy. 872 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 10: And I actually agree with you on the p on 873 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 10: a PR move aspect of this. But look, I mean, 874 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 10: this is what Zuckerberg does, right. I mean, whether it 875 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 10: be China or Trump or also let's remember the Democrats, right, 876 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 10: the Zuckerberg Bucks or whatever it was called the time. 877 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 10: Was it called zuckerberg Bucks. 878 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 11: I forgot y, I mean zucker Bucks, Yeah, Zuckerbucks. Thank 879 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,919 Speaker 11: you Zuckerbucks. And that's exactly what he does, right, because 880 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 11: he was kind of. 881 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 10: Betting on what the what we like to call the 882 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,840 Speaker 10: winning horse, that's what he thought was gonna happen. Long story, 883 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 10: we'll talk about twenty twenty election another time. 884 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 11: But the point is is that he just cares about that. 885 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 11: He doesn't care. 886 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, Yeah, So who do you got coming 887 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 1: up on the show. 888 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 11: That's a great question. Let me take a look at 889 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,240 Speaker 11: the rundown now. Brian Glenn will be here of course, 890 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 11: White House Correspondent. 891 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 10: We're also going to go inside the mind of Vladimir 892 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 10: or Vladimir Vladimir of Zolensky, President Zolensky and some of 893 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 10: the financial excuse me, the psychological issues that he's having. 894 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: All right, American Son Rise is coming up. Thanks for 895 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: joining me.
