1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise Early Edition.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: All the nice cities are gone and President Trump is

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: showing his deep frustration with Ukrainian President Zelenski. But will

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: the tougher talk lead to peace? Could this finally be

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 2: the day that Cash Patel is confirmed as FBI director,

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: And if so, what will his first day on the

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: job look like for law enforcement in America. New York

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Governor Kathy Hochel is still seriously considering removing New York

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: City Mayor Eric Adams, but so far she hasn't offered

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: any real comments or justifications. And is there enough anti

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Trump sentiment even among New Yorkers.

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: Left to let her get away with that?

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: But Hokel has already lost a key battle as the

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: Trump Transportation Department ends the War on the Poor also

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: known as congestion pricing. Hochel bet big on the policy,

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: and now it's dead, and Elon Musk says the Dose

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: team is saving America so much money already it might

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: warrant sending every American taxpayer a stimulus check.

Speaker 2: This is no longer the days when you have to

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: watch and just sit there and be passive, So please

35
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: weigh in.

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm checking it a number of other people.

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: Hey, joining me now to talk about some of these

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: top stories and also be interactive is Daily Signal columnist

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: Jared Stepman.

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: He's also the author of the very new book The War.

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: On History, The Conspiracy to Rewrite America's Past. Hey, Jarrett,

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: President Trump seems to be frustrated, to.

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: Say the least.

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: Vy Zelenski, do you think the Ukrainian president really is

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: being a roadblock to peace and maybe warrants that frustration.

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: I don't think he'll ultimately be a Roebock to piece.

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: I think this is his last minute attempt maybe to

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: court Europeans and hope that apparently there's going to be

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 4: some kind of grand pushback against Trump. He bet big

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: on courting the Democrat Party in the United States. He

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 4: went with a kind of left strategy in the last

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: few years. I think that ultimately is going to prove

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: out to be wrong. I can understand why Trump now

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 4: is frustrated with him because many of his demands that

55
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: for instance, he take back all the territory that Russia

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 4: gained over the years is just unrealistic. It's pie in

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 4: the sky at this point. U currying his ways offensive

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three that mostly failed. What it didn't

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 4: Kursk has mostly failed. What Trump is doing, I think

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: is being real, which.

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: I know you've said, you know, I think one of

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: the things that I think is stark for people is

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: that it's that Zelensky has been for not just the left,

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: but also some people even on the right, or at

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: least the moderates. This cult figure, this guy that everybody loves.

66
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: He's such a wonderful guy. Now when I say his

67
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: name in certain circles, I get so many groans, and

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: they're not surprised by this rhetoric from President Trump, but

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: it's amazing. It's I think it's an example of you know,

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: to keep this domestic just for a second. I think

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: it's an example of the divide in America. There are

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: millions of Americans who really have not been happy with

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: Zelensky for a long time. And I think that there's

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: a lot of Americans, especially in that middle of the

75
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: road character is certainly who you know, maybe even people

76
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: who consider themselves mainstream Democrats, who have no idea that

77
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: there's anyone in the world who has any problem at

78
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: all with their hero. And this is a problem not

79
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: only of Zelensky's policies, which you laid out, but I

80
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: think it's also very indicative of the divide in America,

81
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: where there are a lot of people who are just

82
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: not informed about the news.

83
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely.

84
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: It makes you think of Vance's speech in Munich, where

85
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 4: there were so many shocked faces that how could anybody

86
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 4: be telling this, this straight up truth to the audience.

87
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: I think that's what's happening here too, and especially because

88
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 4: there are some things that are shocking to do a

89
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 4: lot of Americans, like the fact that Zelenski hasn't held

90
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: an election. I mean, even in the American Civil War

91
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 4: there was an election of Abraham Lincoln. I mean, even

92
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: the Confederacy held an election. At this time, it's a

93
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: little shocking to hear that Ukraine doesn't. Now that's not,

94
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: I think unusual thing in.

95
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 5: That part of the world.

96
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: But there are a lot of Americans who don't see

97
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: Zelensky as this messianic figure, don't see him as Winston

98
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: Churchill two point zero, and have become very cautious about

99
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 4: the fact that the United States has spent a lot

100
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: of treasure, some of which has gone missing in the

101
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: last few years, on a war that seems to be

102
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 4: at this point going nowhere.

103
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

104
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: Well, the good news is, Jared, that we now know

105
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: that tens of thousands of Americans voted in those Civil

106
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: War elections and they're still getting Social Security. All right, Jared,

107
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: this could be the day or it could be the

108
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: night that we finally get cash Mattel confirmed as the

109
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: director of the CIA.

110
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Do you think that's going to happen?

111
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: And how will that do you think unleash some of

112
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: the things that we still haven't seen as far as

113
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: what the Trump administration wants to do.

114
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think this is going to happen.

115
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: I think he's really gained all the Republican support that

116
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 4: he needs now to get him through. Of course, Democrats

117
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: will vote unanimously, I think against this. This was a

118
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: very big deal. I thought it was interesting that Republican

119
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: Chuck Grassley gave a speech saying Cash Mattel, the reason

120
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 4: that Democrats are opposing him is because they're afraid that

121
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 4: he's going to do to them what they did to

122
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: their domestic opponents.

123
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 5: I think that that's very much true, and I don't

124
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: think he is.

125
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 4: I think he's come with a clear message that some

126
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: of the corruption that's happened within a Department of Justice,

127
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: the FBI, targeting American citizens, weaponizing the agency is simply unacceptable.

128
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: That's not what Americans think about or should think about

129
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: when they think about the FBI, which is I think.

130
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: Really gotten out of control.

131
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: He's a reformer and that's what Trump ran on, That's

132
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: what he came into office. I think a lot of

133
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 4: Americans now have seen the dangers of the weaponization of

134
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: our agencies. Kashatel's been I think, very clear on this

135
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 4: on his message, and I think he'll carry it out.

136
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: You know, Jared, I know you're a historian, and this

137
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: reminds me of that reform movement in American politics in

138
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: America's cities in the late nineteenth century going into the

139
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: twentieth century. Here in New York, we had one guy

140
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: named Nicholas Murray Butler who ended up becoming a president

141
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: of Columbia University, then began the mayor. There is a

142
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: there is an historical precedent for this kind of large

143
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: reform of and let's see if it goes. Speaking of

144
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: reforms and changes, and speaking of New York City, ding Dong,

145
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: the witch is dead congestion pricing, which I think the

146
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: rest of America needs to understand. This is not just

147
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: a New York story. I've been talking about this ree year.

148
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: There is a concerted effort and war against the poor

149
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: in this country and charging people, working people extra money

150
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: to come into the largest city in this country with

151
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: all the jobs, extra money to come in with a

152
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: very exorbitant toll. I believe it is a war on

153
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: the working class and the poor. The Truman administration has

154
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: ended it. Is there any other way to discuss this.

155
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: I know the environmentalists are talking about this, but Why

156
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: is it always the poor that have to pay the

157
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: big price for what the environmentalists want to do.

158
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a huge cash grab, is what it is.

159
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 4: It was a deeply unpopular law. I thought that the

160
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: way this went down was extremely sneaky on behalf of

161
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 4: the governor.

162
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: They waded through the election. They didn't put it in

163
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: during the election.

164
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: Because that would be unpopular, But as soon as the

165
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: election was done, that's when they slap down this law.

166
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: Even though it's not supported by either Democrats or Republicans,

167
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: it's a very unpopular law. They try to get this

168
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: thing through without any popular support, which I think is

169
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: quite incredible. And you're right, this is a war on

170
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: the poor, especially given the fact that the so called

171
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: public transportation in the city has said so many issues

172
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: with crime in the last few years. They're telling people

173
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: to take the subway despite the fact that on the

174
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: subway you have a lot of people fair vaders who

175
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: have not been paying their fair share in these tolls.

176
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: They don't go after them, but they're gonna go after

177
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: law abiding citizens charge the exorbitant prices just to travel

178
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: in New York.

179
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 5: And who's to say that they're gonna stop there.

180
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you see obviously some of the

181
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 4: nine dollars charges what not going through the city. We

182
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 4: know that's gonna that's that's gonna go up, that's gonna change.

183
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 4: So I think it's been an obnoxious law. I think

184
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: there's gonna be a lot of people who are happy

185
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: to see it, to see it nuked.

186
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, you know, it's not just about the

187
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: crime on the subway. If you could guarantee me that

188
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: the money from congestion pricing would really go to improve

189
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: and make the public transortation better, then I could. I

190
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: could hear the argument. But you know it's not going there.

191
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: At best, it will go to pay for the pensions

192
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: of the retired workers, which is a really underfunded pension.

193
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: And that's it. We're lucky. That's it. We're lucky, all right.

194
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: But now it's not gonna happen. And that's I think

195
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: it's a really great win for the people of New

196
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: York and the people of this country because it now

197
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: indicates to all of us that if our local city

198
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: or our local state infringes on our rights and attacks

199
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: the poor, there is a friend for those people in

200
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: the White House to help stop that all right, Jared. Lastly,

201
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: tell us about your new column about the legacy news media.

202
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: You know you talked about it a little bit earlier

203
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: this JD.

204
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: Van speech in Munich and about how the legacy news media

205
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 2: is all in. I've been saying this for years, journalists

206
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: against the First Amendment, they should really just call themselves that.

207
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: But here they are again another chance to mend their

208
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: ways at least be in favor of free speech, and

209
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: they blew it, right, jareded.

210
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 5: They totally blew it.

211
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 4: It's amazing, especially when Vance during that Munich speech called

212
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 4: out the violations of free speech in Europe. You would

213
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: think this would be an opportunity for them to do

214
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: their job as journalists and try to find out the

215
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: cases in which free speech have been violated. After all,

216
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 4: their defenders to the First Amendment protects their right to

217
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 4: do what they do. But instead you had sixty Minutes

218
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 4: that had a segment that very gleeful support of the

219
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 4: Germans going after free speech in their country, going after

220
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 4: so called hate speech and people who are posting mean

221
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 4: online memes. It was incredible seeing the face of sixty

222
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 4: Minutes as Sharon A. Phonsie, who seemed practically gleeful during

223
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: the segment and going to the Germans and saying, well,

224
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 4: that's a shiny example for the United States.

225
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: Makes one thing.

226
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 4: Do they want censorship for Americans in such a way?

227
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 4: I think that the reality is they do. And again,

228
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: shame on them. I mean, they're supposed to be members

229
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: of the media, they're supposed to be defenders of free

230
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: speech in the First Amendment. In many ways they seem

231
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: to be just simply gatekeepers on what is considered acceptable

232
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 4: speech across the Atlantic and here in the United States.

233
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know it's evolved.

234
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: I remember sixteen seventeen years ago Thomas Freedman from The

235
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: New York Times waxing poetically about how he wishes the

236
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: United States could ban all plastic bags like China does

237
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: because they don't have democracy. That was bad enough. But

238
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: now they're cheerleading this attack on free speech. It's incredibly short.

239
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: Don't they know? Don't they know that this will come

240
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: back to bite them? Apparently not.

241
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: Hey, Jared Stepman, thanks for joining us. Tell us again

242
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: the name of your book and where people can get it.

243
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's called the War History, the Conspiracy to rewrite

244
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 4: America's past. They can find it on Amazon at Birds

245
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 4: and Noble. They can also find it a regulary, which

246
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: is my publisher's website.

247
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: Right, and if you don't buy it, the German police

248
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: will come and arrest you.

249
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: Just kidd it all right, coming up?

250
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: How come I never got away with these kinds of

251
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: stupid excuses when I was in school. La Mayor Karen

252
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: Bass really had a new one to explain why she

253
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: wasn't in her city when the worst natural disaster in

254
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: American history struck her town. And speaking of La and

255
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: all of California, you saw these anti deportation riots a

256
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 2: few weeks ago on the LA Freeway. But how do

257
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: most Californians think about illegal aliens? How do they think

258
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: about them? A surprising new poll is out and I'll

259
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: have it for you.

260
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 6: Next.

261
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: Beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico.

262
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: I've never actually been there, but my parents say that

263
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: they visited there while my mom was pregnant with me.

264
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: So do I get to check that on my book?

265
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

266
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 2: Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak again.

267
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: Great comments in the Getter check Edin rumble, one of

268
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: the viewers saying that people on the Mayflower are still

269
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: getting Social Security checks.

270
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: Hey, they've lived that long, they deserve it all right.

271
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: Hey, frequent American Sunrise Early Edition guests and good friend

272
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: of mine, Scott Rasmussen.

273
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: He's an amazing pollster. He recently pulled California.

274
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: Voters about how they feel about illegal immigration.

275
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: This is interesting.

276
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: Now, before he gave out the numbers yesterday, he asked

277
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: everyone on x to guests what percentage of those voters

278
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: disapproved of illegal immigration in those pots policies and thought

279
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: that illegal immigration was bad for America in the state. Now,

280
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: he asked people to guess how many Californians member California's

281
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 2: super blue state, and the average guess was interesting. People

282
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: guess fifty four percent. They were guessing a majority. Well,

283
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: they were way off. The actual number is seventy two percent. Hey,

284
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: that's in California. Maybe we really do need to take

285
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: a closer look at voter fraud out there. If seventy

286
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: two percent of Californians, and those are the ones who

287
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: are willing to say in a survey think that illegal

288
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: immigration is wrong, hurts the state, hurts the country. I'm

289
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: having a hard time believing that the Democrats win elections

290
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: there by twenty points. Something's going on there. Maybe, hey, listen,

291
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 2: maybe it isn't fraud. Maybe it's just a bunch of

292
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: people there thinking they have no chance to win. Come

293
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: out to the ballot box. Maybe you find out what happens.

294
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to keep my flag planted squarely

295
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: in California. Here for a second, to show you what

296
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: La Mayor Karen Bass had to say when she was

297
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: asked why she took that trip to Ghana when there

298
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: were serious warnings about wildfire very likely coming to Los Angeles,

299
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: and of course that's what happened.

300
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: Listen to her, is at your excuse.

301
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 7: I'm going to go to Ghana, which I know you've

302
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 7: said was a mistake now, but I just am curious

303
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 7: on the thought process behind it. Well, because we know

304
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 7: that there was warnings about the weather before you went,

305
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 7: and you still went. What was the thought process behind

306
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 7: going to Ghana?

307
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 8: So let me just tell you a couple of things.

308
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 9: First of all, when the White House called and asked

309
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 9: me if I would represent the president, I said yes.

310
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 8: It was going to be a very.

311
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 9: Very short trip over a weekend and two business days.

312
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 9: We need to look at everything about the preparation and

313
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 9: all of that for the fires, because I think when

314
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 9: we evaluate that, we will find that although there were

315
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 9: warnings that I frankly wasn't aware of, although there were warnings,

316
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 9: I think our preparation it wasn't what it typically is.

317
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: Mayor Bass went on to say that we need to

318
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: have an investigation to see.

319
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: Why she was allowed.

320
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: This is the terminology she used why she was allowed

321
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: to go to Ghana. I've heard of passing the buck,

322
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: but this is like passing nine hundred rounds of buck

323
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: shot and an entire canon. And by the way, you

324
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: didn't know that the buck in the phrase passed the

325
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: buck refers to buckshot. You learned a little something right now,

326
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: didn't you. Hey, I didn't know that until yesterday. I

327
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: always thought it meant like passing a dollar around. No,

328
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: it's buck from buckshot, and they use pieces of buckshot

329
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: when people used to play poker, and you'd pass it

330
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: around to say who was dealing, and you didn't want

331
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: a deal, so you'd passed the buck.

332
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: You learned things on this show, all right.

333
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: You don't learn anything from Karen Bass though, other than

334
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: she's really a disaster. All right, Okay, I'm still staying

335
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: with California as an issue, because what to do about

336
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: that state for Republicans was a key issue on Day

337
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: one of Sea Pack in Washington, d C. In one

338
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: panel moderated by our own Steve Bannon, the voting rules

339
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: in the Golden State, which are referring to before, we're

340
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: discussed and it ain't pretty worse.

341
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 8: Every day and the House there was a moment correct

342
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 8: me if I'm wrong. There's a moment that the House.

343
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 8: I mean you were con confident, but it was hanging

344
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 8: in the ballots.

345
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, certainly everything depended upon taking the House, right, I

346
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 10: mean we hid the worst case, which you know was

347
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 10: not good, of course.

348
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 8: And I mean it's it's really importantcause I talked about

349
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 8: the show. I mean the California laws. It's the state laws.

350
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 8: They control this. The way they have their laws, they

351
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 8: have the war worse than New York.

352
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: It's no rules.

353
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 8: I mean, it's no post marks. It's ballots can.

354
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 10: I mean they actually I mean, of course it's illegal,

355
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 10: but they actually can produce the ballots after the fact.

356
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 8: There's zero safeguard on it.

357
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 10: I mean you could say, oh, I forgot to mail

358
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 10: it a week later and then go drive it and

359
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 10: hand it in, so it's the worst holder for there's

360
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 10: no the ballot does not have to be in a

361
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 10: federal post office marked like before midnight of I think

362
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 10: that the And I'm not a lawyer, right, I'm an

363
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 10: operative that's been you know, doing all this. But we

364
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 10: need a very sustain federal and I think we will

365
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 10: because I know it's a top concern because.

366
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 8: Do you might have see that or controls if anyone's

367
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 8: from California.

368
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 10: I mean, the whole almost the whole ballgame is California

369
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 10: in New York. And when you come down to it,

370
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 10: that's what decides. I mean, that's how we rip the

371
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 10: speakership from Nancy Pelosi. We fifth the fild to those

372
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 10: seas in California, and we filed those seas in New York.

373
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 8: And that's how we took it away from her.

374
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: Steve Bannon's War Room airs every Monday through Friday here

375
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 2: on Real America's Voice at ten am Eastern time. All right,

376
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 2: coming up, You've heard of Israel's Iron Dome, but the

377
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: new iron beam.

378
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: Does the same job for a lot less money.

379
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: And guess what all of Israel's neighbors are responding in

380
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: an interesting way.

381
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: I think you can guess what that is.

382
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: And you may be cheap, But are you Toyota Corolla

383
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: Axio Chief you've ever heard of this car? You won't

384
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: believe the average price, and you'll have to act fast

385
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: if you want to get one. You also have to

386
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: fly to Japan. But you gotta see this. That's part

387
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: of our daily Moving America segment. Drive into you in just.

388
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: A few minutes.

389
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 6: Stay with us.

390
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: So welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. Let's take

391
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: a look at where the markets are going to begin today.

392
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: It looks like a lower open. We've had an interesting

393
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: scenario the last couple of days where the markets have

394
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: open lower or not that strong, and then they close

395
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: higher for the day. There's been two modest gains in

396
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: a row. Remember we didn't have any trading on Monday

397
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: because it was President's Day.

398
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: That's very interesting.

399
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: Another thing that's really interesting to me is that bitcoin

400
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: is having one of those rare moments where it's not

401
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: moving in a really big way. It's been was at

402
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: ninety six thousand dollars level for days and days and days.

403
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: It's now at the ninety seven thousand dollars level. It

404
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: doesn't usually stay at that. It's an only move a

405
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 2: thousand bucks a day here and there. He usually moves

406
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: a lot more over the course of at least a week.

407
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: So we'll have to see if that starts to move.

408
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: But it is moving higher now. Was stuck at ninety

409
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: six for a while. Now it's at ninety seven to

410
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: four Bitcoin.

411
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people think it's going to take off again.

412
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with him.

413
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: I just don't know how high it's going to go,

414
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: but I think we're going to see one hundred k

415
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: pretty soon again on bitcoin. That's my guess, not my advice.

416
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: I am not a financial advisor, all right. This has

417
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: not been an easy few months for the folks that

418
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 2: United Healthcare. Of course, the biggest shock was the murder

419
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: of CEO Brian Thompson on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk. You'll

420
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: all remember that instead of sympathy, the killing has given

421
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: lots of critics of the health insurance industry an excuse

422
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: to bash UNH and it's peers. So imagine working there

423
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: right now and having to deal with that. Well, now

424
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: you've got someone else to deal with. Now the company

425
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 2: is announcing layoffs. Well, there will be layoffs if not

426
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 2: enough employees take buyout options by March third. Got to

427
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: really make your decision pretty quickly. Career person at a company,

428
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 2: and you got like less than two weeks to decide

429
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: whether you want to take a buyout.

430
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: Not a lot of time.

431
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: UNH shares are down about sixteen percent since Thompson was murdered.

432
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: They're flat right now. Twenty six year.

433
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: Old Luigi Mangione was arrested for the killing. Remember, but

434
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: he is pleading not guilty, and we'll see that trial

435
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: is going to be very interesting. A lot of activism

436
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: around that trial. I don't know if there's going to

437
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: be justice there. I certainly hope there will be. All right,

438
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: If you're a history buff, you know one of the

439
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 2: ways America won the Cold War was by spending so

440
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: much on our defense that the Soviet Union couldn't keep up. Well,

441
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: Israel is finding a way to save money on defense

442
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: and still get similar results. This is interesting. This is

443
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: the iron Beam system. Iron Beam that uses lasers to

444
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: take down enemy rockets and drones, and those lasers cost

445
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: a lot less than the anti ballistic missiles that are

446
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: used by Iron dome right now, Remember iron Dome and

447
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: iron beam jointly created by and the United States, so

448
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: it's technology of the United States.

449
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: Is allowed to use.

450
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: And of course there are reports that and President Trump

451
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: wants to start to deploy more iron Dome batteries here

452
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: in the United States. But iron beam is interesting because

453
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 2: it is simply apparently something like two dollars for every

454
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: rocket that's shot down by the lasers.

455
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: That's it.

456
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: That's a huge savings and it's also an added safety

457
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: because when you take down those rockets there's a little

458
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: shrapnel that comes down. This will be eliminate the shrapnel

459
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 2: by fifty percent because you're only shooting down the incoming drone. Now,

460
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: Israel's emerging Gulf state allies like Saudi Arabia, the UAE,

461
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: and Bahrain are all covering the iron beam technology. They're

462
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 2: covering it very well in their own news media, and

463
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: now they want it too. But it's not clear if

464
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: the Israelis will share it with anyone again other than

465
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: the United States. But as anyone knows that if you

466
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: know anything about military history and the history of weapons,

467
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: one country doesn't keep the weapon for very long, and

468
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 2: in this case, two countries. Eventually it will get out there,

469
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: so you keep having to you to keep having to innovate.

470
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: But this is a major innovation and a money saving

471
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: one that will have the same result as spending a

472
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: lot of money on something.

473
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: All right, I couldn't resist.

474
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: Maybe they should change the name of the fast fashion

475
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: chain for Ever twenty one to for Never twenty one

476
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: because the company is struggling, folks. It's struggling to find

477
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: a buyer. It is two choices right now. If it

478
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: doesn't find that buyer, it can declare a second bankruptcy,

479
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: or it can call a bunch of liquid eaters and

480
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 2: just hold a fire sale for everything that's still in

481
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: their stores. So far, Forever twenty one is leaning towards

482
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: the latter, and that could mean the chain is going.

483
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: To disappear very quickly forever. Okay, I couldn't resist. Sorry

484
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: about that. Hey.

485
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: Robert O'Neil is a former Navy seal. He's the one

486
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: credited with shooting Osama bin Laden. I don't know why

487
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: they say they have to officially say credit it. I

488
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: guess they can't say he officially did it. He did

489
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: it all right, and he's a hero. But now he's

490
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: helping you get high a new mission.

491
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: Legally.

492
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: O'Neil is the founder of Operation Canna Company, a veteran

493
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: owned cannabis company in New York.

494
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: Oh, why the heck not.

495
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: I guess I'm alone in thinking that he's a little

496
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 2: late to be getting into this. Feel like the legal

497
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: cannabis business is really crowded. How about a new idea

498
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: other than legalized weed. I don't mean to be too critical,

499
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: but I'm in the news business, and I like new

500
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: and I'm biased in favor of new things. But you know,

501
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: we've come a long way in America. If this were

502
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: twenty years ago and I was doing a story about

503
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: a Navy seal now selling weed, it would be a

504
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 2: very different kind of story, wouldn't it. All Right, Control room,

505
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: let's rev the engines. All right, let's start moving America

506
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: today with an update on the Ford F one fifty.

507
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: This is the number one vehicle in America. By the way,

508
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: we're still looking at the data from last year. There

509
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 2: are some auditing companies that are saying the RAV four

510
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: too to wrap four outsold the Ford F one fifty

511
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty four.

512
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: We shall see.

513
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: But still obviously this is a dominant, dominant vehicle in America,

514
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: and not just the number one truck. Remember this is

515
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: the best selling vehicle for the last forty years. But

516
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: the company is now delaying the rollout of what was

517
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: going to be the next generation F one to fifty

518
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 2: and F series trucks. They're delaying it all the way

519
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: until twenty twenty eight. Why because the company wants to

520
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: see how the Trump tariff policy shakes out before it

521
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: tinkers with the goose that lays the golden egg. If

522
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: this is your one vehicle that keeps your company in business,

523
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: you don't want to change it.

524
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: They don't want to make a big change now that.

525
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: Is expected to be you know, they're expected to offer

526
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: some kinds of gas and hybrid combination at Ford F

527
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: one fifties, and that's going to be in the next

528
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: generation and they just don't want to mess with that

529
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 2: and try that until they find out what's.

530
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 1: Going on with the tariffs. Now.

531
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 2: You might remember a few years ago, the Ford F

532
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: one fifty was first offered.

533
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: In aluminum, and that was a huge, huge.

534
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: Revolution for people who really rely on those trucks and

535
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: people who are really fans of those trucks. Ford got

536
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: through it. It remained a huge seller even though they

537
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: made that change. Maybe they don't want to tempt fait

538
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: twice until they have a little bit more time to

539
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: deal with it. I don't know if you can blame

540
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: with them it is. It is such a big seller

541
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: and such a symbol of America.

542
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way, all right.

543
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 2: This whole Honda Nissan breakup is starting to feel like

544
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: one of those Caddy reunion shows on Real Housewives, not

545
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: that I ever watched such a program anyway. Honda is

546
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: now speaking out about why they didn't do the merger.

547
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 2: It says it didn't want to go through with it

548
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 2: because Nissan wasn't cutting enough of its weaker production lines

549
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 2: than staff. Nissan says not so fast that it's not true,

550
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: and it is actually making those cuts now anyway, And no,

551
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't look fat in these pants. And it's stating

552
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: its new personal trainer named Sven. All right, this is

553
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: really getting nasty. But we wish the best for Honda

554
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: Nissan and all their business and romantic endeavors in the future.

555
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: All Right. There's a cheap way to do things, and

556
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: then there's a really cheap way to do things.

557
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: The Toyota Corolla Axio is really cheap, like eleven thousand

558
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 2: dollars retail price cheap.

559
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: Did you know this?

560
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: The popular model is about to leave the market, though

561
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: for good. You don't have much time. Toyota will end

562
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 2: production of the Axio in Japan in October of this

563
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 2: year after thirteen years. The Axio was made specifically for

564
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: the Chinese, for the Japanese market, i should say, and

565
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: it was a really popular choice for motor pools and

566
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: people who enjoy seeing American tourists try to squeeze into

567
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: a small one. That must have been fun to see.

568
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: But honestly, it is an amazing car. It had thirteen

569
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 2: year run eleven thousand dollars. It was actually also sold

570
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 2: in Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Macau, New Zealand, Singapore and

571
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: Sri Lanka.

572
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: That is a cheap car. We're gonna miss.

573
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 6: It, all right.

574
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: We'll also probably soon be saying goodbye to the electric

575
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: and hydrogen powered Nicola trucks. Nicola. Now this whole company

576
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: is going to go away. Nicola is declaring bankruptcy and

577
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: the shares are down to forty one cents apiece. So

578
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: to be clear, one share of Nicola stock is now

579
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: cheaper than one Ricola throat lodging. Moral of the story,

580
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: don't mess with those Swiss cough drop makers. They will

581
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,959
Speaker 2: destroy you. Less than five years ago, Nicola shares were

582
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: trading for more than twenty eight hundred dollars each, now

583
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: forty one cents each. That is one heck of a

584
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: calm down. I hope you didn't invest at the high

585
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: of Nicola. All right, Coming up, President Trump has lost

586
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: patience with Ukrainian President Zelenski?

587
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: Or is something else going on?

588
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: As the push for peace between Ukraine and Russia heats

589
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: up really for the first time in years, And now

590
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: that President Trump has issued a call to defund schools

591
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: with DEI programs, how will colleges and public schools respond?

592
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: Or should I say, how should they respond? Or get

593
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: some answers from one state school's chief.

594
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 8: Just ahead.

595
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: It's Thursday, February twentieth. Here are some of this morning's

596
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 2: top stories. All the nice cities are gone, and President

597
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: Trump is showing his deep frustration with Ukrainian President Zelenski.

598
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: But is this giving too much of a boost of

599
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin and Will the tougher talk actually lead to peace?

600
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: That's the goal, right?

601
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: Could this finally be the day that Cash Betel is

602
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 2: confirmed as FBI director And if so, what will that

603
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: mean for the rest of America? As law enforcement gets

604
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: a facelift. New York Governor Kathy Hochel is still seriously

605
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: considering removing New York City Mayor Eric Adams, but so

606
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: far she hasn't offered any real comments or justifications for this.

607
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: And is there enough anti Trump sentiment even in New

608
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: York to let her get away with that? And America's

609
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: college campuses are running out of time to eliminate DEI

610
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: programs or lose federal funding. Will they try a bunch

611
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: of tricks or actually give meritocracy a chance? American Sunrise

612
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: Early Edition continues now, Welcome back everyone to American Sunrise

613
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: Early Edition. I'm Jake Novac, so happy you're joining me

614
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: on this Thursday. I know it's cold in most of

615
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: the country, so stay at home and watch the show.

616
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: That's my doctor's orders to you, all right.

617
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction. That

618
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: means he's in charge of the K through college schools there.

619
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: Just it's fancy title. His name is Ryan Walters, and

620
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: Ryan Hey tell us about this DEI demolition deadline.

621
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: That's what I call it, and what you think it

622
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: could mean for America.

623
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 11: I think it means great things in America's future. I

624
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 11: think this is what an America First ajenda looks like,

625
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 11: by saying, look, we're gonna use meritocracy, not DEI to

626
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 11: determine coming to college here, what we're teaching here, what

627
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 11: education is going to look like. And so we did

628
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 11: away with DEI here in our state two years ago.

629
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 11: It was one of the first states to do that here,

630
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 11: and it's been tremendous in our education system. And President

631
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 11: Trump doing this across the board is huge for the

632
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 11: country because again, what we've seen in our colleges or

633
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 11: university systems, our K twelve systems, is continually going against

634
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 11: America what the American dream is all about, which is,

635
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 11: no matter where you come from, no matter what your

636
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 11: background is, you can be successful and there's opportunity here

637
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 11: in America. Intent Instead, under Joe Biden, we strangle those

638
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 11: opportunities by saying, well, only if you're a certain color

639
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 11: and only if you believe a certain way do we

640
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 11: give you those opportunities.

641
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 5: That's no more that.

642
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 11: That is an incredible, incredible step by President Trump here.

643
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that the making a deadline is important.

644
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 2: If they hem and hab at it and give them forever,

645
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: then they'll find ways to hide it, they'll find ways

646
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: to do other things, and they'll find ways to undermine everything.

647
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: And listen, I think I think you would agree with

648
00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: me on this.

649
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: Obviously, we don't have a perfect meritocracy and it probably

650
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: never will be one, just like we're not gonna have

651
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: paradise here on earth. But good luck, especially in a school.

652
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: Good luck living in a world where we're not at

653
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 2: least trying. You know, there's a professor at Cornell University,

654
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: his name is Robert Frank whose entire scholarship is that

655
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: everything is luck. All your success is luck. It's luck,

656
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 2: it's luck, it's luck. And I asked him once in person,

657
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: if that's the case, do you grade? Do you give

658
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: grades out in your class? And he's clammed up. I mean,

659
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: why would you give grades if it's all luck? Why

660
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: didn't you just roll the dice? I mean, the man

661
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: was a fraud. You can't have a non meritocracy regime

662
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: in a school.

663
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: That's the worst place to have it.

664
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: You know, you want to have you want to play favorites,

665
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: do it on a sports team. I mean that that's

666
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: terrible too, but whatever, I would live with that at

667
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: a school. We just can't have it all, right, Listen, Ryan,

668
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: states like Oklahoma where you're from, have had run ins

669
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: with the federal government for a long time, not just

670
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: the Biden team and over and over.

671
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty obvious. Now.

672
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: I wonder what you think about Cash Battel taking over

673
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: the FBI, which should happen today tonight, probably tomorrow.

674
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: At the latest. How could that change? How could a

675
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: new FBI.

676
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: Help you and help states like Oklahoma get out from

677
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: under the kind of bad interference that you can get

678
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: sometimes in the federal government.

679
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 11: Look, I think Cash Pateel is one of the most

680
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 11: significant appointments we've seen in maybe decades, because again, I've

681
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 11: gotten no cash.

682
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of years.

683
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 11: And what you have here is someone who actually understands

684
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 11: and knows how to demolish the deep state, and someone

685
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 11: who's dedicated to his core to do that. To your point,

686
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 11: here in Oklahoma, we've seen this drastic overreach from the

687
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 11: federal government. And it always comes with the concern of

688
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 11: are the Feds going to politicize their roles and come

689
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 11: in here and try to undermine conservative states. We saw

690
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 11: them attack President Trump. We saw them attack those around

691
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 11: President Trump. It has undermined the integrity of our institutions.

692
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 11: Cash Pattel, I mean, you want to talk about it,

693
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 11: first of all, like a guy that knows how to

694
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 11: do it.

695
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: But let's talk about a guy who is determined to

696
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: do it.

697
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 11: This is a guy who is just rock solid in

698
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 11: his belief system, is understanding of where America needs to go.

699
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 11: He's not scared of the fight. He wants to dive

700
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 11: in there. I think what you see is you have

701
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 11: the deep state of shuddering in DC right now with

702
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 11: the thought that Cash Bottel could be.

703
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: Running the FBI. I think it's huge.

704
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 11: I think it's monumental. I think it helps bring that

705
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 11: faith back in our country and our FBI program. So

706
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 11: I think it's huge. I think it changes a lot.

707
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what could go wrong on an FBI founded

708
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: by an extremely racist, closeted, insane individual named Jay agar Hoover.

709
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: What could it go wrong?

710
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: The idea that it's only gone wrong recently is laughable

711
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: to me, and thankfully get it's under new management. I

712
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: don't know how they could do worse, but I think

713
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: it will do better. All right, now, listen, I've got

714
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 2: you here. You're from the state of Oklahoma, and this

715
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: is an important angle on the Russia Ukraine War and

716
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: President Trump's efforts to end it. Because what a lot

717
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: of people don't know about Vladimir Putin's power is that

718
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: it has a lot to do with energy. It has

719
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: a lot to do with the fact that Europe really

720
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: relies on Russian oil and also natural gas. I know

721
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: now you're listening because Oklahoma is such a natural gas power.

722
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: It's one of the things that's really transformed the state

723
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: over the last decades. Tell me how if the United

724
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: States under President drum is able to get natural gas

725
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: imports or in our case, exports, US natural gas exports

726
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: to Europe. I'm telling you right now, it's going to

727
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 2: make a huge difference in forcing Vladim Reputin to back

728
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 2: down on things because we won't have that.

729
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: Power over the rest of Europe.

730
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: But tell me what it would mean for Oklahoma to

731
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: get massive LNG natural gas exports coming.

732
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: Out of that state and other places like it.

733
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, you know, you know it's huge. I mean,

734
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 11: for far too long we've dealt with these kind of

735
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 11: green energy policies of Biden Harris, where where they literally

736
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 11: are holding back the states, holding back the country on

737
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 11: what we can produce. In Oklahoma, we're ready to go.

738
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 11: Natural gas, oil, we are absolutely ready to go. And

739
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 11: what that means is really unleashing the economy, unleashing the

740
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 11: resources that God bless our country with. Let's go, let's

741
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 11: use them. Let's continue to allow the economies here in

742
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 11: our country to prosper. We don't need to be doing

743
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 11: this any longer. With the arm behind our back. I mean,

744
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 11: what a ridiculous forum. I mean, it is. It's an

745
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 11: energy policy, but it is a foreign policy. We have

746
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 11: continued to have a hand tied behind our back by

747
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 11: not unleashing what we can do here in our country

748
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 11: through our energy sectors. We're ready to go here in Oklahoma.

749
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 11: We love our natural gas, our oil companies. We're ready

750
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 11: to go. Let's unleash it. And again, it can play

751
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 11: a major difference not only domestically, but to your point, internationally,

752
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 11: as we're able to flex those power.

753
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if you listen to what Ryan just said,

754
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: you understand now how the Biden administration policy and the

755
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: mainstream media and the mainstream arguments about Russia ever since

756
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: that war started are not cohesive. How can you be

757
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: against Vladimir Putin? How can you depict him as this

758
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: as satan himself? And by the way, he's pretty darn

759
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 2: close no fan of Vladimir Putin, But how can you

760
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 2: say that as a president and at the same time

761
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: embolden him by stopping and really halting the whole project

762
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 2: of getting American natural gas over to our European allies.

763
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 2: And by the way, a lot of other countries want

764
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: to do it too, so it's not like we can

765
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: just wait forever.

766
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of other countries that have natural gas.

767
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: Also that would love to ship it to Poland and

768
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: love to ship it to Ukraine and France and Germany

769
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 2: and all those kinds of places.

770
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: And we better get going on this.

771
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: And I think you know, this is why it's so

772
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 2: important for the news media to do a better job

773
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 2: of hearing voices like yours and from states like Oklahoma,

774
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 2: because here's where you're going to get the full story.

775
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: If you just live in Manhattan.

776
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: You don't even know what natural gas is really and

777
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: this is a huge problem. I mean, do you feel

778
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: when they made that dual policy, that duplicitous policy of hey,

779
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: we hate Putin, but we're going to make sure he

780
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 2: remains in big business by not sending any competition.

781
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: Over to his energy business.

782
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: I mean, how did that feel for the folks in

783
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: Oklahoma when that happened.

784
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 11: It's just completely backwards. I mean, it lacks common sense

785
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 11: in logic because you're saying, listen, foreign policy, you're saying

786
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 11: one thing, but of the most powerful tools we have

787
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 11: is our domestic product, the giant economy of our country,

788
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 11: and so much of it is on our energy sector.

789
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 11: And you're not allowing us to produce. And then then

790
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 11: you're in you're wanting to fight with Vladimir Putin, and

791
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 11: it's like, okay, well, you know what, President Trump has

792
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 11: got it perfectly right. Let's show American strength and then

793
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 11: let's negotiate and operate in the world from a position

794
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 11: of a very powerful America that will not bow to

795
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 11: its to its enemies, will will be good to its friends.

796
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 11: But guess what we're here. We're powerful, We're not gonna

797
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 11: be pushed around by anybody. And again, you're gonna have

798
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 11: to deal with this on the world stage. We're not

799
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 11: going away. Our economy is getting stronger. That is a

800
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 11: much better position. And let's just weaken everything we do

801
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 11: and then go try to pick a fight with somebody

802
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 11: while we're not even going to use what we have

803
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 11: at our own disposal. I mean, that's that's just silly.

804
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 11: It's just wrong. It's just backward thinking. And we're sitting

805
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 11: here in Oklahoma going, let us do the work that

806
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 11: we want to do. Don't hold us back. Unleash this

807
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 11: giant that we've got here in oil natural gas.

808
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Democratic Party thinks that the most

809
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 2: important export we have from America are all the Marvel movies.

810
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: I can't keep track of them anymore. I promise you.

811
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: Natural gas is a better export, all right.

812
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 2: Finally, Ryan, your local news media there in Oklahoma is

813
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 2: coming at you, trying to portray you as being too

814
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: ultra maga as a way to distinguish yourself from your

815
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 2: fellow Republicans who may be vying for the state's governor job.

816
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: You know that that's up for reelection. You're incumbon governor

817
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 2: is term limited. How do you think about that depiction.

818
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: Do you think it's fair or is this one of

819
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: those cases where they're trying to come at you, but

820
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 2: they actually do you a favor.

821
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 11: Totally do me a favor. I mean, I love that

822
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 11: the mainstream media never learns. I mean, that is the

823
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 11: beauty of it, right, So mocking maga conservatives, that's worked

824
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 11: out really well for them. How it keep it up?

825
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: Media?

826
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 11: Mock me for being aligned with President Trump's vision, Mock

827
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 11: me for being aligned to America first, Mock me for

828
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 11: being unapologetic in our beliefs that America can be a

829
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 11: great country again if we get back to our conservative values.

830
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 11: Mock me for being the most alone with President Trump

831
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 11: in our state that I'm more than happy. I really

832
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 11: appreciate it from them, And again, I do appreciate the

833
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 11: fact that they never learn this does not work. It

834
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 11: caused President Trump is one of the reasons President Trump

835
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 11: had that one of the biggest landslide elections in modern history.

836
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 11: Every county Oklahma voted for President Trump. Remember he's one

837
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 11: of every county in Oklahoma for the third straight time.

838
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 11: And then our media wants to mock me for aligning

839
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 11: with President Trump. I mean, I'm honored and proud to

840
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 11: be aligned with President Trump. And again I hope they

841
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 11: keep it up.

842
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, what do you think is the biggest

843
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: issue though? Coming out? Obviously it's not just supporting President Trump.

844
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: What do you think is the.

845
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: Biggest issue that's going to really determine this election? I

846
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: know it's a little bit ahead of the head of

847
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 2: our skis we got more than a year before we're

848
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 2: even close to it, But I just want to I

849
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: want to think about what to expect, what will what

850
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: will this election hinge on?

851
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 11: Look, I think a lot of it is going to

852
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 11: be illegal immigration in the economy. Look, what are you

853
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 11: doing to get illegal immigration under control? What are you

854
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 11: doing to make sure that all of our public resources

855
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 11: aren't going to illegal immigrants, They're going to American citizens?

856
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 11: And number two, how are you growing your economy? I mean,

857
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 11: we should be eliminating the income tax. We should be

858
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 11: eliminating these taxes that are continuing to hold down American

859
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 11: families and prevent businesses from wanting to move into states.

860
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 11: So you know that's something that you're going to see

861
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 11: here in Oklahoma, is you're going to see leaders that

862
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 11: emerge and say, listen, we absolutely want to do away

863
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 11: with this. We want to be very business friendly because

864
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 11: we know that means more jobs for Oklahomans, number one.

865
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 11: But we know that means better jobs for Oklahomans. We

866
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 11: know that that means that the families here are able

867
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 11: to support themselves. We know that means that their God

868
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 11: given talents are utilizing a job great education system. We're

869
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 11: on the right track there and so so much of

870
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 11: that though, is going to hinge on economic on the economy,

871
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 11: and also again the immigration policy. It's got to get

872
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 11: under control. We know that illegal immigrants, we're spending over

873
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 11: four hundred and seventy million dollars on them just in

874
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 11: an education system that's not touching all the other indicators

875
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 11: in our states. So again, that problem's got to get

876
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 11: under control, and we've got to get a better incentive

877
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 11: for businesses to move in.

878
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: All right, thank you.

879
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 2: Ryan Wilters is going to come back, and next time

880
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: we will ask him much more important questions like will

881
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: the Oklahoma City Thunder win the NBA Championship.

882
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: And Kenny get us tickets?

883
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 2: But Ryan Walter, thanks so much for joining us and

884

Speaker 11: Thank you, have a good one.

886
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, we will take you live to Seapack.

00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 2: than me is going to do the big show live today.

889
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: David and I will have a freeze. Welcome back to

890
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition.

891
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: I have been I've been strongly advised by the control

892
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 2: room that I should not complain about how I don't

893
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 2: get to go to Seapack.

894
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding.

895
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: It's wonderful that we have a great residence there. We

896
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 2: have David Brody there and they're gonna do the whole show,

897
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: and Ta Bates is there, and doctor Gina is there,

898
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: and I'm doing the roper room thing. I see Brady,

899
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 2: I see Parker. I say it now, I can't say that.

900
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 2: But anyway, David, you know what, let's just say, let's

901
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,959
Speaker 2: without any further ado, tell me how's the food?

902
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: No, just kidding? What? How what do you got.

903
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: Going on not only for the show, but for the

904
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 2: for the entire seat pack extravaganza.

905
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 5: Well, clearly a couple of things.

906
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 8: I'm here for the food.

907
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 12: Number one, the per diem as well. So let's just

908
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 12: get that out of the way. Right at the top.

909
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm good to see you, Jake.

910
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 12: By the way, Uh, look, there's a lot going on here.

911
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 12: I mean, obviously, thousands of folks. This is a MAGA

912
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 12: takeover in a good way. By the way, they've got

913
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 12: the First Principal's Summit. You know, the Adam Kinzinger crowd.

914
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 12: There's somewhere down the street. When I say down the street,

915
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 12: somewhere in Washington. But they're doing their kind of counter

916
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 12: programming to see pack and I don't know, maybe they

917
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 12: have a crime seminar or something like that with Ken.

918
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on there.

919
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 12: All I know is why they call it the First Principle,

920
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 12: So what it really should be the last Principles, or

921
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 12: at least the old time principles, because this is a

922
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 12: new movement. Seapack has changed a lot throughout the years,

923
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 12: and definitely Donald Trump has been the catalyst to all

924
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 12: of that. So looking forward to that, a lot of

925
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 12: big speakers here. Obviously President Trump will be here, jd

926
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 12: Vance Byron Donalds, who could run for governor of Florida.

927
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 8: So there's gonna be a lot.

928
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 12: Of interesting storylines here throughout.

929
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 8: Jack.

930
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 2: You know, there's a great story about President Reagan after

931
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: he was shot and he recovered and he came back

932
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: to the White House and they were preparing for his

933
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 2: first big speech and he was talking and he asked

934
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 2: the speech writers, what do you got?

935
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: What do you got for me?

936
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 2: And they told him, Oh, come on, mister President, it'll

937
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 2: be like preaching to the choir.

938
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: You recover from the shooting, you could say anything.

939
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,479
Speaker 2: And he got very serious for a second and he said, yes,

940
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 2: but the choir needs music. What's the music that what's

941
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 2: on that choir sheet that you're hearing right now.

942
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: Well that's a great point, you know.

943
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 12: You mentioned music, and it makes me think of Donald

944
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 12: Trump today rather than Ronald Reagan in the past. And

945
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 12: the music today is the weave, right, I mean, this

946
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 12: is what Donald Trump does.

947
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest.

948
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 12: When Donald Trump is on prompter, want won't that's all right?

949
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 12: But when he's off prompter, that's the music. And why

950
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 12: is that the music? Because it goes to common sense,

951
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 12: it goes to authenticity, it goes to hey, we're gonna

952
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 12: fly a little bit by the seat of our pants

953
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 12: a little bit, and Ultimately, it's all about we the people,

954
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 12: and I think that is what is driving folks here.

955
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 12: They love the revolution of common sense. That is that

956
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 12: I keep going back to that, Jake. I know a

957
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 12: lot of people will talk about the Golden Age of

958
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 12: America and all of that all true, But the revolution

959
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 12: of common sense, I truly believe, is the tie that

960
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 12: binds and why this Republican Party today is much different

961
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 12: than in the past. And that's why it goes across

962
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 12: ideological lives because people are just looking at going, yeah,

963
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 12: you know what, there are just two genders. There's not

964
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 12: ninety two genders. And oh, by the way, on the

965
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 12: ninety two genders, that's on a Tuesday. On Wednesday, there

966
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 12: could be one hundred and two, and then on Thursday,

967
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 12: honestly there could be forty three.

968
00:44:58,360 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 8: We don't know. And that's the whole.

969
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 12: There's subjective truth and objective truth, and of course we

970
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 12: know objective truth rules today.

971
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah you know.

972
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you talked about how there are still

973
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: some very very few in the two or three percent

974
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 2: range of Republican holdouts for the Trump movement, and I

975
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 2: understand that. I mean, look, you're never going to get

976
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, and if you do, you should be worried.

977
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: That means there's something in the water.

978
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 2: But so we know that there are people who are

979
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 2: coming to Seatpack, probably this time for the first time,

980
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 2: people who are not even that very much engaged in politics,

981
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 2: but certainly not an establishment Republican party politics or conservatism.

982
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 2: But are there some former Democrats? By that, I mean

983
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 2: really recently former Democrat types who are there, maybe like

984
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 2: an RFK type contingent.

985
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: Are you seeing any of that?

986
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 12: Yeah, as a matter of fact, there's been some RFK

987
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 12: staffers that worked on the twenty twenty four campaign and

988
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 12: or order to hear at Seapack. But we're going to

989
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,959
Speaker 12: see that throughout. So I don't think there's any question

990
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 12: about that. And I think what's really important here is

991
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 12: as we go down this road here at Seapack, let's

992
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 12: be honest if we can for a quick second.

993
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 8: I know we've got limited time, but there are some.

994
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 12: Folks that have tended Seapac for years and are a

995
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 12: little bit more untraditional when it comes to the foreign

996
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 12: policy aspect. Donald Trump of throwing that out a.

997
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: Little bit as it relates to the playbooks.

998
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 12: So they're going to have to adjust, and they have

999
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 12: adjusted because they understand that Donald Trump is cutting through

1000
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 12: the clutter. Ukraine's a great example not just where the

1001
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 12: money's going, but specifically about Hey, it's not just cut

1002
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 12: and dry that Rush is the bad guy. And by

1003
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 12: the way, we're not saying Rush is the good guy,

1004
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 12: but it's a little bit more complicated than that, and

1005
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 12: that conversation really hasn't happened as much in Republican circles

1006
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 12: in yesteryear.

1007
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 8: Jay.

1008
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, anyway, you're a very big and important man there,

1009
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: and by the way, very big of you to invite.

1010
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: Everyone to see you.

1011
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 8: That's what I forget.

1012
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: The after party is at David's house. I'll give out

1013
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: the address that they're just kidding, right.

1014
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: This has been American Sunrise early addition, State tuned for

1015
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,360
