1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,559 Speaker 1: Ahead an American Sunrise early edition. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 2: Firefighter crews made more progress overnight in Los Angeles, even 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 2: amid a second day of some of the strongest wind conditions. 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 2: But yet another massive blunder by the city's leaders has 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 2: also just been uncovered. 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: Hold everything. 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 2: Israel and Camas had agreed to a cease fire. Colamas 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: was supposed to begin releasing the hostages in the next 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 2: day or so, but now Israel says Camas has already 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: broken the deal. Maybe Joe Biden shouldn't have tried to 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: grab all the credit for himself, after all. On Capitol Hill, 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: Attorney General designate pat Pam Bondi pushed his back hard 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: on Democrats on the. 14 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee time after time. 15 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: It's a toughness that will serve her well when she 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: is likely confirmed by the full Senate. We're just four 17 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: days away from President Trump's inauguration following his very clear 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: and far reaching election victory, but a new poll shows 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: in Trench, DC politicos are not planning on following the 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: man the voters. 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: Chose to lead America. 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: But it's not like the elites in the political world 23 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: are getting along with each other nowadays. 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: In a new. 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: Interview, First Lady Jill Biden expresses disappointment with Nancy Pelosi, 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,919 Speaker 2: and we all know what that's all about. 27 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition starts now. 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom, 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 3: and the values that built this nation takes centers to. 30 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: Your good deeds and bad deeds. That's how we're gonna 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: judge you. 32 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 3: Join host Jake Novak because he breaks down the stories 33 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: that matter. 34 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: He will be letting the public know regularly what we 35 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: have found. 36 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak starts now. 37 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. 38 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: A big theme in the stories I just summarized, and 39 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: just about every story these days, involves some kind of 40 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: disconnect between our political leaders and what's supposed to be 41 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: their duty to the public. And that's why I'm very 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: excited to introduce Scott Rasmussa to all of you. He's 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 2: a veteran Polster writer and now the president of RMG 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: Research and founder of the Depolitan Institute. Scott just released 45 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: this survey and the study called the Resistance, which documents 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: the very different world the elite one percent of the 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: political class versus the ordinary Americans. How different that world is. 48 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: And Scott, right off the bat, you found that a 49 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: majority of the political class does not really plan to 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: follow the ideals of democracy over the next four years. 51 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Am I correct in that assessment? 52 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: Well, you are correct. You know, let's be clear on 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 4: some definitions. The elite one percent or a group that 54 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 4: we've been studying for a little while. These are people 55 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 4: who have a postgraduate degree, they make a lot of money, 56 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 4: and they live in these densely populated urban areas. And 57 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 4: to be clear, I'm not talking rapids Iowa, places like Manhattan. 58 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 4: People who influenced the narrative. We did a lot of 59 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 4: research on them over the last year, and their views 60 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 4: are a little different. In fact, they tend to think 61 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 4: that the rest of us have too much individual freedom. 62 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 4: They tend to think parents have too much control over 63 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 4: their kids' education. And in this past election, they voted 64 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: for Kamala Harris by a sixty four percent to thirty 65 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 4: four percent margin. So that's the elite one percent. We 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 4: also just finished a survey on federal government managers, people 67 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 4: who live in that area that many call a swamp, 68 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: and who are leaders in this of the bureaucracy. Now 69 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 4: they're more evenly divided. Just fifty two percent of them 70 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 4: voted for Kamala Harris, but they're not very excited about 71 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: working with a new administration. In fact, among those Harris 72 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 4: voting managers, eighty percent said they will spend the next 73 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 4: four years existing the new administration. One percent said they 74 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: would be at least a little bit supportive of the 75 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 4: rest will be neutral. And Jake, perhaps the scariest number 76 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: in the survey, we asked what would happen if the 77 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 4: president gave you a legal order that you thought was 78 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 4: bad policy? Among federal government managers of people who were 79 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 4: supposed to implement things, only seventeen percent said they would 80 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 4: follow the president's order. So they're just not respecting the 81 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 4: choice made by the American people. 82 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: That sounds like met online at the DMV anyway. 83 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: Now, this isn't all theoretical, you know, because you just 84 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: gave a hypothetical there. You posted this poll result on 85 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 2: x yesterday showing that sixty percent of federal government managers 86 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: disapprove of Attorney General Desity at Pam Bondi. She's probably 87 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: going to get confirmed. So let's just go ahead and 88 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: say she's going to be attorney general. And you note, however, 89 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: that that resistance to her it's probably a good thing 90 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: in the minds of Ordin voters. But Scott Bondi aside, 91 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: is the entire Trump presidency and the MAGA movement the 92 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 2: very embodiment of actual people and policies that really are 93 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,119 Speaker 2: the opposite of the elite political class. In other words, 94 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: is Trump and the Trump team really the opposite of 95 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: this elite class? 96 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: Or is there a bit of a mix and match 97 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: going on here? 98 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 4: You think, Well, in politics, nothing is pure and clean cuts, 99 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 4: so there is a little bit of mixing and matching 100 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 4: going on. But broadly speaking, the movement that brought Donald 101 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: Trump into the White House for a second time is 102 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 4: a rejection of the status quo. It is a rejection 103 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: of the deep state. And that's where these battle lines 104 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: are going to be fought. You know, I could spend 105 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 4: a lot of time talking of tracing the roots of 106 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 4: the progressive movement back to Woodrow Wilson's article in eighteen 107 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 4: eighty seven calling for an administrative state, and it's a 108 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 4: movement that says the American people are the problem, not 109 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 4: the solution. Wilson dreamed of a place where we would 110 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 4: send people to special schools, you know, places like Harvard 111 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 4: and some of those IV plush schools, and then we 112 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 4: would put them in charge of the government and insulate 113 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: them from the voters. That's the resilt, that's what the 114 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 4: voters are rebelling against. And it's going to be an 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 4: ongoing theme. 116 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the world gets revenge on Woodrow Wilson, didn't 117 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: it when it didn't set its World War One plans? 118 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: Scott the groundwork for so much of your study in 119 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: the Resistance. 120 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: That study you came out was laid out in a 121 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: book you wrote more than ten years ago. 122 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: And one of the many things I remember from The. 123 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: People's Money was how often you described America's political classes 124 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: as a group acting like they were King George the 125 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: Third in seventeen seventy five, not only expecting mindless loyalty 126 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: and obedience, but also almost being insanely outraged for any 127 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: calls for accountability. Now, I'm not trying to score points 128 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: off of a tragedy, but I'm seeing the phenomenon when 129 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: we talk about a one party set in a one 130 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: party city like California and Los Angeles, respectively, And I think. 131 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: We see the results of that with these fires. Am 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: I off base here? 133 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: You know, certainly the fires are a natural tragedy that 134 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 4: has been made worse by horrible political priorities. It's a 135 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 4: lack of accountability is a major part of it. So 136 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that you're off base, but I think 137 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: the roots of the problem are so systemic that that's 138 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 4: where the difficulty lies. It's not just a question of well, gee, 139 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: people in California could vote for somebody else. That's a 140 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 4: very difficult thing to do because they're not likely to 141 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 4: have much of a choice in money of these elections. 142 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: We have a group of people who fundamentally, going back 143 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 4: to Woodrow Wilson, Wilson said, the biggest problem with the 144 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 4: American people is they've never gotten over the Declaration of Independence. 145 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 4: I actually believe all that stuff, And you know, that's 146 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 4: where this fight is. We have an elite one percent. 147 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 4: We have a group managers who really think they know 148 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 4: better than the rest of us. During the Tea Party era, 149 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 4: I spoke at Harvard and one of the professors there 150 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 4: after my talk was really frustrated, and she said, why 151 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 4: won't the American people just let us lead it's what 152 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: we were trained to do. And you know that's a 153 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 4: terribly arrogant statement. And on top of that, I mean, 154 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 4: my answer was, well, they don't like where you want 155 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 4: to lead. But the whole idea of American democracy is freedom, 156 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 4: equality and self governance, that we are all part of 157 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: the process of governing our society. We don't want to 158 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 4: delegate that simply to leaders, and right now we're having 159 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 4: that struggle. Jake, I wouldn't say one thing that's really 160 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 4: significant about this. The work that we're doing right now 161 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 4: and the research we put out on the resistance. We 162 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 4: didn't have a survey like this eight years ago when 163 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 4: Donald Trump first took office. But my anecdotal reading of 164 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 4: the situation is a years ago, a lot of Republicans 165 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 4: in the federal government were also opposed to the president. 166 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 4: So in effect, it was like those debates we would 167 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 4: say a three on one matchup. You had Republicans and 168 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 4: Democrats in the government bureaucracy fighting the new president. This 169 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 4: time around, Republicans in the federal government do seem to 170 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 4: be aligned with the new president, and so there will 171 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 4: be a tussle within the executive branch, but it won't 172 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 4: be one sided. 173 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: Scott, I want to throw in a new element into this. 174 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: It feels like we saw a lot of examples of 175 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: elites clashing with non elites during these last few days 176 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: of the Confirmation hearings. Were there any moments in the 177 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: Bondi or Pete Hegseth hearings that stood out to you 178 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 2: in that very way, just showing that arrogance or that 179 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: misconception that the elites have. 180 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 4: You know, one of the things that we saw in 181 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 4: those hearings was the deep, deep partisan divide in the 182 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 4: political world. Everything is about which whether you're Team Read 183 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 4: or Team Blue, and for most voters that's simply not 184 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 4: the case. Yes, they have a preference, and yes there's 185 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 4: a lot of people who bleed red or bleed blue, 186 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 4: but most Americans just want to get competent people in 187 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 4: place and want to get somebody who can answer, you know, 188 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: a reasonable question in a reasonable way and move on. 189 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 4: And so the partisanship that we saw is much more 190 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: of an elite attribute than it is among the American people. 191 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, finally, Scott, I want to get to 192 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: another crucial aspect of this. I call this what I 193 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: think I call it the indemnification from accountability infrastructure in 194 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: this country. In other words, the elite set up all 195 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: of these unelected boards and committees to try to administer 196 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: vital services like the New York City subway, which I'm 197 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: showing on video right now. It's governed by the way, 198 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: not by an elected leader, but by a very not 199 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: well known eighteen member board that acts as a buffer 200 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: between the public and the elected leaders, governors and mayors. 201 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: Now that's just one example. I'm just doing that because 202 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: it's New York and people can see a picture of it. 203 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: But this kind of unaccountable governance wasn't what our founding 204 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: fathers had in mind, did they. 205 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 4: No, not at all. Uh. You know, these boards were 206 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: set up and given independent power. It's a little bit 207 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: of a buffer. It's one of the big things we're 208 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 4: going to say in the fight in the next several 209 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 4: years against the administrative state. People recognize that we do 210 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 4: need experts to make certain decisions, to be involved in 211 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 4: the decision making process. But that's different than delegating all 212 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 4: authority to them. You know, we certainly saw problems with 213 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 4: delegating authority to doctor Fauci during the pandemic era. What 214 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 4: people are looking for. Is much more like the situation 215 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 4: if you have a financial advisor or a doctor, you 216 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 4: need their expertise, you listen to them, but you make 217 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 4: the decisions. So there needs to be some level of 218 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 4: accountability within the government. That ultimately means in the federal level, 219 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 4: we want to make sure that Congress has the right 220 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: to approve or disapprove regulations established by by the bureaucracy. 221 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 4: All of these local governing boards should have some level 222 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 4: of accountability, and that's just been a lost feature in 223 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 4: our system of government over the last fifty or seventy 224 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 4: five years. Jake, there are five times as many regulators 225 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 4: in the government today as there were when I was 226 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 4: in high school. Now, that was a long time ago, 227 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: but not all that long ago. 228 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: Now, folks, you'd be very very hard pressed to find 229 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: someone who understands the government and understands more importantly the 230 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: people in the United States than Scott Rasmuss. And please 231 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: follow him on X read his books and it's RMG 232 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 2: research in the Depolitan Institute. These are more than just 233 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: poll numbers to read. These are studies, and they're not 234 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: that hard to get through. And even if they were 235 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: to be worth it. 236 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Scott Rasmuss, and thank you so much for joining us. 237 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. I know I'm skipping a day, 238 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: but that's what I do on this program. All right. 239 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: Coming up, Marco Rubio Senate confirmation hearing included a key 240 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: comment about China and it's economic power. You'll hear that 241 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: in just a few minutes. And trouble in Democrat Paradise. 242 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's farewell interview included a jab at the person 243 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 2: many believe was really behind Joe Biden's ouster from the 244 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 2: presidential race. American Sunrise Early Edition continues in just a moment. 245 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: New York Harver Live shot right now. It's very cold, 246 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: but not windy and not snowy, at least not this morning. 247 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 2: Got some very cold weather coming up, not so much 248 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: in New York, although it will be cold this weekend, 249 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: but middle of the country is going to be super cold, 250 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: and I'll talk about that a little bit later. 251 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm 252 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: Jake Novak. 253 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: Well, there was a deal between in Israel and Kamasa 254 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: that was supposed to result in hostages being freed, maybe 255 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: as early as maybe tonight, But we just learned in 256 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: the last couple of hours that Israel believes to Kamas. 257 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: Has already broken the agreement. 258 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 2: As of right now, the Israeli Parliament is not not 259 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: voting on ratifying the deal that was supposed to happen 260 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: the day. We will keep you posted on that very 261 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: fluid story. But even if that deal does happen, folks, 262 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: what will it look like exactly? Colonel Derrick Henry explains 263 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: on Special Report. 264 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 5: But I want to switch gears now and I want 265 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 5: to go to the war in Gaza sees fire agreement 266 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 5: between Israel and Hamas has been reached today. The agreement 267 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 5: will take place in three phases throughout a forty day period, 268 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 5: starting with the release of thirty three hostages in stages 269 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 5: and starting on the first day, which could be even 270 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 5: as soon as Sunday, three hostages will be released. On 271 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 5: day seven, four more hostages will be released, and then 272 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 5: every seven days three more hostages will be released, with 273 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 5: the last week the remaining fourteen being released, and then 274 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 5: an end to the war is expected in phase two. 275 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 5: But what we do not know, colonel, if the hostages 276 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 5: will be released, will they be alive or will it 277 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 5: be the bodies of the hostages. What is your reaction 278 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 5: to the agreement today. 279 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 6: Well, the reaction is that this deal came as a 280 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 6: result of tremendous pressure by the United States and the 281 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 6: Biden administration. That's point one. And point two is we're 282 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 6: going to see this first phase and we may get 283 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 6: some hostages out. Probably there are any more than twenty 284 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 6: to thirty that are still alive. So for the most 285 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 6: part of the ninety six to one hundred that are 286 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 6: still there, they're going to mostly mostly be in bodies 287 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 6: and that's very, very unfortunate because we've been dealing there 288 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 6: with a very evil regime. So that's point number one. 289 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 6: We'll probably get through the first phase of this. And 290 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 6: on the counter side, the Israelis are going to release 291 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 6: almost a thousand terrorists and criminals that are going to 292 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 6: reach joined the ranks of Hamas. So that's that's a 293 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 6: very big problem. 294 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: That said, I. 295 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 6: Think we'll get through the first phase, but the prospects 296 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 6: are not good for real peace. 297 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you can't have peace when Hamas is 298 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 5: controlling Gaza. 299 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 7: That's just a fact. 300 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 5: And I mean, Colonel So, I mean, here, we know 301 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 5: that it was President elect Trump who was behind all 302 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 5: of this. The only reason we have an agreement is. 303 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 7: Because of him. 304 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 5: He announced Central Social we have a deal for the 305 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 5: hostages in the Middle East, and he was the first 306 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 5: leader to make that announcement. And then he followed with 307 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 5: another post stating that this epics sees fire agreement could 308 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 5: have only happened as a result of our historic victory 309 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 5: in November. So we know that he was undeniably it 310 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 5: was due to Trump and winning in November his election. 311 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 5: But yeah, Biden even this afternoon came on and took 312 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 5: credit for it. But what does this tell you, colonel, 313 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 5: about Trump's influence even before he takes office. 314 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 6: Well, it's significant, and we see that across the board 315 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 6: in Europe and in Asia, and in South America Mexico 316 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 6: our neighbor to the south, and in Canada to the north. 317 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 6: They are recognizing the importance of the president's leadership, his vision. 318 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 6: And then when he says something, he means it okay. 319 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 6: And he is a very transactional president, and he's going 320 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 6: to make deals and he's going to get the best 321 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 6: daily can for the American worker and American national security. 322 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: Again, as I said, that deal is on hold right now. 323 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: But special report airs every Monday through Friday at four 324 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 2: pm Eastern Time here on Real America's Voice. 325 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: You knew this was coming. 326 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: It's an often astonishing farewell interview if you read it 327 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: with Washington Post First Lady, Joe Biden made a number 328 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 2: of dubious claims and boasts. It was mostly the usual 329 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: self serving stuff. But the part that's getting the most 330 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: attention is where Missus Biden sorry. 331 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: I'm not going to call you a doctor for an 332 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: edd sorry Jill. 333 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: Where Missus Biden discusses her disappointment with Nancy Pelosi. The 334 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 2: First Lady basically blames Pelosi for leading the effort to 335 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 2: oust Joe Biden from the presidential election. Of course, the 336 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 2: issue here that I have is how come I have 337 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: to wait for an interview with Joe Biden Biden where 338 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: she sort of insinuates something. I have asked this question 339 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 2: for almost all four years of the Joe Biden presidency. 340 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: Who is running the country. I can't believe that Nancy 341 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: Pelosi alone was the only person who made a big 342 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 2: decision like pushing Joe Biden off the ticket. 343 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: I want to know the names of everyone in that. 344 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: Cabal, even the folks in the Soviet Union had the 345 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 2: names of the people on the Pallapiro. How come we, 346 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: over the last four years don't know who really ran 347 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 2: the country. It's a very, very sad question, but we 348 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 2: have to ask it. All right now, this is supposed 349 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: to be a news program, folks. So it seems like 350 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: I shouldn't do a story about how Eagles fans are 351 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: nasty and vulgar because that's not news. But here, but 352 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: here is something, just a bit telling the man who 353 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: was caught using the most vulgar language for rating a 354 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 2: Packers fan a woman at the Eagles Packers' playoff game 355 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: last weekend in Philly turned out to be wait for it, 356 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 2: a top employee at an affirm that helps companies implement 357 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 2: d eye policies. You can't make this stuff up, or 358 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: maybe you can. The man in the video that everyone 359 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: watch has been fired from that job. The Eagles have 360 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: another home playoff game against the Rams this weekend. Perhaps 361 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: a Ram fan will be similarly abused by an Eagles 362 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: fan who works for Amnesty International or the Archdiocese. 363 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm ready for anything, all right. 364 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: Coming up on. 365 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: American Sunrise Early Edition, we got not one, but two 366 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: inflation reports this week that cheered Wall Street, but Main 367 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: Street not so much. 368 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,959 Speaker 1: I will explain. And there was a worker screw up 369 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: at Kia that has caused a big recall. 370 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 2: And when I say worker, I mean it in the singular, 371 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: like I'm saying it was really just one guy. I 372 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: mean I once got in trouble for messing up the 373 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: break room microwave. But this is incredible. American Sunrise will 374 00:19:46,840 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: be right back. That's a live look at times Spur. 375 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: It's still dark. 376 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: Gosh, I hate waking up when it's still dark, don't you. 377 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: And I guess we have a few more months into this. 378 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: It's awful. 379 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 8: All right. 380 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at where the markets will begin today, 381 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: and the markets are going to be kind of mixed. 382 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: The Dow was down, but the other indices are up. 383 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 2: Hey, we had a seven hundred point rally on the 384 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: Dow yesterday. They like this inflation, the news that they 385 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: got the last couple of days. So as I was saying, 386 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 2: Wall Street was cheered by yet another cooler inflation report. 387 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 1: They got two in a row. 388 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 2: They got one on Tuesday, they got one on Wednesday, 389 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 2: And again I say, Wall Street was cheered by it 390 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: because the number of the stock traders liked was something 391 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 2: called core inflation. 392 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: Way do you hear about this scam? 393 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: Core inflation is a number that strips out fuel and 394 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 2: food prices. Hey, if you know anyone in real life 395 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 2: who can confunction in America without food or gas, let 396 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 2: me know. They're probably not really humans. They're probably robots, 397 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 2: and you should stop dating them. But more importantly, this 398 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: is an economic stat Tom, This is the one that 399 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 2: I think you really should remember. American humans are spending 400 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 2: a bigger percentage of their incomes on food than ever 401 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 2: ever since I started measuring it. 402 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: Now, that's frightening. 403 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: And that number didn't get any better in December because 404 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: again this core inflation number, they stripped out food and inflation. 405 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: They didn't used to do that. 406 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: But in my lifetime I saw three presidents in a 407 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: row get defeated because of high inflation, Nixon, Ford, and Carter. Yes, 408 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: Nixon had Watergate, but believe me, if we didn't have inflation, 409 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: I think he would have survived it. 410 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: And so what did Washington do? They flooded. 411 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: They gave us another number, this core inflation number, that 412 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 2: isn't as volatile. 413 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: It's just a joke. 414 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: Food and fuel prices are crucial to the American way 415 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 2: of life. 416 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: You should never have a stat that strips that out. 417 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: It's really outrageous, all right. 418 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 2: The Biden administration is getting closer to taking a major 419 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: step in the smoking wars. The FDA is proposing limits 420 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: on the level of nicotine and cigarettes and some other 421 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: types of tobacco products. The argument is that doing so 422 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: will make them left addictive. It's the nicotine and the 423 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: cigarettes that you're hooked on if you're smoking. 424 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: Now here's the problem. The result of such a rule 425 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: is that people may now start smoking more cigarettes every 426 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: single day just to get the same nicotine fix. It's 427 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: like what. 428 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 2: President Trump talks about all the time about how they 429 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 2: slowed the flow of water in your toilets, and now 430 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 2: all you do is flush the toilet six times and 431 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: you end up wasting more water. This is the same 432 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 2: genius philosophy. But here's how you know this is not 433 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: a real threat to big tobacco. 434 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: Those of you. 435 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: Reading the story, maybe you have kids who think this 436 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 2: is a real punch in the mouth to the big 437 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: tobacco companies. 438 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: Uh, think again. 439 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 2: Because the stock prices for Altria British, American Tobacco and 440 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 2: some of the other big tobacco companies all only were 441 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 2: down very slightly yesterday. 442 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: They're not worried. 443 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 2: A lot of their analysts are probably saying the same 444 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: thing that I just said, that people will now buy 445 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 2: more packs of cigarettes if this ever goes into effect. Also, 446 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 2: by the way, black market cigarettes that will have higher 447 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 2: nicotine content will start to become more pervasive. You only 448 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: see that stuff right now in some of the worst 449 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 2: neighborhoods in America, on the streets of people who sell 450 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 2: one cigarette at a time, they call them Lucy's. You're going 451 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: to see more of that if this law has passed. 452 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 2: It is really a bad idea. Hopefully this won't happen. 453 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 2: If you want to stop smoking this country, which I 454 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 2: would really like to do, like to see a lot 455 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 2: of people stop their smoking, this ain't the way to 456 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 2: do it, all right. Another group not worried right now 457 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: are the big banks. Just in the last couple of days, 458 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 2: JP Morgan, Chase Goldman, Sachs City Group, even Wells Fargo. 459 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 2: I mean they're a problem child, but even Wells Fargo 460 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 2: they have reported big time profit and revenue gains. 461 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: The reason is simple higher interest rates. 462 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: Yes, the FED did cut rates twice towards the end 463 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four. I know you saw that in 464 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 2: the news, but they still were high enough for the 465 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: big banks that usually make bigger profits when rates are higher. 466 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 2: That's because they collect higher interest rates from customers and 467 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: businesses like you and me. 468 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: But they get still. 469 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 2: Borrow government money from the government and from each other 470 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 2: at a much lower rate. 471 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: It's great return on their investment. 472 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: These conditions are still expected to same place for the 473 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: foreseeable future. I don't expect the FED to cut rates 474 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 2: in the next few months or maybe even the next year. 475 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: So good luck for the big banks. Maybe you want 476 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: to buy some stock in them all right. 477 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: Most of Secretary of State Desident Marco Rubio Senate confirmation 478 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: testimony yesterday was about wars and diplomacy, but when he 479 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: addressed China, Rubio focused on some hard economic realities. This 480 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: is a very important warning that he had for America 481 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 2: and the rest of the world. 482 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 483 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 9: If we stay on the road we're on right now, 484 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 9: in less than ten years, virtually everything that matters to 485 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 9: us in life will depend on whether China will allow 486 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 9: us to have it or not. Everything from the blood 487 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 9: pressure medicine we take to what movies we get to watch, 488 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 9: and everything in between, we will depend on China for it. 489 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 9: They have come to dominate the critical mental industry supplies 490 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 9: throughout the world. 491 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 4: Everywhere in the world. 492 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 9: They've now established critical mineral rights. Even those who want 493 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 9: to see more electric cars, no matter where you make them, 494 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 9: those batteries are almost entirely dependent on the ability of 495 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 9: the Chinese and the willingness of the Chinese common this 496 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 9: party to produce it and export it to you. So 497 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 9: if we don't change course, we are going to live 498 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 9: in a world where much of what matters to us 499 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 9: on a daily basis, from our security to our health, 500 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 9: will be dependent on whether the Chinese allow us to 501 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 9: have it or not. That's an unacceptable outcome, of course, I'll. 502 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: Say with even Rubio Wooden, and that is that China 503 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 2: has been at war with the. 504 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 1: United States for years. 505 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: It's been mostly an economic war, but it's war all 506 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 2: the same.

Oh and 584 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: the deal may not happen anyway now because Camas has 585 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: allegedly already broken it. 586 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: What a mess. 587 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: On Capitol Hill, Attorney General desidate ham Bondi pushes back 588 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: hard on Democrats on the Judiciary Committee time after time. 589 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: That's a toughness that will serve her well when she 590 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 2: is likely confirmed. 591 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: By the full Senate. 592 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: And some of the coldest weather we've seen in years 593 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: is about to hit the key parts of the Midwest 594 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: this weekend.

This morning, the most dangerous of 602 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: the wildfires are still not mostly contained, and the biggest 603 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 2: threat may still be the local LA and state government. 604 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: Even the statust LA Times is getting into the game 605 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 2: of exposing massive failures in California's one party state. 606 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: And here's a big one. Here's the headline. LA fire 607 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: officials could have. 608 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: Put engines they mean fire engines and the palisades before 609 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 2: the fire broke out. 610 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: They didn't. Joining me now is. 611 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: Mary Walter, host of the Mary Walter radio podcast. And 612 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: I think there are three big stories here Mary. One, 613 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 2: the fires are still very much not under control. Two, 614 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: we keep learning of terrible mismanagement by California's one party regime. 615 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: And three, even the LA Times Mary is starting to 616 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 2: do its job. Good morning, Did I miss anything? 617 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 7: Good morning? Yes, she missed my coffee. 618 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 11: I have not had coffee yet, and I find that 619 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 11: to be just It's very poor hospitality. That's all I'm 620 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 11: going to say. You hit the nail on the head. 621 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 11: It's one party rule. This is the problem. It's groupthink. 622 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 11: And when you have group think like that, they all 623 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 11: sit in a meeting and they all say yes, oh, yes, yes, yes, yeses, 624 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 11: and there's no dissenting voice in the room. 625 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 7: So you wind up with things like this. 626 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 11: What bothers me the most about what's happening in California, Yes, 627 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 11: the mismanagement, the fact that they would not take care 628 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 11: of the four You have to maintain the forests. And 629 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,959 Speaker 11: Donald Trump was right again right when he told him 630 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 11: to do that, and they laughed at him. No, we 631 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 11: have to let it go natural. Well, this is what 632 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 11: happens because building where they've built is not natural. A 633 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 11: lot of California is a desert, and they're building in 634 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 11: a desert, so it's very dry, and then you have problems. 635 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 11: They say, oh, well it's climate change. You're like, no, 636 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 11: you built in a desert. So there's that. But what 637 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 11: bothers me the most is these fires are just popping 638 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 11: up like there's a fire and then all of a sudden, 639 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 11: there's another one that pops up thirty miles away. We 640 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 11: have to look at the human, the human aspect of this. 641 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 11: I firmly believe that there are people setting these fires intentionally. 642 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 11: Maybe the first one wasn't. Maybe initially, maybe a couple 643 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 11: of them weren't. But you I just find it hard 644 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 11: to believe that these wildfires are just popping up out 645 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 11: of thin air, you know, and spreading the way they 646 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 11: like wildfires. And we've seen people who have been caught 647 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 11: with a blow torch or people you know, restraining it. 648 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 11: There was another one where there was strained guy who 649 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 11: sit something on fire in a trash can and knocked 650 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 11: it over and the locals, you know, surrounded him and 651 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 11: got him. And it's not the guy who was who 652 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 11: had the blow torch that they let go. This is 653 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 11: another guy, homeless people doing it. I don't know what 654 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 11: about the what thirty thousand plus if not more, military 655 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 11: age Chinese national men who came across our border. What 656 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 11: a wonderful way to terrorize Americans, right, and it's effective 657 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 11: and it's costly. Domestic terrorism. Now, I don't know if 658 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 11: that's happening, but I think we really need to look 659 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 11: hard at how this just keeps happening and hasn't stopped. 660 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the arson part of this is certainly not 661 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 2: helping breaking story this morning, Mary, we thought Israeli Prime 662 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 2: Minister Benjamin Nisanya, who we thought we had a deal, 663 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 2: but Nasagna just said about it a couple of hours 664 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 2: ago that Hamas has already broken the deal and he's 665 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 2: putting the parliamentary vote on the agreement with Kamasta and 666 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 2: the war I should get specific eared and the Warren 667 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 2: start to release with osages. He's putting that vote on 668 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 2: hold for now because Amasa has already broken it. So 669 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 2: that only makes this scenario I'm about to show you, Mary, 670 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 2: even more embarrassing for Joe Biden. It's a very telling 671 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 2: and I think a disgusting moment where Joe Biden is 672 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 2: asked about whether President Trump and his team had a 673 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 2: key role in at least getting these negotiations moving. 674 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: Listen to this club's credit for this, mister President. 675 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 7: You or try. 676 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 12: Is that a Joe Oh, thank you, thank you? 677 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 2: Sure you know, Mary, that's the real Joe Biden. This 678 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 2: is a really pathetic moment. I'll play the sound Biden 679 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 2: in a second, proving Joe Biden is lying about that. 680 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: But you know, just let loose on this. 681 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 2: I mean, I think you know, you're already seeing this 682 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,959 Speaker 2: kid glove treatment of Joe Biden, this good old man 683 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 2: who got a little forgetful, but isn't he nice? 684 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the real Joe. 685 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 11: Biden, right, No, I think the real Joe Biden is 686 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 11: the guy you see when he's giving a speech or 687 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 11: he doesn't have all the Joe juice in him and 688 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 11: they haven't juiced him up enough. 689 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 7: The angry old man who comes out. I think that's 690 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 7: the real Joe Biden. 691 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 11: We know behind the scenes he gets angry, he screams, 692 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 11: he yells at people, he belittles people. If you talk 693 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 11: to people who have ever worked with him in Washington, DC, 694 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 11: they don't like him. He is not known for his 695 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 11: temperament and being kind. So that's a whole act, as 696 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 11: far as I'm concerned, and I think it's been an 697 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 11: act for a long part of his career. And so, no, 698 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 11: Joe's not a nice person. Joe's not a good person. 699 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 11: And I think that I think that legacy or that 700 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 11: idea of Joe as that person is going to start 701 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 11: to crumble and fall away, and we're going to start 702 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,479 Speaker 11: to see the history being rewritten about who Joe Biden 703 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 11: really is. 704 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: Yeah. 705 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 2: I don't know how much longer they can keep up 706 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 2: this rate. Okay, Mary, Now let's get to the truth. 707 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 2: Here's what the official spokesman at the State Department had 708 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 2: to say about what really got these negotiations going. I 709 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 2: know that the deal's on hold right now, but here's 710 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:05,479 Speaker 2: the truth. 711 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: Check it out. 712 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 13: When it comes to the involvement of President elect Trump's 713 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 13: team has been absolutely critical in getting this deal over 714 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 13: the line. And it's been critical because obviously, as I 715 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 13: stand here today, this administration's term in office will expire 716 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 13: in five days. And one of the things that we 717 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 13: have always said about this deal is that when you 718 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 13: get from stage one to stage two, that the United States, Egypt, 719 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 13: and Cutter are the guaranteurs of this deal, and Egypt 720 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 13: and Cutter will push Hamas to stay at the bargaining 721 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 13: table and to get from stage one to stage two, 722 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 13: and the United States will push Israel to stay at 723 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 13: the bargaining table to get from phase one and phase two. 724 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 13: So obviously those are promises we cannot make on behalf 725 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,919 Speaker 13: of the United States for any longer than the next 726 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 13: five days. 727 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: Mary, I say this like an ex community note. Official. 728 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 2: This was like an ex community note in real time 729 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 2: and in real life. But Mary, can you imagine if 730 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 2: President and Trump were fact checked in this way by 731 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 2: someone in his own inman, it would be the top 732 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 2: story on MSNBC and CNN, probably for days. 733 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 1: I think I'm right. 734 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 11: About that, Oh absolutely, And I apologize. My cat just 735 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 11: jumped in my lap and I can't get rid of him, 736 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 11: So I apologize for the tale that is going in 737 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 11: front of the camera. 738 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 1: Here, you like the female blowfeild with your cat. 739 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 7: Sorry, he came down to say good morning. Of course 740 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 7: it would be the top news. But here's the thing. 741 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 11: So yesterday on X, of course, where all of the 742 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 11: political pundits and the people who have their ex law degree, 743 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 11: et cetera go on to pontificate. You know, everybody's like, 744 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 11: oh Joe bid Joe Biden. And then of course the 745 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 11: Trump people are like, well, you know, look, one of 746 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 11: the IDF generals said that it was really because of 747 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 11: Donald Trump. So now they're going to blame each other, 748 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 11: going back and forth. The bottom line here is how 749 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 11: anyone thinks that they can trust Hamas is foolish. 750 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:52,439 Speaker 1: Right. 751 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 11: They've proven time again that they cannot be trusted, and 752 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 11: look at it October seventh, right, the ultimate in not 753 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 11: being able to trust Hamas. They broke that fire. How 754 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 11: many ceasefires has Hamas broken? So to think that they 755 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 11: can be trusted and they were getting the better end 756 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 11: of the deal in this, In this, Israel always gives. 757 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 11: In Israel is always the quote unquote bigger person. Israel 758 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 11: always takes the shorter end of the stick in order 759 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 11: to have peace. And we know Hamas is not interested 760 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,359 Speaker 11: in peace. So why we keep deluding ourselves with these 761 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 11: negotiations thinking that Amas is going to stand by It 762 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 11: is puzzling to me. And I don't know what the 763 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 11: answer is, but maybe the only answer is to just 764 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,919 Speaker 11: treat them the way they treat Israel and the rest 765 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 11: of the world and hand it right back to them. 766 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 11: And yes, they have their siccafhants here, and they're useful 767 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 11: idiots who are going to march through the streets with 768 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 11: their cafeas on and the go queers for Palestine. They're idiots, 769 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 11: they're morons. We should pay no attention to them whatsoever. 770 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 11: Of course, the mainstream media will because they hate Israel. 771 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 11: I don't know why, but they do. And I think 772 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 11: that we should not give a fig about what the 773 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 11: mainstream is or the world things, and I think we 774 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 11: should deal with Hamas and them. 775 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how this is going to go. 776 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, when the deal was announced, many of 777 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,720 Speaker 2: us who support Israel were very concerned about the concessions 778 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 2: Israel had to make. 779 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: But I kept telling everyone, just wait. Not only will 780 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: Hamas likely break this, but. 781 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 2: I have a feeling when the new Trump administration gets 782 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 2: into office and now just four days, Israel will be 783 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 2: given much more latitude to do something about it. 784 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: When Hamas even breaks a small amount of the deal. 785 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 2: So I didn't think I was going to be proved 786 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 2: right this fast, but that's what happened. 787 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: Finally, Mary, let's talk about another terrorist war. 788 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 2: Just kidding, we're talking about people like Jill Biden and 789 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi, and. 790 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, this is great. 791 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 2: I don't think the term cat fight really works for me. 792 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 2: Maybe dinosaur fight is better for the two of them. Okay, 793 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,240 Speaker 2: that was mean, but there I go. Jill is lashing 794 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 2: out a bit at Nancy in this Farewell interview with 795 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 2: The Washington Post. 796 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: She blames Pelosi for. 797 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 2: Pushing Joe Biden out of the presidential race this past summer. 798 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 2: You know what, Mary, I think this is pathetic. Are 799 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 2: we really supposed to believe that it was just one 800 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 2: person who took the lead in this effort? I mean, 801 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 2: wasn't it George Clooney who did this? Wait a minute, 802 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 2: is it someone who needs a walker or is it 803 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 2: George Clooney? 804 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure who's in charge of the country 805 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: right now. 806 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 11: Well, all I know is Real Housewives of New Jersey 807 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,919 Speaker 11: are just filming right now, so it's not on TV. 808 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 7: So this suffices for me. Okay, So this is good. 809 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 11: This is what makes politics interesting and I love it. 810 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 11: I am so here for it. This is fantastic. We 811 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 11: know doctor Jill doesn't like Kamala Harris. We know that 812 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 11: she doesn't like Kamala Harris at all because of Kamala 813 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 11: Harris painting her husband as a racist during the debates. 814 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 7: So you've got that going on. 815 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 11: We know that Michelle Obama doesn't like the Biden's because 816 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 11: she was friendly with Hunter. 817 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 7: Biden's ex wife. 818 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 11: I think the one who was married to bo Did 819 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 11: he marry that one? I don't know, but one of them, 820 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 11: Kathleen Buele, that's the one that she's friends with, and 821 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 11: they don't. She doesn't like the way the Bidens treated 822 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,320 Speaker 11: her when they got divorced, when Hunter and she got divorced. 823 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 11: So there's all of this drama. It's fantastic. But Chris 824 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 11: Coons was on did you see that. Chris Coons was 825 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 11: on CNN, either this morning or last night, and he 826 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 11: said the quiet part out loud, and he said maybe 827 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 11: because he was reacting to what Doctor Jill had to 828 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 11: say about Nancy Pelosi, how she was disappointed in her 829 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 11: and in her teacher voice. And so Chris Coons in 830 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,959 Speaker 11: response says, well, maybe if Nancy Pelosi had just gone 831 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 11: to them directly instead of trying to orchestrate Joe leaving 832 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 11: the office, I'm like, boom, there it is.

We'll be right back. You're now looking at Anchorage, Alaska, 860 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 2: where they are just not interested in hearing about you 861 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 2: complain about the cold here in the contiguous United States. 862 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: Get over it, folks, all right, David Brody joins me. 863 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: Now and David, I want. 864 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 2: You to look at this CNN headline for its story 865 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 2: on Joe Biden's farewell address last night. 866 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: Here, I'm gonna read it. 867 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 2: Biden's poignant farewell dwells on his fears for the country 868 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 2: he loves. Oh that's not journalism, folks, Okay, that is sugarcoating. 869 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,800 Speaker 2: And I was talking to you earlier this morning about 870 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 2: how probably the most famous farewell address in the modern 871 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,800 Speaker 2: era was President Eisenhower's farewell address, the one where he 872 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 2: warned us about the military industrial complex. Although Ukraine War, 873 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 2: he was right, But even the reports then and Ike 874 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 2: was really a popular president, didn't include things in the 875 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 2: headline trying to sugar him up and talk about how 876 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:38,240 Speaker 2: he loved the country. 877 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: And even when you read about it in history books, 878 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 1: they don't do that. 879 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 2: I mean, this reminds me, David, of the He's as 880 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 2: sharp as attack headlines that we were getting from the 881 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 2: news media. I mean, this is the real threat to democracy, 882 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 2: a regime media that doesn't hold this guy accountable. And 883 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 2: that would be bad enough, but they boost him, they 884 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 2: make us. They go too far. 885 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 1: They have such arrogance, they think I'm gonna swallow this. Oh, 886 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: he's a poignant man. He loves the country. I mean, 887 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: give me a break, one hundred percent. 888 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 12: It's democracy in peril when you don't investigate what you 889 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 12: were charged to investigate, and they didn't do it. 890 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. 891 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 12: If we could put the headline up again, I don't 892 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 12: know if we can, but you know, I want to 893 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 12: do anatomy of a headline, or at least anatomy of 894 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 12: a story specifically. So there's the headline. So I said, okay, well, 895 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,439 Speaker 12: let's take a look, because clearly this is analysis, right, 896 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,400 Speaker 12: it's not reporting, I would think, and I looked, and 897 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 12: indeed I was correct. 898 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: If you look, if you. 899 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 12: Click on that link, Stephen Collinson is his name, and 900 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 12: it says analysis by Stephen Collinson. So I said to myself, well, good, 901 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 12: I'm glad they put it as analysis, not factual reporting. 902 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 12: And then I said, well, wait a minute, who is 903 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 12: Stephen Collison. Let's click on his bio and here's what 904 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 12: it says for Stephen Collinson under the Remember this is analysis. 905 00:44:55,640 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 12: Stephen Collison is a senior reporter for CNN Politics covering 906 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 12: the White House. Hold on for a second, so we 907 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 12: have a reporter covering the White House providing that type 908 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 12: of analysis. 909 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: Now, you've got to be kidding me. I mean, this is. 910 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 12: The problem in America written large, and I've talked about 911 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 12: this before. I've written out beds about this. 912 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: We are in the age of. 913 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 12: The correspondent, and we are seeing exactly that right there, 914 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 12: corresponded by day, pundit by night, and voters can't figure 915 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 12: it out. And when I say voters can't figure it out, 916 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 12: I'm not saying our audience can't figure it out. We 917 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 12: get it, but there's tons of folks that have no 918 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 12: clue what's going on. So they read that and they go, oh, 919 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 12: must be true. It's from a reporter covering the White House. 920 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 12: It's ridiculous, Jake, And it's just it just goes on 921 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 12: and on all the time. One last thing, so I decided, 922 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 12: you know what, let me do a little bit more 923 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 12: of a deep dive on Stephen Collison. By the way, 924 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 12: he's not even from America, he's from the UK whatever. 925 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 12: But beyond all is covering the White House. 926 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: But there's that. 927 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 12: But beyond all of that, I looked at some of 928 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 12: the other articles he did. Specifically, this is what he 929 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 12: wrote about when Donald Trump became uh won the election 930 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 12: in November. 931 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: This is his. 932 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 12: Writing as a reporter four years after leaving Washington as 933 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 12: a pariah. 934 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: That's what he said. 935 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 12: And he went on to say more stuff in that 936 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 12: article about authoritarium regime. And you know that the country, 937 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 12: as a matter of fact, even said this specifically, Trump 938 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 12: is gonna gonna have massive disruptive power here at home. 939 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 12: So anyhow, you get the point that it's just pathetic. 940 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And I think this is worse than 941 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 2: you know, just a rap it up real quick. I 942 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 2: think this is worse than when you have a country 943 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,399 Speaker 2: like the Civic Union, where they had an official news 944 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 2: media in. 945 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 1: The Pravda, because the people in the. 946 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 2: Civil Union didn't think, oh, I'll get away with it. 947 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 2: At Pravda says it because everyone knew it was bologny. 948 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 2: This is really, really the threat to democracy. People not 949 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 2: doing their job and people in political office thinking they 950 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,360 Speaker 2: can get away with it. I'm gonna get away with 951 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 2: the ending the show right now, David Brodie and the 952 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 2: rest are here coming up on American Sunrise see tomorrow
