1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: All right, coming up on the second hour of American Sunrise.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: The House has less than two weeks to pass a

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: budget bill or we will see a partial government shut down.

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: What will the budget deal have inside plus, just days

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: after President Trump won the election, Joe Biden reportedly gave

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: a run billions of dollars in sanctions relief. What could

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: go wrong? What could possibly go wrong? Finally, as we

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: get closer to the end of the year, we will

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: take a look at the highlights and the low lights

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: of the election. We have that story in war. As

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: the second hour of American Sunrise starts right now.

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Good morning, America.

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: Politics.

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: We've got your covered.

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: We have to protect the American family coming out.

21
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: The American dream is still alive.

22
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and.

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,000

Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody in the second hour of American Centrize.

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: in doctor g She's in West Palm Terrence Bates in

00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: our Denver newsroom. Good morning to both of you. Gina house.

28
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: The temperature in West Palm this morning is a cold

29
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: How are we doing that?

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: It is cold. It's like seventy five degrees. We are

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: in a cold snap that I have never seen it

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: around Christmas, Secretion. I mean, this is really at night.

33
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: It's getting down into the sixties. I mean, this is

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: a little bit unusual for this time of year in Florida.

35
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I've not seen it. It is a cold snap, Terrence.

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: But it's really nice because it feels a little like Christmas,

37
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, because you're not getting up and sweating every second.

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: Doctor Gina, place yourself in time out. Twenty eight degrees.

39
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: It's twenty eight degrees.

40
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I know, but I mean, at least,

41
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, like my son used to say he liked

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: to go to Ohio to sea his fiance's family during

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Christmas because it snows there. Like we don't get snow here.

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: So if you can get just a little bit of cool,

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: then we feel good about it.

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm coming to your house. The Bates clan is

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: coming to your house. Because it takes seventy five degrees

48
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: over twenty eight degrees any day, all day, and twice

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: on Sunday. As they say in the South. Hey, look, guys,

50
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: there's a lot to talk about this morning. It is

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: a new day, and there's a good chance that President

52
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: Trump will name more nominees to support his administration. Tuesday,

53
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: the President elect made a splash by selecting Ronald Johnson

54
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: to be the next US Ambassador to Mexico. Johnson, not

55
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: to be confused with Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, served

56
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: as ambassador at L Salvador during the Trump President Trump's

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: first administration. In a post on True Social but soon

58
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: to be forty seventh, President writes, ron will work closely

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 3: with our great Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio to

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: promote our nation security and prosperity through strong America First

61
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: foreign policies. Johnson served with the CIA for more than

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: twenty years and as an Army veteran, having served as

63
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: a Green Beret. The incoming president has also tapped Kimberly

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: Gilfoyle as his ambassador to Greece. President Trump describes Gilfoyle

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: saying Kimberly is perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense

67
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: cooperation to trade and economic innovation. The nominee as a

68
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: former California prosecutor, a TV news personality, and Trump fundraiser.

69
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: She's also engaged to Donald Trump Junior Mister Trump has

70
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: also selected private equity executive Tom Barrick as Ambassador to Turkey. Now.

71
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: This is a critical position given the current climate in

72
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: the Middle East and Turkey's potential influence on the region

73
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: and the greater Islamic world. After serving as a senior

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: advisor to the Trump campaign in twenty sixteen and the

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: chairman of the twenty seventeen inaugural Committee, Barrick may have

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: a tough road to confirmation due to legal issues related

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: to his business dealings in the Middle East. You may

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: remember he was acquitted a federal true charges back in

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two related to alleged lobbying of the Trump

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: campaign on behalf of the United Arab Emirates. The twenty

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: six year old accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian

82
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: Thompson is fighting extradition to New York in order to

83
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: face murder charges there. He's currently being held in Pennsylvania

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 3: in charges a possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery, and

85
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: providing false identification to police. The accused killer, whom you

86
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: see here in that orange jumpsuit, remains in jail this

87
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: morning without bond. Meantime, prosecutors in Manhattan have charged the

88
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: guy with murder and obtained an arrest warrant in hopes

89
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: of expediting the accused killer's extradition from Pennsylvania. New York

90
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: Governor Kathy Hulkle also says she'll sign a request for

91
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: a governor's warrant to quote ensure the suspect in the

92
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: murder of Brian Thompson is held accountable in New York.

93
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: Those are just a couple of the day's headlines. I'll

94
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: have more headlines coming your way in just a little bit.

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: But now let's get you back over to doctor Gena

96
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: and David.

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: Terence appreciate it. So the House continues working on this

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: spending bill that would avoid a partial government shut down,

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: both sides keeping each other guessing as to what will

100
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: be in the final package. House Republicans reportedly not interested

101
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: in giving extra money to non disaster relief programs. They

102
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: just want more money for FEMA to continue hurricane recovery

103
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: efforts in the southeast. They have until December twentieth to

104
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: make a deal. Where do things stand exactly? Well, let's

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: go right to the source, or at least one of

106
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: the sources in Congress. It's a Missouri Congressman Eric Worlson

107
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: who joins us. Now, Congressman, always good to see you

108
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: here on the show. Well, where does all of this stand?

109
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 2: Are you going to have to vote for another CR?

110
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: And I say have to because you know Trump's coming in.

111
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: So the whole deal is get it done and have

112
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: it finished and expire in what late March so Trump

113
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: can set his funding priorities.

114
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: Is that kind of the deal?

115
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: That's what I'm hearing. You know, this is this is

116
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: one example of how added our jobs Congress is. I mean,

117
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: this is once again we're at this this end of year.

118
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 4: We've already punted from the from the September thirtieth deadline

119
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: to now, and then then we're gonna We're basically gonna

120
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: do another CR until till March. I think it's pathetic.

121
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 4: I frankly think what we should do is let the

122
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 4: government shut down. And I say that because it's gonna

123
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: be December twentieth. The it's not gonna affect anyone's pay

124
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 4: For Congress to come back in January under a new Congress,

125
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 4: a Republican both Senate and House, and then we could

126
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: pass the budget that we think we need, that that's

127
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 4: appropriate for us. We could be working on that budget

128
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 4: right now. But sadly that is not the mentality or

129
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 4: the attitude of this current Congress. And so to me,

130
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: what the what this is is the final scream. This

131
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: is the final hit of a drug addict. It's addicted

132
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: to spending other people's money, so they're so going to

133
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: spend as much as they can.

134
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: So so.

135
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: You're saying you will vote against sorry, yeah, you'll vote

136
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: against the CR. Is that where you're leaning or that

137
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: what you're saying.

138
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've voted against all these crs, and

139
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: I'm going to vote against this one too, because it's

140
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: fiscally irresponsible and this is not the way that we're

141
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: supposed to fund the government. But this one in particular,

142
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: because we have a chance to wait, you know, even

143
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: go into a government shutdown. We can come back in January,

144
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: get sworn in, and we should be ready to pass

145
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 4: the appropriate the budget at that point in time under

146
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: a Republican Senate and a Republican House. Right now, we

147
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: get all the complaints about how this we can't do

148
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: this because the Senate, you know, Chuck Schumer is negotiating

149
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: against us. You know that we're against the barrel. But

150
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: we can change that. And if I were the Speaker,

151
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: I'd be using the threat of letting the government shut

152
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: down because it's because it's a pretty safe threat. He knows,

153
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: he should know that we're gonna come back in January

154
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: and we're gonna have the majority, and in twenty days

155
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: we'll have the president.

156
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: So Congressman, to that point, what kind of pressure can

157
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: you and some of your colleagues who are in the

158
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: same school of thought as you, saying let the government

159
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: shut down, let's not pass anymore. Crs? What kind of

160
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: pressure can you put on the Speaker to move that

161
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: idea forward, to stop kicking the can down the proverbial road.

162
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 4: You know, the Speaker has got a vote coming up

163
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 4: January third. We will all be watching and seeing how

164
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: he plays out this new CR. And look, if it's

165
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: gonna be a bloated CR and there's gonna be a

166
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 4: lot of waste. You're gonna see some members that are

167
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna challenge him because we're gonna be in a

168
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 4: such thin majority, he cannot afford to lose any votes.

169
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 4: So I think that if I were him and he

170
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 4: were gonna play it safe, he should be very cautious

171
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: and how much spending he's going to be doing in

172
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: this CR if he's going to actually do the CR.

173
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: If I now, if it were me and you wanted

174
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: to fight, then then I would I would basically tell

175
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer that we're shutting down the government until we.

176
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: Come back and fighting. If I could just follow up

177
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 3: very quickly. We're nine days out from the drop dead

178
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: date from the twentieth and there's still no text of

179
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: what this CR might be. That seems irresponsible. It seems like,

180
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: uh that you would want to give members as much

181
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 3: time as possible to look through whatever the plan is

182
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: going to be so that they can vote from a

183
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: from a position of information.

184
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 4: Here's it's that this is by design. This is what

185
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 4: they do. Every time they wait until the last possible minute.

186
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: They don't share what they're doing with the other members

187
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: of Congress. Look, we've got four people, four people that

188
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: are deciding where all the dollars are spent, and it's

189
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: by design. They like that, they like having all that

190
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 4: power and control consolidated to the four corners, and it's

191
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 4: something that has to change. And the Freedom Caucus we

192
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: have been fighting for this to force some level of

193
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: change so that we don't continue to do this, this

194
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: such this sham of a budgeting gimmick and process every year.

195
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: And we've we've got some structural things in place, but

196
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: I think we're moving them all in the right direction.

197
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: But again, it's it's another This year is another frustrating

198
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: failure of this Congress to have any fiscal responsibility whatsoever.

199
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: You know, Congressman, we're old friends. I read a great

200
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: quote that really you were just you were just absolutely

201
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: putting the pin in right now, and it said, Lord

202
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: forget it's actually a prayer, and it said, Lord, forgive

203
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: me for every time I've wanted a seat at a

204
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: table you would have flipped. Congress is definitely one of

205
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: those tables the Lord would flip, you know, like he

206
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: did in the Bible, because of all the frustrations that

207
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: you endure, and really makes it for those who serve

208
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a tour of duty. You've been

209
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: doing it a while now. I remember when my husband

210
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: and I were when he was a senior in the

211
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Senate and you were just coming in and watching your

212
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: career flourish has been amazing. But you really do speak

213
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: about Congress and the way that really you should for

214
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: its inaction on behalf of the American people. And that's

215
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: frustrating from the perspective of somebody who really would like

216
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: to do things like just be responsible for a budget.

217
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 4: Right yeah, Gina, I come from the state of Missouri,

218
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 4: where we balance the budget every year. Your husband and

219
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 4: I both fought hard to make sure that spinning was was,

220
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 4: you know, within the levels that were coming in, making

221
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: sure that we don't go into debt. But this town,

222
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: when you come from Missouri to this town, it's a

223
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: completely different experience. This town has no restraint and it

224
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 4: is I say this and I've said it today. This

225
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: town is a bunch of drug addicts who are looking

226
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 4: for their next fix, and their fix is spending other

227
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 4: people's money.

228
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: My guest, Congressman, is that Yet with a speech like that,

229
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: being so straightforward from the state of Missouri as you are,

230
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: probably you don't have a lot of friends in Congress,

231
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: but that's okay because you're not there to make friends.

232
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: That's part of what we appreciate so much about you

233
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: and your beautiful wife and family. Congressman Burlison, thank you

234
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: so much for representing us so steadfastly. And Merry Christmas,

235
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mary, Good Christmas?

236
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: Done?

237
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: All right? Coming up? Israel is now ramping up strikes

238
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: inside of Syria after the fall of dictator Bushar al Assad.

239
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: How will this all play out though? And also Troupe

240
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: promises to fire remote federal workers who won't go into

241
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: the office ever since COVID. In fact, can you get

242
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: that done? Well, we're going to discuss all of this.

243
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: Next American Sunrise begins again right after this
