1
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise early edition.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: President Trump arrives in Saudi Arabia to start his Middle

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: East trip that will mix defense and economic policy and

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: could produce some major changes in agreements. We already got

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: some major news from the region while President Trump was

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: in the air. American Israeli hostage edon Alexander finally was

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: freed and had this amazing reunion with his mother after

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: five hundred and eighty four days in brutal Hamas captivity.

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: It's not just deportations. The Trump administration is also now

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: looking into the debit cards and other benefits given by

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: Los Angeles County to illegal aliens. This could be the

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: start of a national probe. The Republicans in Washington are

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: hoping to do something similar when it comes to Medicaid.

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: They want citizenship verification and maybe even some copay requirements

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: to keep the program solvent. But it's just a proposal

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: for now, and it's still not a done deal. But

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 2: President Trump says it would be stupid not to accept

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: Cutter's offer of a seven forty seven jet to turn

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: into Air Force one. But no matter what happens, Qatar's

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: massive influence network of funding has been exposed more than

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: ever before.

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition begins. Now.

23
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,880

25
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Stick your good deeds and bad deeds. That's how we're

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 1: gonna judge you.

27
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the stories

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: that matter.

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: He will be letting the public know regularly what we

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: have found.

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak starts now.

32
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: Welcome everyone, it is a Tuesday edition of American Sunrise

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: Early Edition. I'm Jake Novax. Thank you so much for

34
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: joining us. A lot of news again overnight. This administration

35
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 2: never sleeps, love it or hate it. We've already got

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: President Trump very busy on his trip to Saudi Arabia,

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: so I want to get right to it with independent

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: investigative journalist Walter Kurt. He's also the guy behind the

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: WC Dispatch on substack. You should sign up for that

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: and get his updates. They are fantastic. He does a

41
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: lot of real investigative journalism work. I'm going to talk

42
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: in a few minutes about how that art, that profession

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: has basically died, but Walter's a holdout and he's still

44
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: doing real investigative journalism.

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: So Walter, let's.

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: Start with the President, who's already in Saudi Arabia now,

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: and I think this is going to be an interesting trip.

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: Now, there's a lot of rumors, or at.

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: Least anticipation that we could see some kind of big deal,

50
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: maybe a wider peace agreement in the Middle East.

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: That would be lovely.

52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: But I also think, Walter, there's going to be some

53
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: business deals here for American businesses, maybe some relaxations of

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: tariffs or other protections against some American company, and then

55
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: maybe some announcements of big investments inside the US.

56
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: It's going to be.

57
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, Cutter, and the United Arab Emirates. What are

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: you most looking for out of this trip from President Trump?

59
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: Walter, Well, there's a number of Obviously, the investment deals

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: sound amazing. I mean, there's rumors that it's going to

61
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: scale up from I think from six hundred billion to

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 4: a trillion dollars in the next ten years from the Saudis.

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: But I think the bigger thing to pay attention to

64
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: would actually probably be from Opeki, right, I mean, I

65
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: think if they can actually agree on a lower production

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: rate that would really boost American oil business in Midwest,

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: in West Texas. So there's a number of things that

68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: we can really see out of this. A broader deal.

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I've I read about this yesterday. I think

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: that it's very possible that we see a much broader

71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: deal between you know, Saudi Qatar, Israel and just broader

72
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: the broader structure of Kuwait maybe and everything else. If

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: you if you see an expansion of the Abraham Accords

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: on this deal on this trip, that would be unbelievable.

75
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: I think that was Trump's signature thing that he did

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: in the Middle East last his last term. And if

77
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: he manages to expand that and isolate Iran even further

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: without having to do any more air strikes or any

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: more military action, that it's going to be incredible. But

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: you know it is you know, I think that him

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: going over there now the signals that he's got something

82
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: big in the works, because that's just his style. Whether

83
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 4: or not we actually see a full expansion of the

84
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: Abraham Accords or if it's something completely different, I don't know,

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: but I know that we will at least hear something

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: good about the amount of investment in the lowering of tariffs,

87
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: I do. I think I'm really going to look and

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: see if they make some sort of oil deal though,

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 4: because if we see a change in production and start

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: to ramp up production on our own country for our

91
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: own energy sector, I think that would be a good thing.

92
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's so funny how things have changed.

93
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: It used to be that we would begging the Saudis

94
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: to ramp up production and keep it going to keep

95
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: our gas prices down. But with hope our efforts here

96
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 2: in the United States under this administration to be friendly

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: to drilling and to racking and to things like that,

98
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: we would like to see the price get a little

99
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: bit higher overall, because it wouldn't affect our gasoline prices

100
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: at the pump so much. You know, right now we're

101
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: at sixty two or sixty one dollars a barrel. We

102
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: can go up to seventy and not really see much

103
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: of a change. We can go to eighty or ninety

104
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: and actually not even see that much of a change

105
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: at the gas pump.

106
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: For most of us here in the country.

107
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about California or Washington State or Connecticut,

108
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: where it's all you know where they jack up the

109
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: prices with taxes.

110
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that you mentioned that.

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: And I do think this out has had our best

112
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: interests at heart, or the world's best interest at heart,

113
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 2: when they've kept up the production high even after October seventh.

114
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: You know, on October sixth, twenty twenty three, US light

115
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: sweet Crued was at ninety dollars a barrel, so we're

116
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: way down.

117
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: When was the last time oil prices went down after

118
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: a war?

119
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of that war, of course, the biggest news

120
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: out of the Middle East over the last twenty four

121
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: hours is this incredible reunion video of eton Alexander with

122
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: his mom after five hundred and eighty four days in captivity.

123
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: This is video of him getting out of the Red

124
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: Cross car and that was an amazing moment. And you

125
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: saw at the beginning of the program his reunion with

126
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: his mom. You know, Walter doesn't look great. It looks

127
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: like he has cigarette burns on his arm. I think

128
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: we're gonna find out some really bad stuff about his

129
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: time in captivity. I'm glad he's back, but you know what,

130
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: I wish I had one hundred acres in somewhere in

131
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: the American Pacific Northwest to donate to him, because I'd

132
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: never like to see him in a confined space ever.

133
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: Again, what are your thoughts about that?

134
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: You know, the video of him running and seeing his

135
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 4: mother again was amazing, But it's just, you know, I'm

136
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: glad that he's he's He looks like he's alive, and

137
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 4: he looks like he's somewhat healthy. I mean, does look

138
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: like them. He may have been burned, and who knows

139
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: what they did to him in there, and I'm sure

140
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: he'll tell us, to be honest with you, but you know,

141
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: I'm just glad that he when he's come out now,

142
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 4: he doesn't look like he is, you know, unable to walk,

143
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: doesn't look like he is. Really it looks like he's

144
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: going to be okay, And I think that's that's the

145
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 4: best news from all this. Seeing his mother's face was amazing.

146
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: I think this is the best news we've seen in

147
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 4: a while. At least now all of them, well the

148
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 4: only remaining American was alive, is out now, and I

149
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: think that's good news. Everybody should be celebrating that. Of

150
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: course the left won't for some reason, but you know,

151
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: it's a great thing that he's come home, and I

152
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: love this video of his mother running in to see him.

153
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 4: I can't imagine, you know, it's been I don't even

154
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 4: how long has it been, five hundred something days? I mean,

155
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: that's unbelievable to me. Yeah, you know, I'm sure I'll

156
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 4: hear the.

157
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: Left some credit. Yeah, the organized left.

158
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, but this video is so powerful, Walter,

159
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: I even I know some people on the left who

160
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: are very happy about it. Let's hope that that maybe

161
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: there is some humanity left. Let's talk about something else

162
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: for a second. We'll get back to the Middle East

163
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: in just a moment, but I want to talk about

164
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: what President Trump did just before he got on that

165
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: plane to Saudi Arabia, and that was the executive order

166
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: to work on our prescription drug prices here in the

167
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 2: United States. As I discussed yesterday, this is about making

168
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: sure that if a drug company that's based here in

169
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: the US is charging some basically another wealthy country, let's

170
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: say an EU country, a much lower price for a drug,

171
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: they have to try to make that same price over here.

172
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: Know what I want to talk about here is this

173
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: is something that the Democrats have been promising for a

174
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: long time. They've been bashing the drug companies for years.

175
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: This was not that hard to do. This was President

176
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: Trump signing his name on an executive order. Why Joe

177
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: Biden couldn't do it, Why Bernie Sanders was unable to

178
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: get something through the Senate, And it reminds me of

179
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: how RFK Junior last year, really, almost exactly a year ago,

180
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: accused top Democrats, including Bernie Sanders, of being in the

181
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: pocket of big pharma, and the so called fact checkers said, oh, no, no,

182
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: that's not true. Bernie Sanders has not received donations from

183
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: pharma companies. He's just received them from the CEOs and

184
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: the top executives as personal donations. I mean, that's what passes.

185
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: That's what passes for fact checking in America. I mean

186
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: why that wasn't laughable to anyone who saw it, I

187
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: don't know. But they literally said it was false to

188
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: say that Bernie Sanders took money from big Pharma because

189
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: he only took it from the CEOs and the top execs,

190
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: not from their official pack I mean, this is ridiculous,

191
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 2: and I think that this is a moment where everyone

192
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: can just see it's not that hard to do this,

193
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: and how some people in political parties string issues along,

194
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: don't solve them because they like to have something they

195
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 2: can yell about. They could have done this with abortion too,

196
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: by the way, the Democrats, all the times they had

197
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: a super majority in Congress, they never codified it into

198
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: American law. And the same thing with this pharmaceutical thing.

199
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: And President Trump looked, you know, he just doesn't care

200
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: about that kind of stuff. He's just gonna do it,

201
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: isn't he.

202
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 4: Well, you know, RFK said it best, actually, and it

203
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: was at his when his announcement on this came out.

204
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: He said, you know, we actually have with President Trump,

205
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 4: a man of his word. And I think everybody, no

206
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 4: matter what you think about Trump, you cannot argue anymore.

207
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: There's not an argument to be had anymore by anybody

208
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: that has any serious, you know, any serious insight into

209
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 4: anything that Trump does not try by at least attempt

210
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 4: to keep exactly what he says he's going to do,

211
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: I mean. And that's it looks to me like this

212
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: is just another example of that. Trump said he was

213
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 4: going to do it on the campaign trail. He said

214
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 4: he was going to work with r ff CAN to

215
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: figure out what they needed to do, and then he

216
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: did it, and I think you know this this move,

217
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: I don't understand why it was not done many many

218
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: years ago. Obviously there's there's all sorts of competing interests

219
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 4: from the big farmer companies. But I think you mentioned

220
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: it before that the pharmaceutical companies didn't even really take

221
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 4: that much of a hit in the stock market because

222
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: they'll just balance the prices out that it'll actually be

223
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: a much more free and fair system for us. So

224
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 4: the fact that we were paying these prices in the

225
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 4: first place just shows that they didn't even All it

226
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: took was somebody to just tell them not to do it.

227
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: It's just incredible that it's there's not been much pushback

228
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 4: from them. I mean, my theory was that we were

229
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 4: going to see one of the district court judges immediately

230
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 4: block it, and I was taking bets on which judge

231
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 4: it was going to be. But you know, they've appointed

232
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: themselves president. But I think even this would be pretty

233
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 4: hard for them to defend. So maybe we won't see that.

234
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 4: I don't know, But overall, I just it becomes pretty

235
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: clear that Trump is going to try and keep his

236
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: word on pretty much everything that he says, and I

237
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: think that just needs to stop shocking people. And you know,

238
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: no matter what they say, I think he really does

239
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 4: try and keep his word.

240
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, the drug stocks didn't take a

241
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: hit at all.

242
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 5: They were up.

243
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: They were up pretty nicely yesterday, so everything was up,

244
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: but they started out down and then when they saw

245
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: the details of this.

246
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: They actually had a nice rally too.

247
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: Well.

248
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: So I only have a better minute left.

249
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: But it seems like everyone is still talking about this

250
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 2: Katari offer to give a seven forty seven to eight

251
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: jet to the United States. We all know the story

252
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: to be converted into air Force one. You know, I'm

253
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: not going crazy about this because Qatar floods so much

254
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: money into the United States. This is actually nothing. I know,

255
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: some people have valued this gift at four hundred million dollars.

256
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: This is an older seven forty seven. Ain't no way

257
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: it's worth set four hundred million dollars. But that's another discussion.

258
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: But I'm wary of it. I don't like it, but

259
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna you know, I'm not gonna tear the

260
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: walls down about it.

261
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: But you feel that there's a potential positive here, don't you.

262
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 4: Well, you know it's the deal with this is that

263
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: it doesn't seem to me that it's that bad of

264
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: a deal. I think that what's really going on is

265
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: that Qatar is really really trying to figure out a

266
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 4: way to help, you know, to try and be part

267
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: of a business agreement between all of these different countries.

268
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: And if Katar wants to have a seat at the table,

269
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: I mean they're not They're not Saudi Arabia and they're

270
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: not Israel. They don't have a tech sector, they don't

271
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 4: have a they don't have the major oil output that

272
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia does.

273
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: So what exacut do they have to offer?

274
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 4: Well, if they can be great at diplomacy and be

275
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 4: the intermediate between everybody else, then this is just another

276
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 4: example of how they'd be able to do it, Like, well,

277
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 4: you know, look, we're willing to do work with you

278
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: in any way that we possibly can. I think Trump

279
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: has a lot more leverage over top of Guitar than

280
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: people realize. I think that's the real deal. Trump has

281
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 4: so much leverage over top of them that they're willing to,

282
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: you know, give them anything if they if it helps

283
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 4: their position even a little bit. Now, whether or not

284
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: this is actually that big of a deal, I don't

285
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 4: think it is one. The company that refurbished this plane

286
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 4: is a Florida company. It's a Boeing jet. People are

287
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: acting as if like, you know, oh my goodness, the

288
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: Kataris are planning to spy on Air Force one or something.

289
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 4: It's a bit of an absurd, you know, suggestion. I mean,

290
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: to be honest with you, I think what really is

291
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 4: going on here is that Trump is just furious at

292
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 4: Boeing because they still after six years, haven't been able

293
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: to produce the jet and they're now behind and over

294
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 4: budget and everything else. I mean, Boeing has got so

295
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 4: many problems with their DEI program that they acted last year.

296
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 4: I think they're finally just now catching up to the

297
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: point that they can even produce anything at all. So

298
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 4: whether or not this actually goes through or not, I

299
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: don't know. Based on the headlines, I would expect that

300
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 4: Trump might be might back out of the deal at

301
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 4: some point, but he probably wouldn't en announce that until

302
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 4: he gets back from Qatar.

303
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Right.

304
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: And remember, this story got blown up over the weekend

305
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: when there was so much other better news to cover,

306
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: the Chinese trade deal, the rug, the drug pricing EO

307
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: that was floated. That was a big reason why that

308
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: got extra attention in the news media because they thought

309
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: this made Trump look bad, and that's what they wanted

310
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: to make a big deal out of it. Walter Kurt,

311
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: thank you so much for joining us. Check out the

312
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: WC Dispatch on subsack. Everyone should read it. And I'll

313
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: see you again real soon.

314
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Jake, Thanks having me on all right.

315
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: Coming up, the Republicans are not looking to make the

316
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: big cuts to Medicaid the Democrats were trying to scare

317
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: us about, but they are looking to make some changes.

318
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: I'll have the details of that in just a moment.

319
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: And speaking of government aid, the Department of Homeland Security

320
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: wants to know just how much Los Angeles County is

321
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: forking over to illegal aliens and benefits and cash. It's illegal,

322
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: by the way, but they're doing it and LA isn't alone.

323
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: American Sunrise early edition will be right back.

324
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: That's a list shot of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Usually when we

325
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: show this intersection, it's a little bit busier. I guess

326
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: people are getting up to work a little bit later

327
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: than usual in Philly, but they don't have nothing.

328
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Else to do because they're hockey and and their basketball

329
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: teams aren't in the playoffs. Sorry, guys, Welcome back to

330
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition special.

331
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: Welcome to those of you watching on Getter and Rumble

332
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: and commenting.

333
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Again, this is not passive news program.

334
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: Hey, House Republicans have released their plan to alter Medicaid spending.

335
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: And I say alter because there were plans by some

336
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: Republicans to do some real cutting, but when they put

337
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: the plan on paper, they decided basically to scale down

338
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: those plans. So here's what they're really looking to do,

339
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: and I think this will be much more popular with

340
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: the American people. First of all, they want to include

341
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: some work requirements for people. If you're an able bodied

342
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: American and you can work, they want to have some

343
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: work requirements before you can get some of the Medicaid benefits,

344
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: just like if you were getting private health insurance at

345
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: your employer. And they also want to do frequent eligibility checks,

346
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: not just for people who may now be making too

347
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: much money to get Medicaid, but also to see to

348
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: make sure these are all legal American citizens or people

349
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: here legally or at least getting the green car process.

350
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: That's what they're trying to do. And they want to

351
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: lower the share the federal government contributes. They don't want

352
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: to lower I'm sorry, they do not want to lower

353
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: the share that the federal government contributes to each state.

354
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: That was going to be one of the things that

355
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: they were threatening to do.

356
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: People were the Democrats are making a big deal about

357
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: getting people afraid of doing so. That's the deal with

358
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: Medicaid right now. This is part of that big, beautiful

359
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: bill that President Trump once passed.

360
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: These are very very minor changes.

361
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: If the Democrats hold it up over this, it'll be

362
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: scare tax tactics. You know that right from the start. Right,

363
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: let's talk about the fact that we have benefit issues

364
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: when it comes to government benefits going to people who

365
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: shouldn't get them. I'm not just talking about some Medicaid recipients.

366
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: The Department of Homeland Security has launched a federal investigation

367
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: into California's long criticized cash assistance program for immigrants. It's

368
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: called CAPPY or CAPI CAPI. The probe zero's in on

369
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: allegations that undocumented immigrants are you kidding, are getting federal benefits,

370
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: namely Supplemental Security in SSI, to which they are not

371
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: legally entitled now, folks, just to make this very clear,

372
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: if you are going through the immigration process legally in

373
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: this country, legally, green cars, et cetera, you are eligible.

374
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: And I know some people have a big problem with this,

375
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: but that is legal for those people to get on

376
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 2: some federal benefits, a lot of them, actually, But if

377
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: you're an illegal alien, you're not supposed to get debit

378
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: cards and other kinds of benefits that are literally carved

379
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: out for American citizens. If LA County is the only

380
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: county that's doing this, I'll eat my hat.

381
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: Okay.

382
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: We all know this is going on all over the country.

383
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: So these other countries, these other cities and counties better

384
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: be worried if this continues. Hopefully they'll be more than

385
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: worried and they'll just stop doing this. We cannot be

386
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: giving money that's meant for our citizens, that you and

387
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 2: I pay into in our taxes to illegal aliens. We

388
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: cannot do that, not from those programs. We want to

389
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: do something else, humanitarian wise, we can talk about it,

390
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: but not this.

391
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: Okay.

392
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: Tax Day may have passed, speaking of taxes, but for

393
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: millions of Americans, the real trouble is just beginning. If

394
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: you miss the April fifteenth deadline or still owe back taxes.

395
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: The IRS is ramping up enforcement. Every day you wait

396
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: only makes things worse. With over five as a new

397
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: tax liians filed daily and tools like property seizures, bank levies,

398
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: and wage garnishments, the IRS is applying pressure at levels

399
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: we haven't seen in years. Increased administrative scrutiny means collections

400
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: are moving fast. The good news there's still time for

00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: just made a nice announcement about local production. I'll have

415
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: that story just ahead American Sunrise early edition continues. I

416
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: believe that's the roof cam of our studio building in

417
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: West Palm Beach.

418
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: A little bit of a gray day, they tell me.

419
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 2: It was pouring all day yesterday in West Palm and

420
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: a lot of Florida. We've had a beautiful day here

421
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: in New York, and I think we got another one

422
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: on tap. Let's see if we're gonna have a beautiful

423
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: day on the market. Let's see where we're gonna open

424
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: right now for the stock market, and it's gonna be

425
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 2: down now. Yesterday, Look, folks, yesterday the Dow was up

426
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: almost twelve hundred points, bigger gains percentage wise for the

427
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: S and B five hundred and the Nasdaq. That was

428
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: one of the biggest rallies I've ever seen. And it

429
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 2: was very broad based. Almost everyone really was a winner.

430
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: Even the pharmaceutical companies were a winner. But you know,

431
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: we might have a little bit of giveback. Actually, folks,

432
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: I wouldn't make any bets this morning until eight thirty,

433
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 2: because that's when we're going to get the inflation report,

434
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: the April inflation report. It's expected to be no gain

435
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: in inflation for April. Basically no and a two point

436
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: four percent annual rate. So I think a lot of

437
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: investors are just waiting for that. If we get a

438
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 2: cooler inflation report, if inflation is lower, I think you

439
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: could see another big rally. So just just wait to

440
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: see that. Look at gold, We're back at We're up

441
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 2: again today.

442
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: Again. Look at that.

443
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: I still can't get used to a three handle thirty

444
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars per ounce. I know it got to

445
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: thirty five hundred a couple of weeks ago, but wow.

446
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 2: And now let's take a look at bitcoin, because it's

447
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: holding its gains a little bit better than the market,

448
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 2: in fact a lot better. It gets up almost two

449
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: percent at one hundred and three thousand, So Bitcoin doing

450
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 2: very very well. And again I think that's because people

451
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: are making more money with the stock market. They've got

452
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 2: more money to spread it around, and Bitcoin now has

453
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: become more in line with where the Dow is going,

454
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: which is kind of interesting. All right, How big was

455
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: this massive stock rally yesterday? This is what I was

456
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 2: talking about just a moment ago. It was really broad based.

457
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: Let's talk about how some of the many big winners,

458
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna give you three big winners from three

459
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: very different industries. First, let's take a look at Nike.

460
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Nike was up seven percent yesterday. Why again.

461
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: Nike, by the way, almost all their shoes right now

462
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: being made in Vietnam. So Nike was up seven percent.

463
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 2: Ford again, Ford and Nike couldn't be more different. I

464
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: don't think in the way that they in what they sell.

465
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: And Ford was up three percent. Ford is a very

466
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: very low price stock when you think about it. I'm

467
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: not talking about low price when you consider how much

468
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: it earns, but it's only trading at ten or eleven

469
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: dollars a share. It was up three percent. A three

470
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: percent move for Ford is a big deal. And now Apple, Apple,

471
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: again very different from Ford and Nike. Apple shares were

472
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: up six percent yesterday. These are big moves for stocks

473
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: that don't usually move that in such a crazy way

474
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 2: on any given day.

475
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: So you got Nike, Ford, and Apple.

476
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: They were all such big winners yesterday, and it's interesting

477
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: to see this. This just goes to show they don't

478
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: they're not gonna do this. They don't think that the

479
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: tariff news and the trade news isn't real. They might

480
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: be wrong, but they're not. They're not making a bet

481
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: on something. They're not putting their money in something to

482
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: lie to us. People don't do that with money, not

483
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: even very rich people. All right, So what about all

484
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: that money from the tariffs, President Trump says America has

485
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: been pocketing. This is an amazing, amazing number. This is

486
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: an eye popping number. The United States collected seven point

487
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: six billion dollars.

488
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: More in customs duties.

489
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: That's, you know, the money they get from tariffs and

490
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 2: other things like that in April, and it did in March,

491
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: so there was a massive jump.

492
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: Now, there was also a record set.

493
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: The amount of customs duties that we took in in

494
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: the month of April because of the tariffs was a record,

495
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: an all time record of sixteen point eight billion dollars, sorry,

496
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: sixteen point three billion dollars. I'll take that half a billion.

497
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: Sixteen point three billion dollars. That's an all time record.

498
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 2: And it did go to cutting the deficit for the year. Again,

499
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: who knows how long these tarifts are going to last,

500
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 2: but this was a major, major revenue of booster for

501
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: the federal government. Now, for those of you watching this

502
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: who are economically savvy, it's like, wait a minute, we

503
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 2: didn't get that money. We Americans are paying for it

504
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 2: because we're going to pay higher prices for things that

505
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 2: may or may not be true. Remember, not everything that

506
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 2: was tariffed had a price increase. A lot of companies

507
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: from overseas took a hit for they're willing to take

508
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 2: a hit for a month, two months, or three months.

509
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: So for this first month of the tariffs, this could

510
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: be a complete net gain and a complete net.

511
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: Cutting of our deficits. And think of it that way.

512
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of government revenue, the big Beautiful bill President Trump

513
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: has once passed by the end of this month has

514
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 2: some fiscal hawks worried. They're worried that there's too many

515
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: is not enough tax hikes in it, and even some

516
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: Republicans reportedly want to see a tax hit on the rich. Well,

517
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: Florida Senator Rick Scott came on the Charlie Kirk Show

518
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: to throw some big cold water on that.

519
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 6: Listen, there's a lot of mixed opinions here. Some people say, hey,

520
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 6: George W. Bush raised taxes, he was ridiculed for that.

521
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 6: There's some nuance there that's largely missing. Do you think

522
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 6: that we might end up seeing the top tax rateco

523
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 6: from thirty seven percent to forty percent. No.

524
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 7: First off, I've never ever voted for a tax increase.

525
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 7: I've cut taxes one hundred times while I was governor.

526
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 7: We need lower taxes and we'll get more revenues. Now

527
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 7: Here's we don't have a tax We don't have a

528
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 7: revenue problem. We have record revenues. Revenues are up. We

529
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 7: have a spending problem. Fifty three percent increase in spending

530
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 7: in five years when the population is up two percent.

531
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 7: So we don't need we don't need new taxes. We

532
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 7: need to figure out how do we balance a budget.

533
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 8: Now.

534
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 7: I think maybe some people, like somebody texted me this morning.

535
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 7: They said, you know, I would be okay if you

536
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 7: raise my taxes if you balance a budget. Okay, Well,

537
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 7: they're not even talking about bounced a budget. They're talking

538
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 7: about reducing spending. We need to balance the budget, all right,

539
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 7: and start paying down debt.

540
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: That's what I did was governor.

541
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 7: I paid off a throw of the state that when

542
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 7: I was governed, and guess what, interest rates kept coming

543
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 7: down inflation.

544
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: We didn't have issues with inflation. That's what we've got

545
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: to do.

546
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 7: So no new taxing prerief is not rejuice spending that's

547
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 7: what we have to do.

548
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: And again.

549
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: Senator Scott was on the Charliekirk Show. You can catch

550
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,520

Speaker 2: but if these trade deals keep coming, you know, maybe

565
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 2: we'll want to keep them going. This has already encouraged

566
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 2: more auto production in the US. The latest company to

567
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: do so Mercedes. Mercedes executives now say they will add

568
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 2: production of its GLC SUV for North America at its

569
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 2: plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Earlier this month, the German automaker

570
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: said it would bring a new vehicle to the Alabama plant.

571
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 2: Didn't say which one, now we know it's the GLLC

572
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: SUV line. They say they want to deepen their commitment

573
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: to the US.

574
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 1: So here it is.

575
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: There's still no dollar figure on how much they're investing

576
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: to do this, but you know this is only right

577
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: terrorts are no tariffs. The suv market for Mercedes is

578
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 2: almost all in America. It is a huge American part

579
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 2: of their their market. They should have been making these

580
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: things here in the first place, just to make things

581
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 2: more convenient, frankly for the American for the American public

582
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: and their and their customers.

583
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: So here we go.

584
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: This is yet another good result from the whole Taro stuff.

585
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 2: And you know this is going to be something I

586
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: think they're going to continue to do, bea this makes

587
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 2: sense taris or no tariffs. All right, I want to

588
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: show you a picture of this suv here. It's all

589
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: from the air. These are aerial shots. Now, usually I

590
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't show you aerial shots of a car you can't

591
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: even really completely make out. But this is the Toyota

592
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: RAB four, folks. And again the RAB four may have

593
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 2: again we're not going to know this for sure for

594
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: a while, it may have been the number one selling

595
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: vehicle in America last year, eclipsing the Ford F one fifty.

596
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: Either way, it was darn close. So this is a

597
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: very very popular vehicle. Some of you watching probably have one.

598
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: If you don't have one, you'll be at a parking

599
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: lot surrounded by them today probably. Anyway, this is such

600
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: a popular vehicle, So this is These are the teaser

601
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: pictures that Toyota put out put out of their twenty

602
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 2: twenty six RAV four. They're teasing us with these aerial shots,

603
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: but we see it in settings like the snow, within

604
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: urban neighborhoods and on a mountain pass. You can only

605
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: do this with a very popular car. Otherwise you really

606
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: have to show the goods, you know what I'm saying.

607
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: But this just goes to show how popular this vehicle is.

608
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: And I can't get over it because it's something that

609
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: has really changed the tradition in America that F one

610
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: to fifty was number one for so long. Maybe it

611
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: still is, but raf War came darn closed at least

612
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: all right, And now this from Old School?

613
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Check it out.

614
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 6: Wow, that's really cloud Yeah, thanks took the restrictor played off.

615
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: Give the Red Dragon a little more juice. But uh,

616
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: let's keep that on the down low. So it's not

617
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: exactly street legal.

618
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 4: Hey, Mike Night, So what's up?

619
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: That was Hank the Tank. That was Hank the Tank

620
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: from the movie Old School? Oh my god, one of

621
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: the greatest characters in comedy movie history. Uh talking about

622
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: cars that are street legal.

623
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 8: Uh.

624
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: The reason why I'm bringing this up is because the

625
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: state of Colorado is about to make street legal what

626
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: are known as ki vehicles, mostly from Japan. Kaya short

627
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: for kaiju jidosha. It's a Japanese term that translates to

628
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: light vehicles. Some of you who have seen some of these.

629
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: Cars and even trucks, you can call.

630
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: Them the trucks. They look like toys. They look like

631
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: a wind up toy, and they have been banned in

632
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: a lot of states for a long time for obvious reasons.

633
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: They don't look like they can take the wear and

634
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: tear of the roads, let alone an accident. But this

635
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: new law comes with some stipulations. These vehicles cannot be

636
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: driven on roads with speed limits above fifty five miles

637
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: an hour.

638
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: Well that's a good idea. Most of them can't get

639
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: that fast.

640
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: They probably max out at fifty and on, especially on

641
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: high grade roads. But Colorado is going to make this legal.

642
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it. Also, one other stipulation.

643
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: This will not become legal until July of twenty twenty seven,

644
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: so we've got more than two years. But if you've

645
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: ever seen these vehicles, you'll know they're pretty funny. But

646
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: don't get into a car with hank to tank from

647
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: old school. That's my other bit of advice. All right,

648
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: and now for a hat tip that I like to

649
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: give for some good journalism. You've seen me on this

650
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: program call out some bad journalism in the past, just yesterday,

651
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: bad headlines, bad biases. I have to give a hat

652
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: hat tips to some good journalism because I like this

653
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: piece and this is something that I think a lot

654
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: of people are going to be discussing in America. It's

655
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: great op ed in motorwe dot Com by Anthony Alanis.

656
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: It's called quote the surveillance State will kill the car enthusiasts.

657
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: This is an editorial about all the things that are

658
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: in our cars and trucks right now, in SUVs that

659
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: are basically tattle tailing on us. They're tattletailing on us

660
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: to the government, to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration,

661
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: They're tattletailing on us to the insurance companies. They are

662
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: constantly nagging us about safety, telling us to slow down,

663
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: beeping all the time, getting into our face. There are

664
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 2: a lot of new cars that are doing this, and

665
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: a lot of car reviewers are saying it's.

666
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: Actually making the driving experience a pain in the neck. Now.

667
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: I'm not saying we have to go like Hank the

668
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: Tank and take the restrict plates off of cars and

669
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: go crazy with our cars on the streets.

670
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to see that either.

671
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: But this nagging and tattletale stuff that's in the tech

672
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: for new cars is absolutely turning a lot of people

673
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: off who might buy extra cars just for the leisure

674
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: aspect of it. You know, you see that sometimes in America,

675
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: someone has a car to go to work, someone has

676
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: a car to do their errands, and they might have

677
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: a sports car that they use on the weekends just

678
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 2: for fun.

679
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: If they don't make cars like this anymore.

680
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: And if those fun cars turn out to be boring,

681
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: then you know we're not gonna want that, all right.

682
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: Coming up, President Trump's a first official state visit of

683
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: his second term has begun with his arrival in Saudi Arabia.

684
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: Will the trip produce big news, big deals, or just

685
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: big controversy? And this incident outside the Newark Ice Detention

686
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: Center is apparently not an isolated incident. Are the Democrats

687
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: really going to continue interfering with ice arrests on the streets.

688
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: We'll look more at this when American Sunrise Early edition

689
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: comes right back. It's Tuesday, May thirteenth, theor of some

690
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: of this morning's top stories. President Trump arrives in Saudi

691
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: Arabia to start his Middle East trip. It will mix defense,

692
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: economic policies, some politics. It also could produce some major changes.

693
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm hoping for a big peace deal, but that's just me.

694
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: We already got some major news from the region while

695
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: President Trump was in the air. American Israeli hostage Idon

696
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: Alexander finally freed. He had that amazing reunion with his

697
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: mother after five hundred and eighty four days in brutal

698
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: a Moss captivity. You know, it's not just deportations. The

699
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: Trump administration is also now looking into the debit cards

700
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: and other benefits given by Los Angeles County to illegal aliens.

701
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: This could be start of a national trend, and it's

702
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: still not a done deal.

703
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: But President Trump.

704
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: Says it would be stupid not to accept Cutter's offer

705
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: of a seven forty seven to eight jet and to

706
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: turn it into Air Force one. But no matter what happens,

707
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: Cutter's massive network of influence funding has been exposed more

708
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: than ever before. American Sunrise Early Edition continues. Now, Welcome

709
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak's special

710
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 2: Welcome to those of you on Getter and Rumble who

711
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: are not only watching on those platforms but commenting.

712
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate all the comments. Thank you so much. Let's

713
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: get right to it. Joining me now is Steve Abramawis.

714
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: He is the founder of the Heartlin Journal and the

715
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: Heartland Journal podcast. Steve, but let's take all of these

716
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: stories from today from the Heartland's point of view. I

717
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: want to give you some brand credibility here. Let's start

718
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 2: with what does the American Heartland have to gain? Maybe,

719
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: maybe from this Trump visit to the Middle East, because

720
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: I don't think Trump President Trump is doing this just

721
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: for the headlines. I think that there are some things

722
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: that people in the heartland of this country should be

723
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: watching very closely when it comes to this trip.

724
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

725
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 5: I mean, it's unquestionable that in his first term he

726
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 5: was very much a friend of Israel and helped quite

727
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 5: a bit with something amazing should have got the Peace

728
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 5: Prize for it, called the Abraham Accords, And there was

729
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 5: a lot of talk about Saudi Arabia joining that before

730
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 5: his second term that never happened, fell apart because it

731
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 5: didn't happen, And now here's an opportunity to pick that

732
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 5: back up together and maybe just maybe create a lot

733
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 5: of peace and prosperity in that neck of the woods.

734
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 5: And he's working with well though wealthiest emirates of the

735
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 5: neighborhood to try to get something we've never seen in

736
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 5: our lifetime, and that's a kinder, gentler, more more engaged

737
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,959
Speaker 5: in the world Middle East. Wouldn't that be great?

738
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 6: Yeah?

739
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: Not only that, but I mean it's people in the

740
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: heartland who send so many of our troops into the military,

741
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: so many of our soldiers and sailors and things like

742
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: that would be nice if there's not even a possibility

743
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 2: that they ever have to go into wars on foreign soil.

744
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: And I think if we get peace deals like the

745
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 2: Abraham Acquords, which by the way, you know I was

746
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: involved in a little bit of the post implementation, that's

747
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: a real peace deal. For those of you who think

748
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 2: it's just a piece of paper and the people aren't

749
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: really interacting, I can tell you very honestly that Emiratis

750
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: and Bahrainians and Israelis are interacting in more than just

751
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: kumbaya sessions, which would be nice too because Israel doesn't

752
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: have that with Egypt.

753
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: But they're also making business deals. It's really a real deal.

754
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 2: If we can get that with Saudi Arabia or one

755
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 2: or two other countries in the region, that would be wonderful.

756
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: Wonderful or America's young boys and young women in the military,

757
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: they would have one less thing to worry about. See,

758
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: let's talk about the heartland of America's long standing belief

759
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: that we leave no man behind. A lot of us

760
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: saw American Israeli aDNA Alexander reunite with his mom yesterday.

761
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: How do you think Americans they feel about that when

762
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 2: they see that. I don't think there's a dry eye

763
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: in the house, even among some of the lefties.

764
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 5: How about you, Well, I was going to say all

765
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 5: but the lefties, I'm thrilled. I think it's great. I

766
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 5: do believe that the heartland loves this. It was exactly

767
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 5: like bringing back Tennessee native from the International Space Station,

768
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 5: where we had to actually rely on Elon Musk to

769
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 5: do it because Boeing wouldn't. And so I'm not thrilled

770
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 5: to hear that Trump wants Katar to join the Abraham Accords. Cutter,

771
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 5: you know, they've sponsored Alcada affiliates in Siria, so our

772
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 5: young boys do have to fight enemies. But if there's

773
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 5: going to be peace in our time, then I think

774
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 5: it's actually fantastic. And as far as the Air Force,

775
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 5: one deal. Another slap at Boeing. If they can't make it,

776
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 5: somebody has to. And if guitar makes a good product,

777
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 5: let's take it, especially since it's free. It's a gift

778
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 5: to the United States of America, the Army, not Trump

779
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 5: himself personally.

780
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: So you know, I never like.

781
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 5: Doing business with terror outfits, but if it brings peace

782
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 5: and reconciliation to Israel after fifty years. I pray it

783
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 5: works out. Okay. And it is a luxury jumbo jet

784
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 5: that they say is going to be the new air

785
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 5: Force one that means Boeing has to get their act

786
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 5: together and do better business, hire better, make better product doors,

787
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 5: don't fly off in the middle of the sky. That

788
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 5: would be a good thing for the American manufacturing industry

789
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 5: going forward, a little competition.

790
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I understand that the cup holders on the

791
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 2: plane are enormous. I like those big I'm just kidding, Steve.

792
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: I know the American people in the Heartland and elsewhere,

793
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 2: you know, Okay, we've had some We had a couple

794
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 2: of questions about good things, peace on Earth, a returned hostage,

795
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 2: maybe a free airplane. Unfortunately, I gotta I gotta insert

796
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 2: some negativity right now, because I know that the folks

797
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 2: in the Heartland and elsewhere in America are not supporting

798
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: this trend. Now, there's another local politician in trouble for

799
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 2: interfering with an ice arrest of an illegal alien. Local

800
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 2: law enforcement getting involved. This was in Worcester, Mass a

801
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: councilwoman in Worcester, Mass And by the way, the local

802
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 2: police union is now suing her over this because you know,

803
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: she really put those officers in danger.

804
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: Now we have the video of that incident. Here, we

805
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: have this video of this incident in Worcester.

806
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: Stephen, this is this is the hill that the Democrats

807
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: are going to continue to die on. I mean, we

808
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 2: saw that thing in Newark just before the weekend. Now

809
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: we have a councilwoman in Worcester basically telling everyone, Hey,

810
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: let's get in between the cops and these people they're

811
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: trying to arrest, which is a very, very very dangerous

812
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: thing to do. I can't believe that this is going

813
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: to get them any net gain in votes anywhere in America.

814
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 2: Not in Berkeley and not in Davenport, Iowa. Those are

815
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: my That's what I think. I'm sure you feel the

816
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: same way, but maybe I'm wrong.

817
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 5: No, I mean, the Radical Party of AOC and Crockett

818
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 5: or walking off of a cliff, driving the car off

819
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 5: the cliff without tapping the brakes. And you know, as

820
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 5: an observer, it's really been something to watch. I mean,

821
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 5: Trump in his first hundred days had done so much.

822
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 5: I mean, just this weekend he announced a trade deal

823
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 5: with China. Broker in person meeting between Ukraine and Russia,

824
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 5: helped stop a potential war between India and Pakistan. Have

825
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: we forgotten already? You know, announced an end to big

826
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 5: pharma US profiteering, and he got the final American hostage

827
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 5: released by Hamas and Monday. Just yesterday, he got a

828
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 5: judge to allow sharing between Social Security with DHS and

829
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 5: DOGE even with Congress out of session. So basically what

830
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 5: he's done is he's completely freaked out the furthest left

831
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 5: bastion of the Democratic Party. And you know, he walked

832
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 5: the Party of JFK and Clinton from some of the

833
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 5: stupidest ideas ever to fund the police and chop off

834
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 5: healthy girl and boy parts with the you know, mobile

835
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 5: abortion clinics at their convention, to now willing to violently

836
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 5: defend and go to jail for attacking ICE agents to

837
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 5: keep gang bangers from being deported to Venezuela. It's really

838
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 5: something to see. And I think the midterms may just

839
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 5: be a blowout for Republicans. Historically, that's not how it goes.

840
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 5: The party in power loses seats. I think this is

841
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 5: going to do it for him, And no wonder they

842
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 5: taken eighty days off this year that's the same party

843
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 5: that voted zero on Lincoln the Lake and Riley Act, right,

844
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 5: so really insane. With HACKEM. Jeffrey's in charge in Jasmine Crockett,

845
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 5: they're allowdest spokesperson. And remember Senator Chris van Holland, he

846
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 5: traveled all the way to El Salvador to try to

847
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 5: free an MS thirteen wife beater and drink Margarita's with him.

848
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 5: I am sure the folks in Maryland love that a

849
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 5: very leftist state, but they can't love the Party of

850
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 5: MS thirteen and spousal abuse.

851
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

852
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's almost like they're taking so much bait

853
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: it's incredible to me. But this is what happens. I

854
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 2: think when you have a party and the Republic plkins.

855
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: I think we're guilty of this during much your President

856
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: Obama's term as well.

857
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: If you have a party that just identifies with being against.

858
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 2: A person anti Trump in this case, they're going to

859
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: make all these kinds of foolish decisions because all they

860
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 2: have to the only equation in their mind is if

861
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: Trump is doing it, we're going to be opposing it.

862
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: And even if it's.

863
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 2: Again violent criminal, illegal aliens, even if it's something like

864
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: forcing girls to undress in front of.

865
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: Boys in a high school locker room. That's that's the

866
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: logical end of this.

867
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 2: And it's again they've got to get something that they're for,

868
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: and actually I think specifically someone that they're for and

869
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: not really all about identity politics and personality politics. But

870
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: if they don't have a candidate to start rallying around

871
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 2: by the end of this year, I think they're in

872
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: serious trouble or they'll make more mistakes like this because

873
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: they're just anti Trump.

874
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 5: Now, well, I was gonna say, Eaden Alexander is a

875
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 5: perfect example, right, you know, a Jewish American who was

876
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 5: held hostage who's freed. They could have easily rallied around

877
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 5: that and said, this is amazing thing Trump. You're a

878
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 5: great liberator, you're a great negotiator, You're able to save

879
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 5: an American hostage.

880
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: But no, it's sad.

881
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 5: Actually the Republicans have to be happy and celebrating that

882
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 5: Trump freed another American hostage. But of course the Democrats

883
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 5: are silent on that anything good Trump does. They have

884
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 5: to take the exact opposite position. They don't have to,

885
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 5: but they do it instinctively, even if they look like idiots,

886
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 5: you know. I'm sure they will come out today saying

887
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 5: lower drug prices is somehow a bad thing since Trump

888
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 5: did it, even though Bernie has been railing against it

889
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 5: for years and years and years. Used to call that

890
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 5: triangulation when Clinton did it, taking the Republican talking points

891
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 5: and making them his own. But now Trump actually does

892
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 5: things and the Democrats don't know what to do since

893
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 5: they can't use it in a campaign at anymore if

894
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 5: he solves it once and for all.

895
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Steve, I'm running out of time. I wanted to

896
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: get to your Heartland Journal awards. Can you tell people

897
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 2: where they can find them so that they can read

898
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: about the people that you've awarded for being great Americans?

899
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 5: Yeah? Thanks, Heartland Journal dot com. We've got the podcast there,

900
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,719

Speaker 5: out for you on a daily basis, plus an e newsletter.

902
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,240

Speaker 5: well received and we're very proud of it.

907
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: Exciting. We'll talk more about that after the awards.

908
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us, Stevid Roemis, the

909
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: Heartland Journal, the Heartland Journal dot Com in the podcast,

910
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: thank you so much. Coming up, David Brody's going to

911
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: join me and we're going to talk about the pitfalls

912
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 2: of dealing with cutter guitar.

913
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to call it. We'll be right back.

914
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back to an American Sunrise early edition. If you're

915
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: looking at West Palm Beach, Florida, looks like the clouds

916
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: have cleared up a little. I understand it was raining

917
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: very heavily yesterday.

918
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: David Brody joins me right now, and David, I don't

919
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: want to talk too much about this at gift that

920
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 2: everyone's talking about so much every I think everyone knows

921
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: the details of it.

922
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm on record. I don't love it. I don't think

923
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: it's the worst thing in the world.

924
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: But what I do think is very very concerning, and

925
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that I'm wrong about this, is that cutter.

926
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: Qatar is a country that basically I know it produces oil,

927
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: but really, David, their number one product is funding. Sometimes

928
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: that funding is for something that's very benign, A lot

929
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: of the time it's for stuff that's not so good.

930
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: They helped terrorist organizations. That's been documented.

931
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 2: In fact, there's been a big study about this about

932
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 2: how Cutter has to make a choice between whether it's

933
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 2: going to be on the good side of the world

934
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 2: or the bad side of the world.

935
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: They fund a lot.

936
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: They basically act as a clearinghouse sometimes for Iranian money,

937
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 2: and that's very, very troubling. Here's my one hope. I

938
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 2: do think that there's a chance that if there's enough

939
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 2: pressure put on them, either by President Trump and or

940
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 2: other folks, that Cutter could possibly come to the realization

941
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: that trying to dance at everybody's wedding because that's what

942
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: they like to do. They want to be on the

943
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: good side sometimes, and they want to be on the

944
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 2: bad side sometimes. If they can be told that they

945
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 2: can't get away with that anymore, that everyone sees through this,

946
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: then maybe we can start dealing with them in a

947
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: more honest and open fashion. For now, though, I'm very,

948
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 2: very very cautious.

949
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 8: How about you, No, Jake, Look, let me do the disclaimer.

950
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 8: Let me do the disclaimer. I have said so many

951
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 8: positive things about Donald Trump. I you know, I love maga, maga,

952
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 8: through and through. This is ridiculous, Jake, This, this is insane.

953
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 8: What he's doing here is just plain wrong. It's just

954
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 8: as simple as that they fund the Muslim Brotherhood. They

955
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 8: used to, they fund Jumas still do, I mean, Jake,

956
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 8: I can just go down the list. I mean even

957
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 8: I mean, he's lost Laura Lumer on this, Jake, he's

958
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 8: lost Ben Shapiro.

959
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: Who cares about all of that?

960
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 8: The point is is that from a moral perspective, this

961
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 8: is wrong. From a financial person, I get it right,

962
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 8: Trump's it's an Excel spreadsheet for Trump.

963
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: Right, it's a great deal. Why would I turn down

964
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: a plane?

965
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 6: Like?

966
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 8: I get it in some sort of benign universe?

967
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: But how about morality here? How about some morality of like?

968
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 8: I mean, Trump in twenty seventeen came out and called

969
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 8: out Qatar cutter, call them whatever you want. All I

970
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 8: know is that they were funding radical Islamic terrorism. And

971
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 8: Trump's own words. Go back and watch the clip in

972
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 8: twenty seventeen. You know the deal, Jake, he called him out.

973
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 8: Why are we accepting a four hundred million dollars plane

974
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 8: from guys that are okay with radical Islamic terrorism, Jake, Jake, seriously.

975
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: Walk me back down from the ledge, explain it to me.

976
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 8: And and if someone's gonna explain the financial incentive and

977
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 8: this and Cutter and we're trying to work with them

978
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 8: and everything, Okay, Like I get the geopolitical stuff, right,

979
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 8: I get it, But at some point you have to

980
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 8: have a line in the sand. I mean, you know, Cutter,

981
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 8: you know they are not good, good guys, okay, in

982
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 8: this idea that and I understand it's alliances and they're

983
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 8: going to put two hundred to three hundred billion dollars

984
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 8: in US investments and Trump sees the Excel spreadsheet. I

985
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 8: got that, but I'm sorry this the morality aspect, the

986
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 8: Islamic the radical Islamic terrorism stuff, Trump's so to speak,

987
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 8: pun intended all of that. Jake, And someone convinced me

988
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 8: I'm wrong. Please convince me I'm wrong. Jake, convince me

989
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 8: I'm wrong. And Maggo doesn't want to talk about it.

990
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 8: Let's be no hang on to Maggo doesn't want to

991
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 8: talk about it because if it was Joe Biden getting

992
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 8: a plane from Qatar, we'd be all over that, Jake.

993
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 8: If Biden got a plane from China or any other

994
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 8: authoritarian regime, we'd be all over it.

995
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: He would be.

996
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: And by the way, let me preempt all the bots

997
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 2: and the other people saying, well, what about all the

998
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 2: money apack looks and folks, if you said there was

999
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: no more funding anymore from both sides, I take it.

1000
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: Cutter spends ten twenty one hundred million times more money

1001
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: in a high elections and other things like that than

1002
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 2: Israel or APAX. Don't start with me, Well, American sunrise

1003
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 2: is starting right now.
