1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Ahead on American Sunrise early edition. Apocalyptic scenes abound in

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: and around Los Angeles County, engulfed in flames coming from

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: many fronts. More than one thousand homes and other buildings

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: gone five or dead. This is already the most destructive

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: fire in Los Angeles history. Now, while the main focus

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: on stopping these fires now has to be in the forefront.

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Many experts are hoping this disaster will finally force California's

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: politicians to start doing their jobs. But will the one

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: party state ever hold its leaders accountable. Attorney General Merrick

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: Garland will also likely escape any accountability for his decision

11
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: to release Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's report on President Trump.

12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: In other words, series of accusations about supposed election interference

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: will be publicized without having it faced the scrutiny of

14
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: judge or jury.

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: Staying on the legal farm.

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: President Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to intervene

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: in his scheduled hush money conviction sentencing tomorrow, But will

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: the High Court want to get involved at this stage

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: of the game. And the Democrats who refuse to vote

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: for the Lake and Riley Acts are defending their decisions,

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: but they're all using the same tropes and pretzel logic

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: as they try to explain the inexplicable.

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: American Sunrise Early Edition starts right now.

24
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom,

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: and the values that built this nation takes centers.

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: To your good, thiefs and bad deeds. That's how we're

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 2: gonna judge you.

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: Join host Jake Nobak as he breaks down the stories

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: that matter.

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: He will be letting the public know regularly what we

31
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,279
Speaker 2: have found.

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Nobak starts.

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Wow, Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak.

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: I am grateful for your company. Today, the LA wildfires

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: have claimed at least five lives and destroyed more than

36
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: one thousand homes.

37
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: And other buildings.

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: Before we get to the political waves, this will cause,

39
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: or at least we hope they will cause, we have

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: to discuss the very volatile fight going on right now

41
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: to save America's second largest city. I can't put it

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: any more plainly than that. Joining us now to do

43
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: that and more is political analyst EDWARDO.

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 2: Nerett. He's also the host of the Neret Files on substack.

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Eduardo EDWARDO. This is an all hands on deck situation

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: right now. I'm sure you know people in Los Angeles

47
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: who are under threat. I think almost everyone does. Just

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: wanted to get you some of your initial thoughts about this,

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: just from a human standpoint.

50
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's absolutely devastating for those of you

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 4: back home who aren't following this story. Invite you to

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: take a look at some of the images, some of

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 4: the photos, whether they're on social media or local news,

54
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: because this is happening in our country. I mean, I

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: think a lot of times Americans are so privileged that

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: when we see devastation, it's usually halfway around the world,

57
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 4: and we are always the first to help. But in

58
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: this situation, this is happening right here at home, and

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 4: so we need to bring that same generosity, whether it's

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: through helping out with donations, charities, things of that nature,

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: whether it's the federal government stepping in and I know

62
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 4: they're already doing that. The images are just devastating. I

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: mean I saw an image late last night that literally

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: looked like a nuclear bomb had gone off in some

65
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: of these neighborhoods, and so we're praying for these people.

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: It's really hard to believe.

67
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: You know, I was watching videos of embers basically spark

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: it seemed in the air, and basically anything in the

69
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: air near those embers are catching fires. Someone who hasn't

70
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 4: lived in California, it's hard for me to fathom how

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: this can happen. And again, this is one of the

72
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: most devastating ones we've seen because the fire is going

73
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: through such a highly populated area that the population density

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: much greater than some of the fires we've seen in

75
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: the past. And so we're just hoping that they can

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: stop this and save as many homes as possible at this.

77
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Point, right, and of course everyone watching or talking about it,

78
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: let's make the priority, either whether it's donating money or

79
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: helping in any other way that we can. You made

80
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: a really good point about how this is happening in

81
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: our country. You know, the last time I remember something

82
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: like this happening in our country in such a big

83
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: way was sadly nine to eleven here in New York.

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: And I do remember, and I want to make this one.

85
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: I do remember a lot of rescue workers from foreign

86
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: countries coming to help. They were in New York City

87
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: for quite some time after that, So maybe we'll get

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: some of that kind of help again. But Eduardo, this

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: is shocking and not shocking at the same time. This

90
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: is not reactionary a comment here right now because I

91
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: and many others have openly criticized and warned California's governors

92
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: and LA's mayors for years that they're blatant mismanagement of

93
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: water resources, firefighting resources, and forest management was going to

94
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: cause a serious problem like this. And we know that

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: the mayor of La, Karen Bass, even went to Ghana,

96
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: even when she knew there was a serious war, learning

97
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: about these massively high winds that always brings some fires

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: with them, maybe not as bad as this, but she

99
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: still went on that trip. Eduardo, if this were not

100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: a one party state, could this have happened at this

101
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: level of intensity? Do you really think it could have?

102
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 5: Look?

103
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: I understand when people say, oh, we shouldn't politicize a tragedy,

104
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: but is it politicizing a tragedy when things could have

105
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 4: been done in advance to stop it? I mean, is

106
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: it politicizing a tragedy? Is it fair to point fingers

107
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 4: when entire neighborhoods have been burnt to the ground? And

108
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: I think it is because of the very things that

109
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: you mentioned. Look, this is not surprising. People knew this

110
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 4: was coming. Whether you talk about this specific fire or

111
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: whether you just want to talk more broadly about a

112
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: fire that was going to be in an urban area,

113
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 4: go look it up online.

114
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 2: If you don't believe me.

115
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 4: There were posts on social media by city officials. It

116
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 4: was in the local news a week ago that the

117
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 4: city was at fire risk.

118
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 2: And what does the mayor of Los Angeles do.

119
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: She goes to the inauguration in Ghana for the president

120
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: of Ghana. So once again we have an American official

121
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 4: who seems to care about the people around the world,

122
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 4: people in other countries, more than she cares about the

123
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: citizens she was purported or she was elected to represent.

124
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 4: And so I don't understand why this is so difficult

125
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: for politicians in our country. Why is it so difficult

126
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: for them to put our people and our cities first.

127
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: Then you want to talk about more broadly, I mean,

128
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: forget this specific fire people in Los Angeles. You said

129
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 4: you were one of the people warning about it yourself.

130
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: I mean I saw Adam Carolla many many others have

131
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 4: been warning for years that the big one is coming.

132
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: I mean Joe Rogan told a store on his podcast

133
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 4: a couple of months ago last year that his firefighter

134
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 4: friend had said, look, we've seen these fires come through before.

135
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: It's only a matter of time before one hits a

136
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 4: very densely populated area of Los Angeles, and there will

137
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: be little that they can do to stop it if

138
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: we don't prepare. So again, as someone who doesn't know

139
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 4: the area, as someone who doesn't know what goes into it,

140
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: I feel like I have a pretty unbiased.

141
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: View of what's going on here.

142
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: And what you have is a bunch of environmentalists who

143
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 4: have over the years have prevented government officials from clearing

144
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 4: the brush for silly environmental reasons, like you're going to

145
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: destroy the habitat of some animals if you don't clean

146
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 4: that brush, which now we are seeing is what part

147
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: of what helps the fires read so quickly. And then

148
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 4: the government, the state government has a problem with water.

149
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't understand they're surrounded by water. I

150
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: read yesterday that there's some three thousand lakes in California.

151
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: Northern California seems to do a pretty good job about

152
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: keeping water. And so this is a state that is

153
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: mismanaged from top to bottom. You need a permit to

154
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 4: do anything in that state. We all know about, for example,

155
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: the billions of dollars spent to build like no miles

156
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: of their high speed rail. And so similarly, the state

157
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: has allocated billions and billions of dollars to build a

158
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: brand new reservoir that is supposed to be the largest

159
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,119
Speaker 4: in the state.

160
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: That was several years ago.

161
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: So where are they with that when you're a state

162
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: that is susceptible to this kind of devastation. Why all

163
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: the permits, Why the permits to clear the brush, why

164
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 4: the permits to get started on this new reservoir. It's

165
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: mind boggling to me, and I don't understand it. And

166
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: when you look at the politics of the situation, all

167
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: of these people in Los Angeles and the Pacific Palisades,

168
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: these celebrities, they're responsible for this. I mean, they are

169
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: part of the corruption in that state that has allowed

170
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party to dominate. They have directly profit from

171
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party's dominance of that state. And so at

172
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: a certain point you got to say to yourself, what

173
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: else do you expect when you elect incompetent Democrat leadership?

174
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 4: This is what Democrat leadership gets you in California, uncontrolled fires,

175
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: environmental disasters, drug addicts on the street, crime through the roof.

176
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: I mean, at what point are they going to elect

177
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: somebody who is going to actually solve the problems that

178
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: are facing them every single day.

179
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can put this in one sentence. If you

180
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: have a one party government, whether in a city or

181
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: a state, your life will be in danger. If you

182
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: have a problem with the partisanship of saying dem right

183
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: versus left, I get it. Fine, Let's just say it

184
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: this way, because this isn't a partisan statement. If you

185
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: have a one party government, you will.

186
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: Die, will you will be in danger.

187
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: That's what happens, all right, Eduardo, We're just one day

188
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: away from the sentencying of President Trump in the extremely

189
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: dubious hush money conviction. Now, yesterday the Trump team asked

190
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court to at least delay this travesty

191
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: of justice. But as I've been saying for months now,

192
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: it really seems like this whole case and this whole

193
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: process is just so the Democrats, like we're in third grade,

194
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: Eduardo can call Donald Trump convicted, felon, convicted, Vellin convicted,

195
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: Bell until of course, it's inevitably overturned by another court,

196
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: and they are going to put the words convicted fellain

197
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: in the headlines of every story on the inauguration. You

198
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: just know, it is that worth it? Is it really

199
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: worth it in order to do it just for that.

200
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not surprised that we're facing this a

201
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: couple of weeks before the inauguration. I've been telling a

202
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: lot of people close to me that it seems very

203
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: suspicious that we're going to just waltz into the inauguration

204
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 4: with no problems. I think this is the Democrat Party's

205
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: lasted attempt to sentence President Trump. You know, are they

206
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: going to try to sendence him to jail time? Will

207
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: he have to serve it maybe after he leaves the

208
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: White House. It's totally absurd this case and all the

209
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 4: other cases. I mean, it was nothing more than an

210
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: attempt to get Trump thrown out of the race. It

211
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: was all orchestrated by the Democrat Party at various levels

212
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 4: where you whether you look at the state government in New.

213
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: York or the federal cases. So look, I'm not an attorney.

214
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: I don't know what the president would be for the

215
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 4: Supreme Court to del here. But the Supreme Court is

216
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: a lot more serious to court than this judge, Mrshawn,

217
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 4: who has used this entire thing to make a name

218
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: for himself. He seems to be corrupt. His daughter's a

219
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: Democrat Party operative. And so instead of looking at this

220
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 4: situation and saying to himself, look, Trump won the election,

221
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: let's do what's good for the country, he's trying to

222
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: do what's good for himself. He's trying to do what's

223
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 4: good for the Democrat Party. And like you say, it's

224
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: all optics. I mean, Trump isn't going to go to

225
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: prison at this point. He is going to serve as

226
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 4: president of the United States. All this is is a

227
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: question of what they'll be able to do to him

228
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: when he leaves office, and what they'll be able to

229
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: do in terms of optics as we head into the inauguration.

230
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: So I'm hoping that the Supreme Court will will stop this.

231
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what the president is, but hopefully

232
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: they can put a stop to this.

233
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a spoiler alert for everyone who's fooling

234
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: around with the law injustice to get at your political opponents.

235
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: It will come back on you. I have thousands of

236
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: years of history to prove it.

237
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: But in the more recent modern history French Revolution, Soviet Union,

238
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: all the people who destroyed the courts and destroyed the

239
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: rights of the people for their political ends up getting

240
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: persecuted and sometimes even executed based on their destruction of

241
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: the law themselves. Speaking of legal travesties, Eduardo. Attorney General

242
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland is responding to a federal judges decision to

243
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: block Special Prosecutor Jacksmith's report on President Trump's alleged election

244
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: interference activities, and he's going to release this report anyway.

245
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: Smear away, mister Garland. It's just this is again just

246
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: meant to get the Trump haters excited and happy.

247
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 5: You know.

248
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: I know you're not a lawyer, and maybe it's better

249
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: that you're not to answer this question.

250
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: You know.

251
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: If you can have these kinds of accusations and innuendo

252
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: and stuff like that in a report without the judge

253
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: or jury ever having to decide whether it's true, sounds

254
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: like it's a win win for people who just want

255
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: to smear away.

256
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like to me. It's making a

257
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: mockery of our justice systems.

258
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 5: Again.

259
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 4: I think these cases aren't at the forefront of most Americans'

260
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: mind because they assumed, like many of us did, that

261
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: when they were tossed several months ago, at least this

262
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: specific case, and when Trump won the election, that this

263
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: was all in the past.

264
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: It's not.

265
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 4: It's back and so let's lay it out here. What

266
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 4: you had was a special counsel who was chosen unconstitutionally.

267
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 4: The judge, Judge Eileen Cannon, a federal judge in Florida,

268
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 4: agreed with Trump tossed the case on those grounds. She

269
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 4: said he was chosen unconstitutionally. Biden should have nominated Jack

270
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 4: Smith and held Jacksmith should have been confirmed.

271
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: By the Senate.

272
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: He was not.

273
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: It was an unconstitutional appointment. And she ruled in Trump's

274
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 4: favor that this case was an entire joke. And so

275
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: instead of saying, okay, if the prosecution, if this case

276
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: was tossed, right, if this case is invalid.

277
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: We're not moving forward.

278
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: Why should the person who had spent months and months

279
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: and months investigating this bogus case now be allowed to

280
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: go public and tell the entire country his version.

281
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 2: Of what he found.

282
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it is intended to incriminate Trump, Like you say,

283
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 4: without a trial, without a ruling by a judge or

284
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 4: a jury, and so no, this is totally insane. Judge

285
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: Aileen Cannon has tried to block it. And so then

286
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: you have Merrek Garland coming out. I guess there's an

287
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: appeal before an appellate court. He is going to try to

288
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 4: release it before the public if we allow this, and look,

289
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: I know most of the allegations against Trump are public now,

290
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: but if you allow this, you basically have a scenario

291
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 4: by which a prosecutor can try to throw the most

292
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 4: insane charges at you, even in an unconstitutional manner, as

293
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: Judge Eileen Cannon found in the case of Jack Smith.

294
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 4: Then a judge can rule and say, no, you know

295
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: that we're tossing this case. There is nothing valid about

296
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 4: that case, and then the prosecutor can go public with

297
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 4: his allegations.

298
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: Anyway.

299
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 4: It is trying to find people guilty in the court

300
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: of public opinion. It's not what our founders intended, and

301
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 4: it's a total disgrace. I hope the Supreme Court if

302
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: the suppellate judge of the suppellate panel rather agrees and

303
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: allows Marrek Garland to do this. I'm hoping the Supreme

304
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: Court will be able to step in and block it

305
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: from happening because it is totally destroying and debasing our

306
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: system of justice in this country.

307
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: Edward and Aurett, thank you so much for joining us.

308
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: He's the host of the narrophiles on substat check that out.

309
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: We're always excited when Eduardo joins us. I'm sure we'll

310
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: see you pretty soon. Thank you so much.

311
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, Thanks so much, Jake.

312
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, the Supreme Court is set to

313
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: hear last ditch arguments tomorrow from TikTok's lawyers trying to

314
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: keep the social media platform from being banned in the US.

315
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: Will have a preview of their arguments and their chances.

316
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: But first we'll dig even deeper into just how egregious

317
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland's decision to release Jack Smith's accusations against President

318
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: Trump really are due process Not so much. American Sunrise

319
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: early edition is coming right back.

320
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: It's Times Square. Very cold in New York today.

321
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: The temperature feels like it's four degrees, so a little rough.

322
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: Of course, we cannot complain. Our friends in Los Angeles

323
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: are dealing with life and death right now. I will

324
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: take the cold weather over what they're dealing with and

325
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: try to help them as best we can. Welcome back

326
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: to American Sunrise early edition. I'm Jake Novak. You know,

327
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: the decision by Merrick Garland to release a series of

328
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: unproved accusations against President Trump without having the first scrutinized

329
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: by a judge and jury is angering not just Trump supporters,

330
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: but all people with respect for defendants' rights. What they

331
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: do to Trump, they can do to us now, folks.

332
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: One top legal expert explains this to Steve Bannon here,

333
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: Merek Garland has decided on his own to give it

334
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: to the committee for a camera review.

335
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 5: Can you explain to me what's going on and how

336
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 5: could that possibly be legal?

337
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 6: Sir?

338
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

339
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 6: Jack Smith brought to bogus cases against President Trump. There

340
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 6: is the case in DC with d c Obama Judge

341
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 6: Tanya Shudkin, where Jack Smith charged President Trump for the

342
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 6: non crime of objecting to a presidential election, which is

343
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 6: allowed by the Electoral Account Act of eighteen eighty seven

344
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 6: and the First Amendment. The second case that Jack Smith

345
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 6: brought was down in Florida for the non car I'm

346
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 6: of a former president having his presidential records in the

347
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 6: office of former President, which is allowed under the Presidential

348
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 6: Records Act. Jack Smith charged Trump with espionage for that right.

349
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 6: And so the January sixth case in DC has been

350
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 6: completely thrown out against President Trump, and he was the

351
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 6: only defendant down in Florida. The case was thrown out

352
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 6: against Trump because he's the president elect.

353
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 5: But there are two other co defendants.

354
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 6: And here's what they're trying to do with this Special

355
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 6: Council report. It is a one sided political drive by shooting,

356
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 6: a last a last ditch efforts by Merrick Garland and

357
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 6: Joe Biden and their henchman Jack Smith to do this

358
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 6: smear of President Trump with this one sided report. If

359
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 6: they issue this report, it's President Trump can't respond to

360
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 6: it in a courtroom. He can't call witnesses, he can't

361
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 6: present at his own evidence, he can't he can't confront

362
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 6: their witnesses. It is a political drive by shooting. And

363
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 6: with the case in DC, they it looks like Jack

364
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 6: Smith is going to release that reports. With the chuck

365
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 6: In case and then with the Florida case.

366
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 5: The Florida case, jack Smith, it looks like he.

367
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 6: Says he's not going to release the report publicly because

368
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 6: there are two other co defendants. But he's going to

369
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 6: let members of Congress. Merrick Garland and Jack Smith are

370
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 6: going to have members of Congress do what they call

371
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 6: an in camera review, which means a private review. And

372
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 6: I'll tell you, for someone who's worked in Congress, in

373
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 6: both the House and the Senate, if you give members

374
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 6: of Congress.

375
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 5: Anything in in camera.

376
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 6: Review, it's going to leak out to the public immediately.

377
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 5: This is bogus, all right.

378
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Steve Vanners war Room airs here on Real America's Voice

379
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: every Monday through Friday at ten am. Let's take a

380
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: bit of a tour around the country to get some

381
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: updates on a few key stories you should know. First

382
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: in Texas, where a battle is set involving establishment Republicans

383
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: and more conservative Republicans in the Texas State House. Texas

384
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: State Representative David Cook was voted the state's GOP nominee

385
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: for House Speaker in December. The current House Speaker Date

386
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: fhal And dropped out of the race didn't have enough support.

387
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: That was a win for conservatives, but State Representative Dustin Burroughs,

388
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: a close ally of Falan, is also running for the

389
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: speakership and gathering Democratic Party support. Interesting crossing party lines

390
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: for a speaker's vote is extremely rare.

391
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: It's drawing the angerer of those conservative Republicans.

392
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: President Trump has strongly come out in support of the

393
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: conservative representative Cook. He's denounced any deal with the Democrats

394
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: to elect another speaker. That vote is scheduled for later

395
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: this month. Now to Virginia, where a stunning arrest has

396
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: been made in the Richmond area. After seven mysterious injuries

397
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: occurred to newborn babies at Doctor's Hospital in Raiko County.

398
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: I used to live around the corner from there, police

399
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: have now arrested a former nurse at the hospital and

400
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: charged her with malicious wounding and felony child abuse.

401
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 2: Can you believe this?

402
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: For now, that hospital has shut down its newborn intensive

403
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: care unit as a precaution. Now here's an update on

404
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: a story you might have heard about over the last

405
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: couple of years that hits on a key national security

406
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: issue in the heartland. Michigan's Macosta County Board of Commissioners

407
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: has finally voted to block a Chinese company called Goshen

408
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: their proposed electric.

409
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: Vehicle battery plant in Green Charter Township.

410
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty three, the board approved the deal,

411
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: but even though the local community needs the jobs, Believe me,

412
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: the public was alarmed by the plant's proximity to vital

413
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: farmland and military bases. A two year long battle ensued.

414
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: It's still not over, but this story has many parallels

415
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: to other Chinese controlled factories and properties in vital agricultural

416
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: and military base areas in a America. Many national security

417
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: experts believe this is a real threat. Again, it's not

418
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: over yet, but the people in that neighborhood seem to

419
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: have said no, despite the fact that they could use

420
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: the money.

421
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: Coming up on.

422
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is on

423
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: her way out, and with her exit, she's treating us

424
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: to just a small snippet of truth.

425
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: Isn't that nice? I'll explain that in a moment.

426
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: And we're just one day away from TikTok's last ditch

427
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: argument before the Supreme Court to avoid.

428
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: A ban in the United States.

429
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: But could mister wonderful Kevin O'Leary solve the problem before

430
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: the justices intervene. American Sunrise Early Edition will be right back,

431
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: all right. Let's take a look at how the markets

432
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: are going to open.

433
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 7: Today.

434
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: Just kidding.

435
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: There is no trading today. We had a mixed day

436
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: on Walts read yesterday. You're looking at Dallas, Texas right now.

437
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: But it's funny that you know that the market's closed yesterday.

438
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: There you go, you know, just those are actually the futures.

439
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: But that's not gonna be today's futures. We are closed

440
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: today because of the state funeral for Jimmy Carter.

441
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: This is not special treatment.

442
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: Every time you have a state funeral day for a president,

443
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: they do not have trading on Wall Street, even for

444
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: short term presidents like Gerald Ford.

445
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: They stopped the trading. So all right, but the day off.

446
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: From trading will do little to ease fears of interest

447
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: rates climbing in America.

448
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: That is a real issue right now, Bonnie.

449
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: Yields have been surging lately, and it sounds really wonky,

450
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: I know, but that serves as a big catalyst for

451
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: everything from mortgages to credit card rates. Mortgages heading up

452
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: right now, well over seven percent in a number of areas.

453
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: That's gonna be rough.

454
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: Luckily, however, this is still the slow season for home sales,

455
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: so you know, it's.

456
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: Not gonna be that noticeably yet.

457
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: But if we're in the spring in the summer, and

458
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,479
Speaker 1: we're still where we are right now on mortgage rates.

459
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really rough for a lot of different

460
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: parts of our economy, all right. In today's car News,

461
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: Honda says it's all in on its plan to make

462
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: its Zero series electric vehicles in.

463
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: The US Ohio to be exact, The.

464
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: Exact vehicles are the Honda Zero saloon and the Honda

465
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: Zero Suv. They're expected to hit the market sometime next year.

466
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: That's twenty twenty six. Remember, folks, we're in twenty twenty

467
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: five right now, so twenty twenty six is now officially

468
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: next year. There's going to be an interesting thing going

469
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: on in the markets right now. In the auto market, obviously,

470
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: electric vehicle demand is way down where it was from

471
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: a year ago or a couple of years ago, But

472
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it's not going to be a real

473
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: player in the auto market forever. Electric vehicles are going

474
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: to be around for always, just a question of how

475
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: many they're going to be, And Honda, I think is

476
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: uniquely uniquely situated to be one of the last men

477
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: standing in this GM and four can't cut their production

478
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: of evs fast enough because it's just not in their wheelhouse.

479
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: Honda's a different story, So keep an eye on that

480
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: might be a lot of American jobs that we get

481
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: from it. All right, Outgoing Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has

482
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: a treat for us, a little bit of the truth.

483
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: In an interview yesterday, Yellen admitted that those trillions of

484
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: dollars in COVID spending by the government over a short

485
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: period of time actually may have made some prices go

486
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Okay, she still says inflation was

487
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: mostly caused by supply chain issues. Look, Janet Yellen knows

488
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: more about economics than I ever will. I don't think

489
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: she's mistaken here. I think she's allowed all those years

490
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: of politics to corrupt her messaging. I think she knows

491
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: just as well as anyone else, maybe even better, that

492
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: massive spending over a short period of time by the

493
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: government is massively inflationary.

494
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: Do we have supply chain issues still? Absolutely?

495
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: But to say that was only maybe contributing to one

496
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: or two percentage, it's really just not honest from her. Listen,

497
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: that's what a life in politics gets you. She's a

498
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: lot smarter than I am, though, so at least she's

499
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: got that. Now, let's turn to a remarkable moment about

500
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: to go down in legal history. Lawyers for TikTok are

501
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: going before the US Supreme Court tomorrow to make oral

502
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: arguments against the impending ban on the social media platform

503
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: set to go into effect just ten days from now,

504
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: so just nine days before the van they're going for

505
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: the justices joining us now to discuss this is legal

506
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: analyst Mitchell Eppner, who's also a partner at Coodman, tracked

507
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: an Aloposner. Mitch, before we get into the particulars of

508
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: this case, can you tell the viewers just how rare

509
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: this kind of situation is before the court.

510
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 8: So for the Supreme Court to move with this sort

511
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 8: of speed is virtually unheard of. To give a counter example,

512
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 8: when the Donald Trump litigations went before the Supreme Court

513
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 8: with the Chutkin prosecution, it took them almost two months

514
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 8: from the time that they said they were going to

515
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 8: hear the case until there was oral argument. Here, they've

516
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 8: done it in a matter of days. And they've done

517
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 8: it because there's a deadline set by the statue. So

518
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 8: if the Supreme Court doesn't act, then TikTok essentially disappears

519
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 8: from everybody's phones in less than two weeks.

520
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: All right, Mitch, the elephant in the room is the

521
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: accusation that TikTok is being used to spy on and

522
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: unduly influence Americans, especially young people. So Congress passed the

523
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: law that didn't mention TikTok specifically, but could only apply

524
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: to TikTok. Why would they do.

525
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 8: That, Well, it's what we call in the law a

526
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 8: category of one. You create a definition saying this law

527
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 8: applies to, and then you define a group that includes

528
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 8: one in only one company here ByteDance, which is the

529
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 8: company that owns TikTok. And the reason that they've done

530
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 8: it is to make it seem as if it is

531
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 8: a neutral regulation of foreign ownership of any media, as

532
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 8: opposed to a particular regulation of a particular speaker, because

533
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 8: that can change the First Amendment analysis.

534
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: All right, Now, as this all plays out, Shark Tanks,

535
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: mister wonderful Kevin O'Leary is pushish hard to buy TikTok

536
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: in a partnership with former LA Dodgers owner Frank McCourt.

537
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: I know O'Leary is a Trump supporter, but do you

538
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: think that justices will be worried as worried as I

539
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: am about the bad look it would be for an

540
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: American government to force the sale of an extremely valuable

541
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: foreign owned asset. I mean, we haven't even talked about that.

542
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: This is a very valuable asset. This is not just

543
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: like some dating app. This is massive. Do you think

544
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: that it's the Court's going to be a little bit

545
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: wary about a foreign owned asset being forced to be

546
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: sold off to a potential political ally of any anyone

547
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: in the government.

548
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter if it's Trump, could be Biden, doesn't matter.

549
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 8: So the Supreme Court, the six conservative members, have literally

550
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 8: spilled all of their credibility on all issues in giving

551
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 8: Donald Trump a get out of jail free card. So

552
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 8: I no longer have any confidence that they're going to

553
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 8: do anything with or worry how it's going to look.

554
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 8: They are in Trump's pocket, they are seen to be

555
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 8: in Trump's pocket. They no longer care whether or not

556
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 8: people think they're Trump's pocket. So they're going to do

557
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 8: what they think they should do. They no longer have

558
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 8: any reputational concerns. They spilled all of that a year ago.

559
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: Well let's see how that plays out. Also, a bitch.

560
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: I think is Also it's also important to ask whether

561
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: all of the justices, let's take politics out of the

562
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: game right now. This is something that I worry about

563
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: all the time in tech cases. How aware are some

564
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: of these justices when it comes to just what TikTok

565
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: is all about? You know, it's just like I said,

566
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: it isn't just another app There have been a lot

567
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: of cases at pretty high levels of the government where sorry,

568
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: pretty high levels of the court system where it doesn't

569
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: seem like the judges are all that tech savvy.

570
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: We had some justices on this court in the last year.

571
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: Who have made points about health care and some other

572
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: facts that you know, prove that they weren't all that

573
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: educated on it. I hope it was just a one off.

574
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: Are you a conserv forget about this case exactly? Are

575
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: you concerned that.

576
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: The judges in the jude judicial system largely aren't as

577
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: well educated on the very very fast moving tech world

578
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: as they should.

579
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 8: Be well concerned about. And actually Justice Scalia used to

580
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 8: make this point all the time. Isn't that the judges

581
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 8: justices aren't educated on tech, it's that they act as

582
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 8: if they are educated on tech. And John Roberts and

583
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 8: Gorsach and some of the other Conservatives are really horrible

584
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 8: about this. They act as if they know what they're

585
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 8: talking about when they don't.

586
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: Well, that is good.

587
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: That's going to be a problem, I think in all

588
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: of our political life and legal life.

589
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 2: All right, Mitchell Edner, thanks for joining us.

590
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: We'll be watching those oral arguments while I should say,

591
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: probably just getting the audio or the transcripts.

592
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: They don't have cameras in the US Supreme Court yet, folks.

593
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: Coming up on American Sunrise, we'll look again at those

594
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: awful fires in LA and what we can learn from

595
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: how the entire state has been managed and mismanaged for decades.

596
00:28:48,880 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: Stay with us. It's Thursday, January ninth. Here are some

597
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: of today's top stories. Apocalyptic scenes abound in and around

598
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County, in gulfed in flames coming from many fronts,

599
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 1: New fires arising all the time. Right now, more than

600
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: one thousand homes and other buildings gone. Five people are dead.

601
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: This is already the most destructive fire in LA history,

602
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: and it is not under control. Will the High Court

603
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: step in to stay President Trump's hush money sentencing tomorrow?

604
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: And would that be the reaction. If the judges do it,

605
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: would the reaction be safe? Would it be when we

606
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: have riots? We await a decision anytime now. Attorney General

607
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland will also likely escape any accountability for his

608
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: decision to release Special Prosecutor Jacksmith's report on President Trump.

609
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: In other words, a series of accusations about supposed elected

610
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: and interference will be publicized without having to.

611
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: Face the scrutiny of a judge or jury. That is weird.

612
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: The Democrats who refuse to vote for the Lake and

613
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: Riley Act are defending their decisions, but they're all using

614
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: the same tropes and pretzel logic as they try to

615
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: explain the inexplicable. American Sunrise Early Edition continues. Now, Yeah,

616
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: I just want to remind everyone as well.

617
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm Jake Noveck. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition.

618
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: I want to remind everybody also that today is President

619
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter's state funeral, So the markets will be closed,

620
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: there'll be a number of federal offices closed, and of

621
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: course we'll be covering that on Real America's Voice today.

622
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: But of course, the main story in America today is

623
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: those LA wildfires. They have claimed at least five lives.

624
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: They've destroyed more than one thousand homes and other buildings

625
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: not under control yet. Joining me now is Oklahoma Schools

626
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: Chief Ryan Walters, And I wonder, Ryan, if you'd like

627
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: to tell our audience just some of your initial.

628
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: Impressions of this.

629
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: We can get into the politics in a second, but

630
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know again, you see stuff like this.

631
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: This could happen a natural disasters of different kinds can

632
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: have and in any state, you are a state official,

633
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: just wondering, as someone who sometimes is responsible for lives

634
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: or at least welfare of people, how you feel about

635
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: this stuff.

636
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 7: Oh, it's absolutely heartbreaking, you know. I saw some of

637
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 7: the families going on TV last night talking about I mean,

638
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 7: losing their homes, losing that, you know, not knowing what's

639
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 7: next for them. I saw some beautiful churches burned down

640
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 7: to and we've had loss of life, and it's just

641
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 7: an absolute tragedy. It's terrible for the people there in California,

642
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 7: and you know, our thoughts and prayers are with them

643
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 7: during this time. But I'm telling you, it is tragic

644
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 7: to see these scenes playing out, you know, in such

645
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 7: a beautiful area. With so many people being displaced and harmed.

646
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 7: It's just absolutely terrible.

647
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's we have to do this first.

648
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: And of course, if this does not result in people

649
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: responding to the political mismanagement of the state, then I

650
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: don't know what to say. But Ryan, you're from Oklahoma,

651
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: and you're very intimately familiar with another issue going on

652
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: right now in America, and that is the oil and

653
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: gas industry. And in the week of Joe Biden's last

654
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: minute bands on offshore drilling, I wonder if you could

655
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: tell our audience just how seriously these are bands.

656
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: You know, these bands affect states like yours.

657
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: I know offshore is not exactly Oklahoma's thing, but bands

658
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: on any kind of things like racking and stuff like that.

659
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: How does this affect just regular people in your state?

660
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 7: This affects every single American When you use the federal

661
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 7: government to clamp down on the free market. You see,

662
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 7: oil and gas is such a driver of everything we do.

663
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 7: It is in nearly you know, most products that people

664
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 7: interact with on a day to day basis, but also

665
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 7: the energy sectors. You look at the price at the pump,

666
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 7: you look at the price of goods, you look at

667
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 7: the price of everything goes up dramatically.

668
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 5: It is.

669
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 7: You know, Joe Biden is trying to erect this economy

670
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 7: before President Trump takes over. You couldn't get him in

671
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 7: office faster. We've got a drill, baby, drill. You'll look

672
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 7: here in Oklahoma. Again, we are one of the epicenters

673
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 7: here of oil and natural gas. And again we're gonna

674
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 7: keep doing those things. But the federal government, it's got

675
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 7: to get out of the way. This impacts every single American.

676
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 7: I know the left hates it, but I'm sorry, oil

677
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 7: and gas fuels our economy. That's not changing, Okay, So

678
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 7: we have got to continue to stay out of the way,

679
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 7: let the free market work and not impact the day

680
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 7: to day lives of people that are struggling during Joe

681
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 7: Biden's inflation. Because the Left has some green energy quagmire

682
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 7: that they're constantly trying to push on the American people

683
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 7: against their will.

684
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Ryan, I came up with I'm gonna

685
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: pat myself on the back. I came up with I

686
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: thought was a brilliant analogy. Yes, today, removing our fossil

687
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: fuel assets when we don't have anywhere near the green

688
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: energy assets immediately available and ready.

689
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: To replace them. Is like someone coming into.

690
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: Your bathroom while you're in the shower and taking your

691
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: towels away without replacing them. Somebody in my life used

692
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: to do that. By the way, they shall remain nameless,

693
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: all right. Maybe that's why people in Oklahoma are now

694
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: demonstrating against green energy like we saw this week. Can

695
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: you explain a little bit about this push against green

696
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: energy in Oklahoma?

697
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

698
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: You know.

699
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: Guess what.

700
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 7: We've got all of the woke green energy companies moving

701
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 7: into the state demanding subsidies on the backs of Oklahoma taxpayers,

702
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 7: and we've said enough is enough.

703
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely not.

704
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 7: We are not welcoming Joe Biden's green energy deal into

705
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 7: Oklahoma on the backs of taxpayers. Here's the reality. The

706
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 7: green energy market is not there. There is not a

707
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 7: customer for it. There's not this value for it. So

708
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 7: they're coming to the government asking for these handouts. Who

709
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 7: are going No, if it was a viable option, it

710
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 7: would stand on its own two feet in the free market.

711
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: It's not.

712
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 7: So we are not going to sit here and have

713
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 7: our hard working Oklahomas, our farmers and ranchers, our day

714
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 7: to day. You know, if folks going to work day

715
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 7: to day, sitting there and having their taxpayer dollars subsidize

716
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 7: in most cases woke green energy companies that frankly are

717
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 7: advocating for things very much against our values. We've seen

718
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 7: other foreign countries coming in trying to get those subsidies

719
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 7: as well, and we're going to continue to stand firm

720
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 7: again here in Oklahoma and standing with the taxpayers.

721
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there's something not capitalist about it.

722
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm all for all kinds of competition, especially in the

723
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: energy space, and that is really something that's fueled our

724
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: country and opun intended for a long time. But there's

725
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: something not capitalist about companies that come in that can

726
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: only survive on government subsidies and as soon as they

727
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: go away, they're fine with shutting down. We've seen this

728
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: before that it's just it's really fishy to me. I

729
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, listen, all for making a buck,

730
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: but if you're not interested in surviving beyond a one

731
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: time government subsidy, and it's basically kind of like medicare fraud.

732
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: Ryan, you are.

733
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: Making news yourself this week with the column you wrote

734
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: for the Washington Examiner, and I was really interested by it.

735
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 2: It calls out.

736
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: Teachers, unions, and the public school systems across the America

737
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: for conditioning our kids to sympathize with terrorists.

738
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: Can you tell us what you meant by that a

739
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: little bit? We're going to dig into this a little deeper.

740
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely.

741
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 7: You know, you look at these terroristic events that happen

742
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 7: in the country. It's absolutely tragic. And then you turn

743
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 7: around and see that the left constantly wants to look

744
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 7: out of an isolation. Oh, let's just move on to

745
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 7: the next issue, let's just not talk about it anymore.

746
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 2: And you go, no, no, no, stop.

747
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 7: There is a broader issue here, which is when you

748
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 7: see homegrown terrorism, you've got to take a look. What

749
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 7: are we telling people. Didn't take very long to go

750
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 7: back and go look. We had even a teacher in

751
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 7: my own state that was applauding the assassination a tip

752
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 7: to President Trump asking next time, assassin, please don't miss.

753
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 7: We since removed that teacher from the classroom, but we

754
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 7: saw that all over the country. We have seen the

755
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 7: left applauding an assassination of a CEO because he was

756
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 7: a capitalist. And you know, you go, guys, if we

757
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 7: don't get this under control and start talking about American exceptionalism,

758
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 7: American values in our schools. We are going down a

759
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 7: very dangerous path by fomenting hatred against this country and Oklahoma, look,

760
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 7: we're going the opposite direction. We're saying we want our

761
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 7: kids to love this country, understand what made this country great,

762
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 7: Understanding Marya values because that brings everyone together.

763
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 5: That is a.

764
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 7: Unifying message for the next generation and something that they

765
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 7: aspire to to continue those values going on. But we

766
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 7: have got to take a hard look at what is

767
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 7: going on in America. To have homegrown terrorism, to have

768
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 7: national movements lionizing terrorists, we have got to get this

769
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 7: under control, or I'm telling you it is a very

770
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 7: dark path that we will be going down with this

771
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 7: next generation.

772
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think a lot of people have

773
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: a problem and I saw this after nine to eleven.

774
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: There were people saying, why would someone do this to us?

775
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 1: And that's a legitimate question to ask. It's also legitimate

776
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: to ask, hey, what did we do to allow this

777
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: to happen? Where there was there anything that we did

778
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: to encourage this? Things like that, And I think that

779
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: those are fair questions asked, but not if you're not

780
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: going to answer these questions, honestly, and we have to

781
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: ask ourselves who's answering.

782
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 2: These questions now?

783
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: To say that we have a mental health care problem

784
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: in this country absolutely, to say that we have a

785
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: problem in this country where we are not allowing people

786
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: who drop a dime on someone. You know, we say

787
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: it here in New York City. If you see something,

788
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: say something, I'm sorry. We've had mass shooting after mass shooting,

789
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: attack after attack where people have said something and the

790
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: authorities didn't do it.

791
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 2: So there's plenty of blame to go around.

792
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: If your argument is, oh, you don't want to take

793
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: any blame for anything, and that's why you're not letting

794
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: us sympathize with terrorists, and I'll have to push back

795
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: on that, Ryan, because it's not that we got plenty

796
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: of mistakes that we've made.

797
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: We didn't enforced law and.

798
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: Order properly, and we could even say in some cases,

799
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: we didn't show the proper compassion with having a viable

800
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: mental health care system in this country.

801
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: So there's plenty of blame to go around.

802
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: But to blame us and say, well, we must have

803
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: said something that inspired someone to kill dozens of innocent people,

804
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: like kind of like the All State CEO sort of

805
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: insinuated in that horrific video he made after what happened

806
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: on Bourbon Street. He basically said, you know, maybe if

807
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: we were nicer, people wouldn't ram us with trucks. That's

808
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: really not the way it works, sir, And I think

809
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: that you understand that. So if you had to tell

810
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: a teacher or a public school system how to deal

811
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: with that, would you tell them something similar like, Hey,

812
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: it's okay to criticize our failings, but don't say that

813
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: the terrorists had a good reason to go kill people.

814
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't start by indoctrinating kids and telling them

815
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 7: that this is an evil country, that it's embedded in racism,

816
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 7: that this country is something that you should be ashamed of.

817
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 7: To deny patriotism. I mean, again, we have to have

818
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,479
Speaker 7: these conversations. And again, a lot, you know, the left

819
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 7: is very uncomfortable with it. You know, some people get

820
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 7: uncomfortable with it, but it's a reality. What are we

821
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 7: saying about our country? What is the broader context in

822
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 7: which these events are occurring? And again, we've got to

823
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 7: look beyond just one event. We've got to look at

824
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 7: it in totality and say, listen, when you tell people

825
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 7: for generation after generation that it's an evil country and

826
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 7: you champion terrorism and you champion assassination attempts, and you go, well,

827
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 7: we didn't mean it. It's like, guys, stop, we have

828
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 7: got to get back to a time. We're talking about

829
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 7: American values. We're talking about character in school. We're bringing

830
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 7: things like the Bible back to school, the Declaration of Independence,

831
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 7: the Constitution, so kids have that understanding. And again we've

832
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 7: got to take a look at everything. We've got to

833
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 7: take a look at the border. We've got to take

834
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 7: a look at law enforcement. To your point on that, hey,

835
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 7: look you Sae. These campaigns about saying something to do something, Well,

836
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 7: if you say something and the authorities don't act on that,

837
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 7: well that doesn't really help, now, it does it.

838
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: So you've got to look at this.

839
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 7: In totality and have that comprehensive discussion about how do

840
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 7: we keep our citizens safe? What are we doing as

841
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 7: a country. And I'm telling you, the Left playing into

842
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 7: this appeasement of violence for a political cause has got

843
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 7: to stop.

844
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, It's that's it.

845
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: You know again, we can criticize our response, we can

846
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: criticize our law and order. If you say that we're

847
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: an evil country to start with, everything's excusable. Ryan Walters

848
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: in the Great state of Oklahoma, thank you for joining

849
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: us on Happy New Year.

850
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 7: Thank you for having me. Happy New Year.

851
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: All right, Coming up, David Brody and I will discuss

852
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: why one is truly the loneliness and most dangerous number

853
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: in politics.

854
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: One party States is what I'm talking about.

855
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 9: Stay with us.

856
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: That's Philadelphia, PA. I think that's the train station. It's

857
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: a major building in Philadelphia. Whatever it is.

858
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: The Eagles gonna be in the playoff.

859
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: They look pretty good. I'm interested to see how they do.

860
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: I know that's probably the buzz right now in Philly,

861
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: just a couple of days away from their playoff game.

862
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: All right, time for our daily visit or call it

863
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: a handoff with David Brody from The Big Show. And David,

864
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see people from all sides of the

865
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: political fence, and people who aren't even in politics. I'm

866
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: glad to see so many of them are coming out

867
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: and stating the obvious that the current and many past

868
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: Democrat governors and mayors of California and mayors of Los

869
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: Angeles are responsible for these massive wildfires. Of course, of course,

870
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: we have to save the lives first. That is our

871
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: number one priority. We're not going to make blaming politicians

872
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: our number one priority. But if we don't learn from this, David,

873
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: then we are really guilty of the next one. And

874
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: this is what I call one party state. Let's take

875
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: away the partisanship for it, just for a second. One

876
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: party states doesn't matter what the party is, folks. One

877
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: party states are a bad thing for your health and

878
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: for your economy.

879
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: I'm sure you agree, but go get them, David.

880
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 10: Well, I do agree with all of what you're saying,

881
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 10: but clearly, Jake, this is all about climate change, in

882
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 10: global warming anyhow, you know, this is what they tell us. Look,

883
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 10: that's exactly right. And this is a situation, Jake, that

884
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 10: it's kind of death by a thousand paper cuts, right,

885
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 10: I mean, it goes on and on and on and on,

886
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 10: and look at what you have. And it's by the way,

887
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 10: not just now what we're seeing in California, in southern California,

888
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 10: in the Los Angeles area, but year after year in California.

889
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 10: You can make the argument, actually you can definitely make

890
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 10: the argument decade after decade.

891
00:42:58,640 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 2: Look, they haven't.

892
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 10: Built in a new reservoir since nineteen eighty.

893
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 11: I mean, let me do the math. Forty is sixty

894
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 11: for how many years?

895
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 5: Is that?

896
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 11: That's u I can't even do math. It's forty two

897
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 11: years for yeah, forty five years. I can't even do math.

898
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 10: Forty five years that haven't built a reservoir. I mean

899
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 10: in California? Are you kidding? Have you heard there's a

900
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 10: drought in California? Maybe you should build a reservoir. Now, listen,

901
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 10: I understand that it's expensive. I mean we're talking billions

902
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 10: of dollars.

903
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 11: I also understand that it takes time ten years.

904
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 10: Okay, but you've had forty five years, you know, So

905
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 10: why don't you get kracking on that? Look, there's the

906
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 10: site's reservoir up in the Sacramento area. In that Sacramento

907
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 10: County area, voters approve this in twenty eighteen. They are

908
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 10: apparently going to just start it now. In twenty twenty four.

909
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 10: Of course, it was challenged by the environmentalists in court.

910
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 10: That's why it was held up, and then ultimately they

911
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 10: hope to complete that in twenty thirty or so.

912
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 11: Dot dot dot we'll see.

913
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 10: But the point is is that this is a big

914
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 10: part of the problem. Oh did I even mention the

915
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 10: fact that I'm sure or you discussed this.

916
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 11: But the idea that not the idea. The actual reality

917
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 11: is that.

918
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 10: The Los Angeles budget got slashed as it relates to firefighting.

919
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 11: They're firefighting budget.

920
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 10: So look, we know about that, and then we go

921
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 10: right to the hydrants and all of that.

922
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 11: But the reservoir issue is a big one.

923
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 10: And I bring that up a jake because back to

924
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 10: the Death by a Thousand paper cuts, it's not just

925
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 10: one thing.

926
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 11: It's not two things, it's not three things.

927
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 10: It's policy after policy after policy, and the environmental wackos,

928
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 10: as Rush Limbaugh used to call them, are at it

929
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 10: once again because they don't want to have their precious

930
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 10: little fish. Donald Trump is right be invaded, if you will,

931
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 10: by the horrible.

932
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 11: Human humans out there.

933
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 2: So this is a big part of what's.

934
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 11: Been holding up many of these reservoirs.

935
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 10: But it's not just that it's incompetence by Democrat politicians.

936
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 10: And the good news is is that people are starting

937
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 10: to wake up and hopefully they'll wake.

938
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:57,479
Speaker 11: Up on this issue as well.

939
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, I'm waiting for power to abhorror

940
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: a vacuum here, David. There's got to be someone in

941
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: the Republican Party in California and also the Democratic Party

942
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: in California who will want to take advantage politically of

943
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: what has happened. And that's fine as long as they listen.

944
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: If they impose a policy after they take advantage of

945
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: it and gain power that saves lives and stops us

946
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: from happening, then so be it. You know, Milton Friedman,

947
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: the great Nobel Prize winning economists, reminded us many times

948
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: the greatest achievements in humankind came from people working in

949
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: their own selfish self interest. And so if you get

950
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: a Democrat or a Republican running for office in the

951
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: next couple months who says, hey, my policy is going

952
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 1: to be to do and actually does it, who cares?

953
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, are we really that worried about somebody

954
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: being doing the right thing out of their selfish self interest?

955
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 2: Who cares?

956
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 5: One hundred percent?

957
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 11: Look, I think the Trump template is at play here,

958
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 11: and you got to play. It's not even the Trump playbook.

959
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 11: It's more than Trump template.

960
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 10: In the sense that if you get a center right,

961
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 10: a guy that has a popular tinge. And of course

962
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 10: Trump doesn't have the populist tinge. He has a full

963
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 10: on populist appeal. But I'm talking about specifically in California.

964
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 10: If you have someone that has a populist tinge and

965
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 10: his center right and it's kind of I don't wanna

966
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 10: call him Reagan esque, but someone that has some charisma

967
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 10: out there, it can actually.

968
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 11: Put it all together. I think you have the makings.

969
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 10: Of a California governor that is a Republican and not

970
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 10: a Schwarzenegger. By the way, I'm talking about someone that

971
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 10: is actually going to do something for we the people.

972
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Schwarzenegger almost did it, and then when he realized

973
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: that he had to stand up to the unions in California,

974
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: the same unions that control the movie industry that he

975
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: wanted to get back to, that was the end of

976
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: any good stuff from Arnold Farzenegger.

977
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 2: David Brody, thanks so much for joining us.

978
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,959
