1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Ahead an American Sunrise early edition. President Trump puts in 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: a ninety day pause on the tariffs, and Wall Street 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: responds with its biggest gains in years. But will the 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: gains hold when the market opens today? Of course, the 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: tariffs are not being delayed for one country, and that's China. 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: Trump hits Beijing with even bigger tariffs instead, and now 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: it's looking like the entire trade antrium was all about 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: China all along. It's your move, president. She The back 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: in session House hands President Trump a victory with a 10 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: vote to advance his big budget bill to a final vote, 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: but it's not at all clear if it will pass 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: in the end. The budget hawks are angry. Two more 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: so called elite universities are facing the possible loss of 14 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions and maybe billions of dollars worth of 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: federal funding. This time, the Trump administration is looking into 16 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: Cornell and Northwestern and how they handle the anti Semitic 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: riots on their campuses masquerading as anti Israel protests, And 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: a Facebook whistleblower tells the Senate just how deeply Mark Zuckerberg, 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: Cheryl Sanmdberg, and other Meta executives colluded with communist China. 20 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: Some people in Congress are now calling for a criminal probe. 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition starts now. 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, 23 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: freedom and the values that built this nation takes center. 24 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 3: Stack your good deeds and bad deeds. 25 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: That's how we're gonna judge you. 26 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the stories 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: that matter. 28 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: He will be letting the public know regularly what we 29 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: have found. 30 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak, starts now. 31 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: Good morning, I'm Jake Novak. This is America Sunrise Early Edition. 32 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: Is it just me? This has been a fast week. 33 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: It's already Thursday. I can't believe this. A lot has happened. 34 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: I guess that's why. But we got to get a 35 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: handle on what's happening. Joining me now is International Women's 36 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: Forum fellow Nicole Kipperlove. I call her the Maven and 37 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: ben Hassett because she's in Man Hassett and she knows 38 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. Nicole, I want to start though, 39 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: with the look at where we can expect the markets 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: to open it in because the world has been focused 41 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: on the markets most of the time, they're not but 42 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: let's take a look what we're expecting, and it is 43 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: an ugly open again, despite that twenty nine hundred point 44 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: gan on the now yesterday. Now, this is obviously just 45 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: a small fraction of that twenty nine hundred points starting 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: at six eighty, so it's about twenty five percent of 47 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: a takeoff from that gain. But it looks like investors 48 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: are are looking to be a little bit more cautious again. 49 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: But once again I must focus everyone on gold. Look 50 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: at that thirty one twenty seven on gold, up another 51 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: percent and a half, and that's a big deal. Crude 52 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: oil down went up again over sixty bucks an how 53 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: we're at sixty bucks a barrel. And let's look quickly 54 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: at bitcoin for those of you, because that was a 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: big gain on bitcoin yesterday as well, and I believe 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: that bitcoin came in. Yeah, they're back over the eighty 57 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: thousand dollars mark, but it's down again today about a percent. 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: All right. Not going to ask you for stock market advice, Nicole, 59 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: but I do want to ask you about this reaction 60 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: to the tariffs from Wall Street. I still think this 61 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: has been about ninety nine percent Wall Street and about 62 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: one percent Main Street reacting to this. So far, we 63 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: haven't seen those changes yet when we go to the store. 64 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: But do you think that's going to change? And do 65 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: you think that President Trump was really looking to just 66 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: target China all along? Because remember yesterday he paused the 67 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: tariffs on everyone but China. 68 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 4: So I think it's a little bit of everything here. 69 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 4: I do absolutely think putting pressure on China was a 70 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 4: major priority for the Trump administration. For President Trump, I 71 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: don't think we've seen that being done, and certainly not 72 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: in the last four years under the Biden administration, who 73 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,279 Speaker 4: was incredibly weak in the face of China threatening arnational 74 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: security and again with these tariffs. Look, I think what's 75 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: really important to point out here is that this is 76 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 4: and this is what pretty much a lot of people 77 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: who understand this much better than I do have said, 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 4: this is short term pain, long term gain. I think 79 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 4: President Trump has been in a position here where he 80 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 4: hasn't really had much of a choice. Right he has 81 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: to do this. He has to reinvigorate the economy because 82 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 4: we can't keep going down this path. We have lost 83 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 4: our industries, we have lost our jobs. This is putting 84 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 4: America first. We want to bring back all of our industries. Yes, 85 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: it's about China, but it's about the rest of the 86 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: economy as well. It's about the rest of these benefits 87 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 4: that these tariffs will bring into this country. And I 88 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 4: think that's going to take a while to actually see. 89 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 4: No one is denying that this is painful. There's a 90 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: lot of uncertainty when it comes to these markets. But 91 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 4: you need to feel this discomfort to experience long term success. 92 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 4: And again, President and Trump wouldn't need to be doing 93 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: this if Obama and Biden hadn't put us in a 94 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: position to get taken advantage of, not just by China, 95 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 4: but by other countries as well. You know, I don't 96 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 4: think President Trump was You know, I don't think President 97 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 4: Trump has any other motivation to do this except to 98 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: help the American people, to help blue collar workers. He 99 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 4: wants to stop the hollowing out of the middle class 100 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 4: because he loves that. He loves this country. And one 101 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: last point here, I think it's really important to go 102 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 4: back to the beginning here. How did President Trump start 103 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 4: his business background? He got one million dollars from his 104 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 4: father and turned it into a multi billion dollar business. 105 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 4: He clearly knows what he's doing. He knows how to 106 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 4: negotiate the art of the deal. Right, this is what 107 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 4: this is. It's a negotiation. And if there's anyone I 108 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 4: trust to negotiate on behalf of the United States and 109 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 4: to put this country first, it's the president. 110 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. I wish it was just by the way. I 111 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: wish it were just Obama and Biden who got us 112 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: into this mess. It's seven decades of presidents from both parties, frankly, 113 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: and I think there's also a little bit of a 114 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: conditioning going on here. It's not just to try to 115 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: get China to treat us fairly on trade, but it's 116 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: also maybe to get the American people to start weaning 117 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: us off of our reliance on a bunch of Chinese imports. 118 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: Not all of it is junk, but a lot of 119 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: it is. It hasn't really helped our culture, it hasn't 120 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: really helped America in the long run. But we've got 121 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: to start weaning ourselves. We basically we're kind of addicted 122 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: to it, and we've got to get off of it 123 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: if we're going to survive as a nation. Reminds me 124 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: of what people said about President George W. Bush when 125 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: they said he should have told the American people maybe 126 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: drive less, maybe use less oil, or at least demand 127 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: that we pump more oil here in the United States. 128 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 1: Neither one of those things happened when he was president, 129 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: and we know the results of that. All right, let's 130 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: get to Congress for a second, because they got back 131 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: to work this week. Briefly, I think they're going on 132 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: vacation again in a couple of days. But they Republicans 133 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: in the House did advance the so called Big Buddy 134 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: bill that President Trump likes to a final vote, but 135 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: I think it was only a one vote majority. It's 136 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: not clear whether this thing is going to pass the 137 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: full House. What do you think about fiscal conservatives like 138 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: Thomas Massey and the others deciding to stand on ceremony 139 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: here because they're angry that there isn't enough budget cutting here. 140 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: But do you think they should give Trump a little 141 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: bit more slack because of things like DOGE that are 142 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: working very hard to cut spending. Maybe they should factor 143 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: that in before they vote no on this bill. 144 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 4: Well, I think they also have to consider that this 145 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 4: is just a first step. They can get their spending 146 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: cuts down the line once the budget reconciliation process is unlocked. 147 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 4: This is just a blueprint, and look, these negotiations are hard. 148 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: As Speaker Johnson said, this process isn't a cake walk. 149 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: But the bottom line is that everyone has to get 150 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 4: in line and support President Trump's agenda because this is 151 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 4: the most America first, common sense agenda that we've seen. 152 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 4: And we want more spending to strengthen our military for 153 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: the purposes of national security. We want more funding to 154 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 4: secure our southern and northern borders. We can't afford to 155 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 4: lose more lives to violent trender Ragua gang members, or 156 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 4: to fendyl olv rddoses as a result of a northern 157 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 4: border that isn't secure. We need to reinvigorate the economy 158 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 4: by cutting taxes, helping small businesses. So passing this is 159 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 4: the Again, it's a blueprint. It's the first step in 160 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 4: preventing a four trillion dollar tax hike, which is what 161 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 4: the Democrats want. And we have to ensure that the 162 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 4: twenty seventeen tax cuts are extended because if they're not, 163 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 4: the average taxpayer Jake would experience would have to deal 164 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 4: with a twenty two percent tax hike, and that's the 165 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 4: case for ninety one percent of Americans. So the overwhelming majority. 166 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 4: So this is a critical part of President Trump's agenda. 167 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 4: Like I said, to preserve job growth, keep the economy 168 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 4: stimulated very much a part of this bigger economic plan 169 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 4: where tariffs are also a big part of this. This 170 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 4: is another part of this, right. So it's all very comprehensive, 171 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 4: and frankly, President Trump is correct here that the Republicans 172 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 4: who oppose this bill, like Massey the others who you 173 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 4: just said, should stop grandstanding because this is a budget resolution. 174 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: Right. 175 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: If the House passes it after the Senate already passed it, 176 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 4: it unlocks reconciliation, like I said, so there will be 177 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 4: that opportunity to add more spending cuts down the line. 178 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 4: I do believe President Trump absolutely wants to do that. 179 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: I don't see any reason for any Republican to be 180 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 4: opposing this right now, for anyone to be opposing it 181 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 4: right now. This is a first drap and President Trump, 182 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 4: as always, is engaged throughout this entire process. 183 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I have a warning for both Republicans 184 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: and Democrats who don't want to sten these tax cuts. 185 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: You can pretend that they were for millionaires and billionaires 186 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: all you want. The fact is the key part of 187 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen Trump tax cut tax plan was the 188 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: doubling of the standard deduction basically for blue collar America, 189 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: for people who don't itemize their taxes. This is something 190 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: that not only the Democrats don't talk about for obvious reasons. 191 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: They don't want to admit that President Trump was helping 192 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: the working men and women in this country. But it's 193 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: something that Republicans and even a lot of Trump supporters 194 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: don't talk about enough. If you are a Trump' sup 195 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: order or if you're just a supporter of the working 196 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: man and women in America, I don't really care who 197 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: you voted for. Please remember that the existing tax laws 198 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: under the Trump administration's first term double the standard deduction 199 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: for people who don't itemize their taxes. That's basically blue 200 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: collar America, that's basically middle America. The first successful trickle 201 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: up tax cut that the Democrats talked about a lot 202 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: and never delivered. If you vote against this, you are 203 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: really declaring war on working America. And I don't care 204 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat or Republican, a budget hawk or not. 205 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: Nicole is one more story I want to get to 206 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: because with all the all the hullabaloo about Tyrus this week, 207 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: people have forgotten that there was really an interesting development 208 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: in this whole transports argument. Look, Americans in every poll 209 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: don't overwhelmingly don't want boys in girls sports, don't want 210 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: boys in girls' locker rooms. But the governor of Maine, 211 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: Janet Mills, even though our own state is also very 212 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: much against this, is really doubling and tripling down on 213 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: her fight with President Trump over this. Remember, the Trump 214 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: administration wants to pull some funding from the state of 215 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: Maine until they do something to protect women in women's sports, 216 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: girls in girls sports instead of not. And not only 217 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: is she not listening to this, she's suing the Trump 218 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: administration over this. This is something that her own voters 219 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: don't want. Please help me out here, what is this insanity? 220 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: She's committing political suicide. 221 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 4: In my opinion, I think that's exactly right. And look, 222 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 4: President Trump understands signing this executive order to ban biological 223 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: men from women's sports. It isn't enough. There has to 224 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 4: be an enforcement mechanism. That's what this is. It's the 225 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 4: enforcement mechanism. Pulling federal funding is how to put pressure 226 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 4: on Maine to get this done. And the governor of 227 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 4: Maine suing the Trump administration over this will get nowhere because, frankly, 228 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 4: Janet Mills should be referred to the DOJ and prosecuted. 229 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 4: She's violating Title nine, she's violating the Family, Educational Rights 230 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 4: and Privacy Act, and several other laws. And she's doing 231 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 4: a horrible job representing the people of Maine. No surprise there. 232 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 4: There was a study recently done by the American Parents 233 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 4: Coalition and it found that sixty three percent of Maine 234 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 4: voters registered Maine voters said that school sports participation should 235 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 4: be based solely on biological sex, and sixty six percent 236 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 4: even higher said that women's sports is only for biological women. Now, 237 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 4: there was also a letter jake by fourteen Maine state 238 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 4: senators that was sent to President Trump. I believe that 239 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 4: was on Monday, and they condemned the governor for continuing 240 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 4: this lunacy. They're in touch with their constituents, and they 241 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: said in their letter that the people of Maine don't 242 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 4: support her radicalism clearly. So it's really important that state 243 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 4: governments comply, you know, expanding this beyond Maine, comply with 244 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 4: President Trump's executive order here and if you don't, you'll 245 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 4: get your federal funding pulled. And the Senate, by the way, 246 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 4: needs to pass the federal Senate needs to pass the 247 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 4: House passed legislation to protect women and girls, because that 248 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 4: bill failed in the Senate, which is reprehensible and disgusting. 249 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 4: There's no reason for that. So my point here is 250 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 4: there's still a lot of work to be done on 251 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 4: this very very critical issue. 252 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: All right, listen Okam's raiser for those whore trying to 253 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: figure this one out. Listen, Maine is a poor state. 254 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: They need every penny at federal funding that they get. 255 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: For the governor to be doing this, she's either being 256 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: pressured by the DNC and threatened or someone's paying her. 257 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: This is just Please, let's not try to pretend that 258 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: she has any kind of real moral interest in men 259 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: playing in girl sports. It's the dumbest thing. This is 260 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: suicide unless she's being three or someone's paying her off. 261 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: And this is true of all the Democrats in these 262 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: states who are doing this, and someday, hopefully someone will 263 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: get to the bottom of why they did this. All right, 264 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: Nicole Kiprolof, thank you so much for joining us. It's 265 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: only Thursday, but I'm gonna say happy weekend to you. 266 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 4: Thank you, Thanks Jake, have a great weekend. 267 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: All right? Coming up, just how far did Facebook's top 268 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: executives go to collude with the Chinese regime. You'll hear 269 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: the details from a key meta whistleblower in a few moments. 270 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: And first there are heroes and then there are hero rats. 271 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I'll explain why this critter is a real lifesaver for real. 272 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: When American Sunrise Early Edition continues, it's a live look 273 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: at the control room. Those guys like the low in 274 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: that control room, and they're ready to work every day. 275 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: And these are young gen Z guys who come to 276 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: work really early in the morning. There's hope for the 277 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: next generation. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm 278 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: Jake Novak again. A special welcome to those of you 279 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: watching and commenting on Getter and Rumble Hey. Every day 280 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: there's another excerpt released from that new book purporting to 281 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: be the real inside story of how the Democrats pushed 282 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden out of the twenty twenty four presidential race 283 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: and inserted Kamala Harris in his place. Every day they're 284 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: trying to high pipe this book. The latest Hues revelation 285 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: is that the Harris team was worried how Trump supporters 286 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: would react if Joe Biden died during the campaign after 287 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: Harris took over, So one of their brilliant ideas was 288 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: to get a list of all potential Republican judges who 289 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: would swear in Kamala Harris as president if Joe Biden 290 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: passed away. They thought that would plicate all the Trump supporters. 291 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: First of all, I can't think of almost any judge, 292 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat, who wouldn't swear in a vice president, 293 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: a sitting vice president when a president died, no matter 294 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: what their politics. I don't know what that would really 295 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: say to the American people or Trump supporters, that hey, 296 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: we got a Republican judge to swear in, big deal. 297 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: That's their duty, that's his or her duty. I really 298 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: I can't imagine almost any judge at any level who 299 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: would refuse to do that, no matter how much they 300 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: disliked Kamala Harris and her politics. So that's one thing. 301 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: And second, this continues to be This book is called 302 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: Fight by the way, I continue. I think it is 303 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: a tremendous whitewash of the group that did this whole 304 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: coup to get rid of Joe Biden. The first of all, 305 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: they're trying to whitewash Barack Obama and make it sound 306 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: like he was against it all along, because of course 307 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: she lost. I don't believe that for a second. And 308 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: this story doesn't really make that much sense to me either. 309 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Who cares what Judge swears in a new president? Nobody cares. 310 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: This is really a strange book. It sounds like a 311 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: lot of spin to me. Needless to say, I'm not 312 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: buying all right, Hey, are any of you noticing this 313 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: massive new interest in the Menendez brothers. These are the 314 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: two kids. They were kids back then who murdered their parents, 315 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: and again, this is something they were tried and convicted of. 316 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm really getting a little bit sick of it. I 317 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: understand that there was a moment when the previous DA 318 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: of La County Gascon said that he was thinking maybe 319 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: they would take a look at giving them a parole 320 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: because they are in prison for life without parole. So 321 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: I can understand that was a discussion, But that was 322 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: months ago that that district attorney said that, And he's 323 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: not the district attorney anymore. And I understand that there 324 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: was an interview with these two guys the TMZ got 325 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: and I think ABC News put it on or someone 326 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: else put it on during the week. Folks, don't fall 327 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: for this either. People who are in prison for life 328 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: love to get attention. That's all they can get at 329 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: this point. Sure it's possible they could get parole, but 330 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: it's very very thin chance. This was an egregious case. 331 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: These two brothers were found guilty beyond any shadow of 332 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: a doubt. Don't fall for it. If you see any 333 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: more publicity about this, just move on. There's a lot 334 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: of causes in America that are more important than the 335 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: Menendez brothers. That's all I can say. All right, now, 336 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: I have some good news for you. If this story 337 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: doesn't make you smile, then you are officially incapable of smiling. 338 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: See a doctor. If you have to meet Ronan. This 339 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: is Ronan the rat. Ronan is a rat who was 340 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: detected one hundred and nine land mines and fifteen items 341 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: of other unexploded ordnance since twenty twenty one. This is 342 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: a hard working rat. He is a valuable commodity in 343 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: his home country of Cambodia, one of the most heavily 344 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: mined countries in the world. They still have a lot 345 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: of active minds in that country. Ronan works with a 346 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: handler in the field, of course, you see, he's got 347 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: a little leash there. Rats like Roanan are trained to 348 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: sniff out chemicals and the explosives. Their hard work also 349 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: lets them cover distances at a quicker rate than a 350 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: human with a metal detector. So take that in New 351 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: York City, pizza rat, this is a rodent. We can 352 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: all get behind. Good job, Ronan, You've saved a lot 353 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 1: of lives. All right, Coming up, we'll check in on 354 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: Wall Street again. You know, hold your breath. It's not 355 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: going to be that pretty. And when we open I 356 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: guess not. It changes every minute. After that massive rally 357 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: that we had yesterday, I don't know if it's going 358 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: to continue today. After President Trump delayed his part announcement. 359 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 5: And. 360 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: A remarkable new lawsuit claims a major Palestinian businessman lauded 361 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: as a positive symbol for peace was really actually financing 362 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: Hamas all along. But can the plaintiff's wind American Sunrise 363 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: early edition is coming right back. Beautiful shot there of 364 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: Fort Myers, Florida. Beautiful day in Florida today, I assume 365 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: because I'm here in New York where it's yesterday it 366 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: was just freaking cold. We are not having an early 367 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: spring here in New York, although we did have sun, 368 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: so I'm not going to complain. Let's take a look 369 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: at where the markets will begin today. Hey, we're a 370 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: little bit better than we were just a few minutes ago. 371 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: We were almost seven hundred points down on the Dow futures. 372 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: Now we're at five fifty seven, going in the right direction. 373 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: For those of you who are along the market, I 374 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: know some of you watching are short the market, em 375 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: betting against it. For those of you who know that 376 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: little stock market move so, I don't want to say 377 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: it's bad for everyone or good for everyone whenever the 378 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: market moves one way or the other. But I'm just 379 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: noting that. And again, gold really really the standout right 380 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: now at thirty one thirty one is basically right back 381 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: to its all time high. For those of you who 382 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: really heavily put your money into gold in the last 383 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: couple of months, you're feeling pretty smart. Right now. We'll 384 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: look at bitcoin just really quickly, because bitcoin is back 385 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: in that eighty to eight to ninety thousand range that 386 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: has been stuck in, and it was stuck in even 387 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: before all the tarre tumult Bitcoin. I mean, I guess 388 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: that makes it a safe haven. I don't really know, 389 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: but it certainly is not crashing. It didn't lose fifteen 390 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: percent like the markets did before that big rally yesterday. 391 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: All Right, Facebook parent Meta whistleblower. There's a whistleblower at 392 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: that company. Her name is Sarah Wynn Williamson. She appeared 393 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: before a Senate hearing yesterday and she lobbed a lot 394 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: of serious accusations at Mark Zuckerberg, Cheryl Samberg and other 395 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: top executives. Here were some of those charges. Check it out. 396 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 6: Members of the Facebook executive team or other employees at 397 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 6: Facebook Meta ever brief members of the Chinese Communist. 398 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 5: Party, Yes, Senator, regularly. 399 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: Exchange information with them. 400 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 7: Yes, Senator, What are some of. 401 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: The topics that they covered in these briefings. 402 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 5: I mean, it's incredibly broad. So you had meetings at 403 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 5: the top executive level, so Mark and Cheryl and you 404 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 5: had meetings, you know, all the way down to you know, 405 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 5: regular engineers who would be providing briefings on cutting edge 406 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 5: technology like facial recognition, which is obviously very helpful to 407 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 5: the Chinese Communist Party. And you know Facebook Live, as 408 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 5: I mentioned, photo tagging, Internet infrastructure, sorry, like so how 409 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 5: to build effective data centers. So it was at at 410 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 5: every level, on every aspect of the many different technology 411 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 5: that Facebook has. 412 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 3: All right, now, I just. 413 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: Want everyone to take one note here, you know me, 414 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: I like to put a little bit of a doubt 415 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: on people who have new books out when Williamson has 416 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: some very detailed accusations. I'm not saying that she's not 417 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: telling the truth, but she's also selling a book right now, 418 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: and there's been some questions about some other accusations in 419 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: the book. So again, remember, however, she was once the 420 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: director of public policy at Facebook, so no one is 421 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: denying she was in a position to know that this 422 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: was going on. But again, her book is called Careless People, 423 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: and it's been the subject of some litigation overseas. So again, 424 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean everything she's saying is true. I know it's 425 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: pretty credible and she certainly was in the position to 426 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: know these things, but again, grain of salt. Okay, here 427 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: we go with what's become a necessary check on how 428 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: big the US auto company cosocks are doing, and we're 429 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: going to hit the road right now, all right. GM 430 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: and rose eight percent yesterday, and the Dow and it's 431 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: down now three percent in the pre market. I'm just 432 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: giving you a little bit of a check because again, 433 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: this is unfortunately I would really much rather talk about 434 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: these amazing machines we're looking to hear on the screen 435 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: by it caught talk stocks Ford also gained eight percent 436 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: yesterday but is now down four percent. A lot of 437 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: them are giving back a little bit or half sometimes 438 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: of what they gained yesterday. Stalantis was a huge winner yesterday. 439 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: They're the owners of Price or Jeep and Dodge. They 440 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: were up eighteen percent yesterday, but they're down eight percent 441 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: in the pre market. And Tesla, the biggest winner of 442 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: them all, was up twenty three percent yesterday, down only 443 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: four percent today, so they're only giving back a fraction 444 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: of what they made yesterday, all right. More car buyers 445 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: are using seven year car loans to finance new vehicles 446 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: in the first quarter than ever before in America in history. 447 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: Dave Ramsey, the budget guy, he calls us a car mortgage, 448 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: So do I that's rough seven year car loan? Yikes. 449 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: But this is because of rising prices. The average transaction 450 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: price of a new vehicle in America forty seven thousand dollars, 451 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: more than forty seven thousand dollars in March. This is 452 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: why people are doing this. But again, seven years on 453 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: a car loan. If you have a seven year car loan, 454 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: there's a very good chance you will be underwater on 455 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: the loan very soon. That's when you owe more on 456 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: the car than it's worth, if you resold it back 457 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: to a dealer or even on Amazon or something. This 458 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: is a rough situation for America. Got to figure out 459 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: how to deal with this, all right. Next story. Here 460 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: are some good news stories though that I want to 461 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: tell you about. The number of deaths in car accidents 462 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 1: fell last year to the lowest level since twenty nineteen. 463 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: About thirty nine three hundred people died in vehicle incidents 464 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: in the US last year. Again, that's the lowest in 465 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: about six years. It's not yet clear why exactly the 466 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: numbers went down, because driving numbers were up last year. 467 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: But this is obviously a good thing. All right. Maybe 468 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: you've seen one of these trucks on the road and 469 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: wondered what was up. They're called squatted trucks. This is 470 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: when or Carolina squad, so that's the one. The truck 471 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: is modified to have a lifted front end and a 472 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: lowered rear end. It's called a lean back or something 473 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: like that. It's all for show. There's actually no real 474 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: functional use to this. This is just kind of a thing. 475 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: I guess well. State troopers and don't like these trucks. 476 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: They think they're not safe, and they're probably right. Arkansas 477 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: law is now banning squatted vehicles with bumper height differences 478 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: over four inches. Offenders face fines them up with to 479 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. They could get their license suspended. I 480 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: know it's the fun police, but let me know, on Getter, 481 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: if there's a good reason to have a squattered truck 482 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: that I don't know about, let me know and getter 483 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: and rumble, because I am not an expert on squadded trucks. 484 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: All right. Getting to another story now that's interesting about 485 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: American finances and the law. A man named Bosch Masri 486 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: is often hailed as the solution to the problems facing 487 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: the people of Gaza and the West Bank. He was 488 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: even featured on sixty Minutes in twenty nineteen as an 489 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: investor who wanted to redevelop Palestinian areas with amazing real 490 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: estate projects. But a new lawsuit filed by some of 491 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: the victims and the families of the victims of October seventh, 492 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: the terrorist attacks, say that Masri was really financing comas 493 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: infrastructure all along. But can that lawsuit really win? Joining 494 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: me now to talk about this extraordinary lawsuit is former 495 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 1: federal prosecutor Mitchell Epner. Mitchell, this seems like a unique 496 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: case to me as an amateur, because it's not going 497 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: after a state actor. It's going after an individual connected 498 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: to terrorism in a private lawsit in a civil lawsity. 499 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: So is this unusual to you or and do you 500 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: think it has any chance of succeeding? 501 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 6: So there is a law that allows Americans who are 502 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 6: the victims of terrorist attacks to bring lawsuits. Ordinarily, the 503 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 6: big bar against those is that the defendants are often 504 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 6: either state actors or foreign people, so it's hard to 505 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 6: establish jurisdiction over them. Not going to use a whole 506 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 6: bunch of acronyms now, but ordinarily hard. This individual, this defendant, 507 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 6: is a US citizen and he is clearly here. So 508 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 6: then the question isn't about the procedure. It's about the 509 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 6: merits of the lawsuit. This lawsuit complaint is is one 510 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 6: hundred and eighty seven pages. It is literally over one 511 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 6: one hundred paragraphs long. Most of it appears to have 512 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 6: been taken from various governmental investigations of the October seventh attacks. 513 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 6: I would say it is if you wanted to read 514 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 6: about what Israel did wrong in making itself vulnerable to 515 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 6: the October seventh attacks, this is a very good encapsulation 516 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 6: of it. There's much less in it about what Masri did, 517 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 6: but what he allegedly did could potentially lead to liability. 518 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: All right, you mentioned the state actors, and so I 519 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: want to talk about collections here for a second, because 520 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: we know that there have been lawsuits in the past. 521 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: I remember Iron was successfully sued by some victims of 522 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: terror here in the United States after bus bombings back 523 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: in the nineties, and I know that they won those cases. 524 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the Alyssa Flato case if you remember 525 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: that one. But I don't think they actually ever get 526 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: the money. That's not really the point here. What's your 527 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: impression or do you think they really are expecting to 528 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: get some money if they win the case or they're 529 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: maybe just trying to make a point. 530 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:15,479 Speaker 3: I have no idea. 531 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 6: I do know that Wilkie Foreign Gallagher is a serious 532 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 6: law firm. The attorney, Lee Lee Wolowski, is a very 533 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 6: serious person who's been in and out of government under 534 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 6: mostly democratic administrations dealing with foreign policy issues. Wilki Farr 535 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 6: hasn't said whether they've taken this case pro bono or not. 536 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 6: And the defendant is somebody with a lot of funds 537 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 6: who's a US person, So it is theoretically much easier 538 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 6: to get that money than to try to collect a 539 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 6: judgment against the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. 540 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: All Right, A last question, because this also reminds me 541 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: of a case in the late nineties against the so 542 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: called Holy Land Foundation. This was a charity supposed to 543 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: charity that the US government found out this was under 544 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: the Bush administration, was really a front for Hamas and 545 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: people went to jail over this. If this lawsuit is successful, 546 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: any chance that someone like Masri could go to jail 547 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: over this or is this really just going to stay 548 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: in the civil courts? 549 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 6: This reads to me like a civil complaint to boil 550 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 6: down what the complaint says that Masri and his companies 551 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 6: did wrong. What he allegedly did wrong was he allowed 552 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 6: Hamas to build its tunnel network in and through the 553 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 6: industrial park that he built near the Israeli border. And 554 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 6: there's no doubt that it was a real industrial park. 555 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 6: And in the wake of the Israeli invasion of Daza, 556 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 6: they appear to have discovered that the tunnel network which 557 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 6: was used by Hama in order to launch the October 558 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 6: seventh attacks by tunneling under and through into Israel and 559 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 6: then breaching the wall that went through this industrial park. 560 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: And that. 561 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 6: Is something that seems to me to be a plausible 562 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 6: argument for civil liability. I cannot imagine it being a 563 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 6: basis for criminal liability. 564 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: All right, well, let's see how that works out. Interesting take. 565 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: This is going to be a case that a lot 566 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: of people are going to watch, that's for sure, all right, 567 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: mitche Epner, former federal prosecutor, thank you so much for 568 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: joining us. All right, coming on, the Trump tariff saga 569 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: is twisting and turning again. We got a historic rally 570 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: and that was the latest twist yesterday. But you know, 571 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: twists are more of than a common American sunrise early edition. 572 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: Will be right, back. It's Thursday, April tenth. Here are 573 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: some of this morning's top story. President Trump puts in 574 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: a ninety day pause on the tariffs, and Wall Street 575 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: responds with its biggest gains in years. Will the gains 576 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: hold when the market opens today? The back in session 577 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: House hands President Trump a victory with a vote to 578 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: advance his big budget bill to a final vote, but 579 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: it's not at all clear if it will pass in 580 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: the end. Two more so called elite universities are facing 581 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: the possible loss of hundreds of millions of dollars maybe 582 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: billions worth of federal funding. This time, the Trump administration 583 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: is looking into Cornell and Northwestern and how they handled 584 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: anti Semitic incidents on their campuses masquerading as anti Israel protests. 585 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: And breaking news, President Trump has secured the release of 586 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: Russian American ballerina Casina Carolina, who had been held unlawfully 587 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: in Russia after she gave a fifty two dollars donation 588 00:31:54,280 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: to Ukraine. American Sunrise early edition continues. Now, Hey everyone, 589 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: the IRS is the largest collection agency in the world, 590 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: and with April fifteenth fast approaching, it's more aggressive than ever. 591 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, enforcement has actually ramped up, and 592 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: if you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, waiting 593 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: is not an option. The longer you do, the worse 594 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: it gets. Ignoring your tax troubles is the worst thing 595 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: you can do. April fifteenth marks another tax year that 596 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: has passed you by. Getting ahead of this now is 597 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: the smart move.

I'm Jake 614 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: Novak again. Thank you for watching on Getter and commenting 615 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,479 Speaker 1: on Getter and Rumble. Joining me now is Jared Stepman. 616 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: He's a columnist at the Daily Signal. And Jarrett, let's 617 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: take a look at where the markets are going to 618 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: open today, because you know it was great yesterday twenty 619 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: nine hundred point rally on the Dow. Wow, But the 620 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: last time we check, we were looking at more than 621 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: a five hundred point loss in the down There we 622 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: are again, bright spots are gold, and I consider it 623 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: as a gasoline consumer, a bright spot that crude oil 624 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 1: is down. Hey, Jared, look, it's been twisting and turning. 625 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: We've definitely had a major reaction on Wall Street. But 626 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: what's your take on how mainStreet feels about it. I 627 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: know there's some poles saying that there's some concern about 628 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: the way President Trump's handling the tariffs, But I'm not 629 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: really seeing people out in the streets with pitchforks and 630 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: torches yet, are you. 631 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 3: Yeah. 632 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 8: I don't think it's quite like how it has been 633 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 8: on social media in the last few weeks, which is 634 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 8: NonStop hysteria. It's pandemonium. I think a lot of people 635 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 8: are willing to let President Trump cook, so to speak. 636 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 8: Of course, the majority of Americans voted him in office. 637 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 8: They're willing to let him carry through on a lot 638 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 8: of his campaign promises. I think a lot of Americans 639 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 8: are not so concerned about teriffs, especially moderate tariffs that 640 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 8: are coming down as many of those who are commenting 641 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 8: on social media. I think that many people think that 642 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 8: there needs to be a serious readjustment in trade, especially 643 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 8: in how we deal with communist China. 644 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 3: That things have gone on too long the. 645 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 8: Way they are and allowed China to rise and to 646 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 8: cause a lot of mischief in the world. The coupling 647 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 8: between the United States and a communist regime has ultimately 648 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 8: been bad for Americans across the board, especially American workers. 649 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 8: So I think that on main stream I think the 650 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 8: add to is just let Trump continue to negotiate, let 651 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 8: him continue to be involved in this, and let's have 652 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 8: a serious restructuring and how we do trade internationally. 653 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I likely just said a hat to bet. 654 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: It's been bad for the American people, not just the 655 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,959 Speaker 1: workers who lost their jobs. I'm not so sure that 656 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: our addiction to Chinese goods has been a good thing 657 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: for America, not from a health standpoint, not from a 658 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 1: consumer standpoint. There's a lot of stuff that's been written 659 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 1: about that over the years. It used to be nonpartisan, 660 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: but of course now with Trump and the tariffs, anything 661 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: that you say bad about China means that you're a 662 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: Trump supporter. It's really ridiculous, But this is something we 663 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: should talk about. Jared. This Facebook whistleblower story, I talked 664 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: about it in the last half hour yesterday. It was 665 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: pretty damning. You have this woman named Sarah Wynn Williamson, 666 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: she used to be the public affairs chief at Facebook's 667 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: saying that people like Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg not only 668 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 1: we're getting cozy with the Chinese communist officials, but may 669 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: have even shared some AI technology that Facebook has, may 670 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 1: have even shared some other real proprietary technology. And there 671 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: are people now saying that this isn't just an issue 672 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: of oh we should be angry at Facebook. Maybe some 673 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: people should be charged criminally. What's your take on this? 674 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: Do you do you trust what she had to say, 675 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: by the. 676 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 8: Way, Yeah, I mean I have to say this doesn't 677 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 8: surprise me at all, especially in terms of Meta or 678 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 8: Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg. I think that Zuckerberg, who's tried 679 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 8: to sort of reposition himself as a champion of free speech, 680 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 8: I frankly don't buy it. I think he sees the 681 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 8: way that the wins are shifting. This is how he's 682 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 8: been throughout his career and throughout his time at the. 683 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 3: Head of Facebook. 684 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 8: It is very interesting, especially in terms of the China issue, 685 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 8: how a lot of American companies, instead of bringing freedom 686 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 8: and liberty to China, have actually brought back tools of 687 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 8: tyranny back here to the United States. Have basically adopted 688 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 8: the Chinese censorship regime while also selling out US national 689 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 8: interests and. 690 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 3: Betraying the American people. 691 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 8: I mean, that's really the horrifying outlook aspect of all this. 692 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 8: It kind of goes to that the terrorifists and the trade, 693 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 8: as you were talking before, is what has our relationship 694 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 8: with China. 695 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 3: Rod. 696 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 8: It's brought a lot of companies that have been willing 697 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 8: to work with Beijing to sell out the US technological 698 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 8: superiority in many cases and have allowed China to rise 699 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 8: and catch up to the United States, while they have 700 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 8: not at all embraced anything like American style freedom. If anything, 701 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 8: things are getting worse in the free world because of it, 702 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 8: and I think that is the major concern. I do 703 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 8: believe a lot of her testimony. I think Meta has 704 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 8: a lot to answer for. I think that these hearings 705 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,760 Speaker 8: should continue, including Zuckerberg. Again, I don't think his sudden, 706 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 8: you know, coming to Jesus moment. 707 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 3: I don't buy it. 708 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 8: I think he's doing it because the political winds have shifted. 709 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too. And you know, you mentioned something 710 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: really important in that last answer. We were told, both 711 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats told the American people for years that 712 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: allowing China to have this equal level and preferred nation 713 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 1: status as trade with US would lift all boats. In 714 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: other words, the Chinese government and the Chinese people would 715 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: see how free we are here in the West and 716 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: in the United States, and they would eventually democratize, They 717 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: would really modernize. The would get pressure from their own 718 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: people who suddenly had their eyes open to how great 719 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: and free we are here in the United States. But 720 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: the opposite happened. The companies that dealt with them looked 721 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: at the Chinese repressive, repressive regime and said he and 722 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: the politicians and said, hey, that looks cool. I wish 723 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: we could repress people in our country like that. Awesome. 724 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: Instead of them learning from us, we seem to have 725 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: learned from them. And there are a lot of people 726 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: who need to be held accountable by that. Maybe not 727 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: here on earth, because I don't if we're going to 728 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: get all the names and we're able to prosecute them all, 729 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: but maybe in the next life they will have a 730 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: reckoning for this. All right, Jared, you have a piece 731 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: right now in the Daily Signal about how Republicans in 732 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: Congress are trying to deal with these judges who just 733 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: refused to interpret the Constance. I know there's another term 734 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: for them, people call them active as judges, but I 735 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: think that really confuses people. Let me just make this 736 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: more clear. These are judges who refuse to interpret the 737 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: Constitution literally as everyone can see what it is. So 738 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: what's their plan? What did you find out in that piece? 739 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 8: Yeah, and these judges are basically it's one man ruling 740 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 8: over the United States, is what these injunctions have become. 741 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 8: I mean, they've become a real problem. In the American system. 742 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 8: And I think that what they're incurring the wrath of 743 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 8: now the political branches that of course the White House 744 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,280 Speaker 8: is not happy with these nationwide injunctions. 745 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 3: Congress is now getting involved. 746 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 8: The House just passed legislation to try to curb this practice. 747 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 8: I think it's very important that the Supreme Court also 748 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 8: start to curb these practices. They have sort of started 749 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 8: to do that. They've they've now swanted down several decisions 750 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 8: from these district judges. But they really are taking the 751 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 8: law into their own hands. I mean, this is they're 752 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 8: delivering wins for the left, but they're destroying I think 753 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 8: confidence in the courts and the courts. I mean, their 754 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 8: entire thing is that they have to rely on their 755 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 8: reputation with the American people. They don't have power like 756 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 8: Congress or like the Presidency. They're sort of doing a 757 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 8: verse Marberie versus Madison right now. They're now alienating people 758 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 8: across the board and these decisions that are not constitutional, 759 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 8: and they're still going to find themselves, I think, on 760 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 8: an island with no navy and their enemies all around them, 761 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 8: and I think that's destructive of the courts, destructive of 762 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 8: the proper place of the courts. I do hope Congress 763 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 8: continues to be involved with this, of course, you know, 764 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 8: we always hope Congress is going to do something. 765 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 3: They don't seem to do anything. 766 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 8: But these nationwide injunctions are destructive to the republic. It's 767 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 8: undermining our constitutional system. Something action needs to be taken 768 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 8: on this, because one judge can't decide the laws for 769 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 8: the entire country. 770 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 3: That's not how our system was designed. 771 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, it's a case of the it's not 772 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: mob justice. We absolutely want judges who aren't necessarily looking 773 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: at the polls every day. But when you have the 774 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: American people who forever have wanted a secure border and 775 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: don't want illegal aliens who commit additional crime in this 776 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 1: country to get the same kind of due process that 777 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: citizens have, this is something that eighty ninety percent of 778 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: the American people have wanted for a long time. It's 779 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: not spur of the moment, it's not mob justice, and 780 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: of course it's in the Constitution as well. There is nothing, 781 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 1: nothing laudable about what these judges are doing stopping law 782 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,720 Speaker 1: and order and reasonable law and order in this country. 783 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: Jared Stepman, I know it's only Thursday. But thank you 784 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: for joining us, and have a good weekend. 785 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 3: Thank you too, Jake. 786 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: All right, coming up, David Brody is going to join us, 787 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about a very interesting new 788 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: visa requirement from the Trump administration. Bigots and haters better 789 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: be ready to have their visa applications denied or they 790 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: already are here to get deported. 791 00:41:40,800 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 7: That's next. 792 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: Houston, Texas. And look at that traffic already there in Houston. 793 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: I guess that's going into the city. Houston is a major, 794 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: major city in America, as you all know. But good 795 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,479 Speaker 1: luck trying to get some news out of that town. 796 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: That's how I get my news. By the way, I 797 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: like to go to the city's first and to move up. 798 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: The Houston Chronicle has become a restaurant circular. If you 799 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: don't believe me, check it out online. About ninety percent 800 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: of its coverage is pay to play ads basically that 801 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: look like articles about new restaurants in Houston. This is 802 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: one of America's major city, obviously a major oil city, 803 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: and you can't get news out of it. Somebody please 804 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: fix the news media. Welcome back, listen. There's a new 805 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: visa requirement now under the Trump administration, and the visa 806 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 1: requirement is stop being an ancient, old fashioned, horrible Jew hater. 807 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: This is a really interesting development. And the Trump administration 808 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: announcing yesterday that they're going to look at the social 809 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 1: media of people who are applying for visas in this 810 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: country and for some people who already are here on 811 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: visas to see if there's been a lot of anti 812 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: Semitic content. Good choice. I'm sorry to say this, but 813 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: anti Semites are a really good canary in the coal 814 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: mine for other problems. You want to find out if 815 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 1: someone who's going to become a problem in the country 816 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: cause mayhem, commit murder, vandalism, violence, if they're an anti 817 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: Semite openly, there's a good chance they're doing all three. 818 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 1: David Brody joining me here. You know, one of the 819 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: things I want to talk about here is that there 820 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: are still a decent number of people in this country 821 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: who have been misled into thinking that Donald Trump is 822 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: somehow encouraging anti Semites. I mean, I don't know what 823 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: this guy has to do to disabuse people of that 824 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: incredible nonsense. He's been an incredible ally in the war 825 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,879 Speaker 1: against anti Semitism. Maybe, David, maybe this will change their mind. 826 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:40,319 Speaker 1: I don't know. 827 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, the anti Semite who's cracking down on anti Semitism. 828 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 9: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the logic of the left. 829 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,240 Speaker 9: And this happens all the time. Oh, it just happens 830 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 9: to be the most popular president in Israel or the 831 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 9: US president in Israel modern day history, for sure, or 832 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 9: probably of all time, though I'd have to kind of 833 00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 9: think about that for a second. 834 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: But no doubt about it. Look, Jake, here's the thing. 835 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 9: If you're if you're an a legal alien in this country. Here, 836 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 9: here's a little pro tip for you, a little little 837 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 9: pro tip for you. Maybe you should kind of fly 838 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 9: under the radar. 839 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 1: Maybe you shouldn't be up on social media. 840 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 9: Oh, I don't know, not just bashing Israel, but calling 841 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 9: for the end of Israel's existence and spewing your anti submitticate. 842 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: Just the thought, Jake, just the thought, you know. 843 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 9: So it's their own problem, for sure. It kind of 844 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 9: gets to a larger issue of do illegal immigrants have 845 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 9: free speech rights in this country? Well, of course we 846 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,439 Speaker 9: would think the answer would be no, but legally it's 847 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 9: a bit more murky. And this is the type of 848 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 9: stuff that could eventually go to the Supreme Court. I'm 849 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 9: not sure exactly who how it would work and who 850 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 9: would have standing and then get into form shopping and 851 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,800 Speaker 9: all of that. But the bottom line is is that 852 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 9: that's kind of like a larger issue of this. But look, 853 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 9: bottom line is anti Semitism. Uh yeah, I think you 854 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 9: make a good point that that is the barometer, that 855 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 9: that is the that is the bottom line to all 856 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 9: of this. Well, let me just say one last thing 857 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 9: in terms of the vetting aspect of just overall with DHS, 858 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 9: the biometrics issue, excuse me, biometrics is a real issue. 859 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 9: You know, their vetting process is pretty weak. And I 860 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,839 Speaker 9: say they, I'm not talking about the Trump administration. I'm 861 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 9: just talking about overall vetting has been pretty weak by 862 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 9: DHS for a very long time. The Trump administration, with 863 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,760 Speaker 9: that executive order in January twentieth. 864 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: Is trying to shore that up. 865 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 9: They're trying to get in essence, not just a fingerprints, 866 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 9: but more biometric data like you know, voice and palm 867 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 9: and you know that type of thing to really be 868 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 9: able to crack down and see a little bit more 869 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 9: details about these people and go back into their history. 870 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:46,879 Speaker 9: So there's that too. 871 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, we're also talking about people on 872 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: student visas, not just illegal alien If you have a 873 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,720 Speaker 1: student you're looking for a student visa and you're thirty 874 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 1: years old and you're you're going and you're living in 875 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: student housing and you have this history and your other 876 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of trees that you came from of being an 877 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,279 Speaker 1: anti semi Look, this is again, this is not just 878 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 1: talking about the Jewish community in the United States. I 879 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: hope people don't think that this is what's happened in Europe. 880 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: They have literally imported the oldest hatred in Europe. I 881 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: have to highly recommend a guy named Pat Condell con 882 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 1: d Ell. He has an x account. At least for now, 883 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 1: he's been an amazing outspoken person about this. In twenty eighteen, 884 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: he put out a video explaining that Europe was importing 885 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: He's from Britain, that Europe was importing the biggest haters 886 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: because they were anti Semis and he knew that they 887 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 1: would also cause other problems in Europe. And of course 888 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,399 Speaker 1: he was right about that. David, You've got a big 889 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: show coming up.

Just kidding. 892 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,240 Speaker 9: It's not New Jersey. It's somewhere overseas. We're looking forward 893 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 9: to that. I don't recommend vacation in Jersey, though, I 894 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 9: grew up in Jersey, and I'm sorry. Now everybody in 895 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 9: Jersey hates me. 896 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: All right, Jake, back to you. We'll see it.
