1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: The head on an American Sunrise early edition. We got a

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: new bill, but we didn't get a deal. The first

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: vote on a much slimmed down budget bill failed, and

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: that means we could see a government shut down as

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: early as tonight. All the poorly hidden secrets are out

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: now detailing how the White House covered up Joe Biden's

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: inability to be a functioning president from day one. But

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: now that everyone knows there is no real president, how

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: can a budget deal get done? The budget bill is vetoed,

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: who's vetoing it? And if someone else is making these decisions,

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: isn't that a coup? Considering Biden's mental state, it's fair

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: to ask who was put in these names in front

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: of him to rubber stamp pardons and clemencies. And this

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: is just an underhanded way to effectively end the death

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: penalty in America with no real debate.

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Now there are.

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: Federal charges and more evidence of long term murder planning

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: against alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione. And while Mangione me

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: may be mentally ill, the evidence of a coherent pre

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: planning will make it harder to claim an insanity defense,

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: And there is at least one US ally who does

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: the dirty work against a common enemy Israel pounds UTI

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: targets and Yemen, including missile launching sites that have been

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: used against Israeli civilians and US troops. The beginning of

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: the end of the Houties seems to be underway. American

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Sunrise Early Edition is underway right now.

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom,

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: and the values that built this nation takes centers.

29
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: To your good, thieves and bad des That's how we're

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: gonna judge you. Join host Jake Novak as he breaks

31
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: down the stories that matter.

32
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: We will be letting the public know regularly what we.

33
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: Have found American Sunrise this year with your host Jake Novak,

34
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: starts now.

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak.

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: It's no Tie Friday, and I know before we get

37
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: into all the doom and gloom about a potential shutdown

38
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: and all the nervousness, remember it's still Friday.

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: Chrisis is still coming, Konica is still coming.

40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Okay, just want to make sure everyone knows I'm not

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: trying to scare you here, all right. Were you expecting

42
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: to wake up this morning to news that a budget

43
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: deal had been struck in Washington.

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: Sorry, no dice.

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: The Republicans did present a much more sane spending bill

46
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: that President Trump strongly endorsed yesterday, but it simply didn't

47
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: have the votes. Let's talk about it with Republican strategists

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: Vanessa Simon, Vanessa, are you in shutdown hysteria mode? Something

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: tells me you are not in shutdown to sterio mode.

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: I am not.

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: I'm not in shutdown hysteria mode. And you know what, like,

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 4: I'm a fan. I don't know if you saw Elon's

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: tweet yesterday or the day before. He was just like, listen,

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: if we don't reach a deal in two years, we

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: got to vote these people out. And I'm here for it.

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 4: You know, you have Soros that dumped one hundred and

57
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: eighty million dollars in local races. Like we have to

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: make our elected officials realize that they work for we

59
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 4: the people. We gotta make them sweat and make them

60
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 4: understand that it's important to reach a decision that really

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: makes sense, common sense for the average American, everyday person

62
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: that's working hard. So I really do hope that we

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: do reach a deal. But having that pressure come coming

64
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: from like heavy hitters like Elon to be like, you

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: know what, if we cannot work in a coherent manner

66
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: in two years, you got you gotta earn your seat

67
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: again because we the people are watching and we deserve

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: a better America.

69
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you use the term we the people

70
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: a lot, because let's nip this democrat talking point, this

71
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: regime news media talking point in the bud right now.

72
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: You hear all them saying, oh, we're just listening. We're

73
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: all just a bunch of robots listening to what Elon

74
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Musk says. There are people watching this program right now

75
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: who have been pounding the table to get rid of

76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: these continuing resolution emotional blackmail bills for four decades, including me.

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: The idea that Elon Musk said it two days ago

78
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: and suddenly I came up with this idea is an insult,

79
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: it's a lie, and it's also indicative of another thing.

80
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: These democrats don't even know the people of the United States.

81
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Anyone who's even talked to someone in a restaurant, at

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: a coffee shop, I think for the last forty years,

83
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: would have heard at least one of them say, Hey,

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: this spending is ridiculous. I just want to get relief

85
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: for a hurricane or for our national defense, and they

86
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: throw in all these other things. I mean, who hasn't

87
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: heard that? And I think the answer is a Democrats.

88
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: They don't talk to real people. This is we the people,

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: and let's knit that in the bud Right.

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: Vanessa, absolutely, I think this election, if anything, signified being

91
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: as being a catalyst for America in the sense that

92
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 4: we are paying attention. We no longer are feeding into

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: what the left, the media Democrats are trying to kind

94
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: of paint the narrative for us. You know, we're in

95
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: a period of time where people are starting to look

96
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: what's under the rug, what's hidden in the closet. And

97
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: I really do shout out patriots like Joe Rogan who

98
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: are independent media, willing to go out there share news,

99
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 4: and that's what is starting to wake up a lot

100
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 4: of citizens' platforms like his, where it's like, you know,

101
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: we don't have to just take the sound bites that

102
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: are being cycled through the same media outlets over and

103
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 4: over again. We the people are waking up and it's

104
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: so needed, it's so refreshing. And because of that, having

105
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 4: these overloaded bills that are just not making any sense.

106
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: They become so oversaturated that you miss the point of

107
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 4: why we're putting these bills forward.

108
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: To begin with, Vanessa, I'd say we're moving on to

109
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: another story, But I think this next issue is connected

110
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: to the budget chaos in DC right now. As you know,

111
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal published vivid details about Joe Biden's

112
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: mental incapacities while in office from day one, not just

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: recently day one.

114
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: Now the Journal was in Bolden to publish that.

115
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Article thanks to someone else, and we'll talk about that

116
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: in a few minutes on this program. But Vanessa, not

117
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: having a president to guide any bargaining position on the

118
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: budget for the Democrats, I think is a big problem.

119
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: Even so some of them are brushing it off. I mean,

120
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: it's obvious that this is a huge part of the problem.

121
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 3: I mean it's gone without say.

122
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: I think that's where we've watched his I mean, I

123
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: call it elder abuse at this point, his mental capacity.

124
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 4: We haven't had a leader who's been leading the country

125
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 4: at all, and we saw that come to a head

126
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: when we had the first debate versus President Trump. And

127
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 4: it's alarming that our country was even considering putting him

128
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 4: up for a re election. His mental state has been

129
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 4: a concern, and that's why I call it the elder abuse.

130
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: It's not right conservative Republican jargon. It's like, we have

131
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: an older person who is feeble and you could see

132
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: mentally incapacitated at times, but he's running the greatest country

133
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: on earth, and that is a very concerning.

134
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about another form of mental incapacity, Vanessa.

135
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: The case against Luigi Mangeon right there in New York. Well,

136
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: we're both in New York for allegedly killing United Healthcare

137
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: CEO Brian Thompson.

138
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: I think it's getting darker.

139
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: It turns out investigators say Mangione had a notebook with

140
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: details on how we plan to kill Thompson. Now, the

141
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: notebook also shows signs of a very clear mental illness here, Vanessa.

142
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: I can understand leftist radicals cheering on a violent leader.

143
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't love it, but I understand why they do this.

144
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: But this is this the man they're idolizing. I mean,

145
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: for real, this is a mentally ill person. I don't

146
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: understand why you cheer somebody like this.

147
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm just as baffled all over social media yesterday

148
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: they were hailing Luigi and I'm like, this is where

149
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: we are as a country. Someone It's almost like they're

150
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: treating him like a martyr. And I don't understand why

151
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: everyone is pro what Manngionia has done because of the

152
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 4: fact that it doesn't solve the bigger issue. Yes, it

153
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: provides a massive spotlight, but I think in the ways

154
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: where it's not the message we should be sending or

155
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: responding to. I mean, I think it was last week

156
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: you see several posts wanted posters for top level executives

157
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 4: in health, in the healthcare industry, for others, kind of

158
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 4: cheering on behavior like this, and I think we have

159
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 4: a bigger issue here in our country. But I am

160
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 4: just as baffled as you are. I don't understand why

161
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 4: so much fame and attention for Luigi in this way

162
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: where he killed one man is part of a much

163
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: larger system, and I think that's headed in the wrong

164
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: wrong direction altogether.

165
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: I think America is cheering on mental illness. Now, listen.

166
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: I want to have passion and better care for people

167
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: who are dealing with these problems.

168
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: Cheering them on is absolutely frightening. Vanessa.

169
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: I've been calling the number of massive pardons, those massive

170
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: numbers of pardons and clemencies from the Biden White House.

171
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: I've been calling it nothing short of a national emergency.

172
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: There's no political reasoning behind some of these clemencies, like

173
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: the cash for Kids judge, or the doctor who deluded

174
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: her own cancer patients drugs. All signs point to financial

175
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: considerations at a motive.

176
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: But now we see something else.

177
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: We see some radicals who are seeing an opportunity with

178
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: these pardons to do something even worse. Some are now

179
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: calling on Joe Biden to pardon every single person on

180
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: federal death row just as a protest against the death penalty.

181
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: There's some serious monsters on death row right now. That

182
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: would be the same death penalty that I argued that

183
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: we need sadly in this Newsweek editorial column this week.

184
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: And thankfully, the death penalty is still supported by a

185
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: clear majority of Americans. That number really hasn't changed all

186
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: that much. It's gone up or down just a little bit.

187
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: But Vanessa, I am now worried about an all out

188
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: jail break right now because they want to make a

189
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: point about the death penalty without ever having to debate.

190
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: You ever, notice they don't debate us on the death penalty.

191
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: They just try underhanded stuff like this. And I'm worried

192
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: there's some terrorists on that death row.

193
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 3: Jake, I'm just as worried.

194
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 4: January twentieth can't come soon enough, and this runway to

195
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: January twentieth. It's like, how much more can President Biden

196
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: in his current administration try to unravel and derail until

197
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: we get there? And it's very very concerning. His pardons

198
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: are in the hundreds. It surpasses any prior president. It's

199
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: almost like, why are you scrambling to free all these

200
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: and then you're talking about death row just because you're

201
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 4: trying to send a message.

202
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: This goes back to what you were saying prior.

203
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 4: About his overall mental state and how those around him

204
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 4: are taking advantage of him. And it's like, where where

205
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 4: will our reprieve come prior to January twentieth? And I

206
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 4: really do that that's not the direction. I hope that

207
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: that is not the direction we're headed in, because we

208
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 4: cannot have these criminals taken off death row.

209
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: Venessa, I want to just get your America first take

210
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: on this next story. We've heard President Trump talk for

211
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: years about how our European allies don't fight for their

212
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: own security and don't even pay their fair share to NATO.

213
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: But at least we have one ally who pays. It's

214
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: the majority of their GDPECE adlete who pays and fights

215
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: for itself and US interests.

216
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: That would be Israel.

217
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: And the Israelis just hit some Huti missile sites in

218
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: Yemen just this week, and those were some of those

219
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: missile sites that had been used to attack shipping all

220
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: over the world and more importantly US troops and Vanessa.

221
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: Maybe the US doesn't have to do this all by

222
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: itself after all.

223
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: Right, absolutely not.

224
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: That's why we support Israel the way that we do

225
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: and back then because look at how they are defending

226
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 4: themselves and really carrying out what their due diligence even

227
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 4: around NATO. Right, it's crazy that it is them who

228
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 4: is fighting for their own sovereignty and setting the example

229
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: ultimately on the global stage.

230
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: I think it's admirable.

231
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: I think that's the reason why we stand behind Israel

232
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 4: impact them unapologetically. But President Trump called it out like

233
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: that is so true. No one else is defending themselves

234
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: and we no longer should be the ones that are

235
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: stepping and fighting for them while it costs US hundred

236
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 4: hundreds of billions of dollars and it ultimately hurts America.

237
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it also embarrasses Europe.

238
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of this has to do with

239
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: Israel doing stuff that the European leaders are too impotent

240
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: to do, and they're embarrassed about it. Vanessa Sigmon, thanks

241
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: for joining us, having Mary Christis. You may be joining

242
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: us a little bit later. I'll let you know that's

243
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: what happens on TV. But thank you so much for

244
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: joining us.

245
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 2: And thanks for having me. Merry Christmas, everyone, coming up,

246
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: thank you, coming up.

247
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: I just told you about that Wall Street Journal expose

248
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: on the White House cover up of Joe Biden's mental state.

249
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: But next you'll hear from the.

250
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Man who kind of made publishing that story possible, even

251
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: though he doesn't work at the Wall Street Journal. I'm

252
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: talking about James O'Keefe, and later, what can President Trump

253
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: do to end scenes like this near anti Semitic riot

254
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: that we keep seeing on our campuses?

255
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: What can he do next year and beyond?

256
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk to a recent Harvard grad who believes new

257
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: and a better day, a new day and a better

258
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: day is coming with the new administration. Stay with US

259
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: American Sunrise early edition is coming right back, Lovely Phoenix,

260
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: where the Eric and pest is going.

261
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: On right now. Maybe we'll go next year.

262
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: That'd be awesome.

263
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people from real America's voice there. However,

264
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: maybe I'll make it next year. Hey.

265
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal published a blockbuster article yesterday explaining

266
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: how the White House covered up Joe Biden's mental incapacities

267
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: during his entire presidency. But it was the work of

268
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: undercover journalists like James O'Keefe who made that report possible.

269
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: In many ways, Okeef and Charlie Kirk explain that right here, let's.

270
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 5: Play cutt in ninety one. This is Harry Appel, part

271
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 5: of the NSC. I hope you guys understand this is

272
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 5: not some sort of dog catching enterprise in DC, the NFC.

273
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: This is the President's personal national security apparatus, not Senate confirmed.

274
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 5: It works straight out of the White House. This is

275
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: not even Pentagon. This in some ways has a direct

276
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 5: connection to the commander in chief. What do we know

277
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 5: this guy's title at the NFC.

278
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 6: He's an advisor to the National Security Here.

279
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 5: Because that's a big deal. There's only these fifty or

280
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 5: sixty people that work in the NFC. In fact, everyone

281
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: in DD wants to one day become a National Security

282
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 5: Council advisor.

283
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: Play cut ninety one, Well, here's the team. Joe Biden

284
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: is like.

285
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 7: He can to says, she's like really like her addressed

286
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 7: as I can't believe it wasn't the biggest handle the player.

287
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: It'll be dead in that here.

288
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 5: So for those that couldn't hear, what was he? Can

289
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: you transcribe that for you?

290
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 6: Was saying that that Biden is dead, quote dead and

291
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 6: can't complete a sentence. And then he says he's concerned

292
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 6: that Trump is going to come after them. I say,

293
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 6: maybe they should come after them, because you work for

294
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 6: the National Security Council and you're talking in a public

295
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 6: restaurant to a stranger.

296
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 5: The Wall Street Journal says how the White House functioned

297
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: with a diminished Biden in charge. That's a nicer way

298
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 5: to harmonize with your reporting. By the way, this is

299
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 5: the power James O'Keefe. James O'Keefe comes out with this

300
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 5: story and then creates intellectual permission for the Wall Street Journal.

301
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 3: Right then that's right, have you seen that pattern before, James.

302
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 6: I think they're you know, they're not willing to do

303
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 6: what I do. But I mean, it's not none of

304
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 6: this shocks people. It's not surprising, but it's confirming. Charlie,

305
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 6: And like I said twenty twenty five, you're of the whistleblower.

306
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: If you're a good guy, come forward. If you're a

307
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: bad guy, be killed.

308
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 7: All Right.

309
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirkshow airs Monday through Friday here on America

310
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Real America's Voice, and that's at noon Eastern time. But

311
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: let's talk more about Joe Biden and very importantly, the

312
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: history of what happens when the world suspects or knows

313
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: that the President of the United States is not really

314
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: in charge the person who is supposedly the president. Here

315
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: are just a few examples, and I don't mean to

316
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: scare you, but this is what history tells us. Let's

317
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: start with President Woodrow Wilson. He had a debilitating stroke

318
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: in nineteen nineteen. His wife, Edith Wilson basically acted as

319
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: the president during much of that year. Now, the real

320
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: President Wilson did recover in nineteen twenty, the last year

321
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: of his term, but many historians believe that is the

322
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: facto absence in nineteen nine nineteen left post World War

323
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: One Europe without better direction, and thus laid the groundwork

324
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: for World War Two.

325
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: Pretty bad now.

326
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of World War Two, the Japanese believed President Franklin D.

327
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: Roosevelt was too ill and incapacitated to do much in

328
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: response to their attack.

329
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: On Pearl Harbor. That's why they launched it.

330
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: They were wrong, and their testing of his resolve failed badly,

331
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: Thank goodness. But would they have launched that attack if

332
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: they thought FDR was more vigorous and resolute?

333
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: I say no.

334
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty, the Soviets tested President Eisenhower in the

335
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: last year of his presidency. The USSR thought that Ike

336
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: was frail too, remember he had a heart attack five

337
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: years earlier. And they also suspected that the CIA was

338
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: really running the USA. After all, the KGB was really

339
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: running their country. That's called projection, but that's what they thought.

340
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: So when they shot down the American U two spyjet

341
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: surveilling their country that year, they kept the fact that

342
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: its pilot, Francis Gary Powers, had survived and was in

343
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: their custody.

344
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: They tricked him.

345
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: They tricked Ike into lying about the spying mission. The

346
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: Soviets then produced powers and the jig was up.

347
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: This was a test.

348
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: The Soviets thought that a weak Ike would try to

349
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: cover up his lie by blaming the all powerful CIA

350
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: for misleading him. But Ike was too honorable for that.

351
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: He took full responsibility. That whole affair could have gone much,

352
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: much worse. But he was an honorable man all right.

353
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Just a year later, Khrushchev and the Soviets were added again.

354
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: Then President John F. Kennedy attended a summit meeting with

355
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: Krushchev and Vienna in nineteen sixty one, shortly after JFK

356
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: underwent back surgery. Khrushchev took the frail postop Kennedy to

357
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: be a total weakling, and he launched plans to send

358
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: nuclear missiles to Cuba as a result of that bad

359
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: impression of JFK. Now, President Kennedy eventually stared the Russians

360
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: down in nineteen sixty two in the Cuban Missile crisis.

361
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: But that was an example of how a perceived weakness

362
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: of a US president almost led to total disaster nuclear war. Now,

363
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: let's fast forward to nineteen seventy three. When President Nixon's

364
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: troubles with the Watergate scandal spurred the Soviets to approve

365
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: the sneak attack on Israel in the Om Kippur War,

366
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: Nixon surprised Egypt, Syria, and the rest of the world

367
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: by still being focused enough to not only quickly resupply

368
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: Israel's military, but he also scrambled America's Strategic Air Command

369
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: just to warn the Soviets not to escalate things further.

370
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: And that brings us to Joe Biden. It appears the

371
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: rest of the world, from the Taliban to the Russians,

372
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: to the cartels to Iran, have been aware of his

373
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: mental incapacities all along. The chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that

374
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: you see here is possibly the worst example, but there

375
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: have been many such painful moments, And unlike JFK, FDR

376
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: and even Nixon, Joe Biden has failed these tests that

377
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: always come when there's even a hint of a president

378
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: not being in charge, and in this case it's been

379
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: more than a hint for four years.

380
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 2: God help us coming up.

381
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: Remember when Nike's biggest problem was that it was too woke,

382
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: Now that it has problems that just a few new spokes.

383
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: People can't fix.

384
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: I'll talk about their latest problems on the Sneaker Giants,

385
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: reasons for trying to change things around, and also the

386
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: young man who's become the messenger of hope for young

387
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: Jews facing anti Semitism on campus. He's about to join

388
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: us and he's going to explain why he thinks President

389
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: Trump will indeed make things better.

390
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. I think that's Austin.

391
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: Stadium, Eugene, Oregon, a fun place to watch a football game.

392
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: And I think there's still a number one team in America. Correct.

393
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: I think the college football playoffs getting started, thank god,

394
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: because NFL.

395
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: Football in New York is really really bad.

396
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at the markets how

397
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: they closed yesterday. Now you may have noticed we were

398
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna get a big jump yesterday, always going to be

399
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: a rebound of Nope. We ended up pretty flat and

400
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: we're looking bad for this morning. The Dow did end

401
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: its ten day losing streak, however, thank goodness that happened,

402
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: but not much movement there and it's heading down again.

403
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: And that's because we have a FED chairman who, for

404
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: political reasons, was cutting interest rates while we had inflation,

405
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: and he basically admitted the other day he shouldn't have

406
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: been doing that. So he created a monster. And he's

407
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, sorry, you know, stinks to be us.

408
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Nike, think of speaking of stinking.

409
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: Nike released its latest financial results late yesterday, and they're

410
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: not they're not well, they're not good. They missed on

411
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: the top and the bottom line. And Nike's new CEO says,

412
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: the problem is, wait for it, too much discounting. They

413
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: need to start making stuff you'd be willing to pay

414
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: full price for good luck with that. Remember when Nike

415
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: was woke and they had Colin Kaepernick. They survived that.

416
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: They survived that just fine because they had good products.

417
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Their products aren't as good.

418
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: That's the problem. Hey, everyone, Amazon workers.

419
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: Are on strike, well some of them are, I mean

420
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: a few of them are. Okay, here's the problem. There

421
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: were picket lines at seven Amazon distribution centers across the

422
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: country yesterday, seven out of about two trillion or so.

423
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: But you get my point. It's not really this big.

424
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: Amazon says just about all the picketers weren't even Amazon

425
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: employees or Amazon contractors. The Teamsters union says this is

426
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: a real strike and that they represent a lot of

427
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: Amazon workers.

428
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: Let me know if your package is late for Christmas.

429
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: And I swear if you get my package of Casmir

430
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: socks that was supposed to be a gift for me,

431
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna give it to my mom, I swear.

432
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: But all getting aside, Amazon is not on strike, folks.

433
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 1: There may be some workers there who are a little upset.

434
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: I understand that we can have that discussion, but saying

435
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: that there's a nationwide strike against Amazon, like the teamsers

436
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: are saying, it's not true. I got like six packages yesterday.

437
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: All right, it's not true. Something's going on there, but

438
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: it's not a nationwide strike. Here, I am again to

439
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: try to talk you off the cliff. All right, Remember

440
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: we had lower mortgage rates last month. Briefly those days

441
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: are likely over for a while, but November's lower rates

442
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: did serve as a shot in the arm for home sales.

443
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: But now that mortgage rates are surging back higher, this

444
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: could be a quieter than the usually quiet winter in

445
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: the real estate market. And meanwhile, more younger Americans are

446
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: opting for indefinite renting, and that's something that could really

447
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: have a long term negative effect.

448
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: On the economy.

449
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: I want to bring back my guests from the beginning

450
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: of the Hour of Vanessa Simon, Republican strategist, Vanessa, this

451
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: is something that really is discerning me. This is your

452
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: age group not buying homes. I don't know if you're

453
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,479
Speaker 1: a homeowner or a condo or a co op owner yourself,

454
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: but this is really bad. I mean, home ownership promotes responsibility,

455
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: promotes maturity, and it's really good for the economy. And

456
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: I know these prices are high, but I wonder if

457
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: you're as disturbed as I am all this renting that's

458
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: going on right now.

459
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: Very disturbing, Jake. I actually closed on my first house.

460
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: That's July. It's part of the Mexican part of the

461
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: American dream.

462
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 4: I'm first generation American, and that's what I strove for

463
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 4: my entire life. It's like, hey, you know, you want

464
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 4: to own a home. So I'm very alarmed, Jake. I

465
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 4: don't understand this indefinite renting. I mean, I got to

466
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 4: talk to my generation because they're also like not into

467
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: the whole marriage that a lot of kids don't.

468
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: They don't want to have children.

469
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 4: I'm not We're we're on the precipice of an America

470
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 4: that I just don't recognize and I don't really understand why.

471
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 3: So I really do hope things change.

472
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: I don't want to put all my eggs in the

473
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 4: January twenty of the basket, but I am. I'm like,

474
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 4: we've got to get back on track, and I'm confident

475
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 4: President Trump will get us there. But absolutely, home ownership

476
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 4: is paramount.

477
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: You know, Vanessa, the story I was talking about before this,

478
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: this Amazon story. You know, we have major corporations in

479
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: this country that just don't really work with unions. Starbucks

480
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: was a story just a couple of days ago, Barista's

481
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: in like a five hundred locations. There are sixteen thousand

482
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: Starbucks out there. And I think that one of the

483
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: things that people keep forgetting about some of these jobs

484
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: in America is that, you know, first of all, we

485
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: have labor lawyers. If something is really going on in

486
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: your workplace that is discriminatory, that is dangerous. I don't

487
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: recommend you join a union because they're not effective anymore.

488
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: Folks. Luckily, though, we've got a.

489
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: Lot of Barracuda lawyers out there that would love to

490
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: hear your case. You probably hear their commercials on the radio.

491
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: It's not just for slips and falls on the ice

492
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: in front of somebody else's house.

493
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: It's also for issues it might be having at work.

494
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: Call your lawyer.

495
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: We have a legal system here. I'm not trying to

496
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: give a free commercial for the tort lawyers. I don't

497
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: love them either, but honestly, they'll get you results. Joining

498
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: a union is all about, basically a Ponzi scheme. It's

499
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: about the older members and retired members of the union.

500
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: And I I to the UAW as the best example.

501
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: The UAW just got a big new contract. Remember Joe

502
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: Biden was on the picket line for them.

503
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: Remember that.

504
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: Well, it was really just another giveaway to the older

505
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: and retired members of the union. Because not a few

506
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: months even, not really even two or three months after

507
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: that deal was signed, the owner of Chrysler Stilantis started

508
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: shutting down on plants here in the United States and

509
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: laying off workers. Because the unions are interested in their

510
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: older members, they're retired members, now they're younger members. You know, Vanessa,

511
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if you're seeing the same thing I am.

512
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: I don't see any delay in any Amazon stuff. I

513
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: don't see any shortage of Starbucks out there clearly the

514
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: union answer, and I'm really trying to speak to people

515
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: who deserve representation. I'm talking about workers here who are

516
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: working hard. I'm not talking to the union leaders here.

517
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: If you're a young worker or someone who works at

518
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: one of these places, I'm trying to tell you, and

519
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if Vanessa will back me up here, I'm

520
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: trying to tell you the union path is not the

521
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: best path for you. I'm not trying to say you

522
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: don't deserve it. I'm trying to say that you're not

523
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: going to get the job done for you.

524
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, Jake.

525
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: I agree they serve as like a middleman the issue

526
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 4: that we're really facing, though our unions are by the thousands, right,

527
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 4: so I think it's something that we do have to

528
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 4: break down that conception that unions are the best representation.

529
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 4: But as it stands now, they're collectively working together, but

530
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 4: they're that middleman. They do the empty promises and the

531
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 4: strike is fake. I did hear that you know, Amazon

532
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 4: guaranteed that during the holiday seasons you will receive your packages.

533
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: So I'm not quite understanding what the protest is about.

534
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 4: As you shared, like it's like a soft protest during

535
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 4: the holidays, and I think it's it's a false mass

536
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 4: hysteria of like, oh my gosh, am I going to

537
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 4: get my gifts delivered? What's going to happen when in actuality,

538
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 4: Amazon's like, listen, guys, it's going to go unaffected. Everything's

539
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: going to be delivered on time. So I'm not quite

540
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 4: understanding what this is about. But as you mentioned, like

541
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 4: unions are just they're the middleman that they get in

542
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: between what the real issues are and providing practical solutions.

543
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, this is the what's unique about

544
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: this program is that I'm not bashing the unions. I'm

545
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: not bashing DEI because I just don't like because I

546
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: don't like what they say. I'm bashing in because they

547
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: don't work. Yes, we do have educational opportunity gaps in

548
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: this country. Yes we do have workplace situations in this

549
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: country that need to be improved. Anyone who says otherwise

550
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: is really not being compassionate or not having their eyes open.

551
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: The issues with the unions and with the Primitive Action

552
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: and DEI is that they don't work to solve this

553
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: real problem, And why anyone would continue to support tools

554
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: that don't work is beyond me.

555
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: Vanessa.

556
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it again, thank you for joining us.

557
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas again, thanks for sticking.

558
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: Around, and again, hey everybody, thank you. Coming up.

559
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: It looks like we're headed to a government shutdown tonight.

560
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: But as America as naive as it used to be

561
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: about how bad shutdowns really are, I'm gonna take the

562
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: doom out of Doom's day. Just ahead here on American

563
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: Sunrise Early Edition. It's Friday, December twentieth. Here are some

564
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: of today's top stories. Time is running out before a

565
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: government shutdown. Congress still hasn't agreed on a new budget deal,

566
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: and the clock is ticking. On the bright side, the

567
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: original massive omnibus bill is dead, but as a shutdown

568
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: really that bad, folks. Alleged CEO shooter Luigi Mangione is

569
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: now facing federal charges, and there's new evidence Mangione meticulously

570
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: planned the murder despite a host of mental illness red

571
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: flags for this young man. In another disturbing case, there

572
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: is growing evidence that the fifteen year old girl who

573
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: committed the Wisconsin school shooting may have been goaded into

574
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: it by a man, an adult man communicating with her

575
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: online that man was a llegedly planning.

576
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: A shooting attack of his own.

577
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: As all of this is happening, more and more people

578
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: are asking who is actually in charge of this country?

579
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: No one is pushing back hard on the new reports

580
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: that the White House staff has been covering up Joe

581
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: Biden's mental incapacity from day one of his term. So again,

582
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: who was in charge? And the Justice Department is dead

583
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: set on one final slap in the face to the

584
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: January sixth protesters. The DOJ is now arguing that JA

585
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: six defendants should not be allowed to attend President Trump's

586
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: upcoming inauguration. Can you say sore losers?

587
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: All right?

588
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: I want to start our focus this half hour on

589
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: the budget battle in DC. Now I've been heard that

590
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: I have heard that there's going to be voting starting

591
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: again at ten am Eastern, So in just about two

592
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: and a half hours, a little bit less than that,

593
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: we could start again with this process here in Washington, DC,

594
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: right on the House floor. Now again, folks, we had

595
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: a situation yesterday where we really did have progress. I

596
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: know you think no progress is being made, but the

597
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: compromise bill that was definitely influenced by President Trump and

598
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: some of the people around him. Was a million times

599
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: better than the original omnibus bill that we were dealing with,

600
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: So that's a step in the right direction. It included

601
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: this new bill, included disaster relief for the Hurricane Helen victims,

602
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: some other funding that we need for our defense and

603
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and it took out the pay raises

604
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: for members of Congress. And we can have that argument

605
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: about whether members of Congress should make more money. I'm

606
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: actually willing to have that debate because I think there

607
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: are some arguments for it that believe it or not,

608
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: But that is not where Those kinds of things don't

609
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: belong in bills that are meant to keep the government open.

610
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: Stop jamming this stuff in there like they've been doing

611
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: for forty years. And a point I've been making since yesterday,

612
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: and I hope everyone here is listening, because this is

613
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: a compliment to you. We the people are the ones

614
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: who got this omnibus bill killed, not Elon Musk, not

615
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: even President Trump, and certainly not Speaker Johnson, because we

616
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: the people have been talking and pounding the table about

617
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff for a really, really long time.

618
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: We didn't need Elon musk to tell us what we've

619
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: been complaining about for forty some of you probably even

620
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: fifty years who are watching right now, So really it's

621
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: an insult. It's an example of how democrats who are

622
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 1: all saying the same thing. By the way, they all

623
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: have this talking point memo they get in the morning

624
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: and they all say the same thing. It's really embarrassing.

625
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: We can cite these things. You know, we're a little

626
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: bit more alert to these games. But that's what's going

627
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: on right now, and it's a little bit embarrassing. So

628
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: we're still without a budget deal this morning. The deadline

629
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: is midnight before the government shutdown. Now, I want to

630
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: talk about government shutdown here for a second, because there

631
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: was a really interesting post by someone who I'm sure

632
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: a lot of you listen to Mark Levin just the

633
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: other day, and Mark Levin was talking about this. He

634
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: a long time ago did an interview with now never

635
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: trumper Paul Ryan. Remember when he was Speaker of the House.

636
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: Remember when he was Mitch Romney's running mate. You might

637
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: remember all of that. Well, Paul Ryan speaking with Mark

638
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: Levin on the radio years ago, and Mark Levin played

639
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: the old tape of it talked about how when the

640
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: government shuts down, it's really only seventeen percent of the

641
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: government that shuts down.

642
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: You still get your Social Security check.

643
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: That was one scare tactic the Democrats used to try

644
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: until people started getting their checks, and it didn't work.

645
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 1: We still pay our military. We don't stiff the military families.

646
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: And this is another one for all you folks living

647
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: in DC. The federal workers who sometimes miss a paycheck

648
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: or who during a shutdown all get that money back

649
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: eventually anyway, and they often get it with interest added,

650
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: so this becomes a paid for vacation for them.

651
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: Of course, I don't know how you tell. Some of

652
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: you might have noted of.

653
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: The story about Elon Musk talking about how well most

654
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: federal workers don't show up to work, and as someone

655
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: who used to live in DC, I can attest to that.

656
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: Many times I've walked into federal buildings to find nobody there,

657
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: and that was thirty years ago.

658
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 2: I can only imagine now with all the COVID and work.

659
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: From home excuses there are so these people stay home

660
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: from work anyway. They still get their checks. I'm not

661
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: saying all federal workers are useless. Obviously, a lot of

662
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: them are great, and we support the ones who are

663
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: great in doing their job. But they're not going to

664
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: have any loss of pay from this. They're going to

665
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: get their paycheck. They don't have to close the national

666
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: parks now. Barack Obama during the twenty thirteen government shutdown,

667
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: literally got some goons to put fences around the Washington

668
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: Monument so that people couldn't go into the Washington Monument,

669
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: just to prove how mean the Republicans were. It was crazy,

670
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: and former CBS reporter Cheryl Atkinson also has a post

671
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 1: on x about that long post about how she was

672
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: assigned in twenty thirteen to find out how people were

673
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: hurting from the budget from the budget shut down and

674
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: the government shutdown, and she couldn't find anything, and she

675
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: was forced to take pictures of these goons putting a

676
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: fence around the Washington Monument. Most people just want to

677
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: take a picture of the Washington Monument. They go up

678
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: to the top. You don't really need a lot of

679
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: workers for that. And I think they got some people

680
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: who were volunteering that day so they could have gone in,

681
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: but they put a fence around it. That's what we're

682
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: dealing with when we're talking about all this kind of stuff,

683
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: all right, folks. Another issue in the country right now

684
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with is the fact that we don't

685
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: have a president in charge. We are dealing with the

686
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: president who now has come out. Really everyone knows it now.

687
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday, and you might have noticed,

688
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: there's been no hard pushback on this.

689
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal reported.

690
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: Yesterday that the White House staffers have been covering up

691
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's mental capacities since day one.

692
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: This is not a new thing. I love how you're

693
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: having some people in the news media talking about like, well.

694
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: He's deteriorated recently. Not true. I'll tell you a story.

695
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: I've been following Joe Biden for forty years, folks, at

696
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: least watching him on teat hearing him speak. He was

697
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: always a fast talking blusterer and I couldn't stand him.

698
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: But he was a fast talking busterer, he was quick

699
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: on his feet. Now, in the twenty nineteen lead up

700
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: to the presidential election of twenty twenty, Joe Biden, you

701
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: may remember, went to the Iowa State Fair. First day

702
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 1: he went there, he pushed that canard about the fine people,

703
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: hoax about Donald Trump and Charlottesville, and even though I

704
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: couldn't stand a word, he was saying, he looked pretty

705
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: sharp but pretty cool in those sunglasses, those ray bans,

706
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: and he was being very sharp there.

707
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: But he came back for day two and day three.

708
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: Of the Iowa State Fair, and his decline was obvious

709
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: on day two. So since twenty nineteen, I and I

710
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: think anyone with two eyes and two years has been

711
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: well aware of Joe Biden's mental incapacities.

712
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 2: He's been in a.

713
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: Decline since more than a year before he became president, folks, obviously.

714
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: And one of the things I think you should all

715
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: take note of is that this big story came out

716
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: on the Wall Street Journey yesterday about how White House

717
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: staffers change schedules, absolutely change even policy sometimes to cover

718
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: up the fact that he's not all there, that Joe

719
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: Biden isn't all there, and there's been no major pushback

720
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: by any of them. Nobody at the White House has

721
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: come at and said this is a lie in the

722
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, this is some Republican paper. Nobody has

723
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: decided to come and stand on ceremony. Nobody have known

724
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 1: at least and say this is all a lie. Now,

725
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: this is a major, major national emergency. We've got a

726
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: few national emergencies going on right now, folks, and none

727
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: of them are the government shutdown. Government shutdown is not

728
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: an emergency, is not going to end anyone's life, and

729
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: if it forces us to be smarter about a budget,

730
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: it will end up being a very good thing. Here

731
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: are the two national emergencies that I think everyone needs

732
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: to understand and talk about. The first one being that

733
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: we don't have a president who's cognizant right now. The

734
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: second one being that that same not cognizant president is

735
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: rubber stamping hundreds and hundreds of pardons and clemencies for murderers.

736
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: They say there are non violent criminals. How is it

737
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: non violent? You had someone who killed too of her husbands.

738
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: You have someone who helped found hamas. These are the

739
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: national emergencies right now. I want to bring in my

740
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: guests right now, Maryland Republican Gardona, Hipponelie Gardana. I just

741
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: laid out what I considered me the two national emergencies

742
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: in this country right now, One being that the president

743
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: is not all there. Two being that that not all

744
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: their president is rubber stamping pardons. You know if I'm

745
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: being crazy right now talking me off the cliff. Are

746
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: these not national emergencies, Gardana?

747
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 8: Well, they they are certainly emergencies. I don't think we

748
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 8: need to, you know, use a legal term, since I'm

749
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 8: a lawyer, of a national emergency. But there's more emergencies

750
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 8: than that. We don't have information about the drones. We

751
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 8: don't have information about security of our country now that

752
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 8: would be a national emergency. On top of having incompetent

753
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 8: president and non functioning right now, non functioning legislative or

754
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 8: executive branch. So we do have a lot of problems

755
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 8: on our hand. And I hope that Trump gets in

756
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 8: the offices. He cannot get into the office soon enough.

757
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: Gordona, you know you're in Maryland, so I have to

758
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: ask you about this government shutdown.

759
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're surrounded by federal workers.

760
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: I think Maryland has the highest per capita percentage of

761
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: federal and government workers for any state in America. Yes, yeah,

762
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a guess here. I don't think

763
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: that your neighbors are running into a bunker and setting

764
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: themselves on.

765
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: Fire about a possible shutdown. They're going to be fine, right.

766
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 8: You know, They are used to it, and it's almost

767
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 8: it feels here that this is just another day. It's

768
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 8: a normal before Christmas scare. At the end of the day,

769
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 8: Congress will always come through. It never seems to be

770
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 8: a panic where, you know, people wake up and say,

771
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 8: oh what am I going to eat tomorrow because I

772
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 8: won't have a job. I don't think Marylanders even honestly care.

773
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 8: I think this is all politics and they don't take

774
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 8: things seriously. We hearing Maryland are surrounded by Democrats two

775
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 8: thirds of Maryland legislature or Democrats. We are headed towards bankruptcy.

776
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 8: The state's running out of funds, and most people work

777
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 8: in some form of government. Most of them work in

778
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 8: federal government. And because Congress have never kept their promise

779
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 8: to keep American budget in check, what happened was they

780
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 8: always raise those ceilings, they always certify and vote for

781
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 8: a more debt, and we go into a spiral that

782
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 8: continues on today. So this time is no different than

783
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 8: any other time. I think they all think they're going

784
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 8: to just be business as usual.

785
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: Gredna Shavaneli, I'm sorry we had to cut you short

786
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. Todavid, thank you so much for joining

787
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: us coming up, David Brody will join us from the

788
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: Big Show, and I think we'll talk a little bit

789
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: about another major topic going on right now here in America.

790
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 2: Stay with us the Big Shows soon.

791
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: We've got a few more minutes of American Sunrise Early

792
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: editions coming up right for you.

793
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home of the Bucks. They're Packers fans there.

794
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: They're having a pretty good sports season, unlike here in

795
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: New York, where our football teams don't play. In New York,

796
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: the two best football teams are Army and Columbia, and

797
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: they had good years.

798
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 2: But that'll tell you something about how the Giants and

799
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 2: the Jets again.

800
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: Okay, now's the time an American Sunrise Early Edition when

801
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,479
Speaker 1: David Brody from The Big Show joins us. And David,

802
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: there's really only one topic for us to talk about, this.

803
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: This budget cliphanger in DC.

804
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: First off, I want to give a shout out to

805
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: our colleague Terrence Bates, who's going to be joining in

806
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: a moment on The Big Show, because it was Terrence

807
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: who I think more than a month ago started telling us, hey,

808
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 1: we better start watching. This budget deadline is December twentieth,

809
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: and you know we weren't blowing them off. We all

810
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: respect everything Taran says, but I don't think we were

811
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: focused on it as much as he was, So kudos

812
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: to him.

813
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 2: But David, you live in DC.

814
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: The city is not going to be swallowed up like

815
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, like kine or something. If we have a

816
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: budget shut down, right, it's not. You're still going to

817
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: be able to like use the water, and your phone

818
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: is going to work.

819
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: Right.

820
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 9: For sure, and everybody will get their pay eventually retroactively,

821
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 9: and all of that for sure. But Jake, here's the

822
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 9: bigger question. There's a lot of things going on. First

823
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 9: of all, that you have thirty eight Republicans that basically

824
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 9: said no to President Trump, Chip Roy, Tim Burchett, Andy

825
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 9: Ogles and I go On Anddi Harris. I mean, there's

826
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 9: just so many of them, go Sar and Biggs and

827
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 9: all those guys. And then you had Byron Donald's and

828
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 9: MTG who were yes is on this. So Jake, let

829
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 9: me post the question back to you.

830
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 2: What in the world I mean?

831
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 9: In other words, look, can we just be honest here.

832
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 9: Donald Trump is not a fyscal conservative, Okay, So if

833
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 9: anybody thinks he's a fyscical conservative, he's not. And so

834
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 9: you have people like Chip Roy and Tim Burchett and

835
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 9: people that are friends of this show that have been

836
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 9: on the show, well Tim Burchett has been, that are

837
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 9: true blooded fiscal conservatives and they're not going to go

838
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 9: for anything of this idea of raising the debt ceiling.

839
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: They're just not going to do it.

840
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 3: Now.

841
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 9: I know, it can be smoking mirrors, and I get

842
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 9: why Trump was trying to do it from an art

843
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 9: of the deal standpoint.

844
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: I get all of that.

845
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 9: But they're not going to go for that. So what

846
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 9: do you wanted to do? Vote against their principles? I

847
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 9: pose it back to you. I mean, you know that

848
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 9: the easy narrative is to say, you know, shame on

849
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 9: the thirty eight Republicans to vote against this, But you

850
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 9: know what I mean, you can kind of understand if

851
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 9: they really believe that fiscal conservatism is there is the

852
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 9: reason they went to Washington.

853
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 2: Why in the world would they vote for something like this.

854
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, and another big takeaway I have

855
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: from this, David, is that this is democracy.

856
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 2: You know, it's a shame. I mean, I'm glad we're

857
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: doing it.

858
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: It's a shame that it's only people like you and me,

859
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: and only channels like Real America's Voice that understand that

860
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: you have people who have been in the news media

861
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: for decades who could only report on this as as chaos. Well,

862
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: you know, Winston Churchill told us a long time ago.

863
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: Democracy is a terrible, terrible system. Except this better than

864
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: all the others. We know that there's chaos. That's what

865
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: makes it democracy. And I know, don't tweet at me

866
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: that we're a republic. I know we're a republic, but

867
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: we are a democratic republic. We are a republic where

868
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: the people who run our republic have democratic accountability.

869
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: So I'm talking about that part of it.

870
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So don't give me the high school Civics class

871
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: for a second. Try the fifth grades of his class.

872
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: But what we're looking at right now is democracy. So again,

873
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: I think we've already laid it all down for the

874
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: American people, the.

875
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 2: Shutdown won't be so bad.

876
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: And having disagreements with the party as we hopefully get

877
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: towards a better bill that everyone can support, is a

878
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: good thing. In other countries, they don't have this debate

879
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: or a vote. They take you outside and they get shot.

880
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: Don't believe me, take a look at what we're finding

881
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: about in Syria. So I mean, come on, David, I

882
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: mean this is this is democracy, and as journalists we

883
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: should be applauding it, not not crying.

884
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 9: I'm fine with all of that, But from just a

885
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 9: pr standpoint.

886
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 2: It's this debacle. I mean, it's a total debacle.

887
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 9: This didn't need to happen. Where was to talk about

888
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 9: the debt ceiling privately before Trump threw that out at

889
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 9: the last moment and threw a wrench to it?

890
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: He did he threw a wrench in to it? Now

891
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 2: did he throw a wrench into it?

892
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 9: Or was this discussed and basically shot down and then

893
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 9: Trump brought it back up again? We don't know the

894
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 9: TikTok on all of this. All I know is that

895
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 9: this none of this needed to happen. And so where

896
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 9: does it leave Mike Johnson? Where does it leave Trump?

897
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 9: Where does leave the Republican Party? Who the heck knows?

898
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 9: There may be a shutdown? My guess is, here's here's

899
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 9: my spidey sense of being in washing for this long.

900
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 9: I think they're going to pass a clean cr for

901
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 9: a month.

902
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: That's it.

903
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 9: No debt ceiling, know anything, We'll deal with it in

904
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 9: a month. I'm sorry, Yeah, I say in a month.

905
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, a month.

906
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 9: In other words, when they get back, so what is

907
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 9: that three weeks or something like that. In other words,

908
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 9: early January, and they'll have to figure it out again

909
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 9: before Trump is president. That's the other part of this

910
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 9: that really just kind of bothers me. One president at

911
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 9: a time. I'm sorry, I'm a traditionalist. You know what,

912
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 9: go ahead and scream at me in the chat, but

913
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 9: one president at a time, I don't disagree. I mean,

914
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 9: obviously Trump is president elect. He should have a say

915
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 9: in what's going on, clearly. But you know, if someone

916
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 9: just dropped in from Mars, you would think that it

917
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 9: was President Trump that is running the show right now technically,

918
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 9: and technically technically he's not, even though we know Biden

919
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 9: is not running anything. My point is is that I'm

920
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 9: a big fan of one president at a time, and

921
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 9: it just feels like we're getting ahead of ourselves. This

922
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 9: just is a mess that didn't need to be a mess.

923
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 2: That's my point. No, that's exactly right.

924
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: When we don't have a president, or when people think

925
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: the president is weak, bad things happen. I talked about

926
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: that early show David have a great show and have

927
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: a great weekend.
