Speaker 1 (00:02):
A head on an American Sunrise early edition, an army
sergeant opens fire on five of his fellow soldiers at
Fort Store, Georgia. Some other soldiers rush to tackle him,
and the alleged shooters in custody.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
His five victims are expected to survive.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
The suddenly interested in the Epstein case, Democrats float a
story that Vice President Advance, FBI Director Pttel, and White
House Chief of Staff Suzie Wilds were planning a big
meeting to discuss the Trump team's next move in the
Epstein saga. Vice President Advance calls the story bogus. The
cracking down President Trump is warning that federal authorities may
(00:41):
take more control of Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
If the city's.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Crime problem doesn't get any better. Speaking of law and order,
President Trump floats the idea of having the FBI find
and bring back the runaway Texas Democrats who have fled
the lone Star state in hopes of blocking a redistricting plan,
and Apple CEO Tim Cook comes to the White House
(01:05):
bearing gifts, in this case hundreds of billions of dollars
in new manufacturing in the US, including some key components
on the iPhone that will be American made. American Sunrise
Early Edition begins now.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom,
and the values that built this nation takes center.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Stack your good, thieves and bad deeds.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's how we're gonna judge you.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Join host Jake Novak is he breaks down the stories
that match.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
He will be letting the public know regularly what we
have found.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak starts now.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Hi, I am Jack Novak. Welcome to this Thursday and
American Sunrise Early Edition. A lot of stories breaking and developing.
Overnight I told you about the Fort Stewart shooting, which
of course was yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Still looking at the condition of those victims.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
We have a name of the shooter according to the authorities,
Cornelius Radford. Will find out what his motivation was maybe,
but he is in custody and he is not injured
in any way, so we'll find out about that. And
also we heard overnight at least the Kremlin saying that
there will be a meeting between President Donald Trump and
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia in the coming days.
(02:26):
That's all we know so far. So we're looking at
those two developments right now. But joining us right now
to talk about some of the more enduring stories that
we really need to keep checking up on is RMG
Research President and the guy behind that Politan news network
at service, I should say, Scott Rasmussen. Scott, Look, you know,
we've got all these developing stories, but many of us,
and I think a lot of our viewers would agree
(02:46):
that the big story for so many Americans is these
continuing Are these continuing revelations and evidence being released about
the Russia Gate collusion?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Who was involved?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
President Obama's involvement, Hillary Clinton's involvement, James Clapper, John Brennan,
on and on down the line. But as someone who
really understands the American voter, is this something that you.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Think that will move the needle as.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Far as voting is concerned. I'm not saying it's not
going to fire up a lot of people, but will.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It change votes? Will it motivate people to vote?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I mean, in your experience, I know you probably haven't
done a major pull in it yet, but in your experience,
how do these scandals play out?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
It's likely to have less of an impact than many
of your viewers are hoping for or expecting. Let's start
with a very basic fact. Only twenty two percent of
Democrats know that Hillary Clinton's campaign paid for the dossier
that created the whole dynamic. We we live in a
world where people have different news sources, and we live
(03:46):
in a world. You know, there's a theory that scientists
float that when you look at something, only twenty percent
of what you see comes in through your eyes. Eighty
percent comes from what you expect to see your brain
to be efficient fills in the apps.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
So if you're a Democrat and you look at all
of this, you.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Think the Republicans are just lying, they're making stuff up
because we've never heard of any of these things. And
if you're a Republican, you're looking at just the opposite.
You know what, people are skeptical about politics. Fifty two
percent of voters think Barack Obama was probably somewhat involved,
but well, he's a politician. So unless there are major,
(04:26):
major revelations, I don't think this is going to move
the needle a lot. It might fire up some Republican
turnout in the midterms, which obviously is significant.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, we'll talk a little about the in terms a
little bit later.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But this is another reason why I think there may
be an impetus for indictments, because at least then it'll
bleed into all the news sources. Again, it'll be very
it'll be spun in a very different way compared to
what you see on different channels and what you see
in different websites.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But that might be one of the indus inpetus for.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
This, Jake, I got to tell you, you know, last year,
the Democrats were set saying if Donald Trump is indicted, it.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Will change everything. It didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
We did a poll right before the jury decided, right
after the number of people who had the view that
Donald Trump was less ethical than most politicians didn't move
a single point. It was already baked in. I suspect
we'll see the same thing. Yes, it might have some
news coverage impact, but again, this is something that is
(05:25):
going to be really hard to break through because this
is the behavior people expect of politicians.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
All right, So there's your warning to do this investigation.
It's to do it for justice. That that's you know,
if you're really looking for that, not to move the polls,
because you got to do it independent of politics and
try to go from the justice angle of it, and listen,
this sounds like they're building a pretty good case, but
it may not be anything for the polls, and we
should all be aware of that.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Scott.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The other big enduring story of these last few weeks
is this Texas redistricting fight. You know, we all know
about the Democrat's hypocrisy over this this you know, Republican
hypocrisy too. Hypocrisy and politics go hand in hand. But again,
just to remind everyone, the Democrats have gerrymandered so many
blue states for themselves, and they've done mid decade redistricting
(06:12):
stuff too. The Democrats have in fact, they've did it first.
So we can point fingers all day. But I'd like
to expand on something you to expand on something I
saw you right, which is that this scandal is reminding us,
or at least the educating us for the first time
for those of us who haven't been paying attention, that
the politicians choose their voters, not the other way around.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
What do you mean by that.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Right when you get to draw the districts the way
they are right now, the politicians draw districts.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
We see that in all the news stories.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now, well, if we draw this map, our state will
have eight Republicans instead of six. They are designing the
maps to reflect the outcome they want.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Why does this matter.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It's cutting the voters completely out of the loop. In
the last forty years, taking all the elections combined, when
an incumbent has run for reelection, they win ninety four
percent of the time. What this really means is that
for most Americans, they don't get to choose their congressman.
There's not really a big incentive to vote, and it's
(07:12):
cutting the voters out. That to me is the biggest
shame of all of this. I've done some other writing.
I stand with George Washington and James Madison and think
we should have much much smaller congressional districts than given
the behavior of politicians today. Probably have some kind of
proportional representation to make sure that in a state like Massachusetts,
(07:35):
if a third of the voters cast their ballot for
a Republican, a third of the representatives would be a Republican.
But we're a long way from that, and this is
really an indictment of our political system right now.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
The fact that we're having these wars.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, the way that they draw these districts to make
sure they have a favorable outcome. Reminds me of the way,
you know, Alabama, a scheduling Central Connecticut state state, those
cupcake games.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think that's the that's their whole life.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, let's talk about another race. The New York mayor's
race is exposing what many of us have known for
a long time, which is that the far left. I
don't like to call them progressive, that's my personal opinion.
I call them regressive because communism is an old idea
that's killed tens of millions, probably billions of people. I
don't understand why that is a progressive idea. It's old
and it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But anyway, it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Is exposing the fact that there's a civil war of
some sorts in the Democratic Party. I won't call the
people who are on the other side of Zoa Mamdani
moderate by any means compared to the most of the country.
But compared to Mamdani, you have other Democrats, including many
who are sitting on the sidelines not endorsing him, who
are don't like where he's going, don't like his ideas,
and feel that his victory if he does win in
(08:44):
New York will hurt the party nationally. Again, what are
you seeing on that score? I mean, when you do polling,
is there a down the middle split between people who
identify as Democrats between these kinds of ideas like communism
and stuff like that that Mamdanni proposes, or is it
really still more a majority, more in the sort of
normal side what we expect from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I'll say over the last several decades.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Well, Jake, let me put it in perspective, and every
survey we've done since October of twenty twenty, we asked
a question, do you have if you had a choice
between four presidential candidates, would you prefer one on equal character,
equal competence. Would you prefer one who has policies like
Donald Trump, a traditional Republican, traditional Democrat, or and we've
(09:28):
asked it now both ways, with somebody like Bernie Sanders
or AOC for years, going all the way back five
years now. The Republican Civil War doesn't exist. It's an
overwhelmingly Republican preference for Trump like policies. But in every
one of those surveys, there was a split right down
the middle between the AOC Sanders Democrats and the more
(09:52):
traditional Democrats and they keep butting heads. I think what
we're seeing here is this is playing out. We're seeing
so several cities now begin to nominate some candidates who
are on the AOC side of that great divide in
the Democratic Party, and it's a gift to the Republicans.
I think that you'll see a lot of the imagery
(10:13):
from these candidates and perhaps the future mayor of New
York or likely the future mayor of New York. I'm
talking about issues that Democrats don't want to talk about
in the mid terms, and that's a huge deal. And
what it does is it forces the Democrats who are
caught in the middle of this to answer questions do
you agree with the New York mayor? Do you disagree
(10:35):
with the New York Mayor? And the minutes you have
that divide. The party is in a little bit of trouble.
I think the Democratic Party is going to be fighting
over this for as long as I'm polling.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, it's there's always these kinds of movements within parties.
I always say people talk about third party stuff like
the Elon Musk thing. Actually history shows that changing a
party from within is much more effective. But I don't
think this is the chance that the Democrats naturally want
to see within their party and maybe they'll start voting
for a third party. Speaking of winning and losing and
(11:07):
how these things are going to affect the midterms, let's
talk about that just for a second, very early days.
We're still in August of twenty twenty five. Remember, everybody,
the midterm elections are not this year. It's next year,
twenty twenty sixth in November. But that said, this is
where we start seeing the green shoots, a little bit
of a sapling here and there, telling us where things
(11:27):
are going to grow and where they're going to go.
Where do you see things right now? As far as
the House and the Senators concerned? To remember, it's a
midterm election, no presidential election. So where are we right now?
At least where's the starting where's the starting line?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Well, in all things midterm, the most important discussion is
about how is the economy performing.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
James Carville had it right all those years ago.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
People are feeling a little better about their finances than
they did earlier this year, but what matters is how
they feel about their personal finances at this time next year.
People are feeling positive Republicans are going to hold the Senate,
maybe at a seat or two.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
If the economy goes the.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Other direction, well then we'll have a different type of discussion.
But the Senate looks pretty safe barring a real economic catastrophe.
Now the House always difficult to predict the House, especially
when the margins are so small, but this year it's
even harder because we have no idea what the districts
are going to look like. I would guess that right now,
(12:29):
barring any major redistricting changes, the Democrats are slightly favored
to take the House, but very slightly, and that's just
because the out party always is more.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Enthusiastic about voting.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
The party out of power has grievances, and they're more
likely to show up and get.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
To the polls.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
But when you go on a district by district basis,
it's hard to see a lot of easy.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Pickups for the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
There aren't a lot of seats that are held by
a Republican that were won by Kamalaha Eras, so we're in.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
A very close race. There again comes down to the economy.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
If the economy goes south in any way, if there's
even a mild mild recession early next year, the Democrats
win the House. If it's more upbeat, then the Republicans
have a shot. And again, let's figure out what the
districts are and how all of that looks before we
can give a final assessment.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, a lot of people in the mainstream media are
already a jumping the gun on that. The economic doom
and gloom on the headlines of all the liberal news
websites and TV stations. They are really jumping the gun
on it. But that's what you see if you open
up your into net this morning. Scott Rasmussen from RMG
Research Nepalitan News Service, thank you so much for joining us.
It's only Thursday, but have a great weekend you too.
(13:49):
Jake Okay, coming up. Ice tries a new tactic to
find illegal aliens and they have La Mayor Karen Bass
to thank for one new idea. Will and radical environmentalists
really do seem to want humanity to go away. If
you don't believe me, wait until you hear about a
brand new journal article in a medical journal begging doctors
(14:12):
to cut corners on your life. American Sunrise with Emily
Finn is going to be joining us. American Sunrise Early
Edition will be right back.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. Check out.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
That's the best breeze we've had so far from that
White House live shot. That must be a really nice
breezy morning in Washington, DC this morning. Welcome again to
this Thursday edition of American Sunrise Early Edition. Thank you
so much for joining us on the getter and the
rumble chats and your comments looking at those.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Joining us right now as she does every day at
this time Israel America's Voice contributor Emily Finn. And Emily,
I want to get your reaction to this nifty new
tactic being used by Ice.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We got some video here now.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You might remember a couple of weeks ago Mayor Karen
Bass went to MacArthur Park got all upset about ICE
agents looking for dangerous illegal aliens who were in the park,
and I think that gave them this idea. They pulled
up in a Penske rent a truck as you see
right there, looking like they were just a regular customer
at the home depot right near MacArthur Park, and then
they jumped out and went after some of those illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
There a lot of.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Innovative ideas going on by the folks in ICE and
the folks in the Sheriff's department helping out.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
You know, look, thank you, Karen Bass. You're giving us ideas.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know, the fact that you show up at these places,
in these neighborhoods is just reinforcing the fact that this
is where we need to go and try a little
bit of trickeration like this.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Absolutely. I was reading a little bit more about this
area too, Jake, and this is a hotbed for MS
thirteen gang activity, and these are exactly the types of
people that Tom Holman said that ICE was going after
the criminals in our country. We want to get them,
get them out of here. I keep thinking about the
statistic that we discussed yesterday too, Jake. Seven hundred percent.
(16:10):
That's how much the attacks on ICE are up from
last year. I mean that it's just so shocking. So
of course they're having to get creative and having to
get innovative and having to drive a Penske truck in
to kind of hide themselves because they are being targeted.
There are people that are leaking information about ICE operations,
something that Tom Holman has said has been extraordinarily challenging
(16:30):
for them as they continue on with the Trump administration's
wishes here. So I think it's great to see them
getting a little creative with their tactics, but sad that
they have to do this.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, but I like that this doesn't look very dangerous
and it also doesn't look like, you know, there's any
other people who are going to get hurt by it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's just a different way to operate.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Here's something speaking of operating that's completely different and I
think totally frightening. There's a new article in the Oxford
European Heart Journal that sounds the alarm about all the
carbon emissions. No, I'm not kidding, all the carbon emissions
that are produced from aortic valve replacement surgeries. This is
a common heart surgery all over the world, and it
urges doctors to consider other treatments instead of this surgery
(17:16):
because it is so bad for the environment. Apparently has
a lot of admissions. Now, I can't think of a
scarier thing to put in a medical journal. I mean,
why not just kill, by the way, why not just
kill the patient that'll cut.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Down on their emissions.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I mean, this is really are they even listening to
themselves right now. I mean, this is absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I can assure you, Jake, if I ever need heart surgery,
the last thing I will be thinking about is how
it's going to impact the environment. I mean, come on,
this is, like you said, this is a pretty scary
thing to put in a medical journal. We have way
more important things to think about that. There were scientists
that said that aliens are going to be coming in November.
We have a poll that is shifting the world is
(17:55):
going to end before any of this climate change stuff
even comes to fruition, in my opinion, So do the
heart surgeries, keep people alive, keep doing the things that
the medical community needs. I don't know, this doesn't seem
like something that really needs to be focused on in
a medical journal.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Jake. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And you know it's something else, Emily, you know something else.
It's also nothing new. Every pagan group and the environmentalist
groups out there act like they are a cult. They
always have like a religious cult, and every religious cult
pagan group eventually turns to human sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Look it up and here you go.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
They don't want people to have children, and now they
want you to forego a life saving surgery for some
other treatment because of emissions. Emily Benn, thank you for
all of your emissions. Thank you for continuing to breathe.
Your carbon a dioxide is allowed on this program.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
I appreciate you again tomorrow, see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
If you're stressed about back taxes, maybe you miss the
April deadline or your books are ms, don't wait. The
IRS is cracking down. Penalties add up fast five percent
per month, up to twenty five percent just for not filing.
Speaker 2 (18:58):

Call eight hundred nine oh five eight thousand, or visit
TNUSA dot com slash rav to talk to a real
expert at Tax Network USA. Take the pressure off. Let
Tax Network USA handle your tax issues. Coming up, Disney
(19:51):
is desperate to improve ESPN's sagging fortunes.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But will it's decision.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yesterday to combine ESPN with the NFL network really pay off?
That story and Moving America are coming up next. When
American Sunrise Early Edition continues, It's a look at the
(20:18):
battery New York Harbor as we begin another trading day
on Wall Street, not far from where you are looking
right now at that live shot. It's take a look
at where the markets are going to begin today, and
we're looking at green across the board. A couple of
reasons for this one is the markets are relieved because
today the new tariff's go into effect. It's August seventh,
(20:39):
some new twists go into effect, and they're seeing now
that there have been a number of exceptions for some
computer chip companies.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's what they were worried about. But they're also.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Happy about what the Apple news that I'll talk about
in just a minute and a few other things. Is
look at also crude oil, which is up this morning,
but still now at the sixty four dollars a barrel
level that is very very low priced for oil. Again,
expect to see some relief at the game as pump.
If you live in the state that doesn't tax it,
tax it too bad. And now let's look at bitcoin,
because we've had some movement there as well. We were
stuck at one fourteen for a couple of days. Now
(21:08):
we're up to one sixteen. Still not back into that
one seventeen to one twenty one window that we were
in for a couple of weeks, but we're getting darn
close for only three hundred and twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Dollars away from getting back into that window.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So you see things are moving higher pretty much across
the board.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Right now on Wall Street, hey, Apple CEO Tim.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Cook and President Donald Trump announced that the company will
be spending an additional one hundred billion dollars on US
companies and suppliers over the next four years. That was
at the White House. A lot of you watch that
right here on Real America's Voice.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Apple says this will incentivize overseas companies other companies to
buy more US made parts, not just the final product,
but parts. The commitment is on top of an already
five hundred billion dollar announcement that Apple made in February
about increasing its investment and activities here in the United States.
One of the most interesting aspects, by the way of
this program is that there will be a major partnership
(21:59):
and expansion the Apple's going to be doing with Corning,
which makes the glasses for the glass for iPhones and
Apple watches and stuff like that. In Kentucky. Apple says
all glass for iPhones sold anywhere, iPhones, Apple watches sold
all over the world, all that glass will now be
made in the United States at that Corning facility in Kentucky.
So hey, look, Grand Paul and Thomas Massey may be
(22:21):
given Donald Trump a hard time, but he's given them
a big gift because this is a big gift to
the state of Kentucky. So that is an interesting little
caveat to this story. But there is still no deal
right now with India as far as the trade wars
are concerned. President Trump has now also doubled the tariffs
on Indian imports to fifty percent. Now he's talking about
it that will go into effects in a few weeks.
(22:42):
But he's telling them they're going to double it. Now
why is he doing this Because India continues to buy
either directly or through other avenues, oil from Russia and
President Trump wants to see Russian oil off a lot
of the markets, at least for our closest allies like India. Again,
the breaking news welding news overnight is at President Trump
and Vladimir Putin, according to the Kremlin, will be meeting
(23:04):
in the coming days face to face. We don't have
a lot more details besides that, but you can see
President Trump really getting tougher on Russia and its oil
trade right now. And India is unless they change their policies,
they're going to.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Bear the front of it.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
That is another interesting story from the media world, but
it's also a big business story. Disney is buying the
NFL network and it's going to combine it with its
ESPN channel. You know, Disney owns ABC and ESPN along
with all those other Disney properties. Now, in return, the NFL,
which owns the NFL Network, will get a ten percent
stake in ESPN. Now this sounds like a marriage made
(23:37):
in heaven. It makes sense ESPN heavy with sports content,
especially the NFL and the NFL Network, and on and
on down the line. But I have a word of
caution for the folks at Disney and for anyone who's
investing in Disney based on this investment. The NFL is
America's absolute most powerful entertainment addiction, rich, poor, white, black,
(23:57):
foreigner American born doesn't matter. The NFL is extremely popular.
But what is popular about the NFL The live games,
the warm up shows, the talk shows. The NFL Network
literally has a show called Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
All those shows.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I'm not saying they're not entertaining in some way or another,
but that is not anywhere near as popular as the
live programming. And that is why the NFL network isn't
as big a cash cow as people thought it would be,
because they only have some live games on the NFL Network,
actually a very small number. It's the games we want
to watch, not all the warm up shows. I mean,
we'll watch it for a half hour, but not six hours,
(24:33):
and not six days a week, and then the game.
That's not what the public wants. That's not what the
market has been showing it likes. I don't know if
ESPN is going to make is making such a smart
movie here by buying more chatter like this, buy more games.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's great, but chatter.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Maybe I'll be wrong. We'll definitely see how that turns out. Okay,
ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. This is Moving America

(25:34):
that it's April through June quarter. Their profits during that
period not so good, fell by fifty percent compared from
the same period last year.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Now this is due to eat weaker electric vehicle sales
and tariff costs now and this just in Honda isn't stupid.
They're responding to this news by plans to phase out
some of its EV models. I've reported on that here
for you here on Moving America in the last few
months to cut back on some of their EV production.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's smart.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
And it's also looking into adding third shifts at its
US plans to get more tariffree products to its customers.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Again, Honda not stupid.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
They're looking at these numbers and it is adjusting and
this could be good for more jobs or at least
more overtime for a lot of the Honda workers here
in the United States. Okay, we now finally have a
list price for the twenty twenty six Chevy Corvette ZR
one X. Been talking a lot about this amazing vehicle
on this program. The coup will have a base price
(26:32):
of two hundred and seven thousand, three hundred and ninety
five dollars and the convertible will have a base price
of two hundred and seventeen thousand, three hundred and ninety
five dollars. Now, based on all the reviews, forget about
what I have to say. Based on all the reviews
by the car experts and the car magazines and websites,
this ZR one x is performing extremely well against much
(26:53):
more expensive brands. Many people, because of that are calling
the ZR one X a bargain because it's only at
the two hundred thousand dollars range. It's less than half
the price of some of the cars it's competing against.
But it is the first ever GM car, by the way,
to list for more than two hundred thousand dollars. And Lord,
please make there be a day when I consider anything
at two hundred thousand dollars or more.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
To be a bargain.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But that is what a lot of people are saying
about this amazing car, all right. Sometimes the mainstream media's
props come back to haunt it.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
This is a problem about to show you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
One of the key industry websites for auto Neews is
autonews dot com, and there you see it.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
They have a graphic there every day.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It's very helpful actually, that shows the average marketed price
of a car or truck in America, all the vehicles.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
You can see right there.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I say it a little bit under fifty thousand dollars,
and they tell you whether it's up or down for
the day.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
As you see there, it was.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Actually up zero point three percent just for that day,
not much. And then they show you the change since
April first, against Sorry, that's the first graphic. Now here's
what I mean by coming back to buy it. Autonews
is run by Cranes. It's a mainstream media operation, and
they started this graphic using it to the April first day.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Can you guess why?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Because that is when that was the month that President
Trump announced all the tariffs. And I think that they
thought this graphic would be showing eye popping numbers like
twenty thirty percent increases in prices.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And you can see from that graphic that I.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Just showed you only a zero point three percent increase
in all vehicle prices in America since April, when the
month when those tarifs kicked in again. That kind of
is a backfiring to me, if I were the Trump administration,
I'd be publishing that number every day. I don't think
that's what Crane's and Auto News had in mind when
they started that graphic. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think
(28:37):
they were trying to stick it to them politically.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And it is backfired.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Okay, here's a question, are you good at naming new products?
Because Ford is looking for what it calls a nomenclature strategist.
That is, in other words, they're looking for people to
give names to some of their new cars and SUVs
that they that they have on the production line. Cool
names like Bronco, like Maverick, like the F one fifty Raptor,
(29:00):
but they don't want Spoiler Alert is another Edseel. I
don't know who would Ford decided to call it the EDSIL.
I think it was Henry Ford himself naming it after
his son. Not only was that a bad car, but
it is still like a punchline. If you're a certain
age in America, the word Edsel makes you laugh as
soon as you hear it. So if you want to
name a car Edseel, don't apply for that job. Think
about Bronco, raped or stuff like that. You're good at it.
(29:22):
Inquire within at Ford, All right, coming up? Is there
anything that we're trying to do to fix education in America?
Is there anything that we're trying to do to fix
the whole country gonna work if we don't fix education.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
First, I'm gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'm gonna talk about some solutions with someone who's been
making that now his entire life's mission. When American Sunrise
Early edition comes right back, It's Thursday, August seventh.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Here this morning's top story.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
As an army sergeant opens fire on five of his
fellow soldiers at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Some other soldiers rush
to tackle him, and the alleged shooter is in custody.
His five victims are expected to survive. The suddenly interested
in the Epstein case, Democrats flowed a story that Vice
President Advance, FBI Director Patel, and White House Chief of
(30:20):
Staff Susie Wilds were planning a meeting to discuss the
Trump team's next move in the Epstein saga conspiracy. Well,
Vice President Advance calls the story totally fogus. Apple CEO
Tim Cook comes to the White House bearing gifts, in
this case, hundreds of billions of dollars in new manufacturing
in the US, including some key components of the iPhone
(30:40):
that will be American made in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And cracking down.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
President Trump is warning that federal authorities may take more
control of Washington, d C. If the city's crime problem
doesn't get any better. American Sunrise Early Edition continues. Now,
welcome back to this Thursday here in American Sunrise Early Edition.
Thanks to all of you who are watching and commenting
(31:08):
on the Getter and Rumble apps, watching on some of
these other many many apps, many many ways to watch
this program live or at your own leisure. So wherever
you are in your day, thank you for joining us,
but especially those of you joining us live and commenting.
Joining us right now is Pastor Donald Eeson. He's the
president of CURE that stands for a Center for Urban
Renewal and Education. It's that letter E that really got
(31:29):
my attention, because a renewal is a good thing to
be trying when it comes to our public education in
this country. Now, look, I talk about this all the time.
We can talk about racism in this country all we want,
but the real systemic racism that's still around.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I believe, is in the public school system.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Only in the public school system are Democrats really continuing
to be willing to let it continue to fail because
they feel like I guess, they have more allies in
the teachers' unions. And now is as bad as Baltimore,
But lately even President Trump has been giving Baltimore is
an example of what I was just talking about, because
Baltimore recently found out that in forty percent of their
(32:10):
public high schools, there isn't one single student who was
testing as proficient in math pastor Easton. This is a
This is the real systematic racism problem in America, isn't it.
This is where we need to stop talking about some
of the other stuff going on, like what goes on
in Jean's commercial, and start addressing this.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Am I right?
Speaker 7 (32:32):
You one under percent correct? Jack, Thank you so much
for having me on your show. Education is a huge
issue in our country. And I'm from Detroit and one
of the issues that you see is when it comes
to education. The statistics that you just mentioned, no one,
not one person is proficient in math and watch poord schools.
That says that Federal Department of Education has really failed
(32:56):
our students. It started in nineteen seventy nine and our
scores have gone down since and so it's not working
for the American people, and parents are looking and you
can see why parents will be looking for a way
out because the school system is not working for them
now in most school systems.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know, it could also I mean we're talking about policy,
and I know you mentioned nineteen seventy nine when we
created the Department of Education, and we'll talk more about
the new leadership there in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
But is this also.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
About attitude more than anything else, the idea that people
of all political stripes in this country seem to be
okay with this. I mean, I know that there's people
who are outraged about it when their parents and their
kids are in a bad school system. But when I
talk to people on the street or at or community gathering,
I see them pounding the table about a lot of issues,
and a lot of them are very important. I'm not
(33:49):
discrediting any of it or throwing cold water on it,
But rarely do I see someone who's saying, like, oh
my god, the school only a couple of miles away
from me is putting out students who can't read. Or
I mean, is it an attitude thing that we need
to get people? I mean, I hate to get people
upset and angry. That's not I hate when people do
that in the news business. But maybe just to tell
people like this is as an urgent an issue as
(34:10):
any other, maybe even more. I mean, we're talking about
billions of dollars, maybe trillions over the years, and we're
talking about thousands and thousands of kids just in your neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Frankly, well, you know, it's a big issue. I don't
know if you're familiar with Thomas Soli wrote a book
back in twenty twenty called Charter School and Its Enemies,
and he said there are over all approximately one million
students on waiting lists. So parents see it as a
big issue. And you're right, from the legislators or the
(34:39):
Democratic legislators kind of want to own the children. And
when you look at it from a scripture standpoint, the
Bible says parents raise up your child and the way
that should and when they are old, they will not
depart from it. It is the parents' responsibility to raise
their children. And really the public school system is partnering
with the parents. They don't own this student. They don't
(35:01):
own the child. The parents are the primary responsible person
for raising that student. And you can see that parents
are waking up and seeing something is wrong.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I love debunking mainstream media myths and lies and really
mainstream cultural lies in this country. And one of them
is that the school voucher programs, that these school value
programs that are basically just for red Southern states, for
religious fanatics. But let's talk about this brand new story
out of New Hampshire. That's not a southern state. That's
the state that's voted for Democrats in the presidential election,
(35:36):
at least we think they have. There might be some
chicanery going on there, that's another story.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
But New Hampshire has recently.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Expanded the eligibility for certain families to get into a
school voucher program. Guess what, pastor Easton, It's sold out,
over subscribed in a minute. And I think that this
is another example of what you were just talking about.
This is not just about some kind of trick to
steal the mind so that you can put it into
a church school or just something that radical right wing
(36:03):
people care about. New Hampshire had an over subscription to
their school that I mean, what does that tell you?
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Well, I mean it's not surprising. As as we mentioned
earlier time of sold in this book over million over
million students on waiting lists, so it's not surprising that
it sold out almost immediately in one minute. I know
that program is set up in New Hampshire to increase
by twenty five percent once they reach a cab which
is a good thing to continue to increase it, but
(36:32):
parents will continue to look for options for their children
to get a better education, and that is one of
the primary goals here in Detroit specifically. I know when
you talk to parents, the number one thing is they
want they want to put their students in safe schools
as well, and so that's what that all. That program
also allows them to take them out of school that
(36:52):
they feel is not safe and put them in a
safe school. So I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, past Resent, I'm not here to demon people or
demonized folks, but I'm sorry you do have to talk
about the hurdle here, and that means I have to
talk about the teachers unions in America led by people
like Randy Weingart, and she gets demonized and sometimes she
deserves it and sometimes she doesn't. But I wonder if
this is even getting through their heads. Do they even
understand the point of view of a parent? And the
(37:20):
reason why I'm asking the point of view about the
point of view of a parent is, you know, I
know the history of the teachers' unions in this country,
and before the mid nineteen sixties, they were not like
an auto workers union or a factory union within that
way they are now. And what changed them was that
in the mid sixties here in New York, you started
to have teachers getting attacked, often by parents. This was
(37:41):
a definitely out of the ordinary thing, but of course
it really galvanized these unions.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
They were being physically attacked in some cases. And that
is why I believe.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
The Teachers Union since then, because of the way they
were set up and the time that they were set
up and rejiggered. I should say, they are really not
really in partnership with parents, like you were talking about.
They really see parents as enemies more than anything else.
I wonder if that's your experience as well. It just
feels like they're on the other side because they think
that at the end of the day, we're against them
(38:11):
and might even threaten them.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
The administrative state has grown exponentially over the years. A
number of teachers have gone down, a number of students
have gone down, but the administrative state has increased, which
says that they are more about protecting themselves than protecting
and partnering with our students. So that is a big problem.
So that's why you see parents over the last several
(38:35):
years this big outcry about what's going on in their schools.
I can remember when I was I was back in school.
I just want to say this from a ministry standpoint.
They gave us a Bible, there were some morality taught
in schools. They've gone on a different track today, and
so absolutely the unions, and I don't like to deem
(38:58):
nize people either. However, the unions are or at least
appeared not to be on the side of the parents.
And since parents have the primary responsibility for raising their children,
they're really partnering with the parents, or they should be
partnering with the parents and listening to what the parents
have to say and what they want.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Pastor Let's talk about another person who's getting demonized these days,
and that is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. They're basically
getting on her because they are dismantling, as we know it,
the Department of Education and getting rid of a lot
of the employees who, as you said, that department's been
around since nineteen seventy nine and our education quality in
this country overall has not improved, certainly through no thanks
(39:42):
to the Department of Education in those few.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Cases or schools where it has improved.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
But you know what, she's being demonized. But here's what
I see because I've been following what she's been doing.
I've been seeing her looking and visiting individual schools, alternative schools.
So she's been doing that quite a bit, looking at
some of them, including one not far from my home
here on Long Island that is an amazing place called
the Schoolhouse.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
She's doing a bunch of things like this.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
What would you tell her if you were in the
room with her right now and say, here's what you
should be also looking at.
Speaker 7 (40:11):
I would say, one, keep doing what you're doing. You
can tell she cares about our students. She cares about
our public school system. We want choice. She cares about
the parents having an opportunity for better education for their children.
So I would tell her to continue going around the states,
going around to the different states, having the conversations with
stick parents in local communities on what this mantle of
(40:35):
the Department of Education actually means, which means sending the
dollars back to the states, or the states having control
of their education system. You know, before nineteen seventy nine,
students will getting educated. So the Department of Education wasn't
needed then, and it's I don't think it's needed now
to the great extent is being overrunning our states. States
(40:57):
need more control than their schools because states know what
they need. For example, here in Michigan, Detroit being at
one time the auto industry capital of the world, Well
what do wash students. Students need here they need to
learn in that area, and in other parts of the
country they should say, Iowa maybe is farming. I don't know,
but we just have to give more control back to
(41:18):
the states because it's just hard to run education over
the entire country. From Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yeah, I've always felt the Department of Education should be
merged with the Department of Labor. Let the people who
are experts on employment and jobs tell the schools some
of the things that they might want to look into,
and not force it, but let them know that this
is where things are going.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
That's really what should also happen.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Pastor donnalleis and president of CURE, the Center for Urban
Renewal and Education, thank you so much for joining us.
We're going to have you back on real soon, hopefully
to talk about some improvements in education in America. Thank you,
Thank you so much, Jake, thanks for having coming up.
Is Washington, DC about to become the first ever testing
ground for a president trying to directly fights crime. DC
(42:01):
area resident and hopefully not a crime victim. David Brody
will join me to discuss that. When American Sunrise Early
Edition comes right back, you're looking at.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
A live shot of the White House.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Here on American Sunrise Early Edition, you can see the
flag is blowing in the background, but not in the foreground.
I'm always worried about the humidity in Washington, d C.
I guess I'm a little bit over concerned about that.
I should be more concerned about the crime in Washington,
d C. Listen, it's not ever I can ever remember
time when in the actual district of Columbia there weren't
major crime concerns. I think it's gotten a lot better
(42:45):
in some ways than it was thirty forty years ago,
but apparently it's taking a turn for the worse in
recent recent years. Joining us right now is David Brody,
and I want to talk to him because he is
a DC area resident, hopefully not a DC area crime victim.
But I'm talking about maybe federalizing the cops doing something
because he was very rattled by that former.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Employee of DOGE who was.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Jumped by some kind of gang of guys on the
street not long ago and injured. Look, you know, to me,
the issue in DC has always been that sure, it's
you know they don't it's it's you know, they get
three Electoral College votes. But it's really it is sort
of fund It is completely funded by the federal government.
They've always had a police force that was hit or miss.
(43:28):
I always thought it was a problem of accountability. You know,
there was a mayor of d C, but usually it's
a one party city. You know, I have all these
examples here. What you know, you're there, what are on
the ground. Is Is it as bad as it was
in the late seventies early eighties like I remember it?
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Or are we just back where we started?
Speaker 8 (43:44):
Well, first of all, when I say it's better, let's
let's qualify better. Okay, I mean we're going to go
to back to Merriam Barry and some white powder and
all that type of stuff. Okay, it's not that.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (43:56):
Actually a total violent crime down about thirty five percent
over last year, but juvenile crime is up. It's a
big problem. So that's some of the dynamic there. Look,
there's a lot to unpack here. First of all, Jake
Let's be clear, Trump can easily just call him the
National Guard. As a matter of fact, DC is the
only out of all the territory states and all that
(44:19):
it's the only one where the president they report to
the President the DC National Guard. So he doesn't have
to go through mural battleser on the National Guard, on
the DC Police, it's different. He can do this under
special circumstances for about thirty days. I say about it
actually says in the statute Home Rule Acts has thirty days.
He can call in the Metro DC Police and that's it.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
Then he's done. Then he has to get an.
Speaker 8 (44:41):
Act of Congress literally an Act of Congress to go
forward after thirty days. So what I see what Trump
doing here is once again, and it always filters back
to the art of the deal. Everything with Trump is
the art of the deal. It's all about negotiation, it's
all about a power play, it's all about staking after claim.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
And this is what Trump is doing. He wants to
see movement, whether it.
Speaker 8 (45:01):
Be from the DC City Council or just overall in
general about making sure DC becomes quote great again. And
the way he does that is he uses the bully
pulpit to get a little bullyish, if you will, with
the folks in DC. Because here's the thing with Trump
and the beauty of Trump, and this is the beauty
of the art.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Of the deal, is that he just might do it.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
They know it.
Speaker 8 (45:25):
They know he'll do it because you know what, he
was on the roof the other day, So heck, what
the heck he'll do anything. I mean, this guy is
one of a kind. So the point is is that
he knows where the leverage points are always and so
I just think not that it's bluster, because bluster suggests
that he's not going to do anything. I think he
will and can do something and will do something if
(45:45):
something doesn't move. But to get them to move, he's
got to start talking pretty provocatively. And this is definitely
provocative talk.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Yeah, and what a difference it is. I mean, again,
this continue do you talk about? Everything is the art
of the deal. Much of what happens just keeps reminding
me why this guy was able to win over the
Republican Party first and then a majority of the American voters.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Remember George H. W.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Bush, George Bush Senior, talking about crime in DC, holding
up a packet of crack cocaine that.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
He said this was. This was seized just a few
blocks from the White House.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
He was talking a talk, but nothing ever happened. He
didn't ever threaten to federalize law enforcement in Washington, DC,
and he certainly never did it.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Love it or hate Trump.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
He does a lot of these things that he talks about,
and people like that action.
Speaker 8 (46:31):
Yeah, and just remember and not gonna be quick here.
But of course during the campaign, we remember the famous
line when he was talking to African American members and communities,
he come in and go, what the hell do you
have to lose? I mean, this guy one of a kind.
We're living We're living literally living history. Not like Hillary Clinton,
but we are living history.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Yeah, listen, spoiler alert, voters like action, action, action, You're
gonna get some more action in the next two hours.
American Sunrise Early edition comes back tomorrow.
A head on an American Sunrise early edition, an army
sergeant opens fire on five of his fellow soldiers at
Fort Store, Georgia. Some other soldiers rush to tackle him,
and the alleged shooters in custody.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
His five victims are expected to survive.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
The suddenly interested in the Epstein case, Democrats float a
story that Vice President Advance, FBI Director Pttel, and White
House Chief of Staff Suzie Wilds were planning a big
meeting to discuss the Trump team's next move in the
Epstein saga. Vice President Advance calls the story bogus. The
cracking down President Trump is warning that federal authorities may
(00:41):
take more control of Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
If the city's.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Crime problem doesn't get any better. Speaking of law and order,
President Trump floats the idea of having the FBI find
and bring back the runaway Texas Democrats who have fled
the lone Star state in hopes of blocking a redistricting plan,
and Apple CEO Tim Cook comes to the White House
(01:05):
bearing gifts, in this case hundreds of billions of dollars
in new manufacturing in the US, including some key components
on the iPhone that will be American made. American Sunrise
Early Edition begins now.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom,
and the values that built this nation takes center.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Stack your good, thieves and bad deeds.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's how we're gonna judge you.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Join host Jake Novak is he breaks down the stories
that match.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
He will be letting the public know regularly what we
have found.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak starts now.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Hi, I am Jack Novak. Welcome to this Thursday and
American Sunrise Early Edition. A lot of stories breaking and developing.
Overnight I told you about the Fort Stewart shooting, which
of course was yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Still looking at the condition of those victims.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
We have a name of the shooter according to the authorities,
Cornelius Radford. Will find out what his motivation was maybe,
but he is in custody and he is not injured
in any way, so we'll find out about that. And
also we heard overnight at least the Kremlin saying that
there will be a meeting between President Donald Trump and
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia in the coming days.
(02:26):
That's all we know so far. So we're looking at
those two developments right now. But joining us right now
to talk about some of the more enduring stories that
we really need to keep checking up on is RMG
Research President and the guy behind that Politan news network
at service, I should say, Scott Rasmussen. Scott, Look, you know,
we've got all these developing stories, but many of us,
and I think a lot of our viewers would agree
(02:46):
that the big story for so many Americans is these
continuing Are these continuing revelations and evidence being released about
the Russia Gate collusion?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Who was involved?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
President Obama's involvement, Hillary Clinton's involvement, James Clapper, John Brennan,
on and on down the line. But as someone who
really understands the American voter, is this something that you.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Think that will move the needle as.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Far as voting is concerned. I'm not saying it's not
going to fire up a lot of people, but will.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It change votes? Will it motivate people to vote?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I mean, in your experience, I know you probably haven't
done a major pull in it yet, but in your experience,
how do these scandals play out?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
It's likely to have less of an impact than many
of your viewers are hoping for or expecting. Let's start
with a very basic fact. Only twenty two percent of
Democrats know that Hillary Clinton's campaign paid for the dossier
that created the whole dynamic. We we live in a
world where people have different news sources, and we live
(03:46):
in a world. You know, there's a theory that scientists
float that when you look at something, only twenty percent
of what you see comes in through your eyes. Eighty
percent comes from what you expect to see your brain
to be efficient fills in the apps.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
So if you're a Democrat and you look at all
of this, you.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Think the Republicans are just lying, they're making stuff up
because we've never heard of any of these things. And
if you're a Republican, you're looking at just the opposite.
You know what, people are skeptical about politics. Fifty two
percent of voters think Barack Obama was probably somewhat involved,
but well, he's a politician. So unless there are major,
(04:26):
major revelations, I don't think this is going to move
the needle a lot. It might fire up some Republican
turnout in the midterms, which obviously is significant.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, we'll talk a little about the in terms a
little bit later.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But this is another reason why I think there may
be an impetus for indictments, because at least then it'll
bleed into all the news sources. Again, it'll be very
it'll be spun in a very different way compared to
what you see on different channels and what you see
in different websites.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But that might be one of the indus inpetus for.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
This, Jake, I got to tell you, you know, last year,
the Democrats were set saying if Donald Trump is indicted, it.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Will change everything. It didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
We did a poll right before the jury decided, right
after the number of people who had the view that
Donald Trump was less ethical than most politicians didn't move
a single point. It was already baked in. I suspect
we'll see the same thing. Yes, it might have some
news coverage impact, but again, this is something that is
(05:25):
going to be really hard to break through because this
is the behavior people expect of politicians.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
All right, So there's your warning to do this investigation.
It's to do it for justice. That that's you know,
if you're really looking for that, not to move the polls,
because you got to do it independent of politics and
try to go from the justice angle of it, and listen,
this sounds like they're building a pretty good case, but
it may not be anything for the polls, and we
should all be aware of that.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Scott.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The other big enduring story of these last few weeks
is this Texas redistricting fight. You know, we all know
about the Democrat's hypocrisy over this this you know, Republican
hypocrisy too. Hypocrisy and politics go hand in hand. But again,
just to remind everyone, the Democrats have gerrymandered so many
blue states for themselves, and they've done mid decade redistricting
(06:12):
stuff too. The Democrats have in fact, they've did it first.
So we can point fingers all day. But I'd like
to expand on something you to expand on something I
saw you right, which is that this scandal is reminding us,
or at least the educating us for the first time
for those of us who haven't been paying attention, that
the politicians choose their voters, not the other way around.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
What do you mean by that.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Right when you get to draw the districts the way
they are right now, the politicians draw districts.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
We see that in all the news stories.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now, well, if we draw this map, our state will
have eight Republicans instead of six. They are designing the
maps to reflect the outcome they want.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Why does this matter.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It's cutting the voters completely out of the loop. In
the last forty years, taking all the elections combined, when
an incumbent has run for reelection, they win ninety four
percent of the time. What this really means is that
for most Americans, they don't get to choose their congressman.
There's not really a big incentive to vote, and it's
(07:12):
cutting the voters out. That to me is the biggest
shame of all of this. I've done some other writing.
I stand with George Washington and James Madison and think
we should have much much smaller congressional districts than given
the behavior of politicians today. Probably have some kind of
proportional representation to make sure that in a state like Massachusetts,
(07:35):
if a third of the voters cast their ballot for
a Republican, a third of the representatives would be a Republican.
But we're a long way from that, and this is
really an indictment of our political system right now.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
The fact that we're having these wars.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, the way that they draw these districts to make
sure they have a favorable outcome. Reminds me of the way,
you know, Alabama, a scheduling Central Connecticut state state, those
cupcake games.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think that's the that's their whole life.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, let's talk about another race. The New York mayor's
race is exposing what many of us have known for
a long time, which is that the far left. I
don't like to call them progressive, that's my personal opinion.
I call them regressive because communism is an old idea
that's killed tens of millions, probably billions of people. I
don't understand why that is a progressive idea. It's old
and it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But anyway, it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Is exposing the fact that there's a civil war of
some sorts in the Democratic Party. I won't call the
people who are on the other side of Zoa Mamdani
moderate by any means compared to the most of the country.
But compared to Mamdani, you have other Democrats, including many
who are sitting on the sidelines not endorsing him, who
are don't like where he's going, don't like his ideas,
and feel that his victory if he does win in
(08:44):
New York will hurt the party nationally. Again, what are
you seeing on that score? I mean, when you do polling,
is there a down the middle split between people who
identify as Democrats between these kinds of ideas like communism
and stuff like that that Mamdanni proposes, or is it
really still more a majority, more in the sort of
normal side what we expect from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I'll say over the last several decades.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Well, Jake, let me put it in perspective, and every
survey we've done since October of twenty twenty, we asked
a question, do you have if you had a choice
between four presidential candidates, would you prefer one on equal character,
equal competence. Would you prefer one who has policies like
Donald Trump, a traditional Republican, traditional Democrat, or and we've
(09:28):
asked it now both ways, with somebody like Bernie Sanders
or AOC for years, going all the way back five
years now. The Republican Civil War doesn't exist. It's an
overwhelmingly Republican preference for Trump like policies. But in every
one of those surveys, there was a split right down
the middle between the AOC Sanders Democrats and the more
(09:52):
traditional Democrats and they keep butting heads. I think what
we're seeing here is this is playing out. We're seeing
so several cities now begin to nominate some candidates who
are on the AOC side of that great divide in
the Democratic Party, and it's a gift to the Republicans.
I think that you'll see a lot of the imagery
(10:13):
from these candidates and perhaps the future mayor of New
York or likely the future mayor of New York. I'm
talking about issues that Democrats don't want to talk about
in the mid terms, and that's a huge deal. And
what it does is it forces the Democrats who are
caught in the middle of this to answer questions do
you agree with the New York mayor? Do you disagree
(10:35):
with the New York Mayor? And the minutes you have
that divide. The party is in a little bit of trouble.
I think the Democratic Party is going to be fighting
over this for as long as I'm polling.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, it's there's always these kinds of movements within parties.
I always say people talk about third party stuff like
the Elon Musk thing. Actually history shows that changing a
party from within is much more effective. But I don't
think this is the chance that the Democrats naturally want
to see within their party and maybe they'll start voting
for a third party. Speaking of winning and losing and
(11:07):
how these things are going to affect the midterms, let's
talk about that just for a second, very early days.
We're still in August of twenty twenty five. Remember, everybody,
the midterm elections are not this year. It's next year,
twenty twenty sixth in November. But that said, this is
where we start seeing the green shoots, a little bit
of a sapling here and there, telling us where things
(11:27):
are going to grow and where they're going to go.
Where do you see things right now? As far as
the House and the Senators concerned? To remember, it's a
midterm election, no presidential election. So where are we right now?
At least where's the starting where's the starting line?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Well, in all things midterm, the most important discussion is
about how is the economy performing.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
James Carville had it right all those years ago.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
People are feeling a little better about their finances than
they did earlier this year, but what matters is how
they feel about their personal finances at this time next year.
People are feeling positive Republicans are going to hold the Senate,
maybe at a seat or two.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
If the economy goes the.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Other direction, well then we'll have a different type of discussion.
But the Senate looks pretty safe barring a real economic catastrophe.
Now the House always difficult to predict the House, especially
when the margins are so small, but this year it's
even harder because we have no idea what the districts
are going to look like. I would guess that right now,
(12:29):
barring any major redistricting changes, the Democrats are slightly favored
to take the House, but very slightly, and that's just
because the out party always is more.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Enthusiastic about voting.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
The party out of power has grievances, and they're more
likely to show up and get.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
To the polls.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
But when you go on a district by district basis,
it's hard to see a lot of easy.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Pickups for the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
There aren't a lot of seats that are held by
a Republican that were won by Kamalaha Eras, so we're in.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
A very close race. There again comes down to the economy.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
If the economy goes south in any way, if there's
even a mild mild recession early next year, the Democrats
win the House. If it's more upbeat, then the Republicans
have a shot. And again, let's figure out what the
districts are and how all of that looks before we
can give a final assessment.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, a lot of people in the mainstream media are
already a jumping the gun on that. The economic doom
and gloom on the headlines of all the liberal news
websites and TV stations. They are really jumping the gun
on it. But that's what you see if you open
up your into net this morning. Scott Rasmussen from RMG
Research Nepalitan News Service, thank you so much for joining us.
It's only Thursday, but have a great weekend you too.
(13:49):
Jake Okay, coming up. Ice tries a new tactic to
find illegal aliens and they have La Mayor Karen Bass
to thank for one new idea. Will and radical environmentalists
really do seem to want humanity to go away. If
you don't believe me, wait until you hear about a
brand new journal article in a medical journal begging doctors
(14:12):
to cut corners on your life. American Sunrise with Emily
Finn is going to be joining us. American Sunrise Early
Edition will be right back.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. Check out.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
That's the best breeze we've had so far from that
White House live shot. That must be a really nice
breezy morning in Washington, DC this morning. Welcome again to
this Thursday edition of American Sunrise Early Edition. Thank you
so much for joining us on the getter and the
rumble chats and your comments looking at those.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Joining us right now as she does every day at
this time Israel America's Voice contributor Emily Finn. And Emily,
I want to get your reaction to this nifty new
tactic being used by Ice.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
We got some video here now.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You might remember a couple of weeks ago Mayor Karen
Bass went to MacArthur Park got all upset about ICE
agents looking for dangerous illegal aliens who were in the park,
and I think that gave them this idea. They pulled
up in a Penske rent a truck as you see
right there, looking like they were just a regular customer
at the home depot right near MacArthur Park, and then
they jumped out and went after some of those illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
There a lot of.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Innovative ideas going on by the folks in ICE and
the folks in the Sheriff's department helping out.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
You know, look, thank you, Karen Bass. You're giving us ideas.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know, the fact that you show up at these places,
in these neighborhoods is just reinforcing the fact that this
is where we need to go and try a little
bit of trickeration like this.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Absolutely. I was reading a little bit more about this
area too, Jake, and this is a hotbed for MS
thirteen gang activity, and these are exactly the types of
people that Tom Holman said that ICE was going after
the criminals in our country. We want to get them,
get them out of here. I keep thinking about the
statistic that we discussed yesterday too, Jake. Seven hundred percent.
(16:10):
That's how much the attacks on ICE are up from
last year. I mean that it's just so shocking. So
of course they're having to get creative and having to
get innovative and having to drive a Penske truck in
to kind of hide themselves because they are being targeted.
There are people that are leaking information about ICE operations,
something that Tom Holman has said has been extraordinarily challenging
(16:30):
for them as they continue on with the Trump administration's
wishes here. So I think it's great to see them
getting a little creative with their tactics, but sad that
they have to do this.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, but I like that this doesn't look very dangerous
and it also doesn't look like, you know, there's any
other people who are going to get hurt by it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's just a different way to operate.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Here's something speaking of operating that's completely different and I
think totally frightening. There's a new article in the Oxford
European Heart Journal that sounds the alarm about all the
carbon emissions. No, I'm not kidding, all the carbon emissions
that are produced from aortic valve replacement surgeries. This is
a common heart surgery all over the world, and it
urges doctors to consider other treatments instead of this surgery
(17:16):
because it is so bad for the environment. Apparently has
a lot of admissions. Now, I can't think of a
scarier thing to put in a medical journal. I mean,
why not just kill, by the way, why not just
kill the patient that'll cut.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Down on their emissions.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I mean, this is really are they even listening to
themselves right now. I mean, this is absolutely terrifying.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I can assure you, Jake, if I ever need heart surgery,
the last thing I will be thinking about is how
it's going to impact the environment. I mean, come on,
this is, like you said, this is a pretty scary
thing to put in a medical journal. We have way
more important things to think about that. There were scientists
that said that aliens are going to be coming in November.
We have a poll that is shifting the world is
(17:55):
going to end before any of this climate change stuff
even comes to fruition, in my opinion, So do the
heart surgeries, keep people alive, keep doing the things that
the medical community needs. I don't know, this doesn't seem
like something that really needs to be focused on in
a medical journal.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Jake. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And you know it's something else, Emily, you know something else.
It's also nothing new. Every pagan group and the environmentalist
groups out there act like they are a cult. They
always have like a religious cult, and every religious cult
pagan group eventually turns to human sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Look it up and here you go.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
They don't want people to have children, and now they
want you to forego a life saving surgery for some
other treatment because of emissions. Emily Benn, thank you for
all of your emissions. Thank you for continuing to breathe.
Your carbon a dioxide is allowed on this program.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
I appreciate you again tomorrow, see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
If you're stressed about back taxes, maybe you miss the
April deadline or your books are ms, don't wait. The
IRS is cracking down. Penalties add up fast five percent

Tax Network USA handle your tax issues. Coming up, Disney
(19:51):
is desperate to improve ESPN's sagging fortunes.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But will it's decision.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yesterday to combine ESPN with the NFL network really pay off?
That story and Moving America are coming up next. When
American Sunrise Early Edition continues, It's a look at the
(20:18):
battery New York Harbor as we begin another trading day
on Wall Street, not far from where you are looking
right now at that live shot. It's take a look
at where the markets are going to begin today, and
we're looking at green across the board. A couple of
reasons for this one is the markets are relieved because
today the new tariff's go into effect. It's August seventh,
(20:39):
some new twists go into effect, and they're seeing now
that there have been a number of exceptions for some
computer chip companies.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's what they were worried about. But they're also.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Happy about what the Apple news that I'll talk about
in just a minute and a few other things. Is
look at also crude oil, which is up this morning,
but still now at the sixty four dollars a barrel
level that is very very low priced for oil. Again,
expect to see some relief at the game as pump.
If you live in the state that doesn't tax it,
tax it too bad. And now let's look at bitcoin,
because we've had some movement there as well. We were
stuck at one fourteen for a couple of days. Now
(21:08):
we're up to one sixteen. Still not back into that
one seventeen to one twenty one window that we were
in for a couple of weeks, but we're getting darn
close for only three hundred and twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Dollars away from getting back into that window.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So you see things are moving higher pretty much across
the board.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Right now on Wall Street, hey, Apple CEO Tim.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Cook and President Donald Trump announced that the company will
be spending an additional one hundred billion dollars on US
companies and suppliers over the next four years. That was
at the White House. A lot of you watch that
right here on Real America's Voice.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Apple says this will incentivize overseas companies other companies to
buy more US made parts, not just the final product,
but parts. The commitment is on top of an already
five hundred billion dollar announcement that Apple made in February
about increasing its investment and activities here in the United States.
One of the most interesting aspects, by the way of
this program is that there will be a major partnership
(21:59):
and expansion the Apple's going to be doing with Corning,
which makes the glasses for the glass for iPhones and
Apple watches and stuff like that. In Kentucky. Apple says
all glass for iPhones sold anywhere, iPhones, Apple watches sold
all over the world, all that glass will now be
made in the United States at that Corning facility in Kentucky.
So hey, look, Grand Paul and Thomas Massey may be
(22:21):
given Donald Trump a hard time, but he's given them
a big gift because this is a big gift to
the state of Kentucky. So that is an interesting little
caveat to this story. But there is still no deal
right now with India as far as the trade wars
are concerned. President Trump has now also doubled the tariffs
on Indian imports to fifty percent. Now he's talking about
it that will go into effects in a few weeks.
(22:42):
But he's telling them they're going to double it. Now
why is he doing this Because India continues to buy
either directly or through other avenues, oil from Russia and
President Trump wants to see Russian oil off a lot
of the markets, at least for our closest allies like India. Again,
the breaking news welding news overnight is at President Trump
and Vladimir Putin, according to the Kremlin, will be meeting
(23:04):
in the coming days face to face. We don't have
a lot more details besides that, but you can see
President Trump really getting tougher on Russia and its oil
trade right now. And India is unless they change their policies,
they're going to.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Bear the front of it.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
That is another interesting story from the media world, but
it's also a big business story. Disney is buying the
NFL network and it's going to combine it with its
ESPN channel. You know, Disney owns ABC and ESPN along
with all those other Disney properties. Now, in return, the NFL,
which owns the NFL Network, will get a ten percent
stake in ESPN. Now this sounds like a marriage made
(23:37):
in heaven. It makes sense ESPN heavy with sports content,
especially the NFL and the NFL Network, and on and
on down the line. But I have a word of
caution for the folks at Disney and for anyone who's
investing in Disney based on this investment. The NFL is
America's absolute most powerful entertainment addiction, rich, poor, white, black,
(23:57):
foreigner American born doesn't matter. The NFL is extremely popular.
But what is popular about the NFL The live games,
the warm up shows, the talk shows. The NFL Network
literally has a show called Good Morning Football.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
All those shows.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I'm not saying they're not entertaining in some way or another,
but that is not anywhere near as popular as the
live programming. And that is why the NFL network isn't
as big a cash cow as people thought it would be,
because they only have some live games on the NFL Network,
actually a very small number. It's the games we want
to watch, not all the warm up shows. I mean,
we'll watch it for a half hour, but not six hours,
(24:33):
and not six days a week, and then the game.
That's not what the public wants. That's not what the
market has been showing it likes. I don't know if
ESPN is going to make is making such a smart
movie here by buying more chatter like this, buy more games.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's great, but chatter.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Maybe I'll be wrong. We'll definitely see how that turns out. Okay,

(25:34):
that it's April through June quarter. Their profits during that
period not so good, fell by fifty percent compared from
the same period last year.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Now this is due to eat weaker electric vehicle sales
and tariff costs now and this just in Honda isn't stupid.
They're responding to this news by plans to phase out
some of its EV models. I've reported on that here
for you here on Moving America in the last few
months to cut back on some of their EV production.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's smart.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
And it's also looking into adding third shifts at its
US plans to get more tariffree products to its customers.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Again, Honda not stupid.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
They're looking at these numbers and it is adjusting and
this could be good for more jobs or at least
more overtime for a lot of the Honda workers here
in the United States. Okay, we now finally have a
list price for the twenty twenty six Chevy Corvette ZR
one X. Been talking a lot about this amazing vehicle
on this program. The coup will have a base price
(26:32):
of two hundred and seven thousand, three hundred and ninety
five dollars and the convertible will have a base price
of two hundred and seventeen thousand, three hundred and ninety
five dollars. Now, based on all the reviews, forget about
what I have to say. Based on all the reviews
by the car experts and the car magazines and websites,
this ZR one x is performing extremely well against much
(26:53):
more expensive brands. Many people, because of that are calling
the ZR one X a bargain because it's only at
the two hundred thousand dollars range. It's less than half
the price of some of the cars it's competing against.
But it is the first ever GM car, by the way,
to list for more than two hundred thousand dollars. And Lord,
please make there be a day when I consider anything
at two hundred thousand dollars or more.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
To be a bargain.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But that is what a lot of people are saying
about this amazing car, all right. Sometimes the mainstream media's
props come back to haunt it.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
This is a problem about to show you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
One of the key industry websites for auto Neews is
autonews dot com, and there you see it.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
They have a graphic there every day.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It's very helpful actually, that shows the average marketed price
of a car or truck in America, all the vehicles.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
You can see right there.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I say it a little bit under fifty thousand dollars,
and they tell you whether it's up or down for
the day.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
As you see there, it was.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Actually up zero point three percent just for that day,
not much. And then they show you the change since
April first, against Sorry, that's the first graphic. Now here's
what I mean by coming back to buy it. Autonews
is run by Cranes. It's a mainstream media operation, and
they started this graphic using it to the April first day.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Can you guess why?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Because that is when that was the month that President
Trump announced all the tariffs. And I think that they
thought this graphic would be showing eye popping numbers like
twenty thirty percent increases in prices.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And you can see from that graphic that I.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Just showed you only a zero point three percent increase
in all vehicle prices in America since April, when the
month when those tarifs kicked in again. That kind of
is a backfiring to me, if I were the Trump administration,
I'd be publishing that number every day. I don't think
that's what Crane's and Auto News had in mind when
they started that graphic. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think
(28:37):
they were trying to stick it to them politically.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And it is backfired.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Okay, here's a question, are you good at naming new products?
Because Ford is looking for what it calls a nomenclature strategist.
That is, in other words, they're looking for people to
give names to some of their new cars and SUVs
that they that they have on the production line. Cool
names like Bronco, like Maverick, like the F one fifty Raptor,
(29:00):
but they don't want Spoiler Alert is another Edseel. I
don't know who would Ford decided to call it the EDSIL.
I think it was Henry Ford himself naming it after
his son. Not only was that a bad car, but
it is still like a punchline. If you're a certain
age in America, the word Edsel makes you laugh as
soon as you hear it. So if you want to
name a car Edseel, don't apply for that job. Think
about Bronco, raped or stuff like that. You're good at it.
(29:22):
Inquire within at Ford, All right, coming up? Is there
anything that we're trying to do to fix education in America?
Is there anything that we're trying to do to fix
the whole country gonna work if we don't fix education.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
First, I'm gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'm gonna talk about some solutions with someone who's been
making that now his entire life's mission. When American Sunrise
Early edition comes right back, It's Thursday, August seventh.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Here this morning's top story.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
As an army sergeant opens fire on five of his
fellow soldiers at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Some other soldiers rush
to tackle him, and the alleged shooter is in custody.
His five victims are expected to survive. The suddenly interested
in the Epstein case, Democrats flowed a story that Vice
President Advance, FBI Director Patel, and White House Chief of
(30:20):
Staff Susie Wilds were planning a meeting to discuss the
Trump team's next move in the Epstein saga conspiracy. Well,
Vice President Advance calls the story totally fogus. Apple CEO
Tim Cook comes to the White House bearing gifts, in
this case, hundreds of billions of dollars in new manufacturing
in the US, including some key components of the iPhone
(30:40):
that will be American made in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And cracking down.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
President Trump is warning that federal authorities may take more
control of Washington, d C. If the city's crime problem
doesn't get any better. American Sunrise Early Edition continues. Now,
welcome back to this Thursday here in American Sunrise Early Edition.
Thanks to all of you who are watching and commenting
(31:08):
on the Getter and Rumble apps, watching on some of
these other many many apps, many many ways to watch
this program live or at your own leisure. So wherever
you are in your day, thank you for joining us,
but especially those of you joining us live and commenting.
Joining us right now is Pastor Donald Eeson. He's the
president of CURE that stands for a Center for Urban
Renewal and Education. It's that letter E that really got
(31:29):
my attention, because a renewal is a good thing to
be trying when it comes to our public education in
this country. Now, look, I talk about this all the time.
We can talk about racism in this country all we want,
but the real systemic racism that's still around.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I believe, is in the public school system.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Only in the public school system are Democrats really continuing
to be willing to let it continue to fail because
they feel like I guess, they have more allies in
the teachers' unions. And now is as bad as Baltimore,
But lately even President Trump has been giving Baltimore is
an example of what I was just talking about, because
Baltimore recently found out that in forty percent of their
(32:10):
public high schools, there isn't one single student who was
testing as proficient in math pastor Easton. This is a
This is the real systematic racism problem in America, isn't it.
This is where we need to stop talking about some
of the other stuff going on, like what goes on
in Jean's commercial, and start addressing this.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Am I right?
Speaker 7 (32:32):
You one under percent correct? Jack, Thank you so much
for having me on your show. Education is a huge
issue in our country. And I'm from Detroit and one
of the issues that you see is when it comes
to education. The statistics that you just mentioned, no one,
not one person is proficient in math and watch poord schools.
That says that Federal Department of Education has really failed
(32:56):
our students. It started in nineteen seventy nine and our
scores have gone down since and so it's not working
for the American people, and parents are looking and you
can see why parents will be looking for a way
out because the school system is not working for them
now in most school systems.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know, it could also I mean we're talking about policy,
and I know you mentioned nineteen seventy nine when we
created the Department of Education, and we'll talk more about
the new leadership there in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
But is this also.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
About attitude more than anything else, the idea that people
of all political stripes in this country seem to be
okay with this. I mean, I know that there's people
who are outraged about it when their parents and their
kids are in a bad school system. But when I
talk to people on the street or at or community gathering,
I see them pounding the table about a lot of issues,
and a lot of them are very important. I'm not
(33:49):
discrediting any of it or throwing cold water on it,
But rarely do I see someone who's saying, like, oh
my god, the school only a couple of miles away
from me is putting out students who can't read. Or
I mean, is it an attitude thing that we need
to get people? I mean, I hate to get people
upset and angry. That's not I hate when people do
that in the news business. But maybe just to tell
people like this is as an urgent an issue as
(34:10):
any other, maybe even more. I mean, we're talking about
billions of dollars, maybe trillions over the years, and we're
talking about thousands and thousands of kids just in your neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
Frankly, well, you know, it's a big issue. I don't
know if you're familiar with Thomas Soli wrote a book
back in twenty twenty called Charter School and Its Enemies,
and he said there are over all approximately one million
students on waiting lists. So parents see it as a
big issue. And you're right, from the legislators or the
(34:39):
Democratic legislators kind of want to own the children. And
when you look at it from a scripture standpoint, the
Bible says parents raise up your child and the way
that should and when they are old, they will not
depart from it. It is the parents' responsibility to raise
their children. And really the public school system is partnering
with the parents. They don't own this student. They don't
(35:01):
own the child. The parents are the primary responsible person
for raising that student. And you can see that parents
are waking up and seeing something is wrong.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I love debunking mainstream media myths and lies and really
mainstream cultural lies in this country. And one of them
is that the school voucher programs, that these school value
programs that are basically just for red Southern states, for
religious fanatics. But let's talk about this brand new story
out of New Hampshire. That's not a southern state. That's
the state that's voted for Democrats in the presidential election,
(35:36):
at least we think they have. There might be some
chicanery going on there, that's another story.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
But New Hampshire has recently.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Expanded the eligibility for certain families to get into a
school voucher program. Guess what, pastor Easton, It's sold out,
over subscribed in a minute. And I think that this
is another example of what you were just talking about.
This is not just about some kind of trick to
steal the mind so that you can put it into
a church school or just something that radical right wing
(36:03):
people care about. New Hampshire had an over subscription to
their school that I mean, what does that tell you?
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Well, I mean it's not surprising. As as we mentioned
earlier time of sold in this book over million over
million students on waiting lists, so it's not surprising that
it sold out almost immediately in one minute. I know
that program is set up in New Hampshire to increase
by twenty five percent once they reach a cab which
is a good thing to continue to increase it, but
(36:32):
parents will continue to look for options for their children
to get a better education, and that is one of
the primary goals here in Detroit specifically. I know when
you talk to parents, the number one thing is they
want they want to put their students in safe schools
as well, and so that's what that all. That program
also allows them to take them out of school that
(36:52):
they feel is not safe and put them in a
safe school. So I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, past Resent, I'm not here to demon people or
demonized folks, but I'm sorry you do have to talk
about the hurdle here, and that means I have to
talk about the teachers unions in America led by people
like Randy Weingart, and she gets demonized and sometimes she
deserves it and sometimes she doesn't. But I wonder if
this is even getting through their heads. Do they even
understand the point of view of a parent? And the
(37:20):
reason why I'm asking the point of view about the
point of view of a parent is, you know, I
know the history of the teachers' unions in this country,
and before the mid nineteen sixties, they were not like
an auto workers union or a factory union within that
way they are now. And what changed them was that
in the mid sixties here in New York, you started
to have teachers getting attacked, often by parents. This was
(37:41):
a definitely out of the ordinary thing, but of course
it really galvanized these unions.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
They were being physically attacked in some cases. And that
is why I believe.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
The Teachers Union since then, because of the way they
were set up and the time that they were set
up and rejiggered. I should say, they are really not
really in partnership with parents, like you were talking about.
They really see parents as enemies more than anything else.
I wonder if that's your experience as well. It just
feels like they're on the other side because they think
that at the end of the day, we're against them
(38:11):
and might even threaten them.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
The administrative state has grown exponentially over the years. A
number of teachers have gone down, a number of students
have gone down, but the administrative state has increased, which
says that they are more about protecting themselves than protecting
and partnering with our students. So that is a big problem.
So that's why you see parents over the last several
(38:35):
years this big outcry about what's going on in their schools.
I can remember when I was I was back in school.
I just want to say this from a ministry standpoint.
They gave us a Bible, there were some morality taught
in schools. They've gone on a different track today, and
so absolutely the unions, and I don't like to deem
(38:58):
nize people either. However, the unions are or at least
appeared not to be on the side of the parents.
And since parents have the primary responsibility for raising their children,
they're really partnering with the parents, or they should be
partnering with the parents and listening to what the parents
have to say and what they want.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Pastor Let's talk about another person who's getting demonized these days,
and that is Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. They're basically
getting on her because they are dismantling, as we know it,
the Department of Education and getting rid of a lot
of the employees who, as you said, that department's been
around since nineteen seventy nine and our education quality in
this country overall has not improved, certainly through no thanks
(39:42):
to the Department of Education in those few.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Cases or schools where it has improved.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
But you know what, she's being demonized. But here's what
I see because I've been following what she's been doing.
I've been seeing her looking and visiting individual schools, alternative schools.
So she's been doing that quite a bit, looking at
some of them, including one not far from my home
here on Long Island that is an amazing place called
the Schoolhouse.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
She's doing a bunch of things like this.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
What would you tell her if you were in the
room with her right now and say, here's what you
should be also looking at.
Speaker 7 (40:11):
I would say, one, keep doing what you're doing. You
can tell she cares about our students. She cares about
our public school system. We want choice. She cares about
the parents having an opportunity for better education for their children.
So I would tell her to continue going around the states,
going around to the different states, having the conversations with
stick parents in local communities on what this mantle of
(40:35):
the Department of Education actually means, which means sending the
dollars back to the states, or the states having control
of their education system. You know, before nineteen seventy nine,
students will getting educated. So the Department of Education wasn't
needed then, and it's I don't think it's needed now
to the great extent is being overrunning our states. States
(40:57):
need more control than their schools because states know what
they need. For example, here in Michigan, Detroit being at
one time the auto industry capital of the world, Well
what do wash students. Students need here they need to
learn in that area, and in other parts of the
country they should say, Iowa maybe is farming. I don't know,
but we just have to give more control back to
(41:18):
the states because it's just hard to run education over
the entire country. From Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yeah, I've always felt the Department of Education should be
merged with the Department of Labor. Let the people who
are experts on employment and jobs tell the schools some
of the things that they might want to look into,
and not force it, but let them know that this
is where things are going.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
That's really what should also happen.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Pastor donnalleis and president of CURE, the Center for Urban
Renewal and Education, thank you so much for joining us.
We're going to have you back on real soon, hopefully
to talk about some improvements in education in America. Thank you,
Thank you so much, Jake, thanks for having coming up.
Is Washington, DC about to become the first ever testing
ground for a president trying to directly fights crime. DC
(42:01):
area resident and hopefully not a crime victim. David Brody
will join me to discuss that. When American Sunrise Early
Edition comes right back, you're looking at.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
A live shot of the White House.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Here on American Sunrise Early Edition, you can see the
flag is blowing in the background, but not in the foreground.
I'm always worried about the humidity in Washington, d C.
I guess I'm a little bit over concerned about that.
I should be more concerned about the crime in Washington,
d C. Listen, it's not ever I can ever remember
time when in the actual district of Columbia there weren't
major crime concerns. I think it's gotten a lot better
(42:45):
in some ways than it was thirty forty years ago,
but apparently it's taking a turn for the worse in
recent recent years. Joining us right now is David Brody,
and I want to talk to him because he is
a DC area resident, hopefully not a DC area crime victim.
But I'm talking about maybe federalizing the cops doing something
because he was very rattled by that former.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Employee of DOGE who was.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Jumped by some kind of gang of guys on the
street not long ago and injured. Look, you know, to me,
the issue in DC has always been that sure, it's
you know they don't it's it's you know, they get
three Electoral College votes. But it's really it is sort
of fund It is completely funded by the federal government.
They've always had a police force that was hit or miss.
(43:28):
I always thought it was a problem of accountability. You know,
there was a mayor of d C, but usually it's
a one party city. You know, I have all these
examples here. What you know, you're there, what are on
the ground. Is Is it as bad as it was
in the late seventies early eighties like I remember it?
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Or are we just back where we started?
Speaker 8 (43:44):
Well, first of all, when I say it's better, let's
let's qualify better. Okay, I mean we're going to go
to back to Merriam Barry and some white powder and
all that type of stuff. Okay, it's not that.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (43:56):
Actually a total violent crime down about thirty five percent
over last year, but juvenile crime is up. It's a
big problem. So that's some of the dynamic there. Look,
there's a lot to unpack here. First of all, Jake
Let's be clear, Trump can easily just call him the
National Guard. As a matter of fact, DC is the
only out of all the territory states and all that
(44:19):
it's the only one where the president they report to
the President the DC National Guard. So he doesn't have
to go through mural battleser on the National Guard, on
the DC Police, it's different. He can do this under
special circumstances for about thirty days. I say about it
actually says in the statute Home Rule Acts has thirty days.
He can call in the Metro DC Police and that's it.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
Then he's done. Then he has to get an.
Speaker 8 (44:41):
Act of Congress literally an Act of Congress to go
forward after thirty days. So what I see what Trump
doing here is once again, and it always filters back
to the art of the deal. Everything with Trump is
the art of the deal. It's all about negotiation, it's
all about a power play, it's all about staking after claim.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
And this is what Trump is doing. He wants to
see movement, whether it.
Speaker 8 (45:01):
Be from the DC City Council or just overall in
general about making sure DC becomes quote great again. And
the way he does that is he uses the bully
pulpit to get a little bullyish, if you will, with
the folks in DC. Because here's the thing with Trump
and the beauty of Trump, and this is the beauty
of the art.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Of the deal, is that he just might do it.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
They know it.
Speaker 8 (45:25):
They know he'll do it because you know what, he
was on the roof the other day, So heck, what
the heck he'll do anything. I mean, this guy is
one of a kind. So the point is is that
he knows where the leverage points are always and so
I just think not that it's bluster, because bluster suggests
that he's not going to do anything. I think he
will and can do something and will do something if
(45:45):
something doesn't move. But to get them to move, he's
got to start talking pretty provocatively. And this is definitely
provocative talk.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Yeah, and what a difference it is. I mean, again,
this continue do you talk about? Everything is the art
of the deal. Much of what happens just keeps reminding
me why this guy was able to win over the
Republican Party first and then a majority of the American voters.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Remember George H. W.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Bush, George Bush Senior, talking about crime in DC, holding
up a packet of crack cocaine that.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
He said this was. This was seized just a few
blocks from the White House.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
He was talking a talk, but nothing ever happened. He
didn't ever threaten to federalize law enforcement in Washington, DC,
and he certainly never did it.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Love it or hate Trump.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
He does a lot of these things that he talks about,
and people like that action.
Speaker 8 (46:31):
Yeah, and just remember and not gonna be quick here.
But of course during the campaign, we remember the famous
line when he was talking to African American members and communities,
he come in and go, what the hell do you
have to lose? I mean, this guy one of a kind.
We're living We're living literally living history. Not like Hillary Clinton,
but we are living history.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Yeah, listen, spoiler alert, voters like action, action, action, You're
gonna get some more action in the next two hours.
American Sunrise Early edition comes back tomorrow.
