Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ahead on American Sunrise early edition.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We're beyond signing ceremonies and now the Trump policies are
going into effect.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
That includes ICE agents beginning to.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Find and deport illegal aliens at multiple locations across the country.
Pink slips are also going out across Washington. That includes
the firing of the Coastguard commandant. A number of other
Biden appointees are also getting the boot, and many unfirable
bureaucrats are getting reassigned. All DEI policy officials, for example,
(00:34):
have been put on leave. Meanwhile, someone is trying to
give a job, I would say a snow job on
Pete Hegseth thanks to another last minute accusation against him.
But this time that strategy doesn't seem like it's going
to work.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Here's something that is working Wall Street.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
The first day of trading and for Trump's second term
is marked by a big rally for stocks and declines
in oil prices and interest rates. And that was before
the President announced the new massive AI.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Investment here in America.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Meanwhile, as people continue to suffer in Los Angeles from
the fires and in North Carolina from the lingering flood effects,
President Trump announces he will visit both devastated regions beginning
on Friday. American Sunrise Early Edition begins now.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom,
and the values that built this nation takes centers.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
To your good deeds and bad deeds. That's how we're
gonna judge you.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the stories
that matter.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
He will be letting the public know regularly what we
have found.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak starts now.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Welcome to American Centerriser Early addition. I'm Jake Novak.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Thank you so much for joining me and also joining
me right now is former New York State Assemble Me
and Dove, Hike and Doe. Before I get to the
specific issues of today, because they're coming fast and furious,
I want to get your overall comments about the beginning
of this Trump returned to the White House and what
you're most looking forward to over the next four years. Basically,
(02:27):
he's already done four years of work, I think in
the last thirty six hours. So you don't have to
be too extensive because it's just.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Going to happen.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But just your overall impressions and what you're kind of
expecting right now, Trump full day two.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Right now, I think what has already happened and it's
only a day or two, is rather extraordinary. And it's
very very very obvious that Donald Trump, the four years
in the White House that he had, that he just
moved right in.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
He knew what he had to do, he knew what
he had to say.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I mean, he made so much happen on day one
that there's not much to do the next couple of years. Uh,
I'm kidding. But the point is, I am very very
excited about an America that will be strong, an America
that will that its allies will be able to depend
(03:22):
on it. It's just a whole different world. It's it's
it's everything about Donald Trump. It's about the people that
he has appointed. If you listen and.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Watch the new ambassador to the UN.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Uh uh, the new Secretary of State, odd and on
and odd, it's like it's refreshing, it's the sun shining,
it's a new day. It's it's just remarkable and very
very exciting to see what is unfolding.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
You know, as as Donald Trump has said, America is
back greater than ever, And I think that that's pretty clear.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
All Right, let's get into specific stove. We certainly know
there is no shortage of challenges for Trump to take on.
But let's talk about one challenge you and I know
a little bit more about, and that's the threat to
all of us from anti Semitism.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Here's a look at yet.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Another incident that happened just yesterday at Columbia University, at
my college alma mater. Other than the football team, I'm
just not proud of that school anymore anyway, mass people
coming into a classroom and just being allowed to disrupt
it with lies about Israel. There is something President Trump
has just done to combat this. But before I ask
you about that, can you tell our audience you know,
(04:37):
your take on this incident, because I know you've got
some specific things you wanted to say about it.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, I look, you know, it's obviously it's horrible the
people that are coming into the room. I mean, for
God's sake, they could be they could be there to
do really horrible things, real violence. They're worrying those masks,
those kafeas. But let me tell you what struck me.
I'd like to see the Jewish students, be a little tougher,
(05:03):
a little stronger. I mean, I was watching the video
and I saw one of these students take the the
you know, the piece of paper they were handing out
that was horrible. Uh, and and and walk over and
give it back to the bad guys. Where's the toughness,
where's the strength? You know, we gotta be proud and
(05:24):
we gotta be strong. Take the piece of paper, put
it on the floor, you know, put your stomp stomp
on it, and so on. It's all, you know, we Jews,
it's all so nice and sweet. The only person in
that video, I said, you know, God bless her is
the young lady who rips the document off the blackboard.
She walks over, she's angry. Uh, you know, everybody's videoing it.
(05:48):
Why not be a little tough, Why not push these
guys out of the freaking room.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So, you know, students, Jewish students, we gotta be tough,
we gotta be strong and not you know, run for
cover and be afraid. You know, look at look at
the young ladies. She's actually confronting that person. Everybody else's
video wing. One guy is handing back the paper to
the bad guys. So I'd like to see a change.
(06:15):
You know, we can depend on government to deal with
these radicals who are intimidating people, violating the rights of students,
of Jewish students, but we need to be tougher and
we need to be stronger.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Jewish strength. The Jewish fist can work.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, you know, and you're allowed to shout at them
all right now, let's talk about the related, very related
Trump response to this. One of the executive orders or
directives President Trump has signed calls for deporting foreign students
who protests for Hamas.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Your thoughts about that measure, Dove, I need it.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Make all the sense in the world. I mean, if
someone is supporting a.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Terror restoredgans is defined by the State Department, that person,
uh uh, you know, who's here in this country as
a guest. We get rid of them. We put them
on the first plane out of here, back to where
they came from. It's a no brainer, and it's so simple.
And you know something, once you do things like this,
(07:21):
that will be a powerful message to so many others
who think they can violate the rights of other people.
It's not about freedom of speech, it's about violating the
rights of other people. And these people are here as guests.
They have no right to be here their guests, and
if they can be proper guests, you throw them the
(07:43):
hell out of America.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, you know, we talk about this all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
The answer to anti Semitism and all bigotry is law
and order. It's not that they came into a class
to be anti Semitic, it's that they came into a
class that disrupt it.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
If those kids.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Knew that they would be expelled or punished for sure,
just for disrupting a class, this would never happen.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
There was another strong blow you referred to it a
second ago against anti semitism coming from the Trump team yesterday,
and that was the performance of UN Ambassador Designate et
last Dephonic. She was at her Senate confirmation yesterday. Here's
just one highlight where she really denied that there's anything
really good left in the UN.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I really love this part.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Check it out because if you look at the anti
Semitic rot within the United Nations, there are more resolutions
targeting Israel than any other country, any other crisis combined,
and we have significant national security councils. The anti Semitism
whether it's UN women failing to condemn Hamas's terrorist attack
and terrorist regime against innocent civilian women, using rape and
(08:52):
targeting women, specifically taking them hostage. I am overjoyed that
those three young women hostages were returned home. We need
to stay committed to every hostage is brought home. I've
met with many hostage families this position. We need to
be a voice of moral clarity on the UN Security
Council and at the United Nations at large for the
(09:12):
world to hear the importance of standing with Israel.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Dob you know, I say the UN has actually never
been a good institution. Ask anyone who remembers the Korean
War or lost a loved one. But I'll go one
further and say this, The UN isn't evil because of
its anti Semitism. It's anti Semitism is because it's evil.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Look, you're right. And Stephanic, what a superstar. I mean,
she hit a grand slam on every single level at
the United Nations. You know, it's common sense. We all
know what the UN is all about. I mean, it's
hatred towards the Jewish people, towards the state of Israel.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Everybody is familiar with.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
They are pre occupied with blaming Israel for everything, trying
to censor Israel, et cetera, et cetera. So how refreshing
is it to a Stophanic speak so clearly, unequivocally, you
know how you know? The truth is really powerful, isn't it.
(10:19):
And that's what Stephanic was doing at the United Nations.
By the way, I agree with you. If the United
States pretty much left the UN, how would that affect
anything in this world? Whereas the UN really played a
role in keeping the peace or making sure there's no war.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
I mean, you know, tell me where, when, how, and
so on and so forth. Just the opposite.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Many of it's like UNRA and other parts of the
United Nations actually our counter productive.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
They are harmful. So if the United States were.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
To leave the U and completely, you know, we'd save
a hell of a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Thing would really change. It would be a powerful, powerful message.
We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, you know, I mean it's a serious question now.
I remember thirty years ago when we first heard people
talking about this with the UN, and it was a
kind of almost a joke, even for people who are
opponents of the UN. Yeah, we'll get rid of that
building and then we'll have some nice real estate in
midtown east on Manhattan, overlooking the East River and.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
All of that. But no one.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I don't think anyone was really serious about it. I
really think now, if I were released Stephonic, I would
say I would go further as soon as she's confirmed,
and say, we're going to give this.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
One more shot. UN.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
For the twenty four billion dollars that we shovel just
to some of your programs alone every year here in
the United States, We'll give this one more shot, one
more session. And I don't see this moving in a
positive direction. We really are going to think about withdrawing.
We really are forget about think about it. We really
are going to start the process of withdrawing from this
institution that is a net negative for the world. Again,
(11:57):
I use the Korean War as an example, Dough, because
that was the early early days of the UN, and
I think and it definitely played a role in how
the United States conducted a war. Forty nine thousand American
troops died in the Korean War, and I'll be darned,
and anyone can be darned if they can explain what
the heck we were, how that war was fought, and
why we got out when we did. It makes no sense,
(12:18):
all right, Bob to me thirty seconds. Any any final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Anything else I'd like to say about all that.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
I would say, Jake that one of the things about
the UN that I've always thought about is that it
gives jobs to tens of thousands of people from over
one hundred nations, jobs, well paying jobs.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
That is it. There's nothing more about the United Nations.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
They have big buildings, big offices, big salaries, and guys
who wear wonderful suits and ties. In terms of anything else,
it's a waste of our money, a waste of our time.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
They're pathetic. Period. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And by the way, that area around the UN no
good restaurants because all those UN people have a million
free cafeterias in that building. It is a food desert.
I used to work around there. All right, Dove, hike
and thank you so much for joining us. Have a
great rest of your week.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
All the best, My pleasure.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Coming up.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Why are some of the pardoned January sixth prisoners still
in jail? Well, look at what's going on at that
DC Detention Center and some folks were very much affected
by this video and the story of a migrant seeking
refugee status who was reportedly.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Turned away from a schedule asylum.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Meeting Monday because of the new Trump administration's rules. There
was only one problem with that story.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Can you guess what it was?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
American Sunrise early edition will be right back with an
answer and more. Super Cold at the Capitol, DC is
(14:00):
having a little bit of a moment right now, shocked
that Donald Trump's actually doing things. I think they thought
it was just going to be lift service, but it's
happening for real, all right, Welcome back. Despite President Trump's
pardons for about sixteen hundred January six protesters, the DC
jail seems to be slow walking many prisoner releases and
may still be doing that right now. Our ben Berkwem
(14:22):
spoke to some former j six convicts and others outside
the jail to get their reaction.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Check it out.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
Any other police force would have had him removed instead
of promoted and exonerated, so you know, we absolutely need
an investigation into him. But of course, you know Biden
pardoned him on the way out the door too, so
you know we're waiting in front of this jail because
as usual, you know, DC has been torturing these men
and women for the whole time they've been in there,
and they continue process. These men should have been out
(14:49):
before midnight last night, and yet these jack boot thuggery
people behind us just continue to prolong the process. You know,
we were out here till one o'clock in the morning
last night, was freezing, but we were doing it, you know,
with with great glee, expecting to see our people come out.
We we do have a house here in d C
that we call the Eagles Nest, which is very much
(15:10):
not an ode to Hitler, and we won that war,
so we took the name back. And you know, we
were lucky enough to receive Stewart Rhodes and the Lego Man,
and you know, we have we have have been housing
some Jan six political prisoners as they get out and
we have been able to you know, welcome them back
to the community. But the guys behind us still waiting
(15:31):
and still waiting and still waiting because that's how DC
does things, because they're used to doing whatever they want
to do, and now that Trump's back in power, they're
going to have to dance to a new tune too,
you know, to answer to some regulations and some some uh,
you know, a new sheriff in town.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
All right, We're going to keep the updated about this
process and try to get to the bottom of it,
whether this is just an administrative delay or something else.
I am hearing about all kinds of objections from the
bureaucrats at that jail.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Still not everyone else, so we'll keep you update on that.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Of course, the mainstream news media and the Democrats are
freaking out about these pardons. The Democrats even released a
statement depicting all the JA six protesters as violent, conveniently
leaving out the fact that a majority of them were
bullied into taking plea deals that categorized them as such,
and they had to take those deals out of fear
that they'd get even harsher sentences if they didn't. Now
(16:23):
that is sparking a backlash of another kind from critics
who are noting that those same Democrats have issued no
statement protesting the dozens of Joe Biden pardons issued over
the past week that freed or cleared people who actually
killed police officers and FBI agents. One of the loudest
critics by the way is Virginia Governor Glenn Younkin, who
(16:47):
remains outraged over Biden's pardon for a cop killer from
his own state. No discussion from the Democrats about that,
even though Biden's on the way out. That's okay. But
Jay six protesters getting pardoned. That's an act emergency to
these people, all right. Another day, another lie exposed in
almost real time thanks to an open social media platform.
(17:08):
It turns out that the Washington Post story about a
migrant seeking asylum who was brought to tears Monday when
she learned her asylum consultation meeting was canceled, presumably because
of meet old President Trump. Yeah, that story wasn't true, because,
as any child of five could have told you, US
government offices are closed on Martin Luther King Day.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Duh.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
There was no scheduled appointment that day. But that video
of the crying migrant went viral.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Anyway. Compassion is one thing. Being taken for a fool
is another.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I want to talk a little bit about this just
for a second. Now, let's say the story was true.
It wasn't, but let's say it were true. There are
always going to be some people who are losers in
a process and a new policy for the greater good.
Here's an analogy. Let's say one day, God willing, we
cure all kidney disease in America. Should we show video
(18:06):
of the janitor at the dialysis center who's crying.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Over the lost job. Well, I feel do feel sorry
for him, But should we not cure cancer? Cure kidney disease?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Makes no sense? All right, folks, that's really a good
way to understand it. Coming up the markets give a
big thumbs up to President Trump's new policies, but it
was something he didn't do or didn't do yet that
really sparked yesterday's rally.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I'll explain, and this just end.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
If you want to revive a dying brand, bring back
the products people like to buy. Chrysler g Parents Stalantis
is doing just that, starting with the good old gas
powered Dodge charger.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Remember this baby.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
American Sunrise early edition is coming right back. The Jefferson
Memorial there in Washington, d C. Tip for all you young kids.
(19:06):
That's a great date spot, but not when it's this cold.
Do not go there when it's cold, but when it
gets a little warmer. A good place to take a day,
all right. Let's take a look at where the markets
will begin.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Today.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Looks like we're going to have another positive open on
the markets, especially on the tech heavy NASDAC and Day
one for Trump was pretty good. But yesterday's market rally
may have been more about something Trump didn't do or
maybe hasn't done yet, and that comes to these tariffs.
And you know, President Trump, a lot of people were
worried about the tariffs that he might impose. On day one,
(19:38):
investors seemed happy that he did not do that and
only sent February first as a possible date. Set February
versus a possible deadline for slapping Canada and Mexico with
twenty five percent across the board tariffs. The stock markets
whether Trump's first term tariffs, by the way, pretty well,
don't forget. Trump slapped tariffs on a lot of countries
(19:58):
in the first term, and the markets well, but there's
always a wave of uncertainty surrounding these kinds of moves. Also,
at ten percent tariff on China may go into effect
in February, but the markets are betting that this won't
be so bad, and so they reacted positively. And they
still look like we're gonna have another nice strong open
this morning.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
All Right.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Wall Street also seems to be.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Ready to rise and support of a massive new AI
infrastructure project right here in the US. President Trump announced
the up to five hundred billion dollar project, which will
be known as Stargate yesterday.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
He did it.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Along with SoftBank CEO Masayoshi San He's that Japanese guy
who makes all these investments in foreign countries and foreign technologies.
Open Ai CEO Sam Altman, who's no friend of the Republicans,
but he showed up for this, and Oracle co founder
Larry Ellison. Stargate's first joint venture will be to construct
data centers in Texas that Oracle's going to oversee, and
(20:53):
that's an effort that's already underway now. Ellison took to
the podium to explain a little bit more about the project.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Check it out.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
AI holds incredible promise for all of us, for every American.
We've actually been been working with open Ai for a
while and with and Massive for a while. The data
centers are actually under construction, as in the first of
them are under.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Construction in Texas.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Each building is a half a million square feet. There
are ten buildings currently currently being built, but that will
expand to twenty and other locations beyond the Abilene location,
which is our first location. The kind of applications that
we're building to give you an idea, maybe the most
charismatic and the ones I think touches us all is
(21:40):
electronic health records. Not just maintaining electronic health records, but
by looking at electronic health records, understanding the condition of
the doctors, better understanding the condition of their patients, and
being able to provide healthcare plans there are much better
than the otherwise would be a doctor in Indian River
Reservation would be able to see how a doctor at
(22:03):
Memorial Sloan Kettering would would treat the patient, or a
doctor at Stanford would treat the patient. We actually provide
all of that information, all of that guidance to the
doctors who are treating cancer patients or patures of any
other kind of disease made possible by AI. I'm not
going to take a lot of time, I'm going to
(22:24):
I'm going to pass it to MASA. But this is
a very exciting program for Oracle to be a partner of.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Imagine that technology to give doctors choices and options almost
as good as your fantasy football programs. And I'm half joking,
it's amazing that this hasn't been done before. President Trump
added that a big plus connected to all of this
is that it keeps critical AI technology and the potential
for key tech jobs here in the United States. This
(22:53):
is also a national security issue, not just a tech
and not just a business issue.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
All right.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Moderna is also so the beneficiary of some big money today,
but not so much from outside investors.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Money's coming from you and me. It's the US government.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
In one of the Biden administration's last moves, it is
granting Moderna five hundred and ninety million dollars to advance
the development of its bird flu vaccine. That's in addition
to one hundred and seventy six million dollars it received
from the Biden team last July for the same product.
Moderna share has jumped five percent higher and yesterday's trading
on the news this is a bird flu epidemic that
(23:31):
a lot of people are worried about.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Of course, a lot of.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
People don't have a lot of confidence in the Modernas
and the fiveses of the world after what happened with
the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
But there you go.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
It's guiding almost a billion dollars in last minute money
from the Biden administration when you count July and what
happened at the end of last week. All right, Chrysler
Jeep parents Stilantis, that's the company that owns Chrysler and Jeep.
By the way, now they may finally be getting serious
about improving the company's fortunes. Here's the brilliant idea, give
(24:00):
the customers what they want, shocker. That includes plans underway
to revive the discontinued Jeep Cherokee model again, the Cherokee,
not the Grand Cherokee, which never went out of production,
but the regular Cherokee did.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And also Stalantis is.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Bringing back the gas power, not the electric Dodge charger,
the gas power Dodge charger, a.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Classic muscle car.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Stalanta's shares rose three percent on that news yesterday. They
have a long way to go, however, Stalanta's shares are
still down forty percent from where they were just a
year ago. There's a lot of layoffs at Stalanta's plants
in Michigan going on right now. In Europe they're having problems,
but this could certainly help them. This is certainly a
policy they should have been acted a long time ago.
(24:42):
Now back to the Trump tariffs story, A new report
says President Trump's main reason for threatening Canada and Mexico
with those twenty five percent tariffs is something we haven't
talked about before. Apparently the main reason was to get
American car makers to bring back auto plants in those
countries to the un Now, it's one thing for some
US car makers like Tesla to have factories in Asia
(25:05):
to sell to Asian markets and Asian customers. That makes sense,
but the Trump team has always found it particularly galling.
The cars meant for the US customer base are made
more cheaply in Canada in Mexico, and this is a
growing trend that President Trump wants to end.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
So that may be what these.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Tariff threats are all about in the end, not necessarily
about a major political change, but just trying to encourage Ford,
GM and Stalantis to move some of these auto plants
back to the United States, even if it's not all
of them.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
All right, speaking of borders, did you see this one of.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
The clergy women leading a service marking the new administration's
arrival in Washington took it upon herself to lecture President
Trump from the pulpit at the National Cathedral.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Check it out.
Speaker 10 (25:48):
Let me make one final plea, mister President, millions have
put their trust in you, and as you told the
nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a
loving God. In the name of our God, I ask
(26:09):
you to have mercy upon the people in our country
who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender
children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear
(26:29):
for their lives. And the people the people who pick
our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in
poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes
after we eat in restaurants, and work the night shifts
in hospitals. They may not be citizens or have the
(26:51):
proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
That was Episcopalian Bishop Marian Edgar Buddy, who has a
Episcopalian population in DC. Of all of thirty eight thousand people,
there are more people watching the show right now repeating
a tired trope of irrelevancies and some inaccuracies about illegal
immigrants in this country but you know, compassion only seems
to go one way with these naive and sanctimonious people.
(27:20):
Where is the compassion for the people who live in
the border towns. Where is the compassion for the doctors
and nurses in emergency rooms in border towns. Where's the
compassion for the school children and the teachers in schools
in the border towns. We want to be compassionate to
all people as much as we possibly can, but that
doesn't mean we open our doors in our neighborhood to
(27:40):
anyone who just wants to come in.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
That's not how it works.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Also, by the way, when you do that, it encourages
some of the exploitation of these people.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
She mentioned meat packing plants.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Illegal immigrants are employed at those meatpacking plants, a lot
of them across the country. They are exploited, They are
paid sometimes less than minimum wage. This is who we
want to keep coming into the country. It's not right,
and I don't think she really understands the issue. I'd
like her to visit a border town for real and
see what that's like. All right, Speaking of migrants, Illegal
migrants in cities like New York are bankrupting local governments,
(28:13):
but will any of the city leaders help the Trump
team do anything about it, and don't hold your breath.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
And the backlash against rappers and.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Other black artists who performed at the Trump inaugural celebration
goes further than just what other celebrities get. We'll explore
the high price black men are being forced to pay
simply for exercising their political and free speech rights. American
Sunrise Early edition is coming right back. It's Wednesday, January
(28:54):
twenty second.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Here are some of the.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Top stories this morning. On day one, President Trump freed
the innocent. Now he's going after the guilty.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That includes sending.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
ICE agents who are beginning to find and de poort
criminal illegal aliens at multiple locations across the country.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Call it the hegseeth.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Hail Mary, the Defense Secretary designate, faces a possible new hurdle,
but it's a familiar mo another last minute accusation suddenly
discovered by the Democrats. But this time that strategy doesn't
seem like it's going to work. But here's something that
is new. Pink slips are going out across Washington. That
(29:34):
includes the firing of Coastguard commandant.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That's her right.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
There a number of other Biden employee appointees are getting
the boot, and many of the unfirable DEI policy bureaucrats are.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Being put on lead real change folks.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
And why is it that black men who keep getting
the most pushback? Why do they get the most pushback
for having even the slightest thing to do with President Trump.
It's a question we need to ask in light of
the attacks everyone from celebrities to ordinary blackmail voters are enduring.
American Sunrise Early Edition continues. Now, welcome to American Sunrise
(30:15):
Early Edition.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I'm Jake Novak.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Thank you so much for joining us here for the
second half hour of the show.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
And joining me now is Republican strategist Vanessa Simon.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Vanessa, let's start with reports that actual deportations are now underway.
Now we know the Democrat news media is freaking out
about this, but do you think the American people will
really object in significant numbers to this? I think this
is a popular policy. Maybe I'm crazy, how about you?
Speaker 11 (30:41):
I mean, I'm right there with you, Jake. I almost
feel like we're in the twilight zone. Why wouldn't we
want to comb through immigrants coming in, making sure that
we're getting rid of anyone that is has a.
Speaker 12 (30:54):
Criminal background may cause us harm.
Speaker 11 (30:57):
We all are out here shopping right Like the last
time I went to a Costco home depot.
Speaker 12 (31:02):
The lot of these migrants are just looking for work.
You don't know who's safe.
Speaker 11 (31:05):
They're approaching you without warning, like there are real safety
concerns here. So I'm very concerned hearing that. People are like,
oh my gosh, Ice, like why would we want that?
And it's like, we do want that. We never said
we don't want to provide any kind of asylum, but
we want to make sure that we're getting the best
quality immigrants that are here in our country that aren't
posing a threat to our safety, in our families, lives
(31:29):
and quality of life.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah, I mean the same people who are saying you
need to do four hours of training in your job
every year to make sure you're not harassing people are
committing microaggressions? Are okay with someone just approaching you like
you said in the parking lot of a Costco of
a home depot, And again, I think that almost all
the people doing that are probably safe and okay. But
what if they're working on something in your house that
requires you know, code training all that kind of stuff.
(31:55):
I mean, if someone wants to be an HVAC technician
in my house, they have to go through a lot
of training to make sure that breaking all the environmental rules,
let alone the other rules. But it's okay if someone
just comes across the border with no verification or anything
else like that.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I mean, the hypocrisy is really beyond belief.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Speaking of deportations, thanks but no thanks, Mayor Eric Adams.
He's been complaining for months and saying a lot of
smart things about the illegal migrant problem in New York,
just like he said a lot of smart things about crime.
I remember in twenty twenty two, but he never called
for securing the border.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You remember, remember that?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
And now he's saying the city can't help ICE do
its job when deportation efforts begin here in the city
and they might be already underway. Vanessa, I'm calling it,
Mayor Eric Adams is officially useless.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
What's your take.
Speaker 12 (32:45):
I mean, I'm very disappointed that that's the case.
Speaker 11 (32:47):
I mean, we absolutely I'm in New York City, I
work in the city. The city and it's decline is
because of just the amount of migrants that are everywhere,
and it's just it does not feel safe in Manhattan anymore,
and the fact that he's saying that he will not
be cooperating. It is critical that we secure our borders.
(33:08):
It is critical that we get crime under control, especially
in New York City. We are the mecca of the world.
We are not a sanctuary city. We should never be,
especially in this state right now that the world is
in So I'm very, very disappointed and Mayor Adams at
this point.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, I mean, this is his track record, Vanessa.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
You know when he was a cop, and a lot
of people, if you talk to anyone who is an
NYPD and knew Eric Adams, they'll tell you that he
was just a politician wearing a uniform al him. He
never actually really worked as a cop. He was always
kind of an activist within the department. But you know, again,
there's a corollary to this, or there's a similar traditional
thing that he's done here, or at least you know.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
That's his mo.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
He said a lot of things about Alvin Bragg, the
Manhattan DA in twenty twenty two, about how he was
letting people out of jail and how this was very dangerous.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
To the city.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
And then when people asked him, Hey, as mayor, would
you call Governor Hochel and asked her to remove Alvin Bragg.
You just said he's a major danger to the city,
and he wouldn't do it. I mean, what would have
cost him, By the way, let me give you the answer.
What cost him nothing. His poll numbers would have soared
through the roof of he had done that. So I
just don't see any action on his part. He's really
interesting because so many Democrats today won't even say the
(34:18):
verbotan thing that he said. So we're happy that he
says a bunch of stuff but then never actually acts
on it. I mean, you know you're a political strategist.
Don't you think this would have improved his political fortunes
if he had done something something about this.
Speaker 11 (34:31):
I mean, I think that's the most glaring thing about
Mayor Adams. His inconsistency is like he is one day
this says nothing. The next thing, next day he's saying
something else. Very inconsistent. I believe the writing's on the
wall for him this year, and it's not looking good.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
No, all right, on the bright side, because I know,
you know this woman New York's very own et least
Deefonic blew everyone away at her Senate confirmation hearing, and
she will become our new ambassador to the UN.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Don't worry, she's gonna get confirmed.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Now.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
In the last half hour we got into the detail
of what she had to say specifically, But I want
to talk to you about her and about how a
she's really maybe an example of a new kind of
Republican woman and what she represents, what Stephonic represents.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Do you think she can help.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Launch the careers of some other women like this common
sense conservative types, not the old school Republican woman politician.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
I have to.
Speaker 11 (35:22):
Say, at least an extraordinary job yesterday. She made me
so proud as a Republican woman in this country. Common sense,
clear message, highlighting what's important, and just poised. And I
think that, like you shared, it's giving win to like
we're not a monolith as Republican women, and she's leading
(35:45):
that and did an extraordinary job yesterday.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Now let's get to a more sensitive topic.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Listen, we know American's politics are polarized right now, and
we know there are so many Americans suffering from Trump
derangement syndrome. It seems like black men are attacked the
most viciously if they even have the most remote connection
to the president. Now that's true for celebrities like Snoop
Dogg and Nelly all the way to regular black mail voters. Vanessa,
(36:13):
I wonder if you can explain this phenomenon, because to me,
it feels like the left is expressing its demand to
almost literally own the black mail vote, or maybe the
whole black vote in America.
Speaker 11 (36:25):
I mean, that's what's common with Democrats, like anyone that
stands against what the narrative is correct. I mean, it
makes more sense than ever for rappers of the black
community in general for us to want to resonate with
like everything that comes with Donald Trump's just platform, just
regarding wealth, the American dream, like success, A lot of
(36:48):
that you.
Speaker 12 (36:49):
Hear in the music with rap music in general.
Speaker 11 (36:52):
So like rappers like Rick Ross that really champions wealth
and entrepreneurship, like these are the things that when I
think of like the Trump platform and outside of Maga,
just Trump himself, it's all about just success, right, So
the correlation is there. It's very unfortunate that the amount
of backlash that's being received, it shows the household divided,
(37:18):
you know, what I mean, like we have like black
women who showed up. I believe it was like ninety
three percent in favor of Kamala Harris. And then you
have the most blackmails that came out to vote for
President Trump. And you start to see that with the
amount of backlash that Nelly, Rick, Ross, Soldier Boy and Snoop.
(37:38):
What was interesting about Snoop is Snoop's on record being
anti Trump. So this has like a two prong effect.
It's like you have someone that came out and supported Trump,
as in Snoop, but he also changed his mind.
Speaker 12 (37:51):
And I get it.
Speaker 11 (37:51):
It was a stark one eighty because he was so
against President Trump. But then you have him performing at
this ball But at the end of the day, he's
for the commander in chief, right, He's committed.
Speaker 12 (38:02):
He is performing for our president.
Speaker 11 (38:05):
But I think that's why Snoop received the most backlash.
But in general, like you said, like it's always the hypocrisy,
Like it's so one sided. Why is it that this
party that champions like inclusivity and having an open mind,
like they will not allow black men to come forward
and support whomever they want openly, unwaveringly. And it's it's
(38:29):
just so, it's it's it's the hypocrisy, it's it's it's wild.
Speaker 12 (38:34):
I just I can't say it any better. And it's
very disappointing.
Speaker 11 (38:39):
Right, It's either you're a Democrat as someone of color,
or you're like the Antichrist, and that's.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Not cool, you know.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, listen, this is more than just wishful thinking. I
know this isn't going to happen, but by all rights,
when you take a look at the results of this
last election, this should be the end of identity politics
in America because so many people crow lost. These lines
that were supposed to stay inside of Latina voters you
mentioned black mail voters. It doesn't work. Not because there
(39:09):
isn't an argument to be made about certain communities wanting
to have a bigger voice, but because this kind of
stuff doesn't work. Everyone just wants a better and freer America.
And I know you know this story, Vanessa, the famous
story about Michael Jordan when he was asked to support
a very left wing candidate for the North Carolina Centate
race back in the nineteen eighties, and his response I
think has been unfairly interpreted. His response was, well, Republicans
(39:30):
buy my shoes too, buy shoes too by sneakers too.
And I think people think like, oh, he just cared
about the money. Actually, I think what Michael Jordan was
saying was Republicans are people too. They have a right
to look at me and look at my product and
not have to think about politics all the time. And
that's what I think Snoop Dogg deserves. That's what everyone else,
if you just want to again, they're performing for the people,
(39:50):
not for a political party.
Speaker 11 (39:53):
Absolutely, I wholeheartedly agree, and that was what was represented.
Just unfortunate that it's creating such a division. Nelly had
to literally come out and put out a statement same
social Bory. They were just like, hey, we just wanted
to celebrate America like he won. President Trump is in office,
so let's forge this path forward.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Vanessa another saying that I say all the time, there
is no such thing as a non religious person. You
can either be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, one of the other religions,
or you will choose another religion. For so many people, politics,
in this case, leftism is a religion, and so they're
looking at people who go to an inauguration event as
people who have committed an act of heresy.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
That's how they're acting.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
If anyone who knows anything about religious history knows what
I'm talking about. No such thing as a non religious
person in America or anywhere else. Just let me talk
to you for a few minutes and I'll find out
what your religion is. It's usually If it isn't Christianity,
Judaism or Islam, it's probably narcissism. Or maybe you follow
the New York Jets because and that's a loser religion.
By the way, I'm the part of it. Sorry about that, right,
Vanessa Simon, Thank you so much for joining us, and
(40:57):
I can't wait to have you back on the show.
Speaker 12 (40:59):
Thank you for having me. Thanks Jake.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
All right, coming up another special appearance from Terrence Bates.
Twice in one week. I must be doing something right.
He'll be back to join us in just a moment.
Speaker 9 (41:32):
Who was serious about that?
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Adition. I'm Jake Novac.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
That's the classic Joe Peshi as my cousin Vinnie speaking
to the judge after the judge told him, you know,
dress up properly next time, and.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
He said, you were serious?
Speaker 6 (41:48):
About that.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
I feel like all of Washington, DC is now having
a my cousin Vinie moment when it comes to the
Trump administration. They are saying, wait a minute, you were
serious about that. President Trump is really firing Biden appointees.
President Trump is really reassigning the unfiable bureaucrats that you
can't fire.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
But he's maybe he's sending them to the mailroom.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
He is putting all the DEI enforcement employees on indefinite leave.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
He was serious about that.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Vinnie.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
All right, joining me right now to talk about that
is Terrence Bates. Terrence, I mean, you know, it's you know,
we have a tough job, you and I because we've
got to document all these changes. But for now, let's
call time out for a second and just talk about
how this is stunning DC, because I think it really is.
Speaker 13 (42:32):
Yeah, well, let me just say this. I'm already lost
on all the changes. There's so many of them, so
I just piecemeal it. I go day by day and
try to just take a quick bite out of very
small ones, and by the time these first one hundred
days are over, I'm sure we'll have the entire meal.
So look, it's promises made promises kept from President Trump. Yeah,
he said he was going to do it, and now
he's starting to do it. And one of the stories
(42:53):
that we're working on actually for what you call the
big show here in the next couple of hours is
tariffs against Mexico, Canada as well as China. President Trump
made those promises. He's doubling down on it now. In fact,
we're going to have a SoundBite with him coming up
here in the next hour in which he's saying, China,
get ready by February first, I'm going to slap you
with a ten percent tariff. So again, he is very
(43:15):
serious about those things that he said on the campaign trail,
and I think he's showing that not only in the
executive orders, but also in his actions. And mind you,
we're not even a week into the administration. We're literally
a couple of days in forty eight hours in and
he's already moving it.
Speaker 6 (43:28):
Lightning or warp speed.
Speaker 13 (43:30):
I think we heard that once before, even though we
weren't really happy about that warp speed reference back then.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
You know, change, if I were a Polster and I
went to the people every four years and ask them
what I would consider to be an incredibly simplistic question
and just said, would you like change? I mean, what
would the number of people who say yes from now
all the way back to the nineteen fifties say I
eighty percent? Now everyone wants change when they're voting right,
and now you're actually getting it. Yeah, you're really getting it.
(43:59):
And I think that Listen, a lot of us are
happy about this. I have no personal hatred for any
federal employee.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
I don't know too many of them.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
I have over the years, but at this very moment,
I don't know a large number of federal employees, so
I don't have any personal malice towards them. But what
about the structure of the government is working for us?
We're forty trillion dollars in debt. Every war we have
fought since the end of World War two has been
inappropriately fought, hasn't really been explained to the American people,
(44:28):
and we have tens of note hundreds of thousands of
people of our just our American troops dead over it.
What about this structure in DC is worth this incredible
devotion that people like Larry Sabatou and we should have
respect for it. I'm not saying we burn it all down, literally,
but it's not working for us, Terrence. And people vote
for change and have been voting for change for decades
(44:48):
in this country. Now you get it, and they're going
to try to demonize it. Not us, but our colleagues
in the mainstream news media. Makes very little sense to me.
I mean, I know why they're doing it, but I
don't think the public's going to buy it.
Speaker 13 (45:00):
What you're saying reminds me of a statement you just
made in your last segment that everyone has a religion,
that there's no such thing as a non religious person.
Speaker 6 (45:08):
Everyone has a religion.
Speaker 13 (45:09):
Well, when you look at the word religion broadly, it
means that you do something repeatedly, you do something time
after time after time, and that's largely what we see
in government.
Speaker 6 (45:18):
It is a religion. It has become a religion.
Speaker 13 (45:21):
And people do things religiously in our government because that's
the way it's always been done. And President Trump is
shaking that up right now.
Speaker 5 (45:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
And of course, religion to me also means food.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
If you're going to leave, If you're going to leave
one of the traditional religions, whether it's Christianity, Judaism, or Islam,
choose one. That has good food, and this just in
politics and food are bad. I mean the food that
you get at those political events. They call it the
rubber chicken circuit for a reason. That's why what else
do you have coming? You tease that you've got a
sound by from President Trump on the teris what else
are you looking forward to in the Big Show coming
(45:53):
up in just a few minutes.
Speaker 13 (45:54):
Absolutely, and we're looking at President Trump there at the desk.
Obviously a letter was left addition religion, if you will.
The presidents leave a letter for the person coming after them,
and we're going to talk about that for their successor.
We're going to talk about the letter that President Biden
left President Trump.
Speaker 6 (46:13):
We're working to find out what's in it.
Speaker 13 (46:14):
We might have some ideas, and we'll be sharing that
for you next here on the Big Show.
Speaker 6 (46:18):
That's what Jay calls it.
Speaker 13 (46:19):
Doctor Gina, David and I we're gonna have a good
time and talk.
Speaker 6 (46:22):
About those things and so much more looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Oh, you're getting the regular band back together.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
We've missed all the we've missed the combination of the
three of you because of all the inauguration stuff. So
it is David, Doctor Gina and Terrence coming up. I'm
Jake Noova going to say goodbye right now for American
Sunrise Early Edition.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
I remember you got to stay tuned to Real America's
voice all day because.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
The change is happening, and it's happening fast, and.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
You're not going to get it documented in the Washington Post,
that's for sure. Thanks so much for joining us. American
Sunrise is coming up next
