Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ahead an American Sunrise early edition. President Trump puts in
a ninety day pause on the tariffs, and Wall Street
responds with its biggest gains in years. But will the
gains hold when the market opens today? Of course, the
tariffs are not being delayed for one country, and that's China.
Trump hits Beijing with even bigger tariffs instead, and now
(00:23):
it's looking like the entire trade antrium was all about
China all along. It's your move, president. She The back
in session House hands President Trump a victory with a
vote to advance his big budget bill to a final vote,
but it's not at all clear if it will pass
in the end. The budget hawks are angry. Two more
(00:47):
so called elite universities are facing the possible loss of
hundreds of millions and maybe billions of dollars worth of
federal funding. This time, the Trump administration is looking into
Cornell and Northwestern and how they handle the anti Semitic
riots on their campuses masquerading as anti Israel protests, And
(01:08):
a Facebook whistleblower tells the Senate just how deeply Mark Zuckerberg,
Cheryl Sanmdberg, and other Meta executives colluded with communist China.
Some people in Congress are now calling for a criminal probe.
American Sunrise Early Edition starts now.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith,
freedom and the values that built this nation takes center.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Stack your good deeds and bad deeds.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
That's how we're gonna judge you.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the stories
that matter.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
He will be letting the public know regularly what we
have found.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak, starts now.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Good morning, I'm Jake Novak. This is America Sunrise Early Edition.
Is it just me? This has been a fast week.
It's already Thursday. I can't believe this. A lot has happened.
I guess that's why. But we got to get a
handle on what's happening. Joining me now is International Women's
Forum fellow Nicole Kipperlove. I call her the Maven and
ben Hassett because she's in Man Hassett and she knows
a lot of stuff. Nicole, I want to start though,
(02:20):
with the look at where we can expect the markets
to open it in because the world has been focused
on the markets most of the time, they're not but
let's take a look what we're expecting, and it is
an ugly open again, despite that twenty nine hundred point
gan on the now yesterday. Now, this is obviously just
a small fraction of that twenty nine hundred points starting
at six eighty, so it's about twenty five percent of
a takeoff from that gain. But it looks like investors
(02:42):
are are looking to be a little bit more cautious again.
But once again I must focus everyone on gold. Look
at that thirty one twenty seven on gold, up another
percent and a half, and that's a big deal. Crude
oil down went up again over sixty bucks an how
we're at sixty bucks a barrel. And let's look quickly
at bitcoin for those of you, because that was a
big gain on bitcoin yesterday as well, and I believe
(03:03):
that bitcoin came in. Yeah, they're back over the eighty
thousand dollars mark, but it's down again today about a percent.
All right. Not going to ask you for stock market advice, Nicole,
but I do want to ask you about this reaction
to the tariffs from Wall Street. I still think this
has been about ninety nine percent Wall Street and about
one percent Main Street reacting to this. So far, we
(03:23):
haven't seen those changes yet when we go to the store.
But do you think that's going to change? And do
you think that President Trump was really looking to just
target China all along? Because remember yesterday he paused the
tariffs on everyone but China.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So I think it's a little bit of everything here.
I do absolutely think putting pressure on China was a
major priority for the Trump administration. For President Trump, I
don't think we've seen that being done, and certainly not
in the last four years under the Biden administration, who
was incredibly weak in the face of China threatening arnational
(04:00):
security and again with these tariffs. Look, I think what's
really important to point out here is that this is
and this is what pretty much a lot of people
who understand this much better than I do have said,
this is short term pain, long term gain. I think
President Trump has been in a position here where he
hasn't really had much of a choice. Right he has
(04:21):
to do this. He has to reinvigorate the economy because
we can't keep going down this path. We have lost
our industries, we have lost our jobs. This is putting
America first. We want to bring back all of our industries. Yes,
it's about China, but it's about the rest of the
economy as well. It's about the rest of these benefits
that these tariffs will bring into this country. And I
(04:44):
think that's going to take a while to actually see.
No one is denying that this is painful. There's a
lot of uncertainty when it comes to these markets. But
you need to feel this discomfort to experience long term success.
And again, President and Trump wouldn't need to be doing
this if Obama and Biden hadn't put us in a
(05:05):
position to get taken advantage of, not just by China,
but by other countries as well. You know, I don't
think President Trump was You know, I don't think President
Trump has any other motivation to do this except to
help the American people, to help blue collar workers. He
wants to stop the hollowing out of the middle class
(05:26):
because he loves that. He loves this country. And one
last point here, I think it's really important to go
back to the beginning here. How did President Trump start
his business background? He got one million dollars from his
father and turned it into a multi billion dollar business.
He clearly knows what he's doing. He knows how to
(05:47):
negotiate the art of the deal. Right, this is what
this is. It's a negotiation. And if there's anyone I
trust to negotiate on behalf of the United States and
to put this country first, it's the president.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah. I wish it was just by the way. I
wish it were just Obama and Biden who got us
into this mess. It's seven decades of presidents from both parties, frankly,
and I think there's also a little bit of a
conditioning going on here. It's not just to try to
get China to treat us fairly on trade, but it's
also maybe to get the American people to start weaning
us off of our reliance on a bunch of Chinese imports.
(06:23):
Not all of it is junk, but a lot of
it is. It hasn't really helped our culture, it hasn't
really helped America in the long run. But we've got
to start weaning ourselves. We basically we're kind of addicted
to it, and we've got to get off of it
if we're going to survive as a nation. Reminds me
of what people said about President George W. Bush when
they said he should have told the American people maybe
drive less, maybe use less oil, or at least demand
(06:43):
that we pump more oil here in the United States.
Neither one of those things happened when he was president,
and we know the results of that. All right, let's
get to Congress for a second, because they got back
to work this week. Briefly, I think they're going on
vacation again in a couple of days. But they Republicans
in the House did advance the so called Big Buddy
bill that President Trump likes to a final vote, but
I think it was only a one vote majority. It's
(07:05):
not clear whether this thing is going to pass the
full House. What do you think about fiscal conservatives like
Thomas Massey and the others deciding to stand on ceremony
here because they're angry that there isn't enough budget cutting here.
But do you think they should give Trump a little
bit more slack because of things like DOGE that are
working very hard to cut spending. Maybe they should factor
that in before they vote no on this bill.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, I think they also have to consider that this
is just a first step. They can get their spending
cuts down the line once the budget reconciliation process is unlocked.
This is just a blueprint, and look, these negotiations are hard.
As Speaker Johnson said, this process isn't a cake walk.
But the bottom line is that everyone has to get
(07:50):
in line and support President Trump's agenda because this is
the most America first, common sense agenda that we've seen.
And we want more spending to strengthen our military for
the purposes of national security. We want more funding to
secure our southern and northern borders. We can't afford to
(08:10):
lose more lives to violent trender Ragua gang members, or
to fendyl olv rddoses as a result of a northern
border that isn't secure. We need to reinvigorate the economy
by cutting taxes, helping small businesses. So passing this is
the Again, it's a blueprint. It's the first step in
preventing a four trillion dollar tax hike, which is what
(08:34):
the Democrats want. And we have to ensure that the
twenty seventeen tax cuts are extended because if they're not,
the average taxpayer Jake would experience would have to deal
with a twenty two percent tax hike, and that's the
case for ninety one percent of Americans. So the overwhelming majority.
(08:55):
So this is a critical part of President Trump's agenda.
Like I said, to preserve job growth, keep the economy
stimulated very much a part of this bigger economic plan
where tariffs are also a big part of this. This
is another part of this, right. So it's all very comprehensive,
and frankly, President Trump is correct here that the Republicans
(09:18):
who oppose this bill, like Massey the others who you
just said, should stop grandstanding because this is a budget resolution.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
If the House passes it after the Senate already passed it,
it unlocks reconciliation, like I said, so there will be
that opportunity to add more spending cuts down the line.
I do believe President Trump absolutely wants to do that.
I don't see any reason for any Republican to be
opposing this right now, for anyone to be opposing it
(09:48):
right now. This is a first drap and President Trump,
as always, is engaged throughout this entire process.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah. I mean, I have a warning for both Republicans
and Democrats who don't want to sten these tax cuts.
You can pretend that they were for millionaires and billionaires
all you want. The fact is the key part of
the twenty seventeen Trump tax cut tax plan was the
doubling of the standard deduction basically for blue collar America,
for people who don't itemize their taxes. This is something
(10:16):
that not only the Democrats don't talk about for obvious reasons.
They don't want to admit that President Trump was helping
the working men and women in this country. But it's
something that Republicans and even a lot of Trump supporters
don't talk about enough. If you are a Trump' sup
order or if you're just a supporter of the working
man and women in America, I don't really care who
you voted for. Please remember that the existing tax laws
(10:37):
under the Trump administration's first term double the standard deduction
for people who don't itemize their taxes. That's basically blue
collar America, that's basically middle America. The first successful trickle
up tax cut that the Democrats talked about a lot
and never delivered. If you vote against this, you are
really declaring war on working America. And I don't care
if you're a Democrat or Republican, a budget hawk or not.
(10:57):
Nicole is one more story I want to get to
because with all the all the hullabaloo about Tyrus this week,
people have forgotten that there was really an interesting development
in this whole transports argument. Look, Americans in every poll
don't overwhelmingly don't want boys in girls sports, don't want
boys in girls' locker rooms. But the governor of Maine,
Janet Mills, even though our own state is also very
(11:18):
much against this, is really doubling and tripling down on
her fight with President Trump over this. Remember, the Trump
administration wants to pull some funding from the state of
Maine until they do something to protect women in women's sports,
girls in girls sports instead of not. And not only
is she not listening to this, she's suing the Trump
administration over this. This is something that her own voters
don't want. Please help me out here, what is this insanity?
(11:40):
She's committing political suicide.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
In my opinion, I think that's exactly right. And look,
President Trump understands signing this executive order to ban biological
men from women's sports. It isn't enough. There has to
be an enforcement mechanism. That's what this is. It's the
enforcement mechanism. Pulling federal funding is how to put pressure
on Maine to get this done. And the governor of
(12:02):
Maine suing the Trump administration over this will get nowhere because, frankly,
Janet Mills should be referred to the DOJ and prosecuted.
She's violating Title nine, she's violating the Family, Educational Rights
and Privacy Act, and several other laws. And she's doing
a horrible job representing the people of Maine. No surprise there.
(12:25):
There was a study recently done by the American Parents
Coalition and it found that sixty three percent of Maine
voters registered Maine voters said that school sports participation should
be based solely on biological sex, and sixty six percent
even higher said that women's sports is only for biological women. Now,
(12:48):
there was also a letter jake by fourteen Maine state
senators that was sent to President Trump. I believe that
was on Monday, and they condemned the governor for continuing
this lunacy. They're in touch with their constituents, and they
said in their letter that the people of Maine don't
support her radicalism clearly. So it's really important that state
(13:09):
governments comply, you know, expanding this beyond Maine, comply with
President Trump's executive order here and if you don't, you'll
get your federal funding pulled. And the Senate, by the way,
needs to pass the federal Senate needs to pass the
House passed legislation to protect women and girls, because that
bill failed in the Senate, which is reprehensible and disgusting.
(13:30):
There's no reason for that. So my point here is
there's still a lot of work to be done on
this very very critical issue.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
All right, listen Okam's raiser for those whore trying to
figure this one out. Listen, Maine is a poor state.
They need every penny at federal funding that they get.
For the governor to be doing this, she's either being
pressured by the DNC and threatened or someone's paying her.
This is just Please, let's not try to pretend that
she has any kind of real moral interest in men
playing in girl sports. It's the dumbest thing. This is
(13:58):
suicide unless she's being three or someone's paying her off.
And this is true of all the Democrats in these
states who are doing this, and someday, hopefully someone will
get to the bottom of why they did this. All right,
Nicole Kiprolof, thank you so much for joining us. It's
only Thursday, but I'm gonna say happy weekend to you.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Thank you, Thanks Jake, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
All right? Coming up, just how far did Facebook's top
executives go to collude with the Chinese regime. You'll hear
the details from a key meta whistleblower in a few moments.
And first there are heroes and then there are hero rats.
I'll explain why this critter is a real lifesaver for real.
When American Sunrise Early Edition continues, it's a live look
(14:58):
at the control room. Those guys like the low in
that control room, and they're ready to work every day.
And these are young gen Z guys who come to
work really early in the morning. There's hope for the
next generation. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm
Jake Novak again. A special welcome to those of you
watching and commenting on Getter and Rumble Hey. Every day
there's another excerpt released from that new book purporting to
(15:20):
be the real inside story of how the Democrats pushed
Joe Biden out of the twenty twenty four presidential race
and inserted Kamala Harris in his place. Every day they're
trying to high pipe this book. The latest Hues revelation
is that the Harris team was worried how Trump supporters
would react if Joe Biden died during the campaign after
Harris took over, So one of their brilliant ideas was
(15:42):
to get a list of all potential Republican judges who
would swear in Kamala Harris as president if Joe Biden
passed away. They thought that would plicate all the Trump supporters.
First of all, I can't think of almost any judge,
Republican or Democrat, who wouldn't swear in a vice president,
a sitting vice president when a president died, no matter
(16:04):
what their politics. I don't know what that would really
say to the American people or Trump supporters, that hey,
we got a Republican judge to swear in, big deal.
That's their duty, that's his or her duty. I really
I can't imagine almost any judge at any level who
would refuse to do that, no matter how much they
disliked Kamala Harris and her politics. So that's one thing.
And second, this continues to be This book is called
Fight by the way, I continue. I think it is
(16:25):
a tremendous whitewash of the group that did this whole
coup to get rid of Joe Biden. The first of all,
they're trying to whitewash Barack Obama and make it sound
like he was against it all along, because of course
she lost. I don't believe that for a second. And
this story doesn't really make that much sense to me either.
Who cares what Judge swears in a new president? Nobody cares.
This is really a strange book. It sounds like a
(16:47):
lot of spin to me. Needless to say, I'm not
buying all right, Hey, are any of you noticing this
massive new interest in the Menendez brothers. These are the
two kids. They were kids back then who murdered their parents,
and again, this is something they were tried and convicted of.
I'm really getting a little bit sick of it. I
understand that there was a moment when the previous DA
(17:09):
of La County Gascon said that he was thinking maybe
they would take a look at giving them a parole
because they are in prison for life without parole. So
I can understand that was a discussion, But that was
months ago that that district attorney said that, And he's
not the district attorney anymore. And I understand that there
was an interview with these two guys the TMZ got
and I think ABC News put it on or someone
(17:30):
else put it on during the week. Folks, don't fall
for this either. People who are in prison for life
love to get attention. That's all they can get at
this point. Sure it's possible they could get parole, but
it's very very thin chance. This was an egregious case.
These two brothers were found guilty beyond any shadow of
a doubt. Don't fall for it. If you see any
(17:51):
more publicity about this, just move on. There's a lot
of causes in America that are more important than the
Menendez brothers. That's all I can say. All right, now,
I have some good news for you. If this story
doesn't make you smile, then you are officially incapable of smiling.
See a doctor. If you have to meet Ronan. This
is Ronan the rat. Ronan is a rat who was
detected one hundred and nine land mines and fifteen items
(18:14):
of other unexploded ordnance since twenty twenty one. This is
a hard working rat. He is a valuable commodity in
his home country of Cambodia, one of the most heavily
mined countries in the world. They still have a lot
of active minds in that country. Ronan works with a
handler in the field, of course, you see, he's got
a little leash there. Rats like Roanan are trained to
sniff out chemicals and the explosives. Their hard work also
(18:35):
lets them cover distances at a quicker rate than a
human with a metal detector. So take that in New
York City, pizza rat, this is a rodent. We can
all get behind. Good job, Ronan, You've saved a lot
of lives. All right, Coming up, we'll check in on
Wall Street again. You know, hold your breath. It's not
going to be that pretty. And when we open I
guess not. It changes every minute. After that massive rally
that we had yesterday, I don't know if it's going
(18:57):
to continue today. After President Trump delayed his part announcement.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
A remarkable new lawsuit claims a major Palestinian businessman lauded
as a positive symbol for peace was really actually financing
Hamas all along. But can the plaintiff's wind American Sunrise
early edition is coming right back. Beautiful shot there of
(19:37):
Fort Myers, Florida. Beautiful day in Florida today, I assume
because I'm here in New York where it's yesterday it
was just freaking cold. We are not having an early
spring here in New York, although we did have sun,
so I'm not going to complain. Let's take a look
at where the markets will begin today. Hey, we're a
little bit better than we were just a few minutes ago.
We were almost seven hundred points down on the Dow futures.
(19:57):
Now we're at five fifty seven, going in the right direction.
For those of you who are along the market, I
know some of you watching are short the market, em
betting against it. For those of you who know that
little stock market move so, I don't want to say
it's bad for everyone or good for everyone whenever the
market moves one way or the other. But I'm just
noting that. And again, gold really really the standout right
now at thirty one thirty one is basically right back
(20:18):
to its all time high. For those of you who
really heavily put your money into gold in the last
couple of months, you're feeling pretty smart. Right now. We'll
look at bitcoin just really quickly, because bitcoin is back
in that eighty to eight to ninety thousand range that
has been stuck in, and it was stuck in even
before all the tarre tumult Bitcoin. I mean, I guess
that makes it a safe haven. I don't really know,
but it certainly is not crashing. It didn't lose fifteen
(20:40):
percent like the markets did before that big rally yesterday.
All Right, Facebook parent Meta whistleblower. There's a whistleblower at
that company. Her name is Sarah Wynn Williamson. She appeared
before a Senate hearing yesterday and she lobbed a lot
of serious accusations at Mark Zuckerberg, Cheryl Samberg and other
top executives. Here were some of those charges. Check it out.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Members of the Facebook executive team or other employees at
Facebook Meta ever brief members of the Chinese Communist.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Party, Yes, Senator, regularly.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Exchange information with them.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Yes, Senator, What are some of.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The topics that they covered in these briefings.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
I mean, it's incredibly broad. So you had meetings at
the top executive level, so Mark and Cheryl and you
had meetings, you know, all the way down to you know,
regular engineers who would be providing briefings on cutting edge
technology like facial recognition, which is obviously very helpful to
the Chinese Communist Party. And you know Facebook Live, as
(21:40):
I mentioned, photo tagging, Internet infrastructure, sorry, like so how
to build effective data centers. So it was at at
every level, on every aspect of the many different technology
that Facebook has.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
All right, now, I just.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Want everyone to take one note here, you know me,
I like to put a little bit of a doubt
on people who have new books out when Williamson has
some very detailed accusations. I'm not saying that she's not
telling the truth, but she's also selling a book right now,
and there's been some questions about some other accusations in
the book. So again, remember, however, she was once the
director of public policy at Facebook, so no one is
denying she was in a position to know that this
(22:20):
was going on. But again, her book is called Careless People,
and it's been the subject of some litigation overseas. So again,
doesn't mean everything she's saying is true. I know it's
pretty credible and she certainly was in the position to
know these things, but again, grain of salt. Okay, here
we go with what's become a necessary check on how
big the US auto company cosocks are doing, and we're
going to hit the road right now, all right. GM
(22:54):
and rose eight percent yesterday, and the Dow and it's
down now three percent in the pre market. I'm just
giving you a little bit of a check because again,
this is unfortunately I would really much rather talk about
these amazing machines we're looking to hear on the screen
by it caught talk stocks Ford also gained eight percent
yesterday but is now down four percent. A lot of
them are giving back a little bit or half sometimes
(23:15):
of what they gained yesterday. Stalantis was a huge winner yesterday.
They're the owners of Price or Jeep and Dodge. They
were up eighteen percent yesterday, but they're down eight percent
in the pre market. And Tesla, the biggest winner of
them all, was up twenty three percent yesterday, down only
four percent today, so they're only giving back a fraction
of what they made yesterday, all right. More car buyers
are using seven year car loans to finance new vehicles
(23:38):
in the first quarter than ever before in America in history.
Dave Ramsey, the budget guy, he calls us a car mortgage,
So do I that's rough seven year car loan? Yikes.
But this is because of rising prices. The average transaction
price of a new vehicle in America forty seven thousand dollars,
more than forty seven thousand dollars in March. This is
(23:59):
why people are doing this. But again, seven years on
a car loan. If you have a seven year car loan,
there's a very good chance you will be underwater on
the loan very soon. That's when you owe more on
the car than it's worth, if you resold it back
to a dealer or even on Amazon or something. This
is a rough situation for America. Got to figure out
how to deal with this, all right. Next story. Here
(24:19):
are some good news stories though that I want to
tell you about. The number of deaths in car accidents
fell last year to the lowest level since twenty nineteen.
About thirty nine three hundred people died in vehicle incidents
in the US last year. Again, that's the lowest in
about six years. It's not yet clear why exactly the
numbers went down, because driving numbers were up last year.
But this is obviously a good thing. All right. Maybe
(24:41):
you've seen one of these trucks on the road and
wondered what was up. They're called squatted trucks. This is
when or Carolina squad, so that's the one. The truck
is modified to have a lifted front end and a
lowered rear end. It's called a lean back or something
like that. It's all for show. There's actually no real
functional use to this. This is just kind of a thing.
I guess well. State troopers and don't like these trucks.
(25:03):
They think they're not safe, and they're probably right. Arkansas
law is now banning squatted vehicles with bumper height differences
over four inches. Offenders face fines them up with to
five hundred dollars. They could get their license suspended. I
know it's the fun police, but let me know, on Getter,
if there's a good reason to have a squattered truck
that I don't know about, let me know and getter
and rumble, because I am not an expert on squadded trucks.
(25:24):
All right. Getting to another story now that's interesting about
American finances and the law. A man named Bosch Masri
is often hailed as the solution to the problems facing
the people of Gaza and the West Bank. He was
even featured on sixty Minutes in twenty nineteen as an
investor who wanted to redevelop Palestinian areas with amazing real
estate projects. But a new lawsuit filed by some of
(25:46):
the victims and the families of the victims of October seventh,
the terrorist attacks, say that Masri was really financing comas
infrastructure all along. But can that lawsuit really win? Joining
me now to talk about this extraordinary lawsuit is former
federal prosecutor Mitchell Epner. Mitchell, this seems like a unique
case to me as an amateur, because it's not going
(26:06):
after a state actor. It's going after an individual connected
to terrorism in a private lawsit in a civil lawsity.
So is this unusual to you or and do you
think it has any chance of succeeding?
Speaker 6 (26:17):
So there is a law that allows Americans who are
the victims of terrorist attacks to bring lawsuits. Ordinarily, the
big bar against those is that the defendants are often
either state actors or foreign people, so it's hard to
(26:37):
establish jurisdiction over them. Not going to use a whole
bunch of acronyms now, but ordinarily hard. This individual, this defendant,
is a US citizen and he is clearly here. So
then the question isn't about the procedure. It's about the
merits of the lawsuit. This lawsuit complaint is is one
(27:00):
hundred and eighty seven pages. It is literally over one
one hundred paragraphs long. Most of it appears to have
been taken from various governmental investigations of the October seventh attacks.
I would say it is if you wanted to read
(27:22):
about what Israel did wrong in making itself vulnerable to
the October seventh attacks, this is a very good encapsulation
of it. There's much less in it about what Masri did,
but what he allegedly did could potentially lead to liability.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
All right, you mentioned the state actors, and so I
want to talk about collections here for a second, because
we know that there have been lawsuits in the past.
I remember Iron was successfully sued by some victims of
terror here in the United States after bus bombings back
in the nineties, and I know that they won those cases.
I'm thinking of the Alyssa Flato case if you remember
that one. But I don't think they actually ever get
(28:05):
the money. That's not really the point here. What's your
impression or do you think they really are expecting to
get some money if they win the case or they're
maybe just trying to make a point.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I have no idea.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
I do know that Wilkie Foreign Gallagher is a serious
law firm. The attorney, Lee Lee Wolowski, is a very
serious person who's been in and out of government under
mostly democratic administrations dealing with foreign policy issues. Wilki Farr
(28:39):
hasn't said whether they've taken this case pro bono or not.
And the defendant is somebody with a lot of funds
who's a US person, So it is theoretically much easier
to get that money than to try to collect a
judgment against the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
All Right, A last question, because this also reminds me
of a case in the late nineties against the so
called Holy Land Foundation. This was a charity supposed to
charity that the US government found out this was under
the Bush administration, was really a front for Hamas and
people went to jail over this. If this lawsuit is successful,
any chance that someone like Masri could go to jail
(29:20):
over this or is this really just going to stay
in the civil courts?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
This reads to me like a civil complaint to boil
down what the complaint says that Masri and his companies
did wrong. What he allegedly did wrong was he allowed
Hamas to build its tunnel network in and through the
industrial park that he built near the Israeli border. And
(29:45):
there's no doubt that it was a real industrial park.
And in the wake of the Israeli invasion of Daza,
they appear to have discovered that the tunnel network which
was used by Hama in order to launch the October
seventh attacks by tunneling under and through into Israel and
(30:10):
then breaching the wall that went through this industrial park.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And that.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Is something that seems to me to be a plausible
argument for civil liability. I cannot imagine it being a
basis for criminal liability.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
All right, well, let's see how that works out. Interesting take.
This is going to be a case that a lot
of people are going to watch, that's for sure, all right,
mitche Epner, former federal prosecutor, thank you so much for
joining us. All right, coming on, the Trump tariff saga
is twisting and turning again. We got a historic rally
and that was the latest twist yesterday. But you know,
twists are more of than a common American sunrise early edition.
Will be right, back. It's Thursday, April tenth. Here are
(30:58):
some of this morning's top story. President Trump puts in
a ninety day pause on the tariffs, and Wall Street
responds with its biggest gains in years. Will the gains
hold when the market opens today? The back in session
House hands President Trump a victory with a vote to
advance his big budget bill to a final vote, but
(31:18):
it's not at all clear if it will pass in
the end. Two more so called elite universities are facing
the possible loss of hundreds of millions of dollars maybe
billions worth of federal funding. This time, the Trump administration
is looking into Cornell and Northwestern and how they handled
anti Semitic incidents on their campuses masquerading as anti Israel protests.
(31:43):
And breaking news, President Trump has secured the release of
Russian American ballerina Casina Carolina, who had been held unlawfully
in Russia after she gave a fifty two dollars donation
to Ukraine. American Sunrise early edition continues. Now, Hey everyone,
(32:06):
the IRS is the largest collection agency in the world,
and with April fifteenth fast approaching, it's more aggressive than ever.
In twenty twenty five, enforcement has actually ramped up, and
if you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, waiting
is not an option. The longer you do, the worse
it gets. Ignoring your tax troubles is the worst thing
you can do. April fifteenth marks another tax year that
(32:28):
has passed you by. Getting ahead of this now is
the smart move. But never never contact the IRS alone. Instead,
let the experts at Tax Network USA handle it for you.
Why Because not all tax resolution companies are the same.
Tax Network USA has a preferred direct line to the IRS,
meaning they know exactly which agents to deal with and
(32:51):
which to avoid. With proven strategies to settle tax problems
in your favor, whether you owe ten thousand dollars or
ten million dollars, Tax Network USA is a time jorneys
and negotiators have already resolved over one billion dollars in
tax debt. Talk with one of their strategists today. It's free.
Stop the threatening letters, stop looking over your shoulder, and
protect yourself from property seizures and bank levies. Don't let
(33:15):
the IRS control your future. Call one eight hundred nine
oh five eight thousand, or visit TNUSA dot com. Slash
rav April fifteenth is just around the corner at now,
before the IRS acts first, thanks for listening, all right,
Welcome back everyone to American Sunrise Early edition. I'm Jake
Novak again. Thank you for watching on Getter and commenting
(33:37):
on Getter and Rumble. Joining me now is Jared Stepman.
He's a columnist at the Daily Signal. And Jarrett, let's
take a look at where the markets are going to
open today, because you know it was great yesterday twenty
nine hundred point rally on the Dow. Wow, But the
last time we check, we were looking at more than
a five hundred point loss in the down There we
are again, bright spots are gold, and I consider it
(33:58):
as a gasoline consumer, a bright spot that crude oil
is down. Hey, Jared, look, it's been twisting and turning.
We've definitely had a major reaction on Wall Street. But
what's your take on how mainStreet feels about it. I
know there's some poles saying that there's some concern about
the way President Trump's handling the tariffs, But I'm not
really seeing people out in the streets with pitchforks and
torches yet, are you.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
I don't think it's quite like how it has been
on social media in the last few weeks, which is
NonStop hysteria. It's pandemonium. I think a lot of people
are willing to let President Trump cook, so to speak.
Of course, the majority of Americans voted him in office.
They're willing to let him carry through on a lot
of his campaign promises. I think a lot of Americans
are not so concerned about teriffs, especially moderate tariffs that
(34:42):
are coming down as many of those who are commenting
on social media. I think that many people think that
there needs to be a serious readjustment in trade, especially
in how we deal with communist China.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
That things have gone on too long the.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
Way they are and allowed China to rise and to
cause a lot of mischief in the world. The coupling
between the United States and a communist regime has ultimately
been bad for Americans across the board, especially American workers.
So I think that on main stream I think the
add to is just let Trump continue to negotiate, let
him continue to be involved in this, and let's have
(35:15):
a serious restructuring and how we do trade internationally.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, you know, I likely just said a hat to bet.
It's been bad for the American people, not just the
workers who lost their jobs. I'm not so sure that
our addiction to Chinese goods has been a good thing
for America, not from a health standpoint, not from a
consumer standpoint. There's a lot of stuff that's been written
about that over the years. It used to be nonpartisan,
but of course now with Trump and the tariffs, anything
(35:41):
that you say bad about China means that you're a
Trump supporter. It's really ridiculous, But this is something we
should talk about. Jared. This Facebook whistleblower story, I talked
about it in the last half hour yesterday. It was
pretty damning. You have this woman named Sarah Wynn Williamson,
she used to be the public affairs chief at Facebook's
saying that people like Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg not only
(36:04):
we're getting cozy with the Chinese communist officials, but may
have even shared some AI technology that Facebook has, may
have even shared some other real proprietary technology. And there
are people now saying that this isn't just an issue
of oh we should be angry at Facebook. Maybe some
people should be charged criminally. What's your take on this?
Do you do you trust what she had to say,
by the.
Speaker 8 (36:23):
Way, Yeah, I mean I have to say this doesn't
surprise me at all, especially in terms of Meta or
Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg. I think that Zuckerberg, who's tried
to sort of reposition himself as a champion of free speech,
I frankly don't buy it. I think he sees the
way that the wins are shifting. This is how he's
been throughout his career and throughout his time at the.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Head of Facebook.
Speaker 8 (36:48):
It is very interesting, especially in terms of the China issue,
how a lot of American companies, instead of bringing freedom
and liberty to China, have actually brought back tools of
tyranny back here to the United States. Have basically adopted
the Chinese censorship regime while also selling out US national
interests and.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Betraying the American people.
Speaker 8 (37:08):
I mean, that's really the horrifying outlook aspect of all this.
It kind of goes to that the terrorifists and the trade,
as you were talking before, is what has our relationship
with China.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Rod.
Speaker 8 (37:18):
It's brought a lot of companies that have been willing
to work with Beijing to sell out the US technological
superiority in many cases and have allowed China to rise
and catch up to the United States, while they have
not at all embraced anything like American style freedom. If anything,
things are getting worse in the free world because of it,
and I think that is the major concern. I do
(37:40):
believe a lot of her testimony. I think Meta has
a lot to answer for. I think that these hearings
should continue, including Zuckerberg. Again, I don't think his sudden,
you know, coming to Jesus moment.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I don't buy it.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
I think he's doing it because the political winds have shifted.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, I do too. And you know, you mentioned something
really important in that last answer. We were told, both
Republicans and Democrats told the American people for years that
allowing China to have this equal level and preferred nation
status as trade with US would lift all boats. In
other words, the Chinese government and the Chinese people would
see how free we are here in the West and
in the United States, and they would eventually democratize, They
(38:17):
would really modernize. The would get pressure from their own
people who suddenly had their eyes open to how great
and free we are here in the United States. But
the opposite happened. The companies that dealt with them looked
at the Chinese repressive, repressive regime and said he and
the politicians and said, hey, that looks cool. I wish
we could repress people in our country like that. Awesome.
Instead of them learning from us, we seem to have
(38:39):
learned from them. And there are a lot of people
who need to be held accountable by that. Maybe not
here on earth, because I don't if we're going to
get all the names and we're able to prosecute them all,
but maybe in the next life they will have a
reckoning for this. All right, Jared, you have a piece
right now in the Daily Signal about how Republicans in
Congress are trying to deal with these judges who just
refused to interpret the Constance. I know there's another term
(39:01):
for them, people call them active as judges, but I
think that really confuses people. Let me just make this
more clear. These are judges who refuse to interpret the
Constitution literally as everyone can see what it is. So
what's their plan? What did you find out in that piece?
Speaker 8 (39:15):
Yeah, and these judges are basically it's one man ruling
over the United States, is what these injunctions have become.
I mean, they've become a real problem. In the American system.
And I think that what they're incurring the wrath of
now the political branches that of course the White House
is not happy with these nationwide injunctions.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Congress is now getting involved.
Speaker 8 (39:34):
The House just passed legislation to try to curb this practice.
I think it's very important that the Supreme Court also
start to curb these practices. They have sort of started
to do that. They've they've now swanted down several decisions
from these district judges. But they really are taking the
law into their own hands. I mean, this is they're
delivering wins for the left, but they're destroying I think
(39:55):
confidence in the courts and the courts. I mean, their
entire thing is that they have to rely on their
reputation with the American people. They don't have power like
Congress or like the Presidency. They're sort of doing a
verse Marberie versus Madison right now. They're now alienating people
across the board and these decisions that are not constitutional,
and they're still going to find themselves, I think, on
(40:15):
an island with no navy and their enemies all around them,
and I think that's destructive of the courts, destructive of
the proper place of the courts. I do hope Congress
continues to be involved with this, of course, you know,
we always hope Congress is going to do something.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
They don't seem to do anything.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
But these nationwide injunctions are destructive to the republic. It's
undermining our constitutional system. Something action needs to be taken
on this, because one judge can't decide the laws for
the entire country.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
That's not how our system was designed.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Yeah, and look, it's a case of the it's not
mob justice. We absolutely want judges who aren't necessarily looking
at the polls every day. But when you have the
American people who forever have wanted a secure border and
don't want illegal aliens who commit additional crime in this
country to get the same kind of due process that
citizens have, this is something that eighty ninety percent of
(41:05):
the American people have wanted for a long time. It's
not spur of the moment, it's not mob justice, and
of course it's in the Constitution as well. There is nothing,
nothing laudable about what these judges are doing stopping law
and order and reasonable law and order in this country.
Jared Stepman, I know it's only Thursday. But thank you
for joining us, and have a good weekend.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Thank you too, Jake.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
All right, coming up, David Brody is going to join us,
and we're going to talk about a very interesting new
visa requirement from the Trump administration. Bigots and haters better
be ready to have their visa applications denied or they
already are here to get deported.
Speaker 7 (41:40):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Houston, Texas. And look at that traffic already there in Houston.
I guess that's going into the city. Houston is a major,
major city in America, as you all know. But good
luck trying to get some news out of that town.
That's how I get my news. By the way, I
like to go to the city's first and to move up.
The Houston Chronicle has become a restaurant circular. If you
don't believe me, check it out online. About ninety percent
(42:26):
of its coverage is pay to play ads basically that
look like articles about new restaurants in Houston. This is
one of America's major city, obviously a major oil city,
and you can't get news out of it. Somebody please
fix the news media. Welcome back, listen. There's a new
visa requirement now under the Trump administration, and the visa
requirement is stop being an ancient, old fashioned, horrible Jew hater.
(42:49):
This is a really interesting development. And the Trump administration
announcing yesterday that they're going to look at the social
media of people who are applying for visas in this
country and for some people who already are here on
visas to see if there's been a lot of anti
Semitic content. Good choice. I'm sorry to say this, but
anti Semites are a really good canary in the coal
mine for other problems. You want to find out if
(43:10):
someone who's going to become a problem in the country
cause mayhem, commit murder, vandalism, violence, if they're an anti
Semite openly, there's a good chance they're doing all three.
David Brody joining me here. You know, one of the
things I want to talk about here is that there
are still a decent number of people in this country
who have been misled into thinking that Donald Trump is
somehow encouraging anti Semites. I mean, I don't know what
(43:31):
this guy has to do to disabuse people of that
incredible nonsense. He's been an incredible ally in the war
against anti Semitism. Maybe, David, maybe this will change their mind.
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (43:41):
Yeah, the anti Semite who's cracking down on anti Semitism.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the logic of the left.
And this happens all the time. Oh, it just happens
to be the most popular president in Israel or the
US president in Israel modern day history, for sure, or
probably of all time, though I'd have to kind of
think about that for a second.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
But no doubt about it. Look, Jake, here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (44:03):
If you're if you're an a legal alien in this country. Here,
here's a little pro tip for you, a little little
pro tip for you. Maybe you should kind of fly
under the radar.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Maybe you shouldn't be up on social media.
Speaker 9 (44:15):
Oh, I don't know, not just bashing Israel, but calling
for the end of Israel's existence and spewing your anti submitticate.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Just the thought, Jake, just the thought, you know.
Speaker 9 (44:26):
So it's their own problem, for sure. It kind of
gets to a larger issue of do illegal immigrants have
free speech rights in this country? Well, of course we
would think the answer would be no, but legally it's
a bit more murky. And this is the type of
stuff that could eventually go to the Supreme Court. I'm
(44:47):
not sure exactly who how it would work and who
would have standing and then get into form shopping and
all of that. But the bottom line is is that
that's kind of like a larger issue of this. But look,
bottom line is anti Semitism. Uh yeah, I think you
make a good point that that is the barometer, that
that is the that is the bottom line to all
of this. Well, let me just say one last thing
(45:09):
in terms of the vetting aspect of just overall with DHS,
the biometrics issue, excuse me, biometrics is a real issue.
You know, their vetting process is pretty weak. And I
say they, I'm not talking about the Trump administration. I'm
just talking about overall vetting has been pretty weak by
DHS for a very long time. The Trump administration, with
that executive order in January twentieth.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Is trying to shore that up.
Speaker 9 (45:30):
They're trying to get in essence, not just a fingerprints,
but more biometric data like you know, voice and palm
and you know that type of thing to really be
able to crack down and see a little bit more
details about these people and go back into their history.
So there's that too.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, and you know, we're also talking about people on
student visas, not just illegal alien If you have a
student you're looking for a student visa and you're thirty
years old and you're you're going and you're living in
student housing and you have this history and your other
kind of trees that you came from of being an
anti semi Look, this is again, this is not just
talking about the Jewish community in the United States. I
hope people don't think that this is what's happened in Europe.
(46:08):
They have literally imported the oldest hatred in Europe. I
have to highly recommend a guy named Pat Condell con
d Ell. He has an x account. At least for now,
he's been an amazing outspoken person about this. In twenty eighteen,
he put out a video explaining that Europe was importing
He's from Britain, that Europe was importing the biggest haters
because they were anti Semis and he knew that they
would also cause other problems in Europe. And of course
(46:31):
he was right about that. David, You've got a big
show coming up. The gang's back together again. I think
on American Sunrise, were you still to come back almost yeah.
Speaker 9 (46:41):
Doctor Gina is still vacationing in New Jersey. Just kidding.
It's not New Jersey. It's somewhere overseas. We're looking forward
to that. I don't recommend vacation in Jersey, though, I
grew up in Jersey, and I'm sorry. Now everybody in
Jersey hates me.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
All right, Jake, back to you. We'll see it. I'll
see you tomorrow
Ahead an American Sunrise early edition. President Trump puts in
a ninety day pause on the tariffs, and Wall Street
responds with its biggest gains in years. But will the
gains hold when the market opens today? Of course, the
tariffs are not being delayed for one country, and that's China.
Trump hits Beijing with even bigger tariffs instead, and now
(00:23):
it's looking like the entire trade antrium was all about
China all along. It's your move, president. She The back
in session House hands President Trump a victory with a
vote to advance his big budget bill to a final vote,
but it's not at all clear if it will pass
in the end. The budget hawks are angry. Two more
(00:47):
so called elite universities are facing the possible loss of
hundreds of millions and maybe billions of dollars worth of
federal funding. This time, the Trump administration is looking into
Cornell and Northwestern and how they handle the anti Semitic
riots on their campuses masquerading as anti Israel protests, And
(01:08):
a Facebook whistleblower tells the Senate just how deeply Mark Zuckerberg,
Cheryl Sanmdberg, and other Meta executives colluded with communist China.
Some people in Congress are now calling for a criminal probe.
American Sunrise Early Edition starts now.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith,
freedom and the values that built this nation takes center.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Stack your good deeds and bad deeds.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
That's how we're gonna judge you.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the stories
that matter.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
He will be letting the public know regularly what we
have found.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak, starts now.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Good morning, I'm Jake Novak. This is America Sunrise Early Edition.
Is it just me? This has been a fast week.
It's already Thursday. I can't believe this. A lot has happened.
I guess that's why. But we got to get a
handle on what's happening. Joining me now is International Women's
Forum fellow Nicole Kipperlove. I call her the Maven and
ben Hassett because she's in Man Hassett and she knows
a lot of stuff. Nicole, I want to start though,
(02:20):
with the look at where we can expect the markets
to open it in because the world has been focused
on the markets most of the time, they're not but
let's take a look what we're expecting, and it is
an ugly open again, despite that twenty nine hundred point
gan on the now yesterday. Now, this is obviously just
a small fraction of that twenty nine hundred points starting
at six eighty, so it's about twenty five percent of
a takeoff from that gain. But it looks like investors
(02:42):
are are looking to be a little bit more cautious again.
But once again I must focus everyone on gold. Look
at that thirty one twenty seven on gold, up another
percent and a half, and that's a big deal. Crude
oil down went up again over sixty bucks an how
we're at sixty bucks a barrel. And let's look quickly
at bitcoin for those of you, because that was a
big gain on bitcoin yesterday as well, and I believe
(03:03):
that bitcoin came in. Yeah, they're back over the eighty
thousand dollars mark, but it's down again today about a percent.
All right. Not going to ask you for stock market advice, Nicole,
but I do want to ask you about this reaction
to the tariffs from Wall Street. I still think this
has been about ninety nine percent Wall Street and about
one percent Main Street reacting to this. So far, we
(03:23):
haven't seen those changes yet when we go to the store.
But do you think that's going to change? And do
you think that President Trump was really looking to just
target China all along? Because remember yesterday he paused the
tariffs on everyone but China.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So I think it's a little bit of everything here.
I do absolutely think putting pressure on China was a
major priority for the Trump administration. For President Trump, I
don't think we've seen that being done, and certainly not
in the last four years under the Biden administration, who
was incredibly weak in the face of China threatening arnational
(04:00):
security and again with these tariffs. Look, I think what's
really important to point out here is that this is
and this is what pretty much a lot of people
who understand this much better than I do have said,
this is short term pain, long term gain. I think
President Trump has been in a position here where he
hasn't really had much of a choice. Right he has
(04:21):
to do this. He has to reinvigorate the economy because
we can't keep going down this path. We have lost
our industries, we have lost our jobs. This is putting
America first. We want to bring back all of our industries. Yes,
it's about China, but it's about the rest of the
economy as well. It's about the rest of these benefits
that these tariffs will bring into this country. And I
(04:44):
think that's going to take a while to actually see.
No one is denying that this is painful. There's a
lot of uncertainty when it comes to these markets. But
you need to feel this discomfort to experience long term success.
And again, President and Trump wouldn't need to be doing
this if Obama and Biden hadn't put us in a
(05:05):
position to get taken advantage of, not just by China,
but by other countries as well. You know, I don't
think President Trump was You know, I don't think President
Trump has any other motivation to do this except to
help the American people, to help blue collar workers. He
wants to stop the hollowing out of the middle class
(05:26):
because he loves that. He loves this country. And one
last point here, I think it's really important to go
back to the beginning here. How did President Trump start
his business background? He got one million dollars from his
father and turned it into a multi billion dollar business.
He clearly knows what he's doing. He knows how to
(05:47):
negotiate the art of the deal. Right, this is what
this is. It's a negotiation. And if there's anyone I
trust to negotiate on behalf of the United States and
to put this country first, it's the president.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah. I wish it was just by the way. I
wish it were just Obama and Biden who got us
into this mess. It's seven decades of presidents from both parties, frankly,
and I think there's also a little bit of a
conditioning going on here. It's not just to try to
get China to treat us fairly on trade, but it's
also maybe to get the American people to start weaning
us off of our reliance on a bunch of Chinese imports.
(06:23):
Not all of it is junk, but a lot of
it is. It hasn't really helped our culture, it hasn't
really helped America in the long run. But we've got
to start weaning ourselves. We basically we're kind of addicted
to it, and we've got to get off of it
if we're going to survive as a nation. Reminds me
of what people said about President George W. Bush when
they said he should have told the American people maybe
drive less, maybe use less oil, or at least demand
(06:43):
that we pump more oil here in the United States.
Neither one of those things happened when he was president,
and we know the results of that. All right, let's
get to Congress for a second, because they got back
to work this week. Briefly, I think they're going on
vacation again in a couple of days. But they Republicans
in the House did advance the so called Big Buddy
bill that President Trump likes to a final vote, but
I think it was only a one vote majority. It's
(07:05):
not clear whether this thing is going to pass the
full House. What do you think about fiscal conservatives like
Thomas Massey and the others deciding to stand on ceremony
here because they're angry that there isn't enough budget cutting here.
But do you think they should give Trump a little
bit more slack because of things like DOGE that are
working very hard to cut spending. Maybe they should factor
that in before they vote no on this bill.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, I think they also have to consider that this
is just a first step. They can get their spending
cuts down the line once the budget reconciliation process is unlocked.
This is just a blueprint, and look, these negotiations are hard.
As Speaker Johnson said, this process isn't a cake walk.
But the bottom line is that everyone has to get
(07:50):
in line and support President Trump's agenda because this is
the most America first, common sense agenda that we've seen.
And we want more spending to strengthen our military for
the purposes of national security. We want more funding to
secure our southern and northern borders. We can't afford to
(08:10):
lose more lives to violent trender Ragua gang members, or
to fendyl olv rddoses as a result of a northern
border that isn't secure. We need to reinvigorate the economy
by cutting taxes, helping small businesses. So passing this is
the Again, it's a blueprint. It's the first step in
preventing a four trillion dollar tax hike, which is what
(08:34):
the Democrats want. And we have to ensure that the
twenty seventeen tax cuts are extended because if they're not,
the average taxpayer Jake would experience would have to deal
with a twenty two percent tax hike, and that's the
case for ninety one percent of Americans. So the overwhelming majority.
(08:55):
So this is a critical part of President Trump's agenda.
Like I said, to preserve job growth, keep the economy
stimulated very much a part of this bigger economic plan
where tariffs are also a big part of this. This
is another part of this, right. So it's all very comprehensive,
and frankly, President Trump is correct here that the Republicans
(09:18):
who oppose this bill, like Massey the others who you
just said, should stop grandstanding because this is a budget resolution.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
If the House passes it after the Senate already passed it,
it unlocks reconciliation, like I said, so there will be
that opportunity to add more spending cuts down the line.
I do believe President Trump absolutely wants to do that.
I don't see any reason for any Republican to be
opposing this right now, for anyone to be opposing it
(09:48):
right now. This is a first drap and President Trump,
as always, is engaged throughout this entire process.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah. I mean, I have a warning for both Republicans
and Democrats who don't want to sten these tax cuts.
You can pretend that they were for millionaires and billionaires
all you want. The fact is the key part of
the twenty seventeen Trump tax cut tax plan was the
doubling of the standard deduction basically for blue collar America,
for people who don't itemize their taxes. This is something
(10:16):
that not only the Democrats don't talk about for obvious reasons.
They don't want to admit that President Trump was helping
the working men and women in this country. But it's
something that Republicans and even a lot of Trump supporters
don't talk about enough. If you are a Trump' sup
order or if you're just a supporter of the working
man and women in America, I don't really care who
you voted for. Please remember that the existing tax laws
(10:37):
under the Trump administration's first term double the standard deduction
for people who don't itemize their taxes. That's basically blue
collar America, that's basically middle America. The first successful trickle
up tax cut that the Democrats talked about a lot
and never delivered. If you vote against this, you are
really declaring war on working America. And I don't care
if you're a Democrat or Republican, a budget hawk or not.
(10:57):
Nicole is one more story I want to get to
because with all the all the hullabaloo about Tyrus this week,
people have forgotten that there was really an interesting development
in this whole transports argument. Look, Americans in every poll
don't overwhelmingly don't want boys in girls sports, don't want
boys in girls' locker rooms. But the governor of Maine,
Janet Mills, even though our own state is also very
(11:18):
much against this, is really doubling and tripling down on
her fight with President Trump over this. Remember, the Trump
administration wants to pull some funding from the state of
Maine until they do something to protect women in women's sports,
girls in girls sports instead of not. And not only
is she not listening to this, she's suing the Trump
administration over this. This is something that her own voters
don't want. Please help me out here, what is this insanity?
(11:40):
She's committing political suicide.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
In my opinion, I think that's exactly right. And look,
President Trump understands signing this executive order to ban biological
men from women's sports. It isn't enough. There has to
be an enforcement mechanism. That's what this is. It's the
enforcement mechanism. Pulling federal funding is how to put pressure
on Maine to get this done. And the governor of
(12:02):
Maine suing the Trump administration over this will get nowhere because, frankly,
Janet Mills should be referred to the DOJ and prosecuted.
She's violating Title nine, she's violating the Family, Educational Rights
and Privacy Act, and several other laws. And she's doing
a horrible job representing the people of Maine. No surprise there.
(12:25):
There was a study recently done by the American Parents
Coalition and it found that sixty three percent of Maine
voters registered Maine voters said that school sports participation should
be based solely on biological sex, and sixty six percent
even higher said that women's sports is only for biological women. Now,
(12:48):
there was also a letter jake by fourteen Maine state
senators that was sent to President Trump. I believe that
was on Monday, and they condemned the governor for continuing
this lunacy. They're in touch with their constituents, and they
said in their letter that the people of Maine don't
support her radicalism clearly. So it's really important that state
(13:09):
governments comply, you know, expanding this beyond Maine, comply with
President Trump's executive order here and if you don't, you'll
get your federal funding pulled. And the Senate, by the way,
needs to pass the federal Senate needs to pass the
House passed legislation to protect women and girls, because that
bill failed in the Senate, which is reprehensible and disgusting.
(13:30):
There's no reason for that. So my point here is
there's still a lot of work to be done on
this very very critical issue.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
All right, listen Okam's raiser for those whore trying to
figure this one out. Listen, Maine is a poor state.
They need every penny at federal funding that they get.
For the governor to be doing this, she's either being
pressured by the DNC and threatened or someone's paying her.
This is just Please, let's not try to pretend that
she has any kind of real moral interest in men
playing in girl sports. It's the dumbest thing. This is
(13:58):
suicide unless she's being three or someone's paying her off.
And this is true of all the Democrats in these
states who are doing this, and someday, hopefully someone will
get to the bottom of why they did this. All right,
Nicole Kiprolof, thank you so much for joining us. It's
only Thursday, but I'm gonna say happy weekend to you.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Thank you, Thanks Jake, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
All right? Coming up, just how far did Facebook's top
executives go to collude with the Chinese regime. You'll hear
the details from a key meta whistleblower in a few moments.
And first there are heroes and then there are hero rats.
I'll explain why this critter is a real lifesaver for real.
When American Sunrise Early Edition continues, it's a live look
(14:58):
at the control room. Those guys like the low in
that control room, and they're ready to work every day.
And these are young gen Z guys who come to
work really early in the morning. There's hope for the
next generation. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm
Jake Novak again. A special welcome to those of you
watching and commenting on Getter and Rumble Hey. Every day
there's another excerpt released from that new book purporting to
(15:20):
be the real inside story of how the Democrats pushed
Joe Biden out of the twenty twenty four presidential race
and inserted Kamala Harris in his place. Every day they're
trying to high pipe this book. The latest Hues revelation
is that the Harris team was worried how Trump supporters
would react if Joe Biden died during the campaign after
Harris took over, So one of their brilliant ideas was
(15:42):
to get a list of all potential Republican judges who
would swear in Kamala Harris as president if Joe Biden
passed away. They thought that would plicate all the Trump supporters.
First of all, I can't think of almost any judge,
Republican or Democrat, who wouldn't swear in a vice president,
a sitting vice president when a president died, no matter
(16:04):
what their politics. I don't know what that would really
say to the American people or Trump supporters, that hey,
we got a Republican judge to swear in, big deal.
That's their duty, that's his or her duty. I really
I can't imagine almost any judge at any level who
would refuse to do that, no matter how much they
disliked Kamala Harris and her politics. So that's one thing.
And second, this continues to be This book is called
Fight by the way, I continue. I think it is
(16:25):
a tremendous whitewash of the group that did this whole
coup to get rid of Joe Biden. The first of all,
they're trying to whitewash Barack Obama and make it sound
like he was against it all along, because of course
she lost. I don't believe that for a second. And
this story doesn't really make that much sense to me either.
Who cares what Judge swears in a new president? Nobody cares.
This is really a strange book. It sounds like a
(16:47):
lot of spin to me. Needless to say, I'm not
buying all right, Hey, are any of you noticing this
massive new interest in the Menendez brothers. These are the
two kids. They were kids back then who murdered their parents,
and again, this is something they were tried and convicted of.
I'm really getting a little bit sick of it. I
understand that there was a moment when the previous DA
(17:09):
of La County Gascon said that he was thinking maybe
they would take a look at giving them a parole
because they are in prison for life without parole. So
I can understand that was a discussion, But that was
months ago that that district attorney said that, And he's
not the district attorney anymore. And I understand that there
was an interview with these two guys the TMZ got
and I think ABC News put it on or someone
(17:30):
else put it on during the week. Folks, don't fall
for this either. People who are in prison for life
love to get attention. That's all they can get at
this point. Sure it's possible they could get parole, but
it's very very thin chance. This was an egregious case.
These two brothers were found guilty beyond any shadow of
a doubt. Don't fall for it. If you see any
(17:51):
more publicity about this, just move on. There's a lot
of causes in America that are more important than the
Menendez brothers. That's all I can say. All right, now,
I have some good news for you. If this story
doesn't make you smile, then you are officially incapable of smiling.
See a doctor. If you have to meet Ronan. This
is Ronan the rat. Ronan is a rat who was
detected one hundred and nine land mines and fifteen items
(18:14):
of other unexploded ordnance since twenty twenty one. This is
a hard working rat. He is a valuable commodity in
his home country of Cambodia, one of the most heavily
mined countries in the world. They still have a lot
of active minds in that country. Ronan works with a
handler in the field, of course, you see, he's got
a little leash there. Rats like Roanan are trained to
sniff out chemicals and the explosives. Their hard work also
(18:35):
lets them cover distances at a quicker rate than a
human with a metal detector. So take that in New
York City, pizza rat, this is a rodent. We can
all get behind. Good job, Ronan, You've saved a lot
of lives. All right, Coming up, we'll check in on
Wall Street again. You know, hold your breath. It's not
going to be that pretty. And when we open I
guess not. It changes every minute. After that massive rally
that we had yesterday, I don't know if it's going
(18:57):
to continue today. After President Trump delayed his part announcement.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
A remarkable new lawsuit claims a major Palestinian businessman lauded
as a positive symbol for peace was really actually financing
Hamas all along. But can the plaintiff's wind American Sunrise
early edition is coming right back. Beautiful shot there of
(19:37):
Fort Myers, Florida. Beautiful day in Florida today, I assume
because I'm here in New York where it's yesterday it
was just freaking cold. We are not having an early
spring here in New York, although we did have sun,
so I'm not going to complain. Let's take a look
at where the markets will begin today. Hey, we're a
little bit better than we were just a few minutes ago.
We were almost seven hundred points down on the Dow futures.
(19:57):
Now we're at five fifty seven, going in the right direction.
For those of you who are along the market, I
know some of you watching are short the market, em
betting against it. For those of you who know that
little stock market move so, I don't want to say
it's bad for everyone or good for everyone whenever the
market moves one way or the other. But I'm just
noting that. And again, gold really really the standout right
now at thirty one thirty one is basically right back
(20:18):
to its all time high. For those of you who
really heavily put your money into gold in the last
couple of months, you're feeling pretty smart. Right now. We'll
look at bitcoin just really quickly, because bitcoin is back
in that eighty to eight to ninety thousand range that
has been stuck in, and it was stuck in even
before all the tarre tumult Bitcoin. I mean, I guess
that makes it a safe haven. I don't really know,
but it certainly is not crashing. It didn't lose fifteen
(20:40):
percent like the markets did before that big rally yesterday.
All Right, Facebook parent Meta whistleblower. There's a whistleblower at
that company. Her name is Sarah Wynn Williamson. She appeared
before a Senate hearing yesterday and she lobbed a lot
of serious accusations at Mark Zuckerberg, Cheryl Samberg and other
top executives. Here were some of those charges. Check it out.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Members of the Facebook executive team or other employees at
Facebook Meta ever brief members of the Chinese Communist.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Party, Yes, Senator, regularly.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Exchange information with them.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Yes, Senator, What are some of.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
The topics that they covered in these briefings.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
I mean, it's incredibly broad. So you had meetings at
the top executive level, so Mark and Cheryl and you
had meetings, you know, all the way down to you know,
regular engineers who would be providing briefings on cutting edge
technology like facial recognition, which is obviously very helpful to
the Chinese Communist Party. And you know Facebook Live, as
(21:40):
I mentioned, photo tagging, Internet infrastructure, sorry, like so how
to build effective data centers. So it was at at
every level, on every aspect of the many different technology
that Facebook has.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
All right, now, I just.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Want everyone to take one note here, you know me,
I like to put a little bit of a doubt
on people who have new books out when Williamson has
some very detailed accusations. I'm not saying that she's not
telling the truth, but she's also selling a book right now,
and there's been some questions about some other accusations in
the book. So again, remember, however, she was once the
director of public policy at Facebook, so no one is
denying she was in a position to know that this
(22:20):
was going on. But again, her book is called Careless People,
and it's been the subject of some litigation overseas. So again,
doesn't mean everything she's saying is true. I know it's
pretty credible and she certainly was in the position to
know these things, but again, grain of salt. Okay, here
we go with what's become a necessary check on how
big the US auto company cosocks are doing, and we're
going to hit the road right now, all right. GM
(22:54):
and rose eight percent yesterday, and the Dow and it's
down now three percent in the pre market. I'm just
giving you a little bit of a check because again,
this is unfortunately I would really much rather talk about
these amazing machines we're looking to hear on the screen
by it caught talk stocks Ford also gained eight percent
yesterday but is now down four percent. A lot of
them are giving back a little bit or half sometimes
(23:15):
of what they gained yesterday. Stalantis was a huge winner yesterday.
They're the owners of Price or Jeep and Dodge. They
were up eighteen percent yesterday, but they're down eight percent
in the pre market. And Tesla, the biggest winner of
them all, was up twenty three percent yesterday, down only
four percent today, so they're only giving back a fraction
of what they made yesterday, all right. More car buyers
are using seven year car loans to finance new vehicles
(23:38):
in the first quarter than ever before in America in history.
Dave Ramsey, the budget guy, he calls us a car mortgage,
So do I that's rough seven year car loan? Yikes.
But this is because of rising prices. The average transaction
price of a new vehicle in America forty seven thousand dollars,
more than forty seven thousand dollars in March. This is
(23:59):
why people are doing this. But again, seven years on
a car loan. If you have a seven year car loan,
there's a very good chance you will be underwater on
the loan very soon. That's when you owe more on
the car than it's worth, if you resold it back
to a dealer or even on Amazon or something. This
is a rough situation for America. Got to figure out
how to deal with this, all right. Next story. Here
(24:19):
are some good news stories though that I want to
tell you about. The number of deaths in car accidents
fell last year to the lowest level since twenty nineteen.
About thirty nine three hundred people died in vehicle incidents
in the US last year. Again, that's the lowest in
about six years. It's not yet clear why exactly the
numbers went down, because driving numbers were up last year.
But this is obviously a good thing. All right. Maybe
(24:41):
you've seen one of these trucks on the road and
wondered what was up. They're called squatted trucks. This is
when or Carolina squad, so that's the one. The truck
is modified to have a lifted front end and a
lowered rear end. It's called a lean back or something
like that. It's all for show. There's actually no real
functional use to this. This is just kind of a thing.
I guess well. State troopers and don't like these trucks.
(25:03):
They think they're not safe, and they're probably right. Arkansas
law is now banning squatted vehicles with bumper height differences
over four inches. Offenders face fines them up with to
five hundred dollars. They could get their license suspended. I
know it's the fun police, but let me know, on Getter,
if there's a good reason to have a squattered truck
that I don't know about, let me know and getter
and rumble, because I am not an expert on squadded trucks.
(25:24):
All right. Getting to another story now that's interesting about
American finances and the law. A man named Bosch Masri
is often hailed as the solution to the problems facing
the people of Gaza and the West Bank. He was
even featured on sixty Minutes in twenty nineteen as an
investor who wanted to redevelop Palestinian areas with amazing real
estate projects. But a new lawsuit filed by some of
(25:46):
the victims and the families of the victims of October seventh,
the terrorist attacks, say that Masri was really financing comas
infrastructure all along. But can that lawsuit really win? Joining
me now to talk about this extraordinary lawsuit is former
federal prosecutor Mitchell Epner. Mitchell, this seems like a unique
case to me as an amateur, because it's not going
(26:06):
after a state actor. It's going after an individual connected
to terrorism in a private lawsit in a civil lawsity.
So is this unusual to you or and do you
think it has any chance of succeeding?
Speaker 6 (26:17):
So there is a law that allows Americans who are
the victims of terrorist attacks to bring lawsuits. Ordinarily, the
big bar against those is that the defendants are often
either state actors or foreign people, so it's hard to
(26:37):
establish jurisdiction over them. Not going to use a whole
bunch of acronyms now, but ordinarily hard. This individual, this defendant,
is a US citizen and he is clearly here. So
then the question isn't about the procedure. It's about the
merits of the lawsuit. This lawsuit complaint is is one
(27:00):
hundred and eighty seven pages. It is literally over one
one hundred paragraphs long. Most of it appears to have
been taken from various governmental investigations of the October seventh attacks.
I would say it is if you wanted to read
(27:22):
about what Israel did wrong in making itself vulnerable to
the October seventh attacks, this is a very good encapsulation
of it. There's much less in it about what Masri did,
but what he allegedly did could potentially lead to liability.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
All right, you mentioned the state actors, and so I
want to talk about collections here for a second, because
we know that there have been lawsuits in the past.
I remember Iron was successfully sued by some victims of
terror here in the United States after bus bombings back
in the nineties, and I know that they won those cases.
I'm thinking of the Alyssa Flato case if you remember
that one. But I don't think they actually ever get
(28:05):
the money. That's not really the point here. What's your
impression or do you think they really are expecting to
get some money if they win the case or they're
maybe just trying to make a point.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I have no idea.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
I do know that Wilkie Foreign Gallagher is a serious
law firm. The attorney, Lee Lee Wolowski, is a very
serious person who's been in and out of government under
mostly democratic administrations dealing with foreign policy issues. Wilki Farr
(28:39):
hasn't said whether they've taken this case pro bono or not.
And the defendant is somebody with a lot of funds
who's a US person, So it is theoretically much easier
to get that money than to try to collect a
judgment against the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
All Right, A last question, because this also reminds me
of a case in the late nineties against the so
called Holy Land Foundation. This was a charity supposed to
charity that the US government found out this was under
the Bush administration, was really a front for Hamas and
people went to jail over this. If this lawsuit is successful,
any chance that someone like Masri could go to jail
(29:20):
over this or is this really just going to stay
in the civil courts?
Speaker 6 (29:23):
This reads to me like a civil complaint to boil
down what the complaint says that Masri and his companies
did wrong. What he allegedly did wrong was he allowed
Hamas to build its tunnel network in and through the
industrial park that he built near the Israeli border. And
(29:45):
there's no doubt that it was a real industrial park.
And in the wake of the Israeli invasion of Daza,
they appear to have discovered that the tunnel network which
was used by Hama in order to launch the October
seventh attacks by tunneling under and through into Israel and
(30:10):
then breaching the wall that went through this industrial park.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And that.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Is something that seems to me to be a plausible
argument for civil liability. I cannot imagine it being a
basis for criminal liability.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
All right, well, let's see how that works out. Interesting take.
This is going to be a case that a lot
of people are going to watch, that's for sure, all right,
mitche Epner, former federal prosecutor, thank you so much for
joining us. All right, coming on, the Trump tariff saga
is twisting and turning again. We got a historic rally
and that was the latest twist yesterday. But you know,
twists are more of than a common American sunrise early edition.
Will be right, back. It's Thursday, April tenth. Here are
(30:58):
some of this morning's top story. President Trump puts in
a ninety day pause on the tariffs, and Wall Street
responds with its biggest gains in years. Will the gains
hold when the market opens today? The back in session
House hands President Trump a victory with a vote to
advance his big budget bill to a final vote, but
(31:18):
it's not at all clear if it will pass in
the end. Two more so called elite universities are facing
the possible loss of hundreds of millions of dollars maybe
billions worth of federal funding. This time, the Trump administration
is looking into Cornell and Northwestern and how they handled
anti Semitic incidents on their campuses masquerading as anti Israel protests.
(31:43):
And breaking news, President Trump has secured the release of
Russian American ballerina Casina Carolina, who had been held unlawfully
in Russia after she gave a fifty two dollars donation
to Ukraine. American Sunrise early edition continues. Now, Hey everyone,
(32:06):
the IRS is the largest collection agency in the world,
and with April fifteenth fast approaching, it's more aggressive than ever.
In twenty twenty five, enforcement has actually ramped up, and
if you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, waiting
is not an option. The longer you do, the worse
it gets. Ignoring your tax troubles is the worst thing
you can do. April fifteenth marks another tax year that
(32:28):
has passed you by. Getting ahead of this now is
the smart move. But never never contact the IRS alone. Instead,
let the experts at Tax Network USA handle it for you.
Why Because not all tax resolution companies are the same.
Tax Network USA has a preferred direct line to the IRS,
meaning they know exactly which agents to deal with and
(32:51):
which to avoid. With proven strategies to settle tax problems
in your favor, whether you owe ten thousand dollars or
ten million dollars, Tax Network USA is a time jorneys
and negotiators have already resolved over one billion dollars in
tax debt. Talk with one of their strategists today. It's free.
Stop the threatening letters, stop looking over your shoulder, and
protect yourself from property seizures and bank levies. Don't let
(33:15):
the IRS control your future. Call one eight hundred nine
oh five eight thousand, or visit TNUSA dot com. Slash
rav April fifteenth is just around the corner at now,
before the IRS acts first, thanks for listening, all right,
Welcome back everyone to American Sunrise Early edition. I'm Jake
Novak again. Thank you for watching on Getter and commenting
(33:37):
on Getter and Rumble. Joining me now is Jared Stepman.
He's a columnist at the Daily Signal. And Jarrett, let's
take a look at where the markets are going to
open today, because you know it was great yesterday twenty
nine hundred point rally on the Dow. Wow, But the
last time we check, we were looking at more than
a five hundred point loss in the down There we
are again, bright spots are gold, and I consider it
(33:58):
as a gasoline consumer, a bright spot that crude oil
is down. Hey, Jared, look, it's been twisting and turning.
We've definitely had a major reaction on Wall Street. But
what's your take on how mainStreet feels about it. I
know there's some poles saying that there's some concern about
the way President Trump's handling the tariffs, But I'm not
really seeing people out in the streets with pitchforks and
torches yet, are you.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
I don't think it's quite like how it has been
on social media in the last few weeks, which is
NonStop hysteria. It's pandemonium. I think a lot of people
are willing to let President Trump cook, so to speak.
Of course, the majority of Americans voted him in office.
They're willing to let him carry through on a lot
of his campaign promises. I think a lot of Americans
are not so concerned about teriffs, especially moderate tariffs that
(34:42):
are coming down as many of those who are commenting
on social media. I think that many people think that
there needs to be a serious readjustment in trade, especially
in how we deal with communist China.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
That things have gone on too long the.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
Way they are and allowed China to rise and to
cause a lot of mischief in the world. The coupling
between the United States and a communist regime has ultimately
been bad for Americans across the board, especially American workers.
So I think that on main stream I think the
add to is just let Trump continue to negotiate, let
him continue to be involved in this, and let's have
(35:15):
a serious restructuring and how we do trade internationally.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, you know, I likely just said a hat to bet.
It's been bad for the American people, not just the
workers who lost their jobs. I'm not so sure that
our addiction to Chinese goods has been a good thing
for America, not from a health standpoint, not from a
consumer standpoint. There's a lot of stuff that's been written
about that over the years. It used to be nonpartisan,
but of course now with Trump and the tariffs, anything
(35:41):
that you say bad about China means that you're a
Trump supporter. It's really ridiculous, But this is something we
should talk about. Jared. This Facebook whistleblower story, I talked
about it in the last half hour yesterday. It was
pretty damning. You have this woman named Sarah Wynn Williamson,
she used to be the public affairs chief at Facebook's
saying that people like Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg not only
(36:04):
we're getting cozy with the Chinese communist officials, but may
have even shared some AI technology that Facebook has, may
have even shared some other real proprietary technology. And there
are people now saying that this isn't just an issue
of oh we should be angry at Facebook. Maybe some
people should be charged criminally. What's your take on this?
Do you do you trust what she had to say,
by the.
Speaker 8 (36:23):
Way, Yeah, I mean I have to say this doesn't
surprise me at all, especially in terms of Meta or
Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg. I think that Zuckerberg, who's tried
to sort of reposition himself as a champion of free speech,
I frankly don't buy it. I think he sees the
way that the wins are shifting. This is how he's
been throughout his career and throughout his time at the.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Head of Facebook.
Speaker 8 (36:48):
It is very interesting, especially in terms of the China issue,
how a lot of American companies, instead of bringing freedom
and liberty to China, have actually brought back tools of
tyranny back here to the United States. Have basically adopted
the Chinese censorship regime while also selling out US national
interests and.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Betraying the American people.
Speaker 8 (37:08):
I mean, that's really the horrifying outlook aspect of all this.
It kind of goes to that the terrorifists and the trade,
as you were talking before, is what has our relationship
with China.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Rod.
Speaker 8 (37:18):
It's brought a lot of companies that have been willing
to work with Beijing to sell out the US technological
superiority in many cases and have allowed China to rise
and catch up to the United States, while they have
not at all embraced anything like American style freedom. If anything,
things are getting worse in the free world because of it,
and I think that is the major concern. I do
(37:40):
believe a lot of her testimony. I think Meta has
a lot to answer for. I think that these hearings
should continue, including Zuckerberg. Again, I don't think his sudden,
you know, coming to Jesus moment.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I don't buy it.
Speaker 8 (37:52):
I think he's doing it because the political winds have shifted.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, I do too. And you know, you mentioned something
really important in that last answer. We were told, both
Republicans and Democrats told the American people for years that
allowing China to have this equal level and preferred nation
status as trade with US would lift all boats. In
other words, the Chinese government and the Chinese people would
see how free we are here in the West and
in the United States, and they would eventually democratize, They
(38:17):
would really modernize. The would get pressure from their own
people who suddenly had their eyes open to how great
and free we are here in the United States. But
the opposite happened. The companies that dealt with them looked
at the Chinese repressive, repressive regime and said he and
the politicians and said, hey, that looks cool. I wish
we could repress people in our country like that. Awesome.
Instead of them learning from us, we seem to have
(38:39):
learned from them. And there are a lot of people
who need to be held accountable by that. Maybe not
here on earth, because I don't if we're going to
get all the names and we're able to prosecute them all,
but maybe in the next life they will have a
reckoning for this. All right, Jared, you have a piece
right now in the Daily Signal about how Republicans in
Congress are trying to deal with these judges who just
refused to interpret the Constance. I know there's another term
(39:01):
for them, people call them active as judges, but I
think that really confuses people. Let me just make this
more clear. These are judges who refuse to interpret the
Constitution literally as everyone can see what it is. So
what's their plan? What did you find out in that piece?
Speaker 8 (39:15):
Yeah, and these judges are basically it's one man ruling
over the United States, is what these injunctions have become.
I mean, they've become a real problem. In the American system.
And I think that what they're incurring the wrath of
now the political branches that of course the White House
is not happy with these nationwide injunctions.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Congress is now getting involved.
Speaker 8 (39:34):
The House just passed legislation to try to curb this practice.
I think it's very important that the Supreme Court also
start to curb these practices. They have sort of started
to do that. They've they've now swanted down several decisions
from these district judges. But they really are taking the
law into their own hands. I mean, this is they're
delivering wins for the left, but they're destroying I think
(39:55):
confidence in the courts and the courts. I mean, their
entire thing is that they have to rely on their
reputation with the American people. They don't have power like
Congress or like the Presidency. They're sort of doing a
verse Marberie versus Madison right now. They're now alienating people
across the board and these decisions that are not constitutional,
and they're still going to find themselves, I think, on
(40:15):
an island with no navy and their enemies all around them,
and I think that's destructive of the courts, destructive of
the proper place of the courts. I do hope Congress
continues to be involved with this, of course, you know,
we always hope Congress is going to do something.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
They don't seem to do anything.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
But these nationwide injunctions are destructive to the republic. It's
undermining our constitutional system. Something action needs to be taken
on this, because one judge can't decide the laws for
the entire country.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
That's not how our system was designed.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Yeah, and look, it's a case of the it's not
mob justice. We absolutely want judges who aren't necessarily looking
at the polls every day. But when you have the
American people who forever have wanted a secure border and
don't want illegal aliens who commit additional crime in this
country to get the same kind of due process that
citizens have, this is something that eighty ninety percent of
(41:05):
the American people have wanted for a long time. It's
not spur of the moment, it's not mob justice, and
of course it's in the Constitution as well. There is nothing,
nothing laudable about what these judges are doing stopping law
and order and reasonable law and order in this country.
Jared Stepman, I know it's only Thursday. But thank you
for joining us, and have a good weekend.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Thank you too, Jake.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
All right, coming up, David Brody is going to join us,
and we're going to talk about a very interesting new
visa requirement from the Trump administration. Bigots and haters better
be ready to have their visa applications denied or they
already are here to get deported.
Speaker 7 (41:40):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Houston, Texas. And look at that traffic already there in Houston.
I guess that's going into the city. Houston is a major,
major city in America, as you all know. But good
luck trying to get some news out of that town.
That's how I get my news. By the way, I
like to go to the city's first and to move up.
The Houston Chronicle has become a restaurant circular. If you
don't believe me, check it out online. About ninety percent
(42:26):
of its coverage is pay to play ads basically that
look like articles about new restaurants in Houston. This is
one of America's major city, obviously a major oil city,
and you can't get news out of it. Somebody please
fix the news media. Welcome back, listen. There's a new
visa requirement now under the Trump administration, and the visa
requirement is stop being an ancient, old fashioned, horrible Jew hater.
(42:49):
This is a really interesting development. And the Trump administration
announcing yesterday that they're going to look at the social
media of people who are applying for visas in this
country and for some people who already are here on
visas to see if there's been a lot of anti
Semitic content. Good choice. I'm sorry to say this, but
anti Semites are a really good canary in the coal
mine for other problems. You want to find out if
(43:10):
someone who's going to become a problem in the country
cause mayhem, commit murder, vandalism, violence, if they're an anti
Semite openly, there's a good chance they're doing all three.
David Brody joining me here. You know, one of the
things I want to talk about here is that there
are still a decent number of people in this country
who have been misled into thinking that Donald Trump is
somehow encouraging anti Semites. I mean, I don't know what
(43:31):
this guy has to do to disabuse people of that
incredible nonsense. He's been an incredible ally in the war
against anti Semitism. Maybe, David, maybe this will change their mind.
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (43:41):
Yeah, the anti Semite who's cracking down on anti Semitism.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the logic of the left.
And this happens all the time. Oh, it just happens
to be the most popular president in Israel or the
US president in Israel modern day history, for sure, or
probably of all time, though I'd have to kind of
think about that for a second.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
But no doubt about it. Look, Jake, here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (44:03):
If you're if you're an a legal alien in this country. Here,
here's a little pro tip for you, a little little
pro tip for you. Maybe you should kind of fly
under the radar.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Maybe you shouldn't be up on social media.
Speaker 9 (44:15):
Oh, I don't know, not just bashing Israel, but calling
for the end of Israel's existence and spewing your anti submitticate.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Just the thought, Jake, just the thought, you know.
Speaker 9 (44:26):
So it's their own problem, for sure. It kind of
gets to a larger issue of do illegal immigrants have
free speech rights in this country? Well, of course we
would think the answer would be no, but legally it's
a bit more murky. And this is the type of
stuff that could eventually go to the Supreme Court. I'm
(44:47):
not sure exactly who how it would work and who
would have standing and then get into form shopping and
all of that. But the bottom line is is that
that's kind of like a larger issue of this. But look,
bottom line is anti Semitism. Uh yeah, I think you
make a good point that that is the barometer, that
that is the that is the bottom line to all
of this. Well, let me just say one last thing
(45:09):
in terms of the vetting aspect of just overall with DHS,
the biometrics issue, excuse me, biometrics is a real issue.
You know, their vetting process is pretty weak. And I
say they, I'm not talking about the Trump administration. I'm
just talking about overall vetting has been pretty weak by
DHS for a very long time. The Trump administration, with
that executive order in January twentieth.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Is trying to shore that up.
Speaker 9 (45:30):
They're trying to get in essence, not just a fingerprints,
but more biometric data like you know, voice and palm
and you know that type of thing to really be
able to crack down and see a little bit more
details about these people and go back into their history.
So there's that too.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, and you know, we're also talking about people on
student visas, not just illegal alien If you have a
student you're looking for a student visa and you're thirty
years old and you're you're going and you're living in
student housing and you have this history and your other
kind of trees that you came from of being an
anti semi Look, this is again, this is not just
talking about the Jewish community in the United States. I
hope people don't think that this is what's happened in Europe.
(46:08):
They have literally imported the oldest hatred in Europe. I
have to highly recommend a guy named Pat Condell con
d Ell. He has an x account. At least for now,
he's been an amazing outspoken person about this. In twenty eighteen,
he put out a video explaining that Europe was importing
He's from Britain, that Europe was importing the biggest haters
because they were anti Semis and he knew that they
would also cause other problems in Europe. And of course
(46:31):
he was right about that. David, You've got a big
show coming up. The gang's back together again. I think
on American Sunrise, were you still to come back almost yeah.
Speaker 9 (46:41):
Doctor Gina is still vacationing in New Jersey. Just kidding.
It's not New Jersey. It's somewhere overseas. We're looking forward
to that. I don't recommend vacation in Jersey, though, I
grew up in Jersey, and I'm sorry. Now everybody in
Jersey hates me.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
All right, Jake, back to you. We'll see it. I'll
see you tomorrow
