00:00:00
Speaker 1: Ahead on an American Sunrise early edition.
00:00:03
Speaker 2: You're looking at the two faces of the man most people believe is now the only realistic hope to save America's largest city. Mayor Eric Adams looked lost and hired at one event, but cool and collected at the other. But which one will be the guy who takes on Zoron Momdam. Secretary of State Pete Hegseth makes himself the object of seething mainstream media hate as he scolds the industry for its coverage of Operation Midnight Hammer. Apparently America can't even neutralize one of its most hideous enemies without partisan hacks deciding they'd rather fight amongst themselves. Israel's leading newspaper says President Trump and Prime Minister Nittanyao have launched a plan to end the war in Gaza in two weeks, bring in Arab countries to rebuild the territory, and expand the Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia and even Syria.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: Not bad for a day's work.
00:01:01
Speaker 2: Remember the massive attention everyone gave that Wisconsin Supreme Court race earlier this year, You know, the one Elon Musk spent so much time and money on, but the Democrats still won. We'll wait until you hear what just happened as a result of that election. And they keep telling us the US economy is about to collapse and it will take your four oh one K with it. But don't look now where at all time hies on Wall Street and there's good news for Main Street too.
00:01:29
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition begins. Now.
00:01:34
Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom, and the values that built this nation takes centers.
00:01:44
Speaker 1: To your good, thieves and bad deeds. That's how we're gonna judge you.
00:01:48
Speaker 3: Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the stories that matter.
00:01:52
Speaker 1: He will be letting the public know regularly what we have found.
00:01:55
Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak art Now.
00:02:06
Speaker 2: I am Jake Novak. Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. It is a no Taie Friday, and can we just take a breath for a moment for what has been more than just an incredibly busy week of news here in this country and all over the world. But it's been more than that. It's been several several days beyond a week. So let's take a breath let's look forward to the weekend. But I got to get you all informed and prepared to take some perspective, and they know exactly what's going on right now. Joining me to help me do that is nationally syndicated radio host Jennifer Kelly.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: Jennifer, you know, at first, when.
00:02:40
Speaker 2: This story broke, I sure that people beyond New York would care so much about this election for mayor. I thought maybe people will say, ah, that's New York, and I don't care about New York. But even the people saying that in the first sentence then go on and on and talk about how, oh my god, those New Yorkers can't elect that Zoron Mamdanni's socialist, communist guy. So it really is resonating nationally. So I want everyone to take a look at the guy who I think all of us agreed, at least most of us, is really the only hope to defeat this guy. This is the current mayor, Eric Adams, really officially kicking off his general election campaign against Mom Donnie yesterday.
00:03:16
Speaker 4: Check this out in a lot ex gives me the time to finish the job. This is a This election is a real choice, this eflection, This is a choice between a Canada with a bookla and one with a suit till the school, A choice between Jodie finger Naws and Manicude. A choice between someone who delivered lower crime, the most dog in history, the most new houses built, built in decades, and in a simply member who did not pass a built.
00:03:51
Speaker 2: All right, Jennifer, I don't know what's going on there, because that's Eric Adams reading off. It looks like a pieces of paper that were scrawled maybe a second before. He doesn't always speak so poorly, or it just seemed unprepared. I mean, he had a good line there about blue collar versus silver spoon, but I don't know if anyone made that out now. I think maybe the wind was blowing. I don't know what happened if he maybe he had a teleprompter and it didn't work. But to me, this was not an inspiring kickoff to his campaign, not in New York, where the mayor of New York's got to be someone who talks off the cuff and can go back and forth with reporters, let alone a setup speech that he knew he was going to give hours or maybe days before.
00:04:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you heard horns beeping their taxis going by. I mean, here's the reason Eric Adams has to read off of a sheet of paper.
00:04:39
Speaker 6: He now has to be a different person than he was when he was mayor of New York City. And he still is.
00:04:45
Speaker 5: Mayor of New York City, but he has to now be a different version of Eric Adams. He has to be the more acceptable version of Eric Adams because he's now running against a far left, radical communist.
00:04:57
Speaker 6: And this is the sad.
00:04:58
Speaker 5: State of affairs at New York's city is in what a huge opportunity, by the way, and I'm going to violate Ronald Reagan's eleventh commandment here, I have to talk about the Republican Party in New York. They have been asleep at the switch, letting people like Curtis lee Wap love him to death. A very nice man, but he barely broke one percent in the results this week. And that is a terrible day at the office of your New York City when you consider Jake that in the last mayoral election, in the post COVID, post summer of twenty twenty riots, post Black Lives Matter marches that were shutting down the city, we had a huge opportunity in New York City, and that was ninety one percent of registered Democrat voters said they would be willing to cross party lines and vote for a Republican on the number one issue facing the city at that time, and that was crime. And we missed an opportunity to put somebody like Andrew Giuliani, someone with a big name in there, and that is just a huge missed opportunity.
00:06:02
Speaker 6: And now the tooth bases out of the twobe.
00:06:05
Speaker 5: We have a radical leftist communist running for mayor of the largest city in the nation and Eric Adams is our best guy.
00:06:13
Speaker 6: Give me a break.
00:06:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough situation. Now again more proof that this is a national story more than just the clicks on the Internet and the ratings of some of the programs we were talking about it. So, I mean, really, people really do care about this for a lot of obvious reasons, but also nationally prominent people are jumping into the discussion, and one of them is billionaire Bill Ackman. Out those of you watching this program might remember him for a number of reasons that he might remember him from the business world. That would be the most easy recognition there. But don't forget he was a mainstream Democrat. I'll put him, I'll say that. And during the election last year, he slowly but surely came around to President Trump's got a huge account on x He's got a lot of followers. People listened to him, and he came around slowly but surely to President Trump. And he's remained in a Trump's camp for the most part since the election. Now there are people asking him to actually jump into this race for mayor. He I don't think he's going to do that, but he has pledged to back with big money, someone who he thinks can beat Zarah Mom, Donnie Jennifer. I got to talk to you about this because to me, this feels like a double edged sword.
00:07:19
Speaker 1: Be great to have the.
00:07:20
Speaker 2: Support of a Bill Ackman, his financial support, but wouldn't that play into the narrative of the progressive left. I hate calling him that because they're actually regressive. They're taking his back in time. So wouldn't that play into the hands of the regressive less saying, oh, look at those rich people, those rich elites. They're going to stack the deck against what the people really want. I'm very, very worried, and I think we should all be cautious about bringing in a Bill Ackman here, especially as a candidate, but even as someone is going to be the big money backer that I think they need to go on a different route.
00:07:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a very astute observation, Jake, and I think that's true, and I think that is actually what's going to happen. You have the news overnight according to my sources saying they are the powers that be in the New York GOP are now looking to find an appointment, maybe a White House appointment for Curtis Sleewah to go do so that he can't serve on the Republican ticket and they can substitute as somebody in on the Republican side. I don't know yet who that would be, but there's no doubt all of the big money backers, and frankly, all of the Democrats who are reasonable people like Bill Ackman, people who run large banks, Chase City Bank, Wall Street, you name it, they are going to come in support of the Republicans.
00:08:38
Speaker 6: So it might be unavoidable that you have a situation like that, Jake.
00:08:42
Speaker 5: But that may be how it's going to shape up, and that may be how it needs to shape up. Because look, you've got to now overcome this name ID that Mundani now has. And look, as they say in media, there's no such thing as bad press. This guy got nothing but bad press the final three weeks of the election, and I kept telling my Republican colleagues, stopped talking about this guy, stopped saying the name over and over, you're bringing attention to him. And sure enough, he sailed to victory with seventy seven percent of the vote. I think it might be the highest return in a New York City mayoral election other than you know, the immediate post nine to eleven coalition around the other mayors. But yeah, this this is frightening, especially as someone who lives in New York City.
00:09:29
Speaker 6: I went through the riots of twenty twenty, went through the summer.
00:09:32
Speaker 5: Of twenty twenty, and then went through the ensuing years after COVID, when we basically sort of had a socialist mayor. We had you know, people acting as if, you know, we didn't have basic freedoms, and you know, just to imagine what this guy could do, it's pretty frightening.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:09:49
Speaker 2: And Andrew Cuomo another national name, you know, the former governor, former housing secretary. He's apparently not dropping out of the race. It sounded like he was a couple of days ago. This is a big mess, and I I don't know how they're going to solve it yet. A lot of chess pieces moving. Let's get to another national story. That's the demonization of the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He went after the news media yesterday and the news media kind of took the bait. They're just going back and forth. It's going in full swing right now. Obviously, Pete hegg sonth is angry at the news media for whoever it was. He's angry whoever leaked the very very very initial assessment of the attacks on the nuclear sites, and that he's angry at the news media for taking that bait and then again pushing the negative, pushing it, basically pushing this errat I mean, I have people who calling me.
00:10:32
Speaker 1: And saying, oh, I guess we didn't do that much damage. I mean, like, are you are you kidding? Are you kidding? We didn't do that much damage.
00:10:37
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's incredible how quickly people can be convinced of something when massive numbers of bunker buster bombs are dropped on top of something.
00:10:47
Speaker 1: I mean, what do they think.
00:10:47
Speaker 2: This was built by some future master race from another planet? I mean, of course it did massive damage. You know, sometimes you can go ahead with your own logical assumptions. But heg Seth is drawing this fire on himself right now. The news meeting. He didn't like him before, Now they really don't. He better watches back because they're going to come up with some more dirt on him.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: I have a bad feeling.
00:11:08
Speaker 6: That could be.
00:11:09
Speaker 5: But look, I think he's such a shining example of what a great cabinet member he turned out to be. Right, he had such difficulty in his confirmation hearings, you know, the salacious rumors about him, and he has really turned out to be one of President Trump's most useful cabinet members. And to see him up there just taking command of this and really laying out the story. I mean, he really was doing storytelling, as was by the way the Joint chiefs of Staff. I thought his storytelling ability and his ability to lay out the timeline and that the human side of the story of the troops who went and did the mission, I thought was just incredible. And this is the benefit of having a you know, people joke about it having a Fox News cabinet, But this is the beauty of it that you can go out and make a compelling case to the American people. So I would give that press come friends yesterday and a plus plus. It was beautiful, It was well done. And look, Pete heeg Seth is doing what a Secretary of Defense should do, which is defending his troops, taking the ayre off of his troops. Meanwhile, while he's getting the hate, the people who conducted this mission are off the radar. At no pun intended to the be two bomber there, but they're off the radar.
00:12:22
Speaker 6: They're at home.
00:12:23
Speaker 5: They're enjoying their next meal with their families today.
00:12:27
Speaker 6: So that's a good thing.
00:12:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know, time to get to it.
00:12:32
Speaker 2: But also I think listen, by the way, it's a real it's a real you know who says what kind of thing?
00:12:37
Speaker 1: It's real Rochamont kind of Thingeople.
00:12:39
Speaker 2: People either really love or hate the performance that Pete heggs hath put on at that news conference. I've had no one go down the middle with me. Everyone either loves it or hates it. But one of the things I'd like to see also is now that Iran is so badly damaged without major, major troops being involved anymore, I'd like to see the feuding within the Trump supporter world also stop. They're having an argu They were having an argument that was moot in the first place because we were never planning on a major troop invasion, and now they're still arguing about it even though it's pretty much over. Jennifer Kelly, have a non argumentative weekend, please, and thank you so much for joining us.
00:13:15
Speaker 1: You too, all right? Coming up? Hey, what if the sky doesn't fall in the end?
00:13:22
Speaker 2: The loss that Trump supporters took so badly earlier this year in Wisconsin suddenly doesn't look so bad after all. Remember Elon Musk got involved in that Wisconsin judgeship race. I'll tell you what's really happening now. You might be surprised. And I promise I tried. I tried to get my parents to use GPS. I promise. Okay, this isn't my parents' car that however, did this car here did make a wrong turn? Can you say wrong turn? This isn't just going down the stets. These are the famous Spanish steps in Rome. This is a worldwide Landmark. What the hell happened here? The American Sunrise Early Edition is coming right back.
00:14:11
Speaker 1: You know, we almost always.
00:14:12
Speaker 2: Show you big cities for these morning live shots across America. So here's a nice one. This is rising fawn, Georgia. What a beautiful sight. This is a beautiful country, so much that people don't see necessarily. I'm glad we got that shot up. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us on a special Thank you for those of you watching and commenting on Getter and Rumble.
00:14:35
Speaker 1: Okay, Wisconsin's Supreme Court has.
00:14:37
Speaker 2: Rejected a request to reconsider the state's congressional maps ahead of next year's midterm elections, all but ensuring that the current maps will remain in place from twenty twenty six.
00:14:49
Speaker 1: Now, why is this huge news? Hey? Because remember the hullabaloo in March.
00:14:53
Speaker 2: It was just March, folks, when all that outside money from both sides, including a ton from Elon Musk, was poured into that special election in for the there was a vacant Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin was a special election, and everyone was fighting it, and everyone was told, especially Trump, supporters that if the Democrat won, they would be redistricting and that the House majority would be lost. YadA, YadA, YadA. Her name was Susan Crawford. That's who won. By the way, Well it didn't happen. Never mind, the court decided not to make any changes. I'm not saying it wasn't important for everyone to pay attention to this election. A good educational experience, but it's just a reminder that not everything is always so negative all the time, and you don't always have to be so afraid and negative all the time. This court made the right decision not going to do a redistricting on the fly, and the Democrat money that went heavily into her election all for this one reason down the drain.
00:15:51
Speaker 1: Maybe they could have given that money to charity instead.
00:15:54
Speaker 2: All right, Getting back to the attempts to spark feuds within the Trump supporter camp I talked about that just a moment to go.
00:16:00
Speaker 3: You know.
00:16:01
Speaker 2: One of the big narratives supposedly fueling the spit the split, the spit the split is the so called neocons are apparently angry.
00:16:08
Speaker 1: They're angry that.
00:16:10
Speaker 2: The war between Israel and Iran is ending of course that's nonsense.
00:16:14
Speaker 1: That's the opposite of the truth. They're ecstatic.
00:16:17
Speaker 2: I can tell you that because I know some of them, and why wouldn't they be when the ceasefire essentially freezes in place the massive war gains made by Israel over Iran. Now, look, the October seventh attacks in twenty twenty three.
00:16:31
Speaker 1: Were absolutely awful.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: The people who died in Israel, all the civilians, about thirty of them during this brief engagement directly between Iran and in Israel, awful, terrible. Iran deliberately targeting civilians, All that is terrible. I am not making light of that at all. But Israel now wakes up this morning and the United States wakes up this morning with Iran severely, severely, severely weakened.
00:16:53
Speaker 1: There's no other way around it.
00:16:54
Speaker 2: Stop listening to everyone from the far right and the far left who doesn't know what they're talking about. Kamas is almost done Cuzvola.
00:17:01
Speaker 1: Is so weak.
00:17:02
Speaker 2: It couldn't even adhere to their masters in Iran when they told them to attack Israel during this brief war. They couldn't do it. They couldn't do it. They don't have the means to do so. And so here we are this morning. Everyone should be happy. I don't care what your political stripe is, certainly not within the Trump camp. Everyone within the Trump camp should be really happy because the Trump administration and his friendship with Israel made this possible. And if you're not in the Trump camp, if you're far left liberal, you should also be happy. I'm sorry. Terrorism isn't good for you either. You need to wake up and realize that maybe you will one day. All right, we are days away from what has been dubbed the Rio reset. That's the greatest threat to the US dollars, global dominance, and over eighty years on July six bricks nations. That's Russia, China, India, Iran. I don't know if Iran's gonna be able to do it, but anyway, they're part of the bricks Nations. Many more of them are expected to unveil their plans to circumvent the US dollar, thus cratering its value.

Okay, but the folks with skin in the game keep telling us otherwhy. I'll tell you what they're telling us. American Sunrise Early Edition. We'll be right back. Hey, we're sticking with smaller town America this morning on our bumpshots.
00:19:25
Speaker 1: I liked this. This is Scottsville, Kentucky this morning. Beautiful morning. There, I like their lack of traffic at this time.
00:19:31
Speaker 2: Nice to know that there's some places that aren't dominated by cars. Welcome back to American Sunrise early edition. It's a no time Friday. Let's take a look at where the markets are going to begin today, more green arrows.
00:19:40
Speaker 1: Look at that.
00:19:41
Speaker 2: It's been a massive valley for stocks the last few days. Looks like we're going to open up more than one hundred and twenty points up on the Dow to start the day, Nasdak even higher percentage wise. Gold is down, but it's still I mean, every time I see that three handle on the parounce number for gold, I'm pretty impressed. Crude oil is up, We're only at sixty five dollars a barrel. We should still see some prices coming down at the gas pump. And now let's take a look at bitcoin and those cryptocurrencies, and you can see still in that one oh four to one ten window, we're at one oh seven, so we're on the higher end of it.
00:20:11
Speaker 1: Now.
00:20:12
Speaker 2: I wonder, wonder, wonder when it will break out of that one to ten level and go above that right now?
00:20:16
Speaker 1: Though not there.
00:20:18
Speaker 2: Hey, if you want to be a pessimist, you could point to the final reading on the economy, I guess for the first three months of this year. The Commerce Department came out with that yesterday. It said that the economy for the first three months of this year, this is their final reading on it, contracted fell by half of one percent. But okay, first of all, remember all the indications, even from some of the pessimists, are that the economy in this quarter that's about to end on Monday. Monday will be the last day of the second quarter of the year. They're all saying that the economy in this quarter is going gangbusters. Seen some numbers in the four or even five percent range of growth. That's incredible because again, a lot of people were expecting the tariffs to slow things down. Turned out that they actually sped things up more than anything else because people.
00:21:01
Speaker 1: Made purchases ahead of the tarras.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: And now that the tarris are in place, it's not killing consumer spending as much as people thought it would. It's slowing some of it down in some sectors, but it's not killing it as much as they thought it would. Now, Look, folks, I'm not here to always be a cheerleader and say, hey, it's great. Stop markets are at all time highs, by the way. You know, look, I'm not here to say that all the time. Again, you have to be very smart about this. It's just that again, think about it. When the markets go down precipitously, every news organization goes crazy about it, makes it into their headline. Who's making a headline about the all time highs? I don't see it anywhere. Even some of the financial news programs. They're reporting it, but they're not making a huge deal out of it, and that is just intellectually dishonest. You're going to go crazy when things go negative, You've got to go similarly crazy when they go positive. Or how about this, how about not going crazy at all? How about calmly and firmly just telling people exactly what's going on. That's what I'm trying to do here, folks. We are at all time highs for most of the stocks right now, but most of the stock indicies they're just about there. And that is news that I think is generally good. You can push back on me on that, but that is the honest truth, just from a maths standpoint, and I hope you'll understand.
00:22:08
Speaker 1: You get that here.
00:22:09
Speaker 2: You're not going to get crazy cheerleading. You're also not going to get crying on this program. Okay, here's a sneaky play on. President Trump is reportedly thinking about putting into place when it comes to his problems, to say the least, with FED shair Jay Powell, the chairman of the FED. As you know, President Trump's been slamming Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates enough and hasn't done it in quite a while. He wants him to do that. He feels he's being very, very unwise not to do it. So there are a number of reports now that President Trump is going to a point a shadow FED chair because j. Powell's term doesn't end in office until twenty twenty six. In the meantime, President Trump might appoint someone else to be the shadow FED chair, someone who will go out and talk to the news media and say what he or she would do if they were running the FED, and in more detail than President Trump does on true social posts. This will put a tremendous amount of pressure on Jay Powell. I don't know if he'll be able to withstand that. Maybe he'll step down early.
00:23:01
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:23:02
Speaker 2: But President Trump is doing a full court press on J. Powell and the FED in a way that no president really has done before, and a lot of people watching. I know you want to end the FED anyway, but this is an interesting new tactic that the president might use again. Might let's see if he does it. Okay, if you can't beat him, join him. That's what the bankrupt weight watchers is doing with Novo nor Disc Novo Nordice. That's that's Danish company company from Denmark that makes a lot of those weight loss injectable drugs like Wegov.
00:23:29
Speaker 1: Now, when those became all the rage.
00:23:32
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, you knew it was bad news for weight watchers trying to push the old fashioned exercise and diet method to try to lose weight. Now, listen, folks, I know that there are some people where that never works. So I'm not trying to pretend that diet. Just telling everyone to diet and exercise is always going to work for a lot of people. But it is sad to see people moving away from healthier choices and going with injection. I don't love that, but I understand it's big money, so weight losser weight watchers.
00:23:59
Speaker 1: Couldn't beat it. They're going to join them.
00:24:00
Speaker 2: Novo Nordisk is now going to sell some of its injectable drugs, especially we go Be, via the Weight Watchers network. That's the way it goes in America today.

Speaker 2: All this work at home stuff that people have been doing over the year is from COVID. Before that people started to work from home. You know what I'm talking about. Well, you know it's been bad for commercial real estate. A lot of office spaces empty in downtown America. It's bad for those downtown sandwich shops, bad for them and the candy shop and stuff where people used to go and take a break. But think about it, it's also really bad for the car and truck companies. You know, to go into work. Most people actually get into their car and go to work. You would think that the Detroit auto companies would have been big on making sure that at least they were an example for coming into work every day. You know, kind of kind of hurts their industry that people are working at home. I mean, you get it, folks, right, don't you. Well Ford finally got it yesterday and made the announcement that their workers, at least in the Detroit area need to come into work at least four days a week. You know, they probably should have said this a little bit earlier. Maybe they should also spend some money licensing some studies about how it's better for people to get out of their home sometimes and work. I got to tell you something, I don't love it. I wish I were going into an office more often. I'm sure a lot of you love working from home. That's great, but if you're a car company, you kind of want people to get into their cars and go to work.
00:26:02
Speaker 1: That's a big driver.
00:26:04
Speaker 2: No pun intended for the auto industry and for it is deciding now just now to set an example. They probably should have done this five years ago. But that's just my take. And now for some interesting palace intrigue. I hope you like those kinds of stories. Elon Musk has fired ome Ed Afshar. He is the automaker's vice president, or was the vice president of manufacturing and operations. This comes as Tesla's sale continues. Their sales continue to fall. They've been having a rough number.
00:26:30
Speaker 1: You guys know what's happening.
00:26:31
Speaker 2: First of all, Tesla has a lot of competition from these very very cheap Chinese models that are killing them in competition, especially in.
00:26:37
Speaker 1: Places like Europe.
00:26:39
Speaker 2: And as you know, that's still that political boycott against Elon Musk, people who supposedly love their cars but hate him. I'm seeing these bumper stickers saying I bought this.
00:26:48
Speaker 1: Tesla before Elon supported Trump.
00:26:49
Speaker 2: I mean, all these virtue signalers. But it is hurting sales. Now, a lot of observers are going to be inclined to blame this firing Aboush far on Musk's frustrations and not on anything as did or didn't know.
00:27:01
Speaker 1: What if we start.
00:27:02
Speaker 2: Seeing some new newly modeled teslas that are really wow cars.
00:27:08
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll have been some reason for this. We'll have to see.
00:27:12
Speaker 2: One would hope that Musk is just getting a temper tantramer and firing a good guy who's helped that company do so much. We'll have to see. In the corporate world, these kinds of things make big news. I can't can't say even when a CEO steps down, it doesn't make as big a news as when a top lieutenant is fired, because usually that means another company might really benefit from the firing.
00:27:31
Speaker 1: That's how Wall.
00:27:32
Speaker 2: Street looks at these kinds of things, and of course people in the car industry. Okay, not every story we do about Nissan is bad.
00:27:39
Speaker 1: Here's proof.
00:27:40
Speaker 2: Nissan was just named the number two most reliable car the entire brand was by JD. Power in Associated's second only to Lexus. So that means that Nissan was the only non luxury brand was the number one non luxury brand because it was number two to Lexus, which of course is a luxury brand.
00:27:55
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, Nissan makes some good cars. I know.
00:27:58
Speaker 2: I joke about the company and their problems all the time here. I would hate to see that company go out. What I'd like to see again, as I've been saying for a few months, Nissan to make more of these cars here in the United States. That would be awesome. I don't want to see a company go bankrupt. I know I'm not a grinch. Sorry, some of you wanted me to be one, but I'm not going to. Okay, I've made some wrong turns in my day, but this one you're about to see is really ridiculous. Earlier this week, an eighty year old driver in Italy took a wrong turn in Rome and ended up going down the famed Spanish steps. These are the eighteenth century, you know, landmark steps in the city of Rome. I mean, I'm half expecting them to crumble every time I see this video. Police say they helped the.
00:28:41
Speaker 1: Man out of the car, and that the man they didn't say his name.
00:28:44
Speaker 2: He's lucky he doesn't have his name out there. He tested negative for alcohol, but he definitely tes positive for being confused. This could have been a disaster, by the way, he could have destroyed a very valuable landmark. I don't know what to say about this. How could you possibly make that wrong turn? Is really a wrong turn?
00:29:02
Speaker 1: Okay? Eric Adams will be.
00:29:04
Speaker 2: The one who really goes up against Zoron mam Donnie in the hopes of saving the city, the big city, New York from a communist nightmare, I will explain. And the details are leaking out about a new peace deal for the whole Middle East, and they seem to be too good to be true, but it's a nice place to start the details coming up. When American Sunrise Early Edition continues. It's Friday, June twenty seventh. Here are some of this morning's top stories. You're looking at the two faces of the man most people now believe is the only realistic hope to save America's largest city. He's Mayor at Eric Adams, and he looked lost and unprepared at one event, but cool and collected at the other. Which one will be the guy who takes on Zoron Mamdannie, I'd like to know. Secretary of Defend Pete Hegseth. He makes himself the object of c mainstream media hate as he scolds the industry for its coverage of Operation Midnight Hammer.
00:30:05
Speaker 1: The media takes the bait.
00:30:07
Speaker 2: They decided to talk about themselves and defend themselves instead of propping up America you know, we had a great victory. Maybe they might want to put something positive in there for once. Israel's leading newspaper says President Trump and Prime Minister in Natanyaho have launched a plan to end the war in Gaza in two weeks, bring in Arab countries to rebuild the territory, and expand the Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia and Syria.
00:30:32
Speaker 1: In return, all Israel.
00:30:34
Speaker 2: Has to do is kind of sort of recognize the palace and the authority as maybe sort of one day getting a state.
00:30:40
Speaker 1: It seems too good to be true, but I love it.
00:30:44
Speaker 2: And they keep telling us the US economy is about to collapse and it's gonna take your four oh one k with you and it's all gonna be terrible. Wait a minute, it socks are out all time highs. The economy is going gangbusters right now. You know, maybe the sky isn't falling after all. American Sunrise Early addition continues now. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. It is a no tie Friday. We've been going day after day after day. It was a long weekend. We had a long week huge news. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I know a lot of you, like me, are probably looking for a break before you go on your weekend break. You gotta stay with Real America's voice all day. Then you can have your weekend break. And I'm glad you're joining us right now helping me to get through some of the big stories of today, some that you may have missed because it's been so busy. Is former Jewish Press editor and chief Elliott Resnik. Elliott, I want to play for you two sound bites. Whose are gonna be dueling soundbites. Sound bites one is going to be Eric Adams. The first one is from yesterday on the steps of City Hall. Listen and watch this.
00:31:48
Speaker 7: This is a biblical moment, you know, when Jesus was on the cross, he said, God, forgive them, for.
00:31:55
Speaker 1: They know not what they do.
00:31:57
Speaker 7: All these negroes were asking me to step down God for of them.
00:32:10
Speaker 1: Okay, we got the order wrong, but that's okay. That's the first one.
00:32:13
Speaker 2: Now, you may not love exactly what Eric Adams was saying there, folks, but he sounds pretty cool, very very confident. He's getting a good response from the crowd. That's the Eric Adams, that you know that again lover hate In New York City mayors, they're supposed to be good on their feet talking to crowds. That one was affected now here he is yesterday on the steps of City Hall.
00:32:33
Speaker 1: And what a difference this makes. Look at this a lot.
00:32:37
Speaker 4: Gives me the time to finish the talk. This is a this election, it's a real choice. This election is a choice between a cannony with a bout collar and one with a silver school. A choice between Jody thing An owns and not a curse yet, a choice between someone who's delivered lower crime, the most history, the most who housing built, built in decades, and in as simply number who did not pass a built.
00:33:10
Speaker 2: Okay, Elliott, I know you don't want to see Zoraon Mamdani become the mayor of New York City because this could really kickstart something all across the country with people who are very anti Semitic and very very communist becoming leaders of major cities. But you got it, you got it. I'm sure you're a little bit nervous, like which Eric Adams is going to show up? Is it gonna be the one from the first SoundBite where he's getting that great response from the crowd and he's riffing and he's doing great. Or the other one where he's reading off a piece of paper that looks like it was printed a moment before he's stumbling over his good lines. I mean, which one is it gonna be?
00:33:40
Speaker 1: Elliott?
00:33:40
Speaker 2: I mean, we've got something invested in this, don't we?
00:33:43
Speaker 8: We do, indeed, And to be honest, I'm not so sure why we should give up on the Republican Party. At Curtis Sleewall. I know a lot of people say, oh, you know, the Republican Party is very weak, it's non viable in New York City. We'll make it viable. I don't understand or agree with the strategy of trying to win by inhabiting the other camp and trying to win under sheep's clothing, sorry, under wolf's clothing. Take you the Democratic mantle and try to win under the Democratic mantle. No, at this point, the Democratic Party is terrible. It's immoral, it's un American. We should not try to win as Democrats. We should try to win as Republicans. And this is not some pipe dream. Giuliani won as a Republican in New York. Mike Bloomberg won as a Republican in New York. It is possible to win as a Republican in New York, and we should try to make the Republican Party viable and try to get curtse Lye well elected and not always having us voting in democratic product primaries and trying to win under the democratic mantle. In my opinion, you.
00:34:41
Speaker 1: Know, I agree with you in principle.
00:34:43
Speaker 2: One of the things that I've been slapped in the face with over the last couple of years is how different New York City is. It is so different demographically and philosophically than where it was when Mayor Giuliani first won his first election for mayor in nineteen ninety three, and it's also really different from where it was in two thousand and one when Mike Bloomberg won the election for his first term as Mayor of New York City. So I want to talk about another player in here, because again this is a national story with national olymplications. Bill Ackman, the billionaire mainstream Democrat, basically, that's what I'll call him, who came slowly but surely over to the Trump camp during the twenty twenty four campaign, huge following on social media, and people really read what he had to say, and it was fascinating to see this very wealthy, smart guy wake up from the trance of anti Trump sentiment, realizing what was going on in the country and suddenly become a pretty interesting and good voice for the Trump campaign and for common sense. There are people who want him to be a Republican and join the race, maybe replace Curtis Sliwa. And at the very least Ackman is promising to back bank roll financially anyone who he thinks could really beat Mom Donnie. But Elliott, I gotta tell you, you must see as I see the dangers of this.
00:35:58
Speaker 1: This could be very dangerous.
00:36:00
Speaker 2: Billionaires like Bill Ackman come into this race and look like they're dominating it. Won't that give a great talking point. More than a talking point, it might even be a rallying cry for the Mom Donnie forces to say, look at these evil, rich people, white guys coming in and trying to hurt an immigrant who wants to be good for New York City. I mean, I see this backfiring. If this isn't done properly.
00:36:21
Speaker 8: He could try to say that, but I think it will only go so far. At the end of the day, I think despite what all the Democrats say, I think they kind of trust Billy in there as people trust successful people. So they see somebody who built a successful company, they said to themselves, hmm, maybe he'll be able to run a successful city as well. That's why Bloomberg got elected, That's why Trump got elected. So I know, Mom, Donnie will say that I just don't know how effective it will be, and I agree with you. I think Ackman might be another Bloomberg in that he's doesn't have a huge track record, so i'e can attack him saying, oh, you did this or you did that, and he'll be presented as a moderate somebody who used to have a sober democratic background. And I think he has actually a chance of winning because of that, because he's successful, and because he doesn't have that much of a record that you could attack him on.
00:37:06
Speaker 1: So I see what you're saying.
00:37:07
Speaker 8: I just don't know if will be that effective.
00:37:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are a lot of chess pieces moving here. We are far from really knowing what the real matchup is going to be in November in New York City, but it is only four months and like a week away, So they better get their act together soon, because it is hard, even in a place like New York where things move fast, to get a candidate established in the minds.
00:37:28
Speaker 1: Of the voters.
00:37:29
Speaker 2: All right, let's go over to the Middle East right now, Elliott, because according to Israel Hyom, which is the number one newspaper in Israel by circulation and by clicks on the Internet, they floated a story yesterday. They're reporting that President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Nintania, who have already hammered out a deal, or a major region wide peace deal. It would include the war in Gaza ending in two weeks and getting the hostages back. It would include countries like Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, at least those at least Egypt for sure, coming into Gaza and rebuilding it. It would include expanding the Abraham Accords to include Syria, if you can believe it. But Saudi Arabia, which many people thought and the only thing Israel has to give back in this deal. Again, it's all floated. It's theoretical, I guess at this point. But this newspaper, which is very close to the Prime Minister, is saying this is, you know, really in the works.
00:38:16
Speaker 1: The only thing.
00:38:17
Speaker 2: Israel quota would have to give back is some form of recognition of the Palestinian authority as perhaps a future state, which you and I both know they're never going to take. No Palestinian group will ever accept the state as long as.
00:38:28
Speaker 1: A Jewish state exists. So it's really kind of a mood point.
00:38:30
Speaker 2: It's like giving up an imaginary dollar that's never going to be printed. So what's your take on this, Elliott, Because I know it's just a floated idea, but I sure like it. I hope that even ninety percent of it is true because that would make me happy.
00:38:43
Speaker 8: I hate to disagree with you. As an American, I don't have it. It's a real firm of opinion on the topic. As a Jew, though, I am opposed to it.
00:38:50
Speaker 1: And here's why. Because Gaza is part of Biblical Israel.
00:38:54
Speaker 8: And therefore it should be run by the State of Israel, and it should be inhabited by the people of Israel. It should not be or inhabited by Arabs. And that's exactly what this deal calls for. It calls for Egypt and the UAE and two other Arab nations to run Gaza. I don't want Arabs running Gaza.
00:39:09
Speaker 1: I want Jews running Gaza.
00:39:11
Speaker 8: And also, as a further point, Israel right now is surrounded by four Muslim nations. I don't want Israel to invite an additional two or three Muslim nations to its front doorstep to Gaza to help run Gaza. Now. I know these are supposed to be moderate Muslim nations, but today's moderate Muslim nation could very easily become tomorrow's radical Muslim nation. That's what happened in nineteen seventy nine in Iran. One day it was a moderate Muslle nation, the next day it was a radical Muscle nation. That's what happened in Egypt in twenty twelve when the Muslim Brotherhood took over.
00:39:41
Speaker 1: So I don't want Arab.
00:39:42
Speaker 8: Nations, Musl nations in Gaza, whether they're moderate, whether they're a radical, And between you and me, I'm not so sure these moderate Muslim nations love Israel that much either. But that's a separate discussion for a separate time.
00:39:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, you make a good argument again that too.
00:39:57
Speaker 1: In that situation.
00:39:58
Speaker 2: Also, a lot of chess pieces around I only have about thirty seconds left, Elliott, but I want to get your take on some of the Democrats in the in the Democratic the Repblican, some of the Democrats in the party who are in an elected office who seem to have very very big dreams that I think need to be squashed because they just aren't facing reality.
00:40:15
Speaker 1: One of them is JB. Pritzker. Now he's the governor of Illinois.
00:40:19
Speaker 2: He announced yesterday that he's running for a third term, but everybody knows he has presidential aspirations. He will most likely be a candidate unless something happens in the twenty twenty eight primaries for the Democrats, or they allow primaries this time. They don't really usually do that, do they. But I have to make this statement. I don't think that Jewish Americans like JB. Pritzker or Josh Shapiro and there's some other names out there have a realistic chance to get anywhere in the Democratic national primaries cars for president. I don't think they have a chance in this party. The Democratic Party has decided they don't want Jewish people prominently. A lot of people argue that if Josh Shapiro had been Kamala Harris's running mate. It would have been a much closer election. I think so too. But there's there's no way they're going to put a Jewish person that prominently in the party anymore.
00:41:03
Speaker 1: I just I'm sad to say it, but I wonder if you agree. I think you have a very good point.
00:41:08
Speaker 8: I think, especially young Democratic voters are not going to vote for a Jew unless he's a self hating Jew, in which case he might have a chance. But otherwise you're right. I think they've done polling of young Democrats, and I think the majority of young Democrats at this point take the Arab side in the Middle East conflict, not the Jews side. They want the Jews basically out.
00:41:23
Speaker 1: Of the Middle East.
00:41:25
Speaker 8: I don't know, go back to Poland baby into the guest chambers. I'm not sure exactly where that are really six two steps ahead. They just want the Jews out. So I think you're right. I think it's very unfortunate, and I think a lot of Jews don't want if they want to do. You know, the APAC always wants to be bipartisan. It would be nice to be have a bipartisan consensus that the Jews are human beings who deserve normal rights and don't deserve to be killed. But at this point, I think you're right. Young Democrats don't see the world that way.
00:41:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough situation, and again I don't think it's necessarily hopeless in some local elections, but nationwide, this is where they're going.
00:41:58
Speaker 1: They need to figure this one out.
00:41:59
Speaker 2: And for all all of you watching is saying, well, then why don't more Jewish people vote for Republicans? I got good news for you. The trend is, your friend. Jewish people voted for Donald Trump in the highest numbers we've seen in over forty years, and more importantly than that, in the swing counties of Pennsylvania where this election really turned folks, there was a massive turn to Donald Trump from Jewish voters.
00:42:18
Speaker 1: Don't believe these national reports.
00:42:20
Speaker 2: Don't use Google anymore, period, But Google's got all these crazy numbers for Kamala Harris.
00:42:24
Speaker 1: They're not true. They left out California and.
00:42:26
Speaker 2: New York, the two biggest states with Jewish voters, So those reports are bunk. I can tell you that what Elliott's saying and what I'm saying is starting to resonate with American Jewish people. It's getting there. I know it's not great, but honestly, they're moving in the right direction in my opinion. Elliott Resnick, thank you so much for joining us.
00:42:42
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend.
00:42:43
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me YouTube. Appreciate it all.
00:42:46
Speaker 2: Right, Coming up, it's not just partisanship that's destroying the integrity of the mainstream American news media. It's also another key failing that goes beyond left versus right, and we saw that yesterday with this news conference. David Rodian, I will discuss when American Sunrise Early Edition.
00:43:02
Speaker 1: Comes right back. If you build it, they will come. I don't know. Is that the Field of Dreams. I think it is Dietersville, Iowa. If it isn't, it looks like it is.
00:43:20
Speaker 2: All right, we're getting some really good shots of non urban America this morning on.
00:43:25
Speaker 1: Real America's Voice. Here an American Sunrise Early Edition.
00:43:28
Speaker 2: I love this shot. Love the movie Rest in Peace. Rae Liota who played Shoeless Joe Jackson in that movie. By the way, welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. If you think the establishment media's only problem is that it's too left wing, or maybe some of you watching I think it's too right wing. You actually have them been paying attention. The bigger problem is that the news media is almost always negative, frightening, and its ton and outlook is just sad.
00:43:52
Speaker 1: There are a lot of.
00:43:52
Speaker 2: People in the news media, folks who think that their only job is to find problems with things. I gotta tell you, when I ran newsrooms and ran programs, policy was you do a negative story about an issue more than twice. The third time, you have to bring in someone who has a solution, even if you don't personally agree, or you can't do the story anymore because you're not really doing anybody any good despite pounding and pounding their same rock all the time. So, David Brode, I want to bring you in right now because I think that's also playing a role. Look, we know the hatred of Trump is so strong, and that's why the news media wants to pour cold water on the great achievements, at least in my opinion of Operation Midnight Hammer. But there's something else going on, David, which goes beyond Trump and goes beyond right and left in America, which is, we have a news media that thinks it's his job to tell you that the sky is falling all the time. I've been talking all during this program about how the stock market is at all time high. Hey, that isn't always great news for everyone. But you can bet that if the market we're crashing by the same numbers that it's going up, that would be the number one story in America and everyone will be pounding the table on it, not only because they will want to blame Trump, but because they think negativity is the only job we have here in the news media. David, I'm going to prove that wrong. You look wonderful this morning. Let's it's Friday, come on, guys.
00:45:02
Speaker 9: Well, Jake, and that shirt you're wearing is to die for. So let's just call it a day at that point. Now, of course, of course you're right. And here's the thing, let's be honest. I mean, the job of There's a lot of reasons the media exists, but one is to be obviously a check and balance right on our politicians. I mean, in essence, it begins with a noble cause. It begins with a in essence, a baseline of distrust of politicians in general, which is a good thing. Ask questions, try to get answers, try to figure it out. That's good, but it's gotten way out of control to the point where you know, I think Trump is exposed at all. There was a twenty twenty two twenty twenty two excuse me, survey that looked at specific emotions that the media conveys more than others. And here are the emotions anger, fear, disgust, and sadness. It's actually quantitatively analyzed where the media has play on those specific emotions according to the folks that watch and some that don't, but a lot.
00:46:05
Speaker 1: That watch television news.
00:46:07
Speaker 9: So this is you know, it's not just your opinion or my opinion or what we just see, which by the way, would be good enough evidence, but it's actually quantitatively proven that the media is just gone way overboard. And you know, I think it just kind of goes to what we've seen all along with this media. We talk about negativity as it relates to Donald Trump, but you're right, bottom line is, you know who wants to be around Debbie Downer all day long? I mean, let's just be honest. I mean, you know, at that point, you know, get a new bunch of friends, Well, guess what, we're your friends right here on real America's Voice great.
00:46:39
Speaker 2: Apparently the number one reaction to seeing me on the air is incredible sympathy and embarrassment. But that's mostly for people who grew up in Bayonne. We'll get into that another time.
00:46:47
Speaker 1: Hey, you got two hours the Sunrise coming up? As we have this Friday. I'm Jake Novak.
00:46:52
Speaker 2: This has been American Sunrise Early Edition. I will see you on Monday. Get some rest, everybody,
Speaker 1: Ahead on an American Sunrise early edition.
00:00:03
Speaker 2: You're looking at the two faces of the man most people believe is now the only realistic hope to save America's largest city. Mayor Eric Adams looked lost and hired at one event, but cool and collected at the other. But which one will be the guy who takes on Zoron Momdam. Secretary of State Pete Hegseth makes himself the object of seething mainstream media hate as he scolds the industry for its coverage of Operation Midnight Hammer. Apparently America can't even neutralize one of its most hideous enemies without partisan hacks deciding they'd rather fight amongst themselves. Israel's leading newspaper says President Trump and Prime Minister Nittanyao have launched a plan to end the war in Gaza in two weeks, bring in Arab countries to rebuild the territory, and expand the Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia and even Syria.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: Not bad for a day's work.
00:01:01
Speaker 2: Remember the massive attention everyone gave that Wisconsin Supreme Court race earlier this year, You know, the one Elon Musk spent so much time and money on, but the Democrats still won. We'll wait until you hear what just happened as a result of that election. And they keep telling us the US economy is about to collapse and it will take your four oh one K with it. But don't look now where at all time hies on Wall Street and there's good news for Main Street too.
00:01:29
Speaker 1: American Sunrise Early Edition begins. Now.
00:01:34
Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom, and the values that built this nation takes centers.
00:01:44
Speaker 1: To your good, thieves and bad deeds. That's how we're gonna judge you.
00:01:48
Speaker 3: Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the stories that matter.
00:01:52
Speaker 1: He will be letting the public know regularly what we have found.
00:01:55
Speaker 3: American Sunrise Early Edition with your host Jake Novak art Now.
00:02:06
Speaker 2: I am Jake Novak. Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. It is a no Taie Friday, and can we just take a breath for a moment for what has been more than just an incredibly busy week of news here in this country and all over the world. But it's been more than that. It's been several several days beyond a week. So let's take a breath let's look forward to the weekend. But I got to get you all informed and prepared to take some perspective, and they know exactly what's going on right now. Joining me to help me do that is nationally syndicated radio host Jennifer Kelly.
00:02:38
Speaker 1: Jennifer, you know, at first, when.
00:02:40
Speaker 2: This story broke, I sure that people beyond New York would care so much about this election for mayor. I thought maybe people will say, ah, that's New York, and I don't care about New York. But even the people saying that in the first sentence then go on and on and talk about how, oh my god, those New Yorkers can't elect that Zoron Mamdanni's socialist, communist guy. So it really is resonating nationally. So I want everyone to take a look at the guy who I think all of us agreed, at least most of us, is really the only hope to defeat this guy. This is the current mayor, Eric Adams, really officially kicking off his general election campaign against Mom Donnie yesterday.
00:03:16
Speaker 4: Check this out in a lot ex gives me the time to finish the job. This is a This election is a real choice, this eflection, This is a choice between a Canada with a bookla and one with a suit till the school, A choice between Jodie finger Naws and Manicude. A choice between someone who delivered lower crime, the most dog in history, the most new houses built, built in decades, and in a simply member who did not pass a built.
00:03:51
Speaker 2: All right, Jennifer, I don't know what's going on there, because that's Eric Adams reading off. It looks like a pieces of paper that were scrawled maybe a second before. He doesn't always speak so poorly, or it just seemed unprepared. I mean, he had a good line there about blue collar versus silver spoon, but I don't know if anyone made that out now. I think maybe the wind was blowing. I don't know what happened if he maybe he had a teleprompter and it didn't work. But to me, this was not an inspiring kickoff to his campaign, not in New York, where the mayor of New York's got to be someone who talks off the cuff and can go back and forth with reporters, let alone a setup speech that he knew he was going to give hours or maybe days before.
00:04:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you heard horns beeping their taxis going by. I mean, here's the reason Eric Adams has to read off of a sheet of paper.
00:04:39
Speaker 6: He now has to be a different person than he was when he was mayor of New York City. And he still is.
00:04:45
Speaker 5: Mayor of New York City, but he has to now be a different version of Eric Adams. He has to be the more acceptable version of Eric Adams because he's now running against a far left, radical communist.
00:04:57
Speaker 6: And this is the sad.
00:04:58
Speaker 5: State of affairs at New York's city is in what a huge opportunity, by the way, and I'm going to violate Ronald Reagan's eleventh commandment here, I have to talk about the Republican Party in New York. They have been asleep at the switch, letting people like Curtis lee Wap love him to death. A very nice man, but he barely broke one percent in the results this week. And that is a terrible day at the office of your New York City when you consider Jake that in the last mayoral election, in the post COVID, post summer of twenty twenty riots, post Black Lives Matter marches that were shutting down the city, we had a huge opportunity in New York City, and that was ninety one percent of registered Democrat voters said they would be willing to cross party lines and vote for a Republican on the number one issue facing the city at that time, and that was crime. And we missed an opportunity to put somebody like Andrew Giuliani, someone with a big name in there, and that is just a huge missed opportunity.
00:06:02
Speaker 6: And now the tooth bases out of the twobe.
00:06:05
Speaker 5: We have a radical leftist communist running for mayor of the largest city in the nation and Eric Adams is our best guy.
00:06:13
Speaker 6: Give me a break.
00:06:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough situation. Now again more proof that this is a national story more than just the clicks on the Internet and the ratings of some of the programs we were talking about it. So, I mean, really, people really do care about this for a lot of obvious reasons, but also nationally prominent people are jumping into the discussion, and one of them is billionaire Bill Ackman. Out those of you watching this program might remember him for a number of reasons that he might remember him from the business world. That would be the most easy recognition there. But don't forget he was a mainstream Democrat. I'll put him, I'll say that. And during the election last year, he slowly but surely came around to President Trump's got a huge account on x He's got a lot of followers. People listened to him, and he came around slowly but surely to President Trump. And he's remained in a Trump's camp for the most part since the election. Now there are people asking him to actually jump into this race for mayor. He I don't think he's going to do that, but he has pledged to back with big money, someone who he thinks can beat Zarah Mom, Donnie Jennifer. I got to talk to you about this because to me, this feels like a double edged sword.
00:07:19
Speaker 1: Be great to have the.
00:07:20
Speaker 2: Support of a Bill Ackman, his financial support, but wouldn't that play into the narrative of the progressive left. I hate calling him that because they're actually regressive. They're taking his back in time. So wouldn't that play into the hands of the regressive less saying, oh, look at those rich people, those rich elites. They're going to stack the deck against what the people really want. I'm very, very worried, and I think we should all be cautious about bringing in a Bill Ackman here, especially as a candidate, but even as someone is going to be the big money backer that I think they need to go on a different route.
00:07:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a very astute observation, Jake, and I think that's true, and I think that is actually what's going to happen. You have the news overnight according to my sources saying they are the powers that be in the New York GOP are now looking to find an appointment, maybe a White House appointment for Curtis Sleewah to go do so that he can't serve on the Republican ticket and they can substitute as somebody in on the Republican side. I don't know yet who that would be, but there's no doubt all of the big money backers, and frankly, all of the Democrats who are reasonable people like Bill Ackman, people who run large banks, Chase City Bank, Wall Street, you name it, they are going to come in support of the Republicans.
00:08:38
Speaker 6: So it might be unavoidable that you have a situation like that, Jake.
00:08:42
Speaker 5: But that may be how it's going to shape up, and that may be how it needs to shape up. Because look, you've got to now overcome this name ID that Mundani now has. And look, as they say in media, there's no such thing as bad press. This guy got nothing but bad press the final three weeks of the election, and I kept telling my Republican colleagues, stopped talking about this guy, stopped saying the name over and over, you're bringing attention to him. And sure enough, he sailed to victory with seventy seven percent of the vote. I think it might be the highest return in a New York City mayoral election other than you know, the immediate post nine to eleven coalition around the other mayors. But yeah, this this is frightening, especially as someone who lives in New York City.
00:09:29
Speaker 6: I went through the riots of twenty twenty, went through the summer.
00:09:32
Speaker 5: Of twenty twenty, and then went through the ensuing years after COVID, when we basically sort of had a socialist mayor. We had you know, people acting as if, you know, we didn't have basic freedoms, and you know, just to imagine what this guy could do, it's pretty frightening.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:09:49
Speaker 2: And Andrew Cuomo another national name, you know, the former governor, former housing secretary. He's apparently not dropping out of the race. It sounded like he was a couple of days ago. This is a big mess, and I I don't know how they're going to solve it yet. A lot of chess pieces moving. Let's get to another national story. That's the demonization of the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He went after the news media yesterday and the news media kind of took the bait. They're just going back and forth. It's going in full swing right now. Obviously, Pete hegg sonth is angry at the news media for whoever it was. He's angry whoever leaked the very very very initial assessment of the attacks on the nuclear sites, and that he's angry at the news media for taking that bait and then again pushing the negative, pushing it, basically pushing this errat I mean, I have people who calling me.
00:10:32
Speaker 1: And saying, oh, I guess we didn't do that much damage. I mean, like, are you are you kidding? Are you kidding? We didn't do that much damage.
00:10:37
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's incredible how quickly people can be convinced of something when massive numbers of bunker buster bombs are dropped on top of something.
00:10:47
Speaker 1: I mean, what do they think.
00:10:47
Speaker 2: This was built by some future master race from another planet? I mean, of course it did massive damage. You know, sometimes you can go ahead with your own logical assumptions. But heg Seth is drawing this fire on himself right now. The news meeting. He didn't like him before, Now they really don't. He better watches back because they're going to come up with some more dirt on him.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: I have a bad feeling.
00:11:08
Speaker 6: That could be.
00:11:09
Speaker 5: But look, I think he's such a shining example of what a great cabinet member he turned out to be. Right, he had such difficulty in his confirmation hearings, you know, the salacious rumors about him, and he has really turned out to be one of President Trump's most useful cabinet members. And to see him up there just taking command of this and really laying out the story. I mean, he really was doing storytelling, as was by the way the Joint chiefs of Staff. I thought his storytelling ability and his ability to lay out the timeline and that the human side of the story of the troops who went and did the mission, I thought was just incredible. And this is the benefit of having a you know, people joke about it having a Fox News cabinet, But this is the beauty of it that you can go out and make a compelling case to the American people. So I would give that press come friends yesterday and a plus plus. It was beautiful, It was well done. And look, Pete heeg Seth is doing what a Secretary of Defense should do, which is defending his troops, taking the ayre off of his troops. Meanwhile, while he's getting the hate, the people who conducted this mission are off the radar. At no pun intended to the be two bomber there, but they're off the radar.
00:12:22
Speaker 6: They're at home.
00:12:23
Speaker 5: They're enjoying their next meal with their families today.
00:12:27
Speaker 6: So that's a good thing.
00:12:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know, time to get to it.
00:12:32
Speaker 2: But also I think listen, by the way, it's a real it's a real you know who says what kind of thing?
00:12:37
Speaker 1: It's real Rochamont kind of Thingeople.
00:12:39
Speaker 2: People either really love or hate the performance that Pete heggs hath put on at that news conference. I've had no one go down the middle with me. Everyone either loves it or hates it. But one of the things I'd like to see also is now that Iran is so badly damaged without major, major troops being involved anymore, I'd like to see the feuding within the Trump supporter world also stop. They're having an argu They were having an argument that was moot in the first place because we were never planning on a major troop invasion, and now they're still arguing about it even though it's pretty much over. Jennifer Kelly, have a non argumentative weekend, please, and thank you so much for joining us.
00:13:15
Speaker 1: You too, all right? Coming up? Hey, what if the sky doesn't fall in the end?
00:13:22
Speaker 2: The loss that Trump supporters took so badly earlier this year in Wisconsin suddenly doesn't look so bad after all. Remember Elon Musk got involved in that Wisconsin judgeship race. I'll tell you what's really happening now. You might be surprised. And I promise I tried. I tried to get my parents to use GPS. I promise. Okay, this isn't my parents' car that however, did this car here did make a wrong turn? Can you say wrong turn? This isn't just going down the stets. These are the famous Spanish steps in Rome. This is a worldwide Landmark. What the hell happened here? The American Sunrise Early Edition is coming right back.
00:14:11
Speaker 1: You know, we almost always.
00:14:12
Speaker 2: Show you big cities for these morning live shots across America. So here's a nice one. This is rising fawn, Georgia. What a beautiful sight. This is a beautiful country, so much that people don't see necessarily. I'm glad we got that shot up. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us on a special Thank you for those of you watching and commenting on Getter and Rumble.
00:14:35
Speaker 1: Okay, Wisconsin's Supreme Court has.
00:14:37
Speaker 2: Rejected a request to reconsider the state's congressional maps ahead of next year's midterm elections, all but ensuring that the current maps will remain in place from twenty twenty six.
00:14:49
Speaker 1: Now, why is this huge news? Hey? Because remember the hullabaloo in March.
00:14:53
Speaker 2: It was just March, folks, when all that outside money from both sides, including a ton from Elon Musk, was poured into that special election in for the there was a vacant Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin was a special election, and everyone was fighting it, and everyone was told, especially Trump, supporters that if the Democrat won, they would be redistricting and that the House majority would be lost. YadA, YadA, YadA. Her name was Susan Crawford. That's who won. By the way, Well it didn't happen. Never mind, the court decided not to make any changes. I'm not saying it wasn't important for everyone to pay attention to this election. A good educational experience, but it's just a reminder that not everything is always so negative all the time, and you don't always have to be so afraid and negative all the time. This court made the right decision not going to do a redistricting on the fly, and the Democrat money that went heavily into her election all for this one reason down the drain.
00:15:51
Speaker 1: Maybe they could have given that money to charity instead.
00:15:54
Speaker 2: All right, Getting back to the attempts to spark feuds within the Trump supporter camp I talked about that just a moment to go.
00:16:00
Speaker 3: You know.
00:16:01
Speaker 2: One of the big narratives supposedly fueling the spit the split, the spit the split is the so called neocons are apparently angry.
00:16:08
Speaker 1: They're angry that.
00:16:10
Speaker 2: The war between Israel and Iran is ending of course that's nonsense.
00:16:14
Speaker 1: That's the opposite of the truth. They're ecstatic.
00:16:17
Speaker 2: I can tell you that because I know some of them, and why wouldn't they be when the ceasefire essentially freezes in place the massive war gains made by Israel over Iran. Now, look, the October seventh attacks in twenty twenty three.
00:16:31
Speaker 1: Were absolutely awful.
00:16:32
Speaker 2: The people who died in Israel, all the civilians, about thirty of them during this brief engagement directly between Iran and in Israel, awful, terrible. Iran deliberately targeting civilians, All that is terrible. I am not making light of that at all. But Israel now wakes up this morning and the United States wakes up this morning with Iran severely, severely, severely weakened.
00:16:53
Speaker 1: There's no other way around it.
00:16:54
Speaker 2: Stop listening to everyone from the far right and the far left who doesn't know what they're talking about. Kamas is almost done Cuzvola.
00:17:01
Speaker 1: Is so weak.
00:17:02
Speaker 2: It couldn't even adhere to their masters in Iran when they told them to attack Israel during this brief war. They couldn't do it. They couldn't do it. They don't have the means to do so. And so here we are this morning. Everyone should be happy. I don't care what your political stripe is, certainly not within the Trump camp. Everyone within the Trump camp should be really happy because the Trump administration and his friendship with Israel made this possible. And if you're not in the Trump camp, if you're far left liberal, you should also be happy. I'm sorry. Terrorism isn't good for you either. You need to wake up and realize that maybe you will one day. All right, we are days away from what has been dubbed the Rio reset. That's the greatest threat to the US dollars, global dominance, and over eighty years on July six bricks nations. That's Russia, China, India, Iran. I don't know if Iran's gonna be able to do it, but anyway, they're part of the bricks Nations. Many more of them are expected to unveil their plans to circumvent the US dollar, thus cratering its value.

Hey, tarifs, we're supposed to destroy the markets, deportation, they were supposed to kill employment, and President Trump was supposed to be the grinch who stole Christmas, Easter, Konica, and Dewali. Okay, but the folks with skin in the game keep telling us otherwhy. I'll tell you what they're telling us. American Sunrise Early Edition. We'll be right back. Hey, we're sticking with smaller town America this morning on our bumpshots.
00:19:25
Speaker 1: I liked this. This is Scottsville, Kentucky this morning. Beautiful morning. There, I like their lack of traffic at this time.
00:19:31
Speaker 2: Nice to know that there's some places that aren't dominated by cars. Welcome back to American Sunrise early edition. It's a no time Friday. Let's take a look at where the markets are going to begin today, more green arrows.
00:19:40
Speaker 1: Look at that.
00:19:41
Speaker 2: It's been a massive valley for stocks the last few days. Looks like we're going to open up more than one hundred and twenty points up on the Dow to start the day, Nasdak even higher percentage wise. Gold is down, but it's still I mean, every time I see that three handle on the parounce number for gold, I'm pretty impressed. Crude oil is up, We're only at sixty five dollars a barrel. We should still see some prices coming down at the gas pump. And now let's take a look at bitcoin and those cryptocurrencies, and you can see still in that one oh four to one ten window, we're at one oh seven, so we're on the higher end of it.
00:20:11
Speaker 1: Now.
00:20:12
Speaker 2: I wonder, wonder, wonder when it will break out of that one to ten level and go above that right now?
00:20:16
Speaker 1: Though not there.
00:20:18
Speaker 2: Hey, if you want to be a pessimist, you could point to the final reading on the economy, I guess for the first three months of this year. The Commerce Department came out with that yesterday. It said that the economy for the first three months of this year, this is their final reading on it, contracted fell by half of one percent. But okay, first of all, remember all the indications, even from some of the pessimists, are that the economy in this quarter that's about to end on Monday. Monday will be the last day of the second quarter of the year. They're all saying that the economy in this quarter is going gangbusters. Seen some numbers in the four or even five percent range of growth. That's incredible because again, a lot of people were expecting the tariffs to slow things down. Turned out that they actually sped things up more than anything else because people.
00:21:01
Speaker 1: Made purchases ahead of the tarras.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: And now that the tarris are in place, it's not killing consumer spending as much as people thought it would. It's slowing some of it down in some sectors, but it's not killing it as much as they thought it would. Now, Look, folks, I'm not here to always be a cheerleader and say, hey, it's great. Stop markets are at all time highs, by the way. You know, look, I'm not here to say that all the time. Again, you have to be very smart about this. It's just that again, think about it. When the markets go down precipitously, every news organization goes crazy about it, makes it into their headline. Who's making a headline about the all time highs? I don't see it anywhere. Even some of the financial news programs. They're reporting it, but they're not making a huge deal out of it, and that is just intellectually dishonest. You're going to go crazy when things go negative, You've got to go similarly crazy when they go positive. Or how about this, how about not going crazy at all? How about calmly and firmly just telling people exactly what's going on. That's what I'm trying to do here, folks. We are at all time highs for most of the stocks right now, but most of the stock indicies they're just about there. And that is news that I think is generally good. You can push back on me on that, but that is the honest truth, just from a maths standpoint, and I hope you'll understand.
00:22:08
Speaker 1: You get that here.
00:22:09
Speaker 2: You're not going to get crazy cheerleading. You're also not going to get crying on this program. Okay, here's a sneaky play on. President Trump is reportedly thinking about putting into place when it comes to his problems, to say the least, with FED shair Jay Powell, the chairman of the FED. As you know, President Trump's been slamming Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates enough and hasn't done it in quite a while. He wants him to do that. He feels he's being very, very unwise not to do it. So there are a number of reports now that President Trump is going to a point a shadow FED chair because j. Powell's term doesn't end in office until twenty twenty six. In the meantime, President Trump might appoint someone else to be the shadow FED chair, someone who will go out and talk to the news media and say what he or she would do if they were running the FED, and in more detail than President Trump does on true social posts. This will put a tremendous amount of pressure on Jay Powell. I don't know if he'll be able to withstand that. Maybe he'll step down early.
00:23:01
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:23:02
Speaker 2: But President Trump is doing a full court press on J. Powell and the FED in a way that no president really has done before, and a lot of people watching. I know you want to end the FED anyway, but this is an interesting new tactic that the president might use again. Might let's see if he does it. Okay, if you can't beat him, join him. That's what the bankrupt weight watchers is doing with Novo nor Disc Novo Nordice. That's that's Danish company company from Denmark that makes a lot of those weight loss injectable drugs like Wegov.
00:23:29
Speaker 1: Now, when those became all the rage.
00:23:32
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, you knew it was bad news for weight watchers trying to push the old fashioned exercise and diet method to try to lose weight. Now, listen, folks, I know that there are some people where that never works. So I'm not trying to pretend that diet. Just telling everyone to diet and exercise is always going to work for a lot of people. But it is sad to see people moving away from healthier choices and going with injection. I don't love that, but I understand it's big money, so weight losser weight watchers.
00:23:59
Speaker 1: Couldn't beat it. They're going to join them.
00:24:00
Speaker 2: Novo Nordisk is now going to sell some of its injectable drugs, especially we go Be, via the Weight Watchers network. That's the way it goes in America today.

Speaker 2: All this work at home stuff that people have been doing over the year is from COVID. Before that people started to work from home. You know what I'm talking about. Well, you know it's been bad for commercial real estate. A lot of office spaces empty in downtown America. It's bad for those downtown sandwich shops, bad for them and the candy shop and stuff where people used to go and take a break. But think about it, it's also really bad for the car and truck companies. You know, to go into work. Most people actually get into their car and go to work. You would think that the Detroit auto companies would have been big on making sure that at least they were an example for coming into work every day. You know, kind of kind of hurts their industry that people are working at home. I mean, you get it, folks, right, don't you. Well Ford finally got it yesterday and made the announcement that their workers, at least in the Detroit area need to come into work at least four days a week. You know, they probably should have said this a little bit earlier. Maybe they should also spend some money licensing some studies about how it's better for people to get out of their home sometimes and work. I got to tell you something, I don't love it. I wish I were going into an office more often. I'm sure a lot of you love working from home. That's great, but if you're a car company, you kind of want people to get into their cars and go to work.
00:26:02
Speaker 1: That's a big driver.
00:26:04
Speaker 2: No pun intended for the auto industry and for it is deciding now just now to set an example. They probably should have done this five years ago. But that's just my take. And now for some interesting palace intrigue. I hope you like those kinds of stories. Elon Musk has fired ome Ed Afshar. He is the automaker's vice president, or was the vice president of manufacturing and operations. This comes as Tesla's sale continues. Their sales continue to fall. They've been having a rough number.
00:26:30
Speaker 1: You guys know what's happening.
00:26:31
Speaker 2: First of all, Tesla has a lot of competition from these very very cheap Chinese models that are killing them in competition, especially in.
00:26:37
Speaker 1: Places like Europe.
00:26:39
Speaker 2: And as you know, that's still that political boycott against Elon Musk, people who supposedly love their cars but hate him. I'm seeing these bumper stickers saying I bought this.
00:26:48
Speaker 1: Tesla before Elon supported Trump.
00:26:49
Speaker 2: I mean, all these virtue signalers. But it is hurting sales. Now, a lot of observers are going to be inclined to blame this firing Aboush far on Musk's frustrations and not on anything as did or didn't know.
00:27:01
Speaker 1: What if we start.
00:27:02
Speaker 2: Seeing some new newly modeled teslas that are really wow cars.
00:27:08
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll have been some reason for this. We'll have to see.
00:27:12
Speaker 2: One would hope that Musk is just getting a temper tantramer and firing a good guy who's helped that company do so much. We'll have to see. In the corporate world, these kinds of things make big news. I can't can't say even when a CEO steps down, it doesn't make as big a news as when a top lieutenant is fired, because usually that means another company might really benefit from the firing.
00:27:31
Speaker 1: That's how Wall.
00:27:32
Speaker 2: Street looks at these kinds of things, and of course people in the car industry. Okay, not every story we do about Nissan is bad.
00:27:39
Speaker 1: Here's proof.
00:27:40
Speaker 2: Nissan was just named the number two most reliable car the entire brand was by JD. Power in Associated's second only to Lexus. So that means that Nissan was the only non luxury brand was the number one non luxury brand because it was number two to Lexus, which of course is a luxury brand.
00:27:55
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, Nissan makes some good cars. I know.
00:27:58
Speaker 2: I joke about the company and their problems all the time here. I would hate to see that company go out. What I'd like to see again, as I've been saying for a few months, Nissan to make more of these cars here in the United States. That would be awesome. I don't want to see a company go bankrupt. I know I'm not a grinch. Sorry, some of you wanted me to be one, but I'm not going to. Okay, I've made some wrong turns in my day, but this one you're about to see is really ridiculous. Earlier this week, an eighty year old driver in Italy took a wrong turn in Rome and ended up going down the famed Spanish steps. These are the eighteenth century, you know, landmark steps in the city of Rome. I mean, I'm half expecting them to crumble every time I see this video. Police say they helped the.
00:28:41
Speaker 1: Man out of the car, and that the man they didn't say his name.
00:28:44
Speaker 2: He's lucky he doesn't have his name out there. He tested negative for alcohol, but he definitely tes positive for being confused. This could have been a disaster, by the way, he could have destroyed a very valuable landmark. I don't know what to say about this. How could you possibly make that wrong turn? Is really a wrong turn?
00:29:02
Speaker 1: Okay? Eric Adams will be.
00:29:04
Speaker 2: The one who really goes up against Zoron mam Donnie in the hopes of saving the city, the big city, New York from a communist nightmare, I will explain. And the details are leaking out about a new peace deal for the whole Middle East, and they seem to be too good to be true, but it's a nice place to start the details coming up. When American Sunrise Early Edition continues. It's Friday, June twenty seventh. Here are some of this morning's top stories. You're looking at the two faces of the man most people now believe is the only realistic hope to save America's largest city. He's Mayor at Eric Adams, and he looked lost and unprepared at one event, but cool and collected at the other. Which one will be the guy who takes on Zoron Mamdannie, I'd like to know. Secretary of Defend Pete Hegseth. He makes himself the object of c mainstream media hate as he scolds the industry for its coverage of Operation Midnight Hammer.
00:30:05
Speaker 1: The media takes the bait.
00:30:07
Speaker 2: They decided to talk about themselves and defend themselves instead of propping up America you know, we had a great victory. Maybe they might want to put something positive in there for once. Israel's leading newspaper says President Trump and Prime Minister in Natanyaho have launched a plan to end the war in Gaza in two weeks, bring in Arab countries to rebuild the territory, and expand the Abraham Accords to include Saudi Arabia and Syria.
00:30:32
Speaker 1: In return, all Israel.
00:30:34
Speaker 2: Has to do is kind of sort of recognize the palace and the authority as maybe sort of one day getting a state.
00:30:40
Speaker 1: It seems too good to be true, but I love it.
00:30:44
Speaker 2: And they keep telling us the US economy is about to collapse and it's gonna take your four oh one k with you and it's all gonna be terrible. Wait a minute, it socks are out all time highs. The economy is going gangbusters right now. You know, maybe the sky isn't falling after all. American Sunrise Early addition continues now. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. It is a no tie Friday. We've been going day after day after day. It was a long weekend. We had a long week huge news. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I know a lot of you, like me, are probably looking for a break before you go on your weekend break. You gotta stay with Real America's voice all day. Then you can have your weekend break. And I'm glad you're joining us right now helping me to get through some of the big stories of today, some that you may have missed because it's been so busy. Is former Jewish Press editor and chief Elliott Resnik. Elliott, I want to play for you two sound bites. Whose are gonna be dueling soundbites. Sound bites one is going to be Eric Adams. The first one is from yesterday on the steps of City Hall. Listen and watch this.
00:31:48
Speaker 7: This is a biblical moment, you know, when Jesus was on the cross, he said, God, forgive them, for.
00:31:55
Speaker 1: They know not what they do.
00:31:57
Speaker 7: All these negroes were asking me to step down God for of them.
00:32:10
Speaker 1: Okay, we got the order wrong, but that's okay. That's the first one.
00:32:13
Speaker 2: Now, you may not love exactly what Eric Adams was saying there, folks, but he sounds pretty cool, very very confident. He's getting a good response from the crowd. That's the Eric Adams, that you know that again lover hate In New York City mayors, they're supposed to be good on their feet talking to crowds. That one was affected now here he is yesterday on the steps of City Hall.
00:32:33
Speaker 1: And what a difference this makes. Look at this a lot.
00:32:37
Speaker 4: Gives me the time to finish the talk. This is a this election, it's a real choice. This election is a choice between a cannony with a bout collar and one with a silver school. A choice between Jody thing An owns and not a curse yet, a choice between someone who's delivered lower crime, the most history, the most who housing built, built in decades, and in as simply number who did not pass a built.
00:33:10
Speaker 2: Okay, Elliott, I know you don't want to see Zoraon Mamdani become the mayor of New York City because this could really kickstart something all across the country with people who are very anti Semitic and very very communist becoming leaders of major cities. But you got it, you got it. I'm sure you're a little bit nervous, like which Eric Adams is going to show up? Is it gonna be the one from the first SoundBite where he's getting that great response from the crowd and he's riffing and he's doing great. Or the other one where he's reading off a piece of paper that looks like it was printed a moment before he's stumbling over his good lines. I mean, which one is it gonna be?
00:33:40
Speaker 1: Elliott?
00:33:40
Speaker 2: I mean, we've got something invested in this, don't we?
00:33:43
Speaker 8: We do, indeed, And to be honest, I'm not so sure why we should give up on the Republican Party. At Curtis Sleewall. I know a lot of people say, oh, you know, the Republican Party is very weak, it's non viable in New York City. We'll make it viable. I don't understand or agree with the strategy of trying to win by inhabiting the other camp and trying to win under sheep's clothing, sorry, under wolf's clothing. Take you the Democratic mantle and try to win under the Democratic mantle. No, at this point, the Democratic Party is terrible. It's immoral, it's un American. We should not try to win as Democrats. We should try to win as Republicans. And this is not some pipe dream. Giuliani won as a Republican in New York. Mike Bloomberg won as a Republican in New York. It is possible to win as a Republican in New York, and we should try to make the Republican Party viable and try to get curtse Lye well elected and not always having us voting in democratic product primaries and trying to win under the democratic mantle. In my opinion, you.
00:34:41
Speaker 1: Know, I agree with you in principle.
00:34:43
Speaker 2: One of the things that I've been slapped in the face with over the last couple of years is how different New York City is. It is so different demographically and philosophically than where it was when Mayor Giuliani first won his first election for mayor in nineteen ninety three, and it's also really different from where it was in two thousand and one when Mike Bloomberg won the election for his first term as Mayor of New York City. So I want to talk about another player in here, because again this is a national story with national olymplications. Bill Ackman, the billionaire mainstream Democrat, basically, that's what I'll call him, who came slowly but surely over to the Trump camp during the twenty twenty four campaign, huge following on social media, and people really read what he had to say, and it was fascinating to see this very wealthy, smart guy wake up from the trance of anti Trump sentiment, realizing what was going on in the country and suddenly become a pretty interesting and good voice for the Trump campaign and for common sense. There are people who want him to be a Republican and join the race, maybe replace Curtis Sliwa. And at the very least Ackman is promising to back bank roll financially anyone who he thinks could really beat Mom Donnie. But Elliott, I gotta tell you, you must see as I see the dangers of this.
00:35:58
Speaker 1: This could be very dangerous.
00:36:00
Speaker 2: Billionaires like Bill Ackman come into this race and look like they're dominating it. Won't that give a great talking point. More than a talking point, it might even be a rallying cry for the Mom Donnie forces to say, look at these evil, rich people, white guys coming in and trying to hurt an immigrant who wants to be good for New York City. I mean, I see this backfiring. If this isn't done properly.
00:36:21
Speaker 8: He could try to say that, but I think it will only go so far. At the end of the day, I think despite what all the Democrats say, I think they kind of trust Billy in there as people trust successful people. So they see somebody who built a successful company, they said to themselves, hmm, maybe he'll be able to run a successful city as well. That's why Bloomberg got elected, That's why Trump got elected. So I know, Mom, Donnie will say that I just don't know how effective it will be, and I agree with you. I think Ackman might be another Bloomberg in that he's doesn't have a huge track record, so i'e can attack him saying, oh, you did this or you did that, and he'll be presented as a moderate somebody who used to have a sober democratic background. And I think he has actually a chance of winning because of that, because he's successful, and because he doesn't have that much of a record that you could attack him on.
00:37:06
Speaker 1: So I see what you're saying.
00:37:07
Speaker 8: I just don't know if will be that effective.
00:37:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are a lot of chess pieces moving here. We are far from really knowing what the real matchup is going to be in November in New York City, but it is only four months and like a week away, So they better get their act together soon, because it is hard, even in a place like New York where things move fast, to get a candidate established in the minds.
00:37:28
Speaker 1: Of the voters.
00:37:29
Speaker 2: All right, let's go over to the Middle East right now, Elliott, because according to Israel Hyom, which is the number one newspaper in Israel by circulation and by clicks on the Internet, they floated a story yesterday. They're reporting that President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Nintania, who have already hammered out a deal, or a major region wide peace deal. It would include the war in Gaza ending in two weeks and getting the hostages back. It would include countries like Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, at least those at least Egypt for sure, coming into Gaza and rebuilding it. It would include expanding the Abraham Accords to include Syria, if you can believe it. But Saudi Arabia, which many people thought and the only thing Israel has to give back in this deal. Again, it's all floated. It's theoretical, I guess at this point. But this newspaper, which is very close to the Prime Minister, is saying this is, you know, really in the works.
00:38:16
Speaker 1: The only thing.
00:38:17
Speaker 2: Israel quota would have to give back is some form of recognition of the Palestinian authority as perhaps a future state, which you and I both know they're never going to take. No Palestinian group will ever accept the state as long as.
00:38:28
Speaker 1: A Jewish state exists. So it's really kind of a mood point.
00:38:30
Speaker 2: It's like giving up an imaginary dollar that's never going to be printed. So what's your take on this, Elliott, Because I know it's just a floated idea, but I sure like it. I hope that even ninety percent of it is true because that would make me happy.
00:38:43
Speaker 8: I hate to disagree with you. As an American, I don't have it. It's a real firm of opinion on the topic. As a Jew, though, I am opposed to it.
00:38:50
Speaker 1: And here's why. Because Gaza is part of Biblical Israel.
00:38:54
Speaker 8: And therefore it should be run by the State of Israel, and it should be inhabited by the people of Israel. It should not be or inhabited by Arabs. And that's exactly what this deal calls for. It calls for Egypt and the UAE and two other Arab nations to run Gaza. I don't want Arabs running Gaza.
00:39:09
Speaker 1: I want Jews running Gaza.
00:39:11
Speaker 8: And also, as a further point, Israel right now is surrounded by four Muslim nations. I don't want Israel to invite an additional two or three Muslim nations to its front doorstep to Gaza to help run Gaza. Now. I know these are supposed to be moderate Muslim nations, but today's moderate Muslim nation could very easily become tomorrow's radical Muslim nation. That's what happened in nineteen seventy nine in Iran. One day it was a moderate Muslle nation, the next day it was a radical Muscle nation. That's what happened in Egypt in twenty twelve when the Muslim Brotherhood took over.
00:39:41
Speaker 1: So I don't want Arab.
00:39:42
Speaker 8: Nations, Musl nations in Gaza, whether they're moderate, whether they're a radical, And between you and me, I'm not so sure these moderate Muslim nations love Israel that much either. But that's a separate discussion for a separate time.
00:39:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, you make a good argument again that too.
00:39:57
Speaker 1: In that situation.
00:39:58
Speaker 2: Also, a lot of chess pieces around I only have about thirty seconds left, Elliott, but I want to get your take on some of the Democrats in the in the Democratic the Repblican, some of the Democrats in the party who are in an elected office who seem to have very very big dreams that I think need to be squashed because they just aren't facing reality.
00:40:15
Speaker 1: One of them is JB. Pritzker. Now he's the governor of Illinois.
00:40:19
Speaker 2: He announced yesterday that he's running for a third term, but everybody knows he has presidential aspirations. He will most likely be a candidate unless something happens in the twenty twenty eight primaries for the Democrats, or they allow primaries this time. They don't really usually do that, do they. But I have to make this statement. I don't think that Jewish Americans like JB. Pritzker or Josh Shapiro and there's some other names out there have a realistic chance to get anywhere in the Democratic national primaries cars for president. I don't think they have a chance in this party. The Democratic Party has decided they don't want Jewish people prominently. A lot of people argue that if Josh Shapiro had been Kamala Harris's running mate. It would have been a much closer election. I think so too. But there's there's no way they're going to put a Jewish person that prominently in the party anymore.
00:41:03
Speaker 1: I just I'm sad to say it, but I wonder if you agree. I think you have a very good point.
00:41:08
Speaker 8: I think, especially young Democratic voters are not going to vote for a Jew unless he's a self hating Jew, in which case he might have a chance. But otherwise you're right. I think they've done polling of young Democrats, and I think the majority of young Democrats at this point take the Arab side in the Middle East conflict, not the Jews side. They want the Jews basically out.
00:41:23
Speaker 1: Of the Middle East.
00:41:25
Speaker 8: I don't know, go back to Poland baby into the guest chambers. I'm not sure exactly where that are really six two steps ahead. They just want the Jews out. So I think you're right. I think it's very unfortunate, and I think a lot of Jews don't want if they want to do. You know, the APAC always wants to be bipartisan. It would be nice to be have a bipartisan consensus that the Jews are human beings who deserve normal rights and don't deserve to be killed. But at this point, I think you're right. Young Democrats don't see the world that way.
00:41:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough situation, and again I don't think it's necessarily hopeless in some local elections, but nationwide, this is where they're going.
00:41:58
Speaker 1: They need to figure this one out.
00:41:59
Speaker 2: And for all all of you watching is saying, well, then why don't more Jewish people vote for Republicans? I got good news for you. The trend is, your friend. Jewish people voted for Donald Trump in the highest numbers we've seen in over forty years, and more importantly than that, in the swing counties of Pennsylvania where this election really turned folks, there was a massive turn to Donald Trump from Jewish voters.
00:42:18
Speaker 1: Don't believe these national reports.
00:42:20
Speaker 2: Don't use Google anymore, period, But Google's got all these crazy numbers for Kamala Harris.
00:42:24
Speaker 1: They're not true. They left out California and.
00:42:26
Speaker 2: New York, the two biggest states with Jewish voters, So those reports are bunk. I can tell you that what Elliott's saying and what I'm saying is starting to resonate with American Jewish people. It's getting there. I know it's not great, but honestly, they're moving in the right direction in my opinion. Elliott Resnick, thank you so much for joining us.
00:42:42
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend.
00:42:43
Speaker 8: Thank you for having me YouTube. Appreciate it all.
00:42:46
Speaker 2: Right, Coming up, it's not just partisanship that's destroying the integrity of the mainstream American news media. It's also another key failing that goes beyond left versus right, and we saw that yesterday with this news conference. David Rodian, I will discuss when American Sunrise Early Edition.
00:43:02
Speaker 1: Comes right back. If you build it, they will come. I don't know. Is that the Field of Dreams. I think it is Dietersville, Iowa. If it isn't, it looks like it is.
00:43:20
Speaker 2: All right, we're getting some really good shots of non urban America this morning on.
00:43:25
Speaker 1: Real America's Voice. Here an American Sunrise Early Edition.
00:43:28
Speaker 2: I love this shot. Love the movie Rest in Peace. Rae Liota who played Shoeless Joe Jackson in that movie. By the way, welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. If you think the establishment media's only problem is that it's too left wing, or maybe some of you watching I think it's too right wing. You actually have them been paying attention. The bigger problem is that the news media is almost always negative, frightening, and its ton and outlook is just sad.
00:43:52
Speaker 1: There are a lot of.
00:43:52
Speaker 2: People in the news media, folks who think that their only job is to find problems with things. I gotta tell you, when I ran newsrooms and ran programs, policy was you do a negative story about an issue more than twice. The third time, you have to bring in someone who has a solution, even if you don't personally agree, or you can't do the story anymore because you're not really doing anybody any good despite pounding and pounding their same rock all the time. So, David Brode, I want to bring you in right now because I think that's also playing a role. Look, we know the hatred of Trump is so strong, and that's why the news media wants to pour cold water on the great achievements, at least in my opinion of Operation Midnight Hammer. But there's something else going on, David, which goes beyond Trump and goes beyond right and left in America, which is, we have a news media that thinks it's his job to tell you that the sky is falling all the time. I've been talking all during this program about how the stock market is at all time high. Hey, that isn't always great news for everyone. But you can bet that if the market we're crashing by the same numbers that it's going up, that would be the number one story in America and everyone will be pounding the table on it, not only because they will want to blame Trump, but because they think negativity is the only job we have here in the news media. David, I'm going to prove that wrong. You look wonderful this morning. Let's it's Friday, come on, guys.
00:45:02
Speaker 9: Well, Jake, and that shirt you're wearing is to die for. So let's just call it a day at that point. Now, of course, of course you're right. And here's the thing, let's be honest. I mean, the job of There's a lot of reasons the media exists, but one is to be obviously a check and balance right on our politicians. I mean, in essence, it begins with a noble cause. It begins with a in essence, a baseline of distrust of politicians in general, which is a good thing. Ask questions, try to get answers, try to figure it out. That's good, but it's gotten way out of control to the point where you know, I think Trump is exposed at all. There was a twenty twenty two twenty twenty two excuse me, survey that looked at specific emotions that the media conveys more than others. And here are the emotions anger, fear, disgust, and sadness. It's actually quantitatively analyzed where the media has play on those specific emotions according to the folks that watch and some that don't, but a lot.
00:46:05
Speaker 1: That watch television news.
00:46:07
Speaker 9: So this is you know, it's not just your opinion or my opinion or what we just see, which by the way, would be good enough evidence, but it's actually quantitatively proven that the media is just gone way overboard. And you know, I think it just kind of goes to what we've seen all along with this media. We talk about negativity as it relates to Donald Trump, but you're right, bottom line is, you know who wants to be around Debbie Downer all day long? I mean, let's just be honest. I mean, you know, at that point, you know, get a new bunch of friends, Well, guess what, we're your friends right here on real America's Voice great.
00:46:39
Speaker 2: Apparently the number one reaction to seeing me on the air is incredible sympathy and embarrassment. But that's mostly for people who grew up in Bayonne. We'll get into that another time.
00:46:47
Speaker 1: Hey, you got two hours the Sunrise coming up? As we have this Friday. I'm Jake Novak.
00:46:52
Speaker 2: This has been American Sunrise Early Edition. I will see you on Monday. Get some rest, everybody,
