Ahead on American Sunrise EARLY edition. That sigh of relief you hear is coming from the White House and Speaker Mike Johnson's office as Republican Matt Van Epps edges radical Democrat Afton Benn in that special House election out of Tennessee. It's a dodged bullet for the GOP for sure. It's a snap smackdown. No, that's not the name of a serial. Ag secretary. Brooke Rollins says she's freezing food stamp funding to the states that refuse to hand over the data on how many illegal aliens are getting their hands on those benefits. It's the latest example of a Trump team that's no longer messing around over taxpayer money going to non citizens. Russia's Vladimir Putin met with US Envoy Steve Witkoff to talk about those Russia Ukraine peace plans. Did it go well? The oil traders seem to have an idea, even if the rest of us don't have a clue. Hint, let's not hold our breath getting back to that tougher tone out of the Trump team. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says she wants more travel bans from dangerous countries coming to the United States. And she accuses states like Minnesota of deliberately looking the other way at phony visas. And are you looking for good news on the inflation front? I've got some for you. Here's a very key metric you need to hear. Apartment rents continue to slide significantly almost everywhere in America. That's a big break for millions of people. American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION begins now. Welcome to AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition, the.

Jake Novak
Good morning and welcome to this Wednesday here in AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us. A lot of important news to come out of just in the last 12 hours or so. So I want to get to it. But I also want to remind everyone, look, no matter how bad the news is serious, the news is call to action focused. Our program is we want to make sure that you feel good watching this program that you don't walk away feeling, you know, the bitter taste in your mouth. That's why we have good guests. That's why we try to be a little bit lighthearted about some stories when it's appropriate. Obviously, some stories you can't do that. So I really appreciate everyone waking up this morning. I'm trying to get you off on a important note. Not gonna sugarcoat stuff, but also hopefully a good note for the day. Joining us right now to help us get through some of the important stories is Adam Smith. He's a former Green Beret and as of today, he will be officially filed as a candidate for the U.S. house of Representatives out of Western North Carolina. Adam, let's talk first about the overall picture in the House that you're trying to join. You're trying to join that club. It's tough out there for Republicans trying to preserve that narrow majority. So that's why the election that we had last night got those results last night. It was, it was up and down there for a while. I was updating the results at one point with about half of the votes in the Democrat Afton, Ben was ahead. I was getting nervous. But Matt Van Epps did win it. He won it by about 9 percentage points. That's a decent cushion. Although you think in Tennessee he would win by more. It shouldn't have been that close. But you know, you're walking into a very, very divided House where every race, including yours, is going to be really, really crucial.
- [06:36]
Adam Smith
Yeah. You know, I think, interesting, I heard this morning that I believe that Trump actually took that district by 22 points in the last election. So the fact that he only won by nine points, that of itself speaks very highly of, I think in general, how disengaged voters become in midterm elections. And I think this is a critical piece. This is a special election with Matt Van Epps. The fact that he won by nine points I think speaks highly but also speaks detrimentally to the, the in general the engagement of the electorate across the United States. And coming into midterm elections, this is a critical piece that Republicans, conservative minded individuals across the country have to remember. If we're not engaged, if we're not civic minded, if we don't know who we're voting for, then we are abdicating our voice and ultimately giving up seed of influence that can have definitive and resounding impacts to what happens in the next two to three years.
- [07:24]
Jake Novak
Yeah, I mean, it is about showing up. And I've been talking about this for A long time. These random Tuesdays, especially this one right after Thanksgiving, people's minds aren't on the election at all. There's been no regular coverage of the election, and we talked about it a lot on this program, but, you know, it's a form of voter suppression. So who does show up? The unions, the. The Democrats supported organizations where you can take a day off work and still get paid to go vote. Normal Americans, working Americans in the private sector are not going to vote in these special elections. And a lot of them don't vote in primaries either. And some of them won't vote even in a regular nationwide sort of midterm election. And you've got to fight back against that. You need a lot of people to remind everyone, reminding people that if you voted for President Trump and because you thought it was important, you better give him a Congress that he can work with. I mean, I don't understand why that is such a hard message to get out there, but I guess it is just harder. Adam, let's move on to another issue. It's so important to ask you because you are a veteran, a former Green Beret. I have to ask you about this continuing. The media won't give it up. I've been checking this morning. The mainstream media is not giving up on this. Media generated controversy involving really all of the Trump administration's actions against Venezuela. It's everything. And I think, by the way, it's being paid for by the cartels in China. But significantly, the attacks against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and this double hit story that they're talking about, I mean, I don't understand this. These are lethal drug traffickers coming into this country. This is a form of terrorism. In fact, it's actually even more lethal form of terrorism than some of the other terrorists that are out there. As a veteran, how do you feel about this? I mean, really, they're trying to make you feel guilty too, aren't they? It isn't just about Pete Hegseth. They're trying to pretend it is, but they're trying to undermine the morale of the US Fighting man and woman.
- [09:08]
Adam Smith
Well, I did a video on X not too long ago about this. The fact of the matter is, is that the seditious six has come out being primarily led by Mark Kelly, who, who should ultimately know better about what this is to say you have a duty to follow unlawful orders. And he's not wrong. And at the same time, now they want to reference a September 2nd boat strike that happened with regards to attacking narco terrorists that are crossing international waters. And when they were asked multiple times, what are the illegal orders that are being pushed, they don't have any specificity around illegal orders. They can't name one that's taken place. So the issue boils down to timing. Why is this now such a pertinent issue that's being pressed by the Dems and the media? And I think ultimately it boils down to a couple of things. The first thing is, is that the seditious Six and their message backfired. And I think it backfired big time against them and it backfired against the Democrat Party because a lot of Americans said, hey, what are you, what are you talking about? There's not been any illegal orders. There's a huge population of conservative minded, legal minded individuals in the. Who aren't just some ignorant branch of voters. They actually know what's going on. And so to say, hey, you, as veterans, you should feel bad about your actions. And you, if you're in the active duty or National Guard, well, if you're walking the streets based on a legal order, you should feel like it's illegal. Therefore you should feel like not following those orders. That is sedition through and through, without a question. So when it comes to the strikes against narco terrorists in Venezuela, look, we have over 100,000 plus fentanyl overdoses in the United States every year. If that is not an epidemic, if that's not a direct assault on the American people, I don't know what is. So when it comes to the narco terrorist operations and narco strikes, these guys are running off of intelligence capabilities and intelligence operations that most Americans don't even fathom or can't even truly understand because of the depth of information that gets poured into these operations. And go one step further. If these operations against narco terrorists are illegal, then all of the operations that took place under the Biden administration and the, the Obama administration with well over hundreds of drone strikes against terrorists and narco terrorists around the world, were also illegal. So the fact is, is that it comes down to, I think, two specific things. One, I think they're trying to cover Mark Kelly's butt and the Seditious Six to try and avoid a potential recall for him to come back to active duty to face potential repercussions for sedition or seditious acts and to any opportunity there is for the Democrat Party to come after conservatism, the conservative party, and especially the Trump administration, they will miss.
- [11:45]
Jake Novak
Yeah, and they don't. They don't care about what is in the middle. I mean this, this reminds me of like two parents going through a divorce and just trashing the kids in the middle of the fight. I mean, you can't trash our military just because you hate President Trump. They already trashed our health care system. They trashed our kids in schools over the COVID They mean there's nothing they won't destroy. And it's something. I cut my head off. Yeah, yeah, sorry.
- [12:07]
Adam Smith
I don't mean to cut you off on this. This is just gets me fired up. It's one more thing you talk about trashing the American people. We just had a nearly 45 day government sh that negatively impacted Americans across the country. And we watched, we watched real time and heard Democrat leadership specifically state we know the Americans will suffer, but this is the only leverage we have. If you are an American citizen and you have a right to vote and you have a voice in the elections, how are you not listening to the actual intention of those who are outright telling you the truth of the matter in the moment? If a snakes, if a snake tries to change their stripes of snake, tries to change their character and still bites you, it's because the character of the snake is a snake. And this is what we're seeing. And I don't understand why we don't have more American people following and understanding this.
- [12:54]
Jake Novak
Well, speaking of snakes, I think one of the answers to your question is that there isn't enough historical knowledge and common sense. So as a veteran now, Adam, I showed a video, I found actual recording, an actual recording with a video cover on it of Tokyo Rose from World War II who was a propaganda. But a number of women who actually did this for Japan who published anti broadcast over the radio anti American seditious content to our troops. Now I want you to listen to this recording. I, I played it yesterday. Everyone should I playing it again today because I want our viewers and I want people like you to hear it and listen to this recording because it's really, really interesting. Here we go. This is Tokyo Rose in 1944. Sounds like this. Edition 6. Check it out. Hello Yankee brothers.

Jake Novak
Lift off your rose reaches out to you from the peacefulness of Japan, laden as always with love, but today also with sorrow. Because of what your superiors are making.
- [13:52]
Kerrygold Butter Announcer
You do this morning. They are forcing you to attempt the impossible.
- [13:57]
Jake Novak
Is that Tokyo Rose? Yeah, guess so. The impossible and no accident.
- [14:02]
Kerrygold Butter Announcer
For it is impossible for you to.
- [14:04]
Jake Novak
Dislodge our forces on Iwo Jima, because of what your superiors are making you do. I mean, that sounds just like their video. Nothing new under the sun, Adam, is there?
- [14:16]
Adam Smith
No, it's not new. It's not like we're reinventing the wheel. Ultimately, it boils down to replicating the standard MO of sedition across the country. But I think another thing people really need to be aware of and we need to be more educated about is the fact that after the Smith Mundt act was revised and that happened under President Obama, we've seen a huge uptick in propaganda directed towards the American people. And basically the Smith Munt act revision provided the opportunity for American media to do just that, push propaganda. So when we see reports come out from WaPo specifically stating that we had an anonymous source that overheard a potential conversation, the Secretary of War that said, hey, you know, make sure they're all dead or kill them all, that's an anonymous source. It's not vetted information. And ultimately, if they don't have to list any potential sources, then how do we confirm whether or not there's any validity to the reporting? And, and this is what's happened with American news media. We've moved away from providing facts and presenting facts and moved into how do we elicit emotion to provide entertainment value that generates more revenue. And that, across the board, is a huge issue.
- [15:27]
Jake Novak
Yeah, it's. It's also a lot of foreign influence. Follow the money. I, again, I don't know why. No, I mean, I do know, but any, you know, Mark Kelly's doing a lot of media appearances. Any appearance that he does, the question needs to be asked, who wrote the script for that video. He's not going to know the answer. He's not going to have a name who paid for it. Those are two questions that need to be asked. And when they get the answers to him, whether it's from him or not, there's going to be some eyebrows raised. Adam Smith, we're going to talk a little bit more about the issues in North Carolina the next time you join us, which will be soon. Thank you so much for coming on this morning talking about these important issues.
- [15:57]
Adam Smith
Have a good one, Jake.

That's a live look at St. Louis this morning. It almost looks like that's a hologram, but that really is the gateway arch in St. Louis, Missouri. If you've never been there, check it out. You can get in an elevator and go up on that thing. It curves up. It's pretty awesome. St. Louis, Missouri, an interesting town. 100 years ago, a little bit more than that. It was a very, very different city. A very beer manufacturer shoes were manufactured there in very large amounts. Was an industrial manufacturing city. It's not anymore. Different place. Welcome back to American Sunrise EARLY Edition. I'm Jake Novak. Special welcome to those of you on the Rumble and the Getter chats, you guys are up and Atom this morning. Thank you for that again. You can also watch live on Substack now X and comment there. And there's so many other places just to watch, including your Amazon Prime, YouTube. I mean, there's so many watch this program and you can watch it on your phone, laptop or anywhere. Michael Dell, this is a really interesting story. Not a lot of people really getting to the bottom of it. But we're going to do that now. Michael Dell and his wife Susan. That's Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Computer. He had made a commitment yesterday. He pledged six and a quarter billion dollars. That's a big donation to fund those investment accounts for millions of US Children. Some people call them the Trump accounts. You might remember earlier this year, President Trump set up a way that parents can put money away for their children tax free. It's almost like a 401k for kids, but even better in a lot of ways. I want to tell you something about this donation from the Dells. It's the largest ever devoted to just American children. It's probably the largest single donation ever. And they have to go through all the statistics and inflation adjustments and things like that. Invest America is doing the statistics on that. And they're also working with the Dell family on this along with the Trump administration. Let's bring in Emily Finn right now. Hey, no pressure Emily, but you know, this entire program isn't meant just to help kids who are around now. It's meant to encourage young couples to start families. So I speak for all the grandmothers of the world that want to know when you're. And I'm just kidding. When are you going to have a baby? All joking aside, we need more Americans, especially American citizens, to have more children. This is an incentive to do that. It's part of what I think we need a carrot and a stick. I think we also need to get rid of some of the things that make it harder to be a parent. But this is a heck of an incentive when you're, when you can open an account for a kid like this and know that they'll have money for school or even to set up, maybe buy a home or something.
- [22:03]
Emily Finn
I think it's a great incentive to have more babies. And look, I gotta find my husband first, Jake, and then I'll be having babies. That's the first step. But I think this is great for young people to encourage them. We don't talk a lot about this on this program, but the birth rate in the US Is on a decline, and that is something that we're going to have to address eventually as well. And so I think it's great to encourage younger people to be doing this good on the Dells, to be investing into the American people like this. The biggest investment. Like you said, it's really great to see people that have been successful, that have really made it big in this country like, like Mr. Dell here to be giving back in this way and to, who knows, be funding the next entrepreneurs with these Trump accounts for babies. You have, you have no idea what babies will turn out to be one day.
- [22:51]
Jake Novak
Yeah, I, I'm sorry for everyone. The reason why Emily sounds like she's in an echo is because I, I mentioned having babies and it basically she, part of her soul was, was angry at me and I'm just kidding. We have a little bit of a technical issue there. I think you all heard what she had to say, though. You remind me, Emily, of the joke from Seinfeld when they ask George Costanza if he's going to have any kids. And he says, like, I think I need to have a date first. But yeah, you definitely put the cart before the horse. You want to get married first? Absolutely. That makes a lot of help for children. Anyway, Emily, thank you so much for joining us. We'll get these technical difficulties fixed and make sure that people can hear you in the 8 to 10am hour when it will be fixed and you'll be hear a lot more from Emily. Hopefully you did hear what she had to say was to a little echoey there. Let's talk about gold here for a second. There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings this Christmas but thanks to Birch Gold they think that you are a smart planner unlike Congress and you deserve silver in your stocking. That's why for every $5,000 you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send you an ounce of silver which is up over 60% this year. You see smart people diversify and they have a hedge. That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold. With the Fed rate cuts from the Fed in 2026 that are on the way, the dollar will be worth less. And what happens when the AI bubble bursts or takes a break? You gotta diversify. Let Birchgold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold. And for every $5,000 you buy, you're going to get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids. What a great way to teach them about saving smartly. Just text America to 9,898.98 to claim your eligibility for this offer. Again text America to the number 989898 today because Birch Gold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends on December 22nd. Text America to 989898 coming up, here's some more good news that will help young families we were just talking about with the Dells. It comes from the otherwise very pricey housing sector of our economy. That story and moving America are next when American Sunrise Early Edition comes right back.

It's a live look at New York City. 29 days, my friends, 29 days before New York City goes under control of Mayor Zoran Mamdani and a City council that's pretty much going to rubber stamp everything he wants. Really, really precarious and scary time for our nation's largest city. I told you at the beginning of this program I try to keep people smiling, but I'm also not sugarcoating stuff. I am not very optimistic about the next four years in New York City and beyond. Let's take a look at where the markets are going to begin today, folks. I'm more optimistic about that. We had another rally yesterday. Again, ask yourself, did the mainstream media make any work, mentioned it at all that we had a rally on Tuesday. They made a huge deal about the sell off on Monday. They are not doing what you would call balanced and fair news. Everything green on that board right now including crude oil. And I'll talk a little bit more about that in a moment. But you have gold up to 4239, silver back up near 60 bucks. Let's take a look at bitcoin because bitcoin made a nice comeback yesterday. And I have a feel there it is now it's at $92,800. That's a nice significant jump from that $81,000 mark we were at just over the Thanksgiving weekend or just going into it. That's more than an 11% jump, folks. That's a nice gain on your investment if you put some money in there when it hit that low. So it looks like it's marching higher again. Finally, we have some good news to tell you about on the cost of housing in America. I know it's just one part of the market, but it's a significant part. The national median rent for apartments or rental homes in America fell. It actually went down. Not just a slower increase, but it actually went down. It fell by 1% in November from October. And now at the same time, and of course this is related, the national multifamily vacancy rate for apartments in America hit a record of 7.2%. That's a record high, actually. So this is what we know. I mean, this is the law of supply and demand, folks. There has been a major surge in the last few years in building multifamily rental homes in this country. We can talk about how that is not so great because we want people to own homes. And that's a very important discussion to have. And I'm with you all the way. But in the meantime, people are, a lot of people are still renting. And to see rental prices go down is very, very positive. And it's because there's more supply on the market, plain and simple. And look, that's a very big part of inflation. We can complain all we want about beef prices being two or three dollars more a pound than they were a year ago, but you're going to have to buy a lot of beef to cut into a rental break that you're getting. If you're paying 1000 bucks or a couple thousand bucks less per year to rent your apartment, you know you'll be able to buy a lot of extra beef with that money and maybe even thousands more than that. So good news on that front. Want to make sure everyone knows about that. Here's some more good news. Boeing says it expects a very strong 2026 because demand continues to grow for their two big sellers. The 737 Max and the 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Boeing shares soared 10% on that news alone yesterday. And that's a big deal because Boeing is one of the 30 stocks in the Dow. 30. So when Boeing goes up 10% in a day, your 401k goes up, your IRA goes up. It's as simple as that. With very few exceptions. Now, Boeing continues to come back. Remember a year ago, a little bit more than a year ago, they were down in the dumps. If you remember that door that blew out on the Alaska Airlines flight, It was a 737 Max. People were thinking this company is falling apart and they're not doing enough safety inspections. It was a major, major downturn. But they are really coming back from that position they were in in 2024. And it looks like 2026 is going to be strong as well. Okay, let's get to the media world now. Netflix suddenly is the front runner in the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery. That's the company that owns all the Warner Brothers movie studios and of course CNN and a bunch of other properties. The streaming powerhouse Netflix again. That's what they are. I mean, remember when they were the company that you got DVDs from and you sent them back in the mail? Boy, have they changed. Well, they're making an all cash offer for Warner Brothers, which is definitely a lot more basically alluring for Warner Brothers. Instead of taking a stock swap or some other kind of exotic deal, all cash usually looks a lot better to a potential seller. There's another thing going on here. Remember at Netflix, as I said, they're a streaming giant. It'll be much easier for Warner Brothers to offload some of those networks, especially cnn, to become streaming only, which is probably what Warner Brothers wants to do, but would rather have a new owner do it. To take the flack for that and basically go through that whole process for Netflix, it probably will be the easiest. Netflix doesn't have a huge political presence. Obviously their CEO and their executives have made political statements in the past, but it's not really like one of the mainstream media companies companies, they might be able to get away with offloading CNN via Netflix a lot better. A lot of the sale has to do with getting rid of cnn. I've maintained that the whole time. And here's what, here's another basically off ramp for cnn. Put it on Netflix, have it streaming and then they can say goodbye to all those loser shows for the most part. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. This is Moving America.

For those of you watching this program, you probably know that a lot of it had to do with that aluminum shortage. Remember, I've been reporting on this program about that fire. Now, they had a second fire at the Novellas Aluminum plant in upstate New York that was a major supplier not just to Ford, but to some other companies. But Ford was their biggest customer, so they weren't able to make as many F series trucks. It's as simple as that. The supplies of that aluminum dwindled and they weren't able to make as many. You can't make as many, can't sell as many, as simple as that. Oh, and also here's a statistic. Electric vehicle sales in November were down 61%. That's a big drop. Of course, no one wants to buy electric vehicles without that federal tax break, at least not from Ford. I predict this is not really that much of a bold prediction, so don't call me Nostradamus, but I predict that their December sales at Ford will be sharply higher. They certainly won't be down. We'll check back in a month to see if I'm right. But like I said, I'm not being that courageous with that prediction. I think this story qualifies for moving America. Even though it's not about cars specifically. Amazon is looking to beat out the competition in yet another area. Aren't they always destroying someone else's business? This time, though, I think this is interesting. It's going to try to get into the fast delivery market. I mean, Amazon delivers packages pretty quickly, but I'm talking now about food delivery and delivery of things like milk and toothpaste and items like that. It's allowing. Amazon has now launched just now a new service that's going to complete 30 minute or less deliveries in two cities. They're going to try it out in two cities, Seattle and Philadelphia. They're going to call it ultra fast and the delivery option will allow Amazon to better compete with Doordash and Uber Eats and Instacart. That's who they're trying to cut into. You'll be able to buy a bunch of things, milk, eggs, fresh produce, toothpaste, cosmetics, pet treats. And in New York, you're going to be able to order kickers who don't kick the turf and actually kick the ball in the football game. Sorry, Giants fans, I had to get there. Sorry about that. All right, we're one day away from the big reveal from Lexus of two of its new sports cars for 2026 at 9:00pm Eastern Time tomorrow. You can tune in on the Toyota and Lexus websites to see what Toyota is calling all new sports models. Here's a little teaser of it. This is a little bit of a teaser video. You can't see it really quickly. Looks like it's on a track there. Listen folks, with the EV mania dying down, interest in two new kinds of, well, they're not new, but different. Interest in two different types of cars I think are going to be rising. You've heard me say on this program that the off road terrain, the all terrain vehicles, they are going to have a huge continued surge in demand and I predict within five years they'll be selling more all terrain off road vehicles in the United States than EVs. So that's one thing. But there's also going to be renewed interest in these high performance, they call them now, sports cars. So we'll be watching to see not only what these cars look like with the sunlight on them, but how much demand they create. Because I think they're going to start taking the place of some of that EV mania. All right, I want you to look at this car. She may not look like much, but this baby could actually rake. And look at this thing. It could actually rake in hundreds of thousand dollars at an auction because it's a rare surviving, just barely surviving. It's a Honda S2000 with almost 500,000 miles under the hood. It's a very well loved peeled up hood, by the way. It was actually from a minor accident against a truck. No one was hurt. So it looks worse than it is. But the reason why lots of car enthusiasts like this car is first of all, there are not a lot of them left on the road. And it was an example of a small package, highly performance car made by Honda. There's just a few of them that were ever able to. It's basically a raw precision vehicle in a very, very small package. Owners know this, I'm getting real inside baseball here. Obviously the reason why I'm doing this story is I just want you to take a look at this car that looks really beat up and someone's going to pay more than a couple hundred thousand dollars for it in an auction. Because of the engineering of the car. I assume they'll get the hood fixed as they take a look at it at the Honda S2000. Okay. Coming up, the war on illegal immigration has fully moved on to a battle against funding going our taxpayer funds going to illegal aliens or just other non citizens. That includes food stamps and Ag Secretary Brook Rollins is cracking the whip. It also includes the fact that remember the whole Schumer shutdown, that whole fiasco was over. Obamacare, care subsidies, insurance. I have a headline for you all. I all I want you all to remember insurance is not health care. That's not what's going to save your life. We're going to talk about that with a doctor who has a better idea to lower the cost of health care in America. Health care, not insurance. When American Sunrise Early Edition comes right back.

It's Wednesday, December 3rd. Here this morning's top stories. That sigh of relief you hear, well, that's coming from the White House and Speaker Mike Johnson office as Republican Matt Van Epps edges radical Democrat Afton Ben in that special House election in Tennessee. It's a dodge bullet for the GOP for sure. Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem says she wants more travel bans from dangerous countries and she accuses states like Minnesota of deliberately looking the other way at phony vis. Russia's Vladimir Putin met with US Envoy Steve Witkoff to talk about those Russia, Ukraine peace plans. Did it go well? Well, the oil traders seem to think not so much. The rest of us maybe don't have a clue. Let's not hold our breath over this, folks. I don't think you are. And are you looking for good news on the inflation front? I have it for you, a very important metric you need to hear. Apartment rents continue to go down, not just gross, slower. They're going down significantly on a lot of areas in America. And overall, that's a big price break for millions. American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION continues now. Welcome back to this Wednesday here in AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak. Can you imagine what the mainstream media news programs will be like this morning if Afton Ben, the Democrat had won that special election in Tennessee, it would be wall to wall carpeted coverage all over the place. They would be cheering like it was just the happiest day in the world. She didn't win. She lost by nine percentage points. Definitely cutting into an area where President Trump won by 22 points in 2024 so of course that's concerning. Some of that may have to do with the fact that it was a Tuesday in the middle of the week, right after Thanksgiving. I can't believe they got much of a turnout at all. Remember, every House district in America has to have well over 600,000 people and it was fewer than 200,000 votes counted by far. I mean, not tens of thousands, under 200,000. So you get the point. Not a huge turnout, but there you go, a dodged bullet for the GOP for sure in that razor thin majority in the House. But just imagine which, if you turned on CNN this morning or MSNBC or one of the broadcast networks, if she had won, I mean, it just would have been really, really nauseating. So I'm glad we don't have to deal with that. Welcome back. Joining us now is Dr. We're going to talk about something really a lot more important than what the news media, the mainstream news media thinks is news. And joining us right now is Dr. Issam Hanza. He is the CEO of Rocket, Dr. AI and Dr. I want to talk about something very big picture for you because this has been a pet peeve of mine since at least 2008. I've been writing about it ever since then, talking about it on news programs. The conflation, the mixing up of two different things in our society, which really, it needs to stop.
- [43:46]
Dr. Issam Hanza
Now.
- [43:47]
Jake Novak
Let's make this as clear as we possibly can. Dr. Health insurance is not health care. You know, I was working at FOX of all places, when I urged them not to call it health care reform because it had nothing to do with care. It was just about insurance coverage and it ended up being just about Medicaid, by the way. That's got nothing to do with the way a doctor actually treats you, methods to treat you, surgeries, drugs, the whole thing. Health care is different than health insurance. As a doctor, how much does that make you so frustrated that you basically get depicted as some kind of employee for an insurance company? It's really annoying, isn't, is it's not.
- [44:23]
Dr. Issam Hanza
What we went to school for either. And it's not what we like to do. And you're completely right. I mean, the issue is that we have this gaping wound, let's call it that. And the question is, how do you fix that? Do you argue about who has the prettier band aid or are you going to suture it up? Are you going to fix the problem? And that's what we're talking about. How do you fix the problem? How do you fix the underlying issue. And again, Jake, you said it before, it's supply and demand. It's the idea of how do you improve supply and how do you reduce demand. And that's where you can look at innovative ways that we can talk about.
- [44:57]
Jake Novak
Yeah, that's why I really want to have you on this program from time to time. Because, look, and I want to say this very clearly to the viewers. Of course, of course, of course. And I'm going to talk about a specific example of this in a second. Of course, the illegal aliens and the people who are not paying their way are causing a huge strain on our health care system. I mean that specifically the health care system. Go into any emergency room in a major city, especially on a weekend night, you'll see what I'm talking about. So I am not turning a blind eye to that. And yes, we really need to do so. Obviously, the illegal alien policies for this administration are working on that and I support them very much. But at the end of the day, even if we had no illegal aliens in this country, health care is expensive. And even if it weren't breaking our bank, we certainly want to find a way to increase the supply of it so that we can reduce the cost. Now, I want to talk about this specifically in the state of Oregon. We just found out, and this is a story that I think should have been played up much more, we just found out that the state of Oregon is spending more on illegal alien health care. And it isn't their insurance because they don't have insurance. So literally treating them in emergency rooms and things like that and driving them in ambulances and things like that, they're spending more on that, Dr. Than they are on their state police budget. So let's talk about this for a second. It isn't just the fact that they're illegal aliens. That is a huge problem. And remember, I want them all deported. I'm with everyone watching this program on that. Absolutely. But again, even if they weren't illegals, it's still expensive to treat them. These are human people, obviously. And that is really where the focus is. And it's surprising to me, Doctor, that even from the medical community, I hear more about access to care rather than how can I make this surgery cheaper, how can I make this drug treatment, treatment, things like that. Why are not enough doctors talking about this?
- [46:43]
Dr. Issam Hanza
Well, I mean, I think the, you know, we are here to help people. And the question is whoever's in front of us who are going to help, and that's really, as a doctor, kind of our focus. The problem is the frustration when our hands are tied behind our back and we're spending 33% of our time or more on doing stuff that doesn't help people. It's paperwork, it's administration work, it's dealing with insurance company, it's billing and not the helping the people part of it. And so can we use technology to improve that? And so the question of access to care or better care and so on, I think is missing the point of how do you improve the situation with the money that's already in the system? Not spending more money in the system. Right.
- [47:29]
Jake Novak
Okay, so now let's get to you and your business and using AI to cut down on these costs. Again, we're not going to use terms like increasing access and coverage. We're going to talk about actually when you go to the doctor, how AI can make that visit or you go to the hospital can make your treatment more efficient. What are some of the things that really jump out at you at how much efficiencies can be have been created and can be created by AI?
- [47:55]
Dr. Issam Hanza
Yeah, I mean, I think the issue is that there's no shortage of doctors. It's the problem again, like I said, is that we're spending too much time doing stuff we don't need to do. So imagine as supply and demand. So how do we improve supply? You improve efficiency. You get rid of a lot of the administration stuff. Imagine an AI nurse like we have, calling the patient ahead of time, onboarding them, triaging them, taking the notes, putting into the system, helping the doctor during the visit in shaping the way they talk to the patient and what they're asking and the diagnosis, improving errors in diagnosis, which cost the System, I think $100 billion a year right now and cause 300,000 or more deaths per year. Imagine the AI nurse calling after and seeing how your child is doing on the antibiotics or after you got out of the hospital. Imagine a system that has, as you know, we can just give a digital storefront to shopify for doctors so that they can work and see patients whenever they want, wherever they are, wherever the patient is, Using our AI powered digital tools and platform and doing that so that you're fixing the supply part of it and you're improving demand by reducing the issues before they become a big problem. Imagine a 247 nurse, like I said, seeing the patients so that their diabetes doesn't get worse and before it becomes an emergency or they get an amputation or whatever it is, or checking on the patient after they got out of hospital so they don't end up back in the hospital because nobody was checking on them between visits. That's what we're talking about. How do you improve the supply and demand using AI technology and the resources that we have in the system right now?
- [49:35]
Jake Novak
Yeah, I mean, anyone who doesn't, you know, if you could spend a day at a medical practice or in a hospital department and you don't think, I mean, if you think, oh, he's just talking about some administrative stuff and look, that's a big part of the day and that can really help get more hours, more real hours of actual health care to the patients. But doctor, listen, I've got you on this program and I can't ignore what I think is a bigger picture here. And I want to talk a little bit about what I think is something a lot of people think about either consciously or subconsciously when we talk about technology and AI and medicine. So let me hit it right now because I know I'm thinking about it. Look, I know we have robotic surgery, for example, and there have been some amazing innovations where a doctor in New York can perform a robotic surgery on someone in Toledo or a foreign country via robotics. But what about an actual robot, an actual robot machine performing hands on medical care on people? Are we, are we close to that? Could we see that one day? And what do you think would be some of the real pros and cons of something like that?
- [50:38]
Dr. Issam Hanza
Yeah, I mean, I think you have it in many different ways. Number one, you're right. There are robotic surgeries right now where a surgeon is thousands of miles away and doing surgery on a patient that's not there. But we have something again, like we said, where it's an AI powered nurse or doctor that has the ability to take a history and diagnose with incredible accuracy to the point where it even, it really got almost 100% on one of the medical exams that doctors have to go through when they're students. So the idea of accuracy is important and chatgpt and you know, the LLMs out there, they're not the answer right now. They do hallucinate and they're not very accurate. So the idea of accuracy is going to be important in diagnosis. And then, you know, how do you improve? You're not going to get rid of doctors, I think anytime soon. But what you can do is make it so that you don't need as many doctors or the doctors can see a lot more patients. So for instance, if I can only see 1000 patients or 2000 patients in my practice. If I had a 247 nurse doing all the history and administration work, diagnosis, helping me with the lab work, telling me what to do for the blood work and the imaging and so on, and reviewing the lab results and I'm just seeing the patients I have to see. I can see 10,000 patients. And so the idea of the AI powered 247 doctor is a reality. But you're not going to get rid of doctors completely. You're going to improve their lives so that they can see more patients and you're going to improve the ability for the system to keep the cost down and improve accuracy and get rid of the misdiagnosis and the cost to the system. It's almost there, Jake, and I think it's exciting. This is what we have a passion for and this is why we're in what we're in in the space we're in. This is around the corner. It's coming.
- [52:26]
Jake Novak
Yeah. Well, and as I said the last time I had the program, and I'll say it again, everybody knows the AI doctor on Star Trek Voyager was the best character in the show. So get someone like that and everyone's gonna like it. Dr. Ahsam Honza from Rocket Dr. AI, thank you so much for joining us. We're gonna check in with you once in a while because again, please, everyone, Congress, stop talking about insurance. Insurance isn't gonna make anyone feel better. It's doctors, it's actual health care. And I really wish the news media would stop calling health insurance reform health care reform because they are two different things. Coming up, the Trump team is talking tough on the kinds of issues even the toughest conservative Republicans have been afraid to address. They're talking about food stamps. Do people like Secretary Brook Rollins have the communication skills to get it done? Gotta be tough, but you also have to be smart. David Brody and I will discuss when American Sunrise Early EDITION comes right back.

All right, I'm going to pat myself on the back here for a second. We didn't know there was no information about what's on going stadium. This was they just kind of put up the shot. We had a guess and when I saw that Budweiser very prominent sign on the back of that scoreboard, I knew it had to be busch Stadium in St. Louis. And it turned out it was. Then we checked out a few other things. That's busch Stadium in St. Louis. I was at the old Busch Stadium. Not Sportsman's park, but the old Busch stadium more than 30 years ago. It's on the same spot, but they redid it completely, made it a much more beautiful baseball only stadium. Remember the old Busch Stadium was one of those cookie cutter multipurpose stadiums. There were a few of them, Veterans Stadium, the old Veterans Stadium, the old Three River Stadium, Busch Stadium, Riverfront Stadium. I think there was one more where they just were these circular stadiums. They had no character whatsoever, but they were efficient financially and the cities of all those things own them. And as you can see, it's a snow covered field. We're a long way away from baseball season. I'm not even going to tell you how many days it is before pitchers and catchers report to spring training. I don't think we should even report that until football season's over. I'm full into football right now and sadly, St. Louis doesn't have football anymore. Welcome back to American Sunrise early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. Want to talk to you about something about messaging here because even for those of you who feel very strongly about a particular issue, you have to understand that not everybody is in the same place that you are as far as being informed and being fired up about something. I hope that Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is listening because I think she rightfully is doing an interesting thing now. She's threatening to cut off food stamp or snap money from a number of cities, sorry, a number of states if they don't cough up to the federal government, to the Trump administration the information on how many illegal aliens are getting those food stamps. Now that sounds like a good policy to me. These guys are gonna give our money to foreigners, people who aren't even citizens, people who are illegally. They better tell us about it. Here's the problem. As we bring in David Brody, you know what's gonna happen? They're gonna say that Brooke Rollins is starving Americans. The same news media that didn't accuse Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries of starving Americans. I did, because that's what they were doing during the shutdown. But you know what? They're gonna, they're gonna turn this into a very heart rending, you know, basically cry fest. And I don't know if Brooke Rollins, maybe she does, has the chops to be able to prepare for that. How about you, David?
- [58:17]
David Brody
Well, I don't know about Brooke Rollins specifically about whether or not she has the chops, because I think this goes beyond Brooke Rollins. I mean, I think this goes the entire PR administration. What's the word I'm looking for? Apparatus, I guess is the best word to say. Yeah, the team. Yeah. Because this is going to be an all hands on deck situation. Because you're absolutely right. There's going to be a problem with all of this. And here's another problem, Jake. It's not just about having the PR nightmare of saying, hey, we're cutting SNAP benefits for folks. Because let's be honest, I mean, people don't deep dive on this type of stuff and don't really go to the core issues of what's going on in terms of fraud and abuse and all that type of stuff. They're not looking at that. All they're looking at like, hey, wait, I'm not getting my paycheck or my paycheck, my SNAP benefits. And many folks that aren't even that don't even get SNAP benefits. They're looking at media reports going, oh yeah, I hear my grandmother's not getting SNAP benefits. That's messed up. That's ends there. It ends there. So you're going to lose, Jake. And one last thing. I'll just say that the problem here is that you've got. I know we talk about this affordability crisis, if you will, and there's some truth to that. And so some truth to that. And so if you put that on top of all of this, I think it's just too much to handle. I'm not sure this is the right move.

Yeah, it's definitely going to be tough. But the way to do it is to start out with the outrage. Basically show some American citizens who may getting and say we could give these people double the SNAP benefits if it weren't for all the illegal aliens taking it. That might be the way to go, but maybe it's already too late for that. Whatever, they can hire David and I to do that for them. All right, folks, we've got a situation coming up here with two hours of the big show coming up on Real America's Voice, American Sunrise. I'll join you around 9:25 and I'll see you on Early Edition tomorrow at 7. This is an Iheart podcast. Guaranteed human.
