Ahead on AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. What the heck took so long? That's the big question this morning after the FBI arrested a left wing activist in Virginia for planting pipe bombs at the Democrat and Republican headquarters in D.C. in January 2021. The suspect had an evidence against him a mile along, but it appears the previous regime at the FBI was in no hurry to arrest him ever.
- [01:04]
But the Democrats sure are excited and working around the clock and quickly to keep smearing American soldiers and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as they continue to vehemently defend murderous drug cartels. That's despite a video of Joe Biden from years ago. Here it is where he calls for the US to do exactly what it's doing now in the Caribbean. Did they think we would forget?
- [01:27]
The evidence is mounting of a deeply coordinated and deliberate policing of all kinds of federal funding by Democrats, Democrats and their supporters in Minnesota. No, it's not just the COVID relief money anymore.
- [01:41]
Still don't think the elites want to endanger regular American citizens. Wait until you find out where the man who assaulted an NYU student earlier this week was living even after he had 16 prior arrests.
- [01:56]
And AI may not be so bad after all. It's putting an end to an age old practice that lawyers have loved for decades. But nobody else loves it. I'm talking about billable hours. Oh, praise the Lord. American Sunrise EARLY EDITION begins now.

Welcome everybody to a no tie Friday here on American Sunrise EARLY edition. And before I get into the specifics of what, of course, is the top story for everyone this morning, the the arrest and the the pipe bomber cases, I just want to make a a general comment about it that I think really needs to be made. And I don't think it'll be a surprise to anyone, anyone here, but maybe I can articulate it in a short and quick way that you can all share with your friends and neighbors and maybe some of your opponents. I can't think of anything that undermines a civil society more than a two tiered justice system or a multi tiered justice system. It doesn't take a genius to see that it wouldn't be a Sherlock Holmes case or the toughest case in the world to have found this alleged pipe bomb guy, Ryan Cole Jr. Probably within days or months at the, at the most of the planting of those pipe bombs on January 5, 2021. The evidence against this guy was a mile long. It was very, very detailed. It was very, very clear, and it really seems extremely clear that the FBI under Christopher Wray and under the Biden administration had no interest whatsoever in arresting him. And I think we can all guess why. The perpetrator was not a Trump supporter. The perpetrator was not white. The perpetrator was not someone who fit into a political narrative that they were pushing very hard after the January 6 protests that there was an insurrectionist, dangerous, violent, domestic terrorist group connected to the Trump supporters in this country. And so they decided to let it languish. Maybe they would have eventually arrested him 10 years from now, who knows? All I can say is this is the kind of thing that gets even good people to stop abiding by the law. They don't believe that the law is being administered fairly or listen, we always know they're going to be mistakes. But when there's a deliberate policy to arrest some people and not others for the same crime, you have a huge problem. We know that there were grandmothers who walked into the Capitol and did Nothing violent on January 6, who not only were found, but were found with the most intricate and round the clock type surveillance and work by the FBI. Those people were rounded up and arrested and put in jail for a long time. This is not the place for us to argue necessarily all about whether that was fair or not. I think a lot of people know where I stand on that. But I'm just talking from a point of view of jurisprudence and a point of view of enforcing the law. This is really just beyond. I think it's just beyond where we would hope to be in America right now. We'll talk a lot about more of this on Real America's Voice all day today and the situation there. But Brian Cole Jr. A person who had a long history of left wing activism. This would have been a very easy slam dunk case if they had decided they wanted to actually follow it. This is what, you know, it just has to make you sad. I know makes, it makes us angry and I'm certainly angry with you on this one. But it makes me sad that we are in a country now. Every single day we seem to find evidence of two tiered justice. And even though the Biden team is gone, of course there are Democrat run cities and Democrat run states all over this country still following this practice. It's got to stop. But I don't really know how it's going to stop. I really don't. All we can do is in the states where we have more responsible leaders to try to follow the law. There's going to be mistakes. We're all human. To err is human, but that's the only excuse. Not a two tiered justice system. All right. The funny thing about it is the Democrats. It would be one thing if the Democrats were just a group that was slow to judgment. They were too lenient on every single case. Okay. I mean that would be frustrating, but that would be a little bit more understandable. But we know that's not the case because as we talk about this lenience and this decision not to go after the pipe bomber, the same Democrats can't go after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. And by the way, let's not forget this. And by the way, the US servicemen and women who are carrying out these attacks, I believe righteous attacks on the Venezuelan drug cartels, the Venezuelan drug boats, et cetera, et cetera, deciding that he's guilty of war crimes with no evidence, with no one who's willing to go on the record deciding that it's very clear that certain laws are being broken and certain orders coming from the commander in chief are illegal. But then when asked which ones they're talking about, they're not willing to say, talk about cowardice to make a video like Mark Kelly, at least Slotkin and the others did, to say that Pete Hegseth and everyone else should be questioned and don't follow any illegal orders. And what cowardice. When they're asked which orders are you talking about, they say there aren't any. Just incredible cowardice. But there's your rush to judgment. It's not like the Democrats are just leaning and letting everybody off the hook. They're going after Pete Hegseth and calling people war criminal. It's just incredible and undermining our Military. Now, let's go to another place where there are no judgments. Apparently that's in Minnesota. Now, listen, we've been reporting for the last couple of days about a billion dollars or more that was supposed to go for Covid relief. Covid relief in, you know, where a lot of cities got federal money to help with the shutdowns, to help people get money while they weren't working in their jobs. And we know that the Somali community, many of them illegal immigrants, some of them legal immigrants, doesn't matter. They were all committing crimes, took that money and funneled it right back to the Al Shabaab terrorist group in Africa. We know this is the case. Of course, since then we've learned of other programs, both state and federal, where money was taken. One story that's been completely suppressed and talk about two tier justice is another story out of Minnesota that we learned earlier this week where a Somali couple was running one of those phony Medicaid scam health clinics. And I say one of those phony because this is an old scam. This is a scam that's been going on in this country for probably about 50 years where people set up health care centers or they say they're setting them up usually in immigrant communities where the police and where the other investigators may not know the language and may not be able to really infiltrate into the community and get informers and things like that. This is something that the Russian immigrant community in Brooklyn has been doing for years. They get a storefront, they get an address, they go out on the street and ask people who speak their language, come on in, sign your name. And then they start billing Medicaid for health services and medical services that were never actually performed. And that's the end of that. They usually give them something like 50 bucks. Back in the early 2000s, they used to give out ipods. Remember, Just ipods, not iPhone, music. They used to do that here, over there in Brooklyn. Well, that's what these Somali, a Somali couple was accused of doing to the tune of $7.2 million in Medicaid fraud. And they were convicted by a Minnesota jury, which probably wasn't easy to do. It was probably wasn't easy to seat a jury in Minneapolis where there are so many Somali immigrants who would have looked the other way. Well, they were convicted. And then the judge in the case earlier this week overturned the conviction, saying she didn't like the way the evidence looked. Again, this is an old scam. This is like the, the old pigeon drop scam or the old Nigerian prince scam. It's not like it was anything new or a new indictment or something that was conjured up just to go after Somalis? It's an old scam. People from all immigrant groups in this country have been doing this, probably like I said, for four decades. The judge overturned it. Two tiered justice. This isn't going to work, folks. This isn't going to work in America. We can't continue to do this. So this is where we are this morning. Three cases of two tiered justice that I want everyone to pay close attention to. Someone plants pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democrat National Committees. And from what we understand from Dan Bogino, there may be more arrests today. We may find that out because we have some questions to ask. Like, for example, were those pipe bombs that duds? Did the suspect in this case, Brian Cole Jr. Know that those pipe bombs would never have gone off and they were just set there to look bad and to try to smear Trump supporters? That's one. And for those of you saying, well, then why would they put something outside of Republican National Committee headquarters? Remember, we were very upset in the pro Trump community over all the Republicans who were just going along with what happened in the 2020 election. That was gonna be the narrative. I think we'll see. So we have to find that out. We need to find out if he was ordered to do it or aided to do it by a larger organization and to try to find that out as well. But we find out that there was all kinds of evidence, dead to rights. They had this guy probably within days after January 5, 2020, 21, and he was never arrested, questioned or anything. Two tiered justice, not the kind of person they wanted to go after, maybe. Did they not go after him because he was an African American, because he was a leftist, because he wasn't a Trump supporter? Or did they not go after him because somebody at the FBI knew this was a setup from the first place? This sounds like crazy conspiracy theory stuff. I admit it openly right now. But what else can you think this is? What happens to societies when you have two tier justice. You get people realizing that there may be a very nefarious undercurrent of a story. That's number one. Number two, these same Democrats who have no interest in prosecuting or going after a potential pipe bomber, can't wait to, without evidence and without anyone willing to go on the record, smear the Secretary of War of this country as a war criminal. Now, I know we have partisan divisions in this country, but you're really willing to put our troops and American citizens who are traveling overseas in the kind of harm's way that you're doing that when you say that our leading defense official might be a war criminal, don't you understand that Americans are going to be killed and attacked all over the world, even just regular terrorists when you do that? So there they're willing to rush to judgment. There, they're willing to put out stories and then maybe retract them later and on and on. And finally, we have this story in Minnesota where as long as you're an immigrant community that's going to vote for your party, in this case the Democrats, they're willing to let them fleece the treasury, fleece your own state's funds, and most importantly, take food and aid out of the mouths of American citizens who are poor, who might be veterans, take that money away from them and give it to either illegal aliens or even legal immigrants. It doesn't matter. People who don't need the money, people who are stealing the money, that is the United States of America that we're all waking up to this morning. I know it isn't just this morning and it's very angering and it's really infuriating, but it's also very, very sad. We can't let this happen. Our country is worth more than that. I'm going to still have a smile on my face throughout the day because I'm still in the greatest country in the world. And we can fix it, but not if we turn our backs on these facts. All right, coming up, get my power tie, my suspenders and my hair gel. Maybe not the hair gel anymore because it feels like we're in the middle of a good old fashioned 1980s style takeover battle for Warner Brothers. It's getting nasty too, by the way. But first, did some real investigative journalism last night and I'm going to tell you the real story about this career criminal who was caught assaulting a female NYU student on the street. Guess where he was living when he committed some of these crimes? You got to hear this when American Sunrise EARLY EDITION comes right back.

It's a live look at Little Italy in New York. And what you can't see when you just look at that picture, that live video is how freaking cold it is. It's no tie Friday here in American Sunrise EARLY edition. But I was thinking of putting on a scarf instead. 18 degrees here on Long island this morning. Manhattan, it tends to be a little bit, a little bit warmer. It depends on what part of town it is. This is not right on the water. So it's 21 degrees in, as they tell me in the control room right now. So very cold this morning in New York. Welcome back to American Sunrise EARLY edition. Again, I said it's no tie Friday. Thank you so much. For those of you who have joined us on the Getter and the Rumble chats already up and commenting this morning. You can also watch live and comment live on X on Substack, a few other platforms as well. And you can watch live without commenting on plenty of other places as well, like Prime Video and things like that. Listen, folks, on what this is a very interesting story. Here comes a little bit of a Journalism 101 lesson on something that isn't just theory. It's really happening right now. I want you to really dig into the story with me on Wednesday night. The local ABC News affiliate here in New York City, which is owned by ABC Disney, it's one of the owned and operated affiliates, had a really great story, a really great caveat and a story that was already a big story here in New York. You might remember earlier this week, a guy who had 16 prior arrests was caught on surveillance camera here. You see it here knocking over a female NYU undergraduate student and beating her up a little bit. She's okay now. Thankfully, they got the guy. Turns out he had not only 16 prior arrests, but when he was a 17 year old, he stabbed and murdered someone in Brooklyn. What a lovely guy. Now, the local ABC channel had a scoop that they went with hard on Wednesday night. It turns out that this guy, James Rizzo, who you see in the attack, he wasn't just living In Greenwich Village. He was living in the same dorm as the woman he attacked.
- [17:23]
So people were asking, what the heck is NYU housing? Guys like this who have 16 prior arrests. Is it a halfway house? What the heck's going on? It was a great story. It got a lot of people interested in things. And then they took it down. Yesterday, around, oh, I want to say 11am they took the story down. You can't find it anywhere. Now, I spent the afternoon in the evening calling up Channel 7 Eyewitness News here, trying to ask them, hey, wait a minute. Did you get the facts wrong? Was the guy not living in NYU housing calling and calling and calling? I guess it was like 3am I got a response here on my phone. No, the facts are true, Jake. We just decided to move on. You just decided to move on. That's the most interesting part of the story. Here's a headline. Schools like NYU, which cost well over $80,000, sticker price for tuition, room and board. To send your kid there, use the extra rooms in some of their dormitories and student housing to house criminals, people. It was a halfway house. This guy had violent arrests. So if you're a parent sending your kids to one of these fancy schools, especially in an urban area, you might want to ask, when they send you on that really fancy tour with a student who's walking backwards and telling cute stories about what they do at the student union and how they have a great internship. Oh, yeah, by the way, is my kid going to be living next to a career criminal who has a murder on his record and, and continues to beat up people in Greenwich Village? This guy did it to an elderly lady a few days before. That's maybe a question you should ask. But here's the thing that really has my blood boiling. This is a good story. ABC 7. You had the most interesting aspect of the story and you ran with it just once. You killed the story. I think we all know what happened here. NYU and its big time money people got on the phone with ABC and said, if you continue to run this story, you're gonna have a big problem with us here. And et cetera, et cetera, Maybe even the city called them and said, hey, this is part of our program to house career criminals in empty apartments and dorm rooms across the city. If you do that, we're never going to give you an interview with the mayor. Whatever they were going to do, you know that ABC7 was threatened on this. They didn't just drop the story. They're not that stupid. Any fifth grader can tell you that the most interesting aspect of the story is that NYU was housing a career criminal, clearly not a student. And housing them right next to people, young, vulnerable people. Like that student who was attacked. Maybe he was stalking her in the building before he went out and got her on the street. There's a lot of aspects of the story that they're just dropping. They just dropped it. Give me a break, Channel seven. We know what really happened. Come clean. I'll help you. If there's somebody at the assignment desk@channel7 who wants to come clean and tell me, even anonymously, that he was pressured or she was pressured to drop this aspect of the story, I will have you on as a guest. We'll cover your face up. We'll have you sucking helium so that your voice is distorted. Whatever we have to do. I want to find out why Channel 7 in New York dropped the most interesting aspect of the story. Clearly they don't want to make money. It's a point I've been making for a long time. The mainstream media channels are losing money by being so crazy partisan. And maybe that's the business plan. Maybe they're there just to be partisan hacks and to help other aspects of their business with their lobbying. That's maybe what's going on. All right. There are a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas. But Birchgold thinks that you, as a smart planner, 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 rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less. Less. And what happens at the AI bubble bursts. You gotta diversify. Let Birch Gold 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 gonna 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 989898 to claim your eligibility for this offer. Again, text America to the number 9,898 98 today.

It's a live look at Madison, Indiana this morning. It is cold in the heartland, my friends. Not too crazy. Far away from Indiana is Iowa. And I know Iowa. Yesterday it was like negative 12 degrees. No, not the wind chill. The regular temperature was negative 12 degrees. And they were very happy that it was only a five mile an hour wind in Iowa yesterday. So the wind chill was only in the negative 20s. But my goodness, super cold. And I hope you all notice that when we have super cold snow apps in this country, they are reported at about 10% of the clip of when we have heat waves. We know what that's all about. Just report the weather. And again, if it's crazy cold somewhere, just like it's crazy hot, people will watch that, they'll click on that story, they'll talk about it. Why would you suppress it for politics? Is that really worth it? It's just not worth it. Let's take a look where the markets are going to begin today. We had a mixed day on the market yesterday. Actually, we had the markets treading water yesterday. It was pretty flat. The NASDAQ was up, the Dow was down. Nothing much yesterday. Here's what's happening, folks. We're just a few days away from the Fed decision. We are five days away from the Fed making their decision on interest rates. A lot of investors like to keep their powder dry until that happens. So I'll be surprised if we see a massive move in the markets between now and the Fed decision. It's possible, certainly possible other things can happen. You can have a black swan event. You can have a great event, but I'm not expecting that. As you see, looks like we'll have modest, modest, modest higher open this morning. Let's take a look at Bitcoin as bitcoin has basically got itself over that $90,000 mark. But that's kind of where it's stuck right now. 912 right now down this morning, but still clearly above the $90,000 mark. And we'll see if it can continue a march higher. Folks, the battle to buy Warner Brothers is turning into one of those old 1980s style hostile takeover situations with multiple suitors really going after the target. Now I reported to you a couple days ago, and maybe yesterday as well, that Netflix, the streaming giant offered an all cash offer to buy Warner Brothers. This is for Warner Brothers, the DC Comics movies, the cnn, all kinds of other properties in the Warner Brothers empire. It's definitely valuable. You can see why other media organizations want to buy it, although I don't think CNN is valuable and talk about that in a second. But the person, the group that had the inside track to buy Warner Brothers until just now was Paramount. Paramount, Skydance, it's called, owned by David Ellison, who is a little bit more to the right. He's certainly not a conservative. I wouldn't call him a far conservative by any means. I guess he's more moderate and more right wing and but they had, they had a good offer for Warner Brothers for a long time. Warner Brothers either wanted more money or as I suspect now. And this is something that is different from the old 1980s. I suspect that politics is playing a role in the fact that maybe Netflix has the inside track now, not just because they made an all cash offer. Netflix CEO is Reed Hastings and there's a bunch of stuff going on there. Reed Hastings is a big Democrat supporter, a big left wing money man. Remember he has a deal at Netflix with the Obamas where they've been behind or at least they put their names on something. It's basically money laundering. I'm sure they didn't do any actual work for Netflix, but you get my point. Netflix is a more left friendly group and it may be that Warner Brothers doesn't want to sell the Paramount because it's not so left friendly or at least the owner isn't. Although I don't really think that it's much of a right wing organization. Don't get me wrong on that one. But remember, CNN is a big part of this, this equation. Where is it going to go? I think CNN is going to go away and just become a streaming channel. Netflix is willing to do it. And because Netflix is run by left wingers, the conspiracy theories about it being killed off. CNN being killed off by a bunch of right wingers won't be able to get any traction. Of course, if anyone kills off CNN it'll be because it's a money loser. That would be the reason, not because of any politics. Now it looks more and more like the discount stores in America that make the shopping at that discount store less of a depressing moment and more of a fun moment. Are going to have a very good Christmas. The latest example of that is 5 below. I'm almost 55 years old, but I love going into 5 below. My inner child comes out when I go into that store. I don't know if you guys have the same experience. They have great candy, they have funny T shirts, they have all kinds of home decor, which is kind of fun. It's fun to go there. And so they're having a great, great year so far. They have started the Christmas season going gangbusters. The Five Below stock was up nicely yesterday on this. I think that people are looking for bargains, but they also don't want to be depressed. So Five Below I think checks that box. All right, ladies and gentlemen, now a message from Tom Cruise. Listen to this.

A great scene from the movie the Firm with the great. The late, great Paul Sorvino. They're sitting there shocked. Yes, billable hours has been a scam that the fancy law firms have been using for years to inflate their revenues. Well, it turns out that AI is doing so much of the grunt work that first and second year associate lawyers have been doing at those firms. It's been doing so much of it that the law firms can no longer explain and basically justify massive billable hours. So what are these law firms gonna have to do now to make money? They're actually gonna have to get results for their clients. What a shocker. They're gonna have to win cases for them or get cases dismissed or win lawsuits. How about that? I like that. It's kind of like when you go to the garage and you have. And you buy a tire, that's a couple hundred bucks and they charge you $1,000 because of labor. All right. I love that this is happening to the lawyers now. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.

I am a very big acolyte of consumer reports when it comes to looking for a car. Subaru came in number one in this Year's Consumer Reports most reliable rankings. BMW was second. Porsche was third. Lincoln was the number one US Brand in that grouping. It came in seven. That's the highest ranking for any American brand in a long time. So congratulations to Lincoln on that. I know they have some very, very hot SUVs that a lot of people like. The national average price for a gallon of gasoline in America has Now remained below $3 a gallon for three days in a row. You know, I really thought that the Trump administration, and President Trump himself was actually gonna make a special standalone news conference about this when it broke. Below three. It's a very big deal for Americans. First time since 2021 that we've seen that national average go down below 3. I don't want to ignore this. This is a huge part of the daily expenses in the lives of American consumers and businesses. So big deal. Has President Trump. I got a question for you. Has President Trump made those tiny, almost toy like Japanese Kei cars? Kei is how they say, there they are. They look like toys. Has he made them legal in the US because they've been illegal in the US For a long time, for obvious reasons. I mean, I wouldn't want to be in one of those, going up against an SUV on a slick traffic, on a slick track in America and, and get into a crash with them. But he liked them. When he saw them in Japan during his recent visit, he talked about how he'd like to bring them to the United States. I don't think that they're coming here just yet, but if they do, please make sure that the people in those cars strap themselves in. I'm not vouching for their safety. All right, I want to alert all of you to a growing theft problem in America. Ford F150 tail lights are being stolen everywhere. Why are they stealing them? Because it's really expensive to replace them. So a lot of people going into. Maybe a smaller mechanic, maybe you're getting a stolen tail light to replace yours. Anyway, Ford is telling people, make sure that you park your Ford F150 in a well lit area, maybe even back it up against the garage. So it's hard for the tail light to be stolen. And there are some special screws you can buy at auto parts stores that will make it harder to dislodge them. Just an alert there for my viewers. Okay, coming up, remember when Joe Biden was all in and all in favor of military strikes on drug cartels in Central and Latin America? Do you remember that? Well, don't worry, he doesn't remember, but we do. And I'll have the proof. And but first, Harvard simply isn't serious about being a decent university. Its latest hire proves that. American Sunrise EARLY EDITION will be right back.

December 5th. Here are this morning's top stories. What the heck took so long? That's the big question this morning after the FBI arrested a left wing activist in Virginia for planting pipe bombs at Democrat and Republican headquarters in D.C. on January 5, 2021. The suspect had evidence against him a mile long, but it appears the previous regime at the FBI was in no hurry to arrest him. Him like ever.
- [32:24]
The evidence is mounting of a deeply coordinated and deliberate fleecing of all kinds of federal funding and state funding by Democrats and their supporters in Minnesota. It's not just the COVID relief money anymore, folks.
- [32:39]
Do you still not think that the elites want to endanger regular American citizens in a Hobbesian dystopia? Well, wait until you find out where the man who assaulted an NYU student earlier this week was living even though he had 16 prior arrests and a murder conviction. And AI, you know what may not be so bad after all? It's putting an end to an age old practice that lawyers have loved for decades but nobody else does. I'm talking about billable hours. They're going bye bye. Oh, praise the Lord. American Sunrise EARLY EDITION continues. Now.
- [33:16]
You know, isn't it nice that you can watch this program and all the other programs on Real America's Voice and not have to pay any billable hours? I mean, someone tell me what the going rate is at a white shoe law firm for billable hours. What is it, $2,500 an hour? I don't know what it is. It's some crazy number. But AI is doing all the grunt work and these law firms now are going to actually have to win cases and settlements for their clients to earn their money. What a concept. What a concept. All right. Welcome back. Joining us right now is the former chairman of the Trump 47 National Women's Leadership Coalition. It's Erit Trott and Irit. I don't think people are getting it. You know, you're here in the New York area with me. I don't think people are quite getting it yet even now about Zoran Mamdani, the man who is now poised to become the mayor of New York City in 27 days. He's going to be the mayor he has been appointing to his administration and to his transition staff, Israel Hater, after Israel Hater. I don't understand. For those People who are watching like the rest of us who are America first. Why do you need to hire a bunch of Israel haters? And I'm not saying they're just like casually Israel haters. Like, that's their mo. That's what they do. They're just Israel haters. I'm not really sure what a professional Israel hater is needed, why that's needed in the New York City government, but that's what he's doing. It's not about freezing the rent.

It's not about the affordability. New York City's been unaffordable since 1525, the year after the Dutch got here. I mean, let's be honest here. This is about anti Semitism, anti Israel hatred, anti Trump hatred. And you've just elected a hate monger. And he's building an army around him, isn't he?
- [34:47]
Erit Trott
He sure is. Jewish New Yorkers are very, very worried. You look at these committees. First of all, there's 17 committees filled with about 400 people. Most of them, if not all of them, are Israel haters. I mean, this lies at the core of Mamdani's agenda. You've got his committee on safety, public safety. I talk about Israel haters. Tamika Mallory is reemerging now, remember, she was fired as a founder of the Women's March. She was leading the Women's March movement, but she was fired for her admiration of Louis Farrakhan. Well, she's now making a comeback on Zoran Mamdani's transition team. It's anti police, it's anti law enforcement. Alex Vital, who is a professor at Brooklyn, in Brooklyn, he wrote a police. He wrote a book on abolishing the police. You have other Ilana Leopold, who wants to take $1 billion away from the NYPD and put it towards other measures. It's just a bag of bad apples. He's off to a terrible start. You also on the Committee on Public Health, Abby Stein. I mean, she calls herself a rabbi. I can't bring myself to call her a rabbi. She's a rabbi. I must be the next Sydney Sweeney. Give me a break. She's a rabid, anti Zionist and Israel hater. She was actually thrown out of Joe Biden's Pride gathering at the White House for her anti Semitism. She's a self loathing, self hating Jew. And you also have, there's nothing remotely patriotic of any of these committee members, transition team members. You have someone who talks about being proud of her Palestinian identity. There's nothing American or even Frankly, New York, about.
- [36:28]
Any of these picks. Some of them have come from Syria, from Pakistan. Jewish New Yorkers are very, very scared and they have a right to be.
- [36:37]
Jake Novak
Yeah, I hate to be proved right, but honestly, for years I've been saying. And people don't understand anti Semitism, including a lot of victims of antisemitism, people who actually have their hearts in the right place. Antisemitism is not a. It's got nothing to do with the Jews. It's about a war on civilization and we're seeing it now in real time. I hate to be proven right here because I wish I were wrong. It's a war on civilization. They are going to destroy the city. It's got nothing to do with any ethnic group. They're just going to attack. Speaking of that, we also have another civilization that was destroyed a long time ago. That's the civilization at Harvard University. Now. They caught a grad student a while back assaulting a Jewish student at one of these protests at Harvard University. They have now hired the perpetrator in this story. That person is now on the staff. That's how serious Harvard is about protecting its students. This is where we are in America, isn't it?
- [37:30]
Erit Trott
Does Harvard University even have any standards anymore? I guess open harassment of Jews will get you a role on their faculty. He actually got $65,000 too, from as a first fellowship at Harvard. And this is on top of another Harvard professor who was caught shooting his BB gun firing off a gun in front of a synagogue. I mean, it's just terrible. That's why Ruth Weiss, the great intellectual Ruth Weiss saw the writing on the wall as she joined Harvard in the early 90s and left years later because she saw what was happening at that university. And you know, what parent is going to pay.
- [38:07]
A hefty tuition check to have their kids be taught by these fools, by these radical ideologues. That's why you see the emergence of. I'm now in that college space looking at universities and I see a lot of my friends, they're skipping the ivies like Harvard University. And you see places like the University of Florida, Florida, Vanderbilt, Washington University becoming more popular. University of Florida just established their Hamilton School. You have intellectual heavyweights like Walter Russell Mead teaching there. I mean, I would much rather have my child being taught by someone like him over this guy who, who attacked a Jewish student.
- [38:44]
Jake Novak
Yeah, tell. Tell Governor DeSantis that in my spare time I'm willing to teach a course in media studies at UF as well. Let's let's stick, let's stick with this university situation and get beyond just anti Semitism and politics and get right to the crux of the matter of where I believe we're in a situation now where the elites really hate the people. This is a story I talked about earlier in the program. We had a NYU female student assaulted on camera on the streets of Greenwich Village earlier this week. The guy who did it, James Rizzo, 16 prior arrests, including a murder on his record. That was bad enough. Why are these people walking around in the city? Found out. Abc, the local ABC affiliate here in New York, found out on Wednesday night doing a story about it. About how RZA was actually living in NYU housing in the same dormitory as the woman he assaulted. What the heck was he doing living there? Of course there's a program where NYU gets money probably from the city to house some of these criminals and they just want to keep it quiet. ABC took the story down. You can't find it on their website or in their social medias. They just took it down. They gave me a sheepish excuse at three in the morning this morning, telling me, oh, we just wanted to update the story. The facts are still the same. Why would you walk away from the most interesting part of the story? The answer is simple, Iri. They don't want to admit that their university takes money to house violent criminals. Next to the kids like yours, who you're going to be sending to school soon, who they're paying, who are paying 80 grand a year to go to your fancy school as a parent, we have to consider this. Now. Can you believe this?
- [40:17]
Erit Trott
100%. I mean, shame on NYU, shame on ABC News for taking that story down. All it took was for nyu, the people at nyu, to do a quick check on who was living in their housing to recognize that this was a very dangerous man who should have been kept far away. He should be frankly in jail. But listen, this is part of a greater crime crisis that is sweeping through New York and it has Kathy Hochul's name written all over it. It's about her failed bail reform, putting criminals first. And frankly, women are at the center of her pro criminal policies. The attack on Amelia Lewis comes a few weeks after this spitting incident. You have this man spitting all over women in New York and he was caught and then released a day later. You have repeat offenders being released over and over again onto the streets of New York. And women are ultimately overwhelmingly the target of this crime spree. You have the being also set on fire in the subways Kathy Hochul smiles and says subways are safe. And she positions herself as some paragon of feminist virtue, saying she was, you know, she's the first female governor of New York. But women are increasingly. They are. So they are put in danger. Because of her policies, New Yorkers should be able to study, work and live in safety. But there's a crime spree happening across New York. And Swy Elise Stefanik's offering common sense solutions to stay stop this insanity. And you have Hokul and Mamdani. Wow, they are a dangerous duo.

Jake Novak
I have to tell you something, and I'm going to say this very bluntly. If you are a white student or a Jewish student, or even an Asian American student of Asian, you know, Asian ancestry, the administrators at these schools mean your children harm. It's simple as that. I promise you that. There were some administrators at NYU who were happy to see that video of one of their students assaulted. They'll deny it, but they literally are angry because remember, these are the paying students. They feel like they're a millstone around their neck. Oh, those kids with the rich parents who pay the 80 grand for the tuition, room and board. It's, it's a love hate relationship. They want their money, but then they know they have to sort of service them and they, oh, I don't want to. That's what's going on here. Just, I'm sorry to be blunt, but that's what's going on here. Irita, I have to cut you off just for a second because I hope you have a great weekend. Thank you so much for joining us. Just want to alert the audience and thank you to the control room for helping me alert this. And I followed up on my own just now. Netflix has won the bidding war for Warner Brothers. I was just talking about it in the last segment. It's going to be a $72 billion all cash deal. It gives you an idea of how much money Netflix has. But something interesting about this. Warner Brothers shares are only up 1.8% on the news For a deal like that, they should be up a lot more now. What does that tell you? That tells you the shareholders believe that the fix was in for Netflix and that it could have gotten to win it, that they could have gotten more money if the bidding process had gone longer. And again, I think politics played a role. Netflix, owned by Reed Hastings, the Democrat donor. And I think that Warner Brothers was feeling more comfortable selling to him and not Paramount. Skydance, that has a little bit more of a conservative ownership in David and David Ellison and of course his father, Larry Ellison, who runs Oracle. I think that's what's going on here because a $72 billion all cash deal, Warner Brothers should be up 5, 6, 7, 8%. They're not because the shareholders know that they may have gone cheap for political reasons. Okay. Coming up, old Joe Biden makes the case. Old Joe Biden makes the case for the Trump administration. He's on the Trump side, is he? He's telling everyone why we should attack the drug cartels, quote, where they live. David Brody and I will discuss and have the video and audio evidence to prove it. We'll be right back.
- [44:11]
Welcome back to American Sunrise, early edition. Yes, getting some snow flurries in Washington or are those the tears of the angels? I think it's the tears of angels as they look down at the two tier justice system of Washington, D.C. and protest with their tears. All right, that's just me being a little bit crazy and poetic. And now I would like to give you a word of full support of President Trump and full support of Secretary of War Pete Hexseth from Joe Biden. Listen to this.
- [44:39]
David Brody
We think we should do more to stem the flow of drugs across our borders. And we think we should go one step further. Let's go after the drug lords where they live with an international strike force. There must be no safe haven for these narco terrorists and they must know it.
- [44:59]
Jake Novak
Let's go after the drug cartels where they live, an international strike force. Hey, Joe, listen, I know he forgot that he said that he actually, even before he had dementia, probably forgot that he said that because he just changed things he said every day for his entire political career. But you know, it's just amazing, David, there is no, I believe, issue based debate in America anymore, at least with the Democrats. I think within the Republican Party there is, within conservative groups, we debate policy all the time. It's just tribal warfare from them. In other words, if I do it, it's good, if you do it, it's bad and there's no right or wrong. And this is yet another example of this. This isn't me talking about hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is in politics all the time. I'm talking about an entire American political party that has no understanding or interest in right or wrong. Just me versus you.
- [45:49]
David Brody
No, it's a great point. And the real question is why has the Trump administration not quickly moved to hire Joe Biden, the 1989 Joe Biden, as a top security aid for their team for their administration. Such a great point. And I know you're talking about hypocrisy in the Democrats, which of course never happens. Jake, as I continue on my sarcasm rant this morning, there are a couple of things to point out. What about the drone strikes that Obama was doing? Right. I mean back in the day, right. I mean, so you had that. They were fine. They, the Democrats didn't say a word about that. They were fine with that. What about terrorism on January 6th? Right. Democrats say January 6th was terrorism, domestic terrorism. Oh, but can we talk about the 2020 riots? Can we talk about antifa. Can we, I mean we just go down the list. The summer of wildfires. And I say wild as in they were wild, not wildfires. And so you know, you just go on and on and they just cherry pick every single thing. I mean it even makes me think about, I'm going down the abortion angle here. But they always talk about protecting the least of these. You know, Jesus wanted us to protect the least of these. Okay, well the least of these, the last time I checked was a fetus that cannot def. Defend itself. A baby that cannot defend itself. I shouldn't say fetus, but you know what I'm saying. So I mean, you know, but they of course are okay with the pro abortion policies they put into place. So hypocrisy and the Democrats go hand in hand and you know, it's really a shame, but it's something we come to expect.

Jake.

Jake Novak
Yeah. And let me say something very clearly. When the Democrats, whenever, you know, it doesn't happen that often, but when the Democrats espouse a policy or push a policy that I support, I'm the happiest guy in town and I'm really excited about it. I remember years ago, you remember early in the first Obama administration, he approved the surge in Afghanistan. I couldn't go on enough about how happy I was about that. When they do a policy, when they enact a policy I like, I'm all for it. Now you have a situation where if the Republicans do something that the Democrats even supported strongly just a day ago, they're against it. Now again, just like the two tier justice system that I was railing against at the top of this program, that's another sign that your society is falling apart. If you have a group that only that doesn't believe in right and wrong, it just believes in what we do is right and what you do is wrong, that's the end of society. That's a society destroy themselves.
- [48:12]
David Brody
Let's also remember, that was a clip from 1989 of Joe Biden. That would not have been a clip of Joe Biden in 2021. And that says a lot about where he and the party has, has gone. You know, he embraced the far left, and this is what they get. They get two terms of President Trump a lot because of their policies.
- [48:30]
Jake Novak
Yep. All right, American Sunrise, a big show coming up. I'll see you on Monday.
