Ahead of an American Sunrise Early Edition. Knock, knock. Who's there? It's the FBI and it wants to talk to the six Democrats who made that military sedition video last week, who paid for the video, who wrote the script, and other questions like that are likely to be asked. The FBI doesn't ask them. I've been asking them for days. Ukraine says it accepts the U.S. created terms of a deal to end the war with Russia. But now it's not clear if Russia is on board. Wait a minute. Didn't the mainstream media say the Russians basically dictated the deal terms to President Trump? Does this mean the mainstream media isn't always truthful? What? As the Christmas shopping season is set to kick off for real, a number of key retailers are now predicting a merry Christmas. Indeed. And it's not just Walmart this time. General Motors is giving us more clarification on just where that 450 or 550 million dollars is going in America. No surprise, it's going to make more gas powered cars and trucks just like the consumers want. What a concept. And New York Mayor elect Zoran Mamdani keeps appointing infamous opponents of the police to his top staff positions. This isn't going to work out well, is it? American Sunrise EARLY EDITION begins now.

Jake Novak
Hi, I'm Jake Novak. Welcome to this Wednesday last day before Thanksgiving here on American Sunrise EARLY edition. Thank you so much not only for joining us this morning, but all year long. By the way, we're getting close to our one year anniversary of the launch of this program. We'll have a special anniversary show. There'll be tuxedos, there'll be dance numbers and there will be some surprise guest stars. I don't know if any that's going to happen, although I am trying to get Donny and Marie. So we're trying our best. What would an anniversary show be without the two of them. But in all seriousness, we do have a new development in what I've considered to be the top story for the last several days in the United States. Something that I know a lot of people have been paying attention to. But I don't know if enough people are putting enough emphasis on the severity of the story. Of course I'm talking about that video that six Democrats, most notably Senator Mark Kelly and Senator Elise Slotkin, put out, sowing the seeds of discord, disunity, confusion, mutiny in our armed forces, our active duty armed forces. And now we have an interesting development in the story because of course we now just finding out that the FBI is going to be questioning these folks. Now some of you might be sitting back and thinking, well, what's the question? We saw the video. Everything's out in the open. No, it's not. Look, folks, I want to know who wrote the script for that video. There's only two possibilities. Either it's someone who was working in the offices of those senators or congresspeople, which means that you and I paid for it on our dime, or it was somebody from an ngo, non government organization, some anti American PAC or some organization like that that was likely funded by a foreign country that's also a scandal. Both are scandalous. But I want to know who. I want to know who wrote the script, I want to know who paid for the production. I know, I understand it wasn't a big Hollywood production costing millions of dollars, but it was a pretty well produced video. Somebody used equipment and took their time. They may have farmed it out to some political consulting firm that did it for them, I don't know. But we have to find out. That's what the FBI needs to find out. And I promise you that if they get honest answers to some of those questions, it's going to get worse for the people involved in this video. Now again, I don't know exactly whether this will lead to people getting prosecuted, people getting convicted of treason or sedition, but yes, they should be. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely they should be. I said it three times. They should be accused of this at least, and it should be something that they look into. Let's take a look at this from a legal standpoint. From the Lawfare Project, I have Gerard Felitti. Gerard, let's start with the possible court martial for Senator and Captain Mark Kelly. I don't know how far this is going to go, but I don't think that this is a bad idea to look into this because of what I just said. It's about discovery for me, Gerard. I'd like to know who paid for this video. I'd like to know who wrote the script. And maybe the only way to really find that out is to start a process of indictment.
- [08:07]
Gerard Felitti
Well, I think you do need to investigate this. You do need to know who paid for this, who supported it, and who else is involved. At the end of the day, this is a problem because it is bad for the military. This is a group of members of Congress who are treating soldiers and sailors like incompetent buffoons who don't understand the law. And when they're substituting their judgment for that of their commanding officers and military lawyers, for that matter, who are there to explain what lawful and unlawful orders are, they're creating a substantial risk of disorder in the military. And that's not what we need. So there needs to be an investigation. We need to see how this came about, who else is involved and who's paying for this messaging. And we basically want to make it clear that this is unacceptable and needs to stop.
- [08:50]
Jake Novak
Yeah. Beyond just the legal stuff, I would urge any member of the military who was kicked out of the military for not getting the COVID vaccine to walk up to Elise Slotkin's office or Mark Kelly's office and say, hey, I disobeyed an illegal order. Will you help me now? Can you, can you get me back into the military? Can get me on my back pay? Can you do all those things for me? Let's see how far they get with that. And of course they won't get anywhere. And that will end any illusion that these people are on the side of any military, a member of the military who was questioning an all lawful order. Gerard, let's go to another situation that happened just the last couple of days. We had the indictments thrown out against Tish James and James Comey, all because of Lindsey Halligan not being apparently again, this is according to one judge appointed to the U.S. attorney position properly. But this isn't the end of the story, is it, Gerard?
- [09:40]
Gerard Felitti
It's not the end of the story. And this is almost certainly likely to be appealed. The issue though is that the judge does have some good grounds for seeing this. What black letter law is, what process has been is that a U.S. attorney is appointed for 120 days and within that time period the Senate has to confirm or not confirm them. In this case, because the 120 day period passed, it would have been up to a district court judge to appoint the Acting U.S. attorney in the Eastern District not, not President Trump. So ultimately, I think there is a legal basis for this decision, but it does need clarification. It can be appealed. And if the appeal is successful, then the indictments come back. Unfortunately, if the appeal is unsuccessful, then Comey, the statute of limitations ran and he will not be held accountable to for his actions.
- [10:26]
Jake Novak
You know, Gerard, I wonder if you'll just indulge me for just a minute because I like to recommend books on this program, especially when they're short. I recommend a lot of long books. Sorry about that. But I have a short one to recommend, and it's called Leak by a guy named Max Holland who is an expert on the history of the FBI. And he really gets into the truth about what really happened in Watergate. And when I read that book, it was the early days of the first Trump presidency. And I just couldn't believe how the FBI and the leadership of the FBI hasn't changed, or at least at that point hadn't changed a bit. The entire reason why the American public learned about what happened at Watergate was because of a jealous, upwardly mobile and spiteful number two man at the FBI named Mark Felt, who went by the name of Deep Throat during that whole period, who was angry that he wasn't made the director of the FBI. And so he leaked out all this information about Nixon and Watergate, hoping that the President would say, see it, think that the real head of the FBI was responsible, fire him and put Mark Felt at the head. If that sounds like a twisted tale, then you don't know your FBI. James Comey is just another guy like that who decided what information got out, what didn't get out. And it was all about improving and advancing himself. And there's nothing that's changed. Now. As a lawyer, what are the basically, what are the legal powers that a President might have against a bureaucrat within his own executive branch who does stuff like this? It feels like they're almost powerless. When you have a power hungry person like this who has so much information at his or her fingertips, I think.
- [12:00]
Gerard Felitti
At the end of the day, you've identified the actual problem and whatever, whether we want to call it a deep state or ingrained failures within these department, the President needs to clean house. Comey was investigated five years ago. That investigation was killed by the Biden administration. And that administration was killed it because it has loyalists within the Department of Justice who don't want to do anything other than follow the left wing party line. That's the real danger here. This prosecution was rushed at the last minute, because the Department of Justice is loyal. It's infiltrated to the point that it does not equally enforce the law. And that is the essential problem here. The president needs to clean house. Cash Patel needs to clean house. Pam Bondi needs to clean house and get rid of the people in there that are preventing justice from happening and instead weaponizing the legal system and as they did against President Trump. So they need massive personnel changes. There need to be consequences for people who leak, for people who don't follow orders, or for people who sabotage investigations that are proper in order to score political points with their political masters in the White House under other administrations.
- [13:05]
Jake Novak
Yeah. And I think one of the things that just really makes me nauseous, and this is true of people who I might agree with politically also, these career politicians or career bureaucrats who somehow get lionized by the public if they're the opponents or the enemies of someone that they don't like. I mean, James Comey, the same person that the liberals and the Democrats were going nuts about in October of 2016 when he made his famous press conference about the Hillary Clinton emails, and they were just blaming him for Hillary's loss. Suddenly now, oh, he's a. He's a Boy Scout. He's the greatest guy ever. I mean, honestly, folks, these people. Please stop calling them public servants. They're not public servants. They want you to be their servants. And I just think people need to understand that. I want to bring my last question now to the issue of New York City, because Zoran Mamdani, the mayor elect, keeps appointing people who are clearly interested in dismantling the police department. Now, I could make this next question about political theory. We could talk about Thomas Hobbes. We could talk about all the great political theorists of the 16th and 17th century and talk about how leaders who put their own people at danger lose their legitimacy as leaders. But from a legal standpoint, if a neighborhood or a community suddenly stops getting some of the basic protections that they pay for with their taxes or they expect in the social contract with their government, what legal avenues do they have? I mean, if the cops stop walking the beat or stop patrolling my neighborhood, can I sue New York City for endangerment of my life?
- [14:34]
Gerard Felitti
Unfortunately, you are not likely to succeed unless you are a member of a minority group that has protections under the law, and you're making an argument that it's a civil rights violation, that he is targeting your group for exclusion or for differential treatment. At the end of the day, and this is the really sad part it's nearly impossible to sue a government, whether it's the police, the city, the state or the federal government to do its job. That's the political question. So if he defers policing, if there's no cops on the beat, if your garbage isn't being picked up, that's all appropriate political action. And that's why it's so important who we vote for. On the other hand, if you can prove that animus, and maybe with Mamdani, you can look at the people he's surrounding himself with, people who hate all sorts of minority groups, whether it's Jews or Asian Americans or even African Americans in some cases. When you are surrounding yourself with people who blatantly hate other minority groups and then you cut policing, that is gut for action.
- [15:32]
Jake Novak
Well, I'm just hoping that the pba. Listen, I did local news in New York for years. The PBA, back when I was doing it in the late 90s, the Police Benevolent association, the big police union, they were on TV every day complaining about something and that's when Giuliani was mayor. Where are you guys? Because you guys need to be ready to go because we're in serious trouble if the police are dismantled in the way that this guy apparently is going to do it. Gerard Felitty from the Lawfare Project, thank you so much for joining us. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I'm Rodney Williams. And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break. Let's be honest. Building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger. And that's exactly why we created the wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins. We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories. And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same. So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place. Listen to the Wealth Brave podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

That's a live look from the torch looking down at the rest of the Statue of Liberty there. That is such a great shot unless you have vertigo and you have some problems with it. The great Statue of Liberty. A lot of people give up when they're walking up the steps of the statue. It's so many steps, but I think it's a great workout. It's worth it. You don't get to walk all the way onto the torch anymore. I don't think that's been true for 60 or 70 years. A little dangerous and a little bit difficult to keep the structure in sound condition. When people were doing that, there was a commercial somebody did in 1976 with a kid walking on there, but other than that you can only go to the crown. But it's worth it. It's really amazing. Hey, welcome back to American Sunrise, EARLY EDITION on this Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving Eve, whatever you want to call it. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for joining us on all the platforms where you can watch the show live and simultaneously comment live. Just like we were having a real conversation in the old days when people talk to each other. It's really nice. So I appreciate all of you who are doing that. Afton Ben. Now that's a real name. It's not Afton Ben. Sounds like, like something you rub on your face after you shave, something like that. But anyway, that's her name and she is the Democrat nominee in next week's. Yes, there's a, there's a special election next week to fill a House spot from the state of Tennessee. Now, that district that she's running in includes the city of Nashville, lovely city, by the way, but this is how Afton feels about Nashville. Check it out.

Emily Finn
I've been heavily involved with the Nashville mayoral race because I hate the city. I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music.
- [23:17]
Jake Novak
I hate all of the things that.
- [23:19]
Emily Finn
Make Nashville apparently in its city to the rest of the country, but I hate it. Yeah, I'm that girl at the airport that all these bachelorettes are giddy walking out in their two toned colored pantone pink shirts. And they walk out and I'm like, oh, my God.
- [23:33]
Jake Novak
National for Beltwire. It's so loud. All right. Joining us now is Emily Finn. Emily, you sent me another video. But wait, there's more. Afton isn't just a hater of the people she's trying to represent. She's also not all there. Check this out. This is from just a couple of years ago when Afton decided to make a reasoned and strong argument against Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee. Check this out. She just needed to say something to us. Are you okay?
- [24:12]
Emily Finn
Sorry, that was completely unnecessary.
- [24:19]

Jake Novak
But you know what, Emily? I wanted to run this by you. I actually don't know if this is going to hurt her. Who I want to know who is going to be taking off work in the beginning of the Christmas season to go vote in a special election this coming Tuesday in the first week in December. This is the kind of person they might vote for, the kind of crazy people who have time on their hands to vote on a day like that. I'm actually not sure this is going to hurt her. I wish it did, but I'm not sure.
- [24:48]
Emily Finn
If this woman does truly still win, then I have absolutely zero faith of the voters in the Nashville area. I mean, this is one of the craziest political things campaigns I have ever seen in my entire life. And she's trying to double down. There was a video out, and she's trying to say, like, oh, it's okay. I didn't really mean it, that I hate Nashville. It's like, no, read that back. Read back the script. Because you doubled down so many times about how much you hated this city. And I think the only reason she hates it is because she's not getting invited to the bachelorette parties. If she's screaming and yelling and being erratic like that.
- [25:20]
Jake Novak
Wow.
- [25:21]
Emily Finn
I am really concerned for Nashville. I hope that everyone in that area gets out and votes for Van Epps, that he is the only hope to be able to save that city from someone who literally hates them. She would be working from within to try to tear them apart.
- [25:36]
Jason Dussaud
Yeah.
- [25:37]
Jake Novak
But, you know, it just. It's again. And if she wins, it'll be another example of what I often call Democrat voter suppression. You know, when they have these special elections or primaries, which is a real big problem in the cities, the primary elections on a weekday like Tuesday, people aren't aware of it. It's absolutely. Who gets to vote? The crazies and the unions, the municipal unions who not only get the day off to vote, it's a holiday for them, but they're often paid on the side to go and get out the vote and get out the other crazies. Now it's a red state. I don't know why this election was slated for that time. I have no idea whether there's been enough publicity for it. The only publicity I'm seeing is making fun of this woman. And all the crazies who have free time next Tuesday may actually be triggered. I think I'll vote for that woman, that she's just like me. This is. Again, this is voter suppression. More evidence, Emily, that we should be having our elections on national holidays and make it a national holiday so that everyone can vote, not just the human car alarms like Afton. Ben.
- [26:38]
Emily Finn
I think we can all get on board with that. Jake, if this woman does truly make it to Congress, the one thing is, one thing is for sure, we're going to have a lot to talk about if she actually is a lawmaker in this country.
- [26:49]
Jake Novak
Wow.
- [26:50]
Emily Finn
Just a crazy story.
- [26:51]
Jake Novak
In the meantime, the next time I park in a dicey neighborhood. I'm going to put Afton Ben on the hood because she's got a very. She's really. That's a good alarm. She and Rosie Perez, quite the scream. Yeah. All right. Emily Finn, thank you so much for joining us. We'll see you in the 8 to 10am hour.

All right. Hey. It's the one time of year that Birch Gold Group gives away free gold. I'm opening my eyes. Why? Because Free Gold gets my attention. With every qualifying purchase, that's what you're going to get. That's right. For Black Friday, when you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in gold, birch Gold will send you free gold to your home for every $20,000 purchased. Look, hey. Gold started this year around $2,600 an ounce. By October, it was over $4,000 an ounce. It's still high over that number. Why? Because global uncertainty is rising. 2025 has been defined by trade wars. Central banks are pulling from the US Dollar as the global reserve currency and military tension continues to build. Gold thrives in times of uncertainty. And if you're looking to diversify your savings, Birch Gold can help you do it. Plus now through November 30th, get a free Gold. Get Free Gold with a qualifying purchase. Just text America. It's a 9898 98. To claim your eligibility for a free info kit on gold. But your opportunity for Free Gold ends with purchase on November 30th. So don't wait. Text America to the number 9,898 98. That's three times. For full details coming up. If you only watch and read the mainstream media, you've probably given up on Christmas or just about settled for that lousy tree that Charlie Brown bought in a Charlie Brown Christmas. Remember that little thing? But good grief, don't let those grinches win. I'm mixing my cartoon metaphors. I've got more of the real Christmas season picture for you just ahead.

Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business, we're bringing you their stories. And we're not stopping at success stories.

So we just had one of our viewers on the Getter chat say that it's snowing by her in Wisconsin. Can't get that shot up in time, but we do have snow on the ground in Stowe, Vermont. How about that? Obviously a lot of parts of the country starting to get some winter conditions. It's not. I know, I know. It's not officially winter until what, December 21, but some parts of the country you get snow on the ground pretty early. So there you have it in beautiful Stowe, Vermont. And I hope for the ski resorts up there especially that they get plenty of stone. Vermont, it's not always a done deal there with snow in Vermont. A lot of the ski resorts have had to close a lot of trails in recent years. So hopefully they'll have a good year. Let's take a look at where the markets are going to begin today, speaking of good years. And it's a lot of green there, very, very modestly green. But still over the last three trading days, Friday, Monday and Tuesday, we have had major, major rallies on the market, especially on the Dow for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that the markets looked at their selling in the early part of last week and said, you know, I think we went overboard. So there also you have continuing gains in gold very solidly above the $4,100 per ounce level. And look at crude oil now. Crude oil is right there at the $57 a barrel level. As I said the last few days, you got to look at the crude oil price and see where it's going to let us know whether we're getting peace for sure or not between Russia, Ukraine and it's pretty dead flat. We've only got a 6 cent move on oil. So what does that tell you? That tells you the traders don't know either. The last couple of days they were more confident about it, but they're holding right here. Now they're waiting and seeing and that's what you should do too. So if you have a politician or someone who pretends that they know what they're talking about on the news saying they know one way or the other about this peace deal, don't listen to them. Because the people with real skin in the game, millions and billions of dollars on the price of oil are telling you right now at that 3 cent number you see at the bottom of your screen that they don't know either. Let's take a look at bitcoin right now. Still struggling to get back to the $90,000 mark. And yeah, there it is, 86,000 still on sale. Still $40,000 below where it was at its all time high just a couple of months ago. So there you have it with bitcoin. All right, here's another reason why I'm so happy to talk about the markets this morning. And that's because of Google. As you know, one of my long term frustrations in news lately has been the story about how Nvidia, a great company, by the way, I got nothing against Nvidia as a company company. They make the chips that power some of the most intricate AI systems in the country. But Nvidia is a boring company to talk about and to show you on the screen because it just makes chips. There's really nothing exciting about it. At least I have Google getting into the mix now. The markets were actually very intrigued this week so far by the fact that Google is now making AI chips that are competing with Nvidia. And Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, says that they're likely to buy some more Google chips instead of Nvidia chips. So now I have a little bit of a sexy story. Now we've got real competition going. Google has a few more interesting pictures for me to show, and I'm a little bit happier. Thank you, thank you, thank you. That's my holiday gift. I just don't want to talk about Nvidia all the time. The fact that they're having big competition and Google's in it now and good old American ingenuity is at play, that makes me happy. Now, there are plenty of things to be concerned about in our economy, folks. As you know, I'm a huge, huge person talking all the time about how our housing situation isn't good enough in this country, and that's a huge part of our economy. But if you're going to be one of these people like in the mainstream media that every single day now for the last month have been leading with stories about how bad our economy is, at least be honest and talk about what you would have to consider, in your opinion to be the exceptions to the rule. Of course they're not going to do that, so I'm going to do it. We got yesterday a number of retail chains telling us that not only was their their July through September quarter good, but they're expecting the Christmas season, which is now underway, to be very, very good. They include Kohl's. Kohl's was supposed to lose money in the summer. They made money instead and their stock jumped big time. Yesterday, Best Buy, saying the same thing, made more money than people expected. And they're expecting a strong Christmas season. Abercrombie and Fitch, because they own Hollister. Now there's. There they are on the screen, said Hollister is making them big money and they're expecting that to continue through the Christmas season. And last week, Gap, which owns Banana Republic and Old Navy in addition to Gap, said the same thing. Again, not saying that we have an A plus economy going on here right now, but if these retail chains are doing well, then there's a lot of Good things going on in the economy. Also, if you're going to report about the economy, you've got to give people the full picture. I'm trying to do that for you here. You know, I complain and worry about the housing costs and mortgage rates on this, on this show. I'm not all perfume and roses about the economy either. But I'm going to tell you the truth about some of the good things. And these retail chain numbers yesterday were very interesting. Better than even I expected. Now, of course, after tomorrow, the official Christmas shopping season begins. And I just want to make this clear before we get into the Thanksgiving holiday and everything else like that, between the end of Thanksgiving and Christmas Day on this program, I'm going to be paying even more attention to how everyone is shopping and, and how the economy is going. But before I do that, I just want to give this disclaimer. Of course I know and you know that Christmas and this time of year and all the holidays and New Year's not all about shopping and money. Okay, I get it. It's one of the reasons why I think It's a Wonderful Life is the quintessential American movie because and not giving anything away at the end of the day, it lets everyone know that it's not all about money. It's about friendship, it's about community, it's about religion and belief and all that kind of stuff. So I am certainly not all about money, folks. I do a business segment on this program because that's a big part of our lives. But at the end of the day, I know it's more than that. So anyone going to be watching this program, and I hope you do, between now and the end of the year. Don't, don't come at me with the materialistic stuff. I'm just trying to give you a picture of the economy. Don't worry. I have my priorities straight. All right. One of my other priorities is cars and trucks. So, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. This is moving america. Sponsored by artillerytea company. Artilleryteaco.com use promo code rav for 10% off your order. Artillerytea is all natural.

On Monday, I told you about the 550 or so million dollars GM was investing in some of its supply chain factories like the metal sheet factory in Parma. Well, now we know exactly where those investments are ultimately going to go. They're going to go for more gas powered cars and trucks, specifically the Chevy Silverado, the GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalades. Thank you very much, GM for listening to your customers and not Biden administration officials who told you to go all electric and we're basically going to kill your company. That's what's going on right now. Now, yesterday I also told you about the $13,000. That wasn't a typo. $13,000 annual average insurance costs for young men in Toronto, Canada who are between the ages of 18 and 26. That's the average what they're paying just for car insurance. My goodness. Well, this is coming to the United States. It's already getting close to that for some young men in big cities. And this is another reason why self driving cars are going to get more and more popular in this country whether you like it or not. Because here's what's going to happen. Whether you like it or not, self driving cars are still safer than humans. They really are. I'm not saying I love them. I do absolutely want them to be available, especially for disabled people in America who were promised by their local governments that they would have rides whenever they need them and they never come. And self driving cars have unchained disabled people who have been chained in their homes for years, metaphorically, anyway, that's another story. But what's gonna happen real soon, folks, and this is my prediction, insurance companies are gonna come to people and say your premium's gonna be this if you're not in a self driving car, but your premium is going to be a lot lower if you do drive a self driving car. And that's going to be a real rubber hits the road moment for a lot of people. And they will choose to say, okay, I'll go with the self driving car because I can't afford $13,000 a year just in car insurance. This is my prediction. I'm not really coming down hard one way or the other on the insurance companies, whether they're going to do this, but I want everyone to remember about that. Okay, coming up, Thanksgiving is a capitalist holiday, folks. I'm going to explain why with our next guest when American Sunrise early edition comes. Right.

It's Wednesday, November 26th. Here are this morning's top stories. Knock knock. Who's there? It's the FBI and it wants to talk to the six Democrats who made that military sedition video last week. Who paid for the video? Who wrote the script? And other questions like that are likely to be asked. I've been asking them. Ukraine says it accepts the U.S. created terms of a deal to end the war with Russia, but now it's not clear if Russia is on board. But wait a minute. Didn't the mainstream media and the Democrats say that the Russians are the ones who dictated the terms to President Trump in the first place?

Place.

Doesn't that mean that the mainstream media isn't always truthful? The hell you say. As the Christmas shopping season is set to kick off for real, a number of key retailers are now predicting a merry Christmas. Indeed. And it's not just Walmart this time. And New York Mayor elect Zoran Mamdani keeps appointing infamous opponents of the police to his top staff positions. This isn't going to work out well, is it? American Sunrise EARLY EDITION continues now. Hi, I'm Jake Novak. Welcome back to American SUNRISE EARLY edition this Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Thank you for carving out a little bit of time before you carve out your turkey. See how I did there? See what I did there? To join us this morning, joining us right now is a friend of this program, Intellistic CEO Jason Dussaud. And Jason, first of all, we're happy you're here in the US and not that foreign country of Canada for Thanksgiving because let's face it, Canadian Thanksgiving is lame. They do it in October. It's like it's nothing. It's nothing. How could you blow a holiday like Thanksgiving? And we'll talk about that in just a second.

Jake Novak
But listen, I complain a lot on this program about how much I feel forced by the news media to talk about the news. Not really the news media. I don't really listen to the rest of the media. But how I feel much forced by the actual news in the markets, How I feel forced to talk about Nvidia. I just complained about it in the last segment. It's a great company. I got nothing against it, but it's so boring to talk about. But I got something sexy now. At least Google is challenging Nvidia and the markets really took notice of this. Are we finally getting in the AI space some real competition instead of just one stock dominating the whole market? That that's never healthy, is it, Jason?
- [50:12]
Jason Dussaud
Well, absolutely. I mean, competition is important. And to be able to see these super scalers move from customers and to become competitors and suppliers is obviously fantastic for the market. It's going to lead to Lower cost, faster innovation, and of course, access to AI Compute. In my opinion, AI compute is the new oil and as many competitors you can get in there, the better. Nvidia was the big boy in the first wave, but there's a lot of other players that are entering, including Google, Meta, intel and a number of other smaller innovation companies that are coming out.
- [50:51]
Jake Novak
That's right. I mean, listen, I always use, of course, the definitive source and the most knowledgeable source about what's going to happen with AI. And that of course are the original two Terminator movies. And as we know, Skynet had no competition. And if only Skynet had had some competition, maybe there would have been a nice Terminator who would have come in and like, you know, taken out your garbage and done your yard work or something. I don't know. Skynet just needed some competition and that would have been wonderful. All kidding aside, Jason, the mainstream media is not funny, does not make you feel good to watch their programs. And by the way, the mainstream media that keeps bashing the economy and telling everyone that you're going to go broke and you have no money, has anyone actually told the people who are doing those programs that they have advertisers and then after they say that, doom and gloom, an advertisement comes on asking people to spend their money. Has anyone sort of figured out the disconnect there? Hey, you're going to go broke and you have no money and now buy this car? I mean, I don't understand how that works. No wonder these big stations aren't working. Look, you and I have talked about this. You're barely giving the economy right now a passing grade. And I absolutely understand that. I'm a little bit slightly more optimistic than you are. But we both agree that it's passing, it's doing okay. And yesterday we got this news from Kohl's, from Dick's Sports, from Abercrombie and Fitch, via Hollister, a few other Best Buy, that they're doing great and they're expecting great sales. Now, again, that doesn't mean everything is rosy. But don't you have to include the good news with the bad? I mean, come on.
- [52:18]
Jason Dussaud
Yeah, absolutely. The economy is always changing and this current administration inherited a lot of issues. Inflation is sticky because of structural agricultural issues. We have decades of underinvestment in energy, shipping and domestic manufacturing. All three of these pain points the current administration is focusing on. We need to give them a little bit more time. But it is improving. I mean, the inflation numbers in the US have stayed sticky, but below the average around the world. And you never know, we might be getting a $2,000 check in our pockets in the new year to help us out through this process as well.
- [52:59]
Jake Novak
That's right. You're talking about the tariff rebate that President Trump is hoping to send to American taxpayers. But just one second here, Jason. I want to recreate a phone call that's going on right now at Warner Brothers Discovery with David Zaslav and GM. Hello, Mr. Zaslav, this is GM. I don't think we're going to be paying for any more commercials on cnn. Why is that? You just told all the viewers they can't afford our products. Oh, I mean, really, these people are, I mean, you just, that should be an absolute prize for the morons who decide to do this. Do they not know they have advertisers? I just don't get it. All right, Jason, let's talk bitcoin right now. Because the bitcoin price, I show it every day on this program, we're about 40 grand below that all time high. Is this, you know, again, I feel like this is, it's already been, this has happened a couple of times. We've had these ups and downs. Is this a buy the dip moment for bitcoin?
- [53:55]
Jason Dussaud
Well, I'm never going to give anyone investment advice. I personally believe in bitcoin. I'm a long term investor. Bitcoin is one of those very interesting, I call it a commodity, interesting commodities in the way that it's new and there's a lot of haters out there and it is going to disrupt the central banking system. And because of that, you've got, you know, there's a rumor that's been going around in the, in the bitcoin community talking about Jamie Dimon and JP Morgan and a lot of bitcoin supporters actually closing their Chase accounts. So, you know, again, there's so much fear that's been built into bitcoin of, you know, is this real? And you know, obviously it is now you're getting the institutional support, you're getting the banks, you're getting large companies using it as strategic investment. It's a much different store of value than it's ever been before. And also if you follow charts and you can go into YouTube and just put in bitcoin charts, you'll see that it does exactly this before it hits new all time highs. So bitcoin's here to stay. It's here forever. The central banks are going to have to get used to it. People are interested in actually Owning their own money and the future is decentralized. So again, I'm a very long term supporter of bitcoin and currently I believe that you should always be buying bitcoins, but certainly today you're getting it at a discount.
- [55:29]
Jake Novak
Yeah, I'm really glad you put it in those terms because whenever bitcoin has a dip like this, I get comments from people saying, I told you it was all phony and it's not worth anything and it's going to go away. And I just say, listen, it may take a long time to recover. Maybe it won't even hit that high again, but it's not going away. Stop with this nonsense. I mean, I heard this during the Internet boom too, the dot com boom. Oh, no one's going to be using the Internet. It's going to be the CB radio of the 90s. I mean, come on. It's not going away. The value of it is inherent. People get it. Again, doesn't mean you have to bid it up to $150,000 or a million bucks. That's, that's, that's a great debate to have. And that's what makes markets. You need bulls and bears for a market to work, but you don't need bulls, bears and doomsayers who say it's all going to end. If you believe in the doomsayers, then just, you know, just go get a safe room and sit there. Honestly, that's what you need. Lastly, Jason, I want to take go back to Thanksgiving just for a second, because this is an important message that I think, I hope everyone shares it, which is why I've been saying it for the last two days on this program, this is day two. Thanksgiving is an incredibly important capitalist holiday. Yes, it is a day of thanks. But if you know your history, the pilgrims, the first year that they got here to the what it became the United States, got here to America, got to North America. They lived in a collectivist farm. Everyone just was. There was no personal property. That's why they almost starved. Not because they couldn't figure out how to do farming. It's not like Europe is great for farming. All the time they knew of hardship, they knew of cold weather, they knew about all that kind of stuff. It's not like it's. What do they think? They didn't come from Florida. They came from. They came from Britain. Okay? It's not. In case you didn't know, the weather isn't always great over there. Okay? They knew that. Okay, but, but after that, they gave everyone their own parcel of land that they owned and were responsible for and suddenly they had a surplus. JASON capitalism, since even before the time of the pilgrims, has been the greatest anti starvation program in the history of the world. That's why we're making progress with getting people fed in this world. I hope everyone remembers that. Any thoughts on that?
- [57:32]
Jason Dussaud
You know, yeah, there are some thoughts and I'm very disappointed because I was hoping to surprise you this morning with that story.
- [57:39]
Jake Novak
Oh, I gotcha.
- [57:41]
Jason Dussaud
You're exactly right. Thanksgiving is a capitalist holiday. And you know, the most obvious, of course, is Black Friday. But maybe a less obvious story, which you just did very well describing, is that you're exactly right. In fact, the pilgrims almost starved year one because of community farming and through private ownership and families farming for themselves. It was very early example how self responsibility and ownership creates and drives prosperity. So, you know, but Thanksgiving, of course, isn't always, isn't just about economics. It's about getting together with your family, it's about supporting your community and most importantly, feeling grateful. You know, we all have something to feel grateful for in some positions like myself. I have so much to be grateful for and I'm very grateful to be in the US this week and sharing a meal and time and watching some football with my family and my parents and my brother. And so, yeah, it's a very important holiday and as you said, a very capitalist holiday.
- [58:55]
Jake Novak
That's right. And the best thing is that capitalism taught the pilgrims that they had to get rid of those belt buckles on their hats. I'm so glad that that changed. JASON DE so thank you so much for joining us and have a very happy Thursday Thanksgiving.
- [59:06]
Jason Dussaud
Happy Thanksgiving, Jake. Thank you.

Hey. An organic skincare brand called Puriance has been turning heads recently in Elle, Cosmopolitan and LA Weekly magazines today. And so far to date, they've helped over 60,000 women to fall in love with their skin complexion. Again, that's a lot of women. Puriance delivers clean, organic skin care without harsh preservatives. Their cellular Restore serum features a gentle alternative to retinol. It's called Bakuchiol. In a small focus group, 92.9% of women saw fewer wrinkles after just three weeks of applying cellular restore serum.

I'm Rodney Williams. And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break. Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger. And that's exactly why we created the Wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles, and real wins. We're here to talk about the journey. You'll hear from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business. We're bringing you their stories and we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same. So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place. Listen to the Wealthbreak podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

That's a look at Chicago, Illinois. You can see the traffic getting started there. That's Lakeshore Drive, or LSD as some people call it. Don't drive on that drive while you're on lsd, please. Although, believe me, I've had a number of people driving near me on the Lakeshore Drive who appear to be on lsd. Beautiful day there. And the Chicago has got that unique situation where the best beach in town is, right? Kind of like on the Fifth Avenue of Chicago. It's an interesting setup there for the five and a half minutes of the summer when it's warm enough to go swimming. No, just kidding. They have warm sun. Welcome back. Hey, folks. When I first saw that video made by the Democrats Seditious Six trying to get discord and confusion going in the military, it reminded me of something. It took me a few days to remember what it was reminding me of. But then it came to me, and here it is, courtesy of the great director David Lean and the classic Alec Guinness. Check this out. I was ordered by the Party to enlist. I gave my name as Petrarch. They were shouting for victory all over Europe, praying for victory to the same God. My task, the Party's task, was to organize defeat. From defeat would spring the revolution, and the revolution would be victory for us. The Party looked to the consulate, most of them wearing their first good pair of boots. When the boots wore out, they'd be ready to listen. When the time came, I was able to take three battalions with me out of the front line. The best day's work I ever did. Of course, that's the great Dr. Zhivago. One of the greatest movies of all time. Comrade David Brody. This is exactly the Bolshevik playbook. Infiltrate the military, make them confused, use their confusion and maybe their. Maybe their dissatisfaction with something going on in their life to sow the seeds of discord. This is an old playbook and I love remembering that from that movie because that's exactly what the Bolsheviks did. That's how they took over the Soviet Union and that's how became the Soviet Union. And that's how Communism was really born throughout the world. And the hundreds of millions of dead Stemmed from that tactic. That's why this is no joke. What's going on here with these six Democrats. Great point.
