Ahead on American Sunrise Early Edition. For the 13th time, Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats vote to keep the government shutdown going, even as the people getting hurt the most, their own voters blame the Democrats alone for the looming chaos. Is it time to kick it up a notch on illegal immigration? A reported dispute has developed between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan. Right now it looks like the more aggressive approach Noem wants to take is winning out. Another day, another video surfaces of Zoran Mamdani smearing the nypd. And whom does he blame for the cops oppressing the people? Why Israel, of course. So now I know where to complain about that speeding ticket. Speaking of Israel, the real one, not the imaginary one, Hamas attacked the IDF in Gaza yesterday and Israel struck back. But so far the ceasefire deal seems to be holding and Hurricane Melissa is now over Cuba, going to the Bahamas and Bermuda as well after its landfall will go down in the record books over Jamaica as one of the strongest storms ever in the Atlantic Basin. Damage assessments are underway and they're not pretty. American Sunrise Early Edition welcome to American.

American Sunrise EARLY EDITION with your host Jake Novak starts now.
Jake Novak
Hi, good morning, everyone. This is a Wednesday. I'm Jake Novak. It's American Sunrise EARLY edition. Thank you so much for joining us. Again, a lot of news going on overnight. President Trump right now, by the way, already in South Korea getting ready for that big meeting with President Xi of China, which will be tomorrow our time. But it's already getting close to today for there, of course, like 14 hours ahead of us or something like that. So they're already in the evening over there. And so much to talk about now again, it's day 29 of the government shutdown. So much to talk about there as well. And again now, six days, just six days away from the big elections in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City. Let's get a handle on at least some of that stuff. Joining us now is editor Daily Signal Senior editor Tyler o'. Neill. And Tyler, the shutdown drags on again. It's day 29 and we're hearing more and more about how this is now really. You know, we started calling it the Schumer shutdown and that's what we have in that graphic. We started calling it that from the beginning, but now it really is, according to many more reports from all sides, it really is the Schumer shutdown. Apparently, John Thune says he's talked to some other senators on the Democrat side. They're willing to get this thing stopped. The biggest government, federal government union, has asked the Democrats and the Democrats alone to end it. Now, the pilots union, these are all mostly Democrat leaning groups. Tyler, this is really Chuck Schumer's thing and thing alone. What's going on here.
Tyler O'Neill
Yeah, this really is the Democrat. The Democrats have owned this essentially from the beginning. I think what you see the American Federation of Government Employees doing here is acknowledging that, yes, Republicans have supported a clean CR repeatedly over and over and over again. And all that Democrats have done is say, hey, look, we want our provisions stripped out of the one big beautiful bill that President Trump just recently signed earlier this year. They want to make it easier. I mean, if you actually look at the provisions, it does make it easier for illegal aliens to obtain health care. And this is a talking point. You know, it's it's not just a talking point among Republicans. If you look at the actual legislation of the bill, that's what it does. And so they're fighting over this. They're, they're falling on their sword over this. And you're seeing essentially what began as tragedy now entering the territory of farce, where you have Republican senators coming up with pieces of legislation to keep snap, you know, the food stamps program going. And this is the kind of thing like, I think we need serious reforms in food stamps to, to wean people off of this government assistance. But if, if the Democrats want to continue to shut down the government over this program, and Republicans are the ones who are fighting to find any way to fund one thing or another or another. I mean, this really is an albatross around the neck of Democrats and they have to rethink their strategy on this.
Jake Novak
Yeah. I mean, for Republicans to go out and say, hey, we're keeping the food stamps going, we're fighting for them. I mean, talk about stealing a Democrat issue. The Democrats not stealing it, the Democrats are giving it to them. And it's just this is now. There are so many issues. And Tyler, you and I have talked about this for months. There are so many issues where both of us have said, why is this the Hill the Democrats are willing to die on? Why are they willing to die on the Hill of illegal aliens who have committed violent acts and beaten their wives? Why are they willing to die on the Hill of boys in the girls locker room? Why are they willing to die on the Hill of extending massive, massive health care subsidies that were added during COVID and shutting down the government and sacrificing things like food stamps and air traffic control over this, which affects many, many more people and is really a much more important thing. I can only think it's about money. Mike Johnson is blaming the uber radicalization of the Democrat Party, Chuck Schumer apparently following that market Marxist wings. But this goes beyond that. Someone is giving these people money to support these ruinous policies. But there is some debate going on within the Republican, within the Trump administration as well, about another issue getting back to illegal immigration. Many reports say that Kristi Noem, who is the head of Homeland Security, the Secretary of Homeland Security, wants to now put the focus on every single illegal alien who is in this country, whether they are also additionally violent or, or dangerous or not, where Tom Holman still wants to focus on those people first, really put almost all their efforts into that. And from every report, Noem is winning out on this. And Tyler, I have to think this has something to do with a very reliable poll put out by my friend Scott Rasmussen about 10 days ago that showed by a 58 to 32% margin, a huge margin, most Americans want every single legal alien in this country deported. And they're okay with that. I think that this may. That may have been the catalyst for ramping this all up.
Tyler O'Neill
Yeah, I think this also, you know, when you look at the administration's own goals, you know, coming out of the Biden administration, we had about 10 million illegal aliens enter this country in four years, and President Trump wants to deport as many as he can, hopefully the same number. But I know that the administration's benchmark has been pretty high, and they haven't been able to reach it yet with the policies that they have now, and they're facing extremely stiff resistance. Resistance. So, you know, this is. This is not a matter of them not having the strength or the intestinal fortitude to carry out the policy. This is all about what they're able to do at the time. And I think, you know, Kristi Noem's approach probably is right. I know Tom Holman is very strong and usually knows what to do to get the worst of the worst, and that's one of the reasons why he's. He's on his border czar and he's been doing a great job. But I think we need to ramp up the numbers. And of course, the administration's been talking about the self deportations, which is another aspect of this that we can't stress enough. When you create Alligator Alcatraz, when you send some of these people, the worst of the worst to some of these countries that nobody wants to be sent to, you send a message loud and clear that if you're here illegally, you should seriously consider deporting yourself. Because at the end of the day, all of those illegals that came under Biden, if we want them all to leave, many of them are gonna need to leave on their own.
Jake Novak
Yeah, it just. And also with, I think the elections coming up in six days, the understanding that there are millions of illegal aliens who've been brought in to basically move elections in one way or another is making people think like, hey, I don't care if they're also violent. They're taking over our government and being used against me. The taxpaying American citizen. Tyler. Congressman Jim Comer's oversight committee has basically declared the Biden auto pen pardons, clemencies, executive orders, their doordash bills. Okay, I'm joking about the Last one, they're declaring them all null and void. Look, I agree and I've railed on this program about it. In particular some of these egregious pardons and clemencies. Hint, hint, Republicans just talk about the Cash for Kids judge, which can't be defended by it and can only be explained by out now bribery. I would focus on that. But beyond that, Look, Tyler, this does feel a little bit like wishful thinking. This doesn't feel like it's going to go anywhere. I don't think that they can erase all the pardons. But I do like the focus on it. I think we should continue to focus on it and get to the bottom of it because if anyone took money for this, they can go to jail for a long time. And that would be, I think, very gratifying for me personally and hopefully for most of the country.
Tyler O'Neill
Well, I think it again draws attention to the way that President Biden was effectively a cipher. And we saw, you know, my book the Woke to Puss, the D money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government explains how the institutional left, the woke NGOs, staffed and advised his administration infiltrating and brainwashing the federal government to push WOKE ideology on the American people. And the fact that you had a president of the United States whose mental acuity was questioned enough that this is possible really draws a yet another underline under the fact that the left took advantage of the presidency, seized the administrative state and used it to their advantage. And one of the main reasons why President Trump launched DOGE is to get this WOKE ideology out of the federal government that's supposed to be serving the people. And this is a long term effort, as my book explains, that isn't going to be expunged in in just four years. And this is the kind of thing we have to continue to talk about because the same woke NGOs who called the shots during the Biden administration are waiting in the wings now and suing the Trump administration, trying to prevent his agenda.
Jake Novak
Finally, Tyler, you have a piece. Let's get back to the election and one in Virginia in particular because you have a piece out in the Daily Signal now about a paid for speaking about dark money, a paid for ploy by the Democrats or by the leftists to drag Winsome Sears, who's running for governor as a Republican nominee in Virginia, back to the House of Delegates to try to get her off the campaign trail. But you think this is going to backfire on them.
Tyler O'Neill
Yeah, The National Democratic Redistricting Commission sent it's 150 grand to both Abigail Spanberger and the House Democratic Caucus. One day before the Virginia Democrats announced a special session to push redistricting, which really looks like a quid pro quo. The interesting thing here is it is going to take winsome Earl Sears off the campaign trail in this final stretch, which seems really, really bad for her. At the same time, I spoke with former Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, and he said this is likely to backfire on the Democrats, mainly because if you look at what happened, I mean, this. So we're talking redistricting because Trump encouraged Republicans to take advantage of opportunities they might have. And then the Democrats started saying, oh, no, we have to pull out all the redistricting stops so that we increase the number of Democrats in the House so that we can fight Trump. Fight Trump. Fight Trump. But if you look in Virginia, Virginia just passed, I mean, the voters passed 66 to 33% constitutional amendment saying that redistricting should be bipartisan. And now Democrats, at the, you know, at the 11th hour in the middle of an election, remember our election started on September 19th. They're trying to get a redistricting plan passed, and they're trying to do this so it can be on the general ballot for the midterm elections. It's probably not going to make it there. As I noted, the election has already started in Virginia. Election Day is next Tuesday. But the election is live, which means that you don't have an intervening election, which according to the Virginia Constitution, you have to have the Congress, the legislature, pass a constitutional amendment before and after an intervening election, and then it goes to the voters, which means that if the Democrat special session right now ends up passing redistricting, it's going to have to wait for the 2027 elections in Virginia before it can go to the people in 2028. And let me tell you, Democrats don't want to have this redistricting push that goes against what 66% of Virginians voted for in 2020 up in an election year. I think this is going to really backfire on them, and I think it might backfire on them this coming Tuesday for $150,000.
Jake Novak
I mean, I mean, that's just. That's chump change. Incredible. But it does, it does seem like so many of our problems are coming down to money. And at the end of the day, so much of America and our politicians and our institutions really were for sale. Such a sad commentary. Tyler o', Neill, thank you so much for joining us. We'll check in with you again soon.
Tyler O'Neill
Thanks for having me.
Jake Novak
Coming up. Huddle up. Boomer Esiason Remember when you got the 911 families to bash President Trump for hosting a live golf event at Bedminster? Big deal. Maybe the actual jihadist about to become mayor of New York City is a bigger insult, maybe just a little to the victims of that Islamist terrorist attack. I'll jog your memories about that in a moment. And later. This is the week of the anniversary of the shooting attack at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. Why hasn't anti Semitism in America diminished since then? American Sunrise, early edition. We'll be right back.

It's a live look at the Statue of Liberty right there in New York Harbor. Started really feeling like November. Yes, it's still October, but It felt like November yesterday in New York, getting a little colder and crisper. But it's also a beautiful time of year and a very, very big time of year for tourism in New York City. The fall in New York. We have the New York City Marathon coming up, all that kind of stuff. So it is a high, high season for tourism in New York City. If you come in here, drop me a note, tell me and say hi. Welcome back to American Sunrise early edition. It's a Wednesday. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us, especially those of you on the get or the rumble chats commenting there, commenting on X or substack. I'm reading all of it. Thank you so much for that. Three years ago, President Trump's Bedminster golf course was the scene of a Lib Golf tournament. And yes, Lib Golf is a league that's mostly owned by the Saudi government, or at least the Saudi sovereign wealth fund and the pga because they were in competition with live at the time. They sort of still are. The Iranians who hate the Saudis and lots of anti Trumpers who hate Trump, of course, went nuts. And they even got somebody named Boomer Assiass and the former NFL MVP from the Cincinnati Bengals and a big, big sports radio star here in New York to get together with the 911 families and gut just go crazy over the event. How dare there be a partially funded program from the Liv Golf Group at Bedminster and he got the 911 families all riled up about it. To me, it was really a tremendous overreaction, especially since the money was coming from the pga. It was all a PGA psyop, an Iranian psyop. It wasn't really about anything else like that. But the 911 families were manipulated. Meanwhile, as Emily Finn joins us right now, I haven't heard a thing from Boomer Esiason, who was bashing Trump like crazy about the Saudis in a golf tournament, a one, you know, one weekend golf tournament. I haven't heard a thing from him or any of those other groups that manipulated the 911 families about the actual jihadist, Zoran Mamdani, who not only is a jihadist and his father works for Hamas, but is basically telling everyone that it's the Muslims in New York. They were the real victims, including his pretend aunt. This isn't only just about Zoram Hamdani, Emily. It's about people who decide that Trump and anything that he does is what you should be bashing. And that's how we get people like this. Our enemies See? Oh, you think that attacking Trump is worth cutting your nose off or destroying your own cities? They're happy to oblige us, Emily. They really are.
Emily Finn
That is exactly the game plan in their playbook, Jake. And it is so embarrassing of this Zoran guy. I mean, it was a blatant lie and everyone is calling him out on it, yet he still is getting traction in New York City, which I think is the most concerning thing. We need to do a mental health check on everyone in the Big Apple that they're actually supporting this person. But you're completely correct, Jake. And going back to this live golf thing, I mean, anyone who was outraged about this and about partial Saudi investment should really be taking a look at what is really important. Let's look at China and what they're doing with Confucius Institutes. I know this because I'm young and I was just in college. That's a serious threat with foreign dollars investing in the United States. I could go through countless examples with those kind of people all throughout the world that don't have the Americans best interests in mind. But just because the Saudis want to invest in a golf tournament that just so happens to be at Bedminster, people lose their minds over that. We really need to get our priorities straight, Jake.
Jake Novak
Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned China. And you know, speaking of sports, the NBA is completely in bed with China. So much so that they trotted out that idiot LeBron James six or seven years ago. Nobody asked him, but decided to come out and talk about how great it was that the Chinese government was suppressing the pro democracy movement in Hong Kong, which they did suppress successfully. Hong Kong has lost, by the way. So if you're gonna be upset about sports stuff, how about that? And the last thing I'll say is you're seeing all these articles, including from some right wing publications, saying, well, we can understand why Zoran Mamdani, we don't like him, but we can see why he's doing well. Because it's so expensive to live in New York and people are tired of that. Hello, it's been expensive to live in New York for decades and decades and decades. Really forever. This is, it's ridiculous to think that that is why he's winning. He's winning because he's tapping into a crazed anti Trump sentiment. A bunch of people who have recently immigrated to the city and don't care about the city or America and hate America. That's why he's doing well. Anyone who thinks otherwise is being very, very naive. Emily, Finn just put a cherry on top of this.
Emily Finn
We knew that LeBron James had no loyal bone in his body when he left Cleveland for Miami.
Jake Novak
So just throwing that out there and then went back. And you're right, the good point, that's traders for LeBron and LeBron for traders.
Emily Finn
Once a trader, always a traitor.
Jake Novak
Yeah. Oh, my God. And Stephen, even Stephen A. Smith doesn't like him. All right, Emily Smith, thank you so much for joining.
Tyler O'Neill
Emily Smith.
Jake Novak
Oh my. Finn. Well, Emily, Emily A. Finn Smith that's going to call you, but Emily Finn, thank you so much for joining us. We'll see you in the 8 to 10am hour. All right.

It's a live look at the White House right there with the flag flowing in the, in the wind. President Trump, of course, not there. He's at, he's during his Asian swing right now in Seoul, South Korea at the moment. Back soon. Looks like a beautiful day there in Washington, D.C. let's take a look at where the market's going to be open. This rally just continues every single day. It sounds like a broken record. For those of you who remember what records are an all time high every single day. We're completely in the green right now on that shot. The NASDAQ most up. Most significantly, percentage wise, as you can see, gold getting back over well over $4,000 an ounce. Again, it dipped below 4,000 for a couple days there, but now back solidly above their silver. Getting a Silver up almost 2%. Crude oil up as well, but just barely and still only at the $60 a barrel level. Let's take a look at Bitcoin. Bitcoin's been slowly but surely on the march up lately. A little bit down from yesterday, but still clearly over the $110,000 mark. Hey, the Fed comes out today with its key decision on interest rates. That'll be about 2pm Eastern time. Of course they're doing it. The Fed is without all those important economic reports that we're told are so important. Fed only looks at data and they have a whole model and they're very, very responsible. So how can they make this decision? Well, here's your answer. They don't use the data. That's a lie. They do what they feel like doing. They probably hear from a couple of their friends. There's probably a couple of political considerations. I had so much Respect for Jay Powell until this time last year when he cut rates twice with no data to back him up, clearly to try to sort of goose the economy a little bit. For Joe Biden just before, well, I guess Kamala Harris just before the election, I was really, really disappointed in him. He should have cut rates a lot sooner and not raised them as much as he did before that. That's a different conversation. They don't need the data and they're not using it. And the fact that they're going to move interest rates and already did last time, and we'll probably do so again today without a real jobs report for the last couple of weeks is really everything you need to know. Now, here's a report that really does tell us something about the economy. Ups, United Parcel Services, they used to call it. It reported profits yesterday that absolutely killed it. Well over what Wall street was expecting. Now, they also announced a lot of layoffs, but those layoffs aren't starting yet. So you can't say the layoffs have anything to do with profitability. Oh, and by the way, when you do massive layoffs for the first three to six months and sometimes a year after it, that actually reduces your profits because you got to pay all the severance stuff and you know, you know that whole deal. What you need to know about UPS is that UPS, like other companies, for example FedEx and Home Depot or Lowe's, they can tell us a lot about the economy. A lot more, I think, than those official government reports. Ups, it just can't be making huge profits, folks, unless the economy is pretty strong. I think there's a lot of weak parts of the economy, specifically, specifically the real estate market. But UPS can't be making a lot of money with people sending packages all over the place, business and personal, unless the economy is pretty strong. So there's a lot of strong parts of the economy. I had one person on X yesterday said, like, whoa, they're probably boosting their profits by doing a bunch of share buybacks. That person needs to go back to school. Share buybacks don't boost your profits. In fact, they take money out of your coffers and give them to the shareholders. This is profits from business operations. Share buybacks can boost your share price, but they don't boost your profits. Boy, we need basic economics education in this country very badly. All right, Amazon, speaking of layoffs, is starting the largest round of layoffs in the company's history. Now, they've already said it's going to be at least 14,000, but about 30,000 jobs are expected to be slashed overall. That, by the way, is the biggest tech sector job cutting plan since 2020. A lot of this has to do with AI from two different angles of AI. First is AI is eliminating a lot of jobs. They still need people like folks coming out right out of high school or wherever they're coming from to drive those trucks and to do those deliveries. But some of those executives, some of those managers aren't needed so much anymore because of AI. And they also want to fire some people in those positions and hire other people who can program new AI programs. But I warn you folks, if you go to work doing AI programming for one of these companies, you might actually be creating your own replacement faster than you think. So make sure you pay attention to that. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. This is Moving America.

That just ended at the end of September. That's according to the latest Presidio NCM average dealership performance benchmark. It's a big fancy name, but in other words, the dealers are making a lot more money folks. Now it may not be for the reasons that you think though. Yes, between June and September there were a lot of people who rushed to the dealers to get to buy an EV before the $7,500 federal tax credit expired. That definitely raised some of their traffic. But what's really going on at the dealerships and many of you I know are going to tell me about it and get her your own experiences when you bring your car. And now for service at dealerships, the price of some of the repairs or tune ups they do is through the roof. The world of going to your local mechanic. The days of doing that have sort of been reduced by the way. This is a business opportunity. If anyone wants to start a national chain of repair shops that can undercut the dealerships, which is easy to do. I know someone who just needed a new plastic cap on something inside her car cost about $50 and the dealership was going to charge her a couple of grand this is how they're making money on the servicing. They're also making money on financing. They're doing a lot of the financing themselves and they're getting you locked in for years and years of payments. Anyway, buyer beware. How much, by the way, are those EV sales I was just talking about? How much are they now cooling off now that that tax credit has expired? Well, J.D. power and Associates believes that this month alone here in October, which is almost over, they're expecting that EV sales will drop 43% in one month. That's a massive drop, by the way. My prediction is going to be at least 48%. Check back here in a couple of weeks when we get those numbers. Hey, Jeep is rolling out some new picks on on the Internet and some info on the soon to be released new Jeep Grand Cherokee. The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The big difference is, and this is something that Stellantis, which owns Jeep, is very excited about, they're going to replace the V6 engine with a new four cylinder turbo engine that Jeep says will perform better. It's a turbo 2.0 liter inline four. It's going to churn out 324 horsepower and that's 26% stronger than the Hellcat Redeye that they use, that supercharged V8 that they use in some of their Dodge models. So we'll see which engine works best. But they're excited about this. Okay, coming up, Zoran Mamdani's outrageous conspiracy theories about the NYPD in Israel have surfaced. Will it matter in that election six days away? I'll play you the video. You'll see for yourself. And America was shocked by the Tree of Life synagogue shooting seven years ago this week. But that shock hasn't done anything to reduce the number of anti Semitic attacks in this country. Why? American Sunrise Early Edition will be back with some answers right away.

It's Wednesday, October 29th. Here are this morning's top stories for the 13th time, Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats vote to keep the government shutdown going, even as the people getting hurt the most, their own voters blame the Democrats alone for the continuing chaos. Hey, is it time to kick it up a notch on illegal immigration? A reported dispute has developed between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan. Right now it looks like the more aggressive approach Noem wants to take on all illegal aliens is going to win out. Hamas attacked the IDF in Gaza yesterday and Israel struck back. But so far, the ceasefire deal, the deal ID seems to be holding. Stay tuned. And Hurricane Melissa is now moving above Cuba and it's going to the Bahamas and Bermuda as well. After its landfall will go down in the record books as one of the strongest anywhere in the Atlantic Basin when it's slammed into Jamaica. As you see here, damage assessments are underway. American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION continues now. Welcome back to AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. A couple of other stories I didn't mention. President Trump, of course, now in South Korea, it's kind of a day before moment this morning or it's really already the evening now in South Korea as he gets ready tomorrow to meet with President Xi Jinping of China. So of course we'll be watching that for any events and things that are going on there. But it's already the evening and I think they're going to get some rest. So don't know if we'll see any more live events from President Trump until late tonight. Our time early this morning, South Korea time. And also we're just looking at the continuing shutdown as we talked about at the beginning of the program. Now Democrats themselves are starting to see a lot of cracks in the foundation. It just seems like Chuck Schumer himself is keeping the shutdown going. And this may be in the new the new report is that this may be done so that he can go campaign for Zoran Mamdani in a last minute decision to endorse him, which may be imminent right now. Imminent. And we'll see if that happens. But joining us right now to talk about another issue which speaking of Zoran Mamdani is also at the forefront is Gavriel Sanders from the BM Mensch Foundation. Gavriel Zoran Mamdani is not a mensch. For those who don't know what a mensch is, that's Yiddish for stand up guy. That's my best American translation for that. And here's the proof that Zoram Hamdani is not a mensch. Here he is in 2023, just a couple of years ago, lumping the two things he hates the most, the NYPD and Israel, into one neat little insane conspiracy theory. Check it out.
Gavriel Sanders
The importance for me of international solidarity is that it takes me out of the American political landscape and reminds me just how tame some of the things are that I'm actually calling for. And it reminds me of the necessity of grounding ourselves in the struggles as opposed to the fights around the starts. For anyone to care about these issues, we have to make them hyperloma. We have to make clear that when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it's been laced by the idf. We are in a country where those connections abound, especially in New York City. You have so many opportunities to make clear the ways in which that struggle over there is tied to capital's interest over here.
Jake Novak
Gavriel the boot. By the way, whose neck is the NYPD boot on? I mean, this sounds like Nazi imagery. The boot of the NYPD is laced by the idf. I mean, in other words, anything you don't like here in New York City, blame the Jews. I mean, this is, this is just incredible. I don't know if anyone's necessarily buying this, but how is this man on the precipice of becoming the mayor of the city in the United States with the largest Jewish population in this country.
Unnamed Jewish Community Expert
It's the worst political nightmare that I could imagine. And it's beyond everyone's. It's straining everybody's credibility about how our system ought to be working, that this person who wasn't born here, hasn't been here all that long in his life path, has a father who is such a radical teaching garbage at Columbia that he could rise to this position. Now, I don't think this is by chance. I think this is by design. Just as I think the creeping anti Semitism across the country is. Again, not by chance. It's by design. It's fit. He reminds me in his rhetoric of the Minister of propaganda from 85, 90 years ago, Goebbels from Germany. He is a great speaker. He's a great propagandist. He's a pretty good liar.
Jake Novak
Yeah. Speaking of liars, he continues to laughably claim he's never called for defunding the police. Well, here's just the latest video. There's a new video surfacing every day proving otherwise. Let's listen to him talk about defunding the police. Check this out.
Gavriel Sanders
We need to defund these institutions. And I say that as somebody who has grown up in this city, who has seen what these cops can do and who has seen the ways in which that police have been integrated into every part of our lives, that we had them in our high schools, that we had them in our middle schools. We do not need police to be in these places. They do not create safety. We need to take this money, defund the NYPD and refund the people.
Jake Novak
Gavriel. We call this gaslighting. That's the hot word right now. Lying. Or as they used to say in Brooklyn, BSing. I mean, he's absolutely looking to undermine the police. This is all about kind of like what I used to say. They should put the bumper sticker. They should make this bumper sticker for every group that wants to destroy civilization. Come for the anti Semitism, because we know a lot of you hate the Jews. Come to our party for that. Stay for the revolution. That's what this is all about. He really wants to undermine the civilization of New York City, the nypd. I've seen what they've done, too, which is a lot of great stuff since I first came to New York in 1981. Just incredible. This guy wants the destruction of everything he does.
Unnamed Jewish Community Expert
And he's an amalgam of themes on the left. And then from the Islamist position, that is sense of superiority, there's. What he has is better, they are better. This is, this is all a page right out of Sol Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. You know, Hillary Clinton's great hero that she lauded so much. This is. And most people are too busy maintaining their life and trying to afford their life to look behind the curtain on where these ideas, where this ideology has been incubated and how the left and the Islamic agenda is working right now in parallel happens to be something I've studied for many, many years, having lived in the Middle east for a long time. So I think as far as the Islamic influence, people should read the Hamas charter, the, the PA charter and see why any peace agreement on paper is a paper piece, not a. And as far as the leftist agenda here, that's been going on for a long, long time. I mean, you look at the Qatar influence and there you see it again, left and Islamists left. And these are parallel tracks that are running here with a specific agenda to eventually cripple and then cancel our Western way of life.
Jake Novak
And there are people from all sides who think that, oh, the reason why Imam Dani is doing well is because it's expensive to live in New York. Hello. It's been expensive to live in New York for forever. This is an outrageous joke. It's really. Mamdani's popularity, such as it is, is about newly arrived people here in this country who came much after 9 11, who are making up a large percentage of New York's voters now. And also people who hate Trump so much that they just want to vote for the candidate who's most going to be a problem for Trump. Who's most going to hate Trump. That's the point. And they will cut off, they will destroy their own lives, which they've already done. Now they want to destroy the rest of our lives in their hatred of President Trump. Speaking of another person who hated President Trump, the person who shot up the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh seven years ago, again, the mainstream media and the left tried to make him into someone who was pro Trump. He was very against Trump because he hated Trump for not being radical enough in his mind, I'm not going to mention his name, but seven years ago this week, this is the anniversary, sad anniversary of the worst anti Semitic attack in American history. And a lot of people don't understand, good hearted people don't understand why that shooting didn't put an end to or shine a light so much on anti Semitism. In this country that it would stop it. But quite the contrary, Gavriel. It's gone up since then. More anti Semitic incidents since that moment seven years ago. Why do you think that is so?
Unnamed Jewish Community Expert
Anti Semitism isn't new. It didn't start after October 7th. Obviously it didn't stop. It didn't start just right before the Tree of Life shooting. It didn't start at 9, 11. It's been around for thousands of years. There are theological reasons for it. I won't go into those, but they're there. There are economic reasons for it. There are sociological reasons for it. You know, I wasn't born into a Jewish family. I became a member of the tribe, as it were, a number of years ago, 25, 26 years ago. And I remember my mother telling me, Jews are clannish. Well, raised in the south, the only clan I knew had KKK in front of it, right? So I didn't understand the concept of Jews being clannish or very inclusive. Jews are overachievers. And that makes people jealous. Look at the numbers of Nobel Prize winners that are Jewish versus the population of Jews in the world today. So that disparity bothers people. And so I think that there's something always below the surface. It's never not been there. And then there are episodic seasons in history when this surfaces like we're seeing now, I believe it's being fed, it's being fueled, it's being funded. I'm quite convinced of that. And people are reacting. You know, I mean, I can understand the younger generation today being discontent with the cost of college, the what a degree won't get you in terms of job, the economic disparities, et cetera. And everybody wants a lifestyle like they have in Sweden, as it were. Thinking it's that socialism, that kind of socialism would be great. It won't work in this country for a lot of reasons. So I think that the fact that it's being fed and the question in my mind is, okay, so how do we as Jewish people stand up to this? You know, there's no switch that could be turned off. And so number one is that we have to strengthen ourselves. Because the Jewish people in this country, especially America, have been drifting into, languishing, into a kind of this melting pot that's caused a lot of assimilation, a lot of just what I call locks and bagels, Jewish observance, go to synagogue twice a year, whatever. And not really holding on to the sense of tradition, not holding on to the sense of we're here for A specific mission to help the world get better, be better, grow, achieve more. That's what our role is as far as inspiring that. And so many of us have just kind of married out and gone for the good life. And the good life in the west has caused more Jews to disappear on the face of history than what happened in the Holocaust. It's a terrible statistic to say, but it's true. And so anti Semitism has a wake up effect. And I see that in our communities. We're all talking about it. That's why we put out that book you see there called Extreme Trauma. I won't make a pitch for it, but I just did. And it deals with the big lie and other themes that are really important to know today, especially for young people. And why we're focusing on the college community right now to help Equip these kids, 18, 19 year old kids who are being called baby killer, agents of genocide, occupiers, et cetera, who don't know the facts of their own history, both ancient and modern. And we have to educate ourselves. That's always been the cure for these things for us internally is good education. And we seek to make that education available. Your channel does this tremendously dealing with this through your various spokespersons. And I appreciate that very much. By the way. Thank you for you. And we want to tell the world we're here. We're not going anywhere. You don't have to be afraid of us. We're not agents of genocide. We're not occupying our own land. It's our land. So that's. That's it for that.
Jake Novak
Yeah, I. A little tip for those, for the haters. Could you at least be original? This is a 4,000, 5,000 year old hate. And I love how some of these people say this stuff like they're the first people to say it ever. You are the most unoriginal, unimaginative people ever. Gabrielle Sanders from the BM Mensch foundation, thank you so much for joining us. Have a great rest of your week.

Welcome back to American Sunrise. You know, I love when NPR and some of these leftist outlets say the quiet part out loud and don't realize that what they're reporting and talking about is actually an outrage. Here's the headline that they had from a story that came out just yesterday, the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. This was their story here that they put out yesterday. And David Brody joins us now. So NPR had this headline yesterday that boo hoo. The Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration is hurting foreign economies. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I thought immigration was supposed to be the reason why America's economies have been strong over the decades now, David, if they think that cracking down on illegal aliens working in this country is going to hurt the foreign economies, wait until this government shutdown continues and in the next couple of days the food stamp benefits and some of the other welfare benefits get frozen. Because it appears now that a tremendous amount of the money that our taxpayers are paying to try to help Americans who are down on their luck or whatever it is is actually really just going to foreign countries, David, many of whom are our enemies. I don't think NPR really meant to give up the show on their own people. We knew that, but maybe the NPR listeners didn't know that until yesterday.
David Brody
Well, Jake, the good news is, is that NPR wrote an article about the Democrats stopping food stamps. Oh, no, I'm sorry, they didn't. My bad. They didn't do a darn thing about that. But they have a quote here in the article. Please let me read you the quote because I don't want to be fake news after all. Jake, it says that the quote, anti immigration actions of the Trump administration, this is what they call the anti immigration actions. First of all, they've been trying to crack down on immigration. Secondly, it's not anti, if you're going to say anti immigration, you should say anti illegal immigration. So, you know, this is the language and this is the guilt. You know, they always do the guilt stuff, right? They always do like, why aren't you feeding the poor in Zimbabwe? You know, it's that type of guilt. And they do it domestically all the time as well, you know, the downtrodden. And we know about the Statue of Liberty, right. Give us your poor. I mean, the whole thing where, you know, they're just yearning to breathe free. You know, look, they have been trying to do this from day one. And the good news is is that Trump quite frankly tapped into all of this very early on and he rode that immigration view, the pro legal immigration view, to the White House in 2017. Let's be honest, that was the big reason, if not one of the big reasons that he did it. So you know what? Oh, well, npr, you're not getting anywhere with any of this. But the far left love you.
Jake Novak
Yeah, call Chuck Schumer. He's the one who's keeping the shutdown going. Hey, I want you to keep your viewing going. We've got two hours of American Sunrise coming up. American Sunrise, early edition. We'll be back with you tomorrow.

Podcast: Real America’s Voice | Host: Jake Novak (iHeartPodcasts)
Date: October 29, 2025
This episode of American Sunrise Early Edition, hosted by Jake Novak, delivers an unfiltered breakdown of ongoing political, economic, and cultural issues through the lens of American values and freedom. Major topics include the ongoing government shutdown, illegal immigration, recent election strategies, anti-Semitism in America, media narratives, and the economic landscape. Novak invites senior editor Tyler O’Neill and Jewish community expert Gavriel Sanders to provide deeper analysis.

Trump’s Bedminster golf tournament with LIV Golf (linked to Saudi money) sparked outrage whipped up by figures like Boomer Esiason, yet the same critics (Novak and guest Emily Finn argue) do not protest when anti-American or anti-Semitic figures gain traction in NYC politics.
Finn: Greater concern should be China’s real influence via Confucius Institutes and U.S. partnerships, not just symbolic sporting events.
Critique of NBA’s relationship with China and the hypocrisy of player activism.
Segment Start: [39:40]
Video evidence brought to light of NYC mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani blaming the NYPD’s actions on “training by the IDF,” fueling anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
Gavriel Sanders (BM Mensch Foundation):
Novak: Mamdani’s popularity is not about NYC costs but anti-Trump sentiments and newly arrived populations that “don’t care about the city or America and hate America.” ([44:17])
Segment Start: [45:41]
Anniversary of the Pittsburgh shooting (Tree of Life Synagogue): Despite hopes, anti-Semitism has only increased since that attack.

Jake Novak (on Democratic strategy):
Tyler O’Neill (on illegal immigration policy):
Zoran Mamdani (video excerpt):
Gavriel Sanders (on anti-Semitism):
Jake Novak (on economic data vs. populist perception):
The episode is marked by brisk, opinionated analysis, often with sarcasm and pointed rhetoric. Hosts and guests are direct, favoring clear attributions of political motive, and frequently use examples, historical comparisons, and provocative metaphors (“Alligator Alcatraz,” “this is all a page right out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals”). Humor is used, particularly when mocking media narratives or political opponents.
This episode offers a robust critique of current American political and cultural issues, using the government shutdown, immigration policy, and election strategy as case studies in partisan dysfunction and alleged media hypocrisy. The heightened visibility of anti-Semitism, especially in metropolitan politics and college campuses, is treated as both a symptom and a tool of broader ideological conflict. Economic updates offer a blend of skepticism toward official narratives and practical insight on market indicators. If you want a digest of right-leaning perspectives on these pressing issues—backed by both evidence and rhetorical punch—this episode gives you a comprehensive morning briefing.
