Episode Overview

This episode of American Sunrise Early Edition zeroes in on deepening national divisions and political crises across the U.S.: unrest and federally blocked law enforcement measures in Portland and Chicago, escalating radicalism in Virginia’s AG race, controversy over federal investigations, teachers union scandals, and the persistent ramifications of the 2023 Hamas terror attack. Host Jake Novak is joined by independent journalists and policy analysts for pointed commentary, with an emphasis on what is described as an “intellectual” and increasingly “armed” civil conflict in America, alongside economic and media news.

Overall Tone & Takeaway

The show is intense, combative, and unapologetically critical of Democratic politicians, institutions, and affiliated organizations, emphasizing a theme of a rising, now partially “armed” civil conflict in America. The discussions feature frequent calls for accountability, restoration of law and order, and institutional reform—particularly in federal courts, education, and media. There is a somber section reflecting on global crises, specifically antisemitism. Throughout, the language is pointed, alarmist, and deeply distrustful of establishment actors, with repeated calls to action for like-minded listeners.

---

For listeners seeking a viewpoint sharply at odds with the establishment narrative—especially on law enforcement, education, and political values—this episode delivers in-depth perspective, insider commentary, and recurring reminders of the stakes as seen from the “Real America’s Voice” vantage.

Ahead on American Sunrise Early Edition, the fight to bring peace and justice to Portland is still being blocked, but President Trump just might have an ace up his sleeve called the Insurrection Act. Stay tuned. In Virginia, still no call from the Democrat nominee for governor, Abigail Spamberger, for the Dem Ag candidate Jay Jones to drop out of the race. Is there anything that will get Democrats to break the ranks? In Chicago, more Democrats support for lawlessness and maybe even secessionism. Mayor Byron Johnson declares city property immune from federal law enforcement jurisdiction. It sounds like civil war to me. It's day seven of the government shutdown, and one of the guys who forced the shutdown to happen now wants to debate the Republicans about it. Hey, Hakeem Jeffries, why not just vote to end the shutdown now? And it was two years ago today that the most horrific mass terror attack of all time took place as Hamas massacred and tortured more than a thousand innocent civilians, took hundreds of hostages, and they did it in a single day. It also started a war that may finally be ending in the coming days. American Sunrise EARLY EDITION begins now.

American Sunrise EARLY EDITION with your host, Jake Novak starts now.

[Jake Novak]

Welcome to this Tuesday edition of American SUNRISE EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak. Thanks for joining us. And thank you to the control room for reminding me I got the mayor of Chicago's name wrong for some reason this morning. It's Brandon Johnson. As much as we can't stand the guy and his policies, deserves to have his name said correctly. So sorry about that, but thank you so much for Joining us. There's a lot to get to, not all of it very encouraging. As you know, I've been trying to both warn and push back on this program against the rising civil war in this country. It's been an intellectual one for quite some time. I think we know that in this country many years, but in recent months it's become much more of an armed conflict. And I don't want that to happen in America. It'd be great if we could stop it now, but we have to get everyone first to understand what's really happening here. Here's someone who does understand that. Walter Kurt, he's the guy behind the WC Dispatch substack. He's also an investigative independent journalist. Walter, let's get to the situation in Portland first briefly. Judge Immergut blocking President Trump from sending a small amount of federal troops there just to kind of clear out that downtown area that Antifa has really controlled, I'd say for on and off for about five years now. But the president could use something called the Insurrection act to get around that. I was wondering what you think the best strategy is. Should he use that or wait for a higher court to overrule this judge? I wonder what you think.

[Walter Kurt]

You know, I've been going back and forth about what, whether or not he should use the Insurrection act or not. But at this point, I mean, at some point you have to make sure that you maintain law and order in the cities. You have to, you just have to move to it. I mean, it's been crazy for this for months now. They've been doing this at every ICE facility for months on end. In Los Angeles they already had the same problem when they brought in federal troops. I guess the other question I have here is how is this federal judge blocking this? Isn't this the exact same move that he did in Los Angeles? Isn't this the exact same thing he did? And they already ruled that it was okay for him to do that. So these people are just intentionally obstructing everything he does. At some point you have to restore law and order though Chicago is a complete disaster zone. Portland is just as bad. I've got friends of mine that are on the ground outside of the ICE facilities. They say the police don't do anything. They don't control anything. They let the Antifa people do whatever they want. I mean, at that point, what do you say? I mean, what's the purpose of having law enforcement if they're not gonna do anything like that? So the Insurrection act at some point may have to be invoked. I don't know if he's gonna have a choice.

[Jake Novak]

You know, maybe the answer to your question is it's two different judges. This was a different judge who made this. Really. But you're right. When the court already overrules a lower court. And basically, I mean, there's been so many precedents that the Supreme Court has been trying to set that the lower courts haven't followed. And as I remind people on the show, I've done it a few times. John Roberts title is not Chief justice of the Supreme Court. He is the Chief justice of the United States. He absolutely. He's been talking about trying to get the lower courts to follow in his direction the directives of the Supreme Court. But he's going to have to bring the whip with him now because the carrot isn't working. And I think he needs to be say, listen, I am the. You know, the Supreme Court is literally the Supreme Court. That's why they call us the Supreme Court. And you need to follow that. We'll talk about Chicago in a second. But, Walter, we have to get to our favorite topic. Between the two of us, it became a favorite topic. We talked about other stuff before, but as soon as the Virginia election started to percolate, that became our favorite topic to talk about. So, of course, this is the first time I've had you on since the whole J. Jones situation came out, sending those texts, talking about fantasizing about killing the then Republican leader of the House of Delegates, then doubling and tripling and quadrupling down on it. This was not a drunk text. This was something he really believed. And he made it clear in phone calls and further texts. Republican nominee winsome Earl Sears has put together a really great response to this. But before we respond to it, let's see how she and her campaign responded to it. Check it out. We start with breaking news from the campaign trail. Jay Jones is under fire tonight. Jay Jones is under fire. Jay Jones is under fire after messages.

[Corey DeAngelis]

He sent in 2022 saying former Virginia.

[Jake Novak]

House Speaker Todd Gilbert should be shot. I'm excited about this ticket. It's been great to be out on.

[iHeart Advertising Voice]

The campaign trail with Jay Jones.

[Walter Kurt]

You said Gilbert's wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views.

[Jake Novak]

We deserve an attorney general who will.

[Corey DeAngelis]

Stand up for the people of Virgin.

[Jake Novak]

Jones said, quote, gilbert, Hitler and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.

[iHeart Advertising Voice]

Jones doubled down saying, quote, do I.

[Jake Novak]

Think Todd and Jennifer are evil and that they're breeding Little fascists.

[Corey DeAngelis]

Yes.

[Walter Kurt]

How can Virginians trust a man who said something so horrific, so callously?

[Jake Novak]

Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy. Hey, that's a pretty good ad, Walter. And of course, you could probably put that ad all over the country and just insert a different local Democrat who's, Who's supported violence, couldn't you?

[Walter Kurt]

Well, at this point you can, because not a single person has denounced J. Jones. You know, the endorsement list for Jay Jones is pretty long, and they haven't all pulled their endorsements. The fact that this guy's still in the race, that's what should shock everybody. You know, just a few years ago, I would think that if anybody ever said anything like this, that they would be dropping out of their race in shame almost immediately. But not today. Today he doesn't lose any endorsements. Today he doesn't lose any money. Today he doesn't lose any donors pulling out of his race. I mean, he's still running in this race. Abigail Spanberger, who's the governor, she has endorsed him and she hasn't bulled her with endorsement. You know, these people, I've been telling people now after this stuff comes out, and they, none of them have refused to denounce this guy and to drop him from the ticket. I've been saying that this is the most radical ticket in Virginia's history. And I think that's true. And you're right. You could move it pretty much anywhere in the country because this is the Democrat Party now. The Democrat Party supports violence. In fact, they endorse it. They endorse violence, and they won't even pull their endorsement from this guy after. There's new stuff that came out about him, too. He said that he was out there in 2020. He called a fellow rep in the Virginia delegate house and said that he thought it would be a good idea if cops were shot. You know, he said it'd be, well, you know, if just a couple cops die, that's a good thing. You know, maybe if a couple cops die, then they'll stop killing people. I mean, this guy's running for the top law enforcement position in the state. And that's what he says about cops. You can't have these people in office. They're the most radical ticket in Virginia's history. No question.

[Jake Novak]

Yeah, well, this is because we're in civil war. And in a civil war, you stop being ashamed of wanting to kill the other side. It's as simple as that. Walter, another big breaking story you alluded to it just Before Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago talking. Well, actually, I'm gonna get to that in a second. I'm sorry, cuz. There's yet another. There's so much incredible breaking news today to be outraged about. We've gotta quickly get to two last things. We learned just over the last 12 hours or so that when he was a special prosecutor, Jack Smith tried to illegally tap. I guess he actually did, he did illegally tap the phones of eight Republican senators. The justification was, oh, they're trying to find out if they had any connection to the January 6 incident. There were some other things they were trying to do to get information on them. I mean, this is worse than having microphones in an office and people walk in. This is tapping phones of elected senators. There's a lot of calls this morning for Jack Smith to be arrested over this forthwith. Boy, they're really busy over there at the Justice Department, aren't they? I hope that they do at least charge this guy.

[Walter Kurt]

Listen, Jack Smith and me, I have a special disdain for this guy after what he did to Bob McDonald. Bob McDonald was the former governor of Virginia and he went all the way up to the Supreme Court trying to charge him with a ludicrous crime and was slapped down with a 9, 0 decision by Justice Roberts. Roberts told him essentially that if the law of the land was applied by your interpretation that we would be able to charge anybody in the country that is in any elected position for any reason. Essentially what he told him. So, you know, I'm not a huge fan of Jack Smith. I hope we see him in prison. He deserves it. You know, he's. His relentless pursuit to the President is, was disgusting. And now that we've seen this, I'm not surprised.

[Jake Novak]

Yeah, and that's why he was chosen by the way. He was chosen for two reasons. One is they knew that he was a sneaky guy who would break rules like he did in the McDonald's situation. But also because he had had such an embarrassment in his career earlier, he was very expendable. In other words, you notice that the best, best lawyers and the Democrats have some great lawyers, let's be honest here. But they chose him, they chose this prosecutor because he was already stained. He had a unique stain that no one else in that department had ever had a nine to nothing slap down. And they knew that he was also sneaky and underhanded. That's why he was chosen to go after President Trump. And he really needs to have more than just a new job at some fancy law firm. They're Going to give him. I do hope they charge him. All right, Walter, sorry, we got a little bit longer with you because I want to get your comment on Brandon Johnson, mayor of Chicago, declaring that all city owned property is immune from ice. Now, for those of you watching this and thinking, okay, this is just a bad thing with illegal aliens, understand that when a city or a state says the federal government can enforce a particular law in certain areas, that is a huge sign that all laws will not be enforced in that area. Sanctuary cities became places not just for illegal aliens to go, but for all criminals to go because they know that law enforcement has been deterred from that area. It's kind of like, oh, this place has been fumigated from the things that I'm worried about. This is going to increase crime in Chicago. Forget about what you think politically. If you're, if you're a resident of Chicago and your mayor is telling the federal government you can't enforce a law, any law in your city, you better get the heck out of there or learn how to protect yourself.

[Walter Kurt]

I agree with you on that. I mean, look, Brandon Johnson has proven time and time again that he is a clown, that he doesn't understand how laws work. He doesn't understand that we have what's called a supremacy clause. He can't ban federal law enforcement from doing their jobs. He doesn't have the authority to do so. So he can pretend as if those things are something that's gonna happen, but he has. All he's done is let his city burn, let his city have violence everywhere. And now he's claiming that, well, you know, now that there's somebody actually attempting to enforce the law, I'm going to make sure that they can't do their job. You know, Brandon Johnson has, has some of the lowest approval ratings in the country for a reason. And I don't understand how anybody with the IQ of a kumqua ever managed to become the iq, have become the mayor of Chicago. It is still always beyond me.

[Jake Novak]

Well, there's a long line of them, of those people, starting with Jane Byrne. Let me tell you something, though. This is, here's what's going to happen. The federal government, the Trump administration will say, okay, you don't want to enforce the law. We will take away federal funding, all federal funding in the city. Then the city will sue them in federal court. The lower judges will say, yes, you're allowed to break the law and still get the money. It'll go. I mean, I'm just telling you how this is going to go. And in between all that time, people are going to die. It's as simple as that. And we don't have to. It doesn't have to be this way. People of Chicago, push back on your mayor. Just go protest, send, do what you have to do, but, you know, peacefully, because this is going to spawn a lot of bloodshed in your city. I promise you that's going to happen if this whole thing plays out as it has in the past. Walter, Kurt from WC Dispatch on subspec. Thank you so much for joining us. Have a great rest of your week.

[Walter Kurt]

Thanks for having me on, Jake.

[Jake Novak]

All right, coming up, CBS's parent company, Paramount Skydance, buys Bari Weiss's Free Press for free $150 million and makes her the boss of all CBS News content. But will it really make a difference? And is it too late? I'm not 100% optimistic. And Hakeem Jeffries is holding a number of losing cards right now. And while giving cover to Chuck Schumer in this whole shutdown mess, all the while, Hakeem is the loser and the guy without a chair in this game. That story and more when American Sunrise early EDITION comes right back.

[Leon Neyfak]

When I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes or just asked, why Benghazi?

[Jake Novak]

The truth became a web of lies.

[Leon Neyfak]

It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.

[iHeart Advertising Voice]

Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?

[Leon Neyfak]

Bad faith, political warfare and frankly, bullshit.

[Walter Kurt]

We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.

[Jake Novak]

You put two and two together.

[Leon Neyfak]

Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy.

[Jake Novak]

Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

[Leon Neyfak]

I'm Leon Neyfak from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries. This is Fiasco Benghazi.

[Jake Novak]

What difference at this point does it make? Yeah, that's right. Lock her up.

[Leon Neyfak]

Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Jake Novak]

Beautiful sunrise there, Myrtle Beach. The sun looks like it's coming right out of the water, doesn't it? Wow, there are a lot of beautiful spots here in this country. You could take any one of them any day. I don't think we've done a Myrtle Beach. I think we did one on a golf course once. This is a nicer shot. I have nothing against golf courses, but this is more beautiful. All right. Welcome back to American Sunrise EARLY Edition. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you again to all of you who are on the Getter and the Rumble platforms. Also, Substack. You can watch it live on Substack. Watch this program live on Substack and comment there and on X. I'm leaving out a lot. I watch this. I used to watch it on Amazon Fire Stick a while back. You can watch it on so many different platforms, and we encourage you to do whatever is most convenient for you to watch it. But watch. Hey. The public isn't exactly furious at President Trump over the shutdown, is it? Because we know that President Trump wasn't the one who voted for it. The Democrats did. They voted to make this shutdown happen. Republicans and President Trump were completely fine with keeping things going with a continuing resolution. Believe it or not, I think the public is kind of aware of that. Otherwise, we would see all these marches and people pretending that it's President Trump's fault. All right, but that is why House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries needs to try to shake up the narrative somehow. And so yesterday, he threatened, or I should say he challenged Speaker Mike Johnson to a debate. He wants to debate about the shutdown. Seven days in now, Speaker Johnson is calling his bluff. Watch this.

[Mike Johnson]

Yes, sir. Because you're standing up. Go ahead.

[Jake Novak]

Jeffrey just challenged you to debate on the House floor today. Do you see yourself debating him, or would you when.

[Mike Johnson]

When the poll says that, that about 13% of the people approve of your messaging, then you make desperate pleas for attention. And that's what Hakeem Jeffries has done. Look, my friend Hakeem had his shot. We debated all this on the House floor As you know, before he passed our bill, he spoke for seven or eight minutes. He had all of his colleagues lined up. They gave it their best shot and they argued and they stomped their feet and screamed at us and all that. And still we passed the bill in bipartisan fashion and sent it over to the Senate. The House has done its job. I'm not going to let Hakeem try to pretend for these theatrics. I mean, this is a Chuck Schumer decision. The ball is in the Senate's court now. The House has done this. We don't need to waste time on that nonsense. Those debates have been had. Colleagues, a friend. I mean, Hakeem is a friend and a colleague. I respect him, but we all know what he's trying to do there.

[Jake Novak]

You know, by the way, Jefferies is a loser both in the intramural battle over this shutdown and of course, the extramural he's losing in the battle against the Republicans. There is no widespread anger at the Republicans over this shutdown because they didn't vote for it. And I think that's really the biggest problem the Democrats face. But Hakeem Jeffries faces another problem. He's actually taking all the hits right now for this shutdown for the Democratic Party running. Great cover for Chuck Schumer. I wonder if this was Schumer's plan all along. Remember that? We were trying to call it the Schumer shutdown when it started, but now Hakeem Jeffries is stepping into the fray and making it about him. And boy, he doesn't want to make it about him. Because not only is it an unpopular policy, but people are starting to dig up some of Hakeem Jeffries past, actually, I should say his present. We found out about a year and a half ago that Hakeem Jeffries has a luxury condo in Brooklyn, I believe it is, where he pays $213. Now, I said that right. $213 a year in property taxes because it's in an area that was supposed to be meant for lower income, middle income housing and a special tax break for people in that. In that tax bracket. That's not him, but he's taking advantage of it anyway. Kind of like Zohran Momdani living in a rent controlled apartment or a rent stabilized apartment. Hakeem Jeffries and the spotlight. You don't want it on you right now. You are the fall guy. If you can hear me, stop being the puppet. Maybe you can say, hey, I'm a New Yorker first and a Democrat.

This is what we call the Statue of Liberty selfie shot. And we've got a bird photobombing us right on the camera there. This bird's like, what's up? What's up, New York? Yeah. By the way, that bird gets to go where we can't. You can't go up to the torch anymore on the Statue of Liberty. It's too dangerous. Currently, that is one of the great shots that I love that we show periodically here on America's Sunrise Early Edition. Hey, not too far from Lady Liberty is Wall Street. Let's take a look where the markets will begin today. And boy, that is about as flat as it gets for our futures board. I mean, it's almost. It's almost when you think about it. Zeros across the board just 34 points up on the Dow, just two and a quarter down on the S P. The NASDAQ is, I mean, that's flat gold. Even gold isn't moving much. Although getting close to that 4,000 per ounce number that I've been predicting is going to happen. And crude oil only up 6 cents. Boy, that is just flat. Now let's see if now bitcoin is not going to be as flat. I've been looking at this morning. I kind of cheated and looked at it. Bitcoin down this morning, but still, look where it is. 124. And it's been moving pretty. It's pretty hot. So it's been a, it's been a much more movable moving trade than stocks the last day or so. Hey, Sam Altman, who's the head of OpenAI. I told you last week OpenAI got a valuation of it's now worth $500 billion. They made some deals last week that solidified the value of that company at $500 billion. They're the ones that make Chad GPT. So of course they're taking that money for a walk around the block. Right now they have bought a 10% stake in Advanced Micro Devices. It's now called AMD. It's a computer chip company. And the reason why they're doing this is Open AI. First of all, when you're worth that much money and tomorrow you might not be worth all that much money, you should start buying other assets as a hedge against that. But the other reason is they need to buy a computer chip company that they can work with directly to make sure that there are computer chips that are powerful enough to run AI programs. One of the things that was really interesting here is that OpenAI chose AMD and not in Video, which is the considered to be the champ of computer chip makers for AI. So a little bit of competition. Ooh, I love competition in business. It's always a good thing. We don't want monopolies. So I'm glad they invested in another chip company other than Nvidia. Nvidia's got enough money and enough partnerships going, so we'll see who wins in this big battle. Boeing is going to accelerate the production of its jets in the 737 Max line. The company could release could reach a 42 jet output per month level by the end of this month. Now, 737 maxs are really, really popular all over the world. Therefore, those shorter haul flights, domestic flights, not only in the United States, but also in Europe, they're all. They're used all over the world. They are more difficult to fly, though. And that was why we had those crashes eight or nine years ago, if you remember, when there were those two terrible 737 Max crashes. But they happened in countries, as I say on this program all the time, where there is notorious nepotism. And who gets pilots jobs because their national airlines are nationalized. They're owned by their ruling dictatorships or kings or whatever you call it. And Boeing should have done a better job of warning these countries, like, hey, don't put your idiot's cousin into the pilot into the cockpit of this thing because it's a little harder to fly. I don't know if Boeing did a good enough job warning. They certainly offered a lot of training, but that was the sum total of all that. And I think now that the world understands that the 737 Max is even more popular. And so they're looking to build 42 of them in a month. That is not bad. Boeing shares gained 2% in the stock market on that news. So. And Boeing is a Dow component, so. So that's a good thing for all of us. Paramount, Skydance, that's the name of the new parent company for CBS and all the Paramount movie stuff and the streaming companies, they have now closed the deal that was reported a while back to spend $150 million to buy Barry Weiss's Free Press new website and hand her editorial director position of all of CBS News. Now, Barry Weiss, you might remember several years ago, she was one of the editors, lead editors of the editorial page in the New York Times. This is a far left liberal woman. Let's not mince words here. This is not a MAGA person. This is not a conservative. But she was still pounded out, rounded out or kicked out. Basically she quit. But they were making her life miserable at the New York Times. Now, is she going to make CBS News really more fair? I don't know. She may make it a little bit better. I don't think that she's any worse than any of the people that are there now. But judging from what I've seen so far, neither she nor Paramount Skydance is going to do what's necessary, which is, and again, let me make this very clear to everyone watching the executive producers or showrunners of the shows On CBS News, 60 Minutes, the CBS Sunday Morning, CBS Evening News, all the CBS streaming thing that they have need to be fired. You're not going to have any change in editorial direction until the people who run those shows and the executive producers are fired. Now the, the 60 Minutes executive producers stepped down on his own, but they need to be fired. You can't just say, hey, I need you guys to be more fair. All it's going to be is they're going to break the rules. They'll get a memo, maybe there'll be a story about it and it's never going to end. You need to bring in new blood at that granular, granular showrunner level. Not at the Barry Weiss level in the C suite, but at the guy in the gal who said, who sits with the anchor and, and the producers and the other producers and the writers and says, here's what we're going to do today. That's going to be the only thing that changes it. Will they do that? I think maybe 20% chance, maybe less. All right, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. This is Moving America.

I often say that all the reboot efforts at Stellantis and all the other companies that have tried to fix Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge over the years is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. But at least this is going to be a very expensive rearrangement. Reports are out that Stellantis is going to spend $10 billion trying to revamp the brand. And they're going to be focusing on new models, reopenings of factories, and new models at their Illinois and Michigan plants and things like that. And they're going to focus on revitalizing Jeep and Dodge. That's not a bad strategy, though. I like that. Maybe that'll work, because Jeep, in my opinion, is really the only big winter winner in the Chrysler. Jeep, Dodge, whole array there. I know there's some good Dodge stuff. There's some good Chrysler stuff out there. I get it. But Jeep is the big winner. I would de emphasize Chrysler and Dodge, maybe go for one or two Dodge muscle car models and get that niche market, but focus on Jeep. That is still the most popular brand they have. And maybe improve the quality while you're at it. It's been a down year so far for sports cars. They like to call them performance cars now, but I'm old school. I'm going to still call them sports cars. Well, anyway, whatever you call them, they're having a bad year. Corvette, their sales are down 31% through June. Mustang is a little better, but it's still down 10% through June. But the worst getting back to Dodge, the worst is the Dodge Charger. Its sales are down 84.2% for the year so far. My goodness. Maybe they need to find another name. But sports, performance car, whatever you call them, not doing well. Another loser in that. In that. That's. That group is Aston Martin. Its sales are down, too. Its shares are down also 30 year to date in their stock market shares. It's also complaining that tariffs are making things tougher in the United States. But let me tell you something about Aston Martin and the one thing that can save them. And you guys, I think you know where I'm going with going going here. Aston Martin is forever connected to the whole James Bond franchise and the fact that there isn't a new James Bond movie out for the last couple of years, and I don't think there's one coming for a while. That's what's hurting Aston Martin. They should basically invest in a movie studio and get a new James Bond that everyone likes and make sure that there's a lot of Aston Martin scenes in the movies. You might think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Seriously, that's what helps Aston Martin. That's my. That's my advice. All right. Remember the hamsters who made the Kia Solo a household icon in those groundbreaking ads? This was the first one. So Many years ago, back in 2008. By the way, this is the 2010 AD. Now, the hamsters may not be as suave as 007, but they really sold that car. They did until now. The Kia Solo is going to end production at the end of this model year. It launched in 2008. This is the 2010 commercial that really broke the ice. And the price tag originally for the car was under $14,000. It's still under 25,000. And you know, by the way, another thing about that car is it that really helped it is that you can get more stuff in there than you think. It was actually not a bad car to put all your stuff in and move back to your dorm room in or whatever it was. But the Kia Solo is going to be saying goodbye at the end of this year. I never had one, but I'll kind of miss seeing it on the road. I kind of like looking at it. All right, coming up, we're going to dig more into this burning scandal in Virginia. Jay Jones is not dropping out. No top Democrat in Virginia or anywhere else, not even John Fetterman is saying he should. What the heck is going on there? There's also a teachers union angle connected to this. We'll talk about that and more when American Sunrise Early Edition comes right back.

It's Tuesday, October 7th. Here are this morning's top stories. The fight to bring peace and justice to Portland, Oregon is still being blocked by a federal judge. The President Trump just might have an ace up his sleeve called the Insurrection Act. Let's see if he uses it. Stay tuned. In Chicago, more Democrat support for lawlessness. Mayor Brandon Johnson declares city property immune from federal law enforcement jurisdiction. That sounds like secession to me. You know why? Because it is in Virginia. Still no call from the Democrat nominee for governor, Abigail Spanberger, for the Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones to drop out of the race. What's she waiting for? Is there anything that will get Democrats to break ranks? And it was two years ago today that the most horrific mass terror attack of all time took place as Hamas massacred and tortured more than a thousand innocent civilians, took hundreds hostage, and it was all in a single day. It also started a war that may finally be ending in the coming days. American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION continues now. Welcome back to AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. It's a Tuesday. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us. And thank you for joining us on the platforms where we let you watch live and also comment live if you're still watching news, passively we just sit there and you're supposed to listen and you don't get to comment. That's not for today's world. Okay. And you got to find someone that will let you do that. And also maybe on air people who will actually read what you have to say. So you got that all in me. I'm doing my best. I need to have like all multiple screens so I can see the comments on my right and my left. But I'll just take my laptop for now. Thanks for all that. Joining us right now is American Culture Project senior fellow Cory DeAngelis. Corey is also someone who really is a tremendous advocate for school reform in the country. And we're going to get to that in a second because it's related to this first story because, Corey, you've been hot on the trail of the Virginia Education association, the teachers group there's and its endorsement, its endorsement of J. Jones, this AG candidate who threatened to kill and dreams about killing a Republican man, his wife and his children, and doubles and triples down on it. You've got this tweet showing about how they deleted their post saying that they endorsed him, but they haven't rescinded the endorsement. They haven't called for him to drop out. Tell us how that's going. Have you received any response from any teachers in Virginia? Anything?

[Corey DeAngelis]

I mean, some of the teachers on the ground who don't want to go public are upset with their union. And so I've told them that you need to pull your funding from that union, stop giving your hard earned paychecks to Democrat campaign coffers and to crazy people like Jay Jones who wish death upon Children over political disagreements. So after the Janus decision that went through the Supreme Court in 2018, teachers are no longer compelled to pay union dues. So the Virginia Education association really let the mask slip here. There's supposed to be an educational organization in charge of, you know, the basics, math, reading and writing and getting kids to graduate. But no, they've gone so far deep into politics that they almost can't reverse course. And, you know, the teachers, it's incumbent upon them if they don't believe this insane rhetoric coming from Jay Jones, who, by the way, he needs to drop out. The Fraternal Order of Police just put out a statement yesterday saying that he is unqualified, he needs to withdraw from the race immediately. And they said he's unfit for the office of attorney general. Being at the head of the legal system in Virginia. How can Republican and conservative families trust the school system with this guy in charge after the teachers union? Look, by the way, they can no longer claim ignorance because, yeah, they endorsed him before all this news came out, but they've deleted a tweet that got ratioed into oblivion with tons of pushback, hundreds of responses, people telling them to rescind their endorsement. They've turned off replies on two other posts, and then they've also blocked me on Facebook. So they know it's out there. The pressure is mounting, and I think the best way to apply pressure is to hit them where it hurts. Peacefully having teachers pull their funding. That's the only thing that's gonna get these monsters to change course.

[Jake Novak]

Yeah. And, you know, Corey, education is already an issue that the Democrats wanna kind of avoid in Virginia, because up until now, the big issue in that election has been that Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat nominee for governor, simply won't give us a straight answer about whether or not she supports men in girls locker rooms. She'd literally been running away from people trying to ask her that question. So I have to ask you, they don't want the word school and this election anywhere near each other, and you're helping to make sure that doesn't, you know, that they don't get away with it.

[Corey DeAngelis]

That's right. I mean, if you recall, back in 2021, there was a big shakeup in the governor's race with Glenn Youngkin, the Republican running on parental rights in education, keeping transgender insanity out of the classroom, getting Marxist DEI and critical race theory out of the schools. And Glenn Youngkin won in a state that apparen apparently went 10 points to Biden the year before after Terry McAuliffe the former governor there, basically the incumbent said the quiet part out loud at the final debate when he said, I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. Now, Abigail doesn't want that same thing to happen. And she knows that whatever she says on the issue of boys playing in girls sports or being in girls locker rooms, she's going to lose ground. She's in a catch 22 situation because she, he is controlled by the teachers union. The teachers union is basically a money laundering operation for the Democrat Party. And if she says that she wants boys and girls sports, that's unpopular. This is an 8020 issue on the side of the Republicans. And so again, the teachers, there's a lot of conservative teachers in the schools that just want to focus on the basics and improve math, reading and writing scores, that don't want politics into the classroom. It is incumbent upon them to force change to cut off the funding stream to the arm of the Democrat Party known as the teachers union. And the only way to do that is to say no more. I'm going to reject you and I'm going to join an alternative like the Teacher Freedom alliance, that's that just announced this year that they are providing free liability insurance to those teachers. So, you know, the unions have scared teachers for a long time and told them that, you know, you really need us. It's almost a form of Stockholm syndrome at this point. But the teachers now have the freedom to leave. They can walk legally, they can keep their money and stop giving it to people like Abigail. And Jay Jones, who wishes death upon his political opponents. I mean this is as far, this is so unhinged that he hasn't dropped out is just insane to me. He has admitted basically that that was him in those text messages he went on local news actually, Jake, and he said that, you know, when he was asked if this was disqualifying, what was his response? Well, he said that, you know, there has no, this kind of rhetoric, has no place in their discourse. Well, if that's, if you actually believe that Jay Jones, you better drop out like the Fraternal Order of Police is calling you to do right now. The thing is, Jake, he thinks he can still win. I bet you once those polls start to show that basically he's, he's losing ground, he might start to really consider. To drop out.

[Jake Novak]

Yeah, he might. You know, I don't know if you've read this book, Corey and everyone, if you've. I want to really recommend it. If you want to understand why the Teachers unions take these very anti parent positions. And why I believe that they're really interested in supporting the whole trans issue is because the teachers unions, as they were repackaged back in the late 60s or 1970s at a fantastic book that includes a chapter about this. The book is called the Ungovernable City. It's by vincanato, and there's a chapter about how teachers unions were radicalized, first in New York and then in the rest of the country in that book. And because they basically decided they were going to fight back against parents who had been actually threatening them in places like Brooklyn. And they are interested in trans, not because they care about trans kids, but because they know this is a bludgeon they can use against them. The fact that there wasn't one political consultant to say, hey, we lost this thing in 2021 over this issue. All we need to do is get one candidate to say, oh, I'm not for that. But they won't do that, because as you said, she's in the pocket of the teachers unions who want to keep the trans issue there to bludgeon the parents with and to frighten them with. That's why they're interested in it now. It's not just a Virginia thing. Cory, I talked to you off the air about this. We learned over the weekend that a number of teachers in New Jersey are suing their union because their union spent $40 million backing their teachers union's president at the time, a guy named Sean Spiller, who ran a campaign that they knew would be unsuccessful to get the Democratic nomination for governor of New Jersey. $40 million for a governor's race, a teacher's unit, they don't have that kind of money to spend on that, and they're trying to push back on that. Boy, I think that was a money laundering operation. Cory, this is not just a Virginia thing, is it?

[Corey DeAngelis]

I mean, no, this is all across the country. It's not just in blue states either. The teachers unions in the red states do the same thing. And then you have the national unions coming and sweeping in and pushing their divisive rhetoric, too. I mean, we have Randi Weingarten, the head of the AFT right now, the American Federation of Teachers, she's hawking her book, calling conservatives fascists all across the country at a time where we should really be turning the temperature down. And then, you know, I'm grateful for these teachers that are fighting back within the union in New Jersey. I mean, Sean Spiller, he was the president of that union and basically funneled $40 million to his own campaign. I mean, these teachers better win this case. But even if they don't for a few, for whatever reason, this really just highlights the absurdity of it all, doesn't it? I mean, he got 10% of the vote in the Democrat Party. He basically took $40 million out of the pockets of hardworking teachers in New Jersey, lit it on fire and threw it into the dumpster. And thankfully, he didn't win because he'd be even more controlled by the unions. We had something like this happen in Chicago, which I'm sure you're going to touch on a little later. But in Chicago, you have Mayor Brandon Johnson, who was basically drug across the finish line to be the. To be the mayor. He was a former CTU union organizer. He received over $4 million from the unions to become mayor. And he only won by like three and a half percent in a deep blue city. And the guy who was against him was basically a Republican, Paul Vallas, that was supported by Betsy DeVos and others. And so for Brandon Johnson to barely win, I mean, he's such an unpopular guy right now. I leaked some emails the other day from Randy Weingarten's main assistant, her right man, hand man named Leo Casey, who makes $234,000 a year at the American Federation of Teachers. He admitted in a private email that Chicago has been a dumpster fire, a total disaster under Mayor Brandon Johnson after they spent so much money on him. He has the lowest approval rating in the history of mayors. But the unions can't admit that publicly because they. They wasted and squandered so many union dues from everyday working teachers. And in Chicago, one last thing is, yeah, they have a failing school system. They spend $30,000 a kid. But they also were just found out that they put out a support glorifying a convicted cop killer who was on the most wanted terrorist terrorist list by the FBI. I mean, Assata Shakur, they tripled down on it. And it just goes to show you that these are political organizations, not educational initiatives. And they need to get away from the kids out of the classroom.

[Jake Novak]

Yeah, absolutely. Next time you have, I want you to come on soon because I want to talk about this other issue, another war against parents. Zoran Mamdani promising to get rid of all the gifted programs.

[Corey DeAngelis]

He's a hypocrite.

[Jake Novak]

Schools, which is also. Yeah. Which is also a war on parents and on children. The unions are as they were repackaged 60 years ago. Were as a weapon against parents there were some parents who were attacking teachers. I'm telling you, this is the history of how these teachers unions became this way. Read that book. Corey d', Angelos, thank you so much for joining us. Have a great rest of your week. We'll get you on again soon. Thank you.

[Corey DeAngelis]

Thanks, Jake. Good talking to you.

[Jake Novak]

[Jake Novak]

Beautiful shot of Jacksonville, Florida this morning where the people are happy. Big win over the KC Chiefs last night. Let's be honest, that might be the biggest win, even though they made the playoffs a couple years ago in Jacksonville Jaguars history with Trevor Lawrence. I know they had some playoff years in the long, long past. Welcome back. Boy, I wish I could talk about football instead of this, but it must be done. Solemn anniversary today. Two years ago today, the most horrific face to face, hand to hand combat type of terrorist attack occurred in the world. This was, of course, the October 7th attacks. 1200 people murdered, including young children, women, and of course, the hundreds of hostages that were taken and in kidnappings that resulted from it. We've talked a lot on this program and everyone has over the last two years about what resulted. The war between Hamas and Israel that may now be winding. Now we have Steve Witkoff going to the talks. There are peace talks going on in Egypt right now that seem more optimistic than we've ever seen before, at least in this conflict. But it also, and I bring in David Brody here, spawns something else that I've talked about for a long time, well before 2023. And that is there's something very unique about anti Semitism and anti Semitic attacks. As I say, there is no FOMO fear of missing out. There is no FOMO like antisemitic fomo. When there's an anti Semitic attack anywhere in the world, whether it's around the block from you and someone graffiti's a synagogue or punches someone in the face or a massive terrorist attack like this, it doesn't spawn shame. And other outspoken anti Semites, they don't basically go and hide and say, oh, I hope I don't get blamed for those violent guys who I'm kind of associated with. It does the opposite. It lights a fire in their belly. They start to say, wait a minute, I'm missing out on my chance to do this. And we've seen that here in the United States. We've certainly seen it in Europe. The hatred of the victim in this case has absolutely been on fire for the last two years. And that is something that is very unique to antisemitism. I know, David Brody, you've seen it as well. It has absolutely emboldened people instead of making them ashamed.

[David Brody]

Jake, you're absolutely right. And it spread like wildfire. And you know, we used to talk about anti Semitism on the left. Now we're talking about it on the anarchist right. And let me be clear, call it the anarchist right. I'm not calling it the far right, I'm not calling it conservatives, but there is an anarchist right that's, let's be honest, has a lot more in common with the anarchist left than they do with conservatives, that that's for sure. And so I'm going to call out names. Absolutely. Candace Owens. Shame, shame on her. Tucker Carlson has done some stuff as well, and there's others. My concern is that they've got millions of followers and we've got to be very careful. And at this point, Candace Owens is literally becoming the human version of chalk on a blackboard. I mean, it's gotten that bad to the point where no one should listen to her. And her way of doing journalism, air quote journalism, is I'm going to make an accusation and prove me wrong. Sorry, Candace, that's not how it works. Shut up. Absolutely shut up.

[Jake Novak]

Yeah, it's a danger. The Republicans are gonna lose votes if they continue to have people like that in our midst. All right, American Sunrise is next.
