Ahead on American Sunrise. Early edition now. It's getting painful as the shutdown hits day eight. President Trump says furloughed federal workers may not get back pay for not working during the shutdown like they always do for not working during a shutdown. FBI Chief Cash Patel is starting to weed out the agents who habitually bent the rules or even broke them to go after President Trump. And his supporters. But will former prosecutor Jack Smith ever be charged for the growing list of his questionable behaviors? And now there's a new Biden scandal emerging. The Biden White House directed the CIA not to inform its agents and the rest of the intelligence community about all the shady dealings in Ukraine that Hunter Biden was mixed up with. Outrageous. Speaking of scandals, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine refuses to call for Jay Jones to drop out of the attorney general's race in the Old Dominion. Are the Democrats really going to let the death threats against fellow politicians and the cops just go? And the presumptive next mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani, chooses to use the October 7th anniversary to repeat a blood libel against Israel that he knows isn't true and we know he knows isn't true, but he says it anyway. American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION begins now. Welcome to AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition, the show where faith, freedom and the values that built this nation take center stage. Your good deeds and bad deeds. That's how we're going to judge you. Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the story, stories that matter. We will be letting the public know regularly what we have found. American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION with your host Jake Novak starts now. Good morning and welcome to this Wednesday here on AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak. I'm going to start with a breaking and developing story. I call it breaking slash developing, because this is something we just found out about, but it actually happened Monday evening. National Guard troops from Texas, there you see them, have arrived in the state of Illinois. This is the Elwood National Guard base. It's about 45 miles southwest of Chicago. I think that's where they got the name for Elwood Blues and the Blues Brothers, but that's a different story. Anyway, the Texas National Guard there to join the Illinois National Guard. This is already, of course, causing a big outrage among Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago, who's going to try to block them from coming in. But I have to say that what really definitely predicated this was this incident that happened in Chicago over the weekend. We talked about it on Monday, those ICE agents being assaulted, boxed in by cars, anti ICE protesters. There you see the video of it and being put in serious danger. And on top of all of that, the dispatcher of the Chicago Police Department telling all the cops in the CPD to stand down and not to assist, even if those federal agents were being assaulted and threatened with, you know, having their lives threatened. This is going to make it, by the way, just to foreshadow where this is going to go because of course, Chicago is going to challenge in court if those National Guard troops tried to enter the city. This is going to make it hard for the city of Chicago to win that lawsuit. This video showing that federal agents were being assaulted, federal agents were being threatened, and President Trump really does have a tremendous amount of authority to protect them in that situation. And federal property. We'll see where this goes. There's been there was some outrage about this overnight from the left. Oh, my God, how can they do this again? Now, that is nothing new. We've been seeing this for several weeks. People actually willing to have the crime and other dangers go on in cities like Portland, Washington, D.C. chicago, the Memphis. That rather than give President Trump a supposed win. I know some of these people need to understand President Trump's not running for reelection again. They don't need to worry about that. Maybe they should just try to save the lives of their own people. But anyway, that's the developing story this morning. The National Guard troops from the state of Texas have arrived In Elwood, Illinois, 45 miles southwest of Chicago, to bolster the existing Illinois National Guard that is there at that base. We will see if they march into Chicago anytime soon. And of course, we'll pay attention to any one of the legal challenges that will come. That will definitely happen. Hopefully, it will just be legal challenges and not some kind of other force, either paramilitary or something else or organized like Antifa, to stop them. We don't want to see that kind of a clash. Hopefully, they'll back down, but we'll see what happens there. Now, meanwhile, we have a national story. It's day eight of the government shutdown. It's not exactly Lord of the Flies in America. I don't know about you. My life hasn't changed one bit because of the shutdown over the last eight days. But some people have definitely been inconvenienced. And for the first time ever, we could see actually federal workers really pay the price for a shutdown. Now, when we've had shutdowns in the past, the federal workers go home, they don't work. And what always happens in the end is that a few weeks after the shutdown ends, they get back pay anyway, even though they didn't go to work. That's not the way it works in real life. By the way, for those of you who say, like, well, that's just only fair, if you don't work in a government job and you don't show up to work, you don't get paid government workers again, I can understand them not wanting to be held to a higher standard. I understand that. But it feels like government workers all the way up to elected leaders demand to be held to a lower standard. We see that also in some other stories as well. But my goodness, that could actually change a lot of things. And there's been an attempt by the left, people like Gavin Newsom and others, to point to some of the flashpoints in the shutdown, for example, air traffic control. There have been some delays at airports. Nothing more than usual, by the way, but that has been what has been happening. And you have people like Gavin Newsom saying thanks a lot for the shutdown, President Trump, when everyone knows, everyone knows it was the Democrats who voted for the shutdown. The Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress have been consistently voting for a continuing resolution to keep the government open. It has been the Democrats who've been voting for this shutdown. And yet you have national Democrat leaders like Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, blaming President Trump for the shutdown. That doesn't work. It isn't going to fly even on msnbc. I don't know if they're going to get away with that. So that's what the situation is right now. And remember, most of those federal workers are Democrat voters and Democrat supporters. They will start to get on the phone and, and call some of those folks in Congress and say, hey, you better vote to end this shutdown. That's why I'm predicting this shutdown will end sometime, May, probably just before the weekend. That's my prediction. I may be wrong and I'll admit it if I am wrong, but if this is true, that they're not going to get their back pay watch for this shutdown to end sooner rather than later. Now, another developing breaking story as we're learning more about the chicanery and the dirty tricks employed by former special prosecutor Jack Smith and the entire FBI under James Comey and some other people, of course. Now, we've learned over the last couple days about it wasn't technically phone tapping, for those of you who like to post a lot on social media. And you don't want to have annoying people bothering you, don't call it phone tapping. What they did is they took the phone records. Obviously, it's essentially the same thing as phone tapping. But just say they seized the private phone records of eight Republican senators and one Republican in the House. So we learned about that. And we learned that Cash Patel, the director of the FBI, is now weeding out and firing a lot of the agents who habitually, by the way, it turns out that it was the same few agents that worked on every one of these dirty trick operations against President Trump or then candidate Trump or at the time, in between his two presidencies. So he's getting rid of some of those people. And so far, that's what's happening at the FBI. So there's your update on that, of course. And I also said at the top of the program, we learned late yesterday, early yesterday, actually, that the CIA was told by the Biden White House not to let the intelligence community know and not to publish a report about all of Hunter Biden's shady dealings with Ukraine. I hope everyone understands that not informing the intelligence community and some of our other assets about that absolutely puts the United States or put then put the United States in danger vis a vis our position in the Ukraine, Russia, war, Lord knows what decisions were made based on the ignorance of all of those shady dealings. We could have ended up dealing with criminal elements in Ukraine. We could have ended up with sending some of our weapons to people who may have terrorist connections. This was an absolute fiat. This is not just a, oh, Hunter Biden was a mess kind of thing. This could have put the United States in a national security danger situation, and it probably did. Now, another developing story that's going on because this isn't changing so far, not one Democrat, not one Democrat from the state of Virginia elected Democrat or, or from the National Democrat Party, not even John Fetterman has called for Jay Jones, the Attorney general candidate, the Democrat nominee for Attorney general in the state of Virginia. Not one elected Democrat has called for him to step down and leave the race. Of course, that was after the text messages and phone calls he made in 22, in 2022 were revealed, where he called a colleague, texted a colleague and made a very strong case for putting two bullets into the head of the then Republican leader of the House of Delegates in Virginia and to kill his wife and to kill his children. And then we also learned that he also called for police officers to be killed once in a while to teach them a lesson. And not one elected Democrat is telling him to get out of the race. Here's Senator Tim Kaine, who used to be Hillary Clinton's running mate. Remember that he's a senator from Virginia. Here he is responding to people asking him why, why he's not asking for Jay Jones to drop out of the race. Check it out. Do you still support Jay Jones? You do?
- [12:07]
David Brody
What do you do?
- [12:08]
Jake Novak
They should drop out of this race after those I just answered your question. You have concerns about what you saw.
- [12:15]
David Brody
The comments are completely indefensible. I've known Jay Jones for 25 years, and those comments are very much out of character.
- [12:24]
Jake Novak
So if I put the comments, which.
- [12:26]
David Brody
Are clearly beyond the pay against knowing this guy for 25 years, I'm still a supporter.
- [12:33]
Jake Novak
So there it is again. That, that, that whole scenario that I talk about a lot on this program and when I'm writing Democrats, especially Democrats, but the entire political class, whether they're government workers who would demand to be paid for not working, or whether it's people running for office who demand to be let off the hook for threatening the lives of women and children and cops. It's not that they are upset about being held to a higher standard. That privately I can understand. I don't agree with that. I think they should be held to a higher standard. If you're going to be working on my dime as a taxpayer and being given the authority and sometimes life and death authority as a politician, yes, you should be held to a higher standard. But I can understand the burden of that. If you want to complain about that privately, that's fine. But they ask so much more than that. They ask to be held to a lower standard. Do you think that Tim Kaine would be just so dismissive of that kind of threat and comment and wouldn't ask for any kind of retribution if it were you or me who did that? People who walked into the Capitol building and did nothing as far as violence or Anything wrong on January 6, 2021 were given very long prison sentences. But Jay Jones can not only deliberately threaten the life of a fellow politician, but also talk about killing cops. He's not even asked to drop out of a race to become the top law enforcement officer of a major state in this country where a lot of federal workers and a lot of. By the way, that's where the CIA is in Virginia. I mean, it's amazing. Imagine driving to work at the CIA not knowing whether the cops are going to be allowed to protect you because the attorney general is okay with killing them. I mean, this is just insane. Anyway, they demand to be held to a lower standard, and it's up to us to make sure that they don't get away with that. Okay, coming up, the presumptive next mayor of New York City repeats and promotes a lethal blood libel against Israel. And he does it on October 7th. I'll have the details, but if you're looking for some honest comic relief, a viral TikTok by a Nissan salesman in Florida is just what the doctor ordered. You're gonna love this. Just wait until you see and hear him lay down the truth about the hardest car to sell in America. American Sunrise. Early edition with some comic relief. We'll be right back.

That's a live look at Hickory, North Carolina, this morning. Beautiful morning there, obviously just still a little bit dark, a little bit light. You see the mountains off there in the, in the far side there of the, of the shot. Hey, folks, on either the Getter or the Rumble apps or on X and Substack, can you answer this question for me? Does anyone remember the national chain, it was in malls, the national chain of like cheese and meat places called Hickory Farms. Does that business still exist? They heavily, heavily advertised in the late 70s. As a kid, I used to see that. And they were in all the malls. They were one of the first chains like that to take advantage of malls in America and the whole explosion of malls in the 70s. Anyway, if you know the answer to that question, let me know. Great ads they had. They did. I feel like they did all their business on Christmas time. They were a heavy Christmas gift kind of place. All right, welcome back. Yesterday was the second anniversary, as you know. We talked about it on the program of the horrific October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. A lot of, by the way, Americans were killed, 47 were killed on that day in particular, there's still some that are hostages, alive or dead, we're not sure. And the presumptive next mayor of New York City, and I call him that because I've seen the polls and they just don't look good. But again, the presumptive next mayor of New York City, which is still the US City with the largest number of Jewish residents in this entire country, chose that day, chose October 7th to put this out on X. And I'm not going to read the whole X post, but as you can see it, he very briefly mentions the Hamas attack at the top. He says it was bad. Then he goes on in all those other paragraphs to accuse Israel of carrying out a genocidal war, which he knows is a lie. Actually, the only people trying to commit genocide is Hamas in this situation. He knows it a lie. And moreover, he knows that we know it's a lie. He's not an idiot. He knows that there's not a genocidal war. He knows that Israelis, many Israeli soldiers have died, by the way, to make sure that it's not a genocidal war. Israel could turn Gaza into a parking lot in five minutes if it wanted to. It's decided not to do that because it doesn't want to commit genocide. It doesn't want too many innocent civilians to die. And so it goes house to house and street by street. And in so doing, people, including friends of mine, die who could have otherwise just been sitting on a beach somewhere. So it's really quite the accusation. Now, Zoran Rahmani has repeatedly said he doesn't support the idea of a Jewish state in Israel. Let's make this something clear here. Jews are an indigenous people of what is Israel. They are the only indigenous people in the world where people say, I don't think you should be allowed to live and have a state in your own indigenous land. So when you say that, that is something that you don't want and you don't say that about anybody else. Yes, you're an anti Semite. Folks, this is an incredibly shocking thing to say, but New York City is on the verge of electing an anti Semite as their mayor. And remember, if you think this is just going to be with the Jews, you have another thing coming. I feel sorry for the people who want to have a Columbus Day parade when Mamdani is mayor, I'm sure he'll find some way to. To stop that. Forget about and maybe the San Geneiro festival in Little Italy. See if that gets canceled or if that gets attacked by protesters instead of not stopping them. He'll probably be among the protesters. This is someone who is trying to be a chaos agent in New York, and we haven't even touched on his communist policies. This is someone who said that he wants to tax white neighborhoods more than the rest of the city. By the way, are there any white neighborhoods in New York City? There are areas where there are more white people than other parts of the city, but I don't think there's any neighborhood in New York City that's predominantly white. Maybe Staten Island. Good luck. Staten island is not going to vote for Mondani. That will be the one of the five boroughs where he won't get a majority for sure. Maybe in parts of Queens also. This is what's going to happen in New York City. And I say this with all due respect to everyone who wants to keep things calm as possible, but sometimes you just have to Take an extra step here. Everyone in New York City needs to be prepared to protect themselves. This is a mayor who will not send the police in to stop riots. This is a mayor who will incite them. He just did it yesterday. I'm not making a prediction. When you say that Israel is carrying out a genocidal war, you get things like the guy in Manchester, London who tried to bomb a synagogue on Yom Kippur. It's as simple as that. That isn't what incites them necessarily. I shouldn't say incites them. It excuses them. People who always want to commit violence are just looking for an excuse and a time when they think they can most get away with it. And that's what's going to happen in New York City. This is what this guy is doing. It is a very, very sad moment in this country's history. And we can't just say, oh well, this is New York City, I'll move out. That's not how it works. This stuff spreads and we have to stop it. I don't know how we're going to. It's not going to be Andrew Cuomo. By the way, I saw Andrew Cuomo's latest campaign commercial. It was all over the sports, all over the baseball playoffs last night. It's an AI generated image of him doing silly things. And then they come out to the real Andrew Cuomo and he looks old, tired and unenthusiastic. I don't think he wants to win. So the fact that Eric Adams dropped out isn't really going to help us. All right, let me be blunt about something else. Gold is up around 40% this year. Cross that 4,000 mark yesterday. We talked about it live here on Real America's Voice. And it's not speculation, it's reality gold at all time highs. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat. Here's the Inflation is still too high, the US dollar is still too weak and the government debt is insurmountable. Have a nice day. This is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs. But it's not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in the door. Now, Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or a 401k into a tax sheltered IRA. In gold, you don't pay a dime out of pocket. Just text America to 9,898,98 and claim your free info kit. There's no obligation, just useful information. The best indicator of the future is the past, and gold has historically been a safe haven for millennia. What else can you say? Text America to 98-98-98 right now to claim your free info kit on gold. That's America to 989898 protect your future today with Birch Gold coming up. It's funny because it's true. We need some comic relief, right? A car salesman makes a viral TikTok about what he says in the is the hardest car to sell in America. And you know what? He makes a convincing case. You'll hear it when America's Sunrise early edition comes right back.

Well, that's a live look at Times Square in New York City. Free. Mom. Donnie, I don't know what it's going to look like after this guy gets to be the mayor. Maybe enjoy it while you can. And is it raining? I think it is. Can't really tell. I don't know with all those billboards. I guess it is. I'm not sure. But there you go. I'm on Long island, and I haven't poked my head out the window yet because I'm so busy working on this program for you. All you guys, let's take a look at where the markets will begin today. About, oh, 50 blocks south of where that is. And we have positive numbers all the way through. We had a day off yesterday from the rally, but I want you to take a look at gold. Not only did gold break through the $4,000 per ounce mark yesterday, it blew right through it, and now it's up another 53 bucks. Wow. We are really, really soaring on gold. There's a lot of reasons for that, not the least of which being the fact that the Fed has cut interest rates. Basically, when interest rates fall, the value of the dollar falls with it, and you need more dollars to buy the same gold that you bought yesterday. So that's a big reason why that's happening. But look at crude oil. It's not really soaring necessarily. We're at the $62 a barrel level. That's not bad. Now, is the same thing happening with bitcoin, because we should need more dollars to buy bitcoin as well. So let's fire that one up. And it's at 123. Actually it's up this morning. I think there's a lot of people who've been taking some profits on bitcoin as it goes up. I saw 125 yesterday for a while as well. That's about the high 125. I know there might be. I might be off by a few hundred bucks there, but we're, we're just about at the high right now. This isn't the best sign I'm going to tell you about from the real estate world. Real estate investors. These are investors, not people like you and me who are just buying a home to live in it. Although some of you may be real estate speculators and that's fine, but real estate investors from mostly Wall street, private equity firms, stuff like that, and individuals. Institutional investors bought one third of all the single family residential properties sold in the second quarter. That's the April through June of 2025. They bought a third of all the houses, condos and stuff. Single family. That's the highest percentage in five years. Five years ago. Let's see. What was that? Oh, yeah, that was the COVID lockdown. Now, a lot of people have been tracking this trend where Wall street and other kinds of firms like that have been buying regular real estate. Everybody, that's Times Square. Sorry, we just had a little bit of technical difficulties here. That's still Times Square. It's not, it's not the old picture. You are not seeing a rerun. But we're back online right now, so let's just get right into it. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. I blame Wall street for that technical glitch. I was telling everyone how they're buying up houses and jacking up prices. All right, they definitely. They're a gremlin in the machine. Hey, this is Moving America though, by Artillery T Company.

There was a fire at the Novellas plant. This is a plant that makes aluminum and Ford uses a lot of aluminum, as do all the carmakers you might remember. About 10 years ago, Ford made big news when they decided to make the Ford F150 the number one vehicle in America out of mostly aluminum and it still actually worked out. People didn't think that people would like that and it did. Well, now they're really in trouble. This is going to drive up costs for Ford as they look for new suppliers of aluminum. And Ford shares were down more than 1% in the stock market yesterday. On the news of that fire. There you see it. It's no small blaze. It took almost one and a half months. But carmaker Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed that output at some of its manufacturing sites resumed today as it continues to recover from that serious cyber attack I told you about. This is more than a month and a half that the all production, all production was stopped. Listen, this is a scary attack, but remember, hopefully this is something that our car makers here in the US can learn from. Whatever got Jaguar Land Rover could get us if we're not more careful. This is pretty scary though. In a month and a half, not one new car made for Jaguar Land Rover. Until today. Jeep is dropping the Wagoneer brand. But don't worry, it's going to keep the Grand Wagoneer. This is very similar to what it did just a couple of years ago when it got rid of Jeep Cherokee, but kept Jeep Grand Cherokee and then they reintroduced Cherokee this year. This is a lot of branding, but there's one possible exciting news out of this. The Grand Wagoneer could be reintroduced with the Hemi V8 engine. So watch out for that. That could be interesting. Okay, sometimes the cars sell themselves and sometimes they're like this. I want you to check out this viral video. It's a tick tock by a Nissan salesman in Florida as he explains the worst and it describes the worst car to sell in all of America. Listen to this. There's one car that no matter how low the credit is, no matter how desperate someone is for a car, anytime this car is presented as an option, they will always say no. They will never agree to taking this car home. Something about this car is just so ugly to every single genre of audience. No matter which person, a girl, a man, an old lady, a young girl, there's not one genre of audience that are attracted to this car. It is. There's one car that no matter how Nissan Leaf. The all electric Nissan Leaf. Can you imagine having bad credit and not being able to get any car and the dealer offers you an amazing deal on it anyway, we'll give you the credit anyway and you still say no thanks, I don't want that car, Nissan's been in trouble. And that's one reason why. Anyway, the Nissan Leaf, according to this guy and some other salesman people I've talked to, the hardest car to sell in America. Don't work at Nissan if you don't want to have to sell that car. All right, coming up, some college students and their enablers use the Oct. 7 anniversary to stage hate fests on campus. Our next guest was on the scene at one of them and she confronted the haters. American Sunrise early edition. We'll be right back and show you what happened.

Day eight.
- [38:00]
Jake Novak
President Trump says furloughed federal workers may not get back pay for not working during the shutdown like they always do for not working during a shutdown. There's a change. Virginia Senator Tim Kaine refuses to call for Jay Jones to drop out of the attorney General's race in the Old Dominion. Are the Democrats really gonna let death threats against fellow politicians and the cops just go like it's nothing? FBI chief Cash Patel is starting to weed out and fire the agents who habitually bent the rules and even broke them to go after President Trump and his supporters. But will former prosecutor Jack Smith ever be charged for the growing list of his questionable behaviors? And the presumptive next mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani, chooses to use the October 7th anniversary to repeat a blood libel against Israel that he knows isn't true. And we know he knows isn't true, but he says it anyway. American Sunrise EARLY EDITION continues now. Welcome back to American Sunrise EARLY edition. It is a Wednesday, and again, as we talked about at the top of the program, there's also a developing story going on right now in Illinois. Texas National Guard troops have arrived in the state very peacefully, I should say. They've arrived in Elwood, Illinois, which is 45 miles southwest of Chicago. They have arrived at the National Guard base there peacefully, as you can see. Whether they will march into the city of Chicago or not in the coming days, I assume that they will at least try. There will be legal challenges against it, but remember, I think the legal challenges against it have been greatly undermined by the fact that you had those ICE agents assaulted and boxed in by people in cars last weekend. That's going to make it hard for a judge to say there is no threat to federal assets and federal agents in that city. So we'll see where this goes. Of course, there's plenty of radical judges who will probably help block these National Guard troops. But it depends which judge. Here's the case again, this is an easy prediction to make that of course Chicago and the state of Illinois will try to sue to keep the National Guard troops out of Chicago and save lives. God forbid they should actually try to save someone's life and stop playing these games. Joining me now, though, is to talk about something else because Zorra Mamdani isn't the only one who used October 7, one of the darkest days in the history of humanity, to continue to spread blood libels. He wasn't alone. They did it on college campuses all across the country. And joining us now is investigative journalist Sloan Rathmuth, because Sloan visited a couple of universities in North Carolina yesterday where they tried some of this stuff. Sloan, they chose to use Oct. 7 to hold a Palestine day on these campuses. And I'm going to show. There you go. I'm going to show the video in just a second. But check this out. This is the pamphlet there that they had the posting there. I'm going to show the video now of you confronting some of the mass students. I think this was at NC State. I assume they were students. And then I want to get your commentary on the other side. Let's check this out.
- [41:04]
Sloan Rathmuth
Don't hide. Don't hide. You're out here celebrating terrorists. Don't hide. You come near me with that and you hit me with that umbrella, there's going to be problems, I can tell you that. Don't have hide. Don't hide. Show us who you are. Show us who you are. Show us what you believe. Come on.
- [41:33]
Jake Novak
All right, Sloan, tell us all about that and your day yesterday visiting these frightening people.
- [41:40]
Sloan Rathmuth
Well, Jake, hey, good morning. And for all of those eating breakfast this morning, sorry we had to ruin your appetite with this silliness, but this is quite serious. That was. You're looking at the UNC Chapel Hill. That was a. A vintage for our martyrs. So it's like a candlelight ceremony for our martyrs. That's what they called it. They do anything, actually, on these campuses to avoid calling it either a rally or a protest. And that's so they can wear these ridiculous masks. But I had to listen to students literally who were completely masked up. Didn't want to share their faces in a public place, by the way. Sit there with a bullhorn and say how uncomfortable they were because little old me was there and filming everything. Well, what's the publicity stunt without the publicity is what I told them. And I just couldn't understand why they were all wearing masks. Could it be that they're ashamed of what they're doing? I don't know.
- [42:37]
Jake Novak
Well, they don't want to be expelled. Amazing that they called it martyrs. Let's get something straight to the RLR audience out there. If you are killed in the process of murdering innocent people, raping women, or putting babies in ovens, you're not a martyr. If you are killed in the process of harboring hostages, putting hostages in your own home, never lifting a word, not one civilian in Gaza, by the way, has tried to save a hostage. And if you do that while. Which is, you know, by the way, kidnapping and holding someone hostage used to be a capital crime in this country. You could go to the electric chair for that in the old days, then you're not a martyr. And if you're. And Sloan, if you're a student who is upset about someone like you coming and filming something that they're doing publicly, this is like the whole Libs of TikTok thing where people get upset. How dare you publicize the video or the thing I did publicly? I mean, it's amazing. Do these kids not understand that they're doing something in public? And why would you. If you don't, if you don't want your identity to be shown, then don't do it. It's just amazing. No one seems to be giving these kids any guidance, do they?
- [43:44]
Sloan Rathmuth
No, not whatsoever. I mean, one of them put. A guy put his hands on me, actually yesterday, got in my face with a tambourine so that I wouldn't record them. Yeah, they were very, very upset. But I will say this. There are about 50 students at this protest. This is in the evening, but earlier I was at NC State and again, probably 40 people at most. And this was the day for Palestine, as you mentioned. And I asked, made several queries. Number one, what is Palestine? Where is the capital? What is the currency of Palestine? Where is it located? And on film I got a young lady telling me that she believes that Israel should not exist, period. And I asked her a clarifying question to make sure that I heard that correctly. And she did in fact say that. The interesting thing though, Jake, is last night, NC State, the official account for NC State, the school made a Comment and said, we, we're going to give all of our student groups the freedom to speak and viewpoint freedom, essentially. And when you express the. The desire to wipe Jews off the face of the map in their homeland, that is not viewpoint discrimination. And I pointed it out, and I think you'll agree, and I think the audience will agree, if the KKK were to come onto campus vis a vis a student group, that would be and should be prohibited. And yet it is just fine at NC State to allow discussion on wiping Israel off the map. Look, on Friday, they are going to have a tribunal for Jews. That's right. A tribunal for Jews at UNC Chapel Hill. Now let's reverse that. What if you held a tribunal for gays at the school or a tribunal for Muslims at this school that would be shut down immediately. And yet UNC Chapel Hill, we've heard absolutely nothing from that school.
- [45:42]
Jake Novak
You know, this is a point that I try to hammer home, and it was a rhetorical point until it really happened. A couple of weeks ago. You talked about these schools allowing free speech, or we're just going to allow free speech. We know that's a lie. Tennessee State University, which is historically black college in Tennessee, of course, forget the kkk. It was just a bunch of people, white students who came from other places and wanted to set up a table for a fair debate. Tennessee State University got rid of them like that. Now, I don't like what happened to those kids. I'm not supporting that. But it proves our point, Sloan, that if the universities, even a small school like that, wants to stop a certain type of speech, they will do it in a second. Everybody knows, please stop lying to us. Stop talking. But all of a sudden you're a free speech absolutist. We know that if they were there to protest gays right to exist, we know that they were there to protest blacks right to exist, they would be rounded off of campus in a second. They would never even make it in there. We all know this. Why are you telling us that it's raining when you're really, you know, when something else is happening? I won't do the rest of that metaphor. You've all heard it before. It's outrageous and we all know it. Now, Sloan, I know you're not from New York, but you know, the presumptive, forget it. Now, these are, you could say, oh, these are just dumb college kids. They're. They're acting out and everything, but we have the presumptive next mayor of New York City doing the same thing, using the October 7 massacre anniversary yesterday, like those students did. To repeat this blood libel against Israel and to copy from Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Zoran Mamdani knows it isn't a genocidal war that Israel is fighting. It's the other way around. Hamas wants to genocide the Jews in Israel. He knows that we know it's a lie. He knows that we know that it goes on and on and on and that he does it anyway. That's how eager this guy is to spill the blood of almost a million of his fellow New Yorkers as soon as he gets elected. That's really what he should put on his bumper sticker. Sloan, this is really scary. This isn't just college campuses, is it?
- [47:40]
Sloan Rathmuth
No, it's not, actually. And you've got a governor candidate named Rua Romani, and she's in Georgia, also Muslim, did the same thing. Look, I think on campus, and I think specific leaders running for office, and they happen to be Muslim, okay? They're using anything that they can, and in this case, you know, false narrative, to stick their thumb in the eye of Jews. That's what they're trying to do. They're also trying to do their part to incite hatred, dehumanization, and just pure malice against the Jewish people. I lived in New York for four years. I'm very disappointed that this is where we've come in New York. As for me and my family will never step foot in New York City again while this guy is mayor. Because obviously he's making it very clear, Jake, Jews are not welcome in New York and Jews will not be safe in New York. And this is, of course, a Mecca for us. I believe it's the second largest population of Jews next to Israel. I think maybe Florida is third at this point, but this is very significant.

That's a beautiful shot of Boca Raton, Florida, as Tracy Ullman calls it. Mouth of the rat. That's the mouth of the rat. Boca Raton. It's a beautiful area, though. It's a good thing people don't think about the actual. What Boca Raton really means. Anyway, sorry for the technical difficulty we were having there. My delayed thank you to Sloan Rathmuth, who was our guest in the last segment. Sorry about that, but let's get into another Story that I think a lot of people have overlooked because of all the big news going. I don't, I certainly don't fault anyone for missing this one. But let's talk about it. The Supreme Court yesterday sounded deeply skeptical about a Colorado law that bans so called conversion therapy for gay and transgender minors. This is when very often, sometimes people do it on their own. Very often, sometimes parents send children like this, young people like this into certain programs to see if there's something else going on. Basically, a number of states, not just Colorado, have banned conversion therapy. There are 30 states actually that have similar restrictions. Now, that's the straight headline. Based on the way the Supreme Court went yesterday. I think they're going to strike down those bans. But here's what I want to talk to David Brody about. I believe that the left and the LGBTQ community is actually responsible for all of this, for this loss. They actually made this loss happen. They could have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for the fact that they went in just a few years from the whole born this way thing. I was born this way. You can't change me to now supporting a totally fluid outlook on everybody's not only sexual orientation, but your gender. And so if you tell people in your messaging that you can change your orientation or your gender at any time, then how can you ban a program that works with people to either change it back or go one way or the other? They absolutely undermined themselves here, didn't they, David?
- [53:47]
David Brody
They really did, Jake. And my assumption is we'll lose your audio soon because you just dropped the mic. There's no doubt about that. And by the way, here's another problem they've got. And I'll get to conversion therapy in a second, but you may have seen that the LGBTQ X plus minus carry the one, all of that. They're now saying it's lgb. They want to ditch the Q and the T and all of the other consonants afterwards because it undermines the credibility of the movement. So they're in essence ditching the Q and the T or the T and the Q. I get it all confused. The point is that once again, they're shooting themselves in the foot if their ultimate goal is for, quote, equality, if you will. Look, as it relates to conversion therapy, there are a couple problems here. First of all, this is free speech. Of course it's free speech. In other words, it's one thing for a state to take action or to have a law to take action against actual practices, physical things that are going on, gender mutilation, surgery, all that type of stuff, that's one thing. But a psychiatrist talking, that's the key. Talking to someone about their experiences and their views, that is not necessarily an act at all. It's actually speech. And I think that is a big hang up that the justices have, that this is indeed free speech. So you've got that. The other problem here is the compelling evidence argument. A court, excuse me, not a court, a state can go ahead and put a law in place if there's compelling evidence to suggest that it's harmful. There is no compelling evidence right now. Now, a lot of people think it's junk science, especially on the left, but the actual research itself is in essence all over the place. I mean, there's not a consensus at this point. So if you don't have compelling evidence, how can you ban a air quote, practice or in this case, free speech? So there's a couple inherent problems with the Colorado law, Jake.
- [55:45]
Jake Novak
You know, I buried the lead a little bit too, because I was talking about how, well, people can change. They say that you can change your orientation and then that's the case, then you can't stop that. But I'm forgetting, I just kind of, I just remember just now while you were talking that there was this whole movement a year ago or so or two years ago or so, where people in California were telling moms, hey, if you have a trans child and the husband doesn't want the child to do this, kidnap them and bring them across state lines to California where a judge will strike, strip the father of his rights. I mean, if you're going to have that, then you're going to try to also ban parents from sending children to some kind of a counseling session. I mean, again, they have put themselves in this place. And at the end of the day, however, as I always say, David, this is not about gay rights. It's not about trans rights. Don't be fooled. These people don't care about either. What they care about is taking away parental rights, any rights. They want the state to be able to tell you what to do. And since the time of child sacrifice, that's been a goal of absolutists. That's been the goal of.
- [56:44]
David Brody
Yeah, I think the biggest danger, the most dangerous line out there is when you hear liberals say they are our children. That should scare the bejesus out of all of us.
- [56:54]
Jake Novak
Yeah, that's exactly what again, it's about taking children away. They did that in the Soviet Union, they do that in China. It's scary, all right.
