Wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Ben Ferguson. And I'm Ted Cruz. Three times a week we do our podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz. Nationwide, we have millions of listeners. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court. And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else. We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family. So now a verdict with Ted Cruz. Now, wherever you get your podcasts, ahead on American Sunrise Early Edition, FBI Director Cash Patel says the bureau is looking into more people and groups that could be connected to the Charlie Kirk assassination. But will anyone else ever really pay? The Trump Maha team issues a warning to pregnant women about Tylenol use saying it could be linked to autism. The announcement seems to have caught everyone off guard. The UN General assembly, or is it the Legion of Doom? I always get them mixed up. Is beginning in New York City today. The theme of the General assembly will, as always be about bashing Israel. That and killing parking in Manhattan is all they do at the UN Speaking of good for nothing, Senators Adam Schiff and Tim Kaine introduced a bill to block President Trump from attacking drug boats in the Caribbean. Hey, once you defend boys and girls locker rooms, what's a few favors to a drug cartel too? And ABC has lifted Jimmy Kimmel's week long suspension and will be back on the air tonight. One question. Will anyone notice? How will we tell the difference? American Sunrise EARLY EDITION begins now. Good morning, America. Welcome to American sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you. Politics. President Trump has joined. Welcome to American Sunrise EARLY Edition, the show where faith, freedom and the values that built this nation take center. State your good deeds and bad deeds. That's how we're going to judge you. Join host Jake Novak as he breaks down the 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. Listen, I told Terence, Dr. G and David stop horning into my show. No, just kidding. This is American Sunrise EARLY Edition. I I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us. A lot of stuff to cover and what was a busier Monday than usual. And we have a busy day today on this Tuesday as well. Joining us now to help us get through some of that is Daily Signal columnist Jarrett Stepman. And Jarrett, you have you yourself have a new piece out today or was out late yesterday about FBI Director Kash Patel working on the Charlie Kirk assassination murder case and how there may be more other groups involved. A lot of us, of course, believe that. Of course, the question is how involved they may have been, whether this is just a case of radicalization, which would be serious enough. I don't mean to downplay it, but what are some of the avenues that Director Patel is chasing down and where do you think this could go as far as at least maybe informing the American public a little bit more about some of these radical elements out there, even if there isn't necessarily someone who's going to get trotted down and perp walked? Yeah, I think they're looking into a lot of the other people who are involved in the discord discussions. Those who Discord's basically an online chatting kind of Service that's usually used for people who play video games, but it's used for other things as well. There was a series of messages released between the killer and his transitioning boyfriend that were very peculiar, very odd. They didn't sound like the way a young man would speak. And I think that opens up questions. Was this essentially a planted message? Was this something that was planned ahead of time in a way to try to exonerate the boyfriend in this case? So I think there's a question is, did he have a group and a community around him that was supporting him, giving him maybe material support, maybe other kinds of support through this process? And especially given the fact that the initial Trump assassin, Thomas Cooks, that there are so many now questions that have been left open where it seems like a person who just kind of came out of the dark and disappeared. I think a lot of Americans really want to know if this really goes deeper. And the FBI is on this and is willing to dig deeper to find and break up these cells before they commit more acts, assassinations around the country. Because if there's one group like this, there's likely more, given the heated rhetoric around the country. Yeah. And I think one of the questions we'd like to answer is, is there an antifa based online wing that works on trying to indoctrinate young men, trying to, and making sure that they get some of that terminology, as we know, was written on some of the shell casings. How did he know all those kinds of things? Did he do his own research? It's possible. It's possible. But we need to find out all of those things and to find out if there is some kind of network funded by who knows? Again, we of course, wouldn't be surprised at some of the usual suspects. We've got to find that out and make sure that, you know, there's possible, possibly some way, if there is some way to prosecute them. Look, a lot of us are talking about this, especially since the memorial service, the effect of the Charlie Crook assassination. How many people now are redirected to trying to advance his messages and the things he believed in. And so we have something right at your doorstep. We have an election in Virginia that absolutely caught his attention. And I've been talking about a lot for the last few weeks. And we had Democrat governor candidate, gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spamberger having a pretty rough last few days. Somebody finally was able to ask her point blank. She's been very, very shielded from real questions from the news media or anyone else. But someone finally posed the Question to her about boys and girls locker rooms. It did not go well for her. Check it out. So can you tell us directly do you support biological males who say they're women using women's locker rooms and bathrooms and competing in women's sports? Well, the, the circumstance as this legal case plays out is really one of we've had settled or judged here in Virginia in the 4th district, the former Gavin Grimm case related to bathroom usage. And in fact, the argument is the assessment is there needs to be much clearer guidance in terms of what is an executive order's binding assessment of Title 9 versus what has been a decision of a court. But ultimately the real impact here is once again, it is the Trump administration taking dollars away from Virginia. Threatening education dol to our public schools is an attack on Virginia's kids. It's an attack on our economy. It's an attack on Virginians. And as governor, the important thing, as a candidate for governor, the important thing, the important priority for me is to ensure that we have the best public schools in the entire country. And the reality is when we have a president who is coming after Virginia, our education system, whether It's K through 12 or whether it is our public universities that is harmful to Virginia, our ability to educate our kids and ultimately our economy, the sound and the fury signifying nothing. I mean, that was one of the worst answers I've ever seen. Jarrett, this is a huge issue in Virginia. It's been a huge issue for four plus years. Her staff must have known at some point somebody would ask her this question. How could she be so ill prepared to answer it? What a terrible non answer. I think it's because she ultimately has no answer. There's no answer to this question other than the direct one. This is the reason why Glenn Youngkin won in his race in large part because of this very question. It's an 8020 issue, as many have noted, that caused a lot of stir in a lot of schools, especially in Northern Virginia, where you have biological males entering bathrooms of girls and in some cases committing assaults and other crimes. This is a very serious issue. And frankly, Democrats in general don't have an answer to this. They just simply don't want to talk about it. They don't want to actually change their course or actually say, well, we were really wrong, we need to reverse these laws because they're not going to do that. They want to talk about it in the public. I think this gets to why Democrats, not just in Virginia but across the country, can't escape this issue because People know that as soon as they're in power, they're going to try to push this issue once again. They're not going to stop. Their activist base simply won't allow it. So I think that answer was actually what she wanted to go with. That was the prepared answer. I mean, that was the one she wanted. Unbelievable. Reminds me of when you're a kid in high school and you don't know the answer to the essay question and you just write 17 sentences and hope you get partial credit. She got no credit for that answer. Jarrett, let's talk about this H1B visa story because it's a big one also, by the way, in Northern Virginia. And it's of course in the tech areas as well, but also hospitals and banks. This is this fee that President Trump is slapping on every H1B position that a company in America uses to bring people in. Again, I like to say this, you're really going to have to watch Real America's Voice and other outlets like us, but mostly us, to get the real skinny on this story. Because I'm telling you, as someone who worked in some of the mainstream media shops over the years, they are heavily relying on H1B visa abuse, and I use that word advisedly, abuse. The back offices of the major mainstream media outlets, both in their news and their entertainment divisions, heavily, heavily rely on H1B visa abuse. I remember the day at CNBC in 2014 or 2015 when a ton of them came and started working on a website and the back office stuff that was working just fine before them. There were plenty of Americans who were skilled enough to do it. This isn't just about Google and companies like it. It's also about hospitals and banks. I wonder if this is another issue, kind of like boys in the girls bathroom that the Democrats better be careful about pushing back on or anyone really, because when the American people learn the extent of the abuse of this entire program, they're going to get angrier about this than they are right now. Yeah, especially when you given the original kind of concept for H1B was to bring in people with unique skills that simply didn't exist in America. Unique skills. And it used to be very difficult. But a lot of companies realized that they could bring in a lot of cheap labor they could replace. Basically entire industries now have been replaced by foreign workers. And it is just for a lot of companies to get in, people that are coming in at wages that Americans won't take. And it's entirely changed our system and a few countries, of course, have used it quite extensively, India in particular. And I think now this kind of just exposes the system. It's not working the way it was originally intended. It's become a scam that I think a lot of Americans, especially those who've worked in those industries. The media angle I think is very interesting and unique. Most people think about tech, but certainly is dramatically impacting entire industries and it makes it so a lot of Americans can't get their foot in the door into jobs that they would certainly do and that they, they have the skills for. Yeah, I mean we, we heard yesterday from Mike Ring from Old Glory bank that tech sector grads, tech grads in America had now a higher unemployment rate than the rest of us. That's outrageous, Jarrett. Now let's finally do another episode of the Democrats Are Gonna Die on that Hill. That's the name of one of my favorite sitcoms. But it's not funny because Tim Kaine, Senator Tim Kaine and Senator Adam Schiff are proposing a bill that would block President Trump and the administration from attacking drug boats. Now they're defending drug cartels from attacking drug boats in the Caribbean. I mean this is just incredible. I can understand them saying, hey, we want more pre notice something like or hearing on it maybe. I get it. Although even that I think is ridiculous. What American voter is against the idea of blowing up these gunboats, these drug boats. They're not coming to supply cvs, they're coming to supply drug dealers on the streets. This is insane. Yeah, it really is insane. As you said, they really have no alternative otherwise. I mean, if there were some other suggestion for how to deal with this issue that frankly, fentanyl has killed so many Americans, a very small amount can be incredibly deadly. It's very difficult even to stop it at the border. If this is the Trump administration being proactive in breaking up these cartels that have killed so many Americans, these cartels are basically at war with the American people. They certainly killed a lot of our countrymen. It's very sick. And frankly the Democrats, they don't have much of a message other than to maybe say that the War Powers act doesn't quite cover this, but they want to add to it, which I think actually kind of validates it in a certain sense. I don't know what the message is here. They've, they've, they've obviously on this entire issue of immigration, they've completely face planted, but they seem to just be digging deeper and deeper every time we go through with this. And I think most Americans right now, every time they see one of these boats blown up, they're celebrating because that means a lot less Americans are going to have to die to protect really evil men who want to wish us harm. So, yeah, good on the Trump administration. I don't know what on earth the Democrats think that they're going to get out of this. I don't think their resolution will succeed and they're not going to succeed with the American people. I think rightly see this is a justified action. Yeah. Well, I would suggest to Cash Patel to start looking into the campaign donations of both Schiff and Kaine and see if there's some kind of third and fourth party giving them money via the drug cartels because that's the only explanation for this. Jared Stepman, thank you so much for joining us everyone. Check out his piece on Cash Patel and the Kirk investigation in the Daily Signal. Thank you for joining me. Thanks, Jake.

Podcasts or wherever you listen. That's a live look at New York City this morning. Not too far from this shot is the United nations, and that's where President Trump will be speaking. We're expecting it around 9:50am Eastern Time at the UN General Assembly. You will be able to see that live here on Real America's Voice. That would be during the American Sunrise program, which comes up after this. So check that out. Pretty much the only part of the UN General assembly that I'll be able to stomach, probably maybe one or two other speeches. The rest of it is like the meeting of the Legion of Doom, the Joker, the Riddler, Lex Luthor will be there. You know what I'm talking about. All right. Welcome back to AMERICAN Sunrise, EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak on a Tuesday. Thank you so much for joining us on the Getter and the Rumble Chats. Hey, ABC is putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air tonight. I'm sure you'll all be watching. Actually, who was watching that show was the question. I don't know if anyone knew the difference when he was pulled off the air. But of course, not all the affiliates are going to be joining in. The 31 ABC affiliates owned by Sinclair will not be joining in with putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air tonight or maybe even any night. So we'll see how that goes. But let's bring in Real America's Voice contributor Emily Finn, because a couple of politicians trying to take advantage of this. We knew over the weekend they were saying this is the end of the world. This is censorship. This is government. Of course, it was actually abc, Disney that made the choice. It wasn't a government order. And then you had Zoran Mamdani, the Communist, running for mayor in New York City who doesn't want to do any public appearances, because when he does, of course, it hurts his image. And the local ABC station in New York, which is owned, I mean, technically it's owned by Disney, abc, he, he bowed out of an open house. He was going to do there a speakers forum saying he's upset about the Kimmel stuff. Now he's going to have to reschedule because the second he made that statement, a couple moments later, they reinstated the show. EMILY it's this is good. I mean, again, this is like another episode of that show I talked about in the last segment. Democrats want to die on this hill. They're really going to die on the hill of Jimmy Kimmel, a show no one watches and a guy who is just, you know, who has a career of making misogynist comments and doing a sketch in blackface. By the way, this is the guy they're dying on. This is the hill they're dying on. EMILY it's ridiculous, Jake. Absolutely ridiculous. And let's think about this for a second. Zoran Mandami wanted to have this town.
- [23:13]
B
Hall in response to the freedom of speech, speech violation he thought was happening to Jimmy Kimmel. But he didn't want to address the.
- [23:20]
A
Young man, the young political activist in this country that was assassinated. I mean, that would have been a great opportunity to have a town hall.
- [23:27]
B
And to open up dialogue and open.
- [23:28]
A
Up conversation and have debate. But no, it's because of the wealthy TV show host that decides that the.
- [23:35]
B
Network decided to pull for like a day. And now it just seems like he's picking the wrong topic to be bringing people together on.
- [23:43]
A
We'll be watching to see what Kimmel has to say tonight.
- [23:46]
B
You know, he's going to address all.
- [23:47]
A
Of the drama that took his show off the air in the first place.
- [23:51]
B
And he has an opportunity to really bring people together and have a moment of unity.
- [23:55]
A
So hopefully he doesn't waste this and.
- [23:57]
B
You know, celebrate what happened to Charlie Kirk and celebrate violence like the rest of the left has been doing.
- [24:03]
A
JAKE yeah, and what's going to happen tonight is that people are going to say, like, well, everyone's going to tune in tonight to see what he says. No, everyone's going to tune in early in the morning and look on social media for the clips of what he's going to say. I don't think they're going to get great ratings tonight. And by the way, that's going to be 31 cities that aren't going to watch it. And I haven't looked at all the Sinclair ABC stations that they own, but some of them must be in top 10 or top 20 markets. So the numbers should be lower. If they're higher, then I'm going to be very dubious of those numbers. And again, people who say like, oh, I tuned in. Wait a minute. Did you really tune in or did you just go on X the next morning and look at it and look what the clip was? I'll be honest, I will not be staying up late to watch, but maybe.
- [24:42]
B
I'll see the clips circulating on social media tomorrow.
- [24:46]
A
That's all that's gonna happen. And by the way, that'll be indicative of the problem with the whole late night franchise. It has been defeated by social media clips. Young people do not watch late night anymore, which was always the argument for how much money they spent on it. Oh, they have a young audience. I don't know any young people. Emily, do you who watch Jimmy Kimmel or Colbert or any of those shows?
- [25:04]
B
No, not at all.
- [25:05]
A
If they're getting content from comedians, it's.
- [25:07]
B
Someone like Shane Gillis on YouTube or on X.
- [25:11]
A
So no, the late night shows are dead. My kids have never watched it. All right, Emily Finn, thanks for joining us. We'll see you again in the 8 to 10am hour. Thank you.

So download Verdict with Ted Cruz now. Wherever you get your podcasts that's another angle of Manhattan. Another live shot this morning as again, don't forget, on the Upper east side of Manhattan is the United nations. And that is where President Trump will be addressing the United Nations General assembly. Relative time 9:50am Eastern time. You'll see that right here on Real America's Voice. There'll be some, maybe one or two other speakers that'll be worth listening to. The rest gonna be pretty scary. Really feel like I'm watching like a Super Village convention. Every time the UN General assembly goes on, people complain about the traffic. I can live with the traffic, but I can't live with all these evil people in one place. That's a little scary. All right, let's take a look at where the markets are going to begin today. And we're looking at a very flat day right now in the markets. Do not expect heavy volume today. As you know, it's the Jewish holiday of Russia. Shana, I'm going to be rushing out to services right after the show myself. So you're not going to have a big, big volume today and not a lot of traders taking the day off. However, it's actually generally positive. I know it looks flat there, but we are looking at a higher open at least for the Dow this morning. All time highs on those indices. They had another good day yesterday. And then look at gold. Yes, that is an 8 after the 3, 3, 813 dollars and change all time high for gold. Crude oil pretty tame, below 63 bucks a barrel. Now let's take a look at Bitcoin. Bitcoin, you know, still struggling 112. 8 is where it is right now. Again, about $10,000 off of its all time high. But of course compared to last year, it's a lot higher. Hey, the Tylenol autism link story. Now this was something that we only found out about earlier yesterday. And then President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The health secretary came out and talked about how there are studies showing a potential link between the use of Tylenol by pregnant women and autism. Of course, the left went crazy about how there's no proof. No proof, no proof. There are actually a couple of studies. I actually just saw one from Harvard Medical School that just came out this year. Of course, nothing 100% definitive, but boy, why take chances. By the way, Tylenol is a serious drug for those of you who think it's just something you can pop six or seven a day. Don't pregnant or not, people visits to emergency rooms because of Tylenol abuse, usually accidental Very, very high. It causes liver damage. Be careful with it. If you have a fever, just be very careful with it. That's all I can say, pregnant or not. Anyway, there's a company that owns Tylenol. Of course, it's Johnson and Johnson, but they spun it out into another company two years ago. It's called Ken View. I probably have never heard of it, but it is a stock now. It lost 7% yesterday on this news, as you might expect, but it's up 5% in the pre market this morning because some of their investors were worrying about an outright ban on the, on the pill that didn't happen on Tylenol. So there, there, there's a relief rally this morning. It's up actually almost 6%, still down from where it was at this time yesterday. But you get the point. It's not as bad as they thought. Anyway, my question though is did Tylenol spin out. Sorry, did Johnson and Johnson spin out Tylenol to another company two years ago because they knew something like this was coming, Trump or no Trump, and they wanted to indemnify the rest of the company, or did they just do it for the investor banker fees and stuff like that, which is possible, but if that's the case, I'd like to know more about it. The Tylenol, Johnson and Johnson know Tylenol was going to get targeted by the FDA again, Trump, Kennedy or not. That's what I want to know. All right. Pfizer was once on top of the world. Remember about four years ago. Everyone loved that. Not everyone, but you know what I mean. The government, the Biden administration was loving all those vaccines. Well, since then they've been struggling because they went all in on vaccines. Pfizer, by the way, had some very promising cancer treatments that they shelved, at least as far as their emphasis for those vaccines. That's a terrible story in and of itself. But of course, they also fell behind in the weight loss drug wars. You know, those where everyone's just dying to get another injectable or oral pill to help you lose weight. So Pfizer bought another company. If you can't beat him, buy someone else who's doing it. They bought Metcera, which is a company that has some promising weight loss drugs in the pipeline. They bought it for $7.3 billion. Now, usually on Wall street when a company gets bought, of course, their shares shoot up. And that's what happened. Metcera shares soared 61% yesterday. Nice payday for their investors. But usually what happens is the company that buys another company, their shares go down because there's always a lot of investors who feel like maybe they overpaid for this. Not the case yesterday. Pfizer is so far behind in the weight loss drug wars that even its shares went up yesterday. At one point, they were up a couple of percentage points. They ended up up slightly for the day. But that just goes to show, no matter how much they paid for it, investors said, hey, nice to get with the program. You bought this other company again. Remember these drugs, you got to be very careful with them. Make sure you consult with a real doctor before you run after the injectable weight loss drugs or the pills. They're not for everyone for some people, but they are not for everyone. All right, Modelo, let's get to beer. We went from weight loss to beer, which is where I would rather be. Modelo is no longer the number one beer in America. It is now Michelob Ultra, the number one beer in sales. Now. Of course, Modelo became number one after Bud Light, which had been number one for years, fell off of that top perch because so many people boycotted Bud Light when they had a transgender guy doing their ads for them. Here's the kicker, though. Bud Light is owned by Anheuser Busch InBev. AB InBev. Guess who owns Michelob Ultra. Yep, AB InBev. They found a way to get around it by using another product. I guess they win in the end. Sort of. But of course, AB InBev did take a big hit financially from that boycott. But maybe they'll recover now from Michelob Ultra. I don't know what to say. Tell me what your favorite beer is in the Getter and the Rumble Chats and the Substack Chat and also on X. And I'll. I'll see if I like it too. All right, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.

It was supposed to be only evident, but now the 2026 version is going to come in gas and plug in Hybrid versions only. Little by little, people. Little by little. The EV craze was overdone and these companies now need to repurpose themselves. Demand fell off a cliff last year and even a little bit the year before. Stop with all the EVs before it's too late. Well, Nissan is struggling. Like really struggling. You know that if you've been watching this program. So why not try something a little risky to stay alive? That risky thing is self driving technology. Nissan wants to challenge Tesla and some of the other companies doing this. In a recent demonstration of technology developed by Tesla and a British company called Wave, a Nissan sedan outfitted with 11 cameras, five radars and a next generation sensor. It's called LIDAR, not radar. LIDAR maneuvered its way through downtown Tokyo. That's not easy. Braking for red lights as well as pedestrians. No one was hurt. And other cars at intersections. Now that sedan is set to be available in 2027. Not many other details are out about it. As you guys know, I'm a big fan of self driving technology. That's because I know a lot of disabled people who have tried to rely on ride shares and city provided rides and things like that. And to tell you the truth, it doesn't work. These people are chained in their homes. Self driving cars could be very liberating for them and there's a lot of them out there. That's why I like that technology. All right, the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. This is actually a bill has moved closer to the House floor. The Energy Committee and commerce committee voted 50 to 1 to pass it. This is the bill that would make sure that new cars continue to have AM radios in the car. The argument is that they need it for safety. Of course, there's another reason for it. All the great right wing radio talk shows are on AM radio and a huge part of their voice will be silenced if they get taken out of cars or people are asked to have to pay extra for it. The problem is there's a sunset clause on this bill. It only will require it for another eight years. So a number of AM radio station owners are upset about that and because they'll have to just go back and start lobbying again for it in eight years. So they would like to have it be permanent. We'll see how that goes. All right, and now let's look at something really beautiful. Coming up for auction next week, or actually next month. Early next month at Sotheby's is a special 1950s Hudson. Specifically, it's a 1952 Hudson Wasp it's a two door brome that used to belong to none other than actor Steve McQueen. Steve McQueen had the greatest cars, didn't he? This 52 Wasp was a regular. It's a regular driving car. McQueen called it his Sunday go to church car. It's been loved. Well loved instead of used. It's got a few dents, it's got some paint, paint chips here and there. The odometer shows 63, 000 miles. That's not bad. Anyway, it's a beautiful car. Reminds me of the Hudson that Paul Newman voiced in the movie car. As if you remember, that was the older car that was like the mentor. All right, coming up, guess what we're finding inside those trucks going into Gaza. Supposed to have food in them. Yeah, they're smuggling weapons in them. We always knew that, didn't we? Are you surprised? Probably with UN Health. Also, this is the rabid response from Italians in Milan as they riot in anger against Italy's prime minister who decided not to recognize a terrorist Palestinian state. Well, that's why they say they're rioting, but they don't actually care about Palestinians. What they like to do is riot. American Sunrise early edition. We'll be right back.

FBI Director Kash Patel says the bureau is looking into more people and groups that could be connected to the Charlie Kirk assassination. But will anyone else ever really pay? The Trump Maha team issues a warning to pregnant women about Tylenol use, saying it could be linked to autism. The announcement seems to have caught everyone off guard. The UN General assembly, or is it the leader? Legion of Doom? I get them mixed up is beginning in New York City today. The theme of the General assembly this year, as it is every year, is bashing Israel. That and killing. Parking in Manhattan is all they do at the U.N. by the way. And ABC has lifted Jimmy Kimmel's week long suspension and he'll be back on the air tonight. Will anyone know the difference? See, no one's been watching that show for years anyway. American Sunrise Early Edition. You're watching this and it continues now. I can honestly say I've never watched the Jimmy Kimmel show live. I actually once got a tour of his control room while the show was going on from a friend of mine and I actually didn't watch the show. I was looking at all the buttons and the switching stuff. I actually didn't even watch it then. That's how great that program is. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. It's a Tuesday. Thank you so much for joining us on all the chat boards. Getter Rumble, people commenting on X and substack as well. Really appreciate all your comments, including those who really like my car segment. Thank you for that. I went on a limb pushing for that, so thank you so much. Joining us now is former Green Beret, former law enforcement officer, current podcaster Matt Tardeo, who knows what's going on both here and abroad when it comes to terrorism and threats. And so just quickly, I wanted to ask you this really quickly, especially from leaning on your former law enforcement officer, AKA expertise. It is Russia, shun. It is the big Jewish holidays right now. I did see a memo about Al Qaeda threats throughout the country, specifically against hospitals and stuff like that. But this is obviously houses of worship, both churches and synagogue. I get to watch them closely these next few days, don't we?
- [44:23]
B
Yeah, No, I mean, churches in particular down in Texas of all places as well, are the most targeted location when it comes to active shooters. A lot of people think it's schools. It's not. It's actually houses worship.
- [44:36]
A
Yeah. Because almost no one in the house of worship is armed. That's not the case at my house of worship. So please don't try us. If you come to our synagogue, you're gonna really pay. Let me just say that that way. All right, now let's go to Gaza, a place where there's are a lot of guns because you say there's good evidence and I believe. I believe you, but I'd like to get the details that weapons have been smuggled all along in some of these aid trucks that have been going. And you had some video evidence of it. I know you've been talking about it on your own social media platforms. This is nothing new, is it? But people, of course, a lot of people out there don't know about this.
- [45:10]
B
Yeah, you know, it was one of the things when I went to Gaza last week, I came out, I went over to the Kogat location where they, where they screen all of the humanitarian aid that's going into Gaza that's brought in from multiple different countries. Main crossing point it comes in is from Jordan. But, you know, they went to give me a tour like a lot of people have seen on social media of all of the aid that was stacked up on the other side. And I basically told the official from Kogat that, you know, one, I'm well aware that you guys have been getting contraband.
- [45:39]
A
Right.
- [45:39]
B
And he brings up, well, yeah, 120 tons of contraband over the last seven days, and on and on and on. I say, great. I also am well aware that they've been fighting war for the last two years. And the only mass amount of movement of things going in and out of the Gaza Strip is this humanitarian aid. Philadelphia corridor has been shut down. There's a, you know, blockade by land, if you will. The majority of the territory, land crossings are controlled by Israel. Then you have Egypt. The other land crossing. There's been a maritime blockade for the longest time, as Greta knows. So therefore, the only mass amount of material that's moving across the border is there. So they've got to be smuggling with 120 tons of contraband over the last week, as he just stated. I had to argue with this guy to get him to show me. He told me, yes, there is Semtex, yes, there is, you know, you know, equipment and things like that that we've got. And I argued back and forth until finally this official, who wishes to remain anonymous, agreed to take me into a room and showed me contraband. And wouldn't you know, it, hydrochloric acid happened to be one of the things on the table. Uniforms and equipment was some of the other stuff that was out there. And so that is how it's getting in and out, is it's moving on these humanitarian aid trucks, which makes perfect sense why, you know, the. The accusations against UNRA and the World Food Program just giving their stuff away and not having it strapped down and holding on to it and having it taken by Hamas. That makes sense why they're doing it. They can take and they can recover their own weapons and equipment that they've been using to fight this war off those humanitarian aid shipments, and they get to control the amount of food that's flowing into Gaza. The people over the GHF sites, the Palestinians that are out there, quite literally said that they did not receive any free humanitarian aid prior to the Gaza Humanitarian foundation arriving on the ground. They were confused. I think that's why we saw those sites getting overran the first day, is they were confused because they've never got aid for free, because they've been controlling, you know, and when I say they, I mean the UN rwa, along with the World Food Program, have been controlling the amount of food that's been going out because they've been infiltrated by Hamas, and Hamas is grabbing that aid. They're controlling. They're slowly releasing the amount of it to ensure that they have this constant, steady flow of aid coming across the border so that they can Smuggle in their weapons and equipment.
- [47:44]
A
Yeah, they work for Hamas. Let's just face it. The UN General assembly today is going to have a bunch of people who really basically are very much working with Hamas to prolong the war. It feels like the rest of the world just doesn't want to let Hamas go. I don't know, maybe they went to school together and they miss their old buddies. I don't know what the deal is there. But, Matt, this isn't just a jury rig kind of thing. That was done in response to October 7th and, oh, they're trying to supply Hamas. This, as you contend, was the plan all along to basically do something so horrific to Israel that they would have to do a full deployment and fight Hamas on a larger scale. And they were all ready to make sure that there would be thousands of civilian victims of this, a food crisis, all the things that they created in the first place to make this happen. This was a grand plan from the beginning, wasn't it?
- [48:34]
B
Yeah, that's my, that's my personal assessment, is my personal opinion. You know, if I asked you today, Jake, if Egypt went in and they. And they bombed the Israeli Defense Force operating inside of Gaza City, would anybody stop them? If Turkey went in and bombed the Israeli Defense Force right now operating Gaza City, would anybody stop them? Especially when they stood up and said, we're just stopping genocide. In your opinion, would anybody stop them? Answer is gonna be no.
- [48:55]
A
Right, of course.
- [48:56]
B
Exactly. So, yeah, one, you know, Hamas had, you know, bodies of hostages and hostages prior to October 7th. They'd conducted terror attacks prior to October 7th. They have done all these nasty things prior to October 7th. Before they launched that attack on October 7th. They had infiltrated the UN, RWA, they had infiltrated the World Food Program, they had infiltrated these different UN organizations inside of Gaza. I was able to see a piece of intelligence, and I'm going to call it a target density map of Gaza City. You can't walk down a city block inside of Gaza City without crossing five different legitimate military targets. I saw how Israel goes about assessing and, you know, basically validating whether or not these targets are going to be legal strikes. And yes, they maintain all the intelligence on these different targets. When I see this targeted density map, I know I, I know this to be true now. And you take a look at the, the density of tunnels and everything they built up over the last 20 years prior to launching this attack. They infiltrated the media by having their media organizations reaching out and contacting these people. Even the PIJ spokesperson The Palestinian Islamic Jihad spokesperson after they got captured by Israel was given an interrogation. And it's not like, you know, people typically think like Guantanamo Bay, face in the water interrogation. I'm talking like legitimate sit down and talk. These are modern interrogation techniques. And he even admitted that the media, you know, prior to anything happening, they have a press release basically that they end up giving out to the media. The media then clears that press release with them. And if they don't like the press release, they tell them to change it.
- [50:21]
A
Why?
- [50:21]
B
Because if the media puts out something counter narrative, then they get cut off from these spokespeople over inside of Gaza. And so they've been controlling the narrative point in case the also hospital over in eastern Gaza when they claimed that an Israeli bomb had killed 500 people in the parking lot of this hospital. Then we come to find out it was an actual PIJ rocket that had malfunctioned and crashed into the parking lot. It didn't even kill 500 people, it killed a dozen, I think. But because of the way everybody wants to stick to their narrative and believe the Ministry of Health inside Gaza, they pin 500 deaths on the PIJ. So all of that was done prior to. So they're controlling the narrative. Then they launch October 7th, which is so horrendous, Israel has no choice but to respond. And the environment is so target dense that they have no choice but to wage war the way they've been doing. So and again, it's all legal in the forms of the international community, but for some reason we want to take it, we want to call it genocide and everything else when there's still 20 hostages that remain hopefully alive inside of Gaza.
- [51:19]
A
It's.
- [51:19]
B
It's insane to me, my friend. It's absolutely insane.
- [51:22]
A
Yeah. I only have about 30 seconds left, but I have to ask you, because this is so unusual, there's this intramural battle within the Republican Party between Congresswoman Nancy Mace and Congressman Corey Mills. Nancy Mace is going off on him, saying he has stolen valor. Now, of course, this was all instigated by the fact that Cory Mills was one of the few Republicans who voted not to censure Ilhan Omar. And there's a lot of questions about his connections with certain Islamist groups. Nancy Mace is really going after him with the. With a vengeance. What do you think about all this?
- [51:56]
B
Yeah, you know, I know he's been hit with accusations of stolen valor. I took a look over some of the things that are floating around the media. I haven't seen his service record, but you know, him having quotes on his Bronze Star medal, for example, that state that he did certain things that he wasn't there for. You know, that's not Corey Mills filling that out. That's other people. He doesn't get a look at what's written on his award before it ends up getting sent up anyways. So if that type of stuff is on there, that's just on there. It doesn't mean that he didn't earn that. Awards just kind of is how it is. So I'm going to go counter narrative here. When it goes down to him being blown up inside of Iraq, I know plenty of people that have been blown up and haven't gotten recognition for it. It's just kind of the name of the game. And where it goes, as far as him not censoring Elliot Omar, you know, he might just be going with First Amendment and wanted to make sure that all of that is solid. Although I don't agree with that statement, I can certainly understand the argument from that. But that side of the House. Right. I don't believe, just because I don't appreciate what people are saying that they should be censored. But I also understand the difference between your First Amendment or your Second Amendment and not a single amendment in this Constitution is absolute. You can take a look at the Second Amendment. You can take a look. I mean, every single amendment, right, like you have a right to bear arms, but. But not all the time. You have to get background checks, et cetera, when it comes to doing these things. So I think it's time that we do look at the First Amendment in that. In that way, because a lot of the speech is inciting violence. And again, I don't agree with that statement. I think Ilya Omar definitely needs to be censored for some of the things that she said.
- [53:17]
A
Well, let's see what happens with this Corey Mills thing. I wonder if someone's going to come up with some definitive proof. One way or the other, someone's going to end up with egg on their face of this Nancy Mace, Corey Mills fight. But I'll be absolutely. Matt Tardeu, thank you so much for joining us. Have a great rest of your week, and thanks for all your work all over the world. Thank you.

Looking downtown from about the vantage point of view, this camera or so behind it, you would see the UN Building, and that is where the UN General assembly is going to begin today. President Trump scheduled to speak at 9:50 9:50am this morning. You'll see it. Whenever that does start, you will see it on American Sunrise, probably. But if it goes late, it'll be on Real America's Voice be on War Room. You'll see it. We'll put it on live here. And I'm gonna have David Brody come here and join me. Listen, David, we know that the UN General assembly people always make jokes, oh, it's bad for parking and it's bad for traffic. But you know what? I want to move past those jokes for a second because it's a lot worse than that. Look, obviously I'm looking forward to President Trump speaking, maybe one or two other leaders, but I don't know if there's a concentration of more evil in one place than there is when we have the UN General Assembly. It's just incredible. And it's even worse this year because coming into the UNGA this year, you have all these countries declaring that they recognize a Palestinian state, which of course doesn't exist. There is no leader. There are no borders. It's just a terrorist group. There's really nothing Palestinian in really any name. These guys have outdone themselves this year. It's going to be hard for me to stomach. I just, you know, just a personal comment, that's all I can say. Well, I agree with you on that. Here's the question. It's a legitimate question. Why isn't it about President Trump even? Why is any US President, or at least any US Conservative president speaking to the United Nations? Seriously, I mean, why to the UN General Assembly? I mean, it's not even a rhetorical question, Jake, I'm curious to get your take on that, because, you know, look, they are a disaster, first of all. Let's just run some numbers here, okay? Roughly. And you know, you got to count for inflation and the whole thing because it's been around since 1945. But roughly, the United States gives the United nations about 10 billion, 15 billion or so a year. The Trump administration gave the UN $10 billion in the first Trump term. This term, however, much different, projected to probably give them about $4 billion less. It could be a whole lot more than that. So good for them that they're not giving as much money. And I understand, I guess you have to do is this, I mean, I don't want to call it a dog and pony show, but I mean, to a degree, I guess I understand why you have to go to the UN Maybe to, I don't know, he's not trying to court favor with anybody. I mean, he's his own man. I guess you've got to do it. But why, Jake? I don't really understand it. I mean, and by the way, let me just simply say, Trump went from mocking laughter the first time we remember that, the mocking laughter at the UN to now, not just flattery, but downright respect for the man and what he's doing. And by the way, he doesn't like the marble there at the U.N. he says it's cheap.

Yes. And just leveling with them. That would be fine by me. Even if you give the same speech every year because they don't ever seem to learn. And this time, maybe also, how about this? How about a threat to say, you know, that $4 billion we're cutting, it's going to be another 4 billion next year and another after that unless you get yourself straightened out. That wouldn't be bad. But hey, we got to listen to what he has to say. It should be about 9:50, so you'll see it on the American Sunrise show, which comes up next.
