President Trump cancels a budget bargaining meeting with the top congressional Democrats. He says it's because their demands are just outrageous and too outrageous to discuss. A government shutdown now looks a lot more likely. Oh no. But President Trump did have something to say to the folks at the UN Warning them about their open borders, their support for Hamas and more. But not before an odd and frankly scary moment that may have been a serious security breach at the UN Building. Jimmy Kimmel returns to the airwaves, but dozens of key ABC stations still refuse to air the program. After what he said last night, I don't think I can blame them. Will ABC continue to go to war for him? And in case you're wondering, left wing personalities haven't learned anything from the Charlie Kirk murder as kooky former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann tells conservative commentator Scott Jennings that he's next. And students across the country are facing pushback as they try to start new Turning point USA chapters at colleges and high schools. But one top state official in Texas is fighting along with those students. Those stories and more as 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 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. Welcome to this Wednesday here in American SUNRISE EARLY edition. And when I tell you it's been a busy several hours of news, I mean it. There's going to be a lot of stories that you're just going to have to keep and stay tuned here on Real America's Voice all morning and watch the next the big show, the American Sunrise show, because there's a lot to get to, including, for example, the guilty verdicts all the way down the line for Ryan Routh, the guy who tried to kill President Trump at the golf course last summer. That's something I'm just gonna be only gonna be able to mention briefly. And the fact that apparently he tried to kill himself as the verdict was read. I mean, unbelievable stuff, a lot of things going on. But I wanna make sure that we spin things forward to things that you can be prepared for going forward. And helping you to do that right now is independent investigative journalist and the guy behind the WC Dispatch on Substack, which everyone should subscribe to and check out. His name is Walter. Kurt. And Walter, I want to spin forward things because now we need to take a look at the next stories that are on the horizon, and that is the possibility of a government shutdown. And I could do a whole store, a whole show probably once every couple of weeks about how government shutdowns are no big deal, and people should stop thinking it's the horrible thing that it is. But let's just get to the nitty gritty first. President Trump decided not to meet with Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader, because he said their demands are outrageous. But actually, if they were demanding anything at all, it would be outrageous because these same two guys just a few months ago were all in favor of just another stopgap spending bill. Keep it going, we'll worry about the stuff later. But now that Trump is president, they have demand. So even if they were demanding a paperclip, you could argue that that would be hypocritical, that would be outrageous. But they are asking for some things like, oh, I don't know, free health care for illegal aliens. I mean, the president's never going to go for that. Yeah, I saw all their demands. The list is so absurd. That beggars belief, really. But I agree with you. You know, I don't care about the shutdown. You know, in fact, I wrote a whole article about talking about. Jeff, just shut it down. Who cares? I mean, like, it's. It's such a joke that the media still likes to spin it, and a lot of the mainstream media and a lot of the legacy media likes to still believe. As if Americans are going to suddenly lose their minds over the. Over a government shutdown. I just don't think we're there anymore. I don't think it has the same sort of effect that it used to. And I think that's possibly because during COVID the government was shut down anyway and no one did anything for years and nothing burned to the ground. The world didn't end. It seemed like everything moved along just fine without government being involved every single day of every hour. I don't think they have any leverage anyway, what Hakeem and Schumer have, they have no leverage in this scenario. So if I'm President Trump, I wouldn't negotiate with him at all. Let him shut it down. Yeah. You know, there's another aspect of this, too, that I think people are forgetting. You know, the record highs that the market has been making just about every other day. It was down yesterday, but just a little bit. It's giving President Trump a lot more leverage on a number of things. I notice that every time that the market sets a new all time high, President Trump comes out with a statement that might hurt one or two businesses. But that's a good time for him to kind of take A higher priority over their profits because they're at record profits, that they're at record numbers. So I think this is another thing, just like that. We've already had months and months and months of a reduced federal workforce because of Doge and things like that. No one has set themselves on fire or gone crazy over that. So why not allow this game of chicken to go on? Because literally in this case, you're not driving over a cliff or having a head on collision and it's just going to be more of the same. You know, Walter, sometimes the best things about President Trump, I would consider that a blunt thing. This is another blunt thing, is that when he puts these things, blunt truths into regular language, and he did that yesterday at the UN when he talked to the Europeans about a bunch of things, browbeated them over the fact that they're literally giving money to Russia as they're fighting a war against them. Here's how he said it. Check it out. China and India are the primary funders of the ongoing war by continuing to purchase Russian oil. But inexcusably, even NATO countries have not cut off much Russian energy and Russian energy products, which, as you know, I found out about two weeks ago, and I wasn't happy. Think of it, they're funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one? In the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs, which would stop the bloodshed, I believe, very quickly. But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations, all of you are gathered here right now, would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures. Yeah, you know, there was a lot of things going on at the UN Yesterday. We showed the video at the top of the program where the escalator went out. As soon as I saw that, I thought, is that a security breach? And I decided not to post about it because it's not like, oh, people are going to think I'm alarmist. But then some people a lot smarter than I am asked the same question. But then, of course, you know, he gave that speech, he told them that. He told them very bluntly the truth. Boy, they don't want to hear that. And I got to tell you, that entire issue, I was throwing very cold water on this event yesterday. I think the UN General assembly is like a collection of some of the most evil people in the world. I'm glad that President Trump gave them what for, but honestly, it's a little Scary to see all the stuff that we saw yesterday and then to have to say to ourselves, oh, well, you know, that's the U.N. i'm not willing to shrug that off anymore. I'm not either in my comment yesterday was turn the UN To a homeless shelter. I've been saying that for about five years, though, so it's not really that new for me. But just the fact that they decided to be so petty. So petty that they're gonna shut down the escalator as he comes in and make his wife almost trip, by the way, which is what pissed me off more than anything. I don't know if everybody saw that. Everyone's talking about Trump stopping, but Melania looked like she nearly fell over. But then you continue into it, and then he's right. As he gets up for the podium speech, he has to inform the room that his teleprompter is not working and that. What did they think? He wasn't gonna be able to give the speech without a teleprompter. I mean, it's such petty tyrant behavior that it's just. It was obnoxious to watch. But what did they do? All they did is they got an additional 40 minutes of Trump freestyling on them, which didn't go well for them at all. You know, it was absurd to watch. And I do agree with the security issue. You know, someone was talking about the idea of them freezing the target beforehand. I wouldn't want any of our officials anywhere near these people. I mean, these people obviously do not like America. They obviously do not care about us, and they obviously have zero, and I mean zero respect for us. So why on earth should we give them any money? I think we should defund the entire platform. And, you know, maybe we can turn the building into a homeless shelter. Maybe we turn into a shelter for veterans and put Trump, Trump's homeless shelter for veterans on top of it. Yeah, they kill parking. I can't stand when you're driving in Manhattan, and block after block is only for cars with diplomatic plates. Drives me nuts. All right, Walter, now back to a story that you and I have been really at the forefront of pounding the table on trying to get everyone to pay more attention to. To this governor's race in Virginia and the absurdity of Democrat Abigail Spanberger. This is someone who is not a moderate. This is someone who really comes from the far left of the party. Don't know why they decided to back her in a state where they need moderate Democrats or at least have to pretend that they're moderates. Now, there's mixed news on this front right now. The counties in Virginia that are GOP leaning are absolutely killing it with early voting. They're really outpacing as far as the number of early votes filed and sent in compared to the Democrat counties. So that's very encouraging. But latest poll, and I don't know how reliable these polls are, but I have to tell you that it did, it was published, still has Spamberger 12 points up on winsome Earl Sears, the Republican. Make this make sense, Walter. Well, I can make it make sense really easily. That CNU poll is from the Watson group and this is the exact same poll that had Governor Youngkin losing by 10. So it's not necessarily what I would call a reliable poll. Plus, my favorite part about it is if you go through their, go through their poll on that the CNU group, if you read it, it's hysterical. It shows Governor Glenn Youngkin has a plus six approval rating, but his lieutenant governor is minus 12. So how is there an 18 point swing between a lieutenant governor and the governor if the governor is popular? That doesn't make any sense at all. I mean it's completely, it's a complete nonsense poll. Even had it had Jason Myers down eight somehow to Jo, to Jones, which makes no sense. I mean every other poll has been to me, these people, this is just done to try and to hurt the Republicans in the, in the upcoming election. That's the only thing that I think you're doing. But I actually think it's going to work in the opposite effect. I think what's really that's going to do is it's going to drive more Republicans to the polls and that it's going to cause apathy for their, for the Democrats. I think you're going to have a Hillary effect. I don't know what Spanberger's doing. I've never seen a candidate that acts like this before, doesn't respond any questions. She physically ran away from the camera the other day when Nick Minock actually asked her question about the trans stuff. She ran away. I mean, it's unbelievable stuff. Watch it again. Let's watch it again. Because I showed this sound by some of my viewers yesterday and there was a lot of them who posted on Getter and Rumble. Oh, that can't be real. Or is that. I can't believe it. So let's watch it again. I promise you this is real. This is Abigail Spanberger answering a question about the trans issue in schools. Check it out. 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 circumstances this legal case plays out is really one of. We've had court cases 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 dollars to our public school 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 to ability, our economy. I mean, what. You know, Walter, this isn't New York or California. How can the Virginia Democrats who have made their bones for decades in presenting people who they at least say are moderate, put a woman out there like that and give her a script to answer a question like that, which is no answer at all. That was. I love that clip. And, you know, I hadn't seen it in a couple of days because it's just so absurd. You know, everyone was asking me if she went to. If she was. I was getting calls about this clip saying, did she go to Kamala School of words salad. I mean, what was that? I mean, it was, you know, do we have white Kamala Harris here? Is that what we've got here? And I was like, I think that's. That's what it looks like. I mean, she couldn't answer the question at all. And then shortly after this, she actually runs away. You know, she runs away from the camera and goes running away and has her staffer run interference for her. Because that's, you know, what's amazing about this, though, is this was the first time she's been asked a question. First time she's really been asked a question, and that's what comes out of her mouth. So, you know, this is why she's hiding from the media. This is why she doesn't want to have questions. This is why she's having such a late debate. She's hoping people don't find out how radical she is. That's what she's hoping for. That's what she's betting on. She's hoping people don't figure it out until she gets through the race. And so she's pretty far into it. And verbally voting is going for a while. But I'll tell you what, I think that we have a real opportunity to win in Virginia and people need to pay a lot of attention to it because if we've got this turnout number that's showing up and I think you've got a real opportunity with all the stuff that happened from Charlie Kirk, that you may be able to really get people energized and get out to the polls. So if we're going to get rid of this woman and make sure she doesn't make it in there, I think. I think we really have a shot. Yeah. Well, I just can't believe that this has gone on without the energy before and maybe this will happen now. Walter, Kurt, thank you so much for joining us and thanks for helping us be on the forefront of the Virginia story. I appreciate it. Thanks, Jake. Thanks for having me on. All right.

Hey, welcome back, everyone. I'm sure none of you watched it last night and kudos to you for not. Jimmy Kimmel came back on the air last night, although he kind of didn't because about 60 ABC stations didn't air it. The ones that are owned by nexstar and Sinclair, still not willing to air the show. I'm going to give you a quick recap of what he said. He didn't really apologize. He said, however, the closest thing he said is that he didn't mean to make light of a young man's death. Well, no one accused him of that. No one was saying that he was making fun of the death. What we were saying is that he was attacking the people who were grieving, including close friends of his, and saying that they were the ones responsible for his death. That was a joke. I know he wasn't trying to make a joke out of it because that wasn't a joke. And Emily Finn, we bring in Real America's Voice contributor Emily Finn. Emily, listen, we know how these things go. That wasn't an ad lib. You know how many times a joke or a comment on a late night TV show gets edited and vetted and they go through it over and over before it's put in the teleprompter. It wasn't an ad lib. It wasn't a mistake. It was meant to be an attack. And if you're a sponsor thinking about sponsoring this show anywhere in America right now, I don't see how you stick with this guy. Emily. Absolutely not. And I don't think that, you know, Jimmy Kimmel, it's not just this show. We are showing pictures of him hosting award shows. People are just going to distance themselves from this guy, just like nexstar and Sinclair are doing. You know, his show may be back on air for now, but this is going to be a business problem for ABC moving forward and they're going to have to address why, you know, on these local stations this show isn't airing. They're going to replace him eventually if this continues to happen. Yeah. Emily, unlike you, who is a superstar and you went right to national news, I spent years working at local affiliates like this, like in Bangor, Maine and in Decatur, Illinois. And let me tell you something, back then in the 90s without so even without social media or really the Internet is competition, the salespeople at those stations had A very difficult job. I really admired them. They got doors slammed in their face all the time. They had to knock on doors of these small businesses. I can only imagine how hard it is for them now. By the way, both those stations I worked at were ABC affiliates, at least back then. I think one of them is switched. But I'm telling you, it can't be easy. I mean, you're not getting your local auto parts guy. And he's like, listen, you want me to put money not only for that show but for your station when you're airing this guy? I can't do it. I feel really sorry for them. Well, you know, the people in those local communities, if getting news coverage in their local community gets better ratings than Jimmy Kimmel, I think he only gets like 26,000 a night. I mean, it's quite embarrassing for him. People have been posting on social media saying, can this photo of a hot dog get more views than Jimmy Kimmel? He. And usually it does, every single time. So this, at the end of the day is just going to be a business decision. You know, I think he could have went further in his apology, can even call it that, of what he said about Charlie Kirk. And hopefully he doubles down and says, yes, this was wrong and doesn't continue to promote violence. Yeah, you know, I'm going to try to find a local salesperson. I don't know if they'd be willing to come on the air and just talk about what they're dealing with right now because it'd be really interesting. I don't know, maybe just to talk to them for one second. Put the video on here on this program. Emily Finn, thank you so much for joining us. We'll see you in the 8 to 10am hour. Thank you, Jake.

And shop now@nflshop.com Hazy morning here in New York, second day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. I'm rushing out to services after I do my hit at 920. I am, I am well fed despite juggling doing this during the holiday. Let's take a look at where the markets will begin today. Muted start but a green start for all the major indices. Actually the NASDAQ is a, that's a decent gain, third of a percent. That's not bad. Look at crude oil though. Back up to the $64 a barrel level. That's still cheap but that's it's been pretty much that high point the last few weeks. Now let's look at bitcoin really quickly. Bitcoin's been struggling last couple of weeks and it's at 113 so up this morning but again about 10,000 off of its all time highs. Hey, economic doom and gloom is canceled for now. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development or the OECD for some reason that's a very well respected outfit. They are revising upward their economic outlook for the entire world, but it's really all about the United States. They say that the United States, their economic performance so far this year has been better than expected and so they need to revise upward their expectations for the economy. So in other words, the end of the world, the recession, the depression is not coming like the mainstream media wants you to believe. Of course, now I'm going to have to knock on all the doors of my neighbors and tell them that I'm not going to resort to cannibalism like I told them last week. That's going to be awkward. Thanks a lot OECD for making me scared. Okay, I'm just kidding. But honestly, stop with the doom and gloom. Usually gold goes up when economic fears are rising. But as I just showed you there, you know, we're almost at $3,800 an ounce for gold and we did cross the $3,800 threshold just a few, just yesterday and the day before. Now the economic forecast is better, but gold is still going up and that's probably because of the Fed lowering interest rates. When you have lower interest rates, the dollar kind of usually loses its value a little bit. So the goal has to go up because you need more dollars to buy the same amount of gold. But gold has been a pretty good investment this year, to say the least at these all time highs. So make sure you pay attention to that. I want to make sure everyone understands this. All the mainstream media outlets that are reporting that H1B visa fee that President Trump has slapped on any company that hires an H1B visa foreigner has to pay $100,000 a year, and that's pretty hefty. They're all reporting on it. They're talking about again, that's a doom and gloom story for them. They're talking about how this is terrible, terrible, terrible. They all are making an ethical violation, in my opinion. I've worked at these mainstream media outlets and let me tell you something. About 10 years or so ago, all of them brought in a massive number of H1B visa workers, most of them from South Asia, to run the back offices of their websites and some of the other technical aspects of their television news operations. Mostly the website stuff, which was all working fine without them. It wasn't like there were no Americans who could run these websites. I was working at one particular mainstream news media outlet that had a very strong website. It was doing extremely well. In fact, even though I was running shows, I had an editorial column on one that shot to number one every day. I never had any technical problems with it. Suddenly they undermined the American workers and brought in these cheap H1B visa workers. This is not what H1B visa was meant to do. And any news organization, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, all of them who cover this need to have a disclosure and say, oh, by the way, we did this too. We're doing it now. And they should have that in little ask in italics at the bottom or beginning of a story. They won't do it, so I'll do it for you. All right, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Moving America.

The latest International Institute of Highway Safety report on rear passenger safety has some good news and bad news for most American made vehicles. Now the good news is that American made SUVs are really safe for the folks who sit in the back seats, the back rows, usually kids and stuff like that. Those are pretty safe vehicles if there's a rear end collision or something like that. The bad news is that almost no Detroit minivans or pickup trucks got anything close to a good rating for rear passenger safety. Now the pickup truck I can get, I get that. But minivans, which a lot of people buy thinking that's the safest option for a family with a lot of kids. That's really a tough situation for them to have to deal with this morning. The fact that it's much safer to go with an suv. Hey look, I'm one of those guys who wasn't intimidated by a minivan. I had one for years. Didn't make me feel insecure in my manhood. But I have to say when I switched over to the Toyota Highlander midsize suv, that was a better car. But I got to tell you, I did not realize that it's actually safer to use the suv. So anyway, the IHS is continuing to recommend the back seat is the safest place for kids to ride in for in most vehicles. But you know, Chrysler Pacifica and all those other American made minivans need to work on that. I'll tell you that right now. Okay. Autozone gave us a very interesting economics lesson yesterday. Autozone. I love those auto parts stores by the way. It's one of the few places you can go to in America where you still get really great customer service. That's true of all of them. Autozone, there's a ton of them Pep Boys stuff like that. But now they had better same store sales at AutoZone during the middle three months of the year, April through June. That's the good news. The bad news is their profits still went down. So you know what that means? That means their costs are up. If they're making more sales but their profits are down, that means their costs are up. And that's an inflation red flag. The markets didn't like it. Their Stock went down 4 or 5% yesterday. But if they get more reports like that from other companies, expect some issues there. Again, be nice if their interest rates were lower that would cover and cut a lot of their costs, things that they have to borrow. So we'll see if that spurs a little bit more interest rate cutting in the coming months. Another one bites the dust. The Jeep Gladiator Pickup 4XE was supposed to be a plug in hybrid. Next year they're getting rid of that. They're not going to do that now. Now it will only be a gas powered engine. As you know, I am collecting these decisions to move away from EVs and plug in hybrids. Like a 14 point buck that I would collect at a punting lodge. It's like this is like a, this is like a trophy on my wall. Folks. I don't like EVs. I'm sorry, I just don't. Especially for something Like a pickup. You want to buy an EV sedan or something like that, great, go for it. And I'm certainly not infringing on your right to do so. I just don't think it's a good look for Jeep or for pickups to be ev. That's my opinion. You can bash me on the chat if you don't agree. All right. This story actually does make me sad. However, the man known as the father of the Mazda Miata has passed away. His name is Tom Matano. He was born in Nagasaki in 1947. By the way, editorial note. Can you imagine what it was like to be born in Nagasaki in 1947, less than two years after the A bomb went off over that town? But anyway, that's another story. He became a designer for Mazda and he was the top mind behind the creation of the Miata. Now, Tom was a hero to Miata enthusiasts because not only was he the designer, but he used to show up at those Miata conventions and do online appearances. They loved him. I know I've bashed the Miata on this program as a chick car. It is a chick car and there's nothing to be ashamed of. But it's a chick car. But hey, it's a cute car. And Tom Matano, great guy and it was really fun to listen, listen to and watch. We're going to miss him. And it's a cute car. What can I tell you? All right, coming up, if you think Turning Point USA doesn't face discrimination, and even in red states, you're in for a rude awakening.

He says it's because their demands are just outrageous. A government shutdown now looks a lot more likely. Oh no. But President Trump did have something to say to the folks at the UN Warning them about their open borders, their support for Hamas and their other nonsense. But this was not before an odd and frankly scary moment that may have been a serious security breach.

And students across the country, even in Texas, are facing pushback as they try to start new turning point USA chapters at colleges and high schools. But one top state official in Texas is going along in the fight with them now, and that may change everything. American Sunrise EARLY EDITION continues now Foreign welcome back to American Sunrise EARLY Edition. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us. And a special thank you to everyone on the Getter Chat. The Rumble Chat commenting Also on X and Substack, a lot of places you can watch and you can comment on all of them. And I actually read them and a lot of times I learn from the stuff that you're saying. So please keep it up. Hey, I want to get right to this story out of Texas because I think a lot of people would have been surprised if I told you today, tomorrow, a week ago that there is a group of students in Texas that are trying to start a new Turning Point USA chapter and they're getting pushback. What? Are you kidding me? Joining us right now is Tom Slocum. He's been a statewide candidate in Texas for office. He's a Republican strategist. Tom, what the heck is going on? This is in the Houston area, is that correct? Yes. You know, this is on the west part of Houston, one of the most Republican parts of town. And we thought we would get pushed back in other parts of the county, of course, but not in Republican heavy House District 133, Spring Branch ISD. What Republicans did is we, we stood up with these kids. But what Democrats did is they actually went after these four teachers and these students in Spring Branch isd. And it's absolutely disgusting and despicable, especially in the light of, of the assassination of our beloved Charlie Kirk. And any Republican not calling them out right now, calling the Democrats out for what they're doing is complicit. There's a whole bunch of them that aren't speaking out. And I don't understand it. Jake, right now millions are mourning millions of students and millions of people around the world, but especially students are mourning Charlie's death across the country and wanting to do everything they can to organize to save America and bring people back to God for Charlie, a man that can no longer speak. And here we have these demon possessed zombies, these anti American Democrats. They want to get in the way and stop these young patriotic Americans from exercising their right to assemble and their freedom of speech. And look, we're opening 120,000 chapters of TP USA students, which is Club America, to spread the word and about how great our country actually is. We know Charlie loved America. So do we. And so does Ken Paxton. And he is the only statewide elected official in Texas that spoke out immediately and said, kids, I am here for you. Jack Robertson, I am here for you. The kids in Spring Branch isd, you're going to get your chapter. He's holding an event today here in Houston that's going to be packed solid. We're expecting around 200 students and 100 local patriots is going to pack out the ballroom, maximum capacity of the hotel. And it's to honor Charlie Kirk and the formation of Club America at Stratford High School. So this was Stratford High School inside Spring Branch ISD in Houston, Texas. And Jack Robertson, he is a standout student and one of these evil Democrat witches. In particular, this, the vice president of the Spring Branch Democrats, Natalie Herpin, who surprised she voted in the Texas Republican primary. Jake and I know you and I have talked a lot about closing primaries, but this is one reason we need to. Wouldn't it be very strange if the president or the vice president of the Spring Branch Democrats was a registered Republican when it kind of exposed their whole game? And that's why Rhinos in Texas have been fighting me and been fighting all the other patriots, the grassroots here that want these primaries closed, these Democrats across over the exact types who come and vote in our primaries for rhinos and Republican like candidates like Mano Da against conservatives like John Perez. It happened here in Houston In House District 133 last cycle, Jake, and it must end in. God bless Attorney General Paxton for acting like I said, when no one else would. That's an embarrassing moment to be a Republican in Texas when you only have one statewide elected official standing up for kids that deserve the right. And by the way, I have to let you know, Brian Harrison is also doing an excellent job standing up against the machine when no one else will at Texas A and M. That's a separate story, Jake, but I have to mention that Giga Maggie's Because General Mark Welch is no longer there promoting DEI and all the woke nonsense that the left has installed in that university and the Karl Rove types rolled over and let happen. And the same Karl Rove types, you know, wouldn't stand up for the children. The, the members of the Spring Branch ISD school board, you know, they sat there on their hands until General Paxton acted. And that's why he's going to be here tonight to show these kids that he cares. And I'm going to be there, Jake. I'll be. I'll be filming it and hopefully I can get you some footage. But it's crazy what's going on here in Houston. And I know that you've got your own thoughts on it as well. And it's something that we need to talk about more about here on Real America's Voice because I know this isn't the only place in America where this has happened yet. It's happened already and we know it'll happen in the future. This is just straight out of the, you know, the playbook for the Democrats on how to stifle freedom of speech for conservatives, particular young voices, which Donald Trump has done much better at. And so all they can do is try to silence this, Jake, and silence these kids. And we're not going to stand for it. Yeah. You know, yeah. A big part of what I try to do in this program is preemption, anticipating what the Democrats and the left are going to say or weak minded Republicans are going to say about a particular incident and immediately go after it before they can even say it. So here's what they're going to say, Tom, and everyone watching, they're going to say, oh, well, it's not about Charlie Kirk or TP usa. It's because we're not so comfortable with very politicized groups inside high schools. Maybe we should keep the. And that is a lie. If these kids were forming a pro environment group or a group about some other, some other civil rights issue, they would be applauded. That's right. I have to say something else, Jake. It's very important for people to know they should be holding this event tonight on school property at the stadium or the gymnasium where they can fit a lot more people than a small hotel conference room. You know, and these kids were told, from what I understand, told by members of the school board and others are the leadership of the school that, you know, you can't do something like this on campus. Now if that's not true, I would love to hear otherwise. But as of a few days ago when we were looking to host this event, there was no school board member coming forward say, hey, let's go. Hold it right here on school property where they belong with all their friends. And maybe their friends might want to come, you know, and be able to invite everyone in the school if they want to come. But instead we're being forced to go to an off campus location where we have a limited capacity and where we have limited parking and it's not convenient, you know, so it's not fair straight out of the gate. And any of these school board members, Chris Ernest or Lisa Alpey or any of these people listening right now who are probably going to try to smear me for doing this segment, by the way, Jake, you know, they need to know that it's their responsibility to actually be leaders and stand up for these students and allow them to do this on campus, allow them to hold huge events with hundreds, if not thousands of students. If they all want to come on campus and there's nothing that they can do to stop it. And we know that they're in bed with the teachers union because we saw what they did with Mono to Isla. We saw when they brought over 3,000 votes to make sure he won. That's state representative Mono to Ilo, who's totally in bed. They canceled the Democrat primary in HD 133, just like they did in Date Feelings House District 21. And they do it to control everything from head to toe, from the, from the top of the offices all the way down to the school board. They want their hands on all of it. They don't want conservatives, they don't want America First Trump loving Republicans to ever take over their precious school board who they think should be governed by Democrats and influenced by Democrats and, you know, allow fear and intimidation by Democrats and then not call it out. You know, that's the worst part. They actually won't call out the Democrats and they won't because they rely on them to get elected, Jake. That's why. Well, you know, I mean, yeah, this is one of the things that I notice in almost every organization, especially after it gets strong. And this is true of political parties, is true of charities, it's true of other organizations. They start getting interested in doing what's right for their older and more powerful members. If you're a Republican in Texas and you're not gonna go to bat for young people, ask yourself why? Is it because you're uncomfortable with high school students being political? That's crazy. Or is it because maybe you're worried it's a new generation that's gonna move things away from the things that you're focusing on? I'm sorry, folks, but you're gonna have to do that. That's what about, that's not even about. Not just about politics. It's also just about being a parent. At some point you gotta say, this is for the next generation, not about me. This is why unions have collapsed in this country. They're all about their older and retired members. And they don't. And this is even true of the uaw. I'm going off the topic just a little bit, but the point being, unless you're willing to go to bat for new young people joining a movement, your movement's going to die. So you got to be there for them. So I'm glad you're doing this for them tonight. And tell us about how Attorney General Paxton is. I mean, is he going to just speak or is he doing something legislatively or legally? Well, he has an investigation, actually, and that's another reason. Look, Chris Ernest had to make a statement yesterday. He made me this long winded statement attacking Texas scorecard saying that they were incorrect. Well, I've got news for you, Chris Earnest. The two sponsors that were supposed to be the sponsors for this group that were intimidated by Natalie Herpin and her friends, they are not the now sponsors. Okay? We had to go find two new sponsors because the previous two were successfully victims of being intimidated by the Democrats. Right. They were successfully intimidated. What the Democrats did was successful and they don't want to talk about that. They want to pretend like everything's okay. We have sponsors for Club America chapter now. Don't worry, folks, we have it under control. No, you don't have it under control. You don't have Natalie Herpin under control. Her and her friends are voting in the Republican primary. And if you call yourself a Republican, Chris Earnest and Lisa Alpey, you should have a problem with that. You shouldn't want to a bunch of Democrats voting in your primary. But they do because that's the only way they get elected to offices. That's the only way motto gets elected. That's the only way Dave Feeling gets elected. That's the only way they, they hold any kind of power at all is with the Democrat vote. The same way the speaker of the House, they held onto that for so long through Dave Feeling and all these other yo yos running around like Dustin Burroughs who relied on Democrat votes to be speaker. I'm sorry. It's the truth. You know, I mean, we've had a slightly more conservative session of Tex Ledge since he took over, but it wasn't by leaps and bounds and they wasted a lot of time and they didn't do what they should have done during regular sessions. So there's a lot of hurdles we have in Texas. We have deep red districts that are being held by rhinos because they cancel the Democrat primary. And they have all their teachers union, retired teachers, 3,000 of them plus come and vote in our Republican primary. This is why we have to close the primaries in Texas. We're in the process of doing it. There's a way to do it and we're going through it right now. There's already been a lawsuit filed in a Amarillo court, I believe. And so we're well on our way, Jake. And the next time I come on Real America's Voice, I really pray that I'm here to talk about how we have the primaries closed. But it's going to have to go through the judicial system. It's probably going to take a while, but when it does, we're going to have huge impacts. But people need to know, look, Charlie Kirk wasn't killed because he spoke. He was killed because youth around the world listen to him. Just like this sign says, we're going to have lots of these signs tonight at the rally with Attorney General Ken Paxton. And let me tell you, he is going to whip John Cornyn's butt in this race. John Cornyn, anyway, still is running away from Donald Trump. You know, it's amazing what the people that work for John Cornyn will tell you. They're mad about the Donald Trump protesters from the left showing up at their office. They go out there and tell them, hey, you know, John Cornyn is not Donald Trump. We're more like you. I don't know why we were. Why are you here protesting John Cornyn? That's literally what the people who work for John Cornyn and his Houston office told me yesterday, word for word. Jake. Okay, so, John, I got to jump. All right, man, I got to jump so much. Good luck. Good luck for the event tonight. And please send me that footage and just keep the fight going. Thank you so much. Yes, sir. Thank you, Jake. You have a good one. All right.

I'm Jake Novak. Joining us right now is David Brody. You are absolutely excused. I will write you an excuse, a doctor's note for all of you missing some of the crazy things coming out of Kamala Harris in the last few days because we've had more important news to talk about. But I actually think some of the things she says are important because they tell you the truth about the Democratic Party and the way that they think about things. I'm just going to focus on two of the things. First is she reveals in her book that she called California Governor Gavin Newsom for help and advice when she was named the nominee to replace Joe Biden last year. He told her, hey, Kamala I'm sorry. I'm in the middle of a hike right now. I'll get back to you. And he never did that. Just goes to show one thing. There's not a lot of tea. So that's one part. But the thing that I think is really interesting, she goes in the book about how she would rather have chosen Pete Buttigieg, who was then the Transportation Secretary, for her running mate, but basically, she said she couldn't do it because he was gay. Now, that's the Democrats saying that. Meanwhile, we have President Trump, by the way, who was appointed an openly gay man, and Scott Bessant to the highest position anyone from that persuasion has ever had as a Treasury secretary. So let's get this straight. A Republican has. Has put in a very powerful. Into a very powerful position, a person, because of his abilities and not really made any concern about their sexual orientation, whereas the Democrat decided not to hire someone because of their sexual orientation. Am I getting that right, David Brody? Because that's what it sounds like to me. You are getting that, right. There's so much to unpack here. I know we have a limited amount of time, but I guess we'll just stay in the Buddha Jed stuff. So, first of all, she's on with Rachel Maddow. I mean, where is the outrage and pushback by Maddow and everybody else saying, wait a minute, you passed over a gay man, you know, and you're basically saying he couldn't win in America. There's so many things to impact, like. Like, that is not principled at all. You talk about being a champion for gay rights, and then you decide, you know, you're not gonna do the ultimate move. It just shows you what a hypocrite she is. And quite frankly, to me, the whole book just revealed one big truth, which is Kamala Harris knows that she's got no chance ever again in American politics. And I'm telling you, she wouldn't have written that book if she knew she had a shot, because you don't burn bridges in this business. You just don't. And she burned every single one of them in that book. And by the way, with Gavin Newsom, okay, so you sent him a text, and he didn't get back to you. I don't know. You're kind of friends with him. You are BFFs to a degree. Could you pick up the phone and say, hey, Gavin, what's going on? You back from hiking? I mean, the whole thing I'm making is all stupid. It's all ridiculous. Yeah, really a terrible, a terrible ad for the Democratic Party. That whole book. Check it out. We'll see you again tomorrow. There's a lot going on in Hollywood.

Episode Date: September 24, 2025
Host: Jake Novak (with contributors and guests)
Podcast: Real America’s Voice, iHeartPodcasts
This episode of American Sunrise Early Edition dives into a wide range of political and cultural topics with a distinctly conservative, “unfiltered news” angle. Host Jake Novak is joined by guests—including investigative journalists, political strategists, and contributors—to analyze breaking news stories, critique media coverage, assess current political battles, and spotlight grassroots activism. Key themes center on government shutdown negotiations, President Trump’s actions and remarks at the UN, media controversies, education politics, the Virginia governor’s race, student free speech, and high-profile book releases.
[10:00–19:00]
“I could do a whole show... about how government shutdowns are no big deal, and people should stop thinking it's the horrible thing that it is.” – Jake Novak [11:20]
“During COVID the government was shut down anyway... nothing burned to the ground. The world didn’t end.” – Walter Kurt [13:10]
[19:00–27:00]
“They’re funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one?” – Donald Trump (speech clip) [21:54]
“Melania looked like she nearly fell over... it’s such petty tyrant behavior.” – Walter Kurt [24:58]
[27:00–38:00]
“How is there an 18-point swing between a lieutenant governor and the governor if the governor is popular? That doesn’t make any sense at all.” – Walter Kurt [32:00]
“Do we have white Kamala Harris here? …She couldn’t answer the question at all.” – Walter Kurt [36:12]
[45:00–49:30]
“He didn’t really apologize... This was meant to be an attack.” – Jake Novak [46:30]
“If getting news coverage in their local community gets better ratings than Jimmy Kimmel... It’s quite embarrassing for him.” – Emily Finn [48:10]
[53:00–57:00]
“Any news organization... should have that in italics at the bottom or beginning of a story. They won’t do it, so I’ll do it for you.” – Jake Novak [56:45]
[58:00–1:03:40]
[1:04:15–1:15:48]
“We thought we would get pushback in other parts of the county, but not in Republican-heavy House District 133... Democrats actually went after these four teachers and these students... it’s absolutely disgusting and despicable.” [1:06:15]
“He is the only statewide elected official in Texas that spoke out immediately and said, ‘Kids, I am here for you.’” – Tom Slocum [1:08:53]
