This is an iHeart podcast. Ahead on American Sunrise Early Edition. The judicial pushback on President Trump. And 80% of the country is getting tiresome already. And now real lives are being put in danger. Federal judge has ruled President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles earlier this year was illegal. President Trump is vowing to keep pushing the policy anyway. Forget paperwork. Now there's video evidence that at least one of the homes fed Governor Lisa Cook claims to be her primary residence is being rented to someone else. And there could be more damning evidence on the way. Colorado officially loses its status as the home state for Space Force as the program now moves to Alabama. But hey, don't feel bad, Colorado, your sky is and your earth are still part of outer space, too. There used to be a time in America when elected officials didn't openly wish death on the president of the United States. For Minnesota Governor Tim Walsh, those days are over and he doesn't even seem to care. And a comedian is arrested upon arrival as he lands at London's Heathrow Airport. It's the worst example yet of what Great Britain has become. 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 no now. Good morning. Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. Remember, we started this week late because of Labor Day, so this is Wednesday. Check your calendars, make sure you've got all your schedules correct. And we have a lot of news to cover, unfortunately, so much of it coming from the judicial bench ruling against not only the American people and what President Trump wants, but I think the Constitution as well, despite their protestations otherwise. Welding welcome. Also now please helping us to get through all this is Florida Conservative Caucus State Director David Pollock. David and look, I still say that the Trump anti crime initiatives, the putting of the National Guard troops on the streets of D.C. talking about doing it in some of these other parts of the country. I still say this is the top running story in America over the last four weeks or so because it could potentially affect so many other cities other than just D.C. and, and even Chicago and places like that. But we have this judge in California trying to create a chilling effect against that policy with his ruling yesterday saying that that deployment of National Guard troops as foreign Invaders, other activists, violent activists in the country, and if you remember, were attacking ICE federal officers in the streets of Los Angeles. And that judge is still calling that illegal. Anti freedom, anti constitutional. And David, as I throw to you for your comments on this, I just want to remind everybody, does anybody think that these judges who are supposedly, who say they're ruling in the name of freedom would for one second lift a finger for Americans if they were had any, a chance to sue for their freedom during the COVID lockdowns or if they get arrested for social media posts? I mean, come on, these judges aren't for freedom, are they?
B
No. It's amazing how the judges seem to be able to tell the President what the President can't do. But at the same time, anytime, any, anyone besides the president who was elected by the majority of the country, anytime they want to do something, the courts are like, yeah, they could do whatever they want. It's just the President, they can't do anything. And here the President is sending troops to LA to protect federal officials. When you have the governor of that state and the mayor calling basically President Trump's efforts to enforce our immigration law illegal or immoral or improper, and they're encouraging people to resist federal officers. I remember a time when they called that an insurrection. And meanwhile a judge is saying that these, these federal officials cannot protect themselves from doing their constitutionally sworn duty. That is ridiculous. Now, by the way, the fake news is out there saying that the troops are out there and, and it's, they're legal. Trump did such a great job yesterday in the Oval Office pushing back against the fake news, saying, actually, I'm allowed to have 300 and this is, will be appealed. I have a feeling this, this judge will be overturned. And like many of these lawfare cases, you'll find out very soon that they're overstepping their authority. But still, I mean, it's just yet another example of rogue judges deciding that they get to decide what the President, United States gets to do, not the American people who voted for him.
A
Yeah. And remember, while the Trump administration has the wherewithal and the means and the will to take this all the way to the Supreme Court, people like you and I, not so much. You know, we don't. And that should be remembered that the system is so stacked against regular folks. Speaking of people who have certain privileges and those who don't, we saw some reports, David, that Israel's are. Well, this is a different story. I'm sorry, I'm going, I'm going over to, to The Middle east, just for a second, because this is good. I'm going to talk about Lisa Cook in a minute. I was going to kind of head Governor Lisa Cook. It's early in the morning, folks. All right. But we saw some reports that Israel's army is poised to go into Gaza City at any moment right now. David, I have to ask you, do you think President Trump has given Prime Minister Netanyahu basically more than just a green light, but it told him to finish this thing and do it completely as soon as possible?
B
Yeah, I think, I think President Trump is starting to lose patience with everything that's going on on the other side of the pond, whether it be Russia, Ukraine, Israel and Gaza. I mean, it's no, no question that President Trump has fully supported Netanyahu in, with respect to eradicating Gaza from, or Hamas from Gaza. And it needs to happen. I mean, this is an organization backed by Iran who has vowed the death and destruction of Israel. And obviously we all remember the October 7th attacks that led to this to begin with. A lot of people want to call Israel genocidal or all these other things that they want to say when Israel did nothing besides live their peaceful lives and then terrorists decided to go in and kidnap and kill a bunch of innocent people. Let's not forget that. That being said, this is the logical conclusion of this battle. We know a cease fire is coming, but Gaza City needs to be held in order to eradicate that, the region from, with eradicate Hamas from the region. So this has to happen. President Trump certainly supports him, but I do think the president is losing some patience with respect to how long this is going on for. And I think that's probably a reason why there's increased fighting.
C
Because.
B
Because I think, I think Trump's ready to move forward and wants to see an end to this, and I think Israel does, too. I think Israel's ready to kind of have more security in the area and we'll see. I think this is the logical move and I'm confident the president supports it.
A
Yeah, rip off the band aid. This isn't just the case with this war, but with the last 75 years with this conflict. It's, it's should have, this mandate should have been ripped off 70 years ago. And we just keep slowly pulling it off then putting it back on. It's one of the reasons why the pain just continues. David, President Trump did indeed announce that Space Force is going to be moving from Colorado to Alabama. For those who say, and there's a lot of this in the mainstream news media that this is retribution. This is political partisanship. This is nasty stuff. Look, Alabama already has a big NASA presence. It wasn't exactly a stretch to put it there. This isn't like he's just suddenly showing up to some barn outside of Tuscaloosa and putting Space Force there. But the other issue here is, look, we just saw this in Los Angeles. You just mentioned the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles. You see this in other parts of the country. People who are leaders are very incredibly hostile to the federal government. Colorado is one of them. Remember there was that Colorado official during the election who tried to take President Trump's name off the ballot. Does everyone remember that? These are states that are incredibly hostile, not just to President Trump, but to the federal government when the president or the Congress is run by Republicans. So I don't understand why these estates think they're going to keep getting big federal contracts and stuff like that when they're literally saying we don't want to accept the federal government's authority. Well, then, okay, don't take. Don't take our money either.
B
Yeah, I think a lot of people, and I agree with you, if these states are not going to be friendly to President Trump, why do we reward them? I don't think this is necessarily retribution, although a lot of. I wouldn't mind it if it was. I think you're exactly right. I think it's logical to move these operations to Alabama. It's in between Texas and Florida, where all the majority of our space operations are, and it's near the coast. And so it makes a ton of sense to be over there as opposed to Colorado. The other thing is, you know, I think Colorado is one of those open pot states and maybe they're having a hard time keeping people on the ground, literally. So it makes a lot of sense to move to a place like Alabama. But I'm not. I don't hate it at all. I think it makes a ton of sense. Colorado has its share of issues politically and geographically, Alabama just makes more sense. I applaud the President for doing it. And, you know, we can. I'll make the argument that if Colorado was friendlier to America, that maybe there wouldn't be so much motivation to do it. But no, I think this is just a logical move and I don't think it's retaliatory, although I know it would be painted that way for political purposes.
A
Yeah, and Colorado is another sanctuary state that split from very solid red to blue because of that sanctuary state Status. And to me, that's a national security issue. This is not a bunch of, these are not a bunch of migrants coming into this country just to work at fast food restaurants anymore. We know that that huge influx of illegal aliens under the Biden administration included terrorists, included foreign agents and the whole thing. I mean really, that's why, by the way, ICE has to wear masks because they're basically soldiers and soldiers have worn masks for millennia, by the way. David, it's time to get a little perspective on really what is the top economic issue in the United States and across the world, and that is tariffs. So for that, David, I'm going to go to what is truly the Rosetta Stone of economic policy, the thing that explains economic policy better than anything else. And you know, I'm talking about the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Check it out.
D
In 1930, the Republican controlled House of Representatives in an effort to alleviate the effects of the. Anyone, anyone? The Great Depression passed the. Anyone, anyone? The tariff bill, the Hawley Smoot Tariff act, which anyone raised or lowered raised tariffs in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work. And the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.
A
That was the great Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The only weird thing about that is he called it the Holly Smooth. No one calls it that. It's the Smooth Holiday. But otherwise he was explaining it pretty well to those absolutely bored out of their mind students. I'm taking a risk here by bringing it up, but honestly, this is an issue right now. The President talking about how if the Supreme Court. Again, I don't think it will. If the Supreme Court upholds that federal court decision and knocks down a lot of his tariffs, the President could have the authority under Anyone, anyone, the Smoot Hawley Tariff act to impose for at least five months tariffs of up to 50% on a number of countries and things like that. David, I think a lot of people are still kind of hazy about this, but I don't think that. Here's one thing I do know. The Democrats of the mainstream media were expecting the American people to get up in arms about the tariffs, to start protesting at grocery stores and, and, and all those and at car dealerships and it doesn't happen. The American people, I think either understand what's going on here and understand the reason for this and support it, or they're just not feeling the pain in the way that the doomsdays were telling them they were going to feel that pain.
B
You know those faces that those students were making during the lecture. That's exactly what my face does. Anytime, like Gavin Newsom starts talking, Jasmine Crockett starts talking, anybody on the left, the fake news, like immediately I just shut down and my jaw drops and I can't understand how they're saying the things that are coming out of their mouth. But that being said, look, tariffs. It's so funny. Tariffs Epstein. And there's a couple of other topics that if you bring up on social media immediately, there's like a billion comments. So I have to believe that these are one of the auto loaded, chat bot, Republican destruction topics that if you say anything at all, they go out there and they try to take you down. That being said, tariffs have been wonderful for the United States. The panic ins were wrong. We knew they were going to be wrong from the very beginning. For those people who pulled all their money out of the stock market, I feel bad for you because the reality is the United States have now brought in almost 200, I think over $200 billion in revenue in, I think it was 7% of the receipts in this year into the Fed have been from tariffs. And those are, that's money that didn't come from the American people's paycheck. They estimate a half of a trillion dollars thanks to tariffs. And the good news is again, this is coming into our treasury, not on the backs of the American people. And this is what the left says in the panic is, oh my God, it's going to make all of your prices go up. See, prices are going up. That would be true except for the fact that inflation is stable, GDP is rising, prices are not going up, and the cost of goods are either stabilizing or going down. Gas is cheapest it's been in Labor Day, the cheapest Labor Day you've had in the last 10 years for gas. So the idea that these tariffs are somehow passed on to the consumer and attacks on the consumer, it's bull. And I think that's why nobody is up in arms and rioting because they realize that, oh wow, wait a second, we're making money. It's not coming out of my paycheck and our prices aren't going up. And in addition to all of this and all land, the fact that we're bringing trillions of dollars of manufacturing back to the United States, creating high paying jobs for American workers, all of this is great coming off of Labor Day. And this is good news and this is what real leadership looks like. And of course, you have rogue radical judges saying, nah, America can't win. President Trump can't lead. And I think the Supreme Court will speak on this very soon to say president is within his authority to do exactly what he did.
A
Yeah, well, the Supreme Court's really working for the first time in a big way. It seems that way to me. All right, David Pollack, thank you so much for joining us. We'll see you again real soon. Thank you again.
B
Thanks for having me.
A
All right, is the continued divide between President Trump and the Federal Reserve putting us behind the curve again? Can the Fed take the right action at the right time, or are we going to be looking at a potential economic slowdown? And what does this mean for your savings? Consider diversifying with gold through Birch Gold Group. For decades, gold has been viewed as a safe haven in times of economic stagnation, global uncertainty and high inflation. And Birch Gold makes it incredibly easy for you to diversify some of your savings into gold. If you have an IRA or old 401k, you can convert that into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold or just buy some gold and keep it in your safe. First, get educated. Birchgold will send you a free info kit on gold. Just text America to the number 9898. 98. Again, text America to 9898. 98. Consider diversity, diversifying a portion of your savings into gold. That way, if the Fed can't stay ahead of the curve, at least you can. Coming up. No wonder Gwyneth Paltrow divorced. This guy. The front man for Coldplay shows off his ignorant side as he brings some Israeli fans on stage. You'll see the whole thing when we come back. You're watching American Sunrise EARLY Edition.

Look at Belmont, North Carolina, this morning. Looks like we got our morning traffic to work and maybe the school going already this morning. Welcome back to American Sunrise EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak. This is a Wednesday, by the way. Remember to check your calendar. We started late this week and I want to thank everyone for joining us on the Getter and the Rumble platforms. Also on X, also on Substack. You can watch the show live on Substack as well. Joining us now is Real America's Voice contributor and frequent, and I mean frequent, international concert goer Emily Finn. And Emily, I don't think you're a Coldplay fan. I'm going to make a bet. I don't, I don't think you're a fan of Coldplay, but you won't be any more either way. After you see what Coldplay frontman Chris Martin did to some Israeli fans that he dragged on stage over the weekend? Check this out.
E
Where did you come from today? From Israel. Okay, well, well, okay, well, listen, I'm gonna say this. I'm very grateful that you're here as humans, and I'm treating you as for humans on Earth, regardless of where you come from or don't come from. Thank you for being here. We're grateful, and thank you for being loving, kind. And although it's controversial, maybe I also want to welcome people in the audience from Palestine because we. We have a belief that we're all equal. And. Yeah, thank you for being here.
A
Emily. Somebody on social media yesterday did a great job of putting into context what that was. Maybe you think that was harmless, folks, but imagine if Chris Martin had brought on some black people on stage and said, oh, you're black. Oh, well, I consider you a human. But while I consider you human, let's get a shout out to all the KKK members in the audience. I mean, what does it matter what country they come from? And he just seemed to be going out of his way as if he was saying something controversial, that people, these fans, were actually humans. I mean, this is where we are right now. I mean, those fans are lucky that they weren't abused or attacked on that stage. We know what goes on in Europe to people like this. I mean, it was really scary to hear the way he was talking, as if he was like, well, I think you're a human, even though I think you're horrible. I mean, it's just really scary stuff. And why is politics getting into the concert? I just don't get it.
F
Yeah, seriously, keep the politics out of the show. But I'll take that analogy and even a step further there, Jake. Imagine if these people said, we're from Ukraine. And he said, great, you are totally human. Is anyone from Russia in the crowd tonight? Like, that simply would have never happened. And I just think that he really needs to take a look in the mirror and look. I think at the end of the day, he had good intent, and it was one of those moments where his words just really did not come out the way that he wanted to. But like you said, keep the politics out of the concert. Just focus on the music. And the only thing that would have been more embarrassing is if you would have put them up on the Kiss cam. Like that happened at a Coldplay concert earlier this summer. So, you know, I feel bad for these two fans, and hopefully, you know, it didn't ruin the experience entirely for them. I know the joy of going to see your favorite band and going to see a concert. So really disappointing moment there. And hopefully Coldplay, like I said, takes a look in the mirror.
A
Well, good call on the Kiss Cam. I mean, Coldplay has just been causing controversy. I mean, if you have any, I mean, if you just want to keep a quiet life and stay and not be bothered, don't go to a Coldplay concert. Oh, my goodness. All right. Emily Finn, thank you so much for joining us, everyone. You'll be able to catch Emily on American sunrise between 8 to 10. Make sure you stick with us so you can see her again. Thank you so much, Emily.

Thanks, Jake.

Coming up, Warren Buffett has been one of the most successful investors in American history, but he really got this one wrong and a lot of us have paid for it. I'll explain when AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY EDITION comes right back live. Look at our nation's capital right now. Congress is back to work. By the way. Welcome back to AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much for joining us. Take a look at the markets and see where we can expect them to start this morning. Slight gain for the Dow, a little bit more. A lot more significant for the NASDAQ. You know, yesterday we were down well over 500 points on the Dow for a lot of the day. We ended up closing under 250 points down. So a pretty big comeback for the Dow and some of the other indices. I want you to look at crude oil there, down A$44 2.2% this morning. That's on news that OPEC plus is going to maybe increase output again. So there we are again, solidly below the $65 a barrel level. Now let's look at Bitcoin and bitcoin right now at 111. It's up a little bit, but again well off that 125,000 or so all time high, but still historically quite high. Remember six or seven months ago we were well below the hundred thousand dollar mark, let alone 111. 6. Okay. Heinz and Kraft merged 10 years ago. Remember that? The deal was hailed as a great moment in the financial and the consumer products worlds. But all of that hailing was really because most of the established financial news media kisses the feet of Warren Buffett. Hey, Warren Buffett has been a very successful investor. Far be it from me to make fun of him. I'm really not. I'm making fun of the financial news media that absolutely kisses the man's feet and tries everything they can do to get into his good graces. It's really embarrassing. They all do it. Cnbc, even Fox Business, they all do it. It's really embarrassing. And when he made this deal, basically he basically pushed for it. They thought it was the greatest thing in the world. Well, it wasn't. Heinz, Kraft, Sock since that merger closed in 2015, is down 60%. You know, almost every other major stock in this country is up a lot since 2015. Anyway, it's a big loser. It was a mistake. They're going to break up this merger now. Heinz and Kraft are going to go their separate ways. They're going to split it off. They're it'll make some money for the shareholders. But again, it didn't move at all. They lost a lot of money over these last 10 years. They'll make money now based on where it is from now. But overall there were a lot of losers in this. Warren Buffett is not always right. And I'm one of the few people on television who's going to say it because almost everyone else on television is hoping to get exclusive interviews and friendships with the guy. Look, it's just not worth it. Tell the story. That's as it is. And it's truth, the truth of the story to the American people. That's all. He's not always right, period. All right. And now for my second item in the Big men of business and finance aren't always right Column today, here's another one. I'm the man in the spotlight now for this story is Nestle CEO Laurent Freese, or should I say X CEO Freese was removed yesterday for having a romantic relationship with the staffer. Yeah, you've heard this story before. Now, I have a little bit of a different angle on this story. Every time you hear about a CEO, whether he's at a Coldplay concert or gets caught otherwise having an affair with a staffer or co worker, it should remind you that all that does is give an excuse to all the other CEOs who are presumably, or at least maybe they can prove it, not having affairs with coworkers to get paid even more. You know, they go into their compensation negotiations with advocates, lawyers, agents, things like that. And literally they will bring it up and say, hey, our guy isn't doing this, or our gal isn't doing this. I mean, it's amazing the things that you and I would get fired for and not get rewarded for not doing, these guys actually use to boost their salaries. So think about it that way. It looks like, by the way, speaking of big money, it looks like we're going to have a record lottery jackpot tonight. The Powerball jackpot is expected to be more than $1.3 billion. But guess what, folks, I already know who the big winner in this lottery is going to be. Yes, it's Uncle Sam, it's the government, it's the tax collectors. The winner of that jackpot is probably only gonna take home about $300 million. I know that's a lot of money, but think about it. That's a billion dollars in the jackpot that will be going back to the government to use for, you know, Lord knows what. I know they say they use it for education, but anyone in the education profession will tell you that it isn't extra money. People think, oh, this is extra money for education. No, all this is, all that does is help each state meet the allocated funds that the state legislature has already allocated for education. In other words, this isn't a bonus just because they have a big jackpot and more people are buying. It's not going to be one extra penny for education. And of course, remember I've been reporting on this show about the scams going on big either hedge funds and even foreign countries who have found a way to print out thousands of tickets a minute. In Texas, we know for a fact that that was the way that some lotteries were won. Do you think this isn't happening in national lotteries? The easiest answer I can give you is, don't play this game. Not because I'm against gambling, I'm not a prude, but because I'm against you losing your money in a rigged game. We'll talk more about this in the coming weeks. As you know, this is a big issue for me. I don't like seeing people throwing money away when big people with a million machines can print out tickets. It's just not right. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. This is moving America. Sponsored by Artillery Tea Company. Artillerytea code.com use promo code payload for 15% off your order.

Jaguar and Land Rover say they were hit by a cyber attack that has severely disrupted its retail and production activities much over the weekend. This was how this was going on at that company. The attack centered on registration data that has to go on to some of these cars and things like VIN numbers, stuff like that. And it absolutely held up their assembly lines. Now, considering, however, how badly Jaguar sales have been so far this year, maybe no one would have noticed in the first place if production had stopped. All kidding aside, though, Jaguar says they've got this under control, but this is an interesting new hack. They're not just trying to break into our cars on the street. They're now affecting the assembly line. That's a little scary. All right. Democrats keep telling us how important it is to reduce emissions. You know, it's so important and they. If they thought it was so important, though, why are they making it so hard to do it? I mean, why do they actually not reward us and punish us for doing that? The reason why I say that is now Oregon, a very blue state, is considering a pay by mile tax for people who own EVs. Why are they doing that? Why do they want to tax every mile driven by people who have EVs? Because they're not going to the gas station anymore and paying the sales tax on gasoline. So I guess reducing emissions isn't really what they were going for after all. It's about control. It's not about the environment. They don't understand the environment and frankly, the experts aren't so sure either. This is a the latest example of that. Here's a question. Does the Ford F150 V8 engine have an oil problem? A new class action lawsuit filed in Michigan brings together drivers from nine states. They all claim that the 5.0 liter Coyote V8 consumes much more oil than it's supposed to. Now, that can lead to a lot more gas usage as well. That cost them a lot of money. And the plaintiffs say this also could lead to engine failure. What the plaintiffs want right now is either a recall or a big settlement. This case currently names 12 plaintiffs and they are owners of 2018, 2019 and 2020 Ford F150s. Again, they either want a financial payment or some kind of a recall. We'll keep our eyes on this one. Ford F150, number one vehicle in America 40 years running. All right. And now a bit. I just give you a little bit of a look into the future. Here are some mock ups of a likely new technology in the coming years you're going to see in your car. You currently see all these stats and things like that on your dashboard. Well, now they're going to be superimposed or at least in the future, right onto the lower part of your windshield. I want you to let me know what you think about that. Will that be more distracting or less distracting to you if it goes right on that small part of your windshield at the lower end of it? You can let me know on Getter and Rumble X substack. Whatever you think. But I'm a little bit of a mixed mind on this. I think it's a little bit better than taking your eyes off the road. But if it blocks the road in any way, I'm not so sure this is a great idea. Okay. Coming up, the most solemn responsibility of government is to protect the lives of the citizenry. But apparently a huge chunk of the federal judiciary thinks otherwise, especially when it comes to our most difficult, dangerous city streets. And there's nothing funny about how Great Britain is treating a visiting Irish comedian. In fact, it's totally terrifying. That story and more when America's Sunrise Early Edition comes right back. It's Wednesday, September 3rd. Here are this morning's top the judicial pushback on President Trump was getting tiresome already, but now real lives are being put in danger. A federal judge has ruled President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles was illegal. President Trump is vowing to keep pushing the policy anyway, forget paperwork. Now there's video evidence that at least one of the homes Fed Governor Lisa Cook claims to be her primary residence is being rented to someone else. And there could be more damning evidence on the way. Israel seems closer than ever to actually moving into Gaza City. Has President Trump given the Israelis a complete green light? And there used to be a time in America when elected leaders didn't openly wish death on the president of the United States. But for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, those days are over. And he doesn't even seem to care. American Sunrise EARLY EDITION continues now. Welcome back to AMERICAN Sunrise EARLY edition. It's a Wednesday. I'm Jake Novak. Thank you so much everyone for joining us. And all of those, all those of you who are commenting on Getter and Rumble Substack, the X platform is all those places you can see this program in so many places, you have no excuse. And there will be a test tomorrow. Joining us now to help us get through some of the big stories right now, Daily Signal politics editor Bradley Devlin. Bradley, I've got to get your take on this judge's ruling against President Trump's calling up the National Guard in Los Angeles after the ICE riots there. Look, I can understand the libertarian argument that you don't want this to become some kind of regular occurrence, but when you have riots and federal agents who have been physically attacked, that's one thing. And I have to also call the bluff on these federal judges who say they're doing this for freedom. Bradley, does anyone think for one minute that these federal judges, for example, would protect us if God forbid we pass one of those antisocial media post laws that they have in Britain now where they're arresting people left and right? And where were they during the COVID lockdowns that took away our freedom? Bradley, I'm just, I'm just not buying that the federal judges there are really standing up for the Constitution of freedom. I don't know if you are.
C
Good questions at the end there, but let me address the 52 page ruling first. Of course, a judge named Judge Breyer in San Francisco. We wonder where he stands politically. I'd like someone to go through his political donations and see what he thinks. Of course, he argues that this was in violation Trump's actions was in violation of the Posse Comitatis act, which actually was something that Southern Democrats advocated for in the Reconstruction era to get the federal Yankees, the northerners, out of the south from protecting various federal laws. And this all ties into the Insurrection act as well. But what the Trump administration did in sending troops to Los Angeles was to use the president's protective power according to US code title 10 that allows the president to take undertake law enforcement actions to protect federal installations like federal courthouses and ICE detention centers. And then of course, the judge says, well, they just went too far. They went too far. They went beyond. They started to arrest people. They started to suppress the riots. Well, if the riots are and the criminal behavior are on the federal government's doorstep, I don't know how you protect federal property without performing at least some type of function that would be similar to the local law enforcement there. And of course, we've seen it time and time again. Local law enforcement led by Democrat leadership fails to enforce the laws in the books, not only imperiling the lives of our law enforcement officers at the federal level, but also the local level and of course the lives of everyone in the community. And you bring up such a good point about this, this, this, you know, where were they during COVID where were they during all these other violations of rights? I think we'll be able to talk about that when we talk about the UK story coming up soon.
A
Yeah, we will. But you know, you're bringing up the Reconstruction era just like lit a light bulb over my head. I mean, for those of you who didn't read it, please read the Ulysses Grant book by Ron Chernow. I don't know where Ron Chernow is politically. I think he unwittingly wrote a very pro Trump book when he did that book about Ulysses Grant. It's an excellent book, but everyone should be reminded that President Grant didn't worry about all that stuff when he sent out basically military groups to kill off and get rid of the KKK, which wasn't the KKK of the 1960s just marching and being annoying. They were literally a paramilitary group that I think is very similar to some of these illegal alien groups that have been attacking ICE and doing other things like that. Read that book, you'll see how Ulysses Grant was really a hero for that. I think President Trump is in some ways basically channeling him. Bradley, we also now have video evidence, in addition to all those boring papers, now we have cool video evidence showing that I guess I should call her ex Fed Governor Lisa Cook, because President Trump has fired her and showing the fact that she has this other home here, clearly that she called her primary residence and there was video released showing people going in and out of it who are not Lisa Cook. She's clearly renting it out. And Bill Pulte, who's the head of the fhfa, who's been the lead guy going after Lisa Cook. He says there's more damning evidence coming tomorrow. I can only imagine how that is going to be. You know, my problem with this, Bradley, is not so much the. The, you know, listen, I think this was clearly an effort by either her or her financial advisors to save some money. Yes, it's illegal. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world. But what I do think is if you are the Fed, in the Fed, on the Fed board that deals with so many things like mortgages and banking, you really need to have a clean slate with this. You can't have somebody like this who's done this egregious stuff. I mean, to me, this is really open and shut. How about you?
C
Yeah, it doesn't pass the smell test, Jake. Right. If you're, if you're in charge of basically setting interest rates for the nation, you can't plead ignorance when you say, oh, I just didn't know I filled out primary residence for two houses. I mean, even if you're a normal person and you're being prosecuted for a crime like this, it makes work very simple for law enforcement, because the question is, where do you live? Do you live here or do you live there? If you don't know exactly where you live, you probably shouldn't be buying a house in the first place. And I don't think Cook was ignorant of this fact. I think it was. It was intentional because she has this financial knowledge, this financial background, and does it serve the Trump administration's purposes? Is it advantageous to the Trump administration right now? Yes. Yes, it is. That doesn't mean that she does not deserve to be held accountable for this. And those who say, well, this was kind of known in the past and other people do this, I don't think that's good enough. You know, the Senate confirmed her. Despite some of this stuff happening in the past, that's not good enough. I don't think the Senate standard of holding people accountable is going to satisfy the American people in 2025, who brought Trump back to power after he had been hauled in front of several different juries and several different courts all around the nations, and several. All around the nation at several different levels. They brought him back to power because they were tired of having a double standard of justice. One standard of justice for Trump and the American people that he represented, and another standard of standard of justice for the liberal global elites in this country, of which Lisa Cook is part of that cadre. And so that's why I think this is. This is an important move for the Trump administration. If we're going to reinstate some accountability in our government, it has to start somewhere. And having a member of the Fed be one of those first steps, I think is a good move.
A
Bradley, two quick ones to wrap things up first. Last week, Tim Gwalis, the governor of Minnesota and vice presidential candidate last year, bash Trump voters very personally, calling them dumb, basically robotic. And then he took it another step. Crazy on higher on the crazy meter, basically endorsing and cheering on that conspiracy theory that was going on over the last few days about President Trump either being very sick or dead. And he was happy about it. Check it out. You get up in the morning and you doom scroll through things and although I will say this, the last few days you woke up thinking there might be news. Just saying, just saying there will be news sometime, just so you know there will be news. Yeah. I mean, this guy is basically rooting for the death of the President of the United States. Joking around about it. Of course. It was also, you know, bat s word crazy. The entire thing. I mean, it's just amazing. I got, by the way, I got text messages from some liberal friends who were all excited about, you know, telling me President Trump was dead or had a stroke. Tim Walsh is now the latest Democrat trying to sound like, well, being nasty or they think that that's actually going to win them votes among undecided people. It's not right, is it?
C
I don't think that's right at all. I also think that Tim Walls was funny. You might have thought there was going to be some news that was funny because everyone knows that it's an oblique reference. But when he follows it up with and there will be some news, I don't know how else to interpret that other than a threat, especially after this person has said that we need to become more violent. Remember, he was on late shows doing the late show rounds after their failed presidential campaign, saying that Democrats need to be more aggressive. The weird thing about this is this is what the Democratic base wants. They want more aggressive politicians. People like Zoran Mandani, people like, you know, Maxine Waters style politics, who are really going after members of the Trump administration and people on the right. But Tim Walls is not anywhere on any of the 2028 presidential forecasts. He's not polling at all, really, in 2028 polls. And so you really wonder why he's doing this. Is this his true self? Are these his true colors? Or is this just a cynical ploy to try to get him back in the national conversation. And that seems like if it's a ploy to get back in the national conversation, no one wants him to be there. So, Tim, just fade into that good night and we'll see you when you write your book or something like that, because no one will read that either.
A
He should also get back in the gym. Those are some scrawny arms. Real quick. Because we were talking about it. Bradley, I want to go to Great Britain where this really happened. An Irish comedian was arrested at Heathrow on Sunday, sorry, Monday, because he posted on X that men pretending to be women in women's locker rooms and bathrooms is dangerous. And so they arrested him at Heath. I mean, they really did arrest them. His name is Graham Lynam. He's pretty successful. I don't think Americans realize where they are right now in the UK and of course, I don't know if they also realize that there's a lot of people in this country, Democrats and judges, who would love to see these laws and these kinds of arrests here in the United States, aren't there?
C
Yeah. We're bringing this, this segment Full Circle, because when I first saw this story, Jake, I didn't think about the absurd hate speech laws that are on the books in the United Kingdom. Yes, they are absurd. Yes. They've actually been there since the 80s. Yes, the enforcement and the application of them have changed dramatically, almost in a sui generis way in the last decade. Right. This is of a different time. But what I really thought about was 1776, because we're approaching 250th anniversary of the Declaration. The United States, yes, we had a revolution over taxes. But that's not the full story. What actually the taxes conversation in 1776 was of a piece of parliamentary supremacy that parliament and government determine your rights and your liberties and not the laws of nature and nature's God. And the American founders said, no, your rights emanate from your creator. All men were created equal. And that was the animating force, of course, of the revolution. And that is what civil servants here in the United States, of course, the United Kingdom, they've forgotten it for hundreds of years, ever since this parliamentary supremacy doctrine. But what the American politicians now, they've forgotten it in a piecemeal way. They've forgotten it over time. It's kind of fallen by the wayside. And we really need to reinvigorate and reengage the American people on where their rights actually come from. Because without politicians who understand where your rights actually come from, you're going to get whether it's politicians in the executive branch, the legislative branch, or judges in the judicial branch that don't remember that think that it is they who determine your rights and your liberties and not recognizing and securing those rights through the Constitution, through the government that we've been able to create. And that's why you didn't see any judges really standing up in Covid and standing up now when the Trump administration is trying to protect the livelihoods of people all across this country from Los Angeles to Chicago to D.C. yeah.
A
And everyone running for office needs to be asked by the voters what they're going to do to make sure that these kinds of laws don't come to the United States. Bradley Devlin, politics editor of the Daily Signal, thank you so much for joining us. Have a great rest of your week.
C
Thanks, Jake.
A
Coming up, I'm not finished talking about this Trump is dead conspiracy theory, and neither is the New York Times, which is now trying very hard to justify the delusions of their readers. David Brody and I will talk about it when we come right back.
C
Feel the rainbow.
A
That's the Capitol dome in Washington, D.C. it's Capitol Hill with an O, the capital with an O. But the capital city, you spell it with an A. I'm here to teach everyone how to spell. I wasn't very good at it until recently, frankly. Welcome back to AMERICAN Sunrise EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak. It is a Wednesday. Thank you so much for joining us. I also have David Brody joining us right now. David, I was talking before with my last guest about this conspiracy theory that was going on over the weekend. It was pretty widespread on the Internet with, of course, absolutely no evidence. And it wasn't just that they were spreading a rumor that President Trump had had a stroke or had died. But there was a giddy celebration of this. Of course, it was completely delusional. And you pointed out last night in a text message that the New York Times wasn't just reporting about it, which I don't think was that irresponsible for them to say, hey, this was this rumor that was going on. But as you noted in the body of the article, they spent most of the time basically justifying it and explaining why it was okay to be crazy. And to me, this is indicative of the entire problem we've had in this country since 2015. We have allowed people, we've allowed the, I think the, the inmates to run the asylum. We've allowed people, we look the other way. We know that listen there's angry partisanship, and there always has been in this country. But I'm so tired of just excusing. We call it Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's actually not that much of a joke. There are some really, really sick people out there, and I'm so tired of looking the other way. You don't have to be a Trump supporter. Of course you don't. But you can't be this nuts all the time. And I wish I had pushed back harder on the people who texted me over the weekend saying Trump was in and said, listen, please go see a doctor, but you got to go to another country, because all this, all the psychiatrists in this country are pretty much afflicted with the same Trump derangement syndrome. You know what I mean? Yeah.
G
They're going to run out of medication with Trump derangement syndrome in this country. But, Jake, that whole New York Times article, literally, the article started. Excuse me, the headline said, President Trump is alive is what it started with. And then it went on to. Went on to say that, you know, the online stuff's going crazy. But the truth of the matter is, if you read through the whole article, it was all code to bring up every single problem with the Trump administration in terms of why they're hiding the hand issue and they're hiding this. And, of course, these people have legitimate concerns about everything this Trump administration is doing from a dastardly perspective. They're hiding the truth. Come on. You know, no Pizzagate articles from the New York Times on this.
A
Yeah, absolutely. Stop enabling craziness. All right, stay with us for the next two hours. I'll see you tomorrow.

This episode of American Sunrise Early Edition weaves together domestic legal strife, high-stakes economic and international policy, examples of cultural confusion, and media distrust—all filtered through a lens skeptical of progressive narratives and highly supportive of Trump-era conservatism and “real American values.” Listeners are encouraged to question judicial authority, media coverage, and the motives behind both domestic and international news headlines.
