- [02:32]
A
Love it.
- [02:33]
F
Johnny boy. I always love when you're here. I know that when there's work, you run on the work and sometimes you're not here. But today, I'm very blessed to have you as my brother. Thank you. I have some other great, great people on the couches today. It's a new look, like, you know, hey, we like to change things up, right? It's never the same thing. Otherwise you're going to get bored. But I tell you what, I'm never, ever bored with kdj. How you doing, kdj? Good, my friend. It's always a pleasure to be back at the most patriotic, the most patriotic venue in the galaxy. He's stepping it up. Well, now, since we know that there's Martians under the sea and, you know, under the South Pole. Under the North Pole. Did you hear that one? Oh, my goodness. It's crazy. Hey, on the far under, my immediate right is Liza Azzarelli. She has so been missed so much. Liza, you've been traveling the world. You was in Florida. Where else have you been? And I'm so happy to see you.
- [03:26]
D
Been to Italy and very happy to be back here in New York. I would wish everyone, hope everyone had a wonderful Columbus Day weekend. All honorees to my Italian heritage.
- [03:36]
F
When you go overseas like that, I imagine you love coming home now, right? Nothing like America.
- [03:41]
D
It's the God's honest truth I can't deny. When we get back to the States.
- [03:46]
F
We feel like, okay, Western civilization is the way to go, man. I've been all over, too. I did a lot of Italy trips over there and went to get some spaghetti and meatballs. You know, it wasn't really as good as it was here at the homeland here, which I feel. Hey, we got another great guy next to us over here. Guy Leggio. Leggio. Leggio, right. He wants to do a single leg takedown on you. He is a wrestler, you know, a real dedicated man, because in order for you to be a wrestler, you have to be dedicated. So I want to introduce Guy because Guy is going to be taking a position locally in the. The Republican Party. We're trying to get him in. Guy, tell us who you are, where you're from. What are you doing here? Tell me, huh?
- [04:36]
G
Well, thank you for having me. I'm here. My name is Guy Leggio. I'm running for this Suffolk County Legislature, District 9, and I'm a Bay Shore fireman for 40 years, volunteer fireman. I'm a 40 year union bricklayer. I'm also a. I was a varsity Wrestling coach for 27 years at East Isop High School.
- [04:53]
B
School.
- [04:54]
G
I've done a lot of great things. I've done a lot of. I've donated a lot of things. I've donated a million dollar wrestling room to the East Isop High School. I also got an armory in Bayshore that we turned it into a UPK center I got for a dollar for the school.
- [05:07]
F
You make things happen, don't you? That's what it sounds like, to make things happen. You also served our country.
- [05:11]
G
And I was a four year veteran of the United States Navy, A part of the multinational peacekeeping force in Beirut, Lebanon.
- [05:19]
F
God bless you, man. You know, we need you to run for office. What office are you running for?
- [05:23]
G
Suffolk County Legislator. District 9.
- [05:25]
F
Suffolk County Legislature. What is the legislature? Patriots. Like that? Military. I like to see the military running for offices to help America first agenda. Yeah. You know what I mean? Clean up. Besides, I heard there was no fat guys allowed in there.
- [05:39]
A
Take it easy.
- [05:41]
G
I was a lot bigger. I lost a couple of pounds.
- [05:42]
F
Once you get to that weight class, they don't care what you weigh, right? I feel safe. I'm six feet apart right now. And plus, we already talked. If I got to wrestle this guy, my brother's going to wrestle with me. Because unfortunately, that's the way it goes. If anybody wants a nose.
- [05:56]
G
Family first.
- [05:57]
F
Important, that's together. Family together. KDJ guy, can I ask you a question? I don't have kids. I don't know anything about this. I keep telling people that you got to run for school board because we let the commies take the school boards and now they're showing pornography and whatnot to these kids. And when you say, you know, I.
- [06:16]
A
Don'T want you teaching my son that.
- [06:17]
F
They'Re trying to say, well, you can't opt out anymore. And in Jersey, if that Mikey Sheryl wins, she's going after homeschoolers, say, here's your LGBT FBI stuff you got to learn. And we're going to test your own kids later on. She's planning to do that.
- [06:31]
G
Can you.
- [06:32]
F
I just think the school board is, is one of the most important things. You were a school board member.
- [06:37]
G
I am still a school board member for 18 years now. I've been president five times.
- [06:41]
F
And you know, pick your mic up, guy. I want everybody.
- [06:45]
G
It's very, very important being on a school board. I think that, you know, you have to be a true community leader. You have to make decisions people don't want to hear, you know, and, you know, you're talking about stuff that does come to the table with the LBGQ and, you know, the bathroom situation or what are you gonna name this? It's all. It's crazy stuff, you know, and you have to make decisions. People don't like decisions. People don't like people making a straightforward decision. I'm a straightforward guy. I make straightforward decisions. And you know where we stand when I'm there. But being on a school board, it's. It's a great thing. And you know what? People. People don't participate enough on their child education and all that kind of stuff. They would leave it up to a lot of people. And it's not, you know, school, parents fault.
- [07:28]
F
So. Parents fault. So Joe the box here, he's got a friend named John Solomon from Just the News, and he was on TV yesterday. He was saying this. He said, I talked to a former Cuban Communist agent and he said, here's their plan. And number one was go after the kids, because it's easier to change a young person's mind than an older person's mind. And how they did that was went for the school boards, took them over. So how can we get these animals out of there?
- [07:55]
G
You're seeing that right now in New York City now, because in New York City, what's going on, all the young people and I, you know, like I said, I tell it like it is. The young people are making these decisions and they're coming through and they're bullying their way through these politics things. And I don't like the way it's going. It's New York City, and I tell you something, right now, we're in trouble if some people get in office.
- [08:14]
F
Yeah, you're not going to stop that from happening because they've already cheated, lied, and stolen. There is something in the Bible from Deuteronomy that I saw. I happened to come across it because somebody mentioned about Deuteronomy. I really had to find out. And what God said in the land of Israel will be ruled by Israelis or the Jewish people only, not never, should we allow a foreigner to run our land. And this is from Deuteronomy. That's how old that was. Somebody can verify that. I know it was there. And we can't let madame from another commie run the place. We can't let Omar and her family there. We got some serious issues. Donald Trump's cleaning it up, though. I feel that now. I'm sorry. I got crazy. Lisa, you went on a school board yourself. Did you come across these kind of things? Did that, you know, you got a good question for Guy on his efforts. Great.
- [09:08]
D
I've been on boards, not on school boards. So I work with school boards in my organization. I've been in education for 30 years.
- [09:15]
E
We will date.
- [09:16]
D
But I understand that something that school boards face, which you'll face when you're on the ledge, hopefully when you get into your legislative seat. Right. Is that there are recommendations and guidelines that come down from the state. New York. Right now we have a one party state, which is difficult for people in many people positions that may disagree with that. Right. And so just what Kevin was speaking about, all those things regarding the changes that you also mentioned were put into law and put into the New York State constitution. And so now these school districts are held to, you know, the standard of meeting that or should we pay the electric bill? So the electric bill. So yeah, the electric bill. So therefore, obviously God is speaking right now to what I'm saying.
- [10:04]
G
So what you're talking about is unfunded mandates too, that they keep handing down and unfunded mandates that's coming down from the state that the taxpayers have to pay for. This is stuff we're not being locally ran. We're being driven by New York State and the federal government in a lot of ways where school boards and schools should be driven by their local members.
- [10:24]
D
That's right. Excellent, Excellent. I'm so happy to hear that.
- [10:27]
H
Yeah.
- [10:28]
F
So you've served your country, you served your community, you've put out fires and now you're going to go for this legislative position. Do you have to move to Albany if you get elected?
- [10:39]
G
No, but I got to cover a lot of things. I got to cover the fires, I got to break in the houses, I got to do everything when it happens because we got to change a lot of things that are going on on Long Island.
- [10:48]
F
Well, I like the community here and since you're in our actual community, you know, we want to be very supportive of you. So do you got like a website or how. I mean, I guess the GOP funds whatever you want to do.
- [11:01]
G
Kind of like, yeah, it's friends of Guy Legio. You know, that's what I'm running under. And again, my platform is simple. I'm a regular hard working guy and I want to bring the working people to the table. And even if I don't like your answer, I'm going to bring it to the table so it's heard and that's important in everybody's life. They need. They're paying the bills. They need to be heard.
- [11:19]
F
You know, one of the big things that I respect about you because when I grew up, one of my, you know, that person that I look forward to, looked up to was the wrestling coaches, you know, and wrestling is, at the beginning of it, it's like a discipline that you have to. Have to be a wrestler. How are you with the children? Do they like you or most of the kids afraid of you?
- [11:39]
G
No. I have to tell you, I built some great teams. I have to give a shout out to my dad, who passed away.
- [11:45]
F
God bless.
- [11:45]
G
My father is the founder of kid wrestling on the whole east coast. His name was Jumper Leggio, and that's his name. And they named a lot of stuff after my dad. And he taught me to. You know what? I had a great mentor in life, and I am doing the same things he has, and I built some.
- [12:01]
F
The wrestling coaches that my brother and I had were state champion wrestlers, too. And they became very good friends with us. We also friends with them to do social things with them. But one of the guys I liked was Finn because he was our weight, you know, and he would wrestle us. What was his name? John Finn. Look at guys laughing about him.
- [12:20]
A
Flynn.
- [12:21]
F
The Flynn brothers, the Flynn twins were a little older than us, but the wrestling coach was also. Finn was his name, too. And we liked him because he was our way. And we used to. He used to teach us wrestling. We were good, man. We loved it. It was a great, great sport. Great learning thing. Well, I love the fact how the respect for your dad, these are the things that we want to bring back. We got a lot of things happening here at the warehouse, and I know we got well over 100 seats that have already been purchased to come in tonight for Charlie Kirk. The Patriots podcast is going to be covering a memorial for Charlie and what an incredible movement he has had. We got like 50 seconds. Liza, did you see the effect of that while you were in Italy? Were you there when Charlie was there? And also I want to hear from the people how they feel. Felt about Trump when you were there. If you got 40 seconds.
- [13:15]
D
Yeah, absolutely. It's amazing to see when you're there in person versus what you're hearing on the media. And I will say that they really knew about the details of Charlie Kirk's assassination and they were very upset about it. The regular locals and also the shopkeepers where we went for certain events. It wasn't something that I expected, but I was so heartened to see and that they were also supportive of Trump because Meloni, right for Italy, Trump gave her great applause yesterday during his speech. So yes, Italy is behind Trump.
- [13:52]
F
That's a great thing to see. Everybody's behind Trump and God is pushing him.

It's stewardship. It's real impact. And it's only available for a limited time. So don't wait. Lock in your rate before it drops. Visit americaschristiancu.com and get started.

It's a live look at Chicago, Illinois, this morning. No, we're not in black and white this morning. It's just really dark there. You see Lake Michigan off there. I'm sure it's a little bit chillier there than it is in West Palm Beach. Here in Long island, we've had ups and downs with the weather. We're gonna keep it in Illinois. Our discussion in Illinois for this segment right now. Welcome back to American Sunrise EARLY edition. I'm Jake Novak. Special welcome to those of you on the getter and the rumble chats, watching and commenting on substack and on X. You can watch the show live on X and then you can keep the link and watch it all day if you'd like. Why not? Illinois Governor J.B. pritzker is openly now in defiance of the federal government. He's been that already, but now he's really, I think, going too far. Listen to his threat against ICE agents who are just doing their job and trying to apprehend illegal aliens, dangerous illegal aliens in his state. Listen to what he's threatening them with. Check it out.
- [17:42]
F
The tables will turn someday. These people should recognize that maybe they're not going to get prosecuted today, although.
- [17:48]
B
We'Re looking at doing that.
- [17:51]
A
But they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration for the things that they.
- [17:56]
F
Did because the statute of limitations won't have run.
- [18:01]
A
Emily Finn joins us now. Emily, let me get this straight. You're an ICE agent arresting a dangerous illegal alien, and the governor of Illinois is threatening to arrest you, maybe not now, but later? Are you kidding me?
- [18:14]
D
It makes absolutely no sense, Jake. I mean, his sole job, right, is to keep the people of Illinois safe, to make sure that they are happy that his constituents are safe and having normal lives. And this is the one thing that he should be throwing his weight behind and supporting. He's calling President Trump. I saw this article on the Daily Beast trying to say that President Trump has mental health issues because of his crackdown on crime through ICE throughout the entire country. And that is just unbelievable because the president, for the Democrats over the past four years actually had mental health issues. He was asleep at the wheel for four years.
- [18:48]
E
He.
- [18:48]
D
And that's why crime has been running rampant all over the US and so finally President Trump is doing something about it. And JP Pritzker really needs to get his priorities in check.
- [18:57]
A
Yeah, I have a personal message for JB Pritzker if he's listening or if someone wants to send this clip to him. The Democratic Party is using you, using you and your money and your big mouth as a useful idiot. If you think that the DNC is going to let you get within a million yards of the White House, you're the one who has mental illness problems. They will never let you touch the presidency. There's not going to be a real primary process like the Democrats haven't had a real primary process since 2008. You think they're going to change it now? You will not be the person that they crown as their nominee. This is why he's doing all this stuff, Emily. I'm sure you've seen it. I know there's a lot of talk about that in Chicago though. You're in Florida now, but you did live it. You did live there. This guy actually thinks he's going to be president one day. How can we get him out of this delusion?
- [19:46]
D
I don't know. I don't know if there is a way. But the Democrat Party is in shambles right now that someone like this actually thinks that they have a chance of getting that crown and getting the nomination. The fact of the matter is though, Jake, even if he does, even if he pulls off some miracle and is able to convince the party to throw their support behind him, he's never going to convince the American people with a record like this, an anti safety record like this, he's never going to be successful in any run on a national scale.
- [20:12]
A
Yeah, I mean, listen, the Democrats roadmap to success for years, to winning presidential elections was taking people from red or purple states. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, whatever you think of those two guys, at least they learned how to campaign in states where there was some kind of divide, where the vote wasn't a foregone conclusion. But people like Kamala Harris and J.B. pritzker and Gavin Newsom who never face any real challenges, not from the politicians in their state because they're one party states and certainly not from their local news media. They are going to get lousy national candidates. It's like getting a kid out of high school and then throwing them in the NFL. They need seasoning and he doesn't have it. Emily Finn, thank you so much for joining us. We'll see you in the 8 to 10am hours and again tomorrow here. Thank you.
- [20:56]
D
Loved our chat this morning. Jake, thank you so much.

I'm Rodney Williams. And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break. Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger. And that's exactly why we created the wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins. We're here to talk about the journey.

As we get further into fall, these live shots from American cities are gonna get darker and darker on this program. I apologize. That's the way it goes. But this is a live look at Atlanta, Georgia. Welcome back to AMERICAN sunrise EARLY edition. Let's take a look at where the markets are going to open this morning. And boy, when I show you these numbers every morning, you know, I think that most days those numbers kind of hold, that they're positive in the morning, they end up positive at the close in the afternoon. Boy, we've been up and down. There have been some really volatile days. A lot of money is being made on buying and selling and just volume the last couple days because we've had opens and then things go crazy one way or the other. Yesterday, mostly higher we closed, but it was all over the place again. Looks like we're going to open high. But take a look at gold, folks. 42, 59 per ounce just keeps reaching new all time highs. And the percentage gains on a day to day basis are also big. Look at that 1.4% the gain right now for gold. Crude oil still well below 60 bucks a barrel even though it's up this morning. That's an interesting number as well. Now let's take a look at bitcoin. Bitcoin not really joining this party lately. It's at 111 again, down from that 125 high we had about 10 or days ago or so. But that's the way that's going. Hey, I want to talk about the whole situation with the rare earths battle because I know this is something that's a little bit confusing for folks. And everybody knows, of course, the mainstream media is not going to explain it to you. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, however, did do a good job of explaining the rare earth situation and how we got into this mess here in the United States. Scott Besson said the same thing I said yesterday on this program and the day before. A guest on this program said rare earths, all those minerals that are needed, all those metals that are needed for high tech type stuff and things in your car, things in our weapon systems, they're actually not rare, as the Treasury Secretary said. And we've been saying what's rare is the ability to mine them and to refine them properly. The United States used to do that a lot. Why did it stop? The answer is China. China. The Chinese companies that do all the mining, that do all the refining undercut the American companies. In other words, they went to the large tech companies, they went to the auto companies and they said, we can do this, we can deliver this for you cheaper. Even though it's going to be mined in another country. They undercut the American businesses and so they stopped paying all that money to refine and mine the rare earths. This is basically a trade violation. It's called dumping. When you bring in a product or a service at a much lower price than anyone could afford, the government backs up the companies doing that in their country so they can afford to live and eat while they destroy our businesses. That's why we got into this mess with rare earths, because basically our mining companies and refining companies were being undercut by China. This was an act of economic warfare. And now we're trying to get back there. That is why we're in this renewed trade battle with China. They actually started it. I know I sound like a third grader when I say this, but they started it by undercutting our mining and refining businesses. That's my best explanation. Now go tell everybody else who's bothering you about it. All right? Now here's something I know will actually warm your heart or everyone's heart. I know we've all been worried about the banks. I know you go to sleep every night worrying about Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. I'm just kidding. But they are doing really, really well. This has been a week of the bank's earnings reports. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, the aforementioned Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, Citigroup, they all came out with their earnings reports this week. And guess what? They're real and they're spectacular. In an atmosphere when the Fed is lowering rates, the Fed is lowering rates on the amount of interest that the banks have to pay each other or the banks have to pay the Fed. In other words, they're getting money and cash from the government at a much lower rate than they're lending it out to you and me or investing it out to others. They love these kinds of situations. The banks are getting rich. The investment banking world has also woken up that's independent of The Fed, there's been a lot more mergers and acquisitions. The rich are definitely having a very good summer and fall. I know you're worried about them, but you don't need to be worried about them anymore. Okay, now this AI stuff is starting to get really real. Walmart kind of real. Walmart announced yesterday and the day before that. Now they're going to be using AI and chat GPT in particular for Walmart.com now for those of you who don't know, Walmart.com has been probably the most improved and powerful E retailing website in America over the last ten years or so. It is getting very, very good. It is starting to really cut into Amazon's business. When was the last time you thought anyone would ever say that? And so for Walmart to embrace a, an advanced AI program on their website, which is already gaining on Amazon and something Amazon isn't quite doing yet, that's a big deal. And that is why Walmart shares by the way closed at an all time high yesterday and the day before that. They did it as well. It keeps going higher. Walmart is basically, it's the revenge. It's the Empire Strikes back, folks. They may end up winning this battle with Amazon in the end after all. And what an amazing story that would be. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. It's moving America. Sponsored by artillery tea company artilleryteaco.com use promo code LIBERTY for 20% off your order. Artillery Tea is all natural whole leaf.

We've been talking about this for years and on this show we've been talking about it for weeks. I love some of the Chrysler products, I love some of the Jeep and Dodge products. But every time Stellantis, which is the latest owner of Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, you know they've had a lot of owners including Mercedes obviously was an American owned company at one time. It never seems to work. The Jeep brand is really the only one that's very, very strong but more power to them. They say this $13 billion investment over the next four years is going to create 5,000 new U.S. automaker jobs. That would be great. I'm certainly hoping it works. Out for them. But they've got to do something about some of their models that are just not as reliable as Ford and GM's models, let alone the Japanese models. But hey, they do make some amazing Jeeps. And speaking of Stellantis and Jeeps, last week I told you about how the Grand Wagoneer was going to stick around, but they were getting rid of Stellantis was just the regular rag Wagoneer brand. This is similar to what they did with Cherokee. Although they brought Cherokee back, they kept Grand Cherokee, got rid of Cherokee, now they're bringing it back. I'm sure they'll bring Wagoneer back one day also. But for the time being, it's just going to be the Grand Wagoneer. And with that change comes a price change as well. Now, this year's Grand Wagoneer, the cheapest one you can get, retails for about $87,000. Next year, the new Grand Wagoneer is going to have a lot of options, including some expensive ones, but they will have one that it will be under $65,000. So look for that. For those of you who have been about 20 grand short of getting the Wagoneer that you want, now you can get it. Here's some encouraging safety News. When the AAA conducted a test in 2019, it tested all these automatic car safety features to see how well they did avoiding hitting pedestrians at night. They all failed. This was six years ago. None of them did any. None of the models, none of the new technology did well at all, which is really disturbing because 75% of pedestrian deaths on the road come at night. Well, What a difference six years makes. Now, 60% of those programs worked perfectly. They avoided 60% of the pedestrians in these tough nighttime situations. I know that's not perfect. That's still a lot of people getting hit. I get it. But that's a big jump forward. And I want to point out one model in particular, the 2025 Toyota Camry, had a 100% success rate with its automatic safety feature not hitting pedestrians. So there you go. All right, now for the most important part of this program and probably the rest of our lives. Okay, I'm stretching it a little bit here, but Ford, Ford has teamed up with a company called a Cut Above Buckles. It's a boutique metal workshop in Utah. And they have created something called the truckle. That's truck and belt buckle put together. It's a handmade belt buckle that can hold a Ford key fob. You can look this up and see pictures of it and buy it online if you want to I will give you my address so you can buy from me. I think I need this thing. Yes, I want and need this item. Each truckle features an intricate engraving of an F150 Ford F150 front end on the COVID plate. And then the usual, you know, four blue oval, their little logo, their blue oval sitting proudly on a truck's license plate. Now the number 1975 is on also every truckle as well, because 1975 was the year that Ford introduced the Ford F150. So it's the 50th anniversary. That's why they're doing this. It goes for 100, $200. That's not bad. I think it's $34 if you also want the belt. So if you just buy the buckle, it's 200 bucks. What a bargain. It hasn't deterred fans, that price tag. It has already sold out the first wave of them. They're gonna make more. Anyway, it's called the Truckle. I'm teasing you here. I'm not showing you the actual truckle because I want you to check it out. It's a lot of fun. Anyway, there you go, the truckle. Okay, back to work. Gotta get back to work here. And stop with my wish list. Remember the magistrate in North Carolina who didn't pass the bar, by the way, who let the career criminal go before he killed Ukrainian refugee Irina Zyrutska? Well, wait until you hear something else about that magistrate that my next two guests after the break uncovered all by themselves. American Sunrise, early edition. We'll be right back.

I'm Rodney Williams. And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the wealthbreak. Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger. And that's exactly why we created the wealthbreak. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins. We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business. We're bringing you their stories. And we're not stopping at success stories.

It's Thursday, October 16th. Here are today's top stories. Democrats continue to try to look desperate and angry all about a shutdown of their own making. The latest stunt was a loud near riot outside of Speaker Mike Johnson's office. But here's something the Democrats really should get really upset. This is Harry Entin. He's the polling guru over at CNN, and he says their chance of winning the 2026 midterms are plummeting. Now the question is, will the Republicans do the work to keep the Congress? An independent investigation has uncovered shocking evidence about the North Carolina magistrate who freed the career criminal who murdered Ukrainian refugee irina Zyrutska. That's J.B. pritzker you're looking at. He's all in favor of freeing innocent people, too, guilty people, too. You're not going to believe all the stuff that I have for you on this story from our guests who uncovered the information. American Sunrise EARLY EDITION continues. Now that was my fault. I decided to throw in another picture of J.B. pritzker there because honestly, I mean, all joking aside, this guy is threatening federal agents, ICE agents who are just doing their job, trying to arrest dangerous illegal aliens. This isn't somebody who's just selling candy on the street, by the way. If they were doing that, we would have heard these stories already. The best they've got is Kilmer, Abrego Garcia, who was probably a child human trafficker and we know he was a wife beater. That's the best they got. If ICE were really arresting a bunch of innocent, pathetic, sympathetic people, we would have heard millions of their stories by now. Not so much. And J.B. pritzker literally wants to arrest ICE agents who were trying to protect the American people. Just incredible. So I'm not upset that we threw his picture up there again. But I have something really interesting for you here. I love it when ordinary Americans prove that they can be a lot better than the mainstream media when it comes to real journalism. So joining us right now from two separate locations this is high tech today are Patrick McVeigh and Shannon Connor. They host an X spaces and a rumble stream called Jinxed Sip, and it's a website also called jinxed sip.com. and first, I want to remind the audience about the story that we're going to talk about here. This is the murder of Irina Zaruska, the Ukrainian refugee. Everyone has seen this surveillance video who was on a commuter training in Charlotte, North Carolina. And the man behind her, a career criminal with massive number of arrests, was let free on the streets. And as this video will continue, we're not going to show you, obviously, all the gruesome stuff. He ends up stabbing her to death. Now, Patrick and Shannon have found something about the magistrate. We know that it wasn't a full judge, but a magistrate judge who freed this guy. As you see, he's about to stab and kill this woman. He had many arrests, many violent arrests. Now, we learned that she probably didn't pass the bar. But Patrick and Shannon, you found out something else about this woman in the last few days. Tell us about that. Let's go to Shannon first. Ladies first.
- [43:48]
D
Yeah. You know, we have, you know, we dug in and we found a lot of evidence that she actually does not live in North Carolina, which would make her completely ineligible to be a magistrate in Mecklenburg County. It's kind of wild stuff.
- [44:08]
A
Patrick, tell us the woman that we're talking about, her name is Teresa Stokes, is that correct? And where does she live?
- [44:15]
F
Yes, it's a Teresa Stokes. And all, all evidence points towards her.
- [44:20]
H
Living in East Lansing, Michigan, not.
- [44:23]
A
All right, so Carolina at all. So what was some of the evidence? Either one of you can join in here. What was some of the evidence that you found? I mean, was it like mortgage stuff or what was some of the, what were some of the documents that you uncovered?
- [44:40]
F
Well, so we, I did a FOIA request for the qualified voter file for.
- [44:46]
H
Michigan, and her and her wife are registered to vote in Michigan. Her wife updated her registration in 2024.
- [44:55]
F
Which was a entire year after she.
- [45:00]
H
Was appointed in North Carolina as a magistrate. That's the one of the big ones.
- [45:09]
A
And I think there's also some kind of residency as well, correct? I mean, you have, you even, like, have the address. We're not going to let people know. I mean, we don't want to have people harass anyone. But there's also an address that, that's involved here, right, Shannon?
- [45:20]
D
Yeah. Yeah. So we were able to do, you know, just basic public information checks, and we were able to confirm that her. Their most recent address is in East Lansing, Michigan. Her wife actually had received a speeding ticket in the state of Virginia about six months after the appointment. And their address on that speeding ticket is their East Lansing, Michigan address in the state of North Carolina. They have, I believe it's 60 days after moving to the state to actually update their address.
- [45:56]
A
Incredible. Patrick, I want to ask you, were you surprised about how easy it was to find this information? And what do you think about the fact that there's been almost no further investigation of this by the mainstream media? I mean, not even like the local channels in North Carolina? You would think that this would be a hot story. Ever since you guys put this out on X, it's gotten a lot of traffic. I mean, if I'm a local news director in Charlotte or Raleigh or anywhere in North Carolina, I'm saying to my, you know, some reporter, hey, get me something on this person. Let's. And it doesn't seem like they did it. Does that surprise you that you guys were the first to find this all out?
- [46:33]
F
It was very surprising because there were.
- [46:35]
H
Even other people on X that dug into her. And I guess they didn't realize that everything pointed back to Michigan. Nothing pointed to North Carolina other than her wife was from North Carolina.
- [46:50]
F
That's the only thing that pointed to Carolina.
- [46:54]
A
Interesting. You know, Shannon, I want to ask you a bigger picture question. And, you know, again, this is going beyond just your investigation. Although I'm going to guess this played a little bit of a role in what maybe motivated you to go find this out. But it really does feel like there's a coordinated effort in the blue cities, even if they're blue cities in otherwise red states for major lenience on criminals. But I don't necessarily think it's necessarily, necessarily to get their vote. They're not looking to release that guy who killed Irina Zaruska so he can go vote for the Democrats. I have a feeling he doesn't vote. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna go out on a limb there, but it feels like they're trying to create a cultural and an on the ground reality in some of these Cities where maybe people feel like they are afraid that maybe they won't go outside, maybe they won't actually peek into what their politicians are doing. It's almost like they've got like kind of a thug army going on. It's a. It's a lot of Clockwork Orange stuff kind of going through my mind. I wonder if you see it the same way, Shannon.
- [47:55]
D
You know, I really do. I myself, I live in a blue state. I'm in a deep, deep, deep blue county. So I feel like I am stick out like a sore thumb a little bit. But, you know, I see it a lot here as well, that you have people that are doing things that are heinous and they're getting out on bail or they're just not getting the charges that they should be having. And it seems like they're really just trying to not have a judicial system where they're just letting everybody go free because they feel like it's inhumane to have them incarcerated. But it's not. It's for the safety of everybody else around them. And I think it's just something that eyes need to be on because it's not just Charlotte, North Carolina that this stuff is happening in.
- [48:43]
A
Have either of you, Patrick or Shannon, seen the movie Demolition man where the so called peaceful leader of that society in the future deliberately lets out violent criminals every once in a while so that they can sort of reassert their power? Am I crazy? Have you seen that movie? It's with Wesley Snipes. It's Sylvester Stallone. But this is actually. This is something that at least some of our fiction authors kind of knew is a little bit part of the political power structure. Obviously this kind of must have happened in ancient times. I don't know. Have you seen this film and either one of you? Because that's really the plot there.
- [49:13]
D
Yeah, I haven't. I'm sure my husband has, though.
- [49:16]
F
I have not. No.
- [49:18]
A
Okay. Well, I may have ruined the plot, although I don't think it's that much of a spoiler alert. I do want to ask you though, also about what you think the response to this should be from, let's say, the more established political class. I think that, for example, the Republican Party. And this is something that President Trump. President Trump had a lot of messages during his 2024 campaign. But one of the ones that I thought really resonated really well was when he basically said, look, this is the party of common sense. Now I'm the candidate of common sense. I don't know how you can lose this argument if you go before the American people and say, hey, you don't like this policy, that policy, that's one thing. But can't we all agree that someone with 16 or 17 violent arrests shouldn't be freed on the streets by someone who isn't even a resident of our state, who didn't pass the bar? And if you can't definitively say you're against that, then you shouldn't be running for any office. I mean, honestly, has anyone, I should ask you, has anyone approached you in North Carolina, any politician or group and said, hey, can we get more of your information? Can you help us push this out, or am I the only one who's publicizing your work nationally right now?
- [50:26]
F
You would be the only one. So far, yes. Yeah, nobody has reached out.
- [50:32]
A
All right. Well, again, you know what? I would love for to listen. I love the title Exclusive guys, but this is just too important. Seriously, if anyone is watching, those of you who are watching this clip, this needs to get out there, you know, And I also think one more question I want to ask you is whether you're seeing another thing that I'm seeing here. I think a lot of this has to do with dei. Now, this really makes me scratch my head a little bit because North Carolina has plenty of African American residents and there are a number of states, including red states, that basically have quotas. They want to have a certain number of minority people in particular positions, whether it's magistrate, judge or maybe at a state university and things like that. I have a feeling that they're so desperate to fill these quotas that they're okay with importing people from another state just to fill the quota. Even though, as I said, there's plenty of African Americans who are probably a 10 times more qualified than Teresa Stokes is for that job in North Carolina. But maybe they just wanted a Democrat or someone who would do what they told them because they have this to hold over their head. Hey, you don't do what I want. And we're going to let everyone know you're from Michigan and didn't pass the bar. I mean, I feel that that is also a narrative at play right here.
- [51:37]
D
Shannon, I do think that you are possibly right. The, the judge, the clerk of Superior Court that actually nominated Stokes to her position that she's in now, she has been a very vocal proponent of DEI all the way dating back to 2018. Just very vocal about it.
- [51:59]
A
All right. Patrick McVeigh and Shannon Connor, they are. You can find them on jinxed sip.com they have spaces. They do X spaces. They have a rumble show as well. Everyone check them out. The website I'm sure is where you can find all the information. It's only Thursday, but have a great weekend guys. And thank you so much for your work and thank you for joining me. Especially you Shannon, coming from the Pacific time zone and joining us this early. Thank you so much.

Thanks for having us.

I'm Rodney Williams. And I'm Travis Holloway. Welcome to the Wealth Break. Let's be honest, building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle, and relying on your community to create something bigger. And that's exactly why we created the Wealth Break. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles, and real wins. We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed, and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business. We're bringing you their stories. And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same. So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place. Listen to the Wealth Break podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

It's a live look at Peaks Island, Maine. Some of you may be asking, why is it so much brighter there? Well, Maine juts out to the east. It's further east, so they get an earlier sunrise than the rest of us. I used to live in Maine for a short time. I was never at Peaks Island. That's a beautiful spot. That's a new. I like when we have these newer shots and we go all around the country. So thank you for that control room. And yes, just a few minutes on this program, I did reference and commit a spoiler on the movie Demolition man starring Wesley Snipes and Sylvester Stallone. But sometimes movies help us understand crazy things going on in our society. And believe it or not, that movie for some reason actually explains some of the things the Democrats are doing right now. So check it out. Welcome back to America's Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Jake Novak. I want you to check out CNN's Harry Entin. I see him at football games, by the way, on many weekends. Here he is going crazy about something other than football and you can tell why he's upset. Check it out. Okay, so you know, if you go back six months ago, you go back to April when what were we looking at? Well, we were looking at the Democrats with a very clear shot of taking control of the US House of Representatives. According to the Cauchy Prediction market odds, we saw him in an 83% chance, but those odds have gone plummeting down. Now we're talking about just a 63% chance while the GOP chances up like a rocket, up like gold, up from 17% to now a 37% chance. So we'll look like a pretty clear. Yeah. Harry Entin, you know, he's a Democrat and he admits that, but he's usually pretty truthful. I don't know how much longer he's gonna last at CNN if he keeps telling the truth. David Brody tells the truth. He joins us right now. I'm surprised it's still at 63%. I mean, what the Democrats don't seem to understand in my opinion is how unpopular some of these positions are. If they just generically say we don't like Trump, then they do fine. But when they come out in favor of illegal aliens, when they start saying you shouldn't attack gunboat, drug gunboats and all that kind of stuff, I mean, these are incredible. And when they say they want boys in the girls locker room, don't they see how incredibly unpopular those positions are? Yeah.
