Guaranteed Human. Just ahead on American Sunrise, President Trump takes the national stage, projecting strength, confidence in a clear path forward on Iran, promising peace through power, avoiding endless war, and putting America first. What did he say? We'll recap for you up next. Plus, President Trump expected to back a Senate plan, plan to reopen most of Homeland Security as a shut off, shut off, shutdown standoff. There you go. Drags on. After weeks of airport chaos and missed paychecks, will the break deadlock? Will this break the deadlock? Also later, for the first time in more than 50 years, astronauts are headed beyond low Earth orbit. Artemis 2 officially on its way around the moon. Not stopping, though. America's return to deep space, making history. Some of us are trying to understand why you go there and go in circles and don't go in. But we'll have those stories so much more as American Sunrise starts right now.
- [01:05]
C
Good morning, America.
- [01:08]
B
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
- [01:13]
D
Politics.
- [01:14]
C
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.
- [01:18]
D
We've got you covered.
- [01:20]
C
This is what it looks like to be a patriot.
- [01:22]
D
We have to protect the American family.
- [01:25]
B
The American dream is still alive.
- [01:28]
C
I'm David Brody.
- [01:30]
D
I'm terrence.
- [01:30]
B
And I'm Dr. Gina. Good morning, everybody. I'm Dr. G. We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. There was a boat show here this weekend and I completely missed the whole thing because I was out of town. Just want to let you all know that I've been battling the truck. It's really unjust because I love boats and I've been battling the traffic that has been insane to get to work and from work every single day. Can't park anywhere, can't get anywhere. Like they were charging, I think, $80 to park in the garage right here.
- [02:04]
C
What?
- [02:04]
B
Yeah, in our garage. In our garage right here by the studio. And then I didn't even get the reward of going to the boat show. So anyway, I'm sure there's something more important than that. My ski trip with no snow, you know, I don't know. There's just a lot going on here. Somebody better start talking about news or I'm going to start spinning billing. Yeah.
- [02:22]
C
You're over two. You're over two already.
- [02:25]
D
Yeah. You're not doing too well right now, Dr. Gina. So let's do talk a bit about news. And of course, the big headline is President Trump's primetime speech last night about Iran. He basically said that everything is on track and that completion of military objectives should be coming soon. Soon, kind of in parentheses, two to three weeks is the number. He floated. But here, here he is. Yourself, you can hear for yourself.
- [02:49]
E
I've made clear from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury that we will continue until our objectives are fully achieved. Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We are going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing. Regime change was not our goal. We never said regime change. But regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders. Death. They're all dead. The new group is less radical and much more reasonable. Yet if, during this period of time, no deal is made, we have our eyes on key targets.
- [03:46]
D
All right, Gina and David. So I think it may have been comforting, the President basically saying two to three weeks and we should have everything complete and be ready to pull out if that's, you know, if that's the timeframe. But I don't know. I still have questions, Doctor. Gina, did you get all the questions last night that you wanted answered?
- [04:05]
B
Well, since, as David Brody pointed out this morning, I believe in our production call, he never said the word ground troops at all, didn't address, no comment. So that meant that a lot of America went, oh, okay, well, we're not gonna. We're not going to insert any ground troops. That's great. But is that what that meant, David Brody? I don't know the answer to that. And I was, my whole time, this whole time, like, I literally was like, that's it. I don't know about anybody else. That's what I was thinking. I was like, that's what. Wait. Huh? I didn't understand. I mean, I understand. This could, in fairness to President Trump, this could have been. This could have been a speech that was not targeted to the American people, but was instead targeted toward foreign enemies. Right, David?
- [04:48]
C
Yeah, I think so. And look, in terms of the ground troops, just the fact that, the fact that he didn't say anything about ground troops doesn't mean that there's not going to be any ground troops. I mean, this is typical President Trump. In a good way, right? Art of the deal, keep your options open. No reason to let the enemy know anything whatsoever. It's called the element of surprise. Hello. It's War 101. You know, to me, what's interesting here is the time frame. President Trump says two to three weeks, okay, do, do, do calculation, blah, blah, blah. We're in the fifth week now. Two to three weeks puts it. Oh, look at that, right at about 60 days. Well, the 1973 War Powers Resolution literally says Congress must give approval after 60 days if there's going to be a war after that timeframe. So this puts it right at around 60 days, which should not, we shouldn't, it should not be lost on us at all that this could wrap up before that 60 day threshold because then Congress would have to get involved and that becomes another can of worms. I think that's important. One last thing about last night, which I thought was interesting, he said, look, you need to keep it in perspective. He actually used the word context and perspective. And he said, World War I, a year and change. World War II, three years. Vietnam, 19 years. And then he lowered his octave and said, this war, 32 days. You know, everybody, slow your roll. The no forever war crowd, who's concerned about this? And I get it, don't get me wrong, I understand the concerns, but we're talking 32 days as opposed to 19 years in Vietnam. So let's just settle it down here and let's see where we go.
- [06:24]
B
Yeah, well, some of us are thinking historically, and we're a little older and wiser, and we just want to have, we want, we want to be the accountability partner for the president that we love.
- [06:33]
C
Yes.
- [06:33]
B
All right, let's go to today's Bible verse. It is Second Corinthians, verse 4, chapter 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment is working for us, a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. What a beautiful one. Let's bring in Tennessee Congressman John Rose. Congressman, what is your thoughts? How, what is your estimation? What does President Trump's speech have to do with, with his own war powers? Without permission of Congress, how soon do you think operations wrap?
- [07:07]
C
Well, thank you.
- [07:07]
F
Thank you for having me on the show this morning. I think the President has made it clear from the beginning that we had clear objectives. We've done a lot to achieve those objectives. So I think he is, I think he's being very direct when he says this war should end or this conflict should end fairly quickly. We do need to accomplish those objectives. We've seen presidents for 47 years postpone, put off, equivocate on calling Iran to task for the violence that it's committed around the world. The thousands of Americans who've been killed or injured by Iranian troops or forces or their proxies and the president is taking that on to make the world a safer place. You know, peace through strength does require strength to be displayed at times, and I think that's what you see happening here. I think the president was trying to reassure Americans and communicate to the world about the resolve that he has to finish the job.
- [08:07]
C
Congressman, let me move to a conflict here at home, specifically the DHS funding. It looks like there is finally some sort of way forward here, as you know. Here's the Associated Press. Republican leaders in Congress have now announced plans to end the Homeland Security shutdown. They're basically going to do this, as you know, on two tracks and the Senate plan, which is basically what they're going to do, is they're going to fund DHS in its entirety except for ICE and CBP, and then fund ICE and CBP, they hope, through reconciliation by June 1st. So help me through this a little bit because the Senate had passed this on voice vote. It went over to the House and Mike Johnson, the speaker, said, this is a horrible thing. We're not going to do this. And now we're doing it. So what's going on?
- [08:56]
F
Well, I have the same question. I will tell you, I can't support something that gives in to the blackmail that the Democrats have been attempting against the American people and the Congress to defund ICE and customs and border protection. I'm open to solutions of how we solve this problem. And if Republicans have to do it on our own through the reconciliation process, I'm open to hearing about how that path might work. But I'm not in favor of capitulating to the Democrats and turning over the safety and security of the American people by defunding law enforcement, something Democrats have been advocating now for several years. That's what they're fighting for here in this third government shutdown in six months, this third Schumer shutdown. They're using the American people and our safety and security. They're using us as pawns. They're using us as leverage. And I don't think we should countenance that. And I don't think that that's the right way forward for the House. But I'm also practical. If there's a way for Republicans to get the job done without the help of Democrats, I'm open to hear about that. I think it was shameless last week that Leader Thune put forward a provision in the dark of night when Americans were sleeping and that our senators came home even before that vote. And I think that there should be a better way forward. But I'm open to hearing the arguments and hoping to getting to a practical solution that fully funds ice, Customs and Border Protection and restores protections for the American people.
- [10:31]
C
Congressman, a quick follow up. The narrative out there is that Republicans blinked on this. Is that true?
- [10:38]
F
Well, I hope not. And I don't think anything is done yet because the House we have funded, we fully funded the government. We voted to do that several times, including last Friday, on a temporary basis basis and on a bipartisan basis. So I think it represents or signifies that some Democrats realize that what the Democratic Party and particularly Senate Democrats have been doing is wrong, that we should fully fund ICE and cbp. And so I hope that what we do here gets the job done without putting any more Americans in jeopardy and by paying those who we're asking to stand in harm's way for us. So that's, that's where I stand today. I could not support something that would be giving into the blackmail of the Democratic Party, using the American people as pawns to achieve their radical policies for opening our borders and letting illegals that are committing crimes into our country.
- [11:35]
D
Absolutely. Congressman, before we let you go, want to talk about the Artemis II mission. The crew starting its first full day in space today. In case you happen to miss it, here was yesterday's launch.
- [11:49]
C
Booster ignition and lift off. The crew of Artemis 2 now bound for the moon.
- [11:56]
G
Humanity's next great voyage begins.
- [12:05]
D
All right, Congressman, so this is the super bowl for space nerds like me, but there's a bigger context to this particular mission, particularly when it comes to the current space race and planting the flag, if you will, in space from all these other nations like China and Russia as well.
- [12:22]
F
Absolutely. I'm just old enough to remember the first moon landing in 1969. I was a little over 4, was 4 years old at that time. And that's one of my earliest memories as a child. And so it's welcome news to see America returning to the moon after all these years. And I think it is a demonstration of American leadership, technological prowess, and I'm proud of our country. And Godspeed to those astronauts who are on the Artemis II mission. We wish them well and looking forward to seeing them succeed at this mission. That's another step closer to Americans and the people of Earth returning to the moon, which will be a major step forward for us.
- [13:05]
B
Congressman John Rose, thanks for your time.
- [13:08]
C
Thank you.
- [13:08]
D
Thanks, Congressman.
- [13:09]
C
Thank you.
- [13:10]
B
Coming up, President Trump did not mention ground troops at the address last night. But is that option off of the table? Doesn't mean that we have expert analysis. Coming up on American Sunrise.
- [13:24]
H
America, the truth and the lies Born here is where I die. God bless America, the land of the free. Say a lot if you're standing with me. God bless America, the home of the brave all of the U.S.A. god bless America.
- [13:39]
I
This news break is brought to you by AMAC association of Mature American Citizens.
- [13:51]
C
Well, that's pretty cool. The Artemis II spaceship somewhere around New Jersey or I don't know where they are. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody. Let's get right to T. Bates. He's got David Zier standing by.
- [14:03]
I
Sponsored by amac, the association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice for Americans 50 and older. AMAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today together we can right the course of America.
- [14:20]
D
Well, folks, make sure to stay tuned for Real America's Voice or to Real America's voice tonight at 6:00 clock for coverage of a Turning Point event. Some of the key speakers are going to be Erica Kirk, Jack Posobec, as well as White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. Rav, of course, will have coverage of the entire thing for you, so make sure to tune in. RAV, correspondent and host of Breaking Point, David Zier is on the ground for us this morning. He's going to talk more about that event shortly. But David, first, you were at the Pentagon last night during the President's speech. Your reaction and what's the reaction from the Pentagon?
- [14:57]
G
The Pentagon is keeping its foot on the gas while possible peace talks continue. But they are not letting up. Sending hundreds of more air assets into the region, up to maybe 200 aircraft from Europe into the theater of operations over there, dozens more, a 10 close air support combat aircraft, three KC135 Strato tankers. But overnight UAE intercepted 19 missiles, 26 drones. Bahrain sent the another dozen missiles were downed and Israel had at least 10 more ballistic missile attacks. Just a point of interest, you know, the UAE already had 457 ballistic missiles launched at it, 19 cruise missiles and 20, 28 drones. To give you the scale of what's going on over there. And you know they're getting, you know, these interceptors aren't infinite resources. So we're stepping up production. Department of War announced yesterday a new partnership, Lockheed and Boeing, the PAC3, which is the intermediate air defense system interceptor missiles. We're tripling production of them and a lot going on and we're going to see where the next few days brings us. But I think we're going to continue to press on. And the Pentagon's committed to that.
- [16:13]
D
Absolutely. It's a story we'll continue to watch. Obviously, tonight we're going to have live coverage of of this Turning Point USA event. Talk about what to expect.
- [16:23]
G
Well, there's a great lineup of speakers. Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt, J.D. vance, Vice President of course, Ramaswamy Lawrence Jones borders our Tom Holman, Benny Johnson, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles at the Lindner Auditorium at GW holds about 1400 students. And you know, GW is a campus of about 25,000 people. It's my son's Alma material. He was the vice chair of the Republican Club. And he always told me about 10 years ago, you know, there were only 300 college Republicans and about 3,000 college Democrats. Only 5 to 10% of the students there identify as conservative socialists. Occupy Wall street living in tents. Meanwhile, they got keys to Beamers in their backpacks. One of the most expensive schools in the United States. But that TPUSA chapter has been growing. It was kind of dormant for a couple of years after 2022 and upon Charlie Kirk's assassination, they've got new life breathed into them. They're recruiting. There's been over 32 to 100,000 inquiries, depending on who you ask, into new chapters for Turning Point since Charlie Kirk's assassination. So GW alive and well with tpusa.
- [17:31]
D
All right. And we of course will have live coverage of the event here at 6 o' clock Eastern, Eastern on Rav. We appreciate you being with us this morning, David. Good to see you, my friend. Be safe for the rest of the day.
- [17:42]
G
Thanks so much, Terrence.
- [17:44]
D
Always. All right, folks, let's switch gears, get a quick check of our forecast. Weather Nation meteorologist Brittany Lockley keeping an eye on the skies for us. All right, Brittany, so I see that map there behind you, a lot of color. So I suspect that means a lot of rain and the potential for severe weather depending on where you live.
- [18:01]
J
Absolutely. A lot of rainfall from Dallas all the way up to Fort Chicago. A lot of people are going to have to get out their umbrellas, Terrence, for today, especially when it comes to those stormy conditions, we want you to have a way to get those warnings as well. You can always download the Weather Nation TV app as we take you throughout the next several hours. We're going to be dealing with some severe weather, especially for the afternoon. Take a look at this bullseye right here. That's an intense enhance risk. A level three out of five, Madison, Chicago, Peoria, but really anywhere that you see the yellows and the greens. This is where we're going to see how that severe weather threat for today. Now we're watching early this morning, the showers and the thunderstorms, they're going to continue to pick up as we head into the afternoon. Just around the time for your afternoon commute. Time to pick up your kiddos, head home from work. This is where we're going to see some strong storms rolling throughout Michigan in the Midwest. Eventually, we'll have some snowfall for areas like Minnesota, pushing into Wisconsin, where we are also watching out for the potential for some icing. So that is very dangerous because we could see some ice accumulation on the trees, power lines that can lead to some power outages. So this is what we're seeing right here with that ice storm warning for areas in Wisconsin. Now back to towards the Dakotas. We can see some pretty decent amount of snowfall, over 6 inches of snow. And here's a look at the weather conditions for today. Terrence, I'm going to send it back to you.
- [19:30]
D
All right, Brittany Lockley telling us how the weather is shaping up. Go ahead and scan that QR code there at the bottom of your screen to stay in touch with our friends over at Weather Nation. Up next, President Trump's blunt message on oil. Buy American or guard the Strait of Hormuz. Yourself. Ahead, the pressure the commander in chief is putting on allies. And what comes next, we'll discuss.
- [20:08]
C
So there's the White House. And I'm supposed to say something pithy about it, but all I can say think about it, is this bump music that sounds like Flashdance. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. All right, so when President Trump addressed the nation last night, he said countries that depend on the Strait of Hormuz or as he says, the Hormuz Strait. The Strait, the great strait. Anyhow, he says those countries that depend on the strait for oil should either buy it from the US or take the lead in securing the route with US Support. Take a look.
- [20:38]
E
So to those countries that can't get fuel, many of which refuse to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, we had to do it ourselves. I have a suggestion. Number one, buy oil from the United States of America. We have plenty. We have so much. And number two, build up some delayed courage. Should have done it before, should have done it with us as we asked. Go to the strait and just take it, protect it, use it for yourselves. Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done. So it should be easy. And in any event, when this conflict is over. The strait will open up naturally. It'll just open up naturally. They're going to want to be able to sell oil because that's all they have to try and rebuild. It will resume the flowing and the gas prices will rapidly come back down.
- [21:33]
C
Put another way, the New Yorker and President Trump is basically saying, go get the blanket oil yourself. Let's now bring in retired Navy captain and GOP strategist Armin Curtian with us on the show. Armin, thanks for being here. So, you know, it looks like the price of oil this morning per barrel is jumping after the president's speech, hearing that it's about 108 bucks a barrel. We'll see how it plays out. Is the president essentially saying that we might leave Iran without any resolution of what happens with the Strait of Hormuz? Because that would truly leave a lot of uncertainty at that point.
- [22:08]
K
Absolutely. Good morning. So when you look at, first of all, this comment about buying oil from the United States, sure, that would be great. And we can certainly export more oil, but even we can't produce quite that much. And when you have a state like here in California that's taking active measures to try to stop drilling and stop refining, that doesn't help matters either. Now, with regards to the spreads of Hormuz, a lot of traffic passes through there and it's, you know, as part of some negotiated settlement, would Iran reopen the straits in exchange for perhaps a sanctions relief or some other things? It's entirely possible. If we stop our combat operations and the straits are, you know, so to speak, closed because they're still attacking tankers, then you might argue that we're in a worse position where we were before. But looks like the Gulf states have, have actually started to try to help us a little bit, while NATO, which the NATO countries, European countries who rely on a lot of that oil, you know, haven't said any ships to help the convoys or escort ships coming through there or perhaps stop a lot of those drones and purely defensive measures. So there is a lot of uncertainty still to go.
- [23:18]
D
All right, so you mentioned NATO. Do you think that the US NATO relationship is at a crossroads? The Telegraph has this headline which says, trump interview. I'm strongly considering pulling out of NATO. President Trump has called the alliance a paper tiger, basically. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this in my lifetime, this sort of relationship. And it appears very clear that NATO is not supporting the United States in the operations in Iran. So back to the initial question. Are we at a crossroads Here.
- [23:50]
K
Well, a couple of things can be true at the same time. I think the President didn't do a good enough job to try to convince a lot of the European allies to come in and help us. I mean, obviously they would have known that Iran was going to start attacking ships in the straits or close it. They're trying to negotiate and try to get some escort ships coming in through there. At the same time, the President doesn't have the authority to unilaterally withdraw from NATO. In fact, it was just a few years ago, 2023, where Congress passed a law that says that the US cannot withdraw from NATO without a 2/3 majority to do that. And that was, that was actually a law that was co sponsored by our current secretary of state, Mr. Marco Rubio. So I would, you know, I understand the President is frustrated with our European allies and he has done a lot to bring them along, especially making sure that they pay their fair share for, for support of the NATO alliance as a whole and also supporting Ukraine and that work because that is in their backyard. But I would have preferred to see a little bit less strong rhetoric, maybe more of a carrot approach than a stick approach because his current approach isn't working. It's not convincing them, rightly or wrongly, they're not coming to support this effort, which in the long run would actually help them. I would like to see a little more, less of this rhetoric and perhaps not see a lot more behind the scenes work, if you catch my drift.
- [25:13]
C
Armin.
- [25:14]
B
Not lost on some of us is the fact that President Trump did not mention ground troops troops in the address last night, which is what many of us tuned in to hear about. Do you think though that means, because a lot of news media this morning, I'm flipping around as I'm getting ready for work, are saying, oh, that means that he's not going to send ground troops. That that's out of the question. But is that what that means?
- [25:37]
K
Not necessarily. Obviously. Again, the one thing the President does very well is he doesn't say what he is or is not going to do. You never do that in a military conflict. Whether or not something's actually a good idea. Having said that, you know, a sizable force that would be inserted into Iran to ostensibly say, extract, you know, uranium that is, that is in a certain location, if they know where it is, would be very, very challenging from a logistics standpoint. The President has, has got to understand that he could potentially lose a lot of Republican support. He's already losing a little bit of it in some places in terms of a supplemental bill, which he's not getting. But if he puts a lot of troops in the middle of Iran to try to retrieve that uranium, they would be very vulnerable no matter how well you try to protect them. And American servicemen could die inside of Iran. So far, that number is only 13. So that's something he's got to be very, very careful about. You'd almost be better off perhaps again, trying to go back to a system of containing them, constraining them, and sanctions vice sending in those troops because it's very likely that they still don't know where it is unless they have specific human intelligence that someone has said, hey, I know exactly where that uranium is. It's in this spot. It's buried under 40ft of rubble, and you'll be able to get to it in a couple of days. Maybe that might be something that you could actually do. But without that kind of intelligence, sending a bunch of troops in there to try to find it, if they don't know where it is, I would not personally be in favor of that.
- [27:08]
C
Yeah, I mean, to be clear, I'm not in favor of sending in ground troops if we can avoid it. At the same time, we keep hearing finish the job. So how do you do that without ground troops? I think that's the question. And what does finish the job really mean? So there's just a lot of unanswered questions. Armin, thanks for being here.
- [27:26]
B
Thank you, Armen.
- [27:27]
D
Thanks, Armin.
- [27:28]
K
Absolutely.
- [27:29]
C
All right, coming up, could just a few minutes of movement a day help protect your health? Well, that ruins it for me. A new study suggests quick bursts of vigorous activity, like taking the stairs or, I don't know, hustling for the bus or anchoring a show. I don't know. We're linked to lower risks of dementia, type 2 diabetes and early death. Hey, those developments next on American Sunrise.
- [27:59]
L
Hey, everybody. Bo Davidson here. I hope hope that you will check out my Easter special this Saturday and Sunday at 2pm Eastern, which is where I go to the Museum of the Bible and tour two amazing exhibitions, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Magino Mosaic. These are both very, very important to people of faith, and I hope that it will inspire you and your family this weekend. So please check it out. This weekend, Saturday and Sunday at 2pm Eastern.
- [28:21]
K
Happy Easter.
- [28:22]
I
This Easter weekend, Real America's Voice is taking you back in time. The Living Word. From scrolls to cross journey through history as host Bo Davidson explores the ancient writings that shaped the Bible as we know it today.
- [28:38]
L
What do you think is the biggest misconception?
- [28:40]
C
The biggest misconceptions early on was that somehow the scrolls were going to undo our beliefs. It actually does the opposite. What we are still practicing today has a genetic connection all the way back 2000 years.
- [28:50]
I
You don't want to miss this special event. Watch Saturday at 2pm and Sunday at 2pm only on real America's Voice.

B
Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. Chi. Thank you for joining us. It is time now for today's health news sponsored by the wellness company under the Microscope. Today, new research suggests you do not need long gym sessions to see major health benefits. I don't know about y', all, but this is good news to me. A study published in the European Heart journal tracking nearly 100,000 people over seven years found that just a few minutes of vigorous activity added to a day linked to lower risks of dementia, type 2 diabetes and early death. Researchers say even climbing stairs quickly, walking faster or running to catch a bus can make a difference. But the real difference is in strength training. Strength training, strength training. A lot of us thought for so many years that that anaerobic workout was really important to get your heart pumping. Turns out getting those muscles developed is what actually has the most health benefits. The Trump administration has brought a lot of positive changes when it comes to fixing our broken health care system. However, there's only so much the government can do. If we really want to make America healthy again, it'll have to start at home. And that's with each of us. And that's where the wellness company comes in.

A Los Angeles jury has awarded $6 million to a 20 year old plaintiff after finding Meta and YouTube liable in a case over addictive social media design the case centered around Instagram and YouTube, with jurors finding that platforms included features designed to keep young users engaged. The verdict should could affect thousands of similar cases now in the pipeline, and both companies say they will appeal. I want to bring in psychotherapist Thomas Kersing. Have you seen, I mean, of course you've seen these impacts in your practice. I'm trained to do what you do. I don't do it any longer. I just wonder, though, how do you control this, really? I mean, what if you had five minutes with our Congress to fix this, to put language in a bill? My husband always says to me, when I complain about anything in government, show me the bill that fixes it. Because a lot of times it's a lot harder to write a bill that draws that line at where my liberty stops and yours begins, which is at the tip of your nose. Right. I can do things, but I can't write. So these bills are hard to write?
- [32:15]
L
Yeah, 100%. I'm not a big fan of government oversight and getting involved in every element of our life. But when you look at the statistics since 2012, when the modern day weapons of mass destruction, the smartphone came out and all the social media apps that are within those, the mental health stats are off the charts. Anxiety, depression, suicidality with kids. And it has not stopped. It wasn't caused by Covid. And it's just we're in the midst of this and we have been and we need to take action because we're literally losing a generation of kids. And aside from all that, you know, you look at it like if you look at a teenager, they're spending eight or nine hours per day right inside of a screen, more than any other life activity, including sleep. So it's almost like they're behind these prison bars. They're sucked in this vortex. They're living in a virtual reality and they're not living here on planet Earth. So something has to be done. If it means legislation, I would be all for that.
- [33:13]
B
Yeah, it really has tribalized us at a whole new level. Not just children, I'm talking about adults. Too political, too. It's really just tribalized us to where we all kind of sit and look at our phones and then the algorithms start to match whatever we're looking at and spending the most time on. So if I'm researching, you know, polar bears in the Antarctic, then suddenly I am getting lots of stuff on polar bears. Right. But it is interesting that Indonesia has decided to crack down online. They've enforced a new rule as you mentioned, barring children under 16 from accessing social media at all. How do you do that, though, without stepping on, you know, libertarian toes?
- [33:54]
G
That's a.
- [33:55]
M
That's a good question.
- [33:55]
L
That's good. That's a tough one. I think it's a good move. Australia did it, and I think we're going to see it at some point. But how do you regulate that?
- [34:01]
K
Right.
- [34:03]
L
You know, every. Every time I go to the airport, they take my picture. I know we have, you know, visual identification. I don't know if we're going to go down that path. So it's very easy to circumvent, you know, social media. They already have these age limitations, but there's not really, you know, any way of any oversight. So if we. If they could pull that off in Indonesia and we can bring something like that here, then what we're going to have is children under the age of 16 that are now children that are free, that are outside in their natural habitat where they're supposed to be playing on the playgrounds, socializing, developing those skills with other kids, because they're not doing that right now.
- [34:38]
B
Don't you feel like, though, that really this comes down to parenting? Because I just. I'm picturing the bills you're talking about that, you know. Okay, well, if you're under 16, you don't have access. We're gonna have your face ID. Massive. I don't want anybody to have my child's face id. Let's start right there. But secondly, you know, the enforcement, you have parents who. They're gonna hand their children their phone so they can go around it because they want the children out of their hair. Right. Bad parents are still going to be bad parents. I'm sorry, I don't. I don't mean to sound preachy at all, and I don't even know your religious bent, but I think we need Jesus. I think we need God back in the schools. I think we need history taught in the schools. I think this comes back to something much more fundamental than new laws.
- [35:21]
L
So I've written, you know, I've written books on this topic. My recent book, Raising Healthy Teenagers, I talk about the God element. I'm Catholic. I go to church every Sunday, went to Catholic school. God is a missing ingredient. If you look at the millennial generation right now, go back 50 years ago, 95% of people had a biblical worldview, and I think it's maybe 30% among millennials. So God has been removed. And God. I'm glad you brought that up. So when you're not what we are ultimately distracted from, you look at our kids, the phones, all this stuff, right? We're distracted from self. Kids don't know self. They don't know what lies below the surface. That's what spirituality is. If you don't have that element, if you don't know that element inside of you, then you're sort of just this rogue being that's potentially moral. Less. That's another element of all this.
- [36:06]
B
No quiet, creative moments anymore. I was an only child of two. Only children. I didn't even have cousins. I didn't have neighbors. I had nothing. I had to sit there with my dog all day and try to figure out what to do. And you know what? I feel like those moments are important and missing in not just children's lives, but in our own lives today. Like right now, I do scroll when I'm bored. I start looking at news stories on my phone. We couldn't do that then. And I feel like something is really lost. That's hard to verbalize. But I think we have to get back to it. And I don't think it's about. I'm not saying that I don't agree with stopgap measures and laws that we could possibly create to help, but we have to be careful about liberty because for every bad problem, there's a bad solution. Right. And we have to be careful about attacking the wrong problem. God is not in schools. We don't teach history at school. Our kids don't understand how we got here, where we're going, where we came from. I just think all that's really important. And you know what? We have a great chance to restore some of that this weekend with it being Good Friday and Easter. A lot to talk about in our families this weekend.
- [37:09]
L
Absolutely. And you know, what are we? We're human beings. Right? What does that mean? What's the being part? It means silence. It means presence. It means consciousness. And our society's become a bunch of human doings.
- [37:20]
B
That is distracting. I'm getting a rap for my producers. I love to keep you. I think you and I could go to lunch sometime and talk about a lot of this stuff and maybe even solve some problems. Thomas Kirsting, thank you so much for being with us today.
- [37:34]

My pleasure. Take care.

D
Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's time to stay awake, not woke. And today we are discussing former DHS secretary Christy Noem and her family. A new controversy is surrounding Noem after a Daily Mail report alleged that her husband, Brian Noem sent cross dressing photos and hundreds of private messages to three women. A spokesperson for Noem says that she was devastated and that the family was blindsided by all of this. The family is also asking for privacy and prayers as this story develops. Let's bring in Dr. Jean and David to discuss a little bit more. There's so much to undress. I'm sorry, unpack here in all of this. David, you want to take first swipes at this one?
- [39:50]
B
Didn't Terrence.
- [39:52]
D
I did.
- [39:53]
G
He did.
- [39:53]
D
I did. Oh, okay. I'm going to put myself in timeout for this discussion and I'll leave it to you, too.
- [40:00]
C
You know, there's a lot of jokes to crack and I don't want to make any of them. This is a very, very, very sad story because let's just extrapolate this out to kind of a human level. Marriages sometimes aren't exactly what they seem on the surface. And I think a lot of us can relate to that. Listen, we all have our own baggage, okay? In this situation. Okay. This might be. Oh, I was about to make a joke. I was going to say excess baggage, but the point is, is that, look, there is a lot of stuff going on here and I just. My heart breaks for Christi Noem. This is deception. This is deceit. Alleged. Thank you. Alleged deceit and deception is what we understand and I think just as human to human Marriage to marriage, husband to wife. This is tough stuff. This is tough sledding. And it's really hard to get past Dr. G. Wow.
- [41:08]
B
I mean, she's had a tough road. You know, there was the dog story that broke earlier last year. Then there were the rumors of affairs that are everywhere. Then there was the hundreds of millions of dollar ad campaigns and the testimony where she said that President Trump knew about it ahead. And President Trump was like, I don't think so. It's been a rough road for Kristi Noem, having said all of this. She's a friend. We've become friends over the years. I, I do feel for her family. I, I agree with you, David, that it's not a laughing matter. But at the same time, it's so grotesque and so much of what's happening in government right now is so grotesque and so many of us want to see so much better from our government. And I think that's why I think there's some of the, of the levity in it, because people just even know how, I mean, how do these stories continue to break with the people that we entrust? You know, how did this story not come out in her run for governor? Why hasn't he disassociated himself before now rather than disgrace? And by the way, my family had dinner with her children not even just a couple weeks ago. And all I could think about when I read about this was how they feel. There's no saving them from this now. Had he stepped away early on personal responsibility, Step away. You know, you can have your deviances. Step away. Step away from the public eye so that your children aren't disgraced when the news comes out.
- [42:51]
D
David, I was just gonna say thank you for being indulged in this conversation. I'm somewhat ashamed that I chose to make a joke of this. But to that point, unfortunately, this is something that's difficult for the family. And when it comes to marriage, I think you kind of made this point that certain things just need to be handled privately. And the fact that it is so public, it definitely doesn't help them get through the challenges that are ahead. Go ahead, David.
- [43:17]
C
Just a quick person. I know we're over it. Just a quick 30 second or less personal story. I mean, I was with Kristi Noem and Brian in their home with their children on her ranch in 2012. So was about 14 years ago. I remember doing an interview with her at nine in the morning. It was a scheduling thing. We had to do it early. They said, why don't you come at 7am for breakfast? We did. And there was Brian cooking pancakes, eggs for our crew and his kids, everybody gathering around their prayer, around the table, saying prayer and all that stuff. So, I mean, you know, you just like, that's in my mind. And then this is in my mind, and I'm just like, my head is spinning.
- [43:56]
B
And, you know, I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. None. I don't care if he can flip a pancake. What he did to his family, to his children. Forget Christie even for a moment. They're adults. But these sweet children deserved better than to have this splashed across the television for the rest of their lives. Right?
- [44:15]
C
Yeah. I'm not saying because he flipped a pancake.
- [44:20]
B
Right. I'm just. I'm yelling at him right now, and he's not going to hear me, so it doesn't matter, but it makes sense. Me feel better. So. Thanks, guys.
- [44:25]
D
Yeah. It's an unfortunate situation, I think, all the way around and for everyone involved. Coming up, Easter Sunday is more than just a holiday. It is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise of hope, redemption, and a new life. So what does that ultimately mean for you today? We'll explain next here on American Sunrise. God bless the usa.
- [44:58]
C
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
- [45:07]
D
Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's now time for our moment of faith, which is brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible. In focus today, Easter is the heart of the Christian faith. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion on the cross, as John 11:25 declares. And this is a quote. I am the resurrection and the life. It's the fulfillment of God's promise, the victory over sin and death, and the blessed hope of eternal life for all who believe. Easter reminds us that the tomb is empty, that Christ is risen, and that God's love still redeems the world. Here's President Trump speaking on the holiday.
- [45:50]
E
On Good Friday, the Son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and he died for all of us. It was a day of darkness, but it wasn't the end by any means. It was not the end. On Easter Sunday, the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty. Christians everywhere rejoiced, and we continue to rejoice. Easter is one of the incredible days. It was a miracle in all of history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was one of the great. It was the great miracle, I guess.
- [46:31]
D
All right, let's bring in evangelist, pastor and the founder of revival today, Jonathan Shuttlesworth. Jonathan, it's always good to talk to you. I'm really excited about this conversation. I because in my estimation, obviously, we know the.
- [46:44]
C
I was excited about the last conversation.
- [46:49]
D
I think we need Jesus after the last conversation. Right. Really? I was trying to be serious here and you brought that up, John, this
- [46:58]
C
has to be the hardest left turn of a segue in the history of newscasting.
- [47:04]
D
Absolutely. We often talk about you. And I have often talked about Christianity being about relationship. And it seems to me that Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the fact that he died on the cross and rose again to absolve each and every one of our sins, that's the most fundamental relationship that one can have.
- [47:24]
C
It's the only religion where you can
- [47:26]
M
have a relationship with the God.
- [47:29]
C
I'm not saying this as a Christian who's biased. There's no other religion where the God claims to love the people who follows them. Not in Islam, not in Buddhism, not in Hinduism.
- [47:39]
M
But the thing that sets Christianity apart
- [47:42]
C
is God so loved the world that
- [47:44]
M
he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.
- [47:48]
C
And then not only do you go to heaven, there is, like you said, there's a relationship with God the whole
- [47:54]
M
time you're on earth that you can
- [47:55]
C
have through prayer and the word.
- [47:59]
D
Unfortunately, we've been cut short because of our jokes and our conversations.
- [48:04]
C
Husbands,
- [48:08]
D
I love you. Can I just say that I love you in the most Christian of ways, my brother.
- [48:13]
H
I love you, too.
- [48:14]
E
I love you, too.
- [48:15]
M
Happy Easter.
- [48:16]
D
Happy Easter to you, brother. We'll talk soon. That's Jonathan Shuttlesworth. Hilarious. All right, let me compose myself here. Be sure to tune in to Revival TODAY with Jonathan this Sunday morning here on rad. That, of course, will be Easter Sunday morning. We're back with the second hour of American Sunrise in two minutes. Did the man say rack?
- [48:44]
B
Coming up on the second hour of American Sunrise, President Trump tells the American people Iran is no longer a threat and that combat operations could conclude in two to three weeks. But the war isn't over yet. We'll have details on that in just a second moment. Plus, a new poll shows most Americans want an end to the ongoing war in Iran as the conflict enters its second month, with many saying they want a pullout even if the administration's goals aren't met. We're going to break this down. Also ahead, former CNN anchor Don Lemon says he's considering a White House run of his own and that he could do a better job at running the country than President Trump going to show you what he had to say. And we'll discuss those stories so much more as the second hour of American Sunrise starts right now.
- [49:33]
C
Good morning, America.
- [49:36]
B
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
- [49:42]
D
Politics.

C
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.
- [49:46]
D
We've got you covered.

This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

B
And I'm Dr. Gina.
- [50:05]
C
Welcome back to the second hour of American Sonaris, everybody. I'm David Brody. At least the last time I checked. I am in D.C. let's bring in Dr. G and Wes Palm and T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning to you. Listen, don't say this show American Sunrise doesn't run the gamut. In just the last 10 minutes, we did cross dressing and Easter.
- [50:25]
B
Dr. G. That's right. That's right. We cover it all here on Real American Church.
- [50:30]
C
That's right. News you can use.
- [50:32]
B
Yes, exactly. Tears.
- [50:35]
D
And we had a pastor say rack on tv.
- [50:37]
B
Yeah. Did that actually really happen?
- [50:40]
D
That had really happened.
- [50:42]
B
You know, we do restroom breaks and coffee breaks and things when we're not on air. And I thought Shuttlesworth just say rack. Okay. All right.
- [50:50]
C
I think so.
- [50:51]
B
Got it.
- [50:51]
C
Well, I think he was referring to the game Racko, but I'm not sure there's a game called Racko.
- [50:57]
D
Yeah, that's not true. Good try. No, no, I'm trying to save him.
- [51:02]
C
Well, he's already saved. But anyhow, go ahead.
- [51:06]
D
See, now that's a transition right there. Trying to save him. Actually, he's already saved.
- [51:10]
E
There you go.
- [51:11]
D
Amen. Amen. Hey, guys, look, we've got a lot of news to get to. Before we do that, though, let's get a quick check of our forecast. Weather Nation meteorologist Brittany Lockley standing by with the very latest and your hometown forecast. Brittany, good morning. Can you hear me? There she is. I see her on the screen. Brittany, good morning.
- [51:28]
J
Good morning to you. We're tracking severe weather throughout the rest of the day today. But we're also seeing some strong storms, Terrence, early this morning. And if you're further up in the north, we're also seeing some icing. But really quickly, Madison, Chicago, Peoria, we have that enhanced risk for today and that's going to be more so headed into the afternoon where we have potential to see all modes of severe weather, including some rotation now throughout the rest of the three days today, tomorrow and headed into your weekend, we have the threat for severe weather. Make sure you download the Weather Nation app today to see how your Easter force forecast is going to look. But before I go, I want to take you out to some of your viewers. Carefree Largo coming out of Ocala, Florida. That's where my sister lives. So this is the forecast for the both of you guys. Thursday, Friday, we're going to see that rainfall. Saturday and Sunday looks clear. Before you know, Florida does what it does. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we're going to see the rain return. Now met for Wisconsin. We got to watch out for a little bit of wintry mix. We're dealing with some icing up there. So just make sure that you're excited. Careful, Terrence. I'm going to send it back to you.
- [52:36]
D
All right. Thank you, Brittany, by the way, Britt's sister in Ocala, good morning to you, Carefree always. Good morning to you. Carefree is one of our viewers that's always with us. Love him. All right, thanks so much. Britt. Let's get you over to David. Okay, There we go. She says you're welcome there at the end. You heard it. All right, let's get you over to David Brody. David, good morning.
- [52:55]
C
Good morning, T. Bates. All right. President Trump says Iran is now, quote, no longer a threat. Threat after more than a month of US Military strikes. But even as he signaled progress, Trump also laid out a new phase of the war, warning that additional strikes could continue for the next two to three weeks as the United States looks to finish the job. Here was the president last night.
- [53:16]
E
I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong.
- [53:37]
C
The Stone Ages. Joining us now with reaction is Georgia Congressman Rich McCormick. Congressman, good morning to you. All right, so finish the job. I understand what the military goals are here, but beyond that, what does finish the job actually mean, specifically as it relates to ground troops? Can you finish the job without putting boots on the ground strategically in certain places? Good morning.
- [54:06]
M
Good morning. And I think that depends on what they do when they come to the table for negotiations. The biggest thing that keeps me awake at night is them having enriched uranium enough for two weapons. We need to have that handed over. That has to be part of the deal because you do not want an autocratic theocracy, one that doesn't matter they don't care about killing 50,000 of their own citizens. A country that's basically warned us that they're going to rain fire down from heavens, that they're going to destroy the great Satan, which they call us. That's not a country you want to have nuclear weapons. So that has to be part of the deal. In my opinion, if we have a tactical advantage to grab that or seize that, or if Israel does or anybody else that's an ally, that's what should be done. But I do not feel like the job is done until we get those nuke that uranium, enriched uranium for the weapons.
- [55:01]
D
Congressman, following last night's speech, I still have a couple of questions. I'd love to know who the President is negotiating with and his team is negotiating with inside Iran. Obviously, the boots on the ground issue I think think is an issue that's of concern to many Americans. Were all of your questions answered or do you have any outstanding questions following the speech?
- [55:21]
M
There was a great military guy, somebody who spent over 20 years in military. Don't ask too many questions. First of all, it's a fluid environment. You want to keep the enemy guessing. You don't want them to know exactly when you're going to stop and what you're going to do. Those are all things that you find out after the fact. President Trump has been very good at keeping secrets in his administration. The military has been phenomenal. Tipping my hat to General Kane for locking people up in rooms before they do big ops. That's why we've been so incredibly successful, not only in Iran and Venezuela, but other places. We're really good at keeping secrets, really good at keeping the enemy on unstable footing. That's a good thing. Having general ideas of what we're trying to accomplish, that's okay. But yeah, we want to keep all options on the table, especially when it comes to Carg island. You have the 82nd Airborne and I believe two Marine Expeditionary Units. That's a lot of firepower. If we had to do something very, very limited and very, very focused.
- [56:18]
B
Congressman. President Trump is now raising the possibility of withdrawing the United States from NATO, citing frustration with allies who refuse to support U.S. efforts in the war against Iran. According to reports, European countries declined to provide military assistance or even allow access to bases, deepening a growing rift within the alliance. But I don't know, you hear Karl Rove and Lindsey Graham on TV and they say this would be tragic.
- [56:45]
M
I agree. I want to remain a part of NATO. We have controlling votes. I'm actually a NATO Parliamentarian myself. I think we have great relationships that can benefit us into the future. This is the most germane time of NATO's existence, with Ukraine being involved with Europe being encroached upon by Russia. I think in many ways, I understand President Trump's frustration, though. I really do. You're talking about NATO has basically benefited from us their entire existence. We have basically funded most of NATO. We protect Europe. If it weren't for us, Europe would be a whole different place, not in a good way.
- [57:23]
E
So.
- [57:24]
M
So I understand its frustration, especially when even Iran, dealing with Iran is going to benefit the rest of the world. It's going to stabilize that region. It's going to open up those straits permanently. It's going to take away their ability to deliver nuclear and conventional weapons. That is huge for the rest of the world. It stabilizes that region and the rest of the world, and also it defunds Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah. And I think that's really important. The rest of the world benefits from us, but doesn't want to play. It's kind of like that, the old child's story of, hey, will you help me grind the grain? Will you help me bake the bread? Will you help me do this? Nobody wants to help until the bread's baked and all of a sudden, hey, I want it now, too. I think that's very unfair, and I understand the president's frustration.
- [58:08]
C
Yeah, they all want to eat the bread. They don't want to make the bread. Absolutely. Let me ask you, Congressman, specifically about the Gulf states. They have really risen up and been, let's be honest, feels like way better allies than our allies in NATO. I'm curious if you can talk about that. I remember being with President Trump on his first trip overseas in his first term. I went with him to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and it struck me he was also there. He went to Rome as well, and Israel at some point. But it struck me about how he really made overtures early on to those Gulf states, and it really seems to be paying dividends today.

I'm not one of those people who goes over the top when I talk about appreciating Trump, but I think in this case, based on his first administration and even now, what he's doing in the long term, this is the stuff of Nobel Peace Prizes. When you talk about the Abraham Accords, when you talk about where Saudi Arabia was and where they are now, I think they'll eventually join. This is going to end up in lasting peace in that region for a generation. I don't think this ever been done during any other president's reign, what he's accomplished over there. I know that nobody thinks of war as being peaceful, but peace through strength is a real thing. I used to teach evolutional warfare. And when you talk about peace in a region from a country that's basically been picking on everybody, we've been attacked 40 times, at least 40 times. We lost over a thousand Americans. But think about what everybody else has been through. Iraq and Iran used to fight and killed hundreds of thousands of people, probably millions of people. This is going to be a lasting peace initiative once we get the right regime. And I know people don't like to talk about regime change, but when you have an autocratic theocracy who does not care about killing people, does not care about dying, that's a very dangerous thing for the entire regions. Saudi Arabia is putting more of their GDP by percentage into military building than any other country in the world, other than maybe Russia, because they're at war. But this is going to really stabilize the region. You're seeing people in that region and countries step up to the plate, think it's going to be good for the long term.

C
Yeah. Congressman Rich McCormick, appreciate you being here. By the way, you mentioned you're a NATO parliamentarian. Fifteen seconds or so. What is that exactly? That's fascinating.
- [60:26]
M
So we have controlling votes of NATO. We go over there, we actually negotiate. We float bills. Matter of fact, one of my bills was to basically take seized money from Russia to use against them in this war. And if you don't have the right laws, you're going to change your laws. That's for all other countries, but basically, it's where we sit down, vote on things that have to do with NATO, how much percentage they're going to spend on their military, things that are very good for the future of Europe.
- [60:52]
C
Very nice.

Coming up. Oh, gosh, what a transition. I'm going to read this on prompter now. Former CNN anchor Don Lemon says he's floating a run for president. I'm sorry, I'm supposed to stop laughing here, saying he'd do a better job than President Trump.
- [61:34]
H
Left right of you, Santa. We all bleed the same bread when that flag.
- [61:49]
D
Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's now time to drain the swamp. And this morning we're flushing out former CNN anchor Don Lemon. Lemon is making headlines this morning after suggesting that he could one day run for president. President. And that he'd do a better job at it than President Trump. In a recent podcast interview, Lemon said that he has thought about the possibility of seeking office, adding that while he doesn't currently have plans to run, he believes it's possible and that he could run this country better. Here is Don Lemon himself. Look, if I wanted to, I know people are going to think I'm crazy. This is going to be the headline, and people are going to laugh about it. I think I could be President of the United States. I could definitely run this country better than. Than. Than Donald Trump.

Paper towel roll cut.
- [62:36]
A
But, yeah, yeah, you would be a market improvement.
- [62:39]
D
As an independent, though, there would be a hard time for me to run for anything because, you know, the way the system is set up, I'd have to choose a side. And so, you know, I probably. I probably would have to become a Democrat. Oh, get your popcorn ready for the responses you're getting ready to get from David and Dr. Gina. Dr. Gina, you get first. You're first up to Batman.
- [63:02]
B
Please, Don, please run. America wants you, Don Lamond. To quote Rush Limbaugh. Yeah, no, Don, we want you to run. You keep that confidence, baby. You get the job done. You run for president. Wow, that would be so much fun and fodder. I can't even think about it. And I know people say you should never take anyone for granted. You know, they could actually win after all. Kamala, Kamala, Kamala. But she never did win. I mean, I'm just letting you guys know that, in case you weren't aware. But, you know, she ran. She became the father of the world, and Don Lemon would do the same. He is laughing stock at this point.
- [63:45]
C
Yeah, look, I don't even like lemon in my water. I don't want Don Lemon in my water. Number one, let me just say a couple of things. So I literally went to chat GPT because why not? And I said, this is the question I just put in. In the break. I put, if Don Lemon were running for president, what would his platform be? Here's what ChatGPT spit out. First of all, let me just say, here's what his campaign slogan would be. ChatGPT will do this for Don Lemon. The slogan would be one nation, equal justice. I thought that was interesting. And then he went. ChatGPT goes on to say he would run on truth and accountability.
- [64:21]
N
What?
- [64:22]
C
Voting rights and democracy, protection, racial justice and civil rights, media literacy, LGBT rights and gun rights. There you go. So ChatGPT is weighed in. I don't know. I have nothing else to say. I have no analysis. This isn't gonna happen. And if it does, then put me
- [64:40]
D
out to pasture and that would be my analysis. It's not gonna happen. It's getting him some short term attention, which I'm sure he is loving. Don Lemon is not gonna run for president. He knows he has no shot at winning and he somewhat alluded to that. Oh, I'm an independent and I would run and I'd have to pick a side. You've already chosen your side and you know you're not gonna win. Even whatever side you get on is not gonna support you in that way. Have several seats, sir, and good luck.
- [65:06]
C
Yeah, I don't wanna see Donald neck. Donald, Donald, Donald. What am I calling him? Don Lemon in a turtleneck. I don't wanna see Don Lemon in a turtleneck. Gina, I don't know about you, but from a fashion perspective, that's a no go for me.
- [65:18]
B
Yeah, I've seen him in lots of turtlenecks.
- [65:20]
C
Yeah, I'm done with that.

Welcome back, everyone. We're getting you ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It's set to ring here in just a few minutes. Here's a quick look at the futures on the markets as you can see it's pretty much red top to bottom. Crude oil is the only green spot, and that's not necessarily good for most of us, particularly with gas prices on the rise. We'll take it to New York for the actual opening bell here in just a few minutes. First, though, let's get you over to David Brody. David, good morning.
- [67:20]
C
Good morning, T. Bates. All right, time to stop thinking about your mattress. This furniture, you spend a third of your life on it. That makes it really, if you think about it, one of the most important pieces of health equipment that you own. Most people don't think about their mattress until pain forces them to. Today, we're talking about why just okay. Sleep may actually be driving your frequent chiropractor visits. Or maybe you're taking too much Tylenol and ibuprofen before bed, hoping to sleep better or wake up with less pain and stiffness. So we've got the answer for more. Joining us now is Mark Werner, CEO and founder of Ghostbed. Mark, great to see you again. I tell you what, you got to remind our viewers you've been on before, but for those who haven't heard this story, this is not just like, oh, we're going to start a business. I mean, this is literally a. It started from a personal health problem. This is personal for you and your family?
- [68:16]
N
Very much so. And good morning, Dave, and thank you for having ghostfed. Yeah, I started this business 25 years ago with my wife and then my kids, and I've had three neck surgeries, and I couldn't find a mattress or pillow that worked for me. So given that I grew up in the Werner ladder family and my dad invented the aluminum ladder and fiberglass and the fiberglass ladder, I was reared in that kind of high engineering quality manufacturing environment. So I was able to play with the polymers and come out with the memory foam solution. So we came out with the Ghostbed series of mattresses to take care of my problem and many other people's problems. So it was a personal Quest from day one, and it's been going on for 25 years. So we're proud of that.
- [69:00]
C
Yeah, that's a huge deal. The longevity. So, all right, I'm getting up there a little bit in age. I'm 61 years old, and so I get up a little slower in the morning. But for someone that's waking up with, like, aches and pains every morning, how much of that could actually be the mattress and not necessarily the age or any of that other stuff?
- [69:21]
N
Well, it's definitely the mattress, but it's also both. As you get older, which I'm older, there's new pains you encounter all the time and that's going to be a problem. But what you do find is that the mattress is not the right sleep solution platform for the person. It can be 65, it can be 25. So you need something that's got cooling technology, something that's got the right comfort and support for you. For example, my 95 year old, God bless him, my father, who's doing great, he gets up every 45 minutes to pee, which is normal for an older man. So we invented, I invented the massaging mattress, which is like a massaging chair, but it's horizontal for a mattress. And I put him in that thing because he goes and pees. He comes back, turns the massage on, six minutes later, he's passed out. Game changer for him, because otherwise he was up all night, he couldn't fall back asleep. But that massaging feature just relaxes his body, lets him go back to sleep until the next hour or so. He has to go pee again and rinse and repeat. So we've got different technology products for different people and that's very effective.
- [70:31]
C
Okay, so now I'm really, I was already interested. Now I'm really interested because, dare I say, I mean, you've already used the word pee on the air, so I might as well just talk about this. I've got a few, dare I say, prostate issues. So the fact that you said this is kind of opening this world up to me as to another advantage of Ghostbed. Hey, by the way, what are some changes that people are going to notice when they switch to ghostbed? You mentioned the cooling technology. I'm trying to understand how that works specifically, and so you can explain it to folks.
- [71:02]
N
We have cooling technology both on the outer cover of the fabric and then on the top foam layers with our phase change material. And what that does is it pulls away the heat so it gets your body down to a more neutral type of a temperature. You don't need to be in like a sub zero freezer to cool down. You just need to take it down 1 or 2 degrees and you'll be absolutely fine. So that's the first thing. The second thing is proper, the Pro Core Elite technology, different densities of foam kind of in your secondary layer. So you need more support for your hips that carry more weight and less for your shoulders and your legs. So that gives you the proper type of support, comfort and support. So you'll have less Tingling, less uncomfortableness during the course of the night. These are all solutions to make a better product to allow you to sleep in a full night's sleep. Quality REM sleep.
- [71:54]
C
That's fantastic. Hey, by the way, we just got a few seconds left. Give us the details. Where can people go to get this wonderful mattress?
- [72:03]
N
They can go to ghostbed.com rav get an extra 10% off. We always have a good sale going on and we also have zero interest financing. So you can really buy this high quality, affordable mattress for as little as a dollar a day for qualified people. And the majority of people will qualify. I would certainly lean into that opportunity because you spend a 30 of your life sleeping, you spend more on a coffee in a day. So why not have a premium mattress that's affordable and finance it and spend a dollar a day on it? It just makes a lot of sense.
- [72:36]
C
Who are you going to call? Not Ghostbusters. Ghostbed. Thank you so much.
- [72:40]
N
Thank you. Thank you, David.

The applause is underway at the New York Stock Exchange, which means the opening bell is going to ring here in just moments. And then we'll get an idea of how the markets are looking on this Thursday of trading as promised. You hear the opening bell. The first trades are being submitted right now. And here, here's a quick look at how the markets are looking. The dow S&P 500 and the NASDAQ all in the red at the moment. Hopefully that will change here rather quickly. And those of you investing will be able to buy low and sell high. And it will ultimately be a good day. We'll, of course, continue to monitor it all for you throughout the day. Still to come here on American Sunrise, though, a new poll shows that most Americans have a conflict when it comes to operations in Iran, even if that means the Trump administration's goals aren't necessarily met. We'll talk about what's driving the shift and what it means for President Trump. You'll have to stick around for that conversation, though.

Rav Family Real America's music has a new track to push to the top of the charts. God Bless America by hi Rez. Let's show the left we're proud to be Americans. Scan the QR code or search God Bless America on itunes today. Well, welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. Gina. Thanks for joining us this morning. We invite you to get in our conversation on YouTube. Getter and Rumble. It is time now to take the political pulse of America the beat. Today, a new national poll shedding light on how Americans are feeling about the war with Iran. And it points to growing war fatigue here at home. According to this new Reuters Ipso's survey, about 2/3 of Americans say they want the war to end quickly, even if that means achieving means not achieving all of the administration's original goals. Just 27% say the US should stay in this fight until the objectives are met, while a majority also disapprove of the military strikes. Overall, this poll also highlights real economic concerns. With gas prices climbing above $4 a gallon, many Americans worried the conflict will hit their personal finances. If it hasn't already. Let's discuss more with David Brody and Terence Bates. Terrence, do you feel the war? Do you feel the economy of the war?
- [76:11]
D
Well, I think most of us feel it, you know, the $4 gas prices, yes, it's hitting us rather hard and it raises questions. But again, when you kind of step back and get out of your own feelings, get out of your own self interest and think about the bigger picture and what we're looking to achieve here. I think at this point, many Americans, despite what that poll may say, are okay with it. Now the longer this drags on, and I think we've been saying this, David, from the very beginning, the longer this war drags on, the more fatigue there's going to be. The longer people are paying $4 gas prices, the more they're going to start to question this. But at this point, I think many Americans still have the bigger picture in mind, still have general public safety in mind and realize that a nuclear Iran just is a non starter and that we need to go ahead and finish the job, particularly now that we've started it. David.
- [77:03]
C
Well, you say that, and I agree with you on that, but the polling is not suggesting that. I mean, we don't really know, and
- [77:10]
D
I don't agree with the polling. I'm sorry, David. I'm not so sure that polling is accurate. I would love to know who they polled. But go ahead, you're gonna make your point.
- [77:18]
C
No, I agree with you on that, too. Like, who are they pulling exactly? I mean, to me, look, I think this is human nature. I think Americans like immediacy. We want our fast food, we want our stuff quick. We want our results quick. We don't wanna put in the hard work. It's the same thing here. In other words, there's an immediacy factor. And I'm talking about if there were boots, if there was literally, if Iran invaded America, and literally we saw Iranian troops in New Jersey, in D.C. we would be like, my gosh, 100%, everybody rallying around the flag. Well, maybe not the liberals, but the point is that most of us would, okay, but it's a world away. It's over there. But hold on for a second. These are Americans. These are our troops. And Iran has killed Americans, over a thousand in the last 47 years. So when we see the fact that it's a world away, we just go, you know what? That's not my life. It's not my life. You know what? My children. Trump, yesterday, in the address to the nation, said, this is about your children and grandchildren. And people are like, yeah, yada, yada, yada. You know, we always talk about the national debt. It's the same thing. It's about our kids and our grandkids, yada, yada, yada. And we keep running up the debt. People want immediacy. And if they don't say, and this is why people are not all in on the war, because it's a world away. But if it was closer, Gina, it would be much different. That's all I'm saying.
- [78:44]
B
And I think people are extraordinarily cognizant at the moment of our place in the history of creation, and that we are actually in the war, the actual war between good and evil. And America is really at the tip of the sea on all of that. And I think we feel like we are fighting so many of us in our own lives, a personal battle between good and evil. Every single day. The culture has turned into just such slime that our tolerance level. I find myself just grappling with things that I will tolerate or even indulge now in people that, you know, I was raised better than that. I know better than that. My Bible tells me better than that. And still, in the name of tolerance, we're expected to do things or we're expected to not say things that we know we should say. And so this battle between good and evil, I feel like, has really sort of overtaken the hearts of many Americans. And we see it happening so flagrantly here in America, and it makes it hard to turn our attention anyplace else.
- [79:53]
C
Well, that is a good point. This is a segment deep thoughts with Dr. G today. That is a graphic that we need to. That's good stuff. All right. Let's turn now to some more deep thoughts. The Supreme Court, where the justices heard oral arguments yesterday regarding whether President Trump's executive order aimed at ending automatic birthright citizenship is constitutional or not. Several justices expressed skepticism about the policy, focusing heavily on the original meaning of the 14th Amendment and whether the phrase, quote, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, allows for limits on citizenship. Speaking of deep thoughts, I'm going to do the antithesis of that because we're going to give you Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, and her take in particular is turning heads. Here is what she had to say.
- [80:42]
J
I was thinking about this, and I think there are various sources that say this that you can have you obviously have permanent allegiance based on being born in whatever country you're from. That's what everybody recognizes. But you also have local allegiance when you are on the soil of this other, other sovereign. And I was thinking, you know, I'm, I'm, I US Citizen and visiting Japan. And what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the, the Japanese, these authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance meaning can they control you as a matter of law? I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to, you know, under Japanese law, go and prosecute the person who has stolen it. So there's this relationship based on even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that sense.
- [81:52]
C
I feel dumber. What is a woman, by the way? Joining us now with reaction is constitutional attorney Chrisann Hall. Chrisanne, good morning. Make me smarter, please, all of us. Help us.
- [82:04]
A
Well, I try to shove the brain cells back into my head. I mean, that is the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard. And it's even more insulting that it comes from someone who's, who is classified as a Supreme Court justice. The crazy thing is, is that Japan would not recognize you as a citizen just because it's prosecuting you. So the entire argument falls apart. And the fact that she says, well, I think there are some sources that would support me on this. There are no sources that would support her on this. The realization is that people like Jackson and people like the aclu, what they want to do is they want to dilute citizenship so much that it no longer exists. And if you can conflate I'm a temporary visitor with I am a citizen, then what is the distinction of being a citizen to begin with? And that's really what we need to realize the goal is. The one thing that I am very disappointed with the solicitor is is this myopic focus on what did the drafters of the 14th amendment mean. Now, the drafters of the 14th amendment were very clear that this was not for transient visitors like Jackson tries to put out to us. But the reality is the framers of the 14th Amendment were not operating in a vacuum and the solicitor has completely ignored that. There is 100 years of history that describes, defines and debates what is a citizen, what is the purpose of the citizen. And this becomes a clear cut decision when you actually bring in the framers of our constitutional republic and all the debates that they had. When you include how citizenship was defined in the Articles of Confederation, you include the argument of why naturalization was put into the hands of the federal government and no longer in the hands of the states. And you also consider that George Washington himself gave his farewell address arguing and warning us about the dangers of foreign influence. This is what citizenship is about. It is not about coming on vacation, dropping a baby and getting the benefits of citizenship, which by the way, are all gone if there is no definition of citizenship. It's about shielding America and America's future from foreign influence. Because if you call someone a citizen and they are a citizen for seven years, they can now hold public office at the federal level and they bring in all their foreign bias, all their foreign influence. And now you have Ilhan Omar.
- [85:11]
D
That's, you know, as I was watching all of this play out and watching the arguments, one of the phrases that was repeated is this is a new world. And it is something that struck me because it is a new world and we're dealing with new challenges that probably weren't considered when the framers were writing the 14th Amendment.
- [85:30]
A
Well, actually, I don't mean to disagree, but we're talking about principles Here. This may be a new world from a technological perspective, but we are not dealing with any different principles that we had when America was formed or when the 14th amendment was written, because foreign influence is still a danger to American principles. Foreign influence meaning not. You know, I'm not gonna allow. I'm gonna be xenophobic and not allow other cultures. I'm talking about foreign government influence coming in and taking control of America with foreign ideology other than American ideology. Our founders knew that that was a danger to our constitutional republic, and they knew that from history. These things, like Solomon said, there is nothing new under the sun because human nature does not change. The dangers of 1798, the dangers of 1888, are the same as the dangers today when we're talking about foreign takeover of culture and government.
- [86:44]
C
Chrisann, we've got to have you back for part two of this conversation because there's a lot more to unpack. I mean, John Roberts said this is a new world, but it is not. It is the same Constitution yesterday, which was very interesting. But then there was talk about the fact that Roberts might actually side with the liberals on this. I don't know. I want to unpack it all, but we'll have you back. You're shaking your head no. You don't think so? You don't think so?
- [87:11]
B
Real quick.
- [87:13]
A
I can never guess, Roberts. I think what you really have to do is focus on what the question is. The question is, does the President of the United States have the authority through executive order to define these terms? And I think when the Supreme Court overturned Chevron, I think that that's going to weigh heavily on their decision.
- [87:37]
C
All right, well, appreciate it. I'm going to anchor jail. Thank you, Chris. Anhole. Appreciate it. I'll take my makeup.
- [87:44]
D
Thanks, Chris.
- [87:44]
C
Thank you. Okay. Hey, think about this for a second, folks. In 2026, how about 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at spot price. So at Today's prices, those 33 ounces actually would be worth about $165,000. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. Very, very precious metals, as President Trump would say. And that's why you need to consider buying gold from my friends at Birch Gold Group. For thousands of years, gold has been a store of wealth. Today, it's crucial, and it's a crucial part of any balanced strategy. Even better, Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or a 401k into a tax sheltered retirement account in gold. So here's what you do you text America to the number 989-898 to receive your free info kit on gold? No obligation to just useful information. They've got an A rating with the Better Business Bureau. Tens of thousands of happy customers. Let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold that is called peace of mind. You text America to 989-898 again. Let's say it again. Text America to the number 989-898 today. Birch Gold, by the way, should probably sponsor the Oval Office with all the gold in that White House. All right, more American Sunrise after the break.

Joins me now with more Based Records. I apologize. Matthew, good morning.

O
Hey, Terrence. How are you doing?
- [91:31]
D
Doing well. So let's talk about how this partnership really helps all sides and more importantly, adds to the conversation out there in the public and gives viewers and listeners something new to look forward to.
- [91:46]
O
So you might remember very recently the super bowl and Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl. And the short answer is that we have to take the culture back. It's up to Bass Records, and God willing, with our partners at Real America's Voice and LJ Fino at Real America's Music, we're going to create great music that people love, that people enjoy, and that can move the conversation. That's the mission of Based Records.

D
Is it fair to call this a music revolution?
- [92:20]
O
That's what we're trying to instigate. We are trying to instigate a little music. Boston Tea Party. We're trying to instigate a little music revolution. I think that's very fair to say.
- [92:32]
D
And what's driven this? Obviously, there is a yearning, if you will, for something different, something that's a bit more positive. Give us some metrics. Look at me talking music industry like I'm a music mobile. Give us some metrics that really kind of inspired this and let you know there's a market for this.
- [92:50]
O
Well, it's an incredible story, really. So we had a number one song called Fighter with a great artist named John Kahn that was sponsored by and endorsed by President Trump during the 2024 campaign. We've also worked with Afroman, whose recent court case has been a big victory for patriotic Americans and for libertarians all over the world. And, of course, we have the wonderful, the extremely talented Rachel Holt. And Rachel Holt is a phenomenal country musician. She's young, she's intense, she's patriotic. And what we want to present is something aspirational for Americans. We want to show Americans that there's something you can listen to that doesn't actively alienate you, doesn't actively seek to disenfranchise you. And we've had Billboard number ones to that effect. And we think that we can continue having that success with Real America's music.
- [93:52]
D
Well, we definitely want to continue that success right alongside you, and we want to support you in whatever way we possibly can. Matthew, good to see you, my friend. Friend.
- [94:01]
O
Thank you very much. And stay on the lookout for Rachel Holt's next release, which we're releasing with Real America's Voice.
- [94:08]
D
All right, looking forward to it. Much more American Sunrise coming your way after this.
- [94:35]
B
Okay, this has to be psychosomatic, but do you know how many times per show I feel like just as we're coming in, I'm gonna sneeze. That has to be. That has to be psychosomatic, right?
- [94:46]
C
That's five syllable words. I don't do those.
- [94:48]
L
I don't know.

Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for being with us this morning. Time now for the one to watch. And here's what I'm keeping my eye on today. In a recent interview, former Congressman Matt Gaetz described what he says he was told during top secret UFO briefings. This was at the Capitol. This included claims of a hidden government program involving. Listen, you guys, I'm not making this up. Non human life and alleged hybrid experiments. The comments are adding fuel to a growing national conversation around unidentified aerial phenomena, such as lawmakers continue to demand more transparency from the federal government. Take a look.
- [95:32]
D
I think the most important information will
- [95:34]
C
be the biologics that are not human that have been discovered.
- [95:38]
D
And like, even some of the briefings that aren't classified just need to be
- [95:43]
C
out in the public.
- [95:43]
D
I mean, I had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States army, that was briefing me on the locations
- [95:51]
C
of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some
- [95:58]
D
hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication.
- [96:05]
B
And so to. To punctuate this just in case you think, okay, that's Matt Gaetz. He's, you know, he's Matt Gaetz. Whatever. I mean, whatever you have, whatever you think or wanted to say about him. There were some senators interviewed about this, you guys, and they were like, well, he's not wrong. This is a real thing that is happening in our government. We have to discuss this a lot more. We did not have enough time. I have a complaint, Mr. Producer. Maybe we can discuss this again, but we have to say goodbye for now because War Room is up next.
- [96:40]
C
I would like to say a few things, but not really goodbye.
- [96:44]
B
I know I.
