Coming up on American Sunrise. Santa made his list. He checked it twice and he delivered all the gifts. This Christmas holiday is behind us, but the spirit of the Christmas season lives on. We'll of course share how we are still celebrating and leaning into the reason for the season, which of course is Jesus Christ. And later, colleges in Texas coming under a microscope as school officials attempt to rid the higher education institutions of WOKE ideology. We'll have the very latest on that. Plus, President Trump on the nice list this year. RAV's chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn standing by at the White House to join us with his presidential list. All of that and so much more coming your way right now on American Sunrise. Good morning, America.
- [03:13]
Dr. Gina
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
- [03:19]
David Brody
Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.
- [03:31]
Dr. Gina
The American dream is still alive.
- [03:34]
David Brody
I'm David Brody. I'm terrence.
- [03:36]
Dr. Gina
And I'm Dr. Gina. Good morning, everybody. I'm Dr. G. We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. Let's bring in David Brody. He's in Washington, D.C. and Terrence Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning. How was your Christmas, boys? Men, gentlemen, Wonderful.
- [03:56]
David Brody
Wonderful. Good morning. By the way, Dr. Gina Davis. Good morning. Yeah. Boys to men. So look, it was wonderful. I have to say, Dr. Gina, I'm a little conflicted because, you know, I'm cheap.
- [04:09]
Dr. Gina
Did anybody pay your bills, Terrence? That's what inquiring minds want to know.
- [04:14]
David Brody
No, this is not me pushing for you to pay my bills. So my oldest daughter asked for a cross for Christmas, a necklace cross. And I was like, oh, I love that. I love your spirituality. I love that you're building your own relationship with God. But then she specified, but it's got to be gold. And there was the cheap part of me was like, do you know how much gold costs these days?
- [04:38]
Dr. Gina
Tea Tee Tee. It's a life. It's an heirloom gift. Yes, I know.
- [04:43]
David Brody
We went ahead and got it for her, but I was like, that's good.
- [04:46]
Dr. Gina
I have to tell you. So my daughters also wanted crosses this year, so I purchased two crosses and I wore them when I was baptized in the Jordan river in Israel.
- [04:58]
David Brody
Oh, wow.
- [04:58]
Dr. Gina
And so, and then I gave them to my daughters for Christmas. So and I wish all my daughters.
- [05:05]
David Brody
Wanted to do on me. Dr. Gina, not only am I cheap, but I didn't even take mine to get christened in the Jordan. You just outdid me.
- [05:11]
Dr. Gina
But you can always do it next time, right? Next time you go to Israel, you can take the cross with you. It was just a fun thought that I. But I had actually one of my daughters had specifically asked me to do that for Christmas for her. So I thought, well, I'll just do it for both of them then. David, did you have any fun gifts that you Wanted. Did anybody pay your bills?
- [05:28]
David Brody
You know what? This is where I take a very heavy, heavy sigh and go, no, it wasn't about crosses or gold or any of that. It was Amazon. No, it was Amazon. I mean, that's just so womp, womp. That is like the most anti Christmas day. Sorry. It's. It's Amazon. I can't even go to the store the day after Christmas because I didn't buy anything at the store. You know, it's like I have to go to the ups. I got to go to UPS and return stuff. That's. That's where I'm at. So if you don't want. Merry Christmas. Everybody also takes. Go to Kohl's. They also take all those packages from Amazon. Oh, yeah. But that becomes a whole big to do.
- [06:10]
Dr. Gina
Ebenezer, here to my right.
- [06:16]
David Brody
Sorry. Sorry to be Debbie Downer or David Downer.
- [06:21]
Dr. Gina
No, but I mean, I'm sure you had, like, beautiful memories and, like, family time and together time, because it really isn't about the gifts. Especially the older you get, like, you realize it really isn't about the gifts.
- [06:32]
David Brody
Yeah, as long as I don't get soap on a rope, I'm good. Or Brute by Faberge, I'm fine. That still smells really good, even 20 years later. Brute by Faberge. I still like that. Do they still sell it, Dr. Gina? Yes, they still saw it. I don't know. I'm stuck 30 years ago. I don't know. Brunt is timeless, Dr. Gina. Just like the Bible. Can you give us our Bible verse? All right.
- [06:54]
Dr. Gina
Today's Bible verse goes like this. It's from First John, chapter four, verses 15 through 18. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the son of God, God abides in him and he in God. We have known and believed that the love that God has for us, God is love. And he who abides in love abides in God and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this, that we may have a boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out all fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. Remember that word, fear. I don't know the primary language of that, the original root language of that, but there is. There are different words that translate as fear in our Bible, and they are not all the same in the original text. I think it's always important to point that out because, you know, fear means different things because there were many different Words for fear. Let's welcome to American Sunrise, somebody we don't fear at all. Rav's very own chief White House correspondent, Brian Glenn. He is fearless, though. Brian, did Santa make a stop at the White House?
- [08:11]
David Brody
Well, he did. Good morning everybody. Happy I should say Merry post Christmas to everyone. Hope everyone had a, a wonderful day at home. And David, I'm with you. I, I heard the word of the day should be soap on a rope. I don't know when the last time I even heard the words so or brute by fabric.
- [08:29]
Dr. Gina
J like when did you hear that, Brian?
- [08:33]
David Brody
I was, it's been a while, but I'm going to search that on, on, on Amazon after this segment. So I can that gift that did not come on Christmas, but Santa did stop here at the White House. And I think he delivered a present for the American people. If you look back of what he's done in his administration, kind of, kind of the presence that President Trump was able to give the American people, I would say, well, number one, it was a closed border. We secured the border, the most secure border we've ever had in US History. Some would argue number two would be the big beautiful bill that extended the tax cuts. So when we go do our taxes next year and we, we realize that, oh wow, we get a lot of those breaks for the working class family. They're in there. And so I think those two things packaged up makes for a very good gift for the American people from the, the, the Trump administration. And also this Santa rally that the stock market has been going on here lately. Santa rally is described as the first five days going into Christmas and we'll see the first two days after the new year, which we'll see what that, what that's like. But so far it's been a center rally on the stock market.
- [09:43]
Dr. Gina
Wait, can I interrupt, David, because we're so unconventional the day after Christmas because we're all tired and overfed. Brian, if we can go back to those pictures of the White House, I think it's fascinating to point out what some of the things that people can't see that I know some of you saw at the Christmas party, but especially the one with the side by side of Washington and Trump that's in the game room, those are made of Legos. The bows on the wreaths are made of the wreaths. Everything in that, in that photograph, not that one. It's coming up here. It's on a rotation. It's coming, it's coming. It's made of Legos. What a Creative. Amazing. There was just so much. That's it. Those wreaths, those pictures, those are all Legos.
- [10:25]
David Brody
Even the reefs behind me, I don't remember them. As a matter of fact, President Trump mentioned that the other day. That the reefs hung on the outside of the windows here at the White House is the first time that's been done. He has not seen that a while. But if you compare what the Christmas looks like this year. Yes. And what it looked like last year under Joe Biden, it was described as a carnival. Dr. Gina Remember the carnival? Like we had like a carousel with clowns. And it was completely the opposite of what a traditional White House Christmas should look like. So all credit goes to the first lady, Melania Trump, whose office is primarily responsible for decorating the White House. But what a beautiful setting. And of course, you know, I think this is going to stay up for the remainder of the year and then we'll transition into 2020. And then from then on, I think it's all about the midterms we get out of the holidays. It's all about making sure that we can win these congressional and Senate races coming up on 26. Yeah, for sure. By the way, that clown Christmas is appropriate for Biden's administration because they were like a clown car. So it kind of tracks. All right, so let's talk about the midterms, Brian. The economy, obviously going to be a big topic for candidates on the 2026 campaign trail. And kind of to your first point, when you talked about the big beautiful bill, something that' Santa brought this year, if you will, that's got to come to fruition in quarter one, quarter two. In other words, by the end of quarter two, by June of 2026, this stuff better turn around because you can't keep, you can't sell a good economy if they don't get the results from the bbb. Your thoughts, sir? No, you're right. You're right, David. Some of the tariff things that we brought manufacturing back to the states has promised to create jobs. That's something that's going to happen on the longer side of the ball of the, of the playlist here. But you know, we came off a very busy, probably one of the busiest Black Fridays that we had before Christmas. And we don't have the, the retail sales as of yet for the Christmas time. And of course, today many Americans might be taking back that soap on a rope that they got for Christmas. But if you look in the short term of, of the economic policies that it's the job creation it's the optimism in the stock markets, the optimism in small business that is vital now going into 2026. So if you look at some of these key states where he spent the last couple weeks ago, Pennsylvania, very, very key congressional districts there, talking about manufacturing, talking about jobs in those particular counties, that's crucial. Coming up to 26. And so when you look at what does America look like? Gasoline, many parts of the country, busy travel day today. A lot of people still going after Christmas, people still traveling. Gasoline, certain places around the country is under $2 that will continue to drop. It is very important that we focus on what, how does the average American, how much they are they saving due to Trump being in office? That's important. It's less, less important on the world stage, all the peace treaties that we all can appreciate that President Trump has done. But it's time to bring it back to Main Street America and show the American people that your policies are what's best for them. And it will continue to get better under the Trump administration. Brian, to your point then, are you expecting President Trump to do another sort of Barnstorming tour in 2026, going across the country, talking about affordability, really talking up what you just mentioned there? I do, Terrence. And that's one of the things here at Real America's Voice that we're going to start rolling out kind of a bigger game plan for 2026. Not only will I be here at the White House as the chief White House correspondent for Real America's Voice, but as President Trump takes kind of that roadshow, takes his tour on the road, I should say, getting ready for 2026, I'll be on the road with him, focusing on the economy, focusing on improving American lives. So I do think first quarter of next year, let's just say March, April, May, June, going into summer, it's going to be hot and heavy. I've been told by sources here at the White House that you could see President Trump on the road once a week on this economic tour going into the midterms. Wow.
- [14:43]
Dr. Gina
It's gonna be an interesting. You know, we are rolling right into it, aren't we, Brian? Into the new year. And I feel like we'll still be never short of a busy news day. That's how it feels, Brian. And we'll be consulting with you as we go into it. Thanks so much, Bea. All right, Coming up, we're gonna check out the hottest headlines from the Rap newsroom with T. Bates, you know the guy, and later, colleges in Texas. Even though he doesn't like good music. We still love te in space so there's that colleges in Texas going woke which schools we are keeping a close eye on as we get ready to begin 2026. We're gonna be right back you guys with more American Sunrise. Stay where you are.

This news break is brought to you by AMAC association of Mature American Citizens, Colorado Springs, Colorado. I know it well. My wife and I lived there for the first 10 years of our marriage. The foothills of the Rockies. Absolutely beautiful. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. All right, coming up, Schumer, Grassley, Maxine Waters, the rest of the dinosaurs who call the swamp their home and have been for decades. Well, the question is, is it time for them to wrap it up and head on home? Politically, that is? I didn't mean anything else by that. Sorry. That conversation is ahead. First, though, T. Bates is standing by with the latest headlines from the Real America's Voice newsroom. Clearly amusing myself. It's sponsored by 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 write the course of America. Well, here's a question for you on this day after Christmas, do you feel a bit beaten up after last night's overindulgent Christmas festivities? Well, if so, you're not alone. Millions of Americans are shaking off the annual Christmas food hangover. It's a once a year tradition that still brings families together, though experts say the average person eats twice their normal calories on Christmas day, which is a reminder that real American holidays still matter. And doctors say extra salt carbs and a few holiday drinks can leave you feeling bloated or tired the next morning. But for most health healthy people, it's nothing more than a temporary slowdown. Still, they warn older adults and those with heart issues to hydrate and ease back into the routine at the end of the day. The Christmas feast isn't a problem. It's part of what makes America great. And for many, the Friday after Christmas is also a holiday of another kind. Americans will be hitting the stores today for the annual Day After Christmas Christmas sales, proving once again that shoppers know how to find value and take control of their wallet. Retailers are slashing prices on holiday decor, winter clothes, electronics, toys, sharp budget saving. Americans are ready to cash in. Online shopping remains really hot, with many people taking advantage of convenient pickup options or even buy now, pay later plans for America. This is a traditional win win smart shoppers, savings galore and mainstream retailers seeing real results, all without waiting for government interference or corporate policies to tell them what to do. And finally, from one holiday to the next, Americans across the country gearing up for the countdown to New Year's 2026. Many will celebrate with family, friends and communities across the country. Major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Orlando putting out all the stops with fireworks displays, concerts and iconic ball drops showcasing America's traditions and spirit. For many, it's a time to reflect on the past year and also recognize achievements as well as look ahead with hope, patriotism and resolve. Safety officials are reminding celebrants, though, to enjoy responsibly. Also plan transportation and watch out for those crowds that could get out of control. But no matter where you are, where you're going, the message is clear. Americans know how to celebrate their way and honor our American traditions while also welcoming in the New Year with pride. We're going to take a quick break, but coming up, we're going to head over to Maine for a look at traditions, leadership and the way forward for a country at its crossroads. First, though, a quick look at this day in history. History. What kind of a people do they think we are? Is it possible they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget? It was on this day in 1941 that Winston Churchill became the first British Prime Minister to address a joint meeting of the United States Congress. Shortly after the Japanese bombed Pearl harbor, dragging the United States into World War II, Churchill's warning that the Axis would stop at nothing to win the war. The prime minister was of course, right. More American sunrise coming your way in just a moment.

Thousands of businesses have made the switch, so why not you try Odoo for free@odoo.com that's o d o o.com the day after Christmas Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Santa making the rounds all across America. Not just America, the world. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. You know, Americans across the country are embracing beloved Christmas traditions this season. You got decking homes with festive lights. What about gathering for family feasts? Of course, the gift exchanges. Many families make it a priority to visit Santa Claus, hang stockings, drive through neighborhoods to see those bright light displays and nativity scenes. Classic holiday cuisine. You've got turkey, ham, favorite treats like eggnog. Some of it's spiked. Okay, and cookies. They all remain a central part of celebrations while caroling and community events bring neighbors together in song and cheer. I know we had neighbors at Our house do caroling right to our front door. It's always kind of cool. These traditions showcase the deep cultural ritness and. And richness. Excuse me. And joy of Christmas in America as families create memories together during the holiday season. And let's welcome into American Sunrise one of our favorite guests. That will be former Assistant Secretary of State, a leading Maine gubernatorial candidate, Bobby Charles. Bobby, happy day after Christmas. What about Christmas traditions up in Maine? What do you all do up there? I know it's cold, so I guess we're not water skiing, but what else are they now we switched the skis from water to snow. Yes, fair enough. But you know, this is a place where tradition lives large. I mean, people tend. A lot of people go out and cut their own trees at Christmas around here. You have a lot of candlelight services and you have people, a lot of them. At midnight you have traditions. Like I saw a boat there in the picture a second ago. Portland has this boat parade that they do at Christmas. Kennebunkport in the southern part of the state, beaches like that one right there. They go out and they do something called Christmas Prelude, which is a lot of celebration. But you know, we're a place where that home cooked food stuff is really what people love. Celebrated for decades and continue to celebrate with. And I guess the other tradition I particularly like here in Maine is we have people who make their own wreaths. A lot of people make their own wreaths. And we have this group called Wreaths Across America and they. I just did a little convoy with them down to Arlington and. And they are a group that are just unbelievable. They make. Make 3 million reads and they put 400,000 at every single grave down at Arlington. But they also put them at grave sites of veterans all over the United States and here in particular in Maine. So, you know, Christmas is a time of family reaffirmation, of belief. People are joyous as we are all over the country. But I think it's. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I love the fact that no one questions me anymore when I say Merry Christmas. Not that I cared one way or the other, but I just think Merry Christmas to everybody. And as it. As we look back on it and ahead toward the new year, just be so glad that we are a country of belief and that we have so much here to be grateful for. Yep, Bobby, I love that there is a lot to be grateful for. But the reality is 2026 is coming up and there's still a lot of work to be done. How do you assess President Trump's first year back in office? And what would you like to see coming out of the White House in 2026? You know, it's stunning. Just that first part of your question, Terrence, has it only been a year? I mean, it's incredible. I mean, my God, you know, we've got the end of Iran's nuclear program. We've got a border that's finally secure. We've got foreign leaders in NATO and around the world that respect us. We've got China backing away from some of their aggression. We've got potential peace. And closer to it in Russia and Ukraine, we've got potential Middle east peace partners. We've got a new sense. I think that America, which has done so back to the days of Theodore Roosevelt, if not to our founders, is really the lodestar, the beacon. And I think if there's anything that, you know, we're all grateful for the internal things, and we're looking for the other shoe to drop on things like tariffs and get the prices down and more money back and jobs back. But I will say that. And for inflation down, of course. But I think on the foreign front, you look around and you say, wow, that's real leadership in action. And I think everybody in the world looks at Trump and looks at us here and says, whether you like him individually or not, this guy is a leader. And he's reminding us that America has always been the leader in the world.

Dr. Gina
You know, I had this great idea for Christmas. I said, how about on Christmas Eve, kids? We do instead, you know, we do something that's really special. We do a book exchange. Like, I can give you a book that's either like one of my favorite books or one of the books I read to you when you were babies. And you can give me a book that maybe you think that I should read, or one of your favorite that we shared when you were a baby. I did a series of books this year, children's books, and I just thought that was really. It would be a nice. My kids, of course, made a complete and utter mockery of that. I was just trying to impose a little simplicity, retro simplicity, Bobby, into our Christmas, because Jesus is the reason for the Christmas season. So what I want to know is, how are you reflecting on your faith this holiday? Are there special Christmas traditions, or is there one in particular that you share with your family that you can give our audience?
- [31:33]
David Brody
You know, that's such a great question. I think that, of course, Jesus is the reason for the Season. And part of that, you know, we get wrapped up in the returning of gifts and the this and the that. But really it's the. It's the re. It's putting wind under your wings again that I think it's all about. And of course we think of that in the new year, but really it is Christmas. It's the birth of Christ. And of course, the birth of Christ is also tied to his gift to us, which is, you know, ultimately coming remembered at Easter, you know. And so I guess, I think. I guess I think that what we do on occasion is just slow down. That's really the bottom line. We slow down and we try. We didn't do a book exchange, but I like that idea. But, you know, the idea is just to remember the meaning behind the day. And I think modern society, with all the social media and things get pushed at us, we're encouraged to forget the meaning of the day. But the meaning of the day is the everything. It is the, you know, it is the alpha and the omega, to borrow from the Bible, it is. It is the everything of Christmas. And I think what we should just remember is that promise was made and that sacrifice was made for us, and it should put wind lift under everybody's wings. And I hope it does in 2026. I think that's such a great point.
- [32:47]
Dr. Gina
I don't recommend the book exchange idea if your kids have a sense of humor, because I had this vision of us, like, talking about them and having this beautiful evening with the non Terrence Christmas music playing, and then my kids, you know, gave us joke. My kids have an addiction to seeing my face look horrified and shocked and appalled. And so every book was pretty much that. So if your kids have a sense of humor, just stay away from the book idea. That's my advice.
- [33:13]
David Brody
Oh, that's great. By the way, Bobby, you mentioned rest, and I think that's really important. I was gonna say that really something along the same lines that this season and really should just be out throughout the year, you know, to take time to rest and reflect, especially as it relates to our faith. And I don't do that enough. And I can probably guarantee you that President Trump doesn't rest much, as we know. So I am curious, as we move on to 2026, what do you expect in terms of the Energizer Bunny president that keeps a licking but keeps on ticking, if you will? Look, I think Donald Trump is an inspiration in all kinds of ways. One is to be at his age and so full of energy that the guy literally sounds like he doesn't sleep much as I'm running for governor and I'm up by double digits on the field. But I have to tell you, you do need a lot of energy. I mean, I sleep four or five hours a night, and I'm glad for those four or five hours. But we, in 2026, it's going to be a rock and roll season. I mean, I'm going to be working every day all over the state. And I suspect strongly President Trump is going to be working all over America. I heard one of your earlier stories say he might be out and across America once a week. And I have to tell you, I love that. I mean, gosh, a president, a leader of any kind, who is willing to get up every day and think about, help us help the people and remind us to help ourselves and remind us of the greatness of our Bill of Rights and all these things that we have before us. And, you know, look, I, I get great energy from watching him expend energy. And I will tell you that in Maine, we are a people that are waking up. You know, people are looking, as we've talked about before, to Maine to become a red State in 2026. And by God, everywhere I go, everywhere I go, people are sick and tired of all this Democrat crap. They want their property taxes down. They want their other tax. They want the drug traffickers out of here. They want a happier future. They want a brighter day. And you know, the Republicans are all about delivering that. And I am in Maine and President Trump is nationally and golly, I mean, I look at him every day and I smile. I think, wow, I hope when I'm his age, I've got that kind of energy. That is for sure. Bobby Charles, great to have you. Next year when you're on the show, we'll do a book exchange. We gotta do that, right?
- [35:27]
Dr. Gina
Or we could do a music exchange. We know Terrence can, could, could contribute.
- [35:31]
David Brody
Yeah, every, everybody would return my music here. And I'm just telling you guys now I'm going to give each of you a, the one of those books out of the Four Dummies series. So it'll be Politics for Dummies, Parenting for Dummies, or something like that. Just know that's what's coming from the bases. Thanks, Bobby. Terrence's greatest. Appreciate it. Back in a moment. Everybody, twice gonna find out who's naughty and nice.

Dr. Gina
Welcome back to market sunrise. I'm Dr. Gina. Thank you for joining us. It is time now for today's health news, sponsored by the Wellness Company and under the microscope today. Is it possible to be too old to shovel snow?
- [39:04]
David Brody
No.
- [39:05]
Dr. Gina
Don't say that three times fast because you will trip over it just like I just did. With winter storms arriving across much of the US Health experts warning shoveling snow can be risky. The combination of the cold temperatures and the heavy snow removal which can drive up your heart rate as high as intense treadmill use. So if you don't get on a treadmill every day and get your heart rate up that high, maybe you should hire the kid next door to shovel the snow. Shoveling has been linked to a higher risk of heart attacks, muscle strains, falls and other injuries. Experts suggest people over 65 or really anyone with heart disease or other health risks should consider getting help with snow removal. Even relatively healthy individuals can reduce their risk by just warming up first. Shoveling small amounts at a time, not letting your heart rate get too, too high. If you're not used to it, using a lightweight shovel, pushing rather than lifting when possible, and taking frequent breaks. I just recommend the kid down the street who wants to make the money anyway. Just hire them, let them do the shoveling and then you don't risk your health. At least that's what I think. You know that stubborn ache that ice heat pain pills can barely touch? Well, Therablue was designed to go deeper. This next gen peptide gel uses aqua molecular delivery technology to drive relief ingredients past the skin and deep into the muscle tissue. Its powerhouse trio copper peptide to reduce inflammation. Nad to restore cellular energy. And methylene blue to protect your mitochondrial helps support real recovery, not just numbing. Plus msm, turmeric, white willow bark, arnica and ginger will calm inflammation while menthol and camphor give that instant cooling relief kit. 10% off. TWC Health Rav code Rav move freely. Again with Therablue. David Brody. You know if you're gonna shovel your driveway, you're gonna need the Therablue. It's just, it's just a fact.
- [40:55]
David Brody
That is facts for sure. And sadly, all the kids are out of the house and here I am and the snow comes. I'm like, oh, you got kidding me. No, I'm hiring the kid down the block. Right? I'm going to do it.
- [41:05]
Dr. Gina
Yeah, that's what we got. And listen to the Florida girl giving snowplow snow shoveling advice.
- [41:10]
David Brody
No, the Missouri. No.
- [41:11]
Dr. Gina
You're that's right. Missouri native. I have had my share of snowstorms.
- [41:15]
David Brody
That's correct. All right. Plus I'm helping the economy. Here you go, 16 year old. Get some, you know, go buy something. All right, let's welcome to American Center. I know Curtis Hauck, the managing editor of News Busters at the Media Research Center. Curtis, great to see you. First things first, do you shovel your driveway and will you farm it or will you farm it out to a 14 year old down the block? No, guys, I do it myself. I, A couple years ago my wife and I got one of those shovels where it's like a two piece. Like there's a handle at the top and then there's a handle part way down. So that really like helps, I guess, kind of propel and it has the steel bottom there. So between those things, you know, I like it because I'm active. I go to the gym five days a week.
- [42:04]
Dr. Gina
So that's different. And that's key. That's key. If you're used to, if your blood pressure, your pulse, your heart rate are used to getting that high, that's a different thing than the, you know, 70 year old guy who thinks, oh, today I'm gonna go shovel my sidewalk. And he hasn't had a cardio workout in a while. Right, That's a different thing.
- [42:23]
David Brody
Yeah, exactly. And I'm Curtis Runner. So, you know, she's running 8, 10 miles all the time, so same with her. She likes it as well. Oh, gosh.
- [42:32]
Dr. Gina
Oh, I love Scott.
- [42:33]
David Brody
Well, Curtis, I'm with you. I go to the gym five days a week as well. Well, technically I drive by the gym, but you get the point. Yeah, you go to the gym five days a week. That's five days more than me. All right, Curtis, we understand Newsbusters is releasing a quote of the year. All right, I don't have a drum, but drumroll, please. Who got the honors? Well, we went with Matthew Dowd for, if you recall his comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He went on Ms. The Artist Formerly Known as msnbc. And he said, I always go back to hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that's just the environment that we're in. I mean, there's really no words for that one. And also it helps, added to the fact in terms of deciding who was going to win this award for us, that he then lost his job as an MSNBC contributor. So that one, I will say in second place, we had the infamous Jimmy Kimmel quote, talking about, you know, what side was, you know, the ideology of the suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination. So, so don't worry, folks. He was still part of the consideration. But I think just in terms of merit in the nastiness of it, Matthew Dow was definitely the worst. You know, the mainstream media has also been off the rails this year. President Trump, of course, infamously now suing the BBC for 10 billion with the B dollars over a deceptively edited clip of his January 6 speech. He, of course, also sued 60 Minutes and other. Do you think that these lawsuits are going to ultimately turn things around as the president is holding mainstream media networks to account? Are we going to see a change in 2026? Back to real journalism, just real fair and balanced journalism? Yeah, Terence, first on just that lawsuit, this one's going to be really interesting because it's a, you know, it's UK law, so it's a defamation suit over there. So their definition, their bar for, for making meeting the definition of defamation is way lower than it is here in the United States. So that'll be interesting. And the president's approach is definitely a lesson for conservatives. If you are being unfairly maligned with not just bias but outright falsehoods that even if you're a public figure, you.
- [45:01]
Dr. Gina
Should be entitled to some sort of.
- [45:04]
David Brody
Compensation and or apology because of course, these networks aren't going to apologize. So what the president has had to do because of the his vast financial resources put them to bear in order to bring these networks to heel.
- [45:14]
Dr. Gina
Overall, I hope.
- [45:16]
David Brody
But I don't expect the networks to change too much in 2026 because it is the midterm elections and they definitely feel like they're going to do everything they can to help the left win. You know, Mamdani, the rest of the country, I look particular for ABC News, of course, that was one of the networks that the president did sue and reach a settlement with. But they are by far, in terms of the broadcast networks, the worst with George Stephanopoulos and the like. They will continue to go headfirst into attacking the President, smearing his record on everything from the economy to foreign policy. President Trump failing is a succeed as a success at ABC News. Now the other ones, the New York Times, Washington Post, more of the same as well. Cbs, I think, is maybe the only one of the liberal networks that may see any changes whatsoever with Bari Weiss in charge.
- [46:08]
Dr. Gina
Curtis, as this year comes to a close, which mainstream media outlets are the worst of the offenders, pushing biased narratives?
- [46:17]
David Brody
Well, in the one that I didn't mention there was cnn. I think I've always had an issue guys with CNN because they're just so disingenuous about where they're coming from, that we are facts first. That they act like they are these bulwark.
- [46:32]
Dr. Gina
They are the epitome.
- [46:33]
David Brody
They embody the Constitution and the First Amendment, that their work is very dangerous. Yes. I mean, some of their foreign journalists go over to like places like Africa and get kidnapped in Sudan. I mean, things like that. But outside of that, their political news, what they're doing is not particularly brave at all. It's actually ranked cowardice. You have people like Abby Phillip who are just so disingenuous night after night refusing to hear and allow conservative arguments and grant them attention. I'd also put podcaster Jennifer Welch on, who's made some comments over the last few weeks about Erica Kerr, New York Times. They've definitely played a role in that. Susie Wildsgate a few weeks ago or last week, excuse me, with Peter Baker in his summation of things. So I, I put up, yeah, cnn, New York Times, and then this podcaster Jennifer Welch are definitely my podium, so to speak.
- [47:25]
Dr. Gina
So much competition for that award.
- [47:28]
David Brody
Yeah, right. That's true. Very difficult for us every year. But it's so much fun because we just think like, oh, right, that happened this year too. Yeah. Oh my. It's been a long year layaway.
- [47:40]
Dr. Gina
But there's that one. And they're so bad on this. And then they're so bad. Yeah. I can't even imagine. Your work is never done, Curtis. At finding the worst of the worst offenders. Thank you so much for being with us.
- [47:50]
David Brody
Thanks, Curtis. Good to see you.

Now that we are caffeinated, it's time to stay awake, not woke. And where are we looking out for woke nonsense Going into the new year, college campuses in Texas, a woke culture war firestorm is erupting in the Lone Star State after Texas state representative Brian Harrison posted a video accusing a Texas A and M English professor of illegally teaching a queer friendly children's book. The video showed a student confronting the professor and within hours, the clip triggered a rapid chain reaction across the school system. Within days, the professor was terminated, a dean and department chair were demoted, and the university president resigned under intense political pressure. The fallout has now spread statewide with at least five Texas public university systems launching audits and moving to ban courses involving gender and race ideology, marking one of the most aggressive higher ed crackdowns in Texas history. For discussion, let's bring in David Brody and Terrence Bates. You know, the schools are actually using AI to crack down on woke ideology and to identify, you know, the woke content that is in the schools. David, it's gonna be interesting to see how all of this plays out in the new year.
- [53:50]
David Brody
Well, it's gonna be a full time job too. I mean, there's a lot of woke content and a lot of woke ideology and a lot of crazy. As for this situation, I mean, I think everybody knows where I stand on the gender ideology stuff. There are two genders, okay? There are not any more than that. Anybody that says there are more, they are lying. It's not your truth, my truth, Emily's truth, Terrence's truth, Gina's truth, anybody's truth, It's God's truth and God's truth is found in the Bible and that's the end of the story. T. BATES no, absolutely. And I'll just add to some of what you said, David. That's why it's also incumbent on us as parents to try to prepare our kids at home so when they go off to college, when they're outside of our homes, they can recognize some of the wokeness that's coming their way and they can combat it, that they've got a good foundation to push back against some of this woke ideology. Because the reality is many kids are going away to college and thinking, okay, this is where I'm going to learn what life is about. This is where I'm going to be educated. And some of the education that they're getting is really indoctrination, not education. And so we've got to equip our kids to be able to see when some of that indoctrination and when some of that woke ideology comes their way so that they can push back against it and resist it.
- [55:10]
Dr. Gina
Absolutely. Terrence it's certainly prevalent in college campuses. I mean, I was in college just six years ago and this was happening all the time. And I was that student that would always raise my hand and push back on the profession, professors. But it never got anywhere. You know, I didn't get the A's and I didn't really care. I was like, I would rather take a B or a C and actually stand by my values. But it's great to see in Texas that, you know, this is actually having a response, that they're actually doing something about it. Because I don't think that we really saw that in the past. Terrence.
- [55:37]
David Brody
No, absolutely. And it's tough. I can only imagine you were in college six years ago. It feels like it has been 60 for me. But I can only imagine something of the challenges these days that students are having to deal with and as a result, David, what parents are having to deal with, because you're seeing your kids come home and they're talking some of this gobbledygook, as you have put it in the past, David, and you're like, that ain't what we teach here. Yeah, we get too much of. It takes a village. Don't get me wrong. I think the village, if it's community, that's great. But it takes a family is what it does. It really does. It takes a family at the beginning.

Thousands of businesses have made the switch, so why not you try Odoo for free@odoo.com that's o d o o.com God bless the USA. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Welcome back everybody, to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody. Time now for our moment of faith is brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible. All right, In Focus today, the day after Christmas. Now that Christmas has passed, Jim Moseley, Bible History Guy, is about to take us to a moment in scripture that fits perfectly between Christmas and the new Year. It's the story of Lazarus. Lazarus, Lazarus. Can I get the Bible right? Especially the day after Christmas. My goodness. It's a story of grief, hope and a miracle that changed everything. And Jim is here to give us more information on that and to help us see why this moment matters right now. And Jim, I'm assuming you can pronounce Lazarus name? I'm going to work on it during the break. Good morning to you. Well, a little less wassail, David, and you'll do fine. Take it away. Yeah. As we approach the new year, let's look at a question from the story of Lazarus that speaks directly to how God works in our lives. Why did Jesus wait when the message arrived to him on Friday? Lord, the one you love. Lazarus is sick. Jesus could have left immediately. The journey from the Jordan, Bethany on the Jordan to BETHANY and the Mount of Olives takes about 10 hours downhill. He could have been at the family side by nightfall, but he waited two full days now. Why? Because if Jesus had left on Friday morning, he would have arrived Friday afternoon just as all the households were getting ready their Sabbath meals. He would have performed the miracle on the Sabbath, which he sometimes did. But then very few people would have been outside to see Lazarus raised. Jesus never performed miracles just to impress, but he did perform miracles to teach. In this one, the raising of Lazarus was the sign that would reveal beyond all doubt that he was the resurrection and the life. So he waited two days until Sunday, until Lazarus went from sick sick to dead. Now, Sunday in the Jewish world was a day of movement, not of rest. A day when villagers would be walking the road, fetching water, preparing food, or visiting family. So when the stone was rolled away and Lazarus came out wrapped in burial linens, everyone was there to see. And the witnesses ran back to Jerusalem to tell the religious council. Within mere hours, the miracle was known throughout the city. So Jesus waited not to withhold mercy. Mercy, but to ensure that the miracle accomplished its full purpose. A gift of deeper faith. And that's a New Year's lesson. We often want God to act now. We want answers, healing, direction, and we want everything at once. But Jesus timing is never random. It's always aimed at a greater good, sometimes one we can't see. Between December 31st of AD 32 and January 2nd of AD 33, those very new Year's days were entering now. Now. Jesus, by waiting to raise Lazarus, taught his disciples a lesson they never forgot. God may delay, but he never denies what he's promised. And when he does act, the result is greater than anything we could have imagined. As we head into the new year, remember Lazarus. Remember the family waiting in grief. Remember the disciples, puzzled by Jesus. Delay. And remember the moment when the impossible happened right on schedule. Because God's time. Time is always in time. That's phenomenal, Jim. Absolutely phenomenal. You know, I know some people will be out there who are skeptical of God, Say, you know, God didn't answer my prayer. Oh, no, no, no. He answered your prayer. The answer is either yes, no, or not now. But he answered it. No doubt about it. All right, Jim Moseley, thanks for being with us. The Bible history guy. The day after Christmas, does it get any better than that? My goodness. That's called the Daily Double. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. Thank you, David. All right, back with the second hour of American Sunrise in two minutes. Stick around, everybody. Santa Claus is coming down. He's making a list, checking it twice.

David Brody
Welcome back, everybody, to the second hour of American Sunrise. I'm David Brody coming to you from D.C. let's bring in Dr. G in West Palm. T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Morning to you guys. The day after Christmas, I just like to lounge around. Gina. Terrence, I don't know about you. I just. I just want to just chill out. I want to take a break. I want to rest. So is this your way of telling us that underneath your coat and tie, you've got, like, your pajamas on or something? Is that your way of telling us that, David? That is correct. That is correct.
- [68:49]
Dr. Gina
I'm going business on the top, sleeping on the bottom. I got it. Yeah.
- [68:55]
David Brody
Yeah. This is my footwear right now. What's happening? This is what I'm doing, Terrence. This is what I'm doing today. Crocs. Yes.
- [69:03]
Dr. Gina
Fashion. Oh, paw. Terrence, I had so much fun. I mean, the ascot and everything. And now you've done this. I can't shake that. How do I unsee that? I bleach.
- [69:14]
David Brody
No. You've ruined everything. T. Bates. Yeah.
- [69:17]
Dr. Gina
I had so much fashion respect for you, and I don't know what just happened there. Let's erase that.
- [69:22]
David Brody
Well, I'm more than. I'm more than willing to go home and see the rest of the show to you, too. You guys can have it. I'll go home. I'll be back next week sometime. Yeah. Not gonna work. I love it. All right, well, I tried. All right, guys, let's get to a couple of quick Headlines here. Do you feel a bit beaten up after last night's open, overindulgent Christmas festivities? Well, if so, you're not alone. Millions of Americans shaking off the annual Christmas food hangover, which is a once a year tradition that still brings families together. Experts say the average person eats twice their normal calories on Christmas Day, which is a reminder that real American holidays still do matter. Doctors also say that extra salt carbs and a few holiday drinks can leave you feeling bloated or even tired the next morning. But for most healthy people, it's nothing more than a temporary slowdown. Still, they warn older adults and those with heart issues to hydrate and ease back into the routine at the end of the day. The Christmas feast isn't a problem. It's part of what makes America great and part of what I enjoy about the holiday. For many, the Friday after Christmas, though, is a holiday of another kind. Americans are going to be hitting the stores today for those annual day after Christmas sales, proving once again that shoppers know how to find value and take control of their wallet. Retailers are slashing prices on holiday decor, winter clothes, electronics, toys and of course, sharp budget savvy Americans are ready to cash in if they can. Online shopping reminders remains hot, with many taking advantage of convenient pickup options or even buy now, pay later plans for America. This is a traditional win win. Smart shoppers, savings galore and Main street retailers seeing real results, all without waiting for government interference or corporate policies to tell them what to do. Finally, from one holiday to the next, Americans across the country, country gearing up for the countdown to the New Year's 2026 celebration. Family, friends, communities across the nation are going to be coming together. Major cities like New York, Las Vegas, Orlando, well, they typically pull out all the stops. We're talking fireworks, concerts, iconic ball drops. It's basically a showcase of America's traditions and spirit. For many, it's also a time to reflect on the past year, recognize achievements and look ahead with hope, patriotism and resolve. Safety officials also reminding celebrants to enjoy responsibly, to plan their transportation and to watch out for all those big crowds. That's a quick check of your day after Christmas headlines. Now let's get you back over to David. Hey, David, I'm old school. So now they say buy now, pay later plans. Back in my day, we called it layaway. Are you from that school too? Did you guys call it layaway as well? Oh yeah, definitely layaway. If it's old school, it's me, T. Bates Yeah, no doubt about it. I ain't new school. I'm old school. Layaway, that's what we call it. Like buy now, pay later. Every time I say that or, or you see that I'm like. You mean layaway? Just call it a layaway. It's still layaway. Anyway. It's still layaway. All right, let's bring Gina back into the mix and we've got so much to be thankful for, obviously. And by the way, they're gonna put me on layaway soon. Let's welcome to the show Bobby Everett. Like Everly. I was about to call him Bobby Layaway. Don't lay me away, man. What am I doing? Hey, Bobby. Layaway. What's going on here with a 13 minute news hour? I guess I don't. I mean, we don't want to put you on layaway. We want to ask you. Yeah. What you are the most thankful for this Christmas. Good morning. That wasn't the best intro. I'm so sorry. No, it's all right. The holiday shows with you guys are the best. I never know what to expect, but I'm just thankful for friends and family and the year we've had. I mean, celebrating the birth of Christ is just. It's my favorite holiday, actually. And the whole season brings people together and you want that feeling to extend, you know, that's why the new year is so exciting. You know, we have New Year's Eve and we have this party, but it's really this season that we hope always kind of translates to the new year. And so it's always that hope that I'm thankful for and I'm looking forward to in the next year. But it's great to see you guys. It's great to be here and what a year we've had, right?
- [73:57]
Dr. Gina
Absolutely. Bobby, for you, what are your best with your family? What are the traditions that your family enjoys the most?
- [74:05]
David Brody
Well, see, our big. Our big Pig Out Day is actually Christmas Eve. We go to mass on Christmas Eve. We have our big dinner together and all the family presents. And so Christmas yesterday is Santa. You know, you wake up and you have got those, those few gifts from Santa and it's mostly just a chilled out day the rest of the day and so relaxing today. We often see a Christmas movie, do some other activities, but it's really kind of low key. And today is just about relaxing. But for us, it's always the Thanksgiving. We used to go on trip and someone would run into the house and put out some Santa gifts. And for a While it was so great because we'd come back on Christmas Day and there'd be these new presents that no one knew how they appeared. And so that lasted for quite a while actually. It was a great tradition. But yeah, Christmas Eve is it for us. All right, Bobby. So Gene and David, they asked these great probing questions. I just want to know how many items you put on layaway this year. Two on layaway chairs. After those crocs I saw, I should probably put them away, not put them on layaway. So seriously though, Bobby, how do you assess the Trump administration so far this year? Obviously we're a year in. How do you assess what the administration has been able to achieve in this last year? Well, it's been powerful. I mean, when you think about the all out, it wasn't just incompetence over the last four years and then that's what people need to understand. It was a all out effort to change, fundamentally change the country with open borders and, and just with out of control inflation and DEI and men on women's sports teams and this, the whole works. So what we're seeing in this year is this is concerted effort to fix things and you start off right away with the border, I mean, just clamped it down by February, you know, to even in January of last year, this year year you saw the results and so you've seen the results. That's just a dramatic change. And then the president's address last week, you know, where he's talking about how prices are coming back, energy prices are down, food prices are down, wages relative to inflation are up. All of these are counter to the Biden administration. It's taken some time, but I like the fact that they're getting back on this messaging of affordability and showing that they care about the American family because they, that's, you know, voters of all stripes rallied for the President in the America first agenda and to see that it's paying these results is really good. So I think the border was great. But this affordability issue and the President addressing it last week I think is a major way to close out the year. Bobby, we're going to have you on next Christmas, the day after Christmas and then we're going to talk about what the results of the midterm terms were like. Yeah. And it could be a different situation for the Republicans if they don't get their act together. What's your, what's your sense of it going forward? Because yeah, I know the Democrats love the affordability buzzword, but they do need, they the administration definitely needs to address it and they are, they're working on it. But after Q2 or right around Q2, like June 30, if we don't see some progress by July or August, those midterms could be, could be a problem. Yeah, I mean, we're going against history, that's one thing. But forget that. Let's look at these results, the here and now. And yeah, the Democrats, you know, they're ending the year kind of riding a high, at least they think on some of these election victories that they've had, even though they were in a lot of them in blue areas where he expected blue results. But the thing is, is that we have to show that we are addressing the issues that are critical to the American family, our safety and security, security and prosperity and our freedoms. And we address those in the right way and we can get through this. You know, we've got five new districts, Republican districts in Texas that should help keep the House. If other states, you know, follow up, there's still some time for others to redistrict. Those numbers could help. But as far as the message and the core issues, we've got to be accountable to the American people, people and make sure they deliver because even with the results the Democrats had, they have no real foundation, they have no real issues or platform. They're just running on anti Trump. Anti Trump. We counter that with a strong message of delivering on these core issues, we can, we can be okay.
- [78:35]
Dr. Gina
You know, I've noticed this sort of internal conflict happening on the Republican side of the aisle. The Democrats, everything is easy because they can just lock and they just circle wagons and then they lie some more and they circle more wagons. Republicans, we have a, we have a, almost like a moral crisis that we are constantly in. And it's this, at least in my analysis. And I want to get your take that we can't decide between wanting to circle the wagons and be like the Democrats to just always agree on everything and always be a united front. And the whole idea of, of being self critical, being able to look in the mirror, being able to hold our own accountable, not being sycophantish toward any administration or personalities and being able to say, hey Republicans, we insist on you keeping campaign promises and being more true to your word. Bobby, where do you fall on this and what's the solution here? Because we're not a party that can just stand around and lie in circle wagon.
- [79:38]
David Brody
Right? Man, this is a great question because what it hits to is the core of this, the independent streak that Republicans and conservatives have. I mean, we had a great election results. I'm county chairman outside of Houston, and we have great election results. And then we have a meeting, and it's still 50, 50 people are complaining about something. It doesn't matter the success you have. Someone will find something to complain about. And that is because we always want to get better. We always want to do things better. What could we do? Done. What should we done? And it's just ongoing where the Democrats do seem to be able to, you know, void of any kind of actual positions. They can, they can just rally and say, well, I've got a D. We're going to vote for that person.
- [80:21]
Dr. Gina
Yeah.
- [80:21]
David Brody
And it doesn't matter. And we are much more critical thinkers, and we want to have the best candidates and we want to have the best policies. And sometimes, you know, the politics gets kind of pushed to the side. And I think that a lot of the conflict is trying to, to show some people sometimes say that the politics is a real part of human nature and human interaction. You have to use some of that to advance. And that balance is where Republicans come into conflict. Yeah. We've got to be authentic. That's right at the end of the day and be tethered to reality. Bobby Eberle, thanks for being here. Merry Christmas. Thanks so much. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family. All right. Coming up on American Cinerise, who is the Queen of the D.C. swamp? Have I met her? Anyhow, we're fleshing out the worst of the worst on Capitol Hill. You don't want to miss this big reveal. Back after the break.

Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn. Time now to drain the swamp. And this morning we're flushing out Nancy Pelosi, our swampiest DC Creature. Heading into the new year, she entered Congress with modest means 20 terms later. Estimated worth nearly $300 million. Stock trades, real estate, power plays. That is textbook swamp. She's been in Washington so long they named a federal building after her and then had to pass the Swamp act to sell it. You can't make this up. 40 years in office, millions made from well timed trades, and now a farewell book tour blaming everyone but herself. A perfect swamp creature talked about draining the swamp, but the only thing she ever drained was profit into her own portfolio. Let's bring in Dr. Gina, David and Terrence to discuss this further. I mean, certainly Nancy Pelosi gets the crown on Swampiest in D.C. but there's so many honorable mentions that we missed. David.
- [85:20]
David Brody
So hard to choose from, you know, just that it's just such a hard, hard question, you know, perplexing. But Nancy Pelosi can definitely win. Honestly, you could just, like every year, you know, just put her down, though I guess in the future, we're not going to put her down because she'll be out of the swamp. But you know what's interesting me about the portfolio stuff is that literally, people have based their stock portfolios off of what she buys. I mean, literally, there are websites devoted to this. Nancy Pelosi bought this today. You might want to get that. And guess what? I know a few people who have done that. And guess what? What? They are making bank. That's all I got to say.
- [86:01]
Dr. Gina
Dr. G, I don't want to gloss over the criminality here. This is insider trading.
- [86:05]
David Brody
There's that.
- [86:06]
Dr. Gina
Yeah, she should be in prison. So, I mean, I don't want to be hard on the day after Christmas. So I won't do a Gina rant here, but just know it's in me. And I could. I could, Emily, feel free. I could. But instead, you know, from the lighter perspective and ignoring the criminality here, I do think it is. There are so many options inside of D.C. for Swamp Queen nominations. I mean, Ilhan Omar, AOC, you know, the list goes on. There are so many of them. And, you know, it's just. It's hard to decide. If I. If I were a judge in that contest, Emily, I don't know what I'd do. It's definitely tough to pick. Terrence, do you think that we picked the right person as the swampiest in.
- [86:49]
David Brody
D.C. i think that's a good pick, but I'm going to broaden it to the swamp swamp court, not just the king or queen.
- [86:57]
Dr. Gina
Oh, he's being equal opportunity.
- [87:02]
David Brody
Yes. I'm going to broaden it a little bit. Someone else mentioned this, and I think this is a good one. Bob Menendez, Gold Bar Bob. He would be in the swamp court for sure. He might be the court jester with gold and all that stuff that he's done. I think he would be a great option. The Biden family. I'll just take the whole family. The entire Biden family. I think we could put them in there. And I would say that the bard of the court would be Hunter Biden. With all that he brought to Washington, D.C. and his expected or supposed influence on his father, I think that is a good start to fill out the court if anybody else wants to add others. And I'm not thinking.

Yeah. George Santos. That is a very good one. And he's still in the Santos, David. Yeah, yeah, he is still in the spot. Yeah. George Santos. He'd be good. But I like. I like Willy Wonka. Yuba Menendez. I like him. I think he's good. I think he's good. Willy Wonka. Wonka. That's a good one. I just got that. It took me a minute to get that one. I get the gold reference now with Willy Wonka.

- [93:30]
David Brody
Look, I mean, this is such an important. It's not just a song, right? It's a movement, and it's from the heart. And it really kind of goes to what we've been talking about on this show and really, quite frankly, real America's voice ever since the get go, which is it's all about freedom and all about making sure that there's justice. T. Bates. Yeah, no, absolutely. And this song has already really surged up the charts. It's really a thing of beauty, and it's something that we encourage everyone to kind of get on with. This project actually flips the script. It shows what patriots and that patriots still have a voice. And if we happen to come together, we can really take this all the way to number one on the Billboard charts. That is the ultimate goal, Dr. Gina. And I'm confident it's going to get there.

Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks so much for joining us this morning. We invite you to hop in our conversation, YouTube, Getter Rumble, you name it. Time now to take the political pulse of America, the beat today, the day after Christmas, Christmas shift the wrapping paper. Well, hopefully you got it all cleared up and thrown away. The house quiets down, reality settles back in. Got to start clearing those surfaces. That's what I tell my children. But for the Quiet Majority, it's a moment to rise even higher. A moment to look ahead with purpose, to carry the faith mantle, the gratitude, the hope of the season into the new year. There's real opportunity on the horizon. And what comes next will be shaped by our commitment to engaged. The Quiet Majority is awake. Our voice, the heartbeat, is becoming the true political pulse of the moment. Let me bring in American Sunrise contributor Emily Fennon, joining us both to discuss the Quiet Majority. Someone not so quiet, the Motor City Madman is here, along with his beautiful, passionate wife. And of course, we are talking about Ted and Shamir Nugent, just one of the coolest couples you could Ever know. Chemain, of course, is the host of the Faith and Freedom show here at Real America's Voice. And Ted hosts his spirit campfire right here. Rav. Welcome back guys, listen. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Want to talk tradition, Ted? Tell us about the traditions in your family that mean the most. I always like to get ideas from my family for the next year.
- [104:33]
David Brody
Well, your intro was a ditto, Ditto, ditto from the Nugent family, Shamayne and I, all our kids and grandkids and the most important ones, Jackson, Sadie and Coca are hunting dogs. So yes, you know, we celebrated the birth of Jesus. So I would like to remind everybody, as I do every day because I got a big mouth because the founding fathers wanted everybody to be just like me, to be suspicious of all authority and demand constitutional accountability from my elected employees. Are you people still with me? The bottom line is if we celebrate the the birth of Jesus, we need to continue doing God's work because America is not quite fixed yet. And we the people can fix it if we get rid of the self inflicted curse of apathy and actually experiment in self government. So I don't know about you guys, Dr. Gina, but we celebrate Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, every day. And I say we keep the Christmas spirit going all year long. What do you think about that?
- [105:24]
Dr. Gina
Love that. Absolutely love that. Love that. You know, Gina, you are so right. They are just the cutest couple of all time. Chemain, I'm wondering what were some of your favorite memories throughout 2025 together? Your best moments of the year. It's a year in review. Well, we've had an incredible year. Our son Rocco and his wife got married last year in 2024 and we welcomed the birth of their baby, River River Wolf.
- [105:51]
David Brody
River Wolf, New.
- [105:52]
Dr. Gina
So it's been an incredible and to be quite honest with you, they've spoken about this. He was in NICU for three weeks and that was very trying. And I think when you have those trying times and then you get through it, that's where the peace of God comes from. We don't always know when we're going to get to the other side and feel that peace, but we are so grateful. So 2025 has been such a blessing for the Nugent family. I love that. I love that and I love how much you all are faith and family and freedom, like all the time, the three Fs. But talk to us a little bit about what it has meant to you to sort of be able to communicate with the American audience in the ways that you have so that there's such a legacy in that. Right. And there's so much meaning in that. And you feel like that relationship with your audience becomes one of the primary relationships into your life. Both of you. I'd love to hear you speak to that.
- [106:56]
David Brody
Well, Shimane has changed people's lives. We're approached all the time, Dr. Gina. And we take it to heart and we're humbled and honored that people listen to us because the First Amendment is the First Amendment. And if you can't express yourself uninhibited and honest, honest and unafraid, then you haven't got an American dream. So Chemain is the best at that. I do it a little bit different. She does it with kind of a pirouette. I bring a crowbar to the conversation. Yes, this is true, but she's doing God's work, and I mean literally. Well, thank you.
- [107:29]
Dr. Gina
And I do appreciate that. And that's a good analogy because I've fought to do my Real America's Voice show in a slightly different mat, But I do feel like all of us.
- [107:41]
David Brody
Here on RAV get the same message across.
- [107:43]
Dr. Gina
We just might be doing it a little bit differently. And my audience comes from the point.
- [107:49]
David Brody
Of a huge faith base and that.
- [107:52]
Dr. Gina
I became a seeker when I got sick and almost died from toxic mold. And no doctors could help me. So my. I've learned from Ted watching him be the first of Cancel Culture being the first. Who told you can't talk about hunting when you're doing a rock and roll tour.
- [108:07]
David Brody
Tour. You can't talk about the second Amendment.
- [108:09]
Dr. Gina
When you're going on stage and those types of things. I've seen him for 37, almost 38 years.
- [108:15]
David Brody
Wow.
- [108:16]
Dr. Gina
Stand up to the. To the. To the big guy, so to speak.
- [108:20]
David Brody
And I've learned from that.
- [108:22]
Dr. Gina
And I thought, you know, why not me?
- [108:24]
David Brody
I'll do this, too, you know, she's very impacting. She's very effervescent, shall we say? I have this effervescent masculinity. She have an effervescent truth logic in common sense. Sense in a very believable fashion. And like you guys and everybody on Real America's Voice, God bless a real America's voice, Not just the program, but the pulse of real Americans. And we're unafraid. And we see the political correctness and the Cancel Culture and all this evil forces in the media and government and academia and Hollywood. And if you don't fight back, you're not neutral. You're actually Throwing out the welcome mat for the negativity and the evildoers. So we fight back and we reward ourselves with the healing powers of the outdoor lifestyle. Hunting, fishing, trapping, gardening, planting trees, hunting with our dogs. It literally is the ultimate escape. So anybody that wants to approach 2026, get a bow and arrow. Because the mystical flight of the arrow gets of all the negativity while you're in that archery moment.
- [109:31]
Dr. Gina
Amazing. Well, I am going to be on Amazon right now looking up how to get a bow and arrow immediately after 2026. Thank you for that, Ted. You know, Shamin, I have tremendous respect everything that you say, you really have your faith at the core of everything that you do on your show. I'm wondering what inspires that. What inspires you to always walk with faith? You know, number one, getting sick and almost dying. And I remember making, you know, we all, we've all done it, if we're honest, making a pact with God. If I can just get through this, I will be on the bandwagon. I will be an Esther. I will be Esther 4:14. If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance is going to come from someplace else.
- [110:11]
David Brody
Who knows if you have come to.
- [110:13]
Dr. Gina
The kingdom for such a time as, as this and throughout rivers birth that I prayed incessantly. Throughout the struggles that we've had, not only in our relationships, but also, you know, losing loved ones and pets even I have had hands on praying for our dogs and praying for river. And I see God coming through every single time and that's what keeps me going.
- [110:38]
David Brody
And I gotta tell you guys, we are really strengthened and fortified by the love and the positive spirit and energy and attitude that we're bombarded with every day. When people bring their heartbreak, their hardships, their struggles to us, we have to be stronger to help them. And I gotta tell you, I'm just a guitar player, but it happens all the time. Not a day in our life goes by without someone approaching us and sharing how our truth, logic and common sense. Unreal. America's voice and Ted Nugent, Spirit of the Wild TV and the Pursuit Channel because we inject this lifestyle in everywhere we go. And every time we use the first emotion amendment. So I want to thank everybody out there because they're believing in us, makes us stronger. And if we're strong, it's because of the spirit of the people that approach us every day.
- [111:29]
Dr. Gina
You know, you, you bring up something so interesting. We're in this Maha, this age of Maha, right? Where everyone's rediscovering what actually works, what science actually is and where the data is and the things that you have stood for. Getting out in the wild. You talked about, you know, shooting an arrow. I know that was. Might have been in my husband's Christmas stocking this year. It was some sort of bow thing he wanted. I don't know what it was. Some sort of power bow or. I don't know. Anyway, compound.
- [111:58]
David Brody
Yeah. Crossbow.
- [111:58]
Dr. Gina
Crossbow. That's it. Yes.
- [112:00]
David Brody
They're all good.
- [112:01]
Dr. Gina
Yes. And he's taken to hunting. And I've realized that, like, my time in the mountains is invaluable to me. I say I don't need therapy. I just need to go to the mountains and I just need to ski. That's kind of my outlet. I can't kill animals. I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me. Ted, don't hate. I just can't. I can't do it. But Gina, you gotta come. Gina, you gotta come sit with me in a blind. And you'll see mother Nature unfold and you'll understand really what is behind. You know, we're not out to kill stuff. I know. We also don't want to pay a butcher to do our killing. You need to be able to do. It's a soccer. Yeah, I totally agree with you, Anit. I need to strengthen this weakness. It's a challenge to myself, maybe a New Year's resolution. But I want you to speak to the science that is now coming out and saying, oh, my goodness, if you stand on the ground for 10 minutes barefoot a day, right. All of these health implications happen that are so good for you. If you spend time in nature, you have fewer heart attacks, you have less cancer, you have these. If you ingest food that is natural, that came from someone who hunted it rather than from a grocery store with the hormones and the pesticides and the food dies and da, da, da, da, right? All this is proving out what you've been seeing for years. Talk to us about this.
- [113:19]
David Brody
Well, I hung up a deer this morning. I killed a deer this morning. And I wrote an article many years ago titled Prayer for the wild Things. It is so emotional. It is so spiritual. When you call upon the gifts from God to guide your arrow in an ethical, conscientious reasoning. Predator, clean kill. It is overwhelming. I parallel it to the birth of a child, the saying goodbye to a loved one at a grave, but pursuing natural sustenance. I'm 77 years old and flames were coming out of of my butt last week. When I was on stage, because I have so much energy, because I'm fueled by the sacred flesh of these creatures that God sent for me to provide. Venison, people, if it's fda, usda, cdc, it's poison. What I get from the ground, the squirrels, the woodchucks, the doves, the sandhill cranes, ribeye in the sky, the deer, the elk, the bear, the cougar, the things that we kill and we process, it is so fulfilling. I say prayer for the wild thing so I can send my arrow home and kill cleanly. And when I get to that deer, it was. It was a doe. I was going to say just a doe. But to kill a doe with a bow and arrow is such an accomplishment. It's almost impossible because they were made not to let guitar players stab. Yeah, I am out of body because bringing this venison out, needy Americans who don't want, you know, 10 day old bread, they want protein. And there's nothing more pure and healthy than venison. So people, if you're buying stuff from the store that you can't pronounce, cut it out. It's chemical warfare. I eat pure natural venison and it shows. And they used to attack me for it. Now they're going, ah, Nugent has. Nugent was right all along. I've been right all along.
- [115:21]
Dr. Gina
Right all along. And she may. I sent you a picture of my husband with his hog catch this morning, but I'm going to join you in that blind. You have a commitment for me. That's my New Year's resolution. Good. I'm going to join you.
- [115:34]
David Brody
Good.

Again, that website is artilleryteaco.com, premium tea, mission driven and brewed for the brave. It is time now to spill some tea. And in the cup. Today, the Democrat dinosaurs still roaming Capitol Hill. A group with 215 years of combined time served almost as old as America itself. Like old ornaments that should have been retired decades ago. These political relics just keep going back on the tree. Senator Ed Markey, 48 years he's been in Washington so long he should come with a historical marker. Schumer and Wyden, 44 years each. They don't run for reelection. They just get hung back up like last year's 10. 44 years he served under so many presidents. His holiday photo album looks like a history textbook. Dick Durbin and Macy Kaptor, 42 years each. They've seen more terms than a toy assembly manual on Christmas morning. And of course, Nancy Pelosi, the grand dame of the swamp, nearly four decades in now, stepping aside like a tree topper that's seen one too many seasons. So when we say Capitol Hill is a swamp swamp, we're not being cynical. It's starting to feel like a political Jurassic park, just with more garland. All right, we want to know what you think. Let us know on Rumble or Getter. Hop on and let your voice be heard. Still ahead on American Sunrise 2025 is officially coming to a close and all the hosts on American Sunrise are reflecting on their best and worst moments of the year.

Dr. Gina unfortunately, my pleas fell on deaf ears because ain't nobody pay no bills. I still have the same bills that I was hoping to get paid off before the holiday. I still got to pay them. But it really has been a good year. And I will say to all three of you, thank you so much for being great co hosts and workers to work with. It's always fun getting up knowing that I'm gonna come and spend a couple of hours with you guys every morning. That makes it worth getting up for.

Dr. Gina
Likewise. Brody, what's your, what's your favorite memory from this past year so far?

David Brody
Well, 367 days ago, just a year and two days, my daughter was diagnosed with stage three lymphoma on Christmas Eve. It actually happened on Christmas Eve. And here we are, cancer free. She is cancer free, living her best life a year later. So I'm calling that a win, a W, if you will. And we started that Christmas Eve, 367 days ago. We started a book of blessings that evening. And we said, lord, we're gonna wait and see what the blessings you have that will come out of this. And boy, we're on page 31. Wow.

Dr. Gina
So wait, tell us about this. You put a book somewhere and people just write in it from your family. Tell us how you do it.

David Brody
Yeah, my wife actually started it and she said, you know what? We're gonna write down every single blessing that comes from what, you know, the tough circumstance of last year, and we've just seen miracle after miracle. Long story. Bottom line is I am thankful for this audience, for all the prayers. Terrence, of course, and Gina, of course. You have been spearheading the effort in so many different ways and just been there for Lena the whole time. So from the bottom of my heart.

I love that girl. Love her. She's shining like the star. She is. I saw her a couple weeks ago. Emily, I know you had your family in town. I know that's gotta be top of your list. I love how they follow you to every Christmas, no matter where your broadcasting career has taken you. Yes, they are awesome. Very, very thankful for my family. They're always by my side.

David Brody
All right.

Dr. Gina
And same faith, family, freedom. Having all my children together over the holidays, a huge blessing.

Book exchanges.

Dr. Gina
What'd you say?
- [128:04]
David Brody
Book exchanges as well. You're thankful for book exchanges?
- [128:07]
Dr. Gina
My book exchange that flopped because my children mocked me. Yes. All right, you guys. We hope that your Christmas memories were just as special. Can't wait to share the new year with you. War Room is up next. Go both now. Live the truth. 10 athletes will face the toughest job interview in fitness that will push past physical and mental breaking points. You are the fittest of the fit. Only one of you will leave here with an IFIT contract for $250,000. This is where mindset comes in. Someone will be eliminated.
