Ahead on American Sunrise Rooting out fraud. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is threatening to withhold SNAP benefit money to states who stand in the way of those efforts. It's one of the stories we're working for you this morning. Plus, former special counsel Jack Smith being called on to sit down for a closed door deposition before the House Judiciary Committee. So what new information could come out? North Carolina Congressman Mark Harris, who sits on that committee, is standing by and will join us live to weigh in in just a moment. And then later, as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the Trump administration defend the use of boat strikes, a top admiral and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff both are headed to Capitol Hill to brief lawmakers. Those stories and so much more right now on this first hour of American Sunrise.
- [03:34]
Good morning, America.
- [03:37]
Dr. Gina
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
- [03:42]
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.
- [03:54]
Dr. Gina
The American dream is still alive.
- [03:57]
David Brody
I'm David Brody. I'm terrence.
- [03:59]
Dr. Gina
And I'm Dr. Gina.
- [04:06]
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. t. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, gentlemen.
- [04:18]
David Brody
Good morning, Dr. Gaming. Merry Christmas.
- [04:21]
Dr. Gina
Merry Christmas.
- [04:21]
David Brody
I see the decorations.
- [04:22]
Dr. Gina
I know, we're so Christmassy. I'm so glad you noticed. Poor Colin. You know, they go to all the trouble to put up all the Christmas. I'm like, can you move them in? Can you make them closer? Can we make sure they're in every shot? Because I just, I can't get enough Christmas guys.
- [04:36]
David Brody
Love it. Well, you guys know what I want for Christmas, so I won't repeat it. You guys already know what it's you.
- [04:41]
Dr. Gina
To pay a bill. Pay his bills.
- [04:42]
David Brody
I want you to pay. Pay his bills. America, please pay Terrence's bills this Christmas. That's a politics. And you know what? I'm, I'm a selfish person. It's not even bills plural. One. Yeah. Can be a singular bill.
- [04:54]
Dr. Gina
He's gonna let us pick any bill we want.
- [04:59]
Plumbing bill. Yeah.
- [05:01]
David Brody
Plumbing bill.
- [05:03]
Dr. Gina
Is that a bill?
- [05:04]
David Brody
Well, well, I do have a little leak under my sink right now that I can't seem to fix. So there may be a plumbing bill coming into my future soon. Anyway, guys, just the news is out with this headline and this is the story that just keeps on giving. I feel like Chairman Comer launches investigation into massive fraud. And in Minnesota, on Governor Waltz's watch, of course, the Oversight Committee is seeking documents and communications all related to allegations of massive fraud, specifically fraud from.
- [05:34]
The communities there. And some of this money has also reportedly gone to terror groups like Al Shababa. This is a huge story, David, and it's one that just seems to continue to grow and we continue to get more information. Yeah. You know what also seems to grow as I thought about this this morning? The House Oversight Committee work. I mean, they're doing this. They've got Bill and Hillary Clinton slated for subpoenas here in about a week or so, week or two. We'll see if that actually happens. Over. Over the whole Epstein stuff. They have the auto pens stuff they're working on with Biden. I mean, it just keeps going on and on. And then it made me think, oh, the midterms are coming up. And if Democrats get control of the House Oversight Committee and obviously the House Judiciary Committee get ready for impeachment.
- [06:18]
President, it's gonna happen, guys. We know it's coming.
- [06:20]
Dr. Gina
I heard of it, though.
- [06:21]
David Brody
I mean, I know it's ridiculous.
- [06:24]
Dr. Gina
Like, I mean, Republicans didn't do that to incompetent. Can't find my way to the White House and back Biden fall off my bike, walk off the stage like Republicans didn't do. Why is that such a thing? I just, I hope the American public will be very vocal, and that is not what they want. You know, I mean, let's just demand that. That is not where we let them go. I don't know. That's my opinion.
- [06:53]
David Brody
Well, and here's the thing. I mean, the Democrats are treating impeachment like naming post offices there in Congress.
- [06:59]
Dr. Gina
It's like a legislative obligation for them. Yeah, that's right.
- [07:03]
David Brody
Yeah. And let's just be honest. Even if the American public is vocal, which I suspect many of us will be, about this pushback against impeachment, Democrats are still going to move forward because that seems to be their only playing card. That seems be the only card they have to play and that they will play.
- [07:19]
Dr. Gina
Well, I want to say to you guys really quickly, I was at the Glenn Beck American Journey Experience last night. American Experience Journey. American Journey Experience last night. Beautiful event. But I want to tell you guys, man, everybody watches you, too. They love you, too. So what's Terrence like in real life? What's David Brody like in real life? You know, it's so cute how they don't answer that. They want to know about you guys and about Jake and about Steve Bannon and I had more fun. It was just such a, such a nice night. But the loyal viewership in this audience, I just want to thank everyone. You know, we used to take time on this show to, like, talk about the people we met in the audience who watched the show. There's too many now. Can't do it. It was awesome. It was an awesome time. And kudos to, of course, our whole team for those compliments. Today's Bible verse, another thing we are so, so thankful for is Psalm 116, verse 17. I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call upon the name of the Lord. And we stay in that Thanksgiving mindset, I think during this Advent season where there is just so much to be thankful for, namely, namely our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And we go now from the word of God to the word of the Trump administration. Not God, but doing a lot of really cool things that I think God loves. And one of those is our agricultural secretary, Brooke Rollins. She is holding fast and she is threatening to withhold SNAP benefit funds to states who do not comply with requests with requests regarding recipients. Say that three times fast. Requests regarding recipients and their immigration statuses. Rollins says that roughly 21 states have not complied with these requests. And this includes. This is going to shock you guys. California. It also includes New York. In Minnesota, little bit problematic states, you might say. None of those three have given the data. This was requested back in February. Rollins also said these requests were aimed to root out fraud. I thought Democrats wanted fraud rooted out, right? Well, for more, let's bring in Pastor North Carolina Congressman Mark Harris. Congressman, you know, here we are, same problematic states, same fraudulent states, same states that want to keep people. I think we need to point this out at every turn. Don't you, Congressman, want to keep people dependent on big daddy government. Because when you can subvert God himself and make government people's God, so they're dependent on government and not God, you ruin a culture, you ruin a family, you take fathers out of the home. What else?
- [10:04]
David Brody
Well, you couldn't have said it any better. It's a reality of what we deal with every day here on Capitol Hill and trying to deal with the other side that is trying to make government, God, trying to make people dependent on the government at every turn. But I'm very grateful for Secretary Rollins and the stand that she is taking and the work that she is doing. And I think it's important for the general public to remember something about the SNAP program that often gets lost. It's one of those few programs that, that is 100% funded by the federal government and yet administrated by the states. So the states are putting all kinds of folks on these roles, and yet we are providing 100% of the funding from the federal government. And one of the things that they're doing is simply trying to recognize and root out the fraud, waste and abuse is taking place so that we can indeed preserve this program for those that are really needy in our community. And I want to tell you, they're already producing results. I mean, of the data they've already collected from those that are cooperating, they've already found 186,000 people that were deceased that were still receiving SNAP benefits. And really shocking, they found 500,000 people that are listed on the SNAP benefits roll more than once. That's a problem. And so again, it's one of those things that we've seen this administration make a commitment to early. President Trump said we were going to do government differently. And I think the American people sent a message that's what they wanted to happen. And so here we are coming into December, the last month of this year. And I'm very grateful that we're still staying the course of rooting out this waste, fraud and abuse so that we can preserve these programs for those that are truly the needy in our communities. Yeah, it reminds me of students, you know, in school where they just provide. These states are like the students that just provide the answers to the test. And the government here is saying, hey, show your work. Let's, let's see how you got to that answer. You know, that's, that's the analogy. Yeah, let's hodgepodge a little bit and look at this Fox News headline, Congressman. The Trump administration targeting anti Christian violence with new Visa crackdown policy following Nigeria attacks. So basically, essentially, you've got the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, announcing this week that the State Department is going to deny visas or they would be allowed to deny visas to those who have, quote, directed, authorized, significantly supported, participated in or carried out violations of religious freedom. That's an exact quote in Nigeria. Your thoughts on this? Because this needs to get a lot more attention. Obviously. It does need to get a lot more attention. And I'm very grateful for you all doing the story. And I'm grateful for any news outlet that is really highlighting what has happened in Nigeria and these other countries that are really attacking religious freedom. Here we are at Christmas time in America celebrating. And we need to just remember to never take for granted this freedom that we have to be able to worship, to be able to celebrate, to be able to exercise our freedom of religion in this country. And so it needs to be a reminder. But listen, what's happened in Nigeria, Nigeria is horrible. And we've got to make sure that the spotlight is put on it. And that's exactly what President Trump is attempting to do. I mean, the Biden administration, they removed Nigeria from the list of countries of particular concern. That was a really bad move. And so President Trump has reinstated that. Secretary Rubio, as you mentioned, has announced these efforts that are being made to crack down on those that have been a part of this persecution. And it's very important for us to stand in the gap to protect these individuals in these countries and try to preserve religious freedom where we can. At any point, Congressman, speaking of putting a spotlight on travesties and tragedies, political is out with this headline which says, jack Smith subpoenaed for closed door House Judiciary interview. Congressman, you of course, sit on that committee. The deposition position is set for December 17, and Mr. Smith is supposed to provide documents by December 12. What are you expecting to come out of all of this? Well, I certainly hope that he's going to show up and answer that subpoena. Congressman Jim Jordan, who's the chairman of our Judiciary Committee, made that announcement that he's going to be here in two weeks. That was yesterday. So we're hoping on the 17th of December we're going to be able to do a little deeper dive and check into this Operation Arctic Frost where so many people were violated. Chairman Jordan himself was surveilled and looking for the phone calls. And all those kind of things were a real problem. And we're seeing senators and congressmen that really were being spied upon and their records seized, trying to look at every call they made, calls that came in, who they talked to. That's wrong. And listen, nobody was more a victim of lawfare than President Trump himself and what he has battled. And so I'm grateful that our Judiciary Committee and Chairman Jordan is stepping up and we're going to hopefully get to some answers and try to find out more.

Dr. Gina
Congressman, I do hope that all of Congress realizes the level of fraud in the ebt. Number one, in two items bought chips and soda. I mean, start right there. I don't understand why they have carte blanc to just buy whatever kind of junk foods they want. It should at least. I mean, in other countries they supplement beans and rice. You know, I don't know. Anyway, Congress at least it's healthy. A lot healthier than chips and soda. Congressman Mark Harris, thank you so much for everything you're doing to fight against this fraud and everything else. We appreciate you coming on the show.
- [16:02]
David Brody

This news break is brought to you by amac, association of Mature American cit.

Okay, Joe Biden, I know you're watching American Sunrise. Quick, what's the name of that building? Quick. That's New York City. That's the Empire State Building, everybody. Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody. Coming up, Venezuela. Look, we send so much, we have so much military buildup down there. Is President Trump going to pull the trigger? And what does that look like exactly? If indeed he does? The latest in a moment. First, though, T. Bates standing by with the latest headlines from the Real America's Voice newsroom, 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. President Trump will welcome the president of Rwanda and Congo to the White House this morning to solidify a peace agreement between the two countries. The commander in peace helped broker this agreement that's being signed today. The two countries have been warring for decades now. The current agreement involves troop withdrawals, joint security mechanisms, and regional economic integration. This is just the latest attempt at peace between the two countries, though a deal that was signed back in 2002 included provisions for the withdrawal of Rwandan troops from Congo and dismantling other armed groups. Still, the fighting continued. And in other headlines, the admiral who oversaw the now infamous September 2nd double strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean is expected to tell lawmakers on Capitol Hill that the people killed in that strike were legitimate military targets. Admiral Frank Bradley was the head of the Joint Special Operations Command at the time of the attack. He'll testify before the House and Senate Armed Forces Committee starting today. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, will join him. September's attack has drawn bipartisan scrutiny related to the legality of the move, particularly that second strike that was meant to kill two survivors of the initial strike. During today's classified briefings, Admiral Bradley will likely continue the Pentagon's narrative that the two survivors were legitimate military targets because they were perceived as capable of continuing drug trafficking. New Orleans is the latest American city to feel the pinch of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Federal agents have been gearing up for the operation for weeks now. On Wednesday, they finally hit the streets looking to round up illegal immigrants accused of violent crimes. More than 200 Customs and Border Protection along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are on the ground in New Orleans. Operation Catahua of Crunch, as it's named, is expected to last for about 60 days. It follows similar crackdowns in Chicago, Louisiana, as well as Charlotte, North Carolina. That's a quick check of your headlines. Now let's get a quick check of your forecast. Weather Nation meteorologist Adrian Hernandez joining us there with the very latest. Also, we're going to show you a QR code that you can scan to join our team over at Weather Nation. Adrian, good morning, my friend. I see a lot of green on the board there behind you. If I'm not mistaken, that typically means cold. Well, no, that typically means rainfall. But if we're talking cold, Terrence, you guys got plenty of it. I know that it's been real cold out in Denver. It was snowing over the last few days and I can't imagine your commute into work was too fun. At the very least, though, not really too much snow expected at the Denver metro for the next few days, Terence, that might be better news for you guys, but we're going to talk a little bit about what's going on across the nation. We do have snow well up to the north, as you guys can see by these blue and purple colors. All in the Northwest, things are going to be really active. We got lots of rain, lots of snow up in the mountains. You see some of these totals measuring up into two feet. And then down south, we've got a Gulf coast soaker that's currently raining away across the portions of the south. As of right now, here's what it looked like over the last three hours. We can see a lot of this rainfall sticking down south. If you're in places like Oklahoma City, even out towards Arkansas, you're picking up early morning snowfall for the four year forecast. Especially out in the Northwest, we're still dealing with rain. If we kind of time everything out, we can see we're going to be dealing with this rain down south pretty much all day today, well into one o' clock in the morning on Friday. Then we have even more snowfall further north in places like Virginia and then more snow going into the weekend. But if you notice while all this was going on, rain down south, snow up north, it has not stopped raining and snowing out in the Northwest. These are going to be some of the totals we're looking at. Like I was mentioning, places like the Northwest, Northwest picking up even close to two feet of snow. But notice, Terence, down in Denver, you might get some snow up in the Rockies. I'm not going to really tell you that you're not going to get that because that's more than likely. But you might be safe from getting some snowfall onto this weekend. At least buy your home. All right, Cool. I'll take it because we're still trying to shovel out the driveway, but that's a whole nother story. If you want to come down and visit and help, you're more than welcome. Adrian, you have an open invitation. Good to see you, Mark. I think I'm going to pass on that, but thank you. You're going to pass on that. Smart man. Smart man. All right. We'll check back with you next hour for our hometown forecast. By the way, folks, if you'd like a hometown forecast, go to any of our social media platforms. Get a rumble, YouTube, let us know where you're hanging out. And you may be one of our lucky recipients of a hometown forecast from Adrian. Up next, though, it's not just Venezuela that could face attacks due to suspected drug activity. Find out what other country President Trump is naming. We'll have 47's comments next. First, though, a quick look at this day in history.

It was on this date in 1783 that George Washington bid farewell to the forces of the Continental Army. After the Revolutionary War, Washington gathered them in New York City to tell them that he was resigning and returning to civilian life. Life. It was six years later in 1789, that Washington would return to public life and serve as the first president of the United States. He did so until 1797.

Jupiter, Florida. Can I go down there, please? It's freezing up here in the deep state in D.C. i had frost on my windshield this morning, and it was not pleasant. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. All right, so this week at his Cabinet meeting, President Trump said that any country who is manufacturing and shipping drugs into the US could face attacks. He's not just talking about Venezuela. Have a look. Any country. Or if we think they're building mills for whether it's fentanyl or cocaine. I hear Colombia, the country of Colombia is making cocaine. They have cocaine manufacturing plants. Okay. And then they sell us their cocaine. We appreciate that very much. But, yeah, anybody that's doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack. Not necessarily just Venezuela. No, not just Venezuela. No. Venezuela has been very bad. Venezuela has been really bad. In something else. Purple. Probably worse than most, but a lot of other people do it, too. They would send murderers into our country. They would empty their jails into our country. They sent people into our country that we don't want. They sent their drug dealers and their drug people into our country. They sent people from their mental institutions into our country, and we're getting them out. That was bad. That was real bad. And they also sent drugs. All right, let's discuss this now. Joining us is former Department of Homeland Security advisor and former Secret Service Special Agent Charles Marino. Charles, good to have you back on the show. Let's talk about Venezuela specifically. Yeah. So what do you think ultimately happens down there? I mean, they've had. We. The United States has had so much military buildup, so this isn't going to be for nothing. Right? I mean, you know, they've got an act, I would think, or what's happening? What do you think? What do you think is going to go down? Well, it certainly had a positive impact on the, what I would say a small portion of the supply chain, meaning the boats that are leaving Venezuela to attempt to make it to the United States with drugs on board. We've seen that come down, as Secretary Headset said the other day in the cabinet meeting, 91%. I mean, that is a significant drop, but it only represents, as I said, a small portion of the problem. Ultimately, if you're going to go after the cartels as terrorist organizations and as we've done with other terrorist groups, then you're going to have to hit targets on land. That includes leadership, that includes production and distribution centers, that includes weapons storage, etc. And it also expands, as the President was saying, well beyond Venezuela. You're now bringing Colombia into the mix, you're bringing the Northern Triangle into the mix, and you're also bringing in Mexico. Let's not forget that the cartels are the fourth largest employer in the country of Mexico. That's how significant the problem is.
- [30:34]
Dr. Gina
Yeah, I would be surprised if it were honestly fourth. I mean, just living there on the border, I heard so much all the time about how the cartels just disowned the government completely.
- [30:47]
And they were drastically, drastically enriched during the Biden administration. Charles, talk to us about that. They made a lot of money. The cartels around the world were so deeply enriched during the Biden administration, it was almost as if it was intentional to enrich them.
- [31:08]
David Brody
Well, they've never been as powerful as they are today, both financially and operationally. Some of that is part of the failed strategies of Mexico, and a big part of that were the policies under the Biden administration, as you rightfully point out. Look, anytime the cartels can grow their business because of the policies of the United States, they're going to take full advantage of that, and not just at the southern border. They're going to make a lot of money through human trafficking, weapons trafficking, drug trafficking and other enterprises. And most of that, by the way, are cash transactions. They're not hitting the financial institutions either in the US or any other part of the world. So it's very hard to detect. These are usually large cash seizures by law enforcement when and if they happen. But you're right. From an institutional standpoint, Mexico is compromised. They're either compromised through corruption, they're compromised through fear and intimidation. And Basically, they're not going to take actions against the cartels. We've got a really big problem with Mexico. One they don't want our help. There's too much national pride down there, and we're going to have to end up taking some unilateral action at some point in time. The problem is still prevalent down there. Charles, let me ask you a little bit about that second strike on that drug boat. You know, Hegseth has been kind of in the crosshairs, if you will, and now we know about the Navy admiral who gave the strike. So how do you see this exactly? Because the latest information, and this is coming from ABC News, shockingly, is that actually those two survivors in the second strike, they were climbing back onto the boat, according to ABC News. And so they were alive and they literally were trying to to salvage the drugs off the boat. And they were in contact with others, apparently in terms of trying to continue on with the mission. So, I mean, that changes everything here. And that's coming from ABC News. Well, this is where some members on the left in Congress attempt to rewrite the rules of the game.

They were not present when Barack Obama was deporting a record 13 million over two terms in office. They weren't all over him when he was deputizing state and local law enforcement to help enforce immigration laws or when he was securing the border or when he was building cages and CBP places. And they certainly weren't all over the Obama administration when he was conducting drone strikes all around the world, including an unprecedented drone strike against a US Citizen, if you recall, who had joined Al Qaeda and then isis. So, you know, there's precedent for this. But because it's President Trump making these decisions, they're going to be all over them and try and change the rules of the game. We're either going to hit these groups as terrorists or we're not. And if we're going to go after the Trump administration for hitting this terrorist target more than one time, then we're going to have to pull the tape from all previous administrations, because I'm pretty sure we've all seen some videos released by previous administrations and DoD where you hear the language, hit it again. Hit it again. Because there's still movement of suspected terrorists, whether it's in and around a truck or whether it's in and around a building. So if we're going to open up this can of worms, then let's do it evenly. Let's start with the Obama administration and work our way to the present. Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, Democrats, if you're a narco terrorist, you should join the Democrat party. They support you. If you're an illegal, violent criminal, they support you. They are the party for you. Charles, thanks for being here. We appreciate you. All right, good to see both. Thank you. All right, coming up, head injuries can be quite serious, and getting treated quickly can lessen the risk of more severe injury. So up next, we're going to have some tools that you need to keep you and your family safe from. Back in a moment.

Chi Town right there. I love Lakeshore Drive. In the summertime, they'll put palm trees up on their beach. I just think that's so enthusiastic. See I wanted to say something nice about the city of Chicago, not talk about the crime. That's what I can think of. I used to love to shop in there.

David Brody
All right.

Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for joining us today. It is time now for our health news. It is sponsored by the Wellness Company and under the microscope today, the importance of treating head injuries very quickly. A new study finds that getting prompt attention after a concussion within the first week can reduce your risk of ultimately developing Alzheimer's disease dementia by up to 41%. More than 2.8 million Americans suffer serious head injuries every single year, whether it's a car crash, a sporting accident, other sorts of accidents. Researchers say early neuro rehabilitation, including physical, occupational, cognitive and speech therapies can help the brain reconnect and recover and keep those pathways so that they don't get corrupted. So that's real important. So if you know someone who has a head injury, just make sure they get to medical help as soon as possible to reduce the chances of long term and enduring injury from that head injury. A new administration in Washington, D.C. has brought a lot of positive changes when it comes to fixing our broken health care system. The reality, though, there's only so much the government can do. And if you really want to make America healthy again, it's going to have to start at home with each of us. And that's where the Wellness Company comes in.

Use the promo code RAVRAV to save you your 10%. David Brody, I tried this Therablue stuff yesterday because what'll happen is my neck will tints up. I get migraines almost every single day and I take medicine to keep them from coming. And so I tried this therablue on the sore parts of my neck yesterday. Okay. I'm just saying I didn't get a migraine. Now, this is anecdotal. It's one time, but it did keep those muscles from being as tight as they usually get. And I did not get a migraine yesterday. And I had an extremely stressful day yesterday. So that's kind of amazing that I didn't get a migraine, because usually on a day that's stressful and sleep deprived, all the things I usually, I'm a sitting down, stormy weather, all those things were happening yesterday. Did not get a migraine. So I'm just saying I'm going to keep playing with this. We'll see how it goes, and I'll let you know.
- [40:57]
David Brody
Well, yeah, you say it's anecdotal, but that is the area many times, right. With migraines, it's right in that area. So. Okay, well, good. Keep us updated. I'll check back with you.
- [41:08]
All right, now, over to Costco. They are super suing the Trump administration over the increased tariffs. Who isn't suing the Trump administration nowadays? Costco is joining other companies such as Revlon and Bumblebee Foods in these efforts. Costco says it wants a refund on the tariffs they pay to ensure its right to a refund is not jeopardized. Whatever. The Supreme Court is currently weighing the legality of those tariffs. For more, let's bring in constitutional attorney and author of the new books Stewards of the A Legal Guide for Ministry. Oh, and also Stewards of the A Legal Guide for Kingdom Business. That would be Chrisann Hall. Chrisann, great to have you here. Hey, we're gonna get to the books in just a moment. Some legal stuff. I'm so excited.
- [41:56]
Dr. Gina
Gosh, I love having Chrisann Hall.
- [41:58]
David Brody
Gina. Can't even wait. Should we just talk about the books now? Go. Let's do that.
- [42:02]
Dr. Gina
I am so excited about these books. Chrisann, can we.
- [42:05]
David Brody
David? Yes, please. Gina. What would you like to ask Chrisann hall about these books?
- [42:09]
Dr. Gina
Well, honestly, these books are so needed. I mean, Krisann, I can never wait to get you on the show because I have so many questions for you, because you are one of the only attorneys out there who actually really answers questions not in legalese. You answer them in plain spoken, down to earth, real people lingo. And I know that your books did that, too. So I'm super excited about this, and I'm so thrilled that you're doing it almost in a series format so that we know that the truth is coming to us.
- [42:41]
David Brody
Yeah. So I have been practicing with Christians and churches for over two decades now. And I am really frustrated at the fact that culturally we shun people away from seeking legal advice, especially in the church. I literally get responses from pastors that, oh, we can't have a lawyer because that's an indication that we don't have faith that God can take care of us. And what it's really doing is crippling the churches, making them potential and highly vulnerable victims to lawsuits. And even Christian business owners are being thrust into legal situations that they could.
- [43:28]
Dr. Gina
Avoid if they just sought legal counsel.
- [43:32]
David Brody
So I have two goals. First, I have a nonprofit law firm.
- [43:38]
Dr. Gina
Liberty First Legal, in which we do.
- [43:41]
David Brody
More than just First Amendment law. We do law that brings real legal advice at an affordable level on a sliding scale to churches and Christian business owners that need it. We are actually impoverishing ourselves when we don't seek legal counsel and setting up our businesses for failure. One thing I realized as a corporate attorney, there is not a single billion dollar business out there that does not work without that. That does work without a lawyer. Right. So everything they do, every negotiation, there's a lawyer sitting next to them. It's time for our small business owners to be prepared and to be protected like that. And I believe that these books will help protect all Kingdom assets. Not just the ones in the churches, but the ones the Christian business owners can earn to feed back into the Kingdom. Boy, talk about meeting a need. I mean, that's huge. I do want to ask you a legal question on the Supreme Court and tariffs, but real quick, how can people get more information about the book? Where do they go? I'm assuming Amazon, but other places, I mean, where do they go? Right now it's available on Amazon and it's also available. Both of it books are available on Amazon and both are available in Kindle. So if you like reading online, then there's the Kindle version for you as well. Just phenomenal. Real quick. Sadly, we have about 30 seconds, so good luck trying to do this question in 30 seconds. The legality, yeah, the legality of the tariffs issue in front of the Supreme Court. How do you, how you do, how do you see it?
- [45:21]
Dr. Gina
Well, this is really going to be.
- [45:23]
David Brody
A huge case, probably one of the biggest of our generations, because the Supreme Court is going to look at number one, what are the autonomous emergency powers of the President and what are the powers of Congress to delegate power to the executive branch? That is not delegated by the Constitution. The Constitution establishes that any tariffs have to come by Congress. And the only way the president has the autonomous authority to do that is through emergency powers established by law by Congress. So both branches will be under the microscope for the Supreme Court. And if the Supreme Court sides with the businesses, that could be a very big expense and a very big limit on emergency powers in general. If they side with the emergency powers, this could be one of the biggest expansions beyond the Constitution that we've seen from the, from the Supreme Court. Yeah. So, so just so I'm clear, so if they think the tariffs are attacks, that's, that's game, set, match for the Trump administration, They're in trouble. Yes, they, because tariffs must be approved by the Senate in the form of a treaty. If they are not recognized as a form of a treaty, then Senate cannot alone approve them. They must come through the House and through the Senate. Got it.
- [46:49]
Dr. Gina
Oh, Christian, I want to ask you if the president has the ability to eliminate the income tax like he's talking about. I have so many questions for you. We have to have you back really, really soon.
- [46:57]
David Brody
Yes.
- [46:57]
Dr. Gina
Notes.
- [46:58]
David Brody
That's a great answer for that question, by the way. Oh, gosh, don't tease us. Oh, great. Let's keep Chrisanne the next hour and a half.
- [47:06]
Dr. Gina
Let's just have her back really soon. Chrisanne, thank you so much. Best of luck with those books. You don't even need it, honestly. It's just, it's a gift. Those are a gift to the American public. Thank you so much. All right, coming up, mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, Melvin Carter speaking out regarding the incredible billion dollar fraud case tied to the Somali community there. How is he deflecting? We have those comments next on American Sunrise.

Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American Sunrise. Someone in the chat just said they're trying to get rid of nicotine everywhere. And I hadn't heard that. So you're going to have to tell me why that's happening. Sorry. Following along with that chat. I love it so much. All right. Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's hard to. It's time to rather. It is hard some days to stay awake. Not woke. Who is woke today, you might wonder. Well, that would be St. Paul's leader running over from a mess in his own backyard. St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter slammed federal agents as destabilizing. Right. As Minnesota faces a massive. The crime's not destabilizing, right? Yeah. They face a massive billion dollar social service fraud scandal tied to the Somali community there. This is the very same community WOKE policies claim to protect. Here we go. Listen to this.
- [50:22]
David Brody
And by the way, those fraud allegations were uncovered by local law enforcement. And our state, our state attorney general pressed charges. Our state action, our state law enforcement presence is what caught. That is what held those folks accountable. So it's another example that we actually don't need. Those federal agents are not adding value in our community. They're actually doing quite the opposite by providing a destabilizing force.
- [50:48]
Dr. Gina
So then local authorities, not the mayor, uncovered the fraud, which was first reported by John Solomon, our own John Solomon and our team here at Just the News. When pressed on the oversight, the mayor deflected the bottom line. WOKE leaders created this crisis. Then they blamed the people who were trying to fix it. Well, there's a lot of votes. There are a lot of votes from that Somali community there. And that might be the impetus for all of this. We want to know what you think. Let us know on getter or rumble. Hop on and let your voice be heard. And you know, I read it because half the time we come back in and I still have my readers on reading what you've said. All right, coming up in our moment of faith, prayer warriors lifting up Christians in Nigeria who desperately need our help. Right back with that story. More American Sunrise coming at you right after this.

God bless the USA.

In the beginning, go created the heaven and the earth.
- [53:39]
Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's now time for our moment of faith brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible in focus today. Across Washington. All week long, Christian persecution in Nigeria is taking center stage. A congressional roundtable heard testimony about churches that have been destroyed, families displaced, and communities living under constant threat. Faith leaders and lawmakers say that this is a crucial moment to protect the innocent and to defend the freedom to worship. For discussion, let's welcome in evangelist and pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth. He's the founder of Revival today, by the way, he also just returned from Nigeria. Pastor, always good to see you. Hey, great to see you, Terrence. So tell me about your experience there in Nigeria. Excuse me, Specifically related to the persecution of Christians in that country.
- [54:34]
Well, I was like, if the persecution's taken place in the main part of Nigeria, I was like in Florida or Texas, I was in the south, so it's not as bad there. But to hear people say there's no Christian genocide. And there's no problem with that. I would love to fly any of those politicians to northern Nigeria and have them talk to the families where. It's into the thousands now. Whole schools abducted, entire Catholic schools abducted and killed or forced brides. It's a real thing for sure.
- [55:08]
It's interesting to me that this sort of thing is happening in Nigeria and obviously Nigeria is just one of many countries, dozens in Africa. But it is said that Africa is one of the growing places or one of the places. The continent itself is one of the places where Christianity itself is growing the fastest. There's an explosion of Christianity despite what we see happening in Nigeria and quite honestly other places. Oh, it's not even a question. I mean there's three churches that will be built and ready next year that seat over 100,000 people in Nigeria. That'll be the three largest indoor auditoriums in the world. Christianity is exploding in Africa, but Northern Africa is Islamic and radical Islamic and, and then that's why the north of Nigeria is having a problem. They, they're trying to move their way down in, into the south but they're not having success. Just like with America. Islam is a land conquest.
- [56:06]
Organization disguised as a religion. And they, they want to unseed Christianity from nations but Nigeria's repelling it and America is repelling it. You know it's interesting that you say, you describe Islam as a land conquest religion if you will. Whereas it seems to me that what we're seeing in Nigeria and across Africa is that is that Christianity is conquering hearts, that it's bringing people into the fold, not property.
- [56:38]
That that's how it goes. You remember in the Bible that one town rejected Jesus and his disciples said let's call fire down on them. And Jesus said, I know not what spirit you're of. Like we don't do that. Christianities love your enemies. The Quran teaches you to strike your enemies. And that's the difference. And I'm glad if Christianity is strong in a nation, Islam can't move in Canada. Christianity got weak Europe, Christianity got weak uk. But this revival we're having in America is making sure that that end game of radical Islam is not going to be able to set up shop in the United States. That's why this revival that's going on that you guys cover on real America's voice is so crucial, it'll save a nation. Hey Jonathan, before I let you go, give us some practical steps on how we can support our brothers and sisters around the world, our Christian brothers and Sisters around the world. Obviously, the focus is Nigeria, but some of these same issues are happening elsewhere, even in the Far East. China, for instance. I would say that, that we have a president that's interested in helping, and you have political groups that are interested in defending Islam and saying that that's not happening. The kidnappings take place for everybody. Don't believe mainstream media lies. You know, support when the president says he's going to help them back him. And don't let the mainstream media pull you out of support of Christianity.
- [58:03]
All right, Jonathan Shuttlesworth, always good to talk to you, my friend. I appreciate the conversation and glad you got back safely. Love you, Terrence. Have a great day. All right, you as well. And folks, be sure to tune into revival today, this Sunday morning. It starts at 9:00am right here on RAV. We're back with the second hour of American Sunrise after this.
- [58:29]
Breaking news from Real America's Voice.
- [58:34]
Dr. Gina
All right, there's some breaking news. This is good news for those who've been waiting for this. Police have arrested a suspect in the D.C. pipe bomb case after a five year investigation. This is of course, from the whole JC incident. And this suspect allegedly planted pipe bombs just blocks from the U.S. capitol. Of course, on January 5, 2021. Now in federal custody again after a five year investigation. Details are unfolding. We will let you know more and appreciate the heads up in our chat from our own RAV Mod, who told us about it, our moderator there in the RAV chat. Glad to have you guys back for our second hour of American Sunrise. Do we have some co hosts happening for us here? There they are. Look at those handsome gentlemen. No, I know. This is. This is good news. You know, we need a lot more information on everything that happened on January 6th. We need to dispel all of the lies and all of the propaganda that was put out there during the last administration. And this is a good step in that. To that end, David Brody, what is your suspicion on this pipe bomb? Planter?
- [59:45]
David Brody
Well, a couple of things. First of all, I want to hear from Donna Fiducia. You know, I know.
- [59:48]
Dr. Gina
That's when we need her.
- [59:51]
David Brody
Yeah, I feel like a doctor. Let's get Donna Fadush on the line, stat.
- [59:54]
Dr. Gina
Yeah, exactly.
- [59:55]
David Brody
But, yeah, no, there's just a lot what I'm seeing here is that he's from Virginia. Apparently he's a Virginia man, not a Maryland man, by the way. Democrats. But that's. I'm sorry, did I digress there for a second? And sources are saying the suspect was identified years ago, but then there was a fresh review of documents that led to the arrest today. So that's interesting to me.
- [60:18]
Dr. Gina
So identified years ago, Terrence, but nothing done under the last administration.
- [60:23]
David Brody
Right. And now we obviously are getting more information and at least there's charges, at least in this case. Again, we'll continue to monitor all of this for you guys throughout the day as we get new information. This is still a developing story, but we'll be keeping an eye on it and have reports for you throughout the day here on rav. In the meantime, let's get a quick check of your forecast now with Weather Nation meteorologist Adrian Hernandez. He is joining us with the very latest and more on what you can expect. Plus, he's got your hometown forecast, one of our favorite parts of the show. Adrian, good morning. Good morning, Terrence. Yeah, we got a few hometown forecasts, actually, two, to be specific. The first one's actually going to be from southern Alabama. This is Ellen McGrath, 60. And I went ahead and put Mobile, Alabama, because it doesn't get more southern Alabama than Mobile, Alabama. And you have real good chances for rainfall today into Friday and Saturday. But things will really start to clear out as you get into your weekend. You're going to dip down into the 50s again going into Monday, Tuesday. And these overnight lows might even get down into the 30s as we start to head towards Tuesday. Now, Terence, this one's for you. This is from the control room guy, Colin Christie. This is a West Palm beach forecast to kind of flex how nice it's been down south here in West Palm Beach. However, going into next week, we might have a decent chance of seeing some showers Sunday. Going into starting on Monday, temperatures are going to dip down actually into the low 70s. Nice and comfortable for us down here, Terence. So looking at some of these top weather headlines, we still got north, we've still got snow all the way up in the north. A little bit further out west, we got an active system getting a lot of rainfall and snowfall up towards the northern Rockies. And then down south we have this Gulf coast soaker that's actually one of the main reasons why Mobile, Alabama, is getting a whole lot of rainfall into today and tomorrow and Monday. So it's kind of an overview of what's been going on over the last three hours. We see a lot of this moisture still staying down south. If you're in places like Oklahoma, you might be catching some snowfall earlier on this morning as this funnel boundary continues to push off towards the east, even giving some spots across the Northeast a better chance of seeing some snowfall as we track the system. It'll likely be all throughout the day today and into tomorrow and as we get into Friday, Saturday. Now we're talking low loads of snow further up north and across the Southern Plains out towards the Ohio River Valley. As you guys can see, some of these accumulation numbers are going to be anywhere from really a foot to even some spots picking up even two feet of snow. And if you're in down south places like Mobile, you're going to be picking up lots of rainfall and snowing out in the Northeast. If you're on the Front Range, though, especially by Terrance, you're going to be dealing with some snowfall up towards the Rockies. But at least for the next several days, I don't really expect you're going to get too much snowfall on the ground. So, Terrence, if you haven't already started shoveling out your driveway, you might have a good shot at not seeing too much snowfall going into the next few days. All right. I started shoveling yesterday and by the time I was done, it was all covered again. So I'll take your word and I'll actually shovel once and for all now. Yeah, you just kind of have to laugh. You're just like, really? Really. Anyway, Adrian, always good to see you, my friend. I appreciate it. Likewise, Terrence. See ya. All right. We'll talk soon. And once again, there at the bottom of your screen, folks, you see that QR code, go ahead and scan it and join our team over at Weather Nation. You'll get all the forecasts and every kind of weather information you could ever think of and need. You'll have it right at your fingertips. All right. Let's get you back over to David Brody now. David, good morning. Good morning. T. Bates. All right, some other news and important news. Small businesses across the country face a mountain of red tape from government agencies and it's had devastating effects. Now this comes as mom and pop businesses continue to struggle. Just this year, Al, look at this. More than 2200 people or small firms, either one, they filed bankruptcy claims under so called subchapter five rules. Now these cases increased more than 8% compared to the same period last year. Chapter 11 petitions are up as well to over 6,000. But some of that red tape may soon be history thanks to the House passage this week of HR 2965. That's called the Small Business Reduction Act 2025. Joining us now with the details is Texas Congresswoman and the author of the bill, Beth Van Dyne. Congresswoman, thanks for being here. And thanks for putting this bill not just in the House floor, on the House floor, but it got passed. So tell us more about it, what you hope it will accomplish, and can the Senate do their freaking job and get it passed? Good morning. You know, I hope so. I hope so. We. I have been on the Small Business Committee now for five years, and this is the third Congress that I've introduced this bill, which basically, before Doge was a thing, this was a Doge effort. This is trying to codify Trump's original effort for the. Every. Every regulation you add, you got to take away two. This looks at identifying the cost of regulations so they. So make those small Business association actually have to represent the small businesses, identify the costs that are going to affect them, and make it budget negative or budget neutral, meaning you just can't keep layering upon layer regulations on small businesses. So this would make the agencies actually have to be very disciplined. So far, if they're going to add a regulation, they're going to have to get rid of regulations, duplic, duplicative regulations, regulations that are outdated, regulations that no longer actually reflect the intent of the law. Because after years of listening to these businesses that have come before our Small Business Committee, they have also told us, you gotta decrease our taxes and you gotta decrease our regulatory Burden. Over the four years of the Biden administration, they added an additional $1.8 trillion of additional regulations. It's not sustainable, and we gotta make sure that our businesses can hire, invest and grow our economy.
- [65:55]
Since we're talking about sustainability, there are a lot of people who would argue that Obamacare just isn't sustainable right now. And so it seems to me that one of the next big. Yeah, I got your attention. Right. One of the next big fights that Congress is going to be dealing with has to do with health care. Yesterday, in fact, we got a bit of a preview of a second GOP mega bill that's focused on health care, a sort of sequel, if you will, to President Trump's one big beautiful bill that would ultimately include a number of reforms on the health care system. What more can you tell us about this effort? And what specifically would you like to see in. In any sort of health care reform bill? Well, I think what we have to originally identify is the fact that the Affordable Care act, the Unaffordable Care act, has been a complete and utter disaster, and that continuing to add money into it is going to be a horrific thing for the American people. And just yesterday, they discovered, as a result of Chairman Smith Chairman Guthrie and Chairman Jordan of an investigation that the GAO did on Obamacare. And they found out that they did an undercover investigation to find out how much fraud is in that. In that program. They found out almost 100% of all of these fraudulent Social Security numbers that the GAO put in its investigation were accepted. So they show that tens of billions of dollars of money has been given to people with deceptive Social Security numbers. By the way, some of them were like over 100. The same Social Security number were used in getting paid benefits, people who had died and people who are in our country illegally. This program is an utter failure. It has cost literally billions of dollars. We cannot continue to add money to it. And who hasn't benefited? Health insurance companies. So whatever fix that we're going to have on healthcare, we have got to make sure that these healthcare companies that are just experiencing record profits, 230% in some cases, actually are being held accountable. If you are receiving federal dollars, you've got to do the job that we are paying you to do. And people who are getting a third of their claims denied, who are paying double and sometimes in their premium costs, we are not servicing the American people. So we've got to get rid of the fraud. We've got to get rid of folks who are on our system illegally, including illegal immigrants, and we've got to start working for the American people. I think Republicans understand that that's the focus and that we are in active negotiations right now to be able to.
- [68:24]
Dr. Gina
Bring forward those solutions and gotta demand that the hospitals are accountable for transparency and the insurance companies that price transparency is such an important component. But, Congresswoman, I mean, I'm dumbfounded when you say there were hundreds of people using the same Social Security number.
- [68:41]
David Brody
No, the same Social Security number being used hundreds of times.
- [68:45]
Dr. Gina
Sorry, that's what I meant to say.
- [68:48]
But that means there's been zero oversight. Because this doesn't take a mathematical genius to look at the same Social Security number being used over and over again. This isn't even a deep kind of fraud investigation. This is like really basic stuff. Like a third grader could do it.
- [69:08]
David Brody
No, you're absolutely right. And people. We have a number of people who have actually, before they even received benefits, they were dead. So you have people who are using Social Security numbers of people who have died who are getting these benefits, or, by the way, are still getting these benefits. If it was not for this investigation that.
- [69:28]
Congress has requested, it would never have been uncovered. This is something that we have been acknowledgeable of, but have never been able to prove it. So I think, you know, you have been able to prove that this has been an utter failure. But Democrats have got to admit it and stop doubling down and insisting that this, you know, hallmark of the Obama administration has worked. It's increased cost beyond most people being able to even be able to afford health insurance. And we've got to understand that if you have health insurance, it doesn't mean you have health care. It means you are paying out the nose to health insurance companies that are still denying your claims, still cutting you off from your doctors and still preventing you from being able to afford care. So if we're interested in helping these populations that need it the most, that's where we need to focus. Not on people's private health insurances. Let them have more money in their HSAs before it actually gets taxed to make their own decision and stop this government. One size fits all, because it doesn't. Congresswoman, let me ask you a political question about the midterms coming up. I mean, how many times are we going to hear from the liberal media in the Democratic Democrats, the sky's falling, the sky's falling for Republicans, that it's over. And I'm curious to get your take on that. I know there's been a lot of resignations so far. There'll be more to come and they're outpacing Democrats. But I'm curious to get your take on what you think these midterms will be about and how the Republicans might fare. Because the last time I checked, Q1 and Q2 are coming up next year, and that's when we are expected to see some economic progress, even more so than we've seen in the first 10 months. So I'm curious to see or curious to get your reaction as to what the landscape might look like come, let's say, July or August of next year. I think people are going to are going to vote based on what they see happening in their paychecks in their communities. So if, you know, we have done this administration, and I know there was a Republican Congress has done a great job in securing our borders and rooting out criminal illegal aliens in our communities, that's going to be important. But they also are looking at the economy. The fact that you have seen mortgage rates decrease, that you've seen rent for the last four months decrease, you've got some of the lowest energy costs that we've seen, those things matter to people. Decreasing costs at the grocery stores, those matter. But the other thing that we've got to be focused on is making sure that Americans are getting high paid American jobs, which stop the corruption in the system that so far has benefited under the Biden administration. A ton of foreign workers getting these jobs. You look at the job numbers that have just come out from the last quarter, over 100,000 were added, but those were in the private sector and those are for American born workers. So stopping programs that are completely corrupt, like the H1B visa program that has really been taken advantage of. Focus on making sure businesses are hiring American workers. Make sure that universities are actually educating and graduating students that have the skill sets of businesses that are hiring and it can be marketable skill sets. Those are the things that we need to focus on. So if you've got American people that are making more money because you're going to have higher wages, which we've seen in the last three months, that is what they're going to vote on. That one big beautiful bill that we passed. That's exactly what it's meant to do. You look at the trade policies that this administration is finalizing. Those are all meant to be able to help American businesses, American workers and working families. Congresswoman, always a pleasure to have you. Thanks so much for bringing so much stuff.
- [72:55]
Dr. Gina
Thanks.
- [72:56]
David Brody
Thank you. Have a great weekend. A lot to unpack, after which great analysis. Analysis? Like she's a political analyst? No, she's a congresswoman. All right, coming up, what should you do when your own property is stolen right from under you? Not just a house, but perhaps your own business? We're going to have answers when we come back on American Sunrise. Two minutes, everybody.
- [73:34]
Chicago. I've never seen the palm trees. Gina mentioned the palm trees on Lakeshore Drive. Yeah, I gotta check that out. I. I've been to Chicago, though, in the summer, and my goodness, I just absolutely love it. Oh, the architecture there. Oh, the river. Oh, the lake. Welcome back, everybody. Welcome, everybody, to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody. All right, so look. In West Dallas, a pastor's family legacy was stolen. And it wasn't through fire or foreclosure. It was through fraud. Pastor Cory Maxey lost his family's church after another pastor illegally transferred the deed and moved his own congregation into the building. Fraudster Whitney Foster claimed ownership while Maxey's church was undergoing renovation. After years of legal frustration, Foster was convicted in 2022 of stealing three churches, stealing churches, including Maxey's, and he was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Now lawmakers have moved to prevent others from suffering the same fate. Passing a New law making real property theft a crime. So for more, let's bring in former FBI agent and licensed private investigator Tom Simon. Tom, good morning to you. You know what? I want to ask you a little bit before we get to you, Tom. Are we going to go to Tom? We have Tom. Yes. Yeah. All right, so we just outlined Pastor Cory Maxey's ordeal, losing his family's church to a fraudulent deed transfer. So what's going on here? Are churches and other properties just as vulnerable to fraud as, like, a family home? Good morning. Good morning. Thank you for having me on. I would say any plot of real estate out there is vulnerable from someone stealing the title to that and going out and trying to either occupy it themselves less in the case of this chur. But most often what people do is when they steal your home or any plot of real estate, they then go out and try to get loans against it, and they're not going to pay those loans back. And you won't even know this occurred until the foreclosure notices start piling up in your mailbox. Yeah. Also, I was wondering how Whitney Foster was able to pull this off. Exactly. And by the way, before you answer that question, what you're seeing over here is Mike Johnson swearing in Matt Van Epps. Can we listen in real quick? Quick. Can we. Can we do that? Do we have audio? Let's listen in.
- [75:49]
Wonderful.
- [75:56]
Josh. Hey, josh.
- [76:04]
Everybody, right here.
- [76:09]
Dr. Gina
Good.
- [76:16]
David Brody
Thank you for asking.
- [76:41]
All right, that's. You're looking at Matt Van Epps. He's the new congressman sworn in after that December special election just this week in Tennessee. So there you go. Congress has one more Republican, which Mike Johnson's very happy about. Tom, let's get back to what we were talking about regarding Whitney Foster. How is he able to pull this off? My goodness. What. What the bad guys end up doing is they file what they call as a quit claim deed with the recorder of deeds in the county office. What the people didn't realize is that the county offices, the county clerk's offices, no one's really watching the store. By statute, their job is not to. To verify the authenticity of these deeds that come in. Their job is just to record them, which is why this new Texas law is so important. It gives the county clerks a little more power in their ability to kind of take a look at this document and question the authenticity. Yeah. So how can people protect themselves, help us through some of that? I think the key is monitoring everyone out there who owns a home. Probably your largest asset is the equity in your home. I know it is for me. And it's so important to monitor that. The problem is that you're going to drive yourself crazy checking the county clerk's website to see if any deeds or liens have been filed on your home, which is why I endorse a product called Home Title Lock to do it for you. Yeah. And give us the information we got to run. But tell us where people can get more information because they need to know about this, Tom. Sure. If you go to hometitleock.com you can learn about their triple lock home protection, and that's going to actually restore the home back into your name if someone should steal your home from you. Tom, thanks for being here and pardon the interruption, as we like to say. But thanks. Thanks so much for rolling. Thanks for having me on. Yeah. All right. Good stuff for everybody. For more information, go to Home Title lockdown to get your title history report. Really important. Plus, 14 days of protection free. Once again, hometitle lock.com all right, coming up, we're heading down to Wall street for the opening bell, and we'll look at why you should never follow those geniuses at Harvard for investment advice. Back with Jake Novak in two minutes, everybody.
- [79:00]
Can I just say on a personal note, this is one of my. If I have to rank the bump music on our show, and I love all the bump music, this has got to be my top three. I like it. All right, welcome back, everybody. Welcome, everybody, to the show. The bell at the New York Stock Exchange is going to ring in just a few minutes. Let's take a quick look at the future. Ooh, the crystal ball. I mean, the futures. Sorry. All right. We got mostly green there. I got to put on my reading glasses is what happens when you get older. Silver down. Okay. Everything else is pretty much up. We'll look at that in a second. But now it's time for our daily dose of dollars and common sense. So let's bring in American Sunrise Early Edition host, the guy behind Jake's takes substack. That is really hard to say if you think about it. But then again, I'm a linguistic type of guy, so I can pull it off. Jake, President Trump. How about that big announcement yesterday? He is negating those tough fuel economy standards imposed on automakers by the Biden regime. Now, you say the Greenies shouldn't despair, even though you know they will. They're probably tearing up their AOC posters as we speak. Yeah. I mean, they're like, oh, my God, it's gonna. They're gonna cause much more pollution. Listen folks, the free market has already made fuel efficiency a reality. We don't need the government imposing crazy standards that the car companies can't meet without charging us big time money. And by the way, David, making cars a little bit too light and dangerous so that when we have accidents, when we're on our phones and not paying attention to the road, you know, we get more than a fender bender, those kinds of things. These things are happening naturally. Fuel efficiency has been improving year after year just on its own. We're a lot more fuel efficient than we were before. So I mean, these people go and running around crazy like this, you know, you know they're going to say he's just going to allow for people to pollute. Actually that's not going to happen. And in fact, this actually is going to make it cleaner because with more expensive cars, David, that people are going to be forced to buy under the Biden regime. Under that Biden rule, people were keeping their older cars longer. The ones that weren't as fuel efficient. Get it? In other words, let the free market fix this. And they have been for many decades. And just so I understand, the cars would be then be maybe $900 to $1,000, possibly cheaper based on the fact that, you know, these standards are kind of lowered, if you will, and therefore the equipment to make these cars won't cost as much. Yeah, I mean, look, you know it's right. I mean, we always hear this, whether it's for solar power or for wind. They always say like, well, it's going to be more expensive, but it's worth it. And the people who say that are the ones who have all that money to burn. The average American, I mean the average market, the Ms. MSRP now for a car truck in this country is over $50,000. Now it'd be nice to get a $1,000 break off of that, at least on average. Which means in some cars it'll be a lot less, a lot more than that you'll get. So yeah, I mean, this is making us. Making the people who can't afford to pay more for your green energy fantasies is really cruel. Yeah. All right. Well, Jake, I know you enjoy every opportunity to rub it in the faces of those dummies at Harvard and you just got a golden opportunity to do just that. So please go for it. I can't wait to hear. Yeah. You know, Harvard isn't just stupid by admitting students who want to burn down the campus and beat up half of the other students, students they have an investment fund. You know, the Harvard endowment is apparently very prestigious to be. They are not a good investment fund. They have so much money coming in, they get to cover up a lot of their mistakes. Boy, did they make a whopper. Earlier this year, David, they invested heavily, heavily, heavily in bitcoin. Just before. I mean, really, just days before the bottom fell out and they lost 34% of value. Now, look, I actually happen to be a proponent of bitcoin. I don't think it's a worthless asset. Don't get me wrong, but you got to laugh at the timing of these guys. They bought it at the absolute high. It's going to take them a long time to recover that money back for the endowment fund. Can we please stop having these Colleges have hedge funds, basically, with a campus and in some cases a football team. It's just incredibly stupid. They are not smart. They're investing for political reasons. They're not trying to really make a buck. Where I think they would make smarter decisions. Bitcoin hitting 125 was not the time to go all in with half a billion dollars in bitcoin if you're Harvard. And that's exactly what they did, because they're thinking about things other than actually making a buck. Yeah. I'm really sad for Harvard. I mean. I know. No, it's so sad, isn't it, Jake? All right, well, I guess we have to run. We're pretty much out of time. But I want to thank you, Jake, from the bottom of my heart for being here. Literally, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, sir. My pleasure. Have a great day. All right, let's take a look at the opening bell now at the New York Stock Exchange. And guess what? It's 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. All right, well, we're about to hit the opening bell here. In just mere moments, we're gonna have some NAT sound to play for you, which means we're gonna hear the bell itself. Let's go. That wonderful shot here. I guess we're about to go to it, but then we'll take a look at not just the futures, but the present. And we hope to see a positive green day on the stock exchange here. And there's just a lot of men in suits clapping. I'm sorry, there is two females. My bad. Hey. Shockingly, men in suits on Wall Street. You Never see it, but you're seeing it today. And I'm being a bit sarcastic. Oh, there it is. That's called an ad lib before the opening bell.
- [84:47]
That's fantastic. All right, we're off and running. So let's get to the big board here. I feel like the Jerry Lewis telethon. And once again, most of it in the green Dow looking okay. S and P, Nasdaq, Everybody's everybody. Like these are people. Well, they do affect people. Everything up. Gold up as well oil. So. So good news, at least initially. We will keep you up to date.

Still to come on American Sunrise, President Trump says Americans may soon not even have income tax to pay. Really? Well, his biggest tax idea yet is coming and the questions it's raising in Washington. And we'll dissect it next.
- [87:42]
All right.
- [87:42]
Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for joining us this morning. We Invite you to hop in. Our conversation over on Getter and Rumble. It is time now to take the political pulse of America. Here's the beat today, a bold new promise from President Trump igniting a fresh firestorm.
- [88:00]
On the Capitol Hill. The President says that Americans may soon not even have income tax floating the most sweeping tax overhaul in more than a century. Sure sounds good to me. President Trump says his tariff driven revenue boom could fund the government and possibly even eliminate personal income tax altogether. But there's a problem. Economists, lawmakers, even some Republicans are asking, is this feasible and what would it mean for American families here was President Trump talking about it earlier, earlier this week.
- [88:33]
David Brody
So we're going to be making a dividend to the people and additionally we're going to be able to reduce debt. And as time goes by over the next two, three, four years, those numbers are going to go up. And I believe that at some point in the not too distant future, you won't even have income tax to pay because the money would take it in is so great, it's so enormous that you're not going to have income tax to pay whether you get rid of it or just keep it around for fun or have it really low, much lower than it is now, but you won't be paying income tax.
- [89:07]
Dr. Gina
Well, there isn't a red blooded American out there that doesn't love that idea. For more, let's bring in Rav chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn. Brian, the income tax has been public enemy number one for decades. But can President Trump make this happen?
- [89:26]
David Brody
Well, I asked President Trump that question actually a couple months ago when these tariffs were being in place. And he used to talk about how we didn't have the income tax. We relied on tariffs in the early days of this country to bring in enormous amounts of wealth. We had so much money, we didn't know what to do with it. Then all of a sudden we got rid of that. We implemented an income tax. Now is it possible? Yes. Does it take a legislative process to get that done? Yes. But here's kind of a side note. I was having a conversation with a colleague of mine and I said, well, there probably won't be a single Democrat that would vote for this. And they said, well, you know what, Brian, there probably would be several Republicans that wouldn't vote for this at all. But I say it's a great litmus test for the American people, who they need to vote for, who they send to Congress and the Senate that goes against maybe abolishing this income tax. But certainly Conversations that has come up in wake of this, historic tariffs of the revenue that's poured into this country. Let's get back to no income tax. Whether Trump has the right idea.
- [90:26]
Dr. Gina
That would be amazing, Brian.
- [90:27]
David Brody
That would be amazing.
- [90:28]
Dr. Gina
Do the numbers add up, though? Because I was listening to a couple of economists on this who are saying even with the best projections, the numbers don't add up. So I really want to get to the truth on this. And I know you'll do that.
- [90:45]
David Brody
Well, I think what we'd have to do is see first in terms of getting rid of the debt, I think the tariffs are really intended to kind of pay down the debt. So that would have to happen because obviously if we don't cut spending, we don't cut some of the expenses that we have, then quite honestly, to your point, this would not make sense. So it would require significant reductions in spending in order to make this happen. Happen. But it's certainly a great idea. I mean, my social media lit up in the last couple days since President Trump said that in that cabinet meeting. But it's, it's, it's popular by the people. So if it went to a vote. Dr. Gina. And we had to vote on it for the people, I think we're gonna vote, let's get rid of it, but we'll see if it actually happens. Yeah, wouldn't that be great? And that, that reminds me of, you know, changing the Constitution. Right. It's the amendment there in the Constitution. So we'll see about that. All right, Brian. The Trump administration indicated this week that it's going to start withholding SNAP benefits for Democrat led states that refused to share a lot of that data. A lot of it. Immigration data with the Department of Agriculture. Shocking that these blue states don't want to share immigration data. What a shock. So during the President's cabinet meeting on Tuesday, you had Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins saying that 29 GOP led states. States, well, they've already complied, they provided the data, but you got these big blue states like California, New York have not. So what do you think? I mean, do you think the administration expects these states to continue to resist sharing this data? I'm assuming they're not going to share it. And I know it's in the courts and everything. So how do you see this playing out? Yeah, Brian. Well, it's, it's a typical tug of war. What you have here, you have blue states that are just fighting anything the Trump administration does. And of course you have what Brooke Rollins is trying to do. And I Think this falls under kind of the doge of mindset of getting rid of the race to fraud and abuse in that system. So she said starting next week we're going to start withholding some of those funds. We'll see what states waiver then. I don't anticipate California just being the size of that state and some of the power and really the resistance that Gavin Newsom has had the entire time with this immigration. I don't see them folding first, but I do think that some of the smaller states will follow suit and give up that information because, you know, we have 42 million Americans rely on SNAP benefits is something that's wide. That's another conversation, David, why we have so many people relying on assistance. But nevertheless, this just goes in line with trying to find out the waste, fraud and abuse in that system and people that should not be responsible receiving benefits, we make sure they get off and the people rightfully that need benefits, they receive them. So we'll see what happens. Probably starting next week, David, we'll have an idea of what states comply. Hey, Brian, as I see the White House there behind you, I'm reminded that the presidents of Congo and Rwanda are set to arrive there here in the next few hours in order to sign this peace treaty. Of course, a huge win for those countries, but also a huge win for President Trump as he brokered those deals. Since this is a state visit, is there a different sort of feeling surrounding this state visit there at the White House given the context of it that this peace deal is supposed to be signed and obviously will hopefully set the stage for a long term peace?
- [93:56]
You know, it's really interesting. We've had several peace deals brokered here at the White House. We'll probably see here in a couple hours the color guard lineup behind us and they'll have kind of a presence representation of those countries when they make their way in to the West Wing here. But there is a sense of accomplishment. This is one of the things that President Trump has always said he wanted to be known as the, the man who brokered peace around the world, these record peace deals. He mentioned it in the cabinet meeting just the other day, said, look, I don't really care about getting a Nobel Peace Prize. It's nice, but it's not the reason behind it. He wants to save human lives from all these wars that are broken out around the world and corporations. The last one I think that would be really needs to be done is the Ukraine, Russia conflict, which you can argue they've gone back and forth like a ping pong match on who's really serious about stopping the war. Although last yesterday in the Oval Office, reporter asked President Trump is Putin serious about stopping the war? And he believes that he is. And so maybe we get a peace deal broker there. But coming up a little bit about two hours from now, we'll have the those two countries here at the White House for another historic peace treaty.
- [95:02]
Dr. Gina
Right. I want to turn to a Supreme Court case that can redefine the President's power over his own executive branch. Next Monday, the high court will hear oral arguments in Trump Fee Slaughter, which re examines whether or not the President has the absolute authority to remove executive branch officials. Now, this case comes in response to 47's firing of Rebecca Slaughter, the member of the Federal Trade Commission. That made news. Brian, what are you hearing is going to happen on this and what will it mean for President Trump going forward with such license?
- [95:36]
David Brody
Well, it's interesting if you look historically this year, President Trump has had about 20 Supreme Court victories in terms of things brought to the court. So based upon the premise of that he has the ability, ability to assign and basically, you know, eliminate someone's position. So I don't think this is going to go further. I think he will be victorious in this. He is granted the authority to do this. But this just falls in line of what we've seen the Democrats and really the kind of the anti Trumpers of the world try to do, tie everything up in court. Sue file for this, file for that. Whether or not they're litigiously correct or not, I anticipate Trump coming out victorious on this issue. He does have the power to do that. Hey, Brian, before we let you go, we want to turn to this latest development in the President's nationwide crime crackdown. So on Tuesday of this week, Los Angeles County's Board of Supervisors, they voted for nothing, to ban ICE agents from wearing masks on duty. These people out there, my goodness. But the Department of Homeland Security. Yeah, I mean, they say it has no intention. They're not going to cede their constitutional authority to states or counties on this. So go ahead, Brian. What more can you tell us? Sir.
- [96:56]
I agree this is ridiculous. You know, the fact that the governor wants to unmask some of these, I would say most high profile front lines, law enforcement agents that are really facing some very dangerous situation for them to regulate. That is, it's ridiculous. He's not going to comply. Let's just say that these, these officials will continue to do their job. They will continue to protect themselves, protect their families. These are the same people, though, mind you, that wanted you to wear a mask on the beach during COVID When you're all alone on an isolated stretch of the beach on the sand, by yourself, locking up surfers in the water for surfing during COVID These are the same people that want to unmask some of these law enforcement agents that are facing danger every day. This is a ridiculous case. It's a ridiculous notion here. I do not see ice, anybody, immigration, complying to this. Let them fight it, Let them drag it out. But the safety of these ICE agents and everyone involved in this immigration task force is the most priority in all of this. So mask up, leave it on, and disregard these fools in California. I feel an epic Brian Glenn rant coming on almost. If we had more time. Well, well, what's really interesting, I wish we could go another hour on David Brody reading about skin care because I was quite frankly very interested in that product. And since we're talking about music, I'm also interested to know what is on your wrapped on your Spotify. I'm going to post mine up on social media here in a little bit. I'm just curious if you guys have got that Spotify wrapped recap. Apparently I have the age of a 16 year old, so I probably act like one too. But according to Spotify, I'm 16 in the age. But yeah, I don't want to know my age.

Let's spill some tea.

All right, let's get right into what's in the cup today. And we're talking about Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The congresswoman is sounding the alarm after President Trump launched his sweeping crackdown on Somali communities, specifically in Minneapolis and the Minnesota area. Speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper, the squad member claimed that the president's actions have created a dangerous situation for her. All of this comes on the heels of the president recently discovering that there was massive fraud involving Somalian Americans in Minnesota. Excuse me. So here's just some of what Congresswoman Omar had to say. I mean, it creates fear and there is a possible danger that a lot of the people who follow the president have exhibited violence. In many cases, especially in my case, whenever he has said something about me that is is derogatory or says I'm a threat to the country, I have gotten death threats. There are so many people that have been incarcerated over the years that have been encouraged by the president's words. And so there is fear for Somalis not just in Minnesota, but across the country.

All right, we want to know what you happen to think about her comments. Let us know on get a rumble YouTube. Hop on into our chats and let your voice be heard. Looking forward to your thoughts. Still to come here on American Sunrise, though, a Portland nonprofit bringing big smiles with tiny paws. How pile of puppies is lifting the spirits of children who are facing serious illnesses one puppy pile at a time. That's coming up.
- [103:19]
Dr. Gina
All right. Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks so much for joining us today. It is time now for our Sunnyside up in the Pan Today story about hope and healing and a whole lot of puppies. Even more puppies than are in my house. This was in Portland, a small making a big difference for children facing chronic or terminal illnesses. It is called Pile of Puppies, and its mission is simple. Bring pure joy straight to kids who need it most. Founded by Jennifer Trempenier, who knows the challenges of serious illnesses firsthand, the group has organized thousands of puppy pylons, moments so uplifting that families say they can cut through even the the hardest of days. From playpens lined with pads to litters of wiggling, tumbling puppies, these visits offer something medicine can't a reason to smile. I can tell you firsthand the puppies really do have healing powers. Wake up, Colby. Be. Be healing. No, this is absolutely true. In fact, my husband will say, like, when I'm having a really bad day, he knows that there's, like, there's one way to get me out of that, and that's puppies. It just is. They're like God's little healing remedy.

David Brody
Yeah, it's Puppy Thursday, by the way.
- [104:31]
Dr. Gina
Apparently, it just became that.
- [104:33]
David Brody
Yeah, it just became that. You know, it's one thing to have, you know, one puppy is a smile right there, but a pile on of puppies, I mean, that's a boatload of smiles for sure. You know, we've got the kids obviously out of the house now. I'm 60 years old. My wife is the same. That's okay. She doesn't mind me saying her age. No, I know, Terrence, I know you were going to say something. I'm going to leave it alone. We got the kids out of the house, and of course, we have two dogs, and we have a cat as well. And so when they were at the clinic for a little while, for a couple of days, for certain reasons, not only do we miss them, but the eerie silence in the house. It's like, yeah, we miss the kids, but, boy, we miss our puppies. Or we miss our doggies. Just so. So. I don't know. I know, Terrence, you miss dogs terribly or. I'm just kidding. So you know what? There is something to the kind of joy that dogs bring to a household. As you guys know, we don't have a dog. We don't have any pets in our house, but we do have a God dog. We call Mia our guide dog. And Mia now is not just my family's guide dog, but she also literally will go spend weeks with my mother in law and my sister in law and that's something that they look forward to. They look forward to Mia coming to visit. And my sister in law, who David, as I've told you, was a, is a cancer survivor. She had a diagnosis very early on in life, in her 20s, and she's still kind of recovering and building her life back. And she enjoys having Mia there. She enjoys kind of, you know, dressing Mia up. And I can see, and I have seen how therapeutic it is for her to have Mia around. So dogs really, you know, they really do. They, they can change lives and they can brighten up a dark day. Can I ask you real quick, do we have an animal count at your house? And once again, if you don't want to answer this based on zoning ordinance rules, that's fine, but I, I Z David, it's not, it's not a house, it's an ark. It's at her ark. They come in two by two.

Dr. Gina
Two things. I love boats and puff. You're absolutely right, Terrence. I think I'm at 10 right now, which is kind of a low number for me, to be completely honest. We lost one to cancer a couple months ago. My senior Frenchie and I just gave my bunny back to my daughter. I lost another bunny, Tam. Tam, named after Tam in our chat. She was very elderly. I adopted her. She was blind and deaf and I really didn't think we'd have along with her at all. But she did live a while and just lost her about a while was in. While I was in the Middle East. I lost her. So, yeah, so we're down to about 10 right now. If anybody has any spare animals, send them my way because I'm sure I have room for them.
- [107:13]
Did I lose you all? Think I lost you. All right, you guys, it is the end of the show, but as you know, War room will be coming up next. Tell us about your puppies in the chat. We always love to hear about your animals as well. We are back with you to watch tomorrow with more real America's Voice, American Sunrise. Always happy to have you with us.
