American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION on Real america's VOICE starts now.
Kevin Bosovic
All right.
Brian Glenn
Good morning, everybody. Lots of stories before we go any further. Let's get you ready for the day ahead. Here's how you can start your morning with us. Take a look at the bottom of your screen there. There's a QR code that is your direct line to Weather Nation. Now scan it, get connected. And during the 9am hour of American Sunrise will feature your hometown forecast live in real time there. So head over to our chats on getter rumble, YouTube and you could be next. So let's take a look at our national forecast. And joining us now is Weather Nation's Tracy Anthony. Tracy, good morning to you on this Thursday. How are you doing?
Tracy Anthony
Hey, good morning. You know, it's Friday eve, so can't complain. How about you?
Brian Glenn
It's the best day of the week. Yes, it is, right?
Tracy Anthony
Yeah. No, you know, and it's been a crazy weather week. But I, it's, you know, there's two flip sides of the coin because it makes it more interesting and entertaining. But some of this weather has been a little devastating this week. So out west, especially when we're talking about feet of snow and travel really being crippled across any of the higher elevations. But this map I know looks pretty busy, but want to kind of break it down in a little more context for you. So we still have the fire danger that's going to continue out across the Central Plains. Out west, we have another system that's knocking on our doorstep. So that Pacific moisture is, is reloading. And as those lows work across the Rockies and then push over the Great Lakes to the Northeast, we are in for kind of a one, two punch across these regions and also that threat for severe storms. So we have a grab bag of weather today that's really going to be impacting a ton of people. But want to kind of talk about areas, you know, out to the west where we still have, ooh, looks like these videos are from yesterday. Well, we will get that fixed, Brian. We will still have a good amount of snow. So, you know, they are talking avalanche dangers that's very widespread and we still have about 3ft of snow that will be expected. So that's one of the biggest concerns and will be one of the big top stories we continue to follow.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, lots of weather changes. We were talking off air this time of year, these transitional seasons, man, you gotta look out for some of those big storms going through the country.
Kevin Bosovic
Tracy, thank you.
Brian Glenn
Thank you so much. And we'll see you back on AMERICAN Sunrise here shortly.
Tracy Anthony
Sounds good.
Kevin Bosovic
All right.
Brian Glenn
Let's turn now to our top story. President Trump back on the road today, heading to Rome, Georgia, as early voting continues in the race to fill former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green seat. Now. Meanwhile, back in Washington, his political team huddling behind closed doors, mapping out midterm strategies with a strong focus on the economy and election integrity. And that comes as the FBI continues its investigation into the seized election materials out of Fulton County, Georgia, adding another layer to the conversation. And joining us now, there's Marley Hornick, the CEO of Real America Vote and a government fraud expert. Marley, good morning to you. On this Thursday, we'll get to the the race here in Georgia 14. But first, what is the very latest on what's develop there in Fulton County?
Marley Hornick
Well, one of the things that's going on in Fulton county and it's happening across the country also, is that the left the counter is making this argument that this investigation and all of the voter roll requests across the country are actually nothing but a grab by the federal government for power over elections. They want to seize voter privacy, create a secondary list in D.C. and somehow use that to manipulate elections. And it's really important for us all to remember at this time that when our election structure was developed by the founders deliberately and very conscientiously, they placed dual authority in the states and the federal Government, because each one has a vulnerability, honestly, to the other. So if the states run elections and the federal government has no oversight, then they can actually subvert the federal government. These requests, this investigation in Fulton county, these are justified legal actions that the Justice Department is pursuing in order to protect voting rights, not to subvert them in any way. It's a misnomer. Privacy of ballots, secrecy of the ballot is sacrosanct. But secrecy of who is on a voter list in the United States of America. Sorry, you're going to lose that one. And that precedent, there's standing case law that goes back to 1888 on that one. They're going to lose it. And we just have to keep our heads on straight here while they're throwing all of these false arguments out into the media.
Brian Glenn
Yeah. And as we go into the midterms, and of course, the SAVE act, from what I understand, might potentially get a vote next week on the floor, we'll see what exactly happens on that. But when you, when you look at the, the midterms and you look. Go into 2028, the focus being on election integrity, that's one of the president's top agenda, that's what he ran on, is securing our elections. Is this topic getting enough attention not only from. I know it's getting a lot of attention from the liberal media as they're painting it in such a way that you just described, but is there getting enough attention from conservative outlets that. That need to, you know, basically tell the other side of the story? I know that we do it, Marley, but are you seeing other outlets do it as well?
Marley Hornick
Well, there are signs of it, but honestly, it's kind of a dry topic. You know, election administration is pretty boring. And the technical details that many extraordinary research across the country are showing and finding, like, like Kevin Monkla's work in Georgia, that is assisting and adding to what the FBI is investigating and, and Garland Favorito as well. Many, many working on that, you know, showing that there were over 17,000 ballot images deleted, showing that there were nearly 4,000 double scanned ballots in 2020 in Fulton County. This kind of forensic detail is not usually what people are focused on when they're trying to get the groceries paid, trying to get the kids to baseball practice and make all the. Make all the pieces come together by the end of the day. Right. So I think the risk that we face, which I really agree with you raising, and I appreciate you raising it, the risk is that we feel like the SAVE act has got this covered, when in reality there are Still a lot of opportunities for election control within the system. And I think what RealAmerica Vote is doing with our lawsuit in New York against Letitia James is really important. We are arguing that it is the right to choose representatives, not just voter id. It's not just, you know, one item. It's the right to choose. And the administrators of our elections have to be able to prove to us that that is what happened. Otherwise we will lose confidence in the system, and rightly so.
Kevin Bosovic
Yeah.
Brian Glenn
And I think when the American people lose confidence in their secure vote, I think that's when the true democracy, when people like to say it's a threat to our democracy, I think that's when truly start to go down as a society. Because when people don't show up to vote, there is obviously consequences to that.
Marley Hornick
Yeah, well, actually that's when we become what the founders would identify as a democracy, AKA mob rule, which is what we're already seeing in Minnesota. We have people claiming the protection of the First Amendment, but out in the streets saying, off with her head for Kristi Noem. You know, they're a little bit confused. That's the French Revolution. This is America. And we have the right to petition for redress of grievances. The First Amendment gives us the opportunity to have a dignified conversation with our government about things we would like to see done differently. They're in the wrong country. It is not the French Revolution. And we don't want to become that. We don't want to devolve into that kind of insanity and chaos. And we have to create that through our vote. 100%. I couldn't agree with you more.
Brian Glenn
Wonderful. Let's turn our attention real quickly to Georgia 14th. Early voting had just started to replace the congressional seat that Marjorie Taylor Greene opened up. So what's your thoughts on this rate? I know we got about 20 something candidates, all Republicans trying to vie for this one seat. There's a couple Democrats in there as well. It's expected to stay red, but early polling indicates a large Democrat turnout and then it could be with a congested Republican list of candidates. It's going to ultimately, in my opinion, go to a runoff. But what's your thoughts on Georgia 14th?
Marley Hornick
No, I agree. We're going to end up with a runoff because it's going to be impossible. I think we're down to 16 candidates. A couple dropped out when the President endorsed Clay Fuller, but we still have 16 in there. It's going to end up in a runoff. You know, there's something interesting about Georgia. And it's always been this way and it's a beautiful quality. But when we were still a Confederation of States, Georgia's representation was one representative for every 10 citizens. They were totally unique. And you can see that that spirit of independence, that fire of independence and liberty is very well and alive there. And I do think we're going to end up with another red representative out of the 14th in Georgia. I really do believe that. I know that there are risks inside of the election system. RealAmerica Vote tracked problems working with researchers in Georgia in previous elections where actually voters whose registration dates were January 1st had double the turnout rate of voters for all other registration dates around the year. Right. So if you're registered to vote on any other date than January 1st, you turn out around 46%. If you're registered to vote on January 1st, for some reason, very enthusiastic voters turn out rates above 80%. So I'm just pointing that out because there's always a risk of fraud. That's why we have dual authority over elections. And we want to keep this one secure and we want to keep it red.
Brian Glenn
All right, Marlee, thank you so much for all your information. Once again, that website our viewers can

All right. Still ahead this morning, new details in the Rhode island hockey arena tragedy, including what the gunman's family is is saying now. Plus, the search for Nancy Guthrie goes international. The FBI reaching out to Mexican authorities as new ransom demand surfaces. We'll have the very latest as well. That's right after the break.

All right, live look at Mystic, Connecticut. Beautiful time. A little cold there, but nevertheless a beautiful place. Welcome back to AMERICAN Sunrise EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. Good to have you this morning. Now we're tracking the White House. We're tracking the markets and the stories that are shaping your day. And always we invite you to join the conversation over on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. We're live and we're listening and I'm retweeting as well. So if you're watching us at home, take a picture of your screen, tweet it up and I will retweet you. I just did that a few minutes ago. So we appreciate you walking, watching the show. Quick check on Wall street as we're heading towards today's opening bell. A solid day on Wall Street. The Dow closing at just under over 49. 662 up 129 points. Nasdaq ending at 22, 753- gaining 175. Both indexes finishing higher. Now turning our attention to crude oil just under $66 a barrel. Natural gas around $3 and a 10 year yield. Treasury, this is interesting, hovering around 4.1%. We'll keep an eye on that. That is your look ahead. Plus, crypto not able to get above 70,000. We'll keep an EY. All right. Moving on. New details this morning in the Rhoda Island Hockey arena shooting as the gunman's daughter speaks out describing warning signs and years of mental health struggles. The Strat, the tragedy is also feeling a larger debate. NYU Lagone now says it's ending its transgender treatment program for minors. And even as the left lean Atlantic recently headlined, quote, the tide goes out on youth gender medicine. Joining us now is Ollie London who publicly Transitioned and then later d transitioned and now speaks out as a critic of modern gender ideology. Ollie is the author of Gender Madness. One Man's Devastating Struggle with woke Ideology in His Battle to Protect children. Ollie, welcome to the show. I told you off camera I appreciate your efforts and really speaking out on this topic. A lot of people are afraid to do that. You're not. Let's talk about the this, this shooter in Rhode Island. We're learning more that he's been battling with some mental illness and apparently gender identify identification for himself.
Ollie London
Well Brian, thank you very much for having me. And yes, this person's own daughter following the shooting at the hockey match actually said he had mental health issues. She also described him as very sick. She has now spoken out again and given an interview and saying this was a targeted shooting and he had a vendetta against his ex wife and his family. So his own daughter revealing it was a targeted attack. And court records from 2020 show his ex wife when she filed for divorce she cited his gender reassignment surgery and narcissistic personality disorder as reasons for the divorce. So this is clearly very deranged individual that had a lot of disturbances with his family. His father in law previously called police to a disturbance at his house when he tried to kick him out the house. And it was again an argument over his gender transition. And he was posting constantly videos in the gym wearing tight women's shorts, showing off his kind of women's clothing. This was very disturbed individual. And the fact his own daughter said it was targeted, clearly it was an ongoing family dispute and it's truly tragic.
Brian Glenn
You know when, when those on the, on the right conservatives speak out about this and we call it a mental illness. We don't mean any, any harm by saying that it truly is something that these individuals need help. We're not shaming them. We're simply pointing out that they do need some professional counseling as this narrative shifts. We just mentioned a facility there in New York that is no longer going to perform this just gender affirming care on minors. Is this something that you're seeing is going to continue? Do you think that more facilities are going to speak out against this?
Ollie London
Well, the tide is definitely turning, Brian. Just recently a D transitioner won a $2 million payout for medical malpractice for their therapist and doctor medically transitioning them as a teen. So the tide is definitely turning. A well known detransitioner, Chloe Cole also has a pending court case against Kaiser Permiente for her medical transition. When she was also a teen. So the tide is shifting. Trump has obviously pushed this federal ban on gender transition procedures on minors. Trans activists have been losing their minds. In Washington, D.C. just yesterday, trans activists were arrested for protesting against a ban on children being medically transitioned. But the tide is turning. Most people now are very much against this. They've realized the horrors and the harm. And I think these brave detransitioners and young people have been speaking out, and it's really shifting the opinion.
Brian Glenn
You know, when you look at the latest batch of mass shootings, a lot of them trace back to the transgender community.
Kevin Bosovic
And it's.
Brian Glenn
It's a disturbing trend that we're seeing. Is it safe to say that this is probably one of the most threatening groups of people in our society that has a high risk of mental illness which could lead them to some type of violent activity?
Ollie London
Well, the trans community, according to the Williams Institute at UCLA, represents just 0.6% of the U.S. population. But it seems to be a disproportionate amount of transgender mass shooters. You had last year, the Minneapolis shooter you had in 2023, the Nashville Covenant transgender shooter, the Colorado Spring shooter was non binary. The Aberdeen shooter was trans, one of the Denver stem cell shooters. So clearly a disproportionate number compared to the fact that they're just 0.6% of the population. So it is something that really needs to be looked at. Whether, for instance, this recent trans shooter in Rhode Island, Robert Dawkin, what kind of medication was he on? What are these trans shooters being prescribed? Is that leading them to a tendency to violence and aggression? This is something that needs to be explored. And it's not wrong to call it a mental illness. It is a mental illness. And, you know, there shouldn't be ashamed in calling it that. It's not a hateful thing to say, but it does need to be addressed as a mental health illness. This latest trans shooter's own daughter said he had mental health issues. So why was he medically transitioned and made even more unstable?
Brian Glenn
Yeah, Ollie, I will say this. On Margie Taylor Green's last day in Congress, she was able to pass Protect Children's Innocence act, which makes it a felony to reform transit transitioning surgeries on minors. That is now moved to the Senate. So Ali will. Hopefully this segment can put pressure on our Senate. This is a no brainer. This is a 99 issue that people do not want the transitioning of our kids. Ali, thank you so much for joining us. I appreciate it.
Ollie London
Appreciate it. Brian, have a Great day. Thank you.
Brian Glenn
Yes. Yes, sir. All right. Still ahead, Peptides promoted as a fountain of youth, but the hype grows and so does the shadow move market. What's the real story and what's risky about these? Plus the search for Nancy Guthrie and the investigation now crossing borders as new ransom demand surfaces. The latest on both stories when we come back after the break. All right.
Bo Davidson
Welcome back.
Brian Glenn
American Sunrise guys, live look at Atlanta, Georgia. All eyes on Georgia today. We'll get to that a little bit later. Thanks for tuning in. I am Brian Glenn. Thanks for joining us this morning. We're tracking the headlines. As as always, we invite you to join the conversation on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. We're live and we're listening and quote, tweet me, take a picture. Are you watching this at home? I'll put you back up on X. You can follow me at Brian Glenn tv. I did that a little bit earlier. All right, first, a quick warning for folks at home. Peptides. They're being touted for weight loss, muscle gain and even anti aging. Some are FDA approved for specific uses, but many others are sold online, lightly regulated and in some cases mixed with injected at home. Doctors warn the hype may be outpacing the science and feeling a fast growing, mostly unregulated market. So what's the. So what's real and what's risky? Joining us now is Lou Reese, a biotech entrepreneur and humanitarian. Thank you, Lou, for joining us this morning on American Sunrise. Now, peptides, you can't jump online without seeing someone talk about peptides and so much chat going on. But there's a warning with some of these peptides as well. Let's talk about it.
Lou Reese
Yes, sir. Well, thank you for having me, Brian. Appreciate being here. You know, with peptides right now, I think there is a lot of promise and I think that there's a lot of science going on that's actually really positive for humanity in the future. What we have now is we have this what I'd call a RUO fiction, which means most of these labels, over 80 to 90% of the peptides that are coming in the market are on the gray market. And most of those are coming from China. And RUO means research use only. And then it says not for human consumption. So the problem that we have is that we're actually administering things that are, that are very poorly regulated and have limited, limited oversight. And a lot of times these things to avoid that oversight are coming in the country and labeled as green tea extract or coming in from India and labeled as samples. And so we're not really getting what we think we're getting. You know, there's toxicity issues that are, that are really, really significant. And that means that there's, there's real safety issues for, for Americans that are taking these.
Brian Glenn
How do we know which ones on that premise are good and which ones are junk from China? How do we know that?
Lou Reese
Well, you know, one of the best ways is to check and see if these are FDA regulated or if they're CGMP regulated, which is like a good manufacturing process. And clinical good manufacturing process is the best. And the other thing is that one of the projects that we're working on is actually bringing a lot of this manufacturing back to the states where it's regulated and where it can be tested and where it's safe. So independent lab testing is really good, and testing in the US Is good historically. But this isn't just happening in the US where these are flooding the markets. It's also happening in parts of Central and South America and all over Europe as well. So really what we need is we need to bring home the API, the active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing to the US where it can be regulated and monitored. We can make sure that the patients are getting what they think they're getting.
Brian Glenn
Okay, Lou, is there a minimum age that someone can start taking peptides? Once again, I'll go back to social media. Lou, everyone wants to post up about these peptides, and I always pump the brakes on this and say, well, how young is too young to take something like this? Is there an age requirement on these peptides?
Lou Reese
So for most of them, the answer is no, because this is a great market product. Right. So anybody at any age can be getting these. I have a young family and my son is getting into that age range and he's 14 right now. And there are friends of his that are looking for muscle growth or looking for all sorts of different things. And that's a dangerous thing. It's just like any other drug, especially when poorly regulated and especially when you're buying it over the Internet. So yes, in theory, there are age ranges. And yes, in theory, those age ranges are implied through clinical trial and through good medical practice. But in reality, when you're buying them on the gray market, the answer is that it's very difficult to regulate that and it's extremely dangerous.
Kevin Bosovic
There you go.
Brian Glenn
And also the biggest benefits from these peptides would be what to kind of go through all the claims. What's the greatest benefit of some of them?
Lou Reese
I mean, I think the greatest Benefits are what we've seen in some of the GLP1s and GLP3s which are not fully improved yet. The GLP3s and those are surrounding weight loss. There are some concerning signs around muscle loss at the same time, but I think that the overall benefit there is significant. There are also alternatives for basically stimulating the immune system and stimulating the immune system in certain ways. That has been at least demonstrated and I'm not gonna say proven, but demonstrated to have a really beneficial impact on getting sick or on responses to recovery, things like that. There's also some muscle growth opportunities in the peptide space and again, those aren't approved yet in, in a, in a formal way. But I believe there's, there's going to be some progress there. One of the, one of the largest issues facing health span in the United States is something called sarcopenia and that's muscle wasting. And what happens is when people get, lose a lot of muscle, they get wobbly. And when they get wobbly they can fall and when they fall they can break hips. And that's a, that's a progression. That's a downward spiral. That really is brutal. And so, so there are some promising drugs in the pipeline for that as well. One of them is a myostatin activate, a combo that's extremely, but, but those are the main benefits.
Brian Glenn
Wonderful. Lou Reese, it's always a pleasure. Good seeing you again, my friend. I look forward to talking about the next big medical breakthrough that I know that you're a part of and we'll talk about that a little bit later. Thank you, Lou. Have a great weekend.
Lou Reese
Thanks so much. Appreciate you. Have a great day.
Brian Glenn
Yes, sir, have a great day. All right. The search for Nancy Guthrie expands beyond the U. S. Borders. Now the FBI is working with Mexican authorities as a new ransom demand emerges out of the west. A deadly blizzard triggers one of the worst avalanches in modern California history. Eight confirmed dead, one person still missing near Lake Tahoe. The latest on both those stories when we come back.

Terrence Bates
Hey, Brian. Good morning to you. Look, there's a lot of news to get to, Brian, so let's just jump right in. Dozens of world leaders and national delegations are in the nation's capital right now preparing to meet with President Trump for the inaugural gathering of the Trump Board of Peace. Today's meeting is going to be at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.
Tracy Anthony
Member states have pledged more than $5 billion towards the Gaza humanitarian and reconstruction efforts and have also committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force and local police to maintain security and peace for Gazans.
Terrence Bates
All right, Brian, so here are some details. Today's summit is going to be attended by a delegation from the Middle east, which includes representatives from Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan and Qatar. Other attendees are going to be Argentina, Paraguay and Hungary. However, major European allies including the United Kingdom, Germany and France have declined to join the group and even criticize the Board of Peace's founding. And then one of the latest headlines related to this story, Brian, Pope Leo has also turned down President Trump's invitation to join the board. We, of course, will have live coverage on this developing story here on Real America's Voice. But, Brian, you were there for the initial signing. You were in Davos. The initial signing of those member nations happened there in Davos. And so this is the next, the next iteration. This is the next step as this Board of Peace moves forward.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, even before that signing in Davos, I remember Carolyn Levitt mentioning this Board of Peace. And we started to kind of find out the details and, and the, the goal of this, of this board, it was to rebuild Gaza. And people couldn't comprehend what it would take and of course, the massive cleanup that would be involved in doing this and the, in the massive efforts it would need from, from not only countries but money. And we have seen money pour into this. That was one of the reasons, I will say that, that the Pope declined to get involved because it had more of a corporate backing on it rather than perhaps a faith backing. That's his take on that. But, yeah, Board of Peace, we'll see what it looks like today. We'll have, by the way, that will have coverage of that right here on Real America's Voice as it happens.
Terrence Bates
Absolutely. I believe President Trump is scheduled to speak about 9 o' clock Eastern Time, so the moment he takes the podium, we'll of course, take our viewers there. Also want to update you some breaking news out of the United Kingdom, where the former Prince of England, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, is under arrest this morning on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Now, the timing of his arrest is notable as officers took the king's brother into custody this morning on his 66th birthday. Getting locked up on your birthday, that's quite a present. The arrest follows the release of millions of pages of documents from the U.S. department of justice related to Jeffrey Epstein. And British police believe the former prince trafficked girls to England for sex. He's also accused of sharing sensitive government information with Epstein during his time as the UK's trade envoy. Thames Valley police there in England leading the operation this morning. Multiple unmarked cars and plainclothes officers were seen at the area or at the scene where the former prince is living. The disgraced former royal cuffed and taken away. Authorities saying the case is ongoing and more details are expected as inquiries continue. This is a huge development, Brian, particularly for people watching the Epstein files case and calling for accountability. Uh, this is the first probably major person to be arrested. The question is, though, it happened in England. Do you think, Brian, there will be arrests here in the United States? Because where there's smoke, there's fire. And a lot of people believe there's an inferno here in the United States with people, people who probably did something illegal related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Brian Glenn
Yeah. And if you take a look at some of the evidence that came out, the documents in those files that linked to the prince there, they were bad, but we have since then seen so far worse stuff come out on individuals in this country. Elected officials, top business executives, personalities. So I don't know if we'll actually go as far as what you're seeing happening right now. I wish we would. I wish. Pam, Bonnie, I wish we had continual coverage of people being, you know, perk walked into the courthouse after being arrested on what they found for sure in these files, but that's yet to happen. But I definitely applaud the authorities over in the UK for really taking this seriously and taking action on it. It not just talking about it.
Terrence Bates
And doesn't it make a statement that a former royal, the brother of the king, the sitting king of England, was arrested? Now, there might be questions, and I have to admit, you know, I'm one of those people, I'm always gonna have questions. Are there really gonna be any teeth or are they gonna give him a slap on the wrist because he is still the king's brother, or are they gonna really prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law?
Brian Glenn
Well, it's more than what we're doing here. I think some of the Epstein victims at least have some satisfaction if someone being taken into custody. And I was watching the BBC and some other news outlet, Sky News this morning. It's all, of course, it's all over the news here. It's a big story, but at least something is happening. Terrence.
Terrence Bates
No, agreed, agreed. Hopefully it will embolden law enforcement here in the United States to really pursue people who are accused here in the US and hopefully we'll see some perp walks and, excuse me, prosecutions and ultimately convictions. All right, let's bring it back here to the U.S. brian, you reported on this earlier. President Trump is going to continue a very busy day with a visit to Rome, Georgia. He's going to be visiting Georgia's 14th congressional district as early voting in a special election to fill the seat that was vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene is happening. Now during today's Stop 47 will speak about the economy, inflation and other key issues. He's also expected to visit a steel factory there. Mr. Trump endorsing prosecutor Clay Fuller in a crowded field of candidates to replace mtg. That race, by the way, expected to go to a runoff since it's going to be difficult for any candidate to win a majority with nearly 20 candidates in that race. And Brian, don't be surprised to see Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones alongside the president today. Jones, of course, running for governor and already has Mr. Trump's endorsement. President Trump also endorsing, as I said, Clay Fuller. So look, look, let's not be fooled. This is also a campaign stop. I would imagine the president is there to show his face, to support the candidates that he's already endorsed and to try to push them over the line.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, he's going to make a stop at Cusa Steel, which is right there in the heart of Rome. 14th district, big manufacturing plant. This is the flooring capital of the world in Georgia. 14 majority of all the floors being manufactured comes from this district. So there's a lot of blue collar jobs there. Now, as you said, the race to replace MTGC is, is pretty contested. There's 20, I think, candidates in that race. Now, as you spoke, it's not going to go, it'll go to a runoff But I think clearly at the end of the day, you will have a Republican in this seat because it is a deeply red seat. This race. Typically when Marjorie held this seat was the first race called in the entire country just by the pure overwhelming support for her and Republicans in the seat. But President Trump is here to talk about the economy and give it a boost and talk about the manufacturing in this country. I think it's a good thing that when the president goes anywhere, it's good for your district. So I'm sure that Clayton Fuller appreciates him stopping by his.
Terrence Bates
Well, absolutely. Hey, what's your, what's your sense? Does President Trump's endorsement do it even if it does go to a runoff? There are some other pretty well known state lawmakers who are running for that seat as well. There's the one Congressman Colton. What's his name? Colton?
Brian Glenn
Colton Moore.
Terrence Bates
Courtney Moore. Colton Moore. I couldn't think of his name. Colton Moore, also running in that district. He's pretty well known across the state. Is the Trump endorsement really kind of the golden ticket ticket, or is this going to be more contested than most people would assume?
Brian Glenn
Well, I, I will say this. I think a lot of people in, in the Georgia 14th district look, looks at Fuller as being more your, your, your institutional Republican from what, what I've been told. So they look at Colton Moore being more organic and Fuller, being more of the person that would be open to taking money from a pack or one of these big lobbyists and Colton Moore being the one that wouldn't. So we'll see which one the voters decide would be the best representation for this district. But it's certainly tested race. Thank you. All right. Thanks, Terence. We'll see you back on the other side for America's Sunrise. All right, we turn now our attention to Tucson, Arizona, for the very latest in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. The FBI now reaching out to Mexican authorities as the investigation goes. International authorities say there are no solid leads, but, but a new ransom demand has surfaced, this time involving a different cryptocurrency account. Joining us live from Tucson to talk about this and a whole lot more, Kevin Bosovic, thank you so much for joining us. Wow. So now we have a new ransom note that uses a different cryptocurrency. Kind of strange.
Kevin Bosovic
Yes. Yes, Brian. So it is strange because on one hand we have have, you know, this new ransom note come out and, and it says it needs an alternate form of cryptocurrency. And also the email itself has been encrypted. So it's it's hard to track. And that was one of my initial thoughts on that. And you know, so we have this very sophisticated wording, we're told. And, and so also just a brief, these new messages will not be read to the audience like the priority ones, but we're given summaries of this. So, so yeah, we're told it's very sophisticated wording and that there's assumptions that, you know, it. She could be south of the border now, Nancy. And also, yeah, $6 billion alternative crypto encrypted email. And then you contrast that with the video itself and a lot, there's a lot of speculation that this, this, this burglar kidnapper wasn't the brightest individual. So that I will give an educated guess here and say that, you know, that would mean there's perhaps at least two people involved here. You know, maybe one of them's just the guy on the ground and the other guy is sending the messages. But yeah, that is, that is a bit strange, I mean, to be that high level sophisticated. So, you know, from Sheriff Nanos, he's saying the case is far from cold and he's pleading with the suspects to just let her go. Okay. And so we also have a bit of a stalemate there. In no press conferences, we're getting trickles of information from private interviews that are then released. And, and also, yeah, like Mexican authorities have been notified of the case. So it could involve solve, you know, a number of things. But you know, we're trying to give you guys the evidence here. But yeah, that's, that's pretty much summing up the, the ransom note as of
Terrence Bates
one of the things.
Brian Glenn
Morning, Kevin. One of the things that I noted early on when they referred to a dollar amount, it said USD US Dollars. Anyone in the states doesn't refer to. If I were to say I was going to send you a hundred bucks or a hundred dollars, I wouldn't say a hundred US dollars. That's only made from someone outside the country. I learned that when I went over to, to Switzerland how they refer to our currency. So initially, Kevin, when this happened and I saw that, I said this person's from out his country. Well, the nearest country to all of us is Mexico. So we'll continue to watch all of this. Kevin, how can people follow you on social media? I know you're on the ground there in Tucson doing amazing work. How can they follow you?
Kevin Bosovic
Well, you can follow me here, Rav, Field correspondent on X and Instagram. That is my real name. And we are not institutional media that is being attacked and having hit pieces written about us. We are trying to keep it real over here. So yeah, you can follow me on there. And sometimes I do substack as well. I'm trying to get on that. But yeah, please stay tuned. There's continuing developments down here in the Catalina foothills.
Brian Glenn
All right, Kevin, thank you so much. Have a great rest of the day. We'll see you. Thank you. All right. Still to come on America's Sunrise early edition, the NFB 2026 Christian Media Convention continues in 10 in Tennessee today. We'll have a live look on the ground. Keep it right here. The NRB's up next. Stick around Foreign. Live look at onset, Massachusetts. Sun coming up over there. Beautiful day on tap. All right. Welcome back. America's Sunrise Early Edition. I am Brian Glenn. The NRB 2026 International Christian Media Convention rolls on today in Nashville, Tennessee. Now the gathering is drawing Christian broadcaster, ministry leaders and content creators from across the country and around the globe. For more, let's bring in rav's correspondent, Bo Davidson, who is on the ground there. Bo, good morning to you.
Bo Davidson
Good morning to you, Brian. You know, quite a, quite a turn of the tables. You know, usually I'm in the studio and you're in the field and we're kind of flip flopping that today. But, but all for good reason. You know, I'm out here in the bright, crisp Nashville chilly air. Yeah, it's great. I'm here in the parking lot right now of the Gaylord Opryland Center. And you know, Brian, you've been here many times before. I used to live here for 10 years. Huge, huge, huge event space. But this is, as you described, it's the largest gathering of Christian communicators in the world. And it happens once a year called the National Religious Broadcasters Conference, used to be called, I think the Christian Broadcasters Conference, but they expanded it because there's a large contingency of other faiths, namely Jewish people that are coming here that are obviously being persecuted. So religious liberty, religious persecution around the globe. We know about Nigeria, Christians in Nigeria, all across the world where people are being persecuted. What this conference wants to do is get the message of faith and advancing the kingdom of God all throughout the globe.
Brian Glenn
Amen to that. That's what we need more in this society. Now is this a way that people can come and look at some of these content creators and if they have a network, they have a broadcast platform, they can kind of put people together? It's kind of a networking event.
Bo Davidson
Is it not very, very big networking event. Yeah. I mean, you see a lot of the broadcasters that you would expect. I think it's actually important, Brian, that RAV is here because as RAV expands its portfolio, we know about real America's music, real America's faith and family to come. It's important to know that our presidents, our vice presidents here, those who are in charge, are men of faith. And that's in their heart. And I think that, that, you know, when you're doing this from a journalistic perspective, obviously we're supposed to be unbiased. We're reporting the honest news to you. But also, I think it's important to advance what's up here, you know, what's up above us.
Brian Glenn
God.
Bo Davidson
And I think we know we lead with that. So, yes, it's networking. Yes. It's seeing familiar faces. We don't have to worry about drinks being poured on us here as some of our camera operators, the one in front of me, has experienced in the past. But, you know, there's some really good people here too, Brian. I had an amazing interview yesterday morning with Kathy Iron. Now, why is Cathy Ireland here? Isn't she a supermodel from Sports Illustrated? You remember her, but she's leading her entire entrepreneurial vision and businesses with faith. And she started a co founded a Christian school in California. She started a Bible study in her neighborhood. Leading with faith.
Brian Glenn
But Bo, we appreciate you for social media purpose. Real quickly, how can people follow you
Bo Davidson
on the ground there at Thebo Davidson? And one last thing, Brian, Big announcement. Pete Hegseth coming Tonight to the Freedom 250 gathering right here at NRB. Big, big name.
Brian Glenn
That is. That is awesome. All right, that does it for today. We'll be back here tomorrow, same time as always. Goodbye and God bless. We'll see you.
