Breaking news from Real America's Voice.
Terrence Bates
Welcome to American Sunrise. I'm Terrence Bates and we begin this morning with breaking news from the United Kingdom, where the former Prince of England, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, is under arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Now, the timing of the arrest is notable as officers took the king's brother into custody early this morning on his 66th birthday. The arrest follows the release of millions of pages of documents from the U.S. department of justice related to Jeffrey Epstein. 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 is leading this operation. Multiple unmarked cars and plainclothes officers were at the scene early this morning as a disgraced former royal was cuffed and taken away. Authorities say the case is ongoing and more details are expected as inquiries continue. Let's bring in David brody in Washington, D.C. and Dr. Gina in our West Palm Studios for reaction to all of this. David, Gina, good morning to you. Dr. Gina, I want to start with you because you have been calling for perp walks. Yes, this happened in England, but it is a first step and I think we are all hopeful that those who are responsible here in the United States and have broken the law will also be held to account.
Dr. Gina
Right. Well, it is interesting because we are seeing perk walks, not just here, but around the world, actually, and we'd sure love to see some here in America. This is very interesting for so many reasons. You know, there was an interview a few years ago with Prince Andrew where he completely denied everything that we're talking about this morning. And of course, his mother and I'm not into the royals on an ordinary, in an ordinary circumstance, but today I'm very into the royals because people in the UK that are my friends are saying this could actually end the monarchy. That's how big of a deal this is. And it's not just Prince Andrew. It seemed like the Queen protected him for a while. It seems like the King, his own brother, is not going to protect him at all. And that is very interesting that England, that the UK would have this kind of a reaction that we're kind of waiting for here in America as well, for some of this to come down on some of the people, because, again, these are children. Now, the other interesting thing to note, the only other thing I can think that you didn't mention, Terrence, is that he had denied he was involved with Giuffre. And Giuffre, you'll remember, is the woman who was abused talked about it pretty openly at a certain point, see, said, hey, I'm not suicidal. Like a lot of people today are saying that are talking about this pretty openly. I'm not suicidal, by the way. And Odin, by the way, committed suicide. So it is extremely interesting because he has. That is what he is charged with. And there are so many things that I think will come out in this. And I think it might mount some pressure, David, for the American Department of Justice to follow suit in some ways at Least I hope so. The other really interesting thing that's happening is it is rumored, strongly rumored, that and reported actually in major news sources that it looks like Starmer will also be caught up in this eventually. So we can look for more news to fall on this. David?
David Brody
Yeah, I'm glad you brought that last part up. I mean, this could be potentially the beginning of the end of Keir Starmer in the uk. I mean, remember, it was Peter Mandelson, the ambassador that he appointed. And of course, Mandelson had all these ties with Epstein. So everybody's like, wait a minute, how did you not know about that? Keir Starmer. And so all of these documents are going to be released about the process of even putting him in or trying to put him in as ambassador there in Britain. So that's going to be interesting. Look, a couple of things. First of all, I thought it was interesting that UK police, when they made this announcement about the arrest, they never said his name, Prince Andrew's name. They said a man in his 60s, which I thought was interesting. We do know it is indeed Prince Andrew for sure. But look, I mean, this is the brother of the king. I mean, modern history, this is huge. It's the brother of the king. Now, having said that, the royal family for many, not just decades here, but I'm talking about back into the king, Henry viii. And you can go back even further than that. I mean, there's plenty of scandals surrounding royal families in the uk, no doubt about, but in modern history, an actual arrest of the brother of the king, we haven't seen it. So this is huge. One last thing to point out, my understanding is that these charges, whenever we find out exactly what they are, will involve the fact that what Prince Andrew was doing at the time was forwarding emails and confidential documents to Epstein because he was trade envoy for the UK and so he was giving Epstein sensitive information. That's the misconduct in public office part of it. Don't think it's going to have anything to do necessarily with the sexual allegations and all of that. It may. I'm not saying it won't, but I'm saying I think that is what they're looking at specifically, guys.
Terrence Bates
And just to add, again, one of the allegations is that the former prince did in fact traffic young girls or women into England for sex. And the implication is that it was with the help, with the assistance of Jeffrey Epstein. That's one of the allegations out there. And we of course will see whether law enforcement there in England will also continue to follow that Lead.
Dr. Gina
And ultimately, yeah, I've got one more thing too. Go, David.
David Brody
Yeah, I was just going to say, let's remember to Gina's point about the monarchy and how it could, you know, this idea of taking down the monarchy. The monarchy turned a blind eye to this for a while. Then they kind of said, hey, well, we'll wait and see how all this shakes out. And that went on for years. And then finally, basically, Prince Charles. I said, Prince Charles, Sorry. King Charles now was forced to send his brother, as they like to say, to a. What, a shack in the countryside? Okay, it's an estate, it's not a shack. But the point is they had to send him away. He was kind of drag, kicking and screaming on all of this.
Dr. Gina
Dr. G. Yeah. One other really interesting point of this is projecting a little bit. If Starmer were to be brought down with this, that would be particularly interesting from a geopolitical standpoint, because, of course, he's leader of the Labour Party, and if he were to be brought down with this, this might us in a more conservative governance, which has been such a problem, especially with all of the Islamism that has sort of pervaded British politics of late. I was there. I think I told you. I saw it with my own eyes. It was shocking. So it's very interesting to think of what could happen on a grand scale from a political perspective because of all of this as well.
David Brody
That's a great point.
Terrence Bates
Yeah. David and Gina, we, of course will continue to follow the fallout of the Epstein files, be it abroad or domestically. Another big story that's developing. President Trump is going to have his first meeting of the Board of Peace. It's going to happen in Washington, D.C. here, probably within the next hour or so. And once the President takes the podium, we of course will take you there to D.C. so we can hear his remarks. While this is a huge step forward, particularly in terms of securing Gaza, there are a number of storylines I think that are outstanding. Specifically for me, the fact that a number of European allies are not going to be part of this meeting and have refused to join this Board of Peace. David, what do you make of all of this? What are you looking forward to as this Board of Peace convenes today?
David Brody
Well, I hate to be the wet blanket on all of this, but let me please indulge myself and be the wet blanket for a second, which is this. You can't have a Board of Peace until you have Hamas disarm. And it's really that simple. And Hamas has not disarmed. Okay? So let's just be clear. I mean, hamas has about 60,000 AK47s and other weapons, or, excuse me, other guns and ammo and all that type of stuff there. They've got about 60,000. Israel did not do the job, okay? Hamas is not disarmed. So there's no way you can have a board of peace, go in with this international stabilization force, this isf, to go in and actually have a new governing body when you have Hamas controlling Gaza. Hamas still controls Gaza. They are crippled, they are neutered, call it whatever you want, but they're still there and they're armed. So until that gets resolved, this is going to be interesting. It'll be interesting to see how it all shapes out regarding humanitarian aid and, you know, the Palestinian governance of this somehow, some way, whatever, we'll listen. But you got to disarm Hamas, Gina. That's the number one goal here.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. And I do want to get to the Bible verse. But I want to say one other thing that's very interesting to note, and that is in light of all of the controversy with Kerry, Poojon Bolar and the faith and President Trump's Faith Board and all of the things we saw, the fireworks we saw, I can't remember if it was late last week or early this week. It's all running together at this point. Very interesting, because her assertion was that Catholics are not Zionists, that it's not in their Catholic doctrine to be Zionists. Now, I'm not saying that's true or not. I'm saying this is what Kerry said in the Faith Board. And it's very interesting then that on top of that, on the heels of that, literally, the Vatican then said they would not be part of the peace board. So that's another. Just an interesting little tidbit. If you're following all of this sort of undercurrent happening out there in social media and the political world, let's get to today's Bible verse. It's from Habakkuk, chapter 3, verse 17 through 19. Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, Though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food. Though the flock may be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength. He will make my feet like deer's feet, and he will make me walk on high hills. I love that. If you've ever been to Israel and you've seen the gazelles run through the mountains. You totally get that. You totally get what they're talking about right here. Love it. All right, coming up, we check out the hottest headlines from the RAV newsroom with Terrance Bates. Also later, California Governor Gavin Newsom made a shocking comparison regarding President Trump's use of law enforcement across the country. How do cops feel about that? We ask one sue on American Sunrise.

This news break is brought to you by amac, association of Mature American Citizens. It's the Board of Peace. Doesn't it look like a Jerry Lewis telethon? Is it just me? The phones are live, everybody. No, I'm just kidding.
Terrence Bates
All right.
David Brody
That's the Board of Peace. Take a wild guess who the chairman of the board is, by the way. That's right. Donald J. Trump. And this event will be at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. My goodness. Not shocking, by the way. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. President Trump about to speak, actually, about 9:00am Eastern here, so we'll take that when it happens. First, though, T. Bates standing 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.
Terrence Bates
David just mentioned it. The story we're watching right now, dozens of world leaders and national delegations in the nation's capital preparing to meet with President Trump. Trump for the inaugural gathering of the Trump Board of Peace. In fact, today's meeting is going to happen at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.
Dr. Gina
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
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, as well as Qatar. Other attendees will 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 Pope Leo has also turned down President Trump's invitation to join the board. The commander in chief will continue his busy day with a visit to Rome, Georgia. He'll visit Georgia's 14th congressional district as early voting in a special election to fill the seat vacated by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene continues. During today's stop, 47 will speak about the economy, inflation and other key issues. He's also expected expected to visit a steel facility there. In that district, Mr. Trump is endorsing prosecutor Clay Fuller in a crowded field of candidates to replace mtg. The race is expected to go to a runoff, though, since it's going to be difficult for any candidate to win a majority with nearly 20 candidates in the race. And don't be surprised to see Georgia's Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones alongside the president today. Jones running for governor and already has Mr. Trump's endorsement. President Trump is also again endorsing Clay Fuller in the 14th congressional district. There in Georgia, eight skiers are dead and the search is on for one more who is missing following an avalanche near Lake Tahoe in California. Authorities are calling it the nation's deadliest avalanche in nearly a decade. The good news is six skiers were rescued after being subjected to the avalanche conditions for some five hours or even closer to six hours Tuesday. Well, this morning questions are being asked about why the three day trip even took place on Sunday given the forecast for a major winter storm. The Sierra Avalanche center even issued an avalanche watch that morning. Since then, between three and six feet of snow has fallen. The victims include seven women and two men between 30 and 55 years old. While their bodies have been located, recovery crews haven't been able to get to them because of the extreme conditions. That leads us to our forecast for the day. Weather Nation meteorologist Tracy Anthony joining us. By the way, just a quick reminder, go to our various social media platforms, be it get a rumble, YouTube, let us know where you're hanging out and Tracy might hook you up with a hometown forecast. But let's focus on out west. That story is just crazy, so heartbreaking. But it goes to show just how much snow fell in that area. Tracy?
Dr. Gina
Yeah. You know, the reports as of midday yesterday, the highest report I had seen was 73 inches of snow. That's just this week. And unfortunately, yeah, and unfortunately they have another system that's going to be pumping in more moisture throughout the day today. So they had a little bit of a break, but it's going to be this heavy wet snow. This is, you know, that snow that makes you sweat when you get outside to shovel. This causes health issues, things like that. And when you get, you know, five, six feet of this snow on top of a weaker snowpack, that's why we are experiencing widespread avalanche concerns across the intermountain West. And it's not just areas of California. I know there's a lot going on this map. So there's a lot of watches and warnings across the country. But the blue areas here are where we do have avalanche warnings. So it's the Colorado Rockies as well into areas of Utah and then the Sierra Nevada Range as well. But look at that moisture. It is just starting to roll right back through areas like the Bay Area dealing with rain. And we're starting to see that snowfall pick right back up. So from coast to coast, this is your typical spring like pattern. If I'VE ever seen one because we have a grab bag of weather going on out west. It's the snow across the Central Plains. It's heat and fire. And now today we have a risk for strong to severe thunderstorms. And Terrence, we do have a threat for tornadoes. So we're getting back into that severe weather season. Want to make sure everyone is able to stay weather aware so you can always download the Weather Nation app also, Terrence.
Terrence Bates
There you go folks. Always good to talk to you. Tracy. Good information there. And as Tracy said, folks, download the Weather Nation app and stay current with all the weather conditions no matter where you are. Appreciate you, Tracy. Well, folks, just a reminder, we're awaiting President Trump's arrival at the Board of Peace meeting which is happening in about an hour, just a little bit under an hour in Washington, D.C. we'll of course take you there live the moment it happens. Here's a live look at the room as the attendees will be showing up here in short order. But next, the search for Nancy Guthrie is continuing. What new leads are coming in? We'll have updates for you ahead. Right now though, a quick look at this day in history. It was on this date in 1945 that the United States Fifth Fleet launched the invasion of Iwo Jima, sending more than 30,000 U.S. marines into one of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of World War II. American forces faced ferocious Japanese defenses, fighting yard by yard to secure a strategic island that would help turn the tide in the Pacific. Nearly 7,000American service members would lose their lives in that campaign, but their sacrifice delivered a critical victory for freedom. The heroism of those Marines, including the raising of the American flag on Mount Suribachi, remains a powerful symbol of courage, patriotism and the unbreakable spirit of the United States Marines. More American Sunrise coming your way in two minutes.

You see that microphone right there? President Donald J. Trump will be at the mic at 9am Eastern. We will cover it live. That's the Board of Peace. Big meeting, the first one today in Washington. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. All right. The FBI has now reached out to Mexican authorities as part of the ongoing search for 84 year old Nancy Guthrie, who vanished, of course, from her Tucson, Arizona home early February 1st. Investigators say they're sharing information with Mexican federal law enforcement amid speculation she may have been taken across the border. But authorities caution. Hold on. No confirmed evidence that she's crossed into Mexico. Her home, by the way, is about 70 miles or so from the Mexican border. All right, let's bring in the law enforcement analyst. Excuse me. Also a crime crisis analyst and retired LAPD officer. That would be Eric Arif. Thanks for being here. So authorities now offering, by the way, a $200,000 reward to help find Nancy Guthrie. It was 100,000. Now there's an anonymous donation of another 100,000. What's going on here? What needs to happen for a breakthrough? Because this case, boy, it seems like it's going towards a cold case pretty quickly. Yeah, there's a few things that are happening behind the scenes. You're going to see that, that the, the DNA testing is continuing. Remember when you came across the border from 2019 to 2023, you had DNA testing on all those across the border. So if this person has any relationships with those that came across legally or illegally across the border, there is DNA on file outside of the CODIS database. So they're checking the other databases next. You know, if you take a look, the way he operates that flashlight, when you see him right about there as he picks up and comes across, he turns it off and on with his mouth. That's very important because when he walks up to the door, his hands are free. Why is he choosing to put it in his mouth? That's a very big component. And the reason is because he's probably one who works on cars. That's a normal thing with those thick black gloves and it's the way that they hold flashlights. So I would look at it as either a hobby, avocation, maybe even his occupation.
Dr. Gina
Wow.
David Brody
That's different. Interesting.
Terrence Bates
So I feel like it'd be cool
Dr. Gina
if the sheriff could actually say that instead of you, but I'm just. Sorry.
David Brody
Exactly.
Terrence Bates
Dr. Jean, I think we were thinking the same thing. Why do you think there's been this holdup? Dr. Jean, I'll kind of follow your train of thought. Why do you think or do you see the law enforcement and the investigators there in Tucson having dropped the ball? Because it seems to us, I believe, that you've broken down some clues that shed more light on who the perpetrator may be more than what we feel like we've gotten from law enforcement there in Tucson. Is that accurate, Dr. Gina? Am I misquoting you there?
Dr. Gina
No. Yes.
Terrence Bates
No. Okay, there you go. I think we all agree, so go ahead. Sorry.
David Brody
I think you'll see the way that they are operating in Tucson. The sheriff, I made this comment before and I think it's a little bit. Certainly might hurt his feelings. But you can take a three day out of the academy. Los Angeles police officer and their ability to operate in an environment of press. The press information office is much better than his. I'm not sure why. He's a politician. He's had to do debates and other things. I think they just got in over their head. And then this little match between each other, the FBI and the local sheriffs shouldn't exist, but it does. There's little respect for the FBI across the country, especially lately.
Dr. Gina
So God forbid that this ever happens to anyone. What's your advice? Cuz it just, you know, we've watched so many botched investigations where police error leads either to, like you said, no ends here or problems where the whole case falls apart in court and the person can't even go to prison for what they did. So how do you advise families? You find yourself in this situation and you immediately maybe feel like, hey, because competencies are different. There's how many thousands of police departments all across the country, competencies are different. Right. Some Some police departments have probably never worked a case like this. And so. So what do you do when you're the family and you want this handled? Well, where do you go first?
David Brody
Well, there's always been a private, almost parallel investigation, I would bet. I think Savannah's gone out, hired her own team. You can see them around, they're handling security. But I'll bet there is also a parallel investigation, probably working with law enforcement, former FBI, former law enforcement folks, and most agencies, like you said across the country. This isn't a normal thing if it sounds a bit rude, but you know, in a normal case like this, they'll break in the house. If they take her with her, she's found within a mile or two, you know, on the side of the road. So most of the time you're going to see a case like this develop, you know, one or two or three different ways. This is probably the rarest it's ever been outside of the Madeleine McCann mystery in England, if you remember the British girl in the Portuguese area on vacation where they still haven't found her. And you know, you'll see jonbene Ramsey. We kind of think. We don't know. We're not sure who killed the young lady. So a lot of the young girl across the board. This type of investigation is rare anyway. The FBI is going to have a problem. Any prosecution is going to have a problem. Because when they opened up that house, that crime scene and back and opened it again directly for the public and you had news crews, as much as I respect what we do, news crews walking around filming stuff and poisoning the, the contaminating the site, you can't do that. Yeah, but they made some mistakes.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, they did. But again, what do I do if I'm the family and I see this because not everybody can go hire their own personal private like Savannah Guthrie can. Not everybody can do that. So you're a normal family, normal middle class family, and this happens to you, missing, God forbid, child, mother, whatever. What do you do to avoid this?
David Brody
Yeah, you have to stay in front of the media today with social media, with candlelight visuals, bringing out local media. You're going to have to be your own advocate. Law enforcement has hundreds of other things to do. This is a priority, both a priority by the president and the state and of course local. When the president came out about four days in and said, it looks like we might have something soon, a solution soon, that's about when they had the video evidence. And the problem is this, you know, from a side note, from A business note, when Nest and Google and Ring and others are trying to say, no, we don't retain your data, we don't retain your images unless you have a subscription. And yet, in fact, they did. That's a bit of an issue for those of us that are saying, well, we thought about privacy. So they had to make a choice. If we come out and release this, it's now going to make us look like we've been lying, to which they have been. So they had to bring this spin of, oh, it's very difficult. Oh, it's going to take a lot of time. Not true. They had it quite early and they have other evidence, including I think audio evidence, which is very important and probably hard to listen to. Hey, Arif, can we get your quick take on the breaking news with the former Prince Andrew? Because we were talking about that during the break and you were giving us some ideas of what you think law enforcement might be up to here. So can you do that? We got about 30 seconds or so. Yeah, real quick. Remember, Al Capone was not caught with with because of all the murder and the drug dealing and whatever else he was doing at the time. He was caught on tax evasion. Andrew Mountbatten is not a very well liked person at all, both on the streets of England and in the royal family. I think the King is going to throw him to the wolves. I think he's going to do something where he indicates he's going to step back. But behind the scenes, the King wants him to be punished. There's no love, loss and in addition to that, there's a lot more bad evidence. And I think Andrew's going to plead to something and make this go away, but he will do some sort of jail time. House arrest probably, but for the most part. But still some jail time. The King has to. I think it was Dr. Jean earlier was saying that this could hinder the growth and the transition from Prince Charles to William. I think that's the key. There's a little bit of fatigue there.
Kevin Posobic
Yeah.
David Brody
Got to save the monarchy, right? All right, Aerith, thanks for being here. Great insight. Thanks, guys. Appreciate you as always. Appreciate you guys. Love your show.
Dr. Gina
Thanks.
David Brody
All right, thanks so much. All right, Coming up, a settlement in the Bayer weed killer roundup scandal. Have you heard about this? How much money was paid out? We're have the facts when we come back.
Dr. Gina
Right up the road here, Cape Canaveral, Florida. You're looking at. I love watching the rockets take off from my dock. It's one of the things you can do here in Florida is watch these rockets take off. That's the Artemis. I don't know when it's launching. Colin, do you know it just says soon. He's not too sure. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for joining us. It is time now for today's health news, sponsored by the wellness company. This one's a big one, and the timing is remarkable. Under the microscope today, Bayer has agreed to a $7.25 billion proposed settlement to resolve thousands of lawsuits over its weed killer Roundup. Plaintiffs claim the product caused cancer, including non Hodgkin's lymphoma, and that the company failed to provide proper warnings. Bayer, who brought Monsanto in 2018, says glyphosate that Gina talks about on this show every day is the key ingredient in Roundup. They say it's safe and is proven. Is not proven rather to cause cancer. Well, the agreement still needs court approval. The company has already paid billions in previous settlements as legal battles over Roundup cases continue across the country. I think personally, glyphosate not only causes cancer. I think it causes all sorts of Crohn's and other things. And that data is out there pretty well. But I want to share something super quickly with you. I went home from work yesterday. You guys know I've had two dogs die this year of lymphoma cancer. Went home yesterday. I see a guy out spraying my yard. I said, can you tell me what's in that? He said, oh, don't worry. I'm just spraying your doors and your windows. I don't even spray your yard. Your dogs are fine. I said, can you just tell me the ingredients? So he pulls up on his cell phone. I take a screenshot of it. I put it in ChatGPT. You should do the same thing. That's why I'm telling you this. Put the screenshot in. ChatGPT says all of our ingredients are non toxic. Don't worry, it's fine. It's not toxic to your dogs. Put it in chatgpt. Guess what causes lymphoma in dogs. Can't make this stuff up. So obviously I said, please leave. I know my husband probably hired you to do this and I appreciate you, but you need to leave and please never come back. And then I followed up with a phone call to the company to make sure that he never comes back. Could be what killed my dog. Could be what killed both my dogs. So keep that in mind because if it's doing that to dogs, what's it doing to you? February's National Cancer Prevention Awareness Month. Now more than ever, we want to be asking what each of us can do to lower our chances of cancer. If you or a loved one is battling cancer, want to make sure that no stone is left unturned in the effort to stay healthy. That's where the wellness company comes in. You know the Wellness Company, we have their great doctors like Dr. Kelly Victory and Dr. Peter McCullough on all the time. The Wellness Company and their doctors are medical professionals. You can trust them. They're committed to providing safe, low cost alternatives to big pharma. From ivermectin to methylene blue. Their fantastic new anti cancer product shield so much more. The Wellness Company makes sure you that the promise of the Maha movement is revolution for you and your family. This February, let's take control of our health. Go to TWC Health RAV. Give it an order. That's TWC Health RAV. Use the promo code RAV. That'll save you 10%. Prepare now, don't wait. Let's send it over to David.
David Brody
Fantastic. Gino, that's great that you did that. Very proactive. And that's the key. All right, look. It's been a tragic week in Pawtucket, Rhode island where authorities say a 56 year old gunman opened fire at a high school hockey game. Police calling it a targeted family attack. Officials there say Robert Dorgan, who identified as a transgender female, also went by the name Roberta, killed his ex wife and adult son, injured three other people before fatally shooting himself. Police reveal he entered and then re entered the arena. He then approached the family members and the bleachers. My goodness. He used legally owned firearms during the incident before the shooting. Dorgan posted on X the following quote. Keep bashing us, but do not wonder why we go berserk. All right, let's bring in the president of the American Principles Project, Terry Schilling. Terry, look, I mean we know the deal. I mean these shootings by the transgender community starting to now be off the charts. I mean, it's happening so much more frequently. What's going on? What's the solution? Help us through this. Terry. Good morning. Well, thanks for having me, David. Look, this is America is suffering from an epidemic of trans shootings at this point. This is the seventh or eighth trans shooting in just the past five years. It's absolutely horrific. What's happening is under the Biden regime and before that under the Obama regime, they created this issue. You and I remember a day and age when there was no Such thing as transgender. There was no such thing as transgender children getting sex change procedures or doping kids up on cross wrong sex hormones. Let me correct myself. But we're injecting these people with estrogen, with testosterone, with puberty blockers. We're creating this mental health crisis. And if you criticize it, David, they call you transphobic. The reality is we're not transphobic. We're trans tired. We're trans fatigued. We're trans sick of you shooting up our kids at mass in Minneapolis. We're trans tired of you shooting up Charlie Kirk and our leaders. We are so sick and tired of this mental health crisis. We're sick and tired of the pronouns and the obsession with forcing us to genuflect at the altar of this mental health epidemic and now which is turning into a shooting epidemic of good Americans, of good, innocent people. We have to put an end to it. We have to stop funding this. We have to ban this for children, and we have to give adults the right to sue for malpractice when they find out that they've been misled.
Dr. Gina
Also, Terry Major New York Hospital is ending its transgender treatment program for minors. NYU lan Jones Health announced it will stop providing gender affirming medical care to children and teens. Citing the current regulatory environment, the hospital says it will continue to offer mental health support, but hormone treatments and related services for transgender minors will no longer be available there. This is a pretty big victory. We had the association for Plastic Surgeons come out against their own medical AMA and against their own pocketbooks as well, and say essentially the same things. What's happening here?
David Brody
Well, what's happening is President Trump and RFK Jr. And Admiral Bobby Crow, Christine at Health and Human Services, they're delivering on their promises, right? They promise to stop this trans madness with our children. And just two months ago in December, RFK and HHS held an event where they announced that they were no longer going to provide Medicaid funding for any hospitals or clinics that provide these types of procedures for children. I think it's absolutely the best policy. It's shutting down these clinics. Although I will issue a word of caution. When they say they're going to keep doing the mental health crisis, what that means is they're pausing it. They're going to keep. They're going to lay in wait for a new Democratic president to get elected in 28, and then they'll resume. Because with these hospitals and what 27 states in America have done is they have banned therapists from helping children feel comfortable in their own Bodies. This is called talk therapy, where you want to feel comfortable in your own body. You want to get rid of your gender dysphoria. So they're going to keep affirming, affirming these children in rejecting their sex. Right. This is sex rejection therapy. It's sex rejection procedures. And it all needs to go away because it's all harmful and it's all making this problem worse. And ultimately, it's going to lead to many more shootings.
Dr. Gina
Wow. You know, you don't tell an anorexic they look fat just because they believe it. I think we just have to stay on top of this, keep pushing the proper truth. And what kind of dog do you have, Terry?
David Brody
I have a golden retriever. Right. And by the way, you mentioned that it's cancer awareness month. And I just want to tell everyone, get a colonoscopy. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer in 2020. I went and got checked. At age 33, they found a 7 centimeter tumor in my colon. I had to get a colectomy. You're never too young. Get a colon colonoscopy. Get checked, get screened. It's never too early.
Dr. Gina
And stay away from those glyphosates. Terry, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Glad you caught it early, Terry. Thanks for being with us. Tell your dog thanks, Dr. Gina.
David Brody
I will, definitely.
Dr. Gina
All right. Coming up, Harvard under fire. The university facing backlash for offering college credit to students who help asylum seekers. Critics call it woke activism. How is America responding? We're going to break it down next on American Sunrise. Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's time to stay awake, not woke. And who is woke today? Harvard University. The school is facing criticism for offering college credit to students who help asylum seekers. The Immigrant Justice Lab course allows undergrads to do research and writing for asylum applicants in partnership with a legal nonprofit. Critics call the program a symbol of woke activism and claim it prioritizes illegal immigrants over American students. Let's now bring in Terrence. Dr. Gina and David. Terrence, wanna go to you first on this. I know that you're such a great dad. You teach your girls to work very hard, you know. You know all of that. If they got into Harvard, right? It's still Harvard. It still carries that same Ivy League prestige. Would you want them to go knowing how woke the university has been going in the past few years?
Terrence Bates
You want an honest answer?
Dr. Gina
Yeah.
Terrence Bates
It's going to depend on the scholarship. If they get enough to cover the
Dr. Gina
scholarship, if they're paying his Bills.
David Brody
That's fair.
Terrence Bates
If it covers the COVID the scholarship, then absolutely I would consider it, yes. Now having said that, I also think, and it doesn't really matter where you send your kids, you need to send them to school with a solid background, with a solid basis in the values that you espouse and that you hope they will live by by the time your kid gets to college. They generally have, or should at least have a good sense of who they are and what their values are. That's something that that many people should send their kids to school with already. That starts at home. So I hope that now I'm setting the platform, I'm setting a solid foundation for them to work off of. So to get back to your actual question, yes, I would send them to Harvard, particularly if I was able to get a scholarship to help pay for it. But again, hopefully they would go with a solid platform in place and a solid value system. Place that no matter what they might learn or what the indoctrination at those schools might be, they would be able to reject that and know who they are. David and Dr. Gina, just my two cents on that.
David Brody
Well, look, that's a very honest answer and I appreciate that you're always honest, obviously, but that's, you know, just breaking through and I appreciate that because, you know, we can't leave it to higher education institutions to parent and parent our kids. But that's exactly what happens all the time, right? And they indoctrinate them all that. It has to start at the dinner table. I say the dinner table. I feel like it's Marcus Welby and Fathers Knows Best and Robert whatever his name was. I mean, but we have to go back to a time where we actually, you know, talk to our kids and really instilled in them the values before they get to college. The answer for me is I would send my kids to Harvard if it was 1636 when Harvard actually began. And let me read you from their mission statement. This was Harvard's mission statement. We all know the deal. They were founded as a Christian university. This is in their mission statement from 1636. Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider. Well, the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ. That's from Harvard University in 1636. And there motto at the time, it's no longer their motto. The motto is, and it's in Latin, I won't say it because I'll butcher it, but in English it says truth for Christ and the Church. Gina that's the Harvard I want to send my kids to.
Terrence Bates
Dr. Chu, I'm not mad at that.
Dr. Gina
How far we've fallen. Yeah, I discouraged all of my children to go to college. They all had college funds. And I told them, if you would like to take those college funds and do an entrepreneurial pursuit. Pursuit, please do. Each of them has. And I could not be happier. And they could not be more successful in that. And I. This is coming from someone, by the way, who went to about, I don't know how many years of advanced school. Two master's degrees and a PhD. And I learned that it does a whole lot of nothing except indoctrinate you. In fact, when I wanted to try to help women who were going through unplanned pregnancies to help them, counsel them. After my master's degree, my first master's degree, I realized that I couldn't use anything that I had learned. Imagine that, all that money for nothing. But I also realized I couldn't do anything with the degree or the master's degree until I got the PhD. So I had to get a second master's degree. A PhD because they discriminated against me in school because I was a conservative. My husband was a conservative lawmaker. It's a disaster at the university level. And I would just advise anyone who asks me, I say, stay away from the universities. You can learn just as much on the Internet in about 10 minutes. So that's my take. But I will say, how about Harvard has a program where they help the victims of illegal aliens. Illegal. Criminal. Illegal aliens in this country who have lost children to criminal illegals in this country. And our Open borders program. How about they. They write something, have the students write something to help the victims. Emily, that's what I don't understand. You would only see something like that at Hillsdale College in Michigan, Gina. Not at Harvard University, ever. All right. Interesting discussion this morning, you guys. Coming up, faith and social media. Which religion is the most active online? We have that answer. Next on American Sunrise.
Kevin Posobic
They feed you headlines, cut the frame, say it loud enough, call it fact, change the words, dodge the blame, sell the lies and double back.
Dr. Gina
From Real America's music, the label that brought you Anthem of the Free, the Boss and Somali Waltz comes a brand new anthem built for a distrustful age. Truth Bomb by the Truth Bombers. This song talks about distrust of institutions, media manipulation, government narratives, big tech censorship, cancel culture and ideological silencing. The culture needs a truth bomb and
Kevin Posobic
this track delivers Pre.
Dr. Gina
Save it. Now scan the QR Code or search Truthbomb. Buy the truth Bombers. We've broken records before.
David Brody
Let's do it again.
Dr. Gina
Together.
Kevin Posobic
Boom.
David Brody
God bless the usa.
Kevin Posobic
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
Terrence Bates
Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's now time for our moment of faith, which is brought to us daily by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible in focus today. Christians and social media. A new study shows that Christians are the most active religious group online. According to research by MyCross, Christians have generated over 11 million Instagram posts about their faith, which is more than any other religious community online. While Islam is the most searched religion on the Internet, 21 million people turn to the web each month for answers about Christianity. The Bible also remains the most researched religious text in the world. So let's bring in Dr. Gina to talk about this a little bit more. And Dr. Gina, I think this is great news for people of faith, but I would also pray that there is a spirit of discernment that guides people as they search the Internet, particularly about Christianity and about their faith, because you want to make sure they're getting the right information. There, unfortunately, are false prophets.
Dr. Gina
That's a great point, Terrence. There are, but there are those on tv. There are those who write books. It's shocking to me how many people can sort of masquerade as, you know, all of Christendom and be completely giving heresy, basically. So you're absolutely right, Terrence. But I'll tell you, I do love and I have learned so much out there from people. You know, the great thing is if you work like we do, Terrence, it's really hard to, you know, you're not going to likely get to church or get to watch a lot of church or hear a lot of church or even study your Bible hands on which I recommend the most. I keep one right here with me at all times and one on my dining table, open all the time, hoping that people will just take a look at it in my family. But, you know, it's hard to do. So the great thing that I do love and not everything about social media is great, certainly we could go through that all day. But I love how much I have learned about the history of the Bible, about what Bibles we used to use, because that all changed at a certain point. By the way, the Bible we read today is not the Bible people were reading in the 16 and 1700s. And so, you know, it's caused me, it's intrigued me. It's become an intellectual pursuit. Terrence. I love academia. I spent most of my life in academia. I love the conversations that happen in academia. I miss that. I taught for a long time at the university level. The Bible has become very and I don't mean this to demean it in any way, but it's become an academic pursuit for me. Like, I want to understand the Hebrew, I want to understand the Greek. I want to understand what Jesus heard and listened to and thought and what words meant and real translations and all of that stuff. And social media is such a great place to find all that.
Terrence Bates
No, absolutely. And whether you're on social media or otherwise, I would just encourage all of our viewers to focus on their relationship. You can get to the Bible. All of that's important, but focus on the relationship first and foremost. Dr. Gina, great point. I love the academic pursuit of the
Dr. Gina
biblical word, but I think your point was better. The relationship is what counts. No, that's true.
Terrence Bates
Well, thank you, Dr. Gina. No, you're better. Dr. Gina. No, you' better. Love you, girl. We'll be back with the second hour Americans Sunrise right after this.
Dr. Gina
All right. Coming up on the second hour of American Sunrise, police in the United Kingdom have arrested former Prince Andrew after weeks of revelations regarding his ties to late disclosure graced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. We have the latest developments as they come in. Plus, President Trump set to host the inaugural meeting of his newly installed Board of Peace in Washington today. This follows controversies over which countries have been invited. He is set to speak at the event any moment now. We'll bring you there live when it happens. Also later, US Military forces in place for a possible strike on Iran over the weekend. President President Trump still considering his options as tensions between the US And Iran escalate to new heights. We'll have all those details for you throughout the hour. Those stories, so much more as American Sunrise starts right now.
David Brody
Good morning, America.
Dr. Gina
Welcome to American sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
Terrence Bates
Politics.
David Brody
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.
Terrence Bates
We've got you covered.
David Brody
This is what it looks like to be a patriot.
Terrence Bates
We have to protect the American family.
Dr. Gina
The American dream is still alive.
David Brody
I'm David Brody.
Terrence Bates
I'm terrence.
Dr. Gina
And I'm Dr. Gina.
David Brody
Welcome back to the second hour of American Sunrise, everybody. I'm David Brody coming to you from D.C. let's bring in Dr. G in West Palm and T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning to both of you. You know, when it's my birthday, I just want my family to show up. I don't want authorities to show up. But for Prince Andrew, the former prince, this was his birthday today. Dr. G. And authorities went, knock, knock, surprise. Happy birthday. We're arresting you.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. On your birthday, your friends send you notebooks that call you an old guy. But thank you, Dr. G. That's an inside joke for the those of you who weren't in our audience that day.
David Brody
She sent me this amazing book, a
Dr. Gina
notebook, said something about being an old guy and forgetting stuff on his birthday. But no, this is an interesting circumstance. Certainly nothing we've seen in our lifetime. I don't know that in recent history any royals have actually been arrested. And as our guest so astutely pointed out in the last hour, this is, you know, there's a long standing rift between he and his brother, the King. And this isn'tthere's fatigue, as I believe it's being called, because, you know, the Brits use all those great words regarding the monarchy and this does threaten the monarchy, especially when you consider also what's happening with Starmer, the Labour Party. There's a lot going on in the UK because of what is coming out in the Epstein files. And I think as it should be. And I hope it inspires some in the US to take a lot of action because I'd love to see some heads roll here as well. Terrence.
Kevin Posobic
Yeah.
Terrence Bates
And just to kind of take a quick step back, the allegations against the former prince include that he trafficked women into England in order to have sex with them. And then beyond that, that he shared classified information or you know. Yeah, basically classified information, if you will, while he was basically one of the trade envoys for England, that he shared that information with Jeffrey Epstein. And so that's what's led to this latest arrest. Hopefully it's going to inspire authorities here in the United States to pursue leads here in the United States and to arrest people and bring them up for prosecution. Let's hope. I'm not necessarily expecting that that will happen, but I am hopeful that that will happen. David. I get from here. Yeah, I suspect that you see it the same way.
David Brody
Yeah, I'm not convinced, Gina. I'm assuming you're not convinced either.
Dr. Gina
I'm hopeful. As I'm seeing. Yeah, I am. I'm hopeful. I don't think this is going away. I think sometimes it just takes the base being tenacious to wake politicians up. And a lot of the politicians, I think are well intentioned. They're like, hey, let's, let's focus on the economy. Let's focus on good things. Listen, I am an eternal optimist. I love to focus on good things, too. And I hate seeing the cup half empty and I hate reading these files. But I forced myself. And I'll tell you, as a mother, nothing has ever upset me more than what I have read in these files. And that's precisely why. Not just the victims from yesteryear, but the victims that are currently being abused and tortured and sold into sex slavery deserve it. There are so many. We know of the 350 missing children from Joe Biden's open borders policy. I think, and I, and I just actually wrote an op ed on this. I think the, I think the transparency of the Trump administration has brought us to this point. Let's bring it home, Republicans. Let's make sure these people are now punished. This will be the greatest legacy of a president in recent history. If we can do this, if we can stop sex crimes against our children.
Kevin Posobic
Absolutely.
Terrence Bates
Well, look, guys, we're going to be talking more about this developing story throughout the show. Also waiting for President Trump to take the podium at his Board of peace, the inaugural meeting that's happening in the nation's capital. Here's a live look at that room as it's starting to get a little bit more packed. We'll take you there live again once the president arrives. But now let's get a quick check of your forecast. Weather Nation meteorologist Tracey Anthony's got your hometown forecast as well. Good morning, Tracy.
Dr. Gina
Hey, good morning. We're heading out to Monticello, New York, and we've got a Monticello in Minnesota as well. I hope it's pronounced the same, but 35 degrees today. We have two systems that are going to roll on through over the next few days. And it's going to bring rain at first, but then we're going to have kind of a rain snow mix and some icing will be possible. So these are the areas where winter is definitely reminding us it's not over just yet. So thanks to hard question 15 on getter for that hometown. And then we're going to shoot across the Great Lakes to Superior. We Wisconsin. This is just across the border from Duluth, Minnesota. This is where again, we've got one system wrapping up today. So we're still going to pick up some snow. And then we have another one that's going to work through for the weekend. But want to show you what scenes across Lake Superior look like this week with the low pressure center. And we had very impressive snowfall totals. So low visibility, the snow was dumping and snowfall totals across the Minnesota up to 34 inches. So it's not just out west that's getting inundated with the active weather here as we do have a lot of activity across the northern half of the country. We do have that threat for some strong to severe thunderstorms across the Ohio Valley throughout the day today. And this morning that has been upgraded to a level three out of five severe weather threat. So an enhanced risk and tornadoes will be possible. So, so make sure you're weather aware if you're in that area. But Terrence, that's what's going on from coast to coast and in a few of our viewer hometowns.
Terrence Bates
Thanks so much, Tracy. Appreciate it. And folks, just a reminder, download the Weather Nation app and you can stay current on all of the weather situations, quite literally from coast to coast in your neighborhood. Good to see you, Tracy. Thank you.
Dr. Gina
You, too.
Terrence Bates
All right, let's get you over to David Brody now.
Kevin Posobic
Okay.
David Brody
T. Bates, a busy morning. Let's go ahead and get right to Steve Gruber, who's standing by the host of America's Voice Live. Steve, we've got the Board of Peace about to meet. President Trump is there. He's going to be the chairman of that board. You are the chairman of the board anytime you speak, Steve. So I just want to be clear about that. What's your reaction about what do you think we're going to see today? By the way, this just in, Hamas still has weapons. So you got a board of peace that is trying to deal with the fact that we haven't even completed phase one yet and they're already on to phase two. Let's start with whatever's in your coffee. I'll take two, David. I'll just start with that. Appreciate that. All right, so let's look at the buildup in the Middle East. The Board of Peace is meeting. And yet at the same time, in the last 48 hours or 72 hours, 48 F16s, 12 F22s, 18 F35As, and a whole lot more has been moved into position outside of Iraq. I don't think any of us will be surprised if in the next short period of time, a day or two, maybe not much longer than that, the United States takes decisive action against the regime and Tehran. Look, Iran walked away from the table in Geneva, Switzerland, yesterday and said, we'll be back in two weeks. News flash, you don't have two weeks. Like always, President Trump has given numerous warnings, numerous opportunities to walk away, to make a deal, to sit down at the table. And so you don't have to have any of this. But look, they've been slaughtering civilians in the streets. Some accounts say as many as 30,000 Iranian civilians have been slaughtered. What does the United nations do? Nothing. What does everybody else do? Nothing. Maybe this Board of Peace can find a path forward. But I'm telling you right now, the biggest story waiting to happen is whatever we do in Iran, it's coming. We have built it up. And remember, just in the last few days, President Trump said on more than one occasion, when asked why is that aircraft carrier there, in case we don't make a deal? He was pretty clear about it. He is. He is doing everything he can to leverage pressure on the Iranian regime to make a deal so that there's not military action. But if they do not, if they continue to snub their nose at the United States, as they've done with military exercises in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, something is going to happen. I don't know what it looks like, but I'm going to tell you it will be decisive. The same way it was with Rolling Thunder or whatever that. Whatever that operation was called, not Rolling Thunder, the one year when we took out their nuclear operation. Midnight Thunder. There you go. Midnight Hammer. Midnight Hammer. Sorry, Midnight Hammer. But that's what I want. That's what I'm watching right now. Is this build up because he's not playing anybody that doesn't take Donald Trump at face value when he says, look, we need to make a deal. If we don't make a deal, something severe is going to happen. Anybody that doubts that at this point in Donald Trump's second. Second term is just foolish, I think. Just foolish.
Terrence Bates
Hey, Steve, to your point, I would imagine that's another reason this board of Peace meeting is happening. And another critical element is getting buy in from other regional actors there. Qatar is going to be there. Saudis will be there. Even if they don't get involved, just getting the okay, we understand, we get it, go ahead and move forward. That's also going to be critical, just for regional stability, I would think.
David Brody
Isn't it interesting, though, you bring up Qatar, a place that has housed Hamas, has been a central financing point for terrorist organizations all over the Middle east, and yet we still play cozy with them. That bothers a lot of people. I'm not comfortable with it. Why do we play so nicely with Qatar when they're so deeply involved with terrorism? Thank you. Iran in Syria, the problems with Israel and Gaza, I mean, I mean, seriously, what are we doing here. I mean, I get that it takes. Look, these negotiations are complicated, multifaceted. I understand that. But when somebody is so blatantly playing against what we're trying to do and they're financing it and we're still playing footsies with them, you know, that that raises red flags for me. I think it did for David, too.
Dr. Gina
Footsies. I haven't heard that term in a long time.
Kevin Posobic
Go ahead.
Terrence Bates
I'm sorry, Dr. Dean, I just wanted to interrupt real quickly and say that you're sitting seeing live pictures again from the Board of Peace. These are the world leaders who are onwho are in town, if you will, for the Board of Peace inaugural meeting. They're taking pictures now and preparing. And again, Dr. Gina, we're preparing to hear from President Trump. He was scheduled to speak about 9 o' clock Eastern. He arrives when he arrives and everybody's going to wait for him. But just wanted to update folks on that. Dr. Gina, I apologize.
Dr. Gina
Thank you, Terrence. Steve, just days ahead of this meeting, interestingly, the Vatican said they would not, they rejected the administration's invitation to join this Board of Peace. Officials from there say they declined over certain critical issues. That's an actual quote. Adding that they believe the United nations should be the entity overseeing the reconstruction of Gaza. Just wanted to give you just, I just wanted to set that delicate little flower out there, Stephen.
Terrence Bates
Yeah, well, why do you.
David Brody
You're throwing me red meat. Gina because the United nations has been an abject failure since the end of World War II. Since its inception after World War II, the United nations has not stopped a single war that I'm aware of, has not stopped a single genocide I'm aware of. We watch ships sitting in, in port with food rotting out of. This is your United nations at work.
Terrence Bates
Oh, and by the way, if we
David Brody
don't pay two and a half billion dollars, they're going bankrupt. Oh yeah, let's be a complete failure as a world organization and then send the United States taxpayers the bill. I am not a fan of the United Nations. I think they have failed at their mission time and again. And they should. That's why I root for this Board of Peace, because it might actually have some value. Unlike the United nations that has never, never done anything close to its mission statement.
Dr. Gina
But Steve, what do you make of the Vatican rejecting the president's invitation to be on the board?
David Brody
Let me underline it. Who cares? Yeah, who cares? Honestly, they've been on the wrong side of so many things for so long. The same Vatican that sided with Nazi Germany, that Vatican. And let me just throw it out there for sport. All right. That Vatican is irrelevant in world politics. They're doing nothing to create peace and civility. They talk a lot. And that's the end of that for me. I don't care. We need Donald Trump to lead the world to peace. It's what he's working on and let's see if he gets it done. All right. Steve Gruber, thanks for being here. Appreciate you as always, Steve.
Dr. Gina
Thanks, Steve.
David Brody
All right. Hey, by the way, before we go to break and we are monitoring the Board of Peace. Don't worry about that. Let's change gears, talk Medicare because there's a lot of folks that aren't getting the full story. So most Medicare agents push Medicare Advantage plans even when they're not right for you. So why is that? Well, that's because it's where the money is for them. Seniors are paying the price here. That's what makes chapter different. They walk you through original Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage and Part D with the pros and the cons. It's all laid out so you can make the right call for your health needs. That's really important. Donna said her chapter advisor walked her through every option and explained everything in a way that she could actually understand. Dumb it down for us, please. Plus they saved her thousands of dollars. So if you're on Medicare or will be soon. Oh, tension me. Call 814 chapter to learn about enrollment options and find ways to save. It's free, it's quick and they can review your options in under 20 minutes. Most people wish they had called sooner.
Dr. Gina
All right.
David Brody
More American Sunrise after the break, everybody, as we watch the Board of Peace about to begin. President Trump about to take the podium. We'll take you there lot.
Kevin Posobic
Sam.
Terrence Bates
Welcome back, everyone. Terrence Bates here. Always good to see you. We appreciate you being here with us. By the way, we are keeping an eye on the inaugural Board of Peace President Trump's Board of Peace meeting. It's happening in the nation's capital. President Trump is on site. We're expecting that he'll speak shortly and we will take you there live the moment that happens. In the meantime, we're also continuing to follow the very latest in the search for 84 year old Nancy Guthrie. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos recently issued a public, public plea to the suspect in this case, urging that the suspect just let her go. That's a quote. Joining us now with the very latest is RAV correspondent Kevin Posopic. We're going to check in with him here momentarily. He's been on the ground all week long covering this developing story there in Tucson, Arizona. Kevin, can you hear me? Good morning.
Kevin Posobic
Yes, Terrence.
Terrence Bates
So Today is day 19 of the Nancy Guthrie investigation.
Kevin Posobic
Investigation. And we're down here in the Catalina foothills still. And yes, so the sheriff Nanos is pleading for the suspect to just let her go. Okay. And this comes at the heels of a long and drawn out investigation. So far, we still have no proof of life from Nancy regarding the suspect
David Brody
having her in custody.
Kevin Posobic
Custody. So, you know, we take this with these investigations of a glove on top of clothing and then camera footage that has all come back negative.
David Brody
They're still doing genius genetic genealogy testing
Kevin Posobic
with the blood there through relatives. People are detained and questioned and let go. And their cooperative. And on top of all that, we have this new ransom note from TMZ which states they're looking for an alternate form of cryptocurrency. So this, to me, I would make an educated guess and say that this
David Brody
is a sophisticated person that may be out of the country.
Terrence Bates
They're getting these ransom notes in the morning time. Okay.
Kevin Posobic
And they're encouraged, encrypted as well, so
Terrence Bates
they can't be tracked. And you know, if you contrast that
Kevin Posobic
with the footage that we got and other reports coming in that this person was kind of lackadaisical in their approach of this robbery or going wrong or burglary gone wrong into a kidnapping. So we're kind of. I don't know, I don't know what the right way.
David Brody
I mean, they're working their butts off for sure.
Kevin Posobic
Okay, let's be clear. But now the Mexican authorities have been alerted because she may have been brought over the border per this new letter.
Terrence Bates
And yeah, we're, I mean, I'm taking team Nancy here.
Kevin Posobic
We're, we're still believing, we're still hoping, we're still praying that we will see proof of life in this way. And I think it could be a
Terrence Bates
good deal where, you know, maybe some
Kevin Posobic
of the money gets presented in exchange for proof of life and then go from there. So I believe Sheriff Nan has also said, suggested that she be dropped off
David Brody
at a, a hospital.
Kevin Posobic
Okay. You know, somewhere safe.
David Brody
Because they're also claiming that the media
Terrence Bates
is being involved here getting in the way.
Kevin Posobic
So, you know, we're, we're, we're developing all kinds of different angles of the story here down in the field. So I will keep you guys updated
David Brody
for sure about this as we continue
Kevin Posobic
on into week three. This is Kevin Posobic, field correspondent from rav. Thanks.
Terrence Bates
All right. Thanks, Kevin. Appreciate that. Reporting from on the ground there in Tucson, Arizona. Coming up, a $5.4 billion budget, budget crisis and Mayor Zoran Mandami saying that Albany has a choice to make tax the ultra wealthy or force New York City to hike property taxes on working families. The high stakes showdown over who pays is next. We're also keeping an eye on the Board of Peace meeting happening in the nation's capital. President Trump is on site. We're expecting that he'll be taking the podium at any moment. The moment that happens again. We'll take you there live to hear his response.
David Brody
Remarks in person.
Terrence Bates
Welcome back, everyone. We're getting ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, but we're also keeping an eye on the nation's capital where the inaugural meeting of President Trump's Board of Peace is set to get underway shortly. As you can see, the various delegates and representatives are already making their way into into the room. President Trump also on site with many of the other world leaders who are participating. Stand by the moment President Trump takes the podium and speaks. We will take you there live. In the meantime, here's a quick look at the futures markets not looking so hot right now. The dow S&P 500 and the NASDAQ and pre market trading in the red, all of that can change quite literally at the stroke of a bell. So the moment, the, the moment the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange rings, we'll take you there and let you know how the markets are looking. First, let's get you over to Dr. Gina. Dr. G. Good morning.
Dr. Gina
Good morning, T. Thank you so much, Terrence. In New York City, Mayor Zoran Mamdani calling for massive tax hikes not just in his city but throughout New York state. In a recent address, the mayor says Albany has two choices. Raise taxes on the wealthy or he will hike property taxes while raiding emergency funds. Socialist mayor claims that the failure to raise taxes on the wealthy pushes the burden rather directly onto working and middle class New Yorkers. Here was Mamdani earlier this week.
David Brody
Would rather do is ensure that they remain as they are so that the city can be on firm financial footing.
Kevin Posobic
However, in order to get to this
David Brody
point of closing the gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year, we are forced to raid the rainy day fund, the retiree Health Benefits Trust Reserve, and to increase property taxes across these other years.
Dr. Gina
Somebody who warned us about this, joining me now, economist and former Trump adviser Stephen Moore. Stephen, good morning. You're not surprised?
David Brody
You know, this was pretty predictable. I mean, it's like giving a 7 year old a machine gun. He has no idea what he's doing. They weren't able to remove the snow when they had the snowstorm. They couldn't collect the garbage. And now here's a city, by the way, Gina spends almost twice as much per person, per person as virtually any other city. So think about that. Twice as much. And Mandani, the first thing he says, we can't find any efficiencies or savings in the budget. How outrageous is that? I mean, what CEO would do that? And so now he's saying to the people of New York City, you have two options. You know, one is that we're going to have a massive property tax in a city where costs are already out, out of control, or we're going to soak the rich. Well, those are both really bad options. I mean, people are moving out of New York at record levels. The rich, you know, as we've warned about, I talked about this on your show six months ago, the wealthy people will leave just like they're leaving California when they want to have a wealth tax there. So it is catastrophic. We're sitting here in Florida. That's where everybody's coming. And I had a dinner last night and four of the, the people I talked to said, oh, yeah, I used to live in New York. I used to live in New Jersey and now I'm here. And so I hate to see this. I mean, New York's probably the most important city in the world and see it collapse like this because of this idiot socialist who doesn't know anything.
Dr. Gina
That's a great point though, Steve. So New York has always been the most important city in the world, but now we see massive companies moving to places like Florida, Texas, other places. We see the tax base, the wealthy in those in New York and in California moving to redder states. What will that mean from almost a geopolitical perspective in terms of the US Being the financial hub, as New York has always upheld, right?
Kevin Posobic
Yes.
Dr. Gina
Will that continue if it's more spread out into red states? And can Florida support that? Can Texas support that?
David Brody
Gina, this is the single most important story about what's happening in America. It's been happening for the last 10 or 20 years. It's accelerating. People are fleeing blue states in huge numbers. And so Florida, this state that we're sitting in right now, has imported $1 trillion of capital from blue states. $1 trillion over the last 10 years, over the last 10 years, that's happening. And now you asked about, for example, will New York City, will Wall street continue to be the financial capital of the world? I'm not so sure. I mean, it could be Miami, it could be Dallas. You know, Dallas already has, you know, we have the New York Stock Exchange. Now there's the Texas Stock Exchange. So if you want to be the financial capital of the world, why would you have the highest tax on capital? It makes no sense.
Dr. Gina
Exactly. Well, Steve Moore, we love having you.
David Brody
Well, I hope we turn things around. I mean, you know, it's just so frustrating. I live, as, you know, I live in Virginia. We just, we just elected a governor. Abigail Spamberger, who's the darling of the left right now. She ran as a moderate. The first thing she did in the first week in office, like 25 new taxes. That's all.
Dr. Gina
Did you warn them, Steve?
Kevin Posobic
You were supposed to warn them.
Dr. Gina
You were supposed to stop it. Steve Moore, thank you so much for being with us. Let's head back to Terrence in Denver for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
David Brody
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.
Terrence Bates
Join today.
David Brody
Together we can right the course of America.
Terrence Bates
The applause is underway on Wall street at the New York Stock Exchange, which means the bell is going to ring here in short order. And then we'll get an idea of how the markets are looking on this Thursday of trading. So here we go, ladies and gentlemen, the opening bell ringing and the markets are now officially open. Not so hot, at least on the Dow right now. As you can see, it is in the red. All the major indices, the Dow, S P 500 and the Nasdaq are down on this start of trading on this Thursday. But we'll of course, continue to monitor it and hopefully things will end on a much higher note. Still to come here on American Sunrise, the Vatican snubs President Trump's board of Peace just as his first ever meeting gets underway Today in Washington, D.C. we'll talk about why the holy, why the holies see this as or why the papacy, excuse me, is hesitating. And which countries are backing the president's plan to rebuild Gaza. We'll also take you there live the moment President Trump takes the podium. All of this playing out right now.
Kevin Posobic
They feed you headlines, cut the frame, say it loud enough, call it fact, change the words, dodge the blame, sell the lies.
Dr. Gina
From real America's music. The label that brought you Anthem of the Free, the Boss and Somali Waltz comes a brand new anthem. Anthem built for a distrustful age. Truth Bomb by the Truth Bombers
Kevin Posobic
this
Dr. Gina
song talks about distrust of institutions, media manipulation, government narratives, big tech, censorship, cancel culture and ideological silencing. The culture needs a truth bomb and this track delivers pre Save it Now scan the QR code or search Truth Bomb by the Truth Bombers We've broken records before for let's do it again together. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for joining us this morning. We hope that you will hop on into our conversation over on YouTube, getter and rumble. Yes, even you trolls, we still want you. Just remember we control too though. That's the only thing. Time now to take a look at the political pulse of America. The beat today, President Trump weighing potential US Military strikes against Iran, with top officials saying the US Military could be ready as soon as this weekend. Reports say Trump has not made a final decision on whether to proceed. And officials say timelines remain fluid as diplomacy is ongoing. The Pentagon moving personnel and assets ahead of any possible actions. But the White House spokespersons reiterate diplomacy remains the first option. Trump is coming up. It sounds like they're at that Board of Peace, as we told you he would, and here he is. We, we turn it over to Mr. President.
Kevin Posobic
Well, thank you very much. This is a big day and lots of people watching and especially from other countries, the leaders of, as you know, the other countries, because we have a large group of leaders and the ones that aren't here are watching on Zoom. I hope they enjoy it. And the press was. We appreciate it very much. So respectful. You've been so respectful of what we're doing. What we're doing is very simple. Peace. It's called the Board of Peace. And it's all about an easy word to say but a hard word to produce peace. But we're going to produce it. And we've been doing a really good job. And some of these leaders that are with us have helped me very much during just this first year. We have a first year like probably no other ever in our country because we settled eight wars. And I think a night to come, it turned out to be a tougher one. I thought that was going to be the easiest one. But with war, you never know what's easy and what's not so easy. But we've had a great relationship and I've become friendly with so many of the people and I appreciate you being here. These are great people. These are great Leaders and the people that are watching by closed circuit and open circuit in many cases, they're so proud of it, they want it to be open. But they've become incredible friends of mine. And, you know, we rebuilt our country in my first term. And now we're at a point that the United States has never seen before. We broke 50,000 on the Dow. They said that would take four years. We broke 7,000 on the S and P. They said you couldn't do that within four years. It would be impossible. And when I came in, they were all saying if you could get to anywhere close to 40, 45,000, it would be amazing achievement over four years. Well, we hit 50,000 in the first year, and we hit 7,000, which was actually tougher to do, according to the Wall street geniuses. We hit 7,000 in the first year. They said it could take four or five years. They'd be very happy. It would have been a great job. We did it in one, but we're doing. We're doing a great job. Board of Peace is one of the most important and consequential things I think that I'll be involved in. We've been involved in a lot, and really I've been involved in a lot with the people up here. We work together on ending wars with their country. Some of the wars were 32 years long. 32, 34 and a 37. That's a long time. And we ended it in about two days each one of those. But we have some other work to do and we're getting it done. Gaza is very complex. It's been amazing. I want to thank Steve and Jared for an amazing job. Marco is over there watching. Everybody's fantastic. And JD What a job they're all doing. It's a team. I think it's the best team ever assembled, and you see that by the results. So today is a tremendous honor to welcome you all to the United States Institute of Peace for the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace. Very important. I believe it's the most consequential board, certainly in terms of power and in terms of prestige. There's never been anything close because these are the greatest world leaders. Almost everybody is accepted. And the ones that haven't will be. Some are playing a little cute. It doesn't work. You can't play cute with me. But they're playing a little bit. But they're all joining everybody, most of them very immediately. A few that we really don't want because they're trouble, take care of them. But this is the most prestigious board ever put together. You know, I've seen some great corporate boards. I've seen some great boards, period. It's peanuts compared to this board because we have. Virtually everyone is the head of a country other than Johnny, but he's the head of soccer, so that's not so bad, right? Johnny, I like your job the best, I think. And by the way, your. Their World cup has set every single ticket record in the history of soccer. And the history. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. The sales are virtually complete. Nobody's ever seen anything. So congratulations. You made a good decision. We did it together. Thank you, Johnny. Great guy. So I want to thank the many leaders and dignitaries who have traveled great distances and lengths where the. The important gathering that we're at right now. This building was built for peace and nobody knew what to name it. And then Marco named it after me. I had nothing to do with it. I swear I didn't. I swear I had no idea. They said there's a surprise coming. I didn't know that surprise. I thought they were going to give me a lot of money or something, maybe cash. Can always use some extra cash. But I came and they stopped the beautiful beast. I got out very safely, I'm sure and looked up and there it said Donald J. Trump on the building. And when I say that that was. Had nothing to do. Nobody believes it and that's okay. But I appreciated it. That was Marco and JD And a group got together and they did that. And I just thought it was very nice. And it makes me work harder. We're going to have to work harder. We're going to have to make this building much more important. They built. It's brand new. They built it for peace, but nobody occupied it. You know, nobody knew what the purpose of it. But the architecture is so beautiful. And it was with the meeting rooms, the reception rooms. It's really amazing. Who would think that it was built without anybody in mind or anything in mind. And then the State Department took it over. They liked it. Marco came over one day, he saw this. He said this building is great. And he actually claimed it. Right? He claimed it. And that's what he does. Where is Marco? I said, marco, is that true? You claimed this building? You took it away from about five groups that wanted it. It was. That was done very quickly, very methodically, but it was really, really built so beautifully and such a beautiful building. But we worked together to ensure the brighter future for the people of Gaza, the Middle east and the entire world. I think that the Board of Peace, because it's mostly leaders and unbelievably respected people, but mostly leaders of Middle Eastern countries, countries from all over the world. And they've been very generous with money also. And the United States, which I'll say in a moment, is also very generous with money, because there's nothing more important than peace, and there's nothing less expensive than peace. You know, when you go to wars, it costs you 100 times what it costs to make peace. We have a man at the end right there that's smiling because you Learned that after 30 years of fighting, right? 30 years of fighting. We got it done. I want to thank you very much. That was a great thing you did. You and your new friend. They came to my office and they said. He said, I've been fighting for 22 years now. You're there for 23 years. Right, but I've been fighting for 22 years. That's all I've done, is fight this gentleman. And his counterpart was there for seven years. He said, I've been there for seven years. All I've done is fight this gentleman. And we had it worked out in about 24 hours, right? And it's been a good piece. And I think they've become friends. I'm not sure I'm allowed to say that, but I think so. I think they've become friends. Right. Great. Stand up. Stand up. These are two tough cookies, too. You think that was easy, or was it easy? These are two tough people. Good people, but tough people. But, you know, we're in the Oval Office, and we were getting near, but the one was at one side of the room. I have two chairs right in front of the desk, the beautiful Resolute desk. One's over here, one's on the other side of the room. I said, folks, could you get a little closer? Well, I don't. They felt very uncomfortable. You know, they've been killing each other for 32 years. So I say, can you get a little closer? After one hour, they were right next to each other. We made a deal, they hugged, they signed, and we had peace with two very important countries. And I'll never forget it. So they started off a little weak, and they. They ended up really strong. And you can be very proud of yourselves. It was a beautiful thing to see. Thank you. Look at that. Can you believe it? 32 years. Thank you. Thank you very much. But we're honored to be joined today by Prime Minister Rama of Albania. President. Where is President Milei? Another one. I'll Tell you. Where is President Milei? I endorse him. I'm not supposed to be endorsing people, but I endorse when I like people. You know, I've had a very good record of endorsing candidates within the United States, but now I endorse foreign leaders, including Victor Orban, who's here, and others. And I endorsed this gentleman, Milei. He was a little behind in the polls. He ended up winning in a landslide. I just endorsed the Prime Minister of Japan. She was in a tight race, but was probably going to win. And she won in the largest number in the history of Japan. So she likes me a lot. But it was an honor and you're doing great. Oh, look, they're sitting right next, Victor, I think. But ultimately, I think I'm going to end up in doing. Hey, look, as long as it works, it's okay with me. Me. But the endorsement seems to be working in foreign countries, too, so that's good. But nice to have you both, Victor. Nice to have you both. Very proud of you. The Prime Minister, another really just a great guy. Pashinyan of Armenia. President Aliyev of Azerbaijan. I love saying that name now, you know, at the beginning, it was giving me a hard time. Now I love saying it. It's a beautiful name. I love it. His Majesty, King Hamad bin Esser Al Khalifa of Bahrain. Bahrain. Thank you. Thank you. Where are you? Where are you? He's so rich. He can sit there. He can sit wherever the hell he wants. You know, he could sit up in the corner. He could sit up top. You might take a piece of this building, Marco. You'll take 25% of the building for about 6 billion. Thank you. And you've been very generous also. We appreciate it. Prime Minister Hun Manet of Cambodia, raise your hand wherever you may be, because. Yeah. Hi, how are you? Congratulations. That was another one, right? We did a good job with that one. Prime Minister Maud Buli of Egypt, thank you very much. And say hello to the General President. Okay. Prime Minister Orban of Hungary, who has my complete and total endorsement for election. Not everybody in Europe loves that endorsement. But that's okay. He does an unbelievable job. He's done an incredible job on immigration. Unlike some countries that have hurt themselves. But they're working on it. But I just want to let you know you have my total and complete endorsement, and I'm putting it out. I already did, but I'm putting it out again. And you're coming up with an election, and I think you should be good. I'LL tell you, Milei did pretty well. He was a little down, right? And then he was. He ended up winning in a landslide. So that's pretty good. But you're going to do great. Victor, thank you very much for being here. I appreciate it. You run a great country. A man that I really like a lot is. He's definitely tough. I don't want to fight him. President Prabowo of Indonesia, thank you very much. Please, this is a big guy, I tell you. I said, how many people in Indonesia? He said, like 240 million. I said, no, no, say it again. How many? It's a big country you have, and you do a great job and respected by everybody. And thank you very much for being here. Thank you very much, Mr. President. President Tokayev of Kazakhstan. Thank you very much. What a country that is. It's a wonderful country and a rich country. In case anybody has any question, we have some very rich people here today. Today, President Osmani of Kosovo. President, thank you very much. Great, great job you're doing, too. Thank you very much. Prime Minister Sharif, I like this man of Pakistan because there was some fighting going on when I got to know him. And your field marshal. General. Great, great general, Great field marshal. A great guy. And I got to meet the prime minister. And he said in front of our chief of staff, Susie Wells, who's right here, he said, you know, nobody knows this, but I believe that President Trump saved 25 million lives when he saved. When he stopped the war between us and India. Right, Right. You made that statement. They said 25 million lives. Could have been much more, actually, but it's. It was really a beautiful thing. You said that in front of a group of people that was. They walked out. They. They don't think about it, but you're talking about that kind of lives. That war was raging. Planes were being shot down. Right. And it was Pakistan and India. And I got on the phone with both of them, and I knew them a little bit. I knew Prime Minister Modi very well, actually. I got to know Pakistan through a little trade. They were trying to make too good a deal, and I got a little upset with them. And in the end, they got what they wanted, right? And they made a good deal. And I got to like them. The prime minister, the field marshal, who's a tough man, a tough. Good fighter, right? Good, serious fighter. I like good fighters, actually. And when I heard that they were fighting, I pick up a certain newspaper, I won't tell you which one, because it's fake news. Generally. But I picked up this newspaper and I saw that Pakistan and India were really going at it. And then it got worse and worse. And planes were. Many planes were shot down. It was. It was all out. And I called them and I said, listen, I'm not doing trade deals with you two guys if you don't settle this up. They said, no, no, no. That has both of them. They didn't want to do that. I said, no, it has to. If you don't do it, I'm not doing a trade deal. We're not doing a trade deal. And they do a lot of business with the United States. And they sort of softened up all of a sudden. And all of a sudden I read where there was a little bit of a pullback by one and the other, and all of a sudden we worked out a deal, right? But I said, if you fight, I'm going to put 200% tariffs on each of your countries, which essentially makes you not allowed. You know, you can't do any business. One of them, I won't say which one said, no, can't do that. They both wanted to fight, but when it came to money, nothing like money. When it came to losing a lot of money, they said, I guess we don't want to fight. And we solved that deal. And two, three days, right? And we did. We said, these are two very powerful, two nuclear nations. And I don't want to say what was going to happen, but, you know, bad things happen. So, Prime Minister, I want to thank you because that was a big. That was a very big deal. People have no idea. A lot of them say, oh, well, they weren't fighting. They were fighting. 11 jets were shot down, very expensive jets. And they were all in. Both of them were all in. And now they're not. And I think we'll always be able to settle up with them. I really do. I think you're going to have, you know, it's. A lot of progress was made even in the relationship. And Prime Minister Modi also, he's a great man. He's a great guy. They're all great. But I was very proud of it. President Pena of Paraguay is here. President. President. Thank you very much. Young, handsome guy. It's always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn't mean we have to like you. I don't like young, handsome men. Women know I don't have any interest. Good. That's right. That's right. Thank you very much. You're doing a great job, too. His Excellency, Prime Minister Al Thani of Qatar. Just a great man. Please. Of great man and highly respected. And he's working with a man who is amazing. I always say he needs a public relations agency because you do so much good and they have you down as evil. And you're not evil. You help us so much and you're such a good ally. And I just want people to know that. And the Amir is incredible smart, as smart as you can be, a great leader. And he cares so much for the people and he cares so much for the Middle East. So I want to thank you very much and send my regards. Your country has been a great help. You know, surprising to some of the people riding out there, but now they'll start changing their tune because it's true, I only tell the truth. Prime Minister Don of Romania. Wonderful people. The Romanian people are fantastic, fantastic people. Like you're fantastic. And a lot of them come and work in this country and help us in this country, as you know. And it's. They are just really, really solid people. President Mirzy Oyev of Uzbekistan, who is where. There he is. And a friend of mine got one of the most difficult names in history. But that's okay. It doesn't matter. Your country is doing great, you're doing great. And just no problems. Every time I see him. Nope, we're doing good. No problems. And General Secretary Tho Lam of Vietnam. Vietnam is incredible as a country and as a force. It's an honor to have you. A really great honor to have you. A lot of respect, a lot of respect for your country. We also want to express my gratitude to Vice President J.D. vance, who is a fantastic man, He's a fantastic talent. He was a great student. He went to one school, he graduated. You know, most people, if you watch some of the people that were at the event in Munich, they didn't graduate quickly from college. They had everything they could do. There was one young attractive woman. She was unable to answer questions and she didn't do so well like JD did in college. JD graduated in a four and a half year college in two years. And then he went to Yale and he graduated at the top of his class, went to the military grade. But when he went to Yale, there was one person that was marginally ahead of him. So he married her. Can you believe it? He married the person that was ahead. I don't know. I always like to say JD was first and Usha was second because I get a little uncomfortable when I say them. But he's been incredible. He's a brilliant guy and A great guy and he's been my friend. All of our people, we have a fantastic group of people, our cabinet members, everybody, many of them here. But JD has been great. Thank you very much. He gets a little bit tough on occasion. We've got to slow him down just a little bit. On occasion, he says his mind. Now then we have the opposite extreme. We have your friend sitting in the back. Your best friend sitting in the back is Marco. Marco does it with a velvet love, but it's a kill, right? The result is the same. They do it very differently. And Marco, you really did yourself proud 2 days ago in Munich, in fact, so proud that I almost terminated his employ because they were saying, why can't Trump do this? This I do, but I say it differently. But Marco, don't do any better than you did, please. Because if you do, you're out of here. But no, he got it was, I want my guys to do great. And the acclaim he's gotten and the acclaim JD gets is great. We have smart people. And when you see the representatives there, like Gavin Newscombe, he didn't know what he was doing. They didn't even know why. He didn't know why he was there or aoc. She was unable to answer a simple question. And she could have said, well, I'm studying it and I'll report back to you next week. You know, you can get away with that. But she just went, it's actually, I think it could be a career ending answer because for 25 years, anybody running against her, I think Susie is going to use that little piece of stuff. It was not good. It was not good. That was not a natural. So I want to thank jd, I want to thank Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They're extraordinary. I want to thank Special Envoy for Peace, Steve Witkoff, who has been unbelievable. You know, I took Steve because I was a developer in New York, really successful, actually much more successful than Steve. But I don't want to say that, that. I'm not going to say that, Johnny. I'm not. I refuse to say it. But I, I saw something and Steve, Steve's a great negotiator. Everybody loved him. All these developers and they're tough. You know, New York developers tend to be on the tough side. And, you know, most of them hate each other. Like a lot of the people in this room hate each other. You know, sort of natural, I guess. But we're bringing love back into the room like the old days. But everybody loves Steve. Every developer, the worst, most evil people, horrible Human beings, actually, and they love Steve. So I remember this, and we had some conflicts, to put it mildly, in the world. And I said, steve, how would you like to be Henry Kissinger Jr. That doesn't leak? He said, are you a leaker, Steve? No. He didn't even know what the word meant. And it's true. I always say Henry Kissinger, who was one of the great leakers of all time, by the way, Richard Nixon said to him, henry. Henry. Who's leaking all this stuff? I don't know, Mr. President. It was Henry. These are little stories I like telling you, but Steve has been unbelievable. Everybody likes him. Ukraine loves him, Europe loves him. Russia loves him. I mean, there's nothing wrong with this. He goes to see President Putin. Didn't know Putin. I set him up a meeting to see. I said, how's Steve doing, sir? He's still inside. Oh, that was an hour. I called back. Tell Steve to call me when he's finished. I want to find out what the hell is going on. We want to end that war, sir. He's still inside. Three hours. Four hours. They were together for four hours. The first meeting. That's talent. And they get along. I mean, people like or don't like Putin or. Or Zelensky. They get along. Same thing with Zelensky. I mean, they all love Steve, and Steve's doing a great job. That's a tough one. That's a much tougher one. I would have thought that this is an iHeart podcast.

The tone throughout is forthright, energetic, and unapologetically conservative. Panelists exchange a blend of earnest commentary, mordant humor, appeals to faith and American values, and outright skepticism of political and institutional elites. President Trump’s speech is rambling, boastful, and anecdotal, yet resolute on peace and American leadership.
