Dr. Gina
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
David Brody
Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.
Dr. Gina
The American dream is still alive.
David Brody
I'm David Brody. I'm terrence.
Dr. Gina
And I'm Dr. Gina. All right. Good morning. I am Dr. Gina. We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. Let's bring in David Brody. He's in Washington, D.C. and Terrence Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, gentlemen.
David Brody
Good morning, Dr. G and T. Dr. Gina and David, good morning. So, look, let's just get to it. David, you teased it just a little while ago. The House is set to vote on releasing all of the Epstein files today. President Trump even doubling down on that. He said last week, release it all. And then just yesterday, he went back on the cameras and said it again. They can do whatever they want. We'll give them everything. Sure. I would let the Senate look at it, let anybody look at it, but don't talk about it too much because honestly, I don't want to take it away from us. It's really a Democrat problem. The Democrats were Epstein's friends, all of them. And it's a hoax. The whole thing is a hoax. And I don't want to take it away from really the greatness of what the Republican Party has accomplished over the last period of time. And Dr. Gina, this is an interesting conundrum for the president as he wants to keep the focus squarely on the business that's being done. But there are obviously people who want this information to be released. So they kind of know who may have been involved and how to move forward.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, well, it's midterm campaign time is what it is. And so the Democrats are wanting to find anything they can to distract from the good things that President Trump is doing. And President Trump is wanting us to maintain focus. It's so simple. But I'm glad to see that focus in him because he needs that focus right now and that determination. I can't imagine keeping his schedule, doing the things he does, and now having to worry about where you keep the focus for midterms. It's a lot, David, but he seems to handle it.
David Brody
Yeah, look, I mean, the Democrats, this whole thing's been for sure a hoax, and it's been political on the Democrats part. They don't give a rip about the Epstein stuff at all. They had a chance and they didn't do anything in the first term, Trump's first term, excuse me, Biden's term. Having said that, this is a pretty big reversal. I mean, let's be honest, guys. I mean, this was a whole thing where they didn't want, even the White House didn't even want to vote. And now all of a sudden, we're going to get over 100, probably a couple hundred Republicans. We'll ask Congressman Mark Alford in a second. I think it's going to be pretty unanimous on the Republican side. They're all going to vote for it. And now the Senate, which didn't have any appetite to take it up, is going to take it up. And President Trump in that clip actually just said, when a reporter asked him, the reporter asked, are you going to sign it? He said, sure, I would sign it. So it's gone from let's move on and not even do this to the point where President Trump's going to sign this bill into law. It's just a fascinating reversal.
Dr. Gina
Well, let's get to today's Bible verse because that's what actually matters more than any of this. It is John 7, verse 38. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers, living water. I love that. I love any verses about water because you guys know, that's where I'd like to be. 247 House Republicans set to nearly unanimously, as David Brody just said, vote to release all of the Epstein files. The New York Post reports that the documents could reveal details about Epstein's associates, his finances, other operations. Supporters say that making the files public will provide transparency and long awaited answers. The clock is ticking as the vote is tentatively scheduled for as early as tonight. For more, let's bring in Congressman Mark Alford. Congressman, we've been talking about this for weeks with you. It sounds like this day is finally here. Can you confirm this report? How will you be voting? And will this finally, once and for all, put this behind us?
David Brody
Well, good to see you guys. My verse for the day is John 8:32. You should know the truth and the truth shall set you free. I think we're going to be set free from this big, major distraction that's been hanging over the Trump administration. Frankly, Congress now for what, eight months? I advocated for full transparency early this summer, in July, the president came out in, I think mid July and told Pam Bondi to release this information. On September 3rd, we voted in the House on another bill to release this information to get it over to the Oversight Committee. That's what the Justice Department did. This has been going on way too long. The Democrats proved just last week that this is a political stunt for them. They are trying to create a distraction for the administration to slow the America first agenda. Tim Burchett yet last week before we left to go back home, called for unanimous consent, meaning just by a voice vote to release these files. And the Democrats blocked that. That is proof that they just want this as a distraction. We're about to see the truth and it will set us free. Well, just to Be clear, the reason they said no is they wanted a roll call vote, right? I mean, they wanted to actually see who's going to vote and who's not going to vote for it. Yeah, but, but that, that the only reason they wanted that, David, is so that they could have a gotcha moment for those who possibly might vote no. I don't think there's going to be many people voting no today. That's all political. If they really wanted the truth to come out, they. A voice vote, unanimous consent would have been good enough. Yeah, no, I hear you on that. Hey, let me move on to what's going on between the president, Marjorie Taylor Greene. I mean, we gotta discuss it, obviously. I don't know what you wanna call it. A spat, a feud, whatever feels like a distraction at this point. How distracting is it to the MAGA movement? And have you grabbed any sort of antacid Alka Seltzer? Toms, which one is of your choice here? I'm just curious. Well, I probably at my age could use a little bit of that. I saw Marjorie and Speaker Johnson sitting in, in the House chamber yesterday just having a one on one. I don't know what's going on and to be quite frank with you, I really don't care. My singular, and I'm not trying to be flippant or ignore your question, my singular focus right now is getting the remaining nine appropriation bills done. That is why the people sent me here to represent them. Marjorie has been quite vocal in the past and now she's saying that she doesn't want to be, as I think she used the word, toxic. I welcome that. We, we are, for the first time in the three years that I've been here, I think, really gelling as a conference. We're having our first conference meeting here in about an hour. We haven't been together in six weeks. And so we've got to realize that we've got to put some of our differences aside and get on board with the America first agenda and get this done for the American people. Get our appropriation bills done, get back to regular order, start reducing our deficit, and let's get on with it, folks. Congressman, since your singular focus is on passing those appropriations bills, I want to bring your attention to this political headline which says the House GOP committee leaders are going to hold health care brainstorming sessions. The focus likely will be on Obamacare subsidies, which will very well be a huge part of the negotiations moving forward in order to pass those appropriations bills. This headline goes on to also say that you probably shouldn't rule out health care vote by the end of this year. Can you kind of give us some more insight onto what might be happening on that front and how critical the Obamacare subsidies are going to be in moving forward towards that January 30th deadline and getting all those subs, all those appropriations bills passed? It's clear we have to do something. I don't know if it's going to get done by the end of the year. The Democrats broke this. They need to buy it. They came up with Obamacare which was doomed to fail from the very beginning. They knew that because they wanted universal health care. That being said, there are a lot of people who don't really realize that these subsidies were temporary. They were for Covid only the Democrats put the expiration date that wasn't on the Republicans. That being said, these listening sessions will happen with we have 27 legislative days now to the end of January where the continuing resolution expires. Once again, I do not want to have our backs up against the wall facing another potential shutdown that would not be good for us. So we're going to be talking about this. The Energy and Commerce Committee and the Ways and Means Committee will be discussing this. It's got to go through regular order. Whatever we do, we can fix what the Democrats broke, but it's going to take some time. It's not going to happen overnight. Congress at the moment.
Dr. Gina
Go ahead.
David Brody
I'm sorry, Dr. Gina, I'm just curious really quickly at the moment and you said there's 27 legislative days, but do you think our backs are going to be and when I say our your backs will be up against the wall again leading up to January 30th and getting these appropriations bills passed and not being in another situation where you'll be talking about a continuing resolution. There will be some pressure. We can put these together and there's already talk about this now. I was in a meeting with our chairman Tom Cole and the Appropriations Committee, several appropriators last night. We're having another meeting later this week with the full Appropriations Committee, the Republicans anyway on the strategy to to form some sort of mini buses. Now tech in the past we have not liked many buses. But if we can group Defense, labor and health and some others together that make sense to get these passed, I think we can get the votes, get people on the board. If there are any leftover that we can't get past those individually may have to be done through a continuing resolution. But my personal hope is is that we get these done.
Dr. Gina
All right, Congressman, well, put me on the short bus because I really want to make sure that we don't spend all this money. I'm so tired of the spending, Congressman, and I really hope Republicans understand how tired the American public is spending.
David Brody
Dr. Gina has some great news for you. We're making cuts in every sector of the government set for Department of Defense, Homeland Security and military construction, Veterans Affairs. We are making significant cuts in all areas. So we're on the right track. We're not going to solve this deficit problem overnight, created largely in part because of the inflation that Joe Biden brought about. But we are making significant gains on reducing our deficit. By the way, on a separate note, can I just say I'm distracted by the suspenders. I absolutely love that look. Just so you know, actually my Larry.
Dr. Gina
King look, I was noticing the very creative color combination, like the the hunter motif kind of Thanksgiving going on. Impressive. Have a feeling the wife had a lot to do with it. But nonetheless, Congressman Alford, thank you so much for being with me.
David Brody
I say you look nice, sir. Well, thank you. You look nice. Keep it coming, keep it coming.
Dr. Gina
Have a good one. Go. Cut. Slash and burn, Congressman. Slash and burn. All right, we take you next to the White House for the latest regarding the administration. The Epstein files vote. Also later, violent protests broke out in Mexico City over the weekend. Who organized them? Who could be finding them? We're going to take you across the border soon as American Sunrise continues.

I'm David Brody, by the way. Join us on YouTube getter rumble, the chat were there. Okay, I'll be honest. I have not been there. I'm going to get there. Once again, the guilt setting in. Coming up, we're going to talk to Oscar Elblue Ramirez down in Mexico. There are some protests that got out of hand in Mexico City. We're going to explain what that's all about. Boom. There's some tear gas. What's going down first, though? T. Bates standing by with our next guest. And it's all sponsored by amac. The association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice for Americans 50 and older. AMAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today. Together we can right the course of America. All eyes will be on Capitol Hill today as the House is set to vote on the discharge petition to release all of the Epstein files. President Trump calling on Republicans to vote for that measure, saying there's nothing to hide. 47 also saying that it's time to move on from this Democrat hoax perpetrated, excuse me, by radical left lunatics. So what's the mood at the White House this morning leading up to today's vote? Well, the man with the answer would be RAV Chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn. He is at the White House this morning Brian, I am curious about the mood there at the White House, but also the o' Keefe Media Group is reporting that if the files are in fact released, the names of any Republicans would be redacted while the names of Democrats that are named in that file would stay public. What are you hearing on that front and the others? Good morning, Terrence. I have not heard anything in regards to that, but ever since President Trump leaned into this and said let's fine, let's get this to the floor for a vote, urge fellow Republicans to vote. I do see for the first time in a long time, Terrence, that we're going to have all of Democrats and all Republicans coming together to vote on the release of these files. Now that vote happens later today. I know at 9 o' clock this morning at the Triangle outside the Capitol there is a press conference with some of the victims there and some of the supporters, Thomas Massie and others that support this discharge petition. But this is one thing that I think President Trump has described this as a distraction to the Trump agenda and it's been something that Democrats have used and they obviously could have brought this up years ago, but now is delaying it here. And as Congressman Alford spelled out, you know, the reason why they didn't go for that voice recorded vote back last week is they want to drag this thing out. So I do anticipate that vote passing later today and then we'll see where it goes to the Senate. And also since some things are under investigation, there's only so much that can come out of that report. So keep an eye on that as well. And also it's interesting to note that Larry Summers has publicly distanced himself from any kind of embarrassed of his communication with Epstein. So that's the first person that we've seen be mentioned in some of those previous files and emails. So he's stepping aside as well. So we'll see what happens a little bit later today. Yeah, he's stepping away from public and any sort of public appearances and that kind of thing. I would imagine that Chester a little puffed out there in the White House after the United Nations Security Council backed President Trump's peace plan for Gaza yesterday. That seems to also be a pretty big story. It is a big story and President Trump is proud of that vote and said, you know, he's on the chair of the board of peace there in this whole region. So this is something that is a development to restabilize that area, bring some security issues as well. Now obviously Palestinians are pushing back on this and, and are basically kind of not wanting a lot of this to take place. But this is historical vote that happened. You've got, I think Russia and China were the only ones, if I'm not mistaken, that abstained from voting on this. So unanimously voted, I think it was 13 to 0 on this. So as peace progresses there in that region, we'll keep an eye on that as well. Mike Waltz speaking out on it as well as being a good victory for that region and for the US and for really for world peace. Hey, Brian, so I want you to keep an eye out there at the White House for a Rolls Royce with gold plated spinners because that very well might be the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia pulling up to the White House. They are going to be there today and there's a lot that's involved with that meeting as well. Yes, sir. Yes sir. The security is in force here around this area and around the DOJ and also the previous Trump Hotel. I guess we have some dignitaries that might be staying there. He arrived late last night. Now if you're in this area, I would keep the eyes of the sky especially over the White house area. About 1103, 1104, F35 jets planned to fly over the White House as well as I've been told, kind of a horse and carriage, kind of a horse and buggy entrance as well. Don't know what that looks like. That's just what what's been described to me. Now they are limiting the press to cover this. This is on the south lawn so none of that will be visible from the North Lawn that's behind me. But stay tuned for real America's voice. Obviously we'll have all that as it unfolds. Today. They have a bilateral meeting set for around, I believe, 11:45. They'll have lunch and then they'll depart around two, but then come back for dinner later tonight around six o' clock I believe. So a full day here at the White House with the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia rolling out the red flag. Absolutely. Brian Glenn reporting this morning. I'm sorry, Brian, didn't mean to cut you off there. You're reporting this morning from the White House and we'll be checking in with you throughout the day for updates. Brian Glenn, always good to see you, my friend. Good to see you. All right. All right, let's switch things up a little bit, get a quick check of your forecast. Now by the way, we're going to put our QR code up there at the bottom of your screen. Remember, you can always scan that QR code and then join our friends over at Weather Nation. Let's get you updated right now. Meteorologist Tracy Anth. Good morning to you. So look, you know, when you tell me snow, I always go into panic mode because I do not like snow. But there are some places in the country dealing with some snowfall this morning, you know.
Dr. Gina
Yes. So there's a nice swath across the Great Lakes. Denver may have some snow by the end of the week. So we'll talk about that here this morning as well. You may have to get that snow blower out. You know, chances low, but still, it might be their first snowfall of the season. But taking a look across the Great Lakes, we have a system that's working on through bringing in rain showers and even some rumbles of thunder across parts.
David Brody
Of Southern Illinois into areas of Indiana.
Dr. Gina
But notice up towards Detroit, Green Bay, we've got this swath where the moisture is hitting the cold air and that's.
David Brody
Transitioning that rain into kind of a sleet snow mix.
Dr. Gina
So a wintry mix from really the.
David Brody
Twin Cities through Green Bay into Detroit here this morning.
Dr. Gina
So that, that's going to be where we have some trouble spots. We're quiet across the Central Plains and out west, still some lingering moisture. But, Terrence, that's the system that's going to be knocking on your doorstep by the end of the week. So say it ain't snow for Denver.
David Brody
Well, if it knocks. I'm not answering, Tracy. I'm just letting you know that right now I'm not so much. Yeah, I'm not answering. We'll check back with you next hour. Also, a lucky RAV family member is going to get their hometown forecast. Make sure that you log on to our various social media platforms. Let us know where you are. Up next, though, the Trump administration confirmed yet another strike on a suspected drug boat. So how are the cartels planning to respond or work around them? We'll have an update. Well, that's Patterson, New Jersey. I requested it. I wanted to see it again just to make sure I can confirm that that's Patterson, New Jersey. It is. I've decided. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody. All right. Thousands of people gathered in the streets of Mexico City over the weekend to protest crime and corruption. Rav's own Oscar L. Blue Ramirez was there and got the footage that you are seeing right now. Violence broke out. 20 people were arrested. About 100 others were injured. Let's get some more details about this and bring in the man himself. That would be wonderful. RAV correspondent and the co host of Law and Border. That would be Oscar L. Blue Ramirez. Oscar, thanks for being here. We understand this was organized by what like a Gen Z group or groups. Tell us more what's going on. Good morning to you, Good morning to everybody. Just this was the generation C of Mexico that they're sick and tired of the violence and the increased cartel activity in the whole country. They organized it and for the first time in history it was nationwide. It was more than 70 cities protesting against the narco government. And now it is categorized like that in a narco president. They march from this particular area right here that we stand in from the angel of Independence all the way to the governmental plaza and you know, it broke loose. It was a full on confrontation with the authorities. The authorities threw gas, you know, tear gas. You know, it's some kind of explosions that one of them landed over here in my chest. They were throwing rocks to the press. It was completely a full on confrontation. The people are sick and tired. David. You know, this started increasing after the assassination of Carlos Manto, a mayor in a part of Ruapa that it was fighting consistently the cartel and it was asking for help for the president. The president neglected the help to help them to fight the cartel and he was assassinated later on. And it was just a lit up a fire in the whole country. And now you see that it was just a full on protest against the government of Clara Chezbound that now is categorized by hundreds of thousands of Mexicans in the whole country as anarcho government.
Dr. Gina
Mexican politics is so fascinating to me, Oscar. We hear statistics about the number of people assassinated by the cartels, how the cartels play a role in the government. Like obviously the cartels control a lot of government officials. Where are, is there a patriot uprising movement there? And can you speak to the impact that things like Donald Trump being elected, Charlie Kirk being assassinated, the assassination attempt on the president of America and also the massive influx of expats moving into Mexico. What impact does all of that have on the present political situation in Mexico and what do you see as the future?
David Brody
Dr. Gina we saw a lot of these people that they had banners, Trump help us. They have banners that saying Marco Rubio, we need you over here to push the government of Mexico. So absolutely they know that the pressure of the government of the United States has had an impact. Nobody else in history. The Trump administration has exposed the dirty politicians. More than 50 dirty politicians in Mexico have been exposed to the world that they are in cahoots with the organized crime and talking about the influence and the impact that the Gen Z protest has had. It is enormous. It is huge. You know, these are, and it is incredible to see this because these are young men that they don't want to migrate to another country. They don't have to have what the past generations have to do to migrate to the United States, cross illegally and look for another future. They say we have a prosperous country over here. And the only thing that has enabled us to have a prosperous country is the cartel activity and the violence. Why we're not lifting our voice and why we're not fighting this narco government. This was a huge impact. There's another protest that is coming on the 20th of November and it has become an uprising of Mexican people. This is what the Trump administration has done, has given the courage to the right wing politicians, to the conservative party in Mexico, to lift their voice and to say enough is enough and we're going to try to change the country.
Dr. Gina
For a better and I'm so sorry, Terrence. I'm totally doing to you what you did to me last time. But, Oscar, I got to ask what role the media is playing? Do you have conservative media there telling you the truth?
David Brody
You know, there's a few, but, you know, there's a few. You know, there's a few. But what I can tell you what we experienced on this Saturday, we got brutally hurt by the police because they did not want us to record the truth. You know, I got hit with a tear gas bomb on my chest. Got here, I got hit with the rock. Multiple colleagues got hit with tear gas bombs. Also. We got brutally hurt. The people that they really wanted to expose the truth and how they were oppressing the young kids, that they were also brutally hurt by the police because they do not want this uprising. They do not want the people to speak up and to say the reality of what Mexico is going through right now, that we are going through a high level of increase and impact of violence from cartel activity. And the young kids, they don't want this for their future. They want a better future for their children. They want a better future for themselves. And we are glad that somehow the government of the United States has an impact this on Mexico and it has created courage for us to speak up. Wow. So much going on down there. Change is in the air for sure. Makes Mexico great again, for sure. Oscar L. Bloom Ramirez, thanks for being here. Appreciate you.
Dr. Gina
I'm glad you're okay. My goodness, yes.
David Brody
Yes. Stay safe, please. Thank you so much. It's always a pleasure to be with you guys. All right. Good to see you. Talk about going right into harm's way. Coming up, just dealing with chronic pain can be extremely difficult. But how can it impact your blood pressure? We're gonna have details straight ahead about that on American Sunrise.
Dr. Gina
Who wants to go ski with me? Oh, that looks like that's where I want to be right now. Cuddled up next to a campfire, doing the hot tub in the snow at night, going down the mountains in the daytime with the wind on your face, looking down at God's beautiful creation. Gosh, I love Colorado. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for joining us today. It's time now for today's health news sponsored by the wellness company under the microscope today, the links between chronic pain and oddly high blood pressure. Who knew? New this morning, though, a large study in the journal hypertension followed than 200,000 adults for 13 years. People living with chronic widespread pain, pain all over their bodies most days had about a 75% higher risk of developing high blood pressure than those who reported no pain. Short term aches raised risk just a little bit and long lasting pain in one area raised it just a little bit more. The researchers found that depression and low grade inflammation experience explained part of that link, which means untreated pain can quietly strain both your mood and your heart. So talk with your doctor about safe pain control options, a holistic doctor if you have one, and do what you can, including diet, sunlight, strength training and a holistic functional prevention to control inflammation. Because as you know, inflammation always a precursor to pain. For more, let's bring in chief of pediatric medicine for the wellness company, Dr. Alejandro Diaz. Dr. Diaz, how big of a problem is chronic pain in the United States? Just how many people are living with it and what sort of chronic pain is the most common?
David Brody
Hi, Dr. G. Good morning. Thank you for having me.
Dr. Gina
Thanks for being here.
David Brody
Approximately in the United States, 65 million people live with chronic pain. Can you imagine that? Dr. G. That's incredible. And we're talking about like knee pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain. I mean, pain. Actually it's one of the most common causes for seeking medical, medical help. And it's a, it's a chronic problem and it can devastate somebody. They can live, unfortunately, sometimes miserable lives. And obviously chronic pain will lead you sometimes to increase your blood pressure, depression, anxiety and all sorts of different things.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. And a lot of people, unfortunately, pain leads to more problems. Dr. Like, they'll get addicted, for example, to certain painkillers and things. So you really do want to avoid looking only to allopathic medicine. Right? You've got to look to functional medicine. And we understand that at the Wellness Company. And the Wellness Company has a new revolutionary topical product to deal with pain. I'm very excited about this. I have a dog, as I talk about all the time, who has lymphoma. He has chronic pain. And I'm using holistic means that are so much better. This new product, Thera Blue, it is different, it is effective. And tell us why alternatives like TheraBlue can be so much better than, for example, some of the narcotic pain that you're going to get if you just go straight to an allopathic doctor every single time.
David Brody
At the Wellness Company, we are very excited about this incredible compound that we have been able to put together 11 ingredients like copper, turmeric, castor oil, vitamin E, which is very important, and so many other components like menthol and. And so on. And it's a gel that it will definitely will get patients to relieve their pain. It's a phenomenal compound, and I recommend, you know, anybody with pain, I use it. We use it all the time. And it's amazing how easy and how fast people can recover. And if you can, you get rid of pain, you get rid of a lot of different chronic problems.
Dr. Gina
So I'm just going to say this straight up because I know what our audience is thinking. A lot of times, if I have to put it on topically, I questioned its efficacy. Can you speak to that, Dr. Diaz? How is it that it penetrates? Because I know there are certain compounds in it that help it to penetrate with more depth than maybe some topical products people might have tried that were OTC in the drugstore in days past. How is this different with TheraBlue?
David Brody
It is different than so many other products out there, because the combination of this 11 ingredients will help to increase the blood flow, and that will generate to increase the penetration of the topical gel, and that will start to relieve the pain almost immediately. It's incredible.
Dr. Gina
Thanksgiving, Christmas are coming, and we are all getting excited. Tens of millions of Americans will be traveling. Tens of millions will end up sick, unfortunately, because there are a lot of germs were closed inside in colder areas. What are the most common ailments we see around the holidays? And what do you recommend?
David Brody
Well, definitely, definitely, you know, for terrible. And when we talk about pain, I definitely recommend Thoroughblue for anybody. It's a topical gel and they can apply it in any area of the body, especially, you know, back pain, knee pains, neck pain and all sorts of pains. Definitely it will help a great deal.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, absolutely. And I think also keeping some of the wellness company's medical kits on hand during the holidays, especially if you're traveling, you can take the wellness company kits with you as you travel, whether it's in the car. A lot of people are opting for the car these days. Some people are still going on airplanes. But these wellness kits, they don't take up a lot of space. There's a little guide inside that tells you how to use them. And so having those on hand for whatever might come our way is a good idea for over the holidays.

Never mind. David Brody is not coming on the show. I would be talking to myself right now. Coming up, pop star Nicki Minaj and UN Ambassador Mike Walls. These two are teaming up. We'll break it down next here on American Sunrise.
David Brody
Oh, I'm very awake, ladies and gentlemen. This cup is empty. I've had a couple so far this morning. We appreciate you being here with us for American Sunrise. It is time to stay awake, not woke. And today we're focusing on a unique pairing, UN Ambassador Mike Waltz and pop star Nicki Minaj. The pair will soon be speaking on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. While it's posted on X, Nicki Minaj is not only arguably the greatest female recording artist, but also a principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice. I'm grateful she's leveraging her massive platform to spotlight the atrocities against Christians in Nigeria. And I look forward to standing with her as we discuss the steps the president and his administration are taking to end the persecution of our Christian brothers and sisters. Minaj responding herself, writing. Ambassador, I am so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it for granted. It means more than you know. The Barbs and I will never stand down in the face of injustice. We've been given our influence by God. There must be a bigger purpose. President Trump, of course, has threatened action against Nigeria if this doesn't stop. Let's bring in Dr. Gina and David to discuss a little bit more. David, I want to start with you because this is really in your wheelhouse, Dr. Gina. Not that it's not in yours, but, David, as someone, you know who works within Christian broadcasting in general, what is your sense of the sorts of influence and the sort of attention that a Nicki Minaj or other celebrities can potentially bring to this issue? Well, first of all, yeah, definitely in both of our wheelhouses. There's no doubt about that. Both Gene and I, you know, I would say this. First of all, I did not have Nicki Minaj in the White House on my bingo card. I did not see that at all. But look, will it bring attention to it? Of course it will. Especially among younger. Not just Christians, but just folks overall. My guess is there's not tons of Christians that are Nicki Minaj fans. Just a guess. Just a guess. Yeah. And by the way, with Mike Wall saying the integrity of Nicki Minaj. Okay, Integrity and Nicki Minaj, I'm not sure if that kind of goes hand anyhow. It doesn't. I see you Shaking your head, Gina. And I agree with you. So look, strange bedfellows, I guess, look all for common cause. Great. But, you know, to me, it kind of. To me, what I think about is people like Van Jones working on criminal justice reform at the White House, and Democrats and liberals miss a huge opportunity to work with this president on so many different issues if they would just get past TDS, but none of them can.
Dr. Gina
Dr. G. Yeah. Yeah, David, I think you said that. Well, I wish I cared about this. I just don't. I don't buy it. And I listen. I like rap music. I know our audience is gonna go berserk over this, but I actually do like some of Nicki Minaj's music when I'm feeling, like, really rebellious and horrible, which some of us have those moments. And to me, it's an artistic experience, expression. And sometimes I feel that artistic expression. But. So this isn't me bashing Nicki Minaj in particular or anything. And I'm glad if she's taking up the. I just don't buy it, okay? I just don't. These Hollywood stars. What bothers me, fine. If a Hollywood star wants to support something a politician is doing, I think that's great. But it's when the politicians start fawning at the Hollywood stars that I get very nervous because I just see it coming back to bite them in the next campaign. That's the problem. We've seen this over and over again. And you guys, I can count the days. I've been watching this cycle for so long, and so have you, David Brody. And I think that's where your hesitance is coming from, too. They'll say one little nice thing, and the politicians go, ooh, she likes me. And I'm going, no, she doesn't. No, she doesn't. Don't fall for it. That's my thing.
David Brody
Yeah, it's kind of like that same mentality of folks, the conservatives getting and loving the attention from the liberal media. Right. And they want to hold the fold head. Or the unions or the unions.
Dr. Gina
We've seen that throughout our entire lives. Like, they'll go, oh, the unions like me. Let's buddy up to the unions. I'm going, no, they're socialists at their core. They're not free market capitalists. You are supposed to be. Stop sucking up. Yeah, that's kind of where I stand with that.
David Brody
Okay. It's like the Forest Gump. And that's. That's all I had to say about that. I love it. All right, guys, we're gonna take a quick break, but before we do, we're excited to announce the launch of our brand new RAV Ambassadors program. Here's a little preview of what you can expect.

How one group, Decision Point, is trying to do just that and spread the gospel. You'll have to stick around for more of that story.
Dr. Gina
I said, excuse me, you're a guy. I mean, my like pelican.
David Brody
God bless the usa. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American Sunrise. It is time now for our moments of faith brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible in focus today, getting more and more people to believe and spread the gospel. The group Decision Point is trying to do just that. They have roughly 17,000 students coming to them on campuses across the country. And they have released their new book called Set Free. The president and CEO of Decision Point, Mark Hopson, says he hopes young people rediscover the truth, that Jesus is the only way. Let's now bring in the man himself, Mark. Jesus, the way, the truth and the life. I love to hear that. That is absolutely, absolutely amazing. Talk to us more about what Decision Point is doing.
David Brody
Yeah. Good morning. Thanks for having me. You know, since 2002, Decision Point has been on one singular mission. We've been asking God to save the next generation. You know, if you're like me, you look at what the devil's doing to the next generation, you just get tired of seeing the constant barrage of all of the lies. And somehow the devil is better at getting his message to young people and discipling them in his message than we are getting, getting God's message to them. So since 2002, it's been very simple. We've been working to raise up a generation of young Christian leaders to be courageous witnesses for Christ, especially in the darkened scene that is their public high school and middle school campuses.
Dr. Gina
Absolutely. We've been seeing that all over the country. But the good thing, in recent months, we've been seeing headlines that young people are kind of leading the charge on going back to church. What do you attribute to this new sense of curiosity among young people about the Bible and about faith?
David Brody
Yeah, you know, two things. One, we tell people, I think there's, on the one hand, there's nothing new here. Jesus is always fascinating to people. The gospel is always the power of God for salvation. God's word has always been promised to not return void, and his spirit has always been at work. So we've been just amazed for like 25 years now how open young people have consistently been to the gospel and how hungry they are for answers to questions that no one else is asking them. And then at the same time, you know, in about the past year, we really have seen a. Just a dramatic uptick to your point of a revival among young people. I attribute it to the grace of God and really nothing else. We do not deserve awakening in our country. We do not deserve revival in our land. God would be perfectly just if he judged our nation severely for all of our sins. But I've been encouraged to know that, I mean, believers all around the country, all around the world are praying for God to save our land, to heal our land, to bring awakening. And it just seems like over the last 12 months that we have reason to believe that God in his mercy is beginning to say yes to that. And so we want to lean in with all that we have with prayer, with boldness, with more courage to witness, to, say, God, if you're going to give us this grace of an awakening we could not deserve, then we want to do all that we can to pursue it.
Dr. Gina
Absolutely. Mark, we only have a few seconds left with you here, but I do want to talk about the book Set Free. How can that help young people in their journey as they are kind of rediscovering faith?
David Brody
Yeah, the book Set Free. It's online@decisionpoint.org setfree book. You know, we dedicated this book to the next generation saying, hey, if you're tired of the lies and you're looking for someone to finally tell you the truth, then this book is for you. You know, in the book, we look at seven of the leading lies and cultural idols of our day and we bring testimonies of friends of ours. I wrote it with my friend Jamie Bambrook out of Northern Ireland. And we together, we introduce the reader to young people, to seven leaders who came to faith out of various backgrounds, whether that's atheism, abortion, the LGBT lifestyle, the social justice mentality that really is leading people into some dark places today or even Islam itself. And so in the book, you'll, you'll hear people's stories who have come to faith out of these backgrounds and discovered the lies that were there, but the truth of Jesus Christ who has set them free. So if you're tired of the lies or you're looking to how do you stand strong against the lies and for the gospel, then we encourage you to check out the book@ decision point.org set freebook.
Dr. Gina
And you guys explore Northern Ireland. In it. You're talking to an Irish girl. I'm Emily Finn. I have to read this and have you back on the show. Mark Hobson, I really enjoyed our conversation.
David Brody
Conversation.
Dr. Gina
Thank you so much for being here.
David Brody
Hey, well, come check us out. We'll be in Belfast later this weekend.
Dr. Gina
Amazing. Amazing. Have the best time. Love, Ireland. We'll be back with the second hour of American Sunrise in just two minutes. Stick around.
David Brody
Coming up on the second hour of American Sunrise, the House finally ready to to vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. President Trump now behind the move calling for Republicans in Congress to approve it. We're going to have analysis straight ahead. Plus a shake up for the midterms. The Supreme Court taking up a case centering on a Mississippi law that allows mail in ballots to be counted up to five days after an election. We're going to find out how that decision will affect these upcoming midterms in 2026. And later, voters sounding off on the outcome of a 43 day shutdown battle. New polling data revealing who Americans believe won that fight and which political party is left licking their wounds now that the dust has settled. We have those stories and more as the second hour of American Sunrise starts right now. Good morning, America.
Dr. Gina
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
David Brody
Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.
Dr. Gina
The American dream is still alive.
David Brody
I'm David Brody.
Dr. Gina
TERRENCE and I'm Dr. Gina.
David Brody
Welcome Back, everybody, to the second hour of American Sunrise. I'm David Brody coming to you from D.C. let's bring in Dr. G and Wes Palm and T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Hi, guys. So, finally, today's the day. Hi, guys.
Dr. Gina
Hi, guys.
David Brody
Hey. Oh, gosh. I reverted to. I'm 14 years old. Hey, what's up? Today's the day the Epstein files vote in the house. Finally. Gina, it's here.
Dr. Gina
Why does it seem a little anticlimactic? I don't know.
David Brody
Yes. Yes.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, we'll just see. I don't know. We'll see what's gonna be redacted. We'll see. There's a lot to see. You can release things all day long. I could release all my diaries right here on this show if I just had a big black marker and I could just scribble through the whole thing. Right? So, like. Yeah, we'll see. I do hope that we can get some justice for the families and for the girls who were very young when this happened to them. They deserve justice. You know, I live right here in Palm Beach. I ride past the place exactly where all of this took place on my boat a lot. So maybe that's why I'm so passionate about it, because it's literally right across from me. And I think about those girls. They've actually. They're. They're knocking the house down and rebuilding something because it's like. It's like a murder scene, you know, to people in Palm Beach. And. And so I just. I pray for those families, those girls, that they can get some closure through this somehow.
David Brody
I don't know for sure. Well, David and Dr. Gina, as you mentioned happening today, the U.S. house is expected to vote on that measure that would force the Justice Department to publicly release all documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. President Trump on board now with this idea, saying that he'll sign the measure if it makes it to his desk. In the meantime, former Treasury Secretary and Harvard University President Larry Summers says he is stepping back from his public commitments to, quote, rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me. The move comes after the recent release of Epstein emails showing that Summers continued a relationship with Epstein even after the child molester pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl. In a statement, Summers says, I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein. President Trump's plan to secure and govern Gaza passes the United Nations Security Council, but is rejected by Hamas. The resolution would install a transitional authority called the Board of Peace, which would lay out a future path to an independent Palestinian state. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is supporting the plan, saying, quote, we believe that President Trump's plan will lead to peace and prosperity because it insists upon full demilitarization, disarmament and the de radicalization of Gaza. That's a quick check of your headlines. Now let's get a quick check of your forecast with meteorologist Tracy Anthony. By the way, we're going to put up our QR code for Weather Nation here at the bottom of your screen. Go ahead, scan that QR code and join our team over at Weather Nation. But Tracy, one of my favorite parts of the show, it's time for the hometown forecast. Good morning.
Dr. Gina
Oh, yeah, and we've got a lot of activity in the hometowns that were sent in to us on our social media channels. So Chicago, this is from its V9 live. And you're dealing with some rain showers here this morning. We've got a big system that's moving on through. And this low pressure center is bringing Chicago some rain, but also a nice little snow belt between the Twin Cities and Detroit here this morning. Also could have some severe weather to.
David Brody
The south this afternoon.
Dr. Gina
But also Hunt Huntsville, Alabama, this is from Johnston 7. You're going to have a dry warm forecast over the next couple of days. Fire danger going to be a bigger concern out across the Southeast. And we've also been waking up to several mornings of some dense fog along the Gulf Coast. But now we're going to take you out west to Mesa, Arizona. This is from Blossom46 on Rumble, a soaker of a week for Mesa, Arizona. Of this is right near the Phoenix metro area and they do have flooding concerns. So over the next couple of days, we're going to see the chance for more rain to impact these areas and the desert Southwest.
David Brody
They just can't take on a lot of water.
Dr. Gina
So even a quarter of an inch can onset flash flooding very quickly here across the Southwest.
David Brody
So those are the systems we're watching.
Dr. Gina
And then it's going to be warm for the Southeast, Terrence.
David Brody
All right, Tracy, we appreciate it. Always good to see you. We'll see you tomorrow. Okay, you as well. All right, Remember, you see that QR code there at the bottom of your screen, folks. Go ahead and scan that and join our Weather Nation team. All right, let's get you over to David Brody now. David, good morning. Good morning. T. Bates. So as we've been talking about The House is set to vote on the release of the Epstein files later tonight. The measure now has President Trump's support. Over the weekend, the President clarified that. We have nothing to hide is what he said, and that it's time to move on from this Democrat hoax. Here he was speaking on the issue yesterday. Have a look. We have nothing to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats. You look at this. Reid Hoffman, you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton, they went to his island all the time. And many others. All Democrats. All right. Joining us now with analysis is the editor in chief for just the news. That would be our good friend John Solomon. So, John, I guess I'm assuming Republicans are all going to vote. Yes. We had Congressman Mark Alford on. He thought it was going to be pretty unanimous. So what happened here exactly? I mean, seems to me that the President saw that the train was leaving the station and he got on board. Yeah, listen, I think the President has never believed that the women's allegations are a hoax. He believes the idea to connect him to Epstein is the hoax. So he's always been supportive of the women. In fact, by his own account, he kind of cut off relations with Epstein when he heard some unseemly things or heard something about the women from his own country clubs being hired there and not being happy. So this is not about the women. This is about President Trump wanting the American people to hear about what the Republicans are doing. Lowering egg prices, lowering gas prices, lowering prescription drugs, getting illegal aliens out of the country, securing insecure cities that have been overrun by crime, building a foreign policy that brings peace across the world. That instead, for the last nine months, continuously, both Democrats and aided often by Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others, they have kept the discussion alive on this side. And I have said many times, we're not going to get a lot of revelations from these documents. Why? Because most of them have already been released by the courts. And those that haven't are covered by grand jury secrecy. And even Congress can't overcome the grand jury rules. So what's going to get sent out is not going to be a big, giant batch of big revelatory documents. And I'll give you a little sense of just the lack of understanding on the Republican side. So if you look at the MTG Trump text message TG put out over the weekend, she was trying to make the case to the President. Look, Bill Clinton went to the island or went on, excuse me, Jeffrey Epstein's plane 27 times. That's why I wanted These documents out. That's great. Except when the documents came out, that was the 90th time that that 27 flight revelation came out. The first time that we knew that Bill Clinton took 27 flights was all the way back in 2016. So many of the people arguing and causing this to stay in the bubble of public discussion don't even know what's been out or what isn't out. And so you step back from this and the President says, hey, I'm not going to get my message. I'm not going to be able to explain to people until I fix this problem. And that's what happened. Hey, John. John, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but you mentioned mtg, and we're just hearing that she's speaking right now about Epstein victims. Let's listen into some of what she's saying.
Dr. Gina
I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five. No, actually six years for. And I gave him my loyalty for free. I won my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary. And I've never owed him anything, but I fought for him, for the policies and for America First. And he called me a traitor for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition. Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is a. Is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me. And I want to tell you that this only became possible today because the American people, whom we serve as representatives here in Congress, demanded that this vote happen. And they put more pressure on every single elected politician in this city than has ever been put on them. And today you are going to see probably a unanimous vote in the House to release the Epstein files. But the fight, the real fight, will happen after that, while I want to see every single name released so that these women don't have to leave.
David Brody
Live in fear and intimidation.
Dr. Gina
Which is something I've had a small taste of in just the past few days.
David Brody
Just a small taste.
Dr. Gina
They've been living it for years. But the real test will be will the Department of Justice release the files or will it all remain tied up in investigations? Will the CIA release the files? Will a federal jet. Will a judge in New York. Sorry, a judge in New York release the information. That's information that needs to come out. And will the list of names that these women privately hold.
David Brody
And they hold it.
Dr. Gina
Because of their fear in their heart of what would happen to them if they release it on their own. Will that list of names come out? That's the real test. So I want to thank Thomas Massie and Rock for your bravery and doing something, doing something that is much needed in America, crossing the political aisle that has become bigger than the Grand Canyon in America. But these men cross that aisle on behalf of these women. And that is more of what is needed today in America than ever in our history. So thank you so much. Who's next? Roe. I'll let you introduce.
David Brody
Thank you.
Dr. Gina
Thank you.
David Brody
Thank you. Thank you, Marjorie. Representative Greene, for your. So you were just listening to Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene as the House is going to vote on this discharge petition. She obviously was there with victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Let's bring back in John Solomon and the rest of the team as well, David and Dr. Gina. John, your initial response to all of this as we kind of take it in, take in what we just heard from the congresswoman. It would have been nice if a news conference like that occurred in 16 or 18 or 20 or 21 when I was doing the reporting and when Christine Dolan was doing the reporter and other people. This is sort of Johnny come lately. He's trying to pretend now that they care about those women. No one cared about those windowmen back in 2000 when the bush Justice Department gave him a sweetheart deal. And there wasn't a whole lot of clamoring back in 2019 when the Trump Justice Department re indicted Epstein, leading to his suicide in prison. So there's a lot of people coming now that, one, don't know even what's been released to the public, and two, getting a lot of political mileage out of it now. But they weren't there for the women at 8 or 12 or 15 or 16 or 20 or 21, when reporters like myself and others, the Wall Street Journal and Christine Dolan did really significant work on these women. So it's great that they're going to go. Here's what's going to happen. The vote will happen today. It'll be a pretty large vote in the House, maybe unanimous, pretty close to unanimous. It's unclear whether it will get in the Senate. John has not made a commitment yet.
Dr. Gina
John. John, the victims are speaking right now. We want to go back to that really quickly. Stand by, please. Thank you. Incredible thing that I'm watching as a Republican, and this is none political, but.
David Brody
For you to go against your own party and to be ostracized, there's no.
Dr. Gina
Place for political violence. There's no place for intimidation. And I Can say firsthand, stepping out against Epstein and his crimes against children.
David Brody
We have all experienced that ourselves. So for you to knowingly put yourselves.
Dr. Gina
At risk and put your career at.
David Brody
Risk is unbelievable to watch. And we are so grateful.
Dr. Gina
I also want to make sure a.
David Brody
Proposition for Marjorie Taylor Greene, because you've.
Dr. Gina
Been an advocate for this.
David Brody
If you decide to read those names on the House floor for immunity, I will be more than happy. No security needed. I will stand beside you. I will hold your hand.
Dr. Gina
I will hold your coat in solidarity with you. And on top of that, I did talk to Prepal Jayapal, who said she would be more than happy to read those names too.
David Brody
On the floor with all of us. It's time that we pollute. We put the political agendas and party affiliate affiliations to the side.
Dr. Gina
This is a human issue. This is about children. There is no place in society for exploitation, sexual crimes or exploitation of women in society. There's no room for it, guys. We're not having it. And to the President of the United States of America, who is not here today, I want to send a clear message to you. While I do understand that your position has changed on the Epstein files, and I'm grateful that you have pledged to sign this bill, I can't help to be skeptical of what the agenda is. So with that being said, I want to relay this message to you. I am traumatized. I am not stupid. I am traumatized. I am not stupid. You have put us through so much stress. The lockdowns, the halt of these. Of. Of these procedures that were supposed to have happened 50 days ago. The Adelita Grahava who waited to get sworn in and then get upset when your own party goes against you because what is being done is wrong, it's not right for your own self serving purposes. This is America. This is land of the free. Land of the free. In 1863, we have a woman on top of the Capitol building represent freedom.
David Brody
I do not feel free today. I don't know if the women behind.
Dr. Gina
Me feel free today. So I am begging every member of Congress, every representative to step up and choose the chaos. Choose the survivors. Choose the children. Protect the children.
David Brody
All children.
Dr. Gina
You protect all of us equally. Thank you very much for your time. Following that, Lisa Phillips will be the next survivor. Good morning. My name is Lisa Phillips. It's an honor to stand here again for something. America is finally united on the immediate.
David Brody
Release of the entire Epstein file.
Dr. Gina
In a divided nation, this is one demand we all share. Last time I stood here, I made A promise to all survivors watching. If those in power refused to release the truth, we would start uncovering it ourselves. For anyone who doubted that, that moment has already arrived. Since that day, more survivors across the country and around the world have reached out text, emails, DMs, first hand accounts and evidence. Many are women who were abused or trafficked through the international modeling pipeline. Epstein built promising visas, apartments, opportunities, futures, while exploiting their dreams for abuse. Most are still terrified to speak publicly because the men involved are powerful. They're connected, and as we know, they're protected. For too long, survivors have watched others speak for us. And while we are grateful for our allies in Congress on both sides, we've realized something. This fight belongs to us. We lived it and we know the truth. And we will not wait quietly for institutions to decide when we're allowed to speak. The survivors now coming forward have entrusted us with their stories. We are sharing that information with the proper authorities. And when it can safely be made public, it will be.
David Brody
So.
Dr. Gina
Today we are launching something historic. The first national survivor led political movement in America. Nonpartisan, laser focused on exposing the systems, the loopholes, power structures and silencing mechanisms that have protected predators for far too long. We are stepping directly into the halls of power, into the political arena. We will help rewrite laws that failed us and build protections for our nation's children. Together, targeted by sexual exploitation. Together today, survivors begin our own fight, the survivor revolution. And we intend to change this nation for the better. If you're a survivor who wants to join us, please reach out. And to anyone who benefits from the current system, intentionally or not, remember this. Alone, yes, we are afraid. But together we are feared. Thank you. Hello everybody. I am Johnna Lisa Jones and just as Haley, I would just like to give a little reminder that this was me at 14 years old. I was a child. I was in ninth grade. I was hopeful for life and what the future had held for me. He stole a lot from me by at 14. So just a little reminder there for everybody. Sorry.
David Brody
So.
Dr. Gina
I just want to start out by saying thank you for all of you for being here today. I want to start by expressing my deepest gratitude to the members of Congress who have stood with us, the survivors, in demanding the transparency and justice. Your support is a signal that this institution can still serve the American people. This issue was never one that should have divided us the way it has. In fact, it should have united us. Sexual abuse is not a Republican issue. This is not a debt or Democratic issue. It is not a. It is also Not a hoax. We are here as American survivors of a man who used his wealth and.
David Brody
Power to hurt young girls and women.
Dr. Gina
The world should see the files to know who Jeffrey Epstein was and how the system catered to him and failed us emotionally. This process has been distressing. First, the administration said it would release everything and applauded President Trump for that. Then it fought to release nothing. Now that, that, that. Now that. That checks and balances of our democracy have worked and the bill is getting.
David Brody
Passed to release the files.
Dr. Gina
We are hearing the administration say they intend to investigate various Democrat Democrats who were friends with Epstein. I beg you, President Trump, please stop making this political. It is not about you, President Trump. You are our president. Please start acting like it. Show some class, show some real leadership. Show that you actually care about the people other than yourself. I voted for you. But your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment. It is time to take the honest moral ground and support the release of these files. Not to weaponize pieces of the files against random political enemies that did nothing wrong, but to understand who Epstein's friends were, who covered for him, what financial institutions allowed his trafficking to continue, who knew what he was doing but was too much of a coward to do anything about it. Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were able to recruit and abuse young girls and women. Then the country will learn nothing.
David Brody
The country will learn nothing and has.
Dr. Gina
Horrible history will repeat itself if we do not do something about this. Thank you to the brave congressmen and women who have stood by us and.
David Brody
Recognize our side is the American side.
Dr. Gina
And we should all be proud once again to be Americans. I want to just extend my thank you so much to all three of you. Very, very much. The first time we were here listening to the people yell shame at you and when she was here in support of us, really hit home and spoke some volumes and I just very much appreciable of your support and. And we stand by you. Don't let any of them bully you here for you. Thank you, guys.
David Brody
Wow.
Dr. Gina
Good morning everyone. Thank you all so much for coming together today and taking the time to listen to us. Your presence means the world and it shows commitment to understanding and supporting survivors and Americans. I stand before you today with a heavy heart. I originated from Brazil and I came to the United States when I was 8 years old. I was only 14 when I first encountered Jeffrey Epstein and my daughter is now almost at that age. At 14, the only things she should be concerned with are going to school, practicing at her cheerleading competitions, and Enjoying her time with her friends and family. She should not have to bear the burden of worrying about being manipulated or exploited. At this age, she is still a child and no child should ever have to face such threats. I also want to address a trouble state a troubling statement made by a prominent figure on a major platform who suggested that a 14 year old should not be considered a victim of pedophilia. This is a dangerous and incorrect notion. When we talk about how to children at 14 should still be treated as children. I ask you to look at the.
David Brody
Young people around you.
Dr. Gina
Remember when you were that age. Do you think you should have been responsible for being groomed? Put yourselves in our position when we were young. I am here today not to just share my story, but to call on all of you to help make a difference. We need to support to push for the Transparency act and release the Epstein files. Please reach out to your Congress members and senators and urge them to support this crucial legislation. The truth is something that we all deserve and it is vital for safety and protection of a future of generations. Think about all the young people in your life. Your daughters, your nieces, your friends. Let's stand together and ensure that they grow up in a world where they are safe and valued. I often wondered, why did this happen to me? And then I realized, God only gives you what you can handle. I'm here for a purpose and that purpose is to make a difference today. So let's stand together to protect our children and our peace. Thank you.
David Brody
Good job.
Dr. Gina
Good morning.
David Brody
So you've been listening to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein's, I'm going to call it terror. He terrorized these young women and you just heard some of their stories. Let's bring in Dr. Gina and David to talk a little bit more about that. Also momentarily, we're going to go into the rotunda there in Congress and get with our congressional correspondent, Benny Ray Harmony. That's going to happen momentarily. Dr. Gina, I want to give you the first opportunity to react to all of what you just heard. And I want to give you this opportunity, Dr. Gina, because just moments ago, you pointed out to all of us that you have to see where Jeffrey Epstein lived, that you see that on a daily basis and it still brings back some of those thoughts. And now hearing those stories, I would imagine that the emotions are ratcheted up that much more.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. And I think we all have, you know, our own series of childhood traumas probably behind us that inform our opinions right now. You know, it's a mix of emotions for our audience, for MAGA in general, for America first in general in terms of look, a lot of people have spent their time and talent and tears electing this administration and believing it was going to make such a difference. And some of those people see this as a distraction and they don't want a distraction because they want to win midterms and continue to do good things. And that's so understandable. On the other hand too, though, for these women, Joe Biden, all the presidents before did nothing to help them. And here they are now with this opportunity to have some closure in all of this. And from their perspective, it's understandable as well. So my best approach to all of this, Terrence, first of all, thank God for Rav to tell the truth, to speak about it even when it's scary. Right. And to not be afraid to go where no other news networks, by the way, will go. So kudos to our leadership with Rob Sig and everyone else. So I want to start there. But secondly, I want to say can we please give grace at this time to people who might be misstepping, might be misspeaking, might be over emotional for things that are very meaningful and deep to them. And can we not engage in circular fire just for a moment, just long enough to hear and see this through? David Brody, that's my biggest, most constructive thought at this moment.
David Brody
David, can I just say one thing here really quickly? Go ahead. And I don't want to ignore you, but we do want to bring in Rav congruence congressional correspondent Benny Ray Harmony, who is there at the U.S. capitol. David, if you'll offer her her first question, let's do it that way. Are you okay with that? Oh well, Benny, just take it away. Good. What do you got? I mean, you've been hearing this. This is obviously pretty emotional, obviously. And quite frankly, a lot of them were trashing Trump. I mean, let's just be honest. And the media's got their sound bites for tonight's nightly news cast, that's for sure.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, well, we actually, we are currently right here in the, in the Canon Rotunda and we can see the victims down there speaking. And this is a very, very emotional day here on Capitol Hill for Democrats, for Republicans all across the aisle. And, and I think we're going to see some very eye opening things tonight. I spoke with Steve Gruber yesterday about some of these internal communications from congressional offices feeding us some of this knowledge that we can expect lots of people not to vote on this that we may have thought would vote on this. But that is the main thing here on Capitol Hill today. But there are a few other things. You know, Senator Lindsey Graham, he just came out and announced that he will in regards to the Jack Smith January 6th hoax that the Republicans did something wrong. Senator Lindsey Graham is going to be introducing legislation that actually expands these provisions that they put inside a CR bill that allows all Americans, anyone who is.
David Brody
Targeted by the weaponized DOJ to sue the government.
Dr. Gina
And they say that this is our right and such. So there are a lot of huge things coming on Capitol Hill today, but we are seeing a divide between the House and the Senate and we're not.
David Brody
Sure how that is going to go.
Dr. Gina
About and if these two parties and two chambers can agree on some of these things.
David Brody
RAV Congressional correspondent Benny Ray Harmony reporting for us there in the Capitol. Thank you so much for your thoughts there. David, want to get back to you and allow you to finish your thought. I apologize for interference. But we also did want to bring in Benny, your thoughts, give us your assessment of what we just heard from these victims as it relates to what our audience is all about and what the RAV ownership does and making sure that your voice is heard. I mean I think that's the most important part of this, you know, because we've been there all along as it relates to covering of the Epstein files and making sure that there was full transparency. And so that's really what this is ultimately about. You know, two things can be true at the same time. It can be a democr hoax and political stunt in terms of what they're doing. Cuz they don't have any moral integrity in this at all. That is a 1 million percent true.
Dr. Gina
Yes.
David Brody
And at the same time, and at the same time, you know, we've got to call it out. You know, this was a, it didn't need to be this way. It didn't need to be a whole big distraction. They should have had this vote a long time ago and then moved on. And when I say moved on, I don't mean move on with the issue or, or negating what these women are going through. That's not what I'm talking about, but I'm talking about from a political standpoint. They could have moved on to the next bill, the next thing that they've got to get going. But the Republicans shot themselves in the foot here. They dragged it out way too long and it started right at the top at the White House. And it didn't need to be this way. It just didn't. And that's the truth, guys. We'll obviously be talking much more about this throughout the day and throughout this show. But we do have to take a quick break here on American Sunrise. When we come back, a new poll shows that most Americans backed the deal that ended the 43 day government shutdown last week. The question is, which political party do they believe came out on top? We'll try to answer that question for you next.
Dr. Gina
All right. We've been covering things on Capitol Hill for you. The victims now in a press conference along with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. We'll go back to that in and out of this broadcast and moving forward. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. Gina. Thank you for joining us this morning. We invite you to join in our conversation on YouTube. Getter and Rumble. It's time now to take the political pulse of America. The beat today goes like this. A new national poll shows most Americans support the deal that ended the 43 day government shutdown last week. And many believe Republicans came out on top. A Rasmussen report survey finds 67% likely voters approve the decision to reopen our government, with nearly half saying the GOP benefited politically. Only 24% disapprove and 10% aren't quite sure. But the numbers reveal Republic opinion is landing after weeks of stalemate. The shutdown dragged on to be the longest in American history, with Democrat leaders like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer holding out for extending Obamacare subsidies. Eight Democrats would eventually break with leadership and join with Republicans to vote for the deal that ended up on the president's desk last Wednesday. For more, let's bring in Terrence and David Brody. I don't know, Terrence and David. It feels funny to talk about the shutdown right now. But, you know, I mean, the shutdown does relate to everything we're witnessing right now. I think it falls down to this T. And I want to know where you stand. The Democrats are absolutely desperate to have an issue because they don't have an issue. And I say it goes back to removing God from their platform years ago. By the way, this wasn't yesterday. This was years ago. This is something that's been brewing for a long time. And when you have statistics like 48 new mosques in Texas alone over the last two years, when you have statistics like 22 countries banning the Bible, zero banning the Quran, and you look at what is happening with the Islamization of our country and the invasion that happened in our country, Democrats watch. And the fact that nothing was done for any of these women about Epstein under Democrat administrations, Terrence, you begin to see a pattern. You can see why the Democrats are pretty desperate.
David Brody
Well, Dr. Gina, I'll just add to all of what you just laid out, is that their platform is to derail Donald Trump at every nook and cranny, at every corner, and that's what they're trying to do. We saw some of that today. We're seeing that with the Epstein files. And while many still want transparency, the reality is during the last administration, no one seemed to care. But now that Donald Trump is in office, it has become such. It has become this big issue. It has become this issue that Democrats are pushing. And I don't think it's for justice for the women. It's simply to try to derail or to try to hamstring Donald Trump. And that, unfortunately, David, is the entire focus of Democrat policy these days, is to try to hamstring Donald Trump, to try to stop him from moving the country forward at every possible opportunity. Yeah. That's where the Democrats focus is. The Democrats energy right now is to get Schumer to primary Schumer in 2028. But in terms of the government shutdown, Let me just say one thing about Schumer, and you can queue up the tape. What is it today? November 19th, 2025. What is it? November 19th?
Dr. Gina
18Th, I think, right?
David Brody
19Th.
Dr. Gina
19Th.
David Brody
No, 18th. Today is 18th. Oh, my God.
Dr. Gina
I thought so, but I'm the.
David Brody
I'm the anchor of record here. November 14th. No. Okay, November 18th. Schumer's not going to run. Schumer's not going to run in 2028. It's over. No, of course not. He's not running. That's it. He's done. T. Bates, let's talk in about two years. He's not going to run. He sees the writing on the wall. What is he, almost 80 years old? What is he, 76? 78? 7. 78, something like that. He. He's done. Put him out to pasture. I really mean it. And by the way, that's not my analysis. Well, it is my analysis, but I'm telling you, I've seen this rodeo before. This is gonna be. He's. I know. He wants to hang on. Don't get me wrong. He wants to hang on for dear life, but there's gonna be too much pressure for him to basically not run, and he won't. He won't. That's it.
Dr. Gina
Yeah.
David Brody
Well, I think Dr. Gina put a steak dinner on it.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, a steak dinner. Them's fighting words, T. I think that I think that the Democrats have the wrong target here because this isn't about President Trump. This is about omitting God. The bigger picture is their goal is to omit God. They have to do it to institute true socialism. And that is where the Democrat Party is headed. That is the truth. President Trump is perceived, I think, as just the head of the octopus, but I think they have the wrong target because coming up are midterms guys. And anyway, there's more American Sunrise coming up too in just a moment. But first, here is a look at what you'll get when you join our RAV Ambassadors program. Take a look.
David Brody

Scan the QR code or go to ravambassadors.com to join now, because America's voice is your voice.
Dr. Gina
All right, you guys. We are weaving in and out of all of the live breaking news and press conferences around the country right now, not the least of which is the episode Epstein Victims taking to the Capitol steps with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and others. We have something coming up, I believe from Homeland Security. We're going to keep you posted on that. So don't worry, you can keep it right here. The Trump administration. Oh, whoops. Nope, we're going here right now. Holman, coming up for you, Homeland Security. Immigration said that we should American also, the government should welcome culture, legal immigration. But we understand the issue with illegal.
David Brody
Immigration, the killing and everything. So what is your answer, sir? Well, I said last week, look, do you know entering the grounds of the Vatican illegally, The penalties for that, as much as worse than the penalties for entering this country legally. So, you know, they want to protect the Vatican. I want to protect the United States. It is a crime to enter this country legally. And what and what the Catholic leadership needs to understand. President Trump has illegal immigration down 96% when 96% less people are coming, making that dangerous journey? How many aliens aren't dying making that journey? How many women and children aren't sex driving? How many pounds of fentanyl is not getting in this country killing Americans? President Trump's policies are saving lives of just not Americans, but of illegal aliens themselves. During the four years of Biden administration, we watched millions of illegal aliens give these cartels their life savings to cross the border. Over 4,000 aliens, aliens died making that journey. Historic record. A quarter million, quarter million Americans died from drug overdoses. Fentanyl, historic record. President Trump saving lives. And I would think the Catholic Church would support that. You know, and let's not forget Catholic Charities. Under Biden administration, they made billions of dollars helping illegal migration to this hemisphere. So, you know, I'll say it again. Catholic church needs to concentrate on Catholic Church. Church as a lifelong Catholic, they got some improvement they can do with that church. I wish they, you know, I wish they concentrate on that and lead border security to President Trump whose success has been unprecedented in the thousands of lives he's saving every month.
Dr. Gina
They're stating that there's some impact on.
David Brody
The workforce that's causing problems for them. Well, look out, say this, there's a legal way to bring workers in to this country, but I think a lot of the industry likes to cheat illegal labor. Look, I'll say again, I've done this since 1984. I don't think there's a lot of people out there that hire an illegal alien out of the goodness of their heart. They hire can they work them harder, pay them less, and undercut their competition who actually has US Citizens working for them. So, so, you know, we're going, and I've said it from day one, we are increasing worksite enforcement. It's the right thing to do, not only to hold these employers responsible, not only protect the companies that have US Citizen employees, but the number one place we find victims of trafficking are work sites. And that's why we're increasing also.
Dr. Gina
Thanks, folks. All right, well, the Trump administration putting more pressure on Venezuela this week. We're going to discuss all of that coming up. We're going to keep you informed on the press conference going on with MTG and the Epstein victims on the Capitol steps, as well as anything happening in the White House. We'll be back with more American Sunrise right after this.
David Brody
Let's spill some tea.
Dr. Gina
Let's spill some tea. Fueled by Artillery Tea Company, the only America first veteran owned tea brand. Their mission is to maximize Flavor with whole leaf blends and chemical free tea bags. No junk, just real tea. And here's the tactical advantage. Each bag brews twice. Just go to artillerytea co.com and use the code RAV for 10% off your first order. Again, that website is artillerytea co.com premium tea, mission driven and brewed for the brave. It is time now to spill some tea. And in the cup today. This one's pretty gross. A California congressman is denying claims that he was watching sexually explicit material material on a commercial flight after photos of him looking at suggestive images on his tablet went viral. Seriously, could you imagine sitting next to him? Democratic Representative Brad Sherman says the pictures were just posts fed to him by the X algorithm and admits the moment looked bad, but insists it wasn't what it looked like. The controversy has sparked a new round of social media backlash and even reignited calls from both parties to release the highly anticipated Epstein files, something that Sherman himself says that he supports. For more, let's bring in David Brody, Terence Bates, and Dr. Gina here. You know, you guys, I must admit, I am chronically on X. And so when I saw this a few days ago, I thought it was AI. I thought, there's no way that this is real. David. Rody, are there some creeps in dc? I know he's denying it, but the photos are pretty bad. Is that a rhetorical question?
David Brody
Is that a rhetorical question? That is a rhetorical question. I'm going with. Okay, let me think for a second. Yes. Yes. I think. I think the answer is yes. But let me double check. Yes. Yes, no, definitely. So here's the thing. The excuse by the congressman that it's his algorithm on X. This just in. That's not much of an excuse if your algorithm is showing you that stuff. I wonder what else is in the quote algorithm. That's all I gotta say back to anybody that wants to listen.
Dr. Gina
That is a great point.
David Brody
Please.
Dr. Gina
I hate when you take my points, David Brody. It makes me so. But it is true. I get all.
David Brody
Did it again. Thank you, Emily, for asking me first.
Dr. Gina
All my commercials are cute dogs, cute puppies, cute animals, Christian stuff. Shoes, purses, and vacations. I mean, that's what it is. It's what girls do. It's what we look at. We look at cute puppies, we look at cute kitties. It's just what we do. And if you're looking at porn, then guess what's gonna pop up in your feed? Guess what you're. You don't get to blame the algorithm when you created the algorithm T. No, absolutely.
David Brody
And the reality is an algorithm simply reflects one's interests, if you will, online. And so obviously, his interests were. Yeah, a little dirty, a little skewed. I'm trying to be diplomatic here. And that's what popped up. And he just got caught. He got caught red handed. Sorry, but that's just what it is.
Dr. Gina
I just want to make this point quickly.
David Brody
I'm sorry, David. Was that not. I was trying to publicly.
Dr. Gina
On an airplane. On an airplane. There were people sitting next to him. It's not like he was doing this in the comfort of his own home, like, my goodness gracious. But apparently he was in the floor.
David Brody
To your point. There's no expectation of privacy on an airplane. So, you know, at that point, you got to deal with it. Go ahead, David. I'm sorry, you're going to say. I was going to say, pro tip, don't buy the Internet. Next time on the plane, FYI, number one. But. Sorry, I have to say it. And number two, my algorithm consists, let me say. Okay. Of makeup, food, and videos of myself. Okay. I just want to be clear. So that's my algorithm. I'd be curious to hear all of your algorithms. Gina, we heard yours.
Dr. Gina
Looking at pictures of himself. That's just. That's priceless right there.
David Brody
Ultra. Ultra. Yeah. I'm looking at, you know, what's coming in from Ultra this week. Yeah. No, I'm not. I'm kidding. That's a joke. Well, since we're being transparent, my algorithm has soccer and videos of David Brody as well, so. And well, it should. Darn it.
Dr. Gina
I think you guys know mine is rock and roll all the way. Wherever the bands are going. That's my algorithm.
David Brody
That's right.
Dr. Gina
Yeah.
David Brody
Ac, dc. That's right.
Dr. Gina
What a segment. What a segment. All right. Still to come. Hilarious.
David Brody
I love you.
Dr. Gina
On American Sunrise, a dog plunges 100ft off a Scottish cliff. And what happened next? Left, rescuers stunned. The incredible Coast Guard save. Next, when American Sunrise continues. All right, welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. Gina. Thanks so much for joining us today. It is time now for our sunny side up in the pan. Today, a heart stopping moment on a remote Scottish cliff ended with a remarkable rescue. A two year old collie named Wisp survived a 100 foot plunge down the cliffs of North Maven in Shetland, coming to rest on a narrow rocky ledge his owner couldn't safely reach. With the tides and terrain making a seaward rescue impossible. This makes my blood pressure go up. Coast Guard crews launched A complex rope operation. For three hours, teams worked their way down the steep cliff face. And by early afternoon, they successfully hauled Wisp back to safety. Against all odds, this pup was remarkably unscathed and happily reunited with his owner. It's a great story about a daring rescue and really cute. And I'm impressed that the dog held still on that cliff. I'd have been having heart failure, wouldn't you, Colby? Colby's been on that cliff, you guys. I sent a picture. I don't know if they put it, but here he is on the cliff in Scotland. And I'll tell you what, that is a very scary place. I held onto his leash a little extra more tightly, and I actually put the little loop of the leash around my wrist. This is a trick tip for dog owners. And then you wrap it that way, if it slips, it's still on your wrist, if that makes sense. That's a very, very important little. Yes, go ahead, David.
David Brody
And Dr. G. I'm just curious, since this happened in Shetland, did they use a pony to help pull the dog up? Come on. That was good. That was good. Shetland poetry happened, Mark. You guys don't appreciate my genius.
Dr. Gina
Well, it was good. It was good before, for sure. When you said that your algorithms were David Brody on tv, just like David Brody's algorithms are David Brody.
David Brody
Absolutely.
Dr. Gina
That was fantastic.
David Brody
Yeah. Speaking of algorithms, this will be interesting to find out what the algorithms. And I'm trying to make a transition. Forget it. I have no transition here. Let's just talk about the Epstein files, though, okay? Because I was gonna say the algorithms of what's going on. If you're gonna be searching Epstein files stuff today, that vote is gonna happen today. We heard the victims today. You know, if I could just quickly say, not that this really is part of a sunny side up, if you will, but I will say there is some positive news here, that the victims that were speaking today said they are not not only giving up the fight, but they're going to be active and they're gonna be mobilized. And this is not the last we're hearing. After the vote from these victims, we're gonna hear a lot more.
Dr. Gina
You know what I hope they will take up? I hope they will become victims, crusaders for actual women's rights. Not the kind that the feminazis talk about all the time. I'm talking about real women's rights. I'm talking about the missing women and children from the cartels, from our open borders time under Democrat presidents that this president has fixed. I hope they'll talk about the women victimized under Islamist regimes and under Islamism happening across our country in the United States. This is really not a sunnyside. This didn't go the way we meant it to go at all.
David Brody
No.
Dr. Gina
But I do hope that these women who understand what it means to be victims will understand that President Trump has taken up their mantle later or what. It's still. He's done it. And I hope that they will become victims rights advocates for women and children across this country. And you know what? Not the least of them are the babies that are aborted in the most massive genocide in our. In our world's history. The little babies that are aborted every single day. Right.
David Brody
T. Yeah, I. I think you. You encapsulated it all, Dr. G. I'm not going to add anything else to that, you know. Yeah, Yeah. I think you. You encapsulated all. I could go on, but I won't, you know, And I just want to say, even though this kind of started as a sunny side up and it took this type of turn, actually, if you think about it, it very well could be a sunny side up because, you know, they're trying to do the right thing. And let's just wait for what happens in the future. And we just pray that that happens.

The episode remains energetic, urgent, sometimes emotional, and always delivered in the iconically conversational and impassioned “America First” tone. Hosts frequently mix personal anecdotes, humor (“Put me on the short bus—please cut spending!”), and direct appeals, with a focus on “faith, family, and freedom.” Grounded in conservative and Christian values, the show pitches itself as the antidote to mainstream narratives.
This episode delivered a real-time window into a consequential day in D.C., blending hard news, survivor testimony, and culture war commentary. The shifting stance on the Epstein files, survivor activism, and the tension between political strategy and calls for justice dominated the air. Other segments reminded listeners of broader spiritual and cultural battles at play.
For listeners who missed the episode, this summary encapsulates the political drama, moral debates, and lively interactions that defined a pivotal morning on Real America’s Voice — a signature blend of current events and conservative advocacy.
