Final Thoughts & Tone

The hosts take an unapologetically conservative, often irreverent approach, blending serious discussion with humor and familiar camaraderie. The central through line is distrust of Democratic leadership, a strong focus on “America First” principles, and emphasis on returning to traditional values—whether in faith, foreign policy, or economics. Nuanced takes from guests add depth to hot-button headlines, particularly around the implications of government transparency, shifting geopolitics, and generational disillusionment.

Those stories and so much more right now on American Sunrise.

[David Brody]

Good morning, America.

[Dr. Gina]

Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.

[Terrence Bates]

Politics.

[David Brody]

President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

[Terrence Bates]

We've got you covered.

[David Brody]

This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

[Terrence Bates]

We have to protect the American family.

[Dr. Gina]

The American dream is still alive.

[David Brody]

I'm David Brody.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm terrence.

[Dr. Gina]

And I'm Dr. Gina. Good morning. I'm Dr. Gina. We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. Let's bring in David Brody. He's out in Washington, D.C. in T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good Morning, gentlemen.

[Terrence Bates]

Hello, Dr. G. And David. Good morning. So look, guys, the big story. We're going to be talking about it all morning long. The Epstein files will be released. President Trump is expected to sign that discharge position discharge petition. Excuse me. As soon as today. Here's the headline. Epstein files update. Senate unanimously gives. Unanimously agrees. Excuse me. To release records. Trump to sign the deal. Only one House member voted against that measure. That would be Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins. David, you've been talking about this all morning because you've been up and at him a little earlier than Dr. Gina and I. And you were saying that you think the way Democrat Republicans, excuse me, have handled this. I think you defined it as an unfair.

[David Brody]

Yeah, I mean, look, they fought against this tooth and nail, this discharge petition, and then what ends up happening? They pass it 421 to 1 in the house and the Senate just does unanimous consent and does even have a roll call vote. It's like, yeah, absolutely, we were for this all along. Really?

[Terrence Bates]

Really.

[David Brody]

Okay, whatever. Knock yourself out. Look to me, Gina, what's gonna be interesting at the signing ceremony today with President Trump, I say today. We assume it's today. Guess we'll ask Brian Glenn about that when he comes up later. If those EPST victims will be there at the signing ceremony, I hope he does that. I mean, I think that would be a strong visual and kind of put a final. I say a final. It's not gonna be a final stamp, but definitely a stamp on what has just happened.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah. Well, let's just say if I were working in President Trump's office, which I'm not, and advising him, I would advise against that, even though I agree with you.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

Interesting.

[Dr. Gina]

The optics are. Are important, but I think there's too much room, there's too much hostility, there's too much lack of trust on all sides. I don't know, I think I could.

[David Brody]

See, you mean from the Epstein victims, you got concerned about what some of the stuff they've said. Got it.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, a little bit. You know. Now listen, Trump's favorite thing in the world is to take an enemy and make him his friend. And I'm not saying these women were his enemies, but I'm saying they were distrustful of him and have said some unkind things. If there were a little more time lapse than today, if it were maybe next week or the week after, then I could Maybe see it, but I don't see that happening today. That's just me. I could be completely wrong.

[David Brody]

I think that's really astute. I think that's very interesting. Interesting.

[Dr. Gina]

So that's my thought. Bottom line is, glad it's opening, glad it's happening. Rather, I hope this gives them some closure that they deserve. These families. If you watched the entire press conference, which we didn't get to watch yester was absolutely heart wrenching. You know, so many of these women are dead and they're dead as a direct result of what happened to them. Whether it's suicide or whatever. Some of them were just disappeared. So I really do hope and pray for the sake of the family and for the women who are the victims that they do get some closure one way or another.

[Terrence Bates]

And moving forward, I would pray that young girls are protected in this country that nothing like this ever happen again.

[Dr. Gina]

And I hope, as I said yesterday toward the end of this show, that every single one of those women becomes an advocate for the missing women and little girls that were abused by our cartels that are trafficked every single day in this country. I hope they all become advocates for missing and exploited. And I want to say, I want to add to that, little boys. I really hate the way little boys are always left out of that. And there's so many little boys. As I've told you before, my friends that work on the border have told me they'll find whole houses full of little boys being trafficked because sickeningly, some people just have that propensity. All right, let's check out today's bible verse. Exodus 15:13. You, in your mercy, have led forth the people whom you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation. Imagine for just a moment how beautiful it would be to be guided in his strength to. To our holy habitation. For more, let's bring in Florida Congressman Randy Fine. Congressman, you probably have a message to these victims today. What say you?

[David Brody]

Well, I think the message is we care about what happened to them and we're trying to get to the bottom of it. To those who think we mismanage the situation, I would say this. What I've learned in the last few days is Democrats didn't want to release the Epstein files. Democrats wanted to release part of the Epstein files. They had no desire to get to the bottom of the situation by getting the files that the Epstein estate had. And the reason for that, as we've learned in the last couple days, is we learned that Democrats were working with Jeffrey Epstein even after he was a convicted pedophile. Hakeem Jeffries was raising money from Jeffrey Epstein. Plaskett, a congresswoman from the Virgin Islands, was coordinating with Epstein. So I think what they wanted to do is have us look over here on the left at the files that were held by the government, but not get the whole picture, which is what the House has been trying to do for the last few months. Yeah, no great points for sure. Hey, we've got a lot of news to get to, Congressman. Let's get to President Trump meeting with the Saudi crown prince yesterday. Mbs, as they like to call him that was at the White House. There's a lot to unpack here. They did discuss the Abraham Accords. In other words, getting Saudi Arabia on board with that. Take it. Take a look at this sound bite. I don't want to use the word commitment, but we've had a very good talk on the Abraham Accords. We talked about one state, two state, you know, we talked about a lot of things in a short period of time. We'll be discussing it further too.

[Terrence Bates]

But I think you have a very good feeling toward the Abraham accords. Yes, definitely, Mr. President. We want peace for the Israelis, we.

[David Brody]

Want peace for the Palestinians.

[Terrence Bates]

We want them to coexist peacefully in the region and we will do our best to reach that date.

[David Brody]

Okay, so we have limited time because I got a lot to say about this, but I'm sure you do as well. Don't even get me started on the F35 fighters and don't get me started on this non NATO agreement with the defense and the Saudis. I am curious about all of that, but the Abraham Accords, I mean, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Saudi Arabia's position is we're not going in the Abraham Accords unless there's some sort of two state solution. Well, that ain't happening. So what's your take? What's going on? Well, I think we can pray for a two state solution decades from now, but the fact of the matter is there already are multiple states over there. Jordan was the state that was created for Palestinians. We tried a third state, which was Gaza when the Israelis exited in 2005. And we saw how that worked. So I think Saudi Arabia is going to have to recategorize their views and say, look, we would love to see something happen in the future, but as for now, we have to make the best of the situation if we want those F35. So I'm hopeful they'll join the Abraham Accords. I think simply living in some fictional world where Israel can just say, sure, have a bunch of land to these people who want to kill them is simply not going to work.

[Terrence Bates]

Right, David, I'll yield to you for your work because you're right. There's a lot more to break down on that meeting. So I will yield to you for another question, sir, if you choose.

[David Brody]

Oh, wow. Thank you so much. Excuse me. We're having a nice little bonding moment here. Look at me being Terrence.

[Terrence Bates]

Thank you.

[David Brody]

Oh, my goodness. But, but I think this is interesting, what essence is happening here with Saudi Arabia. And this is more esoteric, if you will, but America First. We hear so much about MAGA and America First. This is a good example to me of what President Trump means by maga, because he's getting something from Saudi Arabia. In other words, what's good for America. And we're hearing about $1 trillion worth of money coming in with Saudi investments. And kind of, that's the trade off. Right. But the America first crowd, I'm thinking of Marjorie Taylor Greene and others are saying, well, look, we don't deal with any of folks at all. And, you know, that shouldn't be part of the calculus. And I think that's the difference between kind of an America first approach and a MAGA approach. I think there's a difference here. President Trump is like, hey, we're getting something out of these countries. What's your take? Sure. Well, I'm America first, too.

[Terrence Bates]

I wouldn't.

[David Brody]

I think you give them too much credit calling them America First. I think they're more stupid Americans because. Because you cannot exist on an island. We need the world. For some things to do that, we need interaction, these countries, our trade is interlinked. We cannot live as an island in the world. And so America needs to advance policies that do put America First. And the fact of the matter is, there's legitimate concern that for too long, America did things that were not in America's best interest. But having a good relationship with Saudi Arabia, making sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon that they could and would use to strike the United States, that is America first. Standing with Israel were 7, 100,000Americans live. That's America first. Leveraging all of the technology that Israel creates, that's America First. So the problem is not America first versus maga. The issue is America first and MAGA versus some people who are simply stupid. Well, and real quick, sorry, T. Bates, but just. You're absolutely right. And that's why I think America first is a misnomer. It should really be. They should call themselves America only cuz this is the pure isolationist crowd that we're talking about which doesn't define MAGA writ large. I'm not saying there are aren't pure isolationists inside maga. There are, but it doesn't define maga. Go ahead. T. Bates. Sorry. Good point, Congressman.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, Congressman, I do want to shift gears just a little bit before we let you go. CNN is out with this headline which reads Federal Court Bars Texas from using new Republican friendly U.S. house map in the Midterms. The court ruled that Texas has to use a map from 2020. This of course is expected to hamstring Republicans in the state of Texas and Republicans overall moving into the midter. Would you go as far as calling this court election interference potentially?

[David Brody]

Well, I haven't had a chance to read the decision, but I'm not that worried about it because that decision will be appeal. This is the district level. There are two more levels until it ultimately gets resolved. And so I learned in Florida where we would pass great laws and then some liberal wacko in Tallahassee would overturn everything that we did that I just needed to wait until the more senior and seasoned judges got involved. I don't know the specifics on this case, but I'll wait till the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court weigh in.

[Dr. Gina]

Congressman Randy Fine, thank you so much for being with us today.

[David Brody]

Thanks for having me.

[Terrence Bates]

Thanks, Congressman.

[Dr. Gina]

All right, coming up, check out the hottest headlines from the RAV newsroom with tbase. Also later, President Trump said he would support a new sanctions bill against Russia. Would this bring Russia back to the negotiating table to end the war with Ukraine? We're going to analyze that soon on American Sunrise.

This news break is brought to you by amac.

[David Brody]

Association of Mature American Citizens, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Love Pittsburgh. Actually been there many times. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody. Coming up, are sanctions going to be placed on Russia? President Trump is saying at this point, absolutely. And to be clear, when I say on Russia, I should really clarify and say countries that are supporting and working with Russia. We're going to get the details in a moment. First though, T. Bates standing by with the latest headlines from the Real America's Voice. Real America's Voice newsroom. I can say it's sponsored by amac.

[Terrence Bates]

The association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice for Americans 50 and older. AMAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today. Together we can right the course of America. President Trump is expected to sign a bill as soon as today forcing the Department of Justice to release all of the Jeffrey Epstein case files. The measure passed in the US House with just one lawmaker voting against it. The Senate almost immediately decided to send the petition to the President's desk to be signed and enacted. For years, survivors of Epstein's abuse have been pushing for accountability. Many now hope the release of the documents will be another step towards outing Epstein's high profile associates who were involved in the abuse and potentially bringing them to justice. However, under the legislation, personally identifying information will likely be redacted. Everything else should be released though. Saudi Arabia is the United States newest non NATO ally. President Trump making the announcement on Tuesday night while hosting assisting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House. The duo also signed what the commander in chief describes as a strategic defense agreement. We have a very different Middle east.

[David Brody]

Than we had when I first came into office. Like I would say day and night, this opening up of the new avenues of cooperation between the United States and Saudi Arabia is really unprecedented.

[Terrence Bates]

As a major non NATO ally, Saudi Arabia will not be entitled to specific security guarantees from the United States. However, the Arab nation will be eligible to receive material and supply loans from the U.S. saudi Arabia will now also be one of 20 countries that can bid on contracts to maintain, repair or overhaul US Military equipment overseas. Other non NATO allies include Israel, Japan and New Zealand. While New Orleans is scheduled to become the next city to see an immigration crackdown, about 250 Border Patrol agents are set to descend on the city in the coming weeks as part of Operation Swamp Sweep. The goal is to arrest some 5,000 people across Louisiana and Mississippi. All of this is set to get underway starting December 1, with agents reportedly arriving as soon as tomorrow to begin staging equipment and vehicles. The FBI's field office in New Orleans, along with the small naval base just south of the city, will be used as staging areas and command posts. The New Orleans effort expands on operations already happening in Chicago, Los Angeles, and most recently Charlotte, North Carolina, just to name a few of the cities that have been targeted. That's a quick check of your headlines. We'll, of course, have more headlines coming your way moment momentarily. But first, let's get a quick check of your forecast with Weather Nation's Tracy Anthony. Also, we're going to put up our QR code that you can scan and join our Weather Nation team. You'll see that here in short order. There you have it right there. All right, let's check in with Tracy. Tracy, good morning. So you and I typically talk in the morning before we do our hits, and I have to say I'm awestruck. Snow in Hawaii.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

What?

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Yeah, you know, it's kind of crazy.

[Dr. Gina]

People don't always think of it, but.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

It actually happens about five to eight times a year.

[Dr. Gina]

But it's kind of crazy.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

It's happening before Denver gets their first snow.

[Dr. Gina]

So you can see whiteout conditions. This was on the summit of Mauna Kea. I hope I'm saying that right. My sister lived on Maui for a.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Few years, but it's a little too.

[Dr. Gina]

Early to call her to see if.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

She can you know, make sure I'm saying this accurately.

[David Brody]

But they had about 4 inches.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

So they had winter weather advisories throughout the day yesterday.

[Dr. Gina]

Now we have a couple other big.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Weather stories across the country. One of them is the Central Plains, then Columbia, Missouri, hail and rain. This was just round one. We're going to be bracing for more severe thunderstorms and actually the potential for.

[Dr. Gina]

Flooding here over the next couple of days.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

And the flooding potential is starting today down in Texas.

[Dr. Gina]

And you may notice Kerrville, Kerrville is Hill country in Texas.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

And this was the area that was impacted extremely hard over the Fourth of July weekend. So now they're under flood watches well through Friday. So, Terrence, we're going to be watching.

[Dr. Gina]

This area pretty closely.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

They could pick up 3 to 5.

[Dr. Gina]

Inches of rain over the next three days. So definitely a big story. And hey, we also want to make.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Sure we get in some hometown forecast today as well.

[Terrence Bates]

Absolutely. Looking forward to that. In our second hour, prayers going out to the folks over in the Hill country, Kerrville. Obviously, they're still trying to recover from this summer's flooding and now dealing with more of that. We'll check in with you next hour for that hometown forecast. If you're one of our lucky viewers, it might be just for you. Go on to our social media platforms, Getter Rumble, as well as YouTube. Let us know where you're hanging out, where you're watching. And you never know. You may be on Tracy's list for that hometown forecast. Up next, though, Iran says it is peaceful and its peaceful nuclear program remains intact despite the United States and the Israeli airstrikes on its nuclear sites. So what needs to be done on this? We'll have expert analysis ahead. Right now, though, a quick look at this day in history. It was on this date in 1863 that President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address and spoke at the dedication of the Soldiers National Cemetery in Gettysburg. In just a few minutes, he recast the Civil War as a battle for liberty and equality, equality. Calling for a new birth of freedom. He challenged those present to continue the, quote, unfinished work, to make sure that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. More American sunrise coming your way after this. At Real America's Voice.

Simply beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Where's the fort by the way? Can someone get back to me on that. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. All right, President Trump said this week he backs a push in the Senate to severely sanction countries like China and India and others that do business with Russia. As a matter of fact, it might also include Iran. Have a look at this. Is it time for Congress to move.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Legislation that puts pressure on Russia and.

[David Brody]

Puts pressure on Putin? Well, I hear they're doing that and that's okay with me.

[Terrence Bates]

They're passing legislation or putting.

[David Brody]

The Republicans are putting in legislation, legislation that very tough. It's sanctioning, etc. Etc. On any country doing business with Russia. They may add Iran to that. As you know, I suggested it. So any country that does business with Russia will be very severely sanctioned. We may add Iran to the formula. Yo. All right, for more, let's bring in retired Air Force Brigadier General John Teichert. General, thanks for being here. Appreciate your time. So this legislation in the Senate, it has over 80 co sponsors. I mean, it will happen. The leadership there in the Senate was pretty much just waiting for the President to give the okay, and obviously now he has. So the whole idea here obviously is to cut off the cash flow. Russia takes in on its energy exports because obviously that funds the war against Ukraine. Do you think this is going to work? What do you think? Good morning, David. Good morning. Thanks for having me. And I think the only way that you finally get Putin to negotiate in good faith is to make it sufficiently painful enough for him that he understands it is in his best interest to start negotiating and end the war. 30 to 50% of the Kremlin's revenue comes from energy exports. That means that these type of biting sanctions will continue to increase the pain in the Russian economy. In fact, the central bank leaders in Russia have publicly started to say that the economic conditions in Russia are dismal and the outlook is bleak. And this is the exact type of tool that can increase the pain threshold to bring Putin to the table.

[Dr. Gina]

Also, General, the UN Security Council has officially backed President Trump's 20 point Gaza peace plan with a resolution vote. The plan authorizes an international stabilization force and creates a U. S. Chaired board of peace. This will be led by President Trump. And this will be in an effort to rebuild and demilitarize Gaza. Pakistan, Turkey and other countries also have expressed interest in providing troops, but Israel doesn't want them involved. How much sway will this have in the region, Gina?

[David Brody]

I think it's very important for Israel to realize and us to remind them that they are in a very favorable position after the phase one portion of the 20 point plan. They effectively permanently control 53% of Gaza. Hamas is effectively militarily defeated. They've gotten back all of their living hostages. They've gotten back all but three of the remains of the slain hostages, and they're starting to rebuild their reputation in the international community. And so while Israel may not want certain countries on their border in Gaza, notably Turkey and Pakistan, the countries need to provide manpower in order to disarm and dismantle Hamas. All of it is going to be under the Supervision of the U.S. central Command Civil Military Coordination center to make sure that nothing happens in Gaza that would threaten Israel. But I think Israel needs to realize they're in a very favorable situation. The only way that we get to phase two and a permanent end to this war is if they take a little bit of latitude and accept some forces in the international stabilization Force that maybe they otherwise wouldn't want on their border.

[Terrence Bates]

General, let's stay in that region then and talk about President Trump just announcing that Saudi Arabia is now a non NATO ally. Put into perspective for us the importance of that designation, both when it comes to helping secure the Middle east and ensuring that Israel, for one, is safe as we move forward in the, in the peace process with Gaza. But secondly, and potentially more important, I'd like to get your thoughts on this. Neutralizing and isolating Iran put all of that into perspective for us, if you don't mind.

[David Brody]

Terrence, great question. And Saudi Arabia has been a partner of the United States now for several decades. And I think there are three big elements that a partnership with Saudi Arabia benefits the United States. And you mentioned two of them. Number one, that if we can get Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel, then now we unlock the true power of the Abraham Accords. That maybe gives us a glimmer of a chance for permanent peace in the Middle East. Secondly, Saudi Arabia is the biggest country, most effective military country in the region that can keep Iran in check. And by making sure that Saudi Arabia is sufficiently strong, then it does isolate and contain Iran so that any expansionist ambitions they would otherwise have can be contained and put to rest. And then the third point is that Saudi Arabia is an economic powerhouse that as a part of that meeting yesterday, they promised a trillion dollars of investments in the United States that is massively beneficial to us. And whether that's military, whether that's AI, whether that's energy, all of those things give us an opportunity to turn the page in the Middle east, to see it as a benefit to the United States instead of a detriment like we've seen it for the last several decades. General, what about. We've got about 30 seconds. What about those F35s? I mean Israel is the only ones that have those. Now Saudi Arabia gets their hand on those, which apparently they are. I mean they were. Saudi Arabia has a relationship with China. We don't want China having any potential intel on those F35s. No, we need to make sure that there are clear lines so that if we sell those F35s to Turkey, we turn that off a while ago. UAE, we turned it off a while ago. That there are barriers so that that great technology doesn't fall into the hands of an adversary that could reverse engineer it and create a threat to the United States. As a result, you can just really are going to be there. Sorry, real quick, are you concerned those barriers are there? Because they better be. This is big deal. No, it is a big deal. And anytime we make a foreign military sale, then there is some end use monitoring, which means that we monitor how they're used and how they're integrated into the overall force. And we need to be very clear in the description of those barriers when we ink this deal. Got it. Go ahead. To you Bates.

[Terrence Bates]

Now that that you you asked my question. I think we were generally on the same page. David, thank you.

[David Brody]

All right, General, thanks for being here. Appreciate your time. Thanks y'.

[Terrence Bates]

All. Thanks.

Belmont, North Carolina. Now, in answer to David Brody's question about Fort Lauderdale, the fort no longer stands. There were actually three forts. There's a reason why Fort Lauderdale was named Fort Lauderdale, but my understanding is all of those forts unfortunately are no longer in Fort Lauderdale. So there's the answer to your question, David Brody, as to why Fort Lauderdale is named Fort Lauderdale. Welcome back to American Sunrise. Why is American Sunrise named American Sunrise? Because we want to be the sunshine in your day. I'm Dr. Gina. Thank you for joining us. It is time now for today's health news sponsored by the wellness company under the Microscope today, the link between listening to music and lowering the risk for dementia.

Scientists say music stimulates multiple areas of your brain. Emotion, imagination, motor skills. These all build new pathways to keep your mind sharp. And I have personal experience with this. My aunt was in a nursing home for several years not responding to anything or anyone. I took a old fashioned little recorder with the tape in it of tie a yellow ribbon to her and she started dancing to it. She had not responded to anyone in years. It was amazing. She started dancing and singing every word. I met Tony Orlando last weekend and I got to tell him that story. And he was very touched and sweet.

David Brody. D Bro, can you believe I got to meet Tony Orlando and tell him that story about my aunt with Alzheimer's?

[David Brody]

David, it's honestly very cool and from a Gen X, almost a boomer perspective, it really impresses me.

[Dr. Gina]

Speak for yourself, David.

[David Brody]

Did you tie yellow ribbon around the old oak tree?

[Dr. Gina]

I mean, I get that that was just a little bit before generation, but it was. I remember that song becoming repopularized during the Gulf War.

[David Brody]

That's correct.

[Dr. Gina]

And that was a very Gen X war. Yeah.

[David Brody]

Oh, well. Okay. Tony Orlando and Dawn trivia here. Leave it to us to do that. Thanks for clearing up.

[Dr. Gina]

Tony Orlando, still alive, looks amazing and is now Uncle Tony to all of my children.

[Terrence Bates]

Really?

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, yeah. We became. We hit it off.

[David Brody]

I would like to meet. I want to meet Tony.

[Dr. Gina]

Okay, I'll make that happen. David.

[David Brody]

Oh, my gosh. Thank you. Excuse me, everybody.

[Dr. Gina]

We're working out a. David, we need to get back to you.

[David Brody]

Oh, I'm sorry. Okay, my bad. Sorry. Squirrel. Now over to Congress, where both the House and Senate both approved the much discussed bill that would compel the Justice Department to release all the Epstein files. The House voted to pass the measure 427 1. The Senate quickly advanced it by unanimous consent a short time later. Sorry, I'm chuckling, but wasn't this controversial? Now it's unanimous consent. In other words, there wasn't even a roll call vote. It now heads to President Trump's desk where he said he will sign it. We're expecting that at some point later today, I think. I don't know. I just make things up. But let's get the deal from Brian Glenn. He's of course, RAV's chief White House correspondent. Brian, is this going to happen today? Do we think there's going to be a signing ceremony even? What about Epstein's victims? I wonder if they're going to be there. I mean, the whole thing is just kind of Interesting in terms of the visuals and how this will play out. Oh, by the way, good morning. That was a rambling question.

[Terrence Bates]

Good morning. And Tie a Ribbon around that Old Oak Tree.

[David Brody]

Great. Classic tune.

[Terrence Bates]

I love it. Okay, so let's unpack a few things here. I have not got it any confirmation that that will take place today, but it passed unionist because in the Senate really before they even got it, which is very rare that something like that happens. And yes, it's really ironic that all Republicans for the most part, Clay Higgins was the only one that didn't vote and all Democrats came together for this. Now what happens next? He will sign it. Whether today, tomorrow, next week doesn't matter, but he will sign it this it will also go in the hands of the DOJ.

[David Brody]

Now when there's any elements inside an.

[Terrence Bates]

Investigation, if something is under investigation. Well, now the Epstein files has elements and people in that under investigation. You simply can't release the file. So it will be locked down for a short time, long time who definitely knows about that. But that now lies in the Department of Justice. So we'll see exactly what the timing on that is. But as soon as I get confirmation when President Trump is expected to sign that, I'll definitely let you know.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, he is on the record, Brian, saying that he will sign it the moment it hits his desk. So I don't know how you take that, but I take that as a suit.

[Terrence Bates]

Essentially it never really hit the Senate. It was unanimously consent even before the.

[David Brody]

House approved it last night.

[Terrence Bates]

So it's really maybe he might be sitting on there right now, who knows.

[David Brody]

Yeah, but yeah, what he said, I'm.

[Terrence Bates]

Sure he's going to sign it as.

[David Brody]

Soon as it touches.

[Dr. Gina]

But that won't necessarily be a press conference with a public signing.

[Terrence Bates]

As of right now on his schedule is not he is actually going to a Saudi investment forum a little bit later this morning. He has that. So that that signing is not on.

[David Brody]

The official schedule here at the White House. Of course, they can always add that.

[Terrence Bates]

To it a little bit later. So we'll see.

[Dr. Gina]

All right. Also, Brian, want to be sure we get your $0.02 in on President Trump meeting with the Saudi Arabian crown prince yesterday at the White House and a new investment deal, not a little one announced between the Saudis and the U.S. take a listen.

[Terrence Bates]

I want to thank you because you've agreed to invest $600 billion into the.

[David Brody]

United States and because there's me, my.

[Terrence Bates]

Friend, he might make it a trillion.

[David Brody]

But I'm going to have to work on him, but it's 600. We can count on 600 billion. But that number could go up a little bit higher. Yes, sir, I don't know. We'll see. But we appreciate it very much. So Saudi is going to be investing at least $600 billion. And that means investments in plants, in companies, money on Wall street and what it really means for everybody, that really counts as jobs. A lot of jobs. We have a lot of jobs.

[Dr. Gina]

A lot of jobs, Brian.

[David Brody]

Well, I didn't get started with the F35 flyover, the horse guided motorcade on.

[Terrence Bates]

Here, the 21 gun salute on the South Lawn. Big pageantry for this crown Prince. And then when they later got in the oval office, that 600 billion turned into now what we understand as $1 trillion of investment in the U.S. now, no specific timeline or when that's going to and what different areas as far as the industry that's going to be invested in AI certainly being one of them. One of the other big takeaways from yesterday is that President Trump has officially signed Saudi Arabia as kind of a non ally to the US non NATO ally, I should say, to the US and also with the strengthening of those F35s, gives them a little bit more stability and strength in that region. So and also the Abraham Accords, that was something that they were hoping they could bring Saudi Arabia into to stabilize, of course, that situation. But big, big meeting there in the OVOS office yesterday with the crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

[Dr. Gina]

What are the advantages and status, Brian, of being a non NATO ally?

[Terrence Bates]

That's a good question. Well, if someone was to attack, and I guess what you say is there's a couple of different situations, if someone was to attack them, that we have a agreement with that country that we would defend them. Now Joe Biden did that in the previous administration, named a list of countries that for whatever reason, security guarantees, I guess in a way you could say that. But what I want to be very careful and I'm going to make sure that this is factually true and I should probably say it, but when we guarantee security of another country, that means if that country is attacked in any way, shape or form, that we will defend them, which would mean service members from the US Our men and our men and our women that serve this country would then have to, I would assume, go over to that country and defend the country that we guaranteed security concerns for. So got to get all that clarified. But indeed, making a major step towards Saudi Arabia and establishing a stronger relationship as all those things in the Middle east develop.

[Dr. Gina]

Brian Glenn, thanks for your time. Appreciate you. Keep us posted on what's happening there today. Could get interesting.

[Terrence Bates]

It could.

[Dr. Gina]

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who was blaming ICE for the issues plaguing high speed rail and homelessness. Take a look at this.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

Well, let me just tell you that the rail is being built and in.

[David Brody]

Different areas, things have changed.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

But again, you know, our city, I.

[David Brody]

Mean, our city is massive.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

But I will tell you that prior to the immigration raids, we had record.

[David Brody]

High participation on public transportation. And that's a whole cultural shift in Los Angeles. But once the raids happened, then people became afraid. Hold on, I'm going to put the transportation to this.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

I will tell you that raids do continue in Los Angeles almost on a daily basis. It might not be 10 and 20 on one day, it might be two or three. But households are still being disrupted. And if you want to talk about the affordability crisis, let me just tell you that when you have raids, you.

[David Brody]

Depress economic sectors of our city that.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

Are dependent on immigrant labor.

[Terrence Bates]

And you also remove paychecks from households.

[David Brody]

And you know, our city is very expensive to live in now. And if you just take one paycheck.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

Out of a household by detaining somebody, you can literally throw that family into instability.

[David Brody]

They can't wind up on the street. I'm very worried about an increase in homelessness because of the ICE raids.

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.

[Dr. Gina]

Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's time now for our moment of faith, brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible in focus Today, God is moving in New York. The New York Post reports that adult conversions to Catholicism have tripled at some Parishes. As young Americans seek true meaning and moral foundation in a city ridden with chaos, people are turning to faith community and the church for stability. This is a spiritual renewal and a return to Christian values. For more, let's bring in the president of Catholics for Catholics, John. Yep. John, always great to see you on the show. What do you attribute to this revival? We're seeing it actually all over the country, but, but specifically in New York.

[David Brody]

The age old story that materialism, the things of this world do not ultimately satisfy the soul. So you have in the heart of New York City that, that symbol for the entire world. You have this massive uptick and conversion in this case specifically to the Catholic faith. I think three parishes, three major parishes noted that their, their numbers were for rcia, which is the, the yearly program to become official members of the Catholic Church has triple in each of those three locations. So this is a trend that we're seeing. I mean it's hard not to, to link it to when you see things like Mamdani winning the race. I know it's not the only factor, but the, the matter is people are seeing that something is off in society and so they're reaching going back to those things which do not change, which is ultimately God as we find them in the sacred scriptures.

[Dr. Gina]

Absolutely. You know, I think there's something to be said about the first American Pope too. John, you are so important to this program. While all of that was going on, I'm curious, how do you think Pope Leo has been doing in this position?

[David Brody]

You know, he's skipped, he's pleased both sides of times.

[Dr. Gina]

You know, I think he's really trying.

[David Brody]

To be that unifier in some capacity. You know, he said yesterday some very strong statements which are great to hear that care for the migrant does not mean open borders. Thank you Holy Father for saying that. Obviously, Charlie Kirk too. When you have a Christian martyr, you know, witness. We see that I lead a national movement which engages people politically, especially Catholics. And I see them wanting to turn towards action. They know and for them to be in the the world, they're going to need that touch with God. And people are turning back the Catholic faith in droves. That's an awesome thing.

[Dr. Gina]

I'm happy that you brought up Charlie Kirk as well. I know he was a friend of yours. John, comments on TP USA and just this massive surge in support that they've been getting. There's chapters all over the country that have been. People have been inquiring about opening chapters on college campuses. And faith is so important to TP USA as well.

[David Brody]

I think Jack Posoba passed out 3000 teachers in downtown New York City a couple days ago. So people are hungry for that. They want to, they, they want to gauge, they want to get active in that. At the same time, it's also troubling too to see some of the resistance.

[Dr. Gina]

To some of these new chapters being.

[David Brody]

Founded at these universities. The very thing that Charlie wanted was to engage in free speech. And yet there's again, the left is very, very strong. So we're up for a big clash. And I think it's in some ways important because we have two fundamentally different philosophies about how America should be run.

[Dr. Gina]

And those things are coming to a head.

[David Brody]

And it's people of faith that must win this battle because you cannot understand the United States of America without that faith component to it.

[Dr. Gina]

John? Yep. Keep doing what you're doing. Spreading Catholicism to the youth. We love to see it. Thanks for being on the show. We'll be back with the second hour of American Sunrise in just two minutes. Stick around.

Coming up Right now on this second hour of American both chambers of Congress, the House and the Senate vote to compel the DOJ to release their files on Jeffrey Epstein. So will President Trump sign the measure as soon as today. We'll have the very latest developments as they come in. And Republican lawmakers are racing to find a fix for Obamacare subsidies, which are set to expire in less than six weeks. Will this issue once again lead to the threat of another government shutdown? January 30th Analysis from a sitting congressmember straight ahead. And then later, new polling data reveals a growing majority of young voters want to see a socialist in the White House in 2028. This comes as radical leftists like Mayor elect Mamdani in New York continue to garner support from progressive voters. We'll unpack what all of this means for the future of the country. Those stories and so many much more right now on the second hour of American Sunrise.

[David Brody]

Good morning, America.

[Dr. Gina]

Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.

[Terrence Bates]

Politics.

[David Brody]

President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

[Terrence Bates]

We've got you covered.

[David Brody]

This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

[Terrence Bates]

We have to protect the American family.

[Dr. Gina]

The American dream is still alive.

[David Brody]

I'm David Brody.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm terrence.

[Dr. Gina]

And I'm Dr. Gina.

[David Brody]

Welcome back, 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. Happy hump day to both of you. You know, it's Wednesday night, so going to the Washington Capitals hockey game tonight. And I said, honey, why don't you come with me tonight to the game because we have season tickets. And, you know, and she, she's like, hockey game. I said, we'll go to dinner first. She's like, sounds good. I'll be there. And so there we go. And so there you go.

[Dr. Gina]

I feel her. I feel her. Yeah, I, Yeah, I don't know. I feel her.

[Terrence Bates]

Okay, I'm sorry. Now the, the man in me has got to come out. So when you say dinner, does that mean you get to go to the concession stand at the game or there's dinner before the game?

[David Brody]

No, no, listen, I'm a high class guy. Are you kidding me? Absolutely not.

[Dr. Gina]

He's going to go to Hardee's before the game. Terrence.

[David Brody]

Correct. Because they got special going on. That's right.

[Terrence Bates]

He's going to take for myself because that's probably what I would do again. I've told you guys, I'm cheap. I like to call it fist conservatism. So, you know, dinner might be all right. So look, I got a bag of popcorn, you got a hot dog and let's share. And it's so romantic. But you know, that's just me, so.

[David Brody]

Oh, that's not.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm working on myself. I'm working on myself.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

All right.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, guys, let's get to some of the headlines of the day. President Trump expected to sign a bill as soon as today forcing the Department of Justice to release all of the Jeffrey Epstein case files. The measure passed in the US House with Republican Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana being the only lawmaker, Democrat or Republican, to vote against it. The Senate almost immediately decided to send that petition to the president's desk to be signed and enacted. New Orleans is scheduled to become the latest city to see a major immigration crackdown. About 250 Border Patrol agents are set to descend on the city for Operation Swamp Sweep, which is slated to start December 1st. Preparations will reportedly start as soon as tomorrow. The goal is to arrest some 5,000 people across Louisiana and Mississippi and Saudi Arabia, now the United States newest non NATO ally. As a major non NATO ally, Saudi Arabia will not be entitled to specific security guarantees from the U.S. however, the Arab nation will be eligible to receive material and supply loans from the U.S. other non NATO allies include Israel, Japan and New Zealand. That's a quick check of your headlines. We'll, of course, have more headlines coming your way momentarily. But first let's check in with meteorologist, meteorologist Tracy Anthony. Tracy, good morning. You see the code there at the bottom? You can join our friends over at Weather Nation simply by scanning that code. But this is one of my favorite parts of the show. It's time for our hometown forecast.

[Dr. Gina]

Hey, yeah, you know, and yesterday I was asking where are viewers from California? Well, we've got a few that popped in.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

So this is the California Patriot in Rockland, California. Here's your forecast.

[Dr. Gina]

You're gonna have a pretty nice day today, but by this evening into tomorrow.

[David Brody]

You have a cold front that's gonna work on through.

[Dr. Gina]

It is gonna bring in some rain.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Showers, dial back those temperatures a little bit for Thursday, but then you're clearing out and you're gonna have a pretty.

[Dr. Gina]

Nice end to the week.

[David Brody]

But here across the desert southwest areas.

[Dr. Gina]

Like Phoenix going to be dealing with.

[David Brody]

A good amount of moisture.

[Dr. Gina]

They're under some flood watches. So we've got a few other hometown forecasts. This one's from Shane. Gonna take you out to Boone, North Carolina. A few nice days in the forecast, but some rain by Friday and Saturday that's gonna start to cool those temperatures down into the holiday week. But this morning they're pretty clear. But we do have some dense fog advisories out across the Gulf coast and fermenter Ohio. This is from Joe Schmo on YouTube.

[David Brody]

You've got a couple nice days as.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, but a lot of us as.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Always dealing with some rain for the weekend.

[Dr. Gina]

So a lot of us sunny today, rain between Thursday and Saturday. Those temperatures will cool down as well for Thanksgiving week. So a lot of us going to start to feel that chilly air. But the other big story here this.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Week is the rain across the Central Plains and across Central Texas.

[Dr. Gina]

So we already have flood watches in.

[Anabe Sofa Advertiser]

Place for areas of Central Texas, Kerrville included in that.

[Dr. Gina]

So 3 to 5 inches of rain could be expected over the next two days. So, Terrence, we're going to be keeping a close eye on that part of the country over the next few days.

[Terrence Bates]

Thanks so much, Tracy. Appreciate it. And once again, you see that QR code there at the bottom of your screen? Go ahead and scan it and join Traci and our friends over at Weather Nation. See you tomorrow, Tracy. Appreciate it.

[Dr. Gina]

See ya.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, let's get things over to David now. The big story of the day, those Epstein files to be released at some point, hopefully sooner than later, David, there's.

[David Brody]

No doubt about that. Clear skies in Congress. The House and Senate voting to order the Department of Justice to release all case files in Jeffrey Epstein. That happened last night. Only one member in the House dissented in the Senate. The bill passed through with unanimous consent, basically unanimous voice vote. The Epstein Transparency act now heads to the White House for President Trump signature. Joining us with an insider look. An insider look. Ooh, it sounds so juicy. It's Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany. Congressman, thanks for being back here on the show with us. You know, it is great, obviously that this bill passed, but the legislation does say that the attorney general may withhold or redact any material that would jeopardize an active investigation or national security. So you wonder if we are going to get some real answers here. Good morning. What do you think? Think, yeah, that's a real good Question. But sitting on the Judiciary Committee, we can compel testimony. If we think they're not releasing information that they should, we can compel that testimony. I've been for full transparency. I mean, you go back whether it's The Epstein case, January 6, whatever the case may be, Nancy Pelosi hiding information, all that stuff, I just believe in full transparency. That's what we owe the American people. They should know what we are doing out here. And hopefully this is going to take us in the right direction with the, with this release of the Epstein files.

[Terrence Bates]

Congressman, is it somewhat regrettable how all of this has been handled, the fact that it had to come to a vote there, to a discharge petition to get us to this point? It seems to me, and I'd love to get your perspective since you actually are sitting on the Judiciary Committee, this could have really been handled months ago when, when, you know, the DOJ initially came out, out and said, okay, well, we're going to release this information and then only release part of it.

[David Brody]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, it burned up all kinds of time here unnecessarily, and we can always second guess. Should have been done differently. I just believe in full transparency. We should just get the information out there to the American people. And now let's get on to some of the issues that are really going to help the American people. Yeah.

[Dr. Gina]

Okay. Congressman, we want to get your perspective on this. A handful of Democrat lawmakers posted a video last night calling for service members in our military and in our intelligence community to refuse what they are labeling illegal orders from the Trump administration. Here's a little bit of that video just to orient our viewers. Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk.

[David Brody]

This administration is pitting our US Uniform military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens like us. You all swore an oath to protect.

[Dr. Gina]

And defend this Constitution.

[David Brody]

Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.

[Dr. Gina]

I'll tell you, I wish that Republicans had made a video like that during COVID I'll tell you that much. But, Congressman, the president is the commander in chief of the armed forces. So by definition. Explain to me why this is not sedition.

[David Brody]

I can't explain to you that, Gina. All I can say is, isn't this deja vu with a party of lawlessness once again saying you have to obstruct Donald Trump in every way possible? That's what they were doing in his first term, and now they're doing it Once again. And they just feel like they carte blanche. Carte blanche can do it. I mean, I think about in our state of Wisconsin where we have state legislators now who are calling for the obstruction of ice, it is so clear, Democrats, regardless of the law enforcement agency, they simply are not on the side of law enforcement. And we keep need to keep driving that message that Democrats are the party of lawlessness. We believe that law, law enforcement should be respected. No doubt about that. Hey, let me ask you about what some of these you guys are going to be up to on health care. You're putting a plan together, say you. I mean, there's a plan, something's going on to address this Affordable Care act subsidy stuff set to expire in less than six weeks. This was obviously a key part of the debate and the government shut down and all that. That ended after a 43 day stalemate. So what reforms is the GOP looking at exactly to kind of help on the health care issue? And how much support on the Republican side would there be to extending these Obamacare subsidies? I'm assuming not much. But what's your sense of that? You know, I don't know what you guys think, but I think this has been really a good moment here where Chuck Schumer shut us down for six weeks to ensure that they'd win in Virginia and New Jersey. But it elevated this issue. And you have more Americans now that are saying, okay, so what is the problem with Obamacare? We know we're paying far too much for health care, so that certainly appears to be a problem. So in order to fix a problem, you first have to identify you have a problem. I think that has happened. Now how do we deal with a solution? And I'll tell you, one of the key ways that I'm focused on is essential health benefits, which was in the Obamacare law. It put mandates in place that basically mandated high cost health insurance. And so if you can afford it, and the Democrats are defending those people that are making a half a million dollars a year that they are able to access Obamacare, we need to make sure that those people that are getting health care also include the lower income because they've got fewer choices at this point as a result, in part because of this essential health care health benefits provision in there that needs to be reformed so that we can get people some low cost health insurance that works for them rather than the high cost insurance that Obamacare is.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, I mean, it just seems to me like so often the private sector could play such a major role what is it going to take for us just to go back to the way things? Medicine worked pretty well. My whole family were doctors. You know, I remember they used to make house calls and all the things. And it was such a much better system then. What would it take for us to go back to the way it used to be, where it was just really, truly privatized and individual?

[David Brody]

I think there's three keywords, Gina. Choice, competition, transparency. That's what's been eliminated. Think about the massive conglomeration of hospitals that we have now. I mean, we have taken away the family doctor that you're referring to. We need to give more choices. And that's why this essential health benefits provision is so important. If we would stop those mandates and allow people that want to have lower cost health insurance, if we gave them that option, we gave them that choice, they would have better health insurance that fits their life, not some bureaucrat in Washington's ideal of what health care should look like.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, it's so crazy. You know, growing up with doctors in my family, I never thought I would be embarrassed to tell people that I was from a family of doctors. But it's become a dirty word, as has hospital. And it's for exactly the reasons you're saying. I really hope we can get some reforms in place because I mean, this means lives.

[David Brody]

Yeah, it does. No doubt about it. Yeah, we really appreciate your time. Bring back Marcus Welby, M.D. you know, I'm dating myself. Hey, David, I gotta weigh in on the hockey game. You are right to take your wife to that hockey game. It's far better in person than on television. Tell her she's gonna love it, watching it in person and she's gonna love.

[Dr. Gina]

The filet mignon ahead of it.

[David Brody]

Oh my gosh. Forget the dinner. Let's go to the hockey game. All right. I agree, Congressman. I love it. By the way, great website, hockeyfights.com but that's a separate issue. Okay, thanks for being. Oh, whatever. All right, appreciate you as always. That's Wisconsin common sense right there. Coming up, Democrat senators, including Elizabeth Warren, speaking of anti common sense, are pushing for a new investigation into what they call partisan messaging on government websites during the 43 day shutdown. Details when we come back.

[Dr. Gina]

Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm American Sunrise contributor Emily Finn. Time now to drain the swamp. And this morning we are flushing out Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and other Senate Democrats are calling for a full investigation into what they say was partisan messaging on official government websites during the record long government shutdown. Senator Warren and Adam Schiff want the Government Accountability Office to determine whether the Trump administration improperly used federal resources to blame Democrats for the stalemate. The GAO says it's now reviewing the request as lawmakers continue to trade blame over the shutdowns of causes. For more, let's bring in David Brody, Terrence Bates, and Dr. Gina Terrence. Your thoughts on this?

[Terrence Bates]

Phooey. Come on Democrats. You know who's I really have some other choice words, but phooey is the first thing that's TV friendly that comes to mind. Yeah, you know I can't even spell phooey right. I don't know if it's a ph or an f, but either way it's phony from the Democrats. They know this is all about Adam Schiff. Excuse me, not Adam Schiff. They know this is all about Senate Democrats and their holdout, and they realize that this is happening on their watch and that they're responsible, and they're simply trying to shift the blame. And all of this, again, comes back down to trying to derail Donald Trump's agenda. That's ultimately all this is about, and it's their fault, and they're simply trying to shift the blame. David.

[David Brody]

Yeah. By the way, Gina, on a separate note, I like how you knew how to spell phooey right away. You're like, it's a phone. Yeah. It's a ph.

[Dr. Gina]

It comes from a few years of teaching, and then you kind of learn how to spell things. The kids are gonna write. Yeah.

[David Brody]

Very nice. Oh. So back to what we were talking about.

[Dr. Gina]

Oh, yeah, that.

[David Brody]

Yeah. Can I get some screenshots of Democrats back when they were in control of the White House and all of these administration agencies, please? Let's queue up some screenshots. I'm gonna find them. Darn it. I got nothing better to do today after I take my nap. I'm gonna do that, and I'm gonna find out. Because, you know, Gina, they were doing that. Come on. They do the same thing. Please sue yourself.

[Dr. Gina]

Honestly, I don't even know what we're talking about, because, Emily, you had me at flush, Elizabeth Warren. Like, that's all I heard, and I didn't hear the rest of it, and then I heard phooey. And that's about all I have for you today. I don't know. It's Wednesday. It's midweek. Phooey with a ph.

[David Brody]

And by the way, she looks so angry all the time, doesn't she? She's always angry.

[Dr. Gina]

Oh, yeah, in the fashion sense.

[David Brody]

It's just.

[Dr. Gina]

What is that hairstyle? Did she go in there?

[Terrence Bates]

I knew you were gonna go there, Doctor.

[Dr. Gina]

What did she say to the stylist when she went in? Like, I want to look like I have a hat on without wearing a hat. Oh, my gosh. Gina, Gina, Gina. She is a beautiful Native American woman.

[David Brody]

That's right. 0.0074. Whatever.

[Dr. Gina]

How soon we forget.

[David Brody]

Oh, gosh.

[Dr. Gina]

All right, drain them all.

[Terrence Bates]

You know, it's time to move on. The government is back open. And it's a shame that Democrats are still trying to play the blame game. They know what this really is. Just stop talking about it, and let's get to the business of the country and moving this country forward. You already derailed it long enough for 43 days. Let's move on, let's move on. Stop the suits, stop the BS and let's move on. Go ahead, David. Sorry.

[David Brody]

No, I was gonna say. And by the way, what conversation around the dinner table's going like this? Hey, did you what Elizabeth Warren did today? I mean, no one cares about this. I mean, in terms of like, like regular Americans, like Elizabeth Warren, do your thing, whatever, I don't care.

[Dr. Gina]

Go to a stylist.

[David Brody]

Pocahontas. Yeah.

Kind of a mixed bag. As you can see. The Dow is down a little bit. Pretty much everything other than crude oil on our board up at the point, at the, at the moment, or at least kind of flat. We of course will continue to monitor it for you. And again here in just a few minutes, we'll take you to the New York Stock Exchange for the opening bell as we do pretty much every morning. First though, let's get you over to David Brody. David, that green on our board maybe kind of foreshadowing that we're going to talk to two jets fans.

[David Brody]

Oh, so nicely played. Yes, correct. That's what's going to happen. So let's do that now. Time for our daily dose of dollars and common sense with American Center's early edition host. The guy behind the Jakes takes substack and a former boxer, by the way, who went by the name of the Gefilte Fish Kid. That's not true. That is not true. Oh, and a Jets fan, Jake Novak. Gefilte Fish Kid? Really? That's intimidating. I got the horseradish haymaker coming right at you. Horseradish haymaker? Oh my gosh. I've never heard gefilte fishing boxing in the same sentence until now. Okay, Jake, it's been a few days now in a row of steep sell offs in the stock market. We're seeing some green this morning. Is this a bear market though? Happening right now. What's going on? Help me out. Well, you know, we could be on the verge of that, I think. Listen, only a fool says we're definitely not having a bear market or we're definitely not having a bull market. You know, there's a lot of fools who do that and get paid to do that and then like Jim Cramer who never gets any punishment at all for all of his bad calls. So I'm just going to give it to you straight. I'm concerned, I don't think that I don't love the fact that so much money went into AI and these investors keep getting cold feet about it. It they're like these bachelors with a 10 year engagement and they keep going back and forth like I don't know if I want to do this and then they do. So we're going to find out later today in video. My favorite non sexy company. Very hard to talk about on TV because there's no good video to show you. But Nvidia, they make AI chips. I know it's boring as heck but they are going to report not only their earnings but more importantly give you us their outlook for the rest of the year and for next year. Later today after the closing bell, investors are waiting on that. So one of the reasons why Terrence was showing basically a flat day is because a lot of investors are just going to keep their powder dry until they see the Nvidia numbers. Some crazies will heavily bet one way or the other because they got the money to burn. But most of them are going to keep their powder dry today. And I'm going to let you know tomorrow whether I think we're in headed for a bear market or not. I think that the economy is generally okay. It's a B minus economy, whereas you got to be D or D minus for, for a huge recession to have it happen or worse. But you know, I got to find out what happens with these stocks and this overinvestment in AI which they're trying to justify every other day. Interesting. A B minus. Real quick to just to follow up on that. So when Trump came into office, what was the economy from a great perspective? You're saying it's improved to a B minus though? Yeah, yeah. We were at a D because we had, we had runaway inflation. Inflation doesn't just stop, it is growing much slower. Thank goodness. We've had a slowing of inflation and we've also had some deflation and some key prices, most notably gasoline and eggs. But you know, we're still in a situation where we have a lot of work to do. And the Trump administration is very much on page with this. I don't know if you like all their solutions, but they're certainly paying attention to it. This is not a in the bubble, George Bush looking at his watch. I don't want to talk about the economy kind of administration. Yeah, good point. All right, let's talk about the price of gefilte fish. No, let's not do that. But you mentioned gefilte fish. Now we're going to talk about Shakir. I have no idea how we. This is a business segment, but as we all know, Shakira's hips don't lie. I can't believe I said that. But when it comes to economic sentiment surveys, America's lips do lie. That was very nicely played by you. The Christmas season retailers know this, so explain. Very, very wonderful. Wonderfully written, by the way. Yeah, you know, I don't love economic reports. You know that. And my least favorite is the consumer sentiment. Which one? What person is going to whistle past the graveyard and tell the pollster like, yeah, I'm feeling great. I got money coming out my wazoo.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm rich.

[David Brody]

Yes, rich, rich, rich. Like Scrooge McDuck or Daffy Duck. That's not what anyone ever says to these pollsters. And so very often they basically downplay what they really think about the economy. What we really need to see is what your hips are doing, what your credit cards doing, what your money is doing. And the big retailers out there are already seeing signs of heavy spending for the Christmas season, and they are expecting good numbers. Not everyone's going to reap that reward. We had Target just come out now and say they're not doing so great, but that's because Target's competitors are eating their lunch a little bit. So that's what's going on here. Remember, don't. The consumer sentiment report is a worthless report unless you're just betting on the number with a friend and you know, and you do a little side bet. Other than that, it tells you nothing. Yeah. Got it. By the way, getting news about Larry Summers resigning. So you want to talk about that? Because the whole AI Company, I know he goes back to the Clinton administration, but of course, all over. Epstein, Go ahead. We got about 20. You're looking for a big loser in this whole Epstein files thing. The biggest loser this week by far is Larry Summers, former Harvard president, former treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, currently a university professor at Harvard, which is the highest level of academia. You can achieve these emails that he sent Jeffrey Epstein as late as 2019, six years after his first conviction, just before his biggest last conviction, filled with disgusting innuendo. I mean, not even you. And just details of his affair, an affair he was having outside of his marriage with the Chinese economist, asking for advice, saying that Epstein is his wingman. I mean, I'm convinced that a lot of Epstein's business had to do with a lot of rich, powerful people who didn't know how to talk to girls. And so they got involved with Epstein. Summers has had to resign from the board of Open AI. And he may be out at Harvard too, by the way. All right, gotta run. You're the best. Appreciate you as always. Time now for the stock market opening bell.

[Dr. Gina]

All right. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks again for joining us this morning. We invite you to hop in our conversation on YouTube, getter and rumble. It is time now to take the political pulse of America and our beat. Today, a new survey painting a striking picture of where America's youngest voters want the country to head. In 2028, a majority of voters found that those under 40 say they want a Democrat socialist in the White House next election. A dramatic generational shift that researchers say reflects years of influence from parents, teachers, social media and even churches. The national poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports in the Heartland Institute finds that 51% of voters age 18 to 39 favor electing a Democrat socialist president with support strongest among the youngest adults. Now, this poll comes on the heels of the election of Zofran Mohammedami, of course, in the city of New York, a Democrat socialist who enjoyed strong support from young voters there in the Big Apple. Joining us now with reaction, the host of Last Call with Mike Crispie here on rav. Mike Crispy, good morning.

[David Brody]

Good morning.

[Dr. Gina]

Mike, your reaction to this? You know, I want to push back just a little bit at this. I'm not going to deny the indoctrination right of all of the places that we named and cited. But I want to say we are talking to a generation of people involving Gen Z who will in all statistical likelihood at this point, because of the debt we have accumulated in this country, never own their own home, never have a job that puts them ahead of where their parents were, and never see the fulfillment of the American dream the way that we have. I think they have something to be ticked about. I don't think Democrat socialism is the answer to that or communism as I like to call it. But I do think that they have a legit beef, don't they?

[David Brody]

They absolutely do. And it's very well put. You know, I was speaking last week to a group of Turning Point action and young folks, high school, college age, and they gathered and we were talking about why young people are voting for Zoron and voting for left this. They see it on TikTok. They see it on social media. They see the flashy appeal of free stuff. They see somebody coming to them with nice edited clips and footage saying, you've been screwed. You don't have this. We're going to give you a free bus. We're going to give you equality, we're going to give you opportunity, we're going to Give you something to feel good about because you can't feel good about your own life, because you can't get married, you can't have a family. They discouraged people from, from finding the church. They discourage people from having good interpersonal bonds. They encourage isolation and they encourage a consistent state of being in fear and living on antidepressants and just feeding into the worst things. So it's a really sad state of affairs. And I think that young voters, unfortunately, are turning to the left. Trump got them back, especially young men. But now it's going to be on us in the next couple of years to get the young women to go along, to come back into this coalition. We're doing good with young men. We need to be able to get the young women back in the tent, too. I think that starts with empowering our young men, teaching them how to be God fearing, bold, courageous young adults. That'll then help get the women to come back to us. Because I'm telling you guys, that is a big problem right now amongst young voters is the young women are breaking for Democrats massively. We need to do a better job with that. Such a great point, Mike. Yeah. And these poll numbers just scare the bejesus out of all of us, by the way. I mean, we better be prepared for that. Let me move on to this redistricting stuff. So this federal court, as you know, has just blocked Texas from using that newly drawn congressional map in next year's midterm. The decision could have, obviously, a major impact on the elections in 2026. So Texas officials are going to uphe appeal it to the Supreme Court. I'm assuming the Supreme Court eventually will take this up. I think they're going to have to. But, you know, once again, this, this whole math of the redistricting stuff, I mean, this is getting a little bit complicated. Indiana's rebuffing President Trump. I mean, the last thing the Republicans need right now in a close House is for any of this to go south quickly. Yeah. And in California, they obviously passed the Prop 50 bill which allows California to redistrict. So. So, you know, the Democrats are playing for keeps, guys. I think that's abundantly clear. California passed Prop 50. Texas, obviously, we're fighting that out in the courts. But in Indiana, we have Republicans rebuffing the plan. If California is doing it, if Republican states like Indiana are saying we're not going to do it, and in states like Texas are getting held up in the courts, the judge saying you have to honor the 2021 map. If that's the case and we're not finding a spot to equalize what they're doing in California, we're going to have problems because again, this happened and California passed it on the ballot. Texas was the first state to do it. So now unless we have another state that's going to come on board, like Indiana or another red state that's going to want to do that, then we're going to be screwed here because California is going to get their map. And that map is a gerrymandered mess, guys. It is an absolute mess. It is going to decimate any Republican representation in the state of California. We need to get tough in places like Indiana, especially where we can control it. I know Texas will have to be fought out, but red states where we can control it, because every state's different with how they do redistrict and how the laws are. We need to look at those opportunities and we need to equalize what they're doing in California. Democrats always play for keeps. We gotta wake up. Otherwise the next two years are gonna be impeached, Trump Central every single day, and we won't get anything done. It is a dire wake up call that I think people are not taking seriously enough.

[Terrence Bates]

Guys. Yeah. Mike, before we let you go, want to get your take on the GOP effort in the US House to remove Judge James Boasberg. The House Freedom Caucus introduced an impeachment resolution against Boasberg for his role in Jack Smith's Arctic Frost probe. And now members are rallying to move that resolution forward. What do you make all of this? Is there enough support in Congress, in your opinion, to make this actually stick? To make it happen?

[David Brody]

Yes. I mean, I think that Congress, especially Mike Johnson at the helm, they need to get tough on things like this. You never would have the opposite situation going on where you would say that if the Democrats wanted to get rid of somebody that they wouldn't line up and support and rally behind the cause that the leader wants. Mike Johnson needs to be tough. Whenever the Democrats want to rally for their own cause, even if it's disgusting and egregious, just like when they blocked the censorship of that woman who was texting with Jeffrey Epstein during the hearing, they'll defend anything. Okay? If we can't even rally support to get a judge impeached or somebody impeached who is clearly defying the Constitution and targeting and using weaponized lawfare, if we can't do that, then we have a bigger problem with leadership in the House gop. It's kind of been the theme of the segment, guys. But the next couple of months are so crucial because we're coming into the election year 2026, and if we don't get tough on this and start playing to win instead of trying to play to some, you know, independent voter that they think is out there, that we win by being soft on this, then we're going to lose everything and it's not going to be good.

All right? So hit that QR code and join the movement. All right, you guys, you probably have heard that most Americans are deficient in vitamin D. The sun is essential and we've been lied to about this. We get vitamins from the sun and government and marketers have lied about this for years. We need sun, but toxins and poisons in our food cause inflammation, can cause health problems and can age us. Fortunately, today's special guest can help us rejuvenate our complexions and reclaim a gorgeous glow. Her name is Kristin Malia. She's a renowned beauty journalist and she has traveled the world to help find and source the best skin care products. Kristen has worked with Hollywood, A list makeup artists and top thought leaders in the beauty industry. So if there's anyone who's had their finger on the pulse of the latest breakthroughs in skincare and what's working now, it's her. Kristin, welcome to the show. Good to have you. Kristen, what do you have to share with us today. Well, first off, thank you so much for having me. I am so excited to share one of my recent skincare finds, which is an amazing company called Purin. Purance is an organic skincare company turning heads in Elle and LA Weekly. To date, they have helped more than 60,000 women fall in love with their skin complexion again. And you know what? They are a clean beauty company. So there are no harsh preservatives, which I totally love. That's everything. That's everything. I mean, you know, it takes you a while though, you know, to realize like how many really bad products you're using and then to get rid of them because you have collections of them if you're like me. Most of us today know that we don't want synthetic chemicals and harsh preservatives in our skincare. We want things that are made of things that are naturally in our skins, in our systems already. So gentle organic skin care, it's a breath of fresh air. What else can you tell us about this product? Yeah, so appearance is of everything you just said, right? It's gentle, but it's also effective. So one of my favorite products is the Cellular Restore Serum, and it contains an ingredient called bakuchiol. This is a gentle alternative to retinol. In a small focus group, 93% of women saw fewer wrinkles in just three weeks when using the Cellular Restore Serum. So basically, you get all of the benefits of retinol, but without the redness and the harshness. Then there is the Cellular Moisturizing Serum. Oh, my gosh. The Cellular Moisturizing serum contains tremella mushroom which penetrates the skin deeper than hyaluronic acid. So that's a really big deal. It is an amazing moisturizer. Then there's the Organic Lift and Glow eye cream. Okay, if you have have dark circles under the eyes, we all kind of get those. And you want to reduce the appearance. You're going to love Lift and Glow. It also helps restore a radiant complexion. And last but not least, one of my all time faves is the even Glow. It contains Kakadu plum, which has 100 times more concentrated vitamin C than oranges. So it is amazing when it comes to reducing the appearance of dark spots. All right. And I understand that the company has a special offer just for our viewers today. Tell us us. Absolutely. So today you can get 35% off all Purin products. All you have to do is go to parents.com the code sunrise, when you check out, put that in, you'll get 35% off again, all of the products. And you'll also get their industry leading money back guarantee that lasts for 365 days. So you've got nothing to lose. Kristen, thanks so much for joining us today. All right, and for our viewers, remember, head over to peerance.com, enter coupon code sunrise at the checkout. That's P U R E a n c e.com and coupon code sunrise. That'll save you 35%, you guys.

Today, liberal comedian Bill Maher, the Real Time host, says he's done doing stand up shows not just because of age or travel, but because he no longer feels safe on stage. In a new podcast conversation with Patton Oswalt, Maher says today's political climate makes touring too dangerous. The 69 year old also opened up about low ticket sales, audiences aging out and the backlash that he's faced from others on the left and why he's happy to leave the woke train behind. Here he is talking about all of this on Monday.

[David Brody]

A number of things. Just get tired of the travel.

[Terrence Bates]

Obviously I miss doing it.

[David Brody]

Also, I feel like it was a great choice because I don't want to be out there in this country in this political atmosphere.

[Terrence Bates]

I could get shot by the left or the right.

[David Brody]

Yeah, well, it's, I mean, it's just.

[Terrence Bates]

It'S a good time to not be out there.

[Dr. Gina]

For more, let's bring in David Brody, Dr. Gina and Terrence Bates. Dr. Gina, I must say I have been tuning in to Bill Maher more lately because he just recently interviewed Youngblood, my favorite rock star of all time. But he's making some perfect sense here. Yeah, he really is. And for any of us who have been on book tours lately or, or speaking engagements, the security is just next level. It's changed everything. You can't just be on stage and then go down and talk to the audience like you used to or go down and sign books or hats or whatever like you used to be able to. You can't do that stuff anymore. It's a wall of security. And I think it's sad because my favorite thing about what I do is interacting with, with my audience. And so it really makes me sad. So I feel for what he's saying. I don't deny it. You don't feel as safe anymore. David.

[David Brody]

Well, look, he was correct except for three words when he said or the right in terms of getting shot and killed. I mean, come on. Or the right. I mean, if anything, the right has embraced him more. So it's the left that's ticked off at him. And so, and by the way, let's just go down the history of far left violence in the country. So you put the two together and he should be concerned about the left, T. Bates, not the right.

[Terrence Bates]

Yeah, I'm going to veer to the right a little bit on his comments. I think in principle, yes, he's right. The environment across the country right now is much more of a toxic environment. I'm not so sure that's the only or the leading factor that led him to say I'm not going to tour anymore. I suspect the fact that ticket sales are down pretty significantly and that he's just not that funny anymore on stage probably helped to inspire to motivate that decision. And again, that's not to negate his point about the current environment in this country. There is something to be said for that, but I'm just not so sure that's the overriding reason for his decision making.

[David Brody]

I watched the whole interview real quick. And the main reason is because he's 70, he's 69, basically 70 years old. And he says, look, look, times have moved on. You know, these are younger comedians that selling out in arenas and I'm 70 years old and I'm becoming more irrelevant. He's happy with his HBO show and that's that.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, I happen to like him more than I ever have. So I don't know, maybe I'm just not a very good gauge. I'd have to agree with you, Gina.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

All right.

[Dr. Gina]

Still to come on American Sunrise, a touching moment. You don't want to miss a phone call between two best friends of over a decade. Wow, that's going viral for all the right reasons. The Sunnyside opposite next, when American Sunrise continues. Don't miss it.

All right. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for joining us today. Time now for our sunnyside. Up in the pan today, a touching moment between best friends. In Frisco, Texas, just north of Dallas, the father of newly born Bo Dyson recorded a FaceTime call he made to share the good news with his best friend, Adam. Now, during the call, the father, Omar, popped a very important question, and the reaction is melting heart hearts across the country.

[Terrence Bates]

I was calling to tell you something with this.

[David Brody]

You see this? What about what? The pacifier.

[Terrence Bates]

Nah, bro, it. It's not technically there, bro. I wanted to. I wanted to ask you to be his godfather.

[David Brody]

Oh, man.

[Terrence Bates]

Oh.

[David Brody]

Of course, bro.

[Terrence Bates]

Oh, yeah, man. I couldn't think of anybody better, bro.

[David Brody]

Absolutely. Right now.

[Terrence Bates]

Right now.

[David Brody]

Yeah, bro. Yeah, man. Listen, you deserve it, bro.

[Terrence Bates]

You my guy.

[iHeart Advertising Host]

You do.

[Terrence Bates]

Adam, I love you. You, bro.

[David Brody]

I love you, too.

[Dr. Gina]

I'm sure I told you guys it's allergy season here in Hug Beach. What a beautiful moment. Are you godfather to anybody? Either of you?

I am. I am my goddaughter Jordan. My. My college friend Mark asked me similar, and we were young like this. I wasn't even married. I was probably 25. And Mark had Jordan, and he called and said, you know, hey, I want you to be her goddaughter. And I was like, bruh, I'm still struggling to pay bills. I'm not ready to be anybody's godfather. And he said, I trust. And still, it does move me. Still to this day, he said, I trust you. I trust you more than anybody else. And I know if push came to shove, you would take care of her. And now, 26. Jordan is 26 now. Yeah. 26 years later, you know, she is still a blessing. I probably should have done a much better job and had a closer relationship, but I still hold her dear.

Yeah, well.

And take care. Take care of that person in a godly Christian environment and home. I mean, that's kind of what that's about. At least that's my understanding, Dr. G. I mean, that's kind of what. That's a big part of it, obviously. So I love it. Now, that's a FaceTime call, by the way. That's an awesome face. I normally get FaceTime calls saying, Witchcraft. Should we get these crackers? You know? But anyhow.

Well, my first godmother left with my dad, so that's not the best story ever about godmothers. But then I replaced her with Peggy Jo, and Peggy Jo is still my godmother to this day, and I love her very much. You guys, war room is coming up next. Hug your children. Love God, Go boldly now. Live the truth. We'll see you tomorrow.

[David Brody]

See you, everybody.

[Terrence Bates]
