Just ahead on American Sunrise, the fight for health care reform. A new bill could extend Obamacare subsidies for two years. What does this mean for our health care? We'll ask Congressman Mark Alford. Plus, President Trump says he remains hopeful that a peace deal to end the Russia Ukraine war can happen. How likely is it? We have expert analysis also. Later, RAV on the road, we take you to New York to hear from real Americans on issues impacting them. We have those stories. So much more as AMERICAN SUNRISE starts right now.
David Brody
Good morning, America.
Dr. Gina
Welcome to AMERICAN sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
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. Good morning, Everybody. 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. t. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, gentlemen.
David Brody
Dr. G and T, Dr. Gene and David. Good morning. Hey. Let's start things off just a little bit different than we normally would. We are going to get back to you, but want to take you to New York and check in with what real Americans are talking about leading up to Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday. RAV's David Zier is at the Bethpage Embassy Diner in Long Island. David, I think I said that right. Long Island. Hey, so look, I would imagine that a lot of people are talking about affordability. Oh, they are even applauding us. I love it. Good morning. Hey, good morning. How are you here? We're at the legendary Bethphage Embassy Diner and we're going to talk to these great patriots here, small business owners, commuters to New York City, congressional candidates, the Nassau county executive mulling a run for governor in New York here bordering New York City. We're going to talk about the issues of the day. What affects them? How do we keep young people here in New York? How do you pursue the American dream? How do small business owners cope with high insurance, high utilities, high taxes, labor shortages and all kinds of problems? So but this place is phenomenal. They've been here for 70 years. Say the Beth Page Diner. Unbelievable. They decorate it to the nines for every holiday. And I'm so proud to be with these great Americans. And we're going to bring them on camera and let them share their thoughts with you for the holiday weekend. David, I'm definitely looking forward to hearing their thoughts. As I was saying, kind of in the intro, affordability is a word that we've heard really tossed around over the last couple of months. Is that a word that's front and center for most of the people there behind you? It is 100% front and center. People have had to modify, you know, say, holiday plans, shopping at the supermarkets and stuff like that. But people are worried here in Nassau County, Suffolk County, Long island, communities that have commuters to New York City, the NYPD retiring in record numbers, fdny, firefighters, financial services, people being laid off in New York here, going to Texas, going to Florida. So we're going to discuss, you know, what are some of the solutions. I got some great views from these guys here. They're informed, they're active, a lot of MAGA supporters here, and it's going to be a great day. All right, David, looking forward to chit chatting with you throughout the show and hearing from them. Please tell them that I'm asking them to give themselves a round of applause for being here with us this morning. Looking forward to talking with all of you later on. Give yourself a round of applause, guys. Yeah, we love these people. There's a lot more people coming down. Thank you so much. Absolutely. Thank you. David, we'll check in with you here in just a little bit. Now let's get you back over to Dr. Gina for your Bible verse, and then we'll continue to move on with the show. Gina, David, good morning to both of you.
Dr. Gina
Good morning to you.
David Brody
Thanks.
Dr. Gina
Let's get to today's Bible verse. It's from Romans 15:13. Now, may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. I read something this morning in my Bible study that I wanted to share along the lines of peace because I think it's so important. It says the Bible. Never one time you guys ever calls us to be peacekeepers. Not one time. Peacekeeping is conciliatory. It's not courageous, Right? It's. You're a limp rag, right? We're called to be peacemakers. Peacemakers requires courage, requires bravery, requires contending in the arena and requires personal strength and prayer. That is the kind of strength and hope that only the Holy Spirit Spirit can give us. And right here at home, where policy meets everyday life, the White House is expected soon to unveil a framework for the health care plan. It reportedly includes a two year extension of Obamacare subsidies set to expire at the end of next month and other limits on eligibility. As part of the bill to reopen the government, the Senate agreed to have a vote on the subsidies. For more, let's bring in Missouri Congressman Mark Alford. What you need when the world seems crazy, and it seems crazy to me today, Congressman, is a little bit of that Missouri common sense. Mark allford what are we even having a conversation about extending welfare subsidies? What?
David Brody
I know it seems ridiculous, but this is the crisis that the Democrats have led us to. Now they came up with a plan to extend these subsidies for those on Obamacare, which was failed to begin with. And they set the deadline for these to expire at the end of the year. Now we Republicans, we need to come up with something. I hear this. I visited all 18 of our rural hospitals now in our district in Missouri. And, and the, the point that I get from these administrators and hospital workers are, are twofold. Number one, something has to be done. The insurance companies need to be reined in. The prior authorization factors need to be changed somewhat. And we've got to do something to make health care affordable. What do we do? Well, August Pfluger, the chair of the Republican Study Committee, has come up with a plan to protect preexisting conditions, to give family real alternatives and give employers more flexibility. What we are doing right now is not working. The problem is we are up against the wall. We are operating out of crisis, which is not good. And we look, folks, we only have 24 days, 24 days until the end of the continuing resolution. So we've got to get some movement on health care. We've got to get the remaining of these nine appropriation bills done or we could be headed for another government shutdown if the Democrats pull the stunt that they did back in August, September. Yeah, I hear you on all that. Congressman. Let me just get back to what the White House supposedly was potentially proposing and now it's kind of like on hold and they're trying to figure it out. They were talking about this two year subsidy to extend subsidies by two years. Now I know they wanted income caps and all of that, but is that going to fly in Congress? Help me out. What am I missing here other than the political part of this, which is that maybe they think that if people's premiums go up in January, they're going to be hurt politically in the midterms. But other than that, why in the world would they do something like this? There's a lot of pushback from members of Congress, including myself. We know that these Covid era subsidies are not for the long term. That's why there was an expiration date set on them. But we also know that something has to be done. If we continue to operate out of fear, fear of losing the midterms, we're not going to get anything done for the American people. So we've got to have a plan. The American people are saying, where is your plan? There are different plans floating out there. The leadership in Congress is going to do listening sessions to try to get input from the American people. I feel like we should have been doing this for the last two years. We knew this deadline was coming as well. And I think we, we have a responsibility to the American people to improve on the failed Obamacare. Again, that's not on the Republicans that Obamacare passed and that these subsidies were put into place by the Democrats for the COVID era subsidies. But I think we do have a responsibility. We have great leadership. We have great committee chairs that are also committed to this. Through Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means, we can get something done. But again, the clock is ticking. 24 days to another possible government shutdown. I hope that doesn't happen. Or more continuing resolutions. My, my priority, though, is to get these nine appropriation bills done off the House floor and over to the Senate. You mentioned fear of losing midterms being somewhat of a motivating factor potentially. Talk about how real that fear is and the sorts of conversations that may even be happening behind the scenes with you and your colleagues. And what comes to mind is a Texas voting map that's currently on hold that we thought would potentially get us five more Republican seats. Mtg, of course, leaving that's one less potential seat in Georgia, even though, you know, maybe another Republican come. But it's got to be a real conversation, I would think. Oh, yeah, it is. It's here in Missouri as well. We're redistricting. The governor came up with a new map and we're going to gain one more Republican seat. I'm going to be involved in that, but there's already several lawsuits involved in that and that could be delayed as well. We've got. Look, we do not want to lose the majority in the U.S. house. I truly believe that if that happens, come January 3rd of 2027, Hakeem Jeffries would be speaker of the House and everything would be about the impeachment of Donald J. Trump. Everything would come to a halt. The Democrats would gain control of all the committees and just try to spend more money and get us deeper into the hole of $38 trillion in debt and climbing, and we would not be able to do anything. So it's important that we win the midterms. We've got to come up with some solutions, some real solutions to the affordability crisis, the housing crisis, which we're working on, and the health care crisis. A lot of these crises were, were perpetrated on the American people by the Democrats. But we can play the blame game all morning long. But I think it's up to us to find some rational, reasonable solutions, put them before the American people, and let's get this done.
Dr. Gina
I want to get in real quick asking you about the Comey case and Letitia James that were dismissed. As you know, it's an Associated Press headline, Judge Just Mrs. Comey James indictments after finding prosecutor was illegally appointed. Can you talk to us about this, what's happening there and what will happen there and how did this happen?
David Brody
Well, it all happened with the appointment of a prosecutor who they said was an activist judge, basically said was appointed illegally. Pam Bondi, I think has the information correct that she came out with yesterday. These charges are going to be refiled and they will also be appealed. This ruling by this activist judge appealed further up the court system. I think they have a good chance of these of either happening. It's very clear that James Comey lied to Congress. Okay. He outright lied to Congress. Letitia James outright committed mortgage fraud. And the Democrats can try to shield them all they want through activist judges, but the truth is going to come out and the prosecutions are going to happen. And these, this is not about retribution. This is about holding people accountable.
Dr. Gina
Congressman Alford, thank you so much for your time.
David Brody
Thank you. Thanks, Congressman.
Dr. Gina
Have a great Thanksgiving.
David Brody

That is Wrigley Field, Rainy Wiggly. Did I just call it Wiggly Field? All right, I'll just stop talking then. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. I believe I'm David Brody and yes, I pronounce my name correctly. Coming up. Well, we're gonna talk just about a whole bunch of stuff, but I Don't really even want to tease anything at this point. The only thing I care about right now is Brian Glenn at the White House with T. Bates. And that's sponsored by amec. 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 says he'll visit China next year after speaking with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The president also says that he's invited Xi to the United States next year. The two leaders, of course, met in South Korea last month to discuss trade, Russia, Ukraine and other issues. RAV chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn is at the White House this morning with the very latest on that trip and so much more. So, Brian, one of the things that's been talked about. Good morning. By the way, one of the things that President Trump said after that initial meeting with President Xi is that there likely would be status updates, if you will, that that wasn't the first and the last meeting between the two, that there was going to be this sort of continued, continued relationship to continue to build on some of the advances of that meeting. Yeah. Good morning. I think this is a positive move. We've seen those relations grow in the right direction, which is a good thing for everyone. And of course, those tariffs had been reduced from the original price, I think down just below 50% right now. So as far as trade relations is good. As far as diplomatic relations, it is good. Of course, China having its eye on Taiwan. That was one of the conversations that had come up as well in relation to Japan and also the cut down on fentanyl flowing into this country. Good conversation, good progress there. And of course, as you mentioned, President Trump agreeing to visit there as far as Xi Jinping coming here next year, which I think would be a great step in the right direction. So when you look at this phone call that went just about over an hour, I think everything coming out of it as far as economically is very secure. And it does once again shows that President Trump has his hand on the pulse as far as this global trade, especially when dealing with China. Yeah. And Brian, even with the holiday coming up on Thursday, it seems like work is still in high gear there at the White House both today and tomorrow. Yeah, we've got a turkey party happening here at noon. We'll be there. That's happening on the south side of the White House, will have their live coverage there. And of course, he is taking off, going to spend the holiday weekend down there at Mar a Lago down in West Palm beach and enjoy it with his family and friends there. And then back to work. He returns back here on Sunday here to Washington, D.C. and of course, it all begins then, Terrence. Absolutely. Brian Glenn reporting for us from the White House. Brian, we'll be checking in with you later on today as well, especially for that turkey pardoning. In the meantime, let's get a quick check of your forecast, but it's going to be a little bit different today. We're going to give you a forecast for the skies. Meteorologist Tracy Anthony joining us from the airport there in West Palm Beach. Good morning to you, Tracy. So I would imagine the crowds are kind of ebbing and flowing. You probably get a big crowd and then it thins out a little bit and another big crowd coming.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, you know, we've kind of started to see things, though, just really ramp up over the last couple of hours. And airports are expecting travel to be busiest from now through early Wednesday morning. So we're expecting to have, according to aaa, the second busiest Thanksgiving travel year on record. So we're talking 82, close to 82 million people will be traveling, 73 million on the road and about 6 million in the sky. So we are going to be talking to a few travelers, you know, kind of what they're dealing with. But what a lot of people don't know is now Tuesday has officially become the busiest travel day. So over time, everyone wanted to avoid traveling on Wednesday, another getting to the airport on Tuesday. And it's officially the busiest day of the Thanksgiving holiday. So gas prices over the last year were actually on the lower side. So I think that's also contributing to.
David Brody
People getting out on the road and.
Dr. Gina
Taking to the cars traveling over 50 miles for their Thanksgiving destination. So some of the biggest cities for travelers areas, there's four in Florida. We're talking Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Miami and Orlando. So a lot of people coming down to the warmth. And hey, I love it here, too. So it's going to be a good year down here. But the northern tier of the country, that's where we're going to have some issues after Thanksgiving. We're going to be talking about the potential for a polar vortex dropping those temperatures. So some major weather impacts will be impacting Thanksgiving. And I'll have more on that, Terrence, in the next hour. But I was shocked to find out Tuesday is actually the busiest travel day.
David Brody
Yeah, you and me both. That's not what I would have expected at all. And I'm definitely not looking forward to talking about a polar vortex, but we've got to do it. So we'll check in with you next hour and get more information on that. Tracy, appreciate you TT reporting from the airport. Dan West Palm, we appreciate you. All right, folks, up next, what do New Yorkers think about Zoran Mandami's election? We'll take you back there to New York, to Long island and this guy as well. First, though, a quick look at this day in history. It was on this date in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas in an open car motorcade within Texas Governor John Connally Kennedy was rushed to Dallas's Parkland Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Just 30 minutes later, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as president. Less than two hours later. We've got more American seminars coming your way after the break.

Macy's in New York. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade coming up on Thursday. I've been to many of them from New York. I know, right? The locals aren't supposed to attend the parade. No, I tend the parade. I like it. As a matter of fact, I like when it's windy. This is terrible. But I love when it's really windy and you never know where Snoopy and Charlie Brown and all those crazy floats are going to go. Those big balloons. I want it to be kind of crazy. That's just me. Is that bad? Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. All right, as Americans gear up for the Thanksgiving holiday, families from across the country are coming together this week. And with that in mind, let's head out to the Embassy Diner in Bethpage, New York, where Rav correspondent and the host of Breaking Point, David Zier standing by. David, you found Patriots and pancakes. Good morning. That's a great combination. Here we got Jay Weinstein from the Belmore Patriots. They've been so active over the last few years standing up for Long Island's rights here. And David, we want to ask these great people here what they're thankful for on the holidays and what are some of the issues affecting him. Can I bring on Jay with you? Please do it. Go. We love it. Hey, Jay. All right, Jay, you're very active. Happy Thanksgiving. What are you grateful for? Thankful for this Thanksgiving. I am very grateful that Donald Trump got in as our president of the United States States. A report card is good for the first year. So far, yes. All right, so listen, at least he's doing something not like the other one who's sleeping in his bunker all day. Yeah, for sure. For sure. We're in Nassau county here, hundreds of thousands of commuters to New York City. Cops, firefighters, financial services people, small business owners, workers, employees. What have you seen? Because you're really in touch because you're right over the border from Nassau county, from Queen New York City into Queens. What have you seen going on? What's going on with the cops? Well, I speak to a lot of cops. I'm very friendly with them for what I guess of what I do and so on. And a lot of them have been telling me come January 1st, they are putting in their resignations, maybe another 5,000. Could that be real? A little bit more than that. What I'm hearing is anywhere from 15 to 20% of the police force will be retired, early retirement. And a lot of them before their vest, right? That's correct. What are their, what are their fears? Why? And what about other people like financial services who are commuters that you might know? Well, the police are, like you said, not vested so on, but they're doing it because they're afraid what Mandani is going to do to New York City and how he's going to try to defund the police. And in regards to the financial, I'm hearing that Wall street is giving them six months to determine if they're going to move out of New York City or not, which if they do, will lose thousands and thousands of jobs and put a lot of mom and pop shops out of business. Yeah, absolutely. Local here because they come out to like Merrick and Belmore in these areas. They support their local businesses, the diners like the Bethpage Diner, and they're already into cost overruns and problems. But I wish you the happiest of all Thanksgivings here and with the family. I want to thank you so much for joining us today. And we have Matt and Margie Kochman Dave here and they're experts in real estate. They've been active with the America first warehouse for many years. But we were talking about the affordability crisis, how to keep Long island children to stay here. Everybody's kids leave Long Island. They never come back. Hi, Margie, how are you? I'm good, thank you. What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday? For my family and for Donald Trump, for him blowing up all these boats. And, you know, for our audience out there, Matt and Margie lost two children to Fence Sentinel, which is just extraordinary. But it's a real special time here. You Know, for the Kochman family here. And Matt, your guys are in real estate here. I'm in real estate. What are some of the solutions? Come on in for a second. You know, how do kids get into homes? You know, it's 485,000 for the average price for home. The average property taxes on Long island, about $7,500 as a median. How does someone get into a home? Today Donald Trump is Talking about a 50 year mortgage and people say, well, maybe you're going to pay a lot of interest. I say, well, if it gets you in the door, it's better than renting. You can always change your mortgage down the road. The average person stays at home about 15 years. So you have time, right? You have time. And you have to base your fact, base your understanding that houses appreciate in value. So you may not pay down your mortgage a lot, but your house will appreciate a certain amount, a certain percentage every year. And inflation also comes into play. But you brought up a good point too. What about going back to adjustable rate mortgages if interest rates are going to come down? Well, we don't know, but they get you in the door. You can always refinance. And if you can get in at a 3 or 4% rate with a 5 year or 3 year adjustable or a wraparound mortgage. There's so many creative things you can do to help homeowners get a house, but they have to be credit worthy or you get into trouble. Yeah, we're going to bring in more people here. Matt, I appreciate your insight on this and we're going to get back to everybody on their insights. Christian Reimer, why don't you come over here, Christian? We know for many years he's a big supporter at the America First Warehouse as well. Very active on Long Island. What about prices at the supermarket this year? You know, they're still going up. I saw lettuce for $4 ahead yesterday. It was a dollar 52 years ago. Yeah, notice that too, that they're still up there. Slowly, eventually the fuel prices will start coming down. Are you confident that next year will be better? Yes, definitely. This time next year, I think everybody's gonna be singing in different. How has everything impacted your family? You see people trying to make ends meet, trying to keep up high cost of living here on Long Island. Yeah. Food prices, you know, gases, you know anyone who commutes to New York City? No. Okay. All right, well, you know, listen, David, we got more great people here at the Embassy Diner and we're going to be talking to real American voices all day here. And their stories are incredible. They're the salt of the earth. The people never ask for anything from anybody. They're the good people tired of being told they're the bad people. Very nice. David Zier. And Gina, I don't know if you had anything to add to David Zier, but, you know, anytime he's at a diner, David's in his. David's in his sweet spot right there with patriots and a diner.
Dr. Gina
Well, I'm loving the Christmas decorations, David, but I'm thinking that the 80s music place is amazing, needs to go and they need to put the Christmas music on to match the amazing decorations. It has nothing to do with the fact that I hate 80s music to begin with, but David Zier, I wanted to ask how people are thinking about the interview the other day with President Trump and mom Dhavi. What do they think about that?
David Brody
Well, people are, you know, they're concerned about being able to stay in New York. If you have a civil service job and you commute to New York City, if you're in the financial services sector here, you know, that was a boon for local communities here on the island. So any time there will be less commuters or people have to leave, it's going to impact them locally here, I think they realized that Trump was being gracious and, you know, Mamdani's got to be the first one to slip up. Would you agree? You know, what do you think about that? You know, you know, Trump's giving him the rope. Yeah. Basically. Get out there and see what he can do. Trump's got the cards, though. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And you know, there's other controversies here on Long island that are nationwide. Transgender issues in the high school, Indian mascots being eliminated from our schools. Problems that many Americans are facing across the country. Well, David Zier, thanks for being there. We appreciate it. We'll check back with you.
Dr. Gina
Beautiful diner.
David Brody
Yes, it's great. We'll check back with you through the place here. Thank you so much. Yeah. By the way, when we come back to you in the next hour, I'm curious what they think of the MTG President Trump spat. So we'll talk about that next hour if we could. All right. Thanks, David. Absolutely. You bet. Oh, there he goes. All right, coming up, guys, new CDC guidance on vaccines and autism that has many in MAGA jumping for joy. Right, Gina? Those details next on American Sunrise.

Dr. Gina
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Definitely worthy of some country music instead of that Godfrey whatever that is. Anyway, welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thank you for joining us. It is time now for our health news and it is sponsored by the wellness company under the Microscope. Today, new developments on the potential link between autism and vaccines. In a seismic reversal, decades old public health messaging, Secretary Kennedy ordered the center for Disease Control and Prevention to rewrite its official webpage on vaccines and autism that has dismissed millions of parents concerns for decades. The new text finally acknowledges the claim that vaccines do not cause autism is not in fact evidence based because the truth is that studies have never ruled out a link. It accuses health authorities of ignoring research that does point toward a connection. For countless parents who spent years begging feds to listen and were mocked, ignored or silenced. This is a Pyrrhic figure victory, but one they have no doubt prayed for and waited for for a very long time. For more on this, let's bring in the CEO of the wellness company, Peter Gillooly. Peter it appears the CDC is quietly changing information on its website with regard to autism and vaccines. Is this in response, do you think, to the McCullough Foundation's groundbreaking work on this issue that I've seen personally all over the Internet?
David Brody
I think so, Gina. Dr. McCullough worked tirelessly for the past year to put together a full report over all the possible causes of autism and trying to weight the probability that say something like environmental causes was higher than vaccines, but no vaccines, in particularly the 32 vaccines that our children received before the age of two is the most probable and likely cause for the autism epidemic which has just exploded in the last 20 years. And I think the CDC finally is acknowledging the fact that we're not actually testing vaccines for safety. We're testing vaccines against older versions of the same vaccine. And we're never testing the fact that people get 32 vaccines before the age of 2. We're only testing single vaccines at a time.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, it's fascinating when you look at the ingredients, the toxins, the things that you would never ingest, even some of the things that are derived from meat products and other things that are, you know, all the vegans out there are going and getting their vaccines, and I'm just like, you know, that that was derived from and in some cases even fetal tissue, which is utterly disgusting. But this change in guidance, does it reflect the growing power and influence of the medical freedom movement that so many of us have fought for for so long. And real science finally, you know, not just lies that are paid for by big Pharma to cultivate profits for Big Pharma and for the ama, The American Medical Association.
David Brody
It absolutely does, Gina. This is a win, and there's no doubt about it. And it's a long overdue win. Now, I know we've been talking about a lot of these things around vaccines for years now, and I know people were a little frustrated at the pace that the CDC under Secretary Kennedy was rolling out some of these changes. But we've seen a lot of positive movement this year around things like vaccine when it comes to both childhood vaccination schedule, when it comes to lessening the recommendations for the COVID vaccine, as well as now acknowledgement that childhood autism may be a state that's caused by our obnoxious and overkill childhood vaccine schedule.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. You know, I'm so thankful, honestly, for you guys, for the McCullough foundation, for the Wellness Company. I was. I was watching this whole case in Canada where they were culling these ostriches for bird flu. And it turns out, as you might guess, as many of our viewers know, an interview surfaced where the owners of this farm of ostriches, which were pets, they loved these pets, more than 300 of them killed for absolutely no reason because they had survived the outbreak of the bird flu. So they were wanting to study them to see what were the antibodies that ostriches developed when other birds, in fact, didn't develop. And then could we emulate that right for the human population or for other bird populations, et cetera. And I thought to myself, you know what? If that ostrich situation had happened in the United States, it would not have gone as far as it did here. I feel like the Wellness Company, Peter McCullough, all of you there, our Secretary of. Secretary Kennedy would have been all over this. In fact, Secretary Kennedy and I believe Peter McCullough did even write something asking for Canadian officials to step out, which the gutless wonders never did. I just wanted to give you a chance to comment on that, because I can't believe that in just the short time since COVID we have a company out there, we have fighters out there alongside of all of us who've been fighting for this for so long that assure us that something like this probably couldn't happen in the United States today.
David Brody
Yeah. Talk about a lack of science, Gina. And as you said, right, when you have a disease outbreak like this, you specifically want to know the types of animals that survive that outbreak, because those animals are likely to carry the antibodies and be stronger, and their offspring are less likely to fall victim to the disease, but can decide to throw science out the window and gun These animals down with high power rifles after they already had survived the outbreak. Now, I think it's a couple things. One, I think it's an attack on farmers. And we've seen this not only in the US but across the world. Industrialized farming is coming to take over and the little guy keeps getting pushed out. And I think this is just another example of it. This family is not being remunerated for their loss. I mean, they run a small farm. I'm sure they're devastated, but I think it's a very positive sign in the US that but we're actually standing up for people like this and standing up for our farmers and our patriots because they're really the backbone of our country and we're going to get through whatever disease comes through next and be stronger for it.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. And prepped for it because there are so many ways through the Wellness Company to prepare your immune system so that you wouldn't even experience anything like this word to come our way. We've talked about this many times on this show. You know, they killed those more than 300. I believe it was 314ostriches. They didn't all die right away. Many of them were crying through the night. These were pets, they were beloved. And as you said, it took their entire livelihood. There's no renumeration for the family. Thank God for companies like the Wellness Company out there to prevent things like this happening again in the United States. I only wish we had been on the ground and actually functioning before COVID But what do you recommend, Peter Gillooly? Quickly if you can, about 20 seconds. For those who want to prepare as they're going into closed environments, into airplanes, traveling, being exposed to things. What do you recommend real quick? Which kit?
David Brody
Super easy. Get your blue medical emergency kit. It's the staple that should be in your medicine cabinet.

Your wallet will be as happy as your waistline. This medication is not FDA approved. Welcome back. Now that we are caffeinated, it is time to stay awake, not woke. And today we are discussing the Democrats who are calling on troops to not follow unlawful orders from President Trump. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar then weighed in and said Trump's remarks about sedition and it being punishable by death were dangerous. Take a look at what she had to say.
David Brody
Well, what is dangerous is not restating what is in the Uniform Code of.
Dr. Gina
Military justice, which says that our troops.
David Brody
Cannot follow unlawful orders. Very clearly, what is dangerous is the President of the United States threatening these members of Congress with death, literally saying that they should be executed.
Dr. Gina
Let's bring in Dr. Gina David and Terrence David first to you there in the D.C. swamp. This is certainly getting a lot of traction.
David Brody
Yes, for sure. Look, a couple things. You can make the argument for sedition, but as we said earlier in the week, it's not punishable by death for civilians. So that was just factually incorrect what he said, what the president said. So. But of course Democrats are harping on it. But you know, this is a president that, you know, says what he's going to say and you know he wouldn't be President of the United States if he had just kind of been a typical politician. So, you know, look, you get it all with him and, you know, on balance, I'm for him speaking his mind for sure. Gina.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, I just wanna know where all these fruitcakes were in screaming about the military overreach during COVID I mean, that's the thing. I wanna know the Democrats. No one is out there saying that they shouldn't have said what they said from the Democrats. Democrats, anyway. I've not heard one single Democrat. Maybe Fetterman has said something. I don't know how is Fetterman, by the way, but I would like to hear some Democrats not doing group think and group speak all the time, like a bunch of robots that they are.
David Brody
Terrence, you know, in the here and now. It's just a shame that Democrats have tried to politicize this. And, you know, they really tried to pull the wool over the American people's eyes, thinking that people couldn't think for themselves and realize that, you know, calling on these soldiers to resist any directive from the president was, first of all, a good idea. Second of all, there's nothing illegal about anything the President has done. And we've seen in the past week that no one can name anything illegal. They tried to politicize something just to get attention, to try to again hamstring President Trump, and it backfired. And so now they're trying to politicize his response as well. And it's all a shame. We've got bigger fish to fry. There's so much more that these politicians need to be doing and need to be addressing for the American people other than this issue.
Dr. Gina
And not only is it not illegal, Terrence, it's radically legal. It's Go Max. Legal. It says legal is legal. This is the law. This is the law, David. That's the part that is so traumatizing to me, is that there is zero respect for our actual law.
David Brody
And you can actually make the argument that what the Democrats are saying is far more dangerous than a post on Truth Social from President Trump. I mean, what they're doing, far more dangerous. Which, of course, is what the White House is saying, but it's how many.
Dr. Gina
Assassination attempts on Democrat presidents, How many of their cultural icons, heroes like Charlie Kirk, have been murdered on the Democrat side? All right, zero. How many of them are under threat? I don't even hear about them being under threat. There is no moral equivalence here. There's none. And it's time for them to stop acting like it.
David Brody
David, I get a sense you were gonna make another point though about me saying that this isn't that they need to be addressing other things. Were you gonna make a different point? Cuz I am curious in what it is. Who, me? You? I thought you were gonna make a point I made. Oh no, no. I'm out of material for this segment. I am done. Okay.
Dr. Gina
The only point I was gon. I just want to double down on what Gina was saying earlier about how this is group think. I mean this was a script that these Democrats were all following. This is a play straight out of their playbook. They do this so often and I would appreciate it a whole lot more if they weren't following a script and they were actually speaking from the heart. But it's lies. It's all incorrect. Yeah. All right, great discussion as always you guys. Coming up, President Trump's new effort to give foster kids a real chance. Stay with us.

Dr. Gina
You know, you can absolutely tell when the control room is about ready to have a day off or something because they get a little wild back there. Welcome back to American Sunrise. It is time for our moment of faith brought to you by Lee Greenwood. The great people at God Bless the USA Bible. I love that book by the way. Makes a great Christmas gift. In FOCUS today, Faith in action for foster kids. You guys, it's National Adoption Month and President Trump First Lady Melania signed the new Fostering the Future executive order right there in the room. Charles Bender, Big moment for the work he's been doing for years. Place of Hope, his faith based foster care ministry in South Florida, one of the best in America. I've participated in their events and enjoyed doing it and been honored to do so. Expanding again. They are with the order fueling their mission. A clear reminder when faith leads, lives change. Joining us now, Charles Bender, founding CEO of Place of Hope. Charles, it's great to have you as an adoptive mother. By the way, you know how much all of your work means to me. What did it mean to you to see this order coming out of our White House?
David Brody
Well, thank you for having me. I knew this was going to happen. She has just got this on her heart and as you know, Mrs. Trump, you know she pushes hard for what she wants to see happen. And these are the neediest young people in our entire community. National, every community and they need our help. And so she was talking about this with us and others a couple years back, many years back now, and here it is. And so I wasn't surprised, but very blessed to be a part of it. And we're excited about the future.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. I have to say my good friend Meg Weinberger introduced me to Ewer. She's of course a foster mother. She and her husband Eric introduced me to your organization. It's a fine, fine organization, doing literally God's work every single day. And as an adoptive mother, it's easy for me to say. I think adoption is the best gift God ever gave me. But fostering is always something that has intimidated me, talk me off of that cliff.
David Brody
Well, you know what, there are a lot of similarities. You know, this is National Adoption Month.
Dr. Gina
I'm sure you know I do know that. Yes, I do.
David Brody
So we're, we're celebrating that as well. We have seen where many of our young people were adopted or have been adopted and get adopted by those who are fostering them, others as well. So sometimes it's relative care, which we do a lot of help and support for those great folks. But, but a lot of people in the foster care system with all the experience and the time spent with these young people, they desire to adopt and they end up adopting. And so what I would say is a lot of similarities. It's an issue for prayer for your family. It has to be right, of course, for your family, each person's family individually. But it is something that everyone should pray about considering because the need is great. And these young people need consistency in their lives. They need love, they need structure, they need family. And that's what fostering the future is all about as well. And so it all lines up great. And I would challenge people to really give it a consideration. Maybe even start with mentoring or tutoring.
Dr. Gina
Great idea. Makes it a lot less intimidating. Talk to us too about rules, briefly. Are there age limits? What are the. Can anyone foster? Just give us a little brief, like, how do we fit into it? Because I think it's a little bit confusing between adoption law, fostering law, special needs adoption, which I'm very involved in with my charity, as you know. And so just talk to us a little bit about fostering because it is a little different, It's a little less regimented. Right?
David Brody
Well, I mean, it is a function of the state and you know, the great state of Florida, it was privatized many years ago. And so you have agencies like us, other faith based organizations and other great organizations. That aren't faith based, that are out there trying to drum up support for the need in our community. No, it is not. The barriers are not set super high where it's difficult. I mean, obviously you are, you are putting out there, you know, your family dynamics and you have to have a home study done and they've got to know exactly and screen who you are and, and if you're, you know, prepared for this kind of additional, I call it, you know, high level volunteerism because it's not like the money's there to, to, you know, increase any desire to get involved. Like, you know, people think that's out there. It's not the case. And you really have to want to do this. But if you end up, especially in Florida where it's privatized with a great support agency doing it, is it, you can do this and you will change young lives. And as you know, if it lends, if it leads to adoption later. Now you're talking about forever family.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. And that's the best thing in the world. When that judge looked at me and looked at my Sam and said, samuel, welcome to your forever home, I still can't say the words without crying. It's the most magical feeling in the whole entire world. Charles, thank you so much.
David Brody
Changed both of your lives forever, forever.
Dr. Gina
And for the better every single day. Charles Bender, thank you so much for everything that you all do. And I just want to invite our audience. I will handhold you if you want to walk through any of these steps to become a foster parent or an adoption parent. And what better time than the holidays and what better month than national adoption month? Thank you so much, Charles, for everything you guys do.
David Brody
Thank you so much.
Dr. Gina
All right. Back with the second hour of American Sunrise in two. Stick around. Coming up on the second hour of American Sunrise, a major breakthrough for ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky has agreed to a deal, but says more work needs to be done. We're going to have the latest details as they come out. Plus, a political earthquake on Capitol Hill. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant calling for the end of the Senate filibuster, pointing straight at the recent dim led shutdown as proof that the system is broken. What would blowing up the filibuster mean for our country? Will analyze. Also, a federal judge has dismissed the administration's cases against former FBI Director James Comey and Letitia James. We'll cover the fallout and the Justice Department's next move. Those stories, so much more. Second hour of American Sunrise starts right now.
David Brody
Good morning, America.
Dr. Gina
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
David Brody
Politics, President Trump. 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.
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 in West Palm and T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, everybody. Good morning to both of you. It's Thanksgiving week, and can I just say, on Thanksgiving week, I know Thursday is the big eat day, if you will. I say starting Monday. I say screw it. I'm done for the week. I'm just like, you know what? That's it. All sort of eating, like etiquette and making sure I'm taking care of myself. I don't care. I'm throwing it all away.
Dr. Gina
This week I was getting all whacked because I thought he was gonna say, can I just say this Thanksgiving week how thankful I am to get to host this show with you guys and for Rav, the amazing company we work for and our amazing control. That's what I thought he was gonna say. No, he was talking about food. But here's my question. Teammates. David Brody, right now.
David Brody
Yes.
Dr. Gina
Give it to me straight. Oh, no. Real or fake?
David Brody
Yes. It was me. I did it. Dr. GM said, Real or fake tree?
Dr. Gina
Real or fake tree? Wait, wait. Can I guess? Can I guess?
David Brody
Ooh, yes. You already know where I'm going. Come on. You already know.
Dr. Gina
I know you're doing that. Dude, I know you're doing a fake tree. Brody, I think your wife makes you do a real tree.
David Brody
So here's the thing, and I'll be brief in like 15 seconds. For 25 years in our family, we did the real tree thing and then the kids left. Not left. They're around, but, you know, they're out of the house. And I went for the fake. We went for the fake tree. You know why? Because I want low maintenance. I'm 60 years old. Give me a little low maintenance. I don't. That's it. That's where I'm at.
Dr. Gina
We do multiple.
David Brody
Yeah, I do my trees like I do my wine in a box. Guys, let's check in with Rav's David Zier. He's celebrating this Thanksgiving holiday week with some hard working folks over in New York. He is at the Embassy Diner in Bethpage, New York. David, good morning. Good morning. Morning to each and every one of you guys. Thanks for being here. Applause to you guys. What's everyone talking about there, David? Oh, yeah. Hi, Terence again. You know, Thanksgiving's coming up and we want to ask these people what they're thankful for, but we want to talk about some of the issues that are affecting Long Islanders, you know, small business owners and other. But we have Adele here. You have two children. They left Long island, right? Yes, yes, they did. Why did they leave? Well, my daughter and son in law and my grandkids moved to Florida a while ago. Yeah. For a better cost of living and a better quality of life. Absolutely. They had a brand new house built that was about the size of my house, but on a much bigger piece of property. And they paid less than a different world outside of New York. We want to bring in Emily and Olivia here. Hi. We've got great young people on the ground here. How are you girls?
Dr. Gina
I'm doing good.
David Brody
How are you? Good. What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Come on in the shot. What are you thankful for? My family friends. How about you?
Dr. Gina
Well, I just graduated in May and.
David Brody
Started a new job, so I'm very grateful for college. Yes. I graduated from Malloy. Oh, wow. Nice local college. Yeah. What are you taking?
Dr. Gina
I'm a nurse.
David Brody
Oh, wow. How about you? What are you doing?
Dr. Gina
I'm a teacher down in Florida.
David Brody
So really quick, what are the issues? So you're down in Florida. You moved to Florida, right?
Dr. Gina
Yes.
David Brody
Why did you do that?
Dr. Gina
Cost of living. I knew that post grad, I was probably gonna have to live with my parents if I stayed up here. And getting a scholarship money from college.
David Brody
Was also really well.
Dr. Gina
And I do like the palm trees.
David Brody
So that was a plus. Well, it's definitely a different vodka, a different quality of life here. And you know, you're a nursing. A lot of jobs in healthcare, right. On Long Island?
Dr. Gina
Not recently.
David Brody
Oh, okay, okay. They started opening them up again.
Dr. Gina
They had. They actually went on a hiring freeze for a little while.
David Brody
All right, well, we're going to get into cost of living issues here on Long Island. We're going to sit down with the owner of the diner here, how to stay in business as a small business and survive in a blue state. All right, David, looking forward to that conversation. We'll be checking back with you throughout the show. Order me the sausage links, though. I'm not a patty guy. Give me the links and I'll be there as soon as I can get there. David's here reporting for us on Long Island. All right, now that we've got you hooked up there, let's get you over to Palm Beach International Airport. That's where meteorologist Tracy Anthony is standing by right now, not only with your forecast, but also for those of you getting ready to head out and travel. She can give you an idea of what things are looking like. Tracy, first question. First of all, good morning. But I'm curious if there are any parts of the country where weather is really going to make it maybe prohibitive to get in and out of as we get closer to Thanksgiving.
Dr. Gina
Yeah. You know, throughout the day today, Atlanta could be dealing with some strong to severe thunderstorms. So that's definitely one of the cities that we're going to kind of watch leading into Thanksgiving. And Atlanta is a major hub.
David Brody
So.
Dr. Gina
So if we start seeing delays out.
David Brody
Of Atlanta, that definitely could bring a domino effect to the 6 million people.
Dr. Gina
That are expected to travel by air this Thanksgiving. Now, Terence, we're expecting the busiest Thanksgiving.
David Brody
Travel in decades, so the second on.
Dr. Gina
Record, actually, according to aaa.
David Brody
So a lot of people getting out there.
Dr. Gina
Airfare has been pretty, pretty comparable to.
David Brody
Where it was last year.
Dr. Gina
Gas prices are slightly less. So we're also seeing a lot of people that are traveling by Road. So 73 million people expected to go over 50 miles for their Thanksgiving Day destination.
David Brody
Now, on the back end of the.
Dr. Gina
Holiday, when we get into Saturday and Sunday, there are a few big spots that we're going to watch. Houston, you're one of them for some rain showers and storms. But areas up to Chicago, Chicago, Bismarck, that's where we're going to have some snow and potentially that polar vortex. So there's a lot of weather on the other end of this holiday weekend.
David Brody
All right, meteorologist Tracy Anthony reporting from the airport. We still want you later on today, so don't board any planes. We're going to need to get you back to work. Thanks so much, Tracy. All right, folks, in there at the bottom of your screen, you see that QR code? Go ahead and scan it and join our friends at Weather Nation. In the meantime, let's get you over to David Bur Brody. David, good morning. Good morning. We've got some breaking news. Tbates Ukraine has agreed to a deal. This just in. They've agreed to a peace deal this morning to end the war with Russia with only minor details outstanding at this point. This follows negotiations involving U.S. officials in the UAE. And by the way, we should make clear that what they agreed to was something that the United States proposed. So it's in other words, it's an agreement between Ukraine and the United States about a potential peace deal. Now we wait for Russia. Join us now with analysis on the breaking news is editor in chief for just the news.com, john Solomon. John, wow, this is big. And I'm curious to get your reaction. Yeah, well, as you pointed out, it's a deal between Ukraine and the United States, not against the other warring party. And if you look at the two agreements that the United States structured, one with Russia with 28 points, one with Ukraine with 18 points, there are some major sticking points. For instance, since which land will be given up and which land will not be given up, what is the status of Ukraine's ability to seek NATO membership? Those are two big points for Putin that are right now not in the Ukraine deal. So why is that important? It means that there's another negotiation to go. It's great that the US And Ukraine have one idea. It's great that the US And Russia have another idea. Now Russia and Ukraine have to take those two ideas, which have some pretty significant spread between them, them, and mesh them together in a peace process, by the way. That's how peace deals are put together. You get one side to get the other side. Then you get the two sides together to explore where they're apart and where they're willing to give and make concessions to get to a final deal. It's a good sign. It means that the president's strategy, his deadline is working, but it does not mean that Russia and Ukraine yet have a deal for peace. More work ahead, but very positive progress by Marco Rubio, President Trump, Steve Witcoff, and some of our allies who've been extremely helpful in the last few days. John, there's obviously reason for optimism as it relates to this particular deal, but please correct me if I'm wrong, it feels like we've been in a similar place in the past. Russia and Ukraine have said, okay, we'll sit down. And then once they've kind of gotten on their own, things have fallen apart. Do you see that being a possibility here? Is that a real consideration at this stage? It's Russia and Ukraine. They've been at a war for 11 years. Anything could fall apart at any minute. But I think what's different now here is for the first time, each side's wants and wishes are memorialized in side agreements. And I think that's the key to getting a deal where what are Ukraine's Red lines. What are Russia's red lines? Where are the compromise areas? It allows now for a meaningful discussion. Any discussion before this point where each side put on the table what they want out of a deal would almost naturally fall apart. Knowing what each side wants and then getting through the thorny issues is a major step forward. It gets you to the 10 yard line. You're not in the end zone, but you've done something that the two sides in 11 years of war have not been able to do, which is define what a peace deal they think looks like to them. And that gives you the give and take that you need to get to a final deal. It is a very important moment, but it's not the final moment.
Dr. Gina
So how will we know, John, when it's really the final moment, if we get to that point? And do you really think we'll get to that point? Because I know there's a lot of cynicism out there because it's these two characters.
David Brody
Yeah, you're exactly right. You do have two really volatile characters in Zelenskyy and Putin. We won't know until, like the armistice, there's ink on paper. And until that happens, when ink is on paper, we have to take everything with a trust but verify approach. But that's Donald Trump's approach here. Getting him this far is farther than any other American president has been able to do since the Obama era. It's a great step forward and it allows now for the hard work to begin, which is on the contentious issues. Who's going to give what, where and how do you get to a final deal? But listen, Russia's economy is doing poorly and President Trump put a little crimp in it by pushing away some of the oil sales in recent weeks. Ukraine is losing ground on the war. Zelenskyy won't allow it to be reported to his own people. But Ukraine is losing ground. Their military is losing bodies and ground. And despite their good PR campaign, a long war of attrition is not in Ukraine's interest. That brings both parties to a hard realization that a peace deal is better than the current trek. Now, the question is, can they work out those differences between these two plans? But. But it's more than any president has done to this point. President Trump, relentless. A lot of other presidents would have given up. Joe Biden would never even talk to Russia during his presidency. Donald Trump took a very different tact. And that's why we're maybe at the 10 yard, 10 yard line, looking at the end zone, and we have A chance here to get something done, no doubt. I mean, Trump is in his sweet spot here. I mean, you know, he knows about leverage and Zelensky is in trouble on that corruption scandal inside his government. And he's about to lose that transportation city in eastern Donetsk. And so Trump knows that it's time to make the deal. Thank you, John, for being here. Great analysis. Appreciate you. Great to be with you guys. Bye. Bye. All right, coming up, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly finds himself in the Pentagon's crosshairs. Not a good place to be. We're going to show you why and talk about those consequences after the break.
Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm American Sunrise contributor Emily Finn. It's great to have you with us this morning. Time now to drain the swamp. And this morning we are flushing out Senator Mark Kelly. The Pentagon has opened a thorough review into the Arizona Democrat, saying it has received serious allegations of misconduct. The announcement follows a week of escalating tensions after a video in which Kelly and other Democrats told service members they could refuse illegal orders, a message that prompted President Trump to label them traitors and the quote, sedition. The White House now says it supports the investigation while Secretary of War Pete Hegseth argues Kelly is the only one in the group who still falls under military jurisdiction, meaning he could be recalled to active duty and even face court martial proceedings. We do want to know what you, our viewers, think about all of this. Let us know on Rumble or Getter. Hop on and let your voice be heard. Still ahead on American Sunrise, we're headed down to Wall street for the opening bell and a new reason why you should keep a close eye on the price of oil right now. We'll be back with more American Sunrise in just two minutes. Stick around.

Welcome back, everyone. We're getting ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It's set to ring here in just a few minutes. I can tell you that so far in pre market training, it's kind of been a mixed bag. The Dow is up, but the S P500 as well as the NASDAQ are both down right now, as you can see. And the rest of our board also mixed bag, a couple of green spots and a little bit of red. That red would have to do with crude oil, which we'll get some more perspective on momentarily. Again, we'll take you to New York for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange here in about eight minutes. In the meantime, let's get you over to David Brody. Okay. T. Bates. Appreciate it. Now time for our daily dose of dollars and common sense. We've got American Sunrise Early Edition host and the guy behind Jake's takes substack, that would be Jake Novak. Jake, let's start with the breaking news. Ukraine agreeing to this potential peace deal. Of course it's not with Russia, it's with the United States. So we'll have to see about Russia. But give us the business aspect of this because I know you track oil for a living. Just kidding. Tell us a little bit about what the correlation obviously between oil and Ukraine is. Yeah, you know, I'm watching oil prices very closely right now and based on what the oil traders are saying, the people who have skin in the game here, and I'll explain why in a second, they think that this is probably a very good move towards peace. They're not pouring cold water on it or cold petroleum on it, whatever you want to call it. Oil prices now, US light sweet crude is down more than 2%. Now, before that news broke about the Ukraine accepting these parameters, oil was only down 1%. And that was mostly on concerns about too much supply in the system. So these oil traders who have skin in the game, here's why they have skin in the game game. If there's peace between Russia and Ukraine, a huge amount of Russian oil, which is a little bit harder to buy. Now you got to get around sanctions, which means you pay a lot of premiums, will now no longer be sanctioned, which means there'll be added supply into the market. So oil traders don't want to be caught with their pants down going Long oil, when more supply comes onto the market. So they're selling it now, it means they think that that is going to happen again. It's a 2% drop. It's not a massive drop lower, but, but we're pretty low. We're at 57 bucks a barrel right now. David. We were at over 90 bucks a barrel the day before the October 7th attacks in 2023. So oil is on sale and it's on sale even more because the traders think, yeah, this seems like a good chance we could get that Russian oil on the market because of peace. It wouldn't surprise me. I'm assuming it wouldn't surprise you if that actually decreases as the day goes on in terms of when we get more details and see exactly how serious this is. Yeah. Now that's where I want to let everyone know. Watch your oil prices first. Keep watching Rav all day, but get something on your phone or on another screen, your oil prices, because if you see them shoot up suddenly, that means somebody's gonna come out and say, real soon. No, we're not accepting it. If you see them continuing to go down below this current 2% down level, that means there's more optimism about it. And probably as the day goes on, if no one stands up from Ukraine and says, oh no, no, we didn't accept anything, we could see a bigger sell off right before now. Oil trading actively ends at 2:30 Eastern Time. There's, it's always trading, it never stops. But at 2:30 Eastern Time, most of the traders go home. So 2:30 Eastern Time. Check around there and see where we are then, and then you'll get the real story about this deal. All right, Come on, Russians make a statement about this before 2:30 Eastern so we can have a sense. All right. All right, Jake. So Tim Cook could, I repeat, could be stepping down as Apple CEO next year. Whoa, why is that? Who might be running to succeed him? Well, you know, it's because he's hitting the age of 65 and, you know, he hasn't really pushed back too hard on people saying, well, are you going to maybe step down as CEO and then maybe just become the Chairman of the board? Is it sort of a way to start your departure? He's certainly not slowing down in his daily activities. He's famous, David, for waking up at the crack of dawn before the sun up. He starts working out and answering emails, I guess while he's on some machine or something like that. You know, you gotta give kudos. You gotta give kudos to this Guy, I can't think of someone who, as a new CEO who replaced someone who was more doubted in many ways than Tim Cook was, not because he had done anything wrong, but just because Steve Jobs was the iconic CEO of the 21st century, of the early 21st century, they made him into a God. Let's be honest, don't I think he deserves some of it, but not all. That's true of all humans. We're not gods. But boy, did he have big shoes to fill. And you gotta say he really filled them. Right? Apple hasn't crashed. They don't dominate the market like they used to. But that's because there's other players in the game, not because Apple has really fallen off a cliff. And again, I'm not making him a saint either. But the, the answer to your question about who's going to replace him, it's absolutely going to be an internal person. There are four different divisions, Apple, and the guy who runs the hardware division is most likely to be the guy. He's only 50 years old and that's probably what they'd like, someone to be there 10 years or longer. So that's the guy in the running right now. They absolutely won't bring in an outsider though. That's not what's going to happen. That will not happen at Apple. So if you're looking for the job, you and I, we're not getting it. Okay, well, that's good. Well, I'll take my name out of the running, so. All right, Jake, we're in the midst of the busiest driving week in America. You have a potentially car and money saving warning that this would be the best time to deliver. So please go ahead, save us all money and stress, make us less stressful. Jake. I know, Listen, I've got to deliver because every day when Emily, before we go to the commercial promises that I'm going to help you keep your hands on your hard earned cash. So here I want to do one thing. This is the week to do it. Because this is the busiest driving week in America. So a lot of you I know are heading out on the road. You're going to go to the gas station. I've spoken to a number of mechanics who confirmed the following report that I saw. Do not, do not top off your tank when you're filling up at the gas station. It could really damage your car. For years I thought it was because they didn't want people slowing everyone down and it maybe did something to the pumps. No, it could really damage your fuel pump and your and your. And, you know, basically your tank and caught. And really even total your car or at least make it very, very expensive to fix it. It. Don't do it. It's not worth it. You're only getting a couple more cents anyway. Do not do it. If I can tell you one thing this week, please remember that when you go fill up for your Thanksgiving trip. Do not top off. Please. Please don't want your. Okay, that's good. And this is a public service announcement by Jake Novak. Please do not top off. Yeah. Okay, good. Good to know. By the way, quick little just personal note on your. From your standpoint, what are you doing this Thanksgiving? What's. What's some of the plans other than obviously overeating? Yeah. Well, you know, I have my. My daughters coming. We're gonna have to do a Wednesday night Thanksgiving because my younger daughter's getting all of her wisdom teeth out right after. Thanks. So she's got to eat while she still can. So we're gonna do that. But, you know, I was just saying, Thanksgiving is the best holiday in the world. It's got football, it's got food. If you go to a special church service or something like that for it, that's great. But remember, you don't have to. I'm just kidding. I mean, it's nice if you do that, but you don't. There's no other, like, obligations other than family, food and football. There's no country that has anything like this. It comes even close, we win. It's beautiful. And you get Thanksgiving, and then you get friendsgiving. That's if you have friends. I have none. So I just celebrate Thanksgiving. But thank you, Jake. Appreciate you. My pleasure. All right, the wisdom teeth out after Thanksgiving. I believe that's the Oyga Volt level. Time for T. Bates in Denver. He's got the opening bell. Let's check oil. Sponsored by amac, the association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative board voice for Americans 50 and older. AMAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today. Together, we can write the course of America. Well, the applause is set to get underway here momentarily at the New York Stock Exchange. There you see it, and now you're starting to hear it, which means that the bell is going to ring here in short order. And then we'll get an idea of exactly where the market stand. Arrow makes Mexico. The airline is there at the podium, so it might be a good time to invest in Aero Mexico or maybe even get yourself a plane ticket over to Mexico. All right, ladies, and gentlemen, well, the markets are now officially open. You hear the opening bell. And I can tell you much like all day, the Dow is up right now. The S P 500 is down. And it looks like at the moment the NASDAQ is back up. It was down a little bit earlier today, but again, all of that very well may change. And then crude oil, you just heard Jake talk about it. Crude oil is down right now. And he believes that that may be a sign that a peace deal is being worked out or actually is moving forward because the deal itself has been signed between the United States and between Ukraine. But there may be some optimism that's bringing those oil prices down today. We, of course, will continue to cover all of this for you. And look, look at that. The NASDAQ is now back down. It's right, right on cue. It's back down in the red as well. So we'll monitor all of this for you throughout the day. In the meantime, it is the one time of year that the Birch Gold Group gives away free gold with every qualifying purchase. For Black Friday. When you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in gold, the Birch Gold Group will send you free gold to your home for every $20,000 you purchase. You may remember that gold started this year off around $2,600 an ounce and by October it was over $4,000 an ounce. That gives you an idea of how quickly it appreciated. Global uncertainty is blamed for that. 2025 has been defined by trade wars and central banks are pulling away from the US Dollar as the global reserve currency. Plus there's military tension that continues to build. Gold tends to thrive in times of uncertainty like what we're dealing with now. So if you're looking to diversify your savings, the Birch Gold Group can help you out. Plus now through November 30th, get free gold with the qualifying purchase. Simply text the word America to the number 989-898 and claim your eligibility as well as a free information kit on gold. However, your opportunity, opportunity for free gold with purchases ends on November 30th. So don't wait. Instead text the word America to the number 9898. 98 for full details. Still to come here on American Sunrise, we're going to be checking back in with David Zier. He is at the Embassy Diner in Bethpage, New York, Long Island. We'll hear from some real Americans like you. That's right after the break.
Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for Joining us this morning, we invite you to hop in our conversation on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. It is time now to take the political pulse of America. And today we're taking you to the pulse of America. Rav's own David Zier standing by with dozens of patriots at the Embassy Diner, the most Christmas decked diner, I would venture to say, in all of the state of New York. New it is there celebrating this Thanksgiving week with hardworking Americans who are indeed thankful. David Zier, good morning. Tell us what you're hearing from folks in the diner.
David Brody
Well, in the diner, you know, people are getting together with their families. Their kids are coming in from out of state who don't live here anymore and they're joining their families again. We interviewed two young ladies before. One moved to Florida for cost of living. The other's having a hard time getting a job even in health care, which is prominent on Long island here. I've got two great guests for you though. Gina, can I bring in Gus, the owner of the Bethpage Embassy Diner? Thank you very much. I appreciate you guys being here.
Dr. Gina
Gus, your. Your diner is absolutely beautiful.
David Brody
She said your diner's absolutely beautiful. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I look forward to seeing you one day here. So this place has been here almost 70 years. My grandfather was a cook here about 65 years ago. My mother hung out here in high school. But this embodies across the country, Gina, you know, the, the luncheonettes, the diner culture here, which is really embedded on Long Island.
Dr. Gina
So special. I had a chance to jump in there if you wanted to.
David Brody
Okay, yeah, yeah, go for it. I'm curious what Gus and others think about the whole thing. MTG Trump spat. Where does he come down on that? Yeah. So you're, you're a well known Trump supporter. You're a patriotic diner. You've had 5,000 people here a couple of weeks ago for a drone show. And what do you think about the MTG Trump breakup? What do I think about it? I think that I don't know why she went against him. I have no idea what would be the reason because you whatever Trump does, he does for the good of the country. So there should be no reason to go against our president. Gets mendible. Do I think it's mendable if she apologizes? I think so. Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit about the foil. Bitterly. You guys work. This guy works like 100 hours a week. You know, the Greek community on Long island has so many diners intergenerational, but they're they're disappearing. It's hard, right? High utility costs, high general liability facility costs, high taxes. Can't get good help. Right. Because people are leaving. What's going on? It's getting harder and harder. People don't want to work anymore. Their kids these days, they don't want to work anymore. They want to get work. They want to stay home and get paid. Nobody wants to work. They call them sick all the time. It's. It's crazy what's going on. The work ethic is going. The work ethic is gone. The work ethic is not there. I'm. Like you said, I'm here 80, 90 hours a week. Yeah. Seven days a week. I know. That's what, three in the morning? Morning. You were here a couple of weeks ago. So. All right, so how do you, how do you see things? You think they're going to get better? Because I know it's affected your business here. I do. I do. I really think it's going to get better. I think the president is doing everything in his power to make it better. I already see it. Look, the gas prices going down, it's going to get better. It's just going to take time. Things Rome wasn't built in the day. All right, we really appreciate everything, guys. We're going to bring you back on later. I have someone else running in the third Congressional district here. Greg Hack, he's a lawyer, owns some of the biggest law firms in New York City, but running here on Long island to replace the George Santos seat in the third District, maybe winning it back for the Republicans. Greg, tell us your story. I grew up in the district. I went to public school. I worked since I was 13 washing dishes in a restaurant just like this. Put myself through school. After high school, I joined the Air Force. I was stationed in Crete, Greece, in the last couple years of the Cold War. Thank you so much for serving us. I wanted to talk to you guys with Greg Hack really quick because it's important. You know that seat Santos lost the first time, won the second time, but his conviction for identity theft and wire fraud, a lot of the voters are really upset in the third District. It's not far from here. We need that seat in Congress. Right. How are you going to win that back? How are you going to regain the trust with the voters up there? Well, by being worthy of that trust. I've. Everything that I've done in my past is, I think the best indication of what somebody's going to do in the future is what they've done in the past. And I invite everybody to look at my past. I mean, I started my firm right after 9 11. I did 911 cases for free. 911 Long Island. We lost 475 people. Right. Radical Islamic terror took one of my best friends. We've been victims of it here. You know, Mamdani not denouncing it being the mayor of New York City. Is there, does he have like a leash around him? He's not going to be able to do everything he wants. What's your outlook and your district is all financial people in Manhattan, wealthy community, North Shore. Is that going to be affected? It's absolutely going to be affected. We have, you have a communist mayor in New York City. I mean, they're already talking about an exodus of people. I mean, we already live in the state that's the highest tax and has the greatest exodus of people leaving. So when you have those high net worth, high net worth people leaving, like the taxes, the local community gets affected. The local community, dry cleaner, diners. Take for example, Tom Suozzi. Tom Suozzi just pitched a. Tom Swazi. Just the current Democratic congressman. The current Democratic congressman, he just pitched a 2.6% increase in taxes and a federal tax on people earning over $400,000 a year. And he's doing that, but he's threading the needle trying to say that he's only taxing the rich. So he's playing to the leftist of the governor. Hochul here wants to raise taxes on corporate taxes for businesses in New York. Not a good look. I don't know if you guys have any questions for Greg, but that's the story on the ground here on Long Island. Hey, Greg, Terrence Bates here. Welcome to the show. You probably can't hear me, but David, if you'll pass that along. I'm curious if Greg and other New Yorkers expect, if you will, President Trump to, to focus on New York City itself. He's obviously New Yorker. It's near and dear to his heart. What sorts of things would they like to see President Trump do specific to New York City? And I realize that he is the president of all the United States, but let's just be honest, New York is near indeed to his heart. Yeah, he's a New Yorker at heart. There's no doubt, Greg. So Terrence Bates from American Sunrise is asking us, wants to get your feedback on. You think Trump is going to really focus on New York? It's his birthplace. He has so much pride in New York. What do you see for the Trump administration and getting a handle on maybe being overwatch for New York. Fernando? Yeah, well, you know, a lot of people, people are upset with Trump and how he welcomed Mandani into the White House. However, he's playing politics, he's doing what he's supposed to do. I can assure you that Trump is going to use every tool at his disposal to make sure that he gets a monkey wrench. So Mamdani, with his proposal for free buses has another 7.5 billion shortfall his deficit next year. If he gets through what he wants, they're going to be short $18 billion in New York City. Yeah, that's going to be. That's it. What are they doing to raise taxes? It's going to be catastrophic. They can raise taxes, but they're going to raise taxes and people, more people are going to leave and then it's going to shift down to exactly who pays all the bills, usually the poor and the middle class. If he raises taxes, the governor has the veto power because the tax has to get approved by the state. Right. And the legislature and the governor. Right. Do you think Hokulen, an election year will even go there? No, I'm sure she won't. She's already said that she wouldn't. However. However. Yeah, I. She won't. She won't. All right. Things are tight for your, you know, potential constituents out there. A lot of hard working people too in that district. You know, how do you think they're coping with prices at the food store? You know, I saw lettuce yesterday, $4 ahead here for lettuce on long is A$50 about a year ago. Yeah. Prices are getting insane and you know, it's, it costs over $800,000. Over $800,000 for an average single family house in this district. If we can't attract young people to come back, I'm talking how could you ever do it? How can you ever do it? Even at 4% interest, it's a lot. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. And he wants to raise taxes even more. It's going to drive more people out. We're not going to have young people, we're not going to have innovation, we're not going to have businesses and creativity. We're going to have an older population and large island will die. Yeah, well, we already do have an older population. The average age of home ownership in the United States was 31 in 1981. It's 59 today. We got to address those problems. Back to you in the studio, guys.
Dr. Gina
All right, David. Thank you, David. Thank you so much and thanks to everybody there at the diner. We kind of wish we were with them, don't we, guys? Kind of wish I could get some biscuits and gravy right now with some over easy eggs.
David Brody
I'm getting a patty melt. I'm getting a patty melt for lunch. So that's a Long island staple. So perfect.
Dr. Gina
That sounds good as well. That sounds good as well. David Zier, thank you so much. How nice to sort of do a pre celebration, right, guys, of Thanksgiving with our own David Zier there. And there's just no place like, like folks in a diner. What is it? What is it? Tape approach.
David Brody
Well, it's folks in a diner. And also, let's be clear, it's folks in a diner on Long Island. And you know, there's something to be said about that. You know, obviously I grew up in Manhattan, the mean streets of the Upper west side where we sipped lattes. But the point is, is that, look, that Long island crowd, it is no nonsense. They're not playing around and they're going to give it to you straight. I mean, look what the last guest with David Zier talked about with Trump. He's like, yeah, we didn't like what Trump was doing with Mamdani. You know, now they get it. They get the street smart of it, but they also don't like that he was kind of saying that to Mamdani. So, I mean, like, they're not gonna pull any punches, you know. T. Bates and you know what? We're in an environment where why should you. Life is tough. Let's just be honest. Life is tough. Especially when you're in a district like that where the average cost of a house, house is $800,000. Your kids are coming home from school, can barely find a job. You know, at this point, you want to keep it straight and you want somebody to talk to you straight and tell you just what it is. You know, I get it. I, I get it. Times are hard and, and you don't want to be BS'd, you know, you want people to keep it honest with you and you're going to keep it honest with them and try to make the, make the best of life. I get it.
Dr. Gina
There's a guiding country, and I still.
David Brody
Call it Long island as well.
Dr. Gina
Patriotic, probably have real trees, eat turkey on Thanksgiving and listen to country music. Just saying. All right, you guys.
David Brody
Oh, my goodness. Really, Doctor, you just.
Dr. Gina
Okay, okay, Moving on. Marjorie Taylor Greene firing back, slamming reports she's secretly eyeing a 2028 presidential run. But first, here's a look at what you get the moment you join our rev and that's Ambassadors program. Listen to this.

Dr. Gina
Welcome back to American Sunrise. Let's spill some tea.

And here's the tactical each bag brews twice. Just go to artilleryteaco.com and use the code RAV for 10% off your first order. Again, that website is artilleryteaco.com, premium tea, mission driven and brewed for the brave. It is time now to spill some tea. And in the cup today is Marjorie Taylor Greene's Exit it from politics. The Georgia Republican is slamming reports that she's secretly plotting a 2028 White House run. MTG, who just announced she'll resign from Congress early next year, says the rumors are a complete lie and that she has zero interest in running for president. Greene says the job requires begging for donations, destroying your health and entering a system that refuses to fix America's problems. She also says she's not willing to make the deals needed to climb the political ladder, accusing the political industrial complex of blocking outsiders like her. Time magazine claims sources told them she is quietly eyeing 2028. But Greene fiercely denies it, calling the story lying, not journalism. For more, let's bring in David Brody, Terence Bates and Dr. Gina. Gina, interested to hear your thoughts on this. You know a lot of what she said about being president. She wasn't wrong. She's not wrong, Emily. Unfortunately, the political industrial complex does block outsiders. President got in because he played it savvily. But also, let's just not pretend like the elephant isn't in the room that he has billions of dollars of his own money to put into the race. This is the problem with real people running like Marjorie Taylor Greene or even J.D. vance or a lot of others is that by the time they get to the office of president, by the time they really get through that primary, they are forced to sell their soul to the financial powers that be. That's why the independent wealth is almost a mandate at this point. David Brody and that's why I don't know how this next election is going to go. I'm really curious your insights here.
David Brody
Sure. Well, a couple of things. Here's what I think is going to happen. No, she's not going to run for president for sure. Here's what I think is going to happen. I think she's going to start a super pac. I think she's going to start in America first slash America Only, whatever you want to call it, super pac. I think Tucker Carlson potentially could be involved, not in the super pac, but kind of side by side and kind of a media arm, if you will, of that. And they're going to start rooting out 2026 Republicans that are, you know, not sufficient when it comes to America First. And then at that point they turn their eyes to 2028 and they become a power broker. And what does that look like? Well, it means pushing J.D. vance to be more isolationist. It means potentially running a third party candidate maybe. And I say Tucker, I'm not saying Tucker would run, but if Tucker runs, he'd have to run against J.D. vance and I don't think he'd do that. So I don't know if it's going to be Tucker, but somebody that Marjorie Taylor Greene can get behind. And then who knows if there's some sort of role in the next administration where she feels there's more of an America first candidate. I can't believe I just said that compared to President Trump, cuz he is America First. But if she believes that there's someone that's more isolationist, if you will, a little bit more America only in her view, then maybe she has a role in that administration. That's how I see it going down.
Dr. Gina
Terrence, any thoughts before we wrap this up?
David Brody
No, I was just gonna say it's gonna be interesting to see how it ultimately does play out. And I think that one of the feathers in her cap right now is that even as an outsider she's still going to be able to be one of the loudest voices for America first, or as David called it, America only, however you want to define it. I think she's going to be one of the loudest voices out there and maybe that voice will influence some of the candidates, will influence policy, which gives her a little bit more leverage even without being in the House itself.
Dr. Gina
Yeah, she certainly has a very, very loud voice within the Republican Party. And I don't think she's going to be quiet anytime soon.
David Brody
Soon.
Dr. Gina
Still to come on American Sunrise, we are checking in with our own David Zier at the Embassy Diner in New York, where he's been talking with real Americans and celebrating the holiday week. That's after the break. Stay with us.

We're going to go a little around the horn here about the Thanksgiving holiday. Adele, what's your favorite part about Thanksgiving? Oh, family and watching real news. How about. Oh, you watch real American Voice. I heard that's the only channel you watch. It is. I don't watch the checks in the mail. The checks in the mail. Jay, what's your favorite part about Thanksgiving? Being with family and knowing that Trump's in office right now. All right. Thomas, come on in for a second. So, Thomas, we were talking. Where are you spending Thanksgiving this year? With my aunt in the city. All right. Any crazy uncles at the dinner table? Politics. You guys get into it. We used to talk about immigration was and all that stuff, but now I don't even bring it up because you get mad at me. That's right. Stand your ground. Stand your ground. You can kiss and make up later. We've got, we've got Tom John with us from Toledo, Ohio. Yeah. Oh, hi. Pamela, right. Come on in. Why'd you come to New York? Oh, came here to see the family. Family. Yep. Now, Trump did a lot for Toledo years ago with the Whirlpool plan and G and bringing back some manufacturing. Toledo's been a little depressed over the years. What's going on over there? So right now, as you know, Dana. Dana's. The big Jeep and driveline thing. Yeah, we're really pulling in some manufacturing there with Chrysler and that. So everything's going well. All right, wonderful, Pamela. And what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
Dr. Gina
Oh, my family and being able to.
David Brody
Be here and drive here and be in Westbury. And we have Paul with us here. Right. Oh, you're Keith, right? Keith, come on in. Where are you from? I live in Westbury. In Westbury. So, Keith, tell us about, you know, what does Thanksgiving mean to you? And are you close with your family? Yeah, they actually just pulled into town last night, and we're gonna just keep up with some of the family traditions. All right, that's wonderful. Again, great people. Family oriented people on Long Island. Give yourselves a round of applause. I want to thank you so much. And we got more coming today, so don't go anywhere. From the Bethpage Embassy Diner, patriots, David.
