Joe Biden paging you somewhere in Delaware. What city could be next? We have the latest. Plus, the Schumer shutdown shows no end in sight. And tensions are heating up in D.C. president Trump preparing now to roll out a list of programs on the chopping block. What's on the line? We have the details and some psychiatrists calling for RFK Jr to be replaced at HHS. LOL. How far will the medical deep state go to stop the Maha movement? Those stories much more as American Sunrise starts on a Thursday right now. Good morning, America.

David Brody
Hey, good morning, everybody. Welcome to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody coming to you live from Corruption Central. That'd be D.C. let's bring in Emily Finn. She's filling in for Dr. G here at the top. Dr. G is going to be here in just a few minutes. And of course, the old. I didn't say old, sorry. The reliable standby T. Bates. I'm off to a horrible start. Joining us live in Denver, by the way, speaking about off to a horrible start. Let me continue that trend. T. Bates. Yesterday I said that I thought it was going to be John Bolton charges in the White House Oval Office there with Kash Patel.
- [02:03]
Terrence Bates
Okay. Yeah, we were both wrong.
- [02:05]
David Brody
So, yeah, this just in. I was wrong. Joining a long list of times that I've been wrong. So good morning to you, sir.
- [02:12]
Terrence Bates
Well, it's not just you because I thought it was gonna be John Bolton as well. Instead it was Operation Summer Heat. Hadn't even heard of Operation Summer Heat until yesterday. Basically, it was the FBI's crime strategy. The FBI has been working all summer long trying to get crime off the streets around the country. President Trump lauding their efforts in Memphis, Chicago and other places. President Trump, though, also talking about other cities that might be targets for this crime crackdown.
- [02:42]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, I talked about crime, but I never knew that we were going to get into it like we did, you know, I mean, I used to watch these cities with the murders. Chicago recently had one deal where they had 11 murders in one weekend. And they said, well, yeah, but it was a holiday weekend. They actually told me that was the reason, like it was okay because it was a holiday. It was Labor Day. These people are the worst. They are. They really have to, they better. I tell you what, the people in Chicago and the people in places like that, that could be fixed at some point it gets to where you can't fix it anymore. It's too far gone. And we have some cities like that. But these are great cities that can be fixed. I'm going to be strongly recommending, at the request of government officials, which is always nice, that you start looking at San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco. There's one of our great cities.
- [03:38]
Terrence Bates
Emily One of the key things in trying to secure some of these cities is the buy in from state and local officials. And that's also something that President Trump alluded to.
- [03:48]
Tracy Anthony
Absolutely. He needs to have cooperation with state and local officials. And this is what I was just talking with Jake Novak on the Early Edition show about what J.B. pritzker in Chicago has been saying about Trump and his crime crackdown. And it just, it is so sad to see them misaligned because at the end of the day, safety is the utmost priority for the people of Illinois. And it's really sad that JB Pritzker doesn't seem to think so. But President Trump is staying strong and he's going to continue on to other cities. Like we just heard from him right there, San Francisco maybe next. David?
- [04:15]
David Brody
Yeah, and you said other cities, and I think that's the key because the other cities are going to be dropping like every month or so. And I don't think this is definitely not going away. We're talking about four years of city after city. But we've got to drop a Bible verse now, don't we, Emily? I believe we do.
- [04:32]
Tracy Anthony
Yes, we do. All right, let's check it out. It comes from Psalm 34, verse 4 through 6. It says, I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. Always great to start the day with the Bible verse. We do want to bring in our first guest of the show. It is pastor in North Carolina, Congressman Mark Harris. Congressman, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Want to get your take on the crime crackdown? How do you feel it's gone so far?
- [05:03]
Congressman Mark Harris
Well, Emily, thank you so much for having me, it's always a pleasure to be with all of you. Listen, I think the president has continued to just demonstrate the leadership that we expected that he was going to bring to this second term in the White House. And we've not been disappointed in just one of the areas, has been in the area of law and order. And what we've seen happen in Washington, D.C. was amazing. What we've seen happening in Memphis, even right now, again, amazing. And as that report came out yesterday and Cash Patel was sharing many of those statistics and all of that information from the Oval Office, it really was, I think, encouraging and heartening for Americans to know that we can get this done, but we've got to be able to work together. And of course, what it does is it highlights the Democrat soft on crime policies of the left that have continued just to create chaos in so many of our major cities. And of course, we've seen our share of it right in Charlotte, North Carolina, where I hail from.
- [06:03]
David Brody
Yeah. And Congressman, it just seems like the president is not just fighting Democrats and liberals and some in his own party. He's definitely fighting the judiciary. Reminds me of a Star wars movie. The judiciary Strikes Back instead of the empire, which in a way, if you think about it, is an empire. We've got this now, NBC News headline on a different topic. But they're everywhere. The judge now blocking Trump's layoffs during the shutdown. They did this judge did this late afternoon yesterday calling them illegal. I mean, I feel like Donald Trump has been fighting the court since he was like 24 years old in Manhattan. Tell us more.
- [06:42]
Congressman Mark Harris
Well, I agree. I think the courts right now seems to be really where so many of our problems are when we talk about this crime issue. So many of these people that are arrested are ending up back on the streets. That seemed to be the problem that we were facing in Charlotte. Our Judiciary Committee held a field hearing just a couple of weeks ago in Charlotte, North Carolina, around that horrible murder of Irina Zarutska, you might recall. And in the midst of that hearing, not only while we had gathered to talk about what had happened to Irena and a guy that had been arrested 14 times prior, had spent five years in prison, was known to have mental health issues, and yet a magistrate just put him right back out on the street and then he committed this horrendous murder. Well, in the midst of that hearing, we heard from a father that many in the nation have now heard from named Steven Federica, who shared about his daughter Logan and the horrendous murder. And what was amazing in his story, the guy that committed that murder of his daughter 39 times, 25 felonies that he had been arrested for, and yet he was out and able to do that. We've got serious problems with the judiciary. And then, of course, we have these federal judges that are trying to slow down the America first agenda. And that's a real problem. And we're trying to make sure we've already passed no road rulings here in the House that stop these federal district court judges from making rulings that somehow are impacting the nation. And so we've got to continue to move forward with this, get our message out, and we've got to get these laws passed.
- [08:19]
Terrence Bates
Congressman, what you just described happening in your hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, are institutional and systemic issues. Those words institutional systemic also seem to be appropriate when it comes to you and your colleagues and the work that you're doing in trying to get the government reopened there in Washington, D.C. when I think of institutional and systemic, I think those concerns, I think would be appropriate when we talk about the way we go about funding the government and the House actually going through on its constitutional duty and funding all of these appropriation bills. Which gets me to my actual question. Congressman, what are your thoughts in terms of how long it's going to ultimately take to get the government open? And I think it is appropriate. Again, no disrespect, but I think it's an appropriate and a fair question to get to the root of the matter. And it's that we haven't as a government appropriated or passed the 12 appropriations bills, all of them in order to fully fund the government. That's ultimately what this comes down to, is it not?
- [09:20]
Congressman Mark Harris
Terrence, you're spot on. And all of us have run again and again. That's saying that we want to make sure we restore regular order. And in this particular situation, it's a very interesting situation to see how it unfolds unfolded. We did invest six months of this year passing the one big beautiful bill or the Working Families Tax act. And getting that passed consumed a great deal of time. The appropriations process has been working through. We passed three appropriation bills out of the House. All 12 have actually passed out of committee in the Senate. We have them in the pipeline. That was the whole point of the clean CR that the US House passed on Friday, September 19th. We were going to avoid a government shutdown that would happen at the close of business on September 30th if we had just passed that CR. We did pass it in the House. We sent it over to the Senate. Chuck Schumer grabbed hold of it and decided he was going to make a political move. And here we are all of these days later, nine votes later, by the Senate, each time rejecting the clean cr. But yet this clean CR has no frills, no surprises, nothing there. It simply was giving us an additional seven weeks to November 21st to continue to pass appropriation bills. And that's what the whole point of it was. And Chuck Schumer would rather hold the American government hostage and say, no, we're going to keep it closed down until you give us these $1.5 trillion that we want in spending, basically undoing everything that we sought to do in the one big, beautiful bill. And we don't probably have time now to go down the list of things they're demanding, but that's what they are. It's just like a ransom note and a hostage demands, and it's, it's something we cannot tolerate. So we're continuing to hold firm. The Senate will continue to deal with this. They've got to vote for this to reopen the government. It's absolutely critical. And thank God President Trump is doing the things he's doing to try to maneuver to make sure that our troops got paid yesterday on the 15th of the month. And again, they're working hard to do these things. But we've got to get the government open. And Chuck Schumer is the one that can answer when.
- [11:36]
David Brody
Congressman, 10 seconds here. But I heard Senator John Kennedy say he thinks this is going past Thanksgiving. Do you think this is going past Thanksgiving?
- [11:44]
Congressman Mark Harris
I have no way of knowing. I really don't. I pray not. I pray that the people of this country will rise up and contact these Democrat senators. We need five more to break the log jam. And surely to goodness they'll come to their senses and make this happen.
- [12:01]
Tracy Anthony
Congressman Harris, thank you so much for your time. Thanks for joining us this morning.
- [12:04]
David Brody
Thanks.
- [12:04]
Congressman Mark Harris
Thank you for having me.

Tracy Anthony
Coming up, President Trump also hinting at new actions against cartels. We take you live to the White House for an update. And later, millions of Americans are expected to hit the streets this weekend for anti Trump no Kings rallies nationwide. But what's really driving the movement and what new wave of outrage could follow below, don't miss our take that's coming up on American Sunrise.

- [14:31]
Terrence Bates
President Trump continues to defend recent. Recent strikes. Excuse me, on drug boats in the Caribbean. In case you missed some of what he had to say, here it is.
- [14:40]
Brian Glenn
Because we've got the sea very well under control. We've had a couple of days where there isn't a boat to be found and that. I view that as a good thing, not a bad thing. But we had tremendous amounts coming in by boats, by very expensive boats. You know, they have a lot of money, very fast, very expensive boats that were pretty big.
- [14:58]
David Brody
And the way you look at it.
- [15:00]
Brian Glenn
Is every boat that we knock out, we save 25,000American lives.
- [15:07]
Terrence Bates
For more, let's bring in RAV Chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn. Brian, good morning. Despite the government shutdown, there's still news coming out of the White House every single day, lots of it. One of the big headlines that I'm interested in is President Trump authorizing the CIA to do covert operations in Venezuela against the cartels. This is huge news, particularly in this day and age. What can you tell us about that put all of that into real perspective for us?
- [15:34]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, I was in the Oval Office, Terrence, when this came up. The reporter was actually standing right next to me. They asked that question and you know, he said, For 30 years we've been trying to tackle the drug cartels. They've got, got faster boats than our coast guard. They can simply get away. So these airstrikes only make sense because he says you can't outrun a bullet, which you can't. So we've been very successful on striking these boats and even when challenged, how do we know that these boats contain drugs, they contain drug dealers? He says, we have intel that lets us know that. So despite the fake news, trying to mislead the American people that were just firing rockets at random boats at sea, that is wrong. We have the intel on that now. When he went a little bit further, talk about the CIA going into Venezuela and targeting these people. Terrence, this sounds like something out of a movie that we might have seen produced by Hollywood. But he didn't go into a lot of detail and he said on purpose, didn't want to tell, obviously the opposition, the Venezuelan gangs of what we'll be doing, but they are taking a hands on approach to, to tackling the drug cartels. And if you remember, once again, this was discussed on the campaign trail, targeting drug cartels with our military and taking them out where in these spaces that are most vulnerable for them coming across.
- [16:58]
Terrence Bates
Brian, While the CIA operations obviously appear to be in the best interest of the in or have American interests, if you will, it also seems from the outside looking in that this might be a geopolitical issue in terms of a potential invasion, for lack of a better word, into another sovereign nation.
- [17:18]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, I mean, obviously they've got a lot of political turmoil down there and that's I think important not only to the people of Venezuela, but it's also important to us. And there's a lot of resources down in that country. So the stabilization of that country, really trying to get rid of the cartels that control a lot of, of portions of a lot of South America, Central America, even go into Mexico. That's a big, that's a big element of cleaning up a country and getting them a little bit more stable to be able to govern their country. So this does have geopolitical connections, but I think more importantly, I think it's saving lives. As he laid it out, I mean, the amount of fentanyl and drugs are taking off, taken off the streets from potentially being trafficked in the US is huge.
- [18:08]
Terrence Bates
Hey, Brian. Operation Summer Heat, this kind of goes hand in hand. The FBI's crackdown on crime nationwide, the Numbers are staggering in terms of what was able to be accomplished just in a few months over the summer.
- [18:20]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, no, it's crazy. Pam Bondi and Cash Patel laid out kind of a review, a game, a scorecard, if you will. How many guns were taken off the street streets? Not guns from lawful owners, but guns from felons, convicted felons, criminals taking those guns off the street, drugs taken off the street, taking pedophiles, people that have been charged with molesting like 4 year olds. I mean, the worst of the worst is happening right now and people in these areas are applauding the success that they're having. So I would continue to think that they are going to move into different cities now. He was very cautious to name the particular city that's next. He did mention, however, Terrence, that San Francisco, he's got his eye on San Francisco as California's got major problems. And when you look at the Olympics coming up, he even hinted around about cleaning up the state for the Olympics. But better yet, he looked at Boston and said, look, Boston, if you don't clean up your city, if you don't allow the Trump administration, the National Guard, all of our resources to come into your city and clean up the Boston area, then you may not get that FIFA World cup and he will call FIFA and make that happen. So I said this yesterday. If you're a fan of soccer and you live in the Boston area and you want those FIFA matches, you better get on the phone and call your city officials and tell them to let President Trump clean up your city.
- [19:50]
Terrence Bates
There you go. Brian Glenn with the last word. Always good to talk to you, Brian. Appreciate it.
- [19:54]
Brian Glenn
Yes, sir. Thank you.
- [19:55]
Terrence Bates
All right, let's get a quick check of your forecast now. Meteorologist Tracy Anthony standing by. Tracy, good morning.
- [20:01]
Tracy Anthony
Hey, good morning, Terrence. We are still tracking the same system that kind of wreaked havoc across parts of Southern California throughout the last couple of days.
- [20:12]
Dr. Gina
And it's going to continue to make.
- [20:14]
Tracy Anthony
Its way across the Rockies and out into the Plains. And we're going to be tracking this.
- [20:18]
Dr. Gina
System well in into the weekend and.
- [20:20]
Tracy Anthony
Even early next week.
- [20:22]
Dr. Gina
So waking up this morning with some rain showers across the North Central.
- [20:25]
Tracy Anthony
Still some rain and snow out west, but pretty calm, quiet and clear for.
- [20:30]
Dr. Gina
Areas of the East Coast. Now that's where we're waking up to some frost and freeze concerns, some dense.
- [20:36]
Tracy Anthony
Fog as well, and some winter alerts.
- [20:38]
Dr. Gina
Still back across the West.
- [20:40]
Tracy Anthony
So that's what's going on coast to coast this morning. Coming up in an hour Terrence, I'll.
- [20:44]
Dr. Gina
Break down our high temperatures, and we're going to what we can expect as.
- [20:47]
Tracy Anthony
We look into the weekend.
- [20:50]
Terrence Bates
High temperatures. Oh, you know how to get to a man's heart. Appreciate it. Tracy, we'll talk to you in an hour.
- [20:55]
Congressman Mark Harris
Sounds good.
- [20:56]
Terrence Bates
All right, up next, Democrats continue holding the country hostage by keeping the government closed and pushing for radical policies. So how long will this actually go on? We'll take a closer look. First, though, a quick check of this day in history. It was on this date in 1962 that the Cuban Missile crisis began. It brought America to the verge of nuclear war. President John F. Kennedy was shown photos confirming the presence of the Soviet missiles in Cuba, which, of course, led to a standoff between the two countries for 13 days. The world was on edge as this geopolitical battle played out. Ultimately, a deal was reached to dismantle the missiles, preventing a global catastrophe. More American Sunrise coming your way in a moment.

Well, that's beautiful. Winthrop harbor illustration. Hey, I'm gonna get in the chat. Anybody know where that is exactly? In Illinois. Oh, my goodness. I haven't been there. I need to go. Welcome back, folks. You know, here on American Sunrise, we talk a lot about faith, family and freedom, and rightly so. And how important all of that is to protect the values that. And that. All of our values, these important values. That's exactly what amac, the association of Mature American Citizens, is doing every single day. AMAC is the conservative alternative to aarp, thank goodness. And their members receive discounts on travel insurance and more, plus access to helpful tools and the excellent AMAC magazine, filled with stories and information that truly matter. So Right now you can receive up to 33% off when you choose a five year membership. So that's basically just over a dollar a month. It's a great investment to hold Washington accountable and keep America strong. You hear that, Chucky? That'd be Chucky Schumer. Join the community that's standing up for the future. What you do is you go to AMAC US Sunrise and become a member. Today, let's continue on with the AMAC theme and bring in the editor in chief of AMAC Newsline. That would be our good friend Shane Harrah is back with us. Hey, Shane. So there's this no Kings rally coming up this weekend. I need a barf bag. But beyond that, it's a total farce. I mean, if the protesters were really concerned about authoritarianism, maybe they should aim their fire. Sorry, I shouldn't say aim their fire, but you know what I'm saying? Train their vitriol, if you will, at Democrats, not Republicans. Talk a little bit more about that.
- [24:56]
Shane Harrah
Yeah, so it's kind of interesting if you take a step back here, we're having this big no Kings rally, right. The Democrats are very excited about it. But what is a king? Well, a king is somebody who believes that he has the right to rule regardless of what the people think. And what are we actually seeing right now in Washington with this government shutdown? We're seeing the Democrats who lost in sweeping, historic fashion last November. They're saying, no, if you want to keep the government open, you must submit to our demands. Our demands that you reverse the bill that you passed earlier this year that the American people put you in office to pass. That you enact restrictions on the President's ability to cut waste, fraud and abuse from the federal government, that you just unilaterally pass hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies. And that's really what a king is. Right. So if you're gonna protest no Kings, you should really be protesting with the Democrats. Democrats are trying to do in Washington right now. And I think that's the great irony here.
- [25:53]
David Brody
Well, and absolutely. And to just continue on with that theme, Democrats claiming that they have this right to dictate major changes to national policy. They lost last year's election in historic fashion, by the way. It's not like this was like this was a razor close deal in 2024 and now they're holding the government hostage in a shutdown. I wonder how long you think this is gonna be going on for and what AMAC members can do here in the process.
- [26:20]
Shane Harrah
Yeah, absolutely. Well, AMAC's already been involved in encouraging senators, Democrat senators particularly, to open the government. We've had multiple outreach efforts. Just one of the many benefits you get with an AMAC membership is that you get that sort of voice on Capitol Hill. You get to participate in that outreach. And so we're going to continue to do that. From a political perspective, I think the Democrats are assuming that the November 1st deadline when Obamacare premiums are going to start going back up. I think they think that's the next next leverage point here. But I think they're wrong on the messaging. I think that the American people understand that Republicans have all voted to open the government. Even two Democrats have crossed the hour. I think it's three have crossed the aisle and said, yes, we're willing to reopen the government, then we'll negotiate the Obamacare subsidies, which is essentially the position the Republicans are taking. And so it's a pretty big gamble from Chuck Schumer and I do not think it's going to pay off.
- [27:17]
David Brody
Shane, we've got less than 30 seconds. Real quick about the judges in this country, the unelected liberal judges. What can AMAC members do? How are you guys? Been kind of mobilizing there? Got about 20 seconds or so.
- [27:28]
Shane Harrah
Yeah, absolutely. So we have been active on that. But our big role I think is educating the public. Right. So in the cases where there are elected judges or other elected positions in our judicial system, we're hosting seminars, we're holding roundtables with them so that voters, when they go into the polls, they understand exactly what they're voting for in the voting booth.
- [27:47]
David Brody
Phenomenal. Amac. Gotta get it everybody. And you see the information there on the screen. Shane Harris, great to have you as always.

Dr. Gina
Well, it looks kind of rainy there this morning. Kind of raining here this morning, too. Can we go back to that great shot from someplace? Lake Winthrop in Illinois or whatever that was. I've never seen that before, but that was beautiful. I want to be there this morning in my mind. All right. Welcome back to American Sunrise. Lots of you asking in the chat how. The Donnie Iris concert was incredible. By the way, a venue named Jergels I highly, highly recommend in Pennsylvania, right outside of Pittsburgh. Thank you for joining us. Time now for today's health news, sponsored by the wellness company under the Microscope today, health risks to children spending too much time on social media. Now, this isn't any kind of a big shock to anyone, but this study quantifies what we already knew, sounding the alarm on social media and school performance. This time, kids as young as nine years old were studied. And researchers publishing in the Journal of the American Medical foundation found that the more time children spend scrolling, the more their grades and even their memory suffer. Children who were online for just one hour per day scored up to two points lower on reading and language tests. But those spending three to four hours, their scores dropped a whole four points. Now scientists say it's not just screen time, it's distraction. Many kids are skipping homework to chase the next viral post. This even has a nickname for those affected. It's called doom scrolling. And it's dooming children's futures in new ways. Experts warn that parents need to send stricter boundaries or risk an entire generation more fluent in emojis than English. The takeaway though, it's not just what they're watching, it's what they're missing. Well, there's a new administration in Washington D.C. they brought a lot of positive changes when it comes to fixing our broken health care system. The reality though, there's only so much government can do. And if we really want to make America healthy again, that's going to start at home. And that's where the Wellness Company comes in. You see and hear from their doctors all the time and you know their products are the gold standard when it comes to keeping you and your family safe and healthy. They give you the opportunity to be sure you're prepared for whatever happens with their series of medical kits. These prescription kits contain an assortment of life saving meds and guidebooks to tell you how to use the meds that are in the kit. Additionally, the Wellness Company offers a variety of products from parasite cleanses to methylene blue, weight loss and more. These can help you stay healthy and live a longer, more satisfying life. Make America healthy again. It starts at home. Do your part. Protect the health of yourself and your family. Go to TWC Health RAV today. Give it an order. That's TWC Health RAV. Use the promo code RAV. That'll save you 10B ZINT. Alright. That's how David Brody says it. Bzint, that's not how I say it. Don't kid yourself. That's exactly how I say it. All right. Staying on the health front, now comes a stunning revolt from the psychiatric community over HHS Secretary RFK Jr. The deep state wants him gone. That tells you he's probably right over the target. Don't you know it. The Southern California Psychiatric Society and the Committee to Protect Public Mental Health have issued calls demanding for his resignation and replacement. In their statements they charge that Kennedy's leadership has increased stigma, sown fear, eroded access to essential medical health and addiction, yada yada yada. But Secretary Kennedy, well, you know what he's doing. He's focusing on rooting out the bureaucracy and making America Healthy again. And the critics likely come from the very institutions that Kennedy is challenging the existence of. Many were paid by administrators whose policies broke the system he's working hard to fix. So it's not really a surprise they are bitterly clinging to the antiquated system that made America sick in the first place. They should be held accountable. That's what should be happening. Anyway, for more, let's bring in Psychiatrist Carol Lieberman. Dr. Good to have you Want to get right to the heart of it. What RFK Jr is doing is ticking off a lot of people because they've had very cushy situations for a very long time. They've been paid a lot of times by not just the medical establishment, but by pharmaceutical companies themself to keep things the way they are to maintain the status quo. Your comments.
- [35:06]
Dr. Carol Lieberman
Yes, and one of the things, of course, we all know that RFK Jr. Is trying to do is to get Big Pharma out of our health care system. In other words, out of the control of people's health. Yes, These organizations are not very happy. You know, part of the, part of the problem is that they're saying, you know, he's, they're claiming that he's taking money away from organizations that, that help people. RFK Jr. Is doing a great job. He, first of all, he has a lot of good plans that, for things that have to do with food, fluoride in the water. All of those things affect mental health as well. And the bottom line is that our mental health system does need overhauling. People don't like, people don't like, change that. All of him, he's doing a lot of things at once, but he's saying that he's going to do research. He's not totally changing anything really. I mean, you know, right away without doing research on it. And, you know, one of the big bugaboos that, that psychiatrists are complaining about is the ssri. Now, I think probably part of his focus on that is the fact that his second wife committed suicide and they had. She. There were three antidepressants in her system when they, when she died. So of course he's going to pay attention to that. His own heroin addiction. These are things that gave him experience with the mental health community. And obviously there, there are experiences that show that psychiatrists did not do a great job. Also, you know, what's so interesting is people come from what they know. And so like, for example, Mitch McConnell, who is very much, he's the, the only or the most vocal Republican against RFK. Jr. And he particularly doesn't like what he's doing with vaccines because Mitch McConnell talks about how he had polio as a child and, you know, he. So he's all for the polio vaccine. Well, so of course, everyone goes from their own experience and wants to fix things or fix the mistakes from the past. But what really needs to happen, the mental health system really does need overhauling. For one thing. The main thing that needs to be overhauled is that psychiatrists need to stop becoming pill pushers. This is what's happened because of insurance, where the insurance companies aren't paying psychiatrists to do therapy. And so they're, they're just being paid to give out pills and they don't really treat people well. They just give them a prescription. And that is the main cause. If I could fix one thing in America. Well, two things really. I'd love to bring back the state hospitals because we, the people who have chronic mental illness are in the jails or in the streets. So I'd like to do that. And I'd also like to fix this whole issue with psychiatrists. They need to do therapy, not just hand out prescriptions. And as you know, and as a forensic psychiatrist, I've seen a lot of cases where people have committed suicide, where people have committed homicide because of all this mess, that they're not really given enough time with the psychiatrist and enough. And therapy, medication alone doesn't do anything.
- [38:19]
Dr. Gina
What has happened to us, Dr. Lieberman, when we have somebody like RFK Jr. Who is simply saying, I want the data, I want the science, I want the real research that isn't funded by the very medication in question. I want real double blind, serious research done. And then, yes, I want Americans to have access to everything, including he's decreasing costs. What is wrong with America when we are rejecting that?
- [38:50]
Dr. Carol Lieberman
Well, some people are just scared of change, you know, and scared of how this change is going to affect them. But so far, the things that he's been doing, trying to fix the food, trying to not have fake food, not have additives, trying to work on chronic diseases, trying to, to have a better solution for Covid, you know, it started with the COVID vaccine and how people could be against his work to take away the COVID vaccine when we are seeing every day more and more people having reactions, side effects from that vaccine that are worse than the COVID epidemic altogether. So I mean, it's just fear of change.
- [39:30]
Dr. Gina
Yeah. And fear of loss of a big old boondoggle of money that people have had access to. For a long, long time. Also, I think it's important to note, though, he's not trying to take away anything, even the COVID vaccine. He's fine. If you yourself want to go get a COVID vaccine, no matter how much evidence there is that that's a really dumb thing to do, he still wants you to have your freedom to do it. He just doesn't want you to be forced to do it if the research is against it. Dr. Kara Leben, we have to have you back because honestly, I could talk to you for hours about all this. Get my number. Call me. Seriously, there is so much to talk about, so much to fight for here. I believe this is the frontier of our entire century, honestly. And Dr. Lieberman, you're right on the cusp of it. Thank you so much for all of your hard work here and thanks for being on with me today.
- [40:22]
Dr. Carol Lieberman
Thank you.
- [40:23]
Dr. Gina
All right, coming up, it's not just RFK Jr. Taking heat from the left now. They're coming after his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. From late night jabs to daytime drama, you knew old friends on the View would lose their loyalty fast and go right for her jugular. We're going to show you what sparked the backlash next on American Sunrise.

Tracy Anthony
Welcome back to American Sunrise. It is time to stay awake, not woke. And who is awake today? Cheryl Hines, who went on the View to defend her husband, RFK Jr. Against hostile attacks by co hosts who question his qualifications. She pushed back hard when one of the hosts claimed he was the least qualified HHS secretary in history, asking, how is he less qualified than an economist? Hines emphasized his years of fighting toxins, advocacy for alternative medical thinking, and committed support for dissident perspectives. She challenged the co hosts on vaccine rhetoric and demanded they let her finish her thoughts, refusing to be intimidated. This confrontation exposes how mainstream media tries to delegitimize President Trump's appointees by demanding agenda conformity. Take a look at that moment on the View.
- [42:57]
Terrence Bates
You know, he's not a doctor and he's not a professional.
- [43:00]
Brian Glenn
Yes.
- [43:01]
Terrence Bates
And oftentimes when he's talking, oftentimes when he's speaking, he is speaking not with.
- [43:11]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
The best information that we can get.
- [43:13]
Dr. Gina
Because, you know, yeah, we could do.
- [43:15]
Terrence Bates
A lot better with health stuff.
- [43:18]
Dr. Gina
And there's a lot of stuff he can do.
- [43:20]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
And some of the things he suggested.
- [43:24]
Dr. Gina
Take it out of the hands of.
- [43:25]
Terrence Bates
My doctor and me and my OB GYN and me.
- [43:30]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
And I wonder, does it give you pause?
- [43:34]
Terrence Bates
And are you able to say, you know, that might not actually be so?
- [43:39]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Because I've got my experience and I've lived with this and I'm still here. So are you able to have those conversations with her?
- [43:47]
Dr. Gina
I am able to have those conversations. And just to be clear, 90% of secretaries of HHS have not been doctors, but they've had assigned three.
- [43:59]
David Brody
Yeah.
- [44:00]
Dr. Gina
No, to be honest, one of Obama's secretaries of HHS was an economist. The majority of them that haven't had.
- [44:10]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Medical backgrounds have science backgrounds.
- [44:12]
Terrence Bates
Wait, don't do anything else.
- [44:14]
Dr. Gina
Don't say anything else yet.
- [44:15]
Dr. Carol Lieberman
Cause you have to take a break.
- [44:16]
Tracy Anthony

In the beginning, God created the heaven.
- [47:09]
Tracy Anthony
All right, welcome back to American Sunrise. It is time now for our moments of faith brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible. In focus today, is President Trump going to heaven? He's been talking about this a lot lately, but lately he doesn't seem to think so. Here's what he told Fox News reporter Pierre Ducey.
- [47:26]
Shane Harrah
You had talked a couple weeks ago.
- [47:27]
Brian Glenn
You were doing an interview and you.
- [47:28]
Shane Harrah
Talked about how you hope to end.
- [47:29]
Congressman Mark Harris
The war in Ukraine because it might.
- [47:31]
Brian Glenn
Help you get into heaven.
- [47:34]
Congressman Mark Harris
How does this help? Does this help?
- [47:36]
Brian Glenn
I mean, you know, I'm being a little cute. I don't think there's anything going to get me in heaven. Okay. I really don't. I think. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly an Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make him.
- [47:52]
Tracy Anthony
Let's welcome to American Sunrise. Jonathan Shuttlesworth. Want to get your thoughts on this? You know, the president was being a little cute there, but, you know, I think there's room for everyone in the kingdom of heaven. I think everyone has a spot there, there.
- [48:06]
Congressman Mark Harris
Anybody else would be unsure about their eternity. The Bible has a verse in it. These Things are written that you may know that you have life eternal. And what you said is true. God. God is willing that none should perish, but that all men would come to repentance. That's what the Bible says. So I did. I was sad to hear him say that on one hand. Then the more I thought about it, I thought about how in his first term, he just said, like, basically he did. He was a good guy. So to be humble, like that is a step to go into heaven. But I hope somebody has a talk with him that's close to him.
- [48:41]
Tracy Anthony
Yeah, that was my reaction as well. I thought it was actually really humble. I mean, I was watching a video last night of him golfing with his granddaughter Kai, talking very casually, saying, yeah, I've ended seven wars. And it's like he's done so much good and he should have a lot of pride in what he has done. And the humility really shines through in that interaction that he had on Air Force One.
- [48:59]
Congressman Mark Harris
Yes. And I'm hoping that's all it was. I know Paula White has prayed with him and explained the gospel to him. And I know Franklin Graham. I'm sure Franklin Graham is gonna probably call them right after he heard that and set everything straight. So I'm hoping President Trump will be in heaven.
- [49:16]
Tracy Anthony
You know, Jonathan, this isn't the first time that he has brought this up. He's been talking about heaven, you know, quite a bit here lately in these gaggles with reporters. Why do you think this is at the forefront of his mom mind?
- [49:26]
Congressman Mark Harris
Because he's 78.
- [49:28]
Tracy Anthony
That's it. Just that. Just, just the answer.
- [49:31]
Congressman Mark Harris
I think when people, you know, as a pastor, when, when people get older, they start thinking about eternity because you are an eternal being. But when you die, your life's not over. It's where you're going to spend eternity. There really is a heaven. There really is a hell. Every person's going to spend their eternity in one of those two places. And people, as they get older, feel that on the inside of them. And I hope any viewers on Real America's Voice, if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you're literally one prayer away from securing your eternal destiny. And I, unlike the President there, I hope no viewers have any doubts that God loves you, that Jesus died for you and you can receive him today.
- [50:10]
Tracy Anthony
Well said. Well said. So I think everyone, I'm thinking now, am I going to get into heaven? Like I said, I think there's room for everyone. If you pray, if you live a good life. Live by the Bible's teachings, live by Jesus teachings. But what do you think is the blueprint? Right? What is the things that you need to do in this world, in your life to secure your place in heaven?
- [50:29]
Congressman Mark Harris
Like you said, well, I'll plagiarize. Billy Graham, ABC Accept that you're a sinner. Believe and repent of your sin. Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and confess him as Lord and Savior if you will. Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, Lord. The Bible doesn't say you might be saved. It says you will be saved. And so that's not the Catholic way, that's not the Protestant way. That's Romans, chapter 10. And it works for everybody, no matter who they are or what they've done. No one watching has committed a sin that the blood of Jesus won't forgive.
- [51:05]
Tracy Anthony
Forgiveness is so beautiful. Jonathan, I'm so happy that you said that. I always love chatting with you. Thanks for being with us this morning.
- [51:11]
Congressman Mark Harris
Have a great day.
- [51:12]
Tracy Anthony
You too. We'll be back with the second hour of American Sunrise in two minutes. Make sure to stick around.

David Brody
Coming up on the second hour of American Sunrise. President Trump joined FBI Director Cash Patel for a special press event on Wednesday to tout the administration's latest crackdown on crime. The FBI director said more than 8,700 people accused of violent crimes have been arrested, blowing Biden's numbers away. Those details ahead. Plus more details emerging about the collusion between Democrats and Congress and how the Biden administration weaponized the Department of Justice against President Trump in moments. How January 6Investigators seized 30 million lines of phone records to hunt Trump allies. And later, House Speaker Mike Johnson says he's leading a global movement to nominate President Trump for next year's Nobel Peace Prize. This comes as the president moves forward with his ambitious peace plan for Israel and the Middle east as a whole. Those stories and more on a Thursday, second hour of American Sunrise, starting right, right now. Good morning, America.
- [53:35]
Dr. Gina
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.
- [53:41]
Terrence Bates
Politics.
- [53:41]
David Brody
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.
- [53:45]
Terrence Bates
We've got you covered.
- [53:47]
David Brody
This is what it looks like to be a patriot.
- [53:50]
Terrence Bates
We have to protect the American family.
- [53:52]
Dr. Gina
The American dream is still alive.
- [53:55]
Brian Glenn
David.
- [53:56]
David Brody
I'm David Brody.
- [53:57]
Terrence Bates
I'm terrence.
- [53:58]
Dr. Gina
And I'm Dr. Gina.
- [54:03]
David Brody
Welcome back, everybody, to second hour of American Sunrise. I'm David Brody coming to you from D.C. let's bring in Dr. G. And Wes Palm T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning to you guys. Feeling like a broken record. Shut down. Shut down. I mean, oh, gosh, it's just gonna go on. Gina. We're really feeling like a broken record and it's all their fault, so to speak.
- [54:23]
Dr. Gina
Yeah, I don't know. I think I'm in such a minority here that I just want this shutdown to do one thing, and that is expose all of the unnecessary bloated bureaucracy so that President Trump can get his broom and sweep him away. I'm sorry. I just, I'm so tired of a federal government that is so big and bloated and controlling and corrupt. I'm just ready to see it all go. And I'm like, on that brink where I'm sort of feeling almost impatient. I'm like, all right, we can see. We've lived, what, 16 days now with no federal government and Joe on the street doesn't have any clue what's even happening. Why do there are so many good private sector jobs for people who can work and live a good life and not be dependent on the federal bureaucracy? I'm not saying there's no place for feds, but look, our Constitution outlined. It's like roads and bridges and our common defense. That's pretty much it. And a lot of these departments don't fit.
- [55:24]
Terrence Bates
T. Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. It's a big story. In fact, President Trump's plan for mass layoffs during this ongoing government shutdown taking a bit of a hit this morning after a federal judge in California ordered the administration to stop the firings while she considers claims from unions representing those foundations, federal workers the unions argue the firings are illegal. Two unions specifically representing employees at more than 30 federal agencies are challenging the Trump firings. Wednesday's ruling comes on the heels of White House Budget Director Russ Vogt saying more than 10,000 federal workers could ultimately lose their jobs as a result of this current shutdown.
- [56:03]
Brian Glenn
One of the things we want to.
- [56:04]
Congressman Mark Harris
Do is if there are policy opportunities.
- [56:07]
Brian Glenn
To downsize the, the scope of the federal government, we want to use those opportunities. And if I can't do things because you can't do everything you would normally.
- [56:15]
Congressman Mark Harris
Do in a shutdown.
- [56:16]
Brian Glenn
Right.
- [56:17]
Congressman Mark Harris
It has to be generally related to.
- [56:18]
Brian Glenn
Life and protecting property.
- [56:21]
Congressman Mark Harris
And if I can only work on saving money, then I'm going to do everything I can to look for opportunities.
- [56:28]
Brian Glenn
To downsize in areas where this administration.
- [56:32]
David Brody
Has thought this is, this is our.
- [56:34]
Brian Glenn
Way towards a balanced budget. And I think you've seen some of that in the president's messaging.
- [56:41]
Terrence Bates
Apart from trying to trim the size of the federal government, President Trump continues to focus his attention on public safety.
- [56:47]
Brian Glenn
When can withstand your local partners the FBI arrested?
- [56:52]
Terrence Bates
All right, that was the president. We're going to get to that momentarily. But on Wednesday, he and FBI Director Cash Patel released the results of what's called Operation Summer Heat, which is the bureau's nationwide crackdown from this past summer.
- [57:04]
Brian Glenn
Working with state and local partners, the FBI arrested over 8,000 violent criminals during.
- [57:10]
Congressman Mark Harris
The course of this period.
- [57:12]
Brian Glenn
In major cities like in New Orleans, Nashville, we saw a 250% increase in arrests we got, and we really went after the bad ones. These include 725 individuals wanted for violent crimes against children and murderers.
- [57:32]
Terrence Bates
And the operation reportedly resulted in more than 2200 firearms being seized, along with 421 kilograms of fentanyl. FBI Director Kash Patel says that's enough fentanyl to kill 55 million Americans. 45,000 kilos of cocaine was also seized. Hundreds of people in coastal villages in the last are being airlifted to safety after Typhoon Ha long ravaged parts of that state over the weekend. Wednesday's airlifts are being called one of the most significant in Alaska's history.
- [58:05]
Brian Glenn
Wow.
- [58:05]
Terrence Bates
At last check, two people were missing. At least one person dead. Immediately following the storm, about 1,500 people flocked to makeshift shelters for safety. Many of the affected communities are sparsely populated and only reachable by air or boat. These are some of the people who are just piped into a huge plane on their way out of that region. First responders say the remoteness and scale of the destruction is creating challenges in terms of getting resources in place. That's a quick check of your headlines. Let's get a quick check of your forecast now with meteorologist Tracy Anthony. Tracy, obviously that story out of Alaska, quite disturbing. Just showing how weather can be majorly damaging and how it can really impact entire regions.
- [58:51]
Dr. Gina
Yeah, especially when you get into some.
- [58:52]
Tracy Anthony
Of those remote areas and they had winds up to 85 miles per hour.
- [58:58]
Dr. Gina
So even though those systems have, you know, weakened, you still get the powerful impacts as they move into areas like Alaska. So that's what's going on in the north area is a bit, little bit farther down to the south. Terence, this is the much anticipated high.
- [59:15]
Tracy Anthony
Temperature outlook because we are breaking records across the south.
- [59:19]
Dr. Gina
And I know it's mid October, but we have been feeling those temperatures in the 90s for this area for the last several weeks.
- [59:27]
Tracy Anthony
It's just been well above average.
- [59:28]
Dr. Gina
So that's going to be changing as.
- [59:30]
Tracy Anthony
A cold front works on through. So we've got some cooler spots across the nation.
- [59:34]
Dr. Gina
But it's this storm system that we're really going to track not just throughout.
- [59:38]
Tracy Anthony
The day today, but through the weekend.
- [59:40]
Dr. Gina
And even into early next week. So we're going to be talking about this low that's going to spark off some severe weather across the plains over the next couple of days. So, Terence, that's kind of the big.
- [59:49]
Tracy Anthony
Headline across the lower 48.
- [59:52]
Terrence Bates
All right, so my takeaway, head south because it's warm there. Thanks so much, Tracy.
- [59:56]
Dr. Gina
Exactly.
- [59:58]
Terrence Bates
All right, let's get you over to David Brody now. David, good morning.
- [60:02]
David Brody
Good morning, T. Bates. Obviously we're following a lot of stories today, including those new revelations from FBI Director Cash Patel yesterday. We're gonna have more on that in a moment. Joining us now is the editor in chief for just the news. That would be John Solomon. John, good morning to you. You know, speaking of Cash, you and Amanda Head spoke to the FBI director. We're going to discuss that in a moment. I understand, though, you literally just sat down with the speaker of the House, Mike Johnson as well. Tell us more about that. Good morning, John. Good morning.
- [60:30]
John Solomon
Yeah, good morning. Great to be with you. Yeah, we have a great excuse of interview with the speaker tonight. Here are some headlines for you that I think will be worth tuning in for. One, he does not intend to yield at all to the Democrats. He said the only thing on the table will only be a clean cr. He will not capitulate. He will not make an offer. It's on them to come to the table. He ripped them for their constant insensitivity to military people saying that they didn't vote for the pay raise in the end. Ndaa, when the House voted for that, they now voted nine times to keep the government shut down, which means that at some point the troops will stop getting their checks, even though President Trump made sure they got their October check with some budget sleight of hand. And he had some pretty big pronouncements about areas of abuse that we've been dealing with. He said it's time to tighten up the tax code so that these nonprofits, like what the Clinton foundation was able to do or what some of the nonprofits that were fomenting anti Semitism hatred, anarchy in America. It's time to have some tax reform and change the law so that groups aren't spending tax free dollars on things that are harmful to America. And he reacted to our big scoop yesterday. That is a Scoop that the January Six Committee told the FBI it had gathered 30 million lines of phone data. 30 million lines of phone data. Remember, only there was only 1,000 defendants total in all those cases. And he said it's, it's become too easy for the government to snoop on Americans private conversations. It's time to restore civil liberties. And he expects some significant reforms on that. So reforming the tax code to stop tax abuses, reforming the civil liberty protections so that our Fourth Amendment is pronounced again. And we don't have people rifling through our phone records whenever they darn feel like it. Those are just a few of the headlines. A very substantive, wide ranging interview.
- [62:24]
Brian Glenn
Hmm.
- [62:26]
David Brody
Wow.
- [62:26]
Terrence Bates
It sounds like it's interesting. I'm looking forward to hearing the entire thing. I did get a chance to listen to the interview you and Amanda had did with FBI Director Cash Patel. Here's just a little snippet of that. And then I've got a bigger question after this.
- [62:39]
John Solomon
So let's play that those who are already charged, you think you've seen other crimes that might eventually get referred to justice.
- [62:46]
Brian Glenn
Yes.
- [62:47]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
We are looking at so many different leads on criminal activity by those who.
- [62:52]
David Brody
Are in positions of power.
- [62:54]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
And we're not going to stop until every single one of those is fully exposed. The documents are provided either to Congress.
- [63:00]
Brian Glenn
Or the courts of law and make every referral we can under the Department of Justice.
- [63:04]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
These indictments that you've seen and the ones that you're going to see coming up here in this near future are just the beginning. But I have to remind the audience one thing. Everybody's like, it's seven months. What have you guys been Doing well. They spent 20 years building this disease temple of corruption.
- [63:16]
Brian Glenn
It takes a little bit of time.
- [63:18]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
To, to defeat it and beat it down.
- [63:20]
Brian Glenn
I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm asking you to look at the.
- [63:22]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Work the men and women of the.
- [63:23]
David Brody
FBI have done so far in these.
- [63:24]
iHeart Advertising Announcer
Seven, eight months and just imagine what we're going to do come the year end.
- [63:31]
Terrence Bates
So, John, that obviously that story has legs to it, but there's so many headlines coming out of the White House these days. I can think of, and this is just off the top of my head, the CIA operations within Venezuela, that's huge. Obviously, the phase two of Israel, Hamas, that's another one. Operation, the Summer operation, Operation Summer Heat. Those are just off the top of my mind. What story in your mind has the most legs coming out of the White House this morning?
- [64:00]
John Solomon
Well, listen, I think the war against crime in blue cities is having a profound effect. The statistics that Cash Patel talked about on the show last night, unveiled on those charts with President Trump yesterday, are really historic. And the way they were achieved, and we talked to Cash about this last night, was there was a strategy to how they went about doing this, which is they knew if they could take the top kingpins of the gangs and the drug runners and the human traffickers and you hit the top of the organizations quickly, you cripple the downstream crime that occurs from those organizations. And so they went into these cities. Cash revealed they were in Chicago much earlier than we knew. It was kind of quiet secret. They swooped in, but they took the heads of the snakes out sort of strategy. And that had a much more profound, quicker impact on crime than just trying to go every guy on the street with a gun. And so they crippled some of these organizations at the top very quickly. And I think that that doesn't get enough recognition, the strategic look that they did it. But cities are a lot safer. I just came in today, I walked by a couple of Guard troops and I was thanking them for their service. And other people came by and said thanks for making us safe again. And I just thought it was really funny walking into the studio to see that happen. People are realizing that Democrats unleashed an unnecessary crime wave and they're beginning to feel like President Trump, President Trump has put that crime back in a can. And I think that might be the story that becomes a very important driver of the 26 election. People are going to feel safer in 26, and they're going to credit only one guy now on the forefront. I think the thing to watch for is can Donald Trump keep the Hamas deal going? Don't let Hamas off the hook. Don't let them. And then see, take the momentum from that and get a deal with Iran or get a deal with Russia. Remember, Zelensky is coming in tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what comes out of that meeting.
- [65:48]
Dr. Gina
Absolutely. John. John, I'm going to pull a T card here and I'm going to ask you a two part question. The first one's really simple. Do you know who the person was who President Trump named that? Somebody he knows, A billionaire. Offered to pay the salaries of the military if the government wasn't going to. Do you know who that person was?
- [66:07]
John Solomon
I don't. We are trying to find out. I can't wait to find out. What great benefactor. What great benefactor would do that? It shows you what an extraordinary country we have.
- [66:15]
Dr. Gina
It does. It does.
- [66:17]
Tracy Anthony
Yeah.
- [66:18]
John Solomon
Patriotic again.
- [66:19]
Dr. Gina
When you find out, I want to text if you're not coming on the show that day because I really want to know. And then secondly, John, I'm just, I'm looking at this shutdown which is affecting essentially nobody. And these bureaucracies need to be cut. They are not constitutional. You have organizations like, like the DOE that just need to go, but you have organizations like the IRS that need, something needs to happen there. You have the TSA extremely corrupt, doesn't even catch most of the stuff that comes through. When you look at the actual raw data of what they catch and don't catch, you know, they could privatize that. John, talk to us. This shutdown, is it going to result in the kinds of changes that we need to actually root out the deep state and reform our federal government?
- [67:10]
John Solomon
I think so. Listen, the, the first thing you have to do is create a deterrent. Even if you shrink government, that someone isn't tempted to do what happened during Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment and Jack Smith's era, those are very important deterrents. You have to put people in prison and that's why that quote that you paid from cash is so important. You got to punish the bad one behavior. So no one's opting to do it in the meantime. I thought President Drop Trump dropped a big hint during the middle of that press conference yesterday when he said the Democrats don't like Russ vote very much now and they're going to like him a lot less sooner soon. I think Russ Vote is about to make another round of giant cuts and cuts that will be hard to reverse if the Democrats ever reopen the government. This is a once In a lifetime opportunity for the Trump administration to show that not nonessential means not needed at all. And I think if they do that, all the non essential workers at home right now, we're not suffering that greatly. Maybe we never needed them. And I think President Trump is working on something to really take a bite out of the government, maybe 10 or 20% of the workforce, which would be historic. Meanwhile, you know, you take your eye off the ball for a while because we're so busy. And Terrence says all the things are going on. Doge is up to $212 billion of savings, just canceling unnecessary grants and contracts.
- [68:23]
Brian Glenn
Think about that.
- [68:24]
John Solomon
212 billion in one year, unnecessary grants. Get rid of some unnecessary workers. You're starting to make some important savings.
- [68:32]
David Brody
Well, the most essential employee out there, John Solomon, thank you for being.
- [68:37]
Dr. Gina
That is true.
- [68:38]
John Solomon
Love you guys.
- [68:40]
Terrence Bates
John, appreciate you, John.
- [68:41]
David Brody
The checks in the mail, John, thank you. All right, coming up, President Trump's crime crackdown making waves in Chicago. Federal agents there now following weeks of unrest. We're gonna have the latest when we come back. Everybody.

Tracy Anthony
Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn. We're following the unrest in Chicago as federal agents attempt to restore law and order in the crime ridden city. Earlier this week, federal immigration agents were forced to use tear gas after a crowd turned hostile during an immigration chase. It was one of many violent incidents to erupt in Chicago in recent days. Days, federal agents and Border Patrol have been moving through the city arresting foreign criminals and illegal immigrants as part of President Trump's push to turn blue cities into safe cities. For more, let's bring in real America's Voice correspondent Ben Berkwam, who was there on the ground. Ben, give us a little bit of details about what you've been seeing and what you've been hearing there in Illinois.
- [70:55]
David Brody
Well, Emily, it's great to be back with you. I was actually on a ride along yesterday. Started at 5 in the morning and went pretty much all day. You know what's amazing about this is all of these sanctuary policies. So you have this fight going on in Illinois and all of these blue states, these sanctuary states and sanctuary jurisdictions where you have governors and mayors that are trying to block ICE from doing their job and removing illegal aliens from our country. What's amazing yesterday, and we're gonna start releasing some of that footage today is now because of those very policies that don't allow ICE to go into the jails. And you can see the Broadview ICE facility behind me. There's. That's the one that's been under so much controversy. You have protests and riots out here almost every day because of the sanctuary policies. Now ICE is, they've changed their tactics somewhat. They're basically doing an all approach. So you have the targeted enforcement for the criminal illegal aliens, the really bad guys that Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson are letting out of the jails. But you also have the targeted approach. We're doing vehicle stops, targeted vehicle stops. Yesterday we got 10 illegal aliens in just a couple hours just on the op that I was on. So the ICE is not slowing down. They're not stopping. You've got border patrol here assisting as well. You've got all the agencies working together. And the only people that are trying to stop it are the traitors in our own government like Governor Pritzker, like Mayor Johnson and these blue states. But ironically, their very policies of sanctuary jurisdictions are actually forcing ICE to go more into the communities to go get these guys. So it's almost a self fulfilling prophecy by the left to force ICE into these communities. So you want to blame anyone for ICE being in the neighborhoods, Blame Governor Pritzker, blame Mayor Johnson.
- [72:35]
Tracy Anthony
Well said, Ben. I mean, I think trader is the perfect word for J.B. pritzker. It's been so disappointing to see the lack of cooperation with the federal government's efforts here. You know, Ben, I do want to ask you about this too. I understand that you're going to be at the Marine250 event this weekend. Tell us more about that before we let you go.
- [72:49]
Dr. Carol Lieberman
Go?
- [72:51]
David Brody
Yeah. You know, while all these no Kings events are going on across our country, we get to go and celebrate our Marines. I couldn't think of a better place to be on Saturday. While the left is losing their mind with their blue hair screaming, we're going to be out there honoring the men and women who sacrificed their lives for this nation for over 250 years. And I couldn't be more honored to be there. It'll be all day long. We're going to have special coverage all day on Real America's Voice news. I'll be there. Amanda Head, it's going to be a great day. Obviously, Steve Bannon is going to be anchoring it from the seat. It's going to be an amazing, amazing day honoring the best of the best in America.
- [73:26]
Tracy Anthony
Certainly looking forward to that coverage. Ben Berkhorn, thank you so much for joining us this morning.
- [73:31]
David Brody
My pleasure. Thank you.

Freestyle off the top of the dome. T. Bates and I wish I was home. Okay, that's about as much as you're gonna get from me because that's the only thing that I could think that would rhyme. Covington, Kentucky, Good morning. This bridge, I believe, spans the Ohio river, if I'm not mistaken. And that would be Cincinnati on the other side. Anyway, we're gonna get ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It's set to ring here in just a minute. Pre market trading. Looking pretty good. As you can see. Our board is in the green top. Top to bottom again, we'll take it to New York for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange here in short order. But now let's get you over to David Brody. David, I hope you were impressed with my Top of the Dome freestyle. I'm sorry, but I was just inspired. That music just inspired me.
- [75:48]
David Brody
You're just a man of many talents. Rapping. Rapping on a Thursday. Oh, there it is.
- [75:54]
Terrence Bates
Okay, David, it's your turn. Come on, David.
- [75:56]
David Brody
No, I'm not doing any freestyle. I might do some homestyle waffles, but I'm not doing freestyle rapping. All right, sir. Oh, my gosh. Please. Thank you. Thank you. All right, Time now for our daily dose of dollars and common cents. That means we're bringing in American Sunrise Early Edition host and rapper here on the show. He's also the guy behind Jake's take substacks, Jake Novak. Jake, you do rap for a living, correct? I mean, you rap 7am to 8am every morning?
- [76:23]
Shane Harrah
I do. Although I really did prefer singing my version of the Brady Bunch yesterday. I called it the Shady Bunch as I sang about Letitia James and her roommates and the. And the very happy home they were building together. So, the Shady Bunch. I'm more of a singer than a rapper. I'm the. I'm the singer who's, like, featured on the rapper's album, you know, featuring Jake Novak, the singer.
- [76:41]
Terrence Bates
That's.
- [76:42]
Brian Glenn
That's me.
- [76:42]
David Brody
Oh, that's beautiful. You really do need to get down to the trademark office on that for sure. Or whatever office it is. I don't know. I get confused. All right, this rare earth thing we keep hearing about, it we discussed a little bit yesterday. Can you break this down for us? It's easy to understand for folks. Folks, China, United States. Help us out. Take us through it.
- [77:00]
Terrence Bates
Yeah.
- [77:00]
Shane Harrah
You know, how do we get into this mess, David? How do we get to a point where these really, really essential metals and minerals, we don't mine enough of them here in this country? Well, Scott Bessen, our Treasury secretary, did a great job of explaining it and telling the hard truth to America yesterday in an interview. This was China's fault. It's not just that China mines it and we don't. We mined it and refined it plenty in this country not that long ago. But what happened? Chinese companies came to American tech companies and auto companies and said, hey, we'll do it a lot cheaper than those American refiners and miners do it. Well, they underpriced. And how did they do that? The Chinese government subsidized the Companies in China doing it so they could eat. They undercut us. They dumped. They dumped a good or a service and they killed an industry. And I'm tired of these libertarian types, and I'm mostly a libertarian myself, but I'm tired of the Rand Paul types and everyone else saying like, we can't get involved in the. This was a foreign act of economic war on this country and it's left us in a scary position. If we don't have enough rare earths, we're going to have some serious problems in this country. So Scott Bessen explained it. It was an act of war. These Chinese companies dumped a low cost service and refining and mining of rare earths. They drove our businesses out of business. And now we're in a position where we don't get enough of this stuff and we have to make up for it real quick. That's what's going on here. You can call it government intervention all you want, but we're going to be conquered by foreign countries pretty quickly if we don't get up to speed on this.
- [78:24]
David Brody
No, that's a great point. All right. So Jake, like you, I've been losing sleep lately worrying about all those millionaire bankers on Wall Street. Oh, I just feel for them. So are the big banks doing okay, by the way? I mean, should we send them, I don't know, a cheese assortment, maybe a new McLaren sports car, something like that?
- [78:41]
Shane Harrah
Yeah, I mean, David, I was really worried about some of my Wall street friends and whether they were going to have to sell one of their three boats. I was scared and sad. But no, actually, their earnings have been outrageously high all week. This has been earnings week for the big banks. The Goldman, Sachs, Merrill, sorry, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, they're Bank of America. They're all doing great. Now, there's two reasons for this. One is the biggest reason is the Fed's cutting rates. That means the banks get to borrow money at a lower rate than they lend it out to us. It's the vig. It's like the old mob. Okay, great. Second, also, investment banking is doing better. A lot more mergers and acquisitions. I'm investing in suspenders and hair gel, by the way, because we're going to go back to the Wall street days of the 80s. So those two combination of things, if you've been worried about your friends who are multimillionaires, about whether they might have to sell one of their homes or boats or planes, don't worry about it. They're doing great.
- [79:32]
David Brody
All right. Wall street, starring Michael Douglas and Jake Novak. Got it. You are the Wolf of Wall Street. No, you're not. No, you're not. Sorry. I don't want to go there. All right, Jake.
- [79:41]
Brian Glenn
Oh, I got.
- [79:42]
David Brody
Look at that clock. I got like 20 seconds. 25 seconds. Ford not doing okay. What's going on there?
- [79:47]
Shane Harrah
No, they're not doing okay. This aluminum fire that we talked about a couple of weeks ago is now holding up production on five Ford models, including the Lincoln Navigator and the Expedition. I don't know how long this is going to hold it up, but this is very bad news for Ford. Going to keep an eye on this. This is no small fire. And it's going to cost them a lot more than a billion dollars. That was the estimate last week. Sorry. It's going to be worse than that.
- [80:08]
Terrence Bates
Wow.
- [80:08]
David Brody
21 seconds. You did that in 21 seconds. That's impressive. Jake Novak, Great to have you. Sir.
- [80:12]

No tie Friday, by the way, so just relax for tomorrow. You know, you're always relaxed, but you know what I'm saying, like, ultra relaxed. All right, enough of the babbling. Time for T. Bates in Denver. Opening bell sponsored by amac, the association.

We're less than a minute away from the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. You're going to hear the applause momentarily. And then we'll hear the bell and the markets will officially be open for this Thursday of trading. Pre market trading was looking pretty good. We showed you the big board about seven minutes ago or so and it was green top to bottom. Hopefully it stays that way as we get into this day of trading that's promised. There you have the applause. It looks like that's the Susan G. Coleman foundation at the podium this morning. They, of course, fight for more research funding and raise money for research when it comes to breast cancer. One of the biggest breast cancer research companies or organizations, excuse me, in the country. Shout out to the Susan G. Cohen foundation there. All right, you hear the bell, which means the markets are officially open right now and there's only one blemish on the board. Everything else looking good. The S&P 500, the Dow Jones as well as the NASDAQ are all in the green. Up slightly, but still up to start this morning of trading. We, of course, will continue to monitor all of this for you throughout the day. In the meantime, you can buy gold and get free silver. That's right. For every $5,000 purchased from the Birch Gold Group this month in advance of Veterans Day, they're going to send you this right here. This is a free patriotic silver round that commemorates the Gadsden and the American flags. Look, gold is up over 40% these days, particularly since the beginning of this year. And the Birch Gold Group can help you own it by converting an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold. Plus, they'll send you free silver honoring our veterans on qualifying purchases. If you're current or a former military military. Birchgold has a special offer just for you. They're waiving custodial fees for the first year on investments of any amount with an A rating. With the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of satisfied customers, many of them right here on rav, we really encourage you to diversify your savings into gold. You can do so, or at least start the process by texting the word America to the number 9,898 98. You'll get a free information kit and you can claim your eligibility for free silver with qualifying purchases before the end of this month. Again, text the word America to the number 989898 today and you can also qualify to get yourself a silver round like the one I just showed you. Here it is right here, ladies and gentlemen. Still to come here on American Sunrise, President Trump could nab a Nobel Peace Peace Prize after all. That's if House Speaker Mike Johnson has anything to do with it. He's launching a global effort to get the nomination done. We'll have the full story right after the break.

Dr. Gina
All right. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. Chi. Thanks for joining us this morning. We invite you to hop in our conversation on getter and rumble. It is time now to take the political pulse of America. The beat today, House Speaker Mike Johnson launching a global campaign to nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Johnson says he's partnering with his counterpart in Israel to rally leaders around the world to support the nomination, calling on Trump's. Calling in Trump's role in brokering the ceasefire. He called it an objective fact that deserves recognition. The announcement came during his daily shutdown press conference, now entering day 14. I thought it was 16, but maybe I'm off anyway. Johnson, who's counting? Right where Johnson praised Trump's leadership in helping to bring hostages home and move the region toward peace. President Trump, who was in Egypt for the signing ceremony on Monday, has drawn praise from both sides of the aisle for his involvement in the this historic agreement. Of course, here was House Speaker Johnson on Tuesday.
- [86:01]
Shane Harrah
I'm going to make an announcement today. It's the announcement in the US that.

Parliaments around the world world, so that.
- [86:23]
David Brody
We will jointly nominate President Donald J. Trump for next year's Nobel Peace Prize. No one has ever deserved that prize more.
- [86:31]
Brian Glenn
And that is an objective fact.
- [86:33]
Shane Harrah
As Speaker Ohana said before the Knesset.
- [86:35]
David Brody
Yesterday, quote, whoever saves one life, it is though he has saved an entire world. That's what some of the rabbis there would say. Some of the sages, he noted, would.
- [86:47]
Congressman Mark Harris
Suggest it's an indisputable fact that no.
- [86:50]
David Brody
President has undertaken the work of saving lives and pursuing peace with such determination.
- [86:55]
Shane Harrah
And with such remarkable success as President Trump.
- [87:00]
Dr. Gina
All right, for more, let's bring in David Brody and Terrance Bates. Also joining us for reaction, the host of AVL Live and the host of the Steve Gruber Show. That would be Steve Gruber. Steve, you know what? The scripture comes to mind. Casting pearls before swine. I just think, why are we giving the Nobel Peace Prize all of this power? Let's come up with our own parallel economy. I know it's not an economy, but you get the point. You know, President Trump will be awarded the U.S. american Medal for Freedom someday. So, I mean, I think, you know, the next president, if it's a Republican and I think it could very well be. I don't know, Steve. I just don't. I don't like giving this Nobel Peace Prize any more attention. Listen, let's marginalize it.
- [87:50]
Brian Glenn
You know, I don't think you're wrong about that. They've marginalized themselves.
- [87:53]
Dr. Gina
Yeah.
- [87:53]
Brian Glenn
You know, when it comes to science or mathematics. Okay, maybe it's still relevant. The Nobel Peace Prize has become irrelevant in recent years. Now, I give credit to the woman from Venezuela who won the Nobel Peace Prize and says this really belongs to Donald Trump. She recognized him, right? She knew. Yeah. And it was cool. It was the proper thing to do. If the Nobel Committee could do the proper thing, we'd be in better shape. Now, having said that, in fairness, we got to give him one more round because the nominations are supposed to be in by January 31st. All right, so the wars had not stopped by January 31st. Donald Trump had been in office 11 days. But if he is again ignored or snubbed or whatever you want to call it next year, then it has no relevance. It has no value. It's a meaningless award to anybody that gets it from that point forward. It just means that it's controlled by. It just means that it is controlled by politics and nothing more. And that is simply the fact. Controlled by politics. And so, look, I don't want to put too much relevance. Here's what I know. Donald Trump has stopped eight wars on the planet in Africa, Asia, the Middle East. Some of those wars were going on for 40 years. Donald Trump has closed my border and made it secure, more secure than any time in my lifetime. Donald Trump has gone into Washington, D.C. and made it secure. 13 homicides since the 11th of August. It's mid October. Think about that. That's never happened in your lifetime or mine. More people are alive today because of Donald Trump. Human trafficking being stopped, children being found and discovered. And some of these ICE raids are being returned and rescued from child trafficking and sex trafficking. I mean, the things that have been accomplished so far cannot be overlooked. And so the Nobel Peace Prize is. It's a nice little trinket for your. For your wall. But compared to the other things that he's accomplished, is it really a big deal? I don't think so.
- [89:34]
David Brody
Yeah. And Steve, here's another thing he's doing. I call it a thing. Oh, by the way, he's blowing up boats in Venezuela, off the coast of Venezuela.
- [89:43]
Brian Glenn
Don't drive a drunk, Bo.
- [89:45]
Congressman Mark Harris
Well, right.
- [89:46]
David Brody
I thought it was funny yesterday. He said, you might want to be careful if you're fishing off the coast of Venezuela. He said that yesterday. I thought that was, you know, it's typical Trump. So the CIA portion of this, real quick, the CIA portion of this, though, covert operations, the CIA in Venezuela literally. Be interesting to see what they do with Maduro ground, potential invasions, that type of thing. But the truth of the matter is, it's legal. He can do it. If he's got a presidential finding, he can send the CIA into another country.
- [90:18]
Brian Glenn
Well, look, the fact of the matter is you've got these narco terrorist operations that have been designated terrorist organizations, as they should be. If 100,000Americans die at the hands of a foreign entity, or combined foreign entities, which they do every year, fentanyl is only part of the death toll. You know, you've got all the other drugs that come in as well. So you got 100,000Americans that die at the hands of these foreign entities, whether they're in Mexico or Venezuela or Bolivia, it doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is that is an act of war. I don't know how you would define it. I mean, if 100,000Americans die at the hands of a foreign entity, that's an act of war. And you have every right to defend this country against narcotics, against incursions of military people, against terrorist actions. This is what we are allowed to do. The number one responsibility of any government, local, state or federal is to protect its citizens. That is job one, period. And if Donald Trump can protect 100,000Americans from dying from drug overdoses, be it fentanyl and everything else, he's doing his job. And if, and if Maduro doesn't see that, well, then he will. And here's the thing, you talk about the fishing boats. Yeah, it was a joke because the boats that they're vaporizing, these are high dollar speed boats. These are, these are valuable boats. These are not little, you know, fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela. These are high, high performance speedboats packed up with drugs. I mean, these drugs. Some of these boats are a million dollars, make no mistake. These are million dollar boats because they go 70 miles an hour across the open ocean, maybe faster. And so these are high performance, high powered speedboats that are really valuable. Now, does the cartel care? I don't know yet, but I'm told there are less boats running. But here's the thing, like any business, and believe it or not, running a drug cartel is a business. They bake this into the bottom line. I think, well, we're going to lose this much in transport. We're going to lose this much against confiscated, this much that sinks. You're going to see. What do they call them, White whales or whatever they call when the blocks of cocaine come drifting up on the shore, whatever the fact of the matter is they bake this in. But at some point you can't bake it in anymore if your drug runners are getting blown out of the water time and time and time again. First of all, it gets a lot harder to find somebody to drive the boat. I mean, hey, Billy, you want to go drive the boat? No, I'm good, thanks. You know, I'm good. And moving the drugs becomes a lot harder with a closed border and open seas enforcement with lethal force authorized, running drugs got a lot harder in the Western hemisphere in the last nine months. That is a certainty.
- [92:46]
Terrence Bates
President Trump obviously focusing on threats foreign, but also threats domestic in terms of the crackdown from the FBI, in terms of ICE crackdowns. Talk about how important you see these crackdowns being and more importantly, how effective you see them being.
- [93:04]
Brian Glenn
Well, look again back to the child trafficking, children being rescued. Is it always pretty? No, it's not always pretty. And look, this is the price you pay if you come into the country illegally. And I think it's a, I think it's a big swing. I don't know if it's an 80, 20 issue, but it's certainly a 70, 30 issue. People believe, believe that if you come to the United States, you come legally. I don't think there's anybody here that opposes legal immigration. Not, not under the guise now we might want to change the way we do it and limit the number of people that come in, potentially change the H1B visas, potentially. These are all conversations you can have. But coming in illegally is a big loser for the Democrats. Anybody that supports an open border is. It's a losing proposition as a political question. It is is same as allowing drug runners to continue to run drugs across the Mediterranean or the Caribbean or anywhere else for that matter. It's a losing proposition for the Democrats, which is not surprising. I think the government shutdown is a losing proposition for the Democrats. What do they stand for? Drug dealers, Child traffickers, Open borders? What is it they stand for? They hate Donald Trump. Got that part. But after that, what does the Democrat Party stand for in 2025? And who is the leader of the Democratic Party today? Is it Chuck Schumer? Is it aoc? Who is it? I don't think they have one. And so they have no messaging, they have nothing to share. They're saying, hey, Donald Trump's trying to block health care. No. The Affordable Care act is failing miserably. Obamacare is failing because it was never about affordability or care. It was, it was an insurance scheme designed to do one thing, deliver single payer health care to America. They knew it was going to fail from day one. That was by design. And here we are. And now they do what but what they always do. Blame Republicans.
- [94:42]
Dr. Gina
Yeah.
- [94:42]
Congressman Mark Harris
Yeah.
- [94:43]
Dr. Gina
Well, Steve Gruber, you know they're not going to stop blaming Republicans, but we're glad that you're here to keep them honest. Thank you so much.
- [94:50]
David Brody
Thanks.
- [94:50]
Brian Glenn
Do my best. Thanks, guys.
- [94:52]
Dr. Gina
All right. Coming up, we're checking in at the Liberty University CEO Summit, bringing together leaders in business and politics from around the world. You will not want to miss this. So stick around.

Dr. Gina
Thanks for having us.
- [97:15]
Tracy Anthony

- [97:17]
Dr. Gina
A little bit like rowdier, I think than yesterday. Yeah, everyone was getting introduced yesterday. Now it's all family. So about Bible pets, tell us about your company and what this EO Summit is doing for you.
- [97:32]
Terrence Bates
So I'm just going to take you back in time. I've had this idea for a long time and it's hard to really do anything in the faith based space. And I've had so many doors kind of slammed in my face certainly on trying to do something for young minds and being here at Liberty and meeting the students here and the faculty and.
- [98:00]
David Brody
The support that we're getting.
- [98:03]
Terrence Bates
We wanted to kind of announce to the world here at Liberty what we're doing, doing. And it's been truly a wonderful experience.
- [98:13]
David Brody
Great community and you know.
- [98:17]
Terrence Bates
I can't think of any better place to try to explain what we want to do with Bible Path.
- [98:23]
Tracy Anthony
So what is that concept? You discussed short form videos yesterday?
- [98:27]
David Brody
Yeah.
- [98:27]
Terrence Bates
So our goal is to tell short form content, you know, five to seven minute episodes. Each episode has it's a moral story, there's a great song in there. And then we end each episode with what Bible verse that episode was based on. And you know, it's all of the sons and daughters, the flood is over the sons and daughters of the two by twos. And so we, you know, foundationally, you know, we are trying to connect young people to spirit and to increase their daily practice. And I was a stuffed animal kid, so I put so much emotionality into my, into my stuffies. And you know, I feel like there's an opportunity for someone who, you know, might fall in love with one of our characters to then, you know, connect to prayer and to have a conversation in their families. And there really hasn't been any new preschool entertainment really since like Veggie Tales. Maybe families are familiar with that, but if you think about it, there hasn't been anything new that is tackling this, I don't want to say problem, but this opportunity, there really should be more content, content like this. And I'm shocked that there isn't. And we want to be the most high quality faith based content for kids.
- [99:58]
Dr. Gina
A lot of viewers that are very.
- [100:00]
Tracy Anthony
Much into their faith for this station.
- [100:02]
Dr. Gina
A lot of faith themes here at Liberty University for this conference.
- [100:06]
Tracy Anthony
What has the reaction been to some of the people and donors here?
- [100:10]
Terrence Bates
It's been actually really emotional and very satisfying, gratifying because this is really us announcing to the world you Know, if you're curious, you can go to BiblePets.com we're looking for strategic partners and we're trying to create that synergy here with Liberty. And we're getting there. It's seeming like it's happening, which warms my heart. But yeah, this is the beginning of something new for us. And hopefully some of you out there might appear, appreciate what we're doing and might want to support us. So thank you for having me and, and letting me share with what we're doing here at Liberty.

Dr. Gina
Now, in all seriousness, one of the reasons I feel so blessed every day is that I get to get up and do this show with two actual Real men. And so I just want to make that really clear that I think that.
- [105:50]
David Brody
Thank you, T. You take it from here.
- [105:52]
Terrence Bates
You guys did that? You guys both still called me a mother. Shut your mouth.
- [106:00]
Dr. Gina
When I was mad at my mom sometimes times growing up, and I'd say mother, you know, I call her Mama or Mommy when she was a good mom. But when I was mad at her, I would say, Mother. And she'd always say, don't you talk to me like that's half a word.
- [106:14]
David Brody
And so it begins. And that's where it began. Yes. Right in the beginning. I love it, by the way. That was kind of cool that Moms for Liberty. You know what? They got double.
- [106:23]
Brian Glenn
Double.
- [106:24]
David Brody
The promo is the way I see it. So good for them. And we're happy to partner alongside. And speaking about partnering alongside, we got the Marine 250 coming up, live coverage on Saturday. Huge deal for RAV. Huge deal, obviously, for the country. And it's something we're really proud of here.
- [106:39]
Dr. Gina
And I love that we're doing that opposite the. No more Kings or whatever. They're goofy things. I really wonder what the attendance is even going to be at that no Kings stuff. Are people. I don't know. Maybe people really are into that. I don't know. Know.
- [106:56]
David Brody
Well, I can tell you we'll have.
- [106:57]
Terrence Bates
More eyeballs on our Marine 250 thing. Hopefully more people will be watching that. Go ahead, David, you were saying?
- [107:03]
David Brody
I was going to say, I'm sure it's going to start after 11 or 12 because they're not getting up early for that. You know, they're sleeping in. So whatever this. We're talking politics. I know it's Sunny side, but the bottom line is Schumer doesn't. Schumer wants the no Kings rally so he can say, look at me. Look at me. Don't. Don't fire me, and don't have AOC replace me. That's what this is all.
- [107:25]
Dr. Gina
That's all it is.
- [107:26]
Congressman Mark Harris
That's all this is.
- [107:27]
Dr. Gina
Nailed it, Brody. All right, guys, well, we'll see you tomorrow. It's gonna be Freedom Friday. It's gonna be Puppy Friday. And guess what? War room with the one and only Steve Bannon is up next. I know it's gonna be good.
- [107:38]
Terrence Bates
Mother, shut your mouth.
- [107:39]
David Brody
Oh, my goodness gracious. It's a family show.
- [107:43]
Dr. Gina
Children love God. Go boldly now. Live the truth. We'll see you tomorrow.
