Ahead on American Sunrise, saying goodbye, a prayer vigil in our nation's capital after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We are going to be inside and take you to the reaction throughout the show. Plus the aftermath. Is unity really possible after the Charlie Kirk murder? What will it take? We're going to ask a GOP congressman straight ahead. And keeping the faith. What can God's word teach us about how to stay strong in dark and tragic times? Bible history guy Jim Moseley here to break it down. We're going to have those stories and more as American Sunrise starts right now. Good morning, America.

[Dr. Gina]

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

[David Brody]

Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.

[Dr. Gina]

The American dream is still alive.

[David Brody]

I'm David Brody. I'm terrence.

[Dr. Gina]

And I'm Dr. Gina. Good morning, everybody. I am Dr. Gina. We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. Let's bring in David Brody. He's in Washington, D.C. and Terrence Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, gentlemen.

[David Brody]

Hello, Gina. Hey, T. Dr. Gina and David, good morning. What a day it is. Obviously, David, we're still kind of reeling and feeling the effects of Charlie Kirk's assassination. You know, almost a week later and it still stings. David and Dr. Gina yeah.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, since Charlie's death, Turning Point has received over 32,000 inquiries to start new chapters around the country. This is almost an unbelievable amount. We all saw his beautiful widow, good friend in many of our cases. Erica, over the weekend being about as brave as I can think of a widow possibly being who's trying to carry on with two children. David, it was very heartfelt.

[David Brody]

It was unbelievable. One of the best speeches I've ever seen. Honestly, from start to finish, everybody talks about next man up. No, no, no. Next woman up. Next woman up, T base. And we're going to show you, you know, her courage and how she handled that momentarily. Also, in case you happen to miss it, there was a prayer vigil last night over at the Kennedy center. Vice President J.D. vance also will be hosting. Charlie Kirk's show today. Speaker Mike Johnson, though, was among the others who spoke at the prayer vigil. It really was a who's who of Washington, DC. I'm going to show you some of that coming up in news. But here's Speaker Johnson in his remarks. The leaders of the nation have been shaken, as have university students and college students and young people all across the country, as if the ground was shifted beneath us. We all felt it deep, deep inside. And in spite of that, we remember that our dear friend Charlie would never want us to be overcome by despair. He would want exactly the opposite. You know, Charlie Kerr recruited and trained and educated a generation of happy warriors. And we do well to be reminded that the best way to honor his memory and honor his unmatched legacy is to live as Charlie did. That's right. And David and Dr. Jean, you mentioned Erica Kirk. Check out this emotional moment when she was beside her late husband's casket.

[Dr. Gina]

Oh, I love you.

[David Brody]

I love you. I love you. I know. I love you. God bless you so much. I love you. I love you. God bless you. Dr. Gina, you have the floor. Dr. Gina.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, yeah, I just hate that, you know, it is very difficult, I'll just be very honest to, you know, to process all of this. You know, I think a lot of us still aren't sleeping, which doesn't make the emotionality of it any better. So many of us can empathize. It's your worst fear. I remember my husband used to drive back and forth to the Capitol every single week. And I would think, what if, when it was my kids that were little, what if? What would I do? And, you know, you don't want to let those fears creep in. But how do you explain it? She talked about having to explain it to their three year old, Gigi, and it's just. It is so heartbreaking. And I mean. Go ahead, David. Yeah, I. I really have nothing. I will just ramble. Go ahead.

[David Brody]

No, I mean, I mean, I didn't want to see it, and yet I had to see it. And I think the whole world needs to see it and we have to sit with the discomfort. And I, you know, I. It's hard. I mean, I, I mean, when that was posted, I was like, I don't. I don't know about that. And then I thought to myself, yeah, actually it needs to be shown. It can be a healing process at some point. Not maybe in the moment, but it is healing for some. And it's disturbing no matter how you see it. But you have to sit in the discomfort of it, because there's not be change without getting uncomfortable. And I think that's part of the point here. And this also made me think about how evil is just so present in the world. And everybody. I'm sorry, T. I just want to say one thing. Everybody's asking, you know, what is it? What has happened? Why is the world, you know, South Korea and England and all the. What's happening here? Why is this taken off? Like. And there's just so many reasons for it, but it's spiritual. I think we got smacked in the face with evil, and I think people are like, wait, what in the world? There's really evil in the world? We always say there's evil on the world, but it's just words on paper. Until you actually see the video of what we saw that we cannot unsee. And I think that's what that is. I think that's part of it. It's a big part of it. Yeah. You know what? We'll be talking much more about this over the next couple of hours, so I will hold my thoughts for that. Dr. Gina, would you give us our Bible verse, please?

[Dr. Gina]

Today's Bible verse is from John 15:13. Greater love has no one than this. Than to lay down one's life for his friends. Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica, is saying her husband's movement will grow stronger from all of this. Take a listen.

[David Brody]

Evildoers.

[Dr. Gina]

Responsible for my husband's assassination.

[David Brody]

Have no idea what they have done.

[Dr. Gina]

They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love.

[David Brody]

But they should all know this.

[Dr. Gina]

If you thought that my husband's mission.

[David Brody]

Was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you just.

[Dr. Gina]

Have unleashed across this entire country and this world.

[David Brody]

You have no idea.

[Dr. Gina]

For more, let's bring in Missouri Congressman Mark Alford. Congressman, I don't even know where to start with this. I think that so many of us are processing this so personally, and I think one thing that I want to say, because I'm sure you are feeling some of this too, is that it's so important to understand that everybody's grief is different, that it comes in waves, that it comes in phases. What are you seeing? What are you feeling, Congressman?

[David Brody]

Well, I'm frustrated. I'm sad. I'm. I'm also energized. We met with, when I got back home this weekend, that one of the first things I did was to meet with our local chapter of Turning Point. There was about 35 students who showed up and their parents came to a gymnasium and we just talked and we prayed and I, I listened to what they were going through and I wanted to encourage them. But there, something good is going to come out of this. And as strange as that's antithetical to the way the world thinks. But look, we live In a Romans 12 world, try to do in a transformed life, being countercultural. That's what Charlie Kirk did. And he inspired, and I think through his death has inspired a whole nother generation, maybe some of those young men and women who were on the fence as to their faith in Jesus Christ. I think this is going to propel people forward to raise an army, not an army of violence, but an army of God to help win others to Christ Jesus. Charlie Kirk said that he wanted to be remembered for his courage, for his faith in Jesus Christ. He certainly will be. And I think God is raising up an army to fight for him. This is a spiritual battle. David, I've heard you talk about this. This is an Ephesians 6 moment. Get out your Bible, everyone, and read Ephesians 6. Put on the full armor of God, because our, our fight is not with people here on earth. It is principalities and of dark realms that are battling for our souls right now. Congressman. I mean, I couldn't have said it any better. That's exactly right. And you know, everybody's going to talk about Charlie Kirk and freedom and America and the Constitution and of course that is everything that he was fighting for here on Earth. But ultimately it is all about Jesus Christ. And that is what I think people are feeling. You can easily just go search, everybody just go search on Google and you'll see tons and tons of stories of people going to church for the first time because they heard what Charlie was talking about and eloquently stating the gospel message. That's what this is about. This is not. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to poo poo America and Constitution and freedom, that's all part of it. But it's ultimately about getting people right with God because this is a spiritual battle. And if we don't have. We have the numbers, but we don't have the energized numbers. We don't have the mobilization numbers, we don't have the active numbers. People are sitting around and they need to get active. You know, you wrote a piece in the Washington examiner about, you love to see unity, obviously, and you said this healing America, a call for unity amid tragedy. And of course you're talking about people turning to God and rejecting the darkness. Because ultimately I'm not quite sure I'm going to be honest with you. And I'm an optimistic guy, but I'm not quite sure how you can have unity in a world that has folks that do not see the Bible as the inerrant word of God and are evil because they're not turning to God. Look, you either belong to God or Satan. That's the truth. Either. In other words, this is a binary choice. Yeah. And. And it just is. And we. It's time to actually say that. I mean, you know, let's not, let's not pussyfoot around here. This is not a gray area. You're either going to heaven or you're going to hell. And it's very hard when you have two by two polar opposite worldviews. I'm sorry, go ahead. I got on a spiritual. So I told David, I totally agree with you. And, and what I hear from you is what I feel in my spirit as well. And I think, yes, maybe millions of other Americans who have been sitting on the sidelines. I have not shared the gospel. I've been a Christian since I was a kid. And I don't know if I've. I mean, we've helped people, we've shared the gospel, but I don't know if I've really been all, I could be like Charlie. I want to be like Charlie. Same here. And I think we have unique positions. Mike Johnson is another one. Thank God we have him as speaker of the House. I've been in contact with him all weekend. We prayed together Thursday before we left. A group of us and our country is at a pivotal point. We have a president who wants the best for America. We want the best for Americans. We have a speaker who doesn't just care about our success on the House floor. He cares about the souls in that room. All 435, plus the staff. He is concerned about being citizenships of heaven and not just citizens of the United States of America. Yeah, that's, that's what we were elected to do. But when you are a Christian, you realize that there is something more important, I dare say, than the Constitution in the United States. And that is the Holy Bible, in my opinion. That's right. And we've got to stand firm for what we believe.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, no doubt about it. And I think while we all do want to be like Charlie, Charlie would say he wanted to be like Jesus. Congressman Alford, thank you so much for your time. Thank you for your call. By the way, everybody go check it out. It'[e-mail] by Congressman Mark Alford. Thanks for being with us.

This news break is brought to you by amac association of Mature American Citizens. The White House here on a Monday. It continues to be somber. I think it's gonna be somber for a while. We're on the mat, but we're getting up. Welcome back everybody, to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody. Coming up, someone who's in jail and deserves to be there. The suspect, Tyler Robinson. There he is. We're going to discuss some of what potentially drove him to this, including this now confirmed detail that he was living with a man transitioning to be a female transgender. There. We'll talk about it first though, T. Bates standing by with the latest headlines from the Real America's Voice newsroom. Sponsored by amac. The association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice for Americans 50 and older. AMAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today. Together we can right the course of America. Funeral arrangements for conservative activist Charlie Kirk are set this morning. The assassinated 31 year old will be funeralized next Sunday with the service being held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. President Trump says he'll be on hand for the final goodbye. Next week's ceremony, by the way, reportedly being organized by Turning Point usa, which is the organization Kirk founded. We're also hearing several private memorial events are scheduled leading up to that funeral, including some in the nation's Cabinet. Sunday, the who's who of Washington, D.C. came together to remember him at the Kennedy Center. The list of speakers included Congress members Anna Paulina Luna, Andy Biggs and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. As well as Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also took the microphone. But it was White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt who brought a message both from the White House and from her heart. I would not be in this position.

[Dr. Gina]

If not for the heroic efforts of Charlie Kirk who turned the political tide among young people in this country and helped usher in President Trump's historic victory.

[David Brody]

On November 5, 2024.

[Dr. Gina]

President Trump's win in November was fueled.

[David Brody]

In no small part by the tireless.

[Dr. Gina]

Work of Charlie, the Turning point organization that he built from scratch out of a garage, the true essence of the American dream.

[David Brody]

And while much of conservative America is still coming to grips with the murder of Charlie Kirk, a new week and lots of news is upon us. The Fed scheduled to begin the first of a two day policy meeting tomorrow. While all eyes will be on the meeting to see if the central bank will cut interest rates for the first time of the second Trump presidency, many will also be watching to see if Fed Governor Lisa Cook will be in attendance. You may remember President Trump tried to fire Cook amid an investigation into housing finance allegations against her. While a court has ruled that Cook can stay on the job, the Trump administration appealed that decision and could get an answer as soon as today. Also happening today, the Senate is expected to vote on President Trump's pick to fill an already vacant seat on the Fed board. If confirmed, Stephen Mirren would become the newest Fed governor, likely giving President Trump a sympathetic voice in policy meetings. That's a quick check of your headlines. I'll, of course, have more headlines coming your way shortly. But now let's get a quick check of your coast to coast forecast from Weather Nation meteorologist Tracy Anthony Tracey. Good to see you. Good morning.

[Dr. Gina]

Hey, good to see you, too. Good morning. You know, from coast to coast, we have kind of had the same weather pattern for the last couple of days. I don't know if you've noticed it, but we are in a stalled out pattern with a ridge of high pressure across the Central Plains. So temperatures have been well above average. Record breaking heat for areas across the Central Plains. And then we've had a pretty active front range with several storm systems that push to the east and kind of get hung up right around that high pressure center. So you can see temperatures all the way up to the Twin Cities, 86 degrees, St. Louis, 94. I'm talking temperatures 10 to 18 degrees above average for this time of year. So very warm. And then there's a couple spots where we're tracking chances for rain. Want to take you out to the mid Atlantic. This is where we're tracking a coastal low that's going to push on shore and we're talking three to five inches of rain. So this is where they're going to be kind of inundated and it's going to be soggy here for the next few days. As this pattern kind of stalls out. And Terrence, we are tracking an area of interest in the Atlantic. So I know it's been pretty quiet here for hurricane season in the Atlantic and we're just starting to have a few of these areas, so it's looking like we could be ramping up here soon.

[David Brody]

All right, Tracy, Anthony, we appreciate the reporting. We'll check in with you in about an hour, so thanks so much.

That whole setting works. The music. International Falls, Minnesota. God's majesty on display. And God is in control. God is in control of all events, despite some of the horrific scenes that we've seen over the last week. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. All right, so at the Kennedy center prayer vigil for Charlie Kirk last night, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says his assassination is the textbook definition of terrorism. Take a look. They feel that their only recourse is.

[Dr. Gina]

To commit an act of violence to.

[David Brody]

Silence those who oppose them and to intimidate and terrorize others into silence.

[Dr. Gina]

This is the definition of terrorism. We cannot allow ourselves to be terrorized into silence.

[David Brody]

We need to live Charlie Kirk's example.

[Dr. Gina]

The example that he set that are.

[David Brody]

Captured by the words of Reverend Martin Luther King.

[Dr. Gina]

Darling, darkness cannot drive out darkness.

[David Brody]

Only light can do that. All right, so for more, let's bring in retired US Navy officer for the Office of Naval Intelligence. That'd be Lieutenant Steve Rogers. Steve, always good to see you. So in terms of the investigation, we now have confirmation that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, was living with a roommate who was transitioning from male to female. That's now confirmed. We're also now understanding that the suspect had a leftist ideology. That's no shock. What questions do you have going forward here? Good morning to you, Steve. Good morning. Well, I want to know who else knew. I find it just hard to believe that this individual, this killer, went out and committed this horrendous act without any of his associates or friends knowing, especially his roommate. So that's something that is going to be very important for police to pursue because my gut feelings tell me that there were some other people that knew this was coming. Yeah, Dr. Gina, can I jump in here real quickly? I'm sorry, but I'm glad you brought that up because there were several things that the FBI brought up during its news conference that raised some huge red flags to anyone that can think and can critically look at a situation. The FBI said that there was communication they found on this site in which there was talk of I left the gun here. And other people had had these discussions with him, just even in general discussions, it seems to me that at that point there would be questions, at minimum, about potential accessory to a crime. I'm no law enforcement person, but I can think critically. Well, you're absolutely right. And let me add this. My, my gut feeling also is that the FBI knows a lot more than what they're telling us. And I understand that they don't want to compromise this investigation. So they're going to be pretty tight lipped with regard to how far they have gotten and where they are headed. But once again, I'm looking at all this that's going on, all the information, all the evidence, and a lot of the work that they still have to do. There had to be a few people that at least knew about what was going on and just never took the time to make a phone call.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah. And in fact, there were some details released along those lines this morning. Kash Patel said that they are questioning and are in contact with many of the people that were texting, I guess, on this gaming site and that there were several people that should have been privy to the information. He said ahead of time that he was going to kill Charlie Kirk. And there is at least one person who that was who would have seen that text and should have known. And so it will be up then to Pam Bondi at the DOJ if she wants to press charges. Anyway. We're also seeing reports that Robinson is not cooperating with investigators. He was taken into custody on Friday. Him not cooperating. Steve, from your experience in situations as similar as you've been party to, what does this mean? If he's not cooperating? Can you get enough information from those surrounding him, his family, his partner, his. The folks in this gaming site that he was texting with? He'd become very cut off. He was, you know, obviously a genius, like a 4.0 GPA and then went to college, didn't make it there. Set up for an electrical apprenticeship, didn't make it there. Was unemployed was sitting literally in his basement, you know, gaming and talking there and radicalizing Steve. How much will we know?

[David Brody]

Well, Dr. Gina, he's not cooperating now, but that doesn't say he will in the near future. Because if the police go down the road and find enough evidence that they could charge this individual with being an accessory, well, there's your weak link. So when I remember sitting across the table from criminals, letting them know, look, you don't have to cooperate now, but when you're charged with a serious crime, you're going to do a lot of time. So it's going to be up to you to cooperate or do what you feel you got to do and see it behind bars. So the FBI and other law enforcement agencies are going to gather a lot of information that will finally point them into the direction of a weak link. Once they find that link, and there's always a weak link, you're going to see a domino effect. And bingo, they're going to find out what the motive was. They're going to find out who was involved. And it wouldn't be surprised if more people decided that may have been in a situation where they had knowledge where they're going to go to the police. That's what the father did. He knew he had to go because if he didn't, he'd be in a lot of trouble. Yeah, good point. Hey, Steve, I got to make a hard turn to some other news real quick before we let you go. We've got Secretary of State Rubio, who's meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. As a matter of fact, they've already met. There's some pictures of the meeting. They've discussed the strike against Hamas leaders inside Qatar. They're discussing the hostage situation. What's this relationship like right now? I mean, the United States at least says publicly they were frustrated that that Netanyahu would do this over in Qatar. Clearly, the United States sees the geopolitical issues here because they want Qatar as a friendly force there in the Middle east regarding the air base and many other issues as well. Look, we have a friendly force, and that's Israel. I've said all along, and I agree with the Israeli government, you don't negotiate with terrorists. The fact of the matter is, I think what we're seeing is the President of the United States, Donald Trump, doing the best he could to kind of lower the temperature, make Qatar and other countries feel that, look, we're still. He's still working hard to be fair, but at the same time, to make sure that Israel is secure. We're never going to turn our back on Israel. My guess is Marco Rubio and others are going to make it clear to the prime minister of Israel and others that we stand with you and we're not going anywhere. That's good news for sure. All right, Steve Rogers, thanks for being here. Appreciate you. Thank you very much. And by the way, one more quick thing. The Charlie Kirk assassination, what they started was a national revival to get this country back to God and country. I really believe that. So there is light at the end of the tunnel. And I'll tell you what, as everybody else believes, God has his hand in this somehow, 100%. We talked about that as well at the top of the show. It'll be a continuing theme because that is the number one thing and number one takeaway for sure. Steve, thanks for being here. I'm glad you said that. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Steve. Good to see you. All right, coming up, Trump administration aiming to crack down on Big Pharma's advertising. How successful could it be? We assess that next. Stop settling for weak sound.

And search the News agents to start listening. Okay. All right. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. Gina. We thank you for joining us today. It is time now for our health news that is sponsored by the Wellness Company. And under the microscope today, the Trump administration cracking down on big Pharma advertising. Administration officials reportedly going after misleading drug advertisements. They aim to close a loophole from the 1990s that allows ads to to leave out safety risks in ads. HHS and the FDA sent thousands of letters to big pharma companies. The letter said people are not getting the balance of information on the risks of potential treatments. So this is how they are approaching it. This is brilliant. This is effectively going to work as a ban on advertising. And this has been one of the battle cries of the Maha movement from the very beginning because we are one of the only countries in the world that allows big Pharma to advertise on television. So by elongating and protracting the possible risks inherent in any medications, it will effectively make it so it's impossible to run a commercial because you can't have a 10 minute commercial. Right? So this is very interesting. You'll want to follow this a new administration in Washington D.C. has brought a lot of positive changes when it comes to fixing our broken health care system. The reality though, there's only so much the government can do and that if we really want to make America Healthy again, it's going to start at home with each of us. And that's where the Wellness Company comes in. You see and hear from their doctors all the time on this network and you know their products are the gold standards for keeping you healthy. You have the opportunity with them to make sure you're prepared for whatever happens with their series of medical prescription kits. These kits have an assortment of life saving medications and guidebooks to assess assist in the proper use of the meds in the kits.

Go to TWC Health RAV today. Give it an order. That's TWC Health RAV. Use the promo code RAV. That'll save you 10. All right. Washington, D.C honored RAV's own and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at a prayer vigil last evening. We saw participants like House speaker Mike Johnson, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Among others. Federal officials say 22 year old Tyler Robinson is in custody in connection with the assassination. He's reportedly not cooperating with investigators. President Trump did say that Charlie Kirk will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously. For more, I want to bring in historian and author and host of American Minute Radio, Bill Federer. Oh, Bill, you just never thought I'd see you on a day like this. You and I both go way back with Charlie and his family. You look at this from a historical complex. You know, it's interesting. I was watching the Sunday shows this weekend and one of the older commentators, I should know his name. I'm terrible with names. Never get offended if I don't know your name because I'm terrible. But he was saying, you know, actually he does remember a time when political assassinations were a thing. We used to have a lot more of them. We haven't had as many recently. Give us this whole vision in historical context.

[David Brody]

Right. Well, all we have to do is look at Mexico and almost every election cycle they have dozens of candidates killed, sometimes while they're walking up the platform to their rally. You know, I first Met Charlie in 2014. I was the main speaker at an event in Robinson Illinois, small town, about 500 people. And I get there and I'm going through my notes before I get up and talk. And there's this young guy talking and I can't concentrate on my notes. He's talking about the Constitution, free market capitalism, our faith. And it was Charlie Kirk. And that was 11 years ago. And over the years, one time we became friends through Foster Freeze. He was a conservative billionaire that supported me when I ran for Congress 20 years ago. And you remember that race, of course.

[Dr. Gina]

And I remember Foster very well, God rest his soul as well.

[David Brody]

And so Foster would invite me to a pheasant hunt. I mean, I used to hunt when I was a kid with my dad, but this was sort of unique. And they'd have people like, you know, Gary Sinise because he had a veterans organization and you know, Ross Pro Jr talk about flying around the world in his helicopter and. But he'd also have political people. Tucker Carlson, Andrew Breitbart, Neil Patel. And one time it was Charlie Kirk. And we'd sit around the fireplace. It was one of those unique type of things. And Forrest would have each person say a little bit and I'd give a history talk. But Charlie talked about how he was at a convention and he followed Foster up a couple flights of stairs, giving his two minute pitch on engaging youth. And Foster says, I like it. Call my office, they'll cut you a check. And that was the seed money to help Turning Point USA grow exponentially. And years later, when Foster died, Tucker could talk at the memorial. But Charlie and I and my son spent about two hours in the car together driving through the Wyoming mountains. And he's ask me all these history questions and, and he was thrilled that he was able to stump me on a question. And he's like, I stumped Bill better. And. But then he.

[Dr. Gina]

Wait, what was the question? You can't do that to us.

[David Brody]

Yeah, but we text back and forth. I mean, I literally have dozens of texts on my cell phone from Charlie texting me scriptures. He texted me one the day before he was shot. It was First Corinthians 16, 9. There's wide doors of effective ministry open for me, but there are many adversaries. And I texted a little emoji, hand praying, but I should have called him right then. But last week I spent an entire week with them in Seoul, Korea. Their country is now beginning to lean communist. And the little pastor was arrested, his house was raided. Charlie was in the back room saying, if they arrest you, Pastor, I'm going to call President Trump. I'm going to let everybody in America know. I just have one last event I have to do at a college before I'm going to make this my main issue. And that two days after we left, that pastor's in jail. He's sitting in jail right now in South Korea. And Charlie wanted to let the country know about that.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. You talked to my husband about that as well, and I know you all have been working on that. What was the one question that Charlie asked you that you couldn't answer?

[David Brody]

To be honest, I don't remember.

[Dr. Gina]

You don't. You just remember that he stumped you.

[David Brody]

But he was genuine. I mean, here's somebody, he's meeting with Vice President Trump, Vice President Vance, he's meeting with all these important people and he takes time to text the scripture to me. And I mean, we, you know, just have sort of a. He'd say, bill, somebody asked a question about John Adams, help me on this, you know, and I'd give him some of my links to my articles and so forth.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah. Well, it is just really something we never thought we would see in this body politic. I knew the left was crazy. I knew we had big, important enemies out there doing crazy things, but I just never thought we'd see a day like this. And it'll be interesting.

[David Brody]

You have Erica's picture on there. I'm so proud of Erica for keeping point going. There's a picture, an AI Somebody did it, of Charlie walking up the stairs to heaven to meet Jesus. And he turns and he's passing the baton to a crowd of people lifting up their hands. If there's anything that Charlie would want is for this movement to continue and for there to be thousands, if not millions of young Charlie Kirks rising up to help save this country and this world.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, they're off to a good start. Bill Federer, thank you for being with us. All right, coming up, more action and more reaction coming in after Charlie Kirk's assassination. How was it handled at a rock concert? Lots of places we're hearing about this that maybe we wouldn't have thought before. We're going to tell you about this next on American Sunrise.

Oh hey, welcome back Everybody. Sorry. I was watching myself on television. Following Charlie Kirk's assassination, lawmakers are reacting to the lethal political climate. But, you know, look, the bottom line is there are actions about all of this, and we want to talk about coffee here because you're going to need a lot of energy. But what if your coffee could do more than just wake you up?

If you're already drinking coffee, why not drink one that actually works with your body, not against it? Head to 1775 Coffee.com rav Try Rejuvenate Coffee now. Don't just wake up, rejuvenate now. Time to send it over to Emily. Emily.

[Dr. Gina]

All right, thank you, David. Now that we are caffeinated, it is time to stay awake. Not woke. And who was surprisingly not woke today? Coldplay's Chris Martin, who stunned fans at Wembley Stadium over the weekend when he called on the crowd to pray and send love to the family of Charlie Kirk. Martin urged unity, encouraging his fans to lift their hands up to send love around the world. He mentioned Kirk's family by name, saying, you can send love to people that you disagree with, but you send them love anyway. Tributes since Kirk's assassination are pouring in from around the world. Take a look at that moment in London at the Coldplay concert.

[David Brody]

And so, with that in mind, for the final time for a few years in London, let's raise our hands like this and send love any way you want to send it in the world. And there are so many places that might need it today. So here it comes from London. You can send this to your brother, your sister. You can send it to the families of people who've been going through terrible stuff. You can send it to Charlie Kirk's family. You can send it to anybody's family. You can send it to people you disagree with, but you send them love anyway. You can send it to peaceful people in the Middle East, Ukraine, in Russia, Azerbaijan, in Sudan and Somalia. Anywhere that you think might need love from London. Here it comes in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Go.

[Dr. Gina]

All right, let's bring in Dr. Gina, David, and Terence to discuss here. Terrence, I want to go to you first. I want to get your reaction to Chris Martin's comments about Charlie's assassination. It was a small comment and a long list of a bunch of people that he thought we needed to send love to. Do you think that he gets credit for mentioning Charlie's name, even if it was part of a long list?

[David Brody]

Absolutely. I think anybody with an iota of humanity would be hurting for Charlie, Kirk, and for Charlie's family, given the way that he was assassinated, given the fact that he was assassinated. It doesn't matter the motivation. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree. This is a human being who was gunned down, period. And so kudos. And quite honestly, like, should you be getting kudos for being a human, for having an ounce of compassion? I'm glad he has compassion for Charlie. I'm glad he has compassion for places far and wide. But should you get kudos? And again, it's not to poo poo, you know, his tribute. Okay, great. But anybody with a heart, I think, would have compassion for this situation. And I think he's got a platform in which he showed that compassion. Yeah, it's nice. Am I going to say, oh, you're the greatest thing since sliced bread? No, it just shows that you've got some compassion, David. That's fine. I mean, I don't disagree, I guess, with that. I mean, it's just. I, you know, it just seemed like a little bit more. Well, I don't know. It's. How do I say this? If you disagree, like, I mean, the hands in the air. The hands in the air and energy and send it this way. I mean, you know, it's. It's a bunch of, you know, it's maybe the heart. It's heartfelt, I guess, but that's about it. That's fine. Gina.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, I kind of tend to agree with you, David. It's, you know, kind of up there with, like, the pray to the universe thing and sin love. I mean, you're not. That's not a thing. It's not a thing. You don't sin love. You don't sin love. You can do kind acts. That's love. Love is an act. Love is actually an action. It's not a feeling. And we don't send it clairvoyantly. We do it actively. So if you want to actively send love to Charlie's family, then send them a letter about how it impacted you, you know, join a Turning Point chapter. Just go serve your fellow man. But sending love, it's not a thing, Emily. It's not a thing. Actually, the sentiment, heartfelt David and Terrence, I totally agree with you on that. But I really, really hope we can get away from teaching our children that love is a feeling. Love is an action. Yeah, Gina. I think the opposite.

[David Brody]

Oh, you. Yes, Lord. You didn't preach there. Dr. Dean. You said something I think that is so poignant. Love is an action. It's not a feeling. I think oftentimes we do equate love with, oh, I feel something. No, love is an action. Love is. Even though I'm mad at you, I'm still gonna hug you, I'm still gonna do something for you. Even though I disagree with you, I'm going to listen to you quietly and respectfully disagree that. Great point. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got on my soapbox, but I agree with you there, Dr. Gina. Love is in action.

[Dr. Gina]

I think it is time to put love in action. And I think the sad thing is that we've seen the opposite. We've seen evil on the other side through the things that they're saying and the things that they're, you know, the energy that they're sending and the things that they're doing in their actions. So it's time for more love all around. All right. Still ahead on American Sunrise. It's always important to lean on God during tough times. The Bible history guy, Jim Moseley joins us as we mourn Charlie Kirk's death. We'll be right back. Stay with us.

Bless the USA in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. Time now for a Moment of Faith. It's brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible. In focus today, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. It begs the question, what lessons from scripture should we be remembering in such a time as this? So joining us now with Biblical Insight, one of our favorite guests, Happy Jim Mosley is the author of The Duke of D.C. and appropriately titled Discovering Jesus Disciples. He's also the author of a new book with our own Dr. G called the Days of Creation by Heart, Teaching Children How God Made the World. All of that. Of course, we simply like to refer to him around here as the Bible History Guy. Jim, great to have you. So look, you spent years studying the parallels between Bible history and our world today. This last week has been rough what insight can you share with us today? Good morning. Yeah, it's hard to shake this very sad, deep feeling. Well, you know, the murder of Charlie Kirk shows violence is now just a part of our nation's life. And Trump assassination attempts aren't far behind us either. There's just this dark undercurrent flowing. It's simmering like a pot on a stove. It's just kind of slowly raising the world's temperature past the boiling point. And there's a sobering thought here. History shows the murder of one man can sometimes spark. Be the spark that just sets the world ablaze. In 1914, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand ignited the First World War. One bullet plunged millions into death and reshaped the world for the worse, mostly. So what do we do as Christians in a time like this, when violence feels like the new normal? Well, Jesus said you'll hear wars and rumors of wars, see that you are not troubled. He also wept over Jerusalem. And he said, the days will come when your enemies will surround you, when you will see Jerusalem encircled by armies, know her desolation is near. Let those in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those in the country not come into the city. Well, 37 years later, those words came true. Roman legions did besiege Jerusalem. And for a brief, brief moment, the General Titus lifted the siege because he wanted the Passover pilgrims to go inside and strain the city's food supply. And in that small window, the Christians remembered Jesus words. They left Jerusalem. They escaped across the Jordan to the hill town of Pella. And here's why they did it. They heard the Lord's warning. They remembered the Lord's warning. They took it seriously. When the time came, they acted on it. It must not have been easy for 50,000 Christians in the middle of a war to look at each other and say, hey, now's the time. Let's go. But they did it, and they survived. When Jerusalem fell, the temple burned. Thousands perished. But those who trusted Jesus were spared. So what's our lesson? Well, our refuge is not in politics, and it's not in personalities. It's in Christ. He's our safe place. Whether today's assassinations or false flags or whether they're random acts of eagle, the truth always ends up in the same place. We live in a fallen world. We have a North Star. Like the Christians who fled to Pella, our hope is in following the word of the Lord. Paul reminded us our citizenship is in heaven. He said we seek a better country, a heavenly one. So even as we wade through a world of blood and confusion. We can rally around Jesus and rise as a peaceful but purposeful army in his kingdom. If we follow Christ like those early believers, we can find and create peace and maybe live to see a better world. Thank you. Jim. Thank you for those biblical words of wisdom. Appreciate it. Thank you. My pleasure. We're back with the second hour of American Sunrise in two minutes. Stick around. Stop settling for weak sound. It's time to level up your game and bring the boom.

And Charlie Kirk's assassination isn't just uniting his followers, it's turning hearts. They reveal who really stands for tolerance and why Charlie's legacy will not die. It's all ahead as the second hour of American Sunrise starts right now. Good morning America.

[Dr. Gina]

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

[David Brody]

Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.

[Dr. Gina]

The American dream is still alive.

[David Brody]

I'm David Brody. I'm terrence.

[Dr. Gina]

And I'm Dr. Gina.

[David Brody]

Welcome back, everybody, to the second hour of American Sunrise. I'm David Brody coming to you from D.C. let's bring in Dr. G in West Palm T. Bates in Denver. Good morning to both of you. You know, I was struck at one thing, Dr. G, Erica Kirk talking about. She actually said these words, quote, God is good is what she said. And I think there's going to be a lot of people that don't know God who go, wait, what? God is good? Wait, that doesn't compute. But think about this so far and look, we don't have the answers. We don't know. This is horrible. I mean, let's just be honest. We want Charlie here. And then you look at what God has done so far since this has happened. Right? So many more people going to church seeking God. You've got the turning point chapters, 32,000 of them now, or at least inquiries, about 32,000 new chapters. They have 3,500 right now. 32,000. And then you just. You look at the fact that this whole. The whole world now knows about Charlie Kirk's message of Jesus and biblical truth, whereas before his death, just a portion of Americans only knew. Now the whole world knows. God is stirring, Dr. G. He really is.

[Dr. Gina]

It was melancholy. I walked in this morning, and it was the first time where I stopped and looked. There was a. There's a green room here in the studio, and sometimes the guys will set it up for Charlie to do his show in there. If we have conflicts in this studio and don't have another studio available. So a lot of times Charlie would be in there. It was kind of funny because he was a pretty big guy, and him being in there in that little bitty green room to do his show. And I looked and I thought, literally did this thought, oh, I wonder if Charlie's going to be here today. Because I saw that the light was on. And so it just. It's going to continue. I think one of the things that. At least I know, you know, we just are all experiencing this so differently. But one of the things I'm experiencing is a deeper conviction of all the things that I kind of thought I was doing okay on. And suddenly excellence seems to be called for, seems to be the item of the day. I don't know if you're feeling any of this, Terrence. I just feel like it's. It's so. And then the other thing is, I just can't sleep. I can't get that image out of my head. I can't get it out. I don't know what I'm going to do about it. And listen, I'm the person that knows how to counsel people with ptsd, but, doctor, heal thyself, right, Terrence?

[David Brody]

Yeah. You know what? Unfortunately, I've had my share of counseling, but one of the things I've learned in counseling from counselors is that sometimes the trauma, other people's trauma, can also impact you as the counselor. And sometimes it's also healthy from the counselor's perspective to talk to someone. Of course. The assassination of Charlie Kirk continuing to be a major global story. Utah Governor Spencer Cox saying that the man accused of killing Charlie isn't cooperating. He has not confessed to authorities. He is not cooperating, but all the people around him are cooperating. And I think that's very important. There were reports yesterday that we can confirm that his roommate was indeed a boyfriend who, who is transitioning from, from male to female. That's, that's information that the FBI had, had mentioned yesterday. We can confirm that as well and that, that, that he is cooperating with, with authorities as well. The 22 year old accused assassin remains in custody. Formal charges are expected tomorrow. In the meantime, federal agents are reportedly zeroing in on whether the assassination was part of a broader plot. Investigators now said to be looking at the suspect's network and online footprint. President Trump set to head to Britain for a full royal state visit this week. He'll be the first American president ever invited twice by the British monarch. King Charles will greet President Trump and first lady Melania Trump with the works. We're talking a royal salute, carriage procession and a private lunch at Windsor Castle. However, this trip isn't just for show. Sources say a massive US UK Tech partnership may be announced. The deal would reportedly center on AI and cyber security. All right, folks, time to get a quick check of your nationwide forecast. Meteorologist Tracy Anthony from our friends over at Weather Nation, standing by. Tracy, I like warmer temperatures and I think you're bringing those in your forecast. Bravo to you.

[Dr. Gina]

You know what, I was just going to ask you that. We're about a week away from fall. So are you ready for it?

[David Brody]

As ready as I'm going to be. My grass is still a little bit brown, so I guess I'm a little bit more ready for that. A little bit of rain could definitely help it. But I like warm temperatures. As I said, I'm all for the warm temperatures. Yeah.

[Dr. Gina]

And you know, we've had record breaking heat across the Central Plains throughout the last several days with this ridge of high pressure that continues to set up with this blocking pattern. So we're going to slowly start to see this ridge break down. But we're talking St. Louis 94 degrees, Minneapolis 86 and Dallas 94 as well. So this is where that heat is just centrally located for the next couple of days. Now, rainfall wise, we have some areas that will be dealing with some light rain showers, but areas of the Mid Atlantic and North Carolina in particular have a coastal low that's going to continue to churn and eventually push on shore. And we're talking about rainfall totals even inland 3 to 5 inches just over the next 24 hours. So they're going to be dealing with some inland flooding, some coastal flooding and some breezy conditions here over the next day or so as that low just churns now.

[David Brody]

Hey, that big.

[Dr. Gina]

The question what's going on in the tropics? And we do have one area we're watching in the Atlantic, but it's been relatively calm and quiet. So, Terrence, that's a good thing that we haven't had an overly active hurricane season.

[David Brody]

Absolutely. Especially for you guys down there in Florida, which typically gets the brim. Thanks so much, Tracy. Appreciate it. Yep. All right, let's get over to David. David, really? The big story is Charlie Kirk. It's going to be the big story all week long with the funeral. Funeral at this point, set for Sunday. That's right, T. Bates. And the reaction to the actual assassination of Charlie Kirk is on everyone's mind. And coming in fast and furious on Friday, Erica Kirk stood where her husband once spoke, his empty podcast chair beside her. Her words, they were just raw. Her faith unbreakable. She declared, Charlie's mission will carry on his name, his cause, his crown in heaven. Take a look.

[Dr. Gina]

The evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination.

[David Brody]

Have no idea what they have done.

[Dr. Gina]

They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God's merciful love.

[David Brody]

But they should all know this.

[Dr. Gina]

If you thought that my husband's mission.

[David Brody]

Was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you just.

[Dr. Gina]

Have unleashed across this entire country and this world.

[David Brody]

You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that.

[Dr. Gina]

You have ignited within this wife.

[David Brody]

The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry to everyone listening tonight, across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It won't.

[Dr. Gina]

I refuse to let that happen.

[David Brody]

They will not die.

[Dr. Gina]

All of us will refuse to let that happen.

[David Brody]

No one will ever forget my husband's name.

[Dr. Gina]

And I will make sure of.

[David Brody]

Will.

[Dr. Gina]

Become stronger.

[David Brody]

Bolder, louder, and greater than ever.

[Dr. Gina]

My husband's mission will not end, not.

[David Brody]

Even for a moment. You know, it was more than a message of grief. It was a call to continue the fight. Millions are asking is Erica Kirk now the voice of what comes next. Joining us now, the host of Breaking Point here on rav, David Zier. David, you were at last night's prayer vigil for Charlie. You're there at the Kennedy Center. You know what I found interesting on so many levels with what Erica Kirk was saying, but she, you know, it was the suspect is one person, Tyler Robinson. But she said evildoers, plural, and that they, I mean, there was. There was more than an implication that, yeah, the suspect may have pulled the trigger but there's a lot more people responsible for the hate, violence and rhetoric going on today against people like Charlie. Yes, David, like Andy Ngo said, he calls it transtifa now. And we're going to see how all these things unfold here. And Andrew Cuvette said yesterday that he didn't, Charlie Kirk didn't want blood in the streets. He wanted revival.

[Dr. Gina]

It's so true. So true. David, from what you're hearing on the ground and even in sort of the inside DC Washington whisper campaign, how deeply are they looking at this? I remember initially there were reports talking about some investigations of foreign folks. Is that something that they are looking at? Because I've listened to the most recent couple of days interviews with Kash Patel and others and I'm kind of hearing that drop. But I know that John Solomon on this show said that there was some information of some foreign involvement. Do you know anything about that? I just don't want to let it drop.

[David Brody]

I do not have any information regarding a wider conspiracy type operation or planning. And this is an ongoing investigation. Right. And did Tyler Robinson have any communication with other people, members of the antifa type community or any, any other foreign interest? But no, I do not have any specific information on that. David, obviously you're there in Washington D.C. you heard the who's who of Washington D.C. speak last night at the vigil. Which leads me to the question. We hear a lot about the grassroots really being motivated. Really being motivated, mobilized as a result of Charlie's assassination. But how about the power structure? How about the lawmakers who were there in Washington D.C. yeah, they're saying all the right things. But how about the actions? Are those actions? Is the rhetoric turning into action? Well, Trump asking, I think for another $58 million for increased security for judicial branch and executive branch members. And as we heard last night, you know, Congressman Andy Biggs, Mike Johnson, Anna Paulina Luna here. It's front and center on their radar. But when you talk about grassroots, this place was packed last night. We had 2,500 plus inside the concert hall. About a thousand people were turned away. And Terrence, I just wanted to add, you know, this was really encouraging last night because what Charlie built here goes way back, right? I had two young men last night that I interviewed for RAV almost seven years ago at CPAC here. They're still involved, they're still active. One was a Southeast Florida Turning Point High School chapter chairman and the other was a very active young man out of Baltimore involved with tpusa. And these guys are still going. So I think, think there's a lot of momentum here going forward. And as Dr. Gina pointed out, you know, 32,000 new requests for chapters, and a lot of those are high schools. David, we have about 30 seconds left. What was the mood inside the hall last night? I mean, obviously so many emotions, right? Anger and sadness and resolve. And, you know, what did you get a sense of the most there?

[Dr. Gina]

And I want a couple with that question. David Brody, were there Democrats there?

[David Brody]

I don't know. I didn't talk to any Democrats. But the mood was, it was a tense at first. It was subdued, it was solemn. Once people took their seat, I think it really set in. But last night was a message again of revival and of strength because once the people shared their stories about their interactions with Charlie Kirk, you know, it was uplifting and it was an enlightening ceremony here at the Kennedy Center. And speaking of Democrats, the Kennedy center, named after John F. Kennedy, started construction a year after he was assassinated. Another assassination. So this goes across the spectrum. Everybody has to denounce what happened. But yeah, yesterday was very, very moving. And my favorite line of the night was Carrie Lake said, don't send your kids to these indoctrination camps, you know, meaning these left wing colleges. So. But yeah, it was very special. Very special. And the people are just great. They came from all over the country. I interviewed people from all over and it was put together in 48 hours, which was amazing. Yeah, amazing. That is amazing. We appreciate you. Thank you, David. Appreciate your coverage. Thank you so much. Yes. All right, coming up, more on the Charlie Kirk assassination. Specifically about some of the crazy people that are saying stuff online, horrible stuff online. And the names and posts of those cheering violence are now being exposed. The details when we come back. Everybody stop settling for weak sound. It's time to let level up your game and bring the boom.

[Dr. Gina]

You're talking about my cousin Huckleberry. Terrence.

[David Brody]

I've been waiting for literally three weeks. And I was like, you know what? Today I'm gonna pull the trigger. I'm saying it.

[Dr. Gina]

I like it. I like it. The joke landed. Terrence, thank you very much. But it is time to drain the swamp now. And this morning we are fleshing out, not Huckleberry Finn, all of the deranged liberals who are celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination. Federal agencies are cracking down hard, warning employees who criticize or mock Charlie Kirk they are going to be fired. The Trump administration says it is tracking very closely social media posts that suggest that Kirk should not be mourned. With a zero tolerance stance from government departments, employees have already been placed on leave or disciplined for individual posts. With Homeland Security already taking action against at least three workers, several other agencies have followed suit as well. In the meantime, a US Marine has been fired after making a post calling Charlie Kirk a racist man who was popped, sparking outrage all across conservative media. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a Pentagon spokesperson both insist that the department has zero tolerance for celebrating or mocking Kirk's death. Right wing influencers and Trump allied voices have called for firings and accountability, reinforcing that celebrating the death of a conservative icon is simply unacceptable. Hegseth honored Kirk as a Christ follower and American Patriot, comparing him to 911 heroes, saying his legacy will never be forgotten. And it's not just Washington. Corporate America is following suit too. Microsoft, Delta, Nasdaq, all purging staff who mocked Charlie Kirk's death. Those celebrating are going to be outed. The tables have officially turned. We want to know what you think our viewers. Let us know on Rumble or Getter. Hop on and let your voice be heard.

[David Brody]

This is Navy Pier in my hometown of Chicago, of course, also Charlie Kirk's hometown. He's not directly from Chicago, but he's a Chicagoan in general. And so this is one of one of the great places in our fair city there in Chicago, Illinois. Welcome back everyone. We're getting you ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It is set to ring here in about six minutes or so. As you can see from our big board here, all the major indices, the Dow, the s and P500 and the NASDAQ are up in the green in pre market trading. We'll get a sense of how things are looking the moment markets open here in just a little bit. Again, we'll take it to the New York Stock Exchange for the opening bell in short order. But first, let's get you over to David. David, the shine is off. You look great, my friend. Good morning. Good morning, T. Bates. Appreciate it. Now time for our daily dose of dollars and common sense with American Sunrise. Early Edition host the guy behind Jake's take, substack that be Jake Novak. Jake, so I thought America was headed off the economic cliff. I mean, that's what those economic geniuses at CNN told us last week. But Wall street is putting its money on some other outcome. Tell us more. Good morning. Yeah, you know we're going to open this morning at all time highs on the NASDAQ, close to all time highs on the S P 500 and the Dow. Now There are some people, David, saying, well, this is because the market's been rooting for bad news for the economy. Bad news to the economy means that there's a better chance that the Fed will cut rates and that's what the markets want. Listen, that there's a little bit of truth to that. But look, profits, profits are the mother's milk of the stock market and American companies are making profits. That's what's going on right now. Again, there's always another recession coming. But I don't want to be one of those guys who gets introduced on your program as here's Jake Novak who's predicting who's predicted seven of the last two recessions. I don't want to be that guy. So just understand how the economy is in, always in flux. But it is not in the doomsday place that, that the mainstream media wants us to believe it is. No, we'll take your word on that. Speaking of cnn, Jake, there are reports that CNN parent Warner Brothers could be bought. What's going on there? Yeah, this is a huge story in the media space, which understandably has been going under the radar because of the big news of the last several days. But here's how it goes. David Ellison, who just bought Paramount, the parent company of cbs, and now it's called Paramount Skydance, well, he's worth tens of billion dollars more than he was just a week ago because his father's company, Oracle, shot up 30% last week. And now he's flushed with billions of dollars worth of new cash and he wants to buy Warner Brothers Discovery. That's the company that of course, owns all the Warner Brothers studios and a lot of channels, but it includes cnn. So let's talk about the news business here, David, on social media and on my program here on Real America's Voice. For about a year, I've been predicting that by the end of 2025, CNN would not exist in its current form. Now we see how that is likely to happen. When I worked at CNN many, many years ago, we were always close to merging with cbs. Well, now I think this is going to happen if this deal goes through. And I can't imagine anyone outbidding David Ellison. And for Warner Brothers, he's going to fold whatever is left of CNN into whatever is left of CBS News. The CNN name will probably exist on streaming and maybe some documentaries. This is how it's going to work and it makes a lot of sense now, I think. Wait, so you're saying CNN would go away on, like, television stuff? Like that. Is that your prediction? Yeah, I mean, I think that what they'll use those channels for is some other content. They may call it cbs, cnn. They may try something like that. Remember, CBS has an online only 24 hour news service. I think I forgot what it's called. Don't, don't look it up. It's not worth watching. But you get my point. There will be some kind of a consolidation and the value of its, of its cable channel and that, that, that where, where it comes in on your TV directory is going to be very valuable. I think they'll sell that offer. They'll use it for something. Remember, Ellison wants CBS Paramount to be all about the NFL. And I think they'll use it for more NFL content. If I had to guess, yes. Yeah, well, actually it makes a lot of sense. Finally, Jake, I guess you have the story for us about, shall we say, special rules for China in Europe. What's going on there? This is the craziest story I've ever heard. There's a Chinese EV called and the MG3. This is the name of a car that China makes. Now in European EU testing, safety testing, for the first time ever, there was a failure, a common failure in this car on the, oh, something little like the driver's side seatbelt wasn't working. People were. I mean the crash test dummies were flying through the windshield. Just an incredible failure in that car. And yet the eu, David, still gave it four stars as a safety rating. I'm sorry, folks. This is a corrupt situation through and through. You don't have to be a genius to see that. All I can say is don't buy that car. I mean, that's easy advice for me, but the more important lesson we learn right now is that China gets special treatment through their influence of their money. And you got to be very careful with their products, especially cars. End of story. That is a great. That's a wild story. And exhibit A in China, preferential treatment. Jake Novak, good to have you. Thank you. Appreciate you. My pleasure. Thank you. All right, time for tea in Denver. That would be T. Bates. The opening belt. The New York Stock Exchange, sponsored by amac. The association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice for Americans 50 and older. AMAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today. Together we can write the course of America. We're getting ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. You're going to hear the applause here. In short order, then the bell will ring and we'll get an idea of where the market stand. Literally within the last six minutes things have changed. In pre market trading you can see the Dow and The S&P 500 are now down. When we talk about six minutes ago, right before we went to David, they were in the green. The Nasdaq is in the green right now which is good news. And the rest of the board also in the green. Again that's pre market trading as I promised. You hear the applause here. The Deutsche bank is at the podium. So that means that the bell is going to ring here in just a little bit. That's of course the German bank but they I guess are publicly traded stock or at least they definitely have off offices in Manhattan on Wall Street. So they are there at the podium opening the markets today and they're doing so in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month as you see there. All right ladies and gentlemen, the markets are now officially open. And once again showing us just how quickly things are changing. The Dow, S P500 and Nasdaq are all now back in the green. You may remember literally a minute ago in pre market trading before the the markets officially open the top two indices were in the red and now they're back in the green as is the rest of our board. So this very well may be an indication that it's going to be an up and down day. Hopefully it will end up and if you're investing you'll have done well today. When inflation jumps and when you hear the national Debt is over $37 trillion do you ever think well maybe now would be a good time to buy some gold. Whether as a hedge against inflation pieces mind or during global instability or if it's just for sensible diversification. The Birch Gold Group believes that every American should own physical gold. That's why they've created something special until the end of this month, September 30th. If you're a first time gold buyer, the Birch Gold Group is offering to re. Is offering a rebate, excuse me, of up to $10,000 in free metals on qualifying purchases. To claim eligibility and to start the process simply request an information kit. Now you can do so by texting the word America to the number 9,898. 98 plus. The Birch Gold Group can help you roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold and you're still eligible for a rebate in free metals of up to $10,000. The birch gold Group is the only precious metals company so many Americans trust trust as do their tens of thousands of customers. Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000 when you buy by September 30th. Again, to get the free information kit, simply text the word America to the number 98. 98 98. Up next, we're going to set our sights on Washington as we get the very latest on the White House, President Trump and reactionary to Charlie Kirk's death. All of that when American Sunrise returns.

The newsagents to start listening. All right. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for joining us this morning. We invite you to hop in our conversation on YouTube, getter and rumble. It is time now to take the political pulse of America. The beat today, the White House, of course, in agony after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a key MAGA ally and friend to all of MAGA and President Trump's team as well. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles spoke to her team regarding Kirk's assassination. Many there knew Charlie personally and considered him family. At just 31, he was more than a conservative influencer. He was central to the MAGA movement and those close, those leading the White House. Trump and his aides mourn a true patriot who inspired a generation of America's fighting for freedom and values. For further discussion, let's welcome to American Sunrise, RAV chief White House correspondent Brian Glynn. Brian, I can only imagine on Capitol Hill it's just almost hard to conduct the daily ordinary business. I mean, it's hard for us here because we're, you know, very used to interacting with Charlie here at Ravis, one of our own. But you know, some of the people on Capitol Hill, some of the congresspeople and whatever, he was a great inspiration to and a great source of support. There are more people that have sent me screenshots of scripture that Charlie sent to them personally over his lifetime than I can count. And my children have been very inspired by this as well as you can imagine. And that's ranging from my millennial daughter all the way down to my Gen Z sons. And so this is something that really is permeating our society. But I'm wishing I were hearing more from Democrats because a sad political assassination is not a partisan issue. And I would like to hear if you're hearing anything from Democrats.

[David Brody]

Well, good morning. I spent most of the weekend on a college campus in Texas visiting my son. So I had a lot of time I spent with college students over at Texas Tech talking about this, the influence on them. I also was on the plan, the plane with Pam Bondi and RFK Jr. When this news broke. So I had a chance to kind of observe how they were taking it. But let me tell you how Democrats are taking it right now. Not only are they vocalizing, you know, Ilhan Omar has been very public about criticizing Charlie Kirk, but they had over the weekend a virtual security phone call with their members to talk about how they need to move forward with this ongoing threat to, I guess, their safety, when it seems like everyone that's really lashed out against any conservatives have been from their base, but apparently they're interested in increasing the security. Now, on the flip side, Dr. Gina, I have had no, I've heard of no conversations right now as of right now on how to make conservative lawmakers, not only President Trump behind us, but also on Capitol Hill and in the Senate, safer. What can we do to make sure we protect ourselves out in public? I asked President Trump that the other day when he was off on Marine One. Do you have any advice? He says, hey, be strong, you know, have no fear, which the Bible does tell us to have. Dr. G. We all know that, but we live in a very different world. If I could for just one second, people ask me, brian, can this country be saved? And I got to be very truthful. I think we're so far gone politically. We're so separated between good and evil. It's going to take more than just this, you know, strong policies. We need a complete Capitol Hill needs to be filled with Donald J. Trumps because we have so many weak men in the Republican Party that have allowed leftist Marxism, this demonic movement to get in every facet of our society, schools, education, military, all these things they slowly pushed us to. To the point now, Dr. Gina, I don't know where we go from, from here. And I have nothing in common with anybody on the left that celebrates the death of Charlie Kirk. I don't have anything in common with them. They obviously don't believe in God. That's the fundamental start to all of this conversation. So I want nothing to do with them. I don't want to come together. I don't want to find common ground. I don't want to get along to get along. Let's just move together. I don't want that. So to go back to the original statement, it is very difficult times here in Washington, in D.C. dealing with all of this. Yeah. Good and evil cannot find unity is the bottom line. Good and evil cannot find unity. Thank you, David. Yeah, you bet. Hey, Brian, The Vice President's going to host the Charlie Kirk show today. What a huge deal. It'll be right here on Real America's Voice. We are involved in all of the production of it. Talk to us about what you know, sir. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What an honor this network has involved with this very special edition with Vice President J.D. vance. As we know, J.D. vance and Charlie Kirk were close friends. They traveled together to Utah with his wife, Second lady, to pick up the body and bring it back. It's a very special moment. I think it's going to be something that we can all look forward to and perhaps I want to see unity in our party to fight this evil. David. I don't want in party bickering. I don't think it helps the cause at all. But what a great moment today. Looking forward to it right here on Real America's Voice. And I'm very proud of all the production. Look, while I was on the college campus this weekend and I had a trip planned to see my son, I got to do that. I'm so proud of this network and the resources they put together to cover this thing last night from top to bottom, as good as you can get it. Very proud, David, of this network right now in this very difficult time, which he was so close to all of us. And for us to put some of that grievance aside, grieving and going over and trying to heal and still do your professional job is something to be applauded. Brian, it strikes me that you say you want to see unity among Republicans as a result of. Of all of this. The reality is there is still work to be done. And yes, we are all mourning. There's a lot of hurt. There's this fog, if you will, probably over Capitol Hill, over Washington in general. But there's still work to be done 16 days from now, or really, I guess, 15 days from now. Something has got to give as it relates to the budget, as it relates to those various spending bills. Otherwise there might be be a shutdown. Has what happened with Charlie Kirk slowed that process? Or are you hearing that the work is still happening? Maybe a little slower, maybe a little heavier, but it's still happening. The work is still happening. And I just found out, just literally walking into the White House today, that there is a potential budget allocated for security concerns amongst House not only leaders but then House members as well. That might be a different aspect factored into this CR that is obviously proposed to I think go to the end of November. So we'll see. And I think they're going to vote on this this week if I'm not mistaken. So we'll have to keep an eye on that. But it's certainly back to business. But I'll go back to this, Terrence. You know, we've got a lot of men and women who claim to be strong spiritual leaders. They claim to stand up for God and stand for Jesus and try to walk in his light and try to make a change in the world. But when they're in a position of power to actually legislatively do that, they don't. And so that's why I don't have a lot of faith in our government to save this country. It's going to happen just like it did yesterday in churches around this country. We saw record breaking attendance. This spiritual awakening is happening. We just need our elected members in Congress, Senate and for the most part our president keep supporting him. We need them to take strong, bold action and push against anything that threatens this country and our personal safety.

[Dr. Gina]

Absolutely. Brian Glenn, keep us posted on all of that. And let's all remember to also pray for each other and for our audience because I think it's not just hard on those who are there on Capitol Hill or those who knew him here at rav. It is hard, I think, for a lot of people who just see this as such an American tragedy that they can't get out of their heads for whatever reason. Thank you, Brian. God bless you.

[David Brody]

Thanks, Brian. Thank you.

[Dr. Gina]

It's going be to send it over to Emily. Thank you so much. Dr. Gina Charlie Kirk's brutal and senseless assassination is a tragic wake up call to end all political violence. An eyewitness to his world shaking killing on that horrible day joins us now. He was front row, cameras rolling and then chaos. This wasn't just a moment in his life, it was a moment in history. Joining us now is Logan Jackson. Logan is a student at Brigham Young University and was in the crowd at Utah Valley University the day that Charlie Kirk was murdered. Logan, thank you so much for joining American Sunrise. Really appreciate you taking the time to wake up early with us and share more about your experience that day. I mean, seeing the videos circulating online was just heartbreaking. It was gut wrenching, absolutely horrific. I can't imagine what it was like actually being there. First of all, before we dive into anything else, how are you holding Up.

[David Brody]

Well, obviously, there's a lot of emotions. There's anger, there's sadness, there's worry, and there's so much. But as I've gone through this journey and as I've drawn closer to Christ, I just. I find myself filled with a newfound appreciation for life because it could end at any moment and just filled with the love of God.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah. You have to find some kind of positive in such a dark moment like this. Logan, I totally hear what you're saying. You know, the video that we have been showing on our screen was actually, from your point of view, 10 minutes before Charlie was killed. Walk us through your experience that day, those moments before and after the shooting. Tell us what it was like from your perspective.

[David Brody]

Well, I was. I was very excited to be there. I got there an hour early just to make sure I got a good seat. And so I go up and I'm 30ft away from him. And, you know, I'm just doing the basic stuff. I'm doing my homework, talking to the people around me. The energy in the crowd is so infectious. There's so much excitement for this. And then he comes out, and it's like you see a legend that, you know, we've only seen on the screen before, and then he starts throwing out hats. The guy to my left caught one. The guy behind me, I think a guy hit me in the face while trying to catch one. So that was fun. But I was surprised by how much genuine wholesomeness and excitement Charlie had. You'd think after hundreds of these events that, you know, it's not new anymore, but he was so present. And then he starts asking the questions and he, you know, he speaks to the crowd and we're. The second question in maybe 15 minutes into the event when I hear a gunshot. Yeah, it's a loud noise, and I knew exactly what that was. And I'm looking right at him and I see the blood come out of his neck. I see him collapse and, well, what do you do? An event like that, I collapse to the ground. You don't know if you're going to be next.

[Dr. Gina]

It's just absolute chaos. In that moment, you have to run and hide or try to help others around you. I just. I can't even imagine. And this has had such a profound impact on so many people. I mean, tens of thousands of young people like you and I all across the country, they're now reaching out to TPUSA. Upwards of 30,000 new chapters could be started in high schools and colleges all around the country. In Charlie's honor. Yet at the same time, we're seeing awful posts on social media from those on the left celebrating his assassination, celebrating that horrible moment that you had to witness. What are you hearing from other students about this horrible tragedy? Do you think that this has pulled students together or exposed more polarity?

[David Brody]

It's done both at the same time. I know I went, I went to the school the next day and went to my classes that everything was a buzz. Everyone was talking about it in Utah. I mean, we live in such a bubble. It's always so safe and suddenly that's gone, that's ripped away. But I mean, people aren't that open in person. But I have, I've been sharing my experience online and it's reached at this point, millions of people. And I've had floods of comments that are so supportive from all across, you know, human life. There is people of all ages, of every race, different sexualities all across the political spectrum. I've had conservatives reach out, I've had liberals, I've had communists, I've had fundamentalists and even people from different countries all coming together and uniting.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, it certainly had an international impact. Logan Jackson, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us today. We will continue to pray for you and everyone that's been impacted by Charlie Kirk's assassination, especially the Kirk family. Thank you again, Logan. We'll be back with more on American Sunrise in just a few moments. Stay with us.

So if you are logging into the show, you really are missing out on a Lot the chat very active because it's called Real America's Voice. That means it's your voice. We want to welcome now to American Sunrise, Carefree Largo, a member of the RAD family. Carefree, always good to see you. You always got a smile on your face. It's been harder in the last week for sure with what's been going on. What has been going on in the chat this morning? Good. Good morning, my brother. Well, good morning to you and thank you for having me. It's great to be here. The chat has, has been somewhat somber the last few days. You know, for me, David, going back a little bit, you know, it was September 12th. That was really the day that was etched into my brain and still is, I guess, on many levels because that was the day for me the world changed. It wasn't my city, it wasn't my state, it wasn't my nation. It was the entire planet had changed. It had been plunged into a confusion of befuddlement of chaos and terror. And then here we are, 24 years later and these United States under the great leadership of a duly elected president, has put America first and begun to be on the offensive where terror is concerned, everywhere it's concerned, out on the the oceans tracing, chasing drug dealers. And because of the tragic events of last week, now in our mass transit systems and many events in our mass transit systems have, have brought that to be. And then of course, with the killing of Charlie Kirk, now will be looking more and more into events on college campuses. But one thing is for certain, they're going to learn. They're going to adjust. They're going to improve. They're going to work in a proactive nature to return the pursuit of life and liberty and justice to the American people. Albeit happiness may take just a moment longer. Amen. Tell us what some of the folks in the chat are saying. Well, Melanie Collier says know that I'm praying for each of you at RAV as many of us are. May God wrap you in his loving arms of peace. And I second that. Amen to that. Cat turd fan, one of my favorites says stand strong. We're going to win even if we are on our own. And all along God is with us. And again, amen to that. No words more true or pro speech in the chat offered up. My heart is totally broken. There are no words to express the sorrow. And Charlie Kirk will live forever. And I think you can see with the expansion of the Turning point chapters already that he certainly is going to live forever. There's also, Mr. O2 Spider said Charlie was a threat to their establishment. USS Malik says it's time for all of us to take the responsibility of picking up Charlie's mantle and moving forward. Yeah, you can't. You can't deny that that is exactly what each and every one of us tried to do. Thank you. Carefree. Appreciate it. Keep that smile going as much as you can. You know, I've read how it ends. I've read the ending. Evil does not triumph. The Bible is good. God is good. Carefree. Thanks for being here. Appreciate it. Thank. Thank you. And remember, you're never completely dressed until you put on a smile. That's correct. We are back in a moment. Everybody stop settling for weak sound.

The newsagents to start listening. All right, welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. Chee. Thanks so much for joining us today. It is time now for our Sunnyside up and in the the pan today, charities rise up for Charlie. According to published reports, nearly $3 million has already been raised to support Erica Kirk and her two young children. The fundraiser on Give Send Go took off within hours of Charlie's assassination. And Turning Point USA says they've received 18,000 new chapter requests in less than 24 hours. You guys do that math? That is, of course, after his widow, Erica vowed to continue her husband's work. Supporters say it's proof that Charlie's mission is not ending, it's only beginning. I think it's important, though, to note, you guys that, you know, it's not up to Erica to continue Charlie's work. It's up to each and every single one of us. David.

Love that. All right, you guys, well, listen, thanks to all of you in this audience for joining us. Remember, our hearts are with you right now as you go through all of this. War Room is up next. Go boldly now. Live the truth.
