Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Crime, the National Guard & Trump (04:40-07:35, 20:10-24:00)

• Trump’s Proposal: President Trump signals he could deploy the National Guard to New Orleans, referencing support from the Louisiana governor (Jeff Landry) and lack of cooperation from governors in blue states like Illinois (J.B. Pritzker) and California.
  • “We’re making a determination now. Do we go to Chicago or do we go to a place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor?” (David Brody, 05:01)
  • “We’ll straighten [New Orleans] out in about two weeks. Easier than D.C., but we could straighten out Chicago.” (Bobby Charles as reading Trump, 05:20)
• Illinois Congresswoman Mary Miller’s Response:
  • Argues Chicago cannot protect its own, cites crime statistics, and insists, “J.B. Pritzker is a failed governor. He sides with thugs, gang bangers and illegals.” (05:59)
  • On federal authority: “President Trump… has the responsibility to protect the American people. If governors that are failed… cannot protect the people, he does have a responsibility to come in there with the National Guard as an emergency.” (07:01)
• Legal and Political Barriers:
  • Discussion that deploying the Guard without governor cooperation could end up in court, referencing California precedent (07:35).

• Victims' Press Conference: Powerful testimonies from 10 Epstein survivors aired, reflecting bipartisan urgency (09:03).
  • Brody: “What people want are names. That's what it is. It's not files or list. They want names who was, who was hanging. Not just hanging with Epstein. It's not about hanging with Epstein.” (35:18)
• Discharge Petition Politics: Discussion with Rep. Miller highlights reluctance to endorse the petition (waiting for Trump’s lead). She stresses the need for victim privacy as well as transparency.
• Hosts’ Debate:
  • Brody & Bates stress DOJ’s lack of clarity and potential for lawsuits, but advocate full disclosure for accountability (35:18-39:02).
  • “If you think that simply a name being named could be a public indictment, then add the context…” (Bates, 37:05)
• Republican Strategist Bobby Eberle’s Take (59:07-62:39):
  • “Anything you can do to get justice for these victims...that’s what we should be doing.”
  • Criticizes Trump for undercutting the effort: “If President Trump would come out and say, ‘let’s get this done,’...they could get it done… Instead we’re calling it a hoax.”

• Story: Bipartisan support is growing for a bill to ban lawmakers from trading stocks.
  • Rep. Miller: “Being in Congress is a place to serve the American people, not to build some big stock portfolio. It's absurd that people come with little net worth and leave multimillionaires.” (10:59)

4. Appropriations and the Looming Shutdown (11:32–13:29)

• Mary Miller on Appropriations Gridlock: She supports a continuing resolution (CR) to avoid a shutdown, notes complexity due to slim majorities and intra-party disagreement.
  • “National debt, plus what it's going to cost us to service the debt, will bring us down. So we're going to have to ratchet back our spending.” (12:06)
  • “On paper we have the majority, but we have people maybe on our side that won't vote for what the majority does.” (12:53)

5. Crime, Drug Trafficking, and Law Enforcement Trust (23:39-29:38)

• Bobby Charles on Maine’s Hidden Crime:
  • Underscoring underreporting: “We have a very high undisclosed crime rate…People underreport dramatically in this state.” (24:00)
  • Need for “high intensity drug trafficking designations” and federal-local cooperation for resources.
  • “You've got to get the connectivity back between the state and… the federal government, so we can get that support. The other is you have to build public trust.” (25:33)
  • “In our state…60% of violent crime goes unreported, 70% of property crime goes unreported.” (27:55)

6. Coldplay's Chris Martin and the Israel Controversy (40:33-46:15)

• Incident: Chris Martin called out for comments at a Wembley concert, after bringing two Israeli fans onstage and making comments about human equality, then welcoming Palestinians as well.
  • Jewish fans claim it was dehumanizing and made Israelis feel “conditionally tolerated.”
  • Terrence Bates: “It just didn't come off well. I think I get what he was trying to do. He was trying to appeal to all fans, but it fell terribly flat.” (42:01)
  • David Brody: “His first reaction was like, oh… that's controversial. Why is that controversial? Shouldn't be controversial.” (42:21)
  • Brody reflects on his own heritage and the complexities among Jewish communities. “What makes me defend Israel is my Christian Zionist beliefs that came when I gave my life to Christ…” (44:43)

7. Faith Segment: Spiritual Power & Hardship (47:41–50:02)

• Jonathan Shuttlesworth’s Message: Challenges the idea that spiritual anointing comes from hardship, emphasizing it comes from the Holy Spirit.
  • “Trials don't create the anointing, they reveal it. Be encouraged. You don't need more crushing to be useful. Stop glorifying the pressure and start glorifying the God who put the Holy Spirit within you.” (Emily reads Shuttlesworth’s post, 47:41)
  • “God doesn't use bad things on His children to develop His character. He uses His word and His spirit.” (49:04)

8. Culture & Sports: NIL Chaos and College Athletics (81:56–89:48)

• NIL in College Sports – Brit McHenry's Analysis:
  • Noting a loss of tradition and cohesion: “…when the University of Florida won the NCAA tournament, March Madness, their starting five had four transfers…It’s all about the Benjamins, all about the dollars.” (84:03)
  • Warns that “without regulation, what happens to sports that don’t bring in as many fans…what about women’s soccer, tennis?” (86:54)
  • Anecdotes: High schoolers now signing NIL deals; comparisons to past NCAA scandals (e.g., Reggie Bush).

9. Health and Wellness Features (31:09, 96:39)

Transcript

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

This is an iHeart podcast.

[Emily Finn]

Coming up on American Sunrise. President Trump is weighing what cities could be next for the crime crackdown. Which major one could be up next? We have the answers. Plus, Jeffrey Epstein's victims demand justice on Capitol Hill, promising to compile their own list of high profile figures involved in the sex trafficking ring. We'll discuss the pressure mounting on Congress to release all files and and hold the elite accountable. And later, Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin is under fire after humiliating Israeli fans from onstage, leaving many calling his words mortifying and dehumanizing. The shocking moment caught on tape that proves once again out of touch. Celebrities care more about pushing politics than respecting their audience. Those stories and so much more as American Sunrise starts right now.

[David Brody]

Good morning, America.

[Emily Finn]

Welcome to American Sunrise.

[Terrence Bates]

Whether it's culture, we have breaking news.

[David Brody]

To share with you.

[Terrence Bates]

Politics.

[David Brody]

President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

[Terrence Bates]

We've got you covered.

[David Brody]

This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

[Terrence Bates]

We have to protect the American family.

[Emily Finn]

The American dream is still alive.

[David Brody]

I'm David Brody.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm terrence.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

And I'm Dr. Gina.

[Emily Finn]

Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for tuning in to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn, filling in today for Dr. Gina, live from West Palm Beach. Let's bring in David brody in Washington, D.C. and Terrence Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, you guys. You know, I was reading some of those headlines before the show here, and I have to ask, are either of you Coldplay fans? After all of the controversy with them, I don't think anyone should go to Coldplay concerts. David, we'll start with you.

[David Brody]

Oh, wow. Well, they're good. They're good. I mean, I'm not. I'm not gonna be at a Coldplay concert. I'd probably be at something from the 1970s, but. Yeah, no, they're good. Now after this. Yeah, womp, womp. Not happening. Tbates. No, thank you.

[Terrence Bates]

Cold cut. I prefer cold cuts to cold play. I'll just leave it there. I think that gives you your answer. No. So let's move on. And really, the big story is. And we kind of ended our show yesterday. Shame on me, right? David, we ended our yesterday taking you to Washington, D.C. for that news conference on the Jeffrey Epstein files. Ten victims testified there or actually were part of that news conference. While the Hill is now out with this headline which reads, republican Rebels Square off against GOP Leaders on Epstein files, four House Republicans have apparently signed on to this discharge petition. Yes, I am going to name names. Thomas Massie of course, is one of them Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert are the others. Two more Republic Republicans would need to sign off in order for this thing to get to the floor and move forward. And basically, this is an. It's all about oversight and it's all about making sure that there's transparency and getting as many documents in the public realm as possible. David, that's the goal here.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Yeah.

[David Brody]

And I think they're going to get those two last Republicans. I don't know who they're going to be, but I think they're going to get them. The such a powerful press conference, obviously, yesterday with these women, these brave, brave women coming forward to tell their stories. Good for them. I will say it was strange bedfellows to see Gloria Allred on stage and Marjorie Taylor Greene on stage. And I'm thinking, you know, at the same press conference, and I'm like, wait, what, what's happening? That's like a JD Vance AOC unity ticket in 2028. I was like, wait a minute, hold on. What's happening here? But that just shows you the power of what their stories are all about. So we'll see. I, I think that discharge petition could happen, though. Mike Johnson is going to fight against it. Emily?

[Emily Finn]

Yeah, well, David, like you said, it was extraordinarily powerful, the press conference yesterday. And I think, you know, there's so many unanswered questions. A lot of people want accountability, they want justice, they, they want these files to be released. So I think there is a good chance that, that we will be seeing some more information come out. All right, in the meantime, let's check out today's Bible verse. It comes from John 8:12 and reads, Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. Always great to start the day with a Bible verse. But turning now from the Bible to today's headlines, President Trump is now saying he could send National Guard troops to New Orleans to clean up crime ahead of places like Chicago. Take a look at what he had to say.

[Bobby Charles]

Washington, D.C. is a totally safe city. You're not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%. And I said, no, it's not.

[David Brody]

It's down 100%.

[Bobby Charles]

We have a great thing going. I could do that with Chicago, we.

[Terrence Bates]

Could do that with New York, we.

[Bobby Charles]

Could do it with Los Angeles.

[Terrence Bates]

So we're making a determination now.

[David Brody]

Do we go to Chicago or do we go to A place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor.

[Bobby Charles]

Jeff Landry, who wants us to come in and straighten out a very nice.

[David Brody]

Section of this country that's become quite, you know, quite tough, quite bad.

[Bobby Charles]

So we're going to be going to maybe Louisiana, and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem. We'll straighten that out in about two weeks. It'll take us two weeks, easier than D.C. but we could straighten out Chicago. All they have to do is ask us to go into Chicago if we don't have the support of some of these politicians. But I'll tell you who is supporting us.

[David Brody]

The people of Chicago.

[Bobby Charles]

And I sort of want them to.

[Terrence Bates]

Let it be known they have income.

[Emily Finn]

For reaction, let's bring in Illinois Congresswoman Mary Miller. Congresswoman, thank you so much for joining American Sunrise this morning. Would you like to see the National Guard in Chicago?

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

We would love to see the national guard there. J.B. pritzker is a failed governor. He sides with thugs, gang bangers and illegals. And Chicago is a wonderful city with so much potential. But they have led the country in murders for 13 consecutive years. The murder rate in Chicago is 3 times the murder rate of Los Angeles, 5 times the murder rate of New York City, and 10 times 15 times the murder rate of the capital of India. Is that crazy or what? And J.B. pritzker a year ago was. Was all about having the National Guard come in to protect his buddies at the dnc. So he should swallow his pride and call President Trump.

[Terrence Bates]

All right? He should. He has publicly said that he will not do so. So how would President Trump go about mobilizing the National Guard in Chicago then, in the absence of support from the governor there, J.B. pritzker?

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Well, President Trump is. He has the responsibility, he even said it, to protect the American people. And if governors that are failed, like J.B. pritzker and the mayor of Chicago cannot protect the people, he does have a responsibility to come in there with the National Guard as an emergency. There is an emergency there, and I think he should come today. I think not one more person should die under J.B. pritzker's failed governorship.

[Terrence Bates]

The question, though, arises, though responsibility, and I fully agree with you. But the reality is this is probably going to end up in court if he were to mobilize the National Guard. I point to California as the most recent example where a federal judge said the president did not have authority to deploy National Guard troops in L. A. One would imagine that should he do so in Chicago, it'd be a Similar situation? No.

[Emily Finn]

Well, President Trump keeps on moving with.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

His agenda and to protect the American people, whether, you know, as lawfare is, you know, he's fighting that constantly in these judges.

[Emily Finn]

So I think that he'll move forward.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

And fight the courts.

[David Brody]

Okay, Congress. Congresswoman. Hey, David Brody here. So let's talk about the Epstein victims. They held that press conference after the House Oversight Committee released its latest dump of the Epstein files that they turned over from the doj. One of the victims is calling for more accountability. Let's take a look.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

And to those in power, hear us clearly.

[Emily Finn]

Do your job.

[David Brody]

Hey.

[Emily Finn]

Release what needs to be released.

[David Brody]

Yes.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

And hold those responsible, accountable.

[David Brody]

Survivors.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Sorry.

[Emily Finn]

Survivors deserve peace.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Survivors deserve truth.

[Emily Finn]

Survivors deserve justice.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

And to my fellow survivors, your voice matters, your story matters, and you matter. Together, we are louder than the silence.

[Emily Finn]

Together, we will not stop until justice is done.

[David Brody]

So, Congressman, what about this discharge petition? Are you for it? Do you think they'll get two more Republicans to back it? And I'm still trying to figure out this whole thing about the list. We hear there's not a list, but then these victims are saying, we're going to compile our own confidential list. And Marjorie Taylor Greene has said, if they give me permission, I'll tell you the names. If they give me permission, prohibition. What do you make of what's happening here?

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Well, there's a lot going on behind the scenes, but I think the American people need to remember that this is the most transparent administration that we've ever had. And I personally am going to hope and pray for transparency and for justice for these women.

[David Brody]

What does that mean exactly when you say hope and pray for transparency? Are you for the discharge petition or what do you want to see done?

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

I'm going to wait and see how President Trump leads on this issue. I want to say again, this is.

[Emily Finn]

The most transparent administration that we've ever had.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

So I believe that he's going to do what's right.

[Emily Finn]

You have to remember that there are.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Victims, that they don't want their names released. And we want to make sure that the victims are treated well and that innocent people aren't caught in some dragnet and their lives ruined.

[Emily Finn]

Also, Congresswoman, I do want to switch gears here for a moment and get your reaction to this NPR headline. It says a bipartisan bill to ban lawmakers from trading stocks is unveiled in the House. Speaker Johnson does support the ban. I want to get your reaction. Absolutely.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

I support it.

[Emily Finn]

Being in Congress is a place to.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Serve the American people, not to build some big stock portfolio. And it's absurd that people come with little net worth and leave multimillionaires.

[Emily Finn]

Obviously, it can cause conflict of interest.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

In a member's priorities out here.

[Emily Finn]

And it's unfair for them to have.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Insider information and then enrich themselves. I'm 100% for that.

[Terrence Bates]

Congresswoman, I can't let you go without talking about these appropriation bills. You and your colleagues are going to have to make some move. The conventional wisdom is that you're probably going to pass another cr, continue to kick the pan down the road. But there are a lot of American people who say let the government shut down so that we can pass these appropriation bills. Where do you stand on the issue? How do you expect to vote as we're now down to a, what, September 30th deadline or so?

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Well, we're going to have to pass the cr.

[Bobby Charles]

So.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

There'S a lot of things going on behind the scenes. But I want to remind the American people that President Trump did not create this problem. He inherited it. And Congress has to help him deal with the national debt. This is suffocating. And the national debt, plus what it's going to cost us to service the debt, will bring us down. So we're going to have to, you know, we're going to have to ratchet back our spending, which this administration and Congress, the Republicans are trying to do that.

[Terrence Bates]

So why can't you and your colleagues just pass the appropriation bills? And I ask this respectfully, but there are a lot of our viewers who say, well, just pass the appropriation bills and do your constitutional duty.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Well, first of all, everything has to go through the Senate. And I know on paper we have the majority, but we have people maybe on our side that won't vote for what the majority does. And we don't have. We only have a couple votes that we can give up. So it's very complicated. I'm super conservative. But we have people completely on the other side that say they're Republicans. So we have to deal with that and come together. So I think we're going to end.

[Bobby Charles]

Up passing a cr.

[Emily Finn]

Congresswoman Weller, we so appreciate your time. Thank you for joining the show this morning.

[Terrence Bates]

Thanks so much. You're welcome.

[David Brody]

Thanks.

[Emily Finn]

[David Brody]

No, that's New York. Oh, my gosh. There it is. Sorry, I now I put on my glasses. Oh, my gosh. I'm just getting old. I literally grew up in that city. I'm like, what is that city? You know, that's pretty pathetic. But then again, pretty much par for the course. That's Central Park. There it is. Is that Chicago? Sorry.

[Bobby Charles]

Together we can right the course of America.

[Terrence Bates]

As President Trump works to end deadly wars happening across the globe, he's simultaneously mounting a war against narco terrorists in Latin America. Both Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio say military operations against cartels will continue following Tuesday's strike on this Venezuelan boat allegedly carrying illegal drugs. Eleven people were killed as the president and other top administration officials watched the order being carried out.

[Bobby Charles]

We're sealing the border, but President Trump.

[David Brody]

Is willing to go on offense in ways that others have not been. And to send that clear signal to Trent, Aragua Cartel del Sols and others emanating from Venezuela. We're not going to allow this kind of activity. You're poisoning our people.

[Bobby Charles]

We've got incredible assets and they are.

[David Brody]

Gathering in the region. And so you want to try to traffic drugs.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

It's a new day.

[David Brody]

It's a different day. And so those 11 drug traffickers are no longer with us, sending a very clear signal that this is an activity the United States is not going to tolerate in our hemisphere.

[Terrence Bates]

And back on US Soil, President Trump continues to face legal battles. For one, the administration is reportedly planning to appeal a federal judge's Wednesday ruling that finds the Trump administration illegally cut more than 2.6 excuse me, billion dollars in research funding to Harvard University. In her ruling, the judge said the cuts amounted to illegal retaliation over Harvard's rejection of the Trump administration's demands for changes to the university's governance policies. You may remember President Trump called for the funding cuts in part due to the university's pattern of discrimination against Jewish students. In a separate case, the president is asking the U.S. supreme Court to allow him to continue with his tariff policies. The move comes after a federal appeals court found that 47's duties on imports to the United States are an illegal use of the emergency powers law that's being used to justify the tariffs. However, the tariffs do remain in place this morning until the issues are fully resolved. That's a quick check of your headlines. Now let's get you over to WEATHER nation, our friends there standing by, meteorologist Adrian Hernandez joining us. Adrian, good morning. Last week you and I were together here in our Denver studios. You're back in West Palm, and I'm sure it's much warmer there than it is here. It's about 60 degrees. Last check.

[Bobby Charles]

Wow, that is quite frigid. I don't know if I'd be able to last in temperatures that cool. But of course, down here in Florida, things are looking excessively warm, Terrance, and also excessively rainy. Looking at the national forecast here, we have two fronts. We're dealing with one that's well out over the Northeast and then another one kind of like a one two punch combo, so to speak. That second front, it's what's going to bring the more chances for severe weather. Here's Thursday highlighted in yellow, associated with the first front going over the Northeast. And then the second front, once it comes down later on into the work week and into the weekend. We have a better chance for severe weather on Friday. And of course, this includes hail, wind and the slight potential for tornadoes. And then on Saturday, highlighted in red as the front continues to move on towards the east. And this is going to be the big weather maker over the next couple days or so. We do have wind alerts up in the Dakotas and northern Montana associated with this front starting to dip down. It's going to bring high levels of wind chill and also high wind speeds. Those temperatures are really going to start to drop over by the Dakotas. Over in the Pacific Northwest, though, lots of heat. Kind of the polar opposite situation. A ridge of high pressure is just pushing all that heat down in that region and keeping that area very, very hot. But the good news is that some more storms are going to come in starting early next week and hopefully give them just the slightest bit of relief down there and over in some flood alerts down in the Southwest and closer to Southern California with some more monsoonal moisture in the mix. So here's a better look at the forecast precipitation over the next five days following the front. As you guys can see, most of the rain congregated over in Kentucky. But then another very obvious outlier. I've been living in south Florida my whole life, so I know that we're always the outlier. But looking at the rainfall forecast, precipitation, notice the red colors down in orange and red down in South Florida. Back to you, Terrence.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, Adrian. Appreciate it, my friend. We'll talk in about an hour or so. Coming up, as President Trump deploys the National Guard to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. crime statistics show an epidemic of under reporting of crime in moments. Why? The president says other states with surging violence could be seeing a federal response soon. First, though, a quick check of this day in history. It was on this date, way back in 1781, that Spanish settlers stumbled upon and then laid claim to what is now known as Los Angeles. Today, the city is the second most populated city in the United States. It also is home to Hollywood, whose name is synonymous with the American motion picture industry. More American Sunrise coming your way in two minutes.

And soon we might know you so well, Bobby, that we'll call you Bobster, but we'll call you Bobby for now. Thanks. Thanks for being here.

[Bobby Charles]

Always among friends. Great to be talking to you guys.

[David Brody]

All right, well, Bobby, let's talk crime. You know, we've heard a lot about how President Trump is planning to send the National Guard into Chicago, Baltimore, et cetera, as in hellhole. But what's going on in blue states like Maine, where you're from? I mean, is help there needed as well? Good morning to you.

[Bobby Charles]

You know, good morning to all of you. I personally think it is. And to be honest, we're in a position right now where governors can take a lesson, I think, from Donald Trump. What has he done using Title 10? He has made DC safer. And frankly, every single, every single governor has the right under Title 32 to mobilize the National Guard in support of law enforcement. And I spent years working behind the scenes with the National Guard. Bottom line is they are well positioned to stabilize things in Maine. We don't have as high a crime rate in terms of the, you know, the Riot type activity. But we have a very high undisclosed crime rate. I mean, people underreport dramatically in this state. And we have a rising, really overwhelming tide of drug trafficking in this. We have four or five of the major drug trafficking groups are here. We've had, I mean, I hate to say it, but I repeat the issue a lot, but we have extraordinary numbers of drug overdoses between fatal and non fatal. 10,000 overdoses last year in the state of Maine, just intolerably high. So it's, you know, there's, there's a, there's an epidemic, and I think you all alluded to it before, there's an epidemic of underreported crime. But if you ask the average Mainer on any given day in Bangor or in Portland or South Portland or Lewiston, if there's a crime issue, there's a major crime issue.

[Terrence Bates]

So if and when elected, how would you propose working with the federal government, with federal agencies to deal with, let's say, the drug trafficking? You mentioned that you've got several major drug trafficking cartels that are operating there in Maine. How do you propose working with the federal authorities to try to get that problem under control?

[Bobby Charles]

So let me give you two answers to that, Terrence, because the real question that you've just asked is how do you make that, how do you turn it around and work with the federal government? The answer is you have to get high intensity drug trafficking designations for all 6, 16 counties in this state. You've got to bring the resources in here from justice and from ondcp and then, you know, all of that is to get law enforcement back in a position of some authority. They've really undermined the Democrats have dramatically undermined the authority of law enforcement. I could give you 20 or 30 different regulations they're under that prevents them from actually doing their job. And then you need to upfund them, improve recruiting and retention. Ultimately what you're doing is you're rebuilding trust inside the state and using the federal government's resources as they offer them to be able to create joint interagency task forces that have the power to turn the volume down on crime. Having said all of that, one of the other things we've got to do is understand that people in the end, crime breaking or crime getting after drug traffickers only really works if people trust the law enforcement community and trust that they have their backs. And I personally have had great experiences with the law enforcement community. I think most Mainers have. But you have to rebuild the lost trust here in the state because People are fearful and they're fearful of reporting. I mean, we have 300 of these Chinese drug trafficking houses here. We have Dominican drug traffickers, the Trinitarios, all over the state. Just last week we had two or three shootouts and taking down stash houses. We have car chases that involve shootouts. And in cities and towns around the state like Rumford, which are not known to be big, they really are not publicly understood to be big hubs for drug trafficking, and yet they are. So one of the things you've got to do is you've got to get the connectivity back between the state and in this case, the Trump administration, the federal government, so that we can get that support. The other is you have to build public trust. And that is a very difficult thing to do in a state where we have, I mean, it's a national problem, but it's also a state problem. Particularly in rural states. We have 60% of the violent crime goes unreported, 70% of property crime goes unreported. And in our state, we have a particularly difficult time with kids and, and children crimes against. We had, you know, as the foster care System showed a 15% decline in a recent study in crimes against children. Maine showed a 40% increase in crimes against children. So we have a lot of unreported crime. And you have to just, you have to re. Empower people to take it to law enforcement and then re. Empower law enforcement to address it.

[Emily Finn]

You bring up this trust in law enforcement. I think that's why we've seen in so many of these cities, in Los Angeles, in particular Chicago, these lawmakers pushing back because there simply isn't that trust. You, you had mentioned this, but how do you rebuild it when you have to also address the immediate crime situation?

[Bobby Charles]

And it's a good question and I want to be clear about it. The trust in law enforcement in Maine is high, but the overall reach of law enforcement, their ability to get to a scene in northern Maine is very, very difficult. I mean, it can take an hour, it could take two hours to get to a place because they've dramatically cut the reach, the access that people have. And we've got a lot of problems up here, but one of them is that people didn't and don't trust the political leadership in a state. You know, our capital is Augusta, and the governor and the Democrat legislature have betrayed their trust on everything from taxes to drug trafficking. And so they don't trust their political leadership. On the law enforcement side. They obviously do trust their law enforcement presence. But the problem is you have to get them there. And we've not had an increase in the patrols for the northern part of the state for our State Police since 1977. They are undermanned. Portland, one of our major cities, really the largest city in Maine, Portland, which sucks down again, about 60 or 70 or 80% of some of the Maine program money that the state generates. That city right now is 30 to 50 officers undermanned.

[David Brody]

Wow, Bobby Charles, making such headway out there in Maine as you run for governor. We appreciate you as always. Thanks for being here.

[Bobby Charles]

Thank you all so much. Yes, sir.

[David Brody]

All right. Welcome back to American Sunrise. Thank you so much for joining us. It is time now for today's health news, sponsored by the Wellness Company. And under the microscope today, beet juice. A new study is highlighting a natural way to lower blood pressure in older adults, and it is beet juice. Researchers found that one glass a day significantly improves blood pressure and by changing the oral microbiome, that's the balance of good and bad bacteria in the mouth. The findings suggest diet can have a faster, stronger impact than many realize. And it's a reminder that food can be powerful medicine. While 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 is, however, that there is only so much the government can do and that if we really want to make America healthy again, that starts at home with each and every one of us. That's where the Wellness Company comes in. You see and hear from TWC doctors all the time on this network and you know that their products are the gold standard for keeping you and your family safe and healthy.

That's TWC Health RAV and use the promo code RAV to save 10%. Now let's send it over to David Brody.

[David Brody]

All right. I appreciate it, Emily. Let's talk more about Epstein speaking about wellness checks. Let's check on the wellness of the Republican Party right now. T. BATES let's talk more. We had Mary Miller at the top of the show, the congresswoman. Look, she's clearly not going to support that discharge petition. I mean, I think that's pretty clear. And she's waiting for President Trump. She says to take the lead. But here's the thing. I mean, he's calling it a hoax. I don't know if I would use the word hoax. I think what it is, it's a Democrat political stunt. There's no doubt they're taking advantage of this whole situation. I don't know about it being a hoax. What's your take on what we're seeing right now, too?

[Terrence Bates]

BATES yeah, so I agree with you. I don't believe it's a hoax. People were victimized. I think that was clear based on based on what we saw yesterday. 10 witnesses, 10 victims, excuse me, spoke during that news conference. You and I have been talking about this all morning. And really this is a situation, I would argue, of Republicans making specifically Pam Bondi. She came out and said, I'm going to release information. And then she backs she, you know, stopped and didn't do it. She wasn't clear. And I think, unfortunately, the impact of that is that people aren't going to trust anything that has ultimately come out. And even beyond that, you know, earlier this week, the House Oversight Committee let out about 33,000 pages of documents. Most of it, though, wasn't really anything new. It was what we already knew and what was already in the public realm. And so I think those are the sorts of things that create more questions because we're not getting the answers. I, in my opinion, and I'd love to get your thought, this could have very easily been handled simply by the Justice Department releasing everything that it had, or as much as it had and as it possibly could release, and, and moving forward, the argument is always, oh, well, we don't want to put people out there just because their name is associated this with this. The accusation alone could be lasting. I get all of that. But to quote Dr. Gina, in the interest of justice and pursuing people who truly might have victimized someone, I could see it being worth it. Maybe you disagree on that, David.

[David Brody]

Well, that is a good question, Tbates, because here's part of the problem. The DOJ never really articulated what you just said there. I mean, they kind of did. They said, you know, we're a little concerned about putting names out there, but what is this really about? I mean, to me, help me if I'm wrong here, it's about lawsuits. I mean, they're concerned about lawsuits. I mean, if you start putting out names of people that were associated with Jeffrey Epstein, I'm assuming the government is concerned about these folks saying, well, wait a minute, you're putting my name out there in the court of public opinion and you've got no proof. I mean, so you have to. It's one thing to say, hey, I was with Epstein or there's allegations made against me. It's another thing prosecuting the case. But I feel like we haven't even heard that argument much from the doj. They've been kind of flat footed on this, and I think that's what Bongino, Dan Bongino, the associate director of the FBI, has some issues with. Like, this was just not handled. Well, my other issue here is, like, we keep hearing about protecting victims, and of course, everybody wants to protect the victims, but let's be honest, we also hear about client list and we hear about files, but can we just, like, cut to the chase? What people want are names. That's what it is. It's not files or list. They want names who was, who was hanging. Not just hanging with Epstein. It's not about hanging with Epstein. Like these, these victims yesterday. Yeah, these victims yesterday. They know the names. They said it. They know the names, and they're going to compile a list privately. Okay, well, I'm not trying to diss them or anything. I get it. Privately, but like, where is that? They want Congress to release These names publicly, why are these names still not being released? I mean, there's just. There's people obviously covering up here to make sure that these names never get released.

[Terrence Bates]

See, and my thing just to add to that is context is everything. But as the doj, you have an opportunity to add context. If you think that simply a name being named could. Could be a public indictment, then add the context based on the investigation that you have such and such was named. Here's what our investigation found about this person's involvement, whatever it may be. Give context. As the Department of Justice, you've got the investigators, you've got the staffing to offer up that context, if that is a concern. Yeah.

[David Brody]

And also, let's remember, what's the harm in releasing the files? It's not like the DOJ is coming out and saying these 7 to 10 to 50 to 100 to 300 people we've got real issues with. They're not saying that. They're saying just. Just release the files. Let us see some names. There are clearly names in there. Now, I know some of its grand jury testimony, and there's issues with the judges there, but I'm still trying to figure out, where are these names other than in the grand jury testimony? I mean, other than that. Does the deal is the DOJ literally sitting on names that were around Epstein? I mean, that's been always the view here that they have names and they're just not giving it to us. And if they. And if they don't have names, they should say it, but they do.

[Terrence Bates]

But here's the thing. If they don't have names, then what harm is it in releasing the documents? If there are no names in there, then release the documents. What harm is it? If there are names, then release the documents. And hopefully. And I do trust the American people enough to be able to read through the. Through the entire thing and not just pick a name, but read through the documentation that's part of the investigation for a clear perspective on why the name is in the document and what the association between Epstein and that specific person might be. I trust people enough. I would read far enough into it. Just my choice.

[David Brody]

100%, no. And I'd like to give us both a compliment because I thought that was great analysis by both of us. So thank you and thanks for joining me on American Sunrise. I was just kidding.

[Bobby Charles]

I'm just playing.

[David Brody]

All right, coming up, forget cold cuts. I know you like cold cuts. Let's talk about Coldplay and their failure in moments. Find out how their frontman turned his concert into a political lecture and an international embarrassment. And Israel, of course, the focus that story on American Sunrise when we return.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

[Emily Finn]

Welcome back to American Sunrise. It is time to stay awake, not woke. And now that we are caffeinated, who is woke? Today, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The singer is under fire after humiliating two young Israeli fans during a Wembley Stadium concert. Martin brought them up on stage and asked where they were from. He then told them he was grateful they were here as equal humans on earth. Drawing booze from the crowd, Martin pivoted to welcoming Palestinians in the crowd as well. Take a look at how all of this played out.

[Bobby Charles]

Where did you come from today? From Israel.

[Terrence Bates]

Okay, well, well, okay, well, listen, I'm gonna say this.

[Bobby Charles]

I'm very grateful that you're here as.

[David Brody]

Humans, and I'm treating you as equal humans on Earth, regardless of where you.

[Terrence Bates]

Come from or don't come from. Thank you for being here.

[Bobby Charles]

We're grateful.

[Terrence Bates]

And thank you for being loving, kind.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

And although it's controversial, maybe I also.

[David Brody]

Want to welcome people in the audience.

[Terrence Bates]

From Palestine because we have a belief that we're all equally human.

[Emily Finn]

Jewish fans and commentators blasted the move as dehumanizing, saying Martin made Israelis feel conditionally tolerated and guilty of simply being Jewish. Critics accused him of ignoring Hamas hostages and bowing to anti Israel sentiment. Let's bring in David and Terrence for discussion. Terrance, what say you about this?

[Terrence Bates]

Yeah, it just didn't come off well. I think I get what he was trying to do. He was trying to appeal to all fans, but it fell terribly flat. And David, really, I'm more curious about your perspective, and I'm sorry, but given your Jewish heritage, I'd like to know how you see all of this and how it came across to you.

[David Brody]

Yeah, well, I'm kind of tracking with what you're Saying, I mean, I think he was trying to kind of thread the needle a little bit. Yeah. There. And so I, I get that. I, I think what was telling in the video is that when he asked where they're from and they said Israel, he went, his first reaction was like, oh, oh, like that's controversial. Why is that controversial? Shouldn't be controversial. Of course we know why it is, because the world thinks Israel's the devil. But, you know, stop believing the world because the world can be wrong. This just then. So, so I just didn't kind of like his reaction there, there. And then this idea of the human aspect of it, like that was. I mean, it's, it's a little too, like we're all human. Like, as in life lesson, I'm going to treat you as human. So the part he didn't say is. Which was implied, which is I'm treating you as a human. So maybe you could treat the folks in got in Gaza as humans as well. He didn't say that, but that was the implication of all of that. So I, I understand. Okay, look, there's a sensitivity in all of this, right? And so I get it. I don't think it was outrageous anything that he said necessarily. I think what was more disturbing to me is, and I knew this would happen, the booze coming from the crowd and the cheers for Palestinians because were they. They think they're cheering for the Palestinians. Okay, you're cheering for Hamas. I'm sorry. Because guess what? 67 to 70% of those Palestinians voted for Hamas. They voted for Hamas. Now some will say, oh, it's because, you know, they were forced to, or, you know, they had to, yada, yada, yada. They voted for, they voted for this type of stuff. So that's.

[Terrence Bates]

See, David, your perspective is interesting to me because. And again, there's no right and wrong here. I don't think the way I perceived what was said was that he was trying to humanize everyone, saying, hey, I see your humanity. I know what's happened in your country, and I see your humanity. And then I think he tried to hedge by saying, and to my Palestinian fans, I also see your humanity. That's how I took it. But I think it fell flat because he didn't have to go there. He could have just said, thank you so much for being here. Welcome, you know, we appreciate you being here. Moved on. And he created a completely different conversation by adding all those extra things in. Go ahead, David. I'm sorry, you were going to say.

[David Brody]

I just want to Quickly say that. You know, I. I don't defend Israel just because I'm Jewish, quite frankly, my heritage, I grew up Jewish, but I grew up in a liberal Jewish household, Reformed Judaism. And, you know, if you. If you. Not to invoke my family members, but I'll just talk about Reform Judaism writ large. A lot of them are very pro Palestinian. Most of them are the liberal Jews. That's how I grew up. So it's more of the poor Palestinians, not we love the Jews as much. So I just want to be clear about that. What makes me defend Israel is my Christian Zionist beliefs that came when I gave my life to Christ in 1988. So I just want to be clear on that, though. Obviously Judaism plays a part in it, but my Judaism heritage was from a Reformed Judaism perspective, which is liberal and it's not conservative or orthodox at all.

[Terrence Bates]

And to be on the record, David, I asked you that question, and maybe it was insensitive. If so, I apologize. But I think you've got a unique perspective, a perspective that I don't share, similar to if we were talking about an issue related to African Americans. I think my perspective would be unique, something, you know, that would be different than anyone else on the panel. And so that was what, informed questioning. And again, if it was taken out of context, I apologize.

[David Brody]

No, it's all good. My ancestry. No, my ancestry. DNA test literally came up 100% Ashkenazi Jew. You know how, like, you have 8% of this, 12% of this. No, not me. 100% Ashkenazi Jew. There you go. And that's the end of that.

[Emily Finn]

Well, Coldplay got quite the discussion going this morning, that's for sure. All right. We do have more coming up on American Sunrise. It is our daily moment of faith. Where does the anointing actually come from? In moments. Find out why real power doesn't come from hardship, but from a higher source. Founder of Revival Today, Jonathan Shuttlesworth joins us to discuss right after the break. Stay with us.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Hey there. I'm Mary Kathryn Ham. And I'm Carol Markowitz. We've been in political media for a long time. Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. That's why we started Normalely a podcast.

[David Brody]

Bless the USA in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.

[Emily Finn]

Welcome back to American Sunrise. It is time now for our moment of faith, brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible in focus Today, faith leader Jonathan Shuttlesworth is challenging the popular belief that strength and spiritual power come from enduring hardship. In a recent post on X, he said true anointing doesn't come from being pressed by life struggles, but instead flows from a higher divine source. He writes, quote, people teach the anointing comes from being pressed by hardship. Not true. The Bible says the anointing comes from the Holy Spirit. It's not manufactured by paint. Fire tests gold, but it doesn't make gold. Trials don't create the anointing, they reveal it. Be encouraged. You don't need more crushing to be useful. Stop glorifying the pressure and start glorifying the God who put the Holy Spirit within you. Let's welcome to American Sunrise the man himself, Jonathan Shuttlesworth. Thank you so much for joining the show this morning. You are the founder of Revival Today and I think this post on X was so thought provoking. I want you to expound a little bit further, especially on the part where you say that trials don't create the anointing, they reveal it. Tell us more about what you meant here.

[David Brody]

I've been hearing a lot of people.

[Bobby Charles]

In church that preach tell people that God needs to, you know, like how you crush an olive oil. That's what brings an olive, that's what brings the olive oil out. That's why God has to do things.

[David Brody]

Whether it's sickness or bad things, because.

[Bobby Charles]

It'Ll develop his presence and power in you. And I don't like that because it's not scriptural. The anointing, like you read, is a.

[David Brody]

Is a product of God's spirit living in you.

[Bobby Charles]

And God doesn't use bad things on.

[David Brody]

His children to develop his character.

[Bobby Charles]

He uses his word and his spirit.

[David Brody]

So if people start expecting that God.

[Bobby Charles]

Who'S a good father, is going to start making their life miserable, then they.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Actually have nothing in them to fight.

[David Brody]

Against the trials of life because they.

[Bobby Charles]

Think God's using cancer. God used a car accident, the devil, you know, they call it the gospel. In one verse, John 10:10, the thief.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Comes to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus said, I have come that you.

[Bobby Charles]

Might have life and have it more abundantly.

[Terrence Bates]

So I just wrote that to encourage.

[Bobby Charles]

People that are going through a hard time. God is the source of your help.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Not the one who's looking to hurt you.

[Emily Finn]

And it's interesting you bring that up because, you know, through hardship, so many people, you know, that's the time that they end up going to church. They end up praying more. They end up leaning on God and needing help and really needing to lean on their faith. Jonathan Shuttlesworth, I so appreciate your time this morning. Thank you for joining us.

[Bobby Charles]

Great seeing you again. Have a great week.

[Emily Finn]

You too. Be sure to tune in to Revival today this Sunday morning at 9am here on RAV. We'll be back with the second hour of American Sunrise in just two minutes. Stick around.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Hey there. I'm Mary Kathryn Ham. And I'm Carol Markowitz. We've been in political media for a long time, long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. That's why we started Normalely a podcast.

[David Brody]

For people who are over the hysteria.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

And just want clarity. We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people. Catch new episodes of normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

[Emily Finn]

Coming up on American Sunrise, victims of Jeffrey Epstein gather in Washington, D.C. demanding President Trump unseal the full Epstein files, just as he once again labels the case a Democrat hoax. Plus, only two more Republicans stand between a forced House vote on transparency. The bipartisan push for justice is gaining momentum. And a former Biden White House aide accuses squad member Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of abandoning her district's priorities in favor of an activist agenda. The question where does representing constituents end and activism begin? And later, President Trump is putting pressure on Hamas to Release the remaining 20 Israeli hostages in moments. See his post on Trip Social directed at the terror group. Those stories and so much more as the second hour of American Sunrise starts right now.

[David Brody]

Good morning, America.

[Emily Finn]

Welcome to American Sunrise.

[Terrence Bates]

Whether it's culture, we have breaking news.

[David Brody]

To share with you.

[Terrence Bates]

Politics.

[David Brody]

President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

[Terrence Bates]

We've got you covered.

[David Brody]

This is what it looks like to.

[Terrence Bates]

Be a we have to protect the American family.

[Emily Finn]

The American dream is still alive.

[David Brody]

I'm David Brody.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm terrence.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

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 the deep state guarded by the National Guard. Let's bring in T. Bates in our Denver newsroom, Emily Finn, filling in for Dr. G down in West Palm. Good morning to both of you. You. Can I just say, as you look in the chat, it's amazing. The chat is. It's just a phenomenal place. I was on the YouTube chat. We got getter, we got rumble, all of that. You got to join us. They're talking about Epstein, talking about news of the day, talking about Judaism. And then it always transitions into pizza. You know who's the best? Pizza. Emily, where are you on this? Are you Chicago as well?

[Emily Finn]

I'm gonna have to go with Chicago. Yeah, that is. That is the best. I lived there for a few years.

[David Brody]

It's been a pleasure. All right, goodbye.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, let you and I move on because he obviously has no taste.

[David Brody]

No, no, hold on. New York, New York.

[Terrence Bates]

Papa John's pizza is better than New York pizza in my book. I mean, I'll just go there while he gets set. Let me just get game at one of the Internet's most powerful gatekeeper keepers. Excuse me. And that would be Wikipedia. House Oversight Chairman. House House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Representative N. Nancy Mace are demanding answers about what they believe is anti Israel bias and alleged anti Semitism. They're also calling for an investigation into alleged foreign propaganda in the site's editing practices. The lawmakers want internal records, IP data and documents that could expose editors who may be tied to state sponsored disinformation campaigns. A recent Anti Defamation League report flagged concerns about the site. Another from the Atlantic Council warned of Russian manipulation through AI. Wikipedia actually claims the accusations are unsupported, though Florida's changing political demographic is leading to even more freedom in the so called free state. It's now set to become the first state to end all state vaccine mandates.

[Bobby Charles]

It's wrong.

[David Brody]

It's immoral.

[Terrence Bates]

They do not have the right to.

[David Brody]

Tell you what you put in your body.

[Bobby Charles]

People have a right to make their.

[Terrence Bates]

Own decisions, informed decisions.

[Bobby Charles]

You want to put, you know, whatever.

[Terrence Bates]

Different vaccines in your body.

[Bobby Charles]

God bless you.

[Terrence Bates]

I hope you make an informed decision. You don't want to put whatever vaccines in your body. God bless you and I hope you.

[Bobby Charles]

Make an informed decision.

[Terrence Bates]

Governor Ron DeSantis says the effort coincides with the establishment of the Florida Maha Commission. He describes it as a working group that will recommend state level integration of Make America healthy principles including individual medical freedom and parent rights. Initially the Florida Department of Health plans to roll back mandates on about a half dozen vaccines under its authority. Beyond that, the department will work with the Republican majority Florida Legislature on a broader package of reforms.

[David Brody]

All right.

[Terrence Bates]

That's a quick check of your headlines. Now let's get you back over to Adrian Hernandez, our friends from over at Weather Nation with a quick check of your nationwide forecast. Adrian, good morning. Where can I go for a little cool down? It's football season now and I can't stand watching football games when it's 85, 90 degrees still at 7 o' clock at night.

[Bobby Charles]

Thanks, Terence. And yeah, well, actually a great way, a great place maybe to check out a football game. I don't know if the packers are going to be playing, but but up by Wisconsin, things are really going to start to cool down, Terrence, and a lot of that is going to be due to these two fronts. We're actually going to be watching one larger one that's out over by the Northeast now and then another one that's going to be sweeping through most of the northern portions of the nation later on this work week and well into your weekend, bringing the chances for some severe weather. Here's a severe outlook for Thursday. Here's that yellow here, the yellow coloring. That's the first front and then the second front once it does pass through. We have more severe outlooks in the coming days and and even some more severe outlooks today associated with the front. I was just mentioning the second one that's going to be passing through most of the spots over later on this work week and then over by Saturday as that second front pushes out further towards east, maybe some better chances for something severe over in Washington. Looking at the national alerts right now, we do have heat alerts out in the Pacific Northwest out west, though a little bit further east. Excuse me, we do have wind alerts associated with that second front as it pushes down. It's going to be a windy one. So some of these areas here in the Dakota is picking up some wind chill values, low as 30 to 40 degrees. It's going to be nice and frigid for those guys early on this morning. And then down south in the southwest we do have some flood alerts starting to rip by forecast precipitation over the next five days. You see it's kind of hugging the front there as we continue on. As it continues out east, the highest concentration of rain everywhere else but Florida is actually here in Kentucky, eastern Kentucky, anywhere from about about 2 to maybe 3 inches of rain is possible. But around most of the areas here, anywhere from about an inch, maybe to an inch and a half is expected. But of course, like all great things, South Florida always seems to be the outlier. As we take a little bit of a closer look, we see most of the forecast of precipitation. Actually the highest values in the entire nation over the next five days is right down here in West Palm. We can see anywhere from about 5, maybe closer to 5, 6 inches of rain expected. All these yellow coloring showing me about three inches of rain. And then it stays a little bit lower as we go a little bit further up the panhandle. Want to throw it back to you, Terrence.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, Adrian. Appreciate it, my friend. All right, folks, let's get you back over to Emily now. Emily, good morning.

[Emily Finn]

Good morning to you, Terrence. Thank you. Well, we want to get to some top headlines. Yesterday on Capitol Hill, Epstein survivors were speaking out publicly, many for the first time. Lawmakers from both parties held a joint presser, including Representative Thomas Massie and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. It comes after House Republicans released 33,000 documents on Epstein. Democrats call it a distraction, but the victims say they want transparency, not politics. Does this move help or hurt Trump, or is that missing the point entirely? For that question, let's welcome to American Sunrise, Republican strategist and the host of the 13 Minute NewsHour, Bobby Eberle. Bobby, so great to have you in studio with us today. Want to get your reaction to the presser yesterday.

[Bobby Charles]

Thanks, Emily. Yeah, I thought the press conference was incredible. I've been pushing for this for a long time. Anything, anything that you can do to get justice for these victims and to find out who is behind this massive trafficking scheme, that's what we should be doing now. The Oversight committee is doing a great job. They're doing their thing. But you know, how many times have we seen oversight investigations from Benghazi to Hillary Clinton to Hunter Biden crime family, and nothing's come of it. Absolutely nothing has come of it. So to get this into some congressional members that are very motivated and very focused and to get those, the victims to actually have a voice, I always talk about being the voice for the victims. Well, these victims are speaking out for themselves, which I think is phenomenal. So let's keep it going. And I hope, you know, to answer your question on the lead in, you know, that Trump is truly on board with this. It's not a hoax. It's for real. And it's one of the galvanizing points of the movement as far as getting rid of the deep State and looking for accountability and transparency and more power to this movement, for sure.

[Terrence Bates]

Bobby, you used the word galvanizing, bringing people together. It seems to me that the Republican Party would be more galvanized, would be more united behind this. But the reality is it's not. How do you explain that away?

[Bobby Charles]

You know what? I think it's. I hate to say this, but I think it's criticism from the top. I really think that this is a galvanizing movement or issue for the movement. And, you know, we talked about it. One of the first things in the first month, you know, was this meeting with phase one of the Epstein files, the binders, and people were saying, hey, okay, that's phase one. You don't label it that unless there's a phase two and phase three and you keep going forward. So people are expecting real results from a new doj, a new FBI, and just this new attitude in town. So I think if we just get the leadership and from the top, all the way in the administration to get on board with this and come what may, as far as whose names are released or where this goes, that's what is owed the American people.

[David Brody]

You know, we do straight talk here. So let's go to straight talk. You said leadership at the top. We're talking about President Trump. If President Trump had said, let's get this done, kind of like the one big beautiful bill and he got it by July 4th, if he said on this situation, let's get this done, you know, you would have dozens and dozens and dozens, oh, and dozens of Republicans saying, absolutely, let's get this done. Instead, he's kind of quashing it.

[Bobby Charles]

Yeah. And it's really tough because on the Ro Khanna and Massie side of it, as they're pushing this resolution, this bill, you know, they need support. They need Republican support. And to your point, David, if President Trump would come out and say, yes, we ran on this, because they did this was an issue as far as accountability and transparency. We need to get this done, and we need to get this done in two weeks. As far as a step by step release of information, they could get it done, there's no doubt in my mind. Instead we're calling it a hoax. Instead, hey, let's, you know, taking time in media interviews to say, let's move on. Why are people fixated on this, that it doesn't sit well? And one thing we've learned is that the MAGA movement, it's not a cult. We are committed to the America first agenda and we'll speak out. And this is one that has really gotten people to speak out.

[David Brody]

I just want to quickly say, Emily, I know we have to move on, but thank you for saying that it's not a cult because of course, the Democrats and the media think it is. And this is a great example, exhibit A as to it's not a cult. Look, people are going to speak out about this. If Trump feels differently, he feels differently. So what? It's not a cult. We're not following Trump. We're following. We're following principle here. Emily, please go ahead.

[Emily Finn]

We do want to move on to some more headlines here, Bobby. President Trump taking a truth social to put pressure on Hamas. Trump was writing, quote, tell Hamas to immediately give back all 20 hostages, not two or five or seven. And things will change rapidly. It will end. Want to get your reaction to this as well, Bobby.

[Bobby Charles]

Well, you know, this one is something that, you know, from the very beginning, the hostages were taken and, you know, we had the Biden administration in place with the Trump administration. Let's sit down. Let's get the hostages back before we do anything else. Before we do anything else. But, you know, it comes to the question that is raised, you know, do they want to stop? I mean, what is the end goal, you know, obviously, or actually for Israel? Is it the hostages? If it is, I hope so, because the killing needs to stop. And I believe that if the president, again, comparing it to the other issue, if the president puts some force here and says, we need to sit down, we need to get these hostages back before we do any other negotiation on what the future of Gaza is, if there's relocation, what's happening to the Palestinians, all of that hinges on this. The president has shown his force both on foreign policy and domestic policy. Let's get this done.

[Terrence Bates]

To your point, it seems like this needs to be kind of the posture, if you will, on all of the critical foreign policy issues, be it Russia, Ukraine, be it China, draw a line in the sand and say, look, it's time to put up or shut up.

[Bobby Charles]

Yes. Yeah, exactly. And we've seen that. We've seen the force of these bilateral trilateral meetings. When the President, President steps forward, the European Union can say all it wants. You know, other countries can say what they want, Israel can say what it wants. But it's not until the American people, the American public, through the Trump administration, steps forward and says, we will lead, we will get this done. America first advances by having peace in the Middle east and peace with Russia, Ukraine. So let's get it Done. If he keeps his foot on the gas here, I think we can see some movement.

[David Brody]

By the way, Bobby, what do you think of what's going on with this supposed plan to reinvent the Gaza Strip into, like, the Riviera, the Middle East? That seems dicey. I understand that America wouldn't necessarily spend any taxpayer dollars on this, but if they're gonna have some ownership in some sort of corporation, I don't know, I'm a little wary of that.

[Bobby Charles]

Yeah, well, I've got to fall on your side on this as far as being dicey because, again, it calls into question motivations and motivations from the very beginning, like, do you want the hostages back, or did you just want to clear out Gaza to make it the next Las Vegas or the next Dubai? You know, and with this kind of talk, it's like, I'd rather see make sure that the Palestinians are taking care of that Hamas destroyed, that the hostages are returned. Those steps, get those done and put America first, and then we'll see what we can do to bring stability to the Middle East.

[David Brody]

Yeah. Bobby Eberle, great to have you with us. Thanks. Steve right there in West Palm. Appreciate you.

[Terrence Bates]

Thanks, Bobby.

[Bobby Charles]

Thanks, Steve.

[David Brody]

All right. Still ahead on American Sunrise, a Colorado father with a spinal cord injury working to fulfill his dream of walking his daughter down the the aisle. It's all thanks to a Denver neurosurgeon. And actually, it might be possible. We'll talk about it first, though. A former Biden staffer just put Rashida Tlaib on blast, saying she's gone rogue and left her district behind. We're spilling some tea, and that tea is hot this morning. Stay with us. American Sunrise returning on Thursday. After this, everybody.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

At a pro Palestinian conference in Detroit, Tlaib accused Israel of rape, murder and starvation, then shouted, we're just getting started. Take a look. We aren't going anywhere. We are just getting started.

[Terrence Bates]

I want to say to all of.

[David Brody]

Them, every genocide enabler, look at this room's we ain't going anywhere.

[Emily Finn]

Wow. Now a former Biden staffer is calling her out saying she's abandoned her district to play activist in chief. No comment yet from Tlaib. We want to know what you think. Hop on to rumble and get her and let your voice be heard. Still ahead on American Sunrise, we're headed down to Wall street for the opening bell and insight into how to hold on to your hard earned dollars with some common sense. We'll be back with more American Sunrise in just two minutes.

[Terrence Bates]

Foreign we're showing you this picture because the NFL season kicks off tonight. It's the Eagles versus the Cowboys. And yes, I am a cowboy hater. If you're a Cowboy fan, I'm sorry for you, but I root for anyone who's playing against the Cowboys. Plus, I like Jalen Hurts. I think the kid has a great story and so I'm always going to root for Jalen Hurts. Anyway, Cowboys, Eagles, they play tonight. I went far too much into sports. We're getting you ready for the opening bell at the new York Stock Exchange. So we're going to go down 95 a little bit to New York here in just a little bit for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. I can tell you pre market trading not looking so hot on the Dow. It is currently in the red. The S P500 and the NASDAQ currently in the green. The rest of the board is in the red, though. Hopefully all of that will change here in short order. Once again, we'll take you to the New York Stock Exchange for the opening bell in just a few minutes. But now, now let's get you over to David. David Brody, good morning. Hopefully it will be a better season for your New York Jets. I'm not so positive it will be, but I'm hopeful for you.

[David Brody]

The best part of the New York jets season is when we're 0 and 0. That pretty much is the best part of our season. And then it goes downhill from there. By the way, I knew. I mean, we just love each other. T. Bates but the Cowboy hate. I am with you on that. So. You know what? I hate the Cowboys too. I mean, in a Christian way I hate them. But yes, I hate them.

[Terrence Bates]

Yeah, I'm with you.

[David Brody]

All right.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm with you. And we'll just leave it there. Let's just leave it there.

[David Brody]

Unless you want to talk about the Bears, but let's not do that. Maybe, should we? No, maybe not. All right, we'll come back. It's time for my single. It's time for my close up. I kind of like it. All right, now it's time for our daily dose of dollars and common sense with American Sunrise early edition host and the guy behind Jake's Takes Sub stack. Substack. Did I say that? Yeah. Correct. Substack. That'd be Jake Novak, a long suffering Jet fan, along with me, Jake, we'll get to the NFL in a mom moment. Let's start with the big break Google just got in the federal courts. Tell us more.

[Bobby Charles]

Yeah, let me just say this straight up. Google is a monopoly. It's a terrible monopoly. It's a publishing monopoly. You don't really exist if you're not primarily featured or prominently featured on Google search. We all know that's true. I know there are other search engines and I love them. But Google's still dominant. The courts, basically, they gave them a big break. Yes, they admitted that they are basically a monopoly. They've committed a lot of antitrust violations. But they spared Google earlier this week from the worst kinds of punishments. Although I got to put worse with an ask for. In other words, they didn't break the company up. They didn't say. Also say they didn't. They don't have to sell off their. Their Chrome browser. All these things. To me, if you think those are financial hits that Google will take, you'd be wrong. When a company is split up like this, actually its shareholders end up making more money, but they lose their power. You know those top executives at Alphabet, which is the parent company of Google, it's about their power. They're willing to forego that extra money, but because they didn't get that punishment, the stock's been up this week. It's been a big reason why tech sector has been strong so far this week. In this abbreviated week, the courts basically have hands off with President Trump, you know, they're all hands in his business. But with the tech sector, they want to keep their hands off. And that doesn't smell too good to me. I think that has a lot to do with the financial aspects of this. It's an ugly situation. Google's a monopoly. Amazon is monopoly. We have broken up monopolies in this country for weaker reasons than we see right now with Google and Amazon. I'd like to see them broken up. We can have another discussion about that. But suffice it to say, leaving them alone has left the power struggle at the, at the top of those businesses in a pretty good shape. And they and their stocks are up this week.

[David Brody]

Yeah. And these monopolies still pass. Go and collect more than $200. That is no doubt about it. All right, Jake, the tariffs, they've acted as a true test, some business plans, but they have also started to expose a few things about the big union, specifically the UAW and then Canada's version of that union, known as the Unifor. Is that what it's called, Uniform?

[Bobby Charles]

Yeah.

[David Brody]

Tell us about that. I don't know. I didn't know that.

[Bobby Charles]

You know, the UAW complained. To their credit, they did complain when NAFTA was passed and some of those jobs were lost. A lot of jobs were lost to Canada and Mexico, but they didn't break up their union solidarity party over it. In other words, they still remained affiliated with Uniform, which is the Canadian version of the UAW and some other international unions. In fact, they're still trying to really unionize the Mexican workers. Well, not so much coming from the other side. Uniform is really looking to break up with the UAW over this because they're losing a few jobs. I mean, welcome to the Party Canada, NAFTA and other things have killed off American auto jobs for decades in this country. And the UAW never threatened to cut off its friendship and its allegiance with uniform. But the Canadians have a much thinner skin apparently. And by the way, this is one of the interesting things about tariffs. It seems to be breaking up the so called union solidarity. It's not lasting. The Canadians not willing to swallow it. But by the way, shame on the uaw. They complained about nafta, but they didn't pull out the nuclear option as far as trying to keep those jobs here in the United States, which they could have done. So maybe it's just what goes around comes around around.

[David Brody]

Yeah, for sure. All right, Jake, let's talk about the NFL season kicking off tonight. As T. Bates mentioned earlier down at the link, we got the Eagles and the Cowboys. You have some numbers, by the way, to back up your premise that pro football is America's number one addiction. Please do tell, Jake.

[Bobby Charles]

It really is. There's no other entertainment option out there that crosses all the lines, racial lines, gender lines, economic lines. The NFL is an absolutely. It's just a juggernaut. And I know there's a lot of things about it politically that angered a lot of us over the years, and I understand that. But just look at the numbers. The fact is the NFL has not suffered. So we found out just now that NBC telling us about their numbers, they have already sold 90% of all of the ads for all their Sunday Night Football games. Of course they're on Thursday night tonight and the super bowl is completely sold out. And again, most importantly, the numbers that they're getting for these ads, the highest ever. This is America's addiction. And by the way, this is a scary thing for me because it tells the NFL that all the things that they've done, all those missteps, all the politics, they can get away with it, which means they'll probably do it again. I hope they don't. But the fact is, is that the money's still pouring in. They think that means everything to them. And I just don't see anything weakening this juggernaut. It is the number one addiction in America.

[David Brody]

America. Well, I've got to tell you, I'm trying to tie in the New York jets to, you know, money, numbers and stuff. So I'll just maybe say something like this. What about the stock in the New York Jets? As in, should we put any stock in the jets this season? You're a long suffering Jet fan. I'm a long suffering Jet fan. I the joke goes that what happened? What did Jeff fans do when they win the Super Bowl? They turn off the PlayStation and that's kind of like where we're at. What do you think? I've got my prescription meds all set and ready to go. They are ready because we're going to need them maybe this season. I don't know. What do you think? I got 20 seconds.

[Bobby Charles]

By the way, the best thing about this season, David, is that there's no disappointment really on the horizon. There are such low expectations for the jets unlike the last two years. So actually this is just going to be an easy one. I, I, it's the, it's the disappointment that really gets, gets you. Right. That's what really bothers you. And I don't see any high expectations for the jets this year. So I think, I think it's going to be an even keel emotional year for all of us.

[David Brody]

Yeah. John, John Steinbach writing low expectations with the Jets. Thank you. Jake Nofak. Good to see you. I appreciate it. All right. That's my literary knowledge. That's about as deep as I go. Time for T. Bates opening belt. The New York Stock Exchange, sponsored by.

[Terrence Bates]

Amec, the association of mature American citizens.

[Bobby Charles]

Is the conservative voice for for Americans 50 and older.

[Terrence Bates]

AMAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today together we can write the course of America. Welcome back, everyone. We're about a minute away from the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Momentarily you'll hear the applause and then shortly after that we'll hear the opening bell. Vontable is on the podium right now. You're hearing the applause and then the bell will ensue. I can tell you the pre market trading at least on the Dow wasn't so positive. So maybe now that the markets are officially open, as you hear the bell, things will change a little bit. All right, let's take a look. Here we go. Not so much. The Dow is still down right now. The S P 500 and NASDAQ are still in the green again. There's a whole day of trading ahead. So all of that can trade can change. Excuse me. The rest of our board as you can also see, is in the red. So buy low, sell high. Maybe if you buy right now and things pick up a little bit, you can sell a little bit higher and make yourself a little bit of money. Well folks, if you're stressed out about back taxes, maybe you missed the April deadline or your books are a mess, you definitely don't want to wait the IRS is cracking down.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Hey there. I'm Mary Kathryn Ham. And I'm Carol Markowitz. We've been in political media for a long time. Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. That's why we started Normaly a podcast.

[David Brody]

For people who are over the hysteria.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

And just want clarity. We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. So if you're into common sense, sanity and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people. Catch new episodes of normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

[Emily Finn]

Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn, filling in today for Dr. Gina. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. We do invite you to join the conversation on Getter and Rumble. It's time now to take the political pulse of America and the beat. Today, the co founder of Airbnb, Joe Ghebia, who was a lifelong Democrat, is now revealing that he is backing President Trump. Here's what Ghebia had to say as to why he Supports Trump now. Take a listen.

[Bobby Charles]

I've been lucky enough to call Josh Kushner, one of my close friends, for a long time. Through him, I've gotten to know Jared. And so I get on the phone with Jared. Can you help me fill in the gaps for me? Like, what am I missing here? Is this normal? Like, it seems there's no enforcement of our own border. Don't nations need borders to be a nation?

[David Brody]

Kind of.

[Bobby Charles]

And so he put me on this, I'd say this curriculum of just talking to experts in the field. And I remember, like, just being like, holy cow, this is crazy. Like, this is not right. This is a real problem, and there's no reason why we shouldn't be enforcing the laws of our country and our border. And so I think as I started to pull on that thread, I sort of began to look at other topics and eventually came to the point where I don't think I can support a political party that wants to have an open border that lets in criminals and dangerous people in our country. That's not something I can get behind.

[Emily Finn]

Sounds like he is certainly waking up to the truth. And we want to know what you are doing. Viewers think. Get in the chat and get her. Rumble. And YouTube, let your voice be heard. We do want to turn our attention now to sports. College football is back, and many prominent players are getting paid millions of dollars for their name, image, and likeness deals. Journalist and TV personality Brit McHenry slammed these deals and said they are bad for college football. McHenry wrote in the Spectator that it is now the wild west of college sports. It has also impacted college basketball in a similar way. So what is the right answer here for discussion? Let's bring in the woman herself, Britt McHenry. Britt, thank you so much for joining American Sunrise. We appreciate you being here. Can you expand on this a little bit further for us?

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Well, first of all, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure to join the show. And obviously, football is taking up all of our screens right now. If you're as die hard of a fan as I am, I'm sure some of you are, but. But it's been a journey for the ncaa, and President Trump has noticed this himself. The president has always been on the side of equality for women in sports, as we saw with his stance against transgender participation and now with saving college sports, his executive order in July, which is very recent. It's to design some level playing here. I have always been on the side as I've covered sports of all kinds at ESPN and in local markets that any student athlete should get the ability to claim a bit of a capitalistic right to their name and likeness. The problem is when the NIL was created in 2021, fresh out of COVID so what a time, right? There was no rules or limits or caps. And when I say that, take a, you know, Carson back, for example, at Miami, just beat Notre Dame. Great for him. Do you know what? He's making an estimated three to four million dollars this year to transfer to Miami. And that's not including his endorsements. Arch Manning, he may have all the ex haters on his back right now in sports pundits with his performance this past weekend for Texas, but he's making $6 million. $6 million. And that's not including the full realm and possibilities of endorsement. So when you hear those numbers and we're all working nine to fives and thinking, man, I wish I could throw a football or, you know, have a layup, a slam dunk on the basketball court, you have to also consider what is this doing to the landscape. When the University of Florida won the NCAA tournament, March Madness, they're starting five. I'm not kidding. You guys had four transfers. So gone are the days of the beloved bracket busting teams when it comes to basketball as well. A George Mason with a Cinderella run to the Final Four or other VCU programs that you may not have had on your radar with their coaching staff and players that have been playing together for four years, it's become all about the Benjamins, all about the dollars. And that isn't a problem, so to speak. But if it continues on this path without any kind of regulation, what happens to sports that don't bring in as many fans in 90,000 packed, you know, student packed arenas and stadiums? What happens to tennis? What happens to women's volleyball, women's soccer? I was a collegiate soccer player. I think those questions are now being asked and there's a lot more eyeballs and scrutiny that should be at least to give some sort of fairness in this world of college sports, because we all love watching it. But is it ruining, Ruining the joy of the game is a good question. I think people are asking Britt.

[Terrence Bates]

It's a great question. And the capitalist in me says, you know what? Make as much money as you can while you're able to make it, be it a freelancer or not. One of the things. And this literally just came on my radar. It's starting, though. As early as high school, I was at a cross country radio for My daughter. And I was just. Just happened to kind of talk to a dad. And he was saying that his son in high school had an NIL deal with the shoe company. I won't name names, but he said with the shoe company. And he said the kid got shoes, obviously apparel, but also like $20,000 in high school. He was a great runner, but it's starting that early.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

Oh, yes. I was not as good as my former teammate, but she was the backup goalie for the women's national soccer team that won the two World Cups. She committed to the University of North Carolina, which at the time was by far the best women's program when she was 14 years old. Like, I don't even think she was 15 at that point. So she had locked in. But back then, not to age myself that much or any of you on the panel, you couldn't get these multimillion dollar deals. There were side deals, of course, but consider Reggie Bush, right? When he won his Heisman Trophy at usc, it was taken away from him because he had received a car and some other side gifts from donors and school boosters, which theoretically was happening. You know, we would be oblivious to say otherwise, but it was happening.

[David Brody]

Trust it was happening.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

It was happening under the table. And so that's where I thought NIL could really enhance and make things more transparent, which it has. But it's becoming this mountain that we need to just at least know the pathways and thoroughfares around. You have people like Libby Dunn. You know, she became an Instagram social media influencer. She red shirted and stayed at LSU because if I was pocketed in the money, she was a couple million dollars, I would do that as well, you know, and shoulder Sanders. There was serious talk nationally from pundits I used to work with at ESPN saying he shouldn't go into the draft because he'll make more money playing at Colorado at the amateur level. And they were not wrong. And we saw him drop to the fifth round. But is that what we should be preaching? Like, I'm torn here, and I'd love to hear more thoughts from you guys. You should be capitalistic. You should make your. Your money, especially for those student athletes who will not have long pro careers. But I don't think the. The edict, the mantra is, is right. If we're saying, hey, skip the pros, skip school, skip classes, just make sure you get that $4 million a year for the most famous athletes. Of course, but there's no regulation currently.

[David Brody]

No, no, there has to be some sort of balance Here. Hey, Britt, you have a new piece coming out in the Spectator about tennis legend Serena Williams, and she's promoting the weight loss company. Oh, I'm sorry, that's right. It's reportedly owned by her husband. What more can you tell us about this?

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

So I was initially giving her some props here and coming out and saying that she was taking or did take a GLP1 derivative. For those wondering what that is, you can see the video, the commercial. It's an Ozempic like shot. She lost 31 pounds. So where I did give her some credit was in the admission of, hey, this is what it took for me to get here. And I say that especially as a woman. There's so many impressionable young girls on Instagram, on TikTok, on all the social media platforms thinking, I have to look like that. And they might take drastic measures even more drastic than this. So she was honest. But then to what you said, I started connecting the dots here and thinking to myself, and this is a compliment to her, so I don't want anyone to think I'm slamming her. I don't agree with all her political beliefs, but she won 23 Grand Slams, she's the most prolific female tennis player, we could argue, of all time. Why is she shilling for an Ozempic knockoff brand when this woman has made $350 million in her career? And by the way, her husband is no slouch either. He was a co founder of Reddit. He's worth at least 150 million. So I'm all about keeping it within the family. I think we all would support our loved ones. But what message does this also send? If we were talking about the nil in college, if we have one of the best athletes of all time not doing the TB12 method that Tom Brady made famous, that at least incorporated workouts, you know, cutting what you're consuming, calories, et cetera. This is a weight loss shot. I don't know how you guys feel, but for me, it was a bit tawdry for someone as prolific as Serena Williams.

[Emily Finn]

Yeah, Britt, I think, you know, as a woman as well, I think it's just great that she at least was honest, that this is what she used to be able to get to that point in her, in her journey. But before we let you go, only a couple minutes left with you. NFL football is back tonight. We have to talk about this. The Dallas Cowboys are taking on the defending super bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles. Oh, got some reactions already in the four box. What are some of the big storylines that are grabbing your attention ahead of kickoff tonight.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

I'm booing right there with you.

[Terrence Bates]

That's my girl. You know what? You have a standing appointment with us on Thursday. Since you don't like the Cowboys, you are welcome back anytime. She all right.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

I love it. I would love to. Come on. You know. So the Micah Parsons trade was the most ridiculous debacle you could witness in sports. If you're not a die hard football fan, just think of it as like having the best X, the best relationship ever and fumbling it epically. That's what Jerry Jones did. Now he's the owner and gm so he can do what he likes. But to get only two first round picks back for him and, you know, a solid but aging defensive player, I will be interested to see what the packers do. I am a Commanders fan, so I am very locked in to Sunday's game. I think Brian Dabon needs to prove, especially in this year that he can pick up from just 19 wins on his record as a head coach. Jameis Winston will make me laugh no matter what if he's playing or not. But I think tonight I'm going to go with an L for the Cowboys. I'm sorry to fans of American his team. Are we still calling them that? I don't know if they deserve that title anymore, but yeah, you're getting a.

[Emily Finn]

Round of applause from Terrence here for sure.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

I would say to keep an eye out on some other teams.

[Terrence Bates]

Brit. I'm so much of a Dallas Cowboys hater that I've embarrassed my wife. There was, we were in Memphis and a guy, I have no idea who he is, he had a Dallas Cowboys flag flying outside of his house. And I literally went knocked on his door and was like, you should take that down. Yeah, I was much younger and I should be ashamed, but I did it. Yes.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

You know, I don't want to bring up bad memories for the producer of the show. I'm trying to impress you guys. Maybe I'll be back on. But you know, I remember a game when the commanders, not so far away, you know, fairly recently beat the Lions and a nice little pick six into the end zone.

[Emily Finn]

You are breaking our producer.

[Terrence Bates]

You'll never be back on the show after that.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

But you know what? I do like the Lions way. I like that we can now watch a Detroit Lions team that are not perennial losers, that they are very strong. I love Dan Campbell. I do see a comeback for them.

[Emily Finn]

And give them some credit.

[David Brody]

Yeah, I'm done with the 457 losses on Thanksgiving Day with the Lions because.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

That'S all I do is just watch football and eat. I think all of us, us do on Thanksgiving. So I like them.

[David Brody]

I'm a Jet fan, by the way. So my prescription meds are ready for the season. I'm all set. I'm set.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

I don't, I think all I can do is just send you love in those in that endeavor. You know, I grew up watching the Dolphins, so Dan, Dan the man. But, you know, no offensive line or wide receivers was the story of my life. So I do, I do like seeing how that division has shaken out. But I'll tell you, this guy, if I end on anything twice, I said there's no way Kyle Shanahan, who's the head coach of the 49ers, can go oh and three in a super Bowl. There's no way he did my wallet faced those consequences. And I said there's no way that the bills will go.05 against the same team in the playoffs. And as you know, they did go oh and five and the Kansas City Chiefs went on to the Super Bowl. So I would say take my insight. Maybe not my picks necessarily every week, but I'm invested and it is a huge weekend for all of us.

[Emily Finn]

You have certainly had some fun predictions this morning. Britt McHenry, thank you so much for joining us to talk sports. We really enjoyed it. We have more American Sunrise right after the break. Stay with us.

[Mary Kathryn Hamm]

[Emily Finn]

Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn. It's time now to talk about our health and well being and the role that essential oils can play. As many as 19 million Americans take fish oil supplements. 19 million. Why is it though, we're told that fish oil supplements are rich in omega 3 fatty acids and those omega 3s help with heart health, joint health and many more Benefits. But does fish oil really help? Or have we been lured in with marketing claims that are now being challenged by medical studies? My next guest, Chad Walding, is an expert in the fields of physical therapy, nutrition and nutraceuticals. Chad is the co founder of Native Path, a health and wellness company focused on supplements that are best backed by science. Chad, thank you so much for being here on American Sunrise.

[David Brody]

Thank you for having me. It's good to be here.

[Emily Finn]

So the global fish oil market is projected to exceed $3.2 billion. But credible studies have emerged that suggest that fish oil may not be as healthy as consumers were led to believe. And this is where the fish oil science gets murky, Correct?

[David Brody]

Correct. And yeah, let's start with the fact that there is solid evidence omega 3s are beneficial to to overall health. Omega 3s reduce inflammation. They contribute to heart health, brain health, eye health, bone health, metabolism, and potentially even cancer prevention. And with a healthy diet, we would get omega 3s from things like fish and seafood. It's also found in eggs and olives and other foods. The problem is we don't eat healthy enough in the modern world. So we're often lacking omega 3s and we often get too much omega 6 fat from industrial seed oils which inflame our body body. But when Most people hear omega 3, they think fish oil. So hundreds of supplement companies have seized the opportunity to supply fish oil to consumers in hopes of augmenting the Omega 3s we need. And going back to the studies that you're mentioning, it does get murky. So Harvard Health published a study stating there's no evidence of heart related benefits from fish oil. Cleveland Clinic published an article stating fish oil pills aren't doing what you think they're doing. Right. So much of the science is suggesting that fish oil may not provide the health benefits people are hoping for. And there's really two key problems with fish oil. Number one, it's almost always tainted with pollutants and toxins which prevent it from working. So it comes from oceans with oil spills and nuclear disasters, and high levels of mercury can be found in those waters. I simply don't trust it. And number two, it doesn't get absorbed by the human body very well, especially when compared to, compared to krill oil.

[Emily Finn]

So, okay, if someone is looking for a healthier source of omega 3s, what are the studies behind krill oil?

[David Brody]

Well, krill oil is found to be better absorbed by the human body in comparison to regular fish oil. It's up to actually up to 50% more absorbable. And that's because it comes in a phospholipid form that's found all over our bodies, which penetrate our cells. But the biggest difference between crystal krill oil and fish oil is a powerful antioxidant that is not found in fish oil called astaxanthin. And it's likely the key to achieving the health benefits you're seeking from Omega 3s.

[Emily Finn]

Tell us why you co founded Native Path. What inspired you behind this.

[David Brody]

Because humans have gotten off the path, right? There's been a steady decline in human health over the past hundred years despite advances in science and technology. And we have a health industry that knows nothing about food and a food industry that knows nothing about health. And people have been led in the wrong direction. So at Native Path, we educate people on how to get back on the path with timeless principles of human health. And we provide the purest and most effective supplements as close to nature as possible to help fill in the gaps for what's missing in the modern diet.

[Emily Finn]

Well, Dr. Chad Walding, thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate you joining American Sunrise. I'm guessing the krill versus fish oil message hit home with lots of people. For the many fish oil supplement users out there who are wondering if they're wasting their money on empty promises and if they want to switch to krill oil. Or for the newbies who are just hearing about the benefits of krill oil, how can they order? Well, we're extending up to 66% off to our audience when they visit native path krill oil.com Again, that is native path krill oil.com for 66% off. More American Sunrise right after the break. Stay with us.

[David Brody]

And welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody. Thanks. Thanks for joining us today. All right, guys, time now for the sunny side up in the pan today, a real inspiring story of a Denver doctor and his wedding day miracle. So there's a Colorado father who spent decades battling paralysis, and he's defined the odds. Russell McKeon, a former paramedic, was left paralyzed after an ambulance crash and years of setbacks. But thanks to Denver neurosurgeon Dr. Scott Falci, Russell is getting a second chance. After a rare surgery, McKeon is moving his arms, even kicking his legs. His goal is simple but powerful, to walk his daughter down the aisle. It's a story of determination, faith, and family, proof that miracles still happen. Take a look. I decided to show my kids just when you're given a bad hand, you can't just give up. I often joke about you couldn't write soap operas as bad as what I've lived through. So we're hoping by this pushing. Go ahead, push again.

[Terrence Bates]

This will help with a walker because.

[Bobby Charles]

He had zero movement here at all, and he was able to stand.

[David Brody]

And then this yesterday.

[Bobby Charles]

Yeah, he's only been out of bed for three days. He's a highly motivated guy, and he's.

[David Brody]

Been through a lot.

[Bobby Charles]

And what he's achieved just with self determination and desire is amazing.

[David Brody]

Wow, what a day that will be. I mean, it's emotional already. A wedding day. And then, Emily, that makeup for his daughter, the bride, I think it's gonna get smeared that day.

[Emily Finn]

She's gonna have to use some waterproof mascara for sure, because she's gonna be bawling her eyes out. That's gonna be a beautiful moment. And you know what? Determination from that father. I don't think there's anything more beautiful in life than a father daughter relationship. You know, I can only speak to the relationship I have with my dad. I know he would do the same for me. He would pull some inner strength to be able to be there for my day as well. So I think this is a really cool story to end the show. Terry.

[Terrence Bates]

Determination and perseverance is some of the best medicine out there. I truly believe that the mind is so powerful that if you put your mind to something strong enough, you can overcome whatever hurdle. I truly believe that.

[David Brody]

Amen. You know, my daughter and I have a great relationship. She would like to say she has a better relationship with my credit card, but that's a separate issue. But I'm just playing. She's fantastic. All right, guys, once again, the compliment is right to us. We had a great show because we were phenomenal today. I mean, I think that's pretty clear. Great to have everybody here. War Room is up next. He's pretty phenomenal. That'd be Steve Bannon. Go boldly now, as we like to say. See y' all tomorrow.
