Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ahead on American Sunrise, a new poll has President Trump's
approval ratings sorry coming up, a look behind the numbers
and the factors contributing to his assent. Plus, President Trump
quotes Napoleon Bonaparte as he continues his campaign to quote
save the country. So what he had to say and

(00:22):
his reaction to it. And now that Tulcy Gabbard and
RFK Junior are confirmed, sworn in and on the job,
all eyes are shifting to Cash Bettel, as the President's
pick to run the FBI could face a full Senate
confirmation vote in the coming days. Those stories and so
much more right now on American Sundays.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Good morning, America.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Welcome to American Sunrise.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with
you politics.

Speaker 5 (00:56):
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
You've got your cover.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
We have to protect the American family.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
The American dream is still alive.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm doctor China.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Good morning, I'm doctor g We are live with you
from the Palm Beaches.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Let's bring in David Brodie.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
He's in Washington, d C and Terrence mates in our
Denver news room. Good morning, Happy Monday, gentlemen. It's President's Day.
But I'm really confused because I drove past schools on
the way into work this morning and the schools were open.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Really Yeah, our schools here in Colorado are closed up.
It was to day and tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Maybe they're just trying to throw anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
I guess I don't even in the socials for Public
of Maryland.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Maybe it was a teacher's meeters. I mean, who knows.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Anyway, Speaking of President this weekend, President Trump made a
great day even better attending the Dayton of five hundred
in Florida.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Man of the people.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
He is kind of fun, really really moving video people
cheering for him. And he had a little Carolina, his
little granddaughter there Eric and Laura's daughter, and she made
her little debut and there's the beast driving around.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Kind of cool guys.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, well, so can I just say you mentioned I'm sorry, David,
I just like Carolina that you had me at Carolina.
That little girl is the sweetest thing. There's some video
of her seeing President Trump walking on the track with
her holding her hand and just having her in tow
I thought David was the highlight for me. Forget the
beast driving around the track, forget him getting out there

(02:51):
and telling the gentleman to start their engines. He had
me right here watching Carolina. She is just the cutest
little thing. Sorry, you know, I'm a girl, dad, So
that that has a special place in my heart.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
David, it is the highlight for sure. Imagine on a Sunday,
Hey Caroline, come on, let's go. Let's let's go on
the go around the beast or in the beast around
Daytona five hundred. Boy, how we have come a long way.
It's the beast around Daytona five hundred. And it used
to be Biden couldn't even make a lap around with
his bicycle. So that that is everything you need to
know for sure. That's awesome stuff.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well, America apparently agrees with both of you. In a
new poll from The Neapolitan News and RMG Research, President
Trump's job approval rating is soaring a going.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
As fast as the cars.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
This weekend, he is hitting fifty five percent.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
You all, it's a.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Job approval rating. We haven't seen those numbers in forever.
And you know, America, I think the people I talk to.
I don't know what you're hearing, but the people I
talk to, they say things like I had no idea
how much waste was in government, or I would have
been voting Republican a long time ago, Terrence, are you
hearing any of that?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Not quite that, But a lot of people saying that
there's a blizzard of activity and from the White House.
And I think that's what a lot of people that
I'm talking to are most impressed with is that President
Trump has hit the ground running and that he is
really doing all kinds of things at lightning speed pace.
And the expectation, I guess was that this would be
a slower pace, and so I think a lot of

(04:23):
people feel like he's being very efficient.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
That's what I'm hearing, David, Yeah, absolutely, all right, guys,
Well they're telling me to get to the Bible first,
so let's just do that. It is second Corinthians five
point seventeen, and it reads therefore, if any man being Christ,
he is a new creation. Old things are passed away.
Behold all things become new. A couple of hymns come
to mind that I'm going to spare you my hymn

(04:47):
singing this morning.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
You are welcome.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Let's get right back to discussing President Trump's amazing day
at NASCAR's daytone of five hundred. We have Congressman timber Chet.
We don't take any time away from him. He is
one of the best of the Bessie's from the great
state of Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
He joins us.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Now, Congressman, thank you for being with us. How invigorating
is it to see America be so courted, so heard,
so seen, so energized by this president.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
It fires me up, and you know, and I'm up
there every day doing it. I love that he was
at a NASCAR race, being a redneck.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Self identified with the rednick same.

Speaker 6 (05:28):
I'm probably one of the few carnsmen that's ever changed
his own all. So you know, I'm all without. I
think he gets it, he gets his base, and and
you know what they was refreshing about this presidency. He
kept his dad gun word. He said he's going to
do these things, and I hope he piles it on
because I really worry. I was with Marjorie Tayler Green
the other day and we were talking about where we

(05:49):
thought our problems would be, and we didn't think it
was going to be with the Marxist left. I mean
they're Marxist there, so they identify as it. But the
it's going to be within our own party. These people
are going to start pulling off of these things. Hey,
well wait a minute, we need to slow down a
little bit. Let's let's figure this thing out. No, we don't.
We need to pile it on when we're finding out
we're giving taxpayer money to terrafts, when we're supporting LGBTQ

(06:15):
operas in Central America and surgery to change sex, which
you really can't but you know, the it's just butchery
is all it is. And your tax dollars are going
to that, and we find out billions of dollars could
be going to terrorist organizations. To me, it's just it's
beyond belief. And of course I've been preaching it for

(06:37):
a while. You know, have a bill to defund the Taliban.
We found out we're sending them forty million dollars every
week every week, the American taxpayers are, and I can't
you know, it's it's I had to go pitch a
fit to the speaker to get a to get it
to get the bill moving. So we're you know, things
are moving, but you better hold our feet to the fire,

(06:58):
and I'll tell you what. We better start passing laws
to back up what the President has said because these
executive orders are undone by the next president.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Well, that is exactly right, Congressman. To that end, let's
talk about that a little bit more. But I want
to do that all in the context of these new
polls that we mentioned at the top of the show. Right,
so you've got the R ANDV research folks showing look
at this, I mean, President Trump's job approval, it's sorey,
it's fifty five percent. So it kind of leads to
the question about these rhinos that you're talking about or

(07:27):
folks that are just like, hey, you need to get
with the program, because the truth of the matter is
the American people are on President Trump's side. They're on
your side, Congressom Burchett. I mean, in other words, you
and the Freedom caucusers his narrative out there that you
guys are going to be the stumbling block because you want, oh,
shockingly more cuts. How about the rhinos and other get

(07:48):
on board with what the Freedom Caucus wants, because that's
where the American people seem to be today.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yeah, I'm not a member of the Freedom Caucus. I
told Jim Jordan, I said, y'all get me for free.
He said, how's that? I said, I vote more conservative
than your members, and I don't get to come to
your chicken dinners, and I don't get a decoder r in.
So it's kind of a you know, yeah, there, we're
not the stumbling block. We're representing what America is saying.

(08:14):
They say, cut this garbage out. I do not want
to pay for this. You know that it's crazy that
that people in upper Upper East Tennessee and western North Carolina,
when Hurricane Helene flew through there, they were still living
in tents. They didn't have electricity or water until President
Trump came up there and raised total hate East and
then the magically the Army Corps engineers showed back up

(08:37):
and they started clearing streams and clearing roads. We'd voted
for one hundred million dollars for FEMA, and I didn't
vote for it because I said, we'll steal it or
will misdirect it. And sure enough, fifty four million dollars
under Biden and and it went to and they fired
the people, but it went to motels up in New York.
So if they could house homeless, I mean, they could

(08:58):
house illegals. So FEMA is just a it's a scam,
and it's it's incredible that that people will still stand
by these organizations. But America understands what's going on and
they're fed up.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Congressman, since you brought up FEMA, I'm going to follow
you down that road. There, of course, is massive flooding
in Kentucky right now. FEMA is said to be on
the ground. How much confidence do you have that FEMA,
even under the direction now of the Trump administration, is
going to really be effective in helping the folks there
in Kentucky.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
I think I know they'll lose their job that they
don't do their dad gum job. And I don't think
you're going to see money misdirected to where it shouldn't be.
FEMA will do what it's supposed to do. But again,
Franklin Graham's organization, Samaritan's Purse, I'm trying to prepare legislation
that we start just directing money to groups like that
and just do away with fame. But famous should just
be a flow through for money and they shouldn't take

(09:51):
ten percent off the top or whatever they ought to
just be. They ought to direct the money to the locals.
You know, we have the apparatus in every state and
that's an a form of our National Guard, and that
we could equip them to do these jobs and we
would not have and they could direct the money to
groups like Samaritans, person Mountain Strong and some other groups

(10:12):
that that do. I mean undeniably they do the Lord's work.
They were on the ground before Fama was in North Carolina,
and so I think that's that's where we need to
be directing our resources.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Congressman.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
On a Saturday, President channeled his inner Napoleon Bonaparte, seeing
as president, you have to do what you must do
to quote see the country.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
What do you make of his comment?

Speaker 6 (10:43):
Well, currently is that's what he's doing. He is saving
the country. We're thirty six trillion dollars in debt, we're
throwing money down rat holes where everything we're doing seems
to be before Trump was just to destroy this country.
So yeah, I would say that that would be uh,
that would be a correct assumption because currently we haven't

(11:03):
had any of the leadership in the last four years,
and now we've got a real leader, and the world
is taking note. Piece is breaking out, the economy is
turning around. People are anxious to see what's going to happen,
and they're excited about this country once again. And I
bet you our enemies are not going to be that.
You're not going to see them taking a shot at us,
because they know we got a new cowboy in the

(11:24):
White House and he is not going to put up
with any of it, that's for sure.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
By the way, quick before you get out of here,
there's a headline from All Places CNN. It says Democrats
confront their powerlessness as Trump flex's authority, the party remains
without a clear leader. Talking about the Democrats obviously, as
no one has stepped up to represent them, what do
you make of what the Democrat? Not that you're a
Democrat consultant the last time I checked. But they're in

(11:52):
a pickle, As my dad would say, what are they
going to do in this situation? Or do we even care?

Speaker 6 (11:57):
They're chasing their tail? Well we should because there's they
still have a portion of this country and our college
campuses are largely controlled by them, and that's the feeding
ground for this thing. And yeah, I think that that
what we're seeing right now is just an overturn of
years of corruption and deceit, and America's not buying it.

(12:20):
In CNN, I mean, they got to read their ratings.
Like I said the other day, I was on with
one of them. I said, more people are watching reruns
the SpongeBob on the square Pants on Cartoon Network that
are watching CNN. So yeah, and the Democrats are just
chasing their tail. They're rudderless. All they can do is
attack Elon and attack Trump, two of the most popular

(12:41):
people in the country right now. And it gets clear
in the Doge Committee myself that Marjorie Taylor Green did
an excellent job of sharing. I thought, I thought, man,
she is like she must be on on narcotics or something, because.

Speaker 7 (12:56):
She's just so calm.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Of course, it's.

Speaker 6 (12:58):
Like that gump Marjorie, yes, man, and she kept at
peak thirteen on her on our side and the other
side they just went off on some foul stuff, you know,
and America's watching and they've had it.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
So can I just say you were one of my
what isn't Can I just say you are one of
my all time favorites. I love you, I truly you
entertained you.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
I love you, said many times.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
The camera does my glove to me.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
So I was going to ask if you were ever
to voiceovers for red roof in, because I just want
to hear you say, and we'll leave the light on
for you.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
I do have the perfect face for radio. It's amazing
how many people I'm seen of like I meet national figures.
I was. I remember when Benjaminette Yahoo was here in
A national media figure said you're Tim Burchett, aren't you?
And I said yes, sir, And he said I could
recognize that voice anywhere.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Right.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Congressman, thank you so much for being on with us.
You always brighten up the whole show and get us
kicked off and sus the right start.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Thank you so much. God bless you.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (14:13):
God has blessed me. Thank you all.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Coming up, we check out the hottest headlines from the
RAP news Room with Ta Bates and later piece between
Russia and Ukraine a unique peace strategy involving Saudi Arabia
gaining some traction.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
We've got the details back in minutes.

Speaker 8 (14:41):
This news break gets brought to you by AMAC Association
of Mature American Citizens.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
The Everglades in Florida. You know, every time I go
down there and I'm on I twenty five Alligator Alley,
they you know, I'm looking for alligators. I've never seen them.
I guess I got to get out of the car.
But you know, I'm moving. I'm going places, all right.
Welcome back, everybody to the American Sunrise. I'm David Brody
coming up. Boy. The hostage reunions emotional as can be.
We are going to talk about one of them. And

(15:18):
of course what does it mean for the broader potential
peace agreements in the Middle East? Peace in the Middle East, Okay,
I don't know about that, but then again, Trump is
the art of the deal maker. First though. T Bait
standing by with the latest headlines from the Real America's
Voice newsroom sponsored by AMAC.

Speaker 9 (15:33):
The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice
for Americans fifty and older. AMAC is fighting for the
values that you hold, dear and joined today together, we
can write the course of America.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Well, David. Peace talks related to the war between Russia
and Ukraine are ramping up, as top Us and Russian
officials they're set to meet in Saudi Arabia tomorrow that
meeting is all also to set up a sit down
between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Secretary of
State Marco Rubio will lead the US delegation, which will
include US Envoy Steve Whitcoff as well as National Security

(16:12):
Adviser Mike Walt. Tomorrow's negotiation follows President Trump's phone conversations
with both Presidents Putin and Zelensky last week. He probably
remembered that Vice President j d Vance also met with
the Ukrainian president Friday in Munich, Germany.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
Well.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
The Trump Department of Justice is calling on the US
Supreme Court to decide whether the Commander in Chief can
fire the head of the US Office of Special Council,
the independent agency protects federal employees who are whistleblowers, Hampton
Dellinger sued the Trump administration after being fired by Email
last month. He argues that his firing was illegal, based

(16:49):
on law that protects leaders of independent agencies from being
fired by the president except for in cases of neglective duty, malfeasance,
or inefficiency. As a result of federal judge issued a
temporary order last week allowing Dellinger to keep his job
while the case is adjudicated. A US appeals court has
since rejected the Trump administration's request to overrule the lower

(17:11):
court's ruling. The DOJ is now taking the case to
the Supreme Court, who's ruling on this matter could be
precedent setting when it comes to President Trump being able
to fire government workers and specifically agency heads. At least
ten people are dead across the Southeast, nine of them
in Kentucky following massive flooding. The state's governor says he

(17:32):
expects the number of dead to increase as the water
recedes and rescuing recovery operations continued. The deadly flooding as
a result of more than six inches of rain in
some areas. Kentucky Governor Andy Basheer says the White House
has approved his request for an emergency disaster declaration, Plus
the Federal Emergency Management Agency is already on the ground

(17:53):
in the Bluegrass State ready to step in.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
We're needing.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's a quick check of your headlines. We'll have more
headlines coming to arrange just a little bit, including Secretary
of State Marco Rubio following up his high profile visit
to Israel with a trip to Saudi Arabia. Details on
his busy week in the Midlities as peace and sees
fires are the focus, and then later the dangers of
popular new weight loss drugs. There's a new warning about

(18:17):
what's in the sum of those injections. The details are
ahead right now. A quick look at this date.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
In history though.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
In the courteen Richard Petty was the first to win
back to back Daytona five hundreds.

Speaker 10 (18:39):
It was his fifth win and maybe his luckiest.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
It was on this date in nineteen seventy four that
Richard Petty became the first driver to win back to
back titles at the Daytona five hundred. It marked his
fifth Great American Race victory. Coincidentally, current driver William Byron
is celebrating his back to back Daytona five hundred win
this morning. Only five races, including Richard Petty, have won

(19:02):
the race in successive years. In all, Petty won an
astounding one hundred and fifty four NASCAR events and four championships.
More American sunrise as we roll along.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
Fort Lauderdale, Florida this morning, that's a live look. Where's
the sun is that coming out today? What's the forecast
over there? Doctor g We need to know we need
weather and traffic updates from doctor g on the eighths. Well,
sure we'll get that here shortly. Welcome back everybody to
American Sunrise. I'm David Brody.

Speaker 10 (19:48):
Look.

Speaker 5 (19:48):
Tears were flowing during an emotional reunion for one of
the Israeli hostages released by Hamas. Let's listen in wonderful
Sasha Alexander Trovanov was reunited with his family after being

(20:12):
held by Hamas terrorists for fifteen long months. You can
see Trovanov right there greeting versus partner mother than grandmother
upon his return home. Just phenomenal. The release of Sasha
and two other hostages came after President Trump applied pressure
on Hamas to release the hostages or all hell will
break loose. The terrorists complied, at least for a few

(20:36):
of them. As President Trump has proven time and again,
it's all about the art of the deal. When Trump
talks people listen, he's like if Hutton look it up
gen Zers for more. Let's bring in retired Navy Seal
Mike Cirelli. Mike, good to have you on the show
this morning. So Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netyah, who wants
to eliminate this huge threat by the State of Israel Byron.

(20:59):
Obviously he's talked to this, and of course you've got
Secretary of State Mark Or Rubio now making his first
visit to Israel since assuming his position a Secretary of State.
Rubio says, Mike that there could never be a nuclear Iran.
That's exactly what Netyahu is saying. That's what Trump is saying.
Talk to us about that aspect of it. And President
Trump also says net Yahoo really needs to finish the job.

(21:22):
How does net Yahoo go about really doing that at
this point? Good morning, That's a lot to put on
your plate. Good luck to you.

Speaker 7 (21:30):
I think I can handle it. No, no, good morning guys.

Speaker 11 (21:33):
Yes you, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Trump understand that Iran
is the cancer of the Middle East. Multiple previous administrations
have known this and have not dealt with this well.
President Trump during his first term put just crippling sanctions
on Iran. But it is an obvious statement. No, there

(21:54):
can never be a nuclear armed Iran. That is not
good for the region. Now, I think President Trump sees
it as he wants Prime Minister in net Yahoo, with
the support of the US, to cut off the tentacles
of Iran through Hesbla and Hamas, and again that further
isolates Iran. But how you go about of the destruction

(22:16):
of this you know, Islamic theocracy, which over seventy percent
of Iranians don't support themselves, is the true question. Now,
Trump said he would keep us out of wars, so
I think they'll take indirect means again, crippling sanctions, support
to the Iranians, the seventy percent who opposed this theocracy,
and I think they will destroy Iran in iotola from within.

(22:40):
That's the smart move. But again, they have the support
of every Gulf you know, Muslim country that is, especially
exporting oil, who live under the constant threat of Iran
blocking the Strait of Hormus. So this has been a
problem that has been kicked down the can or kicked
down the road several times, and now it's we have

(23:00):
an administration that understands it and wants to finally put
a rn to bed and see a regime change.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Mike, I'd like you to critically evaluate this cease fire
deal between Israel and Hamas. And I asked this question
in light of it almost feels like there's so much
emotion that's guided everything. Yes, we're happy and excited that
three hostages were released, but if you look at it
on the opposite end, dozens, we're talking like ninety something

(23:30):
Hamas prisoners that were held in Israel are being released.
The two just don't jive. It doesn't seem equal from
the outside looking in. You're the professional, though, I'd love
to get your perspective.

Speaker 7 (23:42):
No, it really is.

Speaker 11 (23:43):
And you know when you release these Hamas prisoners, I
mean yah Yah Sinwar, who was recently eliminated. The head
of Hamas was one of Israel's prisoners back in the day,
so you know they are tomorrow's terrorists.

Speaker 7 (23:56):
Nothing changes. But you know, the end.

Speaker 11 (23:59):
Or the the completion of the ceasefire between Hamas and
Israel doesn't mean that Israel won't stop the systematic elimination
of any Hesbola or Hamas leaders. They will continue to
do so in a much less kinetic way. But the
job is not done until we completely eliminate Hamas right

(24:21):
down to the last man. They are a terrorist organization
that caused disruption in the region. So don't think that
Israel will stop. They will stop major combat operations, but
they will continue to eliminate hamas.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
The New York Post is reporting a transgendery legal has
been arrested in New York City, accused of raping a
young boy and a public park restroom. Police say Nicole
Suarez followed the fourteen year old into the bathroom of
a bodega near Thomas Jefferson Park and East Harlem and
attacked him. Mike, it is so disturbing that it takes

(24:58):
an incident like this to sound the I'm about public
safety because this is the tip of the iceberg in
terms of these sorts of attacks on American citizens, especially
in New York City, but really California is probably.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Just as bad.

Speaker 11 (25:13):
Yeah, I'll say this rape of any form is evil
and it should be dealt with harshly. I think, you know,
we are early into the Trump administration. We're already seeing
them take action against you know, policies like this allowing
shared bathrooms with transgenders. It's going to take time, but this,

(25:34):
my heart goes out to this young boy. You know, this,
this individual should be dealt with harshly. But it's going
to take time to totally reverse the policies under the
Body administration that are doing harm to our youth.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
Mike. President Ronald Trump's team preparing to begin peace talks
between Russia and Ukraine. I want to get your take
on this because they're going to take place, by the way,
as we know, in Saudi Arabia this week. What do
you think I mean, Zelenski, it's not going to necessarily
be part of that though. We don't exactly know who's
going to be inside the room, but we understand it's

(26:07):
definitely US and Russian officials. European leaders are upset. Everybody's upset. Meanwhile,
the art of the deal maker. Uh, Donald Trump is
doing his thing. What's your take as to how this
goes this week in Saudi Arabia?

Speaker 7 (26:20):
When are the Europeans not upset? You know? For the
point you know Zolensky.

Speaker 11 (26:26):
I hate to be crude, but it's almost like he
putting Zolensky in the corner.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
You could be at the table, but the adults are speaking.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (26:34):
It's sort of the reality of the situation.

Speaker 11 (26:36):
We want this war war done and Zolensky is not
going to get a nuclear weapon that that's ludicrous.

Speaker 7 (26:43):
They are not going to join NATO. Uh.

Speaker 11 (26:46):
But you know, the Europeans had two years to deal
with this because they have the same World Economic Forum
view as the as the Biden administration. If you were
the CEO of a company and you had somebody running
a business unit that's been ineffective for years, you basically
tell them to shut their mouth and sit in the corner.
The Europeans will not be at the table. They'll have
to accept whatever deal comes. But you know, the Europeans

(27:09):
also look look at the mass migration of you know,
Muslims into their countries and the problems that they're dealing with.
It's almost become again a test bet for the World
Economic Forum, and their model is veiling. But you know,
another interesting point here is if I was the Trump
administration and resetting relations with Russia, I'd also try to

(27:30):
work into that deal to minimize Russia's trade policies and
trade relationships with Iran to further isolate them as well.
So I believe the Trump administration and Putin will get
this across the table. We will see an end to
this conflict and a reset with Russia.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Mike's really great to have you with us, Great stuff,
Thank you, sir. All right, coming up this big show
an ex Democratic fundraiser sounds the alarm and a party
and meltdown mode. That story ahead, but first the White
House bans, the Associated Press and the Oval Office and
now Air Force one as well the implications for other
media who don't report the truth. When American Sunrise continues.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
There's Franklin, Pa. Look at a little snowy.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Let's go back to the redneck pictures of the Everglades
right here where I live, Little Sunyer. Actually it's not
that sunny today. Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm back
to g Thanks for joining us. Time now for today's
health news. Sponsored by the Wellness Company and under the
microscope Today, you want to be careful about counterfeit ozimpic.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
The FDA has recently issued.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
A warning to consumers about counterfeit weight loss drugs that
could pose some serious health swiss because we don't know
who makes them, we don't know what's in them. These
counterfeit products, which are labeled containing finttermine, have been found
to contain harmful substances that are not approved for human use.
Why would ozimpic contain finermine, though, that's really weird, according

(29:20):
to the fdaight, here's how to identify a counterfeit ozimpic needle.
The top area of the paper tab is different. The
authentic paper tab displays nova fine plus, while the counterfeit
one simply states nova fine and Another example, look at
the blue area on the side where it says it
should contain a lot number and no other text. Vastly

(29:43):
difference when the real needle is put side by side
with the counterfeit one. Bottom line, you want to make
sure you can get no there are there are compounded
ozimpics that these compounding and holistic pharmacies produce, which are excellent.
So those are fine, But we're talking about counterfeit ones
that could have come from China or bad actors that

(30:04):
you don't know what's.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
In in My goodness, taking a shot, you don't know
what's in.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
It sounds like sounds like a COVID vaccine.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
All right, you guys.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
It's a new day in America and a new administration
in Washington, DC.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
There is a lot of excitement and optimism about the.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Future, but the reality is a lot of work to
do too, especially when it comes to fixing our healthcare system.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
The forces that are.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Responsible for breaking it aren't going to go away. The

Speaker 4 (31:19):
David Brodie Finally, government waste being addressed in Washington, DC.
I tell you when you talk to just the man
on the street, just the commet, just a grocery store,
checkout lane, person.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
That's what they're excited about. They had no idea.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
They're hard earned and taken away from them hostily taxes.
Right we're being used for the things they're being used for,
and they're glad to see it being stopped.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
Absolutely, it's a revolution of common sense and Donald Trump
and the taxpayer when they're simpatico right now, and that's crucial.
So you're absolutely right, Gena. Let's talk about it more
because you've got Heywood Calcove. He's thee of Lexus Nexus
Special Services. He was the first witness to testify at
that first Doze subcommittee hearing last week. So take a
look at this. This is his response when asked about

(32:11):
government waste. Remember this is your money.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
How much money do you calculate is wasted do to waste,
fraud and abuse and the entitlement programs each year?

Speaker 12 (32:22):
My number right now between federal, state and local government
is you can save one trillion dollars a year by
simply putting in front end identity verification, eliminating self certification,
and monitoring the back end of the programs that are
providing the betterfests.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Those three things mind blowing. Let's welcome in that man
that you just saw there, Heywood, Talcove to American Sunrise.
Hey with thanks for being here. Talk to us about
testifying as a witness of this historic first hearing and
the process that Doge is already making. How do you
see it? How will this play out? Because the courts
are going to fight Trump, Musk and everybody all the way.

Speaker 13 (33:03):
So I have been talking about this issue for fifteen
years and nobody's listened. And during the pandemic, we saw
an increase in the amount of fraud from criminal groups,
both domestic and transnational, that stole over a trillion dollars
from innocent Americans. I mean, no one ever talks here

(33:27):
about the victims, the victims of this fraud, of the taxpayers,
and the victims of this fraud of the individuals whose
identities had been stolen by these criminal groups and used
for nefurious purposes.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Heywood, you also revealed shocking testimony to lawmakers saying that
an astounding one trillion dollars has been stolen from taxpayers
through COVID related fraud that happened during the pandemic, highlighting
the enormity and the scale of these financial crimes.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Do you believe lawmakers.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Are now facing increased pressure to a established stricter oversight
measures to prevent future fraud and to safeguard public funds.
And let me ask the question. I feel like a
broken record. I asked this every show to someone. Will
anyone be punished?

Speaker 6 (34:13):
I mean, I don't even know where to start in
that question.

Speaker 13 (34:15):
I mean, I think that's part of the problem. If
you stole during the pandemic, for example, in the unemployment
insurance program, which lost two hundred and fifty billion dollars,
only two thousand.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
People have been prosecuted.

Speaker 13 (34:30):
So far only five billion dollars has been returned. The
problem right now is the incentive system doesn't work. And
the other part of the problem is it's the lunacy
of letting the money go out the front door and
then trying to get it back.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
I am so hopeful right now that for the first.

Speaker 13 (34:52):
Time that we can begin to take a look at
the efficiency and how these programs are spending money and
protected from these criminal groups that use it for things
like child trafficking, They put drugs in our community, and
they try to upset our democracy by funding terrorism.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Hack.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
Let me ask you real quick, how you think the
lawsuits are going to work out here regarding everything going
on against Musk and Doze. Of course, you got that
New York federal judge that just extended the block on
the Dosee team regarding those access to sensitive Treasury Department records.
They are fighting this tooth and nail, and I'm not
quite sure exactly what these judges can point to as

(35:35):
it relates to why they should be stopping this exactly
from an executive power standpoint, you're taking thirty seconds or so.

Speaker 13 (35:43):
Yeah, I'm not sure about the judges. What I am
sure about. There's innocent victims. This is not a democratic issue.
This is not a Republican issue. This is a criminal issue.
Of a trillion dollars a year being stolen from taxpayers
by criminal group in a third party led by the Doge.
Is exactly what's needed right now.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Hey, we talk off.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Thank you for your relentless fight and glad you're finally
being heard, and thanks for joining us today.

Speaker 6 (36:13):
Have a great day, guys, Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
All right, coming up, former Democrat fundraiser learns that the
party is facing even more turmoil as tensions within the
party increase.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Someone took their power.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
We have the story and later where presidents stay intersex
with faith and Christian values.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
That's ahead. American sundarized. My all right, you all is

(36:54):
time now to stay awake and not woke.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
This is brought to you by the seventeen seventy five coffee.

Speaker 14 (36:59):
Come.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
We want to think the crew.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
At seventeen seventy five coffee for joining the rav of family.
You are drinking coffee every day, probably right at this.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
Moment, like I am.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
But have you ever asked where it comes from or
where your money goes?

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Well?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
In twenty twenty four, Starbucks' top political contribution went to
you guessed it, Kamala Harris. Big brands hate your values.
And that's why we drink seventy seventeen seventy five coffee
here on American Sunrise.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
And this is why you should do.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
Seventeen seventy five coffee roasted in Florida by Patriots for patriots,
sourced from small farms in Bolivia, not massive industrial factories.
Small farms, small batches, fresh roasts every month, and that
means you will taste and feel the difference, and you
only get fresh beans in your cup. Try their dark
or their medium roast for bold flavor, a smooth finish,

(37:52):
and zero acidity. You need an extra morning boost. Their
Mushroom Coffee Blend is the best tasting out there, made
to fuel your mind.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
And if you're a CA cup drinker, don't worry.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
These have real coffee inside, no freeze dried junk. So
go to seventeen seventy five Coffee dot com slash rab
and use code rab for your ten percent off of
your order. We are obsessed with this coffee over here
at rav.

Speaker 3 (38:18):

single morning. Get your coffee at seventeen seventy five Coffee

Speaker 4 (38:34):
Right now, and now that we are caffeinated, it's time
to stay awake.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Not woke, Terrence, you out there, you awake.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Over there barely. I did have my seventeen seventy five
coffee this morning, though, Doctor Gina. By the way, I
love that mug. It's one of my all times.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
It's nice. This is a nice mug on a label side.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
There you go like it's a nice heavy mug. It
is one of my favorites. I've got this one right now,
but I typically drink out of that seventeen seventy five
mug as well. Anyway, doctor Gina, I want you to
stick around because a former Democratic fundraiser claims that the
party is in shambles.

Speaker 14 (39:09):
Listen, I actually had a donor call me at three
thirty am just a few days ago complaining about how
there's no leadership, the party is completely rudderless, and they
basically elected fifty percent of the people who got us
into this mess.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
All right, doctor Gina, I'd love to get your perspective here.
I'm just going to set this up with Johnny come lately, anybody.
It's not like this is a new thing. The party's
been rudderless for months now, for years.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
They have no values, Terrence. We've talked about this. There's
no values, there's no authenticity. They have nothing to offer
people other than lies. And the bottom line is the
American people no longer trust the Democrat Party. They have
a full on identity crisis. But all they know is
that they have a power crisis. That's all they're perceiving.
They need to come back to reality and realize no,

(40:02):
they have a whole identity crisis. They need to espouse
some actual values authentically.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
And to your point, doctor Gina, yeah, there's a lack
of leadership, but that lack of leadership comes from the
fact that the platform is BS. I'm not going to
use the words, but there's no real platform. There's no
substantive platform that the party is able to espouse and push,
and so of course you can't have leadership. And of
course the American people aren't buying what you're selling.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
Democrats, right, when you divide people up based on factors
they can't control, like the color of their skin, like
the age that they are right, like the gender that
God made them born with. When you divide people up
and tribalize them over.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Those sorts of issues, it's.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
A losing scenario for the groups that you're claiming to help.
And finally people are waking up to this terrence and
it's just it's a new day in America. So many
of us feel like for the first time, the things
we've been saying for decades are finally resonating and taking
place in public policy, which is just such a beautiful thing.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
Yeah, Democrats definitely need to retool. And doctor Gene, I
fully agree with you. You said this often that yes,
you don't necessarily support Democrats, but you want Democrats to
at least be able to bring a counter argument to
the table, something of substance, and that hasn't happened. I
hope I haven't misquoted you, but that's how I understand,
and I fully.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Agree with you.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
No, we want a strong two party system. And when
the Democrats are this broken that all they can do
is lie and cheat and steal and defraud, that's not
a healthy America. I want a healthy Democrat party. We
might disagree on some things, but I want a healthy
Democrat party that's telling the truth to the American people.
That is a stiff competition, because competition are your sharpensired?

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Is competition keeps us sharp, Terrence.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
See doctor Gina. I listen to you, Terence.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
I well, look, it's coming up.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
It is President's Day, which of course means that we're
honoring America's foundations. Ahead hear from an historian about the
best values in core beliefs to keep in mind on
this patriotic day. It's ahead on American seconds.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
God bless the US.

Speaker 6 (42:29):
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.

Speaker 5 (42:37):
Welcome back everybody to American Centrize. I'm David Brodie. Time
now for our moment of faith. Of course, it is
brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God blessed
the USA. Bible in Focus today had of you President's Day.
Though it's not a Christian holiday, obviously, it does serve
more purposes than a federal and state holiday. It's day
to look back on American history, to honor Presidents Washington

(42:59):
and Lincoln, not George H. W. Bush, but anyhow, he's
one of the presidents. Oh there's another one. It's also
to celebrate freedom, patriotism, and even if you think about it,
Christian values. Joining us now with insight US historian doctor
Jerry Newcomb, also the executive director of the Providence Forum.
Doctor Newcomb, always good to see you. So, how is
President's Day more than a holiday where we honor two

(43:21):
great men from our nation's passing. It goes beyond that?

Speaker 15 (43:24):
Really well, it does, and I think in many ways
it shows basically the foundation that we have as a nation.
And I do mean by that the Judeo Christian heritage.
For example, George Washington, our first president under the Constitution,
said in his farewell address, of all the dispositions and

(43:44):
habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are
indispensable supports. He said, no one should labor to subvert
these two great pillars of human happiness. And yet today
we see a lot of people, David, in our society.
They're chipping away at those pillars of human happiness. And then,

(44:04):
of course, on President's Day, we honor the memory of
Abraham Lincoln, who led us during the very dark days
of the Civil War and kept us unified as a nation.
And you know about in the middle of the war,
in a prayer proclamation, he asked the nation to pray,
and he said this, He said, we talking about we
as a nation have grown in numbers, wealth and power

(44:25):
as no other nation has ever grown. But we have
forgotten God. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we become too self
sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace,
too proud to pray to the God that made us.
It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended power,

(44:46):
to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency
and Forgiveness March thirty, eighteen sixty three, Abraham Lincoln.

Speaker 5 (44:56):
Wow, this is our herald.

Speaker 14 (44:57):
Now.

Speaker 5 (44:59):
Yeah, we fast forward, and I think one of the
seminal moments in a bad way in American history is
in twenty fifteen when Obama had the White House lit
up in rainbow colors. I'll never forget it because of course,
the Supreme Court ruling an Overkfeld regarding same sex marriage.
To me, that was a seminal moment because it really

(45:20):
shows you when you don't follow the Bible and traditional
Judeo Christian principles, what follows really will wreak havoc on
a society. I'm curious to get your take on that.

Speaker 9 (45:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (45:32):
I think the principle in life applies to individuals and
it applies to nations. And you see it right in
the Bible. You reap what you sown. And I think
what's happening is too often we've been reaping these negative
things that have been sown. I mean, you know, bottom
line is righteousness exaltation, but sin is a reproach to
any people. That biblical principle also prevails, and I think

(45:56):
some of our presidents the ones that showed us, you know,
to follow God and so what they followed that basic
principle that righteousness exalts the nation.

Speaker 7 (46:06):
You know.

Speaker 15 (46:06):
John Adams, our second president, once said this. He said
that our constitution was made only for a moral and
religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of
any other. So it really shows you, ultimately, David, what
our great need is is revival and doctor d James Kennedy,
the ultimate founder of Coral Ridge Ministries, where I've am

(46:29):
privileged to serve all these years at Providenceforum dot Org lately.
But bottom line is he once said, you know, the
revival ultimately will come from the bottom up, from the
people to the higher levels of government, not from the
government down.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
Well, doctor Newcomb, I appreciate it. Thank you so much
for being here. Great advice, spiritual advice. Thank you so much.
Thank you, and happy back with Happy President, say to
you too. Back with the second hour of American Centriz
in two minutes back.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Then coming up on this second hour of American Sunrise.
European leaders are reportedly planning a meeting about how to
best handle President Trump. We've got the details plus negotiations

(47:23):
that end the Russia Ukraine war are set to begin
in Saudi Arabia tomorrow. Coming up, what to expect and
why a meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin may
be what ultimately decides the matter. Finally, Hamas releases more hostages.
How much did President Trump's warning to the Hamas terrorists
play a role in these latest releases? That story and

(47:46):
so much more right now on this second hour of
American Sunrise.

Speaker 5 (47:52):
Good morning, America.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Welcome to American Sunrise.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Well, it's culture.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
We have breaking news to share with you.

Speaker 10 (48:01):
Politics.

Speaker 5 (48:02):
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
We've got your couple.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
We have to protect the American family.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
The American dream is still alive.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
I'm doctor Tina.

Speaker 5 (48:24):
Welcome back, everybody to the second hour of American sun Rise.
I'm David Brody, coming to you from DC. Let's bring
in doctor g She's in West Palm t Bates in
our Denver newsroom. Happy President's Day to you and for
the liberals, Gina, it's Trump all day, all the time.
That's not a good President's day for them, good morning.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Good morning. No, you're exactly right.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
I can't imagine if they imagine for a moment if they,
in all of their deception, had a president who was
as active and successful and gaining popularity as Donald Trump.
Oh my goodness. I mean, you know, the difference is
that he came by this victory honestly, as opposed to

(49:06):
the Democrats who won dishonestly or got the White House dishonestly.
But you would feel so demoralized. They've got nothing to
stand on anymore. I don't know what they're going to do.
They are really truly in crisis.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Terrence now agreed, and we're gonna ride the Trump train
on the victory. The victory has already been one, but
there's still so much work to be done, and President
Trump is already doing it. So we're going to continue
to ride that train. Hey guys. Look, peace talks related
to the war between Russia and Ukraine ramping up, as
top Us and Russian officials are set to meet in

(49:38):
Saudi Arabia tomorrow. That meeting also is to set up
a sit down between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Prutin.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the US delegation,
which will include US Envoy Steve Wickkoff as well as
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Tomorrow's negotiation follows President Trump's
phone conversations with both President Putin and Zelenski. You may

(50:02):
remember Vice President jd Vance also met with the Ukrainian
President Friday in Munich, Germany. While government offices are closed
today in observance of President's Day, Elon Musk's DOGE team
will be hard at work rooting out fraud wasted abuse.
The team is expected to visit the Federal Aviation Administration's
Air Traffic Control Command Center in suburban Washington, DC today.

(50:26):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says DOGE personnel will get a
first hand look at the current system. They'll also learn
what air traffic controllers like and dislike about their current tools,
and envision how we can make a new, better, modern,
and safer system. Today's DOGE review comes on the heels
of several hundred FAA probationary employees being fired as part

(50:48):
of President Trump and Elon Musk campaign to cut the
size of the federal government. Well the Trump Department of
Justices calling on the US Supreme Court to decide whether
the commander in chief can fire hire the head of
the US Office of Special Counsel. The independent agency protects
federal employees who are whistleblowers. Hampton Dellinger sued the Trump

(51:09):
administration after being fired by email last month. He argues
that his firing was illegal, based on a law that
protects leaders of independent agencies from being fired by the president,
accept for in cases of neglective duty, malfeasance, or inefficiency.
As a result, a federal judge issued a temporary order
last week allowing Delandra to keep his job while the

(51:31):
case is adjudicated. The US Appeals Court has since rejected
the Trump administration's request to.

Speaker 7 (51:37):
Overrule the lower court's ruling.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
The dj has now taken the case to the Supreme Court,
whose ruling on this matter could be precedent setting when
it comes to President Trump being able to fire government
workers as well as agency heads. At least ten people
are dead across the Southeast, nine of them in Kentucky
following massive flooding there. The state's governor says he expects
that number of dead to increase as the water recedes

(52:02):
and rescue and recovery operations continue. Look at this video.
This is some of the floodwaters. The deadly flooding is
a result of more than six inches of rain in
some areas. Kentucky Governor Andy Basheer says the White House
has already approved his request for an emergency disaster declaration.
Plus the Federal Emergency Management Agency is on the ground
there in Kentucky ready to step in where needed. That's

(52:26):
a quick checking the day's headlines. We'll have more head
offuts coming up things a little bit. But now let's
get you back over to David Brody and doctor Gina.

Speaker 5 (52:36):
There's our meeting today, guys on how best to figure
out what to do about President Trump's comments regarding an
end to the Ukraine Russia war. Of course, Trump suggested
Europe would essentially have no role when it comes to
negotiations here at the end to end the war. But
it's all very much up in the air. You've got
French President Macron. He's called this emergency meeting that to

(52:57):
purportedly discuss how best to handle the challenges posed by
President Trump's comments. US officials are in Saudi Arabia to
talk with Russian officials about how best to end the
bloody war. So for more, let's bring in Principal Deputy
Press Secretary Harrison Fields, who joins us. Now, Harrison, thanks
for being here. So Europe freaking out. Meanwhile, you got

(53:21):
the deal maker in chief. He's working his diplomatic magic.
What can you tell us about all of this that's
going to be transpiring in Saudi Arabia Monday morning?

Speaker 16 (53:29):
Good morning to you, by the way, good morning to everyone,
and thank you so much for having me. And you're right,
there's a new sheriff in town. And not just Europe,
but the entire globe is freaking out because they have
an American president that's actually going to fight for this
country again and not let our allies and foes take
advantage of us. So President Trump on day one, he
made it very clear that he is not Joe Biden

(53:50):
or Kamala Harris. He's going to fight for this nation
and a lot of our neighboring countries and people in
Europe may not like that because they've gotten away with
unfair trade. They've gone away with sending their worst of
the worst to this country via the southern and northern border.
And President Trump has put a stop on that on
January twentieth, So they've got to recalculate, figure out how

(54:11):
to best move forward. And I can just tell our
friends and foes alike, respect the United States, respect President Trump,
and you should be.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
All right, let's focus on a domestic issue, and that
would be DOGE. Virginia Senator Tim Kaine saying, the DOGE
is lying about its work. Listen, and I'd like your response.
On the other side, I.

Speaker 17 (54:31):
Don't like letting unelected officials, you know, post Yesterday the
DOGE guys post classified information on their website and they
had to realize, oh, we didn't realize that agency was
a classified agency. You shouldn't let people run rampage through
offices that have classified information.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
So, Harrison, what do you make of all of that,
particularly light of the fact that DOGE is simply trying
to rein in spending and make sure the government runs
more efficiently.

Speaker 16 (55:00):
Right, well, Tim Kaine is knowingly gaslighting the American people.
If you go to DOGE dot gov, you can see
it all on the open for everyone, and if you
have X you can go follow DOGE on X. And
Elon Musk is very transparent on his own account. DOZE
is doing one simple thing that people like Tim Kaine
do not like. They're exposing the waste, fraud, and abuse
in this country. And they're doing so with a mandate

(55:22):
from seventy seven million Americans and of course the President
of the United States that has tasked Elon Musk and
company to make sure you go into every single agency
and shine a big, beautiful light on the corruption, the waste,
the fraud, and the abuse of the American taxpayer dollars.
That is simply what's happening. Doze did not release any
classified information. If you go to doge dot gov, you

(55:45):
will see where all the information is sourced. A lot
of that information is sourced is from the Office of
Personal Management, also known as OPM. If you go to
OPM dot gov, you will also find the information that
DOGE has laid out out properly on the website. Tim Kaine,
as the Senator, should know that, but of course you
would rather gaslight the American people because they have no

(56:06):
better answer to President Trump and his mission for this country.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
As a Trump is sending a team to Saudi Arabia
to begin discussions on how to end Russia's were with Ukraine.
These talks are scheduled to begin tomorrow. Ukraine reportedly didn't
receive an invite for these talks. Here's what Ukrainian President
Vladimir Zolinsky had to say.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
Take a look, have.

Speaker 18 (56:30):
You been given any assurances that Ukraine will have an
equal seat at the negotiating table.

Speaker 19 (56:38):
So I will never accept any decisions between the United
States and Russia about Ukraine. Never and our people, never
an our adults and children and everybody.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
It's going to show this.

Speaker 19 (56:50):
Is the war in Ukraine against us and these our
human losses. We're thankful for all the support united between
USA in USA around Ukraine, support by Batzisan, unity, by
Patisan's support. Who I'm thankful for all of this, But
there is no any leader in the world who can

(57:11):
really make a deal with putting without us about us.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
So, after all the things that America has done, if
you crainate, this is what he said, what I understood
him to say. I want to hear if you heard
the same thing. After all the things America has done
for him and for them, he won't accept a decision
if President Trump comes to one with the aggressor. By
the way, you don't normally go and meet with the
person the aggressie. Right, you go and you meet with

(57:38):
the aggressor. That's what Donald Trump is doing. That's the
art of the deal. This is completely solid practice in
terms of diplomatic relations.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
Unless I'm missing something.

Speaker 16 (57:50):
Well, I don't think you're missing much. The thing about
it is Vladimir is Zelensky. He's gotten used to it
President and Joe Biden. That is basically just you know
when Vladimir's Lensky says jump Joe Biden and used to
say how high. And President Trump isn't doing that anymore.
That's not to say he won't be welcomed to the
table in the near future, but right now we have
our mind focus on it one. How do we stop

(58:11):
the carnage, how do we stop the blood? And how
do we bring peace to Eastern Europe. That's exactly what
President Trump is doing. How that happens, again, this is
the art of the deal. He is going to put
forth his Vice President, Mike Waltz, Secretary Rubio, and a
gang of other people that know what they're doing, that
aren't going to take sides. They're going to say what
is the best solution, not just for Russia and Ukraine,

(58:35):
but for all of Europe and most of all, what's
the best solution for the American people. Throwing money at
this problem, as Joe Biden has done for over three years,
was not the solution. That was just contributing to the problem.
Now we have the adults back in charge at the table,
and they are going to be focused on bringing peace,
not just the Eastern Europe, but also to the Middle

(58:55):
East where we see carnage after carnage between Israel and
the Gaza strip.

Speaker 5 (59:01):
Yeah, and Harrison, the truth of the matter is Lensi's
got no leverage. I mean, Trump knows it. He's got nothing,
So he's got to Lenski's gonna have to figure that
part out. Hey, before you go, can you just tell
us what it's been like to be there in the
White House. This has been a well oiled machine. I
don't know if you need to take a calgan bath
or Alca seltzer every night. Just but when I say

(59:21):
alka seltzer more just like I don't know motrin. Just
because he Trump keeps going and going, He's not seventy
eighties thirty eight, twenty eight eighteen. The point is this
guy never stops and Caroline Lovett has just been let's
be honest, can we just be straight up. I mean,
she's been spectacular. So I'm just curious to get your
take about what that environment's been like inside the White House.

Speaker 16 (59:43):
It's been so great to be back. I served in
the first administration. Here I am on round two, serving
on Caroline's great team as her principal deputy. Like you said,
she is spectacular. She's a bulldog. She accurately defends the
president against the hostile media. We are bruising in the
White House. We say all gas, no breaks. It's been
a tremendous honor. And I go home after a very

(01:00:05):
long day and I rest my hand on the pillow
after seeing my wife and my four month old daughter,
and I'm just so happy because I'm rewarded every single
day knowing that we're fulfilling the mission of the seventy
seven million Americans that voted for us, but also the
entire country that let's be real, they all are happy
that President Trump is back. Look at the polling numbers.
President Trump is polling higher than he's ever pulled before.

(01:00:28):
We are at a really good spot in America. We
are entering week four and we've done more in four
weeks than President Trump was President Biden was able to
do in four years. So we're moving in, Reuben. It's
a great day at the White House. It's a great
day for America and we are just now getting started.

Speaker 5 (01:00:45):
Well, Harrison, thanks for serving the country, Thanks for making
the sacrifice. And it looks like the sequel is even
better than the originals. Like The Godfather was great, but
the Godfather Part two actually maybe even a better movie.
So I appreciate it. Thank you.

Speaker 16 (01:00:58):
Goodness here, yeah, bless you.

Speaker 5 (01:01:01):
All right, coming up, President Trump's approval ratings continue to
remain high as he wraps up his first month in office.
As Harrison was talking about, we'll show you those details.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
But first activist David Hogg recently elected.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
Vice chairman of the DNC. But are his fundraising efforts
focused on the party or oh himself? We have those answers.
As American sun Rise rolls on on a President's Day Monday.

(01:01:47):
All right, welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody.
Great to have you with us this morning. Time now
to drain the swamp, and this morning we're flushing out
the new DNC Vice chairman David Hogg. There he is
since the power at the DNC. Hag has reportedly been
fundraising money for a super pack he is in charge of.
So this pack is called Leaders We Deserve and he

(01:02:11):
has reportedly fundraised one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars
to the pack. How is this not against the rules?
Apparently it's not, even though it is frowned upon. Let's
bring in doctor g and T to talk about this.
By the way, he's also making a salary, you know.
You know he's got this salary for the pack as well.

(01:02:31):
By the way, Gina, he was reached by phone by
the Post on this and he said, I'm not doing
any interviews and then he hung up the phone.

Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
Your take, I mean, this guy, you know how I
met him. I met him and here in Florida that
terrible tragic shooting at Parkland, and he was doing anything
he could to try to get on TV. I mean,
he was literally coming close to threatening us if we

(01:02:58):
didn't put his face on TV. But oh, by the way,
he got famous on the backs of the dead children
at Parkland. And by the way, he didn't even know
anyone involved in it. There were no friends, no relatives,
no siblings. I'm good friends with many of the families
from Parkland now that I live here and everything, and
I can tell you that he is persona non grata
with them. But it doesn't surprise me that he's grifting

(01:03:20):
and he's bilking the DNC, and he's started his own
pack so that he can also builk donors.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
And this is who he is.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
Hog is about the most appropriate name for human being.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
I think I maybe ever heard before, Terrence.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I'm just gonna say this. I foresee him following in
the path of a George Santos. I think there's a
blueprint with George Santos, and I foresee him following in
the path. He may not be elected to office, but
he obviously is the second in charge of the Democratic
National Convention Committee, excuse me, and I suspect that a
lot more will come out about his character and some
of his business dealings with this pack, and there might

(01:03:59):
be charges in the law.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
I'll tell you something.

Speaker 4 (01:04:02):
I want to say something, Terrence in response to that.
I know both of them, and I can tell you
David Hogg makes Santos look like a choir boy. You
there is no comparison in these two. I'm not necessarily
defending Santos. I do think he got to some degree
maybe a little bit of a bad rap, just because.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
They wanted a Republican to jump on and he was there.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
But David Hogg is this this story is so gross.
I think as you put it today, David, on our
morning call, or maybe it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
Was our executive producer said, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:04:34):
So slimy that it makes you feel slimy to talk
about how flimy it's really true.

Speaker 5 (01:04:42):
Yeah, it could be the swampiest. So we talked about
this on the morning call. It could be the swampiest
story we've done here. I mean, this is this epitomizes
the swampy. It does make you wonder about the Democrats.
Why the world would you even hire take this guy
on and elect him as vice chairman. It's going to
be baggage after baggage, you see, Terrence, as you were saying,
and Gina as well, just going down the road of

(01:05:03):
just like you know, it's gonna be one controversy after
another with the Scots.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
I'm sorry, but I've ever seen lots. I foresee I
foresee a criminal investigation down the road. Again at this moment,
there's no evidence, but it wouldn't it all surprise me
if evidence does come out about some sort of financial mouthfeasons,
I wouldn't be surprised at all, wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (01:05:25):
So Yeah, the Terrence Bates crystal ball. All right, we've
got to hear we're gonna remember that tape. Let's queue
up to take let's let's archive that tape. All right,
coming up on American Centrize. How much did former President
Bill Clinton sound like President Trump in the nineteen nineties,
Actually quite a bit when it came to cleaning up
the federal bureaucracy, and we have the tape to prove it.

(01:05:47):
First though, President Trump continues to show he's a man
of the people. He's mixing it up at the Daytona
five hundred with the Maga Faithful. That's next on American Centrize.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
Welcome back everyone. Life is a beach and I wish
I was on a beach right now, because I just
had to dig myself out from under about an inch
and a half of snow here in the Denver area.
So yes, this is more for me than it is
for you. I'm sorry, but I needed to see ocean
and sun and sand, all those things that I will
be flocking too soon. Anyway, we're getting ready for the

(01:06:48):
opening bell. Actually today there is no opening bell at
the New York Sock Exchange. The markets are closed today,
but I can tell you that the futures are looking
pretty good at the moment. The dows s and P
five hundred and NASDAC in the green. Again, these are futures.
There will be no trading today as it is President's
Day and the stock markets are closed. But tomorrow first
thing right around this time will take you to New

(01:07:10):
York and the opening bell there at the New York
Stock Exchange. Now, though, let's get you over to David Brodie. David,
I almost messed up. I knew there was no opening bell,
but its habit. I almost said, oh, there's an opening bell.
I was like, no, there's not. It's President's Day. No
opening bell to day Terrence.

Speaker 9 (01:07:23):
Yeah, yeah, we.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
Call that anchor muscle memory. Yeah, now I hear it.
That's for sure. Okay, all right, so Tee, we want
to take a little time on this show to honor
President's Day twenty twenty five, not certain presidents, but overall
President's Day today, not just in honor of president's Washington
and Lincoln, but a celebration really of all the men
who have assumed the highest job in the land and

(01:07:46):
did the selfless act of serving for more. Let's bring
in presidential historian Craig Shirley to talk about this. Craig
tell us about this holiday. Walk us through the history
of President's Day. Good morning to you.

Speaker 20 (01:07:59):
Good morning, David.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Well.

Speaker 21 (01:08:00):
It first started with Congress back in the eighteen eighties
when they commemorated a day for George Washington, then later for.

Speaker 20 (01:08:10):
Abraham Lincoln.

Speaker 21 (01:08:12):
And it was like that for a period of I
don't know, one hundred years, until the nineteen sixties when
they moved Washington's birthday to the third Monday in February
to give federal federal workers a three day holiday, and
then they merged together Washington and Lincoln on that third Monday.
So now, but now it's evolved into a celebration of

(01:08:35):
all presidents on President's Day, which I frankly resent because
I don't think that great presidents like Washington or Lincoln
or Reagan should be lumped in with special needs presidents
like Biden or Franklin, Pierce or Millard fillmore and something
like that. I think they out have their special especial afternoon,
maybe maybe a lunch break or a coffee break for

(01:08:58):
the for the bad presidents, and just leave the good
presidents alone. We do live in a meritocracy, right, so
why honor meritless presidents?

Speaker 5 (01:09:08):
Actually that's a really good point, you know, why why
celebrate I mean, this idea of celebrating these people who
serve sacrificially. Let's be honest, so many of them, I mean,
I'm sorry, I don't want to dislike every president in
the United States, but so many of them are narcissists.
I mean they look in the mirror and they go, hey,
I think I'll be president one day. Let's be honest.

Speaker 20 (01:09:27):
Yeah, no, they're exactly right. But we have to.

Speaker 21 (01:09:30):
But but you know, look is that we apply. Not
everybody gets into the Baseball.

Speaker 20 (01:09:35):
Hall of Fame.

Speaker 21 (01:09:36):
Uh, you know, only the best players get in the
Baseball Hall of Fame. Not everybody gets into uh you know,
the Canton, Ohio the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Speaker 20 (01:09:45):
Only the best players get into Canton.

Speaker 21 (01:09:47):
So why shouldn't only the best presidents be celebrated on
President's Day?

Speaker 20 (01:09:51):
And like I.

Speaker 21 (01:09:52):
Said, for the for the for the mediocre bad presidents
give them, you know some other you know, like I said,
a coffee breaker and after noon or you know something
like that. You know it's called that, you know, mediocre
president's afternoon or something, you know, and just leaving for
great man like Reagan or Washington or you know Reagan

(01:10:13):
or Washington, or Lincoln or Franklin Roosevelt.

Speaker 20 (01:10:16):
People be like presidents like that.

Speaker 5 (01:10:19):
Such a good point. Speaking of presidents, let's talk about
President Trump. These approval ratings are through the roof, Craig.
You've got RG research saying that Trump has a whopping
fifty five percent approval rating. Now, I'm curious historically where
that fits as it relates to other presidents. I mean,
obviously other presidents have had strong approval ratings of time.

(01:10:39):
But for Trump to have this type of approval rating
after everything he's been through and all the vitriol thrown
at him, this is pretty remarkable. I'm curious to get
your take historic now.

Speaker 20 (01:10:48):
You're yeah, you're absolutely right, David. It's astonishing.

Speaker 21 (01:10:51):
We live in a very polarized world now and for
him to get a fifty five percent approval, you know,
when Reagan left office, he has seventy three percent approval,
and John Kennedy after the Bey of Pigs got up
to a seventy percent approval rating. George Bush after the
Gulf War got up to like ninety percent approval or.

Speaker 20 (01:11:11):
Something like this. But those are anomalies. At least Bush
was that was an anomaly.

Speaker 21 (01:11:16):
Reagan's was well deserved after eight years, as was John
Kennedy after the after his you know, with his presidency
all considered. But for Trump to get fifty five percent,
that's that's that's a mandate. That is a mandate from
the American people to continue doing what he's doing. So

(01:11:38):
obviously he's not listening to the insiders. He's not listening
to the intelligentsia. He's not listening to the people who
surrounded who supported the Biden administration and supported Joe Biden
all of his nonsense, nonsensical policies, and he's he should
take great comfort and knowing, you know, both Lincoln and

(01:11:58):
Reagan talked about you couldn't get a lot of things
done in Washington or in government unless you had the
support of the American people.

Speaker 20 (01:12:06):
Well, Trump has the support of the American.

Speaker 21 (01:12:08):
People, so he should well he will continue doing what
he's been doing.

Speaker 5 (01:12:14):
Craig Shurley, great to have you on the show on
a Monday, on any day, but thank you for being here.

Speaker 20 (01:12:18):
Appreciate you, bet, David. Happy President's Day.

Speaker 5 (01:12:22):
You too, Happy President's Day. All right, Time to send
it over to Team Bates. We don't have an opening
bell today, but anyhow, bottom line, it's all still sponsored
by AMAC.

Speaker 9 (01:12:32):
The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice
for Americans fifty and older. AMAC is fighting for the
values that you hold, dear. Joined today, together we can
wright the course of America.

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):

is up as well as silver is down, but crude
oil is up. This, of course the futures. The markets

American Sunrise, Our next guest will explain how dark money
has been working inside the federal government. First, though the
White House has reportedly banned the Associated Press indefinitely from
certain areas. They'll tell you what next to you on

(01:14:36):
American Sunrise.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
All right, welcome back to American Centrise. I'm doctor g.
Thanks for joining us this morning.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
We invite you to join in our conversation on Getta
and Rumble. Time now to take the political pulse of.

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
America the beat today.

Speaker 4 (01:15:10):
We've all seen President Trump and Doze trying to reign
in federal government spending, and the media and Democrats have
slammed those efforts. But did anyone bad and I when
Bill Clinton said the same thing back in the nineties.

Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
Tick to listen.

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
The people demand and deserve an active government on their side.

Speaker 10 (01:15:28):
But they don't want a government that.

Speaker 5 (01:15:29):
Wastes money, a government that costs.

Speaker 6 (01:15:32):
More and does less. They voted for change.

Speaker 5 (01:15:36):
They wanted a literal revolution in the way government operates.

Speaker 10 (01:15:40):
And now you and I must deliver.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
Also, Seapack is coming up this week and rap corresponding
Ben Burkwam is going to be at the event, as
are your three hosts here on this particular show, And
We're excited to all be together for the first time.
Ben is on the ground right now at the border
with our finest border patrol agents.

Speaker 3 (01:16:02):
Take a look.

Speaker 7 (01:16:05):
The cartel is getting really frustrated.

Speaker 10 (01:16:08):
Smuggling human trafficking.

Speaker 16 (01:16:12):
They want to make their money.

Speaker 7 (01:16:16):
And they're getting stopped right now.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
He's gotten Acruss.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
They're gonna keep coming.

Speaker 10 (01:16:25):
He started throwing rock.

Speaker 8 (01:16:31):
We'll keep fighting for you. They won't give up.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
For more.

Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
Let's bring in the managing editor of The Daily Signal
and author of the new book The Woke to Puss
The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating Federal Spending, Tyler O'Neill. What
a fun title. I absolutely love it, Tyler. We want
to talk about your book in a second. But first,
did anyone bad and I when Bill Clinton called to
reign and government spending and cut the size of government.

(01:16:57):
Was there all of this complete outrage and shock and awe.

Speaker 22 (01:17:01):
No, it's funny. You didn't have people going on TV
saying it was the end of the world that the
federal government.

Speaker 16 (01:17:07):
Was being dismantled.

Speaker 22 (01:17:09):
It really, it really shocks me that there wasn't that
sort of outrage, right, I mean, we tend to forget
Bill Clinton called for cutting waste and abuse in federal government. Also,
a certain little known Illinois state senator by the name
of Barack Obama did the same thing when he became president,
and you didn't see the same sort of freak out

(01:17:30):
that we're seeing now that Elon Musk has actually come
in and helped Donald Trump do this in a more
muscular fashion, that is, holding our government accountable to the
American people, restraining fraud, waste and abuse. And I think
this is a really tremendous step forward. And it is
it is rather revealing and quite sad that many Democrats

(01:17:54):
seem willing to die on the hill of fighting this
effort for sanity in Washington.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
Well, the Associated Press also dying on a pretty unique hill.
Another story that's making headlines is Morning Tyler. Is the
White House in definitely banning the AP over its use
of the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Golf of America.
Officials say they are indefinitely banned from the Oval Office
as well as Air Force One. All of this, of course,
coming after President Trump signed that executive order saying that

(01:18:23):
the name is now officially the Gulf of America. What
do you make of all of this, Tyler.

Speaker 22 (01:18:29):
Well, see, I love the switch from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Gulf of America. But I think that
the big message here is that the Associated Press has
you know, they claim to be the.

Speaker 16 (01:18:41):
Number one news outlet.

Speaker 22 (01:18:43):
They're they're giving you straight news, and yet what we
see constantly from them, and they publish the standards by
which all other journalists pretty much decide to cover the news,
and their AP style book has intentionally twisted things against
They've tried to make dissent from the left shibalus unthinkable.

(01:19:05):
So when it comes to climate alarmism, when it comes
to transgender orthodoxy, the AP style guide says, you have
to report the news in a way that props up
these narratives. They say, you know, you're supposed to have
both sides of a story, except when it comes to
climate alarmism.

Speaker 16 (01:19:24):
And of course, whenever they.

Speaker 22 (01:19:26):
Cite a transgender activist group, they don't go and find
a quote from the other side to include in their coverage.
So I'm really glad that the AP is being exposed
the way that they are in this case. I just
wish that the issue at hand was something a little
bit bigger than the Gulf of America.

Speaker 5 (01:19:47):
Well, maybe it will be at some point. And Jake
Novak was texting me during the show. He made a
really good point, He said, the hypocrisy of the ap
because Ukraine wanted them to one of the associated press
to change the name of Kiev from uh Or it
was Kiev then to Kiev, and they went ahead and
did that. So you know, there's a lot of hypocrisy

(01:20:08):
in there, but we'll get to that another time. All right,
let's talk about CBS News and their host, Margaret Brennan.
She had this outlandish claim over the weekend claiming free
speech was weaponized in Germany to conduct the Holocaust. Anyhow,
here I got to play this. I'm done. I don't
even know what's I'm bumbling. I'm stumbling over myself. Here's

(01:20:29):
the SoundBite. Loh, my goodness.

Speaker 18 (01:20:31):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech
was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with
the head of a political party that has far right
views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context
of that was changing the tone of it. And you

(01:20:55):
know that that the censorship disagree with specifically about the right.

Speaker 23 (01:20:59):
Now I have to disagree with you the free speech
was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was
conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also
be genocidal because they hated Jews, and they hated minorities,
and they hated those that they had a list of
people they hated, but primarily the Jews. There was no
free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was
also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were a sole

(01:21:20):
and only party that governed that country. So that's not
an accurate reflection of history.

Speaker 5 (01:21:26):
Whom thank you, Marco Rubio. Has Margaret Brennan never heard
of the Enabling Act of nineteen thirty three? I mean,
is she insane? She literally insane?

Speaker 22 (01:21:36):
Tyler, Well, I think this is an example yet again
of the wocal elites trying to find any weapon they
can to silence dissent from their agenda. If you can claim,
if you can compare to Hitler and to the Nazis
anything that your opposition suggests, for instance, you know, having
free speech, there is nothing less Hitlarian and less Nazi

(01:22:00):
then defending free speech. I mean, this is this is
the regime. Remember that we all, we all have seen
the pictures of them burning bibles, burning books like this
is this is what they did. They're known for this,
and so on the one hand, you get the left saying, oh,
if if Moms for Liberty doesn't want sexually explicit materials

(01:22:21):
in school libraries, that's hilarian, that's a new Holocaust. But
on the other hand, if they're not censoring conservatives enough
and suppressing their free speech, that is exactly the sort
of thing that leads to the Holocaust, according to Margaret Brennan.
And it's like, you can't have both of these things.
And I think they know it, but they're so far

(01:22:42):
in the back foot right now that they're grasping its straws.

Speaker 4 (01:22:46):
Oh, come on, Tyler, I mean everyone knows that free
speech leads to totalitarianism.

Speaker 3 (01:22:52):
Wait did she have history like in grade school? In
high school?

Speaker 4 (01:22:56):
I mean, I just I cannot even fathom how you
can with a straight face sit on national television with
any form of credibility ever again, I would think you
would lose your job for on national television making a
statement that free speech led to Nazi Germany.

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
It's mind boggling, Tyler. We want to hear about your
new book. Tell us about it.

Speaker 22 (01:23:19):
Yeah, So in the woke to pus the dark money
cabal manipulating the federal government, I trace, I peel back
the onion showing whenever there's a woke policy in the
Biden administration, normally there are leftist pressure groups behind it.
And behind those leftist pressure groups is this massive left

(01:23:39):
wing dark money apparatus. People that you probably have heard of,
like George Soros and his Open Society foundations now run
by his son Alex. Groups you probably haven't heard of,
like the Tides Foundation, that funnel dark money to activist groups,
and the Tides Foundation has itself an in house nonprofit
that's focused on defending anti Israel rioters after they engage

(01:24:03):
in their violence and activities on college campuses. It's called
Palestine Legal.

Speaker 5 (01:24:08):
Go look it up.

Speaker 22 (01:24:09):
It's shocking anyway. Most recently, I found many ties between
the woke activist groups that were calling the shots in
the Biden administration and US AID, which, as the name suggests,
it's all about AID. It was really about soft power,
but in recent decades it's been weaponized to spread woke
ideology abroad that actually limits America's vision in the world

(01:24:33):
and are standing with many of these conservative countries where
we've seen transgenderism, we've seen climate alarmism, we've seen other
things pushed on countries and DII musicals. I mean, how
how insane can an organ can can a federal agency
get all of this with your tax dollars? They're connected

(01:24:53):
to their funding and they're working with these woke activist
groups that called the shots in the bid administration.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
So, Tyler, do you know if DOGE has uncovered some
of what you've uncovered, and if not, should that, in
your mind be part of the scope of Doge's duties.

Speaker 22 (01:25:12):
Yes, I think my book provides a good road map
for more places for DOGE to find, and much of
what dog is found correlates with my book, But there
are extra steps that they can take then my book
lines out. I also make recommendations in the book for
changes that Congress needs to make to rain in the

(01:25:32):
deep state. Unfortunately, we have a fourth branch of government
in this country, called the administrative state, that is often
not accountable to Congress or to the President, even though
it technically falls under the executive branch. One of the
main facets of this is the public sector unions, which,
by the way, the American Federation for Government Employees is

(01:25:54):
filing many of these lawsuits to stop Trump and DOGE
reforms and really sort of you know, squash them down
in the crib. And so these public sector unions, even
FDR said public sector unions should not exist. And I
think one of the main things Congress can do is

(01:26:14):
tax what's called official time.

Speaker 5 (01:26:17):
This is time.

Speaker 22 (01:26:18):
Where bureaucrats are getting paid by the taxpayer to do
work for these public sector unions. And this is a
very clear thing that can fall under budget reconciliation, which
the bill they're working on right now is, and it
directly would weaken this deep state apparatus.

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
Tyler, this is all fascinating stuff to me. I'm a
dollars and cents kind of guy. So I'm gonna call you.
I want to talk more about all of this. Appreciate
you being here with us today.

Speaker 16 (01:26:47):
Yeah, my pleasure. Thanks again for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
All right. Always well, folks, the IRS is the largest
collection agency in the world, and it just stepped up
its enforcement for twenty twenty five. If you happen to
owe back taxes or if you've got unfiled retires, do
not wait for the IRS to come after you simply
trying to avoid your tax troubles probably one of the
worst things you can do. Getting ahead of it is
a smart move, But never ever ever contact the IRS alone.

(01:27:13):
Turn your issues over to the team at Tax Network USA.
Why you ask, Well, it's because not all tax resolution
companies are the same. Tax Network USA has a preferred
direct line to the IRS, which means they know which
agents to deal with and which ones to avoid. Tax
Network USA has proven strategies that are designed to settle

(01:27:33):
your tax problems in your favor, whether you owe ten
grand or ten million dollars. Their attorneys and negotiators also
have resolved over a billion dollars in tax debt. So
talk with one of their strategies for free. Stop the
threatening letters, stop looking over your shoulder, and put your
IRS troubles behind you, once and for all. It's as
simple as calling eight hundred nine oh five eight thousand

(01:27:56):
or visiting TNUSA dot com slash raft that's TNUSA dot
com slash rav coming up. The Obama Library could be
in some trouble. What's the lawsuit there? They're facing all
about We've got the details.

Speaker 10 (01:28:12):
Ahead, Let's spill some tea.

Speaker 1 (01:28:34):
Let's spill some ta is sponsored by Artillery Tea Company.
Artillerytco dot com is the website. Use the promo code
RAV for ten percent off. Artillery t is all natural,
It's holy if the tea bags are chemical free and
each can be used not just once, but twice. Artillery
Tea Company is family and veteran owned and operated, and
a portion of your purchase goes to help veteran and

(01:28:56):
first respond to charities. Artillerytco dot com. That's the website.
Used the promo code RAV and score yourself ten percent off.
All right, folks, let's get right into what's in the
cup today. The Obama Presidential Library could be in some
major trouble. The library was once a major champion of DEI,
and now it's facing a forty million dollar lawsuit tied

(01:29:19):
to race. The library set goals that thirty five percent
of builders and suppliers would be from quote diverse suppliers.
They reportedly hired in one construction a minority owned firm,
and then in another firm, they and then another firm
excuse Me sued claiming that they were racially discriminated against.

(01:29:40):
So let's bring in doctor Gina and David to talk
a bit more about this on. No big surprise here,
but it really goes to the heart of some of
the DEI issues out there.

Speaker 4 (01:29:49):
Doctor Gina, Well, it's Timberch, I would say, Dad Burnett,
you know, I mean, this is not surprising to anyone.
These people talk a good game, they would have there's
their views on everyone else. But then when it comes
right down to actually abiding by the rules, they said
they don't like it so much. Not very surprising, not
a good pr moment, not a good look for Obama

(01:30:12):
or for his library. Can we just ditch the idea
of an Obama library?

Speaker 3 (01:30:15):
Do we really need one? Brody? I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
Well that sadly it's coming in twenty twenty six. You know,
they started in twenty eighteen, not construction. They started with
the idea in twenty eighteen. I was supposed to start
in twenty eighteen. It didn't get started to twenty twenty one.
It's going to come next year, in twenty twenty six,
so it's happening. But look, what did they say, live
by the center or die by the sword. It's the
same thing, kind of lived by DII, die by DEI.
It's the same kind of concept if you will. So

(01:30:39):
we're seeing all of the repercussions and the problems that
DEI causes. And by the way, with this Obama presidential library,
isn't this rich the community activist? Oh, Obama right, former
community actives. Community activists are upset that rent prices in
the area around the library are going to go higher.
So they're not happy. The environmental Oh and that is interesting.

(01:31:01):
They're not happy because trees are dying and bird sanctuaries
are being taken away. So, you know the same people
that you know, I thought Obama cared about the environment.
I thought he cared about the community. No, no, he
just wants his library built in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
Go for it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
Yeah, I'm curious to see how this lawsuit actually goes forward,
to see if it's a successful lawsuit. Had it been
a Democrat a Democrat administration, I would have said probably not.
Now that President Trump is in office, I wonder if
it's going to if it's going to get more traction,
if you will.

Speaker 3 (01:31:36):
Well, and I wonder if there'll be more because well.

Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
I mean that could very well be.

Speaker 4 (01:31:41):
Absolutely yeah, you know this is You're right, David, Live
by the sword, Die by the sword. That's really what
we're looking at here. The Democrats never think of that
when they want to impose their ridiculous policies on real Americans.
And it's nice for them to get a little taste
of their own medicine.

Speaker 5 (01:31:56):
Boom, absolutely boom.

Speaker 1 (01:31:58):
Will continue to cover it, obviously, and you know kind
of what comes on that, Doctor Gina dropping a mic
bam still to come here on American Sunrise, hostage is
finally home and reunited with family members after over a
year in Hamas terrorists captivity. There are moments of joy
and freedom next year on American subs.

Speaker 4 (01:32:32):
All right, welcome back to American Sunrise. Hopp me Monday
to you. I hope you make it a great week.
I'm doctor Gina. Thanks for joining us today. Time now
for our Sunday site up in the pan Today, Hamas
has released more hostages, thanks of course to his stern
warning from President Trump. Here are some of the highlight
I could watch these all day, of these reunions.

Speaker 3 (01:32:52):
Take a look.

Speaker 7 (01:33:03):
I need that I watched, not to say that I've watched.

Speaker 20 (01:33:07):
I need to say that under Femie.

Speaker 3 (01:33:15):
M M. It's beautiful stuff there. David Brodie, it.

Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
Is uh you know, well, I know it's supposed to
be Sunday side up, but but I want to bring
up something on a serious note, which is wonderful to
see that. So don't get me wrong, full stop. Now,
how do they go on with their lives? What what
do they do? And how do they navigate the mental
health aspects of everything that has just happened here with them?

(01:34:06):
And I'm not saying they can't. I'm looking at the
glass half full, but I am saying it's going to
be a challenge. And I think you know this idea
that they all live happily ever after, there is a
dot dot dot to this story in terms of what
the fallout turns from all of this will be. So

(01:34:29):
you know this idea that these hostages are released and
it's just one big happy ending, It's just not the
entire story, to be clear, David.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
I'm glad you brought that up, because I hadn't considered that.
I hadn't thought of that. I was caught up, like
most people in the emotion of Oh, they're home, but
what happens next? How do you move forward? How do
you come to grips with what has happened? And here's
the other thing, David that comes to mind, how do
you come to grips with this feeling that your country,
in this particular case, Israel failed you because there was

(01:35:01):
a lack of security. I suspect that has got to
come up. It's probably not comfortable for us to talk about,
but that's got to be an issue that your country
was invaded by terrorists who took you, and I can
only imagine that's got to be difficult to reconcile.

Speaker 4 (01:35:17):
Yeah, And the other sad part again, you're right, David,
is supposed to be Sunday side up and here I go.
But the other sad part is there are still hostages there.

Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
What happens now, David?

Speaker 5 (01:35:29):
Yeah, I mean we're waiting to find out because that
ceasefire is going to end here soon in the next
what is it week or so technically I believe this
third fit phase is coming up. So we don't know, Gina,
and that's the unknown, and I.

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
Know there's hell to pay if they weren't out by
that certain date, which is of course passed, and.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
They're not all out, so it'll be interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:35:49):
And the way that net Yah, who is handling this
is being sharply criticized in Israeli media.

Speaker 5 (01:35:56):
Yeah, and to be clear, Trump is saying, Yahoo, look
I kind of set you in this area to kind
of do what you need to do. But now it's
really up to net Yahu and how they want to
handle it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:07):
Well, let's talk more about this tomorrow, you guys, shall
we great show today? Thanks for joining us, so much
more for you every single morning. It all starts at
eight am, seven am with Jake Novak and the early
show war Room coming up next. You guys, hug your children,
love your God, go bowlding down and make it a
great week.
