anything that you're looking forward to in this new year?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
David?

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I just think that I'm looking
forward to not covering the news as much because there's
not it's going to be a much slower news year.
No never minds no, yeah's that off my list and
I forget.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
That's not happening.

There you go, me too, Terrence, And I'll tell you
something else. We have a wedding this year. My son
Shaq is marrying my beautiful daughter in love, Maddie. She
is amazing and I love her so much. And I prayed,
you know, for all of these years for the people
that my children would marry, and it's beautiful to see
it come to fruition.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
And I'm going to go ahead.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Since you were throwing stuff out there and you were saying, oh,
what did you say, We're gonna win the mid terms
or something like that. I don't remember, Terence, you just
do and had put it all out there. Oh, it's
going to be a great twenty twenty six. I'm going
to go ahead and put out there I'm going to
get a grand baby this year. I don't know, but
I'm just saying. I have one married, I'll have two married.
It's time, folks. Yeah, kids get busy. Did I say

(03:56):
that out loud? Is that my outside voice? My kids
get onto me out that. Thank god, they don't get
up this early.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
But I'm underachieving.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I'm just I'm just hoping for good grades of this
next step semester. I'm super underachieving. We got babies, go.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I just want good grades. Just just bring home a
good GPA.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
That's all I'm asking.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
See David sits.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Over here on the other side of this set every
day with all these grandchildren.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
I have none.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
All my friends have grandchildren. I have no grandchildren, and.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
So it's part time. I will say, I'm sorry, did
I bury the lead?

Speaker 5 (04:25):
In just a few days, we're expecting our third grandchild.

Speaker 7 (04:29):
So we're excited.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Listen to this, Listen to this story me praying for
I'm like I'd like a little boat someday.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
David's like, well, my three yachts. I don't know which one.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I'm going to spend time on this year, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, well, congratulations to you, David. Doctor Gina. I think
what a great way to transition to our Bible verse.
So we can put good vibes out for David with
the next grandchild.

Speaker 6 (04:55):
Want, Gina, let's pray about it. Let's get that Bible verse.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
You got this today.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Bible verse goes like this Romans twelve two, and do
not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what
is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
One of my all time favorites.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Do not be conformed to this world, be transformed by
the renewing of your mind.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
I love that so much.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Real quick, yeah, I just want to say, so this
is one of your all time favorites. And then again,
every Bible verse using one of your all time favorites. Therefore,
the Bible itself is one of your all time favorites.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
It is it?

Speaker 6 (05:34):
Just hit up it, okay, just making sure.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, I know what's happening this morning.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
All right, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Now the twenty twenty six is officially upon US, attention
shifts to the campaign trails candidates prepare for the mid
term elections. Let's welcome to America sun Rise Steve Gruber,
the host of ABL Live Here on Rev. Steve Early
predictions for this upcoming November red wave, blue wave? Grandchildren,
weddings or yachts.

Speaker 8 (06:04):
Let's see, how about grandchildren having weddings on the yacht?

Speaker 9 (06:07):
How about that they're all together?

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Come about grandchildren?

Speaker 8 (06:11):
Never mind, go ahead, go yeah, all right, here are
my predictions.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
You ready.

Speaker 8 (06:16):
First of all, Ken Paxson will be the next senator
from the state of Texas. There's an easy. Oh, that's
a big play there, it is. That's I think that's easy.
But here's your thing. You look at the United States Senate.
You look at the numbers coming up right now at
the end of twenty five show that Donald Trump and
the Republicans are surging in their approval numbers. And that's
good news. It means the generic ballots coming back to

(06:37):
even again. And the reason being is, look, I don't
know what you're paying for gas in West Palm or
Denver or DC, but I'll tell you this. It's below
two fifty a gallon here in Michigan, and that's a
game changer. When gas was above four dollars a gallon
a couple of years ago. That's I feel a suburban
all right. That's twenty eight gallons of pure pleasure.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
So when you say.

Speaker 8 (06:55):
About and a half a gallon, yeah, that's forty five
bucks in my pocket, all right.

Speaker 10 (07:01):
So that's an important thing, right, let's see.

Speaker 8 (07:04):
So that makes a difference. Two point seven percent is
the inflation rate. But so I'm looking at pickups for
the United States, for the Republicans in places like Georgia, Minnesota,
maybe Michigan, maybe New Hampshire. I mean, you've got good
candidates in all these places, right, so you've got a
real chance not just to hang on to fifty three seats,
but to add to it. The Democrats idea that somehow
they were going to, you know, just walk away with

(07:25):
the midterim. They had that whole attitude in the fall
of twenty five. I think they're going to be in
for a rude awakening when people realize the Democrats have
an eighteen percent approval rating eighteen percent. Chuck Schumer has
lost control Mamdani becomes mayor today, right that it didn't
need the mayor today the first of the year, January first, Yeah, yeah,

(07:46):
so whatever, So he's getting sworn in a little bit
later today.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
So what am I looking for?

Speaker 8 (07:51):
In twenty six you guys were asking that question, the
next manufactured crisis? What's it going to be? Democrats are
going to manufacture something out of thin air and spin
it up and try to make Trump looked badly somehow.
First was Epstein, and all I saw was Bill Clinton's
face smeared all over the Epstein pictures. I mean, good lord,
why do you think there was a painting of Bill
Clinton in Epstein's Manhattan mansion. Gee, let's do the math.

(08:12):
Because he was there all the time and he knew
he had the goods on him. But the next manufacturing crisis,
because they're going to have to have something. They can't
go with the numbers, they can't go with the economy,
they can't go with a secure border, a better economy,
stopping drug runners, stopping these gotiops from delivering oil out
of Venezuela and enriching the drug runners in the cartels.
They've got to come up with something. So it'll be
in the form of lies and disinformation, I believe, because

(08:36):
what else do they have. I mean, look at twenty
five the way it closed out. It closed out really strong.
In the economy, we sat an all time record. We
spent a trillion dollars. I'm waiting for the final trillion
dollars on Christmas. That's an all time record, all time
Black Friday record, all time Cyber Monday record. I mean,
you look at any metric, things are a lot better
than the Democrats have. You believe they want you to

(08:56):
think that America's on fire, and yeah, do we have
some fires to put out. We've got some things we
have to deal with, the concern of terrorism, the concern
of other criminal activity, the concern of you know, what
happens in Venezuela. Can we stop the war with Ukraine
and Russia. That's another thing that'd be a miracle I'd
like in twenty six. But overall, on balance, Donald Trump

(09:17):
finished twenty five and his administration strong, and people see
it and they realize, hey, it took a little while
to get things turned around. But now that it's turned around,
that bus is starting to go to the right direction
and picking up speed. I really believe that, and I
think that people are going to know that by the
fourth of July, when this economy is clicking and we've
got the celebration of two hundred and fifty years of America,

(09:39):
people are going to get that enthusiasm. People are going
to get that enthusiasm manufacturing crisis. The Patriot Games are
going to be like the Hunger Games. There's the most
you know thing that they brought out the end of
twenty five. These people are nuts. I mean, the accomplished
athletes from every state coming to compete. Well, they're pitting
against young men and women against each other.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know.

Speaker 8 (09:59):
I guess I'm a watching these football teams get pitted
against each other, which I'll watch more of today as well.
But I mean just the language they use. They're pitting
young people against each other. It's called sports, folks. I mean,
nobody better. Is that nonsense?

Speaker 1 (10:12):
I see?

Speaker 6 (10:14):
And here's the thing. I agree with you wholeheartedly on
all of that.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
And I'm glad you brought up July fourth because that
comes right after Q two, at the end of quarter
two June thirtieth, where that will start to get better numbers,
better sense of where we are economically as it relates
to the Big Beautiful Bill and all the note taxes
on tips and X, Y and Z.

Speaker 6 (10:32):
So I think that's one.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
Key narrative to watch. And the other key narrative is
that Mom Donnie in New York because he'll have six
months by June thirtieth July first going into the terms,
six seven months of what Mom Donnie's policies are going
to do.

Speaker 6 (10:44):
To New York. And you can believe that.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
The Republican Party slash the Trump administration will use that
as a narrative if it goes south, and we all
expect it will, they'll use it for all those other
candidates in the House because you mentioned the Senate, but
it's the House I'm obviously more concern with, and because
the truth of the matter is if we lose the House,
you know what those Democrats are going to do.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
They're going to try to impeach Trump yet again.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
Yeah, it'll be the circus coming to town again. You
forgot one other major thing coming now that it's the
first of the year, giant refund checks because of the
Big Beautiful Churl Bill. I've been reading here eleven to
twenty thousand dollars. So many refund checks are gonna be
twenty grand coming back to families. You don't think that
makes people happy when they walk on the voting both

(11:29):
What about the two thousand dollars checks? Now that has
to be approved by Congress. But Kevin Hassen talking about
we've got a six hundred billion dollar reduction in the
deficit in twenty twenty five, what a remarkable thing. I
thought the terrorists were going to ruin the whole country.
Apparently they're going to enrich the whole country, not the
other way around.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Boy, I see that.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
I'd love to see all that go to debt relief
and just get our children on track for their future. Anyway,
like wise, doctor g Yeah, what are you doing there?

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Is that a dancer? You try to buy?

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Right?

Speaker 6 (11:57):
Football?

Speaker 9 (11:58):
Get ready for football?

Speaker 10 (11:59):
It's football time.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
That's he's got to get off air with us now,
you guys, because he has a date with a football game.
St you enjoy you got it, enjoy the passes, enjoy
the day.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Thank you, guys.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I don't know football lingo something something? All right, Happy
New Year, everybody, all right? Coming up, we check out
the hottest headlines from the rap newsroom with Tea Bates.
He's not gonna be watching any football, so yes he is.
I'm totally joking. Also later, President Trump is still hard
at work to bring peace across the world. What should
his top priorities beat in twenty twenty six, We're going

(12:34):
to look ahead when American Sunrise three turns stick around.

Speaker 10 (12:53):
This news break gets brought to you by AMAC Association
of Mature American Citizens.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
All right, let me just say Times Square and New York.
Not a chance you'll never.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
See me there.

Speaker 11 (13:11):
I grew up literally on the Upper West Side of
New York, two miles from Times Square, a native New Yorker,
and I wouldn't be ever caught in the middle of
that madness ever.

Speaker 6 (13:22):
I've never been there.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
And I in terms of on New Year's Eve, and
I'll never do it ever.

Speaker 9 (13:28):
In my life.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
All Right, welcome back everybody to American Centrise. Sorry I
got a little animated there. Coming up.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Trump's foreign policy priorities of twenty twenty six, there are a.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Lot of them. We'll talk about it here in just
a moment.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
First, t Baate standing by with the latest headlines from
the Real America's Voice newsroom.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Boy, I'm well jacked up this morning. Sponsored by AMAC.

values that you hold dear and joined today together, we
can write the course of America.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
After a night of celebrating the new year, many Americans
waking up with the classic New Year's Day hangover. Doctors
remind people that alcohol, dehydration, and late night feasts can
really leave you feeling tired, bloated, and sluggish.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Very next morning.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Experts recommend simple remedies like drinking water, eating a balanced breakfast,
and getting some light exercise in order to kick.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Start the year.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Despite the liberal media's constant guilt trip, most Americans do
know how to celebrate responsibly while still enjoying life, and
for many, the New Year hangover is just a reminder
of fun, family and friend holiday traditions that prove America
still knows how to hire or how to ring in.
Excuse me the New Year the right way. Not everyone

(14:51):
overdid it last night, though, some people waking up on
this first day of twenty twenty six and putting.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Their resolutions into action.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Families, an individual alt or focusing on healthier lifestyle, stronger finances,
and more quality time with loved ones classic American.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Values that have stood the test of time.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Experts say the key to success is setting realistic goals,
making a plan, and staying accountable. This new Year, Americans
are ready to embrace discipline, determination, and the values that
keep our nation strong and prosperous. Finally, New Year's Day
means one thing for many Americans, and that would be football.
You just heard Steve talking about it. Football across the

(15:33):
country is the thing, as fans will be gathering in
living rooms, sports bars, and stadiums to watch classic college
and professional matchups.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
For many, it's not just about the game.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's all about family, friends, and spirit shining through sports.
New Year's Football is a reminder that Americans know how
to celebrate the holidays with passion, with tradition.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
And of course with pride. Good luck to your team
as they go out there and hit the GRIDIMS day.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Up next, President Trumpe and foreign policy. We're going to
talk a lot about it. What should be the top
priorities in twenty twenty six. We'll take a deep dive first, though,
a quick look at this day in history.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
It was on this date.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
In eighteen sixty three, the President Abraham Lincoln issued the
Emancipation Proclamation during the third.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Year of the US Civil War.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
The Proclamation fundamentally changed the moral tone of the war.
Its court declaration that all persons held as slaves within
rebellious states are and henceforth shall be free. The executive
order also announced the historic conclusion of black men into
the Union Army and Navy. It was a move that

(16:51):
saw almost two hundred thousand of them join the fight
by the war's end. The document was not without its limitations,
as slavery was not out law in border states or
Confederate states already under Union control at the time. Five
pages long, the original Emancipation Proclamation is kept today at
the National Archives in Washington, d C. More American Sunrise

Speaker 6 (18:16):
Now we're jamming. It's New Year's Day, twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Halla.

Speaker 6 (18:26):
Okay, that was weird. I shouldn't do that. Sorry.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
See this is where my kids start making fun of
me when I say Halla.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
They're like, that was like twelve and a half years ago.
Stop Houston, Texas, by the way, on the Year's Day.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
All right, welcome back everybody to American son Oris. We're
about one month away from marking four years since Russia
invaded Ukraine. President Trump has been hard at work trying
to broker a piece deal between the two nations, putin
and cooperating. By the way, that's just one of the
hotspots that Trump has to handle.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
As we enter a new year.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
For analysis, let's welcome in geopolitical analyst and former NAED
Mike Soirelli. Mike Trump, excuse me, Trump, Russia and Ukraine.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Boy, this has been vexing, to say the least.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
But my sense of it, after this twenty twenty year
of twenty twenty five and going into twenty twenty six, Putin.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Has no desire at all to settle this thing.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
And how are you going to go to the art
of the deal as it relates to what Trump's trying
to do when you have one side for sure that
doesn't want to make a deal, and I'm not sure
about Zelenski, but.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
Let's just talk about Putin to begin with. He don't
want to make a deal.

Speaker 7 (19:33):
No, don't underestimate Putin's ability to endure pay in pain
as well as the Russian people. Now, you've got to
say that President Trump has made more strides in this
year than the previous administration did during this conflict. But
let me look at the good here. We are seeing
indications that Europe is now the main engine in their
own defense they're stepping forward. We stopped our financial aid

(19:56):
to Ukraine in March of twenty twenty five in Europe,
knowing that they packs of the most is finally stepping up.
But ultimately, these territorial negotiations are going to be the
long pull in the tent. Ukraine won't budge, Russia won't budget,
and that is the question, David, how do we get
around the territorial issue in order to bring a cessation

(20:17):
to this war?

Speaker 1 (20:20):
All right, Mike, So let me be the devil's advocate here.
President Trump has done all he can. He's come up
and authored peace plans, cease fire plans, and both sides
seem resistant. They say the right thing publicly, but then
behind closed doors they act like little kids. So to
quote David, is it time for President Trump to say
howa and just step back and let them handle it

(20:41):
on their own.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
That's two references.

Speaker 7 (20:44):
I would love to see President Trump say that. I
don't think so. Ultimately, this is a war of attrition
and we've got to inflict more pain economically and defensively
against Russia. So this one hundred and twenty billion dollars
that Ukraine is estimating to continue the war Europe is
going to step up for at least sixty billion of
it or most of it. So if Russia understands that

(21:06):
Ukraine is being funded and not only armed by the
United States as well as Europe, that's going to be
tougher to take any more ground. So we want to
inflict as much pain economically and militarily until he finally
says uncle.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
So go ahead, doctor Jenna, do you want to take this?

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Well, just was going to ask the war between Israel
and Hamas is continuing as well, with the Jewish surrounded
by enemies. How do you see the current situation in
the Middle East in the short term?

Speaker 4 (21:42):
What do you think is going to happen this year? Mike?

Speaker 7 (21:45):
So, doctor Gina, I think we all knew Phase two
was going to be the most complicated part. I mean
Phase one essentially is what I call it is stop
shooting people, mostly, swap detainees and hostages, and then surge AID.
But this phase two of who runs Gaza and who
gets to carry a gun? We knew Hamas was not
going to disarm, so that's the toughest part. Ultimately, we
had intended for an international stabilization force, but no one's volunteering,

(22:11):
So you know, the US quitar Egypt and Turkey met
they are persuading or just convincing both sides to keep
the status quo. This is going to take longer to
identify that international stabilization force, the Peace Board, and then
the technocratic government that has been discussed, whether it's the
Palestinian authority, Hamas wants seats. There are still some negotiations

(22:35):
that have to happen. So I think we're going to
see an extended Phase one for a little bit before
we get into Phase two and someone's going to be
told to get troops in there to maintain peace.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Well, Mike, let me ask you about this international stabilization
force because that concerns me on so many different levels.
But let me just take one of those levels, and
how about Turkey specifically, I mean net and Yongho doesn't
want Turkey anywhere near uh the Mediterranean.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
I mean.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Erdawan is specifically we talked about a caliphate, you know,
so so for him to be there inside with potential
troops and an international stabilization force inside Gaza, that's a
dream come true to Ertawan.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
That is Netnya who's redline in the sand that will
not be allowed. He he's voiced that publicly that Turkey
will not be allowed to be part of that international
stabilization force, David for the exact points that you just mentioned.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, yeah, So let's talk a bit about China. That's
obviously the sleeping giant seems to be waiting and watching
as everything else across the globe kind of plays out,
also potentially ramping up aggression.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
What are your expect.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
What are your expectations excuse me from Chinese President GN
twenty twenty six, both in terms of physical aggression and
military aggression, as well as economic aggression, because that's also
a way China has been waging war.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Well, Terrence, you know, China is feeling the pain right now.
They've essentially, based off of what President Trump's been doing
with Venezuela, They've been forced out of the Western hemisphere
or at least mitigated down to the lowest level. So
you know, they're feeling backed into a corner. So I
would expect now you will hear what we call saber rattling.
They will have threats of taking Taiwan. They will never

(24:25):
do it because of just the amount of losses they
would take in that campaign, But economically, that's where they're
going to wage war. China has a long term view.
It's an Eastern philosophy where we are very short term
in thinking. So they're not thinking years, they're thinking decades
and taking us economically. So focus on sort of fifth

(24:46):
generation warfare, as I would say, not direct conflict, but
winning through the economy, winning through you know, attacking our society,
creating division within America. That's the approach to that. China
is going to take.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
What is your wildest, most unpredictable prediction for twenty twenty.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
Six, ah, you know, let me look at foreign policy.
So one I would say for President Trump, we've seen
some elections go to the to the left here, so
we've got to control the domestic economic narrative for the
Republican Party, especially with midterms coming up this year. But
you know, on a foreign policy front, and we've just

(25:24):
been talking about it, if there is a strategic north
star or principle, you know, Trump has got to follow this.
He has to choose what should make America, let's say,
harder to coerce, cheaper to defend, and more economically sovereign.
And he does that through guys on military rules of
three because I can only remember three things, and the
Ukraine War. Again, we're talking about China. They're the only

(25:45):
ones that benefits from a prolonged war. We don't need
to win, we just need closure to re establish deterrence
with China. They're the only near peer military and economic threat.
So it's vitally important we decoupled the supply chain from
seven he conductors, energy, and especially rare earth metals. Again,
the strategy there is to make or prevent conflict by

(26:09):
making it unwinnable for China. And then three we all
know this weaponize energy, not just sanctions. Energy dominance is
foreign policy leverage, and we know that Trump loves leverage.
So that means expanding energy exports to Europe in Asia
because ultimately, whoever controls energy flow controls geopolitics. You need

(26:30):
energy to build, you need energy to power technology, so
everything is energy energy energy In twenty twenty six, all.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
Right, Mike, we have about a minute left. Let me
get you into the prediction business yet again. It's January first,
twenty twenty seven. You are on this show yet again
for our New Year's Day special. Venezuela Nicholas Maduro Is
he president of Venezuela or is he gonzo?

Speaker 7 (26:56):
I think he will be Gonzo. He's feeling the pain.
He is the at center of the world right now,
and economically they can't sustain this. Their military is not
a threat to the United States, to our chakanaw that
we know our troops can inflict on any nation. But
you know, despotic narcissistic leaders will hold on to power

(27:17):
by all means. It's no different than Panama nor Jega.
But we will see either from the pain that we're
causing on Maduro, that the citizens of Venezuela will rise
up and remove them themselves, and ultimately regime change is
the goal. And I don't see Maduro lasting whole year
of a major embargo and the US military sitting office coast,

(27:41):
all right.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Michael Quick addendum, Will President Trump be the Nobel Peace
Prize winner twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Or next year?

Speaker 7 (27:49):
He's our president, He's our Nobel Peace Prize. I can't.
We can't account for the Europeans and all the other
countries that vote. So you know, I think he is
the de facto Nobel Peace Prize winner, whether they give
it to him or not, the world knows.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
Great point. You should, Mike Zuelli.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
You should be that was That was Switzerland. If I've
ever heard Switzerland, he is ow He's our's pinner.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
I love it, though I'm not mad at you, brother.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
Thanks Jared, I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (28:18):
Thanks, Thanks again, Mike, and appreciate your service to our country.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
Thank you, Happy guys.

Speaker 6 (28:24):
Okay, up next. Did you go a bit too hard
on the bruize last night and are you now fighting
the mother of all hangovers?

Speaker 9 (28:30):
Well?

Speaker 5 (28:30):
If so, don't stress relief, don't stress relief. I'm sorry,
So don't worry because stress relief is just two minutes away.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Apparently I've had too much booze as well. Back in
a moment.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Everything all right, welcome back to Megans Right, that's it, Fay,
New Mexico. Looking at you there, I'm doctor Gina looking

(29:04):
at you here Halla for David Brodie.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Thank you for joining us today.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Time now for today's health news, sponsored by the Wellness
Company and under the Microscope today Holiday hangover Cures. Let's
just get right down to it. For those of you
watching who maybe went a little wild last night, lots
of fun parties. I'm sure there are various roots you
can take to feel better. The first remedy is herbal
and natural drys. Some tea made with herbs like finil,

(29:30):
centauri leaf or peppermint can work well as well. Also,
if you're not a fan of thailand Olympain killers, a
shot of wheat grass supposedly that's good. You can also,
as weird as it sounds, take a bath.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Okay, this is okay.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
This is what the producers found when they research this.
You can take a bath in mustard or was Sabbi powder.
I won't be doing that, thank goodness for me. It's
just drink a glass of water between all alcohol beverages
and then stick to those that I know that my
body can handle anyway.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Next, as ancient.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Healers, methods to soothe the body of headaches and aches
and pains, tiger bomb, just rub a little on your
temples for instant relief. As for healers, the good old
fashioned foot massage apparently focus on the outer edge of
the foot, halfway between your toes, in the middle of
your foot, and if you have the energy, you can
try yoga. I don't know about having a hangover and

(30:27):
doing yoga, guys, but you know you never know, slowly
twist your arms and torso from side to side to
purge toxins. Here is some advice from the crew and
the control room. Energy drinks, copious cups of coffee, and
maybe even a slice of pizza or a nice greasy breakfast.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
That's from the guys in the control room. We're all
in their twenties. I'll just put that out there.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
It'll help soak up the alcohol you had, they say,
And good luck with that. I'm just gonna go back
to the drink a glass of water and stick to
things that you know, in small amount a night of
but you can't really go back and rewind.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
So there's that. Let me fly something important.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Also, as we move into winter, doctors have worn that
this year's flu.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Season is going to be a rough one.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Now even mainstream media is reporting that new, more virulence
severe flu strains are spreading faster in the US. The kicker,
though the already ineffective flu vaccine is even less effective
against this new strain. What the media won't tell you
is that doctor Peter mccola warned about this week's ago.
He's been clear that this strain is more severe and

(31:29):
unlikely to respond to the flu vaccine, which means.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
More personal preparation matters.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
That's why I trust The Wellness Company's two step approach.
Step one prevention through immune defense nasal and throat sprays
used daily to help support your body's first line of
defense right where virus is Innerstep two early treatment through
contagion emergency kit. Physician prescribed anti viral options including a nebulizer,

(31:55):
hydroxychloroquin and ivermectin. So treatment can start early if you
do have to get a bug, and if you're not
stuck in the long lines or shelling out big money
at urgent care during the holidays. This isn't fear, it's coming.
Since you guys so prepared. TWC dot health, slash rav

Brody is that a hangover kid at the Wellness Company?

Speaker 6 (32:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
I mean I'm asking for a friend.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
Oh you're asking for a friend. Okay, good to know,
and we'll just keep it between us. The cameras aren't rolling,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Good to know?

Speaker 7 (32:30):
Yeah, good to know.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
Okay, I heard that? Halla? Did I say? Halla?

Speaker 5 (32:34):
What did I just do? That was like my Jewish holabred? Sorry,
I heard halla earlier. Thank you, Gina, I appreciate that.
All right, it's a new year and with a fresh slate,
it's a time many think they can break old habits
and just concentrate on looking ahead and not dwelling on
the past.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
But it isn't so easy.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Comes down to resolutions and regrets and how do you
deal with both?

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Well, here with advice on.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
How to navigate your life in twenty twenty six is psychiatrist.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
Dot Carol Leiberman, a good friend of the show, Doctor Leeman.
Thanks for being here, Happy New Year to you.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
Look, we we always start with these New Year's resolutions
and then.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
Within a couple of days, boom, they've vanished.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
So how best to look at this upcoming year with
those pesky resolutions?

Speaker 6 (33:18):
Why do we do that?

Speaker 14 (33:19):
My goodness, Yes, that always happens, and then we start
the year off with feeling bad like we can't accomplish anything. Well,
let me just say.

Speaker 15 (33:30):
Six, there there's good news and bad news.

Speaker 14 (33:33):
The bad news is that it's gonna there are gonna
be a lot of challenges.

Speaker 15 (33:37):
It's the midterms.

Speaker 14 (33:38):
There's gonna be more divisiveness, there's gonna be more tds,
more UH and that, and also terrorism and anti Semitism
are increasing and unless we do some make changes, they're
going to keep increasing. So those are some of the
major challenges that we have coming up now. We also
need before we make resolutions, we have to look at ourselves.

(33:59):
We have to take stuff of ourselves. You know, what
we did right and what we did wrong, and unfortunately,
you know, to be honest. I mean, first of all,
we have to recognize that civilizations rise and fall, and
people in America are very complacent and we don't realize
how we have to work towards making our civilization our
country continue to rise.

Speaker 15 (34:22):
And so there's we've gotten sloppy.

Speaker 14 (34:25):
You know, we are sloppier in our speech, we're sloppier
in our dress, We're sloppier in our manners, and so
we have to we have to be.

Speaker 15 (34:32):
Honest about that. Then also.

Speaker 14 (34:36):
Complacency or let's say, we feel very entitled, and entitlement
is the opposite or the enemy of advancement.

Speaker 15 (34:46):
So these are some.

Speaker 14 (34:46):
Of the things that we need to ask ourselves before
we like think about the positive things that we're going
to do.

Speaker 15 (34:53):
So for the positive things, I'm.

Speaker 14 (34:56):
Going to take a riff off Melania remember her be
best campaign?

Speaker 15 (35:01):
Well on it?

Speaker 14 (35:03):
Well okay, well and here's go great. Here's also a
be better campaign, and that is that we need to
be better, not just with ourselves like lose weight and
the usual things, drink less and all of those usual things,
but be better or be best in terms of our country.
We have to include our country in our New Year's resolutions,

(35:26):
and we have to take responsibility. Each person can do
at least something. You know, a lot of people can
do more than one thing. But we can do things
that will help our country, like volunteering, like being kind
to our neighbor, like creating courses, you know, in our
community centers, like joining since there's going to be midterms, joining.

Speaker 15 (35:46):
The parties.

Speaker 14 (35:49):
Local committee, you know, to if you want your party
to win, and we certainly do. In terms of more
Republican people to save this country. I mean, we're very for,
of course to have President Trump and he's trying to
be best, be better, all of that to save our
society from falling apart. But we have to do our

(36:09):
part too, and that's where people are falling down. So
in other words, don't just think about yourself and losing weight,
think about what we can do for America.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Which is very therapeutic.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
By the way, statistics have proven, data has proven, science
has proven that a lot of times when you're feeling
depressed or down.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
One of the best things you can do for yourself.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Is go volunteer, you know, and that can be at
an animal shelter, at a nursing home, at a children's hospital, whatever,
Go care for somebody else instead of all this self
care we hear about all the time, which is actually
pretty destructive on at least it culminates in that if
you get too wrapped up in it.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
But doctor, I want to ask you, because you are.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
A psychiatrist, and with the advent of RFK into our
body psychology, if you will, psychiatrists prescribe meta and at
least you have that ability to do that.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
You're really the.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Only mental health professional that has the license to do that. So,
with all the changes in all of the discoveries and
all the getting back to our roots of pre Rockefeller
medicine science, how have you seen your profession change and
what do you predict in the coming years in terms

(37:25):
of going back to things like what we're talking about
right now, like taking practical measures to advance your mental health,
relying on natural methods to improve your mental health rather
than all of the oil based, right Rockefeller kind of
stuff that we bought into for the last several generations
of a psychological medicine.

Speaker 14 (37:44):
Well, yes, psychotropic drugs is what you're talking about. Yes,
that is one of the things that I am hoping
I try anyway to make known to people and try
to change in our mental health system. Our mental health
system is really in bad shape because what has happened
is that psychiatrists have become pill pushers instead of doing therapy.

(38:08):
The only no pill, no medication, anxiety, depression, whatever you have.
You know, whatever psychological problem you have, no medication.

Speaker 15 (38:16):
Is going to cure it.

Speaker 14 (38:17):
What you need is to psychotherapy is to get to
the root of it. Now, medications can help with some symptoms.
Some people do need medications, certainly with psychotic disorders like
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and so on. But that is
not what that is not what people are getting these days.
They're going to a psychiatrist and they're getting prescriptions. They're

(38:39):
getting one prescription after the other. And yes, we have
to go back to the things that volunteering being kind
being introspective, you know, looking into ourselves and getting to
the root of it, not thinking that we can.

Speaker 15 (38:54):
The quick solution is taking a pill or five.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
Of them, Doctor Carol Leeberman, Great to have you here
and happy to me to you.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
Thanks for the advice.

Speaker 15 (39:03):
Happy, thank you, Happy to year to you too.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
All right, coming up. Liberals are outraged by President Trump
adding his name to the Kennedy Center a form of sacrilege.
They say, we're back in the morning, all right, Welcome back,

(39:33):
everybody to the New Year's Day special edition of American Sunrise.

Speaker 6 (39:36):
I'm David Brody.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
You know, I bet there are a lot of folks
watching right now who could use a good cup of coffee.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
And we have your answer. Seventeen seventy five coffee.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
It's not just a brand, it's a stand. They've created
something called Rejuvenate Roast. It's a bold, dark roast infused
with CAAKG.

Speaker 6 (39:55):
I know it sounds fancy, but here's the deal.

Speaker 5 (39:57):
It's a clinically studied compound shown to support healthy aging,
fight inflammation, boost energy, and even reduce your biological age
up to eight years.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
I mean, who doesn't want any of that? We want
it all and it's not some gimmick.

Speaker 5 (40:12):
It's real science being used in coffee that actually tastes incredible.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
I drink it every morning. It's phenomenal.

Speaker 5 (40:18):
And if clean energy and mental clarity are your thing,
They've also got a mushroom coffee packed with five functional
mushrooms as opposed to non functioning mushrooms, by the way,
that supports your brain, body and focus. No jitters, no crash,
just fuel that actually works and doesn't come from some
corporate agenda factory.

Speaker 6 (40:39):
Everything they make.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
It's single origin, it's mold and tox and free. It's
roasted fresh weekly in Miami and made by people who
actually believe in free speech, truth and this country. What
a great blend, so to speak. So yeah, look, I
back it because it backs everything that we talk about
right here on American Sunrise. So go to seventeen seventy
five coffee dot com slash rav you use the code

(41:03):
RAF for ten percent off, and then you start your
day with coffee that stands for truth, health, and freedom.

Speaker 6 (41:10):
Nothing better than that.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Right t bates over to you, sir, Absolutely, David, I'm
all on board. Well, now that we're caffeinated, it's time
for you to stay awake, not woke. And who's woke today,
you ask, well, it would be liberals who are still
clutching their pearls over the President's proposed bohemouth ballroom. Left
wing preservation activists are trying to stop President Trump from

(41:33):
building the massive ninety thousand square foot world class ballroom
at the White House. It's a project, the President says,
will be paid for with private money, not a single
taxpayer dime. The National Trust for Historic Preservation claims that
Trump moved too fast and skip bread tape, didn't even
ask enough bureaucrats for permission before planning the upgrade. Translation here,

(41:56):
they don't like that a president who actually gets things
done is back in charge. Meantime, a federal judge refused
to block construction four for now, but the legal gains
the legal games, Excuse me continue with another hearing except
for January. President Trump says the ballroom will restore American grandeur,
hosts state events with the way that they should be hosted,

(42:19):
and send the message loud and clear that America is
done shrinking, apologizing, and settling to be second best. We
of course love all of this and look forward to
seeing the done product. We also want to know what
you think about all of this. Let us know on YouTube.
Getta rumble hop on right now, let your voice be heard.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
And let us know your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Before we go to break though, we want to mention
our new RAV Ambassadors program. Here's a little preview for you.

Speaker 12 (43:53):
In the beginning, God created the heaven.

Speaker 8 (43:55):
And the earth.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
All right, welcome back to this first American sun Rise
of twenty twenty six. Oh Colby decided to hop up
here and say hello, I'm doctor Gina, and it is
time now for our moment of faith brought to us
by Lee Greenwood and the God blessed the USA Bible
and in focus today the importance of faith in our
current administration. President Trump has made faith a cornerstone of

(44:23):
his administration, going so far as to set up a
White House Faith Office to ensure that our moral compass
as a nation is set in the right direction. Joining
us now a member of the White House Faith Council,
Pastor Jackson Lameyer, Pastor, welcome back to American Sunrise, and
happy twenty twenty.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Sixth to you.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
It is a really different time you go to the
White House. You feel it even from the first Trump
administration where you know he was being president, he was
doing the things. But once we saw what Joe Biden
did to our White House, the rainbow malarkey that he
had to institute there to breaking all the traditions, et cetera, etc.

(45:07):
Now when you go to the White House, you do
not miss the faith element.

Speaker 16 (45:13):
What has changed, Well, I think it's an incredible thing.
And happy New Year. Hard to believe that it's twenty
twenty six, but so much has changed in a year.
To your point. If you remember Easter twenty twenty four
hundred Joe Biden, it was transgender visibility Day, right, And
then all of a sudden President Trump has come in

(45:34):
and totally done away with the woke nonsense and is
bringing us back to our roots as a Christian nation.
And the President understands, if we're going to make America
great again, we have to do what made America great
in the first place. Yeah, we were rooted and we
were built upon faith and freedom and family, and so yes,
when you go to the White House, the atmosphere is

(45:55):
incredible because the President has requested pastors to constant be there,
to pray, to worship, and to saturate the place in
the presence of God. And you can feel it every
time you go.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Yeah, don't need no sage, by the way, but you
need people there praying and bringing that feeling of Christ's consciousness.
I don't know, I just made that up. It sounds
a little woozy. I didn't mean it that way. But
you know, you need people there who are faithful, all
fallen right, all by the way, all flawed, all saved

(46:33):
by the same grace. Right, That's what it's really about.
But talk to us for a moment about those who
say the detractors, right, those who say that this is
anti you name it, anti woman, anti homosexual, anti trans
this is about degrading people and pushing people away.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
Talk to us, speak back to that.

Speaker 16 (47:01):
Yeah, well, to your point, it's the emphasis is anti this,
anti that, and it's actually just pro God, pro America,
pro family, pro Bible. And so I think the narrative
we have to push back on that a little bit
because you know, President Trump has been very clear that
America was founded as a Christian nation. In fact, one

(47:22):
of the highlights of the two hundred and fiftieth celebration
is going to be the founding of this country based
upon Christian principles in the Bible. And so we have
to change the narrative that. Listen, if we're going to
make America great again, we have to make America godly again.
And that's why the President has called on this is amazing.
The President of the United States is instructing citizens in

(47:45):
this country go to church, read your Bible. To me,
as a pastor, that is incredible that we have a
commander in chief that is encouraging the people of this
country to pray, go to church, and read their Bible.
What that will do is create a cultural shift. Some
things you cannot do with policy. You cannot change the

(48:07):
hearts of man with policy. However, the gospel can. And
so we're seeing great things in our country right now.
And a lot of credit goes to President Trump and
this administration.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Amen to that.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Pastor, tell us real quick where people can find your church.

Speaker 16 (48:21):
Yes, Sheridan Dot Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, and doctor Gina,
Happy New Year. It's always good to be on with you.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Thank you so much, Pastor Jackson Lemeyer. All right, we'll

Day edition of American Sunrise.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Two minutes.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Stick around, We're coming right back at you.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Happy New Year to you and yours. We are welcoming
you and twenty twenty six into our lives this morning.
This as we look ahead to what lies ahead in
this coming year, we're also looking forward, as Americans are
facing a healthcare crisis as sky high insurance premiums could
more than double this year.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
We'll have details on that.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Plus, some of the swamp monsters that dwell in DC
and around our country have survived twenty twenty five. So
where will they leave slime in their tracks in twenty
twenty six? Find out as this special New Year's Day
American Sunrise continues right now.

Speaker 6 (49:30):
Good morning, America.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Welcome to American Sunrise.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Wellether It's culture.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
We have breaking news to share with you.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Politics.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
We've got your couple. This is what it looks like
to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
The American dream is still alive.

Speaker 16 (49:54):
I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and I'm Doctorina.

Speaker 5 (50:02):
Welcome back, everybody to the second hour of the special
New Year's Day edition of American Sunrise. I'm David Brody,
coming here from DC. Happy New Year, everybody. Let's bring
in doctor g and Wes Palm, T Baates and our
Denver newsroom.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Happy New Year.

Speaker 4 (50:19):
Wow. Wow David, you guys, Yeah, it's big hair.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
It is a It is a big year. I'm expecting
big things from both of you. I'm already mailing it
in for the rest of the year, but I'm expecting
great things from both of you. Guys.

Speaker 6 (50:36):
I thank you a lot of pressure.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (50:39):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Oh my goodness. Hey, look, so let's just get to
a couple of quick headlines so that we can really
have a good conversation. After a night of celebrating the
new year, many Americans are now waking up with the
classic New Year's Day hangover. Doctors remind people that alcohol, dehydration,
and late night feasts can really lead if you feeling tired, bloated,

(51:01):
sluggish the next morning. Will Experts recommend simple remedies like
drinking water, eating a balanced breakfast, and getting some light exercise.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
To kick start off the year.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Despite the liberal media's constant guilt trip, most Americans Zoe
do know how to celebrate responsibly while still enjoying life,
and for many, the New Year hangovers simply a reminder
of fun, family and friendly holiday traditions, proving that America
still does know how to ring in the new year
the right way. Not everyone overdid it last night, though

(51:34):
some people waking up this morning on this first day
of twenty twenty six and putting their New Year's resolutions
into action. Families and individuals alike are focusing on healthier lifestyles,
stronger finances, more quality time with loved ones. Those are
all classic American values that have stood the test of time.
Experts say the key to succeed is to set a

(51:56):
realistic goal, also make a plan, and stay accountable. This
new year, Americans are ready to embrace discipline, determination, and
the values to keep our nation strong and prosperous. Finally,
New Year's Day means one thing for so many Americans,
and that would be football. Across the country, fans are

(52:17):
going to be gathering in living rooms, sports bars, and
stadiums to watch classic college and professional matchups. For many,
it's not just about the game, it's all about sharing
and experience. New Year's Football is a reminder that Americans
know how to celebrate the holidays with passion, with tradition,
and of course, with pride. Happy New Year to each

(52:39):
and every one of you. Hopefully twenty twenty six is
already off to a marvelous start for you. It's definitely
off to a marvelous start for me, because I get
to start it with David and doctor Gina.

Speaker 5 (52:48):
David, good morning, Good morning debates, right back at you.
So to help us ring in the new year, we
want to welcome in one of our rab family member
is an official party animal. That's my understanding. At least
that's all the record. I think I just put it
on the record. Brian Glenn, Our Chief White House Correspondent, Brian.

Speaker 6 (53:05):
Happy New Year.

Speaker 5 (53:06):
You got any New Year's resolutions that you plan to
break in a week and a half.

Speaker 6 (53:11):
I might have.

Speaker 17 (53:11):
I might be breaking it in the next five minutes. Actually,
a happy New Year to everyone. And I did wake
up with no hangover, didn't do any of that last night, but.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
I do have.

Speaker 17 (53:22):
You know, I've got a couple New Year's resolutions. I
had a show idea years ago entitled The Year I
Quit My Life.

Speaker 6 (53:29):
I know it sounds kind of morbid, but let me explain.

Speaker 17 (53:32):
I want our viewers to know that if there's something
in their life right now that they want to quit.
It could be an addiction, it could be a bad habit,
it could be I want to avoid talking about, you know,
talking to certain people in my family or friends about
certain subjects. So I just encourage everyone. Any toxic thing
that's going on in your life that is this year,

(53:53):
right now is the time to quit your life that's
the previous life you had. It could be find a
new spouse, it could be you know, in that toxic
relationship that you have. It could be find a new job,
it could be exercised more personally. When I'm probably going
to break in the next five minutes is probably dipping

(54:14):
into the comment section on social media. Guys, I need
to get out of the comment section. It's nothing but
a Daennas snakes and I think that it brings everybody down.
And get this, it is not reflective of the real world.
So all the comments you read on x, Instagram, Facebook,
whatever platform.

Speaker 6 (54:31):
All these negative don't read them.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
A lot of them aren't even humans.

Speaker 17 (54:35):
I just suggest you get out of it.

Speaker 10 (54:37):
Don't read them.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
It brings you down.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Yeah, And you know, also you can make it on
most social media. You can make it so only your
friends can actually comment. And if you do that, everyone
else is blocked from it. Then you never have to
see all the malarkey that goes on. Brian and I
think that's great advice, by the way, about blocking out toxicity.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
Whether it's in laws. I mean, I'll tell you what
I've been doing.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
I've been trying to do this every single year, like,
think about what in my life is not helping me
be the best person I can be and whatever that is.
Getting rid of it is more important than putting something
in your life a resolution that you're not going to keep.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
I think that is actually brilliant, Brian.

Speaker 6 (55:19):
Thank you, Brian.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
I want to get your reaction to this Reuters headline too.
Americans facing soaring health insurance costs me get a lifeline.
In twenty six, experts say, what is the White House
doing on this healthcare front?

Speaker 4 (55:34):
Brian? In twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
Six, we listen, we talk about gas prices, we talk
about energy prices, we talk about families feeling the economy
that everybody wants to tell us this is going so swimmingly,
But most people I talk to say it is Obamacare.
It is what has happened to our healthcare that is
weighing them down. The most people are afraid to even

(55:58):
go to the hospital.

Speaker 4 (55:58):
They know about the infection rates that aren't published.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
People are afraid to go to doctors because they feel
like doctor's line to us during COVID Brian, Yeah.

Speaker 17 (56:08):
This is a big deal, and I don't like the
way Mike Speaker of Mike Johnson ended this previous session
of the year, didn't even bring anything to the floor
for a vote whether or not would pass or not
on those ACAU subsidies extensions. So but unfortunately, many Americans
are going to wake up today, get the mail in
a week or so and a couple of days. But
I already got to notice in the mail already that.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Your your premiums are going to go up.

Speaker 17 (56:31):
But I think the positive thing that I think all
of this has done, though, if there is a gleaming
bit of light.

Speaker 6 (56:37):
Here, it has made people.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Look at what they need as a policy.

Speaker 17 (56:41):
Personally, I have an HSA, a Health Saves account for
me personally that works. Like you know, I'm relatively in
good health. I don't outside of getting hit by a
beer truck and having.

Speaker 6 (56:51):
To go, you know, go into the hospital.

Speaker 17 (56:53):
For anything severe, which has coverage for that as well.
So I just encourage everyone.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
To take a deep look at your life style.

Speaker 17 (57:00):
When's the last time you went to the doctor, what
is your medical history, and what do you actually need?
Because I found the last month or so people going,
you know what, I don't really think I need this policy.
I think I'm better off having this policy. But whatever
the case may be, this administration, Republicans need to develop
an off rem of Obamacare and into a different system.

(57:24):
I kind of love the open market. Can you imagine
if you could shop for health insurance kind of like
you if you in a shop for a plumber and
there's more people competing for your business. I think the
rates come down, I think the benefits get better. And
here's a fact for you, real quick, a real kind
of an odd fact. Accounts receivables for hospitals are much

(57:44):
higher with people who have health insurance than people who don't.

Speaker 6 (57:49):
So people who go in.

Speaker 17 (57:50):
There and do cash pay and pay it right there
on the spot and zero out their account. Those guys
hospitals that almost rather you have no cash pay than
insurance because they are carrying millions and millions of dollars
of unpaid benefits that take months to come in, so
their counsel receivables are much higher on people who actually

(58:12):
have health insurance.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
Yeah, and one more note before we I want to
turn it to Terrence, but this is such a great
example Brian, of just because something needs to be done
doesn't mean government's the one to do it.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
People are like, ohh we all need health care.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
Well, yes, of course we need health care. Doesn't mean
government's the one to do it. We all need education,
of course we need education. Doesn't mean we all need charity.
Government is not the one to do it. Government has
a very specific role, and when you give it power,
it absolutely corrupts. Sorry, go ahead, Terrence, Gina, so posib
your day first one of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 15 (58:44):
By the way, you're good.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
By the way, had you had me at plumber? I
just had a plumber out the other day because we
had a link under the sink, and he charged me
two hundred and fifty bucks to quite literally tighten a bolt.
I'm still mad about that.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Now I know what I'm going to get you for
your birthday, Terrence A.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
Rich All Rich had I known, trust me, doctor Gina,
had I known I going to save myself two hundred
and fifty dollars just for a boat? Oh yeah, yeah. Anyway, Brian,
let's look at twenty twenty six. What is your expectation
in terms of priorities for the administration. Obviously, we've talked
about healthcare affordability is one of those key words that
we often hear about. President Trump has said that there

(59:26):
may be some refund checks from the IRS or just
refund checks in general, potentially as high as twenty thousand dollars. Obviously,
there's a lot on the table. Where do you see
the priorities being I.

Speaker 17 (59:39):
Think it's still a focus on the economy. And the
Trump administration told me just weeks ago that as they
get into this new year, they are going to focus
on doing these little little town hall like events, a
little small economic rallies like he's been doing like in
North Carolina and out in Pennsylvania. So he's going to
focus on the economy. But then it's going to shift
to more of the twenty six midterms, and that's going

(01:00:01):
to go into campaign mode.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
And we've got.

Speaker 17 (01:00:04):
Certain obviously your swing states, you will be focusing on that.
But it's going to go into campaign mode, and unfortunately
for politicians in the House, in the Senate, in Congress,
that's when they get a little bit more less you know,
aggressive on their messaging as far as what they want
to They go back into campaign mode.

Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
That's safe mode.

Speaker 17 (01:00:25):
So Unfortunately, from what we can see, that's not when
you typically get a lot of things done because their
their mind, their messaging has shifted a little bit. But
President Trump is going to focus on the economy, and
by talking to people over at Amfest just a few
weeks ago, some of those some of the economic policies
will be We're going to have a stronger Q one

(01:00:47):
than expected, so maybe it won't be as much on
the economy. In other words, Democrats are gonna have to
find other ways to fight us. It won't be just
high inflation because that's come way down. It won't be
even affordability because those things are going to start to
take place. So Democrats have got to find another messaging
to attack Republicans. That's when it is probably going to

(01:01:07):
get a little bit more aggressive on that. But as
long as President Trump and the administration and the messaging
continues to be domestically make our lives better, you can't
lose the midterms. But we need people in the House
and the Senate to make sure these bills that Speaker
Johnson has goes before for a vote, and let's codify
these executive orders that President Trump is laid out.

Speaker 6 (01:01:29):
Yeah, quick, follow up on that thirty seconds or less.
What do you think in terms of the Republicans keeping
the house? If you're what's your best guess? Is it
fifty to fifty? Is it a crapshoot? Who knows?

Speaker 9 (01:01:39):
You know?

Speaker 17 (01:01:40):
I saw a stat the other day that had it
about a sixty percent lean to the Democrats have taken
it forty percent of Republicans. I think let's get through
the let's get let's get the economic data from the
shopping and the New Year's and all that stuff. Let's
see the consumer confidence. Because if the consumer confidence is
high and we see kind of a little bit more
of spending and people Americans feel like they have more money,

(01:02:02):
I think we win. I think Republicans can take control.

Speaker 6 (01:02:06):
Ryann, great to have you appreciate it. The only thing
I mean, this was such a great conversation. But of course,
all I'm taking from this is the fact that I
don't want to get hit by a beer truck.

Speaker 5 (01:02:15):
Uh, And that Gina said the word malarkey.

Speaker 6 (01:02:20):
You did, mak you channeled your inner Biden.

Speaker 7 (01:02:22):
You did.

Speaker 17 (01:02:23):
But as long as that beer truck is not a
Miller Lite Biller truck, I'm okay. So if it's a
Modello or you know, maybe a Sam Adams beer truck.

Speaker 9 (01:02:33):
Like we gotta go, see.

Speaker 6 (01:02:34):
You gotta go. We're back in a moment.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Welcome back to this special New Year's Day edition of
American Sunrise. Happy two you Happy twenty twenty six. I'm
Terrence Bates. As always, it's great to have you along
for the ride. It is now time to drain the
swamp thrown today we are flushing out the swamp post
in twenty twenty five. Get ready that sound you just heard,
You're gonna hear a whole lot of it today. All right,

(01:03:17):
let's get it going, folks. First up, failed Democrat presidential
candidate Kamala Harris. She was the only politician who can
turn a simple question into a forty car pile up
of word salad.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Her one hundred and.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
Seven Days book tour, which was a coast to coast
blame game where everyone caused her failed campaign except for
Kamala Harris, is one of the things we want to
talk about. Yes, there was also cackling. There always the
Cathlin Lewis and the next there's Tim Walls, Kamala's failed
vice presidential running mate who turned Minnesota into a swamp

(01:03:51):
peachrie dish. The billion dollar feeding our future. Fraud, of course,
is something that we talked a lot about. At the
end of twenty twenty five, was the biggest COVID foods
game in America. Money for kids, gone, fake meals, kickbacks,
cash overseas, so molly fraudrings, cashing in and walls. Of course, yeah,

(01:04:11):
that was a reality, and they were all more worried
about woke optics than stopping a billion dollar heights. Don't worry, though,
his wife says, it's time to turn the page.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
We're flushing her too. On to the next disaster.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Now, gold bar Bob Mendez, the former New Jersey senator
who turned his house into a treasure hunt. FBI found
cash in boots, golden ziploc bags, and corruption in every
single corner. Now a convicted felon and the poster child
of DC decay that of course was Bob Menendez. And last,

(01:04:47):
but definitely not least, well, you can add a lot
of Obama to the west, the swamp preacher who never
left the building, the former president still lurking behind the curtains,
pulling strings, and now facing a grand jewelry probe in
to the twenty sixteen election targeting President Trump, the shadow
operator of the Biden years, the architect of the Trump

(01:05:07):
witch hunts, the original swamp strategist who never stopped playing
the game looking for the final boss of the swamp.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Well, you just found him.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
So we say, well, folks, it is a new year,
and the names may change, but the swamp monsters, well
they just keep crawling out. The good news is they're
getting a lot easier to spot these days. Let's bring
in doctor Gena and David to discuss a little bit more.
All right, lady and gentleman, Happy twenty twenty six So
let's kind of flesh out this list of swamp monsters. David,

(01:05:40):
your thoughts? Who should be on it? Who did I miss? Well?

Speaker 5 (01:05:44):
I mean there's so many, being that I live in
d C. You know there's a long list for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:05:49):
But how at Nancy Pelosi.

Speaker 5 (01:05:52):
I know she's leaving DC, but we should give her
a farewell swamp party.

Speaker 6 (01:05:56):
I mean, don't you think a flush?

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
One little flush on nance?

Speaker 5 (01:06:00):
Yeah, one last us if we could, and maybe a
double flush would be nice.

Speaker 6 (01:06:05):
Ron And there'll be a second one coming soon. I
just I can hear it now and there it is because.

Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
Very nicely telling you, guys, Gina, I think Nancy Pelosi
and her whole stock portfolio need to leave the swamp.

Speaker 6 (01:06:21):
Though.

Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
I will say she has made a lot of folks
richer because they follow her inside her trading moves.

Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
That is true. That is true.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
A lot of friends, you made a lot of money
was all they did was follow her stock buys.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Amazing, very smart, sure, very simple.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
I'm just going to go on out there on on
a on a bit of a ledge here, and I'm
going to add Mitch McConnell to it. Good riddance, Time
for him to go. He definitely hasn't been a friend
to President Trump. I think he's been pretty swampy in
the past couple of years. I'm going to go on
and add him to the list as well.

Speaker 5 (01:07:00):
You can add him, feel free, Chuck Schumer, Here you go,
Here you go.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
There's a lot of people we could add to it.
All right, guys, we'll take a great break and we'll
continue to think of who else should be on our
swamp monster list. But coming up, we've got advice on
how to learn from the biggest stock market surprise stories
of twenty twenty five. To help your chances of having
a profitable twenty twenty six, just follow Nancy Pelosi.

Welcome back everybody to special New Year's Day edition of
American Sunrise.

Speaker 6 (01:08:51):
I'm David Brody.

Speaker 5 (01:08:52):
Time now for our daily dose of dollars in common sense.
And on this New Year's Day, we are thrilled to
introduce Ed Butowski, the magic partner of chap would Investments
with us and Happy New Year. So look, as we
begin this new year, a lot of people starting to.

Speaker 6 (01:09:08):
Think about their investments for the year.

Speaker 5 (01:09:10):
I got to tell you, I thought I did pretty
well last year, and you know.

Speaker 6 (01:09:14):
With my four to one K, I invested a lot
in makeup, clearly. So what's your take about next year?

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
What do you think?

Speaker 9 (01:09:20):
Well, Happy New Year to all of you. So I
don't believe because the calendar has changed, that economic conditions
have changed. And that's one of the big fallacies and
big faults that people make is that they think they
have to make a change because the calendar has changed,
but economic conditions have not changed. We have a slower
US economy even though we grew at four point three

(01:09:43):
percent recently, and we have most likely lower interest rates coming,
which is going to stimulate growth in a lot of
our small companies. So I think that the one change
you might make is transferring from big companies to small
companies because smaller companies proportionally get helped a lot more

(01:10:04):
by lower interest rates, So the cost of capital being
lower proportionally helps small value and small growth companies more.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Hey, Ed, I'm interesting to get your take on this
part of the economic story, if you will. The numbers
seem to be high. Obviously, the Trump administration touts this
major resurgence and really victories when it comes to the economy,
but many Americans don't necessarily feel it. The reality doesn't
necessarily represent the perception out there. From a professional perspective,

(01:10:37):
what are you hearing? What are you hearing from your clients,
even as it relates to how their portfolios are looking
versus the reality of the markets.

Speaker 9 (01:10:46):
Well, my client's portfolios all have some sort of income.
They either have income plus growth or growth plus income,
but there's always some form of income coming into their portfolio.
So lower interest rates are going to help them. But
at the same time, one of the things that people
need to focus on is that interest rates are going

(01:11:08):
to be a main driver of everything that's going to
happen in twenty twenty six, and as long as you
have interest rates sensitive investments, you're going to do very well.
So everybody needs to have some form of income producing
investments in their portfolios.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
Doctor Gena, can I just follow up real quick, because
when you talk about interest rates, obviously that brings to
mind a conversation about the FED, which we're expecting will
have some huge changes. Obviously, it starts with leadership. There's
going to be a new FED chair, and then there's
going to be pressure on the FED. One would imagine
from President Trump to in fact drop interest rates, even

(01:11:46):
if it's not necessarily what appears to FED regulators as
the ideal policy move. How do you jive all of that?

Speaker 9 (01:11:56):
Well, I think that whoever he picks, he will have
already predetermined and if they're going to be bearish or
dubbish or excuse me, hawkish or dubvish on interest rates.
And I believe that he's going to select somebody who's
going to be like minded with him. Every president wants
lower interest rates. There's never been a president that doesn't
want lower interest rates. So I believe that he's going

(01:12:19):
to pick somebody maybe haslet to be on the next
FED chair. But Powell is definitely going to be out.
You know, there's no question about that. I would put
all the money in the world that Powell is going
to be out.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
I'm torn between I'll raise you on that one turn.

Speaker 4 (01:12:34):
Between two questions here, Ed.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
The first one I'm going to ask you is what
exactly do these handouts that are coming to some Americans
and lower middle income brackets somewhere between eleven and twenty
thousand dollars. Some are saying, what does that really do
to an economy when you.

Speaker 9 (01:12:50):
Do that, Well, it stimulates buying, and you know, everybody
wants consumers out there buying things because there's a multiplier effect.
But there is also a drain on our budget, and
our budget deficit is something that's going to bite us
at some point in time. You know, there's so many

(01:13:10):
different ways that politicians dance around that. But having more
money in everyone's pocket is a positive thing as long
as they save it or invest it. But you know,
if they go out and spend it, you know, then
there's more tax dollars that go into the US government.
So that's a positive. So overall it's a positive, but

(01:13:31):
there's a drain on our budget deficit.

Speaker 4 (01:13:34):
Yeah, I wondered about that also. Real quick. I just
want to ask you, Ed.

Speaker 3 (01:13:38):
President Trump taking a lot of criticism for some of
the businesses he's been building up on the side that
his family is benefiting from the Left is losing their
minds over this. It promises to be a key issue
in the midterm elections. ED what do you do about
the fact that you know, you want to create generational
wealth for your kids and all of a sudden you're

(01:13:58):
president and you feel like you've been to hell and
back by your enemies and you have the opportunity to
invest around the world.

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
What do you make of this?

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
Do they have a legitimate point this insider stuff that
they're asserting.

Speaker 9 (01:14:15):
Well, you can't have it both ways. You can't have
Nancy Pelosi and the rest of Congress being able to
use insider information to trade. And if you were president,
you've been through what he's been through, you know what
the hell I mean, just let him do it. If
it's legal, you know what, it might not look good.
And you know, you also have to look at DJT

(01:14:35):
Trump media and try to understand what exactly it is
that they're building. Because they have a financial services business,
they have a bitcoin or cryptocurrency business. Now they have
this fusion company and it's kind of a hodgepodge of
different businesses. So I'm not really sure the direction of
where that business is going. I do know they need

(01:14:56):
a lot of cash. But the president's being very, very
care careful and kind of keeping himself separate from that.
And you know what, you know, if he's in that position,
he can do it. More power to him. We elected him,
so let him do it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
Speaking about President Trump, what about tariffs. Obviously he's a
big fan of tariffs. He did that in his first year.
He doesn't plan to let up. Doesn't sound like in
a second year.

Speaker 6 (01:15:23):
Here, what do you think? Where are you on tariffs exactly?

Speaker 5 (01:15:26):
And from an economic standpoint and what has happened since
he started implementing them.

Speaker 9 (01:15:31):
Yeah, I'm kind of in the minority here. I don't
think tariffs are a big deal to the economy because
if you're buying a washing machine from Mexico and you're
Samsung and you're importing it, Samsung is actually writing that check,
not the government of Mexico, and a lot and we
only import about twenty two percent of what we use

(01:15:53):
in this country. And it's broadly diverse, so it's not
just you know, games and widgets and food, you know,
it's broadly, broadly diversified between many different sectors, so I
don't believe it's going to be a big burden on
the economy at all.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
All right, all right, I think that's going to do
it for us.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
It's been what a show up.

Speaker 6 (01:16:16):
It's over.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
Yeah, it's over.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
I'm sorry. I was just talking to my mother in
law and text real quick, so I apologize, Thanks Sed,
Thank taking care?

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
Right, still to come on, still to come on this
special New Year's Day edition of American Sunrise. The celebrations
are over and the countdown to the twenty twenty six
mid terms are on. Why the magabase is mobilizing like
never before. We're taking the political polls of America.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
That's right after the break.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
Happy New Year, everybody, Happy twenty twenty six. Welcome back
to American Sunrise. I'm vec to g if you are
just tuning in, we are so happy to have you
with us, and we invite you to hop in our
conversation over on YouTube, Getter and rumble. It is time
now to take the political pulse of America the beat Today,
America's mid term test celebrations have ended, and now the

(01:17:28):
count down to twenty twenty six officially underway, the midterms ahead,
Carrie real Way, controls of Congress, the balance of power,
the future of America's agenda all in play. Voters looking
for results, the stronger economies, secure communities, leaders who actually
put the country first. And across the nation, the America

(01:17:49):
First movement is mobilizing, determined, organized, and ready to make
these midterms matter. This year isn't just about elections. It's
about direction. The countdown begins and the momentum starts right now,
you know, David and Terrence. I think I'm bringing you
guys in there you are. It's going to be an

(01:18:09):
interesting year. A lot of celebrating. We've got, of course,
the seventeen seventy six two hundred and fifty anniversary. I'm
embarrassed to tell you that I actually remember the two
hundredth anniversary. What I me too, But I was in
the bi centennial play in my town with a little
bonnet being like a I don't know, but I don't

(01:18:30):
think I'll be doing that this time. But yeah, there's
going to be a lot of celebrating, a lot about
America and a midterm election that promises to really sort
of set the course for the next fifty years.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Terrence, Yeah, I'm very curious about this midterm election. One
of the things that I've been talking a lot about
in private circles are the number of Members of Congress,
members of the US House who are leaving to run
for local office, who may not be running for re election,
and I'm curious how that ultimately is going to impact

(01:19:07):
the balance of power in the US House and the
midterm elections. I think it might be. And this is
just again, I get we're almost, you know, nine months,
ten months away from this happening, but I think it
might be a little bit tighter than many of US
Republicans expected. I hope not. I hope some good candidates
will come forward to fill the void of those candidates

(01:19:29):
who may be leaving or running for local office, but
I mean a more state wide.

Speaker 6 (01:19:40):
I wish they had they running for governor.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
In many cases, most members of Congress who are going
to be running for state wide office or running for governor.
And so I hope some, uh, some very strong candidates
will come and fill in fill in those spots and
hopefully be good candidates and win so that we keep
the balance of power in the House.

Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
But I think it might be a little tight, David.

Speaker 6 (01:20:01):
I think the resignations is a bit overblown. And here's why.
I look inside the numbers. Yeah, here's why, because as
I look inside the numbers, most of these seats are
pretty safe districts. Now, I'm not suggesting that it's.

Speaker 5 (01:20:14):
Going to be just as MAGA as a you know,
Andy Biggs for example, or you know the candidate might
not be as Maga, and that's a problem obviously, But
in terms of the R behind their name, I think
the rs will most of them will remain ours.

Speaker 6 (01:20:27):
And I say most of them, and that kind.

Speaker 5 (01:20:30):
Of goes to your points he bates, which is most
of them might not get the job done. In other words,
if it's most of them but not all of them
and the margin is so tight, that could flip the House.
But I think overall it should be fine. As it
relates to the resignations. Having said that, Donald Trump's not
on the ballot, and that's the bottom line. I mean,

(01:20:52):
he's going to do his town halls, he's going to
do his speeches, he's going to do his raw raw
and then when you walk in there, he's just not
on the ballot.

Speaker 6 (01:20:58):
And there's just a difference. Is just a difference when
go ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
Yeah, there's no real air apparent to Donald Trump. I
know he's trying to say it's JD Vans, but there's a.

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
Lot of pushback to that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
We have Ted Cruz, who apparently is funding an opposition
movement to the Jdvans thing. We have the whole desanis faction.

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
Let's not forget about it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
It's very active, it's out there, it's in social we
have the whole Israel divide. We have the America First
versus Maga divide.

Speaker 4 (01:21:31):
We have a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:21:32):
Going on that we've never really had. It's been decades
since there were was a true division I think among conservatives,
true conservatives, and there is a true division. What people
see as the future of America is varied for the

(01:21:52):
first time, at least as as far as I can remember,
since Obama proposed Obamacare. That's the last time I remember
any sort of division along these lines. Terrence, I don't know,
and I'm not gonna lie. I'm going to always be
transparent with this audience. This is the elephant in the room,
and I think we.

Speaker 4 (01:22:11):
Have to talk about it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
I don't think we get anywhere unless we do talk
about it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:15):
Terrence.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
No, Absolutely, the discussions need to be had. Let's just
be honest. These discussions are being had behind closed doors
from Capitol Hill to Columbia, South Carolina. I mean, the
conversations are absolutely being had and need to be had.
And the reality is that Republicans in particular that's our
focus obviously, are going to need to rally the wagons

(01:22:38):
and make sure the tent is up and bring everyone
in and find common ground. Oh you disagree, David.

Speaker 5 (01:22:45):
No, No, I don't, But I just want to quickly
kind of summarize and say that the controversy kind of
in a nutshell, is this what is maga post Trump?

Speaker 6 (01:22:53):
That's really what we're talking about here. JD.

Speaker 5 (01:22:56):
Vans represents more of that isolationist I hate to use work,
but it is.

Speaker 6 (01:23:01):
That's the best word I can come up with right now,
because I'm.

Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
Not saying he's pure isolationists, but he leans that way,
and he's.

Speaker 6 (01:23:08):
More isolationists than President Trump. That's clear. Just ask MTG.

Speaker 5 (01:23:12):
So there's that way, and then there's the Ted Cruz way,
which is full.

Speaker 6 (01:23:18):
On you know, some would call him a neocon right
that way.

Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
And then there's Rubio, who's kind of interesting, right because
he kind of splitting the difference a little bit. He's
kind of a he is a Neocon, but at the
same time.

Speaker 6 (01:23:30):
He's backed a lot of Trump's vision.

Speaker 5 (01:23:33):
I feel like Trump is in the middle of a
jd Vance and a Ted Cruz and who's going to
be able to fill that middle vacuum of what MAGA truly.

Speaker 6 (01:23:41):
Is because MAGA, Look, MAGA is not purely isolationists.

Speaker 5 (01:23:44):
This idea that MAGA is totally isolationist is not true.

Speaker 6 (01:23:48):
Just look at poll after poll. MAGA folks and MAGA.

Speaker 5 (01:23:52):
Are not only pro Israel, but they they want to
make sure that America is safe based on certain intervention
when we need to. They're not for endless wars, they're
not for just going into countries and nation building, That's
not what I'm saying. But they are for making sure
America is safe around the world in certain spots.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
So yeah, anyhow, well, David, you know, look, it's three
years away. Midterms might bring our nation to a breaking point.
There's no competitor to discuss that.

Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Then the host of.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
Our own breaking point right here on Real America's Voice,
David Zeer, David, you.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
Know there is this divide is the elephant in the room.
Nobody wants to talk about it. I don't want to
talk about division.

Speaker 3 (01:24:30):
I wish we were all united, but the reality is
that that is not the case.

Speaker 4 (01:24:35):
And it really is.

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
You've been around since the Tea Party, David Zeer, the
reality is I've never.

Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
Seen this sort of division.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
How will this impact midterms?

Speaker 18 (01:24:45):
Well, we got to get our act together there because
the early voting starts in nine to ten months.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
And by the way, Happy New Year, Happy, And.

Speaker 18 (01:24:52):
Of eighteen incumbents are leaving Congress or retiring, I think
seven Republicans eleven Democrats.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
As of the other day.

Speaker 18 (01:25:00):
But the GOP has a seven seat lead right now.
I think with two vacancies especial where al Green was
redistrict like that out of the ninth in Texas, he'll
run in the special in the ninth district, and then
New Jersey Governor Mikey Sheryl seats vacant will be filled
again with a Democrat. The Republicans can only afford to
lose a few seats, and the aggregate of the last

(01:25:21):
thirteen polls have the Congress going plus four to the Dems.
One pole has them up sixteen and Mike Johnson, you know,
set a turning point to paraphrasem that we needed to
United Front going forward. I just want to add the
Dems are targeting new swing districts. California's forty eighth with
Daryl Isa who is toying a run in Texas but

(01:25:41):
staying in that San Diego area of Florida's fifteenth in Tampa.
North Carolina's third and eleventh, vulnerable to the Democrats probably
will stay red. Republicans will add another seat, probably in
North Carolina in the first district with Don Davis. And
I got more state breakdowns for you.

Speaker 6 (01:25:59):
Well, let's talk about the states specifically. Yeah, I bet
you do for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
In terms of the states, I mean, are we looking
at the same when you say you mentioned California forty eight,
which reminds me of southern California obviously in that area
the OC and then you've got out west of I say,
we excuse me, east.

Speaker 6 (01:26:18):
Of New York out in Long Island. Are you looking
at like those type of areas specifically? And are there others?

Speaker 18 (01:26:26):
Well, I'm looking at vulnerable districts due to redistricting and
other you know, there's seats where there's going to be
big gains for the Democrats. Four in Virginia maybe maybe,
or maybe three or four in New Jersey going blue.
Indiana lost their bid right the GOP to get those
two dem seats to become Republican. And Texas faces challenges

(01:26:49):
where Trump won in double districts in those Southern Texas
districts that were redistricted and.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Map was held up. Trump's not an automatic win.

Speaker 18 (01:26:57):
These congressmen are not an automatic win over there because
the Latino communities, Hispanics may not go for the Republicans.
Henry quaar Vincent Gonzales still have a chance to stay
in office down there. Utah is going to pick up
one Democratic seat. There's so much going on here and
it's important, and the Dems are going to make an

(01:27:17):
issue of the struggle in economy. You know, I was
in the House on Capitol Hill last week and I
pressed Democratic Senator from Massachusetts Richard Neil on his an
interest rates the answer because they're unleashing this American Affordability
Act and it's going to be the cornerstone of the
twenty twenty six midterms for the Democrats. So they're going
to be obstinate until that so they can get in
front of the American people because there's some centrist stuff

(01:27:40):
in there and first time buyer home opportunity incentives, middle
class tax incentives, but it's really just like another inflation
reduction Act and it's a big giveaway. But this is
going to have popularity, and I'm really worried, you know,
that things may not heat up fast enough in the economy.
Even though Trump's economy is going to take off. Interestates

(01:28:00):
are coming down, you know, I am worried that the
Republicans may seed power in September November.

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
Hey, David, we've got about Sorry, David, we've got about
a minute left, and so I definitely want to get
to what's coming up in breaking point in this new year.
What are some of your plans, what are some of
the storylines you'll be following.

Speaker 18 (01:28:17):
Well, I'm going to be a little festive this year.
I've got more footage of a concert that was held
at the America First Warehouse with Natasha Owens, who wrote
the song Trump one After twenty twenty, and it was
really nice. I'm Al Kiever, this brilliant gospel guitarist. I'm
going to show footage of that, and I have some
interviews with some the Warrior Ranch Foundation helping people with

(01:28:40):
PTSD who served in our military, And I'm going to
give a breakdown on these races, and you know, stay
tuned for a breaking point, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:28:49):
We sure will promise this to be a great year
on breaking point in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
David Zeer, thanks for being here.

Speaker 6 (01:28:56):
Happy, Thank you everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
Happy New year.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Right, well, war of fun New Year's Day edition of
American Sunrise that'll be coming up in just a moment.

get right into what's in the cup today and the
one one thing that's more overdue than taking down your
Christmas tree in March is Donald Trump's Nobel Peace Prize win.

(01:31:07):
While other presidents got the prize for vibes and hope.
President Trump broke a four Middle East peace deals, de
escalated conflicts from Armenia to South Asia, and helped negotiate
the twenty twenty five Israel Hamas ceasefire that brought hostages home.
Now half the planet is nominating him, from Europe to Pakistan,

(01:31:28):
to leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, all of them saying
the very same thing quote, this guy actually delivered peace
in true Trump fashion. He just renamed the US Institute
of Peace the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. It's
a fitting name for the president who ended more wars
than some of his some of these career diplomats have

(01:31:49):
ever even read about. So, as we kick off twenty
twenty six, here's a question for you and for the
Nobel Committee. If this isn't a peace prize, resume, what
is exactly is let's bring in doctor Gena and David
Add to flesh all of this out. So we all
agree that the pre the doctor Trump, the President Trump,

(01:32:10):
excuse me, is absolutely worthy of this honor. Will it
happen in Doctor Gina, what do you think has been
his biggest effort towards peace globally.

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
In your mind?

Speaker 4 (01:32:24):
Here's what I know.

Speaker 3 (01:32:25):
Every single event for the next La La Law years
is going to be named the Liberty Patriots Peace Prize
for Donald Trump. It doesn't matter what the event is.
Every event I'm invited to for the next year, and
there are a lot of events here, are all creating

(01:32:48):
a new.

Speaker 4 (01:32:49):
Peace prize for Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:32:51):
I think, as I talk about all the time on
this show Parallel Economy, I think the Nobel Peace Prize
much like many things. I mean, look, what's how up
into all of the woke movements, all of the woke institutions,
all of the woke restaurants, all of the woke beer companies.

Speaker 4 (01:33:10):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
If you're woke, you're broke, and the Nobel Peace Prize
is woke and it will be broke.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
That's what I think, David. I think it's a roant.

Speaker 5 (01:33:19):
I totally think it's irrelevant. And I know if and
when he wins the Nobel Peace Prize, we'll say coming
up today on American Sunrise, and we'll.

Speaker 6 (01:33:28):
Make a big deal and everybody will make a big
deal about it. Because I get it. It's the Nobel
Peace Prize. I couldn't give a rip.

Speaker 5 (01:33:34):
Look, this is the Norwegian Nobel Committee made up of
five members.

Speaker 6 (01:33:40):
That's it. Five Norwegians screwing a light bulb. No, I
don't know. There's a joke somewhere in there. The point is,
come on, I.

Speaker 5 (01:33:49):
Mean these are five Seriously, it's the five Norwegians are
going to decide who's the most PC president out there
or a PC person out there.

Speaker 6 (01:33:57):
PC. Well, you know what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
Anyhow e a c YAC.

Speaker 6 (01:34:03):
My point simply is I think that's how justice much stupid.
It's stupid. It is I.

Speaker 13 (01:34:11):
Fair.

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
If fair happened, this show would have Emmy's Right. If
fair happened, amazing actors that we see on TV would
have Academy Awards.

Speaker 4 (01:34:22):
The list goes on. This isn't a fair world.

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
Create your own, create your own reality, parallel economy.

Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
Fingers crossed. President Trump will be a piece of Nobel
Laurie and get the Peace Prize. Still ahead, we're taking
a look back at our most defining moments of twenty
twenty five. All of this as we begin to look
forward to this new year. We're back with a special
edition of American Summarising Minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:34:57):
Right here we are Welcome back to the almost first
show of twenty twenty six. Conclusion almost concluded. Welcome back
to American Sentrise. I'm back to gen thank you so
I can't didn't get that sentence. Look, I'm tired. It's
been a long week, yes, but a great one. It
is time now for our sunnyside up in the pan. Today,
as we begin a new year, we want to look
back on the moments we loved most in twenty twenty five.

(01:35:21):
Terrence would have been the most wonderful things that have
happened to you this past.

Speaker 14 (01:35:25):
Year, personally or professionally, Doctor Gina, both both.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
Both financially or otherwise.

Speaker 1 (01:35:33):
Now, obviously, this show, this show is it's where I
spent most of my time. You know, most of my
time is spent with you guys, either preparing for the
show or during the show. And it's been a blessing.
Being here with both of you has been a blessing.
Serving this community of patriots has been a blessing. I
see it that way, and I'm looking forward to what

(01:35:54):
twenty twenty six has in store, not just for our country.
