Ahead on this special fourth of July edition of American Sunrise,
a celebration of what makes our country great, strong and secure,
and coming up in moments, a look at how President
Trump is working to enshrine and ensure the freedoms that
Americans have fought and died for, Plus the making of America.

(00:20):
King George the Third, the last British monarch to lay
claim to these United States, reigned over the largest empire
that planet Earth had ever seen. He was a one
World government globalist, and he ruled through mandates ahead the
lessons our founding fathers wanted in place to enshrine and
sustain our freedoms. And as explosive as fireworks and the

(00:43):
rockets red Glare are Ted Nugent, the one and only
MotorCity Madman, is here with his take on our great country,
the American Way, and why one nation under God really
does matter. Those stories and so much more on this
special fourth of July edition of American Sunrise. It starts

(01:04):
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Politics.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
We have to protect the American family.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
The American dream is still alive.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'm David Brodie, I'm Terrence.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
And I'm doctor Gina. Good morning, Happy Independence Day to

(01:56):
in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, gentlemen, Happy Independence Day
to both of you.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Happy Who is one to say to you? Doctor g
you as well, David.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yes, the lot flag. I'm waving flag, you gotta that's
my flag.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
You're waving your imaginary flag. We carry our flag with
us at all times. So what are the big plans
for the day, guys. I'm sure you guys have big plans, traditions,
maybe with the family, Doctor g.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Me just trying to keep my boys from blowing up
the house in each other.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, that was it last year?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Was it a g That was the same thing.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Oh my gosh, my children are crazy and The worst
part was, you know, we went on that road trip
a few weeks ago to Missouri and uh, and my
kids love to stop it every single fireworks stand along
the way. That's what a road trip means to them.
So that they can spend all of their money on
an arsenal, right, so that they can blow things up
on fourth and job? What is it with you guys?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Girls?

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Don't do this tough terrence. You know, as a father
of daughters and no sons, your Fourth of July is
probably going to be very civilized as opposed to mine.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I wish, I wish I had a good response to that.
I don't know how civilized it is because my girls
tend to fight over the potato salad and who gets
the first hot dog off the grill. So, yes, civility
is out the door in our house, particularly once that
grill gets going.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
David, Yeah, well, look, guys like to blow things up.
What do you what do you want from us? All right,
so that's what we do. I know it's kind of wacky.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Wait wait, but David, I know in your family you'll
be dressing up for the occasion.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh, absolutely not, though I would like to say no,
I'm not going to dress up. I mean, I'm going
to have some sort of red or white, but I'm
not going to do like a whole like ensemble and listen,
knock yourself out if.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
You do it. Are you going to do that? Doctor
g Are you going to be.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
All dressed up?

Speaker 4 (03:42):
You know? I have to tell you. I usually do
dress up, just a little bit, like I have some
little red white and blue star earrings which I actually
forgot to bring towards with it today. But you are
the family, David Brodie. You guys dress up. You do
like whole days where you where you're later hosen. You
do like a German fest, and then you do like
an Irish party, and then you do like a Congo party.
I don't know. You guys have all sorts of things

(04:02):
going on in the Brody household.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
We do.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
We are, Yeah, we have theme lunches, but we are
themed out at this point.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
I think.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
So we're just gonna have a nice Fourth of July. Yes,
we'll wear some red, white and blue and that really
the question for me is for sure we're gonna do fireworks,
But am I going for seconds or thirds? Is really
the question. It is a game time decision. In terms
of the meal, I'm not sure, but I'm thanking on thirds,
I think, David.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'd like to suggest to you and your family that
you do with seventeen seventy sixteen, like I'd like to
see you in the old garb with the with the
buckle shoes and all of that shot and please take
pictures so that I can post. Yes, yes, please take
pictures so if I can post. I'm all for that.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, this is a demand.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
I will do it.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Your wish is my command.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Okay, there you go. This is already starting off to
be a great show. Doctor Gina, would you give us
our Bible versus The.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Bould love to do that. Today's Bible versus from Psalm
one hundred, verse four, enter into his gates with thanks,
and into his courts with praise, be thankful to him
and bless his name. And I always want to, especially
when we are in a powerfully patriotic holiday, you know,

(05:14):
echo back to that beautiful verse that talks about humbling
ourselves and seeking his face and turning away from our
wicked ways because He will hear us and heal our land.
I feel like we've witnessed that very recently with the
turn of events from the last election time until now.
Turning now from that the Lord, of course, we could
celebrate him all day long, but we get to celebrate

(05:35):
the great nation which he has ordained. It was two
hundred and forty nine years ago to day that the
founding fathers of these United States declared their independence from
the British Empire and colonial rule. They had the guts,
they had the vision to create a more perfect union,
and the amazing country that we live in today is
a result of this great experiment and their sacrifice. For

(05:58):
more on this special day and political strategist, media commentator,
and all around extraordinary gentleman Mark Serrano, President and founder
of Proactive Communications, Happy July, Happy fourth of July to you,
Mark Serrano. You really are a gentleman. I think people
should know that you in your daily walk. I remember

(06:19):
one time we were at a restaurant together and I
believe it was Washington, d C. And somebody told me
to take my dog out of the restaurant. And you
have never seen Mark is the sweetest, nicest guy until
you offend one of his friends and then loyalty kicks in.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Spend Doctor g and I'm going to be in your face.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Mark, how will you be spending your holiday weekend?

Speaker 8 (06:39):
Well, Happy Independence Day, Gang, Look on this day of liberty.
I like to exercise my rights, God given rights. So
I'll be on getter and ex sort of using my
First Amendment rights with patriotic and probably some provocative statements.
I'll probably go to the range to exercise my Second
Amendment rights, and naturally, as David was saying, you know,

(07:00):
I think I'll probably exercise that great American rights to
overreach today as well. But you know, if you think
about the wisdom of the founders today, think about it.
The leftists have gotten us driven into a ditch over
the years, if you think about Carter and Obama and Biden,
and yet the Founders had the wisdom to give us

(07:20):
the tools to fix it every.

Speaker 7 (07:21):
Time, just like Donald Trump is doing.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Hey, you brought up President Trump. So let's talk about
the fact that today is is one hundred and sixty
six day in office, obviously for this second term in
the United States. Looking back at the whirldwind of what
has been this second term for President Trump, what are
some of your big takeaways for the administration, and what
are you looking forward to for the rest of this
year and let's just go in and put it out

(07:46):
there for the next three years.

Speaker 8 (07:48):
Wow, Terrence, one hundred and sixty six days. It feels
like it's been years at this point. But you know,
there's a certain energy in America right now thanks to
Donald Trump.

Speaker 7 (07:56):
In one hundred and sixty six days.

Speaker 8 (07:57):
It's almost like, you know, seventy seventy six again taking
us back there with you know, much better Wi Fi
and you know, better food today. But you know, the
other thing, there are a number of things that stand
out to me too.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
The legacy media.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
They are so powerless now and they are like, you know,
the Ayatola. I mean, at this point, they are decimated
in terms of the power they used to enjoy because
this administration has embraced new media like never before.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
It's incredible.

Speaker 8 (08:27):
And you know, if you do a matchup with Biden
and Trump in the first one hundred and sixty six days,
I sort of calculated the productivity of the presidency where
Biden at this point had had about three thousand hours
of sleep and Trump has had maybe six or seven
hundred hours of sleep.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
By one hundred and sixty six days.

Speaker 8 (08:44):
So that alone shows you the productivity of the presidency
under Trump.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh, that is a good stat I like that. Sat
All right, Mark, here is the question of the hour.
Will you or won't you talk politics at whatever party
you're going to?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
That is?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
And and do you sanction food fights if something gets ugly?
That's really the question.

Speaker 8 (09:06):
So I have a general rule of thumb, I don't
talk politics and until somebody uses the letters A, O, C.
And then you know, I just I dive in because
that's you know, all bets are off at that point.
But you know, usually, you know, if you're at a
at an Independence Day party, Fourth of July party, somebody
starts getting into Trump or or a leftist start gets
into it, the first thing I'll usually do is say,

(09:28):
have you tried the potato salad?

Speaker 7 (09:29):
It's fantastic, and see if they'll take me up on it.

Speaker 9 (09:32):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
But you know, usually, and doctor Gina will appreciate this. Usually, honestly,
when somebody's trash talking Trump, I will listen because I
learned so much about psychosis and the wayward ways of
the left. It's amazing when you actually just listen to

(09:52):
what they say and they're warped reasoning, so I learn
a lot. Funny enough, I usually just shut up up
and let them talk.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
You can usually also diagnose what stage of TDS they're
in too.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Let's stage one four.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
But do you find mark because you know my family
were I don't want to say monolithic. But let's say
we agree on all the big points, so we tend
to debate the minutia. We tend to debate the very
much finer points that probably no one else in the
whole world even really cares about but our family.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
And it's always a very spirited debate.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Even though we agree on Trump, we're all pro life
for all Christians. Today we'll we'll debate on some finer
point of doctrinal relevance to political affair, you know, just something.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
But we can't not debate.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
My family is a family that debates. It's just as
what we do. Do you find yourself doing that? And
do you ever think, wait, why did I raise such
a political family?

Speaker 8 (10:52):
Well, you know, you know why you get away with
that in your family is a lot with my family
and my businesses. If you if you go old school
and you start with the fundamental, basic level of respect
for each other, like Americans used to, then you can
debate anything that's true. I mean, that's what I enjoy
is getting into some of those issues because you've got
mutual respect.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah yeah, And Mark, I'll just say one last thing
as we wrap up here. We shouldn't take it for
granted that we celebrate July fourth. And I know that
sounds kind of strange to even think about that. We
would never celebrate July fourth in this country. But the
way the liberals are going, I mean, if America offends
everybody at some point, are they they could cretail some

(11:36):
of these big celebrations. I know it sounds like it
would never happen, but never say never.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
I agree, David, especially after that woman I can't even
think who it was, and nobody saying the Mexican national
anthem and was all bragging about it right a couple
of weeks ago, remember, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
Well, look what a great day to rejoice.

Speaker 8 (11:54):
And thanks to President Trump and his confidence, his strength,
we can all embrace our free tom in a new way.
I mean, he's redefined politics in America. I think he's
redefined war frankly, because he can use war to lead
to immediate peace. And I think we're seeing that player
right now. He's redefining the American economy because American workers

(12:16):
are starting to already in one hundred and sixty six
days realize those benefits.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
What a day to be alive. And by the way, last.

Speaker 8 (12:23):
Point on this too, David is right here at Real
America's voice. This is where freedom rings. This is where
we have embraced our First Amendment rights in a new way,
and we are reaching more and more people every day,
and this is the best show on RAV American Sunrise
to do that.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I will tell you we're going to send you some
money from that one.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Marsha, Mark, listen. A happy Independence Day to Stacy and
the family. We send you all all the love and
all the wonderful patriotic feels to Mark, thanks for being
with us.

Speaker 7 (13:01):
Thanks everybody, God bless.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
God, bless you. Coming up, we check out the hottest
headlines from the RAP Newsroom with Tea Bates and that
and so much more. As a special Independence Day, American
Sunrise marches on.

Speaker 10 (13:26):
This news break gets brought to you by AMAC Association
of Mature American Citizens.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Now there are some fireworks, That's what I'm talking about,
all right, We're going to get to that later tonight.
Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise on this fourth of
July edition coming up a celebration of America, also our
country's independence and the patriots who gave so much to
get us here to this spot right now.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
First lit Tea Bates standing.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
By with the way headlines from the Real American's Voice
newsroom sponsored by AMAC.

Speaker 10 (14:03):
The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice
for Americans fifty and older. AMAC is fighting for the values.

Speaker 9 (14:12):
That you hold dear and join.

Speaker 10 (14:14):
Today together we can write the course of America.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
This holiday weekend, expect a major surgeon travel with record
breaking numbers of people hitting the road, flying, and taking
other modes of transportation to get out of town. If
you're hitting the road, Triple A predicts nearly seventy one
million people are doing the same. Most will be traveling
fifty or more miles from home to celebrate the holiday.
If that's you, then you may want to hit the

(14:41):
road before noon on July third or before eleven o'clock
in the morning on July seventh. Know to avoid peak traffic. Plus,
if you're concerned about gas prices, don't be because this weekend,
prices are expected to be around three twenty cents a gallon,
and if you're flying the friendly skies, the number of
air travelers is expected to set a new record, with

(15:03):
five point seven to four million people projected to fly
and over four point six million people expected to travel
by bus, crews or train. That's a nine percent increase
over last year. Wouldn't you know myself? You can eat
all you can there? And what's on your table this
holiday weekend? That's a question. Well, hot dogs and hamburgers

(15:23):
are hands down the most consumed foods on the fourth
of July, according to Time Time to Play excuse me
who gathered and analyzed data from across these United States.
It varies depending on where you live Across the board, though,
the top July fourth dishes include potato salad, baked beans,
deviled eggs, macaroni salad, smoke brisket, grilled corn, and smoked ribs.

(15:48):
Honorable mentions include smoked chicken, wings, coslog, grilled prawns. Who
eats grilled prawns checking on the fourth of July? Anyway,
that's what the survey says. Cheesecake rounds out the desserts,
So what did the founding fathers eat on July fourth?
Back in the day, you might ask, Well, legend has
it that on July fourth of seventeen seventy six, John

(16:10):
Adams and his wife Abigail celebrated the country's independence with
the meal of turtle soup, poach salmon with egg sauce.
Egg sauce, okay, green peas and new potatoes and jackets, which,
of course sort of sounds dreadful compared to a hamburger,
a hot dog, and some incredible side dishes. But that's

(16:30):
what they ate, poached Atlantic salmon in egg sauce. I
wonder what egg sauce is if that's like holidays or
something like that. Anyway, are you planning on tuning in
for Macy's big Fourth of July fireworks display tonight? Well,
if so, you're not alone. Three million people are expected
to be in attendance in New York City to watch
those fireworks in person while on TV and across other platforms.

(16:54):
NBC is hoping to match or beat last year's show
that drew seven point six million viewers across all platforms.
The big show across Macy's roughly six million dollars to
put on and the fireworks are shot from five bares
positioned around downtown through Midtown Manhattan. Some of the pyrotechnics,
by the way, will reach heights of one thousand feet.

(17:16):
The fun al gets underway tonight at eight pm with
various music acts and celebrities. But if you're watching just
for the fireworks will those typically start around nine to
twenty five and last for about thirty minutes. It'll be
quite a show. All right, folks, we're gonna take a
quick break when we come back. If you plan on
lighting off some fireworks yourself, well we've got some safety

(17:37):
tips that you need to hear in order to avoid injury. First, though,
a quick look at this day in history, and I
bet you know what we're gonna be highlighting. It was

(17:58):
on this day in seventeen seventy six, that the Declaration
of Independence, the founding Document of the United States, was approved, adopted,
and proclaimed by the Second Continental Congress. It was a
formal call for America to separate from Great Britain. Congress
resolved that quote these United Colonies are, and of right

(18:18):
ought to be free and independent states. The Founding Father's
Declaration changed the course of not only American history, but
world history in general. And it was their resolve which
has been the foundation of our great nation for the
last two hundred and forty nine years and the reason
that we celebrate our great nation today. We're back with

(18:40):
more of this special July fourth Independence Day edition of
American Sunrise.

Speaker 11 (18:44):
In just a moment, everybody loves the American Campfire. Don't
you hear it calling your name? Everybody knows you name.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
That is what I'm talking about. Ain't no smooth jazz
in this segment. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. I'm
David Brody here with my co host, of course, doctor
g and T Bates and that, of course was the
one and only MotorCity mad Man, host of Spirit Campfire
here on rav A true patriot. Let's make the three
box a four box and bring in Ted Nugent, true patriot. Ted,

(19:37):
Welcome to this special July fourth edition of American Sunrise.
But then again, in your life, every day is July fourth.

Speaker 12 (19:44):
Yeah, if you know it's that, David, Doctor Gita, terriag
God bless you people. Celebrate it like you made it.
By the way, do celebrate that independence is a daily
procedure in the Nugent camp and we have campfires. We're
celebrating the First Amendment, of course, with brass rainbows. We're
going to celebrate these amendment as well.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
Ted.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
You know when you just said that, I think while
Independence Day, yes, we're celebrating it as a national holiday,
but there's also something to be said about the value
of independence even in our everyday lives. It was once say, God,
blessed child that has his own something my dad often
reminds me of when I ask him for money.

Speaker 12 (20:20):
Well, Independence Day, I just did a I was honored
and humbled. Every day I hear from these heroes of
the military every day. I mean, I have such a
relationship with the warriors, and I stood on one hundred
and fifteen degree tarmac and Fallujah with Toby Keith and
saluted way too many flag drape coffins for me not
to understand the cost of freedom. So when I say

(20:40):
Happy Thanksgiving every day, Happy Independence Day every day, I
really mean it because God gave me another day. So
I'm going to fight for these freedoms. Remember, the whole
world was a slave driving hell. The whole world was
about powermongers and slaves and the founding fathers were the
first one to discover their middle finger and say, no,
whatever the king doesn't allow, we're going to write it down,

(21:03):
and from now on we're doing all the stuff the
king doesn't allow. That's the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution,
the build of Rights. And I was at Hillsdale College,
the last bastion of real constitutionalism, with the great Kansas
Attorney General Chris Colback, and we taught a Second Amendment class.
The author of Wango Tango actually taught a Second Amendment
class at Hillsdale College. And I looked at all the

(21:24):
students in the eyes and I said, think, you're already
at Hillsdale College. So you've been thinking. But everybody right
now watching rav think you could have written the Declaration
of Independence. You could have written the Constitution and the
Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights because they're self
evident truths. So that's what I fight for every day

(21:46):
because the enemy, the big media, academia, the government for
the most part up until November fourth last year, they
need to be pushed back. I'm your pushback daddy. So
Independence Day really is a seller at the Nugent household
every day.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Love that, and you know you mentioned the troops. Who
are some of the Americans who are living or deceased
that you admire them most? Who would you, Ted Nugent,
if you could sit across the table from just about
anyone living or deceased, who would you sit with over
what's in the cup? And what would you talk about?

Speaker 9 (22:24):
Well?

Speaker 12 (22:24):
President Lincoln, who obviously identified in his heart that the
self evident truth was that man can't own a man,
that you can't have slaves, we had to end that.
We stopped it really when the founding Fathers came here
and erected their middle finger, which, by the way, I
had a bumper crop of middle fingers this year. If
you're running low, I can have them airlifted into your body.
The point is is there's a spirit of defiance. The

(22:47):
pulse of America is to be defiant, to think, to
embrace the self event truth. So President Lincoln, President Washington
Chesty Poller of the US Marine Corps. I mean, there's
so many here that I instinctively and spiritually know and
understand because they were defiant thinkers, and their intellect and

(23:10):
their spiritual pulse defied the kings and the emperors and
the tyrants and the furors and the despots. So I'm
just a guitar player. But my most valuable trait, there's
so many. My most valuable trait is one of defiants,
I think. And if you try to dictate that I
do something wrong and stupid, I'm going to defy you.

(23:32):
I would not have arrested Rosa Parks, I would not
have rated Mara Lago. I would not have shot Vicky Weaver.
I would defy orders that offend my spirit and my
moral compass. And that's what the founding fathers did. Have
you ever heard the celebration of the fourth of July
put quite like that?

Speaker 4 (23:50):
No, definitely not ted you and Sam.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
On my fingers? How often I've heard that? Sorry, go ahead?

Speaker 4 (24:00):
You and samain such a great family, complete with your
furry family members as well. How are you all planning
to spend this holiday?

Speaker 12 (24:11):
Well, we got a lot of family here, a lot
of friends. I have an inner circle. We have a
weekly meeting with taxidermists and butchers and plumbers and welders,
welders on my heroes, and bankers and farmers and ranchers
and landowners. But the nugent family is here, my sons,
my daughters, my grandkids as many as we could wrangle
into the swamps of Michigan because they're all over the country.

(24:31):
But it really is a sacred time. We already started
a couple days ago. We have big feasts and that
the Founding Fathers might have had turtle soup, which is
so good, especially a big snapper you cut them. There's
eleven different meats in a snapping turtle. But the NuGen
is celebrating the Fourth of July by exercising rugged individualism
and definitive independence. We eat venison and wild boar macon.

(24:54):
As my grandkids would say, I want some wild moore macon, Papa.
So we're having a I hell up a barbecue and
we kill it and grill it. And it's the most
sacred celebration of God's renewable protein that ends up on
the barbecue grills. And as I've mentioned, yes, Fourth of
July is special, but we do that every day pretty much.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Wow. Hey, Ted, before we let you go, I'm curious
about your message to America on this Independence Day. You know,
the truth of the matter is is that we talk
about the Founding Fathers and George Washington all of that,
and then the Lincoln and the Civil War time. But
we are living through just historic times now, and I
know we're kind of in the moment of it, but

(25:38):
fifty years, one hundred years from now, people are to
be like, wait a minute. You know my great great
great whatever grandfather grandmother lived in the time of Trump
and the Golden Age. Tell us about your message for
Americans today.

Speaker 12 (25:51):
Well, when you asked who I would be honored and
moved and excited to sit across from, I mentioned the
Founding Fathers and some great great leader. But I've already
sat across from and had dialogue with the great President
Donald Trump. And this is going to go down as
an era very much like seventeen seventy six, very much

(26:12):
like the Revolution against tyrants, because what Joe Biden, what
the Democrats and the Marxist and the Socialists and the
Communists represent is just so vile. It's so anti freedom,
anti life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. I would like
to think, and I believe that if this era is
documented honestly and accurately, and I believe we're moving towards

(26:33):
that honest representation in spite of the dishonest media in
the past. I believe this will go down as a
turning point. Certainly divine intervention that happened in Butler, Pennsylvania
to keep this great leader alive, to have Americans freedoms
the guiding light for his decision making and policy making.
And again, I'm just a guitar player, but I figure

(26:54):
that out all by myself because I'm a husband and
a father, an entrepreneur, and I'm a hunter, so I
have to be aware of my surroundings. And when you're
aware of your surroundings, you have to be very angry
and hurt. What has happened to this experiment in self government?
And finally, Donald Trump and we the people have stopped
the toilet flush and we're back on a true North
compass setting. So let that guide our Fourth of July

(27:17):
or Independence Day, our Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, are
every day in this great nation because it is the
greatest nation.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
We're back on a right path now, for sure, Uncle.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Ted, you said a couple of times during this I'm.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Sorry, David No, Sarah Tarrence, you go, you go.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
I was just going to say, oh, Ted, you said
a couple of times, I'm just a guitar player. I
think you're so much more. Music soothes the soul, and
you have soothed the soul of this nation with your music.
So I'm just curious, is there potential talk or are
you considering potentially doing a new album something that maybe
is a little patriotic. I'm asking you that question since
this is Independence Day, will be nice to hear, and

(27:56):
if you aren't considering it, hopefully you will now after
I've planted the seed.

Speaker 12 (28:00):
Well, Karen Zah, my response would be, who's gonna stop me?

Speaker 10 (28:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (28:04):
I've got music.

Speaker 12 (28:05):
Every day, I'm making these great sexy, grinding motown funk
brother guitar Lenks, Chuck Berry and Little Richard James Brown
has chatteling through my very soul. But watch for a
new Ira Deane song. What would Charlie Daniels do? He
and I just filmed the video with my big bronco
and our guitars and our bows and arrow Iradean, killer video,

(28:25):
killer song. What would Charlie Daniels do? Because Charlie Daniels,
like you and me, would do the right thing and
the song lays it out perfectly. So I did that
with Iradean, and I got a bunch of new songs
I'm about to record, and I'm doing a bunch of
gigs in Michigan this summer. So yeah, the spirit of
MotorCity music is alive and well, I promise you wonderful.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
You are the MotorCity mad Man, Ted, and you're also
great American. Thank you so much, and have a great
Fourth of July.

Speaker 12 (28:53):
You and Jamain, Yeah, thank you, I love you. Thank
God for real America's voice. You guys are doing God's
work and I'm right there with you.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
God. Bless you, guys.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Thank you, thank you, bless you.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
We're back with more of the special Independence Day edition
on American Sunrise in just a moment, appropriate Bump music
as well with ten new jam with us.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
All right, welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm doctor g.
Thank you for joining us. Time now for today's health
news sponsored by the Wellness Company and under the Microscope.
Today tips from the Red Cross on how to have
a safe and healthy Fourth of July. First up, fireworks.
I hope my boys are watching. The safest way to
enjoy a firework is to attend a public fireworks show,
which my family would never do. But when you do,

(29:51):
you're more likely not to get hurt by one when
they are put on by professionals. Many states in fact
outlaw most fireworks like Missouri used to do when I
lived there made me crazy, So they're saying we should
consider celebrating with glow sticks, noisemakers, or silly stringing head Please.
I can't even read this to you. Guys. If you
choose to set fireworks, my kids are going to disown me.

(30:12):
If you choose to set fireworks off at home, follow
these safety steps. Never give fireworks to small children obviously,
and never throw a point a firework toward a person,
an animal, vehicles, structure, or flammable materials. Always follow the
instructions on the packaging because everyone reads the fireworks packaging.
Keep a supply of water close by. Make sure the

(30:33):
person lighting fireworks is always wearing eye protection. That could
be important. I should maybe think about that tonight. Light
only one firework at a time, and never attempt to
relight a dud. Always store fireworks in a cool drive
place away from children and pets. Next, stay cool no
matter where you live. There's a good chance today will
be a hot one. Remember to slow down by postponing

(30:55):
or limiting outdoor activities. If you plan to stay outdoors,
take frequent break and avoid the hottest part of the
day unless you're in a swimming pool. And remember never
leave children or pets in your vehicle alone. Very important. Lastly,
stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. Avoid sugary caffeinated
in alcoholic beverages. Oh sure, And with that being said,

(31:16):
it is a Friday, and it is a holiday weekend,
a Freedom Friday in fact of all freedom Fridays. So
at least limit those drinks and that could be a
win win. You'll enjoy the holiday and you'll have a
hangover free July fifth. Good luck to you on all
of that. A new administration in Washington, DC has brought

(31:37):
a lot of positive changes when it comes to fixing
our broken healthcare system. Reality, however, there's only so much
the government can do. And if we really want to
make America healthy again, that starts at home with each
and every one of us. And that's where the Wellness
Company comes in. You see and hear from their doctors
on this network all the time, and you know that
their products are the gold standard for keeping you and
your family safe and healthy. The Wellness Company gives you

(31:59):

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Thank you, I jettison Terrence. I said I need more airtime.
Just turn it over to me, darn it. Thank you.
Doctor g all right, turning out of the story of
America and the great men and women who helped make
this country great both in our past and in our present.
For that We're going to turn to one of our
favorite guests here in American centri Eyes Gina can confirm

(33:06):
this author, historian, the host of an American Minute and
Faith in History TV, Bill Federer. Bill, great to see you, sir,
Happy fourth of July. So give us and our audience
some insight on who, in your opinion, were some of
the people in our history that turned this great experiment
of democracy into the greatest country on Earth. I'm sure

(33:28):
you've got a list, Bill, Well, I do it.

Speaker 13 (33:31):
You know you wanted to tack on to what Ted
Nugent said. By the way, when I ran for Congress
twenty years ago, he did a commercial for me at
an outdoorsman conference in downtown Saint Louis and called me
up on the stage and slapped me on the back
and let me talk to his crowd. So it was
really fun to see him on the raft today, Patrick Henry,
give me liberty or give me death. That speech inspired

(33:55):
the Founding Fathers. He went on to become the five
time governor of the state of Virginia, and he rated
the Virginia Militia Armory there that the British had and
caused quite disturb Thomas Jefferson. When he penned the Declaration
of Independence, it mentions God four times we had to
claim we had rights from a power higher than the government.

(34:18):
And so he says, all men are and dab by
their creator with certain inalienable rights law of nature and
of Nature's God, appealing to the supreme judge of the world,
with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence.
Matter of fact, two months before they passed the Declaration
of Independence, the same Continental Congress had a day of
fasting and prayer to Almighty God through the marriage and

(34:39):
mediation of Jesus Christ. John Adams, he was the most
successful attorney in Boston, and he put it all on
the line to basically poke the king in the eye.
And so the king wanted him dead. But John Adams said,
I am well aware of the toil and blood and

(34:59):
true measure it will cost to maintain this declaration. Yet
through all the gloom I can see rays of ravishing
light and glory. I can see that the end is
more than worth all the means, and posterity will triumph
in that day's transaction, even though we should ruin it,
which I trust God, we shall not in other words,
though they were willing to sacrifice their prosperity for their posterity.

(35:25):
And he said, we might suffer for it, but I
pray God we don't. Washington, he was unanimously chosen as
the commander in chief, unanimously chosen.

Speaker 9 (35:34):
As the.

Speaker 13 (35:36):
President of the Constitutional Convention where they wrote the Constitution.
He was unanimously chosen the first president, and unanimously re elected.
He put all on the line. And it's interesting I
read through his addresses, his orders, and nearly every battle
he's praying and thanking God. He called providence for coming

(35:56):
through no. Webster's eighteen twenty a dictionary defined providence as
the will of God. But Washington writes this August twentieth,
seventeen seventy eight. The hand of Providence has been so
conspicuous in the course of the war that he must
be worse than an infidel that lacks faith. But it
will be time enough for me to turn preacher when
my present appointment ceases, Like when I'm done being general,

(36:20):
I'll be a preacher and talk about how God moved
miraculously to give us the victory again. The British Empire
was the most powerful empire on planet Earth. The sun
never set on the British Empire. They had Indie, Australia,
New Zealand, and calling British Guyana, Canada, Barbados, Permuta, Jamaica.
In America, the king of England was a globalist. He
was a one world government guy. And America's founders didn't

(36:41):
like one world government guys. They liked Maga make America great, right,
They didn't want to have this globalist king telling us
what to do, so they broke away, flipped it, and
made the people the king. The word citizen is Greek.
It means co ruler, co sovereign, co king. So we
pledge allegiance to their flag and to the Republic, where
basically pledging allegiance to us being in charge of ourselves. Right,

(37:03):
So when you pledge allegiance to the flag, we're saying
that we the people are the king. And thank God
that we have a new leader that's dismantling a lot
of these agencies that have been taking powers away from
us and giving the people more say in running our lives.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Well, I am glad that you obliterated that hooha about
Washington being a deist that the liberals love to propagate.
But Bill, now that we've discussed the people who defined
our country, what were some of the moments that defined
us as a nation.

Speaker 13 (37:33):
Well, one was the Battle of Brooklyn Heights. This is
the largest battle of the entire Revolutionary War, and it's
the entire American army. If we lose it here, it's over.
The British found a loyalist, a spy. It's hard to
imagine that there could be somebody in America that's not
loyal to America. But this loyalist showed the British where
to land where the Americans couldn't see him in New

(37:54):
York and march all night long through Jamaica Pass and
attack Washington from behind. On August twenty seventh, seventeen seventy six.
Three thousand Americans got killed, only three hundred British.

Speaker 9 (38:06):
It was totally lopsided.

Speaker 13 (38:08):
The sun goes down, Washington's pinned up against the water,
probably thinking the next day he'll be hung and America
will be another British colony like India. But instead he
gets every boat he can find and they ferry the
troops across the East River to Manhattan Island. He gets
about half the troops across when the sun starts to
come up, and now he's a sitting duck. There's not

(38:28):
enough troops left to fight, and his chief of intelligence,
Major Ben Talmadge rights. As the dawn of the next
day approach, those of us who remained in the trenches
became very anxious for our own safety. And when the
dawn appeared, there were several regiments still on duty. At
this time, a very dense fog began to rise off
the river and settle in a peculiar manner over both encampments.

(38:49):
I recollect there's providential occurrence perfectly well, and so very
dense was the atmosphere that you could scarcely discern a
man at six yards distance. We tear it until the
sun had risen, but the fog remained as dense as ever.
So they continue to evacuating the American troops. Washington is
on the last boat that leaves. The fog lifts, the
British charge, no one's there. It was the last chance

(39:10):
the British had to capture the entire American army all
at once, and after eight years of fighting, and then
you know Bennett Arnold trying to betray America.

Speaker 9 (39:20):
We finally get.

Speaker 13 (39:21):
Independence, and so this is just again a world changing
event that takes place. And throughout it all they were
having days of prayer, days of Thanksgiving, and even days
of fasting.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Bill Federer just can go on and on with you.
Thank you so very much. It was just wonderful to
have you here, Bill, especially today.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
God bless you all. Happy fourth July, Happy.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
For thanks Bill. All right, we're going to have more
of a celebration of our celebration of America and just
a moment keep it here back in two minutes.

Speaker 14 (40:07):
Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn. Do you

So make sure you're heading to seventeen seventy five coffee
dot com slash rev and grab your starter kit while

(41:12):
it's still available. All right, Now that we are caffeinated,
it's time to stay awake, not woke. And what's woke
you ask, well, the people who have no respect for
their neighbors, Doctor Gene.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
I think you're gonna love this one.

Speaker 14 (41:24):
The headline and inconsiderate neighbor shot off fireworks. So a
homeowner parked in their driveway early in the morning and
haunked their horn until they woke up. All right, here's
the backstory. As we know, working the morning shift can
be grueling.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
We get to bed early, we wake up early.

Speaker 14 (41:41):
It seems that the women in this story that they're
also referring to. They also worked to the early morning
shift her work schedule.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
That wasn't the problem.

Speaker 14 (41:50):
Her neighbors began their July fourth celebrations weeks before the holiday,
blasting ordinances, far later than decency and city regulations allowed.
It woke the woman, freaked out her dog, and woke
her son.

Speaker 6 (42:04):
She says.

Speaker 14 (42:05):
The next morning, I parked in their driveway and honked
my horn until they came out to confront me. I
told them that I would repeat this every morning if
they continued their celebrations past nine pm, as the city mandated,
and I only had to go once. Seems like mission
accomplished for this woman. Would you have handled it that way?
We want to know what you think. Would you have

(42:25):
done the same thing, honking your horn in their driveway?

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Let us know?

Speaker 14 (42:28):
On rumble or get her hop on and let your
voice be heard. Still to come, not American Sunrise, the
intersection where faith.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Meets our independence.

Speaker 4 (42:36):
That's all ahead.

Speaker 14 (42:37):
As the special July fourth edition continues.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
God bless the us.

Speaker 10 (42:55):
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise Time. Now for our
moment of faith. It's brought to us by Lee Greenwood
and the God blessed the USA.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
Bible in focus.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Today the biblical roots of the.

Speaker 5 (43:14):
Declaration of Independence.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
While Americans gather today to celebrate liberty with fireworks and
family and yes, food, lots of it, it's easier to
forget the deeper foundation behind our freedom. We didn't invent this.
It was given to us by God, and our wise
founders accepted and cherished the gift on our behalf. So
today we ask what does the Bible have to say

(43:37):
about liberty and national identity? Well, joining us now, Jim Moseley.
Around here, we call them the Bible history guy. Jim, oh,
I know you have an answer on this. What can
scripture teach us about the true origins of independence?

Speaker 14 (43:51):
Stay?

Speaker 5 (43:52):
Hello, I think it might have a word for us.

Speaker 12 (43:55):
David.

Speaker 15 (43:56):
You know, the roots of our liberty go back way
before seventeen seven. They go to the beginning Genesis, which
teaches that every person is made in the image of God. Well,
you know that single truth that all men are created
equal gave moral weight to our declaration of independence. It
didn't come from human reason, It came from divine Revelation,
and when Jefferson wrote that we are endowed by our

(44:17):
Creator with certain unalienable rights, he was expressing a profoundly
biblical view of the world.

Speaker 5 (44:23):
Because rights don't come from governments.

Speaker 15 (44:25):
They come from God, and that's what makes them unalienable.
You can take away a law, but you can't raise
what God.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Has written into human nature.

Speaker 15 (44:35):
You know, the Ten Commandments given them Mount Sinai are
the world's first charter of human rights. You shall not
murder means you've got the right to life. You shall
not steal that protects the right to property. You shall
not bear false witness that defends the right to justice.
Those rights aren't granted by kings, they're guarded by God.

(44:55):
In Acts chapter seventeen, Paul stood in Athens on Mars Hill,
and he told the Greek that God made from one
man every nation of mankind and determined there are appointed
times and the boundaries.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Of their habitation.

Speaker 15 (45:08):
While that verse teaches that there are two radical ideas here. First,
all nations come from one creator, and second, national sovereignty
is not random, It's ordained by Heaven. And that's why
the declaration doesn't just protest tyranny. It appeals to the
Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions.
The American founders weren't just declaring independence from Britain. They

(45:30):
were declaring dependence on divine justice. They knew that liberty
without virtue collapses, and virtue without God is just not possible.
John Adams once wrote, our Constitution was made only for
a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
the government of any other. And he wasn't just being poetic,
he was being prophetic. Without God, freedom just turns into chaos.

(45:53):
But when a nation acknowledges its creator, liberty can thrive.
And that's why the American experiment is in due not
because it might, but because of meaning. Not because we're perfect,
but because we know our rights are sacred. Ours was
not a revolution of ambition. It was a covenant of conscience,
deeply rooted in the Bible.

Speaker 5 (46:16):
That's wonderful.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
So, Jim, there's so much to discuss about this, but.

Speaker 5 (46:21):
Let me just say this.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
I know that around Washington, d c. Whether it be
in the Supreme Court or in the Capitol, or all
around Washington, even the Washington Monument, there are so many
signs if you will of God around.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
Some physical sum not so physical. But the point is is.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
That there's all of these scriptures and plaques and you know,
the Ten Commandments there at the Supreme Court.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
It really just goes to the Judeo Christian.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Fabric of this country.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Jim, can you talk about that a little bit?

Speaker 15 (46:50):
Well, absolutely, And when people tried to deny those truths,
that's like arguing with the law of gravity. God created it,
and you can argue with it all you want, but
it still happens to be the case. You know, people
may say, well, we don't want to see the Ten
Commandments inscribed in courts, but when somebody steals from them
or tries to kill them, then suddenly those commandments become
deeply relevant and deeply meaningful. So you know, it's just

(47:13):
a reality woven into the fabric of creation by God,
and we can deny it, we can play with it,
we can bend it, but it's still going to remain
absolutely true and absolutely governing of our lives and morals
and ethics and basically our polity.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Yeah, Jim mostly spot on as always the Bible history guy.
Thanks for being here, Jim. Happy fourth of July, Happy
fourth David. All right, and we're back with a second
hour of this special July fourth edition of American Sunrise.
In two minutes, stick around, everybody. Good morning, America.

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

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Well it's culture.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
We have breaking news to share with you.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Politics.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
You've got your couple. This is what it looks like
to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
The American dream is still alive.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and I'm doctor Tina.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Welcome back back, everybody, just the second hour of the
special July fourth edition of American Sunrise.

Speaker 5 (48:28):
I'm David Brody, coming to you from DC.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Let's bring in doctor g She's in West Palm and
t Bates in our Denver newsroom. Good morning to both
of you. Happy fourth of July. Gina, do you have
insurance for your home?

Speaker 9 (48:39):
Just?

Speaker 2 (48:40):
I'm sorry, what are you saying there? Turns?

Speaker 1 (48:42):
I'm sorry, hold on, David, put on the ribs. Put
on the ribs in that port. But and then I'll
be home in a few hours. Okay, I gotta go
now to get back to work. I'm sorry, guys, I
had to get the menu ready.

Speaker 9 (48:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
I like how you're taking care.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Of business alive on the show today. Hey, by the way,
what I was saying, Gene, I want to make sure
you have insurance at your home, just double checking based
on the fireworks that are going down on your home.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yeah, it's probably already started while I'm not there, because
my kids see that as a grand opportunity to do
all things that I don't allow them to do. And
I have to say, my husband is very in on this.
It's not as though my children are defiant because my
husband is an accomplice to these blowing things up that
seemed to happen this time at my house.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Yeah, it's called rights of passage. All of these are
rights of passage, doctor g You know it's guy rights
of passage. It's all good, It's gonna be okay.

Speaker 14 (49:39):
No.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
I parented two girls first, and it was just all
so easy and clean. When they were little, they didn't
blow things up. They just sat in the corner and
played with dolls and sot. This day they want to
sit inside or sit outside with me and drink lemonade
and talk life and do all the things. And boys
are over there just setting bombs off while I'm just
sitting there in innocent fish. I'm in my own backyard.

(50:01):
It's something else, but the food. I do love the food,
and I love to cook, and I love my kitchen
and so and I love our grill and so it
makes me happy to be around the pool with my family.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Nice. I can't wait to get off this show so
I can go home and eat. I'm not gonna eat.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
Pork butts. And what was the other thing, ribs?

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Ribs. Yeah, we're gonna do ribs. We're gonna do pork
button Then of course, you know you got to have
the obligatory potato salad. We've already had our conversation about
potato salad. There's got to be just regular potato salad.
Don't go putting, uh, you know, pretzels and dates and
almonds and nook just regularly.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
No, but I like to red potato salad with the
mayonnaise base instead of the mustard space with the yes.
And I'm wondering you do two, Terrence because having your
German background.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
No, I'm with you. I prefer mayonnaise base. I don't
like vinegar or the mustard. Like, just give me straight mayonnaise.
I will go, you know, if I'm going off the reservation,
some onions in there, but yeah, the mayonnaise based that's
my alley. You have to corn on the cop. My
girls like corn on the cop much more than I do,
but I tend to make it. See, we're going to
do this whole next second.

Speaker 16 (51:06):
Mood is going to be talk to foody, keep going,
yeah what and I'll take something.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Our audience loves that. They get in the chat and
they will talk food. We'll be talking about wars and
you know, assassination attempts and they're like, did you have
a donut today?

Speaker 9 (51:19):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Well, you can eat your way through headlines.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
Go for it. We got to get the headlines, all right.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Well let me take a bite out of these headlines.
Then this holiday weekend expect a major surgeon travel with
record breaking numbers of people hitting the road, flying, and
taking other modes of transportation. If you're going to be
hitting the road, Triple A predicts that nearly seventy one
million people are going to be doing the same, most
traveling fifty or more miles to celebrate the holiday. And

(51:46):
if that's you, then you may want to hit the
road on Monday before eleven am in order to avoid
peak traffic. If you're concerned about gas prices, don't be
because this weekend prices are expected to be around three
dollars and twenty cents a gallon if you're flying the
Friendly Skies. The number of air travelers is expected to
set a new record this year, with five point seven

(52:08):
to four million people projected to fly and over four
point six million people expected to travel by bus, crews
or train. That's a nine percent increase over last year.
And what is on your table this holiday weekend? We
already preview what's on hours. Hot Dogs and hamburgers are
hands down the most consumed foods on the fourth of July,

(52:29):
according to Time to Play, who gathered and analyzed data
from across these United States. It varies depending on where
you live across the board, though, The top July fourth
dishes include potato salad. I'm all for that, baked beans,
I definitely like those as well, deviled eggs. Haven't had
deviled eggs in a while, but I like them as well.
Macaroni salad not such a big thing in our household,

(52:50):
but you know, if you make good macaroni salad, go
for it. Smoke brisket, yeah all there, grilled corn. My
girls like that, as I mentioned, and smoked ribs, yeah,
I'm all about that today. Honorable mentions include smoked chicken wings.
We typically do that at our house as well, coleslaw,
grilled prawns. I'm not so sure about that one. Grilled prawns,

(53:11):
that's interesting. Cheesecake wraps it out, of course, a lot
of people eat cheesecake for dessert. So what did the
founding fathers eat on July fourth? You ask? Well, legend
has it that on July fourth of seventeen seventy six,
John Adams and his wife Abigail celebrated the country's independence
with the meal of turtle soup, poach salmon with egg sauce. Huh,

(53:35):
green peas and new potatoes and jackets, which sort of
sounds dreadful compared to a hamburger or a hot dog,
and some incredible side dishes, but it is an interesting meal.
There an interesting menu. Turtle soup I don't think I've
ever had that, and the poach salmon sounds good, but
in egg sauce that's the one that has me a

(53:55):
little confused. Egg sis that is anyway, are you playing
on tuning in for Macy's Big Fourth of July fireworks display.
If so, you're not alone. Three million people expected to
be in attendance in New York City to watch the
fireworks in person, while on TV and across other platforms.
NBC is hoping to match or at least beat last

(54:16):
year's show, which drew seven point six million viewers across
all platforms. The big show costs Macy's roughly six million
dollars to put on, and the fireworks are shot from
five barges positioned around downtown through Midtown Manhattan. Some of
the pyrotechnics, by the way, will reach heights of one
thousand feet. All the fun starts tonight at eight pm

(54:39):
with various music acts celebrities. But if you're simply watching
for the fireworks, well, they typically start around nine to
twenty five and they last for about thirty minutes in
joy ash. That's a quick check off your headlines. Now
back to David.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
All Right, T Bates appreciate it turning our attention down
from the holiday to the presidency. It's been one hundred
and sixty six y since President Trump took a seat
behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office. That, of course,
is his second round of the presidency. Sorry Kamala, Sorry AOC.
So what have been some of his biggest achievements so far?
Well for that, return to Rav's White House correspondent Brian Glenn,

(55:16):
who has been following it every step of the way.

Speaker 5 (55:19):
Brian, good to see you.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Happy fourth of July.

Speaker 17 (55:21):
By the way, Well, I'm extremely hungry now, and Terrence,
I'll fallow up by cancelate in doctor Gina and I
love this conversation, by the way, and I agree with
everyone so far, but I want to be the one
that brings the homemade ice cream.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
Oh, I loved ice c great idea. Yeah, I'm sitting
here texting my husband a list of things that I
wanted to go to the store.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Care Ran, you just found yourself an invitation to our
next family cook out with the homemade ice cream.

Speaker 17 (55:49):
Yes done, Consider it done?

Speaker 9 (55:51):
Not a great tradition in America? Yeah, no, I'm assuming No.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Oh, no, no, no ever, no, no for sure. So
what do you think, By the way, Brian, what if
I was curious? What do you think have been some
of Trump's biggest victories so far?

Speaker 15 (56:07):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Did I cut you offeld about food. Actually, I feel
horrible about it.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
I was so I was so focused on food.

Speaker 9 (56:16):
No President Trump.

Speaker 17 (56:18):
I think what it was biggest accomplishments really a couple
of things. I like, what has done with the culture
in America. We brought our nation's pride back. We brought
the military support for our military back. We just came
what three weeks ago, we had the biggest military parade
I think.

Speaker 9 (56:36):
We've ever had in this country.

Speaker 17 (56:37):
And I was proud to be there on the ground
watching it, like many of our viewers watched it.

Speaker 18 (56:42):
He brought patriotism back to this country, a love of
country when we went through four years of Joe Biden
absolutely destroying any type of patriotism that knew movie would
would have and not making us proud.

Speaker 9 (56:56):
And now we have a leader on stage.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
The images you're looking.

Speaker 9 (56:58):
At right there.

Speaker 17 (56:59):
He brought manufacture sur back this country, bought the steel
workers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio. He brought production back to America.
He brought pride back to America, national pride.

Speaker 9 (57:12):
Back to America.

Speaker 17 (57:13):
He actually one of the things he did, and we
were there in the in the in the in the
the West room, there. Uh the East Room, brother was
he signed an executive order banning men and women's sports.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
That's huge now, it's huge.

Speaker 17 (57:29):
And so on the cultural side, he did that, we
renamed a body of water the Gulf of America.

Speaker 9 (57:35):
Who can't be proud.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
Of the hats are everywhere?

Speaker 9 (57:38):
Yeah, especially on July fourth?

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Why not love it exactly?

Speaker 4 (57:43):
Exactly? Brian? Have you ever had toad in the hole?

Speaker 9 (57:46):
I don't think I have.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
Yesterday, And it is actually really really good, y'all to
look it up and find the easy recipe and make
it very good.

Speaker 6 (57:55):
I would have.

Speaker 4 (57:58):
It's side of like a pancake with Gravyes. Yes, a
fantastic fantash. I highly recommend. Let's talk about for one
moment something newsy again. What if I tune our focus
to the Trump cabinet. Who stands out to is the
most surprising and formerly underrated member who's excelled in their

(58:18):
capacity in his cabinet?

Speaker 17 (58:20):
I've got two of them. I've got Christy. No, in
my opinion, I didn't have. It's not that I didn't
have expectations for I didn't know what to expect because
you take someone that was a governor of a state
that Let's be honest, there's not a whole lot going
on there in her state, but you put her in
charge of holemand security, especially coming off four years of

(58:42):
Joe Biden, she has a large task there and she
has done a phenomenal job in that.

Speaker 9 (58:48):
And number two is Pete Headseth.

Speaker 17 (58:50):
I think he's turned around, like we said a few
minutes ago, the military. Now people want to sign up
and enlist in the military. They've hit all the recruitment,
they've hit all their quotas of who they want to,
you know, get volunteered, and people coming forward obviously to
serve in our military.

Speaker 9 (59:07):
So he's brought that back. I think.

Speaker 17 (59:09):
I think, actually, let me rephrase this, all of them,
all of them have done a phenomenal job because they're
inheriting a very difficult time in America financially, security, foreign policy.

Speaker 9 (59:24):
Was a disaster.

Speaker 17 (59:25):
There was no falling policy with Joe Biden. He just
threw a dart at the board and whatever it landed,
that was his take on that country. So President Trump
has put the best of the best in front of
the American people and he's let them do their job.
He's enabled them to do their job. And I think
it's important.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Hey, Brian, before we let you go, I want to
ask you a bit of a personal question. Has covering
this I think we.

Speaker 9 (59:50):
Have no more time left this segment. We're done audio
check chuck check check.

Speaker 6 (59:58):
For some reason I lost you there, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
That's hilarious. No covering this administration been what you expected.
And I asked you that question because I was watching
a news conference the other day. It was a press gaggle,
and it really turned out to be more of a
conversation between you and President Trump. The other reporters just
happened to be party to that, and it was an
interesting dynamic to watch unfold.

Speaker 17 (01:00:23):
Now, Terrence, that was a very special moment, and I've
had a lot of people approached me and they love
the intimacy of that conversation. It was about the big,
beautiful flagpole that he was putting down. He was so
interested in telling everyone that it went nine feet down,
it was packed with sand.

Speaker 9 (01:00:39):
Not dirt, because dirt can erode the pole.

Speaker 17 (01:00:42):
He was so passionate about that project, and it just
so happens. We talked about other issues. We talked about,
you know, obviously, what's going on in Iran. We talked
we talked about golf, we talked about his personal time,
we talked about everything. So that was a very special moment.
I want more of those moments. I think if we
had more of those moments of President Trump, I think

(01:01:02):
it would change the tone of the media and the
way they approach him in a softer, more personal way.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
I've always thought that too. Brian, like, his natural persona
is so just not just authentic but magnetic that I
want the American public to just see more. If I
were him, I just I just have cameras around with me.
That republic like a sea span all the time.

Speaker 17 (01:01:25):
Anyway, Yeah, go go ahead, and we call the pizza
place so we get my pizza.

Speaker 9 (01:01:29):
You guys got homemade food.

Speaker 17 (01:01:30):
I'm calling a pizza Yeah, to like the place in order.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
To pick up please, Yeah, you do that for app
me forthout asking. Yeah, for sure. I'm listening to everything
you've been saying. I've also been google imaging toad in
the hole.

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
It looks delicious, but delicious. Good to see.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Thanks, great rest of the day. Thank you, all right, Well,
hopefully get.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
To show back on track. Here in a moment of
the special July fourth edition of American sunrise in just
a moment, back in.

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
A moment, everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
Welcome back, everybody to American Centrize. I'm David Brody. Great
to have you with us this morning. All right, time
now to drain the swamp. And look we've got the fireworks.
How do we say this of another kind? This morning?
Not pretty, because this morning we're flushing out house Democrats
in Oregon. Uh here's the headline from the Washington Stand
and it says it all drag show on Oregon's House

(01:02:41):
floor sparks outrage. You can say that again. Democrats decided
to use valuable time in the Oregon legislature to invite
a couple of drag queen performers to strut their stuff
on the House floor to honor Pride Month. It was
sponsored by the first openly black LGBT member of the
Oregon House to honor a resolution that he was pushing

(01:03:03):
that celebrates the history of black drag in Oregon. And now, everybody,
we've come to the part of the story and the
show where we show you what went down on the
Oregon House floor, and sadly here it is.

Speaker 9 (01:03:39):
Yuck.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
At the end. The performance literally received a standing ovation
from the Democrat lawmakers who were present. Let's bring in
doctor G. Terrence to talk about this. Okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:03:55):
Did you say something, David? There was some clamor I couldn't.
Something's wrong, I think with my I FB just kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Ring on.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Fireworks. I don't know that's the transition. I don't hear
no evils, you no evil speaking to evil. I don't
have to tell you. Go ahead, Gena, please, I don't.
Would you even want to say anything about this? Really?

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
Can we talk about food again instead? Or perhaps we
could talk about fun Fourth of July fashion? I love that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Yeah, Like, what was the point?

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
What was the point?

Speaker 5 (01:04:31):
There was no point, that's the point.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
I think, Yeah, Like, what's the point? What's to be gained?
And let's not even get into what's appropriate for the
halls of any state legislature. Well we can get into
that too, that's a whole other conversation. But but what's
the point, Like, what's there to be gained? And and
and I'm asking that rhetorically, but I would love to
I would love an answer from someone like what's there

(01:04:54):
to be gained from this?

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
How do the people of Oregon benefit from this? I'd
love for a lawmaker or the lawmaker responsible to answer
that one question. And I'm even open to truly listening
in a way. Yeah, okay, I'm going in with with
a preconceived notion, yes, and a prejudice. But I would
love that answer, and I'm not so sure the people
of Oregon will ever get a reasonable answer. All right,

(01:05:16):
I'm done, I'm good.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Well listen. I mean, I don't have an answer for you,
but I can just tell you this. Let's just forget
about the content for a second. Though quite frankly, we
can't forget about that content. But let's forget about it
for a second. Are they gonna have evangelicals going down
the aisle with tambourines, you know, praising Jesus? I mean,
you know that that's not happening either, by the way,

(01:05:38):
though not a bad idea, but anyhow, the point is
not happening. So you know, stop, I mean, this isn't Broadway.

Speaker 5 (01:05:44):
So can we can we just stop?

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Gina? I mean, I don't know, Gina, don't want to
say anything more about this story.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
Other side, can a Christian come in and sing some hymns,
some good old fashioned hymns? You know, I bet they
wouldn't even let that happen. It's the most ridiculous thing ever.
Let's call it what it is. It's evil. Evil, it's debauchery.
It's mocking, it's mocking everything that is sacred about this
country that was founded on Judaeo Christian principles. It's disgusting
and I never care to see anything like that again.

(01:06:09):
I'm sorry it gets any attention, and I'm sorry we
have to play it, but it is what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
And remember Democrat lawmakers gave them a standing ovation. Let's
remember that too. We're back with more of this special
Independence Day edition of American Centriz in two minutes.

Speaker 16 (01:06:23):
Back in a moment, folks, It's Manhatan, Manhattan, New York.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Good morning to you, and thanks so much for being
here with us on this special Independence Day excuse me
edition of American Sunrise. I'm Terrence Bates. I guess that's
what I get for being a smart alec and calling
man Hattan Manhattan.

Speaker 9 (01:07:02):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
I know that you expect me to cover the opening
bell of the New York Stock Exchange, but today the
Stock Exchange is closed. There is no bell, no market.
But we still have a treat for you instead. If
you watch Real America's Voice, then you already know our
next guest, Vinnie Matt, my guy. He's one of the
guys who are often part of the fun with the
guys that are live from Studio six B nightly, because

(01:07:25):
being dead from Studio six B would be no fun.
He's joining us right now, Vinny Van, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (01:07:32):
Brother?

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Good morning?

Speaker 6 (01:07:33):
Yeah, I love that intro. Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
And do I have it right? Manhattan? Isn't that how
the Upper east Side crowd of the Manhattan folks call it.
They don't call it Manhattan. It's Manhattan from Manhattan.

Speaker 6 (01:07:44):
You gotta say that with a little movement though Manhattan. Yeah, Okay,
I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
See, I'm gonna have to practice.

Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
I got it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
By the end of the show. I'll have it all right.
Let's talk about it. Let's get to brass tacks here.
Talk about why Independence Day is going to be a
little bit different for you.

Speaker 6 (01:08:00):
This this is frankly a very different Independence Day the
last four years. Yeah, barbecues, fireworks, things are, you know,
same as they always are. But we got our country back,
you know, we got back to you know, real equality,
law and order, faith values in general. The American dream.
So I feel like what Trump has done with not

(01:08:20):
just himself his administration, the entire Maga movement is we
got back to our roots kind of what this country
is all about. So it's sort of a real Independence Day.
It feels like that almost from that movie where you
kind of get some chills because you see, you know,
the great leadership that Trump's been providing since he got
in office and bringing back those values. So for me,

(01:08:40):
it's that it's it's more of getting back to what
Independence Day really meant and it really is about, rather
than what we've had to live with, you know, for
for some time.

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
Then you live in a blue state, but your warehouse
is firmly in deep red Suffolk County. How is the
pro Trump contingent on a Long Island putting up being
surrounded by a city of blue liberals and Manhattan elites.

Speaker 6 (01:09:05):
Oh boy, it is. It is a real challenge. You
should see my Facebook feed. I mean talk about battles.
It's a daily, daily thing. But Long Island is very
red in one of the major counties, which is Suffolk County.
And then you know, as you mentioned, a large part
of it is blue. So we have a very loyal
and very very loud voice from a MAGA standpoint and

(01:09:27):
just also from a conservative standpoint. And we shoot our
show in the America First Warehouse. This place is literally
a shrine to the movement and to America's values. So
we get people coming Friday night for our live show,
thirty forty fifty sixty people. We had four and fifty
one time. You know, people come out, they see our show,
but they also are very loud in celebrating MAGA and

(01:09:50):
Trump and the conservative movement in general.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
Hey, Finny Mack, it's a David Brody here. So what's
been the most memorable Trump moment for you?

Speaker 5 (01:09:57):
I mean there's been so many. I mean I think
it one Ski in the Oval Office. That's a good one,
but there's so many.

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
What do you think.

Speaker 6 (01:10:05):
Well, for me, safety is always a big big thing.
I kind of look at everything and I'm like, if
we're safe and the economy is good, those are the
moments I look for. And when he came out immediately
might not State of the Union speech and just said,
you know, there's no problem with the legal side of
the border. You don't need legislation, you don't need these things.

(01:10:26):
You just needed a new president. For me, that set
the platform and the standard for everything he's going to
be doing going forward. And you know, it happens to
be one hundred percent right. And I just feel like
we went from Biden and then suddenly Trump shows up
and says that and just puts it right down there
in brass tacks. Here's what it is. You got a
new president. Things are going to change. That's that was

(01:10:48):
my moment.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Yep, Hey, Vinny, I'm curious, and maybe I'm going into
this a little misguided, but it seems to me that
New York gives you a unique perspective, if you will,
on where the country is going right now, particularly you
know the influence that mag is having. And I asked
that question because New York is notoriously blue, and it

(01:11:12):
sounds like to me from the folks that I'm talking to,
that people are starting to come to their senses in
New York. What are you seeing since you're on the
ground there, are you seeing more people adopting Maggot principles
or at least being more open to what Maga has
to say there in New York?

Speaker 6 (01:11:26):
Yeah, I'm definitely seeing it. And I think the Israeli
situation and the Jewish community in particular, you know, they
are really upset, and Trump, as we've seen, is doing
everything you can to protect you know, our number one
ally and our interests there. So overall, we still have
a hardcore liberal aspect. I know, a little while back,

(01:11:47):
there's this the Democrats that's nominated a crazy, crazy progressive mayor.
So that's a little scary that someone like that can
actually get votes, any votes. But aside from that, I
have seen very good movement and I've seen it in
that area, and the economy is quite good. It's just
we're getting taxed to death, and people are really starting
to recognize that frustration. I think California has a lot

(01:12:09):
to do with that because they seeing what's happens in
California tax wise and benefits wise for legals and all
of that, and they're really starting to pay a little
more attention. So I do see a change. I see
a change everywhere I travel. I'm all over the country,
and I see a lot of change in California. Frankly,
a lot from people that I would never expect that
would feel that way.

Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
You have plants tonight, Vinnie, what's going on? You're gonna
are responding on the couch watch on Netflix.

Speaker 9 (01:12:35):
Or what are you?

Speaker 6 (01:12:35):
What are you doing exactly while I'm down here in
West Palm and look at at the studio here. So
I if there's no standstone crab clause, that would be
my number one priority is to find somewhere to go
to Joe's. But now I'm flying back tonight. I got
to do the show tomorrow, so I've had a good
few days down here. You know what, it's it's so
beautiful down here. I know you guys get down to
West Palm often, but it's it's it's a beautiful place.

(01:12:57):
So that's it. No real plans. I'm pretty about your homebody.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
I'm going to hope since you go ahead, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
I was just gonna say, since you like crab, I'm
going to invite you to David Brodie's house. He's in
suburban He's in Maryland, which, as you guys know, has
the best crab in the world.

Speaker 6 (01:13:13):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
Yes, I'm a little partial, So David, I'm sorry, but
I'm going to go on and invite him to your house.
You take care of the crabs, make sure you get
a big old bushel, put out some some some newspaper
on the table and we can just go for it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
I will do that, sadly. I hate crab but that's
all right, David Vinny no Vinnie'll set you up a
table for one if you don't mind.

Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
I'll tell you what you need to do. You need
to go to Benny's on the Beach here in Palm Beach,
and you need to have their conk fritters. Oh that's
that's what. That's what Palm Beach is known for, our conkfortters.
I didn't even know what that was. I don't think
when I moved here initially, but I've learned and very good,
very very crabby esque, krabby esh crab esque.

Speaker 6 (01:14:00):
There's nothing like those stone crabs down here. They're magical.
But I will tell you I've been to O. Brickey's
in uh In in Baltimore, spent a lot of time there,
so I love those crabs. I love crab cakes. I
got to be authentic.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
House right now, Leftover's video. I'll fix you up.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
Oh gosh, hey guys, really quickly. I've just been thinking,
and I can't say that I really have any memories
of celebrating Independence Day as a kid. For me, more
my memories are as an adult. Now, do you guys
have childhood memories? Like anything that really just kind of
resonates as a relations.

Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
I have a great one. So so, a couple of
weeks ago, back to Missouri to an eightieth birthday party
for a good friend aunt a good friend actually sister
of my mother adopted his sister, but that's a long story. Anyway,
her daughter and I were talking about when we were children,
and I remember that my dad had bought me. Remember
the parachutes that you shot off and the parachute went there. Well,

(01:15:17):
I was still mad at Beth. I didn't want to
say how many years, how many decades this is later,
because she went and took my pink parachute guy that
my dad had bought me, and I could never forget that.
I wanted that pink par You remember the guy parachutes
out You would go find them out in the woods.
How fun was that? I don't know whatever happened to those?
Do they still make those?

Speaker 6 (01:15:36):
Vinnie, You've got to know I had them. I know
exactly what you're talking about. It was that, And and
like those little race cars that Mattel used to make though.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
Oh my gosh, yeah, you could shoot those out of
the firewood. Do they still make those?

Speaker 6 (01:15:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Man, we're role actors, roll old.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
I think we just aged ourselves. I'm gonna go find.

Speaker 4 (01:15:57):
I still like going to go find in this for
what it's worth, me and my kids blowing stuff up.
I like just the little snakes and the sparklers. It
makes me so happy. I don't know why we have
to have explosions in a backyard, But Vinny.

Speaker 6 (01:16:09):
A lot of smoke with those things, I believe, right,
they've been around and you get smoked.

Speaker 4 (01:16:13):
Oh in the smoke bombs. I love the way they smell.

Speaker 6 (01:16:15):
Yeah, yeah, we see, we had a great childhood back then.
Nobody worried about this stuff, right, everybody's freaked out about
everything now. I love those days.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
Yeah, who cares about zoning ordinances.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
Exactly what the heck with them? Right? Hey, Vinnie Mack,
we appreciate you being here, brother, Safe travels back home,
by the way.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
Say hi to the guys on the studio six B.
We want to say hi to all them.

Speaker 6 (01:16:38):
Yeah, thanks a lot. I appreciate being on here and
a happy Independence Day and taking America back day.

Speaker 4 (01:16:42):
Yes, thank you, there.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
You go, amen, my brother, Thanks so much. All right, folks,
we're going to be back with more of this special
Independence Day edition of American Sunrise in just a moment.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
Stick around, all right, welcome back to American son Rise.

(01:17:14):
I'm back to g Thanks for joining us this morning.
We invite you to hop on in our good get
our converse. Why do you do that every time? Conversation
on getter and rumble there in the chat we have
a good time. We talk about a lot of foods.
So if you haven't got enough food talk today, there
you go. You know where to go. Now it's time
to take the political pulse of America the beat today
the rest Muslin reports daily presidential tracking poll for Now

(01:17:38):
shows that fifty two percent of likely US voters approve
of President Trump's job performance. Forty seven percent disapproved. The
latest figures include thirty six percent who strongly approve of
the job he is doing and thirty nine percent who
strongly disapproved, So just about balance all the way across
the board. Turning back to the Independence Day holiday and
joining us now to weigh on his version of the

(01:18:00):
of July fun is Joe Bob t'alaffi. He is the
host of Turning Point tonight here on RAV Welcome back
to American Sunrise. Do you what do you think about
these polling numbers? Do you think they'll hold a little
bit longer, What do you think they'll be like next
time that poll is taking, And most importantly, what will

(01:18:21):
you be eating on your holiday weekend? Because that seems
to be the topic that we go back to every time.

Speaker 19 (01:18:26):
Noway, that's a big loaded question as far as the
polling goes. You know what I always think is fascinating
about national polling, especially in the approval of the president,
especially a conservative president. It is amazing that conservatives win anything,
considering how much the media continues to batter, especially President Trump.

(01:18:47):
So when you see positive polls come out that President
Trump's approval rating is high or very high, I take
that as Okay, it's probably even higher than that, assuming
don't take in the garbage broadcast networks and cable news
and all of your mainstream media outlets. If those weren't
there just blatantly lying to people, I would imagine the

(01:19:10):
approval rate would be substantially higher than it already is.
So with high approval rating for President Trump, I would
say I take that as a huge win over.

Speaker 9 (01:19:20):
The American people.

Speaker 5 (01:19:21):
Do I think it'll hold.

Speaker 19 (01:19:22):
I can't see anything in the near future that's going
to make them go away. I can only see things
continuing to go positively. So all things good signs, especially
given the media culture and the climate and how much
they've come after President Trump. I think that number is
probably higher if you were to ask Americans, Sands the

(01:19:44):
lib media.

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
So let's talk about substance. Over these last one hundred
and sixty six days or so, what do you think
President Trump's biggest accomplishments have been? And then I'm just
going to add on to the story give them a
grade so far?

Speaker 19 (01:20:00):
You know, policy wise, it's honestly tough to say. I'm
a huge proponent of getting all the illegals out of
the country. Obviously, he's working. It's hard to do that
from zoom out thirty thousand feet. Right outside of the
specific policy stuff, I think the biggest accomplishment is the
tenacity that he's showing the American people. And I know

(01:20:22):
that's not really tangible and it's not quantifiable, but you
can see it and you can feel it the other day,
I don't know, last week when President Trump was walking
out to the helicopter, just just lambastard CNN.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
I think that's great.

Speaker 19 (01:20:36):
And again you can't quantify that. You can't put the
tangible number on that. There's no ratings for it, there's
really no polling, but that feeling, that feeling inside of
Americans that go, you know what, Yeah, we're being lied to,
you know what, and we're gonna take this country back.
And I think that is my biggest positive. Again, you
can look at all the policy stuff. You can look

(01:20:56):
at those, you can look at the cuts to the waste,
fraud and abuse, you can look at immigration, you can
look at law enforcement getting revitalized. But but if I
were to take a step back and and kind of
look at it as a whole picture, my biggest thing
that I think President Trump is accomplished so greatly, is
instilling that American spirit that I think has been wavering

(01:21:17):
among Americans just in the last while for a long
time now. And and isn't it fitting on the fourth
of July that that I feel like that that is,
in my opinion, the greatest accomplishment. Again, not tangible and
not quantifiable, but that's that's how I feel the president
is really instilling American values in Americans.

Speaker 9 (01:21:35):
Again.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
Yeah, and also authenticity, you know, the authenticity is just
just amazing. And and what I love about Trump is
that I don't care if you put him in one venue,
you put him in a different venue, He's gonna he's
gonna say the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
And you know, you put him in an inner city,
an impoverished inner city, and then you come out and say,
what the hell do you have to lose? You might
as well go with me, remember that from the first campaign.
I mean, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Also, by
the way, if this President of the United States thing
doesn't work out, he's got to be the best comedian
that we've seen in a very long time. I mean,
this his comedic humor, I mean, it's just on point

(01:22:15):
and it's just perfect Joba.

Speaker 19 (01:22:18):
Yeah, so I do stand up. That's a kind of
the second job, if you will. It was always funny
to me watching President Trump on the campaign trail, because
he would do lots of speaking events, and to your point,
he is a funny guy, and as a guy who
kind of understands working through the process of nailing a joke,
you would kind of see that in real time as

(01:22:40):
he give these speeches all over the country. Okay, this
this joke didn't really land here. Let me try and
retool it and try it somewhere else. And okay, I
figured out the wording here and okay, big laugh. And
it's funny because I'm not even sure he's doing that
that intentionally. It's just kind of happening in nately. And
so yeah, the the entertainer and comedian that the President is,

(01:23:03):
I personally get a lot of joy out of it.
And you know, I don't know if this makes me
a good or bad person. I also get a lot
of joy out of the libs just so mad about
the jokes that he makes too. Again, maybe that makes
me a bad person, but I do delight. It'll just
a little bit, all.

Speaker 1 (01:23:22):
Right, Joe Bob before we let you go, and I
think you kind of set the stage. So it brings
to mind this question, what do you see setting President
Trump apart from any other modern day president? What makes
him so unique? And he kind of touched on it,
but let's dive a little deeper.

Speaker 19 (01:23:37):
You know, one of my presidential heroes growing up, and
again I wasn't around for the actual policy, but Ronald Reagan,
in the way he communicated to the American people, I
think was a I remember seeing a video of him,
I think debating Walter Mondale where they question Reagan's age
and he said, yeah, I'm not going to let youth

(01:23:57):
and inexperience of my candidates hammer this or I'm not
gonna get the joke.

Speaker 9 (01:24:02):
Hright, go look it up.

Speaker 19 (01:24:03):
But for me, it's always been the way presidents have
communicated to the American people. Literally, nobody has done it
better than President Trump. It's always about what the people
are understanding coming out of the White House. He obviously
has surrogates and he goes to the Press Secretary, but
he talks directly to the American people and that is

(01:24:23):
not something that we've seen really at all in the
recent presidential past.

Speaker 5 (01:24:29):
I mentioned Reagan most more.

Speaker 19 (01:24:30):
Of a the guy could communicate to the American people,
and that's exactly what I think Trump thrives at.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
The policy stuff.

Speaker 19 (01:24:38):
I mean, just your average American is on his side
on pretty much everything from what he wants to do
policy wise, but the way that he's able to articulate
that to the American people, not in this high falutint
just Hoidy Tody DC way that you so often see
presidential candidates and consultants talk. But he talks to everyday

(01:24:58):
people better than I think any and I think that's
what sets him apart, especially in the last you know,
twenty years of presidents of the US.

Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
You know, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:25:08):
You mentioned that you're a comedian. I have to believe
that part of the reason you love doing comedy is
because it's such a uniting force. I mean, you sit
in an audience and you're laughing, and it doesn't have
to be Republican or a Democrat. I'm so bothered today
by the lack of patriotism on the left side of

(01:25:29):
this country. I want them to be patriots. I don't
mind if they disagree with me on some issues, but
I want them to love God and country, and they
used to love God and country, and they used to
be for the little guy, and they used to have
some values that were at least ideals, you know, right,
They weren't just for purpose of profit and power, which

(01:25:52):
is what all that seems the Democrats are about these days,
and and sort of degradation and evil frankly going ahead
and actually voting God out of their own platform. So
I guess for me, I wonder what you think can
heal that? Because I'm surprised by the latest polling numbers
that we discussed in a former block that only basically

(01:26:15):
forty seven percent of people approve of the job Donald
Trump is doing. And I can't see what he's doing wrong.

Speaker 9 (01:26:19):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
I think he'll make he'll do some things that'll be controversial,
and maybe those numbers will change at some point. But
right now, it just seems like we should be at
a patriotic all time high and we should be united
on things, whether Donald Trump notwithstanding, just on the things
America is doing, and we're not. What do you see
as the caveat there? I'm sure you're not going to
say comedy, but is it teaching history? Is it education?

(01:26:41):
Is administering to certain communities. What are we doing wrong
that half our country even believes in God and country?

Speaker 19 (01:26:51):
Well, there's so many different layers to this, and we
probably do a three hour podcast on this, but I think, briefly,
to bring it back to comedy, things that are fun
in your everyday life or in a stand up comedy
show are things that are true. There's a saying by
the premise, by the bit, in other words, if it's
relatable to you, it's going to be funny. And what

(01:27:11):
that really is, if you get down to the nuts
and bolts of it, is that truth is funny and
truth is uniting. Unfortunately, like you said, we've got half
of the country batting their heads against the wall, against
the brick wall of truth. Eventually they're going to swing
back around because you can try to alter the way
you do things. You can try to say that human

(01:27:35):
nature is not what it is. But at the end
of the day, human nature doesn't change. Truth doesn't change.
Reality doesn't change. And you've got an entire side of
the aisle that is so steeped in this. Honestly, it's
their pride. I think that is disabling them from coming
around to seeing reality. What I think we do about it.

(01:27:56):
And you know this is again my own personal take.
You have to show people why something is true, why
something is real, why something is valid. And I think comedy,
but the arts in general oftentimes is a thing that's
neglected amongst conservatives because conservatives, our facts don't care about
your feelings.

Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
And that is one hundred percent true.

Speaker 19 (01:28:17):
And there also are other ways.

Speaker 9 (01:28:19):
To reach people.

Speaker 19 (01:28:20):
And I think if we continue to push in that
comedic vein, that artistic vein to represent things they're true
and beautiful, we will eventually start to changing hearts and minds.
Maybe not necessarily entirely just through the logical arguments, which
we also have, but through the representation and the presentation
of truth in the world that we exist in.

Speaker 4 (01:28:41):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
Maybe since there's a little made up.

Speaker 4 (01:28:45):
Going on show, Bob, maybe that freedom of speech will
facilitate a way for that to happen. Anyway, thank you
for your perspective. We appreciate you. God bless you.

Speaker 1 (01:28:55):
Happy Independence Day, Thank you too.

Speaker 4 (01:28:58):
All Right, the show turning point to night here on wrap,

your first order. All right, let's get right into what's
in the cup this morning, and we're talking about Independence
Day and the strong ties that our nation's celebration of
independence has to tea. The Boston Tea Party, of course,
was a pivotal event leading up to the American Revolution

(01:30:14):
and the eventual fight and victory allowing the colonies to
declare their independence from British rule. An issue, among other things,
was taxation without representation, as colonists argued that they were
being taxed by the British government without having a voice
in the policies that affected them. Nearly two hundred and
fifty years later, taxation remains a challenge in this country

(01:30:37):
as the Trump administration continues taking steps to cut the
size and scope of the Internal Revenue Service. There have,
of course, even been talks recently of abolishing the service
itself and instead funding the country and federal agencies with income,
potentially even from tariffs. So we'd love to hear what
you think about all of this. Let us know. On
getting on rumble, it's your chance to join us for

(01:30:59):
the conversation and on this Independence Day, hop on that
your voice to be heard. All Right, folks, we're back
with more of this special Independence Day edition of American
Sunrise in just a moment, all right, welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
Back to American Son. I signed back to g Thanks
so much for joining us today. It is time now
for our Sunday side up and in the pan today
July fourth plans. Guys. I want to know what you're
doing once we finish the show, and I'm going to
challenge you, David, besides eating, yes is the new year
to say?

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
Besides no? There really isn't anything else, But I promise
I won't mention food. I promise I won't mention food.
I'm gonna be with the in laws. We typically go
over our in laws where they come over here, and
then we light fireworks and the police are called. No,
the police are never called. But we like fireworks and
that's a lot of fun. And then sometimes and I
think tonight we will actually go to some sort of

(01:31:58):
local fireworks show.

Speaker 5 (01:32:00):
It's actually a very good show.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
But the key to a local fireworks show is make
sure you don't get buried in the parking lot. And
I don't mean physically buried, I just mean your car.
Make sure you've got an easy escape route at the end.
Otherwise it's forty five minutes in the parking lot and
everybody's trying to get out, and then I'm getting frustrated,
and then I can't wait till July fifth.

Speaker 5 (01:32:22):
As a matter of fact, at that point, I.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
Might be in the car on July fifth if it's
really that bad. So you know those are my plans.
What about you.

Speaker 4 (01:32:30):
You know you've got to come over to our house, David,
because we don't go to any fireworks shows. And the
reason is because we have one in our backyard, because
we live right on the water and so the fireworks
shows will be all up and down the water, and
so we just sit out there in our little adirondeck chairs.
I always light a camp fire, which my family thinks
is psychotic because it is, after all, summer in July

(01:32:51):
in South Florida. But I do it for the ambiance.
I just like it. And then we'll sit around and
we have some friends that just grew and slaughtered their
own hog, and so they're going to bring some of
that over to the house. And as I said before, Terrence,
my kids will go off the end of our dock
and blow things up. My kids and my big kid,

(01:33:12):
my husband who acts like a sixth grader on Fourth
of July and gets that license because he's the man
of the house. He can do it if he wants. Terrence,
how about you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:22):
I'm going to be similar, David. We'll probably go to
a local park and watch the fireworks. But before I
even go into my plans, so doctor Gina, what I'm
hearing is that you're going to be living high off
the hog tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
Hi on the Hog, Hi on the Hog.

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):
Yeah, I've been waiting on I got that and I
was like, oh, this is an opportunity. To use that
saying hi on the hog. Yeah, we're going to go
to a local a local park, watch the fireworks. And
I really enjoy that, and unfortunately comes back to food.
You know, I just like being around the people, hanging
out and chit chatting, getting to meet your neighbors, even
if they're not necessarily in your neighborhood. But typically here

(01:33:55):
there are also food trucks on site. So even after
I've been gluttonous and eating at home, I tend to
go to the food trugs and drive the food that
I normally might not. So my new food for me,
I enjoyed that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
I knew food would come up.

Speaker 4 (01:34:09):
Yeah it had, it had to. See here's a little secret.

Speaker 5 (01:34:13):
Yeah go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:34:15):
Here everyone leaves for the summer and they go other places.
And it's so great because you really have no neighbors,
and so it's just you in this neighborhood kind of
all by yourselves and your own family, and so there's
no dogs to bark at your fireworks. There's nobody to
bother you, and and that's it is kind of it's
just nice and quiet. It takes me about seven minutes

(01:34:36):
to get to work instead of about twenty five minutes
to get to work. It's just it's nice. Terrence's nice.

Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
I get that. I get that. Well, when your neighbors leave,
give me their addresses and I'm going to come squat.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
I love it. By the way, I have a quick
childhood memory, and it's not really well it's about my childhood,
but it's really about my father. To take twenty seconds
or so. He was a square dance caller. I kid
you not. He was a square dance caller.

Speaker 4 (01:35:04):
Oh my gosh, David Brodie, your family just gets more
fascinating by.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
The you never know the trivia I'm gonna throw out anyhow.
On July fourth, you would always wear Oh, I can
just visually picture it now. I'm closing my eyes. The red,
white and blue how do I say this jumpsuit? Like
an evil Knievel jumpsuit? I kid you not right.

Speaker 1 (01:35:25):
And he was doing.

Speaker 5 (01:35:26):
That whole thing.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
And then my stepmother was wearing like the red, white
and blue frilly you know dress, And honestly, I was
wholly embarrassed. I was twelve or thirteen years old, and
I didn't want to be seen within point seventy five
miles of either one of them. But anyhow, I love

(01:35:47):
my dad.

Speaker 5 (01:35:48):
He's great, but.

Speaker 2 (01:35:50):
That's my memory, my.

Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
Memory, you know, squirredance. He gets me to come back.
Are there a lot of Jewish square dance colors?

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
I just no, I don't think so. Same like, same
thing with Jewish Hall of Fame players and sports. I
think there's like zero.

Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
But no, I don't think that's some trivia we all
needed today. Well, whatever you.

Speaker 1 (01:36:08):
Need, you can. Evil jumpsuit still a thing like do
you still own the jumpsuit? I'm sorry, David, but I
see you running around on Independence Day and jumpsuit.

Speaker 4 (01:36:17):
Yeah, that's when I see too. Yes, I thought you
were going with us.

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
I have it in my closet.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
No, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:36:24):
Well, you guys, to you and to our audience, no
matter what you're doing to celebrate our Independence Day, have
a wonderful, blessed and safe one.

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
