The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime chokepoint through which approximately 20% of the world's oil supply passes, making it strategically vital for global energy markets. Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated, with Iran attacking three US Navy ships in the strait and the US responding with retaliatory strikes on Iranian military facilities. President Trump described the situation as a 'trifle' and maintained that a ceasefire was still in effect despite ongoing military engagements. The situation involves complex diplomatic negotiations, with Iran seeking sanctions relief and the US demanding nuclear disarmament as conditions for any agreement.

We will achieve American greatness and we are just Ahead on American Sunrise, US forces target Iranian military sites after attacks in the Straight of Hormuz. Is this a limited response or the start of a wider conflict yet again? Plus, sexual misconduct claims are putting Capitol Hill under new scrutiny. More lawmakers coming under fire. So, what's being done to clean up Congress?
And later, for the first time in decades, America's churches are seeing signs of growth, higher attendance, more volunteers. What's behind the shift?
Those stories and more as American Sunrise starts on a puppy Friday, Freedom Friday. It's a Friday and we're going right now.
>> Good morning, America.
>> Welcome to American Sunrise.
Whether it's culture, >> we have breaking news to share with you.
>> Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.
>> The American dream is still alive.
>> I'm David Brody. I'm Terrence.
>> And I'm Dr. Gina.
>> All right. Good morning everybody. I am Dr. Gina. It is puppy and freedom Friday. We are so glad to be with you.
We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. But let's bring in David Brody because he's in Washington DC and Terrence Bates is in our Denver newsroom. Good morning gentlemen, >> lady and gentlemen. Good morning David.
I'm laughing to myself about your tease there about higher volunteerism at church. I think I'm the only person in church history that's been fired as an usher. Instead of getting people to their seats, I actually was talking to everybody. I'm I'm I'm having conversations and talking and not getting people to their seats. It was a mess. It was a mess. They They didn't say the words. I'm I'm pretty sure I got fired. They didn't say the words fired.
They >> They were just like, "You know what? We think your your skills are are better suited elsewhere cuz I'm I was talking to people and you know there's lines backing up. I'm like, "How you doing?
How's life out there in your aisle? You get to put your little stuff in your little box that's in your aisle and they're gonna carry it out for Oh, Terrence, that's the saddest thing ever.
>> Was not pretty.
>> You got some talents, but Usherin is not one of them. Is that basically >> Apparently not. That's pretty much what it was, guys. It was pretty funny. I was just like, "Oh, I feel some kind of way about this." But, you know, I met a lot of people and had a great time. So, I Anyway, I just wanted to share that when you read that tease, that's what I thought of. I was like, "Yeah, I'm probably the only person in history that got fired from being an usher." All right, guys. Let's get to some of the big stories of the day. President Trump saying the ceasefire with Iran is still holding. Uh 47's remarks coming amid new strikes last night. Iran targeted three US Navy ships and then the United States retaliated. Here's how the president responded to questions about this ceasefire.
>> After the strike, is the ceasefire with Iran still on?
>> Yeah, it is. You said they trifled with us today. We blew them away. They trifled. I call that a trifle. I'll let you know when there's no cease. You won't have to know. If there's no ceasefire, you're not going to have to know. You're just going to have to look at one big blow coming out of Iran. And they better sign their agreement fast.
>> Uh so here's my big question this morning, and I'm kind of struggling with this honestly. Uh when we talk about ceasefire, are we talking semantics? Oh, technically there's no ceasefire because I still see American ships being attacked and us attacking back. In my mind, as a literalist, that's not a ceasefire, David.
>> Well, that's where I was going this morning, too. I thought ceasefire meant Wait for it. Wait for it. I thought ceasefire meant ceasefire.
So, I I'm a little confused as to why the fire hasn't ceased and we're still in a ceasefire. I give up. uh other than the fact that I think this administration is desperate, desperate, I say, to get a deal with Iran because they don't want anymore, they don't want gas prices going up anymore. They want to get out of this thing. Uh the midterms are coming and they need this to be over. That's my sense of it as to why this trifle stuff, by the way, I love Trump's words, trifle, right?
Kurfuffle, whatever you want to call it.
I love these words, Gina. Anyhow, please to you.
Okay. So, this this might >> there's so much Dr. Gina, >> it's Friday. Uh this really might put me in your position as an usher in your church, Terrence, right now to say this, but >> I've stopped paying attention because one day we have a ceasefire, the next day we don't, then we have a ceasefire, but they're firing at us, but it's not a ceasefire because we're not calling it a ceasefire. And the next day it's not a war, it's a mishap. I I mean, I don't know. Honestly, I I know it's not uh my job as someone in the news business to go, but that's kind of what I've done.
I've kind of just gone I I I just whatever. Like, let's just I'll wait and get the report when there's like substance behind it because until >> No one's firing, David. I just I don't think we have a ceasefire. I don't know.
>> I'm with you.
>> Okay, we're all on the same page. I think this may be a first. I I'm continuing to make history. They got fired as an usher and now we're all on the same page. A lot of firsts this morning.
>> A lot of firsts this morning. All right, let's get to today's Bible verse if we could. John 16:33. These things I have spoken to you that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. This one, you guys, here's what you do. Take out a little piece of paper. You write it down on the little piece of paper. Not in your phone. Not in your phone. on a little piece of paper. You write this down. If you get a chance to laminate it, do that. If not, just keep it in your purse for those days that are bad and you can go, "He has overcome the word world. I can be of good cheer."
Let's bring in, speaking of someone who's always in good cheer, except when he is cheering for the wrong baseball team in Missouri. That is Missouri Congressman Mark Alfred. Congressman, go-karts. How likely do you see a deal coming? And does cease fire mean ceasing fire or not?
>> Look guys, this is President Donald J.
Trump.
>> He is not exactly a literal president.
We have known this from his first term.
That's why the media pulled their hair out and they go, "Wait a minute, that does." Look, >> there are a lot of players involved in this right now. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or Pakistan, I hate saying Pakistan.
Pakistan, uh, uh, UAE, there are a lot of players involved. That's why he pulled off this escort, uh, of of the ships through the straight of Hormuz. Uh, Saudi and UAE were putting pressure on to end that.
Um, this is going to end. Mark my words, we will not leave there before we get the nuclearenriched material and the straight of Hormuz is open for free trade, international trade. Those are the two criteria now that we have left and that's what the president is trying to accomplish. We have h high gas prices. It's hurting our farmers here in Missouri. I've been out in the district all week long talking with farmers, small business owners. They understand when I talk with them, they understand that Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon, but they're also hurting at the pump and hurting in other places economically.
We've got to get this done. We've got to win the midterms. Uh the Supreme Court did us a favor last week with their ruling on Cala from Louisiana, which is going to do away with racially gerrymandered district. We may pick up 10, 12, maybe 14 seats when it's all said and done. But the American people are growing weary of this. Uh my good friend Tom Barrett, a congressman from Michigan, uh is ready to file an authorization of use of military force, a Republican, when we get back to Congress. And so the pressure is building on the White House to find an exit ramp where it is a clear victory as well. Congressman, uh, speaking about getting back to Congress, this is the Pope Pereirie section of the show where you get to choose the dysfunction topic that you'd like to talk about.
>> So, please, uh, once again, we all have dinner plans. So, you know, if you can be relatively quick, but let us know what do you want to talk about today.
>> Look, we we, you know, we've got uh we still have the reconciliation two package that's coming our way. We passed the budget resolution to lobby it back over to the Senate. Uh we've got to fully fund um immigration, custom enforcement, and border patrol. We we will be doing that. We're looking at a third reconciliation package now which will include healthc care, housing, and accountability.
U and I think we're all, you know, we're also dealing with the FISA issue. We have a 45day extension on that. How do we get that done? There's some talk now that we're just going to keep reauthorizing that on 45day cycles until the midterms because we don't have the uh fortitude or the tmerity to to fix these issues. That's got to go. By the way, this has to go through uh judicial and oversight the right way. We've got to get this worked out. The Freedom Caucus wants warrants and others like Jim Jordan, who used to be in the Freedom Caucus, are saying, "We don't need warrants. We have these 50 some odd reforms that we passed a couple of years ago. The my biggest frustration, guys, in the three years that I've been there, we wait till the last minute to do everything, hoping the pressure is going to build that is going to force people to vote a certain way. I would like to see us get away from that. Let's start working on things now that we know are out in the future and and figure out back time those to see where what we need to be doing now to make sure we're not up against the clock. And that includes funding our government for 2027. Tom Cole, the chair of appropriations, is a master of this. We have four bills of the 12 bills for 2027 already passed out of committee and we're doing yman's work when we get back. We're going to be working Fridays to make sure that we get these through committee and hopefully get those on the House floor so we don't have another Democrat shutdown or another continuing resolution. How's that for your poperri?
>> Perfect. Thank you.
>> Smells good in here. Poperri. I like that. Uh, Congressman, so look, I'm going to take a little bit of a left turn since you laid out so many issues that you and your colleagues are going to be dealing with. Uh, see, and this is part of the problem of us talking the break. you kind of get my mind going.
Can we talk UFOs a little bit? Uh the president has said that he's going to I'm sorry I'm going there because it is something of interest to me. Uh the president has said that at some point in time he is going to release a report on UFOs. Uh is this of interest to you?
Have you heard anything? Uh what what do you know? Let's talk about it because I think there are Americans who believe there is extraterrestrial life out there and we want to know. Uh, how expansive do you think any report the president is going to release will ultimately be?
>> I think it's going to start coming out this morning. I've heard about uh maybe 8:00 Eastern time, which is in less than an hour now. This is going to start dribbling out. I think it's about time.
I think the American people are ready to know what's out there. I have not gone into these skiffs, these secret compartmentalized uh uh areas where we learn members of Congress do about what's out there uh to the degree that we can. Um but we are we're not alone.
Uh what are what is out there though?
And I I I want to make sure from a national defense perspective, I'm not on the Armed Services Committee any longer, but I am an appropriations and and we deal with funding our government when it comes to national defense and we have to be ready. We need to know what's out there uh in order to prepare for that in case our our national defense is or has been uh jeopardized from whatever is out there. So, I think the American people can handle it. There's a lot of weird stuff right now on the internet about all these pastors that were contacted by the government uh and told to prepare their churches for the worst possible outcome. Uh I'm not buying into that. I knew I do know that the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is in charge and uh I'm not worried. I'm not anxious and we're going to get through this whatever the information is. Hey guys, just to be clear that I just >> I just saw Terrence, I can answer that question. Yeah, the I'm looking here.
The president has just released last in the last minute or two the first batch of files, the the quote UFO files, if you will, a massive trove of quote alien life files. The first time in American history any administration has done so.
So, we'll sift through that through the next two hours. Big deal. Big deal here.
>> How come on a Friday? Why on a Friday?
That's usually the day they release stuff they don't really want us to talk about.
>> Friday don't. There you go. Gina, >> we're gonna talk about this. So, >> I don't know. At least we're not talking about the Epstein files.
>> Oh, I'd like to talk more about that.
>> You just opened up a whole another can over in this segment. Hold on. By the way, Howard Lenik testified behind closed doors last week. I'm very interested to hear what comes out of that testimony.
>> You and me both. You and me both.
Congressman, >> maybe they're all tied together. Maybe the aliens landed at Epstein Island. Who knows?
>> Yeah, right on Howard Lutnik. Okay, Congressman Alford, >> we have to get on with this show because it's just it's just going down a road involved.
>> But listen, you go cheer for those Cardinals this weekend and we'll talk soon. Thanks.
>> I got to go train. I've got I was asked by uh our pastor to be an usher in our church and I was going to get some insurance on that.
Learn from my mistakes. Congressman coming up with TB.
>> All right. So, I think that question worked out for us.
>> I have no glasses. And President Trump just released the alien files. Damn it, Jason.
>> We gota Let's uh we got to find it.
>> Hey T here. Good morning.
>> Hey, good morning.
>> But we should grab it. Do you have a link to it?
>> Okay. Hey, Tracy Tbates, can you hear me?
>> Yeah, I got you.
>> Tracy. Tracy. Okay, perfect. Thank Hey, that should probably be our one to watch. uh if we can't unpack it before then that I mean it's not my call but since it's new information and I think there's probably some public interest that may be our one to watch >> once again just if you go to X uh Fox News others are reporting it that they he actually just released it a minute ago >> I'd rather be lucky >> but I'm looking for the actual files I don't know where those files are H right. Gotcha.
I like this news breakak is brought to you by AAC, Association of Mature American Citizens.
Blue Mountain Lake, Nevada. Beautiful.
Absolutely gorgeous. Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. Once again, the UFO, alien files, whatever you want to call them, have been released by President Trump. That is the first batch uh coming your way soon.
We're going to sift through them as we find them here. Uh so hang tight on that. First, Otbate standing by with the latest headlines from the Real America's Voice Newsroom sponsored by AAC.
>> The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice for Americans 50 and older. AAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today. Together, we can write the course of America.
>> The Trump administration is still saying the ceasefire with Iran is in effect. On the other hand, Iran attacked three American Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz and the US retaliated with strikes on Iranian military facilities Thursday. Plus, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on the United Arab Emirates this morning. All of this happening as US and Iranian negotiators are at the bargaining table trying to work out a deal to end the two-monthlong war. While there's been no return to allout war, it's still not clear how close the two sides are to a deal that would at least stop all of the missile and drones from being fired. Iranian officials say they are examining the latest US proposal for ending the war.
>> Is the ceasefire with Iran still on?
>> Yeah, it is. It's They trifled with us today. We blew him away. They trifled. I call that a trifle. No, it's going. The talks are going very well, but they have to understand if it doesn't get signed, they're going to have a lot of pain.
They're going to have a lot of pain.
They want to sign it. I will tell you, they want to sign it.
In a separate interview, the president described this latest US attack as quote, "Just a love tap." That's what he said. Another court puts President Trump's tariff policies on ice. First, the Supreme Court deemed the Trump taxes on products imported to the US were unconstitutional. Now, the Court of International Trade says the Commander-in-Chief retoled 10 or the Commander-in-Chiefs retoled 10% across the board. Global tariffs are illegal.
The ruling is the result of a lawsuit brought by several small businesses. In a 2 to1 ruling, the three judge panel found that Mr. Trump overstepped the tariff power. Congress allows the president, saying the tariffs are invalid and unauthorized by law. The administration is expected to appeal the ruling, meaning the Supreme Court may end up ruling on the president's latest tariff policy yet again.
And May 8th marks the annual celebration of the end of World War II in Europe across France. It is a public holiday there, complete with major ceremonies in Paris. It was May 8th, 1945, which is now known as Victory Day, when the Allies declared victory over Nazi Germany and France was liberated.
Today's celebrations include solemn wreath laying ceremonies by French President Emanuel Marron at the Ark of the Triumph. There's also a commemoration at the French tomb of the unknown soldier. That's a quick check of your headlines. We'll have more headlines coming up in a little bit, but now let's get a quick check of your forecast. Weather Nation meteorologist Tracy Anthony standing by with more on what you can expect. I I'm hopeful that the entire country is getting warmer weather that it's going to start to feel a lot more like spring, even early summer.
>> You know, you're going to feel warmer weather. The Southwest will as well. The east right now still a little on the cooler side. I'll break down that in just a minute. Let's talk about this morning, though. We do have some stronger storms firing up between uh just north of Dallas all the way down through about Houston. So this Gulf Coast area is the area that we're really going to watch for strong to severe thunderstorms here over the weekend. So the next 3 days very important to stay weather aare and these areas hit pretty hard with severe weather this week. So look at that Saturday even into Sunday some of the same areas. So flooding will be a big concern. But areas like Brooks Haven, Mississippi, this was back on Wednesday after a tornado rolled through. This tornado being rated an EF3. It damaged 300 homes. So now they're going to be trying to clean up the pieces and dealing with rain on top of it. But we've also got a few other big weather headlines. Temperatures across the country though, not bad. But Terrence, this is what I was talking about. Look at this. Vegas, Phoenix, triple digits. And you're getting close to 70° today. That's kind of hard to believe after getting 4 to 6 in of snow just midweek.
>> Yes, Tracy. Yes. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. I'm loving it. All right, Tracy. Thanks so much. Have a great weekend.
>> Yeah. Don't forget to drop your hometown forecast, though, because I still have that coming up next hour.
All right. Uh, all right. Thanks so much, Tracy. Up next, US forces strike back after Iranian attacks in the straight of moves. Is this difference or is is this a difference or a deterrence, excuse me, or the beginning of a dangerous new front? We'll talk about it.
So, the these YouTube files are kind of wild. I'm looking at some of the photographs. One is called Flying Saucer.
Um, and I'm sending it to you guys now.
It's from 1964.
An actual Flying Saucer that the government Let me show you this. This is wild.
>> See, and I'm looking at this section now.
>> Go to photograph.
>> Hey.
>> Hey guys.
>> Okay.
>> Sorry, Rick. We're We're enthralled in the UFO release. Well, I am.
>> I sent you the flying saucer. I could tell. I could tell. You know, so Tulsi Gaver's team reached out to me right before well when they had gotten the order to put this stuff out to see if if I had anything I could add to it.
>> Do you um do No, there's nothing there.
>> There is not. Sorry. Sorry to disappoint everyone. There's no little green men.
There's no reptilians. No one's in a freezer at the basement of uh of CIA headquarters. Uh >> so you don't believe So you don't believe that there's extraterrestrial life or that uh UFOs have ever visited this country?
>> That there's that there's an intelligent life in this universe outside of ours.
Sure. I mean, I haven't seen any evidence of it, but I could certainly believe that. I mean, it's such a such a vast universe that Jupiter, Florida here on a Friday. By the way, uh we're all trying to go through these uh UFO alien files. You can see them uh at the National Archives. If you go to National Archives, you'll find them. You got to go into topics, and there they are, including pictures of flying saucers from 1964. We're going to show some of this later on. Welcome back, everybody uh to American Sunrise. All right, US forces have launched what the military called retaliatory strikes uh on Iranian military facilities. This comes after US officials said Iran fired missiles, drones, and small boat attacks at American Navy destroyers in the straight of Hormuz. US Central Command says no American ships were hit. President Trump warned Iran against further escalation as tensions continue to rise in the region. So, let's bring in the founder and CEO of Tower Strategy, Rick Delator.
Uh Rick, this is something that Gina Terrence and I talked at the top of the show about, which is uh what happened to the word ceasefire? because the fire is not ceasing. So can you explain this to us?
>> So look, I think what's happening right now is is not a stable ceasefire. It's a controlled contest over who dictates the the terms of the region after, you know, after all this fighting and and the center of gravity is still and will continue to be the straight of Hormuz.
Um uh Iran has effectively tried to turn the straight into a weapon uh and and and that's a weapon that obviously threatens uh shipping. it it's raising insurance costs. It's uh slowing down global energy flows and and creates just enough instability that the world pressure uh uh pressures the the the United States uh to to back off and to give them a little bit more breathing room.
>> So, real quick, advantage work when nobody challenged it directly.
>> Rick, that's advantage Iran.
>> I'm sorry.
>> That's advantage Iran. No doubt about it. They they've got us in in a pickle here.
>> Well, no. I I mean, look, I Iran responded exactly the way weak but dangerous regimes respond when leverage starts uh slipping. Uh but but notice what they're not doing. They're not escalating into full direct confrontation with sustained US naval power. And that matters because it tells you Iran understands the difference between disruption and survival. They can create friction and that's what you're seeing. They can create headlines, but they know a direct sustained fight with the United States risks complete, you know, regime level consequences.
Rick, isn't that regime level consequences, isn't that ultimately the goal? That's kind of what we want is that there is a new regime whether we install it or not. Um, so even these disruptions, you as you've caused them, called them, uh, it seems that they're working and that that we're kind of at a stalemate. That's how it looks at least from the outside from an untrained eye.
Well, look, I I I I think it means that we have to continue the pressure and and and okay, remember that's just on the, you know, on the military side, right?
There's there's uh diplomacy which is still stalled uh because Iran's proposals keep avoiding the central issue and that's their nuclear program.
So, you know, every proposal coming out of Tran focuses on easing pressure first. Uh give us sanctions release, uh reduce enforcement, and then and then we'll reopen things up for you. And the administration's not accepting that and strategically that's the correct approach because once you relieve pressure before the nuclear issue is addressed Iran goes right back to what it was doing uh uh in the past delay enrich destabilize. So the you know the the reality is the United States has to continue to use this one meaningful level and that is to choke out uh um you know uh Iran from having access to the greater markets.
Well, China is signaling that Taiwan will be a top concern ahead of next week's highstakes meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xinping um Xi Jinping. Beijing is warning the US to honor the one China principle. This is of course while tensions continue over American support and arms sales to Taiwan. So, uh what happens next? This doesn't uh make everything any less complicated, does it Rick? Well, let's let's keep in mind today uh also that today's China is not the same China it was uh even as the last time the president met with Chinese leadership, right? China depends heavily on Gulf energy flows. And that means Beijing has a direct interest in keeping the straight of Hermuz open even while trying to avoid becoming uh publicly aligned with uh with US military operations. Right? They're not going to go ahead and and fly next to us. But that's a balancing act. that's harder uh the longer this crisis continues. Um eventually China has to decide whether it actually supports freedom of navigation or whether it quietly, you know, wants to continue to tolerate Iran. And the administration knows this and that's why as you go into these talks, it's it's a it's a I I think it's going to be a very different kind of leverage. um the the one China issue or uh the Taiwan Strait, excuse me, the Taiwan's issue. I I think I think that's that's going to probably turn into more of yesterday's news in the sense of the world is starting to recognize that the one China policy um isn't isn't going to be sustainable in in a new world order.
You know, Taiwan has established itself.
Um it it is the a voice of democracy in in that part of the world. um they're not a third world power. They're certainly a powerhouse when it comes to electronics and semiconductor and and and they they've replaced China in trade. We do more trade now with with Taiwan than we do with China. So So those dynamics are are shifting.
>> Rick, love to have you on. We appreciate your insight. Have a great weekend.
Thanks so much.
>> Keep keep keep looking for the UFOs, guys. I'm sure you'll find it.
>> Oh, we'll find it some. We'll find it.
All right. Thanks again, >> Little Green Men.
None none none here in Florida today. I can tell you that.
>> Good to know. Good to know. Uh all right, let's change gears and talk Medicare. From UFO to Medicare, we do everything here. Because a lot of folks aren't getting the full story. Most Medicare agents push Medicare Advantage plans even when they're not right for you. Why is that? Well, that's because that's where the money is for them. But seniors are paying the price and that is what makes Chapter different. They're going to walk you through original Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage, UFO plans, all that stuff, and part D as well with the pros and the cons all laid out so you can make the right call for your health needs, even if you're an extra terrestrial. Donna, who I understand is not any sort of alien, said her chapter advisor walked her through every option and explained everything in a way she could actually understand. Plus, they saved her thousands of dollars. So, if you're on Medicare or will be soon, call 843 medhelp to learn about enrollment options and find ways to save. It's free, it's quick, they can review your options in under 20 minutes. Most people wish they had called sooner. All right, we have more American Sunrise after the break, everybody.

It is time now for today's health news sponsored by the Wellness Company Under the Microscope. Today, a new study raising health concerns for families living near gas stations. You've heard the warnings about living near golf courses, but now apparently you better not live near a gas station either. If you live between a golf course and a gas station, better better just put that house up for sale. I don't know. Researchers in Canada found an association between children living within 250 m of a gas station and a higher risk of developing leukemia with the risk increasing the closer they live to the site. The study focused on benzene exposure, a known carcinogen released during fuel storage and also refueling and also tank deliveries. Scientists say these findings could reignite debates over zoning air quality standards, whether homes, schools, and daycarees should be built farther away from gas stations.
The study also showed lower risks in areas with stricter vapor recovery rules designed to reduce those emissions.
Yeah. And I remember when my husband was in the Senate and they would always debate ethanol and the breathing issues related to ethanol and it makes me wonder how much of that plays a role in what we're listening to as well because I know it can cause a lot of breathing problems especially in people who are already for whatever reason compromised.
There is a groundbreaking new study that shows there's a safe and inexpensive potential cancer treatment. It's a drug you probably already know about ivormectin. This study shows that people who took ivormectin, this is the parasite fighting medication that we all learned about during COVID. Um, when you take that along with Menbendazol, you see remarkable results in battles with cancer. This incredibly promising result has many wondering where you can get US-made ivormectin menisol. That's where the wellness company comes in. You see and hear from their doctors all the time on this network. You know, their products are the gold standard for keeping you and your family safe and healthy. The wellness company making 100% Americanmade ivormectin menbendisol available to wrap viewers at an incredibly affordable price point.

>> They are beautiful.
>> I've never been there, by the way.
>> Well, I'm going to plan to change that pretty soon.
>> Okay, fair enough. Can I >> Everybody, we should do a rav tour of the Ozarks. I'm telling you, I can make it spectacular. We need to have a talk with Zen.
>> Oh, I like that little campfire. But that would be that wouldn't be American Sunrise. I guess it could be.
>> A lot of little campfires. A lot of little You could do a sunrise campfire.
That's a thing in California. People camp on the beach and do that. Yeah.
>> All right, let's do it. You're welcome.
>> Shall we do it?
>> Yeah, let's do it.
>> You're welcome. Okay. All right. Uh Florida's congressional map shakeup that's already triggering a major political realignment in South Florida.
So, Democrat Congressman Jared Moscowitz is now shifting his re-election bid to Florida's newly drawn 25th district after Governor Ronda Santis signed a new redistricting map into law this week.
The new district stretches from Delray Beach to Miami Beach and would have favored President Trump by about nine points in 2024. The redrawn map is expected to give Republicans a major advantage in Florida ahead of the 2026 midterms with critics calling it, of course, a partisan gerrymander and legal challenges already underway. Joining us now to discuss more is the former Booker Ron mayor and Florida congressional candidate Scott Singer. Scott, lot of changes in the maps or at least potential changes. What do you make of what's going on down in Florida and elsewhere? Good morning.
>> Good morning. There were changes in the map. For my campaign, it changed nothing. I was already running in what was twothirds of the district, Boca Raton, where I live and serve for 12 years through Fort Lauderdale where I grew up for 18 years. The district now runs all the way down to Miami Beach where I was born and lived for five years. So, I lived in the district for 40 years unlike any other contender on either party. actually live in the district and lived in all three counties. For me, it didn't change much.
It made the district a little more Republican leaning, but we're going to fight like hell because we understand how important this is to maintain a house majority and keep moving forward the successes we've had over the last year and a half.
>> Scott, um our state may soon see another wave of New Yorkers moving in. New York Governor Kathy Hokll and other Democrats close to finalizing a massive spending plan complete with even more tax hikes, including a mom Donnie style uh tax on high value second homes in New York City. Scott, Democrats in New York say this is about improving affordability, but it doesn't risk pushing more wealth and investment out of that state and into our state. And it changes our demographics every time that happens.
>> It absolutely will push more wealth out.
There was a study that Steve Moore of AFPI uh reposted yesterday. $1.3 trillion dollar of income has come to Florida in just the last 11 years. A lot fleeing from New York, which was the biggest loser. And it's going to continue. New Yorkers think that or the elected officials there, they think they can tax and tax Ken Griffin. After the creepy video from Mayor Mongdani targeting Ken Griffin, he announced he's bringing more jobs to South Florida. And that's going to continue. It's not about affordability. It's about seizing control. Try to tax people who are already taxed. And the ironic thing is when you have a part-time residence, you have fewer services, yet you're paying the full tax rate. Doesn't seem to matter in New York. Hopefully, we'll benefit by more business growth, as we've seen here, more high-paying jobs.
And luckily, the voters who flock from New York and Illinois to Florida are tending to vote more Republican. They're fleeing high taxes and these ridiculous policies.
>> Scott Singer, appreciate you being with us. Thank you.
>> Thanks, Scott.
All right, there's more American Sunrise coming your way in two minutes. Stick around.

Hey chat, we're back. I really should say hi. It's surely rude of me not to say hi on on inside the chat.
>> Hey chat, out of curiosity, are you guys as much into this UFO thing as we are?
Um, I'm just curious. Is Is it something that you're looking forward to, something you're interested in, or are we just nerds? I like how you call the chat chat. Hey, chat.
>> Hey, this is interesting. Somebody just sent me this. Uh, it says, "Yeah." So, not one of those passengers on that ship of 150 people posted anything on their phones. That's believable. Fake ship, fake passenger, fake virus.
>> Everything's fake. I don't know. I can't I mean, >> Good morning, Natasha. How are you?
>> Hey, I'm good. How are you?
>> Good. She sounds really blown out in my ear for what for you guys.
>> Natasha, are you into UFOs? Everybody's getting asked this question today. Do you believe in us and extraterrestrial life? No. Not really. Not a >> Not really. Nope.
>> Okay, fair enough. Fair enough.
You're once again affirming that I'm a nerd.
>> Any anything is possible in the world that we live today, though, you know.
>> Okay.
>> Chad, I'm seeing you. Uh Dr. Jamie, I see your response.
>> Guided, I see you. Okay, >> that's one thing I hate about this chat.
It's so small. I can barely see. Plus, maybe it's cuz I got an Android phone.

Well, Natasha, thanks for being with us.
Uh, first of all, first and foremost, happy Mother's Day to you and yours.
>> Uh, what an incredible celebration. I love that RAV is taking time to do this.
I wish um just the value that mothers can uh the role that they can play in in children's lives meant more to our culture today uh than it does. Um because certainly more good moms would change our culture, could change our culture all alone, right? That's correct. You know, uh the world is has a lack of love and the closest love to God's love is a mother's love for her child. So when you see that in an in an environment our morality is going so far to the other direction, we're aborting babies like never before, we need more of God's love, more mother's love. And so I just celebrate every mother this weekend. And I hope that she's treated like the queen that she is.
>> Absolutely. What can we expect from this big celebration?
Well, >> it's going to be amazing. First of all, let me give a shout out to Rav Music.
They are the only ones that it is providing a lane for conservative voices like me to be able to get the music out to the people. And since I have partnered with Rav Music, it has been a gamecher for me. So, thank y'all so much for doing this. Marty Bees in Dallas is the most amazing event. I have sang there three times already.
>> It is you're talking about a Texas party. You You'll have thousands of people out. It's kind of an open air, but yet it has a um a roof on it, if that makes sense. And the food is amazing. The sound is amazing. You're going to have an you're going to have a great time. You need to come out outside of Dallas. And if you're if you're not here in Texas, you need to fly in and learn how Texas celebrates Memorial Day.
>> Gosh, that sounds like so much fun. I would love to be there. Uh I wish I'd known about it beforehand. I would have made it. But uh we are excited about this. Folks need to get their tickets ahead of time though, right? And they're free, but they need to reserve them.
>> They do because we are expecting a massive crowd to where we're not going to have enough tickets. So, it is a venue that that you will have an amazing time. And the weather's still going to be great here in Dallas then. Um, but we need to know it's free, but we need to know exactly who's coming so that we know exactly how many tickets to come out. We don't want you to be able to have to stand in line for hours getting in and then get to the front and say we have no more room. So, go register as soon as possible and let us know that you're coming.
>> All right. That's May 24th on Sunday.
You want to reserve your tickets ahead of time. get to see all of the RAM folks that you love. And Natasha Owens, thank you so much for being with us. Happy Mother's Day to you and thanks for your time.
>> Happy Mother's Day.
>> All right, coming up, after decades of decline, new research shows church attendance seeing its first uptick in years. So, what is driving the renewed optimism? We have those answers for you next on American Sunrise.

>> She's My mother.
Oh, you're the best thing. You are the best part. You are the best part.
Whoa.
Hey Billy, Terrence Bates here. How are you?
>> I'm good. How are you?
>> I'm doing all right. Looking forward to the conversation.
>> Yes, me too. Thank you.
>> Of course. Of course. Stand by. We're about a minute and a half out.
You know what you guys need? Terrence, you need a puppy.
>> Okay, I'll follow your cues.
God bless the USA.
>> In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
>> Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's now time for our moment of faith which is brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible. In focus today, for the first time in decades, church attendance in America is showing signs of growth. A new Hartford Institute study shows the median worship attendance grew from 65 to 70 people per congregation. Researchers say volunteering is also up with many pastors reporting a renewed sense of optimism after years of decline in organized religion. So, let's bring in CBN digital host and journalist Billy Hollowale to uh look at these numbers.
Billy, good to see you, my friend. What do you attribute the increases to? Yeah, I mean, this is this is actually something we're seeing across the board in other studies, too, especially young men. Right now, Gen Z is showing up to church in America more regularly than any other generation. Usually, young people are not doing that. So, we're seeing this inversion and this change and it's really encouraging despite a lot of negativity in culture. I think people are turning back and they're realizing especially young people that this lie that they could be cultural relativist that they could just sort of do whatever they want. Whatever you you feel just do it and that's your morality. Create your own moral standards. That all of that leads nowhere. And that once you discover that you've been lied to, you're looking for the truth. And so, there are some other signs. You know, we see the rise in the occult at the same time, which shows us that people are desperate for an answer, right? And they're looking for it. Now, fortunately, many people are finding that in churches, and we need to be there to meet those people where they are. And so, I think it really is a cultural phenomenon that is based on the lies that we have seen in culture for so long now really coming to a head.
Billy, uh, as we're seeing more people come to the church building, are we seeing more people rooting themselves in faith though? I think that's the bigger question. People can show up every Sunday and simply be religious but not really build a relationship.
>> Yeah, you just hit the nail on the head because we know that the biblical worldview numbers are pretty shocking in this country. Just 4% of Americans according to George Bara have a biblical worldview. Um that is abysmal. And so what we are seeing though is with this church attendance, especially among young men, they're opening their Bibles more. They're reading their Bibles.
Bibles are being sold more at historic rates. So, those are things that that indicate that people are digging deeper when they're opening their Bibles and reading them. Now, young women, the story is a little bit different. We're seeing the inversion of that. We're seeing young men rise up in their reading. Young women not necessarily do that. So, there's a lot of work to be done, but at the same time, a lot of encouragement still happening. The hope is that they would root themselves in that faith because that is truly what is going to change them. Showing up to church is great, but it's not going to be the thing that really changes people and then the culture.
>> Absolutely. Read the book and change your heart. Thanks so much, Billy.
Always good to talk to you.
>> Thank you.
>> All right, we're back with the second hour of American Sunrise after this.
And we are back.
>> Woo. Okay, there we go.
>> You know the song Dr. Jamie? It goes you you This is the best part. This is the best part. This is the best part. You guys know that song? I've never heard that song. Not never heard that song in my >> lifime. Now I'm going to have to find the Jane F.
>> I'm just I'm just messing with you, Dr. G.
>> Okay, you have heard it. Okay, >> this little >> Actually, I prefer the bag type version.

>> No.

>> I've heard it before.
>> Who is this? Shade. Who is this?
>> Garden State.
>> That's definitely David. David David, slap yourself. That is not Shade.
Shade's voice is much much shame on you.
I'm I'm as offended about that comment as Dr. Gan is about me not liking bag pipes. Is that Shade? Oh my.
>> Listen. Listen. I'm not a smooth operator. What do you want me to do?
I I still love Shade to this day. I don't even remember the last album she made, but I love Shade.
>> You the sweetest taboo.
>> Yeah, >> my husband loves Shardai. Shade. How >> shade?
>> Whatever. Shardy.
>> Sade. Like, how do you get Shade from SD? Like, that's sad. How do you get Shade from Exactly? But anyway, >> I am with you on that, Terrence.
>> Sadie. Sadie Hawkins.
Okay, let's see what they're saying now.
>> I prefer the bad.
>> No, no.
Good morning, America.
>> Welcome to American Sunrise.
>> Whether it's culture, >> we have breaking news to share with you, >> politics, President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.
>> The American dream is still alive.
>> I'm David Brody.
>> I'm Terrence.
>> And I'm Dr. Tina.
>> Hi America. It's Brian Glenn. I am excited to announce that I'm coming here to Real America's Voice.
>> Let's go.
>> Brian Glenn.
>> Brian. Go ahead. Brian, go ahead. Brian, go ahead. Brian.
>> Brian, go ahead.
>> We'll go to Oh, look at some friends in the back. Brian, you didn't show up early enough to get some good real estate up here.

>> Oh, I love you, too.
>> He's a good man.
>> Brian, good man.
>> Brian Glenn.
>> Brian Glenn.
>> Brian, welcome.
>> Why don't you wear a suit? Why don't you wear a suit? You're the highest level in this country's office and you refuse to wear a suit. Do you own a suit? Maybe something like yours. Yes. Maybe some something better. I don't I don't know.
>> I like that guy. Now that's called a question. And he's a great reporter actually. President Zilinski had a little bit of fun with me as well.
>> Yeah, you looked good.
>> I said the same thing. President Zilinski in the same suit.
>> You see, I changed.
>> But you know, hello.
There you go. You're popular.
>> Yeah. Thank you very much. You know what? Here, hold this microphone.
>> Oh gosh.
>> Oh my >> Oh my god.
>> Look at that.
>> I owe Brian Glenn five bucks. I owe him five bucks. I love it.
Is that a 5 a.m. shoot?
>> I need some more of those.
>> We're headed to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. We finally made it to Switzerland, great state of Alaska here in Davos. There's the wall. There's Mexico that way >> at Net Life Stadium waiting for President Trump across these two characters right here.
>> We're in the DC studios surprise.
>> Stand over here in the corner. In the corner. This is the corner. It's a good corner.
>> Good afternoon everybody. Good to see you all.
>> To be here covering it is a blessing of a lifetime.
>> Brian Truck was right about everything.
>> You got a forehead like this that collects a lot of moisture and a lot of sun right here in Arizona.
>> Keep watching. Thank you very much.
Turn off the camera.
This is a time within our party. We have so many people that are so fractured on one side of the party, the other side of party. We're arguing about percentages and debt ceilings and all this stuff.
We're not our enemy. the left, the radical left, the person who shot Charlie Curt, that's our enemy. And >> this is a time, at least for me, to try to step back from the noise of the world and just really reflect on what you have, your health, your family, your friends, your opportunities, and that you live in the greatest country in the world. I'm very thankful for Real America's voice. I'm thankful for this network and its commitment to not only supporting the White House and supporting President Trump, but also supporting faith and freedom and family.
That's what this network is all about.
This past Sunday, uh, sitting at home in Georgia, I decided that it's time to, and I'll use a MMA, uh, reference, it's time to leave the gloves in the ring and uh, and walk away.
The people of Real America's Voice, they are just not the owners of a conservative news outlet that love this country. They genuinely love their employees. They are one of the best companies. They are the best company that I've ever worked for.
Oh, >> yeah. Welcome back to American Sunrise.
Um, >> you just watched some of the best moments from RAV, White House correspondent Brian Glenn. Uh, this is his last day in that position anyway here at Real America's Voice. Uh Brian has been part of our team, our family since June 2024. Uh quickly became not just a fan favorite, but a host favorite, a crew favorite, a boss favorite. Um Brian, he's stepping away from political journalism for the moment, but he joins us now for one last time. Brian, uh yeah, you know, I was crying the moment uh Zen Jr. told me about this and I really haven't stopped.
And it was David Brody this morning that even said, "I have this read, but Gina, I know how much it means to you if you want to take it." I'm not sure why I said yes cuz now I'm just crying while I'm reading it. But Brian, we love you.
>> Yeah. Well, I love you guys, too. And and it was a very difficult decision to make. And I described it to some friends where I've been thinking about it for a for a while, but it was one of those things about if you don't rip the band-aid off, if you don't just make that decision and do it now, you'll convince yourself to stay even longer than what you need to. So, um, with that said, uh, it does come with a heavy heart saying that this is the last time, uh, this morning that we'll be on American Sunrise. I got the great uh West Wing behind me uh right the White House on the other side. Um I watched that video and I'm glad I didn't have to watch it on camera, Dr. G, because I don't think there's enough Kleenex here at the White House that to wipe the tears away. Um thinking about this network and what this network really does. Dr. Gina, you have been here for a long time. Dave Rab, there's people in the studios that have been here way longer than I have. This is more, and I want our I want our viewers to understand this. This is much more than just a news outlet. Just more than just a conservative news outlet. They genuinely are Christ followers. They genuinely love this country and they pray for our viewers. They don't know that a lot of times, almost every time, they say, "David Bodie, can you lead us off with a prayer?" And this is behind the cameras.
This is before the cameras go on. We pray for this network before we go on the air. That's how sincere and how much love that we have uh for this country and for the people watching us right now. And and uh that's we want nothing but the best. And I am just so proud when I look at my resume of companies that I've worked for and it started back in the late 80s and off and on throughout the years to to get me where I'm here now. I'm so appreciative that God allowed me. He pushed me in the right direction. He put me out sometimes in an island. I thought I was all alone and I thought my career was dead. I thought it was gone. And then, you know, I got picked up by Right Side Broadcasting Network after I gotten fired from a company. They pushed me out on the campaign trail that led me to this great company. And this is more than a company. Like I said, Duck and G, you guys know this is a family. And I sincerely love each and every person.
>> Yeah.
>> With Real America's Voice. I love our viewers. I know we get tangled up in the chat sometimes.
Fully aware of that. Fully aware of that. But at the end of the day, I love this country. I love our viewers. And I love this company.
>> Brian, there there's so much to say about you. Uh but I just want to single you out as a as a person. Uh because you and I have differences on uh on some issues, especially as it relates to Israel. Uh, and yet I feel closer to you now after all of this than before. And I and I think that says everything about your character and who you are. Uh, because we have a common bond and that's in Christ. But beyond all of that, just just this idea that, you know, you're not out to trash people. You're not out to uh demonize folks. And uh, that just says a lot about your character. And I appreciate you, brother.
>> Uh, you know, Dave, that means a lot to me. And I I agree. Um you and I we don't it's only very small that you and I don't agree on stuff. So let's you know I I agree just it's true. You uh I I love you David. I love you. And and and >> you're the same way.
>> You know I don't I don't separate from friends. When someone becomes my friend, they're my friend for life. I don't let any disagreements politically or ideology, religion, >> it doesn't get in the mix.
>> And that that is a problem I think with a lot of people because am I the first person to cry in front of the West Wing? Maybe I am.
>> Um >> it's okay.
>> But I I think what we allow happening, there's so much negativity in our movement. There's so many influencers.
There's people that create memes for a living that's meant to demonize those that don't necessarily 100% agreement with them. They are the ones that that are the most harmful to our movement. It's not you and I that have maybe a disagreements on a couple policy issues and we talk about it and we love each other and we hug each other. We hug it out, >> right? It's the ones that are there that are purposely dividing this country.
Those are the ones that I just pray for, David, because they're they're soulless and um and and that's the that's the brutal side of politics.
>> That's the brutal side of what we do. It really is. It it is the harsh reality of political news.
>> But I am just so thankful that I am standing right here. It is such a beautiful day for my last day here at the White House. It's absolutely beautiful. I got God did that on purpose cuz it wasn't too long ago I was right over there doing snow angels.
>> That's right. I knew that was the spot.
>> That's the spot.
>> Uh but Brian, but Dr. G, Terrence, Yeah.
Go ahead.
>> No, go ahead. Finish your thought.
Finish your thought, Brian.
>> No, I was just going to say Terrence, I love you. I feel like I'm leaving you out of the conversation. Uh and Dr. G. I mean, everybody, EVERY EVERYBODY by the camera, Jonah, they they all they're all here. Mason, Will, they're all here. They all This is a f See, this is a family. What people need to understand, they think there's so much division in in the media.
There's not. I know every single person that walks by here, they have several other people have waved at me as I'm standing right here. This is a family.
And I think the division in this country is made to all it's baited to for us to hate one another. That is not the case here. It's just not. That's the reality.
It's not.
>> Yeah.
>> Brian, I'm just going to say I'm happy to hear your voice because after that video I thought it was a oid. I was like something HAPPENED TO BE. I'M HAPPY to hear your voice. LIKE WHEN IT RAN I WAS LIKE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO BE. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN OBITUARY. But glad you're here.
And just on a personal note, Brian, um you and I have spent so many weekends and shows just just the two of us getting ready for President Trump uh to take the stage and we've literally spent hours upon hours upon hours together and you've become a very close friend of mine, someone I really appreciate. So, thank you. Uh and those days that we've spent together, I cherish. Uh my entire family cherishes you. One of our favorite moments that my girls still talk about, you and I. Uh well, you and I and uh Marjorie, we were all, see, now I can call her Marjorie. I used to call her Congresswoman, but now I can just call her Marjorie. We were all on the air for New Year's Eve. I don't know if you remember this. Uh we were all on the air for New Year's Eve. Um Kelly were here.
>> Exactly. We did a fireside chat. Um and here in my time, I probably got home about 10:30 or so. And shortly after I got home, the two of you guys called me personally and just wished me and my family uh a happy new year. And my daughters were there in the living room.
They were like, "You had a congresswoman call me. I was the coolest dad for like 10 minutes thanks to your guys' call."
And I just really appreciate that and my family cherishes that. Uh and I cherish you, my friend. I cherish our friendship.
>> Now, Terrence, and you know what I think about you, uh the all the the volleyball games that you go to, everyone's got kids. Everyone's got a life outside of this circle of news. And I think for me that was a big decision that I wanted to do is I wanted to reinvest in me, my health, my family, my my mental, my physical. Um I'm 56. I feel like I I should be a little bit healthier than I am. But this job and the travel does take a toll on you. So that was one of the reasons why I I felt the need to step away now is I just want to take care of myself. And I just encourage all of you watching us right now and and I cannot say enough. Please I get your news, get your information, get on Facebook, check what your friends have bought, check what what what they're making for dinner, but then log off >> and go live your life outside of bickering about the straighter hummus bickering about the price of this, the price of that, or Republicans going to win this district. Who cares?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Control the things that are in your hemisphere, your family.
>> Get involved with your school board. Go to your city council. Do things. Go volunteer directly impact your life.
>> Is that what you're going to do?
>> I I have I would love to do stuff like that.
>> I would absolutely love to get involved.
Uh and I but most importantly, Dr. G, I'm going to get involved in my immediate family's lives because I have been voluntarily. I mean, I took this job on I took this role years ago to do this. So, no one forced me to do this, >> but I want to reinvest back into my loved ones, my family, and my friends and myself.
>> I I just I I think it's time I encourage everyone to kind of do a self-evaluation and say, can I do less of social media scrolling for 6 hours watching cat videos >> and watching people fight?
>> Oh, don't touch my cat videos.
>> Yeah, don't touch my cat videos. But you know what I'm saying? Just just get in the real world.
>> Yeah.
>> And live life.
>> Yeah.
>> And get your news, get your information.
And believe me, we have a lot of viewers. When I was at the when I was at the villages, I cannot tell you came up to me and they say, "We love Raph. We love you."
>> They do. It's amazing.
>> It's huge.
>> Well, Brian, um, >> and then some >> Go ahead.
>> Go ahead.
>> Well, they're telling me I'm out of time.
>> I just encourage all of our >> I know we're out of time. We're out of time. Yep. But >> you're leaving. Take all the time.
>> No, we got to We can float these breaks.
Float these brakes. Float them all.
We're going to float the brakes. Um, >> matter of fact, we're going to take the camera in the White House here in a little bit and we'll see how the story really ends. Um, I just want to say to our I just want to say our viewers, thank you. Thank you for allowing me to come in your home. Thank you for all your likes, your shares, your comments, all of that. Thank you for trusting me with the information here that I can come across here at the White House.
It's been my pleasure. It's been my honor. Rob Sig, Parker, Sig, I love you.
The whole Sig family, everybody calling everybody. There's too many people to name.
>> I love you, >> Brian. We all love you back so much. And I want to tell you what I what I just part of what I sent to Parker when he asked me for a little quote. I said, "He's the rare kind of talent you don't just admire, you feel. There are colleagues and then there are those rare few who remind you why this work matters. That is Brian. Wherever life takes you next, the world wins because you are in it. Our love to you and Marjorie.
>> Oh.
Oh my god. Dr. G, that's so good. That is so wonderful. Oh, that's Thank you.
That is so wonderful. Thank you, >> Brian. Thanks. Thank you.
>> Yeah, my my quote was simply, he's really cool >> and he makes the best snow.
>> I'll take that one, too.
have one last Red Bull for us.
>> I like that one, too.
>> Thank you.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I probably will. By the way, I am in the I am in the pool today, so stay tuned. There might be something at 12:00 a little bit later.
>> We'll be watching. We'll be watching, Be. Thank you so much.
>> God bless.
>> Thanks, Be.
>> We'll be back in a moment.
If you want to save time, the Spanberger soundbite was just like, I'm taking a look at it. I'll let you know. Like, there wasn't much to it. If you feel like you want to kill that saut, it's up to you.
Why? Why the heck not?
Here. I I'll go in. I got it.
I'm in it. Oh, you got it. All right, I'll get out. Good.
Um, the reason control room, can you hear me, Ryan?
The reason that we didn't close that is because it said David, but David, I think, was trying to be differential to me and I was trying to go ahead and give it to So, we kept like not knowing who was actually supposed to close it cuz I opened it. So, sorry about that.
>> No, that's that's exactly right. Gina's feeling me. Gina is feeling me. That's right.
>> Who did that, by the way? Who did that uh video montage?
I'm gonna thank him.
>> I'm sorry. I felt like it was a great video, but I'm glad he was there because otherwise I think people would have thought that he had passed away. Like it really felt like an obit.
>> Yeah. I was ready for the full screen and the memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m.
>> Right. Right. I was like, "Oh, I'm glad he's here to confirm that he's still alive.
Welcome back everybody to American Sunrise. Time now to drain the swamp.
This morning we're flushing out possible corruption in Virginia. The FBI raided the office of powerful Democrat state senator uh El Louise Lucas earlier this week as part of a federal corruption investigation. Federal agents also executed search warrants at a cannabis dispensary linked to Lucas in Portsouth.
Multiple reports say the investigation involves alleged bribery tied to the cannabis business, though no charges have been filed against Lucas at this time. The Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger, who by the way is a close political ally of Lucas, has yet to provide any meaningful response to the incident in incident, simply saying that she's looking into it. Okay, Abigail, we want to know what you think. Let us know on Rumble, Getter, YouTube. Hop on. Let your voice be heard. Coming up, we're heading down to Wall Street for the opening bell and insight into how to hold on to your hard-earned dollars with some common sense. Back with more of American Sunrise in 2 minutes.
This Mother's Day, don't wait until it's too late to say what matters. From Real America's Music, Bo Davidson brings you She's My Mother.

>> Hey, doc, adjust your beaver. Pull your beaver over to the left a little bit, brother.
>> What's happening?
>> Can't go further left with the beaver.
Hey, I heard. Hey, man. I heard there's photos running around with you with hair.
>> Oh, right. Where is that? I was going to look for that.
>> It's in the chat. He put He put in the chat.

>> That's me at about 15 or 16. The last time I remember having hair.
>> Oh my gosh, that's adorable. I wouldn't have known that's you.
>> I love it.
>> That was like the pre-ascot days. Like you have a half ascot there.
>> Oh >> yeah. It's called a turtleneck. Oh, sorry. My bad. My bad.
You said a half ascot, David. That's a troll today.
>> And the pink vest. I love it.
>> Coney Island, New York, makes me think of hot dogs. I'm sorry. Most people think of amusement parks. I think of hot dogs when I think of Coney Island.
Anyway, we're getting ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It's set to ring here in just a minute. We're also following the latest jobs numbers that just came out just a little while ago. The report shows that the US economy added about 115,000 jobs in April. That beats expectations and it might impact the jobs numbers once the opening bell rings. We of course will continue to monitor those developments throughout the day. Here's a quick look at the board so far. the Dow, S&P 500, and the NASDAQ in pre-market trading are in the green.
Hopefully that does not change as we get to actual trading today. We'll take you there shortly. But now, let's get you back over to David. David, good morning.
>> Good morning. Now, you got me thinking about Nathan's Hot Dogs. Thanks a lot.
Uh they think of too when I think of Coney Island.
>> Absolutely. The hot dog eating contest, of course. The fries are great, too, by the way. But okay. Uh here we go. Real America's uh music is back at it again with another incredible release. This time from Rav's own Don Newan who cow who cow hosts who co-host what am I talking about? Who co-hosts Cowboy Logic. I'll be able to speak with of course Donna Fiducia. It's a song that celebrates the greatest triumphs in American history. Have a look.
>> From real America's music artist Newan comes a powerful new anthem honoring the men and women who gave everything for this country. Every star, every stripe from Cowboy Logic >> with unforgettable lyrics honoring Valley Forge, Eoima, Arlington, and generations of brave Americans. This is more than a song. It's a reminder of who we are. Download Every Star, Every Stripe right now. Just scan the QR code or search for it on iTunes.
>> I hold you close to my last >> RAV family. Let's run it up the charts like only you can do.
>> And look at that. There he is. The man, the myth, the legend, Don Newan. Don, great song. The anti-CNN anthem, if you will. It's all about America. Talk to us. Tell us about the motivation, my friend. Good morning to you.
>> Hey, good morning, David, and everybody else uh down there in West Palm Beach and Denver and every place else. Uh this motivation for this song came from the fact that Donna and I throughout the entire year, every day of the year to us is Memorial Day.
And I started to think about what that meant and how we could uh write a song that would honor the fallen. And what you see on the screen right there goes with the fallen. It's the last thing often times that they'll see. Um it covers the casket. It's given to loved ones. And so we combined a song that honors the fallen with with regard to Memorial Day, but also the importance of Old Glory, the American flag.
>> Yeah. Don, you have uh been writing and recording music uh for for many years.
Te tell us more about that, that inspiration, where that comes from and the gut there as to how that all just kind of flowed for years now.
Well, for many years, uh, well, we've had a recording studio in our home since the 80s, and, um, a lot of what I've written over the years has been instrumental soundtrack music, guitar oriented instrumental soundtrack music. Um, never really got into writing anything that had a lyric content to it. And so that's produced a catalog that I'm now going back to uh with a lot of songs that I never did anything with with regard to an instrumental version of it.
Uh and some that we did use instrumentally. Uh but turning those now full circle into complete songs and uh and this wonderful relationship that we now have with uh Real America's Music, which I think is fantastic. It's also showcasing a lot of great talent that we've got here within our network. Uh hat tip to Bo. Very impressed with everything he's doing. But it's given us the opportunity to um start writing material that is family faith patriotic MAGAbased. We've got we've got a catalog that we're building right now that uh we've been working with LJ on and I think you're going to see some really neat stuff coming in the future as well.
No, we're looking forward to that for sure. So So how do you like write songs?
Like how does how does that kind of like happen for you? I mean, I guess it's different for for each individual. Uh but what is that like for you? And I wonder also about AI, how that's ch is that is that changing the music industry at all or not really?
>> Yeah, AI is actually very cool. Donna's the one that actually motivated me to get into uh exploring AI music. Uh, I was a I was a purist and scoffed at it and laughed at her when she brought that up. But I am finding that not only many of the people that I work with in the music industry, uh, but it's it's helpful to myself. Um, anybody can go onto an AI music platform and crank out a song. Uh the trick is being able to write a hit and that's going to really end up with regard to AI. That's what's going to separate um real music artists from people that just enjoy playing with AI. And I think it's a great tool and and a great thing for the public to play with. It also is a very serious tool for serious musicians, serious producers. Um, it would shock our viewers to find out how many bands and artists that they are very familiar with and have listened to for many years >> find out exactly how AI is being used.
>> Wow.
>> Um, >> that's >> that's it in a nutshell. I can get a lot more technical about it, but it's it's an amazing tool for producing >> hit songs. Don, great to have you here as always. Say hello to Donald. We'll see her down the road. We appreciate you as always.
>> Absolutely. See you later.
>> All right. Every star, every strike.
Let's head back to T Bates in Denver.
He's got the opening bell sponsored by AAC.
>> The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice for Americans 50 and older. AAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today. Together, we can write the course of America.
The applause is already underway at the New York Stock Exchange as we prepare to embark on this final day of trading of the week. Uh it is Friday the 8th of May. And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The markets are now officially open. Those first trades being entered. Here's how the markets are looking right now. Uh the Dow is up, but it looks like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have dipped into the red, and now the Dow has dipped into the red just a little bit, but as you can see, it's kind of going up and down, up and down.
It's back into the green momentarily.
That's typically how things go at the very start of the day of trading. A lot going on as well. The jobs numbers are out a little bit better than expected, but that very likely could impact how this final day of trading of the week goes. We'll continue to monitor all of this though for you throughout the day.
In the meantime, AAC exists for one reason, and that's to fight for you.
While organizations like the AARP grow closer to big government, AAC is growing stronger in Washington in order to defend the values that made America great. And those values will be faith, family, freedom, and opportunity. AAC believes in freedom of religion and speech, the right to keep and bear arms, free enterprise, and personal responsibility. Common sense solutions instead of government control. AAC refuses to stand by while radical policies from blue states threaten our families, our livelihoods, our safety, and our future. AAC is also no longer just an alternative to the ARP. They are the leading conservative voice for seniors and patriotic Americans. With a rapidly expanding presence in Washington, AAC is standing toe-to-toe with the AP's massive lobbying machine and winning. Join AAC today and help us replace failed big government policies with common sense proamea solutions. AAC needs you and you need AAC. So stand with AAC today. Just go to amac. us/rav that is amac.us/rav and join today.
Still to come here on American Sunrise, water systems are failing in households across the country and it poses significant health and financial risk for Americans. We'll break it all down for you after the break.
Hey there everyone, Bo Davidson here. I have a great Mother's Day special in store for you this Sunday, May 10th, featuring interviews with Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, Sam Sorbo, and the matriarch of Palm Beach, internet sensation Souel. I also composed a song specifically for this special called She's My Mother. And you can give mom a great gift by downloading the song from iTunes and adding it to a photo album montage of you and your mom. It will be a unique personalized gift that she will love for years to come. So, make sure to tune in this Sunday, May 10th, to see my Mother's Day special, The American Matriarch, right here on Real America's Voice. And give a musical gift to mom that she will always treasure. Happy Mother's Day. She's my mother.
>> I believe in French it's Seame.
>> Okay. She's my mother.
>> Mayor, I think is sea meaning like ocean.
>> Oh, I stand corrected.
>> No, you're right.
>> Watch my French.
>> Go ahead. What were you going to say?
>> Gina's like my French teacher.
>> A little bit. A little bit.
>> I like Bowser. Shout out to you for ulogizing me while I'm alive, bro.
>> Oh my goodness.
>> All over hot dogs, Bowser. You're hilarious. I I I do like it, though.
>> Was this in YouTube?
>> Yeah. Um, we were talking about hot dogs and Bowser was saying uh that he read somewhere that eating hot dogs take minutes off of your life. And I was like, I'm pretty much two toes in the grave then because I was raised on on uh hot dogs. And then he kind of wrote a he kind of wrote a eulogy.
>> I love hot dogs like that. So, >> you know what's even better than hot dogs though is corn dogs.
>> Fried bologn.
>> Fried bologn. I don't like it fried, but I like it raw. But so I'm telling you guys, starter discard. I know Jenus is going to come for my head again.
>> Starter discard. So, you know, when you're making your starter, the stuff that you have to pour off of it, >> you can make amazing things with this.
You can dip your hot dogs in it and deep fry them like in like in avocado oil and you have a totally healthy treat. Well, except for the hot dog part, but if you get like kosher hot dogs, Terrence, they're they're actually pretty healthy.
>> Really?
>> Did someone say kosher? I like that.
All right, welcome back to American Sunrise. Across America, many households facing a quiet crisis they might not even be aware of. Water systems that are aging, contaminated, hard water systems, chemicals, all the rest of it simply failing us. Even your own shower may be aging your skin or putting contaminants in your body.
Research shows that hard, unfiltered water can worsen chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis. Here to weigh in on this very concerning issue is home improvement expert Skip Bidell. We have watched him for years helping families on the hit TV show Catch a Contractor.
He's also appeared on some of the nation's biggest news shows as an expert contributor on how Americans can improve their homes, keep themselves healthy, keep their families healthy, keep their water safe. It's really, it's foundational. It's fundamental. And people don't even realize. People think, here's the misnomer. People think that if you are drinking bottled water, you're keeping these safe, but you're not. Because even bottled water has PFA sub plastics in these forever chemicals in your bottled water. Plus, we know now, Skip, you know, I'm putting nicotine patches on my arm because that prevents dementia or Alzheimer's and I'm putting uh all sorts of lotions that have things that tell us what we're missing and why this system is so really important.
>> Yeah, thanks so much for having me, Dr. Gina. Um you are absolutely right because the skin is the largest organ on the human body as you know and it absorbs everything like a sponge. So when we hear about all these contaminants in the water you know the lead the mercury the arsenic and now these crazy piles PFAS or the forever chemicals they're showing up in every state across the nation coast to coast now they're even showing up in America's blood results. So, these are confirmed to cause cancer. Very dangerous. And you're right, most people are under the impression that if I only drink bottled water or I filter the water in my home, like I have it one in my refrigerator or under the sink, that I'm good. But what they're missing and the really the the false sense of security here is that they don't understand that we take in much more of those contaminants and chemicals through our skin than we ever could by drinking it. When you shower or bathe, a typical shower, let's say 10 minutes, your body can absorb up to six ounces of those contaminants, just like your nicotine patches. The reason why is because our skin is so, you know, transmittive. It absorbs all of that.
Goes directly into your bloodstream, as you know, bypasses the digestive tract.
And they're highly concentrated when it's in that that form vaporized. Now, we're also breathing in those vapors going into our lungs and directly into our bloodstream. So now that we're finding these P files and all these chemicals, you know, test results are showing cancer levels and so many different illnesses are going through the roof over the last number of years.
>> One in three people right now estimated to have cancer in this decade. We're doing something wrong despite all the filters, despite all the things we're doing. So this one's different though.
Tell us >> it is because what this is going to do is going to filter every drop of water to every faucet in your home, not just the water that you drink. So, we're going to eliminate those problems where you're taking in the chemicals through your skin and through the inhalation when you're showering, bathing, even washing your hands, brushing your teeth.
We use water for everything. You know, we take it for granted, but it doesn't matter where you live or what you do or what you drive. Everybody has to use water all the time, right? So, we're exposed to these chemicals and we're missing the boat. You know, we're not protecting. So, this filtration system, this is a great system. After doing so much research, being a home improvement contractor for 25 years, I've installed every kind of system you can imagine.
And when I realized these things and I went down the rabbit hole and I started doing some investigation myself, I'm like, I got to do something to protect my family. And the whole house water filter is the best way to go because it covers all the bases. Basically, you install a system like this right where the water comes into your home, right by that shut off valve. And it's just a simple one line in and one line out back to the house.
>> So, no big plumbing bill here. This is just a matter of literally like 30 40 minutes for a plumber to install this.
>> Yes, it's the easiest install ever. And it's going to force all the water that comes into your house to go through this filter first and then back out to every faucet. And now you're actually getting filtered alkaline drinking water.
Alkaline water, you know, is like the best water you can drink. People are paying like $8 a bottle to get alkaline water. You're literally getting filtered alkaline water better than bottled quality water to every faucet, even when you shower. eliminating all those harsh chemicals, the things that cause your skin to be dry and itchy, your hair to break and be brittle.
>> It makes such a difference, Skip. I just just putting a a hard water filter on my shower, which was the first thing I did like 10 years ago, that made a huge difference. So, but but what what people don't realize is all of the things that are in our water. It's not just about the hard water. It's not just about the chemicals. Now we have uh PFAS, we have uh minerals in our water that cause uh degradation of our systems.
>> Yes. Yep.
>> This takes care of literally all of it.
>> Yeah, it does. So the mineral system like you know for years people have been using water softeners, right? And they're usually pretty large cumbersome units. They're kind of antiquated now.
You have to do a lot of maintenance.
Keep adding salt to it all the time.
It's why you see like Costco these 40 lb bags of salt. People lug it around.
Nobody wants to do that anymore. This is a new technology. This does the job of a softener. It takes out all those minerals that break down your plumbing pipes, but it also takes out all the harmful contaminants all in one thing.
So, it's a really great system to have in your home. Uh I installed this in my house a couple years ago, and you're right, it was like somebody flipped the switch.
>> Yes. Overall, >> hair is softer, skin is better. People say, "What did you do?" I'm like, "Nothing. I just I'm doing this. This is all I'm doing."
>> Yes. Just Oh, yes. The hair in the skin, you notice right away. And the first thing, the very first shower you take, you don't smell the chlorine and the chemicals. You don't see it on the glass and you don't taste it in the water.
It's like just pure water. That's the first thing. But over time, I noticed that I was actually feeling better. Like I I wasn't, you know, look, we're taking in all this stuff. And people complain all the time that we see huge spike in like chronic fatigue, chronic, you know, um inflammation throughout the body, brain fog. Everybody's saying like the same thing. And we're exposed to a lot in our environment. You know, what they're spraying in the air, all the contam the all the processed ingredients in our food now. And there's you can't control everything, but this is something that you can be proactive with in your home. You can filter all that garbage out of your water in your home very easily.
>> Okay, so let's talk turkey. I want to know, how often do I have to change a filter? What's the maintenance on this system?
>> That is a great question because this is really the only system I was able to find is completely maintenancefree. As you can see, it's a sealed tank. So once you set this up, it's literally set it and forget it. And that's one of the things I loved about it.
>> Forever.
>> Yes. Being a Well, forever. There's a there's a 10 year and there's a 20-year warranty. So, even on the even on the even on the 10 year for um for a smaller system, you're getting 10 years guaranteed pure water. Um you know, and that's like over a million gallons of water, more than you could ever use. So, they also have a system that has a pump on it that uh backwashes it kind of like a pool filtration system. Has a 20-year guarantee. So, basically, you set it and forget it. Once you set it up, there's no filters to change. And that's really what I loved about it. The easy install, zero maintenance. You put it in unbelievable things almost hard for my brain.
>> I know because we have enough things in life to worry about. Especially now just turn on the news is like we have enough things to worry about. We don't need to worry about poison water for our family.
I want to like check it off the list.
This is it. Set it and forget it.
>> Love that. Love that. Okay. So, talk to us about these forever chemicals because this is a really big deal. And this isn't just a big deal in our drinking water. This is, as you mentioned, a big deal when it goes to our skin. Our dogs.
I lost two dogs to cancer this year. You know, it's a big deal to me that my dogs have filtered water and I if that sounds diva, okay, whatever. But I but that's why I need this system.
>> 100% right. So, I have 50 chickens. I got four dogs and five cats. I'm a big animal lover.
>> Oh, you're you're as much as me.
>> My wife and I, we only give the dogs, you know, water that comes out of our house system, right? So, we know that >> you take it with you when you go on vacation.
>> Yeah. You can bottle it. So, what's great about this too, right under any faucet in your house, just get your little stainless steel bottle or glass bottle you take for the day. You got the best water that you're going to get. But these forever chemicals, you're right, they're in everything. And the reason being is that they're used in the manufacturing process of everything that we have. Everything from our clothes, furniture, textiles, technology, everything that we're surrounded by requires chemicals in the manufacturing process. And as things grow, as technology goes up, solar panels, and batteries for cars and everything, more and more chemicals are needed. And these chemicals now we've seen really at high levels getting into our groundwater and getting into our homes. The the municipalities just can't filter it all out. They just can't. And you can you can see article after article, story after story how they're trying to combat these forever chemicals in every state, every municipality. So it's a real problem. And you know, people ask me all the time, what can I do? I have a a filter on my faucet, one in the refrigerator. And I try to remind everybody and and I too thought the same thing. I was always a guy to filter my water refrigerator any any way I could.
Very conscious of it. But once I started doing the research and I thought about the skin and I'm like like this light bulb went off. I had this like aha moment like so like because when you take a shower you think it's like the cleanest healthiest thing you can do.
You're not realizing that you're taking in all of these chemicals, you know.
>> Tell us about the system. What's in it?
>> Yeah. So there's multi uh levels of filtration that the water goes down through this um and is forced to come back up through uh multiple stages of filtration. Also, it goes through a center tube here that ionizes the water and converts it into alkaline. So, when it goes in, it strips out all the minerals that are harming your plumbing and causing hard water or scale damage to your plumbing. But at the same time, through those multiple levels of um of filtration, it's also taking out each level takes out different types of chemicals. And by the time it gets to the top, it comes out alkaline drinking water that's just pure.
>> This is really pennies a day. It is.
>> This is, you know, all that money we've been spending on the bottled water, which now we've all moved to the boxed water and the glass bottled water, which is even more expensive. Sometimes five, six, I've seen my kids spend like $12 for a bottle of water. What in the heck?
And but this is literally pennies a day over the course of 10 years.
>> It is. When I look at what I spent on bottled water over the years, it's like ridiculous. And it's the reason why the bottled water industry has become nearly a hundred billion dollars a year for plastic bottles that aren't even healthy.
>> You're putting them out of business, Skip.
>> It It's Yeah. Yeah, they're they're in big trouble right now. You know what's funny about the plastic bottle? What people don't realize? When that water goes into the bottle and it goes to a warehouse and then it goes to the supermarket or on hot trucks, right? And then you take it in your hot trunk and you put it in your hot garage and by the time you break a bottle out, put in the refrigerator, that water plastic bottle might be heated up a dozen times, right?
We all know what happens when you heat plastic. No one thinks of this.
>> Expands and contracts, >> but just the chemicals leech out of the into the water. So, the plastic bottle water is definitely not a way to go. If you're going to have to drink bottled water, do it out of a a glass bottle, you know, >> but you can get your own glass bottle.
You can put your own filter.
>> This is by far the most cost effective way. For pennies a day, you can literally have the best quality water from every faucet in your home.
>> Now, alkaline is really important as well. We've talked a lot about that, how acidic our water has become o over the years. I don't know what's caused it, but I know this fixes it.
>> Yes. The chemicals in our water and a combination of a lot of different elements cause the water to be uh acidic. And as you know, when you have acidic levels in your body, it's also promoting cancer and a lot of other is the big thing that causes cancer.
>> We want to get our body to alkaline. We want to get our blood to alkaline, our body to alkaline. So drinking and also bathing in alkaline water is a really very helpful thing to do. You know, >> so good for the skin. Uh keeps you young. David Brody on your birthday. Um so so tell us what I'm not asking you.
What did I not ask that you want us to know? Well, as far as the installation, um, and it's one of the reasons why I really, again, being a contractor, I've installed like so many different systems, like hundreds of different types and brands. And when I looked at my own home, I'm like, what's going to be the easiest install? Also, the size.
If you look at the footprint of this, this is like literally like 9 10 in.
>> Oh my gosh, I can't even believe it's you can literally put this in the smallest little space in the closet.
Most people have their their water systems either in the basement or in the garage. Takes up a lot of space. like the softeners are big cumbersome units.
The footprint of this is so small. You don't need anything else. It's an all one thing. So, it's a really great system from that regard. The installation and also of course the the no maintenance, you know, that's really my my thing.
>> Skip 26. That's a QR code. What does that save us?
>> Oh my gosh. This is a great time to get one because this company, which by the way, I didn't mention this another and really the thing that put me over the top of this. This is an all-American company. The 100% manufactured and sold right here in America. Their home offices in Nevada. So important.
>> So important in America. And I'll tell you why. You try to get someone on the phone from any of these other water filtration companies is farmed out across the world. No one speaks English.
These guys, when you get on the phone with them, you're speaking to a water specialist. They're in your country.
They're speaking English. They're going to tell you exactly your zip code, what the problem is in your water. They know water. And they make it really easy to to to get this, you know. So, >> right, the code is skip 26. You're going to save some big bucks on that.
>> $1,000 off right now.
>> $1,000 off right now. Uh, Skip Patel, this is just this is really exciting. I want one for my house, definitely. And >> give me your address. Ship one over.
>> I can't believe uh that one little system with this small of a footprint for this little money can save uh lives.
Can save lives.
>> It really can. In the long term, it can save lives, right?
>> All right. Thank you so much, Skip 26.
That's the code. Saves you $1,000 just today. So, make sure you order right now. And uh we'll be back with more American Sunrise right after this.
Thanks, G.
>> Thanks so much.
>> All right, guys.
Kobe and I still have half of a hard-boiled egg left.
>> Okay, >> you So, you're sharing it with Kobe?
>> But we ate all of our discard sourdough discard fritter that we made, right?
>> I'm sorry. Who's we? You both made it together.
>> Colobby and I.
>> Oh, okay. All right.
>> He's a huge help in the kitchen.
>> Hey, Mike. I'm sorry. I'm I'm just over here looking at our our chat when I completely forgetting that I've got to talk with you and we've got injury. How you doing, brother?
>> No problem. Terren, can you hear me?
Okay, >> I can hear you perfectly. Anything in particular you want to talk about? I've got some prep questions here, but is there anything that you'd like to talk about?
>> No, just the prep questions is good.
>> Okay.
Anything you want to talk about?
you you know me, I'm always interested in what's coming down the m down the pipe and uh and and what's in in in research and development right now, but I know some of that stuff can't be let out just yet, but I'm always curious.
>> Yeah.
>> Plus, if you want ideas, >> if you want ideas, you know, I've got plenty of them. I've got a great tea palette.
>> What's your first choice? Do you have one?
You know, I I still am a huge fan of the vanilla chai, but I like just in general like peppermint teas and so like different flavor peppermints like some sort of peppermint and a a fruit like a peppermint orange or peppermint raspberry, stuff like that I think would be cool.
>> Okay, sounds good.

All right, it's time to spill some tea this morning. In the cup today, Artillery Tea co-founder Mike Britain joining us. Mike, always good to see you, my friend. How are you?
>> Good. How's it going, Terrence?
>> Doing all right. So, look, I was reading here, you guys have created something called the coffee crash eliminator kit.
The coffee crash eliminator kit. What all is in this and who designed this coffee crash eliminator kit?
>> Yeah, it was designed by me actually.
Um, it all goes back to why I switched over to tea in the first place from coffee. I thought if this happened to me, I can't be the only one, right? And I guess we'll see. But when I first started coffee, it started to keep me up in the middle of the night. I would have one cup at 10:00 in the morning. I'd be up until 4 a.m. U looking for solutions.
I heard tea like kind of like handles caffeine differently. still gives you the energy without the crash. When I switched to tea, my my sleep at night completely regulated itself. Um, and it was within 24 maybe 48 hours of that happening. And so that's how I became a permanent tea drinker over coffee because I get the sustained energy without the crash. It doesn't have these side effects for me. And so I wanted to put together a kit that would have solved my own problem from a few years ago before I before I found te. So, this kit contains all four of our top selling black tea flavors, including Morning Moab, which I specifically designed to be a coffee replacement. We put more black tea in that one. There's more types of black tea, and so there's the caffeine level is more comparable to coffee, but also still doesn't give you that crash.
>> Huh. So you get the same amount of caffeine that you would get in coffee or pretty much the same amount, but it doesn't have as as hard of an effect on the body.
>> Yeah. The caffeine from tea, because tea has something called elenine, too. It kind of elutes through your system slower than it stays in your system longer than coffee, caffeine does. And so that's why you don't get the crash.
That's why you don't get the jitters, but you still get that alert and focused effect from from black tea.
Fascinating. All right. Always good to see you, my friend. Have a great weekend. Once again, go to the website, folks, and order all of that stuff. Uh, it's definitely going to help you. In fact, I'm going to try it myself. Mike, good to see you.
>> Yeah, if I could just mention one last thing, you won't see this offer on the main website. You have to go to artilleryco.comcrash to see it.
>> Ah, artillery tco or co.comcrash.
C r, >> right? Yeah.
>> Okay. Okay, I win the spelling be. I could spell crash. I'm all right.
Thanks, Mike. Good to see you, my friend.
>> All right. Thank you, sir.
>> All right. Coming up, David Brody standing by with the top story that he's keeping his eye on. That's after the break.
I can just add lib right to the pictures or or Gina can just um is Gina bringing us in?
Well, I I just think that Gina can just say, "Hey, I think something we're all watching today is these UFO the UFO stuff." And then just go right to it. I mean, if we're tight on time, >> right?
>> Oh, because because the time you're saying I see.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, let's just have Gina just say, "Hey guys, we're keeping our eye on these UFO." I think we're all doing that. And then just adlib through these photos. I haven't seen what we're putting up, so I don't know.
I mean, do we have any context any of this or is it just kind of like generic stuff?
Bunch of Can I Okay.
All right, welcome back to American Sunrise.
I'm Dr. G. Thanks for being with us today. Time now for the one to watch.
You know what? We're all keeping our eyes on. David Brody, I know you can't wait to talk about this. These UFO files. Yes, >> little queen mar. Yeah, >> let's put them up. We're all Look, we're all keeping our eye on them. Uh, so this is what from the Department of War.
Anyhow, there Oh, look at that. That's from 1964, apparently. That's a Yeah.
>> Holy cow.
>> What in the world?
>> Oh my word. Terrence, what do you make of this?
>> Look, I'm going to be spending the weekend. I'm just honest with you. I'm going to be spending the weekend going through these various files from uh the I guess it's from the National Archives, but uh basically like if you go through all of this uh there's videos, there's pictures, uh there are complete databases, and so I'm going to definitely be looking at the videos and the pictures and seeing I I believe there's absolutely extraterrestrial life out there somewhere. Uh it wouldn't at all surprise me um if we have been visited by, you know, UFOs and UAVs and all that other stuff. Uh, and I'm just looking forward to seeing the sort of documentation that has been released on all of this.
>> And and when you mix this with all the dead scientists from the department, uh, what do you guys think? Either of you have thoughts on that?
>> Well, I haven't linked any of that yet.
You know, the first thing I'm doing is I'm going to my Bible and and I'm kind of trying to research a little bit of this from a theological standpoint because the Bible doesn't say there is or is not um life uh beyond what we know to be true uh here in terms of human life. So, I I don't know. I I don't have answers. that I haven't really looked into.
