Under permanent daylight saving time, sources put Bismarck's January 1 sunrise at about 9:28 a.m., which matches the claimed approximately 9:30 a.m. The Hill (tier1) also says Bismarck's latest winter sunrise would be almost 9:30 a.m., and the extraction faithfully reflects the post's Bismarck 9:30 sunrise figure.

… It would be you wouldn't have the sun come up in, like, Minneapolis until about 9 a.m. If we were on permanent daylight savings time on this January 1, so one of the shorter days of the year.

The Charlie Kirk Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Timeanddate.com states that with DST in force the Sun would rise at 09:28 on January 1 in Bismarck, which is the latest sunrise of the year there.[2]
Supports. The Hill reports that Bismarck's latest winter sunrise under permanent daylight saving time would occur at almost 9:30 a.m.[1]
Context. Other coverage gives nearby figures for the same scenario: AP-reprinted coverage lists 9:28 a.m. for Dec. 30 through Jan. 3, and a Jamestown Sun piece gives 9:32 a.m. for Dec. 21. These are consistent with the claimed approximately 9:30 a.m. figure.[3][4][5]
Context. The post itself says it checked Bismarck with a 9:30 sunrise on January 1 under permanent DST, so the extracted claim matches the passage and adds no new figure or scope.
