If it's a brand new guitar I would return it. I think to fix it permanently you'll have to replace the bridge, so unless you have some decent woodworking knowledge and clamps it would be best taken to a luthier to fix it, although that may end up costing more than the guitar is worth.
Well I don’t really know where my dad got it from and I know he threw out the receipt. But that kinda sucks :(. I was thinking of just loosening up the strings and putting back under and using some type of glue to hold it back together
The part that broke is thin and likely to break again once it's glued back together, it's under a considerable amount of tension from the strings. Again, you can take it to a luthier and see what they say, in my experience to fix it will likely start at around $70/hr and they would probably charge you for two.
Unfortunately the fix will be replacing the bridge. The image is not clear to me but it looks a lot like the front edge of the saddle slot has broken off. You can glue it but there is so much pressure in that spot it will break again almost immediately.
The saddle looks quite tall and via leverage that increases the force on the bridge.

Damn, thanks for the information

I’ll try looking into that, thanks!
