Extreme unrest. Iran is on the brink.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Mass protests sweeping all thirty one provinces, all economy in freefall,
and a regime struggling to hold control. Is this the
moment Tehran finally breaks? Plus extreme anti ice protests spreading
nationwide from Minneapolis to major cities across the country as
federal law enforcement faces open defiance for doing its job.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
What started as a single incident has become.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
A national test of authority, enforcement and the rule of law,
and later extreme strategy. The President is also doubling down
on Greenland, calling it a national security imperative.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
If you don't know, now you know.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
American Sunrise Early Edition on Real America's Voice starts now.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Good morning everyone, Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm
Alison Hans. We are live from West Palm Beach. It
is so great to have you with us this morning.
Let's bring in my co host, Brian Glenn. Brian, good
morning to you.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Good morning, Alison. Do you have a good weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I had a wonderful weekend, although I didn't get much
sleep because, as you know, the two of us love news.
We love news even when we're not here. It's a
twenty four to seven job. And with everything that's going
on in Iran, which is absolutely extraordinary to witness, and
of course everything in Minneapolis, I can't say that I
(02:28):
was resting.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Yeah, I agree, it's but the Douce cycle as of
lately is pretty heavy.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
That's understandable.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, yes, I would agree.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, you know what, Brian, let's get to the latest
on Iran this morning, so we can set the table here.
Iran's foreign minister claims the situation has come under total control.
In the nationwide protests, the Foreign Minister also alleges nationwide
protests turned violent and bloody to give an excuse for
Trump to intervene. Iran has summoned the British ambassador over
(03:03):
protesters twice taking down the Iranian flag at their embassy
in London. Now Trump's message to the world, he's saying
he's done with dictators, he's done propping up regimes, and
he is done pretending America has no leverage from Iran
to Cuba, Venezuela, Greenland. This feels like a methodical game plan.
(03:26):
What are you, Brian, what do you think that the
White House is trying to accomplish at this point?
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Well, you know, I think about what life was like
this time last year, and it's some of the things
that we were dealing with, and I didn't have any
of these, if perhaps escalations.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
With Iran maybe on the on my bingo card.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
But you look at the Greenland, the conversation for Greenland,
and then of course you fast forward to what happened
in Minneapolis and the deportation. We knew, Alison that once
we started to, you know, have this deportations start, that's
something like this could happen. But man, does President Trump
not have a lot on his plate.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well, you know, we have the FAFO, and I think
that that is certainly the policy that is going into effect.
And it's just been absolutely extraordinary. Of course, amid the
turbulence and uncertainty, we ground this morning in God's word
(04:26):
a promise that still holds. This verse is from Exodus
thirty three fourteen. The Lord replied, I will personally go
with you, Moses, and I will give you rest. Everything
will be fine for you. Turning now from the good
Book to a moment that may define a generation. This morning,
(04:46):
the Islamic Republic of Iran is unraveling. For a third
straight week. Anti regime protests have swept all thirty one
provinces and the response has turned brutal. Security for have
opened fire, the streets are flooded with fear. Hundreds are dead,
and thousands disappeared into detention. The regime has gone dark,
(05:10):
shutting down the Internet, cutting communications, and sealing the country
from the outside world. This is what a government does
when it is losing control, and here in Washington, President
Trump is now reviewing next steps, weighing options as the
regime's grip weakens by the hour. Joining us now is
(05:30):
doctor Zudi Jasser, United States Navy veteran, founder of the
American Islamic Forum for Democracy and author of A Battle
for the Soul of Islam. Doctor Jasser, thank you so
much for joining us this morning.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
It's good to be the Alison.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Thanks for having me absolutely well, doctor Jasser.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Are we watching the moment when fear breaks and a
regime begins to fall.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
There's no doubt, you know, if you look at how
we got here two thousand nine initial Revolution, the Green
Revolution that the Obama administration intentionally ignored. Twenty seventeen, there
was smoldering revolutions across Iran in which the mulahs and
their Islamic schools were targeted by citizens and demonstrated against.
In twenty nineteen we began to have the Women Life
(06:17):
and Liberty Revolution with Masaimani, who was killed and ultimately
awoke the women's movements. And now it's sort of a
sonic boom of revolutions where all thirty one provinces, as
you mentioned, are involved, and you have the alignment of
all of the factors necessary for the end of this regime,
(06:37):
which is economic struggles. We're over fifty percent inflation and
the currency is completely devalued and lost. The forces are beginning,
some of them are beginning to take off the uniform.
Now most of them have not. We see clerics putting
videos out, might be lying to save their hide, but
(06:58):
at the end of the day, some clerics putting videos
out saying they disagree and want to separate from the regime.
Foreign adversaries are no longer available for sort of that
Machiavelian enemy abroad where Israel now has completely contained Iran.
America's end of the nuclear weaponry that they were trying
(07:20):
to develop. So Israel, I'm sorry, Iran domestically and around
them is now sealed and this is the beginning of
the end of the regime, if not soon the end.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, doctor Shafts, I just want to follow up on
that because we're looking at these incredible videos of coming
out of Iran. I mean, have you ever seen protests
like this where people are willing to go out on
the streets and risk their lives. I mean, we've had
protests in the past, but this just seems different.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
It does for Iran. It's an all, all, all encompassing
demonstration that has now paralyzed for whatever the economy was
on the edge, it is now completely paralyzed. And the
key will be if they continue to keep it up,
which is why we need to get exposure of video
and international attention to what's happening. This is why they've
(08:18):
locked down comms, whether it's by phone, Internet, etc. Because
they don't want the world to see it, and they're
going to start using If you look across the Middle
East in twenty eleven when you had the Arab awakenings
country to country. A similar example on the Sunney side
was in Egypt when the Muslim Brotherhood took over. You
had demonstrations against them with millions that went to the
(08:39):
street in Egypt, and they tried to put it down
by weapons. And this is what they're going to try
to do in Syria with demonstrations week after week, twenty
five hundred three thousand a week were being killed in
Syria and ultimately what allowed that to continue for a
decade was the fact that the regime was getting weapons
from Russia, from China, from ere On, et cetera. If
(09:01):
Iran can't get weapons, if Iran, if the Iranian regime
cannot get money to feed and to pay its soldiers
at the IRGC. It won't last but a matter of days,
two weeks. If they get weapons and money to feed
and to pay their soldiers of the IRGC, they this
could continue for weeks with basically demonstrators being killed because
(09:24):
they don't have weapons. Remember, the people have no weapons
to fight.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
This actually brings up the next question, what do the
Iranian people still need to do to finally topple these
move laws? I mean, what's that final thing that they
might need.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
Yeah, I think ultimately sealing the border, making sure that
there's no financing, you know, weapons coming in from the outside.
There needs to be basically continued paralysis of the economy.
If you look Asad for years never went anywhere, and
then finally he was done. Why because Israel sealed the
(10:02):
border of Syria, Russia stopped feeding the regime and he
wasn't able to pay his officers for a month, and
in November twenty four he was done. So this is
going to be the same thing in Iran that people
need to keep it up. State of the streets, know
that the world supports them as praying for them. And
I can tell you this isn't just about change in Iran.
(10:22):
As a Muslim who's been fighting against radical Islam, theocratic Islam.
This is a once in a millennium, not even generation
or century, once in a millennium shift in the power
structure of Islam from the theocrats and the establishment across
the planet to the people, to secular movement, to the
separation of Moskin state, which is one of the greatest
(10:42):
signs for movement towards peace and liberty, towards Western ideas
that we've seen in the Middle East and the Muslim
world now for over a thousand years.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now, if there is the toppling of the regime there,
how does that affect us here in the United States.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
Well, I think this is one of the things we've
said in the National security realm, and I've testified to
Congress many times, is that ultimately, the best anti nuclear
program that could ever exist is the end of the regime.
Because right now, if they had nuclear weapons, it would
not be far fetched that these guys think that that's
the end of the world and the end of times.
They would have tried to use them to create armageddon.
(11:24):
So thank god, number one, they don't have it. Number Two,
it will tip the the influence of Russia and China
in the Middle East, unbelievably putting them on defense versus offense.
Because Iran was their cash cow, their oil cow, they
were able to have a place in the region. It
will completely disassemble Iran's influence in Iraq, which we lost
(11:46):
Obama handed that to Iran and then Syria already was
lost and part of the reason the regime is weakening
because they lost the ability to get those resources. So
it will bring back even better than we had in
the twentieth century thanks the Trump. President Trump's resolve sort
of realigning that where we were on the Sunday side
and the Russians were on the Shia side, there is
(12:07):
no more Shia side with the Hisbal law Hamas you know,
the Irgc terror organizations now no longer having the primary
funder of terror in the planet.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Go away, doctor Zudi Jasser, Thank you so much for
being here this morning.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
We appreciate you anytime. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Up next, the Portland Chief of Police is being mocked
online and going viral after breaking down in tears over
illegals and law and order. That story is next, as
American Sunrise continues, Good morning, We're looking at a beautiful
(13:00):
shot of Philadelphia there. Thank you so much for waking
up with us. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early edition.
I'm Allison Hans. Let's bring Mike COO anchor Brian Glenn
right back in.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Hey there, Brian, how you doing this morning?
Speaker 6 (13:17):
You know, alson, I was reading some stats before our
earlier guest. Food was up seventy two percent from year
to year. That's there, and I get in Iran and
then the currency is almost worthless. So the people are
just fed up. And once you learn kind of what
they're fighting and how bad that regime is there, it
(13:37):
makes sense absolutely and it makes us look like we
complained over eighteen percent inflation on Joe Biden in nineteen percent.
Imagine a look of bread being just absolutely unaffordable.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
So it's it's just crazy times.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Something extraordinary to witness out there on the streets of Iran,
just absolutely amazing. Well, turning now to a moment that's
going viral. Now we're back home and raising some serious
questions about priorities back in many in Portland.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now, Portland Police Chief.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Bob Day is being mocked online after breaking down in tears.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
This is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
While confirming that two illegal immigrants shot during a federal
encounter had suspected ties to the violent Venezuelan gang Trende Ragua,
the emotion, not the admission, is what's sparking the backlash.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Check it out.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
It saddens It saddens me that we even have to
qualify these remarks because I understand, or at least have
attempted to understand through your voices, your concern, your fear,
your anger. This information in no.
Speaker 10 (14:55):
Way is meant to despair, bridge or to condone or
support or agree with any of the actions that occurred yesterday.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Well, it's a stunning display and a window into how
far some leaders are willing to look the other way. Now, Brian,
I'm not trying to be insensitive here because this is
a terrible situation. But if that's my police chief weeping
at the press conference, taking a hanky out, dabbing his eyes,
(15:30):
that does not give me the confidence as a citizen
of Portland that this is someone who's going to lead
and protect and.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Serve your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I want tough cops, I want tough sheriffs. I want
people that when the criminals. Look at they say, that's
a badass guy. I don't want to cross that guy.
Did he cry when Lake and Riley was murdered, raped
and assaulted? Did he crime when these other people that
we've seen that we've lost in the hands of these
criminal gus, did they cry then?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Look?
Speaker 6 (16:02):
But what else do you expect coming out of a
very liberal city like Portland.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, but it's not only like a liberal city like Portland.
I think it's a larger question of masculinity. In masculinity, yes, okay,
masculinity in general, and I love, you know, tough, strong women,
but I also love strong, tough men, and I think
(16:29):
that roles are being reversed or tamped down at least.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Well, what's interesting I read a study that as women
became feminist and they're very strong, they tend to gravitate
towards weak men. So I see a lot of the
protesters at these events seem to be very weak men
because they are married or associated with very liberal white women.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
There is a correlation there.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
So we have completely just tossed out masculinity in something
that's almost toxic.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Now.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Yeah, so it's you know, don't be a toxic mel
don't don't be strong. And I love independent women. Oh yeah,
trust me. I love strong independent women. I think I knew.
But I also love strong men as well. And I
think that police chief God bless that community, because yeah,
I like to know what the crime stats are and
(17:28):
his and his uh in his city.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, we have a lot of liberal white women out
there showing up at a lot of these protests. And
we have some great video with David z Or out
in Minneapolis. We'll be bringing that to you later him
confronting or actually rather they were confronting him.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
He was a total gentleman. Staying with us because we're
bringing that up. It's going to be awesome.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Well, coming up when we come back, a Ron's moment
of truth. Why the next few hours could shape the
future of the regime that's next as American Sunrise continues.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Stay with us.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
All right, welcome back, a live look at Chicago.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Move by there a couple of weeks ago. Great city.
All right, welcome back.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Before we dive in, let's get a quick word from
our sponsor, Artillery Tea Company, the only America first veteran
owned tea brand. Their mission is simple, maximized flavor with
whole leaf blends and chemical free tea bags.

Speaker 10 (19:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I try to be getting up at this hours. It's
pretty brave for this lady.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Oh you're brave.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Oh, thank you, Brian. Moving on. Aron is teetering on.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The edge this morning as the regime moves to crush
mass protests that have spread across the country. More than
five hundred people are confirmed dead, with reports of protesters
shot at point blank range and morgues now overflowing as
Ayatola Ali Komeni orders a full crackdown despite warnings from
(19:51):
the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is weighing next steps,
including preliminary military option, as officials consider how to respond
to what could be the bloodiest moment of the regime's
final chapter. Joining us right now is bonochet zand a
journalist and analyst covering around.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Thank you so much for being here this morning. We
appreciate you.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, So what are your contacts inside around telling you
that we aren't necessarily seeing on state TV or social
media at this point.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
Well, first of all, there's no telephone or internet, so
as of the last sixty hours, it's been very sixty
seventy hours, it's been very spotty. So it comes and goes,
and that's their style. They throttled the internet. But I
want to bring up something that is very important to
(20:51):
me and it should be to everybody on the planet
who is watching you on This is not This didn't
start in two thousand and nine. You know, this has
been going on since nineteen seventy nine. Western memory unfortunately
doesn't go past a certain number of decades or years.
(21:13):
But for the ones of us who have been suffering
for forty seven years, this has been going on for
forty seven years, as I just mentioned, since nineteen seventy nine,
the nineteen ninety nine student uprising where a number of
university students were killed, where several of our students whose
(21:34):
photographs appeared on the Economist publication from Britain who went
to prison, some of whom were executed. Are these are
historical moments that is very disappointing for us who have
spent forty seven years of blood, sweat and tears lost
(21:57):
our loved ones. My own eighty year old old father,
who was a journalist and a public intellectual in Neuron,
spent seventeen years in and out of prison under torture
and interrogation, and was finally thrown out of the balcony
of his sixth floor apartment where he was under house
arrest at age eighty, and then the regime claimed that
(22:19):
it was suicide. Now we've been going through this for
nearly five decades. The forces of that regime are deployed
in this countrydual on an individual basis. They're not like
an army in the sense that you would think an
army would attack the country. They carry out terrorists attacks.
(22:42):
That's the reason why they are known as the biggest
sponsors of state terrorism. So let's put things into context,
and let's look at this in terms of the proper
historical timeline, and as far as we're concerned, the way
that people are chanting in Iran and it rhymes when
(23:05):
they chanted in Farsi. They said, this is the last battle.
Pah Levi, which is the name of our king, pa
Levi will return. So that's the context of how people
really should be looking at what's going on in Iran.
This is the nth protests that people have had. Every
(23:25):
protest has tumbled into a new phase. So in two
thousand and nine, what you actually saw, and this is
the thing that people are always getting wrong when they
describe it, is that two thousand and nine was the
year where all the factions came together. So if throughout
(23:47):
the decades workers were protesting, teachers were protesting, pensioners were protesting,
university students were protesting, every faction came together in two
and nine, and since then it has been a gestalt
a whole, an entire community, an entire society, of all
(24:12):
of the various echelons of society getting together and protesting.
So now this is what we're looking at here, the
culmination of fifteen years of a well rounded series of
protests of people from all guilds and all echelons of
society coming together, and the twenty twenty two massa Amini
(24:35):
protest should have been a reminder of the twenty two
thousand and nine murder of nedda Ava Soltan, who was
brutally shot in the middle of the street in Tehran,
and who's whose blood poor was pouring out of her
eyes and her mouth. So this is not the first time.
(24:55):
It's unfortunately, however, become a natural rual Western amnesia, where
the processes of the series of never ending protests and
desperation of people in Iran is concerned. Everybody's making it
(25:16):
seem like it's just economic. It's the farthest thing from
only economic. They kill people for absolutely no reason. They
are brutal dictators, and this has been going on for
forty seven years. It's not just because the seventy two
(25:40):
percent inflation. It's because people don't have electricity, they don't
have water, they have absolutely no freedom to wear what
they want. Their children are dragged away in the middle
of the night to be taken to prison and tortured
and then executed without the knowledge of the family. So
please don't just make it just about some economic hardship.
(26:03):
This isn't the economic hardship or Biden issue to say.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Let me stop you right there, Please stop like this,
ninety million people.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I understand. Let me ask you, how does this end?
How does this end?
Speaker 6 (26:15):
As an American we see we watched this play on
our on our TV screens.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Where does this end?
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Because the protests have become a revolution, are we at
the end of the revolution or the beginning of the revolution?
In the end of the protest?
Speaker 11 (26:31):
The revolution has been going on, as I said, for
forty seven years. This never ends.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
What happens. But when do we find people?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Yeah, when do we finally move to this to a
new error in Iran?
Speaker 11 (26:44):
When the people are able to get rid of this regime?
And when the when the White House stands by its
word and says that when it's going to go in
eight days ago is when Donald Trump said that if
they hurt a hair on a single protester's head. The
fact is that the numbers that we're getting of the
people who have been shot on the street is above
(27:05):
two thousand. So the fact is that right now the
Iranian people can't do it all on their own. Unfortunately,
we have tried for decades. Again as I will tell you,
but this is the fact that we are a people
who don't carry guns we don't carry molotov cop it's
(27:25):
only now that people are beginning to do things like
that they need help. They don't need boots on the
ground for the long term, because we have a Crown
Prince who has organized the structure of an interim government
that is ready to slip in and hit the ground
(27:45):
running and pick up from where it needs where it
was left off. So it has absolutely nothing to do
with American boots on the ground. NATO this that it's
just the people of Iran. And we've been saying this
for forty seven years that a country whose people and
the nation who hates the regime and the dictatorship that's
(28:10):
that's basically invaded it is needs to go by the people,
and that's what we're doing. We just need a little
help with protection against the bullets.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Understood, understood, Batasha, Thank you so very much. We really
appreciate you coming in and giving your perspective, and we've
learned so much this morning. Really really appreciative.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Coming up, an emergency above Earth, astronauts told to come
home now, the NASA decision rarely made.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's coming up next.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Welcome to American Sunrise, our early edition the show where faith,
freedom and the values that built this nation takes center stage.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Welcome back to American Sunrise Early edition. I'm Allison Hans,
happy to bring back in my co host Brian Glenn. Okay, Brian,
what does the President and the White House have on
the schedule today?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
That is a great question.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Coming up today At ten thirty he is meeting with
the Secretary of State, followed up by a one thirty
meeting with the Archbishop Cokeley. Three point thirty, there is
what it has described as a signing time, and then
finally at four o'clock the CEO of Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
All of that is in the Oval Office and we'll
bring it to you if it opens up to the
(29:53):
media right here in real America's plaice.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Fantastic sounds great, Okay. A rare and unprecedented move from
NASA this morning. For the first time in the International
Space Station's twenty five year history, NASA is ordering an
early return of a full crew after a medical emergency
in orbit. Officials say a Crew eleven astronaut experienced a
(30:19):
health issue aboard the International Space Station. The astronaut is
now stable, but the decision was made to bring everyone
home within days, NASA calling it a safety first decision
and stressing this is quote about protecting life above all else.
Joining us now to break this down is Emily Finn.
Good morning, Emily, Good morning, Allison. Thank you so much
(30:42):
for having me. Of course, this is being described as
an evacuation from orbit. I mean, how extraordinary is this
and are we learning more about what actually happened to
the astronaut?
Speaker 12 (30:53):
Well, Ellison, I'll tell you, I have so many questions, Okay,
Like I want to know what's going on. I've been
trying to go like full fbade, trying to investigate and
find out some answers because medical issue that's so broad.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I definitely want to know.
Speaker 12 (31:07):
But they're still being very tight lipped about the details
of what's going on up there in space. I was
able to find a LinkedIn post from Mike Thinkey. He
is the commander of the International Space Station. He's with
some of the astronauts, with the crew of astronauts that
is going to be coming home. A little bit early
in his post, he said, first and foremost, we are
(31:28):
all okay. Everyone on board is stable, safe and well
cared for. This seems like it's an abundance of caution
kind of decision that they ended up making here, Allison,
but really interesting the first time, as you said, in
their twenty five year history, that's something like this has happened.
So they were supposed to be coming home around February twentieth,
but they will be coming home Wednesday at five pm.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Is when they'll be returning back to Earth.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Okay, so this isn't just like someone having a cold
up there, and you know, you can't.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Go for like the Nike will and like fix this.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
No, no, And like I said, tight lipped, you know,
definitely keeping the privacy of the astronauts in their medical conditions,
you know, definitely private. But we'll find out eventually what's
going on, and hopefully everyone is going to going to
remain safe.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Now, Emily, all they need is a wellness emergency kit.
Speaker 11 (32:16):
That's all they need.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
We all send them up to space.
Speaker 12 (32:19):
Someone called Elon Musk get the rocket fired up.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
I mean anything from a tick bike to diarrhea to COVID.
I mean, I think they could probably handle it all.
We certainly wish them a safer turn back here.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
They even protect from alien bites too.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Brian em Away, thank you, Brian, thank you, Okay, changing
gears now. Over the weekend, anti ice protests erupted in
dozens of major cities, from federal buildings to state capitals,
with crowds, clashes, and a heavy law enforcement presence. David Zerr,
a host of Breaking Point here on Real America's Voice,
(32:56):
was on the ground at one of these protests when
the rhetoric earned personal and the harassment turned openly hostile.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Take a look, this is.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
What we're dealing with on the ground.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
That's right.
Speaker 13 (33:10):
Actually, I'm very respectful, and you're not respectful at all
in any way. I just want to ask, do you
believe in illegal immigration?
Speaker 14 (33:21):
Do you think US tax payers should be funding housing
for illegals and medical card?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Man?
Speaker 15 (33:27):
He is so intelligent, this man, he's got nothing to say,
He's got a lot to say.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I'm very respectful. I'm very respectful here.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
This is the mentality.
Speaker 14 (33:52):
This is the state of the United States right now. Uh,
this is what's going on here in this country.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
And joining us now is David Zir, the man himself. David, I, okay,
we were talking about crazy liberal white women out there
at these protests. I'm telling you, David, I saw this
before anyone here at the station showed me the video.
I saw this going viral on I think it was
like Instagram. I was laughing so hard and I'm sorry
(34:25):
it's a very serious moment, but David, come on, I
mean that was that was nuts.
Speaker 14 (34:31):
Operation to flex Somali fraud is in full effect. It
was like the zombie apocalypse, total mob rule, an invasion
of the body snatches where people single you out by
the masses and all screaming unison to attack us with
their handheld radios with their stupid ice whistles. We was
stalked like lions on the Serengetti for two hours straight.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
And you know, we had a.
Speaker 14 (34:54):
Few hundred people with eyes on us starting to shove us,
calling us Nazis and fashion blocking our path out and
they didn't even know who we were, and they were
just taking orders from the leadership there. And along with
Kevin Pasobic and Nick Sorter and myself and our brave
camera crew and the security there for us. There were
no other media on the ground. There was no police presence.
(35:16):
Shame on the Minneapolis Police chief. They hate ice, they
hate ice, and we should have been protected. We called
the police because it got violent at the end and
they never came. So this is what's going on in Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Now.
Speaker 14 (35:29):
This is a few blocks from in Powderhorn Park, away
from where Rene Good and George Floyd died. So these
people are adamant they don't want ice in their neighborhoods.
But you know this is ramping up, guys. You know
next week January nineteenth, they're having big protest planned there.
Mlk's Dream resists Trump's Nightmare, no Ice, no KKK, Free Congo, Sudan, Palestine,
(35:52):
and Venezuela firing up the Black bas for no reason
because this is what they do. And I just wanted
to add, you know, shame on the Minneapolis school district
for brainwashing a generation of children. You know, this is
Steve Bannon's Generation Zero, the movie he made fifteen years ago.
Because they have the kids of the liberals and the
hippies who are spoiled, spoiled kids brainwashing our kids. They're
(36:14):
promoting school walkouts. Elementary school walked out the other day.
Six year olds, eight year olds, ten year olds marching
against ice.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
It was really insane.
Speaker 14 (36:24):
And then Brandon, our cameraman, were in a restaurant minding
her own business, and this ring nosed Will Debeast came
up from behind us, hip checked me and threw a
hall shot fireball and his face no reason, calling us
Nazis and fastests, while her whip husband just stood by.
And you know what, she stormed out of the restaurant.
She shouldn't be how she shouldn't have kids, Social Services
(36:46):
should pay her visit. She did it in front of
her children, and we were just mining her own business.
She got triggered by the logos on our jackets and
that's it.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
David Affairs, I.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Want to say you are a badass man, because I
gotta be on it. I saw the video of Brandon
getting that shot thrown out of them, and I'm not
sure I would have probably handled it the same way
that you guys did. But God bless you for a
lot of resistance. Now, David, from what you see on
the ground, are these movements building power or are they
(37:17):
burning their own credibility Because the crazier they get, I
think they're losing the credibility from the rest of the
country that they're trying to bring on board with their
tactics here.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
I think they're growing. I'm worried about the mid terms.
Speaker 14 (37:33):
You know, there's a lot of regular people out there
who succumbed to this, right, there's a lot of people
who don't want ice.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
In their neighborhoods.
Speaker 14 (37:39):
I think the administration needs to do a better job
because a common theme on the ground there was that
ice are not trained, and they're not law enforcement people,
and they're just a bunch of proud boys running around.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
You know, and it's not what's going on.
Speaker 14 (37:50):
These guys are trained, and a lot of them are
cops already, and you know, we got to be very
clear about who we're rounding up. Do they have criminal record,
are they violent felons, or what kind of crimes did
they commit? Because the left is spreading this narrative, and
I think it's catching fire.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
So I'm concerned.
Speaker 14 (38:09):
I think this summer and now this was ten degrees
and you had five percent of the Minneapolis population in
powder Horn Park the other day and it's ten degrees
at with the wind chill. So imagine in July they'll
have another George Floyd type situation. You know, you can't
light anything on fire when there's snow on the ground.
So I think they're going to ferment this all year.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Long.
Speaker 14 (38:29):
Tim Waltz doesn't want the microscope on him. For the
Somali fraud. We spent two days with Scott Bessen on
the ground there, who has had a round table with
Somali fraud in Minneapolis. It was incredible, local people getting
together talking about all the fraud going on. And this
is going to be a powder cake. I don't see
it going away anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
And David, obviously the police didn't come out and do
anything for you.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
What's the latest?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Unbelievable, what's the latest with Mayor Fry.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
He's a jerk. You know he's out there.
Speaker 14 (39:02):
You know he's a jerk, and you know he doesn't
care about you know, civility and piece. You know, we
were at the protest in Minneapolis where they did send
in state troopers. Finally, after the hotel was surrounded with
the ice war, we watched people from ten feet away
break the door of the hotel canopy and try.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
To enter the hotel.
Speaker 14 (39:20):
You know, they're complicit, they're silent complicity going on here.
They want a revolution, they want a civil war, and
we can't give it to them. And you know, we
have to get some order and semblance. But we also
have to be better with messaging. And you know, again,
these people are sowing division in our country because they
(39:42):
hate it.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yeah, you know, David.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
Over the weekend, I've spent some time with a top
law enforcement agent in Texas and he told me, Brian,
the White House needs to refine their messaging on this
and say, look, we're targeting the criminals.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Were going out for them. We're not going out for
the poor guy.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
Who's doing lawns servers or doing a roofing that has
a company that's been there for.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Ten years, paid his taxes.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Because that's what the American people are ultimately against us
rounding up what would be considered good people that are
working in the community. They want us to go out
these criminals. So I do think there's a messaging issue
that we need to make sure that the White House addresses.
Speaker 14 (40:19):
I agree with that, And yeah, I was in the
street with the people in the neighborhood after the paid
agitators left on Thursday night, two days after the shooting,
right wherever Nate Good was shot, and the people I
had a civil dialogue with them when they don't have
the agitators around them. I was able to make some
headway and talk to them and listen to what they said.
But they're not educated, they don't believe in the rule
(40:40):
of law, and you know, but they don't want ice
going and kicking down doors and residential neighborhoods. So there's
got to be something that, you know, bridges the gap here, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (40:51):
And can we bring up the audio real quick of
the badass that one more time, the chance we have that.
Speaker 13 (40:59):
On a ground, that's what Actually, I'm very respressful and
you're not respressful at all.
Speaker 11 (41:08):
Anyway, I just want to ask.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Do you believe in illegal immigration?
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Okay, we gotta go, We gotta go, David, Thank you
so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Keep it up out there. You are a badass.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
When we come back, the situation in Iran is changing
by the hour. The latest developments coming up next. Welcome
(42:02):
back to American Sunrise. We are looking at a live
shot of wee in Chicago or we in Chicago, I
think so, or maybe New York City.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Anyway, welcome back, Thanks so much for joining us. I'm
Alison Hans.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Let's bring back in my co host Brian Glenn and
joining us also is American Sunrise host David Brody.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Good morning, David.
Speaker 16 (42:29):
Hello Alison, Hello O'Brien, good.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Morning too, the morning. Top of the morning to you.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
You've been saying for a while now not to take
our eyes off the unrest in Iran, that you've definitely
been on top of that. What's your what's your take
on the possibility of the Islamic Republic falling back into modernity?
Speaker 12 (42:50):
Right?
Speaker 16 (42:50):
Well, obviously that isn't really the biggest story. The biggest
flory is clearly the Golden Globe Awards last night, But
beyond that is the top story clearly in the world
right now. Look, I think it's just a matter of time.
It's just a matter of time. This has been going
on for a couple of weeks. It starts with inflation
and all the economic problems there. But let's be honest,
(43:14):
if Trump didn't nuke the nuke sites, if you will,
back in July, I'm not quite sure we're here at
this point. Once again, I'm not suggesting that the economic
problems in Iran wouldn't be present anyhow, of course they would.
They've been present for years and years there.
Speaker 5 (43:33):
But I think that strike.
Speaker 16 (43:36):
Going after the nuke sites in July, I believe I
think when the final story is told, will, in essence
show that the Iranians over there got a little bit
more hutzba if you will after that, to know that
America may indeed have their back. Now that raises a
whole other issue, which is, wait a minute, is this maga?
(43:58):
I mean, once again, I feel like it's always coming
down to this question.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Is Venezuela maga?
Speaker 5 (44:03):
Is Iran maga? Maga?
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Did I just say maga?
Speaker 5 (44:06):
What is what? Am I British maga? Why don't people
say maga?
Speaker 16 (44:10):
I don't get it anyhow, That's a separate issue, sir,
So I don't know. I'm curious to get your guy's
take on this because listen, strikes inside Iran while this
is going on. Uh, I'm not going that doesn't feel
like a bingo card maga situation to me. Correct me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
But you know, listen, I get it, I get why
they do it, But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (44:34):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
I mean, we'll talk, we'll talk about it.
Speaker 6 (44:36):
I tend to agree with you to a certain extent.
But now it kind of makes those strikes that we
saw on those nuclear facilities a little bit more strategic,
because now you're right, the Iranian people have a little
bit more you know, you know, kicking their step now
to stand up and fight.
Speaker 11 (44:54):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
And I think we're talking to the break.
Speaker 6 (44:57):
If I Ran seriously has a nuclear weapon, this is
when they would use it if they have one right now.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
So maybe those strikes make sense back in the summertime.
Speaker 6 (45:08):
But real quickly got about forty five seconds left. David,
what do you think Americans should be focused on right now?
If we're going to talk about Maga, Maga, Maga, Manga,
to what.
Speaker 16 (45:22):
Voices are going to win the day? I think is
really the question when it comes to Maga, that's really
the bottom line question. There is an internal fight, as
you know, Brian, over.
Speaker 5 (45:30):
What is Maga.
Speaker 16 (45:32):
Donald Trump says he came up with Maga, so he'll
decide what Maggie is. I'm not necessarily convinced of that.
I know he came up with Maga. That's fine, but
that still doesn't mean that there's not an internal war,
if you will, kind of going on within Maga as
to what the future of Maga will be. And I
think that's where we keep our eyes focused and it's
going to be.
Speaker 4 (45:52):
Look, I think the.
Speaker 16 (45:53):
Jd Vance, Mark or Rubio situation. I know they're friends,
but as we go to twenty twenty eight, I think
that's going to be the delineation line. I mean, Rubio's
a version of Maga. I know establishment neo Khon got it,
got it, but he is a version of Maga at
least under Trump, and jd Vance is obviously Maga as well.
So then where's the I think that's kind of like
(46:14):
a little bit of the schism, if you will, okay.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
The future eyes on Maga. Thank you so much, David.
We will see you in a few moments. American Sunrise continues.
David Brody will be back in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Have a great day. We'll see you tomorrow.
It's seven o'clock in the east, four am in the west.
Going up right now. On this early edition of American Sunrise.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Extreme unrest. Iran is on the brink.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Mass protests sweeping all thirty one provinces, all economy in freefall,
and a regime struggling to hold control. Is this the
moment Tehran finally breaks? Plus extreme anti ice protests spreading
nationwide from Minneapolis to major cities across the country as
federal law enforcement faces open defiance for doing its job.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
What started as a single incident has become.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
A national test of authority, enforcement and the rule of law,
and later extreme strategy. The President is also doubling down
on Greenland, calling it a national security imperative.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
As China and Russia I.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
The Arctic, Europe pushing back Trump not blinking What this
sig knows about America's red lines in a rapidly shifting world.
Three fronts, one strategy, America back in command. This early
edition of American Sunrise starts right now.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom,
and the values that built this nation takes center. Stick
You people and others like you built this country. Join
us as we break down the stories that matter.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Fa f oh.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
If you don't know, now you know.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
American Sunrise Early Edition on Real America's Voice starts now.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Good morning everyone, Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm
Alison Hans. We are live from West Palm Beach. It
is so great to have you with us this morning.
Let's bring in my co host, Brian Glenn. Brian, good
morning to you.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Good morning, Alison. Do you have a good weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I had a wonderful weekend, although I didn't get much
sleep because, as you know, the two of us love news.
We love news even when we're not here. It's a
twenty four to seven job. And with everything that's going
on in Iran, which is absolutely extraordinary to witness, and
of course everything in Minneapolis, I can't say that I
(02:28):
was resting.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Yeah, I agree, it's but the Douce cycle as of
lately is pretty heavy.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
That's understandable.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, yes, I would agree.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, you know what, Brian, let's get to the latest
on Iran this morning, so we can set the table here.
Iran's foreign minister claims the situation has come under total control.
In the nationwide protests, the Foreign Minister also alleges nationwide
protests turned violent and bloody to give an excuse for
Trump to intervene. Iran has summoned the British ambassador over
(03:03):
protesters twice taking down the Iranian flag at their embassy
in London. Now Trump's message to the world, he's saying
he's done with dictators, he's done propping up regimes, and
he is done pretending America has no leverage from Iran
to Cuba, Venezuela, Greenland. This feels like a methodical game plan.
(03:26):
What are you, Brian, what do you think that the
White House is trying to accomplish at this point?
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Well, you know, I think about what life was like
this time last year, and it's some of the things
that we were dealing with, and I didn't have any
of these, if perhaps escalations.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
With Iran maybe on the on my bingo card.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
But you look at the Greenland, the conversation for Greenland,
and then of course you fast forward to what happened
in Minneapolis and the deportation. We knew, Alison that once
we started to, you know, have this deportations start, that's
something like this could happen. But man, does President Trump
not have a lot on his plate.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well, you know, we have the FAFO, and I think
that that is certainly the policy that is going into effect.
And it's just been absolutely extraordinary. Of course, amid the
turbulence and uncertainty, we ground this morning in God's word
(04:26):
a promise that still holds. This verse is from Exodus
thirty three fourteen. The Lord replied, I will personally go
with you, Moses, and I will give you rest. Everything
will be fine for you. Turning now from the good
Book to a moment that may define a generation. This morning,
(04:46):
the Islamic Republic of Iran is unraveling. For a third
straight week. Anti regime protests have swept all thirty one
provinces and the response has turned brutal. Security for have
opened fire, the streets are flooded with fear. Hundreds are dead,
and thousands disappeared into detention. The regime has gone dark,
(05:10):
shutting down the Internet, cutting communications, and sealing the country
from the outside world. This is what a government does
when it is losing control, and here in Washington, President
Trump is now reviewing next steps, weighing options as the
regime's grip weakens by the hour. Joining us now is
(05:30):
doctor Zudi Jasser, United States Navy veteran, founder of the
American Islamic Forum for Democracy and author of A Battle
for the Soul of Islam. Doctor Jasser, thank you so
much for joining us this morning.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
It's good to be the Alison.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Thanks for having me absolutely well, doctor Jasser.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Are we watching the moment when fear breaks and a
regime begins to fall.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
There's no doubt, you know, if you look at how
we got here two thousand nine initial Revolution, the Green
Revolution that the Obama administration intentionally ignored. Twenty seventeen, there
was smoldering revolutions across Iran in which the mulahs and
their Islamic schools were targeted by citizens and demonstrated against.
In twenty nineteen we began to have the Women Life
(06:17):
and Liberty Revolution with Masaimani, who was killed and ultimately
awoke the women's movements. And now it's sort of a
sonic boom of revolutions where all thirty one provinces, as
you mentioned, are involved, and you have the alignment of
all of the factors necessary for the end of this regime,
(06:37):
which is economic struggles. We're over fifty percent inflation and
the currency is completely devalued and lost. The forces are beginning,
some of them are beginning to take off the uniform.
Now most of them have not. We see clerics putting
videos out, might be lying to save their hide, but
(06:58):
at the end of the day, some clerics putting videos
out saying they disagree and want to separate from the regime.
Foreign adversaries are no longer available for sort of that
Machiavelian enemy abroad where Israel now has completely contained Iran.
America's end of the nuclear weaponry that they were trying
(07:20):
to develop. So Israel, I'm sorry, Iran domestically and around
them is now sealed and this is the beginning of
the end of the regime, if not soon the end.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, doctor Shafts, I just want to follow up on
that because we're looking at these incredible videos of coming
out of Iran. I mean, have you ever seen protests
like this where people are willing to go out on
the streets and risk their lives. I mean, we've had
protests in the past, but this just seems different.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
It does for Iran. It's an all, all, all encompassing
demonstration that has now paralyzed for whatever the economy was
on the edge, it is now completely paralyzed. And the
key will be if they continue to keep it up,
which is why we need to get exposure of video
and international attention to what's happening. This is why they've
(08:18):
locked down comms, whether it's by phone, Internet, etc. Because
they don't want the world to see it, and they're
going to start using If you look across the Middle
East in twenty eleven when you had the Arab awakenings
country to country. A similar example on the Sunney side
was in Egypt when the Muslim Brotherhood took over. You
had demonstrations against them with millions that went to the
(08:39):
street in Egypt, and they tried to put it down
by weapons. And this is what they're going to try
to do in Syria with demonstrations week after week, twenty
five hundred three thousand a week were being killed in
Syria and ultimately what allowed that to continue for a
decade was the fact that the regime was getting weapons
from Russia, from China, from ere On, et cetera. If
(09:01):
Iran can't get weapons, if Iran, if the Iranian regime
cannot get money to feed and to pay its soldiers
at the IRGC. It won't last but a matter of days,
two weeks. If they get weapons and money to feed
and to pay their soldiers of the IRGC, they this
could continue for weeks with basically demonstrators being killed because
(09:24):
they don't have weapons. Remember, the people have no weapons
to fight.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
This actually brings up the next question, what do the
Iranian people still need to do to finally topple these
move laws? I mean, what's that final thing that they
might need.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
Yeah, I think ultimately sealing the border, making sure that
there's no financing, you know, weapons coming in from the outside.
There needs to be basically continued paralysis of the economy.
If you look Asad for years never went anywhere, and
then finally he was done. Why because Israel sealed the
(10:02):
border of Syria, Russia stopped feeding the regime and he
wasn't able to pay his officers for a month, and
in November twenty four he was done. So this is
going to be the same thing in Iran that people
need to keep it up. State of the streets, know
that the world supports them as praying for them. And
I can tell you this isn't just about change in Iran.
(10:22):
As a Muslim who's been fighting against radical Islam, theocratic Islam.
This is a once in a millennium, not even generation
or century, once in a millennium shift in the power
structure of Islam from the theocrats and the establishment across
the planet to the people, to secular movement, to the
separation of Moskin state, which is one of the greatest
(10:42):
signs for movement towards peace and liberty, towards Western ideas
that we've seen in the Middle East and the Muslim
world now for over a thousand years.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now, if there is the toppling of the regime there,
how does that affect us here in the United States.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
Well, I think this is one of the things we've
said in the National security realm, and I've testified to
Congress many times, is that ultimately, the best anti nuclear
program that could ever exist is the end of the regime.
Because right now, if they had nuclear weapons, it would
not be far fetched that these guys think that that's
the end of the world and the end of times.
They would have tried to use them to create armageddon.
(11:24):
So thank god, number one, they don't have it. Number Two,
it will tip the the influence of Russia and China
in the Middle East, unbelievably putting them on defense versus offense.
Because Iran was their cash cow, their oil cow, they
were able to have a place in the region. It
will completely disassemble Iran's influence in Iraq, which we lost
(11:46):
Obama handed that to Iran and then Syria already was
lost and part of the reason the regime is weakening
because they lost the ability to get those resources. So
it will bring back even better than we had in
the twentieth century thanks the Trump. President Trump's resolve sort
of realigning that where we were on the Sunday side
and the Russians were on the Shia side, there is
(12:07):
no more Shia side with the Hisbal law Hamas you know,
the Irgc terror organizations now no longer having the primary
funder of terror in the planet.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Go away, doctor Zudi Jasser, Thank you so much for
being here this morning.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
We appreciate you anytime. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Up next, the Portland Chief of Police is being mocked
online and going viral after breaking down in tears over
illegals and law and order. That story is next, as
American Sunrise continues, Good morning, We're looking at a beautiful
(13:00):
shot of Philadelphia there. Thank you so much for waking
up with us. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early edition.
I'm Allison Hans. Let's bring Mike COO anchor Brian Glenn
right back in.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Hey there, Brian, how you doing this morning?
Speaker 6 (13:17):
You know, alson, I was reading some stats before our
earlier guest. Food was up seventy two percent from year
to year. That's there, and I get in Iran and
then the currency is almost worthless. So the people are
just fed up. And once you learn kind of what
they're fighting and how bad that regime is there, it
(13:37):
makes sense absolutely and it makes us look like we
complained over eighteen percent inflation on Joe Biden in nineteen percent.
Imagine a look of bread being just absolutely unaffordable.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
So it's it's just crazy times.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Something extraordinary to witness out there on the streets of Iran,
just absolutely amazing. Well, turning now to a moment that's
going viral. Now we're back home and raising some serious
questions about priorities back in many in Portland.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now, Portland Police Chief.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Bob Day is being mocked online after breaking down in tears.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
This is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
While confirming that two illegal immigrants shot during a federal
encounter had suspected ties to the violent Venezuelan gang Trende Ragua,
the emotion, not the admission, is what's sparking the backlash.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Check it out.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
It saddens It saddens me that we even have to
qualify these remarks because I understand, or at least have
attempted to understand through your voices, your concern, your fear,
your anger. This information in no.
Speaker 10 (14:55):
Way is meant to despair, bridge or to condone or
support or agree with any of the actions that occurred yesterday.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Well, it's a stunning display and a window into how
far some leaders are willing to look the other way. Now, Brian,
I'm not trying to be insensitive here because this is
a terrible situation. But if that's my police chief weeping
at the press conference, taking a hanky out, dabbing his eyes,
(15:30):
that does not give me the confidence as a citizen
of Portland that this is someone who's going to lead
and protect and.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Serve your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I want tough cops, I want tough sheriffs. I want
people that when the criminals. Look at they say, that's
a badass guy. I don't want to cross that guy.
Did he cry when Lake and Riley was murdered, raped
and assaulted? Did he crime when these other people that
we've seen that we've lost in the hands of these
criminal gus, did they cry then?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Look?
Speaker 6 (16:02):
But what else do you expect coming out of a
very liberal city like Portland.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, but it's not only like a liberal city like Portland.
I think it's a larger question of masculinity. In masculinity, yes, okay,
masculinity in general, and I love, you know, tough, strong women,
but I also love strong, tough men, and I think
(16:29):
that roles are being reversed or tamped down at least.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Well, what's interesting I read a study that as women
became feminist and they're very strong, they tend to gravitate
towards weak men. So I see a lot of the
protesters at these events seem to be very weak men
because they are married or associated with very liberal white women.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
There is a correlation there.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
So we have completely just tossed out masculinity in something
that's almost toxic.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Now.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Yeah, so it's you know, don't be a toxic mel
don't don't be strong. And I love independent women. Oh yeah,
trust me. I love strong independent women. I think I knew.
But I also love strong men as well. And I
think that police chief God bless that community, because yeah,
I like to know what the crime stats are and
(17:28):
his and his uh in his city.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, we have a lot of liberal white women out
there showing up at a lot of these protests. And
we have some great video with David z Or out
in Minneapolis. We'll be bringing that to you later him
confronting or actually rather they were confronting him.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
He was a total gentleman. Staying with us because we're
bringing that up. It's going to be awesome.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Well, coming up when we come back, a Ron's moment
of truth. Why the next few hours could shape the
future of the regime that's next as American Sunrise continues.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Stay with us.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
All right, welcome back, a live look at Chicago.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Move by there a couple of weeks ago. Great city.
All right, welcome back.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Before we dive in, let's get a quick word from
our sponsor, Artillery Tea Company, the only America first veteran
owned tea brand. Their mission is simple, maximized flavor with
whole leaf blends and chemical free tea bags.

bring back Allison because she's brave and she joins me back.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I try to be getting up at this hours. It's
pretty brave for this lady.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Oh you're brave.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Oh, thank you, Brian. Moving on. Aron is teetering on.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The edge this morning as the regime moves to crush
mass protests that have spread across the country. More than
five hundred people are confirmed dead, with reports of protesters
shot at point blank range and morgues now overflowing as
Ayatola Ali Komeni orders a full crackdown despite warnings from
(19:51):
the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is weighing next steps,
including preliminary military option, as officials consider how to respond
to what could be the bloodiest moment of the regime's
final chapter. Joining us right now is bonochet zand a
journalist and analyst covering around.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Thank you so much for being here this morning. We
appreciate you.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, So what are your contacts inside around telling you
that we aren't necessarily seeing on state TV or social
media at this point.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
Well, first of all, there's no telephone or internet, so
as of the last sixty hours, it's been very sixty
seventy hours, it's been very spotty. So it comes and goes,
and that's their style. They throttled the internet. But I
want to bring up something that is very important to
(20:51):
me and it should be to everybody on the planet
who is watching you on This is not This didn't
start in two thousand and nine. You know, this has
been going on since nineteen seventy nine. Western memory unfortunately
doesn't go past a certain number of decades or years.
(21:13):
But for the ones of us who have been suffering
for forty seven years, this has been going on for
forty seven years, as I just mentioned, since nineteen seventy nine,
the nineteen ninety nine student uprising where a number of
university students were killed, where several of our students whose
(21:34):
photographs appeared on the Economist publication from Britain who went
to prison, some of whom were executed. Are these are
historical moments that is very disappointing for us who have
spent forty seven years of blood, sweat and tears lost
(21:57):
our loved ones. My own eighty year old old father,
who was a journalist and a public intellectual in Neuron,
spent seventeen years in and out of prison under torture
and interrogation, and was finally thrown out of the balcony
of his sixth floor apartment where he was under house
arrest at age eighty, and then the regime claimed that
(22:19):
it was suicide. Now we've been going through this for
nearly five decades. The forces of that regime are deployed
in this countrydual on an individual basis. They're not like
an army in the sense that you would think an
army would attack the country. They carry out terrorists attacks.
(22:42):
That's the reason why they are known as the biggest
sponsors of state terrorism. So let's put things into context,
and let's look at this in terms of the proper
historical timeline, and as far as we're concerned, the way
that people are chanting in Iran and it rhymes when
(23:05):
they chanted in Farsi. They said, this is the last battle.
Pah Levi, which is the name of our king, pa
Levi will return. So that's the context of how people
really should be looking at what's going on in Iran.
This is the nth protests that people have had. Every
(23:25):
protest has tumbled into a new phase. So in two
thousand and nine, what you actually saw, and this is
the thing that people are always getting wrong when they
describe it, is that two thousand and nine was the
year where all the factions came together. So if throughout
(23:47):
the decades workers were protesting, teachers were protesting, pensioners were protesting,
university students were protesting, every faction came together in two
and nine, and since then it has been a gestalt
a whole, an entire community, an entire society, of all
(24:12):
of the various echelons of society getting together and protesting.
So now this is what we're looking at here, the
culmination of fifteen years of a well rounded series of
protests of people from all guilds and all echelons of
society coming together, and the twenty twenty two massa Amini
(24:35):
protest should have been a reminder of the twenty two
thousand and nine murder of nedda Ava Soltan, who was
brutally shot in the middle of the street in Tehran,
and who's whose blood poor was pouring out of her
eyes and her mouth. So this is not the first time.
(24:55):
It's unfortunately, however, become a natural rual Western amnesia, where
the processes of the series of never ending protests and
desperation of people in Iran is concerned. Everybody's making it
(25:16):
seem like it's just economic. It's the farthest thing from
only economic. They kill people for absolutely no reason. They
are brutal dictators, and this has been going on for
forty seven years. It's not just because the seventy two
(25:40):
percent inflation. It's because people don't have electricity, they don't
have water, they have absolutely no freedom to wear what
they want. Their children are dragged away in the middle
of the night to be taken to prison and tortured
and then executed without the knowledge of the family. So
please don't just make it just about some economic hardship.
(26:03):
This isn't the economic hardship or Biden issue to say.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Let me stop you right there, Please stop like this,
ninety million people.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I understand. Let me ask you, how does this end?
How does this end?
Speaker 6 (26:15):
As an American we see we watched this play on
our on our TV screens.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Where does this end?
Speaker 6 (26:20):
Because the protests have become a revolution, are we at
the end of the revolution or the beginning of the revolution?
In the end of the protest?
Speaker 11 (26:31):
The revolution has been going on, as I said, for
forty seven years. This never ends.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
What happens. But when do we find people?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Yeah, when do we finally move to this to a
new error in Iran?
Speaker 11 (26:44):
When the people are able to get rid of this regime?
And when the when the White House stands by its
word and says that when it's going to go in
eight days ago is when Donald Trump said that if
they hurt a hair on a single protester's head. The
fact is that the numbers that we're getting of the
people who have been shot on the street is above
(27:05):
two thousand. So the fact is that right now the
Iranian people can't do it all on their own. Unfortunately,
we have tried for decades. Again as I will tell you,
but this is the fact that we are a people
who don't carry guns we don't carry molotov cop it's
(27:25):
only now that people are beginning to do things like
that they need help. They don't need boots on the
ground for the long term, because we have a Crown
Prince who has organized the structure of an interim government
that is ready to slip in and hit the ground
(27:45):
running and pick up from where it needs where it
was left off. So it has absolutely nothing to do
with American boots on the ground. NATO this that it's
just the people of Iran. And we've been saying this
for forty seven years that a country whose people and
the nation who hates the regime and the dictatorship that's
(28:10):
that's basically invaded it is needs to go by the people,
and that's what we're doing. We just need a little
help with protection against the bullets.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Understood, understood, Batasha, Thank you so very much. We really
appreciate you coming in and giving your perspective, and we've
learned so much this morning. Really really appreciative.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Coming up, an emergency above Earth, astronauts told to come
home now, the NASA decision rarely made.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's coming up next.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Welcome to American Sunrise, our early edition the show where faith,
freedom and the values that built this nation takes center stage.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Welcome back to American Sunrise Early edition. I'm Allison Hans,
happy to bring back in my co host Brian Glenn. Okay, Brian,
what does the President and the White House have on
the schedule today?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
That is a great question.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Coming up today At ten thirty he is meeting with
the Secretary of State, followed up by a one thirty
meeting with the Archbishop Cokeley. Three point thirty, there is
what it has described as a signing time, and then
finally at four o'clock the CEO of Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
All of that is in the Oval Office and we'll
bring it to you if it opens up to the
(29:53):
media right here in real America's plaice.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Fantastic sounds great, Okay. A rare and unprecedented move from
NASA this morning. For the first time in the International
Space Station's twenty five year history, NASA is ordering an
early return of a full crew after a medical emergency
in orbit. Officials say a Crew eleven astronaut experienced a
(30:19):
health issue aboard the International Space Station. The astronaut is
now stable, but the decision was made to bring everyone
home within days, NASA calling it a safety first decision
and stressing this is quote about protecting life above all else.
Joining us now to break this down is Emily Finn.
Good morning, Emily, Good morning, Allison. Thank you so much
(30:42):
for having me. Of course, this is being described as
an evacuation from orbit. I mean, how extraordinary is this
and are we learning more about what actually happened to
the astronaut?
Speaker 12 (30:53):
Well, Ellison, I'll tell you, I have so many questions, Okay,
Like I want to know what's going on. I've been
trying to go like full fbade, trying to investigate and
find out some answers because medical issue that's so broad.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I definitely want to know.
Speaker 12 (31:07):
But they're still being very tight lipped about the details
of what's going on up there in space. I was
able to find a LinkedIn post from Mike Thinkey. He
is the commander of the International Space Station. He's with
some of the astronauts, with the crew of astronauts that
is going to be coming home. A little bit early
in his post, he said, first and foremost, we are
(31:28):
all okay. Everyone on board is stable, safe and well
cared for. This seems like it's an abundance of caution
kind of decision that they ended up making here, Allison,
but really interesting the first time, as you said, in
their twenty five year history, that's something like this has happened.
So they were supposed to be coming home around February twentieth,
but they will be coming home Wednesday at five pm.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Is when they'll be returning back to Earth.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Okay, so this isn't just like someone having a cold
up there, and you know, you can't.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Go for like the Nike will and like fix this.
Speaker 12 (31:58):
No, no, And like I said, tight lipped, you know,
definitely keeping the privacy of the astronauts in their medical conditions,
you know, definitely private. But we'll find out eventually what's
going on, and hopefully everyone is going to going to
remain safe.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Now, Emily, all they need is a wellness emergency kit.
Speaker 11 (32:16):
That's all they need.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
We all send them up to space.
Speaker 12 (32:19):
Someone called Elon Musk get the rocket fired up.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
I mean anything from a tick bike to diarrhea to COVID.
I mean, I think they could probably handle it all.
We certainly wish them a safer turn back here.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
They even protect from alien bites too.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Brian em Away, thank you, Brian, thank you, Okay, changing
gears now. Over the weekend, anti ice protests erupted in
dozens of major cities, from federal buildings to state capitals,
with crowds, clashes, and a heavy law enforcement presence. David Zerr,
a host of Breaking Point here on Real America's Voice,
(32:56):
was on the ground at one of these protests when
the rhetoric earned personal and the harassment turned openly hostile.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Take a look, this is.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
What we're dealing with on the ground.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
That's right.
Speaker 13 (33:10):
Actually, I'm very respectful, and you're not respectful at all
in any way. I just want to ask, do you
believe in illegal immigration?
Speaker 14 (33:21):
Do you think US tax payers should be funding housing
for illegals and medical card?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Man?
Speaker 15 (33:27):
He is so intelligent, this man, he's got nothing to say,
He's got a lot to say.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I'm very respectful. I'm very respectful here.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
This is the mentality.
Speaker 14 (33:52):
This is the state of the United States right now. Uh,
this is what's going on here in this country.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
And joining us now is David Zir, the man himself. David, I, okay,
we were talking about crazy liberal white women out there
at these protests. I'm telling you, David, I saw this
before anyone here at the station showed me the video.
I saw this going viral on I think it was
like Instagram. I was laughing so hard and I'm sorry
(34:25):
it's a very serious moment, but David, come on, I
mean that was that was nuts.
Speaker 14 (34:31):
Operation to flex Somali fraud is in full effect. It
was like the zombie apocalypse, total mob rule, an invasion
of the body snatches where people single you out by
the masses and all screaming unison to attack us with
their handheld radios with their stupid ice whistles. We was
stalked like lions on the Serengetti for two hours straight.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
And you know, we had a.
Speaker 14 (34:54):
Few hundred people with eyes on us starting to shove us,
calling us Nazis and fashion blocking our path out and
they didn't even know who we were, and they were
just taking orders from the leadership there. And along with
Kevin Pasobic and Nick Sorter and myself and our brave
camera crew and the security there for us. There were
no other media on the ground. There was no police presence.
(35:16):
Shame on the Minneapolis Police chief. They hate ice, they
hate ice, and we should have been protected. We called
the police because it got violent at the end and
they never came. So this is what's going on in Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Now.
Speaker 14 (35:29):
This is a few blocks from in Powderhorn Park, away
from where Rene Good and George Floyd died. So these
people are adamant they don't want ice in their neighborhoods.
But you know this is ramping up, guys. You know
next week January nineteenth, they're having big protest planned there.
Mlk's Dream resists Trump's Nightmare, no Ice, no KKK, Free Congo, Sudan, Palestine,
(35:52):
and Venezuela firing up the Black bas for no reason
because this is what they do. And I just wanted
to add, you know, shame on the Minneapolis school district
for brainwashing a generation of children. You know, this is
Steve Bannon's Generation Zero, the movie he made fifteen years ago.
Because they have the kids of the liberals and the
hippies who are spoiled, spoiled kids brainwashing our kids. They're
(36:14):
promoting school walkouts. Elementary school walked out the other day.
Six year olds, eight year olds, ten year olds marching
against ice.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
It was really insane.
Speaker 14 (36:24):
And then Brandon, our cameraman, were in a restaurant minding
her own business, and this ring nosed Will Debeast came
up from behind us, hip checked me and threw a
hall shot fireball and his face no reason, calling us
Nazis and fastests, while her whip husband just stood by.
And you know what, she stormed out of the restaurant.
She shouldn't be how she shouldn't have kids, Social Services
(36:46):
should pay her visit. She did it in front of
her children, and we were just mining her own business.
She got triggered by the logos on our jackets and
that's it.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
David Affairs, I.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Want to say you are a badass man, because I
gotta be on it. I saw the video of Brandon
getting that shot thrown out of them, and I'm not
sure I would have probably handled it the same way
that you guys did. But God bless you for a
lot of resistance. Now, David, from what you see on
the ground, are these movements building power or are they
(37:17):
burning their own credibility Because the crazier they get, I
think they're losing the credibility from the rest of the
country that they're trying to bring on board with their
tactics here.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
I think they're growing. I'm worried about the mid terms.
Speaker 14 (37:33):
You know, there's a lot of regular people out there
who succumbed to this, right, there's a lot of people
who don't want ice.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
In their neighborhoods.
Speaker 14 (37:39):
I think the administration needs to do a better job
because a common theme on the ground there was that
ice are not trained, and they're not law enforcement people,
and they're just a bunch of proud boys running around.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
You know, and it's not what's going on.
Speaker 14 (37:50):
These guys are trained, and a lot of them are
cops already, and you know, we got to be very
clear about who we're rounding up. Do they have criminal record,
are they violent felons, or what kind of crimes did
they commit? Because the left is spreading this narrative, and
I think it's catching fire.
Speaker 5 (38:08):
So I'm concerned.
Speaker 14 (38:09):
I think this summer and now this was ten degrees
and you had five percent of the Minneapolis population in
powder Horn Park the other day and it's ten degrees
at with the wind chill. So imagine in July they'll
have another George Floyd type situation. You know, you can't
light anything on fire when there's snow on the ground.
So I think they're going to ferment this all year.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Long.
Speaker 14 (38:29):
Tim Waltz doesn't want the microscope on him. For the
Somali fraud. We spent two days with Scott Bessen on
the ground there, who has had a round table with
Somali fraud in Minneapolis. It was incredible, local people getting
together talking about all the fraud going on. And this
is going to be a powder cake. I don't see
it going away anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
And David, obviously the police didn't come out and do
anything for you.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
What's the latest?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Unbelievable, what's the latest with Mayor Fry.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
He's a jerk. You know he's out there.
Speaker 14 (39:02):
You know he's a jerk, and you know he doesn't
care about you know, civility and piece. You know, we
were at the protest in Minneapolis where they did send
in state troopers. Finally, after the hotel was surrounded with
the ice war, we watched people from ten feet away
break the door of the hotel canopy and try.
Speaker 5 (39:18):
To enter the hotel.
Speaker 14 (39:20):
You know, they're complicit, they're silent complicity going on here.
They want a revolution, they want a civil war, and
we can't give it to them. And you know, we
have to get some order and semblance. But we also
have to be better with messaging. And you know, again,
these people are sowing division in our country because they
(39:42):
hate it.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yeah, you know, David.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
Over the weekend, I've spent some time with a top
law enforcement agent in Texas and he told me, Brian,
the White House needs to refine their messaging on this
and say, look, we're targeting the criminals.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Were going out for them. We're not going out for
the poor guy.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
Who's doing lawns servers or doing a roofing that has
a company that's been there for.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Ten years, paid his taxes.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
Because that's what the American people are ultimately against us
rounding up what would be considered good people that are
working in the community. They want us to go out
these criminals. So I do think there's a messaging issue
that we need to make sure that the White House addresses.
Speaker 14 (40:19):
I agree with that, And yeah, I was in the
street with the people in the neighborhood after the paid
agitators left on Thursday night, two days after the shooting,
right wherever Nate Good was shot, and the people I
had a civil dialogue with them when they don't have
the agitators around them. I was able to make some
headway and talk to them and listen to what they said.
But they're not educated, they don't believe in the rule
(40:40):
of law, and you know, but they don't want ice
going and kicking down doors and residential neighborhoods. So there's
got to be something that, you know, bridges the gap here, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (40:51):
And can we bring up the audio real quick of
the badass that one more time, the chance we have that.
Speaker 13 (40:59):
On a ground, that's what Actually, I'm very respressful and
you're not respressful at all.
Speaker 11 (41:08):
Anyway, I just want to ask.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Do you believe in illegal immigration?
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Okay, we gotta go, We gotta go, David, Thank you
so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Keep it up out there. You are a badass.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
When we come back, the situation in Iran is changing
by the hour. The latest developments coming up next. Welcome
(42:02):
back to American Sunrise. We are looking at a live
shot of wee in Chicago or we in Chicago, I
think so, or maybe New York City.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Anyway, welcome back, Thanks so much for joining us. I'm
Alison Hans.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Let's bring back in my co host Brian Glenn and
joining us also is American Sunrise host David Brody.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Good morning, David.
Speaker 16 (42:29):
Hello Alison, Hello O'Brien, good.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Morning too, the morning. Top of the morning to you.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
You've been saying for a while now not to take
our eyes off the unrest in Iran, that you've definitely
been on top of that. What's your what's your take
on the possibility of the Islamic Republic falling back into modernity?
Speaker 12 (42:50):
Right?
Speaker 16 (42:50):
Well, obviously that isn't really the biggest story. The biggest
flory is clearly the Golden Globe Awards last night, But
beyond that is the top story clearly in the world
right now. Look, I think it's just a matter of time.
It's just a matter of time. This has been going
on for a couple of weeks. It starts with inflation
and all the economic problems there. But let's be honest,
(43:14):
if Trump didn't nuke the nuke sites, if you will,
back in July, I'm not quite sure we're here at
this point. Once again, I'm not suggesting that the economic
problems in Iran wouldn't be present anyhow, of course they would.
They've been present for years and years there.
Speaker 5 (43:33):
But I think that strike.
Speaker 16 (43:36):
Going after the nuke sites in July, I believe I
think when the final story is told, will, in essence
show that the Iranians over there got a little bit
more hutzba if you will after that, to know that
America may indeed have their back. Now that raises a
whole other issue, which is, wait a minute, is this maga?
(43:58):
I mean, once again, I feel like it's always coming
down to this question.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Is Venezuela maga?
Speaker 5 (44:03):
Is Iran maga? Maga?
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Did I just say maga?
Speaker 5 (44:06):
What is what? Am I British maga? Why don't people
say maga?
Speaker 16 (44:10):
I don't get it anyhow, That's a separate issue, sir,
So I don't know. I'm curious to get your guy's
take on this because listen, strikes inside Iran while this
is going on. Uh, I'm not going that doesn't feel
like a bingo card maga situation to me. Correct me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
But you know, listen, I get it, I get why
they do it, But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (44:34):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
I mean, we'll talk, we'll talk about it.
Speaker 6 (44:36):
I tend to agree with you to a certain extent.
But now it kind of makes those strikes that we
saw on those nuclear facilities a little bit more strategic,
because now you're right, the Iranian people have a little
bit more you know, you know, kicking their step now
to stand up and fight.
Speaker 11 (44:54):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
And I think we're talking to the break.
Speaker 6 (44:57):
If I Ran seriously has a nuclear weapon, this is
when they would use it if they have one right now.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
So maybe those strikes make sense back in the summertime.
Speaker 6 (45:08):
But real quickly got about forty five seconds left. David,
what do you think Americans should be focused on right now?
If we're going to talk about Maga, Maga, Maga, Manga,
to what.
Speaker 16 (45:22):
Voices are going to win the day? I think is
really the question when it comes to Maga, that's really
the bottom line question. There is an internal fight, as
you know, Brian, over.
Speaker 5 (45:30):
What is Maga.
Speaker 16 (45:32):
Donald Trump says he came up with Maga, so he'll
decide what Maggie is. I'm not necessarily convinced of that.
I know he came up with Maga. That's fine, but
that still doesn't mean that there's not an internal war,
if you will, kind of going on within Maga as
to what the future of Maga will be. And I
think that's where we keep our eyes focused and it's
going to be.
Speaker 4 (45:52):
Look, I think the.
Speaker 16 (45:53):
Jd Vance, Mark or Rubio situation. I know they're friends,
but as we go to twenty twenty eight, I think
that's going to be the delineation line. I mean, Rubio's
a version of Maga. I know establishment neo Khon got it,
got it, but he is a version of Maga at
least under Trump, and jd Vance is obviously Maga as well.
So then where's the I think that's kind of like
(46:14):
a little bit of the schism, if you will, okay.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
The future eyes on Maga. Thank you so much, David.
We will see you in a few moments. American Sunrise continues.
David Brody will be back in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Have a great day. We'll see you tomorrow.
