(00:24):
of the Trump administration over the weekend. Will the move

later anti Ice protests After an ICE agent shot Renee
Good in Minneapolis. The liberal demonstrations are spreading across America. Meanwhile,
the FBI leading the investigation. But how are local officials responding?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
That and so much more is ahead as American Sunrise
starts on a Monday in January. Right now, Good morning, America.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Welcome to American Sunrise.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Wellbert's Culture.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
We have breaking news to share with you.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Politics.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
We've got your couple. This is what it looks like
to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
The American dream is still alive.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence, and.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
I'm doctor Gina. Good morning everybody. I'm doctor Gina. Happy
Monday to you. We are live with you from the
Palm Beaches. Let's bring in David Brody in Washington, DC
and Terrence Bates in our Denver newsroom.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Good morning, gentlemen. Hope you had a great weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I hope you did too.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Drinks absolutely Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
I have to say, this was such an amazing weekend
with Lego Man Productions in Dallas, Texas and all of
the REV viewers. They are crazy about you too. You
have no idea what the fans following you and this
show have. Yeah, it was really really fun to be
there and to hear all the people that watch us
even morning, So thank you to all of them.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
My ego is awesome. Thank you absolutely, and I'm glad
you had a great weekend there in Texas and that
you're back safe and sound. Doctor Gina, I want to
shift the conversation, if you guys don't mind, to Iran.
The world quite literally watching the situation they're unfold as
protests have become deadly. We're hearing that more than five
hundred people have been killed in the crackdown from the

(02:31):
government there on those protesters. More than ten thousand people
supposedly in prison following the protest. President Trump keeping a
very close eye on this situation, also considering reportedly some
sort of US intervention. In fact, he talked about that
last night aboard Air Force One.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
Some people who did from Iran to engage people that
age Milo forgot to negotiate and what do you for.

Speaker 7 (02:53):
You whether Ron?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:56):
Against people at Nicky they call yesterday, I called to negotiate. Yea. Yes,
the leaders of Aron called. They want to negotiation. I
think they're dying of being beat up by the United
States striche. Iran wants to negotiate.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yes, we may meet with them.

Speaker 8 (03:19):
I mean, it's the beating is being set up, but
we may have to act it because of what's happening
before the meeting.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
But a beating is being set up.

Speaker 7 (03:29):
Iron called. They want to negotiate.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
All right, David, I'm going to go to you first
because you believe this is the biggest story in the
world right now. But what we just heard Iran wants
to negotiate. When I hear that, I take my head
and like, you can't negotiate with Iran. That's not negotiation
and good faith your thoughts though.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, No, I agree with you on that, and I
think it is the biggest story in the world, not
in the United States, but in the world right now.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
It is a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
So first of all, well, I understand where Trump is
coming from here. Okay, you know, Iran is a bad actor,
and if the regime falls, that's good for Middle East
stability the way he sees it, because Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Is a partner and that that will help.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
You know, he wants to do the Abraham Accords Part
two with Saudi Arabian Israel. I kind of get that, though, Gina,
I got to tell you, I'm concerned. I'm concerned that
this isn't necessarily maga at all. I think President Trump,
I hate to be critical, but let me be critical
for a moment. I think he's falling in love with

(04:38):
being the peace president, and I think he wants to
put this on his resume, if you will, to say, hey,
I helped free and liberate the Iranian people from a
horrible regime, and that's why he might strike inside Iran.
I'm not quite sure if we should be going there.
The jury is still out on this. I'm still formulating
my opinion on it. But that's where I'm at at

(05:00):
least that's where I land this morning.

Speaker 9 (05:02):
Right.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
You mentioned that on Friday, and I thought it was
very insightful and it's sort of a you know, repositioned
my template to watch the news from, because I think
it's something to keep an eye on. If I do
look on, you know, on social media and look at MAGA.
There's some criticism, although not as much as I would

(05:25):
think because if you really look back at what MAGA
was concerned about during the election, this wasn't what they
were talking about.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Now.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Could they have shifted? Are they just being lulled for
a moment. I don't know the answer to that. But
here's what I think is motivating President Trump.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
That is a bit.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I understand to some degree the psychology happening here. He realizes,
I think this is me guessing, and I have not
discussed this with President Trump. This is me guessing. But
he realizes that there's not a lot he can do domestically,
that the Democrats can't walk in and reverse, and that
he doesn't have the numbers in Congress to codify most
of what he does domestically. Where he can make a

(06:05):
lifelong difference and really leave a legacy is on the
international scale.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
So that's sort of what I don't know. I'd love
to get your feedback on that.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
But that's sort of the psychology I think might be
happening in Trump's head. I'm not saying that it's one
hundred percent what Maga was asking for, but I am
asking you, David, if you think that's part of what's
going on in his head.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Possibly, possibly, but you're right hard to really tell.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I just think that he believes that, you know, acting
is in the best interest of peace, and that's where he's.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
At right now.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I mean everything, you know, what does he say eight
and a half eight and a quarter wars that he solved,
Now he can make it nine and a quarter.

Speaker 9 (06:45):
I mean, he.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Loves to keep that tally sheet, and I think we
shouldn't discount the tally sheet. He keeps bringing it up
every single day. And the reason he brings that sheet
up is because that's where I think that's where his
heart's at.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, make till you to have this converse.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Say it's where he can take this and yes, and
we will conte agree.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
We're I guess off, doctor g but we are going
to continue to have the conversation. Do want to get
to our Bible verse really.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Quick EXITDUS thirty three fourteen is the Bible verse, and
he said, my presence will go with you, and I
will give you rest.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Those are the words of a God himself.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Let's now bring in Maryland Congressman Andy Harris, Congressman UH,
what do you think about the uh international versus the
domestic activities of President Trump?

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Will this result in.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Some sort of attack as David mentioned, on the ground
in Iran? Are we going to get ourselves into a
war there? Or do you think that this will ultimately
result in in real peace? And how much can I
Ron be trusted? As President Trump said, they want to negotiate.
What do you make of all of that?

Speaker 10 (07:58):
Well, Aron wants to negotiate, but but you know, President
Trump's pretty tough negotiator. The bottom line is that Iran
as an enemy. They have crowds chant death to America
all the time. Now, of course, now the protest crowds
are not The protest crowds want to be want to
be freed from the tyranny of the Iran regime. We'll
see how it plays out. They're not gonna be boots

(08:18):
on the ground that you know, whether special forces are involved,
they might be the Obviously we can do a lot
by air, that's the way Israel has attacked Iran before
in the past. But look, this is a this is
a terrorist regime that hates America. It hates what America
stands for. And the President should do everything he can
to remove the regime and restore democracy to Iran.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
That includes strikes inside Iran.

Speaker 9 (08:44):
What's that?

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Does that include strikes inside Iran?

Speaker 11 (08:48):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (08:49):
Look, if necessary, if we need to strike again, just
like just like Israel did, just like we have in
the past. Uh, that that should include that they are enemies.
The bottom line is that they have said death to America.
That's the that's what the run regime, that's their chant.
The bottom line is that we can negotiate with them,
but it's like negotiating with Russia. You have to be

(09:11):
careful and you know, trust but verified. But in this case,
the President is right. We should support the protesters and look,
if that involves bringing down the Iranian regime, then.

Speaker 9 (09:23):
So be it.

Speaker 10 (09:23):
They are our enemies.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, and the key is no boots on the ground,
surgical strikes.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
And I think Gina to your point earlier, I think
Maga trust Trump, and I think that's a big part
of this. Like it it was someone else, they'd say
no way. But with Trump, they know he wants to
get in and out and he's not going to do
nation building, not going to do boots on the ground
for sure. All right, So Congressman, let me ask you
about what's going on with Ice specifically. We've heard a
lot of talk by Democrats. Specifically, it's been really vitriolic.

(09:52):
If you will, got Governor Tim Wallas Minneapolis Governor Jacob
Fry basically describing the situation in Minneapolis in very stark terms.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
To have a look at this.

Speaker 12 (10:04):
If you look at what Governor Walls has said, if
you look at what Mayor Fry has said, They've extremely
politicized and inappropriately talked about the situation on the ground
in their city. They've inflamed the public, They've encouraged the
kind of destruction and violence that we've seen in Minneapolis's
last several days. And I would encourage them to grow up,
get some maturity, act like people who are responsible, who

(10:26):
want people to be safe, and the right thing to
be done. When you use the kind of language that
you use against law enforcement officers, they lose their credibility.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Seems like there's a powder keg brewing there. Congressman.

Speaker 10 (10:40):
Yes, but you know, the bottom line is that I
suggest Governor Wall should go back and look at the
founding of the United States and what it is. It's
a group of states that have agreed that the federal
government is going to enforce border security. It's in the Constitution.
And the whole problem starts when these local jurisdictions don't
allow their law enforcement to cooperate with border enforcement. That's

(11:01):
the bottom line. You know, the ICE should not be
doing traffic control that should be done by local jurisdictions,
and when they refuse to cooperate as they should do
under the constitution, this is the logical result. The bottom
line is that states have the obligation to defer to
the federal government on border enforcement and on an ICE enforcement,

(11:22):
they aren't.

Speaker 9 (11:23):
And that's wrong.

Speaker 10 (11:25):
That's just not the way the country is set up.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Congressman, before we let you go, I want to talk
about the powder keg. The surrounding FED Chairman Jerome Powell,
he of course, now is under criminal investigation. We're hearing
over the cost overruns of the FED headquarters construction can
you give us some inside baseball as we're hearing that
the investigation really centers on the testimony he gave before

(11:51):
your colleagues there in the house, specific to the scope
of this renovation project.

Speaker 9 (11:57):
What do you know?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
What are you hearing inside the halls of.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Well?

Speaker 10 (12:01):
The bottom line is, I'm not sure why Powell was
trying to cover up what happened over at that renovation.
But like a lot of things that happened, the cover
up is worse than the crime itself. The bottom line
is that there was mismanagement in that renovation. They were
building a taj Mahal and told people they weren't. The
bottom line is Jerome Powell should be held liable for

(12:22):
his testimony before Congress.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
I don't know why he was trying to hide the costs.

Speaker 10 (12:26):
Obviously it would come come to public scrutiny, but that's
what this is all about.

Speaker 13 (12:31):
Now.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
I'm Menadi Hereris, thank you so much for your time.

Speaker 9 (12:36):
Thanks, thank you.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
Coming up, we check out the hottest headlines from the
rav Newsroom with t Bass. Also later the end of
an era, TBS aired its last episode of its weekend
news show What does this mean for the network? After
Trump has cut its federal funding. We're going to break
it down ahead on American semonies.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
That is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, going to be thirty two degrees
at game time tonight, Steelers hosting the Texans.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
What is this a sports cast?

Speaker 9 (13:30):
No, it's not.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
It's American Center.

Speaker 9 (13:31):
IZ.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Welcome back, everybody. I'm David Brody coming up. I don't know.
We have a lot of stories.

Speaker 9 (13:36):
How's that.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
No, We're going to go around the globe and talk
to Jonathan Gilliam here in a moment about national security
issues basically everywhere in the world.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Okay, how's that for generic first tea.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Bate standing by with the latest headlines from the Real
America's Voice newsroom sponsored by AMAC.

Speaker 14 (13:49):
The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice
for Americans fifty and older. AMAC is fighting for the
values that you hold.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Here.

Speaker 14 (14:00):
Joined today, together, we can write the course of America.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is under criminal investigation this
morning related to the Central Banks renovation of its Washington,
DC headquarters. The US Attorney's Office in the District of
Columbia's looking into whether Powell was being honest during its
congressional testimony about the project. The New York Times reporting
at issue is whether the FED chair accurately characterized the

(14:27):
scope and the cost of the renovation. The price tag
for that renovation has climbed to about two and a
half billion dollars. You probably remember the infamous face off
between President Trump and Powell over the project's cost overrun.
The Commander in Chief publicly dress pal down over the
funding while turning the construction site. You can see it
happening here or this is kind of pictures of that interaction.

(14:52):
US mortgage rates are at a three year low. Analysts
say the situation could get even better thanks to President
Trump's order for the purchase of two hundred billion dollars
worth of mortgage bonds meant to drive mortgage rates lower.
For investigate for investors, excuse me. The bonds are an
opportunity to profit from people from people's monthly mortgage bills.

(15:14):
Since these are government backed bonds, investors have added security
if homeowners default on the mortgages or fall into foreclosure.
Mortgage rates are now below the six percent level for
the first time since twenty twenty three. Iran is threatening
both the US and Israel saying that they are quote
legitimate targets if the US forces. If US forces, excuse me,

(15:38):
join in to protect demonstrators in the Islamic Republic. However,
just this morning, there is reporting out and we just
heard from President Trump that the US may meet with
Iranian officials, as the commander in chief says the regime
wants to negotiate its nuclear program. Meantime, the ongoing government
crackdown on demonstrators there has killed at least five hundred

(15:59):
and thirty eight people that was at last checked, more
than more a fear to be dead, and more than
ten six hundred people have reportedly been detained over the
last two weeks of the protests. Making matters worse, the
internet across the country is down and phone lines have
also been cut, causing an information blackout and making it
really difficult to gauge just how bad the government crackdown

(16:21):
truly is. Meantime, President Trump AND's national security team are
said to be weighing a range of responses to the
situation in Iran, including cyber attacks as well as direct strikes.
We of course, will continue to talk more about that
throughout the day. Now, though, let's get a quick check
of your forecast Whether Nation Meteorologists Tracy Anthony joining us

(16:41):
with more and what you can expect today. You also
see the QR code there at the bottom of your screen.
Go ahead and scan that right now and join our
friends over at Weather Nation TT Tracy, good morning, Good
to see you.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Hey, good to see you as well.

Speaker 15 (16:53):
You know, pretty quiet across the country. As you look
at the map, you can see there's not a whole
lot going on. We have a ridge of high pressure
that's keeping us pretty calm and stable. So when you
have high pressure, you have sinking air or a stable environment.
So a lot of us are going to be feeling
the sunshine here throughout the day today. Now, temperature is

(17:15):
going to be trending above average with a mix of
sun and clowns. But the Twin cities forty three, Denver
fifty six, Phoenix seventy one, So we're going to continue
that trend of being above average by a good five
to twenty five degrees. Now, we are expecting big weather
changes into the week this week where we do have

(17:38):
several more systems that will be impacting the country, So
high pressure and control for the next two days, and
then we're tracking that next system bringing rain and snow
across the eastern US, and we could get some snowflakes
pretty far south. So I'll break that forecast down here
next hour, and Terrence, I want to also break down
some hometown forecasts.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Looking forward to the hometown forecast. And if I can
request that my hometown forecast here in Denver doesn't include
any snow. You can keep all that stuff to the
south and to the east, please keep it away from
us here in Denver. Thank you, crazy, thanks. See, that's
why I love you. That's why my girl. We're gonna
again have your hometown forecast coming up in the next hour.
And you just saw the QR code there at the

(18:21):
money of your screen. You can always scan that as well.
Coming up here on American Sunrise. Though, as we've been
talking about this morning, President Trump considering military action in
Iran as protests there sweep that Islamic Republic ahead. What
could diplomatic solution entail? As the President says that Iran
is ready to negotiate first though, a quick look at

(18:42):
this day in history, It was on this date in
nineteen sixty nine that the New York Jets pulled off
one of the biggest up sets in sports history. By
defeating the Baltimore Colts sixteen to seven in Super Bowl three,

(19:06):
Jets quarterback Joe Namath had confidently guaranteed a victory, even
though his team was an eighteen point underdog. Namath backed
it up though, with the big win that gave the
AFL its first Super Bowl title. The game is remembered
as a turning point in professional football history and a
defining moment for Namath and the sport. Also probably the

(19:28):
last time the Jets actually had a decent team. David Brodie,
that's for you.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
More.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
American Sunrise coming your way in two minutes.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
All right, that's Pittsburgh. Come on, we've all been to Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Right?

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Has everybody in America been to Pittsburgh?

Speaker 9 (20:06):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (20:07):
I have?

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Premante Pimante Brothers, help me out in the chat. I'm
going to the chat, you know, with the sandwiches, with
the fries. Oh my gosh, it's so good. The fries
are like literally inside the sandwich. Welcome back, everybody to
American Sunrise, all right. President Trump reportedly weighing potential military
action in Iran and a mid excuse me, mass protest
and a deadly government crackdown. More than five hundred and

(20:30):
thirty people have been killed. That number keeps going up,
by the way. Trump has been briefed on military options,
including strikes on Iranian security targets, but he has not
yet made a final decision.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
We'll let you know when that happens. Huh. I think
the whole world will know.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Iranian leaders have warned they would retaliate if US forces intervene.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
You know, okay, whatever, bring it.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Let's not bring in former FBI Special Agent Navy seal
Jonathan Gilliam back.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
With us on the program. So Jonathan helped me. I
have a lot of questions about Iran.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
First of all, do you think Trump's gonna actually pull
the trigger and strike inside Iran?

Speaker 4 (21:08):
And square this with how this is maga? And if
it's not maga, is it just Trump supporters saying well,
we trust Trump?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Like in other words, if this was Biden or if
this was a neo khn president, you know, like whatever,
Mitt Romney, we'd be like, oh my.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Gosh, they're going to nation build. This is horrible. Boots
on the ground is next. But with Trump, it's like, no,
it's Trump, we trust him.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
And to a degree, I understand that because he's been
no boots on the ground, get it and get out.

Speaker 16 (21:38):
What's your take, Well, first of all, I mean that
Trump has been successful at everything he does pretty much,
and so it's difficult to sit back and criticize what
he's doing because if you look at the totality of
the circumstances of everything that he gets involved in, typically
he's right. The choices that he makes are correct, and

(22:01):
I think in this case the speed at which he
does things confuses people, because some things he rushes right
into and other things he takes his time. I think
with Iran he's dealt with it very cautiously.

Speaker 9 (22:18):
But as we've seen with the when we bomb them,
when Israel was just.

Speaker 16 (22:22):
Taking it to them, he got involved just enough to
take out their nuclear program.

Speaker 9 (22:28):
Now what we see is that kind.

Speaker 16 (22:31):
Of what Israel started or they didn't start it, but
they really made this possible in a lot of ways,
is that they showed that Iran is a paper tiger.
And I think that President Trump understands the significance of
what's happening now because all the people there that want

(22:51):
to be free are beginning to rise up and stay out.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
That's another thing.

Speaker 16 (22:55):
This isn't just a hey, let's go out protest and
then we'll all go to bed tomorrow.

Speaker 9 (23:00):
These people are staying out.

Speaker 16 (23:01):
There's over a five hundred, close to six hundred people
that we know of that have been killed and they're
staying there. And I think the fact that President Trump
has made it known to those people that he is
considering this has probably given them a tremendous amount of
motivation and that will allow them to actually be the
ones that overthrow this regime.

Speaker 9 (23:23):
And one last thing on that is.

Speaker 16 (23:25):
That people have to realize they have to sit back
and realize nineteen seventy nine that Iran has been at
war in their mind with the United States, Israel, and
really the Western world since then. And when there's a
chance to get rid of somebody like that, then sometimes
it's okay to pile on.

Speaker 9 (23:42):
And do what you need to do to help those
that are trying.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
To overthrow Jonathan, I'd like to follow up really quickly
because I'd like you to expound, if you will, on
the US national interest and potentially getting involved in Iran. Obviously, yes,
Iran is an adversary. This said death to the US
and it is a danger with its potential nuclear program.

(24:05):
But beyond that, what would the national interest be for
America to get involved in Iran and help to ouset
this regime.

Speaker 16 (24:13):
Well, Iran is an enemy, and people need to realize
it's not just that we say they're bad and they
say we're bad, and so they're our enemy. They have
been striking the United States and our interest since nineteen
seventy nine proxy wars that they ran against Israel through
HESBLA and Hamas. We fund Israel's ability to fight those

(24:34):
wars and stay alive. We a lot of our equipment
is over there, our money is over there, our interests
are over there.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
And so.

Speaker 9 (24:44):
Despite or besides Israel.

Speaker 16 (24:47):
Around the world, Iran is one of the top five
intelligence agencies in history in the world. And we have
to realize when we see these protesters here in the
United States trying to make people believe that Hamas is
great and they have the plight of the Palestinian people
at heart, and it's a worthy that is Iran. Iran

(25:08):
and their intelligence services and their propaganda, they are consistently
causing issues in the United States to the point where
people are getting killed inside our country because their heads
have been filled with propaganda spewed by Iran. So Iran
touches this nation on a daily basis in ways that
people just don't quite realize. They think it has to

(25:30):
be a direct hit by a bomb in order to
cause destruction in this country, and that's just not true.

Speaker 9 (25:36):
They have been.

Speaker 16 (25:36):
Spreading power and money to all of our enemies Venezuela
for instance, and then they've also been dividing this nation.
They take a huge part of the division in this
country is because of Iran.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, no doubt, Jonathan.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
I was watching MSNBC this morning and they said that
Trump is hypocritical in supporting the protesters in Iran while
shutting down protesters in the United States with ice. Just
wanted to get your take on that and give you
a chance to refute that sort of ridiculous assertion.

Speaker 16 (26:18):
Well, first of all, like I just said, those protesters
over in Iran are fighting to overthrow a regime that
hangs gay people, that beats and kills women for wanting
to speak, that will take a young child, for instance,
who stole something from the market. I heard this from

(26:40):
a colonel gave a speech at the UN when I
was there. This nine year old boy stole an apple
from a cart, and so the cart owner went and
got all the kids around the village and brought them
and then to watch him set the boy on the
ground with his hand on a bean bag and then
he ran over his arm with a truck, just forming

(27:00):
his arm forever.

Speaker 9 (27:01):
And he did that as a lesson to the kids.
That is the enemy of Iran. That's who they are.

Speaker 16 (27:08):
And so I think, I just think when you listen
to the groups like MSNBC and they talk about how
they say ridiculous stuff like Trump doesn't support protests here,
but he does over there. Those people are fighting for
their lives. The people that are protesting here, they're fighting
for a cause every single day. That's different because they're narcissists,
they are altruistic, and they're brainwashed.

Speaker 9 (27:32):
Anybody doesn't believe that, go look at their faces.

Speaker 16 (27:35):
They're either on meth amphetamine, some kind of speed, or
they're just crazy that these people that are out there,
there's no purpose to their argument and no quality purpose
to the protest that they carry out.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Jonathan Gillian, great to have you with us as always,
Thank you, sir.

Speaker 9 (27:51):
Stuff to have a great week, all.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Right, Yeah, great, stuff.

Speaker 9 (27:54):
I agree with you, bait.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Sorry, coming up new research on weight loss drug studies
show is is impic. We'll go The users may regain
most of the weight within a year after stopping.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
We're going to talk about it when we come back.

Speaker 9 (28:07):
Everybody.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
Look at those busy little squirrels there on the grounding
gay Lord Michigan. That looks like some powder that I
could get excited about skiing on.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
How about you.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm dot thanks for joining us.
It is time now for today's health news sponsored by
the Wellness Company. Under the microscope today, what happens if
you take the gop ones and then you stop taking them?
What happens then the gop one weight loss drugs? Were
discussing you study from Weight Loss Popular It says that

(29:03):
drugs popular drugs like Ozimpic and wigo V may not
last if you stop taking them. Researchers found many patients
regain the weight actually within a year. On average, users
lost about thirty pounds but gained back twenty two pounds
if they stopped the medication.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Now a lot of people don't stop the medication.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
A lot of people get a maintenance dose and then
they don't regain the weight, but if they do stop completely.
Experts say healthy lifestyle changes are key for long term success.
But I think probably as we move forward in this
there'll be maintenance management programs and maintenance management doses of

(29:43):
the gop ones and other peptides by the way that
will help maintain weight loss and healthy new lifestyles. A
new administration in Washington, DC has brought a lot of
positive changes when it comes to fixing our broken healthcare system,
There's only so much government can do. Making America Healthy

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Well, by the way, can I just say I love
when you say give it an order. That's also very impressive.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
I don't say that. I don't say, hey, give it
an order. I just say order it. But you say
give it an order.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Said that that funny.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Well, it's not a proper it's just an athlemb it's you.
It's just authentically you.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Yeah, authentically me given an order. Give David Bodie order.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Okay, give me an order and I'll take it with
some extra mayo.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
We turned now to the fallout from the story that
obviously everyone is talking about around the country, the shooting
death of Renee Good by an Ice agent in Minneapolis.
Now Minnesota officials. Minnesota officials said they will review the
incident after the FBI blocked state investigators from the case.
State leaders say Washington is shutting out local authorities and

(31:29):
limiting transparency. The FBI, on the other hand, insist it
will handle the investigation, raising questions about federal control and
accountability and law enforcement cases. So let's get some clarification
on all of this and bring in attorney and former
Senate Chief of Staff Chuck Flint. Chuck, thanks for being
here this morning so help us through this a little bit.

(31:50):
I mean, clearly the Feds don't trust Minneapolis officials, so
how unusual.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
Is this to fully take over the investigation. What happens
next kind of explain some of what's happening here. Good morning, David.

Speaker 17 (32:04):
Great to be with you. It's a federal investigation. There
was an ice agent involved. He's a federal officer. But
I want to make a couple of points quick. People
had been dissecting this for days. It happened in a
split second. A federal officer was hit by a vehicle
being driven at him, and he responded appropriately because that
vehicle was a deadly weapon. The second point that I

(32:27):
would make is that this woman was not some innocent bystander.
She was just not on her way home the way
that Doc Rivers, coach of the NBA's Milwaukee Buck said.
She was a left wing foot soldier in their war
on ice. She was a part of Minnesota Ice Watch.

Speaker 9 (32:42):
This is what she did.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
This was her job.

Speaker 17 (32:44):
In fact, she had been out earlier in the day
blocking ice vehicles and in the video that's been circulating online,
you'll notice that her car was perpendicular in the street.
She was doing that intentionally so that she could block
ICE vehicles from doing their job. They were conducting an
active investigation and it's going to be appropriately reviewed by

(33:06):
federal authorities.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Oh no, that's not true at all.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
The mainstream media told me that she's a loving mother
of three who had just dropped her children at daycare
when ICE agents attacked her.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
That's what I heard on MSNBC this morning.

Speaker 17 (33:24):
Well, doctor Gina. One of the things that's interesting to
know if you look at her behavior, she had been
doing this, as I said, all day. She was actually
ordered out of the vehicle multiple times and she refused.
That tells you a lot about her mindset. She was
not there to comply. She was not there in any

(33:45):
type of capacity other than to interfere with police officers
trying to do their job. And by the way, it's
a real dangerous job. There's a reason they call it
the thin blue line, and that's because that thin blue
line is the only thing that stands between low all
binding citizens and anarchy in the streets. And we're seeing
it right now. You're seeing just how thin that thin

(34:06):
blue line really is.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
No, the pictures they showed of her, Just as a
follow up comment, the pictures they showed of her, she
looks literally like the glowing virgin Mary Mother of the Year.
And that's should not what she looks like in that
truck at all. She looks like a paid blue hair,
pink haired rebel, you know, freak.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Anyway, go ahead, David.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yeah, Look, Chuck, let me ask you a little bit
about the legality of this case. I mean, I guess
it's all going to be litigated. It's going to go
to court, not litigated, but it's going to go to
court criminal trial. I'm assuming what do you think happens here?

Speaker 9 (34:41):
And what's.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
I guess where I'm going with this is there were
three shots, right, and my sense of it, one through
the windshield and then two on the side.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Is that going to be problematic? The two on the side, like.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
The one on the wind shield, right, everybody's like, okay, yeah,
it's coming at me, I gotta shoot.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
But then the two on the side into the wind window.
What about that? I think that might is that more controversial?

Speaker 17 (35:04):
David, We're getting into this now, dissecting the whole thing,
frame by frame. The standard that's going to be used
is what would a reasonable officer in his position have done?
He had a split second to react. And it's important
to note it doesn't matter if he was right or wrong.
It's what a reasonable officer in his position would have done.

(35:25):
He had a split second to react. He was hit
by this vehicle which was a deadly weapon in the
capacity that it was being used. And who's to say
what her mindset was. That she may have been trying
to hit him, she may have been trying to get away,
and he was right in her way, But certainly his
actions were more than reasonable. I have reviewed that video

(35:48):
numerous times, and he will be cleared.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
One hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
I mean, she did hit him, She did hit him,
she did right.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
Yeah, And this is a man who had been dragged
underneath the car by another processor.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
I challenge anyone watching this.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Who is agreeing with the liberal narrative on this to
consider if this had been a maga person driving this
car in a Biden administration, would they feel the same way?
And I can just absolutely guarantee you it would be
a whole different oh, a whole different person.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
One million percent it would be on MSNBC or MS
NOW whatever they call themselves over there, that outfit. They
would say, well you know that, officer. I mean, these
maga folks are out of control. You had to do something,
you know for sure?

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Okay, he is a split sa resonable position. Yeah, thank you, Okay, well, okay,
thank you so much. I appreciate you being here. We
got to have you on another time.

Speaker 5 (36:43):
Sorry to catch there's more to talk about this for surely.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Thank you all right, plus we'd like to hear ourselves talk. Okay,
coming up. PBS's News Weekend edition is off the air.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
The network confirms the show's been canceled and federal budget
cuts are the reason.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Is Big Bird next?

Speaker 1 (37:03):
That story more ahead, Ernie Burt, all those guys whatever,
Oscar back in.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
A moment, Welcome back.

Speaker 18 (37:28):
Coffee pods are easy, but most of them are just
caffeine and nothing else. Rejuvenate pods are built differently. They're
clean pods infused with CAAAKG, a compound link to longevity, metabolism,
and deep cellular energy. It's the easiest way to get better, focused,
smoother energy, and long term benefits without changing your routine.
I choose them because they match the lifestyle. I want

(37:50):
more energy, more clarity, and more intention and how I
start my day. If you're going to drink coffee anyway,
make it one that actually supports the life that you're building.
Head to seven teen seventy five Coffee dot Com, slash
rav and try rejuvenate pods today.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Don't just drink coffee. Rejuvenate all right.

Speaker 18 (38:07):
Now that we are caffeinated, it's time to stay awake,
not woke, And today we are discussing woke news and pbsbyes.
The network's news weekend edition aired its final broadcast Sunday night,
after they confirmed the program has been canceled. The network
cites federal budget cuts and a broader restructuring of staff

(38:27):
and programming. The decision comes as public broadcasting faces major
funding losses. PBS says some staff will transition to new projects,
marking the end of a long running weekend news show.
Let's now bring in Terrence, doctor Gina and David Terrence.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
What say you? What are your thoughts on all of this?

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Well, it's interest.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
It's going to be interesting to see what comes next.
The reshuffling of staff. Let's just be honest, the mentality
is still going to stay the same largely, and so
I'm curious to see what the network will ultimately do
where that staff will go. We don't expect much of
the same kind. We won't expect much of the rhetoric
that we've seen historically to change. But just in what

(39:07):
form or what form will it take, That's what I'm
curious to see. And again, for me, this all comes
down to federal funding, like federal funds shouldn't be used
for PBS or some of these other networks, and so
now they're having to live in a new era and
having to find better uses of their money or different
uses of their money. And if we as consumers choose

(39:27):
to watch and find then if we choose not to watch,
then that's fine as well. They'll be okay, David.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Well, PBS always says it's we need those donations with
from viewers like you, is what they say. Well, you
know what, here you go, viewers, knock yourself out. You
got an opportunity because the government's not gonna support you.
But another liberal show bites the dust.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
I believe it's a song from Queen if I'm not mistaken,
or it might be the sequel.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
But you know, where am I going to go, Gina
to get my liberal news? I mean, there's no place
in America to get liberal news.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
So I'm just I'm devastated, as you might imagine, but
I'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
But thanks for asking, Gina.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
Yeah, plenty of options out there, and this is a
great point for the great place for the free market
to make its case. And certainly there are plenty of
places for them to go. There's no doubt about that.
This is not the role of government. The role of
government is very very clearly enumerated in our constitution, and

(40:29):
we need to get back to it. We need to
doge the rest of all of this and get back
to the constitutional enumeration. One thing I wanted to say
this weekend, we were at this event and I was
there with the founder of gibsond Go and in her speech,
she said, don't talk about parallel economies anymore. And I

(40:51):
thought this was interesting because you know, I talk about
parallel economies on this show all the time. She goes,
we don't want to be a parallel economy. We want
to be a replacement economy. We want to replace. We're
not trying to rab is not trying to be parallel
news to MSNBC or CNN. We want to replace them
and make them go away because we want to wake

(41:11):
up the consumer and say, hey, we're telling you the truth.
You should watch us instead, we should replace the mainstream media.
I just thought that was just an amazing point she made.
So the words parallel economy will no longer come from
my mouth. It will be replacement economy.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Isn't that nice? I like that narrative.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Yea, it is.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
By the way, just real quick, I know we tease
something about about whether or a big bird is next.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
I just want to be clear, says mean streets not
going away, just you know. However, however, this is important.
The Corporation of Republic broadcasting.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
That Congress is nixeinge, if you will, ninety percent of
the funds Typically for local stations, they get about ninety
percent of their funds from Congress. So in other words,
New York and Chicago and LA they're fine, you know,
but those local, smaller markets do get about ninety percent
of their funds from those federal funds.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
So big bird, who knows, may not be seen and
maybe uh you know, air.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Quote Podunk, Iowa or wherever. It is no offense to
anybody in Podunk, Iowa. I'm just simply saying that, just
that that there's a little bit of a They all.

Speaker 5 (42:20):
Have phones, they all have phones. You can get any
of that on your phone.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
Well, yeah, you just go to YouTube.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
It's just it's just not the.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
Day where any of that is relevant. The analog television,
you know, people not having anything and oh god for
big kids had to read a book instead of watch
a show.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah, I live fact that, you guys too. I'm sorry,
doctor Gina.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Let you guys tell it. I don't really have a phone.
This right here is my Android. I am not Team iPhone,
and you guys ras me all the time. This isn't
a real phone.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
So it's not a real phone. This is my life.
Actually it's not my phone, it's my life.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yeah, certainly. I used to call it my husband's little
girlfriend because okay, all right, too funny. All right, Well,
coming up, God and you.

Speaker 18 (43:07):
A powerful new book is shedding fresh light on the
connection between the Old and New Testaments and how both
of those threads point directly to Jesus. Our moment of
faith is next. As American Sunrise continues.

Speaker 7 (43:36):
God bless the US.

Speaker 9 (43:40):
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Terrence Bates. It's now
time for our moment of faith, which is brought to
us by Lee Greenwood and God Bless the USA. Bible
in Focus today a new book with massive insights into
faith transformed by the Messiah. You see it right here
on your screen. This particular book explores how connections between

(44:13):
the Old and New Testaments reveal God's intentional story for
our lives, and it also offers rich insights into Jesus' birth, ministry, death,
and resurrection. It challenges readers to see scripture and high definition,
discovering prophecies and promises that point to a life changing
faith and a deeper understanding of God's plan of redemption.

(44:36):
Let's bring in the author of the book, Jason Sobl,
Rabbi Jason Soble, Rabbi Sobal, good to see you as always.

Speaker 9 (44:42):
Jelo, It's always great to be with you. Thanks for
having me absolutely so.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I'd like to start kind of with a broader view
of what's happening today. Obviously, much of the world is
focused on the ongoing situation in Iran with the various protests,
are there parallels biblically if you will spiritually to what's
happening today, and does prophecy, if you will, to some degree,
prescribe what we're seeing.

Speaker 19 (45:07):
Yeah, of course, I mean Persia, which is in modern
day I Ran, It's Persia in the Bible, and they
play a major prophetic role in the events that the
Bible tells us that are going to happen at the
end of days. We read in the Book of Ezekiel,
chapter thirty eight and thirty nine about the War of
Gog and Magog, and Persia plays a major role in

(45:30):
that battle, and so we see what was true in
ancient times is also very true today. The Bible is
telling us what is going to happen, and he's setting
it all up.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
You know, it's often said that you learned from the
past so that you can do better in the future.
What lessons have you learned through your research and through
writing this book that can maybe guide us towards being
better humans, towards being better stewards of God moving forward?

Speaker 19 (46:00):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean I think what happened in the
beginning is a picture of what is going to happen
in the end. And when I think about this, I
mean when I think about what Jesus did for us
on the cross. Why did he dine across because Sin
entered the world through a tree, and so he died
on a tree, and he was pierced in four places.
He had a crown of thorns on his head. Why

(46:21):
because he came to break the curse of creation, and
he came to bring physical healing. He had his hands
pierced because he came to bring about relational healing, because
our hands took from the tree. He had his side
pierced because he came to bring about emotional healing. And
so he died so that we might experience physical, spiritual,

(46:44):
and emotional healing at his feet pierced because the first
Messianic prophecies, the feet of the woman would crush the
head of the serpent.

Speaker 9 (46:52):
And because of what He's done for us.

Speaker 19 (46:54):
On the cross, there's now spiritual, emotional, relational healing, wholeness
and transferation.

Speaker 9 (47:01):
Available to us in our lives.

Speaker 19 (47:03):
No matter what happens in the world, we can have wholeness,
peace in shalom with Jesus when we replace our faith
in him Rabbi Soba.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
We'll have to leave the conversation there, but it's always
good to talk to you, always good to get your perspective.

Speaker 9 (47:17):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Thank you. We're back with the second hour of American Sunrise.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
After this, coming up on the second hour of American Sunrise,
take down that flag. Anti government protests in Iran. That's

(47:45):
not in Iran, but they're doing it in other countries too.
They've spread to all thirty one of the country's provinces
as the.

Speaker 4 (47:51):
Trump administra administration begins to weigh a possible intervention.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
We're gonna have coverage on the latest developments throughout the show,
plus tens of thousands march to protest ICE and the
shooting of a woman in Minnesota as unrest deep ends.
The Trump administration continues to maintain the shooting was done
in self defense.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
We're going to bring you the latest details as they come.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
About and later.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Oh my goodness, yes we're talking about her, Hello, Elon.
Minnesota congresswoman and leftist squad member Elon.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
Omar reportedly kicked out of an.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
ICE facility during a routine visit along with other Democrat
lawmakers just another weekend for Elon.

Speaker 4 (48:30):
We'll have those.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Details, those stories so much more as the second hour
of American Sunrise starts right now.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
Good morning, America.

Speaker 5 (48:42):
Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking
news to share with you.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Politics.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
We've got your couple. This is what it looks like
to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
The American dream is still alive. I'm David Brody, I'm Terrence,
and I'm doctor Tina.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
Welcome back, everybody to the second hour of American Centrize.
I'm David Brody, coming to here from DC.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Let's bring in doctor g and Wes Palm and of
course t Bates in our Denver newsroom.

Speaker 9 (49:19):
Good morning to both of you.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
So I'm not necessarily a betting guy, but can you
bet on political events, because like what's the over under
on when the regime falls and Iran? Like what's the
plus minus or whatever they call it, I don't know
what they call it on President Trump doing some strikes
inside Iran.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Gina, I don't know, but there's got to be a
betting app for that. I would assume I don't know.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Oh, I'm sure.

Speaker 5 (49:47):
I'm sure Polly Marcus has exactly that that bet for
you if you want to. In fact, I'll look it
up and see what the numbers are, because I do
enjoy looking at that. I think it's an important consideration.
It's different than and what we've ever done in our
past is a way to gauge what's going to happen politically.
But I'll tell you what, it's insightful sometimes to look
at these betting apps and see what people are thinking,

(50:09):
regardless of what the issue is. Even President twenty twenty eight,
what's going to happen in the midterms?

Speaker 3 (50:15):
You know, death pools, all the rest of it.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Tea Bates h David, would you like to place a
wager on Jerome Powell going to prison? A steak dinner?
Maybe Doctor Gene already owes me one so you can
join the fray? Would you like to place a wager?

Speaker 1 (50:29):
No, I'm good, I'll bet your Meli kava, but no,
twenty percent.

Speaker 4 (50:34):
I'm going twenty percent on that.

Speaker 7 (50:35):
Twenty percent.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
Gets no one ever goes to prison.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Okay, how are we going to go from twenty to
five percent? What do we do? Never mind?

Speaker 4 (50:43):
I'm zero percent. I agree with Gina.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
Yeah, no one ever goes around. I'm sorry, I'm such
a cynic on this. Just I feel like no one
ever goes to prison. I'm with our chat on this, like,
it's just since someone to prison for crying out loud.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
We've been waiting for this for so long, So.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Go to prison. Oh my goodness, that's hilarious. So look,
here's the story that I was kind of alluding to.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell under criminal investigation related to
the Central Banks renovation of its Washington, DC headquarters. The
US Attorney's Office in the District of Columbia is looking
into whether Powell was being honest during this congressional testimony

(51:24):
about the project. The New York Times reporting that at
issue is whether the Fed chair accurately characterized the scope
and the cost of the renovation. The price tag for
that renovation, by the way, is climb to about two
and a half billion with a B dollars. Well, the
next time you visit the National Portrait Gallery at the
Smithsonian Museum, you won't see any references to President Trump's

(51:47):
two impeachments. The previous wall text accompanying the current president's
picture from his first term included mentions of that impeachment. However,
that text has now been removed. At last check, there
was no extended text at all, and the President back
at the White House this morning, safe and sound, after

(52:07):
his motor cab was rerouted and route to the airport
on Sunday. The White House says a suspicious object along
the route the President typically takes to the airport in
Florida forced that change. It was found during security sweepes,
but at this point there's no confirmation relative to what
that object was. We'll continue to work at that angle
of the story as well. That's a quick check of

(52:28):
your headlines. Now let's get a quick check of your
forecast with Weather Nation mediorologists Tracy Anthony. She's got one
of my favorite parts of the show, our hometown forecast.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
Tracy, good morning, Hey, good morning.

Speaker 15 (52:39):
I'm taking you out to Ashland, Nebraska. This coming in
from Eric on YouTube. You're going to be nice and
warm the next couple of days. Temperatures just shy of
sixty degrees, but the cold frint. I was mentioning, what's
really going to shake up our weather from coast to
coast is really going to impact you. By Wednesday afternoon,
Hive thirty seven, you're going to drop actually two more

(53:02):
seasonable levels, but it's going to be a dramatic drop,
going from fifty eight to thirty seven. And then overnight
temperatures in the team, so bundle up. Those windchill values
will be even colder. So this is that push of
cold air that's going to be taking over midweek. We
could even be talking some snow for areas in the south,
so brace for that next push of Arctic air. The

(53:25):
rest of us calm and quiet for now to start
off the week, as that radar looks relatively calm and quiet,
so just a few spots with a few flakes flying.
So Terrence, it's pretty quiet out there right now. But
by midweek, things are going to get a little more active.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
All right, thank you so much. Tracy. Will check back
with you tomorrow. I have a great and warm rest
of the day. Since you're there in South Florida. I
wish I was there with you, but that's a whole
nother issue. All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow. Let's
get over to David now. David, good morning, sir.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
All quiet on the weather front instead of the Western front.
All Right, Iran T Bates is issuing a sharp warning
to Washington, as you know because you cover it.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
We've been talking about all morning.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
We've got deadly protests continuing to grip Iran, with demonstrations
entering now a second week and reports of one hundreds killed.
The Iranian regime accusing the US of interference.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
Of course they are.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
President Trump considering how and when to respond now here.
He was speaking to reporters on the issue yesterday.

Speaker 4 (54:26):
Take a look.

Speaker 6 (54:29):
Spreads of a serious I think.

Speaker 8 (54:30):
Said you think so, CNN? Don't you think so? What
do you say that they probably do it this point
after going through it for years with me being hit
Salibati altback, Daddy, the Iran nuclear threat wiped out, don't
you think? And then you just had Venezuela. Don't you think?
She says CNN, do you think they take your threat seriously?

(54:54):
What do you say they do after all of the
things we've done? What a stupid question.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
I believe the alq on that sound bite was stupid question.
Join us now with analysis. Is former Congressman Louis Gohmert. Congressman,
You're not stupid? You're the antithesis of that. So what
is your best guess here, sir? Do you think the
president will strike Iran? Is that a good idea?

Speaker 4 (55:19):
And I don't know what else to ask you at
this point, So how about it?

Speaker 9 (55:23):
Well, yeah, you.

Speaker 13 (55:24):
Don't need to ask if the Runian leaders are taking
Trump seriously.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Of course they are.

Speaker 13 (55:31):
They are taking him quite seriously. And it all depends
on the Iranian leaders, but they do. They continue to
keep hitting their own people, and that's what Trump says
is going to provoke him to take action. But let's

(55:52):
look at what has provoked this. It is the currency
is just collapsed in Iran and why as that? Well,
the actions that the Trump administration has taken squeezing Iran financially,
have really taken a toll. And this could have happened

(56:15):
years ago. But you look at the Obama administration.

Speaker 7 (56:19):
What did they do?

Speaker 13 (56:20):
They sent billions of dollars of cash to Iran, and
the Biden administration sent billions of dollars of cash to Iran.
This could have happened years ago, the suffering could have
been over for the Iranian people, but now it's coming
to a head. I was speaking in our many in

(56:43):
their first national prayer breakfast and dinner just in November,
and people there they border Iran on the north and
some of the people there were telling me they had
people streaming out of Iran. They could see that this
was coming. They were telling them this was coming, that

(57:06):
things were already looking very badly back in November. So
this has been coming, and it comes from what President
Trump's administration has been doing, and he will hit them
again and the I totally knows that for sure.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Congressman President Trump purportedly been briefed on the situation and
potential military options there US military options specifically in Iran.
Many and MAGA of course, asking if this is a
good use of our military resources. I'd like to get
your perspective. How you see this from a MAGA or
America first perspective? Should the United States be military involved?

(57:48):
In part two of that question, what do you see
the US national interest in Iran being if any?

Speaker 13 (57:55):
Well, Iran has been responsible for so many Americans being
killed over the last well fifty years, at least since
nineteen seventy nine when President Carter welcomed the Ayatola as
a man of peace, and the world has been paying
a heavy price ever since. So President Trump he's weighing

(58:21):
all the options. He's looked at cyber options of hitting them.
But you know some are worried, oh no, he's starting
another war. Well, he took out their nuclear capability, hitting
the three sites that only we could hit, only we
could take out. Israel couldn't do that because they didn't

(58:44):
have the bombs. They didn't have the wherewithal to carry
the bombs. So yeah, he's this.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
Is a serious option.

Speaker 13 (58:54):
But the people have risen up and you see different figures,
but some from fairly trustworthy sources say they've arrested more
than ten thousand people. Hundreds have been killed in the streets,
and more are being killed. But it's coming to a
head here and President Trump is very serious about, you know,

(59:18):
taking out the head of the snake so that these
people can be killed. And one thing I can promise you,
there won't be a mistake made like was made during
the George H. W. Bush, now a new president. HW
Bush met with numerous times. I really like the man,

(59:41):
but during his presidency he made the mistake of saying,
if the Iranian people rise up.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
We will be with them.

Speaker 13 (59:50):
The people took that to mean, okay, if we rise up,
America will come to our help and we can overthrow.
And so they went to the streets and they were
wiped out, and President Bush didn't mean we would come
to their aid. When President Trump says we will be
with you and we'll help you, he's not kidding. He's

(01:00:12):
not going to leave you to be wiped out in
the streets.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
There is no doubt about that. He's going to finish
the job. Congressman, former congressman, thanks for being here. We
always appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
Thanks Congressman, thanks so much.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Good to see you.

Speaker 13 (01:00:28):
One other things. But elin Omar the Babylon Bee reports
that she's had to tell her brother it's time we
see other siblings, and so our condolences go out to her.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
And on that note, we are so glad we kept
you for an extra twenty second.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
And we miss you in Congress.

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
Oh my goodness, now my makeup is running. Thanks a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:00:55):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
All right, thanks gods.

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Okay, you know what, let's just go to brand Shaw.
We I need to clean up here, all right. Back
in a moment.

Speaker 18 (01:01:20):
Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Emily Finn. Time now
to drain the swamp, and this morning we are flushing out.
Eric Swalwell, the California lawmaker, and other Democrats are moving
to strip ICE officers of key legal protections as questions
mount over whether a federal agent should face consequences for
what the Trump administration calls an act of self defense.

(01:01:41):
Lawmakers said the shooting of thirty seven year old Renee
Good has exposed what they call a dangerous lack of
accountability inside ICE. Now, a new bill called the Ice
Out Act would remove qualified immunity for ICE officers, making
it easier for them to face civil lawsuits and in
some cases, criminal charges. More, let's bring in David Brody,

(01:02:01):
doctor Gina, and Terrence Bates Gina. This doesn't really seem
to make a whole lot of sense to me here.
I mean, this was a crime that was committed.

Speaker 5 (01:02:10):
Well, Emily, if you watch the lamestream media right now,
you would never know that. You would never know that
it would be that President Trump is directing ICE to
kill you know, peace loving protesters. That's really how it's depicted.
It's astonishing to watch their skew of this entire story.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
David Yeah and jd Vance went to the podium, the
White House Press Secretary or the White House Press briefing
excuse me podium last week and was livid.

Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
I've never seen jd.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Vance quite that animated, and he was really upset about
the media's treatment of all of this.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
So, Gina, you're absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
And by the way, news to Eric, his bill's going nowhere.
A couple of reasons. Oh maybe there's a few. Number one,
the Republicans control the Senate. Okay, I'll excut you. The House, okay,
so let's just put that aside, because a lot of
rhinos there.

Speaker 4 (01:03:07):
So let's say it gets past the House.

Speaker 9 (01:03:09):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
The Republicans control the Senate, Okay, so there are some
rhinos there.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
So let's say it gets past the Senate. Oh, there's
the President of the United States. Yeah, I think he's
going to veto that bill. Yeah, so there's that. And
by the way, they don't have the votes over other veto.
So with that math, Terrence over to you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Yeah, you're right, that bill is dead on arrival. You
know what's a shame here is that no matter if
you look at the video, I think it would be
hard for any reasonable person to look at what happened
just to look at the video and look past the
fact that the agents asked the woman to get actually
ordered her to get out of the car on a

(01:03:49):
number of different occasions, and she refused, and then she
tried to pull off and actually hit one of the agents.
But even beyond that, she evaded the orders of law enforcement.
All of those things are illegal, and would you know,
and yeah, you hate anyone to be killed, but that's
the kind of response that happens when you don't follow
the orders of law enforcement and you put them in jeopardy,

(01:04:12):
they are forced to react. And I think it's just
obvious to anyone that just looks at that. The fact
that we've been having this discussion is a shame in
my mind, But that's just me.

Speaker 18 (01:04:21):
Yeah, I would have to agree with you, and I
think it's a shame that Eric Swalwell is wasting everyone's time.
To David's point, it's done on arrival, it's not going anywhere.
So what is the purpose of even even doing this, Gina, Well, the.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
Purpose is to make money, the purpose for his campaign,
That's what it is. It's all about money.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
It's all about getting some more folks to donate, you know.
Twenty five dollars from grandma or grandfather or any anybody
for that matter. I don't know why say grandma or
grandfather could be anybody anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
I would add, though, David, that I think part of
the purpose is also to make these agents think twice
when they're reacting, and that's dangerous. They have to go
with their first mind. You have to react, I mean,
that's part of the job. In a situation, you have
to make a split second decision. And when you begin
to second guess yourself, when you begin to start thinking

(01:05:09):
about the potential implications of acting, that puts lives in danger,
and that's dangerous in my opinion.

Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
Yeah, and there's another camera angle on this. I just
want to make sure everyone has seen it. I don't
know if we have it from the front of the
car where it actually shows her literally hitting it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Yeah, there you go. That's it. Yeah, that angle, I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:05:32):
That is using a deadly weapon against a law enforcement officer.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
Plane and simple, Yeah, plane and simple.

Speaker 18 (01:05:41):
All right, Coming up, we are headed down to Wall
Street for the opening bell and insight into how to
hold on to your hard earned dollars with some common sense.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Now. We're getting ready for the opening bell at the
New York Stock Exchange. It's set to ring here in
just a few minutes, six minutes to be specific. Here's
a quick look at the futures. As you can see
it's kind of up and down the top of our board,
all in red. That's not necessarily a good sign. The
major indices, the Dow S and P five hundred and

(01:07:20):
the Nasdaq are down right now. Crude oil is also down.
Hopefully all of that will change though, once the opening
bell rings and trading for this Monday begin. We'll take
you there live here in just a moment, but first
let's get you back over to David Brody okay Ta Bates.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
So, we have anti government protests in Iran. They are deepening.
We've talked about it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
We've got mass demonstrations spreading to cities across that country
amid a crushing economic crisis. They've got sorey inflation. Some
analysts say the unrest could push the regime to the brink.
Human rights groups say hundreds have been killed, a security
forces cracked down. The government has shut down the internet,
even though you Musk is doing his part to get

(01:08:01):
starlink up and running. Their phone networks are down, so
communication is not good. President Trump considering, as we've talked
about an intervention, but many of his supporters are asking,
is this really a maga priorities?

Speaker 4 (01:08:13):
So let's talk about it doctor g and T to
talk about kind of the maga aspect of this. Let
me start with this, Gina.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
You know, I was looking since nineteen seventy nine, Iranians
are responsible for killing roughly six hundred Americans since nineteen
seventy nine.

Speaker 4 (01:08:26):
That's a low estimate, by the way. And so if
people will say.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Wait, Iran attacked us, Yeah, yeah, they did through whether
it be all of the proxies that they've got Hesbellah
and Hamas, and they've got bombings overseas at our military bases,
all of the proxy so you're never going to see
you know, Iran is such a whim right, I mean,
we know they're a paper tiger, but they let others
do the dirty work. And all that dirty work has

(01:08:50):
led to six hundred or so Americans being dead. That's
called a national security interest. And we haven't even begun
to talk about some of the other ways that Iran
you know, a sex Americans through cybersecurity, oil, etc.

Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
Yeah, they're sort of like the you know, the the
useful idiots of the bullies of the of the world
out there, you know, the China's and the Russias of
the world. They can do things that China and Russia
couldn't really do to Americans and get away with it.
So China and Russia employ them to use those tactic

(01:09:24):
tactical advantages on Americans. So you're right that count is
probably really low. So there's no question they are an
extremely bad actor. But I'll tell you when I look
through the comments and the chat, there are a lot
of people in MAGA out there who say this is
just not where they wanted the focus. Now, my question
back to them would be, if President Trump can accomplish

(01:09:50):
squelching some of the evil that this regime has exacted
on its own people and on Americans and on the
Western world, then and then if he can still tackle
the domestic issues that you're concerned about, then is it then?
Is it something that you would say is okay? But David,

(01:10:11):
you always make the point that if it were Joe
Biden doing this, then what would people say?

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
I don't know, Terrence.

Speaker 5 (01:10:16):
There's just a lot in my head and I'm not
completely sure where I stand on it, to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
So you guys have probably noticed that my question on
this all morning long has simply been what is the
US interest? And David, you've enumerated a number of US
interests in Iran that would potentially guide US engagement. I'll
use that general term US engagement, and in that respect,
I think it would be fair. But what I'd actually
like to see is that the President engage others that

(01:10:45):
he engaged Israel, which of course is consistently being threatened
by Iran. I'd also like to see the President engage
other countries like Saudi Arabia, other Arab countries who we
are now of course working closer with to keep peace
within the region. I'd like to see those countries be
more engaged in helping to quell the situation there in Iran.

(01:11:08):
And I'd like to see them really have a military
investment and other investments in this issue, so that we
wouldn't have to have necessarily boots on the ground, or
that we wouldn't have to be the major aggressor in
terms of helping to deal with that. That's how I
would ultimately like the ultimately'd like to see all of
this be settled. Whether that will happen or not, who knows,
but I think that might be a good course of

(01:11:29):
action to have others do the work and have others
be engaged and invested in.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
Yeah, that's going to be you don't well, no, no,
not with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is going to be
a hands off approach to this because they want to
see what transpires in Iran. They don't want to be
a catalyst there. It's a Sunni shi. I think they don't.
They don't want to get involved in any of this
right now, Let Auran and the regime take a hit.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
Go ahead, what we're gonna say. I get you, I
agree with you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
They don't want to be involved. But I think at
this point we've got we've got some strings that we
can pull to force them in again. For me, it's
about everyone being invested. I don't think President Trump is
also said about often said about Russia. Look, we've got
an ocean away from US. Well, those countries regionally are
closer to Iran than the United States is. So they

(01:12:21):
should have more buy in because the potential impacts could
more directly or immediately impact them. I get they may
not want to, but you know, you got to get
on the pod or get off. And I'd like to
say something else, but we'll just leave it there.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
All right, sounds good? Let's go to well, you know what, TVATES.
You have a lot more to say, but it has
to be about the New York Stock Exchange.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Sorry, another thing that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
Here's the bell with TVATES. It's sponsored by AMAC.

Speaker 14 (01:12:50):
The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice
for Americans fifty and older. AMAC is fighting for the
values that you will dear. Joined today, together, we can
right the course of America.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
All right, So we're getting ready for the opening bell
at the New York Stock Exchange. You hear the applause.
The bell is now ringing, which means the markets are
officially open. So let's take a look and see where
the stocks stand right now. We're going to put up
our board here momentarily, and then you'll have a better
idea of how things are looking not looking so hot.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
At the top of our board, the Dallas and P
five hundred and the NASDAC are all in the red.
Hopefully by the end of this day of trading, though,
it will all be in the green. And if you're investing,
you'll have made a little mint, or at least a
little something. On New Year means new financial goals, like

(01:14:51):
here on American Sunrise. Protests escalate in Minnesota over the
weekend in reaction to the shooting of a thirty seven
year old woman by an Ice agent last week. We'll
have the very latest developments after the break. We'll go anywhere.

Speaker 5 (01:15:34):
All right, Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm doctor Gina.
Thank you for joining us this morning. We invite you
to hop in our conversation on YouTube, get her and rumble.
It is time now to take the political pulse of America.
Here's the beat today. Minneapolis remains on the edge after
another massive show of force in the streets. Tens of
thousands of people turned out despite bitter cold temperatures as

(01:15:56):
protests over the shooting of the woman who tried to
ram her into an Ice agent continued. The Trump administration
insists the agent acted in self defense, but local leaders
say the video tells a different story, turning the protests
over to over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:16:13):
During the protests over the weekend, there we go.

Speaker 5 (01:16:15):
Police have made arrests, officers have been injured, and hotel housing.
Federal agents have been targeted as well. Minnesota came into
the spotlight in recent weeks after a viral video by
citizen reporter Nick Shirley revealed millions of dollars in taxpayer
dollar money. We're going to an empty daycare center, along

(01:16:36):
with a host of other fraud issues that were related
to the Somali community in minne aapolists and this is
outraged taxpayers.

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Joining us now.

Speaker 5 (01:16:44):
Is more with national political reporter Neil McCabe. Neil, A
lot happening here. Ironically, Nick Shirley was sitting at my
dining room table on Saturday night and we were watching
this go down between I'm going to be honest, watching
the folk game as well, but we were watching this
go down and he's kind of looking at the phone

(01:17:05):
his phone saying, Wow, this is just amazing, and we're
all kind of sitting in live watching this as this
was continuing to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:17:11):
I have to admit I was a little surprised.

Speaker 5 (01:17:14):
As much activity took place as it did, because the
colder temperatures usually keep the protesters at home.

Speaker 11 (01:17:24):
Yeah, I think you have to step back a little
bit and say that this really isn't about an unfortunate
tragedy at an intersection where you know, an ICE agent
shot a driver.

Speaker 21 (01:17:36):
What's really at play here is, you know, control over
the government.

Speaker 11 (01:17:40):
And you have a group of people, very fancy, elite
people who have run this government for decades and they've
set up this system and they see, you know, sort
of working class, working Americans, blue collar Americans, finally getting
a voice in their country again through Trump, and they
don't want to let go. And one of the sort

(01:18:01):
of the key sticking points is, you know, are we
going to allow people to hire illegal wage slaves to
do their to mow their lawns and wash their cars
and brush down their horses, or we're going to force
people to hire Americans. Working Americans want those jobs. They
will do those jobs. You just have to pay them
a living wage. And there's a lot of people who

(01:18:22):
just do not want to pay Americans, and they're willing to.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Fight over it.

Speaker 11 (01:18:25):
It's almost like the old Civil War when they you know,
it's almost like if the Confederate said, listen, it's about affordability, right,
we can't find Americans who want to pick this cotton.
That's the kind of crazy thing that we're hearing now
from the people in Minnesota and from these leftists all
over the country.

Speaker 4 (01:18:40):
Doctor Gina, Well, that's an interesting analogy for sure. And
you're talking about control of the government.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Let me go to another analogy about that, have a
control of a regime, because that's what's going on in Iran. Neil,
how you got these anti regime protesters, as you know,
they've engulfed.

Speaker 4 (01:18:55):
The entire country.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
Iran's foreign ministry now saying it's ready for war. They're
also saying they got the situation under control. So these
people are a piece of work. Anyhow, this comes as
President Trump considers some of his options or a possible intervention.

Speaker 4 (01:19:12):
An intervention.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Yeah, that's a nice way of putting it against the
Islamic government there.

Speaker 4 (01:19:16):
So Neil, what do you think?

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
What are some of your views about where this White
House goes from here? I mean, obviously Trump is serious.
We've been having a discussion this morning about whether or.

Speaker 4 (01:19:28):
Not this is MAGA or not.

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
I think if it was a let's be honest, if
it was a neo Khon president, or if it was
Joe Biden, there would be a lot of skepticism in MAGA.
And right now there is some skepticism in Maga.

Speaker 4 (01:19:41):
Let's be honest about this.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
They don't think boots are going to be on the
ground necessarily, and they don't necessarily think it's going to
be nation building, but they are concerned for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:19:54):
I think what's different about these protests with other protests
that have gone gone on on is these aren't necessarily
ethnic driven, because there are significant ethnic minorities in Iran
who from time to time will pop off, and there's
also sort of this idea of, you know, should women
have to wear burkas and hate jobs and whatnot. This protest,

(01:20:16):
as I've looked into, it was sparked by the merchants
and the business community because of the extreme devaluation of
the Iranian currency and the way that that economy is faltering.
And so because it's the business community that's really up
in arms, it's coming from a place that nobody was
really expecting.

Speaker 21 (01:20:36):
And then you have the other people piling on.

Speaker 11 (01:20:39):
So the people who are concerned about women's rights, the
people who are concerned about ethnic minorities, they're now piling on,
and it's really spun out of control.

Speaker 21 (01:20:48):
Traditionally the Iranian.

Speaker 11 (01:20:50):
You know, because it's a religious leadership. They've been able
to sort of appeal to people's religious sensibilities and their
sense of devotion and that sort of that short shared Shiaism.
But that hasn't worked this time, and so it'd be
very interesting to see how the President gets involved or
doesn't get involved. Certainly, nobody wants the Iranians to spin

(01:21:12):
completely out of control, so you have chaos in that country.

Speaker 21 (01:21:15):
And you also have to watch Cutter.

Speaker 11 (01:21:17):
Cutter is a business partner with the Iranians, and as
the Iranians have been sanctioned and sort of restricted in
their ability to operate in the United States, the Kataris
have operated as sort.

Speaker 21 (01:21:28):
Of a cat's paw or sock puppet for the Iranian regime.

Speaker 11 (01:21:32):
And so it'll be very interesting to see how the
Kataris handle it, because the Kataris have been very helpful
to the United States unwinding in Afghanistan and in some
of other parts of the Middle East.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
All right, Neil, I was going to go to Latin America,
but you brought up Cutter, so I'm gonna go there.
David and I had somewhat of a disagreement.

Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
Name names.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
Well, let's do it. Let's call that. So you brought
up cut you brought up cutter. Should other real players,
the Saudi Arabias, the Egyptians be involved in however, in
moving basically the situation in Iran ford or engaging. Should
some of those other regional players be involved.

Speaker 21 (01:22:16):
I think what people now want is they want stability.

Speaker 11 (01:22:20):
That's what the Abraham records that Trump brought forth in
the first administration and now continued frankly through the Biden administration.

Speaker 21 (01:22:28):
People just want to get along, they want to do business, they.

Speaker 11 (01:22:31):
Want to travel around, they want to have tourism. They're
just tired of all of the fighting and all the
killing and all the terrorism. And so I think there's
a lot of interest for all the players in the
Middle East to have this thing, have a sort of
soft landing. I just don't know where that soft landing is.
The problem, of course, is that the Iranians are in

(01:22:53):
the forefront of Shiaism and the rest of the Middle
East is Sunni and so that's got to be so
to navigate it.

Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
Yeah, Neil, going back to what's happening in Minnesota, our
own David Zeer was on the ground covering these protests.

Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
Here's what that looks like this is what we're.

Speaker 7 (01:23:11):
Dealing with on the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
That's right. Actually, I'm very respectful, and you're not respectful
at all in anyway. I just want to ask, do
you believe in illegal immigration? Do you think US tax
parents should be funding housing for allegals and medical cark man, He.

Speaker 12 (01:23:33):
Is so intelligent, this man, he's got nothing.

Speaker 7 (01:23:37):
To say, He's got a lot to say.

Speaker 9 (01:23:42):
No words.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
Wow, No more caffeine for you, ma'am.

Speaker 11 (01:23:52):
Well, there's a lot of clutch clutching of pearls in Minnesota.
A lot of fancy, fancy people.

Speaker 9 (01:23:59):
Are very thin.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
They're going to have to come spring. I'm sorry, I
don't think she owns pearls. That's probably a little too
classy for her. But go ahead.

Speaker 11 (01:24:08):
You were saying, well, no, it's just all these fancy
people who who have been living large. You know, you
ask those the people who are protesting, You ask them
about the economy. They ask them about how the country's going.
They thought everything was great under Biden. They thought it
was good times. Role They had no idea how many
Americans were angry. You know, because these guys, you know,

(01:24:32):
they don't they don't worry about an auto plant closing, right,
because they're all professionals, and you know, they're part of
that sort of bourgeois upper bourgeois class, and they just
think that working Americans need to get boxed out. They're
sick of Americans complaining and they want to work. They
want to rely on their illegal wage slaves. They want

(01:24:52):
those guys to clean their gutters, clean their pools. They're
the guys that they pay cash to wipe down their
cars at the car wash. They don't want to deal
with Americans who want a living wage.

Speaker 21 (01:25:03):
And that's what it's really about to me.

Speaker 4 (01:25:06):
Yeah, hey, Neil, before we let you go, we have
the president.

Speaker 1 (01:25:09):
He sets ahead to the Detroit Economic Club tomorrow, and
of course he's pushing his own affordability agenda. He's noting
accomplishments like lower interest rates, we got lower prices at
the pump.

Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
What do you think we're going to hear from the
President tomorrow, because look, he's got a case to be made.
But if people aren't feeling it, you got to be
able to square the circle or yeah, square the circle, right?

Speaker 2 (01:25:34):
Is that what you said?

Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
Square the circle?

Speaker 9 (01:25:35):
Anyhow?

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
Good?

Speaker 11 (01:25:39):
Well, I think what the President's going to talk about
is obviously the success of his economy. You think about
all of the all of this screaming and gnashing of
teeth that we were dealing with, you know, nine months ago,
people talking about tariff inflation, talking about the coming recession.

Speaker 21 (01:25:55):
None of that, None of that is on the board now.

Speaker 11 (01:25:58):
JP Morgan came out with at a report Friday that
said the economy is so strong that they don't think
the economy needs a rate cut. And so also, I
wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if the President took a
victory lap over electric vehicles when you see that Ford
Motor Company took a twenty billion dollar write down. General
Motors has just written down another ten billion. And this

(01:26:21):
is all you know, These companies were all being egged
on by the left and certainly by the Biden administration,
whereas Trump from the beginning said that electric vehicles weren't
the way to go, and I would expect him to
make a few jokes at their expense about that tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
The Okay, thank you so much for joining us today.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
Thanks Neil.

Speaker 3 (01:26:42):
All right, coming up.

Speaker 5 (01:26:43):
Elon o'mar and other Democrat lawmakers were recently kicked out
of an ice facility that full story coming up next
here in America.

Speaker 3 (01:26:51):
So nice.

Speaker 20 (01:27:01):

voide at the time.

now to spill some tea and in the cup. Today,
three Minnesota Democratic congresswomen say they were kicked out of
an ICED detention facility during an oversight visit. Representatives Ilhan Omar,
Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison arrive Saturday morning at the

(01:28:54):
Whipple Building at Fort Snelling, which houses ICE's regional headquarters
and an immigration court. Armed federal agents initially allowed the
lawmakers inside, but about half an hour later, officials revoked
their access and ordered them to leave. Omar is, of course,
one of the voices on the left leading the charge
against ICE following the shooting of a woman in Minnesota.

(01:29:15):
Here she was calling for Americans to record ICE operations yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
Take a look at this.

Speaker 6 (01:29:21):
We know that DHS has lied repeatedly when it comes
to these accounts, so it is even more important for
there to be recording from eyewitnesses every single time these
actions start taking place.

Speaker 18 (01:29:36):
For more, let's bring in David Brody, doctor Gina, and
Terence Bates. David, it's really not surprising seeing this coming
from ilhan Omar, but it is, as we talked about earlier,
just dangerous rhetoric.

Speaker 1 (01:29:49):
Yeah, I mean, she's going to be starting an anti
ice float at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade the next
thing we know. Look, here's the thing with her, and
she's from Minnesota s fifth district. She got too hundred
and sixty four thousand votes in that district in twenty.

Speaker 4 (01:30:03):
Twenty four when she won.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Now a lot of people would say, oh God, and
all the Somalis voted for her in Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (01:30:08):
No, not true at all. Well let me rephrase that.

Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
Yeah, ninety percent of the Somalis voted for her in
her district, But her district is only made up of
about ten to.

Speaker 4 (01:30:19):
Twelve thousand or so Somalis in her.

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
Minnesota fifth district, So she got two hundred and sixty
four thousand votes and only twelve thousand or so were Somali.

Speaker 9 (01:30:28):
Do the match?

Speaker 4 (01:30:29):
Ninety five percent were non Somalis, Gina.

Speaker 9 (01:30:33):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
That proves the point that white liberals are the most
dangerous people in America.

Speaker 4 (01:30:40):
Gina.

Speaker 5 (01:30:41):
Yes, and the least well informed people in America. They believe,
they listen to their own echo chambers. They believe things
that simply aren't true. They act on emotion, not facts
or statistics or data. We saw it during COVID. It's
only worse than since then. And this really shouldn't surprise
us at all. These people really truly need an awakening terrence.

(01:31:06):
It's just so upsetting. You know, you wonder how horrible things,
horrible atrocities can happen to humankind, to countries, to whole
civilizations throughout the ages, and then you look at white
leftists and you can figure out why.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
You know, I'm all about accountability, and I think if
and when an ICE agent does something wrong, yes he
or she should be held accountable. But at the same time,
lawmakers like in il han Omar also need to be
held accountable for their rhetoric and for their actions that
can put some of these law enforcement agents, be they
ICE or otherwise, in danger. They also need to be
held accountable. Accountability is something that needs to be had

(01:31:45):
to cross the board. And some of this rhetoric and
what il han Omar and others are saying is quite
literally emboldening people to try to attack and to put
the lives of ICE agents in danger, and that's not
right and they need to be held account.

Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
Yeah. Absolutely, very well said there, Terrence.

Speaker 18 (01:32:05):
I don't know if we're going to see that accountability,
but yeah, I certainly not gonna hold my breath on that.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
Can we get a snapshot of that moment I said
something and nobody had anything to say. Everything really like
even I was like, really, was it that profound? I
don't think it was that profound? But thank you guys.

Speaker 18 (01:32:22):
All right, good stuff still to come on American Sunrise.
The top stories were following today. There's more coming up
in two minutes. Stick around, all.

Speaker 5 (01:32:52):
Right, welcome back to American sunri sign doction Chee.

Speaker 3 (01:32:54):
Thanks for being with us this morning. It is time
now for the one to watch. David, what are you
watching today?

Speaker 1 (01:33:02):
Well, I'm clearly watching myself on television. But beyond that,
something really unexpected in Colorado.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
So check this out, guys.

Speaker 4 (01:33:10):
Colorado Governor Jared poulis Liberal. Hello, now, Wayne, whether to grant.

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
Clemency to former elections clerk Tina Peters, who, of course
we talk about all the time in the show. She's
currently serving that nine year prison sentence for the alleged
twenty twenty election security breach. So paul Is called peter
sentence harsh, citing her age and health as factors under consideration.

Speaker 4 (01:33:31):
Did he really say this, We have the tape, let's
play it.

Speaker 7 (01:33:35):
You got a sentence that was harsh.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
It was a nine year sentence.

Speaker 22 (01:33:38):
So we always look at people's sentences, and when you
have people that are elderly, and we're looking at this
across a number of people, people at our seventies and
our eighties in our system, how much of a threat
to society are there and how do we balance that
in a way that makes sure that they can spend
their last few years at home.

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
Phenomenal, Gina, kudos to you.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
You've been bringing this up all the time about Tina Peters,
remember Tina Peters ready in our editorial meetings, on the
air everything. And clearly Jared Poulis is a big fan
of yours. I mean, that's that's obvious, so clearly. But
the point, the point simply is that hey, word is
getting out. This was done dirty, it was done wrong.

(01:34:22):
And if Jared Polus is thinking about clemency, that's a
good thing.

Speaker 4 (01:34:25):
And to me, Gina, that just means keep at it.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
Pedal to the medal, Pedal to the medal.

Speaker 5 (01:34:31):
Right on by I hope that President Trump will absolutely
build on this and use this to continue a campaign
to free Tina Peters. Tina Peters should not have ever
been there. It's not a little bit harsh. It's ridiculous
that Tina Peters has gone through this. And look, I
don't really care what reasons they want to give to

(01:34:52):
free Tina Peters as.

Speaker 3 (01:34:54):
Long as they free her.

Speaker 5 (01:34:55):
But to say that it's just because the penalty was
too harsh, or because she's older, or because she's unwell, No,
this was wrong to begin with. This was a great injustice.
This is just a continuation of what they did to
are j six heroes. And this needs to be stopped now.
Tina Peters needs to be freed today.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
Terrence action versus rhetoric.

Speaker 2 (01:35:21):
Yeah, what Governor Polis said sounds good, it sounds sensitive,
it sounds humanitarian. But is he gonna follow through. Let's
have a conversation if and when he follows through. Yeah,
it sounds good, you know on his face. Oh he's
so sensitive, he really cares. But follow through. If you're gonna,
if you're gonna granted clemency, then do it. Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:35:38):
And by the way, we can have that conversation if
he does it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
And by the way, if and when he does it,
let's say he does do it. I'm not giving him
any applause, absolutely right, you know. So to Gina's point,
let's not put this guy up on a pedestal at.

Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
That point, going he did the right thing, good for him.

Speaker 1 (01:35:54):
No, Gina's point here is that she should never have
been in this place, been in this in the first place.

Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
So give me a break, give me a break.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
I'm not mad at that. I fully agree, but you know,
to bring this up as this, oh you know, he's
having a change of heart and until he doesn't really
like it, sounds good, but show me some action, do it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:36:16):
Today, As I said, hey, guys, you know what, this
show is over and Steve Banners is up next. So
you want to hug your children, love God, go bowling.
Now live the truth.

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
We'll see you tomorrow, everybody, see you, folks.

Speaker 4 (01:36:29):
