2. Key Discussion Points & Insights

A. U.S., Iran, and the Middle East Ceasefire

• Ceasefire Developments: The team discusses the status of the fragile two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. President Trump’s strategy is highlighted, with the White House touting “remarkable” military success and a negotiating phase now underway. There is confusion regarding the terms, especially concerning Lebanon and Hezbollah's inclusion or exclusion from the ceasefire.

  • “President Trump cease fire plan with Iran, though, hinging on the Islamic regime keeping that stretch [Strait of Hormuz] open to maritime traffic.” — Terrence Bates [02:44]

  • “The main thing was to make sure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon... What is interesting is if… Iran claims yesterday… that they had closed the Strait of Hormuz. Now, what does that look like? ...They have no military, you have no defense.” — Brian Glenn [07:45]

  • “It's almost so much a joke… I wish these negotiations were televised. I wish we could hear exactly what one side wants and what the other side doesn't want.” — Brian Glenn [11:05]

• NATO’s Role and U.S. Commitment: President Trump is openly critical of NATO's lack of support during the Iran conflict, with speculation over whether the U.S. might leave the military alliance. Talks on punishing NATO countries that didn’t back America in the war are circulating.

  • “NATO wasn't there when we needed them and they won't be there when we need them again.” — Citing Trump’s Truth Social [16:01]
  • “If you walked around and asked the average American, ‘has NATO improved your life?...’” — Brian Glenn [12:30]

B. Domestic Economic Impacts

• Gas Prices & State Response: Spiraling fuel costs are causing significant hardship for Americans. States like Indiana and Georgia have suspended gas taxes, with the hosts debating whether more states should follow suit.

  • “You don't want to know. $4.30 a gallon.” — David Brody [02:26]
  • “California…$0.70 per gallon in California for the gas tax alone… they’re not going to take that down.” — David Brody [05:10]

• Record-Breaking Heat & Weather: March was the hottest in U.S. history, driving unpredictable, severe weather. The hosts connect these environmental changes with ongoing debates over energy, infrastructure, and government response.

  • “Last month was the most abnormally hot month for the continental US in 132 years of record keeping.” — Terrence Bates [17:25]

C. Birthright Citizenship & Supreme Court

• Voter Attitudes & Court Prognoses: A significant majority of Americans now favor limiting birthright citizenship. Steve Gruber believes the Supreme Court will not side with restrictionists, pointing to the original intent of the 14th Amendment and noting exploitation by foreign nationals.

  • “59% of likely U.S. voters now favor limits on birthright citizenship…” — Dr. Gina [76:15]
  • “They’re going to rule in favor of birthright citizenship. That’s what’s going to happen.” — Steve Gruber [78:09]

D. Debate on Media and Message Discipline on the Right

• Trump vs. Tucker Carlson Feud: The feud between President Trump and Tucker Carlson over Iran policy exposes divisions among conservatives. Carlson urges dissent within the government and military, claiming Trump could escalate the war dangerously. The hosts debate whether Tucker’s outspoken criticism is justified or reckless.

  • “If you work in the White House or in the US Military, now it’s time to say, no, absolutely not… I’m not carrying it out. Figure out the codes on the football yourself.” — Tucker Carlson (clip) [39:48]
  • “His motivation is that he’s fallen in love with Islam, and I’m not quite sure why.” — David Brody [41:11]
  • “I don't understand anyone who aligns themselves with terrorists. To me, they want to kill us. It’s very simple.” — Dr. Gina [42:17]

E. Health Innovation: Cancer Treatments

• Ivermectin & Menbendazole Study: Dr. Gina interviews Peter Gillooly of the Wellness Company about a preprint observational study using common anti-parasitic drugs (ivermectin, menbendazole) for cancer patients. 84.4% self-reported clinical benefit, but the study faces skepticism due to its cost-effectiveness and lack of big pharma backing.
  • “The problem that this study faces… is the fact that this therapy is less than 1% the cost of chemotherapy.” — Peter Gillooly [32:28]
  • “I want to finish it. And, David, I don’t disagree with anything you said in this block regarding this war.” — Dr. Gina [51:59, cross-topic comment]

F. Faith, Culture, and Trends

• Declining Organized Religion, Not Faith: Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth joins to discuss the trend of Americans moving away from organized religion but not faith in God, with Christianity still vibrant, especially among Gen Z.

  • “People really need to understand that religion is man made. It doesn’t get you into heaven. It’s about a personal relationship with Jesus.” — David Brody [46:10]
  • “There’s a massive… they want God, and there’s a massive… They’re giving their lives to Jesus Christ in mass. It’s wonderful to see.” — Jonathan Shuttlesworth [47:09]

G. Mysteries & Off-Beat Stories

• Scientists Missing/Dead in UFO Programs: The panel discusses the surge in scientists reported missing or dead, many linked to UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) or defense projects. Theories range from unexplained deaths to possible foul play, with calls for investigation.

  • “I don’t, however, buy into a coincidence of this many people being disappeared.” — Dr. Gina [90:02]

H. Lighter Moments

• The Daily Whistle: Dr. Gina interviews David Kaiser, founder of an online whistling community, promoting national unity through a “Star-Spangled Banner Challenge.” Whistling is linked to patriotism and nostalgia.

  • “Just about everyone… can get involved in [whistling].” — David Kaiser [69:25]

• Running Jokes & Games: Recurring bits include game-show style banter, Bible verses, and pop culture references (e.g., Andy Griffith, Motown’s “Heat Wave”).

3. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

[Terrence Bates]

Ahead on American Sunrise, President Trump versus NATO. Will the US Leave the military alliance? And is the commander in chief considering punishing allies for not supporting the Iran war? Those questions put new significance to Wednesday's White house visit with NATO's Secretary General. Plus, the ceasefire with Iran appears to be holding at the moment as Vice President Vance is preparing to negotiate with the Islamic regime. Meantime, the White House is trashing a supposed 10 point plan floated by the Iranians, both literally and figuratively. We'll discuss. And later, President Trump and Tucker Carlson clash over Iran, with new fault lines emerging on the right. Where will this feud go as the President seeks to end one war and avoid igniting another? Those stories and so much more right now on American Sunrise.

[David Brody]

Good morning, America.

[Dr. Gina]

Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.

[Terrence Bates]

Politics.

[David Brody]

President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

[Terrence Bates]

We've got you covered.

[David Brody]

This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

[Terrence Bates]

We have to protect the American.

[Dr. Gina]

The American dream is still alive.

[David Brody]

I'm David Brody.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm terrence.

[Dr. Gina]

And I'm Dr. Gina. Good morning. I'm Dr. Gina. We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. Let's bring in David Brody. He's out in Washington, D.C. terrence Bates is in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, gentlemen.

[David Brody]

Good morning, Gene.

[Terrence Bates]

Dr. Gina and David. Good morning. Hey, quick question to both of you and Dr. G. You may not have this answer. I think you said your husband fills up your car, but how much are you guys paying for gas these days? How much is gas in your neighborhood?

[David Brody]

You don't want to know. $4.30 a gallon.

[Terrence Bates]

You're at 4.30. We're 389 here. Dr. G, do you know, I think last time I asked you this question, you were like, my husband fills up my car.

[Dr. Gina]

I do. But he is complaining on a whole new level. So I'm pretty sure it's really bad. That's all I know. He is complaining.

[Terrence Bates]

Okay.

[Dr. Gina]

And he's very pro the war. My husband is very traditional, republic kind of A guy, he's very pro the war. So for him to complain about the gas prices.

[Terrence Bates]

Yeah, yeah, that's gotta be pretty high. Yeah, absolutely. So I asked that question, guys, because of course, the eyes of the world are on the Strait of Hormuz, which of course had been closed up until the cease fire agreement. President Trump cease fire plan with Iran, though, hinging on the Islamic regime keeping that stretch open to maritime traffic. On Wednesday, there were actually conflicting reports about Iran restricting traffic through the strai. And back here in the United States, more states are now beginning to take steps to offset the pain that many Americans are feeling at the pump. Indiana, for instance, now the second state to suspend its tax, its gas tax in order to use. In order, to, excuse me, ease the burden on drivers. The state's Republican governor, Mike Brown is cutting the 7% usage tax for 30 days. Georgia started the trend off. About 55% of respondents in a recent Reuters Ipsos poll say that higher gas prices are at least somewhat affecting household incomes. So, David and Gina, the question. David, I'll start with you. Are you expecting even more states to follow suit and should they cut their gas taxes just to help some of their drivers out a little bit?

[David Brody]

They probably will follow suit, but of course, it depends what happens in Iran. You know, Indiana is the fifth largest gas tax state in the country. It's about 54 cents a gallon. Just the gas tax alone. Georgia, by the way, is at about 33 cents or so. Take a wild guess. Take a wild guess. What is the number one state in the country that has the largest gas tax?

[Terrence Bates]

That would be Dr. Gina. Would you prefer to try your hand at it first? I know.

[David Brody]

Oh, I already said it.

[Dr. Gina]

My IFB is cutting out just a little bit. The guys will fix it on break. But say that again.

[David Brody]

What state in the country do you think has the largest gas tax in the country?

[Dr. Gina]

I am so sorry. I have no ifb. I can hear it. No ifb. Just like this. I think you guys are talking about gas taxes and I think you were going to say that California has the largest. If I'm reading the tea leaves here, wouldn't surprise me at all. You know, the really nice thing is Desantis is trying to eliminate the property tax here in Florida. That's what we're talking about here on the ground. Yeah.

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

Wow.

[David Brody]

But let me also just say about California, it's $0.70 per gallon in California for the gas tax alone. That's correct. The governor can't. Yeah, the governor can't do anything unilaterally about it. Even under emergency powers, he needs the state legislature. But of course, the state legislature. Legislature in California is liberal big time as well. So look, bottom line is, don't think for a moment that California state legislature is going to take down those prices in California. Look at that 761A gallon or whatever it is out there. They're not going to do it because that money goes to infrastructure projects in California. So they're not going to tap that. There's no way they're tapping that.

[Terrence Bates]

Guys, Californians are probably considering driving over to Indiana just to get cheaper gas right now. Might be worth it for them to drive halfway across the. That is crazy. California. Get it together.

[David Brody]

That's right. All right, well, listen, I'm going to do the Bible verse here because the folks in California are going to not need a lot of prayer to lower that gas tax for sure. Here it is. Philippians 2, 10 and 11. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those in heaven and of those on earth, and of those under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. I believe that's where we say amen and amen. All right, White House. Yeah. Oh, amen. Gina, I tried to do the Bible verse proud in your stead.

[Dr. Gina]

You did a great job. And God doesn't care how well you read it. He doesn't care. He's just glad you're reading it.

[David Brody]

I'm just glad it's unprompter because I don't have any Bible verses memorized. All right, Gina, please take us away.

[Dr. Gina]

Sure you have lots of Bible verses memorized, David Brody? I know better.

[David Brody]

Fair enough.

[Dr. Gina]

The White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, touts the success of the OPERA operations in Iran. Take a look.

[Caroline Levitt]

Six weeks ago, the President looked the American people in the eye directly and he told them that he launched this operation to take out the imminent threat that was posed by Iran. And that threat has now been greatly destroyed. Their Navy, their missiles, their defense industrial base, and their desire and their plan to build a nuclear bomb inside their country is no longer going to be allowed, can no longer happen. Thanks to the remarkable success of Operation Epic Fury over the course of the last 38 days, that has been absolutely achieved. And now we're moving into the next phase of this, which is a negotiating period to put some fine points on this and to hopefully broker an agreement that can achieve long term peace in the Middle East.

[Dr. Gina]

All right, let's bring in Rav, chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn. Brian, what's the mood there on this?

[Brian Glenn]

Well, good morning, everybody. I love the open on that. Dr. Gina. It seems like we were in a game show. Dr. Gina, what do you hear in your IFB? It was great there. It was like for 10 points and control the board.

[Dr. Gina]

Other shows would cut it out, hide it and all the thing. We're like, yeah, no, we, we have no, I can't hear anything these people are saying. But yeah, yeah, right.

[Brian Glenn]

Well, Carolyn Levitt did not hide anything yesterday as she opened up the briefing yesterday afternoon talking about the accomplishments of this administration in this war. Now, she mentioned their naval vessels, bottom of the ocean, they have no air defense. The water mines, for the most part, have been destroyed. So the goals of this war have, for the most part, been accomplished. Now, the main thing was to make sure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. And we do have our eyes on that uranium that we. They claim they have. We know where it's at and we're monitoring any type of movement on that. Now, what is interesting is if they, Iran claims yesterday, right before Caroline Levitt walked out, that they had closed the Strait of Hormuz. Now, what does that look like? And, and Steve Gruber, and I'll give him some credit, posed this question, how do you close something if you don't have any kind of military to back it up? If someone quite honestly wants to go through the Strait, how do you monitor that? You have no military, you have no defense. Now, there is some drone capabilities, obviously, but Iran says the Strait is closed. Now, obviously this weekend, negotiations will go underway. Now, Israel has claimed that they've got their finger, quote, on the trigger. Benjamin Netanyahu said that earlier today that if those talks go sideways, they are ready to resume strikes there on Iran. And meanwhile, Iran says, wait, this, this strikes on Lebanon, which was never a part of the deal, we need to stop that before we reach any deal. So we'll see how that plays out over the next couple of days. But as far as recapping the success of this war, US Military has completely wiped out the Iranian military and their defense system systems.

[David Brody]

This whole thing is just utterly confusing. And what I mean by that is that I'm trying to still understand the cease fire. I mean, President Trump and the White House say that Lebanon is fair game. Israel wants to do whatever they need to do in Lebanon regarding Hezbollah. Knock yourself out. Iran says, no, no, no, Lebanon's included in the ceasefire. I mean, can you get your act together? I mean, what's happening? What's happening? Exactly. I don't get. And then Iran. I'm curious to get your take on this. Iran put out this 10 point proposal for the ceasefire, which Trump quickly threw in the trash can, according to Caroline Levitt, as she talked about. But let's put it up for a second. This is the stuff that's just bogus. I mean, this is the stuff Trump threw in the trash can. What are the, are these people, these Iranian crazies? Do they not realize they've lost the war? They're losing the war. They want reparations. They want to keep their nuclear program apart. What, what has happened? I mean, is this an SNL skit? What in the world's happening?

[Brian Glenn]

Brian, that is so funny you just said that. Because I was going to say it's almost, it's almost so much a joke that how can anybody think this is a legitimate offer from the Iranians? And of course President Trump did throw that in the trash. But this is kind of, I posed this question yesterday to a colleague. I wish these negotiations were televised. I wish we could hear except exactly what what side wants and what the other side doesn't want. And let's see. So that we have transparency and we know what is real and then what is essentially fake news coming out of the Iran, you know, media. So I would love some transparency there. So that 10 point plan that they proposed is, is absolutely a comedy skit on snl.

[Terrence Bates]

It's trash, quite literally. You threw it in the trash.

[Brian Glenn]

So, yeah, it's trash.

[Terrence Bates]

Hey, Brian, look, I want to get some insight from you, if you can offer some about that meeting between NATO Secretary General Mark Rute and President Trump at the White House. It was a closed door meeting, so we haven't gotten much information. I'm hoping that more information is being gleaned there on the ground that the White House, the Wall Street Journal also though writing Trump team explores punishment. Punishment for NATO countries that didn't support the Iran war. Troops would apparently be moved out of those countries that were deemed unhelpful during the Iran war. Can you flesh some of this out for us?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, a lot of details have not come on that as well, Taris. Now, I will note we are the secondary poll today at the White House. So perhaps some of these events might open up and I can ask the President that very question. But he's always been very critical of NATO. I've been critical of NATO a lot of times. I think if you walked around and asked the average American, has NATO improved your life, they're going to not even know what you're talking about. And the amount of money that we fund NATO and the fact that they have not allowed in some of these countries, they had two countries that did not allow our aircraft to land and refuel and take off so they can continue their missions, they've had to go elsewhere, which burns some time and fuel. So the fact that NATO has not had our back is very big. And I think that sets really well sits hard on President Trump, I should say. He remembers that and he even pushed out a true social, if you guys want to notice it, talking about Greenland in reference to the, you know, the ice land. So what is next there in terms of negotiations with Greenland? And maybe he doesn't care what NATO has to say about that. Guess what? They went there when we needed them on this mission.

[David Brody]

Brian Glenn, great to have you as always. We so appreciate you. We really do. Thank you so much for being absolutely.

[Brian Glenn]

Real quickly, let's play a game here. Real quick before I go, let's play a game. Is there a Marine behind me for 10 points in control of the board? I'm going to say no, not yet. No, he is not there. And David Brody, you know the answer to this question. If a Marine is standing outside the doors of the West Wing, it means that POTUS is in the Oval Office.

[David Brody]

That's right.

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

There you go.

[Brian Glenn]

All right, a little trivia for you today.

[David Brody]

So he's working from the bedroom. Basically that's what he's doing right now because he's always working. He's all right.

[Brian Glenn]

He's truth socialing from the bedroom. That would be so by the way, we are the secondary poll. So keep your eyes. Lots going on on the present schedule today. So we'll have it all as it unfolds.

[David Brody]

Thanks, Brian.

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

All right.

[David Brody]

Alright, game show Thursday here. We're just like doing all this stuff. All right. Coming up, we're going to check out the hottest headlines from the RAV newsroom. That would be with T. Bates. I've heard of him. He's a really nice guy, by the way. And later, conflicting reports swirl about Iran's Supreme Leader. I call him the cardboard Ayatollah. Some outlets claim he may be unconscious and unable to take part in decision making. You think we're gonna talk about it when we come back here in America.

[Rachel Holt]

This news break is brought to you by AMAC association of Mature American Citizens.

[Singer (Rachel Holt's song)]

[David Brody]

That's a Wildwood, New Jersey. I know. You see the s there wild wood. It's really a community of about five communities down there in the Cape May county of New Jersey, the Jersey Shore. Snooki. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. All right, I'm David Brody. We've got a lot to dissect, so let's go to the top scientists on our staff. That would be T. Bates. He's got it. Sponsored by amac.

Together we can right the course of America.

[Terrence Bates]

President Trump is sending Vice President Vance to Pakistan for talks with Iran as the fragile two week ceasefire between the United States and Iran appears to be a bit on shaky grounds. In the meantime, the Commander in Chief meeting with NATO Secretary General behind closed doors at the White House on Wednesday. Publicly, however, the president criticizing the military alliance with our European allies, writing in part on Truth Social, quote, NATO wasn't there when we needed them and they won't be there when we need them again. He of course, is referring to NATO member countries who ignored his call to help. As Iran shut down the Gulf of Hormuz, the disputed waterway remains one of the main bones of contention as the US Delegation led by Vice President Vance prepares for negotiations with Iran starting tomorrow.

[White House Official]

We actually think that we are seeing signs that the straits are starting to reopen. I think you guys have probably seen oil prices have come down. So I think the oil markets, the gas markets are seeing the same thing. But the president's been very, very clear. The deal is a cease fire, a negotiation. That's what we give. And what they give is the straits are going to be reopened. We don't want Iran to have the capacity to build a nuclear weapon. The President has also said that we don't want Iran enriching towards a nuclear weapon and we want Iran to give up the nuclear fuel. Those are going to be our demands during the negotiation. And again, we're going to see what the IR are willing to give up.

[Terrence Bates]

During our White House press briefing on Wednesday, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt indicating that President Trump would likely discuss the possibility of the United States leaving NATO. There's still no word this morning, though, if that conversation actually happened or if there are any moves to make that a reality. And in news closer to home, recently fired U.S. attorney General Pam Bondi will not testify before the House Oversight Committee next week as part of the committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation. That's the word from the Justice Department as the James Comer led body wants answers about the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein case. Bondi was subpoenaed last month, but in a letter to the House oversight committee, the DOJ writing because Ms. Bondi no longer can testify in her official capacity as attorney general, the department's position is that the subpoena no longer obligates her to appear. On April 14, however, the committee reportedly plans to reach out to Bondi's personal attorney to schedule a deposition. Meantime, billionaire Bill Gates will testify. He'll be one of the more prominent public figures to share what he knows with members of the House Oversight Committee. Gates is scheduled to appear in June. He denies having any knowledge of Epstein's crimes. The deposition will happen behind closed doors. With the interview being transcribed. Well, not even Martha Reeves and the Vandellas could have predicted the heat wave the country experienced in March. According to federal weather data, last month was the most abnormally hot month for the continental US in 132 years of record keeping. Not only was it the hottest March on record, but temperatures across the lower 48 were just over 9 degrees hotter than average. And that easily beats the previous record that was set back in March of 2012. The National oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says a number of states and cities saw daily heat records shattered last month. And that of course brings us to today's forecast with Weather Nation meteorologist Tracy Anthony. She's standing by with more on what you can expect from coast to coast. Tracy, good morning. You know I like the hot weather so I love that data from Noah. Hopefully it will continue even in this month of March of April. Excuse me.

[Tracy Anthony]

Yeah, you know Terence, I read there was over 2000 daily heat records from cities. So just in the month. So incredible. And if we look out into mid April, it looks like the heat is going to stick around from coast to coast. It looks like we're going to be above average. So we'll see if that's pans out. But what the heat is doing right now is it's going to cause instability in the environment and throw us into a multi day severe weather outbreak here. So we're talking Thursday, Friday, then we have outlooks already Saturday, Sunday and well into next week. So a lot of the severe is going to be centered around the Central Plains here. And notice we get some rain though all the way to the northeast and we will have several systems impacting the intermountain west bringing them a good amount of moisture. So as I mentioned, it will be very active and we're going to track that severe weather well into the week. Next week and temperatures staying warm for most of us. The East Coast, a little below average, but everywhere else, we're trending above average. So, Terrence, that heat is sticking around. That's some great news.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, so, Tracy, before I let you go, our friendship is going to hinge on this. This question. I called myself being cheeky. Did you get my line? Not even Martha Reeds and the Vandelas could have predicted this heat wave. Did you get the line? Do you understand the reference?

[Tracy Anthony]

I don't know.

[Terrence Bates]

Friendship is on the line here. Oh, my goodness.

[Tracy Anthony]

Sorry.

[Terrence Bates]

You're killing kiddo. You're killing me, Smalls. You're killing me. So Martha Rees and the Vandellas is a Motown group, and they had a song called Heat Wave.

[Tracy Anthony]

Oh, okay. I'll have to look at it.

[Terrence Bates]

You're like, what year did it come out okay, old man? Yeah, it's like a 50s or 60s song. So well before both of our time. But I was hoping that you would get the reference. We're still friends. We're still friends. Just not as good friends this morning. Always good to see you, my friend. We'll talk next hour. Okay.

[Tracy Anthony]

Yeah. Well, your hometown forecast next hour.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, thanks so much. Up next, Israel claims a top Hezbollah figure was killed in Beirut. So is the ceasefire at risk because of all of this? And what does it ultimately mean for the region? We'll have some experts in to weigh in.

[David Brody]

That is Dunedin, Florida. How many times has that city been mispronounced? Dunedin, Dunedin Dunin. Dunedin, Florida, everybody. I believe that's where Ron DeSantis is from. Don't quote me on that. Then again, if we're cnn, we just throw out things and we don't care about fact checking. Welcome back to American Sunrise. All right, Israel says it carried out a targeted airstrike in Beirut claiming to kill the senior Hezbollah figure. According to to Israeli officials, the strike targeted a key member of the group's leadership, though Hezbollah has not confirmed the claim. Like we can believe anything they say. The attack comes amid ongoing Israeli operations against Hezbollah and Lebanon as regional tensions continue to escalate. All right, for more, let's bring in the director of Jihad Watch. That is the most appropriately titled name in the country. That would be Robert Spencer. Robert, thanks for being here. So I'm trying to understand. I mean, Iran and Pakistan insist Lebanon is part of the ceasefire deal. The United States and Israel say, no, no, no, the agreement doesn't cover Hezbollah in Lebanon. I'm confused. I don't know what's going on. Maybe you've got some answers. Good morning.

[Robert Spencer]

There really isn't any answer because there's just total 100%, 180 degree difference between the American and Israeli version of what this ceasefire consists of and the Iranian version. And it's not just about Lebanon and Hezbollah. It's also about nuclear enrichment, where the Iranian media actually said that the Americans had approved of Iran's nuclear program. And of course, that was completely false and hotly denied. But it's very clear that one of the first things, job one of any negotiation that's actually going to happen is going to be to hammer out exactly what has been agreed to, because right now there's total disagreement about that basic issue.

[Terrence Bates]

It seems to me there's also total disagreement about who we're negotiating with or who's in charge of Iran. I want to bring your attention to this New York Post headline which reads, iran's supreme Leader unconscious and unable to be involved in any decision making. He, of course, hasn't been seen since the initial February 28th strikes that killed his father. But here's a list of key Iranian figures who have been killed so far. The parliamentary speaker, Mohammed Bagar Gagdaf, he's been. I'm sorry, I think these are the

[David Brody]

men running Iran, or at least the, I'm sorry, the graphic we're putting up. I believe those are the men running Iran right now.

[Terrence Bates]

Are these the men running Iran? Because there's been a list of so many people who have been killed in Iran. And I guess the bigger question is who is ultimately running around? Who is the United States ultimately, ultimately negotiating with? Do you have any answers? Do you have any insight?

[Robert Spencer]

Terence? It seems like the first thing we can be sure of in this whole murky situation is that Mojtaba Khamenei, the putative supreme Leader, is not in charge and has never been in charge. He may not even know he's the supreme leader. He may not even be alive. And so it seems clear that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has always been the muscle of the Islamic regime in Tehran, is in charge. Whoever they may be, is not clear because a lot of their leaders, as you've pointed out, have been killed. But what we, what most people seem to be seeing in the Islamic Republic right now is a transition to more of a military dictatorship. It's still a religious theocracy, but it's the military arm of it, the enforcement arm, the people who have been killing the protesters on the streets who seem to be in charge now.

[Dr. Gina]

I mean, so that's not Good. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. What really is happening on the ground in Iran that we're not hearing about in the US because to us, it's all a little bit puzzling that we haven't seen more activity from the Iranian people.

[Robert Spencer]

Well, the Iranian people are in an extraordinarily difficult position because they don't have any weapons. They are an object lesson into why Democrats should never be in charge in the United States again, because they would leave the population absolutely defenseless. And that's what the population of Iran is, the Islamic Republic. The surviving leaders of it are just trying to make sure that the regime stays in power. And they are doubling down on the tactic that they have always used to stay in power, and that is terror. That's the only recommendation that the Quran, which is their primary guide, gives them for how to deal with dissidents. Strike terror in the enemies of Allah. Terrorism is for the Islamic Republic a tool and a weapon that they do not hesitate and have never hesitated to use against their own people. And so right now, the Iranian people cannot go out on the streets unless they are absolutely willing to die. And so they are waiting it out, hoping that there will be some kind of a break within the regime itself that will make it possible for them to overthrow it. At this point, the regime has all the guns. They have nothing. There's really nothing they can do.

[David Brody]

Such a great point. I mean, they're going to wait it out. I mean, that's the plan. And also, let's also be clear, Gina, to your point, there is a Internet blackout there. I mean, they shut off the Internet, so we don't know what's really going on there. No one knows. I mean, there could be things going on that clearly are not reported because we have no clue.

[Steve Gruber]

Right.

[David Brody]

All right, Robert Spencer, great to have you. Thank you, sir.

[Steve Gruber]

Thanks, Robert.

[David Brody]

All right, coming up, a new cancer study from the wellness company draws attention. Most patients reported benefit, but the results are self reported and bigger trials are still needed. We have the facts. Next on American Sunrise.

On ammunition. Start every war you're building. It's like a bullet in a gun on a suicide mission. Well, how's it feel to be a warden in your own prison? All the bitter things that you do are going to come back on you.

[Dr. Gina]

Coming into Pensacola, Florida right there, I'll tell you, it is a cold, windy, rainy day. I have one very frustrated soggy puppy sitting next to me on the couch today. A wet dog smell perfuming the air. Welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. We thank you for joining us. It is time now for today's health news sponsored by the Wellness Company and under the microscope today, a new preprint from the Wellness company describes results from a study of cancer patients prescribed ivermectin and menbendazole. This is something I've been talking about on this show literally for years now. The Authors say that 197 patients were enrolled with 122 completing a six month follow up. Of those, 84.4% reported what the study called clinical benefit, including stable disease, tumor shrinkage or absolutely no current evidence of cancer whatsoever. So these results, you know, the AMA makes us say are anecdotal or self reported. The paper is still, of course, I don't know what they think other reports are either. Let me tell you something. These results undergo a level of scrutiny that no other medication from big pharma has to go through. I'll just tell you that much. Because they will lie and cheat and steal and buy. They are so compromised. And so I want to bring in the guy who knows all about this. He's the CEO of the Wellness Company. Our good friends who happen to have a pharmacy right down the street from us. I didn't even know that. Peter Gillooly, welcome to the show. I get so frustrated. You can hear it in my introduction, these cures, and a lot of them are cures, not for everyone. I tried the ivermectin, fenbendazole, which is a little bit of a different thing on my dog that had advanced lymphoma by the time I figured out what was going on and he did not survive. But I've been hearing about this working as a protocol for people for years now. And it was all, you know, swept under the rug and dismissed as some sort of conspiracy by the medical establishment. I'm tired of the medical establishment. Look, as you and I were talking about before we even came in, I can tell you Today that this xxychological drug, I can talk all about that and say it's proven that it works when they don't even have a burden of efficacy on most of the drugs prescribed in the DSM 5 for the APA. So why such scrutiny over this amazing study that is frankly very long overdue?

[Peter Gillooly]

Yeah, thanks for that intro. And you're absolutely right. The problem that this study faces, and we even faced it when we were trying to take it to preprint, we got rejected by several preprint servers is the fact that this therapy is less than 1% the cost of chemotherapy.

[Dr. Gina]

Oh, yes, because there is a massive cancer industry and they don't want to lose their profits 100%.

[Peter Gillooly]

And chemo and vaccines are the only two types of drugs in the world that doctors are actually allowed to get commissions from pharmaceutical companies for recommending.

[Dr. Gina]

Why hasn't that ended? The Trump administration needs to end that right now.

[Peter Gillooly]

I have no idea. But I hope Secretary Kennedy is looking at that. But the fact of the matter is that the results of this study, and we had the largest observational study of its kind, there never has been a study that I think has showed over three people using this. We had over 122report back. It's overwhelming. This is a breakthrough and I think more people need to be talking about this and knowing about it. Because when you get diagnosed with cancer, it's an urgent diagnosis. The first time that a lot of Americans think about cancer is the day their doctor tells them that they have it and then they go home, they open their laptop and they spend all night Googling for cures. We want to be a resource that patients can go to that is a legitimate medical practice that has a legitimate pharmacy that has pharmaceutical grade products that are tested for potency. Because it's very important that patients actually go to reputable sources and don't just start buying random veterinary medications off of Amazon to try to cure themselves.

[Dr. Gina]

We can actually help, which people did do before. The wellness company was as well known as it is now and established during COVID We all remember it, but you don't know about the purity. Some of these products come from China. That's why it is really important. And God only knows what China's putting in things, right? So I'm not going to lie that I've used lots of veterinary supply and in some cases I think, fine, whatever, use it for collagen right now. But if I'm going to buy something that I'm going to put in my body as a medication, it's important, important that it comes from somebody who has really researched it and has a solid product. Right?

[Peter Gillooly]

That's absolutely right. And we've spent, as you kind of alluded to at the beginning, almost a year researching this. And we've had thousands of patients come to us for cancer diagnosis since. And our medical staff is happy to talk to these people. Whereas most oncologists that you'll find in the hospital will look at you like you have two heads. But the results speak for themselves. You know, 84.4% clinical benefit ratio. I mean half those people, almost one in two had the tumors even shrink or had no evidence of disease. I mean that's almost borderline miracle drug. But nothing is a silver bullet. But we really need to have more clinical randomized trials around repurposed drugs like this because I think there's a great benefit and so little downside. The side effects are almost zero.

[Dr. Gina]

Almost zero. So aside from big pharma money and establishment, Rockefeller style doctors, allopathic doctors that are not open minded to this, it's really the money trail. But what is precluding these studies happening? Because in some cases, I mean, I know in some cases these treatments are more effective than the conventional processes.

[Peter Gillooly]

Well, the problem is the FDA has to approve every study. Right. And as we know, the people who are employed by the FDA usually come from big pharma. It's part of the career ladder, let's say, on those big corporations. So there is not a really strong incentive for them to approve a study like this.

[Dr. Gina]

Which is why it's so important that you have doctors like the ones you have at the Wellness Company. Because these are fully trained, fully accredited MD doctors for the large part. Not that I think you have to be an MD to be credible at all. But these are folks who. But they're all open to innovation really. That's what we're talking about here. This is innovation.

[Peter Gillooly]

So 100% it has better outcomes and lower costs for patients. What more could you want?

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, exactly. Peter Gillooly, thanks for what you guys do at the Wellness Company. I'm just always so excited to tell people about it. Everybody always says, where can I get this? Where can I get that? I'm like the Wellness Company. It's so easy. So anyway, thank you, Appreciate it.

[Peter Gillooly]

The audience would like to see this study themselves. They can see at TWC Health Cancer.

[Dr. Gina]

You know, I'm going to go over that. You know, I'm going to.

[Peter Gillooly]

I know, I just, I get excited.

[Dr. Gina]

Good to see you. All right. This groundbreaking new study showing there's a safe, inexpensive potential cancer treatment. A drug that many of us already know about, Ivermectin. The study shows that individuals who took ivermectin, the parasite fighting medication that gained fame during the COVID pandemic. Thank God, not for the COVID pandemic, but for this exposure, exposure happening. It's one of the good things that came out of it. Along with this drug, menbendazole, these folks saw remarkable results in their battles with cancer. This incredibly promising result has many Americans wondering where they can get it. And that's a logical question to ask. And that's where the wellness company comes in. You know, the wellness company you hear and see from their doctors all the time on this network, you know the that their products are the absolute gold standard for keeping you and your family safe and healthy. The Wellness Company makes 100% American made ivermectin and menbendazole. That's important. This is hard to find and they make it available to us RAV viewers at an incredibly affordable price point. Say no Big pharmas. No to big pharma's greed and say no to big farmers Point big farmers. I, I'll get this out. Big Pharma's poisons that I try to warn you about on this show every single day. Say yes, though, to a company that you can trust to bring you safe, affordable, effective treatments. If you or someone you love is interested in trying this incredible breakthrough ivermectin bindazole combination, I urge you to talk to the doctors at TWC Health RAV today. Give it an order. That's TWC Health RAV. Use the promo code RAB. That'll save you 10%. You can also go to TWC Health Cancer if you want to read the study with your own eyes and I advise you to do so. Coming up, President Trump and Tucker Carlson now in an open feud over Iran. With insults flying and new signs of division on the right as this clash intensifies. How much further will it go? We're going to debate that next right here on American Sun News Movie.

[Singer (Rachel Holt's song)]

I'm always the villain. While I'm getting hurt, you're playing the victim.

[Host/Announcer]

Welcome back to American Sunrise. It's time to stay awake, not woke. And today we are discussing President Trump and Tucker Carlson. Trump is reigniting his feud with Tucker Carlson after Carlson accused him of pushing the United States further into war with Iran, warning the conflict could escalate further. Trump fired back, calling Carlson a low IQ person and Insisting he has no idea what's going on. As the clash adds to divisions on the right over Iran. And here is Tucker urging White House staffers and members of the military to refuse orders from Trump. Take a look at this.

[Terrence Bates]

If you work in the White House or in the US Military, now it's time to say, no, absolutely not. And say it directly to the president. No. In case you're thinking about using some weapon of mass destruction against the population of Iran, in whose name we liberated Iran, we killed their religious leader for their benefit. Do you remember that? This was last month. Those people who are in direct contact with the president need to say, no, I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, because this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out. Figure out the codes on the football yourself.

[Host/Announcer]

Let's bring in Dr. Gina, David and Terrence for further discussion. Terrence, wanna go to you and get your thoughts first on this.

[Terrence Bates]

Yeah, I'm wondering what's motivating Tucker these days. Obviously, he can have his opinion, but in this environment, particularly, because I'm sure he's got pretty direct access to the president, why not raise your concerns privately? Why air them so publicly? And then the other thing is, like, you're talking about the nuclear football. I don't think anyone's threatened to use weapons of mass destruction on Iran. Yeah, there's the threat of destroying Iran, destroying its power plants and other facilities, but not using, like, nuclear weapons or these sort of weapons of mass destruction. So I'm not. It's not quite computing for me, David.

[David Brody]

His motivation is that he's fallen in love with Islam, and I'm not quite sure why. And I think we need investigations into that. But maybe I can ask him at his home in Qatar, because that's where he's got a current home. So, seriously, I think there are a lot of questions about this, but let's be clear. Tucker Carlson is now Mark Kelly, the senator from Arizona, who also said that military and others should disavow. Excuse me. Not disavow. Disobey. President Trump's orders. This is what Tucker Carlson is saying. Gina, Gina, can we. I'm sorry, I'm not saying for you to call it out. I'll call it out myself. I'll be responsible for what I say, which is he is, you know what? Crazy. And he needs to be called out. And I'm sorry, this is. I mean, First Amendment. Knock yourself out. I'm not trying to cancel anybody. Do whatever you want be everywhere. That's not what I'm saying. So let's not play the First Amendment card here. I'm just simply saying he's crazy. He's literally crashing. I don't know what's gone on with Tucker, but we need to find out because he's going down a very, very dangerous path because he's embracing Islam. That's my biggest concern.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, and again, I've been meaning to listen to his latest shows and just have been busy. I've got weddings I'm trying to do right now. That is driving me a little crazy. But. So I haven't been listening as thoroughly as I used to. But. But I will say that, you know, I don't. First of all, Terrence, I'm with you on one thing I don't understand. I personally have anyway, not heard President Trump refer to nuking the citizens of Iran. That came a little bit out of nowhere. David. I certainly align with you on that. I do not understand anyone who aligns themselves with terrorists. To me, they want to kill us. It's very simple. And I will never understand that and I will never side with them. However, I think we can all agree with the baseline of what he said. I don't think what he said in general was crazy and that we don't want to nuke a civilian citizenship. I don't think anyone wants that. I don't think President Trump wants that. So this, you know, I just. I sometimes don't know exactly where the miscommunication is. I do know that I heard President Trump say something about not taking Tucker's words, phone calls. That could be the reason, Terrence, why there hasn't been dialogue on this. I think dialogue would be a great idea. In fact, better than that, I think an open forum debate. I think you get Tucker and Candace Owens and whoever wants to join that and just televise it and just lay it out and let everybody see and hear for themselves what these folks believe. Because I do see. I do see a lot of times where media goes crazy with something. Some influencer wants a lot of clicks. So they say something outlandish, they pull something out of context, they put it up there, and guess what? They get a lot of clicks. And then everybody says, oh, my gosh, Tucker said he loves Islam. Now, listen, I have not heard him say that he doesn't have a house in Qatar. I would really like to know why. I'd like to know why he has a house in Qatar. That's a super fair question. David Brody, I'd like to ask him that question. So I think there are a lot of questions, but I think we have to be very careful about just deciding we should investigate or call people crazy before we had a chance to hear them out or listen to their comments that are posted for clicks in their entirety. That's all. That's my only caution.

[Host/Announcer]

Great point, Gina, and great discussion as always. All right, coming up, faith isn't fading. Paula White Kane says many Americans are walking away from organized religion, not from God or belief. What's really changing, we analyze next on American Sunrise,

[Singer (Rachel Holt's song)]

How's it feel to be a warden in your own prison?

[Terrence Bates]

God bless the usa

[Dr. Gina]

in the beginning,

[Steve Gruber]

God created the heaven and the earth.

[David Brody]

I love the way he says the earth. Welcome back, everybody, to American Sunrise. Time now for a moment of faith. It's brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God bless the USA Bible and also the guy that says the Earth. In focus today, Paula White Kane, the head of the White House faith office, says many Americans may be drifting away from organized religion without losing their faith in God. Paula White Cain says declining religious affiliation does not necessarily mean people are abandoning belief, but rather they are turning away from institutions while still searching for purpose, meaning and faith. Well, let's bring in pastor, evangelist and the founder of revival today. That would be our good friend Jonathan Shuttlesworth. Jonathan, I mean, look, I mean this is 101 stuff to me. People really need to understand that religion is man made. It doesn't get you into heaven. It's about a personal relationship with Jesus. So take us back to the beginning, brother. Good morning.

[Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Well, I'll say it. That's why statistics are always skewed because no, no independent churches report statistics to any news bodies. So all you get is Presbyterian Church, whoever, and they're in decline. You United Methodist Church, and then the, the non denominational churches that are doing the college baptisms and baptizing 2,000 students on a weekend. Who gets those numbers? Nobody gets them. So the data is messed up. It looks like religion's flat or in decline. But if you go to any church this Easter, it was jammed out the doors.

[David Brody]

Well, that's for sure. I remember going to church actually a couple days before Easter for an Easter presentation and it was standing room only to the point where they did overflow rooms and everything. So talk to us a little bit about the Gen Z aspect of all of this because a lot of folks in that area are looking for alternatives. And when I say alternatives, I'm talking about ways to reach them. But not in non traditional forms.

[Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

I've read it in studies and I've talked to a lot of Gen Z people that teenagers want the opposite of what their parents did. So if you grew up with a Gen X parent, like my age group, and watch them party and do heroin and mess their life up and tear through relationship after relationship, they don't want that. That's why alcohol consumption's falling off a cliff. Partying all that they want. God, and there's a massive, it's not really like you have to reach them. All you have to do is like put up a sale to catch the wind. They're coming in on their own and they're getting, they're giving their lives to Jesus Christ in mass. It's wonderful to see.

[David Brody]

Amen. You know, we need more that we have three minutes with you. We need 30 minutes with you, Jonathan. We'll have to have you back. We always have you back because we love you, appreciate you.

[Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Happy belated Ramadan to Tucker Carlson.

[David Brody]

Yeah, I knew that was coming. And he takes a sip and he drops the mic. All right, Jonathan, thanks so much. All right, Ramadan the donkey and Tucker Carlson, the imperfect trinity. By the way, be sure to tune into Revival Today with Jonathan at 9:00am this Sunday morning. That's what it's called, Revival today. We're not saying tune in today. Sundays at 9:00am oh, they're playing the music. I better get out of here. I'm going to anchor jail. We're back. Second hour in a moment.

[Terrence Bates]

Coming up on this second hour of American Sunrise. The ceasefire between the United States and Iran is holding, at least for now, as Vice President J.D. vance and others are heading to Islamabad, Pakistan, for a new round of negotiations to permanently end the conflict. We'll have the latest straight ahead. Plot Iranian authorities are accusing Israel of violating the cease fire after IDF forces continue striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. A live update from on the ground in Israel ahead. And then later, American voters sound off on the Trump administration's push to place new limits on birthright citizenship. We'll break down the numbers later this hour. Those stories and so much more right now on this second hour of American Sunrise.

[David Brody]

Good morning, America.

[Dr. Gina]

Welcome to American sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you.

[Terrence Bates]

Politics.

[David Brody]

President Trump is joining us live now from Florida.

[Terrence Bates]

We've got you covered.

[David Brody]

This is what it looks like to be a patriot.

[Terrence Bates]

We have to protect the American family.

[Dr. Gina]

The American dream is still alive.

[David Brody]

I'm David Brody.

[Terrence Bates]

I'm terrence.

[Dr. Gina]

And I'm Dr. Gina.

[David Brody]

Welcome back, everybody, to the second hour of American Sunrise. I'm David Brody coming to you from D.C. let's bring in Dr. G in West Palm, and T. Bates in our Denver newsroom. Morning, guys. You know, listen, I'm an optimist at heart, but I tell you what, with these ceasefire negotiations, whether or not there's going to be a lasting peace, I'm coming down on the pessimist side. Listen, I want there to be some sort of deal, but people need to understand. I keep saying this, and our diplomats have done this from time time again, whether it be a Republican or Democrat administration, When you're dealing with Iran, you're not dealing with normal. And I know that they think they realize that, but I'm talking about a different type of not normal, as in like a. A theological not normal. Like, these folks literally want to die for the cause. So therefore, if they want to die for the cause, how do you negotiate with that? I think that's what's been missing in all of this, quite frankly. I think they're looking. And the reason I'm saying all of this, guys, is that J.D. vance and others are going to be in Islamabad this weekend trying to negotiate a deal. What they don't understand, this is not like Greece, right? This is not like just another type of country that you can negotiate with. These are radical Shia clerics. You can't do it. And until they're gone, nothing's gonna change. So even if they come to an agreement, I think it'll be broken soon enough. That's my view. I really believe that.

[Terrence Bates]

Fair points. Fair points. I think most reasonable people or.

[David Brody]

Terrence? Sorry.

[Terrence Bates]

Oh, I think it's a fair point. Dr. Jean, I'll let you sound. I think it's a fair point. And my suspicion, similar to yours, is that any negotiating on the part of Iran is simply the. To kick the can down the road. That they still want to destroy the big and little Satans. That's still the goal. They just want to preserve their country until they're able to mount a new attack. That's just my thought. Dr. Gina, you've got the last word.

[Dr. Gina]

I mean, I've always thought they were just a puppet for bigger enemies of ours being used by them. I, as you know, was very hesitant about this war in the very beginning, but now that we're in it, I want to finish it. And, David, I don't disagree with anything you said in this block regarding this war. It's concerning, and I'm certainly so far from an expert I just pray that God gives President Trump and our military supernatural wisdom on this. And that's really all we can do because you can see a way this goes sideways so quickly and so devastatingly. And. But I will say this. God has protected us in this country miracle after miracle after miracle. And I believe it is our faith and our turning to God every single time. That is the reason I do believe President Trump as much as sometimes, you know, there are things that I'm like, why did he do that? I don't understand. You know, there are things that he's done this time around, not so much the first administration, but this time around where I'm like, what? What is going on here? Who's advising him? I'm not saying, I'm not asking questions, but I am saying I do believe that he's here because God put him here. And God has given him special strength, special insight, special wisdom that is somewhat supernatural. And so, you know, and so I just hope that God continues to do that and that he blesses and protects our military because I've been so proud so far of what the military has done.

[David Brody]

David, can I just say something very, just one quick addendum to that? I agree with you, Gina, on that, but I don't want the crazies to think I'm talking about the liberal crazies who like to write articles about our show that, you know, this idea that God put Donald Trump in charge of the United States.

[Terrence Bates]

Yeah, he did.

[David Brody]

But guess what? He also put Barack Obama in charge and he also put Joe Biden and he also. So don't start taking things out of context that we're talking about this with only Trump. God takes care of it for all leaders. There's a reason Obama. We wouldn't have Trump without Obama, FYI,

[Dr. Gina]

and thanks for writing about US tabloids. We really appreciate that.

[David Brody]

Oh, we do enjoy it. We do enjoy it.

[Terrence Bates]

Well, guys, you mentioned the big headline of the day. President Trump sending Vice President Vance to Pakistan for talks with Iran. This as a fragile two week ceasefire between the United States and Iran appears to be on a bit of shaky ground. In the meantime, though, the Commander in Chief met with NATO Secretary General behind closed doors at the White House Wednesday. Publicly, however, he criticized the military alliance with our European allies. Writing on truth social quote, NATO wasn't there when we needed them and they won't be there when we need them again. He, of course, is referring to NATO member countries who ignored his call to help as Iran shut down the Gulf of Hormuz. The disputed waterway remains, remains one of the main bones of contention as the US Delegation led by Vice President Vance prepares for negotiations with Iran tomorrow. And in news much closer to home, recently fired U.S. attorney General Pam Bondi will not testify before the House Oversight Committee next week as part of the committee's Jeffrey Epstein investigation. That is the word from the Justice Department as the James Comer led body that would be the House Oversight Committee wants answers about the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein case. Bondi was subpoenaed last month. But in a letter to the House oversight committee, the DOJ writing because Ms. Bondi no longer can testify in her official capacity as attorney general, the department's position is that the subpoena no longer obligates her to appear on April 14. And the national oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that last month was the most abnormally hot month for the continental United States in 132 years of record keeping. Not only was it the hottest March on record, but temperatures across the lower 48 were just over 9 degrees hotter than average. That easily beats the previous record, which was set back in March of 2012. And that's a great transition to our forecast with Weather Nation meteorologist Tracey Tracy Anthony. She's standing by with more on what you can expect when you head out the door today. Plus, she's got your hometown forecast. Hey, Tracy.

[Dr. Gina]

Hey.

[Tracy Anthony]

We've got a couple of hometown forecasts. So we're going to start off in Colorado, heading out to Rifle, Colorado. This is just west of Aspen, pretty warm, 76 degrees, 77 the next day. And we're going to have more moisture, though, rolling through for the weekend and into next week. This coming in from Brian I on YouTube. So make sure you're jumping in. Joining the conversation, this one from soprano Donna Guetter, Sandusky, Ohio. They are going to deal with some rain the next few days. He said they were doing cleanup for Cedar Point. So the weather's going to fluctuate a little bit for them. But should be warm but a little rainy for next week. And then for the last stop, we're heading down to Vero Beach, Florida. They had a daily record rainfall total yesterday. This from Patriot Mermaid. One more day of rain for Florida and then things are going to clear out. It's going to be pretty nice. But look at this. Palm beach dealt with some flooding and I have to give a quick shout out to one of our producers slash Technical Directors, M.D. he was driving through this. It gets torrential. Terrence, I've got stuck in a few of these last few days. It is impossible on the interstate to try to see anything when it rains this hard.

[Terrence Bates]

Oh, wow. That is crazy. Maryland. I'm going to need you to drive though, and not be videotaping. But that's a whole nother thing. We'll have a conversation after the show. Thanks so much, Tracy. All right, let's get you back over to David. David, I may disappear from the rest of the show after I just called out M.D.

[David Brody]

well, we want you back, though. All right, let's get to what's going on with Iran here. Joining us now with analysis is retired Navy SEAL officer and chief talent officer for Overwatch. Mission critical, Mike Sorelli. Our good friend, Mike, let's get right to it. There are talks this weekend in Pakistan. Do you expect a deal to come out of these? How skeptical are you? Good morning.

[Mike Sorelli]

Well, that's a complicated question. Let me explain why. So one, I always take negotiations in two phases. Phase one is mechanical, hey, stop firing, open up the straits. In this instance, that's even struggling. Phase two is when you get into the strategic concerns, a lot of which are against the US Interests based off Iran's requests. They want to continue enriching uranium. They want control over the Strait of Hormuz, which flies in the face of freedom of maneuver or maritime freedom. You know, they want reparations for reconstruction and they want their proxy forces included within this, this treaty. That's a no go from the start. Ultimately, if you swing back and David, you mentioned your frustration and your pessimism. Guys, it's one thing to stare down the barrel of the Department of War, the U.S. military, it's another when the U.S. is behind that Department of War. The left is killing us here. They're passing ammunition to the Iranians through dissent and talking about Article 25 or the 25th Amendment. I apologize. This is insane. If we as Americans, to include NATO, can't see this as an evil empire, the largest state sponsor of terrorism and we can't rally as a globe to finish this, we've given leverage to Iran in these negotiations. And guys, I don't think this is going to end well.

[David Brody]

That is exactly right.

[Dr. Gina]

You make a great point. I actually wrote an entire book trying to prove President Trump was perhaps the most level headed individual to ever occupy the Oval Office. And I really believe that his ability to stay strong under the most personal threats of his own children, grandchildren, himself, not to mention an assassination attempt that nobody seems to care to actually investigate, his ability to stay sane through that is just, it's truly mind numbing, Mike. And I think it is testimony to what a truly grounded person he is in some form. I've said it's supernatural, cuz I don't have an answer. And generally when we don't have an answer, there's a reason for that and it's supernatural. But you're right, you know, this constant barrage of the left seeming to disregard the safety of actual Americans trying to prove that this president compared to their last president has even one little screw loose. Seems to me like they're the crazy ones.

[David Brody]

They are.

[Mike Sorelli]

You know, Dr. Gina, I've had a lot of leaders, great leaders. I don't disagree. I don't agree with every decision they make or some of the things that they do. But I always look at their intent and I look at their heart and what they're trying to achieve. And guys, President Trump has the interest of the US People at his heart. That's his intent.

[Dr. Gina]

There's no other explanation.

[Mike Sorelli]

His hatred from the left is insane. You've got to remove that. It's not about likability, it's about respect. And he's making decisions in the best interest of the American people. But some people are just so far left that they can't see what he's trying to do for us, the American people.

[David Brody]

And the woke right is included in that, too. There are some far right folks. I mean, let's be clear about that. They're calling for the 25th Amendment, too. We gotta run. But I think our biggest, the biggest concern right now is resolve. Resolve is our biggest enemy right now in terms of the American people. They've got to stick with this. And I'm concerned about it. Mike Sorrilli, great to have you. Thank you, sir.

[Terrence Bates]

Thank you, Mike.

[David Brody]

All right, coming up, perspective from the ground in Israel. We're gonna go there live after the break. Back in a moment.

[Terrence Bates]

Here's a look at Jerusalem. We're going to be taking you to this region to talk more about the ongoing situation in Iran momentarily. Welcome back to American Sunrise. As I mentioned, we're continuing to follow the ongoing ceasefire with Iran over in the Middle east, the fragile agreement already being tested as Iran is reacting to the continued fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. However, the United States and Israel say the ceasefire does not include Lebanon. Israeli forces have continued to hit Hezbollah targets in the country, including large scale airstrikes across the region. Now Iranian state media reporting that the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz has been stopped following those strikes. That, of course, is critical in this ongoing ceasefire. Joining me now from Israel is Jerusalem Post writer and the Chairman of Judaism 3.0 think tank, Gaul Kalev. Gaul, good morning to you, sir. Thanks so much for being here with us.

[Gaul Kalev]

Good morning.

[Terrence Bates]

So put into context for us the reaction to this ceasefire there on the ground in Israel and specifically the fact that Lebanon is not part of this ceasefire, even though Iran is trying to make it part of the ceasefire.

[Gaul Kalev]

Yeah. The vice president, J.D. vance, made it clear yesterday that not only Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire, but if Iran tries to use the Lebanon issue, the Hezbollah, the attacks from Hezbollah as an excuse to violate the ceasefire, then they're going to bear the consequences. You know, they used to call Lebanon the Switzerland of the Middle East. It's a beautiful country. But now it's Iran of the Middle East. It's one of the many proxies, many platforms that Iran uses to export terrorism around the world. They've murdered hundreds of Marines going back to the 1980s. They murdered Europeans, they murdered Israelis. And now Israel is taking action and defending itself. So Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire. And we will continue exercising our right to defend ourselves.

[Terrence Bates]

It feels like from the outside looking in. And I'd love to give your perspective since you are on the ground that Iran is using this Lebanon issue as an off ramp, as an excuse to potentially restart attacks on Iran or even continue, excuse me, continue attacks on Israel.

[David Brody]

Yeah.

[Gaul Kalev]

It seems like Iran is saying that we want a deal in which in exchange for opening the straits, they will get a carte blanche license to launch terrorism around the world from the various proxies from Yemen, from Lebanon, to assassinate people. I mean, that is obviously not going to happen. And they have a different president in the White House than they had in the past. And President Trump made it clear that it's not going to happen. Vice President Vance made it clear it's not going to happen. So the only thing that he does it a little bit unmasks perhaps the intentions of the Iranians and how vigilant we have to stay relative to them.

[Terrence Bates]

You used the word intentions. So I'm going to go there. What do you think the real intentions are from the Iranian side going into these upcoming negotiations? Is this really simply about delaying the inevitable or are they coming to the table with real intentions, with truly trying to find peace? And I say all of that in light of this 10 point plan they've aired that just to anybody who is reasonable is clearly unreasonable.

[Gaul Kalev]

Yeah, I don't know that's the honest answer, but I do know that there's certain objectives of this war, including to deny Iran a path to a nuclear weapon and degrade their capabilities. And the president, President Trump as well as Prime Minister Netanyahu made it very clear that we will achieve those goals, whether it's diplomatically if Iran cooperates or militarily if they violate the ceasefire or after the ceasefire. I think that's what we're seeing here is not just an interaction between the US And Israel and the Arab world on the one hand and Iran on the other, but we're seeing an enormous amount of force, show of force in the United States towards Iran. I think what we're seeing is the first all out war in which it's crystal clear that the world is, has switched structures. We now have a sole superpower which is the United States, headed by a president who is switched frameworks from that of peace through appeasement to that of peace through strength. And I think it plays out very well here. This is not, you know, a Europe approved war, NATO, you know, based on the, NATO based on the, you know, ICC guidelines. This is a war that the President is waging based on his principle of America's first, what is best for America and by extension what is best for the free world. And that is exactly what we're seeing here. And Iran perhaps doesn't understand that. Iran perhaps thinks that they can again lead the President and play with him as they did with the previous president. Maybe they're hoping for a few airplanes coming their ways with a big stack of cash, but I don't think that's what's going to happen. I think President Trump and his partners, including Israel, are going to get this war objectives done, whether it's negotiation or militarily go.

[Terrence Bates]

We'll continue to cover this and we'll be calling on you for more perspective from on the ground there in Israel. Thanks as always for joining us.

[David Brody]

Thank you.

[Terrence Bates]

All right, more American Sunrise coming your way after this break. Shout out to the crew of the Artemis 2 mission. They are on their way back. I don't know if you saw the video of the crew there on board. They're headed back to Earth. Splashdown set for tomorrow. Welcome back, everybody. We're getting you ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It's set to ring here in just a few minutes and we'll take you there live. First though, let's get you over to Dr. Gina. Dr. G. Good morning.

[Dr. Gina]

Good morning. T. Listen, what if one of the oldest forms of human communication could become the Next digital community. I don't know. It's kind of cool. That's the idea behind the Daily Whistle. This is a unique online platform built around the simple yet powerful act of simply whistling. The concept is rooted in the belief that long before written language or even speech, humans used to sound use that sound to connect with one another. And that whistling can still communicate in a way words sometimes can't. The Daily Whistle gives users the chance to record short one minute whistled tunes, share them with a global community, and even to compete in ranked contests to see whose sound rises to the top. Right. That's so fun. Joining me now to discuss more is the Daily Whistles founder, David Kaiser. David, good morning. This is really fun. I think about things like Dr. G. What was it? I can hear it now. One of the 70s programs that started with the whole whistle tune. Was it Gilligan's Island? No. What was it? You've got to know.

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

Oh, Andy Williams, maybe?

[Dr. Gina]

No, Andy Williams. Was it Andy Griffith? Andy Griffith, Yeah, yeah. You know, those are great sentimental things. And it feels like whistling is sort of a little bit of a lost art. Why is that?

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

Well, the idea for this came to me at an inflection point in my own life. That was just about three years ago. I started thinking about creating a new type of website that focused on just one human talent that everybody could get involved in. It had to be fun, engaging, and an activity that could build into social groups and lead to promoting large outdoor engagements where many people would join in to participate. So the innate talent that I was inspired to use for this is, as you said, whistling just about everyone.

[Dr. Gina]

I might have to differ with you on everyone being able to do it. I've never been able to do it. I just spit and lisp. That's. That's it. That's my version of whistling.

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

Well, but you can get involved in this because you can either be an active whistler. Whistler. Or a willing to learn person who wants to listen or a listener who can just assist by voting on the best songs that we have up there. So who's the best whistler? That's what we're trying to determine.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, our control room is sounding really good right now. I have to tell you, it sounds a little like my alarm clock. I wake up to birds whistling and our control room sounds a little like that right now. So they might want to get in the game. It's so fun. How do people get involved and how does it work?

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

Well, it's very simple. You go to the website thedailywhistle.com and when you are ready to sign up just click the Join a Participate button or the Get Started free button. That'll take you to our app where you enter your email address and start your profile. We'll then send you an email verification that you have to click. That's just to confirm that it was you and then be sure be sure to check your spam folder and add our email address so any future messages will go right to your inbox.

[Dr. Gina]

I played on the website. It's a very self explanatory website, not complicated at all. I just want to say for the simple minded out there, I appreciate this. Tell us about the Star Spangled Banner Challenge.

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

Well, this idea is for the everyday work working man and woman who are out there trying to make a living making this country function. Why they go about their daily routine. So to support our country's 250th birthday celebration this year, as well as the World cup matches that the USA is hosting and competing in, and with the upcoming Olympics in 2028, it's time for all Americans to unite and celebrate the best of America. Our national anthem is so familiar and widely recognized that there's already hundreds of millions of people, many of which are already whistlers, who are readily familiar with it. We hear it at sporting events all the time. It's truly a source of national pride. So I'm asking all patriotic Americans to make their whistle heard by submitting your Stars Bianca banner entry on our website, sharing that on all your social media sites. And it's my belief that this will turn into a powerful tool that will help us drown out the people who want to destroy the country. It'll also be the tool that helps us hold the Senate and the House this fall in November and ensures that President Trump's policies will stay in effect.

[Dr. Gina]

Okay, but here's the only confusing part for me. I'm always looking at the business angle of everything because I love starting companies. Tell me, how does the Daily Whistle generate revenue?

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

We give you one free copy of our monthly newsletter and one free whistle upload so that you can try the platform and see if it something that works for you.

[Dr. Gina]

Yep.

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

Now we do sell an annual subscription to that that newsletter. It's just $12 a year and that gives you three additional uploads. So you could upload a total of four entries. And for the rest of April, just for real America's Voice customers, we have a coupon code that'll give you 25 off any purchases you make. Now between now and April 30th. So just use coupon code Rev25. That's Rev25, all caps at checkout. And you'll get 25 off your entire purchase.

[Dr. Gina]

I'd love to know the psychology behind whistling. We don't have time for that because we're done with this block now. But I imagine there's something like humming. I do a lot of humming. I'm not a good whistler, but I do a lot of humming. I think there's something in it that is soothing, that is traditional and throwback and sort of fun to look back and think about the days where people did a lot more of it. I think we should do more of it. David Kaiser, I think you're onto something. Thank you for being here today.

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

Thank you, Dr. Gina. Have a great day.

[Dr. Gina]

You do the same. Good luck with your celebration. It sounds fantastic. We're gonna head back to Terrence in Denver for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.

[Terrence Bates]

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Whistled us right into the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. I guess I really am whistling while I work here. All right, so let's get a quick look at how the markets are looking on this Thursday of trading. Not so hot to start things off. As you can see. The Dow Jones, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ are all down right now. There's a lot going on, a lot of uncertainty as Vice President J.D. vance and the US delegation heading over to Pakistan right now for negotiations with Iran. So it likely will be an up and down day on the markets as a result of all the uncertainty that's happening around the world. We'll continue to monitor all of it, all of this for you. And we'll probably be continuing to whistle as well. Still to come here on American Sunrise, a new Rasmussen poll shows how likely American voters really feel about the administration's push to place limits on birthright citizenship. We'll break down the numbers for you after the break.

[Dr. Gina]

Somebody just commented in the chat that they still watch Andy Griffith. So do I, my friend. And Gunsmoke and all of those shows, I just keep them on in the background for my, mostly for my son Sam, who I don't think needs to be watching most of what's on television today, but I also have a lot of rav on can't miss Bannon, et cetera. Anyway, welcome back to American sunrise. I'm Dr. G. Thanks for joining us this morning. We invite you to join the celebration. Celebration? Well, okay, we're having a celebration. Let's just go with that, shall we, on Getter and rumble and YouTube. It is time now to take the political pulse of America, provided that Gina can read. And here's the beat. Today, a new poll is shedding light on where Americans are stand on one of the most contentious issues before the Supreme Court right now. That is birthright citizenship. According to a new Rasmussen Report survey, 59% of likely U.S. voters now favor limits on birthright citizenship, a significant majority as the high court weighs this issue. The poll comes just days after oral arguments over President Donald Trump's executive order which challenged the long standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which has generally granted civilization citizenship to anyone born on US Soil. Joining us now with analysis, the host of America's Voice, live in the Steve Gruber Show. Steve, good morning. The problem is, you know, that China uses this and other enemies of ours use this birthright citizenship as well. I remember my husband warning me about this. Probably, gosh, I want to say like 20 years ago, my husband was like, you realize they do this and they're invading our country from within. And wisdom has always been from our founding fathers going back that we will be invaded, not from the outside, that if there's an end to America, it will come in the form of an interior invasion. And this is the perfect solution, isn't it, Steve, for our enemies to try to invade us and own us. And we've seen evidence of this.

[Steve Gruber]

We certainly have. But I think you've identified the wrong problem, Dr. G. With all due respect, I think the problem is Amy Coney Barrett and, and Chief Justice John Roberts. I think that's the real problem that we face in this conversation because, look, I hate to, you know, give away the, the story ending, but they're not going to rule in favor of the United States. They're going to rule in favor of birthright citizenship. That's what's going to happen. And it's probably going to be about six, three, maybe Gorsuch, Alito and Thomas will vote accordingly and properly. It was never intended for this. These are the, these are the amendments that were put into place right after the Civil War. The 13th, the 14th, the 15th, the 13th ended slavery. The 14th allowed those slaves to become, and their families to become full citizens. You know, it was, it was the final correction of the Democrat policies that led to the Civil War in the first place. So here we are looking at amendments that were put in place to fix the problems created by Democrats. And now the Democrats are trying to twist those very amendments to create more problems. And you're exactly right, Gina. Look, you've got birth tourism, the North Marianas Islands, I think they're called. There's a loophole there. So the Chinese go right into North Marianas Island, a US Territory, have their child fly out. The child goes back, is raised by the CCP or by people that are part of the CCP. In China, a child turns 18 or 20 years old, they send them back to America. Now they are an American. A voter could register, in fact, have to by law for selective service. They have to be part of the military draft. They can go to West Point. I mean, the problems are numerous.

[David Brody]

Right.

[Steve Gruber]

But you take that and you couple that with an open border, which the Democrats also support. No voter id, which the Democrats also support. Radical Islam, which the Democrats also support. I mean, we're getting hit from several different directions. This is just one symptom of a much bigger problem of all the people. And you're exactly right. What you were told inside our country, trying to destroy our country. I mean, China's a threat.

[Dr. Gina]

Steve, I want to point to something, and I'm totally disrespecting my co host, David Brody, who has the right to this next question. But I really want to ask you, because what you said, I thought was so profound in that the reason for the establishment of this in the very first place was slave families. But the Republicans, Steve, haven't made that point.

[Steve Gruber]

Well, they should.

[Dr. Gina]

They should.

[Steve Gruber]

They should make that point.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah.

[Steve Gruber]

The fact of the matter is the Democrats created a civil war that cost 600,000Americans their lives. At a time that there was a lot less people in this country that was a significant number of people killed, not to mention those that were permanently wounded and disfigured and had amputations from the Civil War. 600,000 people paid with their lives to end slavery. A Democrat proposition that we had to fight to stop. And then here we are, 100 and whatever years later, fighting to keep clean the very amendments that were put in place to give full citizenship to freed slaves and their families. And look, Jim Crow came from the Democrats, the Ku Klux Klan came from the Democrats. All of these policies lead back to one poisonous set of ideas or ideology, or whatever you want to call it. And it is time to tell the truth. And that's what I'm here to do whenever possible.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, I wish you'd call President Trump and the Republicans and have them use that narrative, because I think that would be effective. Go ahead, David. I'm so sorry.

[David Brody]

For sure. No, that's fine. Hey, Steve, let's change gears now. Okay, so. All right, don't roll your eyes, Steve, when I talk about Megyn Kelly. She's joining the likes of Tucker Carlson and making a routine out of slamming President Trump. So here she is, tearing into his recent truth post ahead of the ceasefire announcement. Take a look at this, dude.

[Dr. Gina]

I mean, I don't know about you,

[Host/Announcer]

but I am sick of this.

[Dr. Gina]

I'm just.

[David Brody]

I'm.

[Dr. Gina]

I'm sick of it. Can't he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the President? I3D. Yes.

[Host/Announcer]

Shut up.

[Dr. Gina]

Shut up about that shit.

[Host/Announcer]

You don't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization.

[Dr. Gina]

We're talking about civilians just casually in a social media post.

[David Brody]

Steve Floors.

[Steve Gruber]

I'm sorry, what? Yeah, look, it's exhausting. It's tiresome. I mean, I don't know whose payroll she's on. I don't even care. Somebody's getting paid by apac. Somebody's getting paid by Cutter. You know who I'm getting paid by? None of those people. I'm just here to tell you what I think. And what I think is you take down from Trump. Seriously, you don't take him literally. And by the way, at the end of that post that she's. And all these people blew up about. Look, was it over the top? Yep. So have. A lot of his posts are over the top. I think we can agree with that. It's over the top. But at the end, he said, God bless Iranian people, or however he phrased it. I don't have it right in front of me. But obviously he was not targeting 92 million people. Oh, he's going to use nuclear weapons. No, he's not, you idiots. And he didn't. He got a ceasefire. So, Megan And Tucker and Candace, they can all collectively go take a deep breath. How about that?

[Terrence Bates]

It's a family program.

[Steve Gruber]

It's a family program, Terrence.

[Terrence Bates]

It is a family program. And I appreciate you choosing your words wisely, unlike Megyn Kelly.

[Dr. Gina]

Yeah, right.

[Terrence Bates]

Exactly. Let's talk about your truth. Your truth is, Teller, I know you are. So I'd like to pick your brain a little bit on this upcoming negotiation that's happening in Islamabad, Pakistan. President Trump pulling out the big guns. And yes, that pun is intended as he's sending J.D. vance over as part of this negotiation team. What's your expectation? Is anything really going to come of this? I think we're all hopeful. I have to admit I'm a little pessimistic. I don't expect much to come of it. I'd love to get your thoughts. What are you thinking here? How are you feeling?

[Steve Gruber]

I expect absolutely nothing.

[Gaul Kalev]

Right.

[Steve Gruber]

I expect nothing. It's a good place to start, and here's why. If you have very low expectations, you can't be disappointed. Look, the Iranians do something exceptionally well. Lie. They've lied for 47 years. Oh, sure, you can come look at our nuclear materials until you say no. No, you can't. Yeah, we'll. We'll sign a deal with you. We'll take $1.7 billion in cash, and we'll make sure that we don't do anything wrong until they do. You can free up $6 billion, as the Biden administration did. Take the restraints off that money, too. You got 1.7 billion in cash from Obama. $6 billion released by Biden. So here's another seven or $8 billion. You can sell your oil to China at a $10 per barrel discount every day. We're not going to say anything about that. We're going to let that continue and to India and to some other countries as well. And we'll let you enrich yourselves because you promised you weren't going to make a nuclear weapon. But of course, you lied because China and Iran always work together, and both of those countries, by the way, lie. So do I expect anything? No. Do I hope that we can find resolution? Yes. I don't know who we're talking to because it's not particularly clear who's left to talk to after, you know, scores of leadership have been taken out by the US Military and Israel. I don't know who's left to talk to. They say there's somebody more moderate. Who is it? I don't know. You don't know? I'm not gonna sit here and speculate because I'm not Meghan, Candace or Tucker. I'm not just gonna fill in the blank with whatever pops in my mind or my mouth.

[David Brody]

Steve. The one wild card. So real quick, if I could follow up. The one wild card in all this. Unless the Trump administration wants an off ramp. If they want an off ramp, they'll spin this and figure out a way to get some sort of quote deal and say we accomplished victory. They've been bombed back 20 years and it's not going to happen on my watch. That could be the possibility.

[Steve Gruber]

You act like that's unique if they

[David Brody]

want the off ramp.

[Steve Gruber]

Yeah, but that's not unique. Every politician does that. At least we got on the road to try to change things. Unlike Keir Starmer or Macron or Mertz or any of those other weasels in Europe. At least we got on the road to try to correct the problem. Spent 50 years sitting there staring at all of us, killing us, blowing us up. From Al Shabaab in Africa to Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah. At least the Trump administration did something about it. I don't know what their off ramp plan is, but I do know that we're still parked there with the Gerald R. Ford and the rest of those naval ships ready to do whatever it takes. We've bombarded them for what, 38 days? And we could do more. We could take out their ability to deliver any oil. You know, yesterday Iran attacked the pipeline that runs from the Persian Gulf across Saudi Arabia to the Red sea, that moves 7 million barrels a day, which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz. That's what Iran did yesterday to Saudi Arabia. How long do you think they're going to put up with that? Saudi Arabia, that is, at some point, that's, that's going to come to a screeching halt too. Because Saudi Arabia is like, look, we got our pipeline in our country going to the Red Sea so we can download 7 million barrels a day, which, by the way, short circuits Iran's power at the Strait of Hormuz. Anyhow, I don't expect anything. I'm going in with no expectations. We'll see what happens. Good morning. That we can find resolution. And I'm hopeful we have a more moderate government in Iran that frees 92 million people from the shackles of theocracy. That's what I'm hoping.

[Terrence Bates]

We gotta finish the job. Like no off ramps. The job has gotta finish. And I don't know what that looks like, but I just feel like this has got to come to some sort of concrete conclusion. You can't just leave it out there. Just about the whole. Anyway, sorry. Thank you out loud.

[David Brody]

All right. Well, are we done?

[Steve Gruber]

Is that it?

[Producer/Technical Director M.D.]

It's over?

[David Brody]

Are we finished?

[Steve Gruber]

Not over till we decide it is.

[David Brody]

Yeah, Gina will decide when this segment is over. Gina, is this segment over?

[Dr. Gina]

At this point it says shows 40 seconds on my clock. So the answer to your question, Mr. Brody, is yes. Steve Gruber, thank you so much for being with us. We always appreciate your interest, insight.

[Steve Gruber]

See ya.

[Terrence Bates]

Appreciate you, Steve.

[Dr. Gina]

Coming up, eight scientists now dead or missing, some linked to UFO programs. You heard it right folks. Is this a coincidence? Is this something more? We're going to discuss this right after the break because you've been asking.

[Rachel Holt]

Let's spill some tea.

And in the cup today, a mystery surrounding missing scientists, some whom have been reported dead. The number of scientists who have turned up dead or missing has now risen to at least eight. Many of them linked to sensitive programs involving unidentified aerial phenomena. Among them a retired Air Force general with ties to UFO related research who vanished without a trace, leaving behind his phone and personal belongings in what investigators call a deliberate disappearance. Others include NASA scientists, lab researchers and defense related experts with cases ranging from unexplained disappearances to murders that still have no clear answers. For reaction, let's bring in David, Terrence and Dr. Gina. Gina, this is pretty shocking. What are your thoughts on this?

[Dr. Gina]

Well, I've been following it, Emily. I'm afraid I don't have a lot of wisdom here. I can't really understand. You know, I am all for most people who speculate about three letter agencies doing things like this. I don't think it's above some corruption in government to execute people. I really don't, especially under former administrations. But I can't even understand the motive here. I don't know. I really want to hear David and Terrence on this because I honestly have no idea what's going on here. I, I don't, however, buy into a coincidence of this many people being disappeared.

[David Brody]

David well, here's the thing. I mean, I've looked at, there's eight cases there. I've looked at about five of them. I haven't looked at all eight. But what I'm seeing is some of it feels happenstance, some of it feels sketchy. I'm not quite sure I see the tie in, but that's the point. Questions need to be asked. So let's start asking the. I mean, if we're ever going to be intellectually curious, this would be a good one for sure. Now, I will say this. The wife of one of the scientists there says it's ridiculous. UFOs did not take my husband and beam him up to someplace, a spaceship in the sky or whatever. So, I mean, there's some family members who are saying this is just not, this is just goofy stuff. So. But once again, we can't just take, we can't just say it's goofy and just move on. We really need to kind of look into this and, and you know, I think that should be for anything, especially this.

[Terrence Bates]

Tbh sure, there needs to be more investigation into all of these cases, but let's just be honest in the court of public opinion, these cases and these sorts of instances are going to lead to speculation, they're going to lead to the tinfoil theories about what may have happened to that. And that's what's really probably going to catch is really what's going towhat's going to gain momentum, if you will, that sort of conversation as opposed to the real investigation that needs to happen in order to get to the bottom of what really did happen. Again, we don't have any answers. We can speculate as much as anyone else, but the more we speculate, the more the public speculates, I think the more these sorts of stories and these cases are going to fall into the, you know, into the realm of people just coming up with all these conspiracies.

[Dr. Gina]

Well, but be careful. This comes at a time where President Trump has declassified a lot of things about alien invasion. Used to be a tinfoil hat thing. Terrence isn't anymore. Right. Also, this comes at a time where you have folks who are pretty credible, Anna Paulina Luna being one of them, and other senators and other congressmen saying that what Matt Gaetz said about this alien breeding program, I'm probably not getting this right, but that it was, that it was credible. This has not been totally dismissed. It sounds crazy to me too Terrence. It sounds like tinfoil hat stuff, but I'm just saying a lot of stuff we thought was tinfoil hat, guess what? It's not. And when you have congressmen and senators who have seen the files that we can't see saying, hey, what Matt Gaetz said isn't crazy, it really does. It makes your head go in weird places.

[David Brody]

David Brody, Congressman Tim Burchett also on that list of having seen not just questions but he's seen the stuff and we should get him on the show to talk about it. One last thing. Congressman Eric Burleson, another friend of the show says he's asking for the FBI to investigate this. FYI.

[Host/Announcer]

Yeah, interesting stuff all right.

[Terrence Bates]

It needs to be investigated for sure.

[Host/Announcer]

Still to come on American Sunrise, our own Terrance Bates is standing by with the story. He's keeping his eye on today. We're back in just a moment. Stay with us.
