Let's get a check of today's weather forecast. Joining us now is Weather Nation's Rob Bradley. Rob, good morning. What's on tap today?
- [04:41]
Weather Reporter Rob Bradley
Well, good morning and happy Thursday as we continue to track latest conditions across the country with multiple storm systems expected to move through the Northeast and the Southeast the next few days. While the west primarily stays warm and dry under a big ridge of high pressure, bringing record warmth to areas across the four corners. We've got a little bit more snow today moving through the Ohio Valley, eventually into the Mid Atlantic and parts of the Northeast tonight with heavy rainfall across the Southeast and even a chance for a couple of severe storms, areas like Birmingham, Greenville, Tupelo today could see the chance for damaging hail. We'll be tracking heavier rainfall as well through the Carolinas, parts of Tennessee and a little bit of snowfall with our first system that moves through portions of the Mid Atlantic. In the Ohio Valley today, however, another storm system is shaping up for the weekend that could bring even more snowfall to portions of the Northeast and the Ohio Valley on top of the 20 to 30 inches of snow they just saw the previous weekend with the blizzard and powerful nor' easter that moved through temperatures in New York today around 39, Minneapolis 43, Chicago 43, staying cooler across the Northeast and Midwest while the west is dealing with record warmth. Phoenix up there, 89 this afternoon. Record highs continue to fall across portions of Texas through the Four Corners all the way through Sunday as the big ridge of high pressure remains in control. Phoenix possibly even reaching the mid-90s by the time we get to Saturday afternoon with temperatures staying fairly warm as we get into your Friday as well. Back to you.
- [06:04]
Brian Glenn
All right, Rob, thank you so much. You can see Rob back on American Sunrise. All right. Now to our top story. High stake talks underway right now in Geneva. U.S. iranian officials sit down as we speak and what could be the final diplomatic push. The US Special envoy is led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Now this as President Trump amasses the largest U.S. military buildup in the Middle east in more than 20 years. Now the question this morning is deal or escalation? Joining us now is geopolitical analyst and senior editor to 1945com and the author of the Shadow Iran's Quest for Supremacy, Brandon Weikart. Brandon, good morning.
- [06:48]
Brandon Weikart
Good morning.
- [06:49]
Brian Glenn
These talks are happening right now. What are you sensing at the moment?
- [06:55]
Brandon Weikart
I don't think, again, I don't think these talks are serious. I think this is just more sort of part of the dance that's going on. That much firepower that's been amassed in the region is too much to ignore. I, I'm hopeful that, that maybe we get lucky. But, you know, the, the, the odds are that the President Trump has decided to go in. And I understand that there's problems with the USS Gerald R. Ford and that they're offloading at Crete to clear out the sewage problem. Uh, but ultimately, I do not believe that there is going to be an off ramp simply because the Israelis and Americans are demanding the Iranians get rid of their ballistic missiles. Those ballistic, basically the only line of defense the Iranian regime thinks it has. So there's no consensus here. And if they can't come to an agreement, I think by March 2, March 3, which is the Israeli holiday of Purim, I think that will probably Initiate strikes?
- [07:55]
Brian Glenn
Yeah. Were you surprised that he kind of had a touch and go in the State of the Union? Didn't spend a lot of time on this topic, although I feel like a lot of Americans are certainly paying attention to it. Did it surprise you that he didn't spend that much time on it the other night?
- [08:12]
Brandon Weikart
Well, it was, it disappointed me because this is a very big deal and I would expect any president, regardless of their party, to explain why we might be going to war. And whether it's an air war or boots on the ground, it's still a war. And it very easily could go pear shaped, which is what General Raisin Cain, his joint chief of staff chairman that he handpicked told him right before the speech. So I was a little disappointed in that. But ultimately I'm not surprised because, you know, this thing is very controversial and Trump wanted to keep the State of the Union address positive and he wanted to be seen as sort of dominating the space. So he didn't want to have any question of, you know, will they, won't they? But I was a little disappointed because any president should be explaining why this is necessary because, as you know, I don't believe this right now is necessary.
- [09:02]
Brian Glenn
I agree. All right, let's turn attention real quickly. Your latest report asked a stunning question. I hope our viewers are ready for this. Did the CIA play a role in the rise of the Mexico's cartels? Your site claims that US Intelligence may have managed parts of the drug trade during the height of Mexico's bloodshed. It's explosive. What exactly are you alleging right now?
- [09:27]
Brandon Weikart
Yeah, so in my research into the issue in Mexico right now, basically the, it looks like the CIA on some level has had significant covert influence on the drug trade. And this has been confirmed by multiple Mexican government officials. And the concern right now is that this issue in Mexico with cjng, which is this cartel that's raging across the region, might actually have connections to CIA. Dozens and dozens of their top fighters trained with NATO in Ukraine. They then shifted back to CJ&J and G. And they applied that, those new techniques they learned fighting the Russians in Ukraine for the cartel in Mexico. Those you're now seeing on your screen, some of those techniques. Also the leader, El Mencho, who was supposedly taken out last Sunday, well, he was previously captured by the Mexican government in 2012 and was released within 24 hours under, quote, outside pressure. Who's outside pressure? I'm assuming it's, it's some element of US intelligence. And I think this gets back to that 2012 report in Al Jazeera where Mexican officials were claiming that the CIA was managing secretly the CIA trade. And I think the ultimate goal here is to create enough chaos in Mexico so that the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who is very much opposed to the United States, she's not on our side. I think it's to create enough pressure on her to get her to say to Trump, please send U.S. troops to end this crisis because our guys can't do it. And we know that Trump has wanted to take operational control of the security situation because he doesn't trust Sheinbaum. So this could easily be some form of a covert operation to create enough chaos using our proxies so that we, we can then justify sending some degree of troops into Mexico, which otherwise the, the President of Mexico, she doesn't want to do it. Plus, President Sheinbaum's party, the Moreno party, the far left party, has deep t to the Sinaloa cartel. And the Sinaloa cartel is at war with the CJNG cartel that's currently tearing across the country. So there's a lot of layers here and there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff that is not being reported in the corporate press.
- [11:51]
Brian Glenn
I was just going to say when I saw that story that we were going to talk about that, I said, what were you writing a script for a movie? That's what this sounds like. You literally just laid out probably a pretty blockbuster movie.
- [12:03]
Brandon Weikart
Yeah, maybe it could be Sicario 3, perhaps.
- [12:08]
Brian Glenn
So how, how does this end? I mean, what, what do you think the final scene is in this relationship between the CIA and these drug cartels? Well, I think the Sheinbaum ask for Trump to come in and with military and help. I mean, I don't think Sheinbaum is
- [12:25]
Brandon Weikart
really in control anymore. I think the Secretary, their equivalent of the Secretary of Defense, seems to be running everything. I think she's quietly been sidelined. And I think that if this crisis continues, that the Mexican military will request officially for US Troops to, to come in to assist. And I think ultimately that will probably be a good thing for the United States, is certainly a good thing for Trump. And you know, this is part of his western hemispheric defense strategy. You know, he's gone after Maduro successfully. He's collapsing the Cuban regime with this blockade and he's going after now Sheinbaum indirectly. Sheinbaum, though, is not our friend. So I think this could end up working well. Plus, as we talked about before, those cartels will not know what hit them if US Military force is applied.
- [13:15]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, I agree. I don't care how long they trained to fighting Russia troops, they will have no idea. All they have to do is look at what happened in Venezuela. Okay, we got about a minute and a half. You look at both these engagements, one all the way across the world, Israel, Iran situation, you've got this, you've got all the other stuff. Ukraine, Russia, fast forward one year from today. What is solved, what is resolved or and what is out of control. Your guess?
- [13:45]
Brandon Weikart
Well, I think that we will have a tighter grip on the Western hemisphere, which is a good thing. Panama just sees the Chinese holdings in the Panama Canal. That's a win for Trump. I think. Unfortunately, though, we're probably going to be mired in a major regional war in Iran. If Trump does ultimately pull the trigger, this thing could destroy his presidency the same way Iraq war did to George W. Bush.
- [14:09]
Brian Glenn
Yeah. How about Ukraine, Russia, where we stand there a year from now?
- [14:12]
Brandon Weikart
Oh, I think the Russians are taking their time and doing what they want to do. I think they'll take Odessa before all is said and done. I don't think there's any real urge from the Trump administration to finish up that war. And that's a real tragedy.
- [14:24]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, yeah, it is. I was just looking on my timeline, I had a one year reminder that I was in the East Room and I asked President Trump about the war in Ukraine and how it was, you know, they were making progress. And all of a sudden you kind of look at now, we're still sitting on today's date. Really not a whole lot of progress there. So anyway, Brandon, thank you so much. Always something to talk about here, right?
- [14:46]
Brandon Weikart
Yes, sir. Absolutely. Until we see each other again.
- [14:50]
Brian Glenn
You got it, my friend. We'll see you. Thank you. All right, coming up, Hillary Clinton in the hot seat. Her closed door deposition in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Starting this morning, lawmakers are prepared to ask, and what comes tomorrow? Well, when Bill Clinton shows up, it's his turn. We're on it. And later, our own Ben Berkwam confronts Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry as he heads to a Democrat State of the Union protest. Listen, listen to this.
- [15:22]
Ben Burkholm
Mayor Fry, why do you think these politicians are protecting illegal aliens over American citizens?
- [15:29]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
What's that?
- [15:30]
Ben Burkholm
Why do you think these politicians are protecting illegal aliens over American citizens? Everybody deserves some protection and some safety, don't you think?
- [15:36]
Brian Glenn
Yeah. And he always does it with a smile. That and a whole lot more on the other side of the break. Stick around. Welcome back to America's Sunrise early edition. I am Brian Glenn live look at the White House. Good to have you with us this morning. We're tracking the White House, the markets and the stories shaping your day. And as always, we invite you to join the conversation on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. We're live and we are listening. Take a picture, post it up. We'll share it where you're watching us. I love it. Quick check on Wall street as we head toward today's opening bell. Strong session on Wall street on Wednesday. The Dow up 307 points, closing at 49, 482. The Nasdaq jumping to 88, finishing at 23, 152. And the tech Scotts are leading the rally ahead of Nvidia's highly anticipated earnings report. Investors pushing past recent volatility as confidence returns to the market. Crude oil settling at $65.42 a barrel. That's down a third of a percent. Natural gas closing at $2.86. And the 10 year yield at 4.05%. That's ticking slightly higher on the day. That's your check of the market as we head towards the opening bell. Now to our top story. Hillary Clinton set to be deposed in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and it's happening just hours from now. She'll be questioned by the House Oversight Accountability Committee after an unanimous subpoena forced the testimony. The session is being heard near the Clinton's home in Chocobah. Hope I said that right. New York, not on Capitol Hill. It will take place behind closed doors, but transcribed in videotape with lawmakers promising those transcripts will be made public. Now the focus, the Clintons ties to any related documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The big question is what will she say under oath? Joining us now is William America's Voice national political reporter Neal McKay. This deposition is outside of Washington, but how historic in this moment for Capitol Hill and for the country that this takes place?
- [18:00]
Neal McKay
Well, I think first of all, it's interesting because how do you compel someone to actually talk? We saw in Trump 45, they called people to testify and they would just blow it off. Usually what happens is if someone is a lawyer, they will testify because if you fail to testify, they can go after your law license. Neither of the Clintons have active law licenses, but they do. Trump does have a DOJ that will now do what he says the first term. He really didn't have a DOJ that was that would do what he says. So if you can be prosecuted for contempt of Congress, you're probably going to show up and that's where there's the hammer. And so it'll be interesting to see what happens. Like you said, it's in Chappaqua. And that's kind of the high level negotiations where, you know, we're not going to do it on the Hill. Obviously you have a former president, former first lady, and this is different from those hearings as you know, a hearing, you have five minutes for the Republicans, five minutes. It's this ridiculous ping pong where nothing gets done in these depositions. Closed door. The Democrats will have 30 minutes, the Republicans will have 30 minutes where you can really have guys deep down dig into what, what they're actually saying and what people need to know.
- [19:16]
Brian Glenn
Brian, what do you think we'll really find out? We had an attorney on the show, I guess, earlier in the week it was just saying, don't say more than five words. Right. Or I'll kill you or I'll kill you pretty much. Right. But is that you think, are we gonna learn anything or is it gonna just, I don't recall, are we gonna get a bunch of that?
- [19:37]
Neal McKay
I don't think Hillary's gonna say, you're right. You got me.
- [19:41]
Brian Glenn
Right.
- [19:42]
Neal McKay
But there are gonna be sort of certain structural things and timelines where they're triangulating. They've already talked to other people and there are things that she can't worm her way out of. And it'll just validate timelines. They want, and they want to know associations, especially when you have, you know, the Clinton foundation involved. You know, the two lawyers involved for the Clintons are David Kendall and Cheryl Mills. So anybody who's followed Whitewater or any of those scandals of the Clinton years, those names should ring a bell. And so, you know, maybe they'll go into State Department things because Epstein wormed his way into so many businesses and institutions. We'll see what the connections are. And they may not know everything that James Comer and his committee have. So they. I'm not saying there's going to be any big scandal or break, but it will validate things that they've learned from other people.
- [20:34]
Brian Glenn
This is very interesting. Out of all the years you've been on the Hill and you've covered a lot of stories, where does this one rank as far as the, the, the amount of media attraction and attention that it's getting?
- [20:47]
Neal McKay
What's interesting for me for this story is the Epstein thing was driven, I believe, in the beginning because of the rivalry between Charles and Andrew in England. Charles and his team knew that Andrew was involved he resented Andrew and he would, he wouldn't let the Epstein thing die, but it was coming from England. It's interesting how it's played in the United States because we really haven't had the huge scandals. Larry Summers, who was treasury secretary under Clinton, he just resigned his position at Harvard. But we're seeing people all over the world resign. Bill Gates is coming forward with stuff.
- [21:21]
Terrence Bates
We'll see.
- [21:21]
Neal McKay
I mean, there's people waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm waiting for like a thousand other shoes to drop.
- [21:27]
Brian Glenn
I think the rest of the world is, too. Neil, where, where can people follow me on social media?
- [21:31]
Neal McKay
You find me at reporter McCabe on all the socials.
- [21:35]
Brian Glenn
Brian, thank you so much. I appreciate. Boy, we're watching that thing closely. All right. Thank you. All right. Now to another big headline. Old Glory bank is expected to go public in just a few months. That's right. Old Glory bank expects to be listed on the nasdaq, which means everyday Americans who love this country will be able to own stock in a bank that actually stands for them, the economy, the defi economy, traditional values.

That that's oldglorybank.com rav for all your information on that. All right. We come back, new headlines out of Washington and from our Denver newsroom, the stories that matter to you the most. That's all ahead on america's SUNRISE EARLY edition. Stick around. Live. Look at the White House this morning. Not as cold as it's been, but it is cold. Welcome back, AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. Glad that you're with us this morning. We invite you to join the conversation on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. We're live and we are listening. Let's head over to the Denver newsroom for the latest headlines with Terrence Bates. Good morning, Terrence. Hey, Brian.
- [23:16]
Terrence Bates
Good morning. And my apologies in advance. I haven't had my coffee yet, so the teleprompter is looking a little bit blurry. And just in general, I'm a little bit off my game at this point. Give me some coffee and I'll be a different man. So look, you've been talking about it this morning, Brian, and it is the big story of the day. Hillary Clinton is going to be in the hot seat as congressional investigators are going to depose her as part of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the Depositions are happening in New York, though, while the testimony will happen in private. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who is expected to lead the questioning, says, and this is a quote, will publish the video and transcripts of the, of the Clinton depositions just as quickly as the Clintons approve it. The former first couple finally decided to speak with congressional investigators after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee voted along with Republicans on the panel to hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress after they failed to show up for previously scheduled depositions. President Clinton, by the way, scheduled to testify tomorrow in what will be an extraordinary case of a former president being dragged before Congress to get dressed down over his alleged ties to disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. And Brian, that is going to be a huge thing. I feel like, though, Brian, the Clintons still have so much power right now, they're still able to influence so much of how this is going down, saying, oh, we have to approve the transcripts in the video that you're going to release. Really, you know, Congress, you have questions. This is a congressional proceeding, even if it's not happening on the Capitol. Seems like Congress should have all of the, all of the authority here. Seems like to me you would.
- [24:54]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, you would think so. But as kind of Neil McCabe laid out, you know, the kind of high power individuals, they're going to, you know, opting to do it in New York, not coming to Washington on the Hill. So we'll see what those transcripts, transcripts in the video shows. And I would imagine there's going to, I don't think we're going to learn much. I think, I think, I do not recall will be a common phrase.
- [25:17]
Brandon Weikart
Right.
- [25:18]
Terrence Bates
Let's not forget Hillary Clinton is a lawyer.
- [25:21]
Brian Glenn
Exactly.
- [25:22]
Terrence Bates
She was a lawyer in her previous life. So she's going to know how to skirt issues and how to give very vague answers, answer the question, but don't really give much perspective. I would tend to agree with you there, Brian. So look, here's another story I've been watching and you've probably seen this as well, Brian. The U.S. state Department along with the Department of Homeland Security and the Coast Guard are on the job investigating a deadly shootout involving 10 passengers on a speedboat that was registered in Florida and Cuban soldiers. Cuba claims the armed Cubans who were, who live in the United States, excuse me, were trying to infiltrate the island and quote, unleash terrorism. Four people on that boat out of the United States were reportedly killed, six others hurt. A Cuban officer was hurt as well.
- [26:07]
Ben Burkholm
The majority of the facts being publicly reported. Are those by the information provided by the Cubans? We will verify that independently. Suffice it to say it is highly unusual to see shootouts in open sea like that. It's not something that happens every day. It's something, frankly, that hasn't happened with Cuba in a very long time.
- [26:30]
Terrence Bates
Secretary Rubio Bryan going on to say that the US plans to independently confirm Cuba's claims. Are you buying what Cuba is selling? Do you think that's the whole story or is there more to this?
- [26:41]
Brian Glenn
There's probably a little bit more to that. And when we talked in an earlier segment. I just want to stay out of the waters altogether. Anywhere in the Caribbean, anywhere in the Atlantic in that part of the world. I'm not running a boat. It seems like the world gets. It seems like an action movie every time one of these stories pops up. So I don't know what to believe. There's probably a little bit more that we don't know. Yeah.
- [27:03]
Terrence Bates
I would tend to agree. I can't wait for the US's investigation to come out. I want to hear our side of the story.
- [27:10]
Brian Glenn
Yeah. That's part two. All right. Terrence, stay with us. We'll get with you on the other side of America Sunrise. We always appreciate it. Okay. All right. Well, moment outside the Capitol. Very own Ben Burkhorn running into Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry as he headed to a Democrat State of the Union protest. Ben asking him directly, should ICE officers be protected? Here's how the mayor responded. Take a listen.
- [27:38]
Ben Burkholm
Mayor Frye, why do you think these politicians are protecting illegal aliens over American citizens?
- [27:46]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
What's that?
- [27:46]
Ben Burkholm
Why do you think these politicians are protecting illegal aliens over American citizens? Protection. Some safety, don't you think?
- [27:52]
Brian Glenn
Yeah.
- [27:53]
Ben Burkholm
All the angel families that have been killed because we've allowed illegal. Mass illegal migration. Yeah, but you're protecting illegal aliens in your city at the expense of your constituents.
- [28:05]
Terrence Bates
And you're.
- [28:05]
Ben Burkholm
And you're calling on your police. You're calling on your police to obstruct.
- [28:10]
Brian Glenn
Not that.
- [28:10]
Brandon Weikart
Both of them.
- [28:11]
Ben Burkholm
ICE operations.
- [28:12]
Terrence Bates
None of the things you're saying are true.
- [28:14]
Ben Burkholm
So should ice? Should ICE be protected? But do they have a right to do their job and be. And not be obstructed by protesters? Radical leftists whistling. Obstructing their operations.
- [28:27]
Brian Glenn
Here's the thing. Yeah.
- [28:28]
Ben Burkholm
We aren't talking about ICE doing normal ICE stuff. They were until you guys started obstructing them and tried to run them over with your vehicles and whis.
- [28:35]
Brian Glenn
Blowing your whistles.
- [28:36]
Ben Burkholm
I've been on 10 different ice rides. It is true. It is true. Minnesota deserves better. That's Mayor Fry, everybody. Scumbag and a traitor.
- [28:52]
Brian Glenn
There is nobody better to do that than Ben Burkholm. I saw him with Joy Reid. There's a video you might have seen on social media where he was walking alongside Jordan Reed after their protests and he was just asking her questions. And of course, her handlers were cursing him out. But the whole time, Ben Burkholm had a smile on his face and he was saying, you got it. God bless you. So appreciate it. Ben Burkholm. All right, moving on. February is national Cancer Prevention awareness month. The reality most cancers aren't genetic. They're linked to lifestyle environmental factors. That means prevention matters. The wellness company is focused on on giving Americans trusted medical guidance and practical alternatives with doctors, you know, like Peter McAuliffe. Dr. Peter McAuliffe joins us now. He's a chief scientific officer for the Wellness Center. Dr. Most cancers aren't genetic. They're lifestyle driven. It's choices you make every day. What does that mean for everyday Americans watching us right now that they could take a step?
- [29:59]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
Well, you're right. Lifestyle factors have a big influence. There are genetic underpinnings for some cancers. For instance, colon cancer being a big one. Our national cancer statistics now show in 2021, 2022, colon cancer has emerged as the leading killer for individuals under age 50. So there's a genetic underpinning. Of course, genetics don't change that rapidly, so it must be environmental factors. And there we have, you know, data suggesting diets. There are diets that are relatively pro cancer and diets that are anti cancer. And so what we want to do at the wellness company is orient diets. So they're rich in the cancer fighting, medicinal, culinary herbs. And we use various forms of supplements, including the shield system.
- [30:51]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, you look at also alcohol is one of those factors in smoking. I mean, obviously there's, I don't think of any health benefit from smoking, obviously, but those are two things that you can control as well.
- [31:03]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
That's true. You know, our former surgeon general had it right where alcohol was listed now as a cancer causing substance. And I've been following the data. You know, alcohol consumption in the United States is plummeting. It's plummeting. People are drinking less. Alcohol is related to the upper throat and esophageal gastric cancers. Smoking, of course, related to the head and neck cancers as well as lung cancer. Smoking. When we were kids, smoking was about 50% of the US population. Now it's somewhere around 17% or lower. But clearly, reducing these cancer risks reduces cancer. And that's a good thing.
- [31:46]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, that is a good thing. All right, so what are some of the environmental exposures that people should be paying attention to?
- [31:53]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
Yeah, I think for sure for skin cancer, it's really the sunlight, the ionizing forms of energy that we get through sunlight. That is for sure. There are certain chemicals that individuals are exposed to. You may have heard recently about glyphosate. That's Roundup. That has at least epidemiologically been linked to lymphoma. There are exposures that people can have in the workplace. We try to minimize them through diet. You know, the biggest exposures are charbroiled meat that is linked to colon cancer. So besides eliminating these environmental exposures, we want to orient ourselves to an anti cancer diet. So that's a diet that's rich in what's called cruciferous vegetables. Kale, broccoli, asparagus, brussels sprouts, and then, of course, nutraceuticals and supplements, which we're working on at the wellness company.
- [32:52]
Brian Glenn
All right, all right. Because when you look at kind of like where the cancer rates were back in the 1950s compared to now, I'd imagine it's completely spiked. But are there natural compounds with strong evidence for prevention? I mean, there are things that you can take to prevent that.
- [33:08]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
Well, yeah, you're right. Cancer's on the way up, partly due to screening and detection. And I'm greatly concerned about emerging data that both SARS CoV2 infection and COVID19 vaccination may actually increase cancer. Both of them. And it's because both contribute the spike protein from the virus to the body that drops our defense systems against cancer. And that's what we're trying to do with products like Scheele that has various forms of extracts from mushrooms and oregano leaf and others, the medicinal and culinary herbs that we can boost our own cancer defense systems. And SHIELD is taken three times a day. And there's also a drink. Many of my cancer patients are doing this. I think it's wise. In total, when we start to combine nearly a dozen active botanicals, we can move the needle in terms of reducing cancer recurrence.
- [34:06]
Brian Glenn
Now, I told you this before we came on. I said, Dr. McAuliffe, you're saving lives. You're doing God's work. Right now, viewers, right now, put that information up for S.H.I.E.L.D. again, if we can. We're in the studio One more time. I want you to go to the website. Dr. Peter McAuliffe, what is the best source website for people to go to and get this stuff? Because it's a, if you got loved ones in your life, you want them to live as long as they possibly can. They may not have the best habits on eating and drinking and smoking, but if they take this, it at least gives them a little bit of advantage.
- [34:38]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
Oh, for sure. You can take it further. Wellness company also has Ivermectin membenazole combination which is now active in clinical trials. It's used off label for cancer treatment. So go to TWC Health Rav 10 and then you'll get your discount there. Sign up as a member for the Wellness Company. Get this information every day. We form the company through the pandemic to provide solutions where the government and the medical orthodoxy is not. And boy, we're delivering.
- [35:08]
Brian Glenn
I'm so glad you're doing that. Dr. Peter McCullough, thank you so much for joining us this morning.
- [35:13]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
Thank you.
- [35:14]
Brian Glenn
Thank you. All right, coming up, Congressional stock trading back in the spotlight. Why it's illegal for you, but it's legal for them. That debate coming up next. Live look at Chicago. I guess if you look far enough, you'll be able to see perhaps the new stadium for the Chicago Bears in Indiana. I don't know too soon. Bears fans, I'm sorry. Welcome back. AMERICAN sunrise EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. Glad to have you with us this morning. We're tracking the headlines and as always, we invite you to join the conversation on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. We're live and we are listening. Alright. One of the most brazen double standards in Washington is congressional stock trading. If you trade on the inside information as an everyday American, well, you can go to prison. But members of Congress can buy and sell stocks while writing laws that move the markets. President Trump calling it out during his address urging lawmakers to pass a Stop Insider Trading act that bans the practice. And taking a direct shot at Nancy Pelosi's, whose family trades have faced years of scrutiny and tens of millions in profit. Take a listen. Let's also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information. They stood up for that. I can't believe, I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up if she's here, doubt it. Pass the Stop Insider Trading act without delay. Nancy Pelosi later on cnn, visibly caught off guard when pressed on the issue. Take a listen to this. There was one moment, Madam speaker, where he called you out specifically around, of course, congressional stock trading. What do you say back to him?
- [37:55]
Nancy Pelosi
I say back to him as that's what members said. Look at your own self. The inference he wants to draw is there was something wrong with that, which there wasn't. And if there was, people get prosecuted for it. For a long time now we've been trying to pass this law. It doesn't have now it has more support than it had before. And Elizabeth Warren stood up and applauded.
- [38:19]
Brian Glenn
Elizabeth Warren stood and applauded tonight when the President talked about it.
- [38:24]
Nancy Pelosi
Well, that we all did. I did too. He said, did Nancy stand up? Yeah, I did too. A lot of people stood up. A lot of Democrats stood up. I think that will pass depending on what the bill is. I mean, what we had, we thought we could pass. It was actually a tougher bill than Governor Spanberger had put forth. We thought it could pass, but it was clear that it wasn't going to make it to the House and the Senate. But in the event he gives his shout out, I don't, you know, pay any attention to him. What I'm concerned about is our democracy, which he is destroying.
- [39:01]
Brian Glenn
All right. Joining us now is government fraud expert Marlee Hornick, CEO of Real America Vote Marley. When you watch that moment, do you see embarrassment or a political class that will protect itself from profits above all else?
- [39:20]
Podcast Host
Honestly, Brian, what I see is an 85 year old woman who obviously is on auto vote just like her president she supported was the auto pen. So I think we have a real problem here. Yes, insider stock trading is part of the problem, but you know, the founders actually they wanted our representatives to serve during good behavior. This is a major theme and feature of the Federalist Papers, something Madison and Hamilton and Jay wrote to convince the people of New York to ratify the Constitution in the first place and actually put people into these positions of authority which everybody was a little bit skeptical of. And I think we can see why these people are not just supposed to be not committing crimes and not coercing and using the system for a private benefit. They are supposed to be trustworthy. They are supposed to be honorable and operating on behalf of the American people. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi's stock return rate has by some accounts reached 17,000%, which is an impossible number if you're not using a rigged system. So I thought it was brilliant of the President to bring this up because it really harkened back and he actually did it deliberately, not just with Pelosi, but he hearkened back to the rigged system speech that he gave on the campaign trail in 2016. I think everybody remembers when he came out and he said, you know it, I know it, everybody knows that. So what are we doing? We have to follow the laws that Nancy Pelosi oversaw, right. That included the bailout of the banks after the 2008 crash. She presided over the Obamacare, she presided over the American Rescue act, the greatest act of coercion the federal government has ever instituted, forcing all federal employees and people across the country to get the, the COVID vaccine. And now she's presided over J6. Who is she working for?
- [41:27]
Brian Glenn
Good question. You know, people need to understand that when you have someone in Congress or Senate that's in a leadership position or they sit on a committee where they actually, you know, negotiate contracts as far as agreements to go forward with a company in the private sector or an industry, those are the ones that know what's going to happen. If there's a member that's not in leadership and they're not on any kind of high ranking committee and nothing in the military, then often they, they're not quite aware of something happening. No. So there is a, they're tempted so much, they know the next foot that's going to drop. They know the next step. And on a course of, of action on a committee, it gives them an unfair advantage. Now it's interesting what she said she would vote on it depending on what it is. Well, what is the, what it is that she, that she likes and what does she not like? It should be just, you can't trade stocks. You can't buy and trade and sell stocks.
- [42:33]
Podcast Host
Right. And think about how much bigger government grew under her leadership and during her tenure in Congress. And you were mentioning off air, you were mentioning those TSP accounts, the thrift saving plan accounts. So these are accounts that are granted to every federal employee and as you said, they have an unusually high rate of return. Now on the one hand, hey, we want people in America to make money. On the other hand, is the growth of the federal bureaucracy under her leadership related to these accounts which are one of the privileges and benefits of a federal position? Are there more federal positions now siphoning off American taxpayers bank accounts in order to keep that giant bureaucratic state or the administrative state operating and frankly interfering in our representation with our president that we have chosen? And we see that really extremely right now with judicial interference, administrative interference with the policies the Americans voted for? So there are so many questions that he raised with that one single jab at Pelosi, far beyond profit over people, you know, what are the real motives driving Congress. We know the American people broadly feel betrayed by Congress. That is not a partisan issue for once. And why is that? Because we get it. We see the system is rigged, just like Trump said all the way back in 2016. We get it.
- [44:05]
Brian Glenn
Yeah.
- [44:06]
Podcast Host
And I want to have you back. I thought the SODU was brilliant because he emphasized American heroes and American heroism. He is working not just to fix the economy, but to change the culture back to what the founders wanted, back to what our true potential is. And I thought that was a huge win for America.
- [44:27]
Brian Glenn
It was indeed. Marley, I want to have you back on and talk about those TSP accounts because if people knew exactly the rate of return on these accounts, and I'll lay it out six ways a Sunday on this, I think our viewers need to know about what's happening on these other things. I'm not saying that they shouldn't have retirement accounts, but boy, when you see the rate of return, you're going to freak out. Marley, thanks so much for joining us this morning.
- [44:49]
Podcast Host
Thanks, Brian. Good to see you.

- [45:40]
Dr. Peter McAuliffe
There you go.
- [45:55]
Brian Glenn
All right, there's a live look outside the West Wing. That is called the stakeout. And apparently they've got some showers in the forecast. That's why they have a protective covering over the microphone podium. That's where you might see Carolyn Levitt, Scott Besson or any one of the cabinet members step out and deliver some remarks. The little green tents back there. Yeah, that's what we stand. Welcome back, American Sunrise EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. Joining us now to break all the all of pebble beach down all of pebble beach is the one and only David Brody. David, welcome.
- [46:26]
Ben Burkholm
Hello, Brian. Glenn, great to see you as always, sir.
- [46:30]
Brian Glenn
Yeah. Okay, so lots going on in the world right now. We've got the Clintons testifying. Hillary today, Bill tomorrow. You've got negotiations going on in Geneva. Right. With some of that. So. So today's kind of like we're kind of ending the week on negotiations and testifying, and we'll see what comes out of that.
- [46:53]
Ben Burkholm
Yeah, a couple of things. First of all, I always keep my weekend plans open based on what's potentially going to go on in Iran. That's number one.
- [47:01]
Brian Glenn
Right.
- [47:02]
Ben Burkholm
So, like, if I'm at Cracker Barrel, I got to have the phone next to the, you know, cholesterol inducing, you know, potatoes and pancakes. But beyond all of that. Listen, let me just say. Is it just me? Help me through this. So Hillary Clinton is testifying today. Husband Bill, I've heard of him. He testifies tomorrow. I'm sorry, can we get the timing a little bit better on that? So let me get this straight. So Hillary Clinton's gonna go into a closed door deposition with testimony in the whole nine yards. You know, it's gonna be recorded, then she's gonna be done for the day. And then what happens? Then she goes home to Bill and they have a nice, you know, $175 dinner and she says, hey, Bill, let's get our story straight. This is what I said. What are you gonna say tomorrow? Let's make sure we're on the same page. I mean, can we have like, dueling depositions like on the same day in two separate rooms with two separate Clintons? To me, that's the way to do this. I'm a little confused as to why Hillary's going first and Bill's going second. That screams like collusion, if you will.
- [48:05]
Brian Glenn
To me it does, but that's what they negotiated and they're doing it in New York. I mean, they're not even coming here to the Hill, so, I mean, they're doing the comfort of their own home, basically. No, I'm with you on this, but James Comer says we're going to see the full video, the full transcript. Obviously, it might be months from now, but we will eventually see it. But also. Okay, what's also coming up on the big show here in about six minutes.
- [48:31]
Ben Burkholm
Yeah, we have Congressman Pete Sessions that will be here at the top of the show. And by the way, I'm ready for Hillary Clinton to say in her testimony today, what difference does it make? Let's wait for that line.
- [48:41]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, you can also wait with I do not recall. You'll hear that a lot as well. Right? David, thank you so much. We appreciate it. We'll see you on the other side. And for us, that is goodbye for now. But we'll see you back here tomorrow at 7am I am on my way to Texas here for the Trump rally. Tomorrow I'll be live in Corpus Christi. We'll see you. Goodbye. God bless. Goodbye.
