American Sunset Sunrise EARLY EDITION on Real america's VOICE starts now. All right, Happy Thursday, everybody. Thanks for tuning in for America SUNRISE EARLY edition. Lots in the news. We'll get to that. But first, joining us in today's forecast and the weather nations is Tracy Anthony. Good morning, Tracy. For all of you right now, if you see the little at the bottom of the screen, you can scan that QR code to join the Weather Nation family. And even better, if your hometown forecast awaits, head over to the Real America voice chats on Getter and rumble and YouTube. And in the 9 o' clock hour of America Sunrise, if you are selected, will deliver your hometown forecast will be a part of the fun excitement right there on Weather Nation. And Tracy, we'll get to a story that you and I were talking about off camera that I don't, I want no part of. But first, the forecast for today, you.
C
Know, kind of the same story as yesterday. We've got the same pattern breakdown where we've got the cold arctic air across the Great Lakes and the east coast. And the ridge out west is bringing the record warmth. So once again, areas like LA going to be in the upper 80s, close to 90s. But that's going to be changing here in a couple of days. So we're going to kind of do a weather 180. But let me get you through the day today and out the door this morning we've got teens across the Great Lakes down to the Ohio Valley out west. We're in the 30s, 40s, even Phoenix starting off the day in the 60s. And your afternoon highs will be a lot warmer now. Not a ton of moisture around the region. The low that has been impacting the Southeast is pushing offshore. It will be impacting South Florida here for the day today. And then we've got a little clipper system moving across the Great Lakes that will bring a little dusting of snow. But the next system behind it is going to bring a little more snow into the weekend and then another push of Arctic air. But look at this. This is the jet stream. So this is what separates that warm air from the south and the cold Arctic air. By next week we're going to move into what we call more of a zonal flow. So we're not going to have the big ridges and dips. So we're going to finally feel some warmer temperatures here across the lower 48. So I think this is what everybody's been waiting for. This is the outlook for next week. Expected to be trending above average almost across the entire lower 48. So Brian, there's that light at the end of the tunnel as we battled the cold. But speaking of cold, as you mentioned, it's that ice surfing we're chatting about.
A
This stuff is crazy. Take a look at this ice surfing. Now I've, I've heard of surfers up in the Great Lakes where they occasionally will get an extended period of a north wind, which would generate. Generate a windswell. But take a look at this. Can you imagine paddling out which looks like a slushie from 711 water temperatures.
C
What are the water temperatures?
A
I was gonna say the water temperatures well below freezing most places until you get, you, you get paddle out in some of the deeper water. But I want no part of that.
C
Tracy, you know, I've never had a wetsuit on, but I can't imagine a wetsuit being that warm.
A
You know, they make different grades of it and thickness of it. That was probably what they call a dry suit. But I don there's any level of dry suit that's going to keep this guy warm enough, I want no part of that. But I saw that thanks to Surfer magazine, had that video out yesterday. So I thought you'd get a kick out of it.
C
Yeah, that's like next level of extreme, but I've seen it a few times. And then they get the icicles on their beards and in their hair. I'll watch it from inside.
A
Yeah. And so I told myself, no more excuses, that it's too cold to paddle out after watching that, you just gotta go for it. Yeah. All right, Tracy, we'll see you on American Sunrise. And with their someone's gonna get a lucky hometown forecast that's coming up. So make sure you scan that QR code. Thank you, Tracy.
C
Yep.
A
All right. Let's check out today's Bible verse. It is this Psalm 46, 1, 2. God is our refuge and strength, very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. All right. Turning now to Minnesota, where immigration enforcement is shifting fast. Border czar Tom Holman announcing the immediate withdrawal of 700 federal agents after cooperation with local authorities. Now, ICE has been working directly with county jails. Now, this allows fewer agents on the street and more criminal illegal taken into custody. Joining us now to talk about this from Minnesota is Royce White, Minnesota U.S. senate candidate. First of all, Royce, thanks for coming on. We enjoy watching your show right here in Real America's Voice. You're a good man. You're a good patriot. We definitely appreciate all that you do for this network as well. What are you seeing there in Minnesota? I mean, we've been talking about Minnesota for now a couple months. You're there. What are you seeing? What are you hearing?
D
Well, I think it was always going to fizzle out. I think the left, especially here in Minnesota, we saw back in 2020, they're good at flash pan propaganda, flash pan sort of mobilization and organization. Some of these community activists, some of these people who are paid actors from all around the country, even internationally and abroad. So, you know, I think their goal is to use these crises as much as they can to their advantage in the media and then let the rest of the narrative play out on into midterm elections. If you remember that the George Floyd issue became the big issue ahead of the 2022 midterm election. Well, the 2020 election, but also the 2022 midterm election. So I think that's what they're going to use it for as things start to quiet down here, you know, block by block.
A
Yeah, I know Tom Holman has a little bit of a different approach, saying they instead of using eight to 10 agents to go apprehend an illegal criminal alien, they're going to use 1 to 2 maybe, you know, decreasing their footprint and perhaps making it safer for the agents and safer for people on the ground. What's your thoughts on that approach?
D
Well, I mean, I trust Tom Holman's judgment more than my own. He's been doing it for 30 years and highly decorated, you know, very, very accomplished in his, in his work. So I trust his judgment on how many officers or agents we need to carry some of these things out. I will say the, it's more of a fundamental issue about whether or not people believe in having a country. And I always say on my show, like that's the fundamental that we're, we're going to argue about or we're arguing about now we have to have a country. And there is a significant amount of people in this country right now that are either brainwashed to a PSYOP level where they think we shouldn't have a country at all or we shouldn't have a border at all. I mean, you hear a lot of the chants, Billie Eilish being one of the people who said it just the other day at the Grammys and the entire audience stood up and applauded. There's no such thing as illegal on stolen land. I mean, that's just a fundamental non starter. But there are a lot of people and very influential people who believe in that sort of thing. I think some people here on the ground in Minnesota believe the propaganda that ICE and President Trump and the entire federal government is now weaponized in a sort of Nazi like, like Gestapo fashion. That's ridiculous as well. I do think bringing the officers, I mean, you know, lessening the footprint may help with the optics. But the fundamental still remains. We have to have a country.
A
Yeah, we have to have a country.
E
Okay.
A
The other big story obviously developing out of your state was all the fraud in the daycare, the Somali fraud. What have you seen?
D
Buried lead there?
A
It is, it is very lead. What have you seen from the local media there? You've got outlets like, like Real America's Voice and like yourself and other and other outlets talking about the story. But have you seen any local coverage or they have this. Is this story just dead and gone? Is it pushed down the, the rundown? Are they still talking about it?
D
Oh, I mean, again, it's the buried lead. Yeah, I mean they're still going to give it a little bit of coverage to save face. But, but the local media here is completely captured. Even our kstp, which is kind of the local sort of plumb line Republican Moderate, trying to at least give the other perspective. It's all captured. I mean, it's all just fluff here locally. And the Star Tribune for sure. It's interesting actually, our Star Tribune, the newspaper of record here for the state of Minnesota now and formerly Minneapolis, Minneapolis Star Tribune was purchased by former Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor, who was actually a former Minnesota State Rep for the Republican Party. Republican, Minnesota State Rep. He bought the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Now the Minnesota Star Tribune has become one of the most communist newspapers in the entire country. One of Governor Waltz's former staffers, I think is actually the current CEO. So I mean, it's just the entire mainstream media here locally is captured by the left and that's what we're fighting against.
F
Yeah.
A
And we talked a little bit about the, the midterms coming up. How do you see us picking up any seats? Republican seats due to the chaos in Minnesota. You think some independents might have seen what the radical left is doing and said, I want no part of that. Perhaps I'm going to vote Republican this time. Do you see this helping Republicans at all in your state?
D
I never preclude miracles. Yeah, as a good Christian man, I don't preclude miracles. But I'm not holding my breath either. I mean, ultimately politics has become very sport like and we see it as team versus team. We should see it as we the people in American citizenship or the value of citizenship versus the people who want to take it away from us. Who knows what Minnesota's spirit truly is? Here's how the numbers break down. A million conservatives and Christians didn't cast a ballot in the 2024 election election of voter age. So we have more than enough people out there to actually be a red state, numbers wise. The question is, are people motivated enough? Hopefully as and I still go back, you know this, this entire immigration argument is, is, is important. The most important thing we have to do in our country. Deport every illegal immigrant that came here under Joe Biden. Be specific. Under Joe Biden. But as far as the election goes in the midterms, we can never forget our good friend and colleague, the late Charlie Kirk. And if, and if Charlie's assassination still doesn't hold enough momentum for Christians to come out and vote when they haven't before, then we, we lose our country to communists. Anyway, I think Royce, real quickly, how.
A
Can people find out more about your campaign there in Minnesota website?
D
Royce White U.S. that's our U.S. senate website. And I'll be going for Tina Smith's now open seat there you go.
A
Thank you so much. Royce, Good morning. I appreciate you joining us.
D
God bless you, brother. Godspeed.
A
God bless you. All right. Still ahead, important developments in Iran changing the calculus. And new information in the Las Vegas Biolab case moving this investigation in a different direction. The very latest coming up next. Stick around. All right. Welcome back, America Sunrise. EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. A live look at Seaside, New Jersey. I would imagine those waves aren't as cold as the ones we showed you earlier. So perhaps put on the wetsuit, paddle out, take us take a walk on the beach. All right. Good morning. Lots going on today. Let's get to some of the headlines. The man who tried to assassinate President Trump has learned his fate. Ryan Roof, convicted of lying in wait with a rifle at Trump's Florida golf course, sentenced to life in prison. The judge rejecting any leniency. Prosecutors saying Ruth showed no remorse for trying to kill the president. Now the courtroom erupted as a verdict was ready and justice finally delivered. A moment of honor from the commander in chief. President Trump calling the parents of fallen Army Staff Sergeant Michael Olis to share a life changing news. Their son gave his life saving a Polish soldier in Afghanistan and will be awarded with the Medal of Honor. Take a listen. Your son is going to get the highest honor that you can have. There's no higher honor than the Congressional Medal of Honor. Oh, well, he's going to get it. And Michael is going to be, he's looking down at you right now and he's saying, well, my mom and dad are handling this pretty well. Oh, I hope so. Thank you so much.
F
President. Mr. President, I, I, I, you have no idea how the, the happiness.
A
Army Staff Sergeant Michael Olis, America salutes you. And President Trump directly speaking with the Chinese President Xi Jinping in a lengthy call yesterday. The two leaders discussing energy and trade, Russia and Ukraine, Iran and Taiwan. Trump calling the relationship, quote, extremely good, high stakes diplomacy at a moment when timing could shape what comes next. All right, back out here now to the biolab case in Las Vegas. We reported that the facts now comes to full picture. What's emerging points beyond a single location with deeper ties to the CCP and serious questions about how this operated for so long. Joining us now is Gordon Chang, author of the Plan Red China's Project to Destroy America and Dr. Yan, Chinese virologist. Welcome both the show. Gordon, what does this case tell you and what are we really dealing with? I think Americans when we read this story yesterday have so many questions like how is this happening and what's the intent of all this, I think the.
F
Chinese are here to kill Americans and they're doing it with pathogens. In the lab in Reedley, California that was discovered in December 2022, there were at least 20 pathogens, some of them for deadly diseases, including Ebola. I mentioned Ebola because Ebola is being studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which means they're trying to make it either more lethal or more transmissible. Ebola by the way, has a 50% fatality rate. What this new discovery tells us is that there is a network of, of Chinese biological weapons labs. So the question that Americans need to ask are, are there only two of them here? And what is the FBI and federal authorities doing to shut down this network? Because this is the number one threat to the United States.
A
So Dr. Yan, based upon what Gordon just said, you think this looks like a coordinated operation?
E
Of course, more than that and based on my exclusive research back in 2023, this Las Vegas biomap and also the California Readme biomarker, actually they are owned by the same person, Jesse Zhu, who's in jail now, but he is also a CCP agent. And also worth made his network back in China is reached to the top level of the medical field, including his family members. And they also joined into this business. And this is not business, this is not bound up. I can tell people, according to all the information, this is more about terrorism ascendants and the bio lab and all the things, not only Ebola but also hiv, also the influenza and other Covid. This kind of ntb, this kind of passages, many of them they found in the California warehouse already the bioweapon level pathogen. And now we don't know what they are doing in Las Vegas and those labs, what we found are all close to the military bases. Very, very concerning.
A
It is concerning. Now Gordon, how does this biolab case fit into the broader strategy towards the United States?
F
China has a doctrine of unrestricted warfare. And in 1999 two Chinese air force colonels wrote a book of that title which advocated the use of any tactics to take down the United States. And they mentioned terrorism as an important element. So what we have here is China basically operationalizing its plans. And it's not just biological weapons they have here. They've got networks of agents, operatives and soldiers. They're studying our patterns, looking for our vulnerabilities. So this is part of a comprehensive attack on the United States. And, and I believe that we need to have our political leadership talk to the American people at about the risk that we face because the Chinese always talk about going to war. But we're a society that thinks we're at peace and we need the president of the United States to tell us, look, we've got to get prepared for the worst.
A
That is a great point there, Gordon, that I don't think we're hearing that from the administration now. Dr. Yan, what can you tell us about Jesse? Is it you and other individuals tied to this operation?
E
Basically, according to my research, Jai Sij and his wife and his mom, his mom is over 100 years old and also his brother, they are all involved in this business in China and that is transnational back to California. That so called biomab. And they have shipped these biomaterials over tens of tons of unknown biomaterials which are somehow destroyed after it was discovered. No federal officials do this kind of serious scrutiny of this content. But these people, they bring the scenes from China. And Jesse also owned the immigration company in China. That means Open Maze told people they work with China's Ministry of Public Security, means the police, the immigration department. All this and because Jesse's father is a top tier medical expert at United Front work activists in China. So this means this kind of political Moyo family, red family, their next generation always selected and cultivated as CCP's agents who can reach to more resources than ordinary agents. And also they are trusted by the ccp. You see, Jesse now is in jail, his wife in China. Still they can work on the LV biolab. That is warfare.
A
Yeah. We're certainly going to monitor this story. Thank you. Gordon Chang. Dr. Yan, thanks for coming on today.
F
Thank you so much, guys.
A
Thank you. Still ahead, a major shift in the Iran story. New developments are changing the strategic picture and raising the stakes right now. Find out what's moving and and why it matters coming up next. Welcome back. Sticking with the cold shots here this morning. Bar Harbor, Maine, great place for lobster. You might want to bring a jacket. Beautiful scene there. Thanks, guys. And students studio keeping with the theme of ice surfing. All right, the stakes with Iran just went up again. President Trump issuing a blunt warning to Iran's supreme leader, telling NBC News, quote, they should be very worried. This is nuclear talks and are set to begin tomorrow morning in Oman. Joining us once again is Brandon Reichert, the author of the Shadow Iran's Quest for Supremacy. Brandon, good morning. You and I just met but a few days ago. Here we are again. What can we expect tomorrow in Oman on these talks which I believe Kushner and Wyckoff will be attending well, right.
G
Now, I would not hold my breath, and thanks for having me, as always. I wouldn't hold my breath because the fact of the matter is neither the Israelis nor the Iranians can afford to let the nuclear issue be resolved. Netanyahu's group wants to always be able to say, hey, we took out the Iranian threat. Whereas the Iranians, they can't trust the Israelis or the Americans won't attack them if they get rid of their nuclear weapons. So this whole thing is sort of, I think, just a faint. I think this is to buy time for the Americans to move more assets into the region. I think this is to buy time for the Israelis to continue to build up their air defenses for the inevitable Iranian missile barrage that will hit them. And I think this is the Iranians are trying to play for time, too. You see that yesterday or a couple days ago, they flew over the aircraft carrier the Iranians did with a drone, and they were very flagrant. So I don't see any de escalation here. Not really. The only ones who really want this are the Arabs, and it doesn't seem like anybody's really listening to them.
A
Yeah, so what you're telling me is this is if a timeout has been thrown on the field, in a way, we're going to extend the amount of time that both sides, if you will, get to prepare for what would inevitably be some type of direct conflict. Is that basically what we're saying?
G
That's correct. That's correct. This is all positioning. I think the Trump administration has decided they want to go. I think the Israelis definitely think it's now or never. There are some risks, which is why you're seeing this sort of pause. The Iranians are always just trying to buy time because, you know, this is the end of the regime. Ultimately, though, it's going to be very costly for us and the Israelis in ways we don't even realize. But I don't think for a second these are real negotiations.
A
Okay. Do you think that the average American watching us right now, they see this standoff, they see this potential conflict? Do they care?
F
Do.
A
Do they want our resources right now focusing on that, or perhaps focusing on fighting the bio labs, the Chinese bio labs that apparently we have across this country? I mean, where does this rank in the crawling?
G
I don't think Americans care. And I think this is a mistake for the Trump administration to be so fixated on this. I think Americans care about what's happening at home, like you said. I think Americans care about affordability. I think Americans care about how are they gonna put food on the table without going broke. And I think going into the midterm elections, the President of the United States should be focused on we at home, not the Israeli interests, not the Arab interests. It's not in our interest to bomb Iran into democracy any more than it was to bomb Iraq into a democracy. And we know how that ends. And so I think the American people, and if it goes badly, by the way, the American people will remember that it was Trump who did this. So I would hope that if he's listening, just stay your hand, sir, because this is not what the American people want.
A
I think you, Brandon, you bring up a excellent point. Because if you look at the priorities going into 2026, now, granted, you know, Trump will go down. And in my opinion, as a peacemaker, he has done a lot of peace deals around the world. But we don't want to get into a new escalation with, or start another foreign war or get involved through a war, a proxy war, like, for instance, you know, with, with the Ukraine. We were so involved with the Ukraine, Russia conflict that we're basically in a war with Russia through Ukraine. We don't want another one of those situations. And I kind of feel like that's what we would be led into if this was to escalate. On behalf of Israel, I agree.
G
And we have to remember, not only is Iran a partner of Russia militarily, but also 15% of Iran's oil goes to China. And China's very energy hungry right now. And I, you know, know for a fact the President had a very long talk with Xi Jinping yesterday. And I have a feeling that he was putting out feelers with Xi to find out how the Chinese would react if and when we did bomb Iran. And I bet you anything the Chinese were probably saying, don't you dare do it because we need that oil and if you cut us off, we're going to go hit you in another way that you don't expect. And so we are very much at the brink of World War Three here, and this Iran thing could be the trigger for it.
A
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree. I will keep our eyes on the meeting tomorrow. Perhaps we'll have you back the next day or so to discuss. Yeah, Brandon, I appreciate. Have a great day now.
G
Thank you, sir. Bye bye.
A
Yes, sir. All right, before we go to break, a quick word from our sponsor, Artillery Tea Company, the only American first veteran owned tea brand.

Coming up, we'll get you caught up with the top headlines when america's SUNRISE EARLY EDITION returns after the break. Keep it right here. Welcome to American Sunrise EARLY edition, the show where faith, freedom and the values that built this nation take center stage. All right. Welcome again to AMERICAN SUNRISE EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. So much to get to, but let's head over to our Denver newsroom for the latest headlines with Terence Bates. Terrence, you and I have no short list of things to talk about at all.
H
Oh, absolutely. So look, Brian, I suspect Sunday I know what you'll be doing about 4:30 my time, I think suspect you know what I'll be doing. That's the time the super bowl is playing. So I will be perched on my recliner watching the big game. President Trump, though, will not be at the super bowl this year. However, his NBC interview with Tom Yamas, well, it's going to be televised on the championship games pre show coverage in case you missed it. Here's a clip from what you'll hear on Sunday.
A
Should the supreme leader in Iran be worried right now? I would say he should be very worried. Yeah, he should be. As you know, they're negotiating with us.
H
All right. So I know you've been talking about that already. Iran President Trump also laying out in that interview that he thinks that J.D. vance and Marco Rubio are going to be a formidable ticket in the upcoming election. Not obviously the presidential election. It wasn't necessarily an endorsement, but the fact that he mentioned their names together, I think a lot of people are going to take it as such. Brian Ryan.
A
Months ago, when he would just allude to who he might think would pick up the MAGA torch and continue, it became big news. So I think even something like that being very specific with the order of, you know, Vance Rubio was interesting.
H
Yeah. And he also said that one, and I'm paraphrasing, but one may be a little bit more conservative, one may be a little bit more forceful than the other. So which one do you he didn't give names. He didn't say which one. But since you work in the White House, you've dealt with both. What are your thoughts? Who's a little bit more forceful? Who's a little bit more Reserved between the two, between the Vice President and Secretary of State. Your thoughts?
A
That's a great question. That's a great question. I love the, they both are great communicators, which I think is very important, especially with all that's going on right now. I would probably say J.D. vance has a zero tolerance for B.S. so and, but, but Marco Rubio. So they're very similar as well. I mean Marco Rubio has done an amazing job at Synchrony State. He's also one has worn other hats. They're both very capable in my opinion.
H
No, absolutely. And I think they both play their part well when it's called for, for them to be a bit more forceful or for them to play the bad cop, the proverbial bad cop. They're willing to do so kind of in conjunction with President Trump. They definitely all complement each other. I think the President, the Vice president and Secretary of State all compliment each other. Br Another story that I'm keeping my eye on and it's a story I think the entire country is watching. President Trump making a key announcement on Truth Social as it relates to his support for finding Today show host Savannah Guthrie's missing 84 year old mother. He writes in part, and this is a quote, Brian, I'm directing all federal law enforcement be at this families and the local law enforcement's complete disposal immediately. We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely. This is kind of unusual, Brian, that a president would delve into a personal situation. Obviously we all want Savannah Guthrie's mom to be returned home safely. The last part is I think the most critical. We want her home safely. But that a president would put all of those resources behind the search for one person, particularly a person that's not necessarily a government official. That seems unique to me.
A
Me it is. But I do think that shows his commitment and his art to help someone that's in need right now. I think he can relate to a lot of people's pain of, of, of missing a loved one and, and may maybe experiencing a little bit of a brush of, of death, if you will. I, I, I think we all should pray right now. I think that's what this, that's what their whole, entire family needs. But it's nice to know that our president is ultimately offering all resources of our federal government.
H
No, absolutely. And we again hope that Nancy Guthrie returns home quickly and safely and in full health. One of the challenges right now is that she's got medicine that it said if she doesn't take this medicine, her Life could be threatened. And that medicine was left at home, it appears. So hopefully whoever has her, if someone in fact has her, they've been able to to supplement that and we'll be able to keep her alive. And more importantly, Brian, hopefully investigators find those folks quickly. Speaking of investigators finding someone, someone quickly, I think we were actually on the air around this time, around the time this happened. The man who was convicted of trying to assassinate President Trump while the commander in chief played golf there in Florida is set to spend the rest of his life in prison. The 59 year old would be assassin was found guilty on all charges back in September. And you probably remember this, he unsuccessfully tried to stab himself after the verdict was returned. He was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday along with a consecutive seven year sentence for one of his gun convictions. Again, this is a big story that MAGA is watching closely. It's just crazy to believe that there wasn't just this attempt on President Trump's life, but of course, the Pennsylvania attempt on President Trump's life as well. And then we also have heard reports that actors like Iran had a kill list with President Trump on it and some others. It's just unbelievable that in this day and age, there's still these assassination attempts against the sitting president. I'm not gonna lie, Brian. You and I have covered it. We've been on the air when some of these things have happened, and I just still can't wrap my brain around it. It's such a foreign idea. Even though it's very real.
A
Yeah, it is very real. I remember the very moment that I was sitting on a couch, I got a text. Marjorie got a text message from someone that said someone attempted. There's attempted assassination or golf course. I couldn't believe it. And of course, we turned the news on and it wasn't but an hour later we started to see things. So very disturbing. But this does send a message, Terence, that there's zero tolerance for things like this. I wish all trials went as quickly as this one did. I will say that some of them take far too long to play out.
H
Agreed. All right, Terrence, let's just point out Utah.
A
Yeah, exactly, Utah. I'm with you on that. All right, we'll see you in about 17 minutes on the other side of the hour. Thank you, Terence.
H
Thanks.
A
All right, now we pivot to a very special segment for you today. If you're struggling with thinning hair, pay close attention to what I'm about to tell you right now because this may be very helpful. We're joined by special guest, Dr. Mandy Bechner. She is a board certified triologist and she's here to share a simple, natural, ritual way women can promote the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. And I would imagine, Doctor, that men can do it too, because I told you in the break that got some fitting going on back there. But I understand that you partnered with a company called Parents which specializes in in natural health hair care. What can you tell us about them?
I
Yeah, that's right. So what I love about Parents is that they use natural and organic ingredients in their products, ingredients backed by science and actually proven to work. They don't use harsh chemicals like you find in normal skincare and shampoo. There's no parabens, no, no silicones, no sodium lauryl sulfate. So this makes parence a great option with mature and sensitive skin.
A
Also, I understand they have a groundbreaking solution for thinning hair. Can you tell us a little bit more about that?
I
Yeah, absolutely. It's called Hydrolift shampoo. But this isn't like most shampoos that are out on the market. Hydro Lift uses a unique, unique three phase hair growth support system. The first phase is the root revival system. Ingredients like Coco Glucide help to dissolve any kind of waxy buildup that can actually suffocate your hair follicles and stunt your growth. So this allows your hair follicles to breathe again. The second phase is the hair thinning matrix. Ingredients like hydrolyzed wheat protein. They go in and attach to weak spots on your hair follicles. And then they create a molecular scaffold that actually strengthens your strands from within. This is how your hair can look fuller and thicker over time. And then the third phase is the protective essence shield. This phase is all about protecting your hair from from further damage such as your environmental stressors. And Hydrolift uses natural ingredients that are great for forming this sort of invisible shield around your hair follicles. This lets in crucial nourishing ingredients while keeping out harmful chemicals.
A
So this sounds amazingly easy to use. Now is this something that you need to use like every day, once a week, to use it in conjunction with, with other shampoos that you're using? Like, how's that work?
I
Yeah, that's a great question. It's actually very easy to use. One of the things that I love about Hydrolift shampoo is how quickly it forms the luxurious layer and lather. You want to apply it to wet hair and scalp. So it does make sense that you do it in the shower. Most women should be able to fully Lather their hair and scalp within about 15 to 30 seconds. Then you want to let the shampoo sit for about one to two minutes and then you rinse it completely out and that's it for the best results. I do recommend to use HydroLift two to three times per week. So you don't need to use it every single day, but every other day.
A
Okay? I absolutely love this product and I'm telling you right now, men, if you're watching right now, this is what you need to order. It's perfect for anyone who's interested in having thicker hair. But how? What's the next call of action? What do people need to do right now?

It continues after the break. Go order that stuff. It works. I'm going to do it. You should too. We'll see in a few. All right, live look at Jupiter, Florida. That's where I want to go. I want to jump on an airplane, go down to South Florida, see my friends in Jupiter. All right. Welcome back America Sunrise. I am Brian Glenn. And joining us now is someone I love to see, David Brody. He's always got the latest news and headlines and we were just talking about hair follicles in the break as well.
B
We were, we were. And by the way, let me just say, Brian, I'm sorry on a total separate note because clearly this is a squirrel segment. Like squirrel, squirrel. I mean we're all over the place. Let me just say I ranked the bump music on American Sunrise, and that what we just bumped in with on that, that's got. That's top three. Just so you know, in my bump music of American Sunrise, I just want you to know.
A
Can we play that back here to about 30 seconds? Can we take a listen to that again?
B
Little ZZ Top, not little Real America's Voice. Come on.
E
Come on.
H
I got the little. Oh, sorry.
A
Yeah.
B
Ted Nugent. My bad.
A
Whoops. A little bit of Ted Nugget. Yeah, no, no, I thought it was sound like a little bit. I agree. We have the greatest bump music here on this. On this program. Okay. Lots of the news. Obviously, all eyes are, you know, on the situation. Iran. There's meetings tomorrow in Oman with Steve Wyckoff and Jared Kushner. We'll see what develops there. And of course, you know, we're watching all things in Minnesota. We have a different approach now. Tom Holman said, David, that he's gonna, instead of having eight to 10 agents to go get these criminal illegal aliens, you gotta scale it down to one or two to make it safer for everyone. I actually think that's a pretty good approach.
B
I do, too. And look, President Trump was asked about this in an NBC interview. He's doing it for the super bowl, you know, the NBC interview interview. And when he was asked about it, he said, we're going a little softer is what he said. It's kind of weird to hear that word come out of President Trump's mouth.
A
Softer.
B
That's not typically a word you hear him utter. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever heard him utter that word in the 17 years that I've been covering him. Well, 15 years since 2011. But they are. They're taking a bit of a softer approach. Now, having said that, what does that mean? I mean, bottom line is this, and I've said this time and time again, but I think it bears repeating. Tom Holman has always said he's been very consistent. He said, we're going after the worst of the worst. That hasn't changed. President Trump campaigned on the fact that we're going after the worst of the worst. Eventually, we'll get to mass illegal immigration and all of that in terms of the next level. But before you get to that level, you've got to get the worst of the worst out. So I'm all for what they're doing. I think that's what it should have been all along, because you've got to first get the illegal criminals out. Because let's be honest, beyond the fact that it's a public safety issue, from a PR political standpoint, it's the right thing to do. From a polling standpoint. I mean, the American people are with you on that. Then it gets a little bit dicier when you get into that next level. And that's when you better have a PR machine ready to go and try to figure out how you're going to convince Americans that you're going to this next level. But first, get first things first and right. And that is get those criminals out of here pronto.
A
100% agree with you. 100%. Real quickly shifting over to the big story that came out of Las Vegas, these Chinese bio labs that we could find out that they're all over this country. Thoughts on that?
B
Well, I mean, it doesn't surprise me. And sadly, that's pretty sad that I have to say it doesn't surprise me because I mean, just look at the Confucius Institutes that are around in colleges. You got the biolabs, you got the buying up land around farmland, around military institutions. We are, let's be honest, call it a soft war, but we're at war with China. There's no doubt about that. Brian.
A
Yeah.
D
All right.
A
There's no doubt about it. In about 5 minutes and 27 seconds, you'll get to see more David Brody on the other side of the 8 o' clock hour. David, thanks for joining us.
B
I can't wait. I can't wait for that.
A
Neither can I. I'm going to be watching, actually. I'll see you the at the 9 o' clock hour.
I
All right.
A
All right. As always, tune in tomorrow, same time, same channel. And by the way, we're on prime video as well. You can check us out there. Until next time, goodbye. God bless. We'll see you back in the nine o' clock hour for more me. We'll see you. Have a great day. This is an iHeart podcast.
