This is an iHeart podcast, Guaranteed Human. It is 7am on the East Coast, 4am in the West. Coming up on American SUNRISE EARLY Edition. Extreme tension this morning. War may be hours away. New reporting from European officials suggests US military intervention could begin within 24 hours. Overnight, the United States withdrawing personnel from key bases as the military buildup intensifies. Forces shifting, assets moving. And a major warning sign, Iran closing its airspace to most flights, restricting who can get in and who can get out. As tensions rise and options narrow by the hour, the question this morning are these the final moves before a confrontation or the last chance to stop it? And then extreme defiance. First Bill Clinton, now Hillary Clinton, both refusing to testify in the Epstein investigation. Congressional subpoenas ignored. House Republicans say contempt charges are now on the table. The question this morning, what are they refusing to answer? And how far will Congress go to force the truth? And onto a different extreme, silence. New York City's new mayor waiting days before finally condemning Iran's deadly crackdown on protesters. A statement, but only after the pressure built and the questions got louder. The question this morning, why now? And what took you so long? The details are just moments away as this EARLY edition of American Sunrise starts right now.

American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION on Real America's VOICE starts now.
- [02:18]
A
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to American SUNRISE EARLY edition. I'm Alison Hans live from West Palm Beach. We're so glad you're starting your day with us on what could be a pivotal morning. Let's bring in my co host Brian Glenn. Good morning, Brian. How you doing?
- [02:36]
B
I'm doing great. I'm looking at all this news and I'm like, well, it's going to be a very busy day at the White House as we could, as you said, in the open could be looking at potentially a military involvement in Iran. So we'll keep an eye on that.
- [02:50]
A
Absolutely. I think they're closing the airspace overnight. So that's something that is happening. And so all eyes are on Iran also, all eyes on Minneapolis. We're going to get to that story in a short bit, but let's go to Iran first. Well, forces are shifting and assets are moving. The warning signs are multiplying. And back here at home, happening overnight, federal immigration agents are under attack. In Minneapolis, anti ICE protests turn Violent federal vehicles overtaken and looted. The DHS says agents were forced to abandon ICE and FBI vehicles. Now, also happening was that a weapons locker was ripped out. So the protesters came and they broke into a weapons locker. They took out the rifle, they took out the ammunition, and also at the same time, they were taking out sensitive documents, which is just extraordinary.
- [03:50]
B
Brian, you know, I was taking a look at the video on your screen right now. I am just blown away that this happened. And you know what? I don't know how this plays in their favor to get people to support the elimination of ice. When you have people that are literally breaking into cops, squad cars, stealing stuff, setting things on fire. I don't know how anyone can call this any type of peaceful protest.
- [04:18]
A
And at the same time, you have literally yesterday or into the evening hours, Governor Waltz going out there and saying, take out your phones and record the ICE officers so that they can be in some sort of database for prosecution down the road. Which is absolutely absurd.
- [04:40]
B
Yeah, it is. We've talked about this before, and I'm almost getting nauseated talking about ICE in Minnesota. I really am. I'm getting sick of it. I want more National Guard. I want more ICE agents and more National Guard at Minneapolis to put these people walking around in sliders in their pajamas. These are just. Where are their jobs? Who's working in Minnesota? Who's taking care of their kids? Do these people have any type of life, or is it just stop Trump, stop ice, create chaos. Thinking that's going to help them out in 26. It's not. America's watching what's happening in Minnesota, and they're not buying it.
- [05:21]
A
And they may be running around in pajamas and slides, but they're coming out there with water bottles that are froz. These are projectiles that are going through car windows. It's extraordinary.
- [05:34]
B
Yeah. You've got to use force. I'm sorry, I hate to say it, and I may get criticized, but you have to meet these people with force or it's going to continue.
- [05:43]
A
Yeah. Well, Brian, amid all of this global tension, we take a moment to center ourselves in God's word. This morning's verse comes from Philippians 4:7, New International Version. And it says, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Turning now to the tension in the Mideast, are we just hours away from attacking Iran? Joining us now with reaction is Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano. Good morning, Doug. How are you?
- [06:18]
D
Good morning. Allison Bryant. Thanks for having me on, you know, good morning. You've already indicated that the indications there are something's going to happen when you evacuate non essential personnel from our base at Al Udib in the United Arab Emirates. When the airspace is shut down. This is a precursor for a strike.
- [06:38]
A
You know what was also really interesting yesterday is that Scott Besant talked about following the money and he said that the Treasury Department is following all of the money from I guess the mullahs going out of Iran. And so that is an indication that they are falling and that they're getting out, which I found really fascina.
- [07:01]
D
Yeah, that's true. And we already heard from the ayatollah leading this whole thing, the 85 year old Ayatollah Khomeini, that he has plans to go to Russia. So things are being set up. How I envision is laying down. I used to plan these kind of things. Actually went to the United States Air Force Air University and have a master's in air power is we'll take out the command and control nodes. So we'll decapitate the leadership. We'll cut off the ayatollah and his regime from being able to to communicate to the cities. And then the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Command will be struck. That's really the muscle behind the regime. And then maybe some of the local police stations or the prison in Tehran to limit their ability to crush what the protesters are doing. We're hearing perhaps thousands have been killed. We did hear from the president yesterday that apparently there's a pause in the shooting, but we just don't know because the country's been shut down, it's under a blackout.
- [07:59]
A
Brian, jump in.
- [08:01]
B
Yeah, I was just going to say President Trump did make that announcement yesterday in the Oval Office. I was there covering it and that was kind of a surprise. And which makes me think that if there is a pause in these mass executions and hangings, that is military action that intimate, considering that they have stopped doing that. I mean, what's your take on that?
- [08:24]
D
Yeah. Brian, and thanks again for what you did for us in 2020, November 25th in Gettysburg, covering the hearing on the fraud that we found in Pennsylvania.
- [08:33]
B
Thank you.
- [08:34]
D
Even though it's still yet to be addressed. You're a national treasure, brother. So thank you for that.
- [08:38]
B
Well, no, you're a patriot. We said this before we came on the show, Allison, and I want our viewers to know. After the 2020 election, there was one person, the first person elected official in the entire country to call out the 2020 election discrepancies and it was right there. Senator Doug Mastrigno. And I'm telling you, you're an American hero for doing that. So I want to make sure our viewers know that.
- [09:00]
A
Patriot and a gentleman.
- [09:02]
D
Aw.
- [09:04]
A
Absolutely. It's really extraordinary to see what's happening in Iran. And I must imagine that, that someone with your military background and experience watching this after all of these decades, it really must be breathtaking for you.
- [09:21]
D
Yeah, I mean, I was old enough to remember. Quite old enough to remember, actually. Sadly, 1979, when the Shah fell, Carter was weak, Carter didn't back him up, and out of exile in France. Why the French were hosting the Ayatollah Khomeini, I have no idea. But he arrived in the country and it fell. And sophisticated, beautiful, cultured society in Iran, going back to the Persian Empire. It collapsed and became the severe regime anti American. You know, so a lot of people on our side, you're like, well, you know, I didn't vote for this. It's not an American interest. The collapse of that regime certainly is an American interest. They attack American shipping. We remember under Biden, they captured a bunch of our sailors and, you know, called them before the media. But they've been propping up our enemies, Hezbollah, Hamas, Venezuela. And so it would be a good thing for that regime to collapse. You know, I'm not, I'm not a big fan of regime change having, you know, watch that, what happened in Iraq. But I think this is a whole different situation. I do not believe it will include ground troops. I think it's just to cut off the head of the security apparatus so the people in Iran can decide what they want.
- [10:28]
A
Sure. Doug, I'd like to touch upon Minneapolis for a moment. Nuts overnight. So you have this Venezuelan illegal immigrant who I believe was involved in ICE related shooting. I don't know specifically if the ICE officer shot, but it's been chaos overnight and it's been chaos over the past week. Your thoughts on the matter?
- [10:56]
D
Yeah, I'm really troubled by this because we have Democrat governors, Democrat mayors, not just in Minneapolis with Waltz and Mayor Fry in Minneapolis, but also in Philadelphia. We have the D.A. larry Krasner, we have the sheriff in Philadelphia. Bile, interesting last name. Spewing bile against ICE and stoking anger. And I, I'm sorry I had to do that. And saying all kinds of rotten things about ice. And instead of leading and wanting calm, these people are stirring and agitating. And we're seeing in Minneapolis could happen in more cities across the nation here. And those leaders who are Stoking the flames of hate against law enforcement officers. They need to be held accountable. When blood is shed, they need to be held accountable because they're not doing their job by calming things down here. They're calling for violence.
- [11:46]
A
Yeah.
- [11:46]
B
I mean, do you remember.
- [11:48]
A
Go ahead, Brian.
- [11:48]
B
I was going to say, do you remember Maxine Waters saying when you see these people get in their face, you're not wanting here. I mean, I personally, I agree with you. There needs to be accountability. But the reality is in 2026, I don't think that's going to happen. And I'm just being brutally honest. I just don't think it's going to happen. I don't think we'll hold anybody accountable. I mean, look at Hillary and Bill Clinton. They defy congressional subpoenas. Ain't crap going to happen to them.
- [12:13]
A
Okay, well, we can always hope. No, I disagree with you, Brian. I do believe accountability is coming. So let's leave it at that. Senator, Trust the plan. Okay. Senator Doug Mastriano, thank you so much for getting up early with us. We, we appreciate you.
- [12:30]
D
Thank you guys. Love you both. God bless.
- [12:32]
A
Have a good one.
- [12:33]
B
Thanks, Doug.
- [12:34]
A
Coming up, a local community taking on a massive Muslim development and winning. More than a thousand people packing a city council meeting in Oklahoma. They are demanding their voices be heard. What happened in Broken Arrow and why it's getting national attention. That story's coming up next.
- [12:55]
B
Ready, ready, get ready. Ready.
- [13:08]
A
Welcome back to American Sunrise. We are looking at a live shot of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, looking beautiful this morning. Thank you so much for getting up with us. We certainly appreciate it. I'm Alison Hans. Coming up, the latest. As tensions between the United States and Iran continue to intensify, new signals, new moves and questions about what comes next. We'll have the very latest ahead. But first this morning, we're taking a look at what happened in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, which is striking a nerve nationwide. Communities across the country are pushing back as large Islamic developments are, are proposed in their towns and local residents are flooding city council meetings to be heard in Broken Arrow. This is unbelievable. More than 1300 people showed up and the project was denied. Joining us now is Chip Keating, a Republican candidate for governor of Oklahoma. Chip, thank you so much for joining us this morning.
- [14:10]
E
Good morning, Allison. Thank you for having me.
- [14:12]
A
Oh, our pleasure. Now, I know you were at the meeting where they had that final vote the other night and you've been watching this very closely and speaking out. So what has this, why has this moment become such a flashpoint?
- [14:27]
E
Well, it's Unbelievable. Thank you for having me on. I was in Broken Arrow Monday night and you're right, I think it felt like there were more than 1300 people there. It was wrapped around the building and I shook a ton of hands. And Oklahomans resoundingly spoke their voices and rejected radical extremists, communist ideology. It's not our values in Oklahoma. And we look, you know, to what's going on in Minneapolis and frankly the Somali scandal and it's spilling over to California. I mean, this is just unbelievable what's going on across the country. And I'm running for governor as the only non career politician to push back and make sure this does not infiltrate our great state.
- [15:07]
B
Yeah. Now this land has been owned since 2014, but the scale of this project, the mosque, community center, possibly retail, caught a lot of residents off guard. So should communities, you know, get more say when projects pop up in their area and what, what are they first led to believe about something like this? I know this is happening in Texas as well. I get bombed on social media to for people to look into this. But you know, what are they first led to believe when they start seeing dirt moved around their community?
- [15:43]
E
Well, look, I mean, that's a great question, Brian. And luckily in this case, this was rejected on technicalities. This was in a floodplain and there was a septic issue. And so, you know, but the issue is not over. And you see what's going on in Texas. I think what we're seeing, it's time we see this elsewhere. And I'm glad that we live in the great state of Oklahoma, but people need to wake up. Career politicians have been lying to us. And in Oklahoma, we live in a populous state where frankly, the voices of our people matter. And they spoke resoundingly loudly with a megaphone. And I just hope elsewhere in other red states that citizens will take note. And this is our government for the people. We the people. And unfortunately, we've just seen the left hijack some of these issues and take away our great American values. It's time to push back. I think we're at a breaking point at least in Oklahoma, and people are waking up and they're not going to fall for this stuff.
- [16:43]
A
Absolutely. And that's why I love this story so much, because it shows the power of each individual standing up, going to that meeting. I mean, the lines they were snaking around where the event was happening. I mean, describe what that's like to actually see people get up off their couches and make their voices heard, made.
- [17:08]
E
Me proud to be in Oklahoma. And you know, I'm running for governor and my background, I used to be a state trooper for four years in the great state of Oklahoma. And so, you know, I've seen the evil in society and I put my hands on dangerous people. And unfortunately evil exists in our country. And so as I shook, starting at the front of the line, working to the back of the line and listening to the people, you know, Alison, their voices very common. They just do not want that here. We have one constitution in this great nation. That's the Constitution of the United States. We must and will reject Sharia law in this country. As governor of Oklahoma, I will ban it in Oklahoma. Look what is going on in Iran right now. I mean, Sharia law and that doctrine is killing, by some estimates I'm seeing north of 12,000 people. They're killing their own people. Muslims do not want Sharia law. We must push back. We will push back and we've got to fight. We see what's going on in Minnesota. It's happening elsewhere. The Democratic Party is a soulless party and I just don't see how this message works for them long term.
- [18:18]
A
Chip Keating, thank you so much for joining us this morning. We sincerely, sincerely appreciate it and thank you to your constituents out there.
- [18:26]
E
Thank you both. Brian, Allison, thank you. It's great to be with you. God bless you.
- [18:29]
A
God bless you. Coming up after the break, the latest breaking developments on Iran. As the situation intensifies by the hour, former FBI special agent and former Navy SEAL Jonathan Gilliam joins us with his assessment of the threats, the warning signs and what's to come next. Stay tuned.
- [19:10]
B
All right, good morning. Welcome back America Sunrise live broadcast. Look at Fort Lauderdale playing the right song too, by the way, if I was sitting on that dock, I would probably be rocking out to a little bit of Kid Rock. I am Brian Glenn. Thanks so much for joining us. Before we dive in, let's get a quick word from one of our sponsors. Artillery Tea Company, the only America first veteran owned tea brand. That's it.

All right, let's bring back in my co host Allison Hans Alison. I would sit on that dock. I would drink some Artillery Tea. And I'd watch the sun come up. What a beautiful shot that was in Fort Lauderdale.
- [20:14]
A
Totally. And also I would that you'd be smoking a cigar.
- [20:18]
B
You know me too well. I do know me too well.
- [20:21]
A
Everybody out there. So we get on a video call. I don't know, a couple days ago we were talking about something and my brain is all on every story. And I look at Brian, he's outside sitting on a lounge chair, big cigar, no worries in the world. The hardest working man in the news business.
- [20:40]
B
But I wouldn't say no worries in the war in the world. But I do like to. A good cigar will just settle everything down, let you focus on it. But. Yeah, well, I need to get you smoking cigars now.
- [20:53]
A
No, no, no.
- [20:54]
B
And everyone in the.
- [20:55]
A
I don't need to.
- [20:56]
B
And then everyone in the control room. That vapes. Put down the vape. Pick up a cigar. That's my health. Tip of the day.
- [21:02]
A
Okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna put that one aside. Okay, Brian, let's d. We're going to go to. The United States is advising some military personnel to leave a major base in Qatar as Iran issues threats of retaliatory strikes against US Targets. Now, as we mentioned earlier, the warning comes as tensions with Tehran continue to escalate and the region moves closer to conflict. Defense officials say the step is precautionary but signals serious concerns about Iran's intentions. America remains on high alert as the situation rapidly develops and the world watches what comes next. Let's welcome to the show former FBI special agent and former Navy Seal Jonathan Gilliam to discuss. Welcome back to the show, Jonathan, Good morning to you.
- [21:54]
F
Good to be with you. Alison and Brian, of course.
- [21:56]
A
Let's take a look at what's happening out of Iran at this moment. Your thoughts?
- [22:03]
F
Well, you know, I've said this for many, many years when I suddenly realized that Iran doesn't get involved in conventional wars. They just do proxy wars and terrorist attacks right. In other nations. And then when Iran, or excuse me, Israel hit Iran and the United States helped out with the bombing, they. My theory was proven that Iran is a paper tiger. And the only people they beat up on are their own people in that state, in that nation. They. They are crucifying, destroying their own people who just want freedom. And that's what they did to Israel. That's actually what they did to the Palestinians. They went in there, set up proxy wars and caused Palestinians to just die here, there all the time at the. For their cause. And I think in saying this, what, what we need to look at, and I'm sure that President Trump is looking at this, is that we could go in if we needed to and assist the people of Iran to get rid of this paper tiger. That regime is only powerful because they have just enough of what it takes to bully or kill everybody that lives in that country. And unless the whole country is what you're seeing is standing up, if they need assistance and we're able to help topple that regime, this is not a case where the regime is going to be filled by drug cartels. Most likely, the regime is going to be filled by people that those individuals that you see out there on the street choose to be in office.
- [23:39]
A
But.
- [23:40]
F
So it's a sticky situation, but they're killing massive numbers of people because that's what power they have. They have not the power to negotiate, but to kill.
- [23:48]
A
That's the whole thing. You have these protesters on the streets. They don't have weapons. They're out there with their cell phones, their voices. That's. That's it. And so how do they go up against people who have guns?
- [24:04]
F
Because it takes massive amounts of people to push the momentum forward. That's what we've seen throughout history. That's the problem here in this country, is that you have these leftists that are destroying things all over the country. They've destroyed the Department Education, and then they used it to groom children into thinking that they needed to change their gender and cut off their genitalia. And this has been allowed to happen. And the people don't pour out on the street. So what you're seeing there is that people have gotten to a point where they don't want this anymore. It's gotten. It's gotten too far gone, and they're now actually pushing out there. And again, what you see is that when the masses of people pour out in cases like Iran, they just start killing them. But eventually, if the numbers increase, and that's often what happens when the regime starts killing, more people will pour out, and eventually enough people will be out there to take down that regime.
- [25:05]
B
Yeah. Well, the Trump administration pushes for control of Greenland, saying it's essential for US national security and warning it must be, quote, in American hands, a position that has sparked a geopolitical standoff. Now, top officials, including Vice President J.D. vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, prepared a beat with Danish Greenland leaders in Washington as Copenhagen Newark firmly reject the US Takeover efforts and assess Greenland remains a part of Denmark under NATO allies. Now, I was at the White House yesterday there was a handful of Danish press here in Washington to follow this story and that I think I did three radio interviews kind of getting, what is it American's take on all of this Greenland stance? What's your take on what's going on right now? And, and is it a national security interest for us to have Greenland? Should the people of Greenland have to say so in all of this?
- [26:05]
F
Well, first of all, did you tell those people in those interviews that the majority of American people don't even know about this issue? They don't even realize that there is a national security issue here?
- [26:15]
B
I did.
- [26:15]
F
So, you know, the reality is Greenland was one of these strategic locations that's been known for, you know, years and years. I mean, it's been for, I would say, decades and centuries of the importance of, of Greenland. And I think what President Trump identified very quickly is as things escalate, this is one of the, it's, it's, I would akin it to, so people can understand it, the southern border where it, we left it wide open by leftists and people were able to just come in there. Well, Greenland is one of those areas where from the sea it is a vital security area where people will approach, navies will approach. And it's a strategic point for us as well to step off and do certain things. It's also vital to certain minerals and aspects of things that can be mined there. But that's why the other nations want it. They want to milk the riches of this country. So it's not about national security for Denmark, by the way, Denmark only has 8 million people in it. I think we could take care of that if we needed to, but I don't think the Denmark military is going to come up against the United States and, and fight us over Denmark. The reality is it's a national security issue for us. And the more people learn, which I didn't even really know that much about Denmark or about Greenland, the more I realize, the more I see the importance of it. And it's, I tell you, it's another one of those fascinating things that President Trump, the statesman, President Trump zoned in on that right away. I think that's another credit to his understanding of the world.
- [27:55]
A
Well, Jonathan, I really appreciate that analogy to the southern border because I never thought about it like that. And I think if you put it out there to the public like that, we all would have a better understanding of our objectives and why we would want to do it right.
- [28:11]
B
I want to make a quick trip over to Greenland and talk to the people of Greenland. From what I understand, they're scared. They're scared to death that a US Is going to come over and take over their country. That's just what they're telling me.
- [28:22]
A
Okay, well, maybe we have to go together and find out. I'll bring my park up.
- [28:26]
F
Security.
- [28:28]
A
We definitely need security. Thank you, Jonathan. We appreciate you.
- [28:32]
B
Thanks, Jonathan.
- [28:33]
F
Got it.
- [28:34]
A
Coming up on American Sunrise EARLY Edition. After days of silence, New York City Mayor Zoran Mandami has finally condemned the chaos in Iran. His hesitancy to condemn the Iranian regime amid a brutal crackdown. That's coming up next.
- [28:55]
E
Some folks are born made to wave the flag. Who the red wine who?
- [29:06]
B
Welcome to American Sunrise EARLY Edition, the show where faith, freedom and the values that built this nation take center stage.
- [29:20]
A
Welcome back to AMERICAN EARLY edition. I'm Alison Hans. Let's bring in my co host, Brian Glenn. Okay, Brian, what does the president and the White House have on the stage schedule today?
- [29:32]
B
He's got quite the day planned and we are the officially the second pull team at the White House today. So that's always nice. Starting out at 11 o', clock, he's got an intelligence briefing that is obviously closed to press. 12:30, he has lunch with Maria Karina Maado. I would love to be a part of that. Once again, that is a close press event. At 4 o', clock, you hockey fans, you Florida Panther hockey fans, President Trump will be meeting them in the east room. That's at 4 o'.
- [30:02]
F
Clock.
- [30:02]
B
But at 1 o', clock, I would imagine this might be, and I will predict this, the busiest press briefing that we've had so far this year. Carolyn Levitt stepping in front of the podium at 1:00'.
- [30:13]
F
Clock.
- [30:13]
B
We'll have all that right here on Real America's Voice.
- [30:16]
A
That sounds like an awesome and very exciting day ahead. I wish I could be there with you, Brian. That's awesome. Okay. Turning now from D.C. to the big Apple, New York City Mayor Zoram Andami finally condemns Iran's regime for its brutal crackdown on protesters. After days of silence that raise serious questions, the delay draws sharp criticism as Iranians are killed, arrested and silenced by a tyrannical government. Mandami now calls for human rights and free speech, but critics say his response comes far too late. The episode fuels growing backlash over where Democratic leaders stand when it comes to confronting authoritarian regimes. For discussion, let's welcome to the show American Sunrise contributor Emily Finn. Good morning, Emily.
- [31:08]
G
Good morning, Ellison. Thank you so much for having me.
- [31:10]
A
Of course. This guy I'M sorry, he's a joker. And I'm from New York. He's a joker.
- [31:17]
G
Absolutely. You know, every time I see a headline about him, I want to say I told you so or we told you so, because everyone saw this train wreck coming. Now, I don't think that he deserves any brownie points. Right. For finally coming out and condemning everything that's happening in Iran. I want to point out, I watched the few seconds that he actually addressed this. It was in response to a reporter's question. And of course, who isn't going to condemn this? But what he didn't address, what he didn't mention were the thousands of people that have died through all of this chaos that is happening over there. And I just think that it's awful that the people of New York City are still standing by this guy. Like I said, his days of silence were a lot louder than what he actually had to say about all of this. Awful to see, Alison. Just awful.
- [32:02]
A
Yeah. I don't know. Brian, your thoughts?
- [32:05]
B
Yeah, well, if I was a New Yorker, I think I care less about what his thoughts are on Iran. I care more about what his thoughts are on getting crime under control in that city, getting the homeless situation, getting the immigrants off the streets, out of these shelters, housing costs, all that stuff. That's just my opinion. But what do you expect, and I agree, Emily, what do you expect when you elect this guy into office? And he only brought it up responding to a reporter. He didn't proactively put out a statement about this. He only answered the question from the reporter. But he's only been in office a couple weeks now, I guess. So let's see if he can clean up that city. I was just in New York last week and I was kind of trying to talk to people on the streets. Hey, what's your thoughts on your new mayor? The jury is still out. They don't know what to think of what just happened to their city. So I guess time will tell.
- [33:00]
A
Well, I think a lot of New Yorkers are still reeling from the past couple of years. It's just been an absolute mess since COVID Things have just gone downhill. And really, this mayor is not gonna help it. No.
- [33:15]
G
Certainly don't think that Zoran Mamdami is the answer here, Alison.
- [33:19]
A
No. Well, Emily, thank you so much for being here this morning. We sincerely appreciate it.
- [33:25]
G
Thank you for having me.

Well, in other news, Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer says he used the threat of two more Trump appointed Supreme Court justices to push top Democrats into running for Senate seats in 2026. Schumer claims he has hand picked candidates in key GOP held states, including North Carolina, Maine, Ohio and Alaska, declaring Democrats will win all four. Now Democrats need to flip at least four seats to reclaim the Senate while also defending vulnerable races in Georgia and Michigan. Schumer says the pitch was about patriotism, warning that if Democrats fall short, President Trump could lock in a conservative Supreme Court for generations. For a closer look at what we can expect to see in the upcoming midterm elections, let's welcome to the show Dr. Charles Cornish Dale, author of the Last Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity, also known as Raw Egg Nationalist. Okay, thanks so much for being here this morning.
- [34:35]
H
It's an absolute pleasure to be with you.
- [34:37]
A
Oh, our pleasure. What do you think of Chuck Schumer getting involved here and saying his piece?
- [34:47]
H
Yeah, well, I mean, it's Chuck Schumer being Chuck Schumer, right? I mean, he's doing what he always does. He's scheming, he's plotting, he's planning for the future. But I mean, as far as we can tell, then yes. I mean, the midterms really are going to be hotly contested. And the Trump agenda is obviously going to hinge on whether or not actually the Republicans can retain control of Congress. If they can't, then they're in big trouble. And we'll probably see another Trump impeachment attempt. Of course, that's exactly what we're going to see. I mean, Nancy Pelosi recently said, oh, no, we're not going to try and impeach Trump again. We're not going to do that. But I don't think anybody should give credence to that. I think that they really will. They will go all out if they can win the midterms to frustrate Trump's agenda. They're already going all out. Look at what's happening on the streets of Minnesota. This is, this is highly organized, coordinated left wing resistance to Donald Trump and his agenda, particularly the mass deportation agenda. And it will get much, much worse if the Democrats are successful. And the things that Chuck Schumer wants to come to pass do come to pass.
- [36:04]
B
Not only will they impeach President Trump, but they will take over every committee in Congress, every oversight committee, and they will investigate six ways to Sunday. Every single person has their hands in the Trump administration on every level. So just warn our viewers about that. All right, Dr. Dell, we're seeing liberals on social media straight up lying about ICE arrests, claiming these roundups, these Disappearance, even state sponsored terror, much of it falling apart under basic facts. And this is just panic porn, just desperation. Or to have the left run out of arguments and decide fear is the only thing that still motivates people. I think it's falling on deaf ears. That's just me. Maybe I'm giving the American people too much credit. What say you?
- [36:52]
H
Yeah, no, I do actually think you're right. I mean, it's a truism, isn't it, that actually those who shout the loudest often have the least to say. That's a sort of tried and tested proverb. And yes, the left are shouting very, very loud. They're making a lot of noise. They're trying to make out that the Trump administration is the second coming of the Nazis, ISA, the Gestapo, etc. But actually there was an interesting post on Twitter, I think, yesterday or the day before, where somebody analyzed search terms so you can look on Google Trends and you can see search terms and far outnumbering by orders of magnitude searches for ICE and for Renee Goode, who was the woman who was shot in Minneapolis last week, were searches for the Chicago Bears. I mean, it was like a massive, massively so. I mean, Americans are more interested in sportsball than they are in what's happening in Minnesota. So that doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't matter, because it does matter. And I think the administration does have to be careful about the way that it's immigration raids, deportation policy is playing out, about the way that the public perceives it, about the kind of imagery that comes out about the narrative itself. But nevertheless, I do think that, yes, the left are making a lot of noise and there isn't a great deal behind it at the moment.

Well, Charles, let's take a listen to one of these lunatics. It's been crazy. All we're learning from this is that you should hit the gas. If they're there, you should, you should run them over. You should run them over with your car and you should do it quickly before they can shoot you. I have to go to my mechanic. I have to get my car fixed so that I can drive faster, just in case. This is insane. You should hit them. You should hit them. They will say you hit them anyway. You should hit them with your car. This is absolutely unbelievable, Charles. I mean, how can you go up against people who are getting on the Internet and now trying to rile each other up with this insanity?
- [39:02]
H
Yeah, well, I don't really know what the answer is to it. I mean, so many of these people are totally unhinged. They've accepted the narrative that Trump is orange Hitler and ice of the Gestapo. And we're seeing a repeat of the events of the 1930s on the streets of Minneapolis and, you know, wherever ICE is to be found. So I don't think that you can do anything necessarily about Trump derangement syndrome, about the kind of insanity that has basically, that has basically taken hold of the minds of liberals. But what you can do, I think actually is you can pursue people who are inciting violence. These people who are posting videos on the Internet, on TikTok, on Twitter, on Blue sky, posts, on Reddit. You can actually find them. And I think actually it's incumbent on the Trump administration to take these threats seriously. They are real threats. These people mean what they're saying. And actually, I think it would be a good idea to make an example of as many of these people as possible because they do want violence to happen. They do want ICE officers to be attacked and even killed. And it was exactly the same with Charlie Kirk. And unfortunately, beyond, you know, a few firings, kind of prominent firings and scalps that were claimed in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, not a lot got done. So it would be nice actually to see the administration take these threats seriously, to see the DOJ and the FBI investigate these people and say, actually, no, you can't make threats like this on the Internet. You can't tell people to go out and run over federal immigration agents when they're carrying out their business, however much you may dislike it. You are suborning a crime. You are telling people to commit crime. So that's one way that you could deal with it, I think, at least.

Dr. Dale, thank you so much for being here this morning. Such great points. Really appreciate you.

Well, before we go to break, some advice. We are only a few weeks into winter and already it's brutally cold. Huge snowstorms, and of course we have those power outages. But think about this. If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm? This is a real problem. Winter power outages can even be life threatening, like in Texas a few years ago. And that is why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off grid heater from my Patriot supply. It's a space heater that doesn't use electricity or propane. It runs on something called canned heat, which is an indoor safe fuel. Now, with a Vesta stashed in your closet, you know, you can keep warm no matter what. It even doubles as a stove to cook your food, which is really, really super cool. The best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts. When you order the winter survival Kit from my page, just go to mypatriotsupply.com rav to see everything included. This offer now won't last long, so go to mypatriotsupply.com rav today. That's mypatriotsupply.com Rav coming up, the threat of war, the latest from the White House and the Trump agenda. It's all ahead with a preview of American Sunrise with the one and only David Brody. He'll be here. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Welcome back to American Sunrise. Beautiful shot of Kansas City. Wow, it is lit. So beautiful. Absolutely love it. Great morning. Good morning. I'm Alison Hans. Thanks so much for joining us this morning. Let's bring back my co host Brian Glenn. And joining us, American Sunrise host David Brody. Good morning, David. How you doing?
- [43:18]
C
I'm doing well. How are you guys this morning?
- [43:21]
A
Doing great. Now, I thought that we would be talking Iran right off the top of the show, but overnight we have this news coming out of Minneapolis where there was a shooting and with a Venezuelan illegal immigrant, a lot of fighting going on in the streets. Things are just heating up.
- [43:43]
H
Yeah.
- [43:43]
C
Look, I get why we're leading with the shooting of this Venezuelan national, but let me just say, can we put the word ambush in there? Can we just say that, you know, these ICE agents, hello, were ambushed and then the shooting happened? You know, of course the media will, you know, kind of, they may not even say the word ambush, who knows? But if they do, it's gonna be in paragraph 4 or 7 or 12 somewhere in a New York Times article. It's insane. But this is a big deal. You know, the other big deal here, guys, is what Tim Walls was saying yesterday on that national. I say national in a way. It was a national address, but it was an address to Minnesotans where he talked about, in essence, he's telling Trump to get out of Minnesota specifically to end the occupation. I mean, these are Bud's words, guys. And the occupation. And then he goes on to talk about how this is organized. I'm trying to think of the word. I can't remember the word now, but he talked about it being the ICE agents being organized inside Minneapolis. I wish I could think of that.
- [44:45]
A
I think he's used the word in the past. Gestapo.
- [44:49]
C
Yeah, well, he's used that word for sure. And now he's telling people literally to go ahead and film ICE agents and getting their mugs, getting their faces. This is insane stuff. I mean, this is exactly what causes riots. Guys.
- [45:04]
B
If I'm a Republican and I'm running for office in 2026 or 2028, man, I am. I'm letting this play out and I am building the greatest highlight campaign reel that you could put together about what defines the Democrat Party.
- [45:20]
A
But I don't think. You bet. You know what, Brian? I don't think you should make that edit anytime soon because.
- [45:27]
B
Lots more to add.
- [45:28]
H
Right, Right.
- [45:29]
A
You have Stephen Miller the other night bringing the word insurrection into play. And I think we have to keep that into consideration as we move forward in the next couple of weeks, next couple of months.
- [45:41]
C
Yeah, for sure. I think the other thing I'm watching today is that White House meeting with Maria Karina Machado and President Trump. So let me get this straight. Yesterday it was miga make Iran great again. And today it's make Venezuela great again. Anyhow, don't get me started.
- [45:58]
B
Well, we made milk great again. We made whole milk great again. We did that.
- [46:01]
C
We did.
- [46:02]
B
I actually think, guys, for a second, I would think that that lunch would open up at 12:30, but I don't think it will because it's a one o' clock press briefing and they want the media and the briefing room for that. So I don't think the 12:30 lunch with her is going to open up. I wish it would.
- [46:16]
C
So Caroline has a. You're saying Caroline has a briefing at one, Is that what you're saying?
- [46:20]
B
One o'? Clock? Yep.
- [46:21]
C
Interesting. Yeah. I wonder if they're gonna switch the timing on that.
- [46:25]
A
Well, we will be carrying it live. Gentlemen, thank you so much. Start your engines. Davey Brody, we'll be back in a few minutes. Don't go anywhere. Have a great day. We will be back here tomorrow, same time, have a great time day. This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
