This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom and the values that built this nation take center stage. You people and others like you built this country. Join us as we break down the stories that matter. F A F O. If you don't know now, you know. American Sunrise EARLY Edition on Real America's Voice starts now. All right, good morning For a very special edition of American Sunrise Early Edition, I am Brian Glenn coming from you live from Switzerland, Orosa, Switzerland, just on the other side of the mountain where Davos is taking place, Davos 2026, which kicks off later today around noon local time, East coast, around 6 o' clock here local time in Davos. But we'll get into what we can expect in this conference, why President Trump is here at Davos and some of the themes that they'll be talking about over the next several days. Now, President Trump making his appearance tonight at the national championship game there in Miami. We've got the Miami Hurricanes in the Indiana. Whatever their look, whatever the their mascot is, I have no idea. I probably should know that, but that tells you how much I have not followed. There you go. Indiana football. But we'll have a little bit more about that in a few minutes. But you know, we're talking about where we're at right now and in Davos and it's in the eastern part of Switzerland, a beautiful part of the country. We all flew in from separate locations. I flew from, From Georgia, my two camera guys flew from D.C. the other one from Denver. And it was such a long travel. And if you've ever flown to Europe, you guys know that no matter where you take off from, it's quite the, quite the trip. Me personally, it was like around a 10 hour trip into Amsterdam that I made the connection there. I flew into Zurich and we all finally met in Zurich. But we didn't all arrive with our bags. I had one bag, Mason had his gear, his camera gear that he flew from D.C. but poor Luke, he didn't get all his bags. Matter of fact, about six bags did not show up. Here's a little recap of, of how that went down. Take a listen. Okay. We finally made it to Switzerland. Beautiful mountains behind us, but we're missing one thing. What's going on? My five cases of gear which had what would have been our built in studio, all of our camera gear, all of our everything. So we're kind of out of luck, but we do have yours. Luckily we have my one rig that doesn't have nearly as much stuff. But we have a camera, we have lights, power, you know, the, the bare necessities. But the good thing is, is that Luke was smart enough to pack his personal clothes and a carry on or he wouldn't even have underwear right now. But that's some of the travel. But, you know, you and I have traveled across the country. All, all of us have bitty times. Does this happen very often? I mean, to have all of your gear just not show up? No, I've missed one thing or two things every once in a while, but never everything. And it just so happens that it happens the first time we go international together. So kind of rough timing. Yeah, rough timing. That's a rough flight too. The flight's like, I don't know, like, I think combined everything on it's like 14 hours or whatever it is. It's a lot of flying. So anyway, we may not have all the gear, but we have beautiful background. Join us here in Switzerland for Davos the next three days. We'll see you. I guess the greatest takeaway from that video is this breaking news that Luke now has clean underwear and clothes that he can wear in the next couple days. But we do have breaking news on the, on the equipment. We got a notification from Swissair that they will deliver the, all the equipment to our hotel here. So that's good news. And so we'll have a little bit more equipment to deal with now. It's a power conversion as well. So if any of you have traveled to a lot of especially European countries, there's very different travel, conversions, power conversions, weather. So all of our equipment here has to be plugged into a different receiver, then plugged in for sure for shore power. So that's even been kind of a touchy situation. But the drive up in this part of the country is absolutely gorgeous. And we were kind of joking before we came on the air that, you know, some of these lanes are only about 1.5 lanes wide. So you got enough, enough width for one car and maybe half a car. And then take a look there on your screen. Just beautiful country here. Now, current weather here today, it is, it is cold if around 32 upper lower 30s as far as Fahrenheit goes. Then at night gets much colder down to the teens. But quite honestly, without the wind, it's not, not too bad. So it looks pretty good. We'll have more about what Davos, what can you expect here in the next couple of days? And there's a. Take a look at the video there on your screen. Right now, that's us driving into this area and it's just absolutely gorgeous. The trip down from Zurich into this area. And of course, Davos is just on the other side now. That's the location. Hopefully we'll be shooting from tomorrow and throughout the day. A good look at that frozen lake right there. Maybe I can get Luke or Mason to walk across that frozen lake. I don't know. Maybe so. Also, hotel wise, there is above buzz in the air. Everyone's talking about this event. The rental car companies are completely sold out. Hotels in this area are completely sold out as well. They've been booked for months with the expectation of President Trump coming here. Now, during last year, he actually did a quick zoom into a video message into the Davos, but this time, obviously now he is here on the ground talking about that. Okay, let's get in. We'll go a little bit more into Davos and what you can expect. Let's first get into our Bible verse as we all want to pray, especially going into today. We'll start with Psalm 27:8, and it says, when you said, seek my face, my heart said to you, your face, Lord, I will seek. And of course, I think we should all be praying for Davos here over the next couple of days. Now, the theme of this Davos is really interesting. It's what do we want in 2020? And so you start to think, what does the world want in 2050? What are some of the things that they're talking about right now in regards to what the world will look like in 2050? And very different than what I would say from America first standpoint, from a MAGA standpoint, what do we want the US to look like in 2015? Some of the themes that they have here is a spirit of dialogue that is the over. That's the overview of all of this, the spirit of dialogue, bringing everyone together, which I think is a fair note. Now, normally we would have probably vilified this World Economic Forum as something that, by the way, Claus Schwab, Mr. Davos himself, this will be the first time that he will not be attending this conference that started back in 1971. But normally we have vilified this type of conference. But now it's a different approach to this. We've got President Trump coming in, very much the leader, you can say, of the free world. And with all the things going on in the world right now, not only some of the conflicts we have back at home, but you look at the war in Ukraine and Russia, you've Got the conflict there. You've also got the Gaza and you've got, you know, Israel conflict as well. You've got Venezuela situation, a potential Colombia, potential Cuba. So the world really does look a little different right now. Now, one of the themes Here at Davos 2026 is AI, artificial intelligence and the future of that. And what does it look like in terms of replacing jobs or even creating jobs? And we've seen conversation has been back home in terms of databases and data centers and the need to build those, electricity needed to run those, the water running those as well. Also, one of the topics here is geopolitical tensions, knowing that the world's a very different place than it was even a year ago, and certainly a different place than it was four years ago. Also, one of the things that we have often criticized the World Economic Forum is their focus on climate change. And what exactly does that look like and how does it affect business? If you take a look at who is at this conference, they have more than 1300 politicians are at this conference from politicians from really around the world. And there's thousands of meetings that are holding these meetings. And we'll go over some of those meetings throughout the week as well, on what climate looks like in terms of these countries, in terms of the economy and how it affects, you know, people living their lives. And of course, we. I think some of these policies that come out of this conference obviously affect everyone's daily lives in the US and if you look at maybe the way Covid and was handled around the world, some of those policies were developed right here from Davos. So this is a very important conference regarding what the future of America will look like in 2050. Now, yes, we talked about politicians being here. One is Governor Whitmer from the great state of Michigan, which is basically Motor City in Detroit. President Trump was just there, I believe, last week talking to auto workers there toward a Ford plant. Well, guess what she's talking about here in Davos. The future of EVs, which is almost hard to believe that you've got the governor of the state here in the United States that is centered around the automotive industry, jobs and combustible engines is here in Davos to talk about, to talk about electric vehicles. Pretty remarkable. Also, some of the companies, if you ask, how much does it cost to be a part of this economic forum that this club, the World Economic Forum, companies pay about 27,000 Swiss francs to be a part of. And if you look at the history of the currency here, this is interesting. About a year ago, to get $1, it would cost you 1.09 francs. That's about a year ago. Fast forward to right now. To get US$1, it's going to cost you 1.25. So what a significant increase just in about a year that the dollar has lost its value here in Switzerland. So companies have to pay about 27,000 francs to be a part of this. And that also comes along with an annual fee as well. So if you talk about the delegation that's coming here, this is one of the biggest delegations that has come to on this World Economic Forum. President Trump bringing Wyckoff, Marco Rubio, Scott Bessant and others here at this conference. Now, if you look at the total number of people that will be attending and we've seen what how he travels with his entire staff, yes, you'll have the Susie Wiles, you'll have the communications team here on the ground as well. Company wise, You've got the CEOs of major companies here. And as you can, as we've talked about policies and discussions that come from here make their way to corporate America in in our country. Got Nvidia CEO there from Nvidia. Microsoft is here as well. So you've got a lot of tech companies that are eyeing this AI which seems to be pretty much the overwhelming theme here. Now, other celebrities scheduled to be here. Well, if you're a fan of David Beckham, he will be here at the conference. Matt Damon we just saw a few days ago at the at the awards wearing the Be good pen. Maybe he'll wear something like that as well. Will I am musician here as well. Yo Yo Ma and Ama Clooney expected to show up here as well. So as we go into the break, beautiful setting here for Davos 2026. Will America's voice will be on the ground throughout the week. We have Javier Negre as well. He will be on the ground. We'll check in with him probably tomorrow and also do hits throughout the day here at Davos. So at the World Economic Forum as we await President Trump now, like I said, tonight he's at the national championship game there in Miami. He will make his way to Davos tomorrow and he is scheduled to speak on Wednesday. Take a look at that video. Incredible. As we were talking about making our travels throughout the campaign season, this has got to be the icing on the KK. We come back, we've got more from Davos 2026. Stick around. We'll see in a few.

All right, welcome back to American Sunrise. We are live here. Beautiful Switzerland just on the other side of the mountain of Davos and a nice little ski resort called Arosa, Switzerland. Beautiful backdrop of what will take place later today. Kicks off tonight with a concert at local time at 6pm here, 12 noon there on the east coast from the Alps to the Rockies. Let's bring in my good friend Terence Bates, who's probably sitting in the studio, which quite honestly, Terrence, I'm not sure what's colder, Denver or Switzerland. Maybe we should pull in the weather girl and find out.
- [14:28]
C
Yeah, you know what? I'll, I'll do some research on that, Brian, to see what's colder. Having seen both the Rocky Mountains as well as the Swiss Alps. The Rocky Mountains are definitely stunning, but the Alps are a whole nother level. So that's pretty cool that you're there. I know you're going to be working, Brian, but hopefully you'll get a little bit of skiing or at least some good food and want to talk about some of the big stories of the day, though, be you, of course, are on the ground for one of the biggest, biggest that the entire world is keeping an eye on. President Trump is going to be rolling into this year's World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Switzerland this week with what some might describe as an economic wrecking crew. The tariff setter in chief is going to be escorted by Howard Lutnick, Jameson Greer, Scott Bessant, Chris Wright and Steve Witkoff. Real America's voice, of course, is going to be on the ground in Davos this week covering President Trump's remarks and the storyline surrounding his visit to the World Economic Forum. Back here in the United States, though, the Trump FBI has arrested more most wanted fugitives in the first year of President Trump's second term than were arrested during all four years of the Biden administration. So far, five of America's most wanted criminals have been arrested under this current administration. The most recent was caught just this past weekend. The Trump administration proposing the use of 401k funds for Americans to buy homes. The idea would be a direct shot at making home ownership possible for Working families during an era that's widely described as an affordable crisis era. Statistics show that homeownership, particularly for younger adults, increased during the pandemic, but it has since dipped due to affordability issues. The good news is mortgage rates are are now down to a three year low, which might make it a little bit easier for many Americans to get a home. We'll of course have more details on all of those stories throughout the show and throughout the morning. First though, let's get you back over to buy to Brian, excuse me, who's in Davos, Switzerland, or just outside of Davos, Switzerland, as he's been saying all morning on the other side of the mountain. So Brian, I'm perplexed here just a little bit, just to be honest with you. I'm wondering what President Trump's end game is here, what his goal is for going to Davos here for the World Economic Forum, what he wants to accomplish. Because the reality is a lot of people see this particular conference as a conference for globalists.
- [16:55]
A
Yeah, no, Terrence, you're absolutely right. And when I first was informed that he was coming to this conference, I thought to myself, why in the world would he make an appearance here? And then I started thinking about some of the things that he's doing or what he's done this past year. I think he's here, here to kick over the apple card of the globalist agenda. And I think he's going to set a New World Order. Now, some people might say, Terence, that that sounds pretty demonic that there's going to be a New World Order. Well, I think it's kicking over the apple cart on the old New Order, how things were run. Globalists attempt to basically take over the world. And I think he's here to give a different perspective. And this is one of those administrations, Terrence, and we've seen some of the things they've done from tariffs. I mean, that is a major conversation here is trade with, with amongst countries and what it looks like with the U.S. so, Terrence, I think he's here to redefine this New World Order.
- [17:54]
C
Is he going to be able to do that? Obviously he can set a tone, he can create an environment and atmosphere. But he's probably exception as opposed to the rule when it comes to the World Economic Forum. Most people who are going to be there prob. Don't necessarily, aren't necessarily on the same boat or on the same train as he is. That would be my estimation. Brian, please correct me if I'm wrong.
- [18:19]
A
No, you're absolutely right. Matter of fact, I saw, I read a soundbite from or heard a soundbite from Keir Starmer talking about, look, he's not coming here with open arms here. These people aren't this is a very different President Trump than it was a previous administration. And ever since we kicked off, you know, Liberation Day on April 3rd with the tariff and the trade conversations, what that looked looks like and, and in terms of even the trade conversation about Greenland, and if anybody opposes that, effective February 1st, we'll have the 10% tax tariff on that. So we'll see how it all plays out. Terence, you are the best check on that weather. I'm curious, is it colder here in Switzerland or there in Denver? We'll find out.
- [19:02]
C
I got you. I got you. I've got some weather folks right downstairs. I'll go check in with them and I'll report back to you, my friend.
- [19:10]
A
Thank you. Appreciate it, Terence. All right. As we are live here in Davos, we talk President Trump making his arrival a little bit later tomorrow than speaking on Wednesday. We'll have complete coverage from Davos. What are they talking about, who said what and what, how in Peck impacts your life there at home. We'll have more live from Switzerland after the break on American Sunrise EARLY edition. All right, that's a look at Arosa, Switzerland, just on the other side of the mountain of Davos, where Davos 2026 is set to kick off at around 6pm local time, 12 noon on the East Coast. Welcome back. Brian Glenn, American Sunrise EARLY EDITION coming from you from live from Switzerland. Beautiful place. And then break. Terrence Bass was able to update me on the temperature. It is actually colder in Denver than it is here in Switzerland. Current temperature 35, sunny skies there in Denver, 23 and some snow showers. So I think I'll stay here for a little bit. So we talked about the the Davos and some of the themes that are kicked off now. Some of the bigger, biggest stories that they are talking about is AI and how that affects our life and way we can use it. Now. I know they there was a lot of conversation on employment. Well, AI actually replace jobs. And if you remember about eight to 10 years ago, there was a big push to getting your kids involved in coding and be able to code for for software, where now that there's a conversation that the AI quite honestly could replace the people that had been trained to code. So what does that look like? So that's another big one. Climate change another hot topic here at Davos. As we can expect over the years, since 1971, when Claus Schwab kicked off this forum there, which, by the way, the first time, he will not be here for several legal reasons, from what I've read. But the conversation for climate change will go in hand. There's a look at Claus Schrob right there, known as Mr. Davos himself, will not be here, but we've got world leaders here, over 1300 politicians from around the world, celebrities as well. There was a buzz around, I guess, the hotels. And just the buzz is in the air that this is going on right now. Either you're here to ski or you go into the World Economic Forum. And so we'll have lots of discussion of how these conversations, which are thousands of meetings from private sector. And you think about what some of the conversations when these companies get together with some of these world leaders and they talk about how they can shape the world, your country, business. This is where all of the policies that we end up having to protest come later. The genesis is right here at the World Economic Forum. So in the previous segment, Terrence and I were talking about, well, why is President Trump coming here? And I think, quite honestly, I think he's here to kind of reshape the new world order, if you will, and put in place some of the policies that really benefit America. If you look at the tariffs and all of the trade deficit that we had, we're able to trim that trade deficit down quite a bit. And we've seen the amount of tariff revenue come into this country in the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars going in in just a matter of months and weeks when we first initiated it. So a lot of that revenue gets to be put in place and not only kick down the debt, potential help to consumer checks as well. But let's focus on real quickly while we have the next couple minutes before, before we toss to Terrence about what's happening back at home. And we've all seen these videos from Minnesota still on the ground. Protesters on the streets of Minnesota going up against ice, putting themselves, I feel, in their own harm's way. And ever since the shooting of Renee Goode from the ICE officer that she attempted to ram her car over the ICE agent, ever since then, it has been absolute chaos every single day and night. And we just saw some video last night of Nick Sorter, an independent journalist that has been on the ground there, had a Somali take, I believe, one of his cameras and run off with it. There had been some assault. We've seen some other individuals be assaulted there in Minnesota at night. The images on your screen, that does not look like a peaceful protest at all. Yet that continues to develop. And so if you take a look at what would happen around the country as we go into these warmer months, as we climb out of the cold of January, go into February, March, April, if we're still dealing with, with these ICE situation, this is something that President Trump really needs to take a quick, quick keep an eye on, rather, because this will dominate the 2026 narrative going into the midterms. And if Republicans have done, I think, a fantastic job on pulling in the Latino vote over the last election cycle, will that continue into this? Many Americans have mixed feelings on what they're doing. Of course, they want ICE to round up, you know, criminals and the bad guys is what many would like to describe them. Get those guys. But a lot of the people that have been here for years paying taxes, have good productive jobs in our society. They're not necessarily for rounding them up as well. So that's kind of a split issue. And I see the left really taking that divide and running with it in 2026. But, you know, obviously, Republicans and conservatives alike, Trump supporters, America first, people are not for doing some of the things you're seeing right there on your screen in terms of showing up at these protests. We simply do not do that. So you're seeing chaos continue. Now, I know President Trump is going to send some troops, some military personnel on the ground there. And from what I've read, they've been they've been trained to fight, if you will, or at least perform their duties in extreme cold weather. So you're sending some people up to Minnesota that are absolutely there to handle the situation. All right, so tonight, just to kind of recap, President Trump will be at the national championship game there in Miami. Who will make his way to Davos tonight, being landing tomorrow. On Tuesday, there is a bilateral meeting. I'll give a little bit more information on that. And who will be attending that bilateral meeting. And of course, he is going to speak on Wednesday here in Davos. Now, we're currently at Arosa, Switzerland, which is just on the other side of the mountain. We talked a little earlier about how grand the Swiss Alps are in this part of the world. It's incredible. So to get from where I'm at right now on the other side of the mountain, it could take over an hour and a half due to the heavy traffic in this area. As you can imagine, all the world is ascending on Zurich coming over here. So we'll have more from what's happening here on the ground. But first, let's turn over to Terrence Bates, which by the way, is sitting in a much warmer studio than where I'm at right now. But at least I have a little bit better. Better weather outside as well.
- [26:42]
C
Yes, you do. It is Snowy in about 25, 24 degrees here. I think it's about 35 degrees there. And there is no snow. So, Brian, I'm happy to change places with you if you'd like because as you know, I'm not a big fan of the snow. We'll check back with you here just a little bit, Brian.

Staying on the theme of health and wellness, we have a very special segment for you today. If you're struggling with thinning hair, well, yeah, like me right here. You'll definitely want to pay close attention to this one because I think that you'll definitely find it very helpful. Dr. Jessica Berge joins me now. She is a board certified dermatologist and she's here to share a simple natural ritual many women can use to promote a thicker Fuller hair appearance. But Dr. Berge. Yes. I'm going to talk about me first. Is this something that I also can use as a bald male, as someone who's got. Who's follically challenged, let's put it that way.
- [29:10]
B
Sure, you absolutely can use it. Anybody can use it.
- [29:14]
C
All right, well, that's already a good start. So look, you've partnered with a company called Purence. We've been talking about some of their other products. They specialize in natural hair care as well. What can you tell us about Purance and its benefit for people who might be dealing with issues related to their scalp?
- [29:29]
B
Yeah, I absolutely love this brand. They use natural and organic ingredients, they're backed by science and they're proven to work. So what's really great is there's no harsh chemicals, no parabens, no silicones, no sodium lauryl sulfates of any of those chemicals. Really great option for anybody if you have sensitive skin or mature skin.
- [29:50]
C
Okay, so I'm listening to this and I'm thinking to myself, all right, what are some of the potential dangers of putting those chemicals on your skin or scalp? In this particular case, even if you're looking to, to stimulate those follicles? Talk about some of the dangers, because I think a lot of people hear the chemical names and it goes in one ear and out the other because we really don't have content, context.
- [30:12]
B
Yeah, I think we worry a lot about like just causing irritation to the scalp. And then if your scalp is irritated, you're gonna have hair loss or the hair is not gonna be able to grow like it normally should be.
- [30:24]
C
And so using some of the Prince products, it's something that can skim, stimulate scalp. Skim stimulate, excuse me, those hair follicles. But I'm also imagining that for people who still have a solid amount of hair, that this is something that just helps to give it more volume.
- [30:42]
B
Yeah, it kind of thickens it. So the Hydrolift shampoo is different because it uses a three phase growth support system. So it's got the root revival system, which helps to dissolve any buildup around the follicles, which kind of suffocates the follicles and stunts the growth. So that allows the follicles to breathe. Then it has a hair thickening matrix which attaches to any weak spots of the hair to really create a scaffold and strengthen the hair follicle from within so the hair looks thicker and fuller over time. And then it has a protective essence shield that protects the hair from any environmental stress. So this Uses ingredients that are good for creating an invisible shield to protect the hair, to let the nourishing ingredients in and keeping any harmful chemicals out.
- [31:30]
C
So this Hydro Lift shampoo, is it something that you'd have to use daily?
- [31:35]
B
You don't have to use it daily. It's so easy to use. You can use it two to three times a week and you just use it like a normal shampoo. You lather up. It lathers up really quickly and then you just let it sit for one to two minutes and do that two to three times a week. And that's all you need to do.
- [31:50]
C
All right, so there's some people watching right now thinking, okay, Hydrolift may be just the thing to you. How can they go about getting it? How can they go about potentially starting a regimen using this Hydro Lift?
- [32:01]
B
Just go over to Purence.com and shop. And your viewers actually get a discount code. So if they type in the code early, they're going to get 35% off their order. And then there's also a money back guarantee. 365 days, it's a full year. So if you're not happy, you get all your money back.

I'm thinking to myself, I think I need some of that. I think someone need that. Hey, we've got more coming up from Davos 2026 after the break. Stick around. Welcome to American Sunrise early edition, the show where faith, freedom, and the values that built this nation take center stage. All right, welcome back from Arosa, Switzerland, just on the other side of the mountain here as we prepare our coverage that kicks off today for World economic forum Davos 2026. Now, I want to bring in my good friend Terrence Bates, who's in the Rockies. So for the first time, I think since we've been working together, I'm got mountains behind me and you've got mountains right outside the studio. Kind of nice, no?
- [34:25]
C
Absolutely, Brian. Even though your. Well, I can't say it's more beautiful because, I mean, I, I guess I'm so used to my view and the view of the Rockies, like, you know, it's just an everyday thing. And so knowing the Alps, they are also gorgeous. I'm sorry, though, every time you say Arosa, Sweden, Switzerland, I immediately think of Omarosa. Remember Omarosa from President Trump? I was not a big fan of hers, and so I think I have ptsd. When you say Arosa, that's the first thing that comes to my mind and I start shivering.
- [34:57]
A
Yeah, so do I. Because she ended up turning on President Trump after he, I think he gave her kind of a job in the first administration, if I'm not mistaken. And she just became a disgruntled woman leaving that. Okay, so we've got the ceremonies kicking off tonight. There is a brief concert, Terrence, happening tonight. Is it? John Batista, I believe, was performing and there's an opening ceremony, opening conference. But, Terrence, you and I talked about this at the beginning of the show when President Trump announced he was coming here. I think we all had to take a, you know, double look at that headline and say, why would he come to this event? Right. What was your initial take on that when you heard President Trump was coming to Davos in 26?
- [35:41]
C
The word perplexed is, I think, probably the most appropriate word to be used. I scratched my head. In fact, you and I talked Friday, if you remember, and you were saying, hey, yeah, I'm headed over to Davos. And I was just like, why is he going? You know, trying to figure out what the end game is, what the benefit would be. And I asked that question simply because the World Economic Forum is largely seen as a place for globalists. And President Trump, of course, is an anti globalist. That's the farthest from what he is. He is the America first president. He is maga. And so I'm wondering what he stands to gain. But Having said that, even developments since then, and the thing that really comes to mind is Greenland, and you mentioned it earlier, President Trump has said that he is prepared to slap a 10% tariff on countries that oppose his standpoint, his view and position on taking control of Greenland. I suspect, Brian, that there will be attempts to meet with President Trump even on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum and the events of Davos from some of those countries to discuss the positioning of President Trump. And a lot of them probably are going to try to find a way to have President Trump back off of potential tariffs against them. So I suspect that this is going to be a very full week for the president. Obviously he's going to have a message for the folks there at Davos, but I suspect that there are going to be a number of European leaders who are going to be trying to meet with President Trump on the sidelines of this particular conference and hoping to have him pull back from the threat of those tariffs, which he said would start in February. Brian, that's my thinking.
- [37:26]
A
I think you're right. I think he's here to kind of tip over the apple cart of the established world order and make more of a dominance presence as the US as we've seen what the trade gap has been over the years and the trade deficit, I should say, and also the, the, these countries have been simply ripping us off in regards to tariffs. So I think, I think that's a valid point and I think Greenland is another huge discussion and I just saw a poll just yesterday that they, you know, people in Greenland aren't necessarily for any type of US Intervention of taking, you know, the land back or buying it from Denmark. They're not necessarily for that. But I think that's a messaging problem. Terrence. I think that if we had, if President Trump would deliver sort of a state of the union for the people who live in Greenland as far as far as what his intentions are, why he's doing this, why it's better for people who live in Greenland, why benefits us as well? Why benefits anybody in the Western hemisphere? I think that would be a good plan of action because I'd simply think that the message is getting lost through the left leaning news that all of a sudden if you live in Greenland, US Troops are going to show up on your shores. And I'd simply, we all know that that's not true. I mean, would you agree with that, that there needs to be some type of focused messaging on them?
- [38:53]
C
And to your point, President Trump has said that he is looking to buy Greenland. That's a huge difference from I'm just going to take it by force. You know, he is being very diplomatic in all of this, saying yes, it's of US national interest and so I am looking to buy it. And even the tariffs that he's threatening right now, those are tariffs against countries that even oppose or have taken positions opposing the idea of the President buying B U Y I N g buying Greenland. You know, early on he said that all options were on the table basically. And so of course people took that to mean oh, there would be military options. But very publicly the President said that he is looking to purchase Greenland. He's even made I think something like 700 million or $700 billion. So there's even a number out there, he's even offering up a price tag for Greenland. It's not like he's just going to go take it over, send US troops there and just bully them into doing it. No, he's still willing to buy it. Now, whether you agree with it or not, whether MAGA agrees with it or not, that's a whole different conversation. But to say oh, he's just going to take it by force at this point, that doesn't appear accurate as again he is at least offering up a purchase price for the island of Greenland.

Yeah, and I want to point out you take a look at some of the video that we shot yesterday driving in on your screen. Amazing stuff. We talked off camera about the roads here and how narrow some of these roads going through these small swift Swiss villages are. I would equivalent to one and a half cars wide so many times. And you of course that's a two lane road right there. But some of the other ones were very narrow, very different mode of transportation here and the different differences between these, the big US cities we have, you know, 12 lane highway versus some of the smaller stuff, but it's just a very scenic part of the world. I do see why this conference is here in Switzerland. They are kind of the Switzerland of politics as well. Very neutral country in terms of their. You wouldn't necessarily say they're ultra liberal or ultra conservative. It's just kind of in the, in the middle being neutral. So it was certainly a journey getting here yesterday. Okay, so let's turn our attention. We have about a minute and a half left. We talked about this earlier. About 1500 soldiers that we're learning from the Pentagon will make will be deployed there in Minnesota to maybe take control of that area. That's typically, that's right now out of control. Yeah.
- [41:28]
C
And you know, President Trump has, of course, threatened the Insurrection Act. And at this point, it seems that the situation in Minneapolis is out of control. And so something drastic needs to be done in order to reel those protesters in, in order to get that city back on track and back to some sense of normalcy. And so the president is pulling out all the stops. The deployment of these troops hopefully will help to swiften to make faster, that calmer heads will prevail and that things will get back to some sort of semblance of peace and prosperity in the city of Minneapolis. Maybe not the prosperity, but at least we can get the peace there.

Thanks, Brian.

Still ahead, we come back, more coverage here from Switzerland, plus the great and the one and only David Brody coming up next on AMERICAN sunrise. EARLY EDITION from Switzerland. We'll be right back. All right. Welcome back. Taking a look right now what it's like to drive through the streets here in Switzerland. It's the EARLY EDITION live from Arosa continues. We'll also continue talking about some of the policies that will come out of this conference and the conversations that are you got 1300 worldwide politicians meeting here in combination of some of the biggest companies and the CEOs that run these companies, they get together in a room and they talk about how to make your life better. All the reaction to Covid and all the overreaction to Covid started with organizations like that happen here at World Economic Forum. So we'll find out if pandemics or how to handle pandemics are actually on any of the agendas. I did not see that. But I will make a double look at that. Let's bring in my partner, David Brody, comes from us live from what I found out to be a much chillier Washington, D.C. ironically than it is here. David?
- [44:26]
D
Yeah, it Is freezing. I'm freezing my. You know what off over here, by the way. Tell me there's going to be some video of you skiing at some point there at the World Economic Forum. Please tell me that, Brian.
- [44:39]
A
You know, we were talking yesterday about this and I thought, you know what? The last thing I want is to take a 14 hour plus flight back to the US in some type of leg brace. There will be no skiing, there will be no anything on the Snow because I'm 56 years old and if I fall down, things break.
- [44:56]
D
Yeah, no, I hear you on that. So listen, on the World Economic Forum, first of all, say hello to my BFF, Klaus Schwab over there. Obviously that'd be number one. But beyond all of that, look, you mentioned Covid. Yeah. Can we go back to the day where Trump went down over to the world. Went down, went over to Switzerland, to the World Economic Forum and dressed down. All of them. I don't think it's not gonna be a dress down this time. There's something different. It's something different. They're taking the largest, as you know, Brian, the largest MAGA contingent over there. They're basically trying to win the global game. I mean, they're trying to basically say, okay, World Economic Forum, you've had your chance at kind of doing all of your mumbo jumbo liberal crap and we're going to make somehow we're gonna put our American footprint into the World Economic Forum. Now what that looks like, I don't know, a lot of people will say, hey, you're dabbling into globalism here. So, so I think that's something we have to watch out for. But this is a different Donald Trump coming to, coming to Davos as, as compared to other years, Brian.
- [46:03]
A
It is. And we take a look at some of the conferences that will take place in the next couple of days about climate change. Okay, I thought we were done talking about that, David. Apparently we're talking about climate change and how it affects people and their everyday lives and the security and safety of their homes. But the top issue here, David, believe it or not, is AI and the future of AI, what that looks like. Now, I know that some of these data centers drain a lot of resources from those local areas. Water, electricity, things like that. So we'll find out the future of AI here at Davos as well.
- [46:35]
D
Well, you mentioned AI and it's interesting because there's a fight internally in maga. There's a lot of internal fights in MAGA right now, but AI is one of them state controlled, federal controlled, you know, where, where should the line be exactly. So, yeah, this is something that's important to Maga as well. So good, good luck to you over there. Please have, I don't know what they have in Switzerland. I'm assuming they have good coffee. I have no idea what else they have. Swiss cheese, I don't know.
- [47:00]
A
I have no idea. I have no idea. They have, they have great coffee, great danishes, things like that. We had a terrific breakfast. It wasn't the rooty tutti fresh and fruity than I'm used to back in the States, but it was very, very Switzerland. Thank you so much for joining us, David. Yeah, no, it was not the Hampton end. All right, we're back here tomorrow morning bright and early. 7pm, 7pm, 7am eastern. Stay tuned for more coverage. Davos 2026 right here on Real America's Voice. We'll see you later.
