Brian Glenn
All right. Good morning to AMERICAN Sunrise EARLY edition. Happy Friday, everybody. I am Brian Glenn, back from Davos, Switzerland. As we spent the majority of this past week covering President Trump's arrival there. And so we've got kind of a big picture moment for Trump's winning week. Davos, of course, you've got talk about Greenland, the Board of Peace. And there's also a personal milestone in that as well. Now, what made this past week so special is for the first time, the world truly got to see President Trump. And in terms of his leadership, his accomplishments that he's had this year, we'll go over some of that here in just a second. And some of the things that he has been able to reverse due to the disastrous economy that we inherited from Joe Biden. So quite honestly, he was able to kind of take a victory lap to the world, but then better yet, establish this. We talk the Board of Peace and show the world that Donald Trump under his leadership was not going to send us into World War Three. Quite honestly, he was going to advert several wars. And as he'd gone around the world solving about seven, eight wars, got one more left, as he likes to say. We'll do that as well. Plus, he's celebrating 2020 first wedding anniversary, first lady Melania Trump. What a great achievement that is. No doubt we'll get a little bit more to that here in just a moment. But first, let's get right into the Bible verse today as we all need to see that today, here's a verse that really sets the framework. The verse is from Psalm 103:19. 103:19. It says, quote, the Lord has established his throne in heaven and his kingdom rules over all. And reminder, power comes and goes, authority endures. Incredible there. And that I think that's a great Bible verse for today because I thought about this on my 10 hour, 11 and a half hour journey to the US that no matter how many conferences we attend, no matter what laws we make, no matter what, you know, governing body exists, we are not in control. God is ultimately in control. So we can bicker about policies and all of that, but he is truly in control. Okay, back to our lead story in Davos. President Trump laying out a bold vision for American prosperity, the transatlantic British strength and the west stands together. Now, you know, when you look at some of the accomplishments that he has, and I'm going to go over a few of them, because if you remember, before he took the trip over to Davos, he held a press conference in the briefing room. And we're talking about how he has done everything from closing the border to fixing the economy to solving world peace. Here's a couple. One of the things he talked about in this speech was home ownership and how achieving the American dream was something that seems out of touch now, that many young people simply cannot afford a down payment on their house. Well, hence you will enter the 401k element of it, where you can basically borrow against that and use that asset as your house is a part of your investment plan. And so when you look at, you know, kind of what the concerns for this younger voter that we were able to capture in this last election, home ownership, the ability to get out of college, go find a job and be able to buy a home, start a family, very much what many people want to do, President Trump tapping in on that. And it comes to credit card companies. This is a very interesting stat that I learned the other day that 71% of Americans say they live from paycheck to paycheck. Now, this is coming from one of the wealthiest countries in the world in that we find it that 71% of the population right now is living paycheck to paycheck. Now why is that? Well, not only does the four years under Joe Biden and the inflation has really creeped into a lot of people's budget, but you also got to look at the fact that credit card interest rates that they charge you are high teens, high 20s, many I think the average I saw was like around 22%. Well, that interest that you're paying on your credit cards really prevents you from chewing that balance down, therefore keeping the balance outstanding, balance high and really cutting into your monthly budget. And that's just been one of the things that President Trump under his leadership is wanting to do is to cap that at 10% for one year. Now, if you want to look at how does it go about doing that, it's not as easier. As said, it's going to take some help from Congress, which, by the way, we're going to get into this tomorrow. But I'll kind of Tee this up for you. Right now, Congress is passing some very outrageous appropriations or what we call earmarks into the budget and they are led by Democrats, not Republicans. There are some rhinos out there that are voting the wrong way right now. But Speaker Johnson is allowing Democrats to insert earmarks that affect their districts. And that's funding perhaps an abortion clinic, funding a clinic that performs puberty blockers or gender affirming care. So we'll get into a little bit more of that tomorrow. Why are Republicans allowing Democrats to fund some of these things that you and I most likely voted against? Also under his leadership, US Natural gas production has an all time high. You know, it was a campaign slogan, drill, drill, baby, drill. And that's exactly what we had actually been doing. We did a lot of drilling under Joe Biden, but nothing compared to what we're doing now. So the way he is able to lower the energy cost in all of this. And if you look at President Trump often talks about windmills in Europe and these other countries. And I didn't quite see that flying into Amsterdam yesterday to make my connection here in the States, there was a ton of windmills. And I tried to, you know, basically, you know, shoot out the window to get some video on that. But the way that Europe has gravitated to the, you know, green energy, renewable energy versus what we're doing, a little more, you know, substantive. We got oil in the ground and fracking, we've got all the West Texas shale, all the oil we've pulled out of there, production is there, inventory is there. So we've lowered the cost of everything. But if I could just for a second go back to Davos and I know people in the control room are probably pulling up this video, but I want to talk a little bit about, you know, what? There it was, it was a spirit of dialogue was the theme of this year's Davos. So it's bringing people together, talk about ideas, talk about climate change, the advances in AI. Where does, how does AI guide the labor market or perhaps slash the labor market? It's interesting and I saw a couple clips where we had other leaders from other countries say, look, you guys came to us eight years ago and said the world was going to collapse if we didn't adapt all of these climate change policies into our government, quite honestly happened. It's good to see that parts of the world are pushing back on this climate green economic push to get away from traditional natural gas and oil. And it's also interesting to see how Davos 8 years ago and from what I understand that the last year of Joe Biden, he did not attend the World Economic Forum. I think he zoomed into it and of course that was coming off of a little bit of COVID and a little travel restriction. So the attendance at this year's World Economic Forum, from what I understand was almost at an all time high. So most people, they've ever seen. Now, one being that the political climate right now is pretty hot. I mean, I call it kind of everything's in chaos right now. And I have a sense of chaos fatigue to a certain degree because I feel like there's so much stuff going around the world involving so many countries that a lot of people obviously want to attend these forums. But if you look at the, the corporate policy that has been put in place from Davos previously, all the WOKE policies, all the DEI stuff that was incorporated, I had a colleague of mine that works for another network and I'm going to leave his name and his network anonymous for that, told me that when they applied for the World Economic Forum credentials, one of the questions that they asked was what would your carbon footprint be like coming to this event to cover it and how would you negate that or try to reduce that? And I started thinking of the 480 CEOs and heads of company coming into that small little eastern Swiss town on their private jets. Not sure if they were asked the same question, if they would reduce their carbon footprint coming to this year's Davos. But it's very interesting and I think by President Trump, I think he really left, and I said this before, and when you talk about kicking over the apple cart of the old World order, I think there's very much a new world order under President Trump in regards to policy, national policy, world policy. He called him out, even called out the host country, Switzerland, saying, look, if it wasn't for the advances and the opportunities with our partnership in the US you wouldn't have the degree of wealth that you have right now in your country. So that's something to look at. But I'm glad I'm, I'm back. You know, if you've ever traveled to Europe, you know, there's so many different things and nuances that they do that we don't do. And I gotta say real quickly, a shout out to everyone behind the camera at real America's voice as having a major time change of six hours to begin with is very difficult to produce shows and put it together. But we kind of put all of our content this past week. We kind of laced it together because we were missing an entire production rig. Like five or six pieces of our production rig was completely blown out due to shipping. So we never received them in Switzerland. So we were running kind of which not the right equipment that we had. So we did what we did. We got it across. We covered it the best we could. And I know that traveling over to Europe sometimes can be very difficult. And mind you, it's a different culture over there, different power, power sources. You got to have a different outlet, you know, connector. That kind of threw us a loop sometimes. We might have forgotten that it's not like the US Anyway. But I want to thank everybody at Real America's Voice that got up early, especially yesterday. Terence Bate getting up at one o' clock in the morning to cover that special announcement that we had with the Board of Peace that we covered. I was in Zurich, he was in Denver. And we just put it all together. So I want to say thank you to everyone behind the camera and then all of my colleagues and poor, poor Luke, he's, he's still there. He flies home. I think today, Mason, I think I got home before Mason did and he left way before I did. So I know the travel was not easy. All right. Coming up, we're going to talk about more about Davos and we're going to talk to also about the chaos that's happening in our country right now, particularly in Minnesota. That and a whole lot more on this special edition of American Sunrise, early edition after the break. Stick around. All right, welcome back. America's Sunrise EARLY Edition live. Look at Minnesota there. I'm not sure if they're doing the Somali waltz. Maybe they are this early. It would be a cold Somali waltz for sure. That is a live look at Minnesota. All right, let's get caught up on everything from from where I'm sitting now over to Terrence Bates and Denver. Terrence, you know, there's a lot of headlines. There's a lot of stuff to talk about right now.
Terrence Bates
Oh, there's a lot of stuff to talk about. I think the biggest headline is Brian Glenn made it back into the United States safely. You look better. Georgia suits you a little bit better than Switzerland does, even though it was fun being with you all week long. Great coverage over there in Switzerland. So let's get to some of those headlines. Brian. First up, new data confirms that murders are down more than 20% last year. It's the largest one year drop on record. In fact, it might be the lowest rate since 1900. Get this Carjackings are down. Shoplifting is down. In general, Violent crime is back to pre 2019 levels. A report from the Independent Council on Criminal justice lays out all of these statistics. It does, however, say that drug crimes increased and sexual assaults stayed. Even President Trump definitely the law and order. President BRIAN. And moving on, more headlines to talk about. Iran is also back in the headlines as new photos show shocking evidence that of the crimes that have been committed there and the atrocities against the Iranian people. The images were never meant to be seen. They were actually leaked from a south Tehran mortuary. They were quietly smuggled out despite Internet blackouts. Look at this, folks. Brutal crackdowns there on protesters have been deadly. We're talking children among the dead. Some people had their faces battered. Some of the pictures show gunshot wounds. And it is proof also that the death toll there is far higher than was reported. Remember, we're talking thousands of people dead. The regime claims that there are 3,000 people dead, but the pictures seem to imply that there are many more. The United nations is warning that the warning, excuse me, that the real number could hit about 20,000 people. President Trump's red line has clearly been crossed. Possible crimes against humanity is what's being discussed. Let's bring Brian in to talk a bit more about this one, because, Brian, as I said, President Trump warned if this thing gets out of hand, if you continue to violence, the United States is going to get involved militarily. And so it looks like that very well may be the case. Are you hearing anything from your sources at the White House in terms of the administration's position in this morning?
Brian Glenn
Well, they haven't doubled down on that initial position, but we all know what his message was to Hamas, and he didn't beat around the bush on that at all. He will not tolerate that. Those images that you just showed, man, my goodness, was sitting here watching it as well. Can't believe exactly what's happening in that country. If I could go back real quickly to the drop in murder rates and carjackings, I think that is phenomenal. I asked President Trump in the Oval Office several months ago about how we could potentially. This is like, I think in October, November, that if it stayed on course, it would be the lowest ever. And he even was a little bit surprised by that. And so, you know, Terrence, why do you think that. That violent crime and murder has dropped to record lows. I mean, what do you think contributed to that?
Terrence Bates
Well, off the top of my head, Brian, I would say it's President Trump and the fact that he's created this environment that disinvites and disincentivizes, if you will, crime. The fact that he has deployed National Guard troops obviously to the nation's capital. And in other places, while the focus very well in some of those places may have been anti illegal immigration operations, again, it sets a tone nationwide that he's not going to put up with the sort of crime that's plagued so many of our cities. It's also become such a big political flashpoint. And so I think even criminals, while they may do idiotic things and many times they're not necessarily idiots. And so when they see that and they realize, okay, this guy is cracking down, there are going to be consequences and repercussions for my actions, I suspect that many of them think twice and say, you know what, instead of going out and knocking over an old lady, I'm gonna sit my behind down in the living room and just watch some soap operas. That would be be my two cents on that. Brian want you to listen to this story here as well. Brian A disturbing trend is developing and it's assassination culture. Apparently it's on the rise. A study warns that political violence actually being normalized these days. The support appears to be, Brian, strongest among the left, women, though, also showing increases in this particular type of crime, or at least the ideology of this assassination culture. Social media, as you know, is fueling a lot of this radicalization. Even overnight, Brian, an antifa kill list surfaced, which lists some of our colleagues here on Rav, Ben Berkram, Jack Posobiek, among others. The White House is now warning that this rhetoric has to stop. They've been saying this for many months now. In fact, I think one could argue for years President Trump even calling for unity as well as law and order. And Brian, this is frightening. This is frightening, particularly given where we came from in 2025. Of course, it started with the assassination attempts, a couple assassination attempts against President Trump. Then of course, most recently, excuse me, Charlie Kirk being assassinated. One would hope that the rhetoric would be toned down. One would hope that this sort of of assassination culture would tone down, but it seems to just be ramping up, which is frightening.
Brian Glenn
Brian yeah, it's, it's actually not surprising to me, Terrence, because leftist women have no problem aborting their baby. So they have no problem aborting their own baby or someone else's baby. Then if they disagree with you politically and they've been brainwashed, hate you from culture and academia. It doesn't surprise me at all, sadly enough. So well, Terence, thank you so much. I appreciate you dipping in on this. Now, quick word about something big. RAV sponsor Old Glory bank is expected to go public. I love the name of this bank to begin with. I think it's great. In just a few months. That's right, Old Glory bank expects to be listed on the Nasdaq for the first time. Every day Americans can own stock in a bank that actually stands for them.

Brian Glenn
All right. Welcome back, American Sunrise guys, Early Edition. I am Brian Glenn. That is a live look at Atlanta, Georgia, where I can guarantee you in about 35 minutes those roads will be packed. And by the way, they also have a winter storm warning for this part of the south and along the Mississippi Delta going in southern Tennessee. There you are right there. Big storm coming through here talking about 1 to 3 inches of ice in certain locations. I know north Texas where I have a lot of family and kids live there. I told them, stay off the roads, people. We're going to have what's described as cobblestone ice. That is when it rains, it freezes, it thaws, it snows, it thaws, it freezes again. So you have a lot of thawing and refreezing occurring on the roadways which gives it a cobblestone effect. Very dangerous situation. So I would say if you have any errands to do today, if you live in the south, get it done early and get it done before about 3, 4 o'. Clock. If you live anywhere in Texas, that's the anticipated arrival time of some of that nasty weather. So be careful out there. Thanks for putting that up in the studio, guys. And gives you an idea. If you're in South Florida, it looks like temperatures are pretty manageable actually, but not a bad place to be. All right, before we get started, let's get a quick word from one of our sponsors. I love these guys. Artillery Tea Company, the veteran owned patriotic tea brand delivering premium whole leaf tea in a biodegradable sachet which brews twice as strong as it as any other brew. And get this, if you love great tea on your terms and check out Patriots Brew Club for automatic shipments that you control. You can cancel. You can swap out flavors anytime, no commitments.

Click Join Patriots Brew Club to get started. You got to support these sponsors that help this network cover a lot of these events. So I highly encourage you if you like what you see and you like tea, Go check it out. All right, Focus right now is on mini Minneapolis Vice President JD Vance on the ground. Unrest, protest and a media narrative is collapsing in real time. Take a listen.
Vice President JD Vance
And I see this story and I'm a father of a five year old, actually a five year old little boy. And I think to myself, oh my God, this is terrible. How did we arrest a five year old? Well, I do a little bit more follow up research and what I find is that the five year old was not arrested, that his dad was an illegal alien and then they went, when they went to arrest his illegal alien father, the father ran. So the story is that ICE detained a five year old. Well what are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to let a five year old child freeze to death? Are they not supposed to arrest an illegal alien in the United States of America? If the argument is that you can't arrest people who have violated laws because they have children, then every single parent is going to be completely given immunity from ever being the subject of law enforcement. That doesn't make any sense. No one thinks that makes any sense.
Brian Glenn
One of the things I really love about Vice President JD Vance is he has a very unique way of explaining stuff. And that was one of probably thousands of incidents that we've seen happen. And the media took a completely different narrative on it. It's not like it was, it's not necessarily misinformation, it's like leaving out the facts that well, did you want the kid to freeze in the cold weather? They have to be taken care of. So this is just what we're still looking at right now. Okay, Vice President J.D. vance is also talking about reporting like this. Here's the NPR headline, ICE detains a five year old Minnesota Boy. I mean there it is right there. So you've got that the Washington Post ran why detain a 5 year old? Another very misleading hairline. And check this one out. Rep. Ilhan Omar posted on X claiming that ICE used a child as quote, bait. That's the narrative that he's pushing back on, on all of this. And, and, and, and, and President Trump does that quite often as well. I mean a lot of times Carolyn Levitt in the briefing room will have a video monitor pulled up with someone's post, a social media post where they get, you know, they'll put up the, what somebody with CNN or somebody might claims and then she debunks that that's what they're constantly doing in this administration because we have a press for the most Part that is not telling the full truth on stuff. All right, turning attention over to Attorney General Pam Bonnie confirms action in Minnesota. Two arrests have been made. Federal agents arrested Nakima Levy Armstrong, accused of helping organize the attack on a church service in St Paul. A second arrest followed. Chantel Louisa Allen, now in custody. The message is clear here. Attacks on houses of worship will not be tolerated. Now, when we all saw this, this video play out and it kind of went viral. If you remember Don Lemon walking in there, they were, you know, already in process of the worship. And I, and I've, I'll give the, the, the minister there, the preacher a lot of credit for being very respectful for the most part of these people coming in there and disrupting the service. The images are on your screen right there. And you know that actions like this cannot be tolerated. This is one of those things where if you want to stand outside the church or a grocery store or a shopping mall or what have you and voice your opinion, that's great. But when you start to go into a house of worship, can you imagine what the reaction would be if, if, if someone went into a mosque or someone went into any kind of temple and disrupted that service? Boy, I tell you, the media would have a hard time on that. But for right now, they're pretty much silent on this. All right, Real America's voice also has a new song out. We have. Real America's music has a new song out. It's called Somali Waltz. It's from the chart topping recording artist and patriotic powerhouse Natasha Owen. It's a satirical take on what's happening in Minnesota. Take a listen.
American Sunrise Host
Minnesota's headlines are getting wild. Tim Walls and Ilhan Omar are being accused of massive fraud. And it's so bad, all you can do is laugh at this point. So from Real America's music, the label that brought you the number one hit anthem of the free, comes a brand new song from singer songwriter Natasha Owens, the Somali Waltz. Let's make the music industry mad and run this to number one. Scan the QR code or search the Somali Waltz on itunes and buy it right now. The Somali Waltz, available everywhere. I like that little beat.
Brian Glenn
I like the video. I like the videos. Pretty clever. Here's the deal, though. We have to support independent artists who aren't afraid to speak the truth. Artists like Natasha Owens. She'll be joining us later on the big show America Sunrise this morning, so you can download her song right now on itunes. The same way you helped take the J6 prison choir all the way to number one. That's right. We've done it before. We can do it again. Go check it out. The goal is simple to drive up the charts. Every download sends a message to the culture that is shifting and we're leading it. I'm telling Next week is Grammy week in Los Angeles. This would be a great time to push this song up the charts in the in in before the Grammys. Wouldn't love to go into the Grammys and this song is number one. I love it. All right, in a few minutes. Don't go. Anyway, more American Sunrise coming up after the break. Stick around.

Welcome to American Sunrise EARLY edition, the show where fate, freedom and the values that built this nation take center stage.
Brian Glenn
All right. Welcome back. America Sunrise EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. Thanks so much for joining us on this. Happy Friday. And we've had such a busy week. I know that everyone at Rural America's Voice, being that we had the presence over there in Davos covering all of that, getting all of our crew back, back here to the States, it's been kind of a hectic week. And so I know that this weekend will probably be filled a little bit more rest, maybe some golf, you know, maybe a little bit of time with your family. So I hope everyone does that as well. Now, one guy that I have a lot to say about is Jack Smith. That's a prosecutor, President Trump and under under oath himself testifying on Thursday. You got a sneak pe with defending his case. Take a listen.
Jack Smith
I would do so regardless of whether that president was a our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity. If asked whether to prosecute a former president based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Democrat or a Republican. No one, no one should be above the law in this country. And the law required that he be held to account. So that is what I did. To have done otherwise on the facts of these cases would have been to shirk my duties as a prosecutor and as a public servant, of which I had no intention of doing.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, well, what is clear right now is the hunters are now being hunted. And of course, I remember I had a few minutes with President Trump months ago whenever the big beautiful flagpole was being installed on the South Lawn. And I had mentioned about all of this and he said now the hunters are now the hunted are now being the hunters, meaning that President Trump and his administration now going after the ones that completely vilified the doj, the FBI. And you think about this for a second. Jack Smith aside, if you look at the overall all underneath the umbrella of weaponization, we, we saw a couple things take place the January 6, whenever they went after every January 6 or anybody even went near the Capitol on that day, they put aside investigations for all the other stuff that probably would greatly affect your life. That would be a criminals, real criminals that were running the street that didn't go after anything. I think they only prosecuted maybe less than 8% of those cases. And the major focus was on January 6th, going after, you know, the 82 year old grandma that just went to the Capitol with her granddaughter, took a picture, went back home, next, you know, knock, knock on the door. They're being investigated. It's, it's stuff like that that really still to this day really aggravates a lot of people on the right, a lot of conservatives. We don't really necessarily feel that any type of justification, or I should say accountability has happened in regards to all the weaponization from January 6th to school board meetings. I mean, think about it. During COVID we had all the lockdowns with the kids and all the, all the stuff that was going on in the schools. And of course, next thing you know, if you went to your, your, your school board meeting to just ask a question to the superintendent, that you were automatically labeled some type of domestic terrorist. Like they went after them, they went after people that simply wanted to make make their schools a better place for their kids. So Jack Smith and the FBI and the doj, they weren't worried about the criminals. They were worried about going after moms and dads and kids and school boards. And then you go to the situation where you had some protesters, the very peaceful protesters that went out to an abortion clinic and that would basically sing praise and worship songs and pray for people walking into these clinics. They were arrested, they were charged, they were put in jail, some, some with very long terms that recently was, was reversed too. But once again, they're going after us. And I feel like the ones that were hunting us, they should to a certain extent be hunted legally and have some type of accountability. And so President Trump has some very strong words in regards to Jack Smith and how he feels about Jack Smith. And they're not kind. And if you look at Letitia James, you look at Alvin Bragg and all the weaponization of their departments towards President Trump. Remember the insurance case where you've got multiple counts of insurance fraud and that basically getting loans based on the value of a, a property and they said, oh, the property in Mar A Lago, it's only worth like 10 million or whatever. There's a parking lot in Mar a lago worth $10 million more or less the price or the estimated for Mar A Lago. So all of that steel has not really been justified. I mean, yes, they did win, but still there has to be some accountability towards these judges and these departments that went after President Trump, that went after the average American, that went after Jay six years, that went after people trying to save wives, going to abortion clinics. So he. So that's why right now, I think American people are still a little angry and they're a little disappointed. And I'm a supporter of Pam Bondi, the Attorney General. I am. I've supported her. I think whenever she took over to that position, there was a laundry. Can you imagine being Pam Bondi and walking into your office on the first day and all of a sudden not knock on your door? Here's the case, ma'. Am. Okay, thank you very much. Not. Not okay, ma'.
Public Investing Sponsor
Am.
Brian Glenn
Here's the case. Okay. There's no telling what's on her desk right now. She has a laundry list of things that she needs to work on. So I think we have a certain. We have to have a certain degree of patience because we live kind of in this news cycle, and I've said this before, where we want everything now. We want handcuffs and perk walks. We want the trial, we want the sentencing, we want them to go to jail now. We want it like in the next week, not going to happen. That's not the real world. And I think that we need to give Pam Bondi and her whole administration, if you will, some patience, because I do think these will be coming now. President Trump talked about this at the World Economic Forum during his speech about the accountability of the 2020 election. Has often said the 2020 election was stolen. There was so much corruption. There was all of, you know, someone stole the election. We know who you are. And it links to sometimes some foreign countries. So he hinted and even said, perhaps this is breaking news that, you know, accountability could be coming for those individuals. Now, let me tell you something in the MAGA world, and I'll go ahead and make myself the unofficial spokesperson for maga. And I do think that out of all the journalists that have covered President Trump and have been on America First Movement, the campaign, I think I have a pulse on what people want. People want accountability for the 2020 election, period. They want to know who was behind it, how they. How do they steal it, Whether it was from voting, electronic machines or any type of device. Or was it mail in ballots, was it absentee ballot? Like, how was it done? I think that's really what he wants to get down to, is find out who was a part of the 2020 election scam. He wants to find out who was behind it. And was Barack Obama, perhaps, or any kind of other previous political figure, were they behind any type of plan to steal the election? I mean, there's the information on your screen. I mean, I Remember when this thing went down after the 2020 election? We've had Doug Masteriano on. He's a senator from Pennsylvania. State senator. He was the first public official to say, wait a minute, there's something going on here. It doesn't add up here in Pennsylvania. We need to have a public hearing. Well, guess what? Yours truly was one of the first people to cover election fraud after the 2020 election. So I went to every single public hearing, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, went to them. All heard the evidence. We knew it then that people were behind this stolen election. We knew kind of who was involved, but we didn't. The media didn't cover. They called all of us conspiracy theorists, election deniers. They called all of us criminals, for the most part, deplorables. But it's now it's time to really get vindication for all of this and hold these people accountable. And as we go into the midterms, to be quite honest with you, I'm not 100% confident that some of these states have done enough to clean up their voter rolls, that we don't have dead people voting, we don't have any type of shady electronic calculations on the field. I'm not sure any of that's been cleared up to the point where it can, you know, be. We can safely say this election in this state was safe. We can certify this election. So, you know, we're. We're probably a month or so away, maybe 35, 40 days away from early voting in somebody's primaries. I know that Georgia's got one as well coming up. Early voting for that starts in February. So we're going into 26. So all this talk about accountability for the stolen election in 2020, that needs to happen. It needs to happen sooner or later to send a message that we will not tolerate anymore. Because if you don't think they're going to try and go after President Trump, if they were to win the majority in Congress and if they would take over the majority of Senate, it's done. They're going to run the table. They will get rid of the filibuster, in my opinion. They'll never, because they'll ram down every policy that they can to basically reverse all of the executive orders that were put in place as well. They can do that easily. That's why it was so important to codify these things. Not just have President Trump sign an executive order on an issue, but codify it into law by Congress and by the Senate. And the fact that we have right now Speaker Johnson is allowing Democrats to submit earmarks to provide funding to abortion clinics, to provide some of the things that we all voted against shows a complete lack of leadership to a certain degree in loyalty to the maga, America First, President Trump base. It's just not happening. And it's, it should, it should really infuriate everyone at home because if you knocked on doors, you donated, you went to a phone bank, you did all these things to help get the vote out, and then all of a sudden you see your elected leaders do absolutely nothing and actually reverse what, what they, what they were put in place to do. It should make you completely irate, Take a deep breath, relax. We've got a few more months before we really start to get in the midterms. But I just wanted to get that, that perfectly clear. We must have accountability in our Department of Justice in terms of election. All right, before we go to break, a quick word from one of our sponsors. My Patriot Supplies. Oh, my goodness. This is perfect timing for this plug because right now the many parts of the nation are going to plunge into very brutally cold temperatures. Snowstorms, power outages. Think about this. If the power goes out and it really gets cold, cold, you have a way to keep yourself warm. It's a real problem because if the power goes out, you can't stay warm. And then you get cold. And that's also life threatening as well. Like it was in Texas a few years ago. I was there in Texas and lost everything. The power was out. Everything, everything went. I had to replace $20,000 worth of pool equipment. Okay. And we froze for about a week. We couldn't find fire. We couldn't even find firewood. It wasn't available. This right here, here, the Vesta off grid heater from my Patriot ply is the perfect space heater that doesn't use electricity or propane. It runs on something, what's called canned heat, which is an indoor safe fuel. With the besta stashed in your closet, you can always keep warm no matter what. Even doubles as a stove to cook your food is pretty cool. The best part is right now, get this Vesta and a bunch of more cool gear for free. When you order the winter survival kit from my Patriot supply, just go to my patriotsupply.com rav to see what's included. This offer will not last long. Do it right now. This winter storm is coming. You got friends and family in the deep South. They're going to need some help. Order one for them. My Patriotsupply.com Rav Today that's my Patriotsupply.com Rav all right, we come back. The President is scheduled to speak today at 9 o'. Clock. Pull time 1:30. He's going to hold a print interview. He's got a bunch of stuff going to Oval Office. I'll post this up on my social media as well. At three o' clock President Trump signs a congressional bill. We don't really know exact one. That is 4:30 today President Trump meets with Social Security Administration commissioner. That's a close off the press. It may open later and then at 5:30. If he's not done by then he's got some policy time in the Oval Office. So President Trump is the hardest working war world leader available. Few minutes. We'll come right back. Final stretch here. America Sunrise continues after the break. Do the Somali Waltz as you go up in the into the kitchen and get that cup of coffee. We'll see in a few. Play your cards right.

All right. Welcome back. That is a live look from Rising Fawn, Georgia. That is one of the most beautiful golf courses. I'm not mistaken. I'll get. That's in Cloudland Park. It is an absolutely beautiful part of Northwest Georgia, one of the best golf courses in the country. I'm sure President Trump would love to tee off on that. Welcome back. I am Brian Glenn. We'll be live today from the March of Life there in Washington, D.C. i don't know why they they pick this month to do it, because let me tell you something, it is always the coldest march for life. The 53rd annual gathering, rally speakers, the march to the Supreme Court, all of that takes place. Then Vice President J.D. vance is also expected to speak, as many others. Keep it right here for live coverage all day from the March of Life. Joining us now is David Brody. David, I want to ask you this question before we get into it. Why do they choose to hold this event in January? Because I can go back at all the years I've ever covered, March for life. It's been the coldest, nastiest weather for this thing.
David Brody
Well, you know, it is the anniversary of when Roe v. Wade was legalized back in 1973, January 22nd. And so from then on, is today the 26th, 23rd. I don't even know what day it is. Yeah. And so that's why they do it. But you're right. I mean, you never know. I mean, it could be like negative four or it could be 47 degrees. And boy, you know. So bottom line is the worst possible scenario, which is to have Roe v. Wade decided in January. Why couldn't it be decided in early June? But I guess not.
Brian Glenn
Yeah. Yeah. I just think maybe the attendance would be a lot bigger in the summertime when it's warmer. All right, quick, we got about a minute left. What's coming up on the big show a little bit later this morning?
David Brody
We got Congressman Tom Tiffany will be here. Talk about is there gonna be a government shutdown or not? Look here, spoiler alert. No, no, there's not gonna be A couple reasons. One, Democrats, they've seen that show, that train before, if you will, and they don't want any part of it, number one. And number two, they're getting these appropriation bills passed, as we saw in the House. And so therefore House, that Senate, the Senate will approve it. And so there's really, at this point, no need or there won't be any sort of government shutdown unless there's some sort of snag at the last second. And Brian, as you know, in Washington, there's always a snag around the corner. So you never know. And that's why we're just going to wait and see, brother.
Brian Glenn
And then tomorrow, I'm going to do a deep dive on why we are doing these earmarks for these very leftist Democrat requests. We'll talk about that tomorrow. David Brody.
Terrence Bates
Yes.
Brian Glenn
Always a pleasure. Thank you so much. Yes. We are not doing what Magdalen wants to do. It's, it's insane. Yeah, we'll hold people accountable. David, thank you very much.

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
Podcast: Real America’s Voice
Host: Brian Glenn (with Terrence Bates, David Brody & guests)
Date: January 23, 2026
Episode Theme: A week in review focused on President Trump’s activities at Davos, conservative policy updates, criminal justice statistics, media narratives, and the latest developments in US politics and culture—all examined from the show’s signature faith-and-freedom perspective.
This episode features a broad recapitulation of the week’s pivotal events—with special attention to President Trump’s visit to Davos and the administration’s claims of legislative and foreign-policy wins. The hosts analyze mainstream media narratives, discuss drops in crime statistics, report on unrest and arrests in Minnesota, and comment on “weaponization” within US institutions post-2020. Cultural commentary, including the launch of the “Somali Waltz” song, is interspersed with calls for accountability and vigilance during this election year.
(Brian Glenn, 03:09)
“For the first time, the world truly got to see President Trump… and in terms of his leadership, his accomplishments that he’s had this year.”
— Brian Glenn, (03:26)
“That interest that you’re paying on your credit cards really prevents you from chewing that balance down… President Trump under his leadership is wanting to do is to cap that at 10% for one year.”
— Brian Glenn, (06:55)
“I think there’s very much a new world order under President Trump in regards to policy, national policy, world policy.”
— Brian Glenn, (12:20)
(with Terrence Bates, Brian Glenn – [18:58])
Crime Down:
Iran Atrocities:
Terrence Bates (on crime drop):
“I would say it’s President Trump…he’s created this environment…that disinvites and disincentivizes, if you will, crime.”
([22:15])
(22:45–24:35)
“Even overnight, an antifa kill list surfaced which lists some of our colleagues here on RAV… The White House is now warning that this rhetoric has to stop.”
— Terrence Bates ([24:00])
Brian Glenn:
“Leftist women have no problem aborting their baby. So they have no problem aborting their own baby or someone else's baby. Then if they disagree with you politically…It doesn't surprise me at all, sadly enough.”
([24:36])
(Brian Glenn from [28:15])
“If the argument is that you can’t arrest people who have violated our laws because they have children, then every single parent is going to be completely given immunity from ever being the subject of law enforcement.”
— JD Vance (aired by Brian Glenn, [28:51])
Updates on Arrests:
Cultural Satire:
(Brian Glenn, [39:35] onward)
“People want accountability for the 2020 election period. They want to know who was behind it, how do they steal it… We knew it then… the media didn’t cover. They called all of us conspiracy theorists, election deniers. They called all of us criminals, for the most part, deplorables.”
— Brian Glenn, ([47:45])
(David Brody segment begins at [57:57])
"For the first time, the world truly got to see President Trump ... and in terms of his leadership, his accomplishments that he’s had this year."
— Brian Glenn, (03:26)
"Murders are down more than 20% last year ... violent crime is back to pre-2019 levels."
— Terrence Bates, (18:58)
"If the argument is that you can’t arrest people who have violated our laws because they have children, then every single parent is going to be completely given immunity..."
— JD Vance (aired by Brian Glenn), (28:51)
"I think there’s very much a new world order under President Trump in regards to policy, national policy, world policy."
— Brian Glenn, (12:20)
"People want accountability for the 2020 election period. They want to know who was behind it, how do they steal it..."
— Brian Glenn, (47:45)
The episode maintains a conversational, spirited, unapologetically conservative tone—with significant emphasis on faith, American values, and skepticism toward mainstream and progressive narratives. The hosts blend news, opinion, humor, and cultural recommendations, frequently referencing MAGA-aligned viewpoints and fostering a sense of urgency around accountability and civic vigilance.
For listeners who missed the episode:
This edition of American Sunrise Early Edition offered an unvarnished, right-leaning appraisal of current events—spotlighting President Trump’s international stature, conservative talking points on policy and crime, criticism of media misrepresentation, and steadfast calls for election accountability. Cultural and legislative developments, plus grassroots activism (like the March for Life and chart-pushing music), round out a program meant to inform and rally the core Real America’s Voice audience.
Next steps: Tune in tomorrow for a promised deep dive on Congressional earmarks and continuing updates on the show’s key issues.
