American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION on Real america's VOICE starts now.
A
All right.
B
Good morning.
A
Welcome to a Tuesday edition of American SUNRISE EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. We've got a lot in store. Take a look at the bottom of your screen right now, though. This is a cool way that QR code is your ticket to join the Weather Nation family. You can scan it, get connected. And even better, your hometown forecast could be next. So head over to Real America's voice chats on Getter Rumble and YouTube and during the 9am hour of American Sunrise. If you're selected, we'll deliver your hometown forecast live. So jump in, be a part of the fun and join us over on Weather Nation now. Joining us now to talk about today's forecast is Weather Nation's own Tracy Anthony. Good morning, Tracy. Lots of weather. I mean, right now in your world the weather gods are shining down on you. Plenty to talk about right now.
D
Yeah, we are extremely busy and really from coast to coast across the lower 48, even Hawaii and Alaska have also felt the major changes and the major pattern swings over the last couple of days. Brian, I wanted to show everyone a couple videos because it has just been so extreme. Green bay picking up 17 inches of snow just on Sunday. They added to that on Monday. You can see visibility just very low driving, very treacherous. So blizzard conditions and blizzard warnings were still in place yesterday. Now as this storm system moved across the Central and the southeast coast. You can see all that lightning there from satellite. We did have some strong and severe thunderstorms that did cause a lot of damage. We had wind reports really from the Central Plains all the way to the East Coast. We had a handful of days with tornado warnings and tornado reports. You can see the damage here. Now the National Weather Service will definitely be busy surveying the damage from those storms. But look at this. Yesterday, after the strong storms rolled on through, it's the cold air that pushed in these birds in Alabama dealing with some snow.
A
I've got a bird buddy at the house and I can tap into it and watch. And the birds have been enjoying this cold weather. Of course, they enjoyed the fresh seed I put out for them as well. But take a look at that. That's great. I didn't think birds are going to be in the forecast today, you know,
D
and that's just it. Sometimes we call it Feather Nation. It just kind of depends on what we get. But we had a lot of, you know, storms across the Southeast. Wanted to show you how many. We had over 2500 wind reports just in the 72 hours across the country. We also still have a good amount of heat reports that we're expecting throughout the day today across parts of the Southwest. So we will have the record heat out west. We're also going to have wrapping up blizzard conditions. So those are kind of some of the big headlines from coast to coast. Fire danger across the Central Plains and a cold morning for the Southeast. So behind this system it's the cold air, but the wind chill values is where you're really going to feel. We do have sub zero wind chill values across the Great Lakes, but look at Atlanta. That feel like temperature as you step outside is going to feel like 23 degrees. So very chilly all the way down to the Gulf coast here throughout the start of the day. So bundle up. The good news is it's not going to last too long because that heat is Going to build very quickly. But talking about the heat, Phoenix, 95 degrees throughout the day today. And we're actually on track to hit our flight first triple digit daytime high. So our earliest triple digit daytime highs. So Phoenix, you are under excessive or extreme heat warnings and heat advisories stretch all the way up the coast of California, all the way through the Bay Area. These heat advisories will be in place all week. So we're not going to see this pattern break down. But as mentioned, Phoenix, your earliest triple digit high temperature is March 26th and we're actually forecast tomorrow to get to 101 degrees. So Brian, this is where that heat is really playing a factor in the weather, you know. So look at this record highs all the way through Sunday in Phoenix. And those are triple digit high temperatures. So we're feeling like summer well before we typically do. So it's just very abnormal here really from coast to coast.
A
Yeah. My son's been in Europe for the last month and a half on a music tour. Now he's heading back to the West Coast. And I said, well, you better make sure that you, your AC works because you've got triple digits out there. Record heat, long, long duration too.
D
Yeah, it's going to stick around all week.
A
Yeah. Well, we appreciate that. Of course, one of our lucky hometown viewers will have their forecast and we'll see how. You know, I'm real curious real quickly, how do you select them? Do you just randomly, like put their name in a hat, you take it out and go, Chuck from, you know, Omaha, here's your forecast.
D
It's a good question. If I've seen them a few times and I haven't been able to get to those ones, those are the ones I'll pick. If it's relevant to the weather story, it's kind of even better because then I can show some video. But I do keep a list. So if you know, you drop your hometown and you don't see it that day. If we don't get a ton the next day, I do have a list. So I'll pull from that list.
A
Wonderful. Now we know it's been revealed right here, the secret. All right, Tracy, we'll see you back here in a little bit.
D
Sounds good.
A
All right, now to our top story. Day 18 of the war in Iran. The latest this morning, 13 U.S. troops now dead and about 200 wounded. President Trump tells PBS that he believes the war could end soon, while warning Iran's main oil export hub could be targeted if the fight continues. Let's bring in Michael Letts, he's a global security expert and U.S. army veteran. Michael, good morning. As this war drags on, what's the best likely scenario at this stage? And just give our viewers that might be a little confused on kind of the timeline of what's happening right now. I know probably you're asked quite frequently, how long is this going to last? I know. I'm asked that as well. So let's break it down for our viewers.
C
Well, sure, Brian, appreciate the opportunity and glad to do that. You know, let's start off about why did we go in now? Because, you know, you've got elections going on and of course, it's the two edges or Brian, things go extremely well. You have an extremely upside in November. Things go south. You have an extremely downside in November. So why now? And there are a lot of reasons for that. But one of the reasons was not just the fact that we're trying to maintain national security from a organization, from a country that has been a financier of terrorism for decades, but also this has a tremendous impact on the Chinese economy as well. And you know, China was making some real pushes to try to move and to manipulate our economic situation. So because of that fact, this was an opportune time. However, it's only an opportune time if we could make it a quick maneuver, that is five to six weeks. We are ahead of schedule. We expect that we'll be able to wrap this up probably by the end of this week to maybe the first part into next week. But hopefully within seven days or less, we should be able to finish our off operation. What, where is our operation at and what are the glitches? Well, of course, first of all, we wanted to make sure that we eliminated Iran's ability to have nuclear capability and threaten people. Done taking care of you said, I thought we did that a year ago. We did it a year ago. But China quickly came, stepped forward to Iran and said, hey, we'll replace what you're missing. We'll help you get back on track. This time they won't have the opportunity to do that. We are taking out Iran's nuclear capability, period. Second of all, we wanted to make sure that we protected the lives of America. And this is where you hear debate sometimes, Brian, about, I thought we were going to do America first and American priorities first. What are we doing in Iran? Well, this is America first, because when you take a look at the thousands of American soldiers who have died over the last few decades because of the terrorism that Iran has planned and sponsored this is the best ability and the best way to protect our citizens and our soldiers and to keep America safe. So, yes, it is because of America and that we're moving in. Now then what are some of the other things that we took a look at? Well, we just mentioned about China. You know, China gets its oil from Venezuela and from Iran. Well, you saw what happened to Venezuela a couple months ago. Kind of put a crank on China's ability to get their, their, their financing, their oil and to keep their economy propped up. Their economy is already suffering tremendously now with Iran being under threat in terms of reducing the amount of oil it will produce for China because we'll be helping direct some of that. It will have another tremendous impact on China. Remember, China is the one just a couple years ago was flexing the muscle. We're thinking about coming over to Taiwan. We're coming in and we have all kind of illegal immigrants in America. We've got bio labs in America, we've got police stations in America. We're going to kind of control what America does. You don't hear that very much lately now, do you? Because they're trying to figure out how to keep their own economy alive and keep their own people fed. So this was a great opportunity to accomplish that as well. And then of course, obviously all of that would cause a change in leadership. And this is one of the keys. The Israelis partnered with us. The Israelis went in, we decimated their leadership. I mean, there's splitter groups, but it was pretty much decimated. But the idea was, Brian, that if it was decimated, the citizens would rise up and the distance would come in and finish the job, for lack of a better word, and take their country back and determine what they're going to do in the future. Free elections, how are they going to operate, etc. To date, Brian, we are hearing rumblings, but we haven't actually seen that in full force yet. That's what's causing a play in the time. And of course, the longer it drags out, the more havoc these splitter groups can cause. You're seeing them, what they're trying to do now in the straight of Hormuz, trying to say, oh, we're going to block any, any ability for oil tickers to come through. Now we've got great responses. You know, it really is the responsibility of the countries that receive the oil. They need to send their military, navy and help escort those ships through. But there are still some details being worked out in that area. So they're still causing us some consternation. And that's why, you know, to the folks of Iran, I understood when it first started, president had made the comment, you know, you want your country back, help is on the way. And then of course they thought, well, that was about four or five weeks where help got on the way. Understand that there was a lot of pushback within the administration that, well, I don't know if we should go right now. Maybe we should go to negotiations, maybe we should wait. That caused a delay. And I'm sure the citizens of Iran thought, are we really going to come through? Well, I can tell you, this administration, when they say something, they do what they say. Now, they didn't necessarily tell you he was going to come, you know, within a day. He didn't give you time till when we were coming. But we're there now.
A
All right. Well, we're, we're at the end of this segment. Michael, I appreciate you weighing in on this topic and you have a fantastic rest of your day. Thank you.

That's a good looking shot right there. The White House Greatest house in the country right there. Welcome back America Sunrise Early Edition. I am Brian Glenn. Good to have you with us this morning on this Tuesday. But keep an eye on the White House, the markets and the latest out in the Middle East. You can join the conversation on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. Let's take a look at Wall street as we head towards the opening bell. The Dow closing up Monday gaining 387points at 46, 946. The Nasdaq also moving higher 1.2% to close at 22, 3 7. Meanwhile, a quick check on the energy markets this morning. Brent crude closing just over $100 a barrel. US crude ending the day around $94 as the new York Stock Exchange is set to open at 9:30 this morning. All right, from a market perspective, what are traders watching right now as we head towards the opening bell? Well, joining us now is global strategic advisor Michael Wilkerson, the founder of Stormwall Advisors. Michael, the Treasury, Scott Bessant. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen speaking overnight. Let's pause and listen and I'll get your thoughts. On the other side, we are seeing more and more the fuel ships start to go through. The Iranian ships have been getting out already and we've let that happen to supply the rest of the world. We've seen Indian ships go out now. So the Indians, who rely very heavily on Gulf oil, we believe some Chinese ships have gone out. So that, and that should start ramping up. All right, so Michael, what's really keeping these markets from sliding right now? Well, I think there still is a degree of optimism that this will end. I think the markets are in a more precarious and fragile position than they've been in a while. Importantly, Brian, I think what we're seeing is more persistent read through of these concerns into retail fuel prices. If you think about where we are today, gas prices are up some 27% over $3.70 on average. And diesel, and this is important, up some 37% now just under $5 on average at retail. Why does this matter? It matters because diesel, the trucks that are driven across the country, most of our food, 70% of it is carried on trucks across the country. So we're likely to see read through from diesel prices into higher food prices, higher food inflation. And what's interesting is the, the issue about diesel. It used to be cheaper than gasoline, now more expensive. We have to go back to 2020 and the lockdowns, the things that occurred during, during COVID during the pandemic, a lot of the US Refining capacity for diesel was shuttered and it hasn't been reopened. It's very difficult to do so. So I say that to say diesel prices are high and they're likely to continue to impact fuel and thus food prices going forward. Latest expectations now are that we're going to see CPI inflation return to above 3% this year, having just touched a touchdown at 2.4, 2.5% in the most recent month, likely to go back up again in the coming months. Okay, Michael, got about 30 seconds left. Real quickly, do these higher gas prices and oil prices necessarily translate to higher profits for some of these oil companies? A lot of the trading that's been going on in the oil markets has been by traders, speculators, whose business it is to win or lose fortunes in this industry. Usually though, you're absolutely right that over time higher prices translate into higher margins for the oil companies. They get well above their marginal cost of production. The rest of that becomes contribution to profit and you can expect to see the oil majors doing particularly well in the market in this environment. All right, Michael, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Weighing in on that. You have a great rest of the day. Thank you. You as well. All right, it's a busy morning.

Hey, welcome back. Not sure the last time that you were at Las Vegas, but I know one thing. Those buffets are no longer 9.99 folks. They're like 89.99 and 50 bucks to valet your car. Back in the day it was free. Welcome back. I am Brian Glenn. Glad you're joining us on this very busy morning. As always, we are following the latest developments across the country and around the world. You can join us on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. Now let's head to Capitol Hill where later this morning the Senate back in on the SAVE Act. Now Majority Leader John Thune missed Monday's session after a flight delay. Go figure. So that procedure vote is now to expect it today. Let's bring in political reporter Neil McCabe who joins us live on Capitol Hill. Neil, I think it's kind of ironic that Thune missed it because of a flight delay considering DHS and Homeland. I mean, you know TSA and air traffic controllers, those guys are all scrambling around. But nevertheless, we move forward. Big day today. Once you lay out the game plan for us.
E
Right? So what's going to happen is that the senate convenes at 10am where Thune is expected to take the floor and lay out a roadmap of how it's going to go with the Save America Act. Now they don't need a Super majority or 60 votes to take up the bill because it's A privileged motion because it has already passed the House. And so it just goes straight in. And with a simple majority, they can take up the bill. Once the Senate takes up the bill, they can do nothing else on the legislative calendar. They can do the executive calendar. So for instance, presidential appointments. So say they want to confirm Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from Oklahoma as the new Secretary of Homeland Security. They can switch lanes, do the executive calendar, go back to the legislative calendar. But once they're on this bill, they can't take another bill. So like for instance, Homeland Security, that budget, if they went to that, they'd have to stop Save. So what's going to happen is we drive on with the SAVE act and there are three off ramps. You either have 60 votes to close debate and then go to the floor. You can take up another bill, for example, Homeland Security, and that basically puts the Save act back in line. You have to take it up again. Or Thune could change the Senate rules, allow for a simple majority to end debate. Debate, which would end the so called filibuster. Right. Bring closure and then bring it to the floor. He does not have the votes right now, the 60 votes to end debate. And so he's got either, you know, he can't. He doesn't want to hand Trump a loss. So the thinking on the Hill now is that he may take up another bill like Homeland Security or something else, sort of push it to the side. He could go to the mattresses, right, and just put up the cots like in the old days and tell everybody, hey, nobody's going anywhere until we finish this bill.
A
Well, you mentioned this yesterday that you can't bring anything on the House floor other than water. And maybe there was one more.
E
You got to bring milk.
A
Milk.
E
Tobacco and water.
A
Tobacco and water. And maybe now a cot. Make sure it's maybe my pillow. Mattress topper, I don't know, make it real comfortable. Okay, so they've lost one. Senator Fetterman early on said he was for this. Now he says the way it looks right now, it's like a Christmas tree. It's got all this random stuff on it. One of them being no men and women's sports. No brainer. I don't know why it's in the sayback, but no brainer. And then no transgender surgeries on minors at all. Once again, don't have any idea why in this particular act, but it is something that overlooked, overwhelming, is supported. Why do you think John Fetterman has backpedaled on this?
E
Well, just like Joe Manchin, in the past, you know, Fetterman has realized that you can fiddle in the middle and play both sides against each other and for fun and profit. Right. It's, you know, it's a great place to be because you, you get stuff from Republicans, you get stuff from Democrats. In the end, though, Fetterman is a Democrat, and so he caucuses with the Democrats. His seniority, if the Democrats take over the Senate, his ability to be a chairman or whatnot is all with the Democrats. And you'll notice a lot of times Manchin made a lot of noise, but in the end ended up voting for the Democrats. So, I mean, he's basically fiddling in the middle.
A
Yeah. And one thing that I criticize a lot is Fox News will have Fetterman on once a week, Josh Shapiro and all these other Democrats. And they have elevated them to a status where they're now respected in a way. In a way. And they're no longer deemed, you know, defensive towards the, you know, they're normalizing them so that people in Pennsylvania view them as radicals anymore, and it just increases their likelihood of being reelected. It's one of the things I cannot stand in all of this. They pop Fetterman up as being this really negotiable guy, and he's seen things our way. But you just laid it out. At the end of the day, he's still a Democrat. He's still going to vote along party lines.
E
Right. You know, the key thing about the Save America act is that there's nothing in the Save America act that is unpopular, popular. Everything polls 75, 80, 90%, and certainly the provisions on transgenderism, especially for the youth and sports, that all polls at like 80, 90%. So it's. The Democrats are taking signal from the donor tower, not the voter tower. You're going to be their undoing.
A
You're right. And so, you know, as we move forward into midterms quickly, and I want to get your thoughts on this, how does the war and inflation weigh on the midterms? Are the voters going to look past this? Are we going to lower? Obviously, overall inflation has come down. President Trump has done a marvelous job of bringing that down. But the gasoline prices right now are high because of the war. How does that play in the midterm terms, do you think?
E
I think it's going to have to. Everything's going to be decided after Labor Day. You have, you have, you know, the 250th anniversary of this country. You have the World Cup. There's a lot going on between now and the election. You're also going to have the Republicans are going to host a midterm convention which should help them organize and get motivated. There's still a lot of stuff down the road right now. I haven't seen anything that says we're not going to finish this thing, this war in Iraq, Iran rather, in four weeks. The only thing I was promised, an uprising. I haven't seen an uprising. It may come. Remember, when you're, when you're in a bombing campaign, you can't expect people to be out on the streets.
A
I think President Trump said that in the Oval Office. He doesn't expect people to gather in the streets when there's snipers around to get them out. Neil, thank you so much for joining us. How can people follow you on the Hill for all the latest developments?

Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, freedom and the values that build this nation take center stage.
A
All right, welcome back on this Tuesday. Now you saw the promo for the Great Giveaway. I actually had my phone. I was trying to scan it because I want to win it. That is pretty cool. And of course real America's voice music has been phenomenal of sending these singles to the charts. So get involved with that, scan it, enter to win because that would be pretty cool. How many people could say they actually have a an album, Billboard album on your wall that you can put on there? That's pretty cool. But welcome back. Now we'll get back to the show America Sunrise. I'm Brian Glenn. Glad you're with us on this very busy morning. As always, we're following developments around the country and around the world. You can join us on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. But right now, let's head over to the Denver newsroom and get the very latest headlines with someone who I would imagine has several gold records to on his wall, Terrence Bates.
F
TERRENCE well, you know, I'm a former member of the Bee Gees. I was the unheard and unseen member of the Bee Gees. So I probably have some gold, gold records from that, Brian, at least in my mind, because I sing along with them as if I am part of the group when their music comes on. Good morning to you. Be a lot to talk about overnight. I'm sure you've probably heard this by now when we're working our sources to get even more information. Israel is concerned, confirming that it has killed one of the top security leaders in Iran, one of the top Iranian security leaders. Also, they're saying that they've killed the head of the Revolutionary Guards Volunteer Basij Force, which is kind of a paramilitary group that's part of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. So there are some developments overnight as it relates to the war in Iran. Again, we'll continue to monitor all of that for you and update you on that, particularly in the next hour on American Sunrise. But Brian, in the meantime, scammers and fraudsters, well, they may want to be beware because J.D. vance and the federal government, well, they're coming after you. On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order appointing Vice President Vance chairman of a new fraud task force. The White House points to social services scams in Minnesota that have already led to dozens of indictments and cost taxpayers billions of dollars. The president also says there's a strong reason to believe that similar vulnerabilities exist in California, Illinois, New York, Maine and Colorado.
E
This administration was fraudulent, okay?
A
And I think that's what you're going to find. And the kind of money we're talking about is just country changing.
C
It's country changing money.
E
It's having a deficit to have a
A
having a really profitable country where you can lower your taxes substantially for people. And I think that's I think you have an opportunity to do it. And I think you two guys are the right guy.
E
If you guys can't do it.
A
We've got a problem.
F
Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson is going to serve as the Vice President's vice chair in this particular effort. The task force is going to develop a comprehensive national strategy to curtail fraud that's impacting state and local housing, food, medical and financial assistance programs, among other duties. Brian, as I was listening to all of this yesterday and watching all of this play out, it makes a lot of sense to go after these fraudsters. Hopefully it will be kind of an extension, if you will, of doge and we'll be really protecting taxpayers dollars and making sure that the money that is going to these various agencies is specific specifically being used for that and that people aren't getting away with riches and enriching themselves on these agencies.
A
And I like the nickname that they have given Vice President J.D. vance on this, the Fraud Czar. I think he weighed in on that. President Trump likes Fraud Czar and I think the American people like it too. I'm looking forward to see how this turns out.
F
Exactly. I hope they're really able to realize some savings and catch these fraudsters in the act and not only prosecute them, but more importantly, keep the money back in the pockets of these agencies and the American people. All right, so look, the Commander in chief also making headlines this morning after overseeing the latest meeting of the Trump Kennedy Center Board. While the board officially voted to close operations at the facility for two years in order to renovate it, former president of the Board Rick Grinnell is now stepping away. And Matt Flocka, well, he was the Vice president of facilities and operations. He is now the CEO and Executive director of the center.
A
Previous management left us a facility in very bad condition, abysmal is the word.
E
And everything from busting pipes and leaks to serious electrical and structural problems.
A
And some of it we fixed, but most of it we're saving for during the construction period because we'll do a much better job of it that way.
F
The two year long construction project is going to begin after the America 250 celebration on July 4th. Brian, I haven't been to the Kennedy center in decades. I mean, it literally has been decades. Is it in that much of disrepair? Have you been recently? Fairly recently I have been.
A
Well, last year when they had kind of the inaugural events there and some red carpet events there, I had a chance to go and cover that and had a chance to kind of walk behind the scenes, if you will. I mean, I don't have a background in construction now, but one thing I really love about this, this is President Trump with his background in construction and real estate, he sees things. He sees the bones of the structure and he knows, Terence, exactly what it's going to take to bring it up to the first class status. So by them closing down and making it where they can completely do this construction and without any type of interruption of bringing performances in and things like that, I think it makes a lot of sense. They're closing down for two years. I really do.
F
And I want people, a lot of,
A
I know a lot of people weren't really up for that. They missed the performances. But, man, are we gonna have a fantastic facility when they open this thing back up?
F
Absolutely. And President Trump already saying he's gonna do it on time and on budget. You know, the federal government, anything that's on time and on budget is pretty rare. So President Trump, good luck to you on that one.
A
Right? Yeah. Well, he'll do it. He'll do it. I mean, previous administrations, they might still be building the train like, like Gavin News on the train to nowhere in California, going, building. That's not the case with this facility. I feel like he's going to come in on time, under budget.
F
Absolutely. I'm definitely looking forward to that. And Brian, finally, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. S changes to the childhood vaccine schedule are on hold this morning after a federal judge ruled that like, that they likely violated federal procedures. Back in January, Kennedy ordered an end to broad recommendations for all children to be inoculated against things like flu, rotavirus, meningitis and rsv, among many other sicknesses. The medical community, as typical, especially the American Academy of Pediatrics, revolted. That led to lawsuits asking judges to stop Kennedy from scaling back the nation's childhood vaccination schedule. Monday's ruling specifically focuses on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which basically oversees public health issues related to vaccines and recommendations to doctors and patients. At issue is that Kennedy fired the entire 17 member panel last year and then replaced it with advisors that he trusts, including several anti vaxxers. The judge ruled the firings and subsequent newly formed group likely violated federal law. Thus the new immunization rules are on ice. The Department of Health and Human Services says that it is going to challenge this latest decision and looks forward to the ruling being overturned. Just another example, Brian, of the administration being caught up in various civil matters and in court as they're trying to move their agenda forward. It seems like they move two steps forward but three steps back, simply given these various court rulings.
A
Yeah, I know it was very popular of what he did in terms of these vaccines and the regulatories and what was required and what they were administrating. But if you look at, from a legal standpoint, he probably didn't do it the right way. And I don't. I, you know, I guess that's when it comes down to it, that's what the court found. But as far as a public court of opinion, he's doing exactly what the people want. I mean, if you look at the amount of shots, vaccines that a newborn baby gets compared to what it. What it used to be, I mean, it's amazing. It's incredible the amount of vaccines that are given to a newborn. And a lot of, you know, a lot of people speculate that's a little bit too many vaccines for these young babies, but we'll see how this plays out. But, you know, it doesn't surprise me that the pushback that we're getting Terrence, on all of this comes from the judicial system. The courts are pushing back on this stuff.
F
Yeah, and the courts seem to be the Achilles heel to the administration. The lawyers are definitely getting their money's worth because they're in court almost every other week. It seems like fighting back or pushing back against some sort of challenge to the policies. And as it relates to these vaccines, the issue here, for me at least, and for many, is that all the ruling from the Department of Health and Human Services says is that there is a limit of required vaccines. If you're a parent and you want to get your kid inoculated against whatever it is, you still have the right. Those vaccines are still available to you. The required list is simply much smaller than it had been. And as a person, and again, not to make this about me, Brian, but as a person who doesn't like to take medicine as an adult, why would I, would I doctor my kid up with all these different substances when they haven't even built an immunity? Just my two cents. Doesn't make sense.
A
No, it's.
B
You're.
A
You're speaking common sense, and I know there'll be a lot of anti. You know, there'll be. Look, there's a lot of. Lot of opinions on this. I'm with you on this. I. I don't want all this stuff given to a newborn baby. Look, I have a hard time taking vitamins. I have a hard time taking medicine. I just really do. And so I look at what we're giving these kids, and some of it doesn't make sense, but he is Doing amazing things with, as far as, I can't think of another administration, Terrence, but we spent that much effort on trying to create a healthy America, of getting our food cleaned up, getting the chemicals out of our food. I can't think of another president that has brought that so much effort in doing this.
F
No, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Definitely has changed the paradigm as when it comes to how we look at public health, I mean, making America healthy again truly has not just been kind of a catchphrase. He's embodied that and has really taken some concrete steps to ensure that our food sources are healthier, to ensure that in general as a public, our society is a lot healthier. And kudos to him for doing that. That's one of those issues that's not a party specific issue. That's an issue that resonates with Democrats, Republicans. And he can get some of those, some of those, those moms to the table because I can say, tell you for one, my wife, she hears that kind of stuff and she is all on board. Taking out food coloring out of drinks. Oh, you had her right there.
A
Yep. And shout out to people like Steak and Shake that have committed to like beef tallow for their, their, for their fries. And I think this has pushed corporate America to be healthier. And that's always a good thing. Terrence, thank you so much for joining.
F
Steak and Shake fries. Brian, Come on. Steak shoestring fries. You know, a chubby guy like me, I need a big old fat crinkle cut fry. Not, not those little Steak and Shake shoestring fries.
A
You just got like a cookie buncher. You just eat as quick as you can. Well, we'll, we'll talk to you a little bit later. Thank you.

A
All right, welcome back, American Sunrise. That is a live look right now at Dublin, Ireland. A lot of people gathered in the street outside the pubs having perhaps a cold one, perhaps some green beer. I don't know. Welcome back, America Sunrise. I am Brian Glenn. Let's bring in a host that I don't know if he drinks green beer. Maybe he does. I don't know. David Brody, maybe that's an appropriate first question for you on this St. Patty's Day. It is green beer kind of guy. No, It's a great question. No, you know, I gave up the beer, kind of did the college thing, woke up in the morning, wasn't quite sure what I did the night before.
E
And after that, that's pretty much the
A
end of my beer drinking experience. Now, having said that, I have been to that right there in Dublin, that intersection that you just showed. I've been there. Can we pull that back up real quick. Can we pull that back up? Can we do that? Go ahead, walk me through it, David. What a memory. Actually, we actually had fish and chips right there at the Dublin. Right there, you see it says the temple. I can't read what that says there. Temple something. But that's where we were. So I was there. I wasn't drunk at the time. And I can confirm, though, there'll be a lot of drunk people those streets right there. I'm going 60% are drunk now and 98%, and that's probably low. We'll be drunk later on tonight. Well, you got the Tiso of Ireland at the White House today. Ironically, he's not in that country. He's in our country. He'll be meeting with President Trump a little bit later today. Okay, we'll get onto some serious news real quickly. Got about a minute and a half left. Big win for the US Taking out a top Iranian official. This guy was pure terror.
E
Yeah.
A
The head of the Iran security team, if you will. I mean, he's the security chiefs. Let me get this straight. He didn't do a good job protecting himself. We'll just kind of leave it at that. He's dead. He'll be in hell, by the way, FYI. So there's that. And then the head of the besieged as well, one of the parliamentary, you know, the parliamentary militias, if you will, the besieges all over Iran, that's. They kind of get into the civilians there, the population. He's gone as well. So this is a big deal. In essence. The guy they took out was the number two guy after Khamenei. With all due respect. Not really. I just kid. You kid around with. What's his name? Mashtaba Khamenei, who apparently is gay, which is another thing, by the way. Who's going to kill him first? The United States and Israel or his own people anyhow, or their own regime. I had, when I read that line, I had, I'm like, what? I had to reread it twice insane. All right, David Brody, we'll see in about five minutes on the other side. Thank you so much for joining us. And happy Patty's Day, my friend. You, too. Thanks, Brian. All right, well, thanks for joining us. We'll be back here tomorrow at 7am don't forget to follow me on Instagram and twitter @Brian GlennTV. Until next time. Goodbye. God bless.
