Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Iran War & Potential U.S. Ground Troop Deployment

(Segment: 06:10 – 13:50)

• Escalation Update:
  Brian Glenn updates on day 20 of the Iran conflict, raising reports that the Trump administration is considering sending U.S. ground troops to the region, a shift from earlier promises of avoiding “boots on the ground.”

• Analyst Insight:
  Guest geopolitical analyst Brandon Weikart (Senior Editor, 1945.com) provides a sobering military analysis:

  • The president is moving an additional Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) possibly targeting Iran’s strategic Carg Island.
  • The overall U.S. expeditionary force is limited and would face formidable Iranian defenses, including "88,000 Shahed-style drones," likening the situation to “Trump’s Gallipoli.”
  • Risks of escalation: The lack of sufficient ground troops could pressure for troop increases, potentially echoing Vietnam’s escalation pattern.
  • Discussion of potential Israeli use of nuclear weapons if they grow desperate, kept in check only temporarily by U.S. involvement.

  Quote:

  "This could end up being Trump’s Gallipoli... it ended in disaster for the British. This could be the same thing."
  — Brandon Weikart (07:52)

  "We're inching toward the possibility [of a nuclear strike by Israel], but it's not probable yet... That nuclear Damocles sword hangs over our heads."
  — Brandon Weikart (09:37)

• Financial Consequences:
  U.S. war with Iran and continued conflict in Ukraine-Russia are costing hundreds of billions—money that could address domestic programs like Social Security and healthcare.

  Quote:

  "For those cheering these wars on at home... this could financially affect them in as little as five to eight years from now."
  — Brian Glenn (12:30)

---

2. Market & Economic Turbulence Amid War

(Segment: 16:00 – 20:45)

• Wall Street Update:
  Markets are down significantly; Dow Jones is off 203 points, oil prices spiking with Brent crude peaking at $119 per barrel, and U.S. crude above $100.

• Expert Analysis:
  Analyst Seth Denson explains that the immediate market reaction is institutional investors pulling out due to uncertainty.

  • Price increases in oil and diesel impacting both consumers and industries (esp. transportation, ranchers, farmers).
  • Inflation concerns return as oil, "in everything," is in shorter supply.
  • Treasury bills (T-bills) seen as safer amid volatility, but high yields reflect government borrowing and uncertainty.
  • Oil prices rise rapidly (“like an elevator”) and fall slowly (“like an escalator”), meaning higher prices and inflation will stick around.

  Quote:

  “For Main Street, we were already dealing with transitory inflation that never transitioned… Oil is in everything. When 20% of it is shut off, that's a concern.”
  — Seth Denson (17:33)

---

3. The SAVE Act, Voter ID, and Political Theater on Capitol Hill

(Segment: 23:08 – 30:12)

• Senate Debate:
  Neil McCabe reports live from D.C., focusing on Democratic and Republican stances:

  • Senate Democrats not outright opposing voter ID but resistant to documentation requirements in the SAVE Act.
  • Senate Republicans attempted to strip the bill to just a voter ID provision, but Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley objected, blocking unanimous consent.
  • Homeland Security funding discussions could sideline the SAVE Act, signaling a shift from legislative action to political messaging.

  Quote:

  “It did expose a weakness… Democrats could not effectively argue against voter ID.”
  — Neil McCabe (24:38)

  “A lot of this stuff in Washington is Kabuki theater. It's all about messaging to the base…”
  — Brian Glenn (26:21)

• Party Dynamics:
  Discusses the tension within the GOP: politicians who come to restrain federal power often get “taken in by Washington,” contrasting MAGA-aligned members who “sleep in their offices.”

  Quote:

  “People who move their families here, they're lost... there is the private lie and the public truth. That's always what I'm trying to expose as a reporter.”
  — Neil McCabe (29:16)

---

4. Cultural Commentary & Event Previews

(Segments throughout, e.g., 14:20, 31:17, 34:43, 35:38, 40:41)

• CPAC 2026 in Dallas Previewed:
  The show plugs CPAC as a major event in conservative politics, promising panels, performances (“Rob Schneider and Alex Stein bring the laughs”), and coverage.

  “The only way we don't have victory is if we surrender.”
  — Steve Bannon (14:42, 31:37)

• Music Industry News:
  Emily Fenn reports on Bruce Springsteen facing backlash over exorbitant ticket prices, criticized for hypocrisy given his working-class image, and contrasts with Kid Rock’s fan-friendly pricing.

  • Hosts share personal anecdotes about the rising cost of live music and calls for reform.

  Quote:

  “They claim they relate with you... when they're not. Some of these artists are very affluent. They look down upon their actual base.”
  — Brian Glenn (35:38)

---

5. White House & Congressional Races / Political Landscape

(Segment: 40:41 – 43:50)

• Election Watch:
  Heated Democratic Senate primary in Michigan underscores rifts between moderates and progressives.

  • Glenn cites Texas races: Ken Paxton vs. John Cornyn as a MAGA vs. establishment proxy.
  • Concerns over “waste, fraud and abuse” remain major voter issues.
  • Anxiety about the possibility of losing the Senate and facing successive impeachments if Democrats reclaim both chambers.

• Republican Prospects & War’s Impact:
  Both Glenn and Fenn agree unity is critical for the GOP.

  • There is internal division among Republicans regarding the war.
  • The economic aftermath of the conflict will heavily influence the midterms.

  Quote:

  “If Americans are feeling the effects of this war into late summer, early fall, we could be in trouble... but I hope that's not the case.”
  — Brian Glenn (42:20)

---

6. Memorable Moments & Closing Reflections

(Segment: 47:06 – 51:05)

• Trump Era Reflections:
  David Brody shares personal anecdotes and interviews with Trump, reminiscing about the “escalator moment” and how Trump’s presence reshaped American politics.

  Quote:

  “Right from the get go, he was loving ‘crowd size’... He calls me after a Morning Joe appearance and says, ‘That's bad for Trump.’ He is one of a kind.”
  — David Brody (48:16–50:41)

• Program Transition:
  The show bids farewell to American Sunrise Early Edition, with Brian Glenn expressing gratitude to the team and audience before the slot goes to the Steve Gruber Show.

Joining us from from Weather Nation rather is Tracy Anthony. Tracy, good morning to you. It's Friday. It's always a great day if it's Friday, right. I'm not sure if this is your official kickoff for the weekend, but for many it is.

[Tracy Anthony]

It is Friday. That's what you call it.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah. Is a forecast always sunny on a Friday?

[Tracy Anthony]

Always. You just have to find the city where the sun's out.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, that's true too.

[Tracy Anthony]

So what are we looking at today across the country? Yeah. With the sun out, we are going to be dealing with that extreme heat once again across the Southwest. So we've been talking about that throughout the entire week. That high pressure center is scooting into the Central Plains. So we're talking more records. We had over 200 cities break record high temperatures just yesterday and early yesterday when we considered the week 480 record heat temperatures broken for the entire week. So very impressive. This is very abnormal. We definitely feel more like summer. So we're staying dry, we're staying warm. But we do have a couple systems that are going to roll across the Great Lakes. Now these two systems do spark off the threat for severe storms. So this is new from yesterday. We do have a marginal risk for some strong storms across the mid Ohio Valley. And and then on Sunday we're going to have another system that's going to roll on through that's going to spark an elevated threat for strong to severe thunderstorms. And it's some of the areas that were hit pretty hard just last weekend. So very important to stay weather aware over the weekend. You're going to want to make sure you have the Weather Nation app at your fingertips. That's going to be your best bet. But look at this. We're talking more heat records through the weekend, but we do have a big cool down in the forecast for some. So as we get into early next week, we are going to have another plunge of arctic air. So Brian, we've been talking about it the last few weeks. We really ran into March just kind of full speed ahead when it comes to weather whiplash. And today is actually officially the start of astronomical spring.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, it is. It's interesting how that starts. And of course I saw the other day about there's a moon cycle that's very unique during this time of year. I've forgotten the name of it. But March is just one of those transitional months, I guess you could say.

[Tracy Anthony]

Yep. More daylight, though. That's the good thing.

[Brian Glenn]

That is a good thing. Hey, thank you so much. And as and I told you off air, thank you for waking up early, enjoying this show and being a part of our broadcast.

[Tracy Anthony]

I love it.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, I love it, too. And we're gonna gonna see you on the 9 o' clock hour for a lucky hometown forecast. Cool.

[Tracy Anthony]

We'll see you then.

[Brian Glenn]

We'll see you then. All right. Let's turn to our top story right now. And that's the Iran war. It's on day 20. And this morning there are reports that the Trump administration is considering ground troops. Let's bring in geopolitical analyst Brandon weikart, senior editor of 1945.com. Brandon, good morning. It's good to see you. Now, when you and I started this conversation, I don't know, 20 days ago, maybe even more, because building up to the official star of the War, we thought this would take maybe a week or so. But not many thought that you said differently. This is going to go far, well into several weeks. You were right. What's the very latest in everything? I know the Straight of Hermouse is trying to be secure to get that oil through there, but what's the very latest?

[Brandon Weikart]

The president is MO and good morning. Thank you for having me. Again. The president is moving another Marine Expeditionary Unit, an MEU into the region. It is my contention that the president does intend to launch a ground attack, however limited, against the coastline of Iran or targeting Carg island, which is that really important oil production facility that's just off the coast of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. The problem is though, the, the, the forces they're sending the Marine Expeditionary Unit, yes. That they, they have a lot of capabilities. But I don't believe two Marine Expeditionary Units, which is about ground force wise, about 2,400 guys plus a lot of armor. They keep saying 5,000 marines, but, but it's actually, it's a combination of Marines and sailors. Not all of those guys land on the target. They stay on the ships, run the ships. Then about, then about 1200 from each meu will go ashore with armor, vehicles and they'll with, you know, heavy weapons. The question that I have is how, how are they going to hold the island? Because these are hardened targets. Furthermore, the Iranians have a kill Box set up for the Marines with 88,000 drones, Shahed style drones. So this could end up being Trump's Gallipoli from, you know, the famous Churchill blunder in World War I against Turkey when they tried to open the Turkish Straits and it ended in a disaster for the British. This could be the same thing.

[Brian Glenn]

You know, it's interesting to think that we had the conversation of no boots on the ground. This was going to be an aerial strike. We did take out a lot of spots in Iran. We sent their entire navy fleet. But now, and as just laid out now, this is real lives on the ground, on a foreign soil, which I know we've had some there before in this war. Just off the record, we probably have had some. This puts real lives in danger and as you said, this puts them in a big target. Now, how concerned should we be that this could escalate? And Brandon, you've laid it out. If Israel gets desperate, they could turn to the nuclear option on Iran. I just read a report this morning that that was a possibility given some of the circumstances. So you lay that out. What is there? What's the realistic probability of. Well, I, Yeah, them using a nuclear weapon.

[Brandon Weikart]

I think that it is, it is no longer an impossibility. I think it's a pot. It's a possibility now. I don't think it's probable yet. I do think that we are inching our way toward that prospect. And I think what's, what might hold them off is if the Americans land ground forces. So we've been told from the very beginning of this war by Marco Rubio. The President has said it repeatedly. Joe Kent, the recent National Counterterrorism center director who resigned in protest over the war, said it in his resignation letter. The UK Foreign minister said it. Basically, we started this war because we were worried the Israels were going to go and attack no matter what, which would have blowback for us. So we decided to try to control the situation by launching the attack first. It sounds to me like the Israelis have assessed that the, the only way that the Americans could possibly win this war is if they land ground troops. If America, and they were saying they weren't sure if the Americans were going to do it and if the Americans didn't do it, then we start skirting into the Israelis might pop off a nuke as things continue to collapse for them. Now Trump is talking about landing US Troops on the ground. So that buys us a little bit more time before we go into that, that desperate scenario. The problem is when we don't have enough troops. This is not enough forces. And so what I fear is going to happen is we'll will, will throw the punch, land those troops. Those guys are going to have a lot of problems. And then all of a sudden, Trump's going to go to the American people and say, we need more troops, we need more troops. And it'll become like a spasmodic Vietnam where we started with a little bit and we're growing into a lot and there's no end game. And all the meanwhile, the nuclear Damocles sword hangs over our head because the Israelis are not going to just drop this thing. They're not going to wait. They're not going to let Trump end it when he wants. And neither are the Iranians, by the way. Neither the Iranians nor the Israelis are going to want this war to end just yet.

[Brian Glenn]

And you know what? This war to begin with is highly debatable. A lot of our viewers, majority of them, if you're over the age of probably 60, are all for this war, because that's their mindset. That's just what it is. That's what the demos tell us. Younger people avidly against this war. You look at this real quickly. We got about two minutes left. We've pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into a war with Ukraine and Russia. We fought, we're fighting Russia on behalf of Ukraine, essentially. And now we've pushed. What. What's the total you got for this conflict?

[Brandon Weikart]

They're asking for, I think, $200 billion supplemental, because.

[Brian Glenn]

$200 billion. Now, I want our viewers to understand this. Between these two wars, we could have solved so many problems with funding health care, Social Security, which, by the way, if you're watching this right now and you plan on having Social Security, it's not going to happen. It's being dissolved by 2022. I'm sorry, 2032, 2033. So even seniors right now watching this, your Social Security benefits could get cut dramatically because of these wars. So for those that are cheering the wars on at home, Brandon, they need to be aware that this could financially affect them in a little as five to eight years from now.

[Brandon Weikart]

Yeah, I don't think people, the people supporting this war care. I don't think they fully comprehend it. And I think there's a real argument to be made. Look. That we put the 2003 Iraq war on the national credit card. There. There is. I think it was Robert Shiller, the economist, wrote a book in 2009 analyzing how by putting that war so much on the national credit card, it actually led to the Great Recession of 08. And if you look at what's going on right now, we're putting all this on the national credit card to fight Iran. The war is nowhere near over. It's going to be months, if not years of this thing. And by the way, already the oil prices are going into catastrophic levels for ordinary Americans. So this could lead to a Great Depression in another three to five months.

[Steve Bannon]

It could.

[Brian Glenn]

And so we get criticized speaking out against this war. And now that we're in it, we want to win it. We support President Trump. We love our. We love this country. But there is a price to pay for this financially. Brandon, thank you so much. Thank you this morning.

[Brandon Weikart]

See you later.

[Brian Glenn]

[Brian Glenn]

You can call me names all your lives, but I know who I am and I know mine. Good looking shot. Welcome back America's Sunrise EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. Great to have you with us. We'll keep an eye on the White House, the markets and everything developing in the Middle east this morning. As always, join us online getter, YouTube and rumble. Let's take a look at Wall street as we head towards the opening bell. The Dow Jones down 203 points to close at 46021. The Nasdaq also in the red down 61 points, closing at 22090. And Brent crude is very volatile, closing near $109 a barrel. That's after spiking as high as 119. U.S. crude selling around $96 after briefly touching 100. We're watching as the markets open at around 9:30 this morning. So let's bring in business and market analyst Seth Denson. Seth, welcome back. So if you from the oil markets to mortgage rates to gas prices, things are a little volatile right now. It's got investors leery of the future.

[Seth Denson]

Not a good week, Brian. Not a good week. Matter of fact, not a good 21 days if you're in the market. Now I've often been told throughout my career that the money is really made when the market is down. And so there is opportunity out there for those that had cash on the sides. What we saw early on in the early days of the conflict was people pulling money out of the markets and supply institutional investors to set it on the sideline to determine what to do with it next. It's uncertainty. It's not really understanding what to do with it next. And the problem is it's very easy in my world to talk about Wall street, but how does this really impact Main Street? And for Main street, we were already dealing with transitory inflation that never really transitioned. I felt like the president had that under control and was doing the right things to start to get that where it needed to be. But unfortunately, if we look at this this week, in the last 21 days, price of the pump is up. The president had gotten that under control. It's not the concerns over long term inflation are back up, both tariffs and straight up Hormuz. By the way, oil is in everything. When 20% of it's shut off, that's a concern. Mortgage rates, they follow the 10 year Treasury 10 year treasury is up around 4.3. That's the highest rate it's been in a bit. And now mortgages are at a three month high. So a lot of turmoil in the markets right now and a lot of concern and uncertainty over what's to come.

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, when you look at the price of diesel, and that's one of the questions I get asked all the time is why is diesel so much more expensive than regular gas? And of course diesel affects truckers that have to put on a surcharge on just about every transport they have. That's a big, that weighs a lot on consumer prices.

[Seth Denson]

Yeah, diesel up about five, five dollars a gallon in Texas, where I am, Brian, here in Texas. And by the way, not just truckers, I mean ranchers, farmers, working men and women across the country have to drive diesel vehicles and that plays a role. It's interesting. I mean, you're from Texas, I'm from Texas. Diesel is actually the cheapest thing to refine. The problem is everybody needs it, you need it to truck it. So this is price and supply and demand and that's a long term concern. So this all hinges on how long this conflict lasts. If the President is right and this is a very short term thing, not a long term thing, we'll get back in the swing of things soon. Here's the problem. Oil prices specifically, they go up like an elevator and down like an escalator. It's going to take them time to come back down and what we are going to feel in the overall inflationary impact is going to last for a bit.

[Brian Glenn]

Let me ask a question, I don't know if you have the answer right now, but T bills, three months, six months, treasury bills, is that, is that attractive to you right now?

[Seth Denson]

They're definitely more stable. There's some tax advantages into it and I think that we'll see the market swing towards it. We're seeing Treasuries and guaranteed returns in a time of conflict be a place where people kind of go and hold their money. I would like to see the interest rates come down or I'm sorry, the yields come down on the long term Treasuries. But I think the uncertainty of the market and whether or not the federal government's going to continue to borrow against that credit card you were talking about, that's keeping those yields high.

[Brian Glenn]

I think our friends on the Getter chat need to understand the financial aspects of what's going on right now. I hope they're listening and they take warning on that. Seth, thank you so much for weighing in on the show. It's been a pleasure. Appreciate it.

[Seth Denson]

Good to see you, Brian.

[David Brody]

All right.

[Brian Glenn]

Good to see you. All right, think about this. In 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at spot prices. And today's prices, those 33 ounces would be worth about $165,000. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. And that's why you need to consider buying gold from our friends at the Birch Gold Group. Now, for thousands of years, gold has been a store of wealth and today it's a crucial part of any balance strategy. Even better, Burch gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered retirement account in gold. Just text America to the number 989-898 to receive your free information kit. There's no obligation, just useful information with a plus from the Better Business bureau and tens of thousands of happy couple customers. Let the Birch fill group help you diversify with gold. That's a peace of mind. Text America to 989898. That is America to 989898. All right, coming up live from Capitol hill, I'm Neil McCabe speaking with Democrat senators on the Save American act and what they're telling him and what it means for the debate coming up next. As you're on a Friday edition of American Sunrise. Early edition continues after the break.

Ever wonder how to make hosting look effortless? Here's a secret. When prepping for cooking and baking, get ahead of the mess with new Reynolds Kitchens countertop prep paper. Just lightly wet the counter so the paper grips. Lay it down and drips and spills stay on the paper, not on your counter. Cleanup is as simple as lifting it away to reveal clean counters. Effortless it is thanks to Reynolds Kitchen's countertop prep paper. Wet it, set it, prep it, done. Available in the Reynolds wrap aisle at Walmart.

[Brian Glenn]

All right, welcome back. Just a live look at the Washington Monument. Beautiful day there, by the way. I'll be at the White House all day next week bringing you full coverage from there. Meanwhile, a RAB will be in Dallas for CPAC 2026. All right, welcome back. You can join us on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. We're following developments out of the White House, the Marcus and on Capitol Hill where Neil McCabe has been speaking directly with Democrat senators, getting a sense of where they stand right now. Neil joins us from D.C. what are you hearing this morning? And better yet, what did you hear last night?

[Neil McCabe]

Well, Yesterday afternoon, as he got off the Senate floor, I talked to Dick Durbin, who's the Democratic whip, so the number two to Schumer. And I asked Durbin, hey, Schumer said Democrats are not opposed to voter id. He says, we're not and we support real ID for voting. The problem is that in the SAVE act, you have to produce like a passport and a birth certificate. But you know, that's sort of the lie. The lie is when you first register to vote at your town or city or precinct, you have to produce your citizenship right to get on the roll. And then after that, all subsequent voting events, you just show your, your real id, whether your license or whatever. So it did expose a weakness that the Democrats have been trying to go up against voter ID for like 10 years. And frankly, the, the mail in ballots, which are not the same as absentee ballots, like absentee. When I filed an absentee ballot, you know, I had to go to the clerk and I, you know, I just, you know, it's, it's a big deal, a mail in ballot. There's no verification on that. And so moving forward to last night, Senate Republicans saw the opening with that Democrats could not effectively argue against voter id. And John Houston, Houston, who's the senator from Ohio who replaced J.D. vance, he said, hey, let's just do a clean bill. And he asked for unanimous consent, which is called uc. And so he asked for uc, he says, let's just do a voter ID bill. Forget all the other things in the Save America act, let's just get the voter ID done. And Jeff Merkley from Oregon Democrat, he objected. So one objection, you don't get unanimous consent. And so there it is. So today the SAVE act is still on the floor. But if Homeland Thune is going to bring up the Homeland Security funding, if they vote to take up Homeland Security funding, that pushes the Save America act off the floor. They could bring it back, obviously with a simple majority. But it does show that maybe we've moved away from legislation to just pure messaging. Brian?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, that's exactly. It's Kabuki theater. In other words, a lot of this stuff in Washington is Kabuki theater. It's all about messaging to the base that they're trying to do all these great things, but in fact, they never had any intention of passing it now. So if you look at the filibuster, and that has been a great debate here, that if we just did the filibuster, we got rid of it, we can get the Save America act passed right you would think, you would hope, and we'd be able to do all these great things that President Trump has done from an executive order standpoint. These things need to be codified into law. And, Neil, you know this. If these things aren't codified into law, and God forbid a Democrat takes over Congress, the Senate, the White House, it's all reversed. That's how important it is right now.

[Neil McCabe]

Democrats, you know, put through the Obamacare, and it's the law of the land 16 years later.

[Brian Glenn]

Yep.

[Neil McCabe]

And I was told to my face, right, we are going. The Republicans told me, we are going to rip out Obamacare root and branch. We just need the House. And then they got the House. They said, we need the House and the Senate. So they got the House and the Senate. Then they said, we need the House, the Senate and the White House. They got all three in Trump's first term. And literally, it was the Republicans who kneecapped any kind of effort to reform or replace or do something with Obamacare. And so this is the. This is the tension in the Republican Party. People who are sent to Washington to rein in Washington, to pull it back, to defund it, take control away from Washington, give it back to the states and the people. But when these Republicans get to D.C. you know, they enjoy the dinners they, you know, their wife gets, as I said, you know, the wife becomes a lobbyist for an airline, and then they have to get their kids into Sidwell Friends and Georgetown Prep. And the agenda they were elected to achieve goes by the wayside.

[Brian Glenn]

It does. And this is the gospel for those that watching us right now. You'll have someone get elected in a state like Florida and then just move their entire family to D.C. and you go, wait a minute, you need to have some roots down in your district so you can go talk to the people and find out their concerns. But they sell off to the lobbyists, the consulting class, the commentator class, they sell it all off for there. And they're told, right, yeah.

[Neil McCabe]

I'll say this to be fair. There's at least 100 House Republicans who sleep in their offices because they refuse to move their families to Washington. And they are your hardcore. That's your maga.

[Brian Glenn]

That's.

[Neil McCabe]

Those are your conservatives.

[Brian Glenn]

Well, you know what, Matthew?

[Neil McCabe]

People who move their families here, they're lost in a trailer.

[Brian Glenn]

He slept in a trailer. A mobile home, an rv, I should say.

[Neil McCabe]

Yeah. So this is the tension, and this is where you have, like, you have, you know, sort of the private lie and the public. Or the public lie and the private truth. And that's, you know, that's always what I'm trying to expose as a reporter, to sort of do that, to, to sort of manage that intersection. But having said that, they could, they could very easily move back to the SAVE act if the, if the vote to take up Homeland Security funding fails, then SAVE act, Save America act is still on the floor and there's still plans to do amendments, add what President Trump wants to add. But the fact of the matter is that there is political pressure on Democrats to do something on voter id. It's just Senate Republicans need to stick the landing. Yep.

[Brian Glenn]

They need to stick the landing. Taking a phrase out of the Olympics. Neal, always good to see you. We'll see you back in on Capitol Hill soon. Thank you. All right. It's a busy morning.

[Steve Bannon]

American Sunrise Early Edition on Real America's Voice starts now.

[Brian Glenn]

All right, welcome back to America's Sunrise Early Edition. As a programming note, I talked about this at the top of the show. Today is the last day for the early edition of American Sunrise. This show goes away. We bring in the Steve Gruber Show. Steve and Ivy Gruber that you've known over the years will be in this time slot. So it was my pleasure to be able to fill in temporarily and get this show continued. But now it's time to turn over a new leaf in this time slot to Steve Gruber and we wish him all the best. We're glad you're with us this morning. It's a very busy morning. There's a lot to get to. You can also follow us on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. We're now joined by Emily Fenn joining us in the West Palm newsroom.

[Emily Fenn]

Emily, hey, good morning. Good morning to you, Brian. Excited to be here with you. Right before we turn over the new leaf, I do have some some top stories, some top headlines to share. So Bruce Springsteen is facing some backlash from fans over high ticket prices for his new Land of Hope and Dreams tour. It features some political messaging that some say slightly slams President Trump. Some tickets are reportedly costing thousands of dollars, sparking criticism from fans who say the prices clash with his working class image. Some critics also argue the costs undercut the tour's message with many saying average supporters are being priced out. Brian, I know that you are a music fan, as am I. I want to know what your thoughts on these ticket prices are. I think back there's a clip of Kurt Cobain from Nirvana talking about how he's so shocked by like $200 ticket prices and now we have this. I mean, this is just kind of crazy.

[Brian Glenn]

It is kind of crazy. Well, this is what the left does. They, they claim they're, they can relate with you. They claim that they're everyday hardworking people when they're not. Some of these artists, as you well know, are very affluent. They have, they look down upon their actual base. Now if you look at Kid Rock, Kid Rock has purposely priced his tickets and he's made sure that the secondary ticket map ticket scalpers don't get a hold of those concert and those festival tickets and then are able to sell them at a higher rate. So you've got the tale of two artists. Bruce Springsteen, he doesn't care. He doesn't care. Kid Rock very much cares about his bass. So I think this is very typical for left leaning musician.

[Emily Fenn]

Yeah, I think you're absolutely right, Brian. You know, I do have to give a quick shout out to Youngblood here. He has a festival every summer. This year it's going to be different in a different part of Europe, but it started in the UK and the whole point is to have affordable ticket prices for all of his fans. And so I will say the younger generations are really flocking towards artists that are like that. So Bruce Springsteen needs to be taking something out of the right wing and Youngblood playbook on this. All right, you know what's funny? Oh, go ahead, Brian.

[Brian Glenn]

No, I was going to say it's too funny for some of our viewers that might be around my, my age. I remember having to go to a Sears, like upstairs in a Sears department and get a, buy a ticket from Ticketmaster that was like $8 and there was like maybe a dollar service fee. Now if you take a look at what the service fees on these secondary tickets, even Ticketmaster, way more than a dollar. So I'm kind of dating myself. But ticket prices absolutely have gone insane.

[Emily Fenn]

Yeah, absolutely insane. There needs to be something correcting, correcting the market there for, for the younger fans who want to still enjoy music. All right, we do have some more top stories to get to here, Brian. Former National Counterterrorism center director Joe Kent is now reportedly under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified information, according to multiple sources. The administration sources go on to claim the investigation began before Kent resigned from his post, citing his opposition to the US War with Iran. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard was asked about this during a hearing with lawmakers yesterday. Brian, let's take a look at what she had to say.

[Tracy Anthony]

Do you agree or disagree with what this letter was put out by former Director Kent?

[Brian Glenn]

He said a lot of things in that letter. Ultimately, we have provided the President with

[Tracy Anthony]

the intelligence assessments, and the president is

[Brian Glenn]

elected by the American people and makes his own decisions based on the information that's available to him. But do you agree with, does that

[Tracy Anthony]

statement he made blaming Israel concern you?

[Brian Glenn]

Yes.

[Emily Fenn]

So a pretty interesting interaction there. Brian, I want to get your thoughts on how you thought that played out. Look, if he was a leaker, he was a leaker. There was an investigation ongoing, even beforehand. But from the Tulsi Gabbard there, she, she was kind of hesitant to throw support either way. What were your thoughts, Brian?

[Brian Glenn]

Yeah, I agree she was reluctant to throw support in any direction. But I will say this. If there's evidence of leaking prior to this letter, then certainly that needs to be looked at. But his assessment that we're in this war on behalf of Israel or fighting for Israel has been a question from the very beginning, not just from Joe Kent, but for many people in, many Republicans, many in the MAGA circle. And even when this war first started, there was a bit, if you remember, there was a little bit of debate of who, you know, why did we strike? Because we thought the Israelis would strike first and we wouldn't be ready with a counterpunch. So there's always been a little bit of fuzziness in why we're in this war. Look, you got to, you got to respect Joe Kent. He's a veteran, multiple tours in the Middle East. His wife was killed by, was in the line of duty working for, for a comms department. So you got to respect his services, country. And I respect the fact that if he doesn't agree, Emily, with everything right now, it's better to step aside than to perhaps put people in danger. So I do respect his decision, but it's going to be debatable what's in that letter, and it's. Everything's up for debate.

[Emily Fenn]

Yeah. Yeah, it certainly is his prerogative to, to, to stand by what he wants to stand by, Brian. So just right there and we'll see how the rest of this plays with Joe Kent, we do have one last story that I want to get to. I know we got to wrap this up here, but a high stakes Senate race is heating up in Michigan, my home state, where three Democrats, Haley Stevens, Mallory McMorrow and Abdul Assayed, are battling in a primary that's quickly becoming an ideological showdown between moderates and progressives. Brian, where do you think this goes for Democrats in Michigan? And what is your take on some other races that you've been following?

[Brian Glenn]

It's interesting on this because Michigan has been the center of all the fraud, waste and abuse. So we'll see what Democrat comes out against waste, fraud and abuse, if that's even possible. So I'm taking a look at that. And obviously having roots in Texas, the Paxton, Cornyn, I don't see how Cornyn wins this thing based upon all the polls that I've seen. Emily, Paxton is about as MAGA as you get. He's fought for the Trump administration, he's fought the Biden administration when he was in office, against the border and election integrity. So clearly, if you look at who's got the support of American people in Texans, it is Ken Paxton. But we'll see how that plays out as well. And so there's a lot of races. Look, the midterms are important, Emily, as you know this. And if we, if we let the House go and they take over the Senate, I can tell you one thing, it will be impeachment. Impeachment, impeachment. Until for the next two years. We cannot allow that, Emily.

[Emily Fenn]

Yeah, you're absolutely correct. I mean, we saw that during Trump's first term as president. That's exactly what they wanted to focus on. Certainly didn't want to get anything good done for the American people. Speaking of the midterms, Brian, I just want to know what your overall view of the midterms, what it's going to look like. You know, I've been hearing so many negative things in Republican circles saying it's not going to look good, it's not going to look good. Economy issues may be top, top four American voters. It seems like the war obviously is going to be top of people's minds as well. Do you think that there is a way that, you know, from Trump's leadership, you know, for all the way down, that there's going to be a way to save this for Republicans and that the midterms are going to go well? We got to hear some optimism, Brian.

[Brian Glenn]

We do. Well, I am optimistic because I do truly feel like Republican, you know, strategy. I Think Republican lines and what we stand for. Our policies, thank you, for lack of a better word, are better than Democrat policies. But if Americans are not feeling, or they're feeling the effects of this war up until late summer, early fall, then we could be in some trouble, Emily. But I'm hoping that's not the case. When you get these prices back down on fuel, get the economy going back in the right direction, wrap up the war. Emily, you see this like I see this in the MAGA circle. There is a big division on this war and people. There's people that are for it, there's people that are against it. We've got to put that difference aside and do what's best for the party, which is save the Republican Party, keep our majority.

[Emily Fenn]

Absolutely. Brian. Coming together as a party is going to be critical. I mean, there are so many bigger problems that the left represents in this country that you're right, that unity on the right certainly needs to happen. And I do think, you know, we're still in the early days here. Everyone keeps talking about forever wars, forever wars. And it's like, oh, my gosh, we're only a couple of weeks in. Like, let's relax, let's this, let this play out a little bit further here. But I do think that if, if it does escalate further, if there does happen to be boots on the ground, that's going to be a game changer, that's going to really shoot things in a different direction. So let's hope that, that everything is able to get wrapped up here soon. Brian.

[Brian Glenn]

And you know what? You would think from a political playbook, it's political suicide to lead your party into a war when you've been recovered from the economy. You inherited a horrible economy. You' turned it around. So I don't know the timing of when you get into a war, into a political year that you're trying to keep the majority. So it's a very risky move, and let's just pray that it plays out. But it's something you normally do not see, Emily. You do not see an incumbent party launching into a war and an election season, but you do it if you coerced oppression by a foreign entity, which I hope that's not the case, but it looks like it is. Emily, thank you so much for coming on this morning. We appreciate it.

[Emily Fenn]

Thank you so much, Brian.

[Brian Glenn]

All right, thank you. We'll check in with David Brody right here on American Sunrise to get you set for what's happening next. Stay with us. We'll be Right back. Take a listen.

[Brian Glenn]

All right, our nation's capital on this Friday. Welcome back, America Sunrise EARLY edition. I am Brian Glenn. Always a good way to wrap up things. Just a look ahead. And doing that, we're going to turn to our own David Brody. David, good morning on this Friday. Going into the weekend, a lot of news. Everything from the Middle east to on Capitol Hill. Where do we start?

[David Brody]

Where do we start? I mean, look, at this point, it's a potpourri of craziness and it's Always been that way, hasn't it, Brian? Ever since Trump glided down the escalator in 2015. My gosh, has it really been 11 years? I can't even. I can't even imagine.

[Brian Glenn]

And what's, here's what's ironic about that. Yeah, I was working in radio at the time, and I said from the very beginning, that's my guy. And they were like, donald Trump. I'm like, absolutely. Because he said about eight years prior to that that the only person that. Or the only way we can, we have to fight China in their war, economic war on this country. And I thought he recognized at an early age. So, anyway, I've been with Trump ever since the escalator, but, boy, it's been a riot, hasn't it?

[David Brody]

Yeah, it's funny you mentioned the escalator, or I guess we both mentioned it now at this point. Here's a quick little Trump story for you. So I've interviewed him over 30 times or so ever since 2015. I've known him since 2011. That was my first interview with him. And in 2015, about a month. It was in May of 2015, he announced in June of 2015, about a month before he announced, I was with him. This sounds a little weird in a hotel room. I'll kind of do the clarification in the context of that, but we were actually having a conversation. It was me, Corey Lewandowski, Hope Hicks, and Trump. That was it in the room. And we were there to do a story about him, about he's thinking about running for president. And there he is in Iowa. It was a hotel room in Iowa. So we go to this big ballroom in Iowa and we're following around. We got a wireless mic on him and everything, and he's loving life and everything. So he yells out, there's this huge crowd lining up to see him in this ballroom. And everybody else, there's like some, I think Rubio and Cruz and a few other people were there. Once again, they hadn't announced either, but everybody was kind of making the rounds. And they had small lines and he had this huge line. And, and he yells out to me at the back of the room, I'm in the back of the room. And he yells out, david, David, look at this line. Look at this line. I mean, right from the get go, he was loving, quote, crowd size, if you will. And we know what happened with Sean Spicer. So, I mean, you know, he's a piece of work for sure. You know, I remember just one last story. I'm just going down memory lane for a second. I remember I was on Morning Joe. I can't believe I was on Morning Joe. But, yes, I was on Morning Joe, like, years, years ago. And I was talking about the presidential primary. It was 2016, right? And Rubio was running and Trump was running others. And I said some nice things about Rubio. And I get a call and it's Trump. And he's like, you're not being. He doesn't ever announces his name, right? He just calls. He says, you're not being very nice to me. And I said, what are you talking about? He goes, I just saw you on Morning Joe. I said, yeah, but I was talking about Rubio. I wasn't talking about you. And he goes, yeah, I know. You were saying nice things about Marco. He goes, that's bad for Trump is what he said. So, you know, I mean, this, this is him. You know the deal, Brian. I mean, this is, this is what he's all about. And I just, I think he's one of a kind, one of the most influential presidents ever in our history, and one of the, One of the best. One of the best.

[Brian Glenn]

I agree. You're going to be at CPAC next week, so people can tune in for that. You're doing your. All your shows from there, which is great. I'll be at the White House all next week. David Brody, as always, it's been a pleasure.
