This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human hey, it's Bobby Bones. You know Eddie and I recently stopped by. Yeah, in Nashville. It's an incredible nonprofit empowering kids through music education. Thanks to Hyundai, we recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. How do you think learning an instrument helps kids with confidence? Learning an instrument allows them to discover a little bit further of who they are and be comfortable with it and then share a little bit about that with others. And if it's done in an environment that is celebrating and championing them, then that confidence can only go up. The full episode is out now, presented by the Hyundai Ioniq 9.

You people and others like you built this country join us as we break down the stories that matter. F A F O. If you don't know now, you know. American SUNRISE EARLY EDITION on Real America's VOICE starts now. All right. Welcome to a Wednesday edition of American Sunrise EARLY edition. So glad you're joining us. There's a lot you can do right now. Take a look at the bottom of your screen right now. There's a QR code. Scan it. That's your ticket to join the Weather NATION family. 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 and Weather nation. Joining us now is Weather Nation's own Tracy Anthony. Tracy, good morning to you. Now, I would imagine if you live in the west, anywhere on the west coast, you better have some air conditioning because you're getting some triple digits coming out that way. Yeah, it's going to be extreme. I was actually just talking to a neighbor yesterday who used to live in San Francisco and she said they didn't have AC or even heat for that matter. But there's a lot of people in some of those areas that are going to be hurting. So we always say check on your neighbors, check on the elderly assist, especially if they don't have ac. But want to kind of dive into that forecast because we are talking long, a long duration heat wave that's coming in really well before average. So widespread extreme heat warnings and heat advisories from Vegas all the way down through Tucson. This does stretch up into the Bay Area and these heat advisories and excessive heat warnings will be in effect through the entire week. So this ridge of high pressure is just going to hold its ground. It's driving the rain from the Pacific up across areas of Washington. So we do still have an atmospheric river bringing in some moisture, fire danger across the Front Range, a little snow for the Great Lakes and one more morning with some cold temperatures across the Southeast and then we're going to be warming up as well. So temperatures rebounding back to more spring like levels. But look at this. Phoenix triple digits could be the earliest they've had a triple digit high temperature. So we're going to be breaking records not just for Phoenix, but even areas like Denver forecast on Saturday to get up to 89 degrees. Denver, the highest temperature on record for the month of March is 84 degrees. So we're not just breaking these records by a degree or two. We're going to be crushing them with this heat that sticks around for several days. We'll finally get some relief as we get into early next week. So then temperatures are will dial back. But with the heat and with the rain across parts of the Northwest, we do have a lot of concerns for avalanche danger. So if I know it's spring break, a lot of people go skiing, snowboarding. If you're not going to the beach, you might be going out west. Avalanche danger is going to be a real big concern, especially with the warm temperatures that snow starts to melt. So that's definitely one thing I want people to consider over the next couple of days, Brian, because even though it's clear skies, doesn't mean that there's no weather danger out there. That's a great point. I never thought about the danger of the avalanche, especially going into these warmer months in the spring. So that's, that's good. Heads up on that. And then also I saw a fun fact. I think if Palm Springs on Friday hits 110, it will be the warmest day on record ever in the US on that in the month of March, so. Oh, well, we'll see that plays out. Hey, look at that. You're giving me some fun nuggets. I'll have to, I'll look that up to verify. But no, that's, it's like I'll be breaking records. Yeah, we're breaking records everywhere. Well, you know what's funny? Let's make sure on Thursday, Friday we do. We keep an eye on that. It'd be interesting to see if that does happen. But anyway. All right, thank you so much. And of course, all of our viewers can find you in the 9 o' clock hour for one of our lucky hometown forecasts selection. So, Tracy, thank you so much. Yep. All right, let's turn up to our top story. Breaking overnight, the US Hitting Iranian missile sites near the Strait of Hormuz using a 5,000 pound bunker buster. A clear escalation in this war and at the same time, signs of real tension inside the administration. Now top counterterrorism official Joe Kentucky stepping down, publicly breaking with the war. Let's bring in Colonel William Dunn, a former Cobra pilot and combat commander. Colonel Dunn, bunker busters amid this ongoing split with the administration, what's your read on all of this? And before we get started, thank you for your service, sir. I appreciate it. I know in times like this, a lot of us need to really reflect of those that served our country. So I want to start off this interview by saying thank you for your service. Well, thanks, Brian, and thanks so much for having me. And it was my pleasure and honor to serve this country for, for so long. Just a, just a great time in my life for, for not only myself but my family. Wonderful. What's your read on all of this? Let's, let's start with the 5,000 pound bunker busters. Tell us a little bit about that. Well, that's, to me is not unusual whatsoever. We are using everything in our arsenal, every capability in our arsenal to protect and make sure our men and women that are executing this campaign downrange have everything they need. You know, we've seen that with submarines sinking ships, bunker busters, B2s, you know, pulling out B52s, B1s. Just if you're going to fight a war, you know, I know we're not technically calling this a war, but to the men and women fighting it, I would think they would call it a war. But they need to have everything they need at their disposal 24,7 to prosecute these targets. And the president in this administration has given that to them. And that's a Outstanding thing if you're the war fighter pulling a trigger on these targets. Okay. You know, earlier when this war started, we didn't necessarily ask for any of our allies or any members of NATO to get involved. Now that we're kind of looking for some of our allies to help us with securing the Strait of Hormuz, very few countries have been willing to come forward at France reluctantly thinking about it. What's your take on, on the, and do we need our allies to come to our aid to secure this straight? Well, first of all, it'd be wonderful if they were there as a pilot, attack helicopter pilot and spending a lot of time coming in and off ships. It does not bother me that they're not there. I believe we can attack all these targets with US Capabilities and, and obviously Israel, Israeli capabilities without adding additional fray into the mix. Our allies are great, they're great to be there, but it does add confusion, it adds risk. And so by them not showing up, although I think it's a tactical failure on their part and a strategic failure on their part, I think it'll allow us to prosecute some of these targets in the next coming weeks with a little more ease in, a little less friction. So I don't mind that they're not there. Would I, would I like them there? Yes. But once you bring in another country, especially if they're coming off ships and you have other ships in the area, that puts a huge threat to our aircraft. And, and I, I suspect all the pilots that are out there, that they're listening, that have flown combat missions in the region would, would agree that it be, it can become scary returning to force if you're flying and other countries are painting you with their radars and they're not sure. We saw what happened in Kuwait. Three of our aircraft got shot down. I think this is a, this will go a long way in protecting that by not having them there. That's a great, that's an excellent point. I'm glad you brought that up. And I don't, I have not heard that perspective, but that's, that's me make some excellent points. Okay. Yesterday, Joe Kent stepping down, resigning, sending a letter to President Trump pushing out on social, social media as well, claiming that he did from, from his take of this. We weren't really an intimate threat from Iran from any type of attack and was fought to perhaps been led into this war on behalf of Israel, Israel forcing us into this war. What's your assessment of that? And, and do you think that he was looking at the same intelligence briefing as President Trump. I mean, are they all looking at the same amount of information? Well, first of all, I suspect they are. And what's important for a commander is very simple. And I've been in this situation, as most commanders have, when you are the commander, whether you're the commander of a squadron, an infantry battalion, or the country as the commander in chief, when you take all your advice from your advisors, eventually you make a decision. And once that decision is made, you have two choices. Support that decision or go on with your life and resign like this guy did. Now, I don't know him, I've never met him. I, I, you know, I've, I've looked at some of his record. He seems like a stand up guy. So he's resigning for his own reasons. But that's what, that's what he should do. If he does not agree and is not going to support the president, he should resign and move on and bring someone in that will support this because the decision has been made. Anyone backing out at this point, in my opinion, is putting our men and women at risk. Because the decision has been made now we support it. We support it fully to the end and then we debate about it afterwards. Because right now we cannot turn back the last three weeks and hopefully this will be over the next two or three weeks and our men and women can come home safely. But you never know. We do not want to put our men and women at risk. So I just hope everybody stays the course. Give your comments and your opinions to the president, but when he decides you're either on board or you're not, there you go. I agree. All right, Colonel Dunn, thank you so much. Once again, thanks for your service and we look forward to seeing you again. Appreciate it. Well, thanks so much for having me. And throw a prayer out for all our men and women that are executing this campaign. Yeah, I agree. Thank you. We will Europe. All right, coming up, the countdown to the opening bell.

That's a beautiful shot right there. New York City. Welcome back. I'm Brian Glenn. Good to have you with us this morning. We're tracking the White House, the markets and the latest in the Middle East. Join the conversation on Getter YouTube and Rumble. Let's check out on Wall street as we head towards the opening bell. Tom, the dow closing up 47 points at 46, 993. The Nasdaq also moving slightly higher. More than 105 points to close at 2247 9. Now Brent crude closing above $102 a barrel. U.S. crude selling near 96. And at the pump, gas prices jumping overnight. Now the national average is around 379A gallon as the New York Stock Exchange prepares to open at 9:30. And I was watching this morning little bit of the oil stocks and some of the analysts that we're talking about these every one of the oil companies have just been on a run lately and he suggests that they were absolutely a sell right now. And I'm not suggesting you do that, but just from what I've heard and you can also see that how this connects to higher oil prices, is higher gas prices. And now the real concern as voters headed to the polls is a major primary in Illinois and special elections in Virginia and Pennsylvania. Early test ahead of the midterms. Do we have Doug Master with us now? Okay, we do not. But when you take a look at the price of gas and the price of diesel which, which directly affects just about every thing that is on the shelf right now from a consumer standpoint that is causing the prices to go higher. Now President Trump has said this is kind of a short lived spike in oil. And I have brought up on this show that we could see and some others have suggested it that any type of oversight hearing and bring some of these oil executives in to ask them why in a matter of a day do we see prices of gas around the country spike as much as 50 to 60 cents overnight when that immediate effect in the Middle east doesn't necessarily, you know, equal to the effect at the pump. So there is a little bit of a, a lag time before we start to see that in prices at the pump. So maybe that happens, I don't know. But certainly the, the price of goods have gone up. Now how will that affect the voter as we go into the midterms? Now if you look from an economy standpoint, yes, overall inflation has come way down since Joe Biden's administration over all of us know that if we saw double digits inflation across every consumer good and service that is way down. However, now we have price of gas at 379the national average. So go on the flip side of this. You take a look at what if we're still in any type of military escalation. Now the poly markets suggest that we could still be doing or dealing with the straighter from Moose by about May. So some analysts say it could be shorter probably markets suggest by May. But there also was a higher probability that this could go to December. Now if this, if we're still dealing with the straight of Hormuz and military action in the Middle east on behalf of the US Government that's still going on with us, that could affect the midterms. And in regards to do voters feel secure and safe about going into the next election with an ongoing war that would have started only for a couple of weeks but have gone several months since then. We'll find out how that turns out. All right, let's have a word from one of our sponsors. I think about this for a second. In 20, in 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at spot prices.

Glad you're with us on this very busy morning. As always, we're following developments across the country and around the world. Join us on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. Now, our top story at this minute, a massive fraud investigation out of California, potentially even bigger than Minnesota. Nick Shirley and his team is uncovering more than $170 million in alleged fraud. Nick. Teaming up with activist Amy Reichert to expose what they say is a broken system. Let's Take a look. So they do have some children here. How many? They usually say they have or what? What's the story with the children? The last few visits from the state have said that they have 39 enrolled, and right now we're seeing about five children. Yes, they are enrolling right now. It says Medina Learning center is now enrolling. So let's see if little Joey can lear a little bit here. Here at Medina, do you have the paperwork to enroll a little boy by the name of Joey? Yes, we'd like to enroll little Joey in the daycare they have as their backup facility, the UMI Learning Center. And the UMI Learning center was convicted in federal court in 2024 of having 150 ghost kids. So I want to find out what the affiliation is and why this facility is listed as the backup. Oh, man. Joining us now is Amy Reichert. She's a founder of Restore San Diego. Amy, A hundred and million dollars. This is almost hard to believe. And a lot of it, according to President Trump, is going to terrorist organizations. So money that's meant for needy kids to feed them and for these ghost daycares is actually going to Al Qaeda, according to President Trump. Okay, now this is just one of many. I mean, how many of these daycares are all over California? I mean, this is not just a handful. You. You guys probably have a list of daycares. I searched alphabetically, and what I found was staggering. That a lot of it was centered specifically right here in San Diego in the Somali community. Okay, so when you confront them, and that was just one brief clip that we saw, how combative and defensive are they? Because I think they have an idea that you figured them out. Every single person willingly opened the door and said, you're Nick Shirley. And the image that you're looking at right now, the woman, she came to the door and she said, I'm naked. I could sue you. And then she disappeared for 30 seconds. She came back, opened the door again, said, I was naked. I could sue you, Nick Shirley. And of course, you know what I said next? I said, why are you naked in a daycare? Well, that's a great question, because it's not a daycare. We all know that. Okay, so you've got this information. Obviously, President Trump is aware of the fraud. Vice President Jamie Vance is aware of the fraud. They call him the fraud czar. Now, where does this information go? And how can we, as Americans, and Californians in particular, because you're out there, hold these people responsible? What happens to them? I can Tell you right now, we're having a heat wave in California, and the heat is on Gavin Newsom, and he is having a really bad past couple of days. I can tell you that Our Assistant Attorney General, Bill Asale, just, quote, tweeted Nick Shirley and said, arrests are coming, so we can't wait. Yeah. Now, how do you go about finding the. And I would imagine there are some daycares that are legitimately following the law. They are. You know, they're all. They're. They're legit. How do you separate the ones that are doing it right and the ones that are ripping people off? How do you. What's your grounds for that? I'm a state licensed private investigator in California. I've had my license since 1999. So I did go about this in investigative style by searching alphabetically, and I never, ever focused on one ethnic, racial, or religious group. And I came up with a list of, really, the Dirty Dozen. And I showed them to Nick Shirley, and these were ones that had the most visits from the state of California, and it had the most health and safety code violations, things like missing enrollment records, not having parental emergency contact information. So, again, I'm just an investigator. I'm not a judge, I'm not a prosecutor, I'm not a jury. So all I can really do is say, look, here's some fraud indicators. Attorney General, will you please take a look? Yeah. Do you ever feel threatened? I've seen some of these videos, and the one the other day, this. This guy was claiming, you know, he starts filming you guys. Do you ever feel threatened that they might turn violent towards you? You know, the. The attacks and the threats against Nick Shirley, who's just 23 years old, a citizen journalist, a patriot who's just trying to get the truth out there. I can tell you that I saw with my own eyes on social media that someone said that he should be Charlie Kirk, and that would make his mom Erica. Yeah, I know some of the hate that we see online against anyone trying to expose fraud is. Is. Is, you know, gets that reaction. Okay, so how many more do you. These. You think we could find? I mean, $170 million in fraud seems like a lot, but you anticipate more. I mean, you go up to San Francisco. I mean, some of these other Los Angeles. I mean, imagine how much more of this is going on. California is a big state, and it's certainly a lot bigger than Minnesota. And I can tell you that Nick Shirley is returning to California, so there's more to come. All right. Amy, as always, how can people follow you on social media for all the investigative stuff that you're doing? I'm on Instagram and X and my handle is amy4san Diego. There you go. Amy for San Diego. I like that. All right, next time on the West Coast, I'll come look you up. And by the way, I hope you have air conditioning because that heat wave that you have right now is going to get hot.

All right. Welcome back to American Sunrise. By the way, peeling back the curtain real quickly. I always love the people back in the control room back in West Palm talking in my ear. I love them every morning. All right. Good morning, everybody. Brian Glenn, glad you're with us on this very busy morning. Make sure you join us on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. Let's head over to the Denver newsroom now with the latest headlines with Terrance Bates. Terrence, what's leading today? Never a shortage. Oh, Brian, there's so much to talk about. Let's start on the Capitol, where the US Senate digging in for a marathon debate over the Save America Act. The voter integrity bill would require prospective voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. The measure also includes a provision for voters to show identification in order to actually cast a ballot. President Trump calls getting the bill passed his top legislative priority. Senate Majority Leader John Thune bringing the bill to the floor despite the expectation that it's going to fail. You're going to hear me use the adjective common sense a lot in this debate, Mr. President, because if there's any word that is suitable to describe the measures we're considering, it's that. Mr. President, if there's anything essential to the integrity of elections, it's ensuring that those who are registered to vote are eligible to vote and that those who show up to vote at polling places are those who they say they are. And Brian, President Trump has said that he won't sign any new bills until the act is passed. Senate Majority Leader Thune threatening to keep the measure on the floor through the weekend and potentially into next week in order to highlight Democratic opposition to the voting reforms. And again, he said these are common sense issues that are being considered, but Democrats have been holding out. And let's just be honest, there are a couple of Republicans who are also holdouts for this and have rejected or pushed back against this, which absolutely is not helping his case. No, but it's also the same logic that Republicans have complained about Obamacare for 15 years now and have done absolutely nothing in regards to providing an alternative healthcare plan. So if this is common sense approach, Terence, then let's do the common sense thing and pass it. But I don't think common sense flows through D.C. common sense doesn't always rule the day, for sure. Speaking of the White House, it appears to be ready to negotiate with Democrats over immigration enforcement changes in exchange for funding the Department of Homeland Security. The agency has been shuttered for more than 30 days now. On Tuesday, the White House sent Senate Republicans a letter outlining adjustments the administration is willing to make in order to address some of the concerns raised by Democrats. However, the letter reportedly ignored several Democrat priorities, including blocking immigration officers from wearing masks and requiring ICE agents to obtain warrants from judges in order to enter homes and businesses to make arrests. In the letter, border czar Tom Holman says the administration is open to enforcing, quote, the use of visible officer identification. Holman also said says that the White House would consider limiting civil immigration enforcement activities at sensitive locations like hospitals and schools. So it goes to show that the White House and the administration in general are looking to find ways to get the Department of Homeland Security funded. But again, the Democrats are really digging in here and not, or at least don't appear to be ready to budge on some minor things to make sure that DHS is funded and more importantly, that our nation is secured. Yeah, and you know, we saw some videos yesterday. I think John Cornyn and one of the reps in Texas met at the airport and they had a Little bit of exchange on the curb. We've seen some TSA protests and protests, or I should say, kind of a impromptu press conferences, if you will. Sorry. So the nation really is getting on edge of all this. And of course, we mentioned about spring break travelers right now. A lot of people between the weather and the TSA lines, they're missing flights. And we're, we're dropping the ball on safety and our duty as Americans to provide a safe country. So this is just a failure all across the board. The safety issue is the biggest concern for me. Brian, I think you hit the nail on the head. You know, what's it going to take for a couple of planes to collide or for there to be some sort of major aviation accident and then they are going to want to act? No, we want to prevent that. And acting now is the way to do that. So let's hope something comes of all of this. Brian. Finally, the FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation on the case this morning after a man walked into a VA clinic and shot an employee. The victim was airlifted to the hospital. Police quickly responded, responded to the crime scene, though, and shot and killed the shooter. We're expecting details about the suspect to be released as soon as today. So far, investigators aren't saying what motivated the attack or if the suspect is even a veteran. All of this happened in Jasper, Georgia. That's about 60 miles outside of Atlanta. The clinic will be closed for the rest of the week and it offers primary care services along with laboratory and mental health. Health care. Just a shocking sort of story. Fortunately, not many victims involved here, but that a guy would walk into a VA clinic and start shooting, it just raises concerns and it's a story that will, of course, continue to follow. Also, Brian, following the whole story involving Joe Kent, the fact that he resigned and basically is blaming the Trump administration for starting the war in Iran, saying that it was largely influenced, influenced by Israel. That's Joe Kent's contention. Of course, the president came out and said that's not the case and also called Joe Kent weak yesterday in all of this. So that's another story we're gonna be watching today. A lot going on. Yeah, there is. All right, Terrence, as always, we can get more. Terrence if you want more. Terrence, stick around about half hour. Go have homies. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. All right, now to thank you now to Capitol Hill, the Senate moving forward on the SAVE Act. Let's bring in our national political reporter, Neil McCabe, who's live on Capitol Hill Right now, Neil, very interesting scenario setting up. A lot of people might have been a little shocked when they read the headlines on social media that the SAVE act passed. Kinda lay out the blueprints on where we're at right now with the Save America Act. So what happened yesterday, Brian, is that the Senate approved the motion to advance to the bill to take up the bill. That vote was 5,148. And of course we all know there are 45 Democrats and two independents who caucus with Democrats. So that extra, that extra vote was Republican From Alaska, Lisa McCow, who voted against moving forward with the bill. Thom Tillis didn't show up. So There you have two rebels already, but 51 carries the day and now the Senate is taking the vote. Now Senators, both Republicans and Democrats were on the floor yesterday afternoon and evening. They shut down the floor around 7:20 last night. But that wasn't sort of part of the filibuster. That was just there are times set up where Senators can just sort of speak on events. And they decided to speak on the SAVE act Mostly today at 10 o' clock the Senate convenes and we have to wait to see how it happens. You could have the Democrats seize the floor and not give it back. And that would be the classic filibuster. Once the Democrats stop speaking, then they have to give up the floor and then the Republicans can start having votes. The first votes are not going to be for to close debate and go to the actual Save America act because there's a number of amendments that have been called for by President Donald J. Trump. And so I would expect Senate Republicans, John Thune, the leader, to move forward with those amendments and we'll see. The Democrats could filibuster the amendments or they could let them go. We really don't know what the Democrats are going to do. Brian, great. Laying out the framework on that. A great job on that. Okay. You had a couple questions to Thune yesterday. Walk us through that. Right. So every Tuesday Thune has a press gaggle just off the Senate floor. I asked him two questions. The first question was, you know, why is the filibuster more important than blocking illegals from voting? And he said that the filibuster is a part of the institution. The framers of the Constitution wanted to set up the Senate as a deliberative body. And it was telling that he said, and when the Democrats take over the Senate, we'll be able to use the filibuster against them to block their agenda. I'm not sure if that's true. And then my follow up was, if the issues in the Save America act are existential threats to our democracy, which is what Thune and the Republicans are saying, well, then why aren't we dropping? Like, why are we treating this so casually? He said he didn't think that the Senate was treating it cash. Senate Republicans were treaty and casually. But you know his language of phraseology. Two or three days ago, he was a lot more hardcore. That press gaggle is right after the Senate luncheon when the Senate Republican, both Senate Republicans and Democrats have lunch together on Tuesdays, and then afterwards, their leaders speak. Something happened in that room. I haven't found out yet. I've talked to people who are usually in the room. They weren't in the room. So we'll find out what happened. But when Thune came out of that luncheon, he started talking about having a, you know, an important conversation with Democrats, putting Democrats on the record. You saw him clip earlier in the show where he's talking about common sense solutions. Well, you know, that's a common sense solution is not dealing with an existential threat to your Constitution. So we'll see what they do. You know, I've always thought, Neil, that if Republicans went on the offense on this and got rid of the filibuster, codified all these executive orders and all these policies into law and strengthened the Republican Party, strengthened our election process, we wouldn't have to worry about Democrats getting back in power and weaponizing against us because voters wouldn't approve of Democrats. They would be happy with what's going on with the life with Republican policies. So I don't. You brought it up. I don't think there's any better issue to get rid of the filibuster on the. On this securing our elections. That is the most important thing we have. Well, the only way I can respond to you, Brian, is to say that, you know, the Republicans, Republican and Democratic labels are useless to me. I see it as there are people who are for Washington and against Washington. You know, Republicans are sent to Washington, D.C. to control and rein in the federal government. But what happens is, you know, their wife becomes a lobbyist, their son gets a job at some agency or think tank, and they marry with the natives. And then it turns out they're just as pro Washington and having Washington in control as the Democrats. And so we're stuck. Yeah, you're. You know, Neil, you nailed it. And when you see someone that's elected from, let's just say, Georgia, okay. And they move their entire family to D.C. you go. Wait a minute. Why would you do that? You should spit. You should spend more time in your district talking to your constituents than you do the lobbyist in D.C. and so to your point, that's what they do. They, they get up there, they marry the natives. Lobbyists. They're more worried, Brian. They're more worried about getting their kids into Georgetown Prep than they are in advancing the agenda they campaigned for. Now, you are spot on today, Neal, as always. I appreciate you coming on. How can people follow you on social media? I know there's a lot of developing today. You'll be right there in the action. You can find me on all the socials, Brian. At reportermccabe. Yeah, at reporter McCabe. Thanks, Neil. I appreciate it. All right, coming up, we'll check with David Brody right here on American Sunrise. Get you what's what they're working on all that straight ahead. And we come back when it's breaking.

All right, I want to bring in America Sunrise host David Brody to the conversation for the final few minutes of the show this morning. God, Grit and country. Gotta love it. Yeah, how about some grits, too? But I'm always thinking about food. I'm always thinking about food. So am I. Real quickly, a big story obviously happening in the admin. Joe Kent out resigns, sends a letter to President Trump, says it doesn't really agree with them. President Trump said, oh, he seems like a nice guy, but kind of weak on security. They part ways. The mission. Well, still continues, though. Yeah, listen, Brian, instead of. And we'll focus a lot on Joe Kent, what he had to say, and he talked about the Israel lobby and all that, but let's put all that aside for a second. He said one thing. Obviously, he said there was no imminent threat. Now, we've heard this before. Now, Caroline Levitt has come out and said, well, President Trump, of course, has said there was an imminent threat. And Caroline Levitt has said, as a matter of fact, she came out yesterday on X and said there is compelling evidence that there was an imminent threat. Okay, what is the compelling evidence? Look, as you know, Brian, I'm all for the war, right? I mean, I'm for it. And I think they should have been attacked. No doubt, it's been 47 years in the making. But if you're going to say there's compelling evidence of an imminent threat, rather than it being classified briefings, the public needs to have a little bit more information. And I think we'll get that today. Hopefully, we'll get a little bit more of that today at 10am with some of that Senate Intelligence Committee hearings with Tulsi Gabbard and others, because, you know, we've got to kind of know a little bit more about the imminent threat. And I think that's the key. And I don't think the administration has given a complete answer on that. Basically, they're saying, trust us, we've got the compelling evidence. The president. Just trust the president. But then you get into classified briefings and the Republicans and Democrats come out of that saying two different things. If there is an imminent threat, there's not an imminent threat. And even Speaker Mike Johnson just said in the last 24 hours that if we didn't act. If the American didn't act, there would be scores of Americans dead. Okay, if you're going to say that, what's the exact imminent threat you're talking about? Yeah, I think a lot of. I think a lot of people agree with you right now, David. Appreciate. That's what, 9:30 today, right? Is that 9? 10:00am 10:00am 10:00am okay. All right, you get more. David Brody, a couple minutes.
