This is an iHeart podcast, Guaranteed Human. Ahead on American Sunrise, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is demanding that her testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein probe be held publicly. In doing so, she's also challenging House Oversight Chairman James Comer, saying that it's time to stop the games and bring transparency to the hearing. We'll have the very latest for you. Plus, the search for 84 year old Nancy Guthrie intensifies as investigators pursue new leads in what authorities call a suspected abduction. The FBI is now involved in offering a $50,000 reward in the case. Why? Investigators say this is a critical time in the investigation. That's ahead. And then later, Turning Point USA is staging an all American halftime show to rival the NFL's official performance. The show is headlined by Kid Rock and other stars. It's billed as a celebration of faith, family and freedom. And it will stream opposite the Big Game. So what will the response be? We'll talk about it, those stories and so much more right now on American Sunrise. Good morning America. Welcome to AMERICAN sunrise. Whether it's culture, we have breaking news to share with you. Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family. The American dream is still alive. I'm David Brody. I'm terrence. And I'm Dr. Gina. Good morning. I'm Dr. Gina. We are live with you from the Palm Beaches. Let's bring in Bo Davidson who is with us this morning here in Palm Beach. And also Terrence Bates. He's in our Denver newsroom. Good morning, gentlemen. Dr. G. And Bo. Good morning to both of you. Good morning to you as well. Great to see you both. Thank you. Hey, Dr. Gina. So look, one of the hardest words to pronounce in geopolitics is nuclear non proliferation. I have to say it slowly because otherwise I can't really get it out. But that really is the word of the day. President Trump or the Trump administration, of course, having nuclear talks with Iran. Those talks are currently underway. Initially they were canceled though and moved to Oman. You may remember originally they were set to happen in Turkey, but in separate talks, Russia and the United States also discussing the expiration of the last remaining nuclear arms agreements between those two countries. They agree that talks for reeling in nuclear arsenals really need to begin between those countries as well. Nuclear non proliferation. Who would have thought that in this day and age we would still be talking about it? But it is still an issue issue. Many countries now trying to back off or at least having conversations, Dr. Gina, about backing off and downsizing their nuclear arsenals, which I think is a good, good deal personally. But I'd love to get your guys thoughts on how will this really goes and if the bargaining is really in good faith or if some of these countries are just going to hide some of their nuclear arsenal and say, oh, yeah, we've downgraded. Well, I think that's getting harder and harder to do. There's so much technology, there's, you know, so many ways to see things from. From space that I think that's getting harder and harder to do. So. To do so really endangers them, Beau, in ways that might put them in worse peril than if they just kept doing what they were doing and didn't pretend not to. Right. But I do love that the president that everybody said that the whole left said was going to cause a nuclear war is the one who's causing everybody to tuck their nukes away. Yeah, Dr. G. I would agree. And, you know, but I think Trump holds all the cards here. I mean, he's got diplomacy at his. At his disposal. He's got military option at his disposal. Caroline Levitt said as much the other day. Jared Kushner obviously negotiated the Abraham Peace Accords. We hope for diplomacy, we hope for peace. But I know you guys know the word fafo, and I would just hate to say that to Iran, but let's be honest, if you keep going down this road, I don't think it's going to end very well for you either way. Wow. We opened the show with that. Just saying. I mean, y' all is setting the curve here. Terrence, it's free sailing from here on. It is Friday, you guys. It's Free Freedom Friday. So Beau's just taking advantage. Absolutely, Bo. I'm looking at colleges and funding college, so FAFSA is all I know. Not fafo. Like when you said I was like, fafsa. Oh, my God. I still got to fill out that paperwork. Anyway, we'll continue to obviously cover the ongoing meetings in Oman as well as the situation between Russia and Ukraine. Dr. Gina. Throughout the day, but would you give us our Bible verse, please? Yeah. It is today. From Matthew 11, verses 28 and 29. Come to me, all of you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. For I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. There's a great song they always sing in the Catholic Church about that referencing that verse that I really like. All right, listen. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calling for her testimony in the House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein's probe at Jeffrey Epstein probe to be held in public. Challenging committee chair James Comer to let Americans watch live. Clinton said she and former President Bill Clinton have engaged in good faith but that previous testimony has been ignored. Urging let's stop the games in public. The Clintons agreed to testify later this month as part of the investigation into the convicted sex offender. Let's bring in rap chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn. You know, Brian, this is a big, big turnaround from we're going to know show to now. We want this to be public. What happened? I don't know. Good morning. Happy Friday, everyone. We went from being are they going to show up to okay, they'll show up but boy, did they not lean into this. And I will say about this, this hearing, they better be careful what they wish for because there's some very sharp individuals on that hearing along that James Comer chairs that they're going to be cross examined six ways to Sunday on this. I think this is going to be must see tv. And if they believe in transparency, they better be willing to be transparent themselves. They will get asked the tough questions and we will find out exactly what their relationship was, both of them to the Epstein in regards to Jeffrey Epstein, what they know, where did they go, how many it's all going to be answered in questions on this hearing. So I'm literally looking forward to it. Yeah. Brian, we all know that Hillary has not been the most transparent person, has she? But want to get your thoughts on President Trump. He made a very special announcement last night and here's part of it. Let's take a look. We're here this evening to celebrate the launch of one of the most transformative health care initiatives of all time. There's never been anything like it. Starting tonight, dozens of the most commonly used prescription drugs will be available at dramatic discounts for all consumers throughout a new website. It's called trumprx.gov that's trumprx.gov for years, politicians from both parties have promised to bring down prescription drug prices and make health care more affordable. But they all failed. It was all words as usual. They failed and they failed badly. They tried doing this, some of them, most of them didn't even try because they never really had a shot at it. But I'm actually getting it done and it is done. Ryan, I was taking a look at the website. I had to take A look at it. And I'm looking at things like a WeGovy pen, an Ozempic pen, for instance. A lot of people use this. Original price, $1,349. Now it says 199amonth. What can you tell us about how he's been able to negotiate this most favored nation's pricing? And how do people actually access it? That's a great question. This was one of numerous press conferences the president has had in the Oval Office about this. This was a campaign promise. Now, when he first got all the pharmaceutical companies together, he told them what they what he wanted. Now, many of them pushed back and said it's ultimately impossible to do what he wanted. But they have all come to the table. Now, this, this website, they don't specifically sell drugs or medications from this site. This is simply a hub that directs you to these other pharmaceutical companies. And the ones that are on this list right now are the first ones that came to the table. So some of these companies that might not have offered up their best deal yet, once they come on board, they will be added to this website. But this is just a great resource and that is, you know, they call it the fat job. That is one drug that's on there. But there's a lot of beneficial medications that you can get on this website that's going to lower your monthly costs and sometimes bow even free with some of the deals that they have. So this is just another example of President Trump's commitment to lower the price of healthcare. And it's putting America first, for sure, putting American consumers first. Because we all know, most of us probably know some family members who have to decide about either buying groceries or buying their medications. And so hopefully this will make that a little bit easier for those people. Brian, you and I talked about this yesterday, but I want to play this clip again. President Trump weighing in on the 2028 race. While you and I are focused on the midterms. The president already looking forward a little bit and he talks about a ticket with JD Vance and Secretary Marco Rubio. Here are his thoughts. Look, JD Is fantastic and Marco is fantastic. How are they both doing? A good different. And I do think this. It's a great question. I think that's your most interesting question. I would say one is slightly more diplomatic than the other. I think they're both of very high intelligence. I mean, they will do shows, they will do Joe Rogan as opposed to the opponent not doing it because they couldn't handle it. They will be able to do whatever they have to do. I think there's a difference in style. You know, you can see the style yourself. But they're both very capable. I do think this, the combination of JD And Marco would be very hard to be beaten, I think. But you never know in politics, right? They say in the age of Trump, you never know. All right, so Petty T. Bates just came out, Brian. And I'd like to go around. Robin. Which one do you think he believes is the more diplomatic one? I know we could talk about a lot of things, but which one do you think is the more diplomatic one? Brian. And then we'll go around Dr. Gina and both. Brian. Okay, I think he's referring to Marco Rubio on the diplomatic. Okay, okay. Yeah, he's definitely. He's definitely, definitely referencing Marco Rupio. Wow. How far Marco has come in President Trump's mind from where he used to be. Right, Beau? Yeah, absolutely. I agree all the way around. I think it's Marco he's talking about, because JD Has a tendency, I think, to have a little bit more of that Trumpism of, I will do what I want to do and I will make you bend to my will. Marcos. I think I got a little more of the diplomacy in him. But do you remember the Zelensky meeting, the first one, when he said, Mr. President, if you don't mind, I'd like to jump in here. That's the feisty J.D. vance that exists. He's willing to. Brian, you started all of that. You started all of that, Brian, but JD Finished it. Go ahead, Brian. I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, no, I was just saying that. So I think he's willing. Look, he's a great. They're both great communicators, and which I think is important, all of this. I think JD Vance has a very much the guy next door type approach. He's the. He's the guy you go out and have a beer with. He's the guy that can talk politics. He's a guy that can throw the football with you as well in the front yard. He's a common guy, and I think that people like that. But he's also very calculated. He's a smart individual. He's got the best of both worlds. Now, Marco is a little bit more reserved. If you remember, during that Zelensky, he just kind of sat back in that couch and looked forward and was just kind of focusing on everything. But I think both of them would make great leaders. I think it's a great discussion that we're having way too early, but we are having it. Yeah. Will that be the death blow, Brian, really quickly we're out of time. But will that be the death blow to kind of because if the Democrats just start loading guns against him right now. Well, I think there's a reason why JD Vance have been put in charge of fighting the waste, fraud and abuse in California. They want to put him as that focus going taking on Gavin Newsom in regards to that. So they're already pitting them up to almost having a debate over how bad Newsom has handled the state of California. So there is your preemptive presidential debate. Brian Glenn, thanks for your time. Appreciate you have a great weekend. Coming up this Freedom Friday, we're going to check out the hottest headlines from the rap newsroom with Terrence Base.

Coming up, authorities release a new timeline in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Are we closer to a resolution, though? Well, we'll have the latest for you, but Terrence Bates is standing by with the latest headlines from Real America's Voice newsroom, sponsored of course by amac. This news break is brought to you by amac association of Mature American Citizens. The association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice for Americans 50 and older. AMAC is fighting for the values that you hold dear. Join today together we can right the course of America. The Winter Olympics opening ceremony gets underway today in Milan, Italy. On Thursday, Vice President J.D. vance met with members of Team USA in order to encourage them tell by the ratings from the Olympics. You can tell by the fact that it really brings the country together. Everybody is rooting for you guys and everybody's cheering for you. We're so excited to be here. This has been the highlight of my time as vice president to get to come to bring my family to root for the Olympic team. But let me just say, personally, I'm amazed by the combination of excellence, sacrifice and so I hope that you guys enjoy it. The country's current second in charge is following in the footsteps of his predecessors, Joe Biden in 2010 and Mike Pence in 2018. Former Vice President Kamala Harris didn't attend the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, though, because the Biden administration launched a diplomatic boycott of those games over human rights concerns in China. President Trump's Trump accounts for newborns and young children continue to gain more private support. The latest company to join the effort is Wall street giant Citi. Citi says it's going to match the Federal government's initial $1,000 seed money for its US based employees. Eligible accounts will be for kids who are born between January 1st of this year or of last year, excuse me, and December 31st of 2028. In its note to employees, Citi writes, and this is a quote, these accounts are intended to promote long term savings from a young age and provide children with investment assets that will grow over time. We're excited to play an active role in supporting the financial well being of families across the US President Trump's Trump Rx discount drug website is up and running this week morning. It launched on Thursday offering patients a new option for buying discount prescription drugs by cash instead of using insurance. The site is a key part of President Trump's efforts to lower health care costs. The Trump Rx website features discounts that the administration has negotiated with drug Companies like Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and others. While patients can't buy drugs directly from the site, it does link them to pharmaceutical companies direct to consumer purchasing platforms, or it links them to coupons that can be used at a pharmacy. That's a quick check of your headlines. We'll, of course, have more headlines coming your way in just a little bit. But now let's get a quick check of your forecast. By the way, go to our various social media platforms, be it getter, rumble, YouTube, let us know where you're hanging out. And who knows, you might be one of the recipients of our hometown forecast. In our next hour, the woman who offers those hometown forecasts, Tracy Anthony. Tracy, good morning. Hey, good morning. Speaking of hometown, this was early this morning here in Jupiter, Florida. My husband called me and was like, there's an iguana on the sidewalk. So it is cold once Again, I know we've been talking about falling iguanas now for two weeks. You know, this should be the last of it. But look at that. And our puppy even just sitting so good. But over 5,000 iguanas were turned in to the Florida Wildlife Conservation Unit over the last week. So 5,000, just an incredible number. So more falling iguanas here. Across the southeast, we do have a system that's moving across the Great Lakes and going to impact the Northeast with some snow today and some brutal cold wind chills here for the weekend. And out west, we do have an atmospheric river on deck. So more rain in the forecast, mainly for the Pacific Northwest, not areas south than the Bay Area. So for the big game over the weekend, it looks like they're going to have a nice forecast. I know it's a love hate relationship with the big game, but Terence, I don't know if you the team or if you don't watch if you do watch. But hey, at least the weather for it is going to be nice. All right, we'll take the weather. Yeah, my team is not in it. So I will be watching the all American halftime show, which of course is counter programming featuring Kid Rock and some other stars. I'll be tuned into that at the halftime of the big game. Tracy, always good to talk to you. We'll check in with you next hour for a quick check of our hometown forecast. Good to see you. All right, folks, up next, the talks between the United States and Iran are back on this morning. So what was the main hold up? We'll tell you right now though, a quick look at this day in history. 4 It was on this date in 1971 during the Apollo 14 mission that astronaut Alan Shepard made space history with just one big swing. Using a modified moon rock collection tool as a golf club, Shepard one handedly hit two golf balls on the lunar surface. The first shot was shanked into a nearby crater, but the second one flew a little bit farther, making it the only golf ever played on the moon. We're back in a moment. Welcome back to American Sunrise. Ukraine, Russia and the United States wrap up the second day of US Brokered peace talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at ending nearly four years of war. Diplomats say the discussions have been substantive, but no breakthroughs have been reached, with territorial claims remaining a major obstacle. Of course, both sides agreed to a reciprocal prisoner of war exchange, a rare concrete result as hostilities and attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure continue. The talks are expected to continue in the days ahead. Let's now bring in senior research fellow for the Heritage Foundation, Brent Sadler. Brent, how do you see this war ending? And are you more glass full or glass empty on this? Half empty. Knowing the tumult that is going on in this ongoing conflict, I don't want to be a downer to the whole thing, but I'm kind of like, right in the middle. It's a good thing to see these negotiations occurring. It's not the first time that there's been a prisoner exchange. Typically, it's done in the holidays leading up to Orthodox Christmas and the New Year. Both sides, both warring factions in this, the Russians and the Ukrainians, both share that same sensibility. But whether or not it's a moment that's going to turn the page, Putin did not honor his word with Trump to stop attacking the cities and the power grid that continues. And so it's not clear that enough pressure has been put on Moscow to really get him compelled to enter into a meaningful ceasing of the fighting. And unfortunately, I think there's going to be some harder actions against Russia's economy on the high seas, their oil, for example, and also more pressure applied to Beijing, India and perhaps even Turkey to stop buying Russian petroleum. Brent, the term exercise in futility comes to mind when I think of the ongoing negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. It's a similar thing when I think of the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran. Axios has this headline which reads, US Iran Nuclear Talks Back on After Arab leaders lobby the White House. The talks are now happening in Oman instead of in Turkey. Nine countries have reached out to the United States to ask them to come back to the table and have these conversations again. Is all of this simply an exercise in futility? Is it going to really bear any fruit? Well, there's a lot that's changed. I'm not sure the talks are going to be the solution. I think the Iranians are really honestly just trying to bide for time. And that's certainly not gonna stop the hammer that's being formed right now of US Military forces from coming down on them, if that, in fact, is what they're playing for. Cuz patience, quite frankly, has run out. And all of the advantage right now for turning the page historically on this theocratic dictatorship and international supporter of terrorism. The time is now for the people of Iran to take their own future in their hands. So the talks, there's some interesting new things that are happening in there, but I give it small odds unless the Iranians change their. Their game plan. What is catching your attention? What's interesting to you in terms of what's developing in those talks? Well, in the lead up to it, you had a number of European nations designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, backing us a more forceful position in the United States, not sanctioning explicitly military action. You had other Middle Eastern countries responding that if Iran attack them or try to get to the US Forces and thereby attacking their territory as in response to a US Attack on Iran, that they would retaliate in kind. And so those are some interesting developments that I'd never seen or has not been very pronounced in the past. Certainly a more united front, a forceful one standing up to Iran. And I think that's a factor. You know, the reality that this regime in Tehran is on its last legs. Okay, Brent, moving over to Taiwan for a moment. Their president says ties with the United States remain rock solid following a phone call between President Trump and Chinese leader Jinping Xi. Jinping Xi urged Trump to be cautious about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own territory. According to Chinese officials, Taipei said cooperation with the US Will continue even as Washington moves forward with a historic multi billion dollar defense package. Trump called the conversation excellent and is expected to visit China in April. So, Brent, what's your take on this and what do you predict going forward? Well, the caution is that the US Side should not be taken in by promises of a changed behavior or benefits coming from trade with Beijing. It comes with lots of strings attached and certainly it doesn't help Taiwan defend itself. So there needs to be a separation of the arms sales into any other type of bilateral deals and negotiations with Beijing. These arms sales are moving ahead. Hopefully it's not helpful that the parliament or the Congress in Taipei. Also, the opposition party pulled back a sizable defense budget increase. Sends a confusing message to D.C. at a very critical moment leading up to the summit in April between Trump and Xi Jinping. Brent Sadler, thank you so much for your expert analysis here. We really appreciate it. Thank you very much. All right, coming up, we're going to talk Medicare because a lot of people aren't getting the full story. Most Medicare agents push Medicare Advantage plans even when they're not, right? Why? Because that's where the money is for them. But seniors are paying the price and that's what makes Medicare chapter different. They walk you through original Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage and Part D with the pros and cons all laid out for you so you can make the right call for your own health needs. Donna said her chapter advisor walked her through every option and explained everything in a way she could actually understand. Plus, they saved her thousands of dollars. So that's key. So if you are on Medicare or you will be soon, call 814 Chapter 814 Chapter. That way you can learn about enrollment options and find ways to save moneys. And it's free, it's quick. And they can review your options in under 20 minutes. Most people wish they called sooner, but you will, too. All right. Up next, could a push for healthier food be lowering your grocery bill? The Trump administration says its Make America Healthy Again initiative is pressuring Big Food to cut those prices, including recent moves by PepsiCo. But are all costs really coming down? We're going to talk about it. Those details just ahead. Stay with us. Welcome back to American Sunrise. Couldn't get sunnier song than that in our background right now. Go to Real America's music for that. Thank you for joining us. It is time now for today's health news. It is sponsored by the Wellness Company and under the microscope to today, how the MAHA movement has brought your food prices down. According to reports, President Trump's Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA initiative led by Health and Human Services secretary Bobby Kennedy Jr. Has created market pressures that have helped push some grocery prices down. These include recent price cuts from big food companies like PepsiCo. Grocery prices rose just 2.4% for the year ending in December, far below food at home inflation during the Biden era. Needless to say, the administration points to policy shifts, including healthier food focus, removal of certain ingredients and changes to federal nutrition programs as part of the shift in the food market. Critics, though, say that some costs remain high, like meats. And industry groups push back on new rules affecting sugar and snack products. You know, but you can always buy your food from a local farmer. Sometimes it costs a little more, but it's a little more, a lot more nutritious. And you don't have to worry about all the health risks. And we need to get to a place again in this country where our local farmer food is more affordable to us than what's in the grocery store. February is National Cancer Prevention Awareness Month. Now more than ever, we need to be asking what each of us can do to lower our chances of cancer.

Unfortunately, in my life, I've waited till it's too late too many times. So go on and make your order right now. And those are some really good supplements that you can take advantage of. Thanks, Dr. G. Authorities released a brand new update today, or actually yesterday, in the search for Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing in Arizona for a couple of days now. Investigators say there are no suspect to no confirmed ransom demands at this point in time. The FBI has joined the case and is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to her location. Anyone with information is asked to contact the FBI as the search continues. Joining us now with analysis is the founder and chair of the board of the wounded blue, and that will be lieutenant Randy Sutton. Randy, good morning to you. Appreciate you joining us. As you watch all of this unfold. What are some of your questions? What are some of the red flags. Excuse me. That have been raised in your professional opinion? Go ahead. Sorry. No, this is. This is a really disturbing situation taking place down there in Arizona. We have watched since Saturday or actually Sunday. This. This playing out with the kidnapping of. The abduction of Mrs. Guthrie. We've seen the pain from the family in the. In this devastating video that. That the family put out. And the unfortunate reality is that the law enforcement down there appears to be. When I say the word clueless, I mean this in the. In the most real terms, seems to be clueless about her whereabouts or about any of the actors that might be involved with this. We've seen that. That the. The scene itself was under law enforcement control, then it was released and it was returned back to law enforcement control. We've seen some disjointed press conferences by the sheriff down there. The reality now appears that the FBI is playing a major role in this investigation, and I think that that appears to be a good thing for the family. But at this point, this is a true whodunit. And they don't seem to have a whole lot of clues when it comes down to who the suspects might be. Yeah, it's so interesting. I believe there are 8,000 different police precincts across the country and they vary in their level of expertise in terms of do they know how to take on, you know, when we hear about there were blood stains on the porch that were left and media was going up there and filming them and things like that, when this should have been a taped off crime scene. I mean, I'm not a police officer, but even I know that, Lieutenant. So I saw John Ramsey interviewed, Joan Bonet, Ramsey's father, interviewed about this. And he said the number one thing that they didn't realize was that they could say, hey, bring in all the national resources, you can bring in the FBI. When it's a kidnapping case, you can immediately bring in the FBI. There's a lot of turfiness sometimes in some of these police departments. Talk to us about what they're doing behind the scenes right now, Lieutenant, and what families should know, God forbid, if they're ever put in this position. Well, it's pretty clear to me the FBI was brought in very, very early. I don't think that there's any turf wars going on here. They brought in the experts. When it comes down to forensics, forensic abilities, the FBI is unparalleled. They have many more resources, both in the, in the forensic area as well as the digital and technological area. So they were brought in very, very quickly. Now, when it comes down to what you, you referred to as the scene being, you know, basically open to the public, I mean, it is a little baffling, I got to tell you. I, I, I was a little shocked by it, but I've also been shocked by the, by the disjointed sheriff's commentary. I mean, at first he was, he made some comments about evidence that was found and then he walked it back and said, well, no, it really didn't happen. I, I'm a little, I'm a little baffled by that. Well, he's a politician running for office. He's an elected sheriff. I don't know if that plays, but it could. No, you're right. And, and I, I'm not going to get into what I've been hearing about him, but let's just say that, let's just say that, that I'm very glad that, that there is a, a major federal response here. You saw that the President of the United States also, you know, made his own commentary and. And. And committed assets from the federal government. Yeah. So I think that will. That will take this case over and get some things going. Right. But we are out of time. I'm so sorry, lieutenant, but thank you so much for being with us today. We'll have you back soon. Okay, thank you. Thanks so much. All right, coming up, the super bowl halftime show turning into a culture war like everything else pretty much right. As the NFL spotlights pop star Bad Bunny.

And today we are discussing the Super Bowl. The super bowl halftime show is sparking a full blown culture clash while the NFL pushes pop star Bad Bunny as its official halftime act. Conservatives, we're fighting back. Turning Point USA is hosting an all American halftime event. This features Kid Rock and pro America country stars Calling it a patriotic alternative for fans tired of woke entertainment. Supporters say it's about faith, freedom and putting America first. Even on Super Bowl Sunday. I want to bring in our amazing RAV correspondent, host of Breaking Point, David Zier. David, which performer are you the most excited to see? Well, I like the lineup for the All American halftime show, that's for sure. Here. And by the way, it's great to see you. I'm on my way to Mar a Lago to support your Moms for America event. Thank you. I'm sorry I brought the cold weather down here to Florida from New York. But listen, I can't wait for Coco's fake national anthem, right? You know, to start off the Super Bowl. It's so crazy. And move over Bad Bunny. Cause I have an idea. Okay. They should have me do the halftime show with that crazy, angry, liberal, middle aged white woman who was sing songing to me that I was a badass man. So my gosh, Bad Bunny, what a great idea, right? And we could have had the woman that was like a rap anyway. They could just make it into a rap. Yeah, it would be great. And the woman who threw the drink in our cameraman Brandon's face, we could have her doing shots in the background. Ice repelling from the rafters, jumping in vans and leaving the stadium. Because Santa Clara, California has 27% of the Bay Area, seven counties, illegal aliens or 119,000 of them. So what a show. They should put me in charge next year. I think they should. I am pro that. Let's tell Zin Master. Yes. All right, David, tell us what you. I don't know if we're at that point yet. No, I think we can still talk a little bit more. So are you going to watch the Super Bowl? The super bowl itself? Yes, I will. And I'm participating with Rav. I don't know, I'm an AFC guy, so let's see where that goes here. But I'm excited about this lineup for the All American halftime show. You know, Lee Bryce, who played football at Clemson on a football scholarship. Brantley Gilbert, who was on the USO tour for our troops. And he also smashed a Bud Light can up on stage a couple of years ago. I think Gabby Barrett, American Idol, I think she came in third place in one of the seasons, met her husband there. So listen, it's so much better than Roger Goodell, you know, this liberal woke agenda. And I get it. Bad bunny had 20 billion live streams. But he's from Puerto Rico. And even though he's an advocate for the people there. The United states citizens give $20 billion a year outside of our tourist dollars, Puerto Rico. And we spend trillions of dollars on health care, housing, and 20% of our federal prison system, at least, are illegal aliens. So what's the cost to the US Taxpayer? Why doesn't he care about that? And why isn't he grateful that the US Is there for Puerto Rico? Honestly. Honestly. That's the part that makes me so mad, too, the absolute lack of gratitude. All right, David Zier, thank you so much for your time. We'll see you on Breaking Point. Look forward to it. All right. Us too. Thanks for coming in. And I'll see you over at the Moms for America event at Mar a Lago here in just a minute. All right. As Black History Month continues, many are reflecting on the powerful role of faith and religion in shaping America's black community. From churches to civil rights, how spiritual leadership helped drive change, and why it still matters today. Quick programming note. Real America's Voice has launched a new must see show this week, 11pm Eastern. It's called After Hours with Alex Stein. You don't want to miss this. Here's a little preview. When the lights go down, the truth comes out. This is built like a chicken McNugget. But this is After Hours with Alex Stein. No filter. You're a globalist. You don't care about a man. No apologies. You're a pro abortion when you should have been aborted. The undisputed king of trolling. I was recently sexually assaulted within the metaverse. I want to vaccinate your mom. They tried to cancel us. Deplatforming works. She wants to kill babies, but she's still beautiful. Look at that booty on aoc. That's my favorite big booty. Latina politics, culture, hypocrisy. They want them to have their penises cut off uncensored and uncontrolled. Cut your penis off. That's what I'm saying. They admit they want to cut people's penises off. Late night just got dangerous. After hours with Alex Stein. Coming soon to Real America's Voice. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Welcome back to American Sunrise. Always good to have you along for the ride. It's now time for our Moment of Faith, which is brought to us by Lee Greenwood and the God Bless the USA Bible. This morning we're starting a conversation about segregation among people of faith. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Famously said that 11 o' clock on Sunday morning is the Most segregated hour of the week. While there's been a rise in multicultural congregations in the decades since Dr. King made that statement, how far has the faith community really come in terms of worshiping and praying together? Let's bring in the pastor of the 180 Church in Detroit, Michigan, Dr. Lorenzo Sewell or Pastor Lorenzo Sewell. Pastor, always good to see you. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I'm so Holy Ghost. Happy to be with you, my brother. Well, we are happy to have you. Let me just start the conversation there. How far do you see our faith community having come since Dr. King said those words in terms of really uniting and praying as the body of Christ, not just the body of a racially segregated Christ? Yesterday I was with the President of the United States of America, the most pro life, pro faith, pro church, pro Christian president of our history. And he had every nation, every tribe, every tongue with him. Yesterday we were all calling on the name of the Lord. And I'm telling you this, Terrence. We are fulfilling the very prayers of Jesus. Jesus said that we would be one so the world would know that he was sent. I have seen, particularly in the Republican Party, an embracing of people like me and embracing of people of faith and embracing of those that call on the name of the Lord out of a pure heart. And I'm so grateful, and I really feel like I've been hugged by heaven to see what God is doing through our president as it relates to bringing every person together. It's Black History Month, and because of this month, it reminds us how far we've come as it relates to us gathering together, praying together. Dr. Martin Luther King said we should struggle together, we should pray together. He mentioned that we should go to jail together. And that's the greatness of America. Right? It doesn't matter what color you are. It doesn't matter your social, economic background. A kid from the east side of Detroit can begin to pray for a president only in America. You know, studies show that the percentage of congregations where no single racial group makes up more than 80% of the membership has almost tripled since the late 1990s. Are you seeing that even there in inner city Detroit, which, let's just be honest, it's not necessarily the most homogenous city. There are parts of Detroit that are racially segregated as well. But are you finding that on Sunday morning, you're getting a confluence of people coming together to praise the Lord? This is a very good point, Terrence. Until the president came to my church, we were all black church. But after he came to our church, Listen to this. We've had 10 nations. I want you to think about that. 10 nations have not only come to our church, but we've had people stay at our church, every tribe, every tongue, every culture. So me personally, although I'm in a context right, that is typically all black, we've seen people come from all over the world to fulfill the prayer of Jesus. Jesus said that he prayed to the Father that we would be one so the world could be able to see that the Father sent the Son. So I'm seeing it every day in my life. And how are you working to attract more people from even outside of your community or even those who live in your community to feel welcome and to find a home at your church? You know, I'm keeping the main thing, the main thing right when we talk about the gospel, when we talk about the good news, right? We're all sinners. We all fall short of the glory of God. All of us have to deal with the fact that we've all fallen right? And we need the grace of God. We need the power of God. We need the name of Jesus. And compassion transcends color. Compassion transcends culture. When you feel the compassion of Christ, you can reach anyone, anytime, anywhere. Amen. We'll leave the conversation there. Pastor Sewell, always good to see you. Have a wonderful weekend. And I might even go online and watch a service on Sunday. Looking forward to it. Always good to see you, my friend. Thank you, my brother. God bless. Bless you as well. We're back with the second hour of American Sunrise. After this, I dance to Rosalita. Coming up on this. Coming up on this second hour of American Sunrise, President Trump rolls out Trump rx, promising deep discounts on dozens of common prescription drugs, a new website, new prices. And the White House says this is just the beginning. We'll talk about talk about it and all you need to know. That's straight ahead. Plus, the search continues for the missing mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie. The investigation now enters day six as authorities say it's likely she was abducted from her own home. The very latest developments for you ahead. And then later, more bad news for Democrats as we inch closer and closer to this year's midterm elections. New polling data suggests a strong majority of likely voters support President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. We'll break down all the numbers for you. That and so much more ahead right now on the second hour of American Sunrise. Good morning America. Welcome to American Sunrise. Whether it's culture. We have breaking news to share with you. Politics. President Trump is joining us live now from Florida. We've got you covered. This is what it looks like to be a patriot. We have to protect the American family. The American dream is still alive. I'm David Brody. I'm terrence. And I'm Dr. Gina. Welcome back to this second hour of American sunrise. I'm Terrence Bates. I'm in our Denver newsroom. Let's bring in Bo Davidson. He's in for David Brody, but also in our West Palm studio. Bo, good morning to you. Welcome, Dr. Gina. You saw last hour. She has left the show for the rest of the morning as she has another event that she's hosting. It's a busy day here on Real America's Voice, but a super busy weekend ahead and it's going to be highlighted by the all American halftime show. Bo, I know you're looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to Kid Rock rocking the, rocking the stage. Absolutely. You've got Brantley Gilbert. You have Lee Brice, who I think is actually an amazing country singer, Gabby Barrett as well. This is very interesting. You know, Turning Point has talked about this, Terrence, for a long time. And I was wondering, are they going to be able to pull this off? Is this actually going to happen? And indeed, it does seem that it will be. I know Rav will be covering this. We've got some special plans for that underway. But I think it's going to be great. You know, I think for all too long, Terrence, that we waited for an alternative is something that people don't necessarily want to see. I think with the bad press that Bad Bunny's been getting for what he's planning on doing, it's nice for people to have an alternative. This is a democracy. This is capitalism. We need to have alternatives. And here we go. Do you think that from now on, this will really kind of set the stage for more streaming services or even for real America's Voice to continue counter programming to the big show halftime show. Because the reality is some years are misses and not people aren't necessarily interested. And so there's an opportunity here. There's a niche that can be fil. I do. I think so, Terrence. I mean, look at all the alternatives that you have in streaming. There's so many different alternatives that you have both in terms of video and audio. Let's not forget Real America's music, kind of the behemoth they're going up against, which is the music industry, the Grammys what we just watched Ice out on everything. There needs to be an alternative, and I think that's what we're seeing. This marketplace start to open up with different people coming forward, different voices. That's what we're about. We're about democracy. You must raise your voice. Lift your voice up. And I just think more voices need to be heard. So between what real America's voice is doing, real America's music, I just think this whole operation has been amazing in terms of the diversity that it's giving people. So you're right, Terrence. It's setting a new paradigm that's gonna be shifted. And I think we're looking good. All right, so look, you and I, we're gonna practice over the next year, and then we're gonna have our duo. There's Peaches and Herb hall and Oates, and then there can be Bo and Terrence. We'll practice. I'll even let you sing lead. How about that, my friend? I appreciate that, Terrence. I do appreciate it. I'll bring my guitar, and Kazoo will be ready. There you go. And I'll just bring me. That's it. That's all I got. That's all you need, man. All right, let's get to a couple of quick headlines here really quickly, Bo. The Winter Olympics opening ceremony gets underway today in Milan, Italy. On Thursday, Vice President J.D. vance met with members of Team USA to encourage them, the country's current second in charge, following in the footsteps of his predecessors, Joe Biden in 2010 and Mike Pence in 2018 by going to the Winter Olympics. Former former Vice President Kamala Harris, however, did not attend the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing because the Biden administration launched a diplomatic boycott of those games over human rights concerns in China. President Trump's Trump accounts for newborns and young children continue to gain more private support. The latest company to join the effort is Wall street giant Citi. Citi says it's going to watch the Fed or it's going to match. Excuse me. The Federal Government's initial $1,000 seed money for its US based employees eligible accounts will be for kids who are born between January 1st of last year and December 31st of 2028. And President Trump's Trump RX discount drug website is up and running this morning. It launched on Thursday offering patients a new option for buying discount prescription drugs by either cash or instead of using insurance. The site is a key part of President Trump's efforts to lower health care costs for Americans. The Trump RX website features discounts that the administration has negotiated with drug Companies like Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and others. That's a quick check of your headlines. We'll, of course, have more headlines throughout the show. But now let's get a quick check of your hometown forecast from Weather Nation meteorologist Tracy Anthony. Tracy, good morning. Hey, good morning, Terrence. We got a good a couple forecasts from yesterday, too, that we missed. So wanted to get them in because Connie in Beckley, West Virginia, going to be dealing with a good amount of snow. So she had freezing fog yesterday and now 4 to 8 inches of snow in the forecast. So they're gonna be dealing with the snow, the gusty winds and the cold arctic air that's working on through for the weekend. Now let's take you down to Weeki, Wachee, Florida. I think I'm saying that right. Like to fly. Let me know if I'm not. But this is along the nature coast of Florida. Still a little chilly today, but we're back in the mid-70s by early next week. So that's that warming trend that's in the forecast. And out west, loveland, Colorado, this 60 degrees, beautiful. You've had such nice weather. But those temperatures are going to dial back a little bit here next week. But look at overall across the country, country by February 11th or so, we're expecting to almost all be trending above average. So here's that warm up we've been waiting for, Terrence. All right, Looking forward to it. Thanks, Tracy. Have a great weekend. I'll see you Monday. Hey, you, too. All right. Well, President Trump is rolling out what he's calling one of the most transformative health care initiatives yet. He unveiled a new website called TrumpRx.com it's designed to slash the cost of some of the most commonly used prescription drugs out there. Here was the president announcing it last night. For years, politicians from both parties have promised to bring down prescription drug prices and make health care more affordable. But they all failed. It was all words, as usual. They failed and they failed badly. They tried doing this, some of them, most of them didn't even try because they never really had a shot at it. But I'm actually getting it done. And it is done, actually. All right. Let's bring in Florida Congressman Jimmy Petronas in Florida for more to talk about all of this. Congressman, welcome. Always good to see you. So look, I hate to be that guy, but the reality is a large part of your population there in Florida are senior citizens who are using these sorts of medications and who are having to make those decisions sometimes between groceries and medications because the cost has traditionally been so high. So I'd love to get your thoughts on what President Trump is doing here. So Trump is doing what Trump does best. He uses his bully pulpit to get transparency to directly to the consumer. And this is what he's doing. He is taking out the middleman as he is going to try to make the good generic drugs and then also a lot of non generic drugs in a competitive transparent format on a website, which you know what, that gets the attention of all the players in that space, all the distributors, all the manufacturers, anybody who wants to be in favor of trying to take advantage of his transparency, they're going to have to have a low price in order to be on that website. Indeed. Congressman, I think it's very interesting what he's doing. I was looking over the website earlier and it's pretty amazing some of the things that the cost that can come down when you use most favored nature. So this is common sense. It's been, I think, long overdue. Want to shift your attention, Congressman, to the House, of course, where you sit. It's set to vote on the Save America Act. The bill would require all states to check for both citizenship status and photo identification before allowing voters to cast ballots in elections. Democrats have been fiercely opposed to this measure. So Congressman, what's the likelihood that this bill will pass the House as it stands right now? Well, I think it will pass the House. The SAVE act has already passed the House twice. The Save America Act's got a little extra provision into it regarding a citizenship check also at the time that the voter registration is provided. So we probably, if I'm a betting man, we're going to jam the Senate. We're going to get it out, we're going to send it to the Senate and the Senate's going to have to deal with this. And whether it's to break the filibuster or they're going to invoke cloture, this will be sent over to the Senate as we're, we're done playing and it may get attached onto something that is going to be a must have bill. So we'll, we'll wait and see. But it's, it's too important. Our elections are too important. It's the single most important right that you've got and we need to make sure that we ensure that there is integrity in the voting process. Congress, now that you and your colleagues have gotten the appropriation bills over the, over the Final hurdle and signed, you're able to shift your focus to other business. What is that business? Where is the focus right now? And I realize that you guys can do more than one thing, but I suspect that some of the focus or some of the hopes of the body is probably pointed in one direction. Sure. So look, we still feel focused on getting health care prices down. Obamacare is broken. This is something that Speaker Mike Johnson was focused on what to do this year. But as you continue to have disruptions from the Democrats because all they've got is to try to find a way to fight against the President because they have no solutions. Me personally, I'm going to push the PROTECT Act. We want to repeal Section 230, want to transparency and remove the liability protections that big tech and AI has been standing behind that's been poisoning our kids. It's a digital fentanyl. So I mean, there's going to be a number of pieces of legislations in play, but the Save America act will be a priority. Health care is going to be a priority. Me personally, we're going to work on protecting our children. Congressman, I want to turn your attention to something we talked about last hour and that's the public testimony of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Are you for that? Do you believe that that transparency is necessary? And if so, what would you expect to be seen in terms of what should be asked of them that the public needs to know? Yeah, look, the Clintons thought they were above the law. You know, they were subpoenaed and requested to come testify in Congress. They, you know, tried to say that, you know, they were not available, that they were above this. And then ultimately we were going to find them in contempt of Congress. We got their attention with that. So now they're going to come around to again, I love transparency. As long as transparency is in play, the public has nothing to be concerned about. They can come to their own conclusions because they see the facts for themselves. Representative government digging into the issues and especially just like the image you've got with the Global Initiative that they have got, how much of the money that they received through the Global Initiative was tied to Jeffrey Epstein and was it clear and transparent and were there strings attached and was there anything criminally involved? I think the public should deserve every opportunity to get to the bottom of it. CONGRESSMAN, really quickly, 15, 20 seconds. As we look forward to the midterms, are you at all concerned about you and your colleagues being able to keep, being able to keep your majority? Obviously the results in Texas have given some people pause recently, what are your thoughts? So when you pass legislation like the one big beautiful bill, the true impacts of it are not going to happen overnight. So you're going to see probably the first real wave. We've already seen relief in gas prices that are historic, but you're going to see the first real impacts of the one big beautiful bill with tax day after April 15, as those tax refunds start coming out. The American public cares about the economy. They care about balancing their budget and the household budget. It's not going to fix overnight. But the one big beautiful bill has put so many things in motion that ultimately, once it starts to really hit the household, we will then make sure that we have the policies out there that are showing that we care about making sure that our citizens spend their money better than Washington, D.C. does. Congressman Petronas, we'll have to leave it there. Appreciate you being here with us. It's always a pleasure. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Congressman. Thank you. Coming up, we're going to be talking about the latest developments in the search for the mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie. The very latest in the facts ahead. Welcome back to AMERICAN sunrise. And we are continuing to follow the latest in the ongoing search for the mother of TODAY host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing earlier this week. The desperate search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84 year old mother of TODAY anchor Savannah Guthrie is growing more urgent tonight as family, friends and the entire community rally to bring her home. Authorities in Pima County, Arizona, say they believe Nancy was taken from her home against her will and they're now offering a $50,000 reward for any information that could help find her. Sheriff Chris Nano said today we believe Nancy is still out there. We want her home. Take a look. Well, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings release an emotional video saying they're ready to talk over to whoever may have taken their mother. Take a look. We, too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. Certainly heart wrenching, but we want to know what you think. So let us know on Rumble or Getter. Hop on and let your voice be heard. Well, coming up on American Sunrise, voters are sending a clear message on immigration and the numbers aren't subtle. A new national poll shows strong support for deportation and for keeping ICE fully funded, including from independents and swing voters.

Welcome back, everyone. We're getting ready for the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It's set to ring here in just a few minutes. We, of course, will take you there live. Here's a look at the futures board. As you can see, the top looking really good. The Dow S P 500 and the NASDAQ all in the green. The bottom not luckily looking so hot. But again, we'll find out how it's all shaking out. Excuse me, I'm having one of those mornings. We'll find out how it all shakes out the moment the opening bell rings. We'll take you there live here in just a little bit. First though, let's get you over to Emily. Emily, good morning. Good morning. Thank you very much. Terrence. There is some new polling from Signal and it's Painting a sharp and politically explosive picture of how Americans see immigration enforcement heading into the 2026 midterms. A strong majority of voters, including independents and swing voters, say illegal immigration is a serious national problem and they want ICE enforcing the law. The numbers are clear. 61% support deporting those in the country illegally, 54% want ICE actively removing illegal immigrants, and 58% oppose defunding the agency altogether. Joining me now with more is GOP pollster and director of Client strategy at Signal, Chris Lane. Good morning, Chris. Thanks so much for being here with us. When you look at these numbers, what would you say is driving such strong support for ICE enforcement across independents and swing voters? Yeah, well, unfortunately for Democrats in the Trump era, there's a gap between what they and the media want to be true and what the data shows us time and time again. You just cited the overall numbers. But with swing voters, 64% support deporting illegal immigrants and 66% oppose defunding ICE. So if that's what the Democrats want to run on in this midterm, be my guest. Yeah, and it's certainly not going to work out well for them. How damaging do you think the defund ICE messaging can be for the Democrats if they do continue down that path into the midterms? Well, we tested precisely that at this point, the generic ballot is about D +3, D +4, depending on at what point you measure it. And for context, the country is historically about D plus 2. And in our big red wave in 2024, it was about R plus 1. So we're not that far away from it. But as soon as this idea of illegal immigration becoming okay again, the ballot actually swings entirely to almost R plus 2. So Democrats may think they are winning this temporary battle, playing on people's emotions, but the fact of the matter is they will ultimately lose the war because the American people simply aren't will with them. Yeah, that's so true. So what? Let's talk about the Republicans messaging then. What does this polling data suggest about how Republicans should frame immigration as a campaign issue leading into the 2026 midterms? There is no doubt that what has happened in Minnesota has had an effect on people. And no one wants to see loss of life. But voters also ultimately feel, even in very blue places that I polled recently, that this is simply a symptom of an open border for four years. And this is the unfortunate price we have to pay in order to get back to where we need to be. So while no one enjoys the turmoil, people Understand that this is what has to be done. So Republicans need to stay pragmatic on this, stay the course and not retreat, because, frankly, that's not what the American people want them to do. Absolutely. And, you know, immigration is one thing. You know, your safety as an American is always at the front of your mind. What other topics in all of the polling data that you've been seeing, what other topics do you think are going to be at the front of the minds of Americans as they cast their ballots in the midterms? Yeah. So, I mean, President Trump and Republicans in 2024 won on two issues and two issues alone, illegal immigration and affordability. And last year, illegal immigration, President Trump was viewed as a home run on this issue. In fact, illegal immigration started to drop as a major concern because people saw the problem as solved or being solved. And obviously, it's come back into full view because of Minneapolis. But ultimately, this election will come down to affordability. President Trump made promises about gas prices that are coming true, about grocery prices that are coming true. And we just need to build on that momentum in order to combat the media and Democratic narrative that he has not delivered on that. And I think what happens with the economy between now and November will ultimately decide how the midterms play out. Absolutely. The affordability. That's the word that I keep hearing that I think that the Democrats are going to be keep repeating on the campaign trail as well. What do the Republicans need to do for their messaging on affordability leading up to November? Yeah, just tell the truth. I mean, the fact of the matter is Democrats printed money for four years caused ridiculous inflation, and we're digging ourselves out of that hole, and we just need to be able to stay the course. And the other big thing that we need to keep an eye on is, up until recently, people blamed Democrats for inflation, and now that is almost a 5050 battle. And so if Republicans are able to solve inflation over this period of time, or at least greatly diminish it, it positions them much better to make that argument heading into the midterms. Absolutely. And I think about foreign policy as well, too. You know, that's something that we're not even talking about, but something that the Trump administration has really focused heavily on. Do you think that that is going to play a significant role in swaying voters as they vote in the midterms? Yeah. What we measure all the time is, sure, we want to know what people tell us is popular, but more importantly, what's effective of actually moving voters from one place to the other. And the Number one way to make an effective message is to make it about the voter. How does this affect me? And so the situation in Ukraine, the situation in Gaza, people have grown tired of paying other people's bills, and that is ultimately how foreign policy affects them. So I think President Trump has had an incredible balance between making sure we're addressing issues that affect national security and not involving us in endless wars that cost trillions of dollars. Do you have any predictions for the upcoming midterms? I think with President Trump in office, it's so hard to keep up with all of the wins, all of the successes. Every day it's something, something new to celebrate with this administration. Totally different than when Joe Biden was in office. But what predictions do you have for the 2026 midterms? Is the success of this administration going to trickle down into other races? Well, if we were on cnn, I would tell you there's not going to be a single Republican in the House and Senate left. But we deal with facts and reality here. So what I would tell you is that compared to 2018, we're in a much better position than we were at that time. Trump's numbers are consistently still better today than they were almost his entire first term. So I do believe that ultimately, you know, it's going to be very close in the House, but the idea that we're on the verge of losing 3540 seats is simply not based in any numbers at this point. All right, Chris Lane, appreciate all your predictions this morning. Thank you so much for being with us. Thanks for having me.

That is where federal agents were deployed in large numbers following deadly incidents and protests. Well, we'll get the details coming up next. When the lights go down, the truth comes out. This is built like a chicken McNugget, but this is after hours with Alex Stein. No filter. You're a globalist. You don't care about America. No apologies.

Coming soon to Real America's Voice. Welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm Terrence Bates. Thanks for joining us this morning. We also want to invite you to join the conversation on get a rumble YouTube. Let us know what you're thinking. It's now time, though, to take the political pulse of America and the beat Today. Well, it has to do with President Trump signaling a shift in tone on immigration enforcement. All of this as his administration defends one of the largest federal operations in U.S. history. In a new interview, the president referred to reflected on the controversial deployment of thousands of federal agents to Minnesota. It's a move that came under intense scrutiny after two deadly confrontations between agents and anti ICE rapid response groups. President Trump says the events underscored the need for balance. All of this comes after border czar Tom and Tom Homan announced a 700 person reduction in Minneapolis and staff. Here was the president speaking on that issue on NBC. Mr. President, speaking of Minneapolis, what did you learn? I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough. These are criminal, we're dealing with really hard criminals. But look, I've called the people, I've called the governor, I've called the mayor, spoke to him, had great conversations with them. And then I see them ranting and raving out there literally as though a call wasn't made. Joining Emily Bowe and me right now to add some cowboy logic to this conversation is Donna Feduccia, host of Cowboy Logic here on Real America's Boys. Donna, good morning. Good morning, you guys. You know, the optics aren't great and that's really the problem when the mainstream media only tells half the story. Thank God for social media. You saw Alex Preddy and Renee Good, all the things that happened before and he was well known to ice. So it's amazing though how the deep state gets their useful idiots to do their dirty work for them. And that's what's so scary. You guys notice no problem in cities where the mayor and the governor said it was okay for ICE to come in. And it's funny I didn't realize this. The police take their orders from the mayor and the governor. So if you've got Tim Walson and all the other mayors in Minnesota saying no, don't cooperate, the police don't cooperate. But look at the cities where the police did cooperate. You've got crime down exponentially. I believe in D.C. i think murders are down 57%. You can't argue with those stats. And quite honestly, guys, I kind of thought that he should have invoked the Insurrection Act. I wanted him to get tougher. But if, if he wants to go this way, that's fine. But he still needs to be as effective as he was before. Again, the mainstream media doesn't tell you all of the rest of the story. Did they tell you about the illegal alien driving a tractor trailer that killed four Amish in a van in a head on accident earlier this week. I bet you didn't hear about that. I mean, our viewers probably do, but this is the problem. They pick and they choose what they want to force their narrative. And I think a lot of people are getting to the point where they're just not believing it anymore. It's crazy. And they're not believing it with the voting either. Yeah, Donna, you're so right. Because I'm from Memphis and I haven't lived there in a long time, but my mom still lives there. And you look at a place like that where there was cooperation, and you do see a red. Because unfortunately, Memphis is a town, I hate to say it, that has been privy to a lot of crime. And so when you have the cooperation, like you said, you actually see a reduction in that crime. Donna, I do want to shift your focus in the interest of time to Fulton county election officials who are continuing to press hard against the FBI. Earlier this week, county commissioners announced they are seeking the return of materials related to the 2020 presidential election seized by the FBI last week. This comes despite concerns raised at a recent hearing. Take a look at this and we start talking about election integrity. That's a major, major thing for anybody. I don't care about a Democrat. I don't care about a Republican. I care about election integrity. Stop blaming people. People always complain about politics and everything like that. Politics does not trickle down from the president. Stop blaming the president for everything. True, Donna. All politics are local. What's your take? Yeah, well, it shows that both Democrat, Republican, and Independents want election integrity to the tune of over 70% in many cases, like 95% when it comes to Republicans. The problem. What happened in Fulton county, and I think, I'm afraid that this is gonna be the case. They've had five years to do whatever they want with the ballots, and unfortunately, the ballots are the real thing that's gonna hold up in court. And we've had two elections ever since. What really could be looked at is the down ballot, unfortunately, which I think would show across the country a lot more congressional and Senate seats. But also the 2024 ballots are still there. They need to be held for 22 months. The problem is it all falls back on the Secretary of state. And who's that? Brad Raffensperger. So the fox is watching the hen house. I bet they want those. Those materials returned. But the problem is, where are the ballots? Do they have the ballots? We'll have to wait and see. Donna, always good to see you. Appreciate it. All right, Tell folks really quickly what they can expect on the show this weekend. I want to come to the Bond party, baby. North Carolina Senate candidate Don Brown, endorsed by Sidney Powell and General Flynn. He's got a win in North Carolina, folks, a very strong candidate. But we also have J. Sixer Derrick Vargo. He's making his debut on Cowboy Logic. Who's Derrick Vargo? He is the guy who was pushed off the ledge by the Capitol Police. This is unbelievable. He's speaking out finally after five years, all on Cowboy Logic this week. And you see it there, 6am and 9pm Eastern, and again on Sunday afternoon, 4pm Eastern time. We'll see you in the barn. Party. There you go. Donna, always good to see you. Give Don a big old hug for me as I know you will do. Thanks, guys. All right, let's change gears a little bit. Time now to hear from you, our viewers. Joining us now with the RAV chat room report is Rav, family member and chat room dweller, carefree Largo. I simply call him Care because he does care. Always good to see you, my brother. How are you? Good morning. I'm doing well. Terrence, how are you? Thank you for having me this morning. Always a pleasure. So what do you have for us? Well, you know, Super Bowl Sunday is almost here and the other day Emily Finn asked our viewers what they thought of the Bad Bunny halftime show. And one of our original Ravagers, the one and only Flashosaurus, jumped right in saying the NFL decision makers have caved to the Destroy America lobby. And I think he might be right. GI Ryan777 said, The ENFL has gone, woke up. What a shame. And I think everyone agrees with that. But Jimmy Ballinger hit it right on the head saying that he is totally watching TP USA halftime show on rap. And then the Rap Chat family will be there with you. We totally agree. It's going to be right here on RAV and we cannot wait. That prove that's going to prove to be a lot of fun, I think. Absolutely. Terrence, concerning. Well, Tom Holland, I noticed you guys mentioned Tom Holman just a second ago. And in the chat this this past week, there was a lot of talk concerning his decision to draw down the number of his people there in Minneapolis. And it was kind of divided. Whereas Bowser Roadkill, one of our favorites in chat, said, no, Tom, don't do it. He did not want to see that number come down. He was more with Donna. He wanted to see it ramped up, up. Whereas Gene Annie in the chat, who is again one of our favorites, she took a different tone, saying hooray, it will give the people a chance to breathe. And I think you can probably see both sides of that story. However, in as much as it comes to Sharia law coming to the United States, which is all part of the Minneapolis conversation now, we had one viewer, Ms. Chat, Mrs. Snap in the chats who was salient. She said, I refuse to follow any law that glorifies the removal of women's rights, allowing pedophiles, pedophiles to harm our most precious gift, our children. I will only follow the Constitution of the United States of America, founded on Christian values, standing up against the cult of Islam. It's a strong statement, but I think an awful lot of people in our chat back that statement up. At the end of the day, we are all praying for the city of Minneapolis, our nation and God's plans, His divine will for each and every one of us as we move forward. I also noticed you were playing the commercials earlier from Mr. Alex Stein and I gotta tell you, social media was extremely excited to see After Hours with Alex Stein and his unique take and hilarious take I might say on American Life. KT in the chat said it is the perfect after hours show for real America's voice. Dark seconded. That said, this show is great but best of all, my buddy Drawbridge in the Getter chat said I cannot imagine Carefree being able to quote from the after hours chat on American Sunrise. But brother, there you go. We just did it. Just another way of saying that it is a very new unique offering and if you long for the days of old fashioned late night talk shows, tune in tonight. I think you'll be very excited to just see the new Alex Stein show. It's going to be a big hit. How about Amazon Prime? I like it. Just my ego likes it because now I can be seen not just on our app or some of the other streaming services, but come on baby, I made it. Big mama, we going to Disneyland. I made it to Amazon Prime. Talk about that. Boy that is huge. Now you can see all of real America's Voice content. About 20 hours of live content each and every day on Amazon Prime Live.

And Carrie, you always put a smile on my face. Love you, brother. Have a great weekend. Love you, brother. We'll see you soon. All right, we'll talk soon. Coming up, we're going to be giving you an inside look at the new release by Real America's music. Singer songwriter Natasha Owens will join us to talk about that right after this break.

Today, the new song from Real America's music, the newest release dropped last night at midnight. Here's a very special preview. I dance to Rosalita. I shout it out. From powerhouse vocalist Natasha Owens, known for standout singles like Trump 1 and Somali Waltz, comes her brand new release the Boss released on Real America's music. This is the direct response to Bruce Springsteen's recent release, the Streets of Minneapolis. While Springsteen once branded himself as a voice of the working class, the Boss gives a voice to everyday Americans and reminds listeners who truly shapes the future. The real America's voice audience has the power to move charts and shake the industry. Download it right now, scan the QR code or search the Boss on itunes. Push it up the charts. Make them notice. Joining us now with more is chart topping recording artist and patriotic powerhouse Natasha Owens. Natasha, good morning to you. Good morning. How are you? I'm great. Well, tell us what inspired the Boss. I think we know what Bruce Springsteen put out. People are relatively aware of that. Give us the backstory and what inspired you to put out the Boss? You know, for decades, Bruce gave a voice to the working Americans. The factory worker, the veteran, the forgotten man. That's why songs like Born in the USA resonated so deeply. But working Americans are now living with the consequences of lawlessness in their communities. You know, Bruce's earlier music centered around people and not ideology. Today, it feels like its ideology comes first, and the victims are an afterthought. You know, ICE isn't just a. ICE is not a political slogan. It is law enforcement. And when we inhibit them to be able to do their jobs, innocent people get hurt. But he wants to put the victims of the Minneapolis street chaos in there. He doesn't talk about victims like Lincoln Riley are all the ones that have been killed by illegal immigrants that should not be allowed into this country. They need to go back. And so people ask me, why did I do this particular song? I was so stirred up last week when I heard Bruce's song, because music has always been for working Americans have heard themselves be reflected when reflection disappears. The other side needs to be brought. The other story needs to be brought. So I hope this song brings the other side of it. And there's a realization to Bruce. It probably won't wake him up, but he needs to be shaken a little bit. Yeah. And, you know, I listen to Streets of Minneapolis, Natasha, and I think it's a shame because. And this is just one man's opinion, but I thought it was not a great song. I thought it was poorly written. I thought it was poorly sung by someone who used to be influential, as you said, used to be the voice of the working man. I actually liked Streets of Philadelphia back in the day, but Bruce, to me, has let us down, musically speaking and spiritually speaking. Would you agree with that? He sure has. He has decided to hitch his post to criminals, to the lgbtq, to anything that is anti American and anti God at this point. And very disappointed. I used to be a fan, and so I know a lot of fans of Bruce Springsteen, former fans, and so this song really resonates with them because it gives them the voice. You know, they feel frustrated when they. When they hear a song like Minneapolis Streets, so I give them the words to be able to sing it and with a little bit of fun. You know, he said he put this out in, like, 24 hours, and it showed. I thought it was a very poor production, but we also put ours out within 24 hours too, so you can really tell the difference. Yeah. And I just want to ask you, Natasha, based on the boss that you just released and Somali Waltz as an example, do you expect to release more? I don't know if you want to call them pushback songs, awareness type of songs. Do you anticipate as the news cycle changes that you'll do more of those? You know, that's kind of where it's leading. Things get so ridiculous in the news cycle that you just can't make it up. And we sit back and like somebody needs to say something. And so we didn't expect when we put out Somali Waltz two weeks ago to hear turn around and release another one. But the other side, the democracy Democrats, always give us plenty of ammunition and plenty of topics. So stay tuned. Who knows what we're going to do next week? All right. Well, thank you, Natasha, so much. We actually have some breaking news now. We want to take you to Pam Bondi right now on screen. Let's take a look. He's deeply grateful for the relentless efforts of the Department of Justice and the FBI to bring justice to the individuals, the individual allegedly responsible for the death of Americans in the horrific 2012 Benghazi attack. CIA and the nation will never forget the extraordinary services and sacrifices of Tyrone woods and Glen Dougherty, who gave their lives in defense of others and exemplified the very best of our agency. I'd now like to turn it over to Director Patel for remarks and I again want to thank him for his relentless work in this case. General, thank you. And I want to steal one of your lines. Never forget. Pam never forgot the president never forgot this. FBI never forgot. And certainly US Attorney Pirro never forgot. When an act of terrorism of this magnitude strikes at the heart of our nation, we go to work. President Trump has given us the full resources at the FBI and across the inner agency to make sure we deliver justice. This and Pam, you're right. Dan and I did sit down early on about this to bring justice. But you led the effort. You brought together the interagency. You said we are going to get this done because no one agency alone can do it. So we are thankful to have an attorney general at the Department of Justice who works together with every single cabinet secretary and enforce the law. What you saw today and I want to get or what you're going to see today, I want to address in a minute. But I want to remind the folks out there the work of this Department of Justice. We were here just a few short months ago talking about how we were going to raise the RFJ for another violent offender on the Run Ryan wedding. And what did we do under Attorney General's leadership? And what do we do when President Trump said, go get the worst of the worst? We captured him. We captured together, under President Trump's leadership, six of the FBI's most wanted fugitives in one calendar year. To put that in perspective, that is two more than the entirety of the prior administration. And you cannot do that alone at the FBI. You have to have an Attorney General and a Department of justice willing to prosecute, willing to go to the four corners of the earth and make sure we deliver justice. And that's what we're doing here today. I was at the airfield with U.S. attorney Pirro earlier this morning when we did the formal foreign transfer of custody of Bakush into US Custody to face prosecution under her auspices. And her office and the Department of Justice are going to execute justice for the fallen. As a young prosecutor at CTS in the National Security Division, I worked on the Benghazi case. This was very near and dear and personal to me. We lost four brave Americans in Chris, Sean, Kyle, and Steve. And we can never, ever, ever forget them, ever. And we will not in order to put something like this together. It doesn't happen overnight. The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team, the FBI's Critical Incident Response Group, our Special Flight Operations Unit, and countless others, along with the agents in the New York field office who never forgot Benghazi and never let the world forget it, endured over a decade to bring yet another terrorist who killed four Americans to justice. That is a relentless pursuit of mission that can only happen when you have an inner agency who's willing to get after it. I'm extremely thankful to the CIA and Director Ratcliffe and our other law enforcement partners for making sure that the world knows that if you kill an American citizen in an act of terrorism, we will hunt you down, we will bring you to justice, and you will face justice here in America, not in another court and not in any other proceeding around the world. But here, you killed our own. So we are going to take it to the streets to make sure you are held accountable. Once again, I'd really like to thank the entirety of the FBI headquarters divisions. There are so many moving pieces to actually execute a foreign transfer of custody. And now we're talking about the seventh, the third, in just a couple of weeks. And I don't know if that has ever happened before in US History. It's happening because President Trump backs the blue. President Trump has given law enforcement the resources we need to take the fight across the world and The Attorney General has been relentless in her mission to make sure that these victims are remembered and that we bring them some semblance of peace by bringing those who killed their loved ones to justice. It's a little full circle for me. Yes. Then Director Deputy Bongino and I did sit down and said, how are we going to get this guy? How are we going to find the individual responsible for the Benghazi attacks? And we sat down with Jeanine Pirro, and we sat down with the AG and her team and the Deputy Attorney General. And every single day, every single week, we talked about how we would do it. And we're here today because we have an interagency that is led by superior individuals who have one shared goal. Protecting America and our lives and our future. And to any others out there who wish to do harm, especially commit acts of terrorism here and around the world, this is the feat you will meet, you will not be forgotten by us. We will chase you down. And it is a privilege and an honor to be the Director of the FBI and come full circle for me. You've been listening to FBI Director Kash Patel, also the Attorney General there on hand as they're announcing a big bust in a case involving the deaths of American citizens. We'll have. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
