We have a lot to get to this morning. First, history unfolding in real time, day three of Operation Epic Fury, Iran's Supreme Leader, the Allatola Og Committee, is dead, nearly 50 other top leaders also eliminated the United States and Israel, striking at the heart of the regime. Celebrations erupting around the world as a dictator falls, but war is far from over. The State Department issuing a worldwide caution for American citizens. Never live with the very latest. Then back here in Washington, the White House, defending the strikes as necessary. But on Capitol Hill, a brewing battle over the Wars, the War Powers Act and what all of this means for the markets will be the latest as well.

3:03And in Texas, a deadly mass shooting in Austin now being called an act of terrorism, what investigators are saying this morning and why it concerns are growing about possible Iranians sleeper cells, all that, and much more on this money edition of American Sunrise. Start right now. Welcome to American Sunrise. Early edition. The show where faith, freedom and the values that built this nation take center states. 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, good morning, happy Monday morning to everyone. We've got a lot to get into before we go any further conditions on the ground can impact

4:05operations. Let's get a quick check on the forecast dealing with the region. George is now is ageing Hernandez. You've got a specific forecast for the Middle East and for Iran and the surrounding areas this morning. Yeah, Brian Glenn, early on this morning out in the Middle East, things are looking actually relatively quiet. You know, over the last 12 hours we've dealt with some cloud coverage, but at the very least, our troops aren't going to have to be dealing with any rainfall of any capacity because things are staying relatively dry. Temperatures wise, we're going to be anywhere from the high fifties a little bit up higher in elevation and then the low sixties out in places like Baghdad and then looking ahead in the forecast. Again, a lot of this is going to be up for grabs here, but we do have some precipitation or really some cloud coverage coming back. It is only reflectivity we're seeing on the forecast here or forecast modeling. Excuse me. So this could just be cloud coverage. It could be just a little bit of rainfall, but regardless, it's not going to be anything too out of this world. We're not looking at a washout condition. We're not looking at heavy, heavy snow anywhere across the Middle East, just potentially more cloud coverage for our troops that potentially deal with out there.

5:05But now across the lower 48, we're going to bring you back here, take you out to Kendall, Florida. This is a look on Sunday. We had some really, really stormy conditions down in Southern Florida. We also had wide out conditions out in Iowa City, Iowa on Sunday. We're still going to be tracking the remnants of that system as it continues to move. Eastward, looking at the Ohio Valley, we got lower temperatures. We are potentially seeing some snowfall in this region and then some really, really warm Southern temperatures with temperatures potentially getting up to the nineties out in Phoenix. And of course, it was a warmer temperatures down south with some moisture added on to that. We'll have a severe weather outlook. We'll have a large hail threat for portions of Oklahoma City. And then going into Wednesday, that risk will start to increase. We'll have a slight risk for Dallas and the main threats will be large hail and some damaging wind. So Brian, that's a better look at what's going on across the lower 48 elsewhere, though. Things are going to be looking relatively calm back to you. All right, Adrian. I appreciate it. We'll see you back on American sunrise here soon. Thank you. You got it. All right. Now to our top story. This is day three of a widening war operation, epic fury, expanding the US and Israeli forces

6:08striking more than 2,000 targets around Iran since Saturday, the Supreme Leader eliminated top commanders gone. Iran's retaliating targets, US bases and allied nations across the region, three American service members have been killed several others wounded. The conflict now spreads beyond Iran's borders with Hezbollah and Iran-backed militias joining us now as present Trump, saying that the strikes were necessary to in Iran's threat and calling on the Iranian people to seize what they've called their hour of freedom. Take a listen. To the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.

7:11All right. Joining us now is geopolitical analyst Brandon Wichert, senior editor at 1945.com, Brandon as far as his war enters day three, what's our impression of it so far? Well, it's definitely been relatively effective for the United States in the sense that we have been able to hit targets. The Israelis haven't been able to hit targets within Iran. We've gotten the Ayatollah, as you noted at the top of the hour. But we haven't gotten the kill shot in and I don't think we're going to. In fact, the real news that's not being talked about here is before the war began on last Saturday, the Pentagon assessed that we had roughly eight days of armaments for in the sent-com area of responsibility AOR. We have gone through now, as you note, three days of those eight days worth, which means next week, next Sunday or Monday, if this tempo continues, the sent-com AOR stockpiles

8:18will be depleted of critical interceptors and land attack missiles, the Tomahawks, which means if we want to continue the war, if the Iranians don't surrender and I don't think they're going to, then we're going to have to pull critical stockpiles out of the Indo-Pay Com area of responsibility, leaving our troops and our allies in Asia completely vulnerable to any kind of Chinese intervention. Therefore, this war, I think, is not going to end well for the United States if we don't get a conclusion within the week to the conflict and I don't see any conclusion on the horizon. You know, what's interesting when we all got the notifications on a Saturday morning early that U.S. forces had struck Iran and we were engaging in this battle along with Israel, I had to go back and think about what was said in the State of the Union, what has been the messaging from this administration prior to that point and we were all under the assumption

9:25that we were still negotiating and that there was still an option, but now we find out that this had been planned for months that they were going to do that. I don't think they ever had plans to finalize their negotiations. I thought they knew from day one they were going to make a strike with on our run. And this is what I've been saying every time I'm on your show when the issue of negotiations came up, I said it was a ruse. This is exactly what the Trump administration did last year in the run up to the 12-day war is they promised that, hey, we're going to go and get negotiations and then at the last minute, the Israelis and the United States then went on the offensive. I think it's important to understand how we got Ayatollah Khmani. You know, I'm not a fan of this regime, happy to see the Khmani and the regime go away. But how we got here was we told Khmani right before we clipped him that we're going to sign a temporary ceasefire and continue negotiations on March 1st. And then the Ayatollah who was hiding out in his bunker said, okay, fine, we're going

10:28to do that. And then he revealed himself coming out of the bunker. We knew he was there and we were able to kill him that way. So we've been using diplomacy as a canard to allow for us to target the regime's key leadership. But that's going to have very deep impacts, Brian, on our diplomacy and the rest of the world. Who could possibly trust the United States or at least the Trump administration when they say, hey, we want to go make a deal, Mr. Kim Jong-un or Mr. Putin or Mr. G. And then suddenly looking back at the recent history, these leaders realize, wait, if we go make a deal with these guys, they might try to blow us up. This is not good for American honor or for America's diplomatic strategy globally. And it's sometimes branded. It's really hard to figure out when you see videos online of these massive crowds on the streets in Iran that are celebrating. You don't know if they're celebrating the death of their leader or they're angry. And I sent a video to a very good friend of mine that grew up in Iran, sent him the

11:31video and said, what are they saying? He said, man, they're still chit and death to America. They're upset that their leader was killed. What's some of the feedback that you're seeing online as well? Are the Iranian people? Are they happy this guy has gone? Or are we being misled that they're actually upset? Iran is a country of almost 100 million people. It's a multi-ethnic and multicultural society. It's actually a lot like the United States in that way. Some people are happy, Kamani's dead, many others are not. A lot of the people, no matter who they are or what their politics are in Iran, are very upset that we're bombing them. And in fact, many of them are probably wondering, okay, you got Kamani. Why hasn't this ended yet? And so, I would not put my money on the idea that the Iranian people are just going to overthrow these leaders. The IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, took operational control over the country last summer during the 12-day war.

12:32The Ayatollah was a figurehead. Killing him made us feel good. It was a cathartic release after 40 plus years of hostility, but it doesn't actually end the conflict or weaken the regime. And that's another thing. The regime has not been weakened. It has been degraded, but the leadership remains in place. The key leaders and the people who have been killed, they've been replaced with even in some cases, deadlier, more ambitious, bolder people. So this is not having the intended effect, the Trump administration's policies here, which leads me to the last point I want to make here before we go on to the next thing, which is the mismatch of objectives. We have three objectives, regime change, getting rid of the nuclear weapons and getting rid of Iran's ballistic missile threat. Iran's regime has one objective, survival. And they know that by next Sunday, next Monday, our arsenal in the region is depleted and then we're scrambling, trying to figure out how we're going to continue the war. We are not going to achieve right now, at least two out of those three objectives.

13:35We might get them to reduce the nuclear weapons issue, which is what they were promising to do already. So getting rid of that regime so far is not happening and getting rid of those ballistic missiles will never happen now because the Iranians can't. Meanwhile, the Iranians win just by hanging on. Yeah. Brandon, let's get to the reaction of Magda that we've seen online and it is very mixed. We know that on the campaign, it was promised no new wars, no regime change, but also President Trump has always emphasized that they could not have a nuclear weapon. That's been pressed from really the very beginning in 2016 when Iran, what have you seen the reaction? What's the overall consensus from Magda about this escalation? Well, there's always a core contingent of Magda that will, that loves what Trump does, no matter what he does, no matter what, if it's a reversal or what, the trust the plan crowd.

14:35What is an incredibly shrinking group of Magda supporters? The rest of us, and I was an OG Maga guy in 2015 when he came down, I organized the scholars and writers for Trump letter back then. So I know, I have a very good pulse on Maga and most of the Maga people I know are confused and confounded. Why is he doing this? This was unnecessary. You know, I was on Badden show yesterday and Eric Prince was on before me, so I got to hear some of his comments and Eric Prince was one of the leading supporters of Trump said what I've been feeling and many Maga people feeling, why did we do this now? There was absolutely no reason to initiate this now. And now, you know, as Colin Powell told George W. Bush before the Iraq invasion, you break it, you own it. And this notion that, well, don't worry, there's no ground troops, doesn't matter, we're owning it. This is Trump's mess now and he doesn't have a way to clean it up and this really could blow back on him in many different ways and it may weaken Maga even more. Well, think about this for a second, Brandon, I know we got to wrap up.

15:38We're just months away from really kicking, getting into the campaign season for the mid turns. This was to get even messier. That can turn off a lot of voters. They simply will not come out and vote. That is a fact. I think that's already going to happen. I've already priced in the idea that we are going to see a Democrat sweep in November, which means they're going to try to impeach Trump and everybody around him. And at this time, they're claiming that there might be some kind of violations of the Constitution. So their impeachment could very well hold muster here, especially if the Republicans don't have the numbers in Congress to stop it. Yeah, Brandon, thank you so much. I appreciate it. I hope you put in some long hours. Thanks for getting up this morning with us. Yeah. All right. Coming up Wall Street gears up for a opening bell. It's going to be interesting. Then the very latest in the White House in Capitol Hill is more Americans are facing this morning. That much more here at American Sunrise after this.

Early edition, I am Brian Glant, thanks so much for having us. Good to have you on with us this morning. We're tracking the White House, we're tracking the markets, the latest in the Middle East. Join the conversation on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. Now to the markets. Wall Street is about to react to the events in the Middle East. Let's go straight to the business and market analyst's set of dents and set a good morning. What should investors expect as we head towards a very interesting Monday morning opening

18:53bell? Yeah, Brian, this is not uncommon when you see geopolitical unrest for markets, especially going into a weekend and leading into a Monday market open for there to be a large market sell-off. Now, the question really is, and I think we'll know this by, we'll call it 10 o'clock this morning, is to whether or not this sell-off is going to be a continuous process throughout the day, or was this investor's institutional investors repositioning their cash capabilities to invest in different stocks, right? We saw over the weekend and in early morning kind of pre-market trades, oil and gas, defense stocks, some of those starting to climb. So the sell-off that we saw over the weekend and effectively pre-markets, this really could be a repositioning of cash as the market becomes cyclical. Now, one thing I will point out. We saw that the 10-year treasury dropped below 4% on the yield. That's a big development because ultimately that could have positive impact on mortgage

19:56prices and other things. But I think right now markets will be in a reactionary mode to get cash on the sidelines ready to deploy depending on how long this whole series of events lasts. Now, when you got the notification set on Saturday that this whole war and exactly what it is started, what was your initial reaction as far as the long-term because I look at the momentum that we've had with the economy when we talk about inflation, the rate coming down and the affordability that now things have really subsided, now that we're entering an escalation with Iran, how much would this set us back as far as something really was to get messy in this escalation, how much of an effect that we have on the market in our economy, like the price of gas, it's way down. But are we looking at a spike going into summertime? Yeah, Brian, there's a couple of things to consider here and of course, my reaction

21:03was multifaceted as a human looking at any type of conflict. It's painful to see, but recognizing too that national security is a must. All of that to say, I think that there are a couple of key things that you think about. One is your long-term trajectory shifts a little bit, instead of thinking by 3, 6, 12 months, you kind of go into 3, 6, 12 days and you start to think about what is going to be the immediate reaction on currency exchanges. What does this do to the next Fed meeting? My sense is that if you were thinking that the Fed is going to cut rates in the next meeting, probably not going to happen now, just because a lot of this is going to have to stabilize out. So I think it changes the reactionary window of your mind when you're thinking about your money in the markets because there's so much uncertainty, you can get yourself bogged down and trying to overthink the things you can't control.

22:04Beth Dixon, thank you so much for joining us. I know you'll have a quick, you'll have a sharp eye on that bill when it opens up a little bit later this morning. Thanks, Brian. Thank you. All right, now, quick word for one of our sponsors, international disputes like Iran, inflation, rising, national debt, digital currency. There's a never ending list of reasons why gold has risen over 750% in the last 20 years alone and never ending list of reasons why smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals with the birch gold group. Now, more than any other commodity on earth, gold thrives during uncertainty, which is why it's crucial to have a balanced strategy. It gives you a piece of mind, given all the events that could impact the U.S., the economy, so see if holding gold in a tax shelter, retirement account is right for you. Birch gold group would help you convert an existing IRA or a 401k into an IRA in gold. Just text America to 989898, receive your free information kit on gold.

23:10There's no obligation, just useful information with an A plus rating from the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, let the birch gold group help you diversify with gold. So you can too have a piece of mind regardless of the uncertainty, text America to 989898. Again, that's America to 989898, do it today. All right, coming up, the political fallout here at Home Democrats and a handful of Republicans are pushing for a war power's vote. We're live on Capitol Hill and we're standing by for Pentagon press briefing. And at 8 a.m. streaming right here on Real America's Voice, we'll have that for you as America's sunrise. Early editions continues after this. Support for the show comes from public, the investing platform for those who take it seriously.

I think when you're diagnosed with cancer, you crave a semblance of normalcy, in control,

25:13and so work allowed me to be me. So I think it's really important that companies stay flexible. Cancer in a diagnosis can be all-consuming, but it doesn't have to be.

We want you to be a part of the conversation, just join us on Getter, YouTube, and Rumble. All right, as a situation in Iran continues to unfold, the bigger question now is, what comes next? Joining us now is former assistant secretary of state, Bobby Charles. Bobby, good morning. Good morning. All right, so what does success look like from here on out?

26:17You know, I think it's important to give a little bit of historical context here. This will be described as some sort of a hegemonic act, but I will tell you, this is a cry from within Iran, and there has been, there have been, cries from within Iran many times before. This is the first time it has actually been answered by the United States and by those that are hearing the cries of literally millions of people, 91, 93 million people in Iran, who are saying we are done with this theocratic tyranny. And so the first thing I'll just note is this is us responding to an internal outcry, just within the last four or five weeks, they've killed 30 or 40,000 of their own people. These people are sick and tired of being crushed. So second big point is I think this is really ultimately the end of the Iranian theological tyranny. I don't see how they survive this. The next thing I would expect is the IRGC, which is their revolutionary guard to probably split from within the minute that happens, everything changes inside that country.

27:22And I'll also add a couple of simple points. One is we are using technology, I think, that we have had for a long time, but have not used before. I will also note that I think Russia and China will stay out of this. They will be most concerned because they need to be about any internal uprising that this gives rise to in their own worlds. So I think they're going to be concerned internally. And that really leads to the last point, which is that we probably need to be internally concerned because there are always sleeper cells and we need to be aware of the potential for internal disruptions here. What do you think the realistic timeline on for the Iranian people to develop a new leadership? Because I've always heard that the existing leadership or what was the existing leadership was rather deep. And so taking out one or two leaders, or even 40 or 50, may not completely get rid of the ideological approach to their government. What's, what's, yeah, so they are a, yeah, so this is a radical Islamic state.

28:22They are unique in their radical and also in their military capabilities to support their radical ideology. You could argue that this is going to be a series of one, two, three, four, five, six as they get taken out one by one, which I think would happen. But I don't think that's really what's a foot. I think what's a foot is a big strategic change. We have not seen this in Iran's. This is as big a strategic moment, I think, as 1979 was, which brought these folks to power. In many ways, it has the potential. It does have the potential to spin out of control. You could see extended conflict where they basically lose their minds and shoot missiles everywhere. They have, they have, they have basically mid-range and short-range missiles for which we and the Israelis have a lot of defenses and the Europeans have some. They do not have a long-range missiles. So their missiles are not going to hit the United States. But I think they could, they could try to play this out as long as possible to survive. I don't think that's going to happen. I think at the end of the day, or let's just put it this way, in the final analysis, the

29:25strategic change is really what's a foot. And you can change the deck chairs on the Titanic. But the big event, I think, is occurring. I think probably what people are asking at home as they watch us play out, are we finally done with the narrative that Iran has nuclear weapons, or there are two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, and that we seem to be kind of baited into this conversation so many times. After this, can we finally say we are done with this, this terrorism state of Iran? I believe that we are on the cusp of that. And I credit Donald Trump for having had the tenacity, the courage, the foresight, and the strategic thinking to first hit the nuclear site and essentially disable it, if not indefinitely for a long time, and now to respond to the Iranian people, who by the way were supported in all the European capitals, Canadian capital, here in the United States,

30:25there were big protests in support of them. What's happening, Brian, is that their desire, their wish, their craving for freedom, where they have finally said that death itself is not a big enough deterrent for them to prevent them from seeking their freedom. That cry for freedom has been heard around the world. And really, it was heard by Donald Trump in more immediately than almost anyone else. I think he said, you know what, we need to be done with this state sponsor of terror, who has been pushing for nuclear weapons, has been pushing by the way for long-range missiles. We need to knock them out now and not have the world be terrorized in the future. And I think it was brilliant. Yeah, yeah, definitely a strategic move. Let's talk about, you mentioned before some sleeper cells here that could potentially cause harm to U.S. citizens on the ground here. There was, you know, obviously a mass shooting in Austin, the other night, Suspect had paraphernalia wearing a shirt basically with a raiding flag on it and property of a law, I believe

31:28that's what it said. What's your thoughts on potential sleeper cells popping up here in the near future? Yeah, so we have, there's no question there are sleeper cells in this hemisphere and they are tied to Hezbollah and formerly Hamas and some of the other terrorist groups. I would say that, you know, we need to keep our heads about us. These are not likely, they're going to be watching the news just the way everybody else is and they are going to see that for whatever, you know, impulse they have to react, that Iran is actually probably on its way down. And so that will probably deter some of them. The other thing I would say, and I'm running for governor up here, I'm up by double digits ahead of the entire field, but I will tell you right now, governors, I think, should be prepared for looking ahead. That means obviously state law enforcement. That means interactions with federal law enforcement, intelligence sharing, regional information sharing and being prepared if any event does occur. That event in Texas was, I think, kind of a harbinger, I think we need to be prepared

32:31for the possibility that we could get more, but I also think that we are prepared. I mean, law enforcement has long been prepared for this national guard is prepared. The military is prepared. And I think what I would like to believe is that St. Erhead's prevail, and if you see something, you say something, and at the end of the day, we end up in a much safer position than we've ever been before, because the Iranian nuclear threat disappears. Yeah, I agree. And the local police there responded in about, I think, under a minute. They were there on the scene. They know up and down six street. There's a lot of police activity normally, but very, I want to just say that they did respond swiftly. Hey, we appreciate your time this morning. If people want to get more information on your gubernatory run, what's the website for you? We are absolutely. I would love to have people go to bobbyformain.com. We are up by double digits. We are going to crush this and turn this state red and main, and that will be a true example of how you do it. This is a blue state that we're going to take red and we're on the way to doing that. But if you can give money to bobbyformain.com, that's the way to do it and get conservatism

33:35back in New England. Bobby Charles, thank you so much for joining us this morning. We appreciate it. Thank you, Brian. Thank you.

35:38that built this nation take center stage. All right, welcome back again to American Sunrise, early edition. I am Brian Glenn. So much you get to this morning that's head over to the Denver newsroom with the latest headlines with Terrence Bates. Terrence, good morning. Hey, Brian. Good morning to you. This Monday morning, of course, as you can imagine, starting off with talk about the current war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, Secretary of War, Pete Heigsef, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Cain, scheduled to host a news conference at the top of the hour to discuss the situation there in Iran. The duo will likely discuss arrangements for the soldiers who were killed in Kuwait as a result of retaliation attacks from Iran as well. At the moment, the military confirming three deaths and at least five people seriously wounded. The death toll comes as President Trump is warning, there will be more American casualties. We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude

36:41to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends, that's the way it is likely be more, but we'll do everything possible where that won't be the case. But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against basically civilization. And Brian, just in this morning, Kuwait has accidentally shot down three American F-15s. We're hearing that all six crew members were able to eject safely as for those casualties they were. They did happen in Kuwait again, affecting an army unit that oversees supplies and logistics. So Kuwait becoming a scary place to be, Brian, for U.S. military, including Air Force Army. Yeah, I mean, it was only a matter of time before we saw something like this and obviously our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the fallen soldiers.

37:47But just like President Trump said, there's probably going to be more, this is war, we're in a war. Absolutely. Don't be confused, this is absolutely war. We just want to put up prayers for all those service members and civilians who are working and serving over in the Middle East. We pray that they all come home safely. Back here at home, Brian, in your home state of Texas, this is a story everyone's talking about as well. The FBI investigating whether a deadly shooting in Austin is related to this weekend's attack on a run. Now I've got to warn you, folks, some of the video you're getting ready to see maybe disturbing to you, police say the man who shot and killed at least two people and wounded more than a dozen others was wearing clothes with an Iranian flag design on them and the words property of Allah on his shirt. You're looking at video of the scene and we're beeping out a lot of the cursing that was heard in this video amid the gunshots. The shooting also being investigated as a potential terror attack this morning.

38:49The gunman is among the dead after police shot and killed him. Now all of this went down in Austin's entertainment district early Sunday morning. The gunman initially drove by a bar and opened fire on a group of people who were sitting in the patio area. It was a drive by. He shot out of his window. He then got out of the car, Brian, and continued his rampage on people who were walking down the street. The Department of Homeland Security, Brian, is saying that the shooter is a 53-year-old who was originally from Senegal. He entered the Nyanid States in 2000 on a tourist visa and eventually married an American before coming a naturalized citizen back in 2013. Brian, I'm sure you probably know this area. Most people who've been to Austin, who know the Sixth Street area, it's an area like any college town that's got lots of bars and restaurants and that kind of thing. It's where many of the kids from UT Austin, the University of Texas, as folks in Texas call it, go to Hangout and just said that this sort of thing happens and the fact that it happened on the heels of the attack on Iran, obviously he's going to raise even more questions about

39:52potential cells that might be here in the United States. Yeah, my youngest son that goes to Texas Tech, sent me a message last night. This writer Harrington, he's a student there in the Austin area, it was kind of a memorial of the bar, bar stool, longhorn, put out was one of the victims there the other night and my son said, Dad, we were just there a couple months ago, that very club and that club or it's more of a bar, sports bar type, is it one of the nicer sections of Sixth Street area, lots of police activity is always there at night, just for the safety of everyone and I will say this, they did respond to this shooting in about a minute if I'm not mistaken. It's like 34 seconds, they actually responded so, Terrence, this is the world we've lived in now and since we've had this wide open border, obviously this was naturalized married a U.S. citizen, but you can only imagine how many more of these radical Islamic

40:52terrorists that's based on what it is are among us and you just got to have your head on a swivel, Terrence, wherever you go in public. Brian, I think we come from the same ilk because I just told my daughter, she went out Saturday and those are the exact words I said to her, I said, look, keep your head on a swivel, watch what's around you, watch who's around you, make a plan when you walk in any place, make a plan on how to exit, that's just what it is, that's just what you have to do in this day and age, particularly in this current environment. All right, Brian, before I let you go, it is Monday morning or before you let me go because this is your show, my bad. It's Monday morning and the question for you would be, do you know where the videos and the transcripts of Bill and Hillary Clinton's depositions as part of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation? The answer is probably no. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says, the closed door testimony from Thursday and Friday will be released as soon as the Clintons and their lawyers approve it. In the meantime, Congressman Comer is out with his own details about the former president

41:54six-hour deposition on Friday. Clinton testified under oath that he saw nothing and did nothing wrong when he associated with Epstein decades ago. Committee members also say that Clinton testified he never saw anything to make him think President Trump was involved with Epstein. With all that said, we are hoping that the video recordings and the transcripts of both interviews will be released as soon as today so that you can hear the interviews for yourself. Brian, I'm hopeful, not necessarily optimistic, but I'm hopeful, those videos will come out sooner than later. I agree. I agree. And it's nice to hear former President Bill Clinton kind of telling during that deposition that President Trump had nothing to do with that. The women that have come forward has said President Trump has had nothing to do with that. So it's kind of nice to hear a little bit of a backup on that, Terrence. Thank you so much. And we'll see you back on America's sunrise. Appreciate it.

42:55Thanks, Bee. Have a good one, brother. All right. Now to Washington. A war power's fight is now brewing, joining us now, national political reporter Neil McKay-Neill. This is going to get spicy. What's the latest on this war power's vote that's expected to take place sometime this week? Yeah, it's going to be very interesting because both Speaker, Mike Johnson and Majority Leader John Thun, both Republicans, have given constitutional air cover to the President with statements that they put out Saturday morning where they asserted that Congress had been notified and that the administration was fulfilling its obligations to notify Congress. And so the War Powers Act, it's there. It's on the books. It was passed over President Nixon's veto. Every President, Republican Democrat, has asserted that the War Powers Act is unconstitutional

44:00pretty much because of the back end of the War Powers Act where after 60 days or a 30-day extension, the President has an obligation to pull those troops out. And so, presidents have asserted that you just can't pass a law telling me that I have to pull troops out. And it also signals an enemy, hey, if we hang out for 90 days, we're good to go. So every President has said, including Trump, that the War Powers Act is not constitutional. However, it is interesting that Rubio, the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, he went to Capitol Hill, he gave notification to Congress, let people though, at least the senior leadership. And so we'll see how it plays out. My look at it, and I'm not an attorney, my look at it is that even though they haven't accepted the War Powers Act as legitimate, the White House has fulfilled its obligations, Brian. Yeah, it's always a fine line that they have to walk because you know if they were to

45:01go and make a full pitch for a war, it gets public, members, on both sides of the aisle, come together and leak information, why would you want to give our enemy any kind of heads up of what we could do? I've always thought this whole War Powers thing was a little, I think it compromised our national security, be honest with you, but I do think a lot of the members want it more, you know, kind of explanation, why they're doing this, to explain it to them, why this would be possible. Of course. Yeah. Well, you know, that constitutionally, right, we think of it in three branches, but I think of it as four, if you consider your House Senate Supreme Court president, the Supreme Court and the Senate, their real only power is to say no, whereas the initiative can be at the House or the president. And so it's like, but the House has all the great powers, taxing, spending and war.

46:02And so obviously, members of Congress in the House, they want to preserve those prerogatives and they expect someone to talk to them. I think the White House has gone out of its way to do that. It's not like they, you know, it wasn't a complete surprise. And it was also interesting that the Board of Peace was here right before this attack. So I'm assuming that all of those people who attended the Board of Peace, all those world leaders, they were briefed in that something was going to happen. And I was saying before that the final tell that the attack was intimate was going to be the USS Gerald R. Ford being on station. It turns out that the final piece before the attack was launched was that General Dan Raisin Cain fired the director of his staff, Admiral Clatcher. And so apparently there was some internal, internal squabbles or whatever reason, but to fire a three star Admiral, the day before an attack, that seems significant to me.

47:03And it turns out that was the final piece before the attacks went forward, Brian. Yeah. No, you're obviously at the White House right now. What was the security like for you coming up to the complex there in and around the White House? And maybe you passed by the Capitol this morning with this enhanced security. Did you notice anything different today? No, but I will say that, that fencing that was put up before the Senate, before the State of the Union, that fencing is sort of J6 fencing, I think that's what you call it. That's still up. Lafayette Park has been closed for renovations, so that's not going to be open soon. But tourists were here Saturday walking around and the gates that you walk through the initial perimeter, it's the same as before. Saturday I did notice a lot more police action and a lot more police presence in the city.

48:04I'm not really detecting that now. I think that people, I guess what you'd say, Brian, is that there was already serious security and they think it's good enough right now. Yeah, I would agree with you on that. Neil, thank you so much for your reporting this morning, Ro. I'm sure we'll see you a little bit later today. Thank you. All right.

I am Brian Glam, with just moments away from a Pentagon press briefing at the top of the hour, streaming it live right here on Real America's Voice, but joining us now is

51:11America's Sunrise host, David Brody. David, good morning, my friend. Good morning, Brian. We were just talking offline about kind of waking up on a Saturday morning. I was coming back from the Texas event with President Trump and jumping on the internet and actually, you know, on social media, it's on. Your reaction, when you first were informed that we were engaged in this escalation with Aron. Well, I mean, the first reaction is no surprise, but then there's kind of like a take of breath for a second and go, wow, this is really happening. So it's all kind of combining together. Look, you know, a lot of people, we talk a lot about this, but I have a lot to say, obviously, you might imagine and guess what, we have two hours on American Sunrise, so potentially do that. Unless we're preempted by the Pentagon press conference at 8 a.m. Eastern, but there's a lot to say. First of all, let's start with this, peace through strength. Everybody loves to talk about the peace part.

52:12This is the strength part. You don't get the peace without the strength and a lot of people just go, stop at peace and go, hey, I don't want any wars. You know, I just don't want to go there. Well, sometimes you have to. And you know, one thing I don't want, Brian, is in five years, six years, seven years when there is a Neville Chamberlain type president in the White House, some sort of squishy liberal Democrat. And Iran was not taken out now, and their ballistic missile program is now an intercontinental ballistic missile program. And in five to seven years, we've got a Neville Chamberlain type, and we've got major problems in America because of the situation that is going on right now. And here's what I don't want, Brian. I don't want us to say in seven years, man, Trump had the opportunity and he didn't take it. And now we're screwed. I don't want that. I don't want that. I think he had the opportunity. He's got the Hutzpah. There's a few other words that I can't say on television, and he did it.

53:14And he did it. Now everybody talked about Trump being strong. This is it. And look, in terms of America first, let me just be very clear. You know where I'm your friendly neighborhood Zionist, okay? Let's be honest, all right? But here's the thing. There's a couple of things. America first. Why is this not America first? 17 Americans killed at the Beirut Embassy in Beirut in 1983, 1983, 241 Americans killed by Iran. We're talking about by Iran. Oh, by the way, Hezbollah, which is Iran. Same thing. 241 Americans killed in the Marine barracks in 1983. The Kobar towers, 19 killed there, 600 Americans killed in the Iraq war because of proxies that were backed by Iran. 26 Americans killed by Hamas, once again, funded by Iran. 26 Americans killed on October 7th when Hamas went over. We always talk about Israel. Well, how about Americans, 26 Americans, and we did Diddly squat.

54:17Thanks Joe Biden. Here's President Trump saying, you know what, you're going to kill Americans? This is what you're going to get. And by the way, we haven't even gotten to the nuclear armament portion of this, and there's a lot of other reasons to go in there. But how about just killing almost 1,000 Americans since they took over in 1980? And that's, by the way, it could be a lot more than 1,000, but we'll just keep it at around 1,000. Anyhow, there's a lot more to say about it. Why is that about it? David Brody. That's not what I was talking about. That's not what I was talking about. David Brody, thank you so much for joining us, and I'm sure we'll talk later. Thank you. Thanks. All right, coming up. But we do have that press conference from the Pentagon coming up here, and if you want to stick around, as always, we'll be back here tomorrow at 7 a.m. Eastern. As always, goodbye. God bless.
