But we want to take a pause to 79 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: anchor ourselves in the truth. And this morning's scripture comes 80 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: from One Peter, chapter two, verse twenty one, and it says, 81 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: for God. 82 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 2: Called you to do good, even if it means suffering, 83 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: just as Christ suffered for you. 84 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Here is your example, and you must follow in his stems. Well, 85 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: we turn now from God's word to what's happening on 86 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: American streets this morning. We want to show you exactly 87 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: what federal agents are up against. 88 00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: Now. 89 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: This video is from Saint Paul, Minnesota, where Border Patrol 90 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Commander Greg Babino and his team were surrounded and hounded 91 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: by activists during a simple restroom stop at a target. 92 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: They were screamed at, cursed at, and verbally attacked for 93 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: enforcing federal law. 94 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at that out. 95 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: Of here, and if you did have a gun. 96 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 8: Take them. 97 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. 98 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: And this is what federal agents face every day in America, 99 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: and yet their operations are working, the worst of the worst, 100 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: dangerous criminal illegal aliens are being moved. 101 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 2: So why is this even controversial? 102 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: United States Border Patrol Commander Greg Babino joins US now. 103 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: Commander, Good morning. 104 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 8: To you, Alison and Brian. 105 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 6: Good morning to you. 106 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, good good morning, thank you, Commander. 107 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: We just watched that disgusting video where you and your 108 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: agents were surrounded harassed during this simple stop at a target. 109 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: Is this what your teams are now expected to put 110 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: up with every day? 111 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 8: Well, unfortunately, that is the reality of what we are 112 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 8: seeing here on the streets in Minnesota. So yes, this 113 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 8: is actually a common occurrence. But something the viewers might 114 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 8: want to know is generally this is a very small 115 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 8: percentage of people that engage in conduct like this. The 116 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 8: other ninety percent of the shoppers there in target were 117 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 8: absolutely aghast, just like you and I at such reprehensible 118 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 8: language and behavior. So we get a lot of support 119 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 8: out there, it's just oftentimes that gets drowned out by 120 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 8: a very small percentage of very vocal and foul mouthed individuals. 121 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: I'm so glad you brought that up, and by the way, 122 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 4: thank you for your service and what you're doing. If 123 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: I was in that target, I might have been that 124 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: one guy that might have challenged that individuals that was 125 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 4: screaming at you and allowed you to get out of target, 126 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 4: and I would have handled that guy myself. That's a 127 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: completely separate issue. But is this how much harder is 128 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: it right now to protect your own agents while carrying 129 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 4: out these operations when you have these people, these mobs 130 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: that are surrounding you. Logistically, does that make it tougher 131 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 4: to do that? 132 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 6: Sure, Brian. 133 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 8: We have to be on alert, that's that's for certain, 134 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 8: on alert everywhere we go. And I think what's happening 135 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 8: here is a lot of these weaker minded, weaker minded 136 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 8: individuals like what you saw there in target, are falling 137 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 8: victim to the crazy talk by the elan Omars, by 138 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 8: the Tim Waltz's, by the Mayor Fries and they're actually 139 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 8: acting upon what those those leaders say. 140 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 9: So that's the problem. 141 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 8: If you if you know, we had just gotten back 142 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 8: from Louisiana where we had a month long operation. We 143 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 8: had one use of force in an entire month there 144 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 8: in Louisiana. Uh, We've already had double digit uses of force, 145 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 8: a tax on law enforce, a tax on border patrol 146 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 8: agents in four days here in Minnesota. So there's there's 147 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 8: a contrast. But there's also a reason this doesn't just 148 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 8: happen on its own, Brian Allison, It doesn't happen on 149 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 8: its own. There's always a causation, yeah, for this, and 150 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 8: that causation is those those elected leaders, those community leaders, 151 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 8: and some of those social media influencers. They're filamenting violence 152 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 8: for you know, for their own for their own needs 153 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 8: and their own desires, and that that's too bad. 154 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: Well, I would think a major causation now in the 155 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: past twenty four hours is Keith Ellison and bry getting 156 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: up there and having that presser yesterday afternoon and. 157 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: Now they're suing it. 158 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong, the Department of Justice to 159 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: get Ice out of Minnesota. 160 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 2: What is what's your understanding of that? 161 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 7: Sure? 162 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 8: You know, I think that's grandstanding. I think that whole 163 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 8: thing is grandstanding. You know, when I first listened to 164 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 8: the news conference that Minnesota Attorney general, I actually thought, 165 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 8: you know, is something wrong. 166 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 7: With this guy? 167 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 8: Is this a joke? And When I realized he was serious, 168 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 8: I kind of chuckled to myself because, as you know 169 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 8: that Title ten the Constitution, the Privilege, Privileges and Immunities Clause, 170 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 8: that which is not specifically reserved for the States is 171 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 8: reserved for the federal government. In other words, we can 172 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 8: and will do things like protect our nation. The military 173 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 8: protects our nation overseas, we protect our nation domestically. That 174 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 8: is a federal issue, not a state issue. And that's 175 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 8: why we're here. We've done this over several states already 176 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 8: over the past eight months. We've been in California, We've 177 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 8: been in Illinois, We've been in North Carolina, We've been 178 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 8: in New Orleans. 179 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 9: We've been all. 180 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 8: Across the entire United States. So Minnesota is not being 181 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 8: treated any differently. I saw something that that Attorney General said, 182 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 8: and it was towards the fact that he believes Minnesota 183 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 8: is being treated differently. 184 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: Well, they're not cheap of you know. 185 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: One thing that really confused me was, I think last 186 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: week Waltz got up and he started talking about the 187 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: National Guard and basically saying the National Guard belonged to 188 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: him and he was potentially going to put them out 189 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: on the streets. 190 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: Can you expand on that, you know. 191 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 8: I listened to to what walt said. Now it seems 192 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 8: he's backed off on that. I haven't heard too much 193 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 8: about that lately. As a matter of fact, I haven't 194 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 8: heard anything from Governor Waltz. He seems to be missing 195 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 8: an action in this whole thing. But he talked about 196 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 8: sending his guard into the streets. But yet he's talking 197 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 8: that he doesn't not want militarized forces or border batual 198 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 8: agents in the streets. So why would he send the 199 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 8: National Guard into the streets. It makes absolutely zero sense. 200 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 8: I think he had a faux pas there and he 201 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 8: probably misspoke. But yeah, I'm not sure what or why 202 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 8: he would take that route with what's going on now. 203 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 8: So if he wants to send the Guard or the 204 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 8: state police into the streets to give us a hand 205 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 8: with his Title eight immigration mission, all the better. We 206 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 8: love working with our state and local partners. We do 207 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 8: that nationwide. Take again, take a look at Louisiana. Fantastic 208 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 8: operation down there, got a lot done because we had 209 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 8: that cooperation. So let's hope that Minnesota gets this act together. 210 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 8: Governor Waltz and Mayor of Frice, specifically and we can 211 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 8: wrap this mission up all the sooner with help from 212 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 8: those state and local agents. 213 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 4: I got a last question. We got about twenty seconds, 214 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 4: so I apologized. We have to quick answer. Does this 215 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 4: get better or does this get worse with all this 216 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: political rhetoric encouraging the hostile towards these federal agents. 217 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 8: Brian, it always gets better. We are going to wrap 218 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 8: up this Title eight mission. We are taking hundreds and 219 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 8: hundreds or approaching thousands of criminal, illegal aliens off the streets. 220 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 8: It's going to get better. Some of the folks are 221 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 8: in the find out phase right now. 222 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 7: That's fine. 223 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 8: It's going to get better. 224 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 7: They're going to find out all right. 225 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, Border Patrol Chief Greg Bavino, you're the best. 226 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us this morning. 227 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 7: Thank you, Greg. 228 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: You God bless, thank you, God bless. Coming out. 229 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: President Trump puts America's homeowners first. After years of sky 230 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: high rates and lockdown buyers, mortgage costs are finally falling 231 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: and President Trump is driving the shift. 232 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: What this means for my family's. 233 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: First time buyers and a middle class ready for a 234 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: reset that's coming up next. Beautiful shot of Atlanta early 235 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: this morning. 236 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: Yeah no, one's out on the road at this hour. 237 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 2: That's okay. We're here for you. 238 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: Hopefully you're getting ready, getting some coffee and getting ready 239 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: for Super Super Day. Welcome back to American Sunrise Early edition. 240 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm Alison Hans. Let's bring back in Brian Glenn. 241 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: Hey there, Brian. 242 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't look like too many people out on the 243 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: streets there in Atlanta. 244 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 4: I can guarantee you for someone who flies in out 245 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 4: of Atlanta about once a week, they're coming. What is 246 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 4: it local time there? It is seven fifteen. Trust me 247 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 4: another thing. The minutes that place is packed. 248 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll trust you. I'll trust you. Let's move on. 249 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: While Washington argues, we won't argue here, Americans are watching 250 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: their monthly bills, and this morning there is a real shift. 251 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: Mortgage rates have dropped to their lowest level in nearly 252 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: three years after President Trump ordered Fannie May and Freddie 253 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: Mack to step in and buy two hundred billion in 254 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: mortgage bonds. The result lower rates, lower payments, and for 255 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: some families the first real shot at owning a home 256 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: in years. Joining us now with reaction is this morning's moneyman. 257 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: Michael Wilkerson, founder of Storm War Advisor's Good morning. 258 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: Michael, Good morning, Alison, thanks so much for being here. Okay, 259 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: for families who've been locked out of. 260 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: The housing market for years, is this the first real 261 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: sign that relief might actually be here. 262 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 10: It's a clear sign that the President is making affordability 263 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 10: a key part is that can priorities. If you think 264 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 10: about where have people still not been terribly satisfied, it's 265 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 10: been on the economy, and it's been on rising prices. 266 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 10: So this has been a real issue. Homes have become 267 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 10: increasingly affordable. Think about going back to generation an average home, 268 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 10: A typical home costs about two times median income. Today 269 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 10: homes are about five times median income, making them really 270 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 10: out of reach for a lot of homeowners. So these 271 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 10: are important steps. I think the bigger issue is we 272 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 10: have to see real wages, real income, take home money, 273 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 10: keep up with inflation, and actually reaccelerate again. Prices can't 274 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 10: naturally come down nominally because that'll hurt existing homeowners. But 275 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 10: what can happen is we can get increase the supply 276 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 10: and we can get real wages rising. 277 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 7: Again. 278 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 10: These are important things, and I think the President is 279 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 10: taking the initial steps in that direction. 280 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, when you look at under Biden, the 281 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 4: rate spiked and the Feds basically we did nothing for 282 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 4: the working class families. Is this the true difference between 283 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 4: an administration that talks about the middle class and actually 284 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 4: does things to help it. 285 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 6: I think it's an important step. 286 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 10: It's a little bit tricky because his rates are coming down, 287 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 10: and we've seen them come down about one point six 288 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 10: percent since the peak in October twenty twenty three. One 289 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 10: of the challenges, though, is that housing prices have continued 290 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 10: to rise. So even though it's how homes are more 291 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 10: affordable to live in and owned by several hundred dollars 292 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 10: a month, if it costs you more to enter that home, 293 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 10: you might be better off over a lifetime, but the 294 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 10: upfront price is still too high. So it's an important 295 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 10: initial step. We've got to do more. We've got to 296 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 10: figure out how to make those initial purchases affordable. This 297 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 10: is I think an important first step. Couple steps along 298 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 10: the way. One lower interest rates to keep institutional money 299 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 10: from competing with homeowners for single family homes is another 300 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 10: initiative of the President that I think is an apt 301 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 10: or piece of the puzzle there. 302 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: It is a little confusing or I feel for those 303 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: young people out there who want to get into a home, 304 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: and you have these homes out there that are maybe 305 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars or even a million dollars and 306 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: they're really really tiny, and they can't even get into 307 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: those homes. What is your suggestion to the young people 308 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: out there. 309 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 10: So, first of all, ownership's really important. If you look 310 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 10: at how owners of assets, whether it be real estate 311 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 10: or otherwise, have done in the last few years versus renters, 312 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 10: there's no comparison. When you're renting, you're not storing up 313 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 10: value for the future. So the first piece of advice 314 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 10: is find a way to own something. Find a way 315 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 10: through various initiatives that are out there for first time owners. 316 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,479 Speaker 10: Even though it feels like you're stretching of owning an 317 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 10: asset that can grow with inflation over time is really really. 318 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: Important, And even one hundred dollars a month can be 319 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: the difference between renting forever and owning a home. Do 320 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: you see this as a I don't know, like a 321 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: psychological turning point where people finally believe they can have 322 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: the American dream. I know you've written a book about 323 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: the American dream. 324 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 6: I think it's really important. 325 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 10: The psychological impact can't be underestimated here. When people feel 326 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 10: excluded from the economy, they're excluded from society. Home Ownership 327 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 10: has been the path to the American dream. It's been 328 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 10: the path through real wealth creation and a store of value. 329 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 10: And that's why housing is so important and affordability is 330 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 10: such a priority for the Trump administration. 331 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 7: Last question, Michael real quickly. 332 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 4: There's a bill in Congress that would eliminate taxes capital 333 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 4: gains on home sales. Would this create a sense of 334 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 4: liquidity in the market and people that might sell a 335 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 4: property that they would have to pay a lot of 336 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 4: tax on now. 337 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 7: They would be able to do it.

Criminal illegal aliens remove from our streets, 395 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: while the left protests and demands Ice stand down. Foreign 396 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: threats aren't staying overseas, They're showing up in American cities. 397 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: This is the moment we either take control or lose it. 398 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: And the man watching it all is Senator Ron Johnson 399 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: of Wisconsin, a member of the Homeland Security Committee. Senator Johnson, 400 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us this morning. 401 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 6: Morning guys, I hope you doing well. 402 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: Doing great well from your vantage point on homeland security. 403 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: How serious is this moment for the country. 404 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 11: I think you put it quite well. I mean, this 405 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 11: is a make or break moment for America. You know, 406 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 11: Conservatives Republicans have to understand the radical left is at 407 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 11: war with us. 408 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 6: It makes no sense. 409 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 11: I mean, socialism, radical actism, wherever it's tried, just destroys things, 410 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 11: destroys societies, destroys economies. 411 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 6: But this has been their game plan. 412 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 11: They've infiltrated all of our institutions, government, churches, all these 413 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 11: other organizations, academia. 414 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 6: They preach this hate. They flood our nation with millions. 415 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 11: Of illegal immigrants, a lot of them are criminals, drug 416 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 11: traffickers and traffickers, sex traffickers. And then when America says, no, 417 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 11: we don't like this, so we duly elected president who 418 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 11: has vowed to clean up this mess. They take the streets, 419 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 11: they protest, they impede of lawful enforcement actions, they encourage, 420 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 11: they incite people to fire at ice. 421 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 6: Killing some illegal immigrants. 422 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 11: They block the roads, and then you end up with 423 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 11: this tragedy of this one woman who's not an into 424 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 11: some bystander, you know, she was involved in this in 425 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 11: these protests. Again, it's just a tragedy all the way around. 426 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 11: But again this is all incited by the radical left, 427 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 11: and unfortunately the radical lefts it's pretty well taken over 428 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 11: the Democrat Party. 429 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 6: You know, they'll put. 430 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 11: Elected officials as the face of the radical left to 431 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 11: appear to be more moderate, but they've all signed up 432 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 11: the movement. They certainly aren't willing to crack down on 433 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 11: this and repair it. So this is as you said, 434 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 11: this will make a break more for America. Will enough 435 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 11: Americans open up their eyes to what is happening, the danger, 436 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 11: the peril that this country is in because of the 437 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 11: radical left. 438 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 6: That's pretty much the sixty four thousand dollars question. 439 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 7: It is. 440 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 4: And I want to say something real quickly, thank you 441 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 4: for your leadership and all of this, because you're staying 442 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 4: strong and a lot of people in your conference want 443 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 4: to bend a knee. Now when local leaders and activists 444 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 4: target federal agents instead of criminals, what does that do 445 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 4: to national security and the role of law. I personally 446 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 4: think these ice agents will probably be in place for 447 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 4: years because we're going to see such a pushback from 448 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 4: the left of all the things that we need to 449 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 4: do as a country. 450 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 7: But what's your thoughts on that? 451 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 6: Well destroys it? 452 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 11: You know, the Democrats had planned I think January sixth, 453 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 11: you know, not knowing exactly what's going to happen, but 454 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 11: in case something happened, that they have the term armed insurrection. 455 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 11: They just pulled that out of a hat and they 456 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 11: started using it right away. That wasn't it was certainly 457 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 11: a protest that's gone wrong. We all condemned the violence, 458 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 11: but it's not an armed insurrection. What we're seeing on 459 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 11: the streets and court. Honestly, what we saw in the 460 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 11: summer of twenty twenty that looked more like an insurrection 461 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 11: to me. What we're seeing now again, these are organized 462 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 11: protests that they are impeding lawful enforcement actions. That looks 463 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 11: like an insurrection to me. And then when you have 464 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 11: government officials side with the protesters, you know, side with 465 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 11: the mas, you know, it's like that is an insurrection 466 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 11: to me. Now, the left will never call it that, 467 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 11: the legacy media will never call it that. But that's 468 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 11: the real danger to this country. Those are the people 469 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 11: who are rejecting are founding values. They're the ones that 470 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 11: are trying to impose this radical lectism on this country 471 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 11: that again, time and time again one has tried it 472 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 11: utterly fails and it just destroys nations, societies and economies. 473 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: And Senator in all of this, the fraud issues, specifically 474 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: in Minnesota is out of the headlines right now, which 475 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: to me is absolutely atrocious. 476 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 2: Your thoughts on that, well. 477 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 11: Again, what fraud represents is the absolute predictable result of 478 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 11: big government. Democrats want to grow government. I mean this 479 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 11: states back to Franklin Rose and develop the New Deal 480 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 11: when he figured out how to use the federal fisk 481 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 11: to basically garner votes, guarantee votes, make people dependent on 482 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 11: the federal government, make them dependent on Democrats who wanted 483 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 11: to grow the federal government. 484 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 6: So we've grown the federal government. 485 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 11: And when you're spending now seven trillion dollars, you know 486 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 11: prior in pandemic, you're spending four point four this year 487 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 11: will spend over seven trillion dollars, we know a lot 488 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 11: of this is fraud. You know, the GAO Government Accountability 489 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 11: Office two thousand and three, they've been doing what they 490 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 11: call a improper payment report in precise terms, overpayments, under payments. 491 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 11: But it's called sloppiness, let's put it that way, Okay, waste, 492 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 11: it's fraud. Two point eight trillion dollars is what they've 493 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 11: identified in their report since two thousand and three. Two 494 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 11: point eight trillion dollars. And that's just scratching the surface. 495 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 11: What we're seeing in Minnesota is just the tip of 496 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 11: the iceberg. I mean, Somalis, the Somalians, they are new 497 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 11: to this country. They're relatively new, they're amateurs now, they're 498 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 11: very effective, they're very good, unique in terms of the 499 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 11: level of graft and how it's been contained and kind 500 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 11: of protected within that community and the politicians that they buy. 501 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 11: But think of the military industrial complex, think of all 502 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 11: these other entities that have been established to basically transfer 503 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 11: this money from the government, from the taxpayers through these 504 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 11: organizations to some group of people. I mean, they're taking 505 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 11: a big cut. So again, I think the fraud, I 506 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 11: think the graft. I think the waste is enormous. And 507 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 11: what we're seeing in Minnesota is is just a small, 508 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 11: infantestible tip of the iceberg. 509 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Well, Senator Ron Johnson, if the Somalis are the amateurs, I. 510 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: Really do not want to meet the professionals. Thank you. 511 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 4: Well, they're down in Texas as well. That's happening in Texas. 512 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 7: Indeed, the next ball to drop. 513 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you so much for coming in this morning. 514 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: We appreciate you. 515 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 6: Have a great dare take care. 516 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: Thank you. Still ahead. 517 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: President Trump is doubling down on the US military operation 518 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: to capture Maduro, saying history is on his administration side. 519 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: Is he right? 520 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: We'll discuss as this early edition of American Sunrise continues. 521 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 3: Welcome to American Sunrise Early Edition, the show where faith, 522 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 3: freedom and the values that built this nation takes center stage. 523 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: To American Sunrise Early Edition. I'm Alison Hans. Let's bring 524 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: back in my co host Brian Glenn. Okay, Brian, what 525 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: does the President and the White House have on the 526 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: schedule today? 527 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 4: Funny you asked Allison a little bit later this morning. 528 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 7: In about two hours, you're going to go. 529 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 4: To Detroit to meet with Detroit Economic Club. Before that, 530 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 4: he's going to tour a manufacturing plan. I believe it's 531 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 4: a Ford plant. He'll make his return. This is just 532 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 4: a day trip, going to go up and down. He'll 533 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 4: be back on the South Lawn around five o'clock tonight. 534 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 4: But we'll have once again full coverage. I think believe, 535 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 4: I believe. We have Steve Kruber and a camera crew 536 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 4: on the ground there in Detroit, so we'll have full 537 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 4: coverage of his speech coming up all day right here 538 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 4: on Roll. 539 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 2: America's Boys excellent heading to Motor City. Sounds good, that's right. 540 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, President Trump defends his military operation to remove Nicholas 541 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: Maduro from power in Venezuela. Saying history shows America has 542 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: long used force to fight tyranny and protect US interests. 543 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: He insists such actions are justified without congressional approval when 544 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: national security is at stake. Trump frames the operation as 545 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: a bold move to end Maduro's corrupt regime and restore 546 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: freedom to the Venezuelan people. He warns that failure to 547 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: act strongly could embolden dictators and threaten America's position around 548 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: the world. For more, let's welcome in American Sunrise contributor 549 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: Emily Finn to the show. Okay, good morning, Emily, Good 550 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: morning to you, Allison. 551 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for having me. Of course, Okay, what 552 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 2: do you think of this? 553 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 12: Well, it's interesting, Ellison, if you dive into the history 554 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 12: with this a little bit further. I was looking at 555 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 12: this article in the Federalists, and according to them, President Adams, Jefferson, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Obama, 556 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 12: they have all ordered military actions similar to what President 557 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 12: Trump has done. 558 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: Now, what is interesting. 559 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 12: About this, and what I've been reading about, is that 560 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 12: they are relatively minor military engagements, so not necessarily minor 561 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 12: in terms of the effects that they have. Obviously, capturing 562 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 12: Duro is going to have tremendous effects for the people 563 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 12: of Venezuela, tremendous positive effects for the people of Venezuela. 564 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 12: But it's the small, minor military operations like this or 565 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 12: full scale war, which is a long term military operation 566 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 12: that you would of course need congressional approval for. But 567 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 12: history is on his side, Allison. If you look into this, 568 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 12: you know about five presidents that I just named off 569 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 12: here that you could look to similar military operations that 570 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 12: they have done as well. 571 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting, Emily, ever since the Venezuela thing 572 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 4: has happened, and of course now we're looking at o Ran, 573 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 4: a lot of people in Maga are asking themselves, is 574 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 4: this America first? Is this what we should be focusing on? 575 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 4: And I can argue on both sides that to make 576 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 4: sure we don't have an evil regime in Iran that's 577 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 4: plotting the tech country, that's probably a good thing. Or 578 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 4: we don't have oil and we have a country that 579 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 4: could be selling the resources to our enemies, that's probably 580 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 4: a good thing. But Emily, what are you seeing on 581 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 4: social media and your influence, your circle of influence that 582 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: suggests should we be doing these things? 583 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 7: And is that America first? 584 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 12: Yeah, Brian, I think you described it pretty well. There's 585 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 12: certainly a bit of a divide, right, and there's there's 586 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,959 Speaker 12: arguments on both sides of this. 587 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: Is it America first or not? 588 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 12: I think in my mind, and what I've been seeing 589 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 12: on social media from people in MAGA circles is that 590 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 12: it's the ripple effects of what capturing Maduro actually means 591 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 12: and what that means for Americans, especially in terms of 592 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 12: drug smuggling, and that you know that happening in our country. 593 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 12: But yes, are there things that you know this administration 594 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 12: could be doing to directly impact Americans in a positive 595 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 12: way domestically here on the home front, of course, So 596 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 12: I think that debate is going to continue to be ongoing. 597 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 12: But the President and Pete Haig set that have certainly 598 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 12: made it clear that this is a priority of their 599 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 12: administration to keep us interest safe globally across the world. 600 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 4: Brian, Yeah, I agree, I agree, and may thank you 601 00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 4: so much for joining us. 602 00:33:58,920 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 7: You look beautiful, by. 603 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 2: The way, Well, thank you, Brian. 604 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 12: Appreciate that you didn't get the pink memo today. 605 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 2: You had to wear the pink suit next time. Next time, 606 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 2: we'll make sure you get that memo. Thanks Brian, I'll 607 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 2: do that. 608 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 7: Probably just rip the microphone off. Thank you so much. 609 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 4: Now, in a stunning and dangerous escalation, Iran Supreme leader 610 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 4: Ali Komali posts a shocking image check this out, showing 611 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump and a coffin openly threatening the United States. Now, 612 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 4: the post mox President Trump and declares the so called 613 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 4: quote arrogant leaders will be overthrown, marking a clear and 614 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 4: direct provocation from a hostile regime. This happens as Iran 615 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 4: faces internal chaos and as President Trump issues strong warnings 616 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 4: over the regime's violent crackdown on its own people. America 617 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 4: stays on alert as our enemies test President Trump, and 618 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 4: the world watches what comes next. For the discussion, let's 619 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 4: welcome the show retired US Navy sale officer Mike Sirelli. 620 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 7: Hey, thanks Mike. 621 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 4: I mean you see images like that taunting the US 622 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 4: like they're saying, bring it? Did they not see what 623 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 4: has happened in some of these other countries? And obviously 624 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 4: we drop some haymakers on there and Operation Midnight Hammer. 625 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 7: What's your thoughts? So they've been pretty arrogant right now, I. 626 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 5: Tell you, it's like the kid who continually touches the 627 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 5: electric fence, gets shocked and then. 628 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 9: Just never learned. 629 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 5: No, this is bolden the act of a desperate tyranny 630 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 5: at their decline. And you know they've they've declared all 631 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 5: out war, total war in the United States, which is 632 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 5: provocation enough for US to strike and assist these protesters. 633 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 9: And that's the red line. 634 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 5: And I think the question that we all have is 635 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 5: if and when President Trump is going to strike Iran. 636 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 5: We've already seen it economically or diplomatically with an increase 637 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 5: of twenty five percent tariffs on any nation that does 638 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 5: trade with Iran, So he's slowly escalating the measures against it. 639 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 5: But now is the time to finally put this regime 640 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 5: to bed, to bury him and hopefully remove a cancer 641 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 5: from the Middle East. 642 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: Okay, Mike innother news, UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez says 643 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: he is shocked by the violence, murder, and mayhem sweeping 644 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: Iran as the regime cracks down on its own people. 645 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: As Iran descends further into chaos, the UN issues words 646 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: while the bloodshed continues and the world watches. Okay, is 647 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: anybody listening to the UN chief at this point? 648 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 6: Guys? 649 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 9: This is absolutely shocking. 650 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 5: The UN is issuing strongly worded documents and speeches about 651 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 5: the terror going on. The UN has become like an 652 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 5: HR department for tyrannical, despotic leaders. It documents the abuse, 653 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 5: it holds workshops for awareness. 654 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 9: It condemns them with strong words. 655 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 5: But guys, you know, I think we are seeing Trump 656 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 5: make very decisive decisions around the world. As Emily just 657 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 5: brought up with past presidents. I think a strong decisive 658 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 5: decision would be to shut down our involvement in the UN, 659 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 5: and we already see Trump starting to do that with 660 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 5: certain commissions or alliances. Is pullback, stop funding them. Because 661 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 5: the UN was a nineteen forty five structure that has 662 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 5: failed to adapt to the twenty first century, and quite frankly, 663 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,360 Speaker 5: has been taken over by woke liberal globalists whose views 664 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 5: do not align with ours. 665 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 9: It's time to shut it down. It is ineffective. It 666 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 9: has always been in effective. 667 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 7: I agree, all right. 668 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 4: President Trump says Iran is starting to cross the US 669 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 4: red line as protesters continue to die in the government 670 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 4: crack down. The President is very the President's very strongly 671 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 4: is weighing I'm sorry of options, as activists claim about 672 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 4: five hundred and forty four people have been killed. I 673 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 4: met an Iranian television correspondent. 674 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 7: At the White House yesterday. 675 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 4: He's even telling me this, and I don't think and 676 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 4: you probably have heard this, Mike, when the regime brings 677 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 4: someone they've killed back to the family and says, here's 678 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 4: the remains of your protester. And by the way, we 679 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 4: pumped two bullets inside that protester. You owe us pay 680 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 4: up for the two bullets. This is an evil regime. 681 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 4: And as we see people die prensident, Trump says, hey, 682 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 4: they've crossed the red line. 683 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 7: There's gonna be a price to pay for that. 684 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 5: So these protesters have novenum. We're going into our third 685 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 5: week here, guys. And you know I'm usually of the 686 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 5: mind let sort of an unfold. You know, if a 687 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 5: husband and a wife are arguing that that's none of 688 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 5: my business. But right now we're at a point with 689 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 5: one iron has declared total war in the United States. 690 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 5: That's justification enough. But we've never seen protests of these magnitude. 691 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 5: This is the highest death toll of protests we've seen 692 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 5: in a while. This is an opportunity and so you know, 693 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 5: I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if we see cyber 694 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 5: operations already going or soon to be underway against Iranian 695 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 5: nodes that are conducting or orchestrating this blackout. We want 696 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 5: to open up the communication channels with the good people 697 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 5: of Iran, and we want to see in near real 698 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 5: time what's going on and support them and allow them 699 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 5: to communicate, but don't rule out precision air strikes on 700 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 5: not only the ier GC, especially the Bajis, which is 701 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 5: their version of the Gestapo that's tamping down a lot 702 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 5: of these civilian protests and actually orchestrating this murder, but 703 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 5: also select Iranian regime leaders. I think this is the time, 704 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 5: and as Americans, we need to be behind President Trump 705 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 5: if he makes this strong decision, because I just I 706 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 5: offer you this. Could you imagine a Middle East without 707 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 5: the cancer, the state sponsored terrorism regime of Iran in place, 708 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 5: It would just a world like that would be completely different. 709 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 5: We could actually orchestrate a different level of peace that 710 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 5: the Middle East has never known. 711 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. We've never seen leadership like this before. It's extraordinary, 712 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: and so I'm interested to get your perspective with your 713 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: fellow military friends. 714 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 2: And colleagues. What is the mood right now with them? 715 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: I'd love to kind of hear it from your perspective 716 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: and your history. 717 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 9: Well, I have no love loss for a run. 718 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 5: In two thousand and eight, I was fighting in Solder 719 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 5: City Makta all sovereign and the souterin militia which was 720 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 5: backed by Iranian special groups. In fact, iron was manufacturing 721 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 5: and supplying them EFP's explosive forming penetrators that were killing Americans. 722 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 9: Again. 723 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 5: They are a state sponsor of HESBLA and MOSS.

But the Supreme Court is going 771 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 14: to weigh in on that today. And I always love 772 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 14: to listen to. 773 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 6: The oral arguments. 774 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 14: I don't mean they're actually the Supreme Court, but we 775 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 14: get the audio released and we can start to read 776 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 14: the tea leaves a little bit to see how some 777 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 14: of these justices. 778 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 6: Are going to rule on this. 779 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 14: I mean, the question really is, do these transgender athletes 780 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,919 Speaker 14: have a constitutional right to in essence. 781 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 6: Play where they want to play? 782 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 14: That their constitutional rights are infringed upon? I say hogwash, 783 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 14: of course, But we'll see what happens with the Supreme 784 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:46,479 Speaker 14: Court justices today. 785 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 6: By the way, I just wanted to say. 786 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 14: The word hogwash, very nineteen seventy two type word, kind 787 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 14: of like malarkey. 788 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 4: Like malarkey, I can promise you that there'll be some 789 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 4: transgender activists outside of Supreme Court, but I can also 790 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 4: promise you none. 791 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 7: Of them were athletes in their entire life. They're just 792 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 7: I know this demo so well. 793 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: I think this is an interesting case because I think 794 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: this has to do with Chloe Cole, who was a 795 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: young woman and early on she was counseled and given 796 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: puberty blockers, and then I think at around fifteen she 797 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: had top surgery. And I think it's a larger question 798 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 1: about protecting youth. Protecting youth and having this type of 799 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: activity when you are a young person at thirteen, fourteen, 800 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: fifteen years old being transitioned, it's extraordinary. 801 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 4: Well, you got to Protect Children's Innocence Act that passed 802 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 4: in Congress is now going to the Senate, and that 803 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,320 Speaker 4: would make it a felony to perform transgender surgeries on kids. 804 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 7: It's a no brainer, right. 805 00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 14: And then this whole idea of gender dysphoria, which by 806 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 14: the way, is real. 807 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 7: But here's the problem. 808 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 14: The actual parents lean into gender dysphory and say, oh, okay, 809 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 14: you know, you know, Bobby, you want to play with 810 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 14: a Barbie doll, and all of a sudden, the next 811 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 14: thing you know, they're in. 812 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 6: A mutilation office. You know, four years later, I. 813 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 9: Mean, it's it's insane. 814 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: But you know what, David, the parents are being reaffirmed 815 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: by Hollywood and the culture because parents ten twenty years 816 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: ago would say this is nuts. 817 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 2: But then when the. 818 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: Schools and TV and movies are saying this is a 819 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:42,240 Speaker 1: totally normal thing. Of course, the parents are questioning themselves 820 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: and they want to do what's best for their kids. 821 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 2: But this is not what's best, No, And. 822 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:51,280 Speaker 4: I think it's interesting that the LGB community pushed back 823 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 4: on the t's. 824 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 7: The t's are ruining it for the LGB.
