How are you? 40 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: Hey, Good morning, I'm doing well. You know we're really 41 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 4: ramping up into severe weather season. You were saying, living 42 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 4: in the past in Dallas, you dealt with some good 43 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 4: sized hail. You know, these strong stories. 44 00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: It's time. 45 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 4: We're going to continue to have more. I was going 46 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 4: to studio with the delay. 47 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Body. Yeah, I'm sorry. I hate to say. If you 48 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: don't have a garage and you own several cars, seek shelter. 49 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: You gotta protect the cars. 50 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, especially for the weekend because we have 51 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: several more days where we could have these strong storms. 52 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 4: So this was a look in Oklahoma on just yesterday. 53 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 4: You can see lots of lightning. We're going to continue 54 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 4: to have that chance for widespread severe so we're up 55 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 4: to an enhanced risk, so that's a level three out 56 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: of five severe weather threat. And then widespread heat across 57 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 4: the southeast. So this heat is fueling those storms that 58 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 4: will be developing today and into Saturday. Now, out in 59 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 4: the mountains we have heavy snow, so that's still continuing 60 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 4: throughout the day today. Areas like the Colorado Rockies will 61 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 4: have up to fourteen inches in some of the higher elevations. 62 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: But the northeast New England dealing with a little bit 63 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: of ice. As that last system rolls on through, they're 64 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 4: going to be dealing with some rain and some strong 65 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: storms as well. And then there's a look from the 66 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 4: mountains where syne Wyoming was getting a good amount of snow. 67 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 4: But that severe weather threat today stretches from the Great 68 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 4: Lakes all the way down through central Texas, and then 69 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 4: into Saturday, it's gonna shift east a little bit, so 70 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 4: the Ohio Valley all the way down to the Gulf 71 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 4: Coast will be at risk for some strong to severe thunderstorms, 72 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 4: and the atmospheric conditions conducive for some very strong tornado 73 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 4: potential and good size hail, hail over two inches in 74 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 4: diameter and winds surpassing seventy five miles per hour. So 75 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 4: they were dealing with the storms yesterday in Oklahoma, and 76 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 4: it's going to be another couple of days of this, 77 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 4: so rolling right into March with a multi day severe 78 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: weather outbreak with this active pattern. 79 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: Brian, Yeah, and I know that a lot of schools 80 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: start their spring break next week, a lot of schools 81 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: in the South, So I would imagine a lot of 82 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: people keeping their eye on that a forecast. Maybe next 83 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: week we'll do an a one A forecast for some 84 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: of those parents that have kids that are going down 85 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: for spring break. Keep an eye on that. 86 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: All right, where those kids go these days. 87 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: Well, i'll let you know. I know where mine's going, 88 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: so I'll let you know on that. Tracy, thank you 89 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: so much. We'll see you back on American Sunrise with 90 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: one of our lucky hometown forecast selections. Thank you. Ye see, 91 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 1: all right, let's turn now to our top story. The 92 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: war with Iran is entering a new face. US and 93 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: Israeli strikes intensifying over Tehran, as military leaders say the 94 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: campaign is now targeting the regime's core military capabilities, but 95 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: Pentagon warning American firepower is about to surge Iran continuing 96 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: missile and drone attacks across the region. Joining US now 97 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: is geopolitical analyst Brandon Wicker, senior editor at nineteen forty 98 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: five dot com and the author of The Shadow War, 99 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: Iran's Quest for Supremacy. Brandon, are we moving closer to 100 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: a resolution or is this in a more dangerous phase 101 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: now as we've been told yesterday that this could potentially 102 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: go into September. Have you heard of that? 103 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 5: I don't. Yeah, I don't. I did hear that. 104 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 6: And I have colleagues, friends of mine that I've known 105 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 6: for years who are getting orders to basically prepare to 106 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 6: be deployed for a very long time related to this operation. 107 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 6: So I will just tell you right now, the President 108 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 6: can say whatever he wants, but the conflict is not 109 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 6: going to debate. 110 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: What's going to. 111 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 5: Happen is there. 112 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 6: We're going to enter into yet another phase of the conflict. 113 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 5: Now. 114 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 6: You mentioned the surging of resources for one final big 115 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 6: battle from the air. That's how it's being builled. And 116 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 6: let's hope that that's the case. But this could end 117 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 6: up being like the equivalent of the Battle of the Bulge, 118 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 6: where the Germans in World War Two through everything they 119 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 6: had for one big push against the Allies to break 120 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 6: them in order to have some kind of last minute, 121 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 6: you know, Hail Mary's success that would flip the war. 122 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 6: But the fact of the matter is if we throw 123 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 6: everything into this last push they're talking about, that basically 124 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 6: means after that our stockpiles are depleted. So if it 125 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 6: doesn't work, we are in a whole new ballgame. And 126 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 6: we're up against the wall now. And I don't believe 127 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 6: the Iranians are going to surrender, nor do I believe 128 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 6: that regime is about to collapse. 129 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that President Trump has said often that 130 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: he will not put ground troops in Aran. Now whether 131 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: or not that holds that this, well. 132 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 6: He has them there. They are there, so they are. 133 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 6: We have been moving special forces and covert operators, CIA, paramilitary, 134 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 6: so it's not it's not conventional forces, thank god. And 135 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 6: I don't think we will have maybe forces, but we 136 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 6: do have maybe on the ground. 137 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: Okay, that's I'm glad you pointed that out. But then 138 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: this spreads to you know, area of nations and it 139 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: kind of gets everyone involved in this. Uh what's your 140 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: take on the Iranian strategy to kind of poke everyone 141 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: around them, hoping that this you know, prolongs this this 142 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: war so that perhaps it does cut into our our 143 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: stockpiles of ammunition. 144 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 5: Well, that's exactly what they're doing. 145 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 6: So basically, this is almost a new form of attritional warfare, 146 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 6: not you know, back in you know, when we think 147 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 6: of attritional warfare, we think of World War One, lots 148 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 6: of men killing each other for protracted periods of time 149 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 6: until the one side runs out of men. In this case, 150 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 6: it's really about the running out of stockpiles plus economic pressure. 151 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 6: So we've been doing it to Iran, they're now doing 152 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,359 Speaker 6: it to us with the missile strikes and the attacks 153 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 6: specifically on energy production, and I honestly believe that the 154 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 6: Iranians probably have a better game plan here, because if 155 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 6: they are correct in their assessment that the stockpiles will 156 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 6: begin draining around this weekend, you're already seeing the transition 157 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 6: and munitions happening. That's partly because we're racing to stay 158 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 6: ahead of these munition shortages. If that's the case, then 159 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 6: the Iranian regime just has to hang on long enough 160 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 6: to create so much chaos around them and in the 161 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 6: world that in their mind, the Americans are forced to 162 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 6: back off. And I wouldn't be surprised if that's what 163 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 6: happens by the end of this thing, because the Iranians 164 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 6: have destroyed not only the Arab energy productions. Katar is 165 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 6: completely shut down now, Saudi Arabia is heavily degraded. The 166 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 6: Straits of Hormuz are closed, the Huthis are getting ready 167 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 6: to hit the Red Sea, They're getting ready to blockade 168 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 6: the Strait of Babel Mandeb. And now the Iranians have 169 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 6: pivoted and started attacking the jang Zhoor energy corridor in Azerbaijan. 170 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 6: So we are witnessing the mother of all attritional warfare 171 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 6: strategies that's pointed at the economics of the world, and 172 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 6: that will break America because we're heading into a midterm 173 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 6: and the Iranians are timing this perfectly with the political 174 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 6: situation in the United States. 175 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: My next question was going to be the longer this goes, 176 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: this becomes a mid term talking point, and I'm just 177 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: going to you know, maybe look at it from a 178 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: from a Democrat standpoint. They're going to use this against 179 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: Republicans going into the midterms, saying that when now we're 180 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: in a never ending war. However they want to phrase it, 181 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: and they will do that. 182 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 5: And they'll win on that because it's going to win 183 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 5: on that. 184 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 6: Yes, it's going to become that, and then they will 185 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 6: impeach the president unfairly or and this is we're going 186 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 6: to be living through twenty eighteen all over again. 187 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I think this is kind of a 188 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: one of the worst aspects of this war. Not only 189 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: does anybody want war. Look, let's just be clear, no 190 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: one's out there saying I really wish we got into 191 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: another war in twenty twenty six. It's no one thought that, Okay, 192 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: but we're in it. So we got to deal with it. 193 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: But how do you think that does weigh on the 194 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: voter going into this election in November. 195 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 6: Well, I think, first of all, a lot of Republicans, 196 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 6: contrary to whatever these you know, the pollsters have been 197 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 6: paid off as well, that Susan Wiles was very effective 198 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 6: in paying off a lot of right wing polsters who 199 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 6: otherwise would have been talking about the honesty, which is 200 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 6: that this is depressing Republican votes. So you're going to 201 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 6: see Republican votes depressed going into November if this continues 202 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 6: in perpetuity, and you will see the Democrats who are 203 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 6: galvanized at presidential election year levels just like twenty eighteen, 204 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 6: and ultimately going in the American people are going to 205 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 6: go everything's more expensive. The oil prices are now expensive, 206 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 6: Inflation has come back because the oil spiked, and we 207 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 6: are now going to vote Democrats and give them the 208 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 6: keys to the castle. 209 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 5: That's how this is going to play out in another 210 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 5: six or seven months. 211 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: Hmm. Unfortunately we know exactly what that leads to. Like 212 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: you that you implied impeachment and then just you don't 213 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: want the radical policies we don't want, right, it's coming, Yeah, 214 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: it's coming. If people want more information. This seems like 215 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: every week something develops.

Plus, all eyes 240 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: are on Texas. Who gets the president's endorsement John Cornyn 241 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: or Ken Paxton? And what if it could mean for 242 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: the race. 243 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 7: As American Sunrise Early dis She continues after the bread. 244 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: All right live look Atlanta, Georgia on this beautiful morning. 245 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: Glad you're with us on this Friday, Welcome back of 246 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: America Sunrise Early Edition. I am Brian Glenn. Thanks to 247 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: have you with us this morning. We're tracking the White House, 248 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: We're tracking the markets and the latest in the Middle East. 249 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: You can join the conversation on Getter, YouTube and Rumble. 250 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: Now let's check in with Wall Street as we head 251 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: towards the opening bell. Markets close sharply lower as tensions 252 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: in the Middle East rattled investors. Now, the dal Jones 253 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: plumbing seven and eighty four points, but that was kind 254 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: of a rebound to what it was earlier in the day. 255 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: The NaSTA Act, which you will se slipping fifty eight points, 256 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: so not too much off at twenty two seven four eight, 257 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: and the S and P five hundred falling more than 258 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: half a percent. Now the selloff is coming as investors 259 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: brace for a spike in energy prices. That spike now 260 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: showing up in energy markets now US crew surging more 261 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: than eight percent and closing at eighty one dollars a barrel, 262 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: a global bitchmark rent finishing at eighty five dollars a barrel. 263 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: That's a fifth straight day of gains on that and 264 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: natural gas also moving higher, as a national average for 265 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: gasoline now around three dollars and twenty five cents. I know, 266 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: I've seen it spike as much as fifty cents in 267 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: a day. And on these prices are climbing as a 268 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: conflict continues, prompting action from the White House, President Trump 269 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: moving quickly to keep the world's oil supply flowing. I 270 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: ran threatening the Straight of Harmouse, the narrow waterway that 271 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: carries about twenty percent of the world's oil, plunging tanker 272 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: traffic by ninety percent. But here's the real choke point. Insurance. 273 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: Most global shipping runs through the London based maritime insurers 274 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: like Lloyd's of London, and as the war escalates, coverage 275 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: dried up. Without insurance, Now tankers don't move, so President 276 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: Trump is stepping in, offering US government backed insurance and 277 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: naval escorts to keep those ships moving through the Gulf. 278 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: Joining US now is global economic strategist Michael Wilkerson. He 279 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: is a founder of storm Wall Advisors and the author 280 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: of Why America Matters, The Case for a New Acceptalism. Michael, 281 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: with oil spiking and shipman, you know, shipping under threat 282 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: right now, how important are these steps from the US 283 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: to keep energy and global trade moving. 284 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 8: Well, I think for the moment they remain symbolic. Unfortunately, 285 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 8: because they're not implemented. What you have here are insurers, 286 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 8: mostly based through the London Club called Lloyd's of London, 287 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 8: a mutual insurer. These parties come in and insurance traits 288 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 8: have spiked. Now to protect a ship it could be 289 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 8: one to two million dollars per shipment, But even then 290 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 8: the shifts aren't actually moving. So I think what President 291 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 8: Trump has offered could be interesting if it's implemented, It's 292 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 8: going to take some time to turn it from a 293 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 8: promise into an actual working tool. In the meantime, as 294 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 8: you noted, even this morning, oil prices continue to rise 295 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 8: from the levels that you mentioned closing yesterday, So the 296 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 8: closure of the straight of Hoorn moves has become the 297 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 8: critical choke point here, affecting not just the Middle East, 298 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 8: but really countries around the world. 299 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: You know, I've heard some conversations about President Trump tapping 300 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: into the petroleum oil reserves to try and kind of 301 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: put more product on the market to help lower those prices, 302 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: and I'm hoping I've got that straight. Is there any 303 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: validity to that or does that be something that would work? 304 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: What's your thoughts on that? 305 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 8: So, I think President Trump was extremely critical of Biden 306 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 8: administration's move to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. President Trump 307 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 8: had left it nearly full when he left office, and 308 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 8: in order to try to achieve a political outcome, which 309 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 8: is lower gas prices in advance of the midterms, President 310 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 8: Biden's administration reduced the Strategy Petroleum Reserve, accessed it and 311 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 8: drained it to less than half. The point of the 312 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 8: reserve is really for a national emergency, not as a 313 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 8: political tool for price control. I don't think that President 314 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 8: Trump will likely use it again. The US situation is 315 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 8: different than the rest of the world. We have domestic supply, 316 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 8: we have the ability to bring more resources on line. 317 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 8: I would be surprised if he actually uses it, because 318 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 8: it could be a tool for opponents to claim he's 319 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 8: being hypocritical here. 320 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: I agree, And of course you would have to refill 321 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: those reserves with a much higher oil price at the 322 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: eighty dollars read rather than a lower price real Quickly, 323 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: your forecast for summertime vacation travel going into May and June, 324 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people packing up the car going for 325 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: that family road trip. Summer vacation might cost him a 326 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 1: little bit more this year. But how far or how 327 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: much more I should say, or we should we likely 328 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: see gas prices go. 329 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 8: Well, I mentioned you know, even as we've opened up 330 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 8: this morning, oil prices continue to rise, so up another 331 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 8: roughly five percent this morning from yesterday's close. We've seen 332 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 8: nearly a fifty percent rise in oil prices from six 333 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 8: months or so ago, and I think that is likely 334 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 8: to can continue. I don't think that there's going to 335 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 8: be an immediate turn around. One of the I guess 336 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 8: errors that people make is to assume that wars will 337 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 8: end quickly. I don't think this one will be any different. 338 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 8: Around's capability is deteriorated, but nonetheless, the ability to harass 339 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 8: using these Shaheed drones in the Middle East against oil facilities. 340 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 8: I think it could lead to higher for longer in 341 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 8: terms of gas prices, which to your point, may impact 342 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 8: summer travel lands. 343 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: Michael, as always, we appreciate you being on the show 344 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: for people to have more information about what you do 345 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: in some valuable resource.

In two thousand and six, twenty thousand dollars 351 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: equaled roughly thirty three ounces of gold at spot price. 352 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: Now to day's prices, those thirty three ouces would be 353 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: worth about one hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. So 354 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. 355 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: And that's why you should consider buying gold from our 356 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: friends over at the Birch Gold Group.

A big primary shake up in Texas, 383 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: Congressman Dan Crenshaw losing his GOP primary to Texas State Rep. 384 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: Steve Toath. Crenshaw notable the only Texas Republican in Congress 385 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: who did not receive President Trump's endorsement. Now voters in 386 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: a deep red district just outside Houston choosing Toath, a 387 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: strong supporter of President Trump and the America First agenda, 388 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: and now he's headed to the general as a GOP nominee. 389 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: Joining us now is State Rep. Steve Toath Representative. Congratulations, 390 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: Thanks Brian, you willing to win the other night. Glad 391 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: to have us with us. Now, what was you hearing? 392 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: Most of the folks when you were out there of 393 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: the campaign wrote? What were they telling you? The reason 394 00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: why they wanted to vote for you? 395 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 9: Probably the biggest thing is the support that I've had 396 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 9: in the past from the President, and he endorsed me 397 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 9: in twenty twenty two and again in twenty twenty four. 398 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 9: It was the only stay Rep in Texas out of 399 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 9: one hundred and fifty. 400 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: It was endorsed by him in. 401 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 9: Both twenty twenty two in twenty twenty four. I've got 402 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 9: a real consistent record on the border, a fiscal hawk, 403 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 9: and I think that's what people are really looking for 404 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 9: more than anything right now. 405 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, I know you have a background in construction, 406 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: so you and President Trump probably have a little bit 407 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: in common as far as taking a project and making 408 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: sure it's complete. Now you're heading into a general here 409 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: in November, obviously is a very deep red seat. I 410 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: know we don't expect you to lose that at all. 411 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a guarantee you're going to d C. 412 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: When you're looking at everything right now, what would you 413 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: say your top priorities are Once you get into Congress, 414 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: they're sworn in for this next session, one of the 415 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: things that you want to try and improve. 416 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 9: I think the most important thing for this is going 417 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 9: to be a huge freshman class first, and one of 418 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 9: the things that I'm going to strongly impress upon my 419 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 9: colleagues is that we work really hard at codifying all 420 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 9: the executive orders over the next two years. I think 421 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 9: we need to put all the personal desires aside and 422 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 9: really work hard at codifying President Trump's executive orders. I 423 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 9: think I think that needs to be the top party 424 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 9: for all of us. 425 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: That that's probably the best thing you could have said, Steve. 426 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: And I'm being very honest with you, because I've been 427 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: very critical of this Congress right now not codifying all 428 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: these executive orders that strengthened this country. If we don't 429 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: put them into law, God forbids take over, they'll just 430 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: reverse every one of these executive orders, very much like 431 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: President Trump did on day one of his second term. 432 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: So that is the perfect And if people were watching 433 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: us in your district, I'm glad to do that now. 434 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: As far as you know what your constituents are telling you, 435 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are probably sad that you're, well, 436 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: not really sad, but you're going from their state rep 437 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: into the congressional rep. But to what are some of 438 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: the biggest accomplishments you've had in your district, sir. 439 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 9: So one of the things I'm absolutely most proud of 440 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 9: that we accomplished is two sessions ago or three sessions ago, 441 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 9: I introduced to bill House Bill thirty nine seventy nine 442 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 9: that banned the teaching of critical race theory in Texas 443 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 9: public schools. And it's funny because at the time when 444 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 9: I filed that bill, no one had ever heard of 445 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 9: critical race theory. Yet it was being broadly taught, the 446 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 9: foundation of it was being broadly taught in Texas schools. 447 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 9: And you know, twenty years ago, Republicans fifteen years ago, 448 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 9: I should actually say, Republicans were winning statewide elections with 449 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 9: twenty three points margins. Now we're winning them with eight 450 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 9: point margins. And it's not from people moving into Texas. 451 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 9: It's our children. We're raising a generation of Marxists and 452 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 9: right off from underneath us, and parents didn't even know 453 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 9: about it, and which is why that legislation was so 454 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 9: critically critically important. 455 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: Well, we certainly appreciate you being on the forefront of that. 456 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: I know as a parent of three a little bit 457 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: older now, but that a lot of that was a 458 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: major concern and is a major concern now. I just 459 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: want to applaud you for running a great race. It's 460 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: not easy taken out in acumbent They've got the name recognition, 461 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: they've got years there in office. A lot of people 462 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: just mail it in and vote for the incumbents. So 463 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: what you've done is simply amazing. Thank you for supporting 464 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: President Trump, Thank you for supporting the people there in 465 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: the Houston area. And I just wish you continued success. 466 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: And like I said, that first question, the way you 467 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: answered it is all I needed to know about what 468 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: you're focused on going into this now. It's true because 469 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: I've been screaming from the rooftops that we have not 470 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: done our job, and I just want you to stay 471 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: true to that commitment and hold Speaker Johnson and hold 472 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: other Republicans around you accountable for what they for what 473 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: they promised their constituent. Steve. 474 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 9: Thanks Brian. I really appreciate it.

So look, there's so much to 506 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: get to. 507 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 10: The shakeup in the President's cabinet still has the nation's 508 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 10: capital buzzing this morning. Now, former Secretary of Homeland Security 509 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 10: Christy Nome off the job after being fired, and Oklahoma 510 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 10: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen appears to be President Trump's pick 511 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 10: to replace her. 512 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, big moves there. 513 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 10: The move to pink Slipnome comes after she faced two 514 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 10: days of intense grilling before House and Senate judiciary committees. 515 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 11: It's not all bad. 516 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 10: News for the former North Dakota governor, though, as forty 517 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 10: seven is to be a Special Envoy for the Shield 518 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 10: of the Americas That basically is a new security initiative 519 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 10: focused on the Western Hemisphere. On our way out the door, 520 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 10: Gnome touted what she described as historic accomplishments at the 521 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 10: Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again and Brian. 522 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 10: In the meantime, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says 523 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 10: the administration will work to get Senator Mullen confirmed. 524 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 11: She describes him. 525 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 10: As a quote extraordinarily qualified person for this job. I 526 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 10: didn't see this coming. I did not have this on 527 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 10: my BINGO card at all. 528 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: Brian neither did I, and I don't think she did 529 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: as well. As she was in Nashville at a different 530 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: event when this. I think she was notified about this, 531 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: and she had to basically step in front of the 532 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: podium and deliver the message and take questions from reporters, 533 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: not even in regards to what she was there for. 534 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: You know, there were a couple of reasons why the 535 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: White House had pushed out obviously the two hundred million 536 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: dollar ad campaign. There were a little bit of discrepancies 537 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: of whether or not President Trump signed off on that 538 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: or not. There were some leadership questions in regards to Minneapolis, 539 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: and there was, you know, alleged affairs between with her. 540 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: I don't know in my opinion that has anything to 541 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: do with her job performance, but I do know that 542 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: that was not on my list of people in that administration. 543 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: That probably deserves a little bit of a slap on 544 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: the hand. Hey, she secure the border, I mean, she 545 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: did a phenomenal job on that. So that's what had 546 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: me scratching my head. Terrence on why she got the 547 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: pink slip. I thought she was doing a fairly great job, 548 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. 549 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, And of all the cabinet secretaries, she is probably 550 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 10: one of the more high profile ones. Obviously that position 551 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 10: may be also a bit more high profile, but if 552 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 10: you were to list off all of the cabinet secretaries, 553 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 10: one would think that Christy Nome would probably be among 554 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 10: the first that one would name. In other headlines, Brian 555 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 10: that US House joined the Senate and rejecting a war 556 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 10: powers resolution that have stopped President Trump's authority to continue 557 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 10: attacks on Iran. The measure failed by a pretty close margin, 558 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 10: two twelve to two nineteen. In the meantime, the US 559 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 10: Embassy in Kuwait is now the second American diplomatic mission 560 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 10: in the Middle East to shut down over Iranian strikes. 561 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 10: Iranian attacks on the country have already claimed the lives 562 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 10: of six American soldiers there. Their bodies are scheduled to 563 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 10: be returned to Dover, an Air Force Base in Delaware tomorrow. 564 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 10: President Trump will attend the dignified transfer service along. 565 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: With their families. That's going to be a sad day. 566 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 10: Speaking of the President, though he is on record this 567 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 10: morning saying that he wants to be involved in picking 568 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 10: Iran's next leader. Forty seven told Axios that the son 569 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 10: of the late Ayatola Motabo Kamani, who at the moment 570 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 10: is being considered a successor to the former Supreme Leader 571 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 10: Motabo Kamani, by the way, is the Sun is quote 572 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 10: unacceptable and a lightweight. 573 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 11: So look, Brian, I've. 574 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 10: Got to ask you this question, particularly since you have 575 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 10: worked in and around the White House so much. Initially 576 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 10: the narrative was this isn't about nation building, but then 577 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 10: for the President to say that he wants to be 578 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 10: involved in choosing the successor, it feels like, whether it 579 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 10: in fact is or not, it feels like nation building. 580 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: Oh, take nation building for one hundred place, Alex. That's 581 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: exactly what this is. Oh, this is exactly and I 582 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: don't mean to make a joke about it, but that's 583 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: exactly what it is. And you know, is it important 584 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: that we do get a leader in that country that 585 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: is not some radical, crazy person that we're going to 586 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, seven years from now, we're looking at the 587 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: same thing. We have the rallies telling us that there's 588 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons that we need to go in there, and 589 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 1: then next thing, you know, we're going in there again. 590 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: So I might agree with him on this as far 591 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: as having some type of say so, there it is. 592 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 10: And to be clear, Brian, I think that's probably the 593 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 10: smart thing. You want to make sure that you install 594 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 10: a government or leaders who aren't going to take us 595 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 10: back into the same old rat race. 596 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: But then say that from the beginning. 597 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 10: Uh, don't don't come out and say, oh, we're not 598 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 10: in the nation building went on. Just say all right, 599 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 10: we're going to finish this war once and for all, 600 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 10: and we're going to make sure that the new Iran 601 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 10: is an Iran that's friendly to the West and doesn't 602 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 10: take us back to where we have been. 603 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: I agree, Karence. I agreed. I think most Americans would 604 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: agree on that as well. You hate to go over 605 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: there and spend all this effort and time and lives 606 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: only to have to go revisit it years from now. 607 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: So I think it's I think it's fair to say 608 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 1: that it's okay. I support him on that, And when 609 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: I support the war, I want to I want to 610 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: get this thing over with us. We want to make 611 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: sure that if we're there, let's let's get it complete. 612 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't a big fan of going over their first place. 613 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: I was open about that. But we're in it parents, 614 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: so I want to win it, and I want to 615 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: make sure we're not revisiting this for your kids and 616 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: my kids. I want to make men we don't visit 617 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: this again. Amen to that. Hey, have a great weekend, Terrence, 618 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: and we'll see you back on American Sunrise. 619 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 10: See you Monday, Brian, have it, Thank you. 620 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: You got it all right. Let's head over to Washington 621 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: and Capitol Hill. Is a big shake up inside the 622 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: Trump administration. Homeland Security Secretary Christinmas Terrence said has been fired, 623 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: the first cabinet member to go in the president's second term. Now, 624 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: the move coming just hours after a pair of tense 625 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: Congressional hearings and on Capitol Hill, the House voting to 626 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: let Operation Epic Fury contenue, rejecting an effort to rein 627 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: in the president's war powers. Joining us now to talk 628 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: about both of those issues is National political reporter Neil McKay. Neil, 629 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 1: We'll start with Secretary Nome. We saw the press conference yesterday. 630 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: She wasn't in Nashville about that, but ended up being 631 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: about that. Your thoughts on Secretary Nome out at DHS. 632 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 12: Well, there are different things keeping Gnome in her job. Right, 633 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 12: do a good job, which she demonstrably did, but also 634 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 12: don't be a distraction for the White House. And this 635 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 12: White House, as you know, is very concerned that they 636 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 12: have a plan every day, they have a plan every week, 637 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 12: and if they have to start catching arrows for people 638 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 12: that they weren't expecting to catch arrows for, they find 639 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 12: that a distraction they and they want that gone. Gnome 640 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,839 Speaker 12: had some job security because she could always drop out 641 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 12: and run against Mike Rounds, the Republican senator from South Dakota. 642 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 12: The deadline for that primary was March thirty first, and 643 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 12: so you know that was always an. 644 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 11: Option for her. 645 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 12: After the thirty first, she loses that leverage. This move 646 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 12: works for her because she keeps her job, she stays 647 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 12: in the administration. She's now the envoy for the Shield 648 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 12: of the America's President Trump is hosting the summit for 649 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 12: the Shield of Americas at the Darrell Golf Course Saturday. 650 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 11: So that's going to be big. That's going to be important. 651 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 12: And I would delas who tell you, Brian, the Nome 652 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 12: camp did not see this coming. They were shocked, especially 653 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 12: by Senator Kennedy of Louisiana, who was particularly sarcastic and nasty. 654 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 12: But you know, he dropped a dagger on her, and 655 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,439 Speaker 12: that was it. 656 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: I have to think in a way, and I hate 657 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: to use the word planted, but it's almost like that 658 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: was a planted question. Look out of all the things 659 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: you could possibly talk about at this hearing, why would 660 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: you talk about an ad campaign that I saw in 661 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,800 Speaker 1: airports almost every single week going through real quickly thoughts 662 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: about hit her replacement, Mark Wing Mullens, Senator from Oklahoma, 663 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: thoughts on him. 664 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 12: I was at the Armed Services the Senator Armed Services 665 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 12: Hearing what tuesday. Mullen was the strongest defender of the president, 666 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 12: and his action, if you look at that tape, it 667 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 12: was like an audition tape for a job of the administration, 668 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,280 Speaker 12: is very strong. I also talked to Congressman Cole, Tom 669 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 12: Cole from Oklahoma. He told me that because because Mullin 670 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 12: was in the House for like ten years now he's 671 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 12: a senator, he has acted as a sort of laison 672 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 12: between senators and congressman on the Republican side, and he 673 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 12: has friends all over the building regardless of politics. 674 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: It's a good move. 675 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 12: Obviously, it's a safe move in this Senate because Senate 676 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 12: Republicans are going to give one of their colleagues a 677 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 12: hall pass, especially because there's a Republican governor Oklahoma, so 678 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 12: they won't lose that seat in an interim basis. So 679 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 12: it was the safe It was a safe choice, which 680 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 12: also ends up being a smart choice. 681 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: There you go, Neil mckag How can people follow you 682 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: on social media? 683 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 12: My friend, you can find me at reporter McCabe on 684 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 12: all the socials. 685 00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: There you go.

Welcome back to America Sunrise Early Edition. 712 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: I am Brian Glenn and joining us now is the 713 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: one and only David Brody. Who David, when was the 714 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: last time you've been in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It's been 715 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: a while for myself, Yeah, it's. 716 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 13: Been probably two years or so. I mean I go 717 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 13: to Florida all the time. I go about two or 718 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 13: three times a year, but not down to Fort Lauderdale. 719 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 11: Typically I kind of skip it. I don't know, maybe 720 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 11: I should go there. 721 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 1: I should we should go, yeah, we should go. Okay. 722 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: Yesterday and around what ten, around noon, Big News High Noon, 723 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: Christino pushed out at DHS. She was actually in Nashville 724 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: at a conference. It was supposed to deliver a message. 725 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: Obviously that was not the speech she gave. She took 726 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: some questions from reporters. But how surprised were you that 727 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: she got the pink slip yesterday? 728 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 13: I wasn't too surprised, but look, it happened pretty quickly. 729 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 13: And what I mean by that, as you know, Brian 730 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 13: is with the hearing just went horribly. And typically Trump 731 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 13: will give you some passes until he actually says. 732 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 11: No more, you're fired. But that hearing was just a 733 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 11: bridge too far. 734 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 13: And so it surprised me a little bit that it 735 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 13: was almost instantaneous in that sense because of that acute 736 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 13: situation with John Kennedy and the whole thing with the 737 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 13: two hundred and twenty million dollars AD buy and all that. 738 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 13: But I think it was obviously more than that, right, 739 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,919 Speaker 13: I mean, it was death by a thousand paper cuts, right, 740 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 13: I mean, it was everything he didn't like the Corey 741 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:05,919 Speaker 13: Lewandowski stuff. 742 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 11: She wouldn't deny that. I mean, that was just bad PR. 743 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:09,399 Speaker 11: And speaking of. 744 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 13: Bad PR, I think that's the overall point here is that, 745 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 13: you know, immigration is his number one issue as it 746 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 13: relates to the base and making sure that he gets 747 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 13: always gets positive marks on cleaning up this country in 748 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 13: terms of immigration. 749 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 11: But she was then she was becoming a net negative. 750 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 13: In that area just from a PR standpoint, and he 751 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,720 Speaker 13: couldn't let that go on because, as we know, Trump 752 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 13: loves some good PR. Who doesn't But Trump is keenly 753 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 13: aware that PR rules the day, and he gave her 754 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 13: a long leash here. But at some point it just 755 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 13: became a case of diminishing returns, right, Yeah. 756 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,359 Speaker 1: And then Senator Mark Wing Mullins from Oklahoma unfamiliar with him, 757 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: he had he was in Congress for a short amount 758 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: of time before he ran for Senate. It was an 759 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: open seat, won it. Now he's tapped for DHS secretary. 760 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 1: Thoughts on Marking. 761 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 11: Well, I mean, I think the jury is still out. 762 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 11: We don't know exactly. 763 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 13: You know, it's different when you're a senator compared to 764 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 13: running a you know, a cabinet level department, So we 765 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 13: just don't know exactly. 766 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 11: Having having said that. 767 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 13: You think from his bona fide is you think and 768 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 13: his resume that he will be good. 769 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 5: But then again, you. 770 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 13: Know, the wild card is President Trump. I mean, you know, 771 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 13: how does he get along with Trump? What does he 772 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 13: do to make sure that the ball is being marched 773 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 13: down the field. And I think for him the key 774 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 13: is going to be obviously Interior Enforcement. But I do 775 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 13: think that because, let's be honest, the administration pulled back 776 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 13: from Minneapolis and there's kind of been a recalibration on 777 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 13: all of that. I think that makes his job easier. 778 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 13: And so I think he'll probably do pretty well. He's 779 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 13: going to go it's gonna be smooth sailing through the 780 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 13: confirmation process. 781 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 11: That won't be an issue. 782 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 13: And look, the one thing I know he has going 783 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 13: for him, he's a former undefeated MMA fighter. 784 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 11: So if you're a former MMA fighter, a I want 785 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 11: to get into a disagreement with him because I will 786 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 11: be literally horizontal on the ground. 787 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,919 Speaker 13: But other than that, I just think that he's he's 788 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 13: up for the job, There's no doubt about it. 789 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be with you, horizontal on the ground. He 790 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: always bounces these balls walking through the halls of the 791 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: Senate too. It's pretty funny. Okay, let's transition over to Texas. Obviously, 792 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: the packsing Cornyn who's going to get the endorsement that 793 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: has continued to dominate the conversation. I know what my 794 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,839 Speaker 1: ex speed looks like. I would imagine yours is about 795 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: the same. Your thoughts on if and when this actually happens. 796 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 11: Well, can I just say one thing? 797 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 13: And you know, listen, I'm trying to do the bless 798 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,840 Speaker 13: your heart to President Trump, But you know, listen, is 799 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 13: that the most under democratic thing I've ever heard, you know, 800 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 13: a president saying, look, the minute I endorse, I need 801 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 13: you to get out of the race, and you know, 802 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 13: don't worry about what the voters. 803 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 11: Have to say. It's just like he's the kingpin. 804 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,720 Speaker 13: He's the I hate to call it, the mob boss 805 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 13: of kind of like, hey, this is how it's going 806 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 13: to go down. Listen, I get it. I understand what 807 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 13: he's trying to do. Right, it's gonna be a lot 808 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 13: of money. They got to spend money in other races 809 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 13: in Michigan and Ohio. I understand the thinking on it, 810 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 13: but just from a philosophical point of view. 811 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: The last thing you want to do is tell voters no, 812 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: you know what. 813 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 13: I've decided who's going to be senator and that's it. 814 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 11: I need everybody else to drop out. I just it's 815 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:29,280 Speaker 11: just dirty. 816 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,040 Speaker 1: I don't like it. 817 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 11: I don't like it at all.
