Byron Donalds introduced a resolution that declares fatherhood \"essential to the development of all children,\" and he discussed the rationale on American Sunrise.

Why it matters: congressional resolutions can signal priorities and influence public conversation even when they do not carry the force of law.

Asked about the measure, Owens said fathers have responsibilities to \"protect, provide, partner,\" and to teach young men to \"respect women\" and give young women an idea of \"what the ideal husband should be.\" He described the family as \"the very core of this whole process\" and said the resolution aims to restore a focus on parental responsibility. \"I'm passionate about this,\" Owens said, adding a personal note that his father \"is my best friend\" and \"a disciplinarian.\"

Owens also characterized long-term efforts to undermine families as politically motivated, saying \"the hard left, the Marxists have have attacked American family for for decades, and it came after the black community first.\" Those statements are Owens's characterizations and were made in the interview.

Action: Owens said he and Rep. Byron Donalds introduced the resolution; the interview did not include further procedural details, text of the resolution, or information on any committee referral or dates for consideration.

The remarks were commentary and an explanation of the sponsors' rationale; no legislative vote or committee action occurred during the program.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","OWENS: Passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Ushers in the Golden Age for America's Middle Class","oneSentenceSummary","Representative Burgess Owens said he and Rep.

Why it matters: tax and social-policy changes negotiated between the House, Senate and White House can affect take-home pay, family benefits and economic incentives for millions of households.

Owens told the hosts the bill focuses on the middle class, which he called the core of American culture. \"Our middle class is where the American culture is divided, is is defined and and and push forward,\" he said. He said the bill contains several provisions he favors, and listed examples on air: payments tied to new babies, a 15% tax provision he said had been \"close to $10,000 take home,\" and changes to the tax treatment of tips and overtime that he portrayed as reductions in workers' tax burdens.

Owens said the measure will go through a reconciliation-like process in Congress and that it is now in the U.S. Senate's hands: \"At this moment, the ball is in the U.S. Senate's court,\" the host noted and Owens agreed that differences remain between the House-passed package and what negotiators in the Senate are working on.

The interview featured political commentary and no formal legislative action by Owens in the program; he described his priorities for the bill but did not provide legislative text or specify enactment timing.","On American Sunrise, Representative Burgess Owens described provisions he supports in the bill known on the program as the \"1 big beautiful bill,\" emphasizing middle-class benefits and saying the measure is now being reconciled in the Senate.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":78,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6184965,"Owens says he trusts Trump on Iran response, stops short of endorsing specific strike",5,5740,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5084432-c3f0ee8acce47db34176ee7e01915453&start=0&end=5","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5084432-c3f0ee8acce47db34176ee7e01915453/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6184965/Utah/Owens-says-he-trusts-Trump-on-Iran-response-stops-short-of-endorsing-specific-strike","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184965-ee03dffe0f7008e5efd91e2a31b035dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140629&Signature=Axo8vt5IbR-WgcQtzu~sQMRl9O7bDuH6cNcvre898hhFd2FKIb~42Wt4b4Sio-cMFXGm50NGxmMXt2fuyM1Np-YafqBKR1TSda4KFK2crZuZoJ95OmPTbVXTMMwqmhkTc1ZOIP6r4Ip4m4YmNm5YH3KeeBxMrooLXtx43wnIkELSZ~n9vXp6njwOQrWuQAb61qfefOyhxK3TQ3MKReD~8L0tqZiGkaiScIpNVHnpgfPfFUSRU8-kJ~sOrAMdIir6j2x7BhBOjtG5q1IiRtuJY78HSSO4wp-Bf1AiuA-xV9XToXPAttk3mqoOak34oOEpxYhZY-ai57kmxY9o27URGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Congressman Burgess Owens, a U.S. representative from Utah, told American Sunrise he trusts President Trump to make the \"right decisions\" about a possible U.S. response to Iran after the president's social-media posts warning Tehran.

The host read excerpts of the post on air, saying it included the phrase \"unconditional surrender\" and other warnings that \"we're not going to take him out, at least not for now\" and that \"our patience is wearing thin.\" Those lines were read on the program as part of a larger post the host described as addressing Iran's leadership.

Why it matters: public comments by the president and senior lawmakers can shape U.S. strategy and regional tensions. Owens' remarks came amid questions on whether the administration would authorize kinetic strikes on Iranian facilities or pursue other measures.

Owens said he trusts Trump's judgement and emphasized that the president has assembled a cabinet that understands the consequences of action or inaction. \"I trust president Trump,\" Owens said. He described the adversary as \"pure evil\" and said \"when there's pure evil, there's no wisdom, there's no common sense.\" He added, \"Personally, I think it'd be nice not to have the nuclear, on the table at all.\"

Owens also said he hopes for a negotiated outcome and that colleagues he has spoken with remain \"hopeful that we can come to a negotiated agreement.\" He referenced the October 7 attacks as part of his explanation of \"who we are up against,\" and said the situation has persisted for \"25 plus years.\"

The interview did not record Owens making a direct, on-the-record endorsement of a particular military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Hosts pressed him on whether he supported a \"big U.S. airstrike\" on an Iranian nuclear site; Owens reiterated trust in the president and discussed the broader aim of reducing the nuclear threat but did not announce a specific endorsement or policy change.

No formal actions or policy decisions were taken during the interview; Owens' comments were discussion and commentary provided in response to interview questions.","On American Sunrise, Congressman Burgess Owens said he trusts President Trump to make the right call on any action toward Iran after the president's social-media posts, but Owens did not explicitly endorse a U.S. airstrike on Iran's nuclear facilities.","actionData","errors"]
