Grant Stinchfield
Well, good evening everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. So the UFO files that we were told didn't exist for decades. We have been told this were actually released today, the first batch of them. Anyway, we're told there'll be a wave of these new files coming out. It's video and pictures from all over the world. Now, there are still many questions, like what's in the video? In fact, most of these pictures and video you're about to see, they're unexplained. The government can't tell you what it is. There were literally thousands of pages of pictures in this one drop. It'll take a long time for everyone to go through it. But I want to show you this picture. This is in the Middle East. They call this the chandelier. UFO Star VO1. If we could put that up onto the screen. There you go. They call it the chandelier because it looks like a chandelier. And these similar pictures had been seen all over the place. UFOs like this. UAPs, whatever you want to call it. The next one is from. Also from the Indo Pacific. And this is odd because you see this strange flying aircraft weaving and bobbing in between windmills. Those are ocean windmills you see on your screen there. Again, the government telling us they can't explain what it is. So, again, most of this is unexplained. There was no proof inside this release today that aliens exist, at least not that we've seen or that's been found in this release. No word that there were downed alien aircraft in the United States. Government was in possession of that. We'll see if that comes out. We're told the releases are going to get better and better as we move forward. This is only the first. Here's Congressman Burchett.
Congressman Burchett
Recently, we have sworn testimony that there are recovered alien bodies. That is sworn testimony under oath, not a secure setting. And nobody batted an eye, nobody laughed.
Grant Stinchfield
So the President had vowed transparency. I mean, I want to know if there's alien bodies. I think all of you, why am I leading this program with this? Because inquiring minds want to know. But I'm grateful to President Trump because this is about transparency. And I'm not even convinced that the President of the United States, not this president, not past presidents, we're getting the full story because the deep state is so real.
Congressman Burchett
Burchett, again, I don't think Trump knows. I mean, these people have kept this stuff secret. Here's another thing. I was in at one meeting and a guy said. I said, what about the President on this? And he said, the president's on a need to know basis. Now that's a federal employee saying that he or she has information that the president is not allowed to see. And I just was aghast.
Grant Stinchfield
And you should be, because President Trump's the commander in chief. He's the boss of bosses. But this is why I tell you the deep state is very, very real. This is a transcript. It was interesting. It was released from the Apollo 17 mission. And this is they were seeing very strange, odd things out the window. Now we've got a few very bright particles or fragments or something that go drifting by as we maneuver. That from the Crew Pilot Apollo 17 transcript goes on to say, pilot Harrison Schmitz says, there's a whole bunch of big ones on my window down there, just bright. It looks like the 4th of July out Ron's window. This is pictures of the images from the lunar surface. Now, they described it like fireworks and then they had this from the lunar surface. All of it very odd, all of it piquing my interest even more. I want to bring in to discuss that now chief historian and archivist at the National UFO Historical Records center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, Barry Roth is with us. Barry, welcome back to the show.
Barry Roth
It's great to be back. Grant, thanks a lot.
Grant Stinchfield
Great having you on. Barry, what did you make of today's release? How consequential is it? Was there anything you didn't know? Lay it on me.
Barry Roth
Well, I mean, these were documents that were declassified that I haven't seen before and I don't think any of the general public has. It takes a lot to declassify and go through documents. I know I've done some experimentations going through 1500 pages and removing witness names and contact information. And it's quite tiresome and weary to go through all that. So. But I appreciate the, the, a lot of this came from the All Domain Anomaly Resource Office from Arrow and, and obvious they didn't want to reveal, you know, sources and methods and anything else that could be military sense, something very sensitive. So when I looked at some of the videos in here, you had the chandelier one. I thought that the, the one in, in the Middle east with the orb moving through the windmills, it was hard to say if it was behind the windmill or it just kind of dimmed as it went by the windmill. So that could have been at a much higher elevation as it passed through the windmill. So it might not have been weaving and bobbing in between. It might have been at several thousand feet above. What was interesting about that video, though, was One, there was instantaneous acceleration that occurred where it was going from pretty much a very slow speed to moving quite fast. And there was not much of a turning radius, so it seemed to reverse direction. Once again, helicopters might be able to reverse direction, but they can only go at a certain speed. This looks like it's moving pretty quickly. I mean, I'm going to guess it might be moving at hundreds of miles an hour and, and it's also changing direct direction instantaneously. So I found that to be interesting and that the, the other video which had looked like a fixed platform with three objects on it that were lit also, it wasn't much to tell without any provenance behind the video or any, any kind of narrative like what was happening before that video was shot. It's, it's, it's interesting and I'm looking forward to additional documents being released.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, there was a rendering that was also released by the FBI. I guess it was a government artist that took witness statements and rendered this. Had you heard of a UFO or UAP that looks like that someplace out there?
Barry Roth
I can tell you that at the National UFO Historical Record Center. Yeah, we've got a variety of US artist sketchings from the 40s up until the 2020. And that shape is not that uncommon. It was originally called a cigar shape. At times it was called a Tic Tac. But what's interesting about these shapes, Grant, is that there's no flight surfaces on them. So you don't see wings, you don't see a stabilizing unit, you don't see a plume, you don't see engines. You just see this object and they tend to move in either direction simultaneously. Without a build up to speed, it becomes instantaneous. So if it's moving, let's say at 700 miles an hour, it didn't build up to 700, it was instantly moving at 700.
Grant Stinchfield
Wow. All right, amazing. So in this, as I went through it and I didn't have a lot of time to go through every, I mean there were literally thousands of pages. I downloaded the first. I woke up this morning and I saw it. I went to the first, first one and it was 186 pages, the first download. So then I was like, oh boy, this is going to take a larger, a larger process. But even when I was reading there weren't a lot of answers here. Were you hoping to get answers of what some of these things may have been what they were claiming they were? And it was a lot of, we don't know.
Barry Roth
I think that's going to be pretty standard of the initial dump of documents that comes out is going to be one in which there's going to be visually interesting documents, there's going to be narrative there, there's going to be chain of custody moving through. In the early 40s, the air material Command, you know, the, the chief of staff over at the Air Force or the Pentagon. So it's interesting to read who is communicating with who. We have a lot of that at the center also. But what I'm interested in is, are any of these documents involve case files that we already have at the, at the, at the National UFO Historical Records center that involved the center for UFO Studies or the National Investigative Committee on Area Phenomena or the Area Phenomena Resource Organization or Project Blue Book or military files. Can we now bring out copies and correlate them with it?
Grant Stinchfield
And I guess that's going to be the work you're headed out to do. Barry Roth, real quick. Yes, yes, it is a lot of
Barry Roth
work to kind of go through all this. But once again, when you integrate files, you know, a single witness might be insufficient data because it's a single witness. But you start adding in other groups and realize there's two to three witnesses, maybe there was a law enforcement or military and it adds credibility.
Grant Stinchfield
It sure does. Barry Roth, always fascinating to talk to you. This is exciting times for certainly in the field that you're studying. Please keep us posted if you find anything big in this. We'll get you back on right away and we'll keep, keep talking as more files are released. Thank you.
Barry Roth
Well, if we find a smoking gun, we'll let you know.
Grant Stinchfield
I hope you will. Thank you. All right, his website. N U F N U F O H R c dot org okay. And ufo hrc dot org all right, now I want to talk to the hantavirus. You've now heard about this coming out. I have a real prediction and that I'm going to make. I believe you're about to see a fear campaign unfold. I about to believe you're about to see the Democrats use the Hansavirus as, I don't know, a tool to steal an election yet. I'm not sure America will stand for this. But when you look at this campaign with this new virus that's out, it's all very similar. This is the headline from just recently. Okay, this says hantavirus outbreak kills three on cruise ship in Atlantic Ocean. Who says? That's from this week. We know that cruise ship was there and I thought, wait a second. This is how Covid started. Covid started with a big headline about that ship in Italy. Remember this from The Guardian in 2020. The similarities are very eerie. This says 6,000 passengers stuck on cruise ship in Italy over coronavirus fears. Now what normally happens here as this psyop unfolds is the leaders will tell you there's nothing to worry about. That's how they did it during COVID That's how they're doing it right now. While this is a serious incident, WHO
Greg Hartley
assesses the public health risk as low.
Grant Stinchfield
Now take a look at a tweet from 2020 from the World Health Organization. Same message. Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human to human transmission of the novel coronavirus. So this is how folks, they set you up, okay? And then they dispatch the media for the fear campaign. We all remember the Corona virus fear campaign. Just look at CNN this week,

than two dozen passengers from 12 different countries possibly exposed to the Hunter virus on board the MV Hondius cruise ship already on the move around the world. The cruise company Oceanwide expeditions confirming that 29 passengers got off the ship at St Helena and one by body was removed.
Grant Stinchfield
Body removed, sirens going, scare you to death. Now they'll also play the blame game. And they know President Trump stands in the way of their possible plot to try to do what they did during 2020. So they march out the architect of the pandemic, one of them at least. The ex CDC director Frieden. Roll it. You know, Boris, I think the bigger story here is that this outbreak shows how unprepared we are because this administration has hollowed out the cdc, walked away from who and because of that, Americans are more vulnerable and we are less safe. You see the similarities? Don't forget when coronavirus started with a bat or a pangolin. Now this one's a rodent virus that could be transmitted to humans. Humans? Transmitted? I don't know what to believe. But I'm telling you right now, hantavirus has been around a long time. I used to go camping a lot east of fearful in some of these huts in the woods. You would want to be careful of that. I don't think this is anything to worry about. That's my opinion. But I want to bring in a real expert. Chief of disaster and emergency medicine for the Wellness Company. Dr. Kelly Victory is back with us. Dr. Victory, it's great to have you on.
Dr. Kelly Victory
Thanks for having me.
Grant Stinchfield
Grant, do you see the same similarities I see as the way they're planning and plotting this thing out?
Dr. Kelly Victory
Well, absolutely. There certainly are a lot of similarities. And I think that the people controlling the narrative are banking on the fact that the average individual doesn't understand the difference between hantavirus and coronavirus. They certainly are taking advantage and inserting unnecessary drama into this with photo ops, as you said, people in hazmat suits and a lot of drama around that. The reality about hantavirus, it's a very real virus, but unlike coronavirus, it is not a respiratory virus. It is a virus that is spread largely through feces, urine and saliva of infected rodents. So people are at risk if they are in rodent infested areas. Certainly people who sweep out barns and attics and basements and cabins where there may be rodent droppings and that can be aerosolized. All of that said, since we have been doing surveillance on hantavirus in the United States since 1993. From 1993 to 1923, during that 30 year period, there were a total of 890 cases in the U.S. which means less than 30 cases per year. And a heck of a lot of people sweep out cabins and basements and attics and barns that have rodent droppings. So it simply is not a high risk. Furthermore, this issue of human to human transmission has not been proven. There is a single strain called the Andes strain which we are being told has been identified on this ship and that purportedly can. It's the only strain that can potentially be transmitted human to human. But it takes a lot of really close contact, prolonged contact. Unlike again, coronavirus, that's very easily transmitted from one to another. Influenza, common colds, those things are easily transmitted. Hantavirus is not. So the only thing I think I've ever agreed with Dr. Tedros from the who about is what he just said right there, which is that this is simply a low risk.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, so my son comes home, he's going to be 17 in a little bit. And he was on to the whole scam of the, of the plan Demic. He says, dad, this one's different. 45% death, death rate on this. You get, I'm like, dude, calm down. But this is the stat they're pushing out there. That sounds frightening, Dr. Victory.
Dr. Kelly Victory
Absolutely. And part of that, that really, that statistic grant is misleading because many of the outbreaks in the United States, as I said, we have less than 30 a year. Many of the areas of the world that have more, you know, larger outbreaks because of sanitation issues or rodent population also don't have as ready access to good medical care. So those you know, if you don't go to see a doctor and you don't have access to an icu, should you get significantly ill, if you don't have access to antivirals and steroids and the other things that you would need to get you over this, then that mortality rate could be significantly higher. And that is concerning. But the reality, again, is that what we have right now is three people proven to have this virus. Whether or not they got it and transmitted to each other or just got it through exposure to rodent droppings on this small expedition boat is unclear.
Grant Stinchfield
We know the media is going to take it and run with it, that's for sure. Dr. Victor, I'm so grateful for you laying out the facts to us because they're few and far between on the mainstream media outlets. Thank you, as always. We appreciate your work you do with the wellness Company as well. We'll see you soon.
Dr. Kelly Victory
Thanks very much, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
All right. Absolutely. All right. So I'm going to be watching the media on this one. You watch. They're going to try to do something like that. They'll be rolling out the next shot vaccine, whatever next. You wait and see. All right, I want to turn now to Iran. This cease fire, that's the craziest cease fire ever seen. The shots keep going between each side and each side says nobody's breaking the cease fire. Fine. The United States military just took out two tankers that were empty, but they were breaking the blockade. And so, you know, our military says you're not getting through this blockade. They took out the rudder on these ships, making them basically useless. And nobody's going to cross Trump. Now to the idea of a deal. Rubio says a deal could be made soon. They've given the proposal to the Iranians. They're waiting for that to come back today. In other news on this, and maybe even more concerning to me is the Iranian espionage apparatus appears to still be operating. Israel arrested two. And we can go to the Israel video. Israel arrested two. Two of their members of the military. And I think we have video. Therehere we go. Two of the members of the military that were apparently involved in gathering espionage and intelligence for Iran. They were recruited over social media. I want to bring in now former FBI special agent and Navy SEAL retired Jonathan Gilliam to the program. Jonathan, it's great to see you again. Welcome back.
Jonathan Gilliam
Good to be with you, my friend.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Jonathan. So they're using social media, Facebook, WhatsApp to recruit these folks. There was one group they paid $300,000. One Iron Dome reservist got $1,000. He was allegedly sending pictures back to the Iranians. Is it that easy to recruit a source inside the Israeli army and God forbid, the American military?
Jonathan Gilliam
I think it is, because. So we've gone after. And President Trump's done an amazing job going after the things that we needed to militarily, to hit Iran, to cripple their ability to fly in the air, have their ships on the water and troops to maneuver and to resupply their proxies, all these things. But what I don't think has been decimated is Iran's intelligence apparatus, which is one of the top five in the world. And as you can see, Grant, by the propaganda that has affected the United States with, for instance, Gays for Palestine. Right. That, I think is a blaring example of what happens when propaganda can be pushed into social media, typically through liberals and leftists. And also, I would say, to the right, a lot of. A lot of, I think of these influencers who are leading people astray. All of that goes back to narratives that come from Iran and their intelligence agency. And I think when you look at the fact that here's the. Here's the downside with Israel. Israel is 80% or more atheist. They don't even believe in God. Hard to believe that that's true. But when you have people who are dedicated to their nation, their nation was founded on the principles that it was a. That they are the chosen people of God and people don't even believe. Well, when they get. When they're liberal and when they are recruited, they can. They are emotional like the liberals here, some of the Israelis, and it would be very easy to recruit those people. I'd be interested to know, Grant, if those people have dual citizenship from America, by the way.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, it would be interesting, certainly, to find out. By my count, after researching this, they found 20 cases. This is in Israel, 20 cases of these people being recruited to create, to conduct espionage for Iran. 50 suspects total. And I guess, Jonathan, that gets back to the fact. Look, if Israel is vulnerable to this, we always think of them having the best espionage apparatus, the intelligence apparatus of any nation in the world. Could this be happening in the United States? And do we have the apparatus to root it out? If it is, Jonathan, the answer, the
Jonathan Gilliam
first part, yes, 100%. Look, if you look back at Q and on and you look at how ridiculous that was, look how many good patriotic conservatives fell for that mess. Look how they're falling for this stuff now with Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, I mean, all they can be easily swayed. That's the right, the left. Look at Minneapolis. Look at the craziness in these people's eyes. So, yes, it is very easy to sway people now because of social media is in their homes and in their heads, and it's everywhere they go. And people don't research, they don't do their own due diligence. There's no critical thinking. And so when that is a societal trait, it's easy to flip people. Do we have the resources to combat it? I believe we do. But we have to go after those intelligence apparatuses and we have to start crippling those. And we. Cash Patel should have realized this already. Sources are the name of the game. There's sources out there that will tell you everything you need to know. You just have to work those sources.
Grant Stinchfield
It's great advice. Jonathan Gilliam, as always, it's great to see you. Thank you for your service to this country and of course, thank you for coming on the program, too. We appreciate it.
Jonathan Gilliam
Thank you, brother. Thank you.
Grant Stinchfield
All right. Well, it's scary stuff that their intelligence apparatus is still operating. Israel rooting it out. Let's see if America roots it out here because, you know, they got their tentacles into the United States.
Karen Bass
All right.
Grant Stinchfield
This may be one of the most compelling domestic energy opportunities I've seen in years. It's why I am involved with Lost Soldier Oil and Gas in Wyoming's Bison Basin region. If you're an accredited investor, you want to take a look at this, you've got tax advantages on this. Thanks to President Trump's one big, beautiful bill, you're looking at sometimes up to 100% tax deduction off of what's being made here. Unbelievable. And then you've got stock ownership in a company that plans are to take Lost Soldier public. You would benefit off of that last time they did this. This management team, 100 to one on money and a thousand to one on money. 40,000 acres of stacked natural gas, high pressure gas. They know it's there. They found it already. Now they're giving you the opportunity to get involved. Three to five years to start cashing out on this. This looks great to me. Take a look. Go to lostsoldier.com. that's lostsoldier.com. scan the QR code right there. A member of the team will get right back to you. Lost soldier dot com. Tell them Grant Stitchfield sent you. All right. A huge win coming out of Virginia today, which spells good news for Republicans in the midterms Next.

Welcome back everyone. You don't think we have a problem with the election system in America? Listen to this story. Humboldt County, California, a blue county with a lot of red pockets. Lo and behold, from the November 4th election to today, they now found 600 unopened ballots for that redistricting proposition that they had up for ballot. 600 unopened ballots. They say. Oh, it wouldn't have swayed the election. But here's the deal. I want to know exactly where this Dropbox was that they didn't know where it was. Was this from one of the red counties and was this on purpose? I'm calling on the federal government to instantly investigate this. Remember, Humboldt county had 199 votes that were somehow unaccounted for because of a software glitch in a recent election. A software glitch? Nothing adds up on on that front. Now to to Tennessee, which passed a new map which could bring Republicans to a 9 to 0 advantage for congressional seats in Tennessee. This is huge. You better believe Democrats went crazy over this. Of course this is in response to what obviously Democrats are doing in California. But of course Democrats got to make it all about race and the racist white folks. This is about attacking, targeting and cracking District 9 into pieces for more political and racial dominance and white supremacy in the state of Tennessee. Tennessee is an overwhelmingly red state. What it's doing is restoring what the people voted for just like they did in Connecticut and Massachusetts and Maine and New Hampshire. Okay, Tennessee is doing the same thing The Democrats are mad because they've already done it. So they don't have any blood to pull from a stone now because they've already gamed the system now to Virginia. Well, that was one place Democrats could act. But Virginia is basically a 50, 50 state and they wanted to take it from a 6, 5 Democrat advantage in Congress to a 10 to 1 advantage in a 5050 state. That's just flat out wrong. Well, guess what happened? The Virginia Supreme Court said they threw the maps out. Here's the former Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
Don Brown
So the commonwealth have any recourse or way to appeal the ruling? No, they do not. As I mentioned, the Virginia Supreme Court is the final authority on Virginia constitutional questions. This is the end, folks.
Grant Stinchfield
So when you look at what Florida is doing, what Tennessee is doing, what Texas did now, Virginia getting flipped into flux. It sure looks like Republicans may end up with a very big advantage going into the midterms. That would be great news. By the way, I want to bring in now former US Navy JAG officer, former federal prosecutor. Our good friend Don Brown is back with us tonight. Don, welcome.
Don Brown
Good to be here, Grant. Thanks for having me.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Don, you've been in and around the courts. What does this mean for Virginia? So if Ken Cuccinelli says they don't have any recourse, they have to go back to the old map, right?
Don Brown
Well, you know, it's ut this up pretty well. There are six New England states up there that have 21 Democrat congressmen and not one Republican. That includes Massachusetts, which is about 40%. You know, look at Maine and New Hampshire, about 46% Republican. The Democrats have been up these shenanigans for years. And now that the Supreme Court is moving away from race based gerrymandering, you can't do that anymore. The Democrats got so desperate in Virginia, they violated their own constitution on two fronts. Number one, they come up with this, with this wording in this vote that they had amongst the people saying, would you like the General assembly to be able to restore fairness to congressional lines? So it's totally ambiguous and they did not give themselves enough time. They're supposed to give themselves 90 days. Under the Virginia Constitution, Ken Cuccinelli is all marked. This is unconstitutional under that Constitution. At the beginning, the circuit court struck it down. The Virginia Supreme Court struck it down today. And so it's been a good couple of weeks for fairness in congressional election maps. With the Supreme Court's case last week of Calais vs. Louisiana and Abbott vs. LULAC out of Texas. When the Republicans now start to do what the Democrats have done for many, many years, they cry wolf. That is just too bad. Equal protection clause prevents racial gerrymandering in districts. And I'm good to glad to see some positive news come out of Washington for a change.
Grant Stinchfield
What do you think will happen in Tennessee if Tennessee Republicans do this? To go to a 10 to 1, I guess is what they were saying. What will happen in Tennessee? Will that hold up or will the courts rule against Republicans like they did Democrats?
Don Brown
Well, you look to the two significant cases coming out of SCOTUS. Just last week, Calais v. Louisiana, 2024. A judge tried to force the Louisiana legislature to draw another map, an African American map based upon race. SCOTUS shot that down in a 63 decision. You can't draw maps based upon race. But the Constitution of the United States has a thing called the time, place and manner clause as Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1, giving the states the right, the legislatures the right to draw the maps however they want to draw the maps. And if those Tennessee lines are not drawn racially, they're going to hold just like, just like Texas is now holding, just like Louisiana is holding, like Florida is going to hold. North Carolina is making some changes. And so I think those the Tennessee legislature can do what it wants to do under the federal constitution.
Grant Stinchfield
I said 10:1 just to correct myself. It's 9:0 in Tennessee. And look, this gets back to what I've always said. Elections have consequences. And you vote people in office, they have a right to draw the lines. You want to change it, elect somebody else in the next time they draw the lines or move to a different state. You still have choices. It's not like you don't have a choice. Don, I'll ask you this last question. You know, you were in a tough race yourself. Do you feel good now? Does this help us in the midterms with what we're seeing across the country?
Don Brown
Well, I think so. I think we're going to pick up, as I mentioned to someone the other day in another interview, I think it's going to give us an opportunity, probably the best opportunity to hold the House of Representatives. You know, we may pick up as many as 11 votes. When you look at Texas with possibly five, Florida with four, North Carolina is going to pick up one or two there. In Tennessee, it's trending in the right direction and fair is fair. If the Democrats can do this with their legislatures in the Northeast and in California, we can do it in red states as well. I think it's a positive sign. We get gas prices down a little bit and get these redrawns thrown, we're going to be in good shape. I think.
Grant Stinchfield
I think you're right. Don Brown, always great to see you. Have a good weekend my friend.
Don Brown
You too. Thank you, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely. It was a good week on the election law front for Republicans this week and we'll continue to watch this as it plays out. When there are supply constraints on commodities prices surge.

Welcome back everyone. It's Friday, so you know what that means. Best segment of the week, Body Language. I want to bring in now the host of the behavior panel on YouTube, former military interrogator. He is still a body language and behavior expert. Our official chief body language expert, Greg Hartley is here. Greg, welcome to the program, buddy. It's good.
Greg Hartley
Thanks, Grant. Always my pleasure to be here.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, so we had a couple big debates. I want to go through that. I want to Start with the LA mayorial debate. Let's roll the first clip. Karen Bass, the current mayor of la. Roll it.
Karen Bass
It was one of the worst moments of my life to not be here when my city needed me and it didn't matter where I was or why I was away. To me it reminds me of like if you're away and a family member is in an accident.
Grant Stinchfield
Greg, she was asked about why wasn't she here for the fires back on January 7th. And I actually thought she started sweating here as well. But your thoughts on what her response.
Greg Hartley
So. So let's talk about fight or flight. What fight or flight is there to do is. It's the back of your. In the back of your head there and on the sides there's two little pieces called the amygdala that frighten you, make you remove, and they're print primarily there to keep you alive and moving. So she's had a threat response is what she's doing. Watch her. We always talk about congruency and body language. She touches her chest. That's not confession of how I feel, it's just her saying I. She's all about herself. Then look at her hand. What is she talking about? Because it's not batoning at the beat of where she's at. So her brain is on fire, it's squirreling around. She's trying to get out of the way and she chooses to avoid the conflict by softening the language. It doesn't matter why we all suffered. All that stuff is a way to avoid getting into an argument until she gets to that congruent messaging. About what? Where she's trying to get to some kind of connection. Her eyes narrow in pain. She makes hard eye contact. Her illustrator's voice, tone and pitch all hit. But look at that hand going around. She's her. Her limbic brain is in charge, not her other brain.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, she took a lot of heat for being in Africa when those fires unfolded. She had fair warning that it was going to be ripe for a fire to break out. I asked you about sweating, Greg. Is that an indication of anything when you're talking to someone and they start sweating? I mean, typically you would think it would be, but I'm curious to your thoughts on it.
Greg Hartley
Well, what happens when we get fight or flight is our respiration increases and all that, all that byproduct of waste has to go somewhere. So of course you're. Your respiration is going to increase, your pulse rate is going to increase. Your. Everything in your body, all your metabolism is Increasing. So you're going to lose some heat under your arms, across your brow. So, yeah, it's pretty normal to be part of stress.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, she continues here about being away. Let's roll the next clip.
Karen Bass
But I think that I deserve a second term and I'm going to fight for that because we have made significant progress in a variety of areas. For example, homelessness was going up year after year. And under my watch, it is the first time we've had a decrease in street homelessness. While it went up in the country, 18%, it came down in Los Angeles, 17 and a half percent.
Greg Hartley
Greg, hear the difference? You hear the difference? She's been allowed to redirect and now she starts to become congruent. She starts to speak. What you do look in your life, people are going to do the same thing. They're going to avoid the topic, smooth it over, blame Cher and make you part of the problem. All you have to do is look at her and go back and say, but where were you on this date? Or listen to her words and say, so what you're telling me is even the homeless are leaving la. There's all kinds of things you could do to put her on notice. But what she's doing here, she shifted gears and now everything's congruent because she's delivering the message she came to deliver.
Grant Stinchfield
Interesting. All right, before we get to the governor's debate, my friend Sarah Gonzalez, she does a great show over at the Blaze. I'm often a guest there with her. She interviewed this organizer of the Muslim only water park event at a city taxpayer funded water park in Grand Prairie, Texas, where literally this woman runs a daycare center, a learning center. She spelled it Greg. Learning center, just like they did in Minnesota. Well, Sarah Gonzalez confronted her on that.
Mood.com Advertiser
I also want to know how the daycare is operational. If your right to transact business was involuntarily ended in Texas, What I mean, this is. According to the state website, your registration is inactive.
Grant Stinchfield
No. Nothing to say.
Dr. Kelly Victory
I guess I have to figure that out
Grant Stinchfield
no more.
Greg Hartley
Greg, here's another strategy. We talk about fight or flight. We say fight, flight, freeze or fawn. And freeze quite simply means a puppy is panicked and it doesn't move. She freezes and she waits. This is a learned conflict strategy and might be what she only does with people who have some kind of authority. There's no shock. Her face doesn't look shocked when she's called on having no license. She's barriering and protecting her throat when she says what her brows go to sorrow, and that's about it. If there's any simulated confusion at all, even in this with her brow, it moves too quickly. Emotions move slowly across your face. They don't pop up and go away. And her bloody grain increases indicate some stress, and then she just shrugs it off. This is avoidance.
Grant Stinchfield
If I was a media trainer here, I would tell her, one, you're not the one going on because you're not ready for this. Two, you can have somebody else do it, but sit up straight and act like you're interested in the conversation. This is a horrible interview. And know your audience. You're going on the blade, for crying out loud. This is a bad move all the way around for her, I think.
Greg Hartley
Well, Grant, you know, some people will do anything to get on TV and not ever look at who their target audience is when they go on the show. That's part of the problem.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, it sure is. All right, let's go to the governor's debate. Boy, this was good for Republicans. Specifically, my buddy, Steve Hilton.
Don Brown
He.
Grant Stinchfield
He killed it. Governor. This is the governor's debate. Katie Porter. I call her Mrs. Doubtfire. She is running for governor, former congresswoman, roll cut for 30 minutes of interrupting and bickering and name calling and shouting and disrespect for everyone up here who's
Karen Bass
stepping into public service that anyone wants to talk about my temperament.
Barry Roth
You were actually interrupting them, too.
Grant Stinchfield
I don't know why you want to act like you weren't. Oh, Cowboy Greg.
Greg Hartley
So this one is. I could spend forever on this one because there's so much of what she's doing. I call this riding her high horse. She comes in, she's going to read you the riot act for behaving a certain way. Her whole body is illustrating, her head is moving like Desantis on point. She's got a voice, tone, pitch, and cadence that all support what she's saying. She slowed down for a fact. She's got her brow up. I mean, there's a ton of stuff here. Look how wide open her eyes are. You can see the sclera, the white part above and below her. Her irises. This is stress. Her little limbic system is on fire. It's trying to get her to do things. And then she lashes out at him with that cowboy up thing. She's got an arrow in her mouth and some person. She's angry. This is about her, not about that.
Grant Stinchfield
I want to remind everyone she talks about her temperament. She threw mashed potatoes at her ex husband. Hot mashed Potatoes. And she was the one yelling, get out of my shot. And she walked out of an interview with another reporter in L. A. She does have temperament problems. All right, last one. We'll do it quick because I want to get my buddy Steve Hilton some airtime. Roll cut six. This is when him calling out Javier, as Joe Biden likes to call him, Bacaria, the former Health and Human Service secretary.
Barry Roth
So what did they do?
Grant Stinchfield
They took money from Javier's campaign account
Barry Roth
to top up his salary by funneling it to Dana Williamson, Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, so that it was paid to this guy's wife.
Grant Stinchfield
All of that is illegal.
Barry Roth
It is against state law. It's against federal law,
Grant Stinchfield
Greg.
Greg Hartley
Well, there you go. This is not allowing him to fight back on the conflict. And watch his pulse rate.
Jonathan Gilliam
What?
Greg Hartley
You can watch his respiration increase. You can watch his blink rate increase. You can see him compressing his lips, licking his lips. That's all stress, wanting to respond. You see him dancing around. He wants to respond to the situation and can't. So this is when he does have to respond, he's probably going to be on his back foot.
Grant Stinchfield
And Steve here, totally congruent with his points to steal.
Greg Hartley
Everything is on boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Yep, exactly.
Grant Stinchfield
That's what happens when you're a trained TV professional and Steve A. Is your long time at Fox News. Greg Hartley, it's always great having you on the program. I appreciate you.
Greg Hartley
Thank you. Have a great.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, remember, go to Greg's website, readbody language.com. that's readbodylanguage.com and his YouTube show, the Behavior Panel. All right, an assault is caught on camera in Seattle. And now the leftist mayor there has nothing to say about it, but she was trying to take down the cameras. Remember this? Welcome back, everyone. This video is awful. This is video from a surveillance camera on the streets of Seattle. A camera that they were trying to do away with. If you watch closely here, there is a man who gets beat up by two absolute thugs. He's an elderly man. I think he broke his kneecap in this vicious attack. They steal stuff from him. Those cameras in that city led to the arrest of those two bruisers. Now the mayor of Seattle wants to do away with these cameras. She says it isn't fair to minorities. It isn't fair because maybe, just maybe, Department of Homeland Security may be tracking illegal aliens. Well, what if we were? But it's not like Mark Wayne Mullen is going to be following and looking at the CC T cameras. So this is a reporter asking the Seattle mayor, Katie Wilson, about the cameras. And look at her response. But does that change your perspective at all on the issue of surveillance cameras
Greg Hartley
based on what you went through on Tuesday?
Dr. Kelly Victory
So we. Yeah, yeah.
Greg Hartley
Well.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, it goes on. They cut it off right there. They. They cut off the interview. They don't want her to answer the question. It's outrageous. So this is her back in time talking about the CCTV cameras.
Dr. Kelly Victory
This technology and technology similar to it, has recently been in the news for its failure to be meaningfully and consistently secured, leading to breaches that could result in sensitive data being shared by ICE and putting our immigrant and refugee communities at risk.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, to be clear here to explain it, that's a social media video. They pasted the people being beat up behind her. That wasn't her doing that. But you could see the hypocrisy in all of this and why these CCTV cameras actually work to keep citizens safe. But all these Democrats are wacky, to say the least. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, I believe she's acting in treasonous ways, working to get Cuba help to get oil when President Trump has sanctions and a blockade on Cuba not to allow oil in. Listen to this.
Dr. Kelly Victory
I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places, and I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to get oil there.
Grant Stinchfield
The policy of the United States is no oil to Cuba so the people can be free and strangle the regime. She's working with Mexico and other nations to get Cuba oil when President Trump has oiled no oil to Cuba, that is treason. It's aiding and abetting the enemy. Real quick, Claudia Tenney. Congresswoman. She's a bright lady. I mean, she's violating US law, 60 year embargo. And it looks like treasonous behavior, to be perfectly honest. I mean, to work against the United States to protect Cuba. I mean, outrageous. She is outrageous. Outrageous. Thank you. But this is what you get from the squad, which Jay Powell is a part of. And I'm telling you, they root for our enemy over the United States of America, and they're elected members of Congress. Something needs to change. All right, President Trump is working hard to make the nation's capital beautiful again. And we'll watch him lay into a reporter for asking about him. Welcome back, everyone. I love it when President Trump unloads on the media.
Mood.com Advertiser
Why focus on all these projects right now?
Grant Stinchfield
You know why? Because I want to keep our country beautiful and safe. And that's not what our country is about. Our country is about beauty, clothes, cleanliness, safety, great people. Not a filthy capital. That's such a stupid question you ask. I love when he says that. Such a stupid question. How could you ask such a dumb question, you lousy mope? I mean, this apparently went on for about a minute. If I had more time, I'd play it for you. But I don't because I hope you are. I am ready for the weekend that's going to do it for us today. I'm Grant Stitchfield. Thanks so much for watching. Don't forget to check out my website, Grantstinchfield.com and my podcast on Rumble. Every day at noon Eastern. Just type my name into Rumble and YouTube too. But Rumble is the best place to find me. Noon Eastern. That's gonna do it for us. Have a great weekend. Stitchfield's army rolls. We'll see you Monday.
