Overview

This episode of the "Grant Stinchfield Tonight Show" delivers a rapid-fire rundown of current political topics from a staunchly conservative perspective. The discussion focuses on President Trump’s restoration of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award as a symbol of a return to American competitiveness and values, the strategic and economic implications of U.S. operations in the Strait of Hormuz, the anticipated impact of Republican-driven redistricting following a Supreme Court decision, skepticism about progressive climate change policies (with a pivot to the failures of green energy investments), and claims surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine and medical establishment censorship. The episode also features several notable guests, including military and policy experts, legal analysts, and medical professionals.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Restoring American Competitiveness: The Presidential Physical Fitness Award

• Grant opens by celebrating President Trump’s reinstatement of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award, framing it as a return to American values of competition and hard work, contrasted against the Obama administration's move away from competitive standards.
• Notable comments:
  • “It is about instilling that work ethic to win. Who scuttled this program? Barack Obama did. Under the leadership of Michelle Obama. She's the one that told him to do it. No competition.” (A, 00:44)
  • “The idea that competition is bad is the beginning of decline of a nation.” – Pete Hegseth (B, 02:56)
• Expert opinions from former athletes and officials (Scott Turner, Bryson DeChambeau) reinforce the significance of competition in building resilience and excellence, drawing analogies to America's global standing and workforce.
• Democrats are accused of “coddling kids” and undermining real-world preparation by promoting “safe spaces” and taxing positive activities, e.g., gym memberships (referencing Abigail Spanberger, 06:27).

2. Strait of Hormuz & U.S. Strategy in Iran

• Shifting to global affairs, Grant mocks recent Iranian claims about “kamikaze dolphins” (07:00), then assesses the effectiveness of U.S. military operations and blockades intended to stifle Iranian aggression and economic activity.
• Interviews with military experts:
  • Commander Kirk Lippold (former USS Cole commander) explains the Navy’s strategy in securing shipping lanes, the operational reality of skirmishes post-ceasefire, and the effectiveness of Project Freedom in economic and military terms (10:56–16:53).
    • “When people step out of schools and they get into the real world and suddenly you’re faced with adversaries...it is a cutthroat business out there.” – Kirk Lippold (C, 11:08)
    • “Six boats get destroyed...we’re in fact developing a bigger and more robust target set.” – Kirk Lippold (C, 12:48)
    • “No quarter given. No quarter taken.” – Kirk Lippold (C, 14:28)
• Contrasts mainstream media narratives about crisis ("Let the psyop of negativity begin") with what the host sees as economic and military progress (17:04).

3. Economic Optimism & Media Narratives

• The mood turns to U.S. economic prospects, as Grant and guest Tim Dosher (Unleash Prosperity) push back against recession “doom and gloom” (18:21–22:18).
  • They argue the fundamentals — foreign investment, a “capex boom,” and AI-driven growth — are strong, crediting Trump’s policies.
  • Memorable quote: “I just don’t see how you can be down on this economy unless you are rooting for President Trump to fail and his policies to fail.” – Tim Dosher (D, 21:45)
• The "psyop of negativity" is framed as a product of media and rivals who want Trump to fail.

4. Republican Redistricting Frenzy Post-Supreme Court Decision

• Grant hails a recent Supreme Court decision as a game-changer, pointing to a “redistricting frenzy” in southern states that could yield a significant Republican advantage in Congress.
  • “By some accounts, we could pick up 19 to 23 seats. That would make it virtually impossible for the Democrats to catch us.” (A, 24:29)
• Discussion with Zach Smith (Heritage Foundation) clarifies the legal rationale and historical context for redistricting and gerrymandering.
  • “Nothing in the Constitution prohibits political gerrymandering...whether you like it or not, the Constitution doesn’t have anything to say about it.” – Zach Smith (E, 29:26)
• Points out perceived hypocrisy: Democrats gerrymander in blue states, but criticize Republicans for mirroring the tactic.
• The conversation concludes that “elections have consequences” and voters can “leave that state or try to change that state” if dissatisfied (A, 31:35).

5. Climate Policy Critique: Amsterdam, Green Energy, and Costs

• Amsterdam’s ban on advertisements for meat and fossil fuels is derided as an example of “climate change zealotry.”
  • “You can't have an ad for an airline flight or you can’t have an ad for meat...but hey, prostitution, sure.” – Mark Morano, Climate Depot (B, 36:01)
• Morano links European climate initiatives to the “Great Reset” and warns of government overreach (37:03–38:45).
• Discussion of the costly failure of the Ivanpah solar power plant and warning that green energy investments are “redistribution schemes.”
  • “Solar and wind combined still are less than 4% of our total energy production after all of this nonsense.” – Mark Morano (B, 39:17)

6. COVID Data Suppression & New Cancer Therapy Claims

• A segment on the “COVID cover-up” asserts that the FDA suppressed whistleblowers raising concerns about vaccine safety, citing Senator Ron Johnson (C, 41:42).
• Interview with Dr. James Thorpe of The Wellness Company highlights alternative therapies (ivermectin and mebendazole), with claims of dramatic success in self-reported cancer cases (44:41).
  • “About...200 patients, we found that there was a 33% in six months what appeared to be no evidence of tumor or cancer burden.” – Dr. James Thorpe (F, 44:41)
• The narrative focuses on censorship, regulatory capture, and the necessity for medical dissent.

Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. We're going to start out tonight with a story that I think is huge news. It is putting us on the track to making America great again. Now, most of the mainstream media will not cover the story that President Trump has restored the Presidential Physical Fitness Award. I remember this award as a kid. I worked so hard to get it. And in fact, many years in grade school, old Stitchfield here did win the Presidential Physical Fitness Award. Not everyone does. And this is the point. It is about competition. It is about instilling that work ethic to win. Who scuttled this program? Barack Obama did. Under the leadership of Michelle Obama. She's the one that told him to do it. No competition. They had this presidential youth program. No real metrics for winning or goal setting. None of it. In the end, what does that mean? No winners. President Trump's changing that. Then we had the Obama administration. Wonderful, wonderful person. Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? We had the Obama administration, which phased out this wonderful tradition of physical fitness. Thank you, Barack, very much. Great job. And we're bringing it back. We're bringing it back. My administration is working very hard to defend America's cherished athletic traditions and pass our values of excellence and competitiveness to the next generation. Listen to me, folks. This is bigger than just the award. It's bigger than just a fitness competition. This is about restoring the idea that our American kids can strive to be the best and not worry about hurting anyone's feelings in doing it. Here's Pete Hagseth, our Secretary of War. But I remember it because it was. It was something my country clearly elevated as important. We should be in shape. We should compete. And there's winners and there's losers that we need to infuse into our young people.

[B]

The idea that competition is bad is the beginning of decline of a nation.

[A]

Competition is critical to who we are,

[B]

ensuring America stays on top.

[A]

Think about it. The Barack Obama years started the real decline of America. President Trump is restoring that. But when you do away with measurable standards, when you do away with competition, when you all of a sudden have participation trophies, all you're doing is breeding mediocrity. And that's what the left wants to do. They want to bring everyone down. To the lowest level standard. So again, nobody's feelings are hurt in the process. That's not what creates winners. It's not what creates a winning nation. Which is why I say it's not just sports that teaches you about adversity, but something like this can as well. Working hard and if you don't make it, well, that's a lesson too. There's nothing wrong with that. Scott Turner, our HUD secretary, was in the NFL. He knows about adversity. Competition brings out the best in us, be it in sport, be it in business, be it in education. And you always want to be the best you can be, as Bryson said, every single day getting better. And I'm grateful that I had an opportunity to play in the National Football League. But it taught me how to be a good teammate. It taught me how to be humble in victory and to be steadfast, you know, in defeat. As all these great athletes know. And folks, that translates to the workplace as well. It translates when you go to college or start a new job or start a business, all of that. So what do Democrats want? Democrats want to coddle kids. They want to create safe spaces everywhere. That's not the real world. What Democrats create is, are losers. Because there is value in the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. He mentioned Bryson. This is Bryson DeChambeau, the great golfer who lives not far from here in Dallas. We want to make sure our kids have the best opportunity to succeed in life. And not only from their mind, but

[C]

their health and their well being.

[A]

Their physical fitness is a huge priority to helping them become better human beings in general for our nation. Again. The reason why I think this story is huge, because it is the best way to make America great again in a long lasting fashion. Because we'll inspire our kids again to go for this, this Presidential Fitness Award. And it's a big deal when you get it. I remember as a kid winning it and man, I thought I was on top of the world. And that's what started the drive. And it starts to drive in kids. It's important. But at the same time, Democrats, to give you an example of how opposite they think from all of us, Abigail Spanberger, you know her, this is this. She's turned out to be a radical governor in Virginia. She campaigned as being a moderate. She now is open to the idea of taxing gym memberships. You understand what Democrats do? They tax everything good. Okay? Earning income, that's good. They tax it. Owning property, that's good. They tax it. Going to the gym, that's good. They want to tax it. Here's Spanberger.

[D]

Specifically, a bill that would have created a new tax on streaming services, dry cleaning, and some other things. Just to be clear, if that bill does get to your desk in future years as governor, is that something you would veto or would you sign it into law?

[A]

I think that the every idea, as long as it's reasonable and makes some amount of sense, should. Should be entertained and should be discussed. And so as you mentioned, the one

[D]

on streaming services, you know, you used

[A]

to buy a dvd, there'd be a sales tax. Streaming is different. And so I recognize that there's value in having these kind. Oh, somebody shot a Rob, please. You know, tax streaming services. Tax a gym membership. They're going to tax. When you take your clothes to the dry cleaning. I think what they're actually doing are taxing people who have some extra cash to do some extra things that actually makes their life easier. Tax them. Now to the special operation in Iran, as I like to call it. The latest claim by Iran, we're told, is a total lie. They do not have kamikaze dolphins. Yes, kamikaze dolphins. Really? I don't like this idea at all. I love dolphins. This is Pete Hegseth responding to this idea of kamikaze dolphins by the Iranian Navy. And I can't confirm or deny whether we have kamikaze dolphins, but I can confirm they don't ultimately, kamikaze dolphins. Why am I more concerned with the dolphins than I am about our enemies? I don't care how you kill our enemies, but I don't want the dolphins getting killed. I don't like this idea at all. And apparently, thanks to our buddy Mike Benz, we did have this as a program. Maybe we still do. Here's Mike. This is a special CIA project that started in the 1960s called Project Oxygas, which was conceived for the purpose of utilizing bottlenose dolphins for underwater attacks against enemy shipping. Also included delivery of weapons packages by dolphin, attacks on a variety of ships by dolphin doing a harbor and coastal reconnaissance missions. I don't mind the reconnaissance missions. Put a camera on them. Do something about it. I don't want them blowing themselves up like kamikazes. So the big question now when it comes to Iran is when is this war going to be over? How about today? According to our Secretary of State, Operation Epic Fury is concluded. We achieved the objectives of that operation,

[B]

and so the result has been that the United States has to do something about the fact that we're the only nation on Earth that can do anything to open up a lane within the Straits of Hormuz to get product and to rescue these people that are trapped in there. And that's what we're undergoing now.

[A]

So somebody needs to tell Iran then, that the war is over because they continue to fire on anyone, anything, including the United States Navy. How this is not a violation of the ceasefire, I don't know. Here's Dan Kane, the general.

[C]

Since the ceasefire was announced, Iran has

[A]

fired at commercial vessels nine times and

[C]

seized two container ships.

[A]

And they've attacked U.S. forces more than 10 times, all below the threshold of

[C]

restarting major combat operations at this point.

[A]

Now, look, I know President Trump, he's got something up his sleeve here, because I think the threshold would be you fire one missile at the United States Navy, you would violate the cease fire. So something's going on with Trump. He did respond to that exact question. Do they need to do to violate the cease fire? Well, you'll find out, because I'll let you know. They know what to do and they know what to do. They know what not to do, more importantly, actually. And, you know, they fired him in little boats with peashooters. You know the peashooters. Little boat with a little. You know why? Because they don't have any boats anymore. So he's talking about little boats with pea shooters. I still wouldn't have any tolerance for firing at the United States Navy. But I think President Trump. In fact, I know President Trump knows exactly what he's doing here. And beyond that, the blockade is working, okay? We are stifling Iran, strangling them financially. They're not going to be able to last very long. I want to bring in now to discuss all of this. Former commander of the USS Cole, Kirk Lippold is back with us. Commander, great to have you back.

[C]

Great to be back on Grant.

[A]

All right, real quick, I bet you remember the Presidential Physical Fitness Award. I bet you even were a recipient. Commander, am I right or wrong?

[C]

Well, the one thing about that award is it develops competition. And when people step out of schools and they get into the real world and suddenly you're faced with adversaries and enemies like China and Iran who mean to do us harm. And that includes Russia. Guess what? It is a cutthroat business out there. And that in the case of Iran, they've been killing Americans for 47 years. And the problem is, we finally got a president with the ethical clarity and the moral courage to act when every one of them failed. This can't be like President Obama with The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, where we all get along and we agree not to inspect places like military bases where every nuclear program started for every nation that possesses them today. It's that kind of foolishness that we can't do it. And eliminating competition is not how the real world works. We're going to lean forward. And I think you're exactly right. President Trump has a set of strategic objectives and we are going to achieve them.

[A]

All right? Part of that is this blockade. We've turned away 44 commercial ships now already coming out of Iranian ports, strangling them. This question of the Straits of Hormuz, you and I have talked about this a lot. I know the shipping giant, the Maersk had a ship moved through the straits under US Navy riding alongside them and guiding them through the straits. Your thoughts? Commander ON Is it open? Is it closed, Is it safe? Is it not? Where does the Straits of Hormuz stand today?

[C]

Well, right now, Grant, with Project Freedom, what we are, what the United States Navy is doing is creating a lane of traffic close to Oman where there is a bubble. We're not going to escort the ships out, but what we want to do is create a protected bubble where we can ensure these ships can start exiting the Gulf, transit out through that, through that lane that we have created that's been cleared of mines. And yes, the Iranians may choose to start trying to shoot an attack. They clearly did that with USS Truxton and USS Mason yesterday, where they were under sustained fire. But that in some ways serves as our advantage because what ends up happening, six boats get destroyed. Not only that, from the firing they did. We know where they shot from, what they launched and where they launched from it, how the command and control worked. We're in fact developing a bigger and more robust target set that is going to allow us should kinetic operations really kick off in toto, which the chairman intimated could happen. Guess what? We're going to hammer Iran and we're still going to hold them host and not hostage. We're going to hold them by the economic throat to ensure nothing gets in and out where the rest of the world is going to start. See, all these vessels started coming out where the products and the economy of the world is going to have freedom of navigation through an international strait, and Iran is going to become irrelevant as we crush their economy.

[A]

All right, it sounds like you're looking at this from a perspective that you're happy with the way things are going. I know both you and I criticized early on the Navy's Inability to be in the Straits. It's themselves. Are they doing a better job now? It sure seems like they are, Commander.

[C]

Well, I think we've done a much better job. I think we could have gone in. But, you know, it's one of those, I think, Brandt, where why subject yourself to more risk until you've eliminated more of the threats from onshore. The cruise missiles, the boats, the drones, make sure the Navy's at the bottom of the harbor where it belongs. Those types of things have clearly been executed. And now we're dealing with what they call that Mosquito Navy, with those small boats that, trust me, USS Cole was a recipient of a small boat. They can be incredibly dangerous. They could be packed with IEDs, but nonetheless, if anything comes offshore with our surveillance, we should monitor it, declare it hostile and take it out. No quarter given. No quarter taken. I don't care if it is a fishing boat, a dhow, or in fact some type of vessel that is launched by the irgc. Navy comes offshore, destroy it.

[A]

All right, Besides that advice, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you as my last question because honestly, after you had put your advice out on how to handle the the Straits, the Navy almost followed it to a T. Commander. And I'm not taking credit here on this program, but. But I think somebody's watching. So before I let you go, your advice now to. To the Navy fleet that is there, the commander in charge of what's going on there. Anything else besides what you just said that you would like to see them doing to help us put us in a good spot?

[C]

Well, right now, Admiral Cooper, a central command commander, briefed the President on the number of military options that are available. Just as a small aside, the Fifth Fleet Commander, Vice Admiral Kurt Renshaw, used to be a junior officer of mine when I was executive officer on a cruiser. They have the packages and plans in place to begin to expand the naval presence throughout the Strait of Hormuz to create that protect Project Freedom. That is going to allow these vessels vessels to find do it. We need to make sure that the insurance companies and the ship owners are comfortable that we can protect them. Once we demonstrated that as more ships begin to transit, we're going to see more and more traffic begin to flow. And as I mentioned, anything Iran tries to shoot becomes a target. That target gets eliminated. It may not go to full kinetic operations, but I think that Project Freedom, once put in place and really starts operating, the world is going to be comfortable. The oil begins to flow, the gas prices come down and the Republicans look better in the midterms.

[A]

Former USS Cole commander Kirk Lippold. Always great to talk to you, my friend. Thank you. And look, the military is well served by your advice. I appreciate you, sir, as always.

[C]

Thank you, Grant. Pleasure to be on.

[A]

Absolutely, my pleasure. All right, folks, so we've got what I believe now is happening where we're headed in the right direction. Everything looks good. The stock market's going crazy today, I think because of this idea that the war is over. Over. And now it's Operation Freedom. But let the psyop of negativity begin. The mainstream media. This is a reporter from Politico on with Morning Joe. They've got to be negative, as the old saying goes. You know, when your neighbors out of a job, it's a recession. When you're out of a job, it's a depression. When you start seeing fives up there, $5 a gallon gas, you're hitting crisis mode. And I think that's kind of the trigger point that we're going to see this summer. Here's what I understand. We had $5 gas under Joe Biden and nobody was talking about a recession then. So why all of a sudden now? Because right now the fundamentals to have this economy take off like a rocket ship are in place. Make no doubt about that. The Trump economic miracle is set to become a reality. It's already on its way. I want to bring in to discuss this now executive director of Unleash Prosperity. Our buddy Tim Dosher is back. Tim, great to have you on.

[D]

That's great to be on. Grant, that was an amazing clip you just played. Unbelievable, isn't it?

[A]

Here, I'll do one better for you. This is Ken Griffin. He claims to be a Republican. He doesn't really like Trump, though. This is the CEO of Citadel. Listen to him. Unfortunately, we have yet to reopen the straits and that's going to take a period of time that's just very hard to estimate or to determine. The upshot, if the straits remain closed for another 6, 912 months, energy prices around the world will go materially higher. It will push the world into a global recession. Tim, that's today. You heard former commander of the USS Cole, you heard Marco Rubio. You heard the straits are virtually open. Is it perfect? No, but they are not closed as he's declaring. I'll let you respond all this.

[D]

Well, look, I do think that the strait is a problem. I just want to say I do think the strait is a problem, Grant. And I think we need to reopen it as soon as possible. There's no question about. Because if you do have a long term stop there. Look, remember, oil is a global commodity and so that price will remain high if the strait continues to. If ships are continuously scared to move through, which is what it is, Grant, is the ships are scared to move through the strait and therefore they're not going to risk it. And so I think that the US blockade is great. Go ahead.

[A]

It's not a per. I just want to say it's not a perfect situation. It's not like it's free flowing, but it's not absolutely closed either. And so that's the only thing. But I'm with you. We need to get back to reality. Keep going. I'm sorry, Tim, but.

[D]

No, no, it's fine. It's a good distinction to make. I just want to make sure that we understand that this is not this, that this is going to be helped by the US bringing like, like we said the last guess that, bringing it closer to Oman, developing a lane where you can demonstrate that it is safe to go through and then you can start to move all those ships out. Look, I do the Hormuz tracker every single day. There's more ships in there than there have been since the, since the bombs started falling. That's a good sign. And I think that it will increase when we show that this works. But I do think that a lot of the naysayers about the economy are relying a little bit too much on this gas price temporary setback to start projecting long term chaos and destruction in the US economy. It's insane.

[A]

When you look at the fundamentals from all of the foreign investment that Trump has recruited to come in here. We've got manufacturing coming back roaring back in America. What does that tell you for our future? At least in the next three to five years?

[D]

I think that the one big beautiful bill is going to be the end of that story. And you can mark my words on it because we know what happens when you unleash the ability for capital expenditure. And look, there's been a lot of people talking about how capital expenditure is down. That's not true at all, Grant. I mean this is actually a massive capex boom. In fact, bank of America put out a study. They're expecting anywhere from 18 to 30% increase in capital expenditure. That is a massive thing. And that's because companies can accept, dispense it immediately thanks to the Trump. One big beautiful bill. That is a boom. You've got AI which is driving Trillions of dollars in valuation, five, six hundred billion dollars of investment last year alone in developing and leading the AI boom throughout the world. I just don't see how you can be down on this economy unless you are rooting for President Trump to fail and his policies to fail.

[A]

Tim, that's the bingo. I call it a psyop of negativity. It's because they hate Trump. They want to push this negativity onto the public to think that will reverberate back into the markets. Sometimes it does, but it doesn't last very long. That negativity will have an effect for a day, but it doesn't last him.

[D]

Great. It's amazing that you mentioned that. You know, we had $5 gas under Biden, which is true. We also had even higher gas under Obama if you adjust for inflation. And yeah, where was Jonathan Martin back then? He was being a, you know, carrying the water for whatever liberal socialist person was occupying the Oval Office at the time. And it is such a. It's just a great reminder, Grant, that you're on the air. Real America's Voice is on the air because we got to push back against this garbage.

[A]

Well, that's why we partner up with people like you and unleash prosperity. And you know what? We'll carry the water, right? You, me, our groups and, and, and bring this country back under President Trump's leadership. Tim Dosher, it's great having you on. Thank you, my friend.

[D]

See you, Grant. Thanks.

[A]

Yep, you got it. And folks, listen, calm down about the gas prices. And I know that it hurts a little bit right now. It's going to be okay, though. We will get through this and you will see. We are going to rock and roll. When it comes to the economy in this country, I have never believed it more than I ever have right now. Here's something I, I also believe in. I believe in Lost Soldier Oil and gas. This project, 40,000 acres out in Wyoming. I am now taking a direct role with Lost Soldier Oil and Gas, helping them out in this project because I believe so much in it. They have already hit stacked formations of high pressure gas. This is a great opportunity if you're accredited investor to get involved in the oil and gas industry. That typically was only available to family offices or hedge funds.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Red states are in a redistricting frenzy amid the Supreme Court's recent ruling on voting rights. I, all of a sudden, I'm feeling very good about the midterms. That's. I'll tell you what, folks, I'm feeling better and better about the midterms. You know, we had this Supreme Court decision in Louisiana that really opened the door for red states to redistrict their congressional seats. You want to call it gerrymander. I guess if you're a Democrat, you call it gerrymandering. And if you're, you know, when Republicans do it. But when, when Democrats do it, you know, it's all fine and dandy, but we're about to take a commanding lead. Listen to this. Alabama, 7 to 0, Republican to Democrat seats. Tennessee, 9 to 0, Republican to Democrat seats. Louisiana is moving on redistricting. South Carolina is moving on redistricting as well. By some accounts, we could pick up 19 to 23 seats. That would make it virtually impossible for the Democrats to catch us. Here's our RNC chair. What's happening now is the scales are starting to be evened up and it's not going to stop with Louisiana. With this court case, I think you're likely to see Mississippi, I think at the governor of Alabama just came out. And you'll see other states fold as well. But Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, all will benefit as a result of the VRA and expect a lot of new seats down South. Yes, Florida already picks up seats. Governor Ron DeSantis, I believe, signed that policy into play. Already. There you see the Florida maps picking up seats. So this is huge. Now, what I tried to tell you is exactly what Congressman from Florida Greg Stubby is saying, only he does it much more eloquently than me. So if other states are be able to pick this up, you see Democrats do this all across the country, and they've done this for decades. They've done it in California, they do it in New York, they do it in Illinois. They do it where they have the power to do it. And then when they do it, it's called democracy. But when we do it, it's illegal. So the hypocrisy is pretty thick up in Washington. Here's the problem for Democrats. They've already done it. As Congressman Stubby pointed out, you go to the Northeast, there's no Republican members of Congress, none. You can't tell me that they don't have some Republicans up there that should have representation. So where are they going to get more seats from? They've already done this. Well, I want to bring in to discuss all of this senior legal fellow and manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program at the Heritage Foundation. Zach Smith is back with us. Zach, great to have you on the program.

[E]

Well, thanks so much for having me on the show again.

[A]

All right, Zach, as much as I love seeing this, Alabama 7 0, Tennessee 90 part of me does say, like, were we really set up to be doing this? I mean, I know the Democrats started it and, and they've been doing this for years. Is this really where we want to be to have this battle? And if we're in the battle, let me get it straight, though. I want to win it, but I still look at it and be like,

[E]

wow, well, look, I think we have to step back and understand exactly what the court said in his Louisiana vs. Kelly decision last week. Despite all the doom and gloom we've heard from so many on the left, what the court actually said is a fairly common sense and what should be uncontroversial proposition that states should not draw congressional or legislative districts that based on the race of the individuals who live within those districts. Unfortunately, some lower federal courts had misinterpreted Section 2 of the Voting Rights act to purport to require states to do just that. The Supreme Court made clear that is not the case. And so at least in states like Louisiana and other states that do have majority minority districts, districts that were drawn explicitly based on the race of the individuals who live within those districts, those states are, are going to have to go back to the drawing board.

[A]

All right. By common sense meter, even though, you know, it flies in, in the face of what I want to be able to say. But if you have, if you have Massachusetts or Connecticut or Maine with zero Republican seats, that just doesn't sound right. So how am I supposed to say, well, Alabama and Tennessee, zero Democrat seats. There's gotta be some Democrats. Don't they deserve we, they, everybody some representation? Well, I think there are a few

[E]

points that are worth making here. One, nothing in the Constitution prohibits political gerrymandering, drawing district or congressional lines for partisan political advantage. That's where the term gerrymandering comes from it comes from Elbridge Gerry, one of the founding fathers who did that in Massachusetts at the early outset of our republic. So this is something that's been going on for many years. Whether you like it, you don't like it, the Constitution doesn't have anything to say about it. And look, one of the things the Supreme Court has made clear throughout its voting rights case law is that the ability of we the people to be represented is the ability to cast a vote for our preferred candidate. It doesn't mean that our preferred candidate is going to get elected, but we should have the ability nonetheless to cast that vote. The last point I'll make is, again, there seems to be a fair bit of hypocrisy here from those on the left. When you look at what has happened in states like Virginia, for instance, when you look at what has happened in states like California and compare that to what's happening now, I haven't heard a lot of those same doom and gloom predictions when Democratic states like Virginia and California undertook their very aggressive partisan gerrymandering.

[A]

We make an entire show on Democrat hypocrisy on this program. And I'll take the other side that I just laid out to you to side with this. And I believe, Zach, that elections have consequences. And those consequences could mean, just as you said, a state legislature or however you draw the lines. Drawing the lines where guess what, Democrats aren't getting representation in an overwhelmingly red state or Republicans aren't getting it in an overwhelmingly blue state. And because this is such a free country, you can do two things. One of two, you can leave that state and go to a state where you'll get more representation or you can try to change that state. But in the end, elections have consequences. And guess what? Put your big boy pants on. It's a big boy game. And instead the Democrats like to take the ball and go home.

[E]

Zach well, and look again, this should be uncontroversial. We can't treat citizens differently based on their race. And yet for too many years, that is exactly what lower federal courts have been requiring of states like Louisiana. So I actually say kudos to the Supreme Court for getting the constitutional law issued correct in the Louisiana vs Calais decision. Kudos to Louisiana officials for acting swiftly to try to correct their flawed congressional map. And hopefully they will complete their work swiftly so that Louisiana voters, all Louisiana voters, will be able to vote for their preferred representatives using a constitutionally permissible congressional map.

[A]

Zach Smith, great job laying this out for me. You made the case to me that's for sure. I appreciate the work you do over at the Heritage Foundation. Thank you.

[E]

Of course. Thanks for having me on the show.

[A]

Absolutely. All right, before we end this, here's the reality, and it's offensive because the left wants to think that if they redistrict off raise that somehow it's going to be all Democrats. This is the same thing in Mississippi, an overwhelmingly red state. All black folks in Mississippi are not Democrats. This is Representative Benny Thompson on CNN talking about Mississippi.

[C]

That means that black people should at least at a minimum have one representative. What you see is exactly what I've been talking about. Given an opportunity left to themselves without any guardrails, white Republican elected officials would wipe out every opportunity for black people to be elected.

[A]

What he's telling you there is that a white person can't represent a black person. And really under that philosophy that a black person can't represent a white person. I don't care if my congressman's black or white. I just want them to be on board with America first principles and making America great again. I could care less what color they are, but that's the Democrats for you. All right, up next, Amsterdam bans meat and fossil fuel advertisements to save the climate. It's next. Welcome back, everyone. The climate change zealots are totally out of control. All you have to do is go to Europe. You know, we have our own share of climate change zealots here in the United States that want to cause all kinds of problems for business and industry and farming. Well, what have I told you? They now want to cause problems for tourism. They want to literally ban ads for meat fossil fuels in a sweeping crackdown. No more ads for meat or fossil fuels. This is an Amsterdam city council member. Despite the climate crisis, we have to do everything we can and this is one major step to do so. And we hope that a lot of cities follow our examples. So do you know why I said tourism they're going after? First off, they're not leading by example. They're telling us what not to do by example. They believe that when you advertise summer that somehow you're creating people to travel and that's going to create them using fossil fuels. This is a gentleman who is the legal campaigner for fossil freed advertising, eu, whatever the hell hell that is. Roll it. It's actually right now everywhere in the country on the public transports, it's trying to sell summer to people and trying to lure them into buying and consuming fossil fuels. Finally, this outlaw summer. I don't know. I'm sure they try to do that too. I want to bring in now a Climate Depot publisher, Mark Morano to the program. Mark, welcome my friend.

[B]

Thank you. Thanks a lot, Grant. This is an absurd story.

[A]

Absolutely. So it. Does this go anywhere? I mean, I guess it's Amsterdam. It probably will,

[B]

yes. I mean, this is part of what the EU has been trying. This is part of the 15 minute cities. This is part of the Great Reset. You'll own nothing and be happy. This is part of their whole net zero agenda. This is frightening because they're modeling this like basically any aspect of life that involves fossil fuels, meat eating or any modern life as well, airline travel. They're going to probably ban car ads. We already have Ireland culling the sheep or proposed sheep. We've already had the Netherlands farmers fighting back against some of these policies. But ultimately this is the agenda of the Great Reset. In the words of Al Pacino, just when you think you're out, they try to pull you back in. The irony is Amsterdam was known as a city with legalized prostitution and the, and the, you know, the brothels of women in the windows and people would go shopping. That's okay. But hey, you can't have an ad for an airline flight or you can't have an ad for meat or you can't eat too much meat as they're trying to cut that way down or else that's bad for the Earth.

[A]

Yeah, this is the, you know, the diploma class. These professors and everybody, they're the ones usually behind most of this stuff. Here's a professor at Amsterdam University. The advertisements tell us that flying is

[D]

okay and that flying is maybe even

[A]

something that we should desire.

[D]

It tells us that, okay, we will have a happy life or a high status life.

[A]

It sets the non sustainable choice as the standard. You know, I'm gonna forget the fact that he doesn't like the idea of flying. I love flying. He says it's a non sustainable choice. That's an absolute flat out bogus lie, isn't it, Mark?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

They think any industrial activity the last 250 years on Earth should be wiped out because the Earth has been unsustainable since the Industrial Revolution. This is the same group of people who were the World Economic Forum, who were the United nations and they're resurrecting themselves after a couple years of low, recovering from the COVID overreach and the lockdowns and they're trying again. And you still have 15 minute cities. The idea is they charge you if you leave the city. Your car More than a couple times. And otherwise you got to stay within your little sector, very East German, East Germany style. And this is what, they don't want you flying, they don't want you eating meat, they don't want you driving a car, they don't want you going more than 15 minutes. They want to control you. They don't want you owning anything. So these impulses have been with us for thousands of years. Throughout history, the ruling class governing organizations have tried to find ways why the rest of us cannot be free. And now they're claiming it's because the Earth can't handle it.

[A]

Here's what I love, Mark Morano, what you do at Climate Depot. First you tell them it's not going to work, they do it anyway, and then you get to report on the failure after it doesn't actually work. And I'm talking about this giant solar power plant on the California Nevada border that I think it was $2.2 billion to build. There's a loan outstanding, a federal loan of $780 million. They want to shut it down. Tell me the situation with this, with this solar plant.

[B]

Yeah, this was a one of the Obama in solar pants polar panels literally pumped with billions of dollars in US Tax. They're finally now trying to get rid of these abominations. And by the way, President Trump's doing the same thing with the offshore wind, all of the solar, all of the Inflation Reduction act, they're going after it. And it's because even with trillions of dollars spent for these things like this solar plants, for the offshore wind. Solar and wind combined still are less than 4% of our total energy production after all of this nonsense. Going back to Obama's first green stimulus bill in 2009, you literally have 80% plus of our energy still coming from fossil fuels. It's been nothing but a redistribution scheme. The Democratic donors and other billionaires and associates with the green movement to cash in on their money. And that's exactly what this boondoggle, which leaves that 2.2 billion on the taxpayer, on the taxpayers are on the hook for it.

[A]

Well, that's what I was going to ask you. There's 780 million left on this loan, so taxpayers have to have to cover it if it goes out of business. Correct. Real quick for me, Mark, like 10, 15 seconds. Yes.

[B]

The Ivan Paul solar panel. Yes. The taxpayers will end up bailing it out, just like we're going to do about 40% of the inflation Reduction act that we legally couldn't claw the Money back. We're on the hook for it. Billions of dollars and half a billion plus probably in the end.

[A]

I'll tell you what a pro Mark Morano is. Even when you got some camera issues going on, you still kill it. You do? Always. For me. Thank you buddy. As always, I appreciate it.

[B]

No problem. Thank you, Grant. Appreciate it.

[A]

Absolutely. Check out his website, Climate Depot. I promise you you will not be disappointed. The Biden FDA did everything they could do to hide Covid data from the public. We've got the proof now. Foreign. Welcome back everyone. The COVID up continues to be exposed of just how bad this COVID vaccine actually was causing the death of children and others. And it appears that data was covered up and anybody that raised attention to it was being punished. Listen to Senator ron Johnson.

[C]

In September 2021, Dr. Marks informed Dr. Patricia Cavazzoni, the then director of CDER, that Dr. Scharzman, who was a CDER employee, quote, has been asked to cease and desist conducting her data analysis. Dr. Marks complained that Dr. Scharfsman work had become, quote, a major distraction. That her efforts could create erroneous conflicts that feed to anti vaccination rhetoric.

[A]

What the f? Seriously? You're going to punish that woman and tell her to shut up when she had information that could have saved lives? Well, I want to bring in now someone who had the same type of information and I believe did save lives. I'm talking about the chief of maternal and prenatal health at the wellness company. Dr. James Thorpe is with us. Dr. Thorpe, welcome to the program.

[F]

Thanks for having me back. Granted.

[A]

What do you make of that right there, Dr. Thorpe?

[F]

Well, it was stunning. Senator Ron Johnson has been a warrior for the truth. He's stood up for the vaccine, injured and for truth. And this Dr. Anna Zarfman, who's heard of her, I followed this movement very carefully, as have my other colleagues. And she was completely censored. She was like a Dr. McCullough or a Dr. Gorey or myself inside the FDA blowing the whistle. And she was suppressed and censored and many children were killed by the vaccine, not only in the United States of America, but also in Europe. The EMA European Medical association has announced that. So listen, I was up against the exact same thing in 2021, just eight months into the COVID 19 vaccine, I issued and publicly I published the literature, the bad outcomes on pregnancy from the vaccine from the VAERS database. And I was threatened with my medical license and also with my board certifications from the three governing bodies that legislate over OB GYN physicians.

[A]

All right, Dr. Thorpe, this is important because we talk about censorship. The wellness company has this study out. We've talked about it a lot on this program, but I talk about it because it is so groundbreaking about ivermectin and membendazole, a combination, a formulation that you can get from the wellness company that is showing real signs of treating cancer, maybe even curing cancer. Journals don't want to cover it. The pharmaceutical companies don't want to study this. Only the wellness company is on the front lines. Can you tell me what this study means for people with cancer out there?

[F]

This is a incredibly important study, the first of its kind in the world. This is a study, a prospective observational study which used patient self reporting that used our product at the wellness company. We can't market it for cancer. We are allowed to market it for parasitic cleanse. There's a very close association, as you well know, between cancer cells and parasitic cells. So what in essence, we found almost 200 patients. And Grant, the results were stunning. About in total of follow up almost 200 patients, we found that there was a 33% in six months what appeared to be no evidence of tumor or cancer burden. Some might interpret that as a cure. Another 16% substantial regression of the tumor burden. Then another 36% remained stable. And it was only a small 16% of the patients that progressed. So this is a clinical benefit ratio of 84%, which is very high. Most cancers would have in the range of, let's say 50%.

[A]

Here's what I love. You can get this formula formulation right now from the wellness company. I'm going to tell people exactly how to find it. As always, it's such a great pleasure to talk to you and thank you for sharing your boldness out there and truth telling. Dr. Thorpe, here's what I want everyone to do. Check out TWC Health Voice where you can find their full line of products, including prescription medical kits, Ivermectin and memedazole and much more. Okay, TWC Health Voice. Use that promo code voice to save 10%. All right, we've got a new member of Stitchfield's army and he went above board to ask for membership, but you know what? I think he already was a member. We're gonna promote this young man. We'll show you why next. Welcome back, everyone. You know, apparently Stitchfield's army, we have members of all ages. We're very popular with the kids too. I just got a text from a friend of mine, little Catherine is with her parents watching. Hi out there. To little Catherine. And then I get this sent to me. Little Bodie watching us at the rodeo.

[B]

So, Bodie, who are you watching?

[A]

I watch Field. I mean, what an exciting show for. I think he's three years old, little Bodie. Now, I've never met him. I don't know the family, but I'm grateful to them for sending that video here. And, Bodie, you are now, let's say, sergeant in Stitchfield's Army. Sergeant Bod to all of you out there, thank you for watching. We will see you back here tomorrow. Stitchfield's army rolls. We'll see you then, folks.
