Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. Merry Christmas to you all on this very special evening. So I want to tell you, the Democrats, what do you think they do as we head into Christmas? They play the role of the Grinch. Why do they want to ruin everything about America, especially at a time like this when we are about to take off like a rocket ship? You know, there's one big, beautiful bill, many of the provisions are set to go into effect come the beginning of the year that's going to send this economy taking off. But what do you think Democrats are doing right now? They're trying to find everything and every way they can to sink the president. Trump's not just the one big, beautiful bill and its policies that will be enacted January 1st, they're trying to sink everything about him. Listen to this. Democrat governors around the country who are right now writing tax rules in a number of Democrat states to prevent the tax cuts that President Trump and the Republicans put in put in place over this summer. No tax on tips. No tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime pay. Like I mentioned, there's a number of Democrat states right now. You can read it in USA Today. They ran a piece last week on it, are writing tax rules to capture all of those tax cuts and take them into the state's coffers. They're actually blocking the working class tax cuts. Can you imagine? You live in a blue state. You're a hairdresser, you're a waiter or a waitress, and you get relief from President Trump and the Republicans saying, hey, no tax on tips. And by the way, you make most of your living off of tips. And then these blue states are going to say, we're going to find a way to snatch away all of your tips. When I tell you it's the Grinch, I don't know how else to explain it cutting taxes is the number one way to spur an economy because it puts more money in not just workers pockets, but it puts more money in job creators pockets as well. So they can expand. Everything explodes with this. Democrats don't get it because they're grumpy. Okay, so what else works? Cutting back on immigration and specifically illegal immigration and the quest to deport illegals. Well, President Trump's top deputy on that, Stephen Miller, who's been just absolutely fabulous in this administration, he spelled something out that will send the left into the stratosphere. They'll be triggered by this. But what he says is absolute truth. Well, if you subtract immigration out of test scores, all of a sudden our test scores skyrocket.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
If you subtract immigration out of health.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Care, all of a sudden we don't have nearly the size of the health.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
Care challenges our country faces.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
If you subtract immigration out of public safety, all of a sudden we don't have violent crime in so many of our cities.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
Issue after issue, we talk about these things. They just happen to us. The schools just suddenly fail.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Violent crime just suddenly explodes. The deficit just suddenly skyrockets.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
These are a result of social policy.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Choices that we made through immigration. And folks, who do you think it hurts the most? It hurts inner city kids the most, inner city families the most. Because when you have illegal immigration, they're overloading schools. It's not the fancy pantsy suburb, the lily white suburb north of the city. It's inner city schools that are being overrun with illegal alien children. And I get that they need an education, but when they don't know how to read or write, they bring the entire system down. Health care the same way our county hospitals and big cities are overrun with illegal aliens. And of course, we know what the criminal justice system is experiencing with illegal alien crime. So, yes, you start deporting people, you shut the border down, you get a big benefit. Now, I talked about the one big beautiful bill. And it is very important to remember that come the first of the year, all these provisions will be put through. There's a term the administration is using now as we come up to 20, 26, and that is the golden age. Here's Secretary Brooke Rollins.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
The relief is coming, the structure is there, the one big beautiful bill.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Tax cuts go into effect, costs are coming down.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
It really is a golden age just.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Right around the corner.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
And I am so excited and so grateful as the President now moves out across the country next year to talk about it as we continue the work here in Washington. To make sure it happens.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
All right? And we have to. And we got to keep our eye on all of this. Now, we mentioned tax on tips. It's such an important provision. I would imagine anybody out there that makes their living off of tips is eager for January 1st to get here when this gets instituted. This is Kevin Hassett. He's big, plays a big in President Trump's economic agenda. Listen to him. President Trump's economic policies were profoundly popular.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
Just before COVID in his first term.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Because he had $6,500 of income growth after the big tax cuts. And so right now we're going into.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
Next year where the typical person who's.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Got no tax on tips, no tax.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
On overtime, is probably going to see an extra 1600-2000 dollars.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
A lot of that will come as tax refunds in the beginning of the year.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
That kind of stuff is going to make it so that people are going to look at their wallets and say, oh, boy, this guy's really making me better off.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
And what do you think happens? Our economy takes off. That is a very, very good thing. So this one big beautiful bill, this is the key now as so many of these provisions get set to take effect. I want to bring in now real America's voice, D.C. congressional correspondent Benny Ray Harmony is back with us. Benny, it's great to have you back on the program. And Merry Christmas to you.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
Merry Christmas, Grant, thanks for having me on.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Absolutely. Thank you for spending a very special night with us tonight. Benny, how important is this, do you think, for our country's future come January 1st, when many of these provisions take.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
Take place Now, Grant, it's huge. And one of the biggest things we hear here on the Hill is that this bill is the billionaires tax cut. And it is very clear by everything you have just said as we were coming into this segment. And if you read the bill, this is a bill for the hardworking American people. Everything, I mean, the no tax on tips in the overtime. This was a big thing that President Trump campaigned on. And I hear a lot being at the White House and on Capitol Hill every day. My gosh, President Trump is lying. None of this stuff that he's saying is ever going to happen. Hey, news flash, people. It happens in the new year. It happens in 2026. And so as we look forward within these next two to three months, once we reach 2026, we do expect lots of enormous economic policies to finally be put in place. I mean, and we've talked a lot about the overtime and no tax on tips. But another thing is the seniors and the tax deductions that seniors are going to get. Now they've already worked their whole life to make the money that they have, their pensions and all those things. Well, now they're even going to get to keep more of that money and not have to pay, pay back the debt of the government by paying their taxes to them. So it's going to be monumental. And I think that Democrats are really going to be scratching their heads when the new year comes and they realize, oh wow, President Trump was right.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Yeah, Benny, we heard them talk about James Blair, one of the President Trump's chief deputies there in the White House, talk about how Democrats are trying to derail a lot of this. What is the talk on the Hill from Democrats as this is about to go in? And of course we have another year basically with this Congress where we control it all. Their thoughts going into the New York New Year from a Democrat perspective?
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
Well, Grant, from a Democrat perspective, I think they're actually a little worried about the 2026 midterms because they can lie all they want and they can use their talking points. They can have the governors of states try to put things in place to make sure people don't get tax cuts. First of all, why would you want to harm your citizens in your state? That's my first question to them. But I think there is a little worry to them because deep down these are individuals, they made it to Congress somehow. They're not stupid or at least I'd like to hope that they're not stupid. They have a feeling that economy is really going to go into this golden age like you were saying, and they're a little scared. Grant. And I want to actually talk to a few of these Democrats, more sit down conversations because I'm actually curious their mindset going into this and how they're going to combat this amazing economic, economic policies that we're about to see. But, but as always, they're going to try to stop it, but they won't.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
You know, as you know, even if you were to sit down, they're not going to tell you the truth. They're not going to tell you that they're nervous about the midterms. And I agree with you. I actually think there's a lot of talk even from Republicans very concerned about the midterms. Now am I concerned? Of course they put up a fight. They got lots of money and everything is tight in this country. We're basically a 50, 50 country. But I feel better than most Republicans are talking like you about the midterms. But with that said, God forbid we lose. We have a year left of Republicans controlling the House, the Senate and the White House. What are some of the priority items going into the next year that Republicans can push through, that we must push through before the elections and you know, God forbid we lose one of the chambers.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
Well, I was talking to a few people earlier and one of the biggest things that Republicans are struggling with right now is that internal division in the party. And we've seen this a little bit before with the more establishment Republicans and the more MAGA Republicans. But I think the biggest priority for the Republicans going into these midterms and depending on what happens, we have to come together and the party needs to find common ground so that we can fight this socialism and communism that we're seeing seeing tackle in every single one of our cities. At the end of the day, we can disagree on a few things, but the Republicans have to come together. But going back to affordability, that was the biggest things that I think Americans really voted for President Trump on was because of these promises. And so I think that as long as they continue talking about decreasing those prices and affordable housing and just making sure that the hard working American is taken care of, that's really what Republicans need to do. And the other thing is going back to some of the trade issues, the trade schools and jobs. Americans are struggling, Grant, and that is the bottom line. You know, I'm from a small town in Illinois and when I go home, my family struggles, small businesses struggle, and those are the people that voted for President Trump. And so we can win, we can win the next general election. I truly believe so with the foundation that President Trump has started. We just have to build up on that.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Yeah, we sure do, Benny. Harmony, always great work. We appreciate you keeping an eye on things up there in the halls of Congress. Thank you, as always. Merry Christmas to you. Good to see you, Benny.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
Merry Christmas, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Absolutely. All right, folks, so Benny raises some good issues here, like what are we going to do about lowering those costs? So in many respects, from my perspective, there are some easy things to do. You've got to keep going on the energy front. You've got to bring the cost of energy down. How do you do that? By issuing more drilling permits, by making sure we unleash our energy resources. You've got a Republican governor in Louisiana right now and that governor's attorney general that is literally waging war on big energy. These are a Republican governor and attorney general in Louisiana, 43 lawsuits right now against big energy in Louisiana. Back off, Jeff Landry. Back off, Ag Bureau. You're getting in the way of President Trump's agenda. Benny talked about housing costs. How do you actually bring down the cost of housing? Well, what about our timber industry? We know in Oregon and Washington, you literally have those governments waging war on the timber industry. You got the wacko environmentalists. We've got to open up federal lands to bring in more of the timber producers so we can bring the cost of lumber down. That will have a great effect. And then, of course, you add in the one big beautiful bill bringing taxes down, you add in the tariffs coming through, all of that is going to be perfect for us to get into a spot where we're going to be set up for what the administration is calling the golden age. All right. So that is what we're going to focus on. We'll make sure that Congress remains focused on that as well. So I want to talk about Jasmine Crockett now a little bit, too. I'll tell you what, talk about a Christmas wish. I want her to get beat so bad in Texas, and it is going to happen. So she's running for the United States Senate in Texas now? Yes. The loudmouth from South Dallas who really had no business being a congresswoman, is now going to try to unseat. We don't know which Republican because there is a primary right now between Ken Paxton and and John Cornyn and Wesley Hunt is in that race as well. For the Republican side of things, whoever this Republican is, there is no way Jasmine Crockett can win in the red state of Texas. She can try to make this all about Trump that she wants. But guess where Trump tops the charts? My home state, the great state of Texas. That's where he tops the charts. So Karl Rove on Fox summed it up like this.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
A friend of mine, Colin Reed, says.
Grant Stinchfield
That Texas is fool's gold for Democrats in statewide races.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Has anything changed? Not really. But this is going to be highly entertaining. Let's be clear. The early coverage of this is that inside the Democrats, this is going to be a battle between the left and the center. That's not going to be the case. It is not left versus moderate. It is nutty versus not nutty. You know, I don't always agree with Karl Rove, but that is the fact. It's nutty versus not nutty. Now here's something interesting. When you look at Texas, every election cycle, Democrats say, this is the year we're going to take Texas Remember old Beto o', Rourke, that clown? He never came close. None of these candidates do. And in fact, every election cycle over the last 10 years, Republicans have made bigger gains. And I basically owe that to President Trump because President Trump has pulled so many people in to the Republican tent, including Hispanics. Now, Jasmine Crockett may have a problem with Hispanics. I was surprised that CNN actually did this. I'm going to play for you this entire clip. Clip. Because what CNN did here is just call out Jasmine Crockett for being not just racist against white people, which we know she is. I'll get into that in a moment. But being racist against Latinos, Hispanics. She had said back in the day that anybody who voted for President Trump, including Hispanics, have a slave mentality. Well, Jake Tapper, read her her own words. This is her response. Watch it. This in its entirety. Let me ask you about a quote that you've made that has some Democrats worried about your ability to win statewide. In a December 2024 Vanity Fair profile, you talked about quotes, and I'm going to read a lot of the quotes just to put it in the context. Quote, all the complexities within the Latino community. The immigration thing has always been something that has perplexed me about this community. It's basically like. Like, I fought to get here, but I left you all where I left y', all, and I want no more y' all to come here. If I wanted to be with y', all, I would stay with y', all, but I don't want y' all come into my new home. It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like slave mentality and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves. It's almost like a slave mentality that they have. Now, about the time that that was published last year, around a million Latino voters in Texas were voting for Trump. Do they all have slave mentality? No. And that's not what that said at all.
Trainer Games / IFIT Contract Promo Voice
To be clear, it did not say.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
That every Latino has that type of mentality.
Public Investing Advertisement Voice
No, no.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
But slave. The ones that vote for people who believe in strong or Trump's immigration policy. So.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
So I don't believe that the people that voted for Trump believe in what.
Trainer Games / IFIT Contract Promo Voice
They'Re actually getting.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
That voted for Trump don't believe in what they're getting. Do you see this about Democrats? Over and over again, they literally tell you one thing that could be related to them and then try to tell you it's about us. I mean, it's projection at the highest level, I would argue that Democrats don't know what they're voting for. Democrats don't realize that Democrat policies, the one Jasmine Crockett pushes, lead to more crimes.
Pastor Corey Brooks
Them.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Higher prices at the gas pump, in the grocery store. The Democrat policies lead to unrest everywhere around the world. I don't believe that many Democrat voters realize that. And she's going to say that about us. If there's one group of voters that are informed, it's Republicans. Conservatives. Just look at talk radio. Do. Do Democrats have any successful talk radio out there? No, because they're not hungry for information. The vast majority of voters. So with that said, CNN said that she's going to make this all about Trump.
Trainer Games / IFIT Contract Promo Voice
What I'm interested to see is she's making this all about Trump. Democrats, and you talk to a number of Democratic campaign strategists, they say, obviously.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
The midterms will be about Trump.
Trainer Games / IFIT Contract Promo Voice
But you have to talk about other things. You have to talk about affordability. You have to talk about potentially how you could block votes or you could investigate Trump if you are in a majority.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
I don't know how much she's going.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
To go there, all right? So she says you got to talk about other things. So you know what? She's going to talk about race. She's going to talk about all her minority communities, specifically the black community. Let's give them special privileges that there's no way we're going to give white people. I mean, could you imagine if we as Republicans ever engaged in this kind of activity? One, I would never do it because it's just, just morally inept. It's bankrupt. Morally. Here's Jasmine Crockett.
Grant Stinchfield
Not only do you owe for the labor that was stolen and killed and all the other things, Right. But the fact is, like, we end.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
Up being so far behind.
Grant Stinchfield
Right. And so it's like, how do you bring forth people? Exactly. And so it's like if you, if.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
You do the no tax thing for.
Grant Stinchfield
People that are already, say, struggling and aren't really paying taxes in the first.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Place, it doesn't really. Exactly. No taxes for black people. Is that what you're saying there? That's what it sounds like to me. Well, I'd love to have no taxes for everybody. That's what President Trump wants. That's even better. We get all this tariff money coming in and nobody has to pay taxes. Jasmine Crockett, you're going to go down the drain pretty darn quickly. But you know what that kind of rhetoric inspires? It inspires racist. Racism from her side. There's a hatred towards white people out there. I know it's controversial for me to say it, but I really don't care. Listen to this. This is common Camu Kanban Black Nificent Books is the name of his business that he owns. And the one idea is how we are going to exterminate white people.
Pastor Corey Brooks
Because that, in my estimation, is the.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate white people off of the face of the planet to solve this problem. Now, I don't care whether you clap or not, but I'm saying to you.
Mark Fitzpatrick (Old State Saloon Owner)
That we need to solve this problem.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Exterminate black white people off the face of the planet. That's his plan. That's really straight from Jasmine Crockett. She just doesn't say it. She makes a guy like him say it. Coming up next, some hope for everybody. Stick with me.

Welcome back everyone. During this Christmas season, I like to think that I can at least give you some hope out there that there is a brighter horizon. Even in communities that are so impoverished, that are overridden with crime, where violence is an everyday occurrence. When you think of a city like Chicago, we know that black on black crime is an absolute epidemic. But how do we take these kids out of the cycle of violence? How do we give them hope? How do we get them to take responsibility for themselves and their own actions? Now I want you to listen to this young girl and think about what she's saying here when she describes what her neighborhood is like in Chicago. Three words that describes the community.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
Violent.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Unsafe. Disturbing. It's not safe to just walk around the neighborhood. Can you imagine growing up in a neighborhood where it's not safe? In a neighborhood where you put your head on a pillow and you hear gunshots at night? You don't know if your brother and sister are going to make it home alive. Too many communities across the country, that is what is going on. But in a place like Chicago, our buddy Pastor Corey Brooks is doing something about it. Over at the New Beginnings Church. They run summer camps. They have after school programs. They have all kinds of things for these kids. And they're building a community center right now. They're in the process of building this, but I'm going to call, I'll dub it right now the Big Beautiful Community center in Chicago so they can do more things like this for the kids at summer camp.
Mark Fitzpatrick (Old State Saloon Owner)
I like how you can meet new.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
People and there are a lot of cramps, crafts you can do here and it keeps you entertained. I like having fun here. My friends are nice. Everybody's nice. Yes. You know what I love are the smiles. And that's what we need more of. We need more smiles. Now you may remember Pastor Corey Burks from his time on the roof of his church, calling attention to the violence in his community and things that need to be done. I want to bring him in now. He is making a trek across the country to raise awareness for this and of course, raise money for that new community center. The pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago, as well as the founder and CEO of Project Hood, Pastor Corey Brooks, is back with us. Pastor, great to have you back on.
Pastor Corey Brooks
Thanks. It's always a blessing to be on your show and thank you for highlighting the work that we're trying to do on the south side of Chicago. I really appreciate it.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Well, you know, when. When anybody hears the term south side of Chicago, they instantly think violence. I would look at those little kids that we just played. It doesn't have to be that way, does it, Corey?
Pastor Corey Brooks
It doesn't have to be that way. You know, the first little girl that you showed where she said it's violent and disturbing. I'm proud to say after mentoring her and helping her graduate from high school, she now serves in our United States military. So that's what we're trying to accomplish. We're trying to transform lives. We're trying to change the trajectory of the lives of young people on the south and let them know that they don't have to be victims and they don't have to not. They don't have to give up, that they can have hope and they can make it. It just takes a little help, a lot of assistance and making sure that we come alongside them and give them all the tools that they need to change their lives. And when you do that, they're showing that they can do it.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
All right, here's what I love. I've known you for a number of years now. I remember talking to you about this community center before ground was even broken. It's under construction now. Now, Correct. I mean, this thing is now taken off. You still need more money, though, correct?
Pastor Corey Brooks
Yes. The big, beautiful community center is under construction. You know, it's a 75% complete. It's a fantastic facility. It's right in one of the toughest neighborhoods in all of America. And what we're trying to show America is that if we just practice good conservative values and principles, not depend on government, roll up our sleeves, that we can come together and do something big and bold and beautiful. And that's what's happening on the south side of Chicago with this 90,000 square foot center, that it's definitely going to change generations and it's going to definitely change this neighborhood and become a model for what could be done in very tough areas across America. Every block can make a comeback.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
All right, explain to me this trek across the country that you're doing. Where did you start? Where are you going to finish? The goal, I guess, is to raise money. How are you doing it, and is there a way people can help you?
Pastor Corey Brooks
Yeah. So we decided we're not going to depend on government. We don't take government funds to do the things that we do. So I have to be creative to raise the money and bring awareness. So I'm walking across America. We started September 1st. We're going to end, and we started in New York City. It's going to end September 19th at 2026 in Los Angeles, California. We're now on one day 100, and I'm right outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. And we got a long walk. We got to get to Atlanta by January 1st. And then we're going to head west, going to Los Angeles. So we're going to go over the south and not avoid. We got to avoid the Midwest so we don't get caught up in the winter.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
All right, so you're the forest gump now heading across. Heading across America. How do you. Are you able to do this and not be in Chicago when all these things are going on? I mean, this takes you away from the one community you're trying to help. How are you managing that?
Pastor Corey Brooks
Well, I have a wonderful staff. My son is there overseeing everything. I have a great team of people. You can't achieve anything great without having a great team. And I've been blessed and fortunate to have a great team of people who work and who are diligently trying to make sure that we stay on program. So we're planning, we're being very Disciplined in what we do. Very strategic. And teamwork makes the dream work, according to John Maxwell. And I'm seeing that lived out in my own life. And so Project Hood is our organization. It's the website that people can go to to find out the work that we're doing. And if they want to join me on the walk, I'm going to be walking toward Atlanta. Then we're going to cross over and go west so people can join us. They can find out the dates, where I'm going to be in particular. C and we definitely need all the help that we can get. You know, we're able to accomplish what we're accomplishing because Americans from all across the country are helping us. There's no doubt about it that we would not be able to accomplish what we're doing without the help of some great Americans who believe that you can use conservative values and get some things done on the south side of Chicago.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Well, in many respects, this is a real Christmas story. And I hope you get the Christmas miracle of turning that entire community around. Can I ask you, how many miles do you walk a day? It's going to take you a year year to get all the way to Los angeles.
Pastor Corey Brooks
We walk 12.5 miles every day, Monday through Friday. We take Saturday and Sundays off for rest and for events. And we're. Our goal is to raise $25 million. So far, we raised $2.2 million. And we're really thankful for all the people who have given. But we're gonna, we're gonna hopefully raise all the funds and we're gonna pay off this center so it's debt free. We're gonna start a school for girls and boys, a private classical Christian school teaching good, conservative principles and value educated the way they're supposed to. And we're going to start an endowment so that we never have to depend on government for anything. So that's why we're working really hard to get it done.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
This is why I think you're a true American hero. Pastor Corey Brooks. You realize you're going to end up in la. You're probably going to be in a city even more dangerous than Chicago when you finish. You realize that, right?
Pastor Corey Brooks
Hey, Grant, I tell you this, though. When I get to Dallas, you got to walk with me. You got to promise when I get to Dallas, Texas, you walk with me at least a mile.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
100%. I'm in pretty good shape. I'll walk with you as far as I can possibly go. This is, this is an absolutely great cause. And Before I let you go, I just want to remind people about your time on the roof. And you spent time sleeping outside in the middle of winter in Chicago. Can you tell me what that was about and how successful that was?
Pastor Corey Brooks
It was tough, and it was very successful. 343 days on the rooftop. We were able to purchase that old building, that old motel and tear it down. That's exactly the space where we're building the community center now. So. 343 days on that rooftop. Also, we got 20,000 new donors from across America. We raised $20 million of the $47 million that's needed for that center. And that's how we were able to break ground and get started. So it was a great. It was difficult, but God really blessed us.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Well, it's amazing what you're doing and the passion, the commitment to it all. And of course, all of this is about the kids, keeping them saf, making sure they have a prosperous future. Pastor Cory Brooks, thank you for coming on. Be safe on your track. I'm going to give people the website to make sure that they can go support you. And I promise you, when you get to Dallas, I will walk with you. Merry Christmas, my friend. It's always great to have you on the program. Here's the website, folks. Projecthood.org that's projecthood.org and I don't care where you live in this country. If you can help out Pastor Brooks and the kids on the south side of Chicago to give them some hope on this Christmas, even if it's 10, 15 bucks, maybe you got more than that. Maybe you can put a big donation down on it. But I don't ask Inchfield's army to contribute often, but he's been so good to this program and really firing up that beacon of hope in that community. God bless Pastor Brooks and God bless all of those kids and God bless all of you who donate during this Christmas season. All right, folks, listen. Listen up. Free beer for turning in illegal immigrants. We'll hear how one Idaho bar owner is helping ICE in his hometown. What's next?

You know folks, fighting crime takes an entire community. It takes cooperation from the community. Sometimes you need a little incentive. Like like if you help ICE agents out you get a free beer. Not just one, but for the whole year. This was from the Old State Saloon in Idaho. Check out this tweet. He posted this up. The owner of the saloon that says, anyone who helps ice, identify, and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets free beer for one month. I said a year for one month at Old State Saloon. Well, guess what? We have a winner. And they found an illegal alien that blew the whistle on a state representative. Listen to this. He was arrested and charged with domestic battery. He choked his wife in front of his daughter. And in part of that arrest, he. They found methamphetamine in his wallet. I asked Mickelson about that arrest.
Trainer Games / IFIT Contract Promo Voice
As far as I was aware, and.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
I'm aware, is he had a legal visa to be in this country. Country. All right, so the illegal alien was working for a state representative. He got the free month of beer. Now, my big question is, if I lived in Idaho, would I get free vodka for the month? It's a little more expensive than beer, but we shall ask him. I want to bring in now retired police officer and owner of Old State Saloon. Mark Fitzpatrick is with us. Mark, welcome to the program.
Mark Fitzpatrick (Old State Saloon Owner)
Hey. Thank you. And, you know, we could probably arrange something, bend the rules a little bit for you and figure out a solution.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
All right, Maybe two weeks of. I drink a lot of vodka, though, so you might be. Might be too much. Mark, first off, thank you for your service to this country as a police officer. We're big fans of cops on this program. You own this saloon. I saw this story over the last week or so. It blew up. Were you surprised at the attention you got from all of this?
Mark Fitzpatrick (Old State Saloon Owner)
Well, the thing is, you live in a world that's full of deception and evil around every turn, and it just. Just pervasive in the media and everything. And when you speak out truth and stand for righteousness, and, you know, for me, I want to glorify Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the king of kings. When you speak out in truth, because he's the way, the truth, and the life, people will get so angry. And he said it would be that way. You follow me? The world's going to hate you. Well, let me tell you, the world really hated what I did this week, because the truth of the matter is, is that on this issue, you cannot have a strong country if you don't have a strong border and strong immigration laws and rules and enforcement. And we've figured that out. We've watched it take place during the Biden administration, where they pretty much incentivized some of the worst of the worst people in the world to come into our country and take advantage of our people and rape and pillage, as they say, and trafficking and everything else. And now we're dealing with the pain of trying to rip everybody apart and get them out of here. But that's the stance now is like, everybody's telling me that's a patriot. Hey, enough is enough. We as a country need to get them all out now and then get strong and rich and get borders strong, and then we can figure out if we can help people around the world at that point. But first, it's America first.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
Well, let me say this. You did get a lot of support. There are a lot of conservatives who were behind you, thought it was a great story. You raised attention to the. To. To all of this. You also got some horrible death threats, things tweeted at you, sent to you. Let me read one of them. If you could put Cut four up there for me. Guys, this reads. It was sent to Old State Saloon, where it reads, f you're Nazi enabling effing business. Your whole state is a bunch of sick pedophile Mormon Fs. I hope your business goes under and everyone affiliated gets exactly what they deserve. It's a pretty sick tweet to send to somebody. I'm going to ask you this in order for you to respond to all of these critics. Mark, do you hate Hispanic people? Do you hate immigrants to this country? Do you. Do you despise anyone that's a different color than you?
Mark Fitzpatrick (Old State Saloon Owner)
No, I get racist is the word. People are using a lot this week for me, and it's just, just. It's despicable. The.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
The.
Mark Fitzpatrick (Old State Saloon Owner)
The fact of the matter is, is I'm Christian. I love all people. The Bible's really clear that there will be people of all races, all tribes and nations will be present at his throne, which means those, you know, people will be represented from all skin colors. It's not that that doesn't unite us. It's what unites us is our faith in Jesus Christ as far as the way we look for eternity, Right? And so that's how I look at it. And that's how what the message that I would want anybody, it doesn't matter what race you are to receive tonight, is that you're saying sins can be forgiven by Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
I would imagine if you're an illegal alien from Poland and you're white as the driven snow, you too would get free beer if they were deported as well, correct?
Mark Fitzpatrick (Old State Saloon Owner)
Yes, absolutely.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
So did this have anything to do with your background in law enforcement? Did you get into law enforcement because of your love for this country and the role, rule of law and, of course, Christianity? Mark, I. I'll let you respond for the last word here.
Mark Fitzpatrick (Old State Saloon Owner)
Well, I, you know, I got to watch my dad. He was a police officer for 25 years for LAPD and a great role model for me. And it's just something that I wanted to do in my life, and I did that for 15 years. And now I just wake up every day and I want to stand for truth and what's right. And sometimes when you do that, people get upset. But I tell you, there's also a just a amazing amount of people who are in support, who are patriots. They're calling with support. They're leaving voicemails. They're going on our webpage. They're buying some of our shirts that we have for sale. Some people are even buying a round of drinks for people at the bar. America is very generous and supportive, and I really, really appreciate that and salute all of you patriots out there.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
That that's the best part of the whole story. Mark Fitzpatrick, I appreciate you coming on. I want people to follow you at Old State Saloon. That's at Old State Saloon on the platform at X. Thank you. Keep us posted.

Everyone. On this Christmas Eve I have a Christmas wish and that is that the mainstream media would wake up to the realities of the crime that was perpetrated against America during the COVID so called pandemic. And then of course the response to it with the vaccine. First and foremost I believe this vaccine is very dangerous. We'll go into some of the details of why I believe that you've got upwards of 30,000 people that have been reported killed by the vaccine. 9,000 of them on the first day or one to two days after taking the vaccine. The mainstream media doesn't talk about that. But then there's the issue of COVID deaths. To this day, you have the mainstream media still pushing this nonsense that kids were dying of COVID Quite frankly, folks, there is no evidence of children dying of COVID At least not children that were somewhat healthy. Okay? Certainly there were not 2000 children that died of COVID You have to wonder where this CBS correspondent gets her information from. There is no definitive, definitive evidence that Covid vaccines cause death in children.
Grant Stinchfield
No definitive evidence that Covid vaccines are dangerous for children.
LG Gram Advertisement Voice
Okay?
Grant Stinchfield
What we do know is COVID infection is dangerous. As again, over 2,000 children have died.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
From COVID since the start of the pandemic.
Benny Ray Harmony (Congressional Correspondent)
And that is what you want to guard against.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
That is absolutely a false, falsehood. It is proven and now written on the vaccine as a side effect of the vaccine. Myocarditis, the enlarging of the heart. We know that people that have taken the vaccine have died because of myocarditis. Now back to her comment about 2000 children dying. Where is she getting that information from? It is absolutely false. So what I want to do, and thanks to my great producing crew here at Real America's Voice, we go back back to the archives. This is the director of health for the state of Illinois. Now, remember the state of Illinois at the height of COVID a blue state, pushing the vaccine on you, scaring everyone. That Covid is going to be the end of the world, and everyone's going to die if you don't listen to them. I want you to listen to her spell it out. And I promise you, this is no Republican, but she spelled out the scam of it all. And it was early on. And the media simply to this day still does not cover this. COVID deaths. What was registered as COVID deaths. Roll it. So that means that if you were in hospice and had already been given, you know, a few weeks to live and then you also were found to have Covid, that would be counted as a COVID death. It means that if, technically, if even if you died of a clear alternate cause, but you had Covid at the same time, it's still listed as a COVID death. So wait a second. She's just confirming what you and I already knew, that they were labeling everything as a COVID death. So the 2,000 kids that allegedly died of COVID most likely didn't die of COVID They had Covid when they died. Maybe they died In a car accident, maybe, God forbid they died of cancer. Answer. Whatever it was, it wasn't because of COVID Do you remember when they had someone that died in a motorcycle accident and the coroner's office listed it as a COVID death? The family was outraged. So to this day, like that CBS correspondent still pushing this misinformation on you. Disinformation, I don't even like calling it that. Because what it really is are lies pushing it on you. You to continue to force you into getting these boosters after boosters after boosters when we know they are not working. So I want to play you a clip of Senator Ron Johnson, who has been one of the premier senators when it comes to investigating Covid. The COVID vaccine and the scam of it all. This was a recent hearing. RFK Jr. Was there. And quite frankly, Senator Johnson spelled it out as only Senator Johnson can do.
Pastor Corey Brooks
My committee's got now over 8 million pages of information just in the first tranche. By the way, what we discovered is the cdc, somebody in the federal health agencies interagency communication hid the signal. They admitted there was a signal on my architis and they hid it. They didn't warn the public, they didn't warn doctors. So that's just one. One instance of corruption and lies told by the cdc. We've got a lot of others will be rolling out. Okay, so we held our first hearing and.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
All right, so you hear that Myocarditis. I talked about the enlarging of the heart. We've seen videos of young athletes dropping over on basketball courts, soccer fields, football fields. We all know about that NFL player. To this day, we still have questions about him. Now, myocarditis, they hid the side effect of this. An absolute fact. He spells it out. He's got the data to prove it. They don't care about your health. What they care about and continue to care about is making money. Continue, Senator Johnson, permanent subcommittee investigation on.
Pastor Corey Brooks
That hiding of the signal. Myocarditis. We've heard a lot of studies, okay? As I've looked into science, it's been thoroughly corrupted. Here's data, and I'd like to enter this sheet into the record. I've been publishing this chart for, you know, since really early 2021. When I'm on, for example, talk radio shows and they talk about this, they get deplatformed. Or they were, you know, because all the censorship during the vitamins administration. Here's the facts. The Vayer system that was touted in October of 2020, this great safety surveillance system on Covid. A few months later when they didn't like the results, they started denigrating their own system. But VAERS shows that There have been 30,742 deaths reported on VAERS worldwide associated with COVID vaccine. 38,740 to 9,252 of those deaths occurred on the day of vaccination within one or two days.
Grant Stinchfield (Host / Main Commentator)
He just said it. He's got the data to back it up. The various system vaccine adverse reporting system. So 9,000 deaths from the vaccine reported on the day or one to two days after taking the vaccine. Now what's confirmed, to be open and honest with you, is that someone died on the day, within one to two days after the vaccine. They don't know it was the vaccine, just that that happened. Someone dies. It needs more investigation. But there is no other vaccine on the market with that kind of number, with that many deaths. And yet you've got CBS medical correspondent respondents going out there pushing this idea that kids are dying of the virus, when in fact the kids and adults quite frankly for that matter, are not dying of the virus. They're dying from the vaccine. Really. It was an absolute crime perpetrated on America. I hold Dr. Anthony Fauci responsible. That man is. Is. No. He'll have to meet his maker. Let's just say that. All right, folks, coming up next, McDonald's. Not really the Christmas cheer here. Forget about AI. It's the message that I'm upset about. We'll show you what I'm talking about when we continue.

All right, folks, this is a special week, so I'm trying to be positive. Positive. But this AI stuff, it's killing me. I'm worried it's going to be stealing people's jobs. Remember the advice. Do not be the task, okay? Because I does the tasks. Don't be the guy who does the task. That's good advice. But McDonald's comes out with this commercial. I don't know if you've seen it yet. One, it's done completely with AI, which is fine enough. But I mean, come on, all all the actors are put out of work. And two, it's a totally negative message. Like you may think it's funny and I'm sure you're going to go through some of the things you see in this commercial we've all gone through during Christmas, but I really trying to chip away at what Christmas is all about. It's supposed to be an upbeat message. McDonald's, what are you doing here? Take a look. The roast turns a charcoal and the cookies burn to friggin K Because it feels like a zoo.

Date Aired: December 25, 2025
This special Christmas Eve episode of "Stinchfield Tonight" centers around themes of American values, conservative economic optimism, immigration policy debates, cultural and racial controversies in politics, community-based solutions to inner-city violence, and skepticism of mainstream narratives regarding COVID-19 and vaccines. Grant Stinchfield leads with spirited criticism of Democratic policy, celebrates recent Republican-backed economic measures, features a discussion with a controversial Idaho bar owner incentivizing deportations, and spotlights a pastor's efforts to uplift Chicago youth—all leading up to a pointed critique of media handling of the COVID pandemic.

Community heroes like Pastor Brooks are lauded for embodying conservative principles put to action, while figures such as Mark Fitzpatrick highlight grassroots activism. The episode closes with a strong indictment of media pandemic narratives and a plea to retain Christmas cheer in the face of “negativity” from both culture and technology.
