Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Political Offensive Against Trump and MAGA (03:49–09:49)

• Stinchfield argues there is a relentless and escalating campaign by Democratic leaders—especially governors in blue states—to “weaponize” government power against Donald Trump and his supporters.
• He highlights a taxpayer-funded California website allegedly cataloguing “Trump criminals,” criticizing public resources being used for political warfare.
• Notable Quotes:
  • “The war on President Trump is not going anywhere. The left is not going to give up on their quest to try to destroy this man, anyone who surrounds him... that goes for all of you as well.” (02:10, Stinchfield)
  • Criticizes calls for civilian “activism” as promoting chaos rather than civic duty.

Key Soundbites from Politicians

• Gov. J.B. Pritzker (IL): Urged constituents to “film things” and “be loud for America,” which Stinchfield interprets as undermining law enforcement and the presidency.
  • “Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America.” (05:09, Pritzker, cited by Stinchfield)
• Gov. Tim Walz (MN): Floated the need for a “shadow government” as opposition, which Stinchfield criticizes as ignoring the entrenched “deep state.”
  • “I think we need a shadow government.” (07:13, Walz, cited by Stinchfield)
• Critique of New York City politics and the idea of “international law” overruling American sovereignty.

2. California Politics, Social Decay & Sex Trafficking (09:49–16:51)

• Steve Hilton (10:51): Details the worsening crisis of underage sex trafficking in Los Angeles, blaming recent state bills that restrict police authority. He exposes the prevalence and brazenness of the trade, debunks myths about the backgrounds of trafficked girls, and lambasts Democrats for enabling it.
  • “I was here on Friday night, driving up and down 50 blocks here, young girls being sold for sex...over 50% are coming from foster homes in LA and Southern California.” (10:57–12:07, Hilton)
  • “This is slavery... these are American girls... traded by criminal gangs and networks like a piece of meat.” (14:06, Hilton)
• Stinchfield: Adds insight from working with anti-trafficking organizations, emphasizing that trafficked women are essentially slaves, not free agents.
• Calls for 2026 to be a turning point in fighting this epidemic nationwide.
  • “Look, the goal for this should be 2026 to try to put a stop to this in every state across the country.” (15:32, Stinchfield)

California Gubernatorial Race

• Hilton positions himself as the candidate to clean up Newsom’s “failures”—highest unemployment, poverty, living costs, and out-of-control homelessness/crime.
  • “Unbelievable. Total BS from start to finish. Gavin Newsom. Highest unemployment rate in America. Highest poverty rate in America. Highest cost for everything that matters... He’s a total failure on every front.” (16:33, Hilton)

3. Climate Policy & the End of Climate “Alarmism” (19:30–29:32)

• Review of 2025’s Climate News:

  • Stinchfield celebrates the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord and the rescinding of federal EV mandates, arguing these unburden the US economy and protect American sovereignty.

• Mark Morano joins to discuss the collapse of federal and global climate policies, plummeting support for EVs, and the shift in mainstream opinion (even among figures like Bill Gates).

  • “Will they even go forward? I mean, Ford’s taken a $20 billion bath on all of their plans since Trump pulled out the rug from under all the EV and gas powered car bands...” (23:47, Morano)
  • On Paris Accord withdrawal: “By pulling the US out, Trump helped destroy the entire foundation of that whole treaty. And right now we are looking at 2025 heralding the entire collapse...” (24:58, Morano)
  • “The climate hoax died in 2025.” (29:22, Morano)

• A Personal Anecdote: Stinchfield’s Electric Hummer

  • Stinchfield admits to buying an EV Hummer with a $10k government rebate, but criticizes subsidies and doubts viability of forced electrification.
    • “I needed to drive to Waco... I couldn’t take the Hummer because I didn’t know if I could get there and back. So my great car, I couldn’t use it for everything.” (22:11, Stinchfield)
    • “That’s not capitalism when you ban the competition.” (23:21, Stinchfield)

• Both celebrate the restoration of energy choice and American resource development.

4. Rallying for American Grit & Mindset Transformation (32:05–43:52)

• The Maverick System: Stinchfield introduces his course aimed at developing a “maverick” mindset—unapologetic confidence, strategic thinking, and fearless pursuit of goals.
  • “Much of America has gone woke. We're raising our children to be weak pansies. Quite frankly, the idea of alpha man and toxic masculinity is now shunned by so many in our community. The problem is, all of this is ruining this nation.” (32:05, Stinchfield)
• Advocates self-belief regardless of upbringing and stresses strategic effort (“work smarter, not just harder”).
• Practical Mindset Tips:
  • Love what you do—passion prevents quitting.
  • Strategize, adapt, be flexible (cites Trump’s “concrete wall” analogy).
    • “You can’t necessarily say, I’m never giving up... you gotta be able to weave and bob. You don't have to go through a concrete wall when you can go over it or around it or under it...” (35:37, Stinchfield)
  • Recognize difference between fear and intuition; trust critical thinking (COVID example).
  • Manifesting success: What you focus on, you find—Tony Robbins exercise about perception.
    • “Once you develop a belief, you find what supports it... Whether you think it's true, whether you think it’s not, it’s going to be true for you.” (40:23, Robbins, via Stinchfield)

5. Wisdom from Jim Valvano & the Value of Focus (43:52–48:02)

• Jim Valvano’s ESPY Speech: Stinchfield features Valvano’s advice to focus on three things: family, religion, and your primary goal (be it sports, business, etc.).
  • “Gentlemen, we will be successful this year if you can focus on three things and three things only: your family, your religion, and the Green Bay Packers.” (46:28, Valvano)
• Advocates for resilience, vision and a refusal to quit—even under the hardest circumstances.

6. Manifestation in Action—The Power of First Steps (49:39–52:15)

• Motivational vignette: Stinchfield recounts a story from a Grant Cardone seminar, where a homeless attendee, through the audacity of showing up and asking for help, receives spontaneous donations from peers, illustrating the transformative power of action and confidence.
  • “You don’t need a job to do that. You need a target... It starts with the first 500 or 100 or 50, whatever the number is that you need.” (50:00, Cardone, via Stinchfield)

7. A “New Year’s Miracle”: Nancy Pelosi Admits No Cause for New Trump Impeachment (55:56–57:37)

• Stinchfield plays a soundbite where Nancy Pelosi acknowledges there must be legitimate cause for impeachment.
  • “There has to be cause. There has to be reason. We had review. This was a very serious, historic thing...” (56:02, Pelosi, cited by Stinchfield)
• He casts this as a political sign that the tide is turning—or, at the very least, that Democrats realize Americans are weary of relentless anti-Trump investigations.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On political opposition to Trump:
  “When they undermine Trump, they undermine America.” (06:06, Stinchfield)
• On fighting sex trafficking in California:
  “We’ve got to put a stop to it. It shames us, it shames California, shames America, and it should certainly shame the Democrats...” (13:04, Hilton)
• On the myth of choice in sex work:
  “These prostitutes are not Pretty Woman...they’re slaves. And the Democrats enable it, Steve.” (13:51, Stinchfield)
• On mindset and grit:
  “You don’t have to go through a concrete wall when you can go over it or around it...” (35:37, Stinchfield) “If all of us are mentally tough...the left would never stand a chance.” (40:56, Stinchfield)
• Motivational vignette:
  “You need a target. It starts with the first 500 or 100 or 50, whatever the number is that you need.” (50:00, Cardone, via Stinchfield)
• On leadership and focus (Valvano):
  “Your family, your religion, and Rutgers basketball.” (46:49, Valvano, via Stinchfield)

Tone & Language

Stinchfield’s language is unapologetically combative and motivational, laced with humor, sarcasm, and directness (“woke pansies,” “Mugger, the most useless governor in America”). Guests echo this sharp edge. The mood merges righteous anger over left-wing policy with a relentless optimism about personal and national renewal in 2026. Frequent calls to action—both political and personal—underscore a belief in American exceptionalism and individual agency.

• Rather than waiting for a political savior, Stinchfield urges listeners to develop inner resilience, strategic thinking, and boldness in pursuit of personal goals.
• Stories, quotes, and practical exercises from figures like Tony Robbins and Jim Valvano reinforce the episode’s message: Success is a product of focus, persistence, adaptability, and self-belief.
• The episode ends with a surprise political “concession” from Nancy Pelosi, casting hope for a shifting political landscape in 2026.

Actionable Lessons

[Grant Stinchfield]

Get started today at 844-844-IHeart or iheartadvertising.com well, good evening everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield on this very special New Year's Eve 2025 in the books. I am so honored you spend at least part of your evening with me and we'll be doing a little looking back, a little looking forward and all of that. But I want to start with something that I saw. You know, I know that the war on President Trump is not going anywhere. The left is not going to give up on their quest to try to destroy this man, anyone who surrounds him. And by the way folks, that goes for all of you as well. They will even weaponize government against him. I know that's no surprise. You just have to look at Atlanta, Georgia or New York City and of course California. The state of California has launched a website attacking the President of the United States. This by all accounts appears to be a taxpayer funded website that goes through the, quote, Trump criminals. Starting with President Trump going through J6ers and a whole host of others. This is about as bad as it gets. This from a government taxpayers. Do you think a Republican, a MAGA conservative that maybe lives in Riverside wants his tax dollars going to something like this? Carl DeMaio is a Republican state assemblyman from California. He spoke out against this this week.

[Steve Hilton]

Gavin Newsom shamefully launch a website with.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Taxpayer money funding it that he says will highlight Donald Trump's relationships with so.

[Steve Hilton]

Called, quote, criminal cronies.

[iHeart Radio Announcer]

So he's using your taxpayer money to.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Basically engage in politics. Now we know that Gavin Newsom's going to be running for president, by the way, 11 points behind Kamala Harri. What a joke. Gavin Newsom, if you can't be ahead of Kamala Harris, you have no chance of winning the presidency. But with that aside, he's the governor of California and he's using taxpayer dollars to basically campaign because let's face it, President Trump may not be on the ballot. MAGA most certainly will be. So this is why they go after President Trump. Now let's consider all the leftists that continue to wage war on President Trump. We'll take a look back. All you have to do to go to Illinois, J.B. pritzker, the governor there, listen to this. Cut one. What you can do is look out for your communities and your neighbors, know your rights, film things that you see happening in your neighborhoods and your streets.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

And share them with the news media.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America. You know what he's telling you to do? Go out there and rabble rouse, go out there and cause chaos for law enforcement trying to do their job. He's trying to call into question President Trump's authority all of its bad news. Listen to what he called ICE agents. These ICE agents are risking their lives for you and me. And I'm telling you the reason I play this soundbite is because my prediction is this will not Only continue in 2026, the rhetoric will be amped even greater than this in Their own words. ICE intended to unleash, quote, a show in the Broadview community without provocation and acting like jackbooted thugs. ICE has attacked and detained members of the press, including an independent journalist. Jack booted thugs. Now he thinks he's Wayne lapierre from the nra. Not even close. And it doesn't just stop with that governor. It's the governor of every blue state that continuously tries to undermine President Trump. When they undermine Trump, they undermine America. And the difference between when we were going after Joe Biden is Joe Biden was lawless. Joe Biden had no regard for the Constitution, or whoever was running the auto pen had no regard for the Constitution institution. There's big differences when you call out policy disagreements compared to what is literally treasonous behavior and a coup of America. That's what we were calling out. They have policy disagreements. So call President Trump out for the policy. I don't care about that. But don't wage war and try to undermine this president. Tim Walls is great at this. You know, Tampon Tim. Now, if this guy thinks about running for the presidency, I'm just going to tell you, when your nickname is Tampon Tim, it probably is not going to be in the cars to be President of the United States. But listen to him talk about undermining the president, United States, and in turn, you. We see one of the first things they do is, is try and restrict the vote. This is one of the things, though, that this is going to take power to the streets. I don't know what the answer is on this, but I'm kind of. I've been saying this. I think we need a shadow government. So when all these things come up every single day, we've got an alternate press conference telling the truth about what things are happening. This is how dumb and behind the times Tim Walls is. Tim no Balls Walls doesn't even understand. We already have a shadow government. It's called the Deep State, and it's already working to undermine President Trump. It already exists, and President Trump is trying to dismantle it step by step. It's proven to be much harder to dismantle than ever expected. But President Trump is trying. And then, you know, President Trump's hometown is the same hometown as mine. New York, New York City. It's where I grew up. It's an absolute cesspool now. It's been destroyed. It's going to be even worse when Mamdani gets in. He literally is ruining the American dream in the city that created the American dream. Roll Mohamdani So I've said time and again that I believe this is a city of international law. And being a city of international law means looking to uphold international law. And that means upholding the warrants from the International Criminal Court, whether they're for Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin. I think that that's critically important to showcase our values. And unlike Donald Trump, I'm someone who looks to exist within the confines of the laws that we have. Throw everything he said out the window, except for the fact he thinks New York City is a city of international law. What the f does that mean again? The sovereignty of America is everything. We're not ruled by any international court. We're not ruled by any international body, especially not the United nations, which happens to be in New York. And if it was my way, I'd kick it right out of New York as well. Now, I have great hope of turning all of this around. It's going to be a long shot, especially in states like New York and, of course, California. But I've got friends who are trying desperately to turn this around for the good of the people in those states. One of them is California businessman, former Fox News host. He's now Republican candidate for governor. I'm talking about our buddy, Steve Hilton. Steve, welcome to the program and Happy New Year to you.

[Steve Hilton]

Fantastic to be with you on this very special night. And to everyone joining us, Happy New Year.

[Grant Stinchfield]

It's gonna be a great year.

[Steve Hilton]

Next year is gonna be the year that we turn California around.

[Grant Stinchfield]

How about it's the year that we say, Governor Hilton, when you get sworn in. I guess that'll be in 2027, but exactly.

[Steve Hilton]

Well, let's come back. This time next year, Grant and I will be governor elect. How about that? And you know it's gonna happen. I had a lovely Christmas present just before Christmas. The latest poll has me lead, so it's looking good.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right. One of the reasons why I think you should be governor, you expose something in. In California, which is. Which is pretty darn awful. And that's sex trafficking. And I want to talk about what the legislature did there where they created this. You can't get arrested for loitering, which basically enabled the prostitutes and the pimps to do their thing. But roll if we can, Steve, on the streets in, I guess. Where is this Los Angeles, Steve? I think it is.

[Steve Hilton]

It's Figueroa Street, Los Angeles.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Okay. The worst of the barrel. All right, roll cut 13.

[Steve Hilton]

I was here on Friday night, driving up and down 50 blocks here, young girls being Sold for sex. I saw a girl, I've got the pictures here, an older girl trading a younger girl, she looked about eight years old, being sold for sex right here on the streets of Los Angeles.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You call the cops, what do you do?

[Mark Morano]

Steve?

[Steve Hilton]

Well, I was actually with a group that rescues the girls. That's what I was doing. I was out with them on the Friday night before that clip you just showed, which was a press conference on the Monday morning. Unbelievably, you can just about see in the background there of that clip. It was 9:30am on a Monday and you had girls right behind me then on a Monday morning. It's brazen, it's out in the open. This is not some. They're so unafraid of any consequences. And remember, these are all trafficked girls. These are criminal gangs and criminal networks. And the most sickening thing about it, for those who hear that word trafficking and they may assume, well, this is girls from across the border coming up from Latin America or Mexico, wherever it may be. No, these are American girls. The vast majority American girls, a high proportion of them, over 50%, are coming from foster homes in LA and Southern California. It is just absolutely unbelievable. And this is getting much, much worse for exactly the reason that you gave, which is that they passed a bill a couple of years ago, Gavin Newsom signed it, which completely ties the hands of law enforcement who no longer are able to, to go up to girls on the street and challenge them. Because if you go up and you question them based on their appearance, apparently that is anti trans or something, which was the, the point of this insane legislation, this cruel legislation that allows this disgusting sick trade not just to continue but to grow. We've got to put a stop to it. It shames us, it shames California, shames America, and it should certainly shame the Democrats who are letting this happen. By the way, last point, Grant. These are who never stop lecturing us about compassion and social justice and my goodness, gender equality. Unbelievable.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know, over the years I've not only been on the board of organizations that help try to stop the sex trafficking of women, I've been on the board of organizations that have law enforcement come in and get training on how to investigate these kinds of crimes. And here's what I learned. These prostitutes are not Pretty Woman. It's not their choice to go out on the street and some kind of a glamorous life. They're basically kidnapped by these pimps. Steve, I don't even know if you know this. You know how much a prostitute Gets paid by the pimp. The answer is zero. They get no money for their work. That prostitute lives with the pimp. The pimp gives her food, gives her clothing, pays her bills, but they get no money. They're slaves. And the Democrats enable it, Steve.

[Steve Hilton]

It is exactly that. It's slavery. And again, just the origin of, of some of this. There's a story of one girl that was rescued just a week before I was there by the same group led by some pastors from Southern California. This is a girl, she's 14 years old, from Orange County. She posted online she was, she'd bought some weed or something and she owed 45. Innocently posted something about that. I mean, I don't think you should be buying weed at 14, but there you go. And so you've got. She said, I need $45. Within hours, someone jumped on one of these sick people, here's an opportunity. And they, they said, I can help you get the money. She meets up with him again. Should never have happened. We gotta make sure our kids understand that. But still it did happen. She's with this guy who says, who responded online, said, yeah, I can help you get the $45 that you owe. Within two hours of meeting the guy, she was out on the streets on Figueroa. He took her there, gave her drugs, gave her some drugs and changed her clothing. And she's out on the streets within two hours. Within five days she's rescued, thankfully five days later because the parents threw up the alert. This organization helped track her down. But during that five day period, she was traded three times by different criminal gangs and networks like a piece of meat. I mean, it's so disgusting. And you see the guys lining up in cars like lining up like it's some sick fast food drive through picking up these young girls. It's unbelievable.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Look, the goal for this should be 2026 to try to put a stop to this in every state across the country. California too. I know you're working on making that happen, Steve, just because I'd be remiss, you're running basically against the idea of Gavin Newsom. Like the next Democrat will run against the idea of President Trump. Let me just play a clip of Gavin Newsom bragging about what's wrong with California and then a real quick response on the backside of this cut 8 substance Prop 50 substance 53 lawsuits against the administration.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Substance $11 insulin $25 minimum wage for health care workers.

[Steve Hilton]

Unbelievable. Total BS from start to finish. Here's the substance. Gavin Newsom. Highest unemployment rate in America. Highest poverty rate in America. Highest cost for everything that matters. Gas, electric, water, rent, insurance, highest taxes with the least to show for it crime and homelessness. Out of control.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

Control.

[Steve Hilton]

He's a total failure on every front. Earlier you said that you'll have Maga on the ballot in 2028. If he's the candidate, you'll have Mugger, the most useless governor in America. It's time for change in California.

[Grant Stinchfield]

There you go. It might have been 25 seconds, but you've got me through it. Here's what we're going to do. Steve Hilton for governor.com thank you Steve for coming on. Steve Hilton for governor.com Help him out. All right, it's time to celebrate the end of leftist alarminism over the climate. That's next.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Welcome back, everyone, on this New Year's Eve.

[Steve Hilton]

I'll tell you what.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know what I'm happy about? I'm happy the climate zealotry is, well, basically done. The zealots are still out there, they're still pushing, but boy, oh, boy, are they beaten down. Do you remember this? As we continue Looking back at 2025, this is President Trump with one of the biggest announcements of his presidency. Cut one. Thank you, sir. The next item here is the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Treaty. And a real signature. How about that? No auto pen. Yes. Out of the Paris Climate Accord. Why? Because it was crushing the American economy and not doing anything to improve conditions. When it comes to climate or warming or cooling or whatever actually exists, I'm not sure man is responsible for any of it. And that's my whole problem with all of this. One more clip, more you flashback to July when President Trump talked about getting rid of the electric vehicle mandate, stopping the EV mandate, which you know hurts Elon and you know it's too bad. But I told him long before he endorsed me, I said, you'll never be with me because I'm going to stop the mandate. Because the mandate said everybody has to have an electric car within a few years. And I said that's not going to happen because who wants. Not everybody wants an electric car. Do you want me to make an admission to you? My next guest is going to fall out of his chair when he hears this. You know what? I'm going to bring him on. I'm going to make the admission to him while he's on air. Our very, very dear friend, Climate Depot publisher Mark Morano is with us. Mark, welcome to the program. Happy New Year.

[Mark Morano]

Thank you, Grant. Happy New Year to you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, are you ready for my admission?

[Mark Morano]

Go ahead. I'm hanging on to my chair.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

Go ahead.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right. When I saw that Hummer was coming out with an Electric vehicle. I put up hundred bucks to be on the list to buy the Hummer. I didn't care that was electric. I just wanted the new Hummer because it looked pretty damn cool. Well, guess what? I got one. And I got $10,000 off of the price paid for by the federal government. My tax dollars off the price of that car. I got the greatest deal ever going on that car. Now here's the thing, Mark. It's the best car. They're not paying me to say this. It literally is the best car I have ever had the pickup on. It's insane. It's, it, it's comfortable. It rides like my living room couch. But here's the thing. I needed to drive to Waco, Texas from Dallas a couple weeks ago. I couldn't take the Hummer because I didn't know if I could get there and back. So my great car, I couldn't use it for everything. But I do own an electric car. And you know what? If the government was going to give me ten grand to buy it, I took it. And I still don't think it's a good idea the government was giving money away like that. That's my admission.

[Mark Morano]

Yeah, you just look at it as, you got a tax, you got a tax cut when you bought that car. So yeah, that's why, that's why they, Yeah, I can, that they serve what human interest? What they were trying to do is incentivize and that to an extent has always been done some kind of incentivize. But what took the EV out of the realm was when they started banning the competition. You know, it's kind of like when Muhammad Ali is fighting for the world championship. They don't ban George Foreman from entering the ring with them. That's what didn't make sense. And that was the whole weird thing about the ev. You can, people are used to tax incentives for various things, you know, tuition, tax credits, all sorts of things. But when you ban the opposition and just say you're not going to be able to make a gas powered car pass this year and that's it. Yeah, that was pretty frightening. And that's what, that's when they jump the shark, so to speak, with EVs.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, that's the difference between us and them and capitalism. See, that's not capitalism when you ban the competition. And the reality is I would have bought that car anyway with or without the $10,000. So really the government just wasted their money on me. I would have got it anyway. And I think you should Buy whatever car you want to buy. You want to buy a real car? Buy an electric car. You want to buy a real Question? Yeah.

[Mark Morano]

Ford is canceling their all electric F150. There have been other cancellations. Now the question is, EVs only got to 7% of US sales. Will they even, will they even go forward? I mean, ford's taken a $20 billion bath on all of their plans since Trump pulled out the rug from under all the EV and gas powered car bands and etc. So the question is, will people buy it? And we're only at 7% for all EV. Only at 7% and it's probably going to drop now with all the tax incentives gone and with all of the other regulatory and subsidies gone.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, look, as you can imagine, a giant Hummer like that, it takes a lot of electricity to charge it. My electric bill went up by quite a bit, about 100 bucks a month. And I don't drive very much, so I may be saving a little bit on gas. But you know what, you got to produce energy. How do you think you produce energy in Texas coal and natural gas plants? I mean, you know, what did you.

[Mark Morano]

Try a solar panel on the Humvee roof? Would that have done anything for you?

[Grant Stinchfield]

I didn't try that. All right, let me ask you this. The climate accord, the Paris climate accord and the United States getting out of this, you know, we talk about it, but why actually was this a big deal?

[Mark Morano]

It was a very big deal because this is the central. You know, there's two things. Domestically, it's the CO2 endangerment finding which is the underpinning of all these regulations, which is done by the epa, which Trump is now overturning. And the second thing is internationally was this UN Paris climate pact. It was 10 years ago last week that we signed on to that. President Obama went to Paris and got us into this whole mess and we were told we saved the world for our children and grandchildren. There are future generations will thank us. The the earth is smiling. And then a year later we were told we had to save the earth all over again. There was no end to it. And this brought in all of the regulations which essentially helped the power China, all the EV batteries, half a million pounds of material have to be dug up to make one Tesla sized thousand pound battery. Then you have the solar and wind which all benefits China and all the investment going into China. And of course we shut down our own mining because, oh, it wasn't environmentally friendly. So we'll just offshore it all and have it come back with lower human rights standards, lower, lower environmental standards. So this UN Paris Agreement was the mother load. And so when Trump pulled out, he did several things. He signaled to the world he's not going to be interested. And this then gave cover for all these European nations. We went into this cop 30, which I went down to in Brazil back in November, and they had about 80 countries didn't even bother to submit their Paris climate agreement. So by pulling the US out, Trump helped destroy the entire foundation of that whole treaty. And right now we are looking at 2025 heralding the entire collapse much worse than anything Trump did. Much more, I should say, than anything Trump did in his first term. We have the collapse of the solar and wind subsidies, the collapse of the whole net zero agenda with the rise of AI data centers. Everyone, even Larry Fink of BlackRock, who's now the co chair of the World Economic Forum replacing Klaus Schwab, has now publicly said solar and wind can't power the economy. When we need, you know, AI power demands, we need fossil fuels. So it's turning even hardcore activists against the climate agenda. Bill Gates has turned against it to 20, 20, 25 has been the year that climate hoax is dying.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, it is a celebration, that's for sure. You know, as you spell all that out to me, as you know, the conservative talk show host, I'm not in all the science of this climate stuff. I think about the Constitution, I think about American sovereignty, and I don't like other nations telling us how we run our business here in the United States. And I love this moment when President Trump went to the UN and he basically told them that, listen, global warming will kill the world. But then it started getting cooler. So now they could just call it climate change because that way they can't miss. It's climate change because if it goes higher or lower, whatever the hell happens, there's climate change. It's the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion.

[Mark Morano]

I gotta do it again.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I'll let you go.

[Mark Morano]

Sorry about that.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I was waiting for it. Look, have you ever thought you'd see in your lifetime an American president speak like that about climate change at the United nations of all places?

[Mark Morano]

No, never. And I think he's scheduled to go to the World Economic Forum in Davos in January to do the same thing. It was amazing. And here's why it's so important. It's not just a speech. He is going into the belly of the beast. The General assembly of the United nations in New York. And he's shifting the narrative. He's telling them that not only are they wrong, they've been wrong for decades. The whole thing's a hoax. And he's giving permission for everyone around the world. And we're seeing it now. The hundreds of almost 100 congressmen now are openly skeptical. And U.S. congress, senators, CEOs, we have Bill Gates coming out saying climate is not an emergency, climate is not a catastrophe. We need to worry about human flourishing. I mean, Bill Gates sounds like Donald Trump. Now. When you flip the narrative and you change the script, you can change history. And that's exactly what Donald Trump is doing in 2025 and going into 2026.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That's why we celebrate it one more time for us. Give us the horn, Mark, please.

[Mark Morano]

This is Happy New Year 2026. We got to get out of this permanently. This is what it's about. The climate hoax died in 2025.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Mark Morano, you're the best. We appreciate your friendship and thank you for coming on the program.

[Mark Morano]

Thank you, Grant. Appreciate it.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Absolutely. So check out his website, Climate Depot. Absolutely. Great stuff, especially when you're looking at this. You know you're arguing with liberals. Mark Morano's got all the arguments to fight back against them. All right, folks, up next. We are back with more Stitchfield on this very special evening.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And welcome back, everyone. So we have a very deep crisis in America. Not only do we have weak leadership coming from those on the left, blue cities, blue states around the country, but we have weak culture. Much of America has gone woke. We're raising our children to be weak pansies. Quite frankly, the idea of alpha man and toxic masculinity is now shunned by so many in our community. The problem is, all of this is ruining this nation. We have a mindset problem. So my goal is to change the mindset of as many people as I can. In fact, I created a course called the Maverick System to get you to have the mindset of a maverick. Once you do that, everything changes. So I thought my gift to you on this New Year's as we're heading into the New Year, would be to give you some tips, some ideas about how to change your mindset. So as you go into the New Year, you not only envision what you want, but you obtain what you want, you figure out how to get there, and most importantly, you be unapologetic and you be bold about it and never, ever quit. You know, this idea of not quitting, it sounds basic, but President Trump hammered it home. Never, ever quit. Never quit. And I've seen people quitting, and if they would have held out longer, they would have been successful. I've seen it so much. I've seen some of the most brilliant people in the world that never made it because they were quitters. They were just quitters. They would quit. They would. They just couldn't take it. They couldn't. Whatever. One of the things about loving what you do is that it's not work. And therefore, you don't quit automatically. It's a lot easier not to quit. So loving what you do is so important. My father told me that. He says, go love what you do. Find something you love what you do, and the money will follow. Now, I had a benefit a lot of kids growing up didn't have. My mother and father, even though they're wacky liberals, had the utmost faith in me. They had confidence in me ever since I was a kid. No matter what I did, they knew that I could succeed at it. They pushed me to succeed at it, and I'm forever grateful for them for that. They trusted me. Now, what I'm telling you is, if you didn't have parents like that, don't dwell on it. Don't go see us. Well, you can go see a psychologist, but. But don't be like, oh, my parents put me in a position where I can't succeed. No, you've got to start believing in yourself, and you've got to be able to strategize how to get what you want. Envision it, strategize it. And it doesn't always mean being the hardest worker. That's the biggest myth going. When it comes to mindset, you've got to be smart, you've got to be strategic. President Trump spelled that out as well, and he used an example about a cement wall. You should take this to heart. But you can never give up now. You have to also have flexibility, though. You can't necessarily say, I'm never giving up, I'm gonna. And you gotta be able to weave and bob. You don't have to go through a concrete wall when you can go over it or around it or under it or something. You have to have flexibility.

[Mark Morano]

You have.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Flexibility is everything. What are the best football coaches in America do? The game plan's not working. They switch up the game plan. You can just stick with your game plan when you're getting your ass beat over and over again. So I'm going to ask all of you out there, are you at a point where you feel overlooked in your job, where you feel passed by, where you see co workers or fellow business owners you like, they don't have what I have and they have success and I don't. Something's wrong here. I'm going to tell you. It's about how you frame your mind. So wouldn't it be great to reprogram your mind with an operating system that you can rely on? Then you start to build trust in yourself. That's what the maverick System is all about themavricsystem.com but my point isn't to get you to go to my website. My point is to get you to have unapologetic, bold confidence in yourself. And discipline isn't just making sure you do it every day. Discipline is about doing away with escape hatches. You want to go work out every day, then go work out every day. Don't make an excuse that, oh, well, I got to get on social media, even it's for my job, I got to do this, or, oh, I got to call so and so. No, if your goal is to work out every day, don't have the escape hatch. Ignore the escape hatch and get the task done. This woman. Talk about confidence, the willingness to try. And all you need is to know that if you try, you're not gonna die. You're just gonna learn something. And when you learn something, it removes a little bit of the insecurity so that it makes it slightly easier to try again. All right, so what she's getting at is a really nice way of saying you're fearful. So the problem with Americans today, they're afraid of everything. What did you see with COVID The mask situation. Half the country or more is walking around with a mask. Why? Because they're afraid. So elected leaders who are disingenuous about why they want office and why, really, all they want is power push that fear on you because they knew they could control you through fear. Now, how do you tell the difference between fear and intuition? And I'll use Covid as a great, great example. I first went out and bought those N95 masks because I'm hearing Covid is the worst. But then I started to critically think, and I got a drawer full of the N95s when you push the thing down on your nose. I didn't want my son to die of a deadly virus. But then I started to critically think. I'm looking at the paper. Everybody that's dying is fat. Do I really need to be fearful? I'm playing cards with a bunch of old men. We're not wearing masks. Nobody's getting sick. Do I really need to social distance myself? No. And once I started critically thinking, I realized this was my intuition. Intuition was telling me, you don't need to be fearful. I trust the intuition, and I push back on the fear. Both are data points. Assess the fear for what it is, and then decide whether this is intuition just telling you it's a bad idea, or is it that you're just scared. If you're just scared. I'll tell you this, everybody is. You got to get over it and you got to move forward. And fear is okay. It means you're human. It means you're concerned. It means you're passionate about what you're doing. But if fear freezes you, well, then that's no good. That's the absolute worst thing that can happen, is if fear freezes you. Now what about going out there and visualizing what you want? So part of my system, the Maverick system, is to teach you how to visualize, how to manifest. And it's not hokey pokey, okay? The Mavericksystem.com it's not hokey pokey. It's not voodoo. This is real. And Tony Robbins proved that. What you think what you want is what you will see and it is what you will get. And it works both ways. Listen to Tony Robbins.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

I'll give you a little test. Look around this room right now and notice everything you can see that's brown. Okay? Everything you can find Some test. Look all around, both sides you. Anything you see that's brown. People at home look at that. In your own room, what do you see is brown? Okay, close your eyes. Tell me everything you just saw that was red. Now obviously you saw a lot more brown, didn't you? Yeah. Why? Because you're looking for it. Open your eyes. Now look for red. Look for red anywhere you can find red. Any place you can find red.

[Steve Hilton]

Okay?

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

Okay. Did you find more red this time? How come?

[Grant Stinchfield]

Because I was looking for red.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

That's right. Once you develop a belief, you find what supports it. So watch this. You will find stuff that's not even there in order to be successful. I bet you saw some bait, called it brown just to feel successful. Did you? I bet you I saw some things. Burger and called him bread just so he could feel successful.

[Mark Morano]

Factored in some of those now and later.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

You see what I'm saying? If you think you're, you're screwed up, you're messed up. You're going to find and you're going to color yourself that way. Whether you think it's true, whether you think it's not, it's going to be true for you. In other words, whatever you believe is self evident. You reinforce what you believe. You found what you were looking for.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And that's the key. Don't we all just want to find what we're looking for? And if we do that, we push America in the right direction. If all of us are mentally tough, think about if we increase the number of mentally tough Americans. This country couldn't be beat and the left would never stand a chance. So themvericksystem.com themavricksystem.com check that out. I'm going to continue here with a little more mindset and I want to specifically play some clips and this is great as we head into the new year from Jim Valvano, one of the greatest basketball coaches ever. You remember, he suffered from cancer. I'm going to play you some clips that I think you can build on what he's saying. All right, that as Stinchfield continues.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Welcome back, everyone. You know, we talk a lot about the course of America and how we move it in the right direction. Certainly, elections have consequences. But, you know, the more I weigh this out, we're not going to fundamentally return America to its glory by just relying on President Trump or a bunch of Make America Great Again politicians, though certainly that would help. We've got to do it ourselves. So we need unapologetic, bold people. Not leaders, but people that are not afraid of the consequences, that are not afraid of what people think about them, that are willing to go to the mat for what they believe in. That, folks, is a dying breed. Now, if you want a key to how to get ahead in life, one. Smiling. Being kind. Being kind doesn't mean you be a wimp, though. And you can be. You can have someone not like what you're doing and still be kind about it. All right? But you also have to be ruthless. You've got to be a savage, you've got to be a beast. And you've got to focus in on what you want. And in many respects, if you do that, you will get there. Now, Jim Balvano, you remember, he died of cancer. Before his death, his last major speech was at the ESPN ESPY Awards. It was one of the greatest speeches, I believe, of all time. And he said some very important things. So on this New Year's Eve, I want to play for you, because here's a guy who's facing death in the eye, and he manages to not only keep a positive outlook on life, which is going to be very short for him, but he manages to accomplish unbelievable goals in the short time between. He gave this speech raising money for cancer, changing people's attitudes on life like you wouldn't believe. He changed the world in many respects, all while facing cancer.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

Just have to think about what's important in life is to think to me at three things. Where you started, where you are, and where you're going to be. Those are the three things that I try and do every day. You know, when I think about getting up and giving a speech, I can't help it. I have to remember the first speech I ever gave. I was coaching at Rutgers University. That was my first job. Oh, that's wonderful. And I was the freshman coach. That's when freshmen played on freshman teams. And I was so fired up about my first job. I see Lou Holtz, Coach Holtz here What was it like, the first job you had? Right. The very first time you stood in the locker room to give a pep talk. That's a special place, the locker room, for a coach to give a talk. So my idol as a coach was Vince Lombardi. And I read this book called Commitment to Excellence by Vince Lombardi. And in the book, Lombardi talked about the first time he spoke before his Green Bay Packer team. In the locker room, there were plenty of losers. And I'm reading this, and Lombardi said he was thinking, should it be a long talk, a short talk? But he wanted to be emotional. He said, be brief. And this is what he did. He normally, you get in a locker room, I don't know, 25 minutes, a half hour before the team takes the field, you do your little extra nose, and then you give the great Newt Rockety talk. We all do. Speech number 84. You pull him right out. You get ready, get your squad ready. This is the first one I ever gave. And I read this thing. Lombardi, what he said was, he didn't go in. He waited. His team was wondering, where is he? Where is this great coach? He's not there. 10 minutes, he's still not there. 3 minutes before they have to take the field, Lombardi comes in, bangs the door open. And I think you all remember what great presence he had, right? Great presence. And he walked in, and he just walked back and forth like this. Just walked, staring at the players. And he said, all eyes on me. I'm reading this in this book, and I'm getting a picture of Lombardi before his first game. And he said, gentlemen, we will be successful this year. You can focus on three things and three things only. Your family, your religion, and the Green Bay Packers. And he and the rest, they knocked the walls down. The rest was history. I said, that's beautiful. I'm gonna do that. Your family, your religion, and Rutgers basketball. That's it. I had it. Listen, I'm 21 years old. The kid.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So do you understand the moral of that story is that you focus on your family, your religion, and whatever it is your goal is at the time. For those college players at Rutgers, it's Rutgers. For the Green Bay packers, it's Green Bay packers for you. It may be your business, it may be the company you're working for. Heck, maybe you're an athlete. Maybe you want to be the best pickleball player you ever wanted to be, but you focus on those three things, and everybody goes crazy. But it's about leadership, and it's about thinking about where you're going. And I want to give you a gift here because when we talk about about manifestation. So as we head into the new year, this is your chance. Manifest what you want for 2026. Maybe it's a grand brand new America and President Trump successful, but maybe it's about you. Maybe you want to start a new business. Maybe you want to buy a business, Maybe you want a promotion. Maybe you want to go out there and start a new career. Whatever it is, focus in on it, start to manifest it. And if you don't believe it can happen, it takes one step. You got to take a little risk. But just one step can change everything. This gentleman went to a seminar with Grant Cardone. You know, Grant Cardone teaches about how to make money in real estate and all these things. I'm sure people paid a lot of money to go there. This guy was homeless. You want to talk about manifestation? Grant Cardone didn't do this for him. He did it for him. Before he ever got in the room, he said, I'm going to make money out of this seminar and watch what happens.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

I took out two loans to get here today.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I don't even have money for a hotel.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

Slept.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Give him a big hand, guys. Homeless dude, dude.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

I've slept in my car the past two nights, but I just wanted to show up. So my question is, how do you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

10X your mindset to like break through.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

That fear of just, like getting to the next point?

[Grant Stinchfield]

Your mind's not your problem, bro. Like, you're sleeping in a car. 99% of the people in this room, probably no one else in the room was willing to do that, including myself. You need to pick up a check. Like I would tell you before today is over, you should get somebody to give you 500 bucks. You don't need a job to do that. You need a target. It starts with the first 500 or 100 or 50, whatever the number is that you need to be like, I need to get somebody to give me something. You see what that's about? It's about taking the first step and going about and asking. And don't be weak minded and think, I can't ask for help. The most confident people in the world ask for help. And they don't care what people think about them for asking for help. They need the information to succeed. They're going to go get it. That's why you ask for help. And if somebody's going to look down at you because you asked them for help, well, that tells you a lot about that person. And in many respects, you gain valuable information from that. Anyway, screw that person. You got the information from them. Now go do something with it. But watch what happens to this guy. This is the Christmas New Year's miracle.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

It.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Okay.

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

Well, that worked.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So somebody asked, what? What do I do? Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Podcast Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Bro, bro.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Do not talk through the clothes. Car. He doesn't have to sleep in his car tonight. I don't know how much money they gave him. I bet he made over $1,000 there. Some of those were $100 bills. Did Grant Cardone set that up for him? In some respects, yes. But that guy set it up for himself by taking a loan to get in the room. You've got to be in the frame. You don't need to be the star, you don't need to be the leader. But where there's action, you be in the frame. My football coach always taught me this. He said, stinchfield, it's amazing. I watched it during basketball season last year. You're always in the frame. You weren't the star making the layup or the dunk or hitting the three pointer, but you're in the picture. You're around the ball. He says, and then we're playing football all fall. You're always around the ball. Sometimes you're in the paper making a tackle, but you're always in the frame. You're always around the action. He says, do me a favor, don't ever give that up. My buddy, Coach Capalo. I call my buddy my coach. I haven't spoke to him in decades. My coach, Coach Capalo said, do me a favor, don't ever give that up. Always be in the frame. Look what I do. I'm in the frame now, coach. No, I try to be around the action. I try to envision what I want, and I've had success out of it. So in many respects, this course that I built, themvericksystem.com the mavericksystem.com it's my way of giving back. And part of this course really relies that if you want to have success, you've got to give back, too. You've got to help other people. Because what comes around goes around in a very, very big way. All right, coming up next, next, Nancy Pelosi with a total shocker. Wait till you see this.

All right, welcome back. It's a New Year's Eve miracle. I need you to see this soundbite from Nancy Pelosi. She's given President Trump a pass. Well, of course she is, because President Trump hasn't done anything wrong. But what's amazing about this is Nancy Pelosi admits President Trump has not done anything wrong. Now, she doesn't go so far as saying he's making America great again and doing everything right, which you and I know he is. But this, folks, I don't know. This is pretty stunning.

[Mark Morano]

Just to make sure I understand you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

This should not be the agenda of.

[Mark Morano]

Democrats for this year.

[Grant Stinchfield]

If he crosses the Border she's talking about should they impeach President Trump. And they said this should not be the agenda question. But that's not an incidental thing. You say we're going to do that. No, there has to be cause. There has to be reason. We had review. This was a very serious, historic thing. And our founders knew that there could be a rogue president and that's why they put impeachment in the Constitution. They didn't know there'd be a rogue president at the same time, a rogue Senate that didn't have the courage to do the right thing. That was bipartisan in the Senate, but it wasn't enough. She just admitted there has to be cause. Now there wasn't cause the last time around they impeach President Trump over the way he butter his toast the last time around. And now she says there's gotta be cause. Well, I'm glad to see that. The key is, and this is the New Year's miracle, is that she knows the American people don't want anybody going anywhere near President Trump, not criminally not impeach him in the halls of the United States Senate. This is disastrous for the Democrats. They realize that. So Nancy Pelosi, maybe this is a sign they stay away from that for the next three years. I'd be hard pressed to believe it. If they get control of Congress and the Senate, here come the impeachments again. But Nancy Pelosi said it will hold her true to her words. Weren't we? Weren't we?

[Jim Valvano (voice clips) / Motivational Speaker]

Weren't we?

[Grant Stinchfield]

Won't we? Yes. All right. I hate to end it on a flub heading into a new year because the new year is going to be great. No flubs allowed in 2026. All right. Hey, Stitchfield's army rolls because of you and we're gonna roll right on into 26. I hope you have a fabulous New Year's Eve. I'm so grateful you could spend a little bit of it with us tonight and then we'll see you back here tomorrow on New Year's Day 2026. Wow. Stint Shields army rolls we.
