[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, good evening everyone. A big update to a story that we talked a lot about on this program, and that is the D.C. pipe bomber. Remember back in 2020, they posted a pipe bomb outside of both the DNC and the RNC headquarters. You see video there on your screen of the alleged pipe bomber walking up to the park bench. Everybody wanted to know who that pipe bomber was, who was behind it. Well, the FBI says they got their man. According to multiple news outlets, including Fox News, the pipe bomber's name, the accused pipe bomber is Brian Cole. So the doj, the FBI, and the US Attorney's office all hold a joint news conference today. Now, as you know, I'm friends with Cash Patel and I'm friends with Dan Bongino, so I am always hesitant to criticize my friends. But they missed the boat on this news conference because those two men know more than anybody else does. We don't necessarily care about the actual pipe bomber. We want to know who was behind it. We want to know the motive. Sure, we want him held accountable, but the story's far bigger than that. At least that's what I suspect. We didn't get any answers today except that someone has been arrested. And listen to this from Pam Bondi.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

Let me be clear. There was no new tip. There was no new witness. Just good diligent police work and prosecutorial work, working as a team along with atf, Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police Department, and of course, the FBI.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so what this news conference was all about was a bunch of attaboys and pat on the backs. Now, my son will tell you I don't reward expected behavior. I expected the FBI to solve this case a long time ago. She just told us something there that's very important. No new information was coming into the FBI, no new witnesses. Everything was right there in front of them. So why did they not solve this before Dan Bongino and Cash Patel got on the case? Well, I'll give an atta boy to Cash and Dan. They fired the team that was on the case, and they put a new team on the case. And they quickly sprung into action arresting this individual. Now, what was going on with the old team? Was it a cover up? Because I don't trust government anymore. This is my. I don't think it's a problem. I think it's a reality that we are in a spot where we can't trust government anymore. So why could the FBI not solve it before? Was it ineptitude? Then I want to know who in the FBI was adept or was it purposeful? Was there a cover up in all of this? This is Cash Patel.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

And today I'm proud to stand here before you and say we solved it. He will have his day in court. The American public and the world will learn even more information through the legal process. As we have committed under this Attorney General, we are the most transparent law enforcement operation in US History.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So here's the thing. I believe Cash and Dan's hands are tied. Now, Cash Patel and I have talked about the pipe bomber before. Last I remember, both Dan and Cash believe there was a strong possibility could be an inside job. This wasn't even mentioned. You've got to call out the elephant in the room. Even if you can't give us details because search warrants are still going down, you've got to address it of what was going on behind the scenes. So here are some facts in the case that I want you to understand.

There was video of agents after the pipe bomb was discovered that shows no real sense of urgency. Okay, and this is after. That's good video. Go ahead and throw it up there, guys. So there was no sense of urgency here. The woman who discovered the pipe bomb had ties to law enforcement. She gives an absolutely perfect description of the suspect in a law enforcement manner. Nothing is done with this. She's connected law enforcement raising suspicions. Then there's other video out there that many are claiming that shows the suspect waving to law enforcement. Why would that happen? And maybe the worst part is some of this surveillance video that you're looking at here. When it first was released, it was edited and in many respects, even doctored. Now, if you've got edited and doctored footage coming out of the FBI, why would they do that? What was behind the pipe bomb? What was the purpose of it? And remember, Kamala Harris was not far away. Now, here's what's amazing in all of this. I was watching Fox News coverage of this, and they did not once mention the possible aspect that this was an inside job. Again, the mainstream corporate media protects the Biden administration. And I don't know why it wasn't addressed in this news conference. So the question then becomes, who is this suspect? Because nobody can figure out who this guy is. We have a name, but no one has been very successful of finding social media profiles or who he is and why did he do it? Well, Pam Bondi was asked about that today.

[John Solomon]

What can you tell us about this.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

Person'S motivations and whether they were driven by politics or any other for any other reason?

[Grant Stinchfield]

Why?

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

Right now it's ongoing. Again, we just executed the search warrant early, early this morning. It's ongoing, but America's safer. D.C. is safer because he's in custody.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So again, she dodges the total idea of a motive. It's the number one thing we need to. Need to hear about now.

That just isn't good enough for me. So it was always clear to me because she's talking about the safety of the DC public and this wild pipe bomber on the loose. I actually never bought into that scenario. I don't know if this pipe bomber was dangerous to others or not, but it doesn't appear he placed any other pipe bombs before then. And I never was under the assumption that, that there was a deranged pipe bomber on the loose that was going to blow up another alleyway or sidewalk someplace. I never thought that because I always considered this to be an inside job. So she makes it out to be as if we got the worst guy ever off the streets. And maybe we did. But again.

Who was he? Where was he from? And then I guess I can say she dropped the bombshell on us. Did she even realize that this was never discussed by anyone officially of what she's about to say? And she glosses over it.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

This is ongoing, very active, but America should feel safer.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Today.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

We say a pipe bomb. These are bombs. These were live, active bombs that were placed in Washington, D.C.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Live, active bombs. Well, lo and behold, that's the first I've heard of this five years later. Now, we've had some of the top independent investigators on this program that could never confirm to us whether they were real bombs or not, or whether they were fakes placed there. She glossed over it. These were bombs. And they spent countless hours trying to figure out who made the bombs, how they were made. In fact, I've got a sound bite from Jeanine Pirro. If you could pull that up, guys, and talk about the caps here. This is Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney talk about how much work went in to this investigation.

[Kerrygold Butter Announcer]

There were 233,000 black end caps of the type that were used in this case. I want you to think about the fact that the FBI had to go through the sale of every one of them to try to find commonality with an individual along with the purchase of the pipe itself, the cap ends, the wires, the steel and and the 9 volt batteries.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So here's the reality. All of that sounds great and I believe her. Judge Jeanine and Pam Bondi, they all have a very special place in my heart because they are trying to make America great again. But we had no idea these were real bombs. And so I don't know if Pam Bondi was just flying by the seat of her pants expecting they were real bombs and not being ingrained in the case. If they were. This is all a big surprise to me. Now why would the FBI not be able to find this guy before Cash and Dan come onto the scene? Maybe they didn't want to find him. Maybe it was a cover up. Maybe it was the FBI itself that planted the bombs. But Julie Kelly who was on with War Room and my buddy Steve Bannon this morning summed it up like this in her opinion. Well certainly that is going to be the suspicion is that the Ray FBI.

[Kerrygold Butter Announcer]

Quickly found out that this individual seen.

[Grant Stinchfield]

On the evening of January 5th was.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

Not a MAGA supporter, was tied to.

[Grant Stinchfield]

A leftist movement such as Antifa.

Okay, so was it a leftist supporter? Maybe. That certainly could have been the case and they wanted to cover for him. Certainly would fall right into the MO of this FBI, the Biden administration, the administration of the auto pen. That would make sense. Now let's flashback to Christopher Wray. This is 2023 being asked about the case. He was the director of the FBI then and this is his answer.

[Colgate Total Announcer]

We've increased the reward money.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

We've got our lab working on it. We've got our WMD directorate working on it.

[Grant Stinchfield]

We've got our Office of Technology division, our cellular analysis team. So the folks that we have working on this investigation are working very aggressively on it. And I as much as anybody would like to see it solved.

Do you believe him? I don't. I don't believe anything out of his mouth. And just like James Comey, I believe Christopher Wray needs to be investigated as well. Now if you want to hear the Democrats response to this. These people are so delusional they think you will believe anything. Okay. We're spending a lot of time on this story because no other media outlet, at least outside of conservative media, will. So we do. This is Senator Mark Warner.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

When in some field offices, up to 45% of the FBI officers who are doing things like counter espionage and cyber have been assigned to do immigration cases. It's. It's a little rich that they're saying they're American. American. Safer.

[Grant Stinchfield]

How much earlier could we have caught.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

This guy if resources hadn't been diverted?

[Grant Stinchfield]

So if resources haven't been diverted, what in the world do you think they were doing when they were going after J6ers? That's when the resources were diverted. The worst terrorists in American history were grandmothers and grandfathers who took an unorganized tour around the Capitol. So the reason why this story is so important is because I don't buy any of it, folks. None of it. We now know that there were hundreds of undercover agents, federal agents, in the crowd when we were told there were none or they couldn't tell us how many. Every time we get another step forward in this investigation, more information comes out to me that this was really a total setup job going in six ways to Sunday. I want to bring in now, I believe he is ready, a good friend of mine, John Solomon, who has also been one of the few that have covered this case outside the mainstream media, won't cover this case. John, you guys have over at Just the News, what do you make of today?

[John Solomon]

Well, listen, it shows you that elections have consequences, that leadership changes have consequences. The same evidence that Chris Wray's FBI had for four and a half years, or four years was taken by a new team appointed by Dan Bongino and Casp Patel. And they solved the case in a few short weeks after they switched out the personnel. Fresh eyes, same evidence, fresh approach, a commitment to solve the case, and boom, in a few short weeks, they do it. How do they do it? They do it by tracking a license plate through the tunnel into the area where the.

Bombs are planted, then looking for someone's phone that matches that license plate, and you see them going along the same track as the bomber. And then you start to look at that man's credit card receipts and you realize he's been buying pipe bomb materials. And before you know it, you got your suspect.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Amazing.

[John Solomon]

Now, we had Cash Patel on just a few minutes ago, just on our show. Three headlines I want to share with you, Grant. The first is Brian Cole's family is going to be brought before the grand jury tomorrow. So very fast moving evidence gathering activity. That's what the director said. The second thing that he said is that given that Brian Cole was buying pipe bomb making materials from 2019 to early 2021, the FBI is looking to see if he was planning, had other targets or other attacks that he either was involved in or was planning on being involved in. I think that's a really important headline that we got out of it. And then the third thing is that no stone will be left unturned until we find out if there's any conspirators, anyone else involved. The early evidence I'm hearing from the FBI is that there's no clear evidence of a contributor that Brian Cole was sort of a to himself sort of person, sort of antisocial. But how did he learn to make those bombs? That's going to be a big question. Did someone help make those bombs, John? Did someone radicalize them and plant the idea? And was he involved in other bomb planting activities or bomb planning activities? That's something that the director told us just a short while ago. He's going to dig into.

[Grant Stinchfield]

John, let me run some of this by you because to me, I was very disappointed with the, with the news conference today. The reason being is both Cash and I have had long conversations about the motives or unknown motives of the pipe bomber. It wasn't even addressed. Both Dan Bongino and Cash know, and these are friends of mine, and I don't mean to criticize them because I actually believe, and I want everyone out there to understand this. I believe in many respects, when you go to work for an administration, you don't get to say your absolute belief always. And that's just part of working inside an administration. So I think in some respects they're handcuffed. There was no talk of it. There wasn't even a mention of it. Everyone that watches this program, most people that watch every program, Real America's Voice, have real questions surrounding J6. If it wasn't solved before following a license plate, I mean, that seems like pretty basic work. You got to watch a lot of cars and you need someone to be on the, on the, on their, on their game. But you would think that could have happened. So was there a cover up in the FBI? That was an answer to me. There's a whole bunch of unanswered questions.

[John Solomon]

Okay, he answered it. Grant, we asked that question first off, we asked about the bomber. Do you know his motive yet? And he said, we don't. We're working on a motive for the bomber. We're really just getting to know this guy. And it's going to take us a couple days, but we'll get to the bottom of that as to why the case wasn't solved for four years and it can be quickly solved with the evidence at hand when a new team comes in. He said it was either gross negligence or intentional malfeasance, meaning the FBI didn't want to solve this case. It didn't fit their narrative for January 6th. He said we'll find out more about that as we dig into the review of this case. So they're going to review how this case was conducted prior to the FBI. I think that's an important act of transparency from the FBI. But we asked those two questions. He was very candid tonight about both of them.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so this is very, very important because so Cash Patel, the director of the FBI, says what I said at the beginning of the show. Either they're totally inept and then I really would like to know who was on the team that's in apt. Right. Because they shouldn't be in the FB FBI anymore or it was a cover up or a stonewall or something like that. Now then you've got to ask why would they stonewall this? He put pipe bombs in front of the DNC and the rnc. So you can't instantly go that this is a left winger or a right winger. The only reason you'd want to cover it up in my mind is if you had something to do with it at this point.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. Listen, there's many other things to think about here. Let's suppose you realize that this pipe bomber was bipartisan in his target. It doesn't fit the January 6th narrative that Donald Trump's to blame for everything. So you let this languish because it's complicating to a clean storyline that official Washington and the Democrats want. I think that's a more likely possibility right now. The early evidence that the FBI has found around this guy doesn't suggest that he was working with anyone in the intelligence or other community. Now that could change. They only know this guy for a few days. Since they've isolated him, they're going to get. This guy's life is going to be turned upside down. The director said we're doing a whole behavioral analysis on him. We're going to learn a lot about that. We're going to do a whole relationship analysis. Who was he talking to? Who gave him his money? Who was radicalizing him? If they did, who planted the idea? They're going to get to all those issues. So it's early to know what the reason for a cover up is, but it's very possible that, as you saw all through Russia, collusion, when the evidence was screaming, there is no conspiracy. Donald Trump is not in bed with Vladimir Putin. By the way, Vladimir Putin didn't even try to influence the last month of the election. He ended his countermeasures that the FBI was so obsessed in finding that they were going to get Donald Trump, they stuck to the narrative and they didn't view the evidence. It is very possible in this case, from the people I've talked to, that what went on here is they didn't want to wreck a narrative. Their bosses didn't want to wreck a narrative. So this kid didn't fit the narrative. So we're just gonna, we're gonna shop it off and hope nobody notices.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That would make a lot of sense, too. As always, great work on getting cash on tonight. And buddy, I know you jumped in this chair.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

We.

[Grant Stinchfield]

We had another guest. I want everyone at home to know. I usually don't tell people when something goes a little amiss.

[John Solomon]

We love you. I'll come on your show anytime.

[Grant Stinchfield]

It's like the bat signal. We threw it up and you were there in two seconds. And so a huge thank you, my friend. Thank you. Absolutely. All right, folks, I want to talk a little bit and we'll keep following that because I still have a lot of questions. And you know where you follow just the news. Because if anyone's going to nail it down, I promise you, John will. All right, I want to turn now to.

A problem again with trust in government. I don't know if you heard about this issue with Speaker Mike Johnson and Elise Stefanik, who wanted a provision included in the National Defense Authorization act that would close a loophole that allowed the FBI, CIA, etcetera, to spy on sitting members of Congress, senators and congressmen without notifying them. This loophole needs to be closed. Okay, so for some reason, this doesn't make it into the bill. This is Elise Stefanik, cut 12. Talk about why it needs to be there.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

The issue is this.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

When James Comey, former FBI Director, testified.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

In an open hearing in Congress in 2017 about opening CROSSFIRE Hurricane, he did not follow proper protocol and chose illegally.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Not to notify Congress. This bill closes that loophole.

So it closed the loophole. Now, what was the excuse for Speaker Johnson listen to this. Well, all of that is false. I. I don't exactly know why Elise won't just call me. I texted her yesterday. I mean, she's Upset one of her provisions is not being made, I think into the ndaa. I explained to her on a text message as soon as I heard this yesterday, I was campaigning in Tennessee and I wrote her and said, what are you talking about? So he claims he didn't know about it. And then it was on the that the heads of the committees had to get together and they didn't do it. But lo and behold, after this starts to make move, make news and take off amongst conservative circles, well, I guess the speaker relented. I'm grateful to him for doing that. And I'll take him at his word that he wasn't sure. Maybe this was people underneath him. It's in the bill now, the Defense Authorization Act. Here's Stefanik again, Mike Johnson, who I know very well and I've worked with very well in the past.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

My advice to him was we gotta.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

Listen to more members and address these member concerns.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And I think we will.

[TJ Maxx Announcer]

And he has plans to do that.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right? So all is well that ends well. But you see what you have to do, you gotta go get your story out in front of the media. And then guess what, guys like me, and I'm talking conservative media here, then we put the screws to leadership and they relent and, and we make the country a better place. Real quick, folks. Venezuela. There was a hearing today about these drug boats, the double taps, meaning they strike a boat and then go back and restrike the boat. Democrats were outraged that survivors were killed. Well, what they didn't tell you was Barack Obama, Afghanistan, other countries had dozens of double tap strikes where they went back and finished the job. That's what this was about. And even the New York Times, amazingly enough, cleared Pete Hegseth saying he did not order survivors to be killed only to make sure that the job was finished. This is Tom Cotton. Flip a boat loaded with drugs down for the United States back over so they could stay in the front, fight. And potentially given all the context, we heard of other narco terrorist boats in.

[Colgate Total Announcer]

The area coming to their aid to.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Recover their cargo and recover those narco terrorists.

[Colgate Total Announcer]

And just like you would blow up a boat off of the Somali coast.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Or the Yemeni coast and you'd come back and strike it again. If it still had terrorists and it still had explosives or missiles, Admiral Bradley.

[Colgate Total Announcer]

And Secretary Hebcev did exactly what we would expect.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right? And Tom Cotton saw all of the video, so rest easy on that front. All right, folks, listen up.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Welcome back, everyone. I don't know what it is about Great Britain, but this country has gone off the deep end. And I think we need to look at this country as an example of what can happen to the United States. States free speech is gone. They're literally arresting people with signs on their trucks because they don't like what the signs say. I mean, free speech is dead in Great Britain. Now they want to end jury trials. So apparently if you're convicted of something or accused of stealing something less than 3,500 bucks, well, you're not going to get a jury trial. You're going to get a judge only. I don't want that with some of the judges we have in America. Listen to this first. I will create new swift courts within the Crown Court with a judge alone deciding verdicts in tribal either way cases with a likely sentence of three years or less, as Sir Bryan recommends. Sir Bryan estimates that they will deliver justice at least 20% faster than jury trials.

So it's about money. Is it about speed? Or is this about giving government totally control over the citizens? Because I would rather be judged by a jury of my peers like we do it in America. Now, then there's the story of this poor British man. He takes a picture of himself in Florida with a gun. There he is. I mean, does that look like a real threatening guy? Not really. Quite frankly, to tell you the truth, not threatening at all. In fact, they arrest him when he gets back to Britain for simply taking the picture and posting it on social media. Here he is on Fox.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

The same police officer turned up with a little friend at half past ten.

[Grant Stinchfield]

At Night, forced his way into my.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

Property and arrested me for stalking and.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Possession of a firearm.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

Based on the LinkedIn post and the header photo of my LinkedIn at the time.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Possessional firearm in the United States. You're not in Britain. It's crazy. And then I saw this story on the front page of Breitbart, one of my favorite outlets. I read every day. Literally, this goes straight to the top, the highest levels of the British government. We're going after Breitbart. You've got this. Morgan McSween, one of Keir Starmer's top deputies. They call it the Starmer machine. Out to destroy new media. Well, Breitbart was on a list of a whole bunch of other new media. Go figure. Conservative media that they wanted to demonetize and delegitimize. What does all this mean? How do they find out about it? Let's bring on now the host of the Alex Marlowe show. And of course, he is the editor in chief for Breitbart. He's also our friend. Alex Marlowe is here. Alex, welcome to the program.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

Thanks, Grant. Always happy to be with you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so I'm so used to this, like, you know, Facebook doing this to to us or YouTube. But the British government now going after Breitbart, Why?

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

Yeah, here's what you need to know. Morgan McSweeney, which is the name you brought up, he was the one who was the architect of this.

[Grant Stinchfield]

He.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

He's the single most powerful, unelected person in the UK at the moment. He is the top deputy of Keir Starmer, who is the Prime Minister of the uk. Now, all of this originated long before Starmer was the Prime Minister. But here's where it comes from, actually. Starmer was trying to use the government in ways to silence his main political opposition from the left. Jeremy Corbyn, who's a far left guy, he's sort of populist, but I don't dig his views on Israel and I don't dig his views on big government in general. So not a great guy. But he was trying to take out outlets that were pro. The pro Jeremy Corbyn. He said, well, while we're at it, let's take out all these conservative outlets as well. And they really focused on American outlets. Breitbart, of course, was the top of the list. We're number one, as we always have been for the last decade. When it comes to censorship, we're always the first people they try to censor. But also the Federalist Zero Hedge, a Couple of others that might be familiar to your audience. And so Trump is out of power at this point. He can't do anything. There's no one in Trump's government who can say anything that really matters. And so this goes Biden's president. So this goes on. And so now we know all about it thanks to the research of this investigator named Paul Holden, who's got a book coming out called the Fraud. He's South African guy and reporting a drop site news which Ryan Grimm was a reporter on this, who broke all this. And he's not someone I agree with on everything, but it was really quality reporting where they go through exactly how this guy McSweeney was orchestrating a massive anti speech campaign to silence American outlets in the uk. There's a total outrage and I think it legitimately compromises some of our partnership over the years with the uk.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So I get why the left wants you real America's voice, me, all of our friends silenced here because the truth is dangerous to them. I get that it's dangerous to leftists in, in Britain too. But I didn't know they were so concerned about American media. Or was this an effort to try to help Joe Biden as well and the Democrats with the next election? Did that play any role in all of this?

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

Yeah, all of that. And also we have a UK bureau that's powerful. Breitbart London was instrumental to Brexit. Nigel Farage has given us credit saying Brexit wouldn't have happened if not for Breitbart London. So our UK bureau is very powerful, but it's all very factual and accurate. And all these people are, they're so powerful. They should be able to take it. They should be able to take some accurate reporting from a handful of journalists who work for an American outlet in the UK this should not be intimidating for any country that believes in itself and is strong. But obviously the UK has gotten incredibly weak. They've never had freedom of speech. But it's important to know this in the context of our partnership is they should not feel like they should be censoring American outlets. It is just bad form and it is incredibly off putting and Trump's government should really stand up to them on this.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah. Have you gotten any response from those inside the Trump administration? Because you're right, you know, we constantly call Great Britain is one of our greatest allies lies. I'm not so sure that's the case anymore. But we often say that. And yet they're literally trying to debilitate private Enterprise. And that's what Breitbart is, it's a private enterprise. Yes, it's journalistic, but you're your private company. You got a lot of people trying to make a living off there. You put food in people's mouths that work for you. Trying to destroy an American business.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

That's a fantastic point. And it's really important that they don't want my children to eat like that's how they treat it because they find my politics so abhorrent that they want to just crush our business, which is very unfair. And it's just something that the left has always done this Grant. Cuz you know this as well as anyone. They've got an authoritarian streak. Anytime the left is in power, they always think, well, can we censor more? Can we get away with it? Can we jail more people? Can we use violence to get our way? They love doing that, particularly when the target is conservative. So I'm not surprised at all. This is just the latest in a huge rash of these types of stories that I've been reading about Breitbart, about ourselves for the last 10 years. But we have, we can do, do something about it. I expect to hear from Nigel Farage, I expect to hear from Jim Jordan and some House Republicans and I hope to hear from the Trump administration as well that they're trying to put pressure on the UK to knock this off and frankly try to make things right with us.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, I hope they do. Last question for you. And I think I know the answer to it. Did they ever give you an example of a story that was just so outrageously wrong or false?

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

No, of course, that's such a great question. Of course, of course. Now that they never cite anything that we got wrong. It's only they, they don't get mad at us because we get stuff wrong. They're mad at us because we get stuff right.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah. Isn't that the truth? Alex Marlowe, great work over at Breitbart. And you can see it here, not censored yet. Well, it probably is. Many outlets that they will tell you by big tech.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

All the time I've been ranting about Wikipedia, YouTube. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's constant, it's non stop.

[Grant Stinchfield]

But it shouldn't be.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

We shouldn't have allies around the world who are censoring powerful American outlets. It's just completely uncouth.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, go to your duck, duck. Go and type in breitbart.com and that's where you can find Alex and the team. Alex, thank you, as always. Thanks, Grant. Absolutely. Thank you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Welcome back everyone. You know I like talking sports a little bit on this program every now and then, but this is basically transcending sports college football playoffs. Who doesn't love college football? The only problem is how you get into the playoff system. To me it appears to be rigged. There's like no rhyme or reason. It's a selection committee and some people are left out. It appears to me the SEC, with all the Alabamas of the world and LSU's get favoritism through all of this. This is Joel Clad, he's a Fox Sports analyst. Listen. Cut, cut one. The problem is obviously the format. Obviously, right.

[John Solomon]

Because we're trying to have this selection.

[Colgate Total Announcer]

Based playoff and it doesn't matter if you have computers do it or people do it. Like it's subjective and there's no way.

[John Solomon]

That you can rank the criteria or.

[Colgate Total Announcer]

At least they don't rank the criteria.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And tell us which one is going to take precedent over the other.

All right, so that's a problem, right? When it becomes judgmental about it instead of just flat out who should go in, which is why a school like Vanderbilt, which I can't even believe Vanderbilt is in contention, but I believe they've only lost two games and they won some really, really big ones. Well, the quarterback for Vanderbilt, Diego Pavia, is asking President Trump to step in. Take a look at this tweet. It says make the executive order, please. But what is below that tweet is a retweet of saying move the playoff system to 16 teams. And you, you know, you, you'd, you'd eliminate a lot of the problems here. Well, I want to bring in now Rob's Rav's Washington D.C. correspondent. She is a former NFL reporter. Besides calling her a congressional correspondent, we call her our sports chick. Brit McKinley is here.

[Hinge Announcer]

I like that title. I like it a lot.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So as the resident Stitchfield sports chick, Brit.

Is this ever going to change? This is a real issue and it's getting a lot of play.

[Hinge Announcer]

It is going to change. I would bet the house on it. And you know why? Because estimates of it going from a 12 to 16 seat field are 1.9 billion over an extension of a contract. Right. That's how big these media rights deals are. Just to get into the playoff, the final spots, if you will, in each school is awarded $4 million and then it keeps on going, Grant. So if you win the national championship, you're awarded a $20 million check just for all of that. There's so much money passing hands. But I have to agree with Joel Klatt and Diego in this, it's like, so they have two losses, just two. But what about Notre Dame? What's the justification there? I think that's been the chatter as well in sports Talk circles. So their losses weren't as bad. You know what my opinion is? No offense to the Fighting Irish. It is because they have so many fans. It is such a storied program. They are going to get favor over. Let's say, if you want to go all the way back to when the college playoff started in 2017, UCF, an hour away from my hometown, was 13. Oh, didn't win, did not lose one singular game. And they were not admitted to the playoff format at that time. So they joked that they were national champions, made T shirts out of it. But it's a lot of money, so I do think it will expand. But as it is now, I'm sorry. I think programs that have some fame like Notre Dame or the big juggernauts in the sec, whether or not they deserve it, are going to get preferential treatment. And think about this. What if Alabama loses to Georgia in the conference title? So that's three losses and they. They're still in it. I understand the frustration.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah. Look, when you think about this and you look at how subjective it is, it just doesn't seem fair to teams like Vanderbilt, Miami. There's a situation with Miami too, right?

[Hinge Announcer]

Huge situation. Yeah. They're on the outside looking in.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And do they deserve to be there?

[Hinge Announcer]

I think they are. When I watched them play and beat fsu, I said to myself, this is the national championship winner for sure. And they have all the, the pieces. You know, they sold an arm and a leg to get their quarterback to trade him in from Georgia. So. And they're looking mostly at Notre Dame. Like, wait, look at our program and the wins, the types of wins that we've had. We should be ahead of Notre Dame at 10. We should not be at 12 or further behind. And I think it's great. You know, I'll say this. President Trump is the one president. If someone doesn't like him, if they love him, he is the president that people feel they can relate to, that players can tweet him. And you know what? At two o' clock in the morning, he might respond to this tweet. I think he puts sports in the forefront like no other president has in this country.

[Grant Stinchfield]

He really does. Now, I don't think he has power through executive order to make this happen, but here he's what. Here's what he does have. He has the power to call up the commissioners of all of these, of all of these, you know, the SEC and the Big Ten and get everybody in a room together. And he has the power to make Change. Even Marco Rubio. Now Marco Rubio is from Florida, right? So he likes Miami. Listen to him in the cabinet meeting the other day. That show you how big this is. This is the most wonderful, magical time of the year. By that, of course, I'm referring to the college football playoffs. And I just want to say this as a point of personal privilege and I'm a Florida Gator. But if the University of Miami gets screwed out of the college football playoffs after going to MTNB in Notre Dame, the whole thing should be scrapped and you're going to have to take over next year.

So there you go.

[Hinge Announcer]

I love, love that.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I'll give you the last word here. Final thought.

[Hinge Announcer]

Well, you know, Marco Rubio's son is a walk on running back at Florida. So that was cool last season to be watching the game be like, wait, Rubio continues on his legacy both on the field and in politics. I do think they more people should weigh in, they should voice their concerns because it shouldn't be. It's not completely arbitrary, but it feels like this decision making board is a bit arbitrary. It's a bit. Let me rub the backs of, you know, who's, who's going to get maybe the better ratings for ESPN and who's who, who's been in it more in the past. That shouldn't matter. It should be about these student athletes, these kids right now and who deserves to get in. Miami deserves to get in. And I'm going in on Notre Dame. I'm sorry if you're a fan watching, but I just think those questions are very valid and I like that players feel the comfort and bravery to tweet the president about it because why not?

[Kerrygold Butter Announcer]

We all should.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Why not? And there is a good chance that the president would respond. Britt McHenry, always good to talk to you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Absolutely. So listen, folks, college football is big and this is a big deal. And she's right. Now I played little Division 3 football, would never go to national championship at a size like this. But you put those pads on and have it taken away from you like that and you deserve to be there. And you don't get a chance when you're undefeated. Something's wrong with that system.

[Kerrygold Butter Announcer]

All right.

Well folks, there's no doubt that artificial intelligence can be used do some phenomenally very good things. It can also be used to do some phenomenally sick and disturbed things. I'm going to show you a headline here. This is about a Florida teacher who got 135 year sentence for sick AI generated child porn and sexual abuse of a family pet. Now let me explain what was happening. This middle school teacher was taking pictures of his kids, I guess giving it to AI and then I would generate the child porn with his students in it. Now you are a sick mother scratcher and I hope you get your due in prison because he was convicted, as I told you, getting 135 years. Apparently the same thing that he did with his family pet for bestiality. Now what happens if he didn't use the likeness of his students? Because clearly using the likeness of your students, you can't do that and put them in compromising positions. There's all kinds of laws on the books in many states that forbid you from doing that. But what if you had fictional characters and you generated AI child pornography? Should you go to jail for that? I tend to think you should, because I think we as a society need to push back against that and say any kind of child porn, even if it's, quote, victimless, should be pushed back against. Now I guess that's the one place where free speech and me would not see eye to eye. These are all issues we're going to have to figure out as we move forward with this AI stuff because it's getting wild and it is a new frontier. And I have related it to building nuclear bombs. We didn't have any oversight, really, when we took out Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

I think AI, it's one of the very, very few places I think needs oversight because it can get awful dangerous. Now, Nvidia CEO went on with our friend Joe Rogan, and he said this about what will happen with AI in just a few years in the future.

In a couple of years, maybe two.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

Or three years, 90% of the world's.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Knowledge will likely be generated by AI. That's crazy. I know. But it's just fine. But it's just fine. I know. And the reason for that is this. Let me tell you why, okay?

[Colgate Total Announcer]

It's because what difference does it make.

[Grant Stinchfield]

To me that I am learning from a textbook that was generated by a bunch of people I didn't know?

Think about that. 90%. I mean, already I'm watching children, my son included, use AI. Their brains are not working like my brain did in school. And I didn't use it all that much because I sailed through school. But you know what? To sail through school, I had to be smart about it. Now they go to AI, they type this stuff up. It's crazy. But some advice for you, and this was interesting, about how to look at your job because people will be laid off because of AI. This was the best advice I heard from Jensen Huang. But don't you think there's many jobs that I will replace?

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

If your job. Yeah, if your job is the task.

[Kerrygold Butter Announcer]

Right.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So automation. Yeah, if your job. Yeah, if your job is the task. That's a lot of people.

[Guest Commentator / Interviewee]

It could be a lot of people.

[Grant Stinchfield]

If your job is the task, you can be replaced. If you make a thumbnail for my Rumble video, that job can be done by AI Now. But if you have to go out and sell advertising for this program or my podcast, I can't do that. That don't be the task. Moving into the future. All right. Tim Walls is still crying over President Trump's truth about him. This is good. We'll see it next.

And I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected official, say, you're right, that's shameful. He should not say it. So look, I'm worried. We know how these things go. They start with taunts, they turn to violence. So deeply concerned. Oh my gosh. He's concerned about the R word. You know what he's talking about? Retarded. Okay? That's what President Trump called him. Well, don't you think the N word is a lot worse? He uses the N word all the time. He calls people like me and President Trump nazis. That's worse than retarded. Come on, man. What a joke. Sad life that little band leads, isn't it? It's very sad life. Mike Lindell is going to run against him.
