Grant Stinchfield
Well good evening everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. So probably the most high profile politician to be deposed by the Congressional committee looking into the Epstein files is Hillary Clinton. And that happened Today in Chappaqua, N.Y. in a rare case the oversight committee went to New York to cater to Hillary Clinton in a behind closed doors testimony. But here's what lit the Internet on fire. Our friend Congresswoman Lauren Boebert from Colorado released this picture through Benny Johnson of Hillary Clinton. Now, who cares? I mean, yes, that's her being deposed. Does that change anything? Oh, the outrage from the Clintons. I mean, no audio, no anything. They stormed out once they saw this picture circulating on the Internet. And her lawyer says this.
Oscar Ramirez
Obviously, everybody was very taken aback by the committee.
Grant Stinchfield
By the committee rules being essentially not enforced and certainly just broken immediately. That is not acceptable. Especially when the secretary said from day one that she wanted the press in the room when the incident happened. I think this is something that can be reported. The secretary's team continued to demand, even after the incident, to let the press into the room. Because what was important for her is that her answers to the questions not be edited. It was a picture. And you know what's interesting? So I said, a lawyer. That's not a lawyer. That's actually a Democrat congressman, but he might as well be your lawyer. I mean, just listen to him. I was texting with Lauren Boebert after this happened, and, you know, we came to the conclusion this false outrage is basically virtually hilarious. Well, the media caught up with Boebert as she was coming out of a hearing.
Cameron Kinsey
Senate Boebert, can you talk to us
Grant Stinchfield
about why you sent that picture?
Cameron Kinsey
I just returned to my hotel room and installed the bleach fit software and took a camera to my iPad. So I guess in regards to any photos, I do not recall.
Grant Stinchfield
Just like Lauren does it. Oh, my Lord. So the media goes crazy over this, even though it has no effect on anything. And so here's the deal. What does Hillary Clinton know? What is her relationship with Epstein? Did she have any involvement with Epstein making his money or Epstein money coming to them? What's her husband's involvement with little girls or who knows what this is? What she said about Epstein. I'm not sure I believe her. I don't know how many times I
Commander Kirk Lightbold
had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein. I never went to his island. I never went to his homes. I never went to his offices. So it's on the record numerous times.
Grant Stinchfield
Remember, that's under oath. She says she doesn't know Jeffrey Epstein, doesn't recall ever meeting her. So remember, that's what she wants you to believe. Now, I'm sure there were a lot of questions. We're not getting a lot of information about what came out. But Hillary Clinton wanted to try to make Republicans look bad, no matter how she could. In her very brief statements to the
Commander Kirk Lightbold
media, I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the Internet, that was serving as the basis of a member's questions. To me,
Grant Stinchfield
yeah, there could be a number of reasons why they're asking about that. If not just to make you uncomfortable, to see how far they can press you for the truth. You can tell she was agitated there. Now, Bill Clinton is next, just in a few days. And here's the reality of the situation. If Hillary Clinton wants to be angry with anyone, she ought to be angry with Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton's the one that's seen with Jeffrey Epstein in all kinds of compromising positions. Not just that one, but lying around in a pool, young girls floating around. If Hillary wants to be angry, be angry with Bill Clinton. James Comer had this to say. I think this was a productive deposition today. I think we, we learned a lot. There were a lot of questions that we asked that we, you know, weren't satisfied with the answers that we, that we got. But we will continue to move forward. So Hillary Clinton said she wanted the press to come in after the picture was released. Well, I'd be okay with that. I don't like these closed door hearings. I understand sometimes they're needed in order to get to questions that can't be out in the public yet as you're conducting an investigation. But with somebody like Hillary Clinton, we deserve to see her face as she's answering these questions. We really do. Now to the Democrats and their biggest issue. You know, the Democrats biggest issue right now, especially after the State of the Union address and the success of President Trump, it is not just Trump Derangement syndrome, it's what I'm dubbing ultra Trump Derangement Syndrome. Hakeem Jeffries, the leadership of the Congress jumping up to applaud that. How do you explain it as someone who sees it up close?
Oscar Ramirez
Yeah. The cult like behavior of my colleagues
Grant Stinchfield
on the other side of the aisle is a complete and total abdication of their responsibility to conduct themselves like a
Oscar Ramirez
separate and co equal branch of government.
Grant Stinchfield
These are the hypocrites. Nobody likes people that literally tell falsities like this. Cult like behavior. First off, when Biden is doing this, the Democrats are standing up and Republicans are sitting down. This is par for the course in Washington. But cold like behavior to stand up for a Medal of Honor winner or a crime victim who's grieving. That's cult like. This is how sick and deranged these people were and are. Here's Debbie wasserman Schultz President's State of
Peter Gillooly
the Union address, which I thought was revolting. Basically this was an awards show with lies.
Grant Stinchfield
During the commercial breaks, I thought the President acted like a carnival barker,
Oscar Ramirez
an
Grant Stinchfield
awards show, Medal of Honor recipients, a Coast Guard rescue diver who saved 160 plus little girls from floodwaters. That's your award show. A carnival barker as they're literally pinning a purple heart on somebody. I'm telling you, these people are despicable. This is their biggest problem going into the midterms. They have no ideas, they have no policies, they have no vision for how to get us from one place to the next. All it is is ultra Trump derangement. And we can do it better than him. They don't have any way or know how to tell us how. Think about what Trump talked about in his speech. Besides giving awards to great American heroes, he said tariffs could one day replace income tax. I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican. Can you imagine if we did away with the income tax system because we had tariff money coming in? That would change everything, wouldn't it? Stephen Moore, cut seven. Excuse me, cut 17.
Commander Kirk Lightbold
I really like that idea.
Grant Stinchfield
I think, can you imagine how fast
Commander Kirk Lightbold
the US Economy would grow, would be like a rocket ship if we didn't
Grant Stinchfield
have an income tax.
Commander Kirk Lightbold
And so Trump is interested in this
Grant Stinchfield
idea of sort of a consumption tax
Commander Kirk Lightbold
slash tariff tax as a way to replace our personal income tax, capital gains tax, dividend tax, estate tax, corporate tax. I mean, that would be, in my opinion, one of the strongest things we could possibly do. There's no country that could possibly compete
Grant Stinchfield
with the United States if we didn't
Commander Kirk Lightbold
have an income tax.
Grant Stinchfield
I mean, Trump has real policies, real programs he's instituted with prescription medications, the Trump dollars for schooling, and when a baby's born, to start them on a path to success. The Democrats aren't doing any of this, which is why it looks like the polling after that, State of the Union looks pretty darn good. Even according to CNN speechwatchers tonight, 64% say his policies will move the U.S. in the right direction. And look at the growth President Trump made over the speech. So pre speech it was. 54% of speech watchers said his policies will move the US in the right direction. After the speech, that number goes up 10 percentage points. So Donald Trump made some progress with people watching the speech from their pre speech expectations to what they saw in the speech. That's proof to my claim that this was President Trump's greatest speech of his career. I Want to bring in now, independent journalist and political analyst. He's got a fabulous YouTube channel. You need to follow it. Stephen Gardner is with us. Stephen, welcome to the program.
Stephen Gardner
Thank you for having me on, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
Stephen, which is a bigger story, the success of President Trump's speech or, or the demise of the Democrats after it?
Stephen Gardner
I mean, Trump was masterful. So his speech, his policies are what is destroying them. As you mentioned, they are going ultra Trump derangement syndrome. They don't know what to do with all of the winning, all of the success, all of the money that he's going to be saving the American people. And you know, the Biden administration spent over $5 million on testing groups to come up with Ultra Maga. And you came up with it right on the spot. Grant, these guys don't know what to do. They are so confused. He's got them running this way and that way. I loved it. It was such a great speech.
Grant Stinchfield
Stephen, you have such an interesting audience on YouTube. I'm curious as to what they are thinking of all of this now that we're a couple days after the speech.
Stephen Gardner
They loved it. They didn't know whether they felt patriotic or inspired. But either way, I ran a poll with over 300,000 responses and 16% said they didn't like the speech. So the other 84% said that they liked it. So when it comes to my channel and MAGA voters, they absolutely loved what President Trump had to say.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, that's good news to hear some of the other policy positions that President Trump took. I mean, they're, they're well spelled out, they're direct. It's not like you have to try to interpret them. I'll give you one, illegal aliens should not have a commercial driver's license. Look at this video from Missouri. This is a truck driving down the wrong way of the highway. Secretary Duffy, the Transportation Secretary has confirmed that that truck was driven by an illegal alien. The damage that truck could have done if, God forbid, it crashed into one of these cars is crazy. This is Secretary Duffy talking about this problem. Listen, we've seen Joe Biden allow in 12, 15, 20 million people into the country over that four years. And now a lot of them have gone out and gotten, gotten commercial driver's licenses. So when they went to a sham school, they got a sham license. They're not qualified. These are 80,000 pound big rigs and they've hit the road and now we see because they don't know how to drive, they're actually killing Americans on these roads. So we, we are clamping down on the fake schools and the fake licenses. Stephen, it all seems like common sense to me. I don't know how anybody in their right mind would be against this stuff.
Stephen Gardner
You know, this is the Democrat Party in one story. They're going 80 miles an hour with an 80,000 pound piece of machinery. This guy got his license from a fake school in Minnesota. Let that sink in, Grant. The leering center, the fake daycares, the fake medical, ripping off the American people so that they could continue to get Democrat votes. And you've got people driving 80 miles an hour with an 80,000 pound machine in the wrong direction. This whole thing is a scam. And I mean, this comes right out of the state of Minnesota. Shame on them. Get these people off the road.
Grant Stinchfield
Boy, you're right, Stephen. That picture you see on your screen, that represents the Democrat party going 80 miles an hour the wrong way and putting everybody in danger. What a great assessment. Stephen Gardner, as always, it's great to see you, my friend. Thank you for coming on.
Stephen Gardner
Thank you.
Grant Stinchfield
Stephen Gardner. One is where you can find him at stephengardner1. All right, I want to turn now to Iran because Trump has a very direct policy proposal for this. No nuclear weapons, no nuclear program, by hook or by crook. He also said during his speech that he would rather see a diplomatic solution to all of this. Well, today in Geneva, you had Trump's team, including his team there, and they said they have made great progress. Now, the Iranians had put out a, a statement that they too, believe they made great progress and that this was the longest round of talks yet, significant progress. That is very, very good news. Now, this is a woman, Trita Percy. She is an expert on Iran. She was on with War Room this morning. Take a listen. Is it a he? Maybe. I don't know. One thing I think is positive is that the President has said that he wants to hear the Iranians say clearly, in a completely undeniable way, that they will not pursue nuclear weapons. They will not have it. Now, they've said it several times, but now they're repeating it in a very clear way. It is apparently in the proposal that they sent to the US and they're doing it to show, essentially, this is what the President wants. Well, it's not a problem. It's given. Here's the problem. I don't trust anything these Iranians say. Nothing. And I should say specifically the Iranian leadership. Truth is, the Iranian people are fabulous. They've come to America and built businesses here, and they have built unbelievable lives for themselves here. There were some of the great immigrant community we have. I'm talking about leadership in Iran. Bad news. So Trump says Ford on Isfahan and Natanz, those three nuclear facilities must be completely dismantled. That's what we hit hard with our B2 bombers. And so I want to bring in now to discuss all of this, former commander of the USS Cole, Kirk Lightbold is back with us. Commander, it's great to have you on the program again.
Commander Kirk Lightbold
Thanks, Grant. Great to be back on.
Grant Stinchfield
All right. What do you make of the talks today going into the weekend? Deadlines up this weekend? Your assessment?
Commander Kirk Lightbold
Progress is talk. Talk needs to be verified at the end of the day. Number one, Iran cannot have a nuclear program. It needs to be verified, and that will be done with access by the U.S. our European partners, and in the International Atomic Energy Agency. Two, the ballistic missile program needs to be scaled back and verified that it can comply with international law and UN Sanctions that are in place. And three, Iran needs to stop supporting the terrorist proxies throughout the Middle east that have destabilized the and killed hundreds, if not thousands of Americans and other people. It is time to hold that nation accountable because I was in the embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, in April of 1983 days before they blew the face off, killing 17Americans. And that number is very sensitive to me because I lost 17 my sailors because of terrorist actions. So at the end of the day, while they may be making progress, it has to be verifiable and the Trump administration has to hold the line for the sake of. Of our future security.
Grant Stinchfield
Commander, I'm not sure we ever get real assurances of any of those things unless there's a different regime in place. Your thoughts on that?
Commander Kirk Lightbold
Well, at the end of the day, Grant, that's a choice up to the Iranian people. What we need to do is tell the leadership of Iran these are the criteria that you need to meet to ensure that you do not have won that nuclear program, which is the most dangerous element of those three that I mentioned. If they do not do that, then the United States must take a role in leadership in the world. Nobody wants to get into conflict, but the end of the day, the consequences of not taking out that leadership and that program will be devastating for the world.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, it sure will. All right, so let me ask you this, because you've spent a lot of time, as you mentioned, in that region commanding amazing people in that region. The leadership of Iran says if anything happens, if we strike them, they will do great damage to Some of our naval ships. What is their capability in reality to go after American ships and aircraft in the region?
Commander Kirk Lightbold
Well, they do have a lot of capability there, especially with the quantity of weapons that they can throw out that in some ways may be able to overwhelm our descents. But like any attack that goes in, number one, decapitate the leadership of the command and control so they can't even talk to those forces. Number two, use our weapons and their ability and the electronics to make sure that they, they cannot target us so that they know where we are. Because you have to put the weapons accurately on target and then you begin to take down those weapons facilities themselves, take down where the ballistic missiles are, take down their ability to block the Strait of Hormuz and stop the flow of oil throughout the world. So at the end of the day, I think that we've got a very robust capability there with the Abraham Lincoln strike group. By the same token, the Gerald Ford is in the eastern Mediterranean, hopefully soon, heading through the Suez Canal, through the Red Sea to get closer. What we need to do is be able to project that power. And we continue to put forces into the region, including defenses for Israel and for our other allies with the Patriot missile system, with the Theater High Altitude Air Defense System, or thaad. So we're putting a lot there and we are backing up. We're going to say we must continue to negotiate diplomatically, but at the end of the day, we draw the line and we tell the Iranian leadership, you've spent decades obfuscating and lying and no, we are not going to allow you to pull the rug out like you did under the Obama administration. We're going to hold you accountable because we can't afford to do otherwise.
Grant Stinchfield
It certainly seems to be President Trump's exact stance on all of this. Commander, I'm going to give you one more comment. I'd like to get your thoughts on this. People always come to me, they say, grant, I don't want to, to go to war with Iran. I tell them, this is not going to be a war. China is not going to weigh in on this. They're not in a position to tussle right now. Certainly Russia is not going to. We have way more capabilities, as you laid out, than Iran does. This will not go well for Iran if it was to escalate in a big way. And that's why I do not see a large, drawn out war. Your thoughts fairly quickly, if you can, for me, come here quickly.
Commander Kirk Lightbold
I don't believe we're going to have it either because the Iranian people are some of the most educated in the world and all. You have to look at those young students and others. There are technocrats lying and waiting. If they take out the ayatollahs, there was not a government in waiting. But there are people who are willing to step forward, take a leadership role, and learn to be able to run that country as a future democracy.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, great point, Commander. It's always great to see you. I appreciate you and your service to this country. God bless you. And again, thanks for coming on.
Commander Kirk Lightbold
Thank you, Grant. Appreciate being back on.
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely. Always a pleasure having you on. All right, so I want to make one little comment here, maybe two. Patriotism is cool, by the way. No matter what the mainstream media tells you. Patriotism is bad, all right? And they hate it. They hate. I don't know, maybe they hate toxic masculinity of a bunch of white guys on ice. But for whatever reason, the media has gone hog wild on these American hero hockey players. That's what they are. They infused patriotism into this country. That's why I say they're heroes. Not like soldiers or. Or the naval servicemen that Commander Leipold lost when the coal was attacked. Not like that. But they're heroes for infusing a sense of American pride. And then you get ESPN jerks like this guy Peter Rosenberg saying things like this, you pawns, you sad little pawns.
Oscar Ramirez
What are you doing?
Grant Stinchfield
And you guys will probably get to live a white, cushy, privileged enough life. Peter Rosenberg, you're working for espn. I'm sure you're making a nice living. Don't talk about sad little pawns, you sad little jock sniffer. You probably always wanted to be one of those guys. And now you're ultra jealous. And you're so jealous and so whiny and such a wuss bag that you became a whiny Karen liberal. And nobody cares about you. But what we do care about are those hockey players, man. And so now they're back on the ice doing their thing. I think we have a clip from one of the players back on the ice. I don't have the number for you, but a cold behind the glass be great for me. You got it.
Oscar Ramirez
Roll it.
Cameron Kinsey
Comes the United States men's hockey team.
Grant Stinchfield
And Devils fans, let's head for number 86, Jack Hughes.
Peter Gillooly
I'm so proud and I'm so happy
Grant Stinchfield
that the men's and women's USA Hockey teams brought gold medals back to the United States of America. Amen, brother. And you heard the chance usa. Usa. Usa. So, Peter Rosenberg, you know my favorite saying folks? Oh God to you, you mother scratcher. All right. Most wireless companies don't care who you are or what you believe. They just want your money. Patriot Mobile is different. For more than 12 years they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth defending. You don't have to give up quality or service when you switch to Patriot Mobile. They deliver premium priority access on all three major U S networks. So you'll get the same even better coverage than you have today. Keep your number, keep your phone upgrade, get a new number. 100 U. S based customer support. That's what I love.

Use the promo code RAV for a free month service. That's patriot mobile.com RAV972 Patriot Switch today and tell them Grant Stitchfield sent you. All right. At least one American citizen has been killed by the Cuban coast guard after they opened fire on a speedboat near their shores. What's this about next?

Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back, everyone. I don't know if you heard about this American boat that is off the shore of Cuba with at least one American citizen on board that Cuba says open fire on the Cuban coast guard. They fire back, kill some of the people in the boat, take the others into custody. They're recovering and Cuba's insisting that they open fire on them first. I don't believe anything Cuba says. This is our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. Suffice it to say it is highly unusual to see shootouts in open sea like that. It's not something that happens every day. It's something, frankly, that hasn't happened with Cuba in a very long time. And, but, but we're going to find out. We're not going to base our conclusions on what they've told us. Here's my assessment. I think the people in the boat actually were bad dudes. First off, what do you have 10 people in a 24 foot boat for off the coast of Cuba with guns? If you believe that there was a shootout, I don't think they're going to lie about that. Some of the people in the boat, according to reporting, had criminal records. I think in the end this is going to turn into a big nothing burger. But here is the theme. Do not trust Cuba. Florida Congressman, I want to know exactly what happened in that incident and I want access to the six remaining Americans that are in Cuban hands right now. Supposedly they were injured and they're being given medical treatment. So I don't, I don't trust the Cuban government in anything. I don't trust anything that they say. Their, their story has already changed. Well, I'm with him on that. I do think this is going to turn out to be a lot of nothing. Maybe some bad dudes in the boat. Who knows? All right, now I want to turn to Mexico. We've been covering this because with Mexican unrest with the cartels buzzing, this does not bode well for America. That violence can certainly spill over into America. We know the cartels are upset with the American government for shutting the border down and basically all of their ways to earn revenue, at least in a big way coming into America. But what about the tourist towns? I'm telling you, I go to Cabo all the Time, I think that's still pretty safe. I'm a fan of Cancun, and I used to love Puerto Vallarta, and that got hit the worst. Well, joining me now from Tapalapa, Mexico, Real America's Voice correspondent Oscar Ramirez is with me. He's not far from Puerto Vallarta, I believe, Oscar, Is that correct, my friend?
Oscar Ramirez
No, it's a matter of fact. I'm in the epicenter. I'm in just. This was the epicenter where this individual got captured and the execution that happened just around 10 to 15 minutes away from this beautiful town that got greatly affected economically. It is a beautiful tourist spot. As a matter of fact, we're just moments away from seeing the mayor right here speaking behind me, Grant. And it is getting affected economically and financially. This town has never seen no violence, no cartel activity. This man just came over 15 minutes away from here, and there was a full operation, full shootout. And it is affecting the citizens right here, giving them a bad name around the globe of what is happening. But let me just resume. What has happened is we arrived. We arrived in the airport of Guadalajara. Four burning cars. Sadly, again, the violence increases in Guadalajara, and then in the part of Vallarta, everything has gone back to normal. Huge deployment by the federal government to maintain and contain the security not only to Mexican citizens, but also to international citizens, US Citizens, primarily in the part of Vallarta and ultimately all around these areas. The problem, Grant, it is in the rural areas, in the countryside where there is a lot of presence from this criminal organization.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Oscar, so my assessment then is you get this one, one and a half days of craziness in Puerto Vallarta scares all the tourists. The media jumps on board and says everything's shut down. They were still saying everything was shut down. I went on the American Airlines app to see if I could book a flight to Puerto Vallarta. Not that I was going, but I could. The airline was flying in and out of Puerto Vallarta by the day after all of this happened. And is it true no American citizens were injured? Is that correct, Oscar?
Oscar Ramirez
That is absolutely correct. Everything is back to normal. Now. The thing about it is that the ultimate pressure by the United States government and a bilateral relation with the Mexican government to basically go ahead and destroy this criminal organization. It has worked effectively. It has affected in some tourist spots, but everything is going back to normal. Specifically in Puerto Vallarta, tourism has gone back to normal. You see a lot of American citizens going outside and giving interviews to the public and saying everything's back to normal. We invite people to come. And it's one of the towns that I'm right now standing is the Palpa. It is a beautiful town that is greatly being affected right now. This is one of the reasons why the mayor wants to speak and wants to say, you know, we should come back to tourism again.
Grant Stinchfield
Oscar, let me ask you, because nobody knows Mexican politics like you do. Sheinbaum, you've been critical of. I've been critical of her. I think she's bought and paid for by the cartels. Is there any chance that President Trump puts the screws to her enough to get her to agree to let America come in and help and eradicate these cartels once again and for all?
Oscar Ramirez
Let me tell you something happened that is possibly historic. As a Mexican citizen, I can tell you the other day in a countryside, the Marines and the army entered and they were yelling Viva Mexico. And they were yelling thank you for coming. That has never possibly happened in history. And this is the collateral effect of a bilateral relationship to eradicate and eliminate these problems. The exposure of dirty politicians in our country of Mexico. That, that is the absolute root of the corruption in our country. That needs to be fixed immediately. And it's getting fixed by this bilateral relationship. Something, a breath of fresh air has come in, a breath of hope, you know, it is coming in that this kind of problems and executions on a leader of a cartel organization can get eliminated and peace can come back to several areas and several cities.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, real quick. So Sheinbaum had to have played a role in putting the approval on taking out this cartel leader. Do you think she may be changing or should I still be as suspect as I am of her?
Oscar Ramirez
No, we can, we cannot ever trust, you know, what the current situation that is happening. But the only thing that we can say is that there is an absolute pressure by the. By the American administration into the Mexican administration. And this has to work. And don't. There's no other way. There has to be a bilateral relationship. Now things are floating and a lot of things are being exposed. And one of the things that the Department of Treasury of the United States of America has done is the exposure of more than 50 plus dirty politicians that they have been in cahoots with the organized crime in the cartel. I think that the Trump administration is doing a magnificent job on doing that. The exposure of dirty politicians. And they need to emphasize on that more and pressure the Shamba administration to continue to secure the citizens and to deploy more of the federal government in the Mexican towns.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, Oscar Ramirez, Great work as always. Please, these are very dangerous times, especially for people like you. I was playing sound bites of Senator Lily Tell us in Mexico. She's. She's outspoken and I worry about people like that as well. So stay safe for us. Keep us posted. Thank you for coming on tonight, Oscar.
Oscar Ramirez
Thank you, Grant. It's always an honor to be with you.
Grant Stinchfield
The honor is mine, my friend. It absolutely is. All right folks, as Americans wait for the Senate to take up the Save America act, you're not going to believe what they did. They hosted a dog show in the United States Senate. A dog show.

Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back everyone. Let me remind you the United States Senate was on vacation for two weeks while the Department of Homeland Security was shut down. That's right, on vacation. Telling you they're working for their constituents back home. I'll give me a break. So they're on vacation. Why DHS is shut down. We have the Save America act, which would require every American citizen Show a voter ID to vote. An ID to vote and prove you're an American citizen. Common sense. Sense. So what do they do today in our illustrious Senate? They hold a dog show. This is not a joke, folks. They had Senate staffers and senators bring their dogs in. Now, I know that's cute and I'm a dog lover. In fact, Goose, I don't want to say his name too loud, is right here in the studio with me, but I got work to do. We're not doing dog shows here, okay? That's pathetic. It really is. They need to be working to pass this SAVE act and doing it now. I want to bring in now to help me break all of this down. Host of the Sincerely American podcast, former Trump White House official Cameron Kinsey is back with us. Cameron, it's great to have you on the program.
Cameron Kinsey
It's good to be back with you. Good seeing you.
Grant Stinchfield
Granted Cameron a dog show instead of starting a talking filibuster opening up debate on this bill. Your thoughts?
Cameron Kinsey
Well, you know exactly what you said. The SAVE act simply says that you have to show verification of citizenship in order to be able to vote. This really should be a non issue. It should be common sense legislation because over 84% of Americans agree that we should have some form of voter id. And so John Thune really needs to force these people to take a stand on this. Use the same strategy that President Trump did at the State of the Union, just like he asked those legislators to stand up to protect Americans first. If you disagree with this, say why stand up. Be transparent. It's not that hard. We need to get real. We've got midterms right around the corner. We deserve fair and honest elections. And this has been a main mission for President Trump since the very beginning. We need real leaders to codify his agenda that majority of Americans voted for. He won by the popular vote for a reason. And John Thune has every tool in the shed after the State of the Union to force them to defend their positions on this.
Grant Stinchfield
It seems to me like Thune continues to make excuses as to why this can't happen. So now they're talking about this talking filibuster because we have this 60 vote hurdle with a regular filibuster. If you don't get the 60 votes, you can't move the legislation to a full vote. So one of the issues is that one of the Senate rules. Cameron, I know you know this explaining for the folks at home is that the Democrats can offer up an unlimited number of amendments if we do that. And then each amendment has to be debated and they will draw this out by opening up amendments. Well, Senator Ron Johnson has a plan for this, but I'm not sure every Republican will get on board with it in the Senate. Roll clip one, we defeat or we table amendments all the time. All the time.
Oscar Ramirez
You know, even good amendments recently.
Grant Stinchfield
No, we're going to vote no, because if we put this in here, it
Commander Kirk Lightbold
changes the bill and it's going to
Oscar Ramirez
be a poison pill.
Commander Kirk Lightbold
So we just would bring up, you
Grant Stinchfield
know, any, any Democrat amendment.
Commander Kirk Lightbold
We just have a strategy and say,
Grant Stinchfield
okay, we're not going to. We're not. No matter how good the amendment is,
Oscar Ramirez
no matter how much you'd want to
Grant Stinchfield
support it, we're all going to vote to table it so we can actually
Oscar Ramirez
pass the Save America act because that's the higher priority.
Grant Stinchfield
So, Cameron, the theory is they can offer up every amendment and instantly put it to a vote and then vote it down. I mean, that seems like a great strategy, but I'm sure you'll have some rhino Republicans that just will refuse to do that.
Cameron Kinsey
Yeah, I mean, before this conversation with you, I texted multiple congressional leaders about this and they all said that they just don't have the vote that for this and it's that simple. Now, I mean, I heard that Thune doesn't want to do a standing filibuster because it may eventually be weaponized back at Republicans. And you know, we also just heard from Senator Thune yesterday. He also said he doesn't have the support of 50 Republican senators either to go down the path of enforcing a talking filibuster to pass this. So I mean, this just goes to show you that the uniparty is resisting rule changes. So Grant, I mean, I think it's time for people to start naming them. I mean, I think I've heard at least four of the Republicans who aren't willing to move with this process are McConnell, Murkowski, Tillis, Curtis. So I mean, if leadership says that their hands are tied on this and then it's time to be honest about who's blocking this progress and why. And if they're co sponsoring this piece of legislation, it is merely performative at this point point without the talking filibuster. And on top of that, this is an idea of middle ground to make obstruction harder. And it's pathetic that it doesn't have enough Republican support.
Grant Stinchfield
It really does. You know, thank you for doing that. Work and getting some, some assessment of where this all stands. You know, for the last couple of weeks, Cameron, I've been saying I do not have faith that this Save America act will ever get passed for exactly the reasons you just laid out. Out for some of the reasons I've been laying out to me, I have less and less faith as every day moves on, Cameron.
Cameron Kinsey
Well, look, I want to just take a step back for a second because when Joe Biden was president and Vice President Kamala Harris was in office and named the borders off, all they did was undo 94 of President Trump's executive actions to open our nation's borders and allow for illegal immigrants and fentanyl to pour into this country. The only reason why any legislator wouldn't be in favor of this is because they're not confident that they would win an honest and fair election. It's not like they'd be upsetting their constituents on this either. The majority of Americans voted for this. Over 84% of Americans want voter ID laws. You look at any place in Europe, any other democracy, this is the norm. This is not an un uncommon idea. It is very easy to obtain a form of identification in order to vote in this country. So we need to continue to apply the pressure, hold these people accountable who are stalling President Trump's agenda and not working with their colleagues day and night on taxpayer dime, I may add, to get this done.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. You named four senators. Mitch McConnell was one of them. I'm told he's right there in the middle of blocking all of this, either him or a staffer, because I'm not even sure he's complet completely with it anymore. But the power of the McConnell name is, is in the middle of stopping all of this. You got Thom Tillis, who's a total disgrace, Murkowski, Susan Collins, the list goes on. But I appreciate you naming those names. Cameron Kinsey, it's always great having you on the program. Where can people find you?
Cameron Kinsey
Just on any of my social media platforms at Cameron Bailey. I also host a new podcast called Sincerely American for pop culture, culture for women, social media trends and things like that. So we've got to get the woman vote. I know that President Trump made incredible gains with Gen Z men, but we've got to get the women. So make sure to show your support. We're on YouTube, Spotify, wherever. You get your Apple podcasts as well.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, that sounds good. I have a feeling, Cameron, the men are on all be turning to tuning into this now after this segment. But That's a positive and a very big compliment to you. Cameron. Thank you for coming on the program.
Cameron Kinsey
I appreciate you. Grant. Thank you.
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely. All right folks, with February being National Cancer Prevention Awareness Month, what you can do to protect yourself from cancer next.

Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back everyone. I don't know if you saw the news of this young man, James Vanderbeek. He was the star of Dawson's Creek. That was a little after my time for that kind of programming. I'm a little old for Dawson's Creek. Not a lot old for Dawson street, but a little old for Dawson's Creek. This gentleman was 48 years old. He died of colorectal cancer and I'm seeing a lot of people die of colon cancer and then all kinds of cancers specifically after these vaccines. Well, the wellness company now has a fabulous product out there called Shield and it's designed to be a preventative for cancer. And I would also add in the parasite cleanse with Ivermectin and membendazole, which has been fabulous and really proven as a cancer preventative as well because of the parasite connection. I want to bring in the CEO of the wellness company, Peter Gillooly, to the program. Peter, welcome to the program.
Peter Gillooly
Thanks for having me, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
I was going to just keep going, Peter, because I'm so used to talking about I love your parasite cleanse and I love the product shield. But the sad reality is we need products like this because cancer rates are on the rise place.
Peter Gillooly
It's scary. And it hasn't just been the last few years. Colorectal cancer has grown by about 2% annually for people under 50 since the mid-90s. It's now the leading cause of cancer death for men under 50 and the second leading cause for women under 50. It's really a scary trend. And let's face it, if you look at this generational shift that's going on, people under 50 years old now face a significantly higher risk of developing cancer of all type of than their parents did.
Grant Stinchfield
What do you think it's due to?
Peter Gillooly
Well, we'll get to the vaccine in a moment, but let's look at the lifestyle factors first. We sit around a lot. We're obese. We eat processed food and ultra processed food. We have terrible microbiomes. All of these things really contribute to cancer spreading in the body and a weakened immune system. But the vaccine certainly didn't help matters. Grant, we've talked extensively about the damage that the vaccine does to your DNA and how that can trigger cancers. But it also really distracts your immune system. In an inflamed state, your immune system is not able to effectively fight tumors and clear them from the body, which we have every day. And we need a strong immune system to do so. So effectively, cancers can grow unchecked. And the sad reality is, especially among young people, they're not getting regular screening. So oftentimes, when they actually catch cancer in these people, it's too late to treat.
Grant Stinchfield
I know you're not a doctor. Real quick, is there an easy way to screen for this? Do you still have to go in and have a colonoscopy or, you know, all the, all the ways? We don't like getting checked as men, but is there an easier way? Can you just do a blood test? Now?
Peter Gillooly
Blood tests are useful. Colonoscopies are still the gold standard. There are fecal tests as well that you can use. But get checked, it's worth it.
Grant Stinchfield
Get checked. Okay. Now we come to the product shield, and I would Also offer up your parasite cleanse as well as a preventative, not just as a detox to parasites, which I think most Americans probably have these two products. Your thoughts?
Peter Gillooly
Fantastic products. Shield was born. Dr. Victor, who I know you've had on the show many times, she went through her own personal cancer battle and was really disappointed by the options that she was presenting because they offer, they often compromise her immune system, which as I just said, is one of the key tools that your body has to combat cancer. So she specifically designed this product herself to consolidate the stacks and stacks of supplements that people usually take for a strong immune system into one easy to take daily drink mix and soft gel. So it's a great product. On the other hand, Ivermectin and Bendazole, you've spoken about its praises before taking it just for parasite cleanse, but people do take it off lab for cancer. We have many of those patients come to the wellness company and our doctors for that. We're really excited because we're a few weeks away of actually releasing a study on these patients about the outcomes of those who have taken Ivermectin and Bendazole for cancer. And honestly, the results totally blew us away. It was far, far more positive than we ever could have hoped.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, that's going to be big. Please will you bring those results to us here and we can do a segment on the show about that because that's going to be interesting and it's going to drive the mainstream media crazy. Well, big pharma and mainstream medicine crazy as well. Peter Gillooly. I'm going to tell people how to get with twc. I appreciate you coming on the program for everybody out there watching.

Host: Grant Stinchfield | Date: February 27, 2026
Notable Guests: Stephen Gardner, Commander Kirk Lippold, Oscar Ramirez, Cameron Kinsey, Peter Gillooly
This episode of “Stinchfield Tonight” delivers a combative and opinionated analysis of current events through the lens of American conservatism and “real news.” Host Grant Stinchfield covers the Congressional deposition of Hillary Clinton in the Epstein investigation, reactions to Trump’s State of the Union, allegations of Democratic hypocrisy, immigration and public safety, US-Iran nuclear negotiations, cartel violence in Mexico, the SAVE America Act, cancer awareness, and an exposé on Nancy Pelosi’s wealth accumulation in Congress. Lively roundtables, guest commentary, and memorable soundbites give listeners insight into the show’s viewpoint that American values, transparency, and patriotism are under siege, while President Trump’s policies generate hope among supporters.
“If Hillary wants to be angry, be angry with Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton’s the one seen with Jeffrey Epstein in all kinds of compromising positions.”
— Grant Stinchfield (06:20)
“The US economy would grow like a rocket ship if we didn’t have an income tax… There’s no country that could possibly compete.”
“This is the Democrat Party in one story… going 80 miles an hour with an 80,000-pound machine in the wrong direction.”
— Stephen Gardner (14:44)
“If they do not do that, then the United States must take a role in leadership in the world. Nobody wants to get into conflict, but at the end of the day, the consequences of not taking out that leadership… will be devastating.”
— Commander Kirk Lippold (19:58)
“The exposure of dirty politicians… That is the absolute root of the corruption… that needs to be fixed immediately.”
— Oscar Ramirez (34:09)
“If leadership says that their hands are tied on this… it is merely performative at this point without the talking filibuster.”
— Cameron Kinsey (43:26)
“My hope for all of you is that you find somebody who loves you as much as Nancy Pelosi loves insider trading. Because then you will have a very good life indeed.”
— J.D. Vance (55:22)
This episode exemplifies RAV’s trademark take-no-prisoners tone—mixing breaking news, political combativeness, skepticism of mainstream narratives, and personal gripes about patriotism and media. The panel presents their side’s arguments with conviction, challenges Democratic leadership, and holds nothing back in portraying the Trump agenda as broadly popular and vigorously opposed by political insiders. The commentary and interviews, especially around border security, Iran, electoral reform, and alleged political corruption, provide listeners with a clear sense of the hosts’ priorities and worldview.
