Episode Overview

This episode of "Stinchfield Tonight" dives into several hot topics dominating American politics and foreign policy: the Senate's ongoing dysfunction, stalled legislation around election security and border control (notably the SAVE America Act), controversies over Bill Clinton’s recent testimony and the Epstein files, 2026 election speculation, and escalating tensions in the Middle East—with a special eye on U.S./Iran relations. True to the show’s combative, populist tone, host Grant Stinchfield and his guests criticize both parties in the Senate, call out prominent politicians, and analyze the broader implications for American democracy, security, and foreign interests.

Key Discussion Highlights

1. Senate Dysfunction and DHS Funding Crisis

• [00:55–04:16] Grant Stinchfield’s Monologue
  • Stinchfield opens with a blistering critique of the U.S. Senate, condemning both Democrats and Republicans for shirking official duties, especially regarding the DHS funding standoff.
  • Describes essential agencies being unfunded (TSA, Secret Service, FEMA), blaming Democrats for the “shutdown,” but holds Republicans responsible for failing to negotiate or act decisively.
  • Slams the Senate for slow-walking Trump administration nominations (“at least 700–800 nominations” still pending).

"The United States Senate right now is shirking its responsibility, not just to President Trump, but to the American people." — Grant Stinchfield [00:57]

Quotes:

• Mark Alford (R) [03:11]:
  “We have fully funded ICE through the one big beautiful bill... What you are putting in jeopardy is the safety of American citizens that rely on FEMA, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, that rely on cybersecurity to keep us safe in America.”

2. The SAVE America Act & Voter ID Debate

• [04:16–08:59]
  • Stinchfield hammers the Senate for not passing the SAVE America Act, which would require showing ID to vote.
  • Points at intra-GOP divisions—names McConnell as an obstacle, and criticizes reliance on unelected staff.
  • Guests and Stinchfield question Senate excuses about procedures/filibusters.

“You should be deeply suspicious of senators telling you, sorry, we can't get the Save America act passed because the Senate rules won't allow it.” — Senator Mike Lee (quoted by Rob Waldman) [05:52]

Guest: Catalina Loof

• Argues overwhelming public support for the Act (“70% of Democrats, 95% of Republicans, 83% of Americans support”), but laments Congress is “divided on it.”
• Calls for more grassroots action and term limits.

“When you have members of Congress who are not voting on behalf of the will of the people, they need to be elected out.” — Catalina Loof [07:50]

3. Immigration, Open Borders, and Election Integrity

• [08:59–12:28]
  • Brandon Gill (R-TX) is quoted accusing Democrats of seeking to influence elections by allowing illegal immigration.
  • Discussion of the idea that “giving 11 million people a pathway to citizenship... and allowing them to vote in the meantime” is fundamentally unfair and “grotesque.”

4. Bill Clinton, Epstein, and Media Narratives

• [12:28–17:24]
  • Stinchfield recaps Clinton’s testimony, pointing out Clinton’s numerous meetings and flights with Epstein, but Clinton denies seeing or knowing about criminal behavior.
  • Suggests Epstein was involved in intelligence operations beyond sex crimes.
  • Anna Paulina Luna is quoted: “Jeffrey Epstein was running an intelligence gathering operation... I do believe it was a honeypot operation.” [16:00]

5. Kamala Harris, Voter ID, and Statistics

• [17:24–22:34]
  • Stinchfield and Jennifer Horn debunk Kamala Harris’s claim that 40% of Americans lack ID or birth certificates, using quick statistics:
    • Over 99% of Americans have a birth certificate.
    • 91% of age-eligible Americans have a driver’s license; over 51% have a passport.
  • Horn criticizes Harris and Newsom for patronizing rhetoric, especially about women changing names after marriage.
  • SAVE America Act includes provisions for using a marriage license.

“Kamala Harris, the rest of the Democrats are trying to fear monger into saying that President Trump doesn’t want women or people of color to vote. It's insulting, it's nonsense, and it's all filled with lies.” — Jennifer Horn [20:32]

6. Cuba, Iran, and Foreign Policy Gamble

• [24:40–32:19]
  • Trump suggests a “friendly takeover of Cuba,” calling the country “a failing nation.”
  • The podcast pivots hard into U.S./Iranian confrontation:
    • U.S. military assets, including the USS Ford and F-22s, are deployed to the Middle East.
    • Analyst Rob Waldman breaks down the symbolism and deterrence of these moves, predicting “a lot of assets in the area.”
    • The risk of direct attack is framed as a potential justification for U.S. military response, should Iran target U.S. forces.

“If [Iran] does put our forces at risk, we will retaliate... I do not think it will be the full force initially, but it will be a very, very powerful strategic strike.” — Rob Waldman [31:11]

7. Body Language Segment: Hillary Clinton, Boebert, Trump, Pelosi, and More

• [34:12–43:37]
  • Greg Hartley, a body language and behavior expert, assesses several politicians’ public statements and media appearances:
    • Hillary Clinton: Dismissive, in control, “amused smile,” denies knowing Epstein.
    • Lauren Boebert: Parodies Clinton’s answers with humorous reference to “bleachbit” and “I do not recall.”
    • Pelosi: Uses physical gestures to regain control and reinforce party messaging.
    • Trump: His confident hand gestures affect even critics; he’s described as setting “flaming bag of poo” rhetorical traps for Democrats at the State of the Union.

“She’s masterful at it... She’s just brilliant.” — Greg Hartley on Hillary Clinton’s evasive media responses [36:38]

8. Democrats, Dishonesty, and Media Spin

• [44:12–46:49]
  • Segment features college students and media figures (Jimmy Kimmel) critiquing Trump’s State of the Union before it actually occurred.
  • Criticism also falls on the Democratic “response,” pre-written before hearing Trump’s actual speech.

“I’m going to paint a broad brush over all Democrats. They’re liars, most of them.” — Grant Stinchfield [44:12]

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the Senate stalemate:
  “He needs to step down, get somebody new in there. They ought to have him absolutely removed. He’s in a wheelchair, for crying out loud.” — Grant Stinchfield on Mitch McConnell [05:11]

• On the importance of voting legislation:
  “We the people hold the power... they need to be elected out.” — Catalina Loof [07:50]

• On Harris’s 40% claim:
  “I’ve seen a lot of ding dongs driving around with masks, but that can’t be 40% of the country.” — Jennifer Horn [18:14]

• On Epstein’s operations:
  “I do believe it was a honeypot operation.” — Catalina Loof [16:12]

• On Iran conflict timing:
  “Not a question of if, it's when.” — Grant Stinchfield [29:02]

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. The the United States Senate right now is in complete violation of its official duties. Not that that means anything. Not that they can be punished other than at the ballot box or by doing programs like this. But the United States Senate right now is shirking its responsibility, not just to President Trump, but to the American people. Let's go through it on the Democrats. Is this DHS funding bill? Has anyone even heard anybody talking about this? Right now? We have the Coast Guard, we've got Secret Service, we've got tsa, all of these Homeland Security departments, including FEMA shut down because of the Democrats. And it's like it's not even going on. Then on the Republicans, you've got the SAVE act, which to me doesn't look like it's going to go through. Sad reality. And then on both Democrats and Republicans is President Trump's inability to get a lot of his nominations through. He still has at least 7, 800 nominations to get passed through the United States Senate. We're now over a year into his term. That's bad news now when it comes to all of this. Well, let's just start with Chuck Schumer. Okay? Part of the problem, a week ago Monday, you still haven't heard back. Crickets. And so it's in their court. As for getting this done, we all want to see TSA and the other agencies funded. That's up to the Republicans. Very simply, all they have to do is agree with our simple ideas that every police department just about in America follows. And we'll get it all done. It's plain and simple. Agree with his ideas. What he actually means is agree with our demands. Because what he's done is taken the nation hostage, taken national security hostage. And that's a problem. Not to mention the good people of TSA and Social Security and Secret Service that literally are now Going without paychecks. Now, ICE is funded through the one big beautiful bill. But still listen to this. Mark Alford, this is Republican Congressman.

[Greg Hartley]

We'll say to the Democrats out there listening now, we have fully funded ICE through the one big beautiful bill. So that fight is not a good fight for you to take up right now. What you are putting in jeopardy is the safety of American citizens that rely on fema, that rely on the Coast Guard, that rely on the Secret Service, that rely on cybersecurity to keep us safe in America.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And what happens this summer in the United States? We have FIFA World cup coming here in 11 separate cities. You don't think that's a target? You don't think we need to be getting ready for that? Puts a lot of the security preparations on hold right now. Democrats don't care. Here's the Secretary, Kristi Noem.

[Jennifer Horn]

Well, I wish I could do more. Right now my department isn't funded. You know, it's the Department of Homeland Security that is supposed to be making sure that these large scale events across the country are safe. They're national security events, SEER1 events, which means they're the utmost priority in making sure that we keep people safe.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So when I tell you the Senate is shirking its responsibility, I mean it. And I blame Republicans almost as much as I blame Democrats for this. And if we go back to the SAVE act, which is literally the most important piece of legislation we have ever had, that you have to prove you're an American citizen, prove that, that you are who you are by showing ID to vote, all of this very important so we don't get in the same situation we're in now. You want to see one of the Republicans that's blocking this? There's at least four of them. Look at this.

[Jennifer Horn]

For McConnell, can you give us some information on why you blocked the SAVE act or any information on your thoughts on what Rep. Tim Burchette said about staffers running your office? Any comments?

[Catalina Loof]

S.

[Grant Stinchfield]

He, he, he, he's gone, okay? There's nobody there. Staffers aren't supposed to be running his office. The, the elected official is supposed to be running his office. Mitch McConnell certainly is not. He needs to step down, get somebody new in there. They ought to have him absolutely removed. He's in a wheelchair, for crying out loud. So again, we are being told that the SAVE act, if we go to this talking filibuster, oh no, no, it's too dangerous. The Democrats will hold up the United States Senate for months. They can offer up amendment after amendment after amendment and nothing will get done. And it's, it's just too perilous. Well, I trust Senator Mike Lee. Listen to what he had to say about that.

[Rob Waldman]

You should be deeply suspicious of senators telling you, sorry, we can't get the Save America act passed because the Senate rules won't allow it. And then you ask the follow up question, what about the talking filibuster? If they then say, sorry, it won't

[Grant Stinchfield]

work, make them show their work, make

[Rob Waldman]

them establish why it is that it can't be done. It's awfully easy for somebody who can

[Grant Stinchfield]

hide behind the complexity of the Senate

[Rob Waldman]

rules to tell you that they don't want to do something by claiming that they can't do something.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And just for good measure, would you like to see why it is so important they tell us, the Democrats, do they literally show their hand about why we need to get the Save act through? Do they think they're not tipping us off? Chuck Schumer again. But we could come up with a bill like that. It toughens up the border. It gives a path to citizenship, a long, tough path to citizenship for 11 million people who are here. Stop the deportations. Give 11 million people a pathway to citizenship. And while they're working on that pathway, let's just allow them to vote in the meantime. That's what this is all about. Republicans, Democrats, the two of you, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, especially if you're holding elected office in the United States Senate. With me now to discuss this former Trump administration advisor and congressional candidate in Florida. Catalina Loof is with us. Catalina, it's great to have you on the program.

[Catalina Loof]

Thanks for having me on, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, it's good to see you, Catalina. What do you think? I think the United States Senate, I'm almost done with both sides of them here. I mean, there's a few good Republicans in the, in the Senate putting up a fight. But this seems like a lot of talk why nothing can get done.

[Catalina Loof]

You know what? When you have 70% of Democrats, 95% of Republicans, and 83% of the American people as a whole from all walks of life who support the Save America act, and we're all united on it, but then Congress, who we elect, is divided on it. It is a very serious issue that is going on in our country. And it really shows exactly where we are in, in what we are supposed to be, which is a republic with a representative democracy, we the people hold the power. And when you have members of Congress who are not voting on Behalf of the will of the people, they need to be elected out. And I hope that the midterms and whoever is up for Senate reelection on either side of the aisle, if they are not voting in favor of this, that we do our part, we the people do our part in holding them accountable. Because this is absolutely ridiculous that we even have to vote on something so fundamental to our Republican values.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, it is amazing that this hasn't been done way earlier. I think this caught a lot of people by surprise until they realized, oh, you know what? I never really did have to prove I'm an American citizen when I registered to vote. But you raised something interesting because, you know, you talked about elected leaders should be doing the job that the people elected them to do. And then I look at Mitch McConnell in a wheelchair and by all accounts, and it's his staff that's running the office. Catalina?

[Catalina Loof]

Yeah. You know, first of all, why do you have anybody on either side of the aisle in office for 30, 40 years? I'm a huge proponent of term limits. But until we get that done, we the people need to be doing our job in holding these so called leaders members accountable. You know, Mitch McConnell at the end of the day is still elected. So at some point people need to vote him out if he will not retire on his own. And so it ultimately comes down to we the people. And I want to remind the viewers here that unless we get involved, unless we want to actually do the grassroots, do the hard work, support candidates all across the country in every community, then this will continue to go on. And so I really hope that people and viewers, especially now coming up with the midterms, really see how serious this stuff is. You know, it's things like, you know, the Lake and Riley act, for example. We've gotten to a point where I know that's different than the Save America act, but I'll tell you, in general, common sense legislation that is good for America is no longer on the docket anymore. There was a time where people would come together in Congress and actually push legislation that was good for the American people. That is not happening today. And the fact that even some Republicans are holding this hostage is even more. It's even more insulting again to what our founding fathers and the values of this republic, what we were founded upon, they would be rolling in their graves right now.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I think you're right about that. A member of Congress who you'd probably be on the same, same team as him, Representative Brandon Gill. He represents a part of Texas not far from where I Broadcast from this is what he said about what's going on in the. In the Senate. The left's open borders were, I think, most stingingly a part of a deliberate policy to influence our elections, even at the expense of American families. An attempt to flood our country with illegal aliens, to distort congressional representation, to provide a pathway for them to vote. All part of a political program that was not just deeply cynical, but absolutely grotesque. All right, so, Catalina, you're running for Congress in Florida. Last word. I'll give you what can the people out there do to make a difference here? Real quick.

[Catalina Loof]

If you can, you need to get involved. You need to support America First. Candidates like Congressman Gill. You know, I'm running in Southwest Florida. Catalinaforcongress.com, we'd love to have your support, but also, just please get involved. You know, this is absolutely ridiculous that we have come to this point, and I hope that this is an awakening moment for the people, because something like this that the majority of Americans support should absolutely be forefront of this legislative agenda.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Absolutely it should. Catalina, it's always good to see you. Catalina for Congress.com is the website. Help her out. We'll see you soon, Catalina. Have a nice weekend. All right, moving on now to the other big story today. Former President Bill Clinton. He was in the testimony room in Chappaqua, New York, not far from his house. He still gets special privileges. They moved the whole committee up to interview him and his wife Hillary this week. This, I believe, is the most important soundbite to come out of the deposition today. It's stated by James Comer, the committee chairman, but he's quoting Bill Clinton about President Trump. Ranking member Garcia asked President Clinton, quote, should, should President Trump be called to answer questions from this committee? And President Clinton said, that's for you to decide. And the president went on to say that the President Trump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved. And he met with Epstein. So again, over and over and over again, every piece of evidence, everyone who's asked about this says there is no evidence of President Trump and any involvement with Epstein. And the Democrats are going down a very dangerous road now because it's only Democrats that are now getting caught up in this complete mess. Now, if anybody would know if President Trump had any involvement with Epstein, it would most certainly be Bill Clinton. He took 27 flights with Jeffrey Epstein and then claimed he had no idea of Jeffrey Epstein's illicit behavior. Never witnessed it, never saw it. That if he saw anything like that, he would have called the authorities himself. Do you believe him? I don't. He said nothing happened. That picture of him in the hot tub with Jeffrey Epstein and the young woman floating around said it was a public hotel, nothing happened there. Who could Forget that picture? 17 trips to the White House Epstein took to visit with Bill Clinton, and Clinton says, no, I never saw the salacious sexual activity. Well, here was President Trump being asked about the testimony of Bill Clinton today.

[Donald Trump]

I don't know anything about the Epstein files. You know, I've been fully exonerated.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So here's my question. Why would Epstein be with Clinton if we take Clinton at his word, which I don't, by the way, but if we did and there was none of this crazy sexual extravaganzas going on, maybe Epstein wanted Clinton's contacts. Maybe he wanted his introductions. It is becoming more and more clear to me that Epstein wasn't making his money off of the sex predator nonsense that he was engaging in. He was making his money off of spying, running guns, working for the Israeli government, working for Middle Eastern bigwigs like Adnan Khashoggi, moving money all over the place. That's how I think Epstein was making his money. Annapolina Luna said this after the hearing today.

[Jennifer Horn]

It has become very evident even in the last 24 hours in lines of questioning that Jeffrey Epstein was running a intelligence gathering operation. In my professional opinion, I do believe

[Catalina Loof]

it was a honeypot operation.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Could have been. I'd like to see more and more evidence of this. I think there's plenty of evidence. Jeffrey Epstein was a dirtbag. I do think he abused young girls, and anyone involved in that should pay the price for this. I think it goes a lot deeper than that. I'm not going to say worse, because that's about as bad as it gets, but it most certainly goes deeper and to the highest levels of government, both here in the United States and foreign, with how he was moving money, what he was moving, the arms deals, the intelligence gathering, all of it. The answers are not at the Department of Justice. That's not where we need the Epstein files. The answer to the Epstein files are inside the CIA and the State Department. Those are the agencies where you need to be demanding the Epstein files from. All right, I want to turn now to Kamala Harris. It looks like to me, like she's going to try to run for president again. You believe this? So is this going to be the battle between the two California buffoons, Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris? Well, Kamala Harris made some wild, wild claims on how few Americans can prove they're American citizens?

[Catalina Loof]

You know, the SAVE act would do

[Jennifer Horn]

require that people show a birth certificate or a passport to register to vote. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but it's something like 40% of Americans don't have those documents.

[Grant Stinchfield]

40% of Americans don't have those documents. That doesn't sound right. Well, a friend of mine did some fact checking on all of this. I want to bring her in to help us out here. Host of the Morning answer out on AM 870 in Los Angeles, Jennifer Horn is back. Jen, it's great to see you.

[Jennifer Horn]

Great to see you and happy belated birthday.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Thank you very much, Jen. So 40% of Americans, what's that, 100 million people? A little more than that, maybe. Can you run the numbers here for me?

[Jennifer Horn]

Let's do it. So I was doing my radio show and I played that clip and I did exactly what your face did. I went, 40% of Americans don't have an ID or a birth certificate. I mean, I've seen a lot of ding dongs driving around in Priuses with masks. That can't be 40% of the country. That's that bad, right? So it literally took me three minutes to run a little Google search. So I typed in what is 40% of America? So the number is between 132 and 134 million Americans. So let's just for argument's sake, put that right in the middle and say 40% of the country is 133 million people. So then I said, well, how many of those people have birth certificates? And this is a tough one, Grant. Now how many people do you think would have a birth certificate in this country? I'll help you out. It's over 99% of Americans have a birth certificate. So to give her the benefit of doubt, I know things happen. I typed in how many people have lost, stolen or destroyed birth certificates. The answer is 3.8 million people. So then I took it a step further. It's amazing what you can Google in about 2 1/2 seconds. And I asked how many people have a passport? Because they. A lot of people on the left love to say that everybody doesn't have a passport. Over 51% of the country has a passport. Well, how many of those people have driver's licenses? Do you know that 91% of age eligible Americans have a driver's license? So I even took it a step further because this is fresh in my mind. I just had to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my license. And I forced my. They forced me into getting that real id. And I've been holding off on it. You know that I've been holding off on it, but I had to show a passport and another form of identification, which the Democrats in my state of California love to say, everybody needs a Real ID. Of course, we don't need ID to vote, but we need it for the Real ID at 20. In 2022, 137 million Americans had Real IDs in 2022.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I got to go back to this, because in California where they don't want voter id, that's like the leader leading state where no voter id.

[Jennifer Horn]

Right.

[Grant Stinchfield]

They don't want black people and Hispanics driving, I guess. Is that it? I mean, you had to show ID to, to get a driver's license. This is, this is driving suppression, that is.

[Jennifer Horn]

And imagine that, because, you know, in California, they're really happy to give illegal immigrants driver's license. I don't know why I had to show up and give two forms of identification. It's madness. And so for all of this fear mongering, that's all it is. Kamala Harris, the rest of the Democrats are trying to fear monger into saying that President Trump doesn't want women or people of color to vote. It's insulting, it's nonsense, and it's all filled with lies.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Let me play one more clip from Kamala Harris and see what you think about this.

[Catalina Loof]

Married women, if you changed your name

[Jennifer Horn]

when you got married, it's gonna be different than what's on your birth certificate.

[Greg Hartley]

Right.

[Jennifer Horn]

And what that's going to do in terms of complicating the ability of women to register to vote.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Jen.

[Jennifer Horn]

Yeah. How insulting. Because, you know, you dingbat women, you can't figure out how to go change your name. It's not like people don't do that every time they get married, Grant. I mean, it is just. It's insulting. Whether it's Kamala Harris saying women can't figure this out, or it's Gavin Newsom sitting in front of a group of black voters saying he's just like them and he can't read either these people. If this were President Trump saying any of this, oh, forget about it. But somehow Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom getting get away with being sexist and racist every day.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah. You know what they forget to tell you too, is in the Save America act, it is specifically written out that you can bring your marriage license and match it to your current driver's license as well. So that's taken care of. That's an absolute fallacy of a lie. Lastly, I'll ask you this question. Is she going to run again? Is she running for president, do you think? And would they go head to head? Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris?

[Jennifer Horn]

Yes and yes and yes. Look, these guys are the ultimate frenemies. They love to hate each other. They both know where each other have buried their bodies. So one thing I'll tell you, as much as the idea of Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris anywhere near the presidency makes me shudder, get ready for the primary, pop your popcorn because these two will be vicious with one another.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah. Should be interesting to watch as everything is out there in California. Jennifer Horn, it's great to have you on the program at Jennifer Horn on the platform X. Thank you, Jen.

[Jennifer Horn]

Thank you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, we'll see you soon. Check her out. AM870 out in Los Angeles. All right, folks, listen up. International disputes, inflation, rising national debt, digital currency. There is a never ending list of reasons gold has risen over 700% percent in the last 20 years.

We're still waiting to figure out all the details on that. Then of course, Cuba's basically cut off, not getting a lot of oil to dire straits. And now I'm learning. I don't know, Cuba may become my next vacation spot pretty soon. Listen to this.

[Donald Trump]

The Cuban government is talking with us and they're in a big deal of trouble. As you know they have no money. They have know anything right now, but they're talking with us and maybe we'll have a friendly takeover of Cuba.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Only President Trump can have a friendly takeover of another nation. What is Cuba going to do actually if president doesn't stop, if President Trump doesn't stop or call off the pressure on Cuba? Cuba's in a world of hurt and it is a brutal regime. The Cuban people want freedom. There is no doubt about that. It is time to make a deal. Cuba, you ought to do it, cuz you're on the ropes. Trump again.

[Donald Trump]

Cuba right now is, to put it mildly, a failing nation. And I've been hearing about Cuba. I said before, since I'm a little boy, I've been hearing about Cuba and everybody wanted to change and I can see that happening. Marco Rubio is dealing on it.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Marco Rubio, lots of jobs. Cuba one of them. We'll see how that plays out. Now to the one front and center, Iran. What is going to happen? Is America going to launch a strike against Iranian interests within the next 48 hours? That's what a lot of people are saying. We now have F22s that are now moved into the area, specifically in Israel. This gives us a lot of capabilities. You've got the USS Ford carrier moving into the Middle east, putting itself in a position between Iran and Israel, not to mention the giant armada that is already there. Here's President Trump on Iran.

[Donald Trump]

We're not going to see what's happened for 47 years. Keep going. 47 years we've been doing this with them. The Obama deal was the worst deal. Nobody ever saw a deal so stupid. Right now if you did the Obama deal, if that held, if I didn't terminate it, Red would have a nuclear weapon and it would be a whole different ballgame.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Now is where the politics come in. You got Thomas Massie, this total thorn in President Trump's side, so called Republican, moving with Democrats to try to push a war powers resolution that would stop President Trump from acting on Iran. There could be a vote as early as next week that would actually in my mind speed up the tideline for President Trump. But I think GOP will be able to push back on that resolution. Iran would retaliate against Israel. Now consider this. We have the USS Ford move in between Iran and Israel. That would mean Iran would have to be shooting its ballistic missiles over, around or God forbid, through US interests. That would warrant another direction response from America. Maybe that's by design. Why would you put a $13.3 billion aircraft carrier in harm's way unless you wanted it to be there. It would spark a direct response from the United States. We shall see how this all plays out. I want to bring in now decorated F16 fighter pilot and author of Never Fly Solo, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Rob Waldman is with us. Colonel Waldman, welcome to the program.

[Rob Waldman]

Great to be here, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, welcome to the program, sir. I guess since you're a fighter pilot, these F22s, what does that mean? What capabilities does that give us? You take anything away from these being moved into Israel?

[Rob Waldman]

No, I think it's a, it's a significant move. You know, the absolute complexity, the stealthiness, the weapons sophistication that most Americans don't even know about is going to be absolutely critical in creating a deterrent impact. And also, obviously, Israel, who actually demonstrated their technical and military prowess, what they did last year was amazing as a partner with the United States. So we are getting our ducks in a row. And believe me, if we do strike, which I think it's 50, 50 at this point, and I would lean towards it happening as opposed to not, we're going to have a lot of, a lot of assets in the area, a lot of intel with our partners, Israel by our side.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know, Colonel, I've had a few of my sources that are either in the administration, Dow, or around the administration now, and they all say it's not a question of if, it's when. Is there any timing that would lead you to believe that this would happen sooner than later? How are you looking at how this might play out if you were planning this from a war planning perspective?

[Rob Waldman]

Well, there's always an element of surprise, which is absolutely critical in any military tactic or campaign. But, you know, President Trump had a, had a deadline, and the more he delays that deadline, the more he's going to be showing potential weakness and giving Iran and its proxies more time to put together a plan to potentially attack our assets and our allies or our infrastructure. So he's playing his cards very close to his chest. But as we know, President Trump has a method to his madness. They left the negotiating table today with Iran supposedly happy and with President Trump not. And he's making it very, very clear that if they don't step up, if they don't come to the table with a significant contract, so to speak, in place, that they're going to reduce their nuclear weapons and they're going to stop enriching uranium, then we're going to have to act. And we talk about the red line a lot that Obama never crossed and never took action on. President Trump is a man of action. His administration is one of action. And I would be very surprised if no action is taken on behalf of our president and our military forces.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Colonel, what do you think about the theory of putting the USS forward directly in between Iran and Israel? Right now, a lot of people think it's there to protect Israel. I actually believe it would give the United States an excuse if they fire missiles over our, our aircraft carrier there. That would be considered a direct attack on America. We would. Would we? And could we? And I think we probably would unleash the full force and might of our assets there if they do that.

[Rob Waldman]

I would say so. You know, I do think what's going to happen up front is just a limited campaign. Obviously, if they, if they do put our forces at risk, we will retal. And I'm sure there's a lot going on between our negotiators, both militarily and diplomatically, that are once again saying things that aren't making the news. But I do not think it will be the full force initially, but it will be a very, very powerful strategic strike on their communication. Perhaps some command and control to black out some of their systems. You saw what Israel did last year, taken out the system. The amount of intel that we gained from that and the amount of intel that we have gained is basically putting our forces at less of a risk. But definitely we're going to walk in there with confidence. And you saw we did that in Venezuela. We have a plan. We're demonstrating confidence. And if President Trump doesn't act and, or get a solution, it's going to be, I don't think it's going to bode well for his campaign because he is a man of action and he has to do something.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, he sure does. Lieutenant Colonel Rob Waldman, thank you for coming on the program. Great job. Have a great weekend, and we'll see you soon.

[Rob Waldman]

I hope you, too. Looking forward.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, thank you. All right, let me just play one clip, one quick clip, because this is President Trump. Cut four for the guys behind the glass.

[Donald Trump]

We've had tremendous luck with myself, Soleimani Al Baghdadi, Everything's worked out. And then we do the Midnight Hammer and so many others. Everything's worked out and we want to keep it that way, but we're going to see. Look, it'd be wonderful if they negotiate really in good conscience, good faith and conscience, but they, they are not getting there.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, you heard the colonel say The United States is not happy with these talks. Iran can talk about how great they went. If the United States isn't happy, that doesn't bode well for Iran.

[Jennifer Horn]

All right.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Forward slash voice. Use the promo code voice to save 10%. Our body language and behavior segment with our expert Greg Hartley is next. Who should we put under the microscope? Maybe her. Welcome back, everyone. It's Friday. That means it's time for our body language segment, my favorite segment of the week. Joining me now, host of the behavior panel on YouTube. He is a former military interrogator. Body language and behavior expert Greg Hartley is with us. Greg, welcome to the program.

[Greg Hartley]

Thanks, Grant. Always my pleasure.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, Greg, I was excited to do this because Hillary Clinton goes in and does her testimony. She feigns outrage over this picture being leaked about her. And she does come out and speak. And she says she never met Epstein. Let's roll. Clip one.

[Jennifer Horn]

I don't know how many times I 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]

Greg.

[Greg Hartley]

So, Grant, we've watched her many times and we know when she's feeling duress, she'll cover joints, she'll protect. She'll do the same things you do. But the problem is these people have done this stuff so many times and they get really good at it. An average person might walk in front of a camera and have a hard time telling you what their birthday is. But these people do it so much, they get so comfortable with it, and then they get in control. Even if she was outright lying, she could still do this. And she's doing two things that are characteristic of her. That amused smile that she uses to start to be sarcastic and that head bobble when she's in charge of the conversation. So this is her. This is one on one.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I sense now this is me guessing. I sense she's annoyed. And I think she's super annoyed with her husband.

[Greg Hartley]

Well, we can't tell who she's annoyed with. You know, we say, I can't. Don't have a crystal ball. I can guess an extra step. She probably is really pissed that he got her in this position. Yes, but that's a guess. What I can see is she is irritated and she has that little head bobble thing she does and that snarky smile that she uses to ridicule you when you're asking her questions. So she's irritated for sure.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, let's roll one more clip from her. Outside of the hearing yesterday, I started

[Jennifer Horn]

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.

[Greg Hartley]

All right, Greg, really good body language here. And we saw it in the first one, that dismissal, that lip pursing is disapproval and pushing a person away. That was a great redirect to move into something about where she was being questioned for things had nothing to do with Epstein. A lot easier for her to move off onto a new topic and get control. And she's masterful at it. She's just brilliant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, she is a master at. I'm surprised Bill didn't come out and talk today. We would have done that. That would have been great. But he's another one that's. That's a master of all. You know when he says, I did not have sex with that woman. Were you doing body language? Did you read that as a lie, Greg, or did you?

[Greg Hartley]

Well, I was a soldier. I was a soldier, so I couldn't really talk about the boss. But yeah, at that time. But he said, I did not have sexual relations with that woman. I love that one because he distances all this thing and even declares that woman and clarifies her name, Ms. Lewinsky. So there's no confusion about any other woman. I love how. How Battle Eye that was. He even changed fundamentally body language. Because before that, presidents all did this when they would say something. He did this, and he. People changed their body language afterwards. Really interesting.

[Grant Stinchfield]

It's amazing. Presidents can certainly get people to change body language. Look, I even copy President Trump. I use my hands like this just from watching him do it so often. All right, Lauren Boebert, who's a great friend of this program, she's a personal friend of mine, she released a photo to our buddy Betty Johnson, and she was asked about this coming out of the hearing yesterday. We'll do a little body language on Lauren Boebert.

[Jennifer Horn]

Senator Boebert, can you talk to us about why you sent that picture? I just returned to my hotel room and instead installed the bleach fit software and took a hammer to my iPad. So I guess in regards to any photos, I do not recall.

[Greg Hartley]

This is clearly emulation of what's going on inside the room. This is. I do not recall the bleach, but all that stuff is a reference to Hillary Clinton's commentary, I'm sure. And you can see it in her face. She's amused and kind of snarky with it and kind of playful. If you see her face, there's no stress in her face there. She's just playing the game.

[Grant Stinchfield]

She tweeted out the release of that photo. Didn't kill any ambassadors either. And we know what that was a reference to. President Trump and his State of the Union. I mean, this guy. Speaking of a master, let's watch him cut nine.

[Donald Trump]

The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

[Greg Hartley]

Well, we've seen. We've seen. We've seen the. We've seen the president do the flaming bag of poo on your front porch to a single person before. He just did it to a whole party here. He just said, you either believe in this. You don't. They didn't stand up. And what's interesting body language is watch a couple of them look at each other for some reinforcement about what they should do before sitting there and then dropping their faces to hide from it. That's a really difficult thing to stand up to. I don't think most people have the strength to sit there through it. So interesting. That just means whatever he said.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So the body language on this was more on Democrats for sitting, not knowing what to do. They got set up in a big way. And really, this is not using your noggin and thinking on your feet. No pun intended.

[Greg Hartley]

That's right. That's right. If they were smart, they would have stood up and maybe not clap, but at least stood up and said, hey, yeah, we stand up for that.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, exactly. All right, let's run one more from President Trump. Oh, this is what he was awarding the Medal of Honor to. Eric Slover. Let's listen to that.

[Donald Trump]

In recognition of Eric's actions above and beyond the call of duty, I would now like to ask General Jonathan Braga to present Chief Warrant Officer Slover with our nation's highest military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Greg?

[Greg Hartley]

Well, I'll just say this. Watching. This is hard for me to sit down. You know, if you feel like you need to stand up when a guy that's just gone through this is there. What I love about this is watch his body language. He's contained. You can see the emotion in him. He's containing that emotion with blink rate. And who wouldn't? This is the highest honor anybody can get. You only see one time he adapts. And that's right there on. Right there on that. On his walker. And this is military bearing at his best. What a fantastic version of a soldier.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And when you say adapt, what. What was CO on there?

[Greg Hartley]

Oh, yeah, thanks. Just a small. To adjust to a stressful situation or a situation you're not comfortable in. We make adaptive movements. We may rub our hands or play with our nails. And we only see one little grip with his thumb in the entire thing. What a great soldier standing.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know, these guys, they never think they're heroes. I've. I've talked to a whole bunch of them and they never think they're heroes. They get in really uncomfortable positions in this. But God bless that man and you too, Greg, for serving the way you did for us to everybody that put a flag on their shoulder. All right, last one I do not have as much respect for. I want to play this because I've really made it my mission to try to call out members of Congress who trade on insider information. Play the Nancy Pelosi clip for me. I want to see your reaction to this, Greg Put forth.

[Jennifer Horn]

We thought it could pass, but it was clear that it wasn't going to make it to the House and the Senate. But any of it. He gives his shout out.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I don't pay any attention to him. What I'm concerned about is our democracy,

[Jennifer Horn]

which he is destroying even in the 250th year anniversary.

[Grant Stinchfield]

But we saved the democracy at the kitchen table.

[Greg Hartley]

Yeah, watch that transition. She tries to trail off and say, we're going to do this. Even though she's probably one of the worst at doing this. She trails off and says, we're going to try to do that. And then she has to try to turn on Trump and see her raise her hands and shift directions. She redirects and makes it a policy departing message. This woman's been heckling president since Reagan, literally, so you would think nothing would shake her.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know, I'm not sure I've ever seen her bring her hands all the way up to her face almost. Does that tell you anything?

[Greg Hartley]

All she's doing she's trying to get the message across. She had just stumbled earlier when they were talking about, about. I can't think of her name now, but about one of the other. Warren standing up. Warren standing up, yeah. And so I almost called her a derogatory name. So anyway, when we.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You can call her Pocahontas on this show.

[Greg Hartley]

Not that, but I was just calling her the fake Indian. But yeah, when she's raising her hands and doing this, I think it's because she's trying to get back to party line. She's putting some control. Remember, we watched, we watched Biden do that all the time. Try to get to televangelist because you can be on message easier.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Interesting. Greg, always great work. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for coming on tonight, as always.

[Greg Hartley]

My pleasure. Thanks.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, Please check out greg's [e-mail] that's reedbodylanguage.com and his YouTube show, the behavior your panel. All right, leftists have been insulting Trump's State of the Union address. But how many of them even watched it? Okay, this is a good one.

[Greg Hartley]

Next,

[Grant Stinchfield]

I'm going to paint a broad brush over all Democrats. They're liars, most of them. I'm sure not all of them are, but most of them are. I want you to watch this clip of a Daily Wire reporter who went and interviewed university students the day before President Trump's State of the Union address. The day before.

[Jennifer Horn]

College kids are telling us Trump State of the Union didn't go so well. The only problem, it's tomorrow. Rate Trump State of the union speech one out of 10. One's the worst. 10, the best negatives and why? I think we all know a lot of reasons. What about the State of the union last night, 1 to 10, it was

[Donald Trump]

like a 1 or 2.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I mean, it was all over the place.

[Jennifer Horn]

Gonna give it a one. And why do you say one? I just, I don't think he's very articulate.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Articulate? You didn't even see it. So those people just lied to her. Why wouldn't they say one person, by the way, at the end did say, hey, isn't it tomorrow? So they're willing to lie now. Where would they pick up this behavior from? How about people like Jimmy Kimmel, the failed late night host, listen to him. And Trump just, he said zero illegal aliens have been allowed to the United States on his watch. But the door is always open to those who come in legally to be his next wife. So that's something he bragged about, ending DEI. He bragged about kicking 2 million people people off food stamps. It was like a Christmas message from the Grinch. Here's the only problem. Kimmel didn't see it either. He tapes that show at 4:00 in the afternoon. President Trump's speech wasn't until 9:00 Eastern. So you see the problem here. And then, of course, we could go all the way down to the Democrats response to the State of the Union. It happens right after. So they didn't actually hear or see the State of the Union, which tells me that Abigail Spamberger, the Governor of Virginia, is also a liar.

[Jennifer Horn]

In his speech tonight, the President did what he always does. He lied, he scapegoated, and he distracted. And he offered no real solutions to our nation's pressing challenges, so many of which he is actively making worse. He tries to divide us, he tries to enrage us, to pit us against one another.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So clearly it was written before the speech because Trump didn't do any of those things. What he did do was offer up solutions. He talked about his prescription medication plan. He talked about how he's working for peace throughout the globe. He talked about his ways to bring down inflation. Drill, baby, drill. He talked about all of these things. Trump accounts to make sure that people have a path forward when it comes to prosperity. The Democrats simply lie. They told you what they expected to happen, even though it didn't actually happen. It's really pretty despicable behavior. All right, Ronald Reagan shows his love for President Trump. We'll talk about that next. All right, welcome back, everyone. Let's see what. What Is this on AF1, Air Force One, Ted Cruz asked Dennis Quaid, who played Ronald Reagan, by the way, how Reagan compares to Trump. Let's see. I'd like to ask President Reagan what you think of President Trump. I think he's like me on steroids. That's pretty cool. Boy. I'll tell you, Quaid is really making the rounds as a conservative. He is coming more and more over to our side every single day that I see this guy. And that's good news that, folks, is going to do it for us. I'm gonna head to the Dallas Mavericks game. You know, I'm thinking I want them to lose the rest of the season so we can get another number one one pick in the draft next year. I know none of you care about any of this, but that's where I'm going for for my Friday night. I hope all of you have a fabulous weekend. God bless you all. Stitchfield's army rolls. Don't forget my website, Grant stitchfield.com. that's Grant stinchfield.com. you can reach out to me there. I try to respond all the emails that come in, so check me out. We'll see you Monday, folks. Again, have a great weekend.
