Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Minneapolis Unrest and Prospective Military Deployment

Situation Recap

• U.S. military, under Secretary Pete Hegseth, is preparing to deploy 1,500 active-duty personnel—potentially to Minneapolis to counter street violence linked to recent protests.
  • 11th Airborne Division, noted for cold weather response, is on alert.
  • National Guard units in Minnesota also stand ready; National Guardsmen to wear yellow vests to assist law enforcement.
• Minneapolis is described as facing increasing violence, painting protestors as “antifa goons,” “liberal agitators,” and highlighting an element referred to as a “Somali contingent” allegedly connected to significant fraud and unrest.

Notable Quotes

• Grant Stinchfield (Host, 00:24):
  “That cold weather, though, does not seem to be stopping the mob…resorting to violence is nothing for these people. It gets worse than that.”
• Stephen Miller (with White House, cited, 04:42):
  “These are acts of insurrection against the laws of the United States and against the sovereignty of the United States.”

Legal and Constitutional Questions

• Discussion of the Insurrection Act and the unprecedented risk of two U.S. military units—federal troops and state National Guard—potentially facing off.
• President Trump’s perspective (paraphrased, 06:02):
  “If I needed it [Insurrection Act], I’d use it. I don’t think there’s any reason right now, but if I needed it, I’d use it. It’s very powerful.”
• Col. Rob Bayness, (USAF, Ret., 06:55):
  “...If the President decides to send in the Arctic-based paratroopers, then he needs to federalize the Minnesota National Guard so that there’s only one command structure…what’s happening is the governor and the mayor and other elected officials…are in a State of insurrection. Literally.”

2. Law Enforcement, Church Incidents, and Community Tensions

Church Invasion and the FACE Act

• Protestors entered a church service in Minneapolis, supposedly targeting ICE agents or police they believed were in the congregation.
• Host references the FACE Act (federal law prohibiting disruptions at places of worship—specifically by force or threats), asserting this incident is likely to face federal investigation.

Pastor’s Response and Moral Framing

• Pastor David Scarlett calls the church incursion “truly showing we are in a world of spiritual warfare, good vs. evil,” and supports pastors taking a stand to protect their congregations.
• Harmeet Dhillon (now DOJ) assures listeners the federal government is pursuing charges where warranted.

Media Critique

• Don Lemon (referred to as “Don Lamont”) was present at the scene, sparring with churchgoers and offering counter-arguments about immigrant crime statistics.
  • Stinchfield attacks Lemon’s claims and questions his journalistic legitimacy.
• Quote, Don Lemon (cited, 15:59):
  “Did you know that undocumented people and immigrants commit far less crime than American citizens?”
• Stinchfield’s response:
  “Legal immigrants commit crimes at a much lower rate than American citizens…But the moment you became an illegal alien coming into this country, you’re already a criminal.”

---

3. Immigration Reform and Trump Administration's “Gold Card” Plan

• Stinchfield reports President Trump is considering lowering the minimum investment required for his proposed “immigration gold card” from $5 million to $1 million.
• Stinchfield urges Trump to maintain the gold card as a premium option, separate from the existing EB-5 investment program (currently $1 million), which he lauds for job creation and economic impact.
  • “EB5 is a MAGA immigration system, done right... creates about 45 American jobs per investment.” (21:22)
  • "America doesn't need more cheap labor; what America needs is more investment." (22:13)

4. Iran Segment—Protests, Regime Change, and U.S. Policy

Background

• Iranian state TV hacked—exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi delivered a message pushing for international support and possible military strikes.
• Stinchfield expresses belief that any regime change in Iran must be led by the Iranian people; U.S./Israeli strikes remain a debated option.

Key Guest: Shirin Naraman

• Naraman, a survivor of regime torture, expresses hope for ongoing protests and insists on Iranian-led change, rejecting the Crown Prince’s call for foreign strikes.
• Quote (Shirin Naraman, 30:09):
  “We don’t need somebody else to do the regime change…We are saying that even having very tough measurements, political firm decisions and policies make the difference.”
• Recommends expelling regime diplomats and supporting the National Council of Resistance of Iran, led by Maryam Rajavi, as the legitimate vehicle for change.

Political Analysis

• Discussion critiques the media’s focus on Crown Prince Pahlavi, labeling him a “trust fund baby” without legitimacy or a base in Iran.
• Naraman, 32:36:
  “For me, it’s the National Council of Resistance of Iran…led by a woman, Madame Maryam Rajavi, who has a ten-point plan for the future of Iran.”

5. China and Agricultural Biosecurity in Texas

Chinese Mystery Seeds

• Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller raises alarms about unsolicited “mystery seeds” arriving from China—potentially a biosecurity threat (invasive weeds, possible pathogens, or bio-agents).
• Miller urges recipients not to plant, trash, or flush the seeds; suggests either reporting to authorities or baking them to sterilize (if concerned about government agents).
• Commissioner Miller, 36:37:
  “You don’t know, it could have another COVID variant in there... I think it’s possibly testing our biosecurity system and we’re failing.”
• Discusses broader Chinese intent to weaken U.S. agriculture, including land purchases near sensitive military sites.

Quote (Miller, 39:46):

“I raised this alarm eight years ago when a retired Chinese military official bought 120,000 acres in Del Rio next to Laughlin Air Force Base…”

7. Rhetoric on Slavery and Race—Critique of Democratic Talking Points

• Stinchfield reacts sharply to Rep. Jim Clyburn's claim that Republicans want to rollback emancipation-era gains.

  • Plays a Clyburn soundbite implying modern conservative efforts threaten to restore 19th-century injustices.

• Stinchfield retorts:

  • “To tell you something, and I want to be very clear about this. We do not want slavery back in the United States. We, being Republicans, make America great again. Conservatives.”

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, good evening everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. The United States military, under the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hagseth is readying 1500 active duty members of our military to possibly be deployed to Minneapolis, Minnesota. This comes out of Alaska, the 11th Airborne, which is known for its rapid response in extreme cold weather situations, which clearly Minneapolis is. That cold weather though, does not seem to be stopping the mob. Open the door. That folks is a conservative inside there, which they literally tried to get to him. They don't. Again, resorting to violence is nothing for these people. It gets worse than that. Apparently, if you support ice, you will be beaten. Look at this. They literally hit him over the head with flagpoles. It is a dangerous situation and yet the police virtually do nothing. Now, what you're watching there are the antifa goons, the liberal agitators, but don't forget the Somali contingent in all of this. You know, the Somalians are the ones responsible allegedly for committing $8 billion in fraud. Well, independent journalist Nick Sorter had to come face to face with the Somali mob after his camera was stolen. What did she just do? Oh, okay.

[John Jubilee]

It's ok.

[Grant Stinchfield]

She took next camera. She just stole next camera. I mean, look at this. Nick is like sliding down the ice. He could get dragged underneath that car. They stole his camera. What are you so worried about? What would be on the camera that has you so concerned? Unless somehow you perceive yourself as being guilty. I don't know. That's one possibility. All of it is extra dangerous. Now, the criminality, the violence, as you saw, the thievery is all unfolding in Minneapolis. Ultra blue Minneapolis, where the good guy, well, he is apparently the problem when it comes to police. My point is you guys not need to not be in this area. I can't tell you you have to leave. But if we're getting calls, you guys harassing people. I mean, driving around is not harassing. We were the ones being harassed. And 100, that's fine. I'm just saying if it rises to that level, because they're saying you guys are. Well, that's the other thing about us too, is like we're journalists.

[John Jubilee]

Like people are trying to intimidate us out of here for doing our first.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I know, but I don't. We don't need this stuff to keep happening. They stole his camera. You don't need this stuff to keep happening. It started with the 8 billion in fraud and now we have violence on the streets of Minneapolis all because you have a mayor and a governor encouraging it all. Mayor Fry and Governor Walls and the lapdog police chief through it all are siding with the crooks and all, all of these guys. It is a dangerous combination. Here's Stephen Miller with the White House.

[Sid Miller]

So ICE, over and over and over.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Again goes out into the community to.

[Sid Miller]

Find and arrest these fugitives who have.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Since committed additional egregious crimes after they.

[Sid Miller]

Were released by Fry and Waltz and Ellison. These are acts of insurrection against the laws of the United States and against.

[Grant Stinchfield]

The sovereignty of the United States. Foreign illegal aliens who broke into this country. Now, I told you, President Trump is calling up acts, active duty military to possibly be deployed to Minneapolis. Governor Walls has called up the National Guard. The National Guard will now be wearing yellow vests to assist with law enforcement. Now, I want you to consider this. Not since the Civil War have we had two divisions of the United States military that could possibly come face to face two different military units made up of Americans that could be forced to come face to face. If that's not the definition of an insurrection, I don't know what is. Here's President Trump.

[John Jubilee]

Well, the Insurrection act, which has been.

[Sid Miller]

Used by 48% of the presidents as of this moment.

[John Jubilee]

The Insurrection act also, if you look at it, I believe it was Bush, the elder Bush.

[Sid Miller]

He used it, I think 28 times.

[John Jubilee]

It's been used a lot.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And if I needed it, I'd use it.

[Sid Miller]

I don't think there's any reason right now to use it, but if I.

[John Jubilee]

Needed it, I'd use it.

[Sid Miller]

It's very powerful.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, Mr. President, if Tim Walsh somehow unleashes his state National Guard, which can come under the purview of the president if he activates them to actively inhibit federal agents, again, I don't know how you look at that as anything but an insurrection. I want to Bring on now 32 year US Air Force combat veteran and founder of Gator PAC, Colonel Rob Bayness is back with us. Colonel, great to have you on Good.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

To be with you, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Colonel, am I overstating the possibility of two military units coming face to face in the United States and the tinderbox that that could create?

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

Unfortunately, no, you're not overstating that case. And if the President decides to send in the Arctic based paratroopers, then he needs to federalize the Minnesota National Guard so that there's only one command structure and one commander under federal law. Because what's happening is the Governor and the mayor and other political officials that are elected and the police chief, I might add, of Minneapolis are in a state of insurrection, literally. They are opposing enforcement of federal law. They are depriving their citizens of rights. The incident at the Southern Baptist Church yesterday morning, there were Minnesota Minneapolis police officers and Minnesota State Police on the scene. And they allowed that crowd, but disruptors to go inside that church and put fear into the eyes of little children and young families and babies and put them at risk and stood by and did nothing to enforce the law because it's against the law to do that. You're. You're not allowed to go protest inside a church during search. Church. Church services. The church is not the government.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah. And we're going to cover this church service at length here in a little bit. But I want to drill back down on this idea of two military units now that possibly could be based in Minneapolis. Can the President activate the National Guard if Walls has already activated them, or does that create some kind of legal mumbo. Mumbo jumbo?

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

When the President declares the Insurrection act, he will federalize those National Guard units that the governor is trying to activate already and they'll come under federal command and the governor will no longer be in command of those troops. That has to happen or you run the risk of them getting in a fight against each other.

[Grant Stinchfield]

As a commander who has had men under his command, what is this like for someone in a position of being in command of these troops have to face? I mean, it looks to me like Governor Walz and Mayor Fry are putting these members of our military in a very precarious position now.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

Well, they certainly are under the current situation because they're not enforcing the laws equally for all citizens. So even if there is no federal troops coming into the state, they're putting these National Guard forces in grave danger of getting caught between protesters and people that they're trying to attack and not having a good clear order as to what to do about it. Because if the police and the state police are being told to stand down, do you think the National Guard should Be in there enforcing law, doing law enforcement duties. When they are in between those two forces, that puts them in an impossible and a very risky situation.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Let me give you an example of some of the confusion out there and the position that these brave men and women are being put into. This is a Minnesota National Guard spokesperson talking about what they may face. Listen, and obviously we're monitoring the situation. You know, we're trying to keep the calm here in Minnesota with the resources that we have. And you know, we serve in two functions. We serve in a title 32 capacity where the Governor is the commander in chief and that's what we're doing here today. And we also serve in a capacity in a title 10 where the president is a commander in chief. Chief. And we routinely serve in both of those capacities all the time. All right, so the other aspect to all of this is now you're putting members of the military into an urban situation. In the United States. I know they train for this stuff, but this is really not the training of the United States military, is it Colonel? I mean, we think going fighting wars and killing enemies, not trying to keep the peace.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

Well, the National Guard is trained pretty effectively in crowd control, riot control and keeping the peace and those sorts of activities. They routinely do that under the command of the governors of the United States. It's more rare for them to do it once they've been federalized, but it has happened before. You know, when Dwight Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard, those National Guard officers and non commissioned officers and enlisted personnel were responsible for enforcing the law so kids could go to school without being molested and those kinds of things. So it's not uncommon to do this. What's uncommon is if the Governor tries to place the National Guard troops in opposition to federal troops. And therein the answer is that the President federalizes those National Guard troops and they are assumed into the federal forces that are on the ground there in Minnesota and the Governor no longer has any control over them. Unfortunately, that's the situation that we're in.

[Grant Stinchfield]

It's, it's a wild scene up there. I appreciate you weighing in on it all, Colonel Rob man, it's great to see you. Thank you, sir.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

Thank you, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Absolutely. All right, so now to what the Colonel mentioned. These leftist chaos creators are not doing a very good job of recruiting support for their dopey cause of being anti ice and hating America. They invaded a church on Sunday where people will were worshiping. Watch this. Folks. A church may be open to the public, but it is still private. And it also falls under the Face Act. The Face act was created in the 1990s that says you cannot go disrupt by using force or threats. Anybody worshiping in a place of worship. But that's exactly what they did. They now face a federal investigation. And that's becoming very, very clear. All of this happened because these goons got word that there may have been police officers and ICE agents in their worshiping. Drink your coffee.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

You got your jewelry, you have your.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Nice clothes, but what do you do? What do you do to stand for.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

Your Somali and Latino communities?

[Grant Stinchfield]

I'm not going to comment. You have no comment. Exactly. As you can see, all these pretend Christians, all these comfortable white people who are living lavish, comfortable lives while children are dragged into concentration camps, you're living real life, nice lives with your lattes, doing absolutely nothing for your Latino and.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

Somali brothers and sisters.

[Grant Stinchfield]

It's unbelievable. That same blockhead offered us this today, and it's gonna buy him and did a federal investigation as well. He dared it. Yesterday, I went into a church with Nekima Armstrong and I protested these white supremacists. A pastor of the church is a ICE leader in the city. How can you be a pastor and be a ICE agent? Those Nazis. Come and get me. Pam Bondi, you traitorous. Now, don't threaten President Trump, his Department of justice, or his federal agents. Not a good move. Who was with these goons? How about former CNN anchor Don Lemon? That's right. He was with them the whole step of the way, claiming that what he was doing was journalism. Not so much. He ended up arguing with a churchgoer who described feeling angry and violated by the invasion of his church. Listen to Don Lamont and that churchgoer I've been watching from New York with a battering ram into someone's private property, and there's no recourse. There's no. You understand what I'm saying? This is all part of a much larger dialogue, in my opinion. No.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

On one.

[Grant Stinchfield]

On one side are people who watched a previous administration bring 12 million people in over the course of four years, and many of them undocumented, many of them criminals. Look at these idiots. I mean, seriously. So Don Lamon then says that the illegal immigrants are all such great, great people, and he literally played his perfect role as a propagandist. Watch. One administration caused a great deal of chaos and havoc and danger for American citizens, and another is trying to correct that. Do you believe that? Why? Honestly? Let me tell you just on the journalist. Yes, I am. I want to give you the facts. No, no, no. Did you know that undocumented people and immigrants commit far less crime than American citizens? We're done here. We're done here. Than natural born Americans. You're not.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

You won't listen.

[Grant Stinchfield]

If you could ask. I'm giving you the facts.

[Pastor David Scarlett]

Give me facts.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I would have a conversation. But I can respond to you. He claims immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than American citizens. I can tell you this. Legal immigrants commit crimes at a much lower rate than American citizens. That's. That's correct. But the moment you became an illegal alien coming into this country, you're already a criminal. So that doesn't even make any sense because that's a crime. And we have no idea to measure the number of illegals that are here to even bring that statistic forward. We certainly know they're doing grave damage in large numbers. I want to bring in now founder of His Glory Ministries. He's a former Marine. Well, you're always a Marine. And he's author of all for His Glory. Pastor David Scarlett is with us. Pastor David, thanks for coming on the program. Thank you for your service to this country as well.

[Sid Miller]

Thank you, Grant.

[Pastor David Scarlett]

It's a pleasure to be on.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, it's great having you on, Pastor. I'd like to get your reaction to what you just witnessed there of this invasion of this church.

[Pastor David Scarlett]

It's just absolutely despicable what is going on in our country. This is truly showing you we are in a world of spiritual warfare, good versus evil. And if there are people in the United States of America on the fence not thinking we are in a spiritual war. You just saw the wickedness in inside a church of all places. And trying to spin it that that is something for the good. Don Lamond is not doing anything positive for this country and trying to masquerade as a journalist. He's no journalist. This was just disgusting.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Let me play you a clip from harmeet. Dylan, cut 25 for the guys behind the glass offering up her perspective on this. She, of course, is now with the Department of Justice. I know people are frustrated. Where are the arrests, et cetera. Let me explain that for you and your team, Benny, because state prosecutors could have arrested some of these people yesterday. They don't have some of the same hurdles that we do in the doj. We will pursue charges in this case. I see various crimes that have occurred. Exactly what they are.

[Sharin Naraman]

I'm not going to flag, but the.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Face act has been mentioned as one of the predicates there. So, Pastor, I mentioned the Face act which basically says, hey, you can't go disrupt a religious service. Threats and force and violence and all the things that they certainly look like they were doing there. As a pastor, if this was to happen in your church, you're fully within your rights to ask anyone you want to leave. Am I correct? How do you deal with something like this?

[Pastor David Scarlett]

That's exactly right. You know, that pastor in that situation handled himself for the love of Christ. He was just filled with love and handled it a lot, a lot better.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Than I probably would have.

[Pastor David Scarlett]

I think my marine in me would.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Have come out a little bit and.

[Pastor David Scarlett]

Said, not today, Satan. But you have every right, that pastor to stand up and protect his flock.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Let me play a clip of the pastor for you to show you how well spoken and how calm he remained through all of this. Cut 21. The right. Well, you couldn't really hear it, but he was basically doing what he could to calm the situation down. Pastor, I'll give you the last word on all of this.

[John Jubilee]

Yeah, that's the spiritual.

[Pastor David Scarlett]

The Holy Spirit was in him, calming him down to come up with a solution. And this is happening in the United States of America. Everybody watching this today, you choose. What side are you on? You can't be on the fence anymore. Satan owns the fence. It's time to be all in all for our King of Kings and Lord of Hosts. And it's a tipping point in this country.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, Pastor Scarlett, amen to that. And I think you summed it up best in the beginning when you said, we now face a religious war. Our religion is under attack in this country, and I appreciate you putting up such a strong fight for it. Thank you, sir.

[Pastor David Scarlett]

Thank you, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right. Absolutely. I want to turn now to a request to President Trump. I am learning that there is a push within his administration to lower the $5 million price tag of President Trump's signature immigration gold card to $1 million. Please, Mr. President, do not do this. At $5 million, the gold card serves as a bold solution to attract wealthy immigrants who can contribute to this country immediately. That is true. That $5 million payment would help pay down national debt. Terrific. But here is my red line. The Gold Card must not replace the most successful America first immigration program that we have, the EB5 investment program, that comes in at around $1 million. Okay. Now, EB5 is a MAGA immigration system. Done right, foreign investors put about a million dollars of their own money into American businesses in exchange for legal residency, not citizenship. No passport giveaways, no shortcuts, just Investment, not a payoff. Now, I've confirmed that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. In my mind, the best Commerce secretary we have ever had, wants to lower Trump's gold card to $1 million, about the same price of an EB5 investment. That would be disastrous. It would essentially gut the EB5 program. So here's the smart move, Mr. Secretary and Mr. President. Keep the gold card at $5 million, a premium option for ultra wealthy foreign individuals. But leave the EB5 exactly where it is. Because EB5 works. Listen to this. From 2016 to 2019, EB5 generated $75 billion in investment. It created 1.7 million American jobs and paid $122 billion in wages, all without costing taxpayers a dime. Now think about this. Each EB5 investment creates about 45American jobs. That is not immigration replacing Americans. That's immigration and employing Americans. So if Washington wants to protect US workers, EB5 isn't the problem. H1B is. H1B imports cheap labor. It's proven to be ripe for abuse. On the other hand, EB5 imports capital. It's clear to me America doesn't need more cheap labor. What America needs is more investment. And that is exactly what President Trump has been working towards. All right. Every workout, injury or surgery creates a microscopic good and bad damage inside the body. Muscle inflammation and tissue breakdown can peak within 72 hours after physical stretch. Which is why recovery matters just as much as training.

Welcome back everyone. I'll tell you what, pretty amazing Iranian state TV was hacked. So one of the main dudes when it comes to resistance, exile Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi gave a message to the Iranian people and it was powerful. I actually believe the United States may have helped in this hack. I really do. This is crown prince talking to Fox News over the weekend.

[Sid Miller]

What changes the odds in favor of.

[Grant Stinchfield]

The people that can finally take over the system and push to a complete collapse depends on calculated strategic strikes against this. American strikes. This will be. It could be American strike, it could be Israeli strike.

[Sid Miller]

It could be whatever the Iranian people.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Now are looking as the cavalry coming because we can only hold the fourth.

[Sid Miller]

Up to a point.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, it is clear to me the fall of the Iranian regime would benefit the world. But the Iranian people are going to have to be the ones that do this. Now does America help Iran with, as he said, targeted strikes? Maybe that will be left up of course to President Trump. Could Israel do it? Maybe in my mind that might be a better idea. Let Israel go handle it. They're closer to and have a vested interest in doing all of that. Now the crown prince, exiled crown prince also called on the Iranian army to break from the Islamic Republic and side with the people. This is Ted Cruz.

[Sid Miller]

Iran funds terrorists all across the globe, including sending terrorists to, among other places, Venezuela and targeting Americans.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Right now there are over a million Iranians that are showing unbelievable courage standing.

[Sid Miller]

Up against this tyrannical regime.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And I got to say President Trump.

[Sid Miller]

I think has been very strong in.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Telling the regime, number one, we stand.

[Sid Miller]

With the people, do not target, do not murder the protesters.

[Grant Stinchfield]

For all of my friends who don't like involvement like this from America, I can tell you this. After President Trump went and took out the nuclear reactors, if there was ever going to be a big time respons around, that would have been it. They're debilitated. They can't do anything to us. There are some targeted strikes. The only thing we'd have to worry about is those lone wolves possibly being activated here in the United States, which most certainly is a concern. But the bottom line is they want us all dead anyway. And if they could activate them now, I am sure they would already be doing that. On with me now. Former Iranian regime political prisoner who was arrested as a teenager for her activism in the 1980s. She was tortured and witnessed the executions of children and pregnant prisoners while detained. She is now a voice for the oppressed Iranian people. Sharin Naraman is with us. Sharon, welcome to the program.

[Sharin Naraman]

Thank you. Good evening. Thank you for having me.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, Sharon, after everything I described that you have been through, you must be hopeful of what you're seeing now. Saddened, I'm sure, though, it's still the killing and violence against your people by the regime.

[Sharin Naraman]

Well, hopefully, because we've been fighting for past 47 years. We have fought before in 1978 revolution to oust Shah because he was a dictator. And we want a Republic of Iran. So I'm hopeful because Iranian people also want a free, non nuclear democratic Republic of Iran. And we have been paying a very heavy price ever since because we successfully kicked out the crown and then a turban came in and started killing and executing. And we are seeing it right now. The world is seeing it right now. I was among those that was arrested in the early 80s, but unfortunately, I had to see so many deaths in my life, you know, besides what happened on me, but what I witnessed every night, every afternoon, calling Elisa and taking them for execution. So that was a thing that I had to deal with when I was only 17. But we've been fighting. We have been fighting for our freedom and liberty and it's very hopeful. And we look forward to see an independent, free Iran, which can be done only by us. We are not asking, I don't think any of us are asking for boots on the ground. And also, frankly, US Has a bad experience in Iraq and Afghanistan and we don't need that because people are ready. People are asking.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Can I ask you. So the exiled crown prince basically said, hey, we could use some targeted strikes, whether it's from America or Israel. Do you agree with that and what would your message be to President Trump and how he can help?

[Sharin Naraman]

Not at all, because we don't need somebody else to do the regime change. And that shows that this person, Reza Pahlavi, doesn't have what it takes, what it means. He doesn't have a leadership, he doesn't have a base in Iran. And that's why he wants somebody else to do, do the job for him. I'm sure President Trump knows that and he doesn't agree with this, that they do the job for him. We are saying that even having very tough measurements, political firm decisions and policies make a difference. If you shut down all their embassies or offices in America and ask our allies in Europe, shut down embassies, expel all the diplomats, all the attaches that we have under religion or cultural reasons that are Here, kick them out and stand up with the Iranian people.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Why do you think it is? You know, the media can be kingmakers and the media is pushing this, this exiled crown prince as the next de facto leader is the leader of the resistance. It sounds to me like you don't agree with that idea. Why him?

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

I don't know.

[Sharin Naraman]

Maybe they feel that maybe there is, this is the only thing, only person. But this person, because he doesn't have it. He doesn't have a leader. He's not a leadership material. He never worked in his life. He never finished any project in his life. He's a trust fund baby. He's so unattached to Iran. He never condoned what his father did. Savak before revolution. Savak which was an intelligent minister of the Pahlavi, they were ruling by books. You are not able. There was no freedom or democracy. But he never condones it. He never said condemn it. And he doesn't say that I reject what my father did. Instead, his supporters here, they wrapped themselves with the SAVAK flags and they are chanting. So you can see that this is a recipe for a disaster. Go ahead.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Interesting, interesting thoughts and real quick because I'm short on time here. But your belief of who should lead Iran, is there somebody inside the country now that could do this? If the people manage to get control fairly quickly, if you can.

[Sharin Naraman]

For me, it's National Council of Resistance of Iran that has thousands and thousands of resistance units inside of Iran. It's led by a woman, Madame Mariam Rajali, who has a 10 point plan for the future of Iran. And there are thousands and thousands of us that we are fighting voluntarily without getting paid for anything to have a free, democratic, non nuclear republic of Iran. We Iran's people deserve it. And don't forget this land, this beautiful land was based on fighting monarchists. And that's what our founding fathers did. So that's exactly what we have. We have a vision for the future of Iran.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That that group you mentioned has great respect. They come on this program a lot. I'm impressed with your affiliation with them and I pray for the people of Iran, I really do. And thank you for your voice and thank you for coming on. God bless you. I'm glad you're safe. I know it was a long time ago, but I can only imagine what that must have been like. Thank you, Sharon.

[Sharin Naraman]

Thank you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Thank you as well. All right, from Iran to their best friend China. China is engaging now, it appears in eco terrorism in my home state of Texas. What's up with These seeds, we're gonna talk to the Ag Commissioner here in Texas. My buddy Sid Miller's on next. Welcome back, everyone. Is it me or has China been eerily quiet lately? I don't know. To me that makes me nervous. But then I see this story. There's nothing quiet about this. Coming into Dallas, Texas, where these Chinese seeds being sent to people. And now we're learning that these seeds are being sent all over the place to people. They may be invasive plants which could cause all kinds of damage to our crops. This may be an attack on our system of agriculture here in the United States. It is not far fetched. The Agriculture Commissioner in Texas, Sid Miller, is sounding the alarm about of all of this, and he wants anyone who would receive these seeds to report it. So I figured I'd bring on my friend Sid Miller, the Agriculture Commissioner in Texas. Commissioner, welcome to the program. Good to see you.

[Sid Miller]

Good to see you again, Grant. Good to be back from my friend.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so what do you make of these mystery seeds now? Flooding post office boxes in Texas?

[Sid Miller]

Well, they just show up. No one orders these seeds. They're all different. It's not the same thing over and over again. They're, you know, unsolicited. The scary thing about it being mystery seeds. On top of that, there's mystery liquids come with some of them. We've even had mystery plants show up, you know, bare root plants. So the problem is we've tested some of these seeds and some of them are noxious weed seeds that we don't need in our crops. Others are aquatic, invasive aquatic plants that we don't need in our rivers and streams, you know, clogging up our intake pipes. Excuse me. So I caution everybody, do not. I wouldn't. I wouldn't even open the package. You don't know, it could have another COVID variant in there that you can't see. Some kind of virus, some kind of bacteria. I think it's possibly testing our biosecurity system and we're failing.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Wow. So they come in and these invasive species you mentioned, some of them that aren't good, what is the. What would be the goal? Does this stuff spread very quickly? Could it do serious damage?

[Sid Miller]

Well, it could. One is, you know, aquatic weed that would just, you know, in a matter of a few days, cover up our streams, our lakes, you know, clog up our water systems. And these noxious weeds, we don't want to get them started. So here's what I recommend. Men, do not throw them in the trash. They'll sprout in our landfill. Do not flush them down the toilet. They'll sprout in our waterways. I'd like you to call us at 1-800-TAIL-TDA. Let me send an inspector out, and we'll pick them up, we'll test them, we'll dispose of them properly. For goodness sakes, don't plan. You know, this is just too dangerous. We just don't want to do that. You don't want to risk even opening the package. Now, I will say this, and I do not recommend this, but you know, there's some people out there that don't want government people coming on their property, right? So if you're one of those and you just don't want to call me and have an inspector sent out, put them in on a cookie sheet, put them in the oven at 350 to 400 for 20 or 30 minutes.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That.

[Sid Miller]

That should kill the germination. Then you can do whatever you want to with.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, this is why I love you and Texas, because you understand how real conservatives think sometimes. They don't want some government agents showing up on their speaker one. And so you figure out a way. So. A way around it.

[Sid Miller]

That's.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That's the spirit of Texas, Commissioner. I'll ask you this, though. What really concerns me is China. China. This is just one aspect of their attack on America. How concerned are you about China, what its goals are for America and specifically here in Texas?

[Sid Miller]

Well, you know, China's not our friend. You know, they don't like us. These seeds could just be a test of our biosecurity system. You know, they could easily have cholera, hoof and mouth disease, anthrax, ricine, any host of biological weapons, and that's how they'll attack us. They're doing that now, actually, with. With fentanyl, a product called fentanyl. Fentanyl could actually be in these packages. You don't know. I'm not trying to alarm and scare everybody, but I do want you to be cautious with these seeds. You know, take it seriously.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, let me play this. This sound bite about China and its quest to buy up farmland. Roll that.

[Sid Miller]

Look, they're buying, as you know. Well, they're. They're buying farmland all over the United States, not just next to key military installations, but they're buying farmland with the purpose of controlling American agricultural production of key crops in specific geographies. You don't do that if you're not planning asymmetric activity.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Commissioner, what's Texas doing to make sure that's not Happening. I know it is happening here in Texas. But to make sure we start to limit it and push back it against it.

[Sid Miller]

Well, I raised this alarm eight years ago when a retired Chinese military official bought 120,000 acres in Del Rio, next to Laughlin Air Force Base. Now, if you don't know anything about Laughlin, you need to know this. That's where we house our most top secret aircraft, our U2 spy plane. And we passed, finally, some really strong laws here in Texas to limit, not only stop this, but to eliminate it. And the military official that bought that 120,000 acres, he saw the riding on the wall, it's on the market. He's. He's pulling out and he's getting the heck out of Texas because he's. He knows now he's not welcome here.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, they control far too much of our. Of our agriculture supply chain in the United States. Not just in Texas, but. But around the globe. I'll give you. Excuse me. Around the country. I'll give you the last one word, Commissioner.

[Sid Miller]

Well, you know, we can take an example from Arkansas Governor Huckabee up there, Sarah Sanders. Huckabee.

[John Jubilee]

Sanders.

[Sid Miller]

I'll get it right in a minute. Yeah, she gave an executive order and told China, get out of Arkansas. You got one year to divest. If you don't, you know, we'll just take the land from you and kick you out. So they. They divested and they left Arkansas. I think other states should follow suit.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, let's hope all the states do. Texas Commissioner of Agriculture, Sid Miller. It's always good to see you. Thank you for sounding the alarm. We appreciate you, sir. All right, moving on. Now, if you are feeling stuck and you believe your metabolism is broken, well, we have a solution for you. That's next. Let me tell you something, folks. If you can get hydrated at a cellular level, your metabolism will speed up like never before. I know this because I lost 15 pounds on the energized health system, which literally specializes in getting you hydrated at a cellular level. Watch this.

[Grainger Advertiser]

I came in for my health big time.

[Sharin Naraman]

Big time.

[Grainger Advertiser]

I. I mean, I was.

[Sharin Naraman]

I was done.

[Grainger Advertiser]

Every one of my. I was pre diabetic. My cholesterol, everything was off the charts. Every single thing came back completely in the green.

[Sharin Naraman]

Normal.

[Colonel Rob Bayness]

Normal.

[Grant Stinchfield]

My doctor was blown away. What are you doing? What are you doing?

[Grainger Advertiser]

Energize health.

[Sharin Naraman]

What are you doing?

[Grant Stinchfield]

Energize health.

[Grainger Advertiser]

I am on absolutely no medication. No stomach issues whatsoever, as you can see. Yes, I'm back to myself.

[Grant Stinchfield]

My Husband loves the new me.

[Grainger Advertiser]

My clients love me. I'm back. I'm not really retiring anytime soon.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I was at an event a couple weeks ago. I had two people come up to me and say thank you for introducing me to the energized health system. This is a very, very common theme. Well, I want to bring in now the founder of Energized Health, John Jubilee is with us. John, welcome to the program.

[John Jubilee]

Hey, Grant. Great to be here.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, it's great to see you. So, metabolism, I mean, you can speed up your metabolism. That's like the holy grail when it comes to getting rid of fat.

[John Jubilee]

Well, and Grant, the same root cause. And by the way, the reason that this woman, Shirl is her name, Sheryl, is 65 years old. That's why she made the statement, I'm not going to be retiring anytime soon. Most people are retiring at 65. Cheryl is refiring at 65, and she's owned that salon for 30 years, and she's ready to go another 30 now. But, Grant, when I met this woman, because she had inflammation throughout her whole body, it messed up her hormones, it messed up her metabolism, and even her digestive disorders made her look like she was seven months pregnant. Was so embarrassing for her. She said she'd wear her smock, and she just felt horrible because she looked like she was seven months pregnant. But the root cause of all those things, guys, is cellular dehydration. And when you address the dehydration at the cellular level, you can reverse the hormone issues, the diabetes, the high blood pressure, and you can reset that metabolism back like it was when you were a teenager.

[Grant Stinchfield]

John, you know, I'll ask you. Some of the older guys I play golf with, it almost looks like what you're describing. They have, like, thin legs and thin arms and thin shoulders, but they look like they have a basketball underneath their golf shirt. Can you fix that with energized health?

[John Jubilee]

You know what? You better believe it, Grant, because again, that's a combination of two things. It's inflammation in men, but it's also the visceral fat that builds up behind that abdominal wall, and that's where you get that basketball. So when a guy has a hard belly, that's a death belly. That's a death belly waiting to happen, because you've got the dangerous killer visceral fat that's in there, and that's the fat that you really want to go after, because that will keep you healthy. It'll re energize you and reset your metabolism. If you will just go after that visceral fat.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, I want to tell everybody out there, if you experience that or anything like the woman was just talking about, this is really a simple protocol. I went through it, it was, it was, did not knock me on my butt. It was not hard to follow. There's some dietary changes I made, but not outrageous that, you know, like some of these crazy diets that are nearly impossible to follow. And you have a masterclass that will help describe a lot of this, John. Correct?

[John Jubilee]

Well, we do it. And, and then, Grant, even after you watch a masterclass, guys, book a call. It's a free phone call. It's a free, no obligation call. Take advantage of a free call. When you can get expert advice from some 20 and 30 year nurses that quit nursing to come and join us. You know, you're going to get on the call with someone, they have their own miracle story. Ask them, say, what's your Energized health miracle story? John on television said, you all have one and they do every, every team member at Energized Health Across America. We're in all 50 states, Grant. They have their own miracle. But just book a free call and talk to someone and see if this could be the last program you ever do.

[Grant Stinchfield]

John, I hope I'm not giving the secret sauce away, but I was on the call when I started getting involved with Energized Health and it's like they're not trying to sell you anything. They literally gave me information. It was so valuable that it was worth something. And I think once I got that value from the call, I said, well, man, if I'm getting value from the call call, imagine the value I'm going to get once I get involved. And it wasn't a sales pitch at all, John.

[John Jubilee]

No. We have no salespeople. We have no salespeople at all. So no one's going to sell you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, it's great stuff. I'm going to tell people how to, how to find you, how to watch the masterclass, how to book a call. And that's the important thing, folks. So if you feel stuck, this really could be the answer you've been searching for. I want you to go to the website, watch that free masterclass. It's energized health.com that's energized health dot com. Learn how to reboot your metabolism, balance your hormones again and finally feel like yourself again. That's Energized health dot com. Watch that masterclass. And then as John said, book that call. That's the best part of the whole process. All right, the party of slavery I'm talking about. The Democrats, of course, are now suggesting Republicans want to bring the barbaric practice back. What's next? Well, folks, I want to tell you something, and I want to be very clear about this. We do not want slavery back in the United States. We, being Republicans, make America great again. Conservatives. But this is the mantra of the left to try to make us all out to be racist. I can't believe they're still going down this road. You know Jim Clyburn, Watch him. To what it was in 1876 when the election got thrown into the House of Representatives and they were able to overturn what Abraham Lincoln and the Congress had done successfully getting rid of slavery. That is what they're attempting to do today. He's attempting to do that. Not even close. Do you see what happens when you're invading churches, when you're blocking ICE agents, arresting child molesters? You have no defense for your actions. So just claim that Republicans somehow want slavery back. Maybe that'll work for you. The reality is nobody buys it. It's not going to work for them. They are desperate, Brit, and it's clear we are not desperate. Except for having you watch us every day. We love when you do that. And a big thanks, Stinksfield's army roles. We will see you here tomorrow night. Thanks for watching. This is an iHeart podcast.
