Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Immigration Tensions in Minneapolis

• Border Czar Activity: Tom Homan, now on the ground in Minneapolis, is leading both ICE and Border Patrol operations.
• ICE Agents Targeted by Activists: Rioters protest outside hotels housing Border Patrol leadership, leading to multiple arrests.
• Radical Tactics by Protesters:
  • Highlighted a nurse (put on administrative leave) who promotes using syringes with paralytic agents, spraying ICE agents with poison ivy solutions, and tainting their drinks with laxatives ([03:50 – 05:56]).
  • Grant expresses outrage:

    "That woman is a nurse. She is tasked with caring for people. What kind of attitude is that... Dangerous behavior for people just literally out there trying to enforce the law..." ([05:56])

Notable Segment:

• Interview with Nick Sorter, independent journalist on the ground.
  • Sorter details risk to journalists (assaults, equipment theft) and police passivity.
  • Emphasizes that only "worst of the worst" illegals being targeted is “essentially granting amnesty to 19 million other people.” ([08:13 – 09:29])

Memorable Quote:

"If you just go for worse of the worst, you’re essentially granting amnesty to 19 million other people in this country illegally. If you are illegal, you need to go back. That’s what 80 million people voted for."

  • Whistles possibly contributed to fatal incident by impeding agents' communications.

Memorable Moment:

• Binnall highlights the “fog of war”:

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Reggie, I just sold my car online. Let's go, Grandpa. Wait, you did? Yep, on Carvana. Just put in the license plate, answered a few questions, got an offer in minutes. Easier than setting up that new digital picture frame.

[Frank Gaffney]

You don't say.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, they're even picking it up tomorrow. Talk about fast. Wow. Way to go. So, about that picture frame. Ah, forget about it. Until Carvana makes one, I'm not interested.

[Jesse Banal]

Car selling made easy on.

[Frank Gaffney]

Pick up.

[Grant Stinchfield]

These may apply. Well, good evening everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. We are getting some breaking news tonight. President Trump saying late this afternoon that he plans on de escalating tensions inside Minneapolis, Minnesota. Truth is, that's a good thing. The last thing I want to see though, is ICE agents and Border Patrol backing off their mission of deporting illegal aliens that are here in the United States. Border Czar Tom Holman has made it onto the ground in Minneapolis. He says moments ago that he met with Governor Walz and Mayor Fry of Minneapolis. Tom Holman tweeted out that they both agree that they need to support law enforcement. But I'm not sure I really buy that from these two nefarious Democrats that are really encouraging all of the rioting. We're also getting word that border patrol agents on the ground are now being told not to arrest any illegal aliens unless they have another criminal background, not just crossing into the America illegally, but have another violent criminal background. You would leave them be? We'll talk about that with Nick Sorter to get details if that's true or if that's temporary. In. In just a bit. But I can tell you who's not de escalating things. The Looney Goon rioters that have taken over the city and impeding ICE agents every step of the way. This was them outside a hotel in Maple Grove. Minnesot Soda. So there were dozens of arrests, apparently, according to sources on the ground. Now, that is a hotel where Greg Bovino, the commander of Border Patrol, was staying and is ultimately leaving. This is what they were up against outside that hotel. Put down your weapons. You have weapons. We have no weapons. We are here. There is no doubt in my mind that these are deranged people. They are mentally ill. Trump. Derangement syndrome doesn't even do it justice at this point. These people need to be put into a mental institution. They have no ability to reason. They have no ability to critically think. They cannot see reality in front of their faces. They don't understand that if you want the law changed, go make your Argument with Congress. Don't make your argument with those tasked with enforcing the laws made by lawmakers. And with that, I tell you sick is an understatement for this woman. This woman is a nurse at Virginia Commonwealth University. We are being told she's been put on leave after this. Take a listen.

[Unidentified Advertiser]

I thought of something good. I think it's something the weirdest spot sabotage tactic or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers grab some syringes with needles on the end, have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever, whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I don't know how to pronounce it. Sucks on a choline. Something like that. That. That second agent that she was talking about paralyzes the muscles, incapacitates you for six minutes or so. That's what she wants to do to ICE agents. To me actually, though it gets worse. She does not stop there.

[Unidentified Advertiser]

Get the poison ivy oak water and I'm gonna put it into a water gun. Aim for, aim for faces. Hands.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Now, I don't know how much poison ivy is living in Minneapolis, Minnesota right now in the dead of winter, but she wants people to gather up poison oak and poison ivy, mix it with water and then put that solution in a water gun and spray it on the faces of ICE agents. Now, it's not going to kill you, but my Lord, will make you awful uncomfortable. Much of this stuff, to me, encouraging this behavior should be illegal. I believe that it is. I have to believe she's being investigated after putting this out. As I mentioned, she has been put on leave. She also says that all her single lady friends. You wonder why she's single. If this woman is take to the dating apps, get on Tinder, get on.

[Unidentified Advertiser]

Hinge, find these guys. They're around, they're a nice agent, Bring some ex Lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick. You know, nobody's gonna die. Just enough to incapacitate them, get them off the street for the next day. Highly easily deniable.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That woman is a nurse. She is tasked with caring for people. What kind of attitude is that from a nurse to engage in that behavior? Dangerous behavior for people just literally out there trying to enforce the law, doing their jobs, risking their lives for us. But again, the looney goons of the left cannot see it. They can't reason, they don't see reality. Now, all of these chaos creators, we know they're highly organized. I saw the CEO of a company called Crowds on Demand. He's tasked with supplying crowds at events. He says he's not working with these people. Maybe he's getting out in front of it in case he ever did. But he says not so much in Minneapolis. Listen to him. A lot of the people protesting on the streets are actually violent. Right. So they are unhinged, unstable people who pose a risk to peaceful protesters. So that is why I would not touch it with a ten foot pole. Well, good for you. But it proves there is a business out there where you hire these people to come out and protest. I think it goes beyond that. Now we have blind liberal zombies out there that are fully willing to do great harm to these ICE agents. They're also fully willing to do great harm to anybody that's ever experienced or witnessed them and conducting investigations into them. Of course, I'm talking about a gentleman named Nick Sorter who's been dragged, he's been beaten by these people, he's been robbed by these people as he tries to uncover what they're doing, is an independent journalist and he joins us tonight. Nick Sorter, welcome to the program.

[Nick Sorter]

Appreciate you having me, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so you've been breaking news left and right about everything going on in Minneapolis. I saw you on with my buddy Steven Crowder this morning about possibly ICE agents, border patrol not going to arrest so called non criminal illegal aliens, which is somewhat of an oxymoron. But. But those not accused of serious crimes other than coming in illegally. Can you tell me more about this if you got more information on it? Yeah.

[Nick Sorter]

So not a lot of new information on that, Grant. But what I can say is that we don't know whether or not this is a temporary measure. Like is there some sort of negotiation going on in the background? And that's why I'm not sounding the alarm on this quite yet. Right. I'm giving some time for Homan. He just got on the ground today and I'm giving him time to sort of take the reins here because he is the one that is leading the mission out there anymore because as we know, Bovino is no longer in Minnesota. Homan is essentially the top dog out there now. They have he's pretty much he's running both the border patrol and ICE operations in Minnesota. So you know, how temporary this measure is is yet to be seen. I'm going to try to give it like 24, maybe 36 hours more to pan out a little bit. But we're going to need some answers on that. We can't just do worst of the worst. I'm sorry, we can't because you're essentially. If you just go for worse of the worst, you're essentially granting amnesty to 19 million other people that are in this country illegally. If you are illegal, you need to go back. That's what 80 million people voted for.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, well, I'm getting the same story that you got. My buddy Ben Berkwum, who's also very close to. To border patrol and ICE operations, also said he's heard rumblings of this, so we'll give that time. The bottom line is, though, their jobs are being made very difficult, as we saw with you. You get dragged down the street by a car, they're stealing your cameras. God, I'm just glad you're not injured in a serious. In a serious way. How ugly are these people out on the streets, Nick?

[Nick Sorter]

I mean, it got to the point where you. I couldn't go out there, even in a disguise. You call the police and they're not going to respond. They. This what you're seeing last night, this show of force was not done by Minneapolis police. This was done by Maple Grove police, which is a suburb of Minneapolis full of affluent people who don't want to put up with hotels being, you know, raided and visitors being terrorized in the middle of the night. This was not Jacob Frey Fry, whatever the hell his name is, the mayor of Minneapolis folding. This was a suburb that wasn't going to follow the same BS that Minneapolis has been. You know, whatever lead that they've taken in this cringe war of retreating, every time it gets a little dicey.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Nick, let me play a clip from a friend of yours, a fellow independent journalist, Jonathan Cho. He was outside of that hotel you were mentioning that you saw on the screen there. Let me play this clip of him interviewing one of these. I call them Looney Goons instead of Looney Tunes. They're Looney Goons to me. Roll it, Lexi.

[Nick Sorter]

Why is it worth staying out here even in the cold like this and risking arrest? We.

[Grant Stinchfield]

We can't let them be comfortable. We can't. We're setting an example for the United States.

[Frank Gaffney]

Nick.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I want everyone to take note of these stupid whistles and the banging. These are deranged individuals. I really think they're mentally ill, Nick. And I don't say that to be funny. I mean it. I think they're mentally ill.

[Nick Sorter]

I think they have to be. I don't think there's any other reason that. That you can. You notice every single time, man. It's always a liberal white woman. You know, they keep saying, oh, well, Nick Sorter must be racist because of, you know, his, his rhetoric. That. That must be it. Like, no, honestly, if it were up to me, I would deport all the white liberal women first. Okay? This has nothing to do with race. There's something, I'm mildly convinced there's something in the water out there, Grant, that is turning these white liberal women into zombies almost. And the whistles, the. The hearing damage that you can get from that whistle being blown in your ear, it should be illegal. Like they should be being held accountable for that. But the problem is, as we have found out today, even the chief judge in the federal district of Minnesota, which encompasses the entire district or entire state of Minnesota, is donating openly to pro illegal immigration groups. So, I mean, we're just crap out of luck at this point in the entire district of Minnesota. And that's why these people know that the likelihood of the being charged and convicted of any sort of crime out there is, is really low.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, we saw virtually the charges. All of them got thrown out of the. Of the church rioters who went in and disrupted the church. I think these people feel like they can operate with, with absolute impunity as they're out there. Let me run one more clip from James o'. Keefe. He does a lot of the same type of work that you do. Roll that cut nine.

[James O'Keefe]

Every vehicle downtown they're able to track, run the plates, confirm who they are, get their ID like they did in my case. They ran my license plate. We're trying to figure out how they're able to do that, where they have someone on the inside of a rental car company, etc. And communicate with each other about it. And when I got out of my vehicle, this is like 11:30 in the morning, just after the shooting and before the autonomous zone. Within seconds, there were five of them standing outside of a relatively inconspicuous vehicle, interrogating me, asking to see my identifications.

[Grant Stinchfield]

We've talked about this signal chat. We see that. To me, it looks highly organized. Nick, you've been at antifa riots, at Black Lives Matter riots. Now these looney goon riots in Minnesota. How highly organized does it compare? Is it the same groups? What are you seeing?

[Nick Sorter]

I mean, yeah, it's one of the most highly organized crime rings that I think I've ever seen in my life. I mean, and it's very effective. That's the worst part about it. It's working for them. The right has nothing like this. Mostly because we have actual jobs. These people spend all day, every day Doing this. Nobody is going to convince me that it's just that they're doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They're absolutely not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. These people don't give a crap at the end of the day about saving Honduran illegals. Right. About the people themselves. This has to do with political power. And that's why the Democrat Party is so deeply embedded in this conspiracy to impede ICE operations, because at the end of the day, they don't want their voters deported, and that's it. And people didn't know until recently that in Minnesota, one person can vouch for eight other voters in the state, and all of a sudden those people have the right to vote. I mean, you deport all these people and Minnesota all of a sudden becomes a Republican state.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, yeah. That is. I do believe what they're most afraid of. And. And then you add in the blind liberal zombies who will follow anybody over a cliff, and it's just a recipe for disaster. And we're seeing that in Minnesota. Nick Sorter, keep up the great work. You really, you're amazing what you're doing out there and stay safe. And we appreciate you coming on today.

[Nick Sorter]

Appreciate you having me, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Absolutely. It's a pleasure as always. I want to turn now to the shooting of Alex Preddy. This is the nurse who now has been shot. There is new video that is emerging that proves that the man you see on your screen there was not just some innocent bystander, but instead an active participant. Take a look at this. This is video of Preddy. That's him with the camera moving out into the street, directing traffic, all the while videotaping ICE agents. You will see him here, right in the middle of the street, videotaping his agents and. And blocking traffic. So again, not an innocent bystander. This next video is taken from a vehicle. You can see him there in the brown, and he's being pushed back by ICE agents. And if you look really closely here, he's leaning into the ICE agents, not obeying with them. In the last video I will show you, there is a great clip of. Of him just literally leaning into the. The ICE agents. I'll show you a slow MO video, because the way to stay alive with any officer, any ICE agent, anybody, is to comply. Let's roll this video and we'll talk about it as you're rolling it. This is slow mo video. Can we put that up? There we go. This is slow mo video. And you can hear those stupid Whistles going off in the background. I actually think they inhibit the ICE agents ability to communicate with each other, which could lead. Lead to the shooting here. But you can see pretty is not complying. Go prone, go limp. Give up and you live. And there's where the fatal shot happens. Now, he was part of a signal chat. This signal chat we talked about yesterday. There's nothing illegal about having a chat group. What is illegal if you were plotting and planning, in my opinion, to impede ICE operations, which certainly is what this looked like, apparently. Now, Cash Patel will be investigating. She believes that Alex death was justified. Well, you know, we're doing a big investigation. I want to see the investigation. I'm going to be watching over it. I want a very honorable and honest investigation. I have to see it myself. Video, yes. I'm going to step down. No, of course you're not going to step down. And so he wants an honest investigation, which is why I said Cash Patel and the FBI are going to look into this. Not just the shooting, but the signal chat and the behavior that they were encouraging and engaging in. Roll Cash Patel. Obviously, you can't conspire in order to attack federal agents.

[Jesse Banal]

This is something that is at scale.

[Peter Schweitzer]

They have license plate readers. They're able to identify these agents.

[Grant Stinchfield]

They're able to dox them, find out.

[Peter Schweitzer]

Where they're sleeping at night. Is any of this legal, Cash?

[Grant Stinchfield]

That's exactly what we're investigating.

[James O'Keefe]

Look again, the First Amendment.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You want to go peacefully protest, do it.

[James O'Keefe]

You want to bring your firearm under the law, you're allowed to bring it as long as you don't incite violence.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And or commit another crime in doing so. Common sense. And again, they do not have it on the left. And I think it's because they have an inability to see it. I told you, I do believe that they are mentally ill. As my buddy Mark Levin says, liberalism is a mental disorder that is on display in Minneapolis. I want to bring in now former Trump attorney and civil rights litigator Jesse Benal is back with us. Been a while, Jesse, great to have you back on.

[Jesse Banal]

Great to see you, too. Granted.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, Jesse, the signal chat. Cash Patel is going to go in and investigate what would be the boundaries of where things turn illegal in a giant signal group chat.

[Jesse Banal]

The point where things become illegal when it stops becoming plans to engage in free speech and demonstrations and instead becomes plans to obstruct justice. And as soon as you start getting in the way of federal officials doing their job, that is no longer protected speech. That is A very serious felony that could, you know, result in either between five and in some cases, even 20 years in prison.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Look, I'm the first one to believe that you have a right to stand out there on the sidewalk. You can videotape till the cows come home. But the moment you get in the way of ICE agents, you get in the faces of ICE agents, you impede them. That has to be illegal too, is it not, Jesse?

[Jesse Banal]

It is absolutely illegal. It's the difference between making your voice heard and actually getting in the way of somebody doing their job. And in this case, yet, when you have federal law enforcement doing their jobs, and that can involve everything from blocking roadways so that federal law enforcement execute an arrest, it could involve, like you've said, using a whistle to interfere with their ability to communicate with each other and getting in the way of their own safety. All these things that we are seeing. I mean, certainly physically impeding them from making an arrest is an extremely serious instance of obstruction of justice. And that's just one example. I think there's a number of other federal statutes that are on the books that will, should be investigated and prosecuted. I think the problem that we're going to see here is will the federal bench in Minnesota actually enforce the law? Or have they become, are they part of this left wing agenda to impede federal law enforcement, that they're actually going to give a free pass to these protesters? We know that federal judges would never give a free pass to conservative protesters and demonstrations, but they, they tend to in many cases, unfortunately, especially in these, you know, left wing cities like Minneapolis, believe that left wing demonstrators are above the law and should never be prosecuted, even when they're very, very clearly obstructing justice.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know, I mentioned earlier they let the church rioters go, the ones that storm that church. The judge did not want to allow the charges to move forward. When literally you had the pastor saying please leave. I mean, and they have a duty to leave there after they're being asked to leave, and they didn't. Lastly, you know, we talk about these whistles. Nick Sorter had just said, it's ear piercing. I don't think the TV even does it justice. Not a lot of people are talking about this, but the fog of war, when you're in a struggle with a suspect, you've got agents around, you know, a man's armed, everything's going down a split second, you've got these whistles going. There is a strong possibility, Jesse, that agents didn't hear communications from another agent, didn't hear something happening that those whistles are responsible for this man getting shot, at least maybe partly, Jesse.

[Jesse Banal]

I think that's exactly right. And I think that this is an example where these whistles could have been more than life threatening. They could have very seriously been one of the reasons why there was a shooting in this case case because of that confusion that it causes. And yeah, and I think the sad thing is the people on the left, those left wing protesters, they don't mind that. They're very happy to have a martyr for the cause at this point. And so even if people's lives are ending because of their tactics, they've been so militarized that they don't even care anymore. And that's a very scary place to be right now. I'm optimistic that, you know, we've got some, some excellent people at the Department of Justice, including of course, Cash Patel and Pam Bondi and others that are going to investigate these crimes, that will use grand juries if they need to and that we're going to see some accountability in the long run here.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, let's hope so that any reasonable person, to use a legal term out there wants accountability for this. It's the unreasonable people that really have made such an impact in America. Sadly, it looks like that's about 48% of the country. But Jesse Banal, it's great having you on the program. Thank you as always. It's good to see you, my friend.

[Jesse Banal]

Always great to see you, too.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Thanks. All right, folks, up next, they are calling it the invisible coup, how American elites and foreign powers are using immigration as a weapon. We talk about that next. Foreign. Welcome back, everyone. Our friend Peter Schweitzer has another blockbuster book out. It's called the Invisible Coup. And I'll tell you what, making news all over the place, these revelations, one of them being that Chinese fighter pilots are being trained on a US Base here in the United States. Watch this.

[Narrator]

Castle AIR Force Base, California American heroes once trained here to defeat the Nazis and Soviets. But today, this very airfield holds a shocking secret. Hiding in plain sight, hundreds of Chinese pilots are being trained right here every year with almost no oversight. How did this happen? Who's responsible? And why are we training pilots who may one day face our own?

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, that's a good question. It had such an effect. The spokesperson for the Department of War was asked about this.

[Government Spokesperson]

We are absolutely tracking all of the sort of activity that is being done by the Chinese Communist Party across the United States and across the world. It is a threat that the United States now, thanks to President Trump, really understands. Remember, we had Beijing Biden in the previous administration. Now, now we have got President Trump who is clear eyed to that threat. And we are going to make sure that we are taking care of our homeland, that it's secure from those sorts of threats.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right. Sadly, she was asked the question about the pilot. She didn't really answer the question. So why don't we bring in the author of the Invisible Coup and president of the Government Accountability Institute, Peter Schweitzer is with us. Peter, welcome back.

[Peter Schweitzer]

Hey, great to be back with you. Thanks for having me.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Absolutely. So, again, another great book. Can you explain what's going on with the United States training Chinese pilots?

[Peter Schweitzer]

Yeah. So China has a pilot problem. They need about 5,000 pilots a year, half military, half civilian. They can only train 1250 in China itself. So what they've done is they've partnered with flight schools in the United States. One at the air base that you just talked about, that airbase was mothballed. A South Korean company with Chinese support came in and set up a flight school. There's one in Arizona, there are some in Florida. And you have the Chinese government paying literally thousands of the tuition for thousands of Chinese pilots to come here and train. Once they return back to China, the best pilots will go on for advanced flight training in China. So this is a massive subsidy to the CCP. We all remember what happened with flight schools with 9, 11, those terrorists trained at flight schools. We passed a law that said if you come from a terrorist sponsoring area or region, you cannot flight train in the United States. That does not apply to China. So we are literally prepping and preparing pilots that our pilots might be facing in a future combat situation.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That makes absolutely no sense that we would allow this to be happening on US Soil while China is buying up property next to farmland, military bases and all of these things. So has the US Government, as the Trump administration, responded to this? Has Congress responded to this? Can we do anything to stop this activity?

[Peter Schweitzer]

Well, I think, I think we will stop it. It's getting the information out there. I've met with senior Trump officials, I've met with people on Capitol Hill. They were all shocked about this information. So I expect we're going to see some action in this area pretty soon, as I think we're going to see action in some of the other revelations in the book that surprised these top officials that were kind of surprised that they didn't know about these things before.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, it seems like as most of your books expose, that we're not as protected as we might think we are here in America. This next story really shocked me. Now I know about birthright tourism, right? Where people come in from other countries, have babies here, and then, you know, their kid is an American citizen. President Trump pushing back on that with executive order orders. I'm going to play this clip from the preview of your book. But then there's a twist that you found out.

[Narrator]

Roll that first through birth tourism. Over 1 million Chinese nationals born on US soil could soon be voting in American elections from inside China. Meet the Manchurian generation, US Citizens on paper who've never lived in America, educated in CCP controlled schools, indoctrinated against us, yet eligible to vote in our elections.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, but Peter, going through your book, it's worse than just them coming over here on vacation and having kids. You say there are American surrogate mothers and organizations that match up these mothers with Chinese men here in the United States.

[Peter Schweitzer]

Yeah, no, this, this sort of struck me as something out of science fiction, but it's actually fact. It's surrogacy. And what China does is you have high ranking CCP officials who hire women in the United States. The men pay them $50,000 to carry their child. They'll be impregnated with the CCP officials sperm. The woman will carry the child to birth. Then when their child is ready to travel, the child will go back to China with the father to be raised by. We don't really know. Some of the birth mothers complain the father doesn't even come up and pick up the child. It's picked up by a third party. We don't know the scale of this. We know the birthright citizenship. As you saw in the clip, the Chinese government believes there are more than 1 million U.S. citizens that are being raised in China right now because of birthright citizenship. When it comes to the surrogacy issue, it's the same thing. These children are going to be US Citizens even though they're raised in China because they were born here and because the birth mother is an American citizen. The problem here is we have no idea of the numbers. But let me just give you a couple of data points real quick. One, about three weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal had a story on a Chinese billionaire close to the CCP who's been doing this. He has more than 100 children who are US citizens that he's done this with surrogates in the United States. Another data point, we looked at surrogacy companies just in Southern California, and we found 107 Chinese owned surrogacy companies that match Chinese elite with potential birth mothers in the United States. So it's a massive problem. The Supreme Court has to address this. Birthright citizenship is not just about people that maybe have been here a couple of years and have a child. The Chinese have an industrial model that is designed to infiltrate our country and expose our weaknesses. We have to deal with this urgently.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I would imagine there's a possibility they could be paying these American mothers big money in order to have these kids. Now they're born from an American mom. I don't know how you reign that in. I mean, I don't know how you. How you make it illegal to say, hey, I can't be paid to have a child. I mean, it's borderline prostitution. But you're talking about children. This is a wild story, Peter.

[Peter Schweitzer]

Yeah, it is. Look, part of the issue is ground zero for this, this birth tourism, where the women come and have the kids in the United States or the surrogacy ground zero is California. It is completely and totally unregulated. I guess one of the few things in California that's completely unregulated. So there's no health requirements, there's no limits. There's no concern about what the fate of the child is going to be. So there actually are things that could be done at the state level. The question is, does Gavin Newsom actually want to try to fix this problem? Not just from the national security standpoint, but from the humanitarian standpoint? I mean, in the book, I quote, birth mothers who say, like, I'm really worried about what's going to happen to this child because the father never comes and picks them up. Some stranger comes and says, I'm here for the child, takes the child, and the birth mother never sees them again. So this can be addressed. The question is whether California officials are prepared to do so.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, well, unfortunately, Peter, I can answer that question for you. The answer is going to be no. And Gavin Newsom doesn't care about those kids or anything else, and he's cozying up to the ccp. So that's a whole nother set of stories.

[Peter Schweitzer]

I know.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I was gonna say another book, but you've kind of already written that one, so. Buddy, thank you. The Invisible coup. You can get it everywhere books are. I think you went to number one now on the bestsellers list. Isn't that right, Peter?

[Peter Schweitzer]

That's right. Number one on all of Amazon for all books sold for the last nine days. So I appreciate everybody buying A copy. And please give me feedback atthe Invisible Coup.com.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, you heard the man. Peter Schweitzer. Thank you. Always good to see you.

[Peter Schweitzer]

Thank you for having me.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Absolutely. All right, folks, it is time for Texas to step up against Sharia law. There's a push there to ban the practice once and for all. We will get into that next. Welcome back, everyone. There is a push, and I'm grateful for it in the state of Texas. Texas, to outlaw the practice of Sharia law. But we've got to get elected leaders on board with this. Not all of them are. This is an ad that sparked quite a bit of controversy. Nothing controversial about it. It's from Aaron Reeds. He's running for attorney general. He's got the support of Ken Paxton, the outgoing attorney general. Roll it. Islam is not compatible with Western civilization. I'm Aaron Reitz. And that's just one lesson I learned as a Marine in Afghanistan. But politicians have imported millions of Muslims into our country. The result, more terrorism, more crime. And they even want their own illegal cities in Texas to impose Sharia law. Not on my watch. Well, I'm going to tell you something. That is not rhetoric, that is fact. Yet the Texas Tribune writes an article today that literally reads, anti Islam rhetoric take center stage in Texas Republican Party. This idea of Sharia law and these Islamic cities is very real. I want you to listen to this imam who apparently is headed to Texas. So know this, that Islam will enter every house. Every house. Don't worry about the Islamophobe.

[Frank Gaffney]

They can yap all they want.

[Nick Sorter]

Their children will be Muslim.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Amy Meek, a reporter, says that imam is on his way to Texas to move here. But this is going on in many, many states. But if they take Texas, they take the country. And I don't say that lightly. I want to bring in now president of the Institute for the American Future and host of Securing America Found right here on rav. Frank Gaffney is with us. He's worked with Ronald Reagan, and his administration has been such a big defender of freedom and pushing back against all of this. Frank, welcome to the program.

[Frank Gaffney]

It's a delight to be with you. Thank you for having me.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so you have a plan to put the pressure on elected leaders and get it right. You call it your bayonet plan. Explain this to me, please.

[Frank Gaffney]

Well, our friend Steve Bannon, who you brilliantly hosted at a January 9 event in Dallas that showcased this issue marvelously, has an expression that he uses on his show a lot. As you know, that elected Officials particularly tend to behave better when they feel the pointy end of the bayonet at their backs. Figuratively, of course. But the point is that there's an effort now desperately needed. And we had a brainstorming session about it today and you were kind enough to drop by for it. And, and I so appreciate that as well. About the degree to which, as Amy Mack and others have been pointing out on the ground in Texas, things are moving. And yes, it's imams, but it's also incipient no go zones. It's also creeping, well, stealthy jihad, if you will, to insinuate Sharia in a thousand different accommodations. We had the cities of Austin and Houston just lashing up with a group that the governor of Texas, as you know, Greg Abbott, recently designated as a terrorist organization, namely the Council on American Islamic Relations. They actually had a flag raising ceremony at city hall in Houston in which an Islamic motif flag was raised. This is the sort of thing that is alarming people. And it gave rise to a proposition that is on the Republican ballot to be voted on the 3rd of March. There's actually early voting starting as early as the 17th of February. And the proposition is very simple. Grant, it simply says five words, Texas shall, should, I should say should prohibit Sharia law. And that's what we want to see. And our plan, our campaign. It's not just me, it's a great group of people who've come together to help pursue this. Starts with helping Governor Abbott implement his designation of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American Islamic Relations as terrorist groups. Secondly, to get this proposition overwhelmingly supported by the people who will be voting in that primary. Third, to take the fruits of that effort and make this into a Sharia banning that is into a voting issue across the country, not just in Texas this fall. And if we're successful with that, to turn that into a mandate for the kind of prohibition of what I describe as a toxic, demonic and anti constitutional ideology. It's got a patina of religiosity to it, to be sure, but it's about power, it's about control, and it's about destroying our constitutional republic. That must not be allowed to happen, Frank.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Just as California is a breeding ground for the most horrible policies that Democrats can offer up and it spreads across the country. What I would like to see is Texas a breeding ground for tremendous, great policies that could spread across the country. Let's use that model and let's start it here. Because if we can do this here, I tell you, for other red States, it will be used as a model. This Sharia law is very real. I know there are cities in Texas, little communities where the Muslims will go in front of a court that is not recognized by the state of Texas and there will be people that will judge and divide up property. And that literally is happening here in Texas. Nobody wants to talk about it. The media doesn't want to report on it. But you can't have two sets of laws in a state. To me, this is a pretty simple issue. It's a shame we're even here and have to vote on something like this.

[Frank Gaffney]

Well, it is, except that it's better than not voting on it. You know, what we witnessed for all too together long is a, is a passivity in the face of this. I think, frankly, people have been scared to even talk about it, but not now. It's changing and we're allowed to talk about it. We're not only allowed to talk about it, we're allowed to vote on it. And I would simply say that when you look at this choice, you're absolutely right, of course. Grant, you can't have two systems of law. In fact, under the Constitution of the United States, it is in Article 6, the supreme law of the land. So these guys who are trying to insert this alternative to it, and as you say in mosques across Texas and across the country, they're putting together tribunals where they are actually imposing often on women, by the way, these repressive, in often cases, barbaric Sharia edicts. And that's not permissible in a constitutional republic like ours. And yet those women don't know that they have rights. And they're certainly being denied them in these essentially, as I said, incipient no go zones across America.

[Grant Stinchfield]

It's amazing.

[Frank Gaffney]

Look no further than what Frank, I.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Have to cut you off real quick because I have, I'm so short on time and I do apologize for that. But, but it is such an important issue. And we're going to stay in touch with Frank because he's on the front lines of this. And as I told you, Steve Bannon's actively involved in this. Glenn Beck is. We had a great event and I'm so grateful that they're coming on and talking about this. And we can make this happen. All right? Investing in times of uncertainty can be scary. We show you why that's not always the case. Next. Welcome back, everyone. President Trump talked about it today. He said he's making a lot of people rich, even some people he doesn't like rich. That They've doubled their net worth. Well, I think we are only just beginning. My friend over at Vertical Research Advisory, the CEO there, Kip Herridge, calls this a generational bull market we could be upon. And he joins us now. Kip, welcome back to the program. It's good to see you.

[Kip Herridge]

Thank you, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so generational bull market.

[Kip Herridge]

Yes, generational bull market. We made this forecast three years ago. My oldest son and I wrote a book called the Big Bribe. And we forecast in that book a generation. And this is when, when Joe Biden was still president. Remember, there was a big call then, but we said that we'd had a generational bull market that extend into the2030s and it'll be driven by three big things now, the Trump economic miracle. We didn't know that, of course, at the time. But also we have an ocean liquidity out there. Absolute ocean liquidity is driving much of this. Of course, it's also creating a lot of currency inflation as well. And then of course, we have all of the corporate earnings explosion that's being driven by the innovation revolution. So, yeah, we think this bull market continues for some time and investors have to be in this market. There's some current risk right now, short term. We did take a little bit of profits last week, but we're still 80% long. And we think dips are a buying opportunity.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right. And so this is what VRA Insider is all about. VRainsider.com I urge people to go there. You get a two week trial. Explain to me, Kip, how this works, how, how your newsletter works.

[Kip Herridge]

I was on Wall Street 15 years, managed several hundred million dollars, took seven companies public, retired at the age of 38, came back to Texas where we're based, that we're a family business based out of here. And basically we're an investment newsletter. We tell you what we're doing with our money. We're like a hedge fund. We invest our own money, a family office. We tell you we're doing our money so you can do what you want to with yours. We write a letter every day, which is telling you how we're invested. We're not day traders, we're long term investors, all that kind of thing. But we've beaten the market 19 to 22 years. Last year was another pretty good year for us. We think this year is going to be a barber. We think this year, Grant that the market could be up SB500, could be up 30% and NASDAQ could be at 50% this year. We think this Is the first of many years like this over the next five to ten years.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so what do you tell people that have cash parked on the sidelines?

[Kip Herridge]

Yeah, cash is trash. You got to get out of it. We've told people since 2003 and my second ever newsletter that you've got to get out of cash and buy gold. We've been long gold from $350 an ounce, long silver from $5. We have massive gains here. We're still buying. And so that's a big area we have people in right now. We're also fans of bitcoin, by the way. We have a diversified portfolio of 15 positions. We never own more than 15 positions. So you can be diversified but not overly diversified. We want you to really feel these wins that you're experiencing. And so I would tell people, you know, take a look at us, you can try it out for two, three weeks. Steve, it's right for you. We're always here for your questions to help anyone we can.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, I'm a member and I've been using it and I've transformed some of my portfolio, slowly building in more and more of my portfolio as I see what you guys could do. And it's all been great and it's all been successful. 35 returns last year and a year before was even better. Is that right?

[Kip Herridge]

50 the year before. That's right, yeah.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I mean you can't beat that. So here's what I would urge people to do. And Kip Heritage, thank you for coming on today. As always, let me tell people how they can find you. VRainsider.com Right now you get a free two week membership. That's V R A insider dot com. Do what I did. It's super, super simple process. Every morning they send you where they're at. You make a couple adjustments. Sometimes you don't have to do anything. Sometimes you do a few things. It's easy though. And as I said last year, 35% returns. Amazing. Vrainsider.com all right. Democrats are the party of death. I will show you what I mean next. You know our shows normally take on themes, right? And I think the theme of this program is the derangement syndrome that the liberals are experiencing not just towards President Trump, but in their own minds. They have an inability to reason. They are evil people in many respects. This is an Ohio Attorney general candidate. He's a Democrat, of course. Elliot, for him he is. Well, I'm just going to play the clip. This is his campaign slogan. I am going to kill Donald Trump. I mean, I'm going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence based on presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment. You are a sick mother scratcher man. You really are. These people will stoop to no lows. You know, on another note, pray for President Trump right now. The, the amped up violence coming from the left is scary to me. I don't even like the president out on the road right now. He's in Iowa today. I worry about him. I really do. I pray for you guys.
