Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Recent Domestic Terror Attacks (00:54–07:41)

• Old Dominion University ROTC Attack (Virginia):

  • A gunman with ISIS ties — recently released from prison for conspiring to attack the U.S. military — attacked an ROTC class, killing one and wounding two. Students (ROTC cadets) subdued and killed the attacker.
  • Media Critique: Stinchfield asserts mainstream media is avoiding coverage because the attacker was a Muslim and the narrative involves American heroism.
  • Quote:
    • "They are heroes for this. How many more could have been killed? The same suspect just got out of prison 15 months ago...should concern you as well." — Grant Stinchfield (02:28)
    • "How about the students? ROTC, future military leaders were fighting for their lives. They tackle a guy and stab him to death." — Grant Stinchfield (02:28)

• West Bloomfield Synagogue Attack (Michigan):

  • Naturalized citizen (allegedly from Lebanon) drives into a synagogue, opens fire, and is neutralized by an armed security officer.
  • The attacker had explosives in his car; law enforcement and security were prepared due to prior tips.
  • Police Response Critique: Stinchfield criticizes law enforcement for “pussyfooting” around calling such events terrorism.
  • Quote:
    • "What is Dearborn, Michigan, the capital of Muslim jihadists in Michigan? That's what Dearborn is. But nobody wants to talk about this stuff." — Grant Stinchfield (05:20)

2. Media & Political Response to Terrorism (07:41–09:32)

• Stinchfield accuses Democrats and the mainstream media of blaming Republicans and President Trump for such attacks, while ignoring the "good guys with guns" narrative.
• Criticism of media using attacks for political leverage — discussion of potential internal threats and need for vigilance.
• Quote:
  • "The easiest way to stop bad guys with guns is good guys with guns. And it plays out over and over again." — Grant Stinchfield (06:31)

3. Law Enforcement Preparedness & Civilian Self-Defense (09:32–13:47)

• Guest: Jose Medina (Law Enforcement Trainer)
  • Americans and police departments are stepping up training, particularly for self-defense and situational awareness, including security at religious institutions.
  • Stresses importance of direct, honest language on terrorism and criticizes political correctness.
  • Quote:
    • "Quietly, a lot of Americans are just getting their training, they're pushing for that...they're going to quietly conceal carry." — Jose Medina (09:53)
    • "The politically correct talk about this: they want to glorify these terrorists and then put down and quietly push aside the heroes." — Jose Medina (10:47)

4. Global Developments: Iran, Oil, and Security (13:49–21:13)

• Breaking News: An American aerial refueling plane crashes in Iraq (not shot down); attacks on freighters in the Persian Gulf with unmanned Iranian drones cause economic turmoil.
• Stinchfield criticizes military preparedness in protecting shipping lanes and notes growing use of drones in warfare.
• Guest: Don Brown (Federal Prosecutor, Military Historian)
  • Explains Iran's capabilities and the broad coastline making defense logistically challenging.
  • Advocates for escalated military action, including “taking out” Iran’s leadership.
  • Quote:
    • "You got to take these mullahs out, you got to take these ayatollahs out altogether. Trump’s given the warning...now it’s time to take them out, period." — Don Brown (20:51)

5. Critique of Mainstream Media Reporting (21:15–22:46)

• Stinchfield targets ABC News for “fear mongering” about rumored Iranian drone carriers off California, noting the original “intelligence” was unverified.
• Quote:
  • "Fear mongering is the way of the mainstream media. It's the best way. They try to damage President Trump." — Grant Stinchfield (22:06)

6. U.S. Cybersecurity Threats (22:46–24:47)

• Reports a cyber attack on medical device maker Stryker. Iranian-linked hackers took credit, but Stinchfield is skeptical, citing daily occurrence of such attacks.

7. Mass Deportation & Immigration Sentiment (26:08–34:06)

• Survey: Widespread Support for Mass Deportations
  • Over 60% of illegal-alien-headed households use welfare programs; Stinchfield argues enforcement saves taxpayers money.
  • Guest: Chris Kamelinski (Immigration Accountability Project)
    • Presents new polling showing broad support (Republican and general electorate) for mass deportation, not just of criminal offenders but all illegal immigrants.
    • Voluntary deportations are rising; strongest support is within Trump’s base, including Hispanics.
    • Enforcement at worksites considered the most effective way to drive self-deportations.
    • Quote:
      • "Trump voters want this. And they also told us that they would be more motivated to go out and vote in the midterm elections if they knew that the President was on pace to deport more than a million illegal aliens in 2026." — Chris Kamolinski (32:16)
      • "Do not give the employers a pass. This is why we have the problem in many respects in the first place." — Grant Stinchfield (33:42)

8. H1B Visa Concerns and Muslim-Centered Cities in Texas (36:17–43:29)

  • Guest: Christopher Putnam (Dallas Express)
    • Discusses suspicious timing of database outages and connections to investigative reporting.
    • Growing concern among conservative communities about demographic change, employment displacement, and “Muslim-centered” planned cities (e.g., Epic City in Plano and new projects in Kaufman County).
    • Ongoing investigations by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton into legalities, including accusations of securities fraud and circumvention of government regulation.
    • Quote:
      • "If you have to be intellectually dishonest with yourself and everybody else not to understand what's going on here, this is a...copycat of what they've done in Minnesota, it's a copycat of what they've done in London." — Christopher Putnam (42:22)

  • Quote:
    • "When we do well and they do well, it's wonderful for their families, their children, their grandchildren. And we think this is a legacy gas field." — Mark Bruner (47:38)

10. Critique of Tax Proposals and the Democratic Agenda (48:30–end)

Episode Tone & Takeaways

Stinchfield repeatedly rails against perceived media bias, governmental “pussyfooting,” and left-leaning economic policy. Listeners are urged to be self-reliant, politically involved, and supportive of measures that prioritize American security, energy independence, and economic sovereignty.
