Grant Stinchfield
Foreign. Good evening everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. Today President Trump all but declared victory in Iran. I wish the markets would have heard the President. They don't like the uncertainty over there. But I would Offer this up. And if you're a trader, if you're an investor, if you're one of the Wall street gurus, just trust the man who has been right about everything. This is President Trump today. But we've defeated the enemy and they are an enemy. They're a sick group of people. The leadership is gone, the navy is gone, the Air Force is gone. The anti aircraft equipment that they have, the radar they have is all gone. Everything's gone, including much of the leadership, gone as well. Every night we are continuing to kill more and more top leaders inside the Iranian regime. They still manage, though to move these missile launchers around under the radar and wreak havoc in, of course, the Straits of Hormuz, what's everyone's talking about, and other areas in and around Iran, Yemen, etc. Now, it's a big claim that President Trump just made, but it is also a claim that is being backed up by most of the experts. Listen, this will take time. This is not a simple problem, but it is a solvable military problem. They are not producing more weapons. And in fact we are destroying the places where the weapons are stored, the mines, the missiles. And then there's an attrition of the ones that they expend. They're not replacing that. So we have to be very patient and very deliberate. It's good advice. And then again, I mentioned the Straits of Hormuz. It seems like the Straits of Hormuz could be a global psyop from the media to make it look like things are going really awful. Now, listen, we do depend on the straits for the world economy, but the United States is not totally dependent on does it matter to us? Yes. Is it a total dependence for us? No. And President Trump tried to make this point today, saying, hey, at some point the people who depend on the straits are going to be the ones who are going to have to police it. Here's the President again. Simple military maneuver. It's relatively safe, but you need a lot of help in the sense of you need ships, you need volume. And NATO could help us, but they so far haven't had the courage to do so. And others could help us, but you know, we don't use it. You know, at a certain point, it'll open itself at a certain point. So I'm very upset with the United Kingdom. They got a great navy. They could be moving in there much quicker than they already are and they're not. So instead, as we hear that the war is virtually over, you got a lot of people that are Very concerned. We're moving thousands of Marines into the area. Oh, they're so afraid of boots on the ground. My advice to them would be, hey, just be calm. This is the Commander in Chief making sure we are ready for anything. It doesn't mean that they're going into Iran. It doesn't mean anything other than the fact that they're there. They could be used if it came to that point. This is the smart maneuver on behalf of President Trump. Obviously, there are many who don't like it. I want to bring in now retired US Davies SEAL and chief talent Officer of Overwatch Mission Critical. Mike Cirilli is with us. Mike, welcome to the program.
- [06:11]
Mike Cirilli
Thanks for having me.
- [06:12]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Mike, what do you say to people that are all Concerned? We got 5,000 Marines headed into that region? Your thoughts to them.
- [06:23]
Mike Cirilli
So I think this is about Kharg island, which has a lot of significance from an economic standpoint for Iran. I mean, 90% of their oil exports flow out of that island. It's also strategic and geographically important to the Strait of Hormuz. So if President Trump chooses to use the Marines, and this is what they do, amphibious landings to seize Kharg island, it's actually to prevent a ground war. It's to take their economic lever offline. If we control that, it continues to put strain on the Islamic regime, which eventually will lead to the people uprising against the regime. Additionally, it becomes a perfect staging base from which we can launch either aircraft or boats to secure the shipping lanes and any oil coming out through the Strait of Hormuz into Asia or Europe.
- [07:13]
Grant Stinchfield
I think President Trump's been pretty clear he doesn't want to destroy Carg island because for the future leadership of Iran, hopefully, that that is much better than his current leadership. They're going to need that in order for Iran to survive with any kind of ability to raise money. He doesn't want to destroy it, but destroying it isn't off the table if things don't go well. And so it's interesting, your assessment that the Marines go take it. That almost cures the best of both worlds there, Mike.
- [07:43]
Mike Cirilli
And we may hold it. But, you know, anyone who says, you know, this is hesitation or weakness by President Trump is absolutely wrong. It's strategic restraint, and for the reasons you just stated, the hope that he can pass us off to the good people of Iran to fuel their economy and to rebuild. But, yes, he still has the option on the table that if this regime is going to continue to murder its citizens, that he would strike those in a Heartbeat. And it's the same reason he told Israel to stop striking South Par island and that that won't happen again. So he's shown leadership in this, this moment. He's shown restraint and we rarely see that from leaders at this level.
- [08:22]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. You had mentioned Iran still killing protesters, rebels rising up. One of them was Saleh Baham. He was a nationwide hero, 19 year old wrestler, very, very successful. He was accused of killing two police officers. I'm pretty sure they were bogus charges. They hung him and two others in a very public execution, outraging many. But Iran is still continuing this behavior, it appears.
- [08:53]
Mike Cirilli
Mike, this is what bothers me, this regime. The fact that we have a regime like this in the 21st century in the world, allows it is beyond me. This was a display. They chose a national hero and executed him as a form of crushing the opposition to keep people compliant to this evil, fanatical, theatocratic regime. And if that isn't fuel for the rest of the world to galvanize against Iran and rid this cancer of the Middle east that has haunted us for over 47 years, I don't know. It is. And it brings up the question, you know, is nothing worth fighting for. And sometimes we've got to do what other people don't want to do. We've got to give up our comfort right now, in the moment for the future generations so that they don't have to deal with this cancer. It's beside me. I don't understand that viewpoint.
- [09:45]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, yeah. You know, it may have the, the opposite effect that the Iranian regime wants. I mean, I think they're outraging the people. At some point the people are going to have to stand up and take this thing for themselves. This is another former wrestler who was talking about the conviction that I said was bogus. Roll cut nine for me, guys.
- [10:07]
Nick Shirley
I think with this system, Iranian people never believe this judiciary system. If there was a fair trial, this should have been for those who murdered tens of thousands of prot. Since almost past half a century, there hasn't been one Iranian regime official in
- [10:26]
Grant Stinchfield
trial for killing and torturing. Mike, I guess before I let you go, I'll ask you, what are the chances of getting the Iranians to take over this country themselves, other rebel groups to somehow, you know, finish this regime off once and for all so they can, they can take control. Where are we on that front? Fairly quickly, if you can.
- [10:47]
Mike Cirilli
Yeah, so we need more time. So we've done a great job of decimating their military. Over 90% of their infrastructure is destroyed. We now have to hit the internal security apparatus known as the Beijig and continue to erode the Iranian regime leaders in order to give the people a fair fighting chance to stand up and fight back.
- [11:06]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. Great work, Mike. It's great having you on the program. I appreciate your insight in all of this and of course, thank you for your service to America. We'll talk again soon, I'm sure.
- [11:16]
Mike Cirilli
God bless America.
- [11:18]
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely. Amen to that. All right, now to, we talked a little bit about it, which is a lot of this has to do with oil. And what are we going to do? This is why the markets are so jittery. Now, I will tell you this. President Trump was brilliant when he came into office. What was his mantra? Drill, baby, drill. And when you talk about drill baby, drill, you also have to set it up for success. Well, just yesterday, the Department of The Interior sold 187 leases in Alaska to start drilling there. This is Secretary Burgum on that.
- [11:53]
Mike Cirilli
President Trump's energy dominance dominance strategy is built for exactly this moment. President Trump wanting to increase supply here domestically and with our, with our existing allies or new allies like Venezuela, where I was about to 10 days ago, get more supply in the market and be in a position where we can be not just energy independent, but energy dominant, where we can sell energy to our friends and allies so they don't have to be reliant on our adversaries.
- [12:22]
Grant Stinchfield
Remember, that's exactly where we were when President Trump left office and Joe Biden just, just ruined it all. We're almost there again, like really, really close. And so the other aspect of this is the green energy scam. Look, I'm all for green energy that is going to add it to the grid, but don't mandate an all or nothing mentality when it comes to green energy. This is something Kevin o' Leary pointed out on CNN of all places, because the one thing about this commodity, it's the input to every sector of the economy. We have 11 sectors. Every single sector requires a reasonably priced energy source. And you know, we've talked a lot about alternative energy and new ideas and nuclear power. But this shock has proven to the world that oil still matters. Not some, a lot. It matters a lot. And I expect policy around hydrocarbons to change dramatically everywhere. The green new scam is what we call it. Well, joining me now is someone who's been at the forefront of exposing just that. Climate Depot publisher Mark Morano is with us. Mark, welcome back to the show.
- [13:27]
Mark Morano
Thank you, Grant. Happy to Be here.
- [13:29]
Grant Stinchfield
Mark, how close are we to being energy independent again in America like we were under the first Trump administration, or are we there?
- [13:39]
Mark Morano
Well, I think we just arrived just last week, and this is incredible. CNN analysis found that the US Is now producing, quote, more oil than any country in the history of the planet, unquote. And that is after one year of 300 actions by President Donald Trump to open up American energy. Now, having said that, people are probably scratching their heads and saying, oh, if we're producing more oil, why are gas prices so high? It's because it's not necessarily all the right kind of oil that we can refine. So we export oil and then we import oil that's easier to refine, that meets our refining capacity. Oil is a global commodity. That's the way it's set up. In order to actually be truly on oil, specifically, they energy independent, we don't. We almost have to nationalize the oil industry and the United States, and that would be a grave change in our last 60, 70 years of policy. We don't want to go that direction. But one of the things we do is we also look at coal when you're talking about a broader thing of energy. Coal is one of the greatest domestic resources for the US And Trump is opening up American coal mining again. This is after the war on coal by Obama and Biden. And coal is considered the most strategic of all energy sources because if you have it, you can produce it and use it domestically. And that is another issue that, you know, look in the last 15 years, how we've let coal be shut down in this net zero climate war. We are so much better positioned than we were when Ukraine invaded Russia. Remember, the whole stick it to Putin, and, you know, that was the height of the net zero craze under Joe Biden. But we still face a problem because, you know, with the Strait of Hormuz and global oil markets, it affects the prices because it's that instability of war. And that's our big issue right now. There's almost nothing we can do in the short term except ride this out and hope for a quick resolution.
- [15:34]
Grant Stinchfield
You know, you raise an interesting point about oil prices. This is how Vladimir Putin funds his war against Ukraine. So when oil skyrockets to $100 a barrel, Putin's gonna be flush with cash. The guy that's hating this right now. Yeah, Zelensky. Because now Putin's gonna be flush with cash. I want to ask you this, though, Mark. You know, I hear all this talk about the straits, and I Mentioned this a moment ago. I understand that there are important for the global economy the Straits of Hormuz where all that oil.
- [16:01]
Mark Morano
Yes.
- [16:02]
Grant Stinchfield
Moves through. I actually believe there's like this psyop of negativity by the mainstream media. They use it and in some respects the mainstream media's negativity using the straits as oh, it's just an absolute disaster, almost plays to the psyche to drive the price of oil up. Yeah. In the trading markets.
- [16:22]
Nick Shirley
Yeah.
- [16:22]
Mark Morano
And that's exactly right because the trading markets are the key word. The futures markets, the trading markets, this is where the price is set. It's kind of based on rumor, innuendo, rumors of rumors. And that's how you end up with, you know, the, the feared 150, 180, 200. All these speculation and you get into a frenzy with it. The straightaway moves is important. A fifth of all global oil goes through it. Thirteen million barrels a day pass through the strait and in 2025 that's 31% of the all the water transported crude oil. But you know, some of the things that Trump is trying to do now is, you know, and this is where it gets even dicier. But it also can on the flip side could actually work. It's a gambler sending in ground troops, taking Carg island and essentially seizing that oil and energy from Iran and bringing that through the strait and bringing that to America and other places that need it. So it becomes very complex. But you're right, the more fear mongering and the more I guess the word would be just nervous nellying you get on futures markets, the worse it's going to get. So you need a sober, calm analysis. But the one fact remains, and I'll just say it again because it's so important, the longer this goes on, the more stress it's going to put on energy markets right now. And I think so that's it's all eyes are on this. You know, they keep saying three to six weeks. If that's the case, we get through it. If this is going on in the summer, I don't know how, you know, I don't know how we recover quickly from this at all in any way.
- [17:54]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, yeah. Well, if they watch this program, they'll get a sober, calm analysis until I start talking about Democrats and my next topic. But on this, stuck in a sober comm analysis. Mark Morano, Climate Depot. It's always great having you on. Thank you.
- [18:09]
Mark Morano
Thank you, Grant, appreciate it.
- [18:11]
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely sober and calm. That's me. Until after about 10 o' clock at night. No, I'm kidding. All right, listen, the battle in D.C. right now is going on on two fronts. You've got the Save America act, we've got that, and then we've got the DHS shutdown, which is an absolute disaster. Again, the Democrats refused to vote to open up DHS. That failed again today. This is Jim Banks.
- [18:38]
Mike Cirilli
The GOP senator for the 12th time just blocked funding to go to reopen the Department of Homeland Security. Keep in mind, this is while we, while we have a war going on with Iran, which is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
- [18:54]
Grant Stinchfield
And the Democrats have shown, shut down
- [18:55]
Mike Cirilli
the Department of Homeland Security, which is supposed to be keeping us safe. That's how crazy and out of touch these Democrats are. They're playing games, political games, with the safety and security of the American people.
- [19:09]
Grant Stinchfield
So I'm going to say something here that I think might surprise you. I think we ought to just take the Democrats deal and open up the other portions of DHS in separate bills. Tsa, Coast Guard, all these other agencies that keep us safe, just open them in other bills and then follow Senator Kennedy's lead. Need of the next day offer up a reconciliation bill and fund ICE through reconciliation. And we can do it without the 60 vote minimum. And by the way, ICE is nearly funded anyway because of the big beautiful bill. So that would be my assessment. Now, to the Save America act. What do the Democrats tell us? Oh, it's a poll tax. You gotta go buy $165 passport. Listen to Bernie Sanders. Half of Americans, 146 million people don't have a valid passport. Those who would need a passport to vote under this bill would have to spend $130 to renew a passport or $165 for a new one. And by the way, you're gonna have to wait up to six weeks to get it. So make no mistake about it, this legislation is nothing. So let's see, first off, he gives you a number of 145 minutes. That's not all voting age, okay? He's talking about kids and all those types of things. So I have an idea. It would literally call the Democrats bluff. You write into the bill, free passports, free renewals. By my count, it would run anywhere between $2 billion and quite frankly, $14 billion, depending on how you add it up. But it's not money out of the pocket. That's revenue that was coming in. You already have the workers there, so it's not like it's costing you extra. Free passports to everybody. No more poll tax. How are they going to say no to this? That's the Stinchfield plan. Anyway, I want to bring in now discuss the Democrats craziness. The host of the Morning Answer out in Los Angeles, Jennifer Horn is back with me. Jennifer, welcome to the program.
- [21:11]
Jennifer Horn
Great to see you. Did Bernie Sanders brush his hair with his shoe? What was going on there?
- [21:17]
Grant Stinchfield
Probably. And then he probably tried to make a phone call with his shoe. Well, who knows? The guy's crazy. Your thoughts about what they're doing to this country right now, Jennifer?
- [21:26]
Jennifer Horn
Oh, I think they're absolutely ruining this country right now. I think they are begging when it comes to the government shutdown for a terror attack. And then in about 12 seconds they'll reopen the government and, and try to pretend like it was someone else's fault. But we know better. And I have been loving secretary or, excuse me, Senator Kennedy, I think. You know what? Forget John Thune. Let's put Kennedy in charge of Republicans in the Senate. First of all, he's hysterical. He's smart, he gets it and he's a fighter. And he said both the Save America act and the reopening of the government could be done through reconciliation. So let's get moving. I have a feeling these Republicans and our leadership are just playing too nice and they're playing with our safety and the future of our elections.
- [22:12]
Grant Stinchfield
Very disappointing. John Thune has been very disappointing as well. I like Senator Kennedy as a, as a leader. That's good. I'll start pushing that as well. What do you think of my deal to call the, the, the, the Democrats bluff? And we'll say, okay, well, we'll, I mean, look, $14 billion is a deck chair off the Queen Mary in the federal government will fund free passports for every American citizen. If you're an American citizen, you get a free passport.
- [22:36]
Jennifer Horn
They won't go for it. As much as that's an idea Democrats should love because they love giving away free things.
- [22:42]
Mark Morano
They.
- [22:42]
Jennifer Horn
We've also called their bluff before, saying that we would give Election Day as a federal holiday so that we have one day instead of mail in ballots for three weeks like we do here in my home state of California. But every time you bring up those ideas that you think sound like a Democrat's dream, they pass on it. And they pass on it because they love the fraud that comes from unsecure elections. And I'm not sure if you saw this today, Grant, but just now, just today, Berkeley released a new poll about voter id and they released a new poll specifically on the California initiative, which is going to be on our ballot, we think in November. And do you know the group that supports voter ID most, it is Latino. The closer they are to Spanish speaking, the more they support voter id. So the idea that this is somehow racist, that it's a sexist bill, it's absolutely so out of touch with what people who have come to this country the right way really feel.
- [23:39]
Grant Stinchfield
Well, a lot of people don't know the national identification card in Mexico is their voter ID card. You know, here we use driver's licenses for everything. I acknowledge that. But in Mexico, it's the voter ID card that's basically your id. So it would make sense that they would say, hey, this, this, this makes sense. You have a voter ID card like that, that proves you're an American citizen, by the way. But the Democrats won't go for it. Jennifer, I give you the last word.
- [24:08]
Jennifer Horn
Oh, that's because they're benefiting from the scam. And look, if you don't want to give away free passports, if that's too much, if you don't like the Stitchfield plan, let's start with the federal ID card. What's wrong with that? Every American citizen can have one. We used to call it Social Security, but if we have to come up with something new, so be it. To secure our elections moving forward.
- [24:26]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. Jen, it's always great to see you at Jennifer Horn on X. You can check her out on AM 870 out in Los Angeles. It's great having you on, Jen. Thank you.
- [24:36]
Jennifer Horn
Thank you.

All right. All right, folks, listen. We talk a lot about oil. America is focused on strengthening domestic energy production and securing reliable resources for the future. One company working in that direction is Lost Soldier Oil and Gas. After decades of geological research and land assembly, Lost Soldier has developed a large natural gas project spanning approximately 40,000 acres in Wyoming's Rocky Mountain region. Independent engineering evaluations estimate the property contains significant natural gas resources, positioning it as a meaningful domestic energy opportunity. Lost Soldiers development plan includes a multi well drilling program designed to responsibly increase production over time using proving technologies. Growing demand from industries such as power generation, manufacturing and emerging data infrastructure continues to drive the need for reliable, cleaner burning natural gas. The company is led by an experienced management team with a long history in energy development and public markets. To learn more about Lost Soldier oil and gas and how you can get involved with their energy project, visit lost soldier.com or scan the QR code on your screen. That's lost soldier.com lost soldier.com all right. Gavin Newsom would rather attack journalists than deal with fraud in his state. The candidate for governor as a Republican, Steve Hilton Newton, will join us next.

Nick Shirley
We're asking questions about where our taxes are going.
- [29:53]
Grant Stinchfield
You're not asking. You're harassing people.
- [29:55]
Nick Shirley
How are we harassing people?
- [29:56]
Mark Morano
Two guys standing in here as a
- [29:59]
Grant Stinchfield
guard, guardians, and you harassing people?
- [30:02]
Nick Shirley
Yeah, because people want to kill me for exposing fraud here in the United States.
- [30:06]
Steve Hilton
Why? Why they want to kill you?
- [30:07]
Nick Shirley
Fraudsters don't like being exposed, huh? Why are you raising your voice if you have nothing to hide?
- [30:13]
Mike Cirilli
You think I'm hiding?
- [30:15]
Nick Shirley
What are you so scared about me coming around here for?
- [30:20]
Grant Stinchfield
So again, it's the same story over and over. Appears no checks and balances like Tim Walls. You've got Gavin Newsom, that's the head of that state, and the fraud is happening right underneath his eyes. I firmly believe that. And I believe he and his cronies are the ones that enabled it. Just like Tim Walls in Minnesota. Will Nick Shirley talk about that on his appearance on Fox News.
- [30:43]
Nick Shirley
These tax dollars don't say right or left on them. They don't say Republican or Democrat. Right. Each tax dollar is a dollar for the American people. And when they go in and steal these. These dollars from us, they're not robbing just the liberal Democrat in California. They're robbing everyone. And then the governor gets mad at the person for exposing the fraud. How crazy do you have to be to think without logic?
- [31:06]
Grant Stinchfield
So what does he mean? Gavin Newsom getting mad at the person exposing it? Well, this is what he means. Take a look at this tweet. Nick Shirley right now that sent out from Gavin Newsom's office. And it's making fun of Nick Shirley showing up at a daycare center. Where are the kids? It's not a joking matter. Gavin Newsom. The real fraud is Gavin Newsom. I want to bring in now Republican candidate for governor in California. My good friend Steve Hilton is back with us. Steve, it's good to see you.
- [31:42]
Steve Hilton
Joke. What a joke. Thank you, Nick Shirley. We should all be grateful to Nick Shirley. I'm grateful as the next governor of California that he's helping show us what we need to do, where we need to stop this theft of taxpayer money. That's exactly right. Exactly how he put it.
- [31:58]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Steve, you have an organization called California Doge. You took the idea from Elon Musk and said, let's recreate this in California. Are you surprised at all from what you guys have found? Look at what Nick Shirley has found that he's coming up with a number of $170 million in fraud. California tax dollars wasted.
- [32:19]
Steve Hilton
Not at all. So here's why at the beginning of this. Well, let's go right back to Nick Shirley's first invaluable service he performed for all of us taxpayers in America, the Minnesota scandal that he uncovered. So at that time, I said, you can be sure, just as you said, Grant, that whatever's going on in Tim Waltz's Minnesota, it's a thousand times worse in Newsom's California. We set up a tip line, califraw.com to get whistleblower tips. We get hundreds of tips. We go through that with our team, along with my colleague Herb Morgan, running for state control, a great guy. It's going to help stop the fraud. And we came up with an estimate of the total fraud based on the tips, based on what's already been reported and all these other things. Originally, 250 billion. We've now got a more precise version of that. Here's the number over five years, not in one year, over the last five years. 430 billion. Right.
- [33:13]
Grant Stinchfield
That's billion dollars.
- [33:15]
Steve Hilton
Yes. And here's. Here's why that. And so now we're filling in the details bit by bit, piece by piece. Here's Nick Shirley with 170 million. Last week. We've put another 700 million into the picture. Homeless fraud in Los Angeles. Our first fraud report from Caldoge. 370 million from the cannabis tax in California. The second fraud report, $1 billion over 10 years that was supposed to pay for solar panels for low income apartment buildings, actually siphoned off into Democrat political organizations. So we're building up the picture now. Here's the important point. Why is Gavin Newsom so frightened of this and why won't they actually stop the fraud? Two reasons. Number one, a huge part of this fraud is money that is actually going into the pockets, just as you said of cronies and donors to Gavin Newsom developers who doing all this or running these clinics and all that, they give money to Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass and all these politicians. That's why they overlook it. The second part is what I was just talking about it actually. A lot of this fraud is financing the Democrat political machine, registering voters, all these nonprofits running around pushing Democrat propaganda. They depend on the fraud. That's why they don't want to stop it.
- [34:34]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, this is big because, you know, I go right to the money. People commit fraud because they want to enrich themselves. It sounds like that's certainly going on. But you're telling me some of the fraud is literally going to run a Democratic vote campaign to start gathering votes. That's how the fraud's being committed.
- [34:55]
Steve Hilton
Two out of three of the fraud reports that we've published at Caldos are exactly that. And also, if you remember a few months ago, do you remember the fire aid scandal, the concert that was supposed to be raising money for fire victims? That was money that ended up going to Democrat political groups, organizing voter registration, all this kind of nonsense. That's what they use. This is absolutely part of their business model. And then when you're saying that's a huge amount of money, 430 billion, I just want to put that into context. So the budget of the state of California has nearly doubled in the last five years, from 180 billion a year five years ago to now 350 billion a year. So they've doubled the budget nearly. But everything's worse. We pay the highest taxes in the country for the worst results. And now we know why. Because this is where the money's going.
- [35:51]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, it's amazing. And Gavin Newsom wants to take that show on the road to become the next president United States. It's frightening. Steve Hilton, I know you get to the bottom of it, man. If you were, you were governor. When you become governor, I know you'll be, you'll be cracking some whips here to make sure that we, we get this all under control. I'm going to tell people where they can find you. Steve Hilton forGovernor.com that's Steve Hilton for Governor.com Get Ready America March 25th through 28th CPAC USA 2026 takes over the

Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back, everyone. I believe the Islamification of America is very real. And they know the first state that they want to take is Texas. Now, Texas is one of the few states that is fighting back hard on the Islamification of America. There's a school voucher program that was put in place in Texas, and it was written into the state law that says, hey, if you have ties to a terrorist organization or a foreign adversary, you cannot take part in the. In the voucher program. Right? So these Muslim schools then sued. But it's not about being Muslim or not. It's simply about whether you have ties to terrorist organizations like care, the Council on American Islamic Relations. Okay, now it appears some of our tax dollars will be funding some of these schools because the lawsuit's moving throw forward, though it is under appeal. Here's our friend Kaylee Campbell. Listen.
- [39:58]
Kaylee Campbell
Islamic Schooling Systems, because four Islamic schools are now actually going to receive Texas school vouchers from the government. And the original plan was that Muslim schools were not going to be receiving taxpayer dollars in order to fund their schools. But because these four Muslim schools sued the Texas comptroller, they now are allowed to have Texas school vouchers.
- [40:19]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, so we'll see how that case plays out. Right? And then we still have Epic City. We've talked about this a lot, right? This is this Muslim city. They want Muslim street names. They want Sharia law. They want, you can only live there if you're Muslim, which totally goes against the fundamentals of America. Well, a group went out. There was supposed to be a hearing today, a hearing got canceled, and they went out to protest this. Well, watch what happens. The cops show up. Okay, you guys, you guys.
- [40:52]
Jennifer Horn
But we'll leave.
- [40:54]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, you have to get off this property. This is not home. Go
- [41:10]
Nick Shirley
home.
- [41:12]
Grant Stinchfield
So it sure looks like public property to me. Police kicking them out, as the Muslim group says go. Well, one of the women that was there was the person you just saw a moment ago. She's been one of the premier fighters trying to expose this stuff, including H1B visa programs, which we've talked to her about. She is a Christian conservative mother, a journalist, an influencer. Kaylee Campbell is with us. Kaylee, welcome back to the show.
- [41:37]
Kaylee Campbell
Hi, Grant. Thank you for having me.
- [41:39]
Grant Stinchfield
All right. It's good to see you. Since you last on, you have done so much to raise attention and awareness to what's going on in Texas with this Islamification of our state. Here. First off, why don't you take me through what happened today and why were the cops siding with the. The Muslims there?
- [41:59]
Kaylee Campbell
So there was only about a handful of people there. It wasn't a large group of people causing any type of disruption. I would say about maybe 15 to 20. At first. Everybody was gathered by the building that the actual meeting was going to be at, but then a few of us walked. And this isn't my first rodeo at that place, and there's never been an issue with just walking onto that property. I sat with my fiance on one of the benches one time and just observed. But this time, you know, they were kind of coming up. There were more of them there because they were celebrating their holiday and we were kind of just observing, watching, filming. A handful of them did come up and talk to some of the media people there. But honestly, I could just simply say we were standing there talking about Jesus, talking about God, talking about Texas, and saying this shouldn't be allowed here. But nobody, at least from what I saw, was graphic, mean, rude, hateful, or anything like that. And then the cops all kind of swarmed up around us and they were like, all right, it's time to go, guys. You need to get out of here.
- [43:07]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, So I. I believe it looked like you had a right to be there. It isn't worth getting arrested over for all this stuff, but. But the work that you're doing is worth the work you're putting into it. Can you tell me how things are going? So you exposed H1B visa issues here. We now have the situation with the vouchers in school. We got Epic City that still, it looks like they're pushing this thing. Where do we stand on the big scheme of things here, Kaylee?
- [43:31]
Kaylee Campbell
So with, there's two of the big things, which is Epic City or the Meadow, and then also the Kaufman Sustainable city that still has a lot of rumors circulating around it, but they're also kind of participating in this behind the door, secret meeting type of vibe that people aren't liking.
- [43:47]
Jennifer Horn
The.
- [43:48]
Kaylee Campbell
The citizens of all of these surrounding, like, countries or I'm sorry, states are not, like, wanting to see this happen behind closed doors.
- [43:57]
Jennifer Horn
It.
- [43:57]
Kaylee Campbell
It feels like they're being very secretive on purpose. And with Epic City and the meeting that was canceled today, it kind of goes to show that once Ken Paxton released that statement about how he was going to give them the temporary restraining order, he kind of stopped them from making any more advances, like, so far. And it kind of shows that they were planning on making decisions today that the public wouldn't have known about at all.
- [44:25]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, so Ken Paxton, Attorney general running for Senate here in Texas against John Cornyn. We're big fans of Ken Paxton. They're in a runoff. Now. This restraining order was about a water system, a water district, saying, hey, you guys are using some loopholes, not really doing this to, to make sure this could get off the ground. He says, put the kibosh on that. Well, if you don't have water, your city's not going to go very far. So Ken Paxton is fighting it. Give me an update on the H1B visa situation, because what you uncovered was literally eye popping. Just homes with hundreds of people supposedly there that were H1B visa applicants. Where's the update on that, Kaylee?
- [45:05]
Kaylee Campbell
So for right now, there's actually a lot of other small things happening. There's the F1 student visa fraud. I have emails right now regarding certain individuals and trying to figure out how to go about that without just doxing people. But there's alleged rumors of visa fraud with students and applying for jobs. They're putting fake birthdays on their driver's license. They're making fake driver's license in general, and they're forging documents to jobs and they're forging documents to schools, universities, things like that. And so trying to get to the bottom of that is going to be very intricate and very difficult. But it's happening not just within, like the tech, but everywhere.
- [45:47]
Grant Stinchfield
Kaylee, last question for you. You people, like Nick Shirley, have been very instrumental in raising awareness to these types of issues. What do you need from people out there? What do you tell people when you recommend how we all fight back on this stuff?
- [46:00]
Kaylee Campbell
My top number one recommendation is show up and show out. I think that with gathering people at things like city council meetings, that's been my number one priority. We've seen kind of the result of that at Frisco, for example, some good, some bad. But when people actually start showing up in numbers and when people actually utilize their ability to speak, because the Muslims and the people who are committing these crimes, they're kind of using your First Amendment against you. So you have to go in and understand your rights and also use the rights that are given to you against them because we have the legal authority to do so. So if they're going to come in and take advantage of that, then at least utilize your right to do so.
- [46:43]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, it's great advice. Well, we love your boldness, Kaylee Campbell, and you keep up the good work. Any, any movement on any front. You let us know, we'll get you right back on.
- [46:53]
Kaylee Campbell
Absolutely. Thank you so much.
- [46:55]
Grant Stinchfield
All right. Absolutely. And you can find her on Instagram at kaylee underscore Ashlin. All right. All right, folks, real quick. Mom, Donnie, the mayor of New York, he's all ticked off. You know, one of the city council workers, finally we got the okay to deport him. He had a record for assault. No right to work in America here illegally. And this is what one of the city council members says after Zohan Mamdani was all upset about it. Roll cut.

right way, he is arrested and detained and likely on a path to removal. Unless. Listen, that's not what ICE says. ICE says he has a criminal history of assault and his papers were not good to work here. But that's par for the course of the Democrats. And guess what? It looks like a federal judge agreed with ICE and he is now set to be deported back to Venezuela. All right. Millions of Americans are looking for ways to feel better, get in shape and improve overall health. We have a solution to that. Next. Welcome back, everyone. You know, we got some, some great sponsors on this program and this network. I want to bring in one of them now to showcase some of their products. Doctor of Oriental medicine and professor of Natural Medicine Dr. Joseph Clark is with us. He is with PureHealthResearch.com that's Pure Health Research dot com. Doc, welcome to the program. Maybe I can ask you first, why don't you tell people what some of the most popular products are for pure health research today.
- [49:00]
Zohan Mamdani
Absolutely. Thanks for having me. So I would say the most popular products are something called Liver health formula is really the best of these natural formulas that they have and they have 48. So it's important that you check their website and see what's really best for you. But liver health formula is a fan favorite with over 2 million bottles sold. And as the name implies, this formula supports thriving liver health. It could reduce fat deposits in the liver, ignite metabolism to trim belly fat and flush out harmful toxins to give you a nice boost in energy. Another one that is very, very popular is called lymph system support. And for anyone who's struggling with swelling or fluid retention in their extremities, especially their legs, ankles or feet, they're going to love this natural formula, it helps flesh out that extra fluid to alleviate uncomfortable swelling or tightness. It could even restore more shapely legs. And lymph system support works by promoting a healthy lymphatic system, which helps flush out extra fluid, fats and toxins. And one big one, which is probably my favorite, because if you don't get your blood sugar in line, then it's very difficult to get everything else in line. Everything else is almost downstream from that. And one big bestseller for them is called Blood sugar Formula. Now, as you can probably guess, this formula helps support healthy blood sugar levels. It could also reduce appetite and crush sugar cravings, making it easier to stay away from those tempting sweets. Maintaining healthy blood sugar has so many advantages, from dropping extra pounds to shrinking belly fat to boosting your energy levels. And of course, keeping your blood sugar in check can help keep your vision, kidneys, heart and circulation healthy, too.

- [51:00]
Grant Stinchfield
all right, real quick on the blood sugar formula. Would you know you have a blood sugar problem or. A lot of people throughout America go through life not even understanding they have a blood sugar problem?
- [51:14]
Zohan Mamdani
Well, I would say most people don't know. And even folks that run their labs and look at their blood sugar, they. They think that they're within lab range and they're okay. But lab range, if you're out of lab range, you're already in a disease state. So actually you want to be well below lab range for your blood sugar and your hemoglobin A1C. And I would say if you're eating processed foods on a regular basis, most likely. And let's say you're over the age of 35 or 40, most likely your blood sugar is, is not where it needs to be.
- [51:46]
Grant Stinchfield
So I take it all of these can be taken as a daily supplement. 10 seconds, if you can. For me.
- [51:52]
Zohan Mamdani
Well, the most important thing if you're going to take them is you be consistent. So, yes, you take it every day. Ideally, you know, let's say blood sugar for me, or you're taking that with every meal and you do that, that's when you're going to get your results.
- [52:05]

Beloved action movie star Chuck Norris has passed away at 86. We'll talk about his legacy next. All right, welcome back, everyone. I am sad to tell you that Chuck Norris has died. This guy was a legend on the big screen. You know, he started as a martial arts instructor and it was Steve McQueen who told him to get into acting. And I can remember so many movies he was in with Bruce Lee, by the way. And then you got Delta Force and we could forget Walker, Texas Ranger. I'm in. I'm in Texas, by the way. This is him talking about the Chuck Norris jokes. Remember those, the memes? What was the other question? Yes, sir. Is it true there's a fist behind your beard? When I was coming over here, I was going to shave my beard with a rock to find out if there was, but the rock begged for mercy. So I. So many Chuck Norris memes out there like that about Chuck being a tough guy. And he really was. I got to meet him. May he rest in peace. He was a real Texas hero. An American hero, too. What a legend. This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
