KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. The “Big, Beautiful Gift” from Iran ([03:32] – [09:07])

• Context: Donald Trump claims Iran has given the U.S. a “big, beautiful gift,” sparking speculation regarding its nature and significance.
• Grant speculates the gift may be "an oil tanker or possibly even control of Karg Island," highlighting the potential geopolitical implications for oil transit and U.S. leverage in the region.
• Trump insists the deal is “not nuclear,” but “oil and gas related” ([03:32] Trump):
  “They gave us a present… a very significant prize…and it was oil and gas related.”
• Guest Mike Sorelli (retired Navy SEAL) agrees that the gift likely involves significant energy assets and stresses the shifting power dynamics in Iran between the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) and political leadership.
• Sorelli warns: “With Trump, you never know, but any deal with Iran’s military is temporary—they’ll shake your hand and lie through their teeth” ([09:52] Mike Sorelli).
• Sorelli highlights a realignment in the region, with Gulf States and Israel signaling readiness for collective action against Iran: “For the first time, we’ve seen Gulf states cooperate with Israel. …Iran’s own strategic miscalculations have built a coalition willing to pay the cost to keep the Strait of Hormuz secure.” ([11:34] Mike Sorelli)

---

2. U.S. Political Response to Iran & “Psyop of Negativity” ([06:50] – [13:26])

• Grant criticizes both Democrats and some Republicans for skepticism and inaction: “People like Senator Van Hollen can only make wild claims… The left can’t admit a debilitated Iran is good for the world.” ([06:50] Grant)
• Grant and Sorelli argue the need for “total removal of Iranian leadership” for real change, noting the ephemeral nature of deals that lack internal unity.
• Sorelli ties the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro to a broader U.S. energy and foreign policy strategy, aimed at weakening Russia and China ([12:25] – [12:49]).

---

3. Frustration with DHS Funding & Senate Maneuvering ([13:26] – [19:16])

• Grant lashes out at Congress for “wasting time” over DHS budget deals that “don’t actually affect ICE funding,” labeling the process “a joke on all of us” ([13:26]).
• Notable moment: Senator John Kennedy’s blunt soundbite ([15:59]):
  “What we’re doing right now is a Great Dane size whiz down the leg of every TSA employee and everybody else at DHS who shouldn’t be paid.”
• Democrats “refuse to fund ICE” but Grant notes ICE operations are “already funded”—calling the standoff political theater.
• Grant calls for abolishing the filibuster and passing the SAVE Act through budget reconciliation, expressing exasperation with party leadership on both sides.

---

4. Arctic Frost Scandal: Government Surveillance ([19:16] – [22:21])

• Grant is incensed about revelations from the “Arctic Frost” investigation, comparing the Biden DOJ’s surveillance on Trump associate Susie Wiles to Watergate:
  “If Watergate was just a single break-in, this is 200 times worse.” ([19:49] Grant)
• Jay Ratliff and Jim Hoff echo these concerns, demanding prosecutions for apparent violations of attorney-client privilege and political targeting ([19:40] – [21:02]).

---

5. First Amendment Victory at the Supreme Court ([22:21] – [25:44])

• Jim Hoff details a Supreme Court win against government censorship of conservative news outlets ([22:58]): “The government cannot take any actions…to threaten social media companies…to suppress content protected under free speech.” ([24:37] Jim Hoff)
• Hoff describes how government pressure led to viral conservative stories being suppressed and celebrates the consent decree as a victory for free speech.

---

6. Border Security, Crime, and “Sanctuary” Cities ([29:18] – [37:51])

• Grant covers two high-profile murders of American women by illegal aliens—Salt Lake City and Chicago—lambasting Democrat officials for “excuses” and “victim blaming.”
• Notable quote mocking a Chicago alderwoman ([31:12] Grant):
  “I carry a firearm everywhere I go. …I was startled by a guy bringing a package. I did not throw down my firearm and shoot him, okay?”
• Clips of Trump and Rep. Mike Lawler frame the debate:
  “Democrats in Congress do not care how much American blood they shed in their demented pursuit of open borders.” ([35:10] Donald Trump)
• Blames Democrat “sanctuary city” policies for the climate of lawlessness, accuses Democrats of seeking to “flood the country [with illegals] so they can vote” ([36:41] Grant).
• Senator Chris Murphy’s phrase “undocumented Americans” is mocked:
  “What the hell does that mean… You’re undocumented, give me a break.” ([37:45] – [37:51] Grant)

---

7. Aviation Safety: LaGuardia Incident ([41:17] – [48:26])

• Grant and aviation expert Jay Ratliff review air traffic controller audio of an Air Canada plane colliding with a fire truck at LaGuardia ([41:17] – [47:39]).
• Ratliff credits the controller’s composure:
  “He kept it together…just goes to show how well trained these men and women are.” ([44:27] Jay Ratliff)
• Grant and Ratliff agree initial evidence points to a “series of mistakes” and remind listeners not to jump to conclusions.

---

8. American Energy Independence & Investment ([50:50] – [56:09])

• Mark Bruner (Lost Soldier Oil & Gas CEO) discusses a natural gas project in Wyoming, emphasizing Trump's “drill baby drill” policies making investments fully tax-deductible in year one ([52:19]).

9. Law Enforcement & English Proficiency ([59:26] – [59:49])

• Grant spotlights a Florida State Trooper who pulled a non–English-speaking semi driver out of service:

So I think it's really important that companies stay flexible. Cancer in a diagnosis can be all consuming, but it doesn't have to be.

[Grant]

Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. Let's start off the show tonight by playing a game. Let's play a game called Guess the gift. What could Donald Trump have gotten from Iran that he says is such a beautiful mystery gift from Iran that's worth all kinds of money? To me, getting any kind of gift from Iran proves we're winning. But here's the president.

[Donald Trump]

They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present and the president arrived today and it was a very big president worth a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to tell you what that president is, but it was a very significant prize and they gave it to us and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me, would deal with the right people. No, it wasn't nuclear related. It was oil and gas related.

[Grant]

All right, A big gift worth a lot of money. So the speculation is it has something to do with the Straits of Hormuz. To me, that's too basic. That's not going to be what it is. If we somehow got all of a sudden free passage through the Straits of Hormuz, you would have announced that I believe it could be an oil tanker. It could be a tanker filled with, with fuel and other other things that would make sense. It's big. It's, it's worth a lot of money. The other thing it could be is a piece of property. I don't know if it would be Carg island, but imagine if Iran gave the United States control of Carg island and then to control how the oil leaves Iran. That's a huge, big, beautiful gift that would be very good for the United States. That would also lead me to say, all right, President Trump wouldn't want to say what the gift is because we don't know if it's really legit or not. Which again, gets me back to the idea that it's an oil tanker. Okay. Or it could be something even more broad, like just control the sale of oil. It'll be run through the United States and that would give us a lot of power. That would be not just a political victory, but a big time victory in every sense of the word. This is President Trump again, cut to. Are we negotiating on who's going to control the Strait from now on, no,

[Donald Trump]

we'll have control of anything we want. Look, if we can end this without more lives being down, without knocking out $10 billion electric plants that are brand new and the apple of their eye, I'd like to be able to do that, you know.

[Grant]

All right, so now the big question is, who is actually in control of Iran? That may be more of a mystery than the actual gift they gave us. By all accounts, the irgc, the military is looking like it's the controlling faction here. I'm not sure if that's who President Trump is dealing with. I would imagine the IRGC in command of Iran would be unacceptable to President Trump and the United States of America. So we shall see who we're dealing with. That's what we need to know first and foremost. Trump again.

[Donald Trump]

And it starts with no nuclear weapons, and they've agreed to that. There won't be any nuclear weapons. They're not going to have. And they're not going to have enrichment, any of those things. But look, I hate to say that we're in a very good bargaining position, but. And I hate to say that they're defenseless because, you know, until that last missile is fired, have little power. But we are in about the best bargaining position. We're way ahead of schedule.

[Grant]

I believe that's true and I believe he is correct. I mean, you're in a great bargaining position when you've destroyed leadership, when you've destroyed much of their infrastructure. Their military command system is all but non existent. Yes, they're able to get off a missile here or there. That will be taken care of, I believe, in short order as well. So what is the left left with? Certainly not reality. I would think if you're a United States senator of any party, Democrat or Republican, you'd admit that a debilitated Iran makes the world much safer. But nope. People like Senator Van Hollen can only resort to making wild claims like this. And Senator, let me just put that to you. Who do you think is telling the truth? Casey? Unfortunately, we've learned that Donald Trump has been lying to the American people from the start. And he keeps lying to the American people, which is never a good thing. So you believe the Iranian officials over the President of the United States? I believe that based on all the information that's available and Donald Trump's track record of lying. Explain to me his track record of lying. I don't see it. I see a man who's predicted just about everything and it's all come true. Now, he's Talking about Iran says, oh, we're not in discussions to make a deal, though you had the foreign minister here in the United States come out and say, yes, they are. So you know, the media is pushing the psyop of negativity. Democrat senators are pushing a psyop of negativity. You would think even Chuck Schumer is Jewish, for crying out loud, would acknowledge that Iran's military capabilities degraded makes everyone across the world, specifically Jews across the world, safer. But no, it's got to be anti Trump. Donald Trump's war with Iran now enters its fourth week. There's no end in sight. Instead of giving the American people a clear plan for how to move forward, the President of the United States, the Commander in Chief continues, unfortunately, to flail. It's unbelievable, really. I want to bring in now to discuss all of this, retired U.S. navy SEAL commander and chief talent Officer at Overwatch. Mission Critical. Mike Sorelli is with us. Mike, welcome back to the show.

[Mike Sorelli]

Hey, Grant, Good to be here.

[Grant]

All right, Mike, let's take this step by step. First off, the big, beautiful gift from Iran. Would you care to speculate on what it could be?

[Mike Sorelli]

You actually guessed what I would have said, and that is a tanker. Now, the magnitude of the taker, which you got to assume is a large, you know, gas tanker, could be the gift. You'd mentioned Karg island at this point with Trump and this is part of his power, who knows?

[Grant]

Yeah. What about command of Iran? Right now, word is you got the IRGC military going in and overwhelmingly people think that they're the ones in control. How difficult is this to assess?

[Mike Sorelli]

Well, really, there's two factions within the Iranian regime. You've got the security apparatus, the IRGC leadership, and of course, the political figures. The irgc. The security apparatus to include the defense apparatus, has always been the stronger of the two. So we probably sense a little bit of back channel diplomacy going on using Pakistan as an intermediary. But guys, these negotiations have two purposes. One, he's testing diplomacy. President Trump, which, given our past history with Iran, they've never operated in good faith. Why would they change their tune now? And two, he could be using the timing to reposition troops. We've gotten word that the 82nd Airborne is mobilizing. We know we have thousands of Marines aboard amphibious landing craft vessels heading to the Middle East. The Gerald Ard Ford has departed due to some maintenance issues and they'll be backfilled by the USS George H.W. bush carrier strike group. So he may need a little time. He knows these Negotiations are going to fail. And quite frankly, Grant, it's like getting the football to the 10 yard line. We've got the finish line in sight. You know, any negotiations from Iran, they're temporary. They're not in good faith. They smile to you, they lie through their teeth. It'll just be. It'll end up in tragedy two, three, five years down the line for another presidency to deal with.

[Grant]

And you know, it is a reality that if you make a deal with one faction and somehow the other faction ends up in control, then the deal is off. Which is why ultimately what we need are the people to take over. And I think the only way that happens is if leadership from all the entities you mentioned are completely wiped out. Mike?

[Mike Sorelli]

Yes, I agree with you. The left will not. Here's the thing that everyone's missing. For the first time in our history, we've seen the Gulf states in cooperation with Israel, the hope of Neighbor Ham's Accord 2.0. But you're seeing or hearing strong rhetoric from the royalty in Saudi Arabia. They're done with Iran. They're close to taking action. You've got Bahrain that's backing a draft that says by all means necessary. Iran's strategic miscalculations not only hitting their Gulf partners, but launching those two intermediate range ballistic missiles on Diego Garcia has created a coalition. And that's the story that everyone is missing, that the future of the Middle east and the security of the Strait of Hormuz is probably going to be well in hand at the hands of a coalition willing to pay the cost to keep it secure.

[Grant]

Mike, I would take it one step further. I think the snatching up of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela also is part of this operation. And that's to separate from Russia and China and Iran and to cause all kinds of economic problems from them with this oil, that this is bigger than just nuclear weapons inside Iran. I give you the last word here.

[Mike Sorelli]

You're absolutely right. Look at the subsequent nature of these operations. First we capture Maduro, we release Venezuelan oil into the open market, then we go after Iran. Who does this injure? And you just said it. Both Russia, but especially China. China is in economic peril without the power and the energy to fuel their production, their manufacturing and their growth. So he has played 4D chess like no other president on foreign policy before.

[Donald Trump]

Yeah.

[Grant]

Great stuff as always. Mike Sorelli, I appreciate you coming on the program. Of course, we appreciate your service to America and thanks for the insight, my friend.

[Mike Sorelli]

Thanks, Grant.

[Grant]

Absolutely. We'll see how this plays out. I Promise you don't put any money against President Trump. That would be a grave, grave, grave mistake. All right, I've got some good news to report real quickly. The new Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen, has been sworn in. That is great. But now I'm going to tell you the ridiculous things that I'm watching in the United States Senate. What a bunch of time wasters here, okay? From the grandstanding of Republicans thinking they're appeasing the base from doing this talking nothing. It wasn't even a filibuster to get nothing out of it to now we're told there may be a deal in the Senate. And when you hear the deal, you're going to be so angry until you hear the actual deal. The deal would be to fund dhs everything except the enforcement operations of ICE that are tasked with removing the illegals. Now, you're going to say what I said. Holy cow, we're not agreeing to that. No, not a way, shape or form. And then you realize that ICE operations are already funded. We don't need approval to fund them. So Democrats will get to vote saying we didn't vote to fund them, and Republicans will push it through and it'll say we funded them. And the joke's on all of us for watching this go on for three weeks. These people are jerks. Republicans, Democrats alike. There's a few good Republicans up there, but for the most part, I'm done with them all. What a waste of freaking time, man. If this deal goes through, I don't even know if I want it to go through, quite frankly. Here's President Trump, he's in the same boat. You support the what appears to be

[Jay Ratliff]

emerging agreement coming out of the Senate to reopen the.

[Donald Trump]

Look at it. And we're going to take a good, hard look at it. I want to support Republicans and you know, sometimes it's awfully hard to get votes when you have Democrats that don't want to have voter id, they don't want to have proof of citizenship.

[Grant]

They don't want it because they want to cheat. We've talked about that a million times. A deal now, are you. Are you kidding me? So what was this for? What was the whole thing for? Republicans couldn't have just offered this up from the very start with. Democrats have taken that from the very start. What did Democrats do to us to hold us up for all of this? They're all worthless, by the way. They really are. I say take a hard line. I'm with the President. You know what I'M done. Now, let's just say the DHS funding bill, the Save America act, nothing gets passed unless you pass it together. Here's John Kennedy. He is one of the good guys.

[Mark Bruner]

What we're doing right now is a Great Dane size whiz down the leg

[Grant]

of every employee at TSA and everybody else at DHS who shouldn't be paid.

[Mark Bruner]

And we're given a bunch of pretty speeches on the floor when the truth is and everybody knows it, the Democrats are not going to vote for anything, anything that has to do with ice.

[Grant]

Of course not. So it was all just a waste of time, which is why you ought to throw out the filibuster. Just get everything done anyway. So what do the Democrats have? They certainly don't have policy. They have fools like this idiot Hakeem Jeffries. Well, we have to take a look at what the definition of ICE's law enforcement capacity is. What they are allowed to do in terms of funding and not do, and

[Jim Hoff]

what type of changes are in the legislation that is presented.

[Grant]

When we've been very clear from the beginning, ICE needs to be brought under control. We cannot have a situation where taxpayer dollars are being used to brutalize and kill American citizens. He knows how reckless a statement that is. He knows how disingenuous, how phony, what a lie that statement is. It's irresponsible, but he doesn't care. That's Democrats. So now what do we get? We get John Thune. You wait till you hear this soundbite, okay? Because this is really, if, if this doesn't send you off the seat of your couch or maybe swerve out of a lane. If you're listening in a car as we're driving, John Thune now says maybe we passed the SAVE act through reconciliation, something John Kennedy and myself, by the way, had offered up weeks ago because we knew it wouldn't pass any other way. John Thune and I think there are a number of our colleagues in the Senate. We just came out of, of a luncheon where this was discussed and I think there's a lot of support for budget reconciliation bill. We have two legislative vehicles, as you know, available to us so we could tee one of those up and, and that's an option and we'll see if, if that's what it takes to get some of these things across the finish line. A lot of support. There was a lot of support weeks ago and you told us no, that was ridiculous idea, couldn't be done, couldn't get it past the Senate Parliamentarian what are they doing up there? I mean, I'm really, really frustrated, and you should be, too, because I don't think they know what they're doing. And the sad reality is, well, the happy reality is they have a commander in chief in the White House who does know what he's doing, and they do not follow his lead. Now, there was a hearing on Capitol Hill today that did get to the bottom of some things that I'm happy about. This was the hearing into Arctic Frost. This is this operation by Joe Biden and regime to spy on political foes like President Trump. Susie Wiles was on a call with her attorney. They spied on that phone call. Listen to this.

[Mark Bruner]

How would you compare the scope of

[Grant]

the violations in Arctic Frost to Watergate? I think, if anything, it might even be greater. I mean, the scope of this in terms of the sheer number of people and organizations affected. And as I discussed, I mean, this brazen violation of attorney client privilege, wiretapping a phone call between Susie Wiles and her lawyer.

[Mike Sorelli]

These are egregious offenses.

[Grant]

And, you know, if Watergate was just

[Mike Sorelli]

about a single break in, I mean,

[Jay Ratliff]

this is effectively, you know, compound that by 200.

[Grant]

I don't know. I'm getting mad again here. I really am. If it's Watergate 2.0, why haven't we seen any prosecutions? Why haven't the FBI agents who were in charge of this, why hasn't any of the DOJ officials that were signing off on this, including Merrick Garland, been hauled in and arrested? That's what needs to happen. Stop with the hearing. I see. I thought it was good news. And then I hear the sound bite, and I think, oh, man, this is just another stupid hearing in Washington. I want them hauled in, not under oath in a Senate hearing, but in a courtroom with a judge and a jury. I would like to bring on now founder and editor of the Gateway Pundit, my buddy Jim Hoff. Jim, I'm sorry for the anger and getting upset here, but I don't know, Are you as frustrated as I am with all of this?

[Jim Hoff]

Absolutely, Grant. And we know if Democrats were in charge of, there'd be hundreds of people in jail already.

[Grant]

They don't care.

[Jim Hoff]

They'll throw you in jail. They wanted to do that with Trump. They had ridiculous charges against him. We found out this week that Mar? A Lago was worth, I think, 650 million. Not the 16 million that Letitia James accused Trump of using that number so that she could get some money out of him. I mean, it's just crazy. These guys are crazy. They will do anything they can to destroy Republicans. And yet we have these marshmallow types who are, you know, who can't. We don't have an indictment yet. You know, I think most of us are shocked, the hardcore Trump people, because we're like, yeah, now Trump's back in charge. He's gonna get him. We're gonna stop this lawlessness on the left. And we haven't seen it at all yet.

[Grant]

You know, I don't even think it's Trump holding it up. I don't know what it is inside the doj. I know there's deep staters still dug in there. I think it's a DOJ issue. Jim, you.

[Jim Hoff]

Oh, absolutely, yeah. And I hear from a lot of my friends, I'm sure you have from your friends, too, that they just think that Pam, Bonnie's not up for the job. Cash Patel is not up for the job as the FBI chief, so. Exactly. I think we need to get some different people in there. They've showed us this past year, you know, what they can accomplish, and it wasn't much, really.

[Grant]

I may be biased. Cash is a close friend of mine. I think he may be hamstrung, and I think he may be hamstrung coming from the doj. I don't want to throw him under yet, though. I know a lot of people do. Hey, I wanted to bring up this. We will talk about some good news, and I need it right now. You got great news out of the Supreme Court. You brought this case against the go the government about overreach for so many things and censorship and government officials censoring outlets like the Gateway Pundit, people like me. You had a huge victory here. Can you explain this to the people what just went down?

[Jim Hoff]

Yeah. So we found out today, after several years, actually, that we won our case against the US Government. What was happening was that the Biden administration was using their power to pressure social media outlets to censor conservatives, basically. I don't know of any other groups that were censored. Some of the, like Bobby Kennedy was censored. Some of the COVID people were censored. But it was devastating. So they had. We could put a story up. It'd go viral for a minute, and then all of a sudden, there's no traffic to it. They had done that to thousands of our articles. We still had record traffic to our site. But, my gosh, they really were trying to take us out and destroy us. And so we filed this with Missouri and Louisiana. Eric Schmidt was the AG at the time in Missouri. Governor Laundrie was the AG in Louisiana. We went to the Supreme Court in 24, and you'll have to read it at Gateway Pundit. And we didn't get the results we wanted, but we went back and we did win. And there's a really critical line that came out in today's ruling. And what it is, I'd love to read it here real quick. That is that.

[Grant]

Let's see.

[Jim Hoff]

The government cannot take any actions, formal or informal, directly or indirectly, to threaten social media companies with some form of punishment unless they remove, delete, suppressors, reduce content that is protected under free speech that was put in there. So the government can't do that anymore. That's a big win for the American people.

[Grant]

And in this, if I read it, I believe it was in a consent decree that I read. And it basically, the government admitted that it had government officials suppressing speech and ordering social media companies to suppress speech. That's huge. And I don't think the mainstream media is going to report on this at all.

[Jim Hoff]

Probably not.

[Grant]

Right?

[Jim Hoff]

Because they weren't affected, so they didn't really care.

[Grant]

Is that the truth? Jim, I'm grateful that you brought this suit and saw it all the way through. Look, it takes a lot of time, energy, and money to do things like this. This is why we love the Gateway Pundit and we love you coming on the program, my friend. Thank you, as always.

[Jim Hoff]

I urge you to go check them out at the gate. Gateway Pundit.com all right, I'm gonna take a deep breath and then we're gonna continue this show.

[Grant]

for healing, learn more, and sign the [e-mail]. Welcome back, everyone. We've got another story, a sad one for you. This one comes out of Salt Lake City. Another illegal alien is now accused of murder. Another one with a long history killing an American citizen. If you take a look at this video, it's pretty brutal. Apparently he tried to strangle her to death. Do we have that video or no? Of her? Would the. With the. Maybe not. Apparently he tried to strangle her to death. And she's caught on surveillance tape, basically underneath a wheelbarrow. And she struggles to get out. Her throat is slit, and she ultimately dies. That man you just saw, Jesus Alejandro Ramirez Padilla, an illegal alien from Mexico, which tells me that woman never needed to die. Then we turn to the story I'm sure you've heard about this Loyola student Sheridan Gorman, who was killed by an illegal alien in a brutal fashion. She was out with her friends. Yes, it was late at night. But do you want to hear what the Democrat response is to this? Listen to this alder woman from Chicago all the time, right?

[Martha Stewart]

And they go out on the pier, they walk around. So the kids were out doing normal, normal things people do in the neighborhood. And it sounds like this might have

[Grant]

been a wrong place, wrong time, running into a person who had a gun.

[Martha Stewart]

They might have startled this person at

[Grant]

the end of the pier unintentionally,

[Martha Stewart]

but that's.

[Grant]

I carry a firearm everywhere I go. There are times when I have been startled. In fact, I was power washing my front steps and I was carrying and I was startled by a guy bringing a package. I did not throw down my firearm and shoot him, okay? How dare her. Wrong place at the wrong time startled him. He killed this woman. Now, J.B. pritzker is the governor of Illinois. What does he say about all this? I agree there have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois. That's their national failures. A failure to have comprehensive immigration reform. A failure of the president to follow his own edict, to go after the worst of the worst. Worst. A failure on behalf of President Trump. He's exactly. Doing exactly what you just said you wanted him to do, go after the worst of the worst. How dare you. But this man is Such a hypocrite. He released a video. This is like a year ago, but I'm going to play it for you because it's Governor Pritzker out for a walk, telling us how safe Chicago is down by the lake. Virtually the same spot where this poor young woman was killed. Listen to him. Lots of runners coming by on the lakefront path. Lakefront trail. Absolutely gorgeous. Walking around here. Early morning on the south lakefront Trail.

[Jay Ratliff]

South side, just gorgeous. Look at that overpass.

[Grant]

Look at how beautiful it is. He says, out for a walk, sun coming up. First off, the sun coming up. It's not 3 o' clock in the morning.

[Donald Trump]

2.

[Grant]

You didn't see him in the picture. But there's no way the governor of Illinois is out for a walk in Chicago without security surrounding him. So stop with the oh, Chicago was so safe. As I'm out for my walk. Look how beautiful it is. And I will tell you, that can be a beautiful walk. At least it was when you're not looking behind your shoulder the whole time waiting for someone to kill you. That's what Chicago has become because of Democrat policies. Democrat policies from people like who? Mayor Brandon Johnson, that's who. But for your policies, will you take

[Jim Hoff]

this opportunity to apologize again that we're

[Mark Bruner]

all, we're all grieving the loss of

[Grant]

Sheridan and other folks who have lost their lives because of sentence violence. And let's just be very clear, between the Safety act and the Welcoming City ordinance. Welcome in. City ordinance was passed 40 years ago by the first black mayor in the history of Chicago. What was this guy doing with a gun in the first place? An illegal gun? Again, these are not NRA members, Gun Owners of America members going around killing people. These are illegals who have firearms. Illegal firearms. They shouldn't be possessing them in a city with more gun laws than we can imagine. And again, what do they want to do? Blame Republicans? You have sanctuary city laws where you literally say, hey, come into our city. We won't do anything to you. Even if you do something, we'll arrest you and then we'll just let you back out on the street. Of course you're going to get a boatload of criminals calling Chicago, Illinois home and Los Angeles and Baltimore and Detroit. And the list goes on and on and on. Here's President Trump today. He knows her name.

[Donald Trump]

Democrats in Congress do not care how much American blood they shed in their demented pursuit of open borders. From Sheridan Gorman to Jocelyn Nungri Lake and Riley, their quest to flood our country with illegal aliens has left countless American victims in its wake. They never changed. They see what's happening. They never change. That's what they want.

[Grant]

You know, it's amazing to me how the Democrats are on the wrong side of every single issue. If you told me, hey, do you want illegal aliens coming into your city and killing American citizens? Beautiful college students? Shoot them in the head. Kill them right there as they're out for a walk with their friends. Would you like that to happen? You would think they'd say no, but how do you explain their policies that enable all of those things to happen over and over and over again? The same thing's happening in a city like New York. Roll Representative Mike Lawler. This is precisely why I and many of my colleagues supported the Lake and Riley act, so that these types of criminal offenses taken seriously and that illegal immigrants are turned over to ice. This is why immigration enforcement matters. This is why local jurisdictions refusing to cooperate, refusing to accept the detainer requests are wrong,

[Donald Trump]

folks.

[Grant]

What they want. What they want is to have us flooded with illegals so they can vote. What they want is you scared to death. And ultimately, they want to defund ice, fundamentally reorganize dhs. That means do away with it altogether. Do I dare do this? I might as well. Senator Chris Murphy. He's a lunatic, by the way, from Connecticut. The people of Connecticut ought to be embarrassed that they have elected Chris Murphy into office as a United States senator. But think about it. The people of New York should be embarrassed. They have Chuck Schumer. The people of California should be embarrassed. They have Adam Schiff. I could go on and on, on. Is there one Democrat other than Pennsylvania and John Fetterman you don't need to be embarrassed about? The answer is no. Here's Murphy.

[Mike Sorelli]

That's been a failed play for 20 years.

[Grant]

So you are right that that has been the democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe. And it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the

[Mike Sorelli]

undocumented Americans that are in this country.

[Grant]

Undocumented Americans? What the hell does that mean? That somehow you can't get your birth certificate because you're an American citizen? You're undocumented? Give me a break. None of it makes any sense. They don't make sense. They really don't. I'm frustrated this show. I really am. I had a great lunch. I had a great afternoon, and now I'm. This whole show has made me frustrated. I apologize to all of you if I have made you frustrated as well. At the end of the evening. All right. Listen, we're gonna, we're gonna keep going and I'll keep making you more frustrated probably, all right? Most wireless companies don't care who you are or what you believe.

for healing, learn more and sign the pledge at Working with Cancer pledge dot com. Welcome back, everyone. I'll tell you what, this air traffic controller certainly had his hands full at LaGuardia Airport. They had another emergency right before this Air Canada plane was landing. Listen to this. Truck one stop. Grand 2384 is declaring an emergency. The flight attendants in the back are feeling ill because of the odor. We will need to go into any available gate to this time. Okay, roger that. All right, so people feeling ill in the back of the plane. So you've got that emergency. I believe the fire truck was responding to that. Then you've got the plane. And the air traffic controller clears the Air Canada jet to land on Runway four. Listen. Hey, there's that again. Do you guys have any gate for United? Because now they're declaring an emergency. They want to get out. Yeah, let me ask them. Give me. I'll call you right back. Okay. Right. 646, the water for the ILS, four for J646. 646, number two clear to land. 446 and 2384, do you have a gate available at this time? Otherwise we will be probably requesting Airstairs. Give me one second. All right, so you hear him clear to land, but what happens next? He gives the fire truck the go ahead to cross Runway four. Roll that clip. Frontier 4195, just stop there, please. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Start truck one, stop truck one. Stop. Truck one, stop. 4195, we're staying here. Del. 2603, go around Runway heading 2000. Chad, 646. Jeff, 646, I see a collide with vehicle. Agent's hold position. I know you can't move. The vehicles are responding to you now. Is the Runway closed? Delta 2603, go around Runway heading 2000. Heading 2000, go around. Delta 2603. Tower caring there to reiterate, LaGuardia Airport is closed at this time. No aircraft in or out. All right, then this piece of audio happened shortly after that run, cut nine. That wasn't good to watch. Yeah, I know. I was here. I tried to reach out when I stopped and we were dealing with an emergency earlier. I messed up. No, man, he did the best he could. I messed up. I actually feel for that air traffic controller. He had a lot going on. He did clear the plane to land and then shortly told the truck he could cross. I do think that's a mistake. Now, NTSB says don't jump to conclusions, don't blame air traffic controllers. But I don't know, I call him like I see him. I'm sure he's a well intentioned guy and he probably feels as bad as he could ever feel. He said I messed up. What more do you need? I want to bring in now aviation expert Jay Ratliff to the program. Jay, welcome.

[Jay Ratliff]

Pleasure to be here.

[Grant]

Jay, am I off base? Am I jumping to conclusions?

[Jay Ratliff]

No, I think that those are accurate initial assumptions as far as what we're dealing with here right now. And I'm glad that you played the sequence of events as you did. And one of the things that struck me was after the mistake took place, the collision occurred when a lot of people would have simply lost it. He was immediately ordering aircraft around, ordering emergency vehicles to the scene to assist the fire truck and the aircraft, advising that the airport was shut down and was doing things that he needed to do after the fact. So he kept it together. And that just goes to show just how well trained these men and women are at a time when a lot of us would have been losing our minds, perhaps totally distracted by what took place, certainly feeling like maybe being responsible. No, he was making sure that all the other things were being done as they needed to be done at a time of intense, you know, with a lot of things that were going on at the time. And yes, the National Transportation Safety Board is going to be investigating. And they're very quick to always say, and you. And I've heard it for years. It's a series of things that probably contributed.

[Grant]

I am so glad you raised your reaction. It was the exact same reaction I had now. Not that police training is the same thing, but I've been through a lot of this stuff and you fall back on your training. There was a moment when he said, air Canada, hold your position. And they say you can't move. That was training that had taken over to him. Yet I talked to somebody else at a lunch table and they thought that he was crazy for even saying that. Of course he can't move. I said, you don't understand. This is a process the guy's going through. Through as his train takes over. But at some point, I didn't believe the theory that there was only one controller. That's LaGuardia Airport there. Are you with me on that, Jay? There's no way there was one controller there.

[Jay Ratliff]

Well, there should not have been. Now, I've learned to say over the last 35 years of doing this, don't ever say never, because you never know what.

[Grant]

What.

[Jay Ratliff]

What might have been taking place at the time. You could have had malfunctioning equipment or someone that was ill. There could have been a lot of things that contributed to whatever happened at that particular moment. So we're going to have to wait and see exactly what happened. But, you know, you made the comment about him stopping everything on the ground. Anytime there's an accident, we immediately call for an immediate ground stop of everything. This way, you can have the emergency vehicles respond without everybody stopping. To request clearance to go over an active Runway, you need all hands on deck. You need all the emergency personnel and equipment and services they're post. Hey. So the whole idea is an airport is a matter of procedure. When this happens, everything comes to a stop, everything. So that all the emergency vehicles can get to where they need to as quickly as possible without being deterred by a lot of the start and go type of things that happen. When you have to request permission to cross active runways.

[Grant]

Real quick, if you can, for me, does the fire truck have a responsibility to clear the Runway when he comes up to an active Runway even though he's been cleared like a school bus has to stop at train tracks, does the fire truck have a responsibility to look both ways? I know that's oversimplified, but real quick, if you can, for me.

[Jay Ratliff]

Well, I mean, there is a portion of responsibility, but just like air traffic control giving the pilots clearance to land, that message says it's clear to land. Giving the fire truck permission to cross the Runway is saying the Runway is safe to cross. But trained pilots as well as those on the ground always know your head's on a swivel. You're never anticipating things to be exactly the way you want. Well, and you are looking at. But also remember that. That.

[Grant]

I got it, Jay. I got. I got to cut you off only because I'm so tight on time towards the end of the show, and I apologize to you. Well, I could talk about this. I'm so fascinated. For hours. Jay Ratliff, thank you so much for coming on. Art. As we move forward folks. It's always a series of events that lead up to something. It's never one mistake. I heard that the radio was delayed as well that the that the fire truck was getting from air traffic control. All right, up next, America is reclaiming its position as the energy capital of the world. We'll talk about that next. But first, a quick reminder. Rob Schneider will be joining the real America's voice family on March 25th through the 28th at RAV CPAC coverage in Dallas presented by Patriot Mobile and Birch Gold.

Well, folks, you know, with the war in Iran, you know, it was pretty much insulated from a massive price increase. Natural gas. Why? Because we are reclaiming energy independence when it comes to natural gas. And you have an opportunity to become a part of this. We've told you about the project in Wyoming in the bison basin for 40,000 acres of stacked natural gas formations, high pressure deal, which looks awful damn good. And so I want to bring in the president and CEO of Lost Soldier Oil and Gas to talk about this project. Mark Bruner is back with us. Mark, it's good to see you.

[Mark Bruner]

Good to see you, Grant. Nice to see you again.

[Grant]

All right, absolutely. So one of the things about this project is Trump's big, beautiful bill, am I right? Mark allowed your investment in a project like this to be tax deductible year one.

[Mark Bruner]

That's. That's correct. Not only that, one of the things that, you know, with his philosophy of drill baby drill, you could used to only deduct 80% of it. Now you can deduct it 100% in the same year, which really is a big advantage for people that are trying to look for tax shelters with a long term stream of cash flow to get their money back and make a really good profit.

[Grant]

All right, look, my math may be off, but just to oversimplify this, you make $100,000 investment, you're taxed at 40%. It's the equivalent of like a $60,000 investment.

[Mark Bruner]

That's right. And, you know, that's very exciting. And I think as long as it stays that way and we have an oil and gas price, you know, my best guess is an $80 price is a sweet spot that we're really looking for. I mean, the Permian Basin would shut down anything under $50 a barrel. The drilling will stop. So you need to be sure this drill baby drill program continues to go. And we need stable oil and gas prices, predictable oil prices, to be able to plan to go forward, to make sure that our production stays stable and it will increase. And that will be, that'll be, you know, at the pump. We'll have big reduced prices when that happens.

[Grant]

All right, can you explain to me you have now taken, I believe, years to put together these 40,000 acres. You've got a long history of success in the oil and gas industry. 40,000 acres, and they call them federal units. Can you explain what this means and what the benefit is to the investor?

[Mark Bruner]

Well, I think one of the really important things is the, the nature of the ownership. For example, if you go out in the Permian Basin, they, they segregate the surface from the minerals and some of the small leases there could be, you know, a huge stack of leases in an abstract that, you know, you may have 100 people in 100 acres but here the leases are all owned by the federal government. And so you can check on those leases in 10 minutes and know they are in force and effect. And the other wonderful thing is we've taken all these leases and made a federal unit out of it which is essentially one lease and we can develop that in an orderly way. So we have an agreement with the government to develop the whole oil and gas field which is a huge advantage for us as opposed to somebody else.

[Grant]

And real quick, the QR code is on people's screen. It'll take you right to lostsoldier.com if they want to find out more information about how to, how to get involved in this project. Lastly, I always ask you, this is unique because projects like this were not always available to, I know you have to be an accredited investor. You do. But this is not, you know, Wall street investment banks and, and family offices worth a billion dollars. The everyday person can get involved in that, right in this, right, Mark?

[Mark Bruner]

That's correct. This is a 506C for accredited investors and that's exactly right. We're really looking for high net worth individuals that need tax shelters. Plus they would really like to get a significant return on a brand new basin that's never been explored before because that uranium mine was out here that was telling you about previously on some of the programs. So it's very unique, it's special. And I think this is the new oil and gas business, the overpressured gas business. And this is where all the power for AI is going to go to, right where it's going to come from.

[Grant]

And it's right in a spot where you could get this gas into a major pipeline to get it to market. Mark Bruner, let me tell people about how they can find you. I appreciate you coming on the program. Here's where you go folks. Lost soldier.com that's lostsoldier.com scan the QR code on your screen there, Mark. And I, I'm excited. I'm going to be moderating a webinar that he will be holding on Monday. Go to law soldier.com click on invest now and then sign up. You'll see the webinar button in the top right corner. Click on that and sign up for that webinar on Monday. Would be exciting. Excited to see you.
