Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. MAGA Unity at CPAC & Conservative Infighting

[03:10–08:58]

• Stinchfield’s Declaration: "I am MAGA through and through. Make America great again. And nobody, I mean nobody is going to get me to turn on President Trump." (Grant Stinchfield, 03:10)
• He criticizes conservative commentators for divisions, arguing infighting benefits only the left. The “clicks and likes” economy is blamed for fueling dissent among right-wing personalities.
• “You heard that? They sound like Democrats. That does us no good.” (Grant Stinchfield, 05:34)

Notable Quotes:

• “You can have your opinions. I don't care what Tucker thinks, what Megyn Kelly or Candace think … but it doesn't mean you turn on everything and all of a sudden become anti-Trump or anti-conservative…” (Stinchfield, 05:08)
• “Being our own enemies is not good. Stuff like this, knock this crap off, man.” (Stinchfield, 07:01)

[09:04–10:38]

• Live at CPAC Dallas – Grassroots Emphasis: RAV correspondent Ben Bergquam and activists stress focusing on “the real threat” — the radical left, not each other.
• Jennifer Horn: “We need to realize who the real threat is and it is the socialist Marxist communist crazies that are trying to take over America.” (09:23)
• The solution: local activism, county-level engagement, and “bottom up” strategies (referencing George Soros’s influence at the city level).

2. RINOs, DHS Shutdown, and Congressional Theater

[12:15–17:13]

• Stinchfield slams “RINO” Republicans for “compassion” on border issues, equating leniency with lawlessness.
• Criticizes Congressional hearings on the DHS/TSA shutdown as pointless “performance art.”
• “Almost all the hearings are a waste of time. It’s just performance art so we get more content for Twitter...It’s a big waste of time.” (Alex Marlow, 16:15)

Policy Solutions:

• Privatizing TSA security, funding reform, and shifting blame for inaction predominantly onto Democrats.
• Marlow: Democrats “are taking a stand on behalf of illegally alien criminals.” (18:06)
• Both parties bear blame for not enacting meaningful border reform.

3. US Engagement with Iran – Military & Political Analysis

[21:37–25:38]

• Reports of US-Iran negotiations, pressure on President Trump to hold firm.
• Harward: “It’s clear to everyone that Iran poses an existential threat...If [the regime] survives, they will reconstitute their capabilities and be even a greater threat in the future.” (22:31)
• Unique military proposal: Using “ghost fleets” (non-valuable ships) to challenge and reveal Iranian tactics in the Straits of Hormuz.

Notable Quote:

• “Start moving assets, not valuable ones, through the straits...to reveal their tactics, their techniques, their missiles, and their mines.” (Vice Admiral Robert Harward, 25:38)

4. Los Angeles Mayoral Race & California Politics

[29:45–39:39]

• Stinchfield and Jennifer Horn dissect LA’s mayoral race: Karen Bass is weak with only 25% support; Nithya Raman (more radical) and reality TV star Spencer Pratt are contenders.
• Horn: “Almost half the voters are still undecided about the mayor’s race, which is extremely unusual for an incumbent, especially in LA.” (34:02)
• Discussion of crime, homelessness, and mayoral candidates’ platforms.
• California’s “jungle primary” system, Democrat infighting, and accusations of racism in debate access—all described as symptoms of Democrat dysfunction.
• Horn: “Nithya Rahman makes Karen Bass look like John Fetterman in the US Senate… She wants to abolish the police.” (34:13)

5. Media, Messaging, and Fundraising – Trump Live Address

[47:49–49:30]

• Live from a Trump fundraising dinner: record-breaking $37 million raised; President Trump delivers a rousing, informal speech on party unity, accomplishments, media bias, and election integrity.
• Trump: “We have a group that likes to see our country in trouble and we're going to do something about it.” (48:15)
• Key refrains: push for voter ID, opposition to open borders and mail-in ballots, defense of “America First” achievements, and praise for GOP House leadership.

Notable Moments:

• “Nobody’s done more than we have in this last short period of time. Nobody. It doesn’t make sense.” (Trump, ~49:00)
• “We have to get voter ID and we have to get proof of citizenship. It’s so important, one of the most important things we can do.” (Trump, ~49:45)

---

Notable Quotes

• “The only reason you don't want [voter ID] is because you want to cheat. And they do cheat and we can't let them get away with this.” (Trump, ~49:45)
• “Our country is at stake. Really. Our country is at stake. These people are crazy that we're dealing with.” (Trump, ~50:55)
• "Avoid two things. The devil does this every single time. Avoid division and distraction. Stay focused on God's mission." (Ben Bergquam, 12:09)

• Ben Bergquam’s grassroots rallying cry: “Avoid division and distraction. Stay focused on God's mission.” (12:09)

• President Trump on media: “When you listen to the news, you think we're losing a war in Iran where we're decimating the other side. … The fake news really has to change.” (~50:50)

---

Tone & Delivery

• Assertive, passionate, and combative – emphasizing movement loyalty, indignation at both left-wing and internal conservative opposition, and humor/self-deprecation (especially from Trump).
• Frequent use of rallying language, war metaphors, and a focus on “real” activism and “enemy” identification.
• Blend of direct, sometimes brash, common-sense rhetoric (especially about urban problems and opposition leaders).

---

Conclusion

The episode serves as a rallying cry for conservative and MAGA unity, aggressively critiquing both external and internal obstacles, while conveying urgency ahead of the midterms. Policy debates on immigration, national security, and local politics are filtered through a populist, “America First” lens, culminating in a festive, defiant Trump appearance reinforcing main themes of party solidarity, anti-establishment momentum, and electoral strategy.

how to make hosting look effortless? Here's a secret Getting ahead of the mess with new Reynolds Kitchens Countertop Prep Paper Just lightly wet the counter beforehand so the paper grips and stays in place. Then lay down the Reynolds Kitchen's countertop prep paper so drips and spills stay on the paper, not all over your kitchen counter. You can roll out dough, prep a party spread, or cook alongside family. When you're done, cleanup is as simple as lifting the paper and revealing that clean counter underneath. Effortless. You can use it for cooking and baking prep and even crafting, especially when you need extra working space. Because when the mess is already handled, you can focus on what matters the food, the people and the moment. It may look effortless, but now you know. It's Reynolds Kitchens countertop prep paper. Take a tip from me. Wet it, set it, prep it, done. Make it easy. Make it with Reynolds Kitchens Countertop prep paper available now in the Reynolds Wrap aisle in Walmart.

See full [e-mail] I think when you're diagnosed with cancer, you crave a semblance of normalcy and so work allowed me to be me. 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 Stinchfield]

Research shows there is a significant connection between the ability to continue to work and cancer recovery.

[Grant Stinchfield]

for healing, learn more and sign the [e-mail] Foreign. Welcome to Stitchfield. I want to declare something to all of you tonight and that declaration is that I am MAGA through and through. Make America great again. And nobody, I mean nobody is going to get me to turn on President Trump. Now, it doesn't mean that we can't disagree even with President Trump. But I'm not turning on the man. I will always have his back and I will always stick with the guy who brought us to the dance, the man that has been right about everything. So as CPAC gets to start this week, really started today and really kicks in tomorrow, I'm going to ask Republicans, conservatives, America first, conservatives to try to find some sense of unity at CPAC this week, get back to the basics of making America great again and the the idea of what that means to come together in that quest. Now I'm going to do something tonight that I don't normally do. I try to stay out of this. But I'm going to criticize some of my fellow conservative commentators for things like this.

[Jennifer Horn]

This is an illegal war. The entire world is responding to Trump and saying this is an illegal war. Why are you doing this?

[Alex Marlow]

Israel pushed him into this.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Now, he shouldn't have gone along with it. He should have pushed back.

[Public Podcast Sponsor]

But to pretend that Trump woke up

[Grant Stinchfield]

one morning is like I attributed us

[Martha Stewart]

getting into this war to people like Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Miriam Adelson, who definitely paid Trump.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, listen to me. You can have your opinions. I don't care what Tucker thinks, what Megyn Kelly or Candace thing. I don't. We can have dissent, but it doesn't mean you turn on everything and all of a sudden become anti Trump or anti conservatives. And in the end, you have to understand what they're doing here. I actually believe it's for financial reasons. It's clicks and likes and that's how money is made today, both in the Leftist world and in the conservative blogosphere, clicks and likes, makes big money. So I just got to point this out. You heard that? They sound like Democrats. That does us no good.

[Jennifer Horn]

Listen, this illegal war is based on lies and it was launched without any imminent threat to our nation.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Netanyahu, who for 40 years has wanted a war with Iran, finally got a president to go along with him.

[Jennifer Horn]

There is an illegal war on Iran happening right now. There is an illegal cover up of the Epstein files.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You ever think Jayapal and Candace Owens will be on the same. On the same talking point? Listen to me again. They can have their opinions about Israel, the war. We could debate it till the cows come home. That's fine. But don't stray from President Trump and everything else that he's trying to do to make this country great. The man is stretched to the limit limits right now. And he's standing firm in his quest to make America great again. And I would ask you to support him through that. Know who your enemy is. Your enemy is not Tucker. It's not Candace. It's not Ben Shapiro. It's not Cash Patel. It's not Pam Bun. Those are not our enemies. We can have disagreements with them. Our enemies are Jay Appel and Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

Still.

[Grant Stinchfield]

It's the criminals roaming the streets. It's the illegals. It's holy warriors. It's jihadists. These are the people that I am concerned about and that I literally would fight with if it came down to keeping people safe. So being our own enemies is not good stuff like this. Knock this crap off, man. You're a pedophile protector. A pedophile protector. Pedophile protector. You put you. I was a cop for nine years. You're a pedophile. Pedophile. Pedophile protector. You can say Dan did a bad job. You can. Dan is not a pedophile protector. Maybe we didn't get all we wanted out of the FBI, but really, the man committed a lot to push America in the right direction and back President Trump up. We have midterms coming up. We need all of us on the same page, and that is to beat the Democrats, not tear each other apart. That doesn't do us any good. So now I mentioned CPAC is here. I was just there today. Dallas. The Dallas cpac. And RAV has an unbelievable spread. In fact, I would argue the best spread in the entire room compared to any other network. Okay, It's. It's badass, quite frankly, but let's focus on getting back on track and going after who we need to beat. And that's the Democrats in the midterms. I want to bring in now my very good friend RAV correspondent Ben Berkwum who is in Grapevine, Texas at the CPAC conference this evening. Ben, welcome to the program. Hey, thank you, Grant. I couldn't agree with you more. That is the key. All right, so what do you think, Ben? Will we get that today or tomorrow, the next day at cpac?

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

Well, I want to bring.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Let me, let me. Don't just take it from my word.

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

Let me bring in A2. Two friends over here.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so we've got ice in the House, we've got black lives maga and she's chasing this young lady. Apparently you got to be afraid if you're a Latina in the House and cpac. Ladies, this is the question. You see all this division in maga. You see people attacking on one issue on Israel or not, on Epstein or not. How do we get back? Are we going to get a MAGA unified again?

[Jennifer Horn]

Yes. We need to realize who the real threat is and it is the socialist Marxist communists crazies that is trying to take over America. Like we need. We need to realize who the where the fight really is and it's not between our own. We need to get back to a clear vision and we need to come together and we need to defeat the radical left.

[Audience/Chorus]

Amen.

[Jennifer Horn]

At the end of the day, it's all about unity and we got to stick together and go vote. Yes, it's very important. Go out and vote Republicans. We need you to go vote every time.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And you guys are in Dallas.

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

You guys are working with Colonel Allen west on that. People that want to get involved in

[Grant Stinchfield]

what you guys do.

[Audience/Chorus]

How do they do it?

[Jennifer Horn]

Yes, absolutely. So it's super important. One of the key issues in getting involved is on a county level. And that's what we're seeing a lack of that's coming from the Republicans is not. Is focusing too much on the national and not getting your hands into county level. That's how George Soros has been able to take over cities which is controlling, trying to control the United States at this point. So we got it. We got to get back to square one. We got to get in. It's from the bottom up, not from the top down.

[Audience/Chorus]

God bless you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Where do people follow you?

[Jennifer Horn]

You can follow me on Instagram. Real Auntie Tom On Instagram, Real Auntie Tom. Just Elizabeth Villarrell.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I love it. God bless you. Guys, this is it. This is real. This is real maga.

[Jennifer Horn]

Oh, yeah. Also, also, I'm being told that I don't know what a computer is and that I don't. I can't find a. I don't have access to a birth certificate.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Save. Gosh.

[Jennifer Horn]

Pass the Save America act, please.

[Audience/Chorus]

Save.

[Grant Stinchfield]

God bless you both. Yeah, this is. This is why. This is it, guys. Focus on the important things. This is why we do what we do for people like that out on the streets fighting for us. And I mean, what a great. And Ben, I didn't even tell you what I was going to lead into you with. And that is exactly what I wanted to see. I'll leave you with this, Ben, and give you the last word on this. I actually believe this faction that we're seeing is less than 10% of the MAGA base. It's the finicky crowd. It's the Goldilocks crowd. Means my porridge isn't hot enough. My pillow's not firm enough. That's right. And then it's the click and likes questers that they just have to have clicks and likes. That's it. Real life is not on Twitter. Ben, I give you the last word, God. My last word is God bless Rob Sig. God bless real America's voice News America. God bless America. And avoid two things. The devil does this every single time. Avoid division and distraction. Stay focused on God's mission. When you see division, realize what it is. That's a. That's a lie from the enemy. Stay focused on his mission.

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

Keep moving forward.

[Audience/Chorus]

Amen.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, I mean this not just because you have Sig next to you, which is the founder of this network. What he has put together and the team he has put together is nothing short of amazing. And it is helping push America in the right direction. And you're a big part of that, Ben Berkman. Thank you, my friend. God bless you, brother. We're going to have a great time out here. Absolutely. We're going to see a lot of you, that is for. That is for sure. All right, so now CPAC is. Is underway, which is great. But who is the other enemy? You know, quite frankly, we have Rhino Republicans elected Republicans that are standing in the way in the quest to make America great again. I'll give you an example of this. This is the senator from Utah. He of course, is a Republican. Listen closely. The false narrative is that you can't have rule of law and compassion. And I think that's what our country is built on. I know those are Utah values. And I really believe we can enforce those law. We can have rule of law, but we can also do it with compassion. I think that's where American people are a little bit uncomfortable with some of the things they've seen. You standing next to Adam Schiff, are you kidding me? Compassion about what? If you come here illegally, even if you're well intentioned, you broke the law. I'm sorry you broke the law, but you have to go. Compassion doesn't mean giving someone a pass. But that's what we're dealing with. And even worse is the grandstanding, the obvious that goes on in Washington. Them trying to pretend like they're putting on this big show and fighting for all of us when it's really ridiculous. Do you know they held a hearing in Washington D.C. organized by the Republicans, A hearing on how awful the DHS shutdown is. Well, no, you know what, Sherlock? You don't need a hearing to tell us the DHS shutdown is awful. Here's an example of what we got today.

[Alex Marlow]

Take for example, a 60k a year

[Grant Stinchfield]

TSA agent who's been coming to work

[Alex Marlow]

for the last 40 days but has

[Grant Stinchfield]

now missed three paychecks. In your view as the head HR person, the federal government, what is the impact upon a person like that? Yeah, look, as you, as you mentioned,

[Alex Marlow]

Mr. Chairman, look, it's very severe.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So look at those compensation levels. These are people who literally live paycheck to paycheck, right?

[Public Podcast Sponsor]

So they do not have savings.

[Alex Marlow]

They have to make car payments. They have to make, you know, housing

[Audience/Chorus]

payments and rent payments.

[Grant Stinchfield]

They got to put their kids through school. And yes, there's no question that if

[Alex Marlow]

you are asked to come to work

[Grant Stinchfield]

and you're not paid, that's a problem. Let me make one thing very clear. I 100% feel for those people at TSA. They should not be going through this. My argument right now is with that ridiculousness, we know that Congress needs to get something done about it. Come up with solutions. Don't hold hearings on the past and the obvious, please. What a waste of time. I know TSA agents are suffering, so I came up with a solution. How about we take the $5.60 every traveler pays for one way on their flight that goes to fund TSA. And by the way, Congress takes a third of that. So only 2/3 of that $5.6 funds TSA. The airlines collect it and give it back to the federal government. No more. The airlines keep it and we get private security to take back over TSA and never Let TSA agents be subjected to this shutdown again. And my guess is privatized TSA would do it better and more efficiently than a government organization would. That's how we used to do it. And it wouldn't cost anybody any more money. I want to bring in now host of the Alex Marlow show and editor in chief for Breitbart.com Alex Marlowe is here. Alex, welcome to the show.

[Audience/Chorus]

Well, great.

[Alex Marlow]

See you, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right. I don't know. They have the hearing today on how bad the DHS shutdown is. That just seems like a complete waste of time to me. Am I wrong?

[Alex Marlow]

Almost all the hearings are waste of time. It's funny, Grant. The New York Times did a profile of me about seven, eight years ago, and I proudly made sure that they saw me at my desk watching C Span because I always watch C Span because I always found it to be incredible entertainment and just feeling like I really got the pulse. What's going on in Washington, I never put it on anymore because all these hearings are kind of silly. They're just performance art so we get more content for Twitter and so that people can show their donors clips. It's not really where a lot of the great work gets done in Washington or the bad work gets done. It's just all a big waste of time. And it's very sad to see we know what's going on with the DHS shut down. ICE is almost entirely funded. The Democrats are grandstanding. Ironically, ICE is funded enough that ICE is now replacing the TSA agents because ICE is funded. It's all so political by. The Democrats will never give another penny to ice. And real Americans are suffering. This is the heat of Spring break. People are missing their trips, trips they planned for years. TSA agents are losing money. It all is very embarrassing for both sides, but in particular the Democrats who aren't standing for anything.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, Alex. On the Will Cain show on Fox today, Jason Crowe is a Democrat came on and it was really quite stunning. The Democrats and Republicans said they were going to have a deal if, if. And it's so silly again because. All right, we won't vote to fund ice, but they're already funded.

[Audience/Chorus]

And.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And then Republicans will say, okay, well, the vote won't include funding ice, though. It's already funded. We can all agree and fund everything else. Yeah, they agree to that, and then all of a sudden, they don't agree to it. Listen to, to this.

[Jennifer Horn]

Will. Will. That's not what their proposal does. That. That is not what their proposal does

[Alex Marlow]

their carve outs actually keep in place

[Jennifer Horn]

funding mechanisms that would allow ICE to

[Alex Marlow]

continue to deport people, to conduct abuses?

[Grant Stinchfield]

That's ISIS job is to deport people, Alex?

[Alex Marlow]

Yeah, they enforce immigrations and custom laws. I mean, it's right in the title grant. I mean, this is not some sort of a mystery what they're supposed to do. But just think about what they're doing right now is they're taking a stand on behalf of illegally alien criminals. We know this before, but we watched the young woman, Sheridan Gorman, just getting sacrificed in Chicago on the altar of illegal immigration because they love sanctuary cities, they love sanctuary states, they hate enforcing immigration laws. They think that leftist agitators trying to defend fraudulent leering centers and hospice centers across the country, those are the virtuous people. They think. Chris Murphy said it himself that illegal aliens are the people the Democrats care about the most. Believe them when he says that stuff.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, look, when they say, okay, we'll agree to this, and then move the goalposts down the line saying, all right, no, now we want to get reforms in there, too. Will never get a deal. So what's the answer on all of this, Alex? Do you have one? And if you don't, I completely understand.

[Alex Marlow]

Yeah, thank you for that. No, it's. I really don't have an answer other than that the President needs to do as much as he can with executive orders and knowing that 30% or so are going to get thrown out. But in the meantime, they can work a little bit in the background while they work through the courts, and 70% of them will probably get through. And so that's how you set an agenda right now. And we need to keep pointing out who are the Democrats, what their values are, which is defending illegal aliens, wasting your taxpayer money, wasting your time. And also point out that the Republicans are not really great with the establishment that still is in charge of the leadership of both Congresses. They don't get anything done either. And we should point that out. And we should not settle anymore for weak need Republicans when we have red seats.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, Moy simpatico between here on Stitchfield and Breitbart and Real America's Voice, you guys over at Breitbart do just as what you spelled out. We try to do the same thing, too. And I always appreciate you coming on the program, Alex. I'll tell you this, I'll tell you this. With a staunch 100% record of heterosexuality, you're looking the best you have ever looked on this program. What a sharp outfit, Alex. You wouldn't believe this, that it's.

[Alex Marlow]

This is the third compliment I've got on my shirt and tie today. My jacket, so. But you're. You're a fashionista. I know. You can dance a little bit, too. I saw that on your Instagram.

[Grant Stinchfield]

But I appreciate that.

[Alex Marlow]

You know, it's the. I can't say that I'm mogging right now. I think that's what Gen Z. I guess that I'm look maxing, but I'm trying to improve. So thank you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You're looking good, brother. Thank you for coming on, as always. We appreciate it.

[Audience/Chorus]

Good.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Media Matters.

[Audience/Chorus]

Get that clip.

[Alex Marlow]

Put it out there.

[Grant Stinchfield]

There you go. Exactly. Media Matters, the bane of my existence. I screw it. I love making them watch this show all the time, read Breitbart all the time. They might learn something. All right, turning now to Iran. Okay, Iran continues to claim they're not talking to anybody, but the president has backup. The Arab nations that are engaged in talks with Iran saying, yes, Iran is negotiating with the United States. Well, Caroline Levitt said, hey, look, talks are going well. Listen to this.

[Jennifer Horn]

As President Trump announced on Monday, the United States has been engaged over the last three days in productive conversations which led the president to temporarily instruct the Department of War to postpone planned strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. Only the remaining elements of the Iranian regime have another opportunity to cooperate with President Trump. Permanently abandoned their nuclear ambitions and cease actively threatening America and our allies.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, they have a chance. Will they actually come to the table? Here's what Iran wants. It wants the United States to pay for damages. Not happening. Iran wants payment for ships to pass through the Straits of Hormuz. Those are international waters. You're not getting payment for that, quite frankly. The Wall Street Journal's off on this. The Wall Street Journal has a. Has an article out just today saying, oh, they can make some concessions and a ceasefire. President Trump is not leaving unless he gets everything he wants. I'm making that prediction. I want to bring in now former deputy commander of US Central Command and fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America. Vice Admiral Robert Harward is with us. Admiral, it's great to have you on the program.

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

Thanks for having me.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Do you agree that President Trump is not going to end until he gets all of his goals accomplished?

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

Well, he says what he's going to do, and he's been pretty consistent on that. So, yes, I believe that is his objective. And I remain concerned, though, with some of these negotiation points because it's Clear to everyone that Iran poses an existential threat to the region, to the countries of the GCC and the world economy in their adamant control of the Straits of Hormuz and their ability to project missiles and drones at countries throughout the regions. And remember, this is all occurring because we struck them. Imagine two or three years down the road, we had not acted in that capacity, would have only grown. It may have gotten to the point where we could not act. I remain concerned that the end state needs to be a change of regimes in Iran because if it survives, they will reconstitute their capabilities and be even a greater threat in the future. I believe that is part of the President's strategy.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Admiral, could you take me through the challenges in the Straits of Hormuz? I mean, I look at our military and the might and the unbelievable their job, a job they're doing, taking out all of these strategic targets. What I can understand, I guess, is how we don't have the straits under control. Why aren't we just blasting these suicide boats out of the water, blasting the missile batteries off the face of the earth? Why are we still having such a problem with this?

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

That's a great question. And I'm concerned because we've been planning for this. We've known this could be possible for the last decade or two. We have decimated their navy, we have decimated their missile inventory, we've taken out a great number of drones. But in the interim, indicative of where drone warfare is going. And one of the primary principles of war is mass. They've been able to produce cost effective and very operational effective weapons drones at a very cheap price. And the mass of them present a challenge. And the straits is obviously a choke point, very narrow at its point that all ships will flow through and they become risk of very short range and short range missiles and drone with very little time to respond to it because of the short distance. So I'm convinced the Navy centcom, our Navy CENTCOM and all our forces are finally focused and will solve that problem. But the time becomes an issue. But as soon as we open up those straits and eradicate the missiles, then we could take all the time we want to deal with the regime change.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, Admiral, When I get individuals of your stature and Admiral the United States Navy on the program, I love to play a little game. Pretend I'm President of the United States right now or pretend President Trump calls you call into the Oval Office and says, admiral Harward, what do I do to get the Straits under control? What would you tell him right now.

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

He could do continue his campaign but start moving assets through the straits and it can be ghost fleets, can be other ships that are not valuable, that are kind of cannon fodder and keep moving those ships to illustrate your ability before you move the more precious cargo through there. So the more assets you can move through the straits to present challenges to the Iranians and to reveal their tactics, their techniques, their missiles and their mines would be helpful. So I'd move as much traffic, maybe not high value at risk traffic through there to be able to demonstrate and then start protecting them, the high value assets as they move through the straits.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That an idea that I have not heard anywhere else and it sounds pretty darn good to me. Vice Admiral Robert Harwood, I appreciate you coming on the program. I hope you come back, sir, and thank you for your service to this country.

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

Thank you.

Call 1-800-GRAINGER visit grainger.com or just stop by Grainger for the ones who get it done. Foreign. Welcome back everyone. We know that California is the breeding ground of all things bad ideas. We know LA is probably the capital of that breeding ground for bad ideas. So we got a mayor's race out there. You know Karen Bass, the former congresswoman? She's a radical leftist. She's awful. She has no business running a city or anything the size of L A. She's no busy business running a fricking church choir, much less a city the size of L A. Polls are out. She's at 25%. Nithya Raman is a radical leftist on the city council is at 17%. And Spencer Pratt, the reality TV star who seems to be a conservative, is at 14%. Let me explain to you. No, no, no, I won't explain it. I'll let Karen Bass tell you why she's at 25%. Okay, roll it. We have city workers that do this

[Audience/Chorus]

work day in and day Out. But it's just an example as to

[Jennifer Horn]

how massive the problem is, that we

[Audience/Chorus]

want to make sure that everybody takes responsibility.

[Jennifer Horn]

Government can't do it alone.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Government needs to do it in partnership

[Audience/Chorus]

with community organizations, community residents, the business community, and everybody coming together to make sure that LA shines.

[Grant Stinchfield]

The streets are dirty and the city can't clean them up. Here's the reality. I get that you don't want people littering. You have homeless people everywhere. You don't clean up the homeless people. They're the ones that are literally taking a dump on the sidewalk everywhere in la. I know, that's disgusting. I'm sorry if you're eating dinner. On the other spectrum, you got a guy like Spencer Pratt, who to me actually seems like he's got some common sense about him. That's a funny picture. You wouldn't think looking at the picture, but roll Spencer Pratt, whether you're an American citizen, criminal, you'll get locked up, or if you're an illegal rapist, murderer, drug dealing, child trafficker. So that will be my priority. And just last week, the President United States did just say that he wants

[Vice Admiral Robert Harward]

to focus on murders.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So I will have no problem focusing on murderers as mayor of Los Angeles. But I believe the federal government will not be necessary in Los Angeles because I will be enforcing more crimes than any mayor in the history of Los Angeles. So, all right, I'm going to give Spencer Pratt some advice. If he wants to win, he's got to go talk to everybody. I think he's purposefully staying away from conservative media. I think that's a big mistake on his part. I want to bring in now to discuss this host of the Morning Answer, Jennifer Horne out there in Los Angeles. AM 870. Jen, welcome to the program, my friend.

[Jennifer Horn]

Thanks for having me.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, quick question. Has Spencer Pratt come back on? It used to be our program in L. A, now it's just your program. But has. Has he come on? He had not when we were together. Has he come on yet? Maybe it was me.

[Jennifer Horn]

No, you know, I thought that I was like, it must be Grant. No, he did not and he has not come on our program yet. Now, I actually was at an event this last and I talked to a few people who've been around Spencer Pratt and they said it's ridiculous he hasn't come on your show yet. I do think there was something to the fact that he was trying to stay away from conservative media. But if you listen to that interview he did last week on a local news station, he sounds like President Trump, so you got to make sure the conservative base is with you. And I have a feeling there is going to be a shift in the way he's campaigning in these final two months, because ballots are going to go out literally in a month and a week from today.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so we've got these polls. Karen Bass, the incumbent mayor, is at 25%, but nobody is really actually even close to her. The next is 17%, and then Spencer at 14%. Can they make up the difference? How do you see this playing out? Nobody knows L. A politics like you do, Jen.

[Jennifer Horn]

Well, I think the big number that you have to look at is almost half of the voters are still undecided about the mayor's race, which is extremely unusual for an incumbent, especially in L. A. It's been over 25 years. I think, since a mayor was not reelected, People in Los Angeles are complacent. They love to reelect these disasters. Just look at Eric Garcetti, our last mayor. So the fact that Karen Bass is suffering is really the story here. What's scary is that in previous polls, Spencer Pratt was solidly in second place. Nithya Rahman makes Karen Bass look like John Fetterman in the United States Senate. I mean, that is how absolutely wild and just she is. She wants to abolish the police. At least Karen Bass knows she needs a police in a fire department. So I think we have a real problem here, unless we need to see Spencer Pratt pick it up and make sure that this was a race at least going into the general election between Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt so we at least have a shot at some normalcy.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Remember, Karen Bass likes the fire department. She just doesn't like water in the. In the. In the fire hydrants. That's. That's the problem.

[Jennifer Horn]

Trips to Ghana. And right now, I think she's probably making Kamala Harris feel pretty good about her polling numbers. She's actually polling, like, worse than $6 gasoline, which we have in Los Angeles. The problem with Karen Bass is that she's offered an excuse for everything. And I think the Palisades fire made it much harder for Karen Bass to show that she was doing a good job. Potholes. You know how bad the potholes are in L. A. And we pay a dollar fifty more than everybody else for. For our gas tax. She said they don't have enough money or the infrastructure. I mean, people are just sick of the excuses. If she could just come out and offer a real plan, this raises hers to lose. But I don't know that she's been bright enough to do that.

[Audience/Chorus]

Yeah.

[Grant Stinchfield]

So you raised the other interesting point. This Nithya Rahman, she's more radical than Karen Bass is. As you mentioned, she's. She's wild. Let me play a clip from her. This is from a mayoral forum. It may need some explanation. I'll probably let you go do it. Roll cut 4.

[Jennifer Horn]

In response to Real concerns about surveillance, as the author of the city sanctuary city ordinance that prohibits data sharing between us and the federal government, I would make sure that any automated enforcement tool that we're using will not share data, will not add to surveillance, but merely increase safety. And that's totally possible to do.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, she just summed up she's not going to work with the feds and all of this other crazy nonsense. What is this automated system she's talking about here?

[Jennifer Horn]

So you know how they have license plate identifiers. They have facial recognition software. The whole point of having cameras ask the Guthrie family is to try to identify people. That's why you have a camera. Just having it rolling in real time to give people some elusive sense of security. That's not there. That's not how it works. Look, I think there are plenty of issues with the surveillance state, but that is today. That is where we are. That's what's happening in this moment in time. Nobody has the right to think that they have privacy out on the streets. It's a part of law enforcement now. And certainly it takes something like someone disappearing or a terrorist attack to make those cameras very, very useful. And Nithya Raman clearly just thinks that it's like the neighborhood watch sign that you hang on your door when you didn't pay your ADT protection one bill.

[Grant Stinchfield]

It would be scary if she were to win because that would be a. I can't believe anybody's a downgrade from Karen Bass, but that would be a downgrade from Karen Bass. Steve Hilton had weighed in. I know he's a friend of yours. Friend of mine. He's running for governor in California as a Republican, and he weighed in on the governor's race. And then I'll get a response from you on this roll call. One, fraud and waste and abuse. And so the volume of scrutiny, which has been very, very low for 16 years, they've got away with all this failure this year. It's changing. People are waking up to just how bad it is in California after these Democrats have run everything. And that's why I think we're going to kick them out this year.

[Audience/Chorus]

I really do.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right. And that response was to Republicans leading this jungle primary, which means Democrats and Republicans run against each other. Top two go to the. Go to the runoff. Republicans leading. Can that hold up till election day?

[Jennifer Horn]

Can we cross our fingers, please? Do we double cross? Do we pray? It's the only way. I think we really are going to be able to get a Republican governor because the Democrat machine is so strong in the, in the state, but they're tripping all over themselves. I'm not sure if you covered it or you heard, but there was supposed to be a gubernatorial debate this week, but the four people of color in the race were not invited because their polling numbers weren't great and they hadn't raised enough money. They didn't qualify. But all of them happen to be black, brown, Asian, whatever. The, the ethnicities in the group. The white candidates all qualified. So the candidates who were not white accused USC and Univision grant of racism. And so they actually got the debate canceled. Here's what's crazy. Two of the white candidates, Tom Steyer and Matt Mahan, came up with an alternative forum that they were going to have all of the candidates participate in. But the candidates of color said they wouldn't do it unless all the candidates said that there would be no further debates unless all of them were on the stage. They wanted to have them sign a pledge. So here's what's great for Republicans, the less debating the better because the Democrat machine doesn't know who to go behind if you can't get a couple of frontrunners in this race. So you know what? I think you're right. These debates are racist. We need to cancel all of them.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Oh, it's just like them to blame race on that. You're finishing last because you suck as a candidate. It like that. That's the whole reason. It's nothing to do with the color of your skin, especially in California. Jen Horn, it's always great to see you on X at Jennifer Horn is the place you can find her and of course, out on the radio on AM870 in Los Angeles. Jen, thank you.

Welcome back, everybody. Thanks for watching. We're waiting President Trump to speak tonight. And you know, as always, anytime the president takes to a microphone, we'll cover it if we can. And we'll do everything we can to make sure that that happens. Before we get to that, I want to talk about Cuba right now. What's going on in Cuba is. Look, there's nothing funny about the oppression the Cuban regime is engaging in of its people. There's nothing funny about a country that is completely economically depressed. Why? Because America basically put a blockade around Cuba and has cut them off, cut them off from oil. Why is America doing this? Why has Trump decided it's time to do this to weaken the regime and allow the people to take over? Well, you have Ding dongs from the United States. Of course, they're leftists. These radical influencers who now go to Cuba, stay in five star hotels. We're told some of them flew first class over there to talk about how bad the people have it because of America. We're the ones trying to help them, you Ding Dongs. This is a man in Cuba basically showing what's going on in his city.

[Public Podcast Sponsor]

So this is Cuba.

[Audience/Chorus]

And there is no electricity anywhere because there's no oil. There's no energy.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And this is what it looks like, except that hotel because it's a five star hotel. That's it.

[Audience/Chorus]

Everybody else is in the dark.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right? So the bottom line is we want them in the dark so the people of Cuba can take over. Well, President Trump is taking to the stage as we speak. I believe this is in Washington, D.C. tonight playing his favorite entry song as speaker of the House. Mike Johnson just introduced him. So we will go out live now to President Trump and hear what he has to say. And he's always breaking news. What better place to do it then right here on Real America's Voice.

[Audience/Chorus]

To the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas from see the shining sea. From Detroit down to Houston and New York to La where there's pride in every American American heart and it's time we stand and say.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That I'm proud to be an American

[Audience/Chorus]

where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died who gave that life to me and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her are still today Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA. And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who don't God who gave that life to me Can I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today Cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land God, that is for you.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You can, you can have a seat. The President is going to address us now. But I did want to give you one more surprise, one more record broken. We were just talking about it a moment ago and he said, go ahead and tell the people. Last year at this event, we broke the all time record for the spring dinner at $35 million. And tonight, tonight, because of your generosity and because you're a part of this team, we raised $37 million. New record. New record. Thank you.

[Audience/Chorus]

Thank you. Oh, that's a lot of money. Congratulations. Well, we have a hot party. We have a very hot party. And we have a group that likes to see our country in trouble and we're going to do something about it. But I want to thank you for that warm welcome. Mike, you guys are great. Richard and Mike work so hard and thank you to all the friends and supporters and true American patriots here tonight. You know, Richard just told me backstage that we have more donors here tonight in terms of not only the dollars, but in terms of the individual people. We want to thank you. It's a record. And it's a nice place, by the way. Looks nice. Very nice. They don't build too many of them like this anymore. But with your help this November, we'll defeat the radical left Democrats and we'll win a midterm victory like our country has never seen. For whatever reason, I don't know what it is, but a president who wins, Republican or Democrat, almost always does poorly in the midterms. Nobody knows why, even if it's a successful presidency. And there are those that say this has been the first, I mean really the best first year ever for a president. And I agree with them. I must argue, I agree with them 100%, but I do. We did a lot. We settled eight wars, people sort of forget. And we're winning another one. I tell you, we're winning so big, nobody has ever seen anything like we're doing in the Middle east with Iran. And they are negotiating, by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by us. There's never been a head of a country that wanted that job less than being the head the of Iran. I don't want it. We listen to some of the things they say. We hear them very clearly. They say, I don't want it. We'd like to make you the next supreme leader. No, thank you, I don't want it. But I want to express my gratitude to the tremendous leader in this effort. And really he's just an incredible speaker. He's going to go down as one of the great ever, ever. Mike Johnson. And the boss and his family, by the way, Kelly. And because of the fact that these lights are so bright, I can't see a thing in the audience, but what the hell. I know you're all friends, otherwise I'd get out of here very quickly. But Devil, what a job he's done. You know, think of it. We have, when we have a majority of three, we feel so thrilled. Then he goes down sometimes to two, then it goes down to one and then he goes back up to two or three. It's crazy. And we're getting all of this fast. Think about the great big beautiful bill. Think of that. The great big beautiful bill. We got it done. And remember, that was a four year deal. That was four years I said at the time. And Mike agreed and John Thune agreed. We agreed. Let's get everything done. Let's put it in one. And everybody said we were crazy, we'd never get it passed. And that was four years worth of goodies. But now that we have that, we're going back for more. We're going back for more pretty quickly. I think you're going to see some pretty good things which we should win. But of course, the thing that we should win. And who would believe that you can't get voter id because all of the Democrats, every single one of them, they stick together. They have lousy policy. They're not good people, but they stick together. They have horrible policy for this country, but they're like glue the way they stick together. And you have to respect that. We have some very interesting things in store and I think we're going to have a great, a great election, despite the fact that if you look historically, for whatever reason, you win the presidency. Republican, Democrat. So in 50 years, it's two. Think of that. In 100 years, it's four. And we're going to do it. We're going to do it. We've done. Nobody's done more than we have in this last short period of time. Nobody. It doesn't make sense. I've gone to people, I've asked them, I've asked the greatest political leaders in the country. Why is it that whoever wins the presidency, not Republican, not Democrat, whoever wins the presidency doesn't do well in the midterms. And most people can't explain it. The professionals try and give you an answer. The Democrats would say if you ask them that question, it's racism. But they said, but it pertains to you too. Oh, well, in that case, it's not racism. They always use racism whenever they ask a question like voter id, why don't you want it's racist? Do they ever have another answer other than racism? And no, it's unbelievable. It's not racism, it's voter id. It's important for our country. And provoking proof of citizenship is important for our country. Very. And men playing in women's sports should not be allowed. That's very important. And transgender for everybody. The mutilation of our children should not be allowed. And open borders should not be allowed. Open borders where the world, world is allowed to pour into our country shouldn't be allowed. And because of the rules, really, in all fairness, you've been doing great. But because of the rules of the Senate, it's very hard for them to get that the number. And again, you have those Democrats, they stick together. Think of it. They vote against voter idea, they vote against proof of citizenship. They vote against it. Now, I happen to be a fan of no mail in ballots, even though I won Florida, which is mail in ballots, by a massive number, the highest number in history. And I won other places. But in California and other states, they cheat so badly with that they send 38 million ballots out. And of the 38 million, they go to Democrats a hell of a lot. Democrats get sometimes six or seven ballots in one household. And Republicans are calling for their ballot. They're saying, please send me my ballot. Very unfair. But I hate, I hate that. I hate mail in ballots. I've won with mail in ballots, but I hate mail in ballots because basically, it's a way of cheating. Jimmy Carter, the single best thing he did. Including his presidency. No, it wasn't giving away the Panama Canal for $1. That was not the best. But he did that. He did a lot of other things, but he did do one thing. He had a commission with Scoop Jackson and some other very respected people. And the conclusion was never allow mail in ballots because if you do, there'll be massive cheating. And, and that's what happens. We can't do it. So we have to do something about that. But that poll is not at 99%. That poll is at about 75%. 80%. But voter ID polls at 96%. 97, 98% with Republicans. 86% just came out with both Republicans and Democrats. The only one that fight it are the Democrat leaders because they want to cheat. The only reason you say that's the only reason. I don't want voter identification with a picture. I always add with a picture. It's true. And the only reason you don't want that is because you want to cheat. And they do cheat and we can't let them get away with this. So we have to keep that fight going. We have to get voter ID and we have to get proof of citizenship. It's so important, one of the most important things we can do. So I want to thank House Majority Leader. A brave guy. Oh boy. I was with him that night where he wasn't supposed to make it. Steve Scalise, he's great. What a strong guy. Where are you, Steve? We love Steve. Ah, there he is. We love Steve. What a thing he went through. And then he went through another battle too. And he's, he's a tough cookie. He outlasted it all. I was with his wife, his family that night, that horrible night. And the doctor told me very, very small chance. And here he is. I actually think he's a better looking man now than he was a few years ago. I actually think he's better looking. I don't know what the hell he did. I think he had the greatest doctors in history. He's a better looking man now. Also another great looking guy. He was born good looking and he's got an even better looking wife. His wife is our winner. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer. Where is Tom? Where is Tom? Hello, Tom. He's great, great guy. Conference chair Lisa McLean. Thank you, Lisa. Thank you, Lisa. Thank you, Darren. NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson, who does such a good job all the time, all the time. Deputy Chairman of the nrcc. A guy who worked for me for six years. And when they said we want to Take him. Could we share him? Then I knew he was good. And then his congressional seat came up in Georgia, where he lived. And he said, sir, my dream is to be a congressman. Would it be okay if I ran? I said, no, I don't want you to run. I want you to stay with me. Please stay with me. He said, please. I said, all right, I'll let you run. Brian, Jack, he's done so great. Brian, Jack. It's always a tough name to have somebody. You ever have the names Brian, Jack? You know these. I call them, the two first names. You have two first names. People would say, you know, that guy Jack Bryan is fantastic. I said, who the hell is Jack Bryan? I had that the other day. He was telling me what a great guy Jack Bryan is. I. Who is he? He's a congressman. I said, listen, I know the congressman. There's nobody named Jack Bryan. But he was talking about Brian. Jack, Brian, you're a tremendous guy, really understands, loves politics, loves being a congressman and dozens of Republican warriors in the House. You're incredible people, and you are warriors. And you have to take a lot of fake news like I do. We take so much fake news. You know, if you listen to the news, you think we're losing a war in Iran where we're decimating the other side. I mean, the better ones have us doing okay. We are decimating. They've got no Navy, they've got no anything. The whole thing is. And then you watch the news. I said, oh, I thought we were doing better than that. The fake news really has to change because people, you know, when you can win an election with 94% negative stories and you win it in a landslide, there's something wrong with the news because it's your. Shouldn't be happening. And you know, they used to have 96% approval rating. They just edged out at 14. I'm extremely proud of that, actually. I've exposed them for being fake news. And we are going to hopefully change that, because I think you really need great news to be great. And they are not great. And they're not leading us to greatness, but we are going to lead us to greatness. We're also joined by tonight by many of our terrific MAGA majority candidates. A group of new candidates from across the country will help grow our margin in the House, including Jay Feeley, great football player, Kevin Lincoln, Joe Mitchell, Laurie Buckhout. Hi, Laurie. Mike Lepetri, Tano Tijerina, and Eric Flores. All new and all leading and all going to win big. Thank you very much welcome. Welcome to a group of outstanding people. And let's get them all. You know what? We have to get them across the finish line. We've raised more money than we ever has. We have, and we're raising a lot more. You know, I did something. I haven't done this as a candidate. I saw the great job that Mike had done, and they had raised a lot of money for the evening. And the greatest thing about being president is you don't have to make contributions. You know, nobody ever asks you for money. They want your endorsement, but they don't want. Nobody ever asks for money. It's great. I said, it's the only thing where I save money in this business. Nobody ever asked. But I saw Mike the other night. I did something that I never do. And I don't do this braggingly. I do it because it's fun to talk about. He was close to raising $20 million, and I said, I'll give you a million. So you hit your mark. I gave him a million dollars. I never do that in politics. I never do it, but I do it for him. And we're going to do a little lot more, by the way. I'm going to do a lot more. We're going to raise. We've already raised a lot of money, but I'm doing a lot more because we got to win. Our country is at stake. Really. Our country is at stake. These people are crazy that we're dealing with the State of the Union speech. You don't mind if I go off this crazy teleprompter a little bit? You ever. You know, it's boring when you do the teleprompter thing. It's very boring. But no, it's. We had the State of the Union speech the other night. I announce all these heroes, and I announce women that have gone through tragedy. Like the incredible woman who lost her daughter to a maniac when he slashed.
