This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. I have never been more proud of President Trump, of President Trump, Trump's team. But more importantly, I've never been more proud of the United States military. Right now, as we speak, we continue to crush Iran. The objective is very clear and that is win and eliminate the threat of Iran, which is what President Trump is setting out to do with the United States military. When I look at this, you've got fighter jets now that are involved in this. Ballistic missiles, drones. The B2 bombers again went from Missouri all the way to Iran. 18 hour, one way trip, bunker busting the hell out of Iran. Now, this is, folks, the definition of America first. So to some of my MAGA friends out there, this is not starting a new war. This is ending a very old war. A war that was 47 years in the making of Iran doing nothing but go after Americans trying to kill them. This is about the safety and security of the American people. How do you get any more America first than that? Here's President Trump today. For almost 47 years, this regime has been attacking the United States and killing Americans. Every time you see someone with missing arms and legs or a face that's been absolutely shattered, violently, it was almost certainly caused by an Iran roadside bomb. You think about it from Hezbollah, Hamas, the terror groups in Afghanistan and Iraq, just about every American soldier maimed, as President Trump said, was at the hands of Iran. We had 188 attacks by Iran on American citizens last year alone. The mainstream media won't talk about that. So unlike previous administrations, President Trump has made the objectives very clear here. Beyond winning, which we haven't actually fought to win since World War II. I'm glad this man is at the helm. But here are the objectives as his team is spelling out. Take out the command and control structure that includes leadership in Iran. Number two, go after the ballistic missile sites to basically debilitate them so they cannot go and after us and our allies and then take out in a big way the navy of Iran. Right now, they're still causing all kinds of havoc in the straits of Hormuz. You got 20% of the world's oil goes through there. This is going to cause a big problem. The United States military well on their way to taking out the Iranian navy. And of course, no nuclear weapon for Iran. Here's Pete Hegseth, our Secretary of War. America, regardless of what so called international institutions say, is unleashing the most lethal and precise air power campaign in history. B2S fighters, drones, missiles, and of course, classified effects, all on our terms with maximum authorities. No stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, no democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win and we don't waste time or lives. God bless the American military service members that have already lost their life. I think the numbers now at 4. I salute every single one of them. They are heroes. They're saving American lives in the process of all of this. No more maternity flight suits, okay? No more talking to, to the point of ad nauseam. It's now at the time and place where America is out there to win and when we must. Again, President Trump, this was our last, best chance to strike what we're doing right now and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this sick and sinister regime. And they are indeed sick and sinister. I want you to consider how President Trump set this up. Over the last year, he got these Middle Eastern countries from the uae, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, to invest trillions of dollars into the United States. Once we have their money, they're on the hook. Now you have a situation where Iran attacked Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia said, hey, we weren't even given the United States our airspace to use. You attacked us. We'll join America. When did you ever think you'd see Saudi Arabia and the others looking to join America in a fight against Iran? Only President Trump could do this. I want to bring in now former Green Beret and host of Speak the Truth podcast. Matt Tardio is with us. Matt, welcome back to the show.
B
Thanks for having me back in, Grant.
A
Matt, you have so many sources all over the world, inside the United States military, inside the Israeli military. What are your sources telling you? Is this going as well as I think it's going to? What are you hearing on the ground?
B
It's going better than we actually think, than the Department of War actually thought it would go. Better than they told Donald Trump that it was going to go. And before we move into that, I just want to correct the record. About two hours ago, Department of War ended up coming out. Excuse me, sent commented up coming out, announcing that two additional US Service members died of wounds that they sustained during that same barrage that killed the initial four. So now we have a total of six killed in action. We just want to recognize those two deaths before we continue on with this further. Yeah, it's going way better. Way, way better than, than anybody could ever even possibly understand. Just got done reading a message right before I came on the show that said that there was over a thousand sorties within the first 24 hours. And it's going to take way, way longer than people realize to, to actually understand the effects that we're having on the battleground over inside of Iran right now. Their state media has been knocked out. All of the leadership, all of the key leadership of the IRGC has been taken out. The Ayatollah, something that everybody thought would just never happen. We ended up killing the Ayatollah. And I'll a. As a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I couldn't be more proud to see that man get killed along with his entire regime, because you're talking one out of every five US Troops that ended up getting wounded or killed over inside the Middle east was the direct result of them. But I am so happy to be on a program that properly painted this correct, stating that for, for the first time, we are actually ending something that's been 47 years in the making. The American people are very safe at home because of what's been done overseas over the last, you know, umpteen years. But what most people in the United States just refuse to and don't take the time to look into is the amount of Americans that have been killed by this regime over the last 20 years alone. You're talking thousands of people.
A
Right.
B
You know, last year, I want to say it was Department of State, ended up putting out a warning of a lethal threat that ended up getting thwarted over here on American soil that was being launched by Iran. I mean, this, this is the type of crap that we're dealing with on a daily basis. And so I'm very, very proud to be an American today. I'm very, very happy to see this. This is going down. Correct.
A
Matt, you had Khobar Towers, you had the USS Cole, you had Beirut, and the list goes on. And you mentioned just about everybody that was wounded or killed. Iran played a role in that. In our wars in the Middle East. You had to fight those wars with one hand tied behind your back with these rules of engagement that were so horrible. I do believe that President Trump is out there to win. Now, let me play a clip from you, from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. If you guys behind the glass could play that for Matt. They're suffering a tremendous amount of damage, honestly. Again, I'm not going to give away the details of our tactical efforts, but the hardest hits are yet to come from the US Military. The next phase will be even more punishing on Iran than it is right now. Someone was screaming, how long will it take? I don't Know how long it'll take. We have objectives. We will do this as long as it takes to achieve those objectives for the military might of the United States is something special if the hardest hit is yet to come. We've already launched B2s that have blown so many of those areas to smithereens. What do you make of that statement, Matt?
B
Yeah, I really hope that the enemy hears it before they die and they're shaking in their pants right now. I will tell you, I got the pleasure of fighting underneath Bush, Obama and Trump and I will tell you that the most lethal that we were allowed to be was underneath Donald Trump. These, these bombers that they're talking about going over there. You know, when we were facing ISIS, we ended up having multiple B2 bombers that up getting dedicated just to our specific mission that we were on against isis. And we ended up in a three month time span being allowed to drop more bombs in a three month time span in this one little tiny corner of Afghanistan than the entire United States military ended up unleashing across the entire country.
C
Right.
B
Like we decimated those, those bastards. And if that is the type of resolve which I believe it is, it's going to be brought to this fight, it's going to be 10 times worse. So I look forward and I am very proud and I honestly, you know, fighting war sucks, it's not fun. But the last thing you want to do is what you a war with two hands tied behind your back. And it certainly appears as if Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump is allowing our US Military to prosecute this war correctly and to kill those people that need to be killed.
A
Yeah, absolutely. Let me play one more clip for you. This is Eric Prince, well known guy in the world of special operators and contractors. This is what he had to say about eliminating the top brass of the Iranian military. But they're still the underlings.
B
Well, the thing about taking out the
A
top of their command structure means that
B
the bottom is still very much intact.
A
And they also, the Iranian foreign minister said that they had delegated authority and
D
responsibility to the lowest level units to maximize their fight.
A
And look, the straits of Hormuz are closed. Matt, real quick, if you can, is that a problem that the lower levels are still there? I mean it's got to be pretty positive that we've taken out over 40 of top brass leaders.
B
Yeah, what lower levels? Right. They keep defecting on a daily basis. We keep getting more and more videos of, of members of the Iranian military that are defecting. And what Erik Prince said is absolutely Correct. And it's a bit of a problem when they go ahead and delegate authority down to the lowest level possible. In the United States military, we do that every single day. We know who is going to be in charge in the event that somebody else gets killed. Iran sucks at life so bad that they couldn't even bother to come up with succession of command for the event of a war. That's how cocky these bastards are. And I'm so happy to know that they have to sit back and go, ooh, some of us might actually die today. And I hope and I pray that they end up quitting and giving in and surrendering before all of them have to die. But if that's what it's going to take, that's what it's going to take.
A
Well, Matt Tardio, always such a great job at angertab on the platform X. We appreciate your service, my man, and always your ability to weigh in on things like nobody else can. Matt, thank you.
B
Thank you very much, Grant.
A
Absolutely. All right, folks, here's the one thing I'm worried about. Okay? The greatest threat I see to America right now is from sleeper cells being activated here in the United States. That could be a lone wolf gunman. It could be a highly organized group of jihadists. Either way, they pose a threat. Now, I'm going to tell you, we had the shooting in Austin, Texas. I called this hours before it happened, rolled it. The potential sleeper cells here in the United States could be activated by Iran as a way to get back at America. Now, there's no way the Iranian government can reach U.S. soil except through these sleeper cells. So here's my warning to all of you out there. We don't go through our day scared, but we go through our day aware. With your head on a swivel. I posted that video. A deranged jihadist lunatic. Thankfully, the police got there in less than a minute, but not before he shot up over a dozen people, killed multiple folks. This guy with. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out he's a jihadist. Property of Allah. It says on his sweatshirt he's a Senegalese immigrant. Obama gave him citizenship here. Underneath that sweatshirt, he had this. He was wearing a T shirt with an Iranian flag on it. This is Governor Abbott on the threat of these. These crazies. You oftentimes see when there's a war breaking out like this where the United States may be going against a country like Iran, that you could have either sleeper cells or lone wolves acting. And that's exactly why we increased the number of Texas Department of Public Safety officers to be patrolling the streets and patrolling sensitive areas. And why I deployed the Texas National Guard to do the same thing so that we could be as prepared as possible. He drove up in his car, put his flashers on and started firing into an open air bar in Austin, Texas, on 6th Street, a street that I frequent very often when I go down to Austin. Police were less than a minute away. And you see the damage. God bless the good guys with guns that took this guy out, but not before he did awful damage. Are there more of these types of people out there? You better believe there are. I want to bring in now retired police sergeant, former SWAT officer, and current tactical training instructor for law enforcement. Jose Medina is with us. Jose, it is good to see you, my friend. Thank you for coming on.
E
Thank you, Grant. Honor to be here.
A
All right, Jose, for years you and I discuss this usually via text. But the threat that Americans face from this look, a cop can be 60 seconds away. We see the damage. What is your, your advice to citizens out there, especially as we move into this time where I do believe the threat is even increased?
E
Well, Grant, just like you said before, head on a swivel. That's. We've heard that so many, many times for so many, many years in your state of Texas as we message each other like constitutional carry. You have that right here in New Jersey. We don't like they have to work for their permits, but awareness is so important. You know, people, I guess through the media, they expect the cops just to be there for every call. And as you said, under a minute. These guys got there, but we lost some lives, but they got there pretty quick. It would worse. So American citizens have to look around and just, just be more vigilant and more than ever. And we've been training and we've been doing it for a long time, training tactical teams and just police officers in the small team effect. You know, we got to take the lessons from Mumbai. And that's why we try to tell these, these, these agencies and even the people that are carrying concealed, hey, listen, you never know what's going to hit you. You got to be well trained. If you're carrying concealers, as a civilian, as a police officer, we're training them to attack these small teams because you could have an incident happen at that bar. Can you imagine if five other places simultaneously in that region got hit? How do you pull those resources?
A
That's.
E
We're trying to send that message.
A
We have an election coming up here. In Texas, as the primaries are tomorrow, we've got this James Tallarico who's running against Jasmine Crockett, two looney tunes running for the Democrat side of the, of the, of the ticket. But I want to play for you a clip that Talarico said after the shooting in Austin. Typical from a Democrat. Listen to this.
D
We prayed and God sent moms from both political parties to advocate in the halls of power for gun safety. We prayed and God sent lawmakers with common sense gun safety proposals like universal background checks, red flag laws, closing the gun show loophole. As you know, rev, Scripture reminds us that faith without works is dead. And so the time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.
A
I see you shaking your head, Jose.
E
Yeah, well, let's look back, Grant, when I, I talk about this. 1966, Charles Whitman went into the University Texas and shot up the Texas tower. Killed a bunch of people.
B
Correct.
E
And, and in the findings of his writing suicide letters, he indicated that he was having a mental awareness breakdown. Right. Mental issues. And that was 6, 1966. And legislation was talked about back then about, oh, mental illness, mental illness and people with all these, these psychosis and stuff. Well, here we are in 2026 and the first thing they say is right, you always said it. They go after the good guys with the guns like people that are law abiding citizens. I mean here in New Jersey we started in 22 with the Bruin case and we won that only a thousand people had permits. Then it's been up to about 80,000 here in the state of New Jersey. But because of all the, unfortunately the media push and the politicians pushing, what you just saw, you just played there. They said it was about 20,000 less have renewed their permits here in the state of New Jersey just because of the fear what the government's telling them.
A
Well, that's the other problem is, you know, you could defend your life 100% lawfully, but you're in a state like New Jersey or a blue county with a radical district attorney, they'll go after the good people. But you know, we've got to take this responsibility on ourselves. You know, a buddy of mine always said he'd love a cop next to him all the time, but he's too heavy to carry around with him. So you got to protect yourself. They're not always going to be there, but we love our men and women in blue, buddy. And I appreciate all you've done to keep the people of New Jersey safe and everything you're doing to train law enforcement throughout the country. APC360Zone is the website. Thank you, Jose, for coming on.
E
Thank you, Grant. Have a good night. Thanks. Thanks again.
A
Absolutely. It's a pleasure having Jose on. You know, I've been, I've been talking to him for literally years. And I thought, why don't I have him on? And he's great. So he'll be back. We're going to make him a regular, I promise. All right, I want to turn now. You know, we talk about, you heard Talarico, just how ridiculous it is. He's going to go to gun control after all of this. As if jihadists care about that. They don't have a gun. They'll blow you up with a suicide bomber. They'll drive a car through your crowd when this is the kind of craziness. Here's Adam Schiff on the Iran operation. He has not made the case to the American people. He has not made the case to Congress. He sought no authorization. And he hasn't made the case because there was no imminent threat from Iran. They were not in the process of rebuilding their nuclear program or building a bomb. The President said only months ago that he had obliterated their nuclear program. Now that was, I think, an exaggerated claim. Wasn't an exaggerated claim, pencil neck. They told us that it was off the table. Any ending of their nuclear program, they would not discuss that was not up for negotiation. Do you not believe them that they were trying to do this? And you just heard Matt Tardeo come on and say that one out of five service members that were maimed or killed, one out of all five, were at the hands of the Iranians. But this is how dumb they all are. And now you have protests popping up. The one going on right now is in Lafayette park in D.C. right across the street from the White House. I want to bring in RAV correspondent David Zier, who is there? David, please tell me that there's not a lot of people there, please.
F
Good evening, Grant. Well, it's really cold and it's snowing, so they're probably home in their parents basement playing Call of Duty instead of being here. But there's a few hundred people out here. This protest tonight is sponsored by the Party for Socialism, Liberation, whatever that means, a branch of the PSI National Organization here, Socialist protesting. But I find it interesting because the MEK which are probably the rightful leaders inside Iran, are socialist and you would think they'd want the people to rise up and take over the tyrannical regime here. But there's a few hundred people out and they have signs like draft barons. Trump must go. Trump is ruining the ecology and the environment inside Iran by attacking nuclear sites. I heard people talking about that and they're relatively peaceful and I can understand the anti war sentiment, but you know, it's not a big crowd tonight.
A
Look, nobody wants war, but sometimes it is what has to happen. But in this case, how do they defend? Basically defending a murderous regime like, like the one in Iran and turning their backs on what the American military. I get they're not going to like anything President Trump does, but this is about supporting America right now. And they're supporting Iran over America. That's what it seems like,
F
yes. And I'm going to interact with these protesters in a little while here and I'm going to bring up those points. You know, the thousands of soldiers I spent time in Walter Reed, double, triple, quadruple amputees. Their liquid metal forming copper explosive IEDs cut our troops in half over there like butter. And all the attacks over the years, the hundreds of attacks worldwide from the Iranian regime here and the thousands of people have been slaughtered in the street inside Iran. They're starting to chant. But this is the protest du jour, Grant. You know, this is the same crowd that you see all over the place.
A
Do you have, what you have is, it's, do you have somebody with you to keep you safe so you can watch your back? Are you alone?
F
Yeah. I do this and there's a very heavy police presence here. Roads were shut down throughout D.C. last night, especially with that road rage stabbing on I495 here yesterday. There's a lot of National Guard, there's a lot of police. We're outside the White House. I'm not worried about that tonight. This isn't the Minneapolis anti ice crowd as much, but, you know, things could get out of hand. We're going to keep a close eye on it. They're just getting started out here, but it is very cold and slushy.
A
David, keep us posted on there. I appreciate the, the work and I guess when it gets cold, they got to pay them more. I wonder how much an hour gets increased during the cold and snowy weather for them to show up there. Thank you, David, for coming on.
F
Yeah, yeah, Grant, I just wanted to add, I was at that press briefing earlier at the Pentagon and Hank Sander was really upset with the legacy msm, you know, so I just want to
A
let you know, and as well they should be, David, thank you, my man. It's always Good to see you real quick. Just to give you another example of just how is it fair to call them lunatics? Because, I don't know, like a guy like Mamdani, who President Trump even says, always a nice guy. His policies are all, but this isn't a nice guy. Listen to Mamdani today. Today's military strikes by the United States and Israel mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal act of war of aggression. Bombing cities, killing civilians, opening up a new theater of war. Nobody's killing civilians. They're killing. A murderous regime was responsible for hundreds, if not thousands of American lives and injuries. What are you talking about, Mom? Donnie. This is the problem with the left. The ultra Trump derangement syndrome has taken over so much that they can't see clearly anymore. And they'd rather support a regime like they have in Iran than they would the United States military. Really sad. All right. America is reclaiming its position as the energy capital of the world, and natural gas is at the center of that movement. That's where Lost Soldier oil and gas comes in. After nearly 40 years, the company has assembled a 40,000 acre position in Wyoming tied to a major natural gas discovery. Estimated up to 6 trillion cubic feet of gas in place. That's a lot. Management forecasts the first 25 wells alone could produce up to 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Meaningful production designed to meet rising demand. From powering homes and businesses to supporting LNG exports and the rapid expansion of AI data centers. America needs scalable, reliable domestic energy. So here's what we want you to do. Lost Soldier is led by industry legend Mark Bruner, whose previous public companies delivered significant growth at their peaks, including Pentaco energy at roughly 100 to 1 and ultra petroleum at approximately 1,000 to 1.

Go to lost soldier.com. all right. As military action continues to hammer Iran, the question remains, what comes next for the people of Iran? We'll talk about that after this. I want to remind everyone that in my belief, this action against Iran is the most America first thing that President Trump could do because he's keeping Americans safe, he's going to keep the world safe. Now, he has said he is not in the business of regime change. I don't think anybody in the MAGA sphere wants President Trump involved. In that this is Marco Rubio. We would love to see this regime be replaced. And ultimately, as the President has said. No, no, but let me finish my answer. As the President said he would love for the people of Iran to use this as an opportunity to rise up and remove these leaks. They've been wanting to remove them from a long time. We've seen successive waves of protests and we've seen them slaughter people. And that is important. And I do believe that is what will happen. If you look across the country, we're seeing rallies like this in support of President Trump, many of them Iranians who were here in America. What? So from Los angeles to Washington D.C. they are cheering President Trump in the United States. The Iranian people that are here because they know relatives back home have been under the brutal thumb of this regime, if many of their family members have not already been murdered. Upward of 40,000 people recently murdered by this regime. This is an Iranian who is a self described Democrat. She's here in the United States. She basically embarrasses her party for not supporting this war. I think you have to trust the Iranian people. We know this government better than anyone else. When you dismember and decapitate this regime, you are going to see a change in the Middle east, in Venezuela and China, in Ukraine. And I think quite frankly their ideology has really, it's caused a lot of problems for us worldwide. We need to take a seriously and I think at this point we have a tremendous opportunity. This will be like ending the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall. This is a transformational moment for humankind. That's a self described democrat, one of the few her and Fetterman that understand this stuff. I want to bring in now member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, one of the groups that would like to be governing Iran very soon. Dr. Ali Safavi is with us. Doctor, thank you for coming on the program.
C
Of course. Good to be with you, Brad.
A
All right. I've had many members of your organization on over the last few months, maybe year or so. What do you make now of the last few days?
C
Well, I think at least for me personally, I feel the end of a 54 year odyssey is finally coming to a successful close. And I think for Iranians it's a 47 year odyssey. Of course I say 54 for me because as a young student at UCLA back in the 70s, I was part of the anti shah movement and of course we worked day and night to bring that regime down, only to see an imposter like Khomeini come in from Paris and hijack the leadership of the revolution. And of course, we saw another 47 years, 100,000 dissidents executed, including 30,000 during the massacre of 1988, and of course, many, many more in subsequent years. But finally, owing to the resilience, owing to the determination of the Iranian people, finally change is coming. And I think the mollus now know that their days are numbered. And with the Supreme Leader gone, with the top brass of the military gone, I believe they are on the last legs, which explains why they are grasping at the straws and firing missiles all over the Middle east and attacking the very countries with whom they had very good relations, if you remember. And so I think it is time for the international community, for the world community, to say what is needed to be said. That is, the Iranian people have the right to overthrow this regime and that there is struggle against the mullahsmds. You must be recognized.
A
I think, Doctor, that, that, that is certainly the overwhelming consensus. Many may not back President Trump's action, but the consensus is that the Iranian people have a right to freedom and liberty and the right to exist, which this, this regime didn't want to happen. What do you think is going on right now amongst the people inside Iran? I know most of the Internet has been shut down. It's very hard to get information out of Iran. But what do you think is happening on the ground when it comes to the Iranian people?
C
Well, I think the Iranian people, first of all, are very hopeful. Second of all, of course, given that it's like a warlock situation, they are careful in terms of coming out into the streets and protesting in massive numbers. The Leader of the NCRI, NCRI President elect Mrs. Mariam Rajavi, issued a statement yesterday calling on Iranians, especially the young Iranians, to take care of the old and to take care of the injured and the wounded. But the rebellious youth, part of the MEK network across Iran, are using this opportunity to target some of the regime's military bases, the garrisons. I just got a report that an office of a Friday prayer leader in the city of Qom was targeted by youth and they took away all the weapons. So they realized that at the end of the day, they have to fight hand in hand against the Revolutionary Guards. And so they are equipping themselves with it. So I think the day of reckoning is coming fast and we only have to wait and see when it happens. Interestingly, also yesterday, Mrs. Rajavi and the NCRI announced the formation of a provisional government whose task is when in Iran, to hold free and fair elections for a constituent assembly that will write the constitution of Iran, draft the new constitution and of course will be put to vote. And of course, Iranians will determine their future. Well, in the many years ahead, sir,
A
free and fair elections would be a good thing. You have the son of the Shah who is looking to take control of the country. You have the woman that you just mentioned with the National Council for the Resistance of Iran. Your group is, I guess, self described as socialist, is that right? And I'll ask you this and only with respect here because you guys have went to great lengths and at risk to yourselves to try to free Iran. The Iranian people that I see here that come to America all seem to be capitalists, freedom loving America. Americans that have now love capitalism. How is that going to work in Iran?
C
Yes. Well, let me put it this way. The mek, of course, they are a group of patriots who were founded 60 years ago to bring democracy to Iran. Of course, for the Shah's regime, they've proved to be a major threat. So in order to discredit them, he labeled them Islamic Marxists. But everybody knows that God and communism just don't reconcile. The MEK is a part of the NCRI and NCRI as a platform that has a 10 point plan. And one of them is belief in the market economy. And of course MEK adheres to that. And you are correct that many Iranians are educated not only in America, but also in Europe. And obviously come tomorrow, the day of liberation, we need all the help, all the technology that is out there to rebuild our country. And so if anything, the MEK is a secular group, believes in the separation of religion, state. As to, of course, Reza Pahlavi, obviously I must say that from our point of view, the Iranian people are not ready and willing to replace a turban with a crown. And Reza Pahlavi has never distanced himself from his father's crimes, from his grandfather's crimes. Iran, in fact, in the past 120 years has been the thumb of four dictators. Reza Khan, Mohammad Reza Khomeini, Al Khamenei. So it is time to move to a representative government, a republican form of government. And well, that's why you saw in the streets of Iran in 2026, in 2022, people chat with the oppressor, be it the Shah or the leader.
A
Sir, only because I'm, I'm tight on time. I would talk to you about this for a long time because I'm fascinated by It. I'm glad I asked you the question and I'm glad you clarified it in many respects as well. I have such great respect for the Iranian people. Every Iranian I know here in the United States is doing something amazing here. And those are the kind of immigrants we like here. I'd love for that to happen to all of them in Iran as well. Dr. Sabavi, thank you for coming on the program today.
C
Thank you very much. My pleasure.
A
Absolutely. All right, folks, listen up. If you're 64 or older, this is important. Every year too many seniors realize their Medicare plan doesn't cover the doctors they trust. Suddenly you're stuck finding new doctors or overpaying. You can spend hours researching, doing everything right and still end up on a plan that costs you thousands. Chapter is the only national advisor that compares every Medicare plan. On average, they save people over eleven hundred dollars a year. Chapter is a free resource for my audience and can review all of your options in under 20 minutes. If you're on Medicare or will be soon, call my friends at 843-MED-HEL. It's help you can trust. That's 843-MED-HEL,. Call them today.

All right.
A
Is a UFO disclosure coming soon? President Trump promised to release relevant information on the subject. Even Hillary Clinton was asked about this. What's next? So the video from the Epstein interview of Hillary Clinton, of her testimony was just released. Forget about Epstein. I'm going to the most important topic yet, and that's UFOs, space aliens. Why in the world were they asking her about this during the Epstein deposition? Watch. I am pleased. As I say, I think they have to be carefully scrutinized so that no national security information is disclosed. But this is an issue of real importance to so many people. And I think whatever can be disclosed should be disclosed. You remember when Obama said maybe it's so secret that they're even withholding it from the president? I believe the deep state most certainly is capable of that. You would think the secretary of State would have had some insight into this. Doesn't look like it. This is Pete Hagseth, Secretary of War. We're going to be in full compliance with that executive order, eager to provide that for the president.
D
So there'll be more coming on that
A
as far as the process of what we'll do and what sort of time frame, any sense for how long it's going to take? I don't have a time frame for you yet, but standby, we'll get it for you. Do you think aliens exist?
D
We'll See, I get to do the
C
review and find out along with you.
A
This is President Trump's executive order, Release it all. Well, I want to bring in now author of Catastrophic Disclosure. Michael Mazzola is with us. He's one of the premier experts on this subject. His book is great. Michael, welcome to the program.
D
Thank you for having me.
A
All right, Michael, are aliens real?
D
Of course, it always amuses me when people say you can never keep a secret this big because there would be whistleblowers. But of course there are actually dozens and dozens of super high level whistleblowers. FAA officials, the sixth man to walk on the moon, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, CIA and military officials who all came forward over 20 years ago and admitted to participating in a cover up. And so it always makes me laugh when people say, well, there would be, there would be whistleblowers if, if this was true. And of course it is.
A
All right, so we have the video that's been released over the last couple years from the Pentagon, throwing some real crazy, crazy things. Is that the same thing as you're talking about whether, do aliens exist? Area 51, we all think of, you know, the basement and they're slicing open some green space creature. Are these different things and phenomenons we're talking about here?
D
So most of the videos that we see is actually man made stuff. Stuff made by the Lockheed Skunk Works, Raytheon and the military industrial complex. You know, Eisenhower lost control of the UFO programs and that is why he used his last moments in office to warn us about the military industrial complex. You know, usually an outgoing president will spend his outgoing speech bragging about his accomplishments, not issuing these terrifying warnings, but he watched his administration lose control of this stuff. He watched it disappear into the private sector. And so I would say about 80 to 90% of the stuff that people see in the skies and the stuff that we're seeing in these videos is actually man made stuff. But now the powers that be are happy for you to think that all of it is extraterrestrial. Because notice that as we move towards some kind of official disclosure, it always has this slant on it that we don't know what it is, but we think it's a threat. It's a threat to our national security. And so in my opinion, and in the opinion of people who've been studying this for a very long time, where this is all heading is an official disclosure that, yes, aliens are real. But you know what we need to give the military industrial complex $100 trillion and they'll protect you. From the evil aliens. But the truth is that nobody in power actually believes that these civilizations are a threat.
A
So are they a threat?
D
I don't think so. You're talking about technologies that dwarf anything that we have. They have the ability to, it seems, bend the fabric of space time and cross interdimensionally a civilization with that kind of power. If they were hostile to us, they could have destroyed us a long time ago.
A
All right, so this is interesting, Michael, because you take it from both sides. You say, oh, some of the things we see is just, you know, government experiments or whatever, the military industrial complex. But on the other side of it, it is also very real. So we're. We're dealing with both situations here. I just wonder, do we ever get the truth? I look at this like I look at Epstein and all the other things. Will we ever get the truth? Or is this deep state so deep that we'll never really know?
D
Well, you posed the question in your intro to this segment. Could they keep this from the President? When Jimmy Carter was sworn into office in 1977, the first thing he asked for was access to the Project Blue Book files. That was the official Air force program investigating UFOs. And it was the first thing he asked for because Jimmy Carter famously had seen a UFO himself, and it had changed his life. And he was told by his CIA director at the time, who was George Bush Sr. We're not going to show that to you. So Jimmy Carter, the President of the United States, had to reach out to the Congressional Research Office, and it eventually fell to my dear friend, the famous civil rights attorney Daniel Sheehan, to try to get access to these files on behalf of the President. And he did. And what he saw was absolutely shocking.
A
Well, it's amazing. Again, I've had a couple conversations on this program today. This becomes a theme. I could literally probably talk to you for the whole hour on this stuff. I'm fascinated by it. I urge people to get your book Catastrophic Disclosure. It is fascinating what you say that maybe this is a real big setup job to spend trillions of. Of dollars in the defense industry. That would not shock me at all. Michael Mazzola, thank you for coming on tonight. We appreciate it.
D
Thank you.
A
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? I mean, think about it. They want to spend more money, scare you. It's what the government does. Now we got a little different man in control. But it's been a fight and a battle the whole time. All right, up next, Senator John Cornyn thinks people like you and me are radical. The radical wing of the Republican Party. Welcome back, everyone. Tomorrow is election day here in Texas, where we broadcast from a few other states also has primary day. One of the most important races in Texas is this race for the United States Senate in the Republican primary. My buddy Ken Paxton, the current attorney General here in Texas, is running against John Cornyn, who may be an okay guy, but he's not the fighter we need in Washington. He's turned his back on gun owners, quite frankly. He's a rhino. And when I said he's a nice guy, I hadn't heard this soundbite because this sound bite is so out of line. It made me so angry. It made me feel like I will get out of this chair and kick, scratch and claw to do anything I can to make sure this guy does not win tomorrow. Whether it's Ken Paxton or Wesley Hunt. Paxton, my preference, anybody but John Cornyn. You want to hear what he had to say about all of you people? Stitchfield's Army. Watching this program, I know Republicans voters, and as I said earlier, really, it's a question of who bothers to show up. If only the most radical people show up in the primary, then I think that's going to be a challenge. Only the most radical people show up in the primary. You mean the most committed, the most engaged, the most. The most looking to exercise their right and change the direction of where we're headed. That's radical. People that support the Constitution, people that believe in biblical principles that this country was founded on, that's radical. John Cornyn, like, seriously, because we have. They still exist in Texas. Tea Party Patriots. That's the MAGA crowd now. Tea Party Patriots show up to vote in primaries. So we're radical because we don't like you rolling over for gun control in D.C. we don't like you bellied up at the bar with a bunch of lobbyists putting self interest above national interest every day of the week. We're sick of the behavior of people like John Cornyn and Barrasso and. And Joni Ernst. I mean, the list goes on and on and on. Thom Tillis. It's been a total disgrace. So if that doesn't motivate you to vote for anybody but John Cornyn, I don't know what does. And here's the sad reality. That's not just John Cornyn that believes that there are so many elected leaders in Washington that think you're the radical ones because you respect the rule of law, you salute military and the police, and you'll do anything you can to vote in a primary because it is your duty. But according to them, that's radical. What an utter disgrace, Right? An utter disgrace. All right, up next, President Trump has the utmost respect for our military members. He honored more of them today. That's next. Well, remember last week we got word that Hillary Clinton stormed out because our friend Lauren Boebert sent a picture of Hillary Clinton sitting at her table being deposed. It was a nothing burger of a story to use Hillary Clinton's line when we finally got the video of Hillary getting so upset over it. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior. He will go off the record one oh, for heaven.
E
Like to understand how that's permissible.
A
It doesn't matter. We all are abiding by the same rules. I. I will take that down. Yeah, well, I would like to take a break at this moment for now. Go off the record. Go off the record. Go off the record. I think she didn't like it because she didn't look good. And guess what? Lauren Bolber didn't take it down. Benny Johnson didn't either. It went all over the place. Why? Just because it was funny to see her sitting there finally being deposed. Now, real important story real quick. Master Sergeant Roderick Ed Edmonds got the Medal of Honor today. A World War II guy. Look at him. Command Sergeant Major Terry Richardson braved heavy machine gun fire in Vietnam, rescuing wounded soldiers. And Staff Sergeant Michael Olis put himself between an insurgent and wounded coalition forces. And you know what? He absorbed a blast from a suicide vest in Afghanistan. These are real American heroes. They were honored today with the Congressional Medal of Honor. Want consistent color for every job?

Throughout, Stinchfield maintains a highly patriotic, combative, unapologetically “America First” tone—critical of Democrats and moderate Republicans, vehemently supportive of the military, skeptical of gun control, and suspicious of deep state secrecy. The guest roster provides insider, dissident, and tactical perspectives, creating a narrative of decisive U.S. victory abroad and vigilance at home, while channeling indignation at perceived weak-kneed or oppositional actors in politics and media.
Summary for Listeners:
This episode covers the latest and most consequential military, political, and cultural issues—delivering both updates and analysis from authorities on the ground, framing the Iran conflict as a long-awaited reckoning, addressing domestic counter-terrorism readiness, and exploring the ever-relevant mysteries of government UFO secrecy—making it essential listening for those tracking both global affairs and American political currents.
