This is an I Heart podcast. Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. As you've heard, by now, it looks like there is an agreement in place that would end the government shutdown, but not by Wednesday at the earliest, if we're lucky. Because guess who is at the forefront of gumming up this whole deal? Senator Rand Paul, the libertarian, whose good ideas are really good and bad ideas are really bad. Very typical of a libertarian. So why is Rand Paul the only no vote on this from Republicans? Why is he going to push this further out through a bunch of maneuvers that are technical and way too in depth to go into here, but could push this out till Monday if he gets his way? All because he's angered that in the agriculture version of the three spending bills plus the cross, there is a provision that bans the unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp. Yes, hemp. Now, Kentucky is a big supplier of hemp. This is intoxicating hemp, though. This is stuff you can eat, smoke, I don't know, whatever. He wants that provision out and this could sink the whole thing. Now, look, it may be important to him, but hemp is not the issue here. Senator Paul. People getting home for Thanksgiving is. Here's Speaker Johnson on Rand Paul update. I'm just down the hall from the Senate chamber. Rand Paul, maybe a couple others are gumming up the work, so to speak. They're holding this up a bit because they have a couple of little parochial priorities that they want to use as leverage to get the final vote. But we're hoping that they will fast track this. So these procedural votes that they want, if they do this, to literally throw a monkey wrench in the whole wheel of this system. We may not get a vote till Monday. That would be disastrous. Now, I don't predict that will happen. I think there'll be too much pressure on Rand Paul, and I think they will fast track it. Speaker Johnson also seems optimistic about this, drag this out into the weekend, but that would just exact a whole other level of pain on the American people when they can least afford it. So we're praying that they get about the business, fast track this thing. I have already put the House on notice that all members are to be headed back to the Hill right now. I would like for us to be voting on this as early as Wednesday. Well, let's hope so, because the quicker we get this done, the quicker the whole country is better. Now, President Trump issued a very stern warning to air traffic controllers. He said, you get your butts back in to Work. And he said, anybody that left, if you don't return to work, you may be fired. And he said, the people that stayed, the great patriots that did, they could get a $10,000 bonus. See, President Trump's a businessman. He knows how to run a business. Even if this is the United States government doesn't act like a business at all. But the air traffic controllers put on notice by President Trump, get back to work. Now, as for the Democrats, they totally miscalculated here on their very stubborn, hypocritical shutdown of this government. Now, this is how dumb they all are, because them don't even get the PR nightmare they created for their own party. People like Bernie Sanders. Tonight, eight Democrats voted with the Republicans to allow them to go forward on this continuing resolution. And to my mind, this was a very, very bad vote. What it does, first of all, is it raises health care premiums for over 20 million Americans. Doesn't do any such thing. Everything stays the same through January 30th, where they can work out some of these deals. Now, there was a deal related to Veterans Affairs. There was a deal related to agriculture, those spending bills, and the executive branch. But Bernie Sanders again wants to make this about Obamacare, which was exposed, really, by the Democrats and all the arguments that came up as such a wasteful endeavor. President Trump saying, you know what, let's throw it out. Let's Obamacare and give everybody the subsidies directly to them. Let they figure out what they want to do with their money when paying for insurance. That's actually how free markets work. It would be a better solution to me now, clearly, because there was really no gains on Obamacare subsidies. This was a huge win for President Trump. And I will say this, the public knows it, even the media knows it.
- [05:24]
B
He was out there saying that, oh, this is all about Democrats trying to give health care to illegal immigrants. He just said that to reporters moments ago, repeated that refrain the Democrats had actually very successfully pushed back against.
- [05:35]
C
Then there's all this energy in the.
- [05:38]
B
Wake of the election. On Tuesday, the president made remarks saying.
- [05:41]
A
Basically, wow, Republicans are being harmed by.
- [05:44]
B
All of this, acknowledging that he was on his back foot. And now here he is winning again. How do we do it?
- [05:52]
A
How does he do it? He does it because he's a winner. Do you know 80% of all nationwide injunctions against the presidential policy had gone against President Trump since 1963? That's a huge number. And as those injunctions get overturned, 92% of the ones that have reached the Supreme Court have been Overturned, which means President Trump isn't lawless. That's not why the injunctions were being handed down. It's because they hate him and they've weaponized the judicial system. But again, President Trump is winning. Just on this snap decision over the weekend and so many others, including this little victory for President Trump, I would call it a vindication. I don't know why it took this long. But the BBC is being exposed for doctoring the video of President Trump's J6 speech, splicing portions of it together to make it look like President Trump incited violence when he did no such thing. Watch this. We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell. We're going to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. You see the difference? The BBC edits. We're going to go up to the Capitol and fight like hell. When? That's not what he said. He said we're going to cheer on are brave members of Congress. It's a huge difference. He also said, someplace along the way, let's let our voices peacefully and patriotically let our voices be heard. Now, President Trump is considering a $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC. Now, here's the thing. When you claim defamation, you have to prove the media. When you're a public figure like President Trump, if you got to prove the media knew they were wrong when they did it, clearly they edited, they knew they were wrong. And then you have to prove malice, I would think that's pretty easy. Take a look at this. This is the BBC edit. And here it is happening an hour that fight, fight, fight. After the original portion, an hour later, they took it from his speech.
- [08:33]
D
It's different. It wasn't until nearly an hour later that he then said the second part.
- [08:38]
A
Of the BBC's version. We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and we fight. We fight like hell. Yes, they do. So two top executives from the BBC have resigned, including the CEO, in disgrace. But I'll tell you, this. CEO Deb Turnas, she's a delusional liar. Listen to her. Her statement after being approached. I would like to say it has been the privilege of my career to serve as the CEO of BBC News and to work with our brilliant team of journalists. I stepped down over the weekend because the buck stopped with me. But I'd like to make one thing very clear. BBC News is not institutionally biased. Not institutionally biased. This has been going on forever. This was supposed to be the gold standard of journalism, like the New York Times. One's a rag and one is worse than a B movie. That's the BBC for you. Well, joining me now is the managing editor over at Newsbusters and the Media Research Center. Curtis Hauck is with us. Curtis, welcome back.
- [09:59]
C
Good to be with you, my friend.
- [10:01]
A
Curtis, what took them so long to figure this out for the BBC? We're like, you know, four, four or five years later.
- [10:10]
C
Yeah, this one's pretty interesting. You know, first of all, I should point out Deborah Turnis there. Where did she come to the BBC from? NBC News. So yikes, quite the resume there of journalistic bias there. We should also point out we think it's bad here in the US that we had to deal with PBS and npr, that we had to fund them for so long that Congress would appropriate money and the president would give them money. You actually there's a line item in the BBC like the British taxpayers have to pay a tax, a singular tax, every British citizen themselves to the BBC in order to fund this kind of nonsense. And also on the substance, it's wreak irresponsibility. I mean, you know, this grant from television, you can accomplish a lot by doing adding graphics, a screen wipe, a flash. You could have done this any number of ways while still not have required any extra time. You know, you didn't have to add, you know, I know time is money there, but you didn't have to really waste anything. The fact that they spliced it together to make it look like it was one cohesive thought by the president is just shows how rot deep the rot is. And it was a documentary, you know, so this was many layers. Many cooks were in the kitchen for this thing.
- [11:24]
A
Yeah. You know, it's important to note if you use what we call the business as a white flash, when you have to splice something together, people know it's like a cue. This was cut. Let me play it again for everybody at home one more time. If the guys in the studio can pull that back out. The first clip where we see the BBC. Let's run that. There you go.
- [11:47]
C
Let's.
- [11:47]
A
Let's run that and I'll show you what we're talking about here. We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell. We're going to walk down to the Capitol. So right there they cut to a wide shot or it sounds like President Trump is still talking and you're just showing a wide shot of the crowd. Yes, it's a very deceitful, devious way to do this, Curtis. They knew exactly what they were doing. They had to.
- [12:22]
C
Yeah. This was one of many lies that have been perpetuated against President Trump and his supporters for about a decade now. You know, President Trump talking about demanding that those at January 6th be peaceful. We go on down the list here. We got Russia, very fine people, the drinking bleach, Elon Musk, doing the Nazi salute on Inauguration Day. And the one that the BBC has also gotten in trouble for recently is they're lumping in and talking about what's going on in Gaza being a genocide. They've also had to apologize for their reporting. They're tying in people that are related to Hamas officials or children of Hamas officials, terrorists, basically. You know, not really disclosing that. This goes back to the point that I always have with the liberal media. They demand transparency, Vast. They demand the utmost transparency of us, but when it comes to demanding transparency of them, they do not comply at all because they believe that they are above it.
- [13:17]
A
You know what's amazing to me too is this is a foreign network now. It's playing, actively engaging in American politics, I believe as a co conspirator in what the mainstream media, the Democrats, the radicals were doing and try to run a coup of the United States by not allowing President Trump to run again, by forcing an impeachment of him, by doing all of these things. You got a foreign now network playing in that game with the cesspool of the mainstream media here in the United States.
- [13:48]
C
And the BBC is such a powerful institution. Let's be honest folks, if you've ever traveled to Europe and you turn on the TV in your hotel room in a non English speaking country, the BBC news is maybe the only English speaking channel you're gonna have. So not great. I mean, but they, it just shows the institutional power and the capture and yes, the foreign interference operations. Unfortunately, this is where President Trump can use this to his advantage if he would file a defamation suit. As we've unfortunately seen as of late over in the number of years, the free speech laws in the UK are not as strong as they are in the United States. So I would, I would presume that the bar for President Trump to file and have to meet in terms of a defamation suit would be far lower than it would be in the United States. So this is a case where he would actually end up using these laws to his advantage. And this is how you do it. Accountability. You fight back. You get metaphorical heads to roll. You can't just wipe your hands clean and say, we're sorry or file some internal report, be done with it. There has to be real accountability. If you did that in any other job, you'd be. You'd be done.
- [14:53]
A
Of course, it's great advice. I hope he does do that, actually. You would be ending up using their laws over there against them, which are very strict. There's, like no free speech left in England. It's amazing. Real quick, I'm going to play one more for you. I was looking at a whole bunch of these soundbites, but basically the mainstream media admitting the Democrats were holding up the government shutdown. Really amazing. I think, Curtis, they started to admit this because. Not because they wanted to call out the Democrats, but they wanted to push the narrative the media did to, hey, and this, this is a PR nightmare. It's not working. And so the mainstream media put their thumb on the Democrat scale to get them to end this. This is Chuck Todd cut number 27. Somehow, Democrats are going to snatch defeat.
- [15:37]
D
From the jaws of victory here.
- [15:38]
E
They've won.
- [15:39]
A
They've gotten more out of this shutdown.
- [15:41]
E
Than I expected them to get.
- [15:42]
A
They've got health care front and center. They've got their party fired up.
- [15:46]
E
They've got Donald Trump making ridiculous. I mean, going to court to stop.
- [15:51]
A
SNAP benefits seemed to be bad politics, Curtis.
- [15:56]
C
Wamp, wamp, sad trombone. Chuck Todd is mad. Democrats aren't getting 100 out of 100, you know. Yeah, it is interesting. They definitely did put the pressure on them because I think with the FAA and ABC tried to suggest last week that the flights being cut, you know, in the air traffic controller situation, was somehow instituted and forced upon the American people by the Trump administration. I mean, they had done weeks of stories about air traffic controllers tapping out because they weren't getting any pay, so they undermined themselves in this situation. And now when it comes to flights, if it really starts affecting flights, that's when it really trickles up to the rich and famous in the swamp.
- [16:33]
A
Yep, it sure does. And. And I think that's what was something at play here for all of this. Curtis out as always. Great work at News Busters. I appreciate you coming on and breaking all this down with us.
- [16:42]
C
Always appreciate, my friend. Talk soon.
- [16:45]
A
Absolutely. All right, folks, across the globe, Christians are not only being persecuted, they're being slaughtered.
- [16:52]
C
We.
- [16:52]
A
We saw it in Nigeria. President Trump stepped in. We're now seeing this in Syria in a very, very big way. And lo and behold, an ISIS terrorist is now the leader of Syria. And the ISIS terrorist leader of Syria managed to make his way into the White House today. President Trump is very aware of who Al Sharra really is. Here's the president. We want to see Syria become a country that's very successful. And I think this leader can do it. I really do. I think this leader can do it. And people said he's had a rough past. We've all had rough pasts. But he has had a rough past. And I think, frankly, if you didn't have a rough past, you wouldn't have a chance. He gets along very well with Turkey. I know President Trump and I know him well. President Trump is being a diplomat here. He knows he needs Syria for peace in the Middle east, so he walks a little lighter than he probably should. Rough past is an understatement. This guy was an ISIS terrorist. He's responsible for killing American soldiers. This is about as bad a dude as it possibly gets. His former name, Al Jawahlani. There was a wanted poster for him. The United states had a $10 million bounty on Al Jawani's head. Now he changed his name to Al Shiraz. If all that goes away. It doesn't. Check this video out. Put together for us by a group called Save the Persecuted Christians.
- [18:24]
B
Their cries have been ignored. Their suffering is deepening. As winter approaches, 700,000 people in Sweda are starving, deprived of water, food, and basic medicine. President Trump, you're the only world leader fighting for religious freedom. Tell President Al Shara to keep his promises and stop blocking humanitarian aid. Tell Alshara end the blockade.
- [18:48]
A
All right, now, the media was not allowed in for this meeting with President Trump and Al Shara, but I have it on good authority that President Trump did bring this up with him and in no uncertain terms says it's got to end if he wants American help and support. I want to bring in now to discuss this, co founder and executive producer of the Chosen. I haven't seen him in a while. Matthew Felici is back with us. Matthew, it's great to have you back on.
- [19:12]
D
How are you, sir?
- [19:14]
A
I'm great. It's great to have you back on. You're the one who called my attention to this. Christians being slaughtered in Syria. What's your advice to President Trump? How do you handle this?
- [19:26]
D
Well, Grant, Save the Persecuted Christians, just to mention put together in a really impressive letter with 100 of the most prominent faith leaders in America. I was honored to get to sign it. But along with such Giants as Pastor Jack Hibbs, Charlie Kirk's Pastor, Pastor Rob McCoy, Kevin Sorbo, Alveda King, Martin Luther King's niece, so on. And so Pastor Sammy Rodriguez. Just a who's who of people in the faith community. And it's fascinating, Grant, that you just said that, because I heard the exact same thing. I. You know, if you remember, back in the beginning of this, President Trump said, look, we're gonna give you a shot, okay, kid, you got a checkered past. You've been in and out of. You've been in and out of juvie. We're gonna give you the car keys and let you take the thing for a spin. But if you don't drive the car, well, if you get into some accidents, you get pulled over, we're gonna have some problems. I heard the same thing you did. I heard that that letter resulted in alshara. By the way, Al Jelani means Golan, the Golan Heights, meaning that was his area of responsibility. Read into that, if you will. But I heard he was. I also heard he was taken to the woodshed for that because there's currently a siege of 700,000 people in the southern area of Syria called Sweda. That area predominantly has Christians and also a group of people called the Druze. By the way, Grant, the Druze are. Their great ancestor is Jethro, the father in law of Moses, the person responsible in the book of Exodus for giving us the American system of government. So a really noble, amazing group of people. And it's a terrible situation down there. There was an October 7th style slaughtering that happened in July. That's the footage you just showed. And the bottom line is, if you're gonna have a functioning Syria, you can't be killing people and you can't be starving people. Just as an example, Grant, the water supply, the daily water ration that somebody receives in Sweden today is below the United nations minimum for starvation. So it's a very bad situation. They're heading into winter.
- [21:30]
A
All right, I think President Trump needs to demand that we open up humanitarian routes into that city you're talking about right now. I'm told they're closed. It's very hard to get humanitarian aid there.
- [21:43]
E
Right.
- [21:44]
A
And I also. I also think that this, you know, I should still call Mal Jelani because that's really his name. This is a terrorist. I know there's a lot of members of our military that are offended by this guy, even. Even near the White House. But the reality is he's the leader now. We're not. We're not going to take him out. So. So it is what it is. We need peace and we need to open this up. What can people do to help to make sure we keep the pressure on?
- [22:11]
D
Yeah. And first of all, Grant, look, I'm with you. I think the president's making a very calculated choice here. He's saying, look, you're gonna get a thug running Syria, right? So is it gonna be our thug, Russia's thug, China's thug? Let it be our thug. Let's give him a shot. But you're absolutely right, Grant, that the pressure needs to be kept on. I encourage everybody. I happen to be here, privileged to be here in my capacity as a religious freedom advisor with the national association of Christian Lawmakers. But I would love to send people to savethepersecutedchristians.org and they're an amazing organization. And the fact is, Grant, and I know you know this almost better than anyone, if you don't have religious freedom, which is the most sacred freedom of all, you don't have anything. That's why people came here to America in the first place. And that absolutely has to be protected. And the President Trump has made it absolutely clear in his statement about Nigeria that that is the priority of America. We are going to defend and protect religious freedom everywhere. And that applies in Syria as well.
- [23:12]
A
Yep, sure does. I appreciate you coming on and open up our eyes to this. Matthew Felici, please don't be a stranger, buddy. It's good to see you.
- [23:21]
D
Thank you, Grant.
- [23:23]
A
Absolutely. Save the persecuted Christians. Great organization. Go find them. Start doing some research on this one. This is one you want to talk about with your friends. It really is because people need to open their eyes to what's going on over there. All right. It's the one time of year that Birch Gold Group gives away free Gold with every qualifying purchase. That's right. For Black Friday. When you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA and gold, birch Gold will send a Free Gold will send free Gold to your home for every 20,000 purchased. Just text America to the number 989-898 to claim your eligibility for a free info kit on Gold. But your opportunity for free Gold with a purchase ends on November 30th. So don't wait. Text America to the number 989-898 for full details. All right, Mark Morano, our. Our climate czar is in Brazil for the climate change conference run by the United Nations. Well, you won't believe what they did to the rainforest in Brazil. To make that thing go down. We'll tell you about that coming up next. Welcome back, everyone. So the UN climate conference is underway. COP 30, they call it. This is where all the elites gather to get their plan for the year about how they're going to push the issue of climate change and how important it is to throw regulations on us that like, literally ruin our lives and cost us lots of money and do nothing to improve the climate. Well, you know, they're so hypocritical. So I see Keir Starmer, the leader of, of Great Britain, along with Prince William on a private jet. And so they're flying on this, this private jet, which is pretty unbelievable. Look at that. That's the shot of the day. Okay, it's pretty hypocritical. Here's Prince William. All of us here today understand that we are edging dangerously close to the Earth's critical tipping points, thresholds beyond which the natural systems we depend on may begin to unravel. The melting of polar ice, the loss.
- [25:46]
D
Of the Amazon, the disruption of ocean currents.
- [25:52]
A
I don't believe any of it to be true, quite frankly. Before we get to that, we'll have our, our main man, our climate czar, Mark Morano, debunk some of this stuff. But, you know, these are the same guys. There's a war on, beef going on. They want you eating bugs, not cattle, because they think cattle farts are what's ruining the climate. You cannot make this stuff up. But would you like to know what their favorite restaurant is at the COP 30 conference? We're here at the COP conference in Belen and we're with a lot of people that are lunchtime, going to get.
- [26:29]
F
Some lunch and looking for food.
- [26:31]
A
And what is the favorite in this particular area?
- [26:34]
F
Ah.
- [26:43]
A
Bob's Burgers. Bob's Burgers. You can't make it up. They want you eating bugs. But they're happy for the burger. Medium rare, nice cheese on it, maybe some onions and tomatoes too, but a burger nonetheless. Joining me now to talk about all of this is our great friend, Climate Depot publisher Mark Morano. He is in Brazil tonight at the COP30 conference. Mark, welcome to the program.
- [27:12]
E
Thank you, Grant. Happy to be here. This is perhaps the most absurd, hypocritical and inconsequential climate summit in all 30 that we've had.
- [27:23]
A
You've been almost all of them, haven't you?
- [27:25]
E
Almost 20, 22 out of the last 25 or. I can't remember, I started in 2002 going to the Johannesburg, South Africa UN Earth Summit.
- [27:36]
A
All right, would you like to debunk any of what Prince William said there about polar ice caps melting and the world ending?
- [27:45]
E
Yeah. First of all, all the failed tipping points. And his father is the one that started this. Remember, it was Prince William's father, Prince King Charles who came up with the 100 month tipping point. And he literally counted it down to 90 months. 72 months kept going. When he hit zero, he added a few decades to the 100 month tipping point. So Prince William is well schooled in how to play this game. In terms of worried about the. He mentioned the Amazon being deforested. Well, that's the UN climate summit itself. Brazil has clear cut up to 8 miles of virgin tropical Amazon rainforest at this summit in order to bring in the private jets and the limousines and the SUVs so they can all people kind of a free flow here. And they did it with the environmental minister claiming we needed to be able to get more people. We needed this new highway. We had to clear cut hundreds, thousands of acres, tens of thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of trees so we could showcase to more of the world how we're saving the Amazon the most. Man who just is complete irony is lost on him. And now because of the blowback. And by the way, it was the BBC that broke this story about them building this highway, clear cutting the Amazon to build it for a UN climate summit. But now Brazil is claiming that they want to have a big slush fund of billions of dollars from the United States and Europe to pay poor countries not to clear cut their forests. I have a way we can save billions. Just don't clear cut the forest for a UN summit and boom, we don't have to exchange billions of dollars.
- [29:18]
A
How about they just not have the conference at all? You probably save millions of dollars that way.
- [29:22]
E
That's right.
- [29:24]
A
Really, it's quite amazing. So you're there, you're walking amongst all of these people. Do they know who you are? Your history? Are they skeptical of you? What's it like there? I mean, are you being invited to any of the cocktail parties?
- [29:40]
E
No. In fact, we had our movie premiere Climate Hustle at the Paris UN climate conference. And that was 10 years ago and we were shut down by the protesters. We had a wanted poster of me. So no, there's still a lot of Amity. I've been banned for life. No, not making that up from these UN summits. I had to go in and fill out paperwork, promise to behave according to all the rules which don't apply. To anyone else. So they're well aware of who we are. We have a difficult time. We've had events at these and they interrupt them in the middle and say, John Kerry needs the room. They throw us out. But what's interesting is I'm in a battle now with your governor, California, Gavin Newsom. He's down here now today, and Politico has declared him the unofficial US Climate ambassador because the Trump administration, for the first time in 30 years, there's no U.S. delegation. Well, I had already self declared myself the official unofficial US delegation. So my question is, whose views on climate represent the American people? California's Gavin Newsom or my skeptical views? I like a vote on this, but we're battling this out and I'll let you know who the winner is. Who's the unofficial US Climate ambassador here?
- [30:49]
A
Look, you've declared it. I will say I've already called you my climate czar. So that's a bigger title than them coming up with anything you want to talk about. Gavin Newsom. So he goes down there and he makes a wild claim. Now, I want to remind everybody, the fires in California, they were devastating, they were awful. A lot of people lost, lost a lot in those fires, but they were not related to climate change. We now have whistleblowers that have come out, firemen that said literally it was smoldering after fireworks that started the original fire. They never should have left it. The high winds come in, it spreads, not climate change. Gavin Newsom makes this claim. Mark, roll it home. Values will start to decline. You're seeing it across the spectrum right now in my state included, which is one of the most blessed and cursed states as it relates to climate. We're on the tip of the spear of climate change. Simultaneous droughts and simultaneous floods. The hots are getting a lot hotter, the dry is drier. You saw one of the most devastating wildfires in American history in the middle of winter. Okay, all of it's wrong, Mark.
- [32:01]
E
It is just disgustingly wrong. First of all, there are droughts, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, according to the United nations, according to peer reviewed literature, according to the data, is not getting worse on climate timescales. 30, 50, 100 years. Wildfires are down dramatically. 90 plus percent of the last hundred years in the US to use the California wildfire, which was absolutely a man made catastrophe, but not man made climate. It was a catastrophe of public planning, a catastrophe of water management, land management, and of course the fire department not actually putting the fire out. And how do we know that? Because the Firemen themselves had texts revealing that they had not put the fire out when they were called off the fire. Of course they didn't have the water. They've been blowing up dams. They've been had hydrants that went empty. It was an absolute disaster for him to come here and, and an embarrassment of intellect, an embarrassment of logic to make any of the claims he made here. But of course, there'll be no scrutiny here at the UN Summit of all this, all the crap he just spewed.

Well, except for us, Mark Morano specifically, and we're grateful for that. My only request next time is maybe go from the balcony so as we're talking, they can all hear everything they're saying. They're. Because I know they're not watching Real America's voice. I guarantee you that. Mark Morano, as always, thank you for coming on tonight.

Thank you, Grant. Appreciate it.

If you're carrying over $10,000 in credit card debt, don't wait for Washington to fix it. Call Iconic Debt Relief now and take your financial power back. Go to iconic debt relief.com forward/rav deb tv or call 83340. Is that an 83828? Yes, 833-408-3828. All right. President Trump has ordered an investigation into meat packing companies. We talk about it next. You know, President Trump is committed to bringing the price of everything down. And we are seeing that Walmart 25% decrease in prices for a Thanksgiving dinner this year compared to last year. That's great news. But check this. When it comes to meat, I found this very interesting. This is a true social post from the President. It reads, I have asked the Department of Justice to immediately begin an investigation into the meatpacking companies who are driving up the price of beef through illicit collusion, price fixing and price manipulation. We will always protect our American ranchers and they are being blamed for what is being done by majority foreign owned meat packers who artificially inflate prices and jeopardize the security of our nation's food supply. It wasn't just President Trump talking about this. Ag Secretary Rollins was also called this into question.
- [35:35]
B
We have four major processors, two owned by the Brazilians. So half of that is not even American owned. You have a major issue. When they are processing 85% of the beef in America, we have to decentralize, deregulate, invest in and incentivize smaller processors. Instead of processing 800 head a day, they could process 800 head a year.
- [36:00]
A
In many respects, I blame our own government for this. We let this get out of control. China has a huge stake in some of the meat packing and processing plants here in the United States as well. So now you got Brazil, China, everybody but the United States. Well, I want to bring in now our next guest here. Keely is with America Unwon. That's her Instagram post. Keely Covella is our. Covelo is our guest. Keely, welcome to the program.
- [36:33]
B
Hi, Greg. Good to see you.
- [36:35]
A
Well, it's great to see you. So you have been such an instrumental voice for American ranchers. How were they affected by this? Because many people were blaming the ranchers for the price of meat. You agree with President Trump? I take it that that's not the case.
- [36:53]
B
Exactly. Yeah. Our American cattle ranchers are one of the most decentralized aspects of American agriculture. 97% of our ranches are family owned and operated. The vast majority run less than 50 head of cattle. So blaming cattlemen for prices at the grocery store skips a big power player in the beef industry, which is those four massive meatpacking corporations that control 85% of the US beef supply. Two of them are foreign owned.
- [37:25]
A
Do you think they are actually colluding with each other to drive up the price of beef? That's President Trump's allegation.
- [37:33]
B
Well, that's what he's looking into, yeah. And ranchers have been asking for this kind of investigation for a long time. In 1921, we passed an important act called the packers and Stockyards act, when there were just five major meat packers that controlled even less of the industry. Most ranchers will tell you that law is not being properly enforced today. So President Trump's actions to look into possible collusion is really important because our ranchers are price takers. They're not price makers. So they've been losing money. We've lost 107,000 cattle ranchers in the last five years. Our ranchers are going extinct, while these corporations, again, half of them are majority foreign owned, continue to make massive profits off of the American consumer.
- [38:16]
A
What kind of control do they have over the ranchers? How do they affect the life of an everyday rancher.
- [38:22]
B
Well, they're the ones buying our beef supply. They control 85% of the beef supplies. So when they import from Mexico, for example, they often undercut our American producers here. American producers produce the best beef in the world by far. No competition. They deserve to be compensated for the amazing work that they do. And I would argue that they are part of protecting our most valuable resource, which is our land. Ranching is a wonderful part of our, you know, of how we keep the west open and free and grazing is beneficial for our landscapes.
- [38:59]
A
You know, I acknowledge that one of the downsides of America is the doing away with the mom and pop and going with big companies, whether that's all the way down from the rancher. And now you've got these huge ranching companies that are coming in and buying up the small guys. You got meatpacking companies. Wouldn't it be better if you had individual meatpacking companies in every little, small, small regional area that could handle and process the beef? Secretary Rollins explained that. What is stopping that from happening? I mean, you know, if you do a better job, you should be able to start a company and do better than the next one. That's what free markets are about. But it seems like something's preventing that from happening.
- [39:39]
B
Yeah, and I hope we get a lot of answers out of this investigation that the DOJ is initiating. But number one, we need less regulation. We need to have more opportunities for more small and mid sized processors to supply meat directly to the American people. What people want, beef supply or beef demand, Sorry, is through the roof right now. I think it just hit a 40 year high. People are now returning to a more holistic way of eating. We're not buying the lies about climate change and beef. People want American beef. They know that whole foods and animal products are essential for health and nutrition and they want to support local ranchers. That's what the American people want. So another important piece of legislation would be mcooled, mandatory country of origin labeling so consumers know where their beef is coming from and they can choose to support domestic producers. Right now we don't have that transparency and a lot of ranchers would like to see that legislation come back real quick.
- [40:33]
A
I do know that we do have the eye of President Trump at times watching this program and I'm always humbled about that. If you had a message for him directly from, from the ranching community's mouth to his ears, what would it be?
- [40:49]
B
I think it would be, thank you. This is a step that we've asked for for a long time. And I think the most ranchers I speak with are just over the moon. Secretary Rollins has been a wonderful choice to head up usda. She is an advocate for small producers. She has a lot to manage. We understand that keeping America fed is a big job, but we need to get back to honoring the American farmers and ranchers who feed us because we're losing, losing farmland at a rapid rate and we can't afford to do that. The American rancher is such an essential part of the story of America. It's inspiring aspect of our national identity. We need to keep them in business.
- [41:25]
A
I stand right there with you on that. It's the reason why I bring you on and any other stories that we need coverage on, Keely, you make sure you bring them to me because we got. We got the back of the American rancher out there. Keely Covelo, great work as always. Unwon is your Instagram and I urge people to check you out there. Thank you as always.
- [41:44]
C
Thank you, Greg.
- [41:45]
B
Appreciate you.
- [41:46]
A
Absolutely. All right, folks, it is not too late to make big changes to your body and your health. What's next? Welcome back, everyone. You want to make a big change in your life? You know what you got to do? You got to get with the folks over at Energized Health. Trust me, I did. I lost 15 pounds in two weeks and I have kept it off. It was life changing. Watch this.
- [42:16]
B
I am here for my final check in and I couldn't be happier with the results. I've been happy to share it with people. They're definitely curious because it shows. My weight change is about 36 pounds. I work at a ladies appointment apparel store and I have regular customers. I've been there for eight years and they are all noticing. They said 1412, size 10, size 8, size 6. I went from a large to a medium to a small and now I'm in an extra small. I'm also healthy and energetic and happy. Worked for me. I'm happy.
- [42:55]
A
You know what I love? I partner up with Energized Health. Not just here at Real America's Voice on the podcast too. Do you know I get emails from people saying thank you for introducing me to them. My life changed because of it. Well, I want to bring in now the founder of Energized Health, my good friend John. Jubilee is with us. John, welcome back.
- [43:13]
F
Hey, Grant.
- [43:15]
A
John, it's great to have you on. Look, we're moving into Thanksgiving. That's a tough time for people to get healthy. What do you say to them? Because I say now is actually the time to start.
- [43:28]
F
No, you know what? It's always the best time to start. You know, a great decision is a great decision. Today, tomorrow, next week. A great decision is always a great decision. Look, you guys just heard a woman who lost seven. Seven of these. So think about, you know, I don't know what it would cost for liposuction to get rid of seven of those, but you probably be recovering from your surgery for six months. She did it the healthy way. The coolest thing is not that she lost seven of these, Grant, but she said she's happy, she's healthy, and she's energetic. So, you know, at Energized Health, our goal is we want you to feel great first. Feel great, have your energy. And the side effect is you're going to lose your fat, gain your muscle, gain your hydration.
- [44:14]
A
Well, we talk about a mind, body, soul program, and it really, really is. Hold up that again, because I'm just thinking about this now. I lost three of those. And, John, you know me, I was in pretty good shape before I started, and I just wanted to tighten things up. That means most of that, I think, was not coming from around my outer gut, the old tire that we all know. But inside, that had to have been a lot of visceral fat around my organs.
- [44:42]
F
100%, it's the visceral fat, Grant.
- [44:44]
A
And.
- [44:44]
F
And just conversely, you know, look, this is this exact same weight of lean muscle. So look how much more bulky and nasty and suffocating this is to the body. But. But, guys, muscle is good weight. It's healthy weight. It keeps us strong so that we live long and we live a great life. You know, look, we're all going to die one day in life, Grant, but we want to die with dignity. You know, I just had the. The honor to attend the funeral of one of my longtime energized health clients. We don't promise people are going to live forever, but you know what I love about this guy story, Grant? He became a legacy to his children, his grandchildren, to his great grandchildren. They never really saw him sick. They just saw him live this vibrant life, driving all over, you know, the whole state of California, you know, living a legacy with all of his kids, doing activities with them, all of this. But when it came his time to die, Grant, nobody was changing his diapers. Nobody was wiping his butt. You know what? He died like a man with his dignity. He just laid down his bed and went to sleep and went to heaven. That's how we all Want to die one day.

A
