Grant Stitchfield
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. It is one of the most important stories of our time. I'm talking about the J6 cover up. Specifically, what role did the FBI play? The Capitol Police, the CIA, our own government. It appears to me they were in on much of it. A setup job to sink President Trump in any future run for the presidency. It is a story that is filled with government lies. And now we have more proof that Deep State vipers will do anything to hold on to their unfettered power. Do you remember the two pipe bombs that were found outside the DNC and RNC headquarters? The pipe bomber caught on tape there. It shut down the counting of the electoral college votes. I always believed it was a phony deal. It was a concocted crime to incriminate MAGA Republicans falsely. Well, the Blaze, along with the Gateway pundit, is reporting that the J6 pipe bomber could be a former Capitol Police officer, now turned CIA security officer. Her name, according to these outlets, is Shawnee Kirchhoff. Blaze investigative reporters claim to have concluded her identity writing this in the Blaze quote. A software algorithm that analyzes walking parameters, including flexion, knee bend, hip extension, speed, step, length, cadence and variance rated Shawnee Ray Kirkhoff, 31, of Alexandria, Virginia, as a 94% match to the bomb suspect shown on video January 5, 2021. The veteran analyst who ran the analysis for Blaze News said that based on visual observations the program can struggle with. He personally pegged the match at closer to 98%. Kirchhoff's name, as you can imagine, has since gone viral. So let me be clear. I never believed the bombs were real. You saw Secret Service walking around there. There was no real sense of urgency once they found the bombs. And here's what I don't think. I don't think Kirchhoff went rogue. I think this was part of her job. I think she was ordered to do it. But this is only my assessment. Darren Beatty and I have uncovered the.

Benny Harmony
Most information evidence, shady circumstances related to.
- [03:34]
Commercial Narrator
The pipe bombers both at the DNC and rnc. But what Darren always said is if you expose the truth about the pipe bombs. The entire January 6th narrative unravels.
- [03:47]
Grant Stitchfield
All right, so that's Julie Kelly on with Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon. And you know Darren Beatty from this program has been a great friend of exposing a lot of the irregularities surrounding this is now working inside the Department of Justice. That's a good thing. Then I saw this tweet from Congressman Thomas Massie, quote, america is waking up today to learn that the capitol police turned CIA orchestrated the pipe bombs on January 6th and the FBI has covered it up for over four years. I questioned FBI Director Wray, ATF Director Dettelbach and FBI Assistant Director over D.C. d' Antonio under oath. All played dumb. No surprise there. So the question is, what will Cash Patel's FBI do about this new information? Well known attorney Ed Martin said this on the Benny Show.
- [04:43]
Jim Hoft
I talked to Bongino over the weekend.
- [04:45]
Ben Berkwam
And he said, look, we are in this completely and it's not off the radar. This is not something that anybody should.
- [04:52]
Jim Hoft
Think is out of the off of anybody.
- [04:56]
Grant Stitchfield
And Dan and I know each other.
- [04:57]
Ben Berkwam
For a long time. To hear him say it, I know.
- [05:00]
Jim Hoft
Exactly what he means.
- [05:00]
Ben Berkwam
And so I'm confident that we're making progress.
- [05:05]
Grant Stitchfield
Look, I'm personal friends with both Dan Bongino and Cash Patel and I can promise you that if they have this information, they will investigate it. Both of them were committed to getting to the bottom of all of this. Well, with me now is the man who's been instrumental in uncovering so much about January 6th. The irregularities, the COVID up, the government overreach, the lies. He's founder and editor of the Gateway Pundit. He's also my friend Jim Hoft is with us. Jim, welcome to the program.
- [05:35]
Jim Hoft
Hey, it's great to be with you, Grant. I am having a bit of trouble hearing the sound volume, but that was a great opening. I agree with you 100%. This incident this weekend that was brought to light changes everything. I think this seals the deal that this was a fed direction and not an insurrection. And this comes after we learned a few weeks ago that there were actually not just 50 or 20 FBI agents in the crowd on January 6th, but 274 FBI agents in the crowd. They finally admitted that. So this is looking really bad for the government like you, Grant. When I first heard about this case, the pipe bombs, I was there on January 6th by the way. But when I heard about it, I just rolled my eyes and I was thinking this sounds totally. I was already convinced it was the feds when I saw this person walking I felt like it was a woman. I never felt like it was a man. Just by, I don't know, intuition. Anyway, now we know that this person has a 98% match, like you said, to this Shawnee Kirchhoff, who was a soccer player in college and now she's working at the CIA. They say insecurity, but who knows what that actually means?
- [07:07]
Grant Stitchfield
Jim, are you, like me, under the belief that I don't think that if this is her, that I don't think she went rogue. I don't think she actually even set real bombs outside of this. I think this was all part of the concocted scheme and I probably think she was taking orders from whoever was above her.
- [07:27]
Jim Hoft
Absolutely. And you know what's interesting too is, you know, we have friends in the FBI today. Dan Bongino and Cash Patel are friends of mine and yours. And then Ed Martin has been a longtime friend of mine. He's from. He lived in St. Louis for a long time. I know Ed very well. And yet we're not hearing anyone talk about this. I mean, this is a very big story. Why aren't they telling the American public something? I think we're getting very tired of this. We expect it when Joe Biden's the president, but not when we have Donald Trump and friends of ours who are in the FBI and the Intelligence department. So, yeah, we deserve to know more about this person and her role, if there was a role in the January 6th, these pipe bomb incidents.
- [08:22]
Grant Stitchfield
And no surprise, Jim, it has been absolute crickets from the mainstream media as well, because. Because the mainstream Media's narrative about J6 is completely collapsed. But, you know, the sad reality is, unless you're watching Real America's Voice or reading the Gateway Pundit, most of America still believes that January six was some kind of an insurrection and it was craziness, when instead, really, as I've described, it was an unorganized tour of the Capitol by grandmothers and grandfathers. But most people don't know that because the mainstream media has continued to stay silent on all of this.
- [08:56]
Jim Hoft
Absolutely. And Grant, that's interesting. You bring up the grandmothers and grandfathers. There's been several grandmothers, a couple from Iowa, a couple from Missouri who were arrested and had their house raided early in the morning because they walked through the Capitol. And yet we're able to identify these grandmothers from Missouri, but not this person who was walking alone at night on her phone. It's very, very interesting. It always has raised several red flags.
- [09:25]
Grant Stitchfield
Well, and when you really dig into it. There's edited surveillance video as well. I think maybe they thought we never were going to figure out. There's portions that disappear on it. The whole thing just stinks to high heaven. And I think by you covering it, the Blaze covering it, Real America's Voice covering it, we put some pressure on our friends Bongino and Patel. I am still hopeful they will get to the bottom of it. So we shall see. And we shall also keep the pressure on Jim Hoft. It's always great having you on.
- [09:55]
Jim Hoft
Thanks, Grant.
- [09:56]
Grant Stitchfield
Good to see you. Good to see you as well. Don't Forget the Gateway Pundit.com one of my number one outlets to go to every morning to get my conservative news of the day. All right, folks, now to the government shutdown. We got good news. Vote goes through yesterday and it looks like we are going to have a vote tomorrow morning in the House of Representatives. It probably will still be razor thin, but here's what I, I know the Democrats are melting down. This party is in a tailspin as they rush to defend Chuck Schumer, who literally threw up the white flag and, and lost and lost in a big way. This is Representative Torres, a Democrat. I mean, Senator Schumer voted against the agreement. So I don't understand the criticism, you know, that he couldn't get his, his caucus united. That's the criticism can have influence. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to have influence. Leadership can have influence. But ultimately members make their own decisions and members have to be held accountable for their individual decision decisions. Look, a lot of the senators that turn and vote with Republicans aren't even running again, is what I'm being told. And then from a Democrat perspective, it's a disaster, a PR nightmare for them. America turned against the Democrat Party. I believe the party is in a free fall. This was all about literally get Trump derangement. They wanted to make Trump look bad. Instead, he looks great. And yet you got Jeffries, the leader in the House, still stomping, saying he's not voting to move the government forward. Our expectation that the House will vote at some point tomorrow and House Democrats will strongly oppose any legislation that does not decisively address the Republican health care crisis. All right, so help me break all of this down. Rav. D.C. congressional Correspondent Benny Harmony is with me. Benny, it's great to see you. Welcome back, Grant.
- [11:58]
Benny Harmony
It's great to see you. Thanks for having me. And you know, I really like how you said you started talking about leadership and how a lot of these Democrats are mad at their leadership and the thing is, is we have the Republicans have strong leadership. And I think that's where the divide between Republicans and Democrats is, leader like Donald Trump who can rally us all together no matter what is happening. And so they can, they can blame it on the leadership, they can blame it on individual members all that they want. But at the end of the day, the Republican Party is led by people who genuinely care and it shows.
- [12:33]
Grant Stitchfield
Yeah, this was bad decisions all the way around. I mean, it was a total miscalculation on behalf of the Democrats. I want to ask you, though, so I'm reading that the government will not open up until Monday and maybe Monday night, even though we get a vote in the House tomorrow, what's the delay in getting the government back open quicker?
- [12:54]
Benny Harmony
Well, I want to point out there is a Rules Committee meeting tonight at sick. I think it just kicked off around 30 minutes ago. And so a bill has to go through committee before it goes to the House floor. And so I think why they are portraying that this could possibly be before, it could be next Monday before we get an answer is because the Democrats will continue to draw this out even though the Senate passed the bill and now it has to go back to the House to get support before it can go to the president's desk. The Democrats are going to still try to hold this up. And so to everyone watching, you know, be aware that this is not probably going to be just a one vote, easy done. The Democrats will continue fighting just like Jeffrey said. And so I think that's why it will potentially take that long. But a lot of Republicans here on the Hill grant, we were just in the Oval Office last night and President Trump and some senators were in there as well. And they are very hopeful that it will be sooner than next week, that we should have the government open by the end of this week.
- [13:55]
Grant Stitchfield
You know, I just talked to a gentleman today at my gym where I get a lot of news from people walking around the gym. Him and his family run a company that run ambulances on Department of Defense military bases across the country and including some rural counties where those ambulances paid for by the feds. Guess what? Here's something like a thousand employees can't be paid because the government money is not coming through. This isn't just government employees. There are contractors that run ambulance services. And I was like, wow, you know, this is amazing. They've got 400 pieces of equipment around the country that they've got to pay for gas and all that. Not getting paid. It is positive that we get this moving forward. But then we got January 30th. How do they think they're going to get a deal? Benny, by January 30th we're going to go through this all over again.
- [14:46]
Benny Harmony
And Grant, that's what really worries me and is worrying a lot of people here in D.C. because this is a very short term solution, right? And so by promising the Democrats that they will be able to bring these subsidies in the Obamacare fight back to the floor, I am worried that this is going, we're gonna see something very similar in this spring. And so, but the good thing is, Grant, I want everyone to be very aware of this. It is a Republican run House of Representative. And so at the end of the day, the Republicans do have the upper hand. And so we've seen how strong the leadership like Mike Johnson and Thune have been throughout this whole process. And we need to have complete faith in those people to ensure that this doesn't happen again. These are leaders who have been doing this job for quite a long time and so they know what they're doing and I have no doubt that they have a plan and hopefully it'll be revealed to us soon.
- [15:43]
Grant Stitchfield
Yeah, absolutely. Let me just play a clip from speaker Johnson. Cut 11 for the guys behind the glass and then I'll get your comment after. Benny, the cr, the clean continuing resolution that you explained we passed back in September, mid September seems like a decade ago now is, is virtually unmodified except for the date because we were going to extend another seven weeks which would have given us until November 21st. But of course because the Democrat shenanigans, they ate all the time time off the clock now. So that date will now be pushed to January 30th. All right, Benny, just to remind everybody, I'll give you the last word here. Virtually unmodified, which means none of this had to happen. None of it, Grant.
- [16:24]
Benny Harmony
None of this had to happen. And so when we are saying that the Democrats are trying to use the hardworking American taxpayer as leverage for their games, we mean it. I went through these CRs today. I was sitting in the briefing room and I dissecting these and trying to figure out where the catch up was. But the thing is, is all along these bills are the same. They all say the same thing. They voted, what was it, 13 or 14 times against this. And now 42 days later, after the American people have suffered, 6% of flights at major airports have been closed, snap benefits canceled. Military members I've been talking to, you know, my Hometown, military. And it is absurd. And so the fact that none of this had to happen, the Democrats did this, Every American should be worried and should think about this in 2026 during the midterms.
- [17:18]
Grant Stitchfield
They. They absolutely should. I don't think this is going to help them at all. And that's a fact. Benny, Harmony, great to have you on. Good work. Thank you, as always.
- [17:26]
Benny Harmony
Thank you, Grant.
- [17:28]
Commercial Narrator
All right.
- [17:28]
Grant Stitchfield
Absolutely. You know, it seems to be a theme today about government lies. You know, Schumer and the Democrats say they care about you. They don't. You got the J6 lies. And I want to get back to Covid. Another very important story. You know, they tested us. Tested us, Tested us. You get tested for Covid, and they use these PCR tests. You know, a study out of Germany now found that only 14% of the positive PCR tests were actually related to Covid. How do they figure this out? Because they went back and looked at the antibodies in the people that had the PCR positives. Only 14%, which means the large majority of cases never happened. It's why we had zero cases of the flu. This is Neil Oliver talking about how the PCR tests were just simply used to push lockdowns and mandates in 2019, 2020. There was nothing. There was nothing to see here. What we ended up with was a pandemic of testing with the misapplication of PCR tests that were never designed, according to their designer, to be used as diagnost tools. They're forensic. They're not diagnostic. Everything about it was hinky. The whole thing was obviously they simply took an opportunity to do something that they were planning to do anyway. PCR tests should have never been used as a diagnostic tool. And the. The authorities, the fda, they knew about it all. The cdc, you better believe they knew about it. What did they use them for? To amplify fear, to boost compliance and, of course, push those vaccines. Well, joining me now is primary care physician and author of Unavoidably Unsafe childhood vaccines reconsidered. Dr. Jeff Barkey is with us. Doc, it's great to have you back on.
- [19:21]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
Hey, Grant, thanks for having me. Great to be with you.
- [19:24]
Ben Berkwam
All right.
- [19:24]
Grant Stitchfield
I know this comes as no surprise, this number, that only 14 of the PCR positives turned out to be COVID 19 in Germany. I would imagine it translates to the United States. But your reaction, and now seeing this done by real scientists, real doctors, in a real journal of medicine.
- [19:42]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
Well, there's no surprise by this study. We knew it all along. The PCR test was never designed to detect infection. What it detects is minuscule particles of the RNA virus. And then they would crank up the cycle threshold, they would amplify the test to create positivity. And so the problem is that you could test the side of a. Of a table and get a positive result, let alone that we were actually going to treat based on a test result. I was always taught in medical school, we don't treat test results, we treat patients. And that's what I tried to do. And then the government went out of its way to suppress effective repurposed medication like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. This was a money game. This was a scam. This was all based on fear. No surprise out of Germany.
- [20:35]
Grant Stitchfield
You know, I believe. And let's not forget, because we always talk about the money and the vaccines and big pharma and their ties to government. And I know that was a lot of it, but let's not forget to. This was weaponized to keep people home so they wouldn't vote for President Trump during, during that 2020 election was all part of the big steal. These positives, they wanted lots of positives. They didn't want negatives. They wanted positives. Didn't they, Doc?
- [21:01]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
They absolutely did. For a variety of reasons. The more you can keep people in fear, the more likely it is they're going to follow your directive. We've never seen anything like this before. The government imposing its will upon free citizens. They closed churches, they closed mom and pop stores, they forced healthy people to stay indoors, and they closed down hospitals and told sick people to stay away. I've never seen anything like that happen before. The sad part here, Grant, is I'm not clear that the American people learned their lesson. And when the government comes around and does this again, I just hope enough of us will stand up this time and say, hell no.
- [21:42]
Grant Stitchfield
Well, there certainly is more of us. Whether it's enough, I'm not sure. I didn't prep you on this. I don't know if you saw this study, but I just saw it before I came on South Korea vaccine, Acquired immune deficiency syndrome that 51.6 million people they tested. This is related to the COVID vaccine. Had a higher rate for cold, upper respiratory infections, pneumonia and tuberculosis, all from the vaccine. It seems like this vaccine is getting blamed for everything. Dr. McCullough called it flat out poison. Dr. Barkey, I'll give you the last word.
- [22:18]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
The vaccine should be pulled from the market immediately. Messenger RNA technology should be used Very, very skeptically. This product is dangerous. It has harmed much more people than it has helped. And we're seeing the consequences, and we probably will continue to see the consequences for a generation.
- [22:37]
Grant Stitchfield
You know, I just saw an article. They want this MRNA vaccines now for dogs and cats and pets. I mean, if it harms humans, it's going to harm your pets, too. Maybe that, though, Doc, is the key. I just thought of this. Maybe that's the key to getting outrage in America. If it hurts the animals, everybody will be going crazy. Humans, not so much.
- [22:58]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
Yeah, that's my next book. Unavoidably Unsafe Pet Vaccines Reconsidered.

But if you listen to the mainstream media, they'll tell you it's a yoga session going on there. When your company earns unlimited 2% cash back on all purchases with Capital One, that's serious business. So Stephen at Sandcloud got a serious business card, the Spark Cash plus card from Capital One.

Grant Stitchfield
Welcome back. Well, the antifa America hating goons were back at it again, this time on the campus of UC Berkeley, where Turning Point USA was holding an event. And again, things got violent. Now, I want you to look at what's going on here, okay? You have fires being set. You have smoke bombs being thrown. You have violent Rhetoric being being called out. It looks like an absolute war zone. Not to mention the cars that could easily run over somebody and cause serious damage. And I wouldn't put it past any of these people. They are street terrorists. But how do you think the mainstream media in San Francisco covered this?
- [25:51]
Benny Harmony
Protesters have been out here for hours. You can see them still here behind me. They have been chanting. Just a very, very lively scene out here. While things have been mostly peaceful, there have been some tense moments. Earlier this evening, there was a scuffle that broke out where two men started fighting. UC Berkeley police had to break up that interaction. Later, someone was throwing smoke bombs and a car backfired, leading some of the people who were protesting to run away. The protest was put together by students organizing.
- [26:22]
Grant Stitchfield
Folks, mostly peaceful. So she literally shows you the violence. Okay, but yet still tells you mostly peaceful. This ding dong didn't get the message when CNN and MSNBC were pulling this. That's local news in San Francisco. That's a big market. That's not some little market in Tyler, Texas. She ought to know better. But I think literally they're sympathetic to antifa and not people like us that love Turning Point usa. Listen to them yelling things at people just trying to go learn something. All right, we got to bleep it because they're basically yelling, f you, fascist. Now, is that the way you get your argument across? I personally would say no. This is UC Berkeley, Turning Point chapter president.
- [27:24]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
And to all those protesters outside, I have one thing to say. It is clear to us which side is winning. When your side becomes the violent agitators, when you try to win with force and not through reason, you have lost.
- [27:42]
Grant Stitchfield
I mean, these are bright young minds that are members of Turning Point usa. Now, I will say this. I applaud UC Berkeley for actually allowing a Turning Point USA chapter on campus. I'm fighting with friends of my son who's 16 years old, that have kids all across Dallas, Texas, their schools, from Christian private schools to public schools to very expensive non Christian private schools that won't let Turning Point USA come on campus. So, UC Berkeley, I'll give you one thumbs up. But you better keep the crowds under control, which it doesn't seem like you're able to do. I want to bring in now our good friend Rav correspondent Ben Berkwam. He covers this stuff like nonstop. Ben, welcome to the program.
- [28:28]
Ben Berkwam
Hey, thank you, Grant. Great to be back with you.
- [28:32]
Grant Stitchfield
Were you surprised like me? I actually can't believe UC Berkeley actually allows Turning Point USA even though they Claim to be the big free speech campus going back to the 60s.
- [28:42]
Ben Berkwam
Yeah. Berkeley used to be the bastion for open dialogue, for open conversation. It was part of this whole liberal free love and thought movement. It's become a campus and a city that is opposed to that. And you can see that the same people that are chanting MAGA or fascinating fascists are truly the fascists. I've been dealing with this since 2016 and 2017 when I was attacked at Berkeley simply for going out there to try to find common ground. And the reality is, until we actually have DAs and prosecutors that prosecute these terrorists and that's what they are for, attacking innocent people, for wanting to go out and express themselves and express their ideas, we're not going to see a change. I do applaud the school for actually letting it happen. Although they let it happen in the past, they just same thing, allowed these terrorists to come and attack people. In the past, the police were stood down. When I got attacked, the police were stood down. They were 30ft away from me watching it happen. But now what we see is the bigger problem is these DAs don't prosecute. So even when there's crimes committed, they may be arrested, but they're immediately released because the DA's don't prosecute. And so until that changes and until these fascist terrorists that claim to be anti fascist are actually held accountable, it's going to continue. And that's the thing we see across our country. By the way, Grant, this is directly driven by Democratic Socialists of America. This is Mondami, this is aoc, this is Rashida Tlaib. This is their party. They call themselves Democrats, but reality, it's the Democratic Socialists of America that are running this. Antifa are simply the brown shirts for them today.
- [30:22]
Grant Stitchfield
Ben, I'm sure a few of them there were students that were causing this ruckus, but do you believe that most of them are probably not. Most of them are coming in from other places to. To cause this chaos.
- [30:37]
Ben Berkwam
Yeah. So you've got a hyper violent population there between Oakland and San Francisco that every time there's an event at Berkeley or anywhere in the Bay Area, they all mobilize and they come from all areas, you know, and in some cases they're flown in if it's a big enough event from out of the state. But they have a very violent sect of antifa in the Bay Area of California. Again because it's been supported by the Communists, the Democratic. They call themselves Democratic Socialists. In reality, it's communist. They want to destroy this country. From within. And the only way they win against our ideas is to attack them violently. They cannot compete in the arena of ideas anymore. So the only thing they can do is what you see happening last night in Berkeley. And again, until they're held accountable, they're going to continue.
- [31:25]
Grant Stitchfield
You raise an interesting point about the district attorneys. We know in these liberal cities, they don't really prosecute any crime, much less antifa crime. But I do think that because it's even encouraged and enabled all the way up and down that coast, you could go all the way down to Los Angeles. All the way up and down.
- [31:43]
Ben Berkwam
That's right.
- [31:44]
Grant Stitchfield
I think they come in from other states to go live there because they know they can embed themselves there and get away with it. Where if this was happening and they were getting away with it in another city, another town someplace, they'd all go there. But this is where they can. Where they can do it basically without any, as you said, consequence whatsoever.
- [32:03]
Ben Berkwam
Yeah, no, that's right. It's the same reason why illegals flock to places like California and criminals flock to places like California. Other criminals. Because if you know you're going to get away with the crime, well, where would you go? It's just human nature. So no doubt about it, that's why we see this increase in violence in these communities. And sadly, I think, as you see, seats being lost. But to the tyranny of King Newsom, I think it's only going to get worse.
- [32:27]
Grant Stitchfield
Ben, do you think any of those people were paid to be there?
- [32:32]
Ben Berkwam
There's no doubt about it. These organizations are paying hundreds of people across the country, if not thousands at each one of these events. Now, some of them are just locals that want to fight and they know they're going to get away with it. But all of these organizations, all of these protests are run through groups like Indivisible ActBlue, and every single one of them are paid. So you've got organizers above it all that are organizing. And again, that's why this is, to me, is not just going after antifa individuals. This is a RICO case. This is a conspiracy, a criminal conspiracy against all of these organizations. From the the top, where the funding's coming from, all the way down to the foot soldiers on the ground.

Grant Stitchfield
Absolutely. You too. All right, folks. President Trump spoke at Arlington National Cemetery to honor our veterans. On this Veterans Day, we will go through some of his speech and I'm going to tell you something. I'm really mad about something. I'm still mad about it. Luca getting traded to the Mavericks while there is some sweet revenge. We're going to talk sports whether you like it or not. Coming up next.

Hey there, Grant Stitchfield here. Let's be clear. Cryptocurrency is no longer emerging. It's here. And this latest move cements that reality in a big way. Trump Media just inked a massive 6.4 billion deal with Yorkville Acquisition Corp. And Crypto.com, the crypto platform trusted by millions of users worldwide. They're teaming up to Scoop up to 6.4 billion in CRO, the powerhouse token that fuels fast, low fee, defi staking rewards and real world perks like cash back on your spends to establish America's first publicly traded CRO treasury. Trump Media Group CRO strategy When it's done, this new company will be the biggest publicly traded CRO holder out there. Want in on the action? Head to crypto.com today and let's make crypto great again. For more information on the proposed business combination, check out Yorkville Acquisition Corp's public filings. All right, welcome back, everyone. Today is a very good day. One, I get to celebrate veterans and I love celebrating veterans. We'll get to that in a moment. But two, Nico has been fired from the Dallas Mavericks. Nico Harrison, the worst GM in American history with the worst trade since Babe Ruth got traded from the Red Sox to the New York Yankees, which worked out well for my Yankees is gone and I couldn't be happier last night. The Mavs are like down by two. Their own player, PJ Washington, is on the line. You want to know how Mad Mavs fans are they're chanting fire Nico while PJ Washington is on the line. Well, finally, after what months and months and months after this disastrous trade, Luka Doncic now averaging 40 points for the Los Angeles Lakers, who are in the Western Conference, by the way. And I don't mean to talk too much sports, because this is supposed to be a political show, but this is about my season tickets at the Mavs. This is about my Dallas Mavericks. So what are the Mavericks going to do about it now? They better do something. But here's the deal. This was a bad move. This is Nick Wright on podcast. Listen.
- [37:22]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
It's simply the worst move an executive has made in sports in 100 years. It's hard to argue. It's simply that and his hubris and quotes after the fact. If the trade itself didn't fully do him in, they did him in.
- [37:44]
Grant Stitchfield
So in return for Luka Doncic, guy who brings his team to the finals in the running for, like, MVP of the league, we get Anthony day to day Davis, who now has missed, like, most games with the Mavericks. He's out now. Bad trade. And we only lucked out getting the number one pick to get Cooper Flag, who only recently has had a great game, who has been no shining star by any means. This was bad all the way around. Goodbye, Nico. Don't let the door hit you in the ass now. Go Mavericks. We still have hope.
- [38:25]
Ben Berkwam
All right.
- [38:25]
Grant Stitchfield
Turning now to go veterans. This is a group that I am so thankful for. Anybody who served willing to put a flag on their shoulder to go into harm's way to keep me. Free my family. Free all of you. Free my son.
- [38:42]
Philip Patrick
Free.
- [38:44]
Grant Stitchfield
God bless every single one of you. It's not a somber day. Veterans Day. This isn't Memorial Day. This is talking about veterans. This is a day to celebrate our men and women who served in uniform. And President Trump put it like this today at Arlington National Cemetery.
- [39:01]
J.D. Vance
With selfless commitment and unyielding conviction, they made themselves America's ramparts and became the shield between our homeland and those who would do us harm with everything they had. They did one thing above all else. They put America first.
- [39:25]
Grant Stitchfield
They did. And they should be celebrated for that. My father is a Navy veteran, God bless him, and taught me so much about what I know today. And I'm sure he learned much of that in the Navy, including running supply rooms on a destroyer, which taught him about business. To have him have the success that he had without going to college. He owes the Navy a lot on that front. My grandfather was a Marine, served on no name islands in the Pacific Ocean, very far away, Peleliu, Guadalcanal, you name it. And then so many of my friends that were Navy SEALs were Army Rangers in Iraq and Afghanistan and served in those wars. I've got guys at my club, a big thanks that served in Vietnam. I played gin rummy with now, and I'm grateful to every single one of them. If you have a family member, call them up and say thank you today. J.D. vance said this today at Arlington National. So whether you gave a little bit or whether you gave a lot, every single person who put on the uniform.
- [40:32]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
Of this nation deserves our gratitude on this day especially. But every day. And so from the vice president and the entire administration to our nation's veterans.
- [40:41]
Grant Stitchfield
Thank you for your service, thank you.
- [40:43]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
For your sacrifice, and thank you for making us proud every single day.
- [40:48]
Grant Stitchfield
Amen. And thank you to the man who will soon be the 48th president of the United States of America. I do believe that will happen three years from now. So great job, J.D.
- [40:59]
Ben Berkwam
Vance.
- [40:59]
Grant Stitchfield
Great job, President Trump. And great job to all of our veterans and those currently serving at every level with a flag on their shoulder. All right, to bring this segment back full circle, we started with sports. Let's end with a little sports. What do you think about the kickoff in the NFL? This new thing where the race are close to each other, they kick it off. It's got to land in a certain spot. I don't know, I don't love it. Well, President Trump was on Pat McAfee show today. Pat McAfee, man, the guy that does everything from college football, wrestling, announcing, and then this podcast that make it a millions of dollars that airs on ESPN as well. Cut six.
- [41:39]
J.D. Vance
I do have to say, and I'll probably get myself in a little trouble with this. I hate the kickoff.
- [41:45]
Grant Stitchfield
Oh, come on, Mr. President, that's weird.
- [41:48]
J.D. Vance
I think it's so terrible. I think it's so demeaning. And I think it hurts the game, it hurts the pageantry. I've told that to Roger Goodell. He said, and I don't think it's any safer. I mean, you still have guys crashing into each other.
- [42:02]
Grant Stitchfield
It's safer. Football's not supposed to be safe. It's a brutal, manly sport. And I'm not really a fan of the kickoff. It seems kind of weird to me. All right, President Trump plans on using tariff money to give low income Americans $2,000 and lower the national debt. Debt, that is next.

Grant Stitchfield
Well, folks, I'll tell you this. Obamacare is going to be up for debate for a long time. The Democrats did make that a center of conversation. I think where they miscalculated on that is what a disaster Obamacare is this. President Trump came up with this idea.
- [43:18]
J.D. Vance
We're going to issue a dividend to our middle income people and lower income people of about $2,000. And we're going to use the remaining tariffs to lower our debt. We're going to be lowering our debt, which is a national security thing. So we're doing a lot of good work. The numbers were reported so incorrectly. The real numbers are trillions of dollars have been taken in or have got gotten in terms of investment from the tariffs.
- [43:46]
Grant Stitchfield
All right. We're still waiting on a Supreme Court ruling on that as well. So that's up in the air. But what does all of this mean for your investments? I want to talk specifically about precious metals as well, which I still think, as you know, is the place to be right now with everything going on. I want to bring in precious metal specialist for Birch Gold Group, Philip Patrick.
- [44:07]

Eric.
- [44:07]
Grant Stitchfield
Philip, welcome to the program.
- [44:09]
Philip Patrick
Thank you for having me, Grant.
- [44:12]
Ben Berkwam
All right.
- [44:12]
Grant Stitchfield
What do you make of this idea that the tariff money is going to bring down the debt, but we've got a spending battle going on that's going to go through January 30th. My guess is government spending is not going anywhere yet.
- [44:25]
Philip Patrick
Listen, tariff money is great. We didn't have it on the Biden. This is 3, 4, $500 billion we didn't have a year ago. So, so we are edging in the right direction. Is it going to reduce the national debt? Doesn't look like that. We're still running a $2 trillion annual deficit. The tariff revenue looks enough to offset the tax cuts implemented by President Trump, which will obviously help boost the economy. What I don't see them doing anytime soon is closing that $2 trillion deficit. And in order to reduce the national debt, we're going to have to do that. So we'll have to wait and see.
- [45:05]
Dr. Jeff Barkey
All right.
- [45:05]
Grant Stitchfield
If he carries through with his Plan to send middle income folks $2,000. I don't know if it'll be mandated, used for health care or how he's going to do that. But what does that do for for gold? Putting an extra $2,000 in in the pockets of everyday Americans.
- [45:23]
Philip Patrick
What does it do for everyday Americans is the question. I think it's going to help them, right? They've been feeling the squeeze. Even the government shutdown I think cost them 140 bucks a week on, on average. So we're getting hit everywhere. Wages haven't been keeping pace with inflation. So putting money in the pockets of Americans would be a good thing. But what are we doing with the tariff money? Are we paying down the debt or are we giving it to Americans to go out and spend and help bolster? There isn't enough to do both. So it's one or the other. It's going to help families around Christmas. Like I said, it's money we didn't have a year ago. But we got a bigger problem when it comes to the national debt and that I don't see the solution for. On the horizon.
- [46:01]
Grant Stitchfield
Horizon. You and I have talked about central banks around the world buying up gold. Right? And I see that this is still going on. Can you explain to me why they are buying up gold?
- [46:16]
Philip Patrick
Yeah, I'll try and do it quickly. So first of all, they set a new record for the third quarter of this year. This was the single biggest quarter in world history. It beat the previous quarter record by 28%. A lot of motivations for the world. Basically they're looking at our fiscal situation. Debt to GDP over 110%. We're running deficits. The dollar as a long term store of value isn't looking good. Gold and the dollar are directly inverse. So central banks around the world are de dollarizing US dollar holdings are still at 35 year lows. There isn't a better currency than the dollar out there. So they're using gold as a means to de dollarize. It became the number two global reserve asset last year. 20% of global reserve. I want to remind people in the 80s gold constituted 70% of central bank reserves. I think we're heading back to that long term.
- [47:11]
Grant Stitchfield
All right, last question for you because I get this for people when I talk to folks on the street they'll talk to me about Birch Gold and, and my relationship with you guys and Rev. And the number one question I get is well, I'm worried I can't unload it. Once I have it, I can't it's not liquid. What do you tell people who say.
- [47:28]
Philip Patrick
That there's a demand for gold, whether it's central bank, whether it's institutional, it is at all time highs today. Gold is incredibly liquid. People don't think about it. Listen, when you sell a bond, you have to buy, find a buyer for that bond, right? It's the same with gold, but there's always buyers. This is a global market and we're in a period of all time high demand. When clients buy from Birch, it's very simple. You give us a call, you say we need to sell it and Burt's Gold group are here to buy it back. So we make it very easy. But even without us, it's easy to sell gold anywhere in the United States and globally.
- [48:04]
Grant Stitchfield
I appreciate the the info on that. Let me tell people how they can find you and your team. Philip Patrick, as always, thanks for coming on. Here's what I want you to do, folks. Text America to the number 989-898. You'll get a free info kit on gold. They're great folks over there, great patriots. They think like us. If there's a gold company to to go with, you got to check out Birch Gold. Again, text America to the number 989-898.
- [48:29]
Philip Patrick
All right.

Grant Stitchfield
Democrats ill in Illinois love to cry racism. Well, all the Democrats do. We'll talk about that next. This is the story of the 1. As a maintenance supervisor at a manufacturing.
- [48:47]
Ben Berkwam
Facility, he knows keeping the line up and running is a top priority.
- [48:51]
Grant Stitchfield

For the ones who get it done.

Grant Stitchfield
Well, you know, Democrats always hate when I use the term illegal aliens, but that's actually a legal term. And that is what they are. They're not undocumented immigrants. They're not unhoused homeless people as they like to say. These people are illegal aliens. But the Democrat in Illinois, he's a member of the state House there don't like us, you see in that name. And by answering that question with.
- [49:51]
Ben Berkwam
Telling.
- [49:51]
Grant Stitchfield
You I don't believe anyone is an illegal alien.
- [49:56]
Ben Berkwam
That's a terrible term to use about anyone. It's illegal. It's a legal term. It's not a legal term.
- [50:02]
Grant Stitchfield
They used to call black people slaves. Legally. Well, if you're a slave, you would still call you a slave, right? Like, there's slaves that are in sweat houses all across America that actually exists. We'd still call them slaves. They are most certainly illegal aliens, and that is illegal. I'm telling you, folks, these Democrats are dumb. They really are not well schooled.
