Episode Overview

In this news-packed episode, Grant Stinchfield delves into recent mass shootings in Australia and at Brown University, focusing on what he frames as the failures of "leftist leadership," gun-free zones, and the consequences of gun control policy. The episode also features interviews and discussions with AWR Hawkins (Breitbart), Robert Spencer (Jihad Watch), Dr. John Lott (Crime Prevention Research Center), legal analyst Dunham Biles, and pollster Rich Barris. Topics span from campus and international violence, to gun policy debates, radical ideology, election prospects, AI liability in crime, and contemporary voter apathy.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

Mass Shootings in Australia & Rhode Island: Failures of Policy and Leadership

Timestamps: 01:54 – 07:57

• Stinchfield opens by calling the recent violence a symptom of "failed leftist leadership," specifically critiquing gun control and immigration policies.
• Highlights the Bondi Beach attack in Australia (15 dead, 29 injured) and a shooting at Brown University (2 dead, 9 injured), drawing connections to Islamic terrorism and anti-Semitic motives.
• Expresses skepticism about mainstream media coverage, particularly in referencing whether the Brown shooting targeted a Judeo studies class or was an anti-Republican attack.
• Strongly blames university administration for lack of transparency and security, noting Brown’s $71,000 yearly tuition and yet "no real security, no cops."
• Critiques the ineffectiveness of camera surveillance and gun-free zones.

"All of this paints a picture. So $71,000 a year, you can't put security at least in the building... and really I would allow professors and students to carry."
— Grant Stinchfield (05:27)

Gun Control Debate and Second Amendment Advocacy

With AWR Hawkins (Breitbart)
Timestamps: 09:05 – 13:16

• Hawkins critiques Brown University’s strict gun-free policy, stating: "If you have a concealed carry permit... you still must be defenseless on campus."
• Asserts the importance of campus carry laws for student safety and criticizes institutions disallowing it.
• Discusses media misconceptions about firearms and accessories (like laser sights), mocking coverage that portrays them as "special forces" gear rather than commonplace tools.

"If you had somebody in that classroom that was carrying, lives would have been saved."
— Grant Stinchfield (10:33)

"You have to zero that site the same way you zero a scope... this guy doesn't know a laser sight from a bottle of champagne."
— AWR Hawkins (12:58)

Islamic Extremism, Immigration, and Societal Debate

With Robert Spencer (Jihad Watch)
Timestamps: 16:21 – 20:45

• The episode delves into motives behind the Australian attack, referencing witness testimony and a rabbi’s anger about recalcitrant political leadership.
• Airs a scholar’s unapologetic endorsement of jihad, exploring the link between religious doctrine, radicalism, and attacks.
• Spencer unequivocally links core Islamic texts with motivation for violent acts but maintains not all Muslims act in this way.
• Advocates for closer scrutiny of immigrants' beliefs and enforcement of deportation for extremism.

"It's not nuts, though. That's the Quran... It says in there that Allah prefers those who go and risk their lives and fight in the cause of Allah."
— Robert Spencer (16:40)

"When you bring over people who are screaming 'Allahu Akbar,' then you are bringing over people who think that their religion is superior to yours."
— Robert Spencer (19:25)

Media, Statistics, and the Gun Violence Narrative

With Dr. John Lott (Crime Prevention Research Center)
Timestamps: 21:49 – 27:29

• Dr. Lott debunks oft-cited school shooting statistics, noting that most media-reported "school shootings" involve accidents or gang incidents, not mass shootings as popularly defined.
• Provides comparative per-capita data showing the U.S. is not uniquely plagued when adjusting for population.
• Emphasizes "gun-free zones" as targets for shooters seeking unarmed victims, and the media’s refusal to interrogate the reasons shooters choose these locations.

"Since 2000, there have been nine mass public school shootings in the United States... If you adjust [for population], Germany would be equivalent to twelve, Finland 120."
— Dr. John Lott (22:06)

"The media refuses, absolutely refuses to cover those parts of their diaries and manifestos."
— Dr. John Lott (25:31)

2028 Election Speculation & Polling Landscape

With Rich Barris (Big Data Poll)
Timestamps: 31:57 – 36:49

• Stinchfield tees up Kamala Harris as a potential Democratic nominee for 2028, asking if this is beneficial to Republicans.
• Barris explains Harris leads due to name recognition and strong nonwhite support; Gavin Newsom is seen as weak and unpopular with key Democratic demographics.
• Discusses GOP and Democrat voter engagement, warning Republicans of complacency and the need to mobilize their new, broader coalition.

"She's the only one at the moment with any significant nonwhite support. So that's why she's leading..."
— Rich Barris (32:08)

"If we have an apathy problem, then I guess I'm going to have to ramp it up."
— Grant Stinchfield (36:28)

AI and Legal Responsibility in Crime

With Dunham Biles (Litigation Attorney)
Timestamps: 39:16 – 46:18

• Discusses a Connecticut murder where OpenAI’s ChatGPT is being blamed in a lawsuit for allegedly exacerbating the perpetrator's delusions.
• Biles explains the legal challenge: proving AI "substantially contributed" to the crime without exonerating individual responsibility.
• Concerns raised about AI’s influence on troubled users, with comparisons to cult-like radicalization.
• Debates where the line is drawn between user autonomy and technology’s impact, noting parallels to lawsuits targeting gun manufacturers.

"If we start suing AI for every bad thing somebody does, why aren't we suing Google when someone learns how to make a bomb by googling it?"
— Grant Stinchfield (42:53)

"We tend to believe in the genius of AI and we trust computers... but we put too much faith in them."
— Dunham Biles (42:54)

Personal Health Segment: Heart Health and Energized Health

— John Jubilee (49:02)

— President Donald Trump (52:27)
