Sarah (AMPM Ad)
What do you think makes the perfect snack?
Grant Stinchfield
Hmm, it's gotta be when I'm really craving it and it's convenient.
Sarah (AMPM Ad)
Could you be more specific?
Ben Berkram
When it's cravenient.
Grant Stinchfield
Okay, like a freshly baked cookie made with real butter, available right down the street at am, pm. Or a savory breakfast sandwich I can grab in just a second at a.m. pM.
Steve Toth
I'm seeing a pattern here.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, yeah, we're talking about what I.
Sarah (AMPM Ad)
Crave, which is anything from am, pm.
Ben Berkram
What more could you want?
AMPM Ad Voice
Stop by AM pm where the snacks and drinks are perfectly craveable and convenient. That's cravinience. Am pm. Too much. Good stuff.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. I want to activate Stinchfield's army to put the pressure on members of Congress to issue a total ban on stock trading. No members of Congress should be trading stocks anymore. The reason? They just can't be trusted. There's going to be no way to figure out how they're insider trading or not insider trading. So I've come to the conclusion we just have to issue a ban. Now Congress once again is taking up this issue. They're going to hold hearings after hearings. It'll never get passed. You know why it'll never get passed? Because members of Congress are getting rich on inside information. The United States Capitol is home to the largest insider trading scheme in the history of America, probably the world. Do you know members of Congress average 600% returns on their investments? 600%? No retail investor averages 600% of the. Okay, now that's impossible. Tim Burchett, our friend from Tennessee, is out in the front of this.
Chip Roy
We're in committee meetings. We hear things before y' all do. We can make those. Those connections. When you see a member of this body making four or five, 600 trades a year, you know something's wrong.
Grant Stinchfield
Of course there is. Now again, Congress isn't going to take up the issue because too many of them are getting rich right now. You know, we use Nancy Pelosi as the example all the time. Do you know Nancy Pelosi. Her rate of return since she got into Congress is 16,000%. Since she entered Congress, she came in with $785,000. She now has amassed $133 million stock portfolio. Nancy Pelosi. And she doesn't even make the top 10 folks. She's only the most high profile of the bunch. So let this sink in here.
Chip Roy
This thing ain't gonna pass. If we're gonna pass something in the House and then guess what? The Senate will either one not take it up or they'll come back in righteous indignation and say, oh, we need to make this stronger, something totally ridiculous, and they'll send it back to us. This is a scam. That's, that's, that's being played on the American public and it needs to stop. Let's quit with this nonsense. Let's give America a reason to trust Congress for once in our miserable lives.
Grant Stinchfield
You know, at the beginning of the Tea party movement in 2011 into 2012, I ran for Congress against a Republican incumbent in a Republican primary. Obviously I lost. I'm here talking to you. But I called into question his wild gains. He like double, tripled, quadrupled his net worth while he was in Congress. Much of the pressure that we put on during that campaign ended up leading to this stock act, the stock act of 2012. Let me tell you something, what a joke this thing is. It needs to be repealed, totally overhauled, and then the ban instituted. It has no teeth. There is no oversight except a group inside Congress where they regulate themselves. You have to self report. And if you are caught breaking the Stock act, you know what it is? A $200 fine. 200 bucks. Some of these people make six figure gains on their stock trades. Of course they'll pay the 200 bucks. No big deal. They will then have family members trade for them or they'll use what they call a blind trust. But the reality is, there's nothing blind about it. Listen to this story.
Chris Josephs
And on February 13, 2020, as we're heading into the COVID pandemic, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee called his stockbroker and sold all but one equity in his entire portfolio for a tune of $1.6 million. If you're the chair of the Intelligence Committee, almost by definition you have information that's not available to the public.
Grant Stinchfield
I would love to know what the one stock was that he held. AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson. I don't know, was it a vaccine company? I would love to know how Many of my Republican friends that jo join me in crowing about the vaccine and the overreach. How many of them bought vaccine stocks during COVID It would be interesting to see because this is not a Democrat or Republican problem. This is a congressional problem from both sides of the aisle. Democrat Susie Lee, I saw this news report on her ago. We saw Representative Susie Lee buy stock in a company called Rhinemetal, which is a German defense contractor, which, I mean, that rang a long bell's press because it's like it was a stock we hadn't really seen any members trade before. And it's obviously very tied into US Defense policy. Looks like they're doing a lot of work with the army lately, Hank.
Steve Toth
Modernization.
Grant Stinchfield
I bet there's big money in that. Suzy Lee sat on a committee on military construction. And since then, the stocks are like, I think 250%. I should have bought stock in that company, but I couldn't because I had no idea that that contract was coming. You see the conflict of interest here, and you go to Washington, you're supposed to be working for the people, not profiting off the. You're getting there. In Washington, to me, it is all quite offensive. And again, it's Republicans and Democrats. In fact, I have a friend up there. He's making ogles of money, and I bust his chops all the time about it. And only because he's my friend, I won't name him as of now, but millions of dollars. So again, this comes from all sides now. With me now is the founder of Autopilot, a trading app which allows users to track the portfolios of politicians and top investors. We've spoken to him before. Chris Josephs is back with us. Chris, welcome back to the program.
General Michael Flynn
Thank you.
Chris Josephs
And what a. What a good summary of how you just described that entire kind of ecosystem. It's funny, every time you hear it, it's like it just.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, did we lose Chris there for a second? We may have. We lost Chris. So here's the thing about Autopilot, which is a fabulous platform, by the way, and you can let it trade by following these lawmakers. But here's the thing. If you ban traders from. Excuse traders. That's what they are. If you ban members of Congress from trading, do we put Autopilot out of business? How are we doing? We're getting him back up and running. Not yet. Okay, so let me. Let me do this. This is Jack Citarelli. He was running for governor of New Jersey. Cittarelli was. And he calls out Mikey Sherrill, who was a member of Congress. Listen to this. Cut seven. There's another big difference between her public service and my public service. It actually cost me money, the time I put in and took away from my company. In the seven years that she's been in Congress, she's tripled her net worth. There's another big difference between the two of us, okay? She broke the law. She had to pay fines for violating federal law on stock trades and stock reporting. And the New York Times reports that while you're sitting on the House Armed Services Committee, you were trading defense stocks. So she paid the fine. She made 250% on a. On a stock, maybe. I don't know what the numbers are. And you pay $200. That's the fines I want to bring back in. Chris Joseph, the founder of Autopilot. Chris, welcome back. I want to ask you, if we put a total ban in, which is what I'm calling for, for members of Congress, does that put Autopilot out of business now?
Chris Josephs
Honestly, it doesn't at all. We actually have a lot more coming than just even the politicians. We built a way for, like, stock picking to be made simple for the masses. So instead of having the majority of people go in and pick stocks on their own, they can go onto our platform, find a stock picker that they resonate with, and then have them make the stock picks for them. It just so happens that the best stock picker on the platform and the other stock pickers on the platform are all representatives in Congress. Like, we didn't expect it to be Nancy Pelosi, but she is. And that's the fact. That's the truth of the performance that we've been tracking. So Autopilot will be fine. And let me kind of reiterate what I was saying, and I completely agree with you. From the start, we have been in a support of a full ban. We think it should happen. We think it's ridiculous that they're allowed to do it. And we kind of started it as a way to bring. To bring more awareness to the issue. And we're happy that it's worked. But, you know, I'd be happy to retire the Pelosi tracker and get back to my normal life.
Grant Stinchfield
Chris, what I love about your company is that you guys were so angered by the audacity of these members of Congress getting rich up there, and you figured out a way, you know, what, if they're going to get rich, then we can, too. Was that basically the thought process?
Chris Josephs
Yeah, pretty much. I Mean, it started in 2020 when I think the majority of Americans out there didn't even know it was legal, didn't even know they were doing it. We saw it on Twitter and then we started seeing like all the signs happening. It's like, well, not only are they buying stocks, there's policies that they're passing that are benefiting the stocks they just bought. And then you start seeing them all getting rich. And it's like, all right, well you know, like if they're going to do it right in front of our very eyes, let's build a way. I'm sorry, I can't say that.
Steve Toth
All right.
Grant Stinchfield
No, you can't. We do go over air. The fcc, a big apologies to you. We don't have a bleeper machine. But. But I totally agree with what you say. Okay there. But again, apologies to the fcc. So look, thank you. So here's the deal. Nancy Pelosi is the face of all of this. There are others making lots of money. Let me play a clip from you. It's for you. It's a throwback of Nancy Pelosi, but it gives you a little insight into her mindset.
Chris Josephs
Congress and their spouses be banned from trading individual stocks while serving Congress?
Grant Stinchfield
No, I don't know to the second one any. We have a responsibility to report in the stock, on the stock. But I don't, I'm not familiar with that five month review. But if people aren't reporting, they should be because this is a free market and people, we have a free market economy, they should be able to participate in that. My favorite part of this is this radical liberal who never has supported a free market economy. Now is the big Milton Friedman of the United States Congress. Chris.
Chris Josephs
That is perfectly summarized just how hypocritical the whole thing is because it's not only is like everyone asking and saying like hey, you kind of doing this right in front of our very fit eyes. Nancy Pelosi can get behind the podium and say something like that with a straight face. Meanwhile there are, you know, then a lowly analyst at JP Morgan, 23 years old, just out of college, he can't trade individual stocks. There are journalists that work at the Wall Street Journal that can't trade individual stocks. It's a free economy for them as well. But why are they not allowed to do it? Meanwhile, you have the third most powerful person in America being able to do whatever she wants.
Grant Stinchfield
Last question for you. This is not just Democrats, plenty of Republicans on your tracker, is that correct, Chris?
Chris Josephs
Yeah, we actually have more Republicans than Democrats. I mean, we got Dan Crenshaw, we got Marjorie Taylor Greene. We have Rob Bresnahan, we have Tim Moore. This is a perfect definition of a bipartisan issue. And it is not just her, it is not just Republicans. It's them all doing it. And hopefully this ban can actually pass. We'll see how much momentum will continue with it.
Grant Stinchfield
But, well, of all the stories that I do, I get asked more, including up to this day, I'll be walking around in my gym if people will say, hey, that stock tracker app you had on tell people where they can find Autopilot.
Chris Josephs
They can find us on the website. Join autopilot.com you can search us in the App Store by just searching AutoPilot. We're on iOS and Android, and if you guys don't want to necessarily download an app, you can go follow us on social media. We post all this very blatantly open to the public on Instagram and Twitter because we don't believe it should just be kind of segregated into an app. We should get as many eyeballs on this as possible to try and get this band through.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, it's great stuff. Good job as always. Chris Joseph, thank you for coming on the program tonight. Thank you. You know, the technical problems is probably Big Brother shutting it down. They don't want us talking about this. Right. All right, I want to go and continue with more bad behavior from members of Congress. This is a theme. Oftentimes the show takes takes on a theme. Democrat bad behavior is the theme tonight. You know, you have Democrats that are calling for our United States military to actively disobey lawful orders from the commander in chief. Now, President Trump retruth this today. This is the, the George Washington truth. If you could throw that up there. Okay, guys, this is what he retruth. Hang them. George Washington would. Well, as you can imagine, folks, the democrats went into 100% meltdown mode. Let's be crystal clear. The president of the United States is calling for the execution of elected officials. This is an outright threat and it's deadly serious. We have already seen what happens when Donald Trump tells his followers that his political opponents are enemies of the state. Every time Donald Trump posts things like, I really don't care what Chuck Schumer has to say about it because it's the most hypocritical thing going. You know, what's dangerous is having a military that disobeys orders. You'll get people killed if that happens. Now, President Trump also truthed out this quote it's called seditious behavior at the highest level. Each one of these traitors to our country should be arrested and put on trial. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. We won't have a country anymore. An example must be set. President DONALD J. Trump. No, thank you for your attention to this matter. I like when he adds that to the end of this. But as a little reminder, this is what those veteran Democrats said.
General Michael Flynn
We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community.
Steve Toth
Who take risks each day to keep Americans safe.
Grant Stinchfield
We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
Sarah (AMPM Ad)
Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk.
General Michael Flynn
This administration is pitting our uniform military.
Steve Toth
And intelligence community professionals against American citizens.
Grant Stinchfield
So they can't defend themselves with this because it's indefensible. And I want to bring in now former national Security adviser to President Trump. General Michael Flynn is on with us tonight. General, it's always good to see you.
General Michael Flynn
Great to see you, Grant. Really appreciate you having me on.
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely. I appreciate you coming on, General. And I have to get you a response. Look, President Trump used some very harsh words here. Do I think he actually wants to hang these people? No. But I do think that what they're asking you to do is seditious behavior, General.
General Michael Flynn
Yeah. I mean, you know, first of all, and Chris Smith, Senator Chris Smith from Connecticut, if anybody wants to go see what, you know, just how crazy these people are, go look at his response as well. It's just, it's unbelievable. But first of all, all of these people served in some capacity in the military, or that one officer, the one member there served in the CIA. This actually seemed to me, when I first saw, was less about the military, Grant, than it was about the intel community. And I think that there's an element here inside the intelligence community. And Tulsi Gabbard has been a terrific. And in fact, one of the reasons why the head of the National Security Agency and the deputy National Security Agency director were fired about four or five months ago, because inside of these organizations, inside of these big agencies, you know, and I always remind people that 70% of the intelligence community is inside of the Department of War, that she, she got rid of them because of subversion inside of the National Security Agency to the tune of about a thousand people. So we know that inside the CIA, it's the same thing inside of some of these other, you know, National Geospatial Agency, never mind just inside of some of the. Of the different military. But if any of these people that did serve in the military, you know, and the ones that spoke out in Congress, if any of them are still holding a commission, they should be told that they have to resign their commission and they ought to be brought up on charges. I mean, this was so bad. You know, people in the military know you don't, you know, you don't follow. You don't have to follow an illegal, an immoral or an unethical order. We know that. We know that from the very beginning, whether you're a private or whether you're a lieutenant, you're taught that at the very beginning. So everybody knows that these people are actually calling for subversion and frankly, treason or sedition inside of our military.
Grant Stinchfield
General, let me go back to what you said about. You think they were really targeting the intel community. Nobody knows the intel community better than General Michael Flynn does. What do you think their goal was? What are they concerned? Who are they actually talking to inside this community? Are they trying to change behavior of some kind of.
General Michael Flynn
Yeah, this is important, Grant. This is really important here, folks, because there are elements inside of the administration, inside of the executive branch of the administration, principally in the United States intelligence community. And I know this factually because we've caught a bunch of them and we've got whistleblowers out on some of them. But these are. This is the intelligence community. That's why it was interesting when we heard the members. And then all of a sudden the one popped up who was a former CIA officer. And it made me wonder. I was like, what the hell? You know, okay, so they're former members of the military. They're. They're griping about whatever, and they are. They actually are really hurting our military more than they know, believe me, because there's people in the military that are still under the wokeism of the last administration. But the. But when I saw the CIA former CIA officer, I was like, huh, this is interesting. So now I know that inside of the US Intelligence community and Tulsi Gabbard has her hands full, believe me, she's doing all that she can, but. And she's still in the midst. Her and Secretary of War Pete Hagseth are both. They are the ones responsible for. Is basically running the largest part of the intelligence community. The FBI has a segment of it. Department of State has a segment of it, but the biggest chunk is the Department of War and of course then the CIA. So this is really where this is coming from. And it's the CIA that to me, and I'm going to run on the record here, Buddy, the CIA and elements in the US Intelligence community are still undermining this administration in a big, big way. I don't think that the President of the United States is getting fully informed as to what is actually going on around the world. And right here at home, he's got great people at the leadership level that can inform him. But if they're not being informed by the, you know, at the right level and with the right information and asking the right questions, then we're in trouble here. But this. These elements, these people that came out and said these things, this is clearly. Clearly, this is a sort of parroting of what it is that the left wants to, you know, sort of propagandize across the American society here. And to me, this is a big problem because these are not just. These are not a couple of representatives. This is like across the board, inside of our. Inside of the left in Congress, and clearly those that are still serving inside of our executive branch of this government, particularly inside of the US Intelligence community.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, it's interesting when you bring up this connection, it almost reminds me of the 51 spies letter that tried to debunk the Hunter Biden laptop. Right? They get a whole bunch of people and they spew this nonsense, and they get the media to try to pick up on it. This is almost the same operation, only it's on video, not a letter. Last word, General.
General Michael Flynn
Yeah, no, I do think that there's a connection here. I don't think that this is universal in our. In our military troop, you know, our troops. Right. There's a lot of good men and women serving in our military. I have a. I have a really bad feeling. And the only reason I have it, and it's just total gut at this point was when that congresswoman from the CIA, former CIA, is like, what is going on here? This is not the Department of War and, you know, infantrymen and men and women serving at the. At the brass, tax level of our military. This is something different. And I actually think that this is coming out of the U.S. intelligence community. And to me, this is where Tulsi Gabbard really has her hands full, because I think she's doing all that she can, but she's being undermined. Trust me.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, I know for a fact that people are listening to you and your assessment of all of this, and so I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for you coming on the program, as always, General. And it's good to see you, my friend. Thank you. Absolutely.
General Michael Flynn
Grant, thank you.
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely fascinating stuff. When you think about what he's talking about there, that the president may not be getting the information he needs to make national security decisions. It doesn't get any more dangerous than that. And then you look at the connection that could these, these congressmen, members of congress, be connected to a subversion inside the intelligence community, not just the intel community? When you talk about sedition, I don't know how else to describe it. President Trump is spot on. All right, folks, listen to me.

Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back, everyone. So members of Congress are finally doing what I've been urging them to do, and that is investigate the United States Census Bureau and their counting of illegal aliens, which goes back a long, long time. But they did this in 2020. The latest census and all the evidence now shows that they counted illegal aliens, basically giving a huge leg up to blue states because the blue states overloaded themselves with illegals. And you know what is used to not Only count the population, but that's what determines how many members of Congress you get. Here's Chip Roy. The leading study found that if congressional seats were properly apportioned based on the number of citizens, Republican states would gain between 10 and 12 seats in the House of Representatives and votes in the Electoral College. That's right. Illegal aliens and non citizens have at least 10 seats in the US House of Representatives and the Electoral College. And that was before Biden administration's policies welcomed 10 million more illegal aliens into our country. Of course. Where do you think all the illegals go? Certainly we have our fair share in red Texas, but they hightail it out of here. They go to states like North Carolina, California, Minneapolis, Illinois, New York. They load up these blue states and then they get more members of Congress. It gets even worse than what Chip Roy was talking about. This was an expert witness that testified.
Chip Roy
Studies since the 2020 census have confirmed the that this is exactly what differential privacy does.
Grant Stinchfield
It adds fake people to where they.
Chip Roy
Do not live and subtracts real people from where they do live. Thus all of the reported enumeration Census data from 2020 below the state level is false.
Grant Stinchfield
So apparently they were using private data that was skewed. That's what he's talking about there. Giving again the benefit to Democrats. Do you see how they rigged the system? And I don't know what it is with Republicans that we've been eyes wide open all of this and we never do anything about it. It's time to get some cojones and start putting a stop to all of this because we almost lost our country. Thankfully President Trump got it back for us. Now I want to turn to Charlotte, North Carolina, where that is ground zero for Charlotte's web. This unbelievably terrific operation to clean up the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina of very violent criminals that include illegal alien aliens. I believe the number now is like 250 of them have been scooped up. The mayor pro Tem in Charlotte is not happy about it. Grassroots organizations to make sure that residents understand their rights and to indeed try to garner as much information as we can by using our residents as our eyes and ears. But we are left with no information, with no direction. And it's unsettling. It continues to be unsettling. They're whining and moaning about not getting information about where these raids are taking place. Why would they tell you? You dox the ICE agents putting them in great harm. These activists, AKA rioters are dangerous. This is Greg Bevino with Homeland Security. The level of violence that we're seeing is unprecedented. Just today we had border patrol agents rammed by a vehicle, actually rammed twice by a vehicle. And a 4,000 pound missile like that is not a fun thing to go up against. Nor gunshots, physical assaults and many other things.
General Michael Flynn
So.
Grant Stinchfield
We need to be arresting these people and putting them in prison for a long time. Okay. They're not only endangering the lives of the officers who are trying to conduct operations, but they're endangering the lives of the entire citizenry around them. I want to bring in now RAV correspondent Ben Berkwam who has been on this case for a very long time. Ben, welcome back.
Ben Berkram
Thank you, Grant. Great to be with you.
Grant Stinchfield
Ben, talk to me about what happens when these ICE agents gets, gets docked. You just showed me video that you sent where the media was helping docs these, these people. But what is that like for agents? Explain to me the dangers.
Ben Berkram
Well, for one, it's everywhere they go now. You have organizations, these rapid response networks who are being colluded with by mayors and mayor pro tems like the one you just saw there, who are actively obstructing ice. You've got illegal aliens in these communities that are being protected by criminal elements in their own community. And really this is generations that have got us to this point, because now you have anchor babies, kids. You saw these kids, 30,000 kids marching out of classes in Charlotte to protest this. Well, many of them are illegals themselves or their parents are illegals themselves. This is what happens when you undermine a country from within, when you don't have the rule of law, when you don't have border security, you no longer have a country. And we're seeing that taking place in every city across America. And you go back to that census, why the Democrats pushed so hard to have illegals on that census. And it's not just blue states, it's red states, but blue cities and blue districts where they can take votes from Republicans and give them to Democrats. So we have an entire system now that has been undermined by the left. They're working to harbor illegal aliens and hurt ISIS operations to be able to go after these really bad guys in every community, whether that's here in California or out in North Carolina. And every single one, as you mentioned, every single one of those politicians or any of these activists need to be arrested when they are caught obstructing ICE operations.
Grant Stinchfield
It's amazing to me that they even get the leeway that they do. You know, I was told that in Charlotte the number then grew to 30,000 students that didn't show up to school. The Democrats want to claim that they're all for the well being of these illegal aliens and all this. Well, it's their fear mongering that are calling these kids not to go to school. Because I talked to border patrol agents, they said they are doing everything they can not to go into schools. If there was a dangerous felon and that's the only place they could get them, then they may, but they even then they try not to take that person down in a school. Ben.
Ben Berkram
Yeah, and look, I ride with ICE all over the country and you wouldn't believe I mean the conversations we have in the cars even to avoid driving past schools, this is even getting to the places. So what's having to go into the mindset of ICE officers and border patrol officers as they're going after the worst of the worst. I mean some of these guys who are terrorists, they're literal terrorists, but many of them have rap sheets you can't even imagine. They're child rapists, they're murderers, they're all the entire gamut. And beyond that, they're here illegally. So I don't even care if you have any charges. They all need to be picked up at this point. They all need to go home. But ICE does everything they possibly can to avoid schools, to avoid even driving past them on their way to where they're going. So anyone who's saying that they're intentionally going after schools, the only time, as you mentioned, the only time they end up at a school is if an illegal alien is using it, trying to hide or using it to harbor a school's trying to harbor an illegal alien. That's the only time they show up there. But they avoid them as much as they can.
Grant Stinchfield
Let me also play you a clip of. In my. In many respects I think it's the delusion of people in blue cities that don't understand what is at stake. This is a business owner complaining about the ICE roundups. Roll that clip.

We have shut down. We are an ice cream shop that 80%, 90% of our customers are Latino. As of right now, I cannot take the risk to bring my employees to be profiled because a lot of them speak Spanish. They look like me. I look like the profile that they're looking for.
Grant Stinchfield
First off, it's November. Maybe nobody's getting ice cream because it's November. But the other side of that is the only reason you wouldn't have to have employees come to work is if they too are illegal. And then that means the business owner broke the law as well. If that's the case. Ben.
Ben Berkram
That's right. This is so important until we start arresting the owners of these businesses who are hiring illegals, who are basically providing slave wages for them, who have taken advantage of the system. And this isn't just Democrats, Republicans. This is what President Trump. Why President Trump was such a breath of fresh air. He actually went up against the chambers of commerce who wanted the cheap illegal alien workforce, basically slave labor. And that's exactly what you're seeing now. All of these businesses shutting down is basically, I saw a sheriff come out and say, if you're shutting down now because ICE is coming through your community, it looks like you're guilty. And that's exactly what it does. If you're shutting down, it's because we know you've got illegal aliens there. You can play the victim card. Oh, we might look like. We might look like. Everybody knows, unless you're an idiot, only illegal aliens are being deported. American citizens aren't being deported if you're here. If you're here legally, you're not getting deported. So if you're shutting down, it's because, you know you got illegals working there.
Grant Stinchfield
I'm still waiting for that one American citizen to be deported. And I'm yet to find one. And yet that's all they about. Ben Berkram, as always at Ben Berkwom on X. Thank you, buddy. As always.

Welcome back, everyone. We continue the theme tonight with Democrat bad behavior. This time, representative Sheila Chelfilis McCormick. She has hired a communication strategist, a crisis manager, because apparently she is now being accused of embezzling FEMA funds to the tune of 5 million. This is from a local news report. I also wanted to ask you about the investigation into your families, but this.
General Michael Flynn
Is also part of her congressional duties.
Grant Stinchfield
Congresswoman, you know you're under investigation for.
General Michael Flynn
The congressional ethics for violation of campaign finances. Congresswoman, this is your district. You have to answer to these people.
Grant Stinchfield
She needs to hire a crisis communications manager. Does she think it's a good idea to hold up a binder in front of the. Like that's going to work. These people are so dumb. $5 million. She's accused of stealing FEMA funds. Okay, amazing. Then we turn to bad behavior from a Republican, Dan Crenshaw, who basically is always engaging in bad behavior. I never really like this guy. I'll be open and honest about that. Apparently, according to Punchbowl News, he was banned by Republican leadership to go into Mexico on a congressional delegation trip. Well, Dan Crenshaw says that story is totally bogus and the trip was canceled. And la da da da da. No big deal. Okay, well, it just goes to show you that people don't like him, which is why they're filing stories like this, whether it's true or not. He's also taken a lot of heat for this. Playing DJ in his office with a bunch of booze around and people dancing. Okay, that's not the worst of behavior. But you know what is bad behavior? When you are caught on a hot mic, basically telling the host that you'll kill Tucker Carlson if you ever see him.
General Michael Flynn
Have you ever met Tucker?
Grant Stinchfield
We've talked a lot on Twitter. You know, he's a Navy seal. I'm sure Dan Crenshaw could kick my. You know what? But if we ever did like cage match, like for charity, I'd go into the squared circle with him. I'd get my butt kicked, I'm sure. But man, oh man, he's just not a nice guy. Remember when he tried to kick that, Kick that other reporter and trip him up? Where's going, dude? We don't want it anymore.
General Michael Flynn
Oh, assault.
Grant Stinchfield
I just witnessed it. You got that on camera. You don't like asking questions, so he tries to trip you. Well, lo and behold, he's got a primary challenger and I love it. Republican Texas state representative. That primary challenger is also a great friend of this program. Representative Steve Toth is with us. Steve, welcome back to the show.
Steve Toth
Thanks, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
All right. What do you make of all the kerfuffle surrounding Dan Crenshaw?
Steve Toth
Well, too much attention is being put on this three month travel ban. What people have to start asking themselves is why is it that he's been removed from a subcommittee for cause? Why is the subcommittee that he ran being disbanded for cause? You don't get kicked off a subcommittee for having one too many drinks is some suggest you don't get kicked off a subcommittee for laughing at an off color joke about women, which some people have said that that's what this is about. No, you get removed for cause because you're on a subcommittee that deals with foreign intelligence and you probably got ripped drunk and you shared something with the Mexican government and government officials that you weren't supposed to share. And so his whole committee was disbanded for cause.
Grant Stinchfield
It's quite stunning, really. And it all fits the theme of this program. The beginning, we were talking about the Stock act and I believe Dan Crenshaw has some issues there as well with, with making wild gains in side Congress. You've got the woman I just mentioned before, she's a Democrat. But this is why we need make America great again. Conservatives going up to Washington. And I think what people don't know is the battle for Congress is often fought in the primaries. That's where you really get to choose your congressman. Especially in a Republican district like yours, Steve.
General Michael Flynn
Correct.
Steve Toth
I mean, this is what it's really, it's all about where. This is where Republicans come to you, the voter, and say, I want the opportunity to work for you. I want to be hired for you by you. I was endorsed by President Trump in 2022 and 2024. One of the most conservative Members of the Texas House. And I've proven that I can't be bought, and I'm not going to be bought.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. And that's Dan Crenshaw's problem. Plus the fact he's just an unlike guy. He's not nice. What's the first thing you do? You go to Washington. What's the first thing that happens?
Steve Toth
Very first thing I'm going to support is legislation that's going to stop the insider trading by these congressmen. And he's made a big deal about the fact that he hasn't made any money, when the reality is that on his personal financial statement, he has to record this. They have to record all of their trades. And we've heard over and over again from people that Dan is making a lot of money trading stock with inside information that he's not. That you or I would be, you know, be thrown in jail for if we ever divulged anyone. I don't have stock in the. I'm not in the market. I look at. I serve on the Appropriations Committee for three sessions, and my wife and I got out of the market for that very simple reason that you want to avoid the appearance of evil. Because what if my mutual fund or stock that I did trade and something became apparent that in some way, shape or form, I had information. No, you just want to completely stay out of the market. You have to make a decision, do I want to serve the American people or do I want to serve myself to get richer? And that's what these guys are not willing to do.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. Do you believe a complete ban is the only way to go?
Steve Toth
It absolutely is the only way to go. You should absolutely be banned from trading. Look, plenty of lawmakers have admitted we have access to information that the general public does not have, and it puts. It puts lawmakers at an unfair advantage.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. Steve Toth, I wish you the best of luck in your race against Dan Crenshaw. Why don't you tell people where they could find you and throw some. Throw some money in the tip jar if they're out of state. Maybe help you out if they're near the district.
Steve Toth

General Michael Flynn
All right.
Grant Stinchfield
Sounds good, my friend. Good luck to you and we'll talk again soon, I'm sure.

God bless.

All right, you, too. All right, folks. Championship NBA player Michael Porter Jr. Okay. He's in trouble for speaking the truth. Well, go figure. His nickname is Maga Porter Jr. We'll talk about my new favorite NBA player. Next.

Welcome back, everyone. As you know, the NBA is filled with a bunch of whining liberals, quite frankly. Now I'm an NBA fan. Mavs are my team. Luka Doncic is still my favorite NBA player, even though he plays for the Lakers now. But I have a number two in the league and he goes by the nickname Maga Porter Jr. Yes, Michael Porter Jr. Is my guy. Why? Because he's outspoken. He seems to have common sense and the league and his team, the Brooklyn Nets, are not happy with him. But that makes me happy with him. Listen to what the Nets told him.
Michael Porter Jr.
You know, that they would, they would appreciate if I stayed clear of certain topics. You know what I mean? That's why the WNBA thing, like that's just a topic that kind of is so sensitive nowadays, you know, just so I try to be just aware of that. But you know, for y', all, I'll pull up or like mellow, but for the most part, I'm chilling. I'm not trying to say nothing crazy no more.
Grant Stinchfield
So the Brooklyn Nets are trying to silence him now. This is the league where they kneel for the national anthem. They embrace the Black Lives Matter movement. And you want to know what he said about the wnba? By the way? He spoke the truth about the wnba. That a high school team could beat them pretty handily. Here it is. Listen to it. Cut three.
AMPM Ad Voice
Man.
Michael Porter Jr.
If the. If the WNBA instead of All Star team.
Ben Berkram
Yeah, the Olympic team.
Michael Porter Jr.
If the Olympic team played the McDonald's boys. All American high school players.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah.
Michael Porter Jr.
It's one of the things, bro. You can't dance around it, bro. At the end of the day, like in high school, when I was in high school, it was like, grown men, bro. We were grown men. Pretty much like me, Trey Young, deandre Ayton, Gary Trent, PJ Washington. Like.
Grant Stinchfield
First off, was that his high school team, unbeatable? Yes. They would beat any WNBA team. In fact, I would take any of the top five varsity basketball teams in Dallas, Texas, and I think they could beat any WNBA team. But the NBA can't stand that. They can't stand the truth because these genders are supposed to be equal, right? Oh, well, guess What? Maga Porter Jr speaks out about genders as well. Cut 4.
Michael Porter Jr.
God created male and female.
Chris Josephs
Yes.
Grant Stinchfield
God created male and female. But my parents, my. My parents taught me to let people be happy with their lives. Why, like, why does me, like, you get what I'm saying? So that's why. Why? Honestly, I've never, like, I feel, like, be overly, you know, on Twitter. You feel me on some super. I don't know if that's left wing or right wing. Everybody decisions. But it still started as two genders. At the end is my favorite. You can respect everybody's decisions. That's what we preach on this program, by the way. You're free to do whatever you want. You want to act like a ding dong and an idiot and dress up like a woman with.
Steve Toth
When you're.
Grant Stinchfield
When you're a dude, you can go do that. But don't tell me you're some random gender that I've never heard of. Don't tell me you're a cat when you're a human. And don't tell me you're a woman when you're a man. And that's what Maga Porter Jr. Was saying. In fact, he told his friend there that he was sitting next to. You've been living in L. A. Too long, is what he said. Now, how do I know he's a Trump guy? I know Maga Porter Jr. Is a Trump guy because he asks all the right questions. When he was in on this podcast that interviewed Elon Musk and Donald Trump, not only did Michael Porter Jr say he was interested in listening to the podcast, but he asked a very interesting question. Listen.
Chris Josephs
So he was the one that got us Trump.
Michael Porter Jr.
Really? Yeah. That was a. That was a big interview, huh? Yeah, because they tried to. They pretty much tried to, like, shut up Trump up, right?
Chris Josephs
Well, they deleted the pod we did with them.
Michael Porter Jr.
Oh, did they? Yeah, like, and you don't know who deleted it.
Steve Toth
YouTube.
Michael Porter Jr.
Just because. Why?
Grant Stinchfield
Just why? Just because.
Chip Roy
Why?
Grant Stinchfield
See, Michael Porter Jr's asking the right questions. And the NBA is not going to like its players asking the right questions. So it has the audacity to tell Michael Porter Jr. To sit down and shut up. Do you know they changed the name of owners in the NBA to governors because owners sounded like slave owners. So they don't want to sound like slave owners by being called owners. So they call you governors, which is a ridiculous change, by the way. Okay, these guys are making tens of millions of dollars. They're not slaves. But they'll change the name to governors. But then they'll treat you like a slave and tell you to sit down and shut up. That's the NBA for you. It's really a disgrace, but Maga Porter Jr. I don't know. You probably get in trouble that I did a whole segment on you. But I'm proud of you, my man. And next time the Brooklyn Nets come to Dallas, maybe invite me down to the floor. My kid is a huge Brooklyn Nets fan. Aren't you, Wyatt? I hope he's watching. All right folks, radical Democrats have found the new leader of the Democrat Party. That's next. I'm going to ask all of you, who do you think the leader of the Democrat Party is? Certainly not Nancy Pelosi.

More.

No way. It's Joe Biden. You maybe could make an argument. Barack Obama still runs the show. But you know, you got these radicals like AOC Jayapal, all the Looney Tunes bin of the Democrats. But what about the old school looney Tunes? Maybe they are still in charge like Al Too Mean Green. Remember him with the pimp cane? Maybe he's the leader of the Democrat Party now. No, I have not spoken to Democratic leadership.
General Michael Flynn
I am a liberated Democrat.
Steve Toth
Now. Looking at Democratic leadership right here.
Grant Stinchfield
This. He's wagging his pimp cane at the crowd. You're looking at the Democrat leadership. If that's the Democrat leadership again, it is confirmed my biggest suspicions that the Democrats are lost as they wash themselves straight down the toilet. That folks is going to do it for us.
