Key Discussions & Insights

1. Trump Meets Radical NYC Mayor-Elect Zofran Mamdani

[03:55 – 12:20]

• Context:
  Zofran Mamdani, the newly-elected far-left Mayor of New York City, met with President Trump at the White House.
• Grant’s Take:
  • Trump shows pragmatism by engaging with “even his biggest critics”—a socialist and self-described opponent.
  • “President Trump has proved that he will talk to anyone. He will negotiate with anyone. He is a statesman.” (Grant, 07:11)
  • Mamdani is credited for civility during the meeting, but Grant calls him “dangerous” due to his affability and radical stance.
• Prediction:
  • Expect ongoing clashes on immigration and cost of living.
• Memorable Moment:
  • Grant, with sarcasm: “He’s well spoken in some respects...A nice guy, except when you dig down deep. And at best, he’s a terrorist sympathizer. At worst, he could be a lot worse.” (09:22)

2. John Bolton, Classified Information, and Deep State Allegations

[12:20 – 20:24]

• Update on Bolton:
  Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton faces multiple counts of mishandling classified information. DOJ may file additional charges.
• Lt. Col. Ivan Raiklin’s Courthouse Encounter:
  • Attempted to question Bolton’s high-powered attorney, Abe Lowell (who also represents Hunter Biden and John Edwards).
  • “I was hoping that actually Bolton would show up...to ask why he was not at the funeral yesterday for his beloved Dick Cheney, and two, if he still had a USB drive underneath his mustache.” (Raiklin, 13:08)
• Deep State Rhetoric:
  • Raiklin pushes conspiracy that Bolton and media allies are “Deep State operators” and calls for “mass Deep State arrests in the next 57 days.” (16:06)
  • “If the President and this DOJ does not start doing mass arrests by January 17th… the lawfare and the attempted assassinations are only going to escalate.” (Raiklin, 16:04)

3. Intelligence Community, Tulsi Gabbard, and Control of Institutions

[16:59 – 20:24]

• Connection:
  Grant and Raiklin link alleged insubordination in intel/military to “Deep State” resistance.
• Discussion on Institutional Capture:
  • DOJ and FBI are described as almost fully controlled by Obama/Biden holdovers; Gabbard is credited with regaining only “a modicum of control” over the intelligence community.
  • “Tulsi Gabbard actually has done the best in terms of cleaning house...So it may not be at the 99% level, but I would say...maybe 90% [of intelligence agencies] are still manipulating...” (Raiklin, 19:00)
  • Grant: “They can't stand it as President Trump starts to take control, drain the swamp, get rid of all these people. They lose power, they can't stand it.” (20:05)

4. U.S. Immigration Enforcement & Backlash

[20:30 – 26:00]

• News:
  Tom Homan and DHS announce 2 million self-deportations and a rare drop in foreign-born U.S. population.

• Guest: JJ Carroll, Former Deputy Border Patrol Agent:
  • Praises federal agents as “doing God’s work,” laments public criticism.
  • “He [Trump] shut the border down...He didn’t do it in a thousand days. He did it in 24 hours.” (Carroll, 24:18)
  • Suggests redeploying agents nationwide and hiring former law enforcement to deport illegal immigrants more efficiently.
• Demographics Alarm:
  Carroll: “We’re sitting on a demographic time bomb here in America.” (24:44)

5. California Politics: Eric Swalwell’s Bid for Governor

[30:04 – 33:23]

• News:
  Rep. Eric Swalwell, infamous for his relationship with alleged Chinese spy Fang Fang, announces gubernatorial campaign.
• Grant’s Mockery:
  “He’s also ready to take a Chinese spy home, put her in his own bed. That doesn’t make you eligible for governor, bro.” (31:53)
• Climate Policy Sidebar:
  Tom Steyer (billionaire climate activist) also running. Leads into COP30 UN climate conference coverage.

6. COP30 UN Climate Conference Recap with Marc Morano

[33:23 – 40:08]

• Morano’s Experience in Brazil:
  • “I’ve never seen a summit this disastrous for the UN.” (Morano, 34:01)
  • Details chaos: eight miles of rainforest “clear cut” for the venue, massive sanitation failures, cruise ships for delegates, hypocrisy around fossil fuels and air conditioning.
  • “You had meat selling out at the conference...fire yesterday which shut down the entire conference...The whole thing was a burning down the house.” (Morano, 36:16)
• Affordability & Climate Policy:
  Grant plays Rep. Hakeem Jeffries tying home unaffordability to climate crisis. Morano rebuts:
  • “The entire Green New Deal...offshoring American jobs to China, increases our costs to do absolutely nothing...affordability begins with gutting the entire climate agenda.” (39:05)

7. Body Language & Political Behavior with Greg Hartley

[44:17 – 51:07]

• Analysis of Jasmine Crockett Mixing up Jeffrey Epstein:
  • Hartley: “She’s reading something like a cereal box...but when she gets to defending her partner, then she starts to really come up, raise her hands...She’s swaying to release nervous energy.” (45:09)
  • Compares her to SNL's Emily Litella: “No apology. She tries to double down...you can see she knows at some point that she’s been an idiot because her blink rate goes through the roof.” (46:49)
• Hakeem Jeffries’ Political Style:
  • “What he does well in terms of body language is he’s doing all the right stuff...It makes it easy if you’re attacking another politician rather than defending self.” (48:25)
  • “I think it’s learned and rehearsed...He punctuates what he thought and said it very effectively.” (49:13)
• Stacey Plaskett’s Awkward Admission about Epstein:
  • “She just smelled her own feet. She just stepped in something, and she knows it because she says, ‘He was my constituent...it was not public knowledge.’ …You can see the pregnant pause. It makes her look unreliable.” (50:14)
