Key Discussion Points & Insights

DOJ Investigating John Brennan

• Host Grant Stinchfield opens the show expressing personal animosity toward John Brennan and optimistically reports on DOJ preparations for grand jury subpoenas against Brennan regarding alleged lies to Congress, particularly related to the Steele dossier and Russia investigation.

  • "How do you know when the rabid dogs are getting antsy? They run away when they're backed into a corner." — Grant Stinchfield [00:51]

• Discussion of Public Evidence & Calls for Declassification:

  • John Solomon suggests President Trump should declassify Brennan's interview with John Durham to reveal details about the intelligence community's actions and knowledge. Stinchfield notes that Trump often takes Solomon’s advice [03:06].
  • Emphasizes the need for transparency and disclosure to confirm Brennan’s alleged wrongdoing.

Interview: Lt. Col. (Ret.) Ivan Raiklin

• Background:

  • Raiklin, labeled by Stinchfield as his "Secretary of Retribution," describes his experience being subpoenaed multiple times in investigations linked to January 6 and the Trump fundraising apparatus.
  • Critiques the stealthy, indirect way subpoenas were served—sent to communications and tech companies rather than to Raiklin himself [09:28].

• Claims of Targeted Political Persecution:

  • Raiklin outlines how four key subpoenas were directed at committees in the Trump fundraising ecosystem, with an emphasis on Save America PAC and other key organizers, connecting these to an overarching Democratic plot post-2022 midterms to tie Trump and associates to January 6.
  • "We have to personally defend ourselves from a tyrannical overreach of a government of the previous one…" — Ivan Raiklin [13:08]

  • "I went trick or treating outside of the Washington field office on Friday asking folks coming in and out if they knew this guy Jeremy Dor who's at the bottom of the subpoena, and no one said that they knew him... Thankfully Cash Patel must have listened and fired him." — Ivan Raiklin [11:38]

Government Shutdown, Filibuster, and Senate Politics

• Air Traffic/Safety as Pressure on Democrats:

  • Reports on the Trump administration halting ~10% of flights at major U.S. airports to exert leverage during fiscal standoff ("putting the squeeze to Democrats") [15:40].
  • President Trump and Secretary Duffy stress moves are for "100% safety," but Stinchfield frames it as political pressure.

• Filibuster Debate:

  • Trump and guests repeatedly call for abolishing the Senate filibuster, arguing that Democrats will eliminate it when convenient, so Republicans should act preemptively [17:20–18:25].
  • "I've never been on that position before, but I am now. I say throw it out and get some of the things that we need in place right away." — Grant Stinchfield [19:31]
  • Senator Fetterman audio segment underscores that Democrats have also supported ending the filibuster.

Interview: Mark Lynch, GOP Senate Candidate, South Carolina

• Lynch positions himself as a serious challenger to Lindsey Graham, critiquing Graham as insufficiently committed to conservative causes and Senate transparency.
