This is an I Heart podcast. Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. So we are well into now what is being dubbed as the Schumer shut down. As well it should be. Schumer feeling heat from the Looney Tune left wing faction of his party. And so now they're shutting down the government because of this. Why? Because they want to give health care to illegals. I actually think it's more than that. I think they hate President Trump. They will do everything they can to stop President Trump in his tracks. This will backfire on Senate Democrats, on Democrats in general, because President Trump will end up getting what he wants. And in the meantime, I think we're going to have to go through a lot of mass firings. And if we do that, that's going to only make this government even more streamlined and better than it was before. Here's Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democrats. It's clear that the way out of this shutdown is to sit down and negotiate with Democrats to address the looming health care crisis that faces tens of millions of American families. Democrats want to avert this crisis, but Republicans tried to bully us, and it's clear they can't.

B
They don't have the votes.

A
Well, three Democrats actually sided with Senate Republicans because they know this is one of the most ridiculous moves ever by the Democrats. Think about this. The Republicans sent a clean continuing resolution. What does that mean? It basically means, hey, let's just keep spending at the current levels while we can work this out. Any reasonable person would say, okay, fair enough. Not the Democrats. They want this idea of health care for illegal aliens. They want to fund NPR and pbs, and they thought they could use this to hold President Trump hostage. Now Schumer claims this is all a lie. Well, ask Speaker Mike Johnson about that in the meeting in the White House. Chuck Schumer was in the Oval Office with me, what, 48 hours ago? We were there. The President has a strong leader. He brought all of us in. All four leaders, Thune and Schumer and myself and Hakeem Jeffries. And the President said, make your case. What is it you want? And Chuck Schumer repeated in that meeting what he put on paper. The counter proposal that he filed. Everyone can go read it for themselves. Would add $1.5 trillion in new spending on a seven week stopgap measure. We're not doing that. He wants to give health care to illegal aliens. Again, we're not doing that. He knew Republicans this would be dead on arrival with them. You think after everything President Trump did running and what the American people want as a mandate from him. We're going to give illegal aliens health care and spend more of this crazy spending like they were before. Not a chance. Look, Chuck Schumer has a primary against him. He's afraid of losing to the likes of AOC of all people. JD Vance spelled it out. But the reality here, and let's be honest about the politics, is that Chuck Schumer is terrified she's going to get a primary challenge for from Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. The reason why the American people's government is shut down is because Chuck Schumer is listening to the far left radicals in his own party because he's terrified of a primary challenge. Folks, listen to me and listen to me carefully. Thirteen times the Democrats, when they controlled the majority, they voted for these continuing resolutions. Now, I don't like a continuing resolution, but this was only through Thanksgiving. They could have kept the government up and running. He said no. So now we, we've got to go with mass layoffs. Call it the Schumer shutdown. What do you think about that, Chucky Schumer? Every Republican who's gone on TV the last 12 hours or so has called this the Schumer shutdown. What do you say about that name? Senator Schumer, can you hear me? I can't hear Senator Schumer, can you hear me? That's what he gets, the Schumer shutdown. The guy had a great line. Maybe the budget shut down. Government shut down. Cut audio from the Capitol. So what a hypocrite Chuck Schumer is. Because over and over again he claimed the dangers of a government shutdown. Chuck Schumer did. Now what? He ignores his, his old words. I mean his old words now come back to haunt him. To minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open. The last thing Americans need right now is a pointless government shutdown. A shutdown will hurt just about every American. If the government shuts down, it will be average Americans who suffer most. Look, the reality is all of Congress can't do their job. We haven't been coming up with budgets, regular order for as long as I can remember. And I'm 56 years old and I can't remember the last time we had regular order of coming up with budgets. So we got a lot to go around when it comes to blame. But I will tell you, when it comes to this shutdown, right now the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of Chuck Schumer. And his Democrats I want to bring in now, such a great friend of the program. Republican Congressman from Tennessee, Tim Burchett is back with us. Congressman, it's great to see you.
- [05:39]
B
It's great seeing you, brother. Thank you again for having me on.
- [05:42]
A
Absolutely. So your thoughts now of what's happening? The Democrats are saying we're all crazy calling the Schumer shut down and they want to spend money on illegals for health care. But I think those are facts. Your thoughts about where we are?
- [05:57]
B
Well, I think J.D. vance had it right. I said this several days ago. I put it out on a video that it really has to do with Schumer looking in his rearview mirror. Had 1.5 million views. And you know, Republicans are terrible at messaging. We all need to just focus on the facts. And the facts are this. Chuck Schumer will shut this thing down to pay for illegals health care, transgender surgery, all this radical NPR funding public television and some other liberal media outlets that just espoused abuse the Democratic National Committee. And as I stated in my video, Schumer is looking at his rearview mirror and all he sees is adoc. And he sees New York, New York City is going to go vote for a Marxist, literally an open and shut Marxist. I mean, that's all there is. And he's unapologetic about it. And yet he knows that's AOC's base and he knows that's not his base. If he does not appeal to them, he will be out of office. He will wreck this country to stay in power. And that is the problem with leadership in both parties. They've got their Suburbans, they've got their four deep security. They never have to stand in line. Anywhere they go, they're above everybody else and they start believing it. And that's Chuck Schumer for over, for several decades. He needs to go back home to New York and flip those raw hamburgers with cheese on them that we've all seen the pictures of and play with his grandchildren. His time has come and gone. AOC will smoke him. And I see Cortez all the time. And I told her, hey, Cortez, I said, are you taking on Shiver? I said, you know you can beat him. And she smiles and says, I'll shut up, Burchett. And you know, I get it. I get it. It's. That's what it's all about. It's about these people been here too dad gum long. And this town has left them behind. And the Democrats don't realize these young folks are Angry about what's going on in their party and ours. That's why the Charlie Kirk effect, you know, it's nationwide. It's not a trend. It's the way of the future. These are the future leaders and they're going to take control. They're going to take the bull by the horns. And he better realize that in his own party or he'll be, he'll be out on the CNN guest editorial saying, writing his memoir somewhere.
- [08:20]
A
Well, you know, it's really sad because you bring up New York and Chuck Schumer and aoc. I don't like to tell people I've lived in Texas now for 23 years. I like telling people that. But I grew up in and around New York City. I'm at the point, Congressman, where I kind of hope this Mamdani wins. I hope New York goes into the S hole and they suffer and they realize how bad it is because we'll be able to use it as an example. Now, I say that some respects hesitantly, because I really want every American city to succeed. But if they're gonna go down this road, they're gonna learn a deep lesson. And in the end, I think we're the ones that are gonna benefit from it. When we look around the rest of the country.
- [09:00]
B
Exactly. Margaret Thatcher said it best. The trouble with socialism is they run out of people to take their money from and dadgummit, they've run out. And I guarantee you Donald J. Trump will not allow a single dollar to go to any of their Marxist policies in New York in a once proud city that he had a lot to do with making it proud. And the American taxpayers are not going to bail out a bunch of failed policies and things. It never works. The socialism, Marxism, communism, whatever you want to call it, it's just taking from others and, and giving to somebody else who doesn't want to work for it. And that's what's what it's all about. And Schumer is, is caught in this trap and he's got to throw the country down the. And the sad thing is. Well, it's not so sad for me being a Republican, but the Democrats are just going to. Falling right off that cliff and they don't get it because they've been out for, for so long. All they'd have to do is get their message from the dnc and then their leadership would espouse it. And then abc, NBC, cbs, cnn, msnbc, the View, all those cluckheads, they would get on there and they would espouse it and then in their arrogance, they would, they would believe it.
- [10:12]
A
Let me ask you about this, because I think the American people are fed up with all of us. We just want Congress to do their job. And I'll say, present company excluded, we got a lot of them up there that aren't doing their job. You don't fall into that category, Congressman Burchett, but you will get paid. We got TSA agents that aren't going to get paid. We got members of the military that won't get paid. We got, you know, Border patrol that won't get paid. Let's me play a clip from Rick Scott and then get your, get your response to this.
- [10:38]
B
And by the way, if you didn't do your job in business, you didn't get paid. You don't show up and do your.
- [10:43]
A
Job, you don't get paid.
- [10:44]
B
Why are we getting paid? We shouldn't get paid if we don't do our job. We fig. We need to figure out how to work together to get our budgets done. It's as simple as that.
- [10:51]
A
So you're going to offer legislation to not get paid during lock. During shutdowns?
- [10:55]
B
Absolutely. I already have a bill. We've got a bill that we don't get paid during the shutdown.
- [11:03]
A
Is he sincere? What do you think about all this, Congressman?
- [11:07]
B
He's a multimillionaire. He can be sincere. I have filed similar legislation in the past. It goes nowhere. I've already written a letter to the, to the folks that write our checks to say do not send me a check for, for the time we're off. You know, it's in the Constitution. It's going to happen. We've got to change that. The reality is, again, 12% of the population that's eligible to vote, votes. This is what you get. You get a clown show, and that's what you've got in Washington, D.C. speaking.
- [11:37]
A
Of clown show, I know you'll get a smile about this before I let you go. Hakeem Jeffries held a live stream yesterday as the showdown is going down. He had like 156 viewers. I think we have video of this and we can throw that up on the screen. 156 viewers. Okay. It gets worse because 20 minutes later, we'll throw up this video. That livestream dropped to 93 viewers. I'm going to tell you. Pretty sorry.
- [12:10]
B
I can get 93 folks to the ball market over here in Western Avenue. You can ask my boys Alan and Richie. I do it when we have political people in town. I just put it out, and I can get that many people to drive there from their homes, that's pathetic. And to say that the House has anything to do with it anymore. Hakeem Jeffries missed his chance to negotiate. He refused to negotiate. He walked down that path with Schumer hand in hand. They're skipping down that path, and they're taking it on the chin, and they know it. And the Democrats are peeling off in the House. They are disgusted. This is the type of thing. This is the Republican primary. Republican. You'd be looking at a new speaker when we get back or a new leader. And so you're going to have a lot of. A lot of spoiled grapes on this one because the polls are not looking good for them on this one.
- [12:59]
A
It's not going to end well for them. And. And that's a good thing for us. Congressman Burchett, it's always great to see you. I appreciate you taking time out for us tonight, and we'll talk soon, I'm sure.
- [13:09]
B
Thank you, brother. Pray for our country.
- [13:11]
A
Absolutely. We always do. And everybody out there, Stitchfield's army, is doing it on a daily basis, if not an hourly basis at times. All right, you want to see the exact example, the best example of the Democrat Party today? Okay. Someone who pushes violence, someone who lies and is low iq. That is the Democrat congressman or woman in America today. I'm talking about Maxine Waters, of course.
- [13:37]
C
Do Democrats want to prioritize the health care of illegal aliens over a government shutdown? Because if the government does shut down, Americans.
- [13:45]
A
Excuse me. Stop it right there. We're not prioritizing. What we're doing is saying simply, we want to keep the government open and we want to work with the Republicans and have a bipartisan agreement. This interview was great, and it basically went viral yesterday. A young reporter for Lindell TV was doing that interview, and she did a fabulous job. And I said, well, we got to get her on. So with me now is D.C. correspondent for Lindell TV. Alison Steinberg is with us. Allison, welcome to the program.
- [14:18]
C
Thanks so much, Grant, for having me. It's great to be with you today.
- [14:21]
A
All right, I wanted to go through some of these clips with you, but. But first off, it was the end of your interview that I think sealed it for me. You turned to the camera and you gave a look, and I about fell out of my chair. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Your thoughts about Maxine Waters and how she responded to your questions before we go through some of them.
- [14:39]
C
Well, obviously, Maxine didn't get briefed up on the standard Democrat talking points, which was to deny that they're giving illegals free health care. She actually just, you know, said the quiet part out loud there. So that was slightly shocking in and of itself. But I was also just taken back by her inability to have a conversation. I was asking a very simple question. She told me that I was being divisive and trying to create controversy. No, I was simply trying to ask questions that the American people want answers to. And I guess a journalist can't even do that in today's day and age, unless you're, you know, part of the mainstream media machine.
- [15:14]
A
Let's see if Alice Steinberg was being divisive, as Maxine Waters said. Roll the next clip.
- [15:23]
C
Aren't Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens?
- [15:27]
A
Democrats are demanding health care for everybody. We want to save lives. So there's where she admitted it. For everybody.
- [15:39]
C
Yes, yes. They. They want health care for everyone, which actually, I guess, is pronouns for illegal aliens. This is how Democrats confuse you. They try to, you know, use words and definitions that aren't actually true. They, they are notorious for changing definitions. So everybody actually is translation for illegal aliens. And she made that very clear in that statement, I think.
- [16:02]
A
All right, I say she's a low IQ individual. You talk to her face to face. I hear her. Remember, she's the one. Go out and get in their faces, get up in their face if you see them out there. All of all of these things, your interactions with her. Did she even see the Lyndell TV mike flag? I mean, she's got to know where you're coming from. When you walk up to her, is she low IQ or is she just doing what Democrats do?
- [16:27]
C
I think she's just decrepit and ancient. And I think we need to absolutely implement term limits because she is way past her prime. In certain areas of the Capitol, they don't let us have the mike flag. So I think that's how I've been able to sneak in and get some of these great clips with Democrats. But I think for long, they're probably going to start recognizing me. So I'm going to have to maybe go undercover soon with a green wig and a septum ring. Maybe then I'll get some more answers from these people.
- [16:49]
A
Groucho Marx glasses. And let me play one more. I know you're tight on time. Let me play one more clip and then get your reaction.
- [16:57]
C
So you're good with the government shutdown, even if it means giving health care to people who aren't American citizens.
- [17:03]
A
Well, you keep. That's what you're pushing on. What you're trying to do is you're standing here and you're trying to make me say that somehow we're going to put non citizens over Americans. Quit it. Stop it. This is the kind of journalism we don't need. You are divisive. No, you're not. You're being divisive. No, please. I'm sorry. But it was great. Every question you asked, she doesn't have an answer for them. Allison, I'll give you the last word.
- [17:34]
C
Yeah. It just goes to show how ridiculous these Democrats are. In fact, I just was at a forum that they held about how we need to protect free speech because apparently President Trump is trampling over the First Amendment. It just highlights their sheer hypocrisy there. They don't care about free speech. They don't care about truth. They care about pushing their ridiculous talking points that don't actually benefit Americans and prioritize illegal aliens. They're sick. And I can't believe anyone even still follows these people anymore.
- [17:59]
A
Well, I appreciate the work you're doing out there. Thank you for sharing some time with us. I always say in this battle against the left, we got to work together. Lindell, tv, Real America's Voice, even One America News, Newsmax, all of them. This is a team effort. And great job, Alison. Thank you.
- [18:14]
C
Amen. Thanks so much.
- [18:16]
A
Absolutely. And Mike Lindell, what a great supporter of Real America's Voice as well. Happy and great. Thanks for him putting Allison on loan to us for. For a little bit. All right, I want to revisit Memphis. We're going to go out to Portland here in a little bit. But Memphis, today, before the show started, you saw Pete Hagseth, Pam Bondi, and Stephen Miller talking about what the plan is. And the plan is we're going to track you down. We're going to get you if you're a criminal. Look out. The National Guard now on the ground in Memphis. The federal agents have already made dozens upon dozens of arrests in that city. To give some people some relief, here's the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.
- [18:59]
D
I just cannot thank you enough for.
- [19:02]
A
What you do, what you do in.
- [19:04]
D
Difficult places, in dark places, in dangerous places, where politicians spend a lot of time second guessing you, second guessing the impossible decisions that you have to make that they will never understand.
- [19:18]
A
It's part of what we're trying to.
- [19:19]
D
Do with the department, for our troops overseas or in combat and elsewhere is we're not here to second guess you.
- [19:25]
B
We're here to have your back.
- [19:28]
A
So that is the Secretary of War talking to the National Guard troops who are now going to be on the ground stationed in Memphis. This is relief for the people. I'm going to ask you, when was the last time in the last four years before President Trump took office that anybody in any city had any relief that we could actually start to relax and think, you know what? Help is on the way? Well, right now, help is on the way, thanks to our Commander in Chief, and thanks to great leaders like Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and, yes, Stephen Miller.
- [19:59]
D
We are about to provide you with.
- [20:02]
A
A level of support you cannot even imagine. This isn't just a task force. This is a all of government, unlimited support operation. Atf, dea, FBI, ice, Department of War, every resource we have. And they're not going to be sitting.
- [20:22]
D
Behind a desk at a keyboard.
- [20:25]
A
We are sending in real cops with guns and badges to go out with.
- [20:30]
D
You on the street every single night making arrests.
- [20:35]
A
Look, I've got a very good friend, a few of them, actually, who live in Memphis, and they tell me, you go to the wrong part of town, it's game over. You don't want to be there. That ends today, folks, as the thugs and bruisers who rule the streets of Memphis are going to be put on notice. And this is happening in many cities across the country. Country. Our own Brian Glenn was traveling with the President's crew there, which was Bondi Miller. And Hegseth, he had a chance to catch up with the Attorney General just before they landed in Memphis.
- [21:05]
C
Crime has plummeted in D.C. it's been amazing. I was texting with Mayor Bowser this morning, and last night, I was texting with the mayor of Memphis. So we're really looking forward to going to Memphis today. And, you know, we know President. President Trump knows when the government shuts down, crime doesn't shut down. And so we're not going to let that impact what we're doing and fighting to keep America safe. Memphis has the highest violent murder rate in the entire country. Just this year alone, they have had 150 murders.
- [21:37]
A
It's crazy. And then you look at cities like Chicago. I just saw over the weekend, 52 people shot in two days. These are war zones, these are crime rates higher than Afghanistan, and yet these are American cities. So, again, thank you to President Trump and his team for working to make America safe again. That's going on in Portland as well as these antifa lunatics. Take to the streets. They continue to riot and wage war on ICE agents. Outside that ICE facility in Portland. National Guard is there now as well. ICE agents stepping up. And you know who else is on the ground there? Ben Berkoum is. So we're going to talk to him in a moment. Now, do you owe back taxes? Are your tax returns still unfiled? Did you forget to file your tax extension? The October 15 deadline is fast approaching and time is running out. They can garnish your wages, freeze your bank accounts, or even seize your property. But there's help available. Tax Network USA is a nationwide tax firm. It's helped taxpayers save over 1 billion in tax debt. Don't wait. Visit tnusa.com forward/rav or call 1-800-905-8000 for a 100% free consultation. Visit tnusa.com rav or call 1-800-905 8000. All right, the next chapter of the redistricting wars and what leftists are doing to stop them. We're talk about that in the program. And Ben Berkwam is in Portland. We will talk with him as well. All of it on the Real America's Voice show today. Welcome back everyone. It's no secret that across America in blue cities, we literally have lunatics that rule the streets. From the thugs and bruisers that are criminals that should be in prison to the Antifa goons who literally cause such chaos and destruction. It needs to stop. Well, Portland, Oregon is one of those cities. This has been a problem for a really long time. The president is now taking notice. As you know, the National Guard is on the way in Portland. We've got ICE agents upping their presence there in Portland as Antifa surrounds the ICE facility. Antiva's used to getting its way in Portland. They basically are given areas of the city to just control. Why? Because the lunatics that rule the streets also are in city hall. This is one of those lunatics not in city hall but on the streets. You are not better than us. So this folks, is what ICE agents have to deal with. And, and that's actually the least of their problems because when they start throwing rocks and bottles and ICE agents, it literally puts them into danger. So RAV was given unprecedented access behind the scenes into that ICE facility and talked with top leaders of ICE who of course gets that kind of access. Our own Ben Berkwam, he was on the roof with this high ranking ICE officers who's in charge of enforcement removal operations. Let's hear from her.
- [25:10]
C
And they can be here In a relatively short amount of time. They'll just be waves of folks that'll come in when they see if we've stepped up our battle rhythm, if we have more people, people coming in and out, if we have more people on the roof, if there's more traffic in and out of the building. Just a whole lot of different things. Because they have some spotters downstairs who will let everybody know through their networks what is and isn't happening down here.
- [25:40]
A
So they've got spotters. It's like a military operation. And they want to tell us somehow that ANTIFA is not organized or a real group. We know differently. I want to bring in now my buddy rav. Correspondent Ben Berkwum is with us. He is in Portland. Ben, welcome to the program.
- [25:59]
D
Hey, thank you. You know, it's just incredible, Grant, to be able to stand here, to be invited in there and the building you see behind me, that was Camilla Wamsley, she's the field office director for Seattle. Covers Alaska, Seattle and down here in Portland. And what these guys have to go through every night is just truly unbelievable. Simply. And by the way, Grant, all of this is predicated on these crazy leftists that are coming out here protesting ice, getting rid of criminal illegal aliens in the community. All of it starts from there. But you're right, the most important thing people need to understand is this is not just antifa. This goes all the way to the city hall, to the mayor, to the governor. There is a coordinated effort. It should be a RICO case by all of these different organizations to undermine America from within. ANTIFA is just the weaponized violent arm of this organization that's working to destroy this country.
- [26:53]
A
We're told over and over again that, oh, this is just one city block. What's your response to that when we hear that?
- [27:02]
D
Yeah, no, it's total nonsense. ANTIFA has been allowed to run Portland for the last 10 years. Basically they've been given part blanche.
- [27:10]
A
They.
- [27:11]
D
It's basically the violent arm of the Democratic Socialists of America. So when you see DSA and all of these organizations, Socialist, communists, all these different groups, ANTIFA is just the brown shirts of the Democrats now. And so they're used as the violent arm. There are places you go downtown, it's the same thing. And it's not just with ice. It's not just obstructing what ICE is doing here. It's obstructing what ICE is doing across the city and across the state to be able to get rid of the criminal illegal aliens. It's Also what they've done to law enforcement where they protect these criminals, they commit crimes, they're not held accountable. A patriot, a conservative, commits a crime or doesn't commit a crime, is just accused of committing a crime and they are prosecuted. It's this unequal, no longer equal protection under the law. That's what you have here. It's total lawlessness. I call it post constitutional America. That's what you have in these communities.
- [28:04]
A
Have they managed to hire police officers that subscribe to this ideology or are the police officers in Portland feel like they're handcuffed too?
- [28:15]
D
Yeah, that's. It's a bit of a mixed bag. But for the most part, the police officers want to be able to do their jobs. But when you ask them, it's always off the record. They can't say it officially, but it's always, well, I gotta keep my pension. And that's really what it comes down to. It's just like we saw in Covid. Well, I gotta follow orders. And that's the unfortunate thing. But it's all driven by the mayor's office. The mayor determines what the police can and can't do. They cannot respond. The Portland police cannot respond to a four block radius of this area. When calls are called out, even to the people that live here that may have an issue, they will not respond because there's an ICE facility here.
- [28:54]
A
I mean, that's like something you would hear in Paris or London or something like that. You wouldn't think that would be happening in an American city. Let me play a little bit more of the interview you did with, with that, that ICE higher up roll cut to.
- [29:09]
C
For me, we get a lot of flack because our folks wear masks. Our people are doing that to protect themselves and their family from this doxing and from people coming to their houses and from being followed home. Meanwhile, we have people here who show up with gas masks, with helmets, different types of strobe equipment or other things that will impede the lawful operations that we have going on.
- [29:39]
A
Ben, I don't want to litigate the masks because I'm not a big fan of the masks myself. I've been outspoken about that. But the reality is these agents are being followed home. These agents are being doxxed, These agents families are being threatened. How bad is it getting, especially in Portland for these agents?
- [29:57]
D
Well, it's to the point where, you know, it's tough to hire people in some of these areas. If you want, if you're going to work for ice, you know, a lot of People second have second thoughts when it's like, well, I'm going to get stationed in Portland. If I get sent to Texas to a red state where they back me up, sure, I'll go there, but. And that's the whole point of this, is to terrorize the individuals from not wanting to do their job. In fact, all around here, you've got kill cops, you've got signs that say jump ice. All of these messages, they go in there, they're shouting up, kill yourself. It's just the most vile, evil thing you can hear. It's just, it's awful.

Ben, we played a clip from Nick Shirley, who does a lot of the type of work you do, and one of the antifa members said last night to him, I'm going to smoke you if you don't get out of here. Is there any action on behalf of law enforcement that when people like yourself or Nick Shirley or Brandy Cruz are threatened by these antifa people, I mean, legitimate threats, where they will go and arrest them?
- [30:59]
B
No, no.
- [31:01]
D
And, and look, and I'll tell you from now, if it happens in when, when ICE is out here and they're dealing with another arrest, if there's an assault near them, they see that, they'll step in. But their, their objective, their purpose is to secure this federal facility. And when National Guard comes in, that will be their purpose. It's the local PD's job to protect you on city streets. And they have given up on this area of the city.
- [31:23]
A
Wow.
- [31:24]
D
They have left this to this, to the citizens.
- [31:27]
A
Lastly, when do you expect the National Guard to be helping ICE agents protect that facility?
- [31:34]
D
Anticipation is sometime this weekend. I don't have an official day or time, but that's the rumblings that we're hearing. So we're kind of waiting and seeing. And really it comes down to how violent, you know, President Trump, this is a response from how violent the left gets. And so the more violent they get, the faster that will happen. And by the way, you can see it's mostly peaceful right now. It's always at night when these demons come out. And that's always the way it is. And you have the mainstream media come out and say, oh, oh, there's nothing to see here. But at night, that's when all the violence happens.
- [32:03]
A
Yeah, it's, it's amazing. I mean, not surprising, you know, nothing good happens when the sun goes down, especially after midnight, as my grandmother always said. But Ben, be safe out there. As always. We appreciate all the work that you do. Thank you, my friend.
- [32:17]
D
My pleasure. Thanks, Grant.
- [32:18]
A
Absolutely. All right, that was the great Ben Berkman. All right, coming up next, we're going to talk about Texas redistricting. We're going to talk about California redistricting, and we'll talk about some possibilities. One good, one really bad. Next. Well, welcome back, everyone. Redistricting battles are going on across the country as we speak. In Texas, a what's estimated to be a nine day trial over Texas's new maps, which the left wants to claim are somehow racist. Well, this is the same group that sued Texas over its 2021 maps. And so now a court will decide. Now, remember, in 2019, the Supreme Court basically said that gerrymandering may not be the Democrat process, but if it's not unconstitutional, there's nothing the courts can do about it. So Texas aims to pick up five seats. Now, this is for a woman from the plaintiffs who claim the maps are racist. The DOJ obliged, providing Governor Abbott with the COVID that he was looking for a roadmap as to how to redraw these districts. All right, she's talking about Pam Bondi's DOJ that sent a letter to Greg Abbott saying, hey, the other districts you had were no good in 2021. Redraw. That opened up the door to redraw the maps this way to gain Texas five seats. Here's our friend Christina Pearson, you may remember her, she's now a state representative in Texas defending the maps.
- [34:02]
C
Rick and I just reject the notion that that race is even involved here because one of the things that, you know, we did hear is that they wanted districts of people who look like them, sound like them, have the same culture.
- [34:13]
E
And those districts exist. There's four new Hispanic seats.
- [34:17]
C
You know, it just doesn't make any sense.
- [34:21]
A
Look, bottom line is we can argue all day about how we're drawing the lines with racist, not racist. The reality is we're trying to gain five seats. Okay? I'm not hiding that fact. And it better work. Now, here's where disaster would strike. If Texas loses this and California moves forward with its redistricting plans, which I believe go against the California Constitution. Constitution. And California wins. Now we're under a real world of hurt. Same goes true, though. If Texas wins and California voters stop it, then California and the Democrats are under a world of hurt. So this goes both ways. So you have Prop 50 in California. There is a huge effort underway to get California voters to say no to Prop 50. No, the legislature can't redistrict. I want to bring in now Someone who's instrumental in pushing back against this Prop 50. She is actress and comedian Roxanne Hogue. Roxanne, welcome to the program. It's good to see you.
- [35:22]
E
Good to see you, Grant.
- [35:24]
A
All right, so it's interesting because Republicans in Texas are making one argument, Republicans in California are making another. But the difference is California is breaking its own constitution. That's not happening in Texas. And that's a big difference. Roxy. Yes.
- [35:40]
E
Not only that, Texas is responding to gerrymandering. That was distinctly racist. And I have to say, as the chairman of the Los Angeles County Republican Party, an immigrant and a non white person myself, I find it very interesting that Gavin Newsom and his cronies decided to redistrict just when minorities, Hispanics and everyone young started taking a step to the right and the electorate, even in Los Angeles, moved nine points into the red. It's, I'm sure, a coincidence.
- [36:11]
A
All right, so the people of California have to vote this through. They've got to approve this. That vote is coming up. How is the effort going to push back and get Californians to vote no, which I would think would be a very tall order in a state like California with the blind liberal zombies that simply follow Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi's every move?
- [36:34]
E
Well, one thing you have to remember is that people, even though we are a blue state, they are rightly suspicious of any ballot proposition because we've noticed in the past decade that they're almost always the opposite of what they're called and they accomplish the opposite of what they claim. So we got our sample ballots and it turns out, whoops, they made a mistake in how they depicted one of the districts. It turns out to be the one that Mike Garcia used to sit in. And they've misstated so much about what they're doing. And so I really hope that normal Californians, who we actually have some, they are all, when you tell them, hey, this is upending our independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is part of the Constitution, they pretty much don't want that. And just like they voted for Prop 36, which made crime illegal again, I think they're gonna step forward and say no to Prop 50 cuz it is a naked prop.
- [37:32]
A
All right, I know Republicans are trying to bring in heavy hitters. My least favorite Republican in California may just be Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think he literally ruined the Republican Party in California. But he is out campaigning on behalf of saying no to Prop 50. Let's roll his clip. The politicians want their power back. That's what they want to do is take us backwards. This is why it is important for you to vote. Vote no on Proposition 50. California voters established an independent commission led by Citizens to Stop rigged elections. Prop 50 cancels its historic reform putting the politicians back in charge.
- [38:10]
D
The Constitution does not start we the politicians.
- [38:13]
A
It starts with we the people. Trust citizens, not politicians. No on 50.
- [38:17]
B
Democracy.
- [38:18]
A
We got to protect it and we got to go and fight for it. All right, Roxanne, I'll admit the first rule in marketing is don't do what you think is best. Do what the numbers say is best. Does Arnold Schwarzenegger still have a big following? Does this help us?
- [38:36]
E
He has absolute star power, but more than that, he actually makes sense. He has been proving since out of office to say a few things in the last year like immigration enforcement is the purview of the federal government that almost knocked the ladies of the View back on their tucuses. And the fact is, he's right on this. We have maps that actually nobody really disputes, even though we are vastly underrepresented. Republicans are about 40% of the electorate when you, when you count the, you know, partisan races. And we have nine members of Congress out of the 50 plus. So I think people who pay attention will see this for what it is.
- [39:17]
A
All right, lastly, I want to play one more sound bite because California always does some crazy things with ballots and sample ballots and all these things you mentioned they listed District 22 twice. But I want to play a clip from a voter who got one of the sample ballots and it's all screwed up.
- [39:32]
F
Good information, cost portion to mail out.
- [39:36]
A
Now here we go. Sample ballot page left blank. Measures following pages may include blah, blah, blah. Right? And go to the actual text of the measures. Nothing. But these pages seem to have been there and cut out.
- [39:56]
F
You know, nothing gives anyone confidence about a fair election.
- [40:01]
A
Roxanne, I'll let you respond. I never think things are accidental or coincidence. I always think things are by design. Your thoughts real quick if you can.
- [40:10]
E
This is one case. I have the same thing in my hot little hands and it's got this page left bank. This is just crap work by a crap bureaucracy that can't even keep our streets clean. The next thing that came out in the mail with the other mistake was the statewide ballot information and that had all the information on it. It was. This is a nothing burger. The most important thing everyone should focus on is to take their ballots when they get them, vote no on Prop 50 and return them as soon as possible. This is not a drill. This is an existential threat to actual representation in the Golden State.
- [40:52]
A
All right. And it's not a joke from comedian Roxanne Hogue either. Roxanne, thank you. Appreciate you. Look, vote no on Prop 50 if you're in California. It's imperative. All right, folks, did you know that your home can be stolen without you even knowing how to protect yourself? That's next. Foreign welcome back, everyone. You know, I wish criminals would put their minds to something legal, and sometimes they come up with the craziest schemes and you think if you just did something legal, you'd be a millionaire. But instead, they use their brilliant mind, their scheming minds, to come up with all kinds of crimes. One of them is stealing your title to your home, basically stealing your home right out from underneath you to take loans out and all kinds of things. We told you about this before. There is a way to protect yourself. It's home title lock. And I want to bring in now investigative reporter with home title lock. John Sommer is with us. John, welcome back to the show.
- [42:01]
F
Thanks so much, Grant. And by the way, I concur with your previous segment. I'm in California as well, so we're dealing with all kinds of stuff here. But you're exactly right. I mean, what we're talking about here is title theft or deed theft or the FBI used to call it home stealing. But basically what it is, Grant, is. And now with the Internet and with artificial intelligence, anybody anywhere in the world can create the documents to be able to take somebody's title. And it doesn't have to be a home. It can be open land. It could be a cabin in the woods, grandma's house, an Airbnb, whatever. And then what they do once they gain access to the title is they either sell the home, but more than likely, Grant, they're going to take out loans, multiple loans on the house. And the homeowner never knows that they've been taken until it's way too late. And then the bank comes a knocking on the door and asking for the money. And you didn't even know that you were. You were scammed on this thing. It's so prevalent right now. It's a stealth crime and insidious, too, because it's most. For most folks, it's their. Their net worth. I mean, it's their. Their whole estate. And if it's gone, it's gone. And you're. You're done.
- [43:31]
A
Well, look, I know if, if someone stole my home, you're right about that. I mean, I've got so much of, of my, my net worth in my house. And, you know, as you work to pay that off, like so many American families do, in many respects, when I hear you talk about this, it seems like a form of identity theft. I mean, I know you're stealing the house, but now you've got to prove that it wasn't you that transferred the deed that you've got, that you didn't actually do this. That's got to be so hard. Is that where Home Title Locks comes in?
- [44:02]
F
Yes, it is. Because otherwise you have to hire an attorney and you go through the court system. And you know as well as I do just how, how messy that can be. But what you do need, Grant, is a, a service that can be able to monitor your title. And you mentioned this company, Home Title Lock, and I've done the research on all these companies. These guys are the pioneers. And what they do are three things. They monitor your title 24, 7. You can't do it. You can't do that. You have to go down to the courthouse and get a mattress and sleep there the whole time. And then they alert you if something fishy is happening. And then if for some reason grant the title does get transferred and it can happen very quickly, then they will work with you to restore the title into your good name up to a million dollars. Otherwise, you have to hire an attorney and go through the court system. And Home Title Lock just go on the website. It's not expensive and it's peace of mind. And literally everybody, every homeowner, property owner should have this service. It's just one of those things that you don't want to think about. Just do it.
- [45:20]
A
This would be devastating to anybody to have this happen. Forget about the headache. The headache would be the least of your problems. The financial wor and the expenses that incur. Home Title Lock takes care of all that. John, let me tell people how to get the home Title lock. And I so appreciate you coming on today and talking about it. So here's what you do, folks. Go to hometitle lock.com forward/spinchfield. Use the promo code ST14 to get a title history report plus 14 days of protection for free. For details, Visit home title lock.com forward/stinchfield. Or you can go to hometitlelock.com forward/warrance. All right. Trump thought the sombreros were so nice that he had to do them twice. We get into that next foreign. Welcome back, everyone. So we told you about President Trump. Basically trolling the left. Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries paying an AI video with a sombrero on Jeffries. It was fabulous. Well, Hakeem Jeffries flipped out about it. And what did President Trump do? President Trump came back with the heat. Another troll of Jeffries. It's a disgusting video. And we're going to continue to make clear bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the health care of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault. So there you have it. President Trump doing what's best. And, of course, J.D. vance talked about this. Our vice president. I mean, I'll tell Hakeem Jeffries right now. I make this solemn promise to you that if you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop. And I talked to the president of the United States about that. I'm telling you, it is so great to have an administration with a sense of humor. The other side has no sense of humor. So let's figure this out. They have no sense of humor. They're ugly and they're low IQ and they lie and they embrace violence. Who wants to side with those people? Not me. That's going to do it for us tonight, folks. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Grant Stitchfield, Stitchfield's army roles. Don't forget, you can follow me on social media at Stitchfield 1776 on just about every social media platform. See you tomorrow night, folks. This is an iHeart podcast.
