This is an iHeart podcast. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. So the House Oversight Committee, run by Republicans, has concluded its investigation into Joe Biden's auto pen, or should we call it Joe Biden staff's auto pen? Their conclusion now is that nearly all of the executive orders, pardons, anything, directive signed by this auto pen could most possibly be invalid. Certainly, there are a lot of orders that are. The report calls this the biggest scandal of our time. They say that Biden's inner circle literally sought to deceive the public, stealing presidential authority from Joe Biden himself. This is the height of aggression against a nation. To me, it amounts to a coup. This is James Comer, who runs oversight. There's emails from. From the Biden Department of Justice, the Merrick Garland Department of Justice, to the Biden inner circle saying you need to be careful using the auto pin so much on legal documents. And then there are other emails. Was the President even aware that this particular person was pardoned? And I mean, so his own Department of Justice is concerned. Remember, it goes back to the story that Speaker Johnson told about Joe Biden not even knowing that he put a moratorium on liquid natural gas exports. Joe Biden didn't know what was going on. Now, in this report raises some very serious allegations, including that Joe Biden staff may have illegally acted in their quest to have the auto pen sign these orders with Joe Biden signature on them, saying that this is illegal. If it's illegal, that makes it criminal. This ought to be referred to for prosecution. And I will say this, they also found many cases where there was no documentation at all to back up what was being signed. And did the President, Joe Biden, approve of that? Here's Speaker Johnson. This is an unprecedented situation in American politics and government. The actions of President Biden simply were not all his own actions. And there are major implications to that, including all the pardons that he signed. Pardons there should be, in my opinion, null and void. So this raises the question, will there be accountability for this? Will there be accountability from those inside the White House that had access to the auto pen, that clearly abused that access to the auto pen? They hijacked America, for crying out loud. This is no higher power in government than the President's signature. And again, they hijacked that, too. Here's one more from James Colmer. Well, I know there's a lot of people frustrated that no one's been arrested yet or anything. Well, a lot of them were granted pardons. Well, now, you know, with our investigation, the pardons if the Department of Justice does what we've recommended, the pardons will be declared null and void. So there's nothing stopping the Department justice from going after the deep state. Well, wouldn't that be great if these pardons are null and void? And what a fight you're going to get in court. But I am sure any court would side with the fact that if the president did not know what the auto pen was signing, that it should be null and void. And quite frankly, I think the auto pen should be outlawed except for signing happy birthday cards to people who write letters to the White House. Anyway, here to discuss all of this is Texas Congressman who is on the House Oversight Committee. Michael Cloud is with us. Congressman, great to have you back on the show.
- [04:17]
B
Well, thanks. Good to be with you.
- [04:19]
A
All right, Congressman, so first off, you're part of this investigation. You hear all the testimony, your response and reaction. I guess now that you have all the information in and the reports out.
- [04:31]
B
Yeah. What we're finding out is what the American people have suspected all along. You know, when Biden was in the White House, everybody was wondering who was really running the country. That was the big question. And what we're finding out as we get through this investigation is the fact that that Biden was not running the White House in many regards. And the fact that the so many pardons issued without his knowledge is very telling. And then it's telling also the ones that he did know about, he knew about Hunter Biden's it's the only one with video proof. And somehow Hunter Biden was advising on all the pardons. I mean, so it shows you just the kind of corruption and wheeling and dealing that was going on. And the fact that, you know, the politicos were running and advising on the doctor not to have a cognitive assessment all the time that this was going on. And, you know, it puts us in a position where finally we're able to go out of. The first step of accountability is transparency. So this provides the transparency that we need. We're calling on the DOJ to continue the review that they've already started to dig into this. And then we'll be able to follow up with the rest and those kind of things as we determine the criminality.
- [05:45]
A
So let's get right to the heart of this. Were you able to determine who was at the heart of this? Who was calling the shots? Who concocted this scheme with the auto pen?
- [05:58]
B
Well, it seems like a cabal of the administrative officials. We know in some regards it was emails coming from the White House Chief of staff, some even sent by his assistant potentially that was saying, go ahead, use the auto pin for this. And as the Chairman mentioned, yeah, the Biden's own DOJ was saying, this is probably not a good idea. We don't think this might stand up in court. You probably shouldn't use this for legal terms. And this is exactly what's going on that we're finding out right now is that these are not going to have the legal merit. And so that opens up a whole new question. A number of the people to get pardons, for example, was the January 6th committee that the House Dems had set up. And we know they burned evidence as they were walking out the door that that's a criminal, criminal issue. And so we may have House members who come under review and are investigated on what happened there. Now that the pardons looks like will.
- [06:56]
A
Be lifted, was was there any possibility that a low level staffer could go rogue on this, could sign their own pardon for a friend or something like that? Or was it all orchestrated from this cabal of the leaders inside the White House?
- [07:13]
B
Well, we know that also included the political wing as well and somehow included Hunter Biden. And so how he got any sort of authority to advise on this sort of thing is very concerning, considering the mental situation he was dealing with and all the things that was going on. The fact that he was in the White House advising on anything is troubling, but the fact that he was in a sense running cover for his family. And during the last term we did a whole investigation on the shell game that was going on with what they were doing with millions and millions of dollars from foreign companies and, you know, to make sure that he covered his family on those pardons. But then, you know, everything else that's come out, the 4,000 pardons in just the last few days and only a handful, little handful that it seems like the President even knew about.
- [08:04]
A
Is there any way to criminal, criminally prosecute those behind the auto pen, the use of the auto pen, issuing so, and I think there were executive orders, you know, when the speaker told that story about the banning of liquefied natural gas and Biden didn't even know about it. I think there's executive orders that were pushed, it says illegally in the report by the House Oversight Committee, your committee, is there a way for the DoJ to prosecute those inside? And does this amount to a coup? I mean, you've basically stolen power from the President. United States States.
- [08:37]
B
Oh, exactly. And let's remember where the president gets that power, he gets it from the American people. The American people don't delegate it to the staff. They delegate it and invest that power into a president, a duly elected president, who then delegates it to the staff. And seems like the staff was delegating things to Joe Biden in the White House. And so, and a very limited thing, we all know how early they would call the lid, but definitely criminality here. It looks like. I mean, forgery, if nothing else, and conspiracy, all these different things that could come out of this. It's very troubling. This should not be happening in the United States. We're kind of in unprecedented waters here, unfortunately. And so the DOJ is going to be working and continuing to work to dig in this. Dig into this as we continue to work to investigate it as well and bring transparency.
- [09:25]
A
You mentioned the White House chief of staff. That would be Ron Klain and Jeff Zienst, depending on what part of the presidency we're talking about. Were both of those men responsible and behind this?
- [09:37]
B
It looks like Jeff Zane's for sure was. You know, the emails came from his account later in the term. Most of these came out in the last three months, mind you. Now, the use of the auto pin started on day five of the Biden presidency. And so a lot of the executive orders came out. So this is, you know, goes. Looks like it goes back to the very beginning of his presidency. We all know that he stayed in the basement during the campaign, somehow pulled off his miraculous victory, and then immediately upon assuming office, begins to use the auto pin or his administration does for executive action. And so this is troubling. I feel like we're only at the beginning of this even as this investigation is coming out. And it doesn't even pass the sniff test for sure.
- [10:25]
A
No, it sure doesn't. The report seems to be very thorough. I've gone through most of it and I appreciate you coming on to talk about it. Any updates on this, Congressman, please bring it to us. We always appreciate when you come on the program.
- [10:36]
B
Yeah, thanks so much, Grant.
- [10:38]
A
Absolutely. All right, so, folks, we turn from that, of course, to the budget battle going on as Congressman Cloud knows all about. What is this really about? It's about socialized medicine. It's about Obamacare and getting a single payer system. That's what the Democrats ultimately want. So when you talk about the Obamacare and the subsidies, the amount of fraud is insane. Listen to Senator John Thune auto enroll people. They go out and sign them up so they can get paid. You Have a lot of people who don't even know they have coverage. So more than half of the people that have insurance through this program never filed a claim last year. I mean, this is a program where they took the lids off. There's no income limits. Now you can make $600,000 a year and qualify for this. So it's a program in desperate need of reform. I want to make this very clear. From 2018 to 2021, under Obamacare, about 18% of enrollees would never file a claim. Not a lab test, not a doctor's appointment, not a prescription medication. About 18% in 2021, after Covid. And they push these extra subsidies. In the Biden subsidies, the number jumps from 18% to. To 35% of those enrolled don't file a claim. Why? I believe, like Senator Thune said, many people don't even know they were enrolled in all of this. Maybe there were phantom patients enrolled and rogue insurance brokers are making all kinds of money and the insurance companies don't care because guess what, they're getting paid directly from the government. Well, here to discuss all of this is former Deputy Assistant Secretary for health at the U.S. department of Health and Human Services. David Mansdorfer is with us. David, welcome to the program.
- [12:31]
C
Thanks for having me.
- [12:33]
A
All right, David, it seems to me ripe for fraud, especially when the payments never even go through the patient. It goes straight to the insurance company.
- [12:43]
C
Oh, absolutely. And if we remember right, the gov. The Democrats are holding the government hostage for enhanced subsidies that were never supposed to be permanent. We had the original subsidies that came out in 2010 with the original Affordable Care act, and then they were enhanced during and immediately after Covid. And now we have millions of federal workers and people whose livelihoods are on the line being held hostage because the Democrats are trying to extend a temporary program during our CR battle.
- [13:21]
A
David, you're right. We were told back when they pass that this was just going to be temporary. But as Ronald Reagan says, it's easy to to put government programs in place. Very easy to. Not so easy to get rid of them. This seems to be an example of that.
- [13:38]
C
Absolutely. 35% of people don't even use these, the Affordable Care act plans that they supposedly have. Imagine that in terms of a private sector company, which company could continue to sell you a product if one third of you chose not to continue using that product or even use it once. To me, it's just rampant with fraud, waste and abuse.
- [14:05]
A
So we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of premiums being paid for patients or enrollees that don't even use them. I think many of them are probably phantom or fake. The brokers are getting rich off of this as well as the insurance companies. The Democrats don't want to talk about waste, fraud and abuse. And am I right They've got about $1.5 trillion increases that they want to add to the budget here as this battle is going on and the government shut down.
- [14:34]
C
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of a unique position for the party and be to be trying to spend more money during a clean what's called continuing resolution battle to keep the government open. Right now we are fighting over a temporary program to essentially keep these ACA enhanced subsidies moving forward. How many people's lives are being impacted today because they're not being paid or not going to be paid as of next week because the Democrats are holding the government hostage for again, a temporary program.
- [15:11]
B
Yeah.
- [15:12]
A
Do you have a prediction at all of when we might see an end and the Democrats relent?
- [15:20]
C
Well, really it, a lot of it depends on the paychecks. Paychecks go out on the 1st and so that will be a significant day. But given everything that's happening right now, this could very well be the longest shutdown in government history.
- [15:37]
A
Yeah, it's amazing that they're sticking with it. Polling really shows that they're not doing well over this either. I appreciate you coming on the program tonight. I really do. David, thank you for laying this out for us.
- [15:50]
C
Thank you, sir.
- [15:52]
A
Absolutely. There was. You know what? I have it right here. There was Harry Entens to show you what CNN is talking about. This is cut 17, guys. If you get that ready for me. This is how bad it is for the Democrats when CNN's pollster admits it's going bad for the Democrats. When we're looking at the Republican Party overall, that brand actually up two points. That's within the margin of error, but clearly it hasn't dropped. Come over this side of the screen. Look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. It's actually up 5 points since pre shutdown. So what we're seeing here is the Republican brand in Congress has actually improved somewhat compared to where we were pre shutdown. Despite the fact the Republicans control that guy on cnn. He's going to be fired soon. CNN doesn't want to hear that coming out of his mouth. But it's the truth. The bottom line is Washington's broken and it's been broken for a really long time. I go all the way back to the Tea Party. When I ran for Congress in 2011 into 2012, it was time to throw the swamp creatures out, the rhinos, Republicans in name only, needed to go. And Obamacare was at the heart of that Tea Party fight. We could have gotten rid of this a long time ago and it never happened. Speaker Johnson took a walk down memory lane. We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. You remember that John McCain famously did the thumbs down and effectively by a one vote margin, the whole effort was, was defeated. It's a great frustration of mine and has always been of President Trump's. And we know that American health care needs dramatic reform. You know, folks, it's easy to say that and I like Speaker Johnson. I think he's got a tough job, but I don't know, I don't think anybody had the fortitude back then to actually do away with it. Here now to discuss all of this is Purple Heart recipient, two time US army combat veteran and founder of the Rhino Project. You know him online as Steve Loves Ammo. Steve, welcome to the program.
- [18:03]
D
Thank you so much for having me this evening.
- [18:05]
A
Well, it's great to have you on. I love this group that you founded, the Rhino Removal Project. I can't think of anything better and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the rhinos going back for as long as I can remember, Steve.
- [18:19]
D
Absolutely. And I'm glad you brought that clip of Speaker Johnson talking about the Affordable Care Act. Conservatives have a short memory. Back in Trump's first term, he had the campaign promise to repeal the Affordable Care act and we had a Republican red House and Senate. It passed the House, but it narrowly failed in the Senate. And what we're noticing right now is the same rigamaroo, the same repeated politicians that are in power making all these promises. And what we do at Rhino Removal Project, we're America first patriots and we're sick and tired as as many Americans are with the national debt. We're over $43 trillion in national debt and there's no end in sight. You have these politicians that are in power and they're sending money overseas time and time again and we are just, we're tired of it.
- [19:10]
A
Rand Paul offered up what he thought of doing it something different. And clearly Washington needs to do things differently when it comes to negotiating these budgets. Run that cut for me. I believe it's cut 14 of. In exchange for that, I think the Democrats need to open the government for a month and then we need to pay the workers, pay our soldiers, and then I think we could come to a solution. But there has to be something different. It can't be the same old, same old, because just subsidizing insurance raises the cost of insurance, enriches the insurance company, and we're still, you know, behind the eight ball as far as insurance cost. Unfortunately, what I wanted to get was the beginning of that. As he says, President Trump ought to appoint a six person panel, three Republicans, three Democrats to get in a room and hash things out. They've never really done anything like that, where the President would be appointing them. The Democrats would never agree to it. But your thoughts on doing things differently?
- [20:07]
D
So at Rhino Removal Project, we understand the left, they won't change, they'll vote blue no matter who. They won't hold their own elected officials accountable. And at Rhino Removal Project, we have a different objective. We want our elected leaders, our representatives to support us, and they should. As a disabled veteran and combat vet, I once swore an oath to United States Constitution and the American people. And it's about time that our elected officials do the same.
- [20:36]
A
Do you think it's getting any better?
- [20:41]
D
I do not believe so. I, we see this over and over again. Go ahead.
- [20:46]
A
No, I'm with you. I do think there's pockets of men and women who are slowly getting elected that are better than, than the previous ones. But it's not at a point where, where we're in the clear yet. Who are some of the Rhinos you would like to see ousted next time during the election?
- [21:04]
D
Shelly Capito would be a good one. Lindsey Graham, I know he was endorsed by Donald Trump, but there's some Dan Crenshaw, John Cornyn, those are on our target list. And if you guys visit our website@rhinoremovalproject.org we do have what's called a Rhino scores where we use API data, we use liberty scoring, their, their, but how much their net worth and we, we rank them. So we have 12 that we're essentially after right now.
- [21:31]
A
Well, you could throw Joni Ernst on the list. You could throw Susan Collins on the list. I love the. Dan Crenshaw is on your list. He's a big problem. And I'm with you about John Cornyn. He's, you know, our senator from Texas here. I'm a big Ken Paxton guy. And Steve, you got a lot of work ahead of you, but you run a great social media platform. Steve loves ammo. If you have the success with Rhino Removal Project as you do on social media, we're going to be in a good spot. And Steve, thank you for your service to this country and all you've given up for us.
- [22:02]
D
Thank you so much for having me.
- [22:04]
A
Absolutely. It's a pleasure. Keep us posted on how this goes. Anything we can do to help you. Believe me, we're all about removing riders.

Here's a question for you. Should President Trump meet with Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea? He's offered up a meeting there. You know, before President Trump's first meeting with Kim Jong Un, I would have said, no, don't meet with him. But now that he's already met with him, the whole controversy surrounding a meeting to me is a moot point. I think it's better be talking to our enemies than ignoring our enemies. I'M not too worried about Kim Jong Un Un. But I think the old saying, keep your enemies closer is probably a good deal. We'll see. If this meeting takes place, you know, it'll send the liberals through the roof just because they want to criticize President Trump. But President Trump is a dealmaker. What do we call him, the Monty hall of international trade? He made a deal yesterday with the Prime Minister of Japan to start making sure that we have rare earth minerals, something we are behind the eight ball on. This is President Trump talking about Japan. But tonight, I'm more confident than ever that the friendship between the United States and Japan is strong, as strong as it can be, and it's thriving, it's prosperous, and it'll soon be, I think, greater than ever before. Well, this is because President Trump knows how to not just entertain people, but he knows how to get to the heart of the emotions and what drives people's way of thinking. This is why he is such a great negotiator. He knows what the other side wants. He knows how to give them the appearance that they're getting something great when in the end, it's America that's winning. And I think this deal on the rare earth minerals with Japan is a win win for both sides. This is Congresswoman Letlo earlier on Real America's Voice talking about President Trump as a dealmaker.
- [26:01]
F
Nobody does it better than President Trump. He truly knows how to make those deals and impactful deals for our country. You know, I tell all of my constituents here, just hang tight. He is a master of the deal. He knows what he's doing, and it will pay off for the American people.
- [26:20]
A
Well, it better, because leadership before President Trump put us behind the eight ball. Why aren't we mining rare earth minerals here? We have them, and yet you don't see anything coming out of the ground. The United States, President Trump, of course, is trying to change that. Roll cut seven for me.
- [26:38]
B
We have rare earth minerals in the ground in America.
- [26:41]
A
What we gave up and that we need to get back is the ability to process those rare earth minerals and.
- [26:48]
B
Make them into products.
- [26:51]
A
Really, everything that has a switch, Charles, needs a magnet.
- [26:56]
B
And so that's an area where we.
- [26:58]
A
Can exponentially change our ability to be.
- [27:01]
B
So distant, dependent on China, and chart our own future.
- [27:08]
A
Wouldn't that be great? I want to bring in to discuss all of this, the CEO of Patriot Critical Minerals Corporation, Brody Sutherland is with us. Brody, welcome to the program.
- [27:20]
G
Thank you for having me.
- [27:22]
A
All right, so is it true? Do we really have minerals Here in the United States, specifically, these rare earth minerals everybody talks about, can we get them out of the ground? I imagine that's what your company's all about. But what's the legitimate take on all of this?
- [27:38]
G
We do have them here, and for decades, the focus has been on allowing other countries to develop them for us. What we're seeing now is a major shift in that, and what we're hearing from the government is that we are behind. We need to catch up. We have these materials, these metals, these minerals here. Let's start developing them. And what we're seeing is unprecedented in terms of the amount of support that's there for these types of projects.
- [28:07]
A
All right, when we talk about rare earth minerals, we're talking about things used for car batteries and really specifically AI chips and other electronic devices. How quickly could your company start to get these minerals out of the ground in the United States? I mean, maybe a better question is, what do you need from President Trump and the federal government to start to make this happen? Right away? Yeah.
- [28:29]
G
I mean, we're focused on a critical metal called tungsten, and it's vital for national security because of its applications in military defense. And we have an incredible asset in Nevada that we can bring online very quickly within the next three years. But in order to do that, we do need support from the government to be able to go through permitting. There are, luckily, mechanisms in place to help with that already, but we need full support as we advance through that.
- [29:01]
A
All right, so tungsten used for armor piercing, munitions, other very, very strong metals. Big in the defense industry, correct? Brody?
- [29:13]
G
Absolutely. I mean, that's. That's why it's a critical metal. Also massive in manufacturing. Basically, anything that's metal that's been manufactured, it's been cut by a tungsten carbide bit. And then we're seeing numerous new applications. Semiconductors, energy, nuclear fusion, the list goes on. And we just need these metals. We haven't produced any of it for over a decade.
- [29:38]
H
Wow.
- [29:39]
A
All right, so you're talking about a mine in. In Nevada. We could. We could get that out of. Permitting is always an issue. If we need tungsten today in America right now, for any of those applications you just mentioned, do we have to go to China? Is that who we're going to?
- [29:55]
G
That's where we went. All the tungsten that the US Uses is imported. And earlier this year, China banned all export of it. They controlled 83% of the tungsten market, much like the rare earths. They control 90% of that market. That needs to change. And it starts by opening up the doors for development here at home.
- [30:19]
A
All right, this is an economics professor, a former Reagan White House guy, Steve Hanke. Cut eight for me, guys. And I want to get your response to this because he basically says that President Trump knows we're behind the eight ball in this and may tread a little lighter when it comes to China because of it. Listen, I think Trump is backing off mainly because somebody whispered in his ear and told him that, you know, with the critical materials and the rare earth position that China has, they could basically.
- [30:55]
G
Shut the west down.
- [30:56]
A
And I think six to nine months, China could basically shut the west down. Do you think that's true, Brody?
- [31:06]
G
I think it is if we don't hurry up and get caught up here. And I think that's the big message. And you know, these deals that we're seeing Trump make this week, you know, the big one with Australia last week, Japan, Malaysia, you know, it's all leveraging to buy them time. We need time to get these mines online. You can't turn a mine on overnight. It takes time. We can get caught up. There's no doubt, but there is truth into that statement.
- [31:35]
A
All right, Brody Sutherland, I appreciate you coming on. Good luck in your endeavors and getting that rare earth minerals out of the ground. We need you. It's an American mission. Brody Sutherland. So thank you for coming on tonight.
- [31:47]
G
Thank you. Appreciate it.
- [31:49]
A
Absolutely. All right, folks, we are only one week away from losing New York to a communist. We will get into that next. Stick with me.

Welcome back everyone. Mamdani the Madman is like this close to becoming the next mayor of New York City. It is really crazy because this guy would be a disaster. I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of New York City. I want to speak to the memory of my aunt.
- [33:40]
G
Who stopped taking the.
- [33:42]
A
Subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab. So now his aunt's the victim of September 11th. 3,000 people died that day. And by the way, total lie. His aunt was living in like Tanzania or something and apparently she doesn't even wear a hijab. We have a picture of her to prove it. So his aunt here doesn't even wear a hijab and she was living in Tanzania. So of course Mamdani then responded to that criticism of his lie. I was speaking about my aunt.

I was speaking about Ze Rafui, my father's cousin sadly passed away a few years ago. And for the takeaway from my more.

This race and in this city, to.

Be the question of. My aunt tells you everything about Andrew Cuomo. Tells you everything about him. He is a lying dirtbag that hates America and hates Americans. This is all part of the Islamic takeover of America. That I promise you. Now, why don't we just deport him? I laugh when I say that, but this is actually an idea. And at first thought, you can't deport him. He was naturalized in 2018. You can't just deport American citizens. But oh, but wait. Apparently he lied about his support for the Holy Land Foundation. You know, that was the group that was funding all those terror groups overseas. He lied about his love of coconspirators of the 1st World Trade center bombing before he's naturalized. If you fraudulently obtained a citizenship, you can be denaturalized, can't you? Congressman Ogles, who was on Steve Bannon's.
- [35:33]
D
Show, although it's in the kind of the 11th hour, I think there is the opportunity to review his status, to look at his forms, to see that he was actually aligned with the communist Marxist organization that's very anti American. That would have disqualified him from being a citizen.
- [35:50]
C
Therefore they could revoke it and send.
- [35:52]
D
His butt back to Uganda.
- [35:56]
A
It would have disqualified him, there's no doubt about that in my mind. I think that's a long shot from happening. So now my focus is on New Yorkers trying to drum some common sense into my home city. I don't like to tell people that anymore. And in some respects, if he doesn't win New York, you get what you deserve. But I know a guy who's fighting out there for Curtis Lewa. He's a friend of mine. Curtis Sliwa. And the guy fighting for Sli was a friend of mine as well. The patriot artist activist Scott Libado is back with us. Staten island native Scott, welcome back to the show.
- [36:33]
H
Gotta start off with this and I hope I don't piss people off, your fans, your friends. I am tired of everyone talking about this boogeyman. We all know how horrible he is. At this point in the game, there's only one option that New Yorkers have and that is to back Curtis Sleever. And I'm going to. You got to give me time to explain this. Everybody knows how horrible Ma' Am Dandy is. Everybody, we know that. Everybody knows that. So we need to focus on Andrew Cuomo who to me is public enemy number one. Because Ma' Am Dandy exists, and I say his name incorrectly on purpose, exists because of Mario Andrew Cuomo and Adams and Hochul and de Blasio. They created this element. So right now everybody's panicking, Panicking. And what we have are two different kinds of people in this city. All of these hoity toity high end folks like Megyn Kelly who does not even live here anymore. John Katsimides who owns wabc, a billionaire. Dov Hicken who was back in Curtis now moved to Cuomo. Bill Ackman, the list goes on and on. The New York Post, folks, let me fill you in a little something. The New York Post ain't the effing New York Post anymore. The same family owns that Farron Balance news network that is also back in Cuomo. It ain't the same people anymore. Now what I need to drive into you New Yorkers heads out there. And when I'm pointing at you, I mean you, me, the hard working New Yorker, because everybody I mentioned, all of these big wigs that are going for Cuomo, they have a home, a second home outside New York City. They have enough money to move out of this city tomorrow. Do you, as a New Yorker who bust your ass picking up garbage, driving people around, putting fires out, protecting people, driving the trains on and on. There are more of you. Are you and do you have enough money to move out of here tomorrow? No. They are suckering you people. Do you understand that? If you want to save this city and your livelihood, you must back Curtis Leeway. Now it's a split vote. Curtis isn't going anywhere. Stop telling him to jack out. The early voting started.
- [39:14]
A
Scott, let me show you this because I think people Are ignoring this. This is the head to head polls that has Curtis Sliwa closer than Cuomo is when they go head to head. So that's Sliwa. That's Cuomo. Sli was two points ahead of Cuomo. Why are they telling people for Sliwa to drop out when Cuomo is a serial killer? He's the guy that needs to drop out. He sent our loved ones into nursing homes only to get them killed during the COVID pandemic. This guy's a disaster. Do you have an answer for that?
- [39:57]
F
Yes.
- [39:58]
H
I have an answer for everything. And I'm tired of Megyn Kelly's all of them. For four generations, I'm in this city and for 40 years of my life, every day you know that I'm in the city streets fighting for my city. And the only one that does it more than me is Curtis Sleewer. For 50 years, the reason that people are going for Cuomo is because they are petrified, they are scared. And I am the only one besides Giuliani, Frank Morano, a handful of people that are trying to let people understand the situation. Man Dandy is going to win unless you stop that on the fence chicken mentality and back Curtis. It's a split vote. Cuomo. Let me finish. Cuomo lost the primary. He was out of it. He should have went off into the sunset, but he got back in to screw it. I told everybody it was Curtis's to win. He would wipe the floor with Mandambi head to head because it's the Giuliani effect, people, Democrats and independents own the votes here. And they did it in 93 for Giuliani. They would have done the same thing and they're going to do the same thing for Curtis. But everybody needs to get on board now.
- [41:08]
A
Well, Scott, there's nothing I could say that would put it any better than you just put it. The future of New York City is on the line with this election. As you say, the madman cannot win. Mamdani and Slee was your only choice. New York will be a disaster with Cuomo as well. And I hope New Yorkers wake up. I so appreciate. I know you're fighting hard for Curtis.
- [41:30]
H
Scott, let me slide this in, please, really quick. Let me slide this in real quick. People need to understand that they're trying to save this city by getting Cuomo in. Cuomo is kicking the can down the road. What he's going to do is create Mam Dandy to get more powerful. There'll be more of them in four years. It'll never end. Curtis is the only way to stop it in his tracks. There's still time. New Yorkers get on board now.
- [41:53]
A
I agree. God bless you, Scott Libato and God bless the people of New York. And if they make the dumbest decision of electing this Mamdani over Curtis Lewa some respects my home city, they're going to get what they deserve and it's going to get real bad. That I can guarantee. All right. How do you protect yourself when the taxman comes around? We will talk about that next.

Welcome back, everyone. We are following President Trump right now. That is of course Air Force One. He is getting set to depart Tokyo and we believe he's headed towards South Korea where he will attend a Asia CEO luncheon. And when that happens later on, we will. Hi, Cameron Kinsey. How are you? We will also be getting to Cameron Kinsey in just a moment, but we will be taking President Trump's comments from that CEO luncheon as well. All right, you saw her there on your screen. That is our good friend Cameron Kinsey, who is with Tax Network usa. Cameron, welcome to the program.
- [44:11]
F
Thanks for having me. Grant. Good to see you.
- [44:13]
A
Good to see you. I did, I thought maybe not hijacking the plane, but hijacking my show. You're out, Cameron.
- [44:22]
F
They're a little eager.
- [44:24]
A
That's okay. It's, it's great to see you. So again, Tax Network usa, I love when you come on to talk about this stuff because you've helped so many people. When the IRS comes calling, Tax Network USA is there. And when you get that letter, you got to do something about it. Right away, Cameron. Correct.
- [44:44]
F
Exactly, Grant. This is one of the most stressful things that Americans have to deal with. But luckily, you know, Tax Network USA is one of America's leading tax firms. We specialize in helping individuals and businesses really just take on the irs, whether that's audits, back taxes, wage garnishments, or. Or even dealing with unfiled returns. And so we have a team that includes CPAs, licensed attorneys that really just know how to deal with the IRS and how they operate and how to push back effectively. And so, you know, the truth is, Grant, unfortunately, the IRS does not care who is in charge politically. We've obviously seen them wean off a bit with Trump eliminating 25% of the workforce, but we've also seen them stay aggressive. And so our job is to just protect hardworking Americans that are having to deal with this ongoing issue who are getting crushed by maybe bloated, weaponized enforcement that we've seen in the past.
- [45:39]
A
Yeah. What do you do when you get a client and their books aren't in great shape or their paperwork's not up to snuff? How do you help them there?
- [45:49]
F
Well, we're not here to just file your taxes. We're here to fight for you. Because I think too many companies, Grant, they'll charge hefty upfront fees, they'll give you this cookie cutter advice, and then they'll really vanish when things get tough. But we're not that firm. We've helped Americans, you know, eliminate over a billion dollars in tax debt for our clients because, you know, we approach every single case strategically and personally, because it is. We know how much of a toll this can. This can be. And so we're not just another service provider. We share the same values of the people watching this show right now. Limited government, less bureaucratic nonsense, and protecting people from weaponized institutions. So that's the lens that we approach every single case with. We're not on their side. We're on. And so our goal isn't just to fix the problem for you. It's really just to get your life back on track.
- [46:41]
A
Typically, I know every case is different, but how long does the process take for someone, once they call you?
- [46:48]
F
Well, we try to make the tax prep simple and strategic. It starts with the direct consultation that is completely free. And if you decide that you want to move forward, we dig into your financial picture a little bit more. And so, you know, that's flagging every single deduction, fixing any errors that we may see going. Sure. Making that you're filing, making sure that you're filing filing is clean and accurate as well and audit proof. So you know, even though that deadline has passed, if you've gotten those letters that you did mention grant in the mail and think that there's something wrong with the previous return, now is the time to act.
- [47:21]
A
All right. Sounds good. Let me tell people how they can find you and and the team over Tax Network USA to get started with one of their tax experts. Here's what you have to do. Visit tnusa.comforward/rav or call 1-800-905-8000. That's 1-800-905-8000. All right, we were talking about mom Donnie. And one of the things you know why he's bad news is from the people he surrounds himself with, like aoc.

We are not the race ones new. We are not the Alabama New York City they want us to think we are. Really.

She's Bonkos Coco for Cocoa Puffs. And it gets even worse. I'm gonna play one more clip even though I'm coming up on the break, but it's worth it. AOC again.

Jews escaping Holocaust, black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow. Latinos seeking a better life. Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in Queens, in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in Manhattan, in Staten island, in this country.

That's your next New York senator, New York mom Donnie and AOC in the Senate. Schumer's got to be saying, I'm losing to this guy gal. Whatever. I mean, Lord, she's off the chain. What's she on, by the way? Hyped up on something, right? All right. The Biden press secretary DEI Higher once again reminds us why she is black and queer. Wait a second, is that her? She's also got a new haircut.

Well, Karine Jean Pierre is making her rounds. Boy, I haven't said her name in a long time. That's what happens when you're Joe Biden, Biden's press secretary, and then Joe Biden loses or steps down, is out of office, out of his mind, really. You fall into kind of oblivion. Well, she's got a book out and of course, she's making the rounds on all the leftist channels. Here's what she said about her time with Joe Biden. I woke up every day very proud.

To be the White House press secretary.

I woke up every day as a. As a. A black woman who is queer, who had never.

No one had ever seen someone like me at that podium, standing behind that lectern. It was an honor and a privilege.
- [51:18]
A
To have that job. There's been a lot of gay people at that podium, by the way, and President Trump has had them there. Scott Bessant's openly gay. You got a whole slew of other administration officials inside the Trump administration. I don't know why she's thinking this is some, like, unique thing. The only thing unique about her was that she didn't know what she was doing. I think she was the first press secretary to be awful, just absolutely awful. That's gonna do it for us. I'm Grant Stitchfield. Thanks for watching, everybody. Stitchfield's army rolls. We'll see you tomorrow night. This is an iHeart podcast.
