Transcript

[A]

This is an I heart podcast. Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. No deal with Senate Democrats. So the congressional budget situation will continue. Government shutdown. We're going to get to that a little bit later in the show, I guess. The most breaking news this evening is Sean Diddy Combs guilty on the prostitution charges, not on the sex trafficking charges. Which is what I told you. I told you he'd skate on the trafficking charges. They just didn't have a case there. So what happens to Diddy? Well, apparently he broke down crying during the sentencing portion of all of this. Seemed remorseful by most accounts there. But the judge still sentenced him to four years. What does this mean? Did. He's already served a year in prison. Federal time says you'll get. You get to do half time. So he's got the situation of two years left. He's already served a year. I'll get credit for that. My assessment is he'll be out in just over a year, maybe even less if everything goes his way here. Now, I'm not going to spend an entire segment talking about Diddy. There's a lot of networks out there doing it. I don't know why. We got more important things to talk about, like out of control mob, lunatics and police going after the wrong people. We turn to Portland, Oregon, folks. Um, these lunatics that have taken to the street in Portland, first and foremost, this is what really makes them. Makes me despise them. Watch this. We got a Trump supporter.

[B]

We got a Trump supporter right here.

[A]

Oh, he's putting it on the ground and he's making it worse. They're burning an American flag. And who steps in to save the day? Our man, Nick Sorter. You see him on this program all the time. Frequent contributor. Heck, I'd call him a team member, really. He's on this show so much lately, he saves the flag, puts the fire out. You think the guy's a hero, right? Pro America. Then what else happens to Nick? Ultimately, the guy gets arrested, but not before Antifa tries to beat him up. Look very carefully at this video. A shot from a rooftop. Nick is in the gray sweatshirt that you see. They literally are attacking him on the streets here in Portland. He's doing everything he can do to get away and does. But what do you think happens to Nick Sorter? I could not believe this when I woke up this morning. This is what happened to him. He got arrested. So Portland police put a man who is literally pro police, pro America, pro constitution, pro law and order, and he's exposing Everything that is anti constitution and anti law and order and the cops arrest him. What in the world is going on now? Well, in order to get some answers to this, let's go to the guy who it all happened to, our man, our buddy, investigative reporter, conservative newsbreaker, Nick Sorter. Nick, you are the news tonight. Welcome to the program. I'm sorry you went through this, but welcome, my friend.

[B]

I appreciate it, Grant. I had to actually move away from the spot that I planned on doing this, sue, because I. I got recognized again and they're not. Not particularly nice to me. So, you know, so I moved back. It's much more quaint, much, much quieter back here. No megaphones, no people trying to, you know, push me into holes and steal my camera, which is broken. So I mean, I guess they can have it.

[A]

And no cops trying to put you in handcuffs. What in the world happened? Take me through it.

[B]

I mean, it all comes down to the fact that the, the antifa. I'll use my words here carefully, folks. The antifa folks, they don't like to be recorded to begin with, right? They definitely don't like to be recorded after they've been maced and are crying like, like little on the ground and. But as a journalist, it's my First Amendment right, actually, just as an American, it is my First Amendment right to record them in public. I don't really care if they don't want to be recorded. If they're going to be in public, I can record them. And I don't take too kindly to people trying to push me out of the way and assault me because they don't like the fact that I'm exercising my First Amendment right just, you know, by myself. I'm not yelling at them, I'm not disturbing them. I'm just there with a camera. And then it devolves into that. They don't know how to handle situations without violence. These are very violent people. A lot of them are not just antifa, but tran tifa. And we know all about the trans violence in this country that is, you know, an epidemic at this point.

[A]

Nick, how does it end up with the police arresting you and not the goons you were recording?

[B]

Yeah, and so that's a question that we don't have the answer to. I mean, we can speculate. I believe that it was a targeted. Actually, I mean, I know it was a targeted arrest. They said it was a targeted arrest. That was their term, not mine. But I believe that they went into the situation wanting to arrest me. They came up with the charge later. It took them over an hour to decide what they were going to charge me with while I sat in the back of the police car on the side of the road. This thing reeks. It absolutely reeks. They wanted me to go to jail, and as soon as they arrested me, all of them left the area. So tell me why they were actually there.

[A]

What did they charge you with, Nick?

[B]

Disorderly conduct. Which is really ironic given the disorder that has been plaguing this area for over 100 days straight now outside of this ICE facility. So, I mean, it's just. It's so pathetic. They're not even really trying to hide the fact that this is a political prosecution.

[A]

How long did they make you stay in lockup before being able to get out? Did you have to bond yourself out? Or they let you go on your own recognizance? Because every other criminal in Portland doesn't have to post bond.

[B]

Yeah. So about six hours. They made me sit there for no reason besides the fact that they knew they were going to release me on my own recognizance. Right. But they. They stalled and delayed as long as humanly possible until DHS got involved. Kristi Noem started sending agents over to the jail, so. So they had to eventually make a move. But this was like an all hands effort on. On behalf of the administration, and I definitely appreciate that. And I want to keep this momentum up to actually make change here in Portland. I mean, it's. You heard Caroline Levitt talking about it earlier today. I just heard that Kristi Noem believes that the National Guard will be here within 24 hours. I mean, they're all hands on deck now.

[A]

All right. Pam Bondi sends a letter to Portland demanding answers about why you were arrested. You heard Caroline Levitt. I believe we have a clip from Caroline Levitt. We'll play that and then get your response on this. Let's roll the Caroline Levitt clip where conservative journalist Nick Sorter was captured on video being taken into custody custody by the Portland police after he was ambushed by Antifa and was defending himself from these assaults. But instead of arresting these violent mob members night after night after night who are ravaging this community, the police arrested a journalist who was there trying to document the chaos. And everyone in this room should be extremely concerned about that. The Department of Justice spoke with that journalist this morning and they will be launching a full investigation into his arrest. Nick, you gotta be pretty amazed. You've got the president's spokesperson talking about you. I mean, in Portland and coming to the rescue. And I'm glad they are. You, well deserve to come to the rescue because you've been unbelievable in exposing this craziness. But are you, I mean, just in a daze right now after this?

[B]

Oh, I'm in a daze because I wasn't allowed to sleep last night. That's more or less why I'm in a daze. You know, I, I'm glad that, that they're using this situation to do what's right and come in here. Like I'm not the only one, Grant, that has been going through this here in Portland. I'm just the one with the largest platform that's I've been able to have the voice to come out and expose it. Right. There's so many other innocent people here that have been prosecuted by the woke das and the woke police chief out here. And you know, they just unfortunately didn't have the voice. So I'm proud to be able to use that to not, you know, help just me, but the other people that are going through the same thing. I think this DOJ investigation is going to expose a lot of that.

[A]

I think it will as well. It should. Let me play another clip for you. This is what one of your call her coworkers works a different organization, but same thing exposing the antifa lunacy. Her name's Katie Davis Court. She basically gets attacked and hit. Nobody arrested who did this to her? Watch this. Stop twerking that ass. Ryan, don't.

[C]

Oh, she just, she just hit me in the face.

[A]

All right guys, play the next clip too. Cuz Katie talked about this. She got a black eye. Nick, watch this. Katie, first of all, are you okay, Jack?

[B]

I'm doing fine.

[A]

As you guys can see, I clearly have a massive black eye. And the police said absolutely nothing. Last night I tried to hunt them down to hold the suspect accountable. And they just said that it is too dangerous for them to go in and make an arrest.

[B]

So.

[A]

Nick, you put out somebody burning an American flag, you try to videotape lawbreakers and lunatics and she gets smashed in the eye. They arrest you, but not the person that smashes her in the eye. None of this makes any sense, Nick.

[B]

And they even follow. It's not like they didn't know who the person was. The police were following the assailant that, that, that hit Katie with a pole. So they could have arrested her on the spot. They chose not to. They chose not to. I mean, I, I could name, you know, over and over and over again all of these examples of double standards. It's. It's crazy. And it should be obvious to anybody that is not totally brainwashed or the left.

[A]

Let me play one more. Nick Shirley. I'm sure you know him. He's out on the streets all over the place as well. Watch this. It really does just. Hey, what was that for? It really does feel like you're just a little kid. Somebody just came and charged me from the back. I mean, I'm literally speechless, and I'm not often left speechless again, the. Whoever did that skates.

[B]

Yeah, of course. So. And the police were probably standing there watching the same thing too, when I got assaulted on the. On the street two days ago, or I was pushed and encircled and there were police standing. I mean, within like 25ft of us. They did nothing, of course.

[A]

All right. Something changed. Okay, I know you have to go. And I want to ask this last question because I asked it a Ben Berkworm or real America's Voice correspondent who does a lot of what you do. I said, do you think in cities like Portland especially, has this liberal lunacy infected the police department? Because often I know Chicago cops want to do the job, New York City cops want to do the job. I'm not sure Portland cops want to do the job. They've been like, infiltrated from the inside by these left wing radicals.

[B]

I mean, yeah, I would say so at this point. And because a lot of them resigned in, you know, after the 20. The good ones resigned back in 2020. There are some good ones. I'm sure I haven't found them. And trust me, I've dealt with plenty of them now. And, you know, I mean, they're nice and all, but look, at some point you have to prioritize your country and your principles and your morals. Like, you can't work for a police department that is going to, you know, politically persecute people that the. That the top brass of DEI hires and such you know, despise. I mean, why would you do that? I wouldn't do that. I don't care how much you pay me. You couldn't get me to do that. I would quit. So I don't know why, you know.

[A]

Are you back there tonight?

[B]

I am. So. Yeah. Stay tuned.

[A]

So, Nick, you're amazing, buddy. You know, I knew this morning, I said, I bet you if he gets out, I said to my producer, I said, I bet you he comes on with us. You've been so great to us. You've been doing such fabulous work. We wish you the best and anything we can do to help you. You know, we're there for you, but you got the power of President Trump on your side. It's about as big as it gets. Nick, thank you. Be safe tonight, okay?

[B]

I appreciate you, Grant. Thank you, sir.

[A]

Absolutely. All right, that's the great next order. Nick Sorter at. Nick Sorter is where you could follow him. Hey, a quick note on Memphis. Look, Washington, D.C. is doing great. Memphis, we get this state task force going in with like 15 federal agencies, 158 arrests in just 72 hours in Memphis, taking all kinds of guns off the streets to get the job done. Things aren't going as well in Chicago. Why? Because Chicago doesn't want the help. The governor of Chicago doesn't want the help. But I will say this. The governor of Illinois. Excuse me. The governor of Illinois, Jay Pritzker, finally said, okay, you know what? The police, they police. Let's get these protesters, these radicals, these rioters under control. Things got ugly pretty quickly today. So as you can see, it's like a total melee, which I'm glad they're starting to try to get things under control. But the pushback from these rioters is insane. It's as if they don't care. One reason they act like this is because they want to play to the mainstream media. Take a look at this. This is them. Okay, Having a news. Sounds great. Not so much. Look at all the cameras. There's more cameras than there are people involved in the news conference with their stupid signs that they had. You got, what is it, 12 or more cameras there. So, again, just unbelievable. All right, so were you looking at that? Dozens of cameras there. Do the people of Chicago want change? I mean, you would hope so. I mean, they have. I don't know, it's like 42 people shot already this week. We haven't even gone into the weekend in Chicago. Let's bring in Chicago, host of the podcast Behind Enemy Lines. Our friend Terry Newsom is back with us. Terry, welcome back to the show.

[D]

Hey, Grant. Thanks for having me back, sir.

[A]

I guess, Terry, first off, tell me where you are. I see you got some folks behind you. What's happening there?

[D]

Yeah, yeah, we're at the Broadview center, actually. Christine Olm was here today. And this is the detention center for ICE in the western suburbs on the border of Chicago. So this morning, there was tons of officers. Today was the first time ever that Pritzker allowed the Illinois State Police to help. And they were a wall of big men with nightsticks. And they made a number of Arrests and matter of fact, before we jumped on here, they were walking by the show of force Illinois State Police with their riot sticks. So that's good news. They're finally being allowed to do their job. We're probably going to see more, more leftists that are going to pile up here and get ready for tonight at tonight about 7 o' clock to 9 is when it's supposed to get bad again. So we're going to see more people start.

[A]

Typically Terry, we see when the sun goes down. This is when the violence amps up. It was interesting to me as I was driving this morning listening to all of this unfold. I'm thinking, wow, it's 9:30 in the morning. I guess that had to do with Kristi Noem there and the agitators come out. Let me play a clip for you from Fox News. Them talking about the agitators and the possibility that they're paid and then I want to get your opinion on this. Listen, Yes, I do want to point out within the last 10 minutes we had several border patrol officers come up to us and they pointed out several individuals in the crowd that they were calling out as paid agitators, saying that those are two individuals that they were telling folks that are out here to demonstrate peacefully stay away from them if you want to avoid trouble because yes, Terry, what are you seeing? You've been in and amongst these people for, for a long time now.

[D]

Grant Absolutely. They're paid. Absolutely. So I have one example here I wish I would have known. I would have sent to you before they're last Friday there was a guy that looked like a school teacher teaching. It wasn't his first time. How to put on and apply your gas mask, you know, to fight ice, how to the right type of goggles as they're all sitting on the grass. The guy definitely looked like a professional teacher. I was at another location in Orland. Matter of fact we're being filmed right now by somebody from Orland that recognized me and they had people signing clipboards. They leave. I've at multiple locations throughout Chicago. Grant say the Protest goes from 4 to 6. Right. They leave at 6:01. You see them all leaving at 6:01. It's like they check out on their job. Sometimes we make fun of them, say don't you want to make overtime? They are absolutely a number of paid protesters here without a doubt. And then you have the professional paid antifa guys. The Hammond brothers were arrested last Friday. They are the top Chicago antifa leaders, internationally known packers, part of Anonymous, all they do are full time agitators that go to all the events. The one that Ben and I were at in the dnc, they're behind that. The no Kings, they're behind that. They were behind this until they got arrested last Friday.

[A]

Last question for you, Terry. There was a lot of talk of the National Guard coming into Chicago. What's the situation with that now?

[D]

Yes, I believe they absolutely are going to come to Chicago. I am pretty confident the people in Chicago want them. These are radical leftists, right? These are paid people. They're anarchists. Right. They look, because you said this about the media, right? They look like they're the loud majority. They're not the people. The minority people are scared to come out here. Grant, you know what's happening, right? So it's very few people that come out to counter protest because these people get violent. You know, they're going to get violent tonight and I promise you that, that that's going to happen. And the people of Chicago are tired of it. They are tired. They just have the courage and support that need to come out. Kristi Noem tried to use the Broadview City hall bathroom today. I don't know if you saw that. The mayor would not let her into City hall to use the bathroom. Christine. Oh, these are radical leftist, Marxist.

[A]

It's crazy. Terry Newsom, I appreciate the, the work that you do. You're always available to us. We're grateful for that. Please stay safe. I mean, you know, even when the sun's still, still up, these people can be very, very dangerous, as we, as we've seen. So be safe and keep us posted. Terry Newsom, thank you for your bravery.

[D]

Thank you, Grant. Appreciate it.

[A]

Absolutely, absolutely. We have the clip, by the way of Kristi Noem trying to get in to use the bathroom and them not letting her come into the bathroom. I mean, absolutely insanity. Take a look at this. All right, thank you.

[C]

Interesting.

[A]

That's what Governor Pritzker says is quite cooperation and keeping people safe. Now, folks, that's the Secretary of Homeland Security. She needs to use the restroom. You don't let her in. My lord. Governor Pritzker ought to be ashamed of himself for that. Now to a new talking point. And these radical rioters are using this. It's the white man is evil. The white man is the greatest threat to America. Not the case. Here's Don Lemon spouting this off. The greatest threat of political violence in America today is white men radicalized to the right. That is fact. No, it's not. You have all the transgender shooters, we could go through this. At least seven of them, which are radicalized leftists. Okay, maybe white, but radicalized leftists. You've got the Trump assassins, two of them. You've got the goon who killed Charlie Kirk. Okay, none of these people are radicalized right wing people. These are high profile killings and they're happening all over the place. Plus you've got minority on minority crime in places like Memphis, Chicago, Portland. Here's Don Lemon again. They turn it into a debate about what? About crime overall.

[D]

Because you have to deflect it somewhere.

[A]

I mean, you can't.

[D]

You got to keep your base.

[A]

Crime overall is an important thing to talk about. Chicago, 21 shot, five killed. The weekend isn't even here yet. All right, those are the numbers in Chicago. They don't want to talk about that though. Nobody does. MSNBC doesn't want to talk about the real stats where you talk about black folks in America. I hate to say it, 13% of the population, but they account for nearly 50% of the murders. Something is wrong there. And I'm not blaming it on the color of their skin. I'm saying we have an issue and typically black on black crime, 90% of black victims are victimized by black folks. And guess what? 90% of white folks are victimized by white folks. But the numbers are much higher in the minority communities. That's just fact. Yet MSNBC wants to concentrate on this, particularly cities with black leadership. Stephen Miller is known white nationalist and supports white supremacist ideology. And so the fact that our city is going to be targeted, that my.

[D]

Constituents and people who I care for.

[A]

Stephen Miller is a fabulous American patriot. He is not a white nationalist. He is not a racist by any means whatsoever. But what that guy just said was Stephen Miller's a Nazi. Go eradicate him from the face of the earth. Do you understand what they're doing by this crazy rhetoric about vilify villainizing the white folks? Sad place where we are right now, these left. The problem is the Democrats are spiraling out of control. They don't know what to do about it and they're grasping at straws now. All right, folks, listen up.

Here's the thing they keep saying they're not, they don't want health care for illegals. I'm going to prove it to you and show it to you in writing where that is no deal. Say Senate Democrats another vote fails. So we are still in a government shutdown. There's no negotiating to do. Literally the Republicans said, hey, we're just going to keep continuing to spend as we are spending right now and we'll figure it all out. As this continuing resolution comes to an end in six weeks from now around Thanksgiving, Democrats say no to that. It's the most unreasonable thing ever. They literally want to be putting illegal aliens back on the health care system. I want you to look at what CNN did to Speaker Mike Johnson when he went to spell out the facts. They cut him off. Now why are we saying that they want to return and restore taxpayer funded.

[D]

Benefits to illegal aliens?

[A]

Because that's exactly what they did when they rejected the clean CR that we sent over. The Senate filed the Senate Democrats. Speaker Johnson, he's trying to frame the shutdown as a Democratic shutdown. He also falsely claimed that Democrats want to give health care, extend health care to illegal immigrants. That is not true. No, no, no, no, that is true. And she says that they aren't eligible for, for health care. Well, in many respects that's correct because of the last bill that Republicans passed. Now Speaker Johnson was going to go on to explain. Hey, go to this page and you'll see the repeal. Go to H L1 please. This is highlight one for the guys behind the glass, if you could. This is the repeal, all right, the repeal, okay, of health care changes, specifically subtitle B of title seven. Now what is it trying to repeal? Put up the next one. It's trying to repeal a whole bunch of things like the ability for the government to verify income status, okay. Where you live and quote, whether the individual is an eligible alien. Okay? Now if you can't confirm that, if you can't look at the status of that, you can't verify that. Well then anybody can get it. And it's clear as day as to what they want to repeal. Well, I want to bring in now to discuss all this Heritage foundation senior fellow and Health care policy expert Ed Heisel Meyer is with us. Ed, welcome to the program.

[E]

Thanks for having me.

[A]

All right, so I think that the Democrats are being very disingenuous when they tell us that they are not talking about giving illegals health care, where literally the portion they want to repeal is how you would verify whether someone's illegal or not.

[E]

Oh, well, that's part of it. They would repeal the verification. There's a lot of stuff they would repeal, by the way. They would also repeal other provisions in there to just reduce outright fraud and abuse and waste. I mean, there's an entire provision that, you know, they, when they enacted Obamacare, they said, well, we'll give you some advanced subsidies. And, you know, if at the end of the year you reconcile it and we gave you too much, ah, keep the money. So they would actually make them pay the money back that they were gotten in properly. So there's a lot of stuff they would repeal.

[A]

So one of the things that we got from you guys over at the Heritage foundation is section 2141, what they would repeal. Oh, guys, this is. Throw it up on the screen, guys. Now, this is my biggest pet peeve, because I don't know how anybody at home is ever going to read that, so they could take it off the screen. I'm basically scolding folks here, but alien Medicaid eligibility, federal Medicaid match rate for emergency Medicaid and limiting Medicare coverage to certain individuals. Explain to me what this 2141 repeal actually does. Let's.

[E]

Let's back up and look at the immigration side of this. Okay? There is terminology, and you had some of this up there. Eligible alien is a term that's in this bill, but in some of the statute, there's lawfully present. Well, those are two different things. And what the Democrats had done, particularly under the Biden administration, was they played fast and loose with lawfully present. So, for example, someone comes here as a tourist on a tourist visa. Perfectly legal, perfectly legitimate. They are lawfully present. But that doesn't mean they qualify for benefits here. Well, that's how the administration under Biden played fast and loose. They would say, oh, well, yes, these people came across illegally, but we've paroled them, so they're lawfully present. And that's what this bill in July cracked down on. It said, no, no, no, we're gonna tighten this up and we're gonna clarify who is an eligible alien and who is not. And that's the part they want to repeal.

[A]

Now, Ed, am I Out of line. Am I heartless to think that we're really focused and the Republicans are doing a good job is framing it as illegal aliens getting health care. I think any reasonable person would say we don't want illegal aliens getting health care. Taxpayer dollars, I would hope. We know that. Many Democrats disagree with that. But this idea that if you're a legal, lawfully present alien, you get a work visa to come here, okay. Or you're going to get married, you've got approval from immigration to come with your husband who's an American citizen, but you're not an American citizen. I don't think any of these people should get health care. Why would we? If I go to France, they're not going to give me health care if I go to work there.

[E]

Well, so first of all, again, we have to be careful with the terminology because this is where, and I'm not the immigration expert, I just had to learn some of this from my colleagues who are immigration experts to deal with this. Somebody who comes here, for example, you get non American, marries an American, well, they become a legal permanent resident. That's different than lawfully present. If they're just here on a tourist visa, yeah, they're lawfully present, but they're not a legal permanent resident.

[A]

My point is, my point is the one getting married. But, but the person who's coming on a work visa, visa, okay.

[E]

People are coming on a work visa, people are getting married, people like that. The point is they can be legal here. But, and this is an interesting thing, one of the provisions that's been in the code for years is they have to have a sponsor who certifies that for five years they won't claim any benefits on Medicaid or Medicare or any of these public assistance, substance programs, welfare or anything else. So that's another provision in here that they tightened up.

[A]

And is that like this, is that happening? Because it seems to me like everybody's running fast and loose with our tax dollars when it comes to health care. Are we starting the process of cracking down on that five year provision that the Democrats want to run repeal?

[E]

Yes, yes. And, and, and, and other provisions as well. There was a, there is a lot that is fast and loose in these programs and the, the legislation. I mean, I think this is interesting. Yes, it's focused on the immigrants and particularly the illegals. But a lot of what was done in reconciliation in this section on health care that now the Democrats say they want to repeal entirely was to crack down on other kinds of abuses as well. Not Just by illegals, but by domestic abuses where people were lying about their income. You know, people were on the rolls in two different states. You know, each state was getting money for the same person. You know, all sorts of stuff in this.

[A]

Well, I don't see the Republicans, and honestly, I'm not often proud of Senate Republicans, but in this case, I'm telling them, hold the line, do not negotiate with Schumer. There's nothing to negotiate on. I'll give you the last word. You think we remain strong on this?

[E]

Yeah, no, I think, I think it will. I mean, the thing that I'm hearing from congressional staff is, look, if the Democrats had been serious about this, we would have already at the staff level have heard from their staff with specifics, and they never did. This was just, this is just messaging. And I think they're gonna, you know, I think they've got themselves in a messaging rut, frankly.

[A]

Yeah, Yeah, I agree with you. Ed Haselmeier, thank you so much for coming on today. We appreciate it.

[E]

Thanks for having me.

We will have our body language expert weigh in on all of this next. Welcome back, everybody. Time now for our body language segment. We all remember the Trump meme with Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and he throws the sombrero on them. You can see the freeze frame of that here. I'm not going to play it because we're going to save time. I won't ask him to do body language on a meme that's a generated. But let's do Hakeem now talking tough to Trump. And then we'll bring in our body language Expert, Greg Hartley. Mr. President, the next time you have something to say about me, don't cop out through a racist and fake AI video when I'm back in the Oval Office. Say it to my face. Say it to my Face. All right, that is Hakeem Jeffries. And let's bring in our favorite behavior expert, body language expert, former military interrogator, host of the behavior panel on YouTube. Greg Hartley is with us. Greg, welcome.

[C]

Hey, Grant. Yeah. What do you notice is if I'm angry, I'm angry. I'm telling, I'm pushing. My face is doing all that. This is all for show. I mean, all this whipping his hand and all that. Our brains are illustrating our thoughts with our hands, with our tone, with everything, and we get, we get a congruent message coming out. If a person's really angry, they're telling us how things are going to be. That's not what I see.

[A]

Do you think, Greg, that when Schumer and Hakeem first see this meme, do you think they laugh first and now try to pretend to be angry about it?

[C]

Well, they probably giggled. And they may go and say, you know, this is the worst thing any president's ever done. You know, what came to mind for me immediately is if this is what Trump's doing in the shutdown, it sure is a hell of a lot better than what Clinton did during shutdown.

[A]

It really is. All right, let's go to Schumer now on the Senate floor as he accuses the New York Times of an anti Democrat bias. To the New York Times of all of all outlets. There are many more polls that show Republicans are blamed. The question in that poll is biased. Biased in the New York Times, but it's biased if you turn the. That's true. I don't always believe the New York Times. You can be sure of that. Neither do you. Okay.

[C]

Greg, look, everybody's seen a child with a hand in the cookie jar get caught and go. That's about what you saw there. He realizes that he, he just threw out something that was absolutely foolish. And watch his face. You can't miss that face. Look at that lip compression. And that quick go to. Oh, yeah, I shouldn't have said that one. And he's body gets all wooden. Yeah, he knows. He knows. That was a big mistake.

[A]

You know, it's interesting because, and I might be wrong here, but I'm trying to think of Schumer. When he's given a speech on the floor, he's often all right in here. You know, he doesn't really move around much. This is about as much as I've seen him moving around. Anything to that?

[C]

Well, yeah, I think he's trying to make a big case. Look, there's a big divide in what people believe in America right now. And he's trying to be the priest out front who's preaching the message for these guys. I think that's what you're seeing. And he's pointing to this and he's going to try to make a point that absolutely is ridiculous. And then he gets busted for it. You know, it's just a weird two very different views of what it means to be American right now.

[A]

Isn't that the truth? Well, here's what I'm going to do for you. I'm going to play another one with a very different view of what it means to be American. Crazy Maxine Waters, congresswoman from out in California. This was an interview. We actually did a bunch on this with a young lady who was interviewing her. We had her on the program earlier in the week. Roll that clip of Maxine Waters. Mad Max here. Do Democrats want to prioritize the health.

[D]

Care of illegal aliens over a government shutdown?

[A]

Because if the government does shut down America. 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.

[C]

Greg, so you and I have talked about Nancy Pelosi doing this a dozen times. It's chaff and redirect. What we mean by chaff and redirect when an aircraft dumps all these flares and that kind of thing to avoid a missile, has a missile follow one of them. That's what she's doing. Look at those fingers extended. She's, she has a canned message she wants to deliver here. We're not trying to do this. We're trying to keep the government open. Don't believe that for a minute. However, what she's going to continue to do. I saw this earlier. What she's going to continue to do is to spew more data until she gets back on a message that she's positive about and she can say something. That's classic politician.

[A]

Stop right there. It's really something else. She's, she's a piece of work. You mentioned Nancy Pelosi. We have a clip of Nancy Pelosi here. She was asked about AOC kind of running the whole show here when it comes to this government shutdown. She wasn't happy about that. Directing that. She's wonderful. She's a real, a team player in the race. You started by saying Republicans saying that she's directing this. She is not. Hakeem Jeffries is. And this Takes a lot of experience, a lot of unity from the caucus. In terms of the point of view. I kind of miss running Pelosi soundbites. Truthfully, just like Biden sound bites. I miss those two. Greg.

[C]

Well, look at her hands. She's doing some incantation. What we use our hands for is to illustrate what we're thinking as we move. Great speakers.

[B]

Do it.

[C]

You'll watch. You see people using their hands. What they don't do is miss all of the syllables, miss all the thoughts, miss all the words, and just wildly wave their hands around. You're casting some kind of spell. She's not punctuating what she's thinking. So probably in the back of her head something else is running while she's doing all this wild hand movement.

[A]

It.

[C]

But Nancy Pelosi can do some really outlandish stuff, so we'll just chalk it up to baseline.

[A]

Do you see a sign of her losing it here? Because, I mean, she used to be pretty sharp when it comes to some of this stuff.

[C]

She used to be masterful at what Maxine Waters just did, and that was to take it, run with it, spew out a lot of stuff. And she starts to, she starts to say, AOC is a wonderful person. And. But she stopped short. What she would have done five years ago is say she's a wonderful person. She's been backed into a corner. Boom, boom, boom. Start listing off all the things she dislikes about Republican policy and then shift gears and say, I'm here to save health care. We don't see that here. So there's probably a change.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Interesting to say the least. Last one. I'll do one. I want to run Pete Hagseth because he did such a great job at the. This was one of the best military speeches. I think you and I were texting about it. It was, it was great. As a military guy. Cut nine, roll that. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at.

[C]

Combat formations or really any formation and see fat troops.

[A]

Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country in the world. It's a bad look. It is bad. And it's not who we are. So whether you're an Airborne Ranger or a Chairborne Ranger, a brand new private or a four star general, you need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test.

[C]

All right, Greg, we always talk about messaging with your whole body, congruency telling with a downward tone, your hands moving, saying what you have to say asking for, for approval at the right times. You know, when I heard Trump stand up right behind him and say, I think I'll fire him because I don't want to follow him ever again, I thought that's a pretty smart move because this is one of the best speeches I've heard in a long time. And I'm from that 90s era Warrior culture that is gone now. When you see fat soldiers walking through the airport, that would never happen. 20 years ago, 30 years ago.

[A]

No. No, it certainly wouldn't. Great stuff. As always, Greg Hartley. We appreciate you coming on. Enjoy the weekend. I want to tell people where they can find you. Thank you. All right, folks, go to Greg's website, read body language.com and if you like what you saw right here, go to his YouTube show, the behavior panel. It's great, I promise you. All right, folks, gold is up 40% this year. That's not speculation, that's reality. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat. Here's the facts. Inflation is still too high, the US Dollar is still too weak, and the government debt is insurmountable. This is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs. But it's not too late to buy from Birch Gold. Get in the door. Now. Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA and gold, you don't pay a dime out of pocket. Just text America to the number 989898. That's America to the number 989898. There's no obligation, just useful information and a great free info kit. America to the number 9,898. All right, the woke monster is not dead yet. We get into it next. Welcome back, everyone. I want you to take a look at this picture. This is. I don't even want to say her name. Lahore Vagistan. Okay, obviously a drag queen. You know, drag queens may have a place in Key West, Florida amongst adults, but do they really have a place teaching a class at Harvard University? This drag queen is on loan from Tufts University in the gender and sexuality department. Now what do you do with that career? You go get a degree in gender and sexuality. Where does that lead you? Apparently there's a gender and sexuality caucus at Harvard University. Why would anybody pay $100,000 a year to go to that school? Even if my son could get into Harvard, I would not want him going there for just this very reason. Here's her not teaching a class. This is her performing a drag performance, by the way. Oh, well, there. There you go. I. Yeah, I can't hear. All right, that's good enough with that one. Okay, so let's go to something we can hear. This is on Netflix. Strawberry Shortcake Barry in the big city. Okay. Do you know Netflix has gone out of control with pushing a transgender LGBTQ ideology? Listen, direct response. Like cotton candy clouds floating in a blue sky. Banoffy will slay that Runway. Banoffy, tell us why you chose this delicious dress as a transberry. I love living out loud as my most authentic self. And I wanted to dress as bold and unique as I am, which, let's face it, is a tall order. As a trans. Barry, is any parent letting their children watch this show? I actually believe maybe it's time to start boycotting Netflix. I know boycotts don't always work, but this is outrageous. And there's plenty of more shows. You know, maybe next week we'll go through a whole bunch more of these shows that they have, because there are lots of them, and if you don't know about them and you have kids that age watching these shows, you better get educated pretty darn quickly. Just don't go to Harvard to get that education. All right. Seattle's mayor admits he doesn't want career criminals in jail. Oh, boy. I do not know how to get inside the mind of a liberal, of a leftist, of a radical like Seattle's Mayor Bruce Harrell. Listen to this.

[D]

So when this person is committing six.

[A]

Or seven crimes, I didn't know his or her story. Maybe they were abused as a child. Maybe they're hungry. So my. My remedy is to find their life.

[D]

Story to see how we could help first.

[A]

I have no desire to put them in jail. Six or seven crimes. You have no desire to put them in jail. Tell that to Irene Zarutska's family. That young woman who was killed on a Charlotte train.

[D]

Her.

[A]

Her throat slashed, Or Logan Federico. We heard from her father last week. She was put on her knees and murdered by someone who was charged 39 times with crimes. He should have been in prison. That Seattle mayor is getting people killed at his city. I promise you, by not putting criminals in prison, you get American citizens killed. That's gonna do it for us. How about that? This is an iHeart podcast.
