Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. Like as you can say, Antifa is now being officially put on notice by President Trump. Not only has he named them a terror organization, but President Trump held an Antifa roundtable today with independent journalists who have been covering Antifa and actually being assaulted by Antifa in large numbers. Now, this roundtable, folks, I'll be honest with you, is not for you and me. It's not for us that knows the reality of Antifa and the violence you see on your screen. There's this roundtable was for the mainstream media, the White House press corps that wants to tell the American public that Antifa doesn't exist. And of course, it was for all of those people that watch the mainstream media that are being told Antifa doesn't exist. Here's the president. Don't worry, you're very safe. I hope that's not going to turn you around. But they have been very threatening to people, but we're going to be very threatening to them, Far more threatening to them than they ever were with us. And that includes the people that fund them. Probably some of the people I know, some of the people I dine with, but if they do, they're in deep trouble. All right, so President Trump had a whole slew of independent journalists, including many friends of this program like Andy Ngo and Nick Sorter and Brandy Cruise, all of them there to tell their stories to the mainstream media about being attacked. But maybe even more importantly, well, nothing gets more important than being physically attacked. But it was the bias they experienced from the main mainstream media. They told stories like that as well. Here's Andy Null.

Reporting that I saw in liberal media was, it seemed to suggest that I had deserved it because they branded me far right. And some even went so far as to suggest that I may maybe faked my injuries. A BuzzFeed reporter asked for my medical records, which I did provide, and, you know, was beaten pretty badly. Many of these people have been beaten pretty badly. And so this White House expose, let's call it that, is historic because nobody's ever done this before, everybody else before. President Trump wants you to believe that somehow Antifa is just a figment of everybody's imagination, even though they're throwing Molotov cocktails through windows.
- [02:49]
Jennifer Horn
Some of us have been covering Antifa for 15 years and have never had anyone in a position of authority even acknowledge their existence. And I'll also tell you that I think that had you not done the single most powerful thing you've done to deal with this scourge has been acknowledging that Antifa is a real thing. I genuinely believe there would be people at these tables who would be dead today and would have been killed in Portland had you not called them a terror organization and said, we're going to bring the full weight of the federal government to bear.
- [03:20]
Grant Stinchfield
So here we are where you have Antifa that's attacking people. Nobody wants to recognize that it's real. Except of course, for President Trump, the independent journalists and all of us. President Trump vowed, as you heard, that he will track down anybody who's funding Antifa. And now that it's dubbed a terrorist organization, you're breaking the law if you give money to Antifa. This is Jack Posobec, great member of the Real America's Voice team. And this same violence is not just random, it is targeted assassinations which are getting worse. And every single one of us in this room that goes out there, and obviously you as well, sir, and all the staff, we are now under that threat every single day. All right, that, of course, is Jack Posobic. The media, though, cut away from much of this meeting today, all right? They don't want you to hear these stories. They want you to believe it never happened. This is from Nick Sorter after his arrest that we covered this week. Portland politicians are literally willing to sacrifice their own citizens to just to appease these antifa terrorists. It's sickening. I've seen it firsthand. Obviously when I went to jail that night, never expected it to happen. I thought that they were maybe removing me for my own safety. It never crossed my mind that I was the one that was being arrested for a crime. So, look, all of these people have very similar stories to tell. They need to be heard by the American public. President Trump did a good job of highlighting this, but if the mainstream media doesn't cover it again, we will. That I promise you. Folks, a little breaking news for you. So a friend of mine in Israel just texted me President Trump's truth social post. I'm going to read it to you. I am proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of our peace plan. This means that all of the hostages will be released very, very soon. This means that all the withdraw the troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a strong, durable and everlasting peace. All parties will be treated fairly. This is a great day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel, all surrounding nations, and the United States of America. We thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey who worked with us to make this historic and unprecedented event ever happen. That is great news from President Trump on his true social post. Great news for the people of Israel. Now, let's just get these hostages back. I will believe it the moment they are back in safe hands, but certainly this is. This is great news. All right, continuing on with our show, the corrupt media is always at it. Even with video and email evidence showing that James Comey lied to Congress as he is accused of, the mainstream media didn't really want to cover his arraignment today. And when they did cover it, they acted like the PR arm of the Comey family herself.
- [06:54]
Katie Porter
A United States. I'm sorry. An assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York prosecuted the Ghislaine Maxwell and Sean Diddy Combs trials, but was fired in July for reasons not identified or articulated. Perhaps for the crime of being James Comey's daughter. To see her comfort her mother, put her arm around her mom and rub it at the very end of today's proceedings, really, there just aren't words. It felt like living in the Upside down.
- [07:24]
Grant Stinchfield
Oh, don't you feel so sorry for the Comeys. He basically put an assassination order on the beach. He ruined hundreds, if not thousands of families and their lives when he went after them with this J6 nonsense. James Comey did a lot more than lie to Congress. Of course, there's the situation of spying on US Senators now that needs to be looked into. The illegal J6 investigations, the Russian collusion, hoax, all of it. Dan Bongino said this on Fox and Friends because he cannot control himself and his emotions. He is a child. He is a big child. And let me tell you one more thing. Jim Comey. Who wants you to believe Jim Comey taking a shot at the president. Oh, look at me. I'm such a victim. The president's going after me. He's making a ton of money on this book. The only person that got prosecuted was the president. Jim Comey. We're finding stuff even now. So will more come of this? I certainly hope so. Today the media seem to be more concerned about these supporters for Comey outside of the courthouse while the media was there waiting for everything to happen. But, yes, they were concerned with. Can we roll it the video, please. Thank you. They were more concerned about this smattering of Comey supporters. There were more members of the media than there were Comey supporters out there. And I promise you, most of them were. Most of those supporters were probably paid. This is Chris Cuomo, he's part of the paid shill group. He wants you to believe that somehow he's seen the light. Not so much. Look at him and Eric Trump. Do you think that it is fair to say it looks like the administration is going after its political opponents now and doing exactly what you say you oppose? Oh, that's what Comey. Because, I mean, it seemed very clear to me in the congressional testimony. I know. Just watching it certainly seemed like he lied to me. I mean, I'm also wondering what an FBI director is doing taking memos from the FBI and leaking them to the New York Times. And first off, Cuomo wants to say somehow that President Trump's going down the road of political retribution. This is nothing about that. This is about justice. And Eric Trump, by the way, had one of the most epic takedowns, probably on News Nation Watch. You've been on the receiving end of the very same people that I've been on the receiving end of. And so to play coy with me as if this isn't happening in the United States of America just seems ironic and foolish, given what you've been through, more so than anybody. Hold on a second. What did you just say that you think I'm doing? I'm asking you questions about whether or not if something is wrong is also wrong to do the same thing when you get back in power. Well, Eric Trump went on to give him a royal beatdown. All right. And way to go Eric Trump. I want to bring in now to discuss all of this, former US Navy JAG officer and special Assistant United States Attorney. Our friend Don Brown is back with us. Don, welcome back to the show.
- [10:40]
Don Brown
Thank you, Grant. It's good to see you this evening. Thanks for having me.
- [10:43]
Grant Stinchfield
Good to see you, Don. So, look, one thing that I want everyone to realize is we're not doing what they did to us. We're not putting James Comey in a Tyler, Texas, courtroom where you're going to have a conservative and a Make America Great Again jury to go face to face with. Like they did the opposite to President Trump, putting him in a liberal courtroom and a liberal jury. He's in Virginia. So I'll ask you, what are the prospects of getting a conviction of James Comey?
- [11:11]
Don Brown
Well, certainly better in Northern Virginia than if the prosecution were brought in the District of Columbia. But you gotta remember Arlington, Alexandria, and I lived up there when I was at the Pentagon has turned pretty blue. And that's the reason that Virginia has become a swing state, because the size of the federal government with all those bureaucrats over there, it still will be a challenge for the Justice Department. It would be impossible to get a conviction in D.C. but I do commend the Justice Department. And Chris Cuomo is off base. I mean, when you look at the prosecutions against President Trump, against Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, all those folks, there was no crime at all, just made up crap. But in this case, what you have is the former director of the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, lying to Congress in response to direct question from Ted Cruz. That's a federal crime. That's five years. Obstructing Congress is a federal crime. Five years. And you know, we hold our FBI director to a higher standard. I'm glad to see this happen. I hope to see some others get indicted real soon, too. Were part of that Biden and Obama cabal that really just turned the Justice Department on its head and corrupted it.
- [12:19]
Grant Stinchfield
Let me play you a soundbite from Kash Patel, the now director of the FBI. I mean, just think about it. Eight sitting United States Senators, phone records were gathered and subpoenaed through the grand jury process, and it was buried and wormholed with the hope that no one would find it. So we're just scratching the surface here, but accountability is coming. You're darn right I fired those agents. You're darn right I blew up CR15, the public corruption squad that led the weaponization at the Washington Field Office. We're just warming up. All right. He says he's warming up. He's talking about this surveillance of the phone records of city United States Senators. I've got to believe James Comey knew about that. Is there any criminal liability to that? You had Senator Kennedy thinking he's going to file a civil lawsuit against both Comey and the FBI. Your thoughts, Don?
- [13:10]
Don Brown
Well, sure. There's criminal liability. It is a crime to for a public official to conspire to deprive the individual citizens of civil rights or to use their office to deprive those of civil rights. We have this little thing in the Constitution called a Fourth Amendment. And you can't go invading the privacy of American citizens or taking records without a search warrant based upon legitimate probable cause that a crime has been created. And talk about, you know, talk about a coup here. Here we have a deep state agency actually spying on members of the legislative branch, the United States Senators. And I think that there should be more indictments coming. I believe that Comey probably did know. How could he not know? He was the director. And like we say in The Navy. The responsibility stops with a captain of the ship. There needs to be aggressive prosecution here. This is just an attack on our Constitution. An attack on the Fourth Amendment.
- [14:07]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, it sure is. When I look at this now, it sure feels like for Comey, lying to Congress is just a slap on the wrist. Do you think there may be more to come from him? I'm happy to see the charges. Is there more to come for others, like former directors of the CIA?
- [14:26]
Don Brown
Well, sure. I mean, you look at the meeting that Obama had in December before he went out of office, and Susan Rice writes this notice. She goes to the office. Everything's got to be done by the book. It's clear that senior members of the Obama administration were up to their neck in crossfire hurricane, probably in these illegal search warrants when they started going after members of the Trump administration. And if you attack the Constitution, then you gotta be investigated. You gotta be prosecuted. I don't believe for one second that the director did not know about these multiple attempts to spy on United States Senators. And I hope this thing gets busted wide open. They brought corruption into one of the most revered institutions, the United States Department of Justice. And the only way to clean out corruption is with disinfecting. We got to prosecute these actors.
- [15:11]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. Amen to that. Don Brown, it's always great having you on the program. Thank you, sir, as always.
- [15:17]
Don Brown
We appreciate you, Grant. Thank you.
- [15:19]
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely. All right, folks, I want to turn now to new numbers that the Democrats do not want you to see. President Trump's support is strong as it has ever been. And this is actually a record. We're now 10 months into his presidency and his support has not wavered. That has not happened to a modern day president. And this even from CNN. You know, you go back to October of 2024, 44% of the American public viewed him favorably. Now, despite everything, look at this. 43%, which is well within the margin of error of that 44%. And here's the thing to keep in mind. This was good enough to get Trump reelected back in 2024. And Donald Trump is basically at the same point here right now, which I think would surprise a lot of folks, especially a lot of folks on the left who very much disagree with a lot of what Donald Trump has done. Of course, CNN has to get that in. But the reality is the majority of Americans agree with everything he's done. In fact, he's carrying out the mandate the American people gave him when they elected him into office. President Trump is doing exactly what he said do. And so what have the Democrats tried to do to counteract President Trump's success? They hit him with insults. Oh, you're a racist. You're. You're like Hitler. You're going to cancel the election in 2028. Those numbers you just saw there is proof that it is not working. Things like Pritzker here. This is bad news for him and the Democrats. What we're talking about is authoritarianism. We could have talked about Pol Pot. We could have talked about authoritarians across history. I chose something I know very well. I helped to build a Holocaust museum. And what I know is in the early days of the Nazi regime, they started slowly but surely taking away people's rights. And what we're seeing now is the very same thing. Early days of the Nazi regime, we're restoring people's rights to move freely about this country without fear of getting your neck slit on a subway train. Now, Pritzker, in this Nazi talk, this message is not working for the Democrats. And our great producers pulled a great clip because it literally signifies the difference between us and them. You got Congressman Lawlor of New York, a Republican, going head to head with Hakeem Jeffries. And the facts went out. Hakeem Jeffries basically loses it. Watch America.
- [17:50]
Rich Barris
Sign on to the bill.
- [17:50]
Grant Stinchfield
Let me ask you a question. You have four Democrats on me. Ask you a question.
- [17:54]
Rich Barris
It's a.
- [17:54]
Don Brown
It's a clean year.
- [17:56]
Grant Stinchfield
You voted for the one big, ugly vote, correct? I voted for the largest bill that gave the largest tax cut to Americans in history. By the way, the average New Yorker getting a $4,000 tax cut. Are you against that? You're embarrassing. You want to cut the stamp. All right, so it gets worse. So he just hits him with fact after fact after fact. And of course, Hakeem Jeffries melts down. You want to cut the standard deduction, the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. You voted for that fraud and abuse.
- [18:27]
Don Brown
By the way, Tom Dinapoli, the Democratic controller of New York.
- [18:30]
Grant Stinchfield
Let me ask you a question. Pointed out that $1.2 billion. Listen, you're not gonna waste it. You're not gonna talk. You're not going to talk to me. You're not going to talk to me and talk over me, New York resident, because you don't want to hear what I have to say.
- [18:42]
Rich Barris
Oh, I'm listening.
- [18:43]
Grant Stinchfield
So why don't you just keep your mouth shut? Say again with the threats and the meltdown. That's it right there, folks. That's the difference between us and them. I Want to bring in now the director of Big Data Poll and host of Inside the Numbers. Our buddy Rich Barris is back. Rich, welcome to the program.
- [19:01]
Rich Barris
Thanks for having me back, as always. It's good to be here.
- [19:04]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Rich, this idea that President Trump's support is just as it was before the election, how big actually is that news?
- [19:16]
Rich Barris
Look, I'm actually somebody who's constantly on the lookout for splinters in the President's coalition. Right. Because you want to identify something and you know, maybe you want to, you want to address it. Supposed to be a self governing society and we're supposed to be responsive.
- [19:30]
Grant Stinchfield
Right. Elected leaders.
- [19:31]
Rich Barris
The fact is President Trump is more popular than modern presidents at this period in their second term and he's had a non consecutive term. And I actually think that that's important because we had a period of four years where Americans were able to do this ab comparison and they had a lot of time to think and to reflect about what it was like when Donald Trump was in office. And they kind of fell for it the first time. What you heard Harry Enton there say, despite everything, I mean, he really let his bias show. What is everything? Everything is everything the media does and throws at him. It's not the policies. When you pull the policies, they're immensely popular. So his, you know, durability is, is historic.
- [20:15]
Grant Stinchfield
I would argue that despite everything that he lowered gas prices, that he stopped and ended five wars, that, that he's got the economy back on track, that the stock market is rocking and rolling, that the border is secure, that we're lowering crime in cities across America. Despite all those things, no wonder his support is still there. This is exactly what he promised. Promised Rich.
- [20:38]
John Reed
It is.
- [20:39]
Rich Barris
And you know, sometimes voters may not even agree with you, but they respect you for doing what you say you're going to do. And another great example of that was Scott Walker who kept winning these recalls and reelection efforts. And you know, we pulled those races back then as well. And there's just a theme that, that reoccurs when there's a politician like Donald Trump, which is not often where voters say, you know what I mean? Not even particularly like this about so and so. But you got to, you got to give him credit that I know where he stands and I know what he's going to do and they respect that. And I think Donald Trump gets a lot of goodwill from that because they know he's not a politician. And by the way, that without, that's a caveat to that is that of course, the MAGA agenda. What Donald Trump stands for is immensely, again, immensely popular. When you're talking about border security, when you're talking about reducing crime in cities, when you're talking about, you know, getting out of foreign wars, this stuff is incredibly popular. Trade policy as well, you know, all depends on the pollster, of course. I mean, CNN is going to be as low as you're going to get. We have Donald Trump's favorability of 47%. So, I mean, higher than CNN's, which isn't surprising. They tend to understate his support, and we would expect that throughout his term.
- [22:00]
Grant Stinchfield
I use the CNN poll as basically like, I would use a broken scale. If it was 44 before the election and, and it's 44 now, maybe it really was 70 before the election, which would mean it's 70 now. It's a barometer that even to CNN, things aren't changing much, which is, which is really, really big. And lastly, I'll end with this, Rich, and maybe you can weigh in on this quickly. President Trump isn't doing anything in the, in the White House for polling numbers. He's doing it for the good of America. He doesn't have to get reelected again, correct?
- [22:34]
Rich Barris
Yeah, that's correct. And I think this is a unique opportunity for Americans. The movement, President Trump's movement. This is not something we see. We have never seen this in our lifetime. You would have to go back to Grover Cleveland, who is so many similarities to Donald Trump. He came in as an outsider. He fixed a lot, if not everything at the time, the major issues that were broken, the establishment didn't like them, and they threw him out. And they, you know, they, they, they ran him out by basically changing things and turning the world upside down within four years. They broke everything, and then they had to get him back. Donald Trump reminds me a lot of Grover Cleveland. And again, it's a huge opportunity because Grover Cleveland knew he could, you know, he could swing for the fences, too. He didn't have to worry about Donald Trump's the same way now. So this is, this is an opportunity we may not see again, but in our own lifetimes. It's remarkable. He can go to town.
- [23:31]
Grant Stinchfield
He's doing a great job. And I think the American people now see it, despite of what the media throws at you and Democrats throw at you. Rich Barris, always great having you on. Thank you for the insight, my friend.
- [23:41]
Rich Barris
Thanks for having me. All the best.
- [23:44]
Grant Stinchfield

All right, Democrats in Virginia and beyond refused to condemn Attorney general candidate Jay Jones for his murderous text. Yes, murderous texts. We'll get into that next. Welcome back, everyone. There is no better example of Democrat insanity than this Virginia Lieutenant governor candidate Jay Jones. By now you have probably heard about this story, these outrageous, disgusting, despicable text messages that he said basically promoting the Virginia speaker of the House's kids to be shot. So this reads like this. You were talking, you were hoping, talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert's children. Jennifer Gilbert is the wife of the speaker of the House in Virginia. At the time, you were talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert's children would die. JJ's response? Yes, I've told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy. So I guess this is talking, of course, about gun policy. Well, he then says this about the speaker of the House. Then if he had a choice, he'd murder Speaker Gilbert. Three people, two bullets. It reads, gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Spoiler put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people. You know, he receives both bullets every time. These text messages alone, I think you make you ineligible to run for any office. It shows you have a lack of compassion. It shows you have no ability to disseminate between what is right and wrong and you're morally decrepit, quite frankly. Apparently, he also did this. I'm gonna show you another text. But first, this is Senator Tim Kaine defending this behavior. And now I'll show you. And then I'll show you why he shouldn't defend it. Do you think Jay Jones should drop.
- [26:31]
John Reed
Out of the race in Virginia?
- [26:33]
Grant Stinchfield
You know, Jay has apologized. The statements that he made were indefensible. But I've known Jay Jones for 25 years. I think those statements were not in character and he has apologized. Not in character. Well, then apparently on a phone call, he doubles down on cops now need to be killed so they don't shoot criminals. Look at this. According to the Virginia scope, on a phone call, J. Jones was heard saying, quote, maybe if a few of them Cops died that they would move on. Not shooting people, not killing people. So this is a murderous lunatic that is running to be the. That is running to be the attorney general in. In Virginia. I want to bring in now the lieutenant candidate for lieutenant governor in Virginia. John Reed is with us. John, welcome to the program.
- [27:37]
John Reed
I really appreciate you having me. And we've been talking about this for several days, but a lot of people still don't know about it. And when you see what's happened to President Trump, the assassination attempts against him, the killing of Charlie Kirk, you know, threats against my life and other elected officials and candidates in Virginia and across the country, we better start paying attention to the violence problem that is a part of the Democrat Party. It's got to stop.
- [28:02]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, let me play a clip for you, John, because this is a candidate running for governor in your home state of Virginia. This sounds an awful lot like violent rhetoric to me. Take a listen.
- [28:15]
Jennifer Horn
And my mother just said, let your rage fuel you. And so, Mom, I love you.
- [28:23]
Cameron Kinsey
I thank you for this sage advice.
- [28:26]
Jennifer Horn
And to the rest of us, every time we hear a new story, we let it fuel us. Every time we turn on the news, we let it fuel us.
- [28:38]
Grant Stinchfield
Let your rage fuel you. You know, in a normal time, I will say, I don't know if that's promoting violence, but right now, Democrats ought to be damn careful with their words, with all the violence that's occurring towards Republicans.
- [28:51]
John Reed
John Reed, you just asked an important question. When was this said? Because, you know, something bad happens and we have a different perspective on it. So before I made a comment about it, I started checking, you know, are we being fair here? Because being fair is important to me.
- [29:07]
Grant Stinchfield
No.
- [29:08]
John Reed
Abigail Spamberger, who used to be my congresswoman, who's the Democrat running for governor, she said this on the first day of voting on September 19th. And I had just shaken hands with her at my own polling place, and this is, what, nine days after Charlie Kirk had been killed. Somebody who's in the public, in public life, who wants to be a leader really needs to recalibrate the way they communicate, especially in light of the violence that we've seen for the last several years. It is really concerning that a lot of Democrats in Virginia and across the country don't have a problem with it. Well, I think most Virginians don't want that type of mindset in leadership positions.
- [29:48]
Grant Stinchfield
Look, when you come back to Jay Jones, this guy running for Attorney general, when you think about saying that, you know what, the wife needs to see her kids die, so you can have a policy position change. To me, it is the most. One of the most horrific concepts you can come up with. Your thoughts about him and now his refusal to step down so far.
- [30:16]
Rich Barris
Yeah.
- [30:16]
John Reed
Again with Jay, I wanted to stop and make sure that this wasn't made up because to me, it seemed so outrageous that no one, no decent person, whether you're a politician or not, would be stupid enough or callous enough to say something like that. But then he admitted it was true. And there's some things you can apologize for. You get mad, you call somebody a name or you lash out. This is a fundamental window into the soul of this man and I think into the soul of the modern Democrat Party and the fact that he hasn't stepped aside and more importantly, that the leaders of the Democrat Party here in Virginia and across the country haven't mandated that he step aside. They don't seem to care, and they play politics with everything. You know, I get wanting to win. We all want to win. We all want to sell our ideas. But they've got to be some ground rules. And they used to be based on basic common decency. And the Democrats have thrown that out the window, so we're not putting up with it anymore.
- [31:16]
Grant Stinchfield
Real quick, the chances of Republicans doing well here in these elections, your race, the attorney general's race, especially now after this. Real quick, if you can, for me, sum up those chances in Virginia, they're very good.
- [31:29]
John Reed
I'm sorry, it's coming off of this. I think Jason is probably leading J. Jones now. My race is tied. Winsome has really closed the gap. Winsome Sears is running for governor. I think we've got a really good chance here, and we want to bring responsible leadership to Virginia. That's why we're running. And I think that's why we'll ultimately win.
- [31:49]
Grant Stinchfield
Well, it's one of the reasons why I have you on the program. John Reed for virginia.com. john Reed, R E I D for virginia.com. great to have you on. Please don't be a stranger, and good.
- [31:59]
Don Brown
Luck in the race.
- [32:01]
Rich Barris
Thanks.
- [32:02]
Grant Stinchfield
All right. Absolutely. And John's fellow radio guy, too, by the way. You can hear it in his voice. Right. Hey, here's a quick tip for all you youngsters out there, all right? I tell my son, I tell everybody this. Don't say it unless you are okay with it ending up on the front page of the Washington Post or your grandmother hearing it. Especially don't put it in a text message if you're not okay with those two things. Uh, apparently Jay Jones didn't learn that lesson. All right, if you thought Gavin Newsom was bad, wait until you hear from the woman who could take her place. Folks, imagine Gavin Newsom. He's not gonna be governor anymore. That's great. He's gonna try to run for president. Now picture this woman, Katie Porter in Gavin Newsom spot. Mrs. Doubtfire there on your screen. That's what she looks like. Okay, this is not going to be good. She had one of the most horrible interviews I've ever seen. It told me she's an awful human being. Watch this.

Jennifer Horn
But you just said you don't need those Trump voters.
- [33:11]
Katie Porter
Well, you asked me if I needed them to win.
- [33:13]
Jennifer Horn
So you don't need them.
- [33:14]
Katie Porter
I feel like this is unnecessarily argumentative. What is your question?
- [33:18]
Jennifer Horn
The question is the same thing I asked everybody.
- [33:22]
Grant Stinchfield
I feel like this is argumentative. Well, it goes downhill from there.
- [33:27]
Jennifer Horn
We've also asked the other candidates, do you think you need any of those 40% of California voters to win? And you're saying no, you don't?
- [33:33]
Katie Porter
No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every vote I can. And what I'm saying to you is that, well, to those voters.
- [33:40]
Jennifer Horn
Okay, so, so you.
- [33:41]
Katie Porter
I don't want to keep doing this. I'm going to call it. Thank you.
- [33:46]
Jennifer Horn
You're not going to do the interview with us?
- [33:48]
Katie Porter
Nope, not like this I'm not. Not with seven follow ups to every single question you ask every other candidate has answered. I don't care. I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation which you asked me about every issue on this list. And if every question you're going to make up a follow up question, then we're never going to get there.
- [34:07]
Grant Stinchfield
Folks, I was in local media. That reporter is in Sacramento. Truth is, she did a good job. She's very respectful, asked important questions and it wasn't on the script, I guess. So Katie Porter freaks out because she's used to having the media in her back pocket. She's an awful human being. By the way, I want to bring in now to discuss this, my co host out of the Morning Answer in Los Angeles. She's well aware of Katie Porter. She's been following Katie Porter's career for years. Jen Horn is with us. Jen, welcome to the program.
- [34:38]
Jennifer Horn
I'm calling this interview right now, Grant, but thanks for having me.
- [34:44]
Grant Stinchfield
You have to put your hands up like this.
- [34:47]
Jennifer Horn
Have to put them up. Jazz hands. I'm calling this interview. Yeah, I've been following Katie Porter since she dumped a steaming hot bowl of mashed potatoes over her, well now ex husband's head. So she's never been personality plus. But I have to tell you, she really did some big revelations during this interview. Clearly she was unprepared. She had a list of what she was going to be asked. She was unprepared to answer anything outside of the realm of what she was expecting, which automatically disqualifies her to be California governor. And I think most importantly, Grant, it also showed that she thinks that she is the shoo in to become the next governor of California without any of the voters making their decision.
- [35:27]
Grant Stinchfield
And that is specifically why I brought you on here, because nobody knows the ins and outs of California politics like Jennifer Horn does. And I mean this, Jenny, you are on them, two steps ahead of them every step of the way. You heard this soundbite and you knew exactly what you just told everybody who knows the inside game. Roll that one, guys.
- [35:50]
Katie Porter
What do you say to the 40%.
- [35:52]
Jennifer Horn
Of California voters who you'll need in order to win who voted for Trump?
- [35:58]
Katie Porter
How would I need them in order to win, ma'?
- [35:59]
Cameron Kinsey
Am?
- [36:00]
Jennifer Horn
Well, unless you think you're going to get 60% of the vote.
- [36:03]
Katie Porter
You think you'll get 60%.
- [36:05]
Jennifer Horn
All everybody who did not vote for Trump vote for you.
- [36:07]
Katie Porter
That's what you're in a general election. Yes. If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump. What if it's you versus another Democrat? I don't intend that to be the case.
- [36:20]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Jen, you say there are some secret signals in there. Why don't you lay that on us?
- [36:25]
Jennifer Horn
Yeah, not so secret, actually. If you know how the Democrat Party works in California, it is extremely powerful. They get their money from the environmentalist groups. They get their money from the teachers union. And the reason we have so many terrible candidates, candidates. I'd look at Katie Porter, I'd look at Kamala Harris, I would look at Senator Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, is that the Democrat Party finds transactional actors, people that can be controlled and they elevate them through the political system in California. And what you heard Katie Porter say there was so revealing. She said it won't be a Democrat running against me, it will be a Republican. So as a refresher, California has a top two jungle primary system, which means it could very easily be two Democrats. But the last time we had a big election in California, Katie Porter was running for senator against Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff was the One who got all of the funding from the Democrat machine. And what did they do when they got behind him? They started putting money into the Republican candidates campaign, Steve Garvey to make sure that it was Adam Schiff facing off against the Republican Steve Garvey because that's what Schiff wants. It makes it for an easier time on a statewide race. And lo and behold, we have Adam Schiff. Well, that left Katie Porter out in the dust. And so this tells me, Grant, that the machine has promised to cross crank Katie Porter up to their top position in the governor's race. And they will do the same thing. They will find Chad Bianco or Steve Hilton, the strong gubernatorial candidates on the Republican side of the ticket. They will help fund those campaigns. And she just revealed it all and I don't even think she meant to do that.
- [37:58]
Grant Stinchfield
Think about that folks. Everybody at home consider what Jen just said. The Democrats in California will fund part of a Republican candidate's campaign with PAC money. So it's not attached to the Republican Republicans campaign to get them in the final two because typically in California the Democrats going to slaughter the Republican. And they know that. It's just, it's unbelievable how strategic they are really. And that you saw that, that Katie Porter had basically just spelled out what was going to happen. But there was more of this interview. So let me play this next clip for you. Rolling.
- [38:29]
Katie Porter
Okay.
- [38:30]
Jennifer Horn
But every other candidate has done this.
- [38:32]
Katie Porter
What part of me I'm me. I'm running for governor because I'm a leader.
- [38:38]
Grant Stinchfield
Is she a leader? Jennifer Horn?
- [38:40]
Jennifer Horn
She is nothing close to a leader. You know what leaders do? Leaders answer questions, questions that aren't even hard. This woman I think is arrogant. I think, and that's the nicest thing I can say about her. She's silly because she can't answer the question. She can't go off script. But more than anything, she is arrogant. She thinks she is due now to be the next governor of California. But you know the secret here, Grant, is that this is getting play on shows like yours. It's getting played all over talk radio, it's viral on social. And Democrats aren't going to try to propel a loser into the governor's race. I'm wondering if that interview is actually going to be what takes down open border Porter.
- [39:18]
Grant Stinchfield
It may be. You know, people want someone who's likable. All right? And, and no matter what you say about President Trump, there's people that love Trump. There is nobody that loves Katie Porter. I promise you I'm not Even sure her own parents love her. This is one more clip. Let me play it for you. Cut 5.
- [39:36]
Katie Porter
Nearly every legislative I am. I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you and I don't want this all on camera.
- [39:42]
Jennifer Horn
I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either.
- [39:47]
Grant Stinchfield
She wants to save space and she doesn't want on camera. Tough boogies.
- [39:52]
Jennifer Horn
Jen, the last word difference between Democrats and Republicans. Grant, have you ever uttered those words, I don't want an unhappy experience. Like who even talks like that? This is absolutely ridiculous. I just love to sit here with my popcorn and watch these people implode. It's so crazy.
- [40:09]
Grant Stinchfield
I'm going to dinner at my very special lady friend's house after this program gets off her two teenage daughters and her eight year old son. And I'm gonna say I don't want an unhappy experience.
- [40:20]
Jennifer Horn
That's right. Otherwise I'm gonna call like I was crazy.
- [40:23]
Grant Stinchfield
I'm gonna call it. It's date night tonight, so I'm going. Jennifer Horn, thank you so much. Thank you.
- [40:30]
Jennifer Horn
Thank you, Grant.
- [40:31]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, we'll see you tomorrow morning. Am 8:70 out in Los Angeles. You can catch us on Rumble too. Just type in the morning answer and check us out 9 to 12 Eastern Time. All right, don't get too excited, folks. The IRS is closing most of their operations amidst the shutdown. Why you shouldn't wait to fix your tax issues. It's next.
- [40:55]
Jennifer Horn
Foreign.
- [41:00]
Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back, everyone. We are in day eight of the government shutdown and again a vote today failed to pass. So here we go. Moving on down the line. Government remains shut down. Today we learned the IRS will furlough about half of its employees. 52% will remain on the job as 34,000 IRS employees. Employees get furloughed during the government shutdown. But what does that mean for you? If you have tax issues, does that mean you ought to just ignore them? I want to bring in now from Tax Network usa, Cameron Kinsey is with us. Cameron, welcome to the program.
- [41:37]
Cameron Kinsey
Thanks so much for having me, Grant. Good to see you.
- [41:40]
Grant Stinchfield
Good to see you too, Cameron. So I would imagine.
- [41:42]
Don Brown
All right.
- [41:43]
Grant Stinchfield
So they're furloughing half the employees. I could just let it slide. I skate. Is that it or no? No, not so much, No.
- [41:50]
Cameron Kinsey
I mean when the IRS furloughs workers during this government shutdown, which is honestly, it's just so typical for the government to take money without working. But I mean it does create these major delays. These refunds will stall, the phone lines will close and cases under review may just sit for the time being. And so for taxpayers already facing these audits or collections, that uncertainty can be stressful to the average individual. And so at Tax Network usa, we step in as the middleman. We handle the communication. We're protecting clients from those penalties that may be stacking up and keeping their cases moving as much as possible during this. So even when the IRS shuts down, we make sure that our clients don't get left behind.
- [42:30]
Grant Stinchfield
All right, so they got half the workforce there. Do you think letters still go out? And what happens if you get one of them?
- [42:37]
Cameron Kinsey
Well, I mean, you should just act now, because their collection system never sleeps. If you've received those letters and don't respond quick, they can still levy your bank account. They can garnish your paycheck. Now, because of the shutdown, you may not be able to reach anyone to fix it either. So that's really why you need a professional team like Tax Network USA to step in, because we do know how to get through to the IRS and stop collections before it is too late.
- [43:02]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. You're not going through the customer service line, are you?
- [43:05]
Cameron Kinsey
No, no. And we're not just here to file your taxes. We're here to fight for you. There's so many companies right now that will charge hefty upfront fees. They'll give you, like, this cookie cutter advice that's really not helpful, and then they'll vanish when things really get tough. And we're not that type of firm. We've helped eliminate over a billion dollars worth of tax debt for our clients because we approach every single case personally and strategically. At Tax Network usa, we share the exact same values of the people watching this program right now. We believe in limited government, less bureaucratic nonsense during this process, and we're protecting people from these weaponized institutions that we've seen in the past, especially with Biden administration. But no matter who's in office, that's the lens that we approach every single case with. We're on your side, we're not on their side. So our goal isn't to just solve your problem. It's really just to get your life back on track so you don't have to deal with this stress alone.
- [44:01]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. It's so important, and it's so important to have someone help take the stress off. And I would imagine that's one. One thing you get that customers must say is that they're not in it alone and anymore.
- [44:14]
Cameron Kinsey
No. No. And that's the most stressful thing about it and we try to alleviate every single burden that you have fiscally and emotionally, because we know just how stressful this process can be. To get started with us, we make it as seamless and easy as possible. We can start with a direct consultation. We just dig into your financial picture a little bit more, kind of see what you're going through. And if you do want to decide to move forward after that initial call, which is completely free, we take it from there. We flag every single deduction, we fix any errors, make sure that your filing is clean and accurate and audit proof. And, you know, even though we've seen the tax deadline pass, obviously if you've received those letters from the IRS or think there's something wrong with a previous return, now really is the time to act.
- [44:57]
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. Well, it's great advice, Cameron. It's always great to see you. I appreciate you coming on the program. Let me tell people how they can find Tax Network us. It's super easy. You should know the website by now. Tnusa.com rav just go there to get started with one of their tax experts. Or you can call them at 800-905-8000. That's 800-905-8000. All right, take a look at this guy. He's 29 years old. His name is Jonathan Rindenknecht. And he's arrested on a criminal complaint charging him with maliciously starting that Palisades fire back in January that burned so many homes, took lives. I mean, it was a one of the worst fires you can't even call a natural disaster because now they believe it was arson. That man is accused of it. Evidence they collected from Jonathan was an image that he generated on ChatGPT depicting the burning city. Now, I don't know if that says you're guilty because you concocted some picture on ChatGPT, but they've got it in evidence against him. And then there's this from Bill Asale, the U.S. attorney.
- [46:13]
John Reed
The allegations in the affidavit are supported by digital evidence, including the defendant's chatgpt.
- [46:20]
Grant Stinchfield
Prompt of a dystopian painting showing in part, part a born a burning forest and a crowd fleeing from it. So be careful what you put into Chat GPT, especially if you're going to be accused of a crime. All right, folks, up next, CNN is dumbfounded that boys on social media are engaging with masculine content. They say there's a problem with this. Hmm. What constitutes masculine content. And I would think if my son's watching, quote, masculine content we're not talking about. You know what I'm talking about. This is a good thing. This is CNN. So the survey finds that three and.
- [47:16]
John Reed
Four boys between the ages of 11.
- [47:18]
Grant Stinchfield
And 17 regularly encounter masculinity related posts.
- [47:23]
Don Brown
The images are everything from fighting to body image to being tough to making money.
- [47:30]
Grant Stinchfield
Sort of very outdated stereotypes in many cases. Wait a second. Making money is an outdated stereotype? I love making money. Posts on social media keep them coming. I want lots of ways to make money. And quite frankly, my son, seeing guys with good bodies and how to build your muscles, that's a good thing. How to make money a good thing. That's gonna do it for us. Stinfield's army rolls. Thanks to you. This is an iHeart podcast.
