Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Blockbuster Revelations: FBI Role on January 6th

[02:55 – 07:44]

• Stinchfield breaks the news (purportedly first on this program) that 250 plainclothes FBI agents were present on the ground during January 6th.
• He reads excerpts from an internal After Action FBI report with agents anonymously lamenting the agency's politicization and leadership failures:

  “We were once an apolitical organization, but I no longer see us as such… We have been used as pawns in a political war...” (05:32, Stinchfield quoting report)

• Additional revelations include complaints of double standards in handling the Capitol riots versus 2020 BLM protests.
• Notable moment: Stinchfield accuses former and current FBI Directors and AG Garland of perjury for denying the extent of undercover activity.

2. Inside Perspective: Interview with John Strand (J6 Defendant)

[08:52 – 15:26]

• John Strand, described as a "J6 political prisoner" and now creative director at America’s Frontline Doctors, joins.
• Strand asserts January 6th was a "government crime, a setup, an operation weaponized against the American people."

  "We deserve justice. We deserve restitution from a government that weaponized against us and violated our basic constitutional rights." (10:52, John Strand)

• He details the personal fallout: imprisonment, lost rights, and lack of due process, calling this day “a turning point for J6.”
• Host challenges undercover agents for failing to come forward:

  "To those of them that were undercover, I ask you to look yourselves in the mirror. Because people like yourself, John, went to prison, and any one of them could have stood up and said, you know what? This isn't right." (12:28, Stinchfield)

3. James Comey’s Indictment & Political Fallout

[15:29 – 24:50]

• Stinchfield presents the Comey indictment as long-overdue justice, alleging Comey lied about media leaks and obstructed investigations.
• Quote from Trump reaction:

  “He lied. He lied a lot. But this was a very important thing.” (16:50, President Trump, via Stinchfield)

• Stinchfield critiques Comey’s own response to the indictment as an implicit admission of weaponizing the FBI against Trump.
• Chris Pajota (retired FBI executive):

  “Former Director Comey has squandered that type of respect for the organization and for himself. And it’s really a shame to watch at this point.” (20:58, Pajota)

4. FBI Whistleblowing and Institutional Fear

[21:47 – 24:33]

• Greg Hartley, former interrogator and body language expert, analyzes Jimmy Kimmel’s apology, James Comey’s statement, and mugshots of recent accused murderers.

• Stinchfield and Hartley express scepticism over celebrities' sincerity and dissect the visual tells of public figures:

  “All good actors pull all of their emotion from somewhere... if they were really going to cry, those emotions don’t come up and go away that quick.” (42:27, Hartley on Kimmel)

• Hartley asserts defiance and self-validation in the mugshots of alleged left-wing assassins, likening the mindset to that of “jihadis” fighting for a cause.

• Clinton’s MSNBC appearance warning about “dangerous white men” is mocked as divisive, with both Stinchfield and Hartley deriding such rhetoric as further polarizing public discourse.

• John Strand (J6 defendant):

  “We were innocently present, exercising our First Amendment guaranteed right to petition our government for a redress of grievances…that was weaponized against us to violate our Fourth, Fifth, Eighth Amendment rights and put us in prison…” (10:52)

• Chris Pajota (retired FBI):

  “The FBI that I knew, the FBI that I grew up with, you would have had some screaming matches about what was going on at the time…The FBI that I was proud of did its business in a skilled, objective, apolitical and professional manner, which we saw a pretty severe departure from…” (23:40)

Tone & Style

The episode features Stinchfield’s characteristic hard-hitting, skeptical, and sometimes combative style. The tone is unapologetically conservative and critical of Democratic officials, the mainstream media, and certain cultural trends. Guests reinforce these views, with emotional moments and several calls to action.

---

Summary

This episode is a whirlwind of conservative commentary on current political, legal, and cultural debates. The central theme is government corruption—particularly within the FBI—and mainstream misrepresentation of recent history. Other threads include unwavering support for Israel, warning about cultural shifts, and critique of the “mainstream narrative,” all delivered in an urgent, combative style. The inclusion of firsthand testimony (John Strand), expert analysis (Pajota, Hartley), and rabbinic perspective (Barclay) provides a multi-faceted but ideologically cohesive broadcast.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Good evening everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. We have blockbuster news to tell you about news that we first broke on this program last night with our man John Solomon. Turns out 250 plainclothes FBI agents were on the ground on January 6th, 250 of them. They were never straight with us. The prior administration. James Comey is the Director of the FBI. Christopher Wray, the Director of the FBI. Attorney General Garland. They would never give us a straight answer about this. And in many respect, their omission about telling us the truth is the problem. And so now we're learning that in an after action report, these FBI agents flooded FBI headquarters with anonymous complaints. Those complaints were captured in this After Action report. They read like this one of them. We were once an apolitical organization, but I no longer see us as such, looking from the ground up. We have been used as pawns in a political war and FBI leadership fell into the trap and has allowed it to happen. We are supposed to call balls and strikes regardless of political pressure. Now we can't even be trusted on the field. That's one comment. I will tell you. In many respects, it's refreshing to see that inside the FBI there were those that were pushing back. There were those that were angry about the politicization of, of the FBI. Here is another comment for you again, also damning, it reads. What is even more unacceptable was the hypocrisy displayed by the FBI and its leadership in their attempt to go after those involved in the Capitol riots while we as agents watched cities burn across America during 2020. Remember that, of course, was the Summer of love. So again, 250 agents, many of them feeling like they were used as political pawns. And leadership from the Attorney General to the FBI refused to acknowledge that there were so many FBI agents on the ground here. Throwback Thomas Massie questioning Attorney General Merrick Garland. Oh, last time. You don't know how many there were or there were none. I don't know the answer to either of those questions. If there were any. I don't know how many. I don't know whether there are any. I think you may have just perjured yourself that you don't know that there were any. You want to say that again that you don't know that there were any. No personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I said the last time. You've had two years to find out. Now we find out that there was an after action report that revealed 250 plainclothes officers, two dozen prison confidential informants also in playing close, I believe Thomas Massie was right. Attorney General Merrick Garland committed perjury. There. There is no way he didn't know how many FBI agents were on the ground. Just as James, James Comey committed perjury when he said he wasn't leaking information or knew about leaked information to the mainstream media. This is Clay Higgins, also a throwback to my question, being close. This is a very significant hearing, Mr. Chairman. And these buses are nefarious in nature and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters deployed onto our Capitol on January 6th. Your day is coming. To former FBI Director Christopher Wray about the ghost buses. It turns out they may not have been just confidential informants. They may have been FBI agents dressed as Trump supporters. We always knew something was up. Look at the video on your screen. They've got a guy in handcuffs, and then ultimately they just uncuff him and let him go. We all knew it. And now, thanks to Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, and of course, Pam Bondi, the new Attorney General, we're starting to learn the real truth. Well, we knew the truth. We're having confirmation of the real truth. And again, what John Solomon over just the news learned is that there really were agents inside the FBI. They weren't all bad that were screaming and yelling about all of this. But it's more important that it is.

[Greg Hartley]

A affirmation from the frontline agents of the FBI that they had recognized their agency had become politically corrupted, politically biased, politically incompetent, and they were crying for help in 2021.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And that help was kept for them.

[Greg Hartley]

Until Donald Trump won the election and.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Ash Patel was installed. Well, they've got help now. My biggest fear, though, is they still have holdovers, because remember what you're looking at there. That's the January six that nearly 95% of the people on Capitol grounds were taking part in an organized tour of the Capitol, shaking hands with law enforcement. As you can see there, we've got pictures of them walking between the ropes. And as they do that, they're mindful of their surroundings, not breaking any laws. But that wasn't the story the mainstream media told you, and they certainly didn't tell us that there were 258 FBI agents there, many of them complaining to leadership. I cannot believe it has taken us nearly five years now to get this information. Here with me to discuss this J6 political prisoner. They sent him to prison over all of this. He's now the creative director at America's Frontline. Doctors, my buddy John Strand is back. John, welcome to the program.

[John Strand]

Thanks for having me on, Grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Always great to be with you. John, what they did to you. All right, they cut off communications between you and me. We're just friends. But they threw you in the shoe in the hole. They thought you were the worst terrorist ever to hit American soil. And you were one of those people simply walking through the Capitol shaking officers hands. Now you learn. Yeah, there were 250 FBI agents there. Yeah, there were confidential informants, Many of those FBI agents complaining. Your thoughts?

[John Strand]

Wow, Grant, it is quite a revelation. And as you said, we've been tracking this for years now. I've been going through it personally for over four years. We've always known that January 6th was a government crime, a setup, an operation weaponized against the American people. And now we have the truth. Out of the criminal's own mouths, out of the institution that set this forth. So we knew that there were undercover operatives. We knew that there was pre planning. We knew that we had learned this playbook from the Gretchen Whitmer fednapping hoax. And it was replicated here by the same FBI field director, by the way, Stephen Dantuono, who also needs to be investigated and likely indicted and charged, as many others do. But James Comey was a nice start.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, John, I have to say, yeah, there was the. The west terrorists. For those that really dug into J6, it got a little rough and tumble. I don't think they deserve years in prison that they were there for. It wasn't. It wasn't nearly as rough and tumble as the summer of love of 2020, when Black lives Matter was burning cities. But by and large, 95% of J6 was what you were doing walking through the Capitol. I can't help but think 250 agents on the ground could not just 1, 2, 5, 10 of them come forward and said, hey, none of these people did anything. Cuz, you know, they would have witnessed you, John Strand, not doing anything.

[John Strand]

Yeah, there are so many lies to unpack here. And it's hard. People get caught up in the moment and caught up in am I going to get caught or should I say this or that? But the time for truth telling is now. The time for these lies and corrupt mechanisms needs to be over. So the American people are demanding the truth. They deserve it. Certainly the J6ers who have had their lives destroyed, myself included, have suffered greatly over the past four years. We deserve justice. We deserve restitution from a government that weaponized against us and violated our basic constitutional rights Grant. We were innocently present, exercising our First Amendment guaranteed right to petition our government for a redress of grievances. That is quite literally what we were doing there as a Nation on January 6th. That First Amendment right was weaponized against us to violate our Fourth, Fifth, Eighth Amendment rights and put us in prison, often pretrial, without due process. And ultimately the vast majority of people present there are innocent Americans who simply wanted their voice to be heard, particularly regarding a stolen election, which we've now seen proof to evidence that as well. There's so many lies, so much corruption, and we're sick and tired of it. Today is a banner day. I call this the turning point for J6. And it's a very important moment. But we have to press forward. We've always known that there were FBI agents involved. We've always known that there were a lot of lies. But we need to have them exposed with the disinfectant of sunlight, and we need the perpetrators brought to justice. That is essential.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know, I would say this for the 250 undercover FBI agents that were there when all the questions were being asked. To those of you which appears to be none of them, we've had FBI whistleblowers come on this show. None of them were undercover on January 6th. To those of them that were undercover, I ask you to look yourselves in the mirror. Because people like yourself, John, went to prison, and any one of them could have stood up and said, you know what? This isn't right. Besides sending anonymous messages to leadership at FBI, they should have been coming to people like me and others that could have put them on TV and done something about it and maybe saved you quite a long story, stint in a federal penitentiary. John Strand. Yeah.

[John Strand]

Well, Grant, you know, what we can show the American people is the contrast between those who played the safe game or played the coward game and those who stood firm for the truth. Grant, you and Real America's Voice have been fantastic, championing the cause of truth tellers and of innocent J6ers who have fought back. You've platformed me and allowed me to share that story. You can find out [e-mail] to learn what I've gone through. But the point is that people can observe those who continue to stand for the truth and speak it out. And that pays off in the end. It gives you, first of all, integrity and personal satisfaction. But ultimately, it's going to allow you to succeed, and lies are just going to keep dragging you down. So we're at a national turning point where we really need to demand the truth and unify in our efforts to push forward for transparency and accountability for bad government actors.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, real quick, because I like to give you a platform. You deserve it. Everything you've been through you're running for Congress, tell people where and where they can find you and where they can help you. And I would urge people to do just that.

[John Strand]

Amazing. So it's not exactly official yet, but go to johnstrand.com currently you're going to see if you haven't watched it already, a mind blowing 14 minute video that shows every step I took through the Capitol and explains what actually happened to me. And it's representative of what happened to many others. But yes, there are massive political shifts going on. This week has been incredible with the memorial for Charlie Kirk, one of my personal patriot heroes. And it's really a turning point in our nation and a call to action for those who have had their eyes open that are red pilled to the war between good and evil and the assault against American values and Western civilization by Marxist communist and Islamo fascist forces. This is the time for patriots like myself and others to step forward and look for opportunities to share the truth, to take leadership and yes, to run for political office. So there's a lot more coming to johnstrand.com very soon. I'm excited to bring you that in the next few weeks here.

[Grant Stinchfield]

If I outed you before you had made an announcement, my apologies to you my friend, but apologies. You come back when, when you make it official, you come back and announce to me and we'll make sure we get some people throwing some, some money in the, in the tip jar. All right my friend, Absolutely.

[John Strand]

God bless you and all your efforts and stay strong on the truth grant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Appreciate it. Absolutely, always and we do it for people like you. That's an American hero right there. What he has been through. We've profiled him many times on this program. Nothing short of disastrous for a country like America. All right folks, but it is a big day. As John said. This right here, this is the indictment. It's not long, not hard to read. It's two pages. That's it basically says that James Comey lied September 30th of 2020, just about five years ago. That's when the statute of limitations runs up when he said he didn't have any idea about leaks to the mainstream media. He didn't send anybody to the media. He didn't tell agents to work with the New York Times. Those turned out to be would appear to be false statements if you believe the witnesses and the other evidence that investigators have against him. The obstruction charge stems from the lies during that hearing that obstructed Congress's ability to investigate the real truth. This is President Trump today on James Comey's indictment, Justice. He lied. He lied a lot. But this was a very important thing. This is. He could have said, well, maybe, or I don't remember. He didn't say that. Who gave a very specific answer. And then he verified it numerous times and he got caught. The problem that Comey has is he got caught lying. Yeah, he sure does. I actually think he verified in his very arrogant and entitled response to this indictment video that he posted, I think he verified that he did weaponize the FBI. I want you to listen to his words carefully. I don't think his lawyers looked this over before he. He issued this statement. He's got some big problems here to explain now. Roll it. My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees. And you shouldn't either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said.

[Chris Pajota]

That fear is the tool of a tyrant.

[Grant Stinchfield]

And she's right. But I'm not afraid, and I hope you're not, either. Costs standing up to Donald Trump. So was standing up to Donald Trump lying about the leaks to the media so you wouldn't get caught, so maybe he wouldn't be reelected? Was. Was that it? I mean, you just basically admitted that standing up to Donald Trump was the mission. As you were director of the FBI, that is playing political games with your office. To me, it's disgusting. As the FBI agent in one of those text messages said earlier, you're supposed to call balls and strikes, not go after political foes. You just admitted it there in that video, Comey. And now I want to see you in handcuffs, quite frankly, I really do. You deserve to go to prison for a long time. My guess is he may get convicted, but he's not going to go to prison anytime soon. I don't think they'll do it. I really don't. It's only a prediction. I wish I was wrong. Chris Van Hollen, the senator, Democrat. This is his response. Look, this is a political prosecution, pure and simple. It's Exhibit A of the corruption of this Department of Justice in our justice system. And it comes in line with all the other lawless things President Trump is doing. Cracking down on First Amendment rights, stripping people of their due process. I'm sorry, political persecution. Hey, Senator Van Hollen, you tell that to my friend Peter Navarro. You tell that to my friend George Papadopoulos. You tell that to my friend Roger Stone. My friend Steve Bannon, you Tell that to John Strand and the other J6ers. You want to talk about political persecution, you tell that to President Trump and everything he's went through. These people are hypocrites with a capital H. They all ought to go to prison, quite frankly. I want to bring in with me now retired FBI executive assistant director and author of Wanted the FBI I Once Knew. Chris Pajota is with us. Chris, welcome to the program.

[Chris Pajota]

Hey, Grant, pleasure to be with you and your audience tonight.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, it's a pleasure having you on. I guess, first off, I'll get your response. What kind of case do they have against James Comey? I know you worked with this man before. You think it's a good case? Do they? They have something here?

[Chris Pajota]

I think they have a legal strategy. Right. And I think that you're going to see that certain facts and events as laid out by the former director are going to be challenged, and they're going to look at his version of events versus the actual documented version of events, as well as possible testimony of other people who are involved. And here's the problem you have with the director of the FBI. This person has to be the bellwether official of the FBI and the law enforcement community beyond reproach and trusted and respected by all. I think former Director Comey has squandered that type of respect for the organization and for himself. And it's really a shame to watch at this point, but I do think that it'll be interesting to see how this case presents itself and how it's moved forward.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Chris, do you agree with me that in his video here, the response to the indictment, he basically makes an admission that while he was in office, he was standing up to President Trump. That is not his job as FBI director.

[Chris Pajota]

Now, one of the problems I saw that Director Comey ran into was he got to a point where he started substituting his own political and ideological beliefs for the mission parameters and the mission requirements that the FBI operates under on behalf of the American people. That got him in trouble. And I'll tell you where else he ran into trouble is his fascination with being in the media. And after he left office, his fascination with being on social media. I think those were factors in his demise.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, let me ask you about the information about J6,250 undercover plainclothes FBI agents. Now, we have learned that we're on seen there. None of them apparently stood up, went public with the fact that many of these J6ers, all of them just about, were not really committing crimes. Is that as troubling to you as it is to me?

[Chris Pajota]

Highly disappointing that no one said anything. But I will tell you, the FBI that I knew, the FBI that I grew up in ceased to exist over time. And I think the FBI agents who were involved in the response to the events of January 6, they lived in an environment of fear and retribution. And that's why you'll have a lot of them knew it wasn't good, but they were scared of the retribution. And you've seen how the FBI was conducting business when it made some questionable choices on how it conducted operations against people in the conservative side of the.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know, in some respects, it restored a little bit of faith that you did have agents speaking out. If you could throw up that. That highlight number five again for me, guys, that reads, we were once an apolitical organization, just as you said, Chris, once an apolitical organization, but I no longer see us as such looking the ground up. We have been used as pawns in a political war, and FBI leadership fell into the trap and has allowed it to happen. I like what they're saying here, Chris, but the problem is they send this anonymously. When I talk about people being bold, and FBI agents ought to be bold, you got to stand up and say this. Not anonymously, but put your name on it.

[Chris Pajota]

Well, the information was probably collected anonymously on purpose because people wouldn't respond otherwise because they fear retribution. I will tell you this. The FBI that I knew, the FBI that I grew up with, you would have had some screaming matches about what was going on at the time. And the FBI that I was proud of did its business in a skilled, objective, apolitical and professional manner, which we saw a pretty severe departure from over the course of the last administration. And I'm hoping that the FBI is back on the right track or at least facing in the right direction under the new leadership.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, let's hope so. I wish some of the old agents, other guys I know like you, Chris Piotta, wish you'd go back in with Bongino and Patel at the helm.

[Chris Pajota]

I'd love to help if I could. And you know I would. I told you I had a great career. I would do it all over again if they let me.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, great stuff. Chris Piotto, it's great to have you on the program first time. I hope you come back again real soon. And I want everyone to check out your book. Wanted the FBI I once knew. Chris. Thank you.

[Chris Pajota]

Thank you, sir.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Absolutely. All right, folks, listen. We have a budget battle going on Right now, Tuesday is the deadline. Here's what the Senate Democrats want. $1.5 trillion in spending hikes, health care for illegals, $500 million for liberal news outlets. All of that, they're not going to get it. President Trump says, you know what? You shut the government down because it's in the Democrats hands right now. Trump's going to go fire a whole slew of federal workers. He's going to use it as an opportunity, which he can. He made that threat before the Democrats said, okay, Democrats appear that they're not going to do that. This is President Trump, though, talking about it today. Everything's going good. We're respected by every nation in the world. And you know what happens? The Democrats want to shut it down. They want to shut it down because they want to give billions, ultimately, with trillions of dollars to illegal migrants, people that came into our country illegally. Some of those people are criminals, a lot of them. It's not what the American people want. The American people have spoken. With the election of President Trump, we want an America first government that puts America first and American citizens first. Democrats don't get it. All right, folks, when inflation jumps and you hear the national debt is over $37 trillion, you ever think maybe now might be a good time to buy some gold?

Please order in the hall. Please order in the hall. So folks, that is UN delegates leaving, staging a walkout before Bibi Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, makes his speech to the United nations today. Now, Israel has become the most hated nation on earth and quite frankly, I don't really understand it and I know many of you conservatives disagree with me. But I'm here to tell you, Israel is our number one ally across the globe and if you listen to Bibi Netanyahu here, he makes a very good point. Let's do a pop quiz and Raise your hand if you know the answer. Here's the first question. Who shouts death to America? Is it A, Iran, B, Hamas, C, Hezbollah, D, the Houthis, or E, all of the above. All of the above. That too, Mr. Netanyahu. And the reality is, do we forget this? The people he named want us dead. They want to march us out on a beach, put us on our knees, lop our heads off, blow us up with suicide bombers, and yet we turn our backs on Israel. It upsets me, it really does. Benjamin Netanyahu, again, Israel will not allow you to shove a terror state down our throats. We will not commit national suicide because you don't have the guts to face down a hostile media and anti Semitic mobs demanding Israel's blood. I want to remind my conservative friends something. Just because you don't like the way Israel acts in certain situations doesn't mean you have to turn your backs on them when they're fighting a war against barbarians like Hamas. And remember Hamas and Al Qaeda in Yemen and the situation we have in Syria and Iran. They all want us dead, too. We're on the same side on that front. Sad, though, that many people forget that. I want to bring in now Rabbi Michael Barclay with us. Rabbi, it is great to have you on the program.

[Rabbi Michael Barclay]

It's great to see you, Grant, and thank you for everything you and your listeners do that Snitchfield army do for the world.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, I appreciate that, Rabbi. Feeling is mutual. Your response, your thoughts about Bibi Netanyahu's speech today?

[Rabbi Michael Barclay]

Look, I think Bibi Netanyahu in a century is going to be remembered like Winston Churchill. I think he is amazing. He has been walking a very fine line. He had to deal with it with the Biden administration. This war should have been over, as you and I have talked about before, this war could and should have been over. Back in 2023, his hands were tied by Biden. Thank God. They are a little bit less tied with President Trump. And I think that it's very exciting to me that he is both. We're looking out for hostages. But he's also very, very clear. The enemies of Israel are the enemies of America. The Quran, the Hadiths, they want us dead. We are kafir. We are infidels. And they want to destroy Israel. And that's just the front line. They want to destroy the entire Western civilization. And God bless Bibi for everything he is doing to try and keep that war in the Middle east as opposed to coming to the United States.

[Grant Stinchfield]

You know, this is A good part to play. I mean, it's interesting. It's almost makes me smile. He's. He's creating his own game show here inside the United nations with the question and answer section. But roll cut 10 for me, guys, because this is another example of the truth that people seem to forget. Second question, who has murdered Americans and Europeans in cold blood? Is it A, Al Qaeda, B, Hamas, C, Hezbollah, D, Iran, or E? All of the above. All of the above. Correct. Again, all three people say all the above there. I mean, it's really somewhat of a shame. Notice Israel is not on that list. Rabbi.

[Rabbi Michael Barclay]

Israel's always been America's ally. They are an ally to freedom. They are an ally to all the biblical world, Jewish and Christian. It is so important that America supports Israel, especially the conservative movement. And look, Bibi is pointing out what should be obvious. 1200 people were killed, tortured, murdered, raped, hundreds taken into dungeons and tunnels. If that happened in America, if that happened from Mexico, we would have leveled Mexico in a day. Yet we're expected to put up with Hamas. Israel has delivered over 3 million tons of food to Gaza, over 3,000 calories per day for every citizen of Gaza they have dropped off and left into Gaza. Who does that?

[Grant Stinchfield]

Well, not many, I'll tell you that. And Israel has been very inclusive as well. When you look at the melting pot of Israel, there's plenty of people that live harmoniously in that. In that country. And you go to the other surrounding countries, if you're not Muslim, you're not allowed in these countries. And again, the world forgets that, too. President Trump, though, I will say, seems to be maybe losing a little patience with Netanyahu. Let me play this clip from you for you. This is from President Trump today. I think we have maybe a deal on Gaza, very close to a deal on Gaza. Hello, Peter. And it's looking like we have a deal on Gaza. And we'll let you know. All right, and real quick, quick, there's that important. But this is the one I was talking about. Do you promise leaders this week that he would not allow Israel to annex the West Bank? Is that something that. I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank? No, I will not allow it. It's not going to happen.

[Variety Podcast Announcer]

Did you speak with Netanyahu about this?

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, but I'm not going to allow it. Whether I spoke to him or not. I did, but. All right, so look, for anyone that claims that the Israelis control President Trump, I think that's pretty clear. That's a resounding no real Quick, if you can. 30 seconds. Your response?

[Rabbi Michael Barclay]

Look, Judea and Samaria are part of Israel. It cannot be two states. There's a place called Mount Peduel. It overlooks. You can see Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the airport all from this place. You cannot put it in the hands of terrorists. And Donald Trump is a genius and he's shrewd. He knows before you build a building on a piece of property, you got to get the permits. Before he can talk about Palestine, he's got to get Gaza settled first. So let's get Gaza settled, let's get Hamas out of there, and then let's see what we end up doing regarding any other form of quote, unquote, Palestinian.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That's a great point. One step at a time and maybe that's what's at play there. Rabbi Michael Barclay, it is always great to see you. Thank you. And I know it's an important Jewish holiday going on right now and we, we will talk to you soon.

[Rabbi Michael Barclay]

May you and your listeners, your fans all be blessed and written in the book of life for happiness, health and prosperity. Thank you for everything, God.

Welcome back, everyone. Time now for our favorite segment of the week, our body language segment. I want to bring in the host of the behavior panel on YouTube and former military interrogator and body language expert Greg Hartley is with us. Greg, welcome to the program.

[Greg Hartley]

Thanks, Grant. Always a pleasure.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, so I thought we would start off with Jimmy Kimmel's apology. Cut three for me, please. Guys, I do want to make something.

[Chris Pajota]

Clear because it's important to me as a human. And that is you understand that it was never my intention to make light.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Of the murder of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it.

[Chris Pajota]

I posted a message on Instagram of the day he was killed sending love to his family and asking for compassion. And I meant it and I still do.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I don't believe him. But Greg, what do you see here?

[Greg Hartley]

Grant? Wonder why you don't believe him. Do you see that you see that adapter? You see that movement? Now, of course, that's release of nervous energy, and this should be a nervous situation, but I can cry about that. Good, too. I mean, look, without coming out and saying, I apologize for. I don't think that's what we hear. He has his own audience here. He's got a group of people that are following. Look at his. He's holding his palm out. He's got his fingers extended. That's confidence in what he's saying, but it's in front of his own audience. And that sway is releasing nervous energy. Hard to see a lot.

[Grant Stinchfield]

But, yeah, I got the feeling that it wasn't sincere, that it was more crying about where his career was headed. He was trying to push that off as he was somehow upset about the event.

[Greg Hartley]

Well, all good actors pull all of their emotion from somewhere. They don't just simply come up and start to pretend to cry. What they're doing is they're at. They're accessing some other memory or some other thing, and they're actually feeling that. So if they're doing that, imagine what he could do. All right. And, yeah, I don't see if he were really going to cry. Those emotions don't come up and go away that quick.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah. All right, let's go to James Comey. James Comey, the FBI director, now faces an indictment for lying to Congress, obstruction of justice. He released a video. I had said earlier, what he says here is very incriminating because he says he's got to stand up to Donald Trump. That was never his job, by the way, in the FBI to stand up to Trump. I think he makes an admission here, but let's roll it and get the body language aspect of this. My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees. And you shouldn't either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said.

[Chris Pajota]

That fear is the tool of a.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Tyrant, and she's right. But I'm not afraid, and I hope you're not either. And I always say this to you. I might have put you in a bind, because what do you get from that? It's, you know, it's a thin picture. There's not a lot. Or is there, Greg?

[Greg Hartley]

Okay, let me tell you what I can see. Number one, really, really prepared statement, of course, because he's, you know, his butts in the sling. So he's going to be one of those people, has to come out with a prepared statement. If you don't believe that, look at the ring light reflection in his eyes. People who do this for a living mostly don't have ring lights. You know that because you look at it all the time. Listen to his cadence. Go. And you can tell he's thinking about what he's going to say while he's reading that, because he almost stumbles over when he talks about voting. It's what the democracy needs. So you can hear there's a stumble or two. It's a prepared statement. It's like anything else. It leaves a very thin. Like you said, it's a thin video. Doesn't leave a whole lot, but you can see that. And if he had sounded like this in front of Congress, we would believe him a lot more. But he didn't sound like Congress.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Interesting. All right, this was. This was one of your ideas. And I find it fascinating to read body language from a picture. And I've always said, judge a book by its cover because you can. I've always joked that we could write. We could. I was going to write a book. Judge a book by its cover because you can. This is a mug shot of Luigi Mangione. This is the. This is the guy that allegedly killed the health care CEO. What do you take? We'll go through some of these, quote, assassins mugshots, and we'll get your response to them.

[Greg Hartley]

So first thing is, I wrote a book called I can read you like a book. So, yeah, that's a great idea for a book. But look at his face. Look. When we see people who are dejected because they've been arrested or wronged because they've done something wrong, we usually see that chin protecting the throat. We see sadness. We may see breaking eye contact, but we don't see that. We see defiance. We see his chin up. We see eye lock. He looks comfortable. This could be a high school photo for all that matters. And part of the reason is because that shows defiance, that shows indignation, that shows validation of him as a person. And I think that's what we're seeing. We're seeing. I said this to you kind of in passing. If this were Islam and he were shooting people for Islam, we would have called him a jihadi, a jihadist, one of those guys, because he is fighting for something in his head. He's fighting for something he believes in.

[Grant Stinchfield]

That's what I see in his head. All right, let's go to the next one. This is Tyler Robinson, the man that allegedly killed. Well, Killed Charlie Kirk. What do you see here?

[Greg Hartley]

Well, look again. Add everything I just said and now add smugness. Look at those lips. That's smug. And that guy is smug looking down his nose at the, at the camera that's taking his mug shot. The problem with this becomes if you think for just a minute about the, the language we're using, calling people fascists, calling people this, calling people that, and you're way out there on the left, then it starts to sound like you, what you believe is more normal than not. And you know, the whole concept of, when we talk about jihadis in Islam, the concept of jihad is one of personal struggle and then occasionally having to go and do something violent to protect. It's not an everyday thing to think that way. But some of these guys, their behaviors fringe on that kind of behavior. We see from the craziest of the Giants.

[Grant Stinchfield]

I want to throw up the ice shooter from yesterday in Dallas or day before yesterday, just to see if you see anything there similar to the others.

[Greg Hartley]

Well, it's tough because we don't have situation. Right. So if he were arrested, I would have a very specific thing to say here. But I don't know whether these are candid pictures. The guy's having a good time. You can see his face. Could be doing something horrific. We can't tell. Could be doing nothing at all. So it's harder to tell. In this case, you have to put framework around those others because they've been arrested for a crime. If, if we caught him. Yeah, maybe we'd see the same thing.

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, let's, let's do one more because I just love working with you on this stuff. Hillary Clinton. This was her yesterday on MSNBC warning all of us about guys like you and me. Greg, two white guys were the most dangerous men in America. Recreate a world that never was dominated by, you know, let's say it, white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology. It's just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.

[Greg Hartley]

Greg, there's that language. There's the language that makes this seem normal. Look, we all know that all Democrats don't think the same thing. Hillary Clinton thinks. We know that. We know that all left leaning people don't think the same thing. Hillary Clinton thinks. And I think she would drink a gallon of palm water on TV if it kept her in front of the camera. Just my opinion. But if you watch her, she believes what she's saying because this is her mantra, this is her message. This is how she almost got to be president. So of course she's going to say these things and she's doing good. Extended fingers. Yeah.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Is it? You keep saying it enough, these people start to believe it.

[Greg Hartley]

Well, if all you do, if all your data coming in is one thing, you're gonna get the wrong impression. You're going to build an image that is absolutely 100. There you see Joe in the background earlier. We hear him talking about things about divisive language while he's as divisive as anybody on earth. So if you sit and listen all day to hearing the Orange man is bad, this is evil, that's evil. J.D. vance is evil. And that's all you hear. That's all you're going to hear. People need to open their ears and have conversation. Charlie Kirk was trying. You try to reach across and talk to people about what you believe and what they believe. That's why I say it's time for you to open your mouth. If you haven't and you have right wing views or right leaning views. Right wing is an extreme word to some people. So.

[Grant Stinchfield]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Greg Hartley, it's great. You know, she says the white guys are dangerous. I said, she's talking about you and me. She is talking about us. And we are very dangerous. If you threaten us or our families, you better believe we may be the most dangerous men in the world. But beyond that, we're keeping everybody around us safe. Greg Hartley, I appreciate you coming on the program today.

[Greg Hartley]

Thanks, pleasure.

[Grant Stinchfield]

[Grant Stinchfield]

All right, welcome back everyone. Let me get to a story that is not getting a lot of national attention, but it should be. And it involves the little known 340B government program. The 3 40B program requires drug manufacturers to sell certain pharmaceuticals at steeply discounted prices to hospitals and clinics in exchange for their drugs being covered through Medicaid and Medicare Part B. Hospitals are supposed to use these discounted drugs for lower income patients. But evidence from a Senate Health, Education, labor and Pensions Committee committee investigation showed that some hospitals end up selling the medication at full price instead. And they end up funding things in a range from profiting facilities to transgender surgery facilities. Now in Michigan, some politicians are looking to expand the 340B program which has been ballooning at nearly 20% a year, incentivizing hospitals to push expensive drugs while draining federal resources. So the problem is twofold. These hospitals aren't passing the savings onto the consumer. And the 340B program incentivizes them to over prescribe these drugs so they can get more of them at a discounted price. But the effort to expand the program is running into a roadblock from Michigan House Speaker Matt hall who says he is standing up to the hospital special interest to protect taxes payers on 340B. That's a direct quote. And that stance goes along with President Trump and the Maha movement too. Why allow hospitals to profit on a program that is intended to help low income patients as well as allow those hospitals to put more money into left wing medical policies? Michigan House Speaker Matt hall is helping to push the Trump agenda by protecting taxpayers against left wing hospital special interests. It's a roadmap national politicians should follow as well. All right folks, do you believe Jimmy Kimmel is back on the Nexstar and Sinclair affiliate outlet 70? So now he's back on all the ABC affiliates. How in the world does something like this happen? Well, Joe Kancha summed it up this way. I liked your segment before Will about debunking a talking point from the left. Well, it looks like we can apply that here too because we were told that President Trump was ruling networks and the media and Late night with an iron fist. No, this wasn't about free speech. Never was. It was about the free market, supply and demand here. The supply was both toxic. All right, he's partially right. Certainly not about President Trump. But this wasn't about free markets. This was about Disney having the ABC affiliates by the cojones. To put it lightly in the contract, it's clear Disney can tell them what they want to run and if they don't run that, they break the affiliate contract and could lose. Having an ABC affiliate. That would be millions of dollars. So not about free markets. How did Disney put the screws to them? Because all of these left wing Hollywood stars were threatening to walk off Disney programs. This had nothing to do with the free markets. It had to do with caving to Hollywood and sadly, that's the reality. So Kimmel is back. My guess is he'll be taken off air May of 2026 when his contract is up. The Translunacy craziness has reached new heights. Now we have phantom period cramps. That's right, phantom period cramps.
