Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. One thing that has become clear to me with all these mass shootings that we've seen, seen over the last few months is that the devil takes advantage of people's kindness. And the devil went into this Church of Latter Day Saints church over the weekend in Michigan, and he walked in there, and he took advantage of the parishioner's kindness. You know, when he crashed his truck into the church, people went up to him and started asking him for help. And instead, the shooter opened fire on them and then ultimately setting the entire church ablaze. Now, what would make someone do this? Obviously, everything goes back to politics in today's day and age, and I can't tell you that politics had anything to do with this shooting. What I can tell you is it certainly appears he had a deep hatred for Mormons. Why? I have no idea. But this is a city council candidate who was canvassing the neighborhood and just a week or so ago, ended up speaking with the shooter. And it puts some light on what.
- [01:40]
C
Happened Wednesday or Thursday. I'm running for city council and I'm canvassing, and I just. I had an address on my map that I went to, and I came across a gentleman. He was very friendly, and he had interacted positively with me. And we got out of the vehicle, we started just to talk. And after a short while, it. The conversation went to the Church of Latter Day Saints Mormonism. And he just made the position multiple times that. That Mormons are the Antichrist. And he, in not so many terms, said that several times.
- [02:11]
B
Nobody on the right is pushing for the killing of anybody. Not Mormons, not Christians, not Jews, not Muslims, nobody. Okay, so again, everything becomes political. And because the shooter, who was a Marine veteran, crashed into the church with two American flags in his truck, he's got pictures all over, wearing camo. Well, of course, the left pounced on all of this, but I think the end result of this comes down to the fact that this guy was a deranged lunatic, and there's very little coming out about him, which is odd to say the least. Here's that city council candidate again, I.
- [02:55]
C
Think, But I want to reinforce it. This is not a blue or red issue. This is 100% personally held beliefs. And again, this gentleman told me about his past and about the ups and the downs.
- [03:08]
B
Did he go into his military background at all or no?
- [03:11]
C
Well, he said he was a Marine and that he was deployed overseas. I don't know if it was Iraq or Afghanistan, but he was of that age where it was in the probably early 2000s. And again, he spoke about just some experiences with drug.
- [03:24]
B
Again, he's been out of the marines for almost 20 years. Those around him say he suffered from PTSD. But I hate bringing up PTSD in situations like this because I know plenty of veterans that have PTSD that are not violent individuals and don't go. Don't go do something like this. That is not a symptom of ptsd. Now, what drugs he was hyped up on, one never knows that could play a role in all of this. And let me reiterate again, it is not our side that is calling on people to go out there and attack ICE agents and create violence situations. That's not where we are. Our side. Now, there are some interesting things that have surfaced. His mother appears to be a Trump supporter, but you can't connect somebody's mother to them. My mother's a liberal. If you read her Facebook post, you'd think I was crazy. So this is a Facebook post from the shooter's mother. Okay. Quote, people lack accountability. Then say, you could have talked to me. No, I couldn't. You don't listen. You deflect. You twist everything into an attack, and then you play the victim. Conversations with you aren't healing. They're exhausting, draining, and emotionally suffocating. Now, it's not clear who that message was to. Was that to her son? Did that set her son off in some way? Could it have been a catalyst? We don't know. But the investigation continues, which is the most important part of all of this. Here's Caroline Levitt.
- [04:57]
D
From what I understand, based on my conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith, and they are trying to understand more about this, how premeditated it was, how much planning went into it, whether he left a note. All of those questions have yet to be answered, but certainly will be answered.
- [05:20]
B
All right, so police were there fairly quickly. I believe police saved lives that day, certainly engaging him and ultimately taking him out. So I'm about solutions to this problem. Taking away guns is not the solution to this problem. You will never take away all the guns. The bad people will always have the upper hand. But putting more good guys around, the innocent, the people we need to protect, will save lives. The more good guys you have, the quicker you take out a bad actor. That, to me, is common sense that the left doesn't see. Case in point, this is a Michigan Democrats candidate for the United States Senate, that enough is enough. We need to have a conversation about gun violence. Right. The Second Amendment doesn't mean any gun for anyone, anywhere, anytime. It means that we understand that there was a space for this, but. But not this. Not that people walk into their church on a Sunday and get gunned down. And so we need to have that conversation. We need to have it urgently. No, we don't. And you've been trying to have that conversation for a long time, Democrats, and you've lost over and over again. We need to see churches, places of worship. Our schools have volunteer programs where people train for this. I know many churches here in Texas that do just that. And I know examples of where that has saved lives. Because you had a volunteer parishioner, an armed guard acting as an armed guard, save lives right here in Texas. I want to bring in now to discuss this former Secret Service agent. My good friend C.J. joriff is back with us. C.J. welcome to the program.
- [06:57]
E
Good evening, Grant. How you doing tonight?
- [06:59]
B
I'm good, C.J. so you live just down the road from me. I'm in Dallas. You're in Rockwall, Texas. I know you're a good Christian. You go to church. You are working with your local church on how do we best protect the parishioners. Can you lay on me exactly how you see it as a Secret Service agent? The best way for any place of worship to protect themselves.
- [07:23]
E
So utilizing the skills that I acquired in the Secret Service can call it a protective advance. I know how to safeguard houses of worship. So the same way that I would safeguard a venue that the President United States was coming to, or anyone else, we look at the whole picture from the inside out, from the outside in. The big thing about that is, and you hit the hammer on the nail. Hammer on the nail is it comes down to training. You can't sit down and wait for somebody else to do something for you. A lot of churches have come and said, hey, help us safeguard our parishioners. What do we need to do? Who do we need to train? How do we need to train them to put them in places where, God forbid, if something bad does happen, they can take the necessary actions. You talked about the law enforcement, the response. That's the bottom line. It's so hard to get people into law enforcement nowadays. But the training that we're providing or is being provided that I've also taken the alert training, advanced law enforcement, rapid response, that's what saved lives on Sunday morning. That's what made the difference.
- [08:38]
B
Do you Think a program where you have parishioners that are basically stationed as sentinels around the church would help.
- [08:50]
E
It's the physical deterrence. If someone sees someone watching them or looking around, constantly being aware of everything that's going on, it makes them more leery to do something. Unfortunately, I don't know the rest of the story, whether this individual had conducted an advance beforehand to know the soft theories within the Latter Day Saints church. But in doing so, you put people to greet, you hook people in certain places around the actual sanctuary so that they're watching. They're not just engaged, they're watching. It's a tough, it's a tough task to do, but it's very easily accomplished. It's something I do every Sunday.
- [09:35]
B
I had heard rumblings that the Church of Latter Day Saints does not want guns in their church. Now I've got to get that confirmed. That would make this a gun free zone. We know people that are evil exploit gun free zones. You can talk about this in a way that when you protect the president. The NRA used to get criticized all the time because they claimed it was a gun free zone at an NRA annual meeting when President Trump or another president would come in and speak. In reality, it wasn't a gun free zone. There were hundreds of guns in that room. They were in the hands of law enforcement, plenty of guns there. We just knew that those unknown could not carry a firearm. We don't have the luxury of doing that at a church. And I don't think you're going to be able to put metal detectors up at a church all over the place. But if you train parishioners, how hard is it to put a program like that in place? C.J.
- [10:27]
E
It'S very, very simple. In my personal business, I have churches that come to me. They train at the range. I help them with their skills and their fundamentals. And I've even gone out and done advances at the church, starting with each one of the security team. And working with the security team, we put them through a rigorous firearms training program. Unfortunately, some weren't too happy with me because their gun handling skills weren't that good. So I made the necessary advisement of, look, I wouldn't have that person inside an area where you had to take a shot, put them outside, put them in another area where their presence would be held, would be seen, and they could help. But you need people that can put, I call it point of aim, point of impact, rounds on target without hurting anyone.
- [11:18]
B
All right, last question for you. I'm sure, you've had to question people have made threats against the President. When you look at what little information we have of this Marine veteran and why he quite may have gone in there, do you make any assessments? Have you been able to break it down on what you think was behind this guy's motives?
- [11:40]
E
Unfortunately, Grant, we have a lot of unstable individuals in our society for one reason or another. They have a bone to pick with someone, a, excuse me, a governmental organization, a individual party, and they use that as, okay, well, this is what I did, why I did it boils down to the motivation of the person. You can cast and say, hey, it's any one thing, but in many cases, you'll never know. You'll never know because what it boils down to is if they have the desire to want to hurt or harm someone, they can. But in the case where you have armed individuals like we have here in Texas, and you know it very well, a lot of these churches have plain clothes security officers doing exactly that. They are the watchdogs that are looking out for the sheep. And we need more watchdogs out there properly trained.
- [12:39]
B
We sure do. And that is a great deterrent. CJ Jorf, I so appreciate your insight on all of these things. Thank you so much for coming on tonight.
- [12:47]
E
Appreciate you, Grant. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
- [12:50]
B
Absolutely, my friend. It's always a pleasure to hang out with the great C.J. jorf. Okay, folks, I want to turn now to the goal. Whether it's at a church or whether it's on a city street, the goal should be to stop violence. The goal should be to stop chaos and destruction. That is what President Trump is trying to do in cities across America, including Portland now. So, folks, that's the scene in Portland, Oregon. President Trump is going to send about 200 National Guard members to start to protect that ICE facility. You know, I have a confession to make. I was not focused enough on Portland. This has been going on for months there. They surround this place. They're well funded, they're well organized, and quite frankly, they are a danger to the complete city, the citizens of Portland. And it's gotten real bad. Yet the mayor doesn't want any help. Let me repeat that. This is an American city.
- [13:55]
F
We do not need any intervention.
- [13:59]
B
This is not a military target.
- [14:03]
F
The president will not find lawlessness or violence here.
- [14:06]
B
I've been so deeply disappointed to see.
- [14:09]
G
The footage from a half decade ago.
- [14:12]
B
Recycled and then recycled again. I'm sure some outlets use it as an example, but I can tell you this Mr. Mayor, you do need to help. Your city is dangerous. And this video isn't from a half a decade ago. That folks is a violent goon pretending to shoot ICE agents. First off, who in the world is that person's mom or dad shooting at ICE agents with your fingers? That's not from 2020. This isn't from 2020 either. This is a post millennial reporter trying to escape the mob. These people are awful folks. They're dangerous and they are motivated to create chaos in these cities because they get publicity over it and in the end, they have the room to riot. That's supposed to be a someplace called a protest zone. What in the world is a protest zone? To me, it's a no go zone and it's anarchy because the police have lost control. Well, I want to bring in now host of the Undivided podcast. Brandi Cruz is with us. She is out in Portland and it's a great pleasure to have her on the program. Brandi, welcome.
- [15:49]
D
Yeah, I'm just shaking my head as you were doing that introduction. You know, I was a TV reporter in Seattle half a decade ago when Antifa took over six blocks of the city and, you know, downtown was burning and the same stuff was happening in Portland. And they didn't say anything about it then either. So they're acting as if, if it were that bad today, they would say something about it. But when it was that bad half a decade ago, they didn't say anything about it at all.
- [16:13]
B
All right, Brandi, what is your assessment on the street there? The mayor wants to tell us everything's fine here. Portland's a nice, safe city. We don't need the National Guard. Your assessment?
- [16:22]
D
Well, look, you know, I've covered Antifa for 15 years and I've seen Antifa at its worst. I don't think that we're seeing anything here that nears 2020. But I think what's severe about what's happening in Portland is the longevity of it. This has been happening for more than 100 days. I was here last night at this time yesterday. There 300 people blocking the streets. If you look right behind me, this is the ICE facility and this is the Sally port where all of the conflicts happen between Antifa, other demonstrators and federal agents. And things got tense last night repeatedly. I mean, federal agents would have to come out. They'd be met with anger and rage and pushing and shoving. They'd have to deploy less than lethal tactics. So. So the reality is the city of Portland has shown that they've abdicated their responsibility to keep this area of the city safe. It should be their job to make sure that ICE agents aren't harassed as they're coming and going. They're not going to do that. So what's the alternative? Nothing. They just do nothing. Trump shouldn't do anything. The Trump administration has a right, as you know, to protect federal assets and federal agents. So if the city of Portland isn't going to do that, and they've made that pretty clear over the last 100 days, then there has to be some sort of effort from the federal government to do it. I almost think. And my assessment is, you know, based on the very small Portland police presence we saw yesterday and that we've seen over the last 100 days, my assessment is Portland wants the responsibility to fall on federal agents and the Trump administration to clear this because they want a conflict. They want there to be violence, and they want to use that to distract from the many crises that they're failing to address right here in their own cities.
- [18:03]
B
You know, it is amazing because I think that's exactly what Antifa wants. They want the conflict and the crisis. And I think leadership. I think you're onto something. Leadership in Portland and Oregon want this chaos to take away from their failure, certainly as a state. I'll ask you, the left wants to pretend that Antifa doesn't exist, that it's an ideology, that there's no such thing as a group of Antifa, even though President Trump has dubbed this now a terror organization. Is it highly organized? Is it a group that we could put our hands around, maybe put handcuffs on? Your assessment of Antifa as a group?
- [18:41]
D
Yeah. My honest answer is it's difficult. Right. There are some. I mean, this idea that it's a figment of our imagination. I've been assaulted by Antifa more times than I can count, most recently in Seattle outside an ICE facility. These are people who claim Antifa. They call themselves Antifa. I mean, they're chanting, this is Antifa land. There are no police here. So there's a segment that really does have organization. They absolutely plan, plot and terrorize. That is what they're all about. And, you know, identifying them being able to prove that in any sort of way where you can, I don't know, form some sort of racketeering case or use a domestic terror label against them, I do think is a challenge for the federal government. You know, they're not like the motorcycle gangs where they're riding around with their patches on them, although some do wear, you know, an antifa insignia. You know, and then there are people. I can't characterize a whole swath of. Of people mad at Donald Trump as antifa. You know, there are a lot of more elderly people, if I'm going to put it delicately, who have come out to this facility who aren't antifa, obviously, but might be engaged in some of this same behavior. So what do you do about them? You know, if you've got an elderly sort of Portland resident who's out here coming face to face with ICE and blocking them, and then you've got somebody all dressed in black who's coming face to face with ice and blocking them, do you charge them differently? I don't know the answer to that.
- [20:01]
B
Yeah, it's a good. It's a good question. Here's what I do know. You charge them both and you come up with something. Whether one gets charged with domestic terror and another one gets charged with obstruction of justice, I don't care what it is. But they all need to be arrested if they're blocking ICE agents from doing their job. Brandi Cruz, I know I don't need to tell you this, but you're a very brave woman to be out there amongst these animals. And really, that's what they are. When the sun goes down, it gets even worse. God bless you and thank you for coming on tonight. Please stay safe. Brandi.
- [20:32]
D
Yeah. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
- [20:36]
B
I appreciate you. And your insight is fascinating for someone who's been in around these people for a very, very long time. All right, on to President Trump. Quickly. It looks like Israel and Hamas. Could we have a peace deal in place? President Trump says that the talks are both inspired and proactive and that he believes a peace deal is close to happening. How would it look? Release all the hostages within 72 hours. There would be the demilitarization of Hamas. All military action on both sides would be suspended. That will happen within the next 48 hours. If Hamas agrees to this. Israel has agreed to it. Israel would, in stages, pull out of Gaza. That is a first in history, folks. They're willing to do this in the name of peace. The Arab nations would play a role in demilitarizing Hamas and getting them under control. But if all fails, guess what? President Trump says. You know what? We will back Israel 100%. Cut 28.
- [21:49]
G
If they're unable to do so, then.
- [21:51]
B
Israel would have the absolute right and actually our full backing, the US Full bank backing.
- [21:57]
G
Israel would have my full backing to.
- [22:01]
B
Finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas.
- [22:07]
G
But I hope that we're going to have a deal for peace.
- [22:12]
B
Me, too, Mr. President. I am not hopeful because I don't place any trust in Hamas or these Arab nations are going to try to work a deal. I really don't. I don't think Hamas is going to uphold their end of the bargain. All right, folks, when inflation jumps and you hear the national debt is over $37 trillion, you ever think maybe now would be a great time to buy some gold? Whether as a hedge against inflation or peace of mind during global instability or just diversification? Well, we've got an answer for you. Birch Gold can help you. All you have to do is text America to the number 989898, and from now until September 30th, Birch Gold will give you a rebate up to $10,000 in precious metals. Just text America to the number 989898. They could roll your 401K into a gold IRA or 401K. Again, it's America to the number 9898. 98. All right, up next, James Comey has already gotten his indictment. Who is next? We will discuss next.

Angel Studios presents a Kennedy curse.
- [23:32]
F
That is the theme of Angel Studios newest documentary, RFK Legacy. It comes from acclaimed filmmaker Oliver Stone, director of the hit movie jfk, and his son Sean Stone. In a profile of the Kennedy legacy that you've never seen before, I want.
- [23:48]
B
To ask you about your father's assassination. Anybody who reads that report will understand that sir, hint could not have killed my father. It's a dirty story.
- [23:58]
F
It explores the Kennedy legacy as told through the eyes of Bobby Kennedy Jr. Who reflects upon his life and memories his time on Cape Cod, his uncle's assassination, his own father's assassination, and his early interest in nature and the environment.
- [24:13]
B
This time you have a dream. How does that play out? I wanted to be working with nature.
- [24:22]
G
He was appalled at what he saw.
- [24:24]
B
This is how he became the leading environmental lawyer in the United States. There's no right to pollute. The polluter pays. My views are constantly misrepresented.
- [24:35]
F
This compelling documentary profiles our current Secretary of Health and Human Services and dives deep into why Bobby Kennedy is who he is, why he cares so much about health in this country, and how his family legacy continues even after family members pass on far too soon.
- [24:52]
B
I don't know if there's a curse. We do what we're supposed to do the outcome's in God's hands.
- [24:58]

B
Today Foreign welcome back everybody. I'll tell you what we are, as I've called it, the season of retribution. And I want more people than just James Comey charged. Top of that list would be Clapper, the intelligence crew, John Brennan, John Brannon was asked about this. You want to hear his response? This is rich folks. I don't see any case against me. I have looked back on all of my actions and decisions and with John Durham, the special counsel and others that have looked at what we did that was certainly consistent with our legal authorities and with the laws. So I don't know what they're referring to there individuals who used to work in the government. Even if their security clearances were revoked, they could be subpoenaed, they could be, you know, called to, to provide testimony in support of whatever allegations they have. All right, look, that's the guy, by the way, who testified that they didn't spy on Senate staffers during a torture investigation and later admitted they did. He's behind the whole Russia collusion scam, the laptop from hell, letter from 52 Intel. What? The list goes on and on and on with him. Him. And then there's Christopher Wray, the former Director of the FBI, the last director of the FBI. This is him lying to Congress. Now that we know there were 274 undercover FBI agents on scene January six, totally out of the norm for the FBI and he's going to claim he didn't know about it back then. This is lying to Congress. Those who were there in an undercover capacity on January 6, how many were there? Again, I'm not sure that I can give you that number as I sit here. I'm not sure. There were undercover agents on scene. 274 undercover agents. Now, according to Cash Patel, the director of the FBI, that would have been one of the largest FBI operations in FBI history. And you're going to tell me him as a high ranking member of the FBI didn't know about it? Bogus. I want to bring in now January 6th, defendant, founder of j6rebuild.org you remember him? They threw him in the hole. They treated him like garbage for heck, maybe four plus years. He's a candidate now for Senate in Florida. I'm talking about Jake Lang. His attorney is with us as well. They are suing the federal government after this latest revelation of these undercover FBI agents on scene. Stephen Metcalf is the Attorney Jake Lang. Welcome to the program. Jake, I'll start with you. Your response to learning all these undercover agents were on scene. And honestly, not one of them stood up and said, you know what? Jake Lang's okay. All the rest of them are okay. Nobody said anything.
- [28:05]
H
Grant, thanks for having me on. Good to see you again. They stole thousands of years of our lives. Collectively, I spent over four years and six days in the D.C. jail gulag. 900 of those days were in solitary confinement. And now, after hiding and obfuscating the truth, all of the federal prosecutors, the judges, the FBI, they're all complicit in one of the biggest cover ups in the DOJ's history. Stealing the lifeblood, the life force out of all these great American patriots. And President Trump just two days ago took to truth social and completely laid into these people saying, just for the love of our country, we suffered years of political torture. And I think it's absolutely ridiculous. And if the January 6ers are not compensated for this egregious constitutional violation and human rights violation, we have no justice.
- [29:00]
B
Yeah. Stephen, can I ask you, what does this lawsuit look like? Because, you know, when I see the vast majority of J6 videos that is never shown by the mainstream media, you have people walking between the ropes talking with law enforcement. We thought there were undercover FBI agents there. Now we're told they were. They didn't stand up for the people that were illegally persecuted. What does this lawsuit look like now and what does it aim to get to?
- [29:28]
I
For years, not only myself, but Jake has been yelling from the rooftops about the true story that happened that day. And Jake just mentioned Donald Trump's social media post and the. And there was one critic that actually stood out to me because he said that Donald Trump is now trying to rewrite history. What this looks like is history actually being written correctly, as it should have been at least four years ago. This means that the real story, all the way from what was called the first breach, had undercover plain clothes FBI agents involved in that throughout the entire time. Both sides and especially on the west side of the Capitol, each one of the steps and the layers and the hours that went on there, there was FBI agents who were either standing right there involved in it, and this is us telling the correct story that should have been told four years ago for the American people and for people like Jake Lang, who shouldn't have suffered at the hands of what was a complete fabrication of what happened that day.
- [30:45]
B
Jake, I can't help but think you tried to save lives that day that if one of these undercover FBI agents would have stood up and say, no, I witnessed what went down and certainly one of them would have, that you could have been spared from all of this. But nobody stood up and said anything.
- [31:03]
H
They held us four years, over four years in pretrial detention. And these FBI agents were brought in actually to testify against all of my fellow J6 brothers. They lied on the stands. That's why President Trump said, we need all 274 of them named. And this $25 million lawsuit that we are planning to bring forth, we have already notified the doj, letting them know you can't just place and entrap American citizens. You can't place them in prison after entrapping them and then not try to give some level of compensation. We missed birthdays, we had family members die. Children grew up without their fathers. We have Jan Sixers who left their pregnant wives at home and came home to three and four year old children that did not know their fathers. This is such an egregious political persecution. And now we're learning that the Fed selection narrative that they claimed was bogus has been correct the entire time.
- [32:00]
B
The FBI is going to be hearing.
- [32:02]
H
From Stephen Metcalf and myself very soon, and we will see you in court.
- [32:06]
I
Let me tell you one thing to add to that, that I remember specifically. And I'm going back to January, I mean, December of 2022, January 23rd, when I left my family, I took my own savings, I went to D.C. and actually stood trial on the Proud Boys Leadership trial. And, and during the time we were picking that jury, blasted on the front of every single newspaper every day. I would pick them up before I went to court and read it into the record was the January Six Committee's findings about Donald Trump. As we're picking this jury in front of the proud boys, I want talk about rewriting history. The correct story has to be told here because from the second we started picking those jurors, this plan of attack was already set on us. And this is years after January six, and it just kept going. Now is finally a day that I could sit back and say all that work was done for a reason. And that goes to the significance of this finding.
- [33:06]
B
Stephen, real quick, will you bring in other J6ers into this lawsuit? And obviously with the DOJ now run by Pam Bondi and Cash Patel at the FBI and Trump in the, in the White House, he pardoned all of the, or reduced sentence, whatever it was, for all these J Sixers, they may just settle with you, because obviously they're on your side.

I can't speak about specifics with regards to other clients. I am still in contact with this. With the whole January Six community. I stay in contact with all my clients throughout these years on a daily basis. And I have great respect for what they've overcome. And so I will be speaking with them and making sure that anything I could do. And I know that's what Jake stands for. I know that we will. We will be there as well.
- [33:59]
B
So the. The both of you. I've watched you fight for J6ers, Jake. You inside a prison, being moved around all over the place at times, not even being able to get access to sunlight. But, um, thank you for both. To both of you, for what you do on behalf of the J6 community. And we'll be following this lawsuit. Please, gentlemen, keep us posted. And Jake Lang, Stephen Metcalf, thank you so much for joining me. All right, folks, as we move on now, tonight, I want to talk about the NFL. It is yet again slapped their fan base straight in the face. Wait to hear the super bowl halftime show is what's next, folks. You know who Bad Bunny is? He's a Puerto Rican singer. I don't really listen to this music. I'm sure my son probably does. Again, it's borderline demonic. You watch his concerts. They're all, like, devil colors, his logos creepy, like from a horror show. Uh, he was quoted as saying once, I'm never going to perform in the United States again because ice agents are going to raid my concert. And who does the NFL pick to do the halftime show at the super bowl this year? Bad Bunny. Here's the announcement. We live in America. Speak English. And you're from Puerto Rico, not from south of the border. Speak English. Okay, this. This is the worst of the worst pick, because the NFL again turns its back on the base, which is Americans who just want to enjoy football and be entertained, not giving a political speech. But the NFL, I don't know what it is. Can they not help themselves? I want to bring in now real America's voice Washington, D.C. correspondent. But that's not really just who she is. Brittany McHenry, you have a sports background, which is why I said, let's get our sports chick on the Washington, D.C. correspondent.
- [36:30]
A
No, when they. When I was hit up about this, I said, I'm actually writing an article as we speak or as we text about this. So, yes, bring me on the show. And I love this show. You're.
- [36:39]
B
You're a blast all right, so what is the problem with Roger Goodell and the NFL? Do they really not care?
- [36:47]
A
You know, I think this traces back to 2019, if we want to get specific. And that is when the NFL partnered with Jay Z. That's when he signed on to produce the halftime shows. Each and every year there has been some sort of messaging, like you mentioned, some political statement, whether it was Jennifer Lopez who was the weaker of the duo between she and Shakira in Miami, putting kids in cages. She said in a documentary, actually, that the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell did not want her to do that, but she sort of bent the rules, had a big Puerto Rican flag. And then this last super bowl with Kendrick Lamar, a rapper that, yes, he's most famous for a diss track towards Drake, a much more prolific rapper, if you're in that genre, than Kendrick Lamar. But everyone afterwards, all of, let's say a younger age group was saying it was so for the culture, it was so important. And I kept asking these people, have you not taken a history class? Did you not know what 40 acres and a mule was? Yes, a bit of an abomination that people, African Americans, were not given the property they were promised back when, 100 years ago. But this is us currently in 2025. I can go to the library. I already knew that. I wanna hear a blend of music. What happened to 2001? We had Aerosmith, we had Nelly, we had Britney Spears, we had NSync. We had a medley of every kind of genre and every kind of age group. Because that is what is important, right? If you are having a halftime show for a game that is getting a record breaking 127 million viewers back in February. That's according to the N. Why wouldn't you want to diversify that and at least have someone whose songs are in English?
- [38:31]
B
Brit. So you have NFL with a history. They were kneeling for the national anthem. They started that craziness. Then they had the end racism and all the stupid messages in the end zones and on helmets. Some of the teams were putting up transgender and LGBTQ flags there. You got the NFL logo in it. I mean, I just want to get back to playing football. So what do you recommend? Because I got a lot of viewers here who say boycott the NFL, but I love my Dallas Cowboys, even though they stunk it up last night. A 4040 tie, which is not cool. But I don't want to stop watching the Dallas cab. But, boy, I really hold my nose every time I try to buy my son. He's A Cleveland Browns fan, a Browns hat or something.
- [39:14]
A
I mean, that's a rough.
- [39:15]
B
I don't want to be spending money with them. What do you recommend people do?
- [39:19]
A
That's tough for me because like you said, I'm a sports girl. Any sports story you can have me on. I covered the NFL for a decade and still as we're discussing it, I feel your pain. I watched the Commanders game and they had sticks and pebbles in offense without their starting quarterback and top two of the three wide receivers. So they lost to one of the worst teams in the league currently. I'm going to still watch the games, I'm going to still support it. But I do think you can become more vocal. If they're going to put those types of mantras and sayings in the end zone, then wear your own on your shirt, go out and voice your opinion on social media as I know a lot of the viewers to your program do and try to just soften the blow, maybe with some beverages, if you will, if the game doesn't go your way. But I think the more that there's a pushback and the more that we speak about this, the more that they might listen. And I say might because it's very one sided. Colin Kaepernick can kneel. I covered him when he, he wasn't talking to the media at all when he was the hot flash in the pan quarterback. So to see him become in what some others on the left consider this martyr for football and say he's training to come back this year. No, he's never gonna play in the NFL again. He settled with them. That won't happen. So I say be vocal yourself. There are some good programs still. There's go pink for breast cancer awareness month starting soon in October and get aligned with things you believe in. But Bad Bunny, I'm just picturing my family, my grandparents, my mom and my dad. How are they gonna sing along to these songs? I mean, he is a three time Grammy winner, but like this choice, I mean, what am I supposed to do, get my Cancun trip booked? I don't know.
- [40:56]
B
You don't need to picture them. You can picture me. I don't know how to sing to any of this either.
- [41:00]
A
We'll text, we'll text during the halftime show about this.
- [41:04]
B
There you go. There you go. Britt McHenry. So happy to have you aboard at Real America's Voice. Thank you for.
- [41:09]
D
Thank you.
- [41:10]
B
You're wearing many hats now at this network and we're appreciative of that. Thank you.
- [41:14]
A
Thanks.
- [41:16]
B
All right. Bad money? Really? Even my son called me. He's like, dad, you're not gonna believe this. He's like, you're not gonna be happy. No, I'm not. All right. We get into a solution beyond fat diets. That's foreign. Welcome back. Anyone. Everyone. Anyone who has tried to lose weight knows that fad diets just don't work. They may work for a minute, but you always gain the weight back. Watch this. Before, I started the program and lost £20 doing, like, Atkins or the Carnivore Diet, but I was crippled, and I feel amazing.
- [41:59]
E
Now I'm running around like I'm 30 again.
- [42:02]
B
My blood pressure went from 159 over.
- [42:04]
E
95 to 129 over 82.
- [42:08]
B
And I feel great.
- [42:09]
G
And. And, Marty, what was the shift that made you decide to go from doing that Carnivore Atkins diet to doing this?
- [42:16]
B
Because I was losing weight, but I.
- [42:18]
E
Still felt like crap.
- [42:19]
B
It was getting the point where I couldn't get in and out of my truck. Even as I'm losing weight, I just.
- [42:24]
E
Everything hurt. My knees hurt, my shoulders hurt. Everything hurt.
- [42:27]
B
It's been amazing. You know what? Just like him, I did the same thing. I did the keto diet. Salami and cheese. Every day, salami and cheese. It worked. But then as soon as I stopped eating salami and cheese and all the other stuff, I gained all the weight back. Then I found the Energized health protocol, And I lost 15 pounds in two weeks. And I continued the program, and I've kept it off and have never felt weird, more healthy in my life. And quite frankly, it was pretty damn easy. I want to bring in now the founder of Energized Health, John Jubilee is with us. John, welcome back to the show.
- [43:01]
G
Hey, Grant.
- [43:01]
B
Great to be here. All right, so fad diets. What do you tell people?
- [43:07]
G
Well, I tell them, hey, look, they already know. They already know. I just ask them a question. How's that working for you? Because we've all had the same experience, Grant. We've all had the same experience that you did. We go on a diet. Every diet works. They all work for the minute, right? They all work for the minute that we're on that diet, but as soon as we go off of it, we all gain back all the weight we lost and then some. And it's so frustrating, you know, to just be, like, on that hamster wheel where it's so frustrating. But, guys, I got good news. Just like Grant, what your experience is, Grant. That was my experience. You know, I had 10 years of failure. 10 years of failure. Tried every diet in the world. Every single one of them worked for the minute I was on it. As soon as I went off, I had the same thing as you. But the great news is, you know, I did this in 1997. That's 28 years ago, if you're doing the math, guys, 28 years ago. And I've been the same size now for 28 years. I eat all foods in moderation. I tell people my favorite vegetable is carrot cake, you know, because guess what? You could eat carrot cake in moderation. So I don't eat the whole cake, but I eat a piece of cake. I eat a bowl of ice cream. I don't eat the whole gallon of ice cream. Everything in the world you can eat in moderation. When you get healthy at the cellular level, you reset your metabolism. And that's unlike what any diet does. Every diet is just calorie restriction. Our metabolism drops when we're on these crazy diets. Grant. And by the way, I think I shared this originally on your show, and this has come to pass just since we've been friends, is I said, as soon as the GLP1s came out, there will be a class action lawsuit coming. I said it on tv. I was probably the first one that ever said it. There will be a class action lawsuit on the GLP1s. The first one is here. It's a multi billion dollar class action lawsuit because people have paralyzed their metabolism, they paralyzed their digestive system. They've lost all their muscle and, and they're going blind, and they're going blind on these GLP1s. So will you lose weight on a GLP1? Yes. But you're losing weight you don't want to lose. You're losing your healthy lean muscle. You're destroying the health of your body. You will pay a price for the rest of your life. It may work for three months or six months or a year, but eventually, guys, just like you see what's happened to this first group of people. They are suing for billions of dollars because they went blind. Their digestive system is destroyed. It will never be the same again. Their metabolism is destroyed. There's a right way to do it. Grant.

I remember, I think it was about a year ago that you called it and it was on this program. And here we go. It's coming to fruition.

I can measure it and prove it. And. And blood pressure down. Everything. Fabulous. All right. Energized health dot com. Energized health dot com. There's a master class there at the website. You can learn about cellular hydration and how this helps you tighten it all up. Okay? Reset your metabolism for good. Energized health dot com. You tell them Grant Stitchfield sent you. All right. Even Rosie o' Donnell's therapist questions her. Trump Derangement Syndrome. Well, Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real. Someone who really has it are these two cackling hens, Nicole Wallace and Rosie o'. Donnell. And if he's not stopped now, we have lost our country. And I don't know, Nicole, how it is that some people cannot see it. My therapist said, why are you so upset? And I said to her, why are you not? Yeah, why are we not? Because we're making America great again. And thankfully, you moved out of the country, so we don't have to deal with you anymore. Except on Nicole Wallace's failed podcast that's gonna do it for us today. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Grant Stitchfield. Stitchfield's army rolls.
